New grocery retailer W

By DEAN LAWSON

immera shoppers will have access to a greater choice of discount grocery items later this year when clearance company NQR opens an outlet in Horsham Plaza.

NQR’s Horsham store, to operate from an entrance opening onto the plaza’s Darlot Street car park, is scheduled to open at the end of September. NQR retail manager Ben McLeod confirmed that work on the shop would start in mid to late August. He added that the new store would provide employment for between 15 and 20 staff members,. “Depending on the work progress we’re hoping for an end-of-September opening,” he said. “We’re looking forward to opening in Horsham. We do quite well in regional areas. We’re just about to open a second shop in Ballarat, have one in Bendigo, another in Morwell and going into Sale at the end of the year. We’re also looking at Albury and Shepparton.” NQR, abbreviated from Not Quite Right, started with one store in West Melbourne more than 20 years ago. It offered a way for manufacturers strug-

gling to clear excess stock, discontinued lines and cancelled supermarket orders. It now has 20 stores across Victoria offering mainstream grocery brands in products included packed, canned, diary and frozen food, liquor and wine and cleaning, toiletry and pet products.

It claims on its website that in stocking an ‘ever-changing range of big-brand and premium-quality, essential and specialty items’, to offer customers ‘savings of up to 70 to 80 percent’ on their weekly shopping bills.

Discounted prices Mr McLeod said products went straight from pallets to the shelves and, at heavily discounted prices, moved quickly. He said the company offered staple everyday lines that were all quality guaranteed. “We have extremely fast-moving goods. Products change all the time and we might only have a product in stock at a certain price for a short period of time. It’s a case of what you see is what you get. But the potential savings are considerable. It’s the same big brands at a bargain price,” he said. “And there is a 100 percent money-back

“The majority of what we stock are the result of packaging over-runs. For example, a firm might produce 100 pallets of a cereal where 20 go to Coles, 20 to Woolworths and 20 to Aldi. We provide an outlet for what’s left over. “In the end for Horsham it means jobs and more money in the pockets to spend elsewhere.” NQR will employ at least three managers, four full-time staff and 12 casual employees. Horsham Plaza manager Allison Roberts said NQR and plaza representatives shored up negotiations for the space operated Kmart plant nursery, last Friday. “We are very excited. It is sensational news for the plaza because it again becomes a one-stop shopping destination. But it is also good for Horsham and the Wimmera,” she said. Mrs Roberts also confirmed that work had also started on a new Horsham Plaza Dental Practice between EB Games and Leading Edge Music. “We’ve had strong leasing interest in last couple of months,” she said.

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support. From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia? DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support? No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension? No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin? DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system. Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ................... People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW........................... People aged 0-64 South Australia .................................... Children aged 0-14 Tasmania ...................................Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT ............................................................. People aged 0-64 Barkly region of NT ................................ People aged 0-64 From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will continue to extend to more locations and age groups around Australia, including Queensland.

Farm makes award finals W

illaura’s Greenvale Farm is again in the running for a national award.

The farm, owned by Anthony and Amanda Kumnick, is a finalist for the ABC Delicious Produce Awards for its free-range pork for the third year in a row. The awards encourage, showcase and reward Australian producers, build awareness of culinary regions and recognise seasonal food ‘produced with integrity’. This year’s awards attracted a record 3110 entries. Greenvale Farm is up against 25 other Australian meat producers in the category ‘From the Paddock’. The Kumnicks are also being hailed for their new ‘Jumbuck’ brand. A state panel of chefs cooks a dish using the produce to judge the entries Judges then announce award winners on July 15. Mrs Kumnick said being a finalist three years in a row for the farm’s pork represented a proud moment for the couple. “Especially since we’re up against every possible meat product produced on the land. It’s a real indication that we have a good consistent, high-quality product and that we’re up there with the best in the country,” she said.

This year’s release She said the ‘Jumbuck’ was a value-added product the farm had released this year. “The meat is dry-aged for 28 days, producing a mature, deep depth of flavor,” she said. “To be recognised for this new product the first time we have entered it is also very exciting.” Last year the farm won a commendation medal for its ham. Greenvale Farm grows pork and Jumbuck without hormones or antibiotics and the animals are grass fed. “More and more people that we meet, mainly through farmers’ markets, really want to know where their food is coming from and that the environment is being considered as part of the process,” Mrs Kumnick said. “Our pork produces a far superior flavor due to the heritage breed, slower growing and free-range lifestyle. And, with the Jumbuck already getting the tick of approval from Victoria’s top chefs, we look forward to the consumer also embracing this delicacy.”

Health group to butt out Wimmera Health Care Group will become a smoke-free organisation from Monday. It has declared July 1, ‘Butt Out Day’. Chief executive Chris Scott said the decision meant all health-group sites would become smoke free for staff and visitors. “The decision to go smoke free will create a huge positive cultural change across the organisation,” Mr Scott said. “From July 1, staff and visitors will no longer be allowed to smoke on site at all, while patients will be assessed individually on their nicotine dependency and ability not to smoke while in hospital.”

friend at work presented me with a book on Aussie slangs and idioms last Christmas and given my rather slovenly attempts at a clean desk, it sat there for months.

Bob Wallace: 03 5358 4410 / bob@platypus.org.au Bindy Lees: 03 5585 1133 / bindy.rlf@gmail.com Katy Marriott: 0419 001 916 / km.hindmarshlandcare@bigpond.com

The pages attracted a fair bit of attention and emphasised the fact that sayings and idioms, regardless of their cultural background, are quite a fascinating read. My fascination in proverbs stems from my childhood. Most cultures have elders punctuating their conversations with proverbs and sayings that impart insight and wisdom to the younger generation. My mother was no exception. Like all children adept at pushing their parents’ buttons, I too was an expert at often incurring her wrath. My mum, with more bark than bite, automatically reverted to sayings when she had a go at me. Be it an admonishment or a pep talk or even simple re-counting of everyday happenings, her speeches were always peppered with sayings and anecdotal analogies. More engrossed by the sayings and less by the dressing-downs, I have to admit I hardly felt the sting of her expletives. They had little effect other than instilling in me an awe for words. Even today, I still remember fondly a few of her regular reprimands. For example, when I couldn’t find what she wanted me to fetch she would say: “If one cannot spot a cow in daylight, how can one find a buffalo at night?”

Equivalent Another, whenever I presented an excuse for my shortcomings: “One who cannot dance, complains the courtyard is uneven.” I found this one not only had an English equivalent such as ‘A poor tradesman always blames his tools’ but was also popular in other cultures such as Polish, Chinese and Filipino. Another one of my mother’s pearls, when harping on me becoming more self-reliant was: “Packed food and words of wisdom from others don’t last more than a few days.” Another witty and insightful saying I remember about contagious yawns – “A young woman can go unaccompanied but never a yawn.” Given my own experience, I asked friends from different cultures to recollect any sayings that they experienced as children. Coincidently enough, a Romanian friend had a similar upbringing to me but unlike my case, the proverbs had a profound and positive effect on shaping her budding character. In her own words ‘the growing pains of my young character were dulled repeatedly by the few pearls of distilled ancestral wisdom that were used like mantras

Sujatha Umakanthan

around my household.’ Of the few that she sent around, I was fascinated by: ‘The lie has short legs and the truth always catches up with her from behind’ and “The person with a bad mouth is like coal- if it doesn’t burn you, it blackens you.’ Simple words of wisdom, more likely to stick in one’s head than the callous and insensitive words that parents of this generation like me are more prone to cast upon their kids. On the other hand, the one saying that irked my Polish friend a lot when he was admonished as a kid was ‘Children and fish don’t talk’; however he cracked up every time he heard ‘The rooster was dreaming about Sunday and he lost his head on Saturday.” A Filipino saying I have grown fond of and wouldn’t mind reiterating it in front of my own kids is ‘While the blanket is short, learn to curl to fit in it’ especially the next time they start whining and refuse to make the best use of privileges they take for granted.

Practical wisdom I have hardly skimmed the surface of this vast ocean of common sayings but from the brief study I have done, most of them have found their way into the English language or vice versa. However, a few were new to me and quite astute such as the Chinese saying: ‘A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe’ or the Indonesian: ‘No matter how good a squirrel can jump, it will fall eventually.” It is indeed sad to realise that such gems of practical wisdom and wit, the grassroots of any culture, no longer hold the place they have in the past. Children of this generation are hardly exposed to such sayings and the charming insight behind these words. Considering the crass tweets or social media blunders of today, the modern world seems to have forgotten its cultural legacy and the subtle art of wrapping wisdom, wit and even ridicule in metaphorical sayings.

Budget released

Wednesday, June 26, 2013

The council heard three presentations and received seven submissions. Horsham mayor Cr David Grimble described the budget as balanced and accountable. “These are economically challenging times, and we have sought to keep rates as low as possible while maintaining services and allowing for much-needed capital works due to the aspirations of a growing community,” he said. “There is a fine balance in addressing environmental, infrastructure and social needs against the economic constraints within the community. I think this budget does this and I am pleased with it.” Cr Grimble said the council, in response to community consultation, had recognised the importance of a one-daya-week administrative service in Natimuk and a council presence in the Natimuk community.

Bridge traffic change Western Highway motorists travelling through Horsham will be limited to one of the two Wimmera River bridges while contractors complete works to widen a footway.

An east bridge closed early this week and all traffic limited to a west bridge as part of a start to stage two of a bridge-upgrading project. Melbourne-bound traffic will enter and exit the west bridge via temporary crossover points, which contractors have been constructing. The overall project is scheduled to finish by April next year. VicRoads expects traffic delays as part of the traffic switch and has encouraged motorists to plan their trips accordingly. Pedestrians will continue to have access across the Wimmera River. Workers will complete pile construction in-

volving large specialised machinery for footway widening on both bridges before barrier and concrete decking works begin. VicRoads advises that further traffic switches will occur as works progress. Works schedule: Stage one, June: Close one lane on each bridge to construct temporary median crossovers. Stage two, June: Traffic moved to west bridge with one lane each way. Pile-driving work for footway widening on east bridge to start.

Stage three, July: Traffic move to east bridge with one lane each way. Pile driving works on west bridge to start. Bridge barriers and concrete decking works on west bridge to follow. Stage four, December: Traffic moved to west bridge with one lane each way. Bridge barriers and concrete decking works on east bridge to start.

Plantouts promise great food, music

rganisers of an ambitious program to plant more than 100,000 trees across the region’s critical upper Wimmera catchment are enticing volunteers to events with a guarantee of high-quality food and live music.

“This year, we have more than 100,000 trees to be planted as part of our annual revegetation program. Getting this many trees planted wouldn’t be possible without the help of plantout volunteers,” he said. “Volunteers are always rewarded with delicious wintery meals, but this year we wanted to step things up and offer something special as a way of saying thank-you. “We’re pleased to have Deidre Baum from Laharum Grove preparing the meals using local produce for the Deep Lead plantout using

Hospital car park plan to continue Horsham health and municipal leaders will continue to improve car-parking facilities near Wimmera Base Hospital after creating extra spaces in streets near the hospital. Wimmera Health Care Group and Horsham Rural City Council have made the project a priority. Wimmera Health Care Group finance and corporate services director Mark Knights said parking improvements had already occurred and would continue to improve. “In partnership with council, Davey

Street off Baillie Street has been converted into a staff-parking area to free up spaces on the hospital site and we have also improved signage for disabled parking around the hospital,” Mr Knights said. “We have also added 12 car parks to O’Brien Lane in the past six months. “There are future plans to improve access to car parks with additional parking in O’Brien Lane as part of the sub-acute facility development. Initially 40 car spaces will be included in the project with scope for an additional 50 spaces to be constructed in the medium term.”

Stawell group calls for cast and crew

Project Platypus Landcare network will target a site at Halls Gap this weekend, Pomonal on July 6, Navarre on July 13 and 14, Deep Lead on July 20, Dadwelles Bridge on July 21, and July 27 and 28 at Elmhurst. Plantout organiser David Margetson said the success of large revegetation programs was only possible with help from volunteers so there had been a concerted effort to offer them ‘something special’.

“We will also run an open microphone night after the Halls Gap plantout, and a dance party after the Navarre plantout.”

Many parts of the upper catchment, considered prime grazing country and its timber a valuable energy source for a developing Melbourne, were subject to extensive clearing in the pioneering past. The legacy has led to a modern-day and ongoing fight against erosion, land degradation and waterway sedimentation.

Mr Margetson said the plantouts provided ‘a rewarding and entertaining day out set among the beautiful landscapes’. “All plantouts are fully catered and there are jobs for all age groups and abilities,” he said. The upper catchment, where the arterial Wimmera River system has

Floods inspire film project A Victorian film-maker has used a community information session in Stawell to explore interest in a collaborative film project about the impact and recovery from the 2010-11 floods. Matthew Cairns invited flood-affected residents, emergency services and those involved in the recovery to the session to find out more and become involved in the project.

Mr Cairns said he believed much could be learnt from the experiences of people going through life-changing events. Since 2006 he has been involved in projects documenting stories of living with mental illness, living in a cooperative community and living with life threatening illness.

CORPORATIONS SEE THE BENEFITS OF LEADERSHIP WIMMERA Sixteen Wimmera business leaders are improving their networks and learning new business skills through Leadership Wimmera in 2013. Powercor Australia continues its sponsorship of the Leadership Wimmera Business Leaders Program in 2013 supporting regional business growth. Three members of the Business Leaders Group program this year as generously sponsored by Powercor Australia. Jeff Allan, Wendy Mitchell and Narelle Hanrahan are all very happy to be participating in 2013, and appreciate the sponsorship awarded to them by Powercor. Jeff Allan, owner and manager of Chisholm Hi Fi & TV Centre, says that he signed up for the Leadership Wimmera program this year to improve his personal management skills and to increase his understanding of other businesses in the Wimmera. The opportunity to network with the rest of the Business Leaders Group participants also appealed to Jeff. Wendy Mitchell, Business Horsham Executive Administrator, heard about the Leadership Wimmera program from graduates of the program and decided that she, too, would like to participate. Wendy believes that she will learn leadership skills that will make her a better, more understanding person during this year. She hopes to be an even better role model for her children as she grows and learns from the Leadership Wimmera program. Narelle Hanrahan, Branch Administration Manager at Landmark, gives a number of reasons for joining the Business Leaders group in 2013. She wants to improve her communication skills, boost her own self esteem, as well as networking with other Wimmera business leaders to learn from them. ACE Radio, sponsor of the Leadership Wimmera program since it began in 2002, is this year sponsoring one of the participants of the Business Leaders Group. Jo Hornby, Manager of Clever Stitch in Dimboola, is confident that she will become a better business leader by joining the 2013 Leadership Wimmera program. She wants to improve her communication skills and hone her decision making ability. Already a positive person, Jo says that any increase in her level of confidence would be welcome. As a result of success at the Powercor Business Awards 2012, Danielle Olver has been awarded a sponsorship to participate in the Business Leaders Program 2013 by Wimmera Development Association. Danielle, business owner, anticipates that the Leadership Wimmera program will give her the skills and experience she needs to become a better and more confident public speaker. Danielle was very keen to sign up for the 2013 program after speaking with some friends who are graduates of the program as well as Robyn Lardner, Chair of Leadership Wimmera, who all encouraged her to apply.

More trees, celebrations for Yarrilinks weekend

he northern Wimmera Yarrilinks weekend will continue its evolution as one of the premier multi-cultural activities in the region when volunteers gather for tree-planting activities next month.

Wednesday, June 26, 2013

Shanaka Fernando and chefs from restaurant chain Lentil as Anything as well as volunteers from Adult Multicultural Education Services and Sudanese Australian Integrated Learning programs in Melbourne will join Yarriambiack Shire locals for the event. The weekend will also involve children’s activities, a farm tour at Lubeck and a Lentil as Anything feast in Warracknabeal. One of the highlights will be a Saturday night vegetarian feast that Lentil as Anything chefs will prepare for volunteers and host families using Wimmera produce. Live entertainment from Leo Tellefson and Sandra Loats will add to

The annual event, a Yarriambiack Shire tradition for the past 15 years, will involve 150 volunteers putting 6000 trees into the ground at Lah Recreation Reserve and Warracknabeal district farmland on August 3 and 4. The diverse make-up of volunteers has led weekend activities to expand beyond planting to include cultural feasts and celebrations.

Rural Northwest Health officials are planning for an official opening of the organisation’s new Beulah campus.

“Yarrilinks has provided a fantastic boost to the local environment, economy and community spirit for many years.

“This year, local groups around Warracknabeal will benefit by catering for the 600-plus meals that volunteers consume during the busy weekend,” Ms Talbot said.

Health service chief executive Catherine Morley said the campus would have an official opening when it best suited the community. “We are fully operational now but there is still a bit of work that needs doing, particularly in the surrounding garden,” Ms Morley said. Ms Morley said the new building proved ‘wonderful’ advantages for both the community and health service. “It’s sustainable and it’s more economical to operate because we have recycled water and solar power,” she said. “It also has excellent climate control and it is a secured building so it will be much better for the community.”

Peter shines for brigade history

By PETER MILLER

very now and then in life, someone comes up with a clever proposition where everyone wins.

Warracknabeal nurse Bronwyn McIntyre has done exactly that. Ms McIntyre works as a rehabilitative therapist in Rural Northwest Health’s award-winning Wattle unit at the Warracknabeal campus. The unit encourages memory-stimulating activities for residents living with dementia. Her grandfather Peter O’Callaghan, whom she knows only as ‘Pa’, is a resident in Wattle and often under her care. The retired plumber enjoys keeping active and performing useful tasks. Ms McIntyre also contributes to her

community as a member of Warracknabeal Fire Brigade. During a recent meeting, she noticed the poor condition of the brigade’s trophies, some of which dated back almost a century.

O’Callaghan had done an unbelievable job.

Ms McIntyre said the brigade boasted a proud collection of trophies and shields.

“The brigade members have discussed taking more trophies there if they are keen to do them,” he said.

“I was trying to read them and they looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in 20 years or more,” she said.

“We’ve got a fair few and there are some very old ones amongst them.”

“It occurred to me that Pa would enjoy the challenge of cleaning the trophies up. So I brought them to work and he has been sitting down each day and polishing them up. “He has done a fantastic job getting them clean and he has really enjoyed doing it as well.” Warracknabeal Fire Brigade acting captain Ken Peters said Mr

To acknowledge this, The Weekly Advertiser is providing a snapshot of the awards’ nine individual finalists. This week we feature young volunteer category nominee Danielle Grant of Wycheproof. Since moving back to her home town Danielle has em-

“It was a great initiative and we’ve been very impressed with the results,” Mr Peters said.

Ms McIntyre said her grandfather had become quite engaged in his polishing role and had a great sense of achievement. “It’s an activity that has become very important to him,” she said. “When he finishes a trophy, he becomes very proud of his work. “It’s been good for him and great for my club so it’s been a win-win situation.”

Project ends to floodproof bridges, creek

Wednesday, June 26, 2013

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

xtensive engineering work has led to Stoney Creek in Halls Gap and more than 40 bridges across Northern Grampians Shire being capable of withstanding major flooding in the future.

Hip Pocket Workwear’s

Council contractors have been busy during the last 18 months repairing and updating flood-damaged infrastructure with state and federal government grant money. Work in Halls Gap has been extensive and includes a new $105,000 footbridge over Stoney Creek north of School Road, linking Halls Gap Caravan Park to Grampians Flora Botanic Gardens. It also includes a $60,000 replacement retaining wall around the edges of a car park and recreation area on School Road and $235,000 in rock beaching and revegetation work on the banks of Stoney Creek downstream of Stoney Creek Stores.

Stone beaching Across the shire, work has included the installation of stone beaching underneath and around bridge foundations to prevent floodwater from eroding footings or stream banks. Another 140 bridges and major culverts have been the subject of $1.5-million worth of smaller-scale work. The council has been able to complete the worth through a Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements program. Northern Grampians Shire’s Cr Paul Russell said the Halls Gap had been hit

hard by January rain in 2011 when about 270 millimetres fell in the Grampians over a 24-hour period.

beaching wall aimed to prevent this happening again. A former footbridge was also extensively damaged as debris was swept down the creek.

“This caused more than 190 landslides across the park and damaged infrastructure and property in Halls Gap including Stoney Creek. About three metres of water rushed through Stoney Creek causing significant bank and stream erosion and damage to the Stoney Creek stores,” he said.

Structural damage Engineers determined that the bridge had to be replaced due to the extent of structural damage. Cr Russell said the new footbridge was built to withstand future flooding and had no intermediate supports to make sure the waterway remained clear. A gate on the bridge will prevent kangaroos from accessing the botanic gardens.

“The government funding has gone a long way to repair the damage done and prevent future damage, which is great news for nearby residents and businesses, and the council.”

unday dawned dewy and clear, to the immense relief of Nhill Market organisers.

As traders put the finishing touches on their displays, Don Costa began to sing, and the first guests for the day began to roll through the gate. Visitors remarked on the quality of the produce. Market regulars could be seen visiting their favourite stands for a top-up of loved meats, preserves, sauces and vegetables. Newcomer Michelle Menzel with her ‘Love and Light’ candles attracted great attention, and Kaniva’s ‘Do Me Naturally’ sold out of several product lines. Market

However, people gathered to drink their homemade soup and listen to the live music from Don Costa and a lovely selection of music from young cellist Charlotte Kube. They also watched a performance from Darshiva Dancer. The entertainers built the atmosphere and made the day special for everyone.

The Rotary Club of Nhill is now looking forward to the next market on August 18, with many traders already registered after last Sunday’s success.

• Who will run the business and make the big decisions in your absence? • Will the new owner/manager appreciate the real value of the business and be able to learn from your experiences?

ost business owners know they need a written Business Succession Plan but in reality very few have taken the time to develop one.

If you are one of the ‘very few’, whether you decide to sell your business to retire, to get out of the business to try something else, or be forced out due to health reasons, it’s important to plan for that day – whenever it may come. By having a plan in place, you ensure future business decisions reflect your vision and desires, rather than someone else’s. Your plan should answer questions such as:

they have some unique requirements, including buy/sell agreements and life insurance contracts.

• Will your employees be retained by the business and otherwise be looked after?

On the other hand, if you are planning to retire or take up a new venture, it will be most beneficial to everyone concerned by considering the following steps:

• Will your key clients or suppliers want to do business on the same terms with the new owner/ manager?

1. prepare a senior employee to take over the running of the business, or employ someone new to take on this role;

• Will your family be looked after, especially in the event of your death?

2. ensure your business records clearly show how your business is doing and the methods you have employed to achieve this;

Business succession planning is a process that should enable you to address all of the above issues ... and more. The steps to a successful business transition

3. review your employees’ contracts to ensure they are protected when a new owner takes over;

The nature of the transition will help you determine the preparatory steps. Of course, the timing of some events such as death and disability cannot be planned for, and consequently

4. keep your clients and suppliers informed of your plans; introduce them to the new owner and implement a transition phase to make sure it all goes smoothly.

Too often many business owners wait until the last minute when important windows have closed, such as the potential un-insurability of a principal or key employee. Once your business has survived the start-up stage you should consider planning for death and disability outcomes. Otherwise, it may be suitable to consider this transition several years prior to your exit allowing plenty of time to bring a senior employee up to speed or for your clients and suppliers to build trust in a new business partner? By planning your exit well in advance you can maximise the value of your business and leave it with a sense of accomplishment. • Robert Goudie is an authorised representative of Meritum Financial Group Pty Ltd AFSL 245569.

2. Anatomically, on what part of the human body do you find pinnas?

Meritum Financial Group

3. In 1945 Wimmera soldiers were involved in the Battle of Tarakan, a small island four kilometres off the coast of what large Indonesian island? 4. True or false? Anecdotal evidence suggests professional rabbit trappers in the 1880s almost succeeded in establishing populations of predatory mongooses in Australia. 5. Collectors often scour the WimmeraMallee for old Waratahs or, if they get even luckier, Bennett and Barkells. Both are Australian companies that no longer exist. They were responsible for manufacturing what?

6. The Wimmera is home to the oldest rural reservoir in Victoria. What is its name? 7. What is wrong with this statement? ‘Lake Bellfield near Halls Gap is ideal for all forms of recreational boating.’ 8. What highway cutting through the Wimmera-Mallee is named after a historical Portland family? 9. What part of the human body is named after a Greek legend of the Trojan war. Why is it named after him? 10. What is the common name of Canis lupus familiarus?

Answers: 1. B, two hours. The Commonwealth recommendations are based on research suggesting more than two hours of screen time a day is associated with poor fitness, smoking, raised cholesterol and obesity in adulthood. 2. On your head. They are the outside cartilaginous part of your ears, also called the auricle. 3. Borneo. 4. False. Research suggests the trappers, inadvertently or on purpose to protect their livelihoods, stopped it from happening. Authorities released at least 1000 mongooses in Victoria, NSW and SA as a rabbit-control trial. In the West Indies, a similar trial led to the animals all but wiping out most of the islands other small animals. 5. Motorcycles. Waratahs were manufactured in Sydney from before 1911 to the late 1940s. Bennet and Barkell or B and B motorcycles were also manufactured in Sydney from about 1910 to at least 1917. 6. Lake Wartook in the Grampians. It was constructed in 1887. 7. Boating at Lake Bellfield is limited to sailing, rowing and electric-powered boats. Internal combustion engines are not permitted on the lake. 8. The Henty Highway. 9. The Achilles tendon at rear of the leg above the heel. According to the Achilleid, written in 1AD, Achilles was invulnerable except for his heel where his mother Thetis had held him as a baby as she dipped him into the magical river Styx. He died from an arrow wound to his heel. 10. Dog.

Tigers, Blues set for ripper clash MALLEE FOOTBALL LEAGUE

By MICK SHANNON

ea Lake-Nandaly Tigers have moved to the top of the Mallee Football League ladder after demolishing Jeparit-Rainbow by 149 points.

And Cliff Ryan continued his great form in front of goals with another nine-goal performance. Beulah also had to work hard in its 32-point victory over WoomelangLascelles while Ouyen United proved to be too skillful for Hopetoun. This week will feature three exciting games with none bigger than the top-of-the-table clash between the Tigers and Beulah at the Blues’ home ground.

down at the start of the third quarter to win by six points. Now, the Tigers will be seeking revenge. Sea Lake-Nandaly Tigers possess a potent forward line with strongmarking Ryan kicking 22 goals in his last three matches. Luke Spasic is expected to return from injury for Beulah and will get the job on Ryan, in what will be a strong and exciting tussle. Silky Simon Weekly has been a welcome addition to the Tigers in recent weeks, making his presence felt across the half forward line. Weekly will be made to work hard though, when he comes up against Beulah key backman Kim Hallam, who is having a fantastic season.

The last time these sides met, fans watched a fantastic game that showed off the class and skill of both sides.

Beulah has its own stars up forward with centre half forward Dennis Redden giving the Blues a fantastic avenue to goal. David King is also expected to return from injury, after eight weeks on the sidelines.

On that occasion it was the Blues who fought back from eight goals

The Blues’ power forwards will have tough opposition though with

Stephen Lyons in great form across the half backline while John Guthrie has been solid at full back. Peter Lehmann played his first game for the Blues last round, kicking five goals, and if he plays again then Beulah might stretch the Tigers defence. Through the midfield both teams have skill and grunt that should provide the game with an even battle at the clearances.

Strong opposition Col Durie, Darcy Ryan and Tom Summerhayes lead the way for the Tigers but they will meet strong opposition as the Blues work Micah Buchanan, Tom Hallam, Tyler Lehmann and Shaun Monohan through the middle. The talented players from both sides will look to use their speed around the ground to supply forwards with quick, direct footy. Sea Lake-Nandaly Tigers will be out to prove they are the top team in the competition, but Beulah uncov-

ered new aggression last week and will continue that on to take victory by 10 points. Jeparit-Rainbow will welcome Ouyen United to Rainbow in what is a must-win game for the visiting Demons. The Lakers fell back down to earth last week at the hands of the Tigers and will struggle against the fleetfooted Demons side. Ouyen United has worked its way into the top four and will look for a big victory to cement its position. Damian Cupido returned to the goals last round with a bag of seven, while Brad Summerhayes and Ben Mole have been playing good football through the middle. The Lakers will need Heath Clugston to have a big game in the centre, while youngster Nathan Cocks has shown good form throughout the season. A home-ground advantage won’t be enough for Jeparit-Rainbow to overcome the Demons, as Ouyen United

O’Sullivans’ Faith rewarded Once the starter released the 16 middledistance gallopers, Give Me Faith was restrained toward the rear of the field and ridden for luck throughout the event.

he stellar season of Stawell training partnership Terry and Karina O’Sullivan is going from strength to strength. The O’Sullivans have enjoyed multiple victories in recent weeks and the flow of winners doesn’t appear to be stopping. The leading Wimmera combination ventured down the Western Highway to Ballarat with talented but equally frustrating galloper Give Me Faith for a 1600-metre slog in Antarctic-like conditions. Warrnambool jockey and former O’Sullivan apprentice Jason Lyon was entrusted with the riding duties. Ballarat punters didn’t rate the fouryear-old a chance despite his last start win, with ballsy bookies offering 20-1 on their boards just before starting time.

As the tempo of the race lifted at the 400-metre mark the gelding was still well back but gradually made ground on the leading horses. Give Me Faith revelled in the track conditions taking the lead close to the post recording a length victory. The son of Swettenham Stud resident stallion Keep The Faith boosted his stake earnings to almost $50,000 after this latest outing. Future wins for this galloper on rain-affected ground would not surprise.

Dodson tastes victory The unofficial mayor of Telopea Downs and leading trainer Darryl Dodson is also enjoying a good season like the O’Sullivans. Dodson ventured to the picturesque Penola racecourse last Thursday for the club’s annual winter race day. The stable had its improving mare Angel Dove engaged in a 1400-metre maiden handicap. Horsham hoop Holly McKechnie was in charge of riding duties for the $8000 event.

SA punters warmed to the four-yearold because her two previous Limestone Coast performances were very encouraging. The only price offered was $3 at the tote window because no bookies attended the lowly meeting.

Once the starting stalls flew open McKechnie opted to settle right on the pace ensuring Angel Dove was given every chance to negotiate the tight turning circuit. As the 12 gallopers swung for home the daughter of SA veteran stallion Blevic was brutal toward her rivals, accounting for them with ease in the straight, bolting away for an impressive five-length win. Albeit beating a bunch of swamp donkeys, Angel Dove looks to have a nice future, with more wins on the horizon.

maintains its fourth position with a 30-point victory. Walpeup-Underbool plays host to Woomelang-Lascelles at Underbool and the home-town Roos are starting to hit their straps at the right part of the season. But the Cats have had the wood over the Roos in recent matches.

Big lift needed Woomelang-Lascelles will need a big lift from Trent Donnan in the middle, as the gun on-baller has been quiet in recent weeks. David Piasente and Luke Nathan will take care of the centre clearances though and give first use to key forward Wade Champion. The quick-moving Cats will put up anther determined performance, but the class of the Roos will prove to be too much as they grab the points with a five-goal win. Hopetoun has the bye.

SPORT report

Form teams to tangle at Stawell might well provide the decisive advantage in the contest and allow the Bombers to jump into the five.

HORSHAM DISTRICT FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Upset needed

By GRANT KUCHEL

Rupanyup faces the unenviable task of trying to upset rampaging Laharum to stay in the five.

he two in-forms sides clash at the east end of Horsham District Football League this week when Swifts host top-ofthe-table Kalkee.

Even in wet and heavy conditions last week Laharum key forwards Jason Przibilla and Shannon Argall had an impact. Paul Trotter and his fellow backmen will need to work overtime and hope for midfield pressure to stop the Laharum duo repeating last week’s effort.

After a slow start to the year Swifts have now won seven of their last eight games while Kalkee hasn’t dropped points since round one.

The ruck duel between in-form Nic Johnston and Rhys Bennett will be intriguing. If Johnston can give the Panthers the edge in the clearances and midfielders Nathan Sasche and Glenn Wyatt pump it forward to Scott Nicholson the Panthers will be in the contest.

Swifts will be looking to their multi-pronged forward line to continue putting the score on the board. Last week the Baggies had 10 different goal kickers and it will take plenty of work from the Kees’ backline led by Josh Mibus and Ben Lawson to keep the likes of Zach Salmi, Jeremy Joiner, Lachlan Hamilton and Sean Mantell under control.

The Panthers face the issue of finding the leg speed to combat the Demons’ runners such as Daniel Easson, Robbie Miller, Andrew Combe and Tom Inverarity.

Kalkee will look to win the game through the middle of the ground. Jake Hobbs will probably give Kalkee first use of the ball and if he can put in on the chest of Paul Christian, Steve Schultz and Tim Wade then Kalkee forwards will have enough opportunities to post a winning score.

Edenhope-Apsley will break a two-game losing streak by beating Pimpinio at home. The Saints hit the wall in the last fortnight and they will bounce back by taking their frustration out on the young Tigers outfit.

The two sides tend to have close contests at North Park in Stawell and this should be no exception. By the end of Saturday we will have an indication of how much the Baggies have improved and whether they are genuine premiership challengers.

Pimpinio will have no answer to strong midfielders Brent Christie and Dave McLeish, especially if Matt Tober can give them first use of the ball.

Natimuk will reinvigorate its finals chances and by going on a percentage-building exercise and outpointing Taylors Lake.

TURN ME LEWIS: Taylors Lake veteran Aaron Lewis tries to break a tackle from Noradjuha-Quantong forward Jarred Combe. The Bombers kept their finals hopes alive with a 148-win over the Lakers, with Combe kicking five goals. Picture: WILLAMY IMAGES

The Rams will notch win number six and probably be just outside the top five on percentage.

Natimuk youngster Kyle O’Connor looks to be a find for the Rams and with Evo Hennessy, Jono Lovell and Hayden Fleay providing plenty of support the Natimuk side will record its sixth win for the season.

The Lakers will be unable to contain a slick Natimuk side led by the likes of assistant coach Tim Friend, Ash Pekin and Jamie Elliott. Tim Kelm should ensure the Lakers get first use of the ball and if Jason Weir and Craig Britten can take it away the Rams’ defence led by Callum Cameron will be under immediate pressure. As we say every week, the Lakers lack depth and they will look for more from the likes of Josh Fischer, Sonny Secombe and Nathan Koenig.

On the line Harrow-Balmoral’s season is on the line this week when the Roos visit Noradjuha-Quantong. A loss for the Roos will see them sit six points outside the top five and with their backs against the wall. This game might be a shootout with both sides boasting quality forward lines. Shane Oakley,

fresh from 11 goals last week, and Sam Weddell lead Noradjuha-Quantong while HarrowBalmoral will look to veteran Brent Penny and Tim Cogger to apply scoreboard pressure. The game will take shape in the middle where Harrow-Balmoral coach Brent Forsyth and tough nut David Vickery will lock horns with Brent McIntyre and Matt Ward. If Roos ruckman Josh Vickery can control the air the Roos will fancy their chances of repeating their first-round result. Jason Kerr and Jayden Stacey will provide plenty of speed for the Bombers and will create headaches in the Roos camp. This speed

Pimpinio can run the ball well and its greatest advantage is speed and the likes of the Darcy and Todd O’Connor must get the ball in quickly to Dylan Baker and Sam Turmine. Chris Oliver is unlikely to have two belowaverage games in a row and with Oscar McDonald, if available, will make life hard for the Tiger forwards.

Demons in sight as Lions chase another scalp MININERA DISTRICT FOOTBALL LEAGUE By JONATHAN BOX

Great Western will play LismoreDerrinallum in Mininera and District Football League after claiming a massive scalp in Penshurst last week. Great Western led at every change last outing and although Penshurst tried hard to come back with a sevengoal final quarter, the Lions were able to hold them off for victory.

Damien Scott and Lachlan Molloy led the charge in front of goals, kicking three a piece while Ben Newson had a best-on-ground performance and proved along with the rest of the team that a hope for a finals berth is far from over. Lismore-Derrinallum is coming off a victory from its last encounter, proving too good for WoorndooMortlake. Lismore-Derrinallum dominated throughout the game and never looked like losing. Ryan Elliot was best for the Demons as well as contributing four goals. Rohan Symes

and Tim Fitzgerald also contributed to the score with four each. The win left Lismore-Derrinallum sitting seventh and only two wins out of a chance at finals. This weekend both the Lions and Demons will be looking for a big victory to keep in touch with the top sides. Wickliffe-Lake Bolac will be looking to finish off a clean sweep of the league when it plays Penshurst this week. Wickliffe-Lake Bolac has shown tremendous dominance of the league

so far and after a 73-point victory over fifth-placed SMW Rovers they show no signs of slowing. Josh Keys had a big game up forward kicking four goals and providing plenty of headaches for the Bulldogs’ backline with his height and pace. Andrew Lord and Leigh Perkins were among the better players for the Magpies in a team that is well drilled and has one goal in mind. Penshurst will hope to continue its last-quarter form from last week and get a jump on Wickliffe-Lake Bolac

in a bid to redeem itself. Brandon Ross kicked three goals and has continuously found himself in the best and among the goal kickers for the Bombers. Other good players for Penshurst last week were Andrew Behncke, Jay Everall and Justin Eales.

Red-hot Dees primed for Eagles WIMMERA FOOTBALL LEAGUE

By DEAN LAWSON

ardon the use of an oldfashioned footy cliché, but Warrack Eagles will face the ultimate of acid tests in Wimmera Football League on Saturday.

There seems no better description of the afternoon confronting the Eagles when they line up at home at Brim against a Horsham side dripping with venom. History shows that a new-look Eagles team welcomed a new-look Horsham outfit to the 2013 season by beating the Demons by eight points. Now, with Horsham back at its ruthless best at the halfway point of the season, that April day now seems a long time ago. Horsham’s form of late has been edged with cream and that spells danger for the Yarriambiack crew. There is no doubt that leaders from both camps would have been pondering the psychological advantages of securing a win this weekend. Horsham will be out to prove that the season opener was little more than an aberration and a teething issue as coaches Jordan Burke and Brad Hartigan came to grips with the playing group. However, the Tim Inkster-led Eagles will know that they can beat the Demons. Importantly, they will want to claim back-to-back Horsham scalps to gain momentum and to legitimately put themselves in the running for the finals double chance. What it all means is that Wimmera footy fans are in for an intriguing contest on the expanses of Anzac Park. Horsham’s crushing of a depleted Horsham RSL Diggers line-up last week provided more than a hint that the Demons were starting another

profound march towards September. The Demons are fit, fast and ferocious at the footy with winners across every line and while the Eagles were more than 10 goals better than Stawell last week, they might as well be a sand castle trying to fight against a rising tide. This time around, Horsham has its important X-factor player in Garrett Liston in the mix. The strong utility, on song in the air or in front-and-centre on the deck, stood out in a team of stand-outs last week.

PEKIN AT THE RIGHT TIME: In-form Horsham midfielder Nick Pekin outmarks Horsham RSL Diggers utility Kye Chapple on Saturday. Below right, veteran Diggers defender Luke Chamberlain played his last game for the club on Saturday.

Value for money And what about Dylan Parish who kicked eight goals, hauled in big marks and generally sparkled with the footy? When he has his tail up is there any player in the league worth more to pay at the gate to see in action? Nick Pekin stokes the fire in the Horsham mid-field engine room, John Wood has evolved into one of the best midfielders going around and then there is the likes of the relatively unsung Shaun Gilbert who has a habit of getting on his own. The in-form Eagles can’t afford to be intimidated and will call on the steadying influence of Ben Spicer to provide counter-offensives and needs create opportunities for Dale Hinkley to show his class. Hard-working Jason Hinkley is also an important part of the group and Phill Huebner and Brock Orval featured last week. The big gun in the Eagles mix is big Peter Weir whose deft hands in the air and raking kick straightens the Eagles up when pushing into attack.

chance position. The Saints launched their season with a three-goal win over the Burras earlier in the year and Saturday’s game will also be intense. Minyip-Murtoa sneaked across the line against a determined Nhill last week and critically it was interleague key-position player Clinton Midgley and rising young ruckman Kieran Delahunty who stepped up to the plate. But the Burras gave the Tigers a head start, something they can illafford to do against the Saints. Horsham Saints need to use the

WFL round 10 Warrack Eagles v Horsham at Brim

Intense encounter Another significant game will unfold between Minyip-Murtoa and Horsham Saints at Minyip. The Saints are sitting third and defending the critical third spot on the ladder while the fifth-placed Burras would also be coveting the double-

Dimboola v Stawell at Dimboola Horsham RSL Diggers v Nhill at Horsham City Oval Minyip-Murtoa v Horsham Saints at Minyip Ararat bye

occasion to start working their way back into the early-season form that gave them such a solid start. Dealing with player unavailability has been a juggle for the Saints’ hierarchy and a bye last week was probably welcome.

Great signs for the Warriors is the continuing good form of Thomas Eckel and the consistent efforts of Cam Kimber and relative newcomer Sam Harbinson again showed his liking for kicking goals. The Roos will be far too good and continue firming up top position on the ladder.

Travelling Tigers Horsham RSL Diggers and Nhill will meet at Horsham City Oval with Nhill a hot fancy to collect its fourth win of the season. There was little between the teams when they met early in the season but the Diggers have failed to push on and remain winless at the wrong end of the ladder. Nhill is gradually earning the title as the best side outside the top five and the Diggers can again expect to find the going tough against the likes of clever Mat Jones, big Will Kelly, Simon Brearley, Josh Jarrod and co. The Diggers will lose their most consistent player in centre half back Luke Chamberlain who is in Adelaide, compounding the absence of injured Ben Devlin and spasmodic availability of travelling recruits.

Key-position forward Heath Watson has threatened of late for the Saints and Saturday might be his day to turn it on.

Unforgiving Roos Dimboola appears to hold all the aces for David and Goliath-style contest against Stawell at Dimboola. The Roos were unforgiving despite the determined efforts of Ararat last week, the balanced work of Lachie Exell in the front of the sticks paying dividends and Hamish Exell continuing a rich vein of form. Stawell came off second best to the Eagles but its caretaking coaching duo of Shane Field and Jamie Solyom would have taken heart from a highly competitive first half.

WFL chief: We need report penalty standards By DEAN LAWSON

Wimmera Football League chief commissioner John Smith believes the outcome of an appeal hearing in Ballarat has highlighted a need for a standardised football penalty system embracing all levels of the game. Mr Smith said there was a need for football administrators to take stock of the penalty system, ‘particularly variants in the range of penalties’. “There is a need to have dialogue with AFL

P: (03) 5382 2366

Country Victoria to look at the penalty system from the AFL level down,” he said. “There is a need for some guidance and standardisation around the future dealings with tribunal matters.” Mr Smith made his comments after an AFL Victoria Country appeals board in Ballarat found Nhill coach Darren Weavell guilty of having struck a volunteer umpire but slashed an initial seven-and-a-half-year Wimmera League ban to one and a half years. The incident during a senior match between Nhill and Stawell earlier this year has high-

lighted a need for more independent umpires to officiate in Wimmera League’s premier-level games. While the game featured independent field officials, the clubs supplied goal umpires.

“The other thing is that we need to ensure is that our volunteer umpires are adequately briefed and understand their role in becoming officials.

As a result, Wimmera League has again stepped up an appeal for more umpires.

“There needs to perhaps formalise arrangements involving adequate orientation or education.

Mr Smith said the Wimmera League commission had also asked Western Vic Football manager Stephen McQueen to review security measures involving volunteer umpires and to report back to the league’s next meeting.

While unable to coach Nhill during games, Weavell can continue to lead mid-week training sessions. Former coach Simon Brearley will step in as match-day coach.

Alcohol and Road Safety Alcohol is a major factor in road deaths in Victoria. Each year about one quarter of drivers killed in road crashes had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .05 or greater. At a BAC of .05 your risk of being involved in a road crash is about double compared with a BAC of zero. Road Safety starts with you.

VW’s race for best fuel economy ver wondered if you drive more frugally than a professional rally driver? You probably don’t, Volkswagen’s latest fuel economy challenge suggests.

Volkswagen uses the event to promote its range of vehicles using BlueMotion technologies that help to save fuel. On this occasion we would be driving an Up light car, Passat diesel wagon, Golf turbo-petrol hatch and diesel Caddy light commercial van.

Benchmarks

TRUE BLUE: Volkswagen chose an Up, Golf, a Passat and Caddy for its Think Blue Eco Challenge in Sydney.

His advice? Drive in the highest gear possible, minimise the use of heating, air-conditioning and any other accessory else that saps the battery, and avoid unnecessary weight.

It may not sound like much of a challenge, but convincing a bunch of motoring writers to drive cautiously is a bigger ask than you might think. After years of driving to save fuel under rally conditions, Mr Ordynski was willing to impart his knowledge.

Volkswagen’s latest arrival, the Golf Mk7, was a last chance to redeem ourselves. We drove the 103TSI turbo petrol Highline with VW’s 1.4-litre TSI engine and mated to a sevenspeed dual-clutch transmission. We didn’t have to do much to get the most out of the Golf and achieved a figure of 5.7L/100km. While it was higher than Volkswagen’s official 5.2L/100km combined fuel use figure, and Ed’s 5.0L/100km result.

Boost

Not to worry, surely we can make up some ground in the Caddy?

Although the Golf gave us a slight boost, nothing could prevent us from ending up on the bottom of the leader-board, beaten by four colleagues.

The Caddy Maxi TDI250 is powered by a 1.6-litre diesel making 75kW and 250Nm, and features the brake energy recuperation and idlestop systems. Unlike the Passat, it uses a six-speed manual gearbox.

While the Think Blue challenge showcased Volkswagen’s fuel-saving technologies, it did not paint a realistic picture of what everyday drivers could achieve in normal conditions.

The Passat proved itself to be a quiet, smooth and capable family tourer, but despite all the BlueMotion technology, we failed to match Mr Ordynski’s 5.1 litres per 100 kilometres. Likewise, our 6.0L/100km figure could not match the Passat’s official 5.4L/100km average.

The aim of VW’s game is to drive the vehicles on a designated loop. Rather than testing performance limits, the winner is the driver that records the lowest overall fuel use.

Power wars over T

he power wars are all but over, with HSV managing director Phil Harding conceding it is starting to become too expensive to chase after even more engine performance. The go-fast arm of Holden used to pride itself on incremental upgrades to power over the life of a vehicle range, but that has now fallen to the rising cost of extracting even small amounts of extra poke at the rear wheels. “I don’t need to keep outdoing myself each year, and since the E-Series upgrade was launched the progress of power increases has been slower than it has in the previous 20 years,” Mr Harding told GoAuto the launch of the most powerful range of HSV cars yet. His words mean this range of vehicles could be the last of the big-horsepower cars developed in Australia, after its Gen-F series added a supercharged 6.2-litre ‘LSA’ engine to its line-up that produces 430kW of power and a stumppulling 740Nm of torque. It sits alongside the normally

POLE POSITION: Volvo will become the fifth car maker represented on the Australian V8 Supercars starting grid from season 2014.

BIG BANG THEORY: HSV’s Pursuit of even more performance is becoming a costly exercise.

aspirated 6.2-litre V8 engine that borrows from the LSA engine – but not the supercharger – to produce 340kW and 570Nm, well up on the default 325kW and 550Nm. Mr Harding said it was starting to cost him the same amount of money to tweak an engine for 5kW as it would for 50kW, making incremental increases unviable. “You’re going through the same hurdles – certification, homologation, development, testing – and it’s just becoming hugely expensive,” Mr Harding said.

you’ll notice we’ve stopped doing that.” Mr Harding said the 340kW engine tune for the 6.2-litre LS3 engine was an unintended bonus of the supercharged LSA engine’s development. There are no indications that HSV arch-rival Ford Performance Vehicles is planning to outgun the 430kW supercharged V8 in the GTS flagship with a reborn Falcon GTHO. The current FPV GT uses a 335kW/570Nm supercharged 5.0-litre ‘Miami’ V8.

“So the little bits and pieces that you used to do every year,

Volvo will line up in next year’s V8 Supercars competition, fielding a pair of S60-based racecars wearing Garry Rogers Motorsport colours.

The Swedish car-maker’s Australian arm revealed it would fund a pair of S60based V8 racecars from next year, in collaboration with Sweden-based racing partner Polestar and Melbourne-based Garry Rogers Motorsport, which will end its long collaboration with Holden. The team will be called Volvo Polestar Racing, and will hit the track a year after a factory-backed Nissan team and a privateer MercedesBenz joined the series, moving it beyond traditional rivals

Holden and Ford.

The V8 Supercar Championship’s new Car of the Future architecture was designed to accommodate a wider spread of brands than the traditional local car-makers. The announcement comes in conjunction with the local media launch of the company’s limited-edition S60 Polestar, a performance sedan rival to the likes of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. The company hopes the launch of a factory-backed racing team will, along with its toe-in-the-water exercise with the S60 Polestar road car, change perceptions of its entire range, most importantly in the BMW 3 Series-rivalling S60 range.

Volvo previously said Australia was to be a ‘test bed’ for the performance-honed S60 Polestar ahead of a potentially wider global roll-out, as the company seeks to put old images of the brand as safe but perhaps unexciting to bed. But while the racecar will be a rear-drive, V8-powered machine, the S60 road range is a front- or all-wheel-drive car powered by either four- or six-cylinder petrol and diesel powerplants. Volvo is no stranger to Australian motorsport, having won to Australian Touring Car Championship in 1986, and the Bathurst 1000 in 1998 with its S40-based touring car.

Electric cars battle for relevance T

he fledgling electric vehicle industry is continuing to fight for relevance in Australia, despite the arrival of the Holden Volt plug-in hybrid and recent price cuts to the Nissan Leaf EV.

MiEVs since launch in 2010, and the company is now concentrating its EV efforts on the plug-in Outlander SUV due in the first quarter of next year. Recently reduced to $39,990 driveaway, the Nissan Leaf, meanwhile, remains the only mass-produced pure EV in the marketplace, and has gathered similar sales figures to Volt this year with 56 new registrations, including 17 in May which look to be a direct result of the price cut.

The pioneering Mitsubishi i-MiEV – the first mass-produced EV on the Australian market – has run its course, and Renault’s Fluence ZE, which was meant to shake up the marketplace with a low starting price, is no longer a prospect after partner Better Place ran into problems.

Vast improvement

There are ongoing ‘roadblocks’ in areas such as vehicle purchase price, practical limitations, recharging costs and supporting infrastructure. Mainstream and luxury car brands remain wary about introducing EVs to Australia, but conventional hybrids are soldiering on and plug-in variants are beginning to make an impression on product planning schedules, with versions of Mitsubishi’s Outlander, Porsche’s Panamera and BMW’s new i3 among those confirmed for release.

Driving range The longer driving range inherent in plug-in hybrids has meant they are now generally considered by carmakers as a better alternative than pure EVs in the Australian context, and a vast array of models is expected in the next three years, arriving in accordance with development programs and the change in market acceptance. There are, however, no expectations of a sudden boom in plug-in hybrid sales in Australia, while new EVs such as the cute Renault Zoe remain off the agenda while car-makers con-

This is a vast improvement on last year, when 77 Leaf sales were recorded from a national EV market of 206 units. Of the latter, just 47 were private sales.

HIGH AND MIGHTY: Holden is refusing to chase sales with its Volt plug-in hybrid by sticking with a fully equipped model rather than offering a lower-priced stripper.

tinue to survey the landscape.

charging opportunities.

In releasing its latest report, the Victorian government’s EV trial lists ongoing issues involved in owning and operating an electric vehicle in Australia – but provides plenty of reason to be optimistic about its future.

There is also the expectation that it will take until at least 2020 for the EV operating cost advantage to outweigh the purchase price penalty.

It describes, for example, how EV prices have dropped by more than 30 percent since 2010 – thanks to Nissan’s aggressive actions with Leaf – that average running costs for households participating in the trial are between $7 and $10 a week, and how electricity smart meters are allowing EV charging to be better managed. But there are plenty of problems identified in the trial, such as concerns about range, the costs involved in connecting vehicles to the grid – around $2000 to $3000, complex charging arrangements in rental properties, and the lack of workplace

Priced from $59,990 plus on-road costs, Holden’s Volt has recorded 93 sales since its launch last year, with 80 of those coming in November and December with the company’s own registrations, dealer test vehicles and orders from ‘early adopters’. The figures this year better reflect the ongoing demand for the Volt in the marketplace, with sales dropping back to 14 units in January, nine in February and four in March, with April pushing back up to 11 before last month’s 15 new registrations was its best thus far in 2013. Holden has not specified sales targets and will not be drawn on admitting if the Volt will be profitable, pre-

ferring instead to highlight its status as a ‘technological tour de force’. Holden’s executive director of sales and marketing Philip Brook also told GoAuto at the VF Commodore launch that the company was still ruling out a cut-price model sans luxury equipment to generate more sales. Reports out of the US, however, indicate that pricing and incentives are becoming more aggressive as car-makers attempt to improve sales, with GM offering rebates of $5000 on 2012 Chevy Volts or $4000 on 2013 models. Mitsubishi Motors Australia preregistered its remaining i-MiEV supplies in December last year, the company has not recorded any sales of the $48,800 EV since. GoAuto understands, most of the cars have been sold off cheaply at dealer lots. All up, Mitsubishi sold 250 i-

To the end of May, 112 EV sales have been recorded across the board this year, with 36 of these classified as a private sale. It almost pales into insignificance when you consider that well over 100,000 cars in the ‘small’ category that the the Volt and Leaf belong have been sold over the same period. But there is momentum in the global car industry that makes us dwell on the word ‘almost’. Despite the ongoing roadblocks and high-profile problems of key players, there is too much being invested in electric cars worldwide to keep them at 0.02 percent of the Australian newvehicle market, as they are now. That percentage will improve, even when one percent looks like a long way off. Terry Martin © GoAutoMedia, 2013

Mitsubishi Pajero gets safety boost with five-star rating A minor update to Mitsubishi’s Pajero has seen the SUV gain a five-star ANCAP safety rating after initially only receiving a four-star rating when it was released in late 2006.

The maximum five-star rating brings it into line with its main competitor, the Toyota LandCruiser 200, while the recently-released Nissan Patrol is yet to be tested by ANCAP. The 16-year old Y61 series diesel Patrol that sells alongside the new petrol model has a three-star rating. The lift in safety rating to five stars came

after Mitsubishi fitted the 2013 model with passenger seat-belt reminders and improved steering column energy absorbing characteristics over the 2012 version.

All Pajeros are fitted with front, passenger, side and curtain airbags, the Japanese car-maker’s Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution body design, reversing camera and, from July, Isofix child restraints. As a part of the 2013 update, the Pajero is now a diesel-only proposition with Mitsubishi ditching the sole remaining petrol variant – the 3.8-litre Exceed.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited corporate communications manager Caitlin Beale said the petrol model was discontinued due to low volume, with that particular variant shifting just 41 units out of the Pajero’s 6297 overall sales last year. The manual mid-spec VRX has also been dropped in favour of a five-speed automatic which brings the price up from $60,990 to $63,990, while prices remain static for the rest of the Pajero range.
