Farm powers ahead I

BY DEAN LAWSON

nvestment from an international developer tapping into Wimmera and Grampians wind power is set to climb to more than $1-billion as focus for the next renewable power plant in the region turns to the Kalkee plains north of Horsham. Construction of the $450-million Ararat Wind Farm has started, providing industry confidence and paving the way for RES Australia to push on with its Murra Warra project. Project manager Kevin Garthwaite said he was looking forward to a formal announcement about the development early in the new year and for a planning-permit application to be lodged by mid 2016.

IN THIS ISSUE

He said it would then most likely take between 18 months to two years before the start of construction. The 32-square-kilometre Murra Warra wind farm is projected to have up to 100 windmills on 22 properties and cost between $650-million and $700-million to build. It will have the potential to produce enough electricity to power a large provincial city. The project has been on the drawing board for more than 12 months but, similar to the Ararat project, stalled during debate over the future of the Federal Government’s Renewable Energy Target subsidy scheme. But the scheme again has bipartisan political support. “We’re working quite diligently and are keen to discuss the project in more

detail with the community,” Mr Garthwaite said. “The market is steadily picking up and showing signs of stability and we’re looking to push ahead with our Australian projects. “What really helps now is the new vibe under the new Prime Minister. The industry now feels less under attack and there is less undermining of confidence.”

news. With the Murra Warra project we’ve been dealing with landholders all the way through the process,” he said. “We’re also working closely with Horsham Rural City and Yarriambiack Shire councils.” Murra Warra, between Horsham and Warracknabeal, is home to prime broadacre cropping country but like much of the Wimmera has been subject to dry conditions. As well as being ideal for farming, research has shown the landscape ideal for harvesting wind. Rental agreements involving wind turbines will also provide an alternative income for many of the landholders in the area. Wind farm construction would likely provide employment for a 250-strong

Ararat paves way

Mr Garthwaite agreed confirmation of work starting on construction of Ararat Wind Farm had helped spur on the Murra Warra development proposal. “We’ve been working on the same plan we’ve had all along and the Ararat project has certainly been good

workforce. Day-to-day operation would involve a staff of 15. Ararat Wind Farm, north-east of Ararat, will have 75 turbines, 70 in the Ararat municipality and five in Northern Grampians Shire. Other developers are also exploring or already plan to pursue wind farms in the region. Enerfin Energy Company of Australia plans to build a 63-turbine wind farm near Great Western. In March, Northern Grampians council granted a permit, guided by a list of conditions, for Enerfin to build the farm in Joel Joel, Joel South, Bulgana and Great Western districts. Pacific Hydro’s Challicum Hills wind farm east of Ararat, featuring 35 wind turbines, has been operating since 2003.

Christmas lunch for the community Horsham Uniting Church has invited Wimmera residents without somewhere to go on Christmas Day to enjoy a festive lunch in the church hall.

Office co-ordinator Jenny Payne said the church had hosted Christmas Day lunches for about 15 years. “It is for people in the community who might be alone on Christmas Day, whether it is because they live alone or their families are interstate,” she said. “It’s also for people who might be elderly and have difficulty cooking or get meals delivered. It means they can enjoy

something festive rather than having their usual thing. It makes Christmas a bit more special.” Mrs Payne said about 120 people, including volunteers, attended the annual event. “Everyone has a lovely time,” she said. “We always get a lot of complimentary feedback. The volunteers always enjoy themselves, too.” Christmas Day lunch co-ordinator Mandy Kirsopp said transport was available. “We have people come from across the Wimmera, including Rainbow, Ararat, Murtoa and Natimuk,” she said.

“Some people are not very mobile, or some don’t have access to public transport, so they are grateful for the pick-up service. “The food is beautiful, but it’s a bonus. The day is about coming together as a community and having a sense of belonging.” Ms Kirsopp said lunch costs $5 and encouraged people who wished to attend to RSVP by calling the church office on 5382 4380 from Monday to Thursday between 10am and 3pm. She said anyone who wanted to volunteer could also call the office during office hours.

Mr Broad has written to Ms Neville with concerns about Victorian Environmental Water Holder plans to buy 10,000 megalitres of water for the rivers. “While I acknowledge the dry conditions in this region have had a negative impact on the environment, it is equally fair to say conditions have also seriously affected our

country towns that rely on the availability of water, via the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline,” he said. Mr Broad emphasised the importance of finding balance between the needs of the environment and regional communities. He said decisions about environmental water also needed to make sure productivity was not further compromised. “The purchase of environmental water must occur without creating adverse effects on the delivery of water to towns and farms along the length of the pipeline,” he said. “Considering the likelihood that dry con-

ditions will remain through to next autumn, it’s vital farming productivity and water availability is supported and that critical human needs are met, across the region.” The Victorian Environmental Water Holder has limited options to find the 10,000 megalitres it wants to buy. Mining companies have access to bulk entitlements and GWMWater has ‘carryover’ water in the system, which is providing added security to supply. Latest figures showed Wimmera and Mallee reservoirs holding 28.22 percent of the system’s capacity.

Berry Street welcomes foster care funding boost Berry Street has welcomed a State Government boost to support foster and kinship carers. From January 2016, about 5000 carers

will receive additional funding to help meet the needs of more than 7000 children and young people in care. Berry Street public policy leader Julian Pocock said

the welfare agency had expressed concern about the decline of Victoria’s foster care system for several years. The funding increase is the first in nearly 10 years.

OPERATING

ember for Mallee Andrew Broad has urged Victorian Water Minister Lisa Neville to ‘proceed with caution’ when considering environmental watering for Wimmera and Glenelg rivers.

Senior student success

enior students are the celebration of schools, communities and families across the region after reaching the final chapter in their secondary education.

Year-12 Victorian Certificate of Education students received their final-year results and scores this week, completing for many what had been 13 years of schooling. For some it represented the critical cornerstone on a pathway into an adult working environment, while for others it represented the launch of a fresh study direction. The release of Australian Tertiary Admission Rank or ATAR results on Monday generated a mix of excitement, disappointment, discussion and planning among students across the region. Revealed in results were new names to join the Dux list on school honour boards across the region. At St Brigid’s College in Horsham, Tayla Gutteridge be-

came 2015 Dux with an ATAR score of 98.70. Details available yesterday also revealed that at the region’s largest school, Horsham College, Sam Anders had a score of 96.35. Michael Hackwill, with 93.9 at Stawell Secondary College, Joshua Petering, 93.75, Murtoa College, Ethan Koschitzke, 90.8, Warracknabeal Secondary College, and Keenan Hurst, 83.75, Ararat College, also excelled. At Edenhope College the student Dux award went to Tamika Sewell with the highest average study score results while Stephen Lloyd had the highest ATAR score. Kaniva P-12 College leaders will announce school awards at a presentation ceremony tonight and results from Dimboola Memorial Secondary College and Ararat’s Marian College were unavailable yesterday. As well as end-of-year academic results, many school leaders were also celebrating

Victorian Certificate of Advanced Learning student outcomes. Stawell Secondary College VCE co-ordinator Aaron Dalziel said 16 of his school’s 19 VCAL students had found employment, apprenticeships or had pursued further study options.

Congratulations

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy was quick to congratulate all students who completed VCE studies. “Completing 13 years of schooling is a significant achievement and milestone for our next generation of leaders and one that should be acknowledged and celebrated,” she said. “If you haven’t received the result you had hoped for, there are many pathways that will still enable you to reach your goal. Your ATAR score won’t define your life, it’s what you do with it from here that counts. “Completing VCE is an

achievement that all students should be proud of regardless of the result. “We’ve had outstanding results that shows our country students are just as capable as their city counterparts. “Thank you to all our teachers, schools, families and employers who have supported our students on their journey throughout their schooling.” Member for Mallee Andrew Broad also congratulated students for completing year 12 studies and provided a message of support. “Well done! Just remember to keep everything in perspective. In two years’ time, no one will know or remember your ATAR score,” he said. “If you have a great score you should be commended but if you are disappointed, don’t dwell on that. There are many pathways to achieving your goals. “Work to contribute to Australia being a great place and enjoy the opportunities Australia presents.”

Police offer safety tips for Christmas

olice have advised Wimmera people to take extra safety precautions during the festive season, with home burglaries and car thefts expected to increase across Victoria.

Police expect about 2400 cars will be broken into, about 1800 homes burgled and just under 900 cars to be stolen between now and January 3. Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said while there was no good time to be a victim of theft, the holiday period was particularly painful. “A lot of planning goes into a family Christmas, but criminals don’t care,” he said. “They won’t think twice

about stealing your car, stealing your belongings – theoretically stealing your Christmas. “They will literally steal presents off the backseats of cars, from underneath Christmas trees and vehicles that are ready to be driven to family gatherings with no regard for the pain and hurt they’re causing their victims. “We want to encourage the community to do all they can to make sure they’re making it as hard as possible for these crooks to ruin their Christmas. “While we can ramp up our prevention programs, focus more on repeat offenders and increase our patrols, we can’t be there at every stage making sure you’ve locked your car

or house, or you’ve put your valuables out of sight in your vehicle. “The tips can be used as a checklist for families. They’re pretty simple and could really save a lot of heartache.” The tips include: • Cars should be locked, valuables hidden inside or removed, and parked in secure garages where possible. • Keys should not be stored in obvious places inside the house. • Install good quality locks on doors and windows at home, and keep them locked, even when you’re at home. • If you’re going away for the holidays, ask a neighbour to bring in your mail and bins.

College overhaul set for next year

he Wimmera’s largest school will undergo a major transformation next year as work progresses on a $10-million redevelopment program.

Contractors are demolishing ageing school M and H-wing buildings at Horsham College to make way for modern classrooms and facilities. College leaders hope students will be learning in new buildings by the end of next year. The works program represents the primary stage of a broader plan to completely rebuild the college, which was the result of a merger between Horsham High and Horsham Technical schools. The ultimate aim is for the whole school, which includes two neighbouring campuses, to operate from a Baillie Street site. College spokeswoman and careers teacher Caroline O’Donnell said a broad redevelopment program had already included creating new drama and dance studios at the college’s Baillie Street gymnasium. She added the infrastructure program, while a huge part of school progress, represented only part of overall development plans, which included the introduction of a reporting system designed to enhance family engagement in the student learning process. “One of the biggest things we will be rolling out next year is our new SEQTA student-management system, which will allow parents to track their

children’s records, assessments and tasks in real time,” she said. “Parents will be able to log in and see what’s happening daily with their children. It will be a big roll-out involving every child, teacher and assessment. We’ve trialled it with with a year-seven group this year and year-seven parents provided a lot of positive feedback. “It is complementary to the report process. Importantly, it is an ongoing and continuous process and really makes the learning goals transparent.” Horsham College has almost 1000 students on site during an average school day, making it the largest consistent day-to-day gathering of people in the Wimmera. Ms O’Donnell said the college was performing strongly in meeting expected student outcomes with Vocational Education and Training at the school set to expand significantly in the new year. “We offer a lot of subjects and expect to launch more. We’re also offering six new VET subjects,” she said. “We have a lot of high-achieving students coming through at the moment and had great results with students picking up apprenticeships. “We’ve had one pick up apprenticeship with Powercor and others in automotive, diesel and landscaping industries and another as a chef.” • For more news on Wimmera schools, see Education Celebration feature, from page 29.

It is about more than money P

BY DEAN LAWSON

rivate versus public! It’s a quandary that some suggest sits at the core of democratic political governance.

It also provides perhaps the best example of the philosophical chasm between political spectrums. Should we as individual consumers in a capitalistic environment accept that we have to directly pay for essential services? Or do we pay our governments through taxes to provide services on our behalf? The Federal Government is reviewing the murky two-bob-each-way system we have at the moment and hopefully it can come up with something that makes sense, is affordable and is in some way fair for everyone. What we have, while appearing to work to some degree, remains neither fair nor reflective of what a progressive and clever society would like in place. When it comes to responsible pub-

EDITORIAL lic health care, we are thankfully still way ahead of the full-on userpay systems that operate in some countries. Yet, regardless of rebate schemes, countless promotion and a pervading sense of guilt and fear of what might be needed for future health care for us or our loved ones, the fact is that many of us simply can’t afford to step beyond the safety net of Medicare. Many trying to budget around mortgages and other everyday living expenses consider private health insurance an out-of-reach luxury. It costs ‘dead’ money many can’t justify or simply don’t possess. In the end, the extent of a person’s health care comes down to the size of their pocket in a scenario that ultimately fails to tick society’s morality box.

The public versus private issue doesn’t stop at health. Educating our children also generates a have and have-not environment made even more curious and complicated by the fact that private as well as public schools tap into public coffers. This seems okay when you consider governments these days need help to shoulder the burden of educating our young. Circumstances involving the many different types of educational institutions also vary considerably. But it never looks good when you find yourself comparing a whiz-bang private school, complete with all imaginable trimmings, to a public school struggling to find enough money to replace a 50-year-old portable classroom. Politics and complications aside, there is something inherently wrong in a system of governance that promotes or limits opportunity by individual wealth.

Funding boost for kinders Wimmera kindergartens could benefit from a $500,000 funding boost for small rural services. Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said a new base level of funding for rural kindergartens with eight or fewer children enrolled would be introduced from 2016. She said the kindergartens were eligible for up to $33,000 to help keep their services strong and viable in the face of fluctuating enrolments. Nine Wimmera kindergartens had 14 or fewer enrolments in 2015, and might benefit in 2016: Natimuk, Laharum, Goroke, Hopetoun and Beulah

preschools, and Edenhope, Kaniva, Rupanyup and Minyip kindergartens. The State Government last month announced further support would be targeted to families and kindergartens experiencing financial hardship as a direct result of the drought. Ms Pulford said the funding boost would be on top of the higher funding rates already available to kindergarten services operating in rural areas. “Operating a kindergarten service in a rural or remote area can be challenging, particularly when enrolments shift from year to year,” she said.

Services for autism inquiry Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has encouraged Wimmera people to have their say as part of an inquiry into services for people with autism spectrum disorder. The Victorian Parliament’s Family and Community Development Committee

is considering the adequacy of existing services as well as those to be provided through the NDIS. Ms Kealy said locations of public hearings were yet to be announced, but submissions could be made until March 18, 2016, via www. parliament.vic.gov.au/fcdc/article/2846.

Twenty Coles Horsham staff members have celebrated significant milestones, chalking up 620 years of combined service. Ian Kell, the supermarket’s longest-serving staff member, has worked in the grocery department for 44 years. Co-worker Brian Martin, who joined the team in 1976 aged 24, has celebrated 39 years at the Horsham store. “I was a butcher by trade and saw a job advertised for the meat department,” Mr Martin said. “I took a chance, applied, and I’ve never looked back.” Mr Martin has seen many changes throughout almost four decades, but said one thing had remained the same. “The main highlight for me over the years has been going to work every day with mates,” he said. “I’ve made lifelong friends working at Coles in Horsham and it’s a pleasure going to

work when you know you’re going to be greeted with a yarn and a laugh.” Mr Martin said the store had always focused on helping the community. He said his main memory was a barbecue fundraiser to help out victims of the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, which devastated parts of the community. Now semi-retired, Mr Martin said working at Coles part-time gave him more time to spend with wife Judy. Coles’ Horsham store will celebrate its 40th birthday next year. Coles staff milestones: Ian Kell, 44 years; Brian Martin, 39; Ian Cooke, 38; Barb Sloan, 37; Norma McDonnell, 37; Mark O’Beirne, 33; Ewan McDonnell, 33; Nicholas Orchard, 33; Lorraine Young, 32; Roslyn Burns, 31; Kay Walker, 29; Kevin Williams, 29; Teresa Marchesini, 25; Gary Chester, 24; Helen Kelly, 24; Glen Thornley, 23; Elaine Mitchell, 22; Kim Chester, 22; Phillip Driscoll, 20; Brendan Hallam, 20.

Advisor urges: Stay in control

inancial advisor Rob Goudie has urged Wimmera people caught up in a Christmas rush to pause for a moment to make sure they remain in control of their financial circumstances. Mr Goudie, from Meritum Financial Group and finance columnist with The Weekly Advertiser, said access to money had never been more available and a lack of self-regulation and planning could lead to some people experiencing a serious financial hangover in the new year. He said it was important for people to be conscious of consolidating finances in the new year as the Wimmera economy worked to rebuild its stores of confidence after a poor farming season. “I strongly advise people to think clearly about what they can and can’t afford this Christmas and to make the money they spend on Christmas really count,” he said. “I’m not saying don’t enjoy a season of giving – that’s what Christmas is all about and Wimmera businesses certainly need

people in their stores. But we should all think clearly about how and on what we spend money. This might mean, for example, buying fewer but perhaps higher-quality gifts that have long-term value.” Mr Goudie said research showed Australians wasted about 20 percent of food they bought and this was an area of potential saving at Christmas. “We all love to over-indulge at Christmas but how much should we spend if it is going to go to waste?” he said. Mr Goudie said one of the biggest traps at Christmas was failing to plan or take care when using credit. “The over-use of credit cards during the festive season for items that haven’t been budgeted or planned for can be extremely dangerous. We should all be careful of the potential long-term consequences of using any type of debt, be it credit cards, personal loans or interest-free terms. They all come at an eventual cost,” he said. “There are many simple things we can do to develop saving plans. One for the new year might be putting $2 a

Wednesday, December 16, 2015

week into a jar you can’t easily open. This one simple thing can turn into more than $700 by the end of the year. It is simple but good stuff to remember.”

Farming community

Mr Goudie added the Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians were intrinsically tied to farming success or failure but state and federal governments had been quick to respond to circumstances. He urged farming families and communities affected by poor seasons to take the time to explore support services. “There are a lot of mechanisms in place that would help many people get through the year. It’s a matter of finding what best suits the circumstance. People should go to government websites or call a Drought Information Line on 136 186,” he said. “Regardless of drought conditions we’re experiencing, there is significant confidence in our regional economy. But much of how we take control of this environment comes down to how willing we are to take hold of our circumstances through careful planning.”

Financial help on hand As our farming communities work through another dry season, support agencies, alongside local government, have been working to ensure the health and wellbeing of our rural communities. Part of this process is to inform people in need of all available resources. Connecting Communities aims to build on strong resources in our region and promote the resilience that has seen many people through difficult times in the past.

rural financial counsellor walks into a farmer’s home, sits down at the kitchen table, and addresses financial pain.

A counsellor will not offer a Bandaid solution. Instead, they will spend countless hours, in many meetings, helping to find a light at the end of the tunnel. The role of a rural financial counsellor is privileged. Their sole aim is to help families assess and understand their financial position, while empowering them to make decisions about how to manage change in an uncertain future. A counsellor will provide financial information, business options and guidance to improve operations. They will offer support and set realistic goals, identify risks and establish referrals to other sources of industry, professional and government help. They can help prepare budgets and loan or refinance applications, negotiate with creditors and financial institutions, and help benchmark a farm’s financial performance. It is not the counsellor’s role to criticise the past or set the future in stone. Wimmera South West Rural Financial Counselling Service’s Patrick

Connecting communities

White said counsellors helped identify options and develop action plans. “Our core role is to help manage a client’s cash flow,” he said. “We want our clients to see, from a cash point of view, where they are at and where they need to be.” Patrick is one of three counsellors available to farm families and small rural businesses across the Wimmera. The free service is confidential and independent of financial institutions, welfare organisations and government. “We have nothing to sell and no agenda, we are simply here to help,” Patrick said.

Entitlements

He said many hours were spent helping families access entitlements and fill in application forms. The service uses the Farm Household Allowance and drought concessional loans to help farm families. “What we find is people inquire about these government initiatives, and don’t always fit the bracket,” Patrick said. “But in the process of filling out these forms, gathering data, looking back at the past three to four months’ cash flow, projecting harvest outcomes and outgoings through to June next year, we have a better understanding of where they are now, and where they need to be at the end of the financial year. “These application forms are complex and can take six hours from

start to finish. At the end of the day, regardless of the outcome, they have a clearer understanding of their cash flow and current financial situation and can make a plan.” Financial stress is often coupled with high emotion. Patrick said the service aimed to take information going around in someone’s head and using it to create a clear financial pathway. “We try to take away the emotion and make a cash-flow chart, a visual picture of where we are at and where we need to be,” he said. “We then talk about this plan, what we see in front of us. “We ask, ‘what do we need to do as a farmer to make this work without government assistance? What has to happen? What has to change?’ “Here is our balance sheet, here is where we are now. Here is our cash flow. Where are we going? “We attempt to make sense of their situation, give them an appreciation of where they are at and develop their game plan. “This process also helps decisionmaking and communication between family members.” Patrick said if he could convey one message, it would be ‘don’t self assess’. Rural Financial Counselling delivers effective, flexible and responsive services to those who need a helping hand. A rural financial counsellor can meet on your property, in the office or at an agreed, convenient location. To speak with a rural financial counsellor, call 1300 735 578 or email admin@wswrcs.com.au.

Kealy continues to fight for roads

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has continued to lobby the State Government to address the deteriorating condition of roads across her electorate.

She said she had lost count of the number of letters she had sent to Roads and Road Safety Minister Luke Donnellan on behalf of councils, businesses and individuals. “I’ve provided countless examples for the urgent need to fund and improve the appalling condition of roads across western Victoria,” Ms Kealy said. “In parliament, I have raised specific examples such as the Wimmera Highway between Natimuk and Mt Arapiles to highlight the roads’ terrible state and called for immediate action. “Minister Luke Donnellan has continued to reject all invitations to visit western Victoria and to see our worst roads first-hand. “The Andrews Labor government has continued to ignore country communities. “They must understand how important roads are in regional Victoria, and it’s disappointing that the dire need for funding continues to be ignored.”

Wednesday, December 16, 2015

Ms Kealy said failure to maintain road surfaces to a safe standard presented an unnecessary and unacceptable danger to families, commercial drivers and other commuters using rural and regional roads. “Families and businesses also suffer financially when roads are not maintained to a safe standard, through physical damage to vehicles,” she said. Ms Kealy lodged a petition in State Parliament earlier this year with more than 700 signatures supporting a need for funding to improve and maintain roads in Lowan. “We need more money invested in country roads, not less,” she said. Ms Kealy also launched a campaign to improve country roads with a ‘Call to Action’ for residents to report hazards directly to VicRoads. “If everyone can report road hazards to VicRoads it will give them the evidence to demand additional state funding,” she said. “I urge everyone to report any road hazards directly to VicRoads by phoning 13 11 70 or visit my website www.emmakealy.com/road_hazards. “I assure the Lowan electorate that I will continue to lobby the State Government to deliver our fair share of funding for country roads.”

immera Uniting Care’s Annual Christmas Appeal is in full swing, with volunteers busily collecting gifts and delivering them to Horsham Salvation Army which helps with distribution.

The gift appeal is open until Christmas Eve. Acting chief executive officer Leeanne Thomson said agency staff and volunteers were blown away by the generosity shown so far. “It is really humbling to see the donations come flowing in, especially on the back of consecutive drought years, recent bushfires and an economy which sees many people tightening the belt,” she said. Ms Thomson said Uniting Care and Target’s goal to raise $1 million this year looked promising, with more than $317,000 donated since the appeal was launched in November. Target is asking customers to add $1 to their Christmas shop, with profits going towards the appeal. Donations are acknowledged with a bauble gift tags. “Wimmera Uniting Care received more than $1500 worth of donations in the first two weeks

Ms Thomson said if families or individuals across the Wimmera would like to access the appeal, they could register with the Horsham Salvation Army. She said more information about the appeal, including drop-off points, gift ideas and online donation links were available by visiting www. wuc.org.au.

National crop yield research Researchers are gathering crop-performance data from hundreds of paddocks across Australia’s grain belt to help growers close the ‘yield gap’ and maximise farm profitability. Grains Research and Development Corporation, GRDC, is funding the National Paddock Survey, which aims to determine the difference between yield and potential yield and provide growers resources to close the gap. The National Paddock Survey is a joint project led by BCG, Birchip Cropping Group, in association with CSIRO, farming-systems groups and agronomic consultants in southern, western and northern cropping regions. Crop-performance data will be collected throughout the cropping cycle on two production zones in 250 paddocks nationally and correlated to plant water use. The data will be used to identify the major constraints to production in different regions and soil types. The project started this year with sorghum summer crops in the north, and then expanded to include winter crops. It is due for completion in 2018.

Pop-up libraries prove popular let’s

READ with Tim Shaw

EARLY BOOKS: Sharynne O’Brien points out details in a book to Peter Aird, 16 months, while Jayden Romeril, one, explores books in a tub. Picture: BARRY KING

The Weekly Advertiser has joined forces with Wimmera Southern Mallee LLEN to promote literacy across the region. Tim Shaw provides insight through a series of columns about the early years Let’s Read program gaining traction across the region. He also outlines why improving literacy is important to our communities. BY TIM SHAW

he Wimmera is at the forefront of a global ‘pop-up’ trend with the creation of pop-up libraries across the region. The first pop-up library in Horsham is at Wimmera Uniting Care’s Early Parenting Centre in Darlot Street. Pop-up libraries take books to the people. They will be in places where families go, including playgroups, shops, maternal and child health centres and waiting rooms. Children and families can take a book, enjoy reading it and then return it to any pop-up library in the town. The books for the pop-up libraries were donated by Horsham and district residents through a Let’s Read book drive, which was suggested by Horsham Cr Robin Barber. Donation bins were set up by the council at council offices, Horsham library and Horsham Plaza. People donated more than 740 children’s books and organisers bought another 200 books

from a Horsham College book fair. Wimmera Southern Mallee LLEN has sorted and branded the books and set up pop-up library tubs for use throughout the municipality. The first pop-up libraries were successfully established in Warracknabeal earlier this year by the Warracknabeal Oral Reading Development Strategy or WORDS group. The Wimmera-wide pop-up libraries are projects of the Let’s Read programs in Horsham and Hindmarsh, West Wimmera and Yarriambiack shires. Early Parenting Centre co-ordinator Wendy Brown: “This will be great for our families. We read books to the children every day and they will now be able to take their favourite book home to read. Reading and talking to children

is really important for their development.” The pop-up libraries will ensure all families have access to a wide range of books. They will also increase the community’s awareness of the importance of reading daily to children. The Let’s Read program provides families with a Let’s Read bag at four different child-age points. The bag contains a new book, a ‘read aloud’ DVD, a reading tips sheet, a recommended book list and a library flyer. Families receive the resources and support from maternal and child health nurses for their children at four months, 12 months, 18 months and three and a half. Let’s Read is an early-years literacy program designed to support families

with reading to their children from birth to improve their language and literacy development. The Centre for Community Child Health at the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne developed the program. The Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and The Smith Family have helped implement Let’s Read to communities across Australia. Pop-up libraries will be progressively rolled out to Wimmera and southern Mallee communities in the new year. It is an exciting project that will see thousands of books available to all families in the region. This will encourage families to join their local library and access the wide range of books, DVDs, CDs and online resources available at no cost.

Sue Maslin, who accepted one of five awards for the film at Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards in Sydney last week, said the Wimmera had been an integral part of the project’s success. “I would happily come back. We’ll have to see what author Rosalie Ham can come up with next,” she said. Ham’s novel of the same name produced inspiration for the comedy-drama, which last week became Australia’s 13th biggest box-office success of all time. Film production involved filming at several Wimmera locations including Longer-

enong, Jung, Murtoa and Murra Warra, with a base in Horsham. Production also involved the casting of many ‘extras’ from the region. Ms Maslin said The Dressmaker, apart from being a cinematic and collaborative artistic success, had been a major promotion for the Wimmera. “It certainly put Horsham and the surrounding area on the world stage. Everyone has asked where we did the filming and from overseas in particular, there has been a lot of interest. It is so unique. It’s the sense of openness that has really attracted people to the story,” she said. The Dressmaker, nominated for 13 AACT awards, won five – Kate Winslett for best lead actress, Hugo Weaving, best supporting actor, Judy Davis, best supporting actress, Marion Boyce, best costume design,

and a Peoples Choice award. Ms Maslin said the People’s Choice award was ‘icing on the cake’. “To win that award reflected why we do all this. It was everything we hoped for in the past seven years. It was always a dream for The Dressmaker to become an Australian classic and it’s well on the way of becoming that,” she said. “I’m so proud of all the artistry, the talent, work and passion the cast and crew poured into it. They went above and beyond and now it’s all up there on screen and what audiences are really responding to.” Ms Maslin said director Jocelyn Moorhouse, who returned to the industry after a 19-year absence, was already busy writing another script and Rosalie Ham was thinking about a sequel to her novel.

Nomination call for black-spots

ederal parliamentarians Dan Tehan and Andrew Broad have called for people to nominate mobilephone black-spot locations by December 31.

They said nominations had to be in before the end of the year for consideration under the second round of a Commonwealth Mobile Black Spot Program. Mr Tehan, Member for Wannon and Mr Broad, Member for Mallee, called for nominations from their electorates. “The Commonwealth government has committed $60 million, which will help provide new or upgraded mobile coverage in Wannon,” Mr Tehan said. “I strongly encourage residents of Wannon to nominate mobile black spots.” Mr Broad said mobile black

spots were a major issue for the region and the best way to address concerns in a specific area was to nominate a second-round location. “It is important to understand locations nominated in round one automatically roll over into round two and therefore, do not need to be renominated,” he said. “Areas such as Laharum and the Wartook Valley for example, have already been identified as priorities in round two. “Round-two nominations should focus on areas not previously put forward and I strongly urge everyone to become involved with the process.” Mr Broad said the program aimed to service areas with poor or no mobile coverage and round one demonstrated the extent of the problem, at-

tracting more than 6000 nominations across the country. He said the Wimmera and Mallee did well overall from round-one, with 266 nominated black spots being addressed. But he added there were key areas that missed out that he wanted selected in round two. The program involves a competitive selection process based on a list of criteria. It is scheduled to begin early in the New Year. The Federal Government expects to announce the next round of locations by the end of the year. Nominations need to be submitted by close of business on December 31. People seeking more information, including how to nominate and for access to coverage maps, can visit website www.communications. gov.au/mobile_coverage.

The Ararat Arts Precinct Redevelopment has now been bolstered with news of a $945,000 Commonwealth grant as a part of the National Stronger Regions Fund. This funding took the total project budget to around $6 million and when completed, it will transform the heart of Ararat into a vibrant community space and really put us on the map in terms of cultural activities. The project will see the Ararat Performing Arts Centre and Ararat Regional Art Gallery spaces redeveloped to create new performance and exhibition spaces. It marks the first significant overhaul of the arts precinct since the 1970s. This investment will help attract high calibre events, performances and exhibitions to Ararat.

eye on salinity levels. Our goal is to maximise the habitat for aquatic life so it can endure the extremes of summer.” Mr Brennan said with limited water available for environmental releases because of ongoing dry conditions, it was important to maximise the releases both environmentally and socially when possible. “Wimmera CMA is continuing to work with agencies and community groups to minimise the effects of dry conditions,” he said. “This spring was the driest on record for parts the Wimmera,

and follows three years of wellbelow average inflows into the Wimmera River catchment.”

Dimboola

The 15-year average inflow into the Wimmera River Catchment, measured at Glynwylln north of Stawell in the upper catchment, is 19,365 megalitres. Since January this year, about 8ML has flowed past Glynwylln. Environmental water released from Taylors Lake into the Wimmera River in October reached Dimboola in late November.

Flow

Mr Brennan said the latest flow of environmental water was likely to stop at Dimboola weir. He said as part of the watering plan, the next ‘small’ release was planned about February next year. Some of the water might be retained in Horsham weir to support community events. It would then be released to provide a flush of fresh water for downstream pools. Horsham’s annual fishing contest on the Wimmera River is on the Labor Day long weekend in March.

Flow (ML/day)

Horsham Rural City Council has opened the weir to allow water to flow through in line with Wimmera Catchment Management Authority’s summer environmental watering schedule. The authority chief executive David Brennan said some environmental water had stayed in the weir pool for a short time to achieve greater environmental benefit and support community events. The events included a fundraiser for Wimmera Health Care Group, the 36th Kannamaroo Festival and the inaugural Horsham Thai Loy Krathong Festival. The water dropped about 30 centimetres in Horsham after the weir opened. Mr Brennan said the fresh water making its way downstream of Horsham would help protect native fish and other aquatic life. “By holding the water back at Horsham weir, we are able to release enough fresh water to mix with the water in a number of deep pools to disperse and dilute salt in the river,” he said. “Monitoring technology allows us to measure the effect of this fresh water and keep an

he water level of the Wimmera River in Horsham has dropped as part of a summer environmental release plan to maintain the health of the waterway.

INSIGHT: Monitoring technology enables Wimmera CMA to measure the effect of environmental water releases on salty pools in the Wimmera River. The graph shows how salinity levels dropped upstream of Dimboola after environmental water from an October release arrived.

Mr Brennan said people looking for more information about environmental water releases could visit website www.wcma. vic.gov.au, follow Wimmera CMA on Facebook or phone the office on 5382 1544. Water savings created by Wimmera-Mallee and Northern Mallee pipelines has provided an opportunity for the environmental watering program. The Victorian Environmental Water Holder, which works with catchment management authorities, wants to buy an additional 10,000 megalitres for Wimmera and Glenelg rivers.

Summer report card now available Northern Grampians Shire Council will continue its push to support primary producers through dry seasonal conditions. Cr Tony Driscoll said it was important the council focused on the agriculture industry in difficult times. “Agriculture is our shire’s third largest sector in terms of output, contributing more than $136 million to the local economy each year,” he said. “It is also our second largest employer, making up 13.6 per cent of the municipality’s workforce. “Council is continuing to work closely with the state and federal governments to ensure that as many resources as possible are made available to our farmers to get them through this difficult time, and to help them prepare for similar conditions should they occur again in the future.” The full summer 201516 economic report card can be downloaded from www.ngshire.vic.gov.au.

Research: CO2 increases yield

immera trials assessing the effect of elevated carbon dioxide levels on wheat crops has revealed a 26 percent average yield increase.

But benefits of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on wheat crops could be offset by warmer temperatures. Researchers working on an Australian Grains FreeAir CO2, AGFAC, project at Grains Innovation Park in Horsham tabled the results based on potential atmospheric conditions associated with climate change. The trials compared present carbon dioxide levels of 390 parts each million with elevated levels of 550ppm by pumping the gas into the air above trial plots. Research scientist James Nuttall said elevated carbon dioxide, CO2, reduced water loss from the plant’s leaves. “At higher concentrations of CO2, the stomata in plants do not have to open as much to absorb the required carbon, so less moisture is lost through leaf transpiration. This means more water might be available for plant growth,” he said.

Farm consultants from across south-east Australia saw details while visiting the AGFACE site as part of a Federal Government-funded Carbon Farming Knowledge Project. The project is designed to help advisors prepare clients for the effect of climate change and understand the potential benefits of future carbon-management policy including the government’s Emissions Reduction Fund. The advisors work with about 600 broadacre farmers and at least 25 grower groups to increase their knowledge base and carbon farming skills.

Heat offset

Dr Nuttall said results were not all good news for grain growers. “The trials have shown that when looking at the effects of increased CO2 levels, yields are significantly higher,” he said. “However in practice this will not happen in isolation and the effect of higher temperatures on yields might offset this benefit.” The optimal temperature for wheat development is between 22 to 25 degrees, with temperatures above 32 degrees lead-

ing to reduced grain size and quality. Mr Nuttall said climatechange modelling indicated the potential of higher temperatures and more frequent occurrences of extreme heat. Researchers are investigating ways growers might take advantage of the improved yield response. “This is great news for growers who will need to find a way to profitably grow crops in a more variable climate,” Dr Nuttall said. “The trials so far have shown a reduction in protein content of about one percent but we are investigating varietal differences and agronomic practices to determine if we can minimise this loss. The objective is to give growers the best tools to use in the changing environment.”

Early trials have indicated lentils might have a stronger reaction to elevated CO2, with a 30 to 40 percent yield increase at 550ppm. This means in the future lentils might potentially play a greater role in profitable cropping rotations – in the absence of other factors.

The council won the Best Overall Campaign – Regional for the trail, which encourages people to think creatively about how they can reuse items that might otherwise be put out for waste collection and possibly end up in landfill. Councillor Karen Hyslop said the award recognised outstanding marketing and promotion by a regional council. “Northern Grampians Shire’s Garage Sale Trail generated 27 media stories and reached more than 2.8 million people. It really is an incredible result for a small council in its first year of the trail,” she said. “We also finished in 15th position for the number of garage sales per capita in Victoria. “These results are because

News briefs YMCA lease

Grampians YMCA will lease part of Stawell’s former Taylors Gully Childcare Centre building next year. Northern Grampians Shire Council granted the lease for the D’Arcy Street property last week. Northern Grampians Mayor Murray Emerson said the YMCA would work with existing tenants, Stawell and District Preschool Association and the council’s maternal and child health services to ensure a smooth transition for all parties. He said the lease was an excellent outcome for all concerned. “The council is very pleased to be leasing part of the D’Arcy Street building to the YMCA,” he said. “The YMCA will look to introduce an increased range of innovative services, meaning more opportunities for our residents. “Closing our childcare services at Taylors Gully was a difficult decision but this is a great result. “As well as creating a significant saving for the council, we’ll have introduced more programs and services for our community.” Grampians Region YMCA chief executive Brooke LeSueur said the organisation looked forward to moving into the building. “We’re excited to be pro-

viding quality children’s and family services in an environment that fosters relationships between families, services and the broader community,” she said. The lease will start on January 1, 2016, with services to start in February.

Shop in town

Victorian Regional Development Minister Jaala Pulford has urged the people of the Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians to make sure they shop for Christmas in their home towns. She said in a letter to The Weekly Advertiser that small business was the backbone of regional centres and it was important to provide support. “New technology means a lot of people buy Christmas presents online, but every dollar spent online is a dollar that can’t be used to employ local young people or improve shops in our local communities,” she said. “Statistics show that almost five-million Australians are employed in small business. Ms Pulford said towns across western Victoria offered terrific gift shops, butchers, bakers, grocers, cafes, pubs and an array of other businesses. “We need to encourage and support them at the till,” she said. Ms Pulford said by supporting small business, regional shoppers ensured the future of their businesses, which in turn

provided employment opportunities. “My message to your readers is simple – please visit your local shopping strips and small businesses and spend a dollar with them this Christmas. It’s good for them, it’s good for you and it’s good for your community,” she said.

Be water safe

State Government Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett has urged Victorians to be vigilant with young children around water this summer. She made the call after a new report revealed children aged four and under continued to be at risk of drowning or close calls. Ms Garrett said the 2014-15 Drowning Report showed four children aged up to four died from drowning, and there were at least another 20 near-drownings. Most incidents occurred around the home – in bathtubs, spas and private swimming pools. The report also found men were at the greatest risk of drowning, particularly aged between 15 and 64. Of the 39 deaths in 2014-15, 35 were men. Alcohol and risky behaviour were major contributing factors. Overall, the number of drowning deaths decreased from 47 in 2013-14 to 39 in 2014-15. The majority of drownings occurred in coastal waterways, 49 percent, followed by inland waterways, 31 percent.

ACCESS: Specialist fire-fighting hover exit crews in action in the Wimmera.

Remote fire crews

he arrival of a Firebird 301 helicopter for the Victorian fire season heralded annual training for Horsham-based specialist firefighting hover exit crews.

Fire-fighting services deploy hover exit crews to fight fires, often caused by lightning strikes in remote areas inaccessible to vehicles. During the fire season, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning has two hover exit fire crews based in Horsham.

The department’s Wimmera district manager Russell Manning said crews were trained to drop from a helicopter while it hovered about a metre above ground or rock in areas where ground vegetation or terrain prevented the aircraft landing. “Hover exit fire-fighters work in remote and inaccessible places, such as scrub or rock in the Grampians and heath areas of national parks such as Little Desert,” he said. “Fires in these areas are largely caused by lightning. If

not accessed and suppressed immediately these fires can grow in size quickly. “Even with the aid of firebombing aircraft, the ultimate control of the fires comes down to department crews getting to every fire to ensure all burning material is completely extinguished. “Hover exit training is annual and crew members must also undertake refresher training every three to four weeks over summer.”

Financial checklist for the New Year

s we move towards the end of yet another year and ponder how fast the past 12 months have come and gone, many of us find ourselves thinking about the coming year and our aspirations for the future.

Let’s face it, we’ve worked hard throughout the year and now is the time to reflect on what we have achieved; where we want to go; and what we need to get there. These times of reflection are critical to our lives whether we run our own business, are employed or retired. A financial checklist is an excellent tool to see how you are progressing towards your goals and to help iden-

tify any specific areas you might need to focus on in the immediate future.

Issues: Home-loan review

If you’re still making repayments, is it time to revisit your progress? Are you able to increase your payment amounts or frequency to save interest? With interest rates so low, should you refinance for a better deal or lock in a low fixed rate?

Other debts

Review the amount of personal

loans, credit card or other debts being paid off. If the total of all loans exceeds 10 percent of household income, you need to implement a plan to reduce them as a matter of priority. Consolidating debts could help control interest.

Savings

How much money did you save this past year? Are you spending first and saving what’s left? If your savings aren’t as healthy as you would have hoped by this time of the year, remember to pay yourself first by allocating up to 10 percent of your income to a regular savings plan.

Insurance

When illness or accidents strike,

most people are caught insufficiently protected. It’s important to regularly review your insurance policies to ensure that you and your family have adequate cover. When was the last time you reviewed your insurance cover?

Superannuation

What is the current value of your super? If you don’t know, now is a good time to check. Is it working as hard as it should be? Are the fees reasonable? Are you on track to meet your retirement needs or should you start making extra contributions?

DOUBLE CELEBRATION: Stawell Rotary Club members will enjoy two Christmases this year. The club brightened the gloom of a cold winter by celebrating Christmas in July. Members, past members and friends of Rotary met at Diamond House for a traditional Christmasstyle meal, presents and good company. The jolly group, dressed in their best Christmas gear, was joined by Santa Claus, Mother Claus and a plum pudding. Pictured enjoying the dinner are, from left, back, Hal Fry, John Artz, Kimberley Gehan and Des Pickford; front, John Launder, Kay Grinham, Joyce Dowsett, Helen Brooks, Pauline Shirrefs, Judy Artz, Judi Pickford and Robin Kelly.

Living

Your will

Making a will itself is not particularly difficult or even terribly expensive.

It is a fact of life that people get married, have children, change relationships, get divorced or establish new interests. Left unaddressed, any of these could result in a will being legally challenged. Estate planning matters such as powers of attorney and health directives should be regularly reviewed in addition to your will. You don’t have to wait until the first day of January to review your financial situation – do it today, and you might find your other New Year resolutions are more easily achievable as a result. • Robert Goudie is an authorised representative at Meritum Financial Group.

Fitness coaching lease Fitopia will continue to run fitness and lifestyle coaching from Stawell Leisure Complex after Northern Grampians Shire Council granted the business a new long-term lease. The business started leasing part of the building, formerly used for squash courts, in November 2007.

Education Celebration

New Warracknabeal principal in 2016

arracknabeal Secondary College has formally appointed acting principal Michael BriggsMiller to the top job for 2016.

Mr Briggs-Miller, a former youth worker who was part of the first non-teaching graduate group to undergo the Teach for Australia six-week training program, said he was thrilled to have his position confirmed for the next five years. “It is a great way to end the year with the leadership of the college decided,” he said. “I can now work and plan over the holiday break to make sure 2016 is a great year for Warracknabeal Secondary College.” Mr Briggs-Miller said it was an exciting time for the college, which had received $412,000 to invest in infrastructure and buildings. He said the college would also use equity funding to resource a whole-school literacy approach. The college will offer 15 subjects in 2016 and will introduce specialist maths, literature and business management. “They are small classes of two students, being offered locally,” he said. “We also have two new creative arts subjects, drama and media studies.” The school will expand its Hands On Learning program to two groups next year. The program aims to prevent the harm of early school leaving and supports

vulnerable students to stay and achieve at school. The college will offer hospitality as part of Vocational Education and Training in Schools – VETis – in term two. Mr Briggs-Miller said the school had enjoyed a successful year in 2015. “We have had a commitment to relationship-centred education, camps in each year level from seven to 10 and small class sizes,” he said. He said students also participated in Relay for Life, RACV Energy Breakthrough and the Advance program, which enabled young people to volunteer in their community. “We have a commitment to community connection through our PACE, VCAL and SVCAL programs, with community service a large part of these programs,” he said. “We also have a commitment to practical pathways – Hands on Learning, VCAL and SVCAL programs have close ties to the community and regional workplaces.” Mr Briggs-Miller said the college was pleased to win a ResourceSmart Education Award for ‘Student-led Action Team of the Year’. The ResourceSmart awards, run by Sustainability Victoria, is the state’s largest sustainability awards program for schools and early childhood services. Warracknabeal Secondary College celebrated the 2015 school year at a presentation night last night.

LEADING THE WAY: Warracknabeal Secondary College won a ResourceSmart Education Award for ‘Student-led Action Team of the Year’ in 2015.

SOLDIER ON: Students, right, don camouflage gear and war paint for the school social.

2015 has been a great year for DMSC!

Education Celebration

Changes ahead

denhope College will introduce changes next year to improve student learning environments.

The college has been busy preparing for 2016, including assessment of information accumulated from year-long student and parent feedback. Principal Robyn Hollis said the feedback indicated senior students would like a more comprehensive approach to support services in years 11 and 12. “In particular, students indicated they wanted a quiet study area and improved access to career information,” she said. “We had two old portable classrooms removed from the school during the year and we took this opportunity to re-assess the way in which we are using our learning spaces alongside the feedback provided by students and parents. “We believe the changes will provide the senior school with an enhanced and dedicated learning space that will optimise their learning. “The primary staff and

classes will now be working more closely.” Ms Hollis said changes to support improvements were: • Bringing all primary classes, Years F-6 into the main Primary block. • Creating a senior-school learning precinct in a ‘BER’ building, previously the centre for year three to six students. Year 11 and 12 classes will be in this building with a few exceptions. • The centre classroom in the ‘BER’ becoming a year 11 and 12 study area and a student lounge during recess and lunch breaks. • Moving a careers office to the senior school precinct. • Moving senior school leader offices to a senior school precinct to be more accessible to students. • Moving primary wellbeing to a refurbished room, previously the year-12 common room, with more space for small groups. • Moving a QuickSmart Literacy and Numeracy program into a former careers office. • Running Virtual Learning spaces primarily from the centre and seminar room. • Year-seven students con-

tinuing to use the centre as their main learning space. • Year eight, nine and 10 students having some of their classes in a theory room and specialist rooms. • Year 10 students having some classes in the tenior school precinct. • Moving a German language program to a textiles room. • Senior maths, biology and physics continuing to use their regular classrooms, near science resources.

Science focus

Ms Hollis said the school was also responding to a state and national drive for a more direct focus and promotion of science in schools. She added that 2016 would also be the final year of the 2013-2016 School Strategic Plan. “We will be evaluating the 2013-2016 plan and creating new aspirational targets for the next four years. We will be seeing feedback from our school community during this process,” she said. Edenhope College will have its award presentations tonight.

College sponsors stage curtain Horsham College has thrown its support behind the Horsham Town Hall redevelopment by donating $5000 to sponsor a stage curtain.

College acting assistant principal Brandi Galpin said the new town hall and art gallery redevelopment would be fantastic for Horsham. “We cannot wait to perform on the stage and showcase the talent in our school and community,” she said. Fundraising committee chairwoman, Horsham councillor Pam Clarke, said she was delighted the school had decided to support the town hall. “The redeveloped town hall will provide students with an opportunity to perform on a stateof-the-art stage here in Horsham,” she said. “It is exciting to be able to offer these facilities to school and community groups throughout the region. Students will now be able to further de-

velop their skills without having to travel outside Horsham. “It will certainly build stronger links between the college and the town hall.” Cr Clarke said there would be a series of celebrations to open Horsham Town Hall and Regional Art Gallery from January 29 to February 14, 2016. The gallery will reopen on January 29 with the ‘Smiling when I Wake’ collection. The box office will be open for ticket sales from February 1. “This is an exciting time for our community,” Cr Clarke said. Horsham Town Hall fundraising committee aims to raise $1 million. Horsham College’s sponsorship brings the total to more than $750,000. People can call Angela Murphy at 5382 9743 or visit www.horshamtownhall.com.au for more information about sponsorship opportunities.

lder drivers who are in the market for a new vehicle will find it easier to determine its safety with the release of an updated safety advice brochure by Victoria’s RACV.

The Make the Right Choice brochure was updated following RACV-commissioned research, which looked at how older drivers perceive emerging vehicle safety technologies, their understanding of the technologies and whether new vehicle safety features would influence the type of vehicle they purchase. RACV road user behaviour manager Melinda Spiteri said it was important for older drivers to put safety first when choosing a car.

“Vehicle safety technology is important for all drivers but particularly important for older motorists as they have a higher risk of sustaining serious or life threatening injuries in the event of a crash because of their increased frailty,” she said. “Older drivers are generally considered to be safe, experienced, cautious and more lawabiding. However, health and medical conditions more common with ageing can make us more susceptible to injuries.” Ms Spiteri said the research found that older drivers have limited knowledge or understanding of new vehicle safety technologies. “The Make the Right Choice brochure is a handy, easy to read guide that provides infor-

mation on what makes a safe car, why it’s important to buy a safe car and what safety features to consider when buying a vehicle,” she said. “For example, Autonomous Emergency Braking, AEB, is a beneficial technology for all drivers, but is particularly beneficial for people whose reaction times are not as quick as they used to be. AEB could assist them in those rare emergency situations where they are unable to stop in time.” Ms Spiteri said the brochure also dispelled some common myths, such as the mistaken belief that airbags injure people and that people only needed a car fitted with the latest safety technology if they are a bad driver. She said the results of the

RACV research also had a take-home message for car manufacturers. “Older drivers say they want to be reassured the vehicle they are considering buying will keep them and their passengers safe,” she said. “Many consider the standard safety features of a vehicle, like airbags and Electronic Stability Control, as an indication of the vehicles overall level of safety. “If some of the newer technologies like AEB were to become standard in all new cars, this would not only improve perceptions of vehicle safety, but also improve the safety of all road users.” The Make the Right Choice brochure can be downloaded from racv.com.au/olderdrivers.

Ford test centre 50th milestone

ord’s You Yangs proving ground in Victoria has turned 50, and, like many middle-aged Australians, it has never been busier.

The Blue Oval company threw open the 930-hectare centre to Australian motoring journalists for a peek inside the usually secret environs, while at the same time giving them a taste of the newly arrived Mustang muscle car on one of the many test tracks. It is somewhat appropriate that this imported Yankee interloper – the spiritual substitute for the Australian-developed big-banger Falcons – should make its local debut at the place where the first true-blue Australian performance Falcon, the ‘Mustang-bred’ 1967 XR GT, first turned a tyresmoking wheel. Like golden anniversary bookends on a golden chapter of Australian motoring history, the two muscle cars went on display side-by-side at the proving ground, where an entirely new golden chapter is being written by more than 300 engineers, technicians and support staff who form a critical part of Ford Motor Company’s global new-model development network. Working around the clock, the engineers are toiling on multiple projects for international markets, all under the cloak of secrecy. The hectic workload at the proving ground is in great contrast to the diminishing activities at Ford’s Broadmeadows assembly plant, where production is set to end next year. While Ford will not discuss new-model projects underway at the You Yangs, it is happy to talk about past vehicle development triumphs, including the

Ford Ranger that is now sold in 180 markets around the world, and the related Everest SUV. The Ford Figo – a Fiestabased, Indian-built light hatchback for developing markets – also saw light of day on the sun-burned plains in the shadows of the barren You Yangs hills, at Lara, near Geelong. The Chinese-market Ford Taurus and Escort small car were also put through their paces by the proving ground team that works hand in hand with colleagues at two other vehicle development facilities in Victoria – the Asia-Pacific design and engineering centre at Cambellfield, in Melbourne’s north, and the Geelong Research and Development Centre. All up, the company employs more than 1100 highly skilled workers on vehicle development, some of who were recruited from arch-rival Holden as it slashed its Australian engineering force in recent years. The expansion at the proving ground is evident, with a large new office building now dominating the landscape, replacing portable buildings that were added to cope with the influx of new talent. Ford has spent more than $300 million on vehicle research and development this year, bringing the six-year tally to $2 billion. Ford Australia president and chief executive Graeme Whickman said it was important to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the proving ground, while also highlighting the continuing role it played in both the immediate community and Ford Australia. “We’re very proud of the fact the Ford team in Australia has been recognised as the ‘go to guys’ for vehicle development,” he said.

Mr Whickman said the proving ground, the $27 million Geelong Research and Development Centre and the AsiaPacific Engineering Centre in Campbellfield were “instrumental in Ford’s on-going investment story, as the company continued to build its capability as an innovator and centre of excellence for the Asia Pacific region post-2017.” Mr Whickman said Ford would be the biggest automotive employer in Australia once car manufacturing ceased in 2017. Located about 50-km southwest of Melbourne, the proving ground has more than 80km of roads, tracks and other surfaces such as skid pans and water dips to test ride, handling, NVH, noise, vibration and harshness, and dust and water resistance of its vehicles. Hidden away in the various buildings are the Advanced Centre for Automotive Research and Testing, ACART, a Vehicle Semi-Anechoic Chamber, VSAC, a kinematics and compliance rig and a High Speed Centre. The proving ground also boasts a crash-test centre with high-speed cameras. The centre was opened in 1965 – about eight years after Holden opened its proving ground at Lang Lang, also in Victoria, in 1957. According to Ford, one of the first tests of the fledgling facility was a 112,600km endurance run for the 1965 Falcon XP sedan, setting 49 Australian endurance records along the way. Since then, every Ford Falcon generation has been tested and perfected at the proving ground, right up to the current – and last – model, the FG X. Ron Hammerton Go Auto Media 2015

TESTING TIMES: Ford’s You Yangs proving ground might be 50 years old, but it is now at the epicentre of Australian vehicle development for global markets.

Face-lifted Toyota RAV4 arrives

oyota’s refreshed small SUV contender has landed on Australian soil with a new look, extra comfort and safety equipment options and a small pricing shuffle, kicking off from $27,990 before on-road costs for the base manual two-wheel drive GX.

That price represents a $500 increase over the previous base version, which is common to all two-wheel-drive petrol variants fitted with a manual gearbox, but the Japanese car-maker says all versions are more desirable with the new styling and a more comfortable ride. As before, the range is split into eight offerings starting with the most affordable 2WD GX and $31,990 GXL, which are available with a six-speed manual gearbox or seven-speed continuously variable transmission, which adds $2000. Four-wheel drive petrol RAV4s get a larger 2.5-litre naturally aspirated engine over the 2.0-litre base variant and are only available with a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission, starting with the $32,990 GX, a mid-range $36,990 GXL and

top-spec Cruiser for $44,990. A 2.2-litre diesel tops off the RAV4 range with a GX and GXL priced from $35,990 and $39,990 respectively, or $2000 more when fitted with the sixspeed automatic. The rangetopping diesel Cruiser is only available as an auto, priced from $49,490. Those new prices have crept up by $2000 for the GX and GXL, while the Cruiser diesel now costs $1000 more than in the previous version. A new particulate filter has cut diesel emissions and all three four-cylinder power plants conform to Euro-5 standards. The new RAV4 look consists of a redesigned front bumper, which adds 35mm to the overall RAV4 length and is complemented by LED projector headlights for both main and dipped beam. Rear LED tail-lights freshen the other end of the RAV4, while new-look wheel arch mouldings and side sills complete the makeover for all variants. GXL versions also gain a shark fin antenna and a new 18inch alloy wheel set versus the 17-inch hoops fitted to the GX. Inside, the updated RAV4 has

MORE RAV4 YOU: Toyota’s popular RAV4 has been given a 2016 refresh, including a more serene cabin and greater levels of standard safety equipment for top-spec Cruiser.

a new matte black interior trim with contrasting silver, while the centre console can now accommodate handled cups and sunglasses, while rear passengers can charge 12-volt devices. Ride comfort for all variants comes as a result of greater use of sound insulation, a more rigid rear body shell section and revised suspension dampener and spring rate for a more compliant but stable ride. GXL and Cruiser variants

have a new two-dial instrument cluster, which gains a 4.2-inch colour screen for displaying vehicle information to the driver, the GXL has a self-dimming rear-view mirror and Cruisers have more colour options for its part-leather interior, depending on the exterior colour. A raft of extra safety equipment is also offered as standard for the updated Cruiser and optionally for the automatic GXL. The technology pack

costs $2500 and adds pre-collision warning with automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert and front parking radar. Other options include premium paint colours for $550 or a full-size spare wheel for GX variants costing $300. The 2016 RAV4 also has a choice of new colours including Hazel, Blue Gem and Deep Red, which replaces Wildfire.

Kees on the hunt BY KATE-LYN PERKIN

Central Wimmera Tennis draw

op side Kalkee will be looking for redemption in Central Wimmera Tennis Association’s pennant competition this week when it takes on Horsham lawn.

The top side had a shock loss to Natimuk last week while Lawn is coming off a strong win and will try take advantage of the Kees while they are down. Natimuk, on a massive high, will play Central Park with last week’s night match suggesting it might simply started the season badly. Consistent Central Park will need to be on the ball and Lana Brown, who took the singles crown last week, will the one to watch. St Michaels and Drung South will do battle in the final match. Drung South, hoping to field it’s top side, will need a victory to maintain a solid position in third spot. This will be the match to watch this week. In A Special, Brimpaen will attempt to redeem itself against Drung South White. Brimpaen couldn’t get over the line last week in a close match against Haven, losing 6-8.

OVERSEAS ADVENTURE: Horsham’s Luke Hobbs will head to Indonesia today to photograph the first Asian Drifting Grand Prix series. Mr Hobbs has photographed Australia’s premier drifting series for the past five years. Picture: LUKE HOBBS

Pennant: Horsham Lawn v Kalkee, Central Park v Natimuk, Drung South v Horsham Lawn. A Special: Brimpaen v Drung South White, St Michaels v Horsham Lawn, Central Park v Telangatuk East, Drung South Blue v Haven. A Grade: Natimuk v Central Park, Haven v Laharum, Quantong v Homers, Kalkee v Brimpaen. B Special: Noradjuha v Haven Green, Horsham Lawn Massey v St Michaels, Haven Black v Drung South, Laharum Blue v Horsham Lawn O’Connor, Laharum Red, bye. Drung South White proved it was the stronger side at Drung and will need to keep up its consistency. Both Horsham Lawn and St Michaels will be looking for improvement. St Michaels forfeited and Horsham Lawn got their rackets handed to them by Telangatuk East, winning only four sets for the day. A heat rule will most likely come into play this week but both sides need to win to stay in the competition. After a surprise rest last week Central Park will host Telangatuk East, who is the side to beat but will need to produce its best game. Central Park can be full of surprises, depending on who

lines up. But the experience of Peter Rogers will be crucial. Disappointed Drung South Blue will host in-form Haven. Haven has been in great form and has strong players but Drung south will be determined to end the first half of the season with a win. It will be an early Christmas present for Central Park in A Grade this week when it takes on struggling Natimuk. After last week’s results coming down to just games, Laharum will also be looking to continue good form and should have the upper hand over Haven. After handing Haven a flogging last week Quantong is on a roll. In the other match, Brimpaen will play Kalkee.

Stuck for Christmas ideas?

Hobbs heads to Indonesia Horsham’s Luke Hobbs will head to Indonesia today to photograph the first round of the inaugural Asian Drifting Grand Prix. Mr Hobbs is the official photographer for the Australian Drifting Grand Prix, the country’s premier national drifting series, and has been photographing competitions across Australia for the past five years. “I went to an event and started taking photos for the fun of it,” he said. “I met the owners and submitted some of my photos, and I’ve worked for them ever since.” Mr Hobbs said he was excited about his next adventure. “It will be my first time overseas,” he said. “I only got my passport a couple of weeks ago, but luckily it came in time.” Jakarta will host the first round of the Asian series from tomorrow until Saturday. Teams from Australia, New Zealand, Malay-

sia, Thailand, Indonesia and the United States will compete. Drifting is a driving technique that involves drivers intentionally over-steering, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels. Mr Hobbs said the series’ owners wanted to make the sport more ‘mainstream’. “A lot of people associate drifting with hooning,” he said. “But there are really strict rules. People who race on the streets are not allowed to compete.” Mr Hobbs said he was in for a busy three days. “I have a set list of photos I have to take, because I have a list of pics I need to supply to different magazines,” he said. “I’m the media manager as well so I have people working under me I need to keep an eye on. It’s great sport to be involved in – it’s busy, but it’s a lot of fun.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Big movers in Stawell tennis

Crowe Horwath was the big winner from round 10 of Stawell’s Friday night tennis, beating Stawell Toyota by 27 games and climbing from the bottom of the ladder to third position before a holiday break. Crowe Horwath began the match well by gaining a 13game lead after regular doubles matches. But the match was still up for grabs and Stawell Toyota reduced the margin to five games, after Brae Scantleton and David Simpkin smashed opponents Richard Hackwell and Lachlan Cox off the court with an 8-0 victory. It was then all Crowe Horwath’s way as it secured victory in all of the remaining mixed sets 8-3, 8-6, 8-3, 8-5 and 8-1. Riley Hackwell, Courtney Mcllvride, Emily Davis, Madi Cross, Madi Rickard, Joel Freeland and Chelsea Maddocks ensured the victory with all undefeated for Crowe Horwath while Brae Scantleton was Toyota’s standout player. A top-of-the-table clash was a thriller as David O Jones Mitre 10 sneaked over the line to defeat Farrers Tyrepower by three games. It was tight tennis all night – the difference only one game after the main doubles matches in Mitre 10’s favour. Mitre 10’s ladies combination of Tess Bailey and Romy Young were their side’s leading lights while Tyrepower’s best were Howard Dunn, Brian Oshannessy, Paul Summers and Riley Graveson. The competition returns at the end of January 2016. Ladder: Farrers Tyrepower 111 points, 114.39 percent; Mitre 10 106, 107.13; Crowe Horwath 91 94.11; Frewstal 84, 94.00; Stawell Toyota 83, 92.49.

Magpies camp in Ararat

ollingwood footballers will put Wimmera fans through their paces during a two-day AFL community camp in Ararat.

Collingwood players will run a range of activities at Alexandra Oval and other Ararat locations on February 9 and 10. AFL Community Camps encourage players to meet fans and develop stronger links between Australian Football League and the community.

The community camps program has a renewed focus on school visits. It also includes AFL super clinics and training sessions in the community and for the region’s coaches, recognising that grassroots football and the community are the lifeblood of ‘Australia’s Game’. Collingwood Football Club has always had a strong connection with Ararat, dating back to the old VFL recruiting zones, which

helped the Magpies recruit Hall of Fame player Barry Price and 150-game veteran Rene Kink. Ararat Rural City Mayor Paul Hooper said he was thrilled Collingwood chose Ararat as the destination for its 2016 community camp. “While I am a devoted Geelong supporter, having the biggest club in the AFL visit the region is very exciting and a massive coup for us,” he said. “The Magpies always attract

plenty of media attention and it will be a great opportunity for Ararat to showcase the fantastic facility we now have at Alexandra Oval. “We have plenty of exciting events planned over the two days of the camp and it would be great to see as many football fans as possible involved.” Specific details regarding the 2016 AFL Community Camp in Ararat will be announced in coming weeks.

ACROSS CRICKET Horsham

Rivalry rekindled BY DEAN LAWSON

attered Jung Tigers will be on the hunt for a consolidating victory when it resumes its A Grade rivalry with Laharum in Horsham Cricket Association this weekend.

The Tigers, struggling to find penetration with the ball, crashed and burnt against a Simon Hopper-led Homers on Saturday, and now finds itself vulnerable in fourth place. The Tigers are holding on grimly and desperately need to build on an eight-point buffer to stay ahead of RupanyupMinyip in the new year. Third-placed Laharum, fresh from a win against LubeckMurtoa, has enjoyed a tantalising wrestle with the Tigers all year and will be more than slightly confident of another win at Laharum. Celebrations in the Mountain Men camp last week surrounded a Damien Bunworth hat-trick and continuing form of all-rounder Josh Mohoney, whose 62 took his season aggregate to 267 at 38.1 with the bat. He has also captured 15200 at 13.3 with the ball. The Tigers, despite having a variety of bowlers, have taken only six wickets in the past two games, and will hope Brandon Campbell, who collected six wickets when the teams last met, can produce a similar result on the weekend. Horsham cricket was humming last weekend with the news of another Simon Hopper century. His unbeaten 137 in the twilight Horsham City Oval game snuffed out any chance of Jung producing an upset. Hopper, who bats left-hand and bowls right-arm off-spin, has now accumulated 488 runs from seven hits at an average of 97.6. He has more than a good chance of collecting a rare midseason 500-run milestone this weekend. The Pigeons, who also have fellow opener Adam Atwood in scintillating touch and Lachie Jones in the runs, meet Rupanyup-Minyip at Minyip.

Rupanyup-Minyip has enjoyed only one win this season but the door is open if Jung continues to keep stride with the pace-setters. The Blue Panthers weren’t good enough to beat Horsham Saints last week but Leigh Funcke has shown form of late with the bat. His 78-run opening stand with Dan Clark against a solid Saints attack encouraging. There’s nothing wrong with the Rupanyup-Minyip middle order either – it just just needs the likes of Clint Midgley, Daniel Schaper and Brent Hudson to make runs. Homers should be wary of the Blue Panthers in the final game before the break. Horsham Saints will keep tracking behind Homers on the ladder by chalking up a victory over winless Lubeck-Murtoa, which also has potential but can’t establish consistency. In-form Saint Gary Davidson, 299 runs at 49.8, will be sniffing for another century. Lubeck-Murtoa started strongly with the bat last week but needs more contributors to make more runs for bowlers to defend.

Grampians

In Grampians association, Aradale needs an upset against ladder leader Buangor in the final round before the Christmas break. Aradale is hovering in fifth place, 7.5 points off the pace, and comes off a bye to take on a side fresh from a solid win over St Andrews. Buangor’s form is all about the Ganleys at the moment with Harry making 90 and Jack making 35 and taking 5-12 last week. Buangor has won all but one of its 11 games this season while Aradale has won five and lost six. Critically, Buangor has taken 100 wickets this season, compared with Aradale’s 76. Swifts-Great Western is tracking alongside Buangor with 11 wins and two losses and meets Chalambar at Stawell’s Central

Wednesday, December 16, 2015

Park this weekend after stumbling against Tatyoon. Travis Nicholson, 273 runs at 39, was in the runs in the middle order and, with the likes of Sam Cocks, James Devery, Tom Eckel and Jackson Dark, helps form a potent line-up. Chalambar has been off the pace but last week, with David Quaife hitting a half century and Alex Rodgers collecting a five-wicket haul, had a comprehensive win over Pomonal. Pomonal, with Rick Oliver snaring 5-6, will attempt to bounce back against arch rival Halls Gap, which came off second best against Youth Club. Halls Gap, at one stage 6-28, fought back through Adam Leslie and Zac O’Neill, but was still well short of hitting a defendable score against the Clubbers. A clash between Tatyoon and St Andrews rounds off the weekend with Tatyoon flush with confidence after a morethan-handy win against the Combine.

Regional cricket

Wimmera-Mallee cricket will resume in January with Donald leading the competition from Brim-Kellalac-Sheep Hills, Jeffcott and Hopetoun. Last week Donald’s Jake Leith made an unbeaten 65 to take his season run tally to 272 at 45.33. Hopetoun’s Andrew Love captured 5-39 and Donald’s Harry Cashin 4-28. Nhill Tigers lead West Wimmera association after a win over Rainbow. James Philip clipped 115, a 158-run opening partnership with Mitch Dahlenburg a major highlight. Brett Jensz made 69 for Rainbow, which fell 40 runs short of the target. Kiata scored a thrilling three-run win over Winiam, with three run-outs sealing the game. Batting efforts from Tim Seymour, Todd Alexander, Josh Cramer and Liam Albrecht were critical in the win and Brodie Cramer, Ben Marra, Shannon Launer and Mick Purchase did well for Winiam.

Hornets’ finals chances on the line H

The Hornets are sitting fifth on Country Basketball League’s south-west conference ladder. They cannot afford to drop either of their two remaining matches for the home-andaway season as they aim for a top-four finish. The Horsham outfit is ruing a missed opportunity against higher-ranked Colac at the weekend, going down by three points in a thriller at Horsham Basketball Stadium. Little separated the sides throughout the hard-fought encounter. The Kookas took a slender five-point lead into the last quarter, but the Hornets fought back to head Colac by four points with three minutes remaining. Colac levelled the scores to 75 apiece, but a technical foul to Hornet Michael O’Callaghan proved costly, allowing Colac’s Steven Packer to take a onepoint lead. Packer also capitalised on

Horsham d Colac 84-78 Colac d Stawell 73-50 a foul by Horsham’s Matty Lloyd, dropping two consecutive one-pointers with less than 10 seconds to go. Hornets coach Cam Bruce said he was disappointed with the result. “It was a good game,” he said. “I think we were the better side on the night and deserved to win, but we just shot ourselves in the foot at the end and ran out of time to make it up.” Tim Pickert, 25, and Bruce, 23, top-scored for the Hornets. Bruce said youngster James Hallett was a standout. “He came off the bench and was really good defensively and took a few charges,” he said. “That provided a bit of a spark. It’s the one percenters

– that don’t show up on the scoresheet – that win games.” Bruce said he was confident heading into Saturday night’s clash against lower-ranked Terang, but would not take the Tornadoes lightly. “Terang knocked off Colac a couple of weeks ago,” he said. “They had a former NBL player suit up. He hasn’t played since, but we’ll just have to wait and see if he does on Saturday.” Dean Brebner, a former Cairns Taipan, finished the match against Colac with a game-high 31 points. Bruce said his charges made it through the weekend unscathed, but would still be without Brett Goodgame, calf, and Matt Lovel, ankle, until next year. O’Callaghan is unavailable at the weekend, but the Hornets will have a similar line-up to last week. The Hornets will take on Terang at 7pm. The Tornadoes will head to Stawell on Sunday for a matchup with Stawell Wildcats. Stawell has had a tough season, but will view the match as winnable. The Wildcats went down to

Colac by 49 points on Sunday, but will look to bounce back against the Tornadoes. The match tips off at 1pm.

Women

The Lady Hornets overcame a slow start to enjoy a six-point win over Colac at the weekend. The Kookas took a six-point lead half-way through the first quarter, but the Hornets responded to lead by four points at the first break. Colac narrowed the deficit to two points at half-time, but the Hornets did enough in the third quarter to take a seven-point buffer into the final term. The Kookas refused to give up, but Horsham was able to hold on to win. The Hornets again had a strong spread of scorers, led by Annie Brack and Sharon Fedke with 19 points apiece. Ella Bibby, 10, also managed double figures, while Colac was best served by Lauren Bellegante, 21. The win all but secures the Hornets top spot as they head into the Christmas and New Year break. The Horsham outfit has dropped only two games for the home-and-away season.
