A concept to establish an engaging outdoor learning space for students and parents became a reality after the artist worked with students to bring the project to life.

Students helped plan, dig, wire hay bales, concrete and glue tiles to the bluetongued lizard sculpture.

They are now grouting the mosaic part of the project from tiles donated to the school. Principal Ingrid Clarkson said the students would also create a lizard habitat using plants and rocks to complete the project before the end of the school term.

Zircon potential A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

n Australian mining boss has suggested new technology being developed for a Wimmera mining project has potential to be an industry ‘game changer’ if successful.

Perth-based mineral-sands producer Iluka Resources, working on a mining plan likely to change Horsham’s socio-economic landscape, is on the cusp of developing a new technique

to process Wimmera zircon to make it suitable for global markets.

The company has, since September 2018, been exploring the potential of a multi-million-dollar Wimmera Project, a mineral-sand-mining venture about eight kilometres north of Toolondo.

Company managing director Tom O’Leary said if Iluka had success in developing a solution to process the Wimmera’s zircon, which had issues with impurities, other commer-

cial mining companies across western Victoria would also benefit.

He said the project was one of three in Australia that could further leverage the company’s position in the global mining industry.

Iluka is also assessing the feasibility of developing Australia’s first rareearth refinery at Eneabba in Western Australia and an underground mining method to access the orebody more economically than conventional means at its Balranald mine in south-

ern New South Wales. “Each of these projects are potential game changers for the industry,” Mr O’Leary said.

“Balranald and Wimmera are each focused on overcoming long-known technical challenges. Both the mining technology we’re developing at Balranald and the zircon-processing technology we’re developing for the Wimmera have potential applications beyond these respective deposits, both within and outside Iluka.”

The company plans to build a miner-

al-separation plant and zircon refinery on the Wimmera site as part of the project.

Mr O’Leary said the company’s success in developing the zircon-processing technique would determine its decision to proceed with the project.

“Wimmera Project work is focused on a processing solution to enable zircon, which is high in uranium and thorium, to be suitable for the ceramics market,” he said.

Moves forward in bridge projects C

BY DEAN LAWSON

onstruction of a $2.5-million Hamilton Street pedestrian bridge in Horsham will rely on joint funding from federal and state governments.

Horsham Rural City Council voted at its May meeting on Monday night to assign $1.25-million in Federal Government funding allocated through a Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program and apply for the $1.25-million balance through Regional Development Victoria.

As part of a plan, the council will also negotiate and seek $100,000 from land developers for the project and be prepared to source a funding balance if the application for State Government funding is unsuccessful.

The nod of approval also includes the council going ahead with procuring the site for bridge construction and opening the project for tender.

The move represented latest council manoeuvres on the issue, which included a vote against applying for State Government funding earlier this year based on financial uncertainty.

Cr Ian Ross, concerned about a potential project-cost blowout, initially questioned the new motion based on procedural issues, but the council quickly moved on to vote in favour of the move.

Crs Les Power and Penny Flynn spoke strongly about pushing ahead with applying for State Government funding.

“This is an application for the betterment of Horsham rural city. This

is just an application that needs to be pushed forward,” Cr Power said.

Cr Flynn: “This is an essential piece of infrastructure.”

The latest development came as Horsham moved a step closer to also having an additional vehicle river crossing in the Wimmera centre.

The Federal Government last week announced $100,000 in funding for the council and Regional Roads Victoria to plan for a second river crossing as part of an alternative truck route.

Traffic bridge

Another traffic bridge across the Wimmera River is one of the council’s key transport priorities.

The council has committed $100,000 in its 2020-2021 budget for design work.

Mayor Robyn Gulline said having

additional vehicle and pedestrian bridges would be an ideal outcome for Horsham.

“The council has recognised a second road bridge has been an emerging need for a number of years,” she said.

“We know that many trucks directly service the CBD. But there are many more which arrive via all three highways but don’t need to be in the centre of town.

“On the other hand, the pedestrian bridge will offer an alternative to carbased commuting and will also create an additional circuit for cyclists and pedestrians exercising along the river.

“Horsham does not need to choose between a pedestrian and road bridge, we can achieve both.”

Cr Gulline said the council would determine a truck route and bridge

during the next stage of planning work.

“There are several locations being considered for the second road bridge and alternative truck route,” she said.

“The one place we know it won’t be appropriate is in the vicinity of the residential area of Waterlink Estate, opposite Hamilton Street, so having a pedestrian bridge there will not jeopardise plans for another vehicle crossing.”

Planning has identified at least 800 houses and 2000 people would directly benefit from a pedestrian bridge connecting Hamilton Street with Waterlink Estate.

“The pedestrian bridge will be much less costly than a vehicle bridge, and hence can be planned and funded more quickly,” Cr Gulline said.

Library honours ‘passionate veteran’ Zircon potential Horsham RSL president Don Pirouet has labelled the decision to rename the organisation’s military library in honour of the late Jim Amos a ‘no brainer’.

The building’s military history and heritage library is now the James Rodwell Amos Library, in honour of the passionate veteran whose legacy ensures the region’s war history will be remembered by generations to come.

Mr Pirouet said Major Amos, who died in April last year aged 89, started the Anzac library 10 to 12 years ago.

“The renaming is a testament to the fact he spent so much time here,” he said.

“It is a true testament of the man’s dedication to what was obviously a lifelong passion.”

Mr Amos’s daughters Wendy Davis and Sue Brown participated in the unveiling of the library’s new name.

Mrs Davis said she was proud her father’s achievements were being recognised.

“He would have been so proud of it himself,” she said.

“It’s just a great honour for a lovely man.”

Mrs Brown agreed the honour was ‘fantastic’.

“Probably the biggest buzz was when my grand-daughter came up to me and gave me a big hug and said, ‘I didn’t realise we had a famous great-grandfather’,” she said.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “She said, ‘and we’ve got a library named after him and I’ve told all my friends my family is more famous than yours’.”

Mrs Brown said she was pleased future generations would have access to her father’s passion project.

She said family members had discovered about 30 vintage cameras throughout her parents’

house, which Mr Amos had been collecting for many years.

“It’s lovely to have them at home now and every time we look at them, there’s dad. That’s fantastic,” she said.

Mrs Davis said the cameras highlighted his passion for photography.

“It also shows his passion for everything,” she said. “Every

hobby he did, he did it full heartedly, with gusto.”

Mrs Brown said her father’s passion was not restricted to the community or his various projects.

“That passion was also for us and his grandkids,” she said.

“He was a lovely dad.”

From page 1 “These impurities are a challenge shared by all of the fine-grained mineral-sands deposits in western Victoria – one that Iluka has applied considerable effort to conquering,” Mr O’Leary said.

“I’m encouraged by the progress we’re making in this regard.”

Iluka Murray Basin regional manager Dean Menzel said the company had ‘invested substantially’ in a processing solution for the Wimmera’s zircon since 2014.

“Without a processing solution, the impurities make the zircon ineligible for the ceramics market, an industry that uses over half of all global zircon supply,” he said.

Iluka believes the Wimmera Project has potential to provide a multi-decade supply of zircon and rare earths.

The company also expects it to create 300 to 350 jobs during construction and an additional 280 to 350 fulltime jobs for up to 25 years.

Mr Menzel said the rare-earth-bearing minerals within the Wimmera deposit were also similar to Iluka’s stockpiled rare earths at Eneabba and could feed into the company’s potential refining activities in future years.

“The critical minerals Iluka produces are essential for a range of sustainable development applications including solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles,” he said.

“Demand across this supply chain is expected to grow substantially over coming years as the world moves towards electrification and a low-carbon future.”

The company expects environmental studies and community engagement relating to the overall mining development to continue until late 2021 before it can seek government approval to proceed into a construction phase.

Baseline environmental studies and community engagement relating to the development of the project’s Environmental Effects Statement continue through faceto-face and online forums.

Iluka ran a face-to-face consultation session at Toolondo Hall and an online session in March.

People who attended the consultations were interested in noise, air quality, traffic numbers, road impacts, water availability and security, groundwater, flora and fauna, job and growth opportunities.

‘Desperate’ plea for educators A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

CARER CALL: Uniting Wimmera is calling for carers for its family day care program.

Cate Sostheim, centre, and team leader Donna Klitscher are pictured with Rhylee Booker, Olivia Deverall and Nate Oliver.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Wimmera service provider is in ‘desperate’ need of family day care educators to address a sharp increase in demand for childcare services.

Uniting Wimmera Regional Family Day Care team leader Donna Klitscher is calling on Wimmera people with an interest in early childhood learning to consider becoming educators.

Mrs Klitscher said she was receiving daily calls from people needing to place their children in family day care and waiting lists had been growing ‘significantly’ in the past 18 months.

“We have an extensive waiting list,” she said.

“We have about 30 families on the list at the moment. We’re desperate and we just don’t have the educators we need to help.”

Mrs Klitscher said lack of service availability in rural areas was forcing families to travel to Horsham for care options, where spots were also in limited supply.

“Edenhope needs at least two more educators to meet their needs. I get lots of calls from Minyip, Murtoa and

Rupanyup as well because they don’t have anything,” she said.

“Some farmers in particular have to travel into Horsham if they’re lucky enough to get care, drop their child off and travel back again.”

Mrs Klitscher said parents who were unable to find caring options were also likely to turn down work opportunities.

“It’s heart-breaking because the fam-

ilies are quite stressed when they call because they’re desperate and I can’t do anything to help,” she said.

“It’s terrible, especially with COVID, that they’re having to turn down work just because of childcare.

“I’ve also been talking to the hospital in Edenhope and they said they can’t employ specialists at their hospital because they don’t have day care options.”

Mrs Klitscher said people interested in becoming a carer had an opportunity to study a certificate three in early childhood education and care.

“This works really well for stay-athome mums who are looking to get back into the workforce,” she said.

“There’s also a lot of people out there who do private baby-sitting, where they could go one step further and register with us.”

Woman to face charges

Family day care educator Cate Sostheim has been working as an educator for the past 26 years.

She said her career choice was ‘highly rewarding’, providing care for pre-school and primary school-aged children.

“I started family day care before I started our family,” she said.

“I just love the reward of being able to work from home with my children while I was working and educating other children.

“What I enjoy about family day care is the planning – each fortnight we do planning around what the children’s needs are and where we can help them grow and develop.”

Mrs Sostheim encouraged Wimmera people who were interested to call Uniting Wimmera on 5362 4000.

“We need passionate family day carers who want to educate and grow with these children, but we also need to be there for the families and the parents,” she said.

“If there’s anyone out there thinking about doing this, just shoot a message across – it is the most rewarding, amazing job you’ll ever do.”

HUNGRY FOR MORE: Organisers behind Horsham Foodies Night Market at Maydale Reserve last week are looking at creating a regular food night market in Horsham following the event’s ‘overwhelming’ success. Horsham Agricultural Society executive administrator Andrea Cross estimated up to 2000 people attended. Mrs Cross said patron numbers were a clear indication of a growing hunger in the Horsham community for regular food and cultural events. “Given those numbers it demonstrates a real need in our community around food and people getting out and exploring what we’ve got,” she said. “I would like to think Horsham can deliver a regular event presenting local food.” Mrs Cross said Art is… festival was also planning to present a Winter Warmer Bonfire event on June 5, featuring a range of Horsham food vans, Wimmera musicians, artists and performers at Maydale Reserve.

A Riverside woman, 49, is bailed to appear in Horsham Magistrate’s Court on Monday on charges relating to a 2020 fatal road incident in Horsham.

Detectives from Victoria Police’s Major Collision Investigation Unit charged the woman following an extensive investigation.

Detectives charged the woman with fail to stop after collision – fatal collision; and fail to render assistance – fatal collision.

The charges follow an incident on Dooen Road about 5.50am on February 16, 2020.

A Warracknabeal man, 24, suffered serious injuries and later died in hospital.

Knowledge is power for all of us

A

n evolving regional development picture in the Wimmera has never more demanded that our municipal and community leaders be generally well informed.

And as individuals, regardless of how benign we might feel, we also have a responsibility to be switched on and to understand the many issues that emerge in day-to-day life.

There has never been more opportunities for us to be in tune with what’s happening and-or to gain understanding about a broad range of topics. Our multi-media world has seen to that.

Yet we can’t help wondering that if we posed random questions in the streets of Wimmera towns, just how much people would know about what was happening in their own neighbourhoods, let alone the state, country and the world?

Some of us attending community gatherings have on many occasions been staggered, while engaged in conversation, by high levels of community ignorance – often regarding aspects of everyday life.

We’re not talking about quirky bookworm type of quiz-master material – but basic general knowledge.

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson There are obviously many factors that impact our lives.

Time is a luxury for some who are simply too focused on work and family to try to catch up on all that’s happening – completely understandable.

But what isn’t acceptable, especially when there is supposedly general sentiment that our communities want to grow and develop, is when people are content ‘not to know’ yet more than willing to go crook when circumstance go awry.

There are many projects, concepts and ideas on the horizon in the Wimmera that could potentially change how we perceive, live and work in our region.

We must equip ourselves with enough knowledge to ensure that when involved in the much-flouted ‘community engagement’ process or other opportunities to have a say, that we understand what’s good, bad or neither.

For example, people in the Wimmera, and particularly Horsham, probably need to start developing an in-depth understanding about what mineral-sand mining on the city’s doorstep might mean for the district.

Or, perhaps, what a landscape where traditional landowners share space with many large-scale renewable-energy farms might look like.

But issues are much broader than that.

They should really know what’s involved in how water is supplied to them in the driest part of the state, who is in charge of our rivers, parks and other natural assets they want to use.

They should know about the complexity behind their municipal rate charges, how the health system works, who represents them in state and federal politics and how the political system that oversees their lives actually works – and so on.

The old saying that ‘knowledge is power’ still holds as much weight as it ever did.

We don’t need to be geniuses, scientists or even journalists.

We just need to be willing to find out and know enough to develop an informed position.

We must start taking notice – preferably earlier, rather than later.

St Brigid’s College year-10 student Claire Longstaff, right, enjoyed a week of work experience at ACE Radio Horsham. Here are her reflections on her time with The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations MIXX FM and 3WM. When confronted with having to choose where I would go for work experience, I was unsure of where I wanted to go, but an opportunity arose to go to ACE Radio in Horsham and I took it willingly.

On my first day I was nervous about the week ahead, but 3WM announcer and assistant content director Adam Roche and MIXX FM and 3WM content director, news journalist and presenter Emma Clark were nice and welcoming and really helped me through.

I was really excited to be shown all the interesting radio equipment and even more excited when I got to do some recording.

I was later challenged with some script writing, which I found difficult at first but once I got into the swing of things it became easier and it really was an important learning experience for me.

When I was given the studio to record some breaks I was frightened and I wasn’t sure I could do it, but as soon as I was in front of the microphone all my worries lift-

Duck-rescue team based in Stawell

A

nti-duck-shooting activists hope to establish a ‘rescue base’ in Stawell to deal with wounded waterbirds during the opening week of duck-shooting season, starting today.

Coalition Against Duck Shooting campaign director Laurie Levy said Wildlife Victoria, with its mobile veterinary clinic and volunteer veterinarians, had joined rescue efforts this year.

He said a rescue group would be in Stawell and be ready to deploy rescue and veterinary teams to cover surrounding wetlands.

He added that native waterbirds flying overhead were usually shot in the belly and ‘suffered internal and nerve injuries as well as shattered and broken bones and smashed legs, wings

and bills’. “Without the dedicated help from volunteer rescuers and veterinarians, wounded native waterbirds would be left to suffer slow, agonising deaths,” Mr Levy said.

“We don’t expect duck shooters to show any empathy for their wounded victims, but we would expect today’s progressive Labor politicians to show more empathy and concern for the suffering of the shooters’ sentient victims.”

Mr Levy said Coalition Against Duck Shooting surveys across the main shooting wetlands in Victoria had revealed ‘dangerously’ low numbers of waterbirds.

He suggested Game Management Authority might ‘have fudged the numbers of birds still in Victoria’ to

justify increasing a bag limit for duck shooters during a shortened 20-day shooting season.

“We believe the GMA used a helicopter survey conducted five months ago in November 2020 to justify increasing the bag limit, but ignored the fact that most waterbirds would have flown north out of Victoria following the floods in Queensland and New South Wales,” he said.

“The GMA had originally said its own survey was a ‘trial’ only and was never intended to be part of considerations for a 2021 season.

“Duck shooting is legalised recreational animal abuse on a large scale.

“The question is why do both major Victorian political parties continue to support this outdated recreational

“People have missed their rock ’n’ roll. This is the first big opportunity since July, 2019 and people just want to get back into it,” he said.

“We haven’t seen some of the people coming for nearly two years, so we’re all really looking forward to it.

“People are coming from Adelaide, Melbourne, across country Victoria as well as the Wimmera.

“The two bands we have are quite different and both have played here before. They have been well received and are back by popular demand.

“We also have a DJ playing between the band sets.”

Wimmera Rockers Danceworld has a core group of about 20 members who gather for dancing and lessons at Haven Hall at 7pm every Monday.

breaking the law,” he said. Game Management Authority announced last month its pilot aerial survey of game ducks over 650 water bodies in Victoria had revealed a higher than expected number of the birds across the state.

The survey found an estimated population of 2.5-million game ducks, leading to authorities increasing a sustainable harvest level for hunters.

Changes to 2021 duck-season arrangements included increasing a bag limit from two to five game ducks a day and removing a geographic restriction on hunting teal species. Other details for the 2021 season remained the same.

The duck-hunting season closes on June 14.

FRESH OCEAN FISH THURSDAY from noon

Wimmera ready to rock ’n’ roll Wimmera rock ’n’ roll enthusiasts will get their first chance to hit the dance floor in almost two years in Horsham this weekend.

Wimmera Rockers Danceworld will present its ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ event at Horsham Town Hall on Friday and Saturday nights and a barbecue gathering at Haven Hall on Sunday.

The event carries the theme ‘Wild, Wild West’ and features bands Honkytonk Rockers from Melbourne on Friday night and The Lincolns from Adelaide on Saturday night.

Friday night music and dancing will be a traditional rock ’n’ roll event and Saturday night will be a dress-up feature.

The event was sold out six months ago and only limited access for patrons desperate to attend remains.

Wimmera Rockers Danceworld president John Finn said the sell-out was a clear message that people were keen to resume the fun and dancing of rock ’n’ roll.

“Victorian governments continue to allocate millions of taxpayer dollars to prop up a dying activity for a dwindling number of duck shooters who make up only 0.2 percent of all Victorians. Yet no government money has ever been spent for the rescue and veterinary care of the tens-ofthousands of wounded victims that shooters always leave behind.”

Victoria Police Acting Superintendent Paul Marshall said Victoria Police respected the rights of the community to express views peacefully and lawfully.

Councils winners in power deal A

Wimmera development leader believes a cost-saving scheme involving 46 municipal councils, including Horsham and Ararat, is a prime example of how renewable energy will shape Victoria’s future.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said a Victorian Energy Collaboration, VECO, reflected just one of the many benefits of a burgeoning renewableenergy industry.

“One, it shows how a dividend and benefits can be shared between western Victorian shires and two, the value of councils coming together and shopping as a collective,” he said.

VECO, which involves participating councils tapping into electricity generated by Murra Warra II wind farm and Dundonnell wind farm near Mortlake, is the largest emissions-reduction local government project in Australian history.

The arrangement, through retailer Red Energy, involves participating

councils pooling their energy contracts into a renewable-energy deal for the equivalent power needed to power 48,000 households, or 45 percent of all Victorian council electricity needs.

Mr Sounness said the partnership was about having access to effective and reliable power ‘generated locally and used locally’.

“It is particularly advantageous, in this circumstance, for larger municipalities to get the full value of what’s on offer,” he said.

“But there will also be future opportunities for more councils to come on board when the timing is right and as the industry continues to evolve.”

Horsham Rural City Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said expectations were that VECO would save the council up to $100,000 on its annual electricity bill.

“This is a win-win for all – clean renewable energy, reduced electricity costs for the council and support of an important local industry set for expansion by June 2022,” he said.

“Rather than source electricity individually, the partnership allows the council to purchase renewable energy at a very competitive price, saving up to 25 percent of our electricity costs and gaining value for money for our ratepayers”

– Tim Harrison

The deal is for 240 GWh of electricity over a period of nine and a half years, starting July 1, 2021.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison recognised the ‘power of collaboration’ at the core of the arrangement.

“This project enables us to secure electricity at a significantly reduced rate via a collective power-purchasing agreement with Red Energy,” he said.

“Rather than source electricity individually, the partnership allows the council to purchase renewable energy at a very competitive price, saving up

to 25 percent of our electricity costs and gaining value for money for our ratepayers.

“It makes good sense; it’ll reduce the council’s carbon footprint and power bills.

“Every dollar saved is a dollar we can spend improving our roads, community spaces and services.”

From July, both councils will power council-owned infrastructure from renewable energy, including streetlights and sporting and community facilities.

“Given our size we don’t have the competitive buying power but together, we can take the lead with renewable energy and make better choices for our community and future generations,” Dr Harrison said.

“Agreements like this help support large-scale renewable-energy facilities, meaning more local jobs, better community infrastructure and opportunities for growth.”

Snowy Hydro owns and operates Melbourne-based energy retailer Red Energy and local government collec-

FIVE-DAY forecast

tive Regional Victorian Greenhouse Alliances is overseeing the project.

Red Energy chief executive Iain Graham said Red Energy was Victorian ‘born and bred’ and the company was excited to be a part of a project that supported Victorian councils, their ratepayers and two new Victorian wind farms.

“Our owner Snowy Hydro has been a leader in renewable generation for decades and Red Energy is delighted to partner with Victorian councils to provide a long-term energy contract that will enable councils to purchase renewable energy at a competitive price,” he said.

Dundonnell wind farm started exporting power to the electricity grid in March last year, and Murra Warra II wind farm will be fully operational

by June 2022.

All power generated by RES Australia’s Murra Warra II wind farm, which is creating 150 jobs during construction as well as permanent jobs when operational, will go towards the VECO deal.

Organiser and college year six-to-seven transition co-ordinator Heather Deayton said the event went well, with students from Horsham, Horsham West and Haven, Natimuk and Laharum primary schools attending. Holy Trinity Lutheran College and St Malachy’s School Edenhope also participated, but Ss Michael and John’s students were unavailable this year due to a school camp. St Malachy’s Beta won the overall Maths Olympics, with HTLC team one winning the first session and HTLC team two winning the second session. West team one triumphed in session three, which created plenty of excitement as students had to run to receive their questions and have their answers marked. Horsham College yearnine students helped with adjudication and record keeping. Pictured in action during the third session is Horsham Primary School’s Chase Whelan.

PRIZES GALORE: Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary members Jenny Gilmartin, left, and Claire Batchelor prepare to launch the organisation’s winter raffle at Horsham Plaza on Monday.

Supporting community W

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

inners of a raffle raising money for the region’s palliative care patients will be able to buy up big in a Horsham shopping spree.

Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary will launch one of its major fundraisers for the year, a winter raffle, on Monday.

Members will be selling tickets at Horsham Plaza, with winners drawn at the shopping centre on July 30 at noon.

Auxiliary president Lea Crammond said the group was excited to offer a prize pool of $2750.

First prize is $1500 of Shop Horsham vouchers, with second prize $700 of Shop Horsham vouchers.

Third prize is Shop Horsham vouchers totalling $200 and a $100 gift voucher for Wade’s, with the fourth prize-winner to take home a $250 voucher for Robertson’s Furniture.

“It was always our aim to support our local businesses, so purchasing Shop Horsham vouchers as prizes seemed the perfect way to

support the community,” Mrs Crammond said.

She said auxiliary members were excited to resume fundraising activities in 2021 after being unable to do so last year.

“So naturally, we are hoping for a fantastic response from the public,” she said.

“All money raised remains in our area for specific use in purchasing or leasing palliative care equipment.

“This is provided at no charge to the patient, which enables them to stay in their own environment much longer and with greater comfort.”

Mrs Crammond said she considered it a privilege to offer the service to the region.

“Proudly, the auxiliary has been contributing in this way for 30 years, supporting the palliative care nurses at Wimmera Health Care Group,” she said.

“Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary works diligently behind the scenes and is intent on being able to provide where necessary to those in most need.

“I’m really proud of the team of ladies – no challenge is too big.”

Hospital decision drawing closer TRAIN

E

BY DYLAN DE JONG

denhope district residents can expect a final decision on a merger proposal between Edenhope hospital and Ballarat Health Services in early July.

Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital has been working with Victorian consultancy firm Cube Group to uncover how a partnership, including voluntary amalgamation with Ballarat, could benefit their respective communities.

The controversial proposal based on merger talks between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services launched last year has attracted interest from Stawell Regional Health and Edenhope hospital.

Hospital chief executive Andrew Saunders said a community consultation period ending late last week represented a step closer to the decision.

He said more than 400 people had provided feedback on a strengthening partnerships survey as part of the consultation process.

“We’ve had really positive feedback from most members of our community,” he said.

“The majority of people want a really strong health service and services in the community.

“I could count on one hand how many people thought the proposal was a bad idea or were concerned.”

Mr Saunders said people who were against voluntary amalgamation between the health services were concerned it could lead to a decay in health care provision.

“There was a feeling from some people that this was a takeover from Ballarat,” he said.

“We can assure them it is not a takeover – that’s a message that has perhaps been lost.

“It’s not like a forced amalgamation from back in the ’80s and ’90s between shire councils – this is a voluntary amalgamation.

“Instead of Ballarat Health Services running

Edenhope, it would actually be Edenhope, Stawell, Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat all sitting underneath a new organisational entity.

“The priority of the health organisations would be to deliver great health outcomes for our rural communities.”

Mayors from six Wimmera-Mallee municipalities hope to gain clarification about regional health-care plans during a digital meeting with Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley this week.

The mayors, representing Horsham, Northern Grampians, Hindmarsh, Yarriambiack, West Wimmera and Buloke municipalities want State Government guarantees that any proposals will strengthen and not diminish services across far western Victoria.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy plans to present a petition against a merger between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services to State Parliament this week.

The Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital board of directors will use information gathered from the consultation period to make its decision about what a partnership model would look like moving forward.

Mr Saunders said the hospital had experienced a 75 percent reduction in demand for services in the past 15 years.

He said entering a partnership deal would create new opportunities for clinical staff and allow the hospital to accept patients from other health services when beds were full.

“That would mean bringing people back to Edenhope for post-operative care and making sure everyone had a bed when they needed it,” he said.

“It will also take a bit of that burden off Wimmera Health Care Group, which is often at maximum capacity while we’re often empty.”

GOOD READS: Horsham College Chaplaincy Committee chair Yolande Grosser, with students, from left, Jackson Plevey, Lukas Wilson and Jalen Simshauser, prepare for the return of the committee’s book fair on Friday and Saturday. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Chaplaincy book fair is back Second-hand books galore will be up for grabs at Horsham College’s Maroske hall on Friday when Horsham College Chaplaincy Committee’s book fair returns.

The fair, which will continue until noon Saturday, will be the committee’s first public moneyraising event in more than a year.

The committee has 10,000 donated books on ‘every topic under the sun’ for sale at $1 each.

Committee chair Yolande Grosser said all were welcome at the fair and all necessary COVIDsafe measures would be in place, including QRcode scanning on entry, hand-sanitising stations, adequate ventilation and regular cleaning of high-touch surfaces by a COVID marshall, ensuring visitors felt safe at all times.

She said she was excited to start exchanging books again, particularly with the colder months arriving.

“There’s nothing quite as comforting as snuggling up near the fire with a good book in winter,” she said.

“We have books on almost everything at the book fair, including children’s books and magWednesday, May 26, 2021

azines, which are only 50 cents each, so we are confident that everyone will find something they can afford that interests them.”

An organising committee is also happy to be involved in recycling of pre-loved books, but stressed it could not receive additional donations until after the event was over because storage space was at full capacity.

Mrs Grosser said there would be no catering on site in 2021, but patrons would still be able to access a ‘cuppa’ while browsing for treasures in the collection of reading material, categorised by John and Marylou Spehr and Neville and Faye Smith.

The committee, in acknowledging the help of Wastebusters, which recycles tattered books and magazines, Rotary who collect unsold children’s books for needy children and Apex, for helping with the pack-up of the event, encouraged attendees to bring their gold-coin collections.

Money raised supports the role of Horsham College chaplains in a wellbeing team, helping students across a secondary school of more than 1000 teenage students.

Clampdown on cats Horsham residents who allow their pet cats to roam streets at night are likely to face penalties as part of a clampdown.

Under Horsham Rural City Council rules, owners must have their pets microchipped, registered and contained between sunset and sunrise.

The council has reported an increase in the number of cats at large, prompting its community safety unit to increase targeted patrols.

Council communities and place director Kevin O’Brien said the community safety unit would be stringently enforcing the legislation due to the high amount of damage cats were causing, particularly to native wildlife.

“If a cat is found wandering and is not identified, it is seized and impounded. Owners usually have to pay a fine when reclaiming their cat from the council pound,” he said.

“Microchipped pets found wandering as a first offence are often given more leniency, but the increase in cats at large in recent months has the council concerned.”

Mr O’Brien said the community safety unit was also issuing infringements for unregistered animals.

“Please ensure your registrations are paid. Registrations were due by April 10 this year,” he said.

Live music plan unveiled

BY DYLAN DE JONG

E

vent promoters in Horsham are confident a live-music event at the weekend will be the first of many if community support remains strong.

Horsham Town Hall events and performances co-ordinator Shana Miatke said the success of a gig featuring Horsham and Melbourne bands was likely to set a template for bi-monthly live-music events in the rural city.

Indie-surf-rock two-piece band Travalley, featuring brothers Levi and Sam Mellington, originally from Horsham, played to a crowd of more than 130 people at the town hall late Saturday, with two other Melbourne-based support acts.

Ms Miatke said she was working with industry leaders and national youth broadcaster Triple J to develop a schedule for a regular ‘Horsham Town Hall Live Music Sessions’ event.

“We’re doing a bit of research in the music scene around here to identify what acts we can get to play and we’re trying to reach out to whoever we can,” she said.

“Ultimately our priority is to support local acts. But we are hoping to get a variety of music, which won’t always be available locally.”

Ms Miatke said town hall leaders were busy planning an event for July following the weekend performance.

“We’re looking at doing this every two months, but if the demand is there and we get the numbers we will look at sched-

PROMISING START: A crowd of more than 130 people supported indie-surf-rock band Travalley at the weekend for what entertainment leaders say might be the first of many livemusic events to return to Horsham Town Hall this year. uling it more often,” she said.

“We are already talking to some local bands for the next event. When we get more confirmation from the bands, we will start promoting.”

Ms Miatke said plans to reactivate live-music opportunities were based on an audience development project town hall leaders completed that determined there was ‘high demand’ for events in the Wimmera.

“We thought if we can fill that gap then we would like to step up and support some of our locals in the region and create something a bit different,” she said.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic we also identified that we probably have better access to be able to host live-music events because of the space we

have, making it easier for us to comply with COVID regulations compared with hospitality establishments.”

Ms Miatke said the plans aimed to reverse a trend where live-music opportunities had gradually declined over the past 20 years in the region.

“We used to have a really good standing in the live-music industry – I think we could definitely be a lot more lively,” she said.

“There seems to be a lack of access for young up-and-coming bands and opportunities to gain exposure are limited.

“We would like to support those artists and those who have had success, such as Alice Skye and Travalley to come back and support the local music industry.”

Ms Miatke said the bi-monthly events would also have a focus on providing Wimmera artists opportunities to play alongside well-known or emerging artists.

“Triple J might be able to link us into some emerging artists who might not necessarily be from our region,” she said.

“We’d aim to have a headline act that would be supported by local bands just to help give them exposure.”

Ms Miatke stressed a key part of reactivating live music in Horsham was for the town hall to work closely with hospitality venues to avoid doubling up on shows.

Town hall leaders are also looking at opportunities to run battle of the bands events for youth in the future.

‘Sea of Hands’ unites for reconciliation week Municipal leaders in Horsham are inviting people across the region to take part in a symbolic outdoor art display as part of nation-wide celebrations of First Nations history and culture.

Horsham Rural City Council is inviting people to unite for National Reconciliation Week, NRW, for a ‘Sea of Hands’ event at May Park tomorrow.

People are encouraged to collect large cut-out hands in the colours of the Aboriginal flag – black, yellow and red – and plant them in the ground to form the display.

The activity supports the 2021 broader reconciliation week theme ‘More Than a Word – Reconciliation Takes Action’.

NRW starts tomorrow and ends on June 3.

Street banners will be displayed during the week in the city centre and Federation University will exhibit NRW posters at its Horsham campus.

Horsham Regional Art Gallery will feature a mosaic of smaller NRW hands that have been decorated by children.

Mayor Robyn Gulline said the week was an opportunity to gather and celebrate Horsham’s Aboriginal community.

“We are encouraging Australians to learn about our Aboriginal history and share that knowledge,” she said.

“Horsham has a strong indigenous culture and the week itself provides an opportunity to celebrate and strengthen the reconciliation process.

“We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures and futures.”

The dates that bookend the week are two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey – the 1967 referendum and the historic Mabo decision.

Horsham council, Women’s Health Grampians, Wimmera Primary Care Partnership, Federation University, Western Victoria Primary Health Network, Skillinvest and Yarriambiack Shire Council have supported activities throughout the week.

FIND OUT MORE AT OUR INFO SESSIONS. Options to donate HELPING HAND: Horsham Salvation Army captains Tracy and Chris Sutton promote the annual Red Shield Appeal.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

H

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Salvation Army leaders are encouraging Wimmera residents to support the annual Red Shield Appeal, which raises money to help the region’s most vulnerable.

Captains Chris and Tracy Sutton are preparing for a return of face-to-face collections this year, following a ‘digital doorknock’ in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are having that again this year, but we’re also collecting face-to-face,” Mr Sutton said.

He said Salvation Army officers would rattle tins at Coles, Woolworths and Horsham Plaza this week.

“We will do Bunnings barbecues as well in June, so people can donate in those ways,” he said.

Mrs Sutton said despite restrictions on last year’s appeal, the Horsham corps still raised $8000.

“That was purely digital and through people coming into the office to drop donations off, which is amazing,” she said.

“We still have the digital fundraising page this year, so if people want to create their own page it takes two minutes. The link is on our Facebook page. It’s so quick and easy and people can share it to their Facebook and encourage their friends and family to donate.

“Otherwise people can come into the office, or donate at the different places around town.”

Money raised helps fund the organisation’s social welfare and community service programs.

Mrs Sutton said 90 percent of donations remained in the region.

“We use it to buy food to make our community meals,” she said.

“That’s why we can afford to offer them for a gold coin donation, because we use a portion of the money to cook that meal.”

Mrs Sutton said some of the money would also be used towards a children’s camp.

“If we didn’t use our Red Shield Appeal money to further subsidise it, then the children wouldn’t be able to go,” she said.

“Later in the year, after Red Shield, we’re going to put in an application to use some of the money to buy a defibrillator, to have it on site so anyone in this area can use it.”

Mrs Sutton encouraged people to support this year’s appeal, either online or in person.

“We just find ways to use the money that people give and trust us with to benefit the community in real, tangible ways,” she said.

“It’s really exciting that it gets to stay locally now.”

People can visit digitaldoorknock.salvation army.org.au to donate to the Horsham corps online.

Marketing workshops on offer Horsham council representatives will team up with a western Victorian media group next month to present an interactive digital-media workshop for community groups.

The free event at Wimmera Business Centre is designed to help groups, from major event organisers to service clubs, to use modern marketing processes to meet their goals.

Horsham Rural City Council

has joined forces with O2 Media to run the event.

Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline urged Horsham district groups who needed help with digital marketing to attend.

“Digital marketing, including social media, is a part of everyday life now and if you are running a local organisation or event, you can’t afford to be without it,” she said.

“This workshop will give you

the basics of what you need to know about digital platforms, the resources required to get started and how to put together a plan.”

The workshop is on June 9 with an afternoon session from 12.30pm to 4pm and a repeat workshop at 6pm.

People can RSVP by June 1 to Gloria McRae by calling 5382 9706 or emailing gloria. mcrae@hrcc.vic.gov.au.

National gongs for Harcourts

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

SUCCESS: Harcourts Horsham principal Mark Clyne, centre, and sales consultants Chris Schirmer, left, and Jock Uebergang celebrate several major accolades the franchise won at a Harcourts awards night in Melbourne.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

H

arcourts Horsham is celebrating a highly successful 12 months, claiming national and state accolades at an awards night in Melbourne at the weekend.

The Horsham franchise collected the Harcourts number one property management office growth award for both Victoria and Australia.

It also won the Nutrien Harcourts number one office revenue gong – both in Victoria and nationally – along with personal achievement awards for sales consultants Jock Uebergang and Chris Schirmer.

Principal Mark Clyne was thrilled by his team’s success, which he said was good recognition for the past five and a half years working under the Harcourts brand.

“We’ve never won any state awards, ever, even achievement awards,” he said.

“This year we’ve had two achievement awards and it’s great.

“It’s good recognition. We’ve gone from zero to – now with the integration of Coller Rathgeber Property Group – number one in Horsham and across the Wimmera.

“The awards are based on our performance to the end of March, so it doesn’t include the merger. Hopefully next year, with the addition of a few extra bodies we might be able to win a few more awards.”

Mr Clyne said Harcourts leaders also announced the brand was now officially number two in the Australian real estate industry.

“The company has been running for about 20 years and to move into that

position is a great effort all round,” he said.

Mr Clyne said the Horsham agency’s accolades were the result of a team effort combined with supportive customers.

“We’ve got a team of 16. We’ve just appointed another person who started with us a few weeks ago,” he said.

“We’re still growing and as the market forces determine, it depends on what type of opportunities are there.”

Mr Clyne praised the efforts of Mr Uebergang, who was named Nutrien Harcourts’ number two residential sales agent in Victoria, and third nationally.

“Jock’s been with us for nearly six years. He’s gone from entering the industry to being one of the leaders and that’s fantastic,” he said.

“Chris has been here for four years.

He was doing real estate in Geelong

before coming here. He’s established himself well in the area.”

Mr Schirmer won a bronze award based on sales figures, with Mr Uebergang winning a silver award.

“We’ve got Taylor Whitworth coming through the ranks. He’s doing fantastic work with the premium properties, and we’ve got Tim Coller with the merger of Coller Rathgeber,” Mr Clyne said.

“Tim’s out there enjoying himself now that he doesn’t have to run the show.”

Mr Clyne said his agents had been busy thanks to a strong regional market, which he said would continue to strengthen.

“Once you go down to Melbourne and get stuck in a traffic jam for an hour and a half, you can understand why people don’t want to live there,” he said.

“There has been a percentage of people moving from Melbourne to the country. It’s not as great as some believe and I think that’s still to come.

“Investors have certainly been quieter but we’re just starting to see the signs of investors coming back into the market.”

Mr Clyne said low interest rates and government incentives stimulating the building industry had contributed to the sector’s strength.

“I think overall, in my time living in Horsham, this is the best I’ve ever seen the economy – tradies are flat out, most retail are very busy and the farming sector has had a couple of great years,” he said.

“Hopefully that will continue through this year.

“The spirits of people are probably the best I’ve seen in my lifetime.”

Civic centre renovations Horsham Rural City Council’s reception foyer at Horsham Civic Centre will be the subject of an upgrade.

The centre will remain operational throughout the eight weeks of upgrade works to improve customer service.

This Friday, however, the council will establish a temporary customer service area at the rear of the civic centre, with access and parking available via Urquhart Street.

Chief executive Sunil Bhalla said work would extend a customer service foyer to include two new private interview areas for confidential customer discussions.

“Having an improved customerservice location means we can better respond to customers’ needs and improve acoustics for better communications,” he said.

“Previously we have had to send customers to all four corners of the building. Now all the services will be a ‘we come to you’ approach.

“A designated building and planning counter will also be reinstated.

“The planning department is consistently in high demand and the changes will allow us to be more efficient in addressing people’s needs.”

The council will also address accessibility issues by bringing public areas of the building up to current standards for general accessibility and Disability Discrimination Act compliance.

“When the renovations are complete, customers will enjoy a more modern and convenient reception space,” Mr Bhalla said.

Can you afford to retire?

M

any Australians caught in the nine-to-five grind of working for a living dream of the possibility of taking early retirement and spending their days travelling or playing golf or doing nothing much at all.

There is even a name for it these days – the Financial Independence, Retire Early, FIRE, movement – and it is prompting more and more young Australians to question exactly what it takes to retire early.

Yet, without winning Tattslotto or suddenly inheriting a fortune from a long-lost relative, how possible is it to structure your finances so you never have to work again?

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the average Australian retirement age is just 55.4, which makes it seem that early retirement is somewhat the norm for Australians.

However, this number is dragged down by partners who stop work while their spouses support them financially, and people forced into early retirement by redundancy or medical issues.

FINANCE

focus

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

So, how plausible is it to stop working sooner rather than later?

The answer depends on the type of retirement you dream of, where you are hoping to live and whether you have children or other dependents you need to support.

It is also more achievable if you can structure your life so you are still earning at least some money, albeit from a hobby or something you love doing and would do anyway.

The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, ASFA, suggests a couple requires $62,000 a year – $640,000 in savings, in addition to owning their own home – to live a comfortable retirement in Australia.

That is a number that can seem unachievable.

Yet many people are eager to

retire overseas to a country such as Indonesia, where living expenses can be a fraction of what they are at home and enjoy a high-quality lifestyle for $300 a week, or $15,600 a year, requiring invested savings of as little as $300,000.

Others have spent years travelling the world on a strict travel budget of $100 a day, which puts them in a great position to only require $36,000 a year or $600,000 in invested savings.

Against this, industry analysts estimate that for an individual to be truly financially independent, they need to be earning $50,000 a year from invested funds, in addition to owning their own home, requiring millions in retirement savings.

The key, however, to decide whether you can retire early depends on just how determined you are to achieve it.

You need to think through your lifestyle requirements and determine if you need a simple caravan and campsite, or whether you require a five-bedroom home in leafy suburbia.

You will also need to ensure your

retirement savings are invested in quality assets that will continue to generate a strong, consistent level of income, as well as capital growth.

A good financial adviser can help you with this.

A good tip is to keep your options open and your skills up to date in case you have a change of heart and decide you do want to go back into the office, even if only on a part-time basis.

In fact, you might be better off taking what is increasingly referred to as a mature age ‘gap year’ and try out what it’s like living overseas or spending all day on the beach before you quit your job.

While being permanently retired and free to live each day as you choose does sound wonderful, remember to still ensure you have purpose in life.

Happy early retirement dreaming!

Praise for volunteers

Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong has thanked volunteers on behalf of Ararat Rural City Council via a special video message during National Volunteer Week.

Cr Armstrong emphasised the importance of recognising the efforts of volunteers who made ‘economic, social and cultural’ contributions across the municipality.

“Like most rural towns, volunteers form the backbone of our community – they help provide much-needed services to our city and it’s a way of looking out for one another,” she said.

“This past year, we’ve seen so many volunteers participate in community-response efforts across our region – from Meals on Wheels volunteers delivering meals to vulnerable community members to the Ararat Community Relief Centre providing a safe space to call for help and advice – the list of acts of selflessness is endless.

“Let’s not forget the volunteers who play a huge role in keeping our community safe, strong and more inclusive from our local SES, CFA to sporting and community groups.”

Ararat Rural City Council benefits from more than 40 volunteers across various services including Ararat Gallery TAMA, Gum San Chinese Heritage Centre, Ararat Town Hall, visitor information centre, Ararat Fitness Centre, Ararat Regional Library, Meals on Wheels, and Ararat Community Relief Centre.

People can find out more about Ararat council volunteering opportunities online at www.ararat.vic.gov.au/council/careers/volunteering.

Rockers donate to worthy causes A love for rock ’n’ roll dancing has provided a Horsham club with an outlet to raise $2000 for community groups.

Horsham Rockers’ Wayne Lang said one of the club’s annual charity dance events helped raise money for Christian Emergency Food Centre and Wimmera Veterans Centre.

“We’ve presented cheques of $1000 each,” he said.

“We’ve raised money through having an annual dance every year since we were incorporated in 1996.”

Food centre manager Bev Miatke said the donation would go a long way to helping people in the community who were disadvantaged.

“This is amazing – Horsham Rockers are so generous,” she said.

“We thank them for thinking of people who

aren’t so well off and supporting us to support them. We couldn’t do this without the community support we get.”

Wimmera Veterans Centre’s Laura Rothery said every donation was a major benefit to the centre, which supported the wellbeing of returned servicemen and women.

“We try to do our best to reach different veterans in the area, not just the older ones but younger ones with their young families – every little bit helps because we rely solely on grant appeals and you just don’t get much anymore,” she said.

“What we want to do and what we can do are two very different things, so $1000 is huge and will allow us to give back to those veterans.”

Horsham Rockers plan to celebrate the club’s 25th anniversary on June 26.

Horsham spending up on rural roads

M

unicipal leaders have spoken of a need to increase spending on Horsham district rural roads and bridges by 27 percent in the coming financial year.

Horsham Rural City Council has allocated $7.3-million for rural roads across the Horsham municipality as part of its draft budget.

Chief executive Sunil Bhalla said maintaining rural roads was a monumental challenge facing regional councils across Australia.

He added it was particularly tough in the Wimmera, where reactive subsoils meant roads tended to deteriorate quicker than in other regions.

“Adding to the strain is the growing prevalence of B-double trucks and other heavy-vehicle traffic as well as the increasing dimensions of contemporary farm machinery,” he said.

“We know we need to keep improving our roads. It is a huge focus for the team – both in terms of budget and resources.”

Reconstruction of sections of Polkemmet Road, $692,000, and Horsham-Lubeck Road, $780,000, are two of the largest projects included in the draft budget.

MAINTENANCE: Horsham Rural City Council’s Shane Carter works on McGenniskens Road at Wonwondah.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Dimboola-Minyip Road at Murra Warra north of Horsham, $338,000, will undergo further major upgrades due to its importance as a freight route.

Across the municipality the council plans to spend more than $1-million on seals and re-seals as required.

The council has allocated $900,000 for re-sheeting gravel roads, a major increase on previous years, while shoulder works, heavy patching and bridge maintenance are also in the budget.

The council is also piloting the use of Otta seals to transform high-

maintenance gravel roads into costefficient sealed roads where traffic volumes are moderate.

Mr Bhalla said of the pool of ratepayer money being spent on infrastructure, the council was directing 48.8 percent at rural roads.

“The council has an ongoing com-

mitment to fixing the rural road network, investing the largest budget to date into improving local roads,” he said.

“They are integral to the economic output of the region from our farming operations and related businesses.

“The road program is weather and seasonal dependent. As such, works will be carried out over the year.”

Money to fix Horsham rural roads comes from a combination of council revenue, 64 percent, and federal and state government funding.

Mr Bhalla said the council continued to advocate to higher levels of government for extra support, including for roads under Regional Roads Victoria roads management such as HorshamNoradjuha Road, Blue Ribbon Road, Horsham-Minyip Road, Northern Grampians Road, Natimuk-Hamilton Road and the Western, Wimmera and Henty highways.

People can make a submission about the draft budget until 5pm on June 7.

The council is also developing a Rural Road Network Plan and formed a community steering committee of municipal representatives.

A safe, inclusive workplace We’ve got you West Wimmera Health Service is planning to strengthen its commitment to being a safe and inclusive workplace for the LGBTQI community.

Chief executive Ritchie Dodds said the organisation was undergoing a process to become ‘Rainbow Tick’ accredited.

The program supports health and community organisations to understand and implement LGBTQI-safe and inclusive services.

“West Wimmera Health Service is committed to being a safe space for all people to be able to feel welcomed and be themselves when accessing any of our services,” Mr Dodds said.

“We are undertaking the accreditation process to be officially recognised as a Rainbow Tick organisation and we will continue to educate ourselves as allies of the rainbow community.”

Mr Dodds’ comments came after health service staff celebrated International Day Against Homophobia, Biophobia, Interphobia and Transphobia, IDAHOBIT, early last week.

IDAHOBIT celebrates LGBTQI people globally and raises awareness of the work still needed to combat discrimination.

The health service welcomed guest speaker, Wimmera Pride Project committee member Maddi Ostapiw, who shared a

Mr Dodds said it was a thought-provoking and inspiring talk, which helped to shine a light on the discrimination and isolation that members of the rainbow community often faced.

He said staff resonated with Ms Ostapiw’s talk and it stimulated an ongoing conversation about how the health service could learn and improve its understanding about the barriers that members of the LGBTIQ community faced when accessing health-care services.

A key message from the pres-

entation was awareness that homophobia, biphobia, interphobia and transphobia can occur online and face-to-face and can affect everyone by creating spaces where people feel unsafe and like they cannot be themselves.

The pride project has launched a ‘Safe Spaces’ campaign that aims to better support regional businesses and care services in providing workspaces free of judgment and discrimination.

COVID-19

VACCINATIONS now at The Wimmera Vaccination Clinic Now in Phase 2a CRITICAL CARE: Wimmera Health Care Group palliative care nurses Maire Coffey, left, and Jenny Ellis assess a patient.

National week to honour workforce

W

immera Health Care Group is using National Palliative Care Week, running until Saturday, to thank the efforts of palliative care professionals and volunteers making a difference to people’s lives.

The theme of this year’s Palliative Care Week is ‘Palliative Care: It’s more than you think’ and raises awareness about the benefits of quality palliative care.

Palliative care is care that helps people, from babies to elderly adults, live their life as well as possible for as long as possible, when living with a life-limiting or terminal illness.

The theme seeks to broaden the community’s perceptions, understanding and appreciation of palliative care, demonstrating its role in supporting the physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs of people living with a life-limiting illness, their families and their care team.

National Palliative Care Week is also designed to provide an opportunity to highlight the work hundreds of palliative care specialists and palliative care nurses, but also the support provided by general practitioners, volunteers, allied-health professionals, community workers and everyone who works within the palliative care sphere.

Palliative care nurse practitioner Maire Coffey said palliative care was available to people with a serious and life-limiting illness and their families, to help them in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

“Palliative care workers and services have a deep understanding of the difficult situations people near the end of their life or with a life-limiting illness often face,” she said.

“They can be instrumental in balancing a variety of perspectives and incorporating the psychological, social and spiritual concerns of patients, their families and the staff caring for them.

“They are here to help and can also offer crucial support to help loved ones and families through their time of grief and bereavement.”

Ms Coffey said as Australians continued to face challenges brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic, the palliative care workforce continued to deliver outstanding clinical care, support and compassion to patients and their loved ones.

People can find out more information about National Palliative Care Week online at palliative care.org.au/national-palliative-care-week-2021 or by calling Wimmera Health Care Group’s palliative care team on 5381 9363.

Visual artists Mike Maka and Conrad Bizjak have painted murals on buildings at the future site of Wildlife Art Museum of Australia near Halls Gap. Inspired by the natural surroundings of adjacent Grampians National Park, the murals are the latest works to complement the region’s Silo Art Trail.

The artists have painted two equipment buildings with works indicative of the future direction of WAMA – to provide a nature-inspired art precinct featuring a dedicated art gallery, learning and education areas surrounded by gardens that nurture and protect rare species of plants and animals.

WAMA Foundation patron Glenda Lewin said project leaders were thrilled and excited with completion of the murals on site.

“These murals represent the important interconnection between art and the natural environment and set the scene of what is to come in the near future for WAMA,” she said.

The artists drew inspiration from time they spent exploring the Grampians, talking to botanists and wildlife experts in the area.

Melbourne street artist Maka said he aimed to represent some of the beauty of the natural surroundings of the Grampians.

“Some of the photos I’ve used for reference I’ve either taken myself while hiking, in the garden of a local botanist, or supplied to me by

Raven empowers positivity H

BY DYLAN DE JONG

orsham’s St Brigid’s College is entering a new era of leadership.

Gerard Raven, who has been working as the school’s interim principal this year, will officially step into the principal role in July.

He replaces former principal Peter Guttridge, who served in the position for 16 years.

Catholic education leaders regard Mr Raven as ‘a leader who has decades of experience as both a teacher and deputy principal’.

Mr Raven said he was excited to join the school community and help students flourish in their educational journeys in 2021 and beyond.

“In my first address to the students in January, I expressed my wish to see, with the help of all, St Brigid’s become the best school in the Wimmera, and even the state,” he said.

“For St Brigid’s, it’s all about new beginnings this year.

“There’s some really positive things happening at this school, which is what attracted me to the position.

“We’ve got our STEAM centre that was opened late last year. We’re also looking at doing a refurbishment of the northern wing and a new basketball court in the playground for the kids.”

Mr Raven said the school had an ability to develop meaningful relationships with its students and their families due to it size.

“Coming from a large school in

Geelong, certainly what impresses me about St Brigid’s is how the staff know all the kids. There’s certainly a very personal approach to education,” he said.

“I think the kids benefit from the fact they’re known by the staff. I think that’s a real strength at St Brigid’s.”

Mr Raven started his teaching career 30 years ago at Ouyen in the southern Mallee.

He was then appointed to Catholic College Bendigo where he had several senior leadership positions.

He was appointed deputy principal

at Rockhampton’s The Cathedral College and deputy principal at Sacred Heart College, Geelong, prior to his appointment as interim principal of St Brigid’s.

“Throughout my 30 years as a teacher I have learnt that the most important element in quality teaching is to build positive relationships with students, parents and colleagues,” Mr Raven said.

“My goal is to continue to work on building relationships within the Horsham community.”

Catholic education Ballarat exec-

utive director Tom Sexton said Mr Raven was well qualified for the position.

“The selection panel was most impressed with Gerard’s vision for St Brigid’s College and the passion he has to ensure the college continues to provide a quality Catholic education for families in the Horsham region,” he said.

St Brigid’s College is celebrating ‘200 Years of Catholic Education in Australia’ during Catholic Education Week this week.

Opportunity in childcare O pportunities for childcare workers to increase their career prospects will expand in the region through a new diploma at Federation TAFE’s Wimmera campus.

Federation TAFE is working with Wimmera employers to provide a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care to help tackle a skills shortage in the region.

Federation University pro vicechancellor Liam Sloan said demand for childcare workers in the region meant many families were on waiting lists for childcare services.

He said the introduction of threeyear-old kindergarten programs had also compounded demand.

“We are constantly talking to local employers to find out where the skills shortages in our regions are so we can offer training for the jobs that are in demand,” he said.

“There is a critical shortage of early childhood educators in the Wimmera and this new diploma will provide more training opportunities for locals looking for a new career, or a chance to upskill for those already working in childcare.”

The new diploma, part of the State Government’s Free TAFE program, will be offered at the Wimmera campus in semester two, from July this year.

It provides students studying a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education at the Wimmera campus with an opportunity to further their study.

Students take the lead Y

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ear-12 students at Marian College are encouraging their younger peers to sign up for a national program that explores the world of science.

Students Dylan Ryan, twins Olivia and Oscar Cole, Grace Lording and Sam Cairns joined a National Youth Science Forum earlier this year.

The program shifted to an online format this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The three-week program introduces students to industry leaders in science, technology, engineering and maths, STEM, fields and provides them a glimpse of the world’s best science and technology facilities.

Oscar said he would encourage anyone who was remotely interested in STEM subjects in year 11 to apply for the flagship program.

“The program really helped me realise what I want to do in the future. I want to study engineering, so it really reinforced that for me,” he said.

“There were quite a few engineering forums and different companies we could talk with about opportunities after university.

“It’s a really good course for students who aren’t sure what they want to do in the future – it’s a good way to see what career paths are out there for you.”

Olivia, who hopes to study veterinary science next year, said the forum was a memorable experience despite the pandemic preventing it running in its usual format.

INSIGHT: Year-12 students, from left, Grace Lording, Olivia Cole and Sam Cairns were among five Marian College students who joined a virtual national science forum earlier this year.

The forum normally takes place in Canberra and Brisbane.

“It gives you such a personal experience from all around the world,” she said.

Olivia said former college students Cameron Hancock and Bridget McGuckian, who were program ambassadors, were inspirational and engaging leaders.

“We wouldn’t have applied if they didn’t apply,” she said.

“They’ve been good for us to look up to and have given us inspiration. It’s really important to have role models here at Marian College.”

Dylan, who is hoping to study medicine after graduating, said the diversity of the program gave him insight into the career path he was keen to explore in the future.

“I went there with a really open mind.

I noticed they weren’t biased in any particular areas – they were very diverse in the way the forum was structured,” he said.

Dylan said he was successful in applying for a student staff leadership program and would guide students through the program for next year’s forum.

Aim to engage, inspire

orsham history teacher Josh Lloyd’s life-long thirst for knowledge and passion for teaching has caught the attention of educational leaders.

History Teachers’ Association of Victoria presented the Holy Trinity Lutheran College teacher with an Award for Excellence in History Education by an Early Career Educator.

The award recognises Mr Lloyd for the enthusiasm and inspiration he brings to each of his classes and the innovative ways he engages students in their learning.

“Receiving this award gave me a mix of emotions including pride and joy, but I think what it says more is that I work at a school that is willing and open to new ideas and trying new things,” he said.

Mr Lloyd has been teaching history and humanities at HTLC for three years.

He previously worked at Federation University and worked closely with Dr David Waldron and the history teachers’ association.

He said his senior high school history teacher Guido Piotti sparked his interest in the subject.

“I’m so incredibly grateful to him for igniting the passion and thirst of learning and reflecting on what has happened before us so we can learn from that and not make those same mistakes again,” he said.

“As a kid I was always fascinated by the sinking of the Titanic and Ned Kelly, but as I grew up and travelled more my passions and

Josh Lloyd knowledge have also grown. My strongest passion? It is the spirit of Kokoda on the Kokoda Track.

“I have been fortunate to walk it twice and I look forward to getting back there soon, hopefully one day with a group of students.

“I would also like to acknowledge trek leader Aidan Grimes from Our Spirit who has taught me much about the Spirit of Kokoda.”

Mr Lloyd said he liked to add ‘humour and theatre’ into his teaching style to engage students and bring the stories of history to life.

“I think above all, it’s the narrative and the stories that engage kids to learn history,” he said.

“Yes, they need to know facts and dates and figures, but what’s more important is the story and narrative behind all of those numbers.”

Arts ‘crucial’ at Horsham College

STAGE READY: Ararat College instrumental music coordinator Riley Mason is helping his students prepare to perform in front of a live audience.

orsham College teachers believe art and design subjects are a crucial part of the education puzzle, complementing science, technology, engineering and mathematic, STEM, classes.

Arts learning area head Courtney Scherger said the arts were becoming increasingly recognised as a key part of the curriculum and were often tied into STEM subjects.

She said art and design were closely linked to STEM learning, where art and maths combine in fields such as animation, web design and development, 3D modelling and medical imaging.

“The role of arts in education is crucial,” she said.

“The arts allow our students to express imaginative ideas and to challenge our way of thinking.”

Ms Scherger said studying the arts helped students to develop flexibility, adaptability, productivity and to be innovative.

“Arts encourages us to take risks, investigate, discover and to explore,” she said.

“Arts ties in with STEM as the two complement each other and encourage students to collaborate and be innovative.

“Igniting both analytical and imaginative thinking can open pathways and will drive an innovative future.”

Horsham College offers the widest range of STEM subjects in the Wimmera and it also offers the most arts subjects, including dance, theatre studies, media studies, art, visual communication, drama, music and studio arts.

In past years, graduates have gone onto de-

Many of the school’s year-12 students have been invited to exhibit or perform at Top Arts, Top Designs or Top Acts.

Ms Scherger said the full range of arts electives offered from years seven to 12 were popular choices at each year level.

elping music students become ‘performance ready’ is a major motivator for newly employed Ararat College music teacher Riley Mason.

The instrumental music co-ordinator, 25, is aspiring to help his 35 contemporary music students to be ‘gig ready’ to perform at venues across the region.

Mr Mason, who grew up in Ararat, has a background in the live-music industry and studied contemporary music at JMC Academy in Melbourne.

He teaches guitar, vocals, drums and bass guitar.

Mr Mason said he hoped he could prepare his students to create and perform music in

modern genres such as blues, rock and pop.

“I want to see the students performing and if any students get to the level of wanting to record their music, I will help them get their music out there,” he said.

“There are some kids here who have already started writing songs.”

Mr Mason said he wanted to change a common perception that learning music was ‘uncool’.

“When I was a kid, I think music got a bad reputation – it was kind of like a nerdy or uncool thing. I want to change that perception,” he said.

“I also think it’s good to have a young leader, someone who knows how to perform

and knows music theory. I can teach students the technical side of music and show them how to apply it in the real world.”

Mr Mason said he believed learning an instrument at a young age often led to students retaining a ‘life-long’ skill.

“It’s really good for your brain and memory, but also, to be good at something early on in your life, you learn that if you practice something you can get really good at it,” he said.

“If you commit to something for a couple of years and you see just how good you can get at something, you can apply that to anything in life.”

DEVELOPMENT: Laharum Primary School duet song room teacher Sarah Brookes familiarises students, from left, Enid Knight, Vivienne Newton, Troy Winfield and Jayden Uebergang with the basics of music.

A solid foundation

P

arent leaders at Laharum Primary School want to debunk a myth that small schools miss out on opportunities for great educational outcomes.

School council president Katrina Knight said students received almost ‘private tuition’ from experienced teachers with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy.

“We are fortunate to have teachers who are specialists in science, art and physical education and our curriculum incorporates humanities, languages other than English, LOTE, geography and music,” she said.

Ms Knight said due to the small cohort, students received individual-

Wednesday, May 26, 2021

ised attention, which provided a solid foundation to take on the challenges of secondary school.

“Our students are provided with leadership opportunities, perform public speaking, develop a sense of community and learn to give to those less fortunate than ourselves,” she said.

“Our school might be small, but the life skills and lessons learnt over our students’ primary years become extremely important in their adult years.

“Lifelong friendships are formed in small schools and often they become a ‘school family’ that takes care of one another, regardless of age, and learns to deal with situations that

require compromise and resilience.”

In past years students have experienced cultural activities such as live theatre in Melbourne, a personal workshop with four musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and camps and excursions that build on teachings in the classroom and reinforce the students’ knowledge.

The school’s sporting programs also change each term, with students experiencing alternative sports and activities such as archery, tenpin bowling, orienteering and beach days.

The school is inviting parents and their children to tour the school on Friday to meet teachers, students and for a morning tea.

hill Lutheran School continues to provide quality education in a caring Christian environment.

Christian studies, important to Lutheran schools, is complemented by devotions and chapels, where students hear and learn about God’s message and how to care for others.

The school offers ample opportunities for students to experience hands-on learning, with each year level having weekly cooking and food-technology lessons.

Students participate in a Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program and also contribute to the care of animals in a mini farm and science room.

The outdoor spaces enhance learning and play experiences for students, with the school’s nature play spaces for cubby building, mud kitchen, sheltered sand-pit and playground, hard courts and oval with football goals and cricket pitch all popular.

Nhill Lutheran School’s creative teachers design innovative learning programs for all curriculum areas.

Spaces have been established with the contemporary vision of catering for the wide range of student learning styles that exist in 21st century classrooms.

The school has spaces for individual, group and whole-class learning, standing-up learning spaces, whiteboard surfaces for brainstorming and collaboration and information communication technology.

Students are allocated their own iPad to use in class and participate in week-

ly technology lessons where creative problem solving, designing and building are all explored.

Students also have many opportunities to explore the world outside the classroom and school.

Each year students attend excursions to support learning programs, including a whole-school excursion to the Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

The school’s program of sleepovers and camps allows students to grow in their independence, along with experiencing new places and activities.

Students learn Karen language and culture through weekly lessons.

Playgroup

This year, the school’s Get ’Em Going playgroup has restarted after pausing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The playgroup, which runs weekly on Tuesday mornings during school terms, is for pre-schoolers.

The program is available to all families in the community and assists with the development of each individual child’s mental, emotional, social and fine and gross motor skills.

The playgroup offers the Perceptual Motor Program, PMP, and children also get to explore the library, science room and outdoor learning spaces.

Visitors and prospective families are invited to tour the school to see what is on offer.

People can call the school on 5391 2144 or email admin@nls.vic.edu.au to book a tour. People can also follow the school on Facebook.

Scholarships help change in career

M

other of three Kasey Smith has made a major career change into a traditionally male-dominated field.

The former high school teacher is studying a pre-apprenticeship electrical course at South West TAFE in Warrnambool and her prospects have been boosted by winning two scholarships.

Ms Smith, 34, won a $1500 Powercor scholarship just weeks after receiving a South West TAFE Portland Aluminium Women in Trades award to purchase equipment up to $1500.

She said the scholarships were easing her childcare-fee burden while she pursued her dream job.

“I’m a single parent with three kids so the scholarships are a huge help with childcare.

Anything I have left over I can use for personal protective equipment or course fees,” she said.

Ms Smith said her three sons were impressed with her career change and her practical skills.

“I just made a stud bracket and my oldest son thinks it’s the bee’s knees,” she said.

Ms Smith said she was originally reluctant to pursue her dream and instead became a secondary teacher and taught physical education and humanities for three years early on in her career.

“I don’t think I would have had the maturity level at 18 to try electrical, but now I feel I’m better prepared,” she said.

“I like to know how things work. I’m really practical and like the manual labour aspect of it.

I’m interested in building but with electrical it’s more about problem solving and maths.”

Ms Smith said her six-month course was living up to her expectations.

“I love it – the teachers are great and everyone

is so helpful, including industry reps who come in every week to talk to us,” she said.

Ms Smith is one of two females in the course.

Rozetta Punton also won a $1500 Powercor scholarship.

She said it took 12 months of planning to start her course, including organising services for two of her children who have disabilities.

“But if it’s something you want to do, why not jump in and do it?” she said.

“I think it’s a good example to set for my kids; you don’t have to be doing the same thing for your whole life and you can chase your dream.”

Powercor apprentice program co-ordinator Steven McConnell said the scholarships had so far helped kick-start electrical trades careers for 15 women across western Victoria.

COMMUNITY We recognise the mutual benefit that is developed through interaction between the school and the wider community. Our students are involved in community service and are provided with opportunities to develop their personal growth.

MINI FARM We believe in fostering creativity and exposing students to the local agricultural environment. Students develop responsibility through regular feeding and nurture animals as they grow.

CHRISTIAN STUDIES Integral to Lutheran Schools are the opportunities for students to learn, develop and grow in appreciation of Jesus.

Preserving ‘vital’ bee population 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY DYLAN DE JONG

rampians apiarist Greg Mathews believes World Bee Day this year was an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of bees for food and the environment.

Mr Mathews helps run his family’s business Grampians Olive Co. at a Laharum olive plantation, south of Horsham.

The family started the beekeeping venture about six years ago to add another aspect to its main business of growing organic olives and producing olive oil.

Mr Mathews said bees were ‘fundamental’ in building pollination security and preserving food security on a global scale.

His comments came after World Bee Day on May 20.

“Bees do so much for our food chain. There are so many crops that just wouldn’t exist without them,” Mr Mathews said.

“We’ve got to do everything we can to preserve and grow the global bee population – the future of food production depends on it.”

Mr Mathews said to give his bees the best chance to produce quality honey, the hives had access to flowering olives and wildflowers planted on his

GOOD BEES–NESS: Greg Mathews tends to his beehives at Grampians Olive Co. on World Bee Day on Thursday last week.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER farm, adding unique flavours to the honey they produced.

“The bees live on the olive grove.

They forage on the olive trees, which helps with the pollination, and they have access to the national park and wildflowers,” he said.

“We also grow wildflowers, which works well for the bees when the olives aren’t flowering. It also creates different flavours in the honey.”

Mr Mathews said bees had been a long-standing interest for the family.

He said his father, who is a member

of a Wimmera beekeeping group, was a beekeeper in his university days.

“My dad’s been a beekeeper for more than 50 years,” he said.

“For me, it’s a hobby and something we enjoy doing. We’ve sold a bit of honey through our farm shop, and it’s

become an important product for us.”

Mr Mathews said he particularly enjoyed watching the process of the hive in action when producing the honey.

“It’s amazing to see thousands of these bees and they all know where their place is – it all works like clockwork – it’s just amazing that they can all be so co-ordinated,” he said.

“It’s nature at its finest and they don’t really need human intervention, but rather, we’re just there to guide them and help them stay healthy.”

Mr Mathews said the family also had a major focus on organic practices as part of its broader farming system with olives and wildflowers.

“I’ve tried to transfer the practices of what I would do in my home vegetable garden onto a larger scale,” he said.

“There’s no reason why I could justify using harsher chemicals on a broader scale – I believe we should only sell produce to customers that was good enough for our family to consume.

“It’s also about taking care of the land and trying to improve the soil rather than using spray and chemical fertiliser that conventional growers do that affects the long-term health of the soil.”

Safeguarding Australia’s food Building pollination security and safeguarding Australia’s food was the theme of World Bee Day last week.

Agriculture Victoria researchers have developed diagnostic tests to identify varroa mite and deformed wing virus – two of the most destructive biosecurity threats to the bee industry.

Dr Linda Zheng, who is part of the research team, said an uncontained incursion of varroa mite and associated bee viruses could potentially cost producers and consumers of pollination dependent crops up to $1.3-billion across 30 years.

Varroa mite is a parasite that sucks the blood of bees. It can weaken and kill honeybee colonies and transmit honeybee viruses such as the deformed wing virus.

“The deformed wing virus is the

Wednesday, May 26, 2021

most devasting viral disease of European honeybees. Additionally if the virus is detected along with a mite infestation of the hives, the hive mortality could be up to 80 or 100 percent,” Dr Zheng said.

Dr Zheng is undertaking research supported by Agriculture Victoria’s Livestock Biosecurity Funds to combine the two world-first loop-mediated isothermal amplification, LAMP, tests.

“The varroa mite is the vector that transmits the deformed wing virus, so it makes perfect sense to combine the LAMP tests into one, so one test can be used for both targets,” she said.

“Combining the two LAMP tests will improve efficiencies, cut costs and reduce the time taken by biosecurity officers in the field, leading to a more immediate response in the event of a detection.”

The deformed wing virus and varroa mite are not present in Australia, despite a detection of varroa mite on a cargo ship in Melbourne port in 2018.

Biosecurity officers’ surveillance operations, conducted over six months, confirmed it had not spread.

Dr Zheng said Agriculture Victoria was developing a range of diagnostic tests to support bee health including in-field and high-throughput diagnostics for some of the high priority exotic pests of bees.

“This research helps support Australia’s preparedness – if there is a disease outbreak that threatens bees, Agriculture Victoria has the capacity to provide surveillance and diagnostic services, as we have one of a few laboratories in Australia with bee diagnostics capability,” she said.

VFF: A mixed bag

V

ictorian farmers’ peak body has spoken of both disappointing and welcome elements in last week’s State Budget.

Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germano said the budget failed to invest in regional freight routes but had included some key investments for agriculture.

She said the State Government had missed an opportunity to drive growth in the regions by not investing in freight routes and regional road maintenance.

“Regional communities and farmers will be disappointed that just weeks after calls for the lowering of speed limits on regional roads, the government has failed to adequately invest in the maintenance and upgrades required to make rural and regional roads safe,” she said.

“Last year $6.9-billion was invested in regional Victoria, a strong signal of the importance of our regional economy to the state’s prosperity. This year that number is $3.7-billion.”

Ms Germano said some welcome areas of investment included regional mental-health services, traceability and emergency services.

“Farmers are uniquely vulnerable to many factors that contribute to poor mental health and the VFF

Wednesday, May 26, 2021

looks forward to seeing this funding flow through to improving rural and regional mental-health outcomes,” she said.

“The important investment into traceability and product integrity will support the future of Victoria’s food and fibre industries and the VFF looks forward to working with the government in implementing this program.

“The Black Summer bushfires demonstrated the vulnerability of our regional communities to the threat of fire. It’s a vital investment in our emergency service capabilities continuing in this budget with the $71.2-million CFA digital radio upgrade, investment in the replacement of Country Fire Authority stations at Serpentine, Metcalfe and Irymple and $104-million for recovery initiatives including financial counselling and mental-health support.”

Ms Germano said the VFF was disappointed the budget did not include funding to provide Victorian farmers access to an On-farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme, but understood Victorian and federal governments were in discussions on the matter.

Ms Germano said the introduction of new taxes could stymie growth in regional areas.

“The government has introduced

new taxes that could stifle agricultural investment and housing stock growth in regional Victoria,” she said.

“The stamp-duty increase and windfall tax will all hit farmers and regional developers.

“Combined with the failure to fund the $20,000 first-home-owners grant, this will seriously impact the development of desperately needed new housing stock in regional Victoria.

“It’s tough enough to find a house in regional Victoria and, unfortunately, this budget is only going to make it tougher.”

Other key budget investments identified by VFF include – • $3.6-million to fund the operation of the Mode Shift Incentive Scheme for one year.

• $15.9-million for Murray River bridge crossing upgrades.

• $41.6-million to improve heavy-vehicle road access and priority bridge upgrades.

• $20-million for the agriculture climate-change pledge announced before the budget.

• $5.8-million for the Rural Financial Counselling Service.

• $6.3-million for Victoria’s fruit fly strategy announced before the budget.

• $1.4-million for the Victorian Rural Women’s Network.

BE READY: CSIRO research head Steve Henry is scheduled to be in the Wimmera as part of a regular assessment program in mid to late June. His visit will address rising mouse numbers.

Greater insight on mice Researchers responding to the impact and spread of mice across eastern Australia will gain a clearer understanding next month about what the plague means for the Wimmera-Mallee.

A CSIRO research team headed by Steve Henry has been busy working in hard-hit areas of New South Wales.

Mr Henry is scheduled to be in the Wimmera as part of a regular assessment program in mid to late June.

“We’ll get a greater understanding about circumstances in the Wimmera when we get there,” he said.

While farmers have reported varying levels of mouse activity, much of the Wimmera-Mallee has so far been relatively free of the massive increase in mice numbers experienced in other states.

The CSIRO is collaborating with various organisations, including Birchip Cropping Group, in assessing and dealing with ways to deal with mice.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

BCG operations manager Kelly Angel said the region had so far been in ‘a lucky patch’ regarding the plague.

“We’re not in the same panic-station circumstances that are happening further north. But there are still a few mouse numbers around,” she said.

“Many growers are proactive with management and it will be a case of being vigilant in keeping track of what’s happening and having bait on hand to deal with obvious areas of infestation.”

A CSIRO team works with landowners and organisations and in gaining an understanding of environmental dynamics over time and seasons, visits the Wimmera in March, June and September as part of an annual schedule.

Ms Angel encouraged farmers concerned about growing numbers of mice on their properties to explore the availability of higher-strength poison bait, now available as an emergency response to the plague.

ustralia has the privilege of being the first cab off the rank to negotiate a free trade agreement with the United Kingdom, post Brexit.

Negotiations had been progressing apace with the deal destined to be sealed next month. But, as with most of these FTAs, agriculture is the big sticking point, particularly with countries such as Britain where farmers are heavily subsidised to the tune of billions of pounds a year.

So it was not to be unexpected that the National Farmers Union of the United Kingdom would stage a backlash.

Welsh cattle producers accused our beef herd of not meeting animal-welfare standards. Other farmers said our beef wasn’t fit to consume because we used hormone growth promotants.

National Farmers Union of the UK president Minette Batters posted a vlog on the NFU website laying the battle lines.

“We have been engaging with all levels of government and in the past few weeks, things have massively escalated. The Australians are really laying out a hardline approach to trade, wanting free and frictionless access to our markets, mainly beef, sugar and lamb,” she said.

“We absolutely are remaining focused on holding the Prime Minister – Boris Johnson – to their continuing commitment that they will not undermine farmers in future free-trade agreements.”

Most staggering was Ms Batters’ claim that

with Libby Price

our beef imports would flood into their country.

“There are welfare concerns – with Australian livestock production – but my bigger concern is the scale. The average suckler herd – cows that suckle calves for up to 10 months – in this country is of course 30 animals. You are competing with the largest exporter of beef in the world… with huge feedlot systems… of more than 50,000 head. Of course their costs of production are much lower.”

In response, National Farmers Federation president Fiona Simson issued a statement, committing Australian farmers to their close relationship with UK cousins, but putting matters straight.

“The volume of Australian red meat to the UK in the context of the UK’s total red-meat imports and Australia’s total exports, is very, very small,” she wrote.

“In 2020, the UK imported 314,000 tonnes of beef, with only 1567 tonnes coming from Australia, about 0.15 percent of all Australian beef exports. In 2020 the UK imported 67,500 tonnes of sheep meat, about 14 percent of which came from Australia.

“The aim of any free-trade agreement is to provide both parties options. Australian red meat producers would like to have the option to export to the UK if and when the UK needs it.”

YIELD INCREASE: Grampians Olive Co. business owner Greg Mathews is celebrating a win, with olive production up on last year.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Olive industry bouncing back A Grampians olive grower is among Victorian producers celebrating an above-average harvest this season.

Grampians Olive Co. business owner Greg Mathews said harvest was in full swing and production was significantly up on last year.

“We’re flat out at the moment – we’ve got a really good crop this year,” he said.

“We started harvest at the beginning of May and we’ll be going to the end of June.

“It’s really good quality and really good quantity too.”

Mr Mathews said this year’s

harvest represented a ‘bounce back’ after low production and a trading slump due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We managed to get through COVID because we had a lot of support through website sales,” he said.

“The pandemic also coincided with us having lower production, so when our restaurant was closed, we had a lower crop anyway.

“It’s all slowly getting back to normal. We’ve reopened our farm shop and we’re getting a lot of support.”

The northern Grampians

business is headed by two generations of Mathews, Andrew and Susan and son Greg.

The family’s main business includes 28,000 heritage olive trees, which produce a low yield of organic olive oil with concentrated flavour.

The family-owned olive plantation has history spanning more than 70 years. Immigrant farmer Jacob Friedman originally planted the farm in 1943 under the name Grampian Olive Plantations Co.

ilson Bolton in Horsham has entered a new era with the business expanding operations under the guidance of dealer principal Brian Thomas and general manager Matt Webb.

In addition to other business operations, Wilson Bolton has recently expanded services to sales, servicing and parts for commercial equipment and trucks.

To celebrate the expansion, Wilson Bolton will have truck and machinery ‘open days’ today and tomorrow to showcase a range of excavators, skid steers and track loaders, compact tractors, forklifts, machinery attachments and Fuso trucks.

The open days will be from 10am to 6.30pm at the dealership at 22 O’Callaghan Parade.

Mr Webb said Holden’s departure from the Australian market last year presented Wilson Bolton with a unique opportunity to review its business direction and how it could evolve its Wimmera services.

“We soon identified that the Wimmera was lacking a business that offered a comprehensive service for those in the transport, construction and earthmoving industries,” he said.

“With that said, we were excited to add Clark Equipment to our business in October 2020, with flagship brands Bobcat, Doosan, McCormick tractors

Victoria’s peak farming group has welcomed $6.4-million in State Government funding to help protect the state’s horticulture industry against the risks of Queensland fruit fly.

The fly poses a significant risk to horticulture crops throughout the state and is a major barrier to exporting fruit interstate and to international markets such as China.

Victorian Farmers Federation horticulture president Nathan Free said the money would help protect Victoria’s significant horticulture industry.

Mr Free said while the fly affected a large range of horticulture crops, the pests were often found on residential properties and wild plants.

“These kind of collaborative community, industry and government projects are key to protecting regional Victoria’s productivity and our reputation for high-quality produce,” he said.

“If we don’t properly fund our biosecurity, we risk our market access across the world and forever disadvantage our horticulture industry.”

Mr Free said the VFF was pleased the funding would go towards a regional fruit-fly co-ordinator, which growers held in high regard.

A

weekly group program in Warracknabeal designed to help improve the mental health of men and farmers in particular through exercise is gradually gaining momentum.

Mental-health advocate Justin Knorpp started Active Farmers’ activities about nine weeks ago in an effort to encourage men to ‘get off the land and come into town’ to both socialise and exercise.

He said about 17 people had so far responded to the invitation to gather at Warracknabeal’s Anzac Park from 6pm on Monday nights with an average of about seven or eight becoming ‘regulars’.

“It’s been awesome. It’s slowly evolving and we’re keen to get more people involved. It’s for men in general as well as farmers and it’s all about getting blokes together,” he said.

“It’s great that we have other trainers in town running classes, but their participants are predominantly women, so I have targeted men specifically, because basically, men are hopeless at reaching out.

“With isolation being a lot more prevalent on Wimmera farms, I’ve heard stories of blokes spending their days on paddocks with only a dog for company. What we’re doing is providing an opportunity for them to

GAINING MOMENTUM: Mental-health advocate Justin Knorpp started Active Farmers’ activities in Warracknabeal nine weeks ago.

Picture: DYLAN DE JONG break from a daily routine or lonely grind to meet up with others to strengthen body and mind.”

Active Farmers is a national notfor-profit movement that started in Tasmania.

Mr Knorpp said a health professional had also been offering health assessments for participants.

“It’s just been about reaching out and wanting to help,” he said.

“What the sessions do is provide people with mental as well as some

physical benefits. It gets blokes connecting, socalising, off the farm for a while to have a bit of fun and a laugh as well as some circuit-training exercise.”

Mr Knorpp grew up in Melbourne, has been in Warracknabeal since 2005 and revealed he, like many others, had to deal with health issues.

“This benefits me just as much as others and the more people we can get coming the better,” he said.

“We have one farmer who came

along who said he hadn’t done anything like this for 10 to 15 years and was feeling the benefits. He was actually disappointed he missed a couple of weeks because of sowing.

“The hope is that there is a flow-on effect and participants take something back to their farms. For example, when they’re doing things like cropping or harvesting, they jump off out of the tractor for 10 minutes or so, have a bit of a stroll and clear the head.”

Keeping rail freight moving The Rail Freight Alliance has welcomed a Federal Government $2-billion commitment to establishing a new intermodal terminal for Melbourne.

Alliance chair Glenn Milne said the terminal was a critical piece of infrastructure for a Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail Project and without it the full benefits of the project would not be achieved.

He said matching funding from the State Government was essential and the alliance hoped funding arrangements could be finalised as soon as possible.

“Congestion, air quality, the rising cost of Melbourne’s tollways and enhancing a liveable Melbourne are issues for the Victorian government,” he said.

“Rail is the sustainable answer to move large volumes of freight through a rapidly growing city and ever-increasing freight task.

“It is vitally important that all of Victoria can access the new facility and the national rail network.

“Improving access and capacity from Gippsland, completing the Murray Basin Project to its original scope and maintenance of Victoria’s rail network are essential in keeping freight moving on rail.

“All Victorians need a road system that is safe and fit for purpose.

“The continued trend of more and bigger trucks does not serve the safety of Victorians, the quality of our road network, nor the ability to ease congestion, improve air quality or enhance our exporters into markets.”

Backing for pest fight Federal Government budget commitments include $29.1-million to support farmers and land managers in a perennial fight against pest animals and weeds.

Agriculture Minister David Littleproud and Environment Minister Sussan Ley said the funding was part of a broader $400-million biosecurity support package.

Mr Littleproud said pest animals and weeds reduced agricultural productivity and damaged natural resources.

“That is why the Australian government remains committed to supporting on-ground efforts to fight the significant impacts of feral animals and weeds on our producers,” he said.

“The investment complements significant reforms we are committing to across our biosecurity system, to ensure it is modern, efficient and keeps Australia safe from pests and diseases that would harm our agricultural industry.

“Innovation in pest-animal management is fundamental to the transformation of Australia’s biosecurity system and achieving the industry’s vision of reaching $100-billion in value by 2030.”

Broadacre pest management is part of everyday agricultural life across the Wimmera-Mallee.

Ms Ley said the funding would help protect native species from the significant threats invasive pest animals and weeds presented to the natural environment.

“Millions of native species die each year because of pest animals and weeds and this budget measure will fund practical on-ground collaboration with local natural-resource management groups and state and territory governments to tackle pests, and to prioritise new research for innovative pest-reduction technologies,” she said.

“Feral pigs can wreak havoc on turtle populations; deer, pigs and hard-hooved animals destroy fragile native habitat and feral cats claim the lives of millions of birds and small reptiles each year.

“As part of this program, indigenous rangers will also play an important role, with $4-million over four years to undertake on-ground pest management control and to protect biodiversity and cultural values.

“These new initiatives complement existing investments in bushfire recovery for native wildlife and habitat, safe havens, and our new 10-year Threatened Species Strategy.”

College business development officer Donna Winfield said there was considerable excitement around again opening the college to prospective students and their families after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the occasion into a virtual event last year.

“While the virtual tour covers off on many aspects of what people need to know, there is nothing quite like going to the campus and feeling the ‘vibe’ – which has blossomed incredibly in the past decade,” she said.

“Society has latched onto the potential of Australia’s agricultural industry and people have started to recognise that Longerenong is at the forefront of this charge when it comes to handson tertiary training.

“Gee whiz, there is such a growing interest in agriculture, especially considering we were confronting far-from-encouraging sentiment only 15 years ago.

“What’s been wonderful now at the college is the evolutionary shift to include the most

up-to-date farming technological approaches and training in the world with traditional farming-skill training and development.”

Ms Winfield said the college, at Dooen north of Horsham, was strongly promoting the open day across Victoria and expected a large number of registrations as well as broad general interest.

She said the open day would provide students with an opportunity to hear about career opportunities and course outlines, meet current students and ‘basically get a general idea of what’s on offer and where it might lead’.

Longerenong College’s benchmark courses are Advanced Diploma of Agribusiness Management, Diploma of Agronomy and Certificate IV in Agriculture. It also provides apprenticeship courses and wool classes.

The college is also based on a fully operational 1070-hectare broad-acre mixed farm, which has been subject to a transformation with the implementation of a Demonstration of Agriculture Technology Application, DATA, farm.

The college is undergoing a major infrastructure overhaul with work involving its agribusiness centre and classrooms and a $6.5-million accommodation development getting the nod.

Soils under spotlight

I

mproving, better managing and protecting Australian soils underpins a Federal Government financial commitment outlined in its 2021-22 budget.

Agriculture Minister David Littleproud announced earlier this month a $233.6-million allocation to help implement a National Soil Strategy and associated measures as part of a Commonwealth Interim Action Plan.

“Healthy soils are essential to ensuring a thriving and competitive agriculture sector,” he said.

“Through our $120-million investment in the National Soil Monitoring and Incentives Pilot, we’re trialling new measures to bolster our understanding of Australia’s soil conditions and improve how our soil can be better managed.

“We’re going to tap into the vast amounts of soil data and information already held by farmers.

“We’re also providing incentives to farmers to increase soil testing on the condition they feed this important information back into the program.”

The Wimmera-Mallee includes some of the most productive but fragile soils in the state and many of its farmers have been at the forefront in developing sustainable farming approaches.

Mr Littleproud said the government commitment was a ‘win-win’ for farmers, to help them focus efforts to

improve productivity and profitability and help meet the sector’s ambitious goals of $100-billion in value by 2030.

“It will also help governments, researchers and other users of soil data to deliver better products and services to farmers, such as more targeted extension services and better tools to improve their drought resilience,” he said.

Innovation challenge

Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor said the government was also committing $37-million in the budget to support a National Soil Carbon Innovation Challenge.

“We will support the efforts of Australia’s best and brightest as they develop the technologies to achieve the Technology Investment Roadmap’s goal of reducing measurement costs to less than $3 a hectare per year,” he said.

“The key to unlocking the untapped potential of our soils is reducing the cost of measurement, so farmers, suppliers and researchers can understand the impact different management practices have.

“Our approach to reducing emissions is innovation, not elimination.

We will work hand-in-hand with farmers to increase soil health, productivity and resilience.”

Environment Minister Sussan

Ley said $67-million would also go to expanding Australia’s organic waste-processing infrastructure under the Food Waste for Healthy Soils Fund.

“FOGO is a term that few might be familiar with, but Food Organics and Garden Organics will play a critical role in reducing pressure on landfills, in increasing productivity for farmers and in sequestering carbon,” she said.

“This important initiative grows industry capacity, diverting up to 3.4-million tonnes of organic material from landfill to productive use in agricultural soils.

“It will generate $401-million in industry value, create up to 2700 additional jobs and establish an important model for wider recycling and soil partnerships.

“Delivering cost-effective, highquality organic matter to farms will help improve productivity and find a valuable use for this untapped resource.

“It will help improve soil organic carbon, deliver more productive farms, protect our biodiversity and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.”

The Federal Budget also funds a new education accreditation in soil science developed in collaboration with Soil Science Australia, and a National Soil Science Challenge grants program to help researchers address fundamental gaps in soil science.

Masterclass at Wallup 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Agriculture Victoria will present a ‘hands-on, interactive masterclass’ for farmers at Wallup Hall on June 23 to provide support for people needing to develop practical skills in risk management.

The ‘Excellent Farm: Crops, people, money and you’ event will be from 9.30am to noon and feature presenter Dr Kate Burke.

Dr Burke uses evidence, experience and humour to outline what matters for sustainable, profitable farming.

She is the author of Crops People Money and You, The Art of Excellent Farming and Better Returns, a book described as The Barefoot Investor for grain growers.

She also has 30 years of experience in agriculture, working mostly in north-west Victoria.

Agriculture Victoria has organised the session based on an eventful start to the Wimmera season in the absence of no clear seasonal climate indicators, but also in the wake of record land prices on the back of successful cropping years.

Farmers are also dealing with price volatility, staggered crop emergence and challenging nitrogen decisions with a mix of pessimism and optimism about the coming year.

The Wallup session will have a strong focus on participants using knowledge from their own farms to help manage challenges from 2021 to beyond.

Dr Kate Burke Topics – • Better returns – What really drives profit?

• Crops and livestock – What drives potential and revenue at the whole farm level? The influence of climate ‘moods’ on your farm performance.

Yield targets for guiding nitrogen management and grain-marketing decisions – think options, not averages.

• Money – Taking the whole-of-farm long-term view to generating revenue and spending wisely.

• People – Decision-making for robust and regret-free farming. You – The role you play in risk management.

Organisers have urged people to bring farm maps and grain-yield and gross-margin records for crops if available.

Farm safety a priority F

armers will be able to continue to gain financial support to improve safety elements in their workplaces on the back of State Government funding.

The State Government announced a further $2-million towards a Farm Safety Rebate Scheme, following a previous $3-million allocation for the popular program.

Agriculture Minister MaryAnne Thomas said the scheme provided rebates of up to $5000 to improve on-farm safety.

She said the government had received more than 800 applications across 45 municipalities, with examples of equipment and infrastructure eligible for the rebate including child-safety fencing, animal-handling equipment, dedicated chemical storage sheds and wash stations, emergency shut-off switches and reversing cameras for tractors and vehicles.

“The Labor government is supporting farm businesses to take the lead in making practical changes to their workplaces by

improving the sector’s focus on safety,” she said.

“This is part of our $20-million Smarter, Safer Farms commitment to improve safety and skills for Victorian farmers.”

Ms Thomas said the government was partnering with Victorian Farmers Federation to provide farm-safety advice and support for Victorian farmers through a Making our Farms Safer project.

The VFF has $3-million in funding to employ two farm-safety officers and provide new farm-safety resources to Victorian farmers.

WorkSafe Victoria also provides agriculture-safety information in addition to an occupational health and safety essentials program, a free workplace safety-consultation service. A Kidsafe program also promotes child safety on farms.

“Safer farms mean safer farmers, families, employees, suppliers and contractors and this is vital to ensuring our agriculture sector continues to thrive,” Ms Thomas said.

Feedback sought for animal welfare act Wimmera community and industry leaders will have an opportunity to provide their feedback on a new animal welfare act before it is introduced to Parliament later this year.

A public consultation period highlighted Victorians supported modernising the animal welfare act, with reforms indicating a widespread backing for key proposals that will further strengthen welfare provisions.

The State Government will use public and industry feedback sought on key

proposals for legal framework to replace the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1986, the POCTA Act. Consultations addressed improving the management of seized animals and supporting options that reduced the amount of time an animal was held while legal proceedings took place, such as transferring ownership.

Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said the proposals aimed to improve existing provisions under the act and supported Victoria’s reputation

for high standards of animal welfare.

“The POCTA Act has supported Victoria’s reputation for fostering a high standard of animal welfare for more than 30 years – and there is widespread support for strengthening it,” she said.

“It is time for new and improved laws that reflect the needs of our modern agricultural industries and the expectation of the public.”

State investment into traceability “Like” Us On Facebook

95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

T

he State Government is confident an $11.7-million investment to modernise agriculture traceability will support jobs growth and demand of Victorian food and fibre.

Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas announced the funding, part of the 2020-2021 budget, while visiting Ellinbank SmartFarm in Gippsland.

The investment is designed to reinforce Victoria’s agriculture sector and protect the long-term security of farmers by bolstering response systems in the event of biosecurity threats.

Ellinbank SmartFarm use sensors to provide traceable data on each dairy cow’s welfare, as well as the quality of the milk produced and its origin. This traceability system allows the customer to see the paddock-to-plate journey through all stages of production, processing and distribution.

Ms Thomas said in a citrus-industry traceability pilot supported by the State Government, unique codes on stickers were placed on oranges in Mildura. When scanned along the global supply chain, the codes confirm a Victorian orange’s bona fides.

Ms Thomas said the State Government’s new investment would build on similar projects with digitalised and interoperable systems – important tools in growing export reach.

She said in the year to November 2020, there were about 197,000 people employed in Victoria’s food and fibre production and manufacturing sectors – 89,000 in production and 108,000 in manufacturing.

“These traceability systems will underpin Victoria’s reputation across the globe as a producer of quality food and fibre products,” she said.

“Improved traceability is an emerging capability in the food supply chain that provides assurances to trading partners and consumers about how and where their food is produced.

“This new investment will be rolled out across the state with a focus on research and pilot projects, reinforcing Victoria’s 10-year Agriculture Strategy, which is working to promote and build confidence in the sector for international and domestic markets.

“It’s never been more important for our producers to be able to market paddock-to-plate traceability and provide assurances on their product’s integrity – both at home and around the globe.

“Our farmers are rightfully renowned for their produce. With this investment, we’ll back that reputation and the jobs that rely on it.

“This work will further move our agricultural traceability systems towards modern, digitalised systems – meaning more of Victoria’s food and fibre on the world stage.”

Barley yellow dwarf virus research A Victorian scientist has published a significant paper for the grains industry and growers, reporting on yield losses caused by barley yellow dwarf virus infection in wheat and barley.

Agriculture Victoria molecular epidemiologist Narelle Nancarrow said her three years of research would help growers understand the importance of disease control and the devastating effects viruses can have if left untreated.

“We investigated the effects of barley yellow dwarf virus on wheat and barley under typical south-eastern Australian conditions, and we harvested the grain to measure yield and yield components,” she said.

“We found the virus infection severely reduced grain yield by up to 84 percent in wheat and up to 64 percent in barley, with the grain number being the most affected.”

Aphids transmit barley yellow dwarf virus, BYDV, which significantly reduces the yield and quality of cereals worldwide.

With previous studies showing BYDV prevalent in cereal fields in south-eastern Australia, especially in higher rain

YIELD LOSS: Barley yellow dwarf virus infection in a barley crop. regions, yield losses caused by infection might be flying under the radar.

Ms Nancarrow said there was little that could be done after a plant was infected with the virus, therefore prevention and management were vital.

“Typical symptoms of BYDV infection include stunted growth and yellow or red leaf

discoloration that starts at the tip of the leaf and spreads towards the base,” she said.

“Leaf discoloration is typically bright yellow in barley, and yellow and-or reddish in wheat.”

Ms Nancarrow said she hoped the publishing of this research was a timely reminder to grain growers about the importance of managing disease risk yearround.

“It is important to control the grasses and volunteer cereals around the crop that could potentially be reservoirs for viruses and aphids, and to monitor crops regularly for the presence of aphids, virus symptoms and beneficial insects,” she said.

Management options include use of an appropriate insecticide if aphid numbers are high, particularly at sowing or early in the growing season, taking into consideration insecticide resistance and the effects on beneficial insects.

Ms Nancarrow said people seeking more information could visit a barley yellow dwarf virus page on the Agriculture Victoria website, agriculture.vic. gov.au, or read the research paper online at www.mdpi.com/ 2076-2607/9/3/645.

Final edition Curtains close on Mitsubishi’s flagship off-roader

M

itsubishi Motors Australia Limited’s venerable Pajero has finally reached the end of its line with production of the iconic off-roader winding up last month, yielding 800 ‘Final Edition’ vehicles for the market.

Arriving in showrooms priced $500 above their regular counterparts, the ‘Final Edition’ nameplate has been applied to all three Pajero trim levels – GLX, $54,990, GLS, $60,490 and Exceed, $63,490 – and refers quite simply to any example produced in March.

In exchange for the extra $500 and to help mark them out as the last of their kind, the Pajero Final Editions come as standard with a unique ‘Final Edition’ tailgate badge, tinted bonnet protector, ‘Final Edition’ carpet floor

mats, a rear cargo liner, rear boot flap and leather compendium.

All the rest of the standard kit is as per the respective trim levels, with the GLX sporting a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with DAB+ digital radio, Apple CarPlay-Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity, a leather steering wheel, climate control, LED daytime running lights, power folding door mirrors, cruise control, autodimming rearview mirror, a reversing camera, 17-inch alloys and automatic high beam.

The mid-range GLS ups the ante with bigger 18-inch alloys, chrome exterior trim, rear privacy glass, leather accented upholstery, heated front seats, 12-speaker Rockford premium audio system, rain-sensing wipers, dusk-sensing headlights and rear parking sensors.

At the top of the range, the Exceed adds even more chrome trim, aluminium pedals, illuminated front scuff plates, leather seats and an electric sunroof with tilt and slide functions.

All Pajeros feature a locking rear differential, low-range transfer case and Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited’s Super Select II four-wheel-drive system to help them navigate off-road terrain, helped further by 225mm of ground clearance and approach, departure and breakover angles of 36.6, 25 and 22.5 degrees respectively.

Wading depth is pegged at 700mm.

In terms of safety, all Pajeros sport emergency brake assist, active stability and traction controls, multi-mode anti-lock brakes, electronic brakeforce distribution, brake override system and the usual array of front, side and curtain airbags.

Just as it has since 2009, the familiar turbocharged 3.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine continues to churn out 147kW-441Nm with drive sent to the road via a five-speed automatic transmission.

As reported by GoAuto in July last year, the Pajero’s demise has been brought about by the ‘small but beautiful’ mid-term business plan, which aims to reduce fixed costs by 20 percent or more, most of which – up to 15 percent – is set to be made through redundancies and other ‘headcount rationalisation’ measures.

The financial woes were largely attributed to the crippling effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with decidedly average sales performances in recent years not helping the Pajero’s case.

Slow sales ultimately proved to be

the final nail in the coffin for the Prado rival, with the Triton-based Pajero Sport outselling its bigger and more expensive stablemate more than three times over in the first half of 2020.

The now 15-year-old Pajero recovered somewhat in the second half of the year to chalk up 2399 sales, but that was only enough to snag a 2.6 percent share of the sub-$70,000 large SUV segment compared with the 6.6 percent share of the Pajero Sport – its fate was sealed.

It has been a similar story so far this year ending April, with the Pajero Sport once again outselling its bigger cousin more than twice over, 2132 v 1032 sales, however neither can hold a candle to the Toyota Prado’s 5347 sales at 15.6 percent share.

Ram charges in with new pick-up

R

am Trucks Australia has simultaneously unveiled and priced its new-generation 1500 pick-up truck, with the big loadlugger growing even larger in its new ‘DT’ form.

NEW GENERATION: DT Ram 1500 variants receive new styling, new interior and mild hybrid tech.

Despite the new electrification tech, combined fuel consumption remains pegged at 12.2 litres per 100 kilometres.

As before, drive in all variants is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and part time four-wheel-drive system, still featuring a low-range transfer case and locking rear differential.

Befitting of a new model, the DTs don updated styling and cabin features with a completely redesigned centre

console freeing up more storage space and simultaneously improving ergonomics.

Standard equipment on the highly specified duo includes heated leather accented bucket front seats with 10way power adjustment, 60:40 split folding rear seats, 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen featuring Apple CarPlay-Android Auto connectivity, a reversing camera, Bluetooth, 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound

system, dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, keyless entry and start, automatic LED headlights, power adjustable and heated door mirrors, cylinder deactivation, disc brakes in all four corners, multi-link rear suspension, heavy-duty towbar and trailer brake control.

The RamBox Cargo Management System has been carried over to the new model, being optionally available on the Laramie, $5000, and included

Only the higher end variants have been released at this stage, checking in from $114,950 plus on-road costs.

The new model range consists exclusively of the Laramie and Limited Launch Edition trim levels, while the lower end of the range will be made up of the existing ‘DS’ Express and Warlock variants.

The MY21 Limited will also be retained for the time being.

Despite being a new model, the DT variants are still powered by the familiar 5.7-litre Hemi V8 petrol engine developing 291kW-556Nm. With no diesel currently being offered, the big bent-eight has been fitted with a new mild hybrid system which combines a belt-driven generator unit with a 48-volt battery pack to gift the V8 start-stop functionality, short-term torque assist and brake energy regeneration in the name of efficiency.

Much like Mercedes-Benz’s ISG system, the generator can also intermittently contribute some extra torque to the driveline under hard acceleration, but Ram has not disclosed an official figure.

as standard on the Limited Launch Edition.

Range-wide safety equipment still extends to ABS, traction and stability control, electronic brakeforce distribution, trailer sway control, hill start assist, collapsible steering column and height adjustable front seatbelts.

Ram Trucks Australia national manager Jeff Barber said he was delighted to welcome the new-generation 1500.

He said there would be more to come from the brand.

“The all-new 1500 DT marks the culmination of a detailed planning, development, remanufacturing and testing program with our Australian and global partners, including Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in the US,” he said.

“The DT version now swells our 1500 range to five diverse models, from the price-leading Express Quad to Crew Cab, Warlock II and now DT versions of Laramie and Limited.

“With the all-new 2500 and 3500 also arriving later this year – and some other exciting developments – 2021 looks set to be a record year for Ram Trucks Australia.”

Ram Trucks Australia has sold 1044 examples of the outgoing 1500 so far this year ending April, accounting for 1.7 percent of the booming 4x4 pickup market.

Hybrids set to replace Bentley W12 entley Motor Company has just nine years to separate itself from combustion engines as it attempts to be ‘environmentally and ethically transparent’ in its transition to an all-electric vehicle line-up by 2030.

While V8 and W12 petrol engines form the historical legacy of the British luxury marque, Bentley says it will offer a plug-in hybrid version of every model by 2024, and that the current W12 engine – a substantially new powertrain that debuted in late-2017 in the third-gen Continental GT – will be discontinued within five years.

Speaking to Australian motoring media at the recent MY21 Bentayga launch, Bentley chief executive Adrian Hallmark confirmed widespread hybridisation of its line-up was already happening – starting in Australia with the Flying Spur plug-in hybrid in the second quarter of 2022 – and its first battery-electric vehicle, BEV, was ‘now definitely due by the end of 2025’.

“It’s all about making us ready for this electrified future for Bentley,” Mr Hallmark said.

“It’s quite ironic that the 12-cylinder has been the bedrock of the Bentley story, but there’s no doubt that within five years that engine will not exist, and that’s a sad statement.

“But faced with this and the ever-

SEPARATION: Bentley plans to abandon combustion engines within five years.

growing knowledge about the impact on climate, with the technologies that we now know are available and especially with customer trends that we’re picking up through our research and through our dialogue, we’ve fully embraced that electrified, carbon-neutral future. We actually see, for us as a company, that next big strategic leap.”

But Mr Hallmark also admitted that Bentley plans to make the most of the time it has left building on its combustion-engine heritage.

“Please, don’t worry, because for the next nine years, we will celebrate to the nth degree everything that we do – in eight cylinders, in hybrids and in 12 cylinders – and we’ll do the best

Bentleys we’ve ever done,” he said.

“We’ll send this combustion-engine technology era out with the maximum fireworks and product highlights that we possibly can, and engage with existing customers as we make the shift towards electrification.”

While the Bentayga plug-in hybrid is already available in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and China, the Flying Spur plug-in hybrid will be the first electrified Australian-market Bentley.

The Bentayga hybrid combines a 3.0-litre turbo-petrol V6 with a 17.3kWh lithium-ion battery for combined system outputs of 330kW700Nm. It is capable of 0-100kmh in a claimed 5.5 seconds, has a top speed

of the QL Sportage built between 2016 and 2021, and 1648 examples of the Stinger from 2017-2019.

Sportage examples were sold between April 14, 2015 and October 20, 2020, while the Stingers in question were sold between December 14, 2016 and March 27, 2019.

Given the risk of fire at any time, Kia Australia is urging vehicle owners to not park their vehicle indoors, such as in a garage, or nearby any flammable materials.

The Korean car-maker will contact all known owners of the affected vehicles by mail and owners are urged to contact their nearest dealer to arrange an inspection and repair of the vehicle free of charge.

Concerned owners can head to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s Product Safety website for further information and a complete list of affected model VIN numbers.

ia Australia has been forced to recall 57,851 combined examples of its Sportage medium SUV and Stinger large sedan over a potential fire risk stemming from an electrical fault.

While recalls due to potential fire hazards are not uncommon, Kia’s issue is arguably more severe as the fire hazard remains even when the car is switched off.

The defect stems from the hydraulic electronic control unit, HECU, which handles the operation of the anti-lock braking, electronic stability control and traction control systems.

In the affected vehicles, the HECU can remain on even when the car has been switched off, and if moisture enters the HECU, it can cause an electrical short circuit.

A short circuit has the potential to cause a fire in the engine compartment, which could result in bodily harm or property damage.

The affected vehicles include 56,203 examples

of 254kmh and achieves 3.3L-100km on the NEDC combined fuel cycle.

Mr Hallmark said the Flying Spur Hybrid was literally as refined as the W12 ‘but the economy of the vehicle is truly incredible’.

“So even if it doesn’t meet the most strict city limits in terms of CO2 certification numbers, in the real world you can get between 3.9 and 0.8 litres per 100 kilometres in your daily use of the vehicle,” he said.

As for what’s coming from Bentley, Mr Hallmark is bullish about what the Volkswagen-owned British marque is set to deliver.

“The next generation of hybrids, which will be about two to three years

away, will be with more powerful engines and more battery power, so you’ll end up with more power than the W12,” he said.

“This should reduce our total CO2 footprint by between 60 and 70 percent in the real world, and then in 2025 we launch the first battery-electric vehicle – it’ll actually be early ’26 before we see it broad-scale across the world on the road.

“And from ’26 to ’29, we then systematically go from ICE to electric in every nameplate over that three to four-year period, so we really are on an extraordinary journey from that perspective.”

With a completely refreshed model range, Bentley sales have been setting records in the lead-up towards electrification.

Global volume reached 11,206 units in 2020, with sales up a further 40 percent in the first quarter of 2021 – even though the order rate is higher than Bentley’s delivery rate.

In Australia, Bentley achieved 165 sales in 2020, down 14 percent on 2019 mainly due to stock shortages in the transition to facelifted Bentayga and new-generation Flying Spur.

Year-to-date in 2021, Bentley sales are up 23 percent to 64 units – 28 Continentals, 26 Bentaygas and 10 Flying Spurs.

11/4/1939 - 21/5/2021 To Our Dearest Nana, Such a privilege and blessing to have been in your presence and to be embraced by your never ending and limitless love. Grief is the price we pay, and our tears speak only of the calibre of your dedication, apprise and love for all of your 7 grandchildren. Thank you for making us feel valued, motivating us to work harder, and most importantly to be good and kind people.

We hope you’re causing trouble up there telling everyone to put their jackets on, to stay for tea, and bombarding them with the latest idea for a name (that you think is lovely but makes us all cringe) for your first great grandchild that’s coming.

We love you, appreciate you, and proud to call you our nan, with our love, Tyler Humphris, Delaney & Mitchell Cronin, Broedyn & Sean.

The Funeral Will be held in Horsham at 2:30pm on Thursday May 27 at the Horsham Anglican Church.

(nee Heslop) 28.7.1933 - 13.5.2021 The sun still rises in the east and darkness falls at night, But nothing now seems quite the same; each day is not as bright.

The birds still sing, the flowers grow, the breeze still whispers too, But it will never ever be the same world without you.

It’s so sad that you had to go; your leaving caused such pain, But you were so very special and earth’s loss is heaven’s gain.

Now at peace.

Beloved wife of Kevin (Mick).

Much loved Mum and Nanna of Sharon, Jeramie, Leanne, Alexander, Caroline, Cody, Sapphira and Julian (dec).

Adored Nan Nan of Sway, Zander & Jaymz (dec).

PAYMENT Cash, cheque, Mastercard, Visa accepted.

Christian Devotions

HORSHAM – FULL TIME

Whom shall I fear?

Have you ever felt hopeless, with your back against the wall, with no apparent way out of your current circumstances? Have you thought that maybe God isn’t listening to your prayers, and you have to figure it out all on your own? David felt like this many times as he was running for his life from King Saul. He was essentially a fugitive in his own country, even though God had promised him the kingdom. He was trapped time and time again with seemingly no way out. David is very transparent with his emotions in Psalms 13:1, “How long, Oh Lord? Will You forget me forever?” But time and time again God rescued him and delivered him from impossible circumstances.

Even when things seemed frightful or distressing, David knew that when he gave his life over to God, He would work things out for his good. In Psalms 27:1 he writes, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Do the troubles of today seem overwhelming? Is the enemy trying to lead you to fear and despair? God is telling you today: “I AM the strength of your life, if you put your faith in Me you have nothing to be afraid about. Just as I worked a way out for David when it seemed impossible, I can do the same for you.”.

Wimmera hockey taking shape W

BY SIMON KING

ith all Wimmera Hockey Association teams now having played each opponent once, ladders are taking shape.

All are getting a feel for what they need to do in the coming weeks to set themselves up for a tilt at the finals.

Originally scheduled to be played entirely at Kaniva, the association has rearranged round six as a split round with Dimboola due to Kaniva’s second ground being unavailable this weekend.

All games involving Kaniva and Yanac will be at Kaniva and Horsham, Nhill, Dimboola and Warracknabeal teams will play at Dimboola.

The weekend’s biggest game will be the top-of-the-table clash in the women’s competition when undefeated Yanac takes on its closest rival, Kaniva.

While it is difficult to tip against a team that is yet to lose a game, Kaniva is the best-placed opponent to cause an upset.

In the open game at Kaniva, fifthplaced Kaniva Cobras need a win to stay within reach of the top four, but will need to inflict the first defeat on Yanac Tigers if they are to do it this week.

Kaniva Raiders are still looking for their first win in the under-16 compe-

tition, but it is unlikely to come this weekend against the undefeated Yanac Warriors.

The turf pitch at Dimboola will host several significant games in the open competition.

After a solid start to the season, Nhill Rangers have experienced a lean patch with losses in the past two rounds and will have to play at their best to overcome Horsham Hurricanes.

Although yet to win a game this season, the Hurricanes pushed the Tigers last week and are the only opponent to score multiple goals against the ladder leader this year.

Both Warrack Hoops and Dimboola Burras have won their past two games, and both boast a style of play suited to the artificial surface.

An entertaining game is anticipated when these two teams meet on Saturday afternoon.

Their last encounter was abandoned without a result when a player was injured, so this is the first opportunity for one of them to claim bragging rights and the higher rung on the ladder.

The women’s game at this venue will involve Nhill Thunderbirds playing Horsham Jets.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

The Nhill team is fresh off the bye and is keen to keep its early-season momentum, while the Jets are yet to live up to early season expectations following injuries to several key players.

The Jets need to find form soon if they are to be a serious contender later in the season.

In under-16 competition, Horsham Bombers take on Nhill Leopards, where second place on the ladder will be the prize for the winner.

Last round, the Bombers lost their first game for the season, to Yanac Warriors, but did not have their stron-

gest team on the field and the Leopards enjoyed a solid victory, so this game should also be a close one.

Both venues will feature the under12 development program at 12.30pm.

Results – Open: Warrack Hoops 2 (goals, B. Williamson, J. Williamson; best, C. Bardell, O. Bennett, F. Eilola, L. Klemm) d Nhill Rangers 0 (D. Schwarz, H. Pearse, L. Marra, A. Albrecht), Dimboola Burras 2 (T. Jorgensen, Z. Collard; D. Danisch, T. Jorgensen, B. Tischler) d Kaniva Cobras 1 (D. Cole; C. Beattie, L. Mills, D. Shalders), Yanac Tigers 7 (T. Alexander 2, B. Alexander 2, J. Harding, S. Alexander, J. Cramer; B. Alexander, N. Alexander, S. Farmers, J. Cramer) d Horsham Hurricanes 3 (P. Mackereth, T. Batchelor, W. Gulline; W. Gulline, T. Roberts, J. Horsfall, P. Mackereth).

Women: Kaniva Women 6 (O. Williams 2, L. Stimson, Q. Pearse, H. White; L. Stimson, Q. Pearse, O. Williams) d Dimboola Roos 1 (T. Engelbrecht; C. Hadzig, A. Rintoule, T. Engelbrecht), Yanac Women 8 (C. Smith 2, A. Farmers 2, M. Farmers 2, L. Bone, E. Alexander; L. Bone, C. Smith, M. Farmers, N. Harding) d Horsham Jets 0 (E. Morrow, I. Gulline, R. Batchelor, K.

Lions lick wounds in Mininera footy

BY JONATHAN BOX

G

reat Western has dropped to fourth on Mininera and District Football League’s ladder after its second straight loss for the season.

The Lions’ most recent loss came at the hands of Woorndoo-Mortlake, which is exerting its dominance on the league.

It was a close game between the Lions and Tigers, and also a shoot-out between the two league-leading goal kickers.

Grant Cameron for Woorndoo-Mortlake and Great Western’s Damon Folkes were able to add another six majors to their season tallies.

Joshua Hustler, Ryan Folkes and Nigel Sibson were among better players in the loss and they, with their team-mates, will be looking to redeem themselves and get back on the board with a win over Caramut this week.

Caramut, which has been struggling this season, registered its biggest loss so far when

SEARCH: Great Western’s Joshua Hustler was among better players at the weekend. it went down to Tatyoon by 317 points last weekend.

Mark Jones, Joshua Stapleton and Ashley Johnstone were best players for the Swans, however they will be in for another long day this weekend.

SMW Rovers, coming off their second win in a row, will also have a big challenge this week,

when they play undefeated Tatyoon. The Rovers were off to a good start at the weekend against Wickliffe-Lake Bolac, booting five unanswered goals.

However, they took their foot off the pace in the second term to let the Magpies back into the contest going into half time.

It was a good, hard tussle in the second half with the Bulldogs walking away six-goal victors.

Matt Mulcahy, Darcy Osborne and Justin Kennedy were among the best for the Bulldogs, but it will take a four-quarter effort from the whole team if they want a chance against the Hawks.

Tatyoon is sitting on top of the ladder undefeated showing it is again a league powerhouse.

The Hawks booted a massive 48 goals at the weekend in a scoreline that could have been more severe considering they had 79 scoring attempts.

Ben Clay kicked another 11 goals for the Hawks, while Ryan Bates, Sam Cronin and William Henderson provided plenty of support.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Wimmera wide open A

Wimmera 2021 netball premiership appears up for grabs after the week-to-week surprises continue to reflect an even and well-matched competition.

A takeaway assessment from last week’s round of A Grade matches was that any team appears capable of winning the grand final and teams are likely to be fighting to simply finish in the top five.

This week Horsham takes on Minyip-Murtoa in Horsham with the Demons sitting second and the Burras hovering in eighth spot.

Minyip-Murtoa was unlucky against Stawell last week, going down 50-56 and will find the going just as tough against the Demons.

Horsham’s Jedda Heard and Georgie Carberry should be too tall for the Burras’ defenders.

With the Demons rotating players through the centre the likes of Tamika Mentha and Georgia and Ally Hiscock might also be too slick with their passing into the ring for the visitors.

Minyip-Murtoa’s Meg Cashin and Laura Delahunty are also fast and strong in attack, which means Horsham will need to apply pressure to limit their influence.

Dimboola meets Southern Mallee Giants and Dimboola could well be the surprise packet to upset the Gi-

ants, fresh from a 41-34 win over Horsham. But all the cards would need to fall into place for the Roos to claim an upset victory.

Dimboola’s 42-31 win against a strong Eagles side, albeit with the Eagles without Megan Werner, proves the Roos are more than capable.

Ruby Redford and Nicole Polycarpou were reliable players for the green and gold last week so the Giants would be ill-advised to underestimate them.

Dimboola’s juniors did a good job for the Roos and will only improve.

Dimboola’s Olivia Jorgensen and Emily Polack will match the Giants’ Steph Thomson and Zali Brown for height.

as both teams fight for a place in the five. Both teams are also coming off a loss and will be keen to rebound strongly.

The Saints shuffled players positionally last week so it will be interesting to see starting positions as players walk onto the court.

Match-ups will be the subject of intense contests with the Eagles’ Emma Koschitzke and Sarah Spicer up against Ashlee Grace and Jess Cannane.

The Saints’ Jess Farrow and Abby Hallam will take on Kiani Stewart, Jess Kelly and Jenna Schulz and Kiana Marshman and Elly Barnett are a possibility to meet with Eagles Briodi McKenzie and youngster Molly Stewart.

The Eagles have in-depth understanding of their players’ strengths and their whole-court defence could provide an advantage in overcoming any shortcomings in individual tussles.

Confidence boost

Nhill welcomes Ararat to Nhill and Ararat’s strong 56-36 win against Horsham Saints would have to be confidence boosting for the visitors.

Ararat’s goaling duo of Delaney McLoughlan and Tayla Borrelli have to a certain degree gone under the radar and are building a solid partnership.

The Rats’ Jesse Bligh and Monique Scott will have a good tussle with Nhill’s Jenna Schneider and Tess McQueen.

One of the games of the round will be a Blue Ribbon Cup clash between Warrack Eagles and Horsham Saints

Tight tussle at top

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

N

oradjuha-Quantong and Kaniva-Leeor United are establishing themselves as Horsham District A Grade competition threats, with both sides victorious against fellow top-six sides on Saturday.

The Cougars, third, and Bombers, fourth, are now sitting on 20 points, the same as second-placed Harrow-Balmoral and four points behind reigning premier Laharum.

The Southern Roos had been enjoying an undefeated season, until they tackled the Bombers in a thriller at Harrow at the weekend.

The Roos got off to the better start, taking a five-goal lead into the first break and maintaining a four-goal buffer at half and three-quarter time.

But the Bombers, who were in the hunt all day, enjoyed a late charge, hitting the front for the first time with about five minutes to go.

The Roos scored a goal right on full time, but the Bombers held on to win the match by a solitary goal, 36-35.

Both defences performed well throughout the match, particularly Roos coach Ebonie Salter, who along with Kate Vickery presents one of the league’s strongest defensive combinations.

Team-mate Olivia Muldoon also im-

pressed in centre and wing defence, while midcourters Ash McKinnon and Jayne Tucker were again pivotal for the Bombers.

The other match of the round was less eventful, with Kaniva-Leeor United enjoying an all-the-way win over Jeparit-Rainbow at Rainbow.

The Storm has enjoyed a good start to the season but needs to start claiming some scalps to be seen as a threat.

Defenders Bridget McKenzie and Penny Fisher were good in the loss and will be vital against Swifts this week, up against accurate shooters Michaela Armer and Jade Ralph.

This match is shaping to be the best of the round, with the Storm needing a win to stay in touch with the ladder leaders and Swifts looking to break into the top six. The ladder is tight in the middle stages, with the Kees, Storm and Rams all on 12 points.

While the Cougars are travelling along nicely, they are yet to face Noradjuha-Quantong or Laharum, so time will tell.

Elizabeth Hawker is proving to be a key player in the Cougars’ quest to advance up the ladder, enjoying a best-on-court performance in goal keeper on Saturday.

Nikki Hawker was also among the side’s better players, contributing 18 goals in the 52-31 triumph.

Kaniva-Leeor United should con-

tinue on its winning way this week when it meets a young Pimpinio outfit, which is still hoping for a breakthrough win.

The Tigers were on the receiving end of an 84-goal hiding by Laharum, 9410, but to their credit never gave up despite the increasing margin.

Deni Sordello and Anna Habel had their work cut out for them in defence, with Demons spearhead Caitlin Dumesny finishing with a 71-goal haul.

Centre Liv Jones and defender Ema Iredell topped scorecards for the team, which will line up against Natimuk in round seven.

The pair last met in a grand final clash for the ages, but the rematch is looking a little different despite many of the same players participating.

The Rams are still looking to recover some of their shooting power after losing Shannon Couch to the Bombers and for the first time in a long time, find themselves out of the six.

There were positive signs at the weekend, however, with the Rams returning to the winners list against Edenhope-Apsley.

The match was hard-fought early but Natimuk United’s experience helped it pull away in the second half to record a 14-goal victory.

Defender Casey Vanstan and goal attack Danielle Fleay were again standouts, while the young Saints were best

served by midcourter Dulcie Shirrefs and versatile Georgia Baxter.

The Saints will be out for an upset win over Kalkee this week, but the Kees – who would have been happy to hold off Rupanyup – need another win to stay in touch.

Defenders Clair McDonald and Katie Ruwoldt performed well and will make life tough for the Saints goalies.

The match could be close, but the Kees should have the experience to get over the line.

The Panthers, who were always in with a chance of winning, had Kiarah House in good form up both ends of the court.

Kayla Woods worked hard in goal attack but will find the going tough

again against Noradjuha-Quantong this week.

The Bombers and Panthers usually enjoy a good tussle, but the Bombers have more depth and should be too strong this time around.

Results: Noradjuha-Quantong d Harrow-Balmoral 36-35; Natimuk United d Edenhope-Apsley 35-21; Laharum d Pimpinio 94-10, Kalkee d Rupanyup 40-34, Kaniva-Leeor United d Jeparit-Rainbow 52-31.

Panthers, Bombers in key match

BY DEAN LAWSON

T

hey keep wheeling them in and they keep knocking them down. That seems to be the underpinning story for both NoradjuhaQuantong and Rupanyup as a Horsham District football picture gains clarity.

Both sit unbeaten with six wins each at the top of the ladder, and while the party continues for one after Saturday, it will end, albeit briefly, for the other.

Noradjuha-Quantong and Rupanyup will meet at Quantong on Saturday in what shapes, to date, as the game of the season.

Get the winter woollies and thermos ready because this game will be worth packing the family up for a big day at the footy.

Rupanyup showed off its strength with a profound 41-point win over Kalkee at Rupanyup last week, while Noradjuha-Quantong held on to beat Harrow-Balmoral by the barest of margins at Harrow.

The results set the foundations for a massive showdown this weekend.

Rupanyup, with Elliot Kelly, Mitch Gleeson and Jarryd Graham on song last week and Jack Musgrove continuing to be a primary goal-kicker, appears an obvious pace-setter.

But Noradjuha-Quantong is also responding to everything thrown at it this season and will be particularly

hard to beat at home. On Saturday the Bombers had players such as Nigel Kelly, James Greig, Zachary Kelly, Jye Walter and Heath Schulz all shining.

Another big game building this weekend is an encounter between Jeparit-Rainbow and Swifts.

The teams are sitting fifth and fourth respectively and on the same number of wins and losses.

They will lock horns at Jeparit, where the winner will go some way to consolidating a position in the top four.

Both had good wins at the weekend, Jeparit-Rainbow scoring a comprehensive 75-point victory over KanivaLeeor and Swifts needing to work hard to overwhelm a willing Taylors Lake by 38 points.

The big news out of the match at Rainbow was an 11-goal haul to Jeparit-Rainbow’s Ben Warren.

Post-match details more than suggest he was the primary difference between the teams, with Peter Weir, Ash Clugston and Scott Driscoll providing primary support.

The goal-kicking story was similar for Swifts against the Lakers, with Todd Matthews kicking seven for the winners as Liam Scott, Scott Carey and Jakob Salmi led the Baggies’ charge.

Taylors Lake has taken a few by surprise with a growing competitive-

ness and will grit the teeth again when it travels to Balmoral to take on the Southern Roos.

The Lakers, with Trae Martin, Lee Marshall and Jack McRae leading the way, fought back hard against Swifts last week and might have been closer had they not tripped up in the third term.

But Harrow-Balmoral will be stung by its narrow loss.

James Staude kicked seven goals in a losing team last week, which had Will Burbury, Will Plush and Tom Conheady playing well.

Kalkee will also be keen to bounce back and should be too good for Edenhope-Apsley at Apsley.

The Kees were light on for multiple goal-kickers last week but Ben Lawson stood out with three majors while Pat Purcell and Jasper Gunn flew the flag.

Edenhope-Apsley came a gutser against Natimuk United, crashing by 93 points despite the efforts of Kane Williams, Dylan Vanzini and Jeremy Kealy.

The Saints ran into a Rams team on a goal-kicking rampage and Natimuk United will turn its attention to Laharum.

Nathan Koenig kicked 12 goals in a sterling performance, taking his season tally to 26, with Nick Groves the next best with five.

Dylan Bates shone in the big win for

the Rams and Adam Coutts and Mitch Riddell also impressed.

Laharum notched up its second win for the season last week, beating Pimpinio by 20 points with Tom Crawford kicking four goals and the likes of Shannon Argall and Jarrod Kemp important in the win.

Kaniva-Leeor United, meanwhile, will be keen to respond to a heavy loss

to the Storm when it plays Pimpinio.

Last week the Cougars had Dylan Collis kicking three goals while Hamish Bennett and Liam Vivian worked against the tide.

Pimpinio, still searching for a win, has the likes of Nathan Clough, Dylan Arnott and Dylan Baker playing well but appears light-on in firepower.

Roos size up second-placed Giants D

BY DEAN LAWSON

imboola will have an opportunity to stake a serious claim as a premiership contender on Saturday when it takes on Southern Mallee Giants at home.

The Roos are sitting fourth amid a log-jam at the top end of the ladder and this weekend’s match represents a cornerstone to their season.

The second-placed Giants will also welcome the challenge and use the contest to consolidate a belief they also present a threat for end-of-season celebrations.

Both sides go into the contest having enjoyed comfortable victories last weekend.

The Roos crushed Warrack Eagles in a show of strength at Warracknabeal, while the Giants jumped Horsham before cruising to a 57-point victory.

At Warracknabeal’s Anzac Park, Dimboola shrugged off the home team before putting the foot down in the second half, ultimately beating the Eagles by 102 points.

Goal-kickers aplenty emerged for the green and gold, with Jack Landt continuing his purple patch with another goal haul, this time kicking five.

Dylan Tarczon and lofty Mitch Jorgensen were others to enjoy the day, booting four and three respectively as strong Jackson O’Neill made his presence felt and others such as Tom Cree, Brock Landt and Sam Polack conspired for a big result.

The Giants had to work harder against Horsham at Hopetoun, but six unanswered goals in the opening term gave the home side a considerable edge for

much of the contest. Ed Lindon led the charge for the Giants and Nick Dinham, six goals, and Lucas Cook, four, enjoyed the majority of goal-front spoils.

Others such as Leigh Stewart, Sam White and Clint Burdett gathered votes on the day.

The contest under the gums at Dimboola could well be one of the highlights of the season.

A high degree of uncertainty surrounds Horsham’s ability to threaten for the finals this season and the seventh-placed Demons must conjure something special when they confront Minyip-Murtoa.

The Demons have a win-loss record of two-three so far this season, slipping up against the likes of the Giants last weekend, but also Ararat and Horsham Saints in the past four weeks.

Horsham has a strong primary core of players but appears lean across the lines, which means its scoring opportunities become limited in the heat of battle.

Last week, Horsham had Matt Wynne winning best-player honours with Rhona Conboy, Dyson Parish, Billy Carberry and Tyler Blake all busy.

But the Demons look outgunned against a Minyip-Murtoa side, which has ramped up its mid-season intensity.

The Burras brought Stawell’s unbeaten run to a grinding halt at Minyip on Saturday, trouncing the Warriors to the tune of 66 points.

Stawell stayed with the home side for a quarter but watched a margin between the sides grow as the game progressed.

Brayden Ison bagged seven goals for the winners as livewire Nick Petering, consistent Jake Ballagh, Kade Petering and John Delahunty helped fabricate a

comprehensive winning formula. It’s the Burras’ versatility and firepower in front of the sticks, as well as a stoic defensive end, that has alarm bells ringing for Horsham.

Sixth-placed Ararat, with three wins and three losses, will be listening closely for results at Minyip as it attempts to beat Nhill, at Nhill.

But the Rats can ill-afford to take too much time to ponder what’s happening elsewhere, with all reports suggesting winless Nhill is no pushover.

In fact, players across the league are reporting the Tigers among some of the toughest opposition in general play in the competition.

Ararat’s seven-point win over Horsham Saints last week was a good one in the context of the season and set the platform for the Rats to secure a string of confidence-boosting victories.

Henry Shea won the votes for the Rats last week, alongside Corey Taylor, who bagged six goals, while Brody Griffin, Baydn Cosgriff and Cody Lindsay shone.

The Saints will need to rebuild their stores of confidence and have an opportunity against Warrack Eagles in a Blue Ribbon Foundation match at Warracknabeal.

But the Eagles, searching for their first win of the season, will see the contest as an opportunity to take a scalp.

Amid the disappointment of last week, the Eagles had Jacob Sobey, Caleb Powell, Dane Stewart and Riley Morrow standing up.

For the Saints, Dan Rees, Sam Clyne, Xander McRae and Luke Hendy topped best-player cards.

Casual Monaghan rewarded with ‘stunning’ win Leon Monaghan is a handy tennis player, but not once in his 55 years had he given any thought to competitive running.

But good emerged from the doldrums of lockdown when Monaghan, for ‘something to do’, joined his 17-year-old daughter Elise, a promising junior athlete and gymnast, in casual runs that became a habit and then something more serious.

Still, he needed some coaxing from fellow racquet man Nathan Baker to embrace Stawell Amateur Athletic

Club and commit to something as foreign to him as cross country running.

His first two runs yielded an unflattering 16th and a 20th, but in the eight-kilometre Best’s Wines Classic at Great Western on Saturday, Monaghan was rewarded with a stunning win.

“I saw someone moving along at a good steady pace and didn’t so much as chase him but kept him in sight and he sort of dragged me along,” he said.

The runner ahead clung to a narrow

advantage, but when handicaps were applied, positions were reversed and Monaghan was a neat 30 seconds clear of the nearest chasers.

“For me, getting out and having a run is not about winning, but I was absolutely shocked. I had no idea that might happen,” Monaghan said.

Stawell Amateur Athletic Club and Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club ran together in separate events with different results and different sets of handicaps.

Wiry veteran Keith Lofthouse rep-

resented both Stawell and Ararat cross country clubs and the amateurs in the race-within-a-race and notched his 12th win in his 14 years with SACCC. “I marked the course and I was anxious to see it got off smoothly and that charges me with a certain amount of adrenalin,” he said.

“That kind of juice is only good for about four kilometres before fatigue sets in, but half a race run at speed is better than none.”

Lofthouse finished with more than a minute to spare from daredevil Paula

Pettingill, who raced without sense of preservation and ‘blew up’ with two kilometres to run.

Endurance runner Matilda Iglesias was runner-up in the amateurs race and topped off her fine day with a third on debut with the Ararat club.

The amateurs return to the Stawell Ironbarks on Saturday for a five-kilometre Stan and Karen Watson Handicap while on Sunday the Ararat club is at ‘home’ for an eight-kilometre Thomson Family Handicap.

Fun runners are welcome.

Volleyball race for finals tight

BY DAVID BERRY

T

he final round of Volleyball Horsham’s summer season for A and B grades will involve keenly contested matches as the race for ladder positions intensifies.

The top two positions on the A Grade ladder are locked away, with Heidelberg and Shados Inala each having the double chance.

They will square off against each other in a second semi-final preview, with both teams marching towards finals in red-hot form.

The game of most interest will be first up when Pegasus and Volleyroos face off. Both teams are hard to follow, with inconsistency their trademarks.

If Pegasus can get its full team on the court it will be hard to beat.

Volleyroos have suffered with the absence of their setter Kimberley Crabtree.

Captain Jack Hannan has to decide on whether to move Jordy Weidemann into that role or try something different.

The availability of Hannan’s sister Emily will be crucial to Volleyroos chances.

The final game should see a full-strength Phantoms have little trouble in accounting for Von Steiger Bloods.

In B Grade, the pressure will be on Waterhammers as they fight to retain their hold

on top spot on the ladder when they battle improving Parma Army.

Parma Army sits third on the ladder and has been in red-hot form, on the back of recruiting high-leaping Doug Grining in recent weeks. The big man covers plenty of space when he is on the net in defence and is hard to get past, then backs that up with big-hitting on attack.

In other games, the improving Von Steiger Boomers, with Tom and Josh Milbourne in fine form, should have little worries when they take on Von Steiger Bloods.

Pat Pignataro will give his all for the Bloods, but the Boomers should be too even across the board.

Von Steiger Barbarians will test themselves against Von Steiger Shadows in case they square off against each other next week when finals roll around.

Luke McCallum and Pascall Patterson are consistent for the Barbarians, but they don’t have the answers on the net when Adam Harrison and Rohan Sanders attack.

The final game of the home-and-away season should see Heidelberg Masters bounce back onto the winners list when they take on Von Steiger Gangsters.

Both C Grade and junior divisions have a week to go before finals start, with the race for finals spots still on in earnest for C Grade teams. Juniors positions are set.

Blue Ribbon clash at Warracknabeal Wimmera Football Netball League clubs Warrack Eagles and Horsham Saints will battle it out for Blue Ribbon trophies at Warracknabeal this weekend.

The clubs play annually to acknowledge police officers who have died in the line of duty.

Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham branch president Dale Rus-

sell said the match had become a regular Wimmera league fixture between the clubs.

“The football and netball games commemorate the unfortunate loss of 170 police officers,” he said.

Warrack Eagles netballer Emma Koschitzke said the blue-ribbon aspect of the round

provided extra meaning to the weekend.

“It provides a little bit more incentive to the round and for us it will be a good match,” she said.

Horsham Saints footballer Mitch Martin agreed.

“Warrack is a pretty young and we’re pretty young as well. It’s for a good cause,” he said.

Precinct brief to consider six sites S

BY DEAN LAWSON

ix potential sites for a multi-sporting precinct in Horsham will be subject to scrutiny after council endorsement of a revised project-planning brief.

Horsham Rural City Council voted at a meeting on Monday night to proceed with a Wimmera Regional Multi-Sport Precinct Feasibility Study on Monday night.

The $60,000 price tag for planning includes $30,000 in Sport and Recreation Victoria funding with the project due for completion by January 31, 2022.

The council has already identified a Jenkinson Avenue site in Horsham West and Horsham Showground as potential areas for the development.

But as a new commissioned study and under SRV directions regarding the prospects of future funding for the project, it must assess at least six sites inclusive of the two the council has already nominated.

Cr Penny Flynn moved to endorse the updated consultant’s brief and release the brief to the market, a move seconded by Cr Les Power.

Cr Flynn said it was important to recognise that Horsham was a regional centre providing for a broad range of sporting needs.

“We need to develop and plan for the future.

I’m looking forward to where this leads,” she said.

Cr Power: “We need this brief to get out there – to get out there and have a look around to see what facilities we have and what area of Horsham that his facility could go. It is one of those things that is a must and we need the community to get right behind us. As councillors we need to push a motion like this for regional growth.

“This could all build to a better and better Horsham.”

Mayor Robyn Gulline emphasised that identifying six sites was an essential part of the planning report “Once they determine the most appropriate site it will come back to the council for us to resolve and acknowledge the chosen site and a further detailed assessment of that site will be undertaken,” she said.

“No one knows where that chosen site will be until the first phase of this analysis is done. So this feasibility study is a really important first step in our long-term future as regional city.”

Plans for a sporting precinct is part of an evolution of a concept to develop an indoor sporting stadium in Horsham.

The site of the stadium, at one stage earmarked for a McBryde Street development at Horsham Showground, has generated community debate for several years.
