Restaurateur’s wish A

BY DEAN LAWSON

Wimmera cultural convention and tourism centre is high on a wish list of a family looking for a buyer for a historic Horsham restaurant and gardens.

Leon Toy, 71, who has spent almost five decades operating Toy’s Garden Restaurant, including 33 years in Stawell Road, said he believed the property’s expansive building and established gardens represented a rare opportunity for Horsham to establish a major community development project. He said his ideal scenario in selling the 2.8-hectare property as part of a transition into retirement would be to pass it on to the Horsham com-

munity to develop as a cultural asset. “That would be the best outcome for me. What I can see, apart from all the history, is a wonderful opportunity to create something quite special for Horsham,” he said. “We’re going to have to sell it regardless and it will present many different opportunities for a new owner or owners. But I would love if it could ultimately become a centre that celebrated and promoted our growing multicultural society and tourism and information industry.” Mr Toy has spent a lifetime working on his enterprise, opening the business in Firebrace Street in 1974 before shifting to Stawell Road and passionately expanding the property to reflect his cultural background.

Victoria home, said he could imagine how a multicultural convention centre might work. “People from all parts of the world have played a role in what Horsham is today,” he said. “Apart from that, Horsham needs things like this to attract and support people.” Apart from First Nations people who gathered on nearby Wimmera River for thousands of years and the European colonists who followed, Green Park has a settlement history involving Chinese market gardeners. Families of Italian migrants have also long been historically prominent in the area, recognised by street names. Migrant communities in the district, involving people from around

Buying the property overall, which includes an architecturally designed Chinese garden and one of the largest dining and convention rooms in private hands in Horsham, would require a multi-million-dollar investment. The Green Park property is at 44 to 54 Stawell Road on the western side of the road, which is also the Western Highway leading into Horsham from Melbourne. It is close to some of the fastest developing residential land in Horsham.

Attraction

Mr Toy, drawing on his own experiences as a child immigrant and reflecting on the diverse mix of people who had called, were calling or planned to call Horsham, the Wimmera and

the world, including refugees, have more recently continued to expand this diversity. Mr Toy and his family are the descendants of migrants who arrived in the country seeking their fortunes during the Victorian gold rush. “I think the timing is probably right – not only for a major development supporting this history and growth – but also for us personally in moving on to pursue our next adventure,” Mr Toy said. “We could sub-divide and sell it off piece by piece – but it would be ideal for one buyer to acquire the parcel of land because the opportunity to use the site in its entirety is a once-in-alifetime opportunity.” Continued page 3

New visitor services location for tourist rush Horsham Town Hall opens its doors to host the Visitor Information Centre A new era of visitor servicing is underway as Horsham Town Hall becomes the new home for tourist information and regional promotion.

Executive Officer Sunil Bhalla said the increase in people from Melbourne travelling to regional Victoria provided a valuable boost.

Councillors in May endorsed a plan to move the Horsham and Grampians

“With the easing of restrictions in Melbourne, many people are travelling

Many regional Councils, including Ararat Rural City Council, have moved to provide visitor services at existing high-visitation spaces such as libraries, galleries and museums. Mr Bhalla said concerns about the availability of parking for caravans have been considered. Extra signs have been installed to direct travellers to the new location whilst changes to all existing signage has also been completed. “Caravan parking will be available opposite the entrance to the Horsham Town Hall in Wilson Street. There is also caravan parking available on Wilson Street near the skate park and on Darlot, McLachlan and Hamilton Streets,” he said. “We will continue to monitor visitor

parking over the coming months as part of the current review of Council’s Car Parking Strategy.” Mr Bhalla said a COVID-safe environment would be provided. “Leading up to the summer holidays, staff will survey visitors about their travel plans and use the information gathered to determine how best to provide this service at the Horsham Town Hall.” “Programming and functions of the Art Gallery and Performing Arts Centre remain closed due to COVID directives, however, when they resume, these services will complement the visitor experience and will not be disrupted,” Mr Bhalla said. The Visitor Information Centre can be called on (03) 5382 1832.

regionally to visit family and friends and we look forward to welcoming travellers to our area,” Mr Bhalla said.

Horsham Rural City Council will start works on Monday 16 November to upgrade the roundabout at the intersection of Firebrace and Hamilton Streets.

The new and modernised service will initially operate Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm.

“By bringing visitors to the heart of the city, we envisage better results for local businesses. We will also provide visitors with a more direct experience of our city and its social, retail and service options.

Partial closures of the roundabout will limit movement in some directions for Hamilton Street traffic at various stages throughout the next four weeks.

“The contractors undertaking this project will work with affected businesses to provide access to and from properties in the area at all times, with some changed traffic flow to enable this.

Vehicles are encouraged to use Wilson Street during the works.

“HRCC is committed to ensuring our local community has the infrastructure needed to meet future demands,” he said.

The relocation was part of a series of recommendations from the Grampians Tourism Visitor Servicing Review Report. Horsham Rural City Council Chief

“We are hoping the new location will also give our retailers a boost as they look to bounce back from the impact of COVID-19.”

“This project involves the construction of green bicycle lanes that improve safety in what is a busy area used by many riders.

Changes to the roundabout’s central island and kerb design are also part of the works,” Chief Executive Officer Sunil Bhalla said.

The project is being jointly funded by HRCC and the Transport Accident Commission.

Housing injection alleviates pressure S

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ervice provider Uniting Wimmera has described a major social housing project as a ‘life changing’ opportunity for people struggling to secure accommodation across the region.

Horsham will gain a minimum $15-million to build public housing homes as part of a State Government plan. The project is part of a $5.3-billion injection to scale up public housing availability over the next four years, with a quarter of all money to be invested in regional Victoria. Uniting Wimmera executive officer Josh Koenig said the public housing build would respond to a ‘desperate need’ in the region. He said the Horsham rental market failed to keep pace with demand, leaving people on wait lists for months or even years. “The pressure has been immense. We have north of about 50 singles on

our wait lists for affordable housing. That’s 50 too many,” he said. “There have been people who have waited weeks, months or even years for housing opportunities.” Mr Koenig said lack of long-term planning to build social and affordable housing in Horsham had led to poorer outcomes for people who were already struggling to break into the rental market. “Horsham doesn’t seem like it can keep up with the growth – more and more people want to come here, but there’s not enough housing,” he said. “There’s extra businesses and trade coming to Horsham. “Major projects such as wind farms being built have contributed to properties being snapped up. “That’s a real positive for the region’s economy, but it’s just another factor we have to consider.” Premier Daniel Andrews said the new homes would be ‘modern and affordable’ and meet seven-star ener-

“There will be $15-million spent in Horsham, supporting the community with about 135 full-time equivalent jobs, as well as safe and affordable housing for those who need it”

gy efficiency standards, making them more comfortable during summer and winter, and saving tenants on their power bills. Mr Koenig said there was a demand for single or two-bedroom properties in the Wimmera. “We have a lot of single people looking for single-bedroom properties and smaller families or couples on our lists,” he said. “This highlights the lack of smallertype dwellings in the Wimmera. “We have a lot of three or four-bedroom houses, but not a lot of smaller options.”

Mr Koenig said having access to a secure home would be ‘life changing’, particularly for people experiencing homelessness. “If your circumstances change, your family breaks down or you find yourself out on your own, that impacts all aspects of your life,” he said. “But if you have a roof over your head and you and your family are safe, you actually have a base to look for work or anything else you need to get on track – it’s a ripple effect.” Ararat, Northern Grampians, Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh and West Wimmera local government areas will also share in $485-million, which is yet to be allocated across regional Victoria. State Government agency Homes Victoria is encouraging local governments to identify opportunities, such as vacant council land, and to work with community housing providers to start project partnerships. The state government will also build 1000 new units for indigenous Aus-

tralians, 1000 for domestic violence survivors and 2000 for people living with a mental illness across Victoria. Housing minister Richard Wynne said the plans would create more than 12,000 homes across the state and more than 10,000 jobs a year. “The economic and social benefits of the program will be distributed widely across Melbourne and regional Victoria,” he said. “There will be $15-million spent in Horsham, supporting the community with about 135 full-time equivalent jobs, as well as safe and affordable housing for those who need it. “This package will boost Victoria’s social housing supply by 10 percent in just four years – providing a stable foundation for thousands of Victorians to build their lives.” The State Government expects 11,000 dwellings will be completed by June 2023, with another 1300 completed by June 2024.

Leon’s wish From page 1 Mr Toy said while development of a multicultural convention, history or tourism centre or museum – ‘something for Horsham’ – was at the top of his wish list in a sale, he was confident the property would also work if a buyer continued to operate the site as a food and beverage business. “It might also be ideal for an agedcare facility or other community, government or private enterprise,” he said. “I would like to see the community benefiting from its future development. The opportunities are endless.” The restaurant and gardens have provided sites for everything from weddings, vintage-car rallies, roadshows and country music festivals. Toy’s Garden Restaurant will continue to operate as a takeaway business until a sale goes through. • Leon calls it a day, see pages 36 and 37.

Farm death SONGS OF JOY: Jamie Thomas and Grace O’Donnell-Clancy were in full voice at Horsham Church of Christ as organisers started to put together a 2020 virtual Horsham Carols By Candlelight presentation. The carols, usually involving a live performance in front of thousands of people at Horsham’s Sawyer Park, will this year be online on December 6. The event will include a star-studded line-up headlined by opera singer Tim McCallum. The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are partners in the presentation. MIXX FM will broadcast the event live on December 6 and people will be able to join a live stream of the carols via a link, which organisers will soon announce. Similar to the past few years, both MIXX FM and 3WM will also broadcast a re-run of the event from 11am, Christmas Day. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

A farm worker has died while operating a telehandler at Gerang Gerung, near Dimboola, on Thursday. WorkSafe investigators believe the man, 29, was preparing to remove bales from a stack when a raised bale attachment made contact with overhead power lines. The death brings the workplace fatality toll to 61 for 2020, two more than at the same time last year.

Imogen’s extraordinary journey T

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

he first time Harrow’s Kate Young held her daughter, Imogen, she could fit the majority of her body into the palm of her hand.

The average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but Imogen Madelyn Aziza Eva Young entered the world at 26 weeks and five days’ gestation. Although she weighed just 294 grams, Imogen was a fighter. “She used to hold my finger with her whole hand, which was as small as the space between my palm and the first crease of my little finger,” Mrs Young said. “But she had an extremely strong grip.” In Australia, almost nine percent of babies are born prematurely, before 37 weeks’ gestation. Their survival is affected by how premature they are, for example, moderately preterm babies are more likely to survive than extremely preterm babies. Imogen spent three months in the Royal Women’s Hospital neonatal intensive care unit in Melbourne, making up for the time she would have spent in the womb. Mrs Young said looking at her daughter, who celebrated her 10th birthday on June 27, you would never know she had such a traumatic start to life. “She is the most wonderful, healthy little girl,” she said. “Unlike some premmie babies, she doesn’t have any ongoing health issues, except she has a slight lung problem and we have to watch out for croup.”

FIT AND STRONG: Kate Young and her daughters Imogen, 10, left, and Isabella, 13, are thriving in Harrow. The Youngs moved to the Wimmera after Imogen was born almost three months premature to take advantage of the ‘amazing’ Harrow Bush Nursing Centre. Picture: CHRISTINE BULL PHOTOGRAPHY Mrs Young was living in Porepunkah in north-east Victoria when her ‘normal’ pregnancy suddenly became frightening. She woke up bleeding, automatically knew something was wrong and went to Wangaratta hospital. “I thought I would be staying in Wangaratta, but I didn’t realise I couldn’t have had my baby there,” she said. “Two men came in – nobody had told me I was leaving, which is probably because I wouldn’t have coped – and told me to pack my things into a black garbage bag because I was being airlifted to Melbourne. “I was in the Royal Women’s for two weeks and they said to me one day, ‘Do you want to have your baby?’ and I said, ‘That’s what I’m here for’. They told me it was happening now. “After Imogen was born, they put a

face mask on her to give her oxygen and it covered her whole body. She was quickly whisked off and I was sewn up, after my C-section. “When they first lifted her up, she didn’t make any noise, which was terrifying. Then they gave her a tap and she started to cry. It was such a relief. “I didn’t realise quite how little she was until I held her for the first time. I couldn’t actually feel her on my skin and I had to make sure I hadn’t dropped her. “That’s when I realised just how tiny she was – it was quite scary.” Mrs Young said while she was obviously concerned for her daughter’s welfare, she was lucky to have Imogen’s elder sister, Isabella – then almost three – for company. “Bella was amazing,” she said. “While I was checking Immy’s heart monitor, Bella would look at her sister

Busy slashing program Horsham municipal workers are tackling ‘the highest rates of vegetation growth in decades’ in their annual roadside slashing program. Horsham Rural City Council’s operations team is progressing with its annual program ahead of summer. The council has drafted extra staff and hired an extra tractor to complete the scheduled slashing program across the municipality. October rain and other favourable growing conditions have led to extensive vegetation growth, or regrowth across Horsham district. Chief executive Sunil Bhalla said staff members were forced to take a cautious approach following wet conditions to ensure they limited surface damage and avoided creating wheel ruts. But he said the onset of warm November weather meant slashing operations were now in full swing. “Our roadside mowing team will be in the Natimuk and Mitre areas for the next week or so

Wednesday, November 18, 2020

and then we will be heading south towards the Clear Lake and Nurrabiel areas,” Mr Bhalla said. “Also during this time we will have a team tidying up areas on Horsham’s outskirts. Then the team will head off towards the Dadswells Bridge area. “Our operations team reports that roadside pastures have not been this prolific for at least the past 20 years, and of course that is good news for our farmers and the region’s economy.” Mr Bhalla said now was also the time to be preparing private property for the approaching summer fire season. “Preparing our private properties now is of utmost importance,” he said. “Coming up to and during fire season, the preferred height for grass is no longer than 10 centimetres. The council has started property inspections and will issue fire-prevention notices where appropriate.

and say things like, ‘oh look, her eyes are changing colour’, or ‘Mum, Imogen’s put on weight today’. “To see her through Bella’s eyes was wonderful. “Despite being so worried, I used to spend days in the hospital reading to Imogen and telling her stories. I wanted to treat her the same as I would if she was a term baby. “I wanted her life to be as normal as possible and we were lucky, because she thrived.”

Thankful

Mrs Young said she could not thank the hospital staff enough. “They do the most wonderful job,” she said. “We donate to the Royal Women’s every year – they really are the most amazing people. “Our experience was so frightening

and confronting, but it was also very humbling knowing Imogen was so well looked after.” Mrs Young and Isabella lived with family in Williamstown for three months so they could remain close to Imogen. Once Imogen reached her birth date and all-important birth weight, the family relocated to Mrs Young’s home town of Harrow. She said Harrow Bush Nursing Centre was a key factor in her decision. “A nurse at the Royal Women’s told me they had five midwives and it would be a good idea for me to go live with my mother for a while,” she said. “So I did, and it was the best decision. I could not hold Harrow Bush Nursing Centre in any higher regard. They were amazing, helping myself, my girls and also my mum and stepdad, who we three girls lived with for the first few years. “Harrow has always had a special place in my heart and the girls both love living here.” Mrs Young took time to reflect on her family’s journey for World Prematurity Day yesterday. The annual event on November 17 helps raise awareness and support to improve outcomes for preterm babies and their families. “It is quite extraordinary to know now that despite her start, Imogen has grown up into the strongest, most empathetic, most perfect little girl,” Mrs Young said. “We’ve had a few battles along the way but she’s a determined little angel. “I know I am so lucky.” • For more on World Prematurity Day, see page 15.

Hard think needed on health services

t is with trepidation that we acknowledge that an exploration into improving Wimmera health services has put a potential Ballarat merger on the table.

Community health officials have listed voluntary amalgamation between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services as one possible outcome of a probe into meeting growing need. They started exploring a greater partnership earlier this year. The examination is in response to a constant Wimmera battle to fill key clinical roles and a high number of people travelling daily from the Wimmera to Ballarat for specialist services. The idea, for some, appears more than a little counter-intuitive and has

understandably set off some alarm bells. There is a quiet fear that such a merger might lead to an inevitable erosion of critical regional-service autonomy and head down a similar track already well established by past contraction of other government agency bases. The fear is that even airing the idea, especially within earshot of political finance rationalists, might ultimately lead to less, not more specialist services being available close to home. Added to this are also concerns about how this could potentially interfere with a promotional message about Wimmera-Mallee growth opportunities, especially in attracting more professionals to the region. At the core of this examination is a need to develop and encourage spe-

cialist services beyond a central urban ring, which these days includes Ballarat. Wimmera Health Care Group chair Marie Aitken has stressed that any decisions on voluntary reform would be based on an expansion of clinical services and no service losses. She also encouraged the community to get involved in discussions and engage in a range of consultation activities and surveys during the next three months. She said Wimmera and Ballarat

health-group boards had recognised ‘substantial opportunities for enhanced clinical governance, regulatory and aged-care compliance and accreditation, financial capability and clinical-service provision through partnership opportunities’. A quick snapshot of the Wimmera reveals a curious evolutionary mix of health-service providers. West Wimmera Health Service based at Nhill, for example, oversees Dunmunkle services in the region’s east. Other public health providers in the region include Stawell Regional Health, Rural Northwest Health, Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital and further to the south-east in Ararat district, East Grampians Health Service. The community consultation period is an important opportunity for peo-

ple to put forward their thoughts and ideas based on a charter to improve circumstances. There has been more than a strong hint in recent times that we get the best socio-economic outcomes for our Wimmera cities, towns and settlements with a regional approach. Does this mean, as well as considering a Wimmera-Ballarat merger, we also consider what a greater formal consolidation of what’s in a region already might be able to provide? We’re unsure, but what we do know is that the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted an opening of the doors of opportunity. We also know that close-at-hand and reliable health services represent the last bastion of confidence for people living in or considering moving to the regions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR spond. We can all agree they are necessary in high-traffic places that bring in a crowd – in the supermarket, the local hardware store, down the main street – but why should we be fined for not wearing a mask to walk the dog alone? To play golf solo? Or go fishing? Premier Daniel Andrews has admitted that on masks he has gone beyond the public health advice.

SIR, – Congratulations to all those who nominated for Horsham Rural City Council during such turbulent times. It’s great to have so many people believing in our community. My sincere appreciation to community members who supported my nomination with their votes, calls and messages. I am humbled by the messages received.

a team that will work closely and form links with our community while respecting each other and representing different views. We need to ensure that we strive to have the council and community on a journey together to develop the community’s vison for the future. I plan to be available for regular conversations and will be making myself available once a fortnight for people to drop in for a chat. I will notify the place and time after our new council settles in. As my previous community involvement shows, I have a strong passion for building community in all ways. To do it well and represent all areas of our Horsham community requires a concerted effort by people to also keep in contact with all elected councillors to ensure they are aware of their views. I encourage everyone to get involved to help us take Horsham forward. Best wishes to all as we work our way out of COVID-19. Stay safe and enjoy your time re-

Call for mask review

SIR, – As the weather heats up and COVID-19 cases stay low, the rules around mandatory masks must be reviewed. After nearly two weeks of no new cases statewide and with just four active cases in a state of nearly 6.5-million people, it’s difficult to understand why Daniel Andrews refuses to budge. Even public health experts are questioning the rule. Chair of epidemiology at Deakin University, Professor Catherine Bennett, says as cases stay low ‘masks don’t add a lot’ and that strict enforcement might actually encourage non-compliance. Meanwhile, Professorial Fellow in Epidemiology at the University of Melbourne, Professor Tony Blakely, says based on current numbers by the end of the month we won’t ‘need masks at all’. I wrote to the Chief Health Officer and asked the health minister in State Parliament to be transparent with Victorians and provide the public health advice that supports the rule – but they refuse to re-

Birds feature on new silos

giant magpie and kookaburra and a passing galah now overlook the west Wimmera town of Goroke.

They are the prominent features of a new mural at Goroke’s GrainCorp silos and the latest West Wimmera Shire addition to the region’s Silo Art Trail. The image of the magpie is particularly fitting considering the name Goroke has its origins from a Wotjobaluk word for the native bird. Artist Geoffrey Carran, who specialises in painting birds and is responsible for previous landscape-scale murals at Edenhope, Balmoral, Niddrie and Naracoorte, started work on the Goroke project in late September. His Goroke work follows completion of a GrainCorp silos mural at Kaniva. Carran worked closely with the Goroke community and West Wimmera Shire Council to develop the concept for the artwork. Council chief executive David Leahy said having two silo art locations in the shire was a significant drawcard for the region. “With COVID-19 restrictions easing, more tourists are now allowed to travel out to our beautiful part of the world,” he said. “We encourage everyone to put West Wimmera Shire on their list of ‘must see’ locations to visit.” Mr Leahy said regional Victorian visitors were already visiting both Kaniva and Goroke to view the painted works. He said he expected visitors from Melbourne to soon start arriving.

“We have many other attractions in West Wimmera Shire to take advantage of and we hope when people come to visit us, they also stop to buy food and fuel, or visit our wonderful lakes and wetlands,” he said. Silo art first started in the region at Brim in 2016 and soon spread to seven other locations throughout the Wimmera and Mallee. “We are very fortunate to have our own piece of silo art in our back yard,” Mr Leahy said. The council undertook the silo artwork project on behalf of the Goroke community through a State Government Pick My Project campaign. Carran is a contemporary artist based on the Surf Coast and has family property at Apsley. He is developing a reputation for his bird and plant paintings across Australia. He has also produced a design range for The National Gallery of Victoria. He has previously exhibited in Australia and internationally, with his work extending to New Zealand, Turkey, London and New York. His murals also often feature in rural and remote regions of Australia as a way to bring art and cultural engagement to those communities. More of his work is on website geoffreycarran.com.au. Fencing at the Goroke site is underway and the council has stressed anyone planning on visiting the silos must abide by safety rules, including staying out of exclusion FEATHERED FEATURES: Geoffrey Carran finishes his artwork at GrainCorp’s Goroke silos. zones.

Ararat council elects leaders Newly sworn-in Ararat Rural City Council has elected Jo Armstrong as mayor and Peter Beales as deputy mayor. The council voted on the roles at a statutory meeting. Chief executive Tim Harrison said councillors, in electing the mayor and deputy mayor, had shown support and respect for one another, acknowledging each other’s strengths and nominating based on what they thought was best for the community. Cr Armstrong, sitting mayor before local government elections, said it was an ‘absolute honour’ to be elected mayor and was humbled by the opportunity. “We are team Ararat. All seven of us who make up this council appreciate what effective teamwork can achieve,” she said. Cr Beales expressed his appreciation for nomination of deputy mayor and acknowledged Cr Armstrong for her election as mayor. He said he nominated Cr Armstrong for the position because he believed continuity was important. “I hope to impart my experience and knowledge to the new councillors,” he said. Dr Harrison said councillors also decided at the statutory meeting to elect the mayor and deputy mayor for one-year terms. “A one-year term will allow the council to reassess and re-evaluate its direction each year, and continue to work with changing community values,” he said. The next council meeting will be at 6pm on November 24. The council will update the community with a full meeting schedule for 2020-2021 in coming weeks.

Balance needed, input sought “We expect we’ll hear from a variety of people who value the park in different ways, and we’ll take all that into consideration in finalising the plans in partnership with traditional owners” Eastern Maar, Barengi Gadjin and Gunditj

BY DYLAN DE JONG

arks Victoria has stressed a major management plan for Grampians National Park will need to find balance between culture, environment, tourism and recreation.

Mirring traditional owner groups and Parks Victoria will seek public feedback on a draft Greater Gariwerd Landscape Management Plan over a 10-week period. The plan, unveiled last week, highlights future access and management of the national park. Parks Victoria regional director Jason Borg said the 15-year plan set framework to ‘celebrate’ and ‘protect’ the cultural and environmental values of the national park, while assessing what recreational activities could take place. Mr Borg said it would be crucial traditional owners’ 22,000-year history in the Gariwerd landscape was protected. “The region itself, including the Grampians and Black Range, have the majority of Victoria’s rock art,” he said. “We need to put in a lot of effort to protect that, out of respect for the traditional owners and their connection with country, so it can be celebrated by all Australians and people who visit.” More than one-million people visit the Grampians each year to pursue recreational interests such as rocking climbing, abseiling, hiking, fishing, camping and sightseeing. As part of the plan, 89 areas have been identified where rock climbing can take place, while 66 areas will be permanently restricted from climbing. Future assessments will classify a further 126 climbing areas and also identify where bouldering can take place. The draft plan also outlines management of threats to the landscape such as over-grazing, weed invasion, ‘inappropriate fire regimes’, visitor impact and water use. It also sets out to minimise noise and light pol-

lution and aims to reintroduce dingoes and other native animals. Mr Borg said reintroduction of native species needed ‘extensive’ research and consultation with nearby landowners. “We have already reintroduced rock wallabies and we’re investigating reintroducing quolls into the Grampians as well as dingoes that are all native to the area,” he said. “However, there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done before any species is reintroduced into that landscape. “This is about trying to return the landscape to some semblance of what it looked like prior to colonisation.” Mr Borg said the plan aimed to protect native animal and plant species for future generations. “The Grampians is home to about one third of Victoria’s flora and fauna,” he said. “Many of those species aren’t found anywhere else in the state. It’s really important that these pockets of biodiversity are protected.” Mr Borg said community consultation sessions would take place until January 24, 2021. “We expect we’ll hear from a variety of people who value the park in different ways, and we’ll take all that into consideration in finalising the plans in partnership with traditional owners,” he said. Parks Victoria encourages people to attend an online information session to learn more about what is in the plan. There will be an online webinar from 5.30pm tomorrow afternoon. People can register at: www.eventbrite.com.au/o/parks-victoria29144363397?s=125718799.

businesses and the potential for tourism,” he said. Ms Byass’ background is in maternal and child health nursing and she has worked with a diverse range of people in the community. She said she had a commitment to celebrating and protecting the South West Ward as one of the most ‘splendid natural wonders of our planet’. “As guided by our First Nations community, I want to ensure harmony of the environment with realistic support of

all people – working, living and visiting our region,” she said. Mr Robertson plans to maintain ‘intellectual and physical’ assets in the municipality and further develop the identity of the region. He said his background and experience was in commercial organisations. Voting closes on November 27 and Victorian Electoral Commission will announce the result on December 4. • Hindmarsh by-election, page 11.

Dean finds the right fix with an apprenticeship Growing up, you would always find Dean working on his family’s cars. “I just liked tinkering around the cars, it was something I really enjoyed,” Dean said.

Dean put this passion into action and after participating in the Australian Government’s Youth Jobs PaTH Internship, he is now working towards achieving a Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology through an Australian Apprenticeship. Prior to this, finding a job was harder than he had anticipated in his hometown of Lake Bolac in Victoria. “It was frustrating as I was looking for months and months and wasn’t getting anywhere.” That all changed when he met with his local employment services provider, Sureway. They connected with Suggy’s Automotive and Trailer Hire, which took Dean on as an intern through the Youth Jobs PaTH program. More than an hour drive away, in Stawell, it was a big move for Dean, but he took the chance.

“When Dean was first offered the internship, he was a little hesitant as he was from the small country town,” Sureway consultant Carli Milkins said. “Once I worked with Dean and was able to find stable accommodation for him, he relaxed and was able to really focus on the internship as he knew distance was no longer an issue for him.” “As Dean only had his L plates at the time the internship was offered, I organised driving lessons and paid for Dean’s hazards and driving tests. Dean successfully passed his driving test and obtained his licence just before the start of the internship.” Carli said. Over his 12-week internship, Suggy’s owner Aaron Resuggan was impressed with Dean’s progress and his decision to go ahead with the internship was made even easier with support through the Australian Government’s Employment Fund. Financial assistance was offered so Suggy’s could purchase Dean’s work clothes, boots and tools so he could successfully complete the internship. “Dean presented himself with a will-

ing to learn attitude. His dedication made it an easy choice to offer him an apprenticeship,” Aaron said. Aaron said the assistance provided through JobKeeper during the COVID-19 pandemic had also helped them keep Dean on their books. “The $10,000 wage subsidy helped me with onboarding Dean. The Supporting Apprenticeship and Trainees subsidy also really helped me with payments during this difficult COVID period.” As for Dean, he is going from strength to strength as an apprentice. “I’ve been able to work now on something I love, and I hope my apprenticeship at Suggy’s opens more opportunities for me in the future,” Dean said.

Violence rises in Wimmera BY DYLAN DE JONG

family violence support coordinator is urging women and children to seek help as family violence rates increase in the Wimmera.

Victoria’s Crime Statistics Agency figures released early this month show family violence incidents in Horsham increased by 40 percent between April and June compared with the same period last year. There were also increases in Northern Grampians, Ararat and Yarriambiack municipalities, while Hindmarsh and West Wimmera reports decreased. Police leaders said the figures were likely a result of increased awareness and confidence in authorities to report and seek help. Sexual Assault and Family Violence Centre Wimmera co-ordinator Jo-Anne Bates said figures signalled more people were reporting to police and emergency services. However, she said figures were only a glimpse into a ‘multi-layered’ issue.

“Not everyone reports to police. The numbers police might receive are quite different to the numbers we receive,” she said. “We have noticed an increase in people coming forward and seeking support after the first COVID-19 lockdowns eased. “Data also highlighted when children returned to school that not only were women making disclosures, but children were also speaking out.”

New challenges

Ms Bates said the first and second waves of lockdowns across Victoria presented significant challenges for families already at risk. “Having a preparator around 24-hours certainly would have increased the risk for them,” she said. “And as people lost their jobs through this time, the threat of feeling like they might not have a home to live in, or food provided, or money to buy food, are other layers of that complexity. “The public might just think family violence is about hitting some-

one – it’s more than that. Psychological and emotional abuse is an additional layer.” Ms Bates encouraged those experiencing any form of violence to seek support from agencies, or in a crisis situation to call police. “Those initial steps can be a scary and frightening thing. They might not want to come forward immediately, but we would encourage them to initiate a safety plan,” she said. “We also encourage people to support those who they know are going through family violence. “Believe them, don’t judge them or tell them what they have to do, but rather provide them with information in a safe manner when the perpetrator is not around.” Horsham Police Inspector Paul Lloyd, who oversees a family violence investigation unit in the region, said third-party reporting helped police and support agencies respond to incidents faster. “If someone sees something going on and it’s not right, they can report it – you can always call us anony-

Gender equality point of interest Workplace Gender Equality Agency director Libby Lyons will be guest speaker at Women’s Health Grampians’ annual meeting today. Ms Lyons, who was appointed agency director in October 2015, will discuss how COVID-19 has affected gender equality, specifically looking at the gender pay gap. WGEA oversees the statutory reporting process that gathers gender equality data from more than 10,000 employers, covering more than four-million employees. Ms Lyons works closely with employers to achieve gender equality. She participates in regular roundtable and speaking events with business leaders and their peers to share experiences, challenges and successes in creating workplaces where skills and ambitions of employees are equally recognised and rewarded regardless of gender. “I am absolutely delighted to be speaking at the Women’s Health Grampians AGM,” Ms Lyons said. “Although female-dominated professions such as healthcare workers, teachers and childcare workers are at the forefront of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many women have also lost their jobs or had their working hours reduced. “I’m very concerned about the long-term impact this will have on women’s workforce participation and their economic and financial security.” Ms Lyons said it was critical the pandemic did not lead to a decline in the ‘many gains’ achieved in recent years. “During the Global Financial Crisis, the gender

mously,” he said. “Often the person involved in that relationship might not take the first step, so someone else taking that step for them might be the catalyst to pursue change.” Mr Lloyd said increased reporting in the region was a sign the community had confidence in authorities and agencies. “That’s been a steady trend for a while now – the reason it is up is because people have increased confidence in coming forward,” he said. “People are starting to have confidence in the system now and the support agencies we interact with. “Reaching out is often the hardest part. We just encourage those who are suffering or know someone who is suffering family violence to reach out and report it.” • For 24-7 family violence help and support, people can call Safe Steps on 1800 015 188 or webchat safesteps.org.au/chat from Monday to Friday, 9am to 9pm. In an emergency, call triple zero.

East nominations Chris Johnson, Costa Di Biase and Wendy Bywaters have firmed as nominations for a Hindmarsh Shire Council East Ward by-election. The ward has two representative positions. Debra Nelson was elected unopposed to fill one during local government elections. A by-election is on December 4 with the Victorian Electoral Commission to announce results on December 11. Mr Johnson has lived and worked in Dimboola during the past five years, working with a variety of groups. He said a major contributor to positive change in Dimboola had been the work of the council and he wanted to see momentum continue. “I would like to see more businesses invest in the town and make sure council supports these new businesses to be successful,” he said. Ms Bywaters, from Nhill, has also nominated after missing in her campaign to join the council as a West Ward councillor during the election. She has a commitment to seeing the farming district thrive and a community where all residents were heard and valued, where there were well-maintained roads, amenities, infrastructure and high-standard services. Mr Di Biase has also been involved in community projects and committees as well as emergency organisations. He said he was keen to promote ‘country living at its best’.

The ‘gas man’ calls time on career P

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

opular Horsham ‘gas man’ Bill Stewart will retire next week after five decades of serving the community.

Mr Stewart, 67, said he would ‘miss the people the most’, particularly the many loyal customers who had supported him throughout his various business ventures. “I’ve had a lot of older loyal customers over the past 30 to 35 years – some, I’ve done their heaters for them for that whole period of time,” he said. “Customer service has always been a highlight for me, especially when you visit the older customers. “While a lot of them want their heaters serviced, a lot of them want to have a chat as well. They might not have children locally or anything like that and they’re always up for a cup of tea. “I’ve been doing the individual homes at Sunnyside Lutheran Retirement Village for 25 years and it’s the same there – they’re always up for a chat and we have a good relationship with them. “It’s been good introducing our younger guys to that environment.” Mr Stewart is in the process of finishing up his final weeks with Horsham family business Wade’s. His role includes installing new gas appliances and servicing and repairs, along with training the next generation of gas technicians. Mr Stewart emigrated from Northern Ireland, near Belfast, in 1966 at the age of 13, following his father’s death. He and his mother moved to Mt Gambier to join Mr Stewart’s brother

Mr Stewart said he planned to spend his retirement completing ‘a long list of jobs’, headed by a back-yard renovation. He said he would stay in Horsham, with his wife, Julie, still working at Prouds jewellers. “I’m hoping I can handle retirement because I’ve never been a person who has stayed at home,” Mr Stewart said. “I love playing golf and I have a strong group of friends who travel all over the place playing. “I’m looking forward to getting back into fishing – I have a nine-year-old grandson and we’re looking forward to doing a bit of fishing together. “I’ve also had him out at the golf club trying to teach him how to play golf.”

and his wife. After he left school, Mr Stewart had a short stint in the building industry before winning a gasfitting apprenticeship with the Gas and Fuel Corporation in 1970. He said he took to the industry ‘straight away’. “I was really happy,” he said. “It was something I was interested in and when I started, all the appliances were very basic. We just saw the start of the introduction of electronic circuit boards into gas appliances. It was a good time. “Unfortunately, the foreman here in Horsham was diagnosed with terminal cancer, so I was offered the job – that’s how I was able to make the transition.”

Changing times

Mr Stewart took over as Horsham foreman of Gas and Fuel in 1977, leaving the company to start Horsham Gas Services in about 1984. In 1990, he started the first of two stints with Wade’s. “Wade’s sold the gas business to Kimpton Builders, in about 2000, and it then became Wimmera Gas Services,” he said. “I managed that for Michael and Pam Clarke until about 2007 and then my wife and I bought Wimmera Gas Services back from Kimptons in 2007.” Mr Stewart sold the business to Wade’s in about 2012, after being approached by director Adrian Wade. “I was looking to get out of the business with a view to planning retirement,” he said. “I’d always been sub-contracting and working for Wade’s and continued to have very close contact with them.

Great bunch

NEXT CHAPTER: Bill Stewart will retire next week after five decades of serving the community. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER So, Adrian suggested I come back here and see my time out with Wade’s, which is what’s happened.” Mr Stewart has seen a wealth of changes throughout his time in the industry. “When I first came here with Gas and Fuel, probably two thirds of the town didn’t have mains gas and we had more than 700 customers still on cylinders,” he said. “I supervised the laying of all the new gas mains through Horsham North and other areas during that time.

“At Gas and Fuel I was a supervisor, looking after staff who were doing a heap of service work and installations. “In those days there was no plumbing inspectors or Energy Safe Victoria inspectors – basically, I was it.” Mr Stewart said in recent years, technology had started to leave him behind. “I made a comment a few years ago it’s a waste of time sending me for training for new appliances, they need to send the younger gas guys because they’re the future,” he said.

Mr Stewart said he would miss the ‘great bunch of people’ at Wade’s and would call up to find out when ‘baking day’ was so he could time his visits. “I’d like to thank everyone who’s been a loyal customer over the years – that’s the side of things I’ll miss more than anything,” he said. “I found that as much as I’ve loved what I’ve done over the years, I’ve started to lose the passion for it. When you lose that, you know your time is right.” Wade’s director Adam Jolley said Mr Stewart would be missed. “We appreciate Bill’s services over such a long time and the knowledge he’s brought along, along with all the fun times and friendships,” he said. “Bill is very well known – he’s the ‘gas man’. He’s been the best in the district forever.”

Day for reflection BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera families and healthcare workers are among those who marked World Prematurity Day yesterday, honouring the struggles of premature babies and remembering those who lost their fight for life.

In Australia, about 27,000 babies are born premature – before 37 weeks’ gestation – each year, equating to almost nine percent of births. About a quarter of preterm babies are born before 32 weeks. Wimmera Health Care Group nurse-midwife unit manager Michelle Coutts said World Prematurity Day, on November 17, was an important opportunity to raise awareness of the challenges and effects of preterm birth. “The impact on parents and families when a baby is born prematurely is tremendous,” she said. “In regional areas, a premature baby often has to be transferred to a larger unit for ongoing care and they might be ‘away from home’ for weeks or months. “The social, mental and financial impact of this experience can take its toll on some families.” The theme of World Prematurity Day 2020 is ‘Together for babies born too soon – Caring for the future’. “The colour associated with the day is purple, which signifies sensitivity and exceptionality – two traits of a premature baby,”

Mrs Coutts said. “Parents of a premature baby often wear purple on this day, or dress their baby in purple to signify these traits.” She said although the COVID-19 pandemic had affected in-person celebrations, people and organisations such as Preterm Infants Parents Association Inc were using social media to help raise awareness. Mrs Coutts said there were many common causes of premature birth, including multiple pregnancies such as twins; history of premature birth; conceiving through IVF; problems with the uterus or placenta; smoking or illicit drug use; infections; chronic illnesses; an over or underweight mother; stress; physical trauma; and miscarriage. “Sometimes the cause is just unknown,” she said.

Long term

Health professionals have identified many short and long-term issues associated with being born prematurely, such as breathing difficulties; cardiac problems; poor feeding; poor ability to regulate temperature; immature immune system making them more prone to infections; and brain bleeding and seizures. Mrs Coutts said treatment often depended on how premature the baby was at birth and the exact problems it was facing. “Treatment might involve medications, intravenous therapy, respiratory support or surgery – or a combination of these,” she said.

“Some babies are cared for in special care nurseries or neonatal intensive care units; it all depends on their age and what support and treatment they need.” Mrs Coutts said parents of premature or sick babies could benefit from resources including Life’s Little Treasures Foundation, founded in 2005. She said the foundation had done ‘an enormous amount of work to develop resources specifically for parents of premature babies’. She said parents might find it difficult to adjust to unexpectedly giving birth to a premature or sick baby. “This experience is not what expectant parents imagine when it comes to having a baby,” she said. “A premature baby is born and they and their parents are suddenly thrust into a world of machines, monitors, medical professionals and conversations in words that are not often understood. “It can be overwhelming for parents to work out what is going on and what to do. “In my experience, it has been amazing to watch the parents of many premature babies I have cared for over my years as a midwife. “Often these parents are stronger characters than they ever knew they were and to watch their attentiveness, love and strength as their baby grows is inspiring.”

Students keeping connections Wimmera students donating toys and essential items to children in need this Christmas are learning the value of giving back. Horsham Primary School students plan to donate 14 shoeboxes for global project Operation Christmas Child this year. The school participates in the project to donate school supplies, hygiene items and toys to children across the globe every year. This year, schools had to purchase boxes the organisation had pre-made to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19. However, year-one teacher Jess Hartridge said students still wrote personalised letters to children to establish a connection. “We take part in Operation Christmas Child every year and support the charity,” she said. “Unfortunately, we haven’t been involved in that process of making up the boxes ourselves this year, but to keep a personal

connection with the child, each class has written a letter to a child, which we can slot into the online order form. “The important part for us was to make sure the students could have a personal connection with the gift receiver.” Ms Hartridge said the donation project had taught students the importance of giving back. “Even though it has been a difficult year for all of us due to the pandemic, we still want the students to think about others around the world who need our support,” she said. “It’s something that’s instilled in Horsham Primary School values. “We need to think about others, other than ourselves, and we need to be reaching out to support the local community and the wider community.” – Dylan De Jong

Plastic innovation at Coles car park A

new concrete car park at Coles supermarket will be partly made of recycled softplastic waste material.

Coles has partnered with Victorian recycling organisations RED Group and Replas to work on the Roberts Avenue car park. Under construction, the car park is the first commercial construction project in Australia to make use of Polyrok – a sustainable alternative to aggregate minerals used in concrete, such as stone. Made from plastic bags and soft plastic packaging recovered from the REDcycle program, Polyrok has the potential to divert 105,000 tonnes of soft plastics from landfill each year, if used in commercial concrete projects across Australia. Coles state construction manager Fiona Lloyd said the Horsham project was the first time the product had been used in a commercial environment. “As one of Australia’s largest food retailers, we know how important it is to support initiatives that help to close the loop with soft plastics,” she said.

“Polyrok reduces the carbon footprint due to the reduced thermal mass it provides. This tackles the plastic problem and climate change all while being fit for purpose”

– Mark Jacobsen

“This project alone will help repurpose about 900,000 pieces of soft plastic, to be used in the car park at the soon-to-be-competed Coles Horsham redevelopment. “We have worked with RED Group, Replas and RMIT University throughout the development process and we’re excited to see how we can use this technology in more of our stores.” Replas joint managing director Mark Jacobsen said Coles, Replas and RED Group were leading the way on recycling the soft plastics returned to Coles supermarkets. “Polyrok reduces the carbon footprint due to the reduced thermal mass it provides,” he said. “This tackles the plastic problem and climate change all while be-

ing fit for purpose. If innovative products like this were adopted in all buildings and car parks, the collective reduction in greenhouse gasses would be enormous.” Waste reduction and environmental management assistant minister Trevor Evans welcomed the collaboration to find innovative and practical ways to reuse soft plastics. “There is huge potential and opportunity for infrastructure projects to help us build a more circular economy,” he said. “This is why the Federal Government has prioritised the development of new national standards and guidelines to encourage the use of recycled content in roads and other projects.” Coles has worked with REDcycle since 2011, becoming the first major Australian supermarket to have REDcycle bins in every supermarket. Since the partnership began, Coles and its customers have diverted more than 1.3-billion pieces of soft plastic from landfill.

A safer place to live and a

great place NATURAL ASSET: Wimmera River Improvement Committee chairman Gary Aitken at Horsham’s Police Paddock Nature Reserve. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Committee sights on Police Paddock

busy community group has turned its attention to Horsham’s Police Paddock Nature Reserve in efforts to build on passive recreation opportunities in the city.

Wimmera River Improvement Committee is scoping out plans to expand walking and cycling tracks at the wetland reserve, a renowned wildlife haven on Horsham’s northern fringe. Committee chairman Gary Aitken said the reserve was one of Horsham’s ‘hidden gems’ and a perfect place for people needing to exercise and mentally recharge. “I often describe the Police Paddock as the ‘mini Kakadu without the crocodiles’. It is an example of what the area would have originally looked like,” he said. “Many people might be unaware the paddock dams fill with Horsham stormwater, which means it is rare for it to ever be short of water. “I’ve never seen it dry and what this means is that it is a rare haven in the northern part of Horsham for wildlife. It provides a home or stopover point for countless species of birds. In fact it’s a birdwatcher’s paradise and is just big enough to represent a natural parkland setting.” Mr Aitken said extending the Rasmussen Road reserve’s walking and cycling opportunities made sense as more people embraced the benefits of passive recreation.

“We’ve developed the walking tracks over the years but have noted there are other parts of the reserve people haven’t had an opportunity to enjoy,” he said. “We want to encourage more people to get out and walk or cycle, be it for one kilometre, two or five. We have the opportunity to do all sorts of things.” Mr Aitken said the reserve was likely to play a key role in addressing a lack of environmental parkland suitable for walking or cycling in Horsham North. “The Police Paddock has been the subject of a strong commitment from the committee and we see it as pivotal in a long-term project to establish a looping walking and cycling trail circuit that connects with the Wimmera River,” he said. “It really is one of the great hidden gems. The dams are regularly stocked with fish and it’s a great place for a picnic in a bushland setting. “It really is a wonderful natural asset of Horsham district and, importantly, free of charge for people to visit.” Wimmera River Improvement Committee operates independently and is a key group working on Wimmera River frontage enhancements in Horsham. It provides a volunteer workforce for its projects under a Horsham Rural City Council banner.

Support for hospitality businesses N

orthern Grampians Shire Council will waive a raft of fees and provide extra support to help hospitality businesses reopen as they make the transition to ‘COVID-normal’ operation.

The council has made the move in the wake of State Government Outdoor Eating and Entertainment Package funding. Current step three restrictions allow for restaurants, hotels and cafes to host up to 40 customers indoors and 70 customers outdoors, provided establishments can adhere to density quotas. The State Government funding aims to help hospitality businesses adapt their outdoor spaces accordingly. The council outdoor dining permit-fee waivers cover any permit fee, including building and planning, to help businesses comply with new outdoor dining rules. The council will also provide help for businesses to apply for other state and federal grants where they are deemed ineligible for the State Government Outdoor Eating and Entertainment Package. There will be on-site council support available for businesses to design outdoor

dining spaces compliant with State Government requirements. The council will also help with permits, planning and support for ‘pop up’ dining projects and supply picnic rugs that hospitality customers can borrow to enjoy their takeaway in outdoor spaces. Businesses can request the rugs through the council at no cost to business owners and they will be ordered on an as-needs basis.

Engagement

Council chief executive Liana Thompson said the council acknowledged the business changes were complex and had appointed a business-engagement officer from its business team to support the hospitality industry with planning and implementation of the changes. She said the business team would help business owners navigate through regulations such as compliance with the Disability Act, the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation and abiding by Victoria Police coronavirus rules. Ms Thompson called on all hospitality businesses in the shire to reach out to

the council regarding this funding and support. “We know this has been a very difficult year for our region and hospitality is one industry that has been severely impacted by coronavirus restrictions,” she said. “The outdoor eating and entertainment funding is a fantastic initiative to help resurrect our once vibrant hospitality sector. “We are keen to see businesses in that sector take full advantage of the funding on offer and we are here to support them to make the necessary adaptations to boost their trade. “We wholeheartedly encourage locals and tourists alike to go and dine at our local pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafês as they implement these new options for outdoor entertainment in our picturesque shire; it’s such a marvellous time of year to be outside.” The council has encouraged hospitality businesses to contact its business engagement officer on 5358 8700 at business@ ngshire.vic.gov.au for further information. Coronavirus information relevant to Northern Grampians Shire is available online at ngshire.vic.gov.au/Coronavirus.

‘Quiet achiever’ in the running Mitch McKinnis has finished his schooling on a high note, with a nomination for a school-based apprentice of the year award. The Ararat College student has earned a nomination in the Apprentice Employment Network awards, which recognise school-based apprentices and trainees across the country. This year, Mitch has been juggling his year-12 studies while completing certificate III diesel mechanics at Ararat Rural City Council, all while faced with challenges of online and remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of his training, Mitch also works with Western District Diesel Services every Tuesday. His course work is undertaken with Sunraysia TAFE. “It’s a pretty good feeling to be recognised for the work I’ve been doing,” he said. “It’s been good going to the school and working at the shire and Western District at the same time.” Mitch said he was keen to push forward with his apprenticeship now that he had offi-

“At the shire you get to work on the same gear and can get familiar with it all – and at Western District you work on anything and everything. “Both jobs are giving me solid foundations.”

Ararat College careers practitioner Andrew Sherwell said Mitch was a quiet achiever who continually worked hard at school and in his job. “Mitch has shown all the required employability skills and his own personal initiative to be able gain nomination. He’s a quiet achiever but he loves getting his hands dirty,” he said. “Not only is he working for two great organisations, he is building a good network as well. “His nomination also encourages us at the school to have some concrete evidence to show that we are able to provide good outcomes for our students.” College students Reece Kettle, Josh Scown and Jordan Ferguson have also successfully gained full-time apprenticeships after finishing their schooling this year. Mr Sherwell congratulated the students and thanked the employers providing the opportunities. – Dylan De Jong

Snake bite a timely reminder W

hen Rural Northwest Health nurse Hayley Smith fumbled on a hot piece of tin while working in her back yard in Hopetoun early one morning she felt something latch on to her hand.

Looking down, she saw a snake. Ms Smith said on instinct she flailed her arm and the snake let go. She said only a few moments had passed before she put a plan into action to ensure she could get medical assistance. “I normally always have my phone on me, but this time I didn’t, so I knew I had to get inside and find it,” she said. Ms Smith said she struggled to locate her phone and instead grabbed a bandage and wrapped from her fingers to half-way between her elbow and shoulder. She said she was aware she needed to keep her arm as still as possible to limit the spread of potential venom that might have been injected from the snakebite. Ms Smith called 000 and paramedics told her they would be 40 minutes. However, after 10 minutes, she said her condition started to deteriorate quickly and she tried to walk out to her car. “I started to feel worse. My head hurt, I had stomach pains and I was starting to get a rash,” she said. Ms Smith said her neighbour saw her vomiting in her driveway and offered to drive her to the hospital. Arriving at urgent care, the Hopetoun team jumped into action and

prescribed medication to try to alleviate the symptoms. Adult retrieval was called to fly in anti-venom, while MICA paramedics and a clinical support officer arrived to assist. The Helicopter Emergency Medical Service, HEMS, landed at the Hopetoun football oval with the requested anti-venom. “The HEMS team assessed my condition and explained the side effects of the anti-venom are often worse than the venom itself. I decided to see if my body was able to fight it off itself before deciding to take the anti-venom,” Ms Smith said. Loaded onto the helicopter to be transferred to Bendigo, it was during

the short flight the decision was made to administer the anti-venom. Forty minutes later, Ms Smith was in the Intensive Care Unit, ICU, at Bendigo Hospital, where blood tests confirmed the snake had injected it’s venom. Ms Smith spent the next two days in the ICU while medical professionals took regular blood tests to monitor her condition before she was transferred to a regular hospital ward and then released later the same day. “Apart from being tired I haven’t had any further side effects so far, which is good. Everybody did everything they possibly could to help me and I will be forever thankful to everyone,” she said.

RNH acting executive clinical services manager Meghan Noonan said snakes only attacked if they felt threatened. She said it was important for people to remain calm when they came in contact with a snake. “Snakes are particularly prevalent at this time of the year and there have been several snake bites reported within the region,” she said. “The community is urged to be vigilant and in the event of a snake bite call triple zero and apply a firm bandage starting at the snake bite and cover the entire limb and keep the limb immobilised.”

Deer hunting interest grows Research into Victorian deer hunting has revealed an increase in the number of licensed recreational deer hunters and an increase in the number of feral deer harvested in 2019. Game Management Authority has released data from an ‘Estimates of the 2019 deer harvest in Victoria’ that showed hunters harvested 173,800 deer, a 43 percent increase on the 121,600 in 2018. Exotic pest deer species live in the Wimmera catchment, but most of the state’s 2019 harvest occurred in the state’s east. Based on Victorian catchments, estimates reveal the greatest harvest was in North East catchment with 45,000 to 60,000 animals, and GoulburnBroken and East Gippsland, both 30,000 to 45,000. In comparison, both Wimmera and North Central catchment harvests ranged from 1000 to 2500 animals. There have long been populations of deer, particularly red deer, in Grampians National Park and surrounding areas. Sambar deer was the most harvested species, with an estimated total harvest of 131,258, of which 60 percent were female. Fallow deer was the second most harvested species, with an estimated harvest of 30,307 deer, of which 62 percent were female. The number of recreational deer hunters licensed to hunt deer in Victoria peaked at 41,985 by the end of the year. Authority chief executive Graeme Ford said the 2019 deer-hunting season continued a trend of an increased harvest. “It is important to collect information each year, which is used to help inform decisions about deer management and the management of hunting on public and private land in Victoria ” he said.

Andrews’ broken promises on Basin Rail, Boat Fund, CFA and timber jobs 21 October 2020

are feeling betrayed by Premier Daniel Andrews and his ministers, who have, in the past week, broken yet more major promises. Yesterday the Andrews Government abandoned its promise to complete the full upgrade and standardisation of the Murray Basin Rail network, after major delays and mismanagement. The Weekly TImes

$1000 a day going to mostly empty Melbourne trains as basin rail project remains stalled

Farmers are calling for services to be wound back and the savings invested in restarting work on Victoria’s dilapidated rail freight lines, including the half-built Murray Basin Rail network, which are crucial to delivering food to Australians and the world.

22 July 2020

Basin rail’s $1 billion blow

But he said funding was being sought to redo the Maryborough to Ararat line, which the Andrews Government had attempted to upgrade using second-hand track from the Castlemaine line. “It’s 80-years-old steel that didn’t weld (properly) and cracked,” Mr Walsh said.

The Federal Government’s stumped up over 50% for the original plan, but sadly the State Labor Government has failed to deliver, and continues to fail. It’s vital for our region that this project is delivered in full, and delivered now.

Symbols of hope

est Wimmera Shire Council is working with its schools and communities in the region to raise awareness of this year’s White Ribbon Day.

White Ribbon Day, on November 20, raises awareness of domestic violence and encourages people to come together and commit to preventing violence against women in Australia. This year, the West Wimmera council will put up white-ribbon symbols in each town and ask communities and students to show their support and tie a white ribbon to the symbols. Council chief executive David Leahy said it was important the council and the community supported the cause, even in a COVID-19 environment. He said by having white-ribbon symbols throughout the shire, people could easily support the cause safely and commit to ending family violence in the region. White-ribbon symbols will be at Goroke, Edenhope, Apsley, Kaniva and Harrow. At Goroke, the symbol will be on the front fence of Goroke P-12 College and people keen to show support will be able to collect a white ribbon from Goroke IGA Supermarket.

At Edenhope, the symbol will be on the front fence of the Edenhope College. Ribbons can be collected from West Wimmera Shire Council’s Edenhope office. At Apsley, the symbol will be on a playground fence on the Wimmera Highway and people can collect ribbons from Apsley Post Office. A Kaniva symbol will be on the fence at Gary Mills Plumbing in Commercial Street, with ribbons available from West Wimmera Shire Council’s Kaniva office. Harrow Town Hall fence is the symbol site at Harrow and people can collect ribbons from Harrow Post Office. Mr Leahy said everyone in West Wimmera Shire was invited to tie a ribbon on a symbol. “This is a really important issue in our community and it is vital we all do our part to make our shire a safer place for everyone,” he said. “One in four women in Australia have experienced emotional abuse by a current or former partner. It is a serious issue and one that is present in our communities. “We need to work together to create change and I encourage everyone in the community to show their support.”

OPPORTUNITY: Horsham College’s 2021 school leaders, from left, captains Zac Koenig and Bella Panozzo, and vice-captains Maddox Hughes and Lucy Macchia. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

College leaders elected Horsham College’s incoming school captains are looking forward to a positive, ‘normal’ year in 2021 following months of upheaval due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Zac Koenig and Bella Panozzo have won school captain roles, with Maddox Hughes and Lucy Macchia elected vice-captains. Zac said it was important for

school leaders to be good role models for other students. “We’ve got to be good examples for what not to do, and to do, of course,” he said. Bella said being school captain was a great opportunity. “It’ll be exciting to see how everyone works together to make next year great for all the students,” she said. “I think everyone is starting

to appreciate school more because we’ve missed it. “Hopefully everyone will want to get involved a bit more.” Bella said everyone was looking forward to a ‘positive and successful’ 2021. “That’s the plan anyway,” she said. – Sarah Matthews

Generally, what happens the body is designed to keep going, so with a small incident the body adapts.

Become a ‘Host with the Most’

ourism and municipal leaders are urging people to encourage friends and family living beyond the region’s boundaries to visit Grampians National Park and its surrounding communities.

Grampians Tourism has joined forces with Horsham, Ararat and Northern Grampians councils on a major ‘Host with the Most’ summer campaign. Organisers launched the campaign this week with an aim to help the regional tourism industry recover from the impact of closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Estimates are that the tourism industry annually contributes more than $540-million to the regional economy. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman encouraged people across the region to become a ‘Host with the Most’ and invite people to the region to explore some of the Grampians’ great attractions, cultural expe-

ditions, culinary experiences and scenery. He said people signing up to become a Host with the Most would have access to special offers, guides and invitations to send to friends and relatives. Hosts can pick up ‘Host with the Most’ passports from participating visitor centres. Hosts can collect three stamps on their passport from participating operators when redeeming special offers. When hosts have three stamps they can drop their passport to Ararat Gallery TAMA, Halls Gap Visitor Information Centre or Horsham and Grampians Visitor Information Centre to go into the draw to win a Grampians ‘luxury escape’. There are also 10 runner-up prizes of a limited edition A3 photographic print of the Grampians by Georgie Mann Photography up for grabs. “We are asking the locals to become important advocates for our destination, reconnect with

their friends and relatives in the region and spend time in their own back yard discovering all the unique experiences that often are taken for granted,” Mr Sleeman said. “By getting out and about they are also helping friends, neighbours and the local community.” Offers available for Host with the Most include 10 percent off animal encounters at Halls Gap Zoo, an upgrade from a cheese platter to a grazing board at Barangaroo Wines at Lower Norton near Horsham, and 30 percent off an adult ticket price of selected J Ward ghost tours at the J Ward Lunatic Asylum in Ararat. “We encourage everyone to take advantage of some wonderful local deals while supporting the recovery of businesses across our region,” Mr Sleeman said. People can sign up to access special offers, guides, invitations and more at www.visitgrampians. com.au/host-with-the-most.

CONTINUED SUPPORT: Horsham’s Jules Darrington, 12, has almost doubled fundraising efforts in his bake sale for Horsham PAWS.

Jules bringing in baking dollars Horsham youth Jules Darrington has raised nearly $1000 for an animal rescue group in the past month. Jules, 12, with help from his mother Sigrid, started a monthly bake sale back in August to help raise money for Horsham PAWS animal rescue. Last month his bake sale raised $962. The money will go towards operational costs at the rescue centre. Jules admitted baking was far from his forte, but he was

eager to find a way to contribute to the cause however he could. “I really just want to give back to Horsham PAWS because I’ve always loved cats and dogs and all creatures,” he said. “It’s really good seeing that people have contributed and want to help out.” Jules and his mother moved their sale stand to the Horsham PAWS’ op-shop on Firebrace Street to generate more interest.

Mrs Darrington said since the move, support from the community had almost doubled. “Having it at the opportunity shop gets a lot of foot traffic and we tend to see new faces every time,” she said. “So many people from the community have reached out to us, it’s been fantastic.” The mother and son team is planning a ‘Christmas themed’ bake sale for December 6. They will also have raffles.

Rupanyup students keeping busy Rupanyup Primary School staff and students enjoyed a busy Melbourne Cup day, participating in cross country and ‘crazy hat’ events. The students usually compete in cross country running at Murtoa with other Dunmunkle schools, however, they competed at Rupanyup this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. School business manager Natalie Robbins said students raced for their houses, with Dyer winning overall. “We were very impressed with everyone’s efforts,” she said. “We also enjoyed a fantastic parade of fancy and wacky hats. “Each class showed off their style to the others before staff made the difficult decision of who won in each room. “It was very tough, but in the P12 room, the winner was Zahra, in the 3-4 room the winner was Sophie and the 5-6 winner was Georgie.” Cross country winners: 11-12 boys, 1st Hugh, 2nd Archie, 3rd Jaxon; 11-12 girls, Emily, Abby, Hilary; 9-10, Lewis, Hamish, Casey; 7-8, Riley, Larnie; HIGH FASHION: Winners of Rupanyup Primary School’s Melbourne Cup Day hat parade, from left, Georgie, Sophie and Zahra. 5-6, Harry, Ella, Valeria.

Open communication is key WENDY BYWATERS FOR EAST WARD, HINDMARSH SHIRE COUNCIL BY-ELECTION I am a proud resident of Hindmarsh where I have lived, worked and raised my family. I’m passionate about working for the communities in our region. I am listening to the people of Dimboola community right now – meeting and calling people, hearing their concerns and issues which need to be addressed. It is my understanding that too many East Ward residents have not felt heard nor represented by council and this needs to change. The council is meant to work for the communities that they represent. If this is not happening, then it means the council is not functioning as a successful organisation, leaving community residents feeling let down and excluded as a result. I have vision and experience to advocate to state and federal funding bodies, for facilities and services for future generations. Hindmarsh council is responsible for maintaining, repairing and managing $160-million worth of public assets and facilities, including 3200 kilometres of roads valued at $120-million. The Hindmarsh 2020 Customer Satisfaction Survey noted the East Ward residents reported a significant decrease in their satisfaction of the council’s overall performance, from 70 in 2019 to 62 in 2020. The condition of local streets and footpaths has declined from 63 in 2019 to 56 in 2020. East Ward elderly support ser-

VOTE 1: Wendy Bywaters, right, is passionate about representing our community. vices performance was 74 in 2019 and has dropped to 70 in 2020. Recreational facilities performance in East Ward was 80 in 2019 and has declined to 74 in 2020. Waste management performance was 76 in 2019 and has been slashed to 70 in 2020. I have worked hard as a councillor from 2012-2016, and I understand very well the systemic challenges and frustrations facing residents. The community needs to come first and the council must be committed to deliver what is best for the community. I am committed to making this happen, to restore integrity in the council process and trust in its constituents. I am excited at the prospect of working for the people of the East Ward. In recent meetings with local residents, including those born in Dimboola and those who have made their home here, I am greatly reassured there is the necessary support and determination to turn this existing state of affairs upside down. I believe together we can over-

come challenges and create new opportunities, and develop local ideas and possibilities while retaining Dimboola’s integrity and character. Finally, it will be my honour and privilege to represent the farmers and smaller communities of East Ward, who have told me they have often felt neglected in the past. I promise that everyone, from any background, occupation, age or gender will be considered when using my influence and exercising my all-important vote. I am listening and working towards representing you all. Please feel free to get in touch via email at wendy4hindmarsh@ gmail.com or phone, on 0427 911 570. I pay my respect to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land I work on and acknowledge the unbroken connection to Country enshrined in their stories. Let’s learn from the past to care for the future. Authorised by Wendy Bywaters, 940 Kiata North Road, Glenlee 3418.

Turbo boost your retirement savings W

FINANCE

hen your mortgage and other financial commitments are manageable, it is usually time to put the pedal down on your superannuation.

Those prime income years, between age 40 and 50 in particular, should be used constructively. However, the task might not always be easy. Many couples choose to have children later and as a result, parents’ financial responsibilities can now often extend well into their 50s, even 60s. Furthermore, the earning opportunities for many people over age 50 often begin to decline. Other factors can also disrupt retirement savings planning – time out of the workforce to raise a family, periods of unemployment or extended illness are but a few.

Is there a logical solution?

Usually, the least painful and most disciplined option is to use a superannuation salary-sacrifice arrangement. For most employed people on high incomes this can represent a useful and straightforward method of bolstering retirement provisions. It works like this. You agree to forego a specified amount of future salary and in return your employer makes additional future super contributions for an equivalent amount. This means your extra long-term saving starts to accrue faster, pay by pay. ‘Sacrificing’ salary to super is also a tax-effective form of remuneration because if the arrangement is put together correctly, no personal income or fringe benefits tax is payable on the extra amount of contribution. You do need to keep in mind the impact of superannuation contribution limits. Consider this case study. Michael is 45 and he and his wife Marie have been working away at their mortgage for some time. Now they are

focus

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. Michael’s employer has been contributing 10 percent of his $110,000 remuneration package to superannuation – $11,000 per annum. Michael thinks that he might now be able to afford more, but he is not all that happy with the employer’s fund-investment options. He discusses the situation with Marie and their adviser. Together they agree Michael should set up a new super fund with a different provider and increase his contribution to 15 percent of salary. From the next fortnightly pay, Michael’s pre-tax salary is lower by $211.54, but the amount he actually receives will be lower by only $129.04 – since he will pay $82.50 less personal income tax as well. The $211.54 pre-tax amount was paid directly into Michael’s new super account. This means that his total after-tax super contributions for the next year will be $14,025 net instead of $9350, and he has been able to select a fund that meets his needs. Salary sacrifice to super is just one way in which you can enhance your retirement provisions. If you would like more information about the options, contact a licensed financial adviser who can assist you in determining what is right for you. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

IMPROVEMENTS: Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison inspects work on Tatyoon Road.

Tatyoon Road taking shape Work on Tatyoon Road is progressing, with municipal leaders anticipating the project to be completed ahead of schedule. The project has a total budget of $2,841,177 and started on October 5 with an anticipated completion date of March, 2021. But contractors hope to complete the job by Christmas if weather permits. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the road would be an asset to the community when finished. “It is looking excellent already. This first section is 8.8-kilometres long and will be increased to 6.2-metres wide, sealed and have improvements in drainage,” he said. The council and Federal Government’s Roads to Recovery Program have funded

the project. “Roads to Recovery is a great program from the Federal Government,” Dr Harrison said. “The additional funding has allowed for us to continue growing our infrastructure and roads. “Regional communities rely on these roads for the transport of agriculture and livestock. “Having wider and better roads allows for larger transports and will greatly improve the ability for our agriculturists to get their product to markets.” Dr Harrison said the council thanked the community for its patience during the road upgrade and apologised for any inconveniences caused while detours and road restrictions were in place.

Lots to discover New engines, upgraded tech, styling tweaks for facelifted Land Rover Discovery SUV

and Rover has continued its run of model updates with the announcement of a mid-life facelift for its Discovery sevenseat large SUV, introducing new Ingenium mild-hybrid engines, minor styling changes and an upgrade in tech and equipment.

Available to order now, the new range checks in at $99,900 plus onroad costs for the entry-level S D300, which marks a significant $27,044 increase over the outgoing range, however Land Rover claims buyers are compensated with $30,000 of extra value along with more powerful sixcylinder engines. The nine-variant range tops out at $118,600 for the R-Dynamic HSE P360, which is actually cheaper than the previous 3.0 V6 HSE Luxury

flagship, which asked $126,034. Fans will be able to distinguish the new Discovery by a number of small design changes, starting with new LED headlights that feature a daytime running light signature set lower into the headlight cluster. The revised front bumper features new side vents and a wider body-coloured graphic, while at the rear, LED tail-lights and a gloss black panel are new additions. Moving inside the vehicle, the new Discovery is treated to a redesigned centre console housing the latest version of Jaguar Land Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system, projected onto an 11.4-inch HD touchscreen display. The Pivi Pro system features dualsim technology, Apple CarPlay-Android Auto, two LTE modems and over-the-air software updates, pairing

with the standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster featuring 3D mapping and various customisation possibilities. A colour head-up display can be optioned, while a new four-spoke steering wheel and rear-seat tablet holders have been included. With the third-row seats stowed, the Discovery features up to 2485 litres of luggage volume, and 258 litres when all seven seats, which can be operated via the touchscreen by the Intelligent Seat Fold feature, are in place. Second-row seats have been redesigned for greater comfort, with better lateral support and longer and thicker cushions, while the second-row air vents have been relocated to provide better air flow. Arguably the biggest change to the new Discovery has been the introduc-

tion of a pair of inline six-cylinder Ingenium engines, replacing the 2.0-litre four-cylinder and 3.0-litre V6 diesel engines from the outgoing range. D300 diesel versions will be powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged sixpot developing 221kW and 650Nm from 1500-2500Nm, down slightly on the 225kW-700Nm from the outgoing V6. Meanwhile, petrol power has been reintroduced in the form of the P360, a 3.0-litre turbo inline six good for 265kW-500Nm from a wide 17505000rpm. Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and feature 48V mild-hybrid technology to help reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Land Rover’s Intelligent All-WheelDrive system is standard, as is the Terrain Response 2 off-road system that

has been bolstered with the addition of Wade mode. Off-roading is also made easier with the new ClearSight Ground View feature, which provides drivers with a view of the ground in front of the bonnet using forward-facing cameras, which can help identify pesky hidden obstacles. Three trim levels will be available on the range – S, SE and HSE – while the diesel can be had with either the basing or R-Dynamic bodykit. Petrol grades are R-Dynamic only. Ride comfort is ensured with standard air suspension and adaptive damping technology capable of reading the road ahead. To the end of October, Land Rover has sold 676 examples of the Discovery, down 34.8 percent over the same period in 2019. – Robbie Wallis

Hyundai extends Kona Electric range

yundai Motor Company Australia is primed and ready to launch an updated version of its Kona Electric small SUV in the first half of 2021, some 12 months after news of the update first broke in Europe.

Hyundai has given its Kona Electric range a facelift layered than the previous model, with the headlights retaining their position low down, just above the bumper. Other changes include narrower air intakes set within the front wheelarches, while the body cladding has been made body-coloured in an effort to complement the new-found sleekness of the front fascia. Just like the petrol versions, the new

Kona Electric is 40mm longer than the current model, while the rear end has been treated to a new ‘stretched’ taillight arrangement. Interior changes, meanwhile, have not been quite so drastic, with the biggest tweak here being the move to a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, while ambient lighting has been added to the sides of the footwells to em-

phasise the Kona Electric’s ‘lifestyle character’. Other new features include heated rear seats, two rear USB ports, an electronic park brake and a vast expansion of the standard Hyundai SmartSense safety suite. New to the Kona Electric in 2021 will be the standard inclusion of blindspot collision-avoidance assist, rear

As reported by GoAuto back in March, the Kona Electric is being treated to a couple of range-extending upgrades, connectivity updates and styling tweaks, the most significant of which being the upgraded tyre combination courtesy of Michelin, which has added a claimed 35km to the car’s effective driving range, now rated at up to 484km on the WLTP cycle. A series of other still-unspecified chassis tweaks were also tipped to be made, however there has been no confirmation of those from HMCA. What has been changed, however, is the Kona Electric’s styling, which has been made sleeker and sharper to match that of its petrol-powered siblings. Gone is the previously filled-inlooking front end, replaced by a streamlined and entirely flush new arrangement with the only recognisable feature carried over being the trapezoid lower chin and the rough layout of the headlights and daytime running lights. The shape and design of said lights have been made narrower and more

cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, leading vehicle departure alert, safe exit warning and rear seat alert, while the existing forward collisionavoidance assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, smart cruise control with stop and go, lane following assist, lane keeping assist, intelligent speed limit warning and driver attention warning carry over. No changes have been made under the bonnet or to any of the compact SUV’s running gear, meaning the familiar 150kW-395Nm outputs remain with the top speed pegged at 167kmh. Drive is sent to the front wheels only with the axle-mounted electric motor drawing its power from a 64kWh battery. Hyundai Motor Europe marketing and product vice-president AndreasChristoph Hofmann said the new Kona Electric shows ‘Hyundai is fully committed to zero-emissions driving, by providing our customers with enhanced driving assistance and safety features, making it an even more desirable package’. HMCA has sold 9276 Konas so far this year ending October, making it the third most popular model within the increasingly crowded sub-$40,000 compact SUV segment with a 12.4 percent sales share. – Callum Hunter

Room to move in new Eclipse

itsubishi Motors Australia Limited has detailed pricing and specification of its updated new Eclipse Cross, with the compact crossover being treated to a myriad of visual changes and standard equipment upgrades for the 2021 model year with only marginal price increases across the range.

Now starting from $30,290 plus onroad costs, the entry price for the base-model ES has risen by just $300, largely setting the trend for the rest of the range, with the biggest price increase belonging to the flagship Exceeds which have both gone up $1300. With its new Dynamic Shield front end, MMAL has brought the Eclipse Cross into line with the vast majority of its other models, while an extra 140mm has been added to its overall length, increasing both rear legroom and cargo space. In fact the Eclipse Cross has grown so much its dimensions now resemble that of a mid-sized SUV rather than a compact one, being just 5mm shorter than the current Mazda CX-5. Boot space has increased from 374 litres to 405 litres. Sticking with the rear of the car, the tailgate has also been given a workover to now feature just a single rear

window instead of the previous split arrangement, again bringing it more into line with the rest of the brand’s SUV range. Inside the cabin, the big news is the addition of a new 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which has been moved closer to the driver to improve ergonomics while the old touchpad control has been removed. Revisions have been made under the skin in order to improve steering linearity and ride comfort including beefier rear dampers, while all-wheeldrive versions score an updated version of MMAL’s ‘Super-All Wheel Control’ system. Standard equipment on the ES in-

cludes 18-inch alloy wheels, aforementioned 8.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay-Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity and DAB+ digital radio, paddle shifters, reversing camera, climate control, LED daytime running lights, audio streaming and voice control, rear roof spoiler, two USB ports, hill start assist, cruise control, four-speaker stereo system and a cargo blind. The LS variants build on the ES’ kit list, adding a smart key, LED fog lamps, one-touch start, rear parking sensors, privacy glass, express windows, rain sensing wipers, black roof rails, illuminated vanity mirror, dusk sensing headlights, heated power

folding mirrors, rear armrest with cup holders, automatic high beam, illuminated front door trim, six-speaker stereo, brake auto hold, leather-wrapped steering wheel and an electric park brake. New to the range for the 2021 model year is the mid-range Aspire, priced from $34,990. Described by MMAL product strategist Tony Dorrington as ‘the sweet spot’ of the range, the Aspire mimics the ES in being exclusively frontwheel drive and builds on the LS twins’ spec. Standard equipment on top of what has been outlined already consists of micro-suede and synthetic leather seat

trim, Mitsubishi power sound system, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, power adjustable driver’s seat, surround-view monitor, heated front seats, front parking sensors, leather door inserts, dual-zone climate control and electrochromatic rearview mirror. Finally at the top of the range are the Exceed twins, which add leather seat trim, LED headlights, power adjustable passenger seat, TomTom satellite navigation, double sunroof, driver’s seat back pocket, head-up display, heated steering wheel and rear seats and a black interior headlining. Standard safety gear on all models includes seven airbags, traction, stability and yaw controls as well as forward collision mitigation with each variant adding more features. All Eclipse Crosses are powered by the same turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine developing an unchanged 110kW-250Nm sent to the road via a continuously variable transmission. The range will be expanded next year with the addition of a plug-in hybrid variant, however timing has not yet been finalised by MMAL. MMAL has sold 3583 Eclipse Crosses so far this year ending October, accounting for 4.8 percent of the sub-$40,000 small SUV segment. – Callum Hunter

Leon Toy – a lifetime of meals BY DEAN LAWSON

he difference between the bustling streets of cosmopolitan Hong Kong and the rural climes of Warracknabeal are obviously considerable.

One has long been a heavily urbanised melting pot, the other a place of wide-open space and agriculture. Imagine just how amplified these differences would have been in the 1960s, especially for a wide-eyed 12-year-old who to that stage had only ever experienced life in the historic Asian city state. But the changing environment was one Horsham’s Leon Toy, now 71, had to quickly adapt to after making a lonely trip on his own to join up with extended family including his father and brothers in Australia. The Toys are Wimmera family icons and a success story, having left a profound footprint on regional society, initially with a market garden at

Warracknabeal and later in retail trade in Horsham. Mr Toy has decided it is time to turn off the cookers at his Toy’s Garden Restaurant in Horsham and seek new adventures. His departure from the restaurant business brings to a close almost half a century of vast experiences surrounding cuisine, entertainment, laughter, customers, hard work and ‘blood, sweat and tears’. He is selling his restaurant and gardens to pursue the next phase of his life, but took time out to chat with The Weekly Advertiser to reflect on his amazing life journey. Married to May Har and with adult children Victor, Magnolia and Melika, Mr Toy was born in China and moved to Hong Kong as a toddler. His father Stan travelled to Australia well before him, following in the footsteps of previous generations of the Toy family who were among the many Chinese gold diggers who had sought

their fortunes at Ararat’s Canton Lead. His mother Nin Haw initially stayed in Hong Kong, only venturing to Australia in later years to join up with the family. “My first memory of Australia came with the flight to Darwin. We had come out of a Chinese winter and when they opened the plane doors – ‘whoosh’ – I was hit with what was like hot oven air. The international airport was also a galvanised tin shed, quite different from concrete Hong Kong,” Mr Toy said. “We then flew to Sydney and my brother Damien, who with my eldest brother Joseph was already in Australia, met me and we caught the train to Melbourne. From there it was straight to Warracknabeal and into the market-garden business in Elizabeth Avenue near where Woodbine is now.”

Survival

Mr Toy said the family had to work hard ‘simply to survive’.

“The place we rented had no sewerage and no hot water – very primitive, nothing like in Hong Kong,” he said. “It was a big change. I didn’t know a word of English except ‘hello’, mum was still in Hong Kong and it was all hands-on work with vegetables handsown and harvested. “When I came home from school it was straight to work, there was no time for social life or sport, although I did play some footy at school.” The Toys supplied vegetables to customers across much of the Wimmera and also into Melbourne before the family branched out, Joseph working in a fruit shop in Horsham and Damien becoming a restaurateur in Melbourne. An illness to Damien led to the Toy family briefly shifting to Melbourne to explore life in the restaurant industry, but it soon returned to Warracknabeal and resumed the garden business. Mr Toy has natural artistic skills and

Restaurant

When he was 22, former Horsham chemist Gil Le Plastrier, through mutual connections, approached him with a suggestion to open a Chinese restaurant in Horsham. “He knew I was looking for a business and I soon acquired a shop site, the old Schwarz Bakery in Firebrace Street,” he said. “It was April 10, 1974. I was 24 when it opened. And as a result I brought the whole family over from Warracknabeal.”

at one stage contemplated pursuing these further as a profession. But instead, connections through his brother led to Mr Toy spending four years learning the restaurant trade in Brighton. “I started to study the theory side of art, but unfortunately found out you have to die before becoming famous and that’s not my thing,” he said with trademark humour.

and memories In the process of establishing his business, Mr Toy met his bride Mayhar during a trip to Hong Kong. “You know, we started with nothing. But in 18 months we had paid for our house in Baillie Street,” he said. Always in search of opportunity for his business, family and a chance to promote the attractions of his adopted home while exploiting his interest in art and culture, Mr Toy shifted his restaurant to a more spacious Stawell Road site in 1987. “I remember talking to former Horsham promotion officer Bettina Wells about what Horsham needed,” he said. “Horsham really didn’t have anything that great to attract visitors. “In my mind it had to be something man-made, so I went about making something.” The result was not only a large and busy restaurant, but also an expansive garden, laden with Mr Toy’s personal artistic touch. Leaving nothing to chance, Mr Toy

contracted professional landscape architects and then brought in an engineer to design a replica of China’s Great Wall. The garden has continued to be a work in progress.

Culture

Mr Toy said he had finally had enough of hard work. “I have no regrets and if I was 20 again I would love to keep it going. But that’s impossible,” he said. “Horsham has been really good to me and my family. “I have travelled a lot and it is one of the best regional cities in Australia. “There is a need for people in Horsham with foresight to keep things moving. “I wanted to bring some different culture to Horsham when there wasn’t much happening and hopefully I’ve played a key role in getting the ball rolling.” Mr Toy said he had seen a variety of different people come through his restaurant, from generations of fam-

ilies to all sorts of ‘curious’ visitors. He said he had served everyone from international film stars, national politicians and high-rolling business people to even a few occasional sinister and suspicious characters. But families were at the top of his list. “There has been such a large cross-section. As a restaurateur you get to talk to people and that’s what I’ve done,” he said. “I am a family person. My philosophy is that when you look after people, people will look after you.” Mr Toy thanked everyone, customers to friends, who had been part of his lifetime adventure.

Your Lucky Stars

with Kerry Kulkens

For the week November 22 - 28

^    a  ARIES:

LEO:

(March 21 - April 20)

SAGITTARIUS:

(July 23 - August 22)

Lucky Colour: White, Lucky Day: Friday Racing Numbers: 5.6.2.3, Lotto Numbers: 1.12.15.25.29.33 A change of lifestyle is on the cards. Friends could play a big part in your romantic affairs. Loved ones will be taking up a lot of your time. You should be successful at anything that you put your mind to. An accidentprone period coming up so be very careful. Tact and understanding could be needed with close associates as emotional problems could surface. Keep alert on the work scene as difficulties could surface.

Lucky Colour: Cream, Lucky Day: Tuesday Racing Numbers: 5.6.2.1, Lotto Numbers: 5.12.24.40.39.36 The best time to sort out personal problems is now. Get your advice from the experts rather than listening to well meaning friends who could be misguided. Don’t spend any money you haven’t got. Many could be changing house or jobs. Very easy to spend too much as the temptation is there. Partnerships affairs might have to be re-valued or better organised to be successful.

TAURUS:

(August 23 - September 23)

(November 23 - December 20)

Lucky Colour: Fawn, Lucky Day: Saturday Racing Numbers: 4.6.2.3, Lotto Numbers: 4.12.26.25.5.22 Career ventures should be successful. You should be meeting interesting and important people on the social scene. Love and business could mix successfully. It is much wiser not to defy convention during this period. Communications might not be reliable so make sure you cover your movements and watch your money handling or you could find yourself in situations you are not very keen to be in.

VIRGO:

(April 21 - May 20)

CAPRICORN:

Lucky Colour: Green, Lucky Day: Monday Racing Numbers: 4.6.2.5, Lotto Numbers: 1.12.15.29.34.40 Many will realise the true worth of their friends and social life should be enjoyable. New family members can bring a lot more joy into your life. You tend to gain trouble by trying to help others. Be very tactful as a clash of personalities can occur, so take great care in handling others. Finances with an older relative or friend can create difficulties.

Lucky Colour: Peach, Lucky Day: Friday Racing Numbers: 9.8.4.2, Lotto Numbers: 8.15.24.42.40.22 A strange situation could develop. Luck is with you and most will be attracted to the unusual. Most will be travelling more than usual and there could be a compromise with people you usually don’t agree with. People around you may be very difficult to cope with, maybe you should let them get into trouble and learn by themselves. Romance should soon pick up and for many a total commitment is possible.

GEMINI:

(September 24 - October 23)

(December 21 - January 19)

Lucky Colour: Pink, Lucky Day: Friday Racing Numbers: 2.6.2.1, Lotto Numbers: 2.13.25.24.40.33 A very successful period and your social life will be busy. There will be plenty of new and unusual friendships. Most will be busy improving themselves and their surroundings. Wiser to stay away from trouble and attend only to the urgent chores or you could end up going around in circles. Staying in the company of family and trusted friends can avoid an unwelcome intrusion to your privacy.

LIBRA:

(May 21 - June 21)

Lucky Colour: Silver, Lucky Day: Wednesday Racing Numbers: 1.3.5.8, Lotto Numbers: 1.12.24.40.9.44 You will need to be more responsive to the needs of others; most will be more in the social spotlight. Younger people should bring more pleasure into your life and you could be entertaining a lot more. Concentrate firmly on important chores don’t be sidetracked by romantic impulses. Your energy levels will soon go up with optimism and happy events with friends from the past coming up.

Lucky Colour: White, Lucky Day: Wednesday Racing Numbers: 8.6.4.2, Lotto Numbers: 8.12.40.25.29.19 Happy news is on its way. More responsibilities are involved. There are unexpected developments in a financial venture. Most will be getting rid of the unwanted objects in their lives. An unpredictable period coming up and most unexpected events could occur. Wiser to think very carefully before dedicating your time to anything that might not turn out to be worth it in the long run.

SCORPIO:

AQUARIUS:

(January 20 - February 19)

Lucky Colour: Dark Blue, Lucky Day: Friday Racing Numbers: 5.6.3.2, Lotto Numbers: 5.12.23.36.39.30 Should be a boost to your financial affairs, most could be feeling rather bored with their usual routine. Someone usually dependable could be annoying you and this could threaten an otherwise good friendship. Your affairs should start to liven up a bit, romance could surprise you. Better to get advice rather than get involved in a situation you do not know how to handle. Well-meaning friends could take up too much of your time.

(October 24 - November 22)

CANCER:

(June 22 - July 22)

Lucky Colour: White, Lucky Day: Friday Racing Numbers: 2.3.6.5, Lotto Numbers: 2.13.5.45.40.33 It is a lucky period for money although some of the decisions you have to make may not be easy. Many could be taking up an entirely new lifestyle. Not the time to take chances on anything of importance everything should be checked. Travel plans could be underway and for many, family extensions. For the eligible the right one could come along.

Lucky Colour: Blue, Lucky Day: Monday Racing Numbers: 9.6.2.1, Lotto Numbers: 1.12.15.29.34.36 Financial affairs could be keeping you busier than usual. There are excellent opportunities to expand present activities. Some could become involved in a new and exciting romantic relationship. Do not overdo the financial scene or pay out of turn. Discretion on all levels or things can get out of hand, so before you can say that you are not that sort of person you could be. There is lots of action on the social scene.

Dad and I had some great times. I always looked up to him. When I moved into my own place he was sad to see me go, but always called around to see if I was okay. He was the kind of guy who always offered advice, but never expected me to take it. I knew Dad wouldn’t be around forever, and the day I expected to be sad turned out to be a true celebration of his life I’ll cherish forever. I’m so glad I have someone who cared to organise it.

Information about fire restrictions within the Country Area of Victoria can be obtained from Another Miracle www.cfa.vic.gov.au, your local CFA District Office or John 5:1-18 Municipal Fire Prevention Officer. I have already spoken on miracles, their nature and power, this month and here we have another. One of the things

that God spoke to me about in this passage was what the religious rulers did, their attitude. Rather than celebrating and rejoicing in this miracle of a man being healed they missed the point all together, they chose to go down a rabbit hole that lead them astray. They were so tied down in rules and regulations that were unfair they couldn’t see the miracle that was in front of them. We need to make sure we don’t do the same, that we see the big picture. One of the ways to do this is to stop and reflect on what God is doing in our life and the life of others. I believe ifChief we do this we will–see and appreciate / Officer CFA celebrate the miracles that occur on a daily basis. We also need to know “God loves broken people.” Let me say that again “God loves broken people”. We are told by Jesus that he came to heal the sick (Matt 2:17), not those who are righteous but those who are unwell. The man that was healed was seen on the outer and later accused of being a sinner, unwell. He was an outcast because he didn’t fit the mould, the rules and regulations but this man is the very type of person Jesus came to help, to save. We are all the very people he came to bring the miracle of salvation to, will we accept this miracle? Captain Greg Turnbull - The Salvation Army, Ararat / Stawell

Welcome return to winning form C

BY TONY LOGAN

oncongella owners Kenneth and Gaylene Taylor enjoyed a welcome return to the winner’s circle when their eight-year-old gelding Kempseys Delight captured the Vicbred $12,000 First Win Bonus Pace at Horsham Racing Centre.

Driver Denbeigh Wade made full use of Kempseys Delight’s gate speed to quickly cross to the lead and from thereon dictated the tempo of the 2200-metre contest in blustery conditions. Given a mid-race breather, Kempsey’s Delight had plenty in reserve for the business end of the race and dashed home in 28.6 seconds to score by four metres from Dad’s My Hero – Connor Clarke. The Taylors have had plenty of fun over the past five years with the veteran of 116 starts, which has now won six races and 35 minor placings. Moyreisk owned and trained six-year-old gelding Namoscar set a new track record with his 13-metre victory in a $7000 trot at last week’s Horsham meeting. The Ainsworth family’s in-form squaregaiter slashed 1.9 seconds off the 2200-metre mobile start for trotters, set by Speedy Atom back in March 2008, with a career-best performance. Driver Ashley Ainsworth settled Namoscar

towards the rear of the field from his extreme outside second line draw and was content to follow the solid tempo set by David Murphy with Michaelangelo at the head of affairs. Still a long way back with 400 metres to go, Namoscar quickly worked forward four, then five wide to have the race in its keeping halfway down the home stretch. With Ainsworth sitting quietly, Namoscar raced away to score by 13 metres in a rate of 2:01.6 and record his fifth win from 27 starts. On the strength of that performance Namoscar should give owner Katrina and co-trainers Barry and Ashley plenty more to look forward to. Charlton trainer Mark Boyle has done a mighty job to successfully manage the return to racing of six-year-old gelding Bruised Ego, winner of The Storm Inside @ Alabar Pace at Horsham, with Greg Sugars in the sulky. It was the second start since Bruised Ego’s comeback after an injury-enforced absence of more than two-and-a-half years. After settling midfield from the second line draw, Sugars eased Bruised Ego three wide at the 600-metre mark, then four wide turning for home and still under a tight hold had them covered at the top of the straight. Raced by the Major Miracle Syndicate, Bruised Ego has now won six races from only 16 starts and is the type that could easily go on to perform in stronger company.

Yendall swoops home in a thriller Horsham jockey Dean Yendall enjoyed Group 2 success at Sandown on Saturday, saluting in the $250,000 Ladbrokes Sandown Guineas in a thriller. Yendall swooped home to win aboard Allibor for Warrnambool trainer Symon Wilde, coming from the rear of the field to get the better of Sydney filly Sweet Reply, $2.70 favourite, by a halfhead. The win was Allibor’s first in four career races and the threeyear-old gelding benefitted from the late scratching of red-hot favourite Aysar. Yendall said after the race the son of All Too Hard had a prom-

ising future. “My bloke was fully lost and still learning his caper, he’s screaming raw,” he said. The step up in distance to 1600 metres suited Allibor, which previously finished fourth in a 1400-metre race at Flemington. Wimmera racegoers will be keen to return to the country cup circuit next year, after government restrictions have kept fans away from the track. One of western Victoria’s most popular race days was run and won on Saturday, with Hamilton-trained Tan Check claiming the $45,000 Dunkeld Cup. The up-and-coming stayer, ridden by Dean Holland, delivered

trainer James Bull’s seventh career victory – third with the sixyear-old gelding. The action moved to Donald on Sunday for the $70,000 bet365 Donald Cup. Hoop Zac Spain saluted aboard Vungers in the 1600-metre feature for Bendigo trainer Brandon Hearps, leading from go to woah to win by three lengths. The Wimmera has two Christmas race meetings scheduled for next month, at Stawell on December 5 and Horsham on December 20. Nhill Cup Day is on Boxing Day, December 26.

Association honours basketball BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Amateur Basketball Association has honoured seven stalwarts of the sport with ‘long overdue’ life memberships.

Tim Pickert

Basketball leaders have been celebrating the achievements of several key members on social media throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. President Jon Fitzgerald announced Tony Sleep, Nicole ‘Herb’ Lakin, Gareth Hiscock, Tim Pickert and Cam Bruce had earned life-member status at the organisation’s annual meeting in June. He said the committee added Gary Bird and Barry McTaggart to the prestigious list at its latest meeting. “Previously the rules stated life members could only be nominated at annual meetings, but we’ve changed the rule this year so they can be nominated at any meeting,” he said. “This allows us to honour people in a more timely fashion. Gary and Barry haven’t been that well so it’s been great to be able to make sure they receive the recognition they deserve.” Mr Fitzgerald, who took over as president earlier this year, said it was an exciting time for the association, which had not presented a life membership since 2005. “We’re thrilled to do it now and to announce all seven this year has been really special,” he said.

“Unfortunately, because of COVID, the recipients have only received a congratulatory phone call, but we will be putting together some proper recognition for them when we can. “In the past, life members have received a pin they can wear, which is something we are looking into.” Mr Fitzgerald said it was wonderful to see so many aspects of the sporting association represented among the recipients. “Tim and Cam are two of our more well-known faces. Tim has played more than 300 games and Cam more than 200. They’ve both coached as well and it’s great to recognise them,” he said. “Tony and Herb have both done a lot of coaching and work off the court, as has Gareth – he’s actually done a lot behind the scenes that you would never know about. “Gary and Barry have both helped build up Horsham basketball to where it is now. “Barry actually coached me as a junior and Gary has done a lot for women’s basketball and players with a disability. “It’s great that they can finally be recognised for all they have done. All of our new life members have been wonderful assets for the association and have achieved so much on and off the court. “For some, the recognition is well

overdue and I’m so glad we’ve been able to do it now. “To announce seven life members in one year is pretty special and now they’ll have their names up in the stadium for the years to come.” New life members – Gary Bird: Heavily involved in HABA throughout the 1990s as a coach and committee member. He was president in 1995, was a foundation member of Grampians region ‘players with a disability’, coached state teams for players with a disability and was the founding director of the Baby Hellcats Club in 1993. Represented Victoria Country on a state coaches selection committee, state council and was a delegate to Basketball Australia for players with a disability. Barry McTaggart: Refereed from 1978 to 1985 and coached junior representative sides over 30 years. Twice coached Victoria Country teams in Australian Country Championships to gold medals and coached the Hornets senior team to a championship after stepping into the role mid-season. Tony Sleep: Played for about 26 years and refereed since 1982, including at state championships. Sleep has a long record of domestic coaching, representative coaching since 2012 and coached the CBL women’s team in 2019. He is head coach of the southwest academy, was representative director from 201319, a board member and had roles

Juniors back training at stadium Young basketballers have returned to training at Horsham Basketball Stadium following a long break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Horsham Amateur Basketball Association president Jon Fitzgerald said he was thrilled to throw open the stadium doors following easing government restrictions at the start of the month. “It feels amazing – it is

so good to be back,” he said. “There has been a lot of work done behind the scenes to get prepared and now we’re finally allowed back in the stadium again, which is great.” Mr Fitzgerald said the association had a COVID plan and was abiding by Basketball Victoria guidelines. “At the moment we are only allowed to have ju-

niors for non-contact training, but we’re hoping with the number of active COVID-19 cases continuing to drop, that we will be able to have full-on training in the not-too-distant future,” he said. He said if things continued to go well, basketball leaders would then look to select junior representative teams as well as senior Horsham Hornets teams. Registrations for a junior

summer competition are now open, online at register.horshambasketball. com.au. Domestic training is open to youth registered for the summer competition, which will run across terms one and two next year. People can follow Horsham Basketball on Facebook for updates. – Sarah Matthews

West Wimmera setting the pace BY DEAN LAWSON

confidence-flushed West Wimmera team will continue to pursue a strong start to Horsham Cricket Association’s A Grade season when it meets RupanyupMinyip on Saturday.

The Westerners have set the early pace in the competition with two straight wins and are now chasing a third. West Wimmera scored a crushing one-day-game win over Horsham Saints last week, clipping 6-195 at Horsham’s Coughlin Park turf before routing the Saints for 66. Mitch Dahlenburg, 76, and Nathan Alexander, 24, set the tune with a 45-run opening stand and then overcame the cheap loss of Austin Smith, with Brady Alexander, 46, joining Dahlenburg at the wicket. The Westerners then shared the spoils as they rattled home to victory. Only Shefat Rahman proved defiant for the Saints with an un-

beaten 17. The result followed West Wimmera’s first-round win over Homers and it now meets a Rupanyup-Minyip team licking its wounds from a loss to Jung Tigers. The Blue Panthers’ 112 at Rupanyup, despite 30 from opener Jake Leith, was never enough to defend and the young Tigers took full advantage. Tigers captain Angus Adams captured three wickets and then helped set the platform for response, making 26 in a 62run opening stand with Josiah Mock. Mock, 39, and Brett Jensz, 44, were unbeaten when they passed the target. The Tigers, who lost to Noradjuha-Toolondo in the season opener, now meet old rival Homers at Horsham City Oval. Homers bounced back from a first-round loss to beat Noradjuha-Toolondo on Saturday, responding to the Bullants’ 100 at Horsham Sunnyside with 5-103. The Pigeons shared in the bowling spoils, regularly captur-

ing wickets with only Brendan Ward providing defiance down the list with 26 for the Bullants. Chaminda Gamage, 38, and Nathan Koenig, an unbeaten and dashing 45 in the middle order, then steered the Pigeons to victory. This week: Jung Tigers v Homers, Horsham City Oval, Noradjuha-Toolondo v Horsham Saints at Noradjuha, West Wimmera v Rupanyup-Minyip, Davis Park, Nhill. Last week: Jung Tigers 1-118 (B. Jensz 44no, J. Mock 39no, A. Adams 26) d Rupanyup-Minyip 112 (A. Adams 3-12), Homers 5-103 (N. Koenig 45no, C. Gamage 38) d Noradjuha-Toolondo 100 (B. Ward 26), West Wimmera 6-196 (M. Dahlenburg 76, B. Alexander 46) d Horsham Saints 66. Ladder: West Wimmera 12 points, 2.25 percent; Jung Tigers 6, 1.47; Homers 6, 1.21; Noradjuha-Toolondo 6, 0.93; Rupanyup-Minyip 6, 0.80; Horsham Saints 0, 0.30.

T20 cup up for grabs

FORM: Abby Griffiths, Wimmera Mallee Belles, sends down a ball.

Picture: AMANDA REID

Horsham Sixers to make debut After a successful opening round at Donald, Wimmera Girls Cricket League players will turn their attention to Horsham’s Dudley Cornell Park for round two on Sunday. Newcomer Stawell Strikers debuted on a high note, finishing with 7-125 to defeat Horsham Hurricanes, 5-120.

Hurricanes’ Georgia BakerMiller made 28 runs and captured three wickets, but it was not enough to stop the Strikers from claiming victory. Wimmera-Mallee Belles made 6-145, with opener Maddison Fitzpatrick contributing 41 runs. She also claimed three wickets, as did team-mate Bridie Reid, as

the Belles overcame Wimmera Roos, 9-106. Lilly Schorback was the Roos’ best, capturing four wickets and making 18 runs. This week, Horsham Sixers will enjoy its first taste of the season, against the Strikers, and the Hurricanes will meet the Belles. The Roos have a bye.

After rounds three and four of Grampians Cricket Association’s Henry Gunstone Cup, three teams – Buangor-Tatyoon, St Andrews and Swifts-Great Western – are locked on two wins each. Unfortunately for St Andrews, Buangor-Tatyoon and Swifts-Great Western have a game in hand and a much better percentage, so it is difficult to see either of these sides losing to such a degree that their percentage will drop below that of St Andrews. This will leave a Hawks-Combine clash for the cup, with Stawell’s Central Park the most likely venue for a 1pm start on Sunday. Saturday will feature round five of the cup, with Swifts-Great Western taking on Youth Club at Central Park and Buangor-Tatyoon against Pomonal at Tatyoon. St Andrews has the bye. Round-three games resulted in the Saints, 3-93, having a solid win over the Combine, 5-91. The Saints’ victory was on the back of a Tom Mills 63. It took until the last over, but the Combine had not made enough runs. Best of the Saints bowlers was James Hosking, 2-8 off his four overs. At Gordon Street, an undermanned Youth Club, 82, was comfortably beaten by Buangor-Tatyoon, 3-94. The match highlight belonged to Zander McDougall with 3-14. Round four featured anticipated finalists Buangor-Tatyoon and Swifts-Great Western facing off at Gordon Street, which resulted in a big win to the Combine, 1-157,

over the Hawks, 8-96. The feature of this match was the batting of the respective captains, Sam Cocks, Swifts-Great Western, 82, with four fours and three sixes, and Jarrod Blandford, Buangor-Tatyoon, 54 not out. In the other match, Saints captain Tom Mills again fired with the bat, scoring 47 to lead his side to 6-126 to easily defeat Pomonal, which batted one-short to reach 58. Leading bowler for the Saints was Sam Summers with 3-9. Looking at round five it is difficult to see Pomonal overcoming the Hawks. Pomonal has so far disappointed with the bat and runs is the name of the game in T20 cricket. Looking at the other match, it is a replay of last year’s season final, although in a vastly different format – 20 overs instead of three days. Youth Club’s Nic Baird is yet to really fire, and if he does, it will be game on. This week: T20 Henry Gunstone Cup, Swifts-Great Western v Youth Club at Stawell’s Central Park, Buangor-Tatyoon v Pomonal at Tatyoon, St Andrews, bye. Last week: St Andrews 3-93 (T. Mills 63no) d Swifts-Great Western 5-91 (J. Seeary 25, N. Sibson 21), Buangor-Tatyoon 3-94 (J. Bates 27, J. Phillips 26) d Youth Club 82 (B. Taylor 26, N. Baird 22no; A McDougall 3-14), Swifts-Great Western 1-157 (S. Cocks 83, J. Seeary 35no, R. Peters 35no) d Buangor-Tatyoon 8-98 (J. Blandford 43no), St Andrews 7-126 (T. Mills 47, R. Taylor 25) d Pomonal 9-58 (S. Summers 3-9). – One Short

Top-of-the-table clash R

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ound seven of Central Wimmera Tennis Association’s pennant competition gives the option of three hard-fought contests, headlined by a top-of-the-table clash between Drung South and Horsham Lawn. Drung South remains undefeated this season, while Lawn has dropped two of six matches. The last time the sides met, Drung South won all bar three sets and Lawn will need to pull out something special to go one better at home on Saturday. Lawn was a cut above third-placed Kalkee last week, winning by six sets, 9-82 to 3-47. No Kee won more than one set for the day, although Jeff Friberg scored a clinical singles win 8-1 and Hayley Thomas and Kirby Knight snared their doubles encounter 8-2. Kalkee has a revolving line-up this season but could use its big guns when it takes on fourth-placed St Michaels. The Saints are nipping at the Kees’ heels, trailing by four points. The last time the sides met, in round three, the Kees won by four sets. The Saints enjoyed a stellar day on the court last week, too strong for Central Park, 10-91 to 2-47. Central Park enjoyed some success later in the afternoon, with Ross McIntyre and Byron Lang and Blair Penrose and Holly Nuske collecting doubles sets. Kassie Peachey and Marli Pymer helped

SIGHTS SET: Ross McIntyre is hoping to lead Central Park to its first victory of the pennant season when the side meets Homers at Haven on Saturday. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER get the Saints off to a good start with an 8-1 victory. Central Park has its best opportunity to enjoy an overall win in some time when it meets Homers at Haven. Homers won their last showdown on games and Central Park will be out to turn

the tables and get on the board. Homers are coming off a tough loss to Drung South, with the competition benchmark winning 12-96 to 0-26. Ladder: Drung South 24 points, Horsham Lawn 16, Kalkee 16, St Michaels 12, Homers 4, Central Park 0.

Leader secures spot Round three of the Stawell Tennis Club Friday Night Competition saw Stawell Toyota cement its spot atop the ladder with a tight victory. The night was played in perfect conditions, with Mitre 10 also displaying its premiership credentials with a comfortable win. Mitre 10 has leapfrogged Carey Covers for the all-important second position on the ladder, following a 13150 to 11-134 triumph. Carey Covers’ night got off to a poor start, with inspirational skipper Madi Freeland struggling early with a shoulder injury, before finally succumbing to the ailment halfway through her second set, calling it a night. Mitre 10 number-three man Leon Monaghan again demonstrated to onlookers what can be achieved with a bit of practice, winning all three sets. Opposition brains trusts will need to pay closer attention to Jemima Harney in future, with the youngster again going through the night unbeaten, while Richard Dodds was quite animated yet solid in his much-anticipated return to the court. Theo Browne and Hugh Carey were the shining lights for Carey Covers, while Carel

Chang’s free coaching lessons in the past are starting to pay handsome dividends. Stawell Toyota continues to enjoy the view on top of the ladder, however, was required to dig deep to get over the line against a determined Stawell Goldmine outfit. The final score line read, Stawell Toyota 13-143 defeated Stawell Goldmine 11-135. Stawell Toyota skipper Blair Hart again led from the front, but it was a young fella rocking a mullet his old man is quite envious of, who stole the show. Jonah O’Shannessy was unable to put a foot wrong, leaving his hapless opponents in his wake on the way to three consecutive 8-2 victories. Lexi Collins also found form, winning all her matches on the evening. For bottom placed Stawell Goldmine, Fraser Dunn and Elise Monaghan tried valiantly to lift their squad across the line, however fell just short and will look forward to next week, as they continue to go in search of that elusive first win. Ladder: Stawell Toyota 55 points, O’Jones Mitre 10 41, Carey Covers 39, Stawell Goldmine 33. – Joel Freeland

Going for gold H

orsham’s Maggie Heinrich took up rowing only three years ago and already has her sights set on competing at an elite level.

Maggie, 16, starred at the 2020 Rowing Victoria Schools Ballarat Regatta on November 7, winning a gold medal in record time. The St Brigid’s College student triumphed in the female open single sculls 1000-metre final, finishing with a time of 3:39 to beat the state time of 4:10. Maggie said she was thrilled with her win. “I’m always very nervous before my races, but once I get there, I just zone out and don’t worry about it,” she said. The regatta, on Lake Wendouree, was the first Rowing Victoria competition of the season. Usually open to schools across the state, it was restricted to regional schools this year due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions on Melbourne. Maggie said COVID-safe regulations meant rowers had to remain on the water between heats, semi-finals and finals. “It was eight degrees but it felt like one degree, it was so cold,” she said. “We couldn’t go back to the dock – we had to stay on the lake and it was really windy.” But her discomfort paid off and Maggie is now preparing for a Geelong regatta on Saturday. The event, on the Barwon River, features

school and club events. Outside of school rowing, Maggie competes with Horsham Rowing Club. “One of mum’s friends is a rower and she asked if I’d like to go down and have a go,” she said. “But I was too young at the time, as you have to be 13. Once I turned 13, I went down and I just loved it. I’ve been rowing ever since. “I try to get down to the river to train three times a week. Sometimes work gets in the way but I also like to go early in the mornings. That will get a bit easier as the weather gets warmer.” Maggie, who is coached by Bruce McInnes, mainly competes in single sculls. She sometimes competes in pairs and quads competitions and has coxed for masters squads. Maggie recently started rowing in pairs events with newcomer Anna Sudholz. Both will compete in Geelong at the weekend. “I’m also hoping to compete at the Hamilton regatta on December 7 and 8,” Maggie said. She said she hoped to advance her rowing and had her eye on competing at the Sydney International Rowing Regatta. The regatta combines Australian Open Rowing Championships, Australia Open School Rowing Championships and the King’s and Queen’s Cups Interstate Regatta. “One of my goals for the future is to get into state and national rowing teams,” Maggie said.
