To all our wonderful clients & their families, our valued service providers and referral partners, we wish you all a very merry Christmas & happy new year from the friendly team at Home Instead Horsham

Spread happiness this Christmas with these simple acts of

kindness

Providing in-home care and

companionship

•

An easy way to brighten someone’s day is to stop, smile and say hello.

•

Drop a Christmas card in a neighbour’s mailbox showing that you care and are looking out for them.

•

Mow your elderly neighbour’s front lawn or footpath to take a load of their shoulders. If you're already tending to your garden, why not lend a hand with theirs?

•

Keep an eye out on your neighbour’s home to make sure that everything appears to be in order.

•

Knock on their door and introduce yourself as a friendly face who's here to talk or help.

No matter how big or small, take some time to put a smile on a senior’s face this holiday season, by sharing the true meaning of Christmas.

for seniors this holiday season

Win a ‘giant’ reward BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ebecca Drummond and her brother Aaron grew up surrounded by vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula, so it came as little surprise when they decided to have a go at making their own wine. %\ WKHLU RZQ DGPLVVLRQ WKHLU ¿UVW vintage in 2002 was ‘terrible’, but their early love of winemaking was never extinguished, just put on the backburner until the time was right. After taking separate paths at university and in their working lives, the Drummonds decided to have another go at winemaking, buying a vineyard on the eastern slopes of the Grampians in 2013. Once a staple of Mount Langi Ghiran winery and formerly owned by late renowned Victorian winemaker Trevor Mast, the Drummonds renamed their vineyard Fallen Giants. Last month, Fallen Giants became the toast of Melbourne Royal Wine Awards, one of Australia’s oldest and most respected wine shows, rewarding excellence in Australian winemaking. The Halls Gap winery won several awards, including the top honour, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy for its 2019 Fallen Giants Shiraz. “The Jimmy Watson is one of the most prestigious wine awards in the industry so I don’t think you ever

expect to win it,” Ms Drummond said. “It’s for the best young red in Australia and it’s up against some amazing wines. “We were invited to the awards so I thought we might have won a trophy. I knew we had at least got a gold and I thought maybe we would win the best Victorian shiraz. We did, and then we won the Trevor Mast Trophy for the best Australian shiraz. Trevor is a real idol of the industry and he used to own our vineyard, and loved this vineyard as well, so it’s really special.” Ms Drummond said winning the Jimmy Watson trophy came as a complete shock. “For this award, along with shiraz, you’re also up against pinots and cabernets and all these lovely wines. We love our wine but we were still really shocked to win,” she said. Ms Drummond said she knew it was a ‘good wine’ from an early stage, thanks to the quality of the fruit. ³,WV ÀDYRXU DQG LQWHQVLW\ ZHUH UHDOO\ beautiful and we were really happy with the wine itself and knew it was an exceptional vintage,” she said. Ms Drummond paid tribute to Justin Purser of Best’s Great Western, who made the wine. She said every aspect of the winemaking process played its part. “You can’t make great wine with bad fruit, but you also need a great winemaker,” she said. “The two have

to work together and we’re very lucky to work with Justin.” The Drummonds grow riesling, shiUD] DQG FDEHUQHW JUDSHV DQG PDNH ¿YH wines under the Fallen Giants label, two shiraz, one rosé, a riesling and a cabernet. “I do love them all in their own ways,” Ms Drummond said. “I don’t have a favourite, it depends on what mood I’m in or what the weather is like, or what I’m eating.” Ms Drummond said the vineyard’s success at the wine awards would help put the business on the map. “We’re a relatively new business in the industry, our brand is still quite new even though the vineyard has been here for a long time,” she said. “The win helps make consumers more aware of Fallen Giants, so it’s good for our brand and the region.”

Passionate

Ms Drummond said she was passionate about raising awareness of the strength of the Grampians wine region. “Some people are not fully aware of KRZ JUHDW WKH UHJLRQ LV DQG LWV VLJQL¿cant wine history,” she said. As is the case with most businesses, Fallen Giants has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, particularly in regard to sales. “We have the cellar door and obviously tourism slowed right down,” Ms Drummond said.

EXCEPTIONAL VINTAGE: Fallen Giants owner Rebecca Drummond with the trophies the winery won at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards. “We sell quite a lot of wine into restaurants in the city, so that affected XV DQG ZH GH¿QLWHO\ IHOW WKH ORVV RI metropolitan visitors. ³7RXULVP LV GH¿QLWHO\ FRPLQJ EDFN strongly since metro Melbourne opened up. We’re seeing more business in the region than usual at this time of year, mostly from metro visitors.” Ms Drummond said she and her brother, who is general manager of Craggy Range Winery in New Zealand, had worked hard to develop Fallen Giants and plan to continue to make a difference on the property. “Aaron runs one of the top wineries in New Zealand but we both have our roles,” she said. “We’ve made a lot of changes in the vineyard in the past few years, such as going organic. “We’re only part of the way there

with what we want to do. I’d like to plant some more grapes and also keep producing top quality wines along the way. “We think it’s a really special place with so much potential.” Before buying a vineyard, Ms DrumPRQG¶V EDFNJURXQG ZDV LQ ¿QDQFH She said working on the land and living in the Grampians provided great opportunities for her daughters, 13 and 10. “There’s a nice community here. It’s only a small community, you certainly felt that during lockdown – I reckon there was more wildlife in the main street of Halls Gap than people,” she said. “The girls enjoy spending time in the vineyard and have a good appreciation of what goes into producing a bottle of wine. I think it’s good for them to see where things come from.”

Grain flows from productive region G

BY DEAN LAWSON

rain continues to pour into receival centres and bunkers across the region as farmers strip high-yielding broadacre WimmeraMallee crops.

:KLOH UHSRUWV KDYH FRQ¿UPHG VLJQLIicant yields across a large expanse of western Victoria, the harvest has so far produced broad diversity in quality, based on crop location and growing conditions. Commercial grain company Shannon Brothers, which operates sites at Beulah and Horsham, is one operator that has reported a high yield with broad variations in quality across all grain commodities. Horsham site manager Mick Purchase, in summing up what had arrived from Wimmera and southern Mallee paddocks, described circumstances as ‘a bit better than average’. “There’s plenty of yield and with varying quality but all-in-all it’s so far tracking as a fairly good year for everyone considering how good prices are,” he said. “Much of the variability is the result of damage from a frost that spread across a broad area from Nhill to Horsham. Some areas were hit and others weren’t. It’s been a case of one side of a paddock might have been hit by the frost but the other side wasn’t – that’s how variable it is.

ON TRACK: Chris Trotter keeps an eye on the wheat harvest at Paul and Anthony Trotter’s Riachella farm. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “Canola has obviously been a major winner this year with farmers receiving record prices at $900 a tonne, protein levels in wheat are good – similar to other years – and there’s plenty of malting barley coming in. “Lentils are also good, but like other commodities, have felt the impact of frost.” Mr Purchase said many farmers were taking a measured approach in JHWWLQJ WKHLU EHVW FURSV RII ¿UVW DQG

He said in some areas of the southern Mallee, which usually leads much of the region on a harvest time-frame, were running similar to much of the Wimmera.

Mr Purchase predicted many farmers across the bulk of the Wimmera would ¿QLVK KDUYHVW E\ &KULVWPDV “We thought it was going to be a very long, drawn out harvest, but the onset of the warm weather with limited rain has sped the season up,” he said.

“It’s a nice change from what we were expecting.” The amount of grain collected at Viterra sites in western Victoria, such as Dooen, and South Australia is providing a snapshot of the size of this season’s grain harvest.

Viterra operations manager Neil Carr said grain deliveries were going well. “Although yields and quality are down slightly in some areas due to previous weather conditions, growers are continuing to support our sites and are happy with the pricing,” he said.

Key beneﬁts

Mud slurry test hours

• The PEER SEEDXTREME 5203 bearing is a direct replacement for standard 5203 bearings to signiﬁcantly extend their life. • Features 6 seals at each end, compared to most competitive bearings only having 2-3 seals at each end. • Fits most gauge wheels and closing wheels that use a 5/8” or 16mm mounting bolt. • Inside diameter 0.64” (16.256mm) • Outside diameter 1.574” (40mm) • Width 1.737” (44.12mm)

PEER’s Research and Development Center utilises mud slurry testing to thoroughly study new bearing and seal concepts. Mud slurry testing involves immersing bearings in an abrasive liquid and counting the number of hours before they fail under a consistent load. Most bearings within the agricultural environment break down because the seals deteriorate, which allows contaminants to enter the bearing and dry the lubricants, rather than bearings failing directly.

6 seals att each end

When you prepay for goods and services, you will receive a reward equal to 3.0% p.a. on the prepayment – you can use this reward amount to purchase goods from within our huge range. And here’s the ﬂexible part – your lodged amount is always accessible at any time for withdrawal.

Scholarship to upskill and invest BY SARAH MATTHEWS

anyena’s Dougal McAllister will use a $10,000 scholarship to pursue further education in business management, leadership and decision-making to improve SUR¿WDELOLW\ RQ KLV IDPLO\ IDUP

Mr McAllister, 28, is one of 13 recipients of 2021 Upskill and Invest Young Farmers Scholarship Awards, which highlight the important role young farmers play in Victoria’s $17.8-billion agricultural industry. Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas presented the farmers with their scholarships at a ceremony in Melbourne. The program, which has awarded 89 scholarships since 2015, supports young farmers with up to $10,000 to boost their skills and careers. Each recipient is eligible for up to $5000 to upskill through study and training, followed by $5000 to put new skills into practice with on-farm equipment and technology or further professional development. Mr McAllister said he would use the ‘upskill’ portion of his scholarship to complete a business fundamentals course through RCS, Resource Consulting Services. “That’s about three to four days and I’m doing a six-month course called Next Steps through them as well,” he said.

FOUND HIS CALLING: Banyena farmer Dougal McAllister will use a $10,000 ‘upskill and invest’ scholarship to pursue further education and implement new skills on-farm. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “It’s pretty much a mentorship program with another farmer. The RCS people pay and we’ll catch up a few times and chat on the phone and implement the things I have learnt through the course. “I’ve done another course with RCS so we’ll do some of that too.” Mr McAllister splits his time between working on his family’s sheep

farm and for the Trotter family at Rupanyup. “I grew up at Banyena and then I was living in Melbourne, where I studied environmental science, before the farm called me back,” he said. “Dad retired and sold all his gear and I decided to come home after he did that, so we’re slowly buying back gear.

“We’ve got plenty of sheep back home but no cropping, so the Trotters do the cropping, we do the sheep and when Paul needs a hand I give him a hand.” Mr McAllister said becoming a farmer was not ‘always on the agenda’. “I always liked farming but I don’t love sitting on tractors all day,” he said.

“Sheep work is really good for me and we’re transitioning our farm into more regenerative agriculture, trying to measure more accurate inputs and incorporate rheology in the system. “There’s lots of trials going on with WKDW DQG WU\LQJ WR ¿JXUH RXW ZKDW GRHV work and what doesn’t. “We’re also trying to improve soil carbon and we’ve started doing a few carbon projects. “It will be interesting to see how they go.” Ms Thomas said giving young farmers access to higher educational opportunities improved productivity and SUR¿WDELOLW\ RI WKHLU EXVLQHVVHV DQG ensured Victoria stayed at the forefront of global modern farming. “Young farmers are the future of Victoria’s agriculture industry and we are excited to invest in their skills to support a strong, innovative and sustainable sector,” she said. “The calibre of the 2021 applicants was excellent and showcases the passion of our young producers to excel in this industry. “There’s no doubt that the future of our agriculture sector is in the best hands.” The government will open the 2022 Young Farmers Scholarship program mid next year.

Another season

nd just like that, another year is nearly over. A year like no other and here’s crossing legs, arms and whatever else we can cross, in the hope that we start to see glimmers of hope that this SDQGHPLF PLJKW EH ¿QDOO\ running its course and will disappear as mysteriously as it entered this life.

Here’s hoping. I guess we can only remind ourselves we’ve managed to get this far. Remember when COVID ¿UVW appeared and we thought we’d be in lockdown for a few weeks? I think we can give ourselves 10 out of 10 for endurance. So too, can agriculture. Let’s take a few examples. Not one ‘expert’ predicted beef prices would just keep on keeping on in an unprecedented upward projection. Some of the commentators we talk to regularly on Country Today have admitted they got it wrong. Thomas Elders analyst Andrew Whitelaw said it was a nice thing to get wrong, while Simon Quilty, who I consider to be the best on beef, has also graciously conceded beef broke all rules. He’s still thinking it should

Country Today with Libby Price

come back 10 to 15 percent next year, but I’m sure beef producers will be more than happy with that. Victoria’s graingrowers might not be harvesting record tonnages, but they just need to take a glance over the border and quietly consider how they’ve GRGJHG WKDW ÀRRGLQJ UDLQ EXOOHW Those in the far northwest can cast their minds back a decade or two and remember how marginal that country was, how adapting farming practices has turned it into half decent, productive land. As for prices, canola is currently liquid gold. I look at those scraggly, ugly canola windrows with an entirely new respect. Wheat prices are climbing to the highest in a decade and barley has bucked the China ban to make some steady improvements. Prime-lamb producers must be very poker-faced at sales results. I’m sure many must think they’re dreaming with these cra-

zy prices. Another week, another record. Again, cast your mind back 20 years ago and think of the lambing percentages then and what you were paid a head. Worth opening the champers and here’s cheers to sheep! Woolgrowers have had a roller-coaster ride but are quietly thanking their lucky stars the caboose hasn’t been derailed by China’s rancor with Australia. I suggest just lie low fellas and gals because right now, China needs us as much as we need them when it comes to wool. For those farmers in their sunset years who are anxiously waiting for this bubble to burst, what better time to bolt? I’m no real-estate agent, but land prices do fall and now is the time to sell if that’s what you’ve been contemplating. You can never pick the peak until the prices start to fall, so hanging out for a better price is, in my mind, ill-advised. So, what is my Christmas wish? Very simple. To see my darling daughter who lives in /RQGRQ IRU ZKDW ZLOO EH WKH ¿UVW time in two years. It doesn’t seem like much to ask.

Surely a psychology degree should be a part of all ag training – or perhaps time in Las Vegas to perfect the art of poker. Prices can move by 10 to 30 percent in a matter of days. And of course, every bit H[WUD RQ WKH SULFH JRHV VWUDLJKW WR SUR¿W QR more work, no more cost, just extra revenue. Conversely, every dollar the price drops comes straight off the bottom line. So the stakes are high. For most of the past 12 months, Aussie wheat and barley has been trading with a strongly negative basis. That is, these grains have been trading well below global prices to the order of $30-$50 a metric ton. And we’ve regularly seen market reports indicating our wheat and barley is the cheapest in the world. I don’t like being the cheapest in the world. I don’t think it’s a smart place to be. We used to take pride in our ability to achieve a premium for our grains. Our customers liked the quality and they

liked the service. It seems we’ve moved from being effective marketers to impatient traders. Creating value for customers, and therefore enhancing price paid, is not the priority. We can’t blame traders for acting in a way that maximises the return to their shareholders – that’s their job. %XW LI YROXPH QRZ GULYHV SUR¿W IRU D WUDGer, it’s easy to see how lower prices drive volume. Is there now a structural disincentive for the people entrusted with the task of delivering our grain to customers, to maximise the value of that grain? This is not just an issue for farmers, it’s an issue for the Australian economy. If we’ve traded say, 10 million tonnes of grain at $40 a ton below global prices, that’s a $400-million lost opportunity. That’s $400-million that’s not injected back into rural economies. Australian agriculture operates in a highcost environment with a volatile climate. It is not sustainable to position ourselves at the bottom end of commodity markets. So it is time for an independent review of grain markets in order to answer one central question. Does the current structure maximise the value of the Australian grain crop?

Shearing trio exceeds expectations Stawell shearer Corey Mifsud, his brother Brody and their father Roger exceeded their expectations earlier this month, shearing 2822 sheep between them in 24 hours. Aptly named ‘24-hour Shear Madness’, the event, at Warrnambool Showground on December 10 and 11, was for a good cause. Although money is still coming in, Corey estimated the total would exceed $50,000, to be split between Stawell’s Skene Street Specialist School and Merri River School, Warrnambool. “We got $19,500 just for shearing the sheep, which is a great start,” he said. “We’re still waiting on donations and merchandise sales to

In the virtual driving seat BY SARAH MATTHEWS

atimuk community members and regional leaders enjoyed an opportunity to try their hand at harvesting a crop – virtually – as SDUW RI DQ RI¿FLDO ODXQFK RI WZR community projects.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster opened the Natimuk Showground Upgraded Pavilion and Virtual Reality Show Day Attraction projects earlier this month. The combined projects cost $600,000, with the virtual reality attractions to be used at upcoming agricultural shows. Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth said Natimuk Grain Arcade featured two virtual reality games, based on a farming theme. “One is set up in the latest model harvester cabin and the other is set up LQVLGH D SRUWDEOH ¿HOG ELQ ´ VKH VDLG “The idea is to create the ambience and feeling of sitting inside the cabin, using the sticks to harvest a crop. “Anne Webster tested her skills on the virtual header game and got an exceptional score.” Mrs Bysouth said the grain arcade games made an appearance at this year’s Natimuk Show but would have WKHLU ¿UVW PDMRU RXWLQJ DW WKH WK show next year.

IN CONTROL: Natimuk artist Dave Jones harvests a ‘virtual’ wheat crop as part of a Natimuk Grain Arcade project, which comprises two farm-focused show day attractions. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The milestone show will coincide with 150th Back to Natimuk celebrations on March 26. “We did have some bookings this year, but they were cancelled because of the pandemic,” Mrs Bysouth said. “In the end it’s worked out in our favour, because we can now make a big deal out of them at our own event. “We will hire them out in the future but it takes a bit of work because they are so big and need transporting.”

Mrs Bysouth said the society contracted Natimuk animator and projection artist Dave Jones to head up the virtual reality project. “Dave did a wonderful job,” she said. “We also had help from Traction Ag, which sourced the cabin and provided support, as did Natimuk Lions Club. Local trader Natimuk Solar also gave a donation towards the project.” Mr Jones said the grain arcade

games were designed to push farming concepts in a fun format. “In the header you get two minutes to get as much of the crop off as you can,” he said. “The idea is to make a game that as many people can have a quick go at. “You can always come back and have another go and see if you get a higher score.”

Tags to be compulsory Horsham Rural City Council is reminding farmers that livestock must be tagged before delivery to Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange. From January 1, 2022, all sheep and non-exempt goats from a Victorian property, regardless of age, will need WR EH LGHQWL¿DEOH ZLWK DQ HOHFWURQLF 1DWLRQDO /LYHVWRFN ,GHQWL¿FDWLRQ 6\Vtem, NLIS, ear tag. Commercial enterprises co-ordinator Paul Christopher said livestock needed to have an NLIS tag before they left a property and went to saleyards. “It’s important for producers to correctly tag their sheep and lambs to maintain traceability,” he said. “If an animal arrives at the saleyards without an NLIS device, saleyard staff are required to apply a saleyard post-breeder device, which is a cost per device to the livestock producer. “That can end up being a costly exercise if a large number of livestock require devices to be applied. “We encourage livestock producers to review requirements under the 1/,6 WR DYRLG LQFXUULQJ D ¿QH ´ Mr Christopher said further information was available at Agriculture Victoria website www.agriculture.vic. gov.au or the NLIS website www.nlis. com.au.

4 Edith St – This home needs some TLC & a bit of renovating but would come up really well. Featuring 2 dbl bedrooms, sep lounge with an open fire place, kitchen with a gas stove, bathroom with vanity & shower which leads to a dual access toilet. Pine floor boards are the real feature of the home & once polished would look stunning. The amount of shedding is amazing, for a start you have the original single garage plus lean to, both enclosed, then you have another shed with a personal access door plus lean to, behind that is more storage with a wide access door, then you have the 40ft x 20ft 2 bay garage with a storage/workshop area & a 2 bay lean to. None of the sheds have power or concrete floors but if you need storage space this property has it in spades.

20 Anderson Ave – What a great spot to build your new home (subject to council approval). This fantastic corner block has a frontage to Anderson Ave of approx 39.3m and an approx depth along Victoria St of 67.4m, you have options on how to face the home to best suit you. The property has power, water, phone running past. No sewerage in town so a septic system would have to be installed. The block is zoned township by the Buloke shire and is flat and level. Come and enjoy what the Mallee region has to offer with the Murray River only about 45 minutes away. There are no restrictive covenants on the block either.

Lot 80, Mahrong St – Zoned Farming so it is only for camping or bird watching, not for building a house on. This is a block of Mallee scrub with light sandy loan soil. It is accessed via a dry weather road and is ideal for weekend camping while exploring the region. There are no services available.

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

62 Charles St – Set on a large 1009m2 corner block, with frontage onto Charles Street of 20m approx, and side frontage onto Riverside Street of 50m approx. Power, water, sewerage and telephone all available but not yet connected. This block is only a stones throw from the Wimmera River & walking tracks, and a short stroll to Jeparits Main Street. The property currently has a small garden/ storage shed in the middle which would most likely need to be removed to build on the block.

How’s your witness? Dear Children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18 NIV “You’re kidding me?” Peta looked at her friend, unbelieving what she’d just heard. Rachel shook her head. “Nope. That’s what I heard them say about me.” Peta frowned and toyed with her mug on the table, “but, they don’t even know you. Why would they say such things?” Rachel lifted a shoulder. “Who knows. But it’s damaging to anyone who hears. They’ll have a wrong impression before meeting me.” “Will you talk to them?” Peta didn’t like gossip. Particularly when it involved a close friend. Rachel shook her head. “When people have such definite thoughts, it’s hard to budge with conversation. They have to see, what they think is wrong.” It’s hard to hold our tongue when we hear wrong things said against our characters, or those we love. We are quick to try to vindicate. However, we forget many misspeak about Jesus. Sometimes people have misconceptions about Him based on what they see Christians do. Sadly, these positions are because of how those professing to know Jesus, represent Him. In the lead up to Christmas, when the spotlight still shines on what Jesus has done for us, ask yourself. How are you showing Jesus to the world? Author: Karen Rowe, Nhill - Seventh-day Adventist Church, Horsham, Stawell & Nhill

The Paul Preusker-trained galloper relished the sharp rise in distance, running on powerfully to mow down race-leader Socialite Miss, $7, to win by just under a length. The subject of steady market support early in the day, the Shamus Award mare was smashed late in betting, ¿UPLQJ IURP LQWR D VWDUWLQJ price of $2.20 just before start time. The result brought up a second career win for the four-year-old to go along with two minor placings, and Preusker believes there could be more to come from his ultra-consistent mare. “She’s a nice enough horse; she’ll go on with it over a bit more distance,”

he said. “There’s a 2000-metre race at Sandown on January 3, so we’ll aim to head there. Is she a Saturday class horse? I’m not real sure yet.” The McKenzie Creek operation tasted success earlier in the day when three-year-old gelding Freedom Escape, $2.90, knocked over his maiden at only his second start, in race two on the card. The son of Hallowed Crown comfortably accounted for his rivals over the 1400-metre trip. “He’s going to be a progressive type over time,” Preusker mused. “He’s a handy staying sort, it’s going to be interesting to see him furnish. +H¶V D ORQJ ZD\ IURP WKH ¿QLVKHG product.” $QG ZKHUH WR QH[W" “There’s a mile race at Sandown in a couple of weeks we’ll have a look at,” Preusker said. The runner to follow from Horsham looks certain to be impressive debut winner Sugar And Sweet, $1.80. The

Rachael Samsonenko-trained runner recorded a soft victory over 1100 metres in race three of the day, easily accounting for his rivals to post a winning margin of more than two lengths. The Deep Field gelding was wayward in the straight but once jockey Jarrod Fry balanced his runner, the debutant was far too strong and raced clear to notch an easy win. The writing was somewhat on the wall after a recent Stawell jumpout ZLQ ± XQRI¿FLDOO\ E\ OHQJWKV ± DQG the stable is keen to see just how far its promising galloper can progress. “It was a good win. He was a bit green, he did a bit wrong, so we’ll have another run in the country somewhere and see where we go after that,” Samsonenko said. “He’s a bit tired this morning – Monday – so we’ll give him time to recover and see what his rating comes up at.” Purchased for $425,000 as a yearling, he was to begin his racing career

espite challenges and tribulations put in front of community sport in 2021, Volleyball Horsham is putting a tough 2021 behind it and pressing ahead with DQ H[FLWLQJ DUUD\ RI RSSRUWXQLWLHV for members in 2022.

A just-completed winter season proved how much our members enjoy the sport, with strong support for the restart despite pushing deep into December. It culminated with four of ¿YH JUDQG ¿QDOV JRLQJ WKH GLVWDQFH LQ front of an appreciative crowd. Well done to our premier teams – Tsunami, Von Steiger Shadows, Holy St Pats, Murtoa Lizards and Murtoa Devils. Now it’s time to turn our attention to 2022. The year will hit off with Volleyball Horsham at the Wimmera Regional 6SRUWV $VVHPEO\ 6SRUWV ([SR RQ -DQuary 30 at St Brigid’s College stadium in Horsham. This is a good chance for Volleyball Horsham to put itself in front of the community and answer any questions prospective players might have as well as demonstrate what the sport is about. When school returns for term one, the Volleyball Horsham Academy program will get into full swing, with 27 young aspiring athletes keen to start

Laelah Robertson and Dimitrios Vettos will coach the boys, while Tamikah Dockrill and Kimberley Crabtree will coach the girls. Those interested in playing with Phantoms in 2022 have an opportunity to impress coaches at the second of two trials in Horsham on Saturday, February 19, again at St Brigid’s College. Also on that night a season launch will be at Horsham Cycling Club rooms, where two winning female teams from the Horsham tournament will be recognised in front of their peers. Never before in Volleyball Horsham tournament history has three female teams swept all before them, so these teams will be recognised for their amazing achievement. Seven well-deserving members who have helped put volleyball in Horsham on the map will be inducted into a Hall of Fame.

Finally, for the third time, Volleyball Horsham will host Senior Victorian Country Championships during the long weekend in June. This will be another great opportunity for over-17 members to play in front of family and friends. If the support members showed for the abandoned championships in 2021 is any indication, Volleyball Horsham will send strong teams into battle for this event. Community sport has endured a lot during the past two years. It is hoped that 2022 will be an opportunity to return to somewhere near normal, hence the reason why Volleyball Horsham is being proactive and getting on the front foot to ensure our members and potential new members get every chance to enjoy the sport they love. Volleyball Horsham welcomes inquiries from anyone interested in playing in our competitions in 2022. People are encouraged to make contact through website info@volleyball horsham.com.au. On behalf of my committee we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we look forward to a big year for volleyball in Horsham in 2022.

and we’re all looking forward to the competition. “Horsham Lawn is putting in a lot of work to get everything ready and hosting the event here will be great for the region. “There will be about 300 players plus families and hangers-on, so it will bring a lot of people to town and provide a good boost for the economy.” Mrs Casey said Horsham Lawn leaders had arranged to create three courts on adjacent croquet club lawns to ensure the venue had the 26 courts required to host the event. She encouraged people to make the most of an opportunity to see some talented tennis players on display. “If all the scheduled matches get to play, there is going to be a whole lot of tennis,” she said. “Spectators are welcome but everyone QHHGV WR EH GRXEOH YD[[HG ´

Leaders hang on BY SARAH MATTHEWS

entral Wimmera Tennis Association pennant teams are set to enjoy a Christmas-new year break after producing the hardestfought round of matches this season to date.

Two of Saturday’s showdowns were decided by games, with St Michaels triumphing by the biggest margin with a 7-78 to 5-58 victory over Drung South Purple. Bottom side Central Park almost had an upset on its hands, tying with ODGGHU OHDGHU +RUVKDP /DZQ RQ VL[ sets apiece. Lawn won the encounter on games, 6-75 to 6-60, but was certainly given a run for its money. The match proved to be a story of two halves, with Lawn’s ladies enjoying a clean sweep and dropping only 11 games for the day. On the other hand, the men led the way for Central Park, too strong for their Lawn opponents all day. Highlights included Reece Harman’s narrow singles victory over Lawn’s Wayne Morrell 8-6, and Central Park’s Matt Jones and Brendan Nitschke joining forces to triumph over Stuart McRae and Ross Janetzki, also 8-6. Lawn’s Tahlia Thompson was among the day’s most successful players, dropping only one game.

The Hornets triumphed 102-42 in round four of the Country Basketball League season. The men’s match was a thriller, decided by a single point in Horsham’s favour. “Terang, to their credit, played an

The Bullants are 12 points clear on top of the ladder and a clear pace-setter. The big question when competition resumes with a month of T20 matches from January 14 is who will be their primary challenger. The Bullants were too good for Rupanyup-Minyip at Noradjuha at the weekend, making 4-144 from their 20 overs and then having their opposition 4-104 at the end of play. Justtin Combe was in a mood for collecting runs, top-scoring with 76 from 64 balls, and Mathew Combe chimed in with 37 as the brothers shared a 112-run stand. Jamie Byrne, 56 not out, offered the best resistance with the bat for the Blue Panthers and Lachlan Weidemann made 21. Jung Tigers are sitting second and might present the biggest threat to the Bullants, although the Tigers are continuing to fall victim to inconsistencies in performance. Jung scrambled across the line to beat West Wimmera at Nhill’s Davis Park at

Horsham’s Sam Breuer was the hero of the hour at Horsham Basketball Stadium on Saturday night, producing an impressive block and winning lay-up to get the Hornets over the line against Terang. Both Horsham Hornets men’s and women’s teams were victorious during an ‘emotional’ night of celebrations and commemorations, in front of a packed stadium. Story, page 69. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER
