Mine momentum A

uthorities will be under pressure to upgrade and maintain road and rail infrastructure across the Wimmera to cope with predicted mining development north of Horsham.

Housing availability is also vital to ensuring the project’s success. Leaders behind a WIM Resource Avonbank Project near Dooen expect 60 trucks would be moving material in and out of the mine site each day when running at its full capacity. Expectations are 1000 people would be employed every year over the project’s 30-year life cycle and on-site accommodation might be required during a construction phase to ‘alleviate pressure’ on the Horsham hous-

ing market. The mining company is looking to secure finances to proceed, based on a feasibility study, before the end of the year. WIM Resources completed a rehabilitation phase of the project on an Avonbank test pit to ensure land could be reused for agricultural production as part of the study. This contributed towards gaining State Government approval through an Environmental Effects Statement, EES. Project leaders have marked 2023 for mining operations to start. Director Michael Winternitz said housing availability for the project’s workforce in the Wimmera was a major factor the mining company was closely monitoring as part of its feasibility study. “We recognise Horsham does have

a bit of a rental shortage and local government recognises that as well,” he said. “We will be exploring all options to alleviate pressure that might put on us and Horsham community. “For the construction phase, we’re looking to employ a couple of hundred people, and we feel the requirement to have temporary accommodation on site to reduce the housing pressures that exist in Horsham might be a good option.” However, Mr Winternitz said about 60 percent of the workforce would be people who already lived in the Wimmera. “There will be a significant amount of people we will look to employ locally, who therefore won’t be impacting on housing and rentals,” he said.

He said he was hopeful additional housing would become available as the project progressed into its later stages. Mr Winternitz said expectations were that mining would extract 500,000 tonnes of mineral sands such as zircon, rare earth and titanium-rich mineral concentrate from the site each year. He said he hoped the rail network would improve before the mine was fully operational. “We’ve got the rail here accessible on site, however, there are issues with the existing infrastructure,” he said. “The line from Maroona to Portland hasn’t been upgraded by state or federal governments, so to start with we will be putting the product on road. “We’re currently doing our traffic-

impact study as part of the EES and we estimate there could be about 30 trucks, or 60 a day when you consider the round trip.” Predictions are that Avonbank mine will generate millions of dollars for the Horsham district economy. It is one of four of the world’s largest proposed sand-mining projects within a 70-kilometre radius of Horsham. “During a good year of crop harvest everyone is happy, but in a bad year the economy seems to suffer, so this project will hopefully help diversify the profile of the economy and provide a bit of stability,” Mr Winternitz said. “It will also help lower the unemployment rate.” Continued page 3

‘Observing with great interest’ H

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ealth services in the Wimmera-Mallee have declared they are ‘outside observers’ in a partnership conversation unfolding between Wimmera and Ballarat health groups.

West Wimmera Health Service and Rural Northwest Health have opted out of the conversation and will instead monitor the process while focusing on strengthening partnerships already in place in the region. Wimmera Health Care Group has been exploring ways to enhance a partnership with Ballarat Health Services, including a merger, in response to staff-recruiting issues and the number of Wimmera people travelling to Ballarat for public health services. The health-care group board ended its community consultation period regarding the proposal early last week. The board hosted consultation ses-

sions earlier this year and has called for public submissions on the proposal since November. More than 1000 people provided feedback. Rural Northwest Health board chair Julia Hausler said the health service, with campuses at Warracknabeal, Beulah and Hopetoun, would watch the progress closely. “We participated at the start of the process and went through quite a few of the stages, but decided we would park our interest for now,” she said. “That’s not to say we are not watching closely to see what happens and we are really hoping there’s some positive outcomes. “We’re lucky we have block funding and are financially viable at the moment, whereas some of the other health services have activity-based funding, which is incredibly difficult because you can’t control the amount of activity that comes through your hospital.”

Mrs Hausler said the health service would be supportive of any partnership or merger agreements between Wimmera and Ballarat health services if the proposal improved equity of access for health care across the region. “I know they’ve got a consultancy group working with them closely and they will come to a merger decision if they feel that’s how they can best move forward,” she said. “Right now, there are questions around the greater region – are we doing the best we can in equality and safety? “If these conversations lead to triggering that type of thinking and improvement then that’s a positive step forward rather than implementing major structural change. “It’s really important this region has this conversation about enabling our regional centres to be delivering quality care that is not sub-standard to city health services.

“RNH is really supportive of that conversation.” Mrs Hausler said the health service was already working ‘behind the scenes’ in the partnership space. “We’re already working in with Wimmera Southern Mallee Health Alliance and Grampians Health Alliance,” she said. “We also partner outside of our region with universities and have developed a research culture within our health service to look at new ways or models of care and approaches.” Meanwhile, leaders at Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital are also exploring partnership options including voluntary amalgamation with both Wimmera and Ballarat services. Stawell Regional Health is also part of the partnership conversation, with an aim to strengthen partnerships with other health services to help meet service needs for the rural hospital and Stawell community.

West Wimmera Health Service chief executive Ritchie Dodds said his health service was watching the process with ‘great interest’ because it had the potential to significantly alter how health services were governed. “We have an excellent track record of working closely with other agencies in the region to continue to improve the scope and quality of locally provided health care, and that will continue,” he said. “Ideally these discussions will ultimately result in clear and achievable objectives that will improve health care across the region. “In the meantime, we’ll continue to actively and constructively participate in the Grampians region health service partnership that is currently in place as well as the more locally based Wimmera Southern Mallee Health Alliance.”

Road, rail, housing key to project success From page 1 Mr Winternitz said the company planned to employ a broad range of skillsets including machinery operators, electricians, plumbers, fitter and turners and boilermakers, which would be the key trades. “We also plan to employ geologists, engineers, surveyors, environmental scientists and rehabilitation special-

ists,” he said. “And, hopefully young people see they have a 30-year project right at their doorstep, rather than moving to the city to earn a relatively good income and improve their skillset, they have a project here – if they’re willing to train up.” Mr Winternitz said another key part of the project was minimising environmental impact on the site to

ensure farming and mining could co-exist. “We haven’t created huge changes in the topography out here as we discovered through our test pit and have kept all of our top-soil and sub-soil separate to make sure, when we put it back, the landowner can grow a crop again,” he said. “A key difference to us and a coal

mine is that we don’t end up with a gaping hole at the end – we’re constantly rehabilitating and the reason we do that is because we want to return the land to the farmer as quickly as possible.” The mining company will seek public review of the project after the EES and feasibility study are completed later this year.

Face masks will no longer be mandatory in retail settings including supermarkets and caps on public and private gatherings will increase in Victoria from Friday evening. Acting premier James Merlino and chief health officer Brett Sutton outlined changes to COVID-19 restrictions to come into effect at 6pm. Under the changes, Victorians will be able to have up to 100 people visit their home each day. Face masks will still be needed on public transport, in taxis and rideshare vehicles and remain mandatory at hospitals and in aged-care settings. Outdoor gatherings in public places can also increase to 200 people. Density limits in venues such as casinos, karaoke venues and nightclubs will move to a one-person-per-twosquare-metre rule in line with cafes, pubs and restaurants. Public offices will move from 75 to 100 percent capacity, but density limits apply. Capacity at indoor non-seated entertainment venues will increase from 50 to 75 percent, with a limit of 1000 people still in place. Dancefloors will move to the same density limit of the venue and a 50-patron cap will also be removed, subject to density rules. There will no longer be limits on class sizes for outdoor and indoor physical recreation or fitness classes. Unstaffed gyms will also be moving to a density rule.

Column Have your say on parking Councillor Cr David Horsham residents can now have their say on a new draft car park management plan designed to help make parking in the city easier for everyone.

Bowe

At the weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Wimmera Merino Sheep Show.

If the draft plan is adopted, the most noticeable change for the community will be the extension of one-hour parking to two hours, while some four-hour zones on the fringe of the city will also become two-hour bays.

Congratulations to Horsham Agricultural Society for putting on such a successful event.

Horsham Rural City Council Mayor Robyn Gulline said that the new plan had been developed in a bid to make it easier for people to shop, visit and do business in central Horsham.

competition combined into one event, Echuca, Ouyen and South Australia.

“The focus of the new management plan is to support business activity by encouraging the turnover of on-street parking spaces,” Cr Gulline said.

What made the show special was the fact it is normally held in spring. Of course, with the pandemic wreaking havoc on events

“The proposed changes will also provide a shoppers time to complete their visit to the central business district without having to continuously return to their car to top up meters or move to another location. “For many people in the city, one hour is not long enough to complete their shopping. As part of the review, a community-based Project Reference Group was established to provide local knowledge and guidance about parking issues in Horsham’s commercial precinct. The group found that the extensive number

and scattered nature of parking restrictions was confusing, particularly for visitors to Horsham. It also reported that parking restrictions after 5pm were redundant because most retailers were closed by that time of day.

provide feedback to Council. “We want to hear from the community about the proposed plans and policy, to Gulline said.

Other issues raised were the need for more accessible parking, and that four-hour bays are generally in inappropriate locations.

“I encourage people to view the recommended changes on Council’s website and share their feedback via our online have your say page,” she said.

People have until 5pm on Friday April 30 to

But credit to the organising committee who put their heads together and came up with an autumn version of the show, which was by all reports a refreshing change – you could see all of the breeders enjoyed getting to hold a COVID safe event, but it’s all worth it in the end. This is the type of resilience that makes show in Victoria since the Coronavirus hit, and I am proud that Horsham hosted it. Another important agricultural event is on this weekend – the Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s Annual Show. I look forward to seeing lots of local faces there between 9am and 5pm on Saturday. I have always had an interest in farming. While growing up I spent many school holidays staying on farming properties where I learnt how things worked on the land, and some important life lessons as well.

First vaccines and minor delays R

BY DYLAN DE JONG

etired farmer Audrey Merrett, 93, was the first aged-care resident in Horsham to receive a COVID-19 vaccination earlier this week.

Wimmera Health Care Group staff gave Mrs Merrett her jab as part of the 1A roll-out of the vaccine program on Monday. Mrs Merrett said she had always made sure she was vaccinated for all diseases and flus that emerged during her lifetime. “I’ve always believed it’s the right thing to do, to make sure we are all safe,” she said. “Throughout the years I’ve seen lots of vaccinations that are very important, but this one is extremely important.” Ararat resident Ian Walmsey, 91, was among the first people in the Wimmera to receive a vaccine on Friday last week, as part of East Grampians Health Service’s vaccine program. Wimmera Health Care Group infection control co-ordinator Rachel Baker was the first team member at the health service to receive her vaccination as the roll-out launched in Horsham this week. She administered Mrs Merrett’s COVID-19 dose, while a team of

immunisers vaccinated aged-care residents in Kurrajong Lodge and Wimmera Nursing Home. “When I volunteered to be the first team member to get the jab, it was really to show that as infection control co-ordinator, I have every confidence that this vaccination program will be very successful,” Ms Baker said. “I’ve been excited all day for it to happen. The experience was completely painless, just like a flu shot, and I feel fine.” As a sub-hub for the vaccination roll-out, the health care group’s COVID immunisation team will help with distribution to Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital, Rural Northwest Health and West Wimmera Health Service. Rural Northwest Health nurse unit manager Meghan Noonan expected the health service’s vaccination program to start tomorrow across its three campuses at Warracknabeal, Hopetoun and Beulah. “We’re still on schedule to vaccinate our residents on Thursday and Friday this week,” she said. “We will likely be getting the AstraZeneca vaccine because of our ability to store that vaccine.” Meanwhile, phase 1B of the vaccine roll-out in the Wimmera has started at some vaccination centres, with deliv-

eries to other centres delayed. Tristar Medical Group in Horsham confirmed it started its program early yesterday. Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative’s Hamilton Street Medical Clinic and Lister House Medical Clinic – which was to start vaccinating on Monday – will start vaccine programs today after receiving doses late yesterday. Lister House chief executive Amanda Wilson said anyone who fell under the 1A of 1B criteria would be eligible to receive the vaccine. “People can book themselves in with the Wimmera vaccination clinic and please fill out the paperwork before coming in,” she said. “If people are having difficulties, they can come to Lister House or call us. The vaccinations will be done off site at Up Tempo Cafê and Function Centre.” Ararat Medical Centre was also named as a vaccination centre for phase 1B of the vaccine roll-out. People aged 70 and older, frontline and health-care workers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults and people with specific medical conditions will be eligible. To make a booking and check eligibility, people can visit www. covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/ eligibility.

AVONBANK PROJECT NEWSLETTER MARCH 2021 PROJECT UPDATE Rehabilitation of the Avonbank Test Pit is nearing completion, with a local earthworks team continuing to complete on site works, safely and on schedule. Soil, geotechnical, groundwater, and air quality specific studies remain underway on site as part of the overall test pit program. WIM Resource Pty Ltd (WIM) expects that the site will be available for seeding for the upcoming farming season. The feasibility studies of the project continue to progress well, with major studies on going, including power and water supply, and detailed engineering studies. Currently WIM is on track to deliver its final feasibility by the end of 2021. WIM continues the delivery of several environmental and socio‐ economic studies, as part of the project Environment Effects Statement (EES) process. WIM is pleased to announce that it has formed a three‐year Student Research Partnership with Longerenong Agricultural College. Students from the College will plan and conduct research on the test pit site, with the aim of understanding the impact of mining and rehabilitation on the soil and crop growth. This year a group of students have elected to study the test pit. The WIM Resource team will continue to work to progress the Avonbank Project through the EES and Feasibility process during 2021, and look forward to advancing the project so that Wimmera Southern Mallee and the State of Victoria can realise the major economic contribution of the project.

TEST PIT REHABILITATION UPDATE WIM commenced rehabilitation of the Avonbank test pit in late January 2021. This process is aimed at returning the entire site back to cropping land and includes three major stages: ◆ Stage 1 – cover tailings with overburden ◆ Stage 2 – subsoil and topsoil Figure 1. Stage 1 – cover tailings replacement with overburden ◆ Stage 3 – seed a crop The non‐valuable sand minerals from the pilot processing trials were returned to the test pit void and are referred to as ‘tailings’. Progress so far has seen: ◆ the successful capping of the tailings with overburden to approximately 1.1m from the natural surface (see Figure 2) ◆ removal of overburden off the laydown areas and roads ◆ removing all pipelines from the site ◆ overburden has been replaced (see Figure 3). ◆ subsoil has been replaced ◆ topsoil placement is progressing (see Figure 4) Results are very promising so far – the Avonbank tailings have dried well, and were safe and stable for machinery to enter the pit (Figure 1).

WIM CEO Eddy Wu recently attended the College Innovation Centre, and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with College Principal and General Manager John Goldsmith and students (top two photos).

to suggest modifications to aspects of the project that would potentially improve outcomes.

The College students visited the test pit site during the rehabilitation of the site and inspected the stockpiles (bottom).

Other activities have included: ◆ Community Reference Group (CRG) meetings continued via video conferencing ◆ The Horsham office is open on an irregular basis at present, if the flag is out then it will be manned. Normal COVID‐19 rules apply. ◆ Advertising in the local free paper and distribution of the last newsletter to various locations in the district

WIM is pleased to partner with Longerenong College to collaborate on the bigger issue of making sure that broadacre farming and mineral sands mining can work together into the future. “WIM looks forward to this exciting partnership with the Longerenong College and collaborating with the next generation of farmers, and indeed a very well respected College. Mineral Sands and farming are fundamental to the economy and this partnership recognises WIM’s commitment to rehabilitation of mined land”. Michael Winternitz, Project Director

EES SUMMARY The EES Process The Environment Effects Study (EES) Scoping Requirements require WIM to investigate potential environmental and social impacts of the proposed Avonbank Project, and if required, develop measures to mitigate these impacts. See www.planning. vic.gov.au/environment‐assessment/browseprojects/ projects/ avonbank‐mineral‐sands or the Avonbank December 2020 newsletter. Stakeholder engagement is a critical component of the EES process. Active engagement throughout the EES process provides opportunities for stakeholders to fully understand the project and its potential impacts, and to provide input into project design and measures developed to avoid or minimise negative impacts and maximise benefits. Update on the EES

RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP WITH LONGERENONG AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE WIM and Longerenong Agricultural College have formed a three‐ year Student Research Partnership. Longerenong College provide course work opportunities via the Advanced Diploma of Agribusiness Management. This year a group of students have elected to choose the Avonbank Test Pit for the ‘Conduct a Research Trial’ subject unit (students pictured right). College students will plan and conduct a research trial on the Avonbank Test Pit Site, with the aim of understanding the impact of mining & rehabilitation on the soil and crop growth. The partnership aims to establish a collaboration that will improve WIM’s understanding of the impact of mining and the completed rehabilitation on key soil attributes.

Documentation of existing ‘baseline’ environmental, social, and economic conditions for the project area and its surrounds has been completed. Baseline definition is important to enable assessment of potential impacts – both negative and positive – of development of the Avonbank Project on the existing conditions, and has now been completed for most aspects of the project. Summaries of the findings of this work are available under the Avonbank EES page at www.wimresource.com.au Impact assessment studies are underway. To date, assessment reports submitted to regulators for review include: ◆ Surface water ◆ Indigenous and historical heritage ◆ Economic and employment impacts Other impact assessments currently well advanced include: ◆ Road transport ◆ Social impacts ◆ Air quality ◆ Noise ◆ Groundwater ◆ Radiation ◆ Land use Summaries of the findings from these will be progressively made available as the work is finalised. EES Schedule for 2021 WIM is to complete the EES process by the end of 2021, at which time the EES will be exhibited for an expected 30‐40 business days for review and comment by all stakeholders. Following that, a government run planning panel enquiry is likely to be held, with findings reported to the Minister for Planning for consideration on whether the project be allowed to proceed to final approvals and licencing stage. WIM will provide regular updates on the EES through newsletters and on the web.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT WIM continues to ensure the local community and all other stakeholders are updated, despite limitations related to COVID‐19. The aim of this process is to ensure all stakeholders have the opportunity to express their views on the project and

WIM reviews opportunities to achieve stakeholder engagement in accordance with the EES Assessment’s Scoping Requirements and Consultation Plan while observing COVID‐19 restrictions. Other Activities

It is planned to open the office on a more regular basis from Quarter 2 however if you wish to make an appointment please ring the free call number 1800 959 298.

Respect is everything, at all times

t seems we as a society might need regular reminding about the importance and value of basic respect and good manners.

When we see, hear or get an inkling of a deterioration of these fundamental cultural values, especially at high levels of governance, administration or leadership, it is time for another one of those tap-on-theshoulder moments. We’ve seen a massive national resurgence in demands for greater respect for women. This comes in the wake of all sorts of ugly allegations oozing from the highest administrative and governance levels in the land. While this is everything from grubby to nasty, suspicions are that the overall issue goes much further than the realms of sexism and is more about the idea of having respect for each other generally. Having a sense of acceptance is only the

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson start of what is needed for different types of people to live and work together effectively. Everyone having respect for each other, regardless of gender, motivations, socio-economic and cultural background and a myriad of other circumstances is what makes everything work. We know that laws are in place to prevent or respond to the most serious breaches in how people treat each other. But it’s unwritten laws, many that have childhood foundations, that provide important behavioural building blocks. Last time we looked, being rude, offen-

sive, lying and yes, even having bad manners, were things most of us frowned upon – this included everyone from the youngest child to the elderly. Yet, the ideals of respect and good manners that accompany appropriate behaviour are periodically, if not regularly, under siege. To see this exposed at the highest levels of governance, and often reflected in parliamentary settings, is a reminder of how disruptive it can become. We suspect some fall into the trap of believing being respectful and having good manners is somehow a weakness. They then resort to adopting disruptive ‘cheapshot’ tactics to inflict the most personal pain on opponents as possible. The opposite is true. If everyone follows accepted rules of appropriate behaviour and understands that there are and always have been lines in the sand, individual strength in character comes to the fore.

PROUD: Laharum Primary School students collected bags of rubbish from along roadside surrounding the school and a couple of old tyres while participating in ‘Clean Up Australia Day’. Office administrator Jenny Uebergang said the students were not only proud of their community and how it looked, they were also extremely productive within the school. “Our students have their own vegetable gardens and use the vegetables to cook a variety of dishes and offer the excess vegetables to our community,” she said. “This is part of their sustainability program at school, where they are learning life skills that will serve them well into adulthood.” Pictured with their market cart filled with vegetables and herbs grown at the school are, from left, Jayden Uebergang, grade five, Enid Knight, grade six, Jade Adams, grade six, Troy Winfield, grade five and Vivienne Newton, grade six.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Leading the way

Sir, – Recent revelations at Federal Government level have rocked our society. Record numbers of women and men have peacefully protested the fundamental expectation that we have the right to work in workplaces that are safe for all, including the highest levels of government. While all this has been disturbing, it is worth shining the light on local government in contrast. Victoria recently elected a record 272 women to local government.

The most in Australian history. Forty-four percent of local government councillors in Victoria are women. Four of seven councillors in Horsham Rural City Council are women and I am so proud of our community for leading the way on electing more than 50 percent female representation. We have new local government Acts and new governance rules in accordance, to set standards and provide safe and appropriate frameworks, conducive to safe and flourishing work environments.

Hopper Electrics

It is often said that local government is the pathway to a career in politics. For women considering a career in politics going forward, let’s hope the standards set in local government may also pave the way for entry into state and federal level if they choose. As we continue to navigate our way through the issues facing federal politics, let’s be uplifted by the standards and representations of our local government sector. Cr Claudia Haenel Horsham Rural City Council

Wimmera parents and carers seeking information about keeping children and teens safe in an online environment can attend a free information session at Dimboola on Monday night. Cyber safety expert Susan McLean will present ‘Growing Up Online’ in Dimboola Memorial Secondary College assembly hall from 7pm to 8pm. The session will cover online grooming, cyber bullying, sharing nudes and sexting, potential dangers and safety tips, problematic internet use and gaming issues. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions. Teacher Duanne Corbett said for people who had, cared for or worked with children or teens, the session was ‘not to be missed’. “This evening presentation will be an informative and entertaining session for parents and carers, delivered with Susan’s famous ‘non-nonsense’ approach and will cover the positive benefits of technology, as well as what parents need to be aware of,” he said. The event is free but attendees need to book online at shorturl.at/twKNS or by calling the college on 5389 1460.

Services return for Anzac Day D

BY DYLAN DE JONG

awn services, breakfasts and morning services are set to make a return in Wimmera communities for the 106th anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli on April 25.

Service clubs including Ararat and Horsham RSLs are organising Anzac Day commemorations under COVID-safe planning. COVID-19 restrictions caused the cancellation all services across the country last year. Ararat Legacy legatee Christine Doak said the ceremony would be an opportunity to give reverence and reflect on servicemen and women who made sacrifices for Australia. “People missed out on the camaraderie that comes with Anzac Day last year and most importantly the children’s recognition of our history – they need to know what it’s about and what they’re honouring,” she said. “This is about the recognition for families to keep the memories alive and honour the sacrifice people have made in the past.” Ms Doak said each year Legacy joined secondary students at the town’s Shrine of Remembrance, however this was cancelled and would be livestreamed instead. “It is important we continue on with these plans as it reinforces the meaning of Anzac Day and its significance to the next generation,” she said. “We have a good relationship with both the RSL and schools in our region and our Anzac Day project with the schools is our big focus leading up to Anzac Day.” Legatee Frank Abbruzzese said Anzac Day was a moment in time to pause and reflect on the

efforts and the cost in lives of those who served in the Australian armed forces. “It’s very important because it’s not just another day in the year – it’s a day to focus your thoughts directly on people who are no longer part of their families,” he said. “The RSL gives those who have served and might not have seen each other for quite some time an opportunity to reflect, not necessarily focus on the bad things, but to have a laugh while being mindful of those who aren’t there anymore.” Ararat RSL can host up to 1000 people under COVID-safe planning for a dawn service at the town’s war memorial followed by a march, commemoration and breakfast. Manager Maria Whitford said she looked forward to seeing a return to a ‘normal’ service this year. “We’ve lost so much connection. The RSL had a really strong connection with veterans and their families during COVID, but I think to see people again will make it quite an emotional day,” she said. “It might hold a bit of trepidation for people to come out, but we want to make it as normal as possible. The driveway commemoration last year was magnificent, but it’s not the same as getting together and listening to that bugle playing the Last Post.” Ms Whitford asked people to register for Anzac Day services online at www.araratrsl.com.au/ anzac. Other service clubs across the Wimmera are also planning ahead for COVID-safe Anzac Day ceremonies.

Ryder joins Gap event

PERSONAL DONATION: Holy Trinity Lutheran College year-12 student Delta Wardle, with support from classmates, shows off the ponytail plaits she is donating to help people trying to cope with cancer. The hair will go to Sustainable Salons to be made into wigs. Hairdresser Jenelle Patterson cut off 30 centimetres of her hair as part of the project. Delta said she was keen to support everyone affected by cancer and hoped this week to build on the $2200 she had also raised for the cause. People can join her money-raising efforts by visiting a link on the school’s Facebook page or her own Facebook page. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Boom Crash Opera frontman Dale Ryder will headline a Live at the Gap concert at Pomonal Estate on Sunday. He will join Rusty Brown from Electric Mary and guest performer Dave Nicholson. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said he was pleased to see live-music events resume in the region. “After a year of lockdown, it’s great to kick off the region’s first major outdoor event with Live at the Gap,” he said. “Pep Atchinson from Pomonal Estate is passionate about live music and has attracted some great artists to perform. “Pomonal Estate is a great setting for a concert. What better place than a winery to get out to experience some live acoustic music, savour fine local food and wine, and socialise with friends again.” Ms Atchison said she hoped the event would attract more visitors and bring life back into the region. “The hospitality and entertainment industry has been hard-hit by the pandemic and we’re excited to offer visitors and locals the chance to experience the best the region has to offer – from local acts to produce,” she said. Gates for Live at the Gap will open from 2.30pm. Tickets are $50 and available from the venue by calling 0448 983 248 or online at tickets.oztix.com.au/outlet/ event/d0f83581-26d2-4378-ac04-04fe7da4b15e. The Ararat council is supporting the event with a $5000 community grant. Money raised from a barbecue fundraiser at the event will support Pomonal Primary School.

Plans to resolve intern concerns W

immera Health Care Group is working on addressing issues surrounding professional support for medical interns working in Horsham’s accident and emergency department.

Medical Services acting director Dr Rob Pegram said the health group shared Royal Melbourne Hospital and intern concerns about the availability of appropriate support in Horsham. “There are always senior doctors available for advice,” he said. “Unfortunately emergent leave due to illness has, at times, reduced our ability to offer this support down to a bare minimum, causing fear on the part of some interns, who were in their first terms as paid doctors. “This is regrettable and we are working hard to increase our workforce capacity to cover these eventualities.” Dr Pegram’s statement came after Member for Lowan Emma Kealy called for State Government intervention to guarantee Horsham could continue to provide adequate accident and emergency services. Ms Kealy made the call after Royal Melbourne Hospital withdrew five medical interns from

“This is regrettable and we are working hard to increase our workforce capacity to cover these eventualities”

– Dr Rob Pegram

Horsham at the weekend ‘based on occupational health and safety concerns at Wimmera Base Hospital’. “It’s a 10 to 12-week rotation that was pulled and represented five of the 12 interns they usually have,” she said. “The Wimmera must have a fully staffed emergency department. The loss of five interns seriously limits the ability to provide appropriate care. If there are issues around emergency-service facilities and staff in Horsham the Health Minister must respond and this includes money in May’s budget.” Wimmera Health Care Group chief executive Catherine Morley confirmed on Friday the intern roster had changed for the weekend. She said at the time: “We have adequate coverage of emergency doctors for the weekend. We are working with the Department of Health for a sustainable solution to ensure continued access to high-quality services.”

Lucky

Mr Price said he had thoroughly enjoyed his time in the real estate industry and had worked with many wonderful people. “In general, real estate has been wonderful to me,” he said. “I’m very lucky, because I have a supportive wife. Every agent needs a good wife or partner, because this job is not five days a week, it’s 24-7.” Mr Price said the industry had a strong future, particularly the way the market was going at the moment. He said there was plenty of opportunity for young people to become involved, however, with low interest rates, the biggest issue was a lack of available stock. “We’re finding at the minute the market is very similar to the boom times of Alcoa,” he said. “I used to get home at the time and say to my wife, ‘what do I have to do today to not make a sale?’.” Mr Price said despite the industry’s strength, it was time to call it a day. “I’m 75 this year and I just find it’s time to take a step back,” he said. “Although, I didn’t find real estate hard work. It’s the old story, as you get older it gets easier, because people trust you when you’re older – provided you do the right thing. “You can advertise as much as you like, but word of mouth is your best advertising. “Over the years I’ve helped a lot of young clients and I treat those young clients like I’d like my children or grandchildren treated – fairly. That’s what it’s all about.”

Picnic to celebrate inclusion, diversity Hindmarsh Shire Council leaders have invited the region’s residents to celebrate Harmony Day at a ‘picnic in the park’. The event will be at Nhill’s Jaypex Park soundshell on Sunday from noon to 3pm. Harmony Day is celebrated in March each year. The ongoing theme of the national celebration is ‘Everyone Belongs’, designed to ‘observe many of the cultures that enrich our community and make it an amazing place to live’. Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said Harmony Day also provided the region an opportunity to

Mr Price told long-time family friend Reg Hedditch, who was opening a new office in Portland, he ‘wasn’t too keen, but give me a week’. “I went back to him and said, ‘Look, I’ll give you six months. If you’re no good for me and I’m no good for you, let’s walk away’. And I’ve been in it ever since.” Mr Price, 74, started his real estate career in February, 1981 and 40 years later, has decided to retire from his role at Coller Rathgeber Property Group in Horsham. “It’s come around rather quickly – time gets away,” he said. “When I first went to Portland I spent two years in rentals, which I enjoyed, because Alcoa had just moved there. We went from 16 properties to nearly 400 properties in a matter of two years, which was great. “My last 10 years with Hedditches I was sales manager. We had the main office in Portland and then had two rural offices, one at Nelson and one at Heywood. “They were rural properties, which was quite good. We also sold a number of older, historical homes and I also sold to a number of clients overseas, from Jakarta and places like that, who were moving to Portland during the boom time of Alcoa and bought a lot of stuff.” Mr Price also studied to become an auctioneer in Melbourne and started doing antique and charity auctions on weekends. He relocated to Horsham in 2000 to work under Tim Coller at then Coller Real Estate, now part of Harcourts Horsham. “We’ve had a wonderful relationship – no cross words ever, between Tim and I,” Mr Price said. “Then it became Coller Rathgeber and I worked with David as well. “I semi-retired 10 years ago. Tim and I came to an arrangement that I would just look after Dimboola, which I thoroughly enjoyed, because prior to going into real estate I had the big hotel out there in the ’70s. “The old hotel had 37 rooms upstairs. I sold that hotel doing 20 kegs a week and just on 600 meals, when pubs were pubs.” The Dimboola Hotel was gutted by fire in 2003. “It was very sad, because it was a landmark building and it tore the heart right out of the town,” Mr Price said. “Dimboola was one of those great little communities and had the regatta and things like that that brought people to the town.”

He said these days, Dimboola was enjoying a resurgence. “Dimboola’s a good little town. It’s on the river and the people are good. They’ve been very welcoming to newcomers and helped them out, which is great,” he said. “It has a good bit of river and it’s only 30 kilometres down the main road to Horsham, with all its facilities. It’s really just a suburb of Horsham now, which is great. “They keep laughing at me because I keep telling them Dimboola’s getting a bit like Daylesford. I think you’re going to find that’s going to happen, because Daylesford and all those towns are getting too expensive, so people are moving. “If you’re like me in your 70s, you can sell out in Melbourne for a good dollar and come here and buy a house for $250,000, and the rest goes in the super fund. “A lot more people are moving into the country in general. I think rural Australia’s got a great future, the way things are going.”

REVERENCE: Warracknabeal grunge band Just Ace, from left, lead guitarist Craig Somers, bassist Mark Sleep and drummer Luke Bellis, performs covers and originals in a tribute show to Jake Duncan. Picture: BEN FOWLER

Flowers, music tribute for Jake

Warracknabeal pub lit up in a sea of colour and sound at the weekend as musicians performed to honour the life of late Warracknabeal man Jake Duncan.

The event, Sunflower Sessions – a tribute to Jake Duncan, featured bands, a rapper and a DJ performing for people from across Warracknabeal and district. Organiser and musician Ben Fowler said the event, at Taylor’s Palace Hotel Warracknabeal, was created to bring people together through music to remember Jake, who was killed in a hit-and-run incident early last year. “It was a way to bring people back together to celebrate the life of someone we all knew and loved in Warracknabeal,” he said. “The community has been heavily affected since he died and hasn’t felt the same since – we wanted to recapture the essence of what he did for his community.” Ararat band CROME, Warracknabeal bands Just Ace and Gypsy Love Muscle, Horsham rapper TimOSee and Warracknabeal DJ Dylan De Jong performed in the tribute show. Mr Fowler said Jake’s younger sister Lily Duncan shared some of her thoughts and reflections of her brother with the crowd on the night. “I’m incredibly proud of her for getting up and talking on the night,” he said. “As soon as she finished talking the whole

place just erupted in applause – everyone knew why they were there and loved her.” Mr Fowler said he remembered Jake as a bubbly, upbeat person who was extremely supportive of everyone he met. “He had time for everyone and brought people together,” he said. “I remember the Christmas before he died, he put a post up on social media for anyone who didn’t have anywhere to go, inviting them over to his house to have a big Christmas with him – I thought that was particularly awesome. “He’d always stop and have a chat, even if it made him late for work – he was a pillar of the community.” Mr Fowler said it was ‘refreshing’ to see people enjoying live music again after COVID-19 had prevented many events going ahead last year. “I think people have been aching to get out and stretch their legs again after the whole lockdown,” he said. “The highlight of the night was just seeing all the genuine emotion people were expressing – dancing together, having fun, talking and just being there.” Organisers adopted the sunflower theme from a ‘Sunflowers for Jake’ campaign that started on Facebook last year, when Warracknabeal residents planted sunflowers across the town.

Ride for CareFlight Mother and son duo Louise and Matthew Ginn will ride through the Wimmera on a tandem bicycle next week as part of an epic 2300-kilometre journey from Ballarat to Uluru. The pair has set a goal of raising $200,000 for CareFlight, a critical-care aeromedical retrieval and charity service. Louise said she and her son would ride 135 kilometres a day, with their biggest day totalling 180 kilometres. “We have a passion for riding and being in the great outdoors, but more so a passion to help others in need, hence why we have decided to combine these two passions and fundraise for an amazing cause like CareFlight,” she said. “We would love you to be part of this adventure either

by joining us virtually on our ‘Race to the rock challenge’ or donating and helping us reach our fundraising target of $200,000.” Horsham and Horsham East Rotary clubs are supporting the Ginns’ journey. Horsham East president Zane Bell said each club had donated $250 and members would look after the Ginns as they travelled through the region. “They will be in Horsham about 2pm on Tuesday,” he said. “This will be their second day, from Ararat to Warracknabeal. They wanted to go through Warracknabeal as Louise grew up there.” People can visit give.careflight.org/ride4rescue for more information or to donate.

Grim health picture across region A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

n Ararat pharmacist says limited access to health care could be a contributing factor to the Wimmera having some of the worst health outcomes in the state.

A national Priceline Pharmacy report revealed municipalities including Horsham, Northern Grampians, Ararat and Yarriambiack ranked among the highest in the state in four of five health categories. Australia’s Health Report: when healthcare meets self-care, compared Victorian local government areas in Body Mass Index, BMI, blood pres-

sure, diabetes, smoking and stress. The organisation collected the data from more than 700,000 health checks at its pharmacy health stations across its Australian stores from 2018-2020. Ararat pharmacist Fiona Cochrane said the health checks provided an opportunity for people to learn more about their bodies and be more health conscious. “These health checks were put in place to help improve health literacy across Australia, so people could come in and check their BMI or blood pressure, for example,” she said. “This will hopefully motivate people to take a little more interest and active

participation in their health care.” The data revealed 74.1 percent of Northern Grampians respondents recorded a high BMI – the highest in the state – while Horsham was 10th highest. Northern Grampians was second highest in the state for smoking, 27.6 percent, with Ararat and Horsham following close behind. About one in five Horsham and Ararat respondents recorded high-blood pressure. However, Ms Cochrane said the data did not provide a full breakdown of age groups and demographics. “If you look at the data for Ararat, we’re a relatively low socio-economic area and we have high rates of dia-

betes and obesity, but the reality is, we don’t have a lot of people aged between 18 and 32 in Ararat, so the data isn’t painting the whole picture,” she said. “You have to look at the data breakdown of the age groups that are in our area. As we age, we are more subject to illness and mobility issues, which cause an elevation in BMI.” Ms Cochrane said other contributing factors to poor health outcomes were due to accessibility to health care and healthy foods. “Here in Ararat we earn less money, but our houses cost less so there should be enough money left for good

food,” she said. “If I was in Melbourne, I would be paying more on a mortgage, but I would have more of an opportunity to go to a different type of supermarket. “The other issue we have out here is there can be delays in seeking health care, so if someone is diagnosed and referred to a specialist, there are a lot of barriers between diagnosis and accessing that specialist. “The general practices, allied health and Wimmera health services would have trouble getting medical staff as well, so there is a degree of difficulty in obtaining services.”

A sign of unity at college The unveiling of an Acknowledgment of Country sign at Horsham College marks a major step forward in the school providing the ‘best possible’ opportunities for indigenous students. College leaders revealed the acknowledgement late last week at a school ceremony as part of Harmony Week celebrations. Alternate programs assistant principal Liam Offer said the sign reveal was another step in the school’s journey to acknowledge the past and to move forward together. “This is to acknowledge and give back to indigenous people, but also as a measure for us to open up conversations of what we want to do to get indigenous people through school and work with community organisations to FORWARD TOGETHER: Horsham College has unveiled an Acknowledgment of Country sign as part of best support Koori students,” he said.

get to school and stay in education and we need both parental support and community support in regard to how we do that best moving forward.” The school’s KESO team and Koori Reference Group developed the signs in partnership with the Wimmera’s registered Aboriginal party, Barengi Gadjin Land Council. Principal Rob Pyers said the acknowledgement was part of the school’s plan to improve educational opportunities for all students to achieve success. “It is a symbol to acknowledge that Horsham College stands upon the land of the Wotjobaluk Nations and its people,” he said. “We acknowledge the importance of the land to the Wotjobaluk Nations people and that it was never ceded from the original owners of this land.” – Dylan De Jong

Students unite in celebration

Organiser, chaplain Yolande Grosser, said students consumed more than 120 samples of spiced chai, 200 Asian jellies, 250 Kooka’s Country Cookies and ‘enough wasabi peas to make their taste buds dance’. “The wellbeing, language and music teams had students welcoming each other in foreign languages, guessing the origin of sports and naming the nationality of flags as they entered fashions on the field in the Harmony Week theme colour of orange – which promotes meaningful conversation,” she said. Mrs Grosser said the students enjoyed sunshine and live music, provided by the VCE band under the leadership of teacher Nick Sheriffs. School captains Zachary Koenig and Bella Panozzo outlined the importance of Harmony Week while vice-captains Maddix Hughes and Lucy Macchia encouraged their school mates to get involved in Chinese jump rope and skipping rope on the library green. “Students Sarah Po Kyaut and Eh P’saw Paw Ta Lee performed the New Year dance from their Karen culture, en-

Drilling results ‘outstanding’

search for precious metals across the region has continued to show promise, with exploration company Navarre Minerals reporting excitement from results at its Glenlyle site south-west of Ararat.

Navarre Minerals described exploration ‘intercepts’ as ‘outstanding gold and silver results’ after completing an expanded drilling program at its Morning Bill prospect. Navarre Minerals revealed its drilling program had detected ‘strongly anomalous gold, silver, lead and zinc grades along 1000 metres of strike – north-west to south-east – and about 400 metres in width. Results include grades of up to 301 grams per tonne of silver and 1.3 of gold. A diamond drilling rig has now started a 2000-metre program to drill under the best Morning Bill results areas. In all, the drilling covered 8388 metres of drilling across 102 angled holes. Of these, 63 holes were on the Morning Bill prospect, covering 5508 metres. The remaining 39 holes explored regional targets elsewhere on the Glenlyle tenement, covering 2880 metres. The site is on the western edge of a Stawell Gold Corridor, which runs north to south through the Wimmera and Western District and includes historic goldfields of Stawell and Ararat. Navarre Minerals discovered Morning Bill as a greenfield prospect in 2018. Managing director Ian Holland said the latest drilling results were outstanding. “We have immediately kick-started a diamond core-drilling campaign to test the depth extents of a potentially large polymetallic mineral system on the Glenlyle tenement,” he said.

“We are extremely excited about the results we are seeing coming from the shallow drill holes at our Morning Bill prospect. It is still early days in the exploration of this mineral system, but we are already of the belief that this prospect could emerge as one of our best mineral discoveries in Victoria alongside our other discoveries at Resolution, Adventure and Tandarra. “The latest results provide further evidence that Morning Bill is a 500-million-year-old, large gold-silver system that is concealed beneath a veneer of unmineralised cover – detecting it has entailed many technical challenges. “The mineralised footprint of Morning Bill continues to grow and has now surpassed 1000 metres of strike extent, with potential for further extensions. “Diamond-core drilling beneath our best aircore drilling at Morning Bill is progressing well and we look forward to sharing the results from this program as well as the remaining air-core results.” The drilling at Glenlyle is part of Navarre’s broader regional drilling program, which has been expanded to about 25,000 metres. AC drilling is the initial stage of Navarre Minerals’ discovery plan to ‘rapidly and cost-effectively identify the shallow footprint of basement gold and silver mineralisation from which deeper targeted drilling programs can be deployed to defining the extent of economic mineralisation’. Authorities and communities across the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District have been following the progress of various mining activities and exploration projects for the past decade. Development leaders have included the prospect of a dramatic increase in mining activity into long-term socio-economic planning.

SAFETY BOOST: Wimmera Committee Against Family Violence member Kristy Martin, left, and Wynns Locksmiths Horsham’s Maria Marlow celebrate the installation of a security system at a Horsham emergency accommodation centre for people fleeing family violence.

Cameras ‘prove their worth’ Wimmera Committee Against Family Violence has helped fund the installation of a security system to protect people using a Horsham emergency accommodation facility to flee family violence. Committee chairman Geoff Miller said the group received donations as part of its work raising community awareness of the issue of family violence. “We were approached to contribute to the installation of a video security system to protect women and children seeking to rebuild their lives,” he said. “The committee contributed $1866 of donated money towards the security upgrade. “We don’t wish to name the facility and draw attention to its location. The unfortunate

reality is those fleeing a family violence situation can be at risk of further violence should their location be revealed.” A spokesperson for the emergency accommodation said in the 12 months since installation, the cameras had proved their worth. “Our organisation has been able to provide safer and more secure accommodation to some of the most vulnerable members of the community,” they said. “The feedback received has been overwhelmingly positive, with most people saying they feel safe and protected knowing that CCTV is running 24-7 over the entire site. “The CCTV system has been an effective deterrent for antisocial behaviour and has pro-

vided valuable information to police on the rare occasion. “It was also used in one instance when a person suffered a medical episode and security footage provided valuable information to health-care staff, aiding in that person’s treatment. “We would like to thank WCAFV for their most valuable contribution to our project and their wonderful work in the community.” • If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, call 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for advice or support. This free service, providing confidential advice, is open 24-7. In an emergency, call the police on triple zero. All incidents of violence should be reported to police.

Hindmarsh in spotlight H

indmarsh Shire leaders have welcomed the screening of an ‘Unearth Amazing’ television commercial throughout regional Victoria, which they hope will attract tourists and boost the municipality’s economy.

Funded as part of the State Government’s COVID-recovery assistance program to support food and hospitality vendors to increase outdoor dining capacity, the advertisement highlights the region’s townships and natural environment, showing plenty of opportunity for eating food in parks and wide-open spaces. The advertisement leverages off the Wimmera Mallee Tourism region-wide ‘Unearth Amazing’ campaign that ran last year, and targets the family road-trip tourism market through following a young family driving through and exploring Hindmarsh Shire. The television commercial and related Facebook campaign have been developed and managed by digital media company Aubrey and Areegra, from the Wimmera-Mallee. The company had previously developed the successful ‘Unearth Amazing’ branding and campaign for Wimmera Mallee Tourism. Hindmarsh Shire mayor Ron Ismay said Aubrey and Areegra

brought a strong regional understanding and appreciation of the Wimmera-Mallee, along with extensive digital marketing experience evident in the final product. As post-COVID travel restrictions ease, and attractions and services adapt to operating in the new ‘COVID-normal’, there is a strong trend of cross-regional and Melbourne-to-regional travel. “This current marketing campaign seeks to leverage off this and attract more visitors to our local towns, shops and food outlets,” Cr Ismay said. “It will be running through March to mid-April in the lead-up to Easter and the school holidays.” Cr Ismay thanked the State Government for the funding. “We are very excited to see Hindmarsh Shire looking so good on the television, giving great exposure of our shire to visitors across greater regional Victoria, and we believe it will assist in bringing more tourism dollars to help the recovery of food and hospitality businesses in our towns,” he said. The commercial is being shown on Nine Network-affiliated stations. People can call tourism and economic development officer Jeff Woodward on 5391 4444 or email jwoodward@hindmarsh.vic.gov.au for more information.

SUPPORT AT HAND: Wimmera Legacy secretary Neville Smith urges people seeking information about or wanting to donate to the organisation to visit the Horsham office.

Wimmera Legacy to reopen office Legatees will be on hand to help people with information relating to welfare of war widows, to give information about the organisation and offer a venue for people wanting to donate to Legacy’s work. Secretary Neville Smith said Leg-

Wimmera Legacy plans to reopen its Horsham office once a week from Friday on a trial basis until the end of April. The office, to open from 10am to noon, is at 33 Pynsent Street near Horsham Centre Cinema.

atees would also welcome inquiries from people wanting to join Wimmera Legacy. Wimmera Legatees care for about 120 war widows across the Wimmera and southern Mallee.

Council awaits Nhill streetscape masterplan Wimmera Mallee Tourism has engaged a consultant to deliver a Nhill Streetscape Masterplan as part of a broader series of plans across the region. Ballarat-based consulting company Thomson Hay Landscape Architects will look at effective ways to provide greater links between the Nhill shopping precinct, Goldsworthy Park, Jaypex Park and Nhill Lake, along with beautification of these areas. Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said the masterplan aimed to provide greater vis-

itor attractions and longer stays in Nhill, leading to more money spent at shops, hospitality services and attractions. Thomson Hay is developing a draft plan, which will be available for public comment once released. Cr Ismay said reflecting the complexity of the region-wide project and tight project timeframe, this public comment period would be relatively short. “However, council will inform the community of the draft’s proposed release date as soon as we are informed

by the consultants,” he said. “Council thanks Wimmera Mallee Tourism for this masterplan initiative. “The Nhill Streetscape Masterplan will provide a strong document for leveraging funding for the implementation of the plan’s recommendations, leading to greater visitor spend and continuing to strengthen the visitor economy.” People can call tourism and economic development officer Jeff Woodward on 5391 4444 or email jwoodward@hind marsh.vic.gov.au for more information.

For the love of Muttz A

love of all things dogs and a desire to pursue an entrepreneurial career has provided the inspiration for a new Wimmera business.

Neve Lawson, 20, launched her Scruff Muttz dog-grooming business in Horsham amid the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, but has quickly developed a loyal clientele of canine enthusiasts. She said she was far from surprised at the level of response to what she offered, considering dogs were an integral part of many families across the region. “People wanting specific dogs for all sorts of reasons means there are a growing number of different types of breeds and designer dogs,” she said. “Getting the right dog that is the right size, with the right levels of intelligence, personality, behaviour or odour to suit individual companionship needs can also mean a dog that has a coat or nails that need regular care and attention. “People can get very worried about this type of maintenance and this is where I can often help.” Miss Lawson decided to pursue dog grooming while studying veterinary nursing in Geelong. Her course introduced her to grooming and she soon realised that was the path she was keen to follow. She then threw herself into exploring and developing the skills of the trade and joining a national dog-grooming fraternity. With a desire to take her business with her if she decided to travel, she bought a second-hand caravan and spent several months fitting it out with essential tools. Having a caravan means she can also work from home. “While it hasn’t been cheap, I’ve been determined to ensure I have the best equipment and products possible to do this

Support for tourism Ararat Rural City Council will install festoon lighting, decorative dividers and outdoor power outlets for expanded dining opportunities to support hospitality businesses emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic. The council received a $250,000 outdoor eating and entertainment package from the State Government to improve hospitality experiences across the municipality. Chief executive Tim Harrison said the money would allow the council to help businesses make the most of COVID-19 restricted spaces and assist in economic recovery. “Part of this funding has already been used for the installation of banner flags in Barkly Street, providing heaters to hospitality venues for outdoor dining and waiving fees associated with transforming businesses to meet COVID-19 restrictions,” he said. “Once completed, the new lighting and dividers will amplify the appeal of Barkly Street, complementing the Art Deco facades of local businesses.” Dr Harrison said the council’s economic development team was working with Ararat businesses and community groups to decide on projects that would help recover hospitality and tourism industries. “All our local businesses have been affected through COVID-19 as businesses and people have been more cautious with their spending,” he said. “Decorative dividers have been sourced through Gasons in Ararat, heaters have been sourced through the local Harvey Norman store and local trades are being used wherever possible for installation. “Any Ararat business that has queries about the funding or would like additional support can contact the council’s economic development team on 5355 0264.”

That’s what it means to me

ophie Thomas has had a life-long association with Jeparit-Rainbow Football Netball Club and is enjoying a return to community sport in 2021. The Weekly Advertiser asked Sophie to share some of her thoughts about what being part of a club means to her – I started playing netball with the club when I was about 10 and have been there for 10 or so years. I love the environment, it’s a really family-friendly club. I feel like everyone always feels really involved. After the games are played, there are social functions

afterwards that everyone always sticks around for. I look forward to that. It makes the drive over from Warracknabeal for training each week, and for game days, worth it. I’m really lucky to have a lot of people I’ve grown up playing with still playing there. It definitely makes it all worthwhile, being able to see your friends. I can’t vouch for everyone, but I’m certainly looking forward to returning to the court. As much as we all tried to stay fit and motivated throughout last year, it’s definitely a lot easier now that we have netball to look

forward to, as well as the social side of things.

OUT AND ABOUT: From left, Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison, Pyrenees Premium Cuts co-owner Hayley Collicoat and Greater Ararat Business Network president Maria Whitford at the return of a business breakfast event in Ararat.

Focus on future for Ararat traders A

n owner of a business that expanded to Ararat amid the COVID-19 pandemic was guest speaker at the first Ararat Business Breakfast for 2021.

The breakfasts have been on hold amid the pandemic, but the return was well supported by a wide range of regional businesses. Pyrenees Premium Cuts co-owner Hayley Collicoat addressed the audience about her passion for the business, her role on the Australian Meat Industry Council board and plans she and her husband James have for their business. “Ararat has always been on our radar. Initially when we bought Avoca, it was one of the first conversations we had,” she said. “If you had told me five years ago that I would own three butchering businesses with a prospect of a newer, bigger business in Ararat… and that I would be on the Australian Meat Industry Council, which helps regulate our industry in its entirety, I would have laughed. “I feel really privileged that I was nominated by my husband’s peers to be on the board to help oversee our industry and ensure that there’s a certain future for small retail butchers. “Making sure small regional and rural towns still have a local butcher shop is a massive priority to me, which is why we’re here. “We’re glad to be here in Ararat and you have something really special to look forward to because we are up and coming.” Greater Ararat Business Network president Maria Whitford and Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison were also guest speakers at the event, sponsored by the council. Dr Harrison said it was great to have business representatives meet in person again after a long period of digital networking.

“The breakfast reflected on what all local businesses have endured through COVID-19 regulations and shifted the focus towards a prosperous future for business in Ararat Rural City,” he said. “Our unemployment rate has fallen to just 3.6 percent, which is lower than before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Business occupancy rates in Ararat support this further, with retail occupancy rates higher than they were a year ago. “New businesses, such as Pyrenees Premium Cuts, coming to our region and investing in our community are important contributors to the strength of the local economy.”

Resilient

In closing the event, Dr Harrison commented on the resilience of the region’s business community and the council’s focus on supporting economic development. “It’s great to be back, out and about again,” he said. “Even though we have had the COVID experience, we’ve been shut down, locked down and all sorts of crazy things have happened to us, things have still been happening. “Council is really proud to continue our involvement with GAB Network and continue working with them. “What GAB Network has been doing during this time has been terrific. The square table discussion has been something that has kept us together during that time. “There has been a lot happening, businesses have continued to move forward, council has been working with government to land a range of projects and Ararat is going to land strongly following COVID-19.”

Wry Neck

Have you ever woken up with an extremely painful neck where you can’t turn your head to one side or maybe both? You can hardly lift your head off the pillow it’s so painful and trying to turn your neck causes excruciating pain. Or maybe for you, you were in the shower and you may have just flicked your head and suddenly you can’t move it at all. How did this happen? What caused the problem and how can you fix it? This is a classic “Wry Neck” or correctly speaking a “Torticollis”. What happens is that there is a sudden movement of the vertebrae (bones) in the neck. Now it’s not a violent movement like what may result from a car accident, it’s almost like an unconscious movement, like the brain and the body in a relaxed motion moved awkwardly, caught itself out and jammed up. Suddenly the muscles spasm and you can’t move at all. Often, I see it with a sudden change in the weather overnight. I often say that 50% of people wake up with it and for the other 50% it occurs in the shower. So how can you avoid this situation? A good option is to not sleep in drafts, try and avoid awkward neck positions in sleep (that can be hard to do- however falling into a heavy sleep on your stomach can aggravate things). In the shower again not flicking your head whilst the warm water is relaxing the muscles. Unfortunately given your best efforts it may still happen. How can you fix it? Option 1 : Reach for the latest anti-inflammatory and take those until they feel better and the neck pain settles. Now the pain has gone and their neck is moving seemingly well again, no further issues right? Wrong!! The joints are still fixated and locked to some extent and the body, ever adapting and inventive has created a way to get around the issue for the short term. Long term it can create a chronic problem and can encourage arthritis. Option 2: A chiropractic adjustment has the advantage of allowing the vertebrae to move more easily, reduce the neck spasm in the short-term and assisting in creating better spinal health in the long-term. A “Win-Win” situation for you. I look forward to helping you have great spinal health.

Brigades share in ‘essential’ grants

immera-Mallee Country Fire Authority brigades are sharing in a multimillion-dollar State Government boost to improve services and better protect communities.

The 2020-21 Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program, VESEP, is providing more than $14-million to 240 grant recipients across Victoria. The annual grants program gives volunteer emergency service groups the opportunity to apply for grants of up to $150,000 to purchase equipment including vehicles, trucks, tankers, watercraft and trailers, and for minor improvements including refurbishments and amenities, such as kitchens and change rooms. Natimuk brigade has received funding to purchase a field command vehicle, while Nhill brigade will have a new light tanker. Northern Grampians brigades have also won support, with Glenorchy Estate brigade receiving funding to upgrade its volunteer amenities and St Arnaud brigade to purchase a new field command vehicle. South Lillimur brigade, in West Wimmera Shire, will benefit from money to buy a central tyre inflation system, while Yarriambiack’s Miny-

ip brigade will use its funding for minor facility improvements. Brigades in Buloke municipality have shared in $30,000, with Donald branch to install an automatic side gate and Yeungroon to buy a 9Kva generator. Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the program provided equipment and amenities necessary for the region’s hardworking volunteers to effectively carry out their duties. Acting Police and Emergency Services Minister Danny Pearson said the government matched every $1 paid by volunteer groups with a $2 co-contribution. “We’re ensuring our emergency service volunteers are well resourced with the essential equipment they need to carry out their critical work,” he said. “Emergency service volunteers make selfless and brave contributions to local communities and the broader Victorian community – and the Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program supports their ongoing dedication to keeping Victorians safe.” Ms Pulford said people could visit Emergency Management Victoria website, emv.vic.gov.au, for more information.

Wheaton to chair retirees group Wimmera Australians in Retirement members have elected Lyall Wheaton as chairman for 2021. They elected Mr Wheaton at an annual meeting, which had been delayed because of COVID-19 restrictions.

Naomi Zanker from Nhill is vice-chair, Maureen Williams, Horsham, secretary and Jean Wise, Warracknabeal, treasurer. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline was guest speaker at the meeting and spoke on a wide range of issues.

Mr Wheaton said despite the group only being able to run a couple of meetings last year because of COVID-19 restrictions, the annual meeting was well attended. “Interest in the group is high,” he said.

Harmony Week celebration has provided Wimmera migrant communities an opportunity to come together to showcase their culinary and creative talents.

More than 60 people across the region joined Horsham Centre for Participation for its Harmony Week event at Sawyer Park late last week. Migrant liaison officer Cecile Vence said students from the centre’s micro business, hospitality and English classes participated in the day of celebration. She said the event was a ‘wonderful opportunity’ to gather multicultural and Wimmera people. “The main objective was not just to showcase people’s national customs, but blend with the community at the same time and develop confidence about where they come from,” she said. “And with COVID-19 restrictions easing a little bit, Harmony Week was a great chance for people to get out and get out of their comfort zones.”

It’s time to push the pedal down I

f 50 really is the new 40, then life has just begun. The kids are gaining independence and the mortgage could be a thing of the past. Bliss. But galloping towards you is… retirement. Following are some ways to boost your retirement savings.

Increase pre-tax contributions

Ask your employer to reduce your takehome pay and make larger contributions to your super fund. If you are self-employed, you can increase your level of tax-deductible contributions. This strategy is commonly known as ‘salary sacrifice’. If you are earning between $120,001 and $180,000 a year, any income between those limits is taxed at 39 percent. Salary sacrifice contributions to your superannuation fund are only taxed at 15 percent. Sacrificing just $1000 a month to super will, during the course of a year, see you better off by $2880 on the tax differences alone. Plus, the earnings on those super contributions will be taxed at only 15 percent, compared with investment earnings outside of super being taxed at your marginal rate. But do not overdo it. If your salary sacrifice plus superannuation guarantee contributions add up to more than $25,000 this year, the excess is added to your assessable income and taxed at your marginal tax rate.

Retiring slowly

Once you reach your preservation age you might start a ‘transition to retirement’ or TTR pension from your superannuation fund. The idea is to allow people to reduce working hours without reducing their income.

FINANCE

focus

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

Keep your money working

There is a tendency to opt for more secure, but lower-return investments as we approach retirement. However, even at retirement your investment horizon might still be decades. With cash and fixed interest producing some of their lowest returns in history, it might be beneficial to keep a significant portion of your portfolio invested in growth assets.

Insurance and death benefits

With the mortgage paid off or much diminished and a growing investment pool, your insurance needs have probably changed. This is a good time to review your insurance cover to ensure it continues to be a match for your changing circumstances. It is also a good idea to check the death benefit nomination with your super fund.

Get a plan

Superannuation provides many opportunities for boosting your retirement wealth. However, it is a complex area and strategies that benefit some people may harm others. Good advice is absolutely essential, and the sooner you sit down with a licensed financial adviser, the better your chances of having more when you reach the finishing line. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

CELEBRATION OF SERVICE: Freemasons district co-ordinator RWBro John McTaggart, left, with 50-year jewel recipient, WBro Graeme Price.

Fifty-year milestone recognised After 13 months without ‘physical’ meetings, Nhill Freemasons celebrated a return to in-person gatherings this month. The event saw the presentation of a 50-year jewel and certificate to WBro Graeme Price by district co-ordinator RWBro John McTaggart. Mr Price joined Cobram Lodge 381 on April 1, 1970 and stayed a member of that lodge until it closed in 2002.

He joined Lowan – Nhill – Lodge in 1988 and has been an active member ever since. He was Worshipful Master of Lowan Lodge in 2013 and was a Grand Steward in the Victorian Grand Lodge team in 2016-17. Mr Price said he decided to become a Freemason after being invited to join by a friend and because he had uncles who were members. He said being a shy man,

Freemasonry had helped him develop his communication skills. “Any man who wants to enhance and develop communication skills and become a better person in their community should think of joining,” he said. Mr Price thanked his wife Brenda and his family for the support they had shown him throughout his 50 years as a Freemason.

VW to move to single EV platform

olkswagen Group has used its 2021 annual media conference to announce its plan to shift to a single modular EV platform starting in the middle of the decade, which will eventually be used to underpin all VW Group EVs.

According to VW Group chief executive Herbert Diess, the new platform – Scalable Systems Platform, SSP – will merge elements from the existing volume-selling MEB and upcoming premium PPE architectures, and by about 2035 will be the sole EV platform for VW Group vehicles. The SSP platform is expected to debut sometime around 2025, with the Artemis project, a high-tech EV development undertaking from Audi that was first announced last year. SSP will also be used to underpin the recently teased Volkswagen Trinity, which was described as setting ‘new standards in range, charging speed and digitalisation’ and featuring Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities when it was first announced earlier in the month. By the end of the decade, VW Group says the SSP will be rolled out across all vehicle classes. Along with its move to standardise platforms across its portfolio, VW Group is also looking to standard-

ise software with the arrival of the VW.OS operating system in 2024, with the company’s software operation to be the second-largest software company in Europe behind SAP, with a target of up to 10,000 employees. Battery tech will also be standardised, with a focus on a single, unified battery cell that will start rolling out in 2023, and by 2030 will cover 80 percent of VW Group EVs.

VW Group is also targeting a 50 percent reduction in battery costs to make EVs a more attractive and affordable proposition. In the meantime, VW will ramp up production of EVs underpinned by the MEB platform, which is currently done at the Zwickau and Dresden plants, and will be expanded to Emden and Hanover in 2022, and Wolfsburg in 2026.

Next year will also see the production of MEB vehicles in Chattanooga, USA, while the Anhui plant in China will start building MEB cars in 2023. By 2022, VW Group will offer 27 MEB-based vehicles across its global portfolio. The PPE platform will debut on a new vehicle next year, with VW Group promising faster acceleration, higher ranges and shorter charging

SETTING GOALS: VW Group is also targeting a 50 percent reduction in battery costs to make EVs a more attractive and affordable proposition.

times. Given its premium positioning, it will likely be used on Audi, Porsche and Bentley vehicles, particularly as the latter has announced it will be an all-electric brand by 2030. PPE will be phased out by the mid2030s as SSP becomes the ubiquitous platform choice for all VW Group vehicles. Along with the EV platform announcement, Audi has also announced it has stopped the development of new internal-combustion engines due to European plans to introduce stricter Euro 7 emissions standards. Instead, the brand will only focus on refining its existing powertrains to achieve a tighter emissions rating. Audi chief executive Markus Deusmann said the new standards would place ‘extreme restrictions on the internal-combustion engine’. “We will no longer develop a new combustion engine, but will adapt our existing combustion engines to new emission guidelines,” he said. Audi is yet to announce any plans to switch to an all-electric portfolio in the future, but has been steadily developing a number of EVs such as the E-Tron SUV, as well as the E-Tron Sportback, E-Tron GT and Q4 E-Tron, with a target of 30 electrified models launched by 2025. – Robbie Wallis

BMW i4 launch ahead of schedule

he production-spec BMW i4 was revealed to the world last week, however we will have to wait a little longer to see inside or feast our eyes on any more specification details.

One crucial piece of information was divulged though, that being confirmation the i4 would be launched globally three months ahead of schedule. The announcement – and reveal – was made during BMW Group’s annual media conference broadcast from Munich. As expected, the production i4 has shed the camouflaged prototypes’ apparent square front end in favour of the 4 Series’ vertical twin kidney grille arrangement, with the kidneys themselves actually being predominantly solid. Save for the blacked-out chin and signature BMW EV blue trim highlights, it would be all too easy to mistake the i4 for a 4 Series Gran Coupe, even though the latter does not technically exist yet – but it has been confirmed. A set of large diameter, aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels completes the look for the most part, although the eagle-eyed might notice the lack of exhaust tips at the rear. Only a few major details of the i4 have been locked in so far, with the

AS EXPECTED: The production i4 has shed the camouflaged prototypes’ apparent square front end in favour of the 4 Series’ vertical twin kidney grille arrangement range set to be topped by a dedicated M Performance version. While previous reports speculated the flagship would develop in excess of 400kW, it now seems the go-faster model will be the one offering up 390kW rather than the standard ver-

sion, as well as the extensively reported on 4.0-second 0-100kmh time. The confirmation of this looks to be in BMW’s wording, with the brand saying ‘the i4 model line will be available in different versions covering ranges of up to 590km and with

a power output of up to 390kW’. Nevertheless, this figure is still up on the new-generation M3 and M4 Competition twins and a good 40kW clear of Audi’s recently revealed E-Tron GT quattro. BMW has thus far remained tight-

lipped in regard to the i4’s battery capacities, however we would not be surprised if the flagship launches with the same, if not a slightly smaller version of the ‘more than 100kWh’ unit destined for the upcoming iX electric SUV, given they share similar power outputs and effective ranges. The wait to find out will not be too long, however, with BMW confirming full details of the new i4 range will be released in the coming weeks. BMW management board chairman Oliver Zipse said the i4 came from the very heart of BMW and that many customers had been eagerly awaiting its release. “This is a clear sign that markets are ready now for electromobility,” he said. “And that made releasing this Gran Coupe three months earlier than planned an easy decision for us. “The launch of the BMW iX and the BMW i4 will signal the start of our technology offensive in 2021: these two all-electric vehicles will set the benchmark for BEVs going forward.” GoAuto contacted BMW Australia for confirmation on the i4’s expected arrival time Down Under, but the local arm declined to comment, saying it was ‘not in a position to communicate further information’. – Callum Hunter

MG Motor builds electric portfolio

G Motor is not wasting any time building its global electric vehicle portfolio, with the European division debuting the Marvel R SUV and MG5 Electric wagon last week at a virtual event broadcast from Amsterdam.

Described by the brand as a ‘batteryelectric SUV for a new generation’, the Marvel R dons a completely new design to what we have seen from the brand before, even though it is based on the mid-sized HS. Measuring in at 4674mm long, 1919mm wide and 1618mm tall, the Marvel R is motivated by a trio of electric motors generating 212kW of power and 660Nm of torque. Nevertheless, MG Europe says its new electric flagship will launch from 0-100kmh in 4.9 seconds and push on to a top speed of 200kmh with an effective range of ‘more than’ 400km on the WLTP, however the exact battery capacity is yet to be confirmed. Regardless, the brand has also revealed that hooking the Marvel R up to a DC fast charger will charge the battery up to 80 percent in just 30 minutes, however it has not specified from what starting point. An inbuilt 11kW three-phase charger ensures AC compatibility. Like many new-gen EVs, the Marvel R will also possess vehicle-to-load capabilities, allowing the lithium-ion

TRIED AND TESTED: MG Europe says its new electric flagship will launch from 0-100kmh in 4.9 seconds and push on to a top speed of 200kmh. battery to link to an ‘external electrical system’ – a laptop, electric scooter, mobile fridge or even, says MG, another EV. While many of the standard equipment details are yet to be confirmed, some of the highlights for Europe include a 19.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and the MG Pilot safety suite.

Given the rear-axle mounted electric motors, boot space is rated at a reasonably conservative 357 litres with the rear seats in place, a figure that expands to 1396L when folded flat. Rear-wheel-drive versions will up the total storage ante by an extra 150L thanks to the standard inclusion of a ‘frunk’, a feature afforded by the lack of front-mounted drivetrain components.

Due to hit the European market in May, those hoping for an Australian launch of the Marvel R will be disheartened to hear there are no current plans to offer the potent SUV Down Under, however an MG Motor Australia spokesperson has confirmed the local arm is ‘watching with interest’. “We’re excited to see the potential of the MG Marvel R and its performance would certainly excite Australian buy-

ers,” they said. While there seems to be interest in the SUV, the MG5 looks to be flying a little lower under the radar as Australia’s mass love affair with SUVs continues to rip sales away from traditional passenger cars. Regardless, wagons – aka estates – are still big business in Europe with the MG5 Electric said to appeal to ‘more practical motorists’ on the account of its wagon body shape, which offers up 578L of luggage space, or 1456L with rear seats stowed. Powered by a single electric motor, the MG5 Electric wagon produces 135kW-380Nm and has an effective range of up to 400km. MG has not specified battery capacity, however the current MG5 Electric pairs its electric motor to a 52.5kWh lithium-ion unit. Far from being marketed as a performance car, the MG5 Electric wagon will reportedly go from 0-100kmh in a respectable 8.3 seconds and boast all of the same charging capabilities as the Marvel R, including its vehicleto-load functionality. Local MG sales are up 160.6 percent year-on-year to the end of February – 5425 versus 2082 – with the ZS compact SUV leading the charge with a 291.9 percent sales increase, 2555 versus 652. – Callum Hunter

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.

Christian Devotions

No Regret – 2 Cor. 7:10

There are some weird tombstones aren’t there, words written in stone or marble. Some examples are after a car accident “I should have listened to my wife, the light was red”, after an accident at an explosives site “Was that on three or after?” and finally “Don’t fuss, it’s only a cough.” While I may have taken some liberties with these humorous tombstones they all highlight something, regret, and it can be very easy to have regrets all the way throughout our life, if we allow it. This is where we feel disappointment and pain over something we did or didn’t do, a mistake made in our life. It can be like having a millstone around our neck, we can carry it wherever we go and it drags us down, we don’t live a full and rich life because of it. If we are honest we all experience this in our life, regret, and at a very early age. I remember my daughter holding her sister’s balloon and she accidentally let it go. She was only 5 but there was grief, tears and regret on her face. The question is what can we do with it, what can we do so it doesn’t way us down, so regret doesn’t control our life? God’s word tells us (2 Cor. 7:10) that to live a life without regret we need to have Godly grief. This simply means we need to understand we have done wrong to ourself, others and God. We ask for forgiveness and no longer do what caused the regret in the first place. If we do this that burden of regret will be lifted once and for all. Wouldn’t it be great that after living a full and rich life, when the time comes, to have a tombstone that reads “No regrets”, it can happen if we allow it. Captain Greg Turnbull, The Salvation Army Ararat / Stawell

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Harness fans back on track F

BY TONY LOGAN

amily and friends will be out in force at Horsham Racing Centre on Sunday afternoon, celebrating the welcome return of a much-loved community event, The Weekly Advertiser Horsham Pacing Cup. When Swedish national, now adopted Aussie horsewoman Kima Frenning, reined her six-year-old gelding Buster Brady to victory in the 2019 cup, no-one envisioned it would be 728 days until the next trainer-driver would hoist The Weekly Advertiser trophy in triumph. Cup day 2020 was cancelled because of COVID-19 and subsequent Horsham harness meetings ran as participant-only events, so Sunday afternoon is only the second opportunity in the past 12

months for fans to be on course. Horsham Harness Racing Club president Terry Lewis said the recent Noel Smith Memorial Invitation Drivers Championship had provided a dress-rehearsal for managing the safe return of patrons to the spacious lawns and great facilities at the Horsham track. Cup day will be a COVIDsafe event with the preferred option for individuals and small groups to register for free tickets at eventbrite.com – search Horsham – or via a link on the club’s Facebook page. A QR code checkin will be available at the gate. While the world has seen enormous change since Frenning and Buster Brady saluted in 2019, there will be plenty of constants on Sunday afternoon for the enjoyment of young and old. “We are looking forward to a

fantastic nine-race card of harness action, with free showbags for the first 50 youngsters through the gate, Lattanzio’s pony trot racing, BYO permitted in limited quantities and Geoff Woodward and Daren Wardle playing live,” Mr Lewis said. “The Lions club barbecue, $10 punter’s club, giant screen, bookmaker Tom Hogan, the canteen and West Side will also be operating as usual.” Gates at Horsham Racing Centre will open at noon to the sound of collection tins rattling in support of The Naked Farmer, Ben Brooksby’s nominated charity, the Royal Flying Doctor Service Mental Health Unit. For help with pre-registration or further information, people can FOR THE TAKING: The Weekly Advertiser editor Dean Lawson, left, and Horsham call Jo Cross on 0407 871 206 or Harness Racing Club president Terry Lewis admire the 2021 Horsham Pacing Cup.

Dominant display at Stawell Stawell Toyota has been crowned Stawell Tennis Club Bendigo Bank Friday Night Competition premier following one of the most lopsided grand final wins in recent memory. Meanwhile, Stawell Goldmine narrowly avoided the wooden spoon with a comfortable victory over David O’Jones Mitre 10 in the battle for third. Stawell Toyota capped off a memorable season with an utterly dominant display of tennis when it mattered most, barnstorming its way to an incredible 20-177 to 4-118 victory over second-placed Carey Covers. Carey Covers fancied its chances of causing a boilover, however its confidence appeared misplaced, as Stawell Toyota ran rampant all night en route to the 59-game triumph. No less than eight Stawell Toyota players saluted in all their matches, with Lewis Reading’s star shining the brightest, dropping just nine games on his way to taking home the Chris Tilley Memorial trophy for best player in the grand final. Blair Hart and Jade Cross led from the front, as they have done all season, and were well supported by the likes of Jonah O’Shannessy,

Henry Clough and Tom Monument. Carey Covers’ Emily Davis played a lone hand in the loss, while Malcolm Raggart tried to inspire his teammates, returning from a lengthy hiatus forced upon by injury, and winning a set in the process. Unfortunately, no others fired a shot on the biggest stage, and they will be left to lick their wounds for the next six months, as Stawell Toyota basks in its premiership glory. A podium finish was up for grabs between Stawell Goldmine and David O’Jones Mitre 10, and it was the former who reigned triumphant to avoid the wooden spoon for 2021. Andrew Dunn, Ben Martin and the Monaghan siblings, Luke and Elise, were all instrumental in the 15-155 to 9-127 victory, while David O’Jones Mitre 10’s Jamie Bach, Leon Monaghan and Holly Graveson all toiled away bravely for the wooden spooners. It will be a long winter of soul searching for both teams, following disappointing 2021 campaigns, but I’m sure all players will return bigger and better next season. – Joel Freeland

Arapiles cricket title A

BY DEAN LAWSON

n Arapiles combine is the new A Grade benchmark in Horsham Cricket Association after a grand-final series clean sweep at the weekend.

Noradjuha-Toolondo will spend the winter as defending champion and appears primed to set the pace for the next few seasons. If the team that proved too good for a challenging West Wimmera at the weekend can maintain the majority of its list and continue to build on its success it will usher in a new generation for the competition. Noradjuha-Toolondo is an offspring of a former Arapiles competition that ran parallel to Horsham many years ago before, like Dunmunkle to the east of Horsham, it merged with its larger neighbour. The Bullants, with Quantong a nearby ally, now appear a standard bearer for the game in the district alongside Swifts-Great Western in Grampians association. Noradjuha-Toolondo won the bestof-three season decider against the Warriors in two low-scoring 40-overa-side matches at Horsham City Oval, capping off a season that many cricketers feared might never go ahead. And it was the Bullants’ much-vaunted bowling attack that led the way. Both sides had the benefit of secur-

ing their spots in the final courtesy of semi-final washouts the week before. Higher positions on the ladder, reflecting season-long consistency, was enough to establish the final showdown duo and presented a new-look play-off. Homers or Rupanyup-Minyip have dominated season finishes in contemporary times. The ball clearly dominated over the bat in the first game, bullocking first-change medium-pacer Jordan McDonald providing a glimpse into the Bullants’ bowling depth with a destructive 5-12. His scalps include the critical wicket of star allrounder and opener Nathan Alexander, 20, after Matt Combe removed fellow danger man Mitch Dahlenburg. West Wimmera then struggled its way to a paltry 58 from a little over 34 overs. Heath Lang and Tony Caccaviello were also major contributors with the ball. Noradjuha-Toolondo did not have it all its own way in reply, losing three wickets in the shallow chase, all at the hands of Alexander, 3-18, but the Bullants needed only 15 overs to navigate past the score. With the Bullants a game up and in the box seat, the second game got underway the following day and a West Wimmera decision to bowl after winning the toss appeared on target.

The Warriors, with a variety of bowlers enjoying playing conditions and circumstances, rattled through the Bullants to have them 9-112 after 40 overs. Henry Smith chimed in with 3-14 and Austin Merrett and Nathan Alexander were also damaging. The innings also featured two run-outs. Shane Oakley, one of the run-out victims, top-scored with 24 and Matt Combe made 23. The Warriors were in a strong position to clinch the second game and send the grand final into the following week, but when its turn came to bat, again lost critical early wickets. Regional representative Caccaviello removed Alexander and Dahlenburg and Matt Combe claimed Brad Alexander’s wicket and West Wimmera was suddenly reeling at 3-13. Austin Smith at second drop attempted to power his team towards victory, hitting a game-high 51 in a knock including five fours and a six, but became one of Josh Beddison’s three victims. McDonald also chimed in again with wickets, his dismissal of Travis Polkinghorne with the West Wimmera score on 102 in the 36th over confirming the premiership result. His two wickets meant he had a seven-wicket game. Teams also clinched B and C grade

Top team toppled A

FULL VOLLEY

fter a shock straightsets loss to Shados Inala last week, Phantoms will be out to bounce back in round five of Volleyball Horsham’s A Grade competition tonight.

Missing key middles Loucas Vettos and Lloyd Baker, Phantoms could not muster a strong enough defense to keep the Shados Inala attackers quiet, even though they were in all four sets they played. Their inability to land the killer blow eluded them, despite the valiant efforts of Tyler Puls and Ben Wilde. Their opponents tonight, Heidelberg, had to pull out all stops to overcome a plucky Pegasus outfit that took the first two sets last week. Nathan Berry and Jack Exell steadied the ship to enable Heidleberg to come out on top with a points win. Phantoms will miss setter Kara Johnson, but has a readymade replacement in Matthew Berry, who will be in Horsham tonight, and is keen to renew acquaintances with the Vettos boys.

The battle of the brothers will go a long way to determining the outcome of this game. Can Matthew outwit younger brother Nathan when it comes to setting up his offense? In other matches, another great contest is on the cards when Shados Inala does battle with the improving Volleyroos. Tim Popple’s Shados Inala has slowly been finding its best form and a consistent line-up each week helps its chances. Meanwhile, Volleyroos have put together two strong wins on the back of some strong attacking from Jordy Weidemann and Jack Hannan. The twin towers have been well supported by setter Kimberley Crabtree. The final game sees Pegasus take on Von Steiger Bloods. Both teams have recorded one win for the season but have been in every contest they have played in, meaning this game could go right down to the wire. Much will depend on the fitness of Pegasus setter Noah Brennan who rolled an ankle last week. If the youngster can get up for this game, he will bring the likes of Will Brennan and Fer-

gus Schier into the game. Von Steiger Bloods will look to Jon Fitzgerald to hit some winners and young guns Tom Roberts and Clay Heard. In B Grade, the match of the night sees Mercedes Arnott’s Parma Army take on the Waterhammers. This will be another big test for Arnott’s team. The side could not quite get its game going when it lost to ladder leader Von Steiger Shadows recently, but has been impressive in beating teams below it on the ladder. The side will need to display that constant improvement to be able to topple the ageless Waterhammers, who just keep getting the job done each week, on the back of evergreens Chris Baker and Andrew Wundke. In other matches, Von Steiger Boomers, who upset Heidelberg Masters last week, should be too good for their stablemates Von Steiger Bloods. Von Steiger Shadows will have little trouble accounting for Von Steiger Barbarians, while Heidelberg Masters will bounce back and defeat Von Steiger Gangsters. – David Berry

State success for Mayci, Piper Two Horsham Little Athletics Centre participants celebrated success at state track and field championships in Melbourne. Pimpinio’s Mayci Porter won bronze in the under-16 girls 1500 metres, while Warracknabeal’s Piper Knorpp also collected bronze, in the under-10 girls shot put. Mayci, who attends Horsham College, said she was thrilled to score a personal best, by four seconds. Piper, a Warracknabeal Primary School student, had three personal bests at the championships. She said it was a nerve-wracking experience. “I wasn’t doing too well and then Gretel came, who’s my friend, and that made me feel

more comfortable,” she said. Horsham Little Athletics president Nigel Binney congratulated the girls on their success. “We are stoked to have two medallists,” he said. “Mayci and Piper did us all proud, as did every athlete who competed from our centre. “Their hard work and determination really paid off.” Horsham Little Athletics leaders ran endof-season presentations on Wednesday night. “It’s been a great season and we are already getting interest from potential new members for the next season starting in October,” Mr Binney said. – Sarah Matthews

Drung to face surging Saints H

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Saints have won the opportunity to battle Drung South for Central Wimmera Tennis Association glory after an intense pennant preliminary final win at the weekend.

The Saints emerged victorious from Saturday’s clash against Horsham Lawn, but had to pull out all stops to do so. Spectators were treated to a thrilling day on the Haven courts, with three sets decided by tiebreakers. Saint Peter Hayes and Horsham Lawn’s Ross Janetzki battled out the rubber of the day, with the former winning in a tiebreaker, 8-7. The sides were locked on five sets apiece late in the afternoon, with all eyes on the outcome of a singles match between Lawn’s Hayden Farlow and Saints’ Ian Nitschke and a doubles encounter between Lawn’s Janetzki and Graeme Wood and Saints’ Hayes and Nick Robertson. Lawn won the doubles in a tiebreak, giving Wood his third win of the day, with Nitschke saluting in the singles 8-6. The Saints won on games, 6-76 to 6-68 to set up a mouth-watering clash with the minor premier at Central Park on Saturday. Jess McDonald was again a standout for the winners and will be a key player in the decider after helping her side go from fourth spot to a grand-final berth. The Saints are the only side to defeat Drung this season and will be out to cause another upset and nab the trophy. The minor premier has barely put a foot wrong all season though and will enter the grand final as favourite. Drung is strong across the board and has enjoyed a consistent season, while the Saints have hit their straps towards the end of the competition. Spectators will be in for a treat and it will come down to whoever plays best on the day. In A Special, minor premier Natimuk and Horsham Lawn Massey will vie for the title after the latter upset Telangatuk East at the weekend. Wednesday, March 24, 2021

The Lawn side only secured its spot in the top four at the last minute, but proved a force to be reckoned with in the preliminary final, defeating Telangatuk 9-82 to 5-73. An injury to Courtney Price was a blow to Telangatuk East, but Lawn put in an impressive performance, with Maree Thompson and daughter Ella triumphing in all three of their sets. Horsham Lawn did not fare as well in A Grade, going down to Drung South by four sets. Richard Goudie, Al Brooksby and Justin Lane led the way with three wins apiece to help Drung South to victory, 8-83 to 4-56. The team will now play minor premier St Michaels. Drung South will be well represented on grand final day with its B Special outfit playing Natimuk for the title. Natimuk booked its spot in the decider in a thrilling win against St Michaels, 6-66 to 6-61. All senior tennis will be at Central Park from 1.30pm on Saturday. Juniors will also contest grand finals, with grades split between Central Park and Haven courts. People can visit Central Wimmera Tennis Association’s Facebook page for court allocations. Junior action starts at 9am. Grand-final draws Seniors, at Central Park from 1.30pm – Pennant, Drung South v St Michaels; A Special, Natimuk v Horsham Lawn Massey; A Grade, St Michaels v Drung South; B Special, Drung South v Natimuk.
