Business traction B

BY DEAN LAWSON

usiness leaders monitoring Wimmera trading activity expect busy Christmas shopping to reflect the start of a rebound in economic confidence.

West Vic Business ambassador Stacey Taig said shopping precincts in many regional centres were ‘humming’ and providing a much-needed ‘light at the end of the tunnel’. She said apprehension and anxiety remained about how the COVID-19 pandemic might continue to affect trading and business viability. But many businesses were adopting a proactive approach and despite having endured considerable hardship were working hard to forge ahead. “There have been several strong indicators of a return to business confidence in the region – none more so than seeing busy shopping streets and

centres,” Ms Taig said. “And isn’t it great that we’re seeing such life again in our streets? It’s been more than nice to see town centres absolutely packed with people shopping generally, let alone for Christmas, and enjoying each other’s company. We now need our hospitality sector back in full swing to drive momentum. “What we’re seeing is representative of business communities scratching the surface of a rebound. “It’s indicative of a more positive trend after months of hardness.” West Vic Business represents member business interests in Horsham, Northern Grampians, Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh and West Wimmera municipalities. Previously Business Horsham, the group expanded in September to represent business interests across the broader Wimmera and southern Mallee.

Ms Taig said businesses and supporting communities needed to remain positive and to also use lessons from the pandemic to adjust operations and direction. “What we’re seeing at the moment points to everything going in the right direction. We only really have one of two ways to go,” she said. “West Vic Business, with this rush back into a busy shopping period before Christmas, has identified a need for the region’s business community to be open to suggestions and-or new ways of generating opportunities. “Sometimes we get stuck in the way we’ve always done things. COVID-19 has really held a mirror up to every business owner and said this is an opportunity to stop and have a look at what they do and how they operate. “It’s forced many to explore ways of adjusting what they need to do

differently to capture the market.” Ms Taig said online trading, which had blossomed during the pandemic, represented as much an opportunity as a challenge for regional outlets. “We can’t simply deny that it’s there and must tap into it,” she said. “There is a need to be proactive in the online space. We can’t afford to sit back and watch and the reality is that if you can’t beat online traders, join them through e-commerce or store websites and then provide the added bonus of local back-up support. “We’re working with Wimmera Development Association on a digitalenhancement project next year and encouraging our members and the greater business community to look at that side of business.” Ms Taig congratulated businesses that were surviving through the pandemic.

“My hat is off to every business owner. They have gone through a horrendous experience and endure the ongoing stresses involved,” she said. “The fact they are surviving is a real credit to them. “West Vic Business leads a regional chorus saying we’re very proud of them.” Ms Taig encouraged communities to support their businesses as strongly as possible. “Get out there and spend money in our stores and on our services. Businesses are integral to a regional way of life,” she said. “And for businesses, customer service must be a primary focus. “The important aspect is that we want return custom and goodwill is everything. We also need business champions for our region.” Continued page 3

SEASON’S GREETINGS

TEST PIT REHABILITATION

AXIS WORX & Wimmera Grain Store

This past year has seen considerable progress for the Avonbank Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) Project, including: ♦ successful rehabilitation of the test pit ♦ successful growth and harvest of a barley crop over the test pit ♦ completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) ♦ major progress in advancing Environment Effects Statement (EES) related studies.

WIM commenced rehabilitation of the Avonbank test pit in late January 2021.

Each year WIM sends a small token of appreciation to a group of stakeholders in the form of a Christmas hamper. We partnered with AXIS WORX and Wimmera Grain Store to create these hampers. WIM is appreciative of the opportunity to partner with AXIS WORX and Wimmera Grain Store, and to provide ongoing support in their employment and local produce programs.

This process was aimed at returning the entire site back to cropping land and included several stages, which have largely been successfully completed: 9 Stage 1 – cover tailings with overburden 9 Stage 2 – subsoil and topsoil replacement 9 Stage 3 – seed a crop and monitor crop 9 Stage 5 – harvest crop 9 Stage 6 – on going monitoring.

On a stakeholder engagement front, WIM Resource Pty Ltd (WIM) has endeavoured to engage as much as possible, given restrictions: ♦ eight Avonbank Project webinars and several information stands ♦ six Community Reference Group (CRG) sessions held during 2021 ♦ Longerenong College Student Research Partnership ♦ sponsorship of the Murtoa Big Weekend ♦ sponsorship of Teacher Earth Science Education Programme (TESEP) and rock kits.

Longerenong College Partnership

WIM is aiming for mid-2022 to have the EES at a public exhibition stage. At this time there will be an opportunity for formal public comment. The Avonbank Project test pit rehabilitation has reached a significant milestone – with the successful harvesting of barley from the test pit site. Further studies around rehabilitation will continue to be undertaken. On behalf of the Board of WIM Resource, thank you for your input over the past twelve months, and we look forward to an exciting year ahead. Michael Winternitz Projects Director

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT UPDATE Regular engagement with stakeholders is important to WIM. We ensure that channels for communication are open, and stakeholders and the broader community have opportunities to discuss our project and provide constructive feedback that will assist WIM to move forward with effective planning.

Avonbank Project Webinar Series Eight webinar sessions discussed topics such as Economic Impact and Surface Water Impact, transport, noise, radiation, and Visual Impact. All sessions were recorded and can be found on the webinar page of our website.

Community Reference Group (CRG) Six CRG sessions provided the opportunity for community and business representatives to learn about the proposed Avonbank Project, ask questions and have input into areas of the project design, where practically possible. Harvested barley from the rehabilitated test pit site

EES UPDATE The next twelve months is expected to see: ♦ WIM will finish completing the EES ♦ Public Review of the EES ♦ Ministerial Assessment process may commence.

WIM formed a partnership with the Longerenong College, whereby second year students, as part of their ‘Conduct a Research Trial’ Unit, would study the Avonbank test pit to investigate the impacts of mining and rehabilitation on soils and crop growth. Despite restrictions hampering on-campus study, the students completed their unit and found that the disturbed area which had been rehabilitated, did not perform worse than the non-disturbed areas. WIM looks forward to continuing our partnership with the College for the 2022 student cohort.

Engagement Planned for 2022 WIM proposes to continue to undertake: ♦ Avonbank Project Webinar Series as information sessions for EES studies ♦ CRG meetings ♦ in-person engagement and community information stands at events ♦ support regional education and training initiatives ♦ ongoing support of the Longerenong College partnership ♦ ongoing support of the Murtoa Big Weekend ♦ exhibit at the Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

Community Information Sessions Although COVID-19 restrictions resulted in lower inperson engagement than anticipated, WIM held over 50 hours of community engagement at locations such as Horsham Golf Club, Dooen Community Hall, Murtoa Neighbourhood Community Centre, Horsham-based Rotary Clubs, Haven Market and Jung Market, and Horsham Plaza.

Travel freedoms prompts warning W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera police expecting motorists to seize renewed opportunities to travel this Christmas have warned them of a heightened level of danger on regional roads and highways.

They are predicting a flood of holiday-makers to travel to and from the region in what represents the first chance in months for many to move across the state. Victoria Police will launch Operation Roadwise on Friday in response to an expectation of a Christmas holiday ‘flood’ on regional routes. Wimmera Superintendent Ian Milner

said the operation had a simple emphasis of reducing road trauma while allowing people to move safely across the state. He said police members were ‘more than well aware’ that the approaching Christmas break presented what has been a rare opportunity in the past 18 months for people to travel. “We already know that we’re entering a traditional risk period for people on our roads and that it is a peak period for collisions caused by impaired driving,” he said. “But this year there is a greater opportunity for people to enjoy more freedoms to travel than they have had in recent times.

“While this opening up of the regions represents a progressive move forward, it also comes with inherent dangers.” Mr Milner said impaired driving caused by alcohol and drug use always represented a threat during the holiday season. He said there was now more potential than ever for motorists to also lack practice in travelling long distances. “We are stressing that people be careful, drive safely and take their time. If you need a break, have a break. We want everyone to get to their locations and to get home safely,” he said. “Be switched on, pay attention, drive

to conditions and obey road rules and speed limits. If people haven’t travelled over long distances for a while and sense they are getting tired then they should pull over and rest.” Mr Milner said driver distraction had contributed to recent Wimmera road incidents, including fatalities. “Pay attention and be aware at all times,” he said. “We’re expecting considerable traffic through the region and interstate travellers with borders opening up. “People will want to visit our inland waterways, national parks or to catch up with family and friends. “We have long, straight roads, which can lead to distraction, and keep an

eye out for wildlife. There are many kangaroos on our roads in particular, as well as emus and deer. These are added hazards of which people need to be mindful. “A simple tip when driving through recognised kangaroo country is to simply slow down.” Mr Milner said police, as part of Operation Roadwise, would provide a ‘highly visible and active presence’ on Wimmera roads. “And if anyone observes inappropriate activities on our roads they can always report to the Victoria Police assistance line 131 444 or email onlinereporting.police.vic.gov.au,” he said.

From page 1 Ms Taig also stressed a need for everyone to be respectful amid businesses checking customers’ vaccine status. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy brought the issue up in State Parliament, calling on the government to ‘do more to support businesses in managing the onerous task of enforcing COVID restrictions and to address COVID-related workforce shortages in regional areas’. Ms Kealy said many businesses had contacted her with concerns regarding the responsibility they had to manage COVID rules. “The strict compliance rules implemented by Labor are an additional burden and stress for our local businesses in terms of enforcement,” she said. “Our regional businesses have been through enough and yet I continue to receive calls from business owners informing me that they have been bullied and harassed by enforcement officers despite their compliance with Victorian COVID rules. “I am also informed of staff who are being threatened each and every day while checking vaccination status or refusing service for those people who are not vaccinated.”

Grampians campaign a finalist

tourism promotion that called on people to encourage friends and family living beyond the region to visit Grampians National Park and surrounding communities is up for a major award.

Grampians Tourism is a nomination for Victorian Tourism Awards for its ‘Host with the Most’ campaign. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said the promotion, launched in December 2020 and running until March 2021, had been a major success. “It was at a time when metropolitan Melbourne was coming out of a tough lockdown period and represented the first green shoots of people tentatively

moving again,” he said. “It gave us an opportunity to put our local community at the centre of being ambassadors for the region. “It helped our community understand what’s in their own back yard and really encouraged visitor dispersal across the region. “It helped support businesses that needed support and will ultimately lead to long-term benefits continuing year on year.” Grampians Tourism partnered with Horsham, Northern Grampians and Ararat municipal councils for the Host with the Most promotion. The concept was designed to help stimulate the regional economy and

help consolidate the Grampians as a popular visitor destination. A primary aim was to help the regional tourism industry recover from the impact of closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Estimates are the tourism industry annually contributes more than $540-million to the regional economy. ‘Host with the Most’ encouraged people across the region to become ‘hosts’ by inviting visitors to explore some of the Grampians’ attractions, cultural expeditions, culinary experiences and scenery. People who signed up to become hosts had access to special offers, guides and invitations to send to

friends and relatives. The project involved redeeming ‘passports’ from participating business operators and people could collect stamps to win holiday prizes. Mr Sleeman said the project led to people expressing pride in their communities. “It was about getting metropolitan visitors back into the market, but also encouraged communities to experience what they had at their own doorstep,” he said. “We saw a 35 percent increase via our website of visitation from within the region. And with the involvement of locals we had an increase in visitor knowledge about the region.”

‘Forever Jung’ reunion set for March A reunion in March next year will hark back to a time when representative football teams flew the flag for most tiny Wimmera settlements and districts. Organisers are in the process of formalising details of a March 6 reunion for former Jung Football Club, which formed in the 1890s, played in Horsham District league from 1946 and finally disbanded in 1973. The reunion, at Jung Recreation Reserve, will be open to anyone with a historical association with the tiny settlement, nestled between Horsham and Murtoa. The concept is the brainchild of Keith Thistlethwaite, whose father Bob was the Jung club’s last president. “The idea for a ‘Forever Jung’ reunion is basically about roughly commemorating 50 years since the club disbanded and trying to recognise and reflect on history before it gets forgotten,” he said. “It all came about when I was at the Jung Market and the sheds were open and I was keen to explore some of the history. “On a day off work I also went for a drive to Pigeon Ponds, where Jung played its last practice match. “More and more, the people I talked to reckoned it was a great idea. “Gary Jelly, who played in a Jung under-17 premiership, had originally asked me about it 10 years ago. So I thought I had better do it now or it was never going to happen. “I was born in 1965 and would go to the football with my dad and can only just remember the atmosphere surrounding the club. I can remember Jung’s last coach – Greg Hayes – who in his first game with steel goal posts installed at the ground was pushed head-first into one of them.” Mr Thistlethwaite said he had gained further enthusiasm about a reunion after

HISTORY MAKING: Jung Football Club premiership players Wally Rowsell, left, and Kevin McKenzie reminisce about the 1968 premiership in Horsham District Football League. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER discussions with Pam Baker, wife of the late Peter Baker, a Jung stalwart who went on to become a prominent Wimmera league administrator. “Pam still has considerable memorabilia from the time. We are calling on everyone who might have a Jung connection to get involved,” he said. History shows Jung won Horsham District league senior premierships in 1954 and 1968 and also an under-17 flag in 1969. Jung reserve has provided the ancestral stage for many significant Wimmera sporting teams and individuals. A return of football to the reserve after an absence of decades came when it pro-

vided the setting for the 2015 Australian film, The Dressmaker. Mr Thistlethwaite said the reunion was likely to be a Sunday afternoon gathering with memorabilia. “We’re starting a Facebook page and will put up more information as we get closer to the event,” he said. “We want to include everything that has gone by the wayside, such as Jung Tennis Club and Jung City cricketers, to whoever still maintains a connection with the town and reserve today. “We’re calling on everyone with some association to come back on the day to catch up and reminisce.”

Contingency plan in place Hindmarsh Shire Council leaders have been busy preparing plans and contingencies in the event the municipality becomes a COVID-19 hotspot. Council officers, Wimmera Emergency Management Team co-ordinator John Hutchins and Department of Families, Fairness and Housing, DFFH, area of operations co-ordinator Mathew Chamberlain delivered an online presentation about their plans to the community. Mr Hutchins outlined emergency management structures in place across an array of government departments, along with an ‘improved understanding’ about how emergencies would be managed during a natural disaster amid the pandemic. He said the reciprocal partnership between ongoing business responsibilities and council support was of utmost importance. He said as businesses were now largely going to self-manage exposures, it was imperative all business considered their COVIDsafe plan, and ensured all staff understood COVID-safe practices. Mayor Melanie Albrecht said business representatives could contact the council’s business concierge service for more information and free and confidential COVID-safe plan reviews were available from Ernst and Young. “COVID-19 has reached our shire,” she said. “If you are a business owner in Hindmarsh, it is important to understand the recent government changes to COVID-19 rules and the legal requirements you have in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak in your business.” Cr Albrecht said community members and business owners who were unable to attend the presentation could access documents on the council’s website, hindmarsh.vic.gov.au. She said people could call business concierge and hospitality support officer Emma Ussing on 5391 4444 or 0429 406 709, or email eussing@hindmarsh.vic.gov.au for more information.

A sense of solidarity, optimism www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

ome would argue there is no greater power than an honest sense of optimism and confidence, especially when it comes from a business perspective.

As confidence grows, so does spending and as spending grows so does demand, jobs and general economic activity. When there is confidence in the air, our steps forward are invariably larger and faster. As we’ve seen in recovering from drought, steely resolve, fresh ideas and new ways to make ends meet come as the business community takes tentative steps from the doldrums. And West Vic Business ambassador Stacey Taig’s observations of ‘a light at the end of the tunnel’ for the Wimmera’s business fraternity is more than a little encouraging. It backs up similar thoughts that have been drifting from conversations at business gatherings, pre-Christmas get-togethers and future-projection meetings. It makes us consider the old term, ‘down but not out’. While there is a lingering feeling of anxiety and a tough past two years, conversation topics are becoming upbeat as people show faith in and support traders of various goods and services. If the optimism is as profound as some of us suspect, our region appears in fine shape to strongly emerge from the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic.

LOOKING FORWARD: Above, Wade and Lynette Morrow with ACE Radio Broadcasters chief executive Mark Taylor, and below, from left, Dominic van Dyk, Vicki Tyler, Maryanne Thomas and Kel Tyler at The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM client night. Pictures: PAUL CARRACHER An atmosphere generated by business representatives at a Christmas client night for The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM suggested as much. Many reflected on experiences of tough going throughout the year, but just as many were quick and keen to discuss how their trading experiences were either bouncing back or accelerating. Similar to East Grampians Business Awards in Ararat a couple of weeks earlier, there was a strong sense of solidarity and optimism. For some of us who have been covering the impact of the pandemic, this growing feeling of positivity comes as an unexpected but welcome surprise.

There is broad acknowledgement that society has a way to go to fully emerge from COVID-19, but every little win we’re achieving appears to be building an extra layer of resilience. We’re going to be dealing with uncertainly for some time, especially while COVID-19 shoots off variants that have scientists scurrying back to the lab. But if anything is more infectious than the scourge of this virus, it must certainly be the resolve of our rural and regional business communities and their ability to see opportunity from the darkest depths. Here’s hoping we can soon get close to finally beating this bug and can seriously start tapping into the optimism and confidence sneaking its way back to the surface.

Grains park at centre of testing H

BY NICK RIDLEY

orsham is at the forefront of a new program to safeguard Australia’s $1.29-billion grains industry as part of research into developing new pulse crops.

Grains Innovation Park in the Wimmera centre is the base for research into quarantine protocols to screen for biosecurity threats that come with imported grain necessary in the crop-development research process. Agriculture Victoria research scientist Dr Solomon Maina is leading post-entry-quarantine pulse research at Australian Grains Genebank at the Horsham site to develop targeted genome-detection tests. The work is the latest project at the park, which plays a key role in national and global research and innovation in grain-production systems. Dr Maina said developing genomedetection tests to safeguard seed exchanges at the genebank border was the primary focus of the research. “This is a world-first approach within plant-virus diagnostics,” he said. “And it is the first method that can test seeds for multiple biosecurity threats at once. The tests are highly sensitive and cost-effective. “The technology helps speed up endemic and exotic crop-virus surveillance and the cataloging of novel beneficial micro-organisms for use in breeding programs.” Dr Maina said researchers, in using the tech-

nology to identify beneficial micro-organisms in imported seed as well as viruses, allowed breeders to more efficiently select desired germplasm to incorporate within breeding programs. “These beneficial microbes have the potential to boost pulse-crop productivity through a variety of agronomic impacts, including improved nitrogen-fixation rates,” he said. Dr Maina said testing for biohazards in grain would be similar to how humans tested for COVID-19 and would align with testing methods at Australian Grains Genebank. “The diagnostic tests will be included as standard operating procedures in the genebank, post-entry quarantine facility and used in virus interceptions at the border,” he said. “In order to sustain economic viability of the grains industry in Australia, it is very important to protect the industry from potentially damaging viruses.” In April this year, the State Government confirmed Grains Innovation Park would be home to a $4-million nationally significant biosecurity centre to provide greater security for Australia’s broadacre cropping and food-production industry. The Post Entry Quarantine, PEQ, facility is designed to help the industry safely introduce new crop varieties from interstate and overseas while preventing the introduction of destructive plant pests and diseases.

Plan to attract, retain nurses A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Federal Government scheme to help regional communities attract and retain doctors has won broad praise from the Wimmera and beyond. Member for Mallee Anne Webster, Horsham’s Lister House Clinic chief executive Amanda Wilson and a national student union are among supporters of the plan. The Federal Government has announced details of a trade-off scheme that involves cutting university fees for doctors and nurses willing to work in regional areas. Member for Lyne David Gillespie outlined the concept in several media interviews last week. The scheme is based on doctors and nurses living and working in regional areas for 24 hours a week or a period of half of their degree. Dr Webster said she welcomed ‘every tool in the toolbox’ to increase the health workforce in regional centres. “This is in response to the reality that there is not a shortage of medical graduates, but rather the distribution

of those graduates. At present too many are staying in the city,” she said. “Another solution I propose is to promote local training by offering increased Commonwealth Supported Place funding to universities in regional areas, such as Federation University and La Trobe University.” Dr Webster said her expectation was that Mallee would attract more nurse practitioners and general practitioners to regional centres and call regional communities home. “I don’t think it is the panacea. As a Nationals MP I continue to fight for other solutions, such as provider numbers being attached to postcodes,” she said. “At present too many graduates are staying in the city. “Under our proposal doctors would be free to work in already low doctor-patient-ratio urban settings, but not be able to access a provider number. “They would have to charge full fees until an existing provider number in that postcode became available. “They would, however, be able to

receive Medicare rebates if they practised in a country setting.” Mrs Wilson said recruiting nurses and doctors was a continual struggle. “People come and go. We have a lot of training doctors who only work for us for a year or two,” she said. She said one of the issues with finding staff was requirements to be a general practitioner. “You have a training program, and you need to move around before you can qualify as a general practitioner,” she said. Mrs Wilson added a concern about the plan was that it only targeted university graduates. “Working in regional areas is difficult because you are required to

complete procedures without much support,” she said. “The isolation of rural areas is another difficult factor. “International arrivals also struggle with cultural differences. “There is a rare breed of doctors, who are dwindling, who do feel embedded in regional communities.” Mrs Wilson said the Federal Government’s plan would ultimately benefit the Wimmera. “We are a small community that will embrace you,” she said. “The community that happens here is very rare in the medical world, we have shops, schools and a place to make a home.” National Union of Students president Zoe Ranganathan said the union had called for the phasing in of free education incentive measures during the year. “We know free education works. The success of free TAFE in Victoria proves this,” she said. “It’s overdue. The union is glad that this government finally agrees.”

Aradale in spotlight E

BY DEAN LAWSON

xploration into the potential of Ararat’s historic Aradale is set to gather momentum with help from $500,000 in State Government money.

Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas visited the site’s precinct, most of it sitting dormant for several years, to announce the funding. Ararat community leaders have been keen for several years to investigate what socio-economic opportunities the site offered for the city. The funding for the Economic and Social Development Strategy for Aradale, which also includes a $125,000 commitment from Ararat Rural City Council, represents the first significant move to identify opportunities at the site. Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said the announcement was ‘fantastic’ and had generated considerable excitement. “This will finally give us the opportunity to gather information needed to come up with an evidence-based direction in how to best use the precinct for further growth and investment in the area,” she said. “The study will involve everything about the site. There won’t be any obvious or immediate change but there will be a lot happening behind the scenes. We want to do it once and we want to do it well. “There are a variety of potential uses and previous councils have attempted to find a one-size-fits-all solution. But it has proved far more complex than that.

“What we know is that it is a massive regional opportunity. We will be jumping straight in because there is no time like the present. “The council will procure a consultant and we will be part of a control group working with other government groups. “Community engagement will be important to ensure everything is thoroughly explored.” Aradale, sitting on 100 hectares on the eastern outskirts of Ararat and originally self-contained Ararat Lunatic Asylum, features more than 60 buildings, some of them iconic parts of Ararat district landscape. Only about a quarter of the site includes building development. The asylum opened in 1865 and closed in the 1990s as a result of a move to deinstitutionalise psychiatric patents in the state’s hospital system. At its peak it had up to 1000 people on site and operated as an independent village. The State Government owns the land and in 2017, estimates to bring some of the grand but deteriorating buildings up to standard for public use ranged between $50-million and $60-million. The funding will support Ararat Rural City Council in navigating the heritage and planning complexity involved at the site. A project focus will be on options to transform the precinct for mixed-use commercial and residential development while maintaining or restoring heritage values. Melbourne Polytechnic has leased part of Aradale, one of the site’s buildings has also provided a site

for Ararat U3A gatherings and the former hospital has been subject to various types of tours. User groups will be part of the exploration. The Ararat council declared in February last year that it needed to know what the State Government planned to do with the precinct. Chief executive Tim Harrison said at the time there was a pressing need for a resolution for the precinct and discussions were underway with government, Regional Development Victoria and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning representatives. Ms Thomas said the government was supporting options to breathe new life into the historic site. “We look forward to seeing how this existing infrastructure can be transformed into new opportunities for the region,” she said. “We’re supporting communities across the state and ensuring Victoria continues to have the nation’s most vibrant regional economies.” Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford added: “Aradale is a significant local landmark and now will be a model for regeneration and reuse – we’re proud to be backing an initiative that will make a real difference to how people live. “This project is an opportunity to transform the economy, diversify businesses and secure developments that create new investment to make this region thrive.” The government has used money from its Investment Fast Track Fund, part of a $156-million Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund, for the Aradale development plan.

CELEBRATION: Horsham centenarian Edna Braune, centre, celebrated her 101st birthday with family and friends earlier this month. Mrs Braune was born at Nhill and grew up at Tarranginnie before moving to Melbourne. She retired to Horsham where she still lives independently. She is pictured with her daughter-in-law Pam Duldig, her children Clem Duldig and Careen Keyte and son-in-law Ray Keyte.

Cultural events at Brambuk Brambuk: The National Park and Cultural Centre will host live musical performances and cultural workshops this summer. Brambuk Summer Series includes ‘small, intimate’ live music performances and interactive cultural workshops in December and January. The line-up of musicians includes Gunditjmara-Kirrae Whurrong songman, Brett Clarke; Gunditjmara-Kokatha singer and songman Dave Arden; and Gunditjmara-Kirrae Whurrong songman Lee Sonnyboy Morgan and his band. Interactive cultural workshops include cultural basket weaving with Djapwur-

rung artist, Rebecca Jakobi; storytelling through art with Gunditjmara visual artist Sherry Johnston and Kirrae Whurrong traditional culture, language and dance workshop with Brett Clarke. All events and activities are free of charge. Bookings are required via website parks.vic.gov.au/news/2021/11/29/02/12/ brambuk-summer-series-2021-22. Parks Victoria manages Brambuk: The National Park and Cultural Centre in association with Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation and Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.

Grassfires move so quickly, it’s impossible to outrun them. This summer, significant pasture growth in paddocks and roadsides means that fast-moving grassfires will be a serious risk across Victoria. Rural grassfires can be just as dangerous as bushfires, and can actually spread even faster, travelling at speeds of up to 25km/h. If you live close to open paddocks or grasslands, you could be at risk and need to be prepared. On high-risk Fire Danger Rated days, the safest option is to leave early.

Celebration at Natimuk BY SARAH MATTHEWS

atimuk residents and regional leaders came together at the weekend to celebrate the official opening of two major community projects valued at more than $600,000.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster cut the ribbon to open the Natimuk Showground Upgraded Pavilion and Virtual Reality Show Day Attraction projects. Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth said the event was well attended and celebrated the culmination of two important projects years in the making. The pavilion upgrade, at Natimuk Showground, included a complete kitchen re-fit along with roof, ceiling lining, air-conditioning and carpet works. The virtual reality attraction comprises two farm-focused video games as part of a ‘grain arcade’, to launch at the 130th Natimuk Show in March next year. Mrs Bysouth said the projects, valued at $624,000, were primarily funded by a $499,000 Federal Government contribution. “The Nati A and P Society and Natimuk Showground Committee of Management and user groups contributed $45,000 and we got a loan of $80,000 from Horsham Rural City Council,” she said. “Seventy percent of the money was spent on the pavilion upgrade and 30 percent on the virtual reality project. “Both projects came in under bud-

Tourism money The State Government has called for applications for projects designed to drive a recovery in regional tourism and generate jobs. Tourism Minister Martin Pakula said the government would allocate up to $100-million through its Regional Tourism Investment Fund to support ‘new experiences and attractions and the reimagining and revitalisation of existing favourites – focusing on nature, epicurean, arts and culture, and First People’s experiences’. He said the government’s Visitor Economy Recovery and Reform Plan in April identified the four priority areas, setting out a strategy to grow annual visitor spending to $35-billion by June 2024 – supporting 300,000 jobs in the sector. He said the fund would provide grants of up to $10-million per project, with a minimum funding amount of $150,000 per project. Mr Pakula encouraged applications from private businesses, local and state government entities, incorporated associations, not-for-profit groups, Traditional Owner corporations and Aboriginal organisations and groups. He said further information about the fund was available online at business.vic.gov.au. Registrations of interest close on January 7.

Grants up for grabs CELEBRATION: Pictured at the opening of Natimuk Showground Upgraded Pavilion and Virtual Reality Show Day Attraction projects at the weekend are, from left, Member for Mallee Anne Webster, Trevor Bysouth, Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth, Member for Lowan Emma Kealy, Dave Jones, Philip Webster and Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline. get, which allowed us to gut and re-do the toilets and give the bar a facelift. The whole pavilion now looks magical.” Mrs Bysouth said community members enjoyed Saturday’s celebration. “Members of Natimuk community and beyond enjoyed a two-course evening Christmas meal,” she said. “Each table featured a table centre provided by one of the user

groups at the showground.” Mrs Bysouth paid tribute to Natimuk Showground committee president Travis Maybery and secretary Cheryl Sudholz, who did the ‘hard yards’ during the pavilion upgrade, organising and supervising contractors. Mrs Bysouth and society project officer Michael Sudholz oversaw both projects, in particular the grain arcade, with Dave Jones heavily involved in the virtual reality project.

Brass band showcase Natimuk Brass Band will play Christmas music for district residents on Sunday. Bandmaster Bob White said residents were welcome at the 6pm performance in the town square and encouraged them to bring chairs. He said the band would provide carols sheets and was excited to be performing in public again.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is encouraging Wimmera groups to apply for grants aimed at preserving the history of regional communities. She said a Local History Grants Program was open to all not-for-profit community groups and invited submissions. The program has supported Warracknabeal Cemetery Trust, providing $6288, and Hopetoun and District Historical Society, $4152. Ms Kealy said the grants aimed to support community groups planning or working on projects to secure stories for generations to come. “I encourage all local historical societies, schools, sporting clubs and special-interest groups to apply for this grant,” she said. Ms Kealy said further information was available online at prov.vic.gov.au and applications closed at midnight on January 24, 2022.

Project focus on life skills A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Horsham primary school has moved away from electronic devices to teach students basic day-to-day life skills through a Leadership Wimmera project.

The Life with Skills project was the result of a Leadership Wimmera program that challenged children to learn hands-on life skills. Haven Primary School students from grades four to six learnt basic plumbing skills and first aid, among other things, during project sessions last week. The project also aimed to teach students how to have healthy relationships with emergency services personnel. Horsham police attended the event to build stronger connections with the community and strengthen the bond between police and the younger generation. Horsham ACE Radio account manager James Davidson, Angela Dicker, Elders Rural Services Horsham, Tim Carter, Breuers Hire and Horsham Rotary Club, and Bianca Gold, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, DELWP, planned the day. Mr Davidson said COVID-19 had forced children indoors and had affected social interactions. “Screen addiction has seen a significant rise in our younger generation due to the nature of remote learning, lockdowns and everything else in between,” he said.

HANDS-ON: Haven Primary School year-five student Aiden Reinheimer enjoys some project construction time. Picture: NICK RIDLEY Leadership Wimmera annually runs leadership courses with people from various backgrounds and some of the courses involve developing community projects. Leadership Wimmera works under the umbrella of Wimmera Development Association, which advocates for several Wimmera municipal councils. The program is one of two yearlong leadership development opportunities for Wimmera-southern Mallee business and community representatives. Leadership Wimmera offers oth-

er skill development programs on a needs basis throughout the year and has called for applications for revamped courses next year. Mr Davidson said he hoped the children who participated in the Life with Skills project would be able to use what they had learnt when they were older. “We are hoping the students learnt some life skills, in a fun and engaging way,” he said. “We also hope to bridge the gap between police and young kids, creating a better bond within the community and showing that po-

lice are people who want to help. Hopefully, the event might inspire someone to become a police officer, join the Country Fire Authority, pursue a career in nursing or become a paramedic.” Mr Davidson said he hoped in the future more businesses would get involved with leadership programs. “Businesses should be encouraging staff to participate in these programs,” he said. “It will only help those people grow as a leader, as a team player and as a community member.”

Money allocated Fifteen Hindmarsh Shire Council groups and organisations have shared in almost $14,000 under the first round of the municipality’s Community Action Grants program for the 2021-22 financial year. Mayor Melanie Albrecht said the program now consisted of three categories, small equipment grants of up to $1000; events, offering groups up to $500 to run community events; and community assistance, offering up to $1000 for needs not covered in the first two categories.

Major accolades for Wimmera film A

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

major Australian motion picture filmed in the Wimmera has won national recognition at a prestigious ceremony in Sydney.

The Dry picked up four AACTA – Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts – awards at the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday last week. Based on Jane Harper’s best-selling, critically acclaimed crime thriller by the same name, The Dry was filmed in the Wimmera-southern Mallee in 2019. It was also a box office success after opening nationally on January 1 this year, with its popularity evident at the awards ceremony. The film won two audience choice awards, including ‘favourite film’ and ‘favourite actor’ for star Eric Bana. The Dry also won two film accolades, with director Robert Connelly and Harry Cripps recognised for ‘best adapted screenplay in film’ and Stefan Duscio triumphing in the ‘best cinematography in film’ category. The Dry was nominated for several awards on the night, including ‘best film’. That honour went to Nitram, a film depicting the lead-up to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania. Nitram cleaned up at the ceremony, collecting eight awards including the ‘big ones’. Bana and Connolly were among cast and crew who relocated to Warracknabeal in early 2019 to film The Dry. Bana told The Weekly Advertiser in December last year that he loved the ‘beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the landscape’ along with the region’s silo art.

“When you stay there and see all that it has to offer, that’s when you fall in love with the place,” he said. “It really got under our skin and we’ve been talking about it ever since.” Bana plays Federal Agent Aaron Falk, who returns home after an absence of more than 20 years to attend the funeral of his childhood friend, who allegedly murdered his wife and child before taking his own life. Falk opens up an old wound – the decades-old, unsolved death of a teenage girl. Many parts of the region, including Beulah, Minyip and Hopetoun, were used to create the fictional Kiewarra, which Bana said was an important aspect of the film. “Basing ourselves in Warracknabeal and having access to all the satellite towns enabled us to create a Kiewarra out of all the best elements from the region, and that is essentially a character in the film,” he said. “We wanted it to be a part of regional Victoria that regional Victorians would identify with, not some sort of mystical made-up thing that doesn’t really resonate.” Bana and Connolly returned to the Wimmera in December last year to premiere The Dry at Horsham Centre Cinema. While world premieres are usually reserved for capital cities, the pair – who also helped produce the film – was determined to screen the movie in the Wimmera’s capital as a thank you to the many regional people involved. Bana said at the time he would return to film in the Wimmera ‘in a heartbeat’ provided he found the right project.

STRIKING RED ‘HORIZONS’ ON SHOW AT GALLERY A pottery exhibition featuring unique and striking copper red and blended glazes inspired by the local Ararat and Grampians landscape is now open at Ararat Gallery TAMA. Ararat-based potter John Eagle was invited by Ararat Gallery to present his pottery installation Horizons, the culmination of 10 years of refining a palette of glazes to represent the rugged, weathered landscape of the Grampians and the impact of bushfires in the region. Ararat Rural City Mayor Jo Armstrong said the exhibition reveals the Gallery’s longstanding relationship with our cultural history and surroundings.

Mount Langi Ghiran, Mount Cole, and the Grampians National Park. John Eagle is renowned for his contribution to ceramics in Victorian, particularly in functional pottery. A graduate of RMIT, Eagle has worked with clay for over 40 years to develop his signature range of glazes, innovating groundbreaking techniques that give the impression of a moving fluid surface. His prize-winning ceramics often feature a striking copper red glaze, which remains a signature aspect of his work to this day.

“John Eagle’s association with Ararat began following his artist residency at Marian College in 2004, which evolved into a dedicated teaching career with the school and the wider community,” Cr Armstrong said. “We’re privileged to have an exhibition that brings visitors along a fascinating journey inspired by the natural rural landscape.” Visitors will find vibrant pottery on display made by Eagle including bottles, vases, cups, plates and dishes that demonstrate pouring and spray glazing techniques he developed from a major body of work commissioned from an international collector. This exhibition features around 100 richly glazed ceramics that represent the landscape around Ararat, including

CREATING A STRONGER FOUNDATION FOR CHATSWORTH LAKE BOLAC ROAD Work is nearly complete on the upgrade to Chatsworth Lake Bolac Road, with line markings to being laid on the road surface shortly The project involves reconstructing a 1475 metre section of the road starting 100m northeast of Karmala Lane and ending at the narrow seal on Chatsworth Lake Bolac Road. Chatsworth Lake Bolac Road is an important local road and paramount to the movement of critical product from the region. The road is a popular route for the community, being a key linkage road to Mortlake-Ararat Road. The existing road is failing with deep ruts and heavy vehicle use puts the road under further strain. Crews treated areas of soft ground with cement and lime stabilisation. This upgraded section will improve safety for all road uses by accommodating heavy vehicles through installing culverts with end walls, drainage improvements, and stabilisation works to create a stronger foundation. The project will deliver a consistent sealed road for all-weather access to support farmers and residents in the area to improve the safety and travel time reliability of the road to support our vital industries. The work is being carried out by BildGroup with Ararat Rural City Council managing the project. The $836,000 project is also jointly funded by the Australia Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Fund Program and Ararat Rural City Council.

Council facilities and services All council-run services and facilities will operate as usual through the holiday period and only closed on public holidays. This includes Ararat Fitness Centre, Ararat Gallery TAMA, Works Depot, Transfer Stations, Ararat Library, Maternal and Child Health, and Home and Community Care/Meals.

Exporter hub shift on track

he latest stage of Johnson Asahi’s operations shift from Horsham to nearby Dooen is on schedule to be complete by September 2022.

The hay-exporting firm, which has already established storage sheds at Dooen’s Wimmera Agriculture and Logistics Hub, has started earthworks at the site for a new production facility. The new facility will house an export-hay-processing machine and new office with plans for the project to be ready for the 2022 hay-processing season. Johnson Asahi is shifting operations from Golf Course Road in Horsham to the logistics hub to increase opportunities to buy more hay and straw from the region and increase its international sales. The site provides readily accessible intermodal rail and road logistic services to transport products from the region. The firm has scheduled 2024 to complete its final relocation stage from Horsham to Dooen. Johnson Group general manager Andrew Hayward said the company would keep the Horsham plant running until the time came to decommission and relocate. “With the new plant and relocation of two other existing plants from Horsham, this should be great news for local growers and agricultural-support industries for the future,” he said. “We aim to produce 200,000 metric tonnes per year from the site. “We expect direct jobs will increase by about 20 full-time-equivalent and of course it will have a multiplier

MOVE PROGRESSES: Horsham Johnson Asahi staff, from left, Alex Sasuman, Sam Fechner, Jayson Agustin, Jane Wollermann, Colin Flack, Amanda Krause and manager Tony Huebner. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER effect for indirect jobs throughout the region. “We have started recruitment for new roles within the company and this will ramp up in the first half of 2022. “If anyone is interested in discussing employment prospects involving loader driving, production, or if you have trade qualifications, we welcome your CV or phone calls now.” Mr Hayward said industrial-building experts Ahrens Group was handling construction. “We have been working with Ahrens for many years in South Australia and this project was a great way for us to consolidate interstate with a wellestablished partner,” he said. “Local company Horsham Steel con-

structed our storage sheds a few years ago and did a great job of them also. “We will use local suppliers as much as possible during the construction phase or the ongoing support of the facility.” Mr Hayward said Johnson Asahi thanked the State Government and Regional Development Victoria for their support. Project construction of the latest stage started in October. Johnson Asahi formed in 1995 as part of a joint venture between fourth-generation Australian family business Johnson and Son and Japanese company Asahi Industries. It has more than 25 years of experience in exporting oaten hay from

Victoria to Japan and South East Asia. Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria Danielle Green visited Johnson Asahi’s Dooen site last week. The State Government has supported the relocation project through its Regional Jobs Fund. “The Wimmera is essential to hay production – that’s why we are backing projects that give local producers the confidence to grow and create more jobs for the region,” Ms Green said. “I am so excited to see Johnson Asahi’s new hay-processing facility deliver new jobs in Victoria – it will be a gamechanger for the region, helping make it a better place to live, work and invest.”

Survey for St Arnaud St Arnaud community has an invitation to participate in a tourism survey as part of Northern Grampians Shire Council’s St Arnaud Tourism Action Plan. The survey is designed to identify community vision and aspirations for tourism for the next five years. The survey is available online at www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/StArnaud Tourism and paper copies are available from the council’s St Arnaud customer service centre or library. It will close on January 10. The council has appointed tourism business-mentoring specialist DTM Tourism to lead the engagement process. The firm has already started polling tourism-industry stakeholders and visited tourism assets. The survey is the next step in a community engagement process. The community identified a need for an action plan in a St Arnaud Community Plan 2020-30, driven by an economic development strategy and action plan and council vision. Northern Grampians mayor Tony Driscoll encouraged St Arnaud district community to participate in the engagement process. “As a St Arnaud-based councillor, I know how passionate this community is about their town and I anticipate many residents will want to have their say in this survey,” he said. “When complete, we hope this process will meld the views of St Arnaud business operators and the community and put everyone on the one path to building a strong and competitive visitor offering and burgeoning tourist economy.”

Mr Foley made the rare trip to the Wimmera’s far west to celebrate completion of Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital’s Lakeside Living at Edenhope. The project has included development of 18 high-care residential aged-care beds, complete with ensuites, around a central courtyard and landscaped gardens next to a low-care facility at the hospital. Based on best practice principles for dementia-specific care, the new unit is designed to provide a safe, home-like environment adaptable to individual residents’ needs. Upgrades have also included refurbishments to common areas, kitchen and activity spaces where residents participate in an active-lifestyle program and socialise with friends, family and the community. The hospital led the development in partnership with Victorian Health Building Authority, with funding through the State Government’s $490-million Regional Health Infrastructure Fund, RHIF. Edenhope hospital lead executive Andrew Saunders said it was wonderful to welcome Mr Foley to Edenhope for the official opening. “We would also acknowledge the generous bequest from the Peter Carracher estate. Peter, a former Minimay farmer, left more than $2-mil-

lion dollars, which contributed to building of this world-class facility,” he said. “We are extremely grateful to Peter and his family. “In honour of his generosity we have named the new building of Lakeside Living the Peter Carracher wing. “We also thank the previous board members for their vision and commitment to see this project through.” Benefits of the new centre include: Elimination of a transfer of residents between low-care and high-care facilities as their needs change; significantly better quality of care for residents; guarantees that staff can provide care for residents that ensures the maintenance of privacy and dignity; enhancing attraction to families looking for residential care for their loved ones; improving privacy by eliminating four-bed wards; private bathrooms for all residents; and more manageable infection control. Mr Foley visited several regional health-service providers during his tour. He said on the Edenhope project: “Incorporating dementia-friendly design such as shared social spaces and a central courtyard will mean residents and their families can create a strong sense of community.” The government established the RHIF in 2016 to help regional and rural health services improve the safety and quality of services, service capacity, models of care, patient and staff amenity and service efficiency.

Longerenong College hits new highs L

BY NICK RIDLEY

ongerenong College’s latest enrolment figures are the highest they have been in 50 years, with the school set to welcome about 120 new students next year.

The figures reflect consistent annual growth in college enrolments during the past 15 years. College business development officer Donna Winfield said the increased numbers possibly represented people wanting a new career path because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a general growing interest in agriculture. Ms Winfield said the increased en-

rolments had caused issues for the college finding students on-campus accommodation. “Agriculture is an amazing industry to be involved in right now,” she said. “The enrolment means we will be employing more lecturers and staff.” Ms Winfield said agriculture was one the most rapidly changing industries in Australia and the college was thrilled to be involved. “For the past few years 100 percent of our students have received employment,” she said. “Agriculture is moving forward, and digital agriculture is important. “At our data farm we are exploring a variety of digital applications, such

The apprenticeship-traineeship program also provides students who are in years 10, 11 and 12 at school a chance to learn about farming. Ms Winfield said throughout the COVID-19 pandemic the college put courses online and had small, contained classes. “We had to go online, and some students were able to create ‘bubbles’,” she said. Ms Winfield said college leaders were always looking to the future and more planning to increase the size of the institution.

Historic weapon gifted to RSL Horsham RSL will display a new item of military memorabilia following a donation by Natimuk police officer Peter Mellington. Leading Senior Constable Mellington recognised the significance of a cadet rifle, seized by police near Natimuk, and applied to the court for permission to donate it. “This particular firearm was seized in relation to firearm offences,” he said. “It is a really old firearm, what they call a cadet rifle. It’s a single shot and was used in cadet training.” Leading Snr Const Mellington said when police officers applied for a forfeiture and disposal order, they usually asked for the firearm in question to be destroyed. “In the case of something like this, I made a couple of inquiries. I spoke to Ray Harris and asked him if it was something the RSL would be interested in, although I couldn’t guarantee it would happen,” he said. “The magistrate saw fit for it to end up at the RSL. It’s been made inoperable and will now be on display how the RSL sees fit.” Horsham RSL committee member Ray Harris said the Francotte Martini rifle was significant in

She said with the influx of domestic students there was also scope for a return of international students when the threat of COVID-19 had passed. “There is certainly potential for people from overseas to come here and study,” she said. Longerenong College, which includes a fully automated farm at Dooen north of Horsham, has been teaching agricultural studies since 1889, when it started with 20 students. The college offers courses in shearing, Certificate IV in Agriculture and a Diploma of Agronomy. It also provides apprenticeship and

Australia’s military history, used to train Australian and New Zealand military forces early in the 20th century. Mr Harris dated the rifle at pre-1900, however he said he would need to do more research to determine where it came from. “It’s a weapon we don’t have and given its time, we will be displaying it,” he said. “We’ll be issued with a registration number which will be attached and we will display it after that.” Leading Snr Const Mellington said a national firearm amnesty, designed to reduce the number of unregistered firearms and improve public safety, was ongoing. He said people could visit website crimestoppers. com.au/FirearmAmnesty for more information. “Victoria Police are always on the lookout for firearm offences and we take it very seriously,” he said. “This gun in question was unregistered, came in from interstate and was all done illegally. “People are still allowed to have firearms but everything has to be done correctly. If it’s found it’s not right, then we will take action.” – Sarah Matthews

Stawell corridor project official A

Stawell development project designed to address a severe housing shortage and leverage private investment has officially opened.

State Government Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria Danielle Green attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Sloane Street for the ‘growth corridor’ project. The State Government provided $500,000 towards infrastructure for Sloane Street to enable housing development to occur in the area. The council matched the State Government investment and put $500,000 towards the corridor development. The funding covers water and sewer infrastructure; footpaths and a pedestrian crossing; street lighting; drainage, road and kerb works; electrical-service connection; and a pump station. The council anticipates the infrastructure could lead to construction of more than 100 dwellings and residential development and demand for goods and services to generate $49-million within the first five years of the corridor opening. Northern Grampians mayor Tony Driscoll said the opening was a ‘momentous’ occasion for the shire. “Thank you to the State Government for its generous assistance financing this much-needed infrastructure,” he said. “It is well known across the Wimmera that housing of any kind is in extremely short supply and our council, along with many others in the region, is working really hard to address this issue. “Our economy is recovering rapidly and we have so many work opportunities in the shire, but first and foremost we have to ensure our residents have ample and suitable living options.”

North Park

Ms Green, also Parliamentary Secretary for Sport, used her visit to Stawell to inspect North Park Sporting Precinct, also the subject of $2.15-million redevelopment works. She met with stakeholders and saw first-hand work on netball courts at the site. The government is contributing $1.85-million to the project through its Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program, with the council providing $300,000. The redevelopment is the result of a 2011 masterplan and 2018 Northern Grampians Shire Council netball strategy. Works started in August this year, with the removal of former netball courts at the Lamont Street end of the North Park precinct. In latest work, project contractor Fieldform has been screw piling and trenching. Plumbing and electrical works will follow. When complete the project will provide the netball community with three reinforced concrete netball courts; lighting at 100 lux; 1.5-metre-wide pathways interconnecting spectator walkways with wheelchair-standing areas; two shelters with seating; and fencing. Cr Driscoll said the previous playing surface had reached a critical point where only a complete court replacement would resolve the surface defects and other concerns. “Wider footpaths and areas that make room for wheelchairs and prams is a much-appreciated step forward in accessibility for spectators and players,” he said. “Netball is an integral part of community sport with a large following in our shire. The local community is very excited by this redevelopment and I know Swifts cannot wait to debut on these courts next season.”

Manufacturing pledge for region I

dentification of manufacturing as a potential regional growth industry in an emerging renewable-energy society is the subject of a major Victorian Coalition plan.

Victorian Opposition leaders Matthew Guy and Peter Walsh have announced details of a $1billion regional economic stimulus package they will introduce if elected to government next year. They outlined details, which would come under a broader $2.5-billion Rebuilding Jobs, Bringing Manufacturing Home program, during a visit to Shepparton manufacturer MedCon. The announcement comes at a time when development agencies and municipalities across the Wimmera are exploring ‘behind-the-metre’ industrial opportunities. The term ‘behind the metre’ refers to tapping into power generated and-or stored on site from a renewable-energy farm generator, system or process before it goes into a statewide or national grid. Renewable-energy research has long established parts of the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District as ideal sites for wind, solar and biofuel farming. Ararat development involving a Grampians Gas project that proposes to use agricultural hay and straw to generate energy and carbon-based products, is a prime example of concepts that include behind-the-metre planning. Plans are to establish an industrial estate based on a bioplant in Ararat where energy-hungry businesses can tap into power at the source of its generation. Industry investment into the scheme would then fuel socio-economic development. The potential of exploiting similar scenarios based on wind and solar farms in the region that also connect to the grid forms part of an argument in a push for a Western Victorian Transmission Line Project.

“Victoria’s largest ever investment in manufacturing will mean not just jobs but careers for local communities desperate to rebuild and recover” – Matthew Guy

Mr Guy and Mr Walsh said a Liberals-Nationals government would prioritise regional Victoria becoming the state’s ‘manufacturing powerhouse with new career paths for young people and opportunities for businesses and investment’. They said the Coalition program would focus on key areas of competitive advantage including; health care, food, fibre and beverages, rare earth and mineral processing and support short-term expansion and long-term development opportunities. They also added that it would support businesses to expand or replace imports with manufacturing operations to be located in regional communities, in turn driving new career opportunities in secure, long-term employment. “Victoria’s largest ever investment in manufacturing will mean not just jobs but careers for local communities desperate to rebuild and recover,” Mr Guy said. “Local careers underpin local communities and we will deliver better choices and more confidence for regional workers and businesses.” Mr Walsh: “Victoria has a real opportunity to create thousands of new jobs and attract millions of dollars of investment, while regenerating our own capability to produce critical supplies that we’ve otherwise lost to overseas. “Victoria used to be the manufacturing heart of Australia. A Liberals and Nationals government will bring manufacturing home to Victoria – where it belongs.”

Health group joins alliance N

ewly formed Grampians Health has joined Women’s Health Grampians to sign a commitment to Communities of Respect and Equality Alliance, CoRE.

The CoRE alliance is a partnership involving 124 organisations, businesses, clubs and groups who share a vision for safe, equal and respectful communities in a Grampians administrative region. In 2021, Women’s Health Grampians drafted a new CoRE Strategy for 2021-25, outlining the action needed to drive cultural change and reduce violence against women. Grampians Health interim chief executive Dale Fraser said signing the CoRE agreement was an important part of the health service’s commitment to providing greater access to more inclusive and safe care for vulnerable and diverse community groups. “It is fitting that we sign this agreement, as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence,” he said. “As a Grampians-based health service provider, and with a workforce of about 80 percent women, we will use our role to drive cultural change. “In all aspects of our work we will take a stand for gender equality and work to create a safe community for all. “The signing is just one step in our

Ararat spreading Christmas cheer Ararat Rural City Council officially marked the start of the festive season across the municipality with the lighting of its community Christmas trees. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said in the lead-up to Christmas, having decorations displayed helped the community get into the festive spirit. “The council’s tradition of lighting the big Christmas tree in Ararat marks the time of year our region comes alive with the Christmas spirit,” he said. “Our townships including Pomonal, Lake Bolac and Willaura received their own three-metre-tall solar-powered Christmas tree this week too.” Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said residents might have noticed festive decorations going up across the municipality. “You truly feel the holiday spirit when you walk down the street and see Christmas decorations put up by local businesses and our community,” she said. “Barkly Street in Ararat has been decked out with red and silver tinsel and banner flags, brightening up the retail precinct. “I encourage those visiting Ararat to dine at our eateries and support local retailers with their Christmas shopping. “It hasn’t been an easy year – our community has overcome many challenges, but we still need to work together to support local businesses and welcome visitors back to the region. “Because of your effort to protect those around you, it is now time for us to enjoy our summer and the festive season with family and friends. “I have full confidence that as a community, we will continue to recover from the pandemic, stronger together than ever.”

commitment – Grampians Health has made it a priority to create a diversity, inclusion and equity plan, which will put services and programs in place to address the specific needs of diverse and vulnerable groups in the Grampians region.”

Reassuring Women’s Health Grampians chief executive and CoRE chair Marianne Hendron welcomed the commitment of Grampians Health to the CoRE alliance. “Regional health organisations have been an integral part of the CoRE alliance,” she said. “After significant structural changes in regional-health delivery over the past year it is reassuring to see the Grampians Health leadership decisively committing to CoRE’s key vision: a safe, equal and respectful society for everyone, where women and their children live free from gender-based violence and every person is valued, heard, respected and empowered. “We are supporting health services across the region in implementing the Gender Equality Act and we look forward to sustaining and embedding that work through strong engagement in CoRE, further progressing their commitment to gender equality and the prevention of violence against women.”

Memorial Park Dr – Sitting on top of a rise looking out towards the setting sun is this Farming Zoned double block of vacant land. The property has vehicle access on 3 sides and is also well fenced on those 3 sides. Power and phone runs past the property and there is no sewerage in the town and water is via a town bore which would have to be connected.

Praise for Ararat is look ing for dance students ! s r o t u b i contr D ynamic Dance Ararat students celebrated successful examinations ahead of the school’s 13th annual concert.

Principal Laura Cameron said she was pleased to recognise the students’ efforts following another tough year for performing arts. “The exams were run at the Dynamic Dance Ararat studio in June this year and completed through AATBD, Australian Academy of Theatrical and Ballet Dancing,” she said. “Ms Deena Peacock travelled to examine the students and again, she did a wonderful job bringing out the best in them.” Ms Cameron said the awards presentation was postponed because of coronavirus restrictions. She said the presentation, in Ararat Town Hall, was a fitting addition to ‘concert week’. More than 70 students showcased routines featuring a range of styles based on the theme Art in Motion at the 13th annual concert, on December 3 and 4. Ms Cameron thanked teachers Charlotte Hamilton and Rachel Koenig for supporting and preparing students for their exams. “Also a special thanks to our dedicated assistant teachers Jac, Emma, Alicia, Imy and Jenae for always going the extra mile,” she said.

Awards

AATBD ballet exams: Pre-primary ballet, Sierra McDonald, Autumn Miller, Ava Rhodes, Savannah Rutter-Gill; prep 1 ballet, Milla Bulger, Sarah Coutts, Zoe Harman, Addison Hucker, Imogen Parsons, Jasmine Peters, Edna Wickham-Leersen; prep 2 ballet, Imogen Brandenburg, Olive Kerr, Ruby Law, Zahlia Phillips; prep 3 ballet, Roxy Gleeson, Mackenzie Johnson, Nevani Woods; prep 5 ballet, Jacqueline Grayling, Emma Lavery, Imy Pinniger, Sabaya Woods.

Joan Kroker of Horsham received an early 100th birthday present with Oscar Furniture reconditioning her favourite chair free of charge through Country Care. Oscar Furniture, quoting on repairing Mrs Kroker’s favourite chair, which she had bought from the Wimmera business about 20 years previously, decided to do the job at no cost as a gesture recognising her approaching milestone. Oscar Furniture’s Gavin Watson said Mrs Kroker, whose birthday is next year, was looking at a repair price of $384, but discussions

Mysteries of super S

uperannuation statements. Boring, right? But if, like many people, you toss your annual super statement in a drawer or hit delete, you could be depriving yourself of many thousands of dollars.

So, it is worth the small effort to take a closer look at your superannuation statement. A quick check might reveal some of the common problems that occur with super; and the sooner these are fixed the quicker your savings can increase.

What to look for

The layouts of statements vary between super funds, but there is standard information that must be provided. Some items might appear in summary form, with a detailed breakdown shown elsewhere. Key things to look for include: • Contributions or funds in. This will cover employer and personal contributions, government contributions and rebates, plus any rollovers. If you are an employee earning more than $450 a month, your employer should be paying 10 percent of your ordinary time earnings to your super fund. Payments can be made either quarterly or monthly. • Funds out. Most commonly this comprises administration and investment management fees and any insurance premiums. Excessive fees can place a real drag on the performance of your savings, so check that they are competitive with other funds. • Investment earnings. This covers interest and share dividends, along with any capital growth in the value of your investments. Be aware that depending on your specific investment mix and the performance of markets, this figure might sometimes be negative. • Insurance cover. Your super fund might provide death and-or disability insurance. If so, check that it is appropriate and adequate for your needs. Maybe you are paying for insurance cover you don’t need or are inadequately insured. • Investment options. This will show what your

in the office soon turned to providing the work as a goodwill gesture. “We didn’t know Joan nor members of her family, but we thought it was something we could do to honour someone who has lived a long time and who is in fact sitting in an Oscar chair,” Mr Watson said. “So here we are with a refurbished chair with a lovely 99-year-old woman who is ready to get a letter from the Queen.” Mrs Kroker said the gesture was ‘very special’. “It is very comfortable. It feels perfect,” she said.

money is invested in, and in many cases the performance of each investment. Your investment choices will be one of the main influences on the ultimate value of your retirement savings. Professional advice in this area is strongly recommended.

Other things to check

• Have you provided your tax file number? If not, the fund will be deducting too much tax from your contributions and earnings. • Have you made a binding death benefit nomination? This allows you to choose, within applicable rules, who your superannuation is paid to upon your death. • Is your name and address up to date? Is it possible you have ‘lost super’? This occurs when a super fund can no longer contact you. The Australian Tax Office can help you find lost super. Start here: ato.gov.au/forms/searchingfor-lost-super/. • More than one statement? Ideally, you should consolidate all your superannuation into one fund. This will avoid duplication of fees and insurance premiums and make your super much easier to manage.

Invaluable advice

Super is one area in life where professional advice can really pay off. If you need help with understanding investment options, consolidating multiple super funds, finding lost super, or ensuring you have the right insurance cover, talk to your financial adviser. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll be on track to growing your super pot of gold.

he region’s high percentage of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 has been a primary driver in determining the extent of how we have emerged from lockdowns and severe restrictions.

The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM congratulate people across the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District in their decisive action assessing whether vaccination was right for them. But we’re not out of the woods just yet and the threat from virus variants is ever present. Health advice remains consistent that high vaccination rates provide a broad protective foundation in winning this fight. We continue to urge people who are eligible, have weighed up or sought medical advice about individual risk factors and decided to get vaccinated to avoid any further delays in booking at the nearest vaccination clinic. And when eligible, don’t delay in getting a booster shot. 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 has strengthened a regional position as part of statewide management of the virus.

‘Big Dog’ brought to life GWM Haval launches new 4WD model

aval pulled the covers off its Dargo SUV at the Jeddah Motor Show in Saudi Arabia last week, and in doing so, the Chinese brand announced the global name of its H6-based newcomer.

large, squared-off grille, which lend the Dargo a retro look, while exaggerated wheel arch mouldings, practical side steps and substantial roof rails add to the model’s go-anywhere appeal. Great Wall Motors, GWM, said the Dargo name was based on the Chinese word for ‘big dog’. Fittingly for a four-wheel drive model, it also shares its names with an historic Australian pub that is the last stop for many four-wheel drivers as they head into the Victorian High Country. A GWM spokesperson said the Dargo looked very off-road focused.

The four-wheel drive model, which premiered as the Big Dog concept at the 2020 Chengdu Auto Show, showcases what its maker says is a ‘hardcore and stylish exterior’ and an interior that resembles past and present rivals, such as the Toyota FJ Cruiser, Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. The Haval’s front-end is distinguished by round headlights and a

They added the ‘three-quarter scale’ car – more commonly referred to as a C-segment SUV – combined the advantages of a city SUV with the capabilities of an off-road model. The firm said the Dargo would create a brand new category by combining a high seating position, wagonlike practicality and four-wheel drive all-terrain ability ‘for driving in the wild’. Lending support for the model’s availability in Australia, the GWM spokesperson said the Dargo would go on sale in Saudi Arabia in the ‘very near future’ before becoming available in Iraq, Chile, Russia and other

countries to accompany more users in the global market. GWM told GoAuto previously that the model could be in Australia by as early as next year. The Haval Big Dog has already amassed more than 100,000 sales in its home market and recently won the title of 2021 Most Popular SUV in the China Automotive Industry Customer Satisfaction Index. In its home market, the Big Dog is priced from A$26,425 and powered by a direct injection 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine developing 126kW and 285Nm. The engine is paired with a seven-

speed automatic dual-clutch transmission and is claimed to consume 6.9 litres per 100km on the combined cycle. There is no turbo-diesel option listed. There is also a four-wheel-drive version, powered by a 2.0-litre turbopetrol engine that develops 155kW325Nm and is mated with a seven-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission. The five-seat Dargo measures 4620mm in length, 1890mm in width, 1780mm in height and has a 2738mm wheelbase. By way of comparison, it is 262mm shorter, 4mm narrower and 48mm lower than the current Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. – Matt Brogan

Nissan: ICE utes to prevail

hen Nissan slipped the covers off an all-electric, allwheel drive utility vehicle last month as part of its Ambition 2030 plan, the natural reaction among many observers was to see it as a harbinger of things to come, a preview of what might eventually be the first pure-electric Navara.

However, Nissan Oceania managing director Adam Paterson, who oversees the Australian market, said it was highly unlikely that battery-powered utilities would be taking over from combustion-engined incumbents ‘any time soon’. “I still think, based on the specific demands of the segment, that combustion-engine powertrains will be the majority of the volume in the utility segment for the foreseeable future,” he said. “Having said that, this segment, just like the rest of the business, will electrify. It’s just the pace of that which I’m not certain on yet in this market.” Mr Paterson said the pace of electric vehicle uptake would hinge greatly on Australia’s national EV policy – or lack therof. “As a manufacturer, we would love to see and would appreciate a national framework that had incentive levels that are similar across the country,” he said.

“My experience most recently in Canada was that, at least for accessible EVS, not premium, the distribution of their sales volume was very reflective of incentivisation by the specific provinces or states.” Right now in Australia, the only national incentive that applies to EVs is an increased threshold for luxury car tax, LCT, for vehicles that consume less than 7.0 L-100km on average. For the current financial year, the fuel-efficient vehicle LCT threshold is $79,659, while all other vehicles have a threshold of $69,152. However, the more lenient LCT is

hardly exclusive to EVs, and is not something that benefits those shopping at the more mainstream end of the segment. “Incentives and a national EV framework really are going to help drive what manufacturers are able to start engineering to bring to this market,” Mr Paterson reiterated. Australian states and territories are rolling out various EV uptake incentives, but will policy changes matter to one of Australia’s biggest single vehicle segments – 4x4 light commercial utilities? Mr Paterson’s view is that the de-

mands of the majority of buyers in that segment – who greatly value long range, a rugged ladder-frame chassis, high towing-payload capacity and the ability to venture into remote areas – are at odds with the current limitations of most EVs. As such, it is going to take a lot longer for EVs to penetrate that particular market than the rest of Australia’s motor vehicle car parc. With vehicle charging infrastructure still far from widespread even in urban areas, and only present in regional areas mostly along major interstate routes, ute owners in regional Austral-

ia as well as long-distance recreational drivers will understandably have cold feet regarding putting their faith in a vehicle with very specific recharging requirements. While extending the range of a typical turbo-diesel HiLux, Navara or Ranger can be done by throwing a jerry can or two of extra fuel in the tub, it is not so easy to do the same with an electric equivalent. But while Nissan’s electric ute concept, dubbed the Nissan Surf-Out, is clearly a long-range look at what a battery-powered Navara might look like, there are already a significant number of EV pick-ups and utilities that are much closer to the showroom. Electric upstart Rivian is already bringing its R1T dual-cab to American customers, and a RHD derivative is likely headed our way too. US-specific full-size utes such as the Ford F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer Electric are also well on their way to the production line. If Tesla’s Cybertruck ever sees the light of day, it should also give buyers some diversity of choice – at least in North America. Chinese industry is also heavily invested in EV products and an electrified version of the GWM Ute has been identified as a model with a potential future in this country. – Tony O’Kane

Subaru WRX range imminent

government website has revealed that Subaru will offer its new WRX with the choice of manual or continuously variable transmissions, in five trim grades, and in sedan and Sportswagon body styles when it goes on sale next year.

APPROVED: Authorities have revealed CVT and manual WRX and Sportswagon variants will launch in Australia next year. and reductions in NVH. It will retain the model’s lauded symmetrical allwheel drive system as standard across the range. The new platform also gifts the new WRX with the latest safety technology. Along with seven airbags, the WRX will feature Subaru’s revised EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, including an expanded camera viewing angle, software improvements, and the addition of an electronic brake booster to ‘improve braking respon-

siveness and performance in panic stops’. The safety suite also includes an upgraded lane departure prevention system said to provide ‘smoother and more natural assistance’, advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centring technology, and automatic emergency steering that works in conjunction with the pre-collision braking system at speeds under 80kmh. Suspension duties are taken care of by a McPherson strut arrangement up

front, while the rear scores a more advanced double wishbone set-up with the physical suspension stroke being extended in all four corners to better deal with poor road surfaces. Subaru Australia general manager Blair Read said the WRX Sportswagon offered Australians an additional version of this performance machine, with enhanced practicality for everyday use. “The WRX Sportswagon will be a model in its own right, with both

Certification documents accessed via the Australian government’s infrastructure portal show approval has been granted to WRX, WRX RS, and WRX tS variants in both body configurations, a 202kW at 5600rpm and 375Nm from 2000-5200rpm, direct injected and turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine paired to a sixspeed manual or ‘eight step’ CVT; the latter standard issue on high-grade tS variants. Subaru says it has increased engine displacement and fitted the turbocharger with an electronically governed wastegate and air bypass valve to further improve responsiveness and acceleration of its prized performance model. An official 0-100kmh time is yet to be published, however based on the performance improvements shown, we expect a number within the high five-second range. Built on the new Subaru Global Platform, the new WRX offers increased safety, improved dynamics

the sedan and Sportswagon featuring unique specification tailored to their respective audiences. “We’re confident the all-new WRX and WRX Sportswagon will continue to build upon the performance model’s rich heritage as it ushers in a new era of style, technology, razor sharp handling and exhilaration.” While the finer specification and pricing details are yet to be confirmed, Subaru has confirmed LED headlights and an 11.6-inch infotainment system would be included on all variants, while bucket front seats are also set to be available, most likely in higherspec versions. The outgoing Subaru WRX sedan range sees the entry-grade variant priced from $40,990 with a six-speed manual transmission, the CVT attracting a $3000 premium. Premium variants are priced at $47,390 and $50,590 for 6MT and CVT versions respectively, while the STI range is pegged from $52,490 through to $62,440 for the EJ25 Final Edition. All prices are exclusive of on-road costs. The fifth generation WRX is slated to arrive in Australia towards the middle of next year, with Subaru Australia set to announce pricing and specification details of the range closer to the models’ local launch. – Matt Brogan

PICKERING, Neville Matthew “Choc”

DICKERSON, Perce

12.3.1944 - 2.12.2021 God saw that you were weary, The hill too steep to climb, He gently closed your tired eyes, and whispered “Peace be thine” You were always so thoughtful & kind, What wonderful memories you leave behind. I know you walk beside me, And when my life is through, I pray that God will take my hand, and lead me straight to you. We could not say our last farewells, Or even say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. If our love could have saved you, You never would have died. Loved & cherished husband of Lyn Dad /Pops, You gave so much all your life. You worked long and hard to support and protect your family. You loved, and were loved in return, gave and invested of yourself in others, and you will be missed incredibly by us all. We will always treasure our memories, and know that you are now resting in the arms of Jesus under His eternal and perfect love, protection and peace. ‘Till we meet again.’ Andrew & Sharon; Sarah, Jeremy, Lydia & Abigail; Rebekah, Alex, Lilly & Matthias; Rachel; Stephen; Esther & Micoy; Jason & Isaac. Dad /Pop We little knew that morning that God would call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Even though we had to let you go Dad/Pop, We will always hold onto the memories. Love Rohan, Kellie, Corey, Maggie & Brady You were our Father, Father in-law & Grandfather, We will always cherish the memories, In God’s care. The wool is still growing ... Love always Warwick, Gill, Louise (dec), Byron, Logan & Courtney. www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

They say that good things come in small packages. I have to agree, since I am one of these little people myself. I remember when I was young, that my mum lovingly sought help from a naturopath, and got herbal medicine to help me sprout. I didn’t mind being small, and even made up a quotable: “The advantage of being short is that you don’t have far to fall.” Let’s face it. When you’re that low to the ground, there is nothing to fear, and my record of no broken bones is testament to the theory. Do you sometimes feel small? We may feel small and worthless at times, but that is not how the King of the Universe sees you. Rejection, hurt, loneliness, and comparing ourselves with worldly values or others can mean that we don’t see ourself through God’s eyes, and we can begin to feel less valued. Jesus reassures us that those who are born of God are children of God. John shouts with tangible jubilation in the book of first John, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:5a). If that wasn’t enough, he draws breath and says it two more times! Dear friends, if ever you are in doubt of who you are, open the Bible and meditate on the truth of your royal inheritance, home and belonging. You are loved!

Grand finals to entertain V

BY DAVID BERRY

olleyball Horsham’s winter season grand finals are scheduled tonight with five matches sure to entertain.

In A Grade, Tim Popple’s Shados Inala takes on Jack Hannan’s Tsunami. Shados Inala scored a straight-sets win in its semi-final, while Tsunami had to dig deep to win its semi-final 16-14 in a deciding fifth set. The ledger stands at one each for the season, with Shados Inala a comprehensive winner in round three, while Tsunami turned the tables in round eight in a close game. The match will be decided on whose hitters can be the most influential. Shados Inala has Popple ably supported by Will Saligari. The two teenage middle attackers for Popple’s team, Clay Heard and Ryan Spruyt, will get good service from setter Hannah Whyte and key passers Ben Wilde and Mercedes Arnott. Hannan’s Tsunami will look to experienced middle Paddy Sherry supported by up-and-coming Rohan Sanders. Hannan will assume the pass-hitter role alongside Alex Baker, with the

ever-consistent Shaun Bray at opposite. Delaney Bray takes on the setter role while Emily Hannan will be the defensive specialist at libero. Shados Inala’s consistency is its trademark. On the other hand, Tsunami can be hot and cold making it tough to predict a winner. In other grand finals, an A Reserve match involves Von Steiger Shadows going head-to-head with Heidelberg Masters. The Shadows have had the wood on the Masters in both contests this season. In B Grade, Holy St Pats will battle Phantom Masters. Both teams enjoyed solid semi-final wins and are evenly matched. In C Grade, it will be an all-Murtoa affair with Bill Lindsay’s Murtoa Railway up against the young guns of Murtoa Lizards. A junior grand final will be between Von Steiger Kids and Murtoa Devils. Tonight’s draw: 5.30pm, juniors, Von Steiger Kids v Murtoa Devils; 6.30pm, A Grade, Shados Inala v Tsunami; C Grade, Murtoa Railway v Murtoa Lizards; 7.30pm, A Reserve, Von Steiger Shadows v Heidelberg Masters, B Grade, Holy St Pats v Phantom Masters.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Santa race day BY JOSH MILLER

t’s been a long time coming but patrons will again fill the lawns at Horsham racecourse on Sunday for the MIXX FM Santa Day races.

Clear skies and warm weather will greet racegoers for the annual summer event, which has attracted huge interest according to club manager Charmayne Parry. “Bookings are going really well. The umbrella packages are selling fast and we’ve got a host of Christmas parties coming,” she said. “There will be heaps for the kids to do too. Activities will be set up from noon and we’re expecting a visit from Santa during the day to throw out some lollies.” Family fashions on the field will also make its return to a day that Ms Parry said the club was ‘just hoping for a big party’. And party they might – musical offerings from renowned performer Ryan Bell and Horsham treasure Dave McMaster will ensure a party atmosphere throughout the day. Those looking to try their luck can enter the punters’ club for $10 a ticket.

On the track, we can look forward to more competitive racing at one of the state’s trickier circuits. With its short straight and tight turns, local knowledge goes a long way and horses trained at the track can prove very hard to beat. The racing surface is looking as good as it’s ever been – and while at first glance Sunday’s program doesn’t appear the strongest, it might pay to follow the form out of the day. The corresponding meeting last year produced 26 runners that have since progressed on to a winner’s stall; a remarkable number given just 72 runners are accepted for the meeting. More immediately, and more useful for this weekend, Horsham has been a happy hunting ground for punters, with favourites saluting in 13 of the 22 races at the track this year. Even better, they have won at an average starting price of $2.60, suggesting the bagmen might have a restless night’s sleep on Saturday if they plan on holding cash in the Wimmera the next day. Tickets are available for purchase online or at the gate.

Baker wins veterans stableford David Baker scored 42 stableford points to win the final Wimmera District Veterans Golf Association event for the year. Baker won at Stawell Golf Club from Mal Elliott, 38. Ron Dodds won B Grade with 39 and C Grade went to Bill Hutchinson, 41, from Wes Nalder, 38, on countback. Other results: Nearest the flag after second

shot on third hole, Jeff Savage, on 10th hole, Lyle McInerney; longest drive, A Grade, Bob Hayes, B Grade, Tony Kernick. Nearest the pins: Sixth, Alan Grant; ninth, Bob Dalgleish; 13th, Rob Norton; 17th, Barry Lawes. Wimmera veterans will return next year at Warracknabeal on February 7.

Umpires wrap up season Highlights of a Wimmera Mallee Umpires presentation dinner in Horsham included personalised video messages from ground-breaking female umpires Eleni Glouftsis and Chelsea Roffey. Glouftsis was the AFL’s first female field umpire and Roffey the first female grand-final goal umpire. The presentation also celebrated the conclusion of the 2021 season and post-pandemic ‘relaunch’. The high-profile female umpires kicked off the 2021 relaunch at the beginning of the season, attending training and visiting schools. They personally congratulated umpires who reached milestones this season – Roger Hastings, 1000 games, Frank Marklew, 900, and Gus Schutz, 500. Officials also presented a signed and frame Eleni Glouftsis field shirt to the organisation during the night. AFL Wimmera Mallee manager Jason Muldoon also formally presented AFL Victoria’s Umpire Coach of the Year Award to the group’s umpiring director Cameron Pickering. Development coach Frank Marklew joined Mr Muldoon

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.

Demons enter regeneration phase BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ew Laharum Football Netball Club senior coach Glenn Doyle is looking to the club’s youth to help lay the foundations for the Demons’ next period of success.

Doyle said 10 players from last year’s under-17 team would enter the senior ranks full-time in 2022, as the club entered a ‘regeneration’ phase. “I’m looking forward to working with the young fellas from last year, who at times played multiple games of football and really helped carry the club,” he said. “They’re young men with good character looking to improve their football. It’s a great starting point and platform to build on.” Doyle said while last year’s senior experience was already a bonus, the players would now benefit from an opportunity to fully focus on one game rather than two. The Demons struggled for numbers in the 2021 Horsham District Football Netball League season, with the seniors finishing in 10th spot. With under-17s moving up, several players returning to the club, a couple of new recruits, retaining most of last year’s list and a few other ‘irons in the fire’, Doyle said he was looking forward to the boost in numbers and associated pressure for positions.

YOUNG GUNS: Laharum footballers, from left, Oliver Sykes, Hugo Chincarini, Jim McInnes, Connor Walsh, Thomas Doyle and Jordan Matuschka are preparing for the 2022 Horsham District Football Netball League season. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

He said he was under no illusions that the year was going to be challenging, including working to attract more juniors to fill vacancies. Ruckman Oliver Sykes is among players moving up. “I expect he will play multiple positions, including a key position, in the ruck and a running role,” Doyle said. “Jim McInnes was the leader of the under-17s last year and will help set the standard, while Jordy Matuschka is a midfielder who will add depth, leg

speed and hopefully some finishing skills. “Hugo Chincarini is a good-sized player who has been playing a lot of his football down back and will play more positions next year.” Cody Cross, Bronson Launder, Rohan Sanders, Jake White and John Watts will also step up from under-17s. “We also have Pat Lattanzio, who didn’t play last year after doing a full pre-season, who will either play out

of the square or running through the middle,” Doyle said. The club has welcomed Connor Walsh, who has made the move from Birchip-Watchem in North Central league. “Connor has played at Birchip for the past six years. He’s at peak age, in his mid to late 20s and he’ll provide some structure to the midfield,” Doyle said. “He’s got a point to prove and is keen to work hard and show lead-

ership in the group.” The Demons will also welcome past players Dylan Cross and Joel Pymer back to the fold. “Dylan is a tough, hard-at-it halfback player who can also run through the middle and Joel will add some versatility to the team and maybe some finishing opportunities,” Doyle said. Doyle’s son Thomas will also play senior football at Laharum in 2022. “He’s been playing juniors at Rokewood and is a good team-oriented player,” Doyle said. He said the ‘recruits’ would be well supported by experienced players remaining at the club, including outgoing coach Shannon Argall, Jarrod Kemp, Brett Ervin and Hamish Roberts. The Demons will be without 2021 best and fairest winner Tom Crawford, who is moving away. Pre-season starts on January 5 and will include three sessions a week. There will also be a camp in late January and several practice matches ahead of a round one clash against Swifts on April 9. Doyle said he wanted players to enjoy their football, along with working hard, which would bring success. He said it was exciting for the club to have some depth after a difficult couple of years. “We can see light at the end of the tunnel and some good times to come,” he said.

Pennant top order locked in C

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

entral Wimmera Tennis Association teams will meet for the final time ahead of a Christmas-new year break on Saturday, with little change among ladder positions predicted.

Horsham Lawn and St Michaels are on 20 points apiece after six rounds, with both enjoying four-set wins at the weekend. Despite the set margin, only 11 games separated Lawn from Kalkee, with several close sets throughout the afternoon. Jeff Friberg and Anna Exell enjoyed convincing singles wins for the Kees, with Exell also enjoying victories with team-mates Paula Weidermann and Melissa Beddison. The remaining sets went Lawn’s way, with young number-one woman Tahlia Thompson getting the better of Weidermann 8-6. Thompson is settling in well to her role as the top seed and is enjoying a strong partnership with Cherie Wood. Patrick Hall had an outstanding day for the winners, winning all three of his rubbers, including two sets 8-1. Lawn will travel across town to take on Central Park this week, while Kalkee will host Drung South Orange. Drung South Orange had a tough afternoon on the court against clubmate Drung South Purple on Saturday. Purple claimed each set on offer, tri-

Orange was undermanned, with Connor Chivell – on a day clearance from Homers – filling in for number-one man Logan Casey, who was playing at a tournament in Bendigo. Jacqui Hopper also filled in, also on

day clearance from Homers. Chivell and Mathew Hill put up a good fight against Dylan Emmerson and Aaron Jennings, going down by two games 6-8, with team-mate Andrea Cameron enjoying a close encounter with Pur-

ple’s Kirby Knight, also falling short by two games. Drung South Purple will host St Michaels in round seven. The Saints defeated Central Park 8-77 to 4-68, with many rubbers hotly contested. Steffi McDonald, again playing as number-one man, enjoyed a singles win over Matt Jones, who is performing well at pennant level after stepping up from A Special. Peter Hayes returned for the Saints, winning all three encounters, including an 8-6 singles victory over Brendan Nitschke. The majority of Central Park’s sets were courtesy of singles wins, with Reece Harman, Cara Tippet and Deb Nitschke all getting the better of their opponents. A Special featured a couple of close encounters at the weekend, with Telangatuk East defeating Drung South on games, 7-88 to 7-81, and Brimpaen making the most of its first outing on its new courts to defeat Natimuk, 8-89 to 6-76. Pennant results: Horsham Lawn 8-73 d Kalkee 4-62, Drung South Purple 12-96 d Drung South Orange 0-40, St Michaels 8-77 d Central Park 4-68. Ladder: Horsham Lawn 20 points, St Michaels 20, Kalkee 16, Drung South Purple 12, Drung South Orange 4, Central Park 0.

Thrilling results BY JOEL FREELAND

tawell Tennis Club’s Mitre 10 Friday Night Competition continues to throw up some thrilling results, as former club champions and new players alike graced the courts on a balmy evening at the North Park complex.

Multiple-time club championship winner Shane Freeland made a cameo appearance, filling in for his brother in the A1 Men’s division, winning one set along the way, when he combined with the weekly winner, wily veteran Howard Dunn, who continues to defy his age with his agility around the court. The A2 men’s was taken out by Scott Bohner, who has been methodically dismantling his opposition thus far, steadily regaining his touch from yesteryear, and has now earnt a crack at the A1s. The A Grade ladies saw the same name up in lights, as Amy Millar again outshone the youngsters, however it wasn’t all smooth sailing, with Holly Graveson and Molly Orr taking it right up to the top seed. The B Grade Ladies saw the first appearance of Leesa Drum under the Friday night lights, and

she didn’t disappoint, comfortably accounting for her opposition with three big victories, 8-2, 8-4 and 8-5, to be seven games clear of her nearest rival. The B2 Men’s was a hotly contested affair, with only two games separating three players, but it would be young gun Jonah O’Shannessy who would get the nod to progress next week. Evert Grobbelaar was at the top of the pops in the B2 Men, proving too consistent for his challengers, coming away with a three-game victory. In C Grade, Luke Monaghan’s work in the gym is paying dividends as his heavy groundstrokes were too much for his older rivals to handle, taking care of business in the C1s, while Phil Hutton registered 8-1, 8-0 wins to open his account on the evening in the C2 Men, and never looked back, eventually walking away a five-game winner. In the C Ladies, Emily Davis and Sophie Hutton were unable to be separated, locked on 21 games apiece and three games clear of Naomi Hoffmann. Hutton has been a revelation this season, working her way up through the ranks. Lara Troeth used her powerful

shots to take the honours in the D Ladies. Despite Alana Graveson breathing down her neck all night, Troeth did enough to move on next week. Hard-hitting Henry Clough won a thrilling battle in the D1 Men’s, just holding out Hugh Carey and Ian Martin by the barest of margins and will relish the step up next week. Young left hander Jack Reading held on in the D2 Men’s despite a tough loss in the last set. Reading had done all the hard work earlier in the night to set up the win, holding off a rampaging Fraser Dunn by one solitary game. The E1 Men saw the two Hoffmann boys go toe to toe, with older brother Jack winning bragging rights, coming out on top of Archie by three games. Liam O’Shannessy was one of a handful of players to be unbeaten on the night, accounting for his opposition 8-4, 8-4, 8-3 in the E2 Men. Amara Jagan won the battle of the teenagers in the E Ladies, also going through unbeaten, to beat out Lexi Collins by three games. Jagan’s total score of 25 games was the competition’s highest on the night.

Success for Crabtree, Jackman

Liz Jackman, left, and June Crabtree

Horsham Golf Club members June Crabtree and Liz Jackman have finished second in a statewide Match Play Golf Challenge at Cape Schanck at the weekend. The pair lost the final on Sunday after a play-off on the 19th hole. Mrs Crabtree said the competition was a lot of fun. “We were the only females in the final fields in the fourball match play,” she said. “We won on Saturday and only lost the final, to a pair of really good golfers, after the 19th hole.”

Schram wins high gun Roy Schram collected high-gun honours with 67 at a Grampians Field and Game 75-target Christmas shoot. Andrew Cox won AA Grade with 65 from Nick Stebbing, 63, and Richard Emmerson, 54 The competition attracted 47 competitors who shot in ideal weather conditions.

First double-header at home BY SARAH MATTHEWS

fter several weeks of road trips and separate matches, Horsham Hornets’ men’s and women’s teams will enjoy their first double-header at home on Saturday night.

Both will take on Terang Tornadoes amid a busy night of festivities at Horsham Basketball Stadium. Along with on-court action, spectators can enjoy several presentations, including acknowledgement of Horsham Amateur Basketball Association’s latest life members. Association leaders will also retire Tim Pickert’s number-seven jersey and honour late members Gary Bird and Wally Wade for their contributions throughout many decades. Nicole ‘Herb’ Lakin will also receive a Basketball Victoria 35-year service award and Matt Lovel will be acknowledged for 150 games. Men’s coach Scott Benbow encouraged Wimmera people to ‘come down and support the boys and girls’. “We’re expecting a full house – the place will be buzzing,” he said. “Hopefully we will get a couple of wins as well.” The women’s match tips off at 5.30pm followed by the men’s at 8pm. Benbow believes his charges will match up well against the Tornadoes. “It’s obviously a bit of an unknown

at this stage but we will have most people available,” he said. “Matt Brown rolled his ankle on Saturday night and will be out for a couple of weeks, but we will have Sam Breuer back in the side. He was unavailable last week because he was training with the Adelaide Crows.” The Hornets had mixed results in round four, going down to Warrnambool on the road by a point on Saturday night before defeating Mt Gambier by 13 points at home on Sunday. “We fought hard on Saturday night but we had a bit of a lapse in the third quarter and were chasing our tails,” Benbow said. “We gave them a good scare though and I think we can get over the top of them if we meet them again.” Next gen players Freddy Frew and Mitch Amos enjoyed a bit of court time, as did development player Adam Schache. Frew scored his first senior points on Sunday, while Max Bryan was elevated to the starting five in the absence of Breuer and acquitted himself well. Mitch Martin and Matt Lovel topscored on Saturday night with 16 points apiece, followed by Cody Bryan, 15. Cody Bryan dropped a game-high 23 points against the Lakers on Sunday, with Martin chipping in 17 and Max Bryan, 12. The Mt Gambier game was delayed

CHARGE: Cody Bryan dropped a game-high 23 points for the Hornets against the Lakers on Sunday. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER by a couple of hours due to a wait at the South Australian-Victorian border. The Hornets will travel to Mt Gambier on Sunday to face the Lakers again. “We’ve had to do border-crossing passes and apply for exemptions for quarantine, which have started coming through,” Benbow said. “Hopefully we won’t have the same issues they did.” The Lady Hornets will also travel to Mt Gambier on Sunday, backing up their efforts on Saturday night. The Lady Hornets are coming off a tough encounter against the Mermaids in Warrnambool.

The Mermaids took a nine-point lead into the first break and although the Hornets outscored them in the second term by a point, they were unable to make up the deficit. Warrnambool won the match by 15 points, 69-54, to remain undefeated on top of the south-west conference ladder. Ema Iredell led the way for the Hornets with a 20-point performance, with Faith McKenzie, 12, the only other player to finish with double figures. The association has been live-streaming games with commentary on its Facebook page and will do so again this weekend.

Senior titles Sue Wooster and Kevin Naismith are the toast of Victorian Senior Amateur golf fraternity after winning championship titles in Horsham. The pair clinched victories in women’s and men’s sections from strong fields during three days of competition at Horsham Golf Club. Naismith, from Southern Golf Club, collected his first senior amateurs title after losing in a play-off in 2020. He shot rounds of 72, 74 and 72. The titles attracted 167 players from across Victoria and interstate. Naismith won from Greg Rhodes 74, 76, 76 and Geoff Walker, 72, 76, 78, who tied for second place. National Golf Club’s Wooster, who also claimed her inaugural title, won the women’s section by 10 shots after rounds of 74, 77 and 73. She won from Helen Pascoe who finished with 235. In the women’s overall nett, Horsham’s Sharon Howden won the section with nett scores of 72, 76 and 70. Wooster, 55-59, and Helen Pascoe, 65-69, were victorious in their respective age categories while Bridget Hill, 60-64, and June Tickell, 70 plus, were champions of their divisions. Glenn Crocker won the men’s overall nett with rounds of 73, 67 and 71. In the men’s age categories, Naismith was the victor in the 5559 years of age division and Greg Rhodes, 60-64, Gordon Claney, 6569, and Chris Tatt, 70 plus, won their respective divisions.

Warriors on hunt at season break W

BY DEAN LAWSON

est Wimmera will zero in on claiming the major scalp of Jung Tigers on Saturday in the final Horsham Cricket Association A Grade round before a Christmas-harvest break.

The Warriors needed to win last weekend and came up with the goods, outplaying Rupanyup-Minyip and scoring a comprehensive victory. They beat the Blue Panthers by more than 100 runs at Davis Park in Nhill and a home-ground advantage again this week might again prove significant. West Wimmera made 5-166, with Mitch Dahlenburg carrying his bat with an unbeaten 68, and then bowled out the visitors for 64, Bradley Alexander shining with 3-10. At the same time, Jung Tigers returned to the winners list after a strong performance against Homers at Horsham City Oval. The Tigers successfully defended an impressive 7-236 by bowling out the Pigeons for 180 in an entertaining game of flowing runs and falling wickets. Grant Connelly continued to put his mark on the competition for the winners with 65 and Levi Mock produced a whirlwind 64 in the lower order. Homers bowlers shared in the wicket spoils before opener Paddy Mills, 59, and Luke

Deutscher attempted to guide their team towards the target. But a winning score was always going to be hard to get and the Tigers, with skipper Angus Adams claiming 4-42 with his leg-spin, prevailed. The clash at Nhill should be a beauty with several players from both sides still searching for runs. Rupanyup-Minyip has a tough assignment of bouncing back against a Noradjuha-Toolondo team coming off a bye. Only a few of the Blue Panthers made serious impressions on the scorecard and they face a Bullants team that shapes as premiership favourite. Harvest tends to take a heavy toll on player availability and team fortunes at this time of the year and this season appears no exception. This week: Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants v Rupanyup-Minyip, West Wimmera v Jung Tigers at Nhill’s Davis Park, Homers, bye. Last week: Jung Tigers 7-236 (G. Connelly 65, L. Mock 64no, B. Hallam 46) d Homers 180 (P. Mills 59, L. Deutscher 33; A. Adams 4-42), West Wimmera 5-166 (M. Dahlenburg 68no, L. Albrecht 40no) d Rupanyup-Minyip 64 (B. Alexander 3-10). Ladder: Noradjuha-Toolondo 36 points, 1.72 percent; Jung Tigers 24, 1.16; Homers 18, 0.88; West Wimmera 15, 1.08; Rupanyup-Minyip 15, 0.54.

DESTROYER: Horsham Cricket Association all-rounder Matt Combe shows off his matchwinning style in a KFC Festival of Cricket inter-association match against Hamilton District. Combe followed up 4-39 in Hamilton’s innings of 191 with an unbeaten game-high 74 as Horsham passed the target only three wickets down. Others to shine in the victory were Mitch Dahlenburg, 54 not out, and Paddy Mills, 24. Anthony Close top-scored for the visitors with 46. Horsham also beat Hamilton Green in an over-40s clash at Coughlin Park in Horsham, bowling the visitors out for 49 after making 7-166. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Runs f lowing in Grampians T

BY ONE SHORT

he season’s first century, a run fest at Stawell’s Central Park and BuangorTatyoon continuing on its winning way were features of the latest round of Grampians Cricket Association. Youth Club’s Nic Baird provided the first century with an unbeaten 134 against Pomonal, producing a remarkable single-handed effort in his team’s score of 2-175. His knock of 134 at Pomonal included 11 fours and six sixes. In reply, Pomonal could manage only 90, with the best of the Clubbers’ bowlers Clinton Slorach, 3-4 from four overs, and Justin Keilar, 3-19. Action at Stawell’s Central Park, meanwhile, produced 459 runs for the loss of only 11 wickets in 80 overs. Halls Gap scored its best total for the season with 6-187 but was no match for Swifts-Great Western’s 5-272. The Combine batted first and the first four batsmen all scored 50-plus runs, with Jessie Eckel leading the charge with 82 and Sam Cocks, 59, Tom Eckel, 58, and Tom Hannett, on permit from Navarre, 50 not out, also contributing. Reece McIntosh took both of the Eckel wickets for 55 and young Brady McMahon took 2-2 at the finish. Prominent batsmen for the Gappers were Josef Martin, 60 not out, Jayde McMurtrie, 41, and Charlie McIntosh, 40. Jamie Bach, in his first game for the Combine, took 2-37. At Tatyoon, Buangor-Tatyoon could only come up with 10 players but that didn’t prevent them from scoring a convincing win over Chalambar. Batting first, the Hawks were all out for 154 with Riley Wood, 68, and James Phillips, 26, the primary run-makers. The pair featured in a 90-run first-wicket part-

nership, while Shaun Smith was Chalambar’s leading wicket taker with 3-22. Chalambar’s turn at the crease yielded only 40 runs with no batsman reaching double figures. Successful Hawks bowlers were James Phillips, 4-5, and Callum Baker, 3-9. This Saturday’s round is the last before the Christmas break. Matches are Buangor-Tatyoon against Pomonal at Tatyoon, Youth Club playing Swifts-Great Western at Stawell’s Central Park, and Chalambar taking on Halls Gap at Ararat’s Alexandra Oval. The key match-up is at Central Park where old rivals Youth Club and Swifts-Great Western will face off. If Baird can carry last Saturday’s form into this game, the Clubbers are in with a big chance. But the Combine has the depth to prevail. In the other two matches, both Chalambar and Pomonal will have to improve their batting if they are to force a win. Halls Gap would be heartened by its performance last round and likely to beat Chalambar, while the Tigers face the daunting task of the Hawks at home. This week: Buangor-Tatyoon v Pomonal, Youth Club v Swifts-Great Western, Chalambar v Halls Gap. Last week: Buangor-Tatyoon 9-154 (R. Wood, J. Phillips 26; S. Smith 3-22) d Chalambar 40 (J. Phillips 4-5, C. Baker 3-9), Youth Club 2-175 (N. Baird 134no, T. Homden 20) d Pomonal 90 (J. Keilar 3-19, C. Slorach 3-4), Swifts-Great Western 5-272 (J. Eckel 82, S. Cocks 59, T. Eckel 58, T. Hannett 50no) d Halls Gap 6-187 (J. Martin 60no, J. McMurtrie 41, C. McIntosh 40, R. Thomas 25). Ladder: Buangor-Tatyoon 33 points, 2.00 percent: Swifts-Great Western 24, 2.48; Youth Club 18, 1.47; Halls Gap 12, 0.64; Chalambar 6, 0.53; Pomonal 6, 0.28.
