Sports hamstrung D

BY DEAN LAWSON

esperate community football and netball leaders were hoping for a last-minute reprieve from a tightening of COVID-19 restrictions as they prepared for spectator-free games across the Wimmera-Mallee.

Wimmera and Horsham District league administrators expressed a mixture of disappointment, frustration and anger this week as they considered the fall-out from latest regional crowd-restriction advice.

Changes to AFL Victoria return-totraining-and-games protocols based on State Government restrictions forwarded to leagues on Saturday removed venue-capacity limitations. They instead included a ban on all patrons except the minimum number of officials to run games and parents or guardians of junior competitors. League officials, trying to organise and manage community teams from across much of western Victoria, had expected further easing instead of strengthening of restrictions. Amid anxiety involving everything

from logistics to serious mental-health and financial issues, Wimmera Football Netball League clubs, which navigated through already tight restrictions last weekend, voted to push on with games this weekend. Horsham District Football Netball League, which had scheduled a return to games this weekend, met last night to assess the new set of circumstances. Wimmera league chair Pauline Butler was as equal in her praise for club willingness to try to cope with the restrictions squeeze as she was scathing of the direction.

“Clubs have committed to playing under the new rules, which is fantastic news, but it means there will be no spectators apart from parents of children under 18,” she said. “In returning players to the grounds and courts they are going to take a major financial hit and we can’t thank them enough. “I can’t express my degree of disappointment. We will be shouting from the rooftops to say how unfair this has been for regional Victoria. It is putting clubs in jeopardy, which also has implications for communities.

“Last week, with a 150-per-venue cap it was far from ideal. But it was doable and the clubs worked brilliantly to make it happen. But this now is ridiculous. “The State Government must look at regional Victoria differently to Melbourne. “We are not metropolitan, we are regional and must be treated as such.” National and state health authorities have long warned of the potential dangers of community sport in spreading COVID-19.

The City Oval/Sawyer Park precinct redevelopment project is one of seven included in the City to River Masterplan, and is the second to progress after the riverfront activation reached detailed planning stage in 2020.

As part of the City Oval draft designs, the size of the playing field would be expanded. But the idea of reorientating the oval has been omitted due to a lack of public support.

A pop-up expo at Jubilee Hall this month will allow residents to seek information and contribute to projects currently underway in Horsham Rural City Council. The Why We Live Here expo will run from Thursday 24 June to Tuesday 29 June, with Council staff on hand to discuss projects that aim to improve the liveability and vibrancy of our region.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST Skate Park Planning Community Reference Group Council is seeking community members to work closely with Council staff and develop a practical plan for the Skate Park that works for all. Expressions of Interest close 5pm on Friday 2 July 2021. Community Reference Group members must: - Bring a passion and vision for the area - Be open and collaborative because not every idea will work for everyone - Treat other members with respect - Commit to regular meetings and be actively engaged If you would like to express your interest in being a Community representative please scan the QR code below and complete a short survey. Contact David Hwang on 5382 9509 or email david.hwang@hrcc.vic.gov.au for more information.

Why are people going to make the decision to move to Horsham Rural City? One of the biggest challenges is attracting and retaining the staff qualified to the many job vacancies across a variety of industries. The second would be the access to housing. Affordable housing across the whole market from entry level to executive level. We also want investment in our city. In recent weeks there will be people in our community who will have lost shifts which means loss of income and business who could not open their door so have lost revenue. There are many ways we can support our local community. We can thank our local businesses when making a purchase and acknowledging all the Covid safe measures they have in place along with ensuring we have registered with the QR code. We have many and varied organisations who can assist those in our community who are struggling financially due to the recent lock down. One of those organisations is Christian Emergency Food Centre, they ensure no one goes hungry with care and compassion. Please support our businesses and support agencies if you are able too.

Input critical in progress T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he leader of a community group that has developed concept plans for a city ovalSawyer Park precinct overhaul has urged Horsham people to consider the ideas and have their say.

Community reference group chairman Jeff Both said he believed plans the group had developed were achievable and now was the time for broader residents to provide input. The group, involving a large percentage of precinct user-group representatives, has been working on the project since late last year. The city oval and Sawyer Park precinct development project is one of seven projects in an overall Horsham Rural City Council City to River Masterplan. It represents a second stage of the masterplan after a River Activation Project, which is already underway. Mr Both, a life member of Horsham Football Netball Club, a traditional long-time tenant at Horsham City Oval, said there was aspects of the development that would draw both negative and positive community responses. “The work from the community reference group was quite good. There was a camaraderie that developed between participants and considerable dialogue and analysis,” he said. “What we know is that you can’t please all the people all the time – you just have to work with everyone

HAVE YOUR SAY: Community reference group chairperson Jeff Both, pictured at Horsham City Oval, encourages community input into concept plans for the precinct. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER going forward and that is the stage we’re at,” he said. “There will be negatives from some parts of the community, no doubt about it, and going forward there is still a lot to play out. Conceptual plans are available on the council website and will be on display in Jubilee Hall for people to consider. “It’s an old cliché, but the challenge of change will be facing people in using the area.” Mr Both agreed the blueprint ideas involved replacement of all major infrastructure at the city oval, including ageing sports pavilions and grand stand and the removal of inappropriate or obsolete buildings to make way for modern and expanded facilities. A three-metre north-south expansion of the reserve’s oval will meet

high-level sporting requirements including football and cricket and enhanced netball provisions. Plans so far do not include practice cricket nets, which have long been a subject of discussion among the district’s cricket fraternity. Mr Both also pointed out that a key aspect of the plans was establishing ways to fully integrate the city oval and neighbouring Sawyer Park for expansive community festivals and events. This included provision for a covered central stage area joining the two reserves near a scoreboard on Hocking Street and facing both directions. This would be in addition to Horsham Soundshell. “Existing fencing will go, but there will be new modern, multi-entrance arrangements to allowed for greater

access and ticketed events,” Mr Both said. Sawyer Park’s miniature railway also forms a key part of the concept plans and Horsham’s evolving cenotaph is also considered in the design. “It’s all very exciting from the point of view that the community will have a really nice facility going forward. It will add a sense of newness to the town and be great for the community and major events. For the moment, here are the plans, so have your say,” Mr Both said. After community input leads to a finalisation of plans later this year, Horsham Rural City Council will pursue funding opportunities to start turning the concepts into a reality. A public expo on the project will be in Jubilee Hall in Horsham later this month.

Sports clubs humstrung From page 1 “We of course understand that COVID-19 is a mighty beast and have complied time after time while being placed in the same bag as Melbourne,” Ms Butler said. “The truth is there is a major difference between metropolitan and regional Victoria and what’s worse is the disconnect and understanding surrounding this. “Our competitions aren’t the same as many Melbourne sports. They are much more than simply participating teams and there is often considerable travelling and all the associated issues involved with this. “It is not just a case of drop off and drive off. We have a duty of care to all players, not just children. “If an issue became apparent with the pandemic we would obviously jump straight on board, but we haven’t had one. When there is no justification, I just don’t get it.” Ms Butler said it would be hard to contain the anger of many if a big crowd was allowed to attend an AFL match between Western Bulldogs and Geelong in the ‘regional’ centre of Geelong. “We’ll be watching that very closely,” she said. “At the end of the day we’re all trying to look after our communities and what is happening is not looking after community in any shape or form.” Ms Butler said Wimmera league, to compensate for the absence of spectators this weekend, was working on providing live telecasts of senior football games via its Facebook page. Horsham District league chairman Fred Mellington, meanwhile, echoed Ms Butler’s sentiment. “How can we possibly go backwards? And what’s the reasoning in sneaking it through covertly on Saturday arvo? And where is the explanation?” he said. “I’m beyond being angry. I’m absolutely gutted. What is the incomprehensible reasoning or lack of reasoning behind the decision? “We were comfortable to not play last weekend assuming restrictions would start to gradually ease from week to week until we had clear skies moving forward. “We all agree with a need for and adhere to social distancing, but considering our regional circumstance this going too far. “I might be naïve in thinking things were going to get better, because the absolute opposite has landed in our lap. “I would be far happier to have no season at all than to have an ambiguous set of rules based on a simple lack of understanding of how things work in the regions. It feels like we’re being punished for a crime we’ve never committed.” Both leagues intended to plead their case to authorities for last-minute changes to the protocols before this weekend.

New program to empower parents BY SARAH MATTHEWS

est Wimmera Health Service has launched a regionfirst day-stay program designed to provide extra support for parents and their young children.

Service maternal and child health nurse Mandy Stephan said the organisation had joined forces with Tweddle Child and Family Health Service to deliver the Hindmarsh Day Stay Program at Nhill. She said the program would be open to parents throughout the Wimmera-southern Mallee who needed a ‘safe and welcoming space’ to seek support. She said she was thrilled to see the program come to life after much research and work to develop it for the region. “I’ve been pushing for a program

like this for a long time, because I’ve seen a gap in the services we offer in the region,” she said. “The closest day-stay program is in Terang and you can certainly appreciate how needing to travel affects families who are looking for additional support. “The program looks at the whole daily cycle spent with young children and provides practical strategies to empower parents and children to thrive when they are back in their own home. “The nurses involved will be supported by the Tweddle education program. It’s an accredited program, both by Tweddle and Maternal and Child Health Service Victoria.” The program will run from 9am to about 3.30pm and involve an opportunity to gain understanding and

practical strategies to deal with parenting difficulties such as settling and sleep, breast or formula feeding and nutrition. Mrs Stephan said parents would also have an opportunity to talk to other parents experiencing similar challenges, understand their child’s development and behaviour and discuss health and wellbeing issues. “During the day stay, the nurses will support the parents, offer different strategies and encourage parents to be curious about their children and enjoy being a parent,” she said. “Being a parent is constant, you don’t get a day off. Some parents need a bit of extra help to stop and observe their child, read their cues and respond in an appropriate manner.” Mrs Stephan said navigating parenthood could be both overwhelming and

Raffle money to support families Wimmera-Mallee residents will have a chance to win a Ford Ranger Double Cab Pick-Up in an ACE Radio Network raffle, with all proceeds going to children in need. The network hopes to raise $150,000 for Variety the Children’s Charity, which supports children living with a disability, facing sickness or experiencing disadvantage. ACE Horsham general manager Brendan O’Loughlin said the raffle represented an opportunity to give back to people in need after the COVID-19 pandemic paused fundraising opportunities last year. “From a network point of view we’re highly conscious that charities are doing it a bit tough because they haven’t been able to get out and fundraise in the normal means they would,” he said. “This is the sixth year ACE Radio has been officially involved with Variety. Throughout that time we’ve increased our involvement. Last year we raffled a Toyota Yaris, which resulted in an $80,000 contribution.” The radio network’s raffle ties into the char-

ity’s Variety Vic Bash, Australia’s longest running charity motoring event. The 10-day campaign, finishing on August 20 in Great Keppel Island, Queensland, is an event known for the millions of dollars raised for the charity. Mr O’Loughlin said participating teams would stop over in communities across the east coast of Australia, providing a range of much-needed equipment to schools and organisations along the way. “As well as doing the work of the charity, the event supports schools and communities with children who need assistance,” he said. “This year there’s about 130 cars participating. The money that contributes to accommodation, food and entertainment while we’re passing through these towns is massive.” Network chief executive Mark Taylor, radio host Jon Vertigan and engineering projects manager Ray Baker will be among ACE Radio network participants in this year’s bash.

The podcast has been nominated for an Australian Men’s Health Award in the ‘best content creator-community builder’ category. The Outback Mind Podcast has more than 12,000 followers and 55 episodes, including several featuring Wimmera guests. Mr Schultz started the podcast to help save lives. “It’s been well supported by people who have concern for men’s mental wellbeing from all states and territories,” he said.

“I’m honoured to be shortlisted for the best content creator for the Australian Men’s Health Awards. It’s great to see the podcast is helping a few people across the nation and creating a culture to improve self-awareness through others’ stories and lived experience.” Mr Schultz’s podcast is among nine nominees for the award, which ‘celebrates the great work of content creators and community builders, whose work aims to improve men and boys’ lives and health’. Mr Schultz encouraged people to visit the Australian Men’s Health Forum website, www.amhf.org. au/2021_men_s_health_awards_best_content_ creator to vote.

“We will see how it all pans out, but hopefully the program can be extended. “For now, we are planning to run the program on a Friday, but when you start a new program, it needs to be flexible – so it will be.” Tweddle chief executive Jacquie O’Brien said she was excited about the new Hindmarsh day-stay program, which would ensure regional families could access high-quality support for their babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. “We know the new program will serve parents in the west Wimmera region well and will help babies and their families to thrive in the crucial early months and years of life,” she said.

isolating. “This new program is here to let parents know they don’t have to do it alone,” she said. “We also offer support and information to parents about looking after themselves, which is very important. If you are happy and well, your child is going to be happy and well. “There is no cost involved, parents will just need to bring food for themselves and their child, if they are eating, and the child’s bedding. “We have domestic cots we can use for settling.” The program will run out of Nhill Early Years Centre for the time being. “At the moment, we are trying to source a venue,” Mrs Stephan said. “Ideally, it would be great to have a house to lease, because if we had three or four bedrooms, we could have more families.

As well as general wiring, we service and repair evaporative coolers, electric stoves and install telephone, data and TV points.

A value in advocates

hose of us old enough to remember would recall the advocacy power of the former Victorian Country Football League.

The VCFL was at one stage easily the largest football organisation in Australia and had a primary objective to look after the interests of its leagues, clubs, players and, critically, the regional communities they supported. At times it wielded so much influence that, from at least a representative perspective, it ranked alongside the VFL-AFL as more of a peer than an underling. On reflection, the VCFL probably inadvertently rated as one of the most influential regional organisations in the country. At its peak, there was never any doubt who it barracked for and it always seemed to have the ear of state political leaders. And for good reason. The VCFL, which tapped into the power of volunteerism and was also a netball representative by de-

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson fault, had such an indelible connection with communities it could provide accurate and broad insight into what was happening in or important to various parts of ‘the sticks’. A power struggle between football’s various bodies led by a burgeoning national competition was always going to erode the VCFL. The AFL eventually consumed it into its rationalised tiered pathways and structures. While the VCFL was a long way from being perfect and in the end even appeared pointless, some of us can’t help but wish we had something similar in place now – to be that powerful advocate or champion.

Regional leagues and clubs, still the backbone of many communities, are trying to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, many on behalf of struggling towns and districts. Having a similar unofficial, on-the-ground conduit directly connecting regional communities to the powers of Spring Street, free of any overarching influencing overseers, might have gone some way to easing much of the anxiety, stress, sense of ambiguity, confusion and abandonment league and club leaders might be feeling at the moment. Understanding, from all perspectives, is a key to getting everyone to ‘sing from the same hymn book’. If all involved in footy and netball and communities in general had confidence in decisions being made in Melbourne, they wouldn’t have a problem. This is not to denigrate AFL Victoria. It tends to provide strong professional support and direction for the regions as a sporting peak body. But it’s not the same.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Disgusted and powerless

SIR, – Last week, as we witnessed the destruction caused by wind and flooding rains in other areas of Victoria, with the loss of trees and damage to homes and properties, Horsham residents breathed a sigh of relief at being spared such devastation. Then we heard of Horsham Rural City Council plans to remove the avenue of sugar gums in Natimuk Road, from Hillary Street to Bennett Road. This comes soon after the destruction of a large number of healthy street trees, leaving many areas almost totally devoid of vegetation to enhance streetscapes and provide welcome relief from hot summers and ever-increasingly dry years. Natimuk Road is probably the most attractive entrance to our city and soon will become a bare and barren area, similar to many of our streets. More trees are no doubt headed for the chop in the area of the proposed water-play park, which should have been located at the aquatic centre. Similarly, other trees will be in the way of a café, which apparently we desperately need, at the end of Firebrace Street near the caravan park. Is our council really determined to increase global warming? What of Horsham’s carbon footprint? We have lived in Horsham for 40 years. We see basic needs for ratepayers such as green-waste bins and diverting the cavalcade of huge trucks passing through the town, take years and years to be resolved. Meanwhile, projects to increase tourism seem to take priority. We are extremely disgusted and disappointed with this current and previous council and their team of bureaucrats who clearly have significant sway in many of the decisions that are made. ‘Community consultation’ processes and committees that supposedly respect the wishes of the community are a sham. The council seems to do what it wants to do anyway. We are angry, disappointed and extremely sad with these actions. Above all, we feel a complete sense of powerlessness when the views of dissenting residents are either paid minimal lip service or completely ignored. Rhonda and Mike Coffey Horsham

What about households?

SIR, – More financial packages for small business and tourism operators. What about household economic stimulus packages? We need to vote for the independent or micro-party that can cut the best deals with the coalitions. B. Quince Ararat

Business Horsham ambassador Stacey Taig said Horsham Rural City Council provided funding for the cards to stimulate business activity in the municipality. “We would like to extend a special thank-you to the council for their acknowledgement of our business community’s contribution to Horsham and the Wimmera,” she said. Ms Taig also thanked Business Horsham members for their ongoing membership and support of the business community. “Our work goes beyond individuals, and we are starting to make some incredible steps forward, which is largely due to your membership and ongoing participation with Business Horsham,” she said. “There are exciting times ahead, and great projects that will benefit our community as a whole. “We are thrilled that you are joining us for this journey and will always be grateful to our members for their ongoing support.” Ms Taig said the Shop Horsham gift cards could be used by business owners or staff, ‘perhaps as a reward for great service’. People can visit business horsham.com.au for more information about the gift cards and a list of participating businesses.

vent cancellations and economic losses over the long weekend have prompted a Wimmera publican to call on the State Government for greater business support.

Royal Hotel Horsham publican Grant Fiedler is among thousands of regional Victorian business owners feeling the impact of tightened COVID-19 restrictions. The business has been forced to cancel many of its functions and is limited to a maximum of 75 patrons in the venue under COVID density rules that were reintroduced earlier this month. The government also made QR checkins compulsory at all workplaces. Mr Fiedler said restrictions forced him to postpone a live music event over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, which represented a major loss in revenue for his business. “We had two bands organised to play on the Saturday night,” he said. “It was easier to cancel because we couldn’t have the numbers that we needed to make it a viable event. “This was the first time this year that we had organised live music.” Mr Fiedler said South Australian border restrictions and a 25-kilometre travel bubble for Melburnians was causing a significant reduction in customers. “The biggest impact has been no travellers,” he said. “We haven’t had people travelling between Melbourne and Adelaide. They would often stay in our accommodation and have a meal at the pub. “However, during the circuit-breaker lockdown we did do take away meals that were supported by the community, which we are very appreciative of.”

Support Packages

The State Government’s Business Costs Assistance Program is providing payments of $5000 to eligible small and medium-sized businesses affected by two weeks of restrictions. A Licensed Hospitality Venues Fund also provided grants of $3500 for regional hospitality businesses and $7000 for Melbourne businesses. Mr Fiedler said his business was eligible for a support payment, but he was calling for greater support to help his staff back into work. “Without having JobKeeper and the numbers of customers we have coming into the pub, there’s less hours available for staff to work,” he said. “We’ve got to scale down to make

sure the venue can run viably.” Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said there was still a high percentage of businesses that were ineligible for business support grants. “Sole traders who don’t pay themselves a salary or have an employer and earn less than $75,000 are not eligible for any small business grants,” she said. “Arguably these are some of the businesses that have been hardest hit by the restrictions. “For the government to look away and not help them out just because they don’t earn enough is really cruel.” Ms Kealy said Wimmera businesses that relied on travellers had seen a significant reduction in trade. “Businesses that have been most hard hit have been the ones on the highway

Open until 6pm weekdays and noon on Saturdays

that rely on commuter traffic between Victoria and South Australia,” she said “South Australia still has really tough border rules for travellers – it’s been really difficult for those businesses for a long time.” Ms Kealy is calling on the State Government to reassess how it manages future lockdowns in Victoria. “Any response to how the virus is managed should be proportionate to where the COVID-19 cases are and how many cases there are,” she said. “If all the cases are in Melbourne, then there should be absolutely no justification for restricting the activities, including business activities, in regional Victoria where we’re hundreds of kilometres away from any active cases.”

Disruptions affecting development W

BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera-Mallee dance and gym coaches navigating a spate of changes to COVID-19 restrictions say erratic lockdowns this year are affecting student learning.

While rules allowed physical activities to resume in regional Victoria late last week, strict participation limits remain. Horsham School of Dance is among indoor sporting groups limited to 50 people indoors and with a maximum of 10 people a group. School principal Karen Booker said the restrictions forced her to split the school of 130 students up into smaller lessons. “This hasn’t been easy to organise. We have to have another teacher available as well,” she said. “We have a limit of 10 children per class and parents won’t be allowed into the building. “Hopefully we can start practising for concerts we have scheduled for later in the year.” The dance school is planning ballet exams in September and its annual concert at Horsham Town Hall in October. However, Mrs Booker said students were finding it increasingly difficult to progress their dancing skills after the second Victorian lockdown this year. “It will be really good for the students to get back into some dancing this week after we had a bit of a rocky start to the year,” she said. “It’s like we have to start all over again every time we come back. “Some of the older students have coped really well, but I’ve found the younger ones have really struggled with it.”

Natimuk and District Gymnastic Club head coach Lynette Morrow said her 200 students had also felt the impact of reduced training hours due to the disruptions. “The limit on numbers has meant we’ve had to juggle class times to give everyone an equal opportunity to get back in the gym,” she said. She said the restrictions meant students had to ‘significantly’ reduce their training hours. “Some kids would normally train up to three times a week. Those kids will have to reduce those training days,” she said. “We have a policy where kids have to train for a minimum of two weeks before competition for the junior level and 28 days for senior level. “If they can’t get that in, competitions will continue to be put on hold due to the lockdowns.”

Unknown

Mrs Morrow said students were forced to withdraw from several competitions this month due to Melbourne restrictions. “We were supposed to be in Melbourne this weekend, but it’s been cancelled, and we don’t know what our competition season will look like going forward,” she said. “Last year, we only had one student, Remi Bailey, who competed in Melbourne.” Mrs Morrow said every week without training represented a major step backwards in each student’s development. “We’ve been in the gym far more than last year, but for the senior kids, every week they have off, they go back two,” she said. “This is a sport where you need to repeat your training to retain those skills.”

Ivy ‘generous in life and death’ Ivy King’s generosity in life and her legacy to the Kaniva community ‘she loved so much’ will be felt for many years to come. Members of Ivy’s family gathered outside Kaniva Hospital earlier this month to present West Wimmera Health Service a bequest of $228,633. Ivy’s family said she chose to continue her generosity after death, leaving a part of her estate to causes and places she valued most. The largest of these was Kaniva Hospital – a place where Ivy started and finished life; a place which cared for all her immediate family at some time; a place which saved the life of one of her brothers when she was 18; and a place which, during her later years, organised trips which she and her friend and later sister-in-law, Coral, enjoyed so much. Ivy requested the money be used to support the establishment of a dementia-friendly unit in Kaniva. Alternatively, she wished the funds to be used in the nursing home area of the Kaniva campus. Health service chief executive Ritchie Dodds said the service was grateful to receive the significant contribution to put towards improving Kaniva facilities. “Ivy contributed so much to so many good

E R ’ E W

causes throughout her long life and it’s fitting that her legacy will live on through this bequest,” he said. “Thank you to Ivy’s nephews Graeme and David King who initially raised the idea of a cheque presentation to bring Ivy’s family together to mark the occasion.” A short ceremony was staged to celebrate Ivy. Ivy May King was born 100 years ago at Kaniva Hospital into a very different world, where home-birth on the family farm at Lillimur had been the norm for her older brothers and sisters. A year ago, after a week of gentle care, she died there, completing the cycle, the last of her generation of the family. In life, Ivy treasured her community, both from what she gained from and gave to it. Ivy was a generous contributor across organisations and charities during the first half of her life in Lillimur, and the second half in Kaniva. West Wimmera Health Service is working closely with Kaniva Community Advisory Committee to progress funding support from the Department of Health for redevelopment of Kaniva Hostel to be co-located with the Kaniva nursing home, to provide much needed dementia care facilities in Kaniva.

Careers expo stays online BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera-southern Mallee students will have access to a wide range of employment, education and further education providers at next week’s Western Victorian Careers Expo.

Country Victoria’s largest careers expo, on Tuesday next week, will again be solely online, a decision organisers made back in January amid uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Project officer Annie Mintern said the decision had paid off, particularly given the current situation. “We had to run last year’s expo online and the feedback was really good,” she said. “A lot of the smaller schools in particular said they got more out of the virtual event than they did in person. “A lot of teachers said it was great because the students had to sit down and engage with the presentations. “At the in-person event, they might not make the most of the opportunities, so the online format is particularly good for students who are less engaged.” Ms Mintern said about 70 exhibitors would host online interactive webinars, including regional, metropolitan and interstate career, industry and course advisers. “I still have a few to chase up, but I think we will end up with a full schedule again, the same as last year,” she said. “We have a few new exhibitors lined up. For some reason, we’ve had a lot of interest for student accommodation places – that’s really taken off.

“We’ve also got McDonald’s coming along. They haven’t been involved for about 10 years, so that’s good.” Ms Mintern said Wimmera Southern Mallee LLEN would again have its own virtual room, focusing on trades and industry. “We did it last year and it went really well, so we thought we would bring it back again this year,” she said. “There’s a lot of interest in trades, as well as apprenticeships. We always have a lot of information about that because so many people choose to go down that path.” Ms Mintern said the Western Victorian Careers Expo was the major platform for information and advice for students in years nine to 12 in the Wimmera and southern Mallee. “The event also attracts participants from outside our local catchment and with the introduction of a virtual event we have the ability to reach schools across the state,” she said. “The expo provides important pathway information, to help students pick their subjects to ensure they are doing the ones required to get into the courses they want.”

Ben Brooksby

cause he’s not used to talking about his career path,” Ms Mintern said. “He will be talking about how he went from being a farmer to a mental-health advocate to all the other things he’s doing. “The theme of this year’s expo is ‘entrepreneurship’ and Ben falls into that category. He’s quite down to earth and approachable and I think he’ll be really good.” Mr Brooksby will address expo crowds during a lunch break at 12.30pm. “Last year a lot of the schools ran a big screen and the students ate their lunch while they watched the guest speaker,” Ms Mintern said. “I imagine it will be the same this year.” Ms Mintern said because students often shared screens, it was difficult to accurately gauge the number of participants.

Special guest

This year’s guest speaker is The Naked Farmer, Ben Brooksby, from St Helens Plains. The Naked Farmer is a social media movement designed to start ‘important conversations’ about mental health. Mr Brooksby uses the platform to raise money for Royal Flying Doctor Service’s mental-health programs. “Ben is someone a bit different, be-

“We usually get about 2500 people at the in-person event and we think we get even more online, because it is more accessible,” she said. “All the Wimmera-southern Mallee network schools are involved and I will also send out a broader email to schools not in our catchment. “Because the expo is online, it creates opportunity for further reach. Last year we had a Melbourne school participate, which was really good.” The expo will run from 9.30am to 3pm. Ms Mintern encouraged people to follow @westernviccareers on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to keep up to date with event information. Exhibitor registrations close on Friday. People can email admin@ wimmeracareersexpo.com or call Ms Mintern on 0419 300 405 to register or for more information.

Library upgrade Jeparit and district residents will have better access to library services following the completion of works on a new Jeparit Customer Service Centre and Library. The addition of a library space, replacing the previous mobile library model which visited two hours fortnightly, will provide residents with access to library services one-and-a-half days each week. Extensive changes to the building’s internal layout have resulted in a modern, multipurpose, user-friendly facility. Hindmarsh Shire Council chief executive Greg Wood said visitors to the centre were welcomed into a refurbished, open-plan customer service area via a newly created entry on the south side of the building. “A new all abilities accessible pathway, ramp and deck leads to an automatic door. Inside, visitors will see a new reception desk for council staff and a desk with computer terminals providing the community with free access to the internet,” he said. “A new doorway leads to the library area, a multipurpose space shared with the local senior citizens group and the Blue Ball billiards group. A large selection of reading materials will provide plenty of choice for avid readers to while away the hours, all in climate-controlled comfort with a new heating and cooling system included as a part of the development.” Mr Wood said a new kitchenette included a freestanding oven, along with greater protection of the billiard table. “The meeting room on the north side of the hall has also been enhanced with the addition of an internal access door to the foyer and library,” he said. Jeparit Customer Service Centre and Library is open from 9am to noon and 1pm to 5pm on Mondays and 9am to noon on Wednesdays. Mr Wood said the project was made possible with help from the Victorian government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure program and council.

Queen’s Birthday Honours

Recognition for service to medicine A

“It is certainly something that has taken me by surprise and I’m very grateful that someone deemed me appropriate for the award”

lifetime of dedication to medicine from a family base in Horsham has led to Alan Wolff winning Queen’s Birthday recognition.

Clinical Professor Wolff, 69, whose influence in the health-care industry has spread well beyond the Wimmera and Victoria, is among Order of Australia recipients, acknowledged for his service to medicine. Professor Wolff, forced into retirement by illness, was originally from Melbourne and with his wife Yvonne Cymbalist, also an award-winning and long-practising Horsham doctor, moved to Horsham in 1984. He said the couple, who raised two children in Horsham, had initially moved to the Wimmera for training and had intended to stay for only a handful of years. “We really liked the atmosphere. We thought we’d stay for five years and it has turned out to be longer than that,” he said. “We found it a very congenial place and with the team approach to things we found we could work with people on ideas and be able to progress them fairly simply – which was really good. “The town has been very supportive – it was one of the things that attracted me to Horsham – a place where you could do projects that were of benefit

– Professor Alan Wolff

SERVICE TO MEDICINE: Alan Wolff is among Queen’s Birthday honour recipients. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER to the community. It’s a pleasant place to live.” Professor Wolff said visits as a child to the doctor had sparked his initial inspiration for joining the medical profession, adding that technological advances, such as the development of imaging machinery and expertise, represented the biggest change he had seen during his time in medicine. He said he had been both honoured

and surprised with news of his OAM. “It is certainly something that has taken me by surprise and I’m very grateful that someone deemed me appropriate for the award,” he said. “It’s something that is very pleasing. I thank the community for all the support and Yvonne who has supported me and at the same time provided solo general-practice services.” Professor Wolff’s achievements,

roles and contributions to medicine are comprehensive. He was Wimmera Health Care Group medical services director from 1984 to 2020, its Clinical Pathway Program founder in 2000, Limited Adverse Occurrence Screening Program founder in 1989 and remains a general practitioner. In his work with the Department of Health Services Victoria he was a

member of Victorian Quality Council from 2001-2008 and Clinical Risk Management Reference Group and Sentinel Event Review sub-committee for nine years. He was also a founding member of Limited Adverse Occurrence Screening, LAOS. His professional appointments have included Clinical Professor with Deakin University’s Faculty of Health and being co-author of Enhancing Patient Care: a practical guide to improving quality and safety in hospitals, with Sally Taylor in 2009. He led a Commonwealth Department of Health and Family Services Medical Records Review, Integrated Quality Management Model Program as part of a National Hospital Outcomes Program and a Fellow of Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators, 2010, and Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. His broader community involvement includes membership with Rotary Club of Horsham East.

Queen’s Birthday Honours

Accolade for teacher

life-long Wimmera-Mallee teacher who has pursued a desire to promote the importance of the region’s service, involvement and sacrifice in the First World War is among recipients of Queen’s Birthday honours. Pam Cupper, 68, of Dimboola became a Member of the Order of Australia, OAM, on Monday for her service to education and the preservation of military history. A Dimboola resident for more than 30 years, married to Phil Taylor and with adult son Jim, now of Melbourne, Ms Cupper grew up at Yelta near the NSW border and started her teaching career at Hopetoun Secondary College in 1976. She spent three years at the southern Mallee school before she and her husband travelled to London, working and exploring the other side of the world where they became fascinated in First World War history and battlefields. Interest evolved into a passion and cycling tours of the Western Front and then a trip to Turkey and Gallipoli led to Ms Cupper working on the foundation of the first modern guidebook to the Gallipoli battlefield. “In 1980 few people went to Gallipoli and we said, ‘this place needs

a guide’ and that’s how it started,” she said. Researching and writing the book continued after the couple returned to Australia and Ms Cupper joined teaching staff, pursuing her professional passion as a history and geography teacher at Horsham High School in 1983. “There are obviously plenty of guidebooks now, but in 1989 it was pretty much the first one,” she said. She took on the role of leading teacher from 1999 to 2008 and returned to Hopetoun in an assistant principal role from 2010 to 2015 before retiring. “My teaching career started and ended at Hopetoun, but I did a lot of things in between,” she said. “I was always passionate about teaching and worked to preserve the teaching of history in schools. There was a time when it almost disappeared from the curriculum. I’m glad its back and it looks like it’s here to stay. “I suppose I’ve always wanted the kids to have as much interest in history as I have.”

Passion for history

Ms Cupper’s passion for history, particularly regional connections to the First World War, has led to her returning to Turkey on tours and presenting community seminars in the Wimmera.

“I’ve always tried to relate the war to the local area and community,” she said. “When you take people to grave sites where their grandfather, great uncle or other family members are buried it makes it all very immediate. “In 2017 I went on a tour with a group of western Victorians to the Western Front that involved some people from Hopetoun. “When a grave of Roy Mitchell from Hopetoun was pointed out the Hopetoun people immediately felt they knew him. “It had an immediacy. It made it very meaningful and a greater appreciation that went beyond more than just a name.” Ms Cupper said her award took her by surprise. “So much so that I thought someone was having a joke. But I feel very honoured,” she said. “I’ve worked hard in teaching and pursuing my passion and loved it, but have never done it with any expectation of receiving an honour. It’s good to be acknowledged.” Ms Cupper’s publications include chapters in a range of humanities textbooks and work as co-author of Gallipoli: A Battlefield Guide, Kangaroo Press, 1989 and ANZAC, McGraw-Hill, 2003.

Queen’s Birthday Honours

Example of Southern Mallee spirit

ootballers and netballers playing for the Yaapeet club in the southern Mallee were known as the Purples.

And while the club representing the village has been gone now for two decades, a little bit of purple continues to run freely through the veins of its latest award recipient. Teacher, farmer, mother, historian and community advocate Claire White, 77, won Queen’s Birthday recognition on Monday with an Order of Australia medal, OAM. Mrs White said she accepted the award, more on behalf of all volunteers in Yaapeet district community than for herself. “I’ll take it on behalf of all those others at Yaapeet who do pretty much the same as what I do,” she said. “Ours is a sharing community and some do more than I do I’m sure. Why they would pick one out I don’t know. But I suppose we all do different things. It is just what you do.” It would be hard to gauge just how much influence Mrs White has had on the communities of the broader southern Mallee including Hopetoun, Rainbow and Woomelang as well as Yaapeet. Between raising ‘six of the best’ children, Tom, Maree, Caroline, Peter, Joanne and Chris and working on the family farm with husband Kevin, Mrs White had teaching stints

with primary schools in all of the towns. Before that, in the early 1960s, she also taught at Gunbower, Undera and Kyabram after attending Bendigo Teachers College. “Yes it’s true that I’ve taught the children of the children I’ve taught – generations. And in all that time I didn’t have one kid I didn’t love. They were all just delightful with wonderful parents. Country kids are like that. It’s great. The parents and teachers as well – they have all been fabulous,” she said. Mrs White and her husband have been on the same family farm since they married at Kyabram. “We’re still hanging in there on the farm and plan to stay. I don’t think we’re going anywhere,” she said. “When I first arrived, Yaapeet looked after me and gave me a lovely welcome and a big kitchen tea. I had to pay the town back, so I’ve provided a few footballers and netballers and I suppose I’m still paying them back. I mean, what else would you do?” Apart from teaching responsibilities in the district stretching back to 1973, Mrs White has been heavily involved in a variety of community groups, events and projects. An avid history enthusiast, she was responsible for researching 90 years of Yaapeet Primary School for the publication Educating Generations: History and Memories of the Yaapeet

Her initial work provided the background for an updated centenary version of the book 10 years later in 2018. Mrs White co-ordinates Yaapeet History Facebook page and is service co-ordinator for Hopetoun Catholic Church. She was involved in community efforts to produce a 1991 ‘Back to Yaapeet’ booklet in 1991, which marked 100 years of Yaapeet parish and a past member of Hopetoun Catholic Women’s League. She has also been heavily involved in a district infant welfare centre and a member of Yaapeet football and

reserve. “It’s an old wrecking shed where the community can come every Wednesday and have tea and sit round the fire in winter. We’re starting it up again, pending the pandemic latest, in a fortnight,” Mrs White said. Mrs White has also been a Yaapeet Community Club member for many years, remains the group’s History Board chair and has been secretary since 2005. “It’s the history research I’m really proud of because it is something that other people have also enjoyed. When we’ve had back-to events or to celebrate occasions such as past football or netball premierships and historic milestones, we have all the materials ready to display,” she said. “There is a lot of information that has been gathered involving footy, netball, tennis and other clubs, Lake Albacutya and many district families.” Mrs White said she initially didn’t believe her nomination for a Queen’s Birthday honour. “I thought it was a scam or a joke and threw it away,” she said. “It was only in the past few weeks when someone asked me if I had changed my email address that I put two and two together and realised it was real after all. “It’s a bit of a shock. You don’t think twice about the things you do. It’s just part of life.”

netball clubs. “It is big when you lose your footy and netball club. That social cohesion goes and in our case half of the people went to Hopetoun and half went to Rainbow. You start to miss the training nights and other events and there is generally a lack of people around,” she said. “I suppose one thing that has been good of late is Turkey Bottom Lake in Yaapeet, which has been open since Christmas and has been a great place for people to gather.” Another favourite meeting place is The Chop Shed, a rejigged former dressing room at Yaapeet recreation

It will also show that Mr Netherway, 80, was a primary figure in leading landconservation policy for the Wimmera catchment and its natural resources and a driving force to recognise the need for healthy management of the expansive Murray Darling Basin. It is his efforts to improve regional communities and landscapes that won him recognition in Queen’s Birthday honours on Monday. Mr Netherway became a Member of the Order of Australia, OAM, for service to the Wimmera-Mallee community. A generational Quantong orchardist, fruit and vegetable grower who turned his hand to dairy and mixed broadacre farming, Mr Netherway became a critical piece of the water puzzle and environmental protection for the region. In collaboration with other key watersupply figures and what he described as a huge regional team, Mr Netherway was part of the vanguard in efforts to establish the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline. He was Wimmera Mallee Water chairman from 2001 to 2004 after being deputy chairman from 1992 to 2001 and working under Goff Letts. He was also a member of Murray Darling Basin Advisory Committee from 1990 to 2003 and chaired an infant Wimmera Catchment Management Authority from 1995 to 2000. He had previously been a member of Wimmera Regional Land Protection Advisory Committee from the early 1980s to the 1990s and chaired Wimmera Catchment and Land Protection Board in 1994. He also played an integral role in grains crop research at a Plant Breeding Centre at the Victorian Crops Institute, now Grains Innovation Park in Horsham. As well as his water-security and catchment advocacy roles, he was also Victorian Farmers Federation District Council chairman in 1991 and Horsham Branch chairman in 1989 and ’90 and president of Noradjuha-Quantong Football Club, becoming a life member of Horsham District Football League. Mr Netherway, married to wife Sandra with children Dean, Jacquie and Brendon, has spent all his life at Quantong. Yet he regularly found himself leaving home in the early hours of the morning to

LEADER: Efforts to improve regional communities and landscapes has won Lance Netherway recognition in this year’s Queen’s Birthday honours. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER catch flights to various parts of the country to join meetings involving large-scale natural-resource projects. “I grew up as a fruit grower with my father and water was always an issue. I was always involved in the political side of things. It led to a lot of committees and I always found myself representing the Wimmera-Mallee,” he said. Mr Netherway said he believed his background as a farmer and working with elder peers from an early age where he developed practical skills and understanding, had been an important part of a strategical mix. “It’s amazing the skill set you can develop over a lifetime,” he said. “It can take a while for it all to settle, but when you get into those higher environments and you sit down with politicians, professors, cultural leaders, high-level bureaucrats and so on, you learn to respect each other. Getting all those people together is a good way to get good outcomes. “It is really about a team effort and I suppose when things start to get complicated, us off the land try to keep it as simple as possible. A simple structure can really work in a team environment.” Mr Netherway reflected on the effort needed in the 2000s to push on with the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline after the stage-one Northern Mallee Pipeline was complete. “Developing the concept was fine, but selling it was another thing,” he said. “It was a tough time and it took an enormous team effort that involved a linking

up of teams, communities and significant push from the media to make it happen. “I know I now have this recognition, but there has been a hell of a lot of people involved. It hasn’t been a one-man band. “It certainly wouldn’t have happened without the likes of Goff Letts and former Wimmera Mallee Water general manager John Konings and Ian Howley from Swan Hill who put the initial details forward in the 1980s. “If there’s no water in a house you can’t live there, and if we didn’t have the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline now we’d be in dire straits.” Mr Netherway said being part of the catchment-management evolution in the Wimmera and his role in the Murray Darling Basin Advisory Committee were proud moments in his life. “The first Murray Darling Basin agreement was signed in 1902 between Victoria, NSW and South Australia,” he said. “In 2002 there was a big commemoration forum at Corowa and I had pleasure of being the spokesman for the whole Murray Darling Basin. I got quite emotional.” Mr Netherway said getting the OAM had finally sunk in and he felt honoured. “It was something I have never really thought about and while I don’t know who nominated me I have a few suspicions and will get to the bottom of it at some stage,” he said. “The thing about the coronavirus is that it has allowed us to look in the rear-vision mirror a bit. And really, when you look at, everything is linked.”

Queen’s Birthday Honours

COMMUNITY DEDICATION: Shirley Smith has received Order of Australia recognition. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

A part of Minyip

life-long commitment to her community has won Minyip’s Shirley Smith recognition in Monday’s Queen’s Birthday honours.

Mrs Smith, 81, nee Niewand, became a Member of the Order of Australia for services to the Wimmera. The award reflects a range of leadership services in supporting roles ranging from Justice of the Peace duties to volunteer activities through history, school, service, church groups and rural women’s organisations. The wife of late Minyip businessman Frank Smith and mother of daughters Tania, Julie and Kay said she was stunned when she received news of her accolade. “It was most unexpected and even now I’m flabbergasted. I don’t think I’m anyone who has done anything out of the ordinary. I still feel quite speechless about it. When the first email came I was shocked. I was sitting at the kitchen table and I had uncontrollable shakes, it was just ridiculous,” she said. “It has sunk in now, but I can’t really believe it. It looks a lot when you see it on paper but it doesn’t seem that way when you simply live it. I don’t think about these things and what I’ve done is far from peculiar, especially to little towns like Minyip, Rupanyup, Dimboola, Natimuk and so on. If nobody put their hands up little communities like Minyip wouldn’t exist. Everything revolves around volunteers.” Mrs Smith has spent all her life in Minyip, apart from a 12-month stint as an air hostess with Trans Australian Airlines, TAA, during the early 1960s. “I had always wanted to fly. I had an interview and immediately got the job,” she said. “I trained at Essendon for six weeks and was stationed in Adelaide. For what was about 12 months I flew quite a lot over Australia with the only overseas flight to Timor. It was a lovely experience. “I then came home to work with Smith Bros Engineers in Minyip and married the boss.” Mrs Smith, a Justice of the Peace since 1994, rates her involvement in the reformation of Wimmera Branch, Royal Victorian Association of Honorary Justices about 20 years ago as one of her proudest moments. A former president and secretary-treasurer of the group, she said she had enjoyed years of working with people across the region providing communities with critical on-ground services.

“It’s a wonderful group and we have formed wonderful friendships. I’m proud to be part of the group to get the branch up and going,” Mrs Smith said. But her role as a JP represents only a fraction of her commitment to Minyip and Wimmera society. Mrs Smith is an avid believer in a need to maintain historical records, especially in small towns, and was a founding member of and has been president, vice-president, assistant secretary and secretary, a role she continues to hold, with Minyip and District Historical Society. She is also Probus Club Minyip Combined president and has been a Lions Club Minyip Lady Lion since 1962, where she was involved in production of the Lions Bulletin for more than 25 years. She is Minyip Pre-School trustee, having also had roles as treasurer, vice-president and piano accompanist for various concerts and been Minyip’s St John’s Lutheran Church Parish Council member, chairman, secretary, treasurer and Ladies Guild member. She is a former treasurer of Country Women’s Association Wimmera Area Group and former Dunmunkle Branch member and treasurer. Other community roles have been as a member and advocate for the Philosophical Society and pianist for Australia Day and Carols by Candlelight events and donated land for a community park in Minyip in 1976. Professionally, she has been a carer and assistant supervisor at Dunmunkle Lodge Aged Care Facility and former secretary for Smith Bros Engineers. “I think being involved in your community is healthy and good for mental health. Of course, sometimes you can get into trouble, but it’s good for personal development. We all make mistakes along the way but learn a lot,” Mrs Smith said. “I really haven’t lived anywhere except Minyip. It’s home and it’s comfortable. I know everyone and everyone knows me. “The old saying that it takes a village to raise a child is very true. But it also takes a village to look after adults and it takes a village to look after you when you get old. “I have no idea who put in the application for the award. But I’m extremely humbled about it all and just hope I can continue to do things to the best of my ability while I have the opportunity.” Wednesday, June 16, 2021

Queen’s Birthday Honours SATISFACTION IN HELPING: Werrap’s Peter Solly has won the highest fire service medallion in the country as part of Queen’s Birthday honours.

Exceptional service

errap’s Peter Solly has won recognition for dedicating more than half a century of his life to the Country Fire Authority.

On Monday, Mr Solly received the prestigious Australian Fire Service Medal, AFSM, as part of Queen’s Birthday honours. Mr Solly has provided dedicated and committed service to the CFA and rural communities in Victoria throughout his long volunteer career. He is an active operational firefighter with Werrap Fire Brigade and notably, much of his ‘exceptional service’ to Wimmera communities has been in the role of group officer of the Rainbow group. “I grew up on a farm and joined Werrap Fire Brigade because that’s just what everyone did when they were living and working on farms,” Mr Solly said. “I then went to university and ended up teaching in Lake Bolac in 1977 when the fires went through Streatham, so I saw what the impacts could be of a major fire. “When I moved back to Rainbow a few years later, I was asked to help manage the group, so I became the communications officer and then into the group officer’s role.” Mr Solly was group officer of Rainbow group for 28 years and has played significant roles in several major incidents, both on the ground and in incident management teams. “We had a fairly major fire in Big Desert National Park in 2014, which flew under the radar a little bit as there were bigger fires elsewhere in the state, but it was quite challenging,” Mr Solly said. “I was also the planning officer for the first of the big fires on Black Saturday at Horsham, and I remember thinking we’d had a hard day, then we heard the news and realised others had been through even harder days. “There’s been some big challenges, but it’s very satisfying to work with an amazing team of

people including CFA volunteers and staff, and DELWP FFMVic crews in the Horsham ICCs as well.” Mr Solly said he had also been involved in several deployments, including to north-east Victoria during 2003 and 2006 fires where he was part of strike teams as well as acting in incident management roles. “I’ve had some satisfaction in what I’ve done. I’m involved in a wide range of people who are in the CFA,” he said. “I’ve been in a tight spot and have had my own fires and have been helped out, but when you’re in a situation when someone else is in strife, well, you get a lot of satisfaction in helping people.”

Outstanding leader

Mr Solly is known among his community as an outstanding leader and team builder who is highly respected for his wisdom, his strategic approach and his technical knowledge. His incident management abilities have been recognised and valued across the emergency services sector both in Victoria and other jurisdictions. Mr Solly’s commitment has seen him play a role on the District Planning Committee, DPC, and he has won accolades for significant work in developing strategies to address declining populations and the increasing average age of brigade memberships in rural Victoria. CFA leaders have said these strategies were contributing to the delivery of reliable, effective services to small country districts. Mr Solly is one of seven CFA members to receive the AFSM as part of the 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honours List. “It’s an honour, and I’m quite humbled by it,” he said. “There are hundreds, if not thousands of others who deserve this just as much, so this is on behalf of lots of others who are equally deserving but may fly under the radar.”

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION: Horsham Riding for the Disabled will celebrate 40 years of operation next month.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

RDA to celebrate 40 years of service The Horsham RDA centre will mark its 40th anniversary at a birthday celebration on July 17. The centre helps develop the abilities of and enriches the lives of people with disabilities through sporting, therapeutic, educational and recreational equestrian activities in Horsham district. President Jan Croser, who has been involved since the group’s inception in 1981, said invitations would be sent out to all past and present members of the not-for-profit organisation. “Things have been a little difficult with COVID and we’ve had to make some tough decisions,” she said. “We are still plugging along though and are hoping to have our celebration at Haven Hall. “If the COVID situation allows it, people will travel from quite a long way to attend. “Obviously it depends on border closures at the time. It might just be a Victorian event.” The celebration will run from 3pm to 10pm and includes a casserole tea. “We will be running video footage and looking back on the past 40 years – when you start looking at all that’s happened, you realise there is a lot to celebrate,” Mrs Croser said. “The anniversary dinner is really just about catching up. COVID has made it difficult for people to be together and celebrations like these give you the energy to keep the organisation going for another 40 years.” Mrs Croser said she took great satisfaction from being part of RDA, particularly helping participants achieve milestones. “For me, the highlight is usually when you see a rider achieve a goal, and the smile on their face,” she said. “They start with a goal that in the beginning seems impossible, and then they achieve it.” Mrs Croser said fellowship of volunteers was also a large part of RDA. “It’s lovely to see the volunteers bond through their dedication to helping RDA,” she said. “It always makes my heart sing. The volunteers do such a wonderful job and it’s lovely to see them enjoying each other’s company.”

History

In February 1981, Elsie Jefferies, while in hospital, said she would like to do something for the International Year of the Disabled. When Annette Heard told her about RDA, Elsie called a meeting of interested people. In July that year, she and Dorothy Adamson called for helpers and horses to start an RDA group in Horsham. The first ridden session was at the Crosers’ Green Lake property, on August 7, where Mrs Wednesday, June 16, 2021

Croser instructed 15 riders. By February 1983, the group started hosting sessions at Karkana Support Services, raising money for a fenced area to run riding groups on the last Friday of each month. The centre moved to Riverside Recreation Reserve in 1993 and the following year, a push to raise money for an indoor arena started. The indoor arena was officially opened in November 1996. In June 2020, RDA Horsham bought 11 acres beside the reserve to keep its horses. “RDA is run by volunteers and financed partly by RDA head office, fundraising events, donations and hiring of the indoor arena,” Mrs Croser said. “Because of the pandemic, we had our last rally on March 13 last year. “It’s been quite difficult. We get our income from riders, which helps us pay to care for the horses. We weren’t able to have any riders, but we still had to pay for food, shoes, teeth and vet costs. “It’s definitely been challenging, but we’ve experienced this before, with the equine influenza. “We have found that if you have to shut down, you lose participants. It can be very hard to get everyone back – maybe they will come back, maybe they won’t. But we’re hopeful they will.”

Memorial

Members will also pay tribute to late life member Tina Pallot on the anniversary weekend. “We were all devastated by Tina’s passing,” Mrs Croser said. “We were unable to attend the funeral, so we’re going to have a memorial on the Sunday at Riverside Recreation Reserve, so we can celebrate her amazing life.” Mrs Croser said the centre was always looking for volunteers and encouraged people to consider giving it a go. “You don’t have to be a horsey person, there are lots of different parts of RDA and we can find a role that’s most appropriate for any energetic person,” she said. Mrs Croser said there were many benefits to volunteering with RDA. “Mental health is a big one – socialisation and giving back to the community do great things for mental health,” she said. “It’s also a great opportunity for people who are new to the community to meet people and make some friends, and it’s also a great place to network for people who are looking for work. “A lot of our volunteers are quite influential in the business community and there are many people throughout the past 40 years who have started volunteering with us and ended up with a job. “It’s a good place to find employment.” People can call Wendy Donald on 0499 868 203 or Mrs Croser on 0429 935 382 for more information or to RSVP for the anniversary event.

Council Supports VECO

Road Safety Upgrade for Kennel Road Bell Mouth As part of the final stage of work, Ararat Rural City Council has sealed the bell mouth intersection off Kennel Road and the Western Highway. Maintaining local roads, improving access and connectivity is a top priority for council -- we’re continuing to forge ahead with important road safety improvements

Ararat Rural City Council is one of forty-six Victorian Councils to sign on to The Victorian Energy Collaboration (VECO), a partnership that will see councils switch to renewable energy, reduce emissions, and save on energy costs. VECO is the largest emissions reduction project by local government in Australia, aiming to reduce greenhouse emissions by 260,000 tonnes of C02-e every year – the equivalent of powering 48,000 homes or taking 90,000 cars off the road. Council will make the switch over to wind energy by July 1, meaning Councils’ electricity requirements will be sourced from clean wind energy. This will reduce Council’s carbon footprint and power bills. Every dollar saved is a dollar we can spend improving our roads, community spaces and services The renewable energy will be provided by two wind farms in Victoria – Dundonnell wind farm near Mortlake, and Murra Warra II wind farm near Horsham. Red Energy will provide 240 GWh of electricity per year to the 46 councils in the VECO purchasing group over a period of 9.5 years, beginning 1 July.

The Relief Centre can assist with: • Accessing food, medical supplies and other essentials if you cannot do this yourself • If you are isolated and need someone to talk to • If you know of anyone who is vulnerable or at high risk and needs help • If someone has no family or friends to call on for help • Can refer you to local agencies to provide other specific assistance

Across the municipality, Council has put resources towards seals and re-seals that make a big difference for residents and freight vehicles, leading to an increase in efficiency and safety for all road users. Though a bell mouth at the entrance gives motorists better visibility of traffic, the existing gravel pavement fails to address the traffic load it carries off the Western Highway onto Kennel Road Sealing this junction prevents gravel from being carried out onto the highway and stops potholes from forming on the edge of the highway seal. Kennel road is one of the many residential capital works upgrades being delivered by Council.

Victorian Budget Offers New Framework for Rural Roads Ararat Rural City Council CEO Dr Tim Harrison said the Victorian Budget contained a “hidden gem” that could finally provide some relief from the costs of managing a large rural road network. “We’ve been selected as one of 11 rural councils to benefit from the Budget’s $1.4 million Rural Roads Support Package,” Dr Harrison said. Ararat Rural City manages over 2,300 kilometres of vital rural roads that underpin the productivity and safety of the community.

“The rural roads package in the Budget is not a capital funding program, but an acknowledgement by the Victorian Government that without a coordinated approach to asset planning and expenditure, we will never level the playing field. Ararat Rural City Council is also expected to receive an allocation of over $250,000 thanks to continued investment in the Roadside Weeds and Pests Program, which secures funding for the next four years.

“When you consider that across Victoria the average investment by councils on roads is just 10 per cent of total expenditure, in contrast, the cost burden placed on rural ratepayers is immense, “ he continued.

These programs have proved vital to help Council get underway a number of major infrastructure projects that have helped keep locals in jobs. This includes upgrades at Alexandra Oval, Willaura Recreation Reserve and our recent funding to help deliver the Gordon Street Redevelopment

Wawunna Rd

Goff Letts, CBE AM, 93, now of Stawell, has put together a collection of short stories called Where Brolgas Dance, which starts at Landsborough in 1875 and ends at Alice Springs. Many people in the Wimmera-Mallee would be familiar with Mr Letts as Wimmera Mallee Water authority chairman for nine years, where he played an integral role in the creation of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline. He is more nationally known for the significant hand he played in the evolution of the Northern Territory, where he spent three decades and raised a family with his wife Joyce. Mr Letts was initially a young veterinarian who made a significant mark by playing a lead role in eradicating the serious pleuro-pneumonia cattle disease from Australia. This opened the door in establishing a value for huge Top End buffalo herds. He also spent considerable time getting to know and understand Aboriginal communities and people. He ultimately became the territory’s first Majority Leader, preparing the region for self-government while running day-to-day affairs. He led development projects to ‘awaken’ the Top End and his conservation activities led to the birth of Kakadu National Park and management plans for crocodiles. His book details some of his dramatic encounters with buffalo and crocodiles but also takes readers into an intriguing world of Territory politics and its struggle towards self-government. Donald-born and with an extensive extended family history in the Wimmera dating back to

the 1850s, Mr Letts has used his book to initially provide ‘sketches’ of Australian country life from the 1930s to post Second World War years. He has then zeroed in on his time in the Northern Territory from the 1950s to 1980s. Stories end with reflections of when the couple spent a day as companions and guides to Prince Charles and Princess Diana during a brief Royal visit to Central Australia. Mr Letts perhaps sums up his thoughts in the book’s epilogue: “There was a lot of fun, there were a few crises and some rewarding times. Job satisfaction paved the way to achieving positive results. “Many other stories remain untold. Visits to five African countries spanned 30 years. Joyce came with me to Britain, Europe, the USA, South Africa and other places on working and holiday trips. “Back in Victoria, after three interesting decades in the Northern Territory, there was little spare time. History was made during the nine years I chaired Wimmera Mallee Water authority. A wasteful channel distribution network was replaced by a water-saving pipeline system. “Many new friends were made while chief commissioner for the new Loddon Shire. Membership of North Central Catchment Management Authority added to my conservation interest, while cattle and sheep farming helped fill a busy schedule. “Throughout it all, life’s rules and lessons were being learnt. Foremost among them was the recognition that family values and kinship are the keystones of our society. Three of our children were born in the Top End. All our boys and girls grew up and went to school there. To them it is home country. Class and racial discrimination were unknown to us. The Territory world was different; long may it remain so!”

Exploring images of region’s past

orsham Historical Society has again appealed for public help to put names to people, teams and groups in photographs in its collection.

The society forwarded more photographs to The Weekly Advertiser for identification after a strong public response to a query about a Horsham Technical School image from the 1960s. Society spokesman Rod Jenkinson said people had identified all in the picture, which represented only a fraction of the many unidentified photographs on file. “The society has plenty of unidentified photos and unidentified people in photos. If we can put names on them

and add any additional information, each photo will be searchable on our database,” he said. “Families and researchers into the future will then be able to search on the Horsham Historical Society computers.” The Weekly Advertiser plans to regularly run historic photographs needing identification. People with information about Horsham Historical Society photographs in this edition can email the society on horshamhistorical@gmail.com or call in to society rooms at 33 Pynsent Street on a Wednesday or Thursday afternoon between 1.30pm and 4.30pm during usual operating times and circumstances.

‘Farmer wants a Healthy Life’

roducers of new Wimmera podcast series ‘Farmer Wants a Healthy Life’ has launched with ‘glowing audience reviews’.

A project of West Wimmera Health Service’s health promotion team, the podcast is the result of a desire to work with farmers and people living in rural communities, and to start a conversation about a variety of health and wellbeing issues. People in the west Wimmera community generated the idea for the podcast series. The series includes stories from people who understand farming life and have a story to tell. Subjects range from new and experienced farmers to rural people and doctors. The first eight episodes cover discussions surrounding depression and mental-health tips, Ross River fever, prostate cancer and the successful Rural Outreach Program. During the podcast’s virtual launch, people had a preview of an episode featuring former footballer John ‘Jumbo’ Sudholz, who shares his struggle with depression on returning to the farm after his AFL career. Mr Sudholz talks candidly about the hard times he faced, and how he has learned to live with depression. Wimmera identity and mountain climber Brigitte Muir hosts the podcast series. “I have ended up loving the people I talked to,” Ms Muir said during the podcast launch. Health promotion manager Dorothy McLaren

IT’S ONLY MUSCULAR!

How often have has that been said?

said the group wanted each of the episodes to be conversation starters. “The stories are about looking after you, while on the farm, and how the choices you make can change your life,” she said. “Listeners get to hear from those who have done it, and we hope that this can be the start of a whole conversation for people to focus on their own health and wellbeing. “We also want to hear from you. Once you’ve listened to an episode, please jump onto our dedicated social pages to share how you live a healthy farming life, and any questions the series raises for you. “Farmer Wants a Healthy Life is about hearing stories and sharing your own. Listening and mulling over how to live a healthy farming life.” The podcast program involved the collaboration and support of steering committee members with representatives from Grain Producers Australia; Grains Research and Development Corporation; National Centre for Farmer Health; Nhill and District Young Farmers; Rural Outreach Program; Southern Mallee Landcare Network; Victorian Farmers Federation; West Wimmera Health Service’s Allied Health Department; and Wimmera Hearing Society. People can listen to Farmer Wants a Healthy Life from various podcast sites. Organisers have encouraged people to share stories, experiences, thoughts and ideas on Facebook page, www.facebook.com/groups/fwahl or Twitter account twitter.com/_FWAHL.

Back pain, Neck pain, Headaches etc. are often dismissed as muscular and I’m often asked if it’s just a muscular problem or do they need chiropractic? What you need to remember is that muscles are connected to the bone, so if the muscles are tight, it’s generally a protective measure from the body to protect the joint or area concerned due to the area not being in the best position. The muscle can have an extra problem like being torn/strained/sprained, and that can be helped along with Chiropractic as well. Chiropractic has been shown to be an effective method of helping people. Why?? When your spine is not moving freely and jammed up your muscles and ligaments supporting the spine are also affected. They become tight in the wrong places and eventually it is experienced as pain. So as a chiropractor I assess your problem with you and work out the best plan of attack. Looking forward to helping you have great movement. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You can also book online at bowerschiropractic.com.au.

Planning for enduro return O

rganisers of Rainbow Desert Enduro have confirmed the event will return ‘bigger and better’ to a regional events calendar later this year.

They have scheduled the enduro from August 27 to 29. Enduro committee member Alison Ey said all involved had been disappointed in the cancellation of last year’s event and Rainbow district volunteers and Victorian Off Road Racing Association, VORRA, had been busy preparing for its return. “This event has the reputation for being challenging and gruelling,” she said. “Rainbow locals and VORRA have worked hard over several months getting the track and facilities primed for another exciting event.” The event attracts Australia’s best ‘off-roaders’ who converge on Rainbow to battle for championship points. The enduro is the fourth round of the BFGoodrich Motorsport Australia Off Road Championship, AORC. Competitors will tackle more than 500 kilometres in two days of racing as well as an eight-kilometre prologue and ‘Top Ten Shoot’ during Saturday morning action “There will be thrilling viewing for spectators,” Ms Ey said. “The jumps on the infield will showcase some spectacular racing and watch the competitors fly over the large jump at the start-finish line. “We are also excited to confirm that off road will return to the Seven Network television free-to-air, on 7plus. “After each round of the Australia

Off Road Championship, a comprehensive highlights package will be available for streaming the week following the event.” Hindmarsh Shire Council, State Government, GrainCorp and Motorsport Australia are supporting the event, which will start with a Friday afternoon of scrutineering in Rainbow’s main street. The scrutineering afternoon will

include catering, competitor cars on display and music. Organisers have also arranged fire drums to keep spectators warm. On-track action starts at 9am on the Saturday morning with the prologue, followed by racing on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. The cost of entry for fans during the weekend is $20 for adults, while children under 16 can enter free of

charge. People can register an interest in volunteering to help with the event on website www.vorra.org.au from July 5. The event will run under a Motorsport Australia ‘Return to Race’ policy, adhering to any government COVID-19 legislations at the time. Check in will be required.

Energy ‘uplift’ for small hotels Great Western Hotel and Halls Gap’s Gariwerd Motel are among recipients of grants designed to cut energy costs ‘so they can invest in their business, employ more Australians and get ahead’. Member for Wannon Dan Tehan said 11 small and medium hotels across Wannon electorate would receive support from the Federal Government’s $10.2-million Hotel Energy Uplift Program, with grants ranging from $10,000 to $25,000. He said the grants would help fund projects that would provide genuine and lasting energy savings and reduce operating costs. Great Western Hotel will receive $25,000 for upgrades and Gariwerd Motel $25,000 towards an energy-efficiency program. “The grants will help businesses to lower their energy bills by upgrading to more energy efficient air-conditioning, refrigeration and equipment, improving the building through double glazing and insulation, carrying out energy audits or installing energy monitoring equipment,” Mr Tehan said. “This will help local operators to save on energy costs, putting more money back in their pockets and supporting the creation of new jobs, including for local electricians, carpenters, engineers and plumbers.” Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction Angus Taylor said Australia’s hotel industry was among the hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. “As we secure Australia’s economic recovery from COVID-19, backing businesses to get ahead is a key priority of the government,” he said. “More than 85 percent of the grants awarded will go to hotels in regional or remote Australia, providing a significant boost to our regions. “This is good news for tourist destinations welcoming back visitors after COVID-19-related restrictions.”

Call to reduce winter fire risk

older weather forcing people indoors has prompted Ararat Rural City Council to remind people of the potential increase in fire due to heaters, electric blankets and dryers.

The council has reminded residents to review their home fire-safety arrangements to help keep the community safe. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said fire safety needed to be a year-round priority. “Most fires are caused by everyday household items such as faulty or poorly maintained appliances,” he said. “Although we are outside of bushfire season, winter is the peak period for house fires, and it can happen to anyone. Most of these fires are preventable. Don’t be complacent and take the necessary measures to prevent a fire from occurring in the first instance.” The council has urged its residents to have working and regularly tested smoke alarms in their homes. “Smoke alarms are easy to install and maintain. Importantly, they alert you to the fire when you’re asleep,” Dr Harrison said. “Having a working smoke detector installed in all bedrooms and living areas is critical to keeping your family safe.” The council has also highlighted that in reference to rental properties, landlords needed to ensure smoke alarms were installed. But it was the tenants’ duty to maintain them – this included notifying property owners when a smoke alarm was not in working order. Dr Harrison added rental providers had to ensure smoke alarms were in good working order and this included testing annually, replacing batteries as required and repairing alarms when needed.

Assistant To Trades

“Carry out health checks to your heating systems before you use them for the first time, including any central heating units, gas heaters, wood heaters, electric blankets and even your dryer,” he said. “Be sure to clean out any unwanted household chemicals that can also add extra fuel.” Heating fire safety checklist – • Split systems, central heating units – get these checked by a qualified tradesperson such as a plumber, electrician or heatingcooling specialist. • Gas heaters – test for carbon monoxide leaks at least every two years by a qualified gasfitter. • Fireplaces, wood heaters – check the flue and surrounding infrastructure before lighting. Chimneys are recommended to be cleaned every 12 months. • Electric heaters – check all leads and plugs are in good condition, ensuring there are no splits or exposed wiring. • Clothes dryers – check the appliance for visibly frayed or damaged wiring. Regularly clean the lint filter after use. • Electric blankets – feel the internal wires for any abnormalities and inspect cords for any damage. Feel for any uneven hot spots when the blanket is turned on. • Wheat bags – check for signs of wear and tear or scorching, replace if needed. “Preparation is key. Have a home fire-escape plan in place and minimise the risks where possible,” Dr Harrison said. “Our Country Fire Authority volunteers work really hard to support our community, let’s do our bit to prevent fires from happening in the first place.” We are experiencing a period of rapid expansion and are looking for a multi-skilled assistant-to-trades in our Plumbing and Electrical teams.

New benchmarks Kia outs radical looking new-gen Sportage

ia Corporation has released the first official images of its fifth-generation Sportage ahead of the mid-sized SUV’s Australian launch in the last quarter of this year, flaunting a radical new exterior look full of angles and contours.

Penned under the brand’s new ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy, the biggest talking point of the latest Sportage will be a bold front fascia that blends many of the elements seen on the related Hyundai Tucson with some signature Kia touches, including the ‘tiger nose’ grille. For starters, the headlights have been dropped down well below the bonnet line – a touch first seen on the Nissan Juke more than a decade ago and has since become more commonplace – enabling the LED daytime

running lights to act as the stars of the show and skirting the bonnet line before curving down to separate the headlights from the grille. The grille itself is finished in a chunky black mesh, crowned by a grey plastic trim piece, while the DRLs, headlights and bonnet line are all outlined in black, almost as though the car is wearing eyeliner. A blacked-out lower intake is contrasted against pieces of grey trim encompassing the fog-lights, below which with the whole fascia is underlined by a black chin spoiler. Perhaps the most obvious example of the Opposites United philosophy is how the Sportage’s sharp front angles are offset by the flowing, elegant curves of the flanks, compared with its Tucson cousin’s harsh creases. Drifting upwards to complement the

muscular rear haunches is the window-line, which is eventually met at the D-pillar by the sloping roof. To the rear is a tailgate design clearly inspired by the incoming all-electric EV6, with a matching crease just below the rear window and almost identical tail-lights. A silver bumper insert acts as an imitation diffuser to help inject a level of sportiness to the package, flicking up on either side to surround what could have been exhausts but instead ended up being nothing but fake mesh. Global Kia design boss Karim Habib confirmed the EV6 was one of two major design influences on the new Sportage, the other being the brand’s recent relaunch. “Reinventing the Sportage gave our talented design teams a tremendous opportunity to do something new; to

take inspiration from the recent brand relaunch and introduction of EV6 to inspire customers through modern and innovative SUV design,” he said. “With the all-new Sportage, we didn’t simply want to take one step forward, but instead move on to a different level in the SUV class.” Inside the cabin, the dashboard is ruled by the new integrated curved display – again as seen in the EV6 – encompassing both the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. Stand-out features include the onepiece air vents resembling the DRL signature – a theme continued by the door handles, rotary gear selector, independent HVAC panel and contrasting colour scheme that will almost certainly be an option on the higher grades. “When you see the all-new Sportage

in person, with its sleek but powerfully dynamic stance, and when you sit inside the detailed-oriented cabin with its beautifully detailed interior and first-class materials, you’ll see we have achieved those goals and set new benchmarks,” Mr Habib said. “In the all-new Sportage, we believe you can see the future of our brand and our products.” As for powertrains, it would be safe to assume the Sportage will replicate the Tucson’s engine line-up with the familiar petrol and diesel engines being carried over, albeit with a few tweaks, along with the corresponding transmissions and drive configurations. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains have also been confirmed to be under study. – Callum Hunter

May biggest-selling month so far

espite a few COVID-19 resurgences here and there, Australia’s new-car market continued to flourish in May with 100,809 vehicles sold nationally, making it the most successful month of 2021 so far, with more growth expected to follow.

Compared with the COVID-ravaged May of 2020, new-car sales were up 68.3 percent last month to place the national tally at 456,804 for the year – 124,623 units more than at the same point of 2020. Taking the pandemic largely out of the equation, the monthly total still marks an 8.9 percent improvement on the 92,561 sales recorded in May 2019, continuing the run of success ignited in April. As things stand, the market is on track to once again surpass one-million annual sales, something it has not done since 2019. Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber said the figures continued to reflect returning confidence in the national economy. “While we cannot be certain about the future economic impacts of the COVID-19 situation, businesses and households are showing their confidence by purchasing new vehicles,” he said. “I expect this situation will continue to improve in the second half of this

percent market share, 21,156 units, occupying five of the top 10 positions when it came to individual models. Mazda comfortably held onto second place with a 10.5 percent share, with most of the heavy lifting done by its CX-5 mid-sized SUV. After finishing April in sixth position, Kia had a particularly successful May, leapfrogging up to third place with a 7.1 percent market share, comfortably outselling Ford, 6.4 percent, in fourth despite undying popularity of the Ranger pick-up truck.

Fifth went to Mitsubishi, which did the opposite of Kia, sliding down from third in April to post 6478 sales, 6.4 percent, last month, just 28 units clear of Hyundai in sixth, 6.4 percent. Nissan held onto seventh with a 4.3 percent slice of the market, while Volkswagen moved up from ninth in April to finish May in eighth with 4.0 percent. Breathing down the German brand’s neck in ninth was Isuzu Ute, 3.9 percent, which returned to the top 10 due to an especially strong showing from its D-Max pick-up. Subaru rounded out the top 10 with a 3.5 percent share. While the order of the top 10 bestselling brands shuffled around and threw up the odd surprise, there was no such flow in terms of the market’s preferred vehicle classes, with SUVs once again leading the way, accounting for more than 53 percent, or 53,605 units, of all sales. This unwavering dominance was not directly reflected in the best-selling model standings, the top 10 comprised of just four SUVs, four light commercial vehicles, utes and two passenger vehicles. For reference, 23,177 light commercial vehicles and 20,218 passenger cars were sold last month, accounting for 23 and 20 percent of the total market respectively. late model

At the top of the tables, the dingdong battle between the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger continues to wage, May going in favour of the Japanese brand, which sold 4402 examples of its refreshed pick-up compared with the Blue Oval’s 4254 Rangers. Toyota’s RAV4 medium SUV finished the month in third with 4014 sales and fourth place went to the LandCruiser, the popularity of which continued with 3399 examples delivered, despite a new-generation model being just around the corner. An abundance of newly fulfilled orders helped the Isuzu D-Max rocket up from 10th in April to fifth last month with 3058 sales, accounting for 77.5 percent of all the brand’s volume for the month. Sixth place went to the ever-popular Mazda CX-5 – the second of just two medium SUVs in the top 10 – which comfortably put it ahead of the Mitsubishi Triton in seventh. Much like its bigger LandCruiser cousin, the Toyota Prado is due to be replaced in the near – but not quite as near – future, but that has not hampered its popularity, with 2214 examples shifted last month. While utes and SUVs ruled the top eight, ninth and 10th were fought out between the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai i30, with the Korean brand’s new strategy of encompassing what would have been the Elantra sedan under the i30 nameplate helping to close the gap on its Japanese rival, but not overtake it, 2190 v 2127. May turned out to be a good month for battery-electric vehicle, BEV, sales with 436 units being sold compared with the 286 shifted in April, however electrified vehicle sales fell from 8117 to 7786. Hybrids were still by far the preferred form of electrification with 7105 examples being sold compared with the 245 plug-in hybrids, PHEV, and a solitary fuel-cell electric vehicle, FCEV. For those really into numbers, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries figures reveal May 2021 and May 2020 both had 25.8 selling days, translating to an extra 1585.9 vehicles being sold each day. – Callum Hunter

Volvo details inbound XC40 electric

olvo Car Australia has confirmed pricing and specifications of its first electric vehicle, the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, revealing the compact family hauler will cost from $76,990 plus on-roads when it arrives in August.

This pitches it head-to-head with the similar-sized Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 that will cost $190 less for more battery range but less performance. A Tesla Model 3 starts from $66,625 before on-road costs for the Standard Range Plus model providing comparable performance to the XC40 but slightly more range. Like the plug-in hybrid version that came before it, the Pure Electric will be sold here in a single, highly specified trim level, cresting the XC40 range in terms of price, equipment, power and performance. Brandishing all the familiar XC40 styling elements plus a unique enclosed front grille, the Pure Electric’s party piece is the dual motor set-up – one on each axle – that develops 300kW of power and 660Nm of torque. Fed by a 78kWh lithium-ion battery pack, Volvo says its inaugural EV will spring from 0-100kmh in a hot hatchpoaching 4.9 seconds and cover up to 418km on a single charge. In terms of sheer firepower, the

NEXT STEP: Priced from $76,990 plus on-road costs, Volvo is EV-ready with its XC40 Recharge Pure Electric.

XC40 Recharge Pure Electric punches well above its class and price bracket, well and truly taking the fight to much more expensive offerings like the Jaguar I-Pace, 294kW-696Nm, Audi ETron 55, 300kW-664Nm, MercedesBenz EQC, 300kW-760Nm and even the Tesla Model X Long Range, 311kW-660Nm for half the price. The flipside however is range; of all the premium offerings outlined above, the Volvo only betters the Mercedes, 353km, and just matches the Audi, ‘in excess of 400km’. Pricing of the green Swede positions

it between these larger luxury models and mainstream electric SUVs sold in Australia – such as the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro Electric – with the extra dollars buying both better performance and premium brand perks. However, both mainstream offerings mentioned beat the Volvo on range, the Kona by more than 60km. The more conceptually similar Mercedes EQA 250 also claims to trump the Volvo on range with up to 480km on a single charge, though its 140kW-375Nm outputs are slightly

down on the more affordable Hyundai and Kia. Volvo says the XC40’s battery can be charged from zero to 80 percent in 40 minutes when using a DC fast charger. Unlike other EVs, the Pure Electric has not been fitted with a distinct startstop button – drivers and occupants simply unlock the car, get in, fasten their seatbelts and pull away. Minimalist in design but not in nature, the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric will come loaded with gear when it arrives in local showrooms, with the

Hyundai Staria line-up emerges

ome more key information on Hyundai’s upcoming Staria people mover and commercial van line-up have come to light.

The iMax and iLoad replacements are set to variously offer seating for two, five or eight people, a range-wide braked towing capacity of 2500kg and availability of all-wheel drive. Specifications filed with the Road Vehicle Certification System show four Staria variants will be offered from launch – two people movers and two vans – with the commercial versions set to be badged ‘Staria Load’. The people movers will simply be known as ‘Staria’, with no indication of trim levels materialising at this stage. The Australia-bound examples will be available with both the company’s familiar 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine and turbocharged 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel as seen in the Santa Fe range, though question marks hover over their final outputs as only estimated figures were provided. With the RVCS filings, we can confirm the V6 will develop an even 200kW, while the diesel will churn out 130kW. The filing makes no mention of peak torque figures. One thing not mentioned by HMCA yet is the standard fitment of an allwheel-drive system to the diesel-powered Staria people mover – a feature

STARIAS ALIGNING: Hyundai’s new Staria line-up is taking shape with four variants headed to Down Under from launch.

common to SUVs but not presently offered on competitors such as the Kia Carnival. As with Hyundai SUVs, the Staria’s V6 channels its power to the front wheels only. Both passenger-oriented Starias will come with eight seats as standard, a multi-link rear suspension set-up, disc brakes in all four corners and an eightspeed automatic transmission.

The commercial Staria Load will be front-wheel drive, powered exclusively by the diesel mill and available in either two-seat panel van or five-seat crew van configurations, with a sixspeed manual gearbox as standard and the eight-speed auto optional. Dimensionally speaking, all Starias share the same 5253mm length, 1997mm width and 3273mm wheelbase, with the only difference being

the Load’s marginally taller height, 1990mm v 2000mm. For comparison, the Kia Carnival – already considered a large vehicle – is 98mm shorter, 2mm narrower and 5mm taller than the Staria, with a substantially shorter 3090mm wheelbase. The two-seater Staria Load will be able to swallow three Euro pallets thanks to its almost 5000 litres of cargo space.

In terms of payload, both versions can handle more than 1070kg, with a slight advantage going to the fiveseater, 1078kg v 1072kg. Both Load variants have sliding doors on both sides and a choice of lift-back or twin-swing rear door arrangement. Regardless of powerplant, transmission and-or drive configuration, all Staria variants will boast a 2500kg maximum braked towing capacity, 750kg unbraked. As previously reported by GoAuto, standard equipment on the people movers will include a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, sliding rear seats, button-type electronic shifter and a digital instrument cluster with the RVCS details also confirming the inclusion of 17-inch alloy wheels – 18-inch units will be optionally available. Standard safety features will include forward collision avoidance assist, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, wireless seatbelt reminder, safe exit assist, rear occupant monitor and intercom system. Staria Loads will roll exclusively on 17-inch wheels – likely steel – and come with power windows, power mirrors and central locking at the very least, as well as sharing most of the people mover version’s safety gear. – Callum Hunter

Your stone of help

DOCK LAKE RECREATION RESERVE INCORPORATED

‘Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, ‘Thus far the Lord has helped us.’’ (1 Samuel 7:12) One way to summarise the landmark occasions in the first chapters of 1 Samuel is the “5 R’s.” 1. The Routing, 2. Result, 3. Repentance, 4 Revival & 5. Remembrance. What did the Israelites do when they came to their senses – when they recognised there error and reason for repeated defeat? ‘…all the people of Israel turned back to the Lord. …the Israelites put away their Baals and Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only’…On that day they fasted and there they confessed, ‘We have sinned against the Lord’… They said to Samuel, ‘Do not stop crying out to the Lord our God for us, that he may rescue us…’ (1 Sam 7:2b-7). To summarize again: we have, Repentance, Faith, Prayer, the pleasing aroma of the sacrificial lamb… ‘and the Lord answered’ (1 Sam 7:9). The enemy who once overcame, was overcome!’ Maybe you are waiting for victory to come your way? Maybe the Lord is waiting on you to come to Him? Come to him as you are, that’s for sure, but come to Him on His terms, with a godly sorrow, for ‘Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death’ [2 Cor 7:10] (i.e. worldly sorrow = sorry I got caught doing the wrong thing). Then your joy at forgiveness, restoration and healing will be the monument of remembrance; your Ebenezer; your stone of help! Pastor Chris Raatz, Grampians Lutheran Parish

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Tight contests set

immera netball league will get underway this weekend amid even tighter restrictions than players experienced last week.

The only thing that might be tighter than the number of people allowed to be involved will be the games themselves. In A Grade competition, Horsham takes on Dimboola in a game where Horsham should be too strong, but Dimboola is coming off a thrilling 4039 win over Minyip-Murtoa. Horsham beat Stawell 52-43 and takes on a team desperate to stay in the top five. Horsham lacked its usual reliable shooting percentages last week, which gave 17 and under player Jemma Thomas the opportunity to come on and make an impact. Thomas and fellow junior Grace Manserra were strong players against the Warriors and if they have the opportunity, will be looking to have the same impact this week. Dimboola also has strong young players coming through in Delta Wardle, Steph Glover, Holly Ross and

Ruby Redford. The result could depend on which team wants it enough. A close game with a top-five place up for grabs is also on the cards between Horsham Saints and Stawell. Both sides battled most of their games out against their higher-placed opponents last week, only to go down towards the end of matches. The Saints fell to Southern Mallee Giants 48-56. The Saints usually have the wood on Stawell, but Stawell coach Courtney McIlvride is playing a determined brand of netball and it should be a good contest between her and Megan Byrne. Stawell’s Lisa Fleming and Rachel Wood had many tips and intercepts last week and will be hoping to do even better this week, while Elly Barnett and Kiana Marshman for the Saints will need to restrict Ebony Summers and Zanaiya Bergen. Stawell juniors Madi Taylor and Molly Orr are both reliable players who can have impact on the court. Minyip-Murtoa plays Nhill in what is potentially match of the round, with both teams searching for their

first wins. The Burras and Tigers have been so close to causing upsets on occasions and do not deserve their low placing on the ladder. Nhill, however, lost to Warrack Eagles last week, 34-65, and will be keen to bounce back strongly. Up-and-coming Nhill junior Jenna Schneider has been making the most of her opportunities as has Molly Fagan for the Burras. This match could come down to which end is more accurate at the end of the day. Ararat, quietly going about its business, will come off a bye to play Southern Mallee Giants. Junior Jessie Bligh has competently filled a huge hole left by the loss of Jess Taylor for the Rats. Giants goalers Brylee Schache and Steph Thompson last week both had quarters shooting at 100 percent, with Schache finishing the match with 90 percent accuracy. The Giants should win this match but only the unwise would disregard the Ararat girls’ chances.

Clubs navigate through uncertainty U

BY DEAN LAWSON

ncertainty over the immediate future of the Wimmera football league season and a need to manipulate player lists as a result is set to continue to influence club fortunes. With league leaders attempting to come to grips with latest return-toplay rules, a question mark remains whether games could continue to go ahead as scheduled. If games do happen, they will be free of all spectators, unless they are directly involved in official roles or parents or guardians of juniors. Circumstances will add another significant dimension to games as clubs attempt to navigate through off-field rules as well as on-field challenges. With spectators unable to watch the action, communities across the region will be searching for updates of games and what they might mean for a further easing of restrictions later in the season. Many fans remain unsure of how reflective results from last week’s games are of the true strengths and weaknesses of each team. Has the absence of Melbourne players unable to compete under restrictions and other support mechanisms made that big a difference? It remains to be seen. Going on what happened last week, especially a thumping victory by premiership fancy Minyip-Murtoa over Dimboola, a clash between Horsham and Dimboola at Horsham City Oval suddenly seems up for grabs.

For more photographs go to theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: Minyip-Murtoa’s Daniel Bibby attempts to restrict Dimboola player Tom Cree from bursting into the clear during Wimmera league action at Murtoa. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Dimboola was right in the contest with the Burras up to half time at Murtoa last week but fell away badly in the second half. Roos on-field leader Justin Beugelaar led by example and Jayden Lehmann and Jack Landt featured in best-player lists. But where does a 55-point loss leave the Roos in their clash with Horsham this week?

Horsham spent last Saturday playing catch-up and eventually came up 24 points short against Stawell, with dashers Ben Lakin and Tyler Blake and steadying Al McKinnon all prominent. Scores suggest the Demons appear off the pace set by benchmark teams, albeit only marginally, and it might be that restriction upheaval opens up fresh opportunities.

Horsham was not good enough to get up over the ladder-leading Warriors at Stawell where it struggled to quell the influence of Cody Driscoll. Driscoll kicked six goals against the Demons and will need to continue that form against Horsham Saints. Jarrod Illig and Jackson Dark also impressed for the Warriors, who take on a Saints side fresh from a fourpoint victory over Southern Mallee

Giants. The Saints, with front-andcentre specialist Sam Clyne shining and others such as Angus Martin and Cody Bryan impressing, did enough to hold off the Giants and will return to Coughlin Park in Horsham with confidence. The Giants, meanwhile, the subject of considerable speculation about the impact of restrictions on their playing group, now play Ararat at Beulah. Coleman Schache was the vanguard in urging his team on last week, alongside Ed Lindon, while Haydn Drew kicked four goals. They meet an Ararat side coming off a bye. Minyip-Murtoa appears to be hitting its stride and should be far too good for Nhill at Minyip – that is if the uncertainty surrounding playing lists has little role in the outcome. The Burras had plenty of winners last week, versatile utility Warwick Stone collecting best-player honours, Luke Fisher busy and Kieran Delahunty kicking five goals. At the same time, Nhill slugged it out with Warrack Eagles, only to fall five tantalising points short of victory. The Tigers’ best players were Jarryd Dahlenberg and Liam Albrecht while Frazer Driscoll kicked five goals. The Eagles will sit out with a bye this week but would probably still be celebrating after the likes of Naish McRoberts, Riley Morrow, Jacob Cheney and Dalton Jaensch, five goals, dragged their team across the line.

Regional squad opportunity Several young Wimmera footballers will have a chance to earn a spot in a regional squad for an upcoming V-Line Cup. Regional football leaders have selected 25 boys who have been playing in Wimmera and Horsham District leagues this season to compete in a series of trial matches. The youngsters will have to prove themselves against players from Ballarat, Goldfields, Hamilton and Warrnambool regions to earn a spot in the under-15 Greater Western Victoria Rebels squad. AFL Wimmera-Mallee development manager Jason Muldoon said the Wimmera footballers were meeting for regular training sessions to prepare for the matches in Ararat later this month. “This group generally has a sixweek build up to the trial matches, but with COVID-19 lockdowns, we’ve had to reduce the amount of training sessions we can run,” he said.

“The boys look like an athletic group. It will just be a matter of giving them some guidance with training in the lead-up to the trial games. “We have some great coaches to guide these boys through these practice matches and training sessions.” Successful recruits will then compete in the cup in September in Shepparton. The competition comprises the top under-15 talent in regional Victoria. Mr Muldoon said it represented an opportunity for young players to start a pathway into higher levels of AFL. “This all got called off last year, which was unfortunate, but it’s good to get back into it because it gives us that representative program again,” he said. “Generally, this is the start of their talent pathway, where they’re introduced to the Rebels programs.” GWV Rebels regional talent operations lead Damien Ross said the under-15s program was one of many routes young players could take to

advance their sporting careers. “This is a great pathway for aspiring and talented athletes, but boys and girls might not make those early squads,” he said. “The time some take to grow and mature happens at different rates – if you don’t make the 15s or 16s squads it doesn’t mean your opportunity won’t come.” Players: Mitchell Amos, Rory Cameron, Lenny Seater, Noradjuha-Quantong; Lewis Cocks, Jeparit-Rainbow; Jack Dean, Natimuk United; Hugh Dougherty, Lachlan Hobbs, Samuel Janetzki, Jeremy Kemp, Zac Smith, Horsham Saints; Fredrick Frew, Pimpinio; James Jennings, Sonny Kettle, Hugh Toner, Ararat; Hudson McCredden, Southern Mallee Giants; Jaxon Moloney, Warrack Eagles; Luke Monaghan, Swifts; Aiden Richardson, Kalkee; Judd Smith, Owen Summers, Stawell; Connor Weidemann, Rupanyup. Coaches: Shayne Breuer, Ben Lakin, Brett Janetzki, Andrew Devereaux.

t seems a dreadful pity that Horsham District football fans will be absent from the action at Quantong on Saturday. Because that’s all that will be missing from what looms as one of the biggest games of the year – if any of the teams play at all. Latest return-to-play restrictions for community sport announced to clubs on Saturday mean the

contest between Noradjuha-Quantong and Rupanyup will involve only participants and necessary officials from both teams. District league officials met last night to determine whether pushing ahead with the round was actually financially or physically possible after circumstances shifted from a 150-person venue limit to no spectators at all, apart from parents or guardians of juniors. If spectator-free games do go ahead, what influences the clash

at Quantong will simply be about what happens at selection, on the ground and from the bench. Both sides are unbeaten but what will the tight restrictions mean for how they line up and how they perform? Another big game scheduled for the weekend is fifth-placed Jeparit-Rainbow against fourthplaced Swifts at Jeparit, but again, uncertainty surrounded the contest. A frustrated Horsham District

league chair Fred Mellington said whatever happened in the league this weekend would depend on club direction. “Do we or don’t we try to make it happen? It will be up to the clubs,” he said. In other games scheduled for this week, Edenhope-Apsley takes on Kalkee, Harrow-Balmoral meets Taylors Lake, Kaniva-Leeor United is at home to Pimpinio and Natimuk United meets Laharum.

Breuer among best in solid win over Power A morale-boosting win for Greater Western Victorian Rebels at the weekend has put the side in top position heading into the final stages of a 2021 NAB League season. Horsham’s Sam Breuer, who was named among best players in his team, kicked a goal against Gippsland Power in a 79-point win. Head coach and head of talent David Loader said Breuer was among a talented line-up of players in the Ballarat-based team who had great potential to be drafted into the AFL and VFL. “Sam played some great football at the weekend,” he said. “It’s hard to say if the boys will be drafted at this stage of the competition, but we have great hope.

“We have a lot of boys who are really talented this year.” Loader said the win represented a positive step forward after a 16-point loss to Geelong Falcons a week earlier. “It was a terrific response to get a result like that after we played poorly the week before,” he said. “We made some changes and we were looking for a response and we certainly got it. “The boys played a great game, especially in the second half.” The win has placed the Rebels on top of the leader board, with five wins and one loss. A two-week COVID-19 lockdown in Melbourne earlier this month also meant only regional-based clubs were able to compete.

Loader said the Rebels would need to stay at the top of their game when they faced one of the metropolitan-based teams. “We’ve still got about five games to play before the finals, that means the boys have certainly got to keep improving,” he said. “The Melbourne sides are enormously talented and we haven’t played them yet. “It’s always a hell of a test when you go up against those teams.” The Rebels squad is set to face third-placed Northern Knights at Mars Stadium in Ballarat on Saturday. Horsham’s Ella Friend is among four GWV Rebels who will have a chance to showcase their skills at an AFL Women’s Draft Combine, with details to be announced soon.

Demons favourite in final rematch Horsham District netballers will be keen to return to the court at the weekend following a two-week break in the season due to the evolving COVID-19 situation. However, uncertainty still surrounds the postponed round seven, as league leaders determine whether resuming the competition is financially or physically viable. If the round does go ahead, Laharum – which has not put a foot wrong since winning the 2019 A Grade premiership – will start favourite in a grand-final rematch against Natimuk United at Natimuk. The Demons are undefeated while the Ewes, eighth, are still working to gel some personnel changes. Despite the significant gap between the sides on the ladder, they always enjoy a hard-fought clash. The encounter between Jeparit-Rainbow and Swifts is shaping as the most interesting of the round, with the Storm needing a win to stay in touch with the ladder leaders and Swifts looking to break into the top six. The ladder is tight in the middle stages, with the Kees, Storm and Rams all on 12 points. The Kees also need another win to stay in touch, although Edenhope-Apsley will be keen to cause an upset at home. Kalkee’s defenders were in good form before the break and will make life tough for the Saints’ attackers. Fourth-placed Noradjuha-Quantong will not take ninth-placed Rupanyup lightly at home but is enjoying its best season in a while and will be keen to continue to capitalise. Similarly, third-placed Kaniva-Leeor United will be out to continue on its winning way against bottom side Pimpinio, while second-placed Harrow-Balmoral has a bye against Taylors Lake. – Sarah Matthews

Volleyball finals ‘finally’ underway V

BY DAVID BERRY

olleyball Horsham’s summer season finals series will finally kick off tonight, with all grades competing, under strict COVID-19 conditions.

With only 50 people permitted in St Brigid’s College stadium, many family and friends will miss out on seeing the games, but hopefully as the finals series progresses, restrictions will ease. The night starts at 5pm with the two junior semi-finals. The second semi sees the two top

teams, Phantoms and Murtoa Geckos, do battle. The ledger stands at one apiece, with Murtoa Geckos winning in round two in four sets, while Phantoms reversed that result in round seven. In the first semi-final, Von Steiger Breakers square off against Von Steiger Kids, with the Breakers favoured to progress. At 6pm the two C Grade semi-finals will be played with Holy St Pats and Heidelberg locking horns in the second semi, while HTLC Raiders and Murtoa Railway do battle in the

first semi-final. Holy St Pats will start favorites to progress straight into the grand final. In their only meeting this season, Holy St Pats proved too strong for Heidelberg, winning in straight sets. The first semi-final promises to be a close affair, with HTLC Raiders defeating Murtoa Railway in a close three setter in their only meeting of the season. At 7pm on court one, the A Grade second semi-final sees Heidelberg and Shados Inala face off. They met each other in the final round, with Heidel-

berg winning two sets to one, but level on points, indicating just how evenly matched the two teams are. Pegasus and Phantoms will follow in the first semi-final, with the loser dropping out of the finals race. The ledger is square between the two teams, with both results being decided on points each time, once again underlying just how evenly matched the two teams are. At 7pm on court two, the B Grade second semi sees Heidelberg Masters battle with Waterhammers. Heidelberg Masters hold the advantage over

Hungry for footy pending restrictions After three weeks off, everyone in Mininera and District Football League will be keen to get back into what is left of the season. After missing rounds seven and eight, which will be replayed later in the season, this week the league hoped to continue on with round nine. A degree of uncertainty surrounding the competition based on COVID-19 restrictions regarding community sport remained last night. If footy goes ahead this weekend, Tatyoon will host Ararat Eagles. Tatyoon is yet to lose a game. In its last game before the break the Hawks had a massive 317-point win over Caramut, which saw Ben Clay add an impressive

back losses in the two rounds before the break, losing to Tatyoon and Woorndoo-Mortlake respectively. They will be looking to Joshua Hustler, Ryan Folkes and Nigel Sibson to lead their team. SMW Rovers went into the three-week break coming off two straight wins. Matthew Mulcahy, Darcy Osborne, and Justin Kennedy have all been in fine form for the Bulldogs. In other games, Caramut plays Lismore-Derrinallum, Wickliffe-Lake Bolac takes on Hawkesdale-Macarthur, Penshurst hosts undefeated WoorndooMortlake and Moyston-Willaura and Glenthompson-Dunkeld battle. – Jonathan Box

11 goals to his season total. Although Tatyoon’s last game was seemingly a walk in the park, it will be poised for a bigger challenge in Ararat. The Eagles, sitting fifth on the ladder with three wins and three losses, have shown they are more than capable of taking on the big teams this year, only going down to Great Western and Woorndoo-Mortlake by six and nine points respectively. Their last win before the break was a 59-point victory over Moyston-Willaura. Plans were for Great Western to head to Mininera and look to start this section of the season with a win. The Lions are coming off back-to-

their opponents, winning both contests this season two sets to one. Following this game will be the first semi between Parma Army and Von Steiger Shadows. They have played each other twice, with each team recording a win, so another close contest is assured. The winners of the second semifinals tonight will progress to the grand finals Wednesday next week, while the losers will live to fight another day in the preliminary final on Monday night, against the winners of the first semi-finals.

Duo in state team T

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

alented Horsham teens Deacon Briggs and Eloise Wills have won selection to a School Sport Victoria state team for swimmers aged 10 to 19.

Deacon, who attends Horsham’s St Brigid’s College, was chosen in the boys 17 to 19 division, while Eloise, Ballarat and Clarendon College, was selected in the 16 years’ girls category. Both won selection in the School Sport Victoria state swimming team for the first time. Eloise said she was pleased to make the team, however she was disappointed she would not be able to compete at a School Sport Australia competition due to constantly changing border restrictions. “We’ve been informed School Sport Victoria will be organising training sessions and-or events for us to participate in,” she said. Deacon’s mother Jennifer Briggs said her son was thrilled to make the cut, although any national-level competition was ‘up in the air’ given the COVID-19 situation. “Usually the Vic team competes but we’re not sure if it will be able to this year,” she said. “Swimming Victoria is looking at what they can offer, but it’s going to look a bit different given COVID.” Mrs Briggs said Victorian swimmers

ON TARGET: Horsham teens Eloise Wills, above, and Deacon Briggs, right, have won selection to a School Sport Victoria state swimming team. were given an opportunity to apply for the team. “Any qualifying meets they’ve been in, their times were recorded,” she said. “They could put in an application and then the people selecting the team tracked down everyone’s times and compared them for the different events. “This is the first time Deacon’s made this team. The boys in his age group generally medal at nationals, so it’s very competitive. “He was very excited. He was lucky to make it to nationals this year, considering last year they missed out.” Mrs Briggs said her son did well at

the 2021 Australian Age Swimming Championships on the Gold Coast in April. “It had previously been one of his goals,” she said. “He’s had a good run since being back in the pool, competing in junior competitions in Melbourne.” Deacon claimed bronze medals in 50-metre breaststroke and the 200m individual medley at School Sport Victoria state championships in April. Mrs Briggs said Victorian swimmers had found it difficult to train since pandemic restrictions first came into place in March last year. “They didn’t train for seven months or something at one stage,” she said.

“Deacon trains in the pool whenever he can, but when he’s not in the pool he’s doing gym workouts.” Deacon and Eloise both swim for Ballarat Gold Swimming Club and have competed at state and national level. Eloise has also been busy since the pandemic began in March last year, working on endurance and strength to improve her chances to qualify for meets in 2021. When she was able to get back into the pool, she worked hard under Ballarat Gold coach Mark Stahl. Eloise competed at four long-course championship meets between January and March 2021, setting four personalbest times at sprint championships and getting a national age qualifying time in the 50-metre freestyle. She performed well at the country championships, winning several medals and personal bests. Eloise claimed two bronze medals – her first at state championships – in a state age competition at Melbourne

Sports and Aquatic Centre in March. Like Deacon, Eloise also competed in the Australian Age Championships on the Gold Coast in April, scoring a personal best in 50-metre freestyle and swimming in the 13-17 years mixed medley relay with Deacon in ‘a cracker of a race’. Eloise said based on her performance at age nationals, she had won selection to a performance squad, part of Swimming Victoria’s Performance Pathway Program. “Unfortunately the first weekend of the program was postponed due to the latest COVID outbreak in Melbourne,” she said. Swimmers are now in short-course season, contesting events swum in a 25m pool. “Hopefully we’ll be back in the pool training with our club in the nottoo-distant future to prepare for local meets and then short-course country championships in August, followed by state age championships in Melbourne,” Eloise said.

Hockey returns W

BY SIMON KING

immera hockey enthusiasts are keen to return to the field this weekend after three weeks off due to recent COVID-19 restrictions.

No Wimmera teams have played since midMay after the postponment of two rounds, along with senior country championships also scheduled for the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in Melbourne and Geelong. Last week, Wimmera Hockey Association executive met to plan the way forward. With restrictions allowing community sport for all grades to resume, hockey will start again on Saturday with the originally scheduled roundeight games at Davis Park in Nhill. Leaders also found space in the fixture to reschedule the two postponed rounds, with round six to be at Warracknabeal on July 19, the last weekend of the school holidays, and round seven on August 28, originally semi-finals. Finals will now start a week later, on September 4 and conclude with a grand final at Kaniva on September 18. Officials have also decided that if COVIDrelated restrictions impact any further rounds, the association will abandon rather than reschedule them. The open competition will re-start with improving Nhill Rangers taking on ladder-leading Yanac Tigers, which is an opportunity to show their credentials as a serious premiership contender.

The two other open division games will also be competitive. Second-placed Warrack Hoops meets Kaniva Cobras, and Dimboola Burras will look to continue their recent surge when they play Horsham Hurricanes. Although sitting outside the top four, the Cobras have the depth to challenge any team above them. Yet to taste victory this season, the Hurricanes pushed the Tigers in their last game, so pose a threat to any team who dares to take them lightly.

empathy towards our participants was second to none,” he said. “Elizabeth has also dedicated many years of service to the Victorian Harness Racing Club, Terang Harness Racing Club, Bendigo Harness Racing Training Centre and the Victorian Country Clubs’ Association. “Her energy and passion for this industry were always on display and harness racing in Victoria is so much stronger for her many years of involvement.” In highlighting her Queen’s Birthday honour, some of Ms Clarke’s previous achievements in harness racing were captured – including the Gordon Rothacker Medal with husband Bruce in 2008, the 2003 Pearl Kelly Award, VHRC Achiever of the Year and HRV Club Secretary of the Year awards in 2002. More recently she was presented with the Distinguished Service Award by Harness Racing Australia in 2018. – Tony Logan and Cody Winnell

The feature game in the women’s division will see undefeated Yanac Women take on Nhill Thunderbirds, one of the teams that have a serious chance of tarnishing their record. Although Horsham Jets and Dimboola Roos only have one win between them, this is an important game. The Roos have improved significantly over the first five rounds but need to win if they are to stay in the race for the finals. A similar scenario will play out in under-16s with Kaniva Raiders looking for their first win for 2021. Their opponent, Warrack Revengers, will aim to consolidate their claim as a finals contender with a good win. Based on recent form, it is challenging to pick who will be the first to inflict Yanac Warriors’ first defeat since 2018, but this week it is Nhill Leopards chance to try. An under-12s development program will also return with three games played at their usual 12.30pm time slot.
