Angling potential A

BY DEAN LAWSON

continuation of cool and damp conditions across the Wimmera-Mallee might have a socio-economic silver lining in the form of future tourist-angler opportunities. While much of the regional community is looking for a respite from rain and eagerly awaiting an onset of warmer weather, aquatic life in waterways is revelling in the conditions. Catchment monitors have anecdotal evidence of rare spawning events of native yellowbelly in the Wim-

mera River downstream of Horsham weir and suspect similar occurrences elsewhere in the region. As a result they have launched an investigation to explore the legitimacy of the observations, which could ultimately help direct future waterway management. Fishing has and continues to play a major role in social lifestyle in the region and has a history of generating millions of tourism dollars from visiting anglers. Any boost in fish numbers in the Wimmera River catchment would represent a major socio-economic win for many communities.

Climatic and waterway circumstances such as water temperature and environmental factors mean primary native angler-target fish species such as Murray cod and yellowbelly, native to the Murray-Darling system, do not usually spawn in the Wimmera basin. This means Wimmera populations of these native target fish species, and in most cases exotic impoundment trout, are reliant on controlled release programs. The limitations do not apply to native eel-tailed catfish or exotic redfin and carp, the latter which can proliferate, dominate and overwhelm a waterway.

Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan said the damp and mild spring, subsequent periodic flows throughout the Wimmera River system and latest observation of the fish activity, might be providing significant insight into the environmental benefits of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline. He said an absence of heavy water harvesting from the system, courtesy of the pipeline, regular flows based on rain in the catchment and a natural lack of early evaporation had sparked high levels of aquatic activity. “We just might be finally seeing

some of the big environmental opportunities based on saving water through piping,” he said. “We will be getting right into collecting data to see if there is evidence of these fish breeding. If it is happening it would represent a very big tick for the river and region. We’re going to key in all the details from flows, water temperatures and so on and start looking for eggs and juvenile fish and try to get a clearer understanding of parameters. If it is happening, the next question is how do we encourage it to occur regularly in its own right?” Continued page 3

CAD REVITALISATION PROJECT - DROP IN SESSION

ROADSIDE WEED MAINTENANCE | Council is looking at options to re-spray some of our strategic firebreak roads throughout the municipality. We had sprayed these roads a few months ago but now with some re-growth due to recent rains and some areas of resistant ryegrass we will be following up with another spray. This is far more cost effective than re-mowing these roads. Our rural mowing team is getting through the program quite well, but they have come across some very wet areas in the north of the municipality that we may need to revisit. Our mowing team will be heading to the Laharum area next week and overall we are ahead of where we were on this program at the same time last year.

Ararat plans for ‘smart city’ ‘Angling

rarat district residents and businesses are set to benefit from free high-performance wi-fi telecommunication services after confirmation of $1.56-million in State Government backing for a project.

Contractors will soon start installing a ‘world-class’ network in the Western Highway city and neighbouring Lake Bolac to ‘improve connectivity and drive innovation’. Victorian Innovation and Digital Economy Minister and Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford joined Telstra regional manager Steve Tinker, Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong and Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison to announce the funding. The project involves the Ararat council and Telstra designing and providing an advanced public wi-fi network to activate ‘smart city’ and ‘Internet of Things’, IoT, capability. The fibre and cellular system, which

will place Ararat at the forefront of latest digital innovation, will centre on enhanced connectivity for key economic, tourism, recreation and cultural parts of the municipality. This includes Ararat’s retail precinct, Visitor Information Centre, Ararat Active Corridor and the Lake Bolac foreshore. Dr Harrison stressed the significance of the project and where it sat in regional development. “The substantial investment by the government and our partnership with Telstra has enabled us to design one of the most advanced public wi-fi networks in the world – here in Ararat,” he said. “We like being leaders in Ararat. We are going to be the mouse that roared – that small community that bats well above its average. “It’s because of our ability to get things done, that we will be working in partnership with Telstra and Cisco to deliver what I understand is the first

public trial of OpenRoaming technology in Australia. This means users will be able to seamlessly roam across cellular and wi-fi networks, providing fast, secure and dedicated free public wi-fi that will benefit businesses, residents and visitors. “Telstra’s trial of OpenRoaming and IoT technologies puts us at the forefront of ‘smart cities’ services, further amplifying the new network to deliver community benefit. “This includes track and monitor units to protect council assets; digital screens to ‘onboard’ visitors, connecting them with dining, retail, accommodation and events; and sensors to monitor everything from car parking, drains and flooding to capturing detailed data on peak periods of visitation. “The IoT partnership gives us the opportunity as a small rural community to invest in a whole range of things that we never thought possible.” Cr Armstrong said the project marked an important milestone in the

transformation of the Ararat municipality. “The council has set ambitious plans that focus on delivering value for money for ratepayers and creating new opportunities for Ararat,” she said. “The Ararat Jobs and Technology Precinct partnership with Federation University Australia, and the Grampians Gas Bioenergy Project are great examples of how we are combining our local initiative with new ideas to increase agricultural output and retain profits here. “High-speed public wi-fi takes us to the next level, transforming the way people connect, from showcasing the latest technology for businesses, through to engaging tourists and making it easier for people to access the information they need. “This underpins the council’s plans to be Australia’s rural innovation capital, making Ararat an even better place to live, work, invest and visit.”

for Ideas’

From page 1 Wimmera populations of fish such as yellowbelly are at the southernmost reaches of their natural range, one of the reasons the fish struggle to breed, but Mr Brennan speculated about the potential for the species to adapt. “What is also unusual is we have very mild spring weather at the moment and usually you would expect warmer weather to trigger this type of activity. We might be seeing something different and it will be fascinating to find some answers,” he said. Wimmera CMA has launched an ‘Angling for Ideas’ promotion to encourage people to forward ideas about what a Wimmera Native Fish Management Plan should include. Mr Brennan said the promotion was about getting as much community input as possible to ensure the Wimmera ‘provided a great experience for fishing while ensuring we have a diversity and range of fish for all of our waterways’. “We’re talking about lakes, rivers, wetlands, environmental-water destinations – looking at the region holistically,” he said. “How do we maximise opportunities now we have greater water security and have kicked some environmental goals? We’re now at the stage of working on what social dividends we can generate in getting the fishmanagement formula right. “Many of us in the area are already familiar with species such as yellowbelly, cod, silver perch and catfish. But there are plenty of other species of fish that could support the eco-system and in turn the larger species. “There is no reason why we can’t think big with this plan. We have documented some of the fastest growth rates of fish in Victoria. There is no reason why the Wimmera can’t become or resume as a number-one fishing destination.” Mr Brennan said people could provide submissions by emailing wcma@ wcma.vic.gov.au, calling 5382 1544 or visiting www.wcma.vic.gov.au. Submissions close on November 30.

Mayor: Award reflects opportunities BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham mayor Robyn Gulline believes this year’s Victorian Tidy Town award win presents a strong message about why the rural city can and must continue to grow and prosper.

Cr Gulline said it was results such as last week’s announcement of Keep Victoria Beautiful Sustainable Communities awards that put Horsham forward as a progressive and proud regional centre. She said it reflected the people of Horsham were constantly striving to improve through ‘sustainability, liveability and accessibility and community’ – key elements of a Horsham Rural City Council charter. “It just shows that we’re a progressive, thinking commu-

nity and always trying to improve ourselves,” Cr Gulline said. “I think we really do punch above our weight when it comes to this type of promotion and effort. “We have a wonderfully passionate committee that is always on the lookout for how we can make the city a better place in which to visit and invest.” Horsham won the overall title for the awards, which automatically qualified it as state representative in national awards, and also clinched a variety of other accolades. The city’s latest success has added to a long recognition list that dates back several decades. Horsham was the birthplace of the Don’t Rubbish Australia

campaign in the early 1970s that took a powerful anti-litter message to a national stage, providing critical momentum for the Keep Australia Beautiful movement. Cr Gulline said Horsham would have an opportunity to continue to promote itself and the pride the community took in the municipality when it hosted the state awards next year. “It will bring in visitors from across the state to our municipality and we will have an opportunity to showcase what we have and who we are,” she said. “While we have a passionate Tidy Towns committee, we also have a general population that is innovate and passionate and takes pride in its city. “You only need to drive

around town to see how much pride people take in their homes and businesses.” Cr Gulline said it was important to talk up the Tidy Towns success and to generally promote why the Wimmera centre represented such an attractive lifestyle option for people. “This win is a statement of endorsement and a snapshot of what makes Horsham an attractive place to live, grow, play, work and invest,” she said. “We have so many jobs that can’t be filled and this alone is a great reason for people seeking employment, or better, to set up or buy a business, to take advantage of the amazing opportunities we have on offer.” • Awards, page 21.

College leaders embrace new roles Horsham College’s new school captains are hoping COVID-19 lockdowns are a thing of the past as they look to advocate for the student body in 2022. Bart Turgoose and Yasinta Grosser have been elected school captains, with Amber Schellens and Hugo Chincarini named vice-captains. Bart said the coronavirus pandemic and associated restrictions had made it difficult for recent school leaders to achieve their goals. “It was hard on them trying to do what they wanted to do for the students while staying home and not able to get out of lockdown,” he said.

“It would have been rough on them the past couple of years.” Bart and Yasinta said they planned to be proactive, seeking feedback from students throughout the school. “We want to see what they want done,” Bart said. “Really, it’s not going to impact us, what we do, because we’re not going to be here the following year. So, let’s do something for the younger kids who are going to be here for the next four to five years.” Yasinta is looking forward to getting stuck into the role. “It’s a privilege because we get to represent the school and the students’ point

of view on the school, so that’s exciting,” she said. “Fingers crossed for no more lockdowns next year.” Bart said he and Yasinta enjoyed their first official outing, laying a wreath at a Horsham Remembrance Day service. “It was good to get back out in the public events world again and seeing some people,” he said. “I think it’s really good just to be able to step up as young leaders in the community and be able to represent our school for all those special events and be somewhat of a face for Horsham College for 2022.” – Sarah Matthews

OUTDOOR DINING PROJECT OUTDOOR DINING PROJECT Ararat’s retail precinct has been transformed into a more vibrant regional centre with the switching on of festoon lighting along Barkly Street. The new lights were installed as part of a streetscape renewal project designed to open-up outdoor dining, activities and events, which also included installing new decorative dividers outside cafes, restaurants and hotels, and extra outdoor power points. Ararat Rural City CEO Dr Tim Harrison said the new streetscape will create a more attractive environment for residents to enjoy and adds to the region’s livability. “As part of Council’s commitment to creating more active, vibrant spaces to increase visitation and nighttime trade, we consulted with our retail businesses on ways to activate outdoor dining and events” Dr Harrison said. “We received a number of bright ideas with an overwhelming response that improved lighting, access to power and alfresco dining dividers would enhance the entire streetscape. “It also means that staff at our cafes, hotels and restaurants no longer have to move dividers in and out each day, saving time, energy and the odd sore back.” AF Gasons have been worked closely with Council to help plan a detailed design for the divider screens to complement and enhance the look and feel of the CBD. “Several models were considered before settling on the final design of the divers, taking into consideration the Art Deco influence of a number of the iconic buildings along Barkly Street,” Dr Harrison continued. “The festoon lighting and the dividers also create a consistent look for the streetscape, bringing out Ararat’s unique heritage and character.” “This will open up opportunities for expanded hours of trading which will help increase the stay and spending from visitors.”

ARARAT COMMUNITY RELIEF CENTRE Monday - Friday 9am-5pm

5355 0980

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

STREETSCAPE HIGHLIGHTS UPGRADES INCLUDE: • Permanent decorative dividers installed at cafes and restaurants, designed and made locally • Uplighters installed at the two palm trees in front of Ararat Town Hall • Installation of festoon lighting along Barkly Street • Banner flags running from Shell Service Station to Baker’s Brew • Extra powerpoints to provide opportunity for future events and extended dining activity • Portable outdoor heaters on loan to businesses

PROJECT PARTNERS A number of local businesses from across the region partnered with Council to deliver the infrastructure, supplies and materials for the project. This included CHS Group (lighting and electrical), AF Gason (design and production of the street dividers), Harvey Norman Ararat (supply of outdoor heaters), Lyal Eales Ararat (supply of gas bottles), and Grampians Winemakers Incorporated (donation of wine barrels for outdoor entertaining). The $250,000.00 project was funded by the Victorian Government through the Outdoor Eating and Entertainment Package business grant program.

RESIDENTS URGED TO PREPARE PROPERTY Residents are being urged to prepare their properties for the upcoming bushfire season by planning a clean-up. Council has a legal obligation to reduce the risk of fire, meaning Council’s Fire Prevention Officers have started conducting property inspections across the municipality. These annual inspections are intended to promote public safety and assist residents in preparing for the fire season. Ararat Rural City Council CEO Dr Tim Harrison emphasised that planning and preparing for the fire season is a shared responsibility among Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic), Country Fire Authority, Regional Roads Victoria, Council, and residents. “Council strongly encourages residents to prepare now, starting with a clean-up around their property and ensuring they have an updated fire survival plan in place,” Dr Harrison said. “Residents can take practical steps now to prepare such as removing grass, leaves, and twigs around your home, shed and gutters.

• Keeping the grass on and around your property to a low and neat level (under 100mm in height) • Ensure trees are not overhanging on buildings • Collecting and removing leaves, small branches and other fine fuels from your property • Remove leaf litter from roofs and gutters • Talking with your family and making sure you have plans in place in the event of an emergency ARARAT RURAL CITY COUNCIL’S GREEN WASTE DISPOSAL PROGRAM Council will distribute a Fire Preparedness Brochure containing two free green waste disposal vouchers to properties across the municipality in late November. Each voucher offers residents the opportunity to dispose of up to 1 cubic metre of green waste at Council’s Transfer Stations.

“For those needing assistance with maintaining their property, Council has a list of fire prevention contractors that can help with the clean-up. “It’s everyone’s responsibility to remove any fire hazards on their land to protect people, property and the environment and we each have a role to play,” Dr Harrison concluded.

Vigilance is critical...

est Wimmera Health Service chief executive Ritchie Dodds’ response to a confirmed COVID-19 case in Nhill yesterday hit the nail on the head in assessing where we stood as a region at this stage of the pandemic.

Mr Dodds said ‘it was inevitable that COVID-19 would reach our communities so we must continue to be vigilant about implementing prevention strategies’. Alongside the statement ‘vaccination is the best form of defence’, it was a simple endorsement of a consistent direction. With the easing of Victorian restrictions in response to high vaccination rates and people travelling again, cases of this virus will and are surfacing in regional areas.

Performers return Stawell Performing Arts Company is taking advantage of Victoria’s eased pandemic restrictions to welcome people to an ‘open-mic’ night on Friday. Master of ceremony, Stawell Golf Club’s Greg Little, said the event at Stawell Golf Club would be the group’s first open-mic night for almost four months. He encouraged people starved of live performances to attend and ‘retake the stage’. He said the event would run in line with the Chief Health Officer’s requirements and more information was available by emailing spaci@outlook.com.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

We’ve seen this reflected in wastewater testing results as well as confirmed cases in our region in the past couple of weeks. With much of the adult population of the country now having a high level of protection through vaccination, it would be easy to start being flippant about the dangers of this disease. But while many of us might be feeling a bit more relaxed about circumstances, families of young children who have spent two years trying to cope with fears and anxiety about everything from health

and education to financial pressure, might feel short of having escaped the woods just yet. Remember – you can still get the disease and pass it on, albeit at a reduced rate – regardless of vaccination. Vaccination is all about preventing serious illness and saving lives. Families and their myriad of connections have presented a massive management challenge for authorities since the pandemic struck. While a lot of evidence suggests the virus has, overall, less impact on children’s health than adults, our youngest citizens remain vulnerable in many ways. Apart from many still being unable to gain the protection from vaccination and knowing they can readily spread infection to other perhaps more vulnerable people,

we’ve learnt the virus can still make some terribly sick. We also know it can also hurt them in other ways. We can only guess what the fallout will be from so much social isolation and the lack of opportunity for mental and physical opportunities, critical in stimulating growth, our children have already experienced. Perhaps the best incentive for communities maintaining strong preventative measures as we push forward is to further zero in on ensuring, to our best ability, to keep our schools free of this disease and open. We want children to be able to mix, mingle, compete and learn and that is always going to be easier if we can ultimately declare a win over this ‘bug’.

CupVID

Towns press for cup Small-town runners continue to accelerate to the finish line for western Victoria’s COVID Cup, a mock race between towns to see which can get its population to 99 percent double-vaccinated status. Vaccination rates based on postcodes as of Monday showed a broad mix of front-runners, with 13 towns from across the Wimmera-Mallee sitting above 95 percent. Of particular note in the top group was Stawell, ahead of its regional city rivals Ararat, 90, and Horsham, 85. The ‘race’ is designed to add levity to a critical vaccination step in managing COVID-19 by tapping into western Victorians’ passion for competition and inter-town rivalries. Double-vaccination rates as of November 15: Kaniva 95+, Birchip 95+, Miram 95+, Beulah 95+, Speed 95+, Watchem 95+, St Arnaud 95+, Charlton 95+, Rainbow 95+, Hopetoun 95+, Stawell 95+, Harrow 95+, Goroke 95+, Woomelang 95, Murtoa 95, Warracknabeal 95, Rupanyup 95, Nhill 95, Patchewollock 95, Minyip 90, Wycheproof 90, Donald 90, Dimboola 90, Great Western 90, Ararat 90, Marnoo 90, Natimuk 90, Lake Bolac 90, Apsley 85, Edenhope 85, Horsham 3400 85, Pomonal 80, Halls Gap 80, Lascelles 80, Horsham 3401 80, Elmhurst 80, Brim 80, Willaura 75, Serviceton 75, Glenorchy 75, Dadswells Bridge 75, Minimay 65, Tempy 55. *Figures are based on postcodes, which means they differ from Local Government Area numbers.

ADVENTURE AWAITS: Victorian Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio and Federal Tourism Minister Dan Tehan cut a ribbon with Parks Victoria chair John Pandazopoulos at Flat Rock to open Grampians Peaks Trail. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Peaks trail opens R

BY DEAN LAWSON

epresentatives from all tiers of government are confident millions of tourism dollars will flow into western Victoria as a result of a new 160-kilometre Grampians bushwalking and camping trail.

Vecteezy.com

They have also spoken about how the $33.2-million Grampians Peaks Trail, which takes visitors along the mountain-range ‘spine’ from north to south, will help people connect with environmental and cultural assets unique to the region. Federal, state and local government officials joined indigenous, tourism, Parks Victoria, community representatives and a media throng at an official opening of the trail last week. Victorian Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio and Federal Tourism Minister Dan Tehan cut a ribbon on the ancient incline of Flat Rock at Mount Zero in the northern Grampians to declare the track open. Parks Victoria chair John Pandazopoulos joined them for the occasion shortly after an indigenous ceremonial presentation from Pomonal’s Yaraan Couzensbundle and her three-year-old daughter Nyanibul. Mount Zero Picnic Ground, at the base of Flat Rock, provided the setting for Ms D’Ambrosio, Mr Tehan and other speakers to talk about the benefits and background of the trail and Grampians National Park. Eastern Marr Aboriginal Corporation’s Paul Kelly also spoke at length about the cultural connection between First Nations people and the landscape, also known as Gariwerd. Ms D’Ambrosio said the peaks trail represented a ‘world-class experience’. “That’s not just for Victorians and interstate visitors, but anyone coming to Australia. You can’t go past the Grampians Peaks Trail in terms of the best environmental experience that you could possibly hope for in this country,” she said. “There is something for everyone – from an easy couple of hours walk, right through for the more adventurous and serious hikers that want some challenging experiences. “Importantly, having accommodation and camping facilities on site means people can plan their walks, spend a number of days going north

to south across Grampians National Park and then getting out to those local towns, supporting businesses, spending money and supporting local jobs. Everyone is a winner and what better way to enjoy this wonderful landscape than to use these wonderful trails?” Mr Tehan, joined by Member for Mallee Anne Webster, said the trail was ‘fantastic’. “This is going to bring tourists from across the state, across Australia and around the world. This will put the Grampians on the map and it will be one of the great walks of the world. It will bring jobs and will be just wonderful for western Victoria,” he said. Dr Webster: “This trail will showcase the beautiful landscape of Grampians National Park while fostering growth in the region through trade and tourism.” Member for Lowan Emma Kealy added the trail and park overall meant much to the Wimmera community. “It’s not just about attracting international visitors, there will be so many locals who will be able to enjoy this brand new trail and additional opportunity to walk through and experience our fabulous national park,” she said. The trail covers country of Jardwadjali and Djab Wurrung people. Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation and Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation have worked with Parks Victoria to guide trail alignment and shape visitor information and stories. Yaraan Couzensbundle said the trail would help in sharing a connection-to-country message. “Cultural education and interpretation is vital to people coming to visit this sacred country,” she said. The State Government provided $23.2-million and the Federal Government $10-million through Horsham Rural City Council. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said she was proud Horsham had played a key role in the trail’s inception. “It opens up the full length of the Grampians to visitors and hopefully it will attract repeat visitors who get to enjoy all the tourism attractions and experiences our region has to offer,” she said.

Postcard picked up across state Health services across Victoria have adopted a Wimmera Health Care Group program designed to reach unvaccinated and vulnerable people. The health group developed the ‘Need help to get vaccinated?’ postcard plan to vaccinate people in their homes. Regional vaccine rollout co-ordinator Genevieve Lilley and her colleagues said they had been concerned about vulnerable people who had been unable to access COVID-19 vaccine clinics. “We knew there were a lot of people in the community who were isolated at home and they might be linked to various health services and community services, but might not be leaving the house too often,” she said. “These are the sort of people who caught COVID-19 in Sydney, because they were isolated and might have been cared for by family. “A lot of them actually passed away because they were aged and vulnerable and didn’t get out and get vaccinated.” Ms Lilley said while considering different strategies, they came up with a postcard as a simple referral tool. The postcard had a straightforward message of ‘Need help to get vaccinated?’. “The postcard was a simple but catchy referral tool that could reach those people and easily be distributed across all the community service networks,” Ms Lilley said. “Those networks could then use that to initiate a conversation about vaccination and to promote referral to us so that we could give the vaccines in their home. “Vaccinating at home is a preferred option for a lot of people who aren’t very mobile or prefer to stay home, and it’s been very successful.” Ms Lilley said Grampians Public Health Unit picked up on the idea, as did a couple of health services, including Ballarat. “We work closely with Grampians Public Health Unit and share strategies and the PHU at Ballarat picked up the postcard design,” she said. “They put their own details on them and now the idea has spread right across Victoria. “We’ve had quite a lot of referrals for those people as a direct result of the postcard strategy.”

Shine a light and ‘put an end to this’ BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera Committee Against Family Violence leaders have again called on the community to throw its support behind a virtual Shine the Light campaign.

Vice-chair Shane Podolski said the committee was hoping to return to an annual march down Firebrace Street, however given ongoing uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, had decided to stick with a virtual event. The committee is calling for community members to send in a photo of themselves holding a torch or candle to signify ‘shining a light’. They can also send in a short video stating their commitment to standing up against family violence. Mr Podolski said this year’s video would follow on from last year’s successful virtual campaign. “Last year we put together a video featuring a compilation of different community members, showing their support for the campaign and shining a light on community violence,” he said.

“The video had more than 8000 views. It was seen in America, England, so the bigger the network and the number of people who watch it, the more success we’ll have. We’re not just talking about Horsham, family violence is a worldwide issue. “We’re planning to make this year’s video even bigger and better and are calling on businesses, groups, schools, organisations and individuals to participate.” Mr Podolski said Wimmera family violence statistics, particularly in Horsham municipality, continued to be alarming. Safe Steps data released in October this year showed there was a 25.6 percent increase in family-violence incidents attended by police since 2020 and a 47.3 percent increase since 2017. The overall rate in the Western District, which includes Horsham, Hindmarsh, Northern Grampians, West Wimmera and Yarriambiack municipalities, was 29.1 percent higher than the overall Victorian rate and the fifth-highest rate in the state. Mr Podolski said incidences of vio-

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER lence against women and children had increased throughout the pandemic. “The doors have been closed on too many houses lately,” he said. He called on the community to take a stand against family violence. “You see something or hear something, call it out,” he said.

“Be an active bystander. You don’t actually have to go in there and knock on the door and get involved, just call the police, they’ll handle it.” Mr Podolski said it was up to everyone to lead by example, in the hope that one day we would no longer need family-violence campaigns.

FIVE-DAY forecast

“It’s about changing it in the younger generation so we can hopefully put an end to this,” he said. Wimmera Committee Against Family Violence will release the Shine the Light video on its Facebook page on November 25, to coincide with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Mr Podolski encouraged people to submit their photos or videos as soon as possible, either via the committee’s Facebook page or by emailing shane. podolski@gmail.com. ACE Radio Horsham, via radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM and The Weekly Advertiser, has again thrown its support behind the Shine the Light campaign. Radio content director Adam Roche encouraged people to submit photos and videos to be used in the compilation. “I’d love it if we no longer had to do these campaigns, but the statistics continually show the need for them,” he said. “To stop family violence, we need people to stand up, speak out and act.” sponsored by

Help to make a difference BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera people looking to deliver joy to young cancer patients this Christmas can support an annual Koala Kids toy drive at the weekend.

Horsham mother Sarah Lee has supported the charity the past few years after her son, Braxton, now 8, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2019. “Although we’ve had quite the journey, we’re truly thankful for the amazing support we have received along the way,” Ms Lee said. “This is our way of paying it forward and offering support to those who are unfortunately in a similar situation to ours. “It’s a sad reality for too many families, having to spend Christmas in hospital. I think given the year we’ve had, together we can really make a difference.” Ms Lee said people who donated to the toy drive were ‘helping provide happy moments to children during cancer treatment’. This year, in light of COVIDsafe measures, she is hosting a ‘drop-off’ session at Horsham Angling Club rooms on Saturday from 10am to 2pm. “I’ll have volunteers set up and we’ll come over to people’s vehicles to collect the donations,” Ms Lee said. “All the toys need to be brand new in their original packaging. They don’t need to be wrapped for Christmas because volunteers will go through them. We can’t accept food donations.

Hindmarsh Shire mayor Melanie Albrecht

Albrecht to lead

CHRISTMAS CHEER: Braxton Williams, 8, and his brother Jimmy Clugston, 2, promote a Koala Kids Christmas toy drive. Their mother, Sarah Lee, is organising a drop-off event on Saturday to collect donations to put smiles on the faces of cancer patients and their families. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “I’m also encouraging people to add in a couple of packets of novelty band-aids. They’ll get sent out to pathology clinics in the hospitals, and they’ll be used for kids when they’re having finger pricks or blood tests or having their ports deaccessed for chemotherapy.” Ms Lee said people could visit her Facebook page, Wild Sol, for a list of suggested items, including games, puzzles, Duplo, Lego, toys and books. “All the toys that will be collect-

ed at the weekend will go down to Koala Kids in Melbourne and will be distributed to the oncology wards at the Royal Children’s and Monash hospitals for Christmas,” she said. Koala Kids’ purpose is ‘to bring happy moments to children and young people during cancer treatment, their families and their health-care team’ through providing ‘small things that make a difference’. “I’m doing the toy drive again to

help create smiles for fellow oncology families through kindness and generosity,” Ms Lee said. She said Braxton was currently ‘really good’ and was attending school part-time. “He’s still having to go down to Melbourne every three months at this stage for MRIs and check-ups, but he’s going okay,” she said. People can message Ms Lee via the Wild Sol Facebook page or call her on 0447 806 738 for more information.

Melanie Albrecht will lead Hindmarsh Shire Council for the next 12 months. Councillors elected her mayor and Cr Brett Ireland as deputy mayor at a statutory meeting at Nhill. Cr Albrecht, who had been deputy mayor for the past 12 months, said she was honoured to fill the role and thanked outgoing mayor Ron Ismay. “Hindmarsh is a great place to live, work and visit, but our rural setting and small population numbers can present challenges,” she said. “In my new role as mayor, I am committed to being a passionate advocate for Hindmarsh in state and federal forums, seeking support to address the challenges our rural communities face. “Hindmarsh has been home for nearly all my life and a place I am proud to raise my family. My leadership will focus on the future of Hindmarsh to identify opportunities to strengthen our communities. “I want to continue to work closely with the community and advocate for positive change. As restrictions continue to ease, I look forward to Hindmarsh businesses thriving in the year ahead.” The council also appointed delegates to its advisory and community asset committees, as well as external organisations. Buloke Shire Council, meanwhile, has returned Cr Daryl Warren unopposed as mayor for a second 12-month term. Cr Alan Getley is deputy mayor.

Performances back at town hall Live musical performance returned to Horsham Town Hall in a big way at the weekend with vastly different back-to-back shows. On Saturday night, The RM Showcase, a rebranded Richard Morris memorial community concert, returned to the stage, following a Friday night visit from Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Both events had originally been scheduled as open-air events at Horsham Soundshell at Sawyer Park but moved to the town hall because of inclement weather. The entertainment initially came in the form of the symphony orchestra’s presentation of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, featuring virtuoso violin soloists. Horsham Arts Council then followed up the next night with a show including a variety of music and dance routines. The RM Showcase also included the announcement of Liberty Hobbs as the 2021 recipient of a Richard Morris Memorial Scholarship.

Vouchers to help prepare Ararat district residents will have another reason to clean up their backyard in preparation for the upcoming fire season with free green-waste vouchers from Ararat Rural City Council. As part of the council’s annual green-wastedisposal program, the council will distribute a fire preparedness brochure containing two free green-waste-disposal vouchers to properties across the municipality this month. Each voucher offers residents the opportunity to dispose of up to one cubic metre of green waste at council transfer stations in Ararat, Elmhurst, Lake Bolac, Moyston, Pomonal, Tatyoon, Streatham and Willaura at the start of fire-ready season on November 29. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said there had never been a better time to carry out a big clean-up of fallen debris before the fire season. “The council’s parks and gardens team has been working hard to clean up our streets by removing long grass, roadside debris, loose branches and other hazards caused by the recent storm to prepare for the fire season,” he said. “As we approach December, it’s a good time for you to start getting your property ready for any natural disasters that might impact our community down the track.” With the fire-danger period edging closer, residents are reminded to identify fire risks on their properties and have plans in place in case of an emergency. If people notice any fallen trees or debris on the roadside, they can report it on the council’s website or get in touch with its customer-service team to lodge a request. “We know how important it is to be prepared and we’re encouraging residents to do their bit and carry out a clean-up before fire season,” Dr Harrison said. “Simple things like pruning tree branches, cutting long grass, removing large shrubs and cleaning out gutters can make a huge difference to the safety of your home.” Green waste people take to a transfer station must be separate from other rubbish. Drop-offs exceeding the one cubic metre of green waste or any other items will be charged regular disposal rates. People seeking more information can call the council’s emergency management co-ordinator Joel Farrow on 5355 0283.

Music back at RSL

Horsham Country Music Association will host shows at Horsham RSL on December 2 and 3. A dinner and show will be on the Thursday, followed by a morning melodies performance the next day. Performing artists will be Don Costa from Robinvale and Venessa Warra, Wedderburn. Association chair Max Wright said it was terrific that ‘at long last’ shows could resume at Horsham RSL. “COVID-19 has meant we have only been able to have one show at the RSL this year. Tickets are now on sale at the venue,” he said.

Hope builds for big barefoot event O

BY DEAN LAWSON

rganisers of one Australia’s biggest barefoot-skiing attractions are gaining confidence they might be able to welcome a crowd of up to 1200 to their Dimboola event in February.

Peter Taylor Memorial Barefoot Water Ski Tournament and Night Jump spokesman Darren Bone said high vaccination rates against COVID-19 across the Wimmera and the easing of statewide restrictions were fuelling expectations of a big return. He said committee members and fans of the daredevil sporting event had been waiting more than two years to rekindle action on the Wimmera

River and confirmation of February 18 and 19 as a relaunch weekend was exciting. “We all have our fingers crossed that we can not only return, but be able to welcome a bumper crowd. It will be pending further easing of restrictions and directions at the time,” he said. Mr Bone said Dimboola Boat and Water Ski Club formally confirmed the event date and ticked off many other planning processes at a meeting earlier this month. “What’s great is the level and depth of competitors who have signed up to be part of it all,” he said. “We have world reigning junior jump record-holder TJ Russo returning, Ben Franks, the reigning title

holder from South Australia and number four in the world on the list, and Luke Van Den Huevel, a superstar of the sport who will amaze with the distance he gets off the jump. There’s also talk of Keenan Derry coming from Queensland.” The Peter Taylor Memorial weekend features a full program of barefoot-skiing events with competitors launching from ramps under lights at night the highlight of the weekend. An addition to the championships will be an invitation junior jump competition on the Friday night, featuring six of the best young competitors in Australia. “It’s a massive schedule. Everything will be starting early and running late

Skillinvest joins state jobs team Wimmera-Mallee residents looking for employment in the region can now access free advice and support from a team of employment mentors at employment and training organisation Skillinvest. Skillinvest is one of more than 75 Jobs Victoria Partners across the state, providing free support to people looking for work. It is part of the State Government’s $619-million Jobs Victoria program, which supports people looking for work and connects employers with the staff they need. Skillinvest employment programs manager Anita Peters said the organisation was proud to be part of a 600-strong statewide force of Jobs Victoria advocates, mentors and career counsellors working to ensure no Victorian searching for a job was left behind. “Our Jobs Victoria mentors at Skillinvest help people to become work-ready, find a job that suits them and support them in their role for the first six months,” she said. “We help people understand their career options and give them the tools and confidence they need to pursue them.

and it will end in a big fireworks display,” Mr Bone said. “And it’s all happening on the Wimmera River at Dimboola. We’ve been sitting on our backsides for two years and we’re now ready to go and there is significant anticipation.” Mr Bone said the event had generated about a $320,000 economic boost for Hindmarsh Shire and Dimboola across two days. “That’s a massive boost for a small town. The reality is this show is the biggest barefoot-skiing event in Australia,” he said. “If you have never seen an event like this or are not even interested in barefoot skiing, I can guarantee that when walking away from this event

you will have a smile from ear to ear. It’s a mind-blowing danger sport and you have to see it to believe it. “We have organised a big screen to sit on the opposite river bank to help with viewing opportunities. We’ll also have one of the fastest jetboats in Australia, preparing for Keith Diesel and Dirt Derby in March, coming across and doing a couple of passes and it goes like a cut snake.” Dimboola Rowing Club, Hindmarsh Shire Council, Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Barefoot Waterski Australia, Barefoot Victoria and Barefoot South Australia, as well as major sponsors including The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM, are all involved in the event.

Leadership group calls for applicants L

eadership Wimmera is calling for 2022 applications for its long-running programs.

The group, overseen by Wimmera Development Association, runs the community leadership development programs to provide learning opportunities for established or rising leaders across the Wimmera and southern Mallee. The programs are also designed to enhance, develop and promote leadership in the region generally. Leadership Wimmera started in 2002 and has supported the development of more than 600 emerging leaders. Program manager Jessica Grimble said as Leadership Wimmera celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2022, its programs entered a new era. “Leadership Wimmera programs are recognised for offering people an opportunity to learn more about themselves and recognise their potential – as leaders of workplaces and community groups, and as family members and friends,” she said. “Sometimes people refer to this as being pulled apart and put back together again; or opening doors to living their truth. Others say it helped them identify their superpower. “Changes in 2022 will take our programs to the next level as we promote opportunities for leadership in action – offering participants opportunities to learn and develop their skills relating to leadership of self, leadership of others, and regional leadership. “For participants of the Change Makers program, the regional leadership component is an educational opportunity to discuss – and possibly action – some of the opportunities

This will occur through awareness-building sessions and completion of a community project, working with an existing group or organisation to identify a need and bring this to life. “Integration between programs offers new and past participants the chance to take on as much learning – locally, and with local people – as they wish and promotes and supports

the lifelong learning of leaders in the Wimmera-southern Mallee.” The 2022 programs include: • A 10-month Change Makers program for existing leaders – those who own or run a business and-or who lead a team at work or in their community life – and who have demonstrated potential to commit to greater leadership involvement in their workplace or community.

• A three-month Emerging Leaders program designed for those wanting to build leadership skills to increase their influence within the workplace or community groups. • A three-month Leadership Master Class for past participants of Leadership Wimmera’s flagship programs – designed to refresh knowledge on previous material and advance their leadership skills for the benefit of

business and community leadership in the region. Graduates of Leadership Wimmera programs often increase their community involvement with the aid of their new and developed leadership skills, and the graduate network is a resource for other groups. Programs also provide mentoring and networking opportunities. Ms Grimble said people could call her on 0429 811 744 for more information. Application information packs are available and information sessions for supporters and prospective participants are scheduled in the coming weeks. Applications close on December 3 and course offers are due in January. Leadership Wimmera receives significant financial support from State Government, through Regional Development Victoria, and recognises the long-running support of regional philanthropic and other supporters and sponsors. Leadership Wimmera’s 2021 programs have come to a close for 29 participants of Business Leaders and Regional Skills programs. Participants’ end-of-year presentations reflected on the personal and professional impacts of the program – and their future aspirations for leadership. Leadership Wimmera chairman and 2016 Business Leaders program graduate Josh Koenig said graduates had adapted and overcome another challenging year. “Out of life’s challenges comes life’s opportunities and all our graduates seized opportunities and made the most of the year,” he said.

Spotlight now on national titles BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Tidy Towns Committee will turn its attention towards campaigning for a national accolade following success at state level.

Horsham is the Sustainable Community – Tidy Town of the year for 2021, winning Keep Victoria Beautiful’s tidiest town gong for the seventh time. Committee chairman David Eltringham said the group was thrilled to win the overall award during a virtual ceremony, beating eight other finalists including Dimboola. He said the committee met with Horsham Rural City Council staff yesterday to discuss how the pair could use the 2021 results to promote the rural city and capitalise on positive outcomes. Horsham won three category awards along with a high commendation, continuing the rural city’s successful run of Keep Victoria Beautiful campaigns. “Horsham has been a contributor to the Tidy Towns – now Sustainable Communities – program for many years, perhaps even 40 years,” Mr Eltringham said. “The awards showcase your community and the good things in it. When the awards started they were about litter, but it’s gone beyond that now.” The Sustainable Communities – Tidy Towns Awards recognise, celebrate and share grassroots projects and positive actions taken by community groups, educational institutions, businesses and councils in rural and regional areas in Victoria. Run by Keep Victoria Beautiful, the awards celebrate the critical role these

SUCCESS: From left, Wimmera Cancer Centre’s Carmel O’Kane and Horsham Tidy Towns Committee’s Gillian Vanderwaal, Gary Aitken and David Eltringham settle in to watch the virtual 2021 Sustainable Community – Tidy Towns Awards ceremony. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER projects and actions play in ‘fostering resilient, happy people and in building a strong sense of community’. “The town would remember the late Don Johns OAM’s great belief in the Tidy Towns program and its positive community outcomes,” Mr Eltringham said. “The Wimmera Cancer Centre is a great example of Mr Johns’ vision and it was great to see it win the community awards category.” The centre, founded by Wimmera-southern Mallee communities with state and federal government funding, opened in January 2019.

The submission honoured Mr Johns, a key campaigner, who coined the slogan ‘give where you live’ to help raise money for a building to deliver cancer, dialysis and hospice care services. Horsham Rural City Council got the nod in the energy awards category for its Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange roofing project. The roof provides significant energy and environmental benefits including solar energy panels, water conservation, animal welfare and environmental safety. Horsham’s Bart Turgoose is this year’s Young Legend, winning recog-

nition for his many community-based activities. Bart is held in high regard within many organisations in Horsham, including Horsham Agricultural Society and West Vic Business. The Horsham College student is a school-based trainee studying Certificate III in Business. “Bart is an incredible young man,” Mr Eltringham said. “I can only say if all young men took an example from Bart we would have a wonderful state and community.” Horsham Tidy Towns Committee was highly commended in the waste

category for its involvement in a project to upgrade Horsham Coles’ car park, using Polyrok soft plastic. Buloke and Northern Grampians Landcare Network was highly commended in the environment awards category, for its ‘Connecting our communities with the environment’ project. Several projects and organisations from throughout the Wimmera-southern Mallee were also category finalists. Mr Eltringham said he looked forward to helping communities capitalise on the Tidy Towns program. “The secret we’ve learnt over many years is you have to enter as many categories as possible,” he said. “This year we had three finalist awards from entries in nine out of 10 categories.” Mr Eltringham said Horsham would be in the spotlight again early next year ahead of the Keep Australia Beautiful awards. “We will put together another submission for the national awards and there will be further judging of our city, most likely in March,” he said. Horsham will host next year’s state awards in August or September. “Hopefully the program can go back to face-to-face next year,” Mr Eltringham said. “Over the past two years it has been very difficult, with virtual meetings and virtual judging. “Horsham will be the host for the Victorian awards next year and fingers crossed the national awards the year after.”

Headaches – they’re common, in fact they are so common that pharmaceutical companies would have you believe that they’re normal and they have a list of pills for a quick fix so you can soldier on with your day. So what’s the best thing to do? 1) S top and think why you have a headache, maybe you need to have a couple of glasses of water, maybe eat something, maybe you need to sit out of the glaring hot sun, maybe you’re tired? 2) H ave those 2 glasses of water and sit quietly and have a rest if you can. 3) See your chiropractor. Chiropractors are great at looking after headaches. A good chiropractor will listen and take a comprehensive history. They will check your spine to see what stiffness and fixations are attributing to the problem. It maybe a simple adjustment that helps you or it maybe more complicated. No matter what the issue a good chiropractor can assist and guide you to have the best possible outcome and work with other professionals to the benefit of your health. Interesting fact : children suffer headaches and migraines, however they often start off as tummy pains and as the child gets older become headaches and migraines. Chiropractors are good at identifying these issues.

Centre program in the running A

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

Wimmera program boosting the employability of culturally and linguistically diverse women is in the running for a major state award.

Centre for Participation’s Micro Business Program is among 25 finalists in eight categories in this year’s Victorian Learn Local Awards. Organisation award category winners, to be announced next month, will receive $10,000, individual winners $5000 and each finalist collects $1000. The Micro Business Program is one of three finalists in the Victorian Learn Local Pre-accredited Program Award for large providers category. Centre acting chief executive Robbie Millar said he experienced a mixture of excitement, joy and satisfaction upon learning the program was a finalist. “We feel so honoured as an organisation,” he said. “It is the first time we have been a finalist since 2012.” Centre for Participation won the Learn Local Award for Outstanding Koori Achievement in 2011 and 2012. Learn Local providers offer unique, community-based learning options, with a focus on learners’ individual needs. They are particularly suited to adult learners of all ages looking to develop their digital, literacy, numeracy and employability skills for study, work and life. The Micro Business Program trains students specifically to start their own craft or culinary enterprise, but also gives them general employability skills. The program, which started in June last year and featured 19 students from 15 different

ethnic communities, is tailored for women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Program facilitator Cecile Vence said she was grateful for the ‘overwhelming support’ of centre staff and management. “This also includes the support provided by organisations we co-ordinated with like Centre for Participation’s Laneway – Cafe without Borders, Wimmera Development Association and Warracknabeal Neighbourhood House,” she said. “Being a finalist means I’ve made a mark on myself and in the community. It is a great privilege. I was simply happy doing my work, helping the students achieve their goals. “However, if declared as a winner, this would mean a lot to me because it proves that in spite of all the challenges, we can still achieve great things. “This award will also prove that we can always make a positive difference in whatever way we can, wherever we may be.” Areas covered by the Micro Business Program – delivered online because of the coronavirus pandemic – included market research, marketing and branding, digital and social media, applying for an ABN and business insurance, food handling skills, customer service and barista skills. Of the 19 participants, two went on to further education and training while 12 secured full-time or part-time work in hospitality, food preparation or barista roles as well as other industries. One pursued an online business, while the remaining participants relocated. Centre for Participation will host a ‘Micro business recognition day’ today to celebrate the latest crop of graduates.

PRIDE: Alexis Bone, playing Mary Bennet, and Lucy Blackwood, Charlotte Lucas, in a joint Nhill College and Piggery Lane Players production of Pride and Prejudice.

Joint production to hit stage Performers are busy rehearsing for a joint production of Pride and Prejudice after COVID-19 restrictions halted production. Nhill College was originally going to present the play, adapted from the Jane Austen book by Jane Kendall, but after the school was forced to stop rehearsals drama group Piggery Lane Players ‘adopted’ the cast and production. Director Catherine Bates said Piggery Lane Players had to cancel its October show and ‘picked up’ the college show. “With COVID restrictions now easing in schools, Nhill College is back on board, making Pride and Prejudice a joint venture,” she said.

“The students in the cast have been working so hard and had to put up with so many difficulties, uncertainties and changes throughout the year with this production. “They are very much looking forward to putting it on stage in what looks like being one of the few live dramatic shows in the Wimmera this year. “It is a play, but we have added in a ballroom scene, which gives the opportunity for some live music and dance to be included. “Students had been rehearsing since February with original performance dates set for the end of July. “Of course, with the delay in

dates, we have lost a couple of VCE students due to exams and work commitments, but we have been able to open up spots for some other students who missed out to be involved in their places.” Lexi Farmers, as Elizabeth Bennet, Dia Hutchinson, as Mrs Bennet, and Brock Stephens, playing Mr Darcy, lead a cast of 19. Miss Bates said performances were on November 26 at 7.30pm, and November 27 at 2pm and 730pm at Nhill Memorial Community Centre.

Rail neglect ‘devastating’ R

ail-infrastructure shortcomings in moving large shipments of broadacre produce from western Victoria has again attracted the ire of regional parliamentarians.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has slammed the State Government, describing a speed-limit reduction on a major rail-freight line to Portland as ‘a failure to manage infrastructure projects’. “It’s claimed another casualty, with the speed limit on the Maroona-Portland rail-freight line now halved, from 80kmh to 40kmh,” she said. Ms Kealy said Australian Rail Track Corporation, which leased the 170-kilometre line from the State Government, had reduced the speed limit due to the unsatisfactory condition of the rail line. She said the circumstance was an example of Labor ‘destroying the rail freight industry’. “With an above average-grain harvest approaching, halving the speed limit for all trains on the Maroona-Portland rail-freight line could not have come at a worse time,” she said. “The decision by ARTC has added two hours to the journey time of all trains travelling to and from Portland, incurring extra crew costs for rail operators. “A third locomotive is now also required on most trains as the slow

speed means there is insufficient momentum to lift trains over a number of uphill gradients on the line. “These inefficiencies and cost increases will inevitably force more grain onto road transport, resulting in increased damage to our regional roads and exposing all road users to increased safety risks.” Ms Kealy said she was also aware of two potential new rail-freight developments that would be forced to consider A-double road-truck transport instead of rail freight because the 40kmh line speed would make rail uncompetitive. She said the developments included a new mineral-sands project near Horsham, anticipating transporting about one-million tonnes of material to Portland each year for export. “It is staggering that under the Andrews government, only seven percent of Victoria’s infrastructure budget is spent in regional Victoria,” Ms Kealy said. “Labor has no interest in regional Victoria and coupled with its inability to manage infrastructure projects, this is destroying our rail-freight industry and our road network. “I am calling on the government to provide the funding required to restore the 80kmh speed limit on the Maroona-Portland line to make it a competitive freight-transport option for regional businesses and industry.”

READY TO PERFORM: Ararat Dance Centre under13 neo students have prepared a new routine to showcase at the 10th annual concert.

Ararat showcase celebrates 10 years Excitement is building at Ararat Dance Centre as students and teachers prepare for the school’s 10th annual concert, which includes a gala performance celebrating a decade of dancing. Dancers will perform three shows in Ararat Town Hall, on Friday at 6.15pm, Saturday at 2pm and concluding with the special gala performance on Sunday, also at 2pm. Centre director Karly Harris said a decision to remain positive in light of changing COVID-19 restrictions had paid off. “Even though when we returned to the studio in October with the lifting of COVID restrictions there was no guarantee for events in performing arts, we decided to remain positive and work towards an end of year performance,” she said. “We have been extremely busy ever since preparing for our 10th concert and the students worked diligently to

learn their routines in anticipation of performing to an audience. “Everyone was very relieved and extremely pleased when we could confirm that we would be able to return to Ararat Town Hall to present our work in front of friends and families. “This really inspired and energised the kids further and they lifted to a new level with increased excitement.” Ms Harris said Ararat Dance Centre was proud to offer a broad curriculum across many dance genres and the students, from the youngest kinder dance students through to adults, would present a variety of ‘amazing’ routines in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, hiphop, neo, lyrical and musical theatre. “The concert is what everyone loves the most and it is important for us all to get back on stage and have fun after the disruptions of the past two years due to COVID,” she said. Ms Harris said celebrating a 10-year anniversary added to the excitement

of returning to the studio. “This celebration is not only a celebration of Ararat Dance Centre’s 10th year, but is also very special for the 20 students who have been with centre since its inception in 2012,” she said. “I believe having this many students remain with Ararat Dance Centre throughout shows not only a love of dance but also that the bonds and friendships formed and the fun we have is important. I congratulate these students in particular and thank them for putting their trust in me from the beginning.” The gala performance will involve current students performing some ‘much-loved’ routines from the first 10 years of Ararat Dance Centre. “We hope the gala will be an afternoon of memories and fun for everyone,” Ms Harris said. People can message Ms Harris via the Ararat Dance Centre Facebook page for tickets or more information.

Rethink yuletide FINANCE happiness focus

ust as the Grinch stole Christmas, excess spending can rob us all of yuletide happiness.

Seasonal credit-card splurges can create ballooning long-term debt, while unnecessary consumption inevitably leads to a blow-out in rubbish-bin waste. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia estimates $11-billion is spent on presents each year, including some 20-million unwanted gifts. At the same time, seasonal celebrations boost landfill rubbish by a massive 30 percent. So, if you don’t want to max out the ‘ho, ho, ho’ in Christmas this year, think of applying more ‘whoa, whoa, whoa’ to your spending and consumption ideas. Following are six simple tips Ebenezer Scrooge would be proud of – • Ninety percent of Australians claim to recycle something, sometimes. What better way to do this than to shop for presents in one of Australia’s 2500 opportunity shops? Forget the old days of chipped crockery and stained used clothing. Opportunity shops are full of trendy, mint-condition items and are the perfect place to find something slightly offbeat or unusual for your loved one. • Save on postage and reduce needless paper use by sending clever and original e-Christmas cards. Head online to create your seasonal messages to email to friends and family. Many websites provide free cards, while others offer designer animated versions. • Instead of giving a physical gift, give an experience such as tickets to a concert or a voucher to use at a favourite restaurant. Better still, why not gift something special of yourself by offering to cook a meal or provide free babysitting for a family member. Giving an experience rather than a physical gift also means you don’t need to waste precious paper by wrapping the present or

with Robert Goudie CFP GradDipFP Consortium Private Wealth

spend money on postage getting it to that special someone. • If you do give a physical present, think of some clever ways to wrap it, so you’re not adding to the 150,000 kilometres of wrapping paper Australians needlessly use each year – that’s enough paper to circle the equator four times. Wrap your gift in a re-usable patterned tea towel or scarf, or better still, invest in some brightly patterned boxes to hold your present that can be recycled from one Christmas to the next. • Stop for a moment and look around your home to see what you can re-use and turn into a gift. A great place to start is the garden. Many plants can be easily divided and, in doing so, will create new plants you can pot up in a re-usable pot to give away. • Take time to plan your meals this season and, wherever possible, cut down on buying heavily packaged or processed foods. Instead, buy fresh foods that can be eaten without much cooking, re-used as leftovers, or frozen for later consumption. It’s estimated that 90 percent of Australians discard some 25 percent of all the food they buy during December – that’s food that has been needlessly produced only to end up in Australia’s landfills. What really matters is remembering how blessed we are to be enjoying the festive season in whatever way we can and being with the people we care about most. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

were mini forums with Dr Rob Grenfell from the CSIRO who spoke about COVID-19 and Ballarat Health Services chief executive Dale Fraser, who spoke about a western Victorian health-group merger. Mr Wheaton reported the number of financial members

and attendance at meetings had been the highest in the association’s 21-year history. Naomi Zanker from Nhill is vice-chair, Maureen Williams, Horsham, secretary and Jean Wise, Warracknabeal, treasurer.

Remembrance day

REFLECTION: Remembrance Day services across the Wimmera provided an opportunity for people to acknowledge the sacrifice of people during war. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marks the moments the guns fell silent on the Western Front in Europe after the carnage of the First World War. Most services, coming after considerable uncertainty due to COVID-19 restrictions, were modest commemorations, providing an opportunity for individuals and organisations to collectively pay their respects or lay wreaths. Pictured at the Horsham service at Sawyer Park are, clockwise from above: Horsham College 2022 captains Bart Turgoose and Yasinta Grosser; Colin Hill; Holy Trinity Lutheran School captain Lilly Knoop; Member for Lowan Emma Kealy; and St Brigid’s College 2022 captains Colby McDonald and Lotus Martin, centre, and vicecaptains Andrew Taylor and Maggie Heinrich.

ARE YOU FIRE READY?

CFA declares fire danger period

ountry Fire Authority has confirmed an annual fire danger period across Hindmarsh and parts of Yarriambiack municipalities has started.

The seasonal bushfire outlook for Victoria, released on August 26, identified potential for increased grassfire conditions for the 2021-22 fire season. Much of Victoria has experienced average to above-average rain during winter and this is likely to result in continuous grass and crop fuels throughout most areas west and north of the Great Dividing Range. Above-normal pasture growth in the Wimmera and Mallee fire districts might see an increase in fire potential in late spring before harvest. District 17 assistant chief fire officer Neville Collins reminded Victorians that even an average fire season could still be a bad one. “Conditions through the last fire season were similar to what we’re expecting this year, and during those months we saw significant grass fires in the north and west of the state,” he said. “We’ve again had plenty of winter rain, with local farmers reporting very good crops across the district. “There is an expectation that harvesting of crops will commence in some parts of the district within the next week or two. “As the grass and bush rapidly dry out in the warmer weather, increased yield and potential fuel will mean the fire potential is heightened.

ZERO TOLERANCE: District 17 assistant chief fire officer Neville Collins reminds Victorians that even an average fire season could still be a bad one. “The additional rain we received in spring will produce more growth, which could very easily result in an even higher fuel load throughout the summer season if not properly managed. “Reducing fuel loads in these areas will ensure if a fire does break out, it has less chance of taking hold or spreading. “While CFA and our partner agencies Fire Rescue Victoria and Forest Fire Management Victoria are doing everything we can to prepare for the bushfire season, we look to the com-

munity to use common sense and take responsibility for preventing fires.” The fire danger period started on Monday for all of Hindmarsh Shire and Yarriambiack Shire north of the line described by the following: Dimboola – Minyip Road, Stawell – Warracknabeal Road, C Loats Road and Donald – Murtoa Road. A fire danger period for northern areas of Yarriambiack Shire came into effect at the start of November. Restrictions are also in place for a Buloke Shire northern area, with the rest of the shire to come under

restrictions on Monday. CFA will introduce further fire danger periods across Victoria in the coming weeks in accordance with regional conditions.

Plan ahead

Mr Collins said there was still an opportunity to clean up properties if that work had not already been done. He said people using fire to clean up around their properties should register their burn online at www.firepermits. vic.gov.au, or by calling ESTA on 1800 668 511. “More information about burn-off

restrictions specific to your area can be found by consulting your local council,” he said. “Once a fire danger period has been declared in a local government area, fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from CFA or a municipal fire prevention officer. “There are strict conditions attached to permits and the liability sits with the permit holder to ensure they always act safely. “Out-of-control burn-offs and unregistered burn-offs have already caused unnecessary call-outs to brigades. “You should check and monitor weather conditions and not burn off in windy conditions or if high winds are forecast – not only on the day of your burn but for the days afterwards.” Mr Collins said when fire danger periods were in effect, CFA had a zero-tolerance approach to any fires caused by negligent behaviour. “Expect any escaped or uncontrolled fire you start to be investigated by CFA and Victoria Police,” he said. Fire danger periods are based on regional conditions and take into account fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall. More information and restrictions are published online at www.cfa.vic. gov.au/warnings-restrictions/firedanger-period-restrictions. Victorians can find out ‘Can I or Can’t I?’ information at cfa.vic.gov.au/ warnings-restrictions/can or by calling VicEmergency Hotline on 1800 226 226.

Time to prepare your property and fire plan With above average rainfall predicted for spring and summer, and with it, unprecedented grass growth, Horsham Rural City Council residents are urged to prepare their properties and bushfire survival plans. In preparing their properties and during the fire danger period, residents are encouraged to: • P lan what to do in the event of a fire and know where to access information on high fire danger days • Download the VicEmergency app • Keep the grass short around your property • Remove, leaves, twigs and loose bark from around the home • Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees • Cut back overhanging tree branches within 10 metres of houses and keep gutters clear • Remove other material that can burn from around your home such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles

• B e prepared for power failures which could impact NBN connections and other telecommunication services • P ack an emergency kit of essentials such as important documents, first-aid, medications, blankets, water and a battery powered radio • R eview your home insurance • M ake a plan for pets and livestock on high fire danger days and in the event of an emergency

Council is also doing its bit to prepare for the fire season with the annual roadside slashing program and fire prevention property inspections starting soon, as well as preparing through our parks and open space maintenance program.

Be mindful of crop-fire potential F

armers celebrating the potential for bumper crops following good winter rain have a warning from the Country Fire Authority to take care when harvesting the welcome yields.

Seasonal outlook predictions of strong vegetation growth this spring due to average to above-average rain is coming to fruition and many farmers are eagerly looking forward to a successful harvesting season. The cropping season is likely to have started in the Mallee and will gradually shift south through Ouyen, then onto Warracknabeal and Wycheproof, the central Wimmera and ultimately the Western District. Assistant chief fire officer Neville Collins warned that as vegetation dried out, the fire risk would increase. “Harvest time can be very dangerous and each season unfortunately we see machinery and vehicles spark fires in different parts of the state,” he said. “CFA volunteer firefighters respond to more than 200 harvesting-related fires a year on average. “Not only do these fires put pressure on our volunteers, many of whom are farmers themselves, but it also puts farmers’ profits and safety at risk.” Mr Collins said fires caused by machinery and harvesting operations could be avoided if farmers and harvest contractors took care and followed correct practices. “The key to avoiding harvester fires is diligence,” he said.

“We know farmers will be working extremely hard this season to harvest their crops, but it is important that they consistently clean and maintain their machinery, as well as inspect it thoroughly before and during use. “Hot and dry conditions are a particular concern for CFA; if it’s a high fire-risk day, our advice is to postpone any work that was planned in the paddock. “In hot and dry conditions activities such as harvesting, grinding, welding, slashing or mowing can spark fires very easily and they can become dangerous quite quickly.” The CFA has reminded farmers to ensure they routinely maintained machinery such as headers, regularly inspected moving parts and bearings

and cleaned any material on hot engine components. “It should be part of everyone’s routine to check for straw or grass buildups in machinery, to maintain its spark arrestors, and to take regular breaks when operating machinery to ensure it doesn’t get too hot,” Mr Collins said. The CFA has also reiterated a need for farmers to have adequate fire-fighting resources available in paddocks where harvesting operations were underway. It has also advised against driving vehicles and motorbikes through dry grass because exhaust systems could heat up and ignite dry grass on hot days. “Farmers are usually CFA’s strongest advocates for managing fire risk

because they know the consequences of fires starting on their properties and the risk to both their crops and machinery, and those of their neighbours,” Mr Collins said. “Being fire safe on your farm should be part of any fire plan you have.” Crop and farm-machinery safety: • The most common cause of harvester fires is material collecting on hot engine parts such as the manifold, exhaust and turbocharger. • The key to avoiding harvester fires is diligence in clean-down and inspection. • Postpone paddock work during the highest fire-risk periods. On hot, dry days, exercise extreme caution before harvesting, grinding, welding, slashing or mowing.

• Check the fire danger rating against the grain harvesting operations guide before harvesting. • Check for total fire ban or severe weather warnings and current fire incidents and follow recommendations. • Avoid driving vehicles and motorbikes through dry grass or crop – the risk from the hot exhaust system is high. Driving vehicles with catalytic converters or diesel particulate filters through dry grass and crops is particularly hazardous. • Take regular breaks. • Make it part of your routine to check for straw or grass build-up and hot bearings. • Check machinery to ensure spark arrestors are maintained. • Prepare a communication plan that includes family, contractors and neighbours. • Prepare strategic breaks to stop fires entering or leaving your property. • Run regular maintenance checks on farm machinery. • Monitor machinery regularly during operations. • Monitor weather conditions throughout the day and stop operations if it becomes hot and dry. • Have the appropriate fire-fighting equipment in place. You are required by law to have a nine-litre water pressured extinguisher on hand.

Haystacks ongoing fire threat W

immera firefighters often respond to summer fires that have started from the ignition of burning haystacks.

Haystack fires have a range of causes, such as sparks from machinery and equipment, embers from nearby burn-offs, or bushfires and lightning strikes. Hay can also self-ignite through the build-up of excessive heat. This is spontaneous combustion, or spontaneous ignition, and is the leading cause of haystack fires in Victoria. Haystack fires can happen in any type of bale stored in a haystack – even hay stored as single bales can spontaneously ignite under some conditions. Haystack fires can spread quickly into the surrounding area and often result in thousands of dollars of damages. If a haystack spontaneously combusts, what makes it happen? If hay is too ‘green’, which means the internal plant moisture content is too high, or if some of the hay becomes damp before, during or after baling, a complex series of biological and chemical processes can cause the hay to heat. This is because the plant material is still alive and using respiration energy and micro-organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, can grow in the moist environment and in the process generate heat. If heating remains undetected and the stack is not pulled apart to allow heat and moisture to escape, such

processes can continue and internal bale temperatures will keep rising. When the temperature reaches about 70 degrees Celsius, the bale can then rapidly increase to the point of spontaneous ignition – about 180 degrees. Spontaneous ignition can occur within two weeks of baling and can continue to pose a threat more than three months afterwards. Regular monitoring for heating is a key to preventing haystack fires. Farmers can use a temperature probe or crowbar to assess heat to some degree, although this will not detect heat deeper in the stack. Other signs of heating include steam rising from haystacks; condensation or corrosion under hayshed roofing; mould growth in or on bales; unusual odours – burning, musty, pipe-tobacco or caramel; and slumping in sections of the haystack. Farmers can minimise the risk by ensuring hay is fully cured – dead and dry – and at a recommended moisture content level before baling. The recommended moisture content will vary depending on the type of crop and bale. The use of a correctly calibrated moisture meter to check hay moisture levels throughout the baling process is essential. Be sure to test plant nodes and heads inside leaf sheaths for hidden moisture, particularly if baling drought-affected cereal hay. It is important to remember that just one damp bale is enough to ignite a haystack, so ensure protection of all

bales from rain, leaking roofs and spouts and runoff. If some bales become damp, they should be stored separately and closely monitored. Haystacks should be limited in size and have enough airflow to allow heat and moisture to escape. It’s important for people to know the history and moisture content of the hay they buy. Hay should be stored away from possible sources of ignition such as roadsides, workshops and fuel and chemical-storage areas and away from vegetation that might produce embers if a fire does occur. Care is essential when using vehicles, machinery and equipment near

haystacks, especially on high fire-risk days. Hay should also be stored well away from powerlines. Country Fire Authority has also warned people that very hot hay can suddenly catch alight if it is pulled apart. If any part of the stack is near or above 70 degrees, or the smell or sight of smoke is evident, people should call triple zero, 000, immediately and ask for CFA help. Other directions are to not walk across hay that might be heating because charred bales inside the stack might suddenly collapse and result in entrapment, and the rush of air can result in a sudden flare-up.

Protection for volunteers Equipping every Country Fire Authority brigade and group vehicle with defibrillators will help protect Victoria’s volunteer firefighters while training and responding to emergencies. Donations have enabled the CFA to proceed with the project and install all defibrillators by mid-2022. A CFA and Brigades Donations Fund and CFA Public Fund allocation of $2.543-million is going towards buying more than 1130 defibrillators. CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan said it was important members were prepared for any emergency and having these important life-saving devices available on every CFA vehicle would improve the safety of both firefighters and people at incidents. St Arnaud volunteer firefighter and deputy group officer Craig Cheesman knows only too well the difference the important life-saving equipment can make. Three years ago, his heart stopped during a group training exercise in Gre Gre between Horsham and Bendigo. Thankfully, every brigade in CFA’s District 16 had been equipped with a defibrillator through a State Government Enhancing Volunteerism Grant, which allowed his fellow members to jump into action and restart his heart. “I wouldn’t be here today if there hadn’t been a defibrillator there, so to think that every CFA brigade and group vehicle will soon have one is just amazing,” he said. The quick action has allowed Mr Cheesman to make a full recovery and he remains an operational firefighter and deputy group officer. “Because they did such a good job, that’s what got us through. I was lucky,” he said.

Tips for rural communities C

ountry Fire Authority has provided a list of tips to help rural and farming communities across the region to minimise their fire risks.

The tips are – Fuel reduction: Keep fuel loads to a bare minimum around house blocks, sheds and other assets; create a heavily grazed area where stock can be moved on fire-risk days; maintain slashed or mown fuel breaks to a width of at least three metres. Burning off: Always register your burns by calling 1800 668 511 or emailing burnoffs@esta.vic.gov.au; never leave a burn-off unattended; always have resources on hand to contain the fire if necessary. Hay: Use a probe to test for heat and look out for warning signs such as steam, unusual smells or slumping; allow for airflow by not stacking hay right up against the roof of sheds; store hay in multiple locations to avoid large losses; protect hay from rain, leaking roofs and spouts and cover stacks with tarps or hay caps. Response and suppression: Check, service and recharge all knapsacks and extinguishers before the fire danger period; phone triple zero, 000 as soon as you detect a fire; it takes time to get a fire truck on site; ensure everyone knows how to use private fire-fighting equipment on your property; keep a fire extinguisher inside the house and a fire blanket handy in the kitchen. Machinery and harvesters: Check and clean machinery thoroughly before using

for the first time; equip harvesters and other large machinery with appropriate fire extinguishers and a shovel; think twice before harvesting, grinding, welding or slashing on hot, dry, windy days; take regular breaks to check for straw or grass build-up and overheating bearings. Access for emergency services: Ensure your property name and number are clearly visible from both directions at the property entrance; ensure a truck can turn around in access tracks near to the house, blocks, sheds and fences; clearly

mark all water supplies and ensure water tanks have CFA-compatible fittings. Around the home: Have one smoke alarm on each level of the house and in each bedroom where someone sleeps with the door closed; check your chimneys and flues before winter for birds’ nests, cracks, rust or damaged internal fire bricks; always use a fire screen in front of an open fire; replace damaged appliances such as heaters or power boards immediately. Be prepared to act quickly in an emer-

gency: Have essential items prepared and ready to go – medications, bottled water, first-aid kit, photos, valuables, a battery-powered radio, 100 percent woollen blankets and essentials for pets; scan important documents including current inventories of feed, stock and fencing onto a CD or memory stick and keep a copy stored off your property; keep important contact numbers – family, neighbours, vets, stock agents and insurance – in an easy-to-access place.

Maintain your fire equipment A Horsham fire-equipment sales and servicing business owner has used the term ‘when seconds count’ in assessing why people need to have confidence in the tools they have to fight fires. Dylan Simpson, a partner in Simpson Fire, said the business had been operating in the Wimmera for seven years, selling and servicing domestic, commercial and farming fire-fighting equipment. He said it was critically important to either have the most up-to-date products on hand or to ensure they had been maintained up to an appropriate standard. “When seconds count, you need to be in a position to tackle or respond to a fire and that’s the area we’ve been working since 2014,” he said. Simpson Fire offers free assessment of fire equipment for businesses and households and operates Monday to Friday across the Wimmera as needed. It broadly provides a service for anyone needing extinguishers and other similar fire-fighting equipment.

1. We acknowledged Remembrance Day last week, which reflects on the end of the First World War. Which side did Italy ultimately take in the conflict on May 23, 1915? 2. It might be a minimal error, but what is wrong with this statement? The great Australian cavalry charge of Beersheba in the Middle East during the First World War was the last of its kind in history? 3. True or false? Horses cannot breathe through their mouths, only their nostrils? 4. Is a black panther its own species or simply a genetic colour variation of other large panthera cats?

5. British singer-songwriter and one-time college lecturer Mark Freuder Knopfler, OBE, co-founded what former international rock band with his brother David in 1977? 6.

The Canary Islands off the northwest coast of Africa are named after what type of animal? 9. Many of us who have grown up playing tennis would have heard about stringing old racquets with ‘catgut’.

Answers: 1. The Allies of Great Britain and France. Italy was originally in a triple alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary, but remained neutral. It decided to go to war against its historical enemy Austria-Hungary via the secret Pact of London. 2. All of the statement is true except that the Australian Lighthorse was not cavalry, but instead mounted infantry and drew bayonets, not swords for the charge. 3. True. 4. They are melanistic or dark-pigment colour variants of either the leopard, panthera parus, or jaguar, panthera onca. They mainly occur in tropical areas. The melanism in the leopard is caused by a recessive allele or gene variant and in the jaguar a dominant allele. 5. Dire Straits. Many consider the 1978 ‘Sultans of Swing’ as Knopfler’s and Dire Straits’ signature song. 6. John Waters. 7. Bright orange. This helps in their identification after a crash. 8. Dogs.

Refresh Modest uptick in pricing for updated Mazda CX-3

azda will update its strongselling CX-3 light SUV for the Australian market with a refreshed look, additional equipment and a modest uptick in pricing, with the range now starting at $23,190 plus on-road costs, up $300 over the outgoing model.

lic – offered previously on the CX-8, taking the number of exterior colours offered to nine.

Australian CX-3 variants continue to feature Mazda’s 110kW-195Nm 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine and are available with the choice of sixspeed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions and front or all-wheel drive configuration, depending on the grade. Fuel consumption remains lean across the CX-3 line-up with frontwheel drive manual variants sipping 6.6 litres per 100km, six-speed auto models at 6.3L-100km, and i-Activ all-wheel drive models – available exclusively with Mazda’s six-speed

The MY22 CX-3 range remains otherwise unchanged from last year’s model, with the only obvious omission in the updated range being the deletion of a manual transmission in the high-grade Akari. Higher grade sTouring, Akari and Akari LE variants jump $700 in price, starting from $29,790, and receive gloss black painted lower body panels. The range is also joined by a new paint option – Platinum Quartz Metal-

automatic – at 6.7L-100km on the ADR combined cycle. The CX-3 range begins with the Neo Sport, which is equipped with 16-inch steel wheels, halogen headlights, body-coloured folding mirrors, six airbags, black cloth upholstery, 60:40 split-fold rear seats, an electric parking brake with auto-hold function, 8.0-inch infotainment screen, DAB+ digital radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry and push-button ignition, rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and smart city brake support with night-time pedestrian detection. In addition to those features, the CX-3 Maxx Sport, from $25,290, gains 16-inch alloy wheels, rain-sensing wipers and dusk-sensing headlights, a leather-wrapped steering

wheel and gearshift knob, climate control, proprietary satellite navigation, self-dimming rear-view mirror, blind-spot monitoring and rear crosstraffic alert. The Maxx Sport LE, from $27,940, adds unique 16-inch alloy wheels, gloss black mirrors and front grille, and combination Tan Grand Luxe suede-like and Pure White Maztex leatherette upholstery. For the higher grade CX-3 sTouring, from $29,790, we find 18-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors, LED for the DRLS, headlights and tail-lights, auto high-beam, combination black Maztex and cloth upholstery, advanced keyless entry, active driving display, driver attention alert, front parking sensors, traffic sign recognition and lane-departure warning.

The second-from-top Akari, from $36,890, adds a sunroof, 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, front seat heaters, leather upholstery, adaptive-cruise control with stop and go functionality, 360-degree camera and adaptive LED headlights. Finally, the top-shelf Akari LE adds bright-finished alloy wheels, dark russet Nappa leather upholstery with matching centre console and door armrests and pure white metallic air vent, door and dashboard garnishes. All Mazda passenger models continue to be offered with a five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty including roadside assistance. – Matt Brogan

LDV renews T60 dual-cab ute

DV has taken the covers off its refreshed T60 dual-cab ute revealing a bold new look and upmarket interior for the competitively priced model, now from $33,990 drive-away for ABN holders, or about $3000 more than the outgoing model.

CONTENDER: Competitive pricing, new looks and more equipment headline LDV’s refreshed T60 dual-cab ute, set to rival Ford’s Ranger and Toyota’s HiLux. IC’s D20-series small block ‘four’ and develops 160kW at 4000rpm and 500Nm from 1500rpm. The engine uses Bosch high-pressure common-rail injection technology to return an ADR combined cycle fuel economy figure of 9.2 litres per 100km when paired to a six-speed manual gearbox, or 9.3L-100km when matched to the optional ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission. LDV says the suspension of both the Pro and Luxe versions of its T60 MAX have been specially calibrated for Australian conditions. It is also equipped with an intelligent

real-time torque on demand system from BorgWarner to automatically adjust torque between the front and rear axles. The T60 MAX is further equipped with a two-speed transfer case and ‘impressive approach and departure angles’ to make it ‘an ideal companion for weekend warriors’. The new T60 MAX is distinguished by a larger grille and narrower headlights, muscular wheel arch flares and reprofiled alloy wheels, while the tailgate is stamped with the model nameplate.

With a 160kW-500Nm bi-turbo diesel engine, LDV says the T60 is now the most powerful four-cylinder ute in its class and is ready to take the battle to the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux, Australia’s first and second best-selling utes. LDV Australia general manager Dinesh Chinnappa said the Aussie ute market was mega competitive and no longer just about being a work vehicle. “Now, they double up as a lifestyle choice, allowing owners to enjoy the great outdoors with their family and friends and still have room for their camping gear, motorbikes, the ability to tow a trailer, and so on,” he said. “In this environment, power has become the critical battleground and the T60 MAX mixes it with the best of them,” he said. LDV has sold 5648 examples of the T60 and T60 MAX 4WD to the end of October, well behind the Ford Ranger, 38,291, and Toyota HiLux, 34,238. The T60 MAX is powered by SA-

The climate controls sit flush beneath the touchscreen, giving the centre stack a minimalist look. Leather, six-way adjustable powered seats are offered on Luxe variants. “Over the past decade, the fourwheel drive ute segment has grown substantially. It now represents around 18 percent of total vehicle sales, so it’s critical to have a truly competitive offering in this segment,” Mr Chinnappa said. “The new T60 MAX builds on an already strong platform to deliver high-end power and performance, peace-of-mind ownership and represents outstanding value for money. It’s the perfect offering for hard-working Australians.” All T60 MAX variants are equipped with six airbags, electronic brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, hill-descent control, LED DRLs, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, and fatigue reminder. The up-spec Luxe adds a 360-degree camera, lane departure warning and an on-demand rear differential lock. The T60 is backed by a five-year130,000km warranty and roadside assistance program. National distributors Ateco Automotive said the new model would be available from it 88 dealerships across Australia by next month. – Matt Brogan

ow quickly the percentage of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can rise is likely to determine how quickly communities can emerge from lockdowns and severe restrictions.

The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are therefore encouraging people across the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District to quickly assess if vaccination is right for them. We in turn urge people who are eligible, have weighed up or sought medical advice about individual risk factors and decided to get vaccinated to avoid delaying in booking at the nearest vaccination clinic. The Wimmera has historically been among the best regions in Victoria in embracing vaccination programs and we encourage everyone to help maintain this high bar as we push through the COVID-19 pandemic. As well as keeping as many of our people as safe as possible, lifting the vaccination percentage rates across the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District will strengthen a regional position as part of statewide management of the virus. We can all play our part in beating this scourge. Let’s put our collective shoulder to the wheel and do what we can to open up our communities.

Memorial Park Dr – Sitting on top of a rise looking out towards the setting sun is this Farming Zoned double block of vacant land. The property has vehicle access on 3 sides and is also well fenced on those 3 sides. Power and phone runs past the property and there is no sewerage in the town and water is via a town bore which would have to be connected. The blocks run towards the Memorial Park Drive and have a frontage of approx 50m and a depth to the Netherby-Baker road of approx 40m.

1 Callaway Ln – The front yard of this home is really beautiful. Set just off the main street this period style home features 3 double bedroomsmain with ensuite, lounge with laminate floor and split system, kitchen with a gas stove and walk in pantry, main bathroom is combined with the laundry and has a toilet, vanity, shower, trough and washing machine taps. Outside there is a nice deck across the back of the home, 3000 gal rain water tank and pump, garden shed, older storage shed and a double carport accessed off the side street. There is solar hot water making the home more energy efficient. The current owner has also upgraded the wiring.

4 Edith St – This home needs some TLC & a bit of renovating but would come up really well. Featuring 2 dbl bedrooms, sep lounge with an open fire place, kitchen with a gas stove, bathroom with vanity & shower which leads to a dual access toilet. Pine floor boards are the real feature of the home & once polished would look stunning. The amount of shedding is amazing, for a start you have the original single garage plus lean to, both enclosed, then you have another shed with a personal access door plus lean to, behind that is more storage with a wide access door, then you have the 40ft x 20ft 2 bay garage with a storage/workshop area & a 2 bay lean to.

Cockroaches

I seem to have seen more cockroaches (luckily only small ones) in my house in the last few months than I have in the previous nearly 30 years that we have lived here, so I could well relate to part of an article from a magazine passed down to me to flick through. So with thanks to Janice Ross, The People’s Friend, UK, I share this with you. “There are some days I see myself like the cockroach, earthbound and rather ugly with sin. Days when I have blown my good intentions, when I have messed up, when I feel disappointed. It is helpful to note that it the struggle of the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly (which she mentions earlier) which produces beauty. We have all witnessed this kind of beauty at times in people. Beauty that is born out of struggle and suffering has far more radiance about it than that which can be applied by a beautician. So today I will remind myself that I was born to fly like a butterfly. Jesus has provided the way for me (and you) to lift off into a different realm with him. I am in the process of being transformed to be more like him, slowly, but there is progress. God has promised that the good work he began in me will carry to conclusion. (And he can do the same for you!) There is hope!” There is hope for you too! Ask him, and trust in him, and you too can fly like a beautiful butterfly!

Jimmy delights A

BY JOSH MILLER

thrilling edition of the Donald Cup saw lightly raced gelding Portland Jimmy, $12, steal an inside run and outlast his rivals for a strong first-up win. In an unfamiliar role for the eight-year-old, he settled towards the rear of the field and was last of a bunching field as heads turned for home. Apprentice jockey Maddison Lloyd kept her cool, only navigating around the tiring outsider Buchan Hoaks – Graham Donaldson, $51 – before sprinting for home, staving off all challengers and recording a narrow victory. It was the fourth win from 13 Australian starts for the Patrick Payne-trained runner, which now boasts a first-up record of seven starts for four wins and a minor placing; how did we let it go around at $12? Payne himself is no stranger to Donald Cup success, riding back-to-back winners in 199293 aboard Tribe and All Toff. It was a wonderful feature event made even better by the almost-forgotten noise of cheering racegoers and punters – a welcome sound in what has been a quiet spring in the stands.

Yendall

Local knowledge goes a long way in the racing industry – Dean Yendall is mischievous proof of that. After walking the track before the Donald Cup meeting, the Wimmera hoop stopped at the winning post and changed the official track rating display from ‘Soft 5’ to ‘Good 4’. Officials were quick to dismiss Yendall’s assessment of the surface and returned the

‘Soft 5’ panel. Fast forward an hour and stewards announced an official track upgrade to a ‘Good 4’, retrospective to the first race. It’s hard to know if Yendall – who has ridden more winners at Donald than any other jockey – gained more joy from that announcement or partnering with $2.20 favourite Bring The Stars – Robbie Griffiths-Matthew de Kock – to win the first event. We’ll use our imagination. In a sentimental finale at Donald, racing stalwart Shane Wall picked up the button and let the field go for the last time, marking the end of his superb influence on the racing industry, spanning nearly half a century. Mr Wall has been the official starter for thousands of races in our region, dating back to the mid-1970s. He called time on a career that will remember him as one of the genuine nice guys of racing. He will also be remembered as one of the pioneers in the early days when local race clubs amalgamated and became ‘Wimmera Racing’ as we know it now. Mr Wall admits to copping a few whacks along the way, but racing in the region has never been stronger and for that he is owed a debt of gratitude. “If I can hang my hat on one achievement during my time in racing, it would be that,” Mr Wall said of his time as Wimmera Racing chairman. It would be naïve to think we have lost Mr Wall to racing altogether – the folks at Donald and District Racing Club are reported to be updating their wine list to sweeten the offer to keep him on the committee.

Girls cricket league hits off Wimmera Girls Cricket League will continue at Horsham’s Dudley Cornell Park and Coughlin Park in Horsham on Sunday. The competition got underway last weekend with entertaining cricket despite cold and rainy conditions at Donald. In all, 61 players are taking part in the competition, an increase of 15 percent from last year, with 20 competing for the first time. Diamonds were too strong for the Belles, showing large gains as a result of their dedication over the off-season, producing a classy display with ball in hand in the field as they limited the

Belles line-up to 78. Reece Parsons was the pick of the bowlers with 3-3 while Bridie Reid topscored for Belles with 12. In reply, Diamonds were led by Issy Boulton who played aggressively for 22. In an even team display, Diamonds finished 20 runs in front. Horsham Sixers lost the toss and were sent into bat against title favourites Stawell Strikers. Sophie Walsh, 23 not out, and Lucy Avery, 16, formed a strong partnership in the middle order to lead the Horsham side to 84. In reply, the Strikers’ top three batters showed their class with Ayva Mitchell, 26, Lilly Read-

ing, 24, and Chloe Moloney, 20, all unbeaten, putting the result beyond doubt as Strikers recorded a commanding win. Two-time defending champions Wimmera Roos claimed victory over Horsham Hurricanes. The Roos showed their depth and talent with the ball, with Maya Schorback, Katie Griffiths, Lilly Schorback and Ava Clark all claiming two wickets. The Hurricanes showed promise with new recruit Adele Weidemann top-scoring with 19. The Roos were too strong in the end. – Tony Caccaviello

Trio honoured for service H

Junior player of the week

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Lawn Tennis Club leaders surprised three stalwarts with special awards following an afternoon of tennis on Saturday.

Club president Hailey Yorke presented life memberships to Maree Thompson, Mick McGennisken and Andrew Dorman, honouring the trio for service to the organisation. Mr McGennisken said he was not expecting the accolade. “I deem it quite an honour, to be honest,” he said. “It’s been a long road, my tennis career. It basically started as a senior here and it’s going to finish here. “I played my first two or three games in ’79-’80, then I had a year off and I think I’ve played ever since, bar four years.” Mrs Thompson is a long-time player and the club’s junior co-ordinator. “I love to see kids out playing sport and I like to see it run well,” she said. “I just love being involved, really.” Mrs Thompson said she was shocked to become a life member. “I had no idea,” she said. “It’s a lovely honour and it’s a great club to be involved in.” Mr Dorman was also thrilled to be honoured. “I haven’t been here as long as Mick and Maree, but I’m very, very touched and thankful,” he said.

THRILLED: Horsham Lawn Tennis Club players, from left, Mick McGennisken, Andrew Dorman and Maree Thompson, are now life members of the club.

Saints, Kalkee undefeated R

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

BIG DAY: Ross Janetzki plays a shot for Horsham Lawn Gillespie against club-mates from Horsham Lawn Thompson. It was a big day on the city’s lawn courts, with the club’s remaining senior grades also contesting matches, providing a great atmosphere. Players capped off the day with a barbecue and the presentation of three club lifememberships. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

ound two of the 2021-22 Central Wimmera Tennis Association pennant competition served up several close results as players navigated wet conditions.

Despite the stop-start nature due to rain throughout the afternoon, all teams managed to complete their matches. Drung South Purple, one of two Drung teams this season, took it up to reigning premier St Michaels as it claimed five of the 12 sets on offer. The Saints were victorious in the end, winning 7-78 to 5-63, with Chris Ellis the only Saint to enjoy three triumphs for the day. Yolly Molineaux achieved the same feat for Drung, including teaming up with Kate-Lyn Perkin for an 8-5 win over Saints star Jess McDonald and team-mate Marli Pymer. McDonald was again a cut above in singles, defeating Perkin 8-1. In the men’s competition, the opening rubber was a thriller, with Saints Ian Nitschke and Nick Robertson just falling short of Dylan Emmerson and Aaron Jennings, 7-8. In their singles encounters, Robertson overcame Jennings 8-6, while Emmerson defeated Nitschke 8-2. Round three also offers up some intriguing contests, with St Michaels to take on Horsham Lawn at Lawn and Drung South Purple to travel to Kalkee.

The Kees quickly asserted their dominance over Drung South Orange last week, winning the first three rubbers 8-1, 8-3, 8-0. Andrea Cameron got Orange on the board with an 8-6 singles victory over Emily Polack. The Drung team’s only other wins for the afternoon also came in singles, with Lachlan King defeating Steve Schultz and youngster Logan Casey overcoming veteran Jeff Friberg, both 8-6. Drung South Orange will look to claim its first points for the season

against Central Park on Saturday. Central Park, although featuring a strengthened line-up this year, was outgunned by Horsham Lawn in round two. Parkers newcomers Lance Dugan and former Telangatuk East player Matt Jones scored a narrow first-up win over Stuart McRae and Graeme Wood, 8-7. Jones and Wood enjoyed a competitive singles encounter, with Wood triumphant 8-6, however Dugan showcased the strength of his game against McRae, winning 8-0.

Dugan’s team-mate Rebecca Clough also scored a singles rubber, beating Chrissie Holmes 8-4. With Central Park going down to St Michaels by only two sets in round one, it paves the way for an interesting showdown between the Saints and Lawn this week. Both the Saints and Kalkee remain undefeated after two rounds. Results: St Michaels 7-78 d Drung South Purple 5-63, Kalkee 9-90 d Drung South Orange 3-50, Horsham Lawn 9-83 d Central Park 3-59.

Grampians Field and Game back Andrew Tink shot 92-100 to win Grampians Field and Game’s high-gun award after competitors returned to the sport following a lengthy break due to COVID-19. The event at Wal Wal attracted 81 shooters for the 100target event. Field and game is a simulated hunting clay-target shooting sport open to anyone from the age of 12.

Pacesetters prepare to lock horns T

he start of what looms as a season-long cricket rivalry will get underway at Horsham City Oval on Saturday when Jung Tigers and Noradjuha-Toolondo lock horns.

WHOOSH! Jung Tigers’ speedster Joel Pymer sends down a delivery during Horsham Cricket Association action on Saturday. Pymer broke the back of a West Wimmera top order to set his team up for victory.

Both teams are shaping as pacesetters in Horsham association A Grade competition and will be keen on establishing early platforms in a push towards a Christmas break. With a narrow field of five competing in Horsham cricket’s flagship competition, teams are sure to build considerable understanding of each other throughout the season. It is sure to intensify a week-toweek challenge for teams to exploit strengths and weaknesses. The Tigers are two wins from two games so far this season and the Bullants broke the ice with their first-up win last weekend. Both sides appear to have plenty of weapons, with both bat and ball, at their disposal. The Tigers unleashed left-arm quick Joel Pymer at West Wimmera last week, who combined with his on-

the-spot brother Lochie to cripple the Warriors early in the contest at Horsham City Oval. They shared six wickets between them and had it not been for a valiant effort from Tim Braendler, 37, and a willing tail, the Warriors would have been defending considerably less than the 102 they eventually made. The Tigers then cruised to victory, Brett Jensz shining with a 53 in a 71 first-innings stand with Chris Hauselberger, 27, who then enjoyed an unbeaten stand with Grant Connelly, 20. The addition of Hauselberger and Connelly has strengthened the Tigers’ batting list considerably from previous years. The Bullants, meanwhile, showed off their own weaponry with all-round quick Tony Caccaviello paving the way for victory over Rupanyup-Minyip at Minyip. Caccaviello snared 4-23 and Anthony Cutter 3-19 as the visitors restricted the Blue Panthers to 124 in almost 40 overs. Justtin Combe, 53, and Shane Oakley, 55, both unbeaten, then guaranteed a Bullants victory as Noradjuha-Toolondo clipped 1-130 in response. Connor Weidemann top-scored with 31 and a handful of others made it into double figures, but the Blue Panthers paid the price for losing cheap early wickets at the start of the game. West Wimmera and Rupanyup-Minyip drew in the season opener and while the Blue Panthers sit out with a bye this weekend, the Warriors shape up against young Homers, also searching for a breakthrough win. This week: Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants v Jung Tigers at Horsham City Oval, Homers v West Wimmera, Sunnyside oval, Rupanyup-Minyip, bye. Results: Jung Tigers 1-104 (B. Jensz 53, C.

Combine and Hawks on fire I

BY ONE SHORT

n weather more akin to the football season, Grampians Cricket Association teams were fortunate to complete rounds three and four of the Henry Gunstone T20 Cup. It is becoming increasingly apparent the likely finalists for this shortened form of the game will be Buangor-Tatyoon and Swifts-Great Western. After rounds five and six on Saturday, the final will take place at Central Park, Stawell, on Sunday, starting at 1pm. Presentations will follow, hopefully including association legend Henry Gunstone himself. In Saturday’s round-three games, Chalambar defeated Halls Gap, Youth Club secured points against Pomonal, and in a game moved onto the hard wicket at Great Western, Buangor-Tatyoon defeated Swifts-Great Western by 44 runs. Batting first, Buangor-Tatyoon recorded a healthy 5-151 and then its bowlers were able to restrict the Combine to 3-107 to ensure they will start favourite in the final.

Round-four results again went Buangor-Tatyoon’s way, with the Hawks beating Halls Gap and Swifts-Great Western accounting for Chalambar, with the standout player Marc Collins with 4-8 off his four overs. Last weekend’s results leave the ladder standing with the Combine and Hawks clear leaders with nine points each and Halls Gap the only other team with a realistic chance of a finals appearance on six.

Golfers compete for Bates trophy Golfers will head to Edenhope on Sunday for the 14th Jimmy Bates Memorial Golf Tournament. Jimmy Bates was an advocate for junior and disabled golfers in the Wimmera for many years. His son and top Wimmera golfer Michael Bates said the fun golf day would attract participants from across the region. “Jimmy was involved in junior golf all his life and helped many junior golfers,” he said.

“Some of those junior golfers are now grown men and will travel back for the tournament.” Mr Bates said the first tournament in 2006, organised by Hoss Kemp, was a way of saying thank you to Jimmy for his contribution to golf. “It is well known that Jimmy booked himself out of hospital to attend the first tournament and died on the same day,” he said. “It’s been a memorial tournament ever since.

“Hoss ran the event for about 10 years and it is now organised by the Wimmera District Golf Association.” Teams of four can register for the ambrose tournament by emailing jo. donnelly@me.com. • Horsham Golf Club will host the Western District Golf Association men’s and women’s championships on November 28. A junior boys and girls tournament will run in conjunction with the event.

hree Natimuk United netballers have made Horsham District Football Netball League history after winning recognition for 300-game milestones.

League chairman Fred Mellington surprised Jo Taylor and sisters Cheryl Sudholz and Michelle Trigg with life memberships at the club’s end-of-season presentation day on Sunday. “That’s the world we live in now, we are a football-netball league, not just a football league, and it’s great that we can recognise our A Grade players in similar terms as we do our senior footballers,” Mr Mellington said. Taylor, Sudholz and Trigg are the first netballers to achieve life-membership status since Horsham District football and netball boards combined to form Horsham District Football Netball League in 2014. Mr Mellington said netballers had to play 300 A Grade games to qualify for the accolade. “The clubs know who these people are and once they tell us, we will recognise people as it happens,” he said. “The fact we can get three players from the same club at the same time makes it pretty special for these ladies.” Taylor said it was wonderful to achieve the milestone alongside her friends and team-mates. “I’ve played with them for many, many

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER years – I won’t say how long – but I think it’s really special for us three to be the first ones,” she said. “It’s a shock and I’m very excited to be sharing it with these wonderful people.” Sudholz also acknowledged how proud she was to share the honour. “We’ve been together for a very long time in the A Grade and it’s a special moment that we can be included in the league as a life member,” she said. Trigg said the trio had also represented the league along the way. “Playing with these two is just fantastic

and I couldn’t think of a better way to end my A Grade career as receiving this award,” she said. All three announced their intentions to step down from A Grade in 2022, ‘giving their bodies a rest’ following 20 years in the premier grade. The decorated netballers were also part of club history in 2015, winning Natimuk United’s first A Grade premiership. The Rams also won A Grade flags in 2017 and 2018 and were runners-up in 2019.

Tournament set A

BY DAVID BERRY

strong showing by all Volleyball Horsham teams at this weekend’s annual tournament will set them up perfectly for country championships in Horsham in June next year.

Thirty teams have entered this year’s 26th edition of the tournament, with a nice blend of country and metropolitan representation across the five divisions. The flagship championship men’s division has drawn six very strong teams, spearheaded by seven-time champion Mazenod, which will bring an extended squad for this year’s event. Captain Nick Boesten has drawn on his Monash team-mates to fill an already strong team including veteran Matt Campbell, returning to Horsham for the first time in more than 15 years. Its toughest opposition will come from Melbourne University Renegades. The premier-division favorites from this year before the season was called off, Renegades will also send a strong squad to Horsham for the event, spearheaded by the power-hitting duo of Liam Van Gemst and James Walsh. The Horsham team in this division is sweating on the fitness of key hitter Chris Radford, who is recovering from a hamstring injury. The team will welcome former Phantoms middle blocker Adrian Fox, the ever reliable Dimitrios Vettos and high leaping Harry Stemp, playing their first Horsham tournament in more than 10 years. Other teams in this division include defending champions Hickman’s Warriors from Bendigo, Sunraysia and for the first time, BBJSC Pakenham. From a country championship perspective, all eyes will be on the championship women’s divisio, with the top four teams expected to front up in June drawn to play each other. Horsham, Sunraysia, Bendigo and Warrnambool will join defending champions Renegades in a division which any of the five teams could win. The key will be which team has made the most of its four week build-up to the event. In men’s division one, 10 teams have entered and have been drawn into two pools of five. Horsham will send a new-look side into battle, with setter Nathan Berry having two new middle blockers to work with in youngsters Caleb Smith and Clay Heard. The two boys have impressed

all season with their domestic teams and are excited to be given the opportunity to pit their skills against some quality opposition. The opponents in this division are strong, with teams from Latrobe and Victoria University the clear challenges. The team with most interest in this division is the Murtoa College alumni. They will be well led by Jayden McQueen, Will Saligari, Jack Exell and Jordy Weidemann and will see the likes of Aaron Evans, Tom Petering, Josh Boak, Lewis Thomas and Fergus Schier pull on the old Murtoa tops for the first time in two years. Horsham is well represented in women’s division one and two, with teams expected to figure deep into the event. Matches start on both days at 8am at Horsham Basketball Stadium, St Brigid’s College Stadium and the new-look Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College stadium. Finals will be from 2.30pm on Sunday at the basketball stadium and St Brigid’s stadium.

‘Harry’s Match’

The tournament hits off on Friday night with the third edition of ‘Harry’s Match’ to be played at the basketball stadium from 8pm. In memory of the late Harry Denson, two teams of Harry’s mates will break out their old Horsham College gold and navy tops and suit up against each other to raise money for Beyond Blue and awareness of mental health. Playing in this match for the first time will be some of Harry’s closest friends including Dimitrios Vettos, Andrew Trigg and Josh Young. The three are excited to finally be able to play after missing the first two editions of the match. The Wimmera community has an invitation to attend the event and donate to Beyond Blue and watch what promises to be a fun way to recognise a serious issue in society. There will be players coming from across Victoria for the match, and while their skills may be rather scratchy, their collective endeavours will ensure the match is played for all the right reasons. Volleyball Horsham is humbled by the support given to the tournament, especially given that all teams are coming off a preparation of only four weeks. Their participation clearly underlines just how much playing the game they love is to each and every player, and how much they have missed being on the court.

BOOST: Horsham Golf Club professional Cameron Howell, left, is pictured with Royal Melbourne Golf Club superintendent Richard Forsyth and a fairway mower. Royal Melbourne gave the machine to Horsham as part of its ‘supporting the regions’ program.

Royal Melbourne gift to Horsham Horsham Golf Club has greater flexibility in maintaining its course after taking possession of a new Toro fairway mower. Royal Melbourne Golf Club has donated the second-hand machine to the Horsham club through connections with Horsham’s Ken Breuer. Horsham club president Gerard Bardell, who joined club professional Cameron Howell in collecting the mower from Melbourne, described Wednesday, November 17, 2021

the gift as ‘an incredibly generous and wonderful gesture’. “The golfing fraternity is fairly tight and a lot of people are aware of the challenge we have faced at the club and are wanting to do what they can to help. We couldn’t be more grateful,” he said. “We already have one at the club, but this mower takes the pressure off and allows us to get fairways mown in a timelier manner.”
