Broad resigns Federal Member for Mallee Andrew Broad has withdrawn his nomination to contest the Federal Election next year.

Mr Broad, embroiled in allegations of serious misconduct, informed the president of the Victorian Division of the Nationals of his decision yesterday.

Mr Broad had already resigned his ministerial post as Assistant Minister to Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack, a resignation Mr McCormack had accepted.

Mr Broad said in a prepared statement that he would continue to work for his community as their federal representative until the next election.

“After recent media stories about my private life, it is clear that the people of Mallee will be best served in the next parliament by a different Nationals candidate,” he said.

“I want to acknowledge and thank my family, my staff, Nationals members and the community for their support of me. I have done my best and at times we have achieved good things, but I have also let them down.

“I have given 10 years of my life to serving regional Australia. I am blessed to have represented the Mallee, and I am proud of what we have delivered together.”

Mr McCormack said due to the nature of the allegations, it was appropriate for Mr Broad to resign from his ministerial responsibilities and he had made the right decision to stand aside.

“In doing so he has accepted the sort of behaviour, which has prompted his decision, is inappropriate and unacceptable,” he said.

“Matters regarding Mallee pre-selection, as always, are for the Nationals’ local branches to decide.”

Minyip film boon

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

T

he tiny wheatbelt town of Minyip gained national prominence in the 1980s and ’90s as the setting for the television series The Flying Doctors.

It now appears ready to make the leap from the small screen to the silver screen in 2019.

Production of a film adaptation of author Jane Harper’s novel The Dry is expected to begin in Minyip on February 28.

Filmmakers have selected the town’s iconic Club Hotel – which featured heavily in The Flying Doctors – as a

shooting location for the international production, which will star Australian film icon Eric Bana.

Minyip’s Emma’s Cafe proprietor Dale Maggs has offered the cafe as a headquarters for the production.

He confirmed a production team, including a producer, assistant director and cinematographer, would travel to the town today, where he expected them to officially announce Minyip as a location for the film.

“I got a text from the site co-ordinator saying they were coming down,” he said.

“She has pretty much confirmed it

will be in Minyip, but they haven’t announced it officially yet.

“As far as I know, the selection process has been over the past month and a half.

“They’ve just fallen in love with the ambience of the old Club Hotel, the layout of the rooms and the fact it hasn’t been touched in years.

“As they said, it’s a remarkable building.”

Mr Maggs said Bana – an executive producer for the project – and a production crew had been in the Wimmera scouting locations on December 7 and had stopped at Emma’s Cafe.

“We had a bit of chat and they spent half an hour in the shop and asked us little questions about our town, and in particular, the hotel,” he said.

“I said I’d contact them with the details of the owner, which I did.

“I had a good conversation with the owner about what their needs were, and the owner agreed to have the production crew come in and have a look at the premises.

“They’re very, very happy with what they’ve seen in Minyip.

“They have some other locations – Beulah and Murtoa – which they’ve selected.”

Mr Maggs said producers and members of the film’s art department had also returned to Minyip on Saturday for a three-hour meeting.

The Dry is set to be the first major film production in the Wimmera since The Dressmaker in 2015.

It will also be Bana’s first role in an Australian film since the critically acclaimed 2007 drama Romulus, My Father.

The film will be produced by Bruna Papandrea, Jodi Matterson and Steve Hutensky for Papandrea’s production company Made Up Stories.

Campus nursing cohort to grow A

BY DEAN LAWSON

major influx of nursing students for next year is set to further build on the health-industry training credentials of Federation University Australia’s Wimmera campus.

Campus head Geoff Lord confirmed 2019 enrolments for first-year students studying Diploma of Nursing courses had doubled on last year.

He said the offer of free TAFE courses had been a major catalyst for greater community interest in study at the Wimmera campus.

“So much so that we are confident of filling three student cohorts for

Diploma of Nursing, an overall student group of about 75, as well as a 25-student cohort for Certificate III in Individual Support,” he said.

“That’s about double the intake on 2018.

“There has been a massive surge in interest and we have had to work solidly through applications to make sure students have all course-entry requirements.”

Associate Professor Lord said in response to the demand and as part of overall planning, the campus would increase the nursing laboratory space at its Baillie Street site in Horsham to five extra beds.

“We’re increasing our teaching work spaces from one to two, each with five beds and we’re also going to be spending time during the next few months converting a computer lab space into a 40-person classroom, specifically to accommodate nursing training,” he said.

Partnerships

Prof Lord said the university had been working closely with major healthcare groups and service providers across western Victoria, particularly in the Wimmera and southern Mallee, to bring the changes to fruition.

“We’ve partnered with Grampians Regional Public Hospital CEOs

Group Workforce sub-committee and, as a result, Fed Uni is providing many home-grown graduates to work directly in the region,” he said.

“Critically, the majority of these people have already established families in the region and-or are already in the workforce.

“So it is not only the the health services that are benefitting from a graduating nursing workforce, but also overall regional sustainability.

“What it tells us is that the Wimmera campus of Federation University Australia is offering education and training that is in demand locally as well as statewide and beyond.”

Prof Lord predicted even more promising news from the campus in the new year.

“We’re looking forward to a very busy and productive new year,” he said.

Across the board, Federation University has received about 2500 inquiries for free TAFE courses, and across the state the program has attracted around 52,000 inquiries to eligible TAFE and dual-sector universities.

Statewide, the highest demand for free TAFE courses has been in Diploma of Nursing, Community Services and Accounting and Bookkeeping courses.

Labor appeals Ripon result

Intrigue surrounding the election result of Victoria’s most marginal seat of Ripon is far from over with confirmation Victorian Labor will appeal the outcome.

Victorian Labor marginal seats director Kosmos Samaras said his party would be submitting an appeal to the Court of Disputed Returns for another Ripon recount.

“Victorian Labor is not satisfied that a full recount was performed. A recount should involve a full re-examination of all ballot papers and should follow the same process as the original count,” he said.

Liberal candidate Louise Staley, after a lengthy wait and recounting period following the state election, retained the seat by only 15 votes from Labor candidate Sarah De Santis.

The Victorian Coalition has since announced Ms Staley as its shadow treasurer.

Ripon district includes the cities of Ararat and Stawell.

Minyip’s Club Hotel selected for Bana film From page 1 Papandrea has a history of collaboration with American film star Reese Witherspoon, and Mr Maggs said Witherspoon’s production company, Pacific Standard, would also be involved in the project.

“We may even have Reese Witherspoon come out while the production is being done,” he said.

Robert Connolly, whose credits include Balibo and Paper Planes, will direct the film.

It will be financed in part by Film Victoria in association with Screen Australia, and distributed by Roadshow Films in Australia and New Zealand.

Film Victoria estimated the production would bring more than $8-million into the state, including $1.2-million into regional Victoria.

It expects the 38-day shoot to create 162 jobs for Victorian crew members.

Yarriambiack Shire councillor Corinne Heintz said a major film pro-

duction would be a boon for Minyip.

“The town hasn’t been filmed in since The Flying Doctors, so it’s quite a pleasure to find out about this,” she said.

“I think this will be a really positive thing for the town if this movie becomes an Australian icon, as many Australian movies now do – particularly those that are filmed in the outback. People seem to be fascinated by it.

“If it becomes an icon and part of it

The Dry is a crime mystery set in the fictional town of Kiewarra.

Protagonist Aaron Falk, to be played

by Bana, is drawn into an investigation after returning home to attend the funeral of his childhood best friend, who allegedly killed his wife and child before killing himself.

Connolly said he was eager to film in a rural setting.

Regional power potential builds R

BY DEAN LAWSON

ecommendations by the group responsible for Australia’s largest electricity market are set to open the door for further growth in western Victoria’s burgeoning renewable-energy sector.

An Australian Energy Market Operator preference in improving transmission capacity in the region includes upgrading the electrical network to the south-east Wimmera.

The proposal is designed to increase the capacity of the western Victorian transmission network by about 1200 mega volt-amperes and allow for extra energy-generation connections in the region.

It is now up to governments to decide whether they will accept the AEMO’s recommendation.

AEMO planning and forecasting executive general manager David Swift said western Victoria had become at-

tractive for new-generation projects due to solar and wind resources in the area.

“Around 2000 megawatts of new generation has been committed in the region by 2020,” he said.

“Based on proposed future projects and the State Government’s renewable energy target, AEMO projects a further 3000 megawatts is likely in the region by 2025.

“However, without adequate capacity on the 220-kilovolt transmission network, generators connecting to this part of the network will need to be heavily constrained to maintain power flows within safe limits. This could impact on electricity prices over the long term.”

Mr Swift said the western Victorian project was the first step in a much larger, transmission infrastructure plan to assess and co-ordinate future investment and development around the National Electricity Market.

“Strategic planning and co-ordination of our power system is critical to making smart, informed decisions for the long-term interests of Australian energy consumers,” he said.

“AEMO is working with industry, governments and interested parties to make sure we have the best transmission infrastructure in place to efficiently accommodate increasing levels of generation in western Victoria.

“This is so that we can continue to deliver affordable, reliable and secure energy to consumers, now and in the future.”

AEMO’s development preference is consistent with a long‑term transmission network development plan for the NEM outlined in the 2018 Integrated System Plan, endorsed by Council of Australian Governments.

Wimmera Development Association has been lobbying for a major upgrade to electrical infrastructure in the region.

This is based on an understanding the network will be close to its capacity after construction of Murra Warra Wind Farm north of Horsham.

The AEMO option includes shortterm measures, up to 2021, to include minor augmentation or strengthening of a 220kV transmission network along Red Cliffs-Bendigo and Moorabool-Ballarat-Terang lines.

Its recommendation for major transmission augmentation is in two steps – new 220kV double circuit transmission lines from Ballarat to Bulgana near Great Western by 2024 and new 500kV double circuit transmission lines from Sydenham to Ballarat by 2025.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Ralph Kenyon said the plan represented the first part of an upgraded link between the Wimmera to the main Victorian grid.

“WDA has been lobbying for guarantees the transmission network across the region can cope with an

increase in energy generation in the Wimmera and southern Mallee. This is a critical step,” he said.

“The hope is that government will adopt this option and WDA will be submitting comments on the project draft.

“We don’t expect it to happen overnight, but we do expect a continual roll-out of infrastructure upgrades in transmission capability – so existing renewable developments can continue and further opportunities are opened.

“It’s a multi-million-dollar development, which will take time, but we expect successful governments will continue to fund these project plans.

“It’s a significant milestone in that they have now put on paper time scales and plans for the commencement of power line upgrades.

“It is short of a guarantee of a future region-wide transmission upgrade.

But it’s well on the way.”

PUBLIC NOTICES 19 December 2018

Closure over the holiday period Residents are advised that customer service at Council’s Civic Centre in Roberts Ave will close on Monday 24 December 2018 at 4pm and will reopen on Wednesday 2 January 2018 at 8.30am.

On behalf of the Horsham Rural City Council, we thank you for your support during 2018. Our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.

No waste collection Tuesday Council would like to remind all residents and businesses that there will be no waste collections on Christmas Day. If your normal collection day is Tuesday, your bins will be picked up a day earlier on Monday 24 December. Please have your bins out by 6am.

Collections on 24 December (Christmas Eve) and New Year’s Day will operate as usual.

Transfer Station operating hours The Horsham Transfer Station is open from 10am to 2pm on all public holidays (excluding Christmas Day and Good Friday).

Getting ready for e-waste landfill ban Grampians Central West Waste and Resource Recovery Group has teamed up with Horsham Rural City Council to get an early start on preparing the local community for the ban on e-waste going to landfill from July 2019.

Two new e-waste stations have been installed at the Horsham Civic Centre and the Horsham Library for residents to dispose of a variety of small e-waste items such as batteries, CFL globes and fluoro tube, mobile phones and small items such as keyboards, computer mouse, laptops and other small electrical items.

Horsham has also received funding for infrastructure to deal with the e-waste ban at the Kenny Road Transfer Station. All sorts of e-waste will be able to be disposed of at the Transfer Station, whereas the e-waste station at the Council office focusses on smaller scale items.

The Resource and Recovery group’s Executive Officer La Vergne Lehmann said the e-waste education program starting early next year would include events, public displays, school education, e-waste guides and more.

“While we have had disposal options available for old televisions and computers for some years, the new ban will include a much larger range of items,” Ms Lehmann said.

“This means that household items such as electric kettles, hair dryers and vacuum cleaners, just to name a few, will now be included.”

Call for Reconciliation artwork Indigenous community members are invited to submit artwork to be included in Horsham Rural City Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan document.

Horsham Rural City Council’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee is about to finalise its Reconciliation Action Plan with endorsement

by Reconciliation Australia expected soon.

Director Community Wellbeing Kevin O’Brien said the artwork would be both for display and digital reproduction.

“We are seeking pieces of artwork to reflect our vision which is to create an improved understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and future aspirations through fostering meaningful relationships within our communities,” Mr O’Brien said.

“A shortlist of entries will be given to the Indigenous community in February and the winner will then be decided by a vote.”

Artworks must be submitted by 18 January and can be sent to Mr O’Brien in person at the Civic Centre, 18 Roberts Avenue Horsham, via mail, PO Box 511 Horsham 3402 or email to kevin.obrien@hrcc.vic.gov.au.

Time to celebrate each other

A

nother Christmas has arrived.

Another milestone in life’s calendar and perhaps another opportunity to contemplate, reflect and consider who we are, what we do and how we treat each other.

We’ve said it before – Christmas can mean so many different things to different people.

It can be a time of celebration, a time for families, a time for fun, festivities and good cheer, a time to recharge the batteries and a time to reflect on and-or embrace faith.

For others who might be in unfortunate circumstances, it can be a time of loneliness, a reminder of missed

opportunities or time to reflect on loss.

It can certainly cut both ways.

Some of us like to think about Christmas, after we’ve outgrown the magic it presents to us as children, as a time to celebrate diversity – when all the multitude of personalities, sensibilities, opinions and traditions can come together in a fascinating melting pot of humanity.

Christmas often provides rare insight into this diversity of individuals, which can poke its head up at the table during Christmas lunch, the family barbecue or annual backyard cricket match.

We’re all different and are constantly moulded by our day-to-day experiences.

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson, editor

When families come together for Christmas, often after spending time apart and having experienced different circumstances, the atmosphere can be comfortable and familiar or sometimes markedly different and foreign. Such is life.

A simple message for Christmas might be to use the occasion to try to be as good and magnanimous a person

Sincere thanks

Merry Christmas

SIR, – As we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the arrival of 2019, I take this opportunity to wish everyone in the Lowan electorate a very Merry Christ-

Wednesday, December 19, 2018

mas and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.

The Christmas and New Year holiday season is an opportunity to spend time with family and friends and to reflect on the important things in life.

I hope everyone enjoys this time but also remains vigilant and safe on our roads, near the water, out enjoying nature and even in the backyard.

Please take the time to look out for others in our community, to extend the hand of friendship and to offer the spirit of Christmas to those around you, remembering that the strength and generosity of our rural communities is one of our greatest assets.

I encourage everyone to support our local traders as we shop for the wide array of products required for the festive season.

It has been a privilege to represent the people of Lowan for the past four years and I have greatly enjoyed the diversity of individuals, groups and organisations I have worked with to help make western Victoria a better place to live and work.

As your recently re-elected Member for Lowan I thank you for your on-going confidence and support and look forward to the opportunities that the next four years will undoubtedly bring.

Again, a very Merry Christmas and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year to everyone across the Lowan electorate.

Emma Kealy Member for Lowan

Festive wishes

SIR, – On Christmas night angels appeared in the sky with a message of ‘peace on earth, and good will to all men and women.’

A new life, a baby had just been born in a country that was under foreign occupation by a totalitarian government.

The promise of peace resonated with those who longed to be free from war.

More than 2000 years later the hope of peace on earth still eludes humanity.

Around the world, 65-million people seek refuge.

Our country and many others spend billions of dollars in defence material.

Conflict and terrorism affect many.

But the Christmas story, of the son of God visiting earth in the form of a baby does hold special meaning to many Australians – for that child grew up and his teachings affected the world by challenging people to think of others over themselves.

He reminded humanity that love, not hate, is the greatest expression.

And in doing so has brought peace to the hearts of many.

So among the presents, great Australian food and laughter, give some thought to the Christmas story, and within your busy life may you find some peace on earth.

Merry Christmas.

Andrew Broad Member for Mallee

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SIR, – Now that last month’s election is over, I wanted to express my thanks to people of Western Victoria for re-electing me as one of your representatives in the Legislative Council.

Over the past four years, the Andrews Government has worked tirelessly to deliver infrastructure and services for the people of Western Victoria.

Major improvements to hospitals, schools, local roads and infrastructure have occurred under our watch, and my commitment is to continue delivering for our local communities over the next four years.

As some readers would know, I was recently appointed the Minister for Roads, Road Safety, TAC, Fishing and Boating.

Roads are the lifeblood of our country communities and I’m particularly keen to hear feedback from The Weekly Advertiser readers on the state of local roads, which roads are in good condition and which roads are not.

I will be relocating to another office in coming weeks, however, my staff are always available to help with matters relating to the State Government. Please call 5332 2405 or email jaala.pulford@ parliament.vic.gov.au.

Jaala Pulford Member for Western Victoria

as you can be, regardless of circumstance.

Forgive the perceived minor failings of your friends and family members and try to embrace them for who they are.

If everyone went out of their way, for at least one day of the year, to treat each other how they would like others to treat them, imagine how good a Christmas we could all enjoy.

The occasion is about giving – something that is much more than a simple exchange of gifts.

From all the team at The Weekly Advertiser, we wish everyone a safe, happy and fulfilling Christmas and New Year.

Early celebration for young shopper

C

hristmas came early for Paityn Chambers, 19, of Warracknabeal when she won a $15,000 cash jackpot in a major regional shopping promotion.

Paityn was one of 19 finalists in The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM Jackpot or the Cash competition.

During an official draw at Harvey Norman Horsham on Saturday, she discovered she was the lucky finalist who had a special code that unlocked a winning suitcase.

ACE Horsham’s promotions manager Kaycee Bould said the draw was an exciting conclusion to what had been a productive, successful and fun competition.

“The competition was designed to strongly push the ‘shop locally’ idea, and from November 21 to December

15 more than 5000 Wimmera shoppers across the region entered,” she said.

“That not only meant 5000 people entered a competition, but also that 5000 people had made a conscious decision to shop locally – that was how they qualified to enter.”

The Weekly Advertiser, 3WM and MIXX FM general manager Brendan O’Loughlin said as well as the $15,000 jackpot, the station also gave away a further $6800 in radio cash giveaways.

“This was for participants who opted to take immediate cash prizes instead of going into the big draw,” he said.

“Critically, while it was most enjoyable being in a position to offer such wonderful cash prizes, we are extremely happy that we have helped promote the spirit of shopping locally this Christmas.”

Ms Bould said Paityn had been shak-

ing in excitement and anticipation during the final draw.

“It’s a great end to the year and what a great Christmas surprise for Paityn, who entered at Prouds the Jewellers in Horsham. She said she planned to use the money for a deposit on a house,” Ms Bould said.

“This is an incredible and potentially life-changing prize and we’re more than happy to be part of this wonderful promotion with major sponsors Harvey Norman Horsham and Ararat.”

Competition runners-up received gift packs, which included $100 Harvey Norman vouchers and wine from Celebrations Superstore in Horsham.

“It is a wonderful way to celebrate the end of the year. And the message from The Weekly Advertiser and 3WM and MIXX FM is to keep watching CASH PRIZE: Paityn Chambers is pictured with her $15,000 cheque this space in 2019,” Ms Bould said. after winning the Jackpot or the Cash competition.

Adventurer back from ‘Australia’s Longest Triathlon’ Horsham adventurer Tom Dunn admits it might take a while to recover – physically and mentally – from his latest endeavour.

Dunn finished what was billed as ‘Australia’s Longest Triathlon’ earlier this month after journeying unpowered and unsupported from North Point on Cape York to South Point at Wilsons Promontory.

His plan was to cycle, run and swim his way from north to south, but after completing most of the 4825-kilometre journey he found himself up against the elements.

Dunn had planned to swim the length of the Gippsland Lakes, but found windy and unpredictable weather conditions meant the water was too dangerous to navigate.

Tiring physically and with his mental health deteriorating, Dunn made what he described as ‘easily the toughest decision I’ve ever had on any of my trips’.

He abandoned the swim portion of his triathlon, choosing instead to kayak the lakes.

“I was pretty physically tired at that point, but it just sort of emotionally ruined me,” he said.

“For 12 months I had been working so hard to complete the trip as a ride, a run and a swim, and to know that was going to be all thrown away was pretty tough to comprehend.

“I’m still getting my head around the fact that it didn’t go to plan because it wasn’t a ride, run and swim, it was a ride, run and kayak.

Wednesday, December 19, 2018

AT THE END: Tom Dunn celebrates the end of his journey from Australia’s northernmost point to its southernmost point. Dunn biked, ran and kayaked in what he dubbed ‘Australia’s Longest Triathlon’.

“Perhaps I sound like I’m being a little bit nitpicky because I still managed to get to the finish line and I still had great help. But the simple fact that for over 12 months I was working so hard on creating a plan, and then for the first 3000 or 4000 kilometres working so hard to make that trip what it was, to have it pulled out from me due to something that wasn’t in my control hurt for sure, and I think it’ll continue to hurt for a while to come.”

The triathlon was the 23-year-old’s fourth extreme adventure in support of a charity.

His previous challenges – a kayak trip down the Murray River, stand-up paddle board journey the length of Australia’s longest river system, and an unguided, unsupported trek to Everest Base Camp – raised a combined $97,000 for various charities.

Dunn’s triathlon target was to raise $30,000 for Melbourne Indigenous Transition School, a boarding house in Richmond that provides educational opportunities for young indigenous students from rural and regional areas.

Dunn said he was too busy trying to find food and shelter during his

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

unsupported trip to concentrate much on fundraising, but would now begin to focus on generating donations.

As of Monday, people had donated more than $3500 to Dunn’s online fundraising page.

“There is still the opportunity to use the trip and its message and the lessons I’ve learnt to turn it into a positive story and keep fundraising,” he said.

Dunn admitted it felt strange to rejoin society and said it would take him time to recover from his journey.

But he was always thinking about what trip he would do next.

“With these trips, unfortunately there’s so much thinking time that you end up planning the next few along the way,” he said.

“While things were going well the idea was that if I’d done north to south, I’d have to look at going east to west.

“I’d love to go back and swim the Gippsland Lakes, which were what brought me undone this time.

“I know it’s possible, but the weather wasn’t right for me, so I’d love to go back and prove to myself that I can do that.”

Dunn said he was thankful for the support he received during his journey, both from friends at home in the Wimmera and strangers he met along the way.

“I think by far what stood out was the people I met along the way and how much they helped me – those who knew about the trip as a whole or those who just bumped into me as I was passing through their area,” he said.

“There are plenty of bad news stories you see on TV, so to see there are still so many incredible people out there was probably the biggest highlight of this trip.”

Willaura Memorial Hall upgrade DECEMBER 2018

Project Snapshot WHAT IS THE PROJECT? Ararat Rural City Council has awarded the tender for the redevelopment of the Willaura Memorial Hall to local contractor Andrew Eastick Homes.

The redevelopment will deliver new male, female and accessible toilets, including a baby change facility.

A fully accessible ramp to the front of the building will also be constructed as part of the works.

Project budget $350,000

Construction six months

Local contractor Eastick Homes

More at ararat.vic.gov.au

The project group – consisting of members from the Hall Committee, Council Officers and the Architect – have met regularly over the course of the last 12 months in bringing the plans for this project to fruition.

The Willaura Hall Committee of Management met Andrew Eastick on site prior to works commencing in October.

This group will continue to meet regularly over the course of the construction period.

Ararat Rural City Council is fully funding the project.

COMMUNITY BENEFITS The upgrade to the Willaura Memorial Hall is one of the main highlights in this year’s Council Plan.

Council is proud to continue to invest in our rural towns in key facilities like community halls.

The Hall will be out of action for at least six months while works are being carried out, but it will be worthwhile in the long run.

Council is asking the community to be patient and understanding during this time. The new completion of the project will allow for better access for the whole community and improve amenities.

Search on for new development boss W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera Development Association will need a new leader with news executive director Ralph Kenyon will retire at the end of February.

Mr Kenyon, who has been in the role for three years, announced his decision at a board meeting last week.

He said he was keen to spend more time with family and friends and to ‘catch up with pressing jobs at his home on the Mornington Peninsula’.

Mr Kenyon said he left the role with a strong belief that the Wimmera and southern Mallee had an enormous amount of potential to push forward strongly through socio-economic de-

velopment. “The region has a massive amount of positivity and commitment to working collaboratively,” he said.

“There is a lot of innovation and imagination and willingness in the region to go the extra yard.

“I think this is born from necessity – because of the improvements in the agricultural productivity and consolidation of farming properties – success has led to decline in population, especially in smaller towns.

“This presents challenges to look at other ways the region can diversify its economy.”

Mr Kenyon said he believed the largest area of potential growth in the region was in tourism.

“Whether it be agricultural, environmental or recreational tourism – all have enormous potential and represent something which we are still yet to capitalise on,” he said.

“The Silo Art Trail is a great example and that can only grow as stage two of the project comes on line,” he said.

Mr Kenyon, who previously had a leadership role with the Port of Hastings, said he had taken the job on because he saw an opportunity to share his skills and experiences in economic development.

“I have stretched myself and it has certainly been an exciting shift for me,” he said.

“But the fundamentals of economic

development are essentially the same wherever you are – it’s only the priorities that differ.

“I’ve enjoyed getting a better understanding of life and the positive nature of the people in this region.”

Mr Kenyon has been involved in and seen significant regional development during his tenure.

He said Wimmera Development Association would continue to have a significant role in helping steer progress in the region.

“It is the engine room to help facilitate and progress ideas that come from the community,” he said.

“The organisation is in a strong financial position with support of five municipalities and there is potential

for income streams from other sources during the next couple of years.

“Involvement with Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership will involve further development of WDA. “The organisation has been around 27 years and is in a strong position to continue to move forward.”

Mr Kenyon predicted the region would continue to improve in agricultural production through a significant use of technology, research and telecommunications.

He added renewable energy and how the region exploited its potential would also play a major factor.

Spirit of Christmas strong Wimmera residents have shown the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in the region, coming to the aid of nineyear-old Ted Johnson and his family.

Earlier this month The Weekly Advertiser reported on a campaign by Horsham Ss Michael and John’s Primary School community to raise money for a new bike for Ted. Ted was born with a congenital condition called bilateral tibial hemimelia – meaning he had no knees, shins or ankles – and had both legs amputated.

With a special, custom-made bike for Ted costing $11,000, the school rallied around his family with a ‘Ten 4 Ted’ campaign.

The aim of the campaign was to raise enough money for a new bike, with the idea that 1100 people donating $10 each could meet the target.

The community responded more generously than Ted’s mother Abbie Clark or Ten 4 Ted organiser Louise Chesterfield could have imagined, raising more than $15,000 in just 10 days.

Ms Clark said she was ‘blown away’ by the support of Wimmera residents in the lead-up to Christmas.

“We’re so thankful to the community and everybody for being so generous,” she said.

“It’s a really joyful feeling,

which you don’t get to feel much anymore, so it’s been great for our family.

“We would just like to express our gratitude to everyone who got involved.”

Ms Clark said the extra money raised by the Ten 4 Ted campaign had been put towards buying new prosthetic legs for Ted. She said his prosthetics needed replacing about every 10 months, and he often needed multiple sets of legs for different situations.

Ted will travel to Melbourne today to try out a model of his new bike.

Ms Clark said the model Ted would receive was still being built and would be more cus-

tomised to his needs, but the trial would give him more of an idea of what to expect.

She said the excitement of being able to ride a bike for the first time was finally starting to hit Ted. “He’s a bit more excited now that he knows we’re going to test it out,” she said.

“He’s decided he wants a red one.

“We’ve talked about when he gets road safe how he might be able to meet his friends and ride to school together when they get older.

“I said I’d get a bike and ride with him, but he’s decided I have to run, which is never going to happen.”

Bid falls short of hitting rail mark A

BY DEAN LAWSON

State Government decision to throw The Overland train service a financial lifeline has attracted a mixed reaction from groups lobbying for better Wimmera domestic passenger rail services.

While many lobbyists are thankful the historic Melbourne-Adelaide interstate train will continue beyond January 1, they are also questioning why the government continues to believe The Overland represents an adequate service.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Ralph Kenyon said all the government’s decision to provide the extra $3.78-million to keep the service running did was maintain the status quo.

“It might be better if it meant more services and a greater promotion of services to get more customers to use it,” he said.

“But two trains a week is nowhere near enough, especially when it has an indirect trip to Melbourne via Geelong. What we’re seeing represents only a short-term fix.

“It is simply an unreliable service and isn’t regular enough to give people the option of using it.

“Making sure the Wimmera has at least some sort of passenger-rail service is a step in the right direction, but not a solution.”

Public Transport Minister Melissa Horne announced last week the government had stepped in ‘to keep a key part of Australia’s transport history alive’ by providing the money required to help fund the service for 2019.

The 131-year-old passenger-rail service was in jeopardy when the South Australian Government announced it would stop funding the service after December 31.

Great Southern Rail operates the 828-kilometre service, which the Victorian and South Australian

governments have supported since 2000. The Victorian Government has pledged to ensure the twice-weekly service, which stops at Murray Bridge, Bordertown, Nhill, Dimboola, Horsham, Stawell, Ararat and North Shore in Geelong – will continue in 2019.

Minister Horne said the government had stepped in because The Overland provided an important connection and because it was an Australian ‘rail treasure’.

“Communities from across western Victoria have told us how important this route is for their travel and to the history of their town – that’s why we’re continuing our support for this historic service,” she said.

Mr Kenyon said The Overland operated in isolation of people’s needs and suspected operator Great Southern Rail had little understanding of regional demands.

“It would be useful if Great Southern Rail actually talked to some of the people along the route to see what the demand actually was,” he said.

“We’ve had no contact with them at all, yet they make decisions without understanding or knowing what we’re trying to do in the region in promoting visitation and building a tourist economy.

“The government decision really means nothing changes.”

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy, who has long lobbied for a better domestic rail service in the region, said the government’s decision to extend The Overland schedule for 12 months, after she had called on it to save the service, took too long.

“It doesn’t provide enough security for local people, particularly when there are local jobs that rely on our only rail service continuing in the long term,” she said. “While it’s better than nothing, this announcement doesn’t go far enough.”

Koenig: We must support events A

BY DEAN LAWSON

Horsham community leader has urged people to be proactive and support events, shows and performances that come to or develop in the region.

Horsham Rural City councillor Josh Koenig, among people who attended Horsham Rockfest at Sawyer Park, said Horsham and the broader Wimmera needed to ensure they embraced special events.

“I thought Rockfest was a great event for Horsham. It was a fantastic day and night of entertainment and

numbers attending were pretty good.

Everyone I have spoken to shares the same view,” he said.

“But I think a message to the people of Horsham is that we on the council often get asked to have more things for people to do. So when things like this come along, we as a community need to show our support.

“It’s a kind of use-it-or-lose-it way of looking at this. If we want big acts and shows to come to Horsham and promoters to consider coming here, we need to be able to demonstrate that we’re right behind them.”

Between 800 and 1000 people at-

tended Horsham Rockfest, which featured prominent performers Shannon Noll and Reece Mastin, famous retro rock acts The Chantoozies and The Choir Boys and country rock talent Paul Costa.

Mildura Entertainment organised the event as part of a regional Rockfest series and could not confirm after the event whether the show would return next year.

Cr Koenig said when he and his wife first arrived at the venue he was immediately reminded how good Horsham Soundshell and Sawyer Park were for the district.

“My wife and I weren’t huge fans of the bands that were playing, but we enjoyed it and couldn’t speak highly enough about the event,” he said.

“I can remember saying during one of the first acts that this is what the soundshell is built for and that it needs to happen more often to take full advantage of the facilities. It was just a great day.

“It just suggested that we as a community need to get behind big events that bring people together.

“The same applies to Kannamaroo festival and our other attractions.”

Cr Koenig said he noted while at

Horsham Rockfest the number people he did not recognise.

“I obviously know a lot of people in Horsham and I had a bit of a look around and there was a lot of people there I didn’t know. This suggested to me that many in the crowd were visitors, which I think is a good thing,” he said.

“We just need to make sure we grab hold of these events so when these promoters go away, they want to come back.

“We need to continue to grow Horsham and grow the number of events that come to or are in Horsham.”

Plans for rock reunion gather pace A flood of performers and bands dating back decades have rushed to add their support to plans for another milestone celebration of ‘live and local’ rock music in the Wimmera.

A decade on from Horsham’s successful 50 Years of Wimmera Rock reunion, which drew big crowds to memorable shows at a variety of venues, a similar event is likely to unfold.

A free-of-charge 60 Years of Wimmera Rock event, with its headquarters at Horsham’s Sawyer Park, is now tentatively scheduled for February 8, 2020.

Horsham’s Lynton Brown, the prime architect behind the 2009 event, said simply raising the idea of organising another big tribute to Wimmera rock had sparked an immediate response.

He said he had been involved in a few informal discussions about the idea, but it had taken off as soon as he had put the idea out to the region’s rock-music fraternity.

“We had an immediate and incredibly positive response from a variety of bands, many from yesteryear, which were keen to use the occasion as another big reunion,” he said.

“At this stage we’re exploring if we can simply put it on, and have come up with a date, which we believe will give us a bit of time to plan and see how it might unfold.

“Watch this space, we expect to make an announcement in January.”

The 2009 50 Years of Wimmera Rock was a three-day festival involving more than 40 bands, but Mr

Brown said he had needed a quick confirmation from only 10 to seriously consider the proposal.

“It looks like it might be happening at this stage. What we’re looking at is again providing a free event to celebrate our rock-music heritage,” he said.

“It would be based at Sawyer Park, which anyone who attended the Horsham Rockfest would realise is an outstanding venue for this type of outdoor entertainment.

“But, as more bands come on board the concept might expand.

“There are a lot of logistics and aspects of running this event at Sawyer Park that we will have to get sorted out.

“We obviously need to have Horsham Rural City Council on board and we hope service clubs can put up their hand, perhaps to provide food, drinks and other services.”

Mr Brown said in putting out ‘early feelers’, he had immediate positive responses from former bands including The Bunts, Bata Scouts, UJorgan, Rift, Second Thoughts, Hard Face Nannas and Ferdie from the Sonomatics, and several others, including prominent musicians, keen to form up to recreate acts for the event.

“What’s amazing is that people who now live all over Australia, in all sorts of professions and positions, have indicated they are keen to return for such an event. It just shows their passion for this closely knit fraternity,” he said.

“We just don’t know what this could develop into but it is going to be all about providing a chance for many bands and performers to reunite and relive fabulous connections from the past – or create some new experiences.

“And like last time, everyone else can come along for the ride.

“We want it to be a fun family event with a bit of an edge.

“Sons and daughters came along to see their parents play last time. This time it might also include people seeing their grandparents in action.”

Mr Brown said if the event went ahead as planned, it would most likely be in a simpler format than the original 50 Years of Wimmera Rock.

“The idea is that we want to showcase Sawyer Park and the soundshell, which remains for many the spiritual headquarters of home-grown rock music. It was the birthplace of the Chris O’Sullivan Memorial concerts of the 1980s, the core of why the soundshell was built,” he said.

“Unlike the previous festival, we might leave the organising of the all the hotels and venues to others, but we’re encouraging everyone to get on board.

“Who knows at this stage? There are plenty of options to consider.”

Mr Brown said anyone keen to get involved as performers, bands or with organising or presenting ideas could email him on lyntonbrown@gmail. com.

Week 24 on the Australian wool selling programme hosted the final sale of the calendar year. It is also the final buying/selling opportunity before the market heads into a three-week recess. As this is the last chance for sellers to offer their wool for the year, quantities have understandably increased, and 46,003 bales were available to the trade, and in a welcomed result to these sellers, the market has finished the year on a positive note. With the recess looming, buyers were aware that this was their last major buying opportunity for the year. This resulted in an aggressive buyer sentiment, as they fought hard to secure meaningful quantity. The result was price increases across the entire merino spectrum, with all types and descriptions enjoying gains. The lift in prices pushed the AWEX Eastern market indicator (EMI) up by 13 cents for the series, the EMI closes the year at 1859 cents.

The EMI has risen by 102 cents over the 2018 calendar year, a rise of 5.8%.

The skirtings did not record any significant movement for the series, prices fluctuated within 10 to 15 cents of the previous week’s levels. Crossbred wool coarser than 28 micron recorded modest increases of 5 to cents.

The oddments finished the year with price reductions. Prices for locks, stains and crutchings were generally reduced by 30 to 50 cents. This was reflected in the three carding indicators falling by an average of 44 cents.

As mentioned earlier, the market now heads into the annual three-week Christmas recess. Sales will resume in the week beginning Monday, 7th of January (Week 28) with selling in all three centres. Worth noting, if quantities dictate that Melbourne requires a three-day sale, Fremantle will sell on Tuesday and Wednesday in Week 28. This change is to avoid Melbourne selling in isolation after an extended recess.

Portfolios for Wimmera reps Wimmera parliamentarians Emma Kealy and Louise Staley have shadow ministry responsibilities as part of a revamped Victorian LiberalNationals team.

Liberal Member for Ripon Louise Staley, who retained her seat by only 15 votes, will be Shadow Treasurer and the Opposition’s Economic Development representative.

Nationals Member for Lowan Emma Kealy will be in charge of Opposition Mental Health, Prevention of Family Violence and Women portfolios.

Victorian Opposition leader Michael O’Brien and deputy leader Peter Walsh announced the new shadow cabinet on Friday.

Mr O’Brien said the shadow cabinet would work ‘to hold the Labor government to account for its failings’ and ‘reset the way we engage with the Victorian community to develop solutions to the challenges facing Victoria’.

“While the Andrews Labor government is topheavy with former union officials, our team includes former nurses and health-sector workers, small-business owners, farmers, a school teacher, a police officer and accounting and financial services professionals,” he said.

“New Shadow Treasurer Louise Staley is a fierce advocate for her constituency. Louise brings to this role her 20-year career in finance as well as small business and farming experience. She will hold Labor accountable for its record high taxes and plans for the biggest debt binge in Victorian history.”

Ms Staley said she was delighted to be given the opportunity and looked forward to being part of a team to develop positive, relevant and affordable policies for Victorians.

“I am very pleased to be part of a strong team of Liberals and Nationals from western Victoria.

Together we will ensure the needs of our region are front and centre in Spring Street,” she said.

“I know my first and most important role is to be the Member for Ripon to represent my constituents and deliver outcomes for them.

“I look forward to continuing to do so as I take on this state role as Shadow Treasurer.”

Mr Walsh will continue as Opposition minis-

ter for Regional Victoria and Decentralisation, Agriculture and Aboriginal Affairs spokesman.

Mr O’Brien said his new shadow cabinet team would develop key policies to take to the next election that would reflect the core values of the Liberal-Nationals.

“This includes opportunity, reward for effort, the rule of law, environmental stewardship, a strong economy, a cohesive society, protecting the vulnerable, and limited but effective government.”

Group calls for holistic rail view

A

major public-transport advocacy group has welcomed a State Government decision to provide extra money to allow The Overland passenger train to continue.

But the Public Transport Users Association has also renewed calls for the government to support reinstatement of regular passenger trains to Horsham.

PTUA Ballarat Branch convener Ben Lever praised the government for working with Great Southern Rail to ensure The Overland could continue in 2019.

“The Overland is the only passenger train that runs west of Ararat, and serves as a vital link for people who live in places such as Stawell, Horsham, Dimboola and Nhill,” he said.

“Not only does it connect these towns to Melbourne and Adelaide, it connects them to each other – and to Bordertown and Murray Bridge in South Australia. Many people in these communities cannot drive, and some struggle to use highfloor coaches – it’s vital to maintain the rail link and we are delighted to see the State Government step up to preserve this service.”

Mr Lever said places such as Stawell and Horsham still needed a higher level of service than The Overland provided.

“While it’s great that The Overland will still run, there is still a real need to provide regular rail services to Horsham in the very near future,” he said.

“The Overland provides a lifeline service to these communities, but years of cuts means it only runs twice a week and has a reputation for slow speeds and poor punctuality – so it’s not an attractive option for most trips.

“Horsham needs and deserves a serious public transport option – trains that run two or three times a day, seven days a week, with a modified version of the existing fast VLocity trains.”

The PTUA’s Ballarat Branch represents Ballarat, Moorabool, Hepburn, Central Goldfields, Pyrenees, Ararat, Northern Grampians, Southern Grampians, Horsham, Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh and West Wimmera municipalities.

It shares the representation of Golden Plains and Glenelg municipalities with its Geelong branch.

Victorian and South Australian governments had previously shared costs in helping run The Overland, but the South Australian Government withdrew support, putting the service in jeopardy.

The Victorian Government increased its funding as a result and Great Southern Rail, which operates The Overland, made up a shortfall.

Plea

Mr Lever said Great Southern Rail had committed to a full review of The Overland service to determine its future beyond 2019.

He encouraged the State Government to use the opportunity to take a holistic view of rail transport in western Victoria, and consider the best options for running V/Line services beyond Ararat.

“Great Southern Rail is primarily a rail tourism operator, running the luxury Indian Pacific and Ghan trains. They arguably run The Overland on a similar model – running trains infrequently and providing an enjoyable ride that is more about the journey than the destination,” he said.

“But the people of western Victoria also need to be able to get from A to B efficiently, so they need a regular train service like the rest of the state.

“Now is the time for the Victorian Government to take a serious look at the long-term future of this key rail corridor.

“Councils in western Victoria have already commissioned a report into returning regular passenger trains to Horsham and Hamilton. We urge the government to take this work and flesh it out into a proper business case as soon as possible.”

The kindergarten has established the sensory kitchen with a $1288 Willaura Bendigo Bank grant and help from Lake Bolac College students.

City requests artwork submissions Members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community have an invitation to submit artwork to be included in Horsham Rural City Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan document.

The council’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee is about to finalise the Wimmera’s first reconciliation action plan and expects endorsement by Reconciliation Australia in the near future.

Council community wellbe-

ing director Kevin O’Brien said the artwork would be both for display and digital reproduction.

“We are seeking pieces of artwork to reflect our vision, which is to create an improved understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and future aspirations through fostering meaningful relationships within our communities,” he said.

“Aboriginal Advisory Com-

mittee members will present a shortlist of entries to the local indigenous community in February and the winner will then be decided by a vote by the community.”

People must submit artworks

by January 18.

Enties can delivered to Mr O’Brien in person at Horsham Civic Centre, by mail to PO Box 511, Horsham, 3402 or by email to Kevin.OBrien@ hrcc.vic.gov.au.

PLAN AND PREPARE The reasons are black and white

There’s no questioning the facts. In a bushfire, most homes burn down due to ember attack. It’s your responsibility to be fire ready this summer, so prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now.

On high-risk fire days, leaving early, before a fire starts, is always the safest option.

The competition is open to anyone living in the listening and readership areas.

“This is your last chance. There have been some wonderful entries from right across the region and I can’t wait to announce the winners,” Miss Bould said.

“It’s been all about people making an effort to show off their Christmas spirit and from what we’ve seen there’s plenty of spirit right across the Wimmera, Grampians and Mallee.”

The house that wins the Christmas lights competition will receive $500 cash from ACE Radio as well as a $500 voucher to spend at Horsham Plaza.

Second prizewinner will receive a $100 plaza voucher and third a $50 voucher. All prizes will also come with a gift pack from The Weekly Advertiser, 3WM and MIXX FM. Ms Bould stressed the competition was about how clever and creative people have been in lighting and decorating their homes with a Christmas theme.

“There is no better opportunity than right now to jump in the car with the kids and go for a Christmas lights tour.

It just adds to the fun and festivities of Christmas in our wonderful part of the world,” she said.

Ms Bould said all people needed to do to qualify for the competition was to submit photographs of their display online at 3wm.com.au or mixx1013.com.au.

Strengthening connections

Safety barrier for Nhill park

T

he Australian Grains Genebank has continued to build on its global reputation, welcoming scientists from Myanmar who travelled from South East Asia to Horsham to see first-hand how the world-class facility operates.

Genebank leader Dr Sally Norton welcomed the delegation from Myanmar’s Ministry of Food and Agriculture.

The visitors included director general Naing Kyi Win, genebank head Dr Minn San Thein and database management specialist Ohn Mar Aung.

During their week-long stay, the international guests had a broad overview of genebank activities, learning what the centre did and why.

Ohn Mar Aung stayed on for a further three weeks to get a deeper understanding of how the genebank operated.

The visiting scientists were involved in seed-identification activities and shown protocols for the storage and safekeeping of crop germplasm.

Dr Norton said the aim of the study tour, supported by the Crawford Fund, was to improve capacity building in genebank operation.

“The visitors learnt about methods and processes that are in line with international genebank standards,” she said.

“Importantly, it was also an opportunity for information exchange with our AGG staff learning from our guests and leading to possible

FACT-FINDING: From left, Australian Grains Genebank leader Dr Sally Norton with Myanmar Ministry of Food delegation members, Naing Kyi Win, Kyaw Soe Hein, Dr Min San Thien and Ohn Mar Aung. collaboration in the future.” Myanmar has a national genebank, which houses about 20,000 accessions of grain crops and some vegetables.

Dr Norton said on their return to Myanmar, the visiting scientists would pass on their new knowledge to their colleagues.

Ohn Mar Aung said the visit would support future collaboration in the conservation and use of crop genetic resources between Myanmar’s national gene bank and the Australian Grains Genebank.

“We learnt a lot about crop germplasm management that will enable us to have fruitful discussions of mutual benefit,” she said.

The number of international visit-

ing scientists undertaking research with Agriculture Victoria has doubled in the past three years.

Agriculture Victoria research director Traci Griffin said this was a reflection on Agriculture Victoria’s growing reputation in the global science community for leading-edge, outcome-oriented research and innovation for agriculture and food.

She said more than 30 international researchers had visited Agriculture Victoria sites this year, the majority visiting Grains Innovation Park at Horsham.

Ms Griffin said much of this growth could be attributed to the growing popularity of the Australian Grains Genebank as a national

major innovation asset of Agriculture Victoria in partnership with the Grains Research and Development Corporation.

“Agriculture Victoria is growing as a well-regarded research and innovation destination throughout the world due to our wide range of state-of-the-art capabilities and the quality of its research and innovation outcomes,” she said.

“We thank the Crawford Fund for its commitment and ongoing support for agriculture scientists from around the world to visit our facilities and meet our scientist, helping to contribute to global food security.”

The Federal Government will provide more than $19,000 to Hindmarsh Shire Council to install security fencing between Nhill’s Jaypex Park and a busy section of the Western Highway.

Member for Mallee Andrew Broad visited Nhill to announce the funding as part of the government’s stronger communities program.

“It is vital that we keep our community safe and ensure we are looking after families and children who use these great facilities at Jaypex Park so often,” he said.

“This is a fantastic, open community space, but the Western Highway is one of the busiest stretches of road in our region and we need to ensure the safety of the community and our drivers. This project will do that.

“The stronger communities program is one of my favourite streams of funding under our government because it looks at things right at a community level; ways that we can make our communities more involved, safer and our towns more viable.

“It is my pleasure to announce this funding to the Hindmarsh Shire Council and I look forward to seeing this new safety fence up in the new year.”

While at Nhill, Mr Broad visited Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre to announce funding for display cabinets.

Mr Broad confirmed the centre had been successful under the stronger communities program in applying for a $5720 grant to display heritage Royal Australian Airforce uniforms.

Mr Broad said the new cases would allow the uniforms to be displayed in a safe environment.

The community has provided the balance of the overall project cost of $12,171.

Expectations are that the uniforms will be on display in the three new cases by February.

SHOW OF SUPPORT: Zyla Nelson, centre, with her friends Izabel White, Maddy Toet and Chanel Scollary, before cutting her long hair to donate to Variety Hair With Heart.

Heartfelt donation T

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

Karma Ergo 125 and Ergo Lite wheelchairs

he biblical figure Samson was said to have lost his immense strength when his long hair was cut.

However, in the act of cutting her flowing locks, Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College student Zyla Nelson found she was able to give strength to others.

Zyla, 14, had more than 35 centimetres of hair cut off at school on Thursday as part of a fundraising effort for children’s charity Variety.

The school community rallied around Zyla with messages of support and donations, helping her smash her initial fundraising target of $500.

As of Monday afternoon, she had raised $2310 for Variety’s Hair with Heart campaign.

Zyla’s hair was also donated to Variety, which provides wigs to children who have lost their hair due to medical conditions.

Wigs can cost up to $6000 and need to be replaced every one to two years, meaning donations of hair are always needed.

Zyla’s mother Ange Nelson said she was extremely proud of her daughter for her thoughtfulness and charitable nature.

“Zyla has always had long hair, but two years ago she said she was going to donate it and she stopped cutting it,” she said.

A great looking functional wheelchair with all the features you might need.

DONATION: Zyla Neslon, centre, with Izabel White, Chanel Scollary and Maddy Toet, show off her cut locks.

Pictures: PAUL CARRACHER “It was her friend who came up with the idea and they were going to do it together, but for her friend it seemed to be an idea that passed, while Zyla stuck with it.

“This is the kind of person she is – she’s always thinking of others.”

Ms Nelson said the Holy Trinity Lutheran College community had supported Zyla wonderfully through the process.

“It has been one of the best experiences she’s ever had,” she said.

“The support in the community, the school and local busi-

nesses has blown her away. It has been so rewarding and she loved doing it – others have been sending her messages and letters of support.”

Ms Nelson said Zyla’s initial goal was simply to cut off her hair and donate it privately, but she had been encouraged by her friends to raise money for Variety as well.

She said Zyla’s hair had been donated, but people could still make a donation to her Variety Hair with Heart page by visiting website https://hairwith heart.everydayhero.com/au/ zyla-s-chop.

t’s almost Christmas time! For many, the festive season conjures up images of spending time with loved ones sharing far too much food, unwrapping gifts and lots of laughter.

However, for others, the Christmas period can be an exceptionally lonely and sad time.

Whether you’ve lost a loved one, are experiencing ill health, financial pressure, or estrangement or isolation from loved ones, yuletide is not always ‘merry and bright’.

Did you know that Lifeline receives a call every 32 seconds during the Christmas period? Every 32 seconds – let’s think about that for a moment.

Unfortunately, existing problems seem even worse at Christmas and there is a lot of emphasis placed on how it should be a time for celebrating with loved ones.

Of course, we all know that that’s not always as easy as it sounds. However, no one should ever feel embarrassed to ask for help or share how lonely they’re feeling – remember, a problem shared is a problem halved.

If you take one thing away from this column, I would like you to remember this: you are not alone. Whether you’re spending the holiday period with your actual family – or with the family you have created – be it a friend, a neighbour, or a work colleague, you are not alone.

Of course, volunteering is also a great way to keep yourself engaged.

Maybe you have been thinking about volunteering, or maybe you’re planning on making it a New Year’s resolution; whatever your reason we’d love to have you on board. The Centre for Participation wishes you a very merry Christmas and a safe, healthy, happy new year.

SEASON IN SONG: Sing Australia Horsham members join the Murtoa community for annual Carols in the Streets at Murtoa. Sing Australia has been visiting various Wimmera centres in the build-up to Christmas, including Dimboola Nursing Home, to spread festive cheer. The Horsham group has been visiting Murtoa on the invitation of Murtoa Interchurch Council for about eight years. Members also sang at Horsham’s Trinity Manor and had a break-up at Horsham Uniting Church on Monday.

Prouds the Jewellers... jingling every bell this Christmas

!

E L A S Y A D G N I X O B m 10am to 3p POSITIVE START: Rural Northwest Health chief executive Kevin Mills is looking forward to building relationships across departments.

New health chief adopts teamwork

R

ural Northwest Health’s new chief executive Kevin Mills is blending his sporting values into his leadership role.

Mr Mills said he was a strong believer in taking advantage of teamwork to get the best result and planned to implement the strategy to ensure the region had the best possible health services.

“I’m looking forward to making an impact both in my new role and in the community,” he said.

“But whatever that might be, it will be the result of a team effort. I’m huge on team.”

Mr Mills’ sporting prowess is above average.

He played 135 senior games for Kalkee Football Club and notched up six premierships in that time.

He also found time to win a premiership with Blackheath Cricket Club’s A Grade cricket team, despite a lifetime summer devotion to tennis.

Mr Mills continues to play sport and intends to get involved as much as possible in his new community.

When he was based at Edenhope, he joined his sons on the hockey field and plans to continue playing at Warracknabeal.

Growing up on a Kalkee farm with three sisters and three brothers, Mr Mills made an early choice to start a career in accountancy.

He studied at university in Adelaide and worked in private and public sector organisations in South Australia and Victoria.

His career in the not-for-profit sector resumed when he moved back to Horsham working with Skillinvest, before a seven-year stint at Wimmera UnitingCare, now Uniting Wimmera, as chief finance officer.

After that he moved his young family to Edenhope, where he took over as chief executive of Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital.

Mr Mills said he made his role at Edenhope easier by drawing on the experience and knowledge of executives throughout the region.

“I did a lot of networking early and made sure I was learning about my role from the right people,” he said.

“I spent a great deal of time talking with the chief executive and executive members at Ru-

ral Northwest Health, because the service was held in such high regard throughout the industry. From the moment I started at Edenhope, I viewed Rural Northwest Health as an industry leader. I was also very envious of the wonderful facilities.”

Mr Mills said he was looking forward to making an impact on the community and with the Rural Northwest Health team.

“The executive members all talk very highly of the teams in their various departments and my first priority will always be to those people who make up this great team to make our health service the best,” he said.

“Since arriving, I have really enjoyed spending time with various teams through training, meetings and reviews, which is helping me to gain a greater understanding of Rural Northwest Health.”

Mr Mills said he was working with the board and executive on several strategic initiatives.

They include a project to gain priority access for rural communities to appointment times, in person and through Telehealth, at Royal Children’s Hospital; advocacy to the Primary Health Network to enable referrals to primary mental health services by social workers and other councillors directly – the current process requires a GP referral; continuing work with Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital, Wimmera and West Wimmera health services, and Hindmarsh and Yarriambiack councils to establish a rural outreach program for mental health; expansion of well-being model YCHANGe and other community health projects in partnership with other health services, councils and service providers.

Mr Mills said he was also excited at the number of graduates who would be working and training at Rural Northwest Health in 2019.

“This is a great opportunity for us to help this group have a wonderful start and help shape the future of our workforce,” he said.

“I am confident that we provide a skilled workforce and a wonderful environment where they can flourish.”

‘Dipper’ Stawell ambassador Hawthorn football legend and former Brownlow Medalist Robert DiPierdomenico will be Stawell’s Australia Day ambassador next month.

DiPierdomenico, also known as ‘Dipper’, will address the Stawell community during celebrations at Cato Park at 6pm on January 26.

He will also help present the district’s Citizen of the Year award with Northern Grampians Shire mayor Kevin Erwin.

Cr Erwin said the addition of DiPierdomenico to Stawell’s Australia Day festivities would help generate interest.

“It’s great to have such a recognisable figure like ‘Dipper’ joining us,” he said.

“Hopefully that helps attract a large crowd for our Australia Day celebrations.

“He’s a well-known personality and a funny man as well.”

DiPierdomenico is a fivetime premiership player with

Pinball success leads to bigger ideas released. There was a crowd around watching, but sadly they just missed out on it.

“It’s still a ridiculously high score, but to get Australia and Nhill on the map in the world rankings was very close.

“It was probably within five percent of the score he needed.”

Mr Carter said the museum was hoping to turn the tournament weekend into an annual event, but also had plans for smaller monthly tournaments for Nhill locals.

“Stern has requested we do some more events and they’ll provide some prizes,” he said.

“The idea that was discussed with them was that we’ll do a once-amonth small thing aimed towards locals.

“Not a huge thing like this was that attracted big tournament players from around Australia, more to get new people into pinball.

“I know the Adelaide Pinball Club guys and they’re so eager they want to do a big tournament every month.

“But I told them you’ve got to cut it down a bit, otherwise it doesn’t seem as special.

“People won’t take it as seriously if it’s so frequent.”

Mr Carter said he was ‘95 percent certain’ the monthly competitions would be on the last Saturday of each month next year.

The Australian Pinball Museum is located at 22 Dimboola Road, Nhill.

People wanting more information about the museum or monthly tournaments can contact the museum by calling 5391 1666 or visiting website www.pinballmuseum.com.au.

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

P

lans to host an annual pinball tournament at Nhill are in the works after about 20 of Australia’s best pinball players were ‘blown away’ by three days of competition at the town’s Australian Pinball Museum.

Pinball players from Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra joined Nhill district locals at the first official Stern Army competition outside North America.

Stern Pinball is the largest pinball manufacturer in the world and, through its Stern Army brand ambassadors, sponsors and administers tournaments in association with the International Flipper Pinball Association.

The museum hosted four tournaments and several other ‘mini competitions’ from December 6 to 8, with Stern Pinball donating prizes for competitors.

The museum also offered up some of its own autographed memorabilia, bringing the total of prizes on offer during the weekend to about $1000.

Museum operator Lyndon Carter said the tournament had been a hit with locals and interstate players alike.

“The competition was well received and I think everyone around Australia was watching to see how it would go and if it was something that could take off in other states,” he said.

“A few of them had never been before – it had been on their wish list for a long time.

“The general comment we received was ‘heaps better than what we would have imagined’.

“One guy who runs small pinball

PINBALL WIZARDS: The top three place-getters from the main Stern Army tournament at Nhill’s pinball competition are, from left, Andre Thomson, second place, Tom Casey, first place, and Matthew Owen, third place. The three are pictured with prizes they won during the competition. tournaments at a pub in Melbourne came to see how it was all run, and he loved how it was done – he said it was really well executed.

“Being a museum, there were a lot of machines that a lot of people had never seen before.

“Some of the tournament players have played heaps around Australia, so it was good to have them say, ‘I’ve never seen that before, I’m so excited to start playing it’.”

The competition was intense across the weekend, with new high scores set on several of the museum’s machines.

“On some of the really old machines – the pinballs that have dials that tick over for the numbers – there were a few people that actually clocked them over. They reached the maximum score and it ticked over back to zero,” Mr Carter said.

“A couple of people hadn’t even seen that before on the machines.

“You have to have an official watching to make sure it ticked over and they’re not lying.”

Mr Carter said one competitor nearly achieved an internationally noteworthy score.

“There was a brand new Iron Maiden machine from Stern and we were so close to getting in the top 10 high scores in the world,” he said.

“It’s a competition Stern has done because the machine has just been

Daniher thanks Stawell district

SIGNIFICANT: Stuart Harradine at The Ranch Billabong at Dimboola where environmental watering will aim to restore plants and water quality at the cultural site.

Water for historic billabong W

otjobaluk people will mark the anniversary of their 2005 Native Title Consent Determination by returning water to one of their most culturally significant sites along the Wimmera River.

Barengi Gadjin Land Council and Wotjobaluk traditional owners started environmental watering at The Ranch Billabong at Dimboola on Friday.

The activity, supported by Wimmera Catchment Management Authority and the Victorian Environmental Water Holder, will involve pumping up to 20 megalitres from the Wimmera River into the billabong and monitoring changes to inform future management of the site.

The water is from the Victorian Environmental Water Holder’s Wimmera River and Glenelg River ‘water for the environment’ allocation.

Barengi Gadjin Land Council owns and manages The Ranch Billabong on the western side of the bridge over the Wimmera River at Dimboola.

Barengi Gadjin Land Council water officer and Wotjobaluk traditional owner Stuart Harradine said he was looking forward to the water restoring the site.

“Restoration of the billabong has been something our community has been keen to see for many years,” he said.

“Barengi Gadjin Land Council has received funding to help achieve some of its goals for the site, such as restoring native plant and animal habitats, and having water is a key part of this.”

The watering will lead to an improvement in the abundance of the plant old man weed, also known as sneezeweed.

The native wetland plant is a ‘mudflat’ species that grows when water levels recede and is traditionally important to the Wotjobaluk people for medicinal purposes.

“We are also improving access and knowledge sharing at the site with tracks and interpretative signage,” Mr Harradine said.

The Ranch Billabong area has been home to many generations of Wotjobaluk people, long before European settlement and increasingly after Ebenezer Mission at Antwerp closed.

A cultural connection to the site remains and Barengi Gadjin Land Council bought the land in 2005.

Plans for its management are included in a Growing What is Good Country Plan, Voices of the Wotjobaluk Nations project.

Wimmera CMA chief executive Da-

vid Brennan said the condition of the billabong had deteriorated significantly.

“Red gums are showing signs of stress, water quality is poor and there is a lack of aquatic and fringing plants that provide habitat for fish and bugs,” he said.

“The watering is expected to improve the health of stressed red gums, encourage re-establishment of plant life and improve water quality.

“This is an exciting project that will have cultural and environmental benefits and is the result of extensive community consultation and planning.”

This project has been funded in part via a statewide $4.7-million Aboriginal Water Program fund to recognise and understand aboriginal water values, uses and objectives. The State Government has provided part of the funding for the project.

Neale Daniher and the FightMND charity have thanked Stawell district residents who helped to raise more than $2000 to combat motor neuron disease.

Daniher, a prominent former VFLAFL footballer who was diagnosed with motor neuron disease in 2014, helped found FightMND to raise awareness and funds to search for a cure.

The charity began a ‘Daniher’s Drive’ initiative – a road trip through country communities to raise money – four years ago.

This year the drive stopped in Stawell, where business owners donated goods and services to aid fundraising efforts.

The Stawell leg featured activities such as a Stawell ‘egg and spoon’ gift and drew large crowds. The Stawell community raised $2378.75.

Overall, the drive raised $2.6-million, smashing its target of $1.5-million.

The convoy featured nearly 20 exAFL footballers, including Daniher.

Northern Grampians Shire mayor Kevin Erwin said the Stawell community had done itself proud with its fundraising efforts.

“It was great to meet Neale and his three brothers on the day as they continued their journey across the state,” he said.

“I’d like to congratulate the Stawell community for coming out in support and raising the amount of money they did for this terrible disease.”

Brass band to perform carols Natimuk Brass Band will perform for Natimuk Community Carols at Natimuk Nursing Home on December 23.

The band will play at 6.45pm before carols.

The band will also be playing a Christmas musical selection for patrons at Natimuk’s National Hotel on December 24.

Broad opens new community assets

T

he West Wimmera community has celebrated the opening of a redeveloped Lake Charlegrark precinct and the newly-built Goroke Little Desert Nature Playspace.

Federal Member for Mallee Andrew Broad, who attended official openings for both, said it was wonderful to see the projects come to fruition.

“The upgrades at Lake Charlegrark, including the installation of three-phase power, construction of new amenities and upgrades to the jetty and barbecues, will ensure the popular holiday spot welcomes campers for years to come,” he said.

Deputy Prime Minister and Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Minister Michael McCormack said the Goroke Little Desert Nature Playspace would give families a new outdoor space to enjoy, and contribute to the overall health and social wellbeing of the community.

“Both of these community-focused projects provide important infrastructure and are a sound investment in the future of west Wimmera,” he said.

Member for Western Victoria

REASON TO CELEBRATE: Federal Member for Mallee Andrew Broad officially opened the Goroke Little Desert Nature Playspace and a redeveloped Lake Charlegrark precinct, below, with community members.

Jaala Pulford added the projects had supported seven jobs and helped establish one ongoing job.

“Both projects provide a range of benefits to locals and visitors, offering more opportunities for the community to enjoy nature and engage in recreational activities,” she said.

West Wimmera Shire mayor Jodie Pretlove said the council was excited to have completed the two upgrades.

“Not only are these improvements extremely valuable to their

local communities but they’re also a great way to encourage tourism to our region,” she said.

The Federal Government invested $432,480 overall for the two projects, with the State Government providing $295,000, the council $55,139 and the regional community $168,000 to the Lake Charlegrark Precinct Development.

Goroke Apex Club contributed an additional $30,000 towards the Goroke Little Desert Nature Playspace.

“It was a fabulous day,” she said.

“There were many families out and about and apart from the races there were a variety of activities and attractions.

“We were absolutely delighted to be part of it all.”

Ms Bould said highlights included family fashions on the field as well as music from Wimmera band Acousticus Stomp, featuring Paul Christopher, Mal Schier and Jono Martin.

“There were plenty of children’s activities and there was just a great atmosphere and vibe where people made the most of each other’s company,” she said. “We proudly support these types of family events.”

SUMMER SKY: Turbulent weather across the region has produced an array of natural light shows, with everything from lightning and cloudbursts to dramatic sunsets.

Hedi Holtkamp of Horsham was keen to share a photograph she took from her verandah last week of one of many dramatic sunsets.

The State Government will provide free travel on public transport on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. Public Transport Minister Melissa Horne said free travel across the public-transport network would make it easier and safer for more Victorians to get out and visit family and friends, and to enjoy the festive celebrations.

Trains, trams, buses and V/Line services will be free from 3am Christmas Day until 3am Boxing Day, with services running to a Sunday timetable. Travel on trains, trams, buses and V/Line services will also be free from 6pm New Year’s Eve until 6am on New Year’s Day. For regional passengers, V/Line will operate additional services as well as night coaches from Southern Cross Station. Passengers returning home on New Year’s Day will be able to travel for free on the first service on each line. The new year also ushers in the annual adjustment to public transport fares, which this year will see fares increase by the Consumer Price Index value of 2.2 percent on average.

Dream retirement

e all have a vision of our perfect retirement. But whether it’s travelling

focus

around the country in a luxurious motor home, playing golf every day or spending more time with the grandkids, how do you accumulate enough to pay for your golden years?

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

How much do I need?

Lifestyle is a personal choice. The big question is: how much do you need to save while you are working to pay for your preferred retirement lifestyle? A good place to start is to calculate how much you need to meet basic living costs. You could use your current expenses as a guide, but keep in mind that these might be quite different during retirement.

What about the age pension?

The age pension is designed as a safety net for those who cannot self-fund their retirement.

A person receiving the base maximum single-rate age pension will receive $916.30 each fortnight, or $23,823.80 annually, while a couple entitled to the full rate will receive a combined amount of $1,381.40 each fortnight, or $35,916.40 annually.

This might be enough to cover basic essential expenses, but most retirees want a better standard of living and are more active in retirement than previous generations. For these people, the age pension won’t be enough.

Living a modest lifestyle

The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, ASFA, Retirement Standard provides an insight into the cost of different lifestyle options. First prepared in 2004, it benchmarks on a quarterly basis the annual budget Australians need to fund either a comfortable or a modest standard of living in retirement. The standard defines a modest retirement lifestyle as ‘better than the age pension, but still only able to afford fairly basic activities’.

The June 2018 ASFA figures suggest that a single person would need $27,425 a year to achieve this, while couples would need a combined income of $39,442.

Upgrading

The standard defines a comfortable retirement as one that enables ‘…an older, healthy retiree to be involved in a broad range of leisure and recreational activities and to have a good standard of living through the purchase of such things as: household goods, private health insurance, a reasonable car, good clothes, a range of electronic equipment, and domestic and occasionally international holiday travel’.

The September 2018 ASFA figures suggest that a single person would need $42,953 a year to have a comfortable lifestyle, while couples would need a combined amount of $60,604.

Obviously these figures are just a guide, and the actual amount needed to fund your preferred retirement lifestyle will depend on the choices you make about the things you want to do.

In conclusion

Regardless of how much you need, it’s important to start planning early to ensure you have enough to retire on. Your financial adviser can work with you to develop strategies that suit your individual circumstances and help you to look forward to enjoying your retirement dream.

What’s the best way to save?

If you want more than a basic lifestyle in retirement, you’ll need more than the age pension to live on. Your superannuation and non-superannuation savings will need to supplement the difference. Superannuation is the most tax-effective way to save for retirement. You can build your super through employer contributions, including salary sacrifice, your own contributions, spouse contributions and government co-contributions.

We often separate the events of the birth of the Saviour and those of his death and resurrection and treat them as individual events for which we need to celebrate and commemorate. They are both worthy of all our thoughts, prayers, repentance and faith. However, we need to remember that one without the other is futile. For if God had not sent His Son then the power of his suffering in Gethsemane, His death and ultimately His gift of life after this one, through His resurrection, would never have occurred. On the other hand, had these events not been able to occur, then His birth would not have been heralded by angels and we would not be celebrating it today. One scripture gives us everything; “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

Heavenly Father gave His Son for us. He allowed Him to be born into this world to live, teach, bless and perform miracles. He allowed Him to come to “take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death” and He allowed Him to come to “take upon him [our] infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people” (Alma 7:12). What a wonderful gift from our Heavenly Father.

This is why his birth was a miracle for us all. Not just because of the circumstances around how, where and when which are all symbolic in themselves, but because of what He was to bring to each of us who believed in Him. It was enough for the Angels to herald his birth by saying “good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day…. a Saviour.” (Luke 1:10-11).

What hope and love was expressed on that night that the shepherds heard these words. Good tidings of great joy to all people. Not just those who met him but I am convinced that to all people refers to all that have ever lived and to all that ever will live. These are those for whom he took upon infirmities – all people that ever and would ever live.

FESTIVE CHEER: Horsham Legacy widows gathered for a special Christmas lunch last week at Horsham City Bowling Club. The group enjoyed entertainment from the Wimmera Choir, who performed an array of carols, and were also treated to a visit from Santa and Mrs Clause.

Pictured at the function are, above, Ruth Ballinger and Claire McKenry, and left, Pat Young and Glenys Fort.

At this time of the year we remember even more clearly that on that day so many years ago, a Saviour was born. He was a sacred gift given by God to all of us, whose influence on us reaches through eternity. It is on this day that we should remember, as the Lord said to Nephi when his group of believers were facing impending death because of their belief in Him, “Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world” (1 Nephi 1:13) We can be of good cheer because He came to the world. We can feel the joy of those glad tidings knowing that He did all that He did to help us be happy in this life and feel the joy of eternal life.

Let us remember Him now and throughout this season. Let us carry this forward to those around us and do for them what we know He would do for us.

Have a wonderful Christ mas

Mitsubishi eyes all-time record

itsubishi Motors Australia Limited is on the cusp of achieving a sales record in 2018, with the Japanese car-maker making its presence felt as a top-five brand Down Under.

With just weeks to go until the end of the year, Mitsubishi has recorded 77,638 sales so far, keeping it well inside the top five behind Toyota, 201,070, Mazda, 103,151, and Hyundai, 88,421.

Mitsubishi – which was a local manufacturer until it closed its Adelaide factory in 2008 – now holds a significant lead over two other former Australian manufacturers, Ford, 63,851, and Holden, 55,929.

Speaking with journalists at a media event in Melbourne last week, Mitsubishi Motors Asustralia Limited chief operating officer Tony Principe said the company was on track to hit an all-time high in 2018, providing the market remained stable this month.

“We have got a pretty healthy gap now over Ford and Holden,” he said.

“And that share is obviously going up. Our record annual was back in 1998, with 81,651 units.

“We are sitting on 77,638. We hope to get about six to seven thousand in December.

“That depends on what happens – the market does seem to be drop-

COMING SOON: Mitsubishi will launch its heavily revised Triton in the first quarter of 2019.

ping fairly quickly. That will take us to somewhere around 83,000, which will be an all-time record for us in Australia.”

Mitsubishi’s sales took a hit when the factory was closed in 2008 – its tally dropped to 56,998 in 2009 – and after a few bumpy years, it has been on an upward trajectory ever since.

Its year-to-date 2018 sales are 8.4 percent ahead of the same period in 2017.

Mr Principe said Mitsubishi was

number three in terms of SUV sales, trailing Toyota, 76,078, and Mazda, 48,244, although with 47,888 units to the end of November, Mitsubishi is gaining on Mazda fast.

It is also third overall in the lightcommercial vehicle segment, with 22,896 units, behind Toyota, 66,345, and Ford, 40,544.

Mitsubishi’s only LCV offering is the Triton pick-up, while both Toyota and Ford offer multiple LCV models, including vans.

Mr Principe said stock of the discontinued Lancer small car would dry up sometime in the first quarter of 2019, leaving the Mirage city hatch as its only passenger car offering.

He said passenger cars currently made up about 10 percent of Mitsubishi’s overall volume in Australia at the moment, but when the Lancer runs out that will drop to about five percent.

Mr Principe said he expected the overall Australian new-vehicle market to remain flat in 2019, and described

the economic climate as ‘quite unstable’.

“Consumer confidence seems to be dropping,” he said.

“Housing prices are obviously top of mind, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne, and it is causing people to get a little bit nervous.

“But I guess at this stage we think maybe we hope it will flatten out.

“Next year passenger sales will keep dropping, SUV will grow a little bit and LCV will grow a little bit.”

Mitsubishi’s most important newmodel launch next year will be the heavily revised Triton pick-up that hits showrooms in early January.

The new model was revealed in early November and ushers in a bold new front-end design and an increase in comfort and safety gear.

Mitsubishi has also confirmed it will launch Black Edition versions of its Mirage hatch, Eclipse Cross small SUV, Outlander mid-size SUV and the Pajero Sport large SUV. So far pricing has only been released for the Outlander Black Edition – which adds black exterior flourishes – and it starts at $32,890 excluding on-road costs for the two-wheel drive and $35,390 for the all-wheel drive.

Five stars for BMW, Holden SUVs

T

he Australasian New Car Assessment Program, ANCAP, has given the Holden Acadia and BMW X5 large SUVs its highly desired five-star safety rating, with both critical new models putting in strong overall performances during testing.

The Acadia excelled in the adult occupant category, scoring 94 percent to the X5’s also-impressive 89 percent, with the former providing ‘adequate’ driver’s chest and lower left-leg protection in the frontal offset crash test.

‘Adequate’ neck and ‘weak’ chest protection were offered to the rear passenger in the full-width frontal crash test, while ‘adequate’ chest protection was provided to the driver in the oblique pole crash test. Protection for other occupant limbs in all tests was rated as ‘good’.

ANCAP chief executive James Goodwin said the results were impressive.

“It is encouraging to see Holden offer such a strong safety performer in this competitive family SUV segment,” he said.

Comparatively, the X5 offered the driver ‘adequate’ chest and lower right-leg, and ‘weak’ upper-leg protection in the frontal offset crash test, while ‘adequate’ protection was provided for the driver’s chest and upper legs, and rear passenger’s chest in the full-width frontal crash test.

“Engineers noted concerns with the

TOP RATING: BMW’s X5 large sedan during ANCAP testing. deployment of the knee airbag, and a penalty was applied against the test results of both the frontal offset and fullwidth frontal tests,” Mr Goodwin said.

“Areas of the dash were also identified as a potential source of injury for the driver’s knees, and penalties were applied.”

‘Marginal’ chest protection was offered to the driver in the oblique pole crash test, while other occupant limbs were provided with ‘good’ protection in all tests.

The Acadia and X5 were inseparable in the child occupant category, scoring

87 percent and offering ‘adequate’ neck protection for the 10-year-old dummy in the frontal offset crash test.

Both models are fitted with lower ISOFIX anchorages on their outboard rear seats alongside top tether anchorages for their second rows, but the X5 misses out on the latter for its third row, while the Acadia does not.

The X5 edged the Acadia by one percent in the vulnerable road-user category, scoring 75 percent.

The pair mostly provided ‘good’ and ‘adequate’ head protection in the pedestrian impact test.

‘Weak’ and ‘poor’ results were recorded along the front of the X5’s bonnet, while the Acadia had the same return at the base of its windshield and along its A-pillars.

‘Poor’ pelvis protection was offered by the X5, while a mixed bag of ‘marginal’ and ‘good’ lower-leg protection was provided by the Acadia.

The Acadia returned fire in the safety assist category, scoring 86 percent to the X5’s 71 percent.

This result came despite its autonomous emergency braking system being rated as ‘adequate’ in six tests

and ‘marginal’ in one. “The collision-avoidance technologies fitted to the Acadia performed very well,” Mr Goodwin said.

“Full points were scored in testing of its lane support systems, autonomously maintaining lane position within line markings, as well as the unmarked road edge.

“The Acadia also intervened in overtaking scenarios, passing the more critical emergency lane keeping tests.”

Conversely, the X5’s lane-keep assist system was rated as ‘adequate’ overall due to its inability to intervene in emergency situations, such as when drifting into the lane of an oncoming vehicle.

“The X5’s autonomous emergency braking system scored close to full points across all test scenarios for the avoidance of pedestrians and cyclists in both daylight and night-time conditions,” Mr Goodwin said.

Both models have seatbelt reminders for all seating positions, but occupant detection is not available in their second and third rows.

The five-star rating applies to all six of the Acadia’s variants but only two of the X5’s grades – xDrive30d and M50d – with ANCAP awaiting further information from BMW that will determine if its stamp of approval is extended to the xDrive40i due in the first quarter of next year.

TOUGH TEST: Holden’s Acadia came away with a five-star rating following extensive Australasian New Car Assessment Program testing.

Hyundai updates sedan range

H

yundai Motor Company Australia has given its Elantra small sedan range a major update with refreshed styling, new equipment, revised pricing and a new entry-level Go variant first introduced on other Hyundai model lines.

While the $21,950 before on-roads Active manual used to open the range, the Go now undercuts it at $21,490 with the six-speed manual, rising to $24,250 for the six-speed automatic.

The Active, now offered only with the auto, moves further upstream at $25,990.

The penultimate Elite trim level has been deleted, while the top-spec SR variant with the 1.6-litre turbocharged engine has been split into two new variants, Sport and Sport Premium.

Pricing for Sport and Sport Premium have yet to be released, however, buyers should expect an asking price ranging from the high-$20,000 to mid$30,000 mark.

The Go and Active are on sale now, while the Sport and Sport Premium are expected to come on stream in the next month or two.

Styling has been overhauled for the refreshed model, with edgy triangular headlights replacing the more rounded lights of its predecessor, while the grille and front bumper have also

FRESH LOOK: Hyundai’s Elantra small sedan range has been restyled. been given a more angular look. At the rear, the tail-lights are also more angular with a squared-off boot lid and ‘Elantra’ badging taking place of the number plate, which has been moved to below the boot.

New wheel designs are available for 2019, including 10-spoke covers for the Go’s 15-inch steel wheels and new 16-inch hoops for Active.

The interior has also been lightly tweaked with redesigned air-conditioning vents and dials, a new steering wheel and a 3.5-inch instrument

cluster display. Powertrains carry over from the outgoing range, with Go and Active versions powered by a 2.0-litre aspirated petrol engine developing 112kW and 192Nm, while Sport and Sport Premium use the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol unit pumping out 150kW265Nm paired to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

As an entry-level variant, Hyundai Motor Company Australia has aimed to maximise value for money with the Go, including standard specifica-

tion such as six airbags, automatic headlights, daytime running lights, reversing camera, full-size spare wheel, cruise control, tinted power windows, tilt and reach steering wheel adjustment and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Active builds on the specification of the Go and adds 16-inch alloys, an 8.0-inch infotainment system with satellite navigation, DAB+ digital radio and an Infinity sound system, rear parking sensors, power folding exte-

rior mirrors with LED lights, vanity mirror lights and a leather-appointed steering wheel and gear knob.

Hyundai Motor Company Australia is yet to detail the specification of the Sport and Sport Premium.

Automatic versions of both the Go and Active will be optionally available with the $1700 SmartSense active safety package, which includes forward collision warning, blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, active cruise control, lane keep assist and driver attention alert.

Go versions also score the power folding mirrors that are standard on Active.

Metallic paint is the only other available option, which costs $495 across all variants.

Like other Hyundai models, the Elantra comes with an Australianspecific suspension and handling tune for a more compliant ride quality.

With one month left in 2018, Hyundai has sold 3615 examples of the Elantra, a significant 31.1 percent slide compared to the 5246 it sold over the same period last year.

It trails the leaders in the small car segment such as the Toyota Corolla, 33,009, Mazda3, 28,780, and its mechanically related i30 stablemate, 26,416.

Order book open for BMW series

B

MW Group Australia has confirmed pricing and specification for its new 8 Series coupe and convertible, kicking off at $272,900 before on-road costs for the M850i xDrive two-door and $281,900 for the drop-top.

Deliveries are earmarked for March next year.

BMW has also confirmed rear-wheel sDrive variants in the future, however exact timing and expected lower pricing is yet to be revealed.

The new 8 Series resurrects the nameplate of BMW’s early ’90s sportscar and, in M850i form, boasts a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 that develops 390kW of power and 750Nm of torque.

Although the M850i shares similar engine basics with the M5 competition, power falls short of the flagship 5 Series’ 460kW, while torque is matched.

However, the M850i coupe will still scorch the zero to 100kmh sprint in just 3.7 seconds, with the convertible clocking in at 3.9 seconds.

A hotter 8 Series coupe, dubbed the M8, is also expected to arrive Down Under sometime next year, powered by the same 4.4-litre bi-turbo V8 that could be tuned to match, or even exceed, the M5 competition.

READY TO ROLL: BMW Group Australia has confirmed pricing and specification for its new 8 Series coupe and convertible, expected to arrive in March next year. show earlier this year, dubbed M8 Gran Coupe, which would play as a rival for the likes of the MercedesAMG GT 4-door coupe and Porsche Panamera.

GoAuto expects the Gran Coupe sedan will arrive in Australia in some form next year, however, BMW’s official line remains ‘we are still weighing up all our options’.

While the 8 Series plays at the top end of the sportscar performance market, BMW Group Australia chief executive Vikram Pawah believes it will also attract buyers looking for luxury.

“The classic coupe body caters to customers who are seeking that classic sporting feel, and the convertible provides an option for those who enjoy an open-air touring experience” he said.

“With the latest technology, supreme performance and sophisticated interior design, both variants will set the benchmark within the luxury sports segment and are a clear statement of intent for BMW. “These vehicles are a fantastic demonstration of modern-day luxury without compromising performance and handling.”

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

The M850i benefits from the M Performance parts catalogue, featuring adaptive suspension, a rear limitedslip differential, active anti-roll stabilisation and integral active steering.

20-inch wheels are fitted on all four corners, however, the M850i uses mixed-sized tyres that measure 24535-R20 at the front and 275-30-R20 at the rear. A sports exhaust system is also fitted as standard.

Power is filtered through an eightspeed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission that features BMW’s ConnectedShift technology, which

uses the navigation system to anticipate driver requirements and match gear selections with the road environment in real time. Clad in Merino premium leather, the interior also hosts the latest version of BMW’s Live Cockpit Professional system displayed on a 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster with a head-up display.

Infotainment is displayed on a 10.25-inch screen.

The Convertible sports a fabric top which can be operated automatically with the touch of a button, and will open and close in 15 seconds at speeds up to 50kmh. Customers can also tick a no-cost option box for an Anthracite Silver roof.

On the coupe, BMW uses a carbonfibre roof with a double-bubble design, which extends to the rear bootlip spoiler and sits above slimline L-shaped LED tail-lights and dual trapezoidal exhaust tips.

Dimensionally, both the coupe and convertible are near identical at 4851mm long, 1902mm wide, and with a wheelbase of 2822mm, however, the drop-top is 1mm shorter in height.

The convertible also has less luggage space due to the retractable roof mechanism. Specifically, the coupe carries 420 litres of gear, while the convertible will cart 350L.

School leavers look to the future

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

W

immera high school graduates of 2018 can now turn their eyes to the future after receiving ATAR scores on Friday.

Students across the region achieved high scores, including several in the 90s.

Ararat Marian College student Breanne Cole achieved the highest ATAR score of any Wimmera student with a score of 98.05.

She narrowly edged out Horsham St Brigid’s College student Gerard Natividad, who scored 98.00.

Horsham College’s Harley Dickerson was his college’s dux with a score of 92.90.

Natividad and Dickerson were captains at their respective schools, as was Murtoa College’s Maddison Morgan, who topped her school with a score of 91.80.

Donald High School’s Marco Sy was the highest achieving student at his school with an ATAR of 87.45.

Warracknabeal Secondary College’s dux was Rebecca Hunter with 88.60.

Dimboola Memorial Secondary College’s Caitlyn Glover and Edenhope College’s Jasmin Tucker were their school’s duxes, but their scores were not released.

Kaniva and Stawell colleges will announce their duxes this week.

Nhill College principal Mark Zimmerman said his school awarded its dux not to the student with the highest ATAR, but the student with the

Picture: COLIN MacGILLIVRAY highest aggregate study scores before scaling.

Courtney Koop was the school’s dux after achieving an ATAR of 84.85, while Charlotte Kube had the highest ATAR with 87.35.

Mr Zimmerman praised the college’s year 12s as ‘a fantastic bunch of students’ and wished them well for the future.

Marian College principal Carmel

Barker said the college was proud of its students for their hard work during the year.

She said dux Breanne Cole wanted to recognise fellow students Cameron Hancock and Gabrielle McGuckian, who also achieved ATARs in the 90s.

Horsham College’s Dickerson said he would pursue a law degree at Monash University.

“I made the decision to push hard for

a score of 90-plus at the start of the year, so to get above that is fantastic,” he said.

“What worked for me was doing all my work once I got it.

“I know other people have their own study routines, but I found that doing everything as soon as I got it helped keep things simple.”

Horsham College careers and pathways advisor Caroline O’Donnell said

it was important for students to remember there were other pathways towards dream careers if they did not achieve the scores they wanted.

“Our careers office will be open until the change of preference period closes, and there are a range of pathways to almost any career,” she said.

“There are a lot of options for students out there.”

Help available in stessful time National youth mental-health foundation headspace has reminded secondary school graduates that their final mark at the end of year-12 far from defines them.

The organisation has also stressed that support was readily available to help young people navigate through a period of change.

Headspace, which has a centre in Hamilton Street in Horsham, made the statement as students received their Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking, or ATAR scores.

Headspace vocational programs manager Carolyn Watts said the move from school to study or the workforce was a big transition and could impact on a young person’s mental health and wellbeing.

She said the move could bring up many questions about the future, pathways and next steps.

“If work and study is beginning to affect a young person’s mental health it is important for them to know they can access professional support through their GP, local headspace centre, or online and telephone and counselling service eheadspace,” she said.

“There are also services available to support young people in tackling their work or study aspirations and helping them with their preparation to enter employment or further study.”

Ms Watts said ending secondary school was an important time for young people to ask for help, both through their family and personal networks as well as through appropriate services.

“We can place a lot of pressure on school leavers to know what they are doing next, and expect them to have the skills to navigate this time,” she said.

“But this isn’t easy. Young people today need to develop the mindset and skills to move between a range of roles in a number of fields throughout their working life.

“It’s important that we encourage our school leavers to look for opportunities that will allow Wednesday, December 19, 2018

them to build their employability skills and confidence, rather than focusing on traditional ideas of a dream job or job for life.

“We need to make it clear to young people that there is always a pathway to reach their goal.”

Headspace Horsham manager Liz Rowe encouraged young people trying to deal with anxiety to use headspace resources such as as online Instagram feed #GramFamA. “The incentive aims to help share experiences and practical advice for people dealing with anxiety or stress on receiving their end-of-school results,” she said.

“It encourages students to come together and support each other on Instagram.”

The Instagram feed features prominent Australians joining in conversations.

Ms Rowe said headspace Horsham was open to any young person in the region experiencing difficulties.

“If young people are feeling a bit down and not happy about results, don’t hesitate in calling or using our services,” she said.

Figures show that 27 percent of young people who present to a headspace centre are not engaged in employment or training, highlighting a link between mental health and active engagement in work and study.

Headspace has developed vocational services that can provide young people with intensive support with a career specialist or mentor over the phone or online.

These services recognise the added impacts of mental health on job seeking.

Marian College Marian College would like to congratulate all Year 12 students on their great success in 2018.

We commend them on their hard work, diligence, great community spirit and friendship over the past six years.

Development on wish list A

BY DEAN LAWSON

concentrated effort combining regional infrastructure and research development with an aim to generate financial growth in industry sits at the top of a regional wish list for the new year.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said 2019 presented an opportunity for state and federal governments to work together on regional programs that would ultimately benefit the Wimmera and southern Mallee.

Mr Jochinke, also Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership chairman, said he hoped a major spinoff of all the strategic pieces coming together would be further progress of a Networked Centre of Grains Excellence.

“The business case for the centre is with the State Government and we will see how that progresses,” he said.

“But hopefully things that are going on at state and federal government level come together and work well for the region.”

Mr Jochinke said the State Government had made a commitment to use infrastructure programs across Victoria as a key development driver and that was important for the Wimmera.

“There is a need for infrastructure work across the region, especially in roads and telecommunications, and this of course leads into research and development,” he said.

“There is a federal election coming up in the new year and we’re hoping there is a solid commitment, from whoever wins, for research and development models to continue and to

make sure they are based on producing commercial outcomes.

“We need research that helps industry generate money.

“Having that commercial nous combined with research is something we’re always keen to see.

“We need a reconfirmation of that and to have plans to work with research and development organisations to make sure that is what they’re focussed on.

“State Government infrastructure programs combined with Federal Government support for research should fit in beautifully with the Wimmera and especially with a project such as the Networked Centre of Grains Excellence.

“Such progress would deliver not only the short-term, but long-term viability of agriculture in the region.”

The proposed network project, born from the Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Assembly, is designed to ramp up the region’s role in national agri-tech science and grains research, education and technology.

The State Government provided $250,000 for a study into the concept, which involves developing an integrated system drawing on agricultural knowhow across the region.

A broad brief is to use the region’s collective strength to enhance and develop industry opportunities and innovation. This would be based on turning science into economic benefit and regional prosperity.

A physical anchor point for an ‘innovation cluster’ would be at Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park.

Corporation events open for registration Registrations are open for Grains Research and Development Corporation events throughout Victoria in early 2019.

GRDC Grains Research Updates and Farm Business Updates – designed to inform graingrowers’ decision-making leading into next year’s cropping season, and beyond – will be in February and March.

GRDC southern region grower-relations manager Courtney Ramsey said information, insight and advice to be presented at the sessions had the potential to underpin improved agronomic practices and farm-business operations for increased profitability.

“The updates will each feature a line-up of expert speakers who will deliver the latest findings from GRDC research investments, which have relevance to and implications for the state’s growers,” she said.

“Further opportunities to generate profit growth within Victoria’s grain-growing enterpris-

Wednesday, December 19, 2018

es will be explored at GRDC Farm Business Updates, where the economic implications of practice change by growers and adoption of new technologies will be investigated.”

The updates will start on February 26 and 27, when the Victoria’s premier grains research, development and extension event is in Bendigo.

The Bendigo update plays an important role in enabling researchers to transfer their knowledge from GRDC investments to advisers and growers, and for showcasing the latest developments in technology.

Regional Grains Research Updates will be at Dunkeld on February 28, Hopetoun on March 14 and Boort on March 15.

Farm Business Updates will be at Sale on March 6 and Geelong on March 14.

Rain brings mixed bag 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Torrential rain across the Wimmera and southern Mallee in the past week has provided a double-edged sword to regional broadacre farmers already dealing with a tough season.

While many who are still stripping crops are hoping for a quick return to warm and windy conditions, others have welcomed sodden conditions as a potential springboard into the new year.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said he suspected most northern areas had finished harvest, Wimmera farmers were about 80 percent finished and growers south of the ranges were in full swing.

“It varies a lot because crops haven’t matured and ripened evenly due to dry growing conditions,” he said.

“Farmers in the south would be particularly looking for some quick drying conditions because many have hopes of a reasonable return.

“We need some wind to keep down levels of humidity, which can cause downgrades. Much will also come down to how heavy the rain came down – whether it shattered seed pods or knocked them to the ground.”

Mr Jochinke said a potential silver lining for many might be that the heavy rain would recharge an extremely dry soil profile.

“Unfortunately we can’t call it a break. If it had come three months ago we would be talking about a different season altogether,” he said.

“But at least what it does is set up some areas that will be of benefit to livestock and grain growers.

“The bucket was pretty empty when it came to soil moisture.

“There will be a need for a summer spray that farmers have to do early, which will help in retaining the moisture for the next growing season.”

Much of the region was awash last week, especially in the southern Mallee and parts of the Wimmera.

A Prime Minister fail I

hate to tell you, ‘I told you so’, and not because I was right on the Federal Government’s drought policy, because it would be so much better if I was wrong.

Let’s cast our minds back to when Scott Morrison became Prime Minister.

It might seem like time travel, but it’s only four months ago.

What was one of the very first things he did? A drought tour. Remember?

In my column at the time, I wrote: “The simple fact of the matter is governments have always grappled with drought policy and are yet to come up with a resounding solution. Let’s hope our new Prime Minister, for his sake at least, does more than just strut his stuff and then dust off his hat and head back to Canberra. If a very real commitment to supporting farmers isn’t given, it will be seen very clearly for what it is.”

Within a month we had all sorts of promises and appointments – a $5-billion future drought fund that no one seems quite sure how to spend, a drought summit, a national drought co-ordinator in Major General Stephen Day, and of course, the rather peculiar announcement of Barnaby Joyce as the special drought envoy. Very special indeed.

As one farmer put it to me, ‘Barnaby

Wednesday, December 19, 2018

Country Today with Libby Price

brought agriculture into focus when he was first elected. Since then, well, what an embarrassment’.

Frankly, Mr Joyce seems far too self-absorbed in his personal problems than he is on coming up with any meaningful national drought policy.

The day before the drought summit, I attended a Farmers for Climate Action conference.

Farmers and farm leaders from across Australia were there.

The chitchat over lunch was, not surprisingly, general disappointment in the Federal Government’s inability to take climate change seriously.

A leading agricultural policy maker spoke of his fear the drought summit would be just another, ‘photo opportunity for the Federal Government to look as if it cares and is doing something about drought’.

This week was the Morrison government’s last chance.

The Council of Australia Governments meeting – you might be more familiar with the acronym COAG

– where a new inter-governmental drought agreement was reached.

By all reports, it was pretty much signing off on what drought assistance has already been available.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke was disappointed with what the agreement did not include.

“The only change that we really saw in the language was recognition that drought was a national issue,” Mr Jockhinke told County Today.

“We’ve really missed an opportunity at COAG to put that strategic framework in place for a national drought approach.”

He also said he received several phone calls a week from farmers venting their frustration at the lack of direction in federal climate change policy.

Hardly surprising with both the Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister David Littleproud unwilling to blame climate change on human activity.

To quote Mr Littleproud, ‘I don’t give a rat’s if it’s man-made or not’.

The PM must be breathing a sigh of relief at last week’s flooding rains across eastern Australia.

Nothing like a flood or two to take the attention away from drought policy.

Warning to grain growers Researchers are urging grain growers to test the seed they intend to retain for next year’s pulse crop to avoid disease issues in 2019.

Despite dry conditions, there have been significant levels of bacterial blight in field peas.

Agriculture Victoria research pulse pathologist Dr Joshua Fanning said many crop diseases were seed-borne and could be transmitted to the following crop.

He said growers could minimise losses from these diseases by only using high-quality seed.

“Seed health tests detect the important seed-borne pathogens and will identify potential disease problems, allowing steps to be taken to reduce the disease risk prior to sowing,” Dr Fanning said.”

“Seed with high levels of seedborne disease should not be used

for sowing.” Fellow Agriculture Victoria research scientist Dr Pragya Kant has been assessing field pea crops for bacterial blight this season and has found the presence of the disease to be widespread.

She said this was a result of many spring frosts causing damage to the plant, which allowed infection to occur.

Agriculture Victoria plant virologist Dr Mohammad Aftab said seed testing would also provide growers with assurance that seedborne viruses were not present in their seedlot.

Agriculture Victoria offers seed testing services.

Confidence low after a dry season A

survey into Victorian farmer confidence has revealed a generally pessimistic outlook for the next 12 months, based on a dry 2018.

A final Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey for 2018 showed Victorian farmer confidence remaining subdued at near-decade lows.

It found half of the state’s farmers were pessimistic about their prospects for the year ahead, with drought the primary concern.

Despite ongoing seasonal concerns, 95 percent of surveyed farming businesses in Victoria indicated a level of preparedness for drought – with more than half stating they were more prepared now than five years ago.

The latest survey, completed in November, found rural sentiment in the state had changed little from the last quarter, with 50 percent of Victorian farmers surveyed expecting conditions in the agricultural economy to worsen in the next 12 months.

This was compared with with 51 percent in the previous survey.

Drought remained the key driver of this pessimistic sentiment, cited by 94 percent as the reason conditions were likely to deteriorate.

Farmers expecting conditions in the agricultural economy to improve stood at 18 percent, up from a previous 14 percent, while 28 percent expected similar conditions to the previous 12 months.

Rabobank regional manager for Southern Victoria and Tasmania Hamish McAlpin said confidence was relatively subdued in grain, beef and sheep – albeit tracking above last quarter’s levels.

“The dry start to spring and a series of frost events have taken their toll on the grains crop, with quite significant frost damage reported in areas west of Ballarat and around Horsham,” he said.

“But thankfully, frost-damaged crops that have been cut for hay have still been able to realise good returns.”

Mr McAlpin said Victoria’s winter crop was expected to be down about 40 percent on last year’s strong harvest result, with the multiple frosts and dry start to spring limiting grain filling.

“Also incentivised by high fodder prices, upwards of 50 percent of planted area will not be harvested for grain in the Wimmera and Northern Central region,” he said.

“However, there will still be some good yields in areas such as Hamilton and those crops around Horsham that have not been frost affect-

ed are yielding better than expected given how dry it has been.”

With availability of grain tight, Mr McAlpin said the cost of feeding livestock was weighing on the minds of beef and sheep graziers.

“The decisions facing graziers are becoming tougher, as many have already made decisions around the sale of older or younger stock, and are now weighing up whether to sell breeding animals,” he said.

Dairy

Mr McAlpin said circumstances were particularly challenging for the dairy industry, with 61 percent of surveyed dairy farmers reporting a pessimistic outlook, up from 47 percent with that view in the September quarter.

“The dry season has increased the requirement for, and the cost of, bought-in feed and water for dairy farmers, particularly in the Murray dairy region,” he said.

“These input prices are around double that of last year and there is little relief for margins foreseen in 2019.

“This could see a sizeable drop in milk production in this northern region and, if it eventuates, the national milk pool is at risk of falling to its lowest level in two decades.”

With little change in overall confidence levels, farmers’ expectations about their gross farm incomes also remained relatively in line with last quarter.

A total of 43 percent of Victorian farmers surveyed were expecting their incomes to fall in the coming year – up slightly from 38 percent in the previous survey – while 36 percent expected similar incomes to the past 12 months.

Those expecting an improved financial position stood at 22 percent, the same percentage as last quarter.

Longer-term confidence in the Victorian sector remained relatively sound, however, as reflected in farmers’ investment intentions for the coming year – with 17 percent looking to increase their investment, and the majority, 67 percent, planning to maintain current levels.

CHRISTMAS DESIGN: Member for Lowan Emma Kealy with Casterton Primary School’s Kira Charlton and her classmates.

Christmas card winner Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has used a design by Casterton year-five student Kira Charlton as the cover for her 2018 Christmas card.

Ms Kealy wrote to all primary schools in the electorate, inviting students to design the cover of her Christmas card.

She said she asked students to depict what they loved best about their area, with a touch of Christmas.

“They were also given the opportunity to explain their artwork in 25 words,” she said.

“I wanted a design that meaningfully represented our great part of the state,” she said.

“I loved that Kira captured

the significance of Casterton being the birthplace of the kelpie sheepdog, which is iconic to Australia and a significant part of Casterton’s heritage.

“Kira described her drawing as ‘Santa and his kelpie down at the river with a beautiful sunset that we get here in Casterton’.

“The artistic talent of our youth is outstanding.

“It was fabulous to see so many impressive entries, which detailed our local silo art trail, the Grampians National Park including Halls Gap Zoo, many of our local lakes and rivers, sporting passions and our diverse agricultural industries.

“Many other students who produced highly commendable artwork will receive a prize in appreciation for their outstanding efforts.”

Ms Kealy said she received almost 400 entries from 14 schools across the Lowan electorate.

“I will be proudly displaying some of these entries in my electorate office window,” she said.

“This is the fourth year I have asked students to help design my Christmas card.

A water playground H

BY DEAN LAWSON

eavy rain in early December left much of the region awash and provided plenty of hints into what will be on offer for people, especially families in the region, during the summer holiday period.

Water has long been a critical part of life in the Wimmera, Grampians and Mallee and the overall region promises to provide a summer playground.

Whether it is in the region’s community aquatic centres and swimming pools or our wonderful lakes and rivers, all provide an outlet for youthful energy.

Research during the past couple of years, in confirming the socio-economic value of recreation and environmental water, has provided a clear picture about the benefits of our watery assets.

And the message is, make the most of them this summer and get out and enjoy the circumstances – indoors or outdoors.

Obviously a key part of making a splash is to always take precautions and be safe.

There are plenty ways to have fun without taking serious risks.

As well as an opportunity to escape the holiday heat with a simple dip in

our community pools, there are also plenty of children’s activities on offer. Horsham Aquatic Centre, for example, has a huge holiday program.

A commitment to provide recreation water for communities across the region means our lakes, from the Grampians to the Mallee, represent an enticing attraction.

Whether it be relaxing under a tree with a book as water laps on a beach, having a gentle paddle in a kayak or firing up on the excitement of water-skiing, sailing, paddle-boarding and so on – there is plenty to do.

But it doesn’t end there, there is more to making the most of water this summer apart from swimming and challenging yourself with physical adventure.

For those keen for the hunt, the warm weather, combined with plenty of fresh water having flowed into our waterways, suggests it is the time to drag out the fishing rod or yabby net.

The warm months of the year prompt native fish such as yellowbelly, silver perch and Murray cod and the old favourites redfin and trout into action and lure yabbies out of a state of torpor.

Yabbies also respond to the arrival of fresh water, which means the rain we’ve had of late might have been the trigger that freshwater crayfish hunters have been waiting to exploit.

Again, when chasing fish and yabbies, make sure you follow rules and regulations and be safe.

There are plenty of lake and river opportunities to go fishing in our region.

In summer, the Wimmera River, which in many places is readily accessible with a bicycle, can be as good and productive a place as any to drop a line.

Of course the Wimmera offers opportunities for people interested only in perhaps sightseeing and family picnics.

Our lakes and wetlands provide stunning vistas and are often sanctuaries for wildlife.

There are some key warnings people need to observe while making the most of their holiday activities in the region.

For a start, people should be aware of the dangers of sun exposure and apply plenty of sunscreen and wear appropriate clothing and hats.

They need to be conscious of a potential danger with little children and private pools and the potential of submerged hazards in rivers and lakes.

Beware of anyone thumbing their nose at safety rules and everyone on the water should always check the weather forecasts and make sure they have first-aid plans.

COOL: Horsham friends Lucinda Ferguson and Georgia Walsh enjoy a swim at a Horsham Aquatic Centre pool party.

we hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break

Horsham gallery the place to be

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

H

orsham Town Hall and Horsham Regional Art Gallery have announced a 2019 school holiday program full of performing and creative arts opportunities for children.

The town hall’s Handbury Education Centre will host a range of workshops covering everything from mono printing to dot render drawing, cooking to theatrical lighting.

The programs are aimed at children aged seven to 17.

The sessions will be between January 15 and 25, and cost $12 or $10 for Horsham Town Hall members.

The gallery has also opened a trio of new exhibitions ahead of the summer holidays.

A launch for the exhibitions, attended by about 60 people, was at the gallery on Friday night.

Gallery curator Michelle Mountain said the exhibitions – Interference Pattern, On a Tangent, and a collection of the gallery’s recent acquisitions – presented a unique variety of works

by Australian artists.

“Interference Pattern is by a pair of artists called Vivian Cooper Smith and Rebecca Najdowski,” she said.

“They’ve created a massive installation of landscape photography where

SHOWCASE: Horsham Regional Art Gallery curator Michelle Mountain points out some of the gallery’s new artworks, which will be exhibited until February 24.

Picture: LUKE HOBBS On a Tangent features the works of seven artists – Catherine Bell, Minna Gilligan, Laresa Kosloff, Jesse Marlow, Alasdair McLuckie, Michael GF Prior and Cathy Staughton.

“The exhibition is about how most creative works and creative practices benefit from going off on a tangent,” Ms Mountain said.

“It looks at the tangential forces on the work of different artists.

they play with the landscapes. Rebecca uses analog photography and pokes holes with pens through the negatives, or burns them, or cuts up the prints afterwards to disrupt our understanding of the landscape.

“Vivian uses digital photography and long exposures and multiple exposures to do the same. They’re coming from different points of view, but doing the same thing.”

“Alasdair McLuckie was doing a lot of beading at one stage, but at night he was going home and sketching a lot of biro pen drawings as a creative release.

“He never intended those to become artworks, but they have formed their own body of work.”

Ms Mountain said the gallery’s recent acquisitions exhibition contained many photographs by indigenous artists.

“Indigenous photography is part of the collection we’re very proud of and try to keep growing,” she said.

Smith and Najdowski gave a talk titled ‘Getting loose with landscape’ on Saturday, explaining how they created their artworks.

Ms Mountain said the talk was well received by attendees.

She said the gallery would run a folio starter course for Victorian Certificate of Education students from January 14 to 18.

The free course, which will be hosted by artist Minna Gilligan, will help 2019 VCE art students begin to create a folio.

At the conclusion of the course Ms Gilligan will host an art party, where students can make collages.

The three new exhibitions will continue until February 24.

(March 21 - April 20) Lucky Colour: Red Lucky Day: Saturday Racing Numbers: 9-5-3-8 Lotto Numbers: 18-24-26-21-32-33 Attention to details during this period is vital and anything you sign should be looked into by professionals. Some problems could arise on the domestic sector but nothing you can’t handle.

TAURUS:

(April 21 - May 20) Lucky Colour: Light Blue Lucky Day: Wednesday Racing Numbers: 2-9-6-3 Lotto Numbers: 3-12-21-24-26-42 You could be more interested in having fun than doing what you should just now. Do the important matters first and then you can let yourself go and enjoy life also. Some luck with a Cancer person.

GEMINI:

(May 21 - June 21) Lucky Colour: Green Lucky Day: Saturday Racing Numbers: 3-5-4-2 Lotto Numbers: 5-9-17-22-28-42 You could be in need of some kind of advice and when you get it make sure you use it wisely. Legal and real estate matters should be handled with care and by experts. Romance should be improving.

CANCER:

(June 22 - July 22) Lucky Colour: Red Lucky Day: Monday Racing Numbers: 2-7-8-9 Lotto Numbers: 2-13-16-27-32-36 If you have been showing your best side to your superiors now could be the time when you can benefit from it.

Something you did well in the past will be bringing you rewards now.

2. Horticulture. The hub involves a partnership between renewable-energy company Neoen and Nectar Farms. 3. Paul Burns. 4. Baby Animals. 5. Clark and Ellen Griswold and their children Rusty and Audrey. 6. A pig in a poke. In other words: ‘don’t buy a pig until you have seen it’. It is enshrined in British commercial law as ‘caveat emptor’, Latin for ‘let the buyer beware’. A poke is a type of bag or sack that might or might not contain a pig and in fact hold a lesser animal such as a cat. This leads to another expression – ‘letting the cat out of the bag’. 7. Malthoid. 8. True. Untreated sleep apnoea can cause stroke or heart failure.

9. Swifts-Great Western, St Andrews, Aradale, Youth Club, Halls Gap, Buangor-Tatyoon and Pomonal. 10. Moby-Dick.

Thank you

I have finally found a moment of calm, to sit and write a thank you to the many who have been there to support my family and myself after suffering a cardiac arrest.

A heartfelt thank you to the quick response of paramedics, Fiona, Jim and Carol. I cannot express how grateful I am for the care and support you not only gave me, but to my family and friends as well.

To my three guardian angels, Kylie, Lees and Ev. We were meant to be together this day and I am so lucky that you were there with me and for all the visits and messages that you continue to send each day. Our friendship I will cherish forever.

Thank you to Dr Travis and the wonderful nurses in Emergency at Wimmera Health Centre for your expert care.

To Mr Michael Rowland and North 1 at Cabrina Hospital and Dr Chris Hegel at St John of God Ballarat and the rehabilitation ward. You were all totally amazing and I am thankful for all your care and guidance with my surgery and my recovery. To Yvonne Cymbalist, Krystal and WHCG Cardio Rehab for your ongoing care and support.

Everyone who has sent messages, flowers, food or visited, I was truly overwhelmed.

Thank you to St Brigid’s college for organising slices to help with our Ram sale and to everyone else who brought food out, or helped in anyway. Rod and I really appreciated all your support. To everyone who came that night to wish Will a happy 18th birthday and have a small celebration with him, thank you so much.

To my family and Rod’s, I am so lucky to be able to call you my family and thank you for being by my side and all the visits and phone calls and checking in at home if anything needed to be done.

My brother Greg and sister in law Kerry, thank you for moving up to the farm and looking after the kids and helping them get organised for our Ram Sale while Rod was with me in Melbourne.

Also for letting me stay with you in Ballarat until I was ready to come home. You are both truly amazing and I was so well cared for.

Greg, thank for your amazing support, driving from Ballarat to sit with me and support Rod day and night.

My dear sister Leanne, Rod’s rock, you were by my side every minute with Rod, from the moment I woke up, until I shut my eyes at night. I can’t thank you enough for all you have done and are still doing. Through good days and bad, you are my safe haven, love you so much.

To my four beautiful children, Baylee, Alanna, Will and Harry. You have all been truly amazing and I am so proud of how you have all stepped up and been so supportive and helpful. We wouldn’t have come through the last few week’ without you. I am so grateful I am here to continue to watch you grow into beautiful young adults.

Rod, my husband, my best friend and life partner. I could not have got through this without you. Your love and support is truly amazing. We seem to be confronted with some major contests in our life journey, but manage to get through each one and come out on top.

Please if I have forgotten anyone, I am truly sorry, but I am forever thankful and truly blessed to have each and everyone of you in my life.

Sincere thanks, Sue Miller.

One Solitary Life

He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman who amazingly was still a virgin.

He grew up in another obscure village where He worked in a carpenter’s shop until He was 30.Then for 3 years He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a family or owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled 200 miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a book or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness.

While He was still a young man the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him. He was turned over to His enemies and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had, His coat.

When He was dead He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. Two days later many witnessed the miracle of the resurrection proving truly He was the Son of God. Twenty centuries have come and gone and today He is the central figure for much of the human race.

All the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever sailed and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned put together have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this one solitary life.

National gold for Murtoa team T

BY DAVID BERRY

he sport of volleyball has received another positive shot in the arm in the region following a Murtoa College gold-medal performance at National Schools Cup in Melbourne.

The college’s year-10 division-two girls team won gold, bouncing back from a silver medal in 2017.

The Murtoa team reversed the result against Loxton in the final, winning 25-22, 20-25, 15-7, clinching the title amid scenes of euphoria at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.

It was a gold medal 12 months in the making, with the girls all part of an elective program at Murtoa College, endorsed by principal Tony Goodwin and delivered by teacher Shaun Bray.

The program enabled the girls to spend plenty of time on individual skill development as well as team development, which in the end proved to be extremely beneficial to the outcome.

Teaching the girls how to play all the positions on the court enabled team leaders to change the line up at any given time to ensure it stayed ahead of the opposition.

The team’s fortunes were given a massive boost when key player Laelah Robertson recovered from a knee injury in time to play.

The side couldn’t believe its luck when Laelah got the go-ahead to play. Given she was carried off in a wheelchair five weeks

earlier, members thought they would never see her again, let alone see her dominate as she did.

The team lost its opening game to Loxton and then proceeded to win the next five games in its pool to finish second.

An easy repechage win over Cannon Hill from Queensland set the team up for a gold-medal qualifier against Lyneham, ACT, which it won in a nail-biting finish after dropping the first set.

To win eight of nine games was amazing, and full credit to the girls for focusing and holding their nerve.

“To win a gold medal at nationals is no easy task and you have to have a lot of things go your way,” Bray said.

“The girls embraced the challenge

throughout the build up, making finals in both Bendigo and Horsham tournaments.

“While they lost each time, they would have learned plenty. To get those quality games under our belt helped us a lot.”

Bray was full of praise for the tremendous support provided to his team.

“From my assistant Delaney Wills and team manager Jo Baker, to our principal Tony Goodwin and all the parents and friends who got behind the team, it all adds up to a positive culture, one which only helps to get the results you can only dream of,” he said.

“We look forward with great excitement and anticipation because we have seen in the past just how influential a result like this has on the sport in the school.”

Golf club grateful

H

orsham Golf Club officials have written to supporters and the broader community thanking them for helping rescue the club from financial disaster.

President Leo Delahunty said it was important to let everyone involved in raising more than the $300,000 needed to help return the club to a strong and viable position, that their contribution was far from taken lightly.

“It was just a sensational response from the community and confirmed a strong belief that the people of Horsham district and broader Wimmera have a strong cultural and historical connection to the club and its course,” he said.

“From our perspective, the challenge now is to make the club as inclusive as possible and to always work to draw the community into what we do and what the club offers. It was clearly evident through the process of raising money in a hurry that this is a critical direction we must continue to build on and pursue.”

Here is the club’s letter – To the Horsham and Wimmera community, I thank the community of Horsham and the Wimmera for supporting the golf club during its recent appeal.

The success of the appeal is overwhelming and a testament to the generosity of the community and a statement of the regard that the Horsham Golf

Club and its course is held. This appeal will go a long way towards helping the club secure its future.

The funds received have been placed into a trust account with a separate bank while the board deals with issues facing the club. This separate bank account was established to protect the integrity of the donation while the club endeavours to deal with a number of issues.

The board is attempting to secure the club’s future and there are three critical areas of activities that we need to address immediately.

Firstly, we needed to address the club’s liquidity crisis. That is what the appeal was about and as a result of the raising of about $340,000, the board has the confidence to sign the statutory accounts as required by corporation law.

It is intended that these funds be used primarily to address the club’s creditor and statutory obligation situation.

Secondly, the club’s debt of $1.4-million – including creditors and statutory obligations – is unsustainable and the board is exploring different potential scenarios in the hope of dealing with this problem.

Thirdly, we have been working hard at addressing the operating performance of the golf club and while we still have a long way to go, progress is being made.

It is the intention of the club board to maintain control of the future for the club. We have a clear understanding of

what we want the golf club to look like at the end of this challenging period and we will keep everyone informed of significant developments as soon as possible.

We need to understand what success looks like. Fundamentally, we want to see a continual surge in membership and general community activity.

Our membership was 444 at June 30 but has climbed to 522 over the past six months. We have created new membership categories and will continue to refine these as we look to 700 members in the next 18 months.

We have started running junior clinics and have had positive feedback from these. We want to see these develop to the stage where as many school children as possible are having a regular golf experience.

We are seeing encouraging signs of increased golf visitation to Horsham.

This area is a strong focus of the club, has enormous potential and will have a positive impact on the local economy.

Again, I thank the community and club membership for its generous contribution and for the confidence shown in the club as we navigate through this difficult period. We need the Horsham Golf Club to be a long-term sustainable community asset.

Harness success across the region

O

nly one match of Central Wimmera Tennis Association pennant play achieved a result at the weekend as inclement weather wreaked havoc on matches.

Drung South was well ahead in its match against Haven, 9-96 to 2-56, at the time play stopped.

It was enough to give the Drungsters a win heading into the holiday break and pushed them up to third place on the ladder.

Drung South won in large part due to the play of its singles players, who each won their rubbers.

Men Dylan Emmerson and Ben Argent won 8-3 and 8-5 against Ben Hartwich and Tom Bourchier respectively, while women Janelle Knight and Romi Miller had 8-2 and 8-5 victories against Kirby Knight and Rebecca Bird.

The final three rubbers were called off with Knight and Sandra Casey on the cusp of another victory for the Drungsters, leading 7-3 against Knight and Lucinda Bourchier.

St Michaels needed just two more rubbers to achieve its own victory against Horsham Lawn but ran out of time, with the scores standing at 6-53 to 3-34 when play was abandoned.

Lawn’s Graeme Wood defeated St Michaels number one man Ian Nitschke in an 8-0 whitewash, but the Saints dominated the rest of the

Great Western trainer Peter Manning was rewarded for making the long haul north to Echuca with five-yearold mare Reciprocity when Jason Ainsworth reined her to victory in a $5000 contest for class 4-6 pacers.

After being caught three wide early from gate six at the start of the journey, Reciprocity raced outside the leader throughout before dashing home in 28.2 seconds and a clear margin of 3.4 metres at the post.

Reciprocity started her career in New Zealand before crossing the ditch and winning races at Newcastle, Albion Park and Tamworth.

The recent addition to Manning’s team has now won two from two after saluting at Stawell on cup day.

STEADY: Drung South’s Romi Miller in action against Haven. Drung came away with the points, boosting it to third place on the ladder. singles rubbers. Peter Hayes downed Jae McGrath 8-5 and women Jess McDonald and Kassie Peachey defeated opponents Cherie Wood and Tanya Sudholz 8-0.

The washout draw leaves the Saints atop the ladder at the Christmas-New Year break, two games clear of second-placed Lawn.

Telangatuk East got its first points of the season with a draw against Kalkee. The Kees led 5-44 to 1-19 when play stopped.

Bendigo success

Smart Armstrong-trained three-yearold gelding Im Sir Blake took out a $7000 event at Bendigo on Friday night for owner-trainers Leroy and Danny O’Brien.

Kerryn Manning took the drive on the son of Alta Christiano NZ and the odds-on favourite proved too tough after racing outside the leader.

Im Sir Blake is now a three-time winner from just 11 starts and with five minor placings has earned stakes of $26,530.

Telangatuk East’s Daniel Rogers and Matthew Jones defeated Kees Jeff and Jordan Friberg 8-4, but the rest of the completed rubbers fell the way of the Kees.

Only two singles rubbers finished, with Jeff Friberg defeating Jones 8-3 and Anna Exell beating Courtney Price 8-1.

The Kees are now fourth on the ladder with a one-and-a-half game buffer over Haven.

Horsham win

The Horsham stable of Barry and Aaron Dunn notched up a winning double at Mildura on Tuesday night with their four-year-old geldings Always On and Madazalways.

Always On took advantage of the pole draw to lead all the way over the sprint trip and record his sixth win from 16 outings.

Stablemate Madazalways came from two back in the running line at the bell to score by a length and his third career victory. Aaron bred both horses from his former winning race mares Regards and Madazhell.

Penny Drops

Promising Stawell owned and trained three-year-old trotter The Penny Drops will contest Saturday night’s $50,000 Vicbred Home Grown Classic final at Melton after winning a heat on Monday night.

The son of colonial stallion Danny Bouchea is raced by his breeders, the Harvey-Hateley and Pickering families and is the winner of three races from only four starts.

Trainer Ray Harvey, driver Neil McCallum and connections will be hoping for a decent marble at the barrier draw for Saturday night’s contest.

Walsgott starts strong Young Horsham triathlete Ella Walsgott put in a strong performance in the first race of the 2018-19 Australian Junior Triathlon Series at the weekend.

Walsgott competed in a 1500-metre race, a ‘hyper sprint’ triathlon, an aquathlon and team relays during the three-day event on Queensland’s Gold Coast.

She qualified for the C final of the Youth A Female category, placing 14th out of 19 competitors.

Walsgott faced stiff competition from the best junior triathletes in the country, including competitors from Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia.

Walsgott was the only Victorian to qualify for a C final.

The junior triathlon series consists of three race meetings.

The next race in the series will be at Canberra on January 19 and 20, with the final race at Devonport on March 2 and 3.

Steffi McDonald

Steffi wins way to United States H

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

orsham tennis young gun Steffi McDonald will take another step towards a professional career in the sport when she attends Lindsey Wilson College in the USA on a scholarship next year.

McDonald, courted by several colleges with scholarship offers, settled on Lindsey Wilson in Kentucky due to its small size and strong coaching program, offering her more support.

She said she had received the offers after signing up with an agency which posted statistics and videos of her training, as well as her academic transcripts, on its website.

“A couple of months ago they emailed me and asked if I was interested in a scholarship with Lindsey Wilson and playing for them from January onwards,” she said.

“I’ve had a lot of colleges contact me, but it was the one I was most interested in.

“Ever since I’ve signed with them I’ve had colleges still reaching out, but it was the best fit for me.

“It’s a private college, so it’s not as big as some of the other colleges I was talking to, which had about 50,000 people there.

“Coming from a small town like Horsham it’s a big step, especially being in a different country as well.

“We looked for somewhere smaller that had a

good tennis and training program and where I was going to get looked after well.

“They’ve got a good program and they’ve had pretty good results.”

The scholarship will cover McDonald’s board, tuition and tennis costs during her four years at the college.

She said she would study sports management, but her focus was on forging a professional career.

“I’d like to go on and play pro tours,” she said.

“Otherwise, I’d probably try to get a job in the sports-management field, but I’d definitely like to keep going on with tennis and play a lot more pro tours.”

McDonald created history by becoming the first woman to compete in the men’s section of Central Wimmera Tennis Association’s pennant competition this year.

The talented 18-year-old has represented School Sport Victoria at the 18 and under Pizzey Cup and Australian Cup Singles Championships, and was a member of the Australian Merit team last year.

Tennis Australia’s website shows she is currently the 148th ranked female tennis player in Australia.

McDonald said she was nervous and excited to begin her college experience.

She thanked her family for supporting her tennis ambitions.

Teams snare points as rain plays a part

BY ONE SHORT

T

he weather had a big influence on Grampians Cricket Association at the weekend, with most fixtures affected.

At Stawell’s Central Park in a twoday battle between Pomonal and Swifts-Great Western, the Combine chose to bat on and reached 217 before being dismissed.

Matt Grinham was the Tigers’ best bowler with 4-52, but his team started its second innings shakily with both openers out and the score at 2-2. Pomonal advanced to 2-19 when rain ended the match.

Swifts-Great Western took six points from the game, when perhaps they were expecting 10.

Halls Gap failed to reach the 137 needed for victory against St Andrews, dismissed for 98.

Both Adam Haslett, 4-34, and James Laidlaw, 4-11, shared the bowling honours.

The Saints’ second innings had reached 2-61 when weather forced the teams to abandon play. Tom Mills had scored 36 up to this point.

Alexandra Oval proved unfit for

play after rain, leaving Aradale with six points from a first-innings win over Buangor-Tatyoon.

This is the second time this season the weather has come to BuangorTatyoon’s rescue.

The next round in Grampians association is a one-day fixture, split over two days, with two games before Christmas and two in the new year.

The matches before Christmas feature Halls Gap against Pomonal at Central Park and Aradale taking on Swifts-Great Western at Alexandra Oval.

Youth Club, St Andrews and Buangor-Tatyoon have byes.

While both matches are important to their clubs, the contest between last round’s winners will be the highlight.

Both Aradale and Swifts-Great Western had good wins last round and will look to back up strongly.

Aradale’s batting has been spasmodic and the side will need all batsman to contribute to post a reasonable score. Tyler Cronin, Corey Taylor, Mark Fulton and Scotty Turner must get runs against Matt

Heffer, Jayden McCartney and spinner Matt Fitzgerald.

A similar score to the team’s last innings would be a big boost to its chances.

For its part, the Combine will rely on proven batsmen – Sam Cocks, Travis Nicholson, Tom Eckel and newcomer Nigel Sibson – to give them the edge, while Aradale will look to Shan Chinthapalli to repeat his heroics of last round.

Halls Gap hosts Pomonal at Central Park, a ground that has not been kind to either team.

Pomonal desperately needs the six points on offer, while the Gappers are still searching for that first win. Halls Gap batting is patchy to say the least, but its one shining light is Charlie McIntosh, who is third in the runs aggregate and will need to mainstay the innings.

He will be the prize wicket for either Matt Grinham or Lee Oliver to chase.

Pomonal has openers Clinton Mackley and Luke Jordan as well as Matt Peel. The Tigers have more at stake than the Gappers and this could be the difference.

Youth tournament opens doors Horsham Basketball Stadium hosted a Youth CAN 3-on-3 tournament at the weekend, with about 40 junior basketballers participating.

Youth CAN is a Horsham Rural City Council and Federation University project aimed at changing young people’s perception of alcohol.

Horsham Hornets players attended the tournament and the Young Masters hiphop crew performed two shows during the day.

Tournament organiser Annie Mintern described the tournament as ‘fantastic’.

“There was great feedback from the participants and parents,” she said.

“Kids loved it and a lot of families came down to watch. Research we did told us that a lot of teenagers feel pressured to drink alcohol because there aren’t many entertainment options for teenagers in Horsham.

“The purpose of the basketball comp and disco was to provide an event which would appeal to different demographics – kids who are into basketball, kids who are into music and kids who are into dancing. The event was designed to give young people an opportunity to socially engage with one another in an environment without alcohol and without pressure to drink alcohol.”

Saints primed to launch offensive H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham Saints will enter a Christmas-New Year’s break in Horsham Cricket Association as the primary challenger to Homers’ domination of the competition.

The Saints are a clear second to the Pigeons on overall and one-day ladders and appear poised to make a serious run to the finals when play resumes on January 12.

The outfit from Coughlin Park was the only A Grade outfit to secure vic-

tory in rain-affected one-day games last week, successfully defending 7-226 by having the home side 7-137 at stumps.

The inclusion of all-rounder Tim Bell, who joined the senior list in round six, has had a significant impression on the Saints’ fortunes.

Bell has in three games made unbeaten scores of 107, 69 and 64 and also captured 7-78 at an average of 12.3.

He joins the likes of batsmen Mark

Crafter, 388 runs at 67, including two centuries, Gary Davidson, 357 at 71.4, and Austin Smith, 290 runs at 48.3, who have also made their mark so far this season.

The Saints have also had a winner with the ball with medium-pacer Jono Carroll so far having figures of 59.310-222-15 at an average of 14.8.

Last week, in the win over the Warriors, Smith top-scored with 80 at first drop and Bell made 64 not out.

Jung Tigers, with just three first-in-

nings victories, trail the Pigeons and Saints in third spot and Rupanyup-Minyip, also three first-innings wins, makes up the four.

Laharum, two wins, and West Wimmera, one, complete the ladder.

At the halfway point of the season, Homers left-hand opener and rightarm finger spinner Simon Hopper leads the competition batting.

Hopper has 396 runs at 66, with a highest score of 162.

Crafter, Davidson and Smith are

Watts steps into big shoes Horsham Motorcycle Club will have a new president at the helm in 2019, but it will be one with a familiar last name.

Cory Watts was elected club president this month, replacing his father Kenny who has been president for the past five years.

Stephen Arthur will serve as vice president, Stuart McFarlane is junior vice president, Jo Cross secretary and Laurie Pearson is treasurer.

Kenny Watts has presided over an enormously successful period for the club.

Among the many achievements during his tenure, the club hosted this year’s FIM Junior Motocross World Championships in August.

Watts said it was an opportune time to bring a fresh perspective to the role.

“I’ve been president for five years and I think some people are getting a bit sick of seeing me every day,” he said. “I think there were a few people who, because of the big events we do, were a bit hesitant to take it on, but Cory has been around right from day dot.

“He’s been racing here for 15 years, so he was comfortable to take it on, and handing the reins down to my son was pretty good.”

Mr Watts will remain as the club’s junior co-ordinator.

He said the club would host a coaching day for prospective junior members on January 13.

“There will be about 10 coaches, so it’s going to be massive,” he said.

“They’re doing a coaching school the day before, so they’re going to hang around and do a training day with any kids who want to come along on the Sunday.”

next, ahead of Laharum’s Daniel Griffiths, 286 at 40.86, Rupanyup-Minyip’s Travis Hair, 254 at 42, Jarred Combe, Homers, 246 at 82 and Adam Atwood, Homers, 245 at 40.83.

Jarred Combe and Josh Mahoney from Laharum are close to matching Carroll’s wicket total, Combe with 14-136 at 9.71 and Mahoney with 14186 at 13.29.

Jung Tigers veteran David Puls, having bowled a hefty 68 overs so far this season, has 13-206 at 15.85.

THUNDER: AMCA Country Cup will feature at Horsham Motorsports Club season opener on December 29. ACMA drivers have had a stop-start season with weather delays and are keen to get back on track with ‘new’ Chevy ‘crate’ engines that are showing promise against Holden V8s, the backbone of the class for many years. After the Victorian championships, won by Tim Reidy at Moama, a large field is expected to compete for the cup. Vintage Hot Rod and Saloon Cars, V8 trucks, Limited Sportsman and Street Stocks classes are also on the racing card.

Blue Ribbon season opens Horsham Motorsports Club will open its 2018-19 season with the roar of V8 engines old and new on December 29.

It willl host the running of the AMCA Country Cup and the return of the Vintage Heavy Hot Rods and Saloon Cars.

Also on the program will be Blue Ribbon’s own V8 trucks, Open Sedans, Limited Sports-

man, Street Stocks and SSA ladies.

The opening meeting of this season between Christmas and new year celebrations will be tempered with the knowledge that this will be the first in many years without long-time club stalwart, life-member and president, the late Michael ‘Mick’ Fitzgerald, standing on

the edge of the track. Gates open at 5.30pm with racing from 6.30pm.

Full catering will be available with limited car parking on the hill in the north turn and a lot of room on the grass.

Event organisers are urging fans to bring chairs and blankets.

Let it rip!

Jack Vague hurls himself into his delivery stride while playing for Quantong in a Horsham Cricket Association B Grade T20 match at Horsham City Oval. While heavy rain had a significant impact on cricket across the region last week, there was action aplenty at the city oval.

Quantong won the contest against Lubeck-Murtoa, bowling out its opponent for 97 in 16 overs before responding with 6-104. Horsham cricket action has finished for 2018 and will resume on January 12.
