Trial to strengthen children’s services A

regional trial to explore ways of strengthening the foundations of early childhood development across the Wimmera and southern Mallee is underway. A Wimmera Southern Mallee Early Years Steering Committee, including state and local government and early-years service representatives has established six clusters across the region for the trial. The clusters are – • Northern Grampians Shire Council, working with communities in Navarre and Halls Gap; • West Wimmera Health Service, working with Nhill, Rainbow, Jeparit and Dimboola; • West Wimmera Shire Council,

working with Goroke, Edenhope, Aspley and Kaniva schools; • Horsham Rural City Council’s Children’s and Community Hub; • East Wimmera Early Years Partnership, working with Birchip, Donald and St Arnaud; • Rural Northwest Health, working with Warracknabeal, Hopetoun and Beulah. The State Government-funded trial involves childcare, kindergartens, schools, maternal and child health services and other regional service providers. Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership, through a Regional Assembly in Horsham in August, identified the need for a trial to find an

appropriate early years development program model for the region. The regional partnership is working with the State Government on the project. Last month the early years steering committee called for expressions of interest from communities across the region to help co-design a regional early-years model. WSM Regional Partnership deputy chair and WSM Early Years Trials Steering Committee chair Emma Vogel said the committee received a strong community response and had chosen the six clusters to lead the way. “This is an exciting opportunity for these communities, for the region, and for the delivery of early-years

programs in rural and regional areas,” she said. “We know that early years models that work in metropolitan areas often don’t work in rural and regional areas. “These trials will give communities the chance to be inventive and to put children and their families, and the services they need, at the centre of design and delivery. “We can’t wait to see what comes out of these trials and what it will mean for children and families in this region in the future, as well as in other regional areas.” Each cluster will now form working groups, supported by an Early Years Trials Project area co-ordinator. Ms Vogel said the area co-ordinator,

based at the Victorian Department of Education and Training’s Horsham office, would play a key role in co-ordinating and supporting each of the clusters with a focus on improving outcomes for children and families. She said the co-ordinator would work closely with each of the communities, WSM Area Partnership members, government departments and service providers, supporting them in project planning and delivery. Models will be subject to a threeyear test to identify benefits, challenges and improvements for future service delivery in regional Victoria. Ms Vogel said anyone seeking further information could call her on 0468 992 229.

Wesley still closed Wesley Performing Arts Centre in Horsham will remain closed until further notice based on a fire-safety audit of the building. Horsham Rural City Council made the announcement at the request of the venue’s operating committee. The committee, which gave permission for the council’s building surveyor to undertake a fire-safety audit of the building, has now met with the council to discuss the Fire Safety and Essential Safety Measures Audit Report. Council community services director Kevin O’Brien said the council was working closely with the committee to complete all the necessary steps. “There are a number of issues to work through and we will ensure the committee is fully informed so that it can make the necessary decisions,” he said. Committee president Merryn Eagle said safety would continue to be the group’s number-one priority. “These are complex and difficult issues for a volunteer organisation and we are working closely with the council to determine the next steps,” she said. “We gave the council permission to carry out the audit. “We need to ensure that Wesley meets all the necessary safety standards and is safe for the community. “We thank the community for its understanding at this time.” Mr O’Brien said the council would continue to provide regular updates on the issue.

Police warn of risk A

BY DEAN LAWSON

leading Wimmera police officer has warned motorists that simply travelling in regional areas puts them at greater risk of serious injury or death from road trauma.

Wimmera superintendent Paul Margetts, in presenting a Christmas-New Year road message, said crashes in country areas usually occurred at speeds much higher than in metropolitan areas. “It means that when people are involved in a road incident in places such as the Wimmera, they are four times more likely than metropolitan motorists to die or suffer serious injuries,” he said. “And it is not just an issue that involves driving over the speed limit. Based on what we know, even driving at 100 kilometres presents a serious risk. So there are risks even when you might not be doing anything wrong.” Mr Margetts said his message to motorists was to simply be aware about the overall risk they were taking when driving on a regional road. “As soon as we get into a car and get on a country road we’re taking on a risk – that’s the reality,” he said. “The risk comes from the fact that at 100kmh we travel 27.8 metres a second. The normal human reaction time is just over two seconds, so before we even get the opportunity to react we’ve travelled almost 56 metres. “Staying as safe as possible is really about being aware of surroundings and cir-

cumstances and understanding that there are usually many people making decisions on the road. “It’s about being aware, awake, alert and focused and there are many elements that can be distracting, whether as an individual driver or as a driver responsible for passengers.” Mr Margetts said motorists also needed to be mindful the Christmas and holiday period were outside normal routines. “This means we suddenly start experiencing different time, sleep, eating and exercise patterns. With bodies working in unusual ways we can often become fatigued, even without realising,” he said. “This in turn has the potential to interfere with usual driving habits. “For example, you might want to get to a special Christmas or New Year’s event, which might mean extra hours on the road. “Fair enough, but you have to ask yourself, do you have plans or alternatives that will eliminate risks of fatigue? Families no doubt would prefer to have everyone safe instead of being somewhere on time.”

Emergency services

Mr Margetts said apart from understanding the basic risks, motorists needed to also consider the impact road trauma might have on emergency services and communities. “We all live and work in relatively small rural communities where we usually know each other. Our kids go to school together, play sport together – so there’s not only

carnage that emergency services experience at the scene, but also the flow-on impact for families, friends, children and general communities,” he said. “One incident on a highway can devastate a community forever. What we don’t want this Christmas is a church, synagogue, reception hall or mosque to host an unscheduled funeral. “Figures show that one person killed or seriously injured on the road has, on average, an impact on 600 people. The list goes on and on. Our appeal is for people to limit the risks and fully appreciate the risks of simply travelling on country roads where speeds are generally high. “Try to avoid travelling at dawn and dusk or at night when vision is not as good as other times. Prepare yourself for the work associated with driving – this means being fully awake, well rested and fully aware of circumstances. We don’t have an inbuilt fatigue metre but take note of the last time you last slept, had a break or stretched your legs. All you want to do is get to your destination and back home safely.” Mr Margetts added it was essential that people always made sure their vehicles were roadworthy. “Never go on the road without making sure your vehicle is safe. This means making sure the tyres, brakes and steering are all up to standard,” he said. Mr Margetts said there would again be a high police presence on roads throughout the Christmas-New Year period into January school holidays.

NEW CHAPTER: Horsham Ss Michael and John’s Primary School administration officer Judy Reid, pictured with grade six students on Monday, is retiring after 35 years of service to Catholic education and to the children of Ss Michael and John’s and St Patrick’s, Nhill. Mrs Reid said she would miss the staff and children but was looking forward to moving to Mildura. “I have a son and his family in Mildura so I will be able to be grandma up there,” she said. School principal Andrea Cox said Mrs Reid had been the constant face at the front desk in all that time. “Many of our current parents remember Mrs Reid from their own time at Ss Michael and John’s,” she said. “Judy has seen many changes to schools and education throughout her time in Catholic education and in her role she has been a surrogate parent for many young teachers who started their teaching career at Ss Michael and John’s. The school community wishes Judy and her husband Russell all the best as they move into this next phase of their life.”

Embrace the meaning of Santa

he arrival of Christmas presents a perplexing challenge for many Australian parents of young children.

While finding the right type as well as balance of gifts between siblings is high on the list, the hardest job can often be simply coming to grips with the idea of Santa Claus. It’s okay to foster the romance of a visit from a magical, gift-giving visitor in a red suit, but it’s maintaining the idea with wide-eyed youngsters in the lead-up to the big day that can be hard work. Making the legend fit in with a modern world, such as avoiding a potentially hazardous mixing of mes-

sages including strangers bearing gifts can be hard work. Yet, some mums and dads go to extraordinary lengths to justify the stories and expectations surrounding the arrival of Santa Claus. Some use the legend to promote tradition. Others explore it as family opportunity to engage in the wonderful world of childhood fantasy. Some even use the ‘naughty and nice’ tool to keep a lid on growing childhood anxiety as the big day approaches. In a world of commercialism, with the image of Santa everywhere, we can only imagine or try to think back to our own childhoods to understand what youngsters swept up in the Santa

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson, editor

legend think. This is especially so when a great variety of Santas turn up at Christmas events and family work shows. While some older youngsters, who have some vague understanding of the bluff keep tight-lipped about what they either suspect or know, there are always some with a trademark look of confusion when something doesn’t seem quite right. We’ve seen parents come up with all

sorts of creative answers to innocent questions. One is, of course the double bluff, that the Santas who appear in shopping centres or at family gatherings, are in fact Santa’s ‘secret special helpers’. Others take it even further and employ the whole magical aspect of Christmas to suggest, for example, that the reason Santa can get into houses without chimneys is because he is a spirit. Aha! Adding a few riddles that the spirit of Santa is the same as the spirit of Christmas and is an ideal that only exists ‘if you believe’ has long been a winner. With this one as a parent you at least can’t be accused of lying to your children. The foundation of the

legend of Santa Claus sits at the heart of the idea of family and the giving and receiving of gifts and-or good will. Understanding Santa is about understanding the value of families, regardless in the many and various forms they come in these days. For any child to miss out on at least the idea of Santa probably means they are missing out on much more and deeper, more profound lessons of giving and taking. The truth is that anyone can be Santa, the greatest of all superheroes, and if that is the evolution of the legend in the mind of a child, then let it continue. Merry Christmas.

LETTERS Heartfelt thanks

SIR, – On behalf of Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Christmas Child, I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to the many churches, schools, organisations and numerous individuals who were involved this year in packing a shoebox for a child in need. Each child is special and they will receive only one shoebox of gifts once in their life. This gift will bring immediate joy and hope to the child and might open up opportunities they had never dreamed of. Samaritan’s Purse can then assess the needs of the community such as safe, clean water, education, health and community empowerment projects and implement programs where possible. The total number of boxes received and processed in Melbourne this year was 54,277. From Victoria, the shoeboxes have gone to Cambodia, Papua New Guinea and Thailand. All of our team would like to give a huge thank you to each person who took the time to become involved either by packing a shoebox or donating goods or money. Thank you also to the many people who made many different handmade items for the boxes. We look forward to working with you all again next year. For further information please refer to our website samaritanspurse.org.au. Ann Rohde Area co-ordinator, Horsham

Festive wishes

SIR, – As we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the arrival of 2018 I take this opportunity to wish everyone in the Lowan electorate a very merry Christmas, and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year. The Christmas holiday season is an opportunity to spend time with family and friends and to reflect on the important things in life. Holidays can bring great moments of joy and hopefully long stretches of relaxation. I hope everyone enjoys this time, but also remains vigilant and safe on the roads, in our waterways, pools, out in nature and even in the backyard. As the festive season brings with it an array of shopping needs I encourage everyone to shop locally to support our local traders and economy. It has been a privilege to represent and work for

Wednesday, December 20, 2017

the people of Lowan in 2017. For me it has been a busy and fulfilling year and I have greatly enjoyed the diversity of individuals, groups and organisations I have worked with to help make western Victoria a better place. The strength and generosity of our rural communities is one of our greatest assets. Please take the time to look out for others in our community, to extend the hand of friendship and offer the spirit of Christmas to those around you. Again, I wish everyone across the Lowan electorate a merry Christmas, and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year. Emma Kealy Member for Lowan

Christmas message

SIR, – On a winter’s evening over 2000 years ago, angels appeared to tell of the birth of Baby Jesus, the first Christmas story. The angels didn’t tell the politicians, the angels didn’t tell the socially important people, they told the shepherds, the farmers and the night-shift workers. The baby that was born lay in a manger, which is a sheep trough, hardly the most fancy cot for the Son of God. Wise men from another country turned up to honour the birth of the new king. They brought gold, frankincense and myrrh. Those guys might have been wise but they sure didn’t know how to shop for a decent present for a baby. Even on the first Christmas, blokes were giving impractical gifts. Within weeks the baby and his mother and father had to flee their country as the dictator wanted to kill them. They became refugees. Ultimately, that baby grew up in a sheep and wheat-producing district in a country town, working with his hands as a carpenter, a tradie. Later, downing the tools to go on a speaking tour, his words are still felt around the world today. ‘Treat others how you want to be treated.’ ‘What you do for the least you do for me.’ Among the great Aussie food and wine, the time spent with family and the excitement in the eyes of children on Christmas morning, take the time to read the Christmas story. I wish you all a very merry and safe Christmas. Andrew Broad Member for Mallee

Minister considers councillor request A

rarat Rural City Council’s governance status will continue unchanged in the short term despite a councillor urging Local Government Minister Marlene Kairouz to call in administrators.

Ms Kairouz said she would ‘carefully’ consider correspondence from Cr Peter Beales as well as the views of municipal monitor Janet Dore before determining whether the government needed to take further action. “We are well aware of the challenges facing Ararat council. That’s why a monitor has been appointed to keep an eye on the council and assist where possible,” she said. “This process needs to run its course before any further action is taken by the government.” Government staff members confirmed that Ms Kairouz had received a letter from Cr Beales and that she would respond to him in due course.

Staff added the government focus remained on ‘ensuring the council met its obligation in implementing Commission of Inquiry recommendations’. Cr Beales announced at last week’s Ararat council meeting he had written to the minister and had offered his resignation if it helped in getting ‘transparent, honest government’. The government appointed municipal monitor Dore to oversee Ararat council operations as part of its response to a Commission of Inquiry based on the council’s handling of community rate-sharing plans in the municipality. The council had voted to scrap a rating differential system, designed to establish equality across a rate base between urban and farming land, a decision the State Government overturned. The issue led to the resignation of former mayor Paul Hooper.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Christmas is a season for giving and Horsham’s Ellie Slorach has done just that – raising more than $300 for the Royal Children’s Hospital. Ellie has been selling bags of special reindeer food for $1. Her goal was to raise $100 for the hospital, however she has smashed her goal after selling more than 100 bags outside Spotlight in Horsham Plaza, taking her total to $310. Ellie will complete a final count on Christmas Eve before making her donation.

already had five marriage proposals from workmates since winning the prize. She revealed that she first heard about her win from a work colleague who had heard her name read out on the radio. “She was trying to convince me that my name had been read out but I thought she was pulling my leg,” she said. “I said no one has called me, so I called Hermans and as I was talking to them another call came through. They quickly said hang up and answer the phone, so I did and that was it – I was on the radio,” she said. “To receive that amount of money in one lump sum… it would take me forever to save up that amount. “It just takes a lot of financial pressure off. “I’m so grateful. I’m still coming to grips with it.”

Catherine ‘Kat’ Campbell, 34, who works with Horsham Rural City Council, said the cash prize, the result of a region-wide promotion involving Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians businesses, was unexpected but more than welcome. “Like many other people, life has been a bit of a financial struggle, so this will make a big difference to me,” she said. Kat’s winning entry came from Horsham business Hermans Interiors where she had shopped twice and filled in two entry forms. She said the first time she entered she had been shopping Regional interest for herself and the second time ACE Radio Wimmera general she had been buying gifts for manager Brendan O’Loughlin friends. “I’m not sure which one won. congratulated Kat on her win, I also entered at Priceline in adding that the promotion had generated considerable interest Horsham,” she said. “You don’t really ever expect across the region. “It’s great that we can have to win, but I thought ‘you never such a worthy winner and to know’ and entered.” Kat, originally from New see this will make such a difference in a person’s life,” he said.

$20,000 Pay Day was a clear example of how The Weekly Advertiser and 3WM and MIXX FM worked with regional businesses and engaged the broader community. “There is little doubt the promotion lured people into shops and helped generate business activity,” he said. “Apart from providing one lucky person with a significant Christmas present, generating foot traffic into our partnering businesses was a primary aim of the promotion. “We’re happy that this has been so successful – the level of entries clearly indicated that the promotion was well received by listeners and readers – and thank businesses for being such great partners. “We were delighted that Member for Lowan Emma Kealy accepted our offer to draw the prize. “She was just as excited as the winner.” Mr O’Loughlin said a fundamental message driving the promotion was for people to shop locally. He also suggested that shoppers should keep an eye and ear out for major promotions next year.

TICK BOX:

Dadswells Bridge resident Joan Van Diesen has been involved in running an ‘aquatics for older adults’ program for 31 years and has no plans to give it up. “For the first few years I was a helper because someone else was leading the class,” she said. “Eventually I took over the Thursday sessions and now I’m also leading Tuesday sessions.” Mrs Van Diesen said the classes ran from 10am to 11am at Stawell Leisure Complex and involved gentle aqua aerobic exercises in the pool. “We do a lot of basic exercises from the Arthritis Foundation as well as a lot of tai chi,” she said. When asked what she liked most about teaching the classes, Mrs Van Diesen replied, ‘the lot’. “I get pleasure from seeing people enjoy themselves,” she said. “I also like being able to help people get fit.

It is very rewarding.” Long-time participant Dorothy Williams said aquatics members met for coffee following the Thursday classes. “For us it’s a great morning out,” she said. “We’re in the pool by 10, out by 11 and then all showered and ready for coffee and cake by 11.30. It’s a great opportunity to share stories and tips. We talk about gardening and our grandchildren and everything in between.” Mrs Van Diesen said the social aspect was important. “I’ve had people new to Stawell who didn’t know anyone come along and have a great time, because it’s given them an opportunity to meet people,” she said. “One of the ladies has been coming for more than 20 years and we also have a couple of men who are regulars in the group. They don’t mind being surrounded by a whole bunch of women.” Mrs Van Diesen said her aquatics members enjoyed a Christmas party last week and would participate in their final class for the year tomorrow. Participants will enjoy a two-week break before classes resume on January 9.

“Our Australia Day Awards are always a terrific opportunity to say thank you to the wonderful people who work tirelessly to make the Ararat Rural City a great place to live,” she said. “There are many quiet achievers who run events, maintain facilities, promote worthy causes or just lend a hand to those in need and we would love the chance to recognise these people who make our community what it is. “The eligibility criteria for the four awards are listed on our website or

Mr Bawden said proceedings began with an introduction of all members, including their backgrounds and their interest in being involved. “As each member introduced themselves you got a good indication of the mixture of people we have making up the group,” he said. “There are a number of longterm residents and also some that are newer to the area, having been here for five to 10 years. One thing is certain,

In the absence of Ms Verlin, Municipal Monitor Ms Dore took on the role as acting chair to explain the group’s scope in relation to forming a Rating Strategy. Senior economist and rating advisor Trevor Koops, who has written a State Government Better Practice Guide for Revenue and Rating Strategy, then took the group through a number of items. “The experience and information Trevor will be providing the members will be incredibly invaluable,” Mr Bawden said.

“He has provided reading documents for the group over the Christmas-New Year period and has also made himself available should any members require clarification on anything.” A number of the Councillors joined the group at the conclusion of the session for a meet and greet and to thank the members for their participation.

Passenger rail for western Victoria Former Horsham councillor Tony Phelan has written to The Weekly Advertiser outlining why communities west of Ararat should continue to lobby for a return of passenger-rail services. He has provided insight into the work that municipal leaders have provided and research that has gone into the issue. Following is his letter: SIR, – It is pleasing to note the continued push to re-establish passenger rail services to regional Victoria west of Ararat. For too long the transport needs of communities in this region have been constrained by the railgauge change at Ararat. Without this restriction there seems little doubt that passenger rail services would have been returned, beyond Ararat, in 2004. There are three daily passenger rail return services each weekday from-to Ararat, two on Saturday and Sunday, with intentions to increase this to four with an additional early-morning service that provides a commuting option to Ballarat. There are no VLine passenger-rail services west of Ararat. The joint financial contribution from Horsham Rural City Council and seven adjoining councils, together with the State Government, enabled the creation of the ‘Grampians and Barwon South West Region Passenger Services Cost and Feasibility Study’ in March 2017 by John Hearsch Consulting Pty Ltd. The driver for this report was the desire by councils for passenger services and infrastructure, not necessarily restricted to rail, ‘that would improve social and economic access and connectivity, reduce isolation, and enable present and future residents of the region to easily connect with regional centres and Melbourne to meet social, economic, medical, educational and business needs through safe, efficient, frequent and reliable public transport’. The involvement of the Horsham council’s retiring chief executive Peter Brown in working with neighbouring councils to establish this report with Susan Surridge, who acted as study co-ordinator, should be acknowledged. Their advocacy for improved public transport, in particular the reinstatement of passenger rail, is a position that should be supported by all who recognise the importance of the issues. I believe the people of our municipalities and western Victoria as a whole, should not accept an inferior service and isolation from the VLine rail network when a solution to the gauge-change problem exists. The solution requires a transfer between trains on the standard and broad-gauge networks. The Hearsch Study identified a variety of complex and costly issues associated with the return of passenger rail to western Victoria. It also stated: ‘Reintroduction of passenger trains to

Hamilton and Horsham will provide widespread benefits to communities throughout the region and beyond and be the centrepiece of revised public passenger services through faster, more reliable and more comfortable links with Ballarat and Melbourne’, and, despite challenges, ‘reintroduction of passenger train services to Hamilton and Horsham is feasible and is recommended, together with a strengthening of connecting coach services’. The study suggested many staged rail-service improvements with some stage two recommendations, from 2021 to 2026, being the provision of ‘six return daily services to Ararat, four to Horsham and three to Hamilton’. Also included in the stage-two recommendations is the ‘standardisation of 88 kilometres of railway from Ballarat to Ararat’. The standardisation of this section of line would mean a transfer from a standard-gauge VLine service to the broad-gauge VLine service would need to occur at Ballarat. The costs are large. Estimated costs for infrastructure upgrades to enable increased speeds and the provision of rolling stock are about $360-million. Acceptance and implementation of the Hearsch Study together with the completion of the $420-million Murray Basin Standardisation Project, already underway, effectively unifies rail gauges in western Victoria, a desirable outcome for the rail system as a whole. I anticipate the cost of the recommendations associated with the Hearsch Study might be an obstacle that impedes implementation. It is important that social, economic and other benefits are not devalued in any analysis of the proposal to return passenger rail. From figures presented, about $100-million of the total cost is attached to the standardisation of the line between Ballarat and Ararat. The need for this expenditure would be removed if the train transfer occurred at Ararat. For Melbourne-bound passengers this also has the advantage of removing the competition for seats with Ballarat commuters because the necessary transfer has already occurred. I would hope this option could be further reviewed even if only as an interim measure. The questions for government are: What value is placed on the people living in our western Victorian communities? When there is talk of regional western Victoria is there an appreciation that this region extends to the South Australian border? What commitment is there to support and grow this region? Western Victoria should not be isolated because of a rail-gauge change at Ararat. It is time to reinstate passenger rail.

More doctors in New Year Wimmera Health Care Group hopes two new doctors starting at Horsham’s Read Street Medical Clinic in January will ease the burden on people trying to get appointments to see doctors. Wimmera Medical Centre manager Heather Parker said since the health group had taken over the clinic it had appointed a locum doctor, Dr Rais Siddiqi, to help meet demand. She said Dr Siddiqi would be available until January 13 before the new male and female

doctors started on January 15. “Dr Iain Loan and Dr Helen Loan will be working from the Read Street Medical Clinic for 12 months,” she said. “We hope this will assist in reducing the delays people have been experiencing when trying to get in to see a doctor.” Mrs Parker said people keen to make an appointment with the locum doctor, or with the new doctors starting on January 15, could call 5381 9090.

Weekly Wool Market Report

Season 17 – Week 24 FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2017

With the annual three-week Christmas recess about to begin, this was the final opportunity for buyers to secure significant quantities of wool. The upcoming break, combined with intense buyer interest, created a “perfect storm” in the market place. All types and descriptions, across the entire merino spectrum experienced sharp price increases, the rises were felt from the opening hammer on the first selling day and continued unabated until the beginning of the final day, when buyers finally became more selective in their purchases, stabilising prices. The end result was general price increases of 40 to 90 cents. The Benchmark Eastern Market Indicator (EMI), which was already sitting at a record high, added a further 61 cents, pushing it to a new high of 1760 cents. Notably, this is the first time the EMI has broken through the 1700 cent barrier. The EMI has added 405 cents for the year, an annual increase of 29.9%, the largest amount since 2002. The total amount of wool sold surpassed the 3-billion-dollar market this calendar year for the first time since our records began (1995). The EMI has posted rises for the past three calendar years totalling 701 cents. The micron price guides (MPGs) for 16.5 micron all the way through to 22.0 micron hit record highs in all centres on Wednesday, before softening slightly on the Thursday. The skirting market also made significant gains, recording general increases of 40 to 60 cents. The crossbreds managed further price rises this week but not at the same extent as their merino cousins. Prices generally rose by 30 to 40 cents. The oddment market continued its strong upward trend. The Merino Carding Indicators which were already sitting at all-time highs, added an average of 47 cents each. The market now takes a three-week break, sales resume in the week beginning the 8th of January.

In fact there is some suggestions he was actually born in spring. But in AD 350, Bishop of Rome Julius 1 declared December 25 the official celebration date. December 25 also coincides with the ancient pagan festival of Saturnalia. 5. The Christmas tree. Prince Albert brought the tree to England and he and Queen Victoria were sketched in front of one, spreading what had been a German Christmas symbol. 6. They banned celebrations because of Christmas roots in pagan festivals. 7. A small breed of dog. 8. Kuhfu. He ruled in the Fourth Dynasty between 2589 and 2566 BC. 9. Skunks. It is the only living species of the genus Ailurus and family Ailuridae and part of the superfamily Musteloidea, which includes weasels, raccoons and skunks. 10. Ireland. It spread into Scotland and other parts of Britain.

Karen scholarships R

epresentatives from refugee and asylumseeker advocacy groups have presented two students from the Wimmera’s Karen community with Federation University of Australia Foundation scholarships. As scholarship sponsors, they presented the $1000 awards during a ceremony at the university’s Wimmera campus in Horsham. Judy Warne from Dunkeld Refugee and Asylum Seeker Support presented a certificate to Diploma of Nursing student Muh Muh Maw Kay. Pam Walker from Hamilton and District Rural Australia for Refugees presented Bachelor of Social Sciences student

Tha Blay Sher with a certificate. The university’s foundation has established scholarships to enhance students’ chances of succeeding at the university. The foundation’s aim is to empower and enable students to make a contribution to sociality after they graduate. Tha Blay said she was confident the scholarship, which would help with fuel and travel costs associated with her travelling 75 kilometres to and from university, would boost her confidence to continue her education in the social science sector. As a former refugee, she has particular interest in how first-generation refugees can assimilate into Australian culture.

A former recipient of a Volunteering Western Victoria Young Volunteer Award, she hopes to work with refugee settlement, assimilation and welfare and help develop future polices in the sector. Muh Muh is also a former refugee, with her mother the sole provider for a family of four children. Muh Muh and her family have overcome significant adversity to resettle in Australia and she will encourage others in the region’s Karen community to achieve goals by furthering their education. She said the scholarship would help her overcome financial limitations affecting her studies.

College backs its Koorie students Horsham College is strongly promoting programs that support Koorie education and enhance overall student comprehension of indigenous culture. It has praised the efforts of two Koorie students who have passed Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning or Victorian Certificate of Education. College senior school assistant principal Carlos Lopez said Louise King had worked consistently to earn her VCE. “Louise’s persistence and hard work has been recognised by her teachers, who report her outstanding efforts in 2017 to achieve her goal,” he said. “We thank Louise’s family and the Koorie community for working with Horsham College to support her though the demands of VCE.” Mr Lopez said Justine Skinner Burns, a recipient of a MADEC scholarship, had worked with the school’s VCAL team to achieve her Intermediate VCAL certificate. “Again the college thanks Justine’s family and the Koorie community in supporting her through her schooling.”

Science

In the last week of November three Horsham College students attended a Residential Indigenous Science Experience, RISE, at the University of Melbourne. RISE aims to inspire students about careers that can lead from studying maths and science. Developed by the University of Melbourne and the Gene Technology Access Centre, the program is crafted for year-nine and 10 students to ex-

INSPIRED: Horsham College student Cody Vigenser attended a Residential Indigenous Science Experience in Melbourne. perience the ‘tangible and hands-on’ nature of science, including workshops and special presentations on chemistry, geology, genetics, physics and maths, and visits to industry. Indigenous and non-Indigenous mentors support participants throughout the camp and the program includes cultural and social experiences to strengthen the bonds between students and introduce some to the city of Melbourne. Cody Vigenser, Teagan Muir and Sarah Kennedy were three of 37 in-

digenous students from across Australia who participated in the program. Horsham College has also worked with Rae Talbot from Wimmera Catchment Management Authority to develop a Medicinal and Bush Foods Plant repository for both the college and Horsham community. The project builds closer links with the Koorie community and the indigenous heritage surrounding many of the plants. The repository includes species of plants from across the Wimmera.

Ramsar sites are wetlands that are listed as having international importance under the Ramsar Convention, an international wetland treaty. Sites across the state will receive funding through Catchment Management Authorities. The funding will be used to develop a management framework to ensure the sites are protected from decline. These important environmental sites attract international migratory waterbirds from as far away as Russia, China and Alaska. The wetlands provide many benefits to the community, including: • Providing a range of recreational opportunities such as boating, camping, bird watching and fishing, which help support tourism and local economies. • Providing habitat for native plants such as river red gums, mangroves, saltmarshes and for native animals such as waterbirds, frogs and fish. • Reducing the impacts of flooding by holding and slowing floodwater. • Protecting the water quality of rivers, estuaries and marine areas

by trapping sediment and filtering nutrients from catchments. • Playing an important part of Aboriginal cultural heritage. The funding delivers on the State Government’s response to the Victorian Auditor General’s Office audit of Victoria’s Ramsar program.

Water for Victoria Water Minister Lisa Neville said the government was investing $222-million to improve the health of waterways and catchments across the state as a part of its water plan, Water for Victoria. “Protecting Ramsar wetlands across the state is good for the environment, tourism and jobs, and provides recreation opportunities for the community,” she said. “We’re delivering an investment to look after these internationally important wetlands to ensure they stay protected for future generations.” Other sites are Barmah and Gunbower forests and Kerang and Hattah Kulkyne Lakes in northern Victoria, Western District Lakes in western Victoria, Corner Inlet and Gippsland Lakes in Gippsland, Western Port, Edithvale-Seaford wetlands and Port Phillip Bay and Bellarine Peninsula.

Young dancers assessed Horsham School of Dance ballet students have performed strongly during Australian Teachers of Dancing exams. Visiting examiner Cheryl Witchell said all students were well prepared and a pleasure to examine. The examination provided an opportunity to introduce students to the examination procedure ‘in a relaxed and familiar environment’. All the students received a medal and a written report with positive and technical comments to help with ongoing training. Thirty-three students from beginner through to senior level took part. All test one, two and three students passed successfully. In higher levels, four students achieved honours plus and another four students achieved highly commended plus. Principal Karen Booker said children who took part in exams gained confidence and learned important life skills and it gave them goal to work towards. Ultimately, the higher levels can lead to examinations for teaching diplomas.

Service celebrates year at Rupanyup W

est Wimmera Health Service has used an annual meeting at Rupanyup to celebrate highlights and achievements of the past 12 months and to look to the future.

People from across the service’s reach area attended the evening at Rupanyup, which along with Minyip and Murtoa, were formerly under Dunmunkle Health Services. Dunmunkle services merged with West Wimmera Health Service in July 2016. Acting chief executive Ritchie Dodds said the annual meeting was a great success. “While we have headquarters at Nhill, we are of course proud to equally serve all of the nine vibrant communities across our large catchment area,” he said. “Taking our AGM on the road to Rupanyup was a great way to engage with members of our wider West Wimmera Health Service communities.” The focus of the annual meeting was the safety of customers and the quality of care provided to them. Guest speakers Lesley Robinson, Bianca Jones, Kimberlee Howe and Laura Schembri gave a presentation on ‘Working Together for Better Diabetes Management’. The service provided guests with an overview of its collaborative approach to diabetes management and better outcomes for its customers. “Our audience was astounded to learn that

one in 11 adults have diabetes, meaning it affects 425-million people around the world,” Mr Dodds said. “This is a relevant and topical health condition among all of our communities, so we wanted to take the opportunity to share how our team approach to helping people with diabetes gives individual support and care to help people effectively manage their condition. “We will continue to share more information about our services and programs, such as our diabetes-management support, with all our communities via regional newspapers and social media.” The annual meeting also provided an occasion to set the scene for the service’s future with the launch of its new Strategic Plan 2017-2022. The service unveiled its five key strategic focuses to the community. These set a blueprint for the future direction of the service. They are: Empower our community to live their best life; invest in population health; build partnerships for healthier communities; harness technology and innovation; and strengthen our workforce capacity. Copies of the Strategic Plan 2017-2022 and a copy of the quality account are available online at www.wwhs.net.au/about_us/publications or by emailing Ashleigh.Morrison@wwhs.net.au.

How much do you throw away? W

FINANCE

hile the move is on to become a cashless society, notes and coins are likely to be with us for some time yet.

‘Touch and go’ payments might be increasing, but for many small purchases most of us still rely on good old cash. And because it’s easier to hand over a note for each purchase than to scramble in our pockets or purses for the correct change, by the end of the week we often end up with a hefty pile of low-value coins. These coins are such a pain that, according to one survey, 93 percent of respondents admitted to throwing away five-cent pieces, with 29 percent even ditching 10-cent pieces. Okay, so tossing away a dollar’s worth of small change each week won’t put much of a dent in your future wealth, but at least consider dropping those coins into a donation box. Combined with thousands of other people’s donations, your spare change can make a real difference to the services that charities provide. There are, however, other areas where we effectively throw away money, and in amounts that can really add up: • Food: On average Australians throw away around one third of the food we buy. • Gas and electricity: When was the last time you shopped around for the best deal on your gas and power bills? You could save hundreds of dollars a year. • Gift cards: Often end up at the back of a drawer until they expire, or you might only spend part of the total value. • Impulse buying: How much do you spend on clothing you don’t wear and other items you don’t use? • Lunches: Even if you skip the smashed avo, a takeaway lunch costs much more than one you make yourself. In most of these cases the solutions are pretty obvious. • Only buy the food you will use. A few loose

carrots and apples might be a better buy than the kilo bags that start to rot in the crisper. If you regularly have a surplus of some foods find recipes that use them. Soups and casseroles are a great way to use up all sorts of ingredients. • Compare what other gas and electricity retailers are offering. • Have a good look at your credit-card statement. Were all your purchases necessary? • Place your gift cards in front of your credit cards to remind you to use them instead. • Make your own lunch. Many people can easily save $10 or $15 dollars a day with little effort. Once any impulse buying habits are under control, this could be the supercharger of your savings. Will implementing these changes make a real difference? Let’s see. Imagine that you adopt some of these suggestions and as a result save an average of $60 a week. Stashed away in a savings account earning an interest rate of two percent a year for 20 years, those modest weekly savings will grow to more $76,700. Contributed to an investment that provides an average return of seven percent a year and you could be looking at having around $136,000 in 20 years. Does that give you a better idea of how much money you could really be throwing away? What to do with your newfound savings capacity will depend on your goals and situation. Your financial adviser will be able to help you make the most of the money you don’t throw away.

Cake Decorators Association of Victoria Horsham branch members have helped make Christmas a little tastier for others by donating 90 cakes to the city’s Christian Emergency Food Centre. The ladies made decorations at meetings in the lead-up to working bees to ice and decorate the cakes, which will go in the centre’s Christmas hampers. Coles, Woolworths and the food centre donated the cakes. This year, Fresh Food Industries’ Gary

Manchip donated Orchard icing for the project. The ladies enjoy decorating cakes to donate to the worthy cause. Throughout the past 26 years of the club, members have donated more than 1500 cakes to charity. Members meet on the third Tuesday of each month in Horsham RSL’s meeting room, starting in February. New members are welcome. People can Julie on 0418 388 912 for more information about the club and becoming a member.

SHARING EXPERIENCES: Former Horsham College students, from left, Sanchita Sarker, Ashleigh Miller and Rebecca and Julia Clarke.

Graduates share survival tips F

our Horsham College 2016 graduates have shared their top Victorian Certificate of Education survival tips for students entering the important period of their schooling.

The students have gone on to further their education and are studying at universities. They are Sanchita Sarkar, Biomedical Sciences Advanced – Hons – Monash University; Ashleigh Miller, Design, The University of Melbourne; and Rebecca and Julia Clarke, both studying Nursing-Paramedicine, Australian Catholic University. 10 tips: A Survival Guide to the VCE • Do the subjects that are most interesting to you. It makes all the difference because nothing is more boring than being in a math class when you would rather be doing art. This will also make it easier to remember the content. There is no merit in taking subjects of no interest to you, simply because they ‘scale’ up. Also, consider which subjects could be useful for you when deciding what you want to do after high school; look at pre-requisites, capabilities, skills and needs. • Always attend to your health and monitor your physical wellbeing. There is no substitute for good nutrition and breakfast; many students get sick during VCE. There will be times when you need to commit to a full eight hours’ sleep, otherwise it will catch up to you and getting caught falling asleep in class is not fun.

• It is equally important to keep track of your mental wellbeing; exercise and leisure activities can often provide a break. School will get stressful – trust us – take time to relax and make sure you keep a support group for when things get hard. Use teachers, because they only want to see you succeed, and accept help from your parents. If you are feeling stressed find resources to help you, whether that be the chaplain at school, counselling services or online services. • Look out for your friends at school and embrace the shared experience of VCE. Your peers will be your main support group at school, so share your goals and help each other out. • Prioritise the things that are most important to you; recognise that there will be times where it is not possible to have it all and some commitments might need to be negotiated or dropped. Taking on too much is a sure way to burn out and sacrifice quality. Discuss oncoming responsibilities with parents and guardians and keep them involved. • Be an active learner. Ask questions and dedicate yourself in class discussions. Make the most of class time. Let your subject teachers know the goals you have at the beginning of the year and regularly seek feedback about how you are travelling. But remember that teachers have lives too, and won’t always reply to emails within five minutes. • VCE is what you decide it to be. Do not

compare yourself to others because they will have different expectations for themselves at the finish line. A number or assignment score does not define you and should not be compared with another student’s grades. Make goals and keep perspective; setting targets will ground you in reality and make your work more tangible. The atmosphere of the year can lend itself to competition and comparisons, but it is vital to remember what you wanted out of VCE and to keep that goal in mind. Speak to people who have gone before you and learn from their experiences. • Find your best way of studying; be realistic about time allocations for each subject and make sure to revise each regularly. Use and make summaries, complete practice questions, online quizzes, study partners, mind maps and posters. • Try to stay ahead when possible; extended questions, extra essays, reading ahead and putting the extra hours in during relatively relaxed periods will have invaluable rewards later on in the year. And do not leave your study to the last day. • VCE is a marathon, not a sprint. Burning yourself out at the beginning or cramming during SWOTVAC will never take the place of a sustained, solid effort from day one. Often year 12 is mistaken for a year; it’s only eight months in reality. Focused studying, both harder and smarter, will set you up best to reach your goals.

Global award for Sudholz

ast Grampians Health Service and WDEA Works are celebrating a successful partnership, resulting in Ararat College student Melanie Sporton’s recent completion of Certificate III in Individual Support – Ageing, Home and Community, through a school-based traineeship.

Melanie successfully completed her work placement at East Grampians Health Service’s Garden View Court hostel under the direction of manager Maree Fraser.

WDEA Works trainer Shelley Murphy provided education support for Melanie to complete her studies throughout the school year, while balancing her school commitments. She said for the first time, the WDEA Works Training Division had supported two students from the Ararat and Stawell communities. WDEA Works program support officer Loretta Linke said WDEA management and staff appreciated the support offered to the organisation for the school-based traineeship program by the host employers, East Grampians

Health Service in Ararat and Eventide Homes in Stawell. Garden View Court manager Maree Fraser said it had been a pleasure having Melanie as part of the team at the hostel during her training. “Melanie worked well with our staff and the residents loved having her around,” she said. “The interaction between them was great to see. “It is very important that all our staff share their skills and teach our trainees.”

Thomas Sudholz, of Horsham, has won recognition for his dedication to international understanding while studying at Deakin University. University leaders presented him with a Global Citizenship Award, an initiative of Deakin University, at Deakin Edge Federation Square Melbourne. The award reflects dedication to considerable time and effort to international roles while undertaking studies. Mr Sudholz met the criterion through his presidency of both the

Deakin Engineering Society and University Cricket Society, volunteering as a peer support network leader and by representing Deakin University in South Africa as an international student. He wrote a column for The Weekly Advertiser while studying overseas. He has completed a double degree in engineering and commerce and is working with GWMWater in Horsham. Thomas will confer his bachelor degrees in February.

Year 12, a big, rewarding year... Imogen Chesterfield, Ethan Jolley and Esther Craig have graduated from St Brigid’s College in Horsham after completing VCE. The trio have shared some of their experiences of year 12, along with some advice, with The Weekly Advertiser readers:

Imogen Chesterfield Year 12 was one of the best and hardest years of my entire schooling life. The endless amount of study was gruelling and it was easy at times to feel overwhelmed by the sheer size of my homework pile. Yet despite the workload, year 12 was easily the best year of school I have ever experienced. The chance to finally pursue my own interests by choosing my own subjects meant that for the first time I was genuinely interested in everything I studied. This helped come exam time, as long hours of studying are less arduous of a task when you find the content engaging. Exams themselves were nerve wracking to say the least, and it was

Wednesday, December 20, 2017

hard not to feel like my entire future rested on what I wrote in the space of those few hours. However, if you complete the SACs and study hard throughout the year, the exams are not completely impossible to face. They are difficult, but once they are over it is the best feeling in the world. Now that I am finished year 12, I plan to find full-time work until I am completely sure about what I want to study at university. My only advice to future year 12 students is to enjoy the year, as it really does pass so quickly, and to remember that your ATAR does not define the success of your entire schooling. Just one ranking does not encapsulate 13 years of memories and learning. – Imogen Chesterfield

Ethan Jolley What can I say... year 12 would have to be the best year of my entire schooling. Not because I know that I will be finished with school forever, not because I know that next year I can take the next chapter in my life’s journey,

but because this year has been filled with so much excitement, even among the never-ending assessment, homework tasks and revision sessions. As year 12s, the year’s journey involves you becoming more united and cohesive as a year level. Surprisingly you get to know everyone that little bit better, even though you have worked alongside them for five years already, and in the process you start to reflect on all the good times you have had with this group you now class as family, and become a little saddened in the realisation that it all must come to an end. Sitting exams is every year 12’s nightmare. Just thinking about the idea of sitting down for two to three hours writing non-stop, and having to think off the top of your head about content you learnt at the start of the year, is frightening. But after going through that experience, I think to myself that it really wasn’t that bad. Yes, there are people who say that your final exams are so important, that these are the exams that end 13 years of schooling. But if you prepare for them, and at the end of the day do your best, then that’s all that really matters. And if you don’t get the score you need for your university course then there are other ways to pursue your dream career. My plans for joining the Air Force and studying at the Australian Defence Force Academy were crushed a couple weeks before my exams. I received a letter in the mail from

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

the medical section of Defence Force Recruiting stating that I was medically unsuitable for military service because of my health scare in 2016. Despite this destroying my dreams of joining the Defence Force, I’ve remained positive. Next year for me is about working and getting experience in as many different fields as I can, that way I can see what I enjoy and what I’m good at. I will also now be looking into different university courses, as this wasn’t on my mind at all this year. I’m really looking forward to where the next few years take me. – Ethan Jolley

Esther Craig Going into year 12 at St Brigid’s College seemed like a daunting task 10 months ago, and I was sure the year was never going to come to an end. I began my VCE journey in 2015, as an unknowing and innocent year 10 doing units one-two general maths. The stakes were raised again in Year 11, when I sat my first unit three-four VCE exams, completing both further maths

and legal studies. Although year 11 was an extremely busy time, juggling year 12 subjects along with my normal subjects, the efforts paid off as I finished with two decent study scores under my belt entering into my final year. 2017 has been a whirlwind of social activities, schooling milestones, working, calisthenics, and most importantly, studying. My final year as a high school student was unlike any other year. I thoroughly enjoyed the perks and privileges that came with donning the senior student jumper. As the seniors of St Brigid’s, my class mates and I had the opportunity to take on leadership roles. I was lucky enough to receive the role of house captain of Kildare and got to undertake some exciting jobs, such as writing our house song and organising our competitors in the annual swimming sports. However, the most memorable aspect of year 12 for me was the bond that formed between myself and the 50 other kids who were experiencing the same struggles and triumphs every day, attempting to make it to the ‘all-important’ exams at the end of the year. In all honesty, sitting my VCE exams has been the most stressful experience in my life so far, however, it was also an exciting challenge that signifies the culmination of years of hard work. To all future year 12s, remember that you get out what you put in, and hard work is rewarded. – Esther Craig

Students in Year 9 achieved outstanding growth in Numeracy (NAPLAN), with all students achieving either moderate or high growth. It has also been a year where we have reflected on the history of Warracknabeal, as we celebrated 150 years of the town. WSC continues the legacy of the past, whilst educating and training for the future. As the construction of the new Education Precinct begins, these are exciting times for education in Warracknabeal.

Thousands of young Australians have finished school and university for 2017 and are about to embark on well-deserved celebrations with family and friends. Counselling and support agency headspace, however, has reminded everyone that some young people might experience anxiety during this time. This might be from waiting for, and then receiving, final exam results that are not what was expected or the uncertainty around a job or further study options. Headspace clinicians across the country encounter many young people experiencing anxiety at this time of year. National Youth Mental Health Foundation has also reminded young people that heightened anxiety can significantly affect a young person’s mental health and wellbeing. Headspace senior clinical advisor Simon Dodd said anxiety was common and could affect many people including individuals who were normally on top of life’s challenges. “Anxiety becomes a problem when it occurs frequently, feels overwhelming and interferes with daily functioning,” he said. “For some people, if left untreated, anxiety disorders can develop into other mental health difficulties including issues with alcohol and other drugs.” Headspace Horsham community development and youth engagement officer Emma Hynes said clinicians at the centre had observed many young people feeling overwhelmed with exam stress. “For some young people, the end of the year and exam stress can exacerbate underlying issues that might have been present all along. But now their mental wellbeing has returned to a healthy and happy balance with the extra pressure removed,” she said. Ms Hynes said it was important for young people, and their families, to remember that school

and university results could be a pivotal time in a young person’s life – but regardless of the outcome there were always options available. “Young people should remember that while putting in all their efforts towards exams is important, there are plenty of opportunities for them in the community and further afield,” she said. “If any young person would like support they can come and visit our centre. We have youth mental-health clinicians and support workers who help young people with mental-health issues, as well as education and employment support.” She said young people or families worried about anxiety could speak to their doctor or contact Headspace Horsham centre to find out more information and get support. Some tips for helping with anxiety • Speak up: It’s a good idea to talk to someone you trust about how you are feeling. You might choose to talk with your family or friends, a teacher or coach, or your mob or elders. • Eating well and getting good sleep are important starting points. • Up your activity and exercise: Being active can have a huge impact on your anxiety levels. In fact, research suggests that regular exercise can be one of the best things you can do to reduce your daily anxiety levels. So try to get your heart rate up for 30 minutes at least three times a week. • Increase your relaxation: Find ways that help you to feel more relaxed and less tense. Breathing exercises are simple but really effective relaxation strategies. Mindfulness activities, listening to music and reconnecting with people or country can also help. • Notice your use of alcohol or drugs: Try to avoid, or at least limit, your use of alcohol and other drugs. While these things might help you to feel good in the short term, they can make you feel much worse in the longer term.

Harvest: Very good, good, bad, ugly 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY DEAN LAWSON

BUSY TIME: Drung South farmer Graeme Oliver assesses a crop of feed barley during the Wimmera grains harvest. Mr Oliver, who has wheat, barley, chickpea and bean crops, expects to finish harvest in the next few weeks. He said his results were ‘okay’ with the frost that devastated parts of the region missing his paddocks but heavy rain earlier this month causing ‘lodging’ or stem collapse in his barley. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

ictorian farmer leaders assessing the overall western Victorian grains harvest will start turning their attention south after confirmation of ‘mixed-bag’ results across much of the Wimmera.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said as Wimmera farmers lined up at receival centres across the region, predictions of stark paddock-to-paddock and crop-to-crop variations in product were proving accurate. He said assessments were now set to focus on how much damage the late frost that had decimated many Wimmera pulse crops, as well as hail and rain, had on Victoria’s southern cropping region. “All eyes will start turning to the south, where farmers will be hitting top gear with harvest and getting a gauge of their season,” he said. While the frost caused most damage to pulses north of the Great Dividing Range, it hit juvenile cereal crops in southern growing districts, especially in the Western District south of Ararat. Mr Jochinke said despite disastrous circumstances for some growers, Victoria was likely to overall have the best harvest result of any Australian state.

“The trouble is that we’re seeing very localised circumstances that are vastly different from region to region, which is leading to quality or quantity issues,” he said. “In the Wimmera, it is very hard to generalise results. “The truth is that the season will be quite reasonable for many people. “However, there will be some farm-

ers who have been absolutely smashed for one reason or another.” Mr Jochinke, a grain-grower from Murra Warra between Horsham and Warracknabeal, said take-away messages so far from this year’s harvest were that while the season had been tough for many, apart from last year, it had generally been better than recent years.

He said the season, which had been buoyed by confidence in the sector and had showed so much promise, had also provided compelling evidence for farmers to ensure they incorporated diverse levels of risk-management into their businesses. “But the main message across the industry is, that regardless of circumstances, for everyone to stay safe

Kookaburra communications head Shannon Gill said Kookaburra was honoured to be the maker of the Baggy Green for Australian teams, as well as caps for community clubs around Australia that help give every cricket team its identity. “As a proudly Australian company we welcome the opportunity to help further tell the story of what cricket means to the country, from backyard to Baggy Green,” he said. Wool growers have until March 30 to send a sample of their wool, complete with their name, property, fibre diameter, telephone number and email address to: Flock to Baggy Green c/- AWI GPO Box 4177, Sydney NSW 2001. They can also visit website www.wool.com/ baggygreen for more information about how to get involved. For the record, Maurice Dumesny, 62, played his first season of cricket in the 1968-69 season and last played in 2004-05 when he was 50. In his 431 innings he made 7259 runs to be Laharum’s third-highest run scorer behind Damien Bunworth and Robert Queale. He had a highest score of 102 not out and a career average of 19.41. He took a club-record 220 catches and captured 509 wickets at an average of 16.30 with best figures of 8-32. He is now relaxing on the tennis court on Saturday afternoons and this year is reflecting on outstanding wool prices.

The Woolmark Company, manufacturer Kookaburra and Cricket Australia have joined forces for the project, which involves inviting wool growers from across Australia to donate some of their wool for Australia’s iconic Baggy Green caps. Woolmark will collect donated wool from participating wool growers and take it to Kookaburra to create the caps worn by Australian men’s and women’s representative cricket teams during Test matches. The idea has already captured the attention of Wimmera wool growers who have had a strong link to cricket. Laharum wool grower Maurice Dumesny, who spent a lifetime either playing for or helping run Laharum Cricket Club, said the Flock to Baggy Green project was a tremendous idea. “It’s a great way of getting more people to know about wool and as growers it will be great for us to know we’ve helped cap Australian cricketers,” he said. Wool growers can donate as little or as much raw wool as they wish, with everyone who donates wool to receive a sample of the finished fabric as a memento of their contribution. Woolgrowers will also be given the opportunity to share their own cricketing stories over the course of the project. The project highlights the process by which Kookaburra transforms raw Australian wool into the ‘Baggy Green’. It also showcases the strong link between cricket and the wool industry, a connection that stretches back to before the Federation of Australia and continues to this day. Cricket has long been at the heart of rural and remote communities throughout Australia, with many past and present Australian cricketers having connections to the wool industry and hailing from regional areas. Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland has welcomed the Flock to Baggy Green project as an opportunity to celebrate the national cricket cap and the connection between Australian cricket and Australian wool growers. “The Baggy Green is a proud symbol of Australian cricket, and it is wonderful to have a project that gives wool growers the opportunity

to donate some of their wool and be able to trace it to the caps that will be worn by Australian cricketers for years to come,” he said. “The initiative is also a reminder of the strong link between Australian cricket and rural communities.” Australian Wool Innovation is the parent company of Woolmark and chief executive Stuart McCullough is confident wool growers will support the Flock to Baggy Green project “What a perfect opportunity for wool growers across Australia to support our national cricket,” he said. “Cricket and wool have been closely linked for a long time, you can actually see a sheep on the Baggy Green if you look closely.”

Survey reveals positive sentiment 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

espite anxiety over late widespread frost and crop-damaging storms, a statewide bank survey has suggested farmers across Victoria are looking to 2018 with optimism.

Rabobank’s quarterly Rural Confidence Survey has reported strong positive sentiment across all agricultural sectors, in particular sheep and dairy industries. The survey, completed last month, has also shown Victoria retaining its position of having the highest rural confidence levels in the nation. Survey results at the time suggested eight out of 10 Victorians, buoyed by both commodity prices and seasonal conditions were anticipating higher or stable gross farm incomes in the coming year. Its findings were that with climatic conditions favourable for much of the

year, Victoria would buck the national trend as the only state on-track to harvest an above-average grains crop. Results showed Victorian farmer confidence had rebounded to a net reading of 26 percent, after dipping to seven percent the previous quarter. The proportion of the state’s farmers expecting agricultural economic conditions to improve in the next 12 months increased to 36 percent, up from 24 percent in the previous survey. The percentage expecting conditions to worsen fell to 10 percent, from 17 percent, while more than half, 52 percent, had a stable outlook on the coming year. Rabobank regional manager for southern Victoria and Tasmania, Hamish McAlpin, said positive sentiment prevailing across the state was largely due to late winter and follow-up rain with some grain grow-

ers looking to harvest an average to above-average crop. He said heavy early December rain in Victoria, while a significant weather event for some parts of the state, had less of a negative impact on crops than had been anticipated. “Fortunately the heaviest falls focussed on predominantly grazing country in the north-east of the state, rather than cropping areas – although, horticulture in the northern part of the state will experience some negative impacts as a result of the large volumes of water,” he said. Mr McAlpin said Victoria generally had a good spring, moving into summer. “And, although the warmer weather took a while to get here, the widespread falls in October helped many crops reach their potential,” he said. “That said, there has been some significant damage to crops from frost,

particularly in early November, with lentils in the north and cereals in the south the biggest casualties.” Mr McAlpin said the full extent of the frost damage was not yet known. He said of all farmers in the state, sheep producers were the most bullish about their prospects. He said 46 percent of sheep graziers reported a positive outlook on the year ahead, with a further 51 percent expecting stable conditions in the agricultural economy. “Lamb prices have been strong for a number of years now, while wool prices continue to hit new records,” he said. Across the sectors, commodity prices were deemed to be the biggest driver of positive sentiment, cited by 66 percent of Victorian farmers with an optimistic outlook. This percentage rose to 82 percent in the sheep sector.

Seasonal conditions were also behind the optimism in the state’s agri sector, nominated as a key driver of confidence by 53 percent of those with a positive outlook – up markedly from 28 percent in a previous survey. Farmers in south-west Victoria and the Wimmera-Mallee were the most upbeat about seasonal conditions. Victorian farmers also reported healthy expectations for gross farm incomes in 2018, with 38 percent expecting their incomes to increase over the coming 12 months, while a further 43 percent expected their financial position to remain stable. The quarterly Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey questions an average of 1000 primary producers across a wide range of commodities and geographical areas throughout Australia. The next results are scheduled for release in March 2018.

Dust explosion closes site

DUST EXPLOSION: Murtoa’s GrainCorp grain-receival site has reopened following a fire last week. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Murtoa’s GrainCorp site was closed on Wednesday last week while Country Fire Authority crews battled a structure fire. Horsham Control Centre public information officer Jenny McGennisken said several fires broke out following a dust explosion about 1pm. She said the fires were contained in a structure at the silos and respondents waited on specialist equipment before proceeding further. “They waited on a specialist to arrive from Ballarat with appropriate high-reach firefighting

equipment,” she said. Ms McGennisken said it was a tricky situation, with firefighters unable to put a significant amount of water on the fires. “There was a very high risk of further explosions due to the volatile nature of the dust,” she said. Ms McGennisken said black smoke was visible from quite a distance from the silos. She said despite the smoke, there was no threat to the community. Authorities contacted the town’s schools. Murtoa College leaders evacuated students to the town’s swimming pool, which was al-

ready in the pipeline due to extreme weather conditions. GrainCorp corporate affairs manager Luke O’Donnell said the fire occurred in one of the silos. He said the site was evacuated, following operational procedure. He said emergency services quickly contained the fire, giving the ‘all clear’ about 7.30pm. “There was limited operational impact and all bunkers are open,” he said. More than six fire trucks attended the scene, along with a large water tanker.

Look out for each other and look after yourself. That’s the message to grain growers from new Grains Research Development Corporation Southern Regional Panel member Fiona Marshall this harvest. Mrs Marshall, a farm business manager, grain grower and parent at Mulwala in the southern Riverina, said safety and wellbeing – physical and mental – should be the number one priority at harvest. “Safety is the most important thing throughout harvest,” she said. “You have to look after each other, take care of yourself and maintain conversations.” She said the need to support each other had been heightened this year following severe weather events, particularly late-season frosts, expected to result in significant crop loss for some growers. “The late frosts have not been widespread across entire regions. That is what makes this situation so incredibly difficult – unlike a drought or a flood when so many farmers would be going through the same thing at the same time and recognition of their plight is extensive, these frosts are in isolation and growers are left to deal with the fall-out,” she said. “When your neighbours are

Fiona Marshall celebrating a bumper harvest but your crops have been wiped out by frost – it is a devastating position for a grower to be in.” Mrs Marshall, who has been farming with her husband Craig for 21 years, said it was critical that growers affected by frost and other damaging weather sought support and maintained communication with family, friends and others in the community. Having already spoken with many growers impacted by frost, she said it was essential to keep conversation channels open. “Communication is key for all grain growers, especially at this time of the year,” she said. “If you are lying in bed at night worrying about money or how you are going to get the next crop in, talk to the bank manager, talk to other people. “Don’t internalise because you

will only make yourself more tired, stressed and anxious. “As hard as it might be, you just have to deal with situations and move on, so whatever happens, at least you are in action and not just dwelling on something and achieving nothing.” Mrs Marshall also stressed that farms were the most dangerous workplaces in the nation and at harvest that fact was amplified, with so many people and large machinery involved. “Not cutting corners and keeping people fed, hydrated and well rested is vital,” she said. “If you’re tired, you have just got to stop and rest. Getting to the end of harvest without incident and celebrating together is so important.” Mrs Marshall said downtime after the crops were harvested was also imperative. “Harvest is an absolutely exhausting process – but it’s what we work towards all year. Taking some time away from the farm at the end of it all is critical,” she said. To support growers experiencing difficult circumstances, the GRDC has produced a farmer health fact sheet on building emotional resilience. It is available online at www. grdc.com.au/GRDC-FS-EmotionalResilience.

Tips to reduce harvester fire risk 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

rains Research and Development Corporation fire-safety experts and other industry organisations are encouraging growers to implement practical measures to reduce the risk of harvester fires.

Header fires have highlighted the importance of harvester hygiene and maintenance, especially when harvesting volatile crops such as lentils. Kondinin Group research reveals that on average, about seven percent of harvesters will start a fire every year. In these cases, one in 10 will cause significant damage to the machine or surrounding crop. Kondinin Group research engineer Ben White, who has reported to the GRDC and industry on harvester fires, said where harvest was underway it might be too late for growers to make modifications such as exhaust-system shielding treatments, so their attention should be directed to ongoing monitoring of machinery throughout harvest. “Machinery failure is in many cases responsible for fires starting, so harvester hygiene is incredibly important,” he said. “Operators should be conducting regular clean-outs during harvest and exercising particular caution when harvesting leafy pulse crops, as these are renowned for dust build-up.”

Mr White offered the following 10 tips to improve harvester fire safety: • Most harvester fires are caused by dust and trash build-up and bearing failures. Keep the machine cleaned down regularly, starting at the front then working in a top down approach. A final revisit and blast of air over the exhaust system to dislodge any dust that might have been disturbed and settled in the course of the clean down is recommended. • Pulse crops are substantially more volatile than cereals so extra care and vigilance is required when harvesting these. • Monitoring and logging bearing temperatures with an infra-red heat gun or thermal imager helps identify at-risk bearings so they can be replaced before failure. • Recognise the big four factors that contribute to fires: relative humidity, ambient temperature, wind and crop type and conditions. Abide by statebased grain harvesting codes of practice and declared harvest bans, and observe the Grassland Fire Danger Index protocol on high fire-risk days. • Have at least the minimum required water and fire-fighting unit in the paddock being harvested. • Having a pair of extinguishers – water and A/B/E – at the cab-entry ladder and a pair at the rear of the machine closer to the engine means firefighting options are available when

MAINTENANCE: Removing flammable material from the engine bay is important in preventing harvester fires. Picture: BEN WHITE and where they are needed. A fire suppression system provides the best chance of extinguishing a fire on a harvester. • Having a fire plan in place with the harvest team is imperative. Knowing who will do what and identifying communications channels to be used

means everyone knows what to do. Having a listing of emergency numbers or uhf channels in the cab is essential. • Harvesting highly volatile crops such as lentils across the paddock into the prevailing wind gives operators a better chance of containing the fire as

incendiaries are blown onto stubble, not standing crop. • If operators do have a fire on board, pulling out of the crop immediately and facing the machine into the wind before attempting to fight it gives the operator the best chance of controlling the fire. Remember, harvesters are replaceable so prioritise personal safety. • Static does not start fires, because it does not have enough energy for ignition of crop residues. Be mindful that it can, however, contribute to dust-fuel loads on the machine. The GRDC is part of a national harvester fire working group, led by Grain Producers Australia and reviewing research, development and extension gaps and associated need for future investment. GPA chairman Andrew Weidemann, of Rupanyup, said it was important for industry to unite in an effort to counter the increasing incidence of harvester fires. “The working group includes growers, the insurance industry, contract harvesters and machinery manufacturers – we are working together to address the issue and prevent these fires occurring,” he said. The GRDC’s Reducing Harvester Fire Risk Back Pocket Guide is available at www.grdc.com.au/ GRDC-BPG-ReducingHarvesterFireRisk.

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

Natimuk gymnasts’ end of year display Natimuk and District Gymnastic Club’s annual display and presentation night reflected a successful year for its 230 registered gymnasts and coaches. President Amanda Carracher said gymnasts performed group routines and individual displays to an appreciative audience. “There was a great atmosphere in the gym. We even had a guest performance from former Natimuk gymnast Ryan Morrow,” she said. “2017 was a busy year, with 230 registered gymnasts including our kindergym participants, victory at Men’s Junior Victorian Championships with our level two boys bringing home gold and Ben Grey winning his level. “Once again our annual invitational competition in November was a successful weekend, with the club hosting more than

300 gymnasts from across Victoria and Mt Gambier.” Mrs Carracher said coaches awards were presented in every level and each class on the night, including recreational classes. Other presentations were the Gus Fordham Memorial Rising Star award, which went to Ben Grey and Georgia Schultz, and the Reg Hateley Award – presented to a male and female gymnast for their dedication and commitment to gymnastics during the year, showing good gymnastic ability, enthusiasm towards their training and positive behaviour to coaches and other gymnasts – which went to Hunter Campey and Anesu Gororo. “Anesu was also recognised for achieving her state level 10 in gymnastics,” Mrs Carracher said. A life membership was awarded to Janelle Payne.

Phantoms into premier division T

FULL VOLLEY BY DAVID BERRY

he pathway to the top for female volleyballers in the Wimmera is now complete following the acceptance

of Phantoms Volleyball Club’s top women’s team into Victoria’s premier competition. The Horsham club was established in 2012 to give western Victorian volleyballers an opportunity to compete in State League. Following successive years of playing finals in the reserves women’s competition and a division-two championship, the club agreed the time was right to take the next step. There are several girls who are now in the 18 to 25-year age bracket who have played national juniors, have a lot of experience in the game and are ready to step up. To complement this, there are three girls who have represented Australia at youth level who have expressed an interest in joining the club.

Wednesday, December 20, 2017

It is very exciting that we have high quality girls wanting to play with our club, and their inclusion will only add strength to the team. Experienced Volleyball Horsham member Kara Johnson is excited about the prospects of playing against some of the best female players in the state. “There is a chance Horsham will get to host a round of matches and that would be great to play in front of family and friends on our home court,” she said. “It also gives us experienced players the motivation to keep on trying to be the best we can be and play at a level we don’t normally get to do.” It also means up-and-coming girls in the Wimmera can see a clearly defined pathway to the top and they do not have to move away to experience high-level volleyball. Murtoa young guns Cleo Baker and Laelah Robertson are two examples of talented junior players excited about the prospect of playing at the highest level. “The decision to admit the team

into premier competition means I will train and play as hard as I can to achieve the goal of playing in the top side,” Robertson said. “Playing with the girls on the premier team would give me a chance to play with some very experienced players that could teach me so much.” Baker said playing with the Phantoms was a new goal and would help her achieve greater skills. “I have dropped my other interests now, to focus on my one passion – volleyball,” she said. “To play at the highest level in state is something I would love to be a part of, and now has me motivated to be the best that I can be.” Phantoms will host selection trials in Bendigo on February 10 and 24 next year before playing in the annual Warrnambool seaside tournament over the Labour Day long weekend in March. Round one is scheduled for March 24, which will be a red letter day in the club’s short history.

RECOGNITION: Chloe Mackley and Thomas Roberts accept a Volleyball Australia award on behalf of the college.

Outstanding achievement Horsham College is celebrating a ‘15 Year Outstanding Achievement Award’ from Volleyball Australia in recognition of its participation at the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup from 2003 to 2017. This is the 36th year of the competition, with more than 6000 students in 562 teams participating. Horsham College physical education teacher Paul Denson said the cup was now the largest sports participation event in the Southern Hemisphere. “In our time of participation more than 150 students supported by many college staff and parents have participated in this unique sporting event,” he said.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

“During this period Horsham College won numerous gold, silver and bronze awards. “In 2005, our under-16 boys team won their honours division, making them the best school boys’ team for their age in Australia.” Mr Denson acknowledged the support of Volleyball Horsham’s Monday night domestic competition, which supported students’ growth in the sport. “Our teams cannot afford to travel around the state for valuable experience and so the local competition is an inaugural part of our growth and development,” he said. “It is a place to play the game, learn the skills and hang out with mates.”

Two Wimmera swimmers acquitted themselves well at Swimming Victoria’s Age Championships at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. Warracknabeal’s Lily Eldridge and Horsham’s Eloise Wills contested the championships, which are open to all Victorian swimmers – metropolitan and country – who have met or beaten qualifying times at specific meets in the lead-up to the event. Wimmera district swimmers competed in meets at venues such as Geelong, Ballarat or Melbourne to qualify. Heats are contested in the morning session and the 10 fastest swimmers progress to the finals, which are in the evening on the same day. Lily, 14, qualified in four events for her age group, 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle, 100m breaststroke and 100m backstroke. She set three new personal bests in 100 freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke. Lily was the ninth fastest in the 100m breaststroke heats and went on to compete in the final, where she finished ninth. Lily said she had spent countless hours in the pool training and to reach a final at this level was a reward for the sacrifices she and her family had made. Eloise, 12, qualified in six events for her age group – 100m backstroke, 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle, 200m backstroke, 50m freestyle and 200m individual medley. She set two new personal best times in 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle. Eloise said she enjoyed the experience, but struggled to back up after a silver medal-winning performance at the Pacific School Games in Adelaide the previous week. Both girls, along with other swimmers from the district, will spend time over the holiday break preparing for Swimming Victoria’s Country Championships, which will be in Shepparton from January 26 to 28.

The ACE Radio network stablemates will provide sponsorship to the value of $25,000 to promote and support the game next year.

AFL Wimmera Mallee general manager Stephen McQueen said football leaders were delighted the partnership had expanded. “It is fantastic that ACE Radio is putting so much into local football and sport in general and we’re extremely privileged that MIXX FM will again be broadcasting our games live throughout the season,” he said. ACE Radio Wimmera general manager Brendan O’Loughlin said the decision to expand support for regional football was a ‘no brainer’. “Football is such an integral part of Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians society that we were

Hornets finish on a high H

BY SARAH SCULLY

orsham Hornets men and women’s teams are sitting pretty in top spot of their respective Country Basketball League north-west conference ladders leading into the Christmas break.

Both sides scored comfortable wins over Maryborough and Castlemaine at the weekend. Men’s playing coach Cam Bruce said he enjoyed entering the break on a high note. “Any time you get two wins in a weekend is good,” he said. “I was happy with how the boys played, especially on Sunday and the way they backed it up, because it was hot the night before. “It was good to see the way we responded to a few challenges from Castlemaine on Sunday, because they got a bit of a lead on us a couple of times and we were able to peg it back.” Bruce put both wins down to a team effort, with an even spread of scorers. “Heading into Christmas with nine wins and one loss – we’ll take that,” he said. “We’re looking forward to a break and we’ll get back into it in early January.” The Hornets will play fifth-placed Kyneton Tigers at home on January 13.

Sport Sharks win Wimmera District 12 swimmers will enjoy a break for Christmas before resuming the 2017-18 season in Ararat on February 3. Horsham Sharks accumulated 437 points to win the Neil Ross Trophy, a club award for the highest number of points during the weekend’s meet at Warracknabeal. The meet attracted 113 swimmers, with 19 from Ararat, one each from Ballarat and Grampians, 22 from Horsham, 20 from St Arnaud, 17 from Stawell and 33 from Warracknabeal. Swimmers contested 68 events in age groups ranging from eight and under to open division. Younger swimmers challenged themselves by entering open events as well as their age-group events. The largest number of competitors was in the 11-12 years girls events. Relays were hotly contested and there were several tight finishes in individual races. Trophies

Lady Hornets

Women’s coach Gareth Hiscock said he was pleased with his charges’ performances in both encounters. “Any time you score more than 200 points in a weekend is a good weekend,” he said. Maryborough took a narrow lead into quarter time during Saturday’s match, with the Hornets turning the tables in the second term to head into half time eight points up. The home side enjoyed a stellar second half to triumph by 45 points, 98-53. Ema Iredell top-scored with 21 points, followed by Georgia Hiscock, 20, and Maddie Iredell, 18. Castlemaine was no match for the Hornets on Sunday, with Caitlin Story, 19, and Liv Jones, 18, leading the Horsham outfit to a 71-point victory. “Georgia Hiscock and Liv Jones played well in both games, but all in all we had a really good even spread,” Hiscock said. “Everyone played really well.” Hiscock said the Lady Hornets had hit their best form for the season. “The break isn’t at a bad time but we will need to try to maintain momentum,” he said. “If we win our next game we will finish in top spot.” The Hornets women have only one game left for the home-and-away

Ararat Redbacks

Ararat’s men and women’s teams recorded narrow losses to Colac at the weekend but will be buoyed by improved performances as they enter the season break. The Redbacks men were competitive all game, with Zac Dunmore

leading the way with 17 points. The Redbacks women would have been disappointed to not get the better of the Kookas a second time in the south-west conference season and will look to return to the winners list against Terang on January 13. The Redbacks were best served by Delaney McLoughlan and Cecelia Stewart.

Croquet results

Dream run for Ararat owner-trainer Ararat owner Donna McKinnis and her husband-trainer Craig celebrated a victory at Ballarat last week when their four-year-old gelding Our Chance To Dream took out a restricted contest with driver Matt Craven in the sulky. Our Chance To Dream was having his eighth start for the McKinnis family after being purchased from NSW interests in September. “Donna saw him advertised on a website, liked the look of the photos and she did the whole deal,” Craig said. “He’s no star but had been close up in every run for us since Donna got him. We’re having plenty of fun at the races and that’s what it’s all about.” The pacer showed some ability for

former trainer Michael Muscat, managing wins at Bankstown and Newcastle from 10 starts but sprinkled among the successes were plenty of mentions in the steward’s reports – ‘over raced’, ‘broke, stood down two trials’, ‘raced roughly’ and ‘warning issued’. “I was a bit worried when we had a close look at his previous form but we changed a few things around when he arrived and he’s been pretty good since,” Craig said. “Hopefully he can win a couple more for us.”

Stawell success

A large syndicate of owners led by Stawell breeder Ken Salmon cheered home their smart filly Onthecrestofawave in the $7000 three-year-old

pace at Ballarat on Friday night. The daughter of Modern Art USA and Salmon’s talented race-mare Our Surfer Girl was having her first outing for seven months and made it a perfect ‘three from three’ when she overhauled leader Ima Princess Gemma in the shadows of the post with driver Grant Campbell in the sulky and sporting the Kerryn Manning stable silks. The victory was consolation for the owners who recently lost Our Surfer Girl’s month-old colt foal by Artspeak USA, which had to be put down after a freakish paddock accident. No doubt Othecrestofawave looks set for a very bright future and the runner-up Imprincessgemma was far

from disgraced after burning out of the gate to claim the lead at the start.

Split-round option BY ONE SHORT

he next round of Grampians Cricket Association is a oneday fixture with clubs having the option of either playing on Saturday or on January 6.

Officials believe the round will be split. Regardless of when it’s played, the main game will be between Aradale and Youth Club at Ararat’s Alexandra Oval. Scores have been low at Alexandra Oval, so the contest might become a battle between the respective batsmen as to who will take the points. A win to Aradale will see it leapfrog the Clubbers, and a win to Youth Club will see it keep right on the heels of ladder-leader Swifts-Great Western. Aradale’s Scotty Turner is having a great season with the bat and supported by Riley Wood and Tyler Cronin will look to post a competitive score. This will allow bowlers Brent Tate and Travis Horvertek to apply pressure to the Clubbers. Youth Club will rely on open-

ers Angus Barham and Damon Folkes to weather the storm, and permit Koby Stewart and Nic Baird to get at Aradale’s second-string bowlers. The Clubbers in turn will look to Folkes, Cam Kimber and Clinton Slorach to restrict Aradale’s batsmen. It is of note that in an earlier match the Clubbers inflicted Aradale’s only loss for the season thus far. Navarre hosts Buangor at Navarre, and as Buangor has just made the four, it will be out to consolidate its position. Navarre’s form so far suggests Buangor will have too much talent for the Grasshoppers. Navarre can be expected to put up a stern fight, but in the end Buangor might have too much depth of talent. Jessie and Tom Hannett are Navarre’s leading batsmen, but all too often they lack the support required for a good score. Spinners Lachy Oddie and Chris Jerram will be the bowlers most likely to do the damage. Buangor’s Jerram, Jacob Bates and Jack Ganley are the batsmen Navarre must dismiss cheaply if it

is to have a chance. Stawell’s Central Park will see Pomonal attempt to halt Swifts-Great Western’s winning streak. Lee Oliver and Matt Grinham have the task of restricting the Combine’s powerful batting line-up. Openers James Devery and Sam Cocks are having a good season, and Ricky Peters has the Bradman-like average of 99.67, and with Travis Nicholson and Tom Eckel make for a lot of hard work for the Tigers’ bowlers. The Combine boasts Matt Heffer, 18 wickets so far, and Jon Parkin, 13, who have consistently taken wickets each game, so the Tigers’ upper order of Luke Jordan, Clayton Mackley and Sam Spark will be under the pump. Halls Gap again travels to Tatyoon, where the hosts, having just been dumped from the four, will be anxious for a win to keep their finals aspirations alive. While it was an improved effort from the Gappers last game, in their minds will be their last effort at Tatyoon, when they were beaten outright.

HAT-TRICK FOR ARCHIE: Horsham cricket youngster Archie Elliott, 9, has lived every cricketer’s dream by capturing a hattrick. Filling in for older brother Reuben’s Homers White team in Horsham association’s under-14 competition, Archie took 5-3 off three overs including a double hat-trick against Noradjuha on Friday. Archie claimed his first two wickets from catches before sealing the hat-trick by bowling the next batsman. He completed the double hat-trick by again hitting the stumps and then his brother Reuben helped him claim his fifth wicket with another catch. Archie and Reuben also batted together and contributed a 30-run partnership.

Horsham trainer Paul Preusker continued his good recent run of form with a win at his home track on Sunday. The Preusker stable had The Great Artiste lining up in a maiden plate over 1200 metres, with Holly McKechnie riding. The four-year-old was ridden patiently back in the field after the start, then began to make ground from the 500-metre mark. The Great Artiste came round the home turn, with a long sweeping run. When balanced, the son of Atomic dashed clear for a one-and-a-half-length win. The Great Artiste looks to have a bright future, and

Telopea Downs trainer Darryl Dodson returned to the winners circle, courtesy of the long-priced Berthwistle, $22. Declan Bates took the ride for the 1800-metre event, at benchmark-58 level. The Al Maher mare settled

well back behind a solid early pace. In a winning move, Berthwistle was able to make ground before the turn and once balanced weaved a passage through the field. Berthwistle obtained clear galloping room, and dashed clear to score by half a length.

Del Nilo’s chocolates

Stawell trainers Terry and

Karina O’Sullivan also shared the spoils at the Horsham meeting, in a successful day for district participants. The father-daughter duo was represented in a benchmark 58 1400-metre event by Regina Del Nilo. A brilliant ride from Lewis German saw the skilful filly score a narrow but gutsy win, coming from off the pace.

Pigeons reign supreme H

BY DEAN LAWSON

omers will enter a Horsham Cricket Association Christmas break in a prime position to claim both major titles up for grabs this season.

The unbeaten Pigeons are clear leaders on overall and one-day ladders, with their biggest challenge likely to come from regular grand-final rival and second-placed Rupanyup-Minyip. The respective ladders mirror each other, with Horsham Saints sitting third and Laharum fourth with Jung Tigers and Blackheath-Dimboola outside the top four. With games set to resume after the break with one-day clashes on January 13, Horsham Saints appear to have put themselves in a powerful position to feature prominently come finals. The Saints beat Jung Tigers in a oneday thriller that went to the line at Horsham’s Community Oval, surviving long enough to make a Tigers’ score of 152. The Saints were all-out after sneaking only three runs ahead of the target. All-rounder Justtin Combe, back from suspension, was the primary destroyer for the winners, instigating a collapse by landing slow seamers on a length and capturing an incredible 5-9. Fellow all-rounder Tony Caccaviello then top-scored with an important 56 as the Saints, despite wickets falling, clipped their way to an important victory.

SEARCHING FOR RUNS: Blackheath-Dimboola’s Matt Everett gets down on one knee to caress a ball through mid-on during a Horsham Cricket Association twilight match at Horsham City Oval. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Veteran Tiger Marty Knight collected a consolation 5-16 in what represented the Tigers’ fourth narrow loss for the season. Jung Tigers, with two one-day and three two-game fixtures remaining, find themselves three points outside the top four on overall and one-day ladders.

Homers consolidated their vice-like hold on the competition with another comprehensive win, this time against Blackheath-Dimboola in a twilight match at Horsham City Oval. The Pigeons bowled the Bulls out for 106, offspinner Simon Hopper snaring 5-34 and left-armer Eddie Landwehr 3-20. Matt Everett, 34, and Brodie Cramer, 27, offered the main resistance in Blackheath-Dimboola’s middle order. Homers then responded by losing only one wicket, opener Michael Langford out for 67 and Sandy Hodge, 27, and Paddy Mills, 10, unbeaten when they passed the target. Laharum, meanwhile, appears set as the main rival with Jung Tigers for a swinging spot in the top four. The Mountain Men would have gone a long way to consolidate a top-four position had they managed an upset victory over Rupanyup-Minyip at Laharum. But the home side could manage only 148, which was probably never going to be enough against the Blue Panthers’ potent top order. Rupanyup-Minyip responded with 2-156 in 33 overs, reliable all-rounder Ryan Metelmann leading the way with a first-drop 81. Daniel Schaper was next best with 23. Earlier in the day Daniel Griffiths topscored with 47 for Laharum and young Blake Turner captured 4-31 for the winners.

Safe... JUST MADE IT: Blackheath-Dimboola batsman Brodie Cramer, in a desperate lunge to the crease, makes his ground as Homers â&#x20AC;&#x2122;keeper Adam Atwood collects and crashes the ball into the stumps during an intense moment at Horsham City Oval. Cramer made 27 in the Horsham association A Grade one-day clash but his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 106 was never enough to defend. Homers made 1-120 in reply to take a commanding lead over the competition into a Christmas break. Story, page 71. Pictures: PAUL CARRACHER

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no questioning the facts. In a bushfire, most homes burn down due to ember attack. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your responsibility to be fire ready this summer, so prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now. And on high-risk fire days, leaving early, before a fire starts, is always the safest option.
