Preferences important C

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

onfirmation of a Labor candidate for the federal seat of Mallee has opened the door for a greater diversity in choice as voters ponder the approaching May 21 election.

But Labor 11th-hour nomination Carole Hart has conceded that voter preferences would be critical in budging Mallee voters from four decades of Nationals representation. Ms Hart, who represented Labor in the last election, said she was confident of attracting a sound depth in primary votes and appealed to voters to think clearly about where they placed their preferences. She said she made no assumption about how votes would fall in May,

but conceded a victory would require ‘a lot of voter preferences’. She said her how-to-vote cards would be important and voters should stay tuned for more information. A Labor win for the seat would be an election sensation. Ms Hart would require more than a 15 percent twoparty swing for victory. Ms Hart, who stood as a Mallee candidate in 2019, received 15.7 percent of primary votes at the previous federal election, behind opposed Nationals and Liberal Party candidates after the retirement of former seat holder and Nationals member Andrew Broad. She received nearly 3000 votes less than Liberal candidate Serge Petrovich and was more than 11,000 behind the current Member for Mallee, Nationals’ Dr Anne Webster.

Liberal and National preference agreements kept Ms Hart to 16.5 percent. While she said she was aware the broader Wimmera remained a proven Nationals hunting ground despite a substantial urban population in a services-dominated Horsham, Ms Hart said she would not prioritise an urbanvoter campaign. “Whether it is Horsham or Swan Hill, I believe people are very aware of what the issues are,” she said. “Farming communities and urban communities are affected by similar issues. For example, staff shortages, housing and education issues go across the whole region.” Ms Hart said she represented a variety of people across Mallee. “There is not one type of person I

represent. I represent all of community,” she said. However, she said the Wimmera would be ‘one of my focusses’. Ms Hart urged Wimmera and Mallee voters to consider key points of her candidacy. “I am running because I have a strong social-justice principle. As rural Australians we really get left behind,” she said. She said the first step to equalising an urban-rural divide was to ensure young people had an opportunity to source housing and education. “Housing is another major issue. I know people coming into our communities have no rental or purchase options. When I was a young person in Maryborough, if you wanted to do many things you had to move to Mel-

bourne. It can sometimes be the same case today – but fortunately we have some really good universities. But for many young people, that remains the case, that they need to move from rural to urban to find employment.” Ms Hart said she had deepened her knowledge of key policy issues after her 2019 candidacy and it was always her priority to stand for election in Mallee again in 2022. “My candidacy announcement wasn’t last-minute. It has always been a priority, but there was a process to go through. It is not like an independent who can just put up their hand and say yes. You have to go through a process and a local branch,” she said.

Federal money for childcare centre

he Federal Government has committed $845,000 towards building a childcare centre in Murtoa.

The government confirmed funding for the project, which has generated considerable community debate. The new centre will provide 30 places for the combined Yarriambiack Shire Dunmunkle communities of Minyip, Murtoa and Rupanyup. It will be designed to improve early education for children and have a positive economic impact on the region.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster said with long wait times to secure places for day-care centres in the Wimmera, the Murtoa facility would fill an identified need. She said it would also provide more opportunities for skilled members of the community to work in their preferred field or preferred hours. Dr Webster has strongly advocated for the project in her first term in office. “I am thrilled to announce this funding for the Murtoa community,” she said.

“It means that families will be able to increase their household income and parents can more easily pursue their career ambitions”

– Anne Webster

“This will have an immeasurable impact for local families and will make a game-changing difference. “This funding means parents will be able to get into work, where they otherwise have not been able to. “It means that families will be able

to increase their household income and parents can more easily pursue their career ambitions. “Getting childcare centres into regional communities can be challenging, however fierce advocacy from the local community and the backing of the Nationals in government has allowed this feat to become a reality for Dunmunkle.” Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, who visited the electorate this week, said early childhood education provided a good start to life for young children and they should not miss

out just because they didn’t live in a capital city. “The Nationals can be trusted to represent and stand up for regional Australia,” he said. “We are committed to building regional Australia and growing essential services such as childcare in regional areas. “All Australian families deserve access to quality childcare, regardless of where they live. “Access to quality childcare is good for families, good for communities and good for local economies.”

Community push brings Yarriambiack reward

The occasion also included the unveiling of an Ararat Legacy ‘Reflection Seat’. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Legacy dedication in Ararat Member for Wannon Dan Tehan unveiled an Ararat Legacy ‘Reflection Seat’ as part of a dedication to Legatee and influential Ararat businessman the late Peter Carthew, AM, yesterday. He joined Christine Doak from Ararat Legacy and AME Systems managing director Peter Carthew and a variety of guests and officials for the dedication at Ararat Legacy Memorial Gardens. Ararat Legacy, in conjunction with Ararat manufacturing firm AME Systems, organised the occasion to formally recognise Mr Carthew’s contribution to Ararat district community. The event also recognised the 30th

year of the AME name with four 30-year employees unveiling a commemorative plaque. It also acknowledged Legacy’s Ararat and Stawell Laurel clubs. Peter Carthew, who founded multimillion-dollar Ararat firm AME Systems, died on December 26, 2019. A Vietnam War veteran, he was involved in many community and charity organisations and provided hundreds of jobs through his firm, which he proudly maintained in Ararat. AME Systems provides customised electrical ‘solutions’ for heavy transport, aerospace, defence, rail, agriculture and special-purpose vehicles and machinery. It employs a workforce of about

400 and has established a significant global reputation as a parts supplier in the aerospace and defence industries. Mr Tehan said Ararat Legacy Club was a ‘wonderful community’ organisation. “It helps build community spirit, while providing care, guidance and encouragement to the families of those servicemen and servicewomen who have fallen or are seriously injured,” he said. “The installation of the ‘seat of reflection’ is a testament to the Carthew family and its ‘generosity of spirit’.” The Federal Government provided $2500 through its Stronger Communities Program for the project.

Confirmation of Federal Government funding for a new Murtoa day-care centre has come in the wake of a meeting between Nationals parliamentarians and community representatives about the issue. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy and Nationals Deputy leader Steph Ryan attended the meeting, which Yarriambiack Shire had organised to explore potential funding opportunities. Ms Kealy said the meeting was in response to the State Government advising it was unlikely to support a funding application for a new childcare facility in Murtoa because the town was not in a ‘growth corridor’. The meeting heard the council had planned to build a new childcare centre at the rear of a Murtoa Kindergarten on Marma Street. However, with structural assessment showing the kindergarten building required extensive investment, the council was now exploring an option of co-locating the kindergarten and childcare centre to one site at Murtoa P-12 College – or on land near the college and Our Lady Help of Christians School. Ms Kealy said Murtoa was in the unique situation of having childcare workers, pre-school children and land ‘ready to go’ – but was missing the required infrastructure to make the project a reality. “It makes absolute sense to co-locate a new kindergarten and new childcare centre – and potentially incorporate maternal child-health services too – on one site,” she said “Yarriambiack Shire Council has done an enormous amount of work to bring this project to fruition, including undertaking a condition assessment

of the existing kindergarten building, which showed the facility requires a substantial amount of work and investment to bring it up to an acceptable standard. The council has committed $400,000 to fund this and now needs government funding to get the project over the line so local families can access the care they need.” Ms Kealy said State Government rejection of the council’s previous approach for funding support was ‘completely’ unjustified. “The Andrews Labor government must recognise that families in rural Victoria need access to childcare just as much as families living in what Labor defines as a ‘growth corridor’,” she said. “And it’s simply unfair and neglectful to say we deserve anything less. “I have met with ICU nurses, teachers and a dental nurse in the area who are all keen to return to the local workforce, but have been unable to do so simply because there is no childcare available in their local community. “A new childcare facility in Murtoa will unlock this local workforce that is so desperately needed – these families just need our support to make this happen. “The State Budget in May provides the government with an excellent opportunity to correct their neglect of local families in the past and provide the funding necessary to establish an early years children’s learning hub in Murtoa.” Federal Member for Mallee Dr Anne Webster had also met with the council and community and supported a council application to the Federal Government’s $19.4-million Community Child Care Fund.

Plan to benefit from Games

LET’S GO: Timothy Swan at Murtoa Railway Station. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Rare opportunity awaits

rare opportunity for traintravel enthusiasts is set to unfold in the Wimmera next month when a heritage passenger train travels to and in the region.

A collective of Murtoa rail enthusiasts and volunteer Wimmera tourism promoters have managed to arrange Seymour Railway Heritage Centre to run the train on what is usually a freight-rail line. A return shuttle between Murtoa and Warracknabeal will be on May 21 and part of an overall ‘Wimmera Weekender’ promotion. Wimmera people will have a chance to experience a trip on a heritage train and soak up scenery rarely seen by road or rail. Seymour Railway Heritage Centre is a not-for-profit organisation and its visit features a diesel engine and air-conditioned former

1937 spirit of Progress carriages. Attractions on the trip will include silo art on the branch line to Warracknabeal. On May 21, after Melbourne passengers disembark from the train at Murtoa as part of their weekend experience, Wimmera passengers who have made prior bookings will then board the train and take their seats. This will happen about 1pm before the train starts its return trip from Murtoa to Warracknabeal. The train has a licensed kiosk on board and refreshments will be available for passengers as the train travels ‘at a leisurely pace’ on its journey. The train is scheduled to return to Murtoa by about 5.30pm. The Melbourne weekend travellers, having spent a day in Murtoa and the night in Horsham, will continue their Warracknabeal rail experience that includes an exten-

sion to Beulah the following day. People can make their bookings by visiting online TryBooking site Murtoa – Warracknabeal Heritage Train or Seymour Railway Heritage Centre website. Yarriambiack Shire councillor Tom Hamilton said everyone involved in the visit was excited. “There are two main aspects,” he said. “There are the passengers from Melbourne, with the train leaving Seymour on the Saturday who travel via Broadmeadows where they and pick up more passengers. They then arrive at Murtoa at 12.30pm. “Those passengers will then spend the afternoon at Murtoa where we will have the railway station and Water Tower Museum open as well as the Dunmunkle Sumpoilers and Murtoa Stick Shed. The sumpoilers and stick shed will run tours at 2.30pm and

4.30pm and those tours are also open to the general public. “It is while all that is going on for the Melbourne passengers that locals can board the train at Murtoa. “I can’t remember the last time you could get on a train at Murtoa. “I have done it, but it was a long, long time ago. And it will travel up to Warracknabeal and come back.” Cr Hamilton there were 150 tickets available and they were selling quickly. He said bookings were essential and people needed simply select the number of people in a party, their own seat and carriage numbers and complete other details. Cr Hamilton said the cost was $50 for adults and $25 for children under 16. Passengers must have their ticket with them on the day.

A Wimmera development leader has encouraged sporting organisations to consider all possibilities after a State Government decision to include non-competition hosting regions in a Commonwealth Games Victorian showcase. The State Government has established an initial expression-of-information process that will ask councils, peak bodies, traditional owners, cultural organisations and businesses to submit ideas to help showcase Victoria’s regions. Suggestions for Games-adjacent cultural programs, indigenous engagement, sporting-heat hosting and training would be considered from all parties from any Victorian region, especially if the region was not an official Games competition hub. Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said opportunities were also available to individual sporting clubs and he encouraged people to be proactive to establish or reaffirm their international sporting-club connections. “Often these opportunities are about how clubs can work with international sporting-club associations, and often it is about just reaching out and realising connections with other countries,” he said. “Whenever connections are already in place, it always makes things easier and while this is one opportunity, there will be lots more that come from such connections too.” Mr Sounness said while the State Government expression of interest form was important, clubs could expedite the process through a mixture of informal and formal dialogue with international organisations. “Clubs that do that, will do better in this regard than clubs that don’t. Reach out to clubs overseas – it won’t do any harm,” he said. “Especially lawn-bowls clubs and associations. Horsham district has some really good lawn-bowl facilities that might be possibilities to host pre-Games training and tournaments.” The State Government announced its 2026 Commonwealth Games regional showcase would extend beyond official sporting competition to include warm-up tournaments, training camps, live sites and activations in towns and cities across Victoria. State Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula said the government wanted every region to have an opportunity to be involved in the Games. “That is why we want to hear from local communities about how to best showcase their region,” he said. An official early expression of interest form is available online at vic.gov.au/victoria-2026-commonwealth-games

Good will as powerful as conflict W

hile reflecting of times past during Anzac Day, it was hard to ignore the fact that as we listened about the horrors, inhumanity and ridiculousness of war, that armed international conflict continued to rage in Ukraine.

To coin a line from the Norman Whitefield and Barrett Strong song ‘War’, made famous by Edwin Starr in 1970, war is ‘Friend only to the undertaker’. Perhaps the underpinning question and answer carrying the song through its duration makes an even stronger point – ‘War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!’ Sure, it can galvanise or harden the resolve of people, but in the end it’s about killing, maiming and destroying people and their assets – be it as attacker or defender. It, like most physical fights, is the ultimate revelation that we as humans are also animals and have the ability to be as stupid as we are clever. One of the first comments from idle chat among friends after news broke that Russia had started its war on Ukraine were: ‘Surely not. This is modern world. It’s not supposed to happen anymore!’.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

But it seems that for such a smart animal, we can easily dismiss judgment errors from the past. This is why the words ‘lest we forget’, the annual reminder hammered into us every year since children, are part of Anzac lore. During the Second World War, the USSR, including Russia, Ukraine and its other republics, lost what some estimate to be about 27-million people. You would think this fact alone would always be an influencing factor when their leaders make military decisions. Of course it is always the innocents who suffer the most during war and what is commonly coined as ‘collateral damage’ can be immense. Ukraine has some of the most productive farmland in Europe and as a major graingrowing nation is usually a fierce inter-

national market competitor of Australia. That competition directly includes us, here in the Wimmera. In understanding and acknowledging this intense market rivalry, we salute our regional broadacre farmers who show international solidarity to support Grain Producers Australia’s Grain4Ukraine fundraiser. Grain4Ukraine involves Australian farmers donating harvest proceeds to Ukrainian farmers hit hard by the war. The reality is that many Wimmera growers are likely to financially benefit from rising grain prices generated by the conflict. War would have crippled much of Ukraine agricultural production. For our farmers to make such a donation, especially in a seasonal industry where disaster can lurk around the corner, is a wonderfully magnanimous gesture. It is one of those occasions that should make us proud to be who we are and perhaps sets an example of what is possible in building international relationships. It might sound a bit naïve, but we shouldn’t need to have a nasty fight to make things happen. Just respect and good will.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Plans continually stalled

SIR, – Reading the front page of The Weekly Advertiser, April 20, 2022, the concept of ‘Regional Cities sharing a Commonwealth Games’ has been a part of the advocacy by Regional Cities Victoria for at least eight years. The lack of modern, safe community sporting facilities in Horsham is not the fault of state or federal governments. Successive councils have worked hard to get the community enthused about new, modern, safe facilities for indoor and outdoor sport since the condition of these assets was highlighted in the Sport and Recreation Strategy of 2004-05 – and each one ever since. The State Government is keen to support councils who do the planning, with the full support of potential user groups of multiuse facilities. The only two examples of high-quality regional city community facilities in Horsham, as stated, are Horsham Town Hall and the Horsham Aquatic Centre. The new generation of Horsham residents may well be interested in the plans for a three-court multi-use indoor sports stadium from 2016 – which sit in a council drawer. Designed with enthusiastic State Government support, the project is stalled. The opportunities are there, waiting to be seized. Many long-term residents and the local

media know how hard it is to progress Horsham into the future. It requires pluck and patience. Mark Radford Quantong

Hospital bed a basic right

SIR, – Recently a 72-year-old man died at Bairnsdale Hospital while waiting for four hours to be admitted. Three other ambulances were waiting with patients. There is a severe shortage of hospital beds across Australia – sometimes general ward and mostly emergency department, and people are struggling to see their local GP. COVID work shortages are one reason. However, federal and state governments have failed for decades to fund hospitals to keep pace with population growth. At this election, the Liberals are standing on their record of increased funding for Medicare and bulk billing at its highest rate, while Labor has a $135-million plan to trial bulk-billed urgent-care clinics. This has been welcomed by experts but is not costed and might not go far enough to reduce the stress on emergency departments of hospitals. There are a range of things that can be done to improve the situation. The Federal Government needs to lift its hospital funding from 45 to 50 percent and abolish the 6.5 percent growth cap on

hospital funding, which would boost funds by $20-billion over four years. We need more funds for aged-care and disability-care facilities, because these people are clogging up the hospital system. Financial incentives for GPs to operate for longer hours would reduce the bed shortages as well. The Federal Government has splurged $55.6-billion in grants in less than four years, including $13.8-billion during this election campaign. And yet an old man dies in a hospital toilet waiting four hours for treatment. Whoever wins the coming election must get back to basics and fund hospitals properly. A hospital bed is a basic right for all Australians. Robert Blakeley Horsham

Drive-in fun for families BY MICHAEL SCALZO

immera families can watch a film in a unique way this Saturday with a drive-in cinema to light up the autumn evening.

Horsham Optus will host a temporary drive-in theatre, with options to lay a picnic rug on the lawn, at Horsham Agricultural Society’s Maydale Reserve. Horsham Optus franchise owner Mick Dempster said the experience was a great opportunity for families to be part of something special, reconnect and have fun in the wake of the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. “Everyone has had a pretty ordinary time in recent years when it comes to getting out and social,” he said. “The event will be one of the first drive-in experiences Horsham has had in several years and the agricultural society has made the area a great spot to have these events. “The weather is looking good and hopefully everyone has an enjoyable night.” The event is ticketed but involves no cost for patrons. Tickets will include popcorn, dinner options and picnic blankets available at no charge for people wanting to sit closer to the big screen for the family film ‘Back to the Outback’. Optus Southern Victoria general manager Jayson Grool said the event was a great way to give back to the community of Horsham. The event also marks a new working relationship between Optus and Netflix. “The film will be on our massive mobile big-screen – a big movie

Also, depending on the event, the set-up could be available for other community events,” Mr Grool said. He said Optus placed a strong importance on working alongside community events, businesses and councils to support regional communities – in particular, young people. “This is the first time we are doing something like this with a temporary drive-in theatre, but there would abso-

lutely be opportunities to do it again going forward — especially on the other side of winter, we would look to do some summer evening events,” he said. Horsham Agricultural Society’s Andrea Cross said her organisation was pleased to be involved. “We have had similar events with big screens before at the showground, and this is another great opportunity to utilise he showground’s wide-open

spaces,” she said. “I know there are not many spots left. If people leave it too late to book a ticket, they will miss out.” Event capacity is limited to 75 cars, with five-people per car, for the drivein allocation, and 75 grass picnic spots. The event, at Maydale Reserve, begins at 6pm. Mr Dempster said people could go to www.trybooking.com/BYNFB to book their ticket.

Ararat identity Noel is back on the road thanks to the generosity of the city’s residents. Noel has lost two bicycles to theft in the past few months, most recently earlier this month. Ararat business owner Liesa Iezekil said the Ararat community rallied around Noel’s dilemma and raised money to buy him a new bike. “Everyone started saying they’d donate to buy him a bike and I started taking donations. I even had to knock back some donations,” she said. “Lardner Brothers have supplied the bike and have adjusted it so Noel can tow his trailer and lawn mower so he can continue his rounds.” Mrs Iezrkil said Ararat police found the stolen bike, but it was damaged.

‘Weird and wonderful’ comes to life BY DEAN LAWSON

immera Steampunk Festival appears likely to cement itself into the region’s annual events calendar after more than 2500 people attended the Dimboola street party.

Event spokesman Chan Uoy said organisers would spend the next week debriefing about the pros and cons of Saturday night’s inaugural festival. But planning was already underway for a return event in 2023. “It was just phenomenal. I’ve always treated the event as a social experiment and you just don’t know how things will go. But we were really happy,” he said. “It showed that people were keen to embrace a new idea, ran with it and supported it. “It demonstrated that people wanted something new and different. And importantly, in creating an event, we wanted to bring fun to the region in a creative and imaginative way. “When I first put this idea forward, a good 90 percent didn’t know what steampunk was. But now they do –

they saw it with their own eyes and I think they loved it. “People are already saying they are planning next year’s outfits and others are keen to book in at the caravan park in advance.” Wimmera Steampunk Festival in Lochiel Street had a charter to draw the regional community together with a combination of fantasy, science-fiction and fashions from times past. The steampunk concept involves blending Victoriana and imagination and celebrating the ‘weird and wonderful’ amid music, performance and inclusive, multi-cultural and other activities. Mr Uoy said the festival had generated media coverage Australia-wide. “People across Australia have been talking about what’s happening in Dimboola, the Wimmera and Victoria,” he said. “Members of the visiting steampunk troupe The Brass Harpies from Sassafras were suggesting Dimboola could become the steampunk capital of Victoria – and considering how visitors responded to how friendly

and welcoming it was for them, it has the legs for that. “We’ve had overwhelmingly positive feedback. People want another one and the only real negative comment was that they wished it went over two nights instead of one. We’ll explore all options. “It was almost as if the Wimmera didn’t know what it wanted until it was shown to them. “My initial thinking is to have it again on roughly the same date and at the same time to maintain the night-time light event and magic. “We’ll need to have a debrief with volunteers and groups and come up with a date. “When it happens again we’ll encourage people to confirm their intent of attending early. “Many people last weekend turned up on the night and while this was not unexpected, we want to ensure we can provide the best catering and facilities possible. “It is something for everyone to think about for next year when it will be even better.”

The group, back presenting shows after a twoyear hiatus, will present Broadway Showcase at the town hall theatre from May 18 to 22. Broadway Showcase is a refined version of the production that was set to hit the stage in May 2020 before the pandemic forced the closure weeks before opening night. The production, directed by Debbie Boucher and produced by Simon Dandy, features more than 30 numbers from 24 Broadway musicals such as Wicked, Hair, Hamilton, Shrek and Pippin.

Ms Wilson, an announcer and copy-writer with 3WM and MIXX FM, added that audiences could expect ‘a lot of fun’. “People who might not necessarily usually warm to musical theatre are sure to enjoy this show because there is something for everyone,” she said. “When you have 30 different numbers and many different performers, there is going to be something that someone enjoys. “We’ve been rehearsing for about three months and despite all the pressure, I feel we will all be able to pull off something great.”

Grampians Health has eased visitor restrictions across its hospitals at Horsham, Stawell and Dimboola in line with latest State Government directions. The heath service had activated a Code Yellow alert for its Ballarat hospital, but stood down the alert yesterday. Inpatients, patients who have been admitted to a hospital ward, in Stawell, Horsham and Dimboola are now permitted a maximum of two visitors a day, for up to two hours each during visiting hours of 2pm to 8pm. Grampians Health has asked patients, families and friends to coordinate their visits to ensure they are adhering to restrictions and there are no more than two visitors per day. Visitors are not permitted to enter quarantine or

isolation areas, including dedicated COVID-19 and respiratory wards. COVID-19 in the community means the health service might also need to limit visitors to some areas at short notice. Health-service leaders have asked people to check with the ward that they intend to visit each day to ensure they have permission on that day. People can do this by calling reception at Grampians Health sites. All visitors are required to check in with a QR code and undergo entrance screening and must wear a mask provided by Grampians Health. Visitors not fully vaccinated will be required to wear an N95 mask in order to be permitted on site.

nzac Day services across the region saw a welcome resurgence of people paying respect and remembering the sacrifice made by service men and women.

Horsham’s Anzac Day services attracted large crowds at a dawn service and mid-morning march for the community’s first post-COVID restrictions Anzac Day gatherings. Horsham Returned Services League president Don Pirouet said he was surprised at how many people showed up to pay their respects to Australia’s veterans. “It was actually brilliant. I was very surprised at the numbers, considering the past couple of years I thought people would perhaps be a little bit wary,” he said. “But the numbers were really outstanding, and it all was a great response from the community to support Anzac Day activities this way, particularly the dawn service.” Mr Pirouet said the large crowd that marched through Horsham’s Firebrace Street to the commemorative service showed Anzac Day was in ‘good step going forward’. “I’ve heard from people the

GROWING PAINS AND LEG PAIN IN TEENAGERS In these fast growing years our teenagers can suffer a lot of pain in their legs and we often dismiss it as simple growing pains. Now that’s not completely correct. As they grow so rapidly their muscles and ligaments have trouble keeping up and the rapidly growing joint puts pressure on these areas causing pain. Also, a very real issue is that areas are out of alignment or have been jammed up for awhile. Whilst they have been growing slowly it’s not so noticeable, however with sudden growth spurts it highlights a hidden problem. This is what you don’t want to miss, because it can set them up for ongoing issues that can be dismissed as simple growing pains. I have also seen when a teenager has bilateral knee pain and heading for surgery for that knee that keeps dislocating, that they have a sacral problem which is undiagnosed, because it’s knee pain. We often think as the sacrum as a solid tail bone. Well in young children it is five individual bones which don’t start to join to form one bone until they are around 13 years of age. Each one can misalign or jam up. As a chiropractor we look at all areas of the spine and check all joints in the legs to find out what is not moving properly and the best way to correct it. Keeping teenagers moving well helps them grow straighter, stronger and assists them to perform better at their activities. We’re here to help.

Investigation seeks helpers W

immera nature lovers can get involved in an Australia-wide native plant hunt to learn how vegetation suffers or recovers after flood, fire, climate change, human activity and other threats.

The Wimmera landscape is often subject to fire and occasionally flood and is home to vast native plant population. Some of the species are ‘priority plants’ identified in an Atlas of Living Australia program Flora Connections program. The CSIRO, Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment and Western Sydney University, SWU, is supporting the project — aimed at harnessing the passion of amateur flora groups and citizen scientists to help monitor recovery. Atlas of Living Australia’s Dr Erin Roger said the project was important work, with the cost of environmental events impacting many important native plants as well as people and wildlife. “As extreme fires and floods become more common, plants, which are vital to keeping our ecosystems healthy, also need to recover,” Dr Roger said. “Through Flora Connections, we want to better understand how our native plants are recovering post-fire and flood, and that means boots on the ground.” WSU project principal scientist and Associate Professor Rachael Gallagher said the project aimed to connect community knowledge with government and researchers to help develop an

up-to-date understanding of how plant species had fared after extreme events. “Plants are at the core of our ecosystems and protecting them makes sense given the huge role they play in human existence,” Dr Gallagher said. “There’s a wealth of knowledge in the hands of the bushwalkers of Australia and we’re keen to harness it to bring much-needed data about how plants respond to extreme events to the surface.” Dr Roger said volunteer amateur botanists could visit floraconnections.com to access information, documentation forms and other material to help them gather and submit the data. “After the information is submitted to Flora Connections, it will then be made available by the Atlas of Living Australia, our national biodiversity data infrastructure, which will be of huge value to support the science of bushfire impacts on plants,” she said. The Federal Government published a ‘priority plant’ list of more than 450 species in need of urgent management intervention to support recovery after 2019-2020 bushfires. This list also includes plants that are under assessment for recognition as threatened species under the EPBC Act as of March 2022. Priority species under investigation that occur in the Wimmera include the white star-bush, Asterolasia asteriscophora, which historically occurs in the Grampians, spiked sour-bush, Chortetrum spicatusm, recorded in the Little Desert.

MUSICAL FUN: Stawell Performing Arts Company’s Tyler Wineberg, playing King Arthur, left, and Greg Little, as sidekick Patsy, ham it up in preparation for the company’s production of Spamalot.

off*

Casting call for Stawell show Stawell Performing Arts Company is on the hunt for cast members to become involved its 2022 musical production of Spamalot. It has put out a casting call to people across the Wimmera. Show director Tyler Wineberg said the company had chosen Spamalot because of the diversity of roles in the show and the opportunity this created for people to get involved. “Spamalot has everything from kings, knights and ladies of the lake, to French taunters and killer rabbits,” he said. Mr Wineberg said opportunities ranged from the lead characters, to the ensemble and chorus parts, as well as being involved in the production team or backstage. “Apart from being a Broadway award-winning musical, it is a lot of fun – and let’s face it, coming off the last two years who couldn’t

do with a bit of fun and social connection. The beauty of Spamalot is that almost all roles can be played by any gender, and there are parts for people of all ages and abilities.” Lovingly ‘ripped off’ from Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Eric Idle and John Du Prez, Tony Award-winning Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table in their quest to find the Grail. Auditions for lead character parts will occur in the first week of May. Rehearsals start in July and the show takes the stage in late October. Mr Wineberg said people wanting more information about the show and auditions could email spaci@outlook.com or phone 0484 531614.

Candidate: We’ve overtaken Nats

nited Australia Party candidate for Mallee Stuart King believes his party has overtaken the Nationals ‘in leaps and bounds’ as the number-one party for rural Australia. Mr King said only the UAP had policies that would drive economic growth, infrastructure development and improve the wealth and lifestyles of rural Australian families and communities. “The Nationals have sold their souls to the Liberal Party and no longer accurately represent the views or needs of rural Australia,” he said. Mr King said the UAP policies for regional Australia were simple and would stimulate significant economic

activity, leading to expanded and new businesses, better services and population growth. “That provides hope and prosperity for the future of rural communities” he said. “We are securing the long-term viability of sporting clubs and community groups, the societal fabric of rural Australia.”

Rural focus

Mr King said his party’s key polices for rural Australia included: • A 20 percent income and company tax concession to people living more than 200 kilometres from a capital city to incentivise decentralisation and attract workers and industries to the regions; • Supporting downstream minerals

processing and manufacturing in states and territories other than the source of the resources, such as New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria; • Removing the excise on fuel. This was a significant benefit to rural Australians — not just for farming and transport, but to reduce the cost of everyday travel; • Abolishing provisional and fringebenefits tax to assist the cashflow and profitability of many rural businesses; • Investing $40-billion in hospital infrastructure and healthcare; • A $20-billion investment into education, plus the reinstatement of free higher education in TAFEs and universities and wiping existing HECS debts;

• A revised labelling system for Australian Made-packaged products to have a minimum 95 percent Australian content; and • Returning 25 percent of the wealth of a region to be reinvested into that region. “Rural Australia will also benefit from more general UAP policies to pay off the $1-trillion debt, capping home-loan interest rates at three percent for five years, and making the first $30,000 paid on a home-loan tax deductible each year,” he said. Mr King said the party executive was supportive and willing to tackle complex issues such as overhauling the Murray Darling Basin Plan, completing the Murray Basin Rail Project and improving the funding

mechanisms for local government. “As a third-generation Mallee farmer, a small-business owner and a family man who is active in my community, I know that these policies will end the discrimination against rural Australia,” he said. “Rural people, businesses and their communities can look forward to a vibrant and prosperous future with job creation and rising standards of living and wages.”

Mallee candidates

Candidates standing for Mallee at the May 20 election are: Sophie Baldwin and Claudia Haenel, Independents; Carol Hart, Labor; Chris Lahy, Citizens Party; Stuart King, UAP; and Dr Anne Webster, The Nationals.

Horsham Independent candidate for Mallee Claudia Haenel believes widespread changes to regional health services can only occur with parliamentary Independents applying pressure on the Federal Government. Ms Haenel said despite Medicare being in place from February 1, 1984 it had failed in its 38-year history to support to support regional communities ‘as it was designed’. “Although hospitals are the State Government responsibility to manage, the Federal Government controls Medicare, influencing expenditure,” she said. “It is abhorrent that regional hospitals are

not fully Medicare-funded while suburban hospitals are. “Regional citizens have an equal right to attend an emergency department the same as those in high-density areas. “Urgent-care services is subsidised by Medicare, however, after visiting an ‘urgent care’ centre you will receive an invoice in the mail. There should be no us and them in Australian hospitals.” Ms Haenel said she would work to have better funding for Mallee electorate hospitals if elected next month. “Healthcare in Australia should be fair for all – not just those in the cities,” she said.

“This problem is not simply isolated to emergency departments – but extends to elective surgeries. There are limited surgeries performed in regional hospitals and the hospitals in the cities have long waiting lists. “Properly funded regional hospitals can ease the burden across the state. This will save lives, create jobs and support our community. “These changes will not happen without Independent pressure; the major parties are happy with the status quo. “Since the pandemic ended the waiting lists for elective surgeries have continued to grow, I can work to make this change.”

Opportunity to develop skills The Weekly Advertiser, in partnership with Leadership Wimmera, continues to present weekly profiles of this year’s leadership program participants. Leadership Wimmera has provided opportunities for the development of emerging and existing community leaders across the Wimmera and southern Mallee Victoria since its inception in 2002. Graduates from the program, overseen by Wimmera Development Association, use life and leadership skills they learn in the program in their roles as business owners, managers, employees, volunteers, parents, friends and community members. It has two flagship programs and runs a number of other development opportunities annually. The Change Makers program is for existing leaders – those who own or run a business and/or who lead a team at work or in their community life and who have demonstrated potential to commit to greater leadership involvement in their workplace or community. An Emerging Leaders is designed for people wanting to build leadership skills to increase their influence within the workplace or community groups.

Quail callers suspended Q

uail hunters will be unable to use electronic ‘quail callers’ during the 2022 stubble-quailhunting season.

Business-organisation and role? Agriculture Victoria, Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions research scientist. Which Leadership Wimmera Program are you participating in? Emerging Leaders. Why are you participating in a Leadership Wimmera program? In my work place, I lead a small team and participating in the program will help me to improve my leadership skills. What do you hope to achieve and/or learn by participating in Leadership Wimmera? I would like to achieve some of the lead-

s ’ er th o M ay D

ership skills such as self-awareness, delivering clear messages, to speak up confidently, improve communication and community engagement. All these skills will help in building a more efficient team. What has been the highlight of the program so far? The retreat at Roses Gap was the highlight of the program so far for me, because it provided a platform for all the participants to get to know one another and especially the traffic jam activity showed us how to approach the problems as a team.

Victoria’s Game Management Authority has announced the use of electronic quail callers will be prohibited during the season. Stubble-quail season runs until June 30. ‘Quail callers’ are electronic acoustic lures that emit the calls of stubble quail to attract and concentrate the birds into a specific area. The authority announced the move after an investigation with Deakin University over the ethics of using quail callers generated by hunting-community concerns. The research found quail callers significantly increased the number of quail in the vicinity of the activated caller and concentrated the birds into a ‘very localised’ area around it, making it easier for hunters to harvest the quail. Authority chief executive Graeme

Ford said research findings revealed a need to suspend the use of quail callers for the 2022 quail season. “We now have evidence that using electronic quail callers significantly increases the number of quail in the vicinity of the caller,” Mr Ford said. “As the popularity of these devices is increasing, we need to put their use on hold until the costs and benefits of their use can be fully explored during the review of the Wildlife Game Regulations 2012. “The results of the research show there is a very real risk that widespread use of quail callers could result in over-harvesting.” The use of quail callers when hunting game is already prohibited in many parts of the world. The authority will be patrolling public land and private properties across Victoria throughout the quail-hunting season to ensure compliance with hunting laws.

Funding boost for school Horsham Primary School’s administration building will improve with money from the State Government. The school received funding for the project as part of the government’s Minor Capital Works Fund. Education Minister James Merlino said the money would support hun-

dreds of projects across the state. “Every student should have a great school, no matter where they live,” he said. “That’s why we’re investing in hundreds of small but important projects that will make a big difference for schools.”

Robust domestic economic growth

ustralia is rebounding from the pandemic, with domestic economic growth forecast to reach 3.5 percent this financial year.

Some analysts predict it might be even stronger — possibly reaching as high as four percent. Much of this is due to the lingering impact of the Federal Government’s massive $343-billion health and economic pandemic support packages, as well as further spending in response to recent floods in New South Wales and Queensland. The government is also spending some $18-billion on infrastructure, mostly rail and road improvements, in an attempt to boost productivity and efficiencies throughout the economy, particularly in the regions. Tightening geo-political tensions

FINANCE

in Asia and around the world has prompted the government to earmark as much spending again on strategic defence measures, including a new naval submarine base on the east coast.

Commodity prices

The sudden, and largely unexpected, war in Ukraine has prompted a spike in oil prices as a shadow falls over the continued supply of Russian oil and gas to Western Europe. While prices will ease with the arrival of the northern summer, they are expected to remain stubbornly high. The war, along with continued supply interruptions due to the pandemic’s lingering impact on world trade, means prices for key commodities such as iron ore, coal, and wheat will remain high for the foreseeable future. For Australia, this is, on balance, good news, meaning the price we

are paid for key exports will remain strong, driving both domestic profits and government tax revenue higher.

Employment

Domestic unemployment is set to fall to 3.75 percent in the coming months – its lowest level in some 50 years. Meanwhile, whole sectors, such as the aged-care and child-minding sectors and a number of agricultural sectors, are reporting desperate staff shortages, prompting calls to lift migration levels and allow more

temporary workers into the country. Nonetheless, low wage growth continues to dog the economy. While the government is forecasting quarterly wage growth of 3.25 percent by the middle of next year, this is still below the expected inflation rate. This means most Australians will face little relief from higher living costs. Nonetheless, the continued strength of government spending, combined with prevailing strong terms of trade, should boost profits across the board, leading to higher returns for investors.

The US Federal Reserve has started to pull monetary policy back in with a series of interest-rate hikes, fanning fears that the US economy might fall into recession later this year. The US is not alone. The Australian Federal Treasury expects global trade bottlenecks – the war in Ukraine and higher oil and food prices – to prompt an uptick in the local inflation rate above the Reserve Bank’s preferred inflation band of 2.5 to three percent. Rising inflation is, in turn, spurring fears of a domestic interest-rate hike, with many analysts expecting the cash rate to increase by one full percentage point, which could cause home-loan rates to rise across the country.

On the horizon

As always, there are clouds on the horizon. The United States was already facing inflationary pressures, and the impact of the Ukraine war on oil prices is likely to push the US inflation rate higher still, possibly touching 7.9 percent this year.

Garden works boost aesthetic, soil health

COMPLETE: The works at Jane’s Garden in Pomonal.

Jane’s Garden in Pomonal has new retaining edging as part of a streetscape development in the town. Ararat Rural City Council’s Parks and Gardens crew has installed the wall near Pomonal General Store. The council’s deputy chief executive Julie Cronin said she was thrilled with the finished product. “Consistent with the Pomonal Community Action Plan 2020-2025, the upgrade for a new retaining wall in Jane’s Garden resulted in a more beautiful, improved, and safer attraction in the centre of Pomonal,” Ms Cronin said. “The council recognises that retain-

ing walls in gardens can look aesthetically pleasing and be practical in maintaining the health of the soil. “The project is a great example of effective community-council partnership in creating more positive outcomes for smaller towns across the municipality.” Pomonal Progress Association co-ordinator Jill Miller said she appreciated the work program. “Jane Williams was a Pomonal resident who, together with her husband, Phil Williams, grew many local plants, grasses, trees and shrubs. It was only natural to name the garden after her given her passion

to revegetate broken bush lands with mixed plantings,” Ms Miller said. “The plants found in Jane’s Garden are Indigenous to the Grampians region and planted by a local group, the Australian Plant Society Grampians branch. “Recently, we found it was difficult to keep soil and mulch on the garden beds and the work carried out to edge the garden has made a huge difference. “The work carried out by Ararat Rural City Council, while very practical, is also very attractive and well done, fitting well with the ideal of the garden.”

GOTCHA! We were caught out with one of the answers of our weekly quiz last week. It was an overlooked ‘interpretive text correction’ but we will happily wear it. Reader Carol Starkey said she was surprised to read that along with the physical attributes of only four toes, no dew claws and two less teeth than Canis genera, the Lycaon pictus was also able to ‘read at a top speed of 70kmh’. She said she found it ‘splendidly amazing’ that a wild African dog could not only read, but did so at such an amazing speed. Okay, it was meant to read ‘reach a top speed of 70kmh’. A good ‘gotcha’ and well done, Carol. – Editor Answers: 1. Plantagenet. England established an international identity under the Plantagenets. Its demise came as a result of the War of the Roses conflict between its cadet branches of York and Lancaster. The defeat of Richard III opened the door for the rise of the Tudor dynasty, which lasted until 1603 and the death of Elizabeth I. The House of Stuart then took over. 2. A. 145,478,097. 3. A cajon is a box-like instrument that percussions sit on and use their hands to create beats and fills. It supposedly originated in Peru. The differently-spelt cajun is seasoning. 4. Narrow, 1067mm, standard 1435mm and broad 1600mm. As of September 2019, Victoria had an estimated 16 kilometres of narrow gauge, 1912 of standard, 2357 of broad and 32 of dual. 5. C. Shrewdness. 6.

Initiative spreads global support 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Wimmera farming leader has encouraged grain growers to appreciate their innate connection with global farming and back an initiative supporting Ukraine.

Andrew Weidemann of Grain Producers Australia referred to the national representative organisation’s fundraiser, Grain4Ukraine. The initiative asks grain farmers to donate proceeds from their winter harvest to Ukrainian farmers managing with business and humanitarian impacts of the Russian invasion. Mr Weidemann, GPA southern director and research and development spokesman, said Australian and Ukranian farmers had shared interests. “Farmers, from anywhere in the world, are farmers. Our interests are all the same and that is what struck me most having been involved with global farming networks,” he said. “The initiative came to GPA through our membership base. A lot of calls were made to the director and chief executive about what might be possible to support Ukraine. “Of course, globally, Ukraine’s farmers are our competitors; but noone wants anything like what we are seeing over there to happen to anyone.” The Grain4Ukraine fundraiser will donate contributions through a Grow-

Wimmera farmers can donate to a national Grain Producers Australia-led initiative supporting affected farmers in conflict. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER er Delivery Card within the National Grower Register system. GPA chief executive Colin Bettles said donations would go to external programs, as determined by a Grain4Ukraine sub-committee, with a focus on long-term and future recovery of Ukrainian farmers and communities.

“We are encouraging Australian grain farmers to fly the flag for Ukraine to show our support for Ukraine farmers, and to provide ideas and suggestions – from anyone in the grains industry and across Australian agriculture – on where and how to target the best possible support,” he said.

Mr Weidemann, of Rupanyup, said while news reports were disseminating conflict-impact media from Ukraine, it remained difficult for people to fully understand the depths of the war’s destruction on Ukrainian farming communities. “No-one can comprehend what is fully going on there – even if we get

news snippets that might tell a small tale,” he said. Mr Weidemann, also one of eight Australians involved with global farmers round-table organisation, Global Farmers Network, said through its alumni of international farmers he remained in contact with Ukrainian farmers dealing with the conflict. He said a grower-delivery card was a way farmers could show support. “We established the fundraiser so every cent raised could be given to Ukrainian farmers in some way or another,” he said. “Our Western Australian sub-committee members, in particular and with a substantial amount of Ukrainianlinked people in their communities, know readily how hard the war has hit Ukrainian farmers.” The GPA initiative has encouraged farmers to fly a Ukrainian flag from farm machinery during sowing and to share pictures of the flags and machinery on social media with the hashtag #AussieGrain4Ukraine The appeal’s National Grower Register card number is 1500 4442 and registered to Grain Producers Australia Limited. After program submissions were made and money allocated, a project report would be available for member transparency.

A perfect drop at a perfect time 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY DEAN LAWSON

roadacre farmers across the Wimmera and Mallee are describing last week’s heavy and widespread rain as one of the best starts to a cropping season since the 1980s.

They tipped between 20 and 60 millimetres from gauges in an area spanning from south of the Grampians to deep into the Mallee, with the heaviest falls in the north. History suggests the best timing for the autumn break to set-up conditions for a bumper harvest later in the year occurs shortly before Anzac Day. The rain came as if almost on queue. Victorian Farmers Federation Wimmera branch immediate past-president Graeme Maher said the amount, spread and extent of the rain had opened a door of opportunity in cropping security and diversity. He said farmers now had a choice of sowing a variety of crops based on a market demand for grain – and could do it with sense of confidence. “I’ve been in the game long enough to know we obviously have a long way to go in the season. But we’re seeing $1000 a tonne for canola and $400 for wheat and strong demand generally for grain,” he said. “The prices are historically as good as we’ve seen and yes it’s a long, long way to go.

PINK SKY AT NIGHT: Low moisture-laden clouds across the Wimmera last week turned a dramatic pink overnight in Horsham’s west. The strange phenomenon was caused by illuminating lamps in new hothouses at Grains Innovation Park. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “But this rain means these options are all now available to us.” Mr Maher, who farms at Lubeck, Dadswells Bridge and Mt Dryden, said farmers always sowed with a degree of nervousness. “But this rain has taken a major issue out of the equation,” he said. “We know we can get the crops up and running and they will most prob-

ably be right until late winter. Who knows what spring brings? But at this stage, being able to get the crops up going is all we want. It’s a massive part of it all.” Mr Maher said cropping farmers now had the benefit of adopting a ‘hurry-up-and-wait’ approach for their sowing schedules. “Just about everyone I’ve talked to

is in the same boat. Because we had relatively high temperatures during Easter and then 20mm to 60mm of rain, the weeds will be up in about seven days,” he said. “We therefore wait 10 to 12 days, apply herbicide to kill the weeds and sow the crops. When that happens it’s perfect timing and we can’t ask for it to be better than that.

“The rain comes as a real ‘diamond in the rough’ considering issues with seed and fertiliser availability and supply issues.” Mr Maher said the autumn rain would also have a significant positive impact on grazing. “It means the pasture will be up and growing before winter and, in some cases, before issues arise with insects – and that’s ideal,” he said. “People managing lambing can be confident their sheep are going to have good pasture and that means healthier stock. “It’s put a real spring in the step. It’s certainly put smiles on faces. The benefits are many and varied – from simply generating a general fresh sense of confidence in the industry to tackling mental-health issues. And these benefits flow onto the broader community. “It renews confidence that might have been on the wane in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and everything associated with it. Because it is so general it will benefit the community at large.” Analysis of rain figures across the region showed more than 50mm at Warracknabeal, up to and around 30mm in Horsham and Nhill and in the mid 20mm at Stawell. Figures varied, sometimes markedly, between parts of the region and farms but most of the falls were significant.

Prestigious invitation for judges 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

immera agricultural judges attending prestigious national livestock competitions at Sydney’s Royal Easter Show have demonstrated the region’s agricultural talent remains pride-of-place.

Poultry judge Michael Lloyd, 21, of Quantong placed second at Agricultural Shows Australia: National Young Judges and Paraders Competition at the show, having competed against Australia’s best young poultry-judging state representatives. Mr Lloyd said the Sydney judges and paraders event was a ‘great’ experience and a chance to judge in front of a city-based crowd, largely unfamiliar with agriculture. “Usually at poultry shows and the state shows I go to, there won’t be a crowd – just exhibitors about the place. But that is a benefit of a royal show with such an agricultural feel – you get so many people who wouldn’t see that sort of stuff normally, so they are very enthusiastic,” he said. “They had on display the little white chooks that lay commercial eggs. They were on display near where we were judging and it does a good job of getting the commercial side of the industry in front of city people.” He said while he did not win overall, he was happy with how he performed. “You don’t get the points form back to see how you did afterwards – you

He said a professional judge offered him a judging contract for one of Australia’s biggest duck shows – a New South Wales Waterfowl Breeders Association show in Goulburn on May 7. Meanwhile, Aurora Park and Burrandool Studs owner Matt Hill, of St Helen’s Plains, was invited to professionally judge dual-purpose sheep for Royal Agricultural Society of NSW for the first time. He said he became involved in sheep judging after a Horsham College agricultural program introduced him to junior competitions.

“It was always daunting as a young person to judge an animal, write it all down, talk to a judge and then with a microphone tell the crowd about your judging decision. They are all judging you while you are judging the sheep,” he said. Mr Hill was invited to his first royalshow judging position after being accepted by a NSW show committee and a royal show committee. “There are a few processes to be involved, and it is all invitational. It is great to get my name up there,” he said. “It is also an advantage for me as a breeder to meet other sheep breeders,

In an otherwise no-till farming system, using a skim plough, harrow, rake or disc chain implement to disturb the top few centimetres of soil can stimulate an even germination of weeds that can then be controlled prior to planting the crop. This tactic is best suited to weeds such as annual ryegrass, paradoxa grass, wild radish and fumitory, which are easily released from dormancy. Soil type is also important, with surface disturbance tactics being considered not suitable for sandy soils, non-wetting soils and those that develop surface crusts. The effect of soil type is two-fold. One concern is the potential increased risk for wind erosion; and the second is that the autumn tickle relies on even wetting of the topsoil. The ideal scenario is following 20-millimetres of breaking rain on suitable soils with moderate to heavy stubble. The resulting germination of seedlings must be treated before seeding, preferably using a double-knock of glyphosate followed by paraquat, or seedbed tillage. Shane Kelly’s family has farmed at Booleroo Central, in South Australia’s low rain zone, for about 100 years. For the past 50 years, its focus has been on restoring the stony red-brown earth soils that had suffered from severe erosion

Shane Kelly during the previous 50 years of farming. Shane now leases the 1000-hectare farm so he can concentrate on his engineering business, Kelly Tillage. “Our journey with shallow-tillage implements started in the 1980s when we adopted minimum-till farming and full stubble retention to rebuild our soils and reduce water erosion risk,” he said. “In the early days we used prickle chains to knock down the stubble, and by the early 2000s we had developed blunt disc chains for stubble mulching. “Using the chains with clients in New South Wales, we saw they were very effective for managing summer weeds that had escaped herbicide treatment.”

The Kellys were also responding to herbicide resistance in annual ryegrass on their own farm. Their initial strategy was to use the blunt disc chain to stimulate weed germination immediately after breaking rain in autumn, followed by a double-knock treatment ahead of seeding. Having a large, uniform flush of weed germination results in maximum herbicide efficacy as compared with staggered germination that usually occurs after a rainfall event. “In 2012, we developed sharp discs that can interchange with the blunt discs and be used to kill the weed seedlings, including crop volunteers, that germinate after using the blunt discs,” he said. “We still had big swathes of ryegrass germinating because there was no suitable harvest weed seed control tool at the time. The weeds would all come up at once, and we could then reduce our reliance on knockdown herbicides by following up with the sharp discs when seeding.” He found this strategy provided at least five or six weeks where the crop could establish in a weed-free environment. The farm grows crops on 18-centimetre row spacing and sows at high-seeding rates to ensure crops are as competitive as possible. “In the first few years of stubble mulching, we saw evidence of nutrient tie-up in the crop,” he said.“Now the system is working well, the soil organic matter has increased and the nutrients cycle quickly.”

Fitting agriculture into debate 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

uch media attention was given to the first election debate between Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese.

You’re probably not aware, there was another debate: The Rural Press Club debate between Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud and Shadow Agriculture Minister Julie Collins in Canberra. You’d be forgiven for not having heard of Ms Collins. She’s held the shadow agriculture portfolio for less than a year and is from Tasmania, so not likely to yet have ventured into your patch. She also appeared at the National Farmers Federation Conference the week before and gave a prima facie adequate performance.

It’s a tough gig against the, ‘I’ve been everywhere, man’, David Littleproud who could talk under wet cement and is the leader-in-waiting for The Nationals if, or when, Barnaby Joyce exits stage right. Agriculture is not a natural fit for many Labor MPs and it’s not front-ofmind for the Federal party. Sure, there are key regional seats – but in mining areas or seats that Labor can’t win. Julie Collins has not yet been able to come up with a new policy specific to agriculture, other than the $500-million reconstruction fund announced before the election was called. She has said some significant announcements for agriculture would be made later in the campaign, but in the meantime, she’s left with criticizing the Coalition for ‘inaction on climate

Country Today with Libby Price

change, crippling worker shortages, and a severe timber shortage’. Anthony Albanese has hinted at allowing working visa-holders to stay in Australia, but it is still a ‘watch this space’ in the closing weeks of the campaign. So, what did Mr Littleproud offer during the debate? He said he was ‘proud to announce a $75-million Future Farmers Guarantee’ for loans of up to 40 percent equity for new properties capped at $1-million’.

Yet when I spoke to him on ‘Country Today’, he admitted that it wasn’t new funding, rather a, ‘reallocation out of the funding from the Regional Investment Corporation’. Mr Littleproud’s other claim was: ‘The biggest infrastructure spend in our nation’s history: $21 billion. Never before has a Federal Government invested so much in regional Australia.’ It might be, though I doubt that in real terms. The big catch here is it’s targeted to marginal seats in the Hunter Valley, Queensland, and Western Australia. No mention of Victoria. So how did he respond? “What Victoria needs to understand is the existing program will continue,” he said. “These are going into regional areas that have issues with their industries changing, traditional industries

having to transition – read mining, particularly coal – but it’s also about where a significant portion of that is around water infrastructure. “And unfortunately we need the states to play with us on this and Victoria has said there are no dams to be built in Victoria.” I made mention earlier of Barnaby Joyce, Nationals Leader. The closest he’s got to Victoria is a quick stop at Yarrawonga last week. It will be interesting if he makes it any further south. It’s no secret he’s not much liked by the state Nationals, and there’s no love lost with Federal Nationals MP Darren Chester in Gippsland. I’m betting he’ll spend much of his time pressing the flesh in those regional areas north of the border that his party needs to win if it’s to stay relevant to the Coalition.

Add your voice to the conversation

t’s election season and our senses are being bombarded by the collective ‘noise’ of politicians, and aspiring politicians, telling us why voting for them will make our life better. At times I’ve wondered if democracy is the best way to govern a nation. So often we seem to be bogged down by a combative process – one where scoring points against a perceived opposition is the main game; a process where no-one seems interested in effective and informed discussion. It becomes more about politics and less about developing good policy. I used to travel to China regularly. You couldn’t help but be impressed how a focused government had lifted so many of its people from poverty. Cities of five to 10-million people were modern, bustling centres. People lived a relatively free life and, just like us, focused on building a better life for themselves and their children. Was this a way to govern? A system that gets things done. Lately I’ve gone a bit cold on the idea of autocracies and we’re now seeing the downside. First there was China’s crackdown in Hong Kong, followed by heavy-handed economic coercion aimed at a number of trading partners and now Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. In the end, the singular power corrupts. Best we stick with democracy. So how do we make it better? Should it be so difficult to have a national conversation about the issues important to our future?

Project Platypus new site launch 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Project Platypus Landcare network will celebrate its move to a new headquarters in Stawell with a 3pm launch on Friday. The network, which oversees volunteer Landcare groups across the Wimmera’s upper catchment, is now based at 9 Ormston Road. Project Platypus program and team manager Allistair Stephens said he looked forward to the gathering. “We are thrilled to invite all the people that we have worked in partnership with over the years to improve the environmental health of the upper Wimmera catchment while maintaining and improving productivity,” he said.

In 2017 we had an effective national discussion about marriage equality. It was a highly controversial issue with interest groups in full flight – arguing their view. So we had a postal vote. Everyone had their say, we made a clear informed decision and we moved on. Is this the way to get the focus back onto policy, not politics? We can’t have a postal vote on every issue, but we could for the big stuff. Climate change, housing affordability, manufacturing capability – all significant national issues that need decisive action. Yes, discussion about these issues are part of the political debate but, again, the noise of partisan politics and narrow-interest groups can drown out discussion aimed at developing good policy. One thing is clear: The need for everyday people to be a bigger part of the conversation. Voting once every three or four years isn’t enough. Feeding our thoughts into conversations with friends, family and colleagues, into the organisations we’re members of and the people we meet does matter. In Australia, governments will listen to the voice of the people. How lucky we are.

Target lifts Larger, electrified models to help drive growth

azda will use its new double-digit CX range of SUVs to push its US sales to record levels within the next four years.

it was once comparatively small. In the US in particular, Mazda’s range overhaul – led primarily by larger, increasingly electrified SUVs – is predicted to boost sales by up to 35 per cent, or 450,000 unit sales, by 2026. But Automotive News cautions that Mazda’s ambitious growth gambit is not without risk. It says Mazda has been aiming for annual US sales of at least 400,000 units per annum since 2013, but has so far failed to reach that number. In fact, Mazda’s US sales record of 379,843 units was set in 1986. The success of the company’s samey portfolio is reliant upon a thin R&D budget, new digital marketing techniques, an overhauled retail network, an expanded factory footprint, faster,

Automotive News says the slow-andsteady move upmarket is part of an internal tactic known as the ‘inchworm strategy’ which, with each model’s series redesign, will see base entry prices of respective ranges locked in step with the outgoing series, while prices of new-generation models will be higher because of their upmarket packaging. The strategy already appears to be well underway. Higher transaction prices and a ‘premium push’ have helped the Hiroshima-based brand to take forward steps in markets in which

more efficient product development techniques, the help of Toyota, and ‘a big dose of electrification’; meaning the outright success of the Mazda machine would be dependent on many moving parts. Furthermore, Mazda’s SUV-only approach risks diluting its public identity and such a burst of new product and drivetrain offerings might also be a crippling burden for a small company. “Mazda has made some inroads to improve perception of brand position,” principal analyst at S&P Global Mobility, Stephanie Brinley, said. “The Mazda premium push is less about a traditional luxury definition than it is about the attention to detail in design and development.

Customers may not be sure what to turn to Mazda for. Mazda’s global positioning is not as strong as some other brands and offering regional utility vehicle solutions and regional powertrain solutions may not improve that scenario.” But, with a number-two spot on the important Consumer Reports brand report card in 2022, and a new US factory delivering as many as 150,000 vehicles annually the goal of achieving 450,000 unit per annum sales by 2026 seems well within reach. The company grew its US sales by 19 percent last year to secure a 2.2 percent share of the overall market and, with three new SUV models waiting in the wings, it’s expected the

brand will continue to build that momentum. Model-based development, where several products are leveraged from a single platform, is further expected to help Mazda’s cause, as are larger engines and more premium offerings in a market where both are considered an effective foothold. “US market requirements are very simple,” Mazda senior managing executive officer Yasuhiro Aoyama said. “When they become more affluent, they require a more expensive vehicle with high output. So, we would like to pay respect to this tendency to prepare higher-output vehicles and a higherpriced portfolio. It’s a very simple correlation.” – Matt Brogan

New-look design set to debut

he BMW X7, which introduced the world to the brand’s oversized version of the double-kidney grille, now sports a horizontally split LED lighting signature that endows the Munichbased brand’s upper large SUV with a better proportioned frontend design. The revised model debuted at the New York Show and, according to BMW Australia, it will be introduced here – in xDrive40d and X7 M60i xDrive guises – at the end of year. Although the cosmetic update looks quite dramatic, the changes pertain mostly to the front of the car, where the familiar composite headlight clusters have been substituted with horizontally split LED lighting elements. The slimline upper modules house daytime running lights and turn signal indicators, while, below them, the adaptive matrix LED headlights – with non-dazzling high beam, adaptive light distribution, as well as front fog-light functionality – have dark housings and are embedded in the BMW’s bumper. The large kidney grille gains an Iconic Glow illuminated grille on the M60i xDrive, which is optional on the xDrive40d; while the rear end features new LED tail-light clusters with threedimensional graphics and a glass-

covered chrome bar. BMW has also updated the model’s M Sport package. Sparkling Copper Grey metallic has been added to the X7’s exterior colour palette, with M Marina Bay Blue metallic paint available exclusively for the M60i xDrive. Plus, optional 23-inch light-alloy wheels are available ex-factory for the first time on a BMW model. Inside, the X7 still seats seven occupants as standard, but, as before, can be specified as a six-seater with two comfort seats in the second row. The front of the cabin is characterised by a new 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, slim air vents, an

ambient light bar on the dash fascia includes LED backlit graphics with X7 lettering – or the M logo, in the M60i xDrive, as well as a redesign gear selector. The 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system runs on the BMW Operating System 8. As well as four-zone automatic climate control, panoramic glass sunroof and hi-fi system, the standard equipment list includes front comfort seats, leather-trimmed sports steering wheel and a new tray for wirelessly charging compatible mobile phones, BMW says. Highlights of the options list include

the Sky Lounge panoramic glass sunroof illuminated by LED units, the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System and newly designed Travel & Comfort System, active seat ventilation and a massage function for the driver and front passenger and, if the new Comfort Package is specified, the second and third row seats can also be heated, as can the steering wheel rim and the front armrests. Every powertrain in the revised X7 line-up now includes 48V mild-hybrid technology and a crankshaft-mounted starter generator that’s integrated into the vehicle’s transmission, which, BMW Australia says, is a first for

BMW vehicles offered in our market. The 259kW 3.0-litre six-cylinder inline diesel engine in the xDrive40d can produce up to 720Nm of torque with the assistance of the mild-hybrid system, while the range-topping M60i xDrive’s twin-turbo 4.4-litre petrol V8 produces peak outputs of 390kW and 750Nm. All engines are mated to an eightspeed Steptronic Sport transmission, in combination with steering wheelmounted shift paddles, and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The adaptive two-axle air suspension is complemented by electronically controlled dampers, while the new M60i xDrive comes standard with Integral Active Steering, the Executive Drive system with active roll stabilisation and an M Sport rear differential. In terms of safety equipment, the X7’s front-collision warning system offers an extended range of functions, while an exit-warning function has been added. Moreover, additional driver assistance features have also been added to the package, including Parking, standard in Australia, Trailer, Reversing and Manoeuvre Assistant. Pricing and specs of the updated variants will be announced closer to the time of their arrival, BMW says. – Matt Brogan

UPDATE: A revised upper-large SUV will arrive in Australia from BMW later in the year.

Toyota to reintroduce alternatives

oyota is tipped to return its venerated 67-year-old Crown nameplate to the market – and it will be offered as an SUV in the United States.

A report by Reuters, and citing company sources, says the Crown will replace the Avalon sedan and the LandCruiser SUV, the latter with a ‘large SUV that would come initially as a hybrid’. It is understood the new Crown will be based on the Japanese-market Crown sedan and will be exported to China and North America with sales to commence in 2023. A battery-electric version is due to follow in 2024, while a plug-in hybrid variant will be sold in the Japanese domestic market only. Confusingly, at least one variant of the redesigned Crown sedan – expected to be a performance hybridpowered version – will also go on sale in the United States later this year,

where it will compete with the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Genesis G80, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and similar sedans, a source told publication Automotive News. The US-based publication said it believed the Crown SUV would slot in above the newly introduced Toyota Sequoia SUV – which is based on the 300-series LandCruiser and Tundra pick-up. But it was unclear on whether the model would offer two or three-row seating – or the option of both. Interestingly, the Crown was the first car Toyota exported to the United States in 1958, however, the model was withdrawn from sale two years later because the engine couldn’t meet the speeds required to travel on North American freeways. The model has remained a staple of the Toyota range elsewhere ever since, and in its 15th generation is one of Japan’s strongest-selling models. It was a popular model with taxi op-

There seems no end to Tesla’ momentum – the Californian-based electric vehicle producer has set another quarterly delivery record despite ongoing market challenges. For the first quarter of 2022, Tesla delivered 310,048 units – 68 percent more than it achieved in the same period of 2021. The production figures included some 295,324 Model 3 and Model Y variants, while the remaining 14,724 comprised of Model S and Model X variants. By contrast, Tesla produced 180,338 units between January 1 and March 31, 2021. Money Transfers chief executive Jonathan Merry said it was an outstanding result. “Tesla’s Q1 2022 performance is

more impressive considering the testing environment it has been operating under,” he said. “It has had challenges with supplies and the closures of its Shanghai plant. “One would expect these to impact its numbers; if it has, it’s minimal, which speaks volumes of Tesla’s resilience.” Tesla appears to stand alone in the US market where competitors including GM, Audi and Kia are in decline. General Motors delivered just 457 electric vehicles in Q1 2022 and recalled thousands of its Bolt electric models due to battery issues. Conversely, BMW reported marginal gains in US sales across Q1, while Hyundai reported a massive 241 percent increase in the sale of its battery-

DON THE CROWN: Toyota will offer Crown sedan and SUV models in the US as replacements to the Avalon and LandCruiser respectively. erators with Crown Comfort models built between 1995 and 2018. Second-, third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth- and seventh-generation Crowns were sold in Australia between 1964 and 1988, the ‘original’ MS45 series and third-gen S50 produced from CKD kits by Australian Motor Industries, AMI, in Port Melbourne from 1967.

Later generation Crowns were fully imported. The Crown was replaced locally by the Cressida in 1988. The latest S220-series Crown is offered in Japan with rear- and all-wheel driveline configurations and with a choice of petrol and petrol-electric hybrid powerplants. The four-door sedan is built on Toy-

ota’s GA-L platform, which also underpins the hydrogen-powered Mirai, and Lexus LC and LS variants. The Crown nameplate is also used as a high-end sub-brand of Toyota in China, where it is offered in both SUV, Crown Kluger, and MPV, Crown Vellfire, variants. – Matt Brogan

electric models. Money Transfers says much of the production slowdown in the United States remains attributable to supply-chain bottle necks and microprocessor shortages related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the prices of raw materials, including aluminium and nickel, plus Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, are taking their toll on BEV production. In the United States, these and other factors have led to new-car price hikes and a modest downturn in sales, but the publication says Tesla has weathered the storm better than most. Money Transfers says the new Tesla facilities in Brandenburg and Gruenheide, Germany, and Austin, Texas – along with its corporate headquarters

move to Austin, Texas, are ‘pivotal’ parts of the firm’s expansion plans and will work to further ‘solidify Tesla’s market dominance’. Locally, year-to-date sales of Tesla’s Model 3 set a record in the first quarter of 2022. The American company sold 4417 examples of its mid-size five-door model, bolstering strong March sales of 101,233 units – an increase of 1228 units on the same period last year. The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, FCAI, says those numbers point to an indication of Australia’s post-pandemic economic recovery. It says the addition of Tesla and Polestar to the monthly VFACTS report brings some much-needed ac-

curacy to its recording of electric vehicle sales. FCAI chief executive Tony Weber echoed the sentiments of Money Transfers, saying manufacturers across the globe are working hard to match supply with demand. “This is historically a unique time in which supply rather than demand is determining the size of the market,” he said. “This is due to manufacturers recovering from the pandemic-related shutdowns and the ongoing global shortage of micro-processing units. “Consumer inquiries and demand for new cars remain strong. Manufacturers are working hard to match this demand with supply.” – Matt Brogan

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONS

Light

Is light a particle or a wave? Well both. Light is fascinating. It moves quickly, can dispel darkness quickly, move around objects, and give both light and heat all at once. It is essential for life on earth, and is made up of the colours of the rainbow. Galileo first attempted to measure the speed of light by placing himself on the top of one hill and his assistant on top of another hill, and measured the time it took for the light to travel from the flash of the assistant’s lamp to when he received it. The time was so quick, that Galileo concluded that it was much above our reflex time. Since then, accurate measurements have discovered that light travels at an amazing 3x108 ms-1. Jesus aptly uses the metaphore of light to describe Himself. There is a mystery that surrounds our knowledge of the intrinsic properties of light, and the intrinsic dual nature of Jesus, Son of God and yet Son of Man. Jesus, being perfect in every way, took the dark sins of this world to the cross, to set us free from our sins and give us the light of life. Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whosoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) Light can drive away darkness, and darkness can never touch the light. Jesus can drive away the darkness in our life, and give you hope for a future. Suzie McDonald, Seventh-day Adventist Church - Horsham, Stawell & Nhill

Wimmera hockey season set to start W

BY SIMON KING

immera Hockey Association’s 2022 season is set to hit off on Saturday, with Dimboola club hosting a full round of matches on the artificial turf at Dimboola Health and Fitness Centre.

After last season’s disappointment, with only 10 rounds played and the finals cancelled, the Wimmera’s hockey players are keen to take to the field again, eager for a full and uninterrupted season. This year, the association’s six clubs will all field teams in each of the open, women and under-16 competitions, except for Dimboola, which is only fielding an open team. In addition, all clubs will be represented in a popular under-12 development program. Most teams start the season as unknowns, with many still finalising their playing rosters, so it will be several rounds before we get a good indication of how they will all perform in 2022. Perennial champions, Yanac Tigers, dominated last year’s open competition by winning all 10 of their games, with the Warrack Hoops not far behind. These two have played off in eight of the last 10 grand finals, so all eyes will be on them to see if this rivalry will continue. Lower on the ladder, only two wins separated the Dimboola Burras, Nhill Rangers, Kaniva Cobras and Horsham Hurricanes, so subject to off-season player movements, any of these could emerge as a serious contender. Yanac also dominated the women’s division and will again be the team to catch, but Kaniva was on track to qualify for its first-ever grand

final when last season was abandoned and will have the incentive of some unfinished business from 2021 to spur them on. Nhill Thunderbirds and Horsham Jets filled the remaining places in the top four and should be competitive again. Warracknabeal Women return after not fielding a team last year, and although being in a rebuilding period, they will have the freedom from expectations that might just allow them to spring some surprises if any opponents choose not to take them seriously. The under-16 competition is always challenging to predict, as forced personnel changes due to older players moving to the senior ranks will give most teams a very different look from last season. Yanac Warriors were undefeated in this competition last year, and regardless of player changes, they always tend to be towards the top of the ladder. Horsham Bombers were closing in on their first grand-final appearance in two decades last year, so the early interest will be in whether they can recapture last year’s form and realise that potential. Nhill Leopards, Kaniva Raiders and Warrack Revengers should all be in the mix again after only half a win separated them at the end of last season. The under-12 development program will not start until round two, with its timeslot on Saturday filled with the association’s annual meeting and presentation of the trophies from last season.

SHINING: It was a tough day at the office for Volleyball Horsham members Tim Carter, above, and Jack Exell, right, who played in Volleyball Victoria premier men’s competition. Playing for Phantoms against the top two teams Melbourne Uni Renegades and Eastside Hawks, the two showed promise for games to come, especially with the Victorian Country Champions scheduled in six weeks’ time.

Swifts probing for promising start S

BY DEAN LAWSON

wifts will look to consolidate an early lead in Horsham District football this weekend when they take on wounded Natimuk United at Natimuk on Saturday.

The Baggies, sitting on top of the ladder ahead of Harrow-Balmoral by percentage, have rekindled their reputation as a rough, tough and uncompromising outfit. They meet the Rams having secured points from the opening two rounds. Swifts were too good for KanivaLeeor United last week, celebrating the 300th senior game of Nick Pickering with a 77-point win. The Baggies gradually overtook the Cougars at Stawell’s North Park, kicking five goals in the second, third and final quarters respectively and in the end had 27 more scoring shots than the visitors. Pickering featured prominently in his milestone game, alongside Ryan Folkes, four-goal Ben Davis and Zac Armer. Kaniva-Leeor United now takes on Taylors Lake this weekend at Kaniva in a game where both sides would be desperate to break the ice. Hamish Bennett, Noah Hannagen and Tyson Mitchell were the Cougars’ best against Swifts and the team will be hoping to capitalise on generating more opportunities in front of goal.

Taylors Lake crashed badly against Pimpinio last run, falling short of victory by 78 points despite the efforts of Andrew Cameron, Trae Martin and Billy Finnigan. The result would have swelled the Pimpinio’s confidence stores and the Tigers will need all and more when they confront Harrow-Balmoral at Harrow. Pimpinio would be intent to lift its standing in the competition this year but needs to show what it can do against benchmark outfits. Jack Baird, Noah Jacobsen and Dylan Thomas were in the thick of the action last week and a variety of players kicked goals. Harrow-Balmoral has a reputation of having the best playing group in the league and showed off its strength by pulling away from arch rival Kalkee in a big second half on Saturday. The Roos led at every change at Kalkee but put the foot down with a 10-goal-to-two second half to win by 56 points. Simon Close kicked five goals as Nick Pekin, Michael Close and Peter Staude led the charge. Kalkee will need to regroup for what looms as a massive game against Rupanyup, again at Kalkee. The clash between the two also represents an old rivalry and the Kees, while Simon Hobbs, Harvey Gunn

MAJOR MILESTONE: Nick Pickering, who celebrated his 300th senior game with Swifts last week, had his children Charli, 8, Bobby, 4, and Torah, 11, join him for a guard of honour. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER and Alexander Smith were good last week and Isaiah Adams kicked another four goals, will need a big effort to win. Rupanyup produced an overwhelming second half to trounce Laharum last week and alongside Swifts and the Roos, is also unbeaten. Laharum led the Panthers at half time last week before the home side kicked seven and eight goals in the third and final quarters respectively. In the end the margin was 76 points. Jack Kreuzberger and Blake Turner both kicked six goals in the win and

shone alongside Daniel Schaper and Jordan Weidemann. Winless Laharum has to now pick itself up for another tough encounter, this time against Jeparit-Rainbow. The Demons, with Shannon Argall, Brett Ervin and Hayden De Graaf leading a best-player list last week, meets a Storm team fresh from a narrow and satisfying victory over Edenhope-Apsley. Jeparit-Rainbow, trailing at every change at Edenhope, had to come from behind to clinch an 11-point victory.

Clancy Breen, Kieren Parnell and Shane Maslin shone for the winners, while Jay Kirwood kicked five goals. Edenhope-Apsley needs to rebound against a Noradjuha-Quantong team that smashed Natimuk United on the back of a 13-goal Brock Orval haul. Noradjuha-Quantong, humbled in the opening round against Harrow-Balmoral, hit back hard on Saturday, beating the Rams by 122 points. James Hallett, Dawson Cross and Damian Cameron were other key conspirators in the onslaught that started with a 12-goal second term. Natimuk United watched their eastern neighbour pull away to a big result but had Zachary Smith, Dylan Bates and Jarred Combe standing up as good players in the loss. The Edenhope-Apsley and Bombers game at Quantong should be a ripper.

This week: Harrow-Balmoral v Pimpinio at Harrow, Kaniva-Leeor United v Taylors Lake, Laharum v Jeparit-Rainbow, Natimuk United v Swifts, Kalkee v Rupanyup, Noradjuha-Quantong v Edenhope-Apsley. Last week: Pimpinio 17.15 (117) d Taylors Lake 5.10 (40), Noradjuha-Quantong 25-20 (170) d Natimuk United 5.13 (43), Harrow-Balmoral 20.5 (125) d Kalkee 9.15 (69), Swifts 16.25 (121) d Kaniva-Leeor United 6.8 (44), Rupanyup 18.13 (121) d Laharum 7.3 (45), Jeparit-Rainbow 12.9 (81) d Edenhope-Apsley 11.4 (70).

Kees netballers start run up ladder BY MICHAEL SCALZO

orsham district netballers head into round three of competition on Saturday with the league mid-table continuing to hot up after two rounds of play.

Kalkee, after a round-one victory against Kaniva-Leeor, backed it up again in its round-two match against Harrow-Balmoral, beating the Southern Roos 46-24. The win and its margin might be a surprise – not because Kalkee came away with a win against a strong Harrow-Balmoral side. Rather Harrow-Balmoral’s grudge match against Noradjuha-Quantong in round two demonstrated the Bombers and the Southern Roos, as they were in 2021, hope to chase each other all the way to the top-three again this season. Kalkee’s win against HarrowBalmoral perhaps suggests punters should add the Kees to a short list of clubs that could match it with an again dominant Laharum. The Kees should start favourites against Rupanyup this weekend and it might take until Kalkee’s roundfive matchup against Jeparit-Rainbow for them to be challenged again this season. A Harrow-Balmoral side that would not have taken the defeat without disappointment will face a Pimpinio

UNITED: Taylors Lake’s top netball side ran onto the court last week with three sets of sisters in its team for a bout against Pimpinio. From left, Isabelle and Harriet Overman, Emmy, Hannah and Lilly Weir, and Chloe and Kayla Kelm play in Taylors Lake’s B Grade side, with the club not fielding an A Grade side in 2022. Picture: RAELENE JOHNSTON team fresh from a three-week break. It was another tough weekend for Rupanyup after Laharum handed it a second convincing defeat of the year. The Demons defeated the Panthers 72-34 in a match Laharum was expected to win. Laharum will host Jeparit-Rainbow

at Cameron Reserve this weekend in what should be a test of the Storm’s surge capabilities. The Storm, which beat Edenhope-Apsley 46-34 in Edenhope last weekend in what was the Saints’ first game of the year, might yet still prove to be another mover-and-shaker club

of 2022. An ever-improving Natimuk side faced a COVID-19-hit Bombers side and held a younger-than-usual team to 51 goals. The Bombers took a chance to blood under-17 goal-attack Ella Netherway who had an opportunity to learn from experienced team-mates.

The Rams still did well to close the weekend out 29-51. The Rams entered 2022 without the help of several experienced players and have started to see some early positive signs of the club’s emerging netballer depth. They remain a side with significant up-side if its junior talent could stick together in coming years. Natimuk will host Swifts on its home court this Saturday. Kaniva-Leeor claimed a hard-won victory over Swifts last weekend for its first win of 2022. And after a 2021 campaign ladder climb, the Tigers would hope this win was a continuation of that re-emergence. We will have to wait to find out more because Kaniva-Leeor sits out this weekend for this season’s impromptu bye round. Last week: Noradjuha-Quantong d Natimuk 51 to 21, Kalkee d HarrowBalmoral 46 to 24, Laharum d Rupanyup 72 to 34, Jeparit-Rainbow d Edenhope-Apsley 46 to 34, Swifts d Kaniva-Leeor 40 to 37. This week: Harrow-Balmoral v Pimpinio at Harrow, Laharum v Jeparit-Rainbow, Natimuk v Swifts, Kalkee v Rupanyup, Noradjuha-Quantong v Edenhope-Apsley, Pimpinio bye.

REFLECTION: Horsham Saints and Horsham players line up in a show of respect before an Anzac Day clash at Horsham City Oval.

Pictures: PAUL CARRACHER

Dominant Wimmera sides emerge BY MICHAEL SCALZO

immera league teams will settle into the season’s rhythm this weekend with normal fixturing returning after a run of standalone public-holiday games in the opening two rounds.

The traditional Horsham clash between the Saints and Demons headlined Monday’s Anzac Day schedule with a night match at Horsham City Oval. The Saints with their young side, took up the Demons’ challenge in the first quarter and hit the first huddle with a two-point deficit, before the Demons stretched their legs in the second to lead by 33 at half time. The game held firm during the third as the Saints outscored the Demons three goals to two, before the Demons kicked out with a late-game barrage to take the win by 58 points. Demons experience helped put a young Saints side to the sword as big man Josh Mibus contributed six majors while Josh Geue had three by the end. Young Demon Rhys Barber claimed the prestigious Bert Perry Medal. The Demons welcome Dimboola to the city oval this weekend. The Roos would hope a short matchday turnaround would hamper an early-season Demons charge. They will be searching for a win after a narrow loss to Minyip-Murtoa last week.

BREAKING CLEAR: Horsham Saints player Nathan Byrne puts ball to boot during Monday’s traditional Wimmera league Anzac Day clash against Horsham at Horsham City Oval. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The Burras led at every change and started the final quarter 29 points in front before time got the better of a last-quarter Roos surge that produced five goals to two. Minyip-Murtoa will host Warrack

Eagles this Saturday in Murtoa for what should end in a Burras celebration. The Eagles got their season going last week against a rampant Southern Mallee Giants after a round-one bye

and an Easter break handed Warrack an extended preseason. The Eagles were unable to capitalise on the extra preparation time though, as the Giants claimed a 76-point win. The Giants’ 21-goal haul also in-

cluded a brilliant eight-goal-to-one third quarter including a bag of five for Josh Webster. Ararat was ruthless against Nhill last week and Rats key forward and reigning best and fairest Tom Mills proved to be the main man with nine goals by the time the Alexandra Oval siren called time. The Rats’ 119-point win was not necessarily a stain against Nhill but more evidence Ararat has brought the right players back to the club. Ararat heads to Coughlin Park this week for a Horsham Saints rendezvous, while Nhill will host last week’s bye-team, Stawell.

Spirited effort from Horsham sides W

immera netball force Horsham will turn its attention to Dimboola this weekend after scoring a comprehensive Anzac Day victory over Horsham Saints.

The Demons beat the Saints 54-36 under lights at Horsham City Oval with Horsham’s Georgie Carberry winning the first commemorative Ivy Delany Medal. The clubs struck the medal for the player who best presented an example of Anzac spirit during the A Grade contest. Horsham will have a short turnaround after the Monday encounter when it takes on the Roos, but should bounce back strongly. Dimboola will be on the rebound after a 33-43 loss to Minyip-Murtoa. Roos coach Ant Toet would have come away from last week’s match with some areas for her team to work on and won’t be easy to get past. Emily Polack and youngster Holly Ross will have their work cut out for them but will be determined to make it tough for Horsham goalers. Horsham has considerable depth and the Roos will need to stop the likes of sisters Georgia and Ally Hiscock, Carberry, Grace Manserra, stepping up from juniors, and Jedda Heard. Minyip-Murtoa will confront Warrack Eagles, also determined to se-

cure points after a 29-52 loss to Southern Mallee Giants. This will be an interesting match and provide a good indication of how the season might develop. The Eagles had their first hit out last week which should have cleared any cobwebs and will be looking to improve this week. Minyip-Murtoa is coming off a confidence-building win and its goalers Lucy Brand and Maddie Morgan should have a good match up against Kiani Stewart and Grace Morrow. Another rebounding outfit, Horsham Saints takes on Ararat with the Rats coming into the round after a strong win over Stawell and a week off to recover. Saints midcourter Ashlee Grace will need to stop the dynamic duo of Jess Taylor and Jesse Bligh. Horsham Saints defender Elly Barnett, who celebrated her 150th senior game last week, will need to shut down Ararat’s accurate shooters Tayla Borrelli and Delaney McLoughlan. Southern Mallee Giants and Stawell have byes. This week: Minyip-Murtoa v Warrack Eagles at Murtoa, Horsham Saints v Ararat, Horsham v Dimboola. Last week: Southern Mallee Giants d Warrack Eagles 52-29. Minyip-Murtoa-Murtoa d Dimboola 43-33, Horsham d Horsham Saints 54-36.

Magpies early leader in Mininera district league Some big wins in the opening round of Mininera and District Football League saw Wickliffe-Lake Bolac secure an early place on top of the ladder. At the same time, LismoreDerrinallum managed to get on top of last year’s minor premier WoorndooMortlake. It was a close game between Lismore-Derrinallum and the Tigers with only two points separating the two at three quarter time. However, it was the Demons who were able to run away with the contest in the final quarter, kicking six goals to one. Liam Rigby was the best for the Demons while Charlie Brett and Brodie Doolan also had good games. The team will want these players to

stand up again this weekend when it plays Moyston-Willaura. Moyston-Willaura had a tough start to its 2022 season with a 12-goal loss to Hawkesdale-Macarthur. The Pumas trailed from the start and despite the efforts of Ned Bohner, Luke Walker and Patrick Frawley they were unable to prevail. They will be in for another big game this week but will hope to get off to a better start. With both coming off similar 13goal wins last week, Ararat Eagles will host SMW Rovers. The Eagles started off their season with a convincing win over Penshurst with Ben Robertson, Jaydo Wright, Jackson Taurau and Naish McRoberts all contributing to the victory. They will be keen to keep the mo-

mentum rolling this week in their first home game against the Bulldogs. Rovers came out firing on all cylinders right from the start in their match against Great Western and a 10-goalto-one second half that put the game beyond doubt. David Box did his job up forward booting four goals for the winners, while Matthew Mulcahy and Shane Lench kept the team steady in the back line. Saturday’s match will be important for both the Eagles and Bulldogs to secure early points. In other games for round two, Caramut hosts Woorndoo-Mortlake, where both teams will be keen to get their first win of the season, Wickliffe-Lake Bolac travels to Dunkeld to take on

Fisher returns to the track in style S

clock in 23.40 seconds with Bullying for Garry George making it a local trifecta. If astute form judges followed this trifecta of local dogs into the Saturday night race meeting they would have required a security guard to help escort them from the track as all three dogs were victorious. Quinnish made it two wins in five days, this time scouting the field to hit the lead 50 metres from home, then it was a matter of time and margins, the clock stopped at 23.47 seconds and the margin was five lengths. Summer Alarm again displayed electric early speed opening a substantial lead and she wasn’t going to be run down this time, winning by two lengths in the impressive time if 23.37 and providing Shane with his second winner in five days. Well done Shayne on a fantastic effort and great return. Bullying for Garry George completed the trifecta with an impressive turn of foot after hope-

BY PETER CARTER

hayne Fisher has returned to the ‘lead and collar’ of training with a bang, landing winners at Horsham greyhound race meetings last week.

Fisher, based at Warracknabeal, first struck with his young maiden Weipa breaking his maiden status at start number five in the first event on April 19. Weipa worked his way to second in the early stages of the race and on finding the lead set up a race-winning break to hold off fast-finishing Brightly Staring by three quarters of a length in the time of 23.81 seconds. Shayne came close to making it a winning double when Summer Alarm showed great early speed in the last race of the evening, leading to the shadows of the finishing post before being run down by another local Quinnish for Pat and Cliff Smith. Quinnish spotted Summer Alarm a large break turning for home and was extremely strong in the run to the line and stopped the

lessly missing the start from box eight, Bullying circled the field and turned for home in front and finished well clear in the time of 23.36 seconds. Magnis Bale for Bill and Helen Hartigan was the other local highlight on the Tuesday program returning to the winner’s circle. Beginning well and working hard to hold his forward position entering the first corner by the time he exited and swung for home, Magnis had assumed complete control and gave nothing else a chance and stopped the clock in a smart 23.44. Got My Star gave Garry George a winning double on the Saturday night program taking out the 485-metre Maiden event. Got My Star flew the lids and opened up a sizeable margin entering the first turn. That margin extended on turning for home and she went on to record a fivelength victory in 27.45. Ian Bibby’s Crymelon Ivy punched on well for second to produce a local quinella.
