Protein blueprint A

BY DEAN LAWSON

regional development leader has described confirmation of a multi-million-dollar proteinpowder plant in Horsham as the ‘ideal’ blueprint for other regional value-adding opportunities. Wimmera Development Association executive director Ralph Kenyon said news that Australian Plant Proteins would establish a processing centre in Horsham demonstrated the region’s ability to ‘think outside the square’. “We’re really excited to see this pro-

ject come to fruition, considering the work that has been undertaken over a period of years by many people with WDA,” he said. “It shows we not only have the capacity of identifying value-adding opportunities in agriculture in the region, but the will to help make them happen.” Mr Kenyon made the comments after Australian Plant Proteins, a subsidiary of Melbourne agribusiness investment company EAT Group, announced it would start manufacturing

pulse-based protein powder from a Horsham factory later this year. The project involves extracting highvalue protein powder from pulses such as faba beans, lentils and chickpeas. Critically, second-grade pulses, perhaps damaged by frost, would retain their value as the source of powder based on protein content. A $20-million first stage of development at Horsham Industrial Estate will produce about 2500 tonnes of protein powder a year and lead to 20 jobs. Plans are that a $15-million second

phase, with a further 15 jobs, would double production to 5000 tonnes a year by the first quarter of 2021. Mr Kenyon, who is retiring from his position this week, said the development reinforced the role Wimmera Development Association could play in supporting community ideas and projects. He said it encapsulated the value of Wimmera Development Association in being able to use networks and contacts to work with a range of people from farmers through to scientists and

food technologists. “The project originated from a group called the Grains Cluster, which was put together by WDA to look at potential of future projects and opportunities,” he said. “People have been thinking outside the square to come up with solutions to dealing with, for example, secondgrade crops that can dramatically lose value depending on the season. “It’s about identifying intrinsic value of the agricultural products we produce.” Continued page 3

Rail shuttle push part of delegation H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham mayor Mark Radford will appeal for the provision of a passenger rail-shuttle service between Horsham and Ararat in a delegation to State Government ministers.

Cr Radford said he would join Western Rail representatives in lobbying the government for funding for a large-scale and long-term Western Rail Project business case. He added he would also use the meeting with state ministers Jacinta Allen and Melissa Horne to establish a regular Horsham-Ararat shuttle service.

“The key message we’ll be taking as a group is for the government to fund a business case for the Western Rail Project, which involves everything from upgrading tracks and stations to high-velocity trains as well as improved passenger services throughout western Victoria,” he said. “We will also get a chance to talk about specific requests. “Horsham’s will be that we have a rail-shuttle service between Horsham and Ararat where we use existing tracks and stations. “We believe we could have that right now. In understanding that the community has not had a passenger

train for some time, it would be a great thing. “We need to have a big-picture view of rail in western Victoria and I would also love to see a passenger train back in the region tomorrow where Horsham, Murtoa and Stawell stations are reactivated. “If we could have something like that in place we could let the community vote with its feet over 12 months. I am sure Wimmera people will support it. “If we could get two or three services a day linking with the Ararat service it would be amazing. “All we’d need to do is fit a sprint-

er on the track, which is certainly possible. Our station requires some tender-loving care, but perhaps that’s an area where the council could work with the government in partnership.” Cr Radford said Transport Infrastructure Minister Allen and Public Transport Minister Horne had invited Western Rail representatives to the meeting in Melbourne. He said Northern Grampians mayor Kevin Erwin, Southern Grampians mayor Mary-Ann Brown and Southern Grampians chief executive Michael Tudball would form the delegation. Mr Tudball would speak on behalf of the group, which includes sever-

al western Victorian councils. “Each mayor will also have a chance to speak for their municipalities and I will be talking about an opportunity for a sprinter service. We will be having a phone hook-up to discuss our plans at the end of this week,” Cr Radford said. “At this stage we’re unsure when we will have our meeting with the ministers, but believe it will be early next month.” Cr Radford has been researching the history of passenger rail services in the region and earlier this month was part of a re-enactment of the arrival of Horsham’s first train in 1879.

‘Thinking outside the square’ From page 1 “This will form an ideal blueprint for consideration of other value-adding opportunities that might emerge in the future,” Mr Kenyon said. The project has taken about a decade to develop from idea to reality and Mr Kenyon said the association had initially been fortunate in convincing the State Government of the time about the value of the idea. “It meant the association could formulate a business case and then take that to investors. Being able to take a risk on behalf of potential investors without the investors being exposed to initial risk can be crucial,” he said. “It’s an excellent case study of what’s possible. The bonus is that

apart from being able to generate 20 new jobs straight away, there will be other projects that might get started because of this project’s success.” Mr Kenyon added that a spin-off from protein-powder production was a likely royalty payment back to the association as part of a handover of intellectual property. “This will allow WDA to build a pool of funds to explore other opportunities,” he said. “Establishing a plant in Horsham will benefit the whole Wimmera and southern Mallee. It will produce 2500 tonnes of product a year that will require, for each tonne, three to five tonnes of raw pulse material. “It will pretty much soak up pulses

currently produced but importantly provides an alternative market to sell the crop. The company is already tapping into the existing supply chain. “This has not only established a wonderful new industry in the region, it’s also pushed the door of opportunity further open. It would have opened a lot of eyes and an understanding that this idea is now a reality.” Horsham mayor Mark Radford described the development as ‘fantastic’. “It has a lot of ticks about it. It’s more than just a good idea, it’s actually happening and it all sounds pretty good,” he said. “It’s fantastic that it’s coming to our region – it’s going to create opportunities on and off the land.”

A proposal to establish a regional museum in Horsham has gained further traction after municipal leaders agreed to continue pursuing the idea. Horsham Rural City Council voted to receive stage one of a Horsham Regional Museum Feasibility Study on Monday night. The council also voted to include the report in a Wimmera River and Central Activity District Vision and Concept Plan to ‘explore opportunities for progressing the study’. A Horsham Regional Museum Working Group, established in 2016 and made up of Horsham Historical Society, Horsham RSL, council and community representatives, managed the study. Development services director Angela Murphy said in a report to the council that ‘initial cost-benefit analysis was encouraging and sufficient to demonstrate the potential of a new Horsham Regional Museum’. Cr Pam Clarke said in response to Ms Murphy’s report that the council needed to ‘dream big’. She particularly reflected on report details that Horsham remained ‘one of the few major regional cities in Victoria without a dedicated centre for display of heritage collections’ and that community organisations and individuals in the district were in charge of significant heritage collections. “I would like this to happen. I know we’re at the very early stages of what we can do or what we would like to do, but I think we need to dream big,” she said. “It is really important that we keep our history, that we can actually celebrate it and people can come and look at the history of our community and this region. “It is so important as a culture and

a society that we have the capacity to look back. We need to tell our story.” Cr Josh Koenig said Horsham had a lot of history to offer and it was something that would be great to see get up. “An opportunity to bring more people into Horsham to learn about our history would be ideal. I’ve lived here my whole life and I’m still learning things. It’s exciting to see where this could go,” he said. Crs David Grimble and John Robinson and mayor Mark Radford also spoke in support of the concept. Cr Radford said it was important not to underestimate the importance of the project. “Our history is a story we sometimes struggle to tell and I believe this project is a first step. We might not have a ‘gold’ history story like Bendigo or Ballarat, but in the Wimmera the story is based on hard work and determination and is a story worth telling,” he said. “Ms Murphy has identified some risks in her report, but the biggest risk I see is losing the people and their stories. Historical collections need to be displayed for all to see to tell the stories of young men and women who gave so much.” Crs Grimble and Robinson stressed a need for the council to ensure stage one of the museum plans be available for public consumption and comment to gain a clear understanding of what people wanted. Cr Grimble said he feared the significance of the project might be overshadowed if simply explored as part of the Wimmera River and Central Activity District Vision and Concept Plan. He successfully asked the council to place details on public exhibition and seek public comment. – Dean Lawson

Stawell Gift status secured BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

tawell Gift organisers have welcomed a review of operations as part of a deal struck with state and local governments to return the footracing carnival’s prizemoney to last year’s levels.

Earlier this month Stawell Athletic Club announced it would decrease the prizemoney for the winners of its men’s and women’s gifts from $40,000 – where it has been for both races since 2015 – to $17,000. The race has been without a major naming rights sponsor since 2016 and organisers admitted the lack of sponsorship money had left them with little choice but to offer less prize money across the board. Northern Grampians Shire Council and the State Government stepped in to negotiate a financial assistance package to ensure the gift retained its status as Australia’s richest footrace. On Friday the club announced it had reached an agreement with council and the State Government. Stawell Athletic Club committee member Robert Irvine said the club had agreed to review its operations after this year’s gift as a condition of accepting the money. “The review will give us the structure to go forward,” he said. “We don’t know who will be conducting the review yet, but it will be an agreed-upon consultant. “They will be able to help us through the process. “I’m not sure what areas might need to change, because I’d say we’ve been working particularly effectively for a long time. “We’re going to go into it with an open mind and the consultant will give us some advice and we’ll make decisions from there.” Northern Grampians Shire Council mayor Kevin Erwin said the coun-

cil would work with gift organisers during the review process. “The council is happy to work with Stawell Athletic Club and the State Government to ensure the Stawell Gift’s long-term viability post-event,” he said. “Until we sit down and go through everything I wouldn’t say there are any particular things we know need to change. “Our main concern is making sure the prestige of the event remains the same and that it does have a future.” Cr Erwin said the council hoped the restored prizemoney helped entice runners and patrons back to the carnival, which Stawell Athletic Club estimated generates $4-million annually in the shire. “I imagine there has been some excitement about the prizemoney going back up and hopefully it encourages a lot of athletes to come here at Easter time,” he said.

Positive outlook

Mr Irvine said the response from the athletics community following the restoration of the gift’s prizemoney had been overwhelmingly positive. “Our starters have been starting races at the weekend at Geelong and they got really great feedback,” he said. “There has been good feedback from the Victorian Athletic League, so everybody is on the same page.” Mr Irvine said the club was thrilled to have completed negotiations with state and local governments and was now focused on making this year’s gift a success. “Everyone wants to make sure the Stawell Gift continues to be the great event it always has been,” he said. “We’re absolutely still on the lookout for a major sponsor, but we have to put everything to one side and actually get on with running the thing now. “We’re certain we’ll be able to run a top-class event.”

Nod for glasshouse vegetable project The Wimmera’s foray into intensive horticultural production will start in earnest in March with construction starting on a $90-million hydroponic vegetable farm near Stawell. Agribusiness Nectar Farms has gained a Northern Grampians Shire planning permit for the project and expects to plant crops by the end of the year. Based at Bulgana Green Power Hub at Joel Joel, Nectar Farms’ expansive glasshouse will be able to access energy generated by wind turbines for less than half the standard price of a retail energy contract.

Northern Grampians mayor Kevin Irwin said the development had been a long process with some changes along the way. “But after the permit was submitted we delivered the approval within the eight-week timeframe we committed to,” he said. “The project is a game changer for Northern Grampians Shire. “Now we’re looking for families to move to the area and we’ve been lobbying hard for assistance to establish new housing to accommodate that.” News of the council granting a planning permit comes off the back of the

first of 56 wind turbines installed at the site and more being preassembled. By growing their crops in protected environments such as glasshouses, using leading-edge technology and exploiting all-year-round production windows, Nectar Farms plans to create quality produce and year-round supply capabilities. The controlled cropping environments are designed to enhance automated crop production and lead to less labour, use less water energy and require less land. They also have major environmental benefits to create a sustainable solution for long-term supply.

Reaping benefits from homegrown projects C

onfirmation of a project likely to add an extra string to the Wimmera’s agricultural bow is an example of how a simple idea can blossom into something worthwhile.

Horsham will soon be the Australian home of a protein-powder manufacturing plant and the region will be exporting yet another fresh and highly valuable product to the world. Australian Plant Proteins, a subsidiary of Melbourne agribusiness investment company EAT Group, is pumping millions of dollars into the project and expects production to start later this year. For a company to seize such a concept, generated from brainstorming in our part of the world, is something of which we as a region should be proud. The nuts and bolts of the idea is pulse crops, regardless of how they look after being ravaged by climatic conditions such as frost, often retain their protein value.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

But how the product has looked has represented a critical difference in determining price and value. Being able to recognise the issue for a start, adapting a powder idea as a value-adding opportunity for farmers, understanding the potential for market demand and then finding an investor willing to seize the concept all represented tantalising challenges for Wimmera Development Association in developing a business case. Of course much of the process has involved private enterprise moulding the business model to suit its operations and expectations. But foundations of the con-

cept remain homegrown and overall the project is a massive tick for having a pro-active approach to development. Closely following, reporting and commenting on this project since its inception many years ago has provided fascinating insight into the process. Yes, it seemed obvious. Protein is a magical element that is often a measure between what is average and high-quality raw plant food. And what a win in cropping security it would be for producers if a new high-value market line emerged from downgraded lentils. But attracting the estimated $30-million in investment needed to establish supply lines and create a manufacturing plant in the Wimmera always seemed a big ask. But here we are. It pays to think big. Why stop there? The project is proof that we as a region play a large role in controlling our own destiny and look forward to the next idea that we hatch and grow.

Diamond celebration Gordon and Lorna Rentsch of Horsham will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary tomorrow. The couple will mark the occasion by going out to dinner with family this weekend. Mr Rentsch, 82, and Mrs Rentsch, 84, agreed that one of the keys to their longterm partnership was to be good friends, talk any issues through and always back each other. “We’ve been very lucky health wise and everything has been terrific,” Mr Rentsch said. “We talk everything out. If we have an argument we get on with it quickly.” The couple has two children, Bruce and Jill, and a string of grand and great grandchildren. “We didn’t want a lot of fuss but our kids have taken over and organised a dinner to celebrate with us,” Mrs Rentsch said. Mr Rentsch was a plumber for 32 years and employed with Public Works for 28, retiring at 75. Mrs Rentsch worked at stock and station agency Dalgety. The couple married at Horsham’s Wesley Methodist Church, now Wesley Performing Arts Centre, in 1959 and revealed that out of a friend group of five couples they were the fourth to celebrate their 60th or diamond anniversary.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Digging

their own hole

SIR, – There were two stories in The Weekly Advertiser of February 6 that deserve a response. First, the editor is quite right to ask why is VicRoads, aka Major Roads Project Authority, ‘dragging the chain’? Good question because there has been no public consultation by way of its Environmental Consultation Group since May 2018. Clearly there has been planning work still proceeding, but with zero public oversight – even by a tokenistic group such as their ECG. Also Northern Grampians mayor Kevin Erwin asks the same question as a member of the Western Highway Action Committee. Well, that committee was briefed more than three years ago on what a minimally destructive duplicated freeway could look like, to achieve a safer road while avoiding the majority of VicRoads planned land clearing. There is no record of the Western Highway Action Committee ever acting on that advice, in the same way as every level of government has also failed to consult and represent the hundreds of people who want a better outcome than was seen between Beaufort and Buangor. Meanwhile, VicRoads has been misrepresenting these people, producing a video simulation of an alternative route in late 2016, numerous FOI requests were delayed, its planning permit expired prior to construction of works on the project but they went ahead anyway, and numerous other instances of desperately bending rules to suit themselves – all the while costing taxpayer dollars and wasting valuable time. The next stage of the project could have been completed by now, with millions of dollars saved, but no, the only hole they’re digging is one for themselves. Russell Pearse Ararat

Ararat corridor redevelopment plan A

rock-climbing wall, multipurpose ball-sport court, safety lighting, walking paths and new netball courts are among $2.26-million in improvements underway in an Ararat Skate Park and Alexandra Oval corridor. The four separate developments are happening simultaneously under the umbrella of one project. The project includes: • New netball courts and an upgrade of Alexandra Oval’s Olver Stand to include female amenities; • Building of several new events spaces around Alexandra Oval; • Installation of safety lighting throughout the gardens and skate park;

• Walking paths, a multipurpose court and a rock-climbing wall at the Ararat Skate Park. Work will start with the netball courts, with designs being finalised and construction scheduled to start in coming months. Work on the other projects will begin at various stages and will are scheduled for completion by June 2020. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison said the council was contributing $781,000 towards the overall development with State Government grants making up the balance. He said the council had already received a $750,000 grant from Sport

and Recreation Victoria, $500,000 from Regional Development Victoria, and $231,000 from the Department of Justice. “The benefits of this project are going to be enormous for the whole region,” he said. “This area attracts people from right

across our shire with football and netball players, sportspeople, families, young people and visitors using the space regularly. “The precinct also attracts sporting clubs from outside our region and tourists from all over Australia, so it’s really important for us to improve facilities there.” The new netball courts and associated upgrades to the Olver Stand to include female and family friendly change-rooms and toilets aim to increase women’s participation in sport. Dr Harrison said the new lighting in the gardens and at the skate park would reduce criminal activity and increase community safety, and

EXCITING TIME: Wimmera Machinery Field Days manager Murray Wilson, with the 2019 Field Days program, is counting down to the big event. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Special Field Days souvenir The 2019 Wimmera Machinery Field Days countdown has started, with the launch of this year’s official Field Days program and the publication of a 44-page Aglife feature in The Weekly Advertiser. In partnership with The Weekly Advertiser, field days organisers are distributing thousands of copies of the program across the region, as The Weekly Advertiser reaches more than 22,000 homes and businesses. The combination means people have an opportunity to get early and in-depth insight into this year’s special event. Wimmera Machinery Field Days manager Murray Wilson said the official program had been an important Field Days tradition since 1963. “It contains all the exhibitor listings as well as relevant details on all the products available on site,” he said. “With more than 80 full-colour pages it includes plenty of information about all the special fea-

tures and main attractions at the Field Days for this year.” Mr Wilson said there were many long-term Field Days patrons who had proudly kept every edition of the program since inception. “It acts as a take-home souvenir of this important agricultural event,” he said. The Weekly Advertiser editor Dean Lawson said today’s special Field Days edition of the monthly Aglife feature also explored the event’s various attractions and presentations. “Our paper’s Aglife feature is attracting a loyal following and we’ve made a concerted effort to provide our readers with insight into what makes these few days in March such a culturally significant occasion,” he said. The 57th annual Wimmera Machinery Field Days will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week at Wimmera Events Centre, Longerenong.

the new events spaces at Alexandra Oval would attract more festivals and events. “The new multipurpose court at the skate park can be used for basketball, tennis and other sports, and the rock-climbing wall offers another new activity for our community,” he said. A workshop consultation with key stakeholders will be later this month, with project elements still negotiable during a draft design stage. Dr Harrison said these items included the design of the safety lighting, surfaces on the multipurpose and netball courts, design of the rock-climbing wall and the layout of Olver Stand amenities.

Feminist photography exhibition from Horsham

STATEMENT: Guest curator Olivia Poloni, left, and Horsham Regional Art Gallery curator Michelle Mountain install a photo by Anne Ferran as part of the In Her Words exhibition. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

The role women have played in the culture of photographic art will be the subject of a touring exhibition in Horsham, starting on Saturday. Horsham Regional Art Gallery is presenting exhibition ‘In Her Words’, which focuses on women behind and in front of the camera. The exhibition recognises the significance of feminist photography held by the Horsham gallery. Guest curator Olivia Poloni accepted an invitation to draw works from the collection alongside key figures in contemporary Australian photographic practice. The exhibition promotion says people will ‘hear from women who are bold in the telling of their flaws, uncertainties and strengths; aiming to get to the core of the female experience, rights and challenges. Through these images photographers make bold statements about the societies in which they live and work’. Key themes of the exhibition include migration, ‘queer’ culture, Aboriginal life, youth and child-

new service in Stawell will give patients access to radiation therapy treatment used in the fight against skin cancer. The State Government has provided $250,000 for radiotherapy equipment for Stawell Austin Radiation Oncology Service, SAROS. Austin Health radiation oncologist Dr Louise Gorman said a partnership between Austin Health and Stawell Regional Health would provide the service. “We are very excited to be able to offer radiotherapy services to the community in this part of Victoria,” she said. “Radiotherapy is a key treatment option for people with skin cancers and this new service will give public health patients in the Grampians region access to a comprehensive skin-cancer service for the first time. “One of the great advantages of this radiation therapy is that in most cases the patient comes in for their appointment and 20 to 30 minutes later they are heading back to work. “This type of treatment can cure skin cancer and in some circumstances remove the need for patients to have surgery.” Stawell Regional Health Clinical Services acting director Kate Pride said the new service would be available to public patients at no cost.

“It is an important step in making the latest cancer treatments accessible to rural communities,” she said. “The SAROS service complements a range of cancer services available at Stawell Regional Health and we are pleased to work with Austin Health to provide the service.” Dr Gorman said Austin Health provided cancer services through the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne and Ballarat Austin Radiation Oncology Centre. “Patients in the Grampians region are currently less likely to be treated using radiation therapy than patients anywhere else in Victoria. This new service will mean the community no longer has to travel to Ballarat or Melbourne to receive the same care,” she said. Dr Gorman encouraged anyone diagnosed with skin cancer to discuss with their doctor if radiotherapy treatment was suitable. “The new equipment will be delivered to Stawell Regional Health next month with the new service available to patients from May this year,” Ms Pryde said. People seeking more information about the new radiotherapy service at Stawell Hospital can call Ballarat Austin Radiation Oncology Centre on 5320 8600.

‘Huge potential’ at Ararat site A

rarat Rural City Council has endorsed a plan to establish a new development zone and start work on stage one, committing $300,000 to improving access to the site.

The Ararat East Development Zone includes the former Aradale site, Melbourne Polytechnic operations, an industrial and mixed-use site and areas of land next to Green Hill Lake. Chief executive Dr Tim Harrison said the site had huge potential and provided an opportunity for the council to partner with Regional Development Victoria to attract education, tourism, residential and industrial development.

Dr Harrison said the first stage of the Ararat East Development Zone project would be in two parts, with the council working with Regional Development Victoria to obtain funding. “Firstly, we want to improve access to the site, so the Western Highway at the Heath Street intersection will be widened to provide a slip lane for Ararat-bound traffic,” he said. “We also want to improve safety at the train level crossing on Heath Street to cope with higher traffic volumes. “These initial works would cost around $750,000, with funding being sought from Regional Development Victoria.” Ararat mayor Peter Beales said the

Peter Beales project was a fantastic opportunity for the council to take a leadership role in developing an interesting multi-use

zone capable of attracting significant economic and social benefits to the community. “We are really excited about the site’s potential and particularly happy to give Aradale some much-needed attention,” he said. “We would love to see Aradale, its buildings and surrounding land developed and used again and we’re sure the community would love to see that happen too.” Dr Harrison said the whole area was underused and ‘opening it up’ would provide a clear impetus to attract further investment and reinvent the site. “Within the area, Melbourne Polytechnic has established a 30-hectare

vineyard, 250-tonne winery, four-hectare lavender farm and extensive training facilities,” he said. “The former Aradale property includes 63 buildings, of which a number are protected by a heritage overlay. “Other opportunities lie in establishing the McLellan Street linkage to Grano Street via Alfred Street, currently zoned industrial, and residential development opportunities exist in the area near Green Hill Lake, where there is land zoned residential. “There’s a real need for high-value residential development to support Ararat Rural City’s growth, and the council would really like to see that land used in this way.”

Riders support taskforce event Wimmera Drug Action Taskforce received a donation of $1135 from organisers of the annual Arapiles Cycling Event earlier this month. The event, also known as ACE Ride, was staged in October in support of the taskforce, with riders electing to cycle either a 128-kilometre circuit from Horsham to Mount Arapiles or a 53-kilometre circuit from Natimuk to Mount Arapiles. Rider fees and donations from the event support the taskforce. Taskforce co-ordinator Sally Pymer said money raised from the ride would support a Knowledge Is Power drug education program for grade six students in the Wimmera. “The four-session program covers what a drug is, why people take drugs, how to look after yourself and others along with information on nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and medicines,” she said. Mrs Pymer said the taskforce would pair with the Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly to present a forum on tackling illegal drugs at Horsham RSL today. It will also host an information night focusing on the supply of alcohol to young people, in March. Mrs Pymer said the taskforce was calling for community groups to support it during the 201920 financial year so it could continue to employ a co-ordinator. People interested in supporting the taskforce can call chairman Tim Shaw on 0427 810 122.

Cultural diversity to be celebrated Hindmarsh Shire Council and West Wimmera Health Service are working together to celebrate Cultural Diversity Week in 2019. The theme of this year’s event, from March 16 to 24 is ‘Proud to Belong – Your Story, Your Generation’. Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said the week was a way of celebrating multiculturalism and diversity. “We extend an invitation to members of the community to share their story on multicultural heritage and identity,” he said. “This program will be delivered in a similar method to the highly successful and well received ‘Faces of Hindmarsh’ project. “Cultural Diversity Week is a fantastic way to celebrate the everyday diversity of Victorians and reflect on what gives us all a sense of belonging in our multicultural community.” Cr Ismay said Hindmarsh Shire was home to at least 29 different nationalities. “Almost half of Victorians were either born overseas or have at least one parent who was born overseas,” he said. People seeking more information about or are keen to take part in the event can email community development officer Michelle Farinha at community@hindmarsh.vic.gov.au or refugee community health nurse Casey Hiscock at casey. hiscock@wwhs.net.au before Sunday.

Changes to air show R

egional aircraft enthusiasts will now pencil in November 2 for a 2019 Nhill Airshow after a change in dates.

Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre board made the move in response to a request from Paul Bennett Airshows, the group managing the event. The show was originally scheduled for October 26. Nhill centre board member John Deckert said the move would open the door for a bigger event than originally planned. “It is unfortunate that many people have already booked their accommodation. However, we are assured the air show will be an even bigger and more spectacular event, so please save the date,” he said The air show will celebrate the centenary

of aviation at Nhill only five days short of the day the first plane landed at Nhill racecourse on November 7, 1919. Mr Deckert said visitors would be treated to non-stop displays of aerobatics, skydiving and vintage aircraft manoeuvres. “A range of recreational and wartime aircraft will be flying in, and a DC3 will bring passengers from Melbourne for an overnight stay,” he said. “Vintage cars, military vehicles, a community market, fashion parade and food stalls, along with flight simulators, photographic displays, joy flights and children’s activities will all add to the festival atmosphere planned for this centenary celebration.” In November 1919 a much smaller crowd of excited onlookers was treated to a much smaller air show when a de Havilland 6

aircraft, with pilot Robert W. McKenzie at the controls, landed in a paddock on the outskirts of town. “This momentous event marked the beginning of a remarkable 100 years of aviation activity in Nhill,” Mr Deckert said. “During the past century the aerodrome has been used as an RAAF base, a passenger terminal for ANA, and a stopover point for many well-known aviators including Bert Hinkler, Charles Kingsford-Smith, Nancy Bird and Amy Johnson.” Nhill aerodrome continues to draw recreational pilots from across the country, offering pilot training, firebombing and air-ambulance services. The aerodrome is also the home of the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre and aero club.

New nurses bolster health service A wealth of new nursing staff members has bolstered clinical numbers at Rural Northwest Health and helped ensure the organisation continues to meet high industry standards. A dozen new nurses have chosen the health service for the completion of their graduate year, prompting education and research manager Dr Kaye Knight to declare the intake as the highest in the organisation’s recent history. “We have welcomed both registered nurses and enrolled nurses, which is also a major boost to the qualification levels at RNH,” she said. “We are very pleased to have these numbers in our nursing fraternity and to have highly trained people is even better.” Dr Knight said most of the new nurses who had signed on had completed clinical placement with RNH last year. “They enjoyed their time at RNH so much that they chose us for their grad year,” she said. “That means they clearly enjoy the working environment at RNH and the rural lifestyle around Warracknabeal and Hopetoun is obviously appealing

to them as well.” Dr Knight said credit for the bolstered numbers should also go to a clinical team who had supported these nurses at the bedside. “Particularly our clinical support nurse Breanna Stonehouse who is doing a great job mentoring these nurses,” she said. “She has been marvellous with making these nurses feel comfortable and helping them to continuously improve their skills. “It works both ways because our new grads have added capacity to our workforce and in return they will be provided with valuable support to learn more and become better nurses.” Dr Knight said RNH’s education and training programs were the envy of other health services. “It’s also important to highlight RNH management has always encouraged team members to better themselves and to develop their careers to their maximum potential,” she said. “That always benefits both RNH and our employees.” RNH has 14 team members studying either the Diploma of Nursing or Bachelor of Nursing in 2019.

The Australian wool market has recorded substantial increases in Week 34. Chinese Customs have suspended all greasy imports from South Africa, due to an outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease earlier in the year. As a result, the South African Wool Industry postponed the wool auction scheduled for 20th of February. This postponement led to an overall reduction of global auction wool supply. Melbourne sold in isolation on the first day of selling, the limited offering came under intense buyer pressure from the outset. Mainly pushed by Chinese interests, prices quickly increased by 80 to 90 cents. When sales resumed on the second day in Sydney and Fremantle, similar price rises were experienced. The price rises pushed the MPGs for 21.0 in all three centres to all-time highs. The North and South MPGs also posted new records for 20.0 micron. Worth noting however, although the market recorded strong positive movement for the week, there was a distinct softening experienced on the final day of selling. This was reflected in the EMI losing 9 cents on Thursday. The falling market was more evident in the Western region. Selling last, the Western indicator fell by 41 cents. The AWEX Eastern market indicator (EMI) added 59 cents for the series, closing the week at 2,027 cents. The EMI has now risen for eight consecutive sales, adding a total of 178 for this period. The crossbred sector continues to track sharply upward. Prices generally improved by 20 to 50 cents. These increases have pushed the MPGs for 28.0 and 30.0 micron further into record territory. Due to the spike in prices, many sellers holding wool in brokers store, have decided to offer next week, pushing the national offering well beyond original estimates. There are now 49,738 bales on offer, over 8,500 bales more than expected.

Making interest-free deals work for you

hey have been around for decades, but interest-free deals can still be confusing and costly when managed incorrectly. Excitable advertising can make these offers almost too good to refuse, particularly with longer terms applying to higher levels of finance. For example, to get five years’ interest-free on purchases from some retailers, the minimum spend is $1000. This simple condition could turn a necessary purchase of say, a new fridge, into a multiple purchase prompted by the seemingly innocent question, ‘do you need to upgrade your TV?’. Five years up your sleeve to pay off a larger purchase might sound too

tempting to pass up, but never forget the age-tested maxim ‘buyer beware’. In the case of interest-free it’s not always as simple as it sounds. So, how do these deals make money? Not to be confused with the newer ‘buy now, pay later’ products where no interest is ever charged, interest-free deals simply defer the interest to the end of the promotional period and then it appears with guns blazing. Interest will be charged on any outstanding amount at ridiculously high levels, often close to 30 percent per annum. For instance, if you had a loan of $3000, how would you feel about paying an extra $1000 interest a year? That’s not smart buying.

FINANCE

focus

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

Although some do, the credit provider is not obligated to warn that the interest-free period is ending. It’s up to you to calculate the monthly repayments to clear the debt during the interest-free period and pay that amount – or more if you can.

It’s not just interest

It might seem attractive, but having a longer period to pay off a purchase will cost you more, particularly when

it’s for a relatively inexpensive item, for example, a $1000 TV. The monthly account-keeping fee will add up considerably over a longer period. Five years – 60 months – at $5.95 is an extra $357 in fees. Reducing the period of the loan will save you money on these fees. There are also late payment fees if you miss the monthly due date. As part of the deal, you will usually be provided with a store card or another credit card for this purchase. The card credit limit might be much higher than your initial purchase as a way to encourage you to spend more, so if you do not need the extra credit, ask for the card limit to match the full purchase price when completing the application.

The seller might explain that you might not be able to increase it later, but take control and stick to your decision. The card could also have an annual fee, so if you repay the total balance within the first 12 months and do not plan to use it for another purchase, make a note to cancel it before the provider charges another annual fee.

Buying smart

If you intend to buy using an interestfree offer, check your budget and make sure you can repay the entire purchase price, plus fees, before the expiry of the interest-free period. Managed well, interest will be your friend. If not, it will be a very expensive enemy.

West Wimmera residents can support mental health next month with nothing but a net and some bait. Apsley’s Border Inn has hosted a yabby-catching competition for several years, but new manager Amanda Williams has chosen to use this year’s competition to raise money for mental health charity beyondblue. People can bring yabbies they catch to the Border Inn for measuring throughout the month of March. The competition will conclude with a family day celebration at the Border Inn on Sunday, March 31, when winners will be announced in the categories of length, weight and biggest claw size. The family day will feature a jumping castle, live music and free camping. Ms Williams said the hotel hoped to raise at least $5000 for beyondblue. “Hopefully we get more than $5000, that was just an initial target,” she said. “I’m a ‘newbie’ here, but this year I’ve decided to raise money for beyondblue with the yabby competition because we’ve all either dealt with or know somebody who is dealing with mental health issues and is struggling with it. “I think it’s something that needs to be spoken about more. “I grew up in Murtoa and at the very start of the year a local took their own life. No-one knew this man was struggling as bad as he was and not only is it horrific and heart breaking for his family, but the whole town went into shock. “This made me want to do something to raise awareness. For some reason it still seems to be a taboo subject to talk about and it shouldn’t be.” Ms Williams said a competition entry fee of $10 would cover three yabbies. People are free to submit as many yabbies as they want, but all yabbies must be alive at the time of measurement and entrants must pay $10 for every three yabbies.

Hindmarsh Shire Council mayor Ron Ismay said he was excited about the development. “The council can proceed with the assessment of the tenders and awarding of the contract to commence construction,” he said. “Because the council was unsuccessful with a grant application through the Federal Government for additional funding, we have had to amend the plans in order to still achieve our objective of establishing a multi-purpose facility. “It will still primarily be Dimboola’s public library and council’s customer service centre, but will be able to be used for many other events and activities.”

Construction of the new library is stage one of a multi-staged plan that will ultimately be part of a Dimboola Community Civic Hub. “Stage one will be constructed at the rear of the existing library,” Cr Ismay said. “A feature of the new library will be a rear deck and veranda that will be able to be used for community events such as on Australia Day.” The council expects to award a construction contract at its March meeting, with work starting as soon as possible – potentially in April or May. Construction is likely to take about 10 to 12 months. Plans and images of the new Dimboola Library and Council Customer Service Centre are on display in the Dimboola Library.

Students on hunt for news AC News is an Ararat College student news service dedicated to keeping the school and the broader community informed about what’s happening. The service is the brainchild of student Jack Ward and is quickly gaining broad community interest. The Weekly Advertiser invited Jack to submit a story about the program. Here is his story, written in third-person –

tudents at Ararat College are working hard each week to bring school and Ararat district news to a growing audience on Instagram.

The school’s news station – AC News – is approaching its two-year anniversary after student Jack Ward founded the program at the beginning of 2017. For the past two years students have been researching, writing, filming, interviewing, anchoring and editing to produce content and keep their audience up to date with latest news. The team has interviewed Premier Daniel Andrews and Member for Ripon Louise Staley, along with many Ararat residents and students. AC News now has more than 440 followers on Instagram and its segments have reached more than 54,000 people. It has broken many stories before other sources and team members won praise from Ararat West Primary School principal Terry Keilar for their extensive coverage of a school fire in October 2017. Ararat College teachers have supported students from the beginning of the project, including English teacher

ASKING QUESTIONS: The Ararat College 2019 AC News team. Lenny Sky who recalled how it all began. “Our first meeting consisted of myself and three students. My main role was to supervise students and support new members to find their strengths and develop their skills. Before long, the students had taken ownership of AC News,” he said. The team now involves 27 students – ranging from year seven to year 10 – who meet during lunchtimes and after school to plan and produce segments. Many volunteer their weekends for bigger news stories and events. “Being part of the AC News journey has been an incredible highlight of my teaching career,” Mr Sky said. “It has been astounding to watch AC News build momentum and become the professional hub of student energy it is today.”

Year-10 student Emily Lewis has been involved for almost two years. “I believe it’s a great experience for students and I love creating stories for our community,” she said. The AC News team has already covered many stories in 2019, including the Grampians ‘Ride to Remember’, the Townsville flood and flooding that occurred at Ararat College on March 6. Producer and anchor Jack Ward said the school flooding demanded a quick response. “I saw the water flowing into the school like a river so I yelled out to one of my fellow team members who was in my class and we ran out into the rain – I knew we had to act fast,” he said. “We realised the locker area had been flooded so we filmed a quick clip

for Instagram and went live to explain the situation.” The team updated the school community on developments throughout the evening, providing footage and photos for major news outlets. As the team approaches its two-year milestone it is building a fresh and modern-looking website. The new site will allow for written articles to be published and non-Instagram users to keep up to date. Ararat College continues to support the group – both financially and physically – which Mr Ward said was the reason AC News continued. “I believe the program will continue to run successfully because the interest is constantly growing,” he said. People can follow AC News on Instagram @acnews_.

Youth council starts planning Hindmarsh Shire Council has announced its 2019 Youth Council. Mayor Ron Ismay congratulated successful applicants on their civic appointments at a celebration launch and dinner at Jeparit Memorial Hall. The Hindmarsh Shire Youth Council for 2019 is: West Ward, Brodie Kennedy, Ruby James, Lani Elliott, Trinity Cannell; East Ward, Teo Haines, Rebekah Albrecht, Jordan Laverty, Tehya Clarke; North Ward, Jordan Leach, Nicholas Roll, Macy Fuller and Jasmine Robins. Danni Haebich, 2019 Young Citizen of the Year, is also on the youth council. Guest speakers at the launch were Hindmarsh council governance and human services manager Helen Thomson and criminologist, psychological scientist and former Hindmarsh youth councillor Georgia Gelligen. Cr Ismay said he and fellow councillors enjoyed welcoming new youth councillors to their role. “We can’t wait to see the outcomes of the initiatives that the 2019 Hindmarsh Shire Youth Council comes up with,” he said. “It was also pleasing to see so many family and friends join us in celebrating these young leaders in our community. Council is extremely proud of these young people and is eagerly anticipating the initiatives and directions they take as youth leaders within the shire.” Officials also used the occasion to thank Hindmarsh Shire youth and early years officer Meg Hall, who is leaving the council after almost 5 years in the role.

Showcase puts patients first BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

Wimmera Health and Wellness Showcase will help bring health professionals in the region together like never before.

The showcase, at Horsham Church of Christ on March 15, is the first of its kind in the Wimmera. It was designed to foster relationships between all health professionals, from doctors and nurses to allied health workers, nutritionists, massage therapists, chiropractors and physiotherapists. The event is the brainchild of Horsham business Distinct Soft Tissue Therapy owner Liz Pumpa. Mrs Pumpa said there was often a disconnect between health professionals from disparate disciplines and patients in the region were worse off as a result. “The Wimmera doesn’t have a very strong framework for health professionals,” she said. “It’s quite an individual thing, which is quite sad. “The showcase is about bringing the region’s health professionals together and creating a strong and supportive framework for our clients’ health needs, so that we can work as a team rather than individuals. “Being able to have a really good referral basis for patients is important. “Having everyone in one location so everyone can intermingle, network and relax in a non-territorial environment is a way to do that.”

Mrs Pumpa said there had never been a networking event for all health professionals in the Wimmera before. “I work in remedial massage therapy and I’ve been in this region for more than 20 years,” she said. “I’ve found there is a massive gap between GP networks and allied health. “When an individual does need a couple of modalities to get their health back on track it makes it hard. “This is what the patients want – I’m hearing it from my customers as well.” Mrs Pumpa said the event would help young graduate students at Wimmera Health Care Group establish connections in the region. The event will feature three guest speakers covering the topics ‘Manual Lymphatic Drainage’, ‘Nutrition – From Paddock to Plate’ and ‘Life Coaching-Culture, Growth and Success’. Mrs Pumpa said the talks would provide interesting insights for health workers. “The talk on lymphatic drainage will be good because it is a really specialised modality in our region,” she said. The Wimmera Health and Wellness Showcase will be from 7pm to 9.30pm. Tickets are from $29.95 and can be purchased online at www.eventbrite.com.au. Search for ‘Wimmera Health and Wellness Showcase’. People can also visit Distinct Soft Tissue Therapy’s Facebook page at www. facebook.com/distinctstt for more information.

PREPARATIONS: Vendors Helenmary Macleod and Val Albert showcase their products at last year’s Willaura Healthcare Outdoor Market. Organisers are expecting a record number of stalls at Sunday’s event. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Record stalls at Willaura market A record number of boutique stalls will greet patrons at this year’s Willaura Healthcare Outdoor Market on Sunday. Fresh off the back of winning a Community Spirit Award at Ararat Rural City Australia Day Awards, Willaura Healthcare Auxiliary is thrilled with the response of stallholders to this year’s market. Expectations are that more than 70 stalls will offer district produce and homemade goods. The market, next to Willaura Healthcare in Delacombe Way, will be from 10am to 2pm. Willaura Healthcare Auxiliary member and market co-ordinator

Jane Millear said the event was shaping up to be a great day for the whole family. She said market stalls would include jams, preserves, homewares, metal art, cards, jewelry, art and craft, chocolate, fudge, plants, soy candles and ‘so much more’. “Not only will we have stalls packed with homemade and homegrown goods, we will have music and children’s entertainment,” Mrs Millear said. “Popular music duo SOFT and Ararat City Band will perform for the crowd, while Ararat Primary School’s Bamboozle Cir-

cus troupe will amaze with their skills.” Children’s entertainment will include a jumping castle, minigolf and trackless train and for motoring enthusiasts, vintage cars will be on display. Gourmet food and coffee and the Willaura Auxiliary’s Tea House will also be at the market. During the past 13 years Willaura Healthcare Outdoor Market has raised more than $70,000 for Willaura Healthcare, which has gone towards new furnishings and fittings, equipment and activities and outings for residents.

+Luxe

onda Australia has added a new +Luxe variant to its HR-V line-up.

The model is based on the mid-range VTi-S and priced at $29,990 plus onroad costs. The standard VTi-S is priced at $27,990, however, the +Luxe adds premium features including black leather-appointed seat trim, heated front seats, metallic and pearlescent paint options and ‘+Luxe’ badging. Previously, the uprated seat trim and

heated front seats were only available on the higher-grade RS, priced at $31,990, and VTi-LX, $34,590, variants. The +Luxe is available in four exterior paint colours – Brilliant Sporty Blue metallic, Lunar Silver metallic, Modern Steel metallic and White Orchid pearlescent. Honda Australia director Stephen Collins said the increased features and sub-$30,000 pricetag for the +Luxe makes for a strong value proposition compared to its rivals

in the small SUV segment. “The HR-V VTi-S is now available with more luxury equipment than ever before, courtesy of this exclusive +Luxe package, all the while maintaining the competitive pricing, impressive interior space and unrivalled versatility that are hallmarks of the HR-V range,” he said. “In the ultra-competitive small SUV segment, the HR-V +Luxe outclasses its main rivals with a list of affordable luxury features they simply cannot match.”

Standard kit carried over from the VTi-S includes a 7.0-inch infotainment display, sat-nav, climate control, an electric parking brake, hill-hold assist, rear parking sensors, automatic LED headlights, push-button start, roof rails and 17-inch alloy wheels. All HR-V grades are powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 105kW and 172Nm, driving the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission, CVT. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.6

litres per 100 kilometres in the base variant, while carbon dioxide emissions average out at 155 grams a kilometre. Honda Australia sold 12,148 HRVs in 2018 for a 2.6 percent increase year-to-year, making it the sixth most popular small SUV behind the Hyundai Kona, 12,352, Subaru XV, 12,937, Nissan Qashqai, 13,950, Mazda CX-3, 16,293 and the best-selling Mitsubishi ASX, 19,034. – Spencer Leech

New-gen Mazda3 out in April

azda Australia has revealed local specification and pricing for its all-important Mazda3 small car, which will arrive in dealerships in April priced from $24,990 plus on-road costs for the base G20 Pure manual.

While pricing and equipment is mirrored across both hatchback and sedan body styles, the former will land first as production constraints push the latter into sometime ‘mid-year’. Compared to the outgoing version that kicks off at $20,490 for the base Neo Sport grade, Mazda has raised the point of entry for the fourth-generation Mazda3 by a significant $4500, while the cost across the line-up has also moved up. Naming conventions are also all new for the Mazda3, with the rest of the Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre petrol grades consisting of G20 Evolve, $26,990, and G20 Touring, $26,690. Variants powered by Mazda’s morepowerful 2.5-litre engine are named G25, with Evolve, $29,490, GT, $33,490, and the range-topping Astina, $36,990, grades available. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, while an automatic transmission is available on every grade

LAUNCH-READY: The New-gen Mazda3 is priced from $24,990 before on-road costs. for an extra $1000. To justify the price hike however, Mazda Australia says the new-generation line-up adds $4000 worth of extra equipment as standard. Asked if the Mazda3’s new naming structure will be adopted by other

models in the brand’s range, Mazda Australia managing director Vinesh Bhindi said ‘we like to be consistent’. Mazda will also offer the Skyactiv-X engine – the ‘world-first’ powertrain that combines compression ignition with spark ignition – before year’s

end, but has yet to confirm specific details. It is expected the Skyactiv-X Mazda3 variants will sit atop the range when they are released. Overseas markets will get an allwheel-drive option in the Mazda3, however, Australian-spec cars will remain a front-drive-only proposition. In base form, the new Mazda3 is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 114kW of power and 200Nm of torque. Standard kit in the base Pure variant includes 16-inch alloy wheels, a 7.0inch TFT multi-information display, an 8.8-inch infotainment screen with Mazda Connect, Apple CarPlay-Android Auto compatibility, eight-speaker audio with DAB+ digital radio, satnav, a reversing camera, USB input, Bluetooth and a heads-up display. Keyless push-button start, air conditioning, rear parking sensors, LED head and tail-lights, power mirrors and power windows with auto updown, tilt and telescopic steering wheel adjustment and an electronic parking brake with auto hold also feature on the standard equipment list. Mazda offers a strong suite of standard safety and driver-assistance systems including blind-spot monitoring,

Robot Motors

driver attention alert, emergency stop signal, forward obstruction warning, auto high beam, hill launch assist, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, active cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, radar-based autonomous emergency braking with reverse function, traffic-sign recognition, tyre-pressure monitoring and rain-sensing wipers. Moving up to the G20 Evolve adds 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, G-Vectoring Control Plus, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, paddle shifters for automaticequipped cars and a centre armrest for the rear pew. The G20 Touring benefits from advanced keyless entry, an auto-dimming driver’s side wing mirror, overhead sunglasses storage box, black leather seat trim, illuminated vanity mirrors and a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat. Powered by Mazda’s 139kW-252Nm 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, the G25 Evolve also gets cylinder deactivation as standard, while the G25 GT adds heated front seats, a 12-speaker Bose audio system and a heated steering wheel. The range-topping G25 Astina gains unique 18-inch alloy wheels in black for the hatch and ‘bright’ for the sedan, a surround-view monitor, adaptive LED headlights, Cruising and Traffic Support, driver monitoring, front cross-traffic alert, front parking sensors and a sunroof. Mazda made significant changes for the new-generation Mazda3 small car, as it adopted the brand’s Kodo design language, a re-worked chassis for improved handling and noise, vibration and harshness, NVH, and upgraded powertrains. The Japanese brand expects the hatch to take up about 60 percent of Mazda3 sales, with the G20 Evolve to be the most popular variant.

Ford revs up Focus hot hatch

Described by the Blue Oval brand as the most ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ ST yet, the hot five-door takes its ‘free-revving’ 2.3-litre four-cylinder EcoBoost petrol unit with a twin-scroll turbocharger from the current-generation Focus RS. However, in this application, the engine is tuned to produce 206kW of power at 5500rpm and 420Nm of torque from 3000-4000rpm – a 22kW-60Nm gain over the ST’s 2.0-litre predecessor – alongside a sporty soundtrack punctuated by pops and bangs. While a 140kW-400Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel and wagon versions of the ST are available overseas, Ford Australia has confirmed neither will be offered Down Under. For the first time with the ST, a seven-speed automatic transmission will be optional, although a six-speed manual unit continues to be standard, albeit with the option of rev-matching. Given the ST will go toe-to-toe with Hyundai’s 202kW-353Nm i30 N and Volkswagen’s 180kW-370Nm Golf GTI, its straight-line performance

needs to be suitably quick, with Ford expecting its 0-100kmh sprint time to be “less than 6.0 seconds”. In order to counteract traction issues under hard acceleration in frontwheel-drive vehicles, both manual and automatic versions have an electronic limited-slip differential, eLSD, that can redistribute up to 100 percent of torque to the wheel with the most grip. Riding on Ford’s new C2 platform, the ST sits 10mm lower than the regular Focus thanks to its sports-tuned suspension that features an independ-

Pilot Sport 4S tyres, while braking is handled by 330x27mm front discs clamped by red two-piston callipers, and 302x11mm rear rotors. Visually, the ST sets itself apart from the standard Focus with its darkgrey honeycomb grille insert, unique bumpers and side skirts, dual exhaust tailpipes and hatch-mounted spoiler. Inside, supportive Recaro sports seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, padded knee bolsters, ST-branded scuff plates and bespoke digital instrumentation further differentiate the ST.

ent multi-link rear axle and adaptive dampers at both ends. Damping stiffness in the ST is up 20 and 13 percent at the front and rear respectively over the standard Focus, although the pair do share spring rates. Steering-wise, the ST’s electric system is 15 percent quicker than the set-up used by the regular Focus, requiring only two turns lock-to-lock, while Ford claims its new software helps reduce torque steer. The ST rolls on 18 or 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in grippy Michelin

Other standard equipment includes an 8.0-inch touchscreen Sync3 infotainment system, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, DAB+ digital radio, 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a reversing camera and LED headlights, daytime running lights and foglights. Advanced driver-assist systems extend to autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep and steering assist and adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, among others. In Australia, the ST will be sourced from Germany and available in two grades as well as with an optional ‘performance pack’ that features launch control, shift indicator lights, a Track driving mode and the aforementioned rev-matching for manual versions. Standard driving modes include Slippery-Wet, Normal and Sport, all of which adjust throttle, engine sound enhancement, transmission, eLSD, suspension, steering, braking and electronic stability control settings while on the move. Sales of the Focus took a significant hit last year in the lead up to new model’s release in December, with the 3875 examples sold representing a 34.9 percent decrease over the 5953 deliveries made in 2017. – Justin Hilliard

Christian Devotions

Choosing to volunteer

People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some, it offers the opportunity to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around them. For others, it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. Some key characteristics of volunteers are - enthusiasm: being energetic and having a positive attitude can help to motivate you and others; flexibility: there are various jobs that need doing at a moment’s notice; reliability; creativity and passion; integrity; genuine interest and care for others; selflessness and humility, to name just a few of the attitudes and drivers that motivate people to volunteer. It has often been said, “I feel as though I am not just living for myself when I volunteer. I feel like I have a larger place in this world than I ever thought possible”. Volunteering is a choice and our gift to the community and comes with its rewards and challenges but there is an even greater choice in life we can make and that is: we can choose to receive God’s gift to us, life everlasting found only in Jesus Christ. Why not visit one of the churches in Stawell this weekend, as the next step in your life’s journey, you might be surprised and uncover the ultimate meaning to life! We say a very big thank you to all those who give of their time and talents to help others in our community. Irene Gould, Pastor of Stawell Baptist Church Page

Stawell Warriors

The big picture... been about the winning – they’ve been about the people I’ve played with. “Winning is great, don’t get me wrong – everyone loves to win. “But if we can be competitive and enjoy it, you’re already three quarters of the way there.” Club president Tim Williams echoed Dark’s statement, saying inclusiveness and family were big priorities for Stawell. “We’re still focusing on the family side of things, where families can come for a day of football and netball and be entertained,” he said. “We’re trying to cater for families and make it a great day out.” On court, the Warriors will be aided by the return of former junior players Georgia McDermott and Madi Smith. Madelyn Barber, Melanie Dent and Jade Allen will all step up from the 17 and under side. Junior Dakota Cosson played in Stawell’s A Grade side when it was short of numbers, and Dark said she would continue to be rotated through the team on occasions. “Some of our juniors have really gone to the next level with their netball, so we like to make sure they keep their hand in at a high

tawell’s netballers are focusing on the big picture.

The Warriors’ A Grade side has struggled during the past two seasons, winning two matches last year after a winless 2017 campaign. But despite a lean run of success since the team’s last finals appearance, spirits remain high at Central Park. New A Grade co-coach Tracey Dark said fostering a sense of togetherness and club spirit was just as important as putting a winning team on the court. “At the end of the day the big picture is your club. Each team is only a small part of that,” she said. “The big picture is being together and enjoying what you’re doing, whether you’re doing it as a player, as support staff or as a coach. “If you’re not enjoying it, it’s a lot of hard work for nothing really. “If you’re enjoying it, you get rewarded for it, whether the scoreboard says you’ve won or lost. “I’ve played a long time and been through lots of ups and downs, and some of the seasons I’ve enjoyed the most haven’t

Dark said the club’s netballers had been doing fitness work since November and would be primed to give their best effort at the start of the season. She said the A Grade side was focused on being competitive after last year’s lean campaign. “You always aim to make finals, but we’re looking at development and enjoyment as major factors as well,” she said. “We want to make sure we’re staying in matches for longer.” Dark said the team was particularly looking forward to its Good Friday match against Ararat. The match will be at Stawell’s North Park, with Central Park to host the Stawell Gift during the Easter long weekend.

Stawell Warriors

The only way is up BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

tawell Warriors are hopeful of a speedy return to finals action.

After finishing among Wimmera Football League’s top five from 2015 to 2017, the Warriors missed out despite a competitive 7-9 record last season. While a recruiting arms race has seen many teams in the league strengthen their lists, Stawell is confident it can challenge for a finals berth with a few key recruits and growth from within. Former coach and three-time club best and fairest Tom Eckel will return to the Warriors after spending a year with Glenelg in the SANFL reserves. Midfielder Jamie Bach has also returned after a year with Mininera and District Football League side Moyston-Willaura. Cody Driscoll, recruited by the Warriors before the 2018 season, will finally play his first game for the club after tearing his ACL last pre-season. Capping the club’s off-season recruiting drive was the signature of young goal-kicking midfielder Jay Moody from Hampden Football Netball League’s Portland Tigers. The return of familiar faces and addition of some fresh ones has excited Stawell coach Damian Joiner. “There are some old boys who have

already played here, but to get them back to the club is good,” he said. “Jay is the big new one we were happy to get. “We’ve had a few juniors like Jakob Salmi and Ben Leong who have gone to Swifts, but that’s about it as far as losses from last year’s side. “We have kept the main core group together and added a few more. “We didn’t want to overload with recruits – we wanted to keep the same core group and progress with that.” Joiner had been slated to co-coach the upcoming season with Jamie Solyom, but Solyom stepped away from the role earlier this month citing personal reasons. Despite the disruption of Solyom’s departure, it is still a far cry from the coaching drama of last year for Stawell. Warriors coach Colin Macaffer was sacked just one game into the 2018 season, with Solyom and Joiner stepping up to coach the team for the rest of the year. Joiner said he was sad to see Solyom go, but was happy to take more responsibility. “An obvious negative of the summer would be Jamie stepping away, but the footy side of things has been going perfectly,” he said. “It’s been good – I’ve enjoyed tak-

ing on the coaching duties full-time. The boys have made it a lot easier with their commitment towards footy. “We’ve had good numbers on the track and all the young blokes coming up from the juniors have been attending. “It has been an easy transition for me to be honest.” Stawell president Tim Williams said the team had performed admirably amid coaching drama last year, and would be better with fewer distractions this season. “After last year with all the off-field stuff going on, the boys did a really good job to do what they did,” he said. “They played fantastically, and with these new fellas coming on board the only way is up for us. “I think between the new recruits and no off-field dramas, that’s where the improvement will come from. “I think we will be around the mark. We’re certainly not going to be a pushover.” Joiner said if the team continued to focus on improving, the results would take care of themselves. “All we want to do is progress from last year,” he said. “The next step is to play finals and finish in the top four or five and make sure we’re a real danger come the end of the year.”

Natimuk United Rams

New challenge for Ewes BY DEAN LAWSON

ust what do you do and what direction do you take to fire up passion and desire after your team wins backto-back premierships?

You just treat the approaching season like any other, try to keep everyone together, acknowledge that every year is different and feed off the confidence generated from success. That’s a simple formula Natimuk United A Grade coach Cheryl Sudholz is adopting as she and her coaching brains trust prepare their teams for another big year. The Ewes are a contemporary sporting success story, having broken a 40-year drought to win a flag in 2015 and maintaining yardstick consistency. Sudholz was both pragmatic and excited about the approaching season, explaining that providing spots in teams for a large list of players was an initial challenge. “Things are going very well. At the moment we’re going through a meet and greet process, welcoming everyone to the club,” she said. “Each week we’re seeing familiar faces coming back as well as new faces. “Last week we had 55 girls training, girls we have to try to fit into four teams. It is a good problem to have.” Sudholz acknowledged the Ewes had become ‘the hunted’ team in the competition that everyone would try to beat. “Importantly, we know how difficult it is to

win a premiership – our history tells us that, and when you do it’s precious,” she said. “It is something you can’t take for granted and the key is to always be as strong and competitive as possible.” Sudholz expanded further, outlining a broad philosophy underpinning Natimuk United’s approach this year. “We’re simply treating it as a brand-new year and seeing what it brings,” she said. “Each year is totally different – not so much as a team in our circumstance, we just make a few tweaks here and there – but the changes across the competition and in opposition teams. “It’s just a matter of getting a feel for the play, not focusing on what everyone else is doing, but working on our game and getting up to scratch. “We’re working on fitness, ball handling and getting where we need to be and going from there.” Sudholz has plenty to work with and a quick scan through a player-retention list and coaching appointments more than suggests the Ewes are again going to be hard to beat. While the A Grade team will miss mid-courter Emily Hateley, out of action with family duties, and goalie Amy Pilgrim with study commitments, it remains potent. Versatile and high-leaping Alicia Liston will again be in action and Casey Vanstan and Jo Taylor will appear as ominous as ever at the defensive end of the court. Shannon Couch will still be working under the at-

tacking ring, while Sudholz, Michelle Trigg and Danielle Fleay work the ball through the middle. “We’re very lucky we have such a versatile group,” Sudholz said. “We have juniors we’re trying to get up there, especially the likes of Ebony Rintoule who will learn a lot from two of the best defenders in the competition.” Sudholz revealed that much of Natimuk United’s strength came from the depth of experience in an overall coaching and leadership group. “As coaches we all work together,” she said. “Because we have such large numbers it’s important we talk through our plans each week and maximise our time on the court. “It can be tricky, but as coaches we talk all the time. “We all work really well together and it’s great that we can learn from each other and get each other’s perspective and experience. “It’s also a case of developing structure and to have A Grade and experienced players filtering through the coaching ranks is a bonus.” Natimuk United president Adam Blake agreed netball culture at the club was significant. “The netball is setting the benchmark in results, which of course is wonderful for the club overall,” he said. “And the challenge has been narrowing the gap between the netball and football, which I’m confident is happening.”

Natimuk United Rams

Rams joining dots

“Our player retention has been fantastic and our only loss has been Garry Hallam. “While you always leave a recruiting list open, my focus now is to concentrate on our core group, which is more than capable of being successful this year.” Anson said structuring up the team for specific circumstances would be priority this season. Among plans are getting the formula right to exploit the club’s overhead marking power in attack. “If we can structure up a way where our forwards can isolate their opponents there won’t be too many teams that will be able to match that firepower,” Anson said. Club president Adam Blake agreed the Rams were shaping up for a big year and had high expectations. “Last year we were really proud of winning the league club champion award,” he said. “But we really want to keep building. The feeling is that last year on the footy field we held our ground and we really want to build on that this year,” he said. “The club is running along well and there is a strong sense people are enjoying the environment. “Critically, when it comes to the footy, there are no massive holes emerging.” The Rams are back training at 6pm on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Go Rams

Natimuk United Football Netball Club

The environment east of the rock suggests the Rams are on the edge of completing the puzzle, with the chance of revealing something special this season. Momentum is a word many bandy around in football circles, but that’s exactly what Natimuk United has been generating for the past few years. The Rams, who in the past have suffered the indignity of being competition easy beats, have been undergoing a transformation and there is a sense a winning culture is taking hold. Much of it has to do with the club’s netball success and it seems only a matter of time before the football side of the camp also enjoys profound celebrations. That is certainly what coach Sam Anson, in his third year at the helm, is feeling in a pre-season build-up. “I can honestly say that the feeling at the club is the best I’ve experienced since taking over the reins. It is looking exciting,” he said. “There is a serious feeling of a build in club momentum, in culture and expectation – that something is about

to happen. This type of feeling comes with internal pressure in the playing group, where depth creates a need for players to perform to hold their spot.” Natimuk United has had a taste of finals for the past two years but on both occasions has tumbled from premiership contention in elimination games. It stands to reason that club leaders are drawing on these results for inspiration this year. “To put it lightly, that’s pretty much what’s burning inside,” Anson said. “For us to reach the level and to say we’ve turned everything around – all the disappointments of the past – is 100 percent the plan. “There are no ‘what ifs’, ‘buts’ or ‘maybes’, we have to move forward this year.” One of the key elements stoking the fires of confidence is an enviable list of graduates emerging from the club’s under-17 ranks. The Rams have 13 players stepping up, seven who had a taste of senior football last year. Running alongside them at training this year are experienced Liam Offer and Matt Williams, rekindling old Horsham United connections, and newcomer Matt Riddell. “They have already proved pivotal with their leadership and the guys are really looking up to them,” Anson said.

Player influx BY DAVID BERRY

n influx of juniors into its Monday night program has created a scheduling nightmare for Volleyball Horsham administrators.

Junior team numbers have increased with eight teams participating, while an increase in female participation has led to the creation of a standalone female competition with six teams. A traditional C Grade competition will also continue with six teams. It’s a great problem to have, even though putting the draw together has been a challenge in scheduling 10 time slots across one night with only two courts. Because Monday nights have more juniors than seniors, the challenge was to ensure the scheduling did not run too late. Starting the juniors at 4.30pm and giving them 45-minute games means breaking away from the traditional 55-minute games. As it is we should finish by 9.10pm. Sometimes tradition has to be discarded and while we like to see kids playing for as long as possible, it was not feasible with the numbers we had and the lack of court space. To create a standalone female competition is a bonus, especially for the girls who have been mixing it with the boys in recent seasons. Horsham College has done a great job in building numbers, especially with girls, and now those girls have had a taste of Schools

Cup, they have the appetite for stronger competition. Moving those girls into a female only competition against senior girls will satisfy their hunger and keep their enthusiasm high. Volleyball Horsham was successful in obtaining a Vichealth Active Club grant to help with the development of a female competition. Funding will assist with accrediting referees, so each team will be encouraged to nominate two players to complete a foundation referee course, which upon successful completion will see them get reimbursed the cost of their accreditation. Having accredited referees means the standard of competition should build as the players get a better understanding of the rules of the game. Volleyball Horsham is in a good space, ticking all the boxes associated with participation. There is now a competition structure that suits all levels of play, from A Grade to B and C grades, women’s competition and juniors. We’ll also look at our Spikezone program for term two, aimed at upper primary school children, and we are building our capacity to assist schools in offering volleyball through the Sporting Schools Program. Never before has the opportunity to play volleyball been so broad and diverse. Anyone interested in playing volleyball in Horsham in the upcoming season should contact info@volleyballhorsham.com.au.

TRIPLES SUCCESS: A Horsham City team of Trevor Wood, s, Esma Wood and Wayne Gray, pictured from left, won the club’s Twilight Two Bowl Triples tournament with 86 points. They won from runners-up Chris Oliver, s, Terry Satori and Grenville Short, 62, from Coughlin Park. Twenty teams from Coughlin Park, Horsham Sunnyside, Horsham Golf, Natimuk, Nhill and Horsham City competed in the tournament, playing three games of 10 ends.

Anglers miss out at Taylors Lake Fishing at Taylors Lake can be a hit and miss affair. Unfortunately for Stawell Angling Club members, last weekend was a big miss. Members took part in an interclub competition against Lake Bolac and Ballarat angling clubs for a grand total of just five fish caught, all yellowbelly. Still, members enjoyed a good weekend.

Results from Stawell anglers saw Doug Collins take out top honours with two yellowbellies measuring 81 centimetres, from Gavin Keilar’s one yellowbelly at 37 centimetres. Darren Smith was third with a 31.5-centimetre yellowbelly. Collins also took out the longest fish award with a nice 49-centimetre yellowbelly.

Most fish were returned to the water to be caught another day. The next club competition will be at Portland during the Labor Day weekend in March, beginning at 6am on the Saturday and finishing at 6pm Sunday. Weigh-ins will be at Portland Tourist Park. – Ray Howard

New Rainbow event

he southern Mallee town of Rainbow will build on a burgeoning reputation as an off-road racing centre when it presents a Rainbow Rises 240 event on March 10.

The event will be similar to Rainbow Desert Enduro, which has put the town on the international sporting map, but unlike the enduro will be limited to one day of action. Rainbow Rises 240 will double as the opening round of a CAMS Victorian Off Road Championship and round one of Victorian Off Road Club Shield racing. The short-course event will involve drivers travelling 240 kilometres around an 8.7-kilometre prologue track as part of the state off-road championship. Drivers will take part in three heats of nine laps for this competition, completing 27 laps of the track in total. In the Victorian shield competition, drivers will complete a total of 18 laps of the course, covering 156 kilometres. Hindmarsh Shire Council mayor and prominent Rainbow advocate Ron Ismay said the event was an exciting addition to the region’s events calendar. “We expect between 20 and 30 competitors including some of the big guns that were at our national event last August, which is extremely exciting,” he said. “We’re inviting people to come along and check out the new event, with a spectator hill tipped to provide highlights to

ADDITION: Josh Howells flies across the finish line at the 2018 Rainbow Desert Enduro. Competitors take part in the first Rainbow Rises 240 on March 10. Picture: ELISSA KELLER all throughout the day.” Scrutineering will be at the track from 7am, with the race scheduled to start at 10.30am. Entry into the event is free. Mr Ismay said work at the site had been well underway in preparation for the Rainbow Rises 240 to help provide the spectators with the best view possible of the race. He said all jumps had been adjusted after the Rainbow Desert Enduro, including the introduction of a new lower jump beside the huge spectacular jump at the finish line

to accommodate smaller suspension vehicles. Spectator viewing for the Rainbow Rises 240 will be at the Graincorp Bow Hill site, one kilometre west of Rainbow on the Rainbow Rises Road. Catering will be available at the track, with bacon and egg sandwiches from 6.30am to 9.30am and a continuous barbecue from 10am. Donuts, icy poles and ice creams, soft drinks, water, tea and coffee will also be available. The third Rainbow Desert Enduro will be from August 9 to 11.

Finals spots undecided With two rounds remaining in Stawell Tennis Club’s Friday night competition, grand-final spots remain up for grabs with seven points separating first and fifth. Frewstal remains mathematically in contention but would need a minor miracle to qualify, with no wins on the board at this late stage of the season. Stawell Toyota came back to earth with a thud, suffering its first loss of the season at the hands of a rampaging Delahunty Plumbing outfit. Anna Sullivan, who showed a return to form after indifferent performances in recent weeks, brilliantly led Delahunty Plumbing. Shane Field and Neve O’Shannessy were also instrumental in the victory. A couple of youngsters in Henry Clough and Will Hackwill tried valiantly for Stawell Toyota, which remains at the top of the ladder, but only just. The final score, Delahunty Plumbing 11 sets 85 games to Stawell Toyota 7-72. David O Jones Mitre 10 inched closer to the head of the competition with a relatively comfortable win over cellar dweller Frewstal. Mitre 10 skipper Madi Freeland bamboozled the opposi-

tion with her vast array of shots while on her way to three victories, while Elise Monaghan and Sam Ranton did as they pleased with three wins each of their own. Amy Hodgetts, Luke Monaghan and Hayley Reading, who has returned to the club after a lengthy hiatus, all fought hard against the odds. Final score, Mitre 10 10-89 defeated Frewstal 8-74. Stawell Goldmine has its sights set firmly on a grandfinal berth after a dominant victory over fellow final aspirant Grampians Joinery. Andrew Dunn, Mari Rickard, Carel Chang and Emily Davis were all in ominous touch from the outset for Stawell Goldmine, propelling their team to a comfortable win. Hugh Carey continued his rich vein of form for Grampians Joinery but unfortunately lacked support. The end scoreline was Stawell Goldmine 12-90 to Grampians Joinery 6-69. Ladder: Stawell Toyota 50 points, Mitre 10 48, Stawell Goldmine 47, Grampians Joinery 44, Delahunty Plumbing 43, Frewstal 32. – Joel Freeland

Wickets tumbling BY DEAN LAWSON

Horsham Cricket Association clash between Jung Tigers and RupanyupMinyip has been a story of tumbling wickets as both try to gain a psychological edge in a build-up to finals.

Play between the two at Horsham City Oval will resume on Saturday with the Tigers needing only 14 runs to secure first-innings points and the Blue Panthers requiring five wickets. Fifteen wickets fell last Saturday, rare for a usually benign Horsham City Oval track, with the Tigers’ Dan Garner finishing off a Jung assault with 4-8. Blue Panthers all-rounder Mark Mbofana, who had earlier top-scored for his team with 39, then followed up with the ball and will resume this weekend with 4-24 against his name. Knocks from Mbofana, Dan Clark, run out for 25 and Victor Lothian, 18, were the only bright batting performances from Rupanyup-Minyip. But the top-order batting effort from the Tigers was also far from impressive with Sam

Leith providing some resistance with 23. Father and son Puls combination David, 27, and Tyler, 15, will resume at the crease for the Tigers on Saturday. Horsham Saints, meanwhile, continued their solid pre-finals batting form, clipping 9-273 against West Wimmera at Nhill. Corey Smith top-scored for the Saints with 76 while fellow opener Gary Davidson continued his big season with 60. His knock, with one home-andaway round remaining after this weekend, took his season tally to 653 at an average of 72.56. Austin Smith at first drop contributed 45 and Josh Hedt an unbeaten 35 and Tim Bell 26 down the order. West Wimmera toiled hard against the Saints’ potent top order with Brad Keller returning the best figures of 4-37. The Warriors have a hefty chase to navigate when play resumes. Premiership favourites Homers appear primed to continue their march towards the finals after a crushing first-day effort against Laharum. The Pigeons showed off their

Clubbers on top T

BY ONE SHORT

he final day of Grampians Cricket Association home-and-away matches led to Youth Club regaining top position with an outright win over Halls Gap.

The minor premiership also came via BuangorTatyoon doggedly holding out Swifts-Great Western and preventing a similar result. St Andrews defeated Aradale for the second time this season, while Pomonal had a bye. At Stawell’s Central Park, the Clubbers resumed at 5-118 against Halls Gap and batted on to reach 187 with Brad Carnovale reaching 50 with Faizel Butt the best of the Gappers’ bowlers with five wickets. Batting a second time the Gappers put together 94, with Clubbers opening bowlers Clinton Slorach, 5-16, and Cam Kimber, 3-16, doing the damage. This left Youth Club to make four second-innings runs, which came in the first over. Swifts-Great Western, at Tatyoon, declared at the overnight score, sending Buangor-Tatyoon back into bat. But this time Buangor-Tatyoon dug in and upset the Combine’s outright plans. Nearly every batsman contributed to a final score of 4-143, with Jacob Bates leading with 41. Best of the Combine’s bowlers was Jayden McCartney with 2-9 in an innings that yielded 24 maidens out of the 69 bowled. At Ararat’s Alexandra Oval, St Andrews beat Aradale by seven runs in a match that was nip and tuck all day. Resuming at 3-34, Aradale lost wickets regularly, with the only partnership of any note being 25

runs between Mitch Wood, 20 not out, and Clinton Rodger. Saints captain Tom Mills started the day with three wickets and finished with a match-winning 6-25 from 22 overs, while Sam Summers chipped in with 3-22. Semi-finals this Saturday and Sunday involves Youth Club playing Buangor-Tatyoon at Stawell’s Central Park and Swifts-Great Western up against Pomonal at Alexandra Oval. Youth Club, which has led the competition for all but one of the games this season, will start favourite in its game. Youth Club owes its dominance to opening bowlers Cam Kimber and Clinton Slorach, who have taken 59 wickets between them, and their star bat Nic Baird who leads the run averages with 69.29. A problem for Buangor-Tatyoon is that an injury cloud hangs over Michael Harricks, who is suffering from a basketball-inflicted ankle injury. Harricks leads bowling averages and will be sorely missed if he can’t bowl. Batting has been a problem for Buangor-Tatyoon, having been dismissed four times under 100 runs, however, its last innings against the Combine showed a lot of promise. In the other semi-final, Swifts-Great Western would be favoured against Pomonal having beat them in their only meeting this season. The Combine has a balanced attack and a good batting line-up, so Pomonal will look to youngster Lachlan Dalkin, Lee Oliver and co to restrict its highly rated opponent’s batting and then rely on Matt Peel, Clinton Mackley and Luke Jordan to score the runs.

Horsham basketball star Mitch Creek was proud of the effort of a young Australian Boomers squad despite mixed results in the team’s final two FIBA World Cup qualifying games. Creek was a leader of the newlook Boomers outfit that featured 10 players making their national debuts in games against Kazakhstan in Astana on Friday and Iran in Tehran on Monday. Creek was one of the main contributors in Australia’s 81-60 win against Kazakhstan, scoring 12 points on efficient 5-7 shooting, dishing five assists and nabbing two steals. He came off the bench against Iran but was quickly inserted into the line-up when Australia fell behind. Despite Creek’s excellent 20-point, nine-rebound, four-assist performance, the Boomers could not claw back a 10-point quarter-time deficit and lost 85-74. The loss did not affect Australia’s standing for the World Cup because it had already qualified in top spot for the Asian region with the win against Kazakhstan. After the loss to Iran Creek praised his young team-mates. “Beyond proud of this group of men!” he said. “The true definition of tough Aussie basketballers.” – Colin MacGillivray

Haven’s Tim Officer

St Michaels enter finals as favourites S

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

t Michaels will enter the finals of the 2018-19 Central Wimmera Tennis Association season as a red-hot favourite to claim its fourth pennant premiership in a row.

The Saints have tasted defeat just once this season, succumbing to Haven in round seven while fielding several fill-in players. Since then the Saints have been nearly untouchable, dropping more than four sets on just one occasion and powering their way to the minor premiership. Their dominance was showcased at the weekend when they dispatched winless Telangatuk East with ruthless efficiency. St Michaels did not drop a set, and was only seriously challenged in one rubber when Peter Hayes and Nick Robertson beat Telangatuk East’s Luke Byrne and Peter Rogers 8-6. It was one of only two rubbers in which Telangatuk East won more than three games. Remarkably, Saint Jess McDonald did not lose a single game all day across her three rubbers. She teamed with partners Angela Nitschke and Barbara Crough for 8-0 doubles wins to go with her 8-0 singles victory against Telgatuk East’s Grace Lutze. St Michaels’ Ian Nitschke won another 8-0 rubber for his side with a singles drubbing of Daniel Rogers. The final score was a lopsided 14 sets, 112 games to 0-29. The Saints will now face Horsham Lawn in a first semi-final, with passage directly to the grand final on the line. Lawn finished second on the ladder despite dropping a tight encounter with Drung South at the weekend. The Drungsters, led by a magnificent effort from their always-dangerous women, scraped to an 8-93 to 6-89 victory.

Kalkee’s Steve Schultz Kate-Lyn Perkin and Romi Miller defeated singles opponents Cherie Wood and Rachel McKinnon and were both successful in each of their doubles rubbers. Horsham Lawn’s Jae McGrath and Graeme Wood fought admirably and kept their side within striking distance, but the firepower of Drung South’s women proved too much. The Drungsters sealed themselves a finals spot with the win, edging out Haven after Kalkee comprehensively beat it on Saturday. Haven was forced to forfeit three sets because of player shortages but fared little better in the rubbers it did play. Kalkee brothers Steve and Grant Schultz dominated throughout the day and only Skye Davis’ 8-2 singles triumph against Kee Zandria Malone got Haven on the board. The final score was Kalkee 13-106 to Haven 1-29. The Kees now host Drung South in a cutthroat semi-final. The winner of the Kalkee and Drung South match will play the loser of St Michaels and Horsham Lawn in a preliminary final.

Twilight addition to evolving event P

“We’re hoping this dedicated effort to open the event into the twilight hours and support the community that has for so long supported us, will give as many people as possible an opportunity to experience what the event is all about”

BY DEAN LAWSON

roviding greater connectivity between everyday people, rural culture and the region’s largest agriculture-based events is behind a major revamp of Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

The Field Days at Longerenong next week will include a new Twilight Tuesday, with gates opening at 9.30am and closing at 7pm. The shift is a national first for agricultural field days and critically, from 3pm on, Twilight Tuesday patrons can attend the event free of charge. Field days manager Murray Wilson said the change was an exciting development and came on the back of extensive survey results. “It’s been something we’ve been thinking about – how can we give everyone the best possible chance to attend the field days? – and we had overwhelming support to trial the concept,” he said. Mr Wilson said the decision to create a free-of-charge twilight element for the iconic three-day event was to encourage people who might otherwise have little opportunity to attend. “We want to provide everyone with the best opportunity to attend regardless of changing social circumstances and work and family commitments,” he said.

or re-establish a connection with the field days. “If you have never seen half-million-dollar machinery up close, this is the chance,” he said. “Many dealers will even allow people to get up in cockpits – some of which are like jumbo jets – to get an idea of technology involved in farming in the 21st century,” he said. Mr Wilson was quick to add that the Twilight Ag Expo was only part of a big three days of exhibitions and displays. “Many exhibitors have shifted or freshened up their sites, some putting on major showcases to provide patrons with unique insights into their products. But others have gone the opposite way,” Mr Wilson said. “What we’re also finding this year is that a demand for indoor sites is very strong. “The key agribusiness pavilion filled very quickly, triggering a need for an additional marquee to meet the needs of exhibitors wanting indoor space. “This in turn has allowed other dealer areas to expand and this has worked in with our annual plan to always change the layout of outdoor sites to showcase something different every year. “A clear message is that companies are putting more effort into engaging people. “Exhibitor numbers are very strong. We always have a turnover of smaller companies and this year we have 40 new exhibitors on site. “We expect the close to 1000 sites available at Wimmera Events Centre will be occupied by day one of the Field Days.”

FAMILY TIME: Wimmera Machinery Field Days vice-president Sam Eagle and wife Emily are looking forward to taking their children Penny, 6, and Henry, 3, to Tuesday’s twilight event. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “We said it last year when we announced the change – we live in busy times and it is no longer the case that a family can simply take a whole day off to attend the Field Days. “In some cases many people simply

have not been able to attend the Field Days at all. “We’re hoping this dedicated effort to open the event into the twilight hours and support the community that has for so long supported us, will give

as many people as possible an opportunity to experience what the event is all about.” Mr Wilson said after he announced the twilight plans last year, the field days committee had explored the development’s potential. “It has revealed significant opportunities to steer the event in new and exciting directions,” he said. “From 3pm Tuesday, people will be able to experience and celebrate a showcase free of charge. “There will be live music and entertainment, gourmet food and outdoor dining and we encourage people to come out for tea with family and friends. “In supporting this exciting new format the committee will host special attractions. “Features of the Twilight Ag Expo will be the Team D Max Iron Summit, with the world’s steepest four-wheeldrive ramp and Factory FMX Motocross stunt riders jumping over CASE tractors. “Prickly Moses Mobile Brewery and Seppelt Wine Bar will be on site, there will be helicopter rides, shearing demonstrations and heaps of attractions for kids and families.” Mr Wilson said the evening provided an opportunity for people to establish

he Wimmera Machinery Field Days presents three days of farming and ag-industry business, however it also means three days of socialising, relaxing and enjoying a break with friends and longtime workmates.

This year we will introduce an exciting new initiative. For the first time we will host a ‘twilight day’ on the Tuesday of the Field Days. Staying open to 7pm with free entry after 3pm, we feel it will give everyone in the surrounding region the best possible chance to visit the Field Days and experience everything there is to offer.

Murray Wilson

Presenting a global view of agriculture FROM THE PRESIDENT

elcome to the 57th annual Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

On behalf of the WMFD committee and staff, I hope you have a wonderful and productive time attending this year’s event. This year is the first year the event has extended its opening hours on the Tuesday, for ‘Twilight Tuesday’. The past season and recent harvest has been somewhat of a paradox for farming. Variables with rainfall, late frosts, livestock and commodity prices, again highlights that in agriculture we must always expect the unexpected, cope with it and utilise opportunities. The three-day event presents the site for exhibitors to showcase the latest farming innovations and technology from not only Australia but from around the globe. It is not limited to this as we also have other areas including finance, industries that support agriculture, lifestyle and merchandise just to name a few. This all adds up to a great day to socialise with family and friends. The Field Days also helps nurture our younger generation involved in agriculture

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

and the broader regional industry that contributes to our economy. The WMFD committee, staff and their families are a dedicated, passionate team who tirelessly work throughout the year to improve our facilities for not only this event but also other events which are held on this site throughout the year under the banner of the Wimmera Events Centre. As well as the WMFD committee, there are many volunteers and community organisations that are a vital part in running this event. I sincerely thank them for their contribution. We appreciate all our exhibitors and sponsors and thank them for their support again this year. Without them we wouldn’t have such a successful event. Once again, on behalf of the WMFD committee and staff, I welcome you to this year’s Field Days and hope that you enjoy your visit. Safe travelling home and a profitable season ahead.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days special edition

Opportunity in shearing BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

inyip farmer Tom McGrath will educate people about the shearing and wool industry with live shearing demonstrations during Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

Mr McGrath will demonstrate the process of shearing a sheep and provide information about potential careers in the industry on March 5 and 6. He said the sessions were for ‘anyone and everyone’. “It’s not necessarily for people within our industry to come and have a look, but more for people from outside the industry to get an understanding of the process and the product that comes from the process of shearing, which is wool,” he said. “I’ll be touching on what the wool product can be used for and the day-to-day life of a shearer to try to entice some new blood into the industry. “Hopefully I can showcase it as a good career path and one that you can make good money in while having a good lifestyle as well.” Mr McGrath said a skill shortage in the shearing and wool industry had made it an attractive career option for prospective employees. He said he would educate people on the opportunities available within the industry. “It’s an industry that isn’t going away, so as we have fewer people

SHEEP SHOW: Minyip’s Tom McGrath will host live sheep shearing demonstrations at the upcoming Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

entering the industry the job opportunities become greater and therefore job security becomes a lot more accessible as well,” he said. “It’s important for the industry to continue on because it is a large employment sector within the Wimmera. “It’s about keeping that circle of employment going in the region.” This will be Mr McGrath’s second demonstration at a Wimmera Machinery Field Days. He said he would provide more information for attendees than he did in 2018. “Last year was focused on trying to get more interest in shearing as a

career path for people, and this year it’s more about exposure,” he said. “I’ll touch on traineeships and the best pathways into a career in the shearing and wool industry. “There are a hell of a lot of traineeships and a lot of support out there, and financial incentives to get in and have a go. I want to promote the support that is out there.” Mr McGrath said shearing could offer people enjoyable, physical work within a tight-knit group of colleagues. “I enjoy the physical challenge and knowing that at the end of the day you’ve done a good honest day’s work,” he said.

Get more ponies Makes sense

“The friendships formed in the shearing shed are definitely another key element to why I enjoy it. “It’s a relaxed lifestyle as well, because you’re not dealing with customers or other stressors. “It’s just you and your team unit.” Mr McGrath said times for his demonstrations had not been finalised, but encouraged people to seek him out during the Field Days. “If you are interested, come up and ask me about how you can get involved in a career in the shearing and wool industry,” he said. “I’m a friendly person and I hope people aren’t intimidated to come up and say something.”

‘Marjorie’ a special guest B

reastScreen Victoria’s hot pink van, known as ‘Marjorie’, will be a special guest at this year’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

The doors will open to women aged 50 to 74 for a free breast screen. For women in the target age group, a breast screen every two years is the best way to find cancer early – before there are symptoms and when treatment is most successful. Breast screens can find cancer as small as a grain of rice, before a woman or her doctor can see or feel anything. They only take 10 minutes, don’t need a doctor’s referral or Medicare card, are with a female radiographer and are free. BreastScreen Victoria chief executive Vicki Pridmore is encouraging women over 50 who are visiting the Field Days to take advantage of the van’s visit. “Marjorie is one of our two mobile screening service vans which travel the state throughout the year,” she said. “This visit to the Wimmera has been organised so women attending the Field Days can access a potentially life-saving screen. “The vans use the highest-quality digital radiography machines so women receive the best service, wherever they live. “Women don’t need to make an appointment – they can walk in and screen right then and there. The friendly female radiographers are also happy to answer any questions or concerns about breast screening and breast cancer.” Ms Pridmore said people could find out more about breast screening online at www. breastscreen.org.au.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days edition

Make a plan, Jan I

f you are tossing up whether to go to the Wimmera Machinery Field Days, I’m going to give you several reasons to go, but far more important than that – THE PLAN.

Trust me, you will need THE PLAN. I’ve been to more field days during the past 35 years… yes, 35 years… than I’d care to mention and I’ve learned the hard way that no plan equals potential disaster. Let me take you back to my first field day adventure in my little field day time traveller. It’s 1986, Perth, Western Australia. I’m a freshfaced 26-year-old radio reporter of 18 months’ experience and recently promoted to presenter of WA Country Hour. The order from a higher force: the ABC Rural Department boss, who bellowed across the office, ‘you do know you’re expected at the Dowerin Field Days. You’ll be broadcasting solo for the entire program with Vladimir – name changed to protect his identity, although he was Russian – as your soundo’. On my own, no producer, just a soundo who was notorious for not be able to cope under pressure. It was a nightmare scenario. And it delivered. Everything went wrong. We went off air, people I’d lined up to interview didn’t turn up or couldn’t find us, punters strolling past thought I was the field-day announcer and sauntered up while I was broadcasting to ask me questions about where the toilets were, where the working dog trials were; even one inconsolable women bawling because she’d lost her child and wanted me to make an announcement. ‘Vladimir’ went very red in the face and started visibly shaking and just kept shrugging his shoulders and muttering under his breath as he fiddled with a broadcast van full of wires, clearly not having a clue what to do.

Country Today with Libby Price

I still have the cassette recording of the program labelled in big capital letters – DOWERIN DISASTER. I’m happy to say that is the one and only field day disaster. Now, I love a good field day. There is literally something for everyone. So to, THE PLAN! First, read the guide to the field days like you would the form guide. Make a list of the ‘must see’ sites. For me, that’s anything horsey, anything to do with gardening, my favourite clothing stands and then working dogs, followed by sheep breeds. I know you’re thinking, ‘but this is a machinery field days’. Fear not, for it will deliver all manner of surprises. Then, mark out on the field day map the ‘must see’ sites. Work out a route. Don’t just wing it. Trust me, if you do, you’ll hit lunch time as an exhausted, grumpy wreck. Methodically work out where you’re going next before taking even one step, otherwise you’ll keep crossing your tracks. Then there’s the obvious: sunscreen, a hat and comfy shoes. You’re not there for a fashion parade, you’re there to shop until you drop. It’s just occurred to me I should come up with a special field days app! Until Wimmera Machinery Field Days, make THE PLAN and I’ll see you there.

Spin the wellness wheel hat does wellness mean to you?

Rural Northwest Health’s wellness team will be at Wimmera Machinery Field Days this year to answer any health or wellness questions people might ask. Each day of the field days, including at the new Tuesday twilight session, there will be a wellbeing co-ordinator, a speech pathologist and an occupational therapist on site to help with any health or wellness-related issues. And by visiting the Rural Northwest Health’s site in the Moore Pavilion at Wimmera Events Centre, people will also have the chance to win a prize on the ‘Medicoach Wellness Wheel’.

wellness and what people spin will determine their prize. The team at Rural Northwest Health has urged everyone to make sure they take part. Rural Northwest Health promotion officer Kelsey Hamilton said the idea of the wheel was to get people to think about their wellness. “We want people to think about what wellness is to them and how it affects their overall health,” she said. “We will also have healthy snacks of vegetable sticks and hummus to give away, plus flavoured water and something for the kids as well. “There is also a chance to win a major health-agencies competition draw.”

Come and visit us outside in the Country Lifestyle Carpark to get your free breast screen in our mobile screening van. Or you can just stop by to talk with our friendly staff who can answer any questions you may have about breast screening. Breast screens are free, take 10 minutes and are with a woman.

Site awards up for grabs W

immera Machinery Field Days prides itself on providing a showcase with a modern professional image and the latest in agriculture machinery and technology.

To encourage exhibitors to strive for similar ideals, there are two major product awards and 11 site awards on offer during the Field Days next week. The two main product awards are judged by a panel of regional primary producers and agribusiness professionals, who are also committee members of Wimmera Machinery Field Days. Field Days manager Murray Wilson said in many cases, the award-winning machine had gone on to become a standard piece of equipment on farms throughout Australia. Judging criteria for the product awards include the machine’s purpose and suitability; scope of application; construction – durability, appearance and design; ease of maintenance and service; ease of operation – including operator comfort and safety; ease of adjustment; availability of parts; and

Wimmera Machinery Field Days 2019

overall value-for-money. The machinery and agribusiness products must be new to the market in the 12 months following last year’s Field Days, in March, to be eligible to enter the awards. The exhibitor site awards are also judged by a panel of Wimmera Machinery Field Days committee members. Judges will look at the overall showcase and ease of recognition, effort put into the display, quality of the site and overall participation in the theme and spirit of Wimmera Machinery Field Days. Judges also look for aesthetic appeal, presentation of equipment on display, dress and ease of recognition of staff on the site and safety including tent pegs, leads, sharp objects and trip hazards. Mr Wilson said it was also important that exhibitor site holders are compliant with Wimmera Machinery Field Day policy and procedure before and during the event. He said presentations to all winners would be in Field Days Square on Wednesday at 2pm.

Stunt show a ‘huge spectacle’

otocross stunt riders leaping over massive agricultural machinery is not something you see every day, unless you attend each day of the Field Days.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days will again host an exciting freestyle motocross stunt team. Field Days manager Murray Wilson said the hugely successful and popular stunt riders from Factory FMX would perform their live shows across the three days.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

“As a bonus this year, there will be two professional riders showcasing tandem jumps and the latest mid-air tricks, leaping distances of more than 70-feet long and 30-feet high,” he said. “O’Connors Farm Machinery has come on board to sponsor the motocross stunt show and will offer the stunt riders the chance to leap over some huge tractors and other O’Connors machines, which will be lined up under the jumps area. “It’s a huge spectacle.”

Mr Wilson said the motocross stunt riders were a huge drawcard. “With the regions strong connection to motocross and a first-class track nearby, it is a great fit for the Field Days,” he said. “It’s also fantastic to have major Field Days exhibitor O’Connors show their support by providing farm vehicles and machinery for the team to leap over, which is sure to be an impressive sight for patrons.” The team from Factory FMX Motocross will perform three shows daily.

College students put on a show “The more opportunities they get to perform, the better – this is what they want to do and they’re involved in performing arts for a reason”

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

orsham College will offer attendees of next week’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days a sneak preview of this year’s student production of the musical School of Rock.

The college has promoted itself at the Field Days with student displays of textiles, dance and hospitality for several years, and began offering performing-arts production previews three years ago. Production director Emily Friedrichsen said previewing shows at the Field Days helped promote the college’s shows to a wider audience and get students comfortable with performing new material publicly. “When we did a Field Days performance for Happy Days last year, not a lot of people knew Happy Days was a musical,” she said. “A member of the crowd came up and said ‘I wasn’t going to see it, but I will now’. “It definitely creates an opportunity for the kids to put on a display of their abilities and what they’re capable of doing. “It’s a bit of advertising for the school as well, but for us it’s an opportunity for our kids to perform. “The more opportunities they get to perform, the better – this is what they want to do and they’re involved in performing arts for a reason.” Horsham College announced the cast for School of Rock two weeks

ROCKING OUT: Horsham College students are preparing for a production of the musical School of Rock. Getting ready to rock the school are, from back left, Shae Garwood, Brodie Chequer, Emilee Jones-Pritchard, Thomas Naylor, Oscar O’Brien, Josie Thomas and Liam Robertson; and front, Claudia Lopez-O’Donnell, Malachy O’Brien, Hallie Burgess, Tiani Grosser and Sienna Walsgott. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER ago, with Liam Robertson and Oscar O’Brien sharing the lead male role of Dewey, while year 12 student Josie Thomas has been cast as the female lead, Ms Mullins. “The role of Dewey is an extremely full-on role and for both of the boys, around the time of the school production, they will hopefully be going for auditions for higher education next year,” Ms Friedrichsen said. “To look after them they have agreed

to share the role so they don’t kill their voices before the main audition.” Robertson said preview performances gave the cast a valuable opportunity to see how audiences responded. “I think it gives us a rough understanding of what the actual show is going to be like for us,” he said. “It’s like another big rehearsal, but with an audience, so you get to work off the audience and see how they react to what you do and be able to

change that for the actual big performance. “I think it’s a really good way to overcome nerves so you’re used to them by the time you’re on stage.” Thomas said she was ecstatic to be cast in a lead role for the first time. “I was so excited when I found out, especially because it will be my last year doing productions – I’ve done them since year seven,” she said. “I know what they’re all about and

– Emily Friedrichsen

I love doing them so much, so finding out that I got a lead role is really exciting. “I think School of Rock is a great musical. “I love it because it’s new and modern and it’s a lot of fun.” The musical is based on a 2003 film of the same name, with music written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Ms Friedrichsen said the students would perform three numbers – an a cappella performance by Robertson and O’Brien, a solo by Thomas and a song by the student ensemble – during Field Days. She encouraged attendees to check out the performances and stop to sample the college’s other offerings, such as food prepared by VET hospitality students. • The Horsham College Student Showcase includes textile students modeling their garments and showcasing their latest creations, from 2pm each day in the Field Days Auditorium.

That’s the assessment of Uniting Wimmera acting executive officer Josh Koenig. “As well as the impact from drought, stagnated wages for people on low incomes and the increased cost of living can put a lot of people in vulnerable positions,” he said. “The Wimmera Machinery Field Days is a great opportunity for people to come together socially, talk about shared experiences and support each other, but it’s also important to know there is extra support available through Uniting.” Mr Koenig encouraged people to get in touch with Uniting Wimmera before their situation worsened. “We encourage people not to delay reaching out for support, getting help early can make a world of difference,” he said. “Our community often thinks that others are worse off than them, or maybe feel a little intimidated to walk in the door. “But we want to reinforce that we don’t judge and you won’t be turned away. “Getting the support you need is easy and quick, and everyone is welcomed and supported. “Coming in to our office isn’t the only option, people can call our 1800 number or log a request for help on our website.” Mr Koenig said Wimmera people can bene-

fit from the many support services available to them through Uniting. “Our wrap-around services look at multiple factors and issues that can affect people in our community – such as financial hardship, substance abuse, access to education and mental-health concerns,” he said. “We also work alongside other local service providers, so if we are not able to provide the support people need, we can help them through the process of accessing services that can. There is no wrong door. “We provide emergency relief, family support, mental health support services as well as a range of other supports and programs to help families and individuals get back on their feet.” Uniting is urging people in the Wimmera to get in touch. For general information, people can call 5362 4000 or call an intake service line on 1800 195 114 for support and advice.

location at the opposite end of the site – the A 38-47 block in the north-west corner. It is one of several businesses changing locations for the 2019 Field Days. Field Days manager Murray Wilson said many long-term major machinery exhibitors were changing locations and expanding into different areas this year. “It gives the site a fresh feel and ensures our agricultural showcase remains vibrant and relevant,” he said.

Goldacres will return with its own dedicated company site on the eastern side of the Field Days complex. Wilson Bolton will be at a new central site opposite the Field Days office and Gason has also moved to a central location. Traction Ag and AGCO have nearly doubled the size of their 2018 site and will be located at the A 62-76 block at the northwest corner of the site.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days special edition

New to the market this year BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

orsham inventor Brian Hedt has proof that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

Mr Hedt debuted a new product, entitled the Outback Wrap, to help farmers easily identify multiple pairs of hydraulic hoses on farm machinery, in September. Despite only being available for a few months, Mr Hedt said the wraps were a long time in the making. “This idea has been around on my farm for 15 or 20 years and my son has been pressing me to patent it,” he said. “In the end I handballed it to him and said ‘you can do it’.” Mr Hedt and his son David have successfully launched the product in markets around the world, including in North and South America, Europe and Australasia. He said the key to the Outback Wrap’s success was its simplicity. The wraps are placed at each end of a hose and are designed to last for 10 years or more. “This product solves the age-old problem of hooking your hydraulics back up to your tractor after you’ve had the machine standing in the shed for a few months and you’ve forgotten which hose belongs to which coupling on the tractor,” Mr Hedt said. “It’s in universal colours common to every modern tractor. “They are colour-coded, numbered and lettered so the sequence is very

logical, and they are also in pairs with one shorter than the other, so there are visual size differences.” Horsham Hydraulics will unveil the wraps as a new product at next week’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days. Horsham Hydraulics is one of nearly 30 businesses unveiling new products at the showcase. Naracoorte’s Schinckel Hayrakes will also debut the innovative Opener series of rakes. The Opener is a V-shaped rake mounted to the front of a tractor that makes the process of hay baling more efficient. The front rake pushes material out

of the way of the tractor so cut hay is not run over and a trailing rake forms it into a single row. Lake Bolac’s CLAAS Harvest Centre has announced it will give Field Days attendees a look at the new ZG-TS 10001 fertilizer spreader by Amazone. Amazone describes the ZG-TS as a ‘high-capacity large area spreader for the quick and precise application of mineral fertilisers’. It features precise accuracy thanks to an integrated boundary spreading system. A new technology known as WindControl allows automated adjustment

of lateral distribution, according to wind speed and direction. Other exhibitors with new products to display at Wimmera Machinery Field Days include: ACE Machinery House; Ag Gear; AgriChain; Coolamon Chaser Bins; Davo’s Fencing Clip; Eye Muffs; Farmers Edge; FarmNexus; Gason; GrainRite Augers; Grizzly; Jetwave Industrial Equipment; Manutec; Marxgold Starting Solutions; Morrow Motor Group; Norton Livestock Handling Solutions; Ozvalue Ag Machinery; PB Seeds; Precision Control Australia; Scania Australia; Silo Upgrades; Tank Spinner; UTF Australia; and Vennings.

Keep mobile

he sheer size of the Wimmera Machinery Field Days site is daunting for some, especially people with limited mobility.

Each year, patrons to the Field Days can access the free ‘Site Explorer Bus’, transport that gives them the option to simply ‘hop on and hop off’ at different locations across the site. Field Days manager Murray Wilson encouraged people to use the free service, which would run every day of the field days. Mr Wilson said scooter hire was also available, at gate two. He said people wanting to book a scooter should call 0428 694 335. Mr Wilson said the Field Days committee also operated a free courier service for purchased goods. “Use the free courier and parcel pick-up service to help with all your bigger purchases,” he said. “Your item can be picked up from a site and taken to the depot for you to collect later on when you are ready to head home.”

Community site

urplus revenue collected from operating the Wimmera Machinery Field Days each year is used to fund and cover costs of operating the event each year.

Operating surplus is also reinvested back into the Wimmera Events Centre site. It enables the site to continue to be improved for a wide variety of events throughout the year.

George back to entertain

ustralia’s best-loved farming character, George the Farmer, will return to the Wimmera for two fun, educational shows.

George the Farmer made his debut at Wimmera Machinery Field Days last year and the popular entertainer will return to the stage during Wednesday’s ‘family day’. George will host two shows in the Field Days Auditorium, at 10am and 12.30pm, with an opportunity for meet and greet sessions after each show. George is playing an important role in educating children about farming practices, along with how food and fibre – natural fabrics – are produced. George will also take a stroll around the Field Days site, checking out all the farming gear. Be sure to watch out for George and say g’day.

Police members up for chat BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

A different perspective

The unit will set up a mobile command centre at the Field Days site, offering members of the public an insight into the operations of Victoria Police. Proactive Policing Unit Acting Senior Sergeant Simon Grant said officers would provide useful information on a range of issues to people at the Field Days. “We’ll have information about crime prevention, we’ll also have a divisional firearms officer talking about correct storage and handling of firearms,” he said. “That’s quite topical at the moment seeing there have been firearms stolen from rural properties across the state. “If people have any questions about firearm storage and licencing, we’ll be more than happy to field those enquiries. “I’m also the divisional agricultural liaison officer, so I’ll be there in that role. “My specialty is in livestock theft and rural crime. “I’m from a farming background and I have relationships within the industry, so I’ll be able to talk about that.”

The Field Days has partnered with Ultimate Helicopters from Horsham and Grampians Helicopters from Stawell to take visitor experiences to a new level. Field Days manager Murray Wilson said one of the key outcomes of the event was the opportunity to provide something different. “A helicopter flight to see the Field Days from the air will provide a unique experience for visitors as part of our event,” he said. Newly established Horsham-based Ultimate Helicopters will operate each day of the Field Days, including during the new ‘Twilight Expo’ on Tuesday evening. Mr Wilson said Ultimate Helicopters looked forward to providing five, 10 and 15-minute joy flights, starting from $60 a person. “This is a great Field Days special price,” he said. “This will be an amazing opportunity for patrons to see just how big and impressive the Field Days site is from the air, and it will certainly give people the chance for a unique view of the Field Days site in its entirety. “We expect it to be an exciting and popular feature of the Field Days this year.” Helicopter joy flights will operate each day from the east side of the Field Days site.

isitors to Wimmera Machinery Fields Days have the opportunity to get above the crowd and see firsthand the multi-million dollar agricultural machinery display that defines the three-day event.

embers of the Wimmera Proactive Policing Unit will engage with the community and provide information at next week’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

PROACTIVE: Leading Senior Constable Toni Chegwin and Proactive Policing Unit Acting Senior Sergeant Simon Grant are looking forward to next week’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days. Sgt Grant said police would also be able to educate people on the merits of proactive policing. “The Proactive Policing Unit servicing the Wimmera is to proactively engage with the community to prevent crime and to deal with any concerns of the community,” he said. “We’ll be out and about in the community and in schools on a regular basis, working for a positive community safety result.

“We’ll have our youth-resource officer and our youth-specialist officer who deal with proactive engagement with kids at schools. “The youth-specialist role is a new one, and he’ll be liaising with kids who have been involved with police and are at risk of re-offending. “His task is to stop that cycle of that process and provide intervention and referral pathways so the kids don’t continue on that path.” Sgt Grant said people could visit

police at the mobile command centre or approach them at the Field Days site. “We’d like to see as many people come visit our truck as we can. It’s a good opportunity to come have a yarn and ask a question,” he said. “We’ll be walking around the Field Days as well, so I’d encourage people to stop and talk with us – that’s what we’re there for.”

SHOWCASE: McIntosh and Son’s southern branches dealer principal Devon Gilmour and Katanning performance manager Craig Dennis showcase a rear hatch with new vertical iHSD, which can be removed, effectively creating a harvest windrow to easily check grain losses and calibrate a grain loss monitor.

Farming’s new ‘big thing’ pulls a crowd W

hen a crowd of about 200 people, including growers from interstate, turns up to an equipment demonstration in early February, you know it has become one of the latest ‘big things’ in farming.

And that ‘big thing’ will make its way to the Wimmera Machinery Field Days next week. Johnny Inferrera, from McIntosh, will be on site to showcase the latest developments to one of the popular harvester-integrated systems that is now available at about half the price of its predecessor. The new vertical, mechanical-drive version of the Integrated Harrington Seed Destructor, iHSD, was successfully put through its paces for growers fitted to a New Holland CR 9.90 header in some standing crop left after harvest on a property near Broomehill in Western Australia. Invented by WA grower Ray Harrington and developed by UniSA with investment from GRDC, the iHSD has undergone continuing development by SKF Engineering and DeBruin Engineering, together with national distributor, McIntosh Distribution. The new vertical, mechanical unit uses the same mill set as the hydraulic version, which has consistently been driven at 3000 RPM and achieved up to 99 percent kill rates of targeted weed seeds. Mr Inferrera said farmers and those who had travelled west with South Australian dealer Ramsey Bros were impressed with the workings

of the new vertical iHSD. “Many growers have been aware of the technology and waiting for improved reliability and affordability – and they liked what they saw,’’ he said. “The price point of $85,000 plus GST and fitting costs is a big attraction. “People were also impressed with the simplicity.’’ Another key feature is the ability to bypass the vertical iHSD and easily check grain losses and calibrate a grain loss monitor by removing a hatch and effectively creating a harvest windrow. The new design also includes a trap door that collects any foreign material coming into the system. The demonstration followed the successful testing of eight vertical units in some bulky crops during the WA harvest fitted to a range of header brands with various capacities, including a John Deere S680 and New Holland CR 10.90 with twin pitch rotor system, through to a New Holland CR970. For the 2019 grain harvest, a limited number of 100 of the vertical, mechanical iHSD have been allocated for Australian growers. For further information on the new vertical, mechanical iHSD and its role in reducing herbicide resistance and improving returns from cropping investment, growers can contact their iHSD dealer. – Contributed

Wimmera Machinery Field Days 2019

When Simon Schinckel of Schinckel Hayrakes in Naracoorte, South Australia, was travelling to and from the Southern Field Days in September-October last year delivering his much sort after ‘The Next F Series’ V Rake, he took particular note that so many crops had been cut down with 30-40 foot header fronts or large windrowers. He knew that the crops had to be cut because of the very poor seasonal conditions that every farmer can relate to. What he noticed in particular, was the distance the two rows had been left apart for raking together before the baling was to be done. With the two rows varying anything from 3-4ft apart to 6-8ft apart, he could visualise that there was going to be a big issue as far as raking was concerned. Simon has been in the hayrake industry for more than 27 years. He could easily see that driving a tractor down these rows with any type of hayrake behind wasn’t going to work very satisfactorily, as the tractor would be running on both rows of material and packing it back down on the ground, making it difficult to rake cleanly and knocking leaf et cetera off their prized hay. Straddling one row with a tractor and rake wasn’t an option, so people had to revert to using an inline rake, which doesn’t produce a nice, evenly shaped windrow like a V Rake does for better baling. So, Simon put his thinking cap on and started scratching his head again – as he did 12 months ago when he designed his ‘Next F Series’ Hayrake. He came up with a unique and very simple system that is mounted to the front of the tractor. When a crop of hay is cut down with a 3040ft header front or a large windrower and the rows are left close together – or if using a 10-13ft mower conditioner which leaves its product in a wide spread out windrow for faster curing – then the front mounted rake rakes the material away from each side of the path of the tractor, while a V Rake towed behind the tractor rakes the material together into one row – a perfect windrow with everything raked is achieved and no damage has been done to the hay. This system works extremely well as the tractor is running on clean ground. Having done working demonstrations from Heywood in Victoria to Kybybolite, South Australia, and across to Glenthompson and

Ballarat, everyone who has seen the machine working has been most impressed. Demonstrations have been done in different conditions – material has been tedded, hay has been cut with disc mowers and left out in a flat swath, mower conditioner rows and lots of regrowth. Another advantage of this machine is that it can be used for turning two rows of hay at once that have become wet. Turning hay is a very slow and arduous task and with the use of this machine, labour, fuel and machine costs can be cut in half. This operation can also be achieved by towing the machine with a four-wheel drive ute. The ‘OPENER Series’ can be made to fit to the front of the tractor in three different ways. 1. Fitted to the front end loader arms as long as they are EURO Style quick release. 2. Bolted to the front counter weight with an easy designed A-frame system for easy hook up and disconnection. 3. Front linkage arms. Plans are already on the drawing board to have a machine that can turn two, 15-16ft wet windrows at once. There is going to be heaps of potential for a machine like this on the Australian market, which comes with a worldwide patent pending application attached to it. It has been manufactured with all standard components off the Schinckel Hayrake shelf. It uses four reels per side, has a castor wheel on each raking arm and a dual castor in the front centre pivot. Hydraulic lift to each raking arm is standard equipment, however, a hose has to be brought to the front from the rear of the tractor. A set of removable wheels on an axle at the back of the machine will be fitted so the machine can be towed away from field day sites, picked up from Naracoorte or trucked out. A tow bar will be fitted to the front and tail lights at the rear will be supplied.

The most asked question about the new ‘OPENER Series’ Hayrake is: “Why hasn’t this been made before?” The answer: “Because quite often the obvious things are usually overlooked.”

support group dedicated to helping people understand prostate cancer is urging the community to seek members out for help and advice.

Wimmera Prostate Cancer Support Group plans to strongly promote its support program this year, including at the Wimmera Machinery Field Days. Group leader Brian Nagorcka said the group formed two and a half years ago based on members’ individual experiences with prostate cancer. “When I had my own journey with prostate cancer and treatment, not knowing whom to talk to about what to do or where to go, there was a realisation there needed to be someone, or a group, where a person could get support,” he said. “Through talking with a district prostate nurse from Ballarat, we had a meeting and formed a group.”

Wimmera Prostate Cancer support Group has lunch meetings from noon on the fourth Wednesday of each month at Horsham RSL and often has speakers talking on a variety of subjects at its meetings. The group is affiliated with Prostate Cancer Foundation and Cancer Council of Victoria, and representatives from both will join group members and prostate cancer district nurse Gay Corbett at next week’s Field Days. Mr Nagorcka said people who attended group meetings were affected by prostate cancer, whether as individuals fighting the disease or as wives or partners.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days 2019

Wimmera Machinery Field Days special edition

Active CFA site

ountry Fire Authority will continue its tradition of having a site at Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

This year’s theme will be around residential fire safety, financial resilience and emergency management. The authority and Good Shephard Micro Finance have teamed up to promote the importance of financial resilience. The theme is in response to findings that although people often have emergency plans for fires and other events, they rarely consider their financial circumstances. With a $2-billion cost of the 2011 Victorian floods, $30-million in costs for 2015-2016 storms and with more than 3000 house fires across Victoria in 2018, it is important that everyone is prepared. Having problems with your smoke alarm or your home fire safety plan? The CFA can help with that as well. The Field Days provide a chance for people to also find out about the many volunteer roles in the CFA. The organisation can offer much more than a role in fighting fires. Members describe today’s environment as ‘an exciting time to join CFA’. Volunteers continue to play a key role in helping the CFA achieve its mission of protecting Victorian lives and property. As one of the world’s largest volunteer-based emergency services organisations, CFA has a commitment to provide a modern and effective operation in which volunteers are valued and respected. Situated in the Moore Pavilion at Wimmera Events Centre during the field days, the CFA site will offer information for the public and

its members. Information on smoke alarms will also be available. Issues covered include – • Replacing expired smoke alarms with a new smoke alarm powered by a 10-year long-life lithium battery. • Only working smoke alarms save lives. • More than a third of Victorians have never replaced their smoke alarm. Is it time you replaced yours? • Smoke alarms need to be replaced every 10 years, regardless of the type. • A need to install a smoke alarm outside the sleeping areas and on every level of a home. • A need to install an extra smoke alarm inside bedrooms if people sleep with their door closed. • Fire services recommend that homes be fitted with Australian Standards-approved photo-electric smoke alarms powered by a 10-year lithium battery. • Fire services recommend smoke alarms be interconnected so that if one activates, they all do. • For rental properties, it is the tenant’s responsibility to regularly test the smoke alarm and report faults to the landlord. Landlords are responsible for fitting and maintaining smoke alarms – including changing batteries. • Public housing tenants need to regularly test their smoke alarms and report any issues to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Housing on 1300 650 172. Public housing tenants should never attempt to replace their smoke alarm batteries. • Smoke alarms are also available for the hearing impaired. These feature a flashing strobe light and vibrating pad that can be placed under the pillow. Information on these is available from Vicdeaf.

ACE support for Field Days

CE Radio Broadcasters, through radio stations 3WM, MIXX FM and The Weekly Advertiser are continuing their strong connection with Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

The stations and newspaper will again have strong presence during all three days at Wimmera Events Centre and set up headquarters near the event’s main administration building. Radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM will comprehen-

sively cover the iconic Wimmera event with a variety of interviews and crosses on both stations. The radio presence at the field days has become a long-standing tradition, providing patrons with day-to-day information and updates on all that is happening. ACE Horsham’s radio content director Emma Elsom said everyone at the station looked forward to being part of the Field Days. “We absolutely love being out there. I’m personally on

site every year broadcasting. It’s one of the big annual events for us and most announcers make it out there at some point to engage with listeners,” she said. “It’s great to do the interviews, to meet exhibitors who come from far and wide and also the school kids and locals who come up to our broadcast site for a chat.” The Weekly Advertiser, as part of ACE, is also a strong supporter of the Field Days and representatives will join radio staff at the event.

New-look Ag Vic stand H

orsham’s Agriculture Victoria team has a new home at this year’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days, joining other regional agribusinesses and services in the Field Days Agri Marquee.

Just inside the door of the marquee, visitors can talk to staff about the latest grains research, plant diseases, animal health, managing dry conditions, the Australian Grains Genebank, how to apply for a Property Identification Code and more. Grains Innovation Park site leader and Agriculture Victoria research director Traci Griffin said Wimmera Machinery Field Days provided a great opportunity for Agriculture Victoria to showcase the latest research and new technologies relevant to the Wimmera. “The Field Days also provide an important opportunity for farmers to talk directly to Agriculture Victoria staff to gain a better understanding of what is happening and how it could apply to this season,” she said. Agriculture Victoria’s dry seasonal conditions co-ordinator for the northwest, Rob O’Shannessy, will be on hand with information about support and assistance for farmers navigating dry conditions. Agrihealth professionals from the National Centre for Farm Health will join Mr O’Shannessy, who will lead free farmer health checks. Taking just 20 minutes, the farmer health assessments include a lifestyle

survey covering health behaviours, farm practices and social and emotional wellbeing. Participants will also have their cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, body-mass index and diabetes risk measured, and their eyesight tested. They can also discuss cholinesterase testing. There will be information about workshops coming up in the region addressing stubble management, soils, weed control and other issues, and copies available of the ‘hot-offthe-press’ 2019 cereal and pulse disease guides. Staff members from the Australian Grains Genebank in Horsham will bring the Genebank to life, revealing what goes on inside and presenting some of the genetic material stored there – even some of the ‘wild relatives’ researchers are looking to in a bid to improve diversity in crop varieties. Adding to the display will be some of the high-tech equipment, such as drones and infra-red sensors, that are being used by Agriculture Victoria researchers to ensure new varieties and farming practices can be adopted by farmers faster. Agriculture Victoria land-management extension officers are keen to hear from farmers and service providers at the Field Days, who are welcome to drop by the stand and share their suggestions about information, events or workshops they would like in the region.

Snakes alive

hey are back! The world’s deadliest snakes are returning to Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

The team from Black Snake Productions will host live ‘venomous’ snake shows daily at 10am, 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm, allowing patrons to get up close to some of the world’s deadliest snakes. People can touch and hold a ‘big, friendly python’, or a native lizard. See how sharp a baby crocodiles teeth really are, and view displays of other amazing reptiles. Professional handlers will provide demonstrations and informative talks on handling and care, snake-bite advice and other tips when stumbling across snakes in the wild.

Fashion show

n 2018, the Wimmera Machinery Field Days hosted its first ‘kids only’ fashion parade.

INFORMATION: Staff members will be on hand to provide information at Agriculture Victoria’s stand at Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days special edition

Australian launch at Field Days A

ttendees at next week’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days will be among the first in Australia to view new Case IH Axial-Flow 250 Series harvesting technology.

The Axial-Flow 250 Series will be unveiled for the first time in the country by O’Connors Farm Machinery. The equipment is designed to usher in a new era in combine harvesting productivity. A feeder house redesign has increased feeder lift and feeder drive capacity, fore-aft feeder faceplate tilt and header height control. A new two-speed electric shift ground drive transmission provides higher tractive effort and grade-ability across a wider speed range. The feed-rate option has also been upgraded with the new transmission and will use ground drive pressure and engine load to determine the available power for crop processing. Other features include enclosed hydraulic-powered disc brakes, new front axle and final drives, electronic diff lock control and scalable MFH speed control. O’Connors chief executive Gareth Webb said the launch was a big moment for the company. “We’re very excited to be hosting the Australian launch of the Axial-Flow 250 Series,” he said. “Case IH is continually pushing the boundaries of innovation and we’re looking forward to showing customers

how this can deliver enhanced productivity and efficiency for their farming operations.” Field Days patrons will also be able to check out some unique changes to the Axial-Flow 150 Series, which has its origins in Australia. A limited-edition Case IH Axial-Flow 150 Series combine will soon be available on the Australian market and is debuting at the Field Days. The combine features a heritage-inspired paint scheme with the traditional IH white roof and rims as well as side-panel decals reminiscent of the first Axial-Flow, introduced in Australia more than 40 years ago. Case IH hay and harvest product manager Tim Slater said the heritage elements of the limited-edition 150

FIRST LOOK: O’Connors will launch the Case IH Axial-Flow 250 Series in Australia at Wimmera Machinery Field Days next week. Series were sure to be a hit with consumers. “We had an idea to pay tribute to our proud history and present an AxialFlow in the 40th anniversary colours at AgQuip 2017, and it got a great response from visitors to the Case IH site,” he said. “The uptake on social media and the feedback it created was amazing.

“This extended especially to North America where the social-media interest really took off once the photos of it at AgQuip started to circulate. “So, due to such strong interest it was thrown out there as a global idea and now it’s being rolled out on combines in the US and here.” The unveiling of the Axial-Flow 250 Series and limited-edition 150 Series

will be on Tuesday, coinciding with the Field Days’ inaugural twilight session. Visitors to the O’Connors site, J 1-15, will be able to view the new machines throughout the event and Case IH and O’Connors staff will be available to discuss patrons’ machinery needs.

United to face challenges

n opportunity to learnmore about the effects of drugs and alcohol presents itself at the Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

Headspace Horsham will attend the Wimmera Machinery Field Days as part of the Wimmera Drug Action Taskforce on Wednesday next week. Wimmera Drug Action Taskforce is a network of agencies and community members in the Wimmera that provides prevention and early intervention strategies to reduce the harms caused by alcohol and drugs. Headspace Horsham’s youth

engagement and community development co-ordinator Louise Barnett is encouraging visitors to have a chat with the team and learn more about the Wimmera Drug Action Taskforce and other services delivered by headspace Horsham. “At headspace we have a range of services that help young people aged 12 to 25 years,” she said. “We cover issues such as relationships, drugs and alcohol, mental health, bullying, anxiety, depression, bad thoughts and uncertainty about future plans. “If we don’t offer the service a young person or their family

needs, we can help to link them in to a provider that does. “This year our involvement with the Wimmera Drug Action Task Force at the field days enables us to have a particular focus on issues around drug and alcohol use. “Headspace Horsham will have hand-outs for visitors to take home that cover the effects of alcohol and other drugs on a young persons mental and physical health, as well as how to stay safe, what to do in emergency situations and how to get help for yourself, a friend or a loved one.” Ms Barnett said the Wimmera

Machinery Field Days was a great opportunity to engage with the rural community in an informal way, provide helpful information and continue to reduce the stigma of mental illness. “As a community, we have been going through some tough times, and in tight-knit rural areas, issues can impact a larger pool of people, including young people,” she said. “We want young people to know that support is always available, and anyone is welcome through our doors. “Look for us on the Wednesday between 8.30am and 1pm and come and say hi.”

BCG trials up for discussion B

BY KELLY ANGEL BIRCHIP CROPPING GROUP

irchip Cropping Group members had the opportunity to hear results from a range of 2018 research trials at an annual BCG Trials Review Day.

The day attracted people from across the Wimmera, Mallee, North Central and beyond. Invited presenters and BCG researchers presented on topics covering pulse, cereal and canola variety performance, the status of insecticide resistance, managing early-sown wheat, getting the best from plant establishment, climate update and results. BCG research and extension officer Genevieve Clarke shared results from trials investigating early sowing of winter wheat varieties. Ms Clarke said research from two years of trials – 2017 and 2018 – revealed two vastly different seasons. “If considering sowing wheat early, it is important not only to understand your stored soil-moisture levels but also the rains received in that early break,” she said. “Ten millimetres might not be enough moisture at sowing to establish a crop early, particularly on heavy soil types.” In his presentation, BCG’s Cameron Taylor urged growers to think strategically about canola sowing dates to get the most out of the variety chosen and to mitigate risks such as frost damage or moisture stress. “During the past four years, fast to mid-fast developing varieties have been best suited

to Mallee and Wimmera environments when sown at the correct time to ensure flowering in the optimal window,” he said. BCG research staff members have been selecting research sites for 2019, including a main research site on the Sunraysia Highway, about five kilometres west of Birchip. They are yet to determine a core Wimmera research site. The site-selection process entails finding out about paddock history, including herbicide history to understand residual risks, weed type and pressure, soil type, rotation history and planned crop type around trial site, for the current year. BCG is again offering a soil-sampling service, which is about to get underway. Soil sampling allows inputs to be more accurately managed. Given the poor performance of crops in many regions, there might be some applications of fertiliser last season that have gone unused. Soil sampling allows for a better understanding of the soil profile, including moisture and nutrition location, thus leading to informed decision-making throughout the year. If this service could benefit your business, or you would like more information, call the BCG office on 5492 2787 to book in your paddocks. BCG will be at the Wimmera Machinery Field Days and invite patrons to visit team members at a RuralBank tent.

Premier event on the calendar E very year I look forward to the Wimmera Machinery Field Days, the premier agricultural event for our region.

This event attracts thousands of visitors from across Australia to learn about advances in agriculture, buy new machinery and equipment or catch up with family and friends. My sincere thanks to the Wimmera Machinery Field Days committee, led by president Peter Moore, for their tireless efforts and hard work in organising such an important event for our local region. It has been a year of mixed results for our local farmers, with

dry conditions across most of our region resulting in varying harvest yields. A positive has been good prices for most grains and stock prices remaining strong. The Nationals have been standing up for country communities for more than 100 years. As a member of the Nationals team, I am committed to working hard to ensure local voices and the issues that matter most to our region and country Victoria are heard in Parliament. The Wimmera has fantastic grain and oilseed research and development programs and I will continue to support our

region as the centre of excellence in agricultural research, training and education. The ongoing deterioration of roads across western Victoria continues to be a major concern. I will continue my relentless advocacy to ensure we receive our fair share of roads funding and see our local roads returned to a safe standard. I look forward to seeing you at the Field Days and invite you to share any great ideas or concerns you might have with me at the Nationals stand located inside the Moore Pavilion.

EPA issues a stern warning E

nvironment Protection Authority Victoria says a hefty fine issued over a burning pile of farm waste in south-west Victoria is a warning to all rural landholders.

EPA Victoria north-west region manager Dr Scott Pigdon said a fire cost a dairy company more than $8000 after EPA officers found the pile, containing plastic, wire, soil and hay, still burning when they arrived. “The pile also included a 20-litre plastic chemical drum, fence posts, ash and bailing twine. It was industrial waste and should have been taken for proper disposal,” he said. EPA issued the company with a fine of $8060 for permitting the discard of industrial waste through burning, a breach of Section 27 of the Environment Protection Act. The burning pile was about four metres square and 1.8 metres high, with grey smoke and flames visible when EPA’s officers arrived. They were told the fire had started through spontaneous combustion several days before. A company representative told EPA the local CFA brigade had been called to fight a similar spontaneous fire in a pile of waste at the farm 12 months earlier. “Getting rid of mixed piles of farm waste by burning them might have been

the practice of previous generations, but it is now recognised that it creates a significant risk to the environment and can impact people’s health,” Dr Pigdon said. “Materials like these should go to recycling or an appropriate landfill. “The company has now introduced a waste management process to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future. “Discarding industrial waste in such a way can cause land pollution and groundwater contamination that affect future generations.” EPA issued a legally enforceable Clean Up Notice requiring the company to remove the remaining waste for proper disposal. “This is another case where a report from a member of the public made all the difference,” Dr Pigdon said. “EPA officers were able to respond while the fire was still burning and ensure it was extinguished promptly, helping to reduce the amount of damage done to the environment. “Under the Environment Protection Act 1970 and the Infringements Act 2008, the company had the right to have the decision to issue the infringement notice reviewed or alternatively to have the matter heard and determined by a court.” People can report all types of pollution to the EPA 24-hour hotline on 1300 EPA VIC – 1300 372 842 – or at the EPA website www.epa.vic.gov.au.

Future Drought Fund passed

ederal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud has welcomed a Coalition win in getting a $100-million-a-year Future Drought Fund passed in the House of Representatives.

Mr Littleproud, who introduced himself to Victorian farmers during a visit to Wimmera Machinery Field Days in 2018, said the move was an important achievement in providing broad farming security. But he was scathing of the federal opposition, which voted against the move. “The Labor Party reached a new

low last week trying to politicise the plight of Australian farmers,” he said. “I’m so proud we’ve managed to get the Future Drought Fund through the House of Representatives. “The Future Drought Fund would deliver $100-million a year for drought preparedness, resilience and climate adaptation for farmers – a dividend from $3.9-billion set aside to keep generating that money, which will grow to $5-billion by 2028.” Mr Littleproud accused Labor of declaring its opposition of the fund so it could spend the money

in city electorates. “Labor wants to take country money and give it to the cities,” he said. “All Labor could offer was a ‘rolled gold promise’ of four years of dividends at the discretion of a Labor treasurer. “The Coalition is legislating the dividend so it can’t be touched. “Labor smiles at farmers while it stabs them in the back. “I’m determined to deliver the Drought Future Fund and the $100-million-a-year it will provide to farming families and their regional communities and I will fight Labor tooth and nail on this.”

Littleproud: Extend holiday visas M inister for Agriculture David Littleproud has savaged a plan to cut working holiday visas from two years to one, while Australian farmers battle a farm labour shortage.

“There aren’t enough willing workers to pick our farmer’s fruit and vegetables – but Labor’s unions want to effectively halve the number of backpacker workers available,” he said. “If this plan becomes reality then our fruit and vegetables won’t get to the city supermarkets – they’ll rot in the fields with nobody to pick them. “I’ve heard a lot of stupid things in the two years I’ve been in politics but stopping fresh produce from getting to the people tops the list. “Don’t these people realise we rely on back-

Volunteers wanted to progress show M

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

urtoa Show organisers are seeking more district residents to become involved to help preserve the show’s longterm future.

Murtoa A and P Society will host the first meeting for its 2019 show at Murtoa Recreation Reserve tonight at 7pm. President Tom McGrath said the dedication of volunteers had kept the show, which had been in Murtoa for more than 130 years, from vanishing last year. He said more volunteer committee members could ensure the show continued to thrive in the future. “The show was coming to a close last year before a crisis meeting,” he said. “We ended up with a really good committee, we put on a really good show and are going around again for 2019. “There’s no reason to see it folding at any stage in the future.” Mr McGrath encouraged people in the Murtoa area to volunteer their time and said events such as the show were vital parts of the social fabric of the town. “To volunteer for your community is a very rewarding service, both for yourself and your community,” he said. “It’s so important in rural and regional areas to have volunteers. They very much go unnoticed, but they make these events happen.”

Wimmera Machinery Field Days 2019

Mr McGrath said the society had about 12 committee members but was always on the lookout for more people to lend a hand. He said anyone interested in helping could commit as much as they desired. “There are committee members that just get involved on the day and committee members that are present at each meeting,” he said. “There is a lot going on in the lead-up to show day, so the more we have the merrier – you can never have too many helpers. “We’ll be discussing every role at the meeting tonight, right from the president’s role to the general helping hand on the day. “We’re hoping to have some key positions filled at the meeting.” Mr McGrath said tonight’s meeting was open for anyone wishing to attend. “We’re a very friendly and all-inclusive group of community-minded people, so we’re welcoming anyone that is interested in becoming a committee member or anyone just coming along to see the process of how a meeting is conducted,” he said. “People are more than welcome to just sit back and be involved that way. “We’re welcoming anyone and everyone that would like to come along and wants to be part of making a positive change within the community and support local organisations and events.” People wanting more information on tonight’s meeting can call Mr McGrath on 0427 858 225.

packers to pick fruit and vegetables in Australia?” Mr Littleproud said he met a young German man who’d been to Mildura picking fruit and loved the experience. “He would love to get another year in Australia and said he’d happily pick our fruit,” he said. “He had great enthusiasm and work ethic, and yet Labor wants to stop this guy picking our fruit while the fruit rots on the vine due to a lack of willing workers. “This shows how removed Labor is from real life. Any Labor person found outside a city is lost – give them directions. The Coalition is moving to get more workers for farmers, not less. “We’re extending backpacker visas from two to three years, not cutting them to one.”

New data to inform sowing programs G

rain growers across the nation are getting access to important new data to inform their crop variety choices for the 2019 season.

Harvesting of the extensive wintercrop variety trials through the Grains Research and Development Corporation’s National Variety Trials, NVT, program is now complete and data is being made available to Australia’s growers and their advisers. GRDC’s NVT acting senior manager Rob Wheeler said single-site results from successful trials in 2018 had been finalised and this data has been fed into multi-year, multi-environment trial, MET, variety performance analysis. “These multi-year, rolling data sets for all crops and growing regions will provide growers with the most valuable information to support their decision-making around what to sow this year,” he said. “Long-term MET results are the most accurate and reliable means of interpreting variety performance across sites and years.” Results and analysis can be viewed online at www.nvtonline.com.au. To further support growers and advisers, the GRDC has produced new instructional videos on how to interpret NVT data using the NVT website, and how to navigate NVT’s website. The videos can be viewed via the GRDC’s YouTube channel at http:// bit.ly/2W75A5U. Mr Wheeler said it was important

Grains Research and Development Corporation’s National Variety Trials acting senior manager Rob Wheeler.

that growers factor long-term analysis of trials into their variety selection considerations, rather than results from a single year. “This is especially important after a year such as 2018, where, in many regions, the season was far from normal.” Mr Wheeler said similar to the experiences of many growers in parts of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, some NVT trials were impacted by drought, frost, wind and other climatic events. “However, despite what was an incredibly tough season in some areas, the 2018 NVT program overall was

productive, with a great proportion of the trials generating valuable data that has now been published,” he said. Growers and advisers are encouraged to base their variety decisions on not just yield results but also market receival quality data. “Simply focusing on yield does not provide growers with a reliable indication of which varieties might potentially offer the best returns – the quality of the grain harvested is also an important factor,” Mr Wheeler said. Planning for the NVT program for 2019 is well underway, with the number of trials expected to be more than 600, as per previous years.

The largest co-ordinated field trial network of its kind in the world, NVT is a 100 percent GRDC investment that is fully administered by the GRDC on behalf of Australian grain growers and the Australian Government. A national program of comparative crop-variety testing with standardised trial management, data generation, collection and dissemination, NVT seeks to assist growers to optimise the profitability of their farming systems through choosing the most appropriate varieties for their growing environments. Mr Wheeler said NVT represented

a huge logistical undertaking given it evaluated varieties for the 10 major crop types – wheat, barley, canola, chickpea, faba bean, field pea, lentil, lupin, oat and sorghum – within hundreds of trials across the country. “About 2000 near-release or released varieties are evaluated each year, generating highly valuable comparisons for variety agronomic performance, grain yields, disease and pest resistance and physical grain quality traits,” he said. “NVT accepts lines into the program for testing two years prior to their commercial release. “This ensures sufficient data is available for growers on newly released varieties to make informed variety selection decisions.” Data analysis for NVT is conducted by a team of statisticians through the GRDC’s Statistics for the Australian Grains Industry, SAGI, program. Mr Wheeler said with 2018 NVT results reflecting what occurred across the country in terms of the variable season, some trial results were compromised by these conditions at a number of sites. “Data from those compromised trials is presented in a ‘quarantined’ report,” he said. “This report is published on the NVT online website to provide growers with a transparent account of the fate of unreleased but not abandoned NVT trials, however, the data is of no value for the purposes of head-to-head variety comparison.”

Rosellas providing insight into climate O

ne of the great privileges of living on or being able to visit farms in the Wimmera is the opportunity to get up close and personal with Australian wildlife.

From the region’s wide-open plains to the wetlands and mountain country, the Wimmera-Mallee is home to a variety of plants and animals. Matching the diversity of farming landscapes in the region is the diversity of native birds, ranging from brightly coloured parrots to raptors, waterfowl and the tiny and highly camouflaged species that occasionally dart across roads or between paddock stubble. The Wimmera – be it farmland, urban or park environments – is home to iconic rosellas, which rate among some of the most beautifully and diversely coloured birds in the world. It is these birds that have caught the attention of Deakin University researchers, who are suggesting the colour of the species is based on evolutionary process and climate. It is information that might help in conserving birds and monitoring and understanding implications of climatic change on natural environments. Anyone with a vague interest in birds would be aware of the difference between the eastern and crimson rosellas in the Wimmera. These birds vary from a deep crimson red to a pale yellow across south-eastern Australia, but until now scientists were unsure why.

Research published in the Journal of Biogeography shows habitat background and climate are major drivers of the colour variation. Paper co-author Dr Mathew Berg, from the Centre for Integrative Ecology in Deakin’s School of Life and Environmental Sciences, said the rosella’s colour variation was extreme for a single species. “For most birds, and many other animals, when they have orange, yellow or red colouration that is due to carotenoid pigments, which come from food, mostly fruits and vegetables,” he said. “But parrots have a completely different pigment system – psittacofulvins – found nowhere else in nature. “They don’t take it in through their diet, instead it’s thought to be produced in their feather follicles. “While we’ve long known how unique parrot coloration is, we haven’t known what function the colour fulfils or why it varies within or between species. And that’s unusual because parrots are some of the most colourful animals in the world.” Crimson rosellas are most common around coastal Victoria, New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland. Yellow rosellas typically inhabit drier areas along the Riverina in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. ‘Intermediate’ birds, which come in varying shades of orange, can be found in the Adelaide hills, as well as small pockets of Victoria and NSW.

INSIGHT: An eastern rosella pictured on the rural outskirts of Horsham. Picture: KELLY LAIRD

And then there are parts of the Wimmera, caught in the middle ground between all areas, where there seems to be a mix between crimson and traditional eastern colouration. The Deakin study is a test of ‘Gloger’s Rule’, a theory on observations that birds tend to be more darkly pigmented in humid habitats. Dr Berg said it is only due to rapid advances in technology that science was able to look at large sets of data

to consider possible factors in combination. “When we crunched the numbers we found rosellas’ colours seemed to be closely related to the colour of the vegetation of their habitat, links which might arise to help them be more camouflaged from predators or conversely to stand out to other members of the species,” he said. “Rain and temperature were also important factors. Areas with hot sum-

mer temperatures were the best predicator of where to find yellow birds, which could be because the lightest colours afforded the least heat stress, suggesting thermoregulation was also an important factor in coloration.” While Australia’s crimson rosella populations are abundant, Dr Berg said study findings could have important implications for the conservation of other parrot species, with about a third endangered or threatened by extinction. “Parrots are one of the most threatened groups of birds in the world, mostly due to habitat destruction, but also due to introduced species and trade for pets,” he said. “They play a pivotal role in our ecosystem, excavating hollows, pollinating plants and spreading seeds, but they have a big conservation problem. “Work like this increases our understanding of the habitat requirements of parrots, why they can live in some areas and not others. “Changes from habitat modification and climate change might affect where parrots are able to occur and where they’ll disappear from. “This research will help us predict when and where a species decline will happen and why. “We now hope to model different climate change scenarios and where the parrots might move to. For example, as Australia gets hotter and drier we might see numbers of yellow rosellas expand and replace some of the colour forms in other areas.”

VFF calls for new penalties

ictorian Farmers Federation is calling for increased investment in biosecurity monitoring at Australian borders and harsher penalties for people caught with prohibited animal and plant products.

VFF president David Jochinke said the call followed the recent detection of African swine fever and Foot and Mouth Disease in pork products declared and seized at Australian airports and mailing centres. “Australia’s national biosecurity is critical for our food, beverage and tourism sectors,” he said. “We have seen Foot and Mouth outbreaks in other countries and what it has done to their economies. “We know 283 illegal pork products were detected at the border in a two-

week period. Of these, 40 were infected with African swine fever and three with Foot and Mouth Disease. “We only need one infected product to go undetected to jeopardise our whole industry.” Mr Jochinke said more investment in federal and state biosecurity controls and greater deterrence through harsher penalties for deliberate breaches of import standards was needed. “We also need more education and tougher sanctions for travellers entering the country,” he said. “The current penalties are no more than a slap on the wrist. They are an insult to Australia’s food, beverage and tourism sectors when a Foot and Mouth outbreak could cost Australia close to $50-billion over 10 years.”

SUPPORTER: Blade shearer Bradley Keller will be at this year’s Blades of Glencoe Shearathon.

Shearing night for mental health

Fraser to lead grains group A

he 40th annual Victorian Farmers Federation Grains Group Conference this week marked the end of Ross Johns’ two-year term as group president.

Mr Johns, in the build-up to the conference, thanked growers that worked with and supported the grains group. “I firmly believe in the Victorian Farmers Federation. More than ever we must have a voice that advocates

for farmers,” he said. “I wish incoming president Ash Fraser, vice-president Craig Henderson and the new Grains Group Council all the best for the future. Our members can rest assured that they are in capable hands with the new leadership team.” Mr Fraser farms at Rutherglen in north-east Victoria, is managing director of Baker Seeds Co, and has been group vice-president for two years.

traditional demonstration of blade shearing in South Australia next month will help support people from droughtstricken rural communities, including in the Wimmera.

The Blades of Glencoe Shearathon will be at the historic Glencoe woolshed near Mount Gambier on March 10, featuring 30 men and 30 women shearing sheep with blade shears. The event will raise awareness

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

for mental health and suicide prevention. The shearathon was organised by Blade Shearing Heritage Foundation. President John Bade said the event aimed to help ‘create mentally healthy rural workplaces across Australia by reducing the stigma associated with mental health issues in rural communities’. The night before the shearathon there will be a gathering of people

from drought-affected rural communities to share their stories. On the night of the shearathon there will be musicians, bush poets and stalls to entertain attendees. People seeking more information about the shearathon can call Richie Foster on 0478 394 513 or Janine Midgley on 0456 780 494.
