Project ramps up S

BY DEAN LAWSON

‘

ooner rather than later’ is a catchcry an advocacy group has adopted in a renewed push for a regional public mental-health centre in Horsham.

The group believes Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System recommendations have ‘opened the door’ for the Wimmera to stake a strong claim in becoming a western Victorian mental-health-service base. In poring over a list of recommendations, which the State Government has confirmed it will adopt, the group has identified a need to act quickly in consolidating and growing community support to establish a case. Healthy Minds Horsham and regional Rotary clubs joined forces in 2019

to form a united front to tackle a ‘serious health-service gap’ in the region. The partnership has since strongly pushed the concept through the media and made a presentation and written submission to a commission community consultation in Hamilton. Healthy Minds Horsham spokesman Gavin Morrow said the commission had established a framework to overhaul inadequate mental-health services across the state, but there remained a ‘blatant’ need to get the formula right ‘on the ground’. “That means working through the devil in the detail and pursuing what needs to happen for our region to get something tangible,” he said. “The Rural Outreach program that works across some of the more isolated parts of the Wimmera has in many

cases been a wonderful intervention service. But the reality is we need something more comprehensive. “The area Horsham services is enormous and for some, referral to specialists in even further-away Ballarat or Melbourne, or a lengthy wait of several weeks or months for appointments to see visiting specialists, are inappropriate. “We need greater guarantees of 24hour face-to-face help and close-athand follow-up for people experiencing a mental crisis and we need them here in the Wimmera.” Mr Morrow said while it seemed obvious Horsham represented a central point for a vast region, there was a danger it would be overlooked based on a bureaucratic geographical analysis.

“Ballarat is too far away and so too is Bendigo or Mildura. It is as simple as that,” he said. Mr Morrow said it was important to develop a service and centre based on an understanding that mental illness was indiscriminate. “It doesn’t matter the age, gender or cultural or racial background of anyone,” he said. “What we ultimately offer must be able to cut through any issues involving public or private patients. “Help must be immediately available for everyone. “We envisage a comprehensive centre that can readily respond to the needs of the region and feature facilities that could cope with people needing extended stays.” Mr Morrow stressed that a primary

message coming from commission recommendations was that communities needed to play a major role in the process. “This means we can’t wait for it to come from the top, it has to come from the bottom up. Wimmera Cancer Centre in Horsham provides a clear example of this type of communityled project,” he said. “And we can’t afford to somehow mix this in with a proposed merger debate between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services. “This has nothing to do with the merger issue – it is all about establishing something in the Wimmera.” Continued page 3

Vaccine roll-out to start Monday BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera frontline workers and elderly residents will have access to the COVID-19 vaccine from Monday as Lister House Medical Clinic launches phase 1b of a staged roll-out.

Lister House staff will run a new Wimmera Vaccination Clinic from Up Tempo Café and Function Centre at 4a Dimboola Road. Lister House chief executive Amanda Wilson said the café would continue its usual operations, with the vaccination clinic operating out of a segregated area. “We wanted to still be able to see our regular patients at Lister House and the respiratory clinic next door, so we were on the hunt for a separate space we could use for the vaccinations,” she said. “We were looking for a function

centre to ensure we could meet social-distancing requirements and Up Tempo fit the bill. There’s plenty of space for us to run the vaccine clinic and still have the café and other facilities running as usual. “The vaccines will be done in a private area, but we also need a big waiting room, because we will be vaccinating between eight and 16 people an hour and they will need to wait around for 15 to 30 minutes after their vaccine.” Mrs Wilson said Lister House leaders had made a conscious choice to keep the vaccination clinic separate from the service’s usual operations, which include a GP clinic and GP-led Horsham Respiratory Clinic. “A lot of other vaccination hubs will do their testing and vaccinations from the same site, but we wanted to create a separate space,” she said. “That’s another reason we do all our

COVID testing from our respiratory clinic, to keep all our patients with respiratory symptoms separate from patients in our main clinic.” Horsham Respiratory Clinic is government-funded and aims to assess, test and treat people with mild to moderate respiratory conditions, including COVID-19, influenza and pneumonia. Mrs Wilson said the respiratory clinic was staffed by both GPs and nurses and opened in line with demand and staff scheduling. “We always knew we were going to go from COVID swabbing and assessing patients with symptoms to vaccines, so now we are getting ready for that next stage in the process,” she said. “The vaccinations are due to arrive on Friday and we will start administering them out of Up Tempo on Monday.

Renewed push for public mental-health centre

Eligibility criteria

Mrs Wilson said people would need to provide proof of their conditions, such as a referral from their doctor, to demonstrate their eligibility. Detailed information about roll-out phases is available online at www. coronavirus.vic.gov.au/who-can-getvaccinated#current-phase-of-rollout. People can also use the Austra-

lian government’s online ‘eligibility checker’ at health.gov.au. “The vaccine is not just for Lister House patients, it’s for people throughout the whole region,” Mrs Wilson said. “We want to make it clear that we are here for everybody. “The vaccines are free and will be delivered in a private, safe environment. “Everyone has been trained in CPR and completed the government’s mandatory vaccine program. “There will also be emergency facilities – we’ve got everything set up as a mobile clinic.” Bookings for phase one COVID-19 vaccinations are essential. People can visit www.hotdoc. com.au/medical-centres/horshamvic-3400/horsham-respiratory-clinic/ doctors or call Lister House on 5382 0011 to book or for more information.

‘Exciting day’ for service

CENTRE STAGE: Horsham Arts Council members celebrated a return to the stage at the weekend following a long break courtesy of the COVID-19 pandemic. New and returning performers presented ‘When You Wish Upon a Star – an evening of Disney Classics at Horsham Church of Christ. Brittany Bates is pictured performing A Whole New World from Aladdin. The four performances by Brittany and her co-stars were well received by a Wimmera audience keen to once again experience live performances. Some of the younger members of the audience took the opportunity to dress as Disney princesses for the occasion. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

From page 1 Member for Lowan and shadow mental-health representative Emma Kealy strongly backed the advocacy group, adding the State Government had an opportunity to immediately show its commitment by placing the Wimmera project in its approaching state budget. “With the budget coming up in May the timing is perfect,” she said.

“It is a staged roll-out though, so people will need to check their eligibility to avoid being disappointed.” Phase 1b is for frontline workers, including health-care workers and critical and high-risk workers such as defence, fire, police, emergency services and meat workers. It is also for people aged 70 or older, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people older than 55 and adults with specified medical conditions such as diabetes and respiratory disorders.

“Everything fits. The community strongly supports the project, it is in line with commission recommendations and statistics show we need it. It is time for action.” Mr Morrow said his group would explore the next best way forward, including an exploration of project partners and organising a public meeting. “We’ve been told to wait for the results of the royal commission and

we’ve done that and Wimmera people need to stay tuned,” he said. The final report into the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System and recommendations are available online at rcvmhs.vic.gov.au.

Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians health services are gearing up to roll out a staged COVID-19 vaccination program across the region. East Grampians Health Service will start phase 1a on Friday, with specialist trained nurses to start vaccinating residents in aged-care centres including 70 Lowe Street and Garden View Court in Ararat and Willaura Healthcare. Health service chief executive Andrew Freeman said nurse immunisers from an EGHS sub-hub – which also includes Stawell Regional Health, East Wimmera Health Service and Maryborough District Health Service – had undertaken extensive training ahead of the roll-out. He said Friday was an exciting day for his health service. “Our residents are part of phase 1a of the vaccination program, where the most vulnerable members of our community receive the vaccine first,” he said. “Our frontline health-care workers are also part of phase 1a and will soon start receiving their vaccinations, followed by the remainder of our healthcare staff as part of phase 1b.” Wimmera Health Care Group is awaiting the arrival of the vaccine before starting its phase-one roll-out, most likely next week, while West Wimmera Health Service is working with Grampians region health providers and Ballarat Health Services’ vaccine-hub team to prepare mobile immunisation clinics. West Wimmera infection control

lead Christine Dufty said the vaccination program would soon start for the health service’s first group of priority recipients. “This is a significant step in the fight against COVID-19. Delivering the vaccine to our aged-care residents and frontline staff is crucial to helping protect our people,” she said. “The first phase of the vaccination program will take place in clinics at each of our residential aged-care facilities when the vaccine arrives. We hope that this will be in the coming weeks and we will keep people informed once dates are confirmed.” She said after medical staff issued the first doses of vaccines, they would provide follow-up immunisations three weeks later. The health service has stressed that the vaccine is safe and free of charge. Residential aged-care and disability-care residents, and residential agedcare and disability workers, will be the first group to receive the vaccines. People who regularly volunteer in residential aged-care facilities are also eligible for COVID-19 vaccination in the first phase of delivery. The next group includes anyone in Australia aged over 70, other healthcare workers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults, people with an underlying medical condition or disability and defence personnel, emergency services workers and meat-processing workers. The service expects vaccinations will then be available for the broader community during the second half of 2021.

Ararat Rural City

As we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 Pandemic, it’s good to remember we’re #StrongerTogether.

Electric Car Charging Stations installed

Greenlight System Goes Live Ararat Rural City Council is transitioning to Greenlight, a new web-based system that will streamline permit and planning applications. The software has been implemented to create better communication between builders, residents, council, state bodies and community members affected by developments. The new systen will be utilised for the full permit and planning process, from the first enquiry through to final inspections, all will be administered with Greenlight.

New electric vehicle charging stations were installed along the Western Highway last week. Being situated along a major highway, the new charging station in Ararat provides another reason for people to stop and spend time here. The station in Elizabeth Park is close to the Alexandra Gardens and a short walk to the main shopping district, giving people a chance to recharge their car and themselves. Two other stations will be installed in Pomonal and Lake Bolac over the coming weeks, making the entire municipality more accessible for electric vehicles. These new charging stations are a response to a fast-changing market, which Council is seizing as a new way to attract people to our region. Total cost of the three stations is $80,000, funded through Ararat Rural City Council’s 2020/2021 budget. Charging stations have been supplied through Australian Producer, Auriga. and installed by Ararat Rural City Council Staff.

Basketball star to face court

igh-profile Horsham basketball export Mitch Creek, of Ashburton, is facing serious criminal assault charges.

He will appear in Sunshine Magistrates’ Court on April 11 on charges including intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury and unlawful assault. Police have charged Creek, 28, on summons after an investigation into an incident in Maribyrnong in Melbourne’s west on November 22. Moonee Valley Criminal Investigation Unit Detective First Constable Carli Loveridge is preparing a brief for the case.

Creek has been an elite basketball talent and prominent sporting ambassador for Horsham, the Wimmera, Victoria and Australia. He is joint captain of National Basketball League club South East Melbourne Phoenix, has played at the game’s highest level in America and is in Australia’s Boomers squad preparing for the Tokyo Olympics. He is also one of the most successful basketballers to emerge from Horsham’s development program. South East Melbourne Phoenix has publicly responded to the charges by posting a statement on its website where it reported that Creek had denied the charges.

Here is the statement – The NBL and South East Melbourne Phoenix are aware that Victoria Police have laid charges against Mitch Creek in respect of alleged assault offences. The NBL and South East Melbourne Phoenix are deeply concerned by the nature of the charges against Mitch Creek and take this matter extremely seriously. The NBL and South East Melbourne Phoenix have held urgent discussions with the Australian Basketball Players’ Association and Basketball Australia’s Integrity Unit in respect of the allegations. The NBL and South East Melbourne Phoenix also understand that Mitch

Creek denies each of the charges and will deal with the matter appropriately through the court process. As the body responsible for enforcing the national integrity framework which covers NBL players, Basketball Australia’s Integrity Unit has undertaken a preliminary investigation into the matter. The NBL, South East Melbourne Phoenix and Mitch Creek have all agreed that he will not train or play with the club until further notice. As the matter is before the courts, the NBL and South East Melbourne Phoenix will not make any further comment for now.

The prospects of traditional winter sport going ahead as scheduled across the region this year have had a boost with State Government changes to rules governing crowd restrictions for community football. Under changes to the state’s COVID-19 Public Events Framework, community football clubs and leagues will no longer be required to go through a rigid public-health-approval process for events with less than 5000 spectators. Community football matches expecting less than 5000 people will be designated ‘Low Risk Tier 2 Events’. This means organisers, while still having to ensure they adhere to the government’s COVID-safe requirements, will not need extensive formal approval. AFL Victoria head Brad Scott said the move was a positive development for community football across the state, especially clubs and leagues expecting large crowds. “We are continuing to work closely with the Victorian government daily and advocate for community football. The situation has been evolving quickly since we were in a lockdown only a few weeks ago,” he said. Wimmera Football Netball League’s 2021 season will start with a Good Friday match between Ararat and Stawell in Ararat on April 2. Horsham District and North Central leagues will start on April 10 and Mininera and District Football League, April 17.

‘Poor form’

Teams find ways to ‘Relay Your Way’ Teams taking part in a virtual event designed to replace the annual Horsham and District Relay for Life are planning ahead with individual activities to help raise money for cancer research.

format, which normally involves teams and individuals setting up camp and relaying around an oval for 18 hours, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Horsham Relay for Life committee met last night to brainstorm fundraising ideas for participating teams. Committee member Tami Lane said fundraising could be as simple as a team barbecue in a back yard. “We all relay for the same reason and throughout COVID cancer

doesn’t stop and treatment doesn’t stop, so therefore we need to keep those fundraising dollars coming in,” she said. “We just need to think outside the square. There could be people selling plants, or having a barbecue, hosting small trivia nights, there’s a whole range of things that could work.” Mrs Lane said the last time the event went ahead at its full capacity in 2019, more than 45 teams helped to raise more than $135, 000.

“There were so many teams that put in so much work,” she said. “And all the money raised is used locally.” Mrs Lane said the Horsham committee was planning a ‘carers and survivors’ function on April 18. “We’ll be inviting carers and survivors to come and listen to guest speakers and we’ll have a virtual opening ceremony over candlelight that will be recorded and streamed on our Facebook page,” she said.

Minyip community and police are appealing for information after vandals tagged the Minyip Fuel Station just two days before it opened. The vandals also tagged concrete silos, a grain shed and Minyip Railway Station. Resident Dale Maggs estimated repairing the vandalism would cost in excess of $10,000. “These were likely targeted attacks and would have taken several hours,” he said. “Police have been out and taken photos and evidence at the sites and as far as we’re led to believe there are some links to well-known tags the police are looking into. “If anyone has any information, we would love you to contact the police to help with the investigation.” People can call Minyip Police Station on 5385 7310 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. • Minyip development, page 13.

impinio Football Netball Club life members Brett and Maree Thompson believe being involved in community sport can be hard work, but is well worth the rewards.

Brett has coached junior football for the past eight years and helped at senior level for the past 15 years. “I’ve seen a lot of juniors develop and go on to play senior footy, which gives you a fair bit of satisfaction,” he said. “It’s pretty important for the club’s long-term future, too.” Brett said the pending return of football and netball in 2021 offered plenty of benefits, particularly for juniors. “It will be good for them to get

out and have social interaction with other kids and adults and get involved in the footy-netball club,” he said. “It’s a good sense of community and will help their mental health greatly.” The sense of community is a recurring theme for people keen to return to sport. “Every Tuesday night and Thursday night, especially Thursday night, it’s a big community gathering, not just for people who are playing or have kids playing,” Brett said. “A lot of people just meet at the club. It’s a good catch-up for them during the week.” Maree, a netball coach, believes you get out what you put in.

“It’s hard work but it’s a great reward, especially at the end of the season,” she said. “Especially the little juniors. They come at the start and don’t know what they’re doing – they can’t catch a ball. By the end of the season they’re playing competition. To see their development is a really good reward.” Maree said being a coach afforded her a high level of responsibility. “I’m a role model, so I want to be at my best to show those kids what they can do for themselves,” she said. “A lot of kids have plenty of potential, but don’t give themselves enough credit. Our job as a coach is to bring that out in them.”

Young-adult needs under spotlight D

emographics! We constantly hear the term in reference to the Wimmera-Mallee.

Invariably it is used as an explanation or part of a cache of reasons for varying circumstances involving community activities, responses and sensibilities. The reality is, in many discussions involving regional progress, development, growth and socio-economic stimulation, it can simply be a more polite way of saying our communities are full of a lot of elderly people. And it is rare for anyone, rightly or wrongly, to consider this anything but a disadvantage in trying to get regional communities moving forward. This is a tragedy in itself, considering the older members of our community are walking libraries of life experiences. But it is true that we need a healthy mix of age groups to get the formula right. If our populations are too old, as we are hearing, then perhaps this is a fundamental area that deserves more focus when building our region. ‘We need to attract young families’ is a

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson well-worn regional catchcry surrounding socio-economic growth. But on further examination, perhaps it is more to do with simply making our regions, communities and features more attractive to young adults. It is after all, we suspect, harder to uproot a family than individuals. In trying to glean insight from discussions with a group of young Wimmera adults in their early 20s and collectively contemplating a shift to Geelong, revelations were more than interesting. Unlike the past and what many of us ‘older’ members of the community consider appropriate or normal, pursuing employment opportunities were far from their primary motivation in wanting to leave. A simple and general response was, ‘we just want more to do, to be with friends

and there’s nothing really here for us – it can be really boring’. When pressed further, there was also a clear impression they believed a young person ‘couldn’t improve themselves or get on in life’ if they stayed in the region. This was perplexing and a tough argument, even when pointing out our close proximity to all sorts of natural attractions and opportunities to engage through sport and other activities. But they were adamant and it is this perception by many of our home-grown I suspect is responsible for making the job of establishing a new era of prosperity tough. Many would see this as a reflection of a spoilt generation. But this argument has a long-familiar ring. It is nothing new. Industry, jobs and housing are all fundamental for communities to push forward. But we can’t underestimate the value of lifestyle opportunities attractive to young adults, especially tertiary education, entertainment and engagement. Let’s hope the word ‘demographics’ can mean something different in the future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vale Alan Finch

SIR, – Through your Wimmera-wide newspaper I acknowledge the passing of Alan Finch, author and historian. It was back in 1982 that Alan and Brian Brooke, dec, published their wonderful book ‘A Story of Horsham… a municipal century’. During my time as a councillor I found the book an invaluable resource with many great stories, amazing photographs and interesting facts about a growing municipality. A visit to various clubs and community groups would usually include a quote or two from the ‘Horsham history book’ to grab people’s attention. For newer residents of Horsham and our young people, this book is worth checking out at the local library. Alan, who with his wife Valrie wrote a variety of books, were our neighbours in Quantong and were always an interesting couple to chat with. Vale Alan Finch. Mark Radford, Quantong

‘Crumbs from the table’

SIR, – I attended one of the community consultation meetings regarding the proposed amalgamation of Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services. I was thoroughly disgusted with the proposal and the language used at the meeting – giving the impression it was a fait accompli and-or tokenism at best. We were served up platitudes as to the improved services we ‘might’ attain. But in reality, they remained a ‘pie in the sky’ on a wish list and wholly dependent on the funding, goodwill and contracts between

specialists tied to Ballarat, not Horsham. I believe this proposal is a smokescreen to cover ballooning debt and this proposed amalgamation could alleviate or shift the problem elsewhere. Possibly, a solution is to have the funding model adjusted to account for the needs of rural hospitals. I can only concur with previous statements that, once you give up your autonomy and budget, you are at the mercy of an extremely large organisation and will receive only crumbs from the table. You give up autonomy to an institution, which is the best part of 200 kilometres from where services are required, and it becomes too hard. Hospital and medical services should remain within the umbrella of the Wimmera. Once you lose or transfer ownership to another entity you lose your identity and accept what’s left rather than first-class attention. Franz Tursi, Horsham

Favour local

SIR, – Why don’t we get back to ‘supporting the local community?’. Before 2019 it was ‘shop locally’, but in 2020 traders started ‘reaching out’. It’s easy. Don’t spend outside of your nearest 100kmh signs. A few options include attending weekend markets, dining out or ordering in, flicking Netflix and going to a cinema.

There’s only one way

SIR, – Residents of Horsham Eastbank, you built in an area that is one way in and out only. With extra development in a few years’ time when you are sitting in the queue in Stockton Drive waiting for a chance to enter Williams Road, assuming Cameron Road traffic will let you in, contemplate what advantage the Hamilton Street footbridge was when you could have had a vehicle bridge at the end of McBryde Street. McBryde Street, with the wide-open McPherson Street intersection, is your only chance of solving your vehicle-access problems. It is the only street that can be widened to cope with the 1000-plus vehicles per day. Remember there are still 500 houses to be built on Eastbank and another 200 south of Williams Road. I am sure you can imagine the gigantic Stawell Road-Williams Road traffic bottleneck if you do not ask Horsham Rural City Council for a McBryde Street bridge. Ratepayers will only give you one bridge – make it a joint pedestrian-vehicle crossing. Eastbank residents, tell your councillors this before they commit to forever restricting you to a footbridge only. Neville McIntyre, McKenzie Creek

Resilience project gains momentum BY DYLAN DE JONG

project designed to boost resilience and mental wellbeing in people across Ararat municipality will enter a new phase, focusing on school-aged students as it starts its second year of operation.

Resilience Ararat will provide mental health and wellbeing programs in 10 participating schools in the region after three community groups made a financial commitment to support the continuation of the project. Mellow in the Yellow will buy curriculum resources for all of Resilient Ararat’s rural schools, while Ararat Community Enterprise and Grampians Pyrenees Primary Care Partnership, PCP, have committed $10,000 each to the project. Central Grampians LLEN acting executive officer Jane Moriarty said financial support would ensure the program, which launched early 2020, could continue in 2021 and beyond. “We can’t express how grateful we are to have three major sponsors sign on for the second phase of the Resilient Ararat project,” she said. Ms Moriarty said the COVID-19 pandemic and a Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System, released last week, highlighted a community need for the project to continue in the region. “When the initiative was implemented early last year, we could never have imagined just how timely it would be,” she said. “At a time when many people were feeling isolated, anxious and uncertain, we were able to provide them with resources that helped them to focus on their wellbeing. “Ultimately, we feel like the first year of Resilient Ararat was even more successful as a result of COVID.

“It really allowed us to tailor our activities to suit the ever-changing mental health needs of our community.” Ms Moriarty said the feedback Resilient Ararat had received during its first year had been ‘overwhelmingly’ positive. “We had a fantastic response to our wellbeing webinar series, which was co-hosted by local presenters, and we were inundated with lovely messages during the #beanresilient coffee cup campaign, which helped people understand the benefits of practising gratitude, empathy and mindfulness,” she said. “Our younger residents enjoyed our art activities, which encouraged them to get creative during lockdown.”

MOVERS AND SHAKERS: Murtoa College is helping foster the next generation of Wimmera leaders through its captains and vicecaptains. The student leadership groups set examples for their schoolmates.

Spreading joy

Ms Moriarty said a Kindness in the Mail project helped connect young people with isolated aged-care residents and a Rainbow Wall Challenge allowed people to spread joy and positivity by submitting rainbow artwork to decorate a blank window at the LLEN office. Grampians Pyrenees PCP executive officer Suzannah Burton said supporting Ararat schools fitted in well with the organisation’s goal to support the health and wellbeing of people across the region. “We’ve seen Ararat embrace the activities and initiatives of Resilient Ararat over the past year and know that the impact for community, particularly during COVID, has been significant,” she said. “Grampians Pyrenees PCP looks forward to working with Resilient Ararat to continue to support and build community spirit throughout 2021.”

Agricultural shows back on calendar

xcited and relieved Natimuk Show organisers are expecting an enthusiastic community response after confirmation the March 27 event will go ahead as planned.

The 129th Natimuk Show will be the first traditional Wimmera agricultural show to go ahead since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic early last year. Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth said final confirmation came through from the Victorian Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions on Friday. She said the show qualified as a ‘low risk tier two’ event under the public event framework, which meant it could now occur without extensive

public health approval. “It’s been a long six-week wait to receive this welcome news,” she said. “The society developed and submitted a very detailed COVID event plan for approval and now we’re happy to say the show is on.” Outdoor events and indoor seated events can be designated low risk tier two events if the event has fewer than 5000 participants and-or spectators and attendance at the event does not exceed 75 percent capacity of the venue. Indoor unseated events must not feature behaviour that presents COVID-19 risks such as singing, dancing, chanting or consumption of alcohol or drugs. Natimuk Show officials needed only

fill out and provide a Department of Public Health Attestation form, guaranteeing the event would happen in a COVID-safe manner. Natimuk Show is from 9am to 5pm at Natimuk Showground with an evening meal from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. Mrs Bysouth said the show would feature a variety of attractions and activities likely to appeal to a broad family audience. “The show will feature the ever-popular shearing and wool-handling competition and we encourage pre-entry to ensure patrons get their spots,” she said. “And our arena program this year, for the first time, will feature an interschool horse program. “There will be a variety of free chil-

Society president Zack Currie said plans had been underway since last year. “It all came together within a month and the concept of organising a Wimmera-wide competition for stud merino sheep, yard dogs and fleece was a natural fit,” he said. The COVID-safe show will be open to the public and the society is encouraging people to attend. Admission is $5. Show schedules are online at horshamshow. com.au but entries will be accepted up until show day. The event will also coincide with a with a Pop Up Mini 150km Feast, a trial of a ‘lazy Sunday afternoon’ concept in Maydale Reserve’s Stockmen’s Beer Garden. It follows on from the success of a 150k Feast event earlier in the month.

Wimmera events emerging Agricultural events and shows are among public attractions quickly refilling calendars across the region. Horsham Agricultural Society’s inaugural Wimmera Merino Sheep Show will be at Maydale Reserve at Horsham Showground on Sunday. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the merino sheep show was part of a Balmoral Show schedule. Unwilling to see the competition cease, Wimmera breeders, led by Nhill merino stud owner Robert Harding, met the Horsham society’s leadership team to discuss the event relocating to Horsham. With interest from stud owners from Glenisla to Ouyen, a sub-committee formed to present the autumn show with a vision of it becoming an annual event. Victorian Yard Utility Farm Dog Association

Driving positive change BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wotjobaluk leader is confident a commission investigating injustices against Aboriginal Victorians announced late last week will be instrumental in driving positive change for indigenous communities.

Barengi Gadjin Land Council chair Dylan Clarke, who works in Aboriginal justice and is also a representative for north-west region in the First People’s Assembly of Victoria, will play a part in seeking Aboriginal commissioners for a Yoo-rrook Justice Commission. The commission, led by the State Government and the assembly, will investigate both historical and ongoing injustices committed against Aboriginal Victorians since colonisation across all areas of social, political and economic life. Mr Clarke said the commission would be a significant step for-

ward in the State Government’s path to form state-based treaties with its Aboriginal communities and start a healing process. “There’s a lot of eyes on Victoria and the First People’s Assembly of Victoria in terms of what actions and movements we’re making around the treaty space and Victoria’s really leading the charge in that conversation,” he said. “Victoria has been hit pretty hard by colonisation and a lot of the knowledge and history has been wiped away, with some families still finding themselves and unsure where they fit in within their communities.” Mr Clarke said the commission would look into indigenous stories from colonisation through to the stolen generations and up to present day, highlighting the treatment of First Nations people. “This commission will be looking into institutional racism and long-standing issues community members and leaders in the

community have really advocated against for a long time,” he said. “This is the next step to really talk about the truth and things that have happened in the past since settlement right up to issues that have happened recently such as with Collingwood Football Club.”

commission would help to achieve measurable changes for Aboriginal communities, where past initiatives had fallen short. “The commission will be taking in recommendations that haven’t been fulfilled for more than 20 to 30 years,” he said. “We really need to action these reports, because there is so much work that needs to be done.” The government and the First People’s Assembly of Victoria worked with Australian and international experts and learnt from the ‘truth-telling processes’ that took place in more than 30 countries, including South Africa, Canada and New Zealand. The commission will operate independently from the Federal Government and have the ‘full power’ of a Royal Commission. The State Government expects hearings to start in July, with an interim report completed in the middle of next year and hearings to conclude in 2024.

Five commissioners

Mr Clarke said the assembly would help appoint five commissioners who would be tasked with examining both historic and contemporary injustices. “We will be engaging community members about what they want to see come out of this justice commission and what they want it to look like,” he said. “When we get to that local level of education and awareness it creates a broader understanding in the public and from there, we can start to really dive deep and have democratic discussions around where things should sit and fill in the gaps.” Mr Clarke said he hoped the

More clean-up days Horsham Tidy Towns Committee is contemplating more community clean-up events after volunteers collected eight cubic metres of waste on Clean Up Australia Day. The group is also looking for increased community support after 26 people took part in the latest effort. The February 28 clean-up involved helpers visiting eight sites and highway entrances to Horsham. Committee chairman David Eltringham said volunteer helpers included Horsham Rotary Club, Haven Market Committee, Country Fire Authority, Wimmera River Improvement Committee representatives as well as individuals and Tidy Towns members. “The committee was very grateful for the contribution of buckets, gloves and hats by Bunnings and also with Rural Roads Victoria, which provided signs, high-visibility jackets and collection bags,” he said. Mr Eltringham also acknowledged the help of Keep Victoria Beautiful as part of the ‘Adopt a Highway’ program, which originated in Horsham, and Horsham Rural City Council, which helped with the final disposal of the waste and recyclables. “Some interesting items collected included a tent, a good doona cover, shopping trolley, a live snake, mobile phone and $7 in cash,” he said. “Disappointing, however, were the significant number of face masks, disposable nappies and takeaway food packaging and litter accumulations at Western Highway rest areas where bins have been removed at parking areas on our various highway entrances to Horsham.”

Students awarded scholarship Two Wimmera students are among 20 in the state to win a scholarship that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to achieve their educational goals. Tehya Clarke, Gunai-Monero, and Harper Harradine, Wotjobaluk, both in year 11 at Dimboola Memorial Secondary College, were awarded Marrung Education Scholarships at a ceremony in Melbourne earlier this month. The scholarship program provides up to $5000 to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to complete years 11 and 12. Tehya hopes to use her scholarship to study psychology at university, while Harper plans to study teaching. College principal Sally Klinge said it was a

fantastic outcome for the students, who were studying their Victorian Certificate of Education. “They were the only recipients in the Wimmera and among 20 across the state of Victoria to receive the scholarship,” she said. “This will assist the students to pursue their dreams in education.” She said the students had continually showed persistence in their studies. “We at the school are extremely proud of both Tehya and Harper. They are very worthy recipients of this award,” she said. “They’ve always worked really hard at school and strived to do their best since they started here in year seven.” – Dylan De Jong

New projects on cards in Minyip A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

community leader who was part of a project to help a small Wimmera town regain a fuel station is confident the project’s success will lead to more development.

Politicians, community members and Yarriambiack Shire Council representatives met in Minyip last week to celebrate the completion of the Minyip Progress Association project that was three years in the making. Project manager Ray White said the association was keen to use knowledge it gained from the fuel-station project to forge ahead with other developments in the town. He said plans were to now upgrade Minyip’s caravan park. “There’s a lot of different bits and pieces that come to play in getting these projects off the ground and the committee has learned a lot from this,” he said. “I think having expertise available within the community to put a project together makes a difference, especially with knowing what you’ve got to do and dealing with all the regulatory requirements. “We are now looking to expand the caravan park and improve the wetlands to make Minyip more attractive for tourists. We have a big chunk of land down there that’s underused. “A lot of other towns have lakes and water in them. Minyip doesn’t have that, so we must look at other opportunities.” Mr White said the 24-hour unstaffed fuel

station would help meet a critical service need in Minyip, particularly for farmers and producers. “We’ve got hi-flow diesel pumps which will suit all the grain carriers and b-double access in the region. Before the fuel station opened they were having to travel to Donald to get fuel,” he said. “It was a pain because if you went somewhere you had to make sure you filled up before you got back home.” The project received a $101,000 grant from a Federal Government drought relief fund and $40,000 from Bendigo Bank. The progress association and Minyip community helped raise the rest of the money to complete the $195,000 project. Mr White said the project took many years of negotiating with stakeholders, planning and fundraising to come to fruition. “We had to find a suitable site, which wasn’t easy, and finished up negotiating with GrainCorp for a parcel of land, but getting the subdivision was what took us the longest amount of time,” he said. “We didn’t get the subdivision and title change over the line until September of last year. The moment the title was issued we were able to accept a contract for work to start. “If the progress association didn’t take this project on there would still be no petrol station – no commercial company was going to take this on. “When you’ve got such a small community, the community has to take control, that’s the only way it’s going to happen.”

Biometer arrives at Nhill Hospital A new optical biometer has arrived at Nhill Hospital, giving west Wimmera people access to state-of-the-art equipment close to home. Visiting ophthalmologist Dr Mark Chehade will use the optical biometer to accurately measure and detect eye problems. It will give rural people the ability to receive the same advanced eye surgery as in city hospitals. West Wimmera Health Service bought the

biometer through the generosity of the district community through a 2020 ‘See how we can help you see’ fundraising campaign. Chief executive Ritchie Dodds thanked the community for raising $81,156.50 to buy the piece of equipment. Mr Dodds said ophthalmic surgery resumed last month and Dr Chehade and the operating theatre team would start using the new equipment on eye-surgery patients in April.

Welcome return to calisthenics Horsham Calisthenics College students have returned to class after a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Classes resumed at Horsham’s Masonic Lodge last month. Principal coach Kylie Hermans said it was great to be back and working towards competitions. She said ‘at this stage’ it was likely students would be able to attend competitions in 2021. Calisthenics classes ceased last year as Victoria went into lockdown. “In term two we moved to online Zoom classes in order to offer our students an opportunity to still be involved,” Mrs Hermans said. Calisthenics Victoria also had to shut down all competitions scheduled for 2020. “At the end of term two, lockdown briefly lifted and we were able to return to the hall for about two or three weeks,” Mrs Hermans said. “However, we were soon shut down again and continued to offer Zoom classes for the rest of

the year. It’s wonderful to now be back to face-to-face classes again.” Calisthenics is a competitive, performance-based sport that combines gymnastics, dancing, ballet, apparatus work and musical theatre. Mrs Hermans said Calisthenics Victoria was now looking at ways to host competitions this year. “It is looking like we will still be able to attend about four or five team competitions, which will be fantastic for our performers,” she said. “Competitions will be shorter this year, with fewer teams at each event in order to try to minimise the amount of people in one space. “It will be an interesting year but we are just glad to be working towards competing again.” Mrs Hermans said despite the lack of face-to-face classes last year, the college had retained a good number of students, but was still running with lower numbers than in previous years. “Especially in our younger age

groups. We have a lot fewer students than we normally would,” she said. Mrs Hermans said offering Zoom classes last year provided a great opportunity to connect with other Victorian clubs. “We often ran classes jointly with other clubs and had guest coaches come in and teach our students,” she said. “It was a wonderful experience and our students really benefited from it. “To have high-level performers from Melbourne being able to teach our students new skills is something that we wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to do. “Every club was shut down, so the calisthenics community really banded together to support students of all ages.” Mrs Hermans said Horsham Calisthenics College was still taking enrolments for 2021. She said free trial classes were also on offer. People seeking more information can call Mrs Hermans on 0408 811 346. FUNCTION & EVENT

Green interventions

Gardens and gardening and interactions with plants and green spaces provide therapeutic and physical benefits improving our physical, emotional and mental health and wellbeing. Health studies in the UK are encouraging GP’s to prescribe gardening and gardens as support to traditional clinical referrals to help alleviate health symptoms. Quantitative studies have shown significant reductions in symptoms of depression and anxiety following gardening based interventions *. Research also shows that 20 minutes spent in green settings such as parks and gardens reduce the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), compared to time spent in concrete recreation areas and even views of greenery through the window can have a positive impact on mental health. *www.sustainweb.org/resources/files/presentations/GHDec16_4_JimSikorski.pdf

Historic aircraft set to roar to life

n 11-year project to restore a Second World War Avro Anson will reach a major milestone next month when Nhill aviation enthusiasts bring the aircraft’s engines to life.

Restoration on the Avro Anson’s twin engines is complete and Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre will use a Start-Up Day at Nhill Aerodrome to turn the key. Centre president Rob Lynch said the day would be memorable. “Be prepared for a lot of noise, smoke and action as engines of all shapes and sizes fire up,” he said. “When some of us saw the Avro Anson pieces behind Graham Drage’s shed at Lah back in 2009 we thought they looked like useless junk. Mike Kingwill, Whimpey Reichelt and Len Creek have done an amazing job to get the plane to this stage.” Centre officials will also start up

historic Wirraway and Tiger Moth aircraft on display at the heritage centre as well as a range of unique engines supplied by Nhill Vintage Machinery Club. Mr Lynch said engines that needed blowtorches, crank handles and cartridges to start were sure to impress onlookers. He said the line-up included a ‘Southern Cross’ mobile generator similar to the one used for floodlighting at the aerodrome during the Second World War, a Lanz Bulldog tractor and vintage control-line model aircraft. “Back in the Ahrens Hangar visitors will have free admission to see the large collection of memorabilia from the time of the Royal Australian Air Force base or try their hand at flying in the Link Trainer, a prototype of flight simulators,” he said. “Nhill’s first locally owned aircraft, a de Soutter, is on display,

along with the propeller from the second Australian-built aeroplane. The story of this aircraft, built in a straw shed by a young farmer from Pella near Rainbow during the 1920s is one of brilliant craftsmanship and resilience.” Mr Lynch said engines would start at different intervals during the day so visitors could take in the whole range. He said the first engine would start at 10am with the program concluding at 4pm. Entry cost will be $15 and free of charge for children and students. Barbecue food and drinks will be available. The club has asked anyone who has a unique engine that could be included in the program or anyone needing more information to call John Deckert on 0437 351 753 or Rob Lynch, 0428 911 387.

Footage confirms bandicoots in Grampians Southern brown bandicoot sightings in Grampians National Park have confirmed the native animal continues to call the wilderness area home. They have also provided park rangers with encouraging signs about the health of native-animal habitat in the park. Surveillance cameras captured footage of the bandicoots, listed as endangered in Victoria. The footage represents the first recorded sighting of the animals by park rangers in two years and follows confirmation of an increase in the park’s population of critically endangered brush-tailed rock wallabies. The sightings suggest the bandicoots and other animals in the area might be benefiting from a combination of factors such as rain levels, a lack of large-scale bushfires and Parks Victoria’s conservation

programs such as Grampians Ark. The Grampians Ark program targets foxes and feral cats, which can have a devastating impact on birds and small mammals, such as bandicoots. The State Government funds the work through its $33.67-million Biodiversity Response Planning and Weeds and Pests on Public Land program. The southern brown bandicoot is a ground-dwelling marsupial with a grey-brown coat and a long tapering snout. Mostly active after dusk, they play an important role in the ecosystem by turning over soil, which helps increase the rate of leaf litter decomposition and nutrient cycling. Parks Victoria Grampians Ark co-ordinator Derek Sandow said the sightings were encouraging news for a native animal that

for some time in the Grampians give us encouragement about the health of the national park and our conservation efforts,” he said.

Halls Gap pop-up space A vacant lot at 99 Grampians Road in Halls Gap is set to become a temporary community general-use space. Northern Grampians Shire Council is working with landscape artist Felicity Brown from Iaimiga design studio in Horsham, to create an area that includes native plants and nature elements to blend with the surrounding landscape. Business Victoria, under the State Government’s Outdoor Dining Package, is funding the pop-up space for 12 months for community events and activities including outdoor movies. Mayor Murray Emerson said the space would provide a comfortable engaging area where patrons could bring their own food and drinks and enjoy the natural surroundings. He said the park would be a ‘wonderful’ addition to the Halls Gap streetscape. Cr Emerson said people could meet project manager Lisa Whyte and landscape architect Felicity Brown from 2pm to 3pm on March 27 at 99 Grampians Road, Halls Gap to view and discuss the concept design. “I encourage everyone to come along to the upcoming information session about the project to make sure the community’s needs are reflected in the park’s design,” he said.

A surge in electric-vehicle sales in Australia has prompted Ararat Rural City Council to install an additional three charging stations across the municipality. Residents can expect to see charging stations open in Ararat, Pomonal and Lake Bolac in coming weeks as part of a council project to improve access for electric-vehicle owners. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the location of an Elizabeth Park charging station under construction in the rural city, situated along the Western Highway, would provide a reason for people to stop and spend time in Ararat. “The station in Elizabeth Park is close to Alexandra Gardens and a short walk to the main shopping district, giving people a chance to recharge their car and themselves,” he said. Dr Harrison said the projects were a council

response to a fast-changing market, which the organisation was seizing as a way to attract people to the region. “People are now embracing electric cars because of their improved affordability, better acceleration and on-road performance, which has caused electric-vehicle sales in Australia to triple in recent years,” he said. “These trends are likely to grow over the coming years and council will be ahead of the curve. “We are building a reputation as an electricvehicle friendly region. “Investing early in growing markets and embracing new technology is key to growing our region, situating Ararat Rural City as a prosperous rural centre for people to visit, live and invest.” – Dylan De Jong

Father inspiration for cycle T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he son of a physician who spent almost three decades treating Wimmera patients will cycle from Melbourne to Horsham next month to raise money for research into Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

David Abud, 54, will start his ride from Federation Square on April 10 with a plan to complete his project in three days and raise at least $10,000. David’s father Dr Rodney Abud, 84, for many years a prominent medical figure in the region, is in full-time care in Heidelberg, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. David said a cruel irony surrounding circumstances was that it had been only six years since his father was treating patients with the same condition. “Although he officially retired earlier, he was about 78 when he fully stopped practising. At the time his work involved diagnosing Alzheimer’s and dementia patients,” he said. “He will be 85 in August and is now suffering the disease he was treating and has gone downhill during the COVID pandemic. “I always do the Cadel Evans bike ride and I thought that maybe I should do something for dad. “I had discussions with David Berry in Horsham and he suggested I do it for Alzheimer’s, which made sense. “There has been some research into this disease lately, but overall there hasn’t been a lot. I put the project up on a ‘GoFundMe’ page online and it went mad.” Dr Rodney Abud arrived in Horsham as a general physician in 1966, helped consolidate a clinical practice and was Wimmera Base Hospital’s management board president for many years until he left in 1987. He then went to Melbourne where he helped establish the Peter James Centre, the first public geriatric hospital in East Burwood and one of the first of its kind in taking public patients for rehabilitation. He also set up a similar service

at Donvale Rehabilitation Hospital. David said his mother Beryl, a midwife for 55 years, which included a lengthy stint at Wimmera Base Hospital, was dealing ‘reasonably’ well with circumstances but had broken her hip at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It has been hard for everyone in the family and I’ve personally felt a bit hopeless,” he said.

Community, government agency and business leaders and officials from across the Wimmera explored issues surrounding rural ‘liveability’ during an online forum. Primary-care partnership groups across the state’s south-west joined forces with Wimmera Development Association to present the think-tank and define the key elements in a framework that generated healthy and progressive communities. The group analysed the issue based on regional accessibility, sustainability, connectivity, flexibility and equity liveability principles and a broad range of social, environmental and economic elements sitting under the principles. The groups will measure liveability across 10 shires to develop health and wellbeing plans during the year. The idea of the forum was to gather ideas and perceptions from people in leadership positions to add to information that eventually opened the door for ‘smart decisions through the process of planning and processes’. The premise is that ‘an agreed definition of rural liveability in the region will allow an identification of challenges, opportunities or issues for further investigation or action’.

Sportsman

David, a surgical-theatre technician in Melbourne, grew up in Horsham where he established himself as a prominent and talented sportsman. He played in a 1989 Horsham football premiership before leaving to take up a volleyball scholarship in Canberra and ultimately became an established elite volleyballer representing Australia at championship level. Despite rising 55, he maintains a high level of fitness, playing football alongside fellow Horsham volleyball export Darren Franks at super-league level for players over 35 and is keenly involved in a variety of sports including cycling. The father of two and sibling of seven said he was confident he could complete the project and had been preparing by ‘putting in some big Ks’ on weekend rides. “To ride all that distance in three days is going to be quite an effort and there is no doubt I will be pretty tired,” he said. “I’m not sure where I’ll end the race in Horsham, but I’m thinking the White Hart Hotel, which was the only place dad would sneak in to have a beer on the quiet.” David will ride from Federation Square to Ballarat on April 10, where he will finish at Ballarat’s Minerdome Sports Club. The end of the leg will coincide with a Victorian Volleyball League game featuring the David Berry-coached Phantoms, where supporters are organising a money-raising event. He will then ride from Ballarat to Ararat on April 11 and Ararat to

‘Liveability’ think-tank

System update RIDING FOR DAD: David Abud, who grew up in Horsham, will ride from Melbourne to Horsham to raise money for Alzheimer’s and dementia research. Horsham on April 12. “I have a few people to help me on the riding legs, including my father-in-law who at 74 will join me on the second leg from Ballarat to Ararat and possibly Ararat to Horsham,” David said. “I have an anaesthetist, surgeon and registered nurse helping me on the initial leg from Melbourne and I’m exploring if there are other riders through Horsham connections who might want to join me for the last part of the ride. “I was initially aiming to raise about

$1000 or $5000 at the most, but I’m already over $6000 and Alzheimer’s Australia has been in touch and is providing support.” People can support David Abud’s Melbourne-to-Horsham ride by visiting au.gofundme.com website, searching for Alzheimer’s bike ride for Dr Rodney E. Abud and making a donation. Anyone interested in joining David on the last part of his ride into Horsham can call David Berry on 0487 824 599.

Ararat Rural City Council is moving to a new administrative system in an effort to create better communication between all stakeholder groups across the municipality. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said council would introduce Greenlight, a web-based system that streamlined permit and planning applications. “The software creates better communication between builders, residents, council, state bodies and even community members affected by developments,” he said. He said everything from the first inquiry through to final inspections would be administered through Greenlight and customers could upload applications, pay fees and view progress as their requests went through the various stages of processing.

Opportunity to join health voice G

rampians Community Health is calling on the community to help strengthen health services and programs in the region.

The organisation will officially launch its consumer advisory committee next month and is seeking expressions of interest from a range of people. The new committee is designed to provide the voice and experience of GCH consumers into the organisation’s formal planning and decision-making processes. Chief executive Greg Little said the committee would be an important link between the community and GCH board of directors. He said the committee concept was the result of a ‘need to know what GCH is doing is right, of good quality and well known in the community. And if it’s not, why not, and how do we do better’. “GCH is part of the community. We want the community to be part of GCH by engaging and empowering it to influence the direction and quality of care of services,” he said. The group aims to recruit a cross-section of people from various regional locations to help meet a GCH goal to achieve a ‘healthy, resilient people and communities’ vision and ‘to lead the change toward improved health and wellbeing of people in our region’. “GCH was founded on providing services that the community needs and keeps evolving as the community does,” Mr Little said. “Our towns are not the same as they were in 1986 and neither is GCH, therefore we need to continually hear from local people, our service users, the other services and even the people who don’t use our services for different reasons.”

Mr Little said the group would ideally include people with a disability and from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, LGBTQI and culturally and linguistically diverse people. “Health and social services such as aged care, family violence and mental health have been in the news a lot lately since the Royal Commissions found system failings in these areas,” he said. “It is very important now that while the government is looking to invest in these areas to fix the problems, GCH knows what the community needs locally so that we can be part of the solution. “For services such as alcohol and other drugs, gambling and chronic-disease management for instance, just because they aren’t in the news doesn’t mean to say they don’t have an impact in our community and if it is a priority locally then GCH can be advocates for change.”

Meeting needs

Mr Little said the group would meet four times a year to discuss community needs and how GCH was meeting them “It could be as simple as our documentation and brochures – do they make sense to people in the community, do they make you want to come to GCH if you need assistance,” he said. Positions are open for up to four GCH consumers or carers, up to four interested people from the general community and two stakeholders or partners in service provision. People can collect expression-of-interest forms to be part of the consumer advisory committee at Grampians Community Health offices in Stawell, Horsham or Ararat or by emailing cac@gch.org.au.

Music a ‘forever thing’ BY DYLAN DE JONG

irtual platforms have provided Horsham-originated band Alice Skye an opportunity to link into an international music market and maintain an audience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The three-piece indie collective including Wergaia singer-songwriter Alice Skye, with King twins, guitarist Sam and drummer Kane, will launch two music videos for American arts and music conference South by Southwest. The band will submit videos for its original songs Stay in Bed and Party Tricks, which were recorded from a Glenisla farm last month, to the music conference. The musicians planned to attend the physical event in Austin, Texas, in March last year before it was cancelled in the wake of the pandemic. Kane said he was confident the virtual performances would help the band network with industry professionals, which could lead to American tours in a post-COVID world. “The idea for us was to find an American booking agent and have those networks in America so we could do a nationwide tour,” he said. “We have a booking agent for Australia, but in order to break into another continent you really need support of industry people in that country.” Kane said the band played six shows last year, compared with

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION: Singer-songwriter Alice Skye and guitarist Sam King film a music clip for an original song at a Glenisla farm last month. 150 in 2019. He said he believed linking into the virtual market was one of few options musicians had to stay proactive while live music opportunities were few and far between. “We’re trying to push ourselves in the same way we always did, but in the face of adversity,” he said. “We’re trying to be more prolific in the way we do these live-session videos to create content for people wherever they are, whether in lockdown or not.” Kane said the band was aiming

to create an identifiable brand in its music videos, which audiences could connect with, while continuing a theme of previous clips. “It’s creating a brand around us as well. Our video clips have been directed and filmed by the same person and use the same colour palette, which is just part of creating an identity that people can associate our music with,” he said. “There’s always a pink-red sort of palette used in the videos, featuring native plants and a lot of surrealism – everything is accentuated.”

Sam added focus would be on promoting the band’s image and preparing for live performances. “What we’re trying to do is create fully realised artistic projects when it comes to new music, including an audio aspect and a visual aspect,” he said. “We’re also trying to make the music sound as good as we can live through practice and create a live show that’s incredible. “Music is going to be a forever thing for us, so we’re just trying to keep using it and making it bigger and better.”

Performing arts restart in Stawell A Stawell performing arts organisation has ambitious plans this year and is calling on people across the region to get involved. Stawell Performing Arts Company is bouncing back after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of many of its performances last year. During lockdowns, the company moved its popular ‘Take the Stage’ open-mic nights to a Zoom format. When restrictions eased, Stawell Golf Club became the new home for the performances. The group is also exploring more ideas for performance and entertainment options at the golf club, including singalong movies, karaoke nights, live music and a combination of amateur and professional stage performances. A ukulele and come-and-sing group and Young Ones and Little Ones programs have also restarted. A Young Ones theatre performance and an open day on the grand piano are pencilled in for Stawell Entertainment Centre later this year. The group will partner with a Grampians Youth Events committee that will organise an events program for people 25 and younger. The performing arts group has appointed a new committee for 2021-22, with Ian Mitchell as president and Greg Little, secretary-treasurer.

Theatre stars in city Australian musical-theatre stars Rachael Beck and Michael Cormick will perform at Horsham Town Hall tomorrow. The pair, who became close friends after performing together 25 years ago during the musical Beauty and the Beast, will present an evening of stories, fun, laughter and tears. You and I: Rachael Beck and Michael Cormick melds scenes into songs, providing a snapshot of many musicals in one night of entertainment. Beck has had a significant television and stage career and Cormick has worked extensively in London, Europe and in Australia.

Styling cues

Kia teases its new EV6, which could be in Australia by the end of the year

ia Corporation has released the first set of teaser images for its upcoming EV6 electric vehicle, a car that could be with us by the end of the year following confirmation it will be revealed this month.

Based on the wider Hyundai Motor Group’s ‘electric-global modular platform’, the EV6 looks set to feature all of Kia’s signature styling cues including the ‘tiger nose’ grille, angular headlights and bold contour lines. Distinguishing it from the brand’s internal-combustion-engined vehicles is a shorter and more curvaceous bonnet along with a new sloping tailgate,

lending the EV6 a similar silhouette to the premium Jaguar I-Pace. At the front, the small and angular lights are mounted low in relation to the rest of the body, while the rear is adorned with what looks to be a fullwidth LED brake strip resembling the arching tail-lights and spoiler of the current Civic RS hatch. The curving nature of the brake strip also reveals a wide hipline, something more visible from a three-quarter angle with the flanks of the EV6 sporting both soft curves and sharper contours. Kia design boss Karim Habib said the EV6 would be the embodiment of both the brand’s ‘purpose’ and new design philosophy.

“It has been designed to inspire every journey by offering an instinctive and natural experience that improves the daily lives of our customers and provides user ownership that is simple,” he said. “Our aim is to design the physical experience of our brand and to create bold, original and inventive electric vehicles.” Given it rides on the same platform as the recently revealed Ioniq 5, it would be safe to expect the EV6 to be powered by a 58kWh lithium-ion battery at the very least and offer the choice of both rear and all-wheel drive, as per its Ioniq cousin. Going by the numbers present in

the model names and comparing the silhouette proportions, it would also be safe to assume the EV6 will be bigger than the 5 – perhaps in the segment above – which would also help prevent competition between the two if they launch at similar times. A Kia Australia spokesperson said it was ‘way too early for even the slightest indication of timing’ for the EV6, meaning its launch could still be some way off, however we expect it to arrive this year going by previous communications from the brand. The launch of the EV6 will mark the beginning of a new era for Kia under its ‘Plan S’ strategy, which will see seven EVs launched between now and

2027. Specifically, executives say the brand will transition from a traditional auto-maker to a ‘leading EV brand in the market’. Overall Kia sales in Australia are up 15.7 percent so far this year ending February, with 11,371 units sold compared with the 9825 shifted over the same two-month period last year. With no singular model doing the bulk of the heavy lifting, the Cerato small car has proven the most popular model within the current portfolio, followed by the Seltos compact SUV and ageing Sportage mid-sizer. – Callum Hunter

Hyundai confirms new people carrier

yundai Motor Company Australia is gearing up to launch a new generation of people mover, with the brand last week revealing the first images of the Staria, a replacement for the ageing iMax.

a stretched, scaled-up first-generation Mercedes A-Class with its gradually curving windscreen and roofline. Adding to the unique proportions is an extremely tall glasshouse, the result of a particularly low windowline which will no doubt offer superb visibility for passengers. At the rear there is a set of vertically stacked tail-lights running from the base of the roof-mounted lip spoiler right the way down almost to the bumper. The teaser images reveal a few key details regarding the premium version’s interior, most of which point

to it being a more upmarket offering aimed at nabbing sales from vehicles like the Toyota Granvia and Volkswagen Multivan. Armed with ‘premium features and variant-exclusive finishes’ such as leather upholstery, ambient lighting and reclining rear captain’s seats, the Staria’s interior is ruled by a huge floating infotainment screen, which also looks to house the HVAC controls. Going by the icons on said screen, we expect the premium to feature both heated and cooled seats, dual or tri-zone climate control as well as

the almost guaranteed Apple CarPlayAndroid Auto smartphone compatibility. With no gear lever in sight, park, reverse and drive are selected by a new button-style selector on the driver’s side of the dash. Using the segment-leading Carnival as a basis, it would be safe to expect the standard Staria to offer seating for up to eight people including the driver, which could in some ways place it at odds with the Palisade large SUV. HMCA is not worried about any potential crossover between the two, citing they occupy two very different

markets and are aimed at different customer bases. HMCA corporate communications general manager Bill Thomas said the Staria was a dedicated people mover, while Palisade was a large SUV. “They have very different roles to play in our range, offer different solutions to customers and the exterior design, interior layout and space are very different,” he said. Mr Thomas revealed the brand was pushing for an Australian launch in the second half of this year, falling neatly into line with GoAuto’s predictions made last year following the discovery of the Staria’s trademark filing. While HMCA has previously said it was satisfied with the sales performance of the current iMax and the related iLoad van, it will undoubtedly be hoping for a stronger showing from the Staria as the Carnival continues to increase its share of the segment’s sales, which is now up to 62.4 percent, 1048 units, as of February. HMCA has shifted just 118 examples of the now 12-year-old iMax so far this year ending February, earning it a 7.0 percent market share behind the aforementioned Kia, Honda Odyssey, 11.5 percent, LDV G10 Wagon, 8.3 percent and Volkswagen Multivan, 7.9 percent. – Callum Hunter

LMCT: 7944

Set to be available in both standard and ‘Premium’ guises, the Staria will wade straight into battle against the recently launched fourth-gen Kia Carnival, by far and away the dominant force in the sub-$60,000 people carrier segment. Teased in a series of six darkened images, HMCA says the Staria is futuristic both by name and design with a heap of new-age styling cues sure to set it apart from its competition. Unlike the current range of passenger cars within the HMCA portfolio, the key feature of the Staria is its inherent lack of harsh lines and contours; everything is swooping and gently curved, so much so many might actually think it’s electric – while unlikely, GoAuto has contacted HMCA for confirmation. At the front we find the increasingly familiar low-set headlight arrangement either side of the mesh grille, above which resides a new full-width LED light strip, something not previously seen from the brand. The star of the styling show, however, is the Staria’s silhouette, the lines of which could almost be likened to

Polestar confirms Australian launch

fter launching as its own brand as an offshoot from parent company Volvo in mid2017, EV marque Polestar has announced it is planning to officially launch in Australia and New Zealand later this year.

The Chinese-owned Swedish brand has also announced it will be launching in three other Asia-Pacific markets this year – South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, which will mark a significant expansion for the brand that initially launched in China, North America and Europe. For Australia, the brand is currently establishing sales units independent of Volvo’s operations, while New Zealand will ‘likely’ use an importer model, with local partners to be locked in later down the track. Samantha Johnson has been appointed as managing director of Polestar Australia. Ms Johnson previously held the position of director of business control, financial services and digital transformation for Volvo Australia, and before that, a variety of roles across a 10-year stint with Harley-Davidson AustraliaNew Zealand. Polestar head of China and Asia Pacific regions Nathan Forshaw said progress was underway for the expansion into new markets. “Specific roll-out timing is at an ad-

Answers: 1. West Germany. The four original members were Jamaicans Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett, Maizie Williams from Monserrat and Bobby Farrell, Aruba. German record producer Frank Farian, the group’s primary songwriter, created the group in 1976, which has sold about 80-million records worldwide. 2. The cassette tape. He also played a major role in development of the first compact disc. He was product development manager at Phillips in the early 1960s and created the cassette in response to large and clumsy reel-to-reel tapes of the time. 3. Trade, Tourism and Investment. 4. True. Surveillance cameras have confirmed the species still inhabits the Grampians and some populations might also be in the Little Desert. 5. Silverfish, Ctenolepisma species. There are several species of this insect in Australia but relatively few have undergone extensive study. Their silver colour is caused by scales, similar to what covers the wings of butterflies and moths. 6. A. Although some suggest some form of conspiracy, there is broad historical acceptance that Attila choked on his own blood while in a drunken stupor on his wedding night. 7. Turkey and-or Syria. Analysis suggests it was first grown in the Karacadag Mountains. Genetic analysis of wild emmer wheat cultivation in the southern Levant or eastern Mediterranean dates back to at least 9600BC. 8. Electric toaster. The original ‘Eclipse’ device toasted bread one side at a time. A bread-ejection system emerged in the United States of America in 1927 and in 1930 thermostatic controls started to appear on models. 9. Ernst Chain. 10. Rockmelon or cantaloupe. 41 Pynsent St Horsham ph 5382 1249 www.horshamcentrecinemas.com.au

God in the details – Proverbs 22:1

“The devil is in the details” is an interesting saying isn’t it; things that may have seemed simple to start off with are more complex and involved than what we thought. We can see this highlighted when, for whatever reason, we don’t tell the truth, even if we consider it a white lie. This often means we have to add to the lie to keep the truth from being found out, the devil in the detail. How truthful are we as what we say and do allows others to look in a window and see what we are really like on the inside. It shows who we really are and it doesn’t take too long, especially in a small town, for a person to get a reputation as someone who may not deal fairly with others, someone whom may take licence in what they say and do. God’s word in a number of places tells us the value of truth, Jesus said himself “I am the way, the truth and the life” (Jn. 14:6) but it is Proverbs I want to look at (22:1). “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” “Esteem” is one of those words we don’t hear much today but it means to hold something in high regard, to have great value. In our single verse ‘who we are’ is worth more than gold and silver, that is the true value of our name and character. Some may not be aware that the idiom “the devil in the details” comes from an older saying “God is in the details” which means what is said and done is exact, precise and true. Let’s kick the devil out of the details and put God back in by being a people of truth. Captain Greg Turnbull, The Salvation Army Ararat / Stawell

Racing-dog fascination

he history of greyhound coursing in the Wimmera continues to generate interest with the resurfacing of more memorabilia involving the unique sport.

Horsham’s Daryl Giddings, 77, intrigued when he saw coursing cups displayed in The Weekly Advertiser’s Horsham Cup greyhound-racing preview, has unearthed another historic trophy. The Weekly Advertiser story reflected on a 1920 Waterloo Cup, the greyhound-coursing equivalent to the Melbourne Cup, famously won by British Foot, a champion dog owned at the time by prominent Kalkee farmer David Lawson. The story also featured an even older trophy, the 1913 Sheep Hills Plumpton Coursing Club Cup won by Brave Heart. Mr Giddings’ trophy, passed down through his family, is the 1928 Quambatook Coursing Club Cup won by his grandfather Herb Giddings with his dog Gay Foot. “Our property was next to David Lawson’s farm and growing up we always knew about the trophy and had heard about British Foot. I’m not sure, but Gay Foot must have been connected in some way,” he said. Live coursing, with hunting origins and involving two dogs chasing and wheeling game such as a hare, started in Horsham in the early 1900s off Plumpton Road. In 1920 the list of approved coursing clubs in Victoria also included Beulah, Brim, Charlton, Hopetoun, Kalkee,

MORE COURSING HISTORY: Kalkee farmer Daryl Giddings displays a 1928 Quambatook Coursing Club Cup won by greyhound Gay Foot owned by his grandfather Herb. Picture: DEAN LAWSON Murtoa, Nhill, Sheep Hills and Stawell. Quambatook was obviously also part of the coursing scene. There are different types of coursing and the word ‘plumpton’ means enclosed greyhound track. Speed coursing, involving up to eight runners and artificial lures, ultimately evolved into the mainstream type of dog racing of today.

Two-dog coursing with artificial lures maintains an enthusiastic following. Mr Giddings said he had personally briefly dabbled in greyhound racing with a dog called Sedalia Lass, which won its first race, had a placing in its second and then drifted out of form. “I used to train it by running around the paddocks when I played football with Dimboola,” he said.

Memorial fun run Stawell’s Lindsay Kent Memorial Fun Run will move from its traditional home at Stawell Racecourse to North Park this year. Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club officials were forced to cancel the popular Easter Sunday event, which attracts visitors from interstate as part of the Stawell Gift, due to COVID-19 last year. The cancellation followed a one-off venture into the streets of Stawell in 2019. Club president Shevahn Healy said members would have loved to return to the racecourse, but the state was still under COVID restrictions when planning started. “There was no point in asking the Stawell Racing Club because at the time they had strict COVID protocols in place for their big race day,” she said. “We chose North Park because the open space there is ideal for social distancing. There are COVID protocols still to be observed and we are geared to be flexible should restrictions change before Easter Sunday.” The club has staggered a start to keep runners in the five-kilometre event separate from three-kilometre walkers and runners. “We’ll get the five-kilometre runners going first at 8.30am sharp and the three-kilometre participants following three to five minutes later on a different course,” Ms Healy said. “The five kilometres is a challenging two-lap course through the ironbarks, with lots of twists and turns along the way, but the three kilometres is faster, mostly long, straight runs with a loop back through the forest and more suitable for families with dogs and prams.” As usual, the club will present sashes to the first male and female in the five-kilometre and under-16 three-kilometre categories. There will also be a draw for a random sash, presented to a lucky winner. The club has received a $500 donation from national risk-management company Australian Essential Services Compliance, to provide spot prizes for participants. Cost of entry in the fun run is $20 for adults, $10 for children under-16 and $50 for a family of four. People can register online through Eventbrite or from 8am at North Park on Easter Sunday.

Saints, Lawn to battle BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Lawn and St Michaels will go head to head for the last 202021 Central Wimmera Tennis Association grand-final spot when they meet in a preliminary final on Saturday.

The Saints won their way through to a showdown against Lawn after ousting higher-ranked Kalkee at the weekend. Kalkee, once touted most likely to challenge Drung South for the title, got off to a slow start against a Saints outfit coming into form at the right time of the season. Kee Kirby Knight got her side on the board with an 8-6 singles win over Marli Pymer, with team-mate Steve Schultz following suit later in the day, defeating Ian Nitschke 8-2. The Kees’ four sets came courtesy of singles triumphs, with Melissa Beddison and Jeff Friberg also victorious. But Kalkee was unable to match it with the Saints in doubles, with the fourth-placed outfit claiming the spoils 8-82 to 4-64. The addition of Jess McDonald to the side has clearly paid dividends, with the young star

finishing with three wins for the afternoon. Team-mate Nick Robertson also enjoyed a successful day, undefeated at Kalkee. St Michaels will be out to secure a spot in the pennant decider when it meets Lawn, coming off a semi-final loss to Drung South. The match was a competitive one, but the minor premier was too good on the day, triumphing 7-81 to 5-61. Talented youngsters led the way for both sides, with Drung’s Logan Casey and Lawn’s Thalia Thompson both claiming three wins apiece. Two sets were decided by tiebreakers as both sides battled hard for the opportunity to advance. Plenty of interest will surround this weekend’s final at Horsham Lawn. Will the lawn courts favour the home side, or will the Saints – the only side to defeat Drung South this season – continue their rich vein of form? Time will tell. Participants will be hoping for better weather on Saturday following heavy rain last week. Matches in the four senior grades were played throughout Saturday and Sunday due to the

difficult conditions. In A Special, top side Natimuk is through to the grand final after defeating Telangatuk East, 9-83 to 5-71. Fourth-placed Horsham Lawn Massey upset third-placed Noradjuha, 9-91 to 5-84, to keep its finals hopes alive. Lawn will travel to take on Telangatuk East on Saturday. St Michaels dominated Drung South in an A Grade semi-final to secure its spot in the decider, winning 11-92 to 1-55.

GREAT SUPPORT: Ararat Legacy president Kevin Bowles, left, presents ONE Office National’s Billy Cairns with a Kevin Lewin Shield for an Ararat Legacy Golf Day.

Money for good cause

Drung South has a second chance this week against Horsham Lawn, which proved too strong for Haven in a much closer encounter, 7-78 to 5-73. Drung South fared better in B Grade and is through to the grand final after getting the better of Natimuk, 9-87 to 3-55. Natimuk will host St Michaels in the preliminary final. The Saints knocked Horsham Lawn out of the running with a two-set win, 7-75 to 5-72.

A community golf day enabled an Ararat organisation to raise money to help care for families of fallen or seriously injured veterans. More than 70 golfers teed off for an annual Ararat Legacy Golf Day at Chalambar Golf Club early last week in support of the cause. Ararat Legacy Club president Kevin Bowles said about $2500 raised on the day would be used for welfare assistance to war widows throughout the Ararat region. “We acknowledge the great turnout and also add our thanks to all the wonderful sponsors and supporters of the day, many who have helped out every year,” he said. “The day is a valued opportunity to connect with the golfing community and to gain some financial benefit to support widows of war servicemen within the Ararat Legacy region.”

Upsets the order of volleyball night BY DAVID BERRY

on Steiger Bloods and Volleyroos were the big winners from round three of Volleyball Horsham’s A Grade competition.

Both teams went into their games without a win on the board and were supposed to be up against it, facing off against higher-ranked teams. The Von Steiger Bloods, who were missing key players Jon Fitzgerald and Ash Davidson, bounced out of the blocks and had the first set on the board before Shados Inala knew what hit it.

Tim Carter set consistently all game, ably supported by James Davidson and Sam Leith. Tim Popple threw everything at the opposition but could not land the winning blow, while Caleb Smith was impressive as a middle attacker. Volleyroos welcomed back Jordy Weidemann and Kimberley Crabtree and the two combined well in their win over Heidelberg. Heidelberg welcomed back Fergus Schier and he slipped into his customary middle blocking role, while Tamikah Dockrill tried her hand at

playing as a pass-hitter. Volleyroos were able to keep enough pressure on the Heidelberg receivers to negate the ability of setter Nathan Berry to set an effective attack and in the end cruised to a four-set victory. Top-of-the-table Phantoms had to pull out all stops to beat the young Pegasus team. After trailing two sets to love after 40 minutes, Phantoms showed why they will be the team to beat, steamrolling their opponents to win the next two sets comfortably to set up a points victory.

The game of the round this week will be Phantoms against Shados Inala, first versus third on the ladder, while Heidelberg and Pegasus will be an entertaining clash, and likewise Von Steiger Bloods and Volleyroos. The match of the night in B Grade will be the contest between the young Von Steiger Boomers and Heidelberg Masters. The Boomers have Tom Milbourne in good form, supported by Sam Peachey and Casey Quick. The side pushed the ageing Waterhammers all the way last week and

just missed out on causing an upset. It will be keen to learn from that and put Heidelberg Masters under pressure. Heidelberg Masters will look to Mark Radford to continue his good serving form, while Vaughn Maroske and Paul Drendel will form a potent attack. In other matches, the Parma Army should bounce back against Von Steiger Barbarians, Waterhammers should be too strong for Von Steiger Gangsters and Von Steiger Shadows will be too good for stablemates Von Steiger Bloods.

Thomson leads Horsham titles Berger wins selection Nick Thomson will take a threeshot lead into the third round of Horsham Golf Club men’s championships on Saturday. Thomson shot rounds of 7573-148 at the weekend to lead A Grade from Lewis Gebert 7477-151 and Jeremy Schmidt 7774-151. The contest continues on Saturday and will culminate in a final round on Saturday week. Dale Schmidt leads intermediates with 84-79-163 from Michael Bates 84-80-164 and Damiano Boddi 85-81-166. Wayne Caddy, 90-85-175, tops B Grade standings from Steve Bruce 91-87-178 and Ross Barnett, 93-90-183 and Braydon Ison, 89–90-179, is ahead in C Grade from Chris Delahunty 10092-192 and Dean Johns, 90-102192. A club women’s championship will also continue this week, with a second round scheduled for tomorrow and further rounds on Tuesday and March 25. Tracey Hobbs shot a first-round 80 to lead A Grade from Jenny McRae, 82, and Lisa Jakobi, 83. In intermediates, Trudy Parker, 90, leads from Barb Farr, 92 and Helen Burke, 93 and Kaye Smith leads B Grade with 96 from Anne Jackson, 97 and Wendy Rule, 98. C Grade leader is Rose Paynter, 101, with Annette Fechner next on 102 and Alison Radcliffe, 103.

Ararat basketballer Fletcher Berger will represent Victoria Country at the Australian Under-18 Junior Championships in Werribee next month. Berger is among 10 talented juniors to secure a spot on the team, which also has seven emergencies. Six of the 10 players to win selection are part of the VNPP, Victorian National Performance Program. Basketballers will be keen to compete at national level again in 2021, with last year’s event cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Berger, who shares his time between Ararat and Ballarat, enjoyed success earlier in 2020 when he was part of Victoria Country’s gold-medal winning under-16 team at the Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup. Under-18 Vic Country head coach for next month’s championships, Joel Anderson, said the selection process was competitive. “The tryout process was a hectic, high paced workout, which really tested how fit athletes were coming out of

lockdown,” he said. “A process which usually takes a couple months, took mere weeks and this was a real test for coaches and athletes alike. “The team features seven bottom-aged players, showing the strength of their age group – the team is fast paced, strong and ready for any challenge. “I’m looking forward to attending a Victorian event – it will be great to have the hometown support for the boys.” The championships will be at Eagle Stadium from April 10 to 17. Team list – Alex Molan, Ballarat; Corey Hastings, Southern Peninsula; Darcy Jones, Southern Peninsula; Fletcher Burger, Ararat-Ballarat; George Stevens, Warrnambool; Jack Connolly, Geelong United; Jack Hrehoresen, Maffra, Jet Kneebone, Geelong United; Lachlan Smith, Wonthaggii-Dandenong; and Lucas Impey, Ballarat.

AFL umpires to lead roadshow

immera and District Umpires will launch its season with a roadshow featuring trailblazing AFL umpires Eleni Glouftsis and Chelsea Roffery.

The pair will visit schools and lead afterschool clinics and club umpire information sessions before taking Wimmera and District Umpires training on Monday. Glouftsis and first female AFL grand-final umpire Roffey have encouraged the community to attend their school sessions, clinics and on and off-field information sessions in partnership with Wimmera and District Umpires at Horsham City Oval. Umpires director Cameron Pickering said the umpires’ visit was a fantastic opportunity to hear from two athletes who had reached the pinnacle in their field and the process of breaking down significant barriers. “Particularly straight after round one of the AFL’s relaunch, where some significant rule changes have been introduced, there should be some great insight into the AFL umpires’ interpretation and application,” he said. Mr Pickering said the umpires group has invited club umpires from across the region to gain high-level guidance on interpreting the new laws. “However, anyone from the public is invited to attend these sessions,” he said. Mr Pickering said the roadshow was main-

ly about sowing the seed that the football-umpiring pathway was rewarding. “There are options for people from all walks of life to ‘get in the game’, make a nice bit of pocket money, improve their health, meet people, build confidence and potentially even make a career out of it,” he said. “You don’t even need to commit to any games. Just come along to training and see if you enjoy yourself after a few weeks. “It’s very rare though for people to not enjoy it and not stick at it. More so, people regularly say ‘I should have done this years ago!’” Mr Pickering said Wimmera and District Umpires provided accredited and experienced coaching in a welcoming environment to ‘get you on your way’. He said people could call him on 0428 922 589 for more information. Umpire roadshow schedule – Monday: 10.53am, St Brigid’s College, Horsham; 12.10pm, Holy Trinity Lutheran College, Horsham; 1.50pm, Horsham College; 4.45pm, come-and-try clinic, Horsham City Oval; 5.45pm, skills and drills with Wimmera umpires; 6.20pm, questions and answers on umpire pathway, with Wimmera umpires at Horsham City Oval; Wimmera umpire briefing session on departure of guests.

Alexander wins Hopper medal West Wimmera player Nathan Alexander is Horsham Cricket Association’s champion all-rounder and 2020-21 A Grade Cec Hopper Medallist. Alexander, who opens both the batting and bowling for the Warriors, made 441 runs at 33.92, captured 24 wickets at 12.8, took 17 catches and was involved in three run-outs in 13 games during the home-and-away season. His bowling figures also won him a bowling aggregate award. He will be a crucial player in an A Grade grand-final series starting on Saturday. Horsham association officials presented awards at the weekend. Jamie Byrne from Minyip was the highest run-scoring player in the competition, scoring 450 runs. He also had the best average with 45. Homers’ Chaminda Gamage won an association bowlingaverage trophy with 23 wickets at 9.91. A player of the year award, based on man-of-the-match accolades, went to NoradjuhaToolondo’s Matt Combe, also a key player in this weekend’s grand-final games. Josh Colbert from Colts won the association’s B Grade Alan McRae Medal and Garry Hal-

sociations – Horsham, Grampians, Wimmera Mallee and Swan Hill – who recognised the need to have an all-girls junior cricket competition to develop and encourage cricket as a sport for all,” Mr Caccaviello said. “The collective efforts of parents,

Roos win back to back

immera Roos have claimed back-to-back Wimmera Girls Cricket League titles following a thrilling end to the season at Donald on Sunday.

Four teams finished the second block of competition for 2020-21 on three wins, meaning percentage was required to determine the overall victor. Regional cricket manager Tony Caccaviello said the formula of runs scored divided by runs scored against, saw Wimmera Roos crowned champions for the second consecutive season. “In a high scoring and boundary-laden game, Wimmera Roos accounted for Horsham Sixers to claim victory and leapfrog to the top of the WGCL ladder, being crowned champions of the season later in the day,” he said. The Sixers won the toss and elected to bat, with Sophie Walsh posting a career-best 17 not out. She was supported by Olivia Heard, who also posted a career high with 15. The Sixers recorded 7-75 from their innings, with Roos medium pacer Isobelle Schorback tearing through the Sixers middle order with figures of 4-12. When Roos started their innings, Paige Glover got her team off to a flyer for the second week in a row,

compiling 33no. As openers Abbey Williams, 27no, and Glover laid the platform for the Roos, Schorback produced the all-round display of the season, racking up 35 runs to go with her earlier excellence with the ball. The Roos finished their innings on 4-154. Wimmera Mallee Belles and Stawell Strikers also locked horns on Sunday, with the Belles welcoming back captain and star player Maddi Fitzpatrick to score an emphatic victory. “This result paved the way for the four-team finish at the top of the ladder,” Mr Caccaviello said. “It was orchestrated by excellent execution with the ball from the Belles, with Bridie Reid claiming the best figures with 2-10 as the Strikers were unable to break free in their innings and were restricted to 6-65.” The Belles got off to a perfect start thanks to an opening partnership by Fitzpatrick, 28no, and Lucinda Holmes-Brown, 13no. Strikers’ Ayva Mitchell, 3-17, and Amelia Moloney, 2-6, combined to give the Stawell side a glimmer of hope, but a counter-attacking Abby Griffiths, 13no, and Abby Weir 12no, helped the Belles to victory with a score of 5-110. In the remaining match of the day,

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER a classy Murray Valley Diamonds outfit proved too hot for Horsham Hurricanes to handle. An all-round bowling performance and fantastic fielding display by the Diamonds was highlighted by Amelia Bell’s two wickets in two balls. The Hurricanes’ lower order of Zara Nicholls, 8, Steph Wundke, 12no, and Hayley Uebergang, 9, worked hard with smart stroke play and aggressive running between the wickets to see the Hurricanes finish their innings on 8-82. “In an incredible display of bat-

ting, Diamonds star Issy Boulton clattered four sixes and two fours to amaze spectators in Donald with her clean striking in a scintillating innings of 36 from 15 balls,” Mr Caccaviello said. Boulton found support from Alana Bookham, 22no. After Boulton retired, the Hurricanes finished their bowling and fielding innings strongly, claiming several wickets and run-outs. However, it was not enough to stop the Diamonds claiming a heavy victory, finishing on 5-154.

Baird shines in Grampians Youth Club’s Nic Baird is Grampians Cricket Association champion player for 2020-21. Baird won his third consecutive Greg Goldsmith Memorial Umpire Award with 10 votes, one vote ahead of Swifts-Great Western’s Tom Eckel and Sam Cocks.

He also took five catches. Swifts-Great Western’s Rick Peters won the competition batting average with 207, having been dismissed only once and his team-mate Matt Heffer won the bowling-average award with 18 wickets at 8.06.

Big finish set for Horsham cricket H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham Cricket Association’s A Grade decider will have a different format and a different look when grand-final action gets underway at Horsham City Oval on Saturday.

Two of the most potent teams in the competition, Noradjuha-Toolondo and West Wimmera, will touch gloves in a best-of-three encounter spanning across the weekend and the following Saturday if necessary. The 40-over-a-side games are primed to be outstanding contests and, if they reflect what has happened during an evenly contested season, could go either way. It is hard to pick an ultimate winner, with both camps boasting spirited and versatile bowling attacks and proven run-makers and, importantly, bubbling desires to win. But Noradjuha-Toolondo finished a clear minor premier and has an affinity with the city oval, which means it enters the series as flag favourite. The Bullants have a potent frontline attack led by all-rounders Tony Caccaviello and Matt Combe, who tend to more often than not make early breakthroughs before an eclectic mix of bowlers take the ball to keep batting sides guessing. Jordan McDonald, Heath Lang and Brendan Wills will enjoy time with the cherry and then there is Josh Beddison and Shane Oakley, with partnership destroying Justtin Combe in the wings. They will front up against a West Wimmera batting side led by outstanding all-rounder and this season’s Cec Hopper Medallist Nathan Alexander. Alexander has only twice failed to reach double figures in his 15 games this year, accumulating 441 runs at a healthy 33.9. His opening partner in crime Mitch Dahlenburg, remarkably, has also scored 441 runs, at 31.5, more than suggesting the Warriors’ top order is crucial for victory. Then there is the likes of Josh Lees, who made runs last hit, Dylan Webb who hurts bowling attacks when settled, and Liam Preston, Travis Polkinghorne and Tim Braendler all regular contributors. The games will be a legitimate contest between Wednesday, March 17, 2021

bat and ball. The figures of Alexander, with 24307 at 12.8, Lees, 15-296 at 19.7 and Austin Merrett 13-219 at 16.8, provide insight into the Warriors’ bowling success this year, but then there is also Preston, Braendler and Luke Smith. They will be on the hunt for big Bullants wickets and hope they can break through regularly. Noradjuha-Toolondo can appear haphazard with the bat – it managed to win while defending only 128 a fortnight ago. But the list looks dangerous. First drop Matt Combe appears in ripping form, making 440 runs at 36.7 during the season, and Justtin Combe, 296 at 21.1, looks dangerous anywhere in the top four, especially in a final. Kent Hair, Oakley, Caccaviello and Troy Dumesny will also take some removing. The teams have made the final courtesy of finishing first and second after the home-and-away season and with semi-final washouts. Rain on Saturday ultimately bundled Homers and Jung Tigers from the premiership equation. Homers would still be lamenting their lastround game, which if they had won, would have put the team in a grand-final spot. The awkward semi-final circumstances underlined the importance of results during the season and teams consistently fielding their strongest teams possible. B Grade and C Grade grand-final series will also involve a best-of-three format, with Homers taking on Colts at Dudley Cornell Park in Horsham in B Grade and West Wimmera playing Quantong at Horsham Community Oval on Dimboola Road. If one of the grand-final games gets washed out, the teams that finished top of the ladder need to win only one game. Grand finals: A Grade, Noradjuha-Toolondo v West Wimmera at Horsham City Oval; B Grade, Homers v Colts, Dudley Cornell Park turf; C Grade, West Wimmera v Quantong at Horsham Community Oval on Dimboola Road. All games will be Saturday, Sunday and Saturday week if required. Semi-finals: A Grade, Noradjuha-Toolondo drew with Jung Tigers; B Grade, Colts drew with Blackheath-Dimboola, Homers drew with Laharum; C Grade, Quantong 8-167 d Colts 8-158, West Wimmera drew with Laharum.
