RIVER ACTION: Australia Day activities in Horsham today will feature a major waterskiing demonstration on the Wimmera River. Dimboola and Natimuk water ski clubs will present the show, featuring Southern Waters Ski Show Team, at Sawyer Park from 3pm. Victorian slalom champion and Dimboola Boat and Water Ski Club member Lachlan Schultz, pictured, will also join world champion trick skier Jason Sleep at the demonstrations. “I haven’t skied on this bit of river for a couple of years. It’s a good bit of water and it’s always good to ski in town,” the 22-year-old said. “The show ski team is incredible to watch so spectators will be in for loads of thrills.” The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are supporting the Australia Day ski event.

Club: We’ll be back O

BY DEAN LAWSON

fficials devastated over a fire that forced the cancellation of an iconic Wimmera horse-racing meeting have promised to ‘bounce back’ and continue to present the event in the future.

Great Western Racing Club manager Penny Penfold said the annual cup meeting was, and continued to be, so important to Great Western and Wimmera racing communities that an organising committee was already looking forward to planning 2023. She said all involved were disheartened and disappointed with events that occurred at the races on Sunday. “In assessing all that’s happened – as hard as it is for everyone – we still

adopt the same positive attitude in moving forward,” she said. “It has been really tough on everyone including the committee, staff and volunteers who put countless hours into putting this race day together. But we’ll bounce back – in time. “We’re a small one-event-a-year club and must consider what this race meeting not only means for country racing, but also the Great Western and surrounding district communities and the wider Wimmera.” The grass fire broke out in a Great Western racecourse parking area about 1.30pm on Sunday and with temperatures in the 30s, quickly developed into a significant blaze requiring a major emergency response. The fire, which ultimately gutted

18 cars and damaged others, quickly jumped from the carpark into the racecourse reserve. Ms Penfold said the club was working with Racing Victoria and Country Racing Victoria to assess what happened next. “The meeting is historic and important – for so many reasons – and it reflects what is great about regional sport,” she said. “Sunday’s meeting was also significant because it provided the community with a chance to get out and about again after major COVID-19 restrictions. “We will regroup and continue to provide a great community event into the future for many years to come. “We are thankful no-one was seri-

ously hurt and that everyone was safely evacuated. “We commend everyone – from the emergency services to Racing Victoria stewards and staff and of course our cherished patrons for how they responded.” Patrons had been taking part in Great Western Cup festivities and officials were preparing for the second race on the schedule when the fire started. As the fire took hold, patrons noticed black smoke and flames and started to hear the loud ‘popping’ of exploding car tyres. Ms Penfold said the club was awaiting a full briefing from relevant authorities about circumstances surrounding the fire. She said she had been in the mount-

ing yard when she became aware of what was happening. “It escalated very quickly. I take my hat off to the CFA firefighters and police onsite. They were so amazing,” she said. “To be honest, it was a challenging situation and the club and Racing Victoria stewards managed it very well. “I commend everyone in how they worked together through our emergency management plan. “We especially thank the patrons for their patience and understanding in what were very trying circumstances and hope everyone returns next year.” • Fire response, page 3.

Congratulations 2022 Australia Day winners Horsham Rural City Council congratulates its Australia Day Award winners for 2022.

CITIZEN OF THE YEAR – Susan Hobbs, Clear Lake Susan has been conducting funerals for more than 30 years in her pastoral role with the Horsham Uniting Church and more recently Horsham and District Uniting Church. Not all funerals are for regular churchgoers however, many are community folk and not all are from Horsham; many wider district families also call on Susan to help farewell their loved one. Susan meets with members of the family with much understanding and pastoral care, talks with them about the person who has passed away and prepares a service format that involves family members if they wish to do so, making each funeral personal and very special. Often, with these families an end of life visit by Susan would have occurred beforehand where a good relationship can develop with the family. The sheer number of funerals Susan conducts is testimony to her gifts in pastoral care.

Fire halts Great Western race day A

BY NICK RIDLEY

patron who attended a Great Western race day which ended in a fire has described the event as ‘surreal’.

Melanie Wade, of Horsham, who attended Great Western Racecourse with her husband Adrian and friends on Sunday said the fire started after the first race. “I left the marquee to watch the second race, when my husband yelled, Melanie! I turned around and there was black smoke,” she said. “We thought the race would continue but the severity of the situation be-

came clear. For about 20 to 30 minutes there were explosions.” Mrs Wade said she had not experienced anything similar. “You could hear the panic in the race caller’s voice. He was trying to get the public to safety,” she said. “People were running towards the car park trying to move their cars so they wouldn’t catch on fire.” Mrs Wade said Great Western Racing Club staff were ‘fantastic’ and emergency services were prompt. “I never felt my life was in danger,” she said. “The races were abandoned because embers had got onto the course.”

“At the end of the day, it’s a car and it’s more of an inconvenience. The main thing is nobody was hurt”

– Erin Witmitz

Mrs Wade said the fire had damaged some of her friends’ cars. “The most important thing is human life,” she said. Erin Witmitz, who attended the event with her mother, said the fire had gutted her mother’s car. “At the end of the day, it’s a car and it’s more of an inconvenience. The

main thing is nobody was hurt,” she said. Country Fire Authority District 16 assistant chief fire officer Bernie Fradd said the CFA responded to the fire at Moyston-Great Western Road about 1.30pm. He said the fire burnt about 20 cars. “There were a couple of minor injuries to firefighters and they were treated by ambulance workers,” he said. He said nine CFA vehicles, a water-bombing aircraft and Fire Rescue Victoria crews attended and had the fire under control by about 2.30pm. Wimmera police division-four Act-

ing Superintendent Paul Bertoncello said 12 police officers responded to the fire. “Police remained overnight until the scene could be examined by experts, who have now confirmed the fire was not suspicious,” he said. Superintendent Bertoncello said police would work with emergency services to review what occurred and how to prevent similar incidents. “Victoria Police empathises with those people who lost vehicles during the fire. It is thankful there were no serious injuries to patrons,” he said. About 800 people attended the day.

Event team struggling A Horsham group has encouraged people to embrace community and social events in 2022 as businesses cope with a hesitant community and uncertain events schedule. Horsham Agricultural Society has provided some insight into the obstacles event organisers are facing while trying to operate amid COVID uncertainty and a cautiously social public. Society executive administrator Andrea Cross said the events industry was one of the hardest hit in the pandemic and the stay-at-home mentality built into people’s mind early in the pandemic had re-established itself in 2022. “There is definitely a real feeling of anxiety from the community we would normally see at our events,” she said. “Ticket sales this year for our upcoming events have been slow compared with last year.” Mrs Cross said tickets to Horsham Agriculture Society’s 150km Feast on February 19 were still available, while last year’s event sold out in under two days. “It is a tough space to be in, when you lose income with cancelled events, then try and recover by adding additional fundraisers to survive and not knowing what’s around the corner,” she said. Horsham chef Stewart Neighbour, who has collaborated on a menu for agricultural society fund-raiser Fifty in the Shed in early February, said he was eager for people to ‘live with COVID-19’. “At some point we have to grasp the reality that we have to live with COVID, without it being detrimental to peoples’ health and business operators’ wellbeing both financially and emotionally,” Mr Neighbour said. Mrs Cross said despite business compliance with COVID-19 protocols, it might take people years to consider becoming more social again.

DAZZLING: More than 100 vehicles shone and glistened for onlookers eager for a glimpse at Great Western Show and Shine Street Party on Saturday. The show featured an eclectic mix of vehicle makes and models, some of which had been restored to original condition and others that had been dramatically modified.

Oval precinct funding wins approval M

BY DEAN LAWSON

ulti-million-dollar redevelopment of a Horsham City Oval-Sawyer Park precinct has gained momentum, with councillors endorsing a funding plan for the proposal.

Horsham Rural City Council agreed, at a meeting on Monday night, albeit in a drawn-out split vote, to push ahead in exploring state and federal government funding opportunities for a $12.8-million first stage of the project. The decision meant the council, if it had success in its funding applications, would reduce its $6.4-million co-contribution for the project to $3.6-million. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline had to use her casting vote to pass a 10-point motion involving a fund-

ing-application process and how the council would match funding it received. The first stage of the City OvalSawyer Park precinct redevelopment includes community facilities which incorporate AFL-standard change rooms, netball facilities, including two netball courts, flood lighting, change rooms and spectator areas and works to develop event-promoting infrastructure. The council, at a November 22 meeting last year, endorsed a concept plan for the redevelopment and agreed to seek state and federal government funding. It also asked that any funding applications and financial implications based on co-funding return to the chamber for discussion. A recommendation from Communities and Place director Kevin O’Brien on Monday night involved the council

approving an allocation of $2,856,792 in Federal Government Roads and Community Infrastructure funding and finding a matching $1,856,792 for netball facilities and $1-million for ‘event activation’ works. It also noted the council had already applied for $2-million for the event activation project from Regional Development Victoria’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund and asked for a go-ahead to apply to Sport and Recreation Victoria for $800,000 for netball-facility work.

Pending

The recommendation also included applying to the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund for $6.4-million to complete all of stageone of the project. Mr O’Brien’s recommendation noted that projects could only proceed if

funding applications were successful. If they were successful, the council would fund its co-contribution through borrowings and inclusion in a capital-spending budget across 20222023 and 2023-2024. Crs Les Power, David Bowe and Gulline voted to proceed with the recommendation and Crs Di Bell, who asked that points in the recommendation be dealt with independently, Ian Ross and Claudia Haenel were opposed. Cr Penny Flynn was absent from the meeting. Councillors opposed to immediately pushing ahead involved anxiety surrounding whether alternative arrangements for city oval tenants were in place and uncertainty in schematic designs and how that would impact on funding. Cr Ross: “I’m not against the project. But I am concerned about the

planning and the way it’s going. I have not seen any cost-benefit analysis and with schematic designs not complete how can we have effective costings?” But Cr Power was adamant the council should strongly push ahead with the funding plan. “We need these applications to go in to enable us to get facilities with the least amount of money provided by the residents of Horsham and surrounding communities,” he said. Cr Bell: “I understand value of leveraging and that it’s the only way to achieve big projects. But I’m here to represent community locally and equally. Yet all the funding seems to be directed to City to River project.” The council went through each of the 10 recommendation points individually, with each motion tied and requiring a casting vote to pass.

of term one and make sure they stay there.” School and early childhood staff will join a list of workers in key sectors who must receive a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by February 25 if already eligible, or within three months and two weeks of receiving a second dose to continue working in education settings. Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has advised a third dose would help ensure continued protection for this workforce, most notably individuals with significant underlying health conditions. Professor Sutton also noted that a mandate might help mitigate against the risk of outbreaks in these settings. The government has confirmed that with potential significant but shortterm staffing challenges in schools and early childhood services in term one, it has classified education staff as critical workers – allowing household contacts to voluntarily continue working if they are asymptomatic and return daily negative rapid antigen tests. Management and reporting of COVID-19 cases in education settings will also change. Schools and kindergartens will be required to inform staff, parents and carers when there is a positive case and will provide advice on any steps families are required to take. Mask-wearing will continue, with students in grades three and above required to wear masks – although they will not be required outdoors. Remote learning will be considered only as a localised, short-term last resort.

Rapid antigen testing for COVID-19 will be in place for at least the first four weeks of term one of the school year. The State Government also plans to provide more than 14-million rapid antigen tests to schools and earlychild education and care services, including 6.6-million tests in the first week of term. It released the details as part of a plan to keep education settings open while taking measures to protect students and staff. Students across the state will be back at school after a summer holiday break from next week. Premier Daniel Andrews and Education Minister James Merlino said the return-to-school plan also involved surveillance testing, ventilation, vaccinations and comprehensive workforce planning ‘to ensure a successful 2022 school year’. The government is ‘strongly’ recommending all primary and secondary school students and staff and early childhood education and care staff, to have surveillance testing twice-weekly at home before attending school or childcare. Students and staff at specialist schools also have recommendations to test five days each week due to the higher risk of severe illness for medically vulnerable children. The Victorian and NSW governments have collaborated on the plan. Mr Andrews: “Face-to-face learning is the best option for our kids’ learning and wellbeing – that’s why we’ve done the work to get students safely back in the classroom from the start

An Australia Day birthday present E

“Every year I have an afternoon tea with my girlfriends, a couple of glasses of bubbles. I don’t think that will change, other than I might have an extra glass in the afternoon”

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

very year Moyston community leader and Landcare advocate Rosemary Nater celebrates her birthday on Australia Day with an afternoon tea with friends.

Her celebrations this year are extra special, with Mrs Nater awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia, OAM, for her tireless work in the Moyston community and Landcare organisations. Mrs Nater has been secretary of Moyston Landcare Group for the past 12 years and was a board member of Project Platypus, a Landcare network in the Upper Wimmera Catchment, from 2012-2018 She was Moyston Primary School president from 1998-2003. Mrs Nater has been Moyston Progress Association secretary since 2017 and Moyston Sheep Dog Trial Club vice-president since 2003. She is the co-ordinator of the longest-running three-day sheep-dog trial in the state. When Mrs Nater received an email notifying her of her OAM, she said she thought it was someone playing a joke on her. “I thought it was spam – I nearly deleted it,” she laughed. Mrs Nater said she believed the award was more appropriately a recognition of the Moyston community than herself. “In my opinion, the medal is more a recognition of the community and if people know Moyston, they know it is not very big,” she said. “But a lot can get done because so many people volunteer or become

“It is about caring for your local area.” Mrs Nater said her birthday plans would not change, but might have a ‘double significance’ this year. “Every year I have an afternoon tea with my girlfriends, a couple of glasses of bubbles. I don’t think that will change, other than I might have an extra glass in the afternoon,” she said.

part of a community group. Everyone gives it their all.” Despite all Mrs Nater’s work, she said the most rewarding thing she was doing was being active with primary school children and sharing with them the importance of Landcare.

“They are great little planters. It is so important to get the kids involved in revegetation work or controlling invasive weeds – the kids are a delight,” she said. Mrs Nater said Moyston Landcare Group first started in 1989 and was

mostly made up of farmers, but had evolved to also include smaller ‘lifestyle’ landowners. “They are a great group of people,” she said. “Landcare is lots of things, not just planting trees.

Council teamwork a must

he curious manoeuvring of individuals in municipal council chambers has always generated a degree of fascination for anyone who has spent time covering local government.

We’ve seen personalities galore, political idealists, community advocates, academics, business people, average workers, farmers, family representatives and so on, all put up their hands to lead communities at a critical grass-roots level. Somehow this amalgam of humanity, regardless of backgrounds and persuasions, can be productive and progressive, especially when there

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

are qualified and committed employees working at their disposal. Considering the wealth of opinion and idealistic diversity local government can generate, fragility in effective governance and in turn disservice to communities and ratepayers is a dark hovering presence. The great bastion traditionally hold-

ing this unseen but ever-present enemy at bay is an uncompromising acceptance of an underpinning sense of democratic respect for people, their right to have a say and a controlled process to express a point of view and establish a position. Sure our representatives can have different opinions, strongly argue and even dislike each other intensely. But in signing on to be councillors, they also sign on to ultimately present a united front for the betterment of their communities. Unfortunately, we’ve had some clunky adaptations to accepted sensibility creep into local government

across western Victoria in the past decade. Horsham Rural City Council, for example, appears to be struggling to shake itself free of internal torment between councillors and obvious council alliances. People tuning into a council meeting on Monday night would have seen this in action as debate shifted into personal territory. To put it into a sporting context, municipal councils are ultimately teams. Teams, regardless of individuals, need to work together if they want to win. And we want our councils to win.

The organisers of Wimmera Machinery Field Days have cancelled this year’s event based on uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The event’s management committee confirmed the decision late yesterday. The field days had been scheduled for March 1 and 2. It is the second year in a row circumstances surrounding COVID-19 have forced officials to abandon the iconic agricultural event at Longerenong’s Wimmera Events Centre. Field days president Sam Eagle said the committee made the ‘extremely difficult’ decision because of community risk given the widespread impact of COVID-19. “There have been so many aspects to consider, but at the end of the day we have a duty of care to our local community,” he said. “We have exhibitors travelling to the region from all over Australia; it’s not just local businesses attending. “We were also concerned about the number of volunteers needed to run the field days and the potential impact of isolation rules in the lead-up to and during the event.” The committee worked with health organisations before making its decision. Mr Eagle said the committee left its decision as late as possible in the hope that the impact from the latest strain of coronavirus had diminished significantly. He said there was no guarantee this would be the case in time for the 2022 field days. “We understand it is extremely disappointing for our exhibitors, stakeholders, sponsors, supporters and community volunteers,” he said. “We are devastated for our local businesses that have always supported the field days.” Events manager Vanessa Lenehan asked exhibitors to be patient with staff as they worked through the process of undoing the months of work that had gone into the 2022 event.

VRFish chairman Rob Loats conceded Lake Toolondo was at the mercy of Mother Nature and regional water-management schedules. Mr Loats said he struggled to see a

future for Lake Toolondo if Rocklands Reservoir, its feeder storage, continued to fall short of a trigger-release level. He said a Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline agreement established a trigger level many years ago as a guide to release water into Lake Toolondo. “There has been insufficient water running into the GWMWater storages,” Mr Loats said.

“The Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline is one of the greatest bits of infrastructure I’ve ever seen”

Mr Loats said before the creation of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline, Lake Toolondo, similar to many other impoundments, was at the mercy of drought.

“The Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline is one of the greatest bits of infrastructure I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said. “Without the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline, we would be in dire straits. Farm supply would be in jeopardy and there would be no water for recreational activities.” Mr Loats said a positive aspect of the lack of water from Lake Toolon-

Miss Klimpsch, who grew up on a farm in Wagga Wagga, has lived and studied in Melbourne as an adult, graduating from Monash University with a science undergraduate degree and graduate diploma. “I always wanted to work in health and living in Horsham is a chance to get back to my country roots and experience working at a regional general practice for a year,” she said.

do would be less noxious carp. He said carp had environmental impacts such as competing with other fish for food and polluting water. “They were taking over the lake — having them gone is a good outcome in a bad situation,” Mr Loats said. He said Rocklands Reservoir was a good alternative fishing destination. “It is heavily stocked with fish.”

Ararat Rural City Council has launched an online survey to gain community feedback to guide redevelopment of Ararat Fitness Centre. The council will also host group consultations throughout January and February. Ararat council chief executive Tim Harrison said community input would be vital to the redevelopment. “The centre has served the community well. But it’s not up to modern standards,” he said. The centre has a 25-metre indoor pool, basketball courts, gymnasium, aerobics facilities and squash courts. Dr Harrison said with Ararat’s economy growing it had changed the way people lived and had influenced different types of recreational facilities. “We need to hear from the community about what services are currently working well and identify any barriers,” he said. The survey is available online at www.engage.ararat.vic.gov.au and closes February 28.

Late harvest for Best’s vineyard A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Wimmera winery is predicting a bumper 2022 as cool temperatures in spring and early summer pushed back grape harvest this season.

Bests’ Great Western managing director and vineyard manager Ben Thomson said the winery was confident the late harvest and steady grape ripening would produce fuller flavour for this season’s vintage. Mr Thomson said an ‘old wives’ tale’ used to predict the timing of harvest had come true this season. “Early Easter, early harvest; late Easter, late harvest. It certainly seemed to run true this year as the harvest will be quite late, it is not always, but this year it’s right” he said. “We are having a hot spell now, but December was cool, November was cool and so was October. In the vineyard today I haven’t seen a ripened red grape. At this stage harvest will be in April.” Mr Thomson said the cooler season and late harvest would allow a steady ripening of grape flavour. “When it is cooler, it is actually better. If it is too hot the fruit ripens too quickly and the grape doesn’t have a chance to develop its flavours. They might produce a lot of sugar, but the flavours are not there,” he said. He said wine coming out of the Grampians in 2022 would be a good product despite the unpredictable weather. “I was hoping for some rain the other day to freshen up the vines and wash the dust off, but it is so hard to predict the rain at the moment. I just have to trust my gut sometimes,” he said. “We also copped a bout of hail at Great Western but there has been less frost than there was this time last year. We have only used the helicopters

and frost fans over the vineyards a couple times this season, even though last year we used them something like seven or eight times.” The ‘downwash’ from a helicopter’s rotors, along with frost fans can be used to mix the air to protect the vineyard from devastating frosts that might occur on still nights. Mr Thomson said slow supply chains and staff shortages were also a constant issue for Bests’ as well as other wineries in the region. “We have our regular gang picking over harvest this season, which is lucky because we are not affected by COVID-19 and border issues in that area. We just have enough staff for vintage this season, but I know a shortage of staff is a real problem in the area,” he said. “Deliveries are a headache for us though. Our staff are spending half the time on the phone chasing up where orders are because it is taking so long for things to arrive and so long for us to send them out. It took four weeks for one delivery to arrive in New South Wales. “Everyone is playing the same game though; you can jump around about it if you want to, but there is really no point.” Mr Thomson was optimistic about food and wine coming out of the Grampians in 2022 and in the years to come, as tough times forced businesses to try new things and ‘think outside the square’. “I think there really has been some positives though. Everyone has had to find a new way of doing things, shake things up a bit. The ones who sat on their hands and didn’t try something new are the ones behind now,” he said. “You have to be positive in agriculture, whether it is wine or wheat or grain, you can do everything you can – but sometimes anything can come along and screw it up. You just have to roll with it.”

Canola security in Wimmera harvest A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Victorian grains leader hopes strong canola demand and prices can continue to provide farmers with critical financial capital to secure operations into the future.

Victorian Farmers Federation Grains Group president Ashley Fraser said he was unsure how long canola prices, a major winner for growers in the latest harvest, would remain at high prices. “We have seen some high prices this year for canola. We are going to have to maintain those prices if our input costs increase,” he said. Mr Fraser said grain farmers would not want to see canola prices go under $600 a tonne. “If canola goes under $600 a tonne, farmers will lose money,” he said. “Canola is not a cheap crop to grow.” In December, The Weekly Advertiser reported grain farmers were getting record prices of $900 a tonne for canola. Mr Fraser said broadacre farmers would most likely move into other crops that were less expensive to grow if canola prices dropped dramatically. “They will probably move into crops such as wheat or barley,” he said. He said the Wimmera-Mallee was a prime area where broadacre farmers had profited from high-yielding canola harvest. GrainCorp statistics showed about 750,000 tonnes of wheat, barley and canola was harvested in the Wimmera this season. Andrew Bell, who farms at Mockinya, south of Horsham, was among grain growers who reported a good season. Mr Bell grew about 200 hectares of wheat and 30 hectares of canola. He said he was now looking forward to next season’s cropping progam.

“The yield at home was very good and the price was exceptionally good for canola,” Mr Bell said. “I will be doing the same thing as I did for last season’s program, this year.” Longerenong College DATA Farm project manager Bryan Matuschka said harvest had also been beneficial for the agricultural school. “We have had a really good year. All the crops we harvested were above-average yield,” he said. “The elevated prices during harvest were a good return on investment. There wasn’t a crop type grown that we weren’t happy about.” Murra Warra farmer David Jochinke said frost had affected his crops during the growing period. He said he finished harvest about ChristmasNew Year’s Eve, and also noted canola had been ‘exceptional’ for yield and price. “We had a fair bit of frost damage in early October – that affected the quality of the cereals and the quality of the lentils,” he said. “The crops we grow out in the paddock have two main phases – first the vegetation phase and then re-productive phase, where we have seeds. “Frost that starts at the re-productive phase can impact the yield and quality.” Mr Jochinke said his plans for the upcoming harvest were to keep a strong rotation of cereals, oilseeds and pulses. “Most broadacre farmers would be financially happy with where they are at,” he said. Lake Bolac Gorst Rural general manager Cam Conboy said the wheat and canola harvests had gone well in the Western District. He said harvest was still underway in some areas. • For more agricultural news, see AgLife inside today’s edition.

Annual ‘Kris Kringle’ donation Wimmera volunteers have ensured necessary toiletries found their way to homes of people doing it tough. Horsham East Rotary Club provided $1200 in toiletries to Christian Emergency Food Centre last week, to distribute to clients. Centre client assessment manager Bev Miatke said toiletries were such an important and often over-looked donation. “When money is tight, toiletries and personal items are normally overlooked as lux-

uries, when they really are necessities,” she said. “Money is often spent on food for the family rather than extra soap or toothpaste.” The donation has become an annual tradition for Rotary members, replacing a yearly ‘Kris Kringle’. “It was originally the idea of former Rotary president Penny Flynn to make a difference in people’s lives this way, with small and important items that make a large difference to everyone,” Ms Miatke said.

“We appreciate the Rotary club’s time and support and we know our clients are better off for their efforts.” Rotary president and former Horsham mayor Pam Clarke said volunteers and the Rotary community embraced the tradition, which was a unique way to support the community. “It is all about cause and effect. These items will make such a huge difference in people’s lives and it is an amazing way of contributing to the community,” she said.

Crackdown following sheep attacks

orsham Rural City Council is reminding dog owners of their responsibility to control their pets after sheep attacks on a farm near the edge of the rural city.

Community safety co-ordinator Jason Brady said the council had received reports about dogs roaming along the river south of Horsham weir out of sight of their owners. “One of these complaints came after sheep were injured in an attack,” he said. “Most domestic dogs are capable of chasing, attacking and injuring livestock. “However too many people do not understand this or simply don’t take adequate steps to stop it happening.” Mr Brady said dog owners needed to take responsibility for their animal or they could be held liable. “An owner of any dog which rushes at, attacks, bites, harasses or chases any person or animal, can be fined $454 on the spot, along with other possible fines, and face having their dog seized,” he said.

“We are here to support the community and make it safe for everyone. “It is every dog owner’s responsibility to ensure their animal does not pose a risk to other people, pets or stock.” The council manages five off-leash dog parks in Horsham. “However, remember off-leash areas are public areas too,” Mr Brady said. “So owners need to ensure their dogs don’t bail up other people or animals. “Make sure your dog understands verbal commands and comes back to you when it’s called.” Owners face a $363 fine for not having their dog on a chain, cord or leash on a road or in a municipal area, unless designated as an off-leash area. Owners incur a $274 fine if a dog is roaming at large and the owner is not present. This amount increases to $363 if the dog is at large after dark. Mr Brady said anyone finding a lost cat or dog, when it was safe to do so, could check for identification such as a regis-

tration tag, name and contact number on the collar. He said they could call the council on 5382 9777 to report the animal as found. “Be ready to provide a good description of the animal and any identifying information,” he said. Mr Brady said council rangers could collect dogs wandering at large during business hours, however after hours, people must contain dogs for collection by the ranger. “This can be by tying the dog to a post or containing it to your yard,” he said. “However, remember your safety is paramount. If in doubt don’t approach a dog at large.” If community-safety officers impound a registered dog and it is the first time the officers have picked it up, there is no charge for a release. Horsham off-leash parks are at Weir Park, Jenkinson Reserve, Langlands Oval, Lions Park in Plant Avenue and Bennett Road at Horsham racecourse.

Minister inspects Stawell memorial Victorian Veterans Affairs Minister Shaun Leane has seen first-hand the results of State Government funding for the restoration of a war memorial in Stawell. Mr Leane inspected the memorial during a visit to the Wimmera city. The State Government provided the council with $36,370 for the restoration work through a Restoring Community War Memorials and Avenues of Honour Grant Program. The war memorial, an important ceremonial site for veterans’ events and a landmark for war historians and veterans’ families, is in Stawell’s Main Street.

Restoration funding involved two separate grants. These were $26,370 to clean Stawell’s First World War memorial and regild lettering and replace the cracked surrounds with heritage-style paving, and $10,000 to restore lettering and install floodlights and an interpretive panel at the Second World War, Korean and Vietnam war memorial. Northern Grampians mayor Tony Driscoll, council chief executive Liana Thompson and staff members involved in the project welcomed Mr Leane. Stawell RSL past president Geoff Reading, RSL member Russell Smith and Cr

Driscoll spoke during the official part of the visit. “The memorials have tremendous importance to our community as a place of remembrance,” Cr Driscoll said. “It is wonderful to see them beautifully restored now to fittingly continue our acknowledgement of the legacy of our war veterans and the sacrifices of our fallen.” Mr Leane said the Stawell war memorial was of great importance to the local community. “I’m proud the restoration will allow for the site to be a place of reflection for many years to come,” he said.

Feasibility study into truck route

ork is about to start on a feasibility study into the potential of developing a heavy-vehicle or truck route around Horsham.

Horsham Rural City Council is working with the Department of Transport on options to reduce the number of trucks travelling through the heart of the Wimmera centre. It has $100,000 as part of its annual budget to work on the study. Growing highway transport traffic that converges in a Horsham bottleneck and associated safety, social and general liveability issues, has long been the subject of community debate. Transport-heavy Western, Henty and Wimmera highways meet in Horsham and truck drivers, who often find themselves in queues with general traffic at various city-centre intersections, must navigate through busy business and household parts of the rural city. Horsham council chief executive Sunil Bhalla stressed the joint study was not about a Western Highway bypass of Horsham. He said it was instead about what options were achievable for alternative truck routes around Horsham. “Along with the Western Highway, many heavy vehicles are entering Horsham’s streets via the Wimmera and Henty highways and this provides challenges for both the trucking industry and our residents,” he said. “This study is about looking at possible routes for heavy vehicles that do not originate or terminate in Horsham, to travel around the city instead of through the centre. “This is not about a bypass. The Department of Transport has no plans to continue work on the previously proposed Horsham bypass.” Mr Bhalla said if the study found an al-

ternative truck route was feasible, it would likely include construction of a second vehicle bridge across the Wimmera River. “The council has recognised a second road bridge has been an emerging need for a number of years,” he said. For some Horsham residents, fires and floods have galvanised a need for a second vehicle bridge in Horsham. The rural city proper has only one vehicle crossing – Wimmera River Bridge that connects Stawell Road-Western Highway with the city’s heart. In 2009 a Black Saturday fire that started at Remlaw jumped the river on Horsham’s western fringe before heading to Haven, south of the city. In 2011 a flooding Wimmera River at one stage cut access between Green Park in Horsham’s south and the rest of Horsham. Mr Bhalla said the purpose of the feasibility study was to firstly determine any achievable options in developing an alternative heavy-vehicle route. “If there is more than one potential route, the second step would be to establish a preferred option. Cultural heritage will be a major consideration,” he said. Planners have scheduled to complete the feasibility study by January 2023. Mr Bhalla said if the study revealed one or more potential truck routes there would be further planning work including public consultation. An alternative truck route was a key recommendation in the council’s Horsham Urban Transport Plan, which it adopted in January 2020. The Federal Government has also contributed $150,000 for the study project.

CARDIO: Ararat Fitness Centre instructor Rhonda Malcolm leads an aqua aerobics class.

Fitness classes back in action Ararat Fitness Centre members have enthusiastically welcomed a return of aqua-aerobics classes. Ararat council chief executive Tim Harrison said he was pleased group fitness had returned to the centre. “Ararat Fitness Centre plays a vital role in supporting opportunities for our community to participate in physical activity, enhancing our community’s health and wellbeing,” he said. “The centre offers a range of fitness classes from free ‘walk n talk’ sessions and stretch classes to aqua aerobics – there’s something for everyone.” Group fitness instructor Rhonda Malcolm has been teaching at the centre for more than eight years. “Aqua aerobics provides cardio conditioning and increases pulse and breathing rates; it’s great for building strength, en-

hancing flexibility and improving balance,” she said. “It’s similar to land aerobics but there’s no impact on any bones because you’re in the water. We use noodles and light foam weights to amplify the workout. “We have a core group of participants and we keep getting new joiners all the time – we even have a member who’s been coming to aqua aerobics for more than 20 years. “A morning tea follows the classes and members really enjoy a cuppa and chat. It is a nice way to exercise and socialise at the same time. “I love teaching aqua aerobics and encourage everyone to give it a go. Monday and Thursdays are especially good for beginners.” Member Sallyanne ProvisVincent visits the centre regularly for aqua-aerobics classes.

“I was using the pool when I saw the classes and decided to join – everyone was very welcoming,” she said. “On average, I probably do seven to eight sessions a week. I feel your level of fitness improves without the impact to your body. “Rhonda is really great as an instructor – she gives you three different levels to choose from and you can adapt the exercises as needed. “You can do it at your own pace and take it easy if you’re recovering from an injury – you’re able to achieve more in the water. “It’s a very social class. We always have morning tea after the sessions – you get the benefit of being healthy and social.” People can find out more by calling the centre on 5352 1064.

Growing vision for uni campus A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Horsham university campus is set for ‘strategic revitalisation’ that aims to give Wimmera students a head-start on expected industrial growth in the region.

Federation University’s Horsham campus will form part of a university-wide 2022-2025 campus vision. University vice-chancellor and president Duncan Bentley launched the vision last week. Professor Bentley said employers needed more people with degrees in the Wimmera and the best way of offering students opportunities was to work closely with these employers. “We cannot afford to replicate entire disciplines from major campuses in the Wimmera, but we can use employers and facilitate a connection between campus learning and employment,” he said. “There is no other way of meeting the skills shortage in the region.” Professor Bentley said the concept for Horsham campus was a ‘learning hub’ that integrated TAFE and university learning, where programs could be designed around specific health, engineering and manufacturing industries in the region. “This gives employers the opportunity to upskill their own staff as well, to make this a joint activity,” he said. “Campus tutorials can be run with employers in the classroom, using contextual examples of issues they would be dealing with in the workplace.” The campus vision highlights the importance of technology delivering the plan for Horsham. Professor Bentley said using ‘better’ technology to connect campuses in the Wimmera to other Federation University facilities was a necessity. “Our approach is not Ballarat campus centric and is taking a nuanced approach,” he said. “It is all about catering for the needs of the

Wimmera community, not about turning the Horsham campus into a major metropolitan university. “What we want is to have a vibrant campus and be able to call on the network in wider Victoria, even to draw on the network in Queensland. The agrotechnology industry is very translatable to industry in Horsham. “It is really an integration of employers, the university and students, where employers are coming in just as much as students are heading out. “Whether it is manufacturing, health or construction, we want to make Horsham campus a hub for employers to trial new technologies that in turn benefit our students heading into these industries.” Professor Bentley said the vision for Ararat campus was to be a ‘research hub’, focusing on agribusiness with the potential to expand into advanced manufacturing by hosting seven research positions ‘producing applied research outcomes’. “Both campuses are an important part of our fabric and we want to be Wimmera people,” he said. Professor Bentley said the university would spend the next 12 months developing opportunities. “If we can get more manufacturing going, more industry involved, more agrotechnology for example, the development of Horsham campus will become a self-growing process that we hope will not peak in the next 15 or 20 years, but grow alongside industry continually,” he said. The university will create a Wimmera head-of-campus-director position this year with the departure of Geoffrey Lord. Professor Bentley said the new appointment would be a ‘TAFE-focused leader’. “We want to deliver more hybrid-degree situations in the future that cross-over university, TAFE and employer integration,” he said.

Generosity fuels tears The kindness of a philanthropic mystery man has brought a Horsham nurse to tears. Grampians Health district nurse Lucy Spasic fuelled up her work car at a Horsham petrol station. After filling up, Ms Spasic went inside to pay but the cashier told her another man had already paid for her petrol. She went looking for the man to thank him but as she made her way outside, he drove off in his Ford Focus. Ms Spasic said the generosity of the man brought her to tears. “The cashier told me the man only got $10 of fuel for his own car, but paid for mine to

be filled,” she said. “I was so touched by his generosity that I just started crying and I still nearly cry every time I talk about it. “I just want to get this message out to the community, so he knows how much I appreciated what he did. “For us nurses our workload has been so overwhelming at times and particularly in the past few weeks. “I have so many colleagues who are doing it hard and to know that there are people in the community like our petrol guy, makes me feel blessed and proud of what we do.” Grampians Health leading

executive officer at Horsham and Dimboola Catherine Morley said the great majority of the Wimmera community had shown kindness and understanding toward healthcare workers as COVID-19 cases intensified. “So many people are genuinely concerned about our team and the mystery petrol guy is a great example of the love from the community,” she said. “It makes up for the few who might not be stopping to consider the position of others before they attack frontline workers verbally or physically.” Wednesday, January 26, 2022

Australia Day 2022

Recipients humbled by awards A

“I thank everyone who has helped and supported me in doing what I enjoy the most – helping the community”

BY NICK RIDLEY

woman who has comforted Horsham residents in their most desperate of times is Horsham’s Australia Day citizen of the year.

Susan Hobbs, who has worked with Horsham Uniting Church, has led annual memorial services in nursing homes and is a member of Clear Lake Cemetery Trust, said she was ‘thankful, humbled and grateful’. “I am a bit overwhelmed to receive this award,” she said. Ms Hobbs works on her family’s farm at Clear Lake and has previously trained as a nurse. She said fulfilling her role this year had been difficult. “Conducting services during the COVID-19 pandemic has been very complex, because of mandates and restrictions,” she said.

Young citizen

A young samaritan has also won recognition from Horsham residents as the city’s young citizen of the year. Philadelphia Rowe has volunteered or helped with events and organisations such as St Vincent de Paul and has baked food for Phoenix Animal Shelter’s money-raising activities. She has also volunteered for Clean Up Australia day, Australia Day ceremonies, Anzac Day marches, Aus-

Community event

Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham branch has won

praise from residents for hosting the event of the year. A Commissioner’s Dinner and Gala event in April last year acknowledged the memory of the 170 Victorian police officers who lost their lives while

on duty. It raised $27,000 and with a combined donation from Woolworths supermarket, reached its goal of $30,000 to buy a neonatal resuscitation unit for Wimmera Health Care Group. The branch formed in 2007 and has raised more than $530,000 for medical equipment. Branch secretary Kelly Schilling said the foundation was ‘stoked’ to have been recognised. “We are very proud of our efforts to raise $30,000 from the night,” she said. Ms Schilling said the group’s fund-raising efforts had immediate benefits. “This money contributed to purchasing a new neonatal resuscitation unit for the Horsham hospital – and within weeks of arriving saved a newborn’s life,” she said. “We thank our sponsors and guests for their continued support with our gala events and look forward to hosting another gala evening on March 26.”

Abattoir positive despite shortage A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Wimmera meat processor has emphasised his optimism for 2022 as a worker shortage continues to cause production losses.

Frew Foods International managing director Robert Frew has reduced the Stawell abattoir capacity since late last year, from 6000 to 3500 sheep a day because of the worker shortage. Mr Frew said production reduced to 5000 sheep before Christmas, but further reduction in workers had slashed the facility’s peak production in half. “We have dropped it right down to about 3500 a day, it is all we can manage now,” he said. “We are still working, trying to look after our workers who might have COVID-19, but we know that it is not just this facility or this industry dealing with this problem. “We are probably still better off than most.” Unlike many agricultural industries in the Wimmera affected by supply-chain problems, Mr Frew said his abattoir had a steady supply of sheep and slow-production issues were only caused by a lack of staff. “It is purely a worker shortage at this stage,” he said. A shortage of rapid antigen testing had been a small problem in the past months, but Mr Frew said for the moment the company had adequate stock. “We were lucky to get our hands on some early, so we have enough of those for a little while,” he said. “We did have to ‘beg borrow and steal’ for a time there, but we have enough for now.” With a shortage of workers affecting industries across Australia, Mr Frew said the country

“We are over the hill now and we are not getting as many cases now as before. We will get back to where we were soon enough” – Robert Frew

would need close to a million more workers to fill gaps in employment caused by the COVID-19 situation. “It is not just an issue for us, but for everyone in the agricultural business,” he said. “Everyone I have spoken to is suffering from the same problems – there just are not enough workers. “Abattoirs in the cities are in the same position as us here in the regions. “While they might be fairing a little better, those abattoirs have had to navigate their way through significant more COVID-19 infections. In the end it is the same result.” Despite the drop in production, Mr Frew said 2022 was going to be a better year. “We are over the hill now and we are not getting as many cases now as before. We will get back to where we were soon enough,” he said. “We will continue to look for the 100 extra workers we want, which we think we will get. “I am sure if we chat in three months’ time, we should have real positive news then.” Meanwhile, Mr Frew said progress was all about getting through this period. “We are always positive; we know everyone is going through the same thing,” he said. “Everyone must support everybody else just as the people working here who are healthy and fit have supported us.”

Minister joins celebrations Local Government Minister Shaun Leane has helped unveil upgraded mobile library services in Ararat. Mr Leane, who joined Ararat Rural City Council officials for the unveiling, also used the occasion to announce additional State Government funding for a 24-hour ‘smart locker’ system. The government provided $120,000 for a new vehicle, now on the road and providing weekly library services to Elmhurst, Pomonal, Moyston, Willaura and Streatham,

through a Living Libraries Infrastructure Program. It will also provide $23,500 to set up the locker system at Ararat Library, allowing members 24-hour drop-off and pick-up services. The funding is in addition to the more than $67,000 in State Government money to upgrade and refurbish an Ararat Library building. The Living Libraries Infrastructure Program is designed to help municipal councils provide new or renewed library infrastructure to ‘strengthen

communities and encourage lifelong learning’. “We’re continuing to ensure local libraries have all they need to deliver the very best programs and services to their communities,” Mr Leane said. “Victorians love their libraries, and this is wonderful for all those living in Ararat and surrounds. “Libraries are a tremendous resource which play a vital role in community connectedness.”

Finding a rental a tough task BY MICHAEL SCALZO

s a newcomer to the Wimmera I am asked a reoccurring question: ‘So, have you found a place to rent yet?’.

Moving from Melbourne to Horsham at the start of this year was a new challenge for me. I was starting a new job and I assumed settling into this position and finding my way around town would be the first test. However, finding a place to rent was the first challenge I faced trying to call the Wimmera home. There are more people moving to the Wimmera than there are available houses. Waiting lists are long and rental properties are rare. Many real estate businesses in the region have no rental properties available in their portfolio and those that have one must select a ‘winner’ from dozens of candidates. On my first day in Horsham, I was on the phone to a real estate agent while having lunch at a pub, trying to organise somewhere to live. I asked if I could arrange a house inspection on late notice that afternoon. The agent told me I needed to lodge a rental application before she could arrange an inspection because of the large amount of house-inspection requests Melbourne residents were lodging. On a later phone call to a different real estate agent, I was told the two houses I had inquired about had applications accepted, even though they only appeared online two days prior. I was lucky to have my rental application accepted shortly after these

conversations, but I realise the same luck evades other people wanting to live in the Wimmera. Harcourts Horsham property manager Corrie Munn said the short supply of rentals was not keeping up with demand for homes in the Wimmera. “We are typically finding a shortage in the middle-range rental bracket, between $280 and $350 a week,” she said. “It means families are caught between units that might be too small and houses in the higher price range that are out of their budget. “Most of the people seeking rental properties are young graduates from the cities who have jobs lined up in the area, but they cannot get a home to live in because they are competing with families who have to squeeze into units.” Mrs Munn said there was also an increase in landlords removing their properties from the rental market and taking advantage of increasing house prices by selling off their rental investments. “Some owner-occupiers are even selling their primary home and squeezing the rental market further by renting during a new-home build,” she said. “With the housing market being very hot at the moment it outweighs the returns investors want from their rental property. “Potential rental homes are finding their way to the sales market and owner-occupiers are buying them out. “It is fantastic that people are coming to town, but we know that we cannot provide homes for them.” Mrs Munn said while share-housing

A PLACE TO CALL HOME: Michael Scalzo was excited to secure an affordable rental in Horsham. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER was one way people had avoided the decreasing availability of homes in larger cities, there was a ‘less active’ share-house community in the Wimmera. As someone who has spent nearly a decade in share-houses I was surprised to find this for myself when I started my search for a home in Horsham. I hope the lack of rental homes in the region does not impact the people who

are thinking of making ‘that’ move or accepting ‘that’ job in the Wimmera. While I have found a place to rent and have avoided the worst of the rental-home scramble, I am sure when I meet someone who has also recently moved to the Wimmera I will be asking them a similar question to the one I was asked. ‘So, have you found a place to rent yet?’.

Ararat crews still slashing Ararat Rural City Council will continue its intensive roadside slashing program this month in response to accelerated grass growth. The council’s roadside slashing program treats about 50 roadside locations across the municipality, including Ararat Airport precinct. Chief executive Tim Harrison said the annual program involved roadside slashing in the lead-up to fire season, starting in November. “The program greatly assists road users by improving sight distances and reduces the spread of fire, however, with a road network length of 2300 kilometres, the challenge is almost insurmountable,” he said. “Due to the late rain in spring, some areas were too wet to work on safely, but our crews have continued to carry out cuts across the municipality. “Having had such a wet winter, vegetation on the roadside across the municipality has grown quicker than usual and continues to pose challenges. “We’ve engaged contractors to revisit areas to carry out a second slash in particular areas, such as shoulders and drains, to reduce the amount of long grass on roadsides as well as our strategic fire breaks and township fire prevention cuts. “Our crews are mindful of the fire risk that comes with cutting in warmer conditions and take this into account when planning the days’ work. “If you see our crews out and about, we encourage residents to drive carefully as you overtake. The team is working hard to keep the grass down but we also want to make sure they are safe.”

Emerging from the pandemic V

ictoria and New South Wales saw their economies roar back to life as they emerged from lockdown, just in time for a new kid to arrive on the coronavirus block.

Omicron spread around the world seemingly within days, knocking Delta off the front pages. Appearing to cause less severe disease than previous strains, and with Australia achieving high rates of immunisation, state governments held off resorting to lockdowns in an attempt to minimise financial carnage on businesses and workers. All this battling against the virus comes at an enormous cost. The mid-year budget update forecasts annual deficits of about $100-billion for the next few years, no surplus over the next 10 years, and gross debt of $1.2 trillion by 2024-2025. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.6 percent in November as an additional 366,100 people joined the ranks of the employed. The under-employment rate fell two percent to 7.5 percent and many employers reported difficulties in finding staff. Homebuyers gained a little power over sellers towards the end of the year as a surge in listings saw auction clearance rates in Melbourne and Sydney drop to 66 percent and 73 percent respectively. If this extra supply is maintained it should help to cool what has been a very hot property market. The COVID-delayed climate change conference COP26 was finally in Glasgow, and Australia joined the large number of countries aiming to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Good progress was made in some areas,

such as reducing methane emissions, ending deforestation and, for some countries, phasing down coal. However, modelling predicts that if all current commitments are fulfilled we will still see temperatures rise by 2.4 degrees. Major energy users suffered from a big spike in the costs of both coal and natural gas during the quarter. Prices corrected abruptly in November, but still remained much higher than at the start of the year. Oil prices were also higher, nudging US$85 per barrel during October and November. Aside from hitting consumers’ petrol and home energy bills, high energy prices also led to an increase in the cost of, and shortages of, urea – a chemical that is critical to the production of fertilizer, and therefore food, and to keeping diesel trucks on the road.

Ups and downs

The volatility in the value of the Aussie dollar against major currencies continued for the quarter. It traded between 70 US cents and 75 US cents in line with its long-term trend. We gained more than 3.7 percent against the Euro and Yen, and held ground against the British Pound. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

Mural at heritage-listed Yurunga Heritage-listed Yurunga Homestead at Rainbow is now home to a new external mural as a result of a Federal Government Regional Art Fund grant. Rainbow artist Belinda Eckermann has produced the mural that tells the history of Yurunga Homestead. Hindmarsh Shire Council engaged Eckermann as part of The Quick Response grant, designed to help regional artists impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Eckermann has previously been involved in other public artworks in Rainbow. “I designed the mural to tell the story of the two families who owned Yurunga and decid-

ed to represent it in sepia-black and white to fit with the times,” she said. “Painting this mural was challenging due to the complexity involved in each image, rather than the scale. “There are 14 images, all of which are like a painting in their own right.” Hindmarsh mayor Melanie Albrecht said the scale of the mural was impressive and the colour choice evoked nostalgia. “Belinda has painted a beautiful mural that is testament to the lives of these families,” she said. “The mural captures many elements of a time gone by.

“It is an extraordinary work of art the Hindmarsh community is very fortunate to be able to showcase.” The mural is on three panels, which have been attached to the side of a shipping container used for storage while restoration projects take place at the homestead. It is visible from outside the property when the homestead is closed, but is best viewed in conjunction with a visit and tour of Yurunga. The mural also adds to Rainbow town murals, extending the Federal Street mural trail to Yurunga.

Top marks Popular family-sized SUV scores strong safety result in latest crash test

itsubishi has been rewarded the highest possible five-star safety score for its family-sized Outlander SUV in the latest round of ANCAP crash testing.

The result – which is applied to all petrol-powered variants – saw the Outlander perform well in adult occupant tests, 83 percent, as well as in side-impact and oblique pole tests, 100 percent, with a ‘good’ result awarded in frontal offset and full width forward collision tests. While the Outlander is fitted with a centre airbag, designed to reduce

occupant-to-occupant injury in sideimpact crashes, ANCAP said the device ‘did not meet its coverage requirements’ and therefore applied a penalty to the overall result. The model does not offer curtain airbag protection to the third row of seating, yet despite this omission, was awarded a 92 percent score in the assessment area of child occupant protection. ANCAP said it awarded full points for the protection offered to child occupants in both dynamic tests. Under ANCAP’s 2020-2022 protocols, a three-row SUV is not required

to have curtain airbags fitted across all seating positions. ANCAP chief executive Carla Hoorweg said the new Outlander offered an excellent safety package and was a ‘comprehensive’ offering. “Mitsubishi has clearly prioritised the safety of both vehicle occupants and other road users in the new Outlander and should be applauded for this five-star result,” she said. The Outlander also scored well in ANCAP’s vulnerable road user assessment with the highest score achieved to date, 81 percent, in the medium SUV category.

cle. Full points were awarded for tests of the Outlander’s lane-support system, including emergency lane keeping and lane-keep assist. “ANCAP exists to encourage manufacturers to improve their products with every new model generation released,” Ms Hoorweg said. “By providing consumers with the highest level of safety available, manufacturers provide immediate safety benefits as well as sustained road safety benefits for future owners and other road users.” – Matt Brogan

The Outlander is equipped with an autonomous emergency braking system that can react to cyclists and pedestrians and test results showed the vehicle avoided or mitigated such collisions in ‘most scenarios’. Good scores were also achieved by the Outlander in ANCAP’s safety assist area of assessment by virtue of its integral AEB system, which can react to other stationary, braking and slowing vehicles. Testing of the ‘junction assist’ system showed the Outlander effectively braked to avoid crashes when turning across the path of an oncoming vehi-

Auto expo preparations on track

aving been forced to postpone its planned 2021 Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo, the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association is pushing ahead to host the rescheduled event from April 7 to 9 this year as planned, again co-hosted with a Collision Repair Expo at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The event is the only exhibition to showcase Australia’s $25-billion aftermarket industry and this year’s theme of ‘The Workshop of the Future is Here’ will bring together the latest vehicle repair and servicing equipment, parts, tools and accessories, new technology and trends from hundreds of the country’s leading companies. Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association, AAAA, chief executive Stuart Charity said he was excited to be able to move forward with preparations for the expo – an event run by the industry, for the industry. “After a challenging couple of years for everyone, our industry is more excited than ever to come together to celebrate, learn, conduct business and network,” he said. “However, should COVID throw another curve ball that puts the safety and success of the expo at risk, we have a contingency plan in place to postpone the event to later in 2022. “Our team is monitoring the situa-

A modified and classic vehicle display will take over the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre concourse, the expo also promising celebrity appearances, interactive displays and competitions. “We are very excited to announce Repco has thrown its support behind the show, and we’d like to thank them for their outstanding support,” Mr Charity said. “We can’t wait for April to open the doors and finally welcome our industry back together. “We know visitors will have a fantastic time and arm themselves with the knowledge to thrive, ready for the exciting future that awaits.” – Matt Brogan

oyota Motor Corporation has previewed no fewer than five attention-grabbing new models at the Tokyo Auto Salon, including a sporty GR GT3 racer, a rugged plug-in hybrid version of the Lexus NX SUV, a hydrogen-powered off-road buggy from Lexus, the rather snazzy bZ4X GR Sport Concept, as well as an even more hardcore version of the GR Yaris – the Japan-only GRMN Yaris.

order was to develop a car that could win races. Toyota also debuted its Japan-only GRMN Yaris hot hatch. Developing 200kW from its 1.6-litre three-cylinder engine, the ¥7.32-million – $A88,800 – model is available in GRMN and GRMN circuit package variants, the latter with an astonishing

asking price of $A102,750. The now sold-out GR Yaris was available in Australia from $49,500 plus on-road costs. Toyota Motor Corporation, TMC, also showed a pumped-up version of its forthcoming bZ4X electric SUV – the bZ4X GR Sport Concept, which features larger wheels and tyres,

sports seats and off-road body cladding; an off-road-focused NX plug-in hybrid electric offroad concept; plus a two-seat hydrogen-powered off-road buggy known as the ROV concept, with a 1.0-litre three-cylinder hydrogen-fuelled engine and selectable allwheel drive. TMC president and renowned car

The Toyota GR GT3 Concept was unveiled by Gazoo Racing president Koji Sato and Toyota Motor Corporation president Akio Toyoda. The pair said the model would debut as a running prototype later this year and would compete in the global GT3 series for cars based on production models. With a long bonnet, pointed nose and raked rear-end, the GR GT3 resembles nothing in the current Toyota or Lexus line-up; instead, it draws its styling cues from a blend of the fourth generation A80-series Supra, 2000GT and Lexus LFA. Gazoo Racing’s current GT3 car is based on the Lexus RC F and competes in 24-hour races including the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Nurburgring 24 Hours. The new model is expected to follow suit, with Sato-san stating the first

Farmers: Work to do, but no staff 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

farming leader in the Wimmera has vented his anger and frustration at the impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on agricultural industries in the region. Government and bureaucrats were the target of his frustration, as labour and supply-chain issues have strangled the productivity of agricultural work across the transport, farming and wholesale industries. Victorian Farmers Federation Wimmera branch president Graeme Maher took a break from shearing on his Lubeck property to talk to The Weekly Advertiser about the situation. Mr Maher said a shortage of agricultural workers in the Wimmera, partly caused by a lack of available rapid antigen tests and supply-chain blockages, had left businesses with work to do but no staff. “As farmers we have worked hard to have produce available, but we cannot get it processed,” he said. “Whether that is fruit, meat, vegetables or whatever, the farmers have got the goods but no ability to process it. “Rapid antigen tests are a part of the solution, but it is a big-picture issue not being addressed by people who should be addressing it.” As staff and supply issues persist, Mr Maher said the focus for government should be on how to navigate

Graeme Maher the consequences of these shortages. “What do these processing failures mean for everybody? It is out of farmers’ hands now – we are already dealing with the medium term, not the short-term impacts of these problems,” he said. On his own property last week, Mr Maher said one worker was forced to turn down three offers to shear 1000 sheep because of the lack of available shearers.

“It just means the sheep do not get shorn. Across agricultural industries, the work is just not getting done and that has been the case for a while – it is not like people do not want to work,” he said. “Even when it comes to farming machinery, you might be able to purchase new equipment, but you cannot use it because there are a shortage or parts or tyres. These shortages then have a flow-on effect.”

Mr Maher said he was furious about a ‘lack of state and federal government guidance’ for producers and wholesalers to deal with these issues and was unsure when these problems would begin to reside. “I would love to know when it is all going to stop, but I think it is just getting started. Hold onto your hat,” he said. “We are not getting any guidance or any help from state or federal gov-

ernments, which should have a better idea about how long the current crisis will last.” Mr Maher said the shortage of rapid antigen tests was contributing to the confusion, but was only one part of a wider impracticality of COVID-19 policies unsuitable for regional industries. “Obviously truck drivers have been hit pretty hard and they are over it,’ he said. “There is a never-ending demand for drivers and they are working as hard as they can, but procedures and policies are changing so fast you cannot plan your work to a reliable schedule. “These issues have been ongoing for a while, but their results are more visible now because of wide-spread food shortages.” Mr Maher said VFF Wimmera branch had not yet formalised its grievances about these issues, partly because bureaucratic regulation and procedures were constantly changing. “We have not had a chance to really work it all out yet. We are after some direction from all governments on what happens next,” he said. “I really think the whole system is about to collapse, but for the moment we are trying to stay in business and do the best we can. “As farmers we are used to it.”

HIGHLAND-XT LENTILS REPRESENTATIVE: Minyip farmer Ryan Milgate will represent grower interests on VFF’s Grains Council.

Expertise and Passion

Minyip’s Milgate continues role

immera farmer Ryan Milgate and northern Mallee’s Christine Plant will represent regional growers after Victorian Farmers Federation Grains Council elections.

VFF returning officer Jane Lovell said it was pleasing the pair would continue to promote farmers’ interests in their respective areas. “The impact both Ryan and Christine have had during their time already on the council has been enormously positive,” she said. “They have both done so much to represent growers from their respective regions, and I am sure will continue to do so. “We congratulate our returning council members and look forward to working with them to achieve better outcomes for grain growers across Victoria.” Mr Milgate has been on the grains council for four years and said he was eager to start a

new year with the council. “I am enjoying the role because it gets you out and about and it’s rewarding,” he said. Mr Milgate said he wanted to take a stance on road maintenance, the high price of fertilisers and supply-chain problems. “Transport issues are big. We need our roads to be maintained and a lot of our regional roads are in a bad state,” he said. “There are a lot of roads in Minyip and Donald district where there are speed signs of 80kmh to deal with badly maintained roads – we need better-quality roads.” Mr Milgate said he would gladly speak to any farmers who had any issues and encouraged them to contact the VFF online at www.vff. org.au. “If people have any concerns, please contact me or the VFF and we can sit down and have a chat,” he said.

Invitation for ‘farmers and blokes’ Warracknabeal Active Farmers group is inviting all men to a social night next month to chat farming and mental-health. Warren Davies, ‘The Unbreakable Farmer’, is a guest speaker at the Warracknabeal Showground event, on February 26. He will talk about mental health and his farming journey from an eastern suburbs Melbourne boy to farm owner, commercial-scale farm operator and beyond.

ACCOLADE: Horsham scientist Joe Panozzo is the recipient of Australasian Grain Science Association’s FB Guthrie Medal. The award complements his 2015 William Farrer Memorial Medal for his contribution to the Australian wheat industry.

CALL 03 5391 2106

ou’ve probably heard it all before: Australia is one of the most bushfire-prone countries in the world and all the scientific research points to an exponential increase in major, catastrophic fires.

The CSIRO released a report late last year which concluded climate change was the dominant factor causing the increase in fires, with the average annual area burned growing by 800 percent in just three decades. The fire seasons are also getting longer, with some of the 2019 fires, which killed 33 people, starting as early as September. We even have a change in vocabulary from bushfire, to wildfire, to megafire. However you want to describe it, it’s deadly and we should be well informed and prepared. So, you of course have a plan, don’t you? It’s written down and everyone in the family has read it and knows what to do? I’m going to take a stab in the dark here. I reckon if you haven’t been near a large bushfire and seen just how frightening it is and how helpless you feel, you haven’t really got a properly thought-out, written-down plan and you haven’t done any research on what will determine if you stay or leave. The University of South Australia decided to put people to the test. It developed a simple virtual-reality program that gave the 400 participants a 3D experience of a raging bushfire.

Country Today with Libby Price

First though, they were all asked what their fire plan was and 55 percent said they would, ‘wait and see’, rather than commit to the recommended ‘stay and defend or leave’. That could be a deadly choice, because many people killed in fires are those who make a last-minute decision to leave and either can’t out-drive the fire, get caught by fallen trees across roads, or have to turn back because of traffic jams caused by others trying to do the same. The study concluded the majority of participants were ‘woefully unprepared’. The other big mistake was 68 percent thought the bathroom was the safest place to seek refuge. I’m not going to give you the correct answer. You can do your own research. I’ve reported on the deadliest fires in the past 30 years including Linton, Black Saturday and the Black Summer. Just about every single person I’ve asked, ‘having been through it, would you stay and defend?’, have answered, ‘no. It’s too traumatic. I’d leave early’. It’s not a case of better late than never, it’s a case of have a plan and live.

Award for commitment to research Horsham scientist Joe Panozzo has won national acknowledgement for his commitment to Victorian grains research. Dr Panozzo is the recipient of Australasian Grain Science Association’s FB Guthrie Medal. Dr Panozzo, who works at Agriculture Victoria’s Grains Innovation Park in Horsham, and University of Sydney emeritus professor Les Copeland, were awarded medals. Dr Panozzo started his career at Grains Innovation Park as a wheat scientist. He has worked on breeding programs and quickly developed an interest in creating high-throughput tests determining quality traits

in wheat. “Initial research into the field of near infrared spectroscopy was very basic compared with current technologies,” he said. “I realised by applying non-destructive testing, plant-breeding efficiencies could be achieved and we could test thousands of samples each week.” Dr Panozzo applied these techniques to test malting barley, oilseeds and pulses. He has maintained the application of multi-spectral image analysis research and more recently NIRhyperspectral imaging. “The development of image analysis and advancements in machine-learning languages has re-

sulted in the ability to rapidly test seed for quality traits and defects,” Dr Panozzo said. He said his laboratory research was on applying sensors to measure crop health and grain quality in fields, within grain-auger and storage systems. “We now have a team of talented scientists, technicians and PhD students all working in this field,” he said. “What was once a rudimentary instrument sitting on a bench in the lab is now a portable device that can be used in the field by scientists and growers.” The association presents the award every three years.

More pest money needed A

BY NICK RIDLEY

major Federal Government pest-control funding announcement has attracted a mixed response from a leading Wimmera Landcare figure.

Hindmarsh Landcare Network facilitator Jonathan Starks said he welcomed the funding, but the vastness of the issue needed a greater financial response. Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud, during a visit to the Wimmera, announced a $20-million package to deal with pests and weeds across Australia. State and territory governments will match the funding. Mr Starks said the Wimmera would benefit from funding to help control pest animals, but 32 weed species listed as a priority in the program were irrelevant for the region. He said farmers were in a constant battle with many other varieties. Mr Starks listed African love grass as an example. “All farmers deal with agricultural weeds, it is a constant battle to exclude them from crops and to have healthy pastures,” he said. Mr Starks questioned the Federal Government’s stand about feral cats being a serious agricultural

“There is a great opportunity for Landcare groups to help deliver the aims of this project. There are a lot of active groups and members, many who are farmers who understand the issues. It would be great to have Landcare working alongside the State Government” – Jonathan Starks, left

issue, but welcomed fox control as critical in Wimmera-Mallee agriculture. He said feral cats were more a biodiversity than agricultural issue. “Targeting foxes and wild dogs in this region will help – particularly in areas where livestock farmers are running sheep,” he said. Mr Starks said he also heard reports of increased rabbit populations affecting farmland. “Rabbits are returning because

of winter rain, you don’t want too many of them,” he said. “There is also growing rabbit resistance to biological control with calicivirus. “The virus has various levels of effects. “There are always issues with resistance with these viruses. Mr Starks said funding for the program needed clarity. “There is a great opportunity for Landcare groups to help deliver the aims of this project,” he said.

“There are a lot of active groups and members, many who are farmers who understand the issues. “It would be great to have Landcare working alongside the State Government.” The latest funding expands on the Federal Government’s $29.1million Supporting Communities Manage Pest Animals and Weeds Program from 2021-22 to 202425 to deal with pest animals and weeds.

Target rabbits this summer 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Agriculture Victoria and Victorian Rabbit Action Network are encouraging landowners to work with neighbours to plan a rabbit-control program. Agriculture Victoria biosecurity manager Jason Wishart said summer and early autumn were the best times to reduce rabbit populations. He said best rabbit-control results also came when landowners worked together and implemented management programs when rabbit populations were at their lowest. “With food scarcer during summer, there is a natural pause in the breeding cycle, so the time to act is now,” he said. Mr Wishart said control techniques such as baiting and ripping also become more effective at this time of year because rabbits were more likely to eat bait and the soils were more friable and better for ripping. “While there are a number of biological control agents in the environment such as myxomatosis and RHDV, calicivirus, they are not effective for managing rabbit populations on their own,” he said. “The most effective programs are those that adopt the ‘rabbit recipe’, which is an integrated approach using a combination of baiting, ripping and fumigation. “It is also critical to monitor rabbit numbers before and after your program to confirm that you are having the desired impact on the rabbit population.” People seeking more information about best-practice rabbit management can visit Agriculture Victoria website agriculture.vic.gov.au/ biosecurity/pest-animals/invasive-animal-man agement/integrated-rabbit-control or vran.com.au.

Ah, the lifestyle

hatever happened to the after-harvest lull? Finish harvest between Christmas and New Year. A few big nights at the local pub catching up with friends and telling harvest stories… yields increasing by the hour.

Maybe get the grain cleaner out, put it under a shady buloke tree and start preparing seed for sowing… in five months’ time. Then off to the beach for two weeks. February was pretty cruisy – you could even watch a mid-week movie or two. The main task was planning what to buy at the Longy field days. Depending on how good harvest was, there’d usually be one large item. Hadn’t heard of a chattel mortgage or HP, just bought what you could pay for. At the field days you would go around the tents looking for the best fertiliser deal and behave like an eight-year-old in a lolly shop when you found the big tool marquee. Then, hang out until Thursday afternoon, waiting for the ‘field day specials’. This year, the dust of harvest was still settling on the paddocks when in pulled the boomspray. We’ve all learnt how critical those few millilitres of preserved moisture can be in a tough spring. The trucks are rolling their way toward Lake Albacutya and bringing back loads of gypsum. But next week they’ll be going in the opposite direction, off to Geelong with grain to fill delivery slots for that contract. Second planning meeting scheduled with the agronomist and watching grain markets daily. South American weather, Chicago wheat fu-

tures, Russian export tax, shipping availability… all impacting the price we’ll receive for our stored grain. The work I do with the community bank network has led me to have many meetings with our city cousins during the past 20 years or so. I always introduce myself as a farmer from Rupanyup. Quite often the response is ‘that must be a nice lifestyle’. I used to go into a long explanation about how agriculture was evolving, the cool technology we applied every day and our awareness of the impact global events had on our business. Now I just smile and agree. Anyone who doesn’t now realise farming is a complex, demanding business being run by skilled professionals has no interest in what we do anyway. There’s not much time left for nostalgia in a modern farming business. But occasionally I do let my mind wander back to the shade of the buloke tree in January. The Wimmera wind whistling gently through it’s branches. The galahs making that distinctive sound as they try to stay cool on a hot summer’s day. The Hannaford seed cleaner doing its thing as we get ready for the next crop. Yep, that was hard work…

PLANNING: Back to Natimuk committee members, from left, Michael Sudholz, Elayne Uebergang, Ewan Hateley, Keith Lockwood and Graeme Hateley discuss celebrations.

Rainbow theme for ag show, back-to ‘Rainbow over Natimuk’ will be the theme for 150th Back to Natimuk celebrations that coincide with Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s 13th grand annual show. The theme refers to Natimuk as a ‘pot of gold’. The Back to Natimuk event is on March 25, 26 and 27 and occurs every 25 years as a combined celebration with the show. Show secretary Judith Bysouth said the event was all-inclusive. “It encourages people to reconnect to build a brighter and stronger community that fosters resilience and community health,” she said.

and a mystery prize for lucky early-bird ticket holders. “People can get an early ticket or have show-related questions answered by calling 0429 328 600.” Mrs Bysouth said people could call Back to Natimuk committee trustee Keith Lockwood on 5387 1457 if they had any queries relating to the back-to celebration. She added the society continued to raise money in an effort to buy Victrack land on the south side of Natimuk Showground. Mrs Bysouth said the society was $20,000 short of money needed and had launched an online GoFundMe page.

“Combined celebrations are shaping up nicely. A Saturday street parade on March 26 will assemble at the old railway yards at 9am and move off at 10am to music and finish at the end of Jory Street.” Mrs Bysouth said groups or individuals had invitations to register interest with parade organiser Katie Little on 0457 569 115 or email katie.little@ iluka.com. “Be sure to register for the parade if you are intending to participate. We’re encouraging anyone planning to attend the show to make it a diary date now,” she said. “There will be early-bird ‘Rainbow’ tickets available

WARRICK ~ Nathan Scott ~

20.6.1977 - 12.1.2022 You had a smile for everyone, You had a heart of gold, You left behind memories that we will always hold. Death will not part us, or distance divide, Forever and always you will be by our side. You never failed to do your best, Your heart was true and tender, You simply lived for those you loved, and those you loved remember. To hear your voice, To see your smile, To sit and talk to you a while, To be together in the same old way, Would be our greatest wish today. It’s not what we write, It’s not what we say, It’s how we remember you, In our own special way. “LOVE DOES NOT END” Mum & Dad xxxx

Continuing on our theme of Problem No. 1 - “biting off more than you can chew”. In other words, trying to change everything at once. Problem No. 2.- Starting with a behavior/habit that is too big. It has been said, “make it so easy you can’t say no”. New habits should be non-threatening. Start with a behavior that is so small it seems easy and reasonable to do it each day. Want to do 50 pushups per day? Start with something easy like 5 or 10. Wish you would read more books? Start by reading two pages every night. Problem No. 3 - Seeking a Result, not a Ritual. Focus on behavior not the outcome. Here’s the problem: new goals don’t deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is not an outcome, it is a process. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better rituals, not chasing better results. Problem No. 4 - Not Changing Your Environment – Rarely, if ever do people consistently stick to positive habits in a negative environment. You can frame this statement in many different ways, for example: It is nearly impossible to eat healthy all of the time if you are constantly surrounded by unhealthy food. It is nearly impossible to remain positive all of the time if you are constantly surrounded by negative people, and so on. Problem No. 5 - Assuming Small Changes Don’t Add Up. Aim to get 1% better every day. Nearly every habit you have today, good or bad, is the result of many small choices made over time. It is the repeated pattern of small behaviors that leads to significant results. Let God take the wheel, let Him be the driver of your life. Follow His lead and apply change, one bite at a time!

Wimmera tennis teams keen to go W

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

immera tennis players are ready to get back on court at the weekend after a Christmas-new year break in competition.

Clubs from all grades will meet for round eight of Central Wimmera Tennis Association competition on Saturday, with six rounds of the 202122 home-and-away season remaining. Eyes will be on a top-of-the-table clash between pennant sides Horsham Lawn and St Michaels that will hand the victor top-spot heading into the second half of the season. Horsham Lawn and St Michaels are locked on six wins each, with Horsham Lawn holding a significant set-percentage ladder advantage, meaning St Michaels will need to secure a win at home this weekend to claim top spot. Fourth-placed Drung South Purple will be hoping to bridge the gap to third-placed Kalkee with a win at Drung. The two bottom-placed teams, Central Park and Drung South Orange, will fight it out at Central Park in Horsham, with the loser at the weekend claiming last-place honours heading into round nine. In A Special, second-placed Natimuk has a chance to go level on points at the top of the ladder with a win over ninth-placed Kalkee, hoping for an upset win from St Michaels in its match against top-placed Horsham Lawn Gillespie. The jostling for top-four spots in A Grade

is heating up, as Haven and Horsham Lawn O’Connor stretch their lead at the top of the ladder, leaving a tight battle for the remaining finals spots. In B Special, Haven will be hoping for an upset against first-placed Laharum to keep it in contention for a top-two finish. Association president Jeremy Quast said the season was passing by quickly and teams were excited there had been one more round scheduled this season than usual. “We started a week early, to get an extra round in this week,” he said. “Everyone just cannot believe how fast the season has gone, so it is nice to make this second half of play as long as possible.” Mr Quast said while there were big match-ups scheduled in pennant, the lead up to finals was starting to heat up right across the grades. “In A Special and A Grade, there are four or five teams that could take the title, whereas in B Special, all teams will meet each other in the finals,” he said. Mr Quast said there would also be a simplified finals structure this season. First will play fourth, while second will play third, with the winners of those two games heading straight into the grand final. “It will be a big weekend of tennis heading towards finals,” Mr Quast said. “I am especially looking forward to seeing both brilliant McDonald girls, Steffi and Jess, lining up together again at St Michaels.”

Gymnastics club ‘optimistic’ Natimuk and District Gymnastic Club head coach Lynette Morrow is optimistic for the year ahead. Classes resume for 2022 next week for senior gymnasts. And while Mrs Morrow said the club had received ‘fantastic’ support during two years of COVID-19 disruptions, she was eager to get back to a more ‘normal’ training schedule. “While we are going to take it cautiously, the club is really optimistic for this year and our numbers are looking good,” she said. “We are starting next week with our senior kids and we have a really good waiting list as well. “All our seniors will be looking toward the Victorian championships this year. “It will be tough for everyone because no one has competed in almost two-and-a-half years, but it is just good to get going again.” Wednesday, January 26, 2022

Mrs Morrow said the club celebrated life-membership of two of its members at the end of last year. Anneika Hart and Robyn Perris were awarded life-membership at a 2021 display evening. Mrs Morrow said Mrs Hart and Ms Perris were ‘put their hand up for anything’ people who had been a part of the club for a long time. “Both have been involved with the club for many years now, originally starting when their kids joined the club,” she said. “Robyn’s girls have been out the club for years now but she still volunteers and coaches, working behind the scenes on a lot of things. “Anneika has two kids involved with the club and has been very active since they began – working on websites, uniforms and on the committee.” – Michael Scalzo

Pimpinio

Faith in the kids BY MICHAEL SCALZO

impinio Football Netball Club management believe the side’s young talent will be key to it continuing a longterm push up the ladder.

During a tough 2021, the Tigers’ football and netball sides struggled to deliver big results. New president Jock Baker said new senior football coach Clint Burdett had been given the challenge of getting their young talent ‘fit enough to compete against senior bodies’. “Clint has been focusing on getting everyone fit enough to play the game out, with a heavy running pre-season,” he said. “There has been a lot of long-distance running, with our top guys doing 15 kilometres a day. “Clint hopes to get the guys fitter than he is.” The club’s netball pre-season is set to start next week, with young talent leading the way into 2022, as they did in 2021. Netball head Renee Clarkson said with many junior players featuring in the Tigers’ senior best and fairest, the club’s netball development program had proved its strength.

“We have junior players who we think will play some senior games throughout the year and train with the senior side permanently to make them feel like they belong from the start,” she said. With Pimpinio football ground ‘domed, resurfaced and resown’ during the summer, Mr Baker said the club was setting up its players with the ‘right’ facilities to challenge the clubs above them. “We can’t go much further down really, but with a strong under-17s football side and such promising junior netballers, we will be pushing forward with faith in our talent,” he said. Speaking about the senior football side, Mr Baker said its next premiership team would be built around its younger ranks. “Our biggest focus will be handling the transition of our players from being junior to senior footballers and building confidence,” he said. “We have a four-year deal with ourselves to be playing finals.” Mrs Clarkson said the club planned to recruit heavily into the netball program in 2022, with discussion on the appointment of a new senior coach still ongoing.

VISION: Pimpinio coach Clint Burdett, left, and president Jock Baker will focus on transitioning junior players into senior ranks. The club’s netball success is also dependent on juniors stepping up. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Getting the gang back together T

“People think we have gone out and spent a lot of money, but we did not. People want to come back to their club, they want to have success and see the club do well”

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

he word coming out of Edenhope-Apsley’s football and netball camp is that 2022 is the Saints’ year.

After a tough 2021 Horsham District league season, the club has spent the off-season adding blue-ribbon talent to the senior football side. Coach Guy Smith said after the Saints ‘struggled bad’ last year, the club decided something had to change. “Last year was very tough and we pretty much played with a reserves side for most of the year and we thought we had to do something about it,” he said. “We have brought back some really talented locals to the area. “We have recruited past players from Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide and the Wimmera, and it was not hard to convince them to come – they all wanted to put something back into our club.” Smith said the club was confident of at least a top-four finish. “Most of our recruits are in the peak of their football career,” he said. “They are all talented players covering unique positions on the ground. “It gives us the luxury of totally altering our tactical approach from last year and will allow us to dictate terms across the game. “When you bring in guys who are

Guy Smith talented key-position players, inside midfielders and guys who will patrol the outskirts, you are able to do that.” Smith said his experience coaching inter-club teams gave him the edge in turning a group of talented players into a quality team. “Of course, when you have a lot of individual talent across the ground,

all recruited at once, it will be our job to get them playing together well,” he said. “But we have a good plan and I am sure everyone will follow it.” Smith said he was unable to announce ‘a couple’ of big name recruits, but was happy to share with The Weekly Advertiser most of the

club’s recruiting success. “We are keen to have the three McIntyre brothers joining us, Ben, Tim and Allan – former Minyip-Murtoa players and Edenhope locals, VFL players and Wimmera league medallists,” he said. “We have also grabbed ruckman Daniel Obst from Kowree-Naraco-

orte-Tatiara league; Matt Butler, a star from Adelaide Hills league; Tanner Robertson from Ballarat league; Joshua Roman, a big and classy utility; Dave McLeish from Geelong District league, Charlie Campbell from North Central league and Codi Kenny from Taylors Lake. “Really, we are aiming for a premiership this year.” Club president Carolyn Middleton said the club’s 2022 mindset began mid-way through last year. “We had a tough time with border issues and getting players on the field, so we decided to really work hard in that area for the next season,” she said. “People think we have gone out and spent a lot of money, but we did not. “People want to come back to their club, they want to have success and see the club do well. “With their families behind them, people wanted to come home because the town is important to them.”

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Fire despair at Great Western BY JOSH MILLER

he Great Western Racing Club went from dazzling to despair as a freak fire incident forced the abandonment of its once-a-year event.

As runners gathered at the barriers for race two at the 1210-metre starting point, a cloud of black smoke appeared from a distant carpark. The situation quickly escalated as a series of loud bangs – later revealed as vehicles combusting – could be heard across the entire course. As Country Fire Authority trucks started to roll in it became apparent the meeting was destined for abandonment. Club staff and officials did a wonderful job and their swift actions ensured both participants and public were able to safely vacate the racecourse. President Carl Barry said the club was thankful that no-one was seriously hurt and that everyone was safely evacuated. A number of patron vehicles were damaged in the blaze, but there were no serious injuries or damage to the club’s infrastructure reported. Barry could not hide the disappointment being felt throughout the district’s racing community, however. “It’s horribly disappointing, to get one race

in after 12 months’ worth of trackwork and watering. But we can’t do anything about it. Now, we pick ourselves up and move on to plan for next year,” he said. It is unlikely the meeting will be rescheduled.

Magnolia Rose

Stawell-trained galloper Magnolia Rose, $11, made it two wins from her past four starts taking out a 1500-metre benchmark 64 event at Geelong on Sunday. Settling in her favoured role at the head of the field, the four-year-old mare was barely challenged as she cruised away from her rivals to record a comfortable two-length win. Trainer Dane Smith was full of praise for his runner and believes she is nearing the peak of her racing career. “I’ve always had a bit of an opinion of her, but we’ve had to let her mature. She likes to roll forward, she thinks she knows everything, so rather than fight her we let her go,” he said. Smith purchased the daughter of Kermadec at Tasmanian sales as a yearling and is seeking city riches at her next couple of runs. “She’ll go to a benchmark 64 at The Valley over 1500 metres. If she goes well there, we’ll look at a benchmark 70 race midweek – I’ve always thought she was midweek class,” he said. Racing returns to Donald this Sunday.

Hornets at home in final round Horsham Hornets enjoyed a bye at the weekend before the final round of Country Basketball League’s home-and-away season. Lady Hornets play two home games in round eight, meeting Portland Coasters on Saturday and Surfcoast Chargers on Sunday.

With Portland just above them on the ladder and Surfcoast just below, two wins will help cement a top four or possibly a top three finish heading into finals the following week. The men’s team face second-place Portland at home in a battle for a top-two finish to the season.

Both teams are locked on five wins apiece, as is Warrnambool Seahawks, who play Surfcoast this week. However, a 10-point percentage advantage will give first opportunity to either the Hornets or Portland to grab second place come finals.

Opportunity to try squash

orsham Squash Club is encouraging people to use squash as a way to rekindle physical activity as society works through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Club president Tim Hopper said isolation and lockdowns had forced many people to get into unhealthy sedentary habits and squash provided an ideal ‘escape’. “We’re very keen to provide an opportunity for the community to get out, get the heart pumping and most importantly, get active,” he said. “The sport provides a great opportunity for families, friends, work groups and individuals to get active in casual or serious competition. “We have dedicated competitions, but members can also access the courts for casual hits, so it’s ideal.” Mr Hopper said the club would launch a membership drive with a come-and-try day at McPherson Street courts next Wednesday, February 2. He said juniors would start at 5.30pm and seniors 6.30pm. “People should bring a drink bottle and wear general sports attire. We have racquets if needed,” he said. “This is the perfect opportunity to try

a new sport or return to a sport people might have previously enjoyed. “We have upcoming club competitions with juniors starting on February 15 and seniors on February 16. There are various levels and registrations will close on February 6. “We will also have another comeand-try and registrations day for juniors on February 10.” Mr Hopper said the club also provided an opportunity for members to represent Horsham and the region at tournaments. “We have a masters competition coming up in the middle of the year that will bring about 100 competitors from across Australia to Horsham. We also have a junior representative competition in planning stages,” he said. “Squash has always been a popular sport in the Wimmera and it continues to rate as one of the healthiest you can play. We’re keen to spread the message and get as many people involved as possible, to not only grow the sport, but grow a great club.” Mr Hopper said people seeking more information could visit Horsham Squash Club’s Facebook page or call him on 0437 826 065.

Last week the Blue Panthers were all over a disappointing Tigers, which managed only 68. All-rounder Mark Mbofana, 3-18, Billy Foorde-Englesman and Bailey Young were primary destroyers with the ball, tearing an irreparable hole in what is now appearing a fragile Tigers’ top and middle order. Only Brenton Hallam made it into double figures with 23. The Blue Panthers, with Dan Clark unbeaten on 28, and Dylan Eats, 22, had to work hard get the runs, but passed the target with five wickets down in the 16th over. Homers are sure to make life tough for Rupanyup-Minyip this

weekend after it too made Noradjuha-Toolondo earn its win. The Pigeons managed to have the Bullants 6-115 after 20 overs and then had to endure their opponents passing the target at the game’s deathknock. Tony Caccaviello top-scored for the winners with 30 and a variety of others also made it into double figures after Matt Combe took 3-13. For Homers, Adam Atwood topscored with 31, Paddy Mills, 24, and Chaminda Gamage, 21. Noradjuha-Toolondo now turns

its attention to West Wimmera in a 4pm game at Nhill’s Davis Park. The game looms as critical for the home side, which sits out of the top four but still in the hunt for a finals berth. There are two T20 rounds remaining before teams resume one-day games leading up to the finals. Horsham association officials have also applauded long-time Laharum cricketer Ben Peucker on reaching milestones. Wicket-keeper Peucker claimed his 100th stumping in B Grade at

the weekend and also passed 7500 runs. This week: West Wimmera v Noradjuha-Toolondo, Rupanyup-Minyip v Homers. Last week: Noradjuha-Toolondo 6-116 (T. Caccaviello 30) d Homers 6-115 (A. Atwood 31; M. Combe 34-13), Rupanyup-Minyip 5-73 (D. Clark 28no). Ladder: Noradjuha-Toolondo 54 points, 1.62 percent: Homers 30, 0.99; Jung Tigers 30, 0.98; Rupanyup-Minyip 27, 0.67; West Wimmera 21, 0.90.

Nhill and Kaniva community football and netball clubs have rekindled preliminary discussions concerning a potential merger. Nhill and District Sporting Club, Kaniva-Leeor United Football Club and Kaniva-Leeor United Netball Club have released a collective statement on their directions beyond the 2022 season. They have announced that while all three clubs will continue as ‘separate entities’ for the 2022 seasons, they will have ongoing discussions with club members throughout the year about a ‘potential amalgamation in the future’. Nhill and District Sporting Club fields teams in Wimmera Football Netball League, Wimmera Hockey Association and Horsham Cricket Association, while Kaniva-Leeor United football and netball clubs operate within Horsham District Football Netball League. They said in the joint statement, “It is clear that the landscape for grassroots sporting clubs has changed over time and the declining and ageing population is having a negative impact on player and volunteer numbers of our small clubs. “We believe that this is the best option for football and netball to continue to operate in the region for long-term benefits. By joining our forces, we will improve the viability and sustainability of community sport with a focus on football and netball for the foreseeable future. “For 2022, we will continue to operate as separate entities and hope to experience success in all football and netball grades.” The clubs have previously discussed the potential of a merger, with a major sticking point in the past based in what competition a new club would play.

Hawks shore up top position B

BY ONE SHORT

uangor-Tatyoon has firmed as Grampians Cricket Association A Grade premiership favorite after comfortably beating SwiftsGreat Western.

The Hawks can thank their bowlers for victory at Tatyoon on Saturday. The line-up dismissed the Combine’s batsmen for the first time this season. James Phillips maintained his good form for the winners, taking 4-15 off six overs. He had help from Callum Baker and Zander McDougall, who took two wickets each. Having dismissed the Combine for 114, with only Marc Collins, 30, and Tom Fitzgerald, 28, making a serious impression in the scorebook, the Hawks posted 5-118. The team passed the target with five overs to spare. Main scorers were Riley Wood, 42, and James Phillips completed a fine double with 34. A high point for the Combine was Collins’ double of 2-22 and 30 runs. The result all but assured BuangorTatyoon top spot on the ladder. At Central Park in Stawell, Youth Club went a long way to securing a finals berth with a 32-run win over rival Halls Gap. Batting first, the Clubbers reversed their poor batting form with an in-

nings of 6-192. Jarrod Illig posted his second 50 with 52 in a knock including six fours and three sixes, and Matt Healy chimed in with 37. The Gappers recorded 160 in reply, Charlie McIntosh and Caleb Bretherton each with 32. Pomonal has moved into the four by defeating Chalambar in a close game at Alexandra Oval in Ararat. Batting first, the Tigers reached 109, with the main contributor Lachie Dalkin with 43.

The best of the Chalambar bowlers was Luke Walker with 3-9 from seven overs. In reply, Chalambar’s cause was hindered by fielding 10 men and their innings closed on 92, with Reece Kettle, 25, and Guddi Sing, 20, producing the best results with the bat. Clinton Mackley was the most successful Tigers bowler, taking 4-20 from his eight overs. This weekend’s draw features Swifts-Great Western up against Po-

monal at Central Park. The Combine will be anxious to return to the winners’ list and Pomonal needs the win to remain in finals contention. Pomonal has the bowlers in Lachie Green and Pat Fraley to worry the Combine batsmen but so far the batsmen have rarely backed them up. Last time they played Pomonal forfeited due to lack of players. Hopefully this will be avoided this time around. Halls Gap hosts Buangor-Tatyoon

and will have the job in front of them to win against Riley Wood, and particularly James Phillips. All Gappers leading players will have to perform at their best, but they can take heart in the fact the Tigers beat them just before Christmas. Chalambar faces Youth Club at Alexandra Oval in a match where Youth Club would love to consolidate third position. On Sunday, Swifts-Great Western travelled to Dennington to face Mt Gambier team College in an inter-association T20 cup match. College, 4-111, beat the Combine 9-109. This week: Halls Gap v BuangorTatyoon, Chalambar v Youth Club, Swifts-Great Western v Pomonal. Last week: Pomonal 109 (L. Calkin 43; L. Walker 3-9) d Chalambar 92 (R. Kettle 25; C. Mackley 4-20), Buangor-Tatyoon 5-118 (R. Wood 42, JU. Phillips 34) d Swifts-Great Western 113 (M. Collins 30, T. Fitzgerald 28; J. Phillips 4-15), Youth Club 6-192 (J. Illig 52no, M. Healy 37, T. Thulborn 25) d Halls Gap 160 (C. McIntosh 32, C. Bretherton 32). Ladder: Buangor-Tatyoon 45 points, 1.80 percent: Swifts-Great Western 36, 2.30; Youth Club 24, 1.19; Pomonal 18, 0.49; Halls Gap 12, 0.55; Chalambar 12, 0.54.

West Side Horsham

NEW BISTRO

Delicious coffee & cake

ork is complete on a more than $2.1-million redevelopment project at West Side Horsham, including a new bistro that seats 70 patrons indoors and up to 40 for outdoor dining. There is also a new entertainment room, bistro, the biggest Sports Bar in the Wimmera and the function room has undergone major wheelchair-access improvements. West Side Horsham general manager Vicky McClure said you have to see it to believe it. West Side Horsham is the only venue in Horsham that offers all four services. What was previously a small venue is now a major Sports Bar. “It’s incredible what we now have on offer,” Mrs McClure said.

The redevelopment, completed by Locks Construction and involving a partnership between Horsham and District Harness Racing Club and Wimmera Racing Club, was a project that took about seven years from planning to completion. The project build started in October, 2020 and with COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions the club managed to open the new entertainment area in September, 2021, only eight months after the first milestone date before the arrival of COVID-19. Mrs McClure reflected on the excitement as a project dream became a reality. “Watching the crane arrive to commence the footings was absolutely electric after so many years of meetings and hours of planning. I was compelled to film it

and send it to all board members who also shared the complete joy of watching our project start,” she said. “It still brings tears of joy to my eyes thinking about it – what a year for something positive to be happening at our venue while we were in our seventh month of being closed due to COVID restrictions.” West Side Horsham, which overlooks Horsham Racing Centre and the overall expanses of Horsham racecourse reserve from its Bennett Road home, now provides stateof-the-art dining and an all-sport viewing experience in a large inviting space for all ages. While sitting and eating in the bistro or having a coffee with friends, guests not only have full view of the

racecourse but also the use of a great-sized kids room in full view. People can also enjoy an outdoors dining experience, which also provides children access to a fullygrassed area.

You really need to see it for yourself!

West Side grants have provided financial support for capital and infrastructure projects at these clubs, ranging from equipment purchases and upgrades, to building projects and improving workplace safety. Many of these projects would have been impossible without these grants. West Side Horsham is also conscious of the positive role racing clubs have in working on the social health of communities across the region. It therefore provides sponsorship to clubs on feature race days.

Our goal is to strengthen local racing

West Side Horsham has been and will continue to provide freeof-charge function-room hire for not-for-profit organisations. We believe in supporting our community as much as we possibly can. Some would be familiar with venue tipster ‘Wimmera Wally’ who helps charities and sporting groups and athletes across the Wimmera by sponsoring or donating money after each race season or when winnings reach a worthy amount. West Side Horsham then matches every dollar for worthy causes.

Membership With now more to offer patrons, West Side Horsham has a new membership program.

Board members involved in the redevelopment of West Side are Kevin Lane, Kevin Pymer, Terrence Lewis, Justin Lane, Ian Nicholson, Max MaGrath, Loxley Hofmann, Penny Penfold and Shane Wall, with Mark Percival recently coming on board.
