Project gathers steam T

he managing director of a company at the heart of a $200-million Ararat agricultural bioenergy project will discuss partnership options with farmers next week.

Special Anzac Day poster INSIDE TODAY

Pacific Heat and Power managing director Dr Scott Grierson will address a community forum at Alexandra Oval Community Centre from 11am to 1pm on Tuesday. Dr Grierson is visiting Ararat as part of exploratory plans to assess the rural city’s potential of becoming the benchmark for large-scale agricultural bio-energy production. Pacific Heat and Power has joined Ararat Rural City Council to develop the concept for a Grampians Gas plant that uses district straw and

stubble to create energy. The concept involves transforming the agricultural waste into one or multiple renewable power sources. The potential is to generate reliable base-load power, heat and renewable gas, as well as biochar. The company confirmed its investigation into the concept in late March and with the council called for farmer input to assess raw-product availability and project scale. Ararat council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison said regional farmer input and partnerships were essential for the project moving ahead. “The project has come about from discussions with local agribusinesses who have been calling out for governments to take a lead on ways to recover energy from farm waste,” he said.

“Rather than wait for governments to catch up on finding ways to address our economic and environmental challenges, we’ve reached out to industry for a solution.” Dr Harrison said a farmer response had already been ‘extremely’ strong with agribusinesses from across western Victoria including Ararat, Horsham and Nhill committing more than 58,000 tonnes of straw and stubble via an expression-of-interest process. He emphasised that Tuesday’s forum would be ‘light on presentations and heavy on discussion’. “By combining the expertise of our economic and energy partners with the local knowledge of our farmers we’re taking a direct-action approach to solving a range of eco-

nomic and environmental challenges,” he said. “This project strongly aligns with our partnership with Federation University to secure the Ararat Jobs and Technology Precinct, which will find new ways to attract investment and retain profits for farmers here.” Dr Harrison said initial modelling from Pacific Heat and Power had shown strong potential for the project to support jobs, both from the investment and operation of the plant, and via additional revenue for farmers. “Due to the supply limitations of the energy grid, we have energy-intensive industries that have to carefully consider expansion because they can’t secure a stable or cost-effective energy supply,” he said.

Housing shortage at ‘crisis’ level A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera service provider is calling on regional leaders to unite to address a social and affordable housing shortage in the region following a State Government ‘investment shortfall’.

Uniting Wimmera executive officer Josh Koenig said community service providers and Wimmera councils needed to ‘step up’ in advocacy to address a housing ‘crisis’. His comments came after the State Government announced it was ‘ramping up’ a social-housing build for 1000 homes to address growing homelessness across Victoria. As part of the $209-million Building Homes to Fight Homelessness program, 25 are either awaiting council approval or under construction in the Wimmera. There are 70 in the Mallee. Mr Koenig said he welcomed any

investment into social housing, but it was common for the Wimmera to miss out on major State Government allocations. “The Wimmera seems to cop the rough end of the stick when funding is allocated,” he said. “We’d ideally like more houses because the amount of people in need is growing daily. We must keep up with that demand.” Mr Koenig said the Wimmera was often overlooked because it was competing with regional areas with higher populations. “It is frustrating for service providers out here,” he said. He said Uniting Wimmera was in an early planning phase with Grampians Community Health, GCH, to launch a regional advocacy group that included councils and community service groups.

“Maybe we’re not advocating as hard as we can here. As a collective, we really need to step it up,” he said. Mr Koenig said lengthy council planning approvals for projects that sometimes resulted in rejected permits compounded the issue. “We’re always screaming out for new properties – when these investments and opportunities come knocking, a council or whoever the planning authority is needs to get on the front foot and accept it,” he said. As part of the program, the government will build 14 new homes in Ararat, including two and three-bedroom units. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the program provided a much-needed investment that would take pressure off publichousing waiting lists. “While poverty and homeless-

ness might not seem as prevalent in our community, it is important we ensure everyone has access to a home they can afford,” he said. Dr Harrison said a council priority was to gain government support to help solve a ‘more significant issue’ of building houses for workers. “With near full employment in Ararat and businesses crying out for people to fill jobs available, we need support now to rapidly speed up housing construction,” he said. The State Government is also investing $15-million into Horsham as part of its $5.3-billion Big Housing Build program. The government has spent $750,000 on two properties in Horsham since the program started late last year. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said the council would advocate for future State Government allocations to ad-

Project plan From page 1 “What this project does is turns a major impediment for industry into a competitive advantage,” Dr Harrison said. “The straw-fired power plant provides an opportunity to effectively secure energy and renewable gas for use by local industry, including potentially in a ‘behind-the-meter’ arrangement, reducing utility bills well below the market rate.” Biochar, which returns nutrients and minerals to soils to improve agricultural productivity while locking carbon away as part of a circular economy strategy, is also a project consideration. Dr Grierson stressed again that while the project was an Australian first, the technology had been proven in other parts of the world as an effective way to recover energy from waste. “The Grampians Gas project creates an opportunity to bring scalable cereal straw technology to Australia for the first time,” he said. “This enables us to turn agricultural residues into energy and value-added products that will increase competition in the energy market, diversify farm incomes and improve soil productivity while reducing carbon emissions.” Dr Harrison said people keen to attend the forum could RSVP to business@ararat.vic.gov.au or by phoning 5355 0264. He said people could find out more about the project and register an expression of interest to supply cereal straw online at www.grampiansgas.com.au.

dress demand for social and affordable housing. “We need to make sure we meet the diversity of needs of our community,” she said. “It’s our key role to be advocating for the equity our residents deserve, which is the same standard and level of services as everyone else in the state and in the country.” Cr Gulline echoed Dr Harrison’s comments about a need to provide housing for skilled professionals. “We have so many jobs available at the moment. Every business I speak to says they have significant vacancies, and they can’t get the staff,” she said. “For those who do look at these positions, they come to town and find there is no accommodation. “There’s plenty of land available for development, but we just can’t build the houses fast enough.”

Performers considering a role in Horsham Arts Council’s latest production can attend a virtual information session tomorrow night. Following the success of a Disney showcase last month, the council will present High School Musical in Horsham Town Hall in October. Director Loucas Vettos encouraged people interested in learning more about the show to tune into the HAC – Horsham Arts Council Facebook page from 7pm tomorrow night. The session will include information about the audition process, which runs from April 30 to May 2. The Disney musical, based on the movie of the same name, centres on a blossoming relationship between high-school jock Troy and Gabriella, the new smart girl at school. It is known for its catchy songs, dance routines and launching the career of Zac Efron. “The arts council has made a name for itself for high-quality performances and we’re looking forward to continuing that,” Mr Vettos said. “We’re also excited that this is a younger show, which means we can bring in some new talent.” Mr Vettos said people who were unable to watch the session could message the Facebook page for an information pack. People who are unavailable during the audition weekend can also message the page for an alternative option. – Sarah Matthews

PUBLIC NOTICES 21 April 2021

New gravel road sealer Councillor Column Cr Penny Flynn Like many of you, my weekdays are busy with work, Council, exercise, appointments and social events. So I love Saturday mornings when I get a chance to park the car and walk throughout the city to do some shopping and buy a coffee. It’s lovely seeing people out and about, hearing what has been happening. Currently Council has proposed a new Parking Management Plan. This plan is about ensuring car parking within our city is accessible and time limits are easy to interpret. We all use the car parking in the city for different reasons. You might be a visitor here for an appointment, a local coming into town for shopping or working within the CBD.

Pictured: road works being carried out in Brimpaen, December 2020. Photo A Sedgman Horsham Rural City Council is hoping a new gravel sealing product being trialled at Lower Norton could lead to significant improvements in the condition of rural roads.

Mr Shrestha is anticipating the same positive results as in Narrandera, where the road surface has outlasted traditional and more expensive pavement methods.

Krishna Shrestha, the Manager Strategic Asset Management at Horsham Rural City Council, is a civil engineer who has piloted successful trials of ‘Otta Seals’ at Narrandera Shire Council in New South Wales.

“We learnt that the varying sizes of rock protected the bitumen from direct solar radiation and associated oxidation and embrittlement. Because graded aggregate is used on sealing, there is also greater flexibility and therefore longevity,” he said.

Relatively unknown in Australia, Otta seals are a cost-efficient road treatment best suited for rural roads where traffic volumes are less than 200 vehicles per day. Put simply, graded gravel/crushed rock is placed on a relatively thick film of soft bitumen, and then rolled. Initially, the surface does not look dissimilar to a typical gravel road, but over time, the bitumen works its way upwards through the aggregate and turns into a smooth, interlocked bituminous mix. The name ‘Otta’ comes from Otta Valley in Norway, where the Norwegian Road Research Laboratory developed the treatment. Now Otta Seals, re-adapted for Australian conditions, are being put to the test south of Horsham at Plush Hannans Road.

There is still time to be involved in Council's strategic planning project Horsham Rural City Talks, by holding a Community Conversation. The Conversation Kit can be downloaded from

HRCC is responsible for inspecting, maintaining and repairing 1,059 kilometres of sealed roads.

That’s because constantly regravelling unsealed roads is becoming an unsustainable and increasingly costly exercise. “Recent financial analysis suggests that Otta Sealing an existing unsealed road will reduce the lifecycle cost by half as the need for continuous resheeting will be curtailed.” “If we can upgrade many of our gravel roads to sealed roads using this new method, it will help us minimise the maintenance costs over the longer term,” Mr Shrestha said.

Council would like to thank residents who registered to be a part of the 40-person Community Panel that will guide the development of the 20-year Community Vision for our municipality.

Platypus rescue plan starts on high

platypus conservation breakfast at Wartook today will workshop ideas on expanding and ensuring the long-term survival of the Wimmera’s fragile platypus population. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority and Laharum Landcare group invited the community to the event to discuss platypus-recovery activities as part of live surveys and eDNA sampling that started on Monday. The breakfast workshop came after early survey results reconfirmed the

presence of platypus in MacKenzie River in the northern Grampians. Researchers captured a male on Monday night, which they had first caught as a juvenile in September 2019 and had now grown into an adult. After listing the species as threatened and vulnerable in January, the State Government announced an initial cash injection of $250,000 for immediate restoration works at key habitat sites across Victoria. It announced a further $50,000 to develop a long-term action plan to ensure the future of the unique mammal.

Previous surveys of a Wimmera platypus population were in spring 2019, with last year’s monitoring postponed due to COVID. The authority has been studying platypus in the MacKenzie River for 20 years. For the past 12 months the Wimmera’s environmental watering program has focused on where the platypuses are breeding. CMA water planning and policy officer Greg Fletcher said the authority was exploring increased monitoring and translocation among ways to secure the long-term survival of platypus in the Wimmera.

“The work we’ve been doing to date with environmental watering has been having a positive impact and this population is growing, but if we want to see platypus move into other parts of the Wimmera River system we need to do more,” he said. Wildlife ecologist Josh Griffiths, who has studied the Wimmera population since 2009, said he was excited to be checking in. “If we want platypus in the Wimmera catchment in 100 years’ time we can’t just rely on this localised, small population in the MacKenzie River,” he said.

“We hope they’ll grow and start dispersing into the Wimmera River itself and we need to consider all options available to help facilitate that.” Mr Griffiths said platypus monitoring and long-term planning had provided crucial data for the formal recognition of platypus as a threatened species. The Wimmera was also the first area to trial eDNA sampling for platypus in 2014. The sampling has become an important monitoring tool for a variety of species.

Mental-health centre part of discussions

Ararat sets eisteddfod template Ararat performing arts leaders are confident a week-long dance competition in the rural city will be a solid template for a main event later this year. More than 220 young performers from across Victoria competed in an Ararat Eisteddfod mini competition at the city’s performing arts centre last week. The eisteddfod committee planned an itinerary for the newly established competition after the cancellation of the main event last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event showcases performance skills in sections such as jazz, tap, contemporary and classical ballet. Committee secretary Chris Harris said the event was ‘highly successful’ and a much needed return to dance competitions for performers. “I went home on a high the first night after seeing all

the smiles on the performers’ faces. The first day was just as great as the last day,” she said. “Everyone was over the moon because they waited so long to get back on stage. To have an event where they can get back on stage is great.” Following COVID-safe protocols, the performing arts centre could host 75 percent of its capacity. Mrs Harris said she hoped they could increase to full capacity for the September event. “Everyone kept asking us if we were going to run our September eisteddfod, and we hope to,” she said. “Restricting the numbers due to COVID gave us a chance to test our procedures to take on increased numbers if we can in September. “We’ll just have to see what happens between now and then.” – Dylan De Jong

Eat Sunday and WIN!

A push for a Wimmera mental-health crisis centre was part of discussions at a meeting between leading regional advocates in Horsham yesterday. The meeting was primarily to discuss mental-health advocacy prospects in the region in the wake of the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System and the proposed mental-health centre was on the agenda. Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership organised the meeting, which included health-industry representatives as well as community advocates and leaders. Regional partnership deputy chair Dr Cathy Tischler of Horsham said there was a clear need to address mental-health issues in the Wimmera and southern Mallee. “This meeting was about assessing a way forward in dealing with this complicated and difficult problem,” she said. An advocacy group launched a renewed push for a 24-hour regional public mental-health centre in Horsham last month. The group believes Royal Commission recommendations ‘opened the door’ for a Wimmera claim to become a western Victorian mentalhealth base. Dr Tischler, who has a doctorate in regional development and social science, said success in gaining government backing for an Orange Door Wimmera hub to deal with the fallout of domestic violence had provided momentum for exploration into broader connective opportunities. “There appears to be an opportunity to push for a Wimmera stake in this and our job as advocates for

our region is to explore where we might fit into the statewide picture,” she said. “I am one of the many people confident we qualify based on an interpretation of the recommendations, but we must do our bit at a grass-roots level to ensure we tick all the boxes. “To have a profound mental-health centre for Wimmera communities that covers off on being able to immediately help people would have a far-reaching effect on the overall health and wellbeing of the region. “I’m personally keen for the Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership to discuss and debate this at length. “It’s about considering our next priority in the community-health space and this appears to fit in neatly with progressive planning. “What we must ensure, is that if there is an opportunity presenting itself, we don’t miss it.” Healthy Minds Horsham and regional Rotary clubs formed a united front in 2019 to tackle a ‘serious mental-health-service gap’ in the region. Healthy Minds Horsham spokesman Gavin Morrow said last month there remained a ‘blatant’ need to get the formula right. “That means pursuing what needs to happen for our region to get something tangible,” he said. Mr Morrow feared that while it seemed obvious Horsham represented a central point for a vast region, there was a danger it would be overlooked based on a bureaucratic geographical analysis. – Dean Lawson

Let’s back ourselves and get moving

here is a profound regional message amid a probe into the potential of Ararat becoming the foundation centre in a national push into bioenergy. It goes something like, ‘avoid waiting for others to do something when you can do it yourself’. Or to use another expression popularised by Benjamin Franklin, ‘God helps those who help themselves’. Ararat Rural City Council is working with renewable-energy group Pacific Heat and Power on a landmark and large-scale Grampians Gas plant project to turn agricultural waste stubble and straw into energy. It is potentially a $200-million exercise that if it becomes a reality could dramatically change socio-economic fortunes of Ararat and the broader region. Apologies for the cliché, but in promoting a forum at Ararat’s Alexandra Oval Community Centre this Tuesday, Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison ‘hit the nail on the head’.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

He said the project catalyst had been agribusinesses calling for governments to take the lead on ways to recover energy from farm waste. He said, “Rather than wait for government to catch up on finding ways to address our economic and environmental challenges, we’ve reached out to industry for a solution.” Well said, Dr Harrison. While we obviously rely heavily on state and federal governments for broad support, safety nets and an attentive ear, the reality is we in the region must instigate our own economic gear shifts. Developing something new from scratch is the ideal, but the philosophy also draws on a value-adding concept manual.

We know we have assets and industry that have kept our region ticking along, albeit at a pedestrian pace. But it takes the spark of a new idea or identifying something previously out-of-reach to turn a walk into a gallop. The Ararat project also turns a perceived negative into a positive. Electricity-supply limitations hinder energy-intensive industries from expanding and the bioenergy project swaps ‘impediment’ for ‘competitive advantage’. As Dr Harrison pointed out, the project provided an opportunity to secure energy and renewable gas for use by home-town industry. This included ‘behind-the-meter’ arrangements and accompanying energy cost reductions that loom as regional game-changers. Government support is often essential, especially in our part of the world. But the real winners come when government coffers provide only the cream for a cake already baked and out of the oven. It can be tough, but we must be willing to have faith and back ourselves.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Keep the heart beating

SIR, – We write in regards to a proposed merger between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services. We feel a merger will not bring about what Wimmera health services really do need – to plan for a new larger Wimmera Base Hospital fitted with latest technology designed to comply with COVID-safe regulations and to provide for all Wimmera and southern Mallee regional communities. This would relieve the pressure from Ballarat Health Services and save people from Horsham and surrounding districts from having to travel the Western Highway, classified as the most dangerous highway in Victoria. The community needs to begin fundraising and lobbying state and federal governments for grants to make this happen. Wimmera people have proven in the past they are great at making things happen by working together. We are strong, we are the heart of the Wimmera and we must keep the heart beating and fight for the best outcome for all health services statewide. Elaine and Robert Cameron, Haven

Legal ramifications

SIR, – What are the legal ramifications if an AFL player receives a head knock and then tries to exceed his or her authority in convincing a doctor and umpires that they can continue playing?

A Horsham Golf Club leader has used the acquisition of a new $55,000 pump system as an example of the profound impact community backing has had on the club. Club manager Darryl McCrae said the club’s ability to invest in the ‘much-needed’ upgrade was a direct result of a dramatic improvement of circumstances fuelled by community support. “The financial turnaround during the past 18 months has put the club in a great position to look forward to the next 10-plus years. It has meant we can start reinvesting back into the club, such as getting the new pumps and a new greens mower,” he said. “We’ve been able to do this basically from the support and momentum generated by Horsham and broader community when we were desperate for help.” Mr McCrae said the club had been in dire need to replace pumps for its expansive watering system that taps into readily available treated supply. “We have battled for the past 12 months

with our old system. Two of the three pumps had died and the one remaining pump had left us with a limited volume of water for the course,” he said. “Our course superintendent Ayden Roberts worked considerable hours keeping the course in magnificent condition. This will take the pressure off him considerably and he’s pretty happy.” Mr McCrae said the investment was about ensuring the course had an ongoing supply of water and the club could provide an environment that reflected the extensive community support an appeal for help generated. A community effort in late 2018, strongly backed by ACE Radio, raised $300,000 needed to rescue the club from a financial crisis. ACE Radio Broadcasters, through The Weekly Advertiser, 3WM and MIXX FM, joined money-raising efforts based on recognition of the importance of the club and its iconic course to Horsham district’s socio-economic health and prosperity.

Horsham set for motocross titles H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham’s population is set to swell this weekend as hundreds of motocross riders, support teams and enthusiasts gather in the Wimmera centre for the launch of a state championship series.

Horsham Motorcycle Club spokesman Kenny Watts said expectation was that the opening round of Senior Victorian Motocross Championships at Dooen would attract a significant influx of people. “This is the biggest event for our club for the year and everyone in the industry, not just us, is pumped for the event,” he said. “We suspect accommodation opportunities would be filling quickly and hospitality businesses to be busy during the weekend. Horsham will see a significant influx of people on Friday.” The championships are on Saturday and Sunday, culminating with MX 1 racing, for over 250cc riders and machines, and MX 2, under 250cc, in A, B and C grades on Sunday. Saturday racing will feature a broad range of events from women and veteran classes to all-power races. “People can expect to see some of the best MX riders in Australia and potentially the world in action,” Mr Watts said. “There will be riders, their teams and supporters in attendance as well as local fans. We will have about 300 senior riders, from across Australia, hoping to set early benchmarks in the four-round series. “It was meant to originally happen in 2020 and it is a great coup for Horsham.

“We suspect accommodation opportunities would be filling quickly and hospitality businesses to be busy during the weekend. Horsham will see a significant influx of people on Friday”

“Only four clubs are given privilege to run it each year. “Horsham and the Wimmera generally should make the most of the high-quality racing spectacle. “We don’t usually have the luxury of seeing this calibre of riders in action.” Mr Watts said a major highlight would be the appearance of Ararat export and international rider Lewis Stewart among competitors. “He’s a multiple European and Asian motocross champion and he’s back in Australia. He had moved to Indonesia where he became a motocross identity and gained a significant international reputation,” he said. “It’s fantastic he will be riding in Horsham.” Mr Watts said the club hoped people made the most of spectators being admitted free of charge at Dooen. “COVID-19 rules will be in place and we’re hoping a big crowd turns out to see the action,” he said. The championships will move to Rosebud on May 22 and 23 for the second round and then Cobram, July 17 and 18 and Traralgon, August 28 and 29.

Open doors at table tennis centre Horsham Table Tennis Association is keen for more groups, organisations and individuals to make the most of its revamped community centre. Association vice-president Jeff Pekin said while the new headquarters was designed to provide a home for table tennis in the region, it was also available to hire. He said the easing of COVID-19 restrictions meant there were more opportunities for indoor events and activities and the former Italian clubrooms, originally the site of a Horsham butter factory, was appropriate for a variety of uses. “We really want to get more people engaged in the centre and for it to be used as much as possible. It is a great facility that we obviously use for table tennis competition, but the scope for use goes well beyond that,” he said.

In a business world where the dollar has to go as far as possible to generate success, decisions, including how to best tap into energy, must also make financial sense. Being able to turn the lights on and generate the activity needed to stimulate business vibrancy while helping with the ‘bottom line’ represents a win in any entrepreneurial language. Chris Jones from Jones Mitre 10 in Horsham was one Wimmera business operator keen to see how he could maximise copious amounts of sunlight, extensive roof space and a generous funding scheme to make it work for his McPherson Street operation.

It’s not only taken the sting out of the power bill, but also putting us financially in front with power use,” he said. “From my perspective the big part of the program is that I don’t have to own the solar system – the landlord does – and the next tenant takes it on. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”

Auxiliary ‘back in swing of things’ W

“We think it’s very important to support the city’s businesses and we have organised some very generous bundles”

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera Hospice Care Auxiliary leaders are busy organising two major fundraising events in lieu of an annual Mother’s Day lunch.

President Lea Crammond said the auxiliary committee had decided to hold off on the lunch – a popular event on the organisation’s social calendar – due to COVID-19 regulations. “With COVID restrictions we are unsure about how much space we need to have around people, so we decided to forgo the lunch again this year,” she said. “Instead, we will be launching a major raffle at the end of next month.” Mrs Crammond said tickets would go on sale from March 31, with winners drawn at the end of July. “We have $3000 worth of prizes, which are all vouchers to use at local businesses,” she said. “We think it’s very important to support the city’s businesses and we have organised some very generous bundles. We hope to sell plenty of tickets for such a good cause.” Tickets will go on sale at Horsham Plaza and through auxiliary members. Mrs Crammond also encouraged Wimmera people to ‘save the date’ for an open garden day on October 31. “Seven gardens in Haven are going to open up to us on the day – we’re calling it ‘The Gardens of Haven’,” she said. “Included in the ticket price will be afternoon tea at the Haven Hall. We will also have a table of plants for people to purchase. “I know it’s a fair way away, but October and November fill up quickly and I encourage people to save the date now. “It’s going to be a wonderful day and we have seven fabulous gardens for people to experience. “Because it is outdoors and in several locations, we will still be able to make the event COVID-safe, even if restrictions change.”

– Lea Crammond

Mrs Crammond said she hoped people would support both fundraisers, which provided vital funding to help the region’s palliative care patients. The auxiliary buys equipment to help Wimmera Hospice Care clients be more comfortable in their homes, aged-care centres or in hospital. Mrs Crammond said auxiliary members were thrilled to be able to continue supporting Wimmera Hospice Care throughout the pandemic. “We couldn’t meet in person but we didn’t drop the ball. There was still stuff to do and the executive members stayed in touch all the time,” she said. “Even though we were unable to fundraise, the committee has trebled its commitment throughout COVID – there was a big demand on equipment with so many people staying at home. “We were able to keep up with the demand thanks to our careful management and preparation, with money put aside for a rainy day. “The girls are pretty chuffed about that. “But it’s time to fundraise again now, so we are back into the swing of things.” The auxiliary also paid to refurbish a short-stay room in Wimmera Base Hospital’s Oxley ward. “We replaced what was there with purpose-built, hospital furniture,” she said. “It was last refurbished in 2005, so it was time. It is very important the patients and the family members using room 18 are comfortable in what is such a difficult time. “We’re very proud of the result.” Mrs Crammond said more details about the upcoming raffle and Haven garden day would be available in upcoming editions of The Weekly Advertiser.

Forgotten Australians call Horsham branch of Forgotten Australians has again called for people who experienced trauma while growing up in children’s homes or orphanages from 1930 to 1990 to become part of the organisation. Horsham branch member Phillip Chalker said Forgotten Australians provided solidarity and support for each other and pushed for greater acknowledgment of hardships children endured. “There are many worthy causes and issues that gain regular media attention, but people who were traumatised in what were some terrible places are often forgotten. That’s why we’re called the Forgotten Aus-

tralians,” he said. Mr Chalker said as a member of Forgotten Australians he had suffered various forms of abuse from the age of five to 17. “Forgotten Australians were children of all races and nationalities. What happened was dreadful, but it was the way the Australian government in the past treated kids taken from or without families,” he said. Mr Chalker said the Aboriginal Stolen Generation, people who were British child migrants or others who grew up in traumatic foster homes were part of Forgotten Australians. He made a similar call for more members to come forward and join the Wimmera

group, which meets monthly in Horsham. “There is support in place to help people and the Forgotten Australians group can point them in the right direction,” he said. “We’re open for anyone from Horsham, Stawell, Ararat, Nhill and Warracknabeal districts – anywhere in the broader region.” Mr Chalker encouraged people to get in touch with Open Place, a support service for Forgotten Australians, by calling 1800 779 379 or visiting website openplace.org.au. He said people could also call him on 0428 173 606 or 0458 727 370.

Shire Vision 2041 A Shire Vision 2041 plan will direct Northern Grampians Shire Council decisions for the next 20 years. The council adopted Shire Vision 2041 at its latest general meeting. Local Government Act 2020 requires the council to adopt a minimum 10-year community vision for the shire. Shire Vision 2041 identifies and sets the community’s priorities. The council will use it as a guide for strategic planning and decision-making through the development of a Council Plan 2021-25 and in each successive four-year council plan until 2041. The document is oriented towards the innovation and continuous improvement of the council and Northern Grampians Shire community.

Architect for campus The State Government has appointed an architect to design upgraded facilities at Horsham Primary School’s Rasmussen Road campus. JMA Architects has won the contract for the $500,000 project, which involves upgrading an administration building and covered outdoor learning space. Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford announced the architect appointment. “Horsham families are a step closer to getting the great local school facilities their kids need to thrive,” she said. A $22,120 upgrade project has started at Jeparit Primary School. The project involves work to a retaining wall and student playground seating.

St Arnaud entrance signs

St Arnaud is set to have six new entrance signs to the town after council approval of a final design. The Northern Grampians Shire Council tick of approval means the project can progress to a construction stage. The entrance-sign project is a result of a 2020-30 St Arnaud Community Plan. The council engaged a commercial designer to produce signs that would encompass aspects of the town’s history and be welcoming as visitors entered the town. The project included community engagement, and feedback to a survey provided direction for the final design.

Regional leaders breakfast Barry McGookin from Food Innovation Australia and Regional Development Australia Grampians chair Stuart Benjamin will be guest speakers at a breakfast for regional leaders tomorrow.

Dinner guests dig deep

big night of entertainment, good cheer and money-raising opened the door for Blue Ribbon Foundation’s Horsham branch to reach its $30,000 target to buy critical medical equipment for Wimmera Base Hospital.

Guests packed out Horsham Golf Club for a gala dinner that had the dual purpose of acknowledging police officers who had fallen in the line of duty and raising money for a new neonatal resuscitation unit. Many arrived at the event in classic cars provided by Wimmera Mallee Historical Vehicle Society before mingling to the music of Aaron Murray and then sitting down to a three-course meal. Adam Roche from radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM was master of ceremony for the event. Highlights of the night included an ACE live auction of a variety of goods hosted by Rob Dolan, a show from comedy hypnotist Andy Venning presented by Harvey Norman Horsham, a Skillinvest Bubbles for Bling champagne raffle, an Elders’ Night Cap Experience and a special $10,000 presentation from Horsham Toyota’s Adrian Galvin. Victoria Police Western Region Assistant Commissioner Cindy Millen, who joined other Wimmera police members and their families at the event, was the night’s guest speaker. She provided compelling personal insight into how police officers had to deal with a cross-over between private and professional life.

ARRIVE IN STYLE: Guests Kristyn Dolan, left, and Deb Bunworth step out of a classic car on their arrival to the Horsham Blue Ribbon gala dinner. Organisers had originally scheduled the dinner for February 13 but had to postpone the event due to COVID-19 restrictions. Event spokesperson Kelly Schilling, who with Vanessa O’Loughlin led organisational responsibilities, said the dinner ‘easily’ met expectations. “It was a wonderful night. We had a really broad cross-section of enthusiastic people attending and everyone I spoke to had a great time,” she said. “Importantly, we covered off on the most

important things motivating our efforts – acknowledging the effort and sacrifice of our police officers and raising money for important medical equipment. “We thank everyone involved, from our tremendous sponsors and volunteers to our guests and all who embraced the spirit of the occasion. It was great fun and well worth it.” Ms Schilling said the branch was already planning for other events, including next year’s annual dinner.

ANZAC DAY SERVICES Day to recapture community spirit

it’s that we must refocus on what’s important. “Anzac Day is really precious and I think we’ll be surprised to see how many people come out to commemorate the day on Sunday.” Cr Gulline said the return of physical services would be particularly important for veterans. “Our veterans, who are in the older age group, would have struggled in the past 12 months with socialisation,” she said. “To get back together, especially for Anzac Day, is incredibly important.”

immera leaders hope a return to traditional Anzac Day services will allow residents across the region to reunite in person to pay their respects.

This year, RSL service clubs across Victoria were uncertain about whether to plan ahead for the day due to ongoing changes to COVID-19 restrictions. Despite uncertainty, many pushed forward with plans, including service clubs across the Wimmera-Mallee. Horsham RSL senior president Don Pirouet said it would be ‘crucial’ Wimmera communities had an opportunity to take part in a normal service again after it was missed last year due to the pandemic. “It’s hard to compare the atmosphere of a traditional Anzac Day to what we did last year,” he said. Last year, Wimmera residents joined a nation-wide campaign to stand in their driveway while a bugler played the Last Post in major towns and cities. This year, the Horsham ceremony, the largest in the Wimmera, will be a tier-three event, allowing up to 5000 people to attend. Mr Pirouet said the capacity of the event would contribute to the Anzac Day atmosphere many people were missing from last year’s virtual commemorations. He said he expected up

CHANCE TO REFLECT: Horsham RSL senior president Don Pirouet and Horsham Rural City Council mayor Robyn Gulline are ‘honoured’ to take part in a traditional Anzac Day service planned for Sunday. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER to 1500 people would attend a dawn service at 6.15am on Sunday. “To actually have a live event at the cenotaph will be quite surreal,” he said. “To have the day in a traditional fashion is a rite of passage. To reflect on past events and think about those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we

can comfortably live here in Australia is crucial. “It will be a COVID-safe event with social distancing where possible. “We promote the use of a mask where social distancing isn’t possible.” Horsham Mayor Robyn Gulline said the return of traditional commemorative services was timely for Wimmera

communities ‘desperate to get back to normal life’ following COVID-19 lockdowns last year. “I’m very pleased to see it get back to normal so we can acknowledge our returned servicemen and women and the contribution they have made to the society we now live in,” she said. “If COVID has taught us anything,

Input a must for transmission plan

he team in charge of developing a project to unlock renewable-energy and potentially billions of dollars in development has stressed that community input was a key part of planning.

Project executive director Stephanie McGregor said a requirement of planning into Western Victorian Transmission Network Project was investigating broad community, industry and landowner concerns. “As part of the Environmental Effects Statement assessment process required for the project, we are conducting detailed investigations via independent experts that will look at the concerns of landowners and the wider community, including farming practices and a range of land-use impacts,” she said. “We are in the early stages of the EES process and there is still a lot of work ahead, including engaging with farming businesses to best understand how they use their land, and the regional agricultural industry. “There will be many opportunities for landowners and the community to have meaningful input into the EES process and we’ve welcomed the willingness of some farmers to share details of their operations at this early stage.” AusNet Services is in charge the project, which involves scoping out what is needed to establish powerline infrastructure to carry high volumes of renewable energy from the west of the state to Melbourne.

Inadequate

Opportunities to tap into electricity generated in the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District, identified for their solar, wind and biofuel potential, are limited by outdated and inadequate powerlines. It is a pressing issue Wimmera development leaders taking inquiries from companies keen to

establish renewable-energy farms in the region have long identified. They are confident that opening the door for greater renewable-energy generation in the region represents a potential ‘game changer’ for socio-economic growth. But the project, which would involve a major access corridor between Bulgana near Great Western to Sydenham and involve giant towers, has attracted a heated and passionate outcry from many people near Ballarat and Melbourne’s west. Objections grew after AusNet Services announced in February, in response to primary assessments, corridor options it had narrowed down for further investigation and community consultation. AusNet Services plans to narrow a route to a single corridor by mid 2021, where it and project considerations will be subject to further analysis. These include specific environmental effects including biodiversity and habitat, cultural heritage, landscape and visual, land use including agricultural practices, socio-economic issues, community, health and safety, roads and transport, catchment values and hydrology. Wimmera Development Association chief executive Chris Sounness, meanwhile, said he understood the many concerns of landowners whose properties might fall into a proposed corridor. “As with all development projects there must be a driving motivation that ensures the overall outcome heavily outweighs the negatives,” he said. “And this means people directly impacted by this development not only have input in the final project but are recognised in the broader picture. “Overall, this project is going to happen in some form, which will be massive for the Wimmera and southern Mallee. A key will be to minimise the impact on individuals for the benefit of the region, state and nation.”

U3A concerns for elderly Horsham and District University of the Third Age leaders are concerned some people in the region remain frightened about COVID-19 and are avoiding social gatherings and activities. Horsham U3A spokesman Rick Walker said encouraging retirees and semi-retirees to ‘re-engage’ in Horsham district activities after the easing of restrictions had been challenging. “We’ve gone from 320 members to now less than 200 and we’re struggling to get people out and about and involved,” he said. “There remains a high element of concern and many are still unwilling to leave the security of their homes. Some dedicated churchgoers are not yet even going back to church. “It is very worrying considering the health benefits, social experiences and activities that U3A provides.” Horsham U3A started in 1988 and has its headquarters in Horsham Railway Station in

Railway Avenue in Horsham. It has annual membership drives and based on volunteers and tutors, provides more than 30 courses and activities that cover subjects such as art and craft, exercise, games, history, science, computers and languages. Ararat and District U3A, meanwhile, has reported 20 new members and ‘healthy’ numbers to its term-one activities. U3A membership is open to anyone who is retired or no longer working full time. No qualifications are required to join. Courses are non-competitive, without marks or exams and focus on helping members expand their knowledge and to explore new fields and activities.

Stawell plans approved Planning documents that lay foundations for development planning in Stawell have official council approval. Northern Grampians Shire Council adopted its final Stawell Structure Plan and an Urban Design Framework for the Western Highway Precinct of Stawell at its latest meeting. The plans are part of a Stawell Town Plan project that started in March 2019. The structure plan is designed to guide Stawell’s future land use and development and the Urban Design Framework to enhance the city’s gateway. Preparation of both documents ran parallel to ensure planning consistency and generate feasible outcomes.

The process involved discussion papers and a range of activities including online surveys, student art projects and virtual stakeholder workshops to gain community and stakeholder input, which in turn influenced the final documents. The overall plan is based on a concept to make Stawell a ‘more functional, attractive and enjoyable place for both visitors and locals’. Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson stressed on the cusp of the final planning stages in December last year that community input was crucial for the project’s longterm success. “This is a very exciting vision,” he said.

‘Significant step’ in reconciliation

BY DYLAN DE JONG

irst Nations people hope a council’s move to transfer a major rock formation near Stawell back to traditional owners will lead to greater protection of the landmark for future generations.

Northern Grampians Shire Council agreed to gift the site known as Sisters Rocks on the Western Highway near Stawell to the State Government at its April meeting. The State Government will decide the appropriate public body to identify future management and funding arrangements for the land. The council hopes the transfer will eventually lead to Barengi Gadjin Land Council, which oversees Aboriginal land rights in the Wimmera, taking management of the site. Land council acting chief executive Tim McCartney said the transfer would enable greater protection of the site that had been desecrated for more than 120 years. “This is something that has been on the agenda for a while and a topic of discussion with the shire for some time,” he said. “Now we will start to plan how we can use our resources to restore and protect that site.” The rock formation stands about 15 metres high and is almost completely covered in graffiti. The site is significant to the Wotjobaluk nations, having links to creation stories and connections with the wives of Bunjil – a creator in Wotjobaluk lore. Sisters Rocks was named after three Levi sisters, who arrived in Australia during the mid1800s gold rush. The sisters were among the area’s first European settlers. Mr McCartney said the land council recognised cleaning and protecting the site would be a major challenge.

“Desecration of the site has been the source of hurt and trauma for our people for a significant amount of time,” he said. “We need to investigate what the most appropriate measures are to clean the site, while maintaining and protecting it. It’s not going to be a small job – but it is one that will get done.” Mr McCartney said the council’s move to gift the site was a positive step. “It’s a really great decision by the council who is really interested in moving forward,” he said. “This is an action, not words. We are really happy with council for transferring this to the rightful custodians.” Mayor Murray Emerson said the council gifted the land with the assurance transfer of ownership would not affect a Western Highway duplication project between Ararat and Stawell. “It’s very important to us that it’s very carefully managed by traditional owners if and when it gets into their hands,” he said. “We made the point that it should be made accessible to all people and managed properly.” Cr Emerson said the council recognised there would likely be people in the Northern Grampians community who would not support or understand the decision. But he said the council believed this was the ‘right move’, supporting the aspirations of First Nations people to restore the cultural heritage values and protect the site from vandalism. “There is strong local attachment to the site that is linked to our own history and this decision has not been made lightly,” he said. “This is an in faith gesture for the reconciliation process that we have handed the public land of Sisters Rocks back to the State Government. We understand they might start a process to return the land back to the traditional owners.”

TOPPING UP: Victorian Fisheries Authority has targeted Toolondo Reservoir for a major Murray cod stocking program. The picture shows officers preparing to unload fingerlings for release at the lake.

Changes to cod fishing season A

nglers will be able to fish for Murray cod stocked in Wimmera waters at any time of the year after the removal of an annual three-month closed season for the fish.

Victorian Fisheries Authority, VFA, has removed the closed season for the native trophy fish from Wimmera and Millicent basins. The Wimmera River remains an exception to the change based on the potential of the fish being more likely to breed in the waterway than impoundments. The closed season for the river will be from September 1 to November 30. Authority chief executive Travis Dowling said extensive consultation had revealed strong support from recreational anglers to remove the closed season for Murray cod in the area. “The response through the VFA’s consultation of fishers was extremely positive and will have benefits for fishing and for regional tourism,” he said. “The Wimmera and Millicent basins are outside the natural range of Murray cod and thousands of fingerlings are stocked into waters each year, including the ever-improving fisheries at Rocklands Reservoir and Taylors Lake.” Murray cod are native to the Murray-Darling river system and populations outside their natural range are largely dependent on stocking programs. Mr Dowling said removing the closed season

would provide year-round fishing opportunities for the fish and boost businesses that depended on tourism. “Fishers flock to towns throughout the year to chase these iconic native fish. Creating more opportunities for Murray cod fishing also complements the State Government’s $35-million plan to get more people fishing, more often.” Mr Dowling said maintaining a closed season for the Wimmera River was to allow cod to ‘have a rest when they’re on the nest’, which was consistent with the authority’s ‘Care for Cod’ campaign. “Removing the closed season for cod at Lake Eildon in 2016 has proved a huge success and we’re confident this will have a similar effect on fisheries in the Wimmera such as Rocklands Reservoir, Lake Charlegrark and Taylors Lake,” he said. “Key recreational fishing bodies have come out in support of the change to closed-season regulations, including VRFish, who initiated the move. Native Fish Australia, Mid-Northern Angling Association and Wimmera Anglers Association have also strongly backed it.” VRFish chair Rob Loats said the move to open year-round Murray cod fishing in Wimmera and Millicent basins was an example of progressive and positive fisheries management, helping to ensure great fishing for years to come.

Poisonous fungi warning Victoria’s Deputy Chief Health Officer has warned people about the dangers of gathering wild mushrooms amid ideal growing conditions for the fungi. Dr Angie Bone said highly poisonous as well as edible mushrooms were growing across the state following widespread rain. “The recent conditions have been ideal for poisonous mushrooms, and recent rain has seen them start to sprout in metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria,” she said. “While commercially sold mushrooms are safe, poisonings can occur when people gathering wild mushrooms inadvertently include toxic species. Poisonous mushrooms might appear very similar to edible varieties.” Last year the combination of COVID-19 pandemic circumstances and an ideal growing season led to 426 calls, a record, about mushroom-poisoning incidents to Victoria’s Poisons Information Centre. The figure was more than double the number of calls in the previous two years, 194 calls in 2019 and 200 calls in 2018. There were also multiple poisoning cases requiring admission and treatment in an intensive-care unit. Victoria’s mushrooming season starts when rain encourages growth of the fungi in the still Page

warm earth. Toxic mushrooms include the Death Cap fungus, Amanita phalloides and the Yellow Staining mushroom, Agaricus xanthodermus. The Death Cap is a ‘large’ mushroom, with a cap ranging from light olive green to green-yellow in colour. The gills are white, and the base of the stem is surrounded by a cup-shaped sac. The common Yellow Staining mushroom turns yellow when the cap or stem is bruised. The Death Cap, the most dangerous variety, usually occurs near deciduous trees, especially oaks, in some rural areas. Dr Bone said anyone who became ill after eating mushrooms should seek urgent medical advice and, if possible, take samples of the whole mushroom for identification. “Symptoms of poisoning can include violent stomach pains, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Symptoms might subside after a day or two – but this doesn’t necessarily mean recovery in the case of Death Cap poisoning,” Dr Bone said. “Death can follow within 48 hours from serious liver damage. The Death Cap is extremely toxic and responsible for 90 percent of all mushroom-poisoning deaths. “If you have any doubts about a species of fungus or mushroom, don’t eat it.” Wednesday, April 21, 2021

Machines back on show BY DEAN LAWSON

immera-Mallee historic vehicle enthusiasts are back pencilling community events in their calendars after a successful Minyip Show and Shine car show.

Vehicle restoration is a popular hobby throughout the region and the Minyip event represented a major opportunity for people to show off their labours of love. Show and shine displays and competitions have become integral parts of many major community events and vehicle shows in their own right have generated dedicated followings, attracting people from across Victoria and interstate. Horsham historic-muscle-car enthusiast Rustin Chivell is among the many people who have spent untold hours on their projects. Many of the cars can start out as paddock wrecks and end up as highly valuable collectors’ items. Mr Chivell, a spare parts interpreter with Speakman’s Auto Electrical in Horsham, said he felt humbled to have won a people’s choice award at the Minyip event, considering the vast array of cars and motorcycles on display. “I was very lucky. It was quite a prestigious award,” he said. “I did a bit of a ‘Vitamin C’ display with oranges all around it to go with the orange colour of the car. “There was a great range, 230

Testing milestone An Ararat health service COVID-19 swab clinic has passed a milestone, tallying almost 4000 tests in 12 months of operation. East Grampians Health Service, EGHS, staff have obtained 3950 swabs in a year to March 31, which included tests from an asymptomatic blitz carried out earlier in the pandemic. Health service chief executive Andrew Freeman said the service had more than 60 staff trained to obtain a COVID-19 swab after the introduction of a training program early last year. “Staff included both clinical and administrative, which allowed our health service to continue to provide all other services required on a daily basis,” he said. “It has also meant EGHS was able to ramp up services when events such as the NSW border closure occurred at Christmas. “Congratulations to all staff involved in setting up and running these very important COVID-19 swab clinics.” Mr Freeman reminded the community to keep getting tested, even if symptoms were only minor. He said bookings for the swab clinic could be made by calling 5352 9532.

“This pastime is alive and well in the Wimmera.” Mr Chivell won the people’s choice with his 1971 Bathurst Chrysler RT Charger, completed with a 265 Hemi engine with Triple Weber carburettors, which he had originally restored 28 years ago. “It hadn’t been out of the shed

for 14 months due to COVID-19 and while I was working on the restoration of a 1974 VG Valiant Hardtop for my father’s 80th birthday.” The Minyip Show and Shine, in Minyip’s main street after being postponed from February, raised money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Construction has started on a new $425,000 bridge on Stawell-Warracknabeal Road near Rupanyup. The new bridge, part of the State Government’s $2.7-billion Building Works package, will replace an ageing structure. Minister and Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said crews would spend the next four weeks on the project. She said the work would ensure the bridge would be free of any weight limits and make journeys easier and safer for all road users, including truck drivers and machinery operators. “Safer, more stable bridges mean a secure and more stable future for western Victorian communities, including farmers and freight operators,” she said. Speed reductions and lane closures will be in place and traffic controllers will be on site while the work is underway. The work follows another Wimmera project, to widen a bridge on Natimuk-Frances Road.

VACCINATIONS now at The Wimmera Vaccination Clinic REVAMPED: Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong, left, and Ararat Visitor Information Centre visitor experience officer Jo Hutchison celebrate the centre’s relocation to Ararat Gallery. Picture: RACHEL DECKERT

Centre move to boost tourism A

rarat municipal leaders hope the reopening of a tourist information centre in the city’s central business district will increase visitor stays and enhance experiences.

Ararat Visitor Information Centre services have relocated to Ararat Gallery. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the move would help travellers gain information from ‘real people’ to link into authentic tourism experiences in Ararat region. “One of the key recommendations of the 2019 review into the ‘Future of Visitor Servicing in the Grampians Region’ recommended enhanced face-to-face servicing,” he said. “This will include directly greeting people on arrival and providing instant and personalised access to information about things to see and do, to help them plan their activities.” Dr Harrison said other Ararat businesses were also benefitting from the information centre’s new location. “The location is great – the banners outside are visible from all directions and drew visitors in from the main street,” he said. “People could easily get personalised information, food and use the facilities with the Forages café being adjacent to the gallery. “Many took the opportunity to browse Ararat Gallery itself. It’s a win overall.”

“As this model develops, we want to install interactive community dashboard screens that enable visitors to get real-time updates on available accommodation, food, wine and visitor experiences upon arrival”

Regardless of age, everyone has challenging moments – struggling through them together and coming out stronger is a part of living.” Melbourne-based actors Freya Patience, Caitlin, and Benjamin Nichol, Oscar, will star in the play, which promoters describe as ‘full of quick-witted dialogue that juxtaposes the tension and humour of two young people overcoming adult problems while growing up in outback Australia’. The performance will be on May 13 at 11am. Playwright Emily Sheehan will host a question and answer session after the show. Special pricing is available for student group bookings, with tickets at $12 a student. People can visit website ararattownhall.com. au or call 5355 0900 to book. Cr Armstrong said while COVID restrictions had largely lifted for seated indoor venues, measures were still in place to ensure the safety of staff and customers. The show is recommended for people aged 14 and older and contains sexual references, occasional coarse language and deals with sensitive themes.

Ararat theatre fans will have a chance to experience a ‘compelling’ performance of ‘evocative’ Australian drama Hell’s Canyon early next month. The play depicts the journey of Caitlin and Oscar, two teenagers who find the need to escape the world around them by running away together. Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said a list of performances at Ararat Town Hall this year meant there was something for everyone who wanted to experience art and culture. “We’re so fortunate to have a world-class venue in Ararat, where artists are lining up to come and perform,” she said. “Seated indoor venues are now at 100 percent capacity, meaning we can get back to enjoying theatre, comedy and live music at Ararat Town Hall. “Tickets have just gone on sale for our second major post-COVID show. “This is a great chance for students to see an award-winning and thought-provoking show written by a major up-and-coming Australian playwright. “I have no doubt that the story and themes in Hell’s Canyon will ring true with the audience.

Dr Harrison said a new visitor servicing model would continue to be expanded into new digital channels over the coming months. He said with the volume of travel blogs, phone apps and reviews online, all competing for the tourism dollar, the council needed to find new ways to engage people. “This can’t be achieved if we continue servicing visitors by simply investing in hubs for the dispersal of promotional pamphlets,” he said. “As this model develops, we want to install interactive community dashboard screens that enable visitors to get real-time updates on available accommodation, food, wine and visitor experiences upon arrival. “By partnering with local hospitality, accommodation, tourist attraction and transport operators, there’s an opportunity to supply visitors with tailor-made options to make the most of their stay.”

Pedalling for mental health R

BY DYLAN DE JONG

iding more than 1000 kilometres across Australia is part of Bendigo nurse Jess White’s plan to raise awareness and money for mental-health support programs.

Ms White passed through Horsham earlier this week after starting her journey in Robe on Saturday. She plans to end her ‘Solo 1000’ journey in Wilcannia in northwest New South Wales. Her goal is to raise $5000 for Royal Flying Doctor Service, which provides emergency and primary healthcare services for those living in rural, remote and regional areas of Australia. Mental health movement The Naked Farmer, co-founded by Wimmera farmer Ben Brooksby, inspired Ms White to launch her ride campaign. Mr Brooksby’s social media movement aims to break down conversational barriers around mental health. “I thought, I struggle with mental health too, so why not jump on board and raise money for a good cause that’s going to help rural and remote Australians,” Ms White said. “As a young teenager I was bullied to the point of depression – at that time, I contemplated suicide, but thankfully didn’t go through with it. “Early in my adulthood when I started working, I had a job with a rather nasty boss who bullied me, which sent me down a path of anxiety. “As a result, I didn’t like to talk to anyone in a higher position than I was in because it would trigger an anxiety attack.”

Council to waive permits Northern Grampians Shire Council has declared May 8 to 23 a fee-exemption period for open air permits to burn in the shire. People need a permit to burn materials on land zoned residential, commercial or industrial outside the declared fire danger period. The cost for a permit is usually $53. The council will only waive the fee if applicants carry out burning during the exemption period. The purpose of the fee exemption is to encourage residents to reduce fuel loads on properties to minimise the risk of fires in the next fire danger period. Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson said by reducing fire hazards now, the community could be well prepared for the next fire season. “By waiving the fee for these permits and encouraging people to get their properties in order now, we can reduce the risk of fire when the weather heats up,” he said. “Fire safety is a serious and important consideration for all property owners in our region so I encourage everyone, with or without the intention to burn-off, to get out and get their yards in order now so we all have one less thing to worry about down the track.” People will still need to apply for permits and the council has asked applicants to allow up to five working days for processing. A council community safety officer will need to inspect the property before issuing a permit, which contains set conditions. People can apply online at www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/Online-Forms/ Application-for-open-air-burning-per mit or call a customer-support team on 5358 8700 for more information.

Ms White said the ride challenge aimed to emulate what it was like to experience a mental-health issue. “The whole idea of the bike ride is that it is supposed to be long enough and hard enough that it simulates a mental-health battle,” she said. “There will be days where I won’t want to get on the bike, but I’ve got to. There will be days where I’ll cry, days where I might find it easier and days where I’m completely and utterly wrecked.”

Isolation

Ms White expects the ride to take 16 days, aiming to ride at least 70 kilometres each day. She said donations to her ‘Solo 1000’ campaign would contribute to Royal Flying Doctor Service’s work to overcome distance and isolation experienced by many people living in regional, rural and remote areas. “People in rural communities are twice as likely to suffer from mentalhealth issues as those in metropolitan areas, but they only access mentalhealth services at a fifth of the rate,” she said. “Part of that issue is because there’s a lack of knowledge of the services available and a lack of services. “Getting behind the Royal Flying Doctor Service and being able to give them money they need to provide mental-health support to our rural and remote Australians is a vital service we need to continue.” Ms White will travel to Warracknabeal and pass through towns including Hopetoun, Sea Lake and Patchewollock before moving into NSW. She is encouraging people to do-

Improved spaces for library-goers M

unicipal libraries across the Wimmera will receive funding under the latest round of the State Government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program.

Northern Grampians will receive $640,000 for its library in Stawell, Hindmarsh Shire Council $87,500 for Nhill and Ararat Rural City Council $67,538 for Ararat. In Stawell, the money will go towards modernising the library building and making it more accessible and welcoming, with improved lighting, flexible shelving, more space for computers and a public kitchenette. The building’s courtyard will undergo transformation into an outdoor space for library programs and activities, as well as use by community groups and businesses. At Nhill the funding will pay for an overall upgrade of the library building, making it a lighter and more welcoming space with more room for programs such as children’s storytime. Hindmarsh Shire Council leaders also hope to increase engagement with people from diverse backgrounds, including growing numbers of Karen people in the area. Ararat funding will go towards a more flexible

and welcoming layout for the library, with more space for study and quiet areas. Library leaders are aiming to boost programs such as children’s storytime and create opportunities for new events. Since 2015 the State Government has invested more than $32.5-million into 95 Living Libraries projects. The 2021 round of the program is the largest in its history, part of a $56.9-million commitment to libraries from the 2020-2021 Victorian Budget. Victoria is home to 276 permanent library branches, 31 mobile library services and 71 other library outlets, with more than 2.1-million library members registered in the state. Local Government Minister Shaun Leane said the program provided high-quality library facilities across the state, ensuring all Victorians had access to a public library. “Investments like this help create local jobs and ongoing employment opportunities. The Victorian government is investing in communities and local neighbourhoods because we understand the difference projects like these can make,” he said.

Council adopts waste action plan Meeting four objectives form the basis of a Northern Grampians Shire Council Waste Action Plan. The four objectives are: Improve resource recovery; community-focused waste management systems; adaptive infrastructure and operations and sustainable strategic planning. The council adopted the plan, which also

includes timeframes for each objective, at its latest meeting. The plan also provides an estimate on the capital and infrastructure spend for waste-management projects to comply with the Victorian Government Recycling Reform for the next 10 years.

Dedicated to wellbeing Ararat residents Max and Betty Schultz’s 20-year commitment to fitness has prompted municipal leaders to reward the couple with free access to a city gym. The husband and wife, who are members of Ararat Fitness Centre, have used the gym to keep active well into their retirement. Betty Schultz said the centre membership had helped the pair stay active as they aged. “Max and I have been members for more than 20 years – since the YMCA owned the centre,” she said. “We still attend twice a week on Mondays and Fridays to keep us active and healthier.”

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the free memberships were designed to recognise the couple’s long-term loyalty to the centre and their commitment to health. “As people progress through life, research shows there is also a steady decline in people’s physical activity,” he said. “Mr and Mrs Schultz oppose this trend and have continued to maintain their healthy lifestyle by using the facilities at Ararat Fitness Centre. “We want to encourage this lifestyle in our community and show the importance physical activity has on quality of life.

“The older you get the less you tend to move. Continuing to exercise has helped keep our mobility later in life.” Dr Harrison said the council was dedicated to promoting physical exercise in the community, especially throughout Get Active Victoria’s Active April program. “This month is Active April, which encourages the community to get out and do whatever physical activity they can for 30 minutes a day,” he said. People can visit website www.ararat.vic.gov.au for more information about Ararat Fitness Centre and community groups.

Changes for hunting season A

pilot aerial survey of game ducks in Victoria has revealed a higher than expected number of the birds across the state.

The survey found an estimated population of 2.5-million game ducks, more than other measuring methods have suggested. The finding means authorities can increase the sustainable harvest level for duck-hunting enthusiasts. Changes to 2021 duck-season arrangements include increasing a bag limit from two to five game ducks a day and removing a geographic restriction on hunting teal species. Other details for the 2021 season remain the same. The 2021 season will start on May 26 and last 20 days, closing 30 minutes after sunset on June 14. Hunting start times will be delayed until 8am for the first five days of the season from May 26 to May 30. The new monitoring method involved experienced wildlife consultants counting game ducks from a helicopter over 650 water bodies including wetlands and farm dams. The consultants also used satellite imagery to determine the amount of water in the landscape in correlation with duck numbers. Authorities had previously used an Eastern Australian Waterbird Survey for setting duck- season arrangements for nearly 40 years. But this method represented only estimates from a proportion of the total population. The new helicopter program is the largest and most comprehensive aerial survey

of game ducks in Victoria and the first time an accurate estimate of the total number of game ducks has been possible. Other surveys have provided an index of abundance showing trends over time rather than a total estimate. The survey occurred in November 2020 as a pilot study to test the effectiveness of a new monitoring program design. Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research evaluated the monitoring program and found it was an effective way of counting ducks to ensure duck-season arrangements remained sustainable. Authorities envisage the new monitoring program will provide information for adaptive harvest management and meet a key requirement in the State Government’s Sustainable Hunting Action Plan.

Monitoring conditions As in previous years, the state’s Game Management Authority will continue to monitor conditions in the lead up to and during the season. Where warranted, it might close wetlands to hunting to protect concentrations of rare threatened species. The authority and partner agencies, including Victoria Police, will be patrolling both public and private land to ensure compliance with hunting, animal welfare and public safety laws. • A readily accessible break-down of specific details regarding the number of ducks in the Wimmera-Mallee was unavailable.

Entertainment for patients Patients in East Grampians Health Service’s dialysis unit are benefitting from the donation of new televisions from Ararat Conference of St Vincent de Paul. The conference was bequested money from late Father Brendan Davey, who received dialysis treatment while a parish priest in Ararat.

Health service chief executive Andrew Freeman said the conference thought it was fitting to use the money to buy seven televisions for patients in the hospital’s dialysis unit. “Our dialysis patients undertake treatment three times a week and for four or five hours at a time, so having new, high-quality tele-

visions to help pass the time for them has been a wonderful addition to our unit,” he said. “Father Davey was a muchloved member of the Ararat community and also within EGHS when he was a patient here, and we are very grateful for this bequest, which will benefit our patients well into the future.”

Electric luxury Mercedes-Benz EQS most advanced model to date

ercedes-Benz has at last debuted its upcoming EQS electric limousine, with the first versions of the eco-friendly flagship due to arrive in Australia in December.

Initially set to be offered in 450+ and 580 4Matic guises, the EQS is the first all-electric model from Mercedes to be underpinned by a new bespoke modular architecture designed specifically for luxury and executive-class electric vehicles. Measuring 5216mm long, 1926mm wide and 1512mm tall, the EQS is actually marginally longer than the latest S-Class, SWB, and boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.20Cd, making it the world’s most aerodynamic production car.

That industry-leading coefficient combines with the 107.8kWh newgeneration battery packs to gift the EQS a range of up to 770km depending on the variant. As for the two variants confirmed thus far, Mercedes has revealed the EQS450+ will be rear-wheel-drive only and produce 245kW/568Nm, resulting in a 0-100kmh time of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 210kmh. The higher-spec – twin-motor – 580 4Matic meanwhile will channel 385kW/855Nm through all four wheels, mowing the 0-100kmh time down to 4.3 seconds, however the top speed will remain the same, 210kmh. A high-performance variant is also reportedly in the works and at this stage could develop up to 560kW of

power and in excess of 1000Nm of torque. In terms of charging capabilities, Mercedes says all EQS vehicles can be charged with up to 200kW when hooked up to a DC fast charger with up to 300km of range being added in just 15 minutes. Using an 11kW wallbox at home will take 10 hours to charge the battery from empty to 100 percent, a period halved by the use of a 22kW unit. Being the electric counterpart of the S-Class, it should come as no surprise to find the EQS to be almost overflowing with technology, gadgetry and luxury, something Daimler and Mercedes-Benz AG chief executive Ola Kallenius said was a must. “The EQS is designed to exceed

the expectations of even our most demanding customers,” he said. “That’s exactly what a Mercedes has to do to earn the letter ‘S’ in its name. “Because we don’t award that letter lightly.” As previously reported by GoAuto, the EQS will debut Mercedes’ new MBUX Hyperscreen; a full-width digital dashboard that will span the entirety of the dashboard, featuring artificial intelligence as well as learning capabilities to personalise journeys and the driving experience as much as possible. Edge-to-edge, the new curved screen measures 141cm in diameter and offers a display area of 2432.11cm2 with all of the touch controls providing haptic feedback upon contact.

In another brand-first, the EQS will score over-the-air function updates, installs and activations, including two special driving programs available from launch – one for young drivers and one for service staff – and greater articulation for the rear-axle steering. An optional extra on the S-Class, the EQS’ rear-axle steering will come as standard on all variants and offer up to 4.5 degrees of counter steering at slow speeds, a feature that can be expanded to 10 degrees with the relevant OTA update and shave a metre off the standard 11.9m turning circle. For reference, the full specifications, including variant specifics and pricing, will be released closer to the EQS’ local launch. – Callum Hunter

Driver warning

ictorians breaking road laws and using their mobile phones while driving are in the ﬁring line of new distracted-driver-detection technology.

The trial occurred while stage-four COVID-19 restrictions were in place in Victoria. As a result, researchers believe the number of offenders could be higher when roads are busier. The trial involved using two portable cameras across metropolitan and regional locations. The technology can identify drivers who do not wear a seatbelt and other dangerous behaviour, such as driving without hands on the wheel or with pets on laps. Research from Monash University Accident Research Centre has estimated the technology had the capacity to prevent 95 crashes involving casualties a year.

The State Government, after a successful trial of the technology, will invest $33.7-million to develop and implement its use and introduce new accompanying legislation. The government decision comes as Wimmera police maintain an extended heightened approach to road-safety across the region during the school-holiday period. Wimmera police Superintendent Ian Milner warned earlier this month that a significant danger period for Wimmera roads remained and stressed a need for motorists to be vigilant. Driver distraction, one of the primary causes of fatal road trauma, was among areas that police throughout the Wimmera targeted during Operation Nexus during the Easter break. The new technology involves an artificial-intelligence camera system to capture high-resolution images of passing vehicles in all traffic and weather conditions – day or night. Appropriately trained personnel then verify images deemed likely to involve an offence. A three-month trial, which involved assessing 679,438 vehicles, detected one in 42 drivers illegally using a mobile phone behind the wheel.

Estimates are that establishing permanent distracted-driver surveillance technology on Victorian roads would also help to free up resources for Victoria Police – who currently need to physically catch drivers in the act of using their mobile phone before issuing a ﬁne. The government is preparing further stakeholder consultation, technology testing and demonstrations, as well as a public awareness campaign ahead of the roll-out of the technology by 2023. The distracted-driving detection technology is part of the government’s new Road Safety Strategy, which aims to halve road deaths and signiﬁcantly reduce injuries by 2030 on the path towards zero road deaths by 2050.

Haval prices Jolion from $27,990 Less than a fortnight after its reveal, Haval Australia has detailed the Launch Editions of its new Jolion SUV with the compact family hauler checking in from $27,990 driveaway for the ‘midrange’ Lux LE. Above the Lux is the Ultra LE, priced from $30,990 driveaway, however no dedicated entry-level variant has been detailed yet – we expect it to land with the regular range sometime in the near future. Limited initially to just 300 examples, the Jolion is Haval’s replacement for the H2 and sits directly beneath the new-gen-

Facelifted Camry hits the road

he facelifted Toyota Camry mid-size sedan range is now on sale in Australia priced from $30,990 plus on-road costs – and only one of the five variants comes without a hybrid drivetrain.

UPDATE: Toyota Camry has revealed pricing and full specs for its mid-life sedan facelift. by the switch from a six- to eightspeed automatic transmission. A total system output of 160kW remains for the hybrid, as do fuel consumption figures between 4.2L/100km and 4.5L/100km depending on the variant, while the sports-oriented SX variant gets a hybrid for the first time with this facelift and consumes 4.7L/100km. On the subject of Camry SX, all V6

engines have been dumped along with all four-cylinder petrols apart from the Ascent, consolidating the range from nine variants to five. Styling updates include a new grille and front bumper design that on the base Ascent features horizontal slats and a honeycomb mesh on other variants, which also get a different lower bumper design with full-width chin spoiler and additional trim pieces

that subtly mimic the Lexus ‘spindle grille’. Going for the Ascent hybrid costs an extra $2500 over the petrol. In addition to fuel-saving benefits, the electrified version gains dual-zone climate control over the petrol’s basic manual air-conditioning set-up, as well as keyless entry and start. But the hybrid has a space-saver spare wheel instead of the petrol’s full-size alloy item.

Prices are up between $1700 and $4200 across the board, with Toyota in return upgrading standard safety technologies by adding road sign recognition, lane-centring assistance, intersection collision avoidance, emergency steering assist and Toyota’s Connected Services telematics system. The latter can automatically alert emergency services with vehicle location data in the event of an accident serious enough to activate the airbags and includes a stolen vehicle tracking function. Manual emergency requests can also be made using an onboard SOS button. On the entry-level Ascent petrol – the only variant now available with a nonhybrid option – a useful 19kW/22Nm increase in power and torque comes courtesy of its upgraded 2.5-litre fourcylinder petrol engine that produces 152kW and 243Nm. With direct injection and a high 13:1 compression ratio, the engine can still operate on 91 RON regular unleaded and returns 6.8 litres per 100km on the official combined cycle, down from 7.8L/100km in its predecessor, helped

Equipment is otherwise identical for the Ascent variants, with the urethane steering wheel and cloth seats befitting a base model. Adjustment of both is manual, with electric lumbar support for the driver. The instrument panel has a 4.2-inch trip computer display. The 7.0-inch touchscreen media system has six speakers, voice recognition, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, DAB+ digital radio reception, Bluetooth and compatibility with the myToyota app system enabling access to Waze navigation, Stitcher audio streaming, WebEx conference calling and provides vision from the reversing camera and guidelines. For $36,290 plus on-roads the Ascent Sport adds three driving modes, electric folding door mirrors, bigger 7.0-inch instrument panel and 9.0inch media screens – the latter with in-built satellite navigation – and a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel. At the top of the Camry tree is the $46,990 plus on-roads SL, which has a head-up display, heated and ventilated front seats, surround-view monitor, nine-speaker JBL premium audio, panoramic glass roof, a powered boot lid, self-dimming rearview mirror and 18-inch alloys. – Haitham Razagui

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.

We like looking at the near-empty calendar/diary/planner, which gives us a visual representation of the twelve months to come, in which we can dream, plan and put into action all the things we would like to get done. Last year had many major changes, presenting us with equally major gaps in our ‘normal’ lives. We can laugh at a quotation of humorous columnist Erma Bombeck about the word NORMAL. “The only place you find Normal in life is on your washing machine”. The twelve months ahead of us can be extraordinary if we plan and set into action the changes we desire. Abraham Lincoln said that the best way to predict the future was to create it! Fill your plans with hope, kindness, togetherness and lots of joy. Create a new ‘normal’, one that you and your family and friends will call wonderful. I know it is already nearly one third of the way through the year, but it’s never too late for a new beginning. In Jesus, you will find Someone Who will “make all things new”, and give you a fresh start, a new beginning, no matter how badly you’ve ‘stuffed things up’. He wants to be your hope. Hope that “will not disappoint us” and will be “an anchor for our souls”. He will not let you down. Ever. Heather Seaman, City Heart Church of Christ, Stawell

Top match-ups H

BY DAVID BERRY

eidelberg will be out to put a gap on the rest of the Volleyball Horsham A Grade competition when play resumes tonight.

The ladder leader will have a fight on its hands when it takes on Shados Inala in the match of round seven. The key match-ups will be Nathan Berry and Tim Popple. Berry will be keen to match himself against the veteran spiker to minimise Popple’s influence in attack. The high leaping Berry will have Paddy Sherry riding shotgun, with this match-up worth the ticket price alone. If the two of them can shut Popple out of the game, Heidelberg should win. Popple has his own attacking weapons, with youngster Caleb Smith developing nicely in his middle role, while it will be up to setter Hannah Whyte to exploit Smith versus Tamikah Dockrill through the middle. In other games, Phantoms should be too strong for Von Steiger Bloods, who will be missing key playmaker Timmy Carter for at least another two weeks due to injury. Volleyroos and Pegasus will be an interesting match-up, with Volleyroos youngsters Ryan Spruyt and Ash Francis developing nicely. Spruyt has taken to the middle blocking role with good success, getting hands on most opposition attacks, while Francis is working his way into his opposite role. In B Grade, the match of the night sees ladder-leading Von Steiger Shadows taking on third-placed Heidelberg Masters.

Richard Nagorcka and Vaughn Maroske are developing into a potent combination, with Nagorcka’s ability to get the ball in the right spot for Maroske to hit plenty of winners. But this game will be decided upon by the team that blocks best. Von Steiger Shadows has Adam Harrison and Leigh Creasey ever dangerous on the net. The next interesting match will see one team being left winless this season, when stablemates Von Steiger Bloods and Gangsters battle in the opening match of the night. The Bloods will look to Pat Pignataro and Tayla Eltze to continue consistent form, while the Gangsters have Rhiannon Oxley and Ronan Garth-Lindsay as leading players.

Key contest

At the end of the night all eyes will be on a contest between Von Steiger Boomers and Parma Army. The Boomers are slowly building with Casey Quick and Mitch Warrick in good touch. The Parma Army has settled its line-up and will look to Bailey Logan and Jess McKeown to keep its nose ahead of their younger opponents. The final game should see Waterhammers take care of Von Steiger Barbarians, even though Luke McCallum’s Barbarians are on the improve. Selection trials started last night for Volleyball Horsham teams competing in Victorian Country Championships in June. These trials will continue for the next two weeks.

Teams finish on a high note State championships have officially ended for junior basketballers, with a selection of Horsham Amateur Basketball Association teams taking out top spots in their divisions. A Horsham girls under-14 team finished on top of the ladder, winning a division-three grand final game against Bellarine at Traralgon on Sunday. The boys team was runner-up in division two against Maffra. Under-16 and under-18 girls were also among Horsham teams that won in their divisions earlier this year. The weekend matches marked

the end of the Victorian Junior Country State Championship competition. Association president Jon Fitzgerald said Horsham teams in all age groups proved to be tough competition during the season, despite fewer training opportunities due to the COVID-19 pandemic last year. “We’ve had some fantastic results for all of our state championship teams, especially considering the year we’ve had where we haven’t been able to train for so long,” he said. “Normally we’d train from August, but because of COVID

Cougars face biggest test BY SARAH MATTHEWS

lenty of interest will surround Horsham District league newcomer KanivaLeeor United on Saturday when it faces its biggest test of the season to date.

The Cougars were too strong for Kalkee upon debut and went on to defeat Swifts at the weekend, by seven goals, 39-32. They are already positioning themselves as a dark horse but have an opportunity to show they are the ‘real deal’ against perennial finalist, Harrow-Balmoral. The Southern Roos are also undefeated thus far in 2021 and are coming off a win over Rupanyup. The Roos triumphed by 10 goals at the weekend, and although it was not a particularly big margin by their standards, should start favourite this week. They have a new shooting combination combining well and experience in key defender and coach Ebonie Salter. But their line-up has undergone several changes already and much will depend on who is available to make the trip to Kaniva. The Cougars led at each change against Swifts, although the Baggies were within reach of a win throughout the match. Shooter Nikki Hawker and defender Elizabeth Hawker won best on court honours for the winners, while Erin Freeland impressed at both ends of the court for Swifts, who were without regular goalie Jade Ralph.

Swifts will take disappointment from their loss into this week’s encounter with Rupanyup. This match should be a good one, based on the Panthers’ performance against the Roos last week. Kayla Woods again shone in her new role in goal attack, combining well with Jess Dunlop, 28 goals. Defender Madeline Marks also won accolades last week and will have another tough game on her hands against Swifts.

FOCUS: Rupanyup defender Madeline Marks impressed against Harrow-Balmoral. Picture: RILEY KEEL

Rival showdown

At Natimuk, Noradjuha-Quantong will look to bounce back from a loss to Laharum with a win over rival Natimuk United. The Ewes enjoyed success over Rupanyup in round one and are coming off a bye, but will find the going tougher this week against the Bombers. The Bombers performed well defensively against the reigning premier, with Yolly Molineaux and Louisa Vague winning best-player honours, and Shannon Couch shooting 34 goals. Couch will be up against her old side this week and will go head-tohead with Casey Vanstan in what will be a key match-up. The Ewes are struggling to fill the void in goals and with an injury to Alysha Liston in round one, it will be interesting to see who gets the job this week. Noradjuha-Quantong will be keen to return to the winners list after losing to Laharum by 11 goals, 53-42. The Demons have a bye this

week before meeting Kalkee in a fortnight. The Kees will be unimpressed about losing two games on the trot and will be out for blood against Pimpinio. Kalkee fell short of Jeparit-Rainbow last week in a thriller, with the Storm coming from three goals down at the last break to triumph by four goals, 46-42. Ebony Hobbs was important for the Kees through the centre, while Georgia Batson, 27 goals, won praise for the Storm. Kalkee should get the win this week, with the Tigers still working to gel a new-look side. Lacey Rudolph worked hard in defence for the Tigers and will have a big assignment this week on Lucy Brand. Pimpinio did well against Eden-

hope-Apsley in round two despite the Saints triumphing by six goals, 56-50. The Saints will meet Jeparit-Rainbow at Jeparit this week in what should be another competitive game. Centre Kendra Smith and defender Dulcie Shirrefs won praise against the Tigers and will be out to claim another victory, but the Storm is looking stronger this season and will use added depth and experience to help propel it up the ladder in 2021. Results: Jeparit-Rainbow d Kalkee 46-42, Laharum d Noradjuha-Quantong 53-42, Edenhope-Apsley d Pimpinio 56-50, Harrow-Balmoral d Rupanyup 4333, Kaniva-Leeor United d Swifts 39-32.

GIVEAWAYS

Every TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY between 1pm and 3pm

Demons show court strength Potency of a seemingly all-powerful Horsham A Grade netball team will come under an Anzac Day spotlight on Sunday when the Demons take on Horsham Saints. Horsham, fresh from a 70-21 win over Nhill, appears strong in every court position in height, versatility and toughness. Even at this early point in Wimmera netball competition, considerable opinion is that the Demons have already pencilled themselves in to play off in a grand final later this year. But what happens on Sunday on the Horsham City Oval court will provide a clear indication of the accuracy of the speculation and whether the team is a step above the rest of the opposition. Horsham Saints scored a solid 55-44 victory over Dimboola in a season opener last week and will surely accept the challenge of matching the Demons. Spectators can expect tough battles across the court. Tamika Mentha and Georgia Carberry will lead the Demons out of the midcourt but are sure to find spirited competition from Ash Grace. The home team will also have the option of manipulating Jedda Heard, Marnie Lehmann and Georgia Hiscock in defence to counter Abby Hallam in goals. Saints defenders Kiana Marshman and Elly Barnett will match the height and physicality of Paula Wiedermann and Emma Buwalda. Other games across the competition will be just as spirited. Stawell, enjoying success over Ararat first up, will be back on the court at Central Park against Nhill. Both camps have relatively young sides and match-ups should provide plenty of interest. Stawell’s Jemma Clarkson is enjoying a run through the centre, which provides leadership on court. This game will give both teams a good indication of where they sit. Minyip-Murtoa meets Ararat at Murtoa, with the Rats also back from a spell and with both teams having an opportunity to assess first-round losses. Neither camp is likely to take a tough start to the season in its stride and brush off concerns. Minyip-Murtoa came off second best 34-52 to Warrack Eagles last week. The teams are similarly matched through the centre and will closely contest both ends of the court. One of the key match-ups will evolve between Burras shooter Maddie Morgan and quality Ararat defender Raquel Scott. A game between Southern Mallee Giants and Warrack Eagles at Hopetoun is also generating plenty of interest with Giants, coming off a firstround bye, having recruited well in the season lead-up. But the Eagles, loaded with home-grown talent, are suggesting they are going to be hard to beat. Perhaps the toughest equation for the home side will be matching or quelling the midcourt talents of Emma Koschitzke and Sarah Spicer. The result on Saturday will provide the Giants with an indication of their season prospects. Dimboola has a bye. Results: Horsham d Nhill 70-21, Horsham Saints d Dimboola 55-44, Warrack Eagles d Minyip-Murtoa 52-34, Good Friday Stawell d Ararat 54-44. – Contributed

Juniors in feature match A

BY SIMON KING

replay of the last under-16 grand final will be the feature match of the second round of Wimmera Hockey Association’s 2021 season this Saturday. Hockey is at Davis Park at Nhill and Yanac Warriors will play Kaniva Raiders in the junior clash. The other junior game gives Horsham Bombers a chance to build on their first-round win to rise to the top of the ladder when they take on the Leopards, the other victorious team after round one. The two teams tipped to lead the women’s competition this season will fight for an early lead after registering round-one wins. The experience of Yanac will come up against the depth of Kaniva, which should result in an entertaining match. Horsham Jets and Nhill Thunderbirds will meet in what will be both teams’ chance to open their account for this season. After three close and hard-fought games in the open competition on Saturday, round two promises more of the same. Yanac and Kaniva should be among pacesetters this season and their clash on Saturday presents the chance for one to gain an advantage over a strong opponent.

Despite having not played finals for several seasons, Hurricanes showed enough in round one to suggest they are not to be taken lightly this year. Nhill Rangers will need to take this opponent seriously if they are to better their first-round draw. Warrack Hoops take on Dimboola Burras and these two always put on an entertaining display.

Review

In women’s competiton, the feature game saw reigning premiers Yanac Women take on their last grand-final opponents Dimboola Roos. But a replay of the 2019 grand final was not the focus, with more interest in the make up of the teams. Yanac made the stronger start, having four goals on the scoresheet by half time, and although the Roos played with more composure as the game progressed, it doubled its score by the final whistle. The second women’s game was much closer, with neither Kaniva nor Nhill Thunderbirds scoring by half time. Kaniva scored mid-way through the second half and although Nhill kept up the pressure with three unsuccessful penalty corners in the next few minutes, it was unable to even the scores. Kaniva earned three penalty corners

in the last two minutes of the game, but the result remained a one-goal victory. The open division season started with reigning premiers Yanac Tigers meeting Dimboola Burras, and neither team scored in the first half. Two Yanac goals in the first minutes of the second half gave them breathing space, to which they added another goal before the end of the game. In the second game, Kaniva Cobras took the lead three times, but on each occasion Nhill Rangers fought back to even the score, and by the last whistle the scores remained locked at three goals each. The day concluded with Warrack Hoops scoring a two-goal win over Horsham Hurricanes, which was not an accurate indication of the evenness of the game. The first half was close, with both teams earning several short corners, but neither could convert. It took until five minutes after the break for the Hoops to score, and they extended their lead with a successful scoring shot towards the end of the game to establish the two-goal winning margin. In under-16s, Nhill Leopards scored a five-goal victory over Kaniva Raiders, and Horsham Bombers scored three times while holding the Warrack Revengers scoreless.

Eagles emerge after wait With such a long anticipated wait, local football and netball was finally back in Mininera and District Football League. With more than 18 months since most teams played their last game, there was considerable excitement during this year’s pre-season and surrounding the first round. While some teams jumped out of the blocks, others took a bit of time to get into the swing of things. Ararat Eagles have emerged as the big improvers if we are to take anything from last week. In 2019 the Eagles were winless, with most of their losses coming to the tune of more than 200 points. With some big recruits coming into the team at the end of the 2019 season, the Eagles have done well to keep them all during the season off and they are now firing on all cylinders. The Eagles started their 2021 campaign with a seven-goal win over LismoreDerrinallum, and while taking a little while to get into it – trailing going into the first break – a six-goal-to-two second term gave them the spurt they needed to set up their first win. Mason Kelly was on song in front of goal booting five, while Thomas Taurau, Jayden Wright and Naish McRoberts all pulled their weight around the ground. Ararat Eagles will need all their recruits firing this week when they take on 2019 premier Great Western.

GIVEAWAYS every Friday

Great Western also started the season off with a win in a 2019 grand-final rematch against Penshurst. The game was close all the way through with only a three-point margin separating the two at the final change. But a five-goal last quarter saw the Lions snatch victory. Damon Folkes did most of the damage, kicking eight goals, while Ryan Folkes and Andrew Cameron provided him with plenty of the ball. Coming off a big win over Wickliffe-Lake Bolac, Moyston-Willaura will be looking to make it two in a row when it takes on Tatyoon, also coming off a win. Tatyoon will be looking to shut down Pumas forward Zach Louder, who last week kicked a bag of 10. The Hawks are not without their own key forwards though, with Adrian Pilgrim leading the charge along with Ben Clay. With two powerful forward lines this game could come down to who can best limit the supply. In other games, Caramut hosts Glenthompson-Dunkeld, Lismore-Derrinallum takes on Hawkesdale-Macarthur, Wickliffe-Lake Bolac plays Penshurst, and SMW Rovers, searching for their first win, travel to Woorndoo to play the Woorndoo-Mortlake Tigers. – Jonathan Box

both teams show a huge amount of respect and there is always a good crowd.” Saints leader David Johns, preparing for his first Anzac Day contest, said his team would reflect on the importance of the occasion, but added that it would not be a huge part of preparations. “We will take the opportunity to acknowledge and reflect, but we also have a footy game we need to win,” he said. “We were sucked into the contest a bit too much at the weekend and weren’t really clean enough. But the boys’ effort across four quarters was fantastic.” Round two gets underway with traditional day games on Saturday, with Yarriambiack rivals Southern Mallee Giants taking on Warrack Eagles at Hopetoun. The Giants had the bye first up and take on an Eagles side humbled last week by what is shaping as a powerful Minyip-Murtoa side. The Eagles were never in the hunt against the Burras, more than eight goals behind at quarter time and ultimately crashing to a 130-point loss. Mop-up specialist Riley Morrow, Jacob Sobey and Dane Stewart flew the flag for the Eagles and Dalton Jaensch kicked three goals. But the team will need more players

Panthers under the spotlight U

BY DEAN LAWSON

h-oh, here come the Panthers!

That, or something similar was on the lips of Horsham District football followers across the league at the weekend as Rupanyup provided the first serious glimpse of its potential in 2021. Rupanyup had generated considerable pre-season discussion surrounding recruits and in the first round enjoyed success against Natimuk United. But it was what happened on Saturday in Rupanyup’s first game at home, against Harrow-Balmoral, that had the Panther faithful up and roaring. Rupanyup not only overwhelmed competition yardstick HarrowBalmoral, but put the Southern Roos to the sword after an early arm-wrestle, running away with a 72-point win. A 10-goal-to-one-point second half provided clear indication of the home side’s dominance. Players were queuing up for selection in best-player lists but in the end it was Tylah Saunders, Tim Tyler, Mitch Gleeson, Paul Trotter and Elliot Kelly who won accolades. Rupanyup now takes its season assignment to Stawell, where it meets Swifts in what also looms as a testing encounter. Swifts rebounded strongly from

first-round disappointment to score a comfortable 73-point victory over Kaniva-Leeor United. The Baggies set the victory up at home at North Park in the opening term, kicking six goals to none and pressing home the advantage with a seven-goal third term. Tallis Miles, Zac Armer and Scott Carey led the Swifts assault, while Josh Davis and Ben Martin kicked three goals each. The result of the Panthers-Swifts contest will continue to provide competition insight. Another big game looms between arch rivals Natimuk United and Noradjuha-Quantong in a twilight Anzac weekend match for the Arapiles Cup at Natimuk. These games never fail to generate intensity and the teams take each other on after scoring solid victories. Noradjuha-Quantong made it two from two on Saturday with a big win over Laharum, kicking 16 goals and keeping the home side to only two for the game. Cam Bruce bagged five goals in the victory as Zac Kelly, Jack Vague, Riley Dunlop and Wade Francis impressed in the win. Natimuk United, meanwhile, had to hold off a willing Taylors Lake and ultimately scored a 34-point win with Nathan Koenig leading the charge

IN THE CLEAR: Rupanyup’s Jordan Weidemann wheels into the clear despite a lunging effort from Harrow-Balmoral’s James Staude at Rupanyup. Picture: RILEY KEEL with six goals and Jono Lovel three. Dylan Bates, Garry Hallam and Mitch Riddell won ticks of approval for the Rams. Both Bombers and Rams will be desperate for victory this weekend in

a rivalry that stretches back decades. Another long-term rivalry will unfold at Pimpinio where the home-town Tigers welcome Kalkee. Pimpinio, with Daniel Baker, Liam Jakobi, three goals, and Dylan Arnott

on song, fell 26 points short of the mark against Edenhope-Apsley last week, while the Kees sneaked home by 17 points in a lower-scoring affair against Jeparit-Rainbow. The Kees’ best were Simon Hobbs, who kicked three goals, Louis Papst, Pat Purcell and Deek Roberts. Jeparit-Rainbow and EdenhopeApsley will grapple at Jeparit, both sides keen to consolidate their seasons. Jay Kirwood kicked five goals for Jeparit-Rainbow at the weekend and Lukas Essenwanger, Nathan Cocks and Thomas Long were also good. Edenhope-Apsley was another to chalk up two from two after the weekend, Jeremy Kealy, Taylor Butler and four-goal George Walker impressing, and will have the Storm in its sights. A clash between competition newcomer Kaniva-Leeor United and Harrow-Balmoral at Kaniva rounds out this weekend’s games. United, which came off second best against Swifts last week, will need to quickly regroup against a Roos outfit likely to be stung into action. The Cougars’ best last week included Kayne Councillor, Chris Bryan with four goals and Liam Vivian, while the Roos had Mick Phelan, Will Plush and Anthony Close raging against a Rupanyup torrent.

Grace on target for nationals F

BY DYLAN DE JONG

rom her days shooting milk cartons on the family farm, Moyston’s Grace Lording has come a long way in the sport of combat pistol shooting. Grace, 17, has qualified for a spot in a national pistol shooting competition after winning an International Practical Shooting Confederation, IPSC, Victorian State Title at Sale Pistol Club late last month. She competed in a junior production optics competition, where participants move through a series of courses firing at stationary and moving targets. “It’s definitely something I’m very proud of,” she said. “Placing first has definitely given me a lot of motivation in terms of what I can do in the future with it.” Grace said despite qualifying for national competition, she would still focus her attention on events closer to home because she was relatively new to the sport. “The state titles was my second ever competition,” she said. “I think I want to do some smaller competitions and train up more before moving onto a huge event like the national titles.” Shooting has been a key part of Grace’s life since she could hold a gun. She said a lot of her motivation to take part in the sport came from watching her father, Wayne Lording, compete and

hearing stories about his military background. “I remember shooting milk cartons on the farm with a .22 rifle,” Grace said. “I love shooting. It’s really satisfying when you hit the middle of a target. “When you do well it makes you want to keeping doing it and if you miss the target, it just makes you want to do better next time. “I just love the adrenaline you get from the sport.” Grace said successes aside, shooting was an opportunity to bond with her father. “I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for my dad. It’s definitely a lot of fun being able to share that with him,” she said. “When I competed at the state championships, my dad helped me with my gear. The next day dad was shooting, and I did the same for him. “We are always supporting each other. It’s definitely brought us closer.” Grace trains at both Ararat and Stawell pistol clubs. Mr Lording, who is an instructor at both clubs, said he was ‘extremely proud’ to see Grace developing further in the sport. “She applied for state champs, got in and won the damn thing – I just couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I actually had a tear in my eye when she shot. Shooting is a hell of a sport, it CRACK SHOT: Moyston’s Grace Lording is working her way up in teaches you discipline, respect and how pistol shooting ranks, qualifying for a national competition. Picture: RACHEL DECKERT to handle danger.”

Golf club to host Ogilvy Senior and junior golf enthusiasts will have a unique opportunity to play alongside a world-class golfer early next month. Australian golfer Geoff Ogilvy, who has a US Open and three world championships under his belt, will join Horsham Golf Club for a twoday event from May 6. Marketing events manager Callen Williams said Ogilvy’s visit represented a major drawcard for the golf club. “It’s a huge opportunity for us. It’s not every day you get someone who’s won a US Open championship to come and play nine holes at the golf course,” he said. “It will be a big event, not just for the golf club, but for the Wimmera.” Ogilvy will play nine holes with groups organised by the club’s major sponsors on Thursday, May 6. Mr Williams said a question and answer session would follow. “I’ve got no doubt it will be very informative and he’ll give great insight into himself, his journey and the foundation he set up,” he said. Ogilvy will then join a range of junior players for a gen z golf tournament as part of the Geoff Ogilvy Foundation. Mr Williams invited anyone interested to watch Ogilvy in action. “It will be a great opportunity to see a world-class golfer,” he said.

Bendelle wins by a ‘country mile’ R

SAKE

BY KEITH LOFTHOUSE

unners with Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club saw a minor miracle in the Stawell Ironbarks on Sunday when Nathan Bendelle won a five-kilometre handicap by a ‘country mile’.

Bendelle’s winning margin over debutants Paula Pettingill and Matt Harrow was a staggering six minutes, which is the biggest over that distance in the club’s 43-year history. How did it happen? Bendelle, 43, a volunteer fireman, could breathe again after his lungs were damaged fighting fires in New South Wales and Gippsland in 2019-20. But his problems started before that. After injuring his back in a half-marathon in 2017 he ‘lost all interest’ in running. His weight soared to 104 kilograms and he was later caught in the COVID bubble when his doctor suggested he visit a lung specialist in Melbourne. “The lungs were buggered, but I could do nothing about that except by slowly learning how to breathe good air again,” Bendelle said. He was helped along the path to recovery by club-mates Andrew Reynolds, who provided tips on diet, and Sue Blizzard, who motivated his return to running. “It’s taken about nine months, but I’ve shed 29 kilograms, down to 79, I ran a PB in the Geelong Marathon last week and another PB today.” Never fitter or faster, Bendelle finished his Sunday afternoon with a 150-minute training session with coach Blizzard, riding a bike in preparation for the Great Ocean Road Marathon in mid-May. There’s no stopping him. Even the club’s five-kilometre handicap at Dunneworthy Common, Ararat, this Saturday could be at his mercy.

Rookie beats roughie

If a Stawell Amateur Athletic Club handicap last Saturday was a horse race, promising teenage rookie Elise Monaghan would have been a hot favourite to beat the veteran 100-1 outsider, Peter Hilbig. Hilbig had not won a race with the club since 2009. Placed second and third in the first two races of the cross-country season, Monaghan was widely tipped as the one to beat in the five-kilometre scamper around the flatlands of Stawell’s Rail Trail. Hilbig, who appeared on the start line looking fit and tanned, had not been seen at the club since finishing ninth in an 8000-metre race in 2010. But there was no fairytale ending. With just 200 metres to run, Hilbig was in front and looked

Third was Amy Yole, already threatening to win again after slashing 2.39 minutes from her winning time over the same distance, albeit on a tougher course, just three weeks ago. Monaghan, a level seven gymnast, is now also honing her skills as an athlete, having won a three-kilometre cross-country race, representing Marian College, and finishing fourth in another. “I’m trying to focus on ways of improving to run the best I can and dad has helped by introducing me to interval training,” she said. “I hope to get some specialised training soon on the running track at North Park in Stawell.” In a one-kilometre sub-junior division, Blaze Kenney blitzed a chasers, which included Louis Fletcher and Nash Santuccione who finished closest. The club returns to the Ironbarks on Saturday for a five-kilometre championship. Fun runners are welcome and should meet at the North Park club rooms from 9.30am.
