Events stimulant G

BY DEAN LAWSON

rampians Tourism’s new chair David Jochinke has urged Wimmera people to take stock of a return to big weekend attractions across the region to reset their understanding of the value of event tourism.

Mr Jochinke said the success of a wealth of festivals and events from the Grampians to the southern Mallee during the Labour Day weekend illustrated the region’s community tourism appeal. He said the variety of attractions

were a lure to a broad cross-section of people, from outside as well as inside the region, and was ‘priceless’ from a socio-economic perspective. “I don’t think we realise just what it does when we showcase what our region has to offer,” he said. “We put on everything from dragracing, motocross and fishing to music, art and cultural festivals and machinery expos. It is fantastic that we can present such diversity.” Mr Jochinke, a Horsham district farmer and already a significant statewide Victorian Farmers Federation and community figure, has continued

his passion for regional development by stepping into the tourism board leadership role. He takes over from Ararat’s Paul Hooper. Mr Jochinke said he was absorbing the finer details of tourism in the greater Grampians region, but the value of community events and attractions had been obvious during the Labor Day weekend when thousands of people gathered in the region. “Last weekend represented the first real weekend to rekindle what the region offers as far as visitor events and activities go since coming out of the COVID-19 cloud,” he said.

“It helped showcase what we have and celebrate in the region and showed how determined and committed our communities are at presenting such events. “This is important on so many levels – sanity for a start – the ability to have something in our own back yard that people can attend with little cost and that organisers can scale up to their hearts’ desire is fantastic. “The amount of volunteer hours that go into these community events is something to behold and something for us to reflect on and celebrate how fortunate we are.”

Mr Jochinke said the message coming off the back of restrictions lifting was for the region to reinvest in itself and for communities to establish a vision ‘what they wanted to look like’. “It’s in our DNA to volunteer, put our hands up and have a go and not wait for external influences. It’s up to us. We’ve been good at it in the past so let’s keep going,” he said. “There is no cavalry coming to save us. We are the calvary, so let’s get on with it, dig deep and shake off what’s been a long, drawn-out and frustrating period and get on with living.” Continued page 3

Organisers eyeing future BY MICHAEL SCALZO

orsham Fishing Competition organisers are confident they have the right formula for event longevity as the 2022 competition wrapped up for the 45th time.

Committee president Bruce McInnes said consistent post-competition feedback, surveys and analysis from recent years informed the committee about the event’s trajectory and the committee tailored the competition accordingly. “The event went well and to plan and we had good numbers of fish caught,” he said. “We closely look at responses to surveys after each event and we always take that into account. “We have tailored changes to the competition based on these responses. We think we have it worked out. “We have seen a decline in competition registrations throughout the past decade, so we have become very versatile in adjusting to what we think people want from the event.” Mr McInnes said competition feedback suggested participants prioritised being with family and friends and spending the day down by the river more than the fishing. “This feedback has been fairly steady and this is what the majority take-away from the competition,” he said. “So, we have adjusted our prize pool to include a whole range of things – registration prizes, fishing prizes, carp cash prizes, for juniors and seniors to reflect this. The event isn’t just about catching fish. “I think we are finding out what people want and we are fine-tuning toward that. Most anglers have adjusted with us and we think it is fantastic.” The Weekly Advertiser 2022 competition attracted 1031 registered entrants who caught 602 registered fish. The haul included 375 carp, 129 yellowbelly, 60 catfish, 35 silver perch and three redfin. In the senior longest-fish categories; Gren House caught the longest yellowbelly at 54 centimetres; Joshua

Pridham won with a 47cm catfish and Trevor Johns caught the longest fish in the silver perch-redfin category with a 36cm redfin. In the junior longest-fish categories; Page Raeside caught the longest catfish at 48cm, Levi Beer won with a 44cm yellowbelly and Blake Garth’s 32cm redfin won the silver perchredfin category. In a twist in the senior registration prize draw, Chris Emmerson won first prize – the new Kia Stonic, however two separate people named Chris Emmerson, initially claimed the honours. Registration numbers identified Chris Emmerson from Ballarat the rightful winner. The winning Chris Emmerson said when he saw there were two people with the same name he assumed it was not him who was the lucky Chris. “I haven’t been to a fishing competition in a long time, but I think I might have to get to a few more of them now. I am pretty happy to win the car,” he said. In other prize categories; Peter Edge won Wimmera Catchment Manage-

ment Authority’s Cash for Carp category with a 71cm carp; Kayla McGregor and Chloe Smith won a TikTok competition and Michael Bourke won the photo competition. Mr McInnes said a large catch of native fish demonstrated the river remained healthy and praised the work of Wimmera Catchment Management Authority and Horsham council. “The catchment authority has done a lot in keeping the river static in the weeks leading up to the competition,” he said. “They stopped the catchment flows in late February, which the anglers prefer because it gives the river and fish time to settle before the event. “The council was amazing in preparing for the weekend as well. They did a lot behind-the-scenes preparation including the mowing, the grading of tracks and setting up public toilets. “These are big costs and big efforts and their efforts need to be mentioned.” Mr McInnes said while the event could be susceptible to poor weather, which might reduce day-of registra-

tions, Sunday offered ‘perfect’ conditions. “There is a risk that with poor weather we can lose a majority of participants, participants who have generally registered the weekend of the event,” he said. “But with the success of last year’s event, we were encouraged to stick to what we were doing. “With the current approach, we think the competition is set for the next five to 10 years. “The committee has adjusted in recent years and we wanted to maintain the prize pool alongside a reduced participation rate. “We advertised heavily, we engaged with social media, offered online registrations and reduced stewards along the river. “Based on the Apex Club philosophy of funding community and participation, we want to honour that ideal and feed profits back to the community.”

Events are ‘priceless’ From page 1 “Let’s start enjoying the five-star environment we live in and the five-star communities we can build around it,” Mr Jochinke said. “The reality is that money can’t buy a lot of what we have. Community events are priceless and the ‘actual’ dollars they generate in economic stimulation are also priceless. “We have so much potential in our patch that has been untapped for such a long time. And with more domestic travel happening we have a great chance to showcase what we can offer.” As part of the events diversity, Mr Jochinke found himself among a crowd at Minyip 150th back-to celebrations and later among the throng of visitors in and around Grampians National Park. “There was such a good vibe. Halls Gap was absolutely heaving with people,” he said. “In talking with front-of-house business people they were finding it tough meeting workforce demands, but there was still a positive vibe. “Right across the region there were communities experiencing that same type of vibe and that can only be healthy for everyone.” Mr Jochinke said his role on the Grampians Tourism board was about promoting opportunities for tourists and supporting the region in providing world-class services and experiences. “Part of this is to provide opportunities for people to upskill and understand how to leverage what they have to make their brands strong and to ensure they have access to business support so they can thrive,” he said. “The Grampians mountains are our huge centrepiece, but we want to encourage everyone to explore long weekends or getaways and to have the variety or diversity on offer right across the region. “We have such a brilliant opportunity to parcel up something for families, individuals and everyone in between.”

Health boss: Potential in Karkana A

BY DEAN LAWSON

leading regional mentalhealth official has agreed that dormant Karkana land and buildings in Horsham might be a suitable fit in state plans to improve regional mental-health services. Grampians Health mental-health operations director Mark Thornett said the Grahams Bridge Road site, owned by social welfare organisation Uniting Wimmera, appeared to represent an opportunity. Mr Thornett, in providing early insight the State Government integrating Horsham, Ararat and Ballarat into statewide mental-health and wellbeing-service development plans, said the site, in having land and buildings already available, represented a bonus. He said he agreed transforming Karkana into a ‘Local Adult and Older

Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing Services’ site fitted into the broad service-development moves born from a Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System. “Having a look at some of the information and local reports, it probably does. I’m assuming Uniting and us would have a conversation about how that might look like for a tender,” he said. “If they already have property, I’m sure in the tender there would be some money for some form of infrastructure improvements as well as for employing staff. “So absolutely – buildings as we know are always at a premium at the best of times, so if there is already a building that can be modernised I think it’s a bit of a no-brainer. “I don’t think anything is off the table in that sense. It’s really more

about understanding what’s in the tender, what’s actually associated with the actual capital part of that tender and what’s in there for set-up. Until I can see what’s in the kitty it’s hard to know. “My sense is that there will be some bricks and mortar development in the latest announcement – whether based at a hospital or in the community. “And I don’t think it will be about providing just one service. I think it will be a consortium. “We will want to work in partnership to get right processes and procedures in place so people can move between different services.” Mr Thornett said closing a gap between an intervention stage to when people became unwell and at a crisis point involving mental health, was a critical part of planning the upgraded services.

He said a time-frame for Horsham, Ararat and Ballarat services to become operational was mid-2023. “We have between now and then to actually work out how we’re going to close those gaps,” he said. “We’re going to engage in a piece of work with a consultancy company to come out and talk to the key stakeholders right across the Grampians to look at the things that are currently happening, what are the opportunities to strengthen our current partnerships and ways of working and then build on that to say, ‘okay what do we need to do going forward?’ This would set us up for when tenders get released and then we can look at planning what the new services will look like.” Wimmera community advocates confirmed earlier this year they had identified land and buildings at Karkana on Grahams Bridge Road at Haven

as a potential Wimmera mental-health crisis and respite centre. This came shortly before the State Government announced plans to develop Local Adult and Older Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing service centres in Horsham, Ararat and Ballarat. Member for Mallee Anne Webster, meanwhile, confirmed she would support a community idea to transform Karkana into a mental-health centre if investigations found it appropriate for the role. She said there was an undeniable need for additional mental-health services in the region, especially to fill adult and crisis-support gaps. “Ultimately the State Government will determine where they get to prioritise the money, but I will do what I can as plans become evident,” she said.

Memorial to honour advocate Young A statue of a renowned Australian comedian and disability advocate will appear in her Wimmera hometown with support from the State Government. Northern Grampians Shire Council announced it would build a statue in honour of former Stawell resident, the late Stella Young, by the end of the year. The council will receive a $200,000 grant from the State Government for the statue, part of a successful application to the Victorian Women’s Public Art Program. The council will contribute $50,000 to the project. Ms Young, born in Stawell with osteogenesis imperfecta, otherwise known as ‘brittle bone disease’, was a rights advocate from a young age, having organised an audit of Stawell’s main street’s disability access at 14.

Ms Young used a wheelchair to move around most of her life. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival comedian, television host, editor and prominent disability rights advocate died in 2014, aged 32, of a suspected aneurysm. The Victorian Women’s Public Art Program aims to address gender inequity in the arts and acknowledge that ‘women have played a critical role in the economic, social and cultural development of Victoria’. An audit of public-figure statues in Victoria revealed only nine out of 580 statues were female. State Minister for Women Gabrielle Williams said for far too long, women have been under-represented in public places. “The program is a step in the right direction,” she said.

Stawell rocks weekend Stawell rocked its way down memory lane at the weekend when some of the Australian icons of the 1980s rock-music era pumped out familiar hits at a community concert at

Laidlaw Park. Stawell Harness Racing Club presented the free ‘Back to the 80s at Trackside’, which featured an ‘Absolutely 80s’ show including the performers from bands

such as Uncanny X-Men, Kids in the Kitchen, Chantoozies, Models and Eurogliders. Gavin Wood from former television show Countdown compered the event.

Encephalitis in Northern Grampians Agriculture Victoria has confirmed positive detection of Japanese encephalitis virus at four new Victorian piggeries, including one in Northern Grampians Shire.

The other detections were in Campaspe, Loddon and Gannawarra shires. Late yesterday, authorities were unable to disclose where the Northern Grampians detec-

Room for dawdling disappearing

f there was an appropriate message or phrase in response to many of the stories making news at the moment it would be ‘hurry up!’.

For starters, there is the obvious big one – could all involved in the nasty war unfolding in eastern Europe please ‘hurry up’ and find a way to stop the fighting. Of course there are plenty of other big stories, either hitting us between the eyes, or providing more subtle reminders that we need to ‘hurry up’ in responding to key issues. Perhaps the most persistent and constant reminder stories involve global

sustainability and a need to rise to the challenge to combat or adapt to climate change. Take your pick of stories in news headlines of late. Many ultimately lead back to how humanity is managing or struggling to manage the environment on which we rely at household, town, city, region, state, country and international levels. And yes, as we all know, most of these yarns have long had an underpinning we-need-to-hurry-up-and-fixit message. Speculation about just how much climate change is influencing natural disasters such as fires and floods, including the latest devastation in

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

Queensland and NSW, have become the norm. It all appears to becoming so much more obvious. Unending stories about the threat of global warming to the sustainability of global food crops and the survival of the Great Barrier Reef, rainforests around the world, species decline and extinction, pollution incidents and

sudden fish kills, disappearing bees and other insects, the global buildup of human trash – the list goes on and on. Again, in this information, usually based on science, has always been a demand for a hurry-up human response. We can even the rising price of petrol to a hurry-up message based on environmental management – we should hurry up in our development and adoption of an alternative-fuel motoring industry. We’ve constantly heard stories about the need for greater education to better understand the binding connectivity between us humans and natural-resource management. The message,

you guessed it, is that we have no time to lose. The reality is that these days, most of us are probably well versed on most of the issues. We’re now just waiting for all the wonderful new technologies promised to save us from a global catastrophe to hurry up and become part of everyday life. We’ve said it before – regardless of individual political philosophies, we all need to be a little bit ‘green’ to ensure we can eat, breath and live. The new message might well be that in being a little bit ‘green’ we should as a society seriously all hurry up in our move towards greater security and sustainability.

SIR, – As the federal election rolls into town, so do the National Party slogans. When we see statements like ‘getting it done’ or ‘putting you first’, I hope voters question what this actually means. How is the state of our country roads, lack of hospital health-care services funding, especially aged care, adequate transport options, digital connectivity for all and water mismanagement ‘getting it done’? And when $2-billion of funding was handed out, why did Horsham region only receive $20-million? How is that putting us first? Nationals Member for Mallee Anne Webster says she wants to be judged on her almost four-year track record in government. I asked Mallee voters their thoughts on her track record. Here are some of the answers or comments; where are our hospital services?; where is the highway funding including the Horsham bypass?; where are the options for our youth?; where is the business investment?; we need our airport runway upgrade; and where is Anne Webster in all this – we never see her. Add to that, lack of vision and foresight – it seems the Nationals are

Davis Park to Windy Hill and back again L

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

ong-time Wimmera locals and Essendon supporters will know the name David Flood.

He made his VFL-AFL debut at Windy Hill against St Kilda in 1986. Flood, a Nhill boy, became a talented utility during the early ’90s success of the infamous ‘Baby Bombers’, after being spotted playing as a junior in Nhill. Essendon Football Club had a strong recruiting presence in the Wimmera during the ’80s. Before the creation of the modern draft system, football clubs often drew talent from regional recruiting zones and had more freedom to develop their own club-affiliated junior talent. A talented, tall key-position player, Flood was in and out of the senior side during his early career until he found his feet under coach Kevin Sheedy. Despite featuring in the team’s semi-final and preliminary finals wins, he was dropped from the winning 1993 grand-final squad. Flood remained involved in football after his AFL playing days and rejoined Essendon as a development and welfare co-ordinator. He went on to be a senior coach at VFL club Coburg, a development coach under Alistair Clarkson at Hawthorn, as well as coach the Oakleigh Chargers and Vic Metros, two prestigious Victorian AFL pathway sides. For the 2022 Wimmera Football Netball League season, he will step back into Wimmera football and become a leading hand in Nhill and District Sporting Club’s attempt to climb up the ladder. Flood said when incoming Nhill

senior football coach and former Wimmera league chief commissioner Trevor Albrecht asked if he wanted to be more involved with his former club, he said he would ‘do what he could’ to help. “When Trevor was appointed, he rang me. I wanted to help in some capacity. I had really great coaches when I was young and, hopefully, I can help some of their younger players become great coaches themselves in the future,” he said. During the COVID-19 interrupted 2021 season, Flood, having stepped back from football club involvement, watched some Nhill senior football games in person and some online. He said he appreciated the way the club relied on local talent and how he felt the club emphasised its connection to the Nhill community. “They played with great spirit, although they didn’t win a game all season,” he said. Like some other clubs in the Wimmera, they were going about it with locals, who were enthusiastic about their club and played a clean brand of footy. They certainly recaptured his attention. “I started my football career with Nhill and it would be nice to finish it at Nhill,” Flood said.

Community

He said country football clubs were still such an important part of the community and the Wimmera was no exception. “In Nhill’s case, the club is a composite of many of the local sporting clubs in the town, which makes it a great community hub,” he said.

“These hubs are an integral aspect of any regional town. I have been lucky with my football, I suppose, so if I can give just a little bit back – that is all I want.” Flood said while he was aware the link between sporting clubs and regional communities remained strong, the dynamics been local teenagers and football clubs were changing. He said he was aware these shifts were part of broader changes in regional demographics and employment circumstances. “I think it is important community sporting clubs establish themselves as a community base, where everyone works together to get as many people as possible involved in the broader community,” he said. “It is something Nhill as well as other clubs have done, they have created this hub. While it always nice to focus on winning, there was a bigger picture at stake.”

Metropolitan differences

Flood said the game had evolved since his Nhill days. “From what I’ve seen of Wimmera football games recently; players are young and there is a greater emphasis on running,” he said. “It is all about moving the ball and developing appropriate game styles to accommodate that. The grounds are also in a much better condition than 30 years ago.” Flood said the way regional sporting clubs entwined themselves with the community fostered a unique respect between teams. “On and off the field, the idea of ‘fair play’ comes more naturally in the regions,” he said.

are just further apart than they are in Melbourne.” Flood said pathway clubs such as the Ballarat Rebels ‘ran on the smell of an oily rag’ and a lack of club resources was ‘disappointing’. However, he said while regional players found it hard to access elite pathways, young regional footballers often benefited from exposure to senior football at a young age. “City kids have more pathways, but country kids get a chance to play senior football earlier, which I feel was always beneficial for their development as footballers,” he said.

Development

David Flood “People live and work together and they appreciate the link between football and real life.” However, he said he was disappointed opportunities for young footballers in rural Victoria still lagged behind those in cities. “One of the biggest disappointments I have, when I think about country football, is that it can be extremely difficult for young country players to compete with opportunities available to young footballers in cities,” he said. “Outside of the Ballarat area perhaps, country footballers don’t have the same elite pathways and development structures metropolitan players have. “In my day, Essendon had a huge presence in the Wimmera, but now the centralised draft and pathway programs have developed an urban focus. “Elite stepping stones still exist but

Flood said the connection between football and netball clubs and the community remained the most important aspect of regional sport. “These clubs keep you engaged. They also keep you humble and down to earth,” he said. “These ideas are even more relevant now more women’s leagues are up and running in regional Victoria. “It is great to see the development of women’s football and I can’t wait to see what happens in that space in the years ahead.” Flood now lives in Melbourne’s inner north and works in sustainable golf course design. As COVID-19 restrictions ease in Victoria, he hopes he can get up to half-a-dozen Nhill games in person. He referred to his involvement with the club as ‘informal’.

Transmission plea A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Wimmera development leader has aired his frustrations over a heavily publicised protest against plans to build electrical transmission infrastructure to connect western Victoria renewable energy to Melbourne.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said the protests were in response to a project that represented a rare opportunity for the Wimmera to grow its economy. The Central Highlands protests are in response to AusNet energy plans to build a 190-kilometre transmission line to change the state’s reliance on coal-fired stations in the east of the state, to wind-solar and other renewable sources generated in the state’s west. AusNet officials plan to build the transmission line from Bulgana near Great Western to Sydenham in northwest Melbourne. Wimmera Development Association leaders estimate the project might generate about $10-billion for the Wimmera and southern Mallee economy. Mr Sounness said protests against the transmission-line project, including the Parliament House rally last week, were in conflict with a Wimmera need for the infrastructure to build on much-needed economic development. He added that any territorial conflict between the state’s west and central west would be detrimental

for both regions, stressing that transmission delays seriously disadvantaged the Wimmera-Mallee, which unlike the region between Melbourne and Ballarat had so far missed out on a population shift. He said an Environmental Effects Statement had been provided to understand the impacts the transmission-line project would have on land near or part of a planned route. “The legislation in place is well known and established,” he said. Upper-house Western Victorian Liberal representative Beverly McArthur, who attended the protest, claimed figures from the Central Highlands Potato Growers Association showed the transmission line would affect the Ballarat region’s $1.3-billion potato industry. “McCain Foods has also determined a $250-million economic impact from the Western Victorian Transmission Line Network Project and the potential loss of 1100 jobs,” she said. Mrs McArthur said the State Government needed to re-think its construction plan for the project. “What people want is for this mess to stop – go back to the drawing board – and for a whole of state solution to be considered, not just for the next election, but for the next 100 years,” she said. “The truth is this: the Victorian Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio, can stop this project.” Victorian Farmers Federation horticulture vice-president Katherine Myers of Tourello said the transmission line would impact

potato farmers. “Potato growers use helicopters and aeroplanes to spray crops with fertilisers,” she said. Ms Meyers, a sheep, crop and potato farmer, said farming circumstances were considerably different between the Wimmera-Mallee and Ballarat district, with infrastructure likely to have a greater impact on much smaller farms in the Central Highlands. “There has been no consideration of agriculture and tourism,” she said. Ms Meyer claimed the project was ‘messy’ and would welcome negotiations with Ms D’Ambrosio. She said the state was at a ‘tipping point’ and needed a new energy-grid system and coal was not the future. Member for Mallee Anne Webster said getting the formula right to satisfy the greater good in tapping into Victoria’s renewable-energy opportunities was challenging. “It’s a tough scenario because making this work affects so many people in so many different ways,” she said. “The big issue here is that we need to add renewables onto the electricity grid for the good of all – it has an impact on everyone. “There needs to be a strong conciliatory process and hopefully we can get answers we need to establish a balance soon. “This dispute is similar to arguments surrounding developing electrical inter-connectors – it takes a long time to come up with a solution that is beneficial for all.”

Kelpie trials and sheep shows set O

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

rganisers of a Horsham sheepdog trial hope this year’s event will cement the show as a staple of the Victorian workingdog scene.

The 2022 Wimmera Yard Dog Trial, at Horsham showground’s Maydale Reserve on Saturday and Sunday, part of Wimmera Merino Sheep Show, will attract working dogs from Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales to Horsham for two days of competitive events. Organiser and sheepdog handler Ged Bibby said following on from the success of the inaugural 2021 event, everyone was looking forward to the show attracting more than 80 ‘mostly’ kelpies and their handlers. “The event is broken up into sections with ‘encourage’ and local dogs starting on Saturday afternoon, maiden and novice dogs on Sunday morning, then the improvers and open dogs on Sunday afternoon,” he said. “For all those in the local pubs who might talk up how good their dogs are, the Saturday is your time to shine. I certainly encourage all the local guys to put an entry form in.” Mr Bibby said spectators would experience some of Australia’s best working dogs and handlers competing on the Sunday. “The event is timed well in terms of the broader Australian sheepdog trial scene. South Australia has its state championships just before the weekend, and many of those dogs will pull in on their way back through to New South Wales,” he said. “And the Australian Championships are on in Tasmania the week after, so the timing is perfect for some of the best to compete in Horsham.” Mr Bibby confirmed five-time Australian champion Joe Spicer would be competing on Sunday. He said while the sport was very competitive, experienced handlers were eager to see others competing in less experienced categories. “It is a great social event and we would love spectators to come out to the showground to watch,” he said. “This is the second time the trials will be part of the Victorian Yard Dog Util-

ity Farm Dog Association and we’ve had great feedback from the community,” he said. “It is great chance for people to come down and run into old contacts they maybe haven’t seen in a while. “We have a judge for each section. Each competitor starts with 100 points and the judge deducts points for various factors, with the highest point scorer progressing through the event.” Mr Bibby said the trials will work in tandem with the Wimmera Autumn Merino Sheep Show at the showground. “The merino sheep show had a great following last year and they come from all over Australia,” he said. “We will marry up with them again. We go and have a look at their sheep and they come and have a look at our dogs.” Mr Bibby acknowledged Wimmera Mallee Veterinary Service in Warracknabeal and DMD, which sponsored the event and volunteered its time. “Lots of people are getting back into sheep and people love to see a good dog going around. I think it is only going to get bigger and better from here,” he said. “The work of Steve Robinson and Kevin Woods has been enormous in organising the event as well. So too, Nathan Plush, who has offered his sheep again for the weekend, and Peter Vincent who will transport them to and from the showgrounds.” The return of the Wimmera Autumn Merino Sheep Show on Sunday, for its second year, will attract more than 20 studs from Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. The show also welcomes judges Claire McGauchie and Nicole Crawford. Organisers said the show provides a visual exhibition where families can engage directly with rural life, and food and fibre production, while also enabling growers to compare stock. The Wimmera Autumn Fleece Show, also on Sunday, rounds out a bumper weekend for the Horsham Agricultural Society. Admission details are available on Horsham Agricultural Society social media page.

Kaniva amenities project to start Work on a new $593,000 amenities block at Kaniva Caravan Park will start this week. The project will involve demolition and replacement of an ageing amenities block. Contractor-availability issues had previously delayed work on the project. The new building will include male and female toilets, all-accessibility toilets and showers, laundry, a baby-changing station and a camp kitchen. West Wimmera Shire chief executive David Bezuidenhout said the project would provide a boost for regional tourism. “The caravan park’s amenities block and

Wednesday, March 16, 2022

camp kitchen were built in the 1970s and now fail to meet the basic needs and expectations of the 2022 caravanning and camping tourist,” he said. Mr Bezuidenhout said the upgrade would help accommodate the shire’s growing number of tourists and attract new visitors to the region. “This new facility will be all-accessible, family-friendly and modern,” he said. “More and more people are coming to Kaniva and the surrounding districts to see the silo art trail or immerse themselves in nature.” The council expects the redevelopment to be finished by November 2022.

Green light for social housing C

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

onstruction of a State Governmentfunded social housing development in Horsham, originally announced in September 2021, is set to begin in coming weeks.

Progress on the Haven Home Safe Horsham project, part of the State Government’s Big Housing Build, slowed when the organisation managing the project, Haven Home Safe, advised the government the original site for development was unavailable. A slated $15-million State Government contribution for the project was part of a $1.38-billion Social Housing Growth Fund, within the broader $5.3-billion Big Housing Build investment announced in the 2020-21 State Budget. A Homes Victoria spokesperson said the government had approved funding for the Horsham project to create an additional 25 social housing homes. The spokesperson said Haven Home Safe had now secured a site and construction was expected to commence ‘in coming weeks’. The department advised further details on the site’s location would also be made available ‘in coming weeks’. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said she welcomed investment in housing that would serve the diverse needs and different sections of the Horsham community. “State Government investment will be a key component of that and we absolutely welcome the government’s Big Housing Build and Haven Home Safe project in Horsham,” she said. “Any decisions on developing a site in Horsham, where and where that might be, remains outside of our control.

“However, any proposals will go through the proper channels and planning requirements necessary for any build.” Haven Home Safe will own, manage and provide all tenancy-management of the property after construction. Uniting Wimmera tenancy housing and crisis support senior manager Warrick Davison said he was aware a growing housing shortage in many regional areas, including the Wimmera, was making it more challenging to find safe and secure accommodation for people in need. “Such is the demand, we assess and prioritise everybody who comes to us in need of either temporary, short or long-term housing, based upon their individual needs and a range of other considerations, such as whether their safety is at immediate risk,” he said. Mr Davison said during 2021 there was a ‘significant’ increase in the number of Wimmera people the organisation provided with housing or homelessness support, more than 25 percent higher than their 2020 figures. “On any given night, there are hundreds of people across the Wimmera who are experiencing homelessness,” he said. “Some are sleeping on the streets or in a car, ‘couch surfing’ with family or friends or are simply unable to afford to rent. “We know how devastating it is to be without a home and we understand how much of a difference having a home of their own and retaining local connections makes to somebody’s life, particularly when they are in crisis. “This is why we work closely with other support agencies and our partners in local regions to find suitable accommodation for people as close to their own community as quickly as possible.”

Three decades for club Horsham East Ladies Probus Club members have celebrated the organisation’s 30th birthday with a gathering at Horsham RSL. The club formed in 1992 at a meeting chaired by the then Horsham East Rotary Club president, the late Dr John Nunn. Probus president Ruth Walter invited life-members Phyl Cramer and Lorna Rentsch to cut a 30th birthday celebratory cake during the occasion. She said the club had enjoyed friendship, fellowship and fun over the years, with interesting guest speakers at meetings, formal and infor-

mal outings, a walking group, movie afternoons, fashion parades and other activities. Horsham East Rotary Club president Pam Clarke also

presented a framed 30th birthday congratulatory certificate from Probus South Pacific Limited to the club.

Networking opportunity I

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

n an effort to boost inter-industry understanding, a Wimmera agricultural logistics business hosted a networking event for grain growers, buyers and logistics companies last week.

The event, hosted by transport logistics enterprise SCT, invited Grain Grower Association delegates from various Wimmera businesses to the Wimmera Intermodal Freight Terminal in Dooen for site tours, networking opportunities and interviews. SCT general manager Matt Eryurek said the day was a chance to bring various elements of the grain industry together to showcase and advocate for inter-industry co-operation and Wimmera grain industry development. SCT, operating out of the Dooen hub since 2012, confirmed its transport of grain from the region to Melbourne ports would heavily rely on rail instead of road. “We support grain growers and our work involves running containers of agricultural product out of the region to Melbourne ports,” he said. “This gives us the opportunity to present, showcase and advocate for cleaner and more efficient solutions from rail to port, to our customers. It is important they understand what we do. “Sometimes international shipping companies make decisions to reduce terms or equipment supply, but don’t necessarily understand how that affects farmers, growers or packers. “We want to bring key stakeholders into the region to speak with people in the industry in the Wimmera, introduce a human element and get them to understand without solutions for getting grain to market, it doesn’t get exported. “We want to host multiple discovery sessions in regional areas, to advocate for farmers. The more we talk about the positives of the region, land investment, greener sustainable solutions and efficiency development in the region, the better for our customers and for the region.” Grain Growers national policy group member Daniel Kean said it was exciting to see the vision SCT had for grain growing in the region. “It was very interesting to see the investment the company was making in the container line space and discuss what this investment could do for the region in the future,” he said. “More efficient transport solutions make our grain more profitable and that is more money in the growers hands.”

Milestone celebration N

atimuk people are planning major celebrations next week to mark the town’s 150th anniversary of settlement.

Organisers anticipate Natimuk’s population will double in size during the threeday Back-to-Natimuk event on March 25-27, with visitors and former residents travelling from across Victoria and interstate for the occasion. Arapiles Historical Society, Natimuk A and P Society and Back-to-Natimuk trustees are steering final preparations for the weekend, now the threat of COVID-19 lockdowns has eased. Spokesman Keith Lockwood said the celebrations were timed to coincide with the 130th grand annual Natimuk Show, and were almost 150 years since the first settlers Ernst Haustorfer and Henry Speher received their land licences on March 28, 1872. He said Member for Lowan Emma Kealy would open the Back-to-Natimuk celebrations on the Friday evening with the launch of a new pictorial history of Natimuk, titled Natimuk Reflections, followed by the launch of another two Natimuk histories – Natimuk District Pioneers by Colin Haustorfer and the Sudholz Family History ‘About Time’ by Gianna Sudholz. Arapiles Historical Society will unveil a new exhibition, highlighting the town’s five previous Back-to-Natimuk celebrations, in Natimuk court house following the book launches. The focus of celebrations on Saturday, March 26 will be the Natimuk Show, with

Auxiliary fundraiser Stawell Hospital Auxiliary will host an event to raise money for Stawell Regional Health. The committee will host a wine and cheese night on March 25 at Stawell Entertainment Centre from 6.30pm. Individuals will receive a light supper and two complimentary beverages from their $25 ticket. Auxiliary member Gaye Walter said money raised would go towards improving the hospital’s equipment. “We are going to have a raffle and an auction. It is going to be a friendly get-together,” she said. “All money goes straight to hospital.” People can call Ruth Hatton on 0437 277 953 or Pam Byron, 0428 598 272, for more information.

RIB SUBLUXATION, WHAT’S THAT?? Have you ever had a stabbing pain in the mid-back or moved or coughed suddenly only to find you have a sharp pain in your back or chest? Do you know what a rib subluxation is? Do you know how they can happen? So easily!! Rib subluxations are caused when the rib becomes jammed up in one direction. It can cause sudden sharp pain in the upper back often around the shoulder blade area. It can feel like a knife-like pain and movement aggravates it. Now will it go away by itself? The pain will settle in one to two weeks, however this still means that the rib can be still jammed up and not allowing free movement in the upper back Chiropractic is really good at helping people with this type of issue. Whether a person is young, or old there are chiropractic techniques which can assist with this problem. So don’t put up with pain, let us help you.

Jobs bootcamp A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Wimmera employment facilitator, in conjunction with business and development organisations, hosted a hospitality jobs program to combat regional hospitality worker shortages.

Wimmera Mallee Local Jobs and Skills Taskforce, supported by Wimmera Development Association and employment services business MADEC, ran a ‘hospitality bootcamp’ for people seeking work in the Wimmera. The initiative sought to address a hospitality worker shortage in the region, as COVID-19 restrictions eased and hospitality businesses welcomed residents and visitors back to venues, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Wimmera Mallee taskforce chair and employment facilitator Tony Laria said it was terrific to see job seekers, employment service providers and the hospitality and tourism business community come together for the event. “The bootcamp gave jobseekers an opportunity to gain new skills and training, industry certifications and confidence,” he said. “Bootcamp jobseekers also got a chance to meet with employers in an informal environment, and because of this, we have filled several urgent hospitality vacancies in the Horsham area.” The Wimmera Mallee jobs taskforce represents one of 51 employment regions under the Federal Government Local Jobs Program, each chaired by an employment facilitator alongside a team of government, industry and education stakeholders. The hospitality bootcamp concept began as an employment project in Mildura. Wimmera Development Association program manager Vernetta Taylor said a successful Mildu-

ra program was the inspiration for the Wimmera bootcamp. “We wanted to replicate that in the Wimmera, with MADEC as provider of training,” she said. “The idea of a bootcamp was to provide essential skills for people keen to be in the hospitality industry. “The program was a short and sharp training environment, preparing participants to hit the ground running in Wimmera businesses and venues.” Mrs Taylor said staff shortages were not unique to the Wimmera, however the easement of COVID-19 restrictions and the return of interstate travellers to the Wimmera’s tourist hubs compounded the issue in the region. “We want a real vibrant and active hospitality industry in the region,” she said. “The industry employers had input into what skills and training was most important for participants to learn and we tailored the training around this feedback.” MADEC employment consultant Dee Devlin said the bootcamp was great, with employers and jobseekers getting to know each other. “The jobseekers are confident and ready to start their new carers in the hospitality industry and employers are thrilled they have some training and certifications,” she said. The Wimmera Mallee jobs taskforce, in partnership with Ararat Rural City Council, Regional Development Victoria and Jobs Victoria, will host a ‘Workforce Connect’ forum on Friday in Ararat. Bookings for the collaborative and individually specific business workshops have closed. The Workforce Connect forum will run from 1.30pm to 3pm at Alexandra Oval Community Centre, Ararat.

Annual charity matches Ararat community has an invitation to participate in charity football and netball games at Alexandra Oval to raise money for community mentalhealth programs. The annual ‘Over 40s Football and Netball Match’ on March 26 will raise money for Grampians Community Health programs. Ararat council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison said the match, the brainchild of former AFL player Scott Turner, intended to bring the community together, encourage sport participation and support the health and wellbeing of the community. “Council is proud to be supporting a charity event and recognises the contribution it makes through the money raised to deliver vital programs at Grampians Community Health,” he said. “I encourage residents to get behind their friends and family who are involved in the match at Alexandra Oval and support a good cause.” Event committee lead Mark Dohnt said the evening was a great social event and it highlighted

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

the importance of working together to support the health needs of the local community. “We’re calling for more participants to get involved in the friendly match; it’s a chance to have a bit of fun, raise money for a good cause and play alongside AFL legend Scott Turner,” he said. “Previous matches have been a great success, attracting a good-sized crowd and raising money to establish much-needed health programs for the region. “This year, the funds raised will go towards establishing a carer support group for families whose kids are affected by drugs. “It’s going to be a fun afternoon out for the whole family, with football and netball matches, food trucks and raffle prizes to be won.” Gates open at 4pm, the netball game starts at 5pm and football match at 6.15pm. Food trucks and a canteen will be available. Registration is required for football and netball participation at trybooking.com/events/ landing?eid=774661&. Wednesday, March 16, 2022

Rams win Good Sports honour N

atimuk United Football and Netball Club has won a major award for helping members stay connected throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns.

The Rams won a Good Sports Staying Connected Award, with officials announcing details at an awards ceremony in Melbourne. Alcohol and Drug Foundation hosted the awards, which recognised ‘good sports’ clubs and their volunteers from across the country, who are passionate about their community and their members. As part of the award, the Natimuk United club received $1000 for implementing creative projects such as online workouts, trivia nights and a virtual canteen fundraiser to keep members engaged and connected during the pandemic. Club secretary Shelly Stockdale said the Rams believed staying connected during lockdowns represented an extension of the Good Sports values of creating a safe environment for members and looking out for their health and wellbeing. “Despite a tough 2021, we feel like the club is closer than ever through our lockdown activities and winning the staying connected award has been the perfect way to celebrate our increased connection and the end of restrictions,” she said. Victorian Community Sport Minister Ros Spence congratulated all finalists. “Community sports are integral to Victorian

communities and bring people together in so many ways,” she said. “I congratulate Natimuk United Football and Netball Club and every incredible Victorian Good Sports awards finalist demonstrates the impact community sport has in shaping positive, life-long behaviours.” Alcohol and Drug Foundation chief executive Dr Erin Lalor also praised this year’s winners as community champions. “Every Good Sports award nominee, finalist and winner should be incredibly proud of the dedication they’ve shown toward their community, members and club,” she said. “We hope that Good Sports awards has given clubs an opportunity to reflect on their wins on and off the field, and celebrate their achievements, especially for those clubs who were affected once again by COVID-19 restrictions.” Good Sports is Australia’s largest community health sports program and has helped build strong community sporting clubs across Australia for more than 20 years. In Victoria, the Federal Government funds Good Sports, which is managed by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation. “Sporting clubs that model healthy behaviours are leaders in their community, and more than 3000 Good Sports clubs in Victoria play an important role to prevent and reduce harms from alcohol and other drugs,” Dr Lalor said.

‘No dingoes’ meeting People against the concept of introducing dingoes into Grampians National Park will gather at a public meeting at Dunkeld Community Centre next month. The ‘No Dingoes’ public meeting will start at 7pm at Dunkeld Community Centre on April 7. John and Rhonda Crawford from Victoria Valley’s Rock-Bank Merino and Poll Merino Stud have organised the gathering and invited politicians and the media as well as the general public. Their latest online petition against the introduction of dingoes to the park had 336 signatures late last week and they were confident they had about 600 overall. The stud is promoting the meeting as an opportunity to ‘update community, farmers, stock agents and businesses affected by these crazy recommendations’. The meeting is in response to a Victorian Parliament Legislative Council Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry into ecosystem decline in Victoria late last year. Wednesday, March 16, 2022

One of the inquiry recommendations was to trial dingo introduction into the park to assess benefits of having an extra apex predator in the environment to help balance natural parkland ecology. This recommendation came with a series of provisos including a compensation scheme for farmers who lost stock to predator attacks. Another was to change the status of dingoes based on establishing an understanding of the species’ genetics and to greater explore nonlethal ways of dealing with dingoes and wild dogs in relation to agriculture. A Greater Gariwerd Landscape Draft Management Plan also speculated about the potential of introducing dingoes into the park based on cultural as well as ecological benefits. The idea has, for several months, attracted considerable debate. The Crawfords have urged people to bring placards or signs to the meeting to help generate attention about the issue.

King’s road to represent Mallee A

BY NICK RIDLEY

United Australia Party candidate running for Mallee in the Federal Election said he believed the electorate’s residents needed better representation in Canberra.

Stuart King from Swan Hill said Nationals Member for Mallee Dr Anne Webster had left regional western Victorians behind by kowtowing the government’s line. “People want better representation and for someone to stand up for issues in Mallee, such as infrastructure and immigration,” he said. Mr King said the immigration process for workers to get permanent residency needed changing and border closures had affected the international backpacking workforce. “A lot of growers have been finding it difficult to get their workers permanent residency and a temporary visa is hard to obtain,” he said. “The Federal Government has been extremely stringent with domestic border and international border closures.” Mr King claimed there was a lack of people applying for jobs in the Mallee. “There are job vacancies at all levels of experience and it’s hard to pinpoint which one has been hit the worst,” he said. “Hospitality and farm labour have been hit hard in this electorate, as well as finding staff for councils.” Mr King said the Federal Government had failed to allocate money to regional areas in the Mallee for assets such as hospitals or roads. “There needs to be a better path of funding for local governments to manage and maintain their road networks here,” he said.

“They are not good at giving funding for roads because there isn’t enough money put into roads. “There needs to be a better pathway for state funding for roads.” Mr Stuart said both federal and state governments took a hands-off approach when it came to infrastructure. “What I have seen from the federal and state governments is they are good at giving money away and standing in front of a ribbon, but that is about it,” he said.

“I am not a groomed politician. I’ve been a farmer, councillor and civil engineer and I have experience in a practical sense. I am just an ordinary bloke who is ready to have a go” – Stuart King, left

End bureaucracy

Mr Stuart, a former Swan Hill councillor, said he hoped to end bureaucracy in the Federal Government. “I have experienced the levels of bureaucracy that is above us on a state and federal level,” he said. “That is why I believe in a reduced government and restoration of freedoms because they have been under threat by state and federal governments.” Mr Stuart said he believed Mallee residents should have greater freedoms, but government regulations were necessary. “I am not a groomed politician. I’ve been a farmer, councillor and civil engineer and I have experience in a practical sense,” he said. “I am just an ordinary bloke who is ready to have a go.” Mr Stuart said he believed in reducing the number of public servants in the Federal Government. “Government and elected representatives have relinquished their power and given it to non-elected bureaucrats,” he said. Mr Stuart said reducing the public service would require a level of proportionality, however, politicians should have the responsibility of power. “How do you become elected without

any knowledge? Elected representatives know the people in their electorate and what they do in their lives,” he said. “We see it way too often where a politician has been groomed and given a safe seat. “We need real-life representatives that have run small businesses or worked as teachers and doctors.” Mr Stuart said there had been a misrepresentation from mainstream media outlets about the United Australia Party being anti-vaccine. “The reports of the party being anti-vax is nonsense – the party is anti-mandates,” he said. Mr Stuart said his hopes for Mallee in the future were for a thriving community.

Refreshed range New name and engine for Mercedes-Benz Valente

ercedes-Benz Vans has announced a new engine lineup for its revised Vito range effective from this month.

all-aluminium powertrain incorporates a diesel particulate filter design located closer to the engine for faster warm-up times. Further, the low cylinder spacing of the 1950cc engine, rear camshaft drive and adjacent-mounted Lanchester balancer shafts contribute to what Mercedes-Benz says is an exceptionally compact and lightweight design that is more durable and reliable than the outgoing OM651 and OM626 units. For reference, the OM654 engine weighs 168.4kg, which is 17 percent lighter than the outgoing 2143cc unit. The OM654 engine becomes standard on all Vito 116 and 119 variants

The refreshed Vito line-up – which now includes the newly named Vito Tourer – is expected to arrive in showrooms from May and will be offered with the German marque’s new OM 654-series four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that promises smoother and more efficient running. Paired to Mercedes-Benz’s 9GTronic nine-speed automatic transmission as standard and bringing with it a wider ratio spread than the outgoing seven-speed unit, the Vito range’s new

with the same power and torque outputs as offered previously. For Vito 116 that means 120kW at 3800rpm and 380Nm from 1600-2600rpm and for Vito 119 140kW at 3800rpm and 440Nm between 1600-2400rpm. Additionally, all Vito 116 and 119 variants now receive adaptive cruise control, tinted windows, comfort seats and all-weather rubber floor mats as standard. The entry-level Vito 111 is powered by the carryover OM622-series engine and six-speed manual transmission pairing. The newly christened Vito Tourer will also shift to the new OM654

engine and 9G-Tronic pairing and will receive specification upgrades that include adaptive cruise control, tinted windows, seat cushion length adjustment, 17-inch alloy wheels and velour floor mats. Mercedes-Benz Vans says the model’s name change aligns it with the ‘global naming convention for the product line and future products to come, such as the eVito Tourer later this year’. The Vito range now begins at $44,058 plus on-road costs for the base-grade 111 SWB Van. Depending on variant, the Vito range rises in price from between $1158 and

$4536 with Vito Tourers facing the largest overall increase. The Vito Tourer is now priced from $70,336 plus on-road costs, making it the third most expensive variant in the reformed Vito range behind the 119 MWB Crew Cab Van, $70,662, and 119 LWB Crew Cab Van, $72,921, variants. Mercedes-Benz Vans says the new name and specifications take effect for all vehicles produced from this month and that the first vehicles are expected to arrive for sale from May. The revised Vito and Vito Tourer ranges are available for order now. – Matt Brogan

Kia to introduce two EV utes

ia has indicated it will launch two electric utes as part of a range of new zero-emissions models by 2027.

The line-up will comprise as many as 14 battery-electric vehicles, BEVs. Kia said one of the utes would be designed specifically for emerging markets, while the other was earmarked for mature markets, such as Australia, where it would compete with rivals such as the Chevrolet Silverado EV, Ford F-150 Lightning, Ram 1500 EV, Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck. Kia has yet to reveal full details of its utility BEVs, but confirmed the load-carrying variants would be in showrooms by as early as 2026. The light commercial utilities form part of a range of electric cars that Kia plans to launch by 2027 and will arrive alongside a further 17 BEVs from sister company Hyundai. Hyundai Motor Company president and chief executive Jaehoon Chang said his company would continue to advance both its hardware and software technologies. “Hyundai is successfully accelerating its transition to electrification and becoming a global leader in EVs despite a challenging business environment caused by the industry-wide chip shortage and ongoing pandemic,” he said. “Along with our seamless efforts to improve EV value, HMC will continue to secure its business sustainability as a mobility solutions provider through advanced technologies of not only hardware, but also software.” Mr Chang unveiled sales and financial performance targets that he said were expected to be achieved by the end of the decade, including annual global BEV sales of 1.87 million units, or a seven percent global share by 2030. Hyundai also presented its mid to long-term financial goals earmarking $105.6 billion of investment for future business by 2030, including $21.4 billion for electrification and $13.3 billion for software capabilities. The Korean giant said that by the end of the decade, it hoped to achieve an operating profit margin of 10 percent or higher in EV businesses by enhancing competitiveness in hardware and software capabilities and an expanded vehicle line-up.

That line-up will include 11 electric models from Hyundai – including three sedan models, six SUVs, one light commercial vehicle, as well as ‘one new-type model’ – and six from Genesis, including two passenger cars and four SUVs. Hyundai also said it would diversify battery sourcing with the aim of securing 170GWh of batteries for its models by 2030, and introduce an Integrated Modular Architecture, IMA, – an evolution of the electric global modular platform, E-GMP, that underpins the Ioniq 5 and GV60. The IMA was being developed to standardise a battery system and up to five motor types, which will be used in a wide range of BEVs and the exclusive purpose-built vehicle platform. The Korean firm was also developing new software architectures capable of applying over-the-air updates to new models from the end of 2022 and a ‘level three’ autonomous driving technology dubbed Highway Driving Pilot, which would be applied to the Genesis G90 later this year.

Electric future

For Kia, the future looks equally electric. The firm is targeting annual vehicle sales of four million units globally in 2030, including 1.2 million BEVs. It will reportedly introduce up to 14 new BEVs by 2027 and offer more

PLANNING: Kia’s concept Mojave, above, and Safari Sedona, left, are included in a range of new zeroemissions models to be relased by the company by 2027. than two million eco-friendly models for annual global sale by the year 2030. Like Hyundai, Kia will also offer advanced autonomous driving capabilities dubbed AutoMode by 2023. The technology will debut in the brand’s EV9 and roll out elsewhere in following years. Kia president and chief executive Ho Sung Song said Kia had been undergoing a full-scale transformation which included changes in corporate vision, logo, product and design and strategy. “To achieve the company’s vision of becoming a sustainable mobility solutions provider, we will focus on

accelerating the transition to future business models,” he said. “We will become increasingly customer-centric in our approach and pursue a dynamic transformation while maintaining sound business operations.” Mr Sung Song said the company aimed to expand the proportion of eco-friendly cars within its portfolio from 17 percent in 2022 to 52 percent in 2030. Kia planned to launch at least two new BEVs each year from 2023 and build a full line-up of 14 BEVs by 2027. Furthermore, the company was planning to establish a battery supply-

and-demand strategy and constantly upgrade its battery technology. It forecasted that battery demand would increase significantly from 13GWh in 2022 to 119GWh in 2030 on the back of increased EV sales. Kia’s mid to long-term financial goals show that by 2026, the company aims to reach a total $132.3-billion in gross revenue with $11.1-billion in operating profit and an operating profit margin of 8.3 percent. Kia aims to increase its market capitalisation to $110.2-billion by 2026 – a threefold increase compared with the end of 2021. – Matt Brogan

G Motor Australia and New Zealand says its new ZS EV is set to consolidate its position as a leader in the affordable new energy vehicle space when it launches in July this year, despite the top-spec Essence variant increasing in price by $5000.

It is the next step in MG Motor’s journey of making EV easy for everyone,” he said. The exterior of the ZS EV is redesigned with a ‘stylish and modern’ aesthetic. The grille-less front fascia is dominated by 21-module LED selfdimming headlights, while the rear-

end receives nine-module LED taillights. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels are standard across the range. In addition, the newly introduced ZS EV Excite, from $46,990 driveaway, features a reversing camera, 360-degree camera system, MG Pilot technology and a 10.1-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and na-

As part of the upgrade, the freshly updated ZS EV receives a completely new interior and more efficient, betterperforming driveline. The two-variant range – Excite and Essence – will be priced from $46,990 drive-away with both models to draw power from a 51kWh battery pack MG Motor says will provide up to 320km of driving range. While it is yet to provide full specifications of the driveline, MG Motor said the ZS EV would feature an updated electric motor and enhance battery management electronics to improve the model’s driving characteristics and efficiency. MG Motor Australia and New Zealand chief executive Peter Ciao said Australian and New Zealand customers appreciated the MG ZS EV was leading the way in affordable EV motoring. “We trust that our new ZS EV will grow that legacy.

Both ZS EV variants include MG Pilot driver assistance technology as standard with intelligent high-beam control, AEB, adaptive cruise control, emergency lane keeping, speed assistance and more. Like all MG Motor passenger models, the ZS EV is backed by a sevenyear-unlimited-kilometre warranty which includes the high-voltage battery. Further, MG Motor is offering a $500 rebate on the price of its new MG ChargeHub wallbox to the first 500 purchasers of its revised ZS EV. The company says its newly released wallbox is the ‘perfect accompaniment to the ZS EV’ and enables faster charging times for all EVs regardless of brand. Available in 7kW single-phase and 11kW three-phase configurations, the agnostic electric vehicle chargers are now offered for purchase via MG Motor’s 80 dealerships nationwide for $1990 and $2090 respectively. The weather-resistant Charge Hub unit can be wall or pedestal mounted and is Open Charge Point Protocol compliant ensuring it is compatible with any Type 2 electric vehicle on the market in Australia. The new MG ZS EV will go on sale from July. – Matt Brogan

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONS

We’re All In This Together

Mathematician and meteorologist Edward Norton Lorenz. He noted that butterfly effect is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a tornado (the exact time of formation, the exact path taken) being influenced by minor things such as a distant butterfly flapping its wings several weeks earlier. Whether or not we agree with this, we all know that we all share the same planet, breathe the same air, are reliant on the earth and are interconnected. What we do, affects each other. We think of those affected by the devastating floods in Queensland and NSW, or the horrific war in The Ukraine. We may not be directly impacted or know people involved, but we may be affected by watching it evolve, or wanting to help or even by rising petrol prices! The Bible tells us “There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28) God loves everybody equally – no one is greater than another, and in God, there is no distinction. This is why God’s Son, Jesus, died for the world, for everybody of all time, and rose again, so that we can be in relationship with God, have love for each other and a living hope. Jesus said to love our neighbour as ourselves (Mark 12:31). That’s a challenge and an invitation, where we can ask, “How can I show love to others today?”. Susan Pearse, Uniting Church

Laugher clinches driver challenge W

BY TONY LOGAN

hen young Tasmanian reinsman Jack Laugher moved over to Victoria, it was with the intention of doing a 12-month stint to gain experience and hone his craft in the hustle-bustle world of harness racing on the mainland.

Forward a little over three years and Laugher’s still here on this side of the ‘Bass’ and on Monday afternoon became the youngest winner of Horsham Harness Racing Club’s, time-honoured Noel Smith Memorial Invitation Drivers Championship. Such has been Laugher’s progress that his last season’s tally of 195 wins, including 33 metropolitan victories, saw him ranked in the top three drivers on both Victorian premiership tables. Now based in Bendigo, Laugher drove in all five heats of the Noel Smith invitational on Monday and accumulated 39 points with a third, second, eighth, first and a third to take the title in a blanket finish. Next in line were the three Team Teal ambassadors, Kerryn Manning on 37, Kate Gath, 34 and Jodi Quinlan, 32. Then came Zac Phillips, 30, Anthony Butt, 28, Leigh Sutton, 27, Chris Alford, 24, James Herbertson, 19 and last year’s winner, Jason Lee on 19. What a day it was for the locals and

TOP POINTS: Decron Horse Care principal Merv Butterworth presents Horsham’s Noel Smith Memorial shield to Jack Laugher, winner of the 2022 Horsham Invitation Drivers Championship. the Team Teal ovarian cancer campaign at the Horsham Racing Centre on Monday afternoon. Manning started the ball rolling in the first heat of the Horsham invitation when she urged three-year-old gelding Ranger Rick along the sprint lane to score for Horsham owners Terry and Jen Lewis and trainer Matty Craven. The well-bred, lightly raced pacer was making his first appearance in Australia after changing hands as a three-start maiden in New Zealand and looks to have a bright future. Quinlan kept the teal pants to the fore with back-to-back wins in the

second and third invitation heats – saluting with Telemachus for trainer Nathan Cahir and Wendy’s Watching for the Clinton McSwain stable. Horsham owners Justin, Jo, Morgan and Reilly Lane celebrated after their home-bred four-year-old mare Muckinbar Diva with Jack Laugher aboard, took out heat four of the championship. It was Team Teal again to close the invitational when Manning led from go to whoa for a nine-metre victory with Don’t Need An Excuse for astute Naracoorte trainer Greg Scholfield.

TEAM TEAL: Horsham Racing Centre helped raise awareness and money for ovarian cancer research on Monday, bringing a Team Teal campaign to the track. The afternoon included a Team Teal Ladies High Tea at West Side Horsham.

THE WINNING FEELING: Jock Baker stands on the podium’s top step on Saturday following speedway South Australian limited sportsman titles. Hamilton’s Dylan Anton, left, claimed second place and Mount Gambier’s Josh Aston, right, third.’

Speedway champ A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Pimpinio man and speedway racer has won another South Australian state title after a thrilling win in the limited sportsman class on Saturday. Jock Baker, the reigning Victorian State title holder in his class, won his third Limited Sportsman South Australian title, just as his gearbox failed when he crossed the finish line at Riverland Speedway, Renmark. Mr Baker said while he took the title, he did not have everything his own way. “We had an incident in a hot lap, before the first heat race,” he said. “We blew a differential and a gear box. Our crew was great, they got it all together and got all the parts needed to rebuild it all before the heats.” Mr Baker came fifth in his first heat race, first

in his second and seventh in his third, before starting on pole for the final. “We led all the way in the final race before again, blowing another gearbox just after crossing the line,” he said. “It was vibrating a lot during the last 10 laps and after crossing the line and coming around again to grab the flag, it all went. They had to push me off the track.” He said with a Stampede Series race in Hamilton in two weeks and the Victorian State speedway titles during the Easter weekend, the car will be rebuilt again. Mr Baker has won six limited sportsman class state titles including three Victorian titles and three South Australian titles. He will head to the 2022 Victorian State Titles in Bairnsdale on April 16 as the reigning Victorian and South Australia title holder.

IN FORM: Horsham City’s successful bowling team.

City club continues winning ways

Horsham City Bowling Club midweek pennant winners have won their way to state pennant championships. The city team made its way to the state final by winning a regional title at Stawell Golf and Bowls Club. This was Horsham City’s third regional midweek title in a row. Horsham City won the Wimmera bowls region mid-week pennant premiership and in regional play-offs took on pennant winners from North Central, North Wimmera and Grampians to go to the final 16 in Victoria. In its first game against Boort, Horsham City won 49-17 with Kevin Clyne’s rink of Cheryl McDonald, Peter Ross and Sandra Knight recording a mighty win 24-3. North Wimmera’s Warracknabeal beat City by six shots, 35-29, Wednesday, March 16, 2022

with a Geoff Inglis rink of Marie Lehmann, John Lehmann and Betty Cozens recording 14-8. In a final game Horsham played the unbeaten team from Grampians, Ararat, and produced a 50-26 win. Hux Mitchell’s team of Beverly Bretag, Govan Bellinger and Elaine Mitchell recorded an 18-7 win during the contest. Horsham City was overall winner with four points and 51 shots up from Warracknabeal four points and three shots up with Ararat third with four points and three shots down. Horsham City bowlers will now compete in the state championship at Moama Bowling Club on May 23 and 24. Club president Graham McDonald said the result was an amazing effort and wished players good bowling at Moama. www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Five in a row... S

BY ONE SHORT

wifts-Great Western defeated Buangor-Tatyoon in straight sets during the weekend to claim Grampians Cricket Association’s McDonald Shield.

The win was the fifth straight season the Combine has won the shield, a remarkable effort considering the team had lost five players from the previous premiership side. In the best-of-three finals format the first match was at Tatyoon, where the Combine asked the Hawks to bat and claimed early success to quickly have the home side 3-20. This brought Jarrod Blandford, 38, and Tyler Cronin, 32, to the crease in an attempt to steady the ship. The Combine, through Will Clough, 3-29, and Tom Fitzgerald, 2-21, were able to restrict the Hawks to 7-127 off the 40 allocated overs. In reply, the Combine lost opener Sam Cocks on 14 but then the Eckel brothers Tom and Jess combined for a 72-run partnership that assured the Combine of a win. The innings closed at 3-129 with 39 balls to spare. On Sunday at Stawell’s Central Park and in front of a good crowd,

the Combine won the toss and batted and reached 8-143, mainly due to a 60-run third-wicket partnership between Tom Eckel, 46, and up-and-comer Jack Cann, 42. Best of the Hawks bowlers were Sam Cronin, 3-20, and James Phillips 2-31. Having to win this match to keep their chances alive, the Hawks quickly lost two wickets to Will Clough, 2-18, and it was again left to Blandford, 16, and Tyler Cronin, 24, in conjunction with opener Riley Wood, 44, to rescue the innings. At 3-88 the Hawks looked to be in with a big chance, but at the fall of Wood’s wicket the Combine was able to break through regularly and at 9-131 and needing a run a ball for the last two overs, it became an exciting game of cricket. Unfortunately for the Hawks, number-11 batsmen Callum Baker, in attempting to hit Matt Heffer out of the ground, holed out and the premiership was the Combine’s. The innings was not without drama. When Combine wicketkeeper Sam Cocks caught James Phillips, he attempted to throw the ball in the air but dropped it. The umpires conferred and ruled that he had held the ball for long enough for a legal catch.

The Combine’s bowling honors went to Brady Miller with 4-24 and umpires Andy Farish and Phil Rodger, awarded the Steve ‘Wombat’ Smith Memorial Medal to Tom Eckel of Swifts-Great Western as most valuable player in the finals. In the B Grade grand final, St Andrews regained entry into A Grade ranks by defeating Swifts-Great Western. Batting first, the Combine reached 4-166 with the highlight being opener Craig Marrow carrying his bat for nine. In reply, the Saints, with more aggressive running between wickets and unbeaten 69 from James Menzies, were able to reach 5-167 with 25 balls to spare. Grand finals – A Grade: One, at Tatyoon, SwiftsGreat Western 3-129 (J. Eckel 34, T. Eckel 34, R Peters 24no) d Buangor-Tatyoon 7-127 (J. Blandford 38, T Cronin 32; W. Clough 3-29); two, at Stawell’s Central Park, Swifts-Great Western 8-143 (T. Eckel 46, J. Cann 42; S. Cronin 3-20) d Buangor-Tatyoon 134 (R. Wood 44, T. Cronin 24; B. Miller 4-24). B Grade: St Andrews 5-167 (J. Menzies 69no, R. Skiller 39) d Swifts-Great Western 5-166 (C. Marrow 91no, T. Nicholson 23).

Bullants favourites, Panthers slip in D

BY DEAN LAWSON

unmunkle outfit RupanyupMinyip will enter a Horsham Cricket Association A Grade grand final this weekend as raging underdog.

This is despite the Blue Panthers casually slipping into the season finale with a surprisingly one-sided semifinal victory over Homers. The enterprising team, filled with some of the most talented emerging cricketers in the region, blasted its way into the season decider at the weekend. But the side takes on a seasoned Noradjuha-Toolondo team, which has spent most of the summer living up to its reputation as competition benchmark. Last weekend at Dimboola, Rupanyup-Minyip ripped the heart out of Homers premiership plans, bowling the Pigeons out for 88 and then passing the target with only four wickets down. Bowlers took it in turns to be destroyers, with Lachie Weidemann, 3-17, Connor Weidemann, 2-17 and Bailey Young, 3-18, causing early havoc. Caeleb Leith also chimed in with 2-23. The only Pigeons to offer considerable resistance with the bat were opener Paddy Mills with 32 and tailender Joey Nagorcka, 19 not out. Homers then attempted to stay in the game, Baxter Perry quickly removing openers Jake Leith and Jeremy Byrne. But Connor Weidemann, unbeaten on 38, Daniel Schaper, 23, and Mark Mbofana, 17 not out, ensured and Blue Panthers continued their path to the final. The other semi-final between Noradjuha-Toolondo and West Wimmera at Horsham City Oval ultimately represented a tough hit-out the Bullants were seeking. A determined West Wimmera, after making 8-163, made the Bullants work overtime and players only determined a result in the dying overs of the day. Opener Josh Beddison made a gamehigh 56 for the winners and Matt Combe, 34, and it was a 48-run unbeaten partnership between Tony Caccaviello, 21, and Kent Hair, 25, that sealed the deal. Caccaviello’s efforts were fitting

considering on Saturday night he won the association’s Cec Hopper Medal, the highest individual accolade on offer in the competition. This weekend others such as Justtin Combe, Shane Oakley and Troy Dumesny will also want to get among the runs, while Caccaviello, John Heard, Jordan McDonald and Anthony Cutter probe for wickets. West Wimmera’s efforts were admirable considering the Warriors last-minute push into finals and that Nathan Alexander and Mitch Dehlenburg went cheaply at the weekend. Liam Preston, 38, Brad Alexander 31 not out, and Liam Albrecht, Austin Smith and Travis Polkinghorne, all helped their team recover and bowlers challenged the Bullants. The grand final is the showcase of Horsham district cricket and action will start at Horsham City Oval from 1pm on Saturday.

Saturday will be a big day of cricket in Horsham with a B Grade final between Laharum and Horsham Saints and a C Grade clash between West Wimmera and Horsham Saints Black.

Harrow-Balmoral

in 2022

Fun first for Southern Roos BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Harrow-Balmoral club leader says a letter written by club elders during last year’s disrupted season epitomises the club’s ethos.

Incoming president Tereasa Hobbs said before the abandonment of the finals series, when the club was set to host a spectator-less finals match, a group of elder club members wrote a ‘beautiful’ card wishing the club well before the game. “It was a reminder our community was missing out just as much as the players were. It maybe signals what the club stands for – community,” she said. “This year is about getting the community back together, after the last couple of years that really took a toll on everyone. “The club plays such an important role in the community, not just from a football and netball standpoint, but within the broader regional community.” Mrs Hobbs takes up the top-job after being involved with the club for three decades, working as club secretary for five seasons. She said with new and experienced faces on the committee for 2022, the club was in good shape. Harrow-Balmoral senior footballers and netballers finished third in 2021 and many club leaders have tipped

BACK AT IT AGAIN: Harrow-Balmoral netball leaders stand ready for the 2022 season. From left, A Grade coach Kirby Knight, junior co-ordinator Lauren Mason, netball committee member Courtney Clough, C Grade coach Rachelle Slabbert, junior co-ordinator Mel Mathews, and B Grade coach Kaddie Cother with Jack. them to be there-abouts again in 2022. Netball director Tim Leeming said many new faces had arrived at the club this pre-season and there was plenty of numbers at training across all netball grades. He said many new players were young, which was great for the club. Mr Leeming echoed Mrs Hobbs’ sentiment about getting the community back together through community sport. “It was pretty ordinary over the past few seasons, but it has reinforced the bones of why sport is so important for country communities and we want to appreciate that this year,” he said. Leeming said it was about bringing

things back to basics – having fun, being competitive and developing players. “These factors build viability. We also feel we have a responsibility to develop young players,” he said. “We don’t want young talent sitting on the bench. We are lucky we have a great line-up of junior coaches, which is where we want to place an emphasis, as our junior program will build longevity.” Leeming also praised the experience of incoming A Grade coach Kirby Knight, who will take the senior coaching reigns in 2022. He said with a couple of good recruits to the A Grade team’s mid-court

brigade and the chance for some under-17 selection, the top side was in good shape. Re-signing senior football coach Nick Pekin said because the COVID-19 disruptions were ‘deflating’, he would emphasise an enjoyment philosophy this season. “The more enjoyment for players and spectators, the more success that will follow. We want to get everyone back to enjoying football – we all just want to play,” he said. Pekin said given previous season COVID-19 interruptions, his side remained reigning Horsham district premier. “We are still the hunted and we don’t

mind that. We will take all that in our stride,” he said. He said new recruits would be great, however they would miss the services of the Deutscher brothers Connor, Cody and Ben, who left the club this season. “Our younger players before the pandemic are now hitting their 20s and perhaps looking to go that bit extra now. They haven’t yet tasted success like our older players, so that will drive us forward,” he said. “We have a healthy amount of talls, not as many as previous seasons, so we might want to get away from kicking the down line – even though we could do that if we wanted. “If we can use those short kicks on the 45, hold possession and play corridor footy, things will work out well. “But until we get to match day, we really just don’t know how we will go.” Pekin also wanted to recognise the success of the Southern Roos’ homegrown talent Eric Guthrie who tied for the Northern Territory Football League’s best and fairest this week – the Nichols Medal – in his first season for NTFL club Palmerston. “He is a born and bred local, a gun player and his success was worth a mention from our club, well done,” he said.

Horsham Saints

in 2022

Saints reconnecting BY MICHAEL SCALZO

orsham Saints have so often provided an elite-athlete breeding ground.

Leaders hope to continue the club’s pre-pandemic competitiveness and ‘reconnect’ with community in the 2022 Wimmera Football Netball League season. The Saints’ senior football side finished fourth in the disrupted 2021 season and in a ‘normal’ season would have secured a finals spot. The A Grade netball side finished seventh and would not have made the finals cut in regular programming. Club president Scott Bond said his hope for the 2022 season was a return to a full season’s play and the competitive community sporting scene ‘we used to know’. “We enter the 2022 season with the hope we can fulfil the entirety of the season after the abrupt end to the 2021 season,” he said. “With restrictions lightening to some extent, it gives us the opportunity to get back to some normality and provides an opportunity to reconnect with everyone.” Mr Bond said the club had secured Greater Western Rebels head coach David Loader to present to the committee and coaches on fostering a ‘full’ club leadership connection. “We are keen to create a connect-

ed community within our club. It proved to be a fantastic opportunity to work on our leadership and coaching skills,” Mr Bond said. He said planning had begun on infrastructure development at the club’s home facilities, Coughlin Park. “It enables planning for further improvements to an already attractive facility. The playing surface is looking in great shape and is complemented with infrastructure improvements such as the completion of the picket fence, recent Coughlin Park Bowls Clubs synthetic rinks and further St Brigid College infrastructure improvements,” he said. With former Horsham Saint Ella Friend making her AFLW debut for St Kilda this season, and Saints footballers Joel Freijah and William Taylor making the 45-player strong Greater Western Rebels under-19 squad, the club continues to churn out prospective football talent. Mr Bond said it was a great start to the year, with Friend getting the chance to debut with St Kilda and continuing to perform really well. Returning senior football coach David Johns said as a chance for a full season grew stronger, motivation would be factor for all Wimmera league sides. “It has been a succession of long pre-seasons over the past three years,” he said.

“We have played just a few games in that time and motivation has been a really hard factor. We all have been training and pre-season training for a long time, that’s all we have done. “But as the season gets closer now, with our first practice game this week, everyone is starting to get up and about with the sense there won’t be any more lockdowns and a full season of games will be available.” Johns said there was a defensive mindset across the competition, but his side would aim to be more attacking and play more free-flowing football. “We have been tinkering with things but not tipping everything upside down. You can’t over complicate things, you have to keep it simple. Most players play for the love of the game, they are not professional players,” he said. “Simplicity allows easy transition between reserves and seniors as well. With similar game styles, it means there can be an easy transition between the two.” Johns said the football department would continue promoting players up the grades as much as possible, especially from the under-17s side to senior teams to ‘expedite’ development. He said the competition knew how the Saints played football. “They all know how we play. They know we are really good defensively

Horsham Saints netballers line up for an Anzac Day service before taking on Horsham Demons in a 2021 Anzac Day game. and know they are going to get a hard game when they play us,” he said. “We have been sitting mid-table for a few years and we want to motivate the entire playing group and coaching staff to get the side up the ladder. Finals is a goal of every football team, but when we are closer to that possibility, we will think more about it.” New senior netball coach Jess Cannane said success this season would come from work ethic. “Because we are a shorter side, we want to play good defensive netball. That brand will start with our A Grade netballers and follow through into our other grades and junior teams. We

have a talented group of players, but speed and defence will be our two keys,” she said. Cannane said 90 percent of the 2021 playing list had returned. “Those extra spots made available in 2022 squads is a great opportunity for under-17s players to show what they can offer,” he said. She said Saints netballers prided themselves on being there at the end of the season. “The side wouldn’t have made finals last season, if there was a finals season, and we want to change that this year. As soon as we get a sniff of finals, we will be off,” she said.

Early pacesetters T

BY DAVID BERRY

here are some new faces at the top of the table across all grades after three rounds of Volleyball Horsham’s summer season.

Malachy O’Brien’s Breakers are leading the charge in the junior division, with three wins from as many starts. O’Brien has organised his team well and the benefit of regular training for academy players such as Jasper Ponseca, Cass Buckley and Paige Millar is showing as they play a team game each week. Hot on their heels are the Murtoa Gods who are well led by Brydon McPhee, Jett King and Matilda Gawith. In C Grade, Chloe Mackley’s Party Rockers are early pacesetters with three wins from four games. Mackley is well supported by Pat Pignataro and Jean Ponseca. Heidelberg is close behind with the Young boys, Logan, Haidyn and Jiedan all improving each week. The smokies on this division is the team from Holy Trinity Lutheran College ‘Block It Like It’s Hot’. The year-12 students are gelling well and have some real talent in their team including Tayte Wardle,

Oliver Sykes and Mia Bell. Coach Matt McLoughlin is doing a great job with this group. In B Grade, Mark Radford’s new-look Phantom Masters are undefeated after three rounds. Radford has a good mix of youth and experience in his team with Tim O’Donnell and Alan Pignataro lending all their experience to the youthful Kirah Smith and Sean Brazendale. The HTLC Raiders are the danger team in this division with the likes of Kaden Lanyon and Oscar Jackman leading the way, ably supported by Harry Robertson and Ethan Heard. In A Reserve, while there is a familiar look at the top of the table with Heidelberg, Waterhammers and Von Steiger Shadows occupying the top three positions, Mark Block’s Blockparty and the young Murtoa team are not too far away. This team will improve as each week goes by, keeping the top three on their toes. Blockparty pushed Heidelberg all the way last round and introduced former star Murtoa juniors in Maddie McQueen and Gemma Morgan to the team. When these two get a few more games under their belts, the improvement will come. In A Grade, Hellenic Nuggets

have stormed to the top of the table with three straight wins, but will now go into a two-week phase without their captain Dimitrios Vettos. The Nuggets will miss the experience of Vettos putting pressure on setter Tim Carter and the big-hitting Ben Wilde to maintain the range for the ladder leaders. Rangers have slipped into second spot after accounting for Heidelberg last round and with Hannah Whyte setting consistently, Joey Nagorcka hitting plenty of winners and Clay Heard assuming his middle attacking position and working well with Whyte, the Rangers will be a danger team. The association had its annual meeting last week and I am pleased to be returned as president. The committee has a good blend of youth and experience as I’m ably supported by Vaughn Maroske, Dimitrios Vettos and Tim Carter. Kara Johnson and Mercedes Arnott make up a strong committee, but there is still a vacancy we need to fill. If there are any females who would like to contribute to the ongoing success of Volleyball Horsham by becoming a committee member you would be made most welcome. Just contact me with your expression of interest.

Jason Muldoon

AFL leadership change AFL Victoria’s Wimmera-Mallee leadership chair has become vacant with Jason Muldoon set to shift into a new role as AFL Goldfields and AFL Western District regional manager. Mr Muldoon said he had accepted the position as a result of opportunities created in an AFL Victoria organisational restructure. “This new role presents a fantastic opportunity for me to continue my career and development with the AFL,” he said. Mr Muldoon, who started with AFL Victoria Wimmera Mallee as football development manager in 2013, thanked all involved with his tenure in the region. “I have met some fantastic people over my nearly nine years in the region. I will

be forever thankful for the opportunities and friendships that I have formed over that time,” he said. “The past couple of years have been challenging to say the least, but it has reinforced that the football and netball leagues and clubs form the centrepiece of our communities. I am very proud to have stood with you all to get through the toughest period the game has ever seen.” Mr Muldoon said his understanding was that AFL Victoria would soon start advertising for his replacement in the Wimmera-Mallee. “I will have a transition period that will allow me to finish off a few projects and to make the transition for a replacement as smooth as possible.”

Edenhope meet cut short I

BY JOSH MILLER

t was a case of shocking timing for Edenhope Race Club on Saturday, whose ill-fated meeting was abandoned following the running of race three on the card.

Jockeys raised concerns over a section of track around the 1300-metre mark and, following an inspection by stewards and senior jockeys, the rest of the meeting was called off. This left the large crowd disappointed and the club devastated. Club manager Tammy Pretlove said there was no way anyone could foresee the issue. “We were inspected 10 days prior to the meeting as always. We were then inspected again for track ratings on Friday and Saturday. Nothing showed up

– nothing could show up,” she said. “You could walk the track a thousand times and never pick it up.” High rain totals and ageing underground infrastructure appear to be factors in Saturday’s events. “With the amount of rain we’ve had, it made the ground a little shifty over a culvert. The joins of the culvert appear to have moved and lost dirt through them, which is where the ground looks to have sunk,” Pretlove explained. “Walking the track, you could never notice it, but putting a thousand kilograms of pressure through a thoroughbred’s legs, that’s when these things can show up. The stewards made the right call.” It was shaping to be a great day of racing, with about 800

patrons on course. The challenge now is to assess the damage to the track and have it race-ready for the Apsley Cup meeting on the June long weekend. “We’ll have a clearer picture by the end of the week of what we need to do to fix the problem and be ready for June,” Pretlove said.

All-Star Mile

The richest mile race in the world, the All-Star Mile, will have a hint of Wimmera flavour to it this year with local connections involved with two runners in the event. Peter Moody-trained Lightsaber is part-owned by Horsham’s Peter Cross, who is bullish about his colt’s chances in the $5 million race. “I honestly think he’s a really good chance, I really do. As

Pete said, we wouldn’t run him if we didn’t think he was a genuine hope.” Cross was entrusted with representing the Lightsaber camp at the official barrier draw on Tuesday. “Anything from barrier six down I’m hoping for,” he said. “His best chance in the race is to get to the front and dictate.” Paul Preusker’s Group One winning horse Lunar Fox has also gained entry into the $5-million race, and the McKenzie Creek operation will be hoping their runner can replicate or better his fourth position in this race last year. The son of Foxwedge has been underwhelming in two runs this prep but should be ready to peak third-up for the feature event at Flemington on Saturday.

Wimmera representative bowls team selected Officials have announced Wimmera representative bowls sides set to compete at Bowls Victoria Region Sides Championships in Moama and Echuca from April 6 to 10. Wimmera Region Side, Men: Lead; Geoff Bald, Horsham Golf; Daniel Pettifer, Donald Golf; Daniel Mahoney, Aradale. Second;

BOX ONE Saturday night saw the curtain drawn on a massive two weeks for Horsham Greyhound Club. During the past 14 days the club has presented four race meetings with feature races including the Group Two Horsham Cup and the Sylvia Penny Memorial Final on Saturday night. Sylvia was the heartbeat of Horsham Greyhound Club for more than 30 years in which she dedicated herself as a volunteer. There was no job Sylvia didn’t try her hand at during her time at the club, and this is the reason the function centre is named in her honour. It was fitting that on the night of Sylvia’s Race the club could follow her theme of giving back by presenting 13 community grants to Wimmera organisations and groups, something of which I’m sure Sylvia would have been proud. Representatives from almost all of the 13 organisations attended the night and between races club manager Justin Brilliant and president Ian Bibby presented the cheques to each group. Originally slated as a $10,000 project, the

response was simply overwhelming and unfortunately the club couldn’t approve all of the applications, but did stretch the budget out to $14,000. We see this as a great investment back into our community. With the overwhelming success of the project, the club will look to do a second round of grants sometime during the next six months and encourages those unsuccessful on this occasion to re-apply. The club could not have wished for better conditions on the night, with warm balmy conditions and the live music of Aaron Murray playing between races. With children playing mini golf and jumping on the bouncing castles it was the perfect finish to the carnival. The club raffled off two major items, a $500 EB Games voucher and a $1200 Webcon Marine package. All patrons could enter via a QR code on entry and all persons following the club’s Facebook promotion of the event were entered into the draw. Over the coming weeks the club will be featuring individual grant recipients to shine a light on their projects. – Peter Carter

Watts dominates track A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Horsham rider who dominated an MX Amateurs championship on his home track at the weekend looms as a major threat at state championships this weekend. Cory Watts clinched victory in various events at Dooen at the weekend, including Horsham Motorcyle Club’s prestigious Bronte Holland Memorial 125 Cup. He also won the A Grade all-power class and a team event with brother Dylan Watts and his friend Mackay Baker. Cory Watts also won a pit-bike classic on Sunday under lights. Watts was part of a 180-strong field of riders who took part in two days of intense Labour Day weekend racing on the Dooen circuit. Riders provided between 500 and 1000 spectators with often spectacular exhibitions of dirt-bike action during the event. Horsham Motorcyle Club spokesman and national motocross official Mark Hancock said Watts had been training hard for the past couple of months and was a future leader in the sport. “He is a qualified coach and I think he is a leader for the next generation of riders,” he said.

Guthrie success Former Harrow-Balmoral midfielder and home-grown Wimmera man Eric Guthrie has tied for the 2021-22 Nichols Medal, Northern Territory Football League’s highest individual honour. Guthrie, the Southern Roos’ 2019 bestand-fairest winner, tied with Nightcliff Tigers’ Daniel Bowles for the Territory’s league best-and-fairest medal on 14 points. It was Guthrie’s first season in the NTFL. He joined Palmerston Magpies, formerly North Darwin, for the 2021-22 season and is the club’s first Nichols Medal winner since the name-change in 1996.

Tennis presentations

FIERCE: Daniel Figueroa competes in a MX A and B Grade event during the 2022 MX Amateurs at Dooen. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Mr Hancock said Watts was different to other riders because of his acute ability to read the track, describing the skill as being similar to a cricketer being able to read how a pitch might play. “Throughout an event the track is ever-changing – he has an ability that the average rider doesn’t have to read a track and ride to conditions,” he said.

Mr Hancock said Watts, despite riding as an individual without the support of a major company team, produced a performance ‘a class above’ many national riders at the event. “Cory has put everything on the line for his racing career,” he said. Mr Hancock said he saw Watts becoming a top-five competitor in Victoria and a top-10 rider nationally, adding he believed he would be

favourite to win the upcoming Victorian Senior Motocross Championship starting in Wodonga. “I am expecting no less than topfive for him.
