Growing needs B

BY JESSICA GRIMBLE

uilding activity in the Wimmera and southern Mallee must double during the next decade to meet the demand of an increasing population.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said future building activity also needed to suit the needs of residents – with a particular increase in lowmaintenance, one to two-bedroom properties. Census data has shown the population of the Wimmera and southern

Mallee increased 0.5 percent per year between 2016 and 2021 – which was the first population increase in at least 40 years. This equates to more than 1200 people in five years, which is about the size of Donald – the region’s seventh-biggest town. Mr Sounness said the region needed to add about 200 new dwellings per year to its housing stock to meet forecast future demand. He said this ‘housing revolution’ needed to reflect a reduction in household sizes – at 2.22 people per dwelling in 2021 compared with 2.4 in 2006 – and recognise that 20 percent

of dwellings in the region were one to two-bedrooms, while 70 percent of households in the region were defined as one to two people. “The data tells us we need a home that’s designed for two markets – those over 65 and for younger people, 20 to 30 years-old, who need a fit-forpurpose, low maintenance unit or villa that heats and cools very easily. We have far less of these homes than the rest of the state,” Mr Sounness said. “Homes in the Wimmera and southern Mallee are traditionally a bit cheaper. “When larger homes become avail-

able, it allows families to move in, which leads to more children in our schools, more demand for services and facilities, which allows our towns to grow.” The Wimmera and southern Mallee refers to the Horsham Rural City, Northern Grampians, Yarriambiack, Buloke, West Wimmera and Hindmarsh shires. Mr Sounness acknowledged the challenges facing the building industry as skills and materials shortages and rising costs challenge businesses. An emerging Wimmera Development Association initiative will aim

to attract more tradespeople to the region. “We want to attract more young people into the region – to offer them a facility to set-up a business, offer them mentoring and wrap-around services so they are supported in the transition from tradie to business owner,” Mr Sounness said. “Finishing work by 3.30pm and skiing, bushwalking or rock-climbing by 4pm is a hidden secret among the trades community in the Wimmera, and it’s incredibly attractive for many people.” • Call for assistance, page 2

‘Profitless boom’ BY JESSICA GRIMBLE

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has called for State Government assistance for the building sector.

Her calls come after the collapse of Hotondo Homes in Horsham last week. The company attributed external pressures facing the construction sector as cause for the action. It is the second Hotondo Homes franchise to be placed in administration this year. Ms Kealy first raised concerns about an impending industry crisis a year ago, when she spoke in State Parliament about timber and other product shortages and related cost increases. She noted how the government’s winding down of Victoria’s sustainable timber industry had caused an over-reliance on imported products, which were impacted by supply shortages. She said the situation had gotten worse. “All you have to do is drive around any regional town to see how much the building sector really is struggling,” she said. “It is upsetting to see Hotondo Homes Horsham go into administration. “It is something no-one ever wants to see happen to any business, and is devastating for the local family operators, the local employees who have lost their jobs, the local businesses left out of pocket, and the local families who are now uncertain

about the future of their homes. “Whether it was the endless lockdowns after the outbreak of COVID-19, staff and labour shortages, or shortages of materials and supplies – it’s fair to say that the building sector is one industry that definitely has not recovered.” Ms Kealy said it was ‘crushing’ for residents and builders. “The government must step in to support these businesses and give them and regional families some hope when it comes to not only their livelihoods but building their forever homes,” she said.

Long wait times

John Mays of Mays Builders said shortages of materials such as structural pine, insulation and plaster had eased, but wait times for other materials such as laminated beams were up to six months. “There are huge rises in costs. Cost rises across the board could have been 15 to 20 percent – so something you price today, then wait for six months for materials, means the price is nowhere near what you’ve quoted,” he said. “I’m lucky my clients are very understanding and they realise it’s out of their control, out of my control and if they want the job done, they need to accept it, or it’s not going to happen.” Mr Mays said there were also long wait times for some trades and services. He said demand for build-

ing projects remained high, though rising interest rates had appeared to impact new house builds. Ararat-based EW Bulte offers hardware, timber and paint services. Owner Peter Walker said wait times for materials had eased, but sizes of certain materials could be challenging to access. “Prices have been going through the roof. Every time you get something, the price has gone up,” he said. “But we are still busy. There are not as many customers, but we are still doing the sales we were at the same time last year.” Master Builders Victoria, MBV, chief executive Rebecca Casson said most builders were experiencing challenges. “We are calling it a profitless boom,” she said. She said MBV was advocating to the government to include ‘rise and fall clauses’ in domestic building contracts to protect builders amid unforeseen price increases. “Many builders in the residential sector have signed fixedprice contracts,” she said. “Unlike other products like fuel and food, these unforeseen price increases cannot be passed on to consumers. “If builders cannot pass increases onto clients, there is a risk of insolvency, and clients might end up with half-finished homes.”

Seth full of hope for fundraiser Horsham’s Seth Rolins-Winfield is raising money for his family to be able to modify a car that will accommodate his wheelchair, by selling his art. The Horsham Primary School student has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which affects one in 3500 live male births. The disease causes muscles to break down, leading to progressive difficulty with walking and general mobility, and later on, affects breathing and the heart. Seth opened an exhibition at JRS Workshop, Horsham, this month, with his artworks available to view and purchase. He said he enjoys creating art and thought it would be good to sell it so others can enjoy it. “The exhibition is a fundraiser for a car that will fit the chair I use,” he said. “Using the chair is a little bit how I thought it would be. I’m pretty good at it everywhere but at home. I’m not very good at reversing.” Seth said he was hoping to do another exhibition in the future, but also has aspirations to become a police officer when he grows up. Seth’s mother, Courtney Rolins, said raising $20,000 would ensure the family could buy the car necessary for wheelchair accessibility. “NDIS will do a modification to a Kia Car-

nival, but the car has to be less than five years old and have fewer than 80,000 kilometres for them to do it,” she said. “We’ve been working hard and Seth started doing art at home for about a year before coming to JRS. It has helped him come out of his shell and find new ways to make art.” Ms Rolins said Seth became fully reliant on the wheelchair in 2021. “When he started having to use the chair all the time he wasn’t doing well and didn’t want to go anywhere,” she said. “It’s his only way around, so on nice days we motor around and otherwise we have to use a taxi. When it comes to going to Ballarat or Melbourne we use the manual wheelchair, but I can’t lift him anymore and it limits me when he doesn’t have his electric wheelchair.” Shaine Hobbs manages JRS and met Seth last year. “I encouraged him to come down and we have introduced our art styles,” she said. “This place is for people with disabilities, to do what they choose to do with art. “Seth is the first exhibition here. I want more local artists to be able to use the space.” Seth’s artwork is available at 81 Firebrace Street, Horsham.

Wimmera River events drive economy BY JESSICA GRIMBLE

ajor Wimmera River events have attracted more than $800,000 to the Wimmera economy in the first-half of the year.

A Wimmera Development Association and Wimmera Catchment Management Authority study found the Horsham Fishing Contest in March, with 1031 competitors among 1753 attendees, generated more than $500,000 in economic activity for the region. The study found the three-day Peter Taylor Memorial Barefoot Water Ski Tournament and Night Jump at Dimboola in February, with 2200 attendees, generated more than $185,000; while the Jeparit Fishing Contest at Easter, with 648 attendees, generated more than $105,000. The study of the economic con-

tribution of the three events, called ‘Economic value: Selected Wimmera River events 2022’ and led by consultants Street Ryan, is part of an ongoing broader assessment of how weirs, lakes and rivers contribute to the economic and social integrity of the regional economy. The study has been underway for the past six years. Wimmera Development Association project manager Mark Fletcher said the longitudinal study gave key decision-makers and stakeholders critical information to plan for future tourism, recreational and infrastructure facilities. He said the study demonstrated local and regional impacts, which helped to attract state and federal government funding for future projects. “These reports continue to show the considerable contribution that the recreational and environmental water

sites make to the region,” Mr Fletcher said. “It cannot be underestimated, the significant impact that these sites and events make to the region’s economy and the flow-on mental health and wellbeing of our communities as COVID-19 restrictions eased.” Wimmera CMA chief executive David Brennan said the study showed the value of an integrated approach to managing ‘critically important’ environmental assets. “We work to maintain healthy rivers and streams – often through the complexities associated with limited access to precious water during a series of dry years,” he said. “What’s important is that this is as much about looking after people, communities and liveability as it is about protecting and improving aquatic and riverine ecosystems – environ-

mental health works hand-in-glove with socio-economic vibrancy. There is no better example of this than in the Wimmera. “The Wimmera River system is a vast arterial network from its source in the Pyrenees to the terminal lakes of the southern Mallee and represents the lifeblood of many communities.” The 2022-23 instalment of the ‘Wimmera Southern Mallee: Socioeconomic value of recreational and environmental water’ study starts in November. It will engage with recreational water participants, committees of management, sporting clubs and other groups involved in recreational water activity. The State Government’s Water for Victoria program, via the Wimmera CMA, will fund the study. Previous instalments of the study

have provided important information supporting capital investment and grant applications of about $10-million. Organisations such as the Wimmera CMA, GWMWater and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning have used the study’s findings for future planning; while GWMWater has used results when planning allocation of pipeline water to recreational lakes and weir pools. People can read the previous studies via www.wda.org.au. Wimmera Development Association is the peak advocacy body behind many major, emerging projects in the region. It supports businesses, promotes economic development opportunities to investors and is a key link between industry and governments, lobbying for improved infrastructure and for regional priority issues.

Station making ‘the switch’

LEARNING MILESTONE: Horsham Primary School’s foundation students Clara Barklay, Isabelle Stephens and Paige Schultz have donned glasses, pearls, slippers and even a walking aid to celebrate 100 days of schooling.

Ararat is about to welcome a new era of radio broadcasting. The ACE Radio Network will transition its 3WM AM station to FM frequency next month. Listeners in the Ararat district can tune into 96.1FM after August 12. The Morning Rush, Neil Mitchell, Country Today, The Coodabeen Champions, Sportsday, AFL Nation, The Shirtfront, Local Football Live and all regular programming will broadcast with a clearer and stronger signal for listeners. ACE Radio Network content director Adam Roche said ‘the switch’ had been a long time in the works. He said a weekend of celebrations would mark the change. Mr Roche will broadcast his show, Adam in the Afternoons, from 1pm from the network’s Ararat offices in Barkly Street, next to Ararat Town Hall. ACE Radio Network owner Rowly Paterson, general manager Brendan O’Loughlin, Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison and deputy mayor Bob Sanders will join Mr Roche to flick the switch at

2.30pm. A special broadcast of The Coodabeen Champions begins at Ararat RSL from 4pm. “With the town celebrating 150 years of the Ararat Football Netball Club across the weekend, we will be broadcasting our local sports show, The Shirtfront, from the town hall, where their gala event will take place in the evening; before heading to Alexandra Oval to call the match between the Ararat Rats and Horsham, as part of Local Football Live,” Mr Roche said. “Making the switch from AM to FM is a significant event, and we are delighted the Ararat region will be the first to experience our heritage station, 1089 3WM on the FM dial.” General manager Brendan O’Loughlin invited people to join the celebrations. “This is the result of a lot of hard work from our technical department who have been working tirelessly to make this happen in the background,” he said. Listeners in other areas of the region can continue to tune into 1089 3WM.

Mode Shift Incentive Scheme essential

She said guaranteeing the MSIS for at least three years would provide more certainty in the Wimmera’s rail freight capabilities and encourage more local companies to opt for rail over road. “The subsidy has been steadily reducing since 2014 when $5m was offered to the four operators,” she said. “Unfortunately, for potential exporters, one-year extensions to the scheme may not provide enough long-term certainty for them to be able to make the shift to rail. And we know there are significant export projects proposed for our municipality that are now looking at their transport options. “The beneficiaries of this scheme go far beyond the intermodal terminal operators,” Cr Gulline said.

Monitor’s role ‘effective immediately’ A

BY JESSICA GRIMBLE

governance and finance expert will seek to ensure Horsham councillors understand and exercise their statutory role and responsibilities.

Local Government Minister Melissa Horne appointed Jude Holt to the role on Friday for a period of six months – until January 31, 2023 – effective immediately. Ms Holt, of Wedderburn, is a finance and governance professional with 30 years of experience – including senior positions at Loddon Shire Council for 20 years, three years at Mount Alexander Shire Council and two years at Coliban Water. She is a board member of GWMWater. As a municipal monitor, Ms Holt will observe governance processes and report on issues, provide advice

to the council and make recommendations to Ms Horne for further action. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline and chief executive Sunil Bhalla made a formal request to Ms Horne last month to appoint a monitor following concerns with governance practices. Ms Horne announced her intent for the appointment three weeks ago. A terms of reference for Ms Holt’s appointment states she will monitor the governance processes and practices of the council, with regard to the key areas of concern identified in communications from Cr Gulline and Mr Bhalla. These concerns include the councillors’ understanding and performance of their roles, including the adequacy of a councillor induction program and any ongoing professional development opportunities; the council’s councillor code of conduct, councillor behaviour with respect to the code,

and processes for resolving disputes between councillors; and meeting procedures and decision making, including councillor attendance at council briefings, the adequacy of governance roles and councillor adherence to the rules. The concerns also listed the council’s policies and procedures relating to managing conflicts of interest; the chief executive’s policies and practices to manage interactions between councillors, staff and contractors, and compliance with the policies; the council’s policies and processes relating to the health and safety of councillors and staff; and any other governance matters. “Municipal monitors have a track record of proven success in assisting councils and we look forward to seeing Horsham Rural City Council shift its focus to the priorities and challenges facing the local community,”

Ms Horne said. “Jude Holt brings experience, skills and knowledge that will be valuable in supporting good governance, enabling the council to effectively serve the community it represents.” Cr Gulline said councillors were looking forward to the ‘learning opportunity’. “We are a team of seven councillors and all but one are first-time councillors,” she said. “As a team we share a very common goal and that is to do the best we can for our community. “I want to make it really clear this is about education, learning and an unwavering commitment to good governance.” Mr Bhalla said despite Ms Holt’s appointment, the council – including councillors and operations staff – would continue their duties business as usual.

National awards

Opportunity awaits Wimmera residents with an unresolved idea for a community project have a chance to bring the idea to life. Horsham Sports and Community Club is celebrating a major milestone – and wants to give the spoils to the community. As the club prepares to celebrate 30 years, its board has allocated $30,000 towards a major community project, or projects. The idea must have benefit to the wider community, have high visibility and occur within the area the club supports. Projects that benefit specific sporting, community, social or economic groups are not eligible. Club manager Glenn Carroll said the fund could support one, or multiple,

projects depending on interest. “We are looking for the community to put forward their ideas,” he said. “The board will shortlist up to five projects and then our members have a chance to vote on it. “With about 5000 members and a volunteer board of nine, it means there’s a chance for a lot of community members to have their say.” Project nominations can be made via the club’s website at www.hscc.org. au and close on August 31. Members will vote on their preferred project idea between September 14 and October 4, with the successful applicant, or applicants, announced at the club’s annual general meeting on October 10.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy had expressed frustration late last week at the government’s lengthy process to appoint Ms Holt. Ms Kealy first contacted the state government a year ago with concerns about governance processes at the council. “Horsham Rural City ratepayers need and expect a functional council that maintains the highest standards of governance and accountability,” she said. “There have been a number of issues the council has not been able to resolve internally, and every day we wait for a monitor to be appointed is a missed opportunity for council to start getting back to what it has been elected to do – pave a strong future for the Horsham Rural City community.” Darebin, Moira and Wodonga are among other Victorian councils with municipal monitors in place.

Not enough workers

SLIP AND SLIDE: The region’s sporting codes battled wet conditions at the weekend – including young boundary umpire Jackson Notting. Jackson was retrieving the football in the Mininera and District league game between Great Western and Hawkesdale-Macarthur at Great Western when he was caught on camera. Bureau of Meteorology data shows Stawell aerodrome recorded a soaking of about 33mm of rain between Saturday and midday Tuesday.

Important connections T

he agricultural community is welcoming the return of several important events on the annual calendar.

This week’s bumper edition of The Weekly Advertiser celebrates the Mallee Machinery Field Days, which makes its much-anticipated return next week. After a long absence due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors are preparing to travel north for the field days, staged in a paddock between Speed and Turriff and in its iconic circular formation. The event, on August 3 and 4, will raise significant funds for local community groups. It’s the first field days event, between both the Mallee and Longerenong’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days, since the eve of the pandemic in March 2020. The Mallee field days will come just days after Sheepvention in Hamilton, which begins on Sunday – an important annual event for those in the western districts and beyond to discuss innovations and trade, meet producers and growers and compete

EDITORIAL By Jessica Grimble

in the coveted annual sheep showing competitions. In turn, the events come a fortnight after Wimmera and Mallee sheep studs and shearers returned home triumphant from the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo. The accolades gained from such outings for businesses and individuals can attract significant financial and social benefits. The social and economic value of such events, generally, are well documented and widely discussed. After two years of lockdowns and restrictions amid the pandemic, the re-emergence of such events seems extra important and special. Our farming community is well-versed in working independently and somewhat

isolated from others regularly – such is the nature of living and working on the land. But the pandemic has reminded us all of the importance of social connection; of sharing experiences and stories and a laugh. Of building and maintaining relationships and rapport. A report was released last week into Victoria’s pandemic management inquiry – and it delivered a scathing analysis of the impacts that lockdowns had on mental health. The report said restrictions and isolation contributed to a significant increase in demand for and awareness of mental health and wellbeing services. Mental health service beyondblue says demand had reached record levels during the pandemic and remains higher today than before March 2020. While the pandemic is far from over, social opportunities such as the Mallee Machinery Field Days offer people a chance to reconnect, reintegrate, re-energise and ultimately, experience ‘normality’ and the joys of rural and regional life. That’s good for everyone.

In every town across Mallee it’s the same story. Not enough unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled workers. In fact, this story is being heard throughout the country. In May, job vacancies in Australia reached a record of 480,000. Labor shortage is not a new problem, especially after COVID, but all options need to be on the table to meet the serious demand. The government needs to pull all the levers already at their disposal. Desperate small business owners throughout the Wimmera tell me of their devastating struggle to find workers. People are working unsustainable hours to keep their head above water, farmers are struggling to attract labor, tradies have long wait times and we all know if you need a doctor you will wait weeks for an appointment. It’s really tough. While there is no silver bullet, there are certainly moves we can make to alleviate the burden of workforce shortages. First, the visa system needs to be simplified and processing needs to be expedited. I’ve been calling for this for some time. Streamlining the visa system will make Australia more competitive in the global skills market. As the Business Council of Australia’s chief executive, Jennifer Westacott has said, we

COMMENT with Dr Anne Webster

need to ‘outcompete others in the fierce global battle to attract the best talent and skills’. We also need boots on the ground for the unskilled roles. Which is why Labor’s decision to scrap the Ag Visa – all but in name – is baffling. On an encouraging note, more than 21,500 workers have arrived in Australia since the Pacific Labour Mobility Scheme began after COVID in May 2022. The Coalition in office worked hard to attract these workers in. Second, we must increase investment into home-grown skills. Under the Coalition, a record 220,000 Aussies were in trade apprenticeships. The budget that the Coalition delivered earlier this year supported an additional 800,000 training places for school leavers and job seekers. It’s now up to Labor to build on that. It is pleasing that Federal Skills Minister Brendan O’Connor supports the Coalition’s two-fold approach to workforce shortage through migration and investment in trades and apprenticeships. Now, Labor must deliver on their plan.

“I’ve had a very good life,” he said. Ian and his family celebrated his 100th birthday and many life achievements on July 19. He was born at his home, Leura Park at Wallup, to Alexander and Ethyl McRae and grew up with four younger siblings, Greg, Anne, Ron and Beth. Ian attended Wallup State School until he was 14, before working on the farm. “It was the middle of the Depression and there was no way of getting to the high school and because there were no buses in those days, it was either board in town or leave school, so I left. “I worked on the farm and drove a horse team in those years; it’s a bit different now because you press a button and the machines pretty much drive themselves.” At 19, Ian joined the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War. “I was a pilot in the air force for four years – I never went out of Australia, I trained as a bomber pilot and then I got dobbed in for instructing,” he said. “I trained at Noradjuha at first, on Tiger moths, and then at Point Cook and the rest of my training and teaching was at Mount Gambier. “Now I’m involved with the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre, and I flew one of the Avro Ansons. I’m the only one around that did, I think.” When the war ended, Ian returned home to continue working on the farm and married Janet Thomson. “The best thing I ever did was marry Janet 74 years ago,” he said. “I think the first time I recognised her was when she did her debutante ball at the Dimboola High School, and then we kept communicating during the war. We got married in 1948 and have three children, Robert, Alison and Pam.” Ian and Janet have seven grandchildren, Cara, Alexander, James, Monica, Julia, Eva and Hannah, and eight great-grandchildren. “He is the most wonderful husband, now I’ve realised, although I’m not sure I knew the whole time,” Janet said. “I would have been in care by now if it hadn’t been for him.”

Janet and Ian McRae Janet said Ian was never one to be idle and was always busy, which is evident in his many years of community service. “I spent 21 years as a councillor on the Wimmera Shire and we didn’t get paid in those days, it was just community service,” Ian said. “I was a member of the Dimboola Rotary Club for 36 years, spent about 24 years on the Dimboola Memorial Secondary College Council and have been a member of the Dimboola Masonic Lodge for 60 years. I’ve always been quite happy to do that sort of thing.” Ian was a founding member of Wallup Pipe Band and piped for 70 years, until he was 87. To round out his years of community service, as a farmer he was a long-time member of the Victorian Wheat and Woolgrowers Association and later the Victorian Farmers Federation. Sport is another love of Ian’s as he played football, tennis and golf, and he still gets out on the bowling green now. “I worked the farm and then Robert, my son, took over. I handed it over when I was about 80. I still go out there and do a bit of poking around,” he said. “I never miss sport on Saturday. I played football for Warracknabeal and then Wail started a team and I spent one year there and then two years at Kalkee before the rest of my time at Dimboola. I still follow Dimboola and my grandson Alexander plays for Horsham Saints, so I barrack for him when he has the ball and for Dimboola when they have the ball.”

Extended family celebration Walter Lardner has celebrated his 100th birthday. Mr Lardner was born on July 26, 1922 – the son of Walter Lardner and Clara Lardner, nee Streeter, of Carnegie, Victoria. He had a younger brother Donald Albert, who predeceased him. However, Don’s wife Lois Lardner and their surviving children Vivian, Richard and Rosalind visited him from Queensland and Canberra for his 100th birthday. Merne and Walter were married at St Johns, Malvern, on April 27, 1946 with Merne wearing a wedding gown she and her employer Lucy Secor of Melbourne designed and made. Walter had joined the army in 1940 aged 19. He suffered numerous injuries during active service, from which death was predicted, but his stoic constitution kept him going. Walter then commenced as an insurance underwriter in Bourke Street, Melbourne, continuing there for 31 years. Then followed children Cheryl, Desmond, Marilyn, Stephen and after a 15-year gap, Simon. They built a home at Boronia where they were active parishioners of St Paul’s Anglican Church. As a trained lay minister, Walter also took church services. As the family expanded, Walter built a 40 percent extension on their home, in an era before electric saws and pre-cut timber studs. He purchased a book on building before commencing, and only built on weekends, but finished the project with more bedrooms, a rumpus room, laundry and an inside bathroom. The family had wonderful holidays camping annually at Dromana, then McCrae with no hot water at the toilet blocks in those days. Times at Natte Yallock with cousins on their farm out rabbiting and fishing led him to thinking about a farm life. Many of those cousins all

In that year he moved to St Arnaud to their dream farm with Simon and Merne. Walter bought a book on farming and soon began a new career in the country and grew award-winning wool and quality fat lambs. Merne had a productive vegetable garden, and periodically had turkeys and pigs. Merne continued to do her knitting, crocheting, embroidery and hand spinning from homegrown fleece. Many of her garments were knitted for Walter, Simon and their continuing growing number of five children, nine grandchildren and now seven great grand-children. Seventy guests and family travelling from places including Canada, New Zealand, Queensland and Canberra celebrated with lunch at Craig’s Hotel in Ballarat, a family lunch on his birthday with celebrations to conclude at a church service at St Arnaud Anglican Church on Sunday, followed by morning tea.

Mavis celebrates milestone today M

BY ABBY WALTER

avis Jarred is one-of-a-kind. She was the first woman to drive a semi-truck in Australia and today she celebrates her 100th birthday.

Mavis says while life had not been easy, she would not trade it with anyone. Holding hands with her husband Neville, Mavis reminisced about her 50-year truck driving career in their home at Nhill, ahead of her birthday. “I started driving trucks at 19 years old after I married my first husband, Ivan Rethus, at 18 years old,” she said. “I was the first woman to cart wheat to the Miram silo after it was built. “I loved the transport driving, it was one of the best parts of my life.” Mavis said after spending time working on a farm between Kaniva and Yanac, and later at Diapur, she and Ivan purchased the Central Café in Nhill, located at the site of the pharmacy in 2022. “We had the cafe for two years, but being off the farm we hated it and sold it to go into the trucks,” she said. “In that time, we were the first to introduce the idea of dipping ice cream cones in chocolate to the area.” Mavis said Ivan had a friend who owed him money but could not pay him back, and instead they took his truck as payment. “It was an old Ford, and we did quite a lot of miles in that before we brought a grey Leyland Beaver in 1954, and that’s when I really started driving,” she said. “We then brought a red Leyland Beaver secondhand in 1956, so Ivan drove that one and I drove the grey one. “I’ve carted sheep from the Western Australia border right up to Queensland and the Northern Territory and the other side of Melbourne.” Mavis and Ivan had four sons, Terry, David, John and Wayne. “Wayne and John spent a lot of time in the truck with me – I would put them to bed in the back and away we’d go,” she said. Wednesday, July 27, 2022

“I only ever heard swearing twice in all the years that I drove trucks. It was like I was mother to half the boys who used to drive trucks, they all used to call me mum. “I think that’s an honour because it looks like truckies would be ones to put someone down, but they didn’t with me, they treated me as if I was one of them and I had their respect.” Mavis said her first husband died when he was in his early 50s. She later married Neville in 1974. “Neville has been a pretty good husband. We don’t fight and we’ve been good together,” she said. “There is 20 years difference in our age and when we got married, the town said that will never last – but they didn’t know us.” Neville said Mavis was a very determined character and cared for everyone she met. “She sympathises with people no matter what, it’s in her nature,” he said. “We’ve had a ball together. We have done a fair bit of travelling around and we’ve enjoyed our own company and done what we wanted to do, and even been around Australia a couple of times with a caravan.” Mavis said together with Neville they owned a tyre store for some time, before getting back into driving trucks. “We brought a truck and were carting fruit from Adelaide through to Nhill and up to Mildura,” she said. “We also carted offal from Nhill to Keith and we had our truck on gas, so we’d have to fill up in Keith because there was no gas around here. “When we had to fill up here, we’d have to use a big gas bottle, tip it upside down and breathe it into the tanks, which took some time.” Mavis retired in 1993 at 71 years old and was inducted into the Road Transport Hall of Fame in 2010. She now spends time working on her word book to keep her memory sharp, spending time with Neville and keeping track of her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Great Western project ‘one step closer’ A

NEXT STEP: From left, Northern Grampians Shire councillor Murray Emerson, Great Western Football Netball Club secretary Kerrie Ryan, council infrastructure director Trenton Fithall, club president Tracey McCartney, Cr Lauren Dempsey, club bar manager David McCartney, Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford, Cr Trevor Gready, Cr Kevin Erwin and club vice-president James Gooden.

new Great Western Football Netball Club pavilion is on the horizon, with government contributions boosting the sporting club’s funds for the project.

Club president Tracey McCartney said the new facilities would mean a lot to the club into the future. “We are the only football-netball club in town and our changerooms and facilities were not compliant or satisfactory,” she said. “With more juniors coming through Auskick and NetSetGo, the pavilion wasn’t big enough. “It’s important to have a nice space for our club and the community.” The State Government committed $1.5-million and Northern Grampians Shire Council allocated $460,000 for the project. The community has contributed a further $40,000 towards the $2.4 million total project cost. Mrs McCartney said a Federal Government contribution, courtesy of a council application, would cover out-

standing costs of the redevelopment. “With the State Government money and the council and club contributions, we should be able to get the project up and running as we wait for a final grant,” she said. The existing clubrooms and amenities do not meet AFL, Cricket Australia and Netball Victoria standards, particularly changeroom accessibility requirements.

The proposed works include a function room extension and upgrade; female-friendly and accessible change rooms and toilets; new trainers and medical room; umpire room upgrade; an office and storage area; undercover spectator area extension; and a kitchen, canteen and bar refurbishment. Cr Murray Emerson said the funding significantly accelerated the project beyond the initial concept de-

The Red Series back on calendar Winemakers from the Grampians and Pyrenees will share the region’s finest wines this weekend with the return of The Red Series in Ballarat. The event, at Ballarat Mining Exchange on Saturday, celebrates winter with a showcase of red wines which are popular for their full flavour and warming qualities during the cooler months. Other wine varietals and produce will also be offered and live music will entertain patrons. Twenty-two of the best cellar doors will be on show. Grampians wineries include Mount Langhi Ghiran, famous for a cool climate shiraz; Fallen Giants, which last year won the coveted Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy for Best Young Red; and Best’s Wines, home to some of the oldest vines in Australia. Blue Pyrenees Estate, Bigibila and DogRock Winery are among the Pyrenees region’s representatives. Event manager Kate David said patrons could purchase a ticket for one of two sessions – from 11.30am to 2.30pm or 3.30pm to 6.30pm. “We are delighted this event has continued to grow over the years,” she said. “With the inclusion of some of Victoria’s extraordinary wine producers, fabulous music and more food offerings than ever before, we expect 2022 to be the best year yet for The Red Series.” Ms Davies said tickets were available TOP DROP: Grampians winemakers Fratin Brothers will be among vendors at The Red Series in Ballarat online via events.humanitix.com/redthis weekend.

ahead to make this long overdue pavilion upgrade a reality for Great Western sporting groups and something the whole community can be proud of.” Mrs McCartney said the redevelopment would also benefit the wider community. “We host a lot of funerals and wakes in the facilities, as we are the only group large enough to handle the catering,” she said. “We need a bigger and nicer space for those sorts of events as well.” Mrs McCartney said the council had been ‘fantastic’ in working towards the project and applying for external funding. “The Northern Grampians Shire Council is pushing for all sporting groups in the municipality to have compliant facilities,” she said. “We also have new netball courts and new lights for the courts and the oval, which is great.” Mrs McCartney said the pavilion build was likely to start following the end of the 2023 season.

Returning to its roots New-generation model to launch soon

issan will debut its newgeneration Pathfinder SUV range in Australia later this year, priced from $54,190 plus on-road costs.

This makes it $50 cheaper than the entry point to the now-defunct previous generation model range. The Nissan Pathfinder will compete directly with rivals including the Hyundai Santa Fe starting at $45,550 plus on-road costs, Kia Sorento at $47,650, Mazda CX-9 at $46,250 and Toyota Kluger at $47,650. With seating for up to eight passengers, new technology and safety features and an entirely revised exterior design, Nissan says the Pathfinder marks a return to the model’s rugged roots without compromising on modern luxury or on-road comfort. Powered by Nissan’s proven 202kW340Nm VQ35DD 3.5-litre petrol V6

and paired to a nine-speed torque converter automatic transmission – with front or all-wheel drive available – the Pathfinder is offered with Nissan’s Pro-Pilot semi-autonomous driving system on ST-L grades and above for the first time. All-wheel drive models are offered with a new direct coupling four-wheel drive system Nissan says allows torque transfer directly on the clutch pack using oil pressure, allowing for confident and immediate take-off in low-traction scenarios. The four-wheel drive system offers driver selectable modes including Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud-Rut and Tow. Braked towing capacity for the Pathfinder is listed at 2700-kilograms and is backed by a trailer stability program as part of the vehicle’s electronic stability control system. The Pathfinder is further enhanced

by Nissan’s new dual-pinion electric assisted steering set-up it claims provides sporty and engaging feedback to the driver. The Pathfinder rides on a MacPherson strut, front, and independent multilink, rear, suspension arrangement and is stopped by four-wheel disc brakes. The Nissan Pathfinder range begins with the ST two-wheel drive priced from $54,190 plus on-road costs. It includes what Nissan says is a comprehensive safety package from the Nissan Intelligent Mobility Suite. This includes a rear-view camera with in-built parking sensors, a 9.0inch infotainment touchscreen, a 10.8inch head-up display unit, a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, native satellite navigation, LED dusk-sensing headlights with high-beam assist, 18inch alloys, an eight-way powered driver’s seat and EZ Flex latch-andglide seating adjustment.

Like all Pathfinder variants, the ST offers wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto connectivity, DAB+ digital radio reception, four USB charging ports and two 12-volt auxiliary power outlets. The first all-wheel drive offering in the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder range is the ST-L 4WD, priced from $59,990 plus on-road costs. As stated, the variant is the first to receive Nissan’s Pro-Pilot semi-autonomous driving system with lane keep assist, traffic jam pilot, 360-degree camera technology and moving object detection. The variant is further equipped with roof rails, LED fog lights and a powered tailgate. Nissan’s Pathfinder Ti is the only grade to benefit from the availability of both front and all-wheel drive configuration and is priced from $63,990 and $67,990 respectively.

The variant adds leather-appointed upholstery, rear seat heaters, wireless device charging and a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system among its highlights. Finally, the top-tier Pathfinder TiL, priced from $77,890 plus on-road costs, introduces wrap-around ambient cabin lighting, a panoramic glass sunroof, 20-inch alloys, underbody protection, captain’s chairs in the second row – which takes passenger seating to seven – along with ventilated front seats and a smart rear-view mirror. “The new Pathfinder is both rugged and refined, capable and comfortable, and distils everything Nissan has learned over the model’s proud 30-year history in Australia into one adventure-ready and family-friendly package,” Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson said.

Setting the benchmark

yundai will produce an ‘affordable EV for Europe’ possibly based on the i10 light hatch.

Automotive News Europe, ANE, broke the story in Prague last week, reporting that Hyundai plans to launch a fully electric, entry-level car in Europe. Though no details are confirmed yet, a tiddler-size Hyundai EV might be based on the existing i10 to cut costs using components from the Ioniq electric model that is still available through dealers at $54,600 plus on-road costs. If it was to come to Australia, indicative pricing on an i10 based EV would place it about $30,000 – making it, in today’s market, by far the cheapest EV available. A Hyundai Australia spokesman said the importer has ‘no comment to make’ regarding the Prague revelation. Hyundai’s smallest offering in Australia at the moment is the i20 N hot hatch priced at $32,990 plus on-road costs; but it is a size up on the i10 which has been available in European and Asian markets in the current gen-

eration for a couple of years. ANE reported the South Korean car-maker was developing an affordable, pure EV for Europe that could succeed the petrol-powered i10, but it would take some time to develop a productionready version. Speculation relating to what would power such a vehicle centres around Hyundai’s Ioniq Electric, which is being phased out, but components from which could be re-purposed in an EV minicar to keep costs down. That would mean a 100kW, 295Nm single electric traction motor driving the front wheels and sourcing power from a 38kWh lithium-ion battery that is rechargeable in as little as 54 minutes using a 100kW charger. In the 1540kg Ioniq Electric, a claimed range of 311km is possible; though that would be greater in a smaller, lighter vehicle such as an i10 EV. Hyundai Motor Europe’s marketing chief, Andreas-Christoph Hofmann said of the forthcoming EV minicar: “Automakers in Europe are developing affordable small electric cars as lawmakers tighten emissions regu-

TIP: Hyundai is tipped to release an electric vehicle version of its i10. lations and consumers increasingly switch to EVs.” Volkswagen Group is said to be working on a family of small EVs for its VW, Skoda and Cupra brands with a target starting price of €20,000 or $29,600 Australian dollars. Mr Hofmann said Hyundai’s small EV would have similar pricing. “Everybody in the industry knows the target of this kind of vehicle is 20,000 euros,” he told the Automotive News Europe Congress in Prague.

sales and market share in Europe. Hyundai brand’s sales in the EU, EFTA and UK markets rose 8.2 percent year-on-year through to June in a total market down 14 percent. The brand’s market share increased to 4.7 percent from 3.7 percent, data from industry association ACEA showed. Notwithstanding global supply and transport problems, Hyundai aims to continue to increase its vehicle sales in Europe this year compared with last year and boost its market share.

Mr Hofmann said city cars were tough to sell profitably because of their low pricing and due to the technical problems in electrifying small vehicles. Hyundai will launch 11 more full electric vehicles in Europe by 2030, Mr Hofmann said. “EVs accounted for 16 percent of total sales of the Hyundai brand in the first half of the year,” he said. ANE says the success of its electric range is helping Hyundai to increase

Anticipated redesign arrives

ord has released the most anticipated new model of 2022, the P703 Ranger pick-up, though not all grades are arriving at once.

The first of three redesigned and reengineered versions of the T6 pick-up series to hit dealerships in Australia this year, the Ranger launches initially in higher-series double, or dual, cab four-wheel-drive-only specification, as the Thailand factory source struggles to ramp up production in time to meet runaway demand. With the outgoing Ranger accounting for two-thirds of all Ford sales in Australia last year – and more than 80 percent when combined with the belatedly popular U375-UA Everest – the company’s future likely depends on the success or otherwise of the T6.2 models. However, continuing supply woes, combined with low stocks of other in-demand models such as the Transit van, have resulted in a 25 percent sales slide in the first six months of this year compared with the same time in 2021, putting even greater pressure on Ranger and Everest to fire. “It is very critical, and right now it is more critical, because we haven’t necessarily achieved the supply out of Europe… which has meant our overall numbers have come back,” Ford Australia president and chief executive Andrew Birkic told GoAuto at the recent Ranger launch. “And that makes Ranger and Everest the greater percentage of overall volume. We’re looking for that to improve in 2023, but 2022 is still tough. “Transit is the one we have pretty strong orders in fleet that we’d love to meet, but we just can’t get them right now.” Mr Birkic said there was no silver bullet for the supply woes brought on by worldwide shortages in semiconductors, and that is affecting the P703 rollout on a global scale. A Ford spokesperson said other grades, including the fleet-oriented XL rear-wheel drive two-seater cabchassis, as well as the 2+2-seater Super Cab, will follow in several weeks, while the other two T6.2 models – the U703 Everest SUV and P703 Raptor performance truck flagship – are still ‘on track’ for an August release. On sale now from $35,930 and topping out at $70,190 before on-road

IT’S HERE: Ford has released its new model Ranger, including the Sport variant. costs, the T6.2 Ranger arrives after more than six years in development. Excluding the Raptor, prices rise on average by just over $1100, with the biggest being by about $2000, though the XLT – expected to be the bestselling grade – remains the same. Three body styles are again offered – a two-door, two-seat cab chassis or two-door, four-seat super cab chassis or pick-up as a $2500 option; and four-door, five-seat double cab chassis or pick-up that will set buyers back $4500.

Cabin redesign

Inside, the cabin has been redesigned, with the adoption of a reachadjustable steering column, as well as an all-new dashboard offering a choice of portrait touchscreens, digital instrumentation, revamped storage and an overhauled heater and ventilation system for more effective climate control. Buyers also score new seats and different cabin trim offering higherquality materials. The fleet-focused XL carries on as the base grade, with halogen headlights, vinyl floors, cloth seats and 16-inch steel wheels. It is far from sparse though, with nine airbags including a segment-first airbag between the front-seat occu-

pants, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, lane-keep assist and – on pick-up models – blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert. There is also a digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, Ford’s latest SYNC 4A multimedia system and air-conditioning. Next up is XLS, adding fog lights, side steps, carpet and alloy wheels. Both fleet and private buyers are the XLT’s target, so it gains LED headlights, a chromed grille bar, rear bedliner and illumination, a sports bar and 17-inch alloys. Dual-zone climate control, satellite navigation, keyless entry with push-button start, ‘intelligent’ adaptive cruise control with full stopand-go, traffic-sign recognition and Ranger-first rear-seat air vents are also included. With its darkened visual themes, the Sport is next up the ladder, doubling the number of front tow hooks to two, and offering wireless charging, an off-road screen with four-wheel drive information, leather seats, a powered driver’s seat and 18-inch alloys. Until the Raptor launches in August, the Wildtrak is the flagship, identified by its unique front-end styling, sports bar and tub rails and powered roller shutter. It comes with a trailer

brake controller, zone lighting, ambient lighting inside, a 12.0-inch touchscreen, pull-out cup holders, front seat heaters, a 360-degree camera, active park assist and more.

Under the bonnet

Under that boxy new bonnet are three engine choices, two of which are new to the Ranger. The XL is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder single turbo-diesel. Usurping the old 2.2-litre unit, it makes 125kW of power at 3500rpm and 405Nm of torque between 17502500rpm, and is only available as a six-speed torque-converter automatic, 6R80. From the XLS up is the 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel version of the above, badged BiTurbo. Producing 154kW at 3750rpm and 500Nm from 1750rpm to 2000rpm, it is mated to a completely revised 10-speed torque-converter auto, 10R80. It employs a fly-by-wire mechanism known as ‘e-shifter’. Perhaps the most eagerly awaited single item on the new Ranger is the new 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel. Optional for $3000 extra in the XLT, Sport and Wildtrak, it delivers 184kW at 3250rpm and 600Nm at 1750 to 2250rpm, and also employs the 10R80 gearbox.

The 2.0-litre four-pot Ranger fourwheel drives employ updated versions of the old part-time 4x4 set-up with 4x2 rear-drive, 4x4 low range and 4x4 high range, but the 3.0-litre V6 steps things up with a new electronic on-demand four-wheel-drive system, with full-time four-wheel that varies drive to the front or rear wheels as required. Official combined-cycle fuel consumption figures are down model-formodel, with the 2.0-litre single turbodiesel returning 7.6L-100km. The BiTurbo betters that with 7.2L100km, for 189g-km, while the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel manages 8.4L100km, for 222g-km. The latter is 0.5L-100km better than the old 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbodiesel’s corresponding figure. Fuel tank size remains at 80 litres. Ford’s engineers say the Ranger is more economical than before – including better cooling properties, detailed aero work on and underneath the body, as well as inherently more efficient engines and transmissions. Taking in extensive research from most major markets around the world, the goal was to improve everyday useability, comfort, refinement, safety, durability, on-road driveability, offroad capability and overall efficiency. Everything from the windscreen forward is new, and includes a hydroformed front end to accommodate the V6 engine options. For the same reason, the front tracks are 50mm wider, the front wheels pushed forward by 50mm and overhang is reduced. The all-new front end also allowed designers to increase the width of the front part of the body, broadening the Ranger’s stance for a tougher appearance. The blockier bonnet, larger grille and C-shaped lighting elements were all inspired by the North American F-150 full-sized truck. Design work commenced in 2017. The Ranger’s load area also came in for a rethink. A full-sized Euro palette can now be accommodated in the pick-up, the sides have box caps and load bearing bars for increased practicality and security, there are multiple tie-down solutions for cargo, illumination is improved, a 12-volt outlet is fitted, along with a moulded bed-liner with divider locators, and the weight-assisted tailgate can be used as a workbench.

Collaboration promotes action

oyota will work with allied manufacturers Daihatsu and Suzuki to develop small electric commercial vans and light-duty fuel cell electric trucks as part of efforts to achieving carbon neutrality.

A report published in Automotive News Europe, ANE, revealed the models would be developed for a project to promote the widespread use of electrified vehicles, EV, and eventually for the mass market. The project, which is scheduled to begin in January, will see the vehicles being used initially to transport goods between Tokyo and nearby Fukushima prefecture. About 580 vehicles will be produced for use within the project. ANE reported that Toyota would work closely with Daihatsu and Suzuki to develop small electric commercial vans with the eventual aim of bringing the models to the mass market at ‘a suitable time’. The three companies told ANE they would ‘jointly develop a battery electric-vehicle, BEV, system for minicommercial vehicles’ but added that the project would use ‘Suzuki and Daihatsu’s know-how in manufacturing mini vehicles with Toyota’s electrification technology’. Kei-class minivans are a segment largely specific to Japan where they

the planning process – in developing light-duty fuel cell electric trucks. The use of fuel cell technology, which runs off high energy density hydrogen and emits zero tailpipe emissions when driving, is viewed as a favourable alternative to diesel-powered commercial vehicles. Toyota says fuel cell technology is better suited to trucks that were more likely to travel longer distances as

The project is scheduled to run until March 2030 and is being organised by a Toyota-led commercial EV coalition

with participation from local governments, logistics and energy companies. Toyota continues to pursue a variety of automated, connected and electrified technologies and has committed to accelerating efforts to achieving carbon neutrality with a recently announced US$13.5-billion, or about $19.7-billion Australian dollars, investment in battery development by 2030. The world’s largest car-maker said the funds would be used to develop batteries and associated supply chain technology that would help it to keep pace with competitors in the growing electric car and truck market. Toyota says it wants to reduce the cost of its vehicle batteries by at least 30 percent through a combination of lower cost materials and more efficient manufacturing techniques. It aims to set-up 70 electric vehicle battery production lines by the end of the decade capable of producing 200 gigawatt hours of battery power. Reuters reports that Toyota is specifically focused on producing solidstate batteries, which it plans to use in as many as ‘eight million partially or fully electrified vehicles by 2030’, of which about two million will be BEVs or FCEVs.

CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONS

The path of life



Those who know me, know that my favourite Bible Story is contained in Ezekiel 37. It is a story of how a valley of dry bones were raised and became a great army. To me this is not only a story of hope, but also a story of faith. No matter how far we have strayed, not matter how separated or removed we feel from God, He God has a plan for our salvation. Remember we are made in His image and He declares us to be perfect. To the field of dry bones (us) He says this “I will make breath enter you and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am Lord. The dry bones represented people like us, who had lost their way and were spiritually dead with no hope of vitality. But the good news is that like the dry bones, God can restore any church or any person, no matter how dry or how dead it may be. As a part of your consideration of this, ask the question. What does Jesus give to those who trust Him? Here is what I believe to be true 1. He gives forgiveness of sin, peace with God and restoration free of charge 2. He provides for you eternal life – if you choose to receive it 3. He gives you not only the right, but also the free passage to become a child of God 4. He gives to you – new life, which means that the old you has passed and the exciting new has arrived. He has breathed new life into you, just as He did the dry bones in the valley of the dry bones. God can and will restore you, just give him a go. You have all to gain and nothing to loose. Pastor Terry Dunn - City Heart Church of Christ Stawell Inc

The Role Take responsibility for our compounding division, including hands-on work in the lab, oversight of a technician, stock ordering, communication with prescribers, ensuring VPA guidelines are met and growing the business.

Requirements To apply for the role, you must be an AHPRA-registered pharmacist. Experience in compounding and community pharmacy is preferred but we will consider applicants who are willing to be trained in our specialisations and contribute to our general pharmacy services. Benefits We are offer a base salary of $60 per hour plus super, education and training support. There is opportunity for weekend work paid at penalty rates. The Pharmacy TerryWhite Chemmart Horsham has committed to stay modern and relevant to its community and was first to the local market with many of its services. We have traded in our current site since 2011 and modified the layout over time as new offerings were introduced. We recently amalgamated with Des Lardner Organic, a well-established provider of natural health products and services. Employees take pride in professional presentation, show respect for clients and colleagues and strive for a culture of learning and problemsolving. Pharmacists, including new hires, are encouraged to take risks and show leadership to help improve the business. This role offers the opportunity to build on your existing skills and learn new ones, receiving support from management while also forging your own direction in community pharmacy.

Intriguing scenarios unfolding A

BY SIMON KING

fter 11 rounds of a 15-round season, most teams across the three Wimmera Hockey Association competitions know if they are to prepare for finals.

But there are still several intriguing, albeit unlikely, scenarios that could see the fifth-placed teams make a lastminute run to be part of finals action. With Wimmera hockey returning to the artificial turf at Dimboola on Saturday, for the first time since June, the home team faces a challenging task as it battles to keep its season alive. In open competition, Dimboola Burras are two wins outside the top four, and with a poor goal difference, must win at least three of their remaining four matches to have any chance of playing finals. They face undefeated Yanac Tigers this week. It will take a considerable effort for them to inflict the Tigers’ first defeat since the 2019 semi-finals; but if they are to cause an upset, the late game on their home turf would be the most likely place for it to happen. Horsham Hurricanes are the most vulnerable to lose their place if the Burras find some form, but a victory against Kaniva Cobras this week would relieve some of the pressure. The Cobras need the win to ensure they remain in second place on the ladder, which comes with the ‘second

HOT CONTEST: Sigourney Williams, left, and Ben Williamson play the ball during the weekend’s Wimmera Hockey Association round-11 competition at Dimboola. Picture: SIMON KING chance’ in the finals. Warrack Hoops are on the same points as the Cobras and poised to overtake them if they can score a big win against Nhill Rangers in the twilight game. While the Rangers are out of the running for finals, they are still a team that must be taken seriously as they have the potential to scare the teams above them.

The big game in the women’s competition will see Warrack Women, who went close to a win against Horsham Jets last weekend, take on Nhill Thunderbirds, who return from a bye. A win for the ’Birds will confirm their place in the top four as they will be too far ahead for Warrack to overtake them in the three rounds remaining after this weekend. A Warrack win keeps them with a

mathematical chance of playing finals, although a schedule that has them playing the top-three teams in the last three weeks could conspire against them. Yanac will enjoy a week off after a tough match against the competitionleading Kaniva last weekend, but will remain in second place regardless of other results. The most significant match concerning the make-up of the final four in the under-16 competition will see Kaniva Raiders’ last chance to make a run for the finals if they can defeat Horsham Bombers. But they are another side that will need to defy recent form and win all remaining matches. The Raiders are a young side that continues to put in impressive performances, but the Bombers should be too strong. The other match will see Nhill Leopards take on Warrack Revengers, while Yanac Warriors have a bye. Round 11 results: Open: Dimboola Burras 5 (Goals, C. Baldock, T. Jorgensen, N. Kuhnell, M. Goodwin, T. Batchelor; best, B. Tischler, T. Jorgensen, C. Baldock) d Nhill Rangers 2 (D. Schwarz, R. Reichelt; D. Reichelt, L. Marra, C. Schultz). Yanac Tigers 3 (S. Alexander, B. Alexander, J.

C. Bardell, B. Williamson, R. Brown) d Horsham Hurricanes 2 (P. Mackereth 2; P. Mackereth, T. Leffler, S. Hoffman). Women: Kaniva Women 2 (L. Shurdington, S. Williams; S. Williams, O. Williams, J.

Eilola). Under-16: Horsham Bombers 1 (T. Batchelor; T. Batchelor, L. Simmons, S. Schwarz) drew with Warracknabeal Revengers 1 (S. Williamson; L. Nuske, K. Johns, C. Bennett). Yanac Warriors 4 (L. Farmers 2, R. Croot, H. Pedie; R. Croot, Archie Zanker, L. Farmers) d Kaniva Raiders 0 (C. White, L. Krelle, C. Dodson). Under-12 development program: Horsham Black Hawks 1 (J.

Elliott, H. Toet; encouragement award, W. Hadzig, J. Ward) v Nhill Bandits 1 (B. Clark; encouragement award, S. Albrecht, B. Clark). Kaniva Rampagers 0 (encouragement award, O. Curtis) v Yanac Lowan Stars 1 (A. Cramer; encouragement award, A. Pedie).

New-look teams line-up for winter season opening Amazing play, laughter and fun was the order on Monday night as Volleyball Horsham started its winter season. The juniors had the honour of starting the season with Horsham College team Stars the first-up winners against last season’s premier Murtoa. Sam Mackley, Zane Joseph and Luke Brilliant got the new-look Stars team off to a perfect start with their strong teamplay, keeping Murtoa under constant pressure. The three academy members have gathered some new faces giving the Stars team a decided advantage. Murtoa were well served by Angela Bebero and Charlett Saligari. The second junior game saw Vipers too strong for the young but improv-

ing Phantoms with Bailey Eder and Joel Brilliant playing well for Vipers. Tiffany Petering and Jack Armstrong were the best for Phantoms. In B Grade, Horsham College team Blockbusters kept their noses in front all night in an entertaining win against HTLC Tigers. Tom Milbourne made a welcome return to the court with a strong game and his match-up against HTLC Tigers’ big-hitter Logan Young was the highlight with both boys trading big hits and blocks. Sophie Quick provided Milbourne with great support while Jeidan Young set well for the Tigers. Phantom Masters kept their noses in front of the Murtoa Railway, winning

in three sets, the last two going 25-23, 26-24. Pascall Patterson returned in great form ably supported by Jac Ivess while Bill Lindsay was in everything for the Railway along with Steph Searle. Team USA got the better of Silent Theories winning in five sets. Team USA hit the ground running taking the first two sets comfortably, before Silent Theories hit back hard taking the next two in similar fashion. But when time expired it was Team USA who had the upper hand. Daniel Taylor and John Turton were the best for Team USA while Jason and Eliza Camilleri hit plenty of winners for Silent Theories.

In C Grade, Bingo Biddies were the big winners, scoring a comprehensive win against KFC. The Biddies were well lead by Jordan Newton and the returning Nick Thomson while Breanna Russell and Isaac McPherson tried hard for KFC. The two HTLC teams, Block and Roll and Serve-vivors, played a highly entertaining match with plenty of rallies and unbelievable play. In the end it was Block and Roll who came out on top with Haidyn Young and Noah Werry ever consistent while new player Leah Eilola impressed. Wil Tippet and Oscar Jackman were consistent contributors for the Servevivors. Murtoa Geckos were impressive in

their win against an improving Breakers team. Archie Gawith and Jorja Gardy played well for the Murtoa team, while Amara Crooks and Greta Van tried hard for the Breakers. The A Grade, A Reserve and women’s competitions begin tonight at St Brigid’s College stadium. Volleyball Horsham will still accept team or individual entries in B Grade, C Grade, women’s or junior grades; people can contact info@volleyball horsham.com.au with expressions of interest by next Wednesday. — David Berry

Hidden Fire on fire for Torney S

BY TONY LOGAN

t Arnaud part-owner, trainer and driver Scott Torney was rewarded for his patience on Wednesday last week at Ararat when his eight-year-old mare Hidden Fire notched up her maiden victory in the $7000 Clarke’s Pies three-years and older Trotters Mobile.

Torney took full advantage of the coveted pole draw and rated his charge to perfection at the head of affairs, content with a moderate lead time and tempo through the first half of the 2190-metre journey. Hidden Fire never missed a beat as she went on to score by four metres from Stellar Strut, for Jackie Barker, and Em, for Mark Hayes, in a rate of 2.06.1. Torney acquired Hidden Fire about 18 months ago after she had posted just two third placings from 30 starts for Glen Conroy stable. Her last-start second at Ballarat after two solid fourths served notice of a forthcoming win and finally the stars aligned.

Stable double for Manning

Bendigo Harness Racing Club conducted a huge 12-event program last week and Great Western horsewoman Kerryn Manning landed a stable double, courtesy of Surfingmakescents in the $7000 Hygain two-year-old Maiden Pace and six-year-old gelding The Kingsman in the $9000 fast class TAB NR 57-68 contest. Surfingmakescents enjoyed the run of the race on the back of the leader Chirripo, Laura Crossland, for the majority of the 1650m dash then ran quicky along the sprint lane to overtake the pacemaker by three metres with Joyful, Anthony Butt, a nose away in third after racing outside the leader throughout. Surfingmakescents was bred and raced by

Stawell harness lover Ken Salmon and a large band of co-owners. With a third, second and first from just three starts, the daughter of Vincent and Our Surfer Girl looks to have a promising future. Stablemate, The Kingsman, lobbed into the one out, two back spot after starting from gate two on the second line. Manning bided her time until the bell, easing her charge three wide to sustain a long run to the line. The Kingsman cruised to the lead at the top of the home stretch and strolled home by 10 metres in a rate of 1.56.6 for the 2150-metre trip. Lightly raced due to injury, the Kiwi-bred gelding is winner of six races from 27 starts and five of 13 since ‘crossing the ditch’ to Oz.

Cutty Sark in winners circle

The Charlton combination of Shane and Ryan Sanderson also greeted the Bendigo winners’ circle, courtesy of four-year-old gelding Cutty Sark. The nicely bred son of Somebeachsomewhere, USA, led for most of the journey and scored by 4.5 metres in a rate of 1.56.2 for the 1650-metre sprint. The Birchip crew of the Lowry, Webb, Dillon and Hogan families have raced a number of handy pacers over the years and Cutty Sark, with three wins from 11 starts, looks set to be their next.

‘Lucky last’

It was great to see the Ainsworth stable successful in the ‘lucky last’ at Bendigo with their veteran grey mare Asharah. The seven-year-old mare broke a long run of 37 outs since her last victory, at Swan Hill in May 2021, when posting her seventh win, with 26 minors, at start 121.

SUPPORTERS: Elise Monaghan, second from left, celebrates her weekend win with Adrian, Vicki and Kel Tyler.

Elise storms home to victory On a wet, rainy, dreary day Stawell Amateur Athletic Club travelled to Rupanyup for the Tylers’ Hardware eight-kilometre handicap. Adrian and Kel Tyler both ran the course and Vicki Tyler provided morning tea and an amazing cake for the raffle prize. Adrian finished in just over 40 minutes with a very consisPage

tent effort and Kel crossed the line a few minutes after. The Tylers have been great sponsors and club runners over the years and SAAC runners have enjoyed the scenery of ‘Jack’s Track’. On adjusted handicaps, Elise Monaghan won the race and was the fastest female. Drew Christian finished second and was the fastest male.

Simon Edge placed third and rounding out the field was Garry Saunders. Claire Christian won the sub-junior race with a strong finish ahead of brother Cameron in second place. The next event is on Saturday; meet at 9.30am at Hooper Track crossing on Stawell Rail Trail for a flat 10km. Wednesday, July 27, 2022

Undefeated Eagles rested T

BY JONATHAN BOX

here is set to be some big scores registered when Mininera and District league ladder leaders take on the bottom rungs this weekend.

Ararat Eagles had a week off last weekend, with winning on forfeit against Caramut who was heavily impacted with COVID-19. The week off would have given the Eagles some much-deserved rest and a chance to prepare for the remainder of the season. However this week should be no trouble for the undefeated team when they travel to Moyston to play the Pumas. Moyston-Willaura is yet to win a game this season. Their most recent loss was a 24goal beating at the hands of LismoreDerrinallum. Despite the best efforts of Patrick Frawley, Alex Close and Eric Wilson, the potential outcome does not look much better this week. Second-placed Tatyoon will take on Caramut this weekend. Despite last week’s forfeit, the Swans have only managed one win for the season. Tatyoon, on the other hand, is flying and setting sights on a strong run into finals. The Hawks made short work of

SMW Rovers last weekend when they came out hot and kicked seven goals straight to no score in the first quarter. They didn’t stop there, piling on another 13 goals for the game while the Bulldogs could only manage a single goal. Anthony Rosato and William Henderson once again put in solid performances while Ben Clay did the damage in front of goal, booting six majors. Hawkesdale-Macarthur were eventual winners against Great Western, beating the home team by seven points. Liam Hunter was the leading goalkicker for the victors, with three, while Lions’ Will Clark chimed in with four. In other games, Woorndoo-Mortlake will take on Wickliffe-Lake Bolac after a solid win against Penshurst last week, and Lismore-Derrinallum will be keen for another big win against Hawkesdale-Macarthur. Penshurst will be happy for redemption when they host Great Western, and Glenthompson-Dunkeld will travel to Mininera to play SMW Rovers in what will be an important game for the Rams if they want to stay in contention for fifth spot. Just two competition points separate fifth- and sixth-placed teams at this point of the season.

Purchase debuts for Rebels

After a tough round 12 outing, the Greater Western Victoria Rebels have returned to the winners’ list after defeating Western Jets by 46 points on Saturday. The round-13 game marked a debut for North Ballarat Football Club’s Brayden Purchase, who hails from Nhill. Purchase recorded six disposals for his first game. Brody Pope, Horsham Demons, started in the centre and went on to record 28 possessions and five tackles. The Rebels were leading at every quarter, continuing to increase their lead to win 12.16 (88) to the Jets’ 6.6 (42). The GWV Rebels are sitting ninth on the ladder with six wins under their belts and three rounds remaining in the season. The Rebels are in with a chance to finish in a top-eight position if they continue to perform well. In round 14, the Rebels take on Eastern Ranges, in eighth position, at Mars Stadium on July 30. Round 15 will see the Rebels take on Gippsland Power before a round-16 clash against Geelong Falcons to round out the season.

Fight for finals spot S

BY ABBY WALTER

itting in fifth position, Minyip-Murtoa will have a taste of the level it needs to bring to finals as it takes on top-placed Horsham Demons in round 15 of Wimmera Football Netball League A Grade action.

The Demons continue to be strong across the competition and coming off a close win, will be determined to defeat the Burras. After a bye, Minyip-Murtoa will come out firing on fresh legs and will have to work quickly down the court to combat the Demons’ defence. In round 14, Horsham defeated Southern Mallee Giants by five goals after a close contest all game. Abby White was strong for the Giants in defence and Codie Robins played hard to slow the Demons’ fast movement across the court. With one goal difference at halftime, it remained anyone’s game, before the Demons capitalised on turnovers quickly in the final quarter to take the win. Ally Hiscock was a key contributor to Horsham’s win, while Georgie Carberry moved the ball well and scored 20 goals. In a surprising conclusion,

Stawell was able to get on top of Dimboola for a four-goal win at Central Park. The second quarter was tough going for both teams and the result was 15 goals all at half-time and the teams were again tied at the end of the third quarter. Holly Ross and Olivia Jorgensen combined well in defence for the Roos, but were unable to get on top of a last-minute lead from the Warriors. Molly Orr was strong in wing defence, while Zanaiya Bergen was consistent with 29 goals for Stawell. Warrack Eagles will be flying high after their second win of the season against Ararat. While Ararat secured an early lead, the Eagles came out firing in the second quarter and continued to build on a three-goal lead. The Eagles prevented many scoring opportunities for the Rats in the third term, allowing them to close in on the win. Abby Roberts’ defensive pressure in wing defence was crucial, while Ashlynn McKenzie worked hard through the midcourt for the Eagles. Racquel Scott worked hard in goal defence, while Jessica Taylor

was key in wing attack for Ararat. Ararat will look for redemption after a loss on Saturday, but will have a challenge against Southern Mallee Giants. Southern Mallee Giants have been playing strong netball and will be difficult to match. It will be a close tussle between Stawell and Warrack Eagles, with the Warriors likely to come out on top. Both teams have been giving their opponents a good run all year, but have been unable to convert many wins. This week: Horsham Demons v Minyip-Murtoa, Ararat v Southern Mallee Giants, Warrack Eagles v Stawell, Dimboola v Nhill. Horsham Saints, bye. Last week: Horsham Demons 43 d Southern Mallee Giants 38, Stawell 35 d Dimboola 31, Warrack Eagles 34 d Ararat 27. Ladder: Horsham Demons 42 points, 164.46 percent; Horsham Saints 28, 98.28; Southern Mallee Giants 26, 105.51; Dimboola 22, 89.43; Minyip-Murtoa 20, 97.32; Ararat 16, 93.95; Stawell 14, 90.73; Warrack Eagles 8, 78.93.

Weekend of big margins H

BY ABBY WALTER

orsham District Football Netball League A Grade netball ladder leaders will be gearing up to add another four points to their standing with some big margins expected in round 14.

Top-placed Kalkee will face Natimuk United, which has improved as the year has progressed but will not be able to match it with the Kees. Kees goaler Casey Rentsch will be hard for the Rams to beat in the goal ring after several consistent performances. Noradjuha-Quantong will look to have a successful day against the Swifts, which has been pushing the top sides but has been unable to get over the line most weeks. Harrow-Balmoral will be hoping a win against Rupanyup will push it back into the top six as the fight to the finals continues. A strong Laharum side will be too good for the young Pimpinio team. Kaniva-Leeor United will have to fight hard to get on top of Edenhope-Apsley, which has a tight defensive line-up with Casey Bernhardt and Emily Burgess. Jeparit-Rainbow will not have a

game as Taylors Lake is not fielding an A Grade side in 2022. Storm had a challenging round 13 against Edenhope-Apsley, which started the game strongly and led all game. Sacha McDonald made her mark during her return debut in A Grade for Edenhope-Apsley, with 36 goals. Burgess was crucial for the Saints with her work in defence, while Jeparit-Rainbow’s Rylee Cocks and Penny Fisher worked hard all game. Kalkee was too strong for Harrow-Balmoral, with a six-goal win after the Kees worked quickly in the second quarter to secure a lead. It was an even second half and Kalkee held onto its lead to defeat the Southern Roos. Rentsch was consistent in goals for the Kees with 38 successful shots. Rupanyup had a tough game against Laharum, which severely limited the Panther’s opportunities for goals in the first half. With a considerable lead, the Demons powered through to the final whistle to win by a large margin. Caitlin Story was a key target in goals for Laharum, with 41 goals. Noradjuha-Quantong defeated Natimuk United with a consistent game across the court. Noradju-

IN FORM: Kalkee’s Casey Rentsch will be one to watch this weekend against Natimuk United. ha-Quantong continued to build throughout the quarters and moved the ball well down to its goalers. Jayne Tucker was a standout for Noradjuha-Quantong, along with Shannon Couch, who shot 35 goals. Emily Hateley and Bethany Sudholz worked hard for the Rams, but could not get on top of the Bombers. Kaniva-Leeor United secured an early lead against the Swifts, which enabled its eighth win of the season.

After half-time, the Swifts started to creep up the scoreboard to reduce the margin, but were unable to defeat the Cougars. Cougars’ Abby Croft worked well in the ring with 38 goals and Elizabeth Hawker in defence was key for the win. Swifts defender Erin Freeland and goaler Michaela Armer worked hard to capitalise on opportunities to score all game. This week: Kalkee v Natimuk United, Swifts v NoradjuhaQuantong, Rupanyup v HarrowBalmoral, Edenhope-Apsley v Kaniva-Leeor United at Edenhope, Pimpinio v Laharum. Taylors Lake v Jeparit-Rainbow.

DONE?

RIB SUBLUXATION, WHAT’S THAT?? Have you ever had a stabbing pain in the mid-back or moved or coughed suddenly only to find you have a sharp pain in your back or chest? Do you know what a rib subluxation is? Do you know how they can happen? So easily!! Rib subluxations are caused when the rib becomes jammed up in one direction. It can cause sudden sharp pain in the upper back often around the shoulder blade area. It can feel like a knife-like pain and movement aggravates it. Now will it go away by itself? The pain will settle in one to two weeks, however this still means that the rib can be still jammed up and not allowing free movement in the upper back. Chiropractic is really good at helping people with this type of issue. Whether a person is young, or old there are chiropractic techniques which can assist with this problem. So don’t put up with pain, let us help you!

Horsham Demons women’s football team is the 2022 runner-up premiers in the Western Victoria Female Football League after a tough game against Hamilton Kangaroos. Horsham Demons women’s coach Sam Rintoule said the team had one of the best lead-ups to the game all year. “The players were really switched on all week and ready to go,” he said. “We were kicking into the wind in the first quarter in an effort to get an early lead-up that didn’t work in our favour. “Hamilton was willing and able to put a halt on our scoring. “We made it hard on ourselves in the second half and we had our opportunities, but Hamilton was able to capitalise.” The final score was Hamilton Kangaroos 5.3.33 to Horsham Demons 9.9.21. Kayetlan Harris and Olivia Jones were the goal scorers for the Demons. Demons’ best players were Paige Glover, Jedah Huf, Erin Mellington, Holly Smith, Lauren Sykes and Beth Dortmans. Rintoule said the Demons fought throughout four quarters but were unable to get over the line. “I’m really proud of the girls, even though it didn’t go our way,” he said. “To have the first Horsham Demons women’s team make the grand final is an achievement in itself. To win is always the goal and next year we are hoping to keep most of the playing group together and have another go of it.”

Next four weeks crucial BY ABBY WALTER

ith only two games difference between fourth and seventh position on the Wimmera Football Netball League senior football ladder, the next four weeks will be crucial to secure a finals berth.

Round 15 will see Horsham Demons put to the test against Minyip-Murtoa who, after a week off, will be ready to play a strong game. Dimboola will look to outplay Nhill and feel more comfortable sitting in fifth position. Stawell will be looking for another win when it faces Warrack Eagles. Southern Mallee Giants will have their work cut out for them as they take on Ararat, who are performing well. Horsham Saints overpowered Nhill at the weekend, with a 19-point win against the Tigers after leading all game. Mitch Martin kicked seven goals for the Saints and Will Brennan was key for the side. While Nhill outscored the Saints in the third quarter, it was not enough to stop the Saints, who finished the game strong. Fred

Stephan and Nathan Alexander worked hard for Nhill. In muddy conditions, Southern Mallee Giants and Horsham Demons had a low-scoring game at Hopetoun. The Giants were off to a slow start but in the second quarter worked hard to jump in front by four points. The third quarter was even, with the ball spending a lot of time in the middle and not many opportunities for teams to score. The Giants found some ground in the final quarter to finish with a 10-point win. Jake Garvey and Leigh Stewart were crucial for the Giants in securing the win. Ben Lakin and Allistair McKinnon were standouts for the Horsham side. The game between Stawell and Dimboola came down to the final moments, with a goal from the Warriors’ Mitch Thorp getting them across the line. With only one point between the teams at each quarter break, it was a challenge for both to feel comfortable with a lead. Stawell’s Jarrod Stafford and Tom Walker were hard to beat across the oval, while Michael Bowden and

Jack Landt were strong for the Roos. Ararat breezed to a win against Warrack Eagles with an even 100-point margin at the final siren. A consistent second half from the Rats saw the score blow out and the Eagles were unable to keep up. Once again Matthew Hutchesson put on a strong performance for Ararat, while Corey Taylor was a key target up forward with seven goals. Ryan McKenzie and Matthew Penny worked hard for the Eagles.

Battle for top position intensifies H

BY ABBY WALTER

orsham District Football Netball League senior footballers will get a taste of what it will take to win finals as the top two sides clash in round 14.

Rupanyup and Harrow-Balmoral will meet for the second time this season, with the winner primed to take outright top spot on the ladder. When the teams met in round nine, Rupanyup won by 33 points, however, it has been a season where anything can happen. Nearly one year on from its last win, Taylors Lake has come out on top in round 13 against Pimpinio. Taylors Lake defeated the Tigers by three goals on Saturday after going into the final quarter trailing by seven points. Trae Martin pulled out all the stops to ensure Taylors Lake achieved the win and Connor Healey kicked four goals. Brock Hamerston and Mackay Baker were standouts for Pimpinio. A last-ditch effort in the final quarter from Natimuk United when it faced Noradjuha-Quantong almost had the Bombers in trouble before the final siren. Noradjuha-Quantong started well and maintained a lead in the first three quarters against the Rams, before the margin reduced drastically in the fourth quarter.

Natimuk United kicked five goals in the final term to Noradjuha-Quantong’s one goal and the Bombers narrowly held on to win by six points. Jarred Combe and Jonathan Lovel played well for Natimuk United, while James Gregg and James Hallett were standouts for Noradjuha-Quantong. Harrow-Balmoral jumped Kalkee on the ladder with a win against the Kees after a close first half that could have seen the game go either way. The Southern Roos came out firing after the main break to prevent any scoring by Kalkee and set themselves up to win. Tom Conheady and Peter Staude were key players for Harrow-Balmoral. Simon Hobbs, with three goals, and Jasper Gunn put in another consistent performance for the Kees. Kaniva-Leeor United struggled to keep up with a fast-scoring Swifts unit, who ran away to win by more than 100 points. Despite a slow second quarter from the Swifts, Scott Carey and Jakob Salmi kicked it up a gear to work hard for the win. Hamish Bennett and Jeremy Nunan were key in Kaniva-Leeor’s efforts. The second big margin of the week was between Rupanyup and Laharum, with the Panthers coming out on top by 113 points. With no scoring from Laharum in

Brad Hunter and Charles Wild were crucial for Jeparit-Rainbow, while Matthew Close and Jeremy Kealy worked hard for the Saints. In round 14, Noradjuha-Quantong and Swifts will face a challenge in each other and it is set to be a close game.

the first and third terms, Rupanyup had momentum across the oval for consistent scoring. Jack Musgrove kicked 11 goals for the winning team, while Mitchell Gleeson played well. Reuben Launder and Dylan Cross did not give up for the Demons but were no match for the powerful Rupanyup unit. Jeparit-Rainbow and EdenhopeApsley had a tough fight through the

While Taylors Lake will be feeling good after its win, Jeparit-Rainbow will likely take the win and another four points on the ladder. Kalkee will look for a win against Natimuk United, while EdenhopeApsley will be hoping to defeat West Wimmera neighbours Kaniva-Leeor United. Pimpinio and Laharum are set to have a good hit out with both teams hoping for another success this season. This week: Taylors Lake v JeparitRainbow, Kalkee v Natimuk United, Swifts v Noradjuha-Quantong, Rupanyup v Harrow-Balmoral, EdenhopeApsley v Kaniva-Leeor United at Edenhope, Pimpinio v Laharum.

New circuit, new records BY ABBY WALTER

immera Kart Racing Club members are ‘ecstatic’ with an upgraded track that has added 330 metres onto the circuit and included a complete resurfacing.

Wimmera Kart Racing Club president Remo Luciani said the club hoped the upgrades would encourage more participation and improve the experience for kart drivers. “The Wimmera Kart Racing Club was fortunate to receive a $153,706 grant, which spring boarded us into action to rejuvenate the whole circuit,” he said. “Not only did we do an extension of 330 metres; but we were also able to then do part two of the project, which was resurfacing the rest of the track. “The new extension enables greater grid capacity and gives us better participation opportunities to attract more people to the club for events. “It’s a totally new circuit, so new lap records will be set next weekend on our club day. “We’re absolutely ecstatic with the asphalting, which is the same product used on the Formula One track in Adelaide; a special emulsion mix that is alcohol, fuel and heat resistant.”

EXCITED: Wimmera Kart Racing Club president Remo Luciani on the club’s newly refurbished and lengthened track. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Mr Luciani said Centre State Asphalting resurfaced and extended the track. “The tyre wear and the grip has been amazing since we’ve been on the circuit, so it’s a good mixture of grip and tyre wear for the surface,” he said. “It’s been a mammoth effort by all club members to get it all up and running and the whole club has been behind the project. “It’s a great thing for the Wimmera and Horsham, attracting com-

petitors from across the state and interstate.” Mr Luciani said the project was possible through motorsport infrastructure grants offered by the State Government. “The grants were specifically aimed and directed at motorsports for the first time,” he said. “For the grand opening of our upgraded track we have Parliamentary Secretary for Sport Danielle Green coming next weekend and we are incorporating the event into

our club day. We do hope to attract 50 entries from across the state and I did notice in our entries already that we have some South Australian entries. “Then, on August 13 and 14 we host round four of the Victorian Country Series, which we hope to see about 250 entries plus their families and visitors. That will bring 1000 people to town that weekend.”

Junior riders put to the test Horsham Motorcyle Club members expect up to 200 of the best junior motocross riders from Victoria and South Australia to descend on the club’s Dooen headquarters this weekend for the third round of the Victorian Junior MX State Titles. Club president Stephen Arthur said entries were strong with a large contingent of riders making the trip from South Australia. “Junior numbers are always pretty strong and bring a large support team with them,” he said. Horsham members including Jack Stacey, Angus Govan, Austin and Nate Boyd, Max Sudholz, Harry Gilbertson, Emily and Tom Lambert, Eddie Whitehead, Adam Hood, Mason Colgate, Ethan Worthy, Cory Lapsley and Max Oakley will fly the flag for the locals. Racing is on Saturday and Sunday and spectators are welcome. • The club will also host a Black Range Enduro cross country event next month at Mockinya. Organiser Dean Netherway said the event involved riders in pony express or ironman events. “Cross country motocycle racing involves riders tackling varying tracks from sandy paddock, grassland, bush tracks and rocky outcrops,” he said. “Juniors will ride a six-kilometre lap and race for 90 minutes, one bike one rider. Seniors ride a 13-kilometre track for four hours pony express – two riders two bikes, one rider does one lap, then swaps with their partner. Riders can also ride in an ironman class, one bike, one rider. “There will be ladies and mixed team riders, too,” he said. The enduro, on August 14, is at Clarkes Lane, Mockinya.

s the fight to finish in the top-five for many Wimmera Football Netball League teams continues, the league board has announced locations for the 2022 finals series.

Wimmera Football Netball League chairperson Pauline Butler said it was ‘fantastic’ to begin planning for a finals series after two years of not having finals. “We have our fingers crossed that we will get to the end of the season unscathed and at this stage, it’s looking good, so we are confident it will all go ahead,” she said. “A full finals series would be exciting for the league, our member clubs and the community.” The first week of finals begins with the qualifying final on August 27 at Dimboola, followed by the elimination final at Stawell on August 28. The second semi-final will be at Horsham City Oval on September 3 and the first semi-final on September 4 will be at Ararat. Ms Butler said Horsham Saints was offered catering duties for the second semi-final. The preliminary final is at Warracknabeal on September 11. The grand final is at Horsham City Oval on September 17. “At the grand final, Horsham Demons will do

the catering and Nhill will be in charge of the booth,” Ms Butler said. She said the finals at Horsham City Oval would be filmed for those who could not attend the venues, after the league worked with Horsham Rural City Council to allow that to happen. “We will work with the policies and procedures regarding child safe standards and make sure there is permission for all players, especially those under 18 years,” she said. Ms Butler said one of the highlights of the season was the strength of the competition, with a ‘true fight’ to the finish in most grades across both codes. “The next four home-and-away rounds will be really exciting and it’s anyone’s guess who will end up in the top five,” she said. “Every team is going to try hard to have the opportunity to play finals and work for a premiership in 2022. “There are definitely some dark horses who are hitting their straps now at the business end of the season, who will be a challenge for some of the teams who have had a seamless season and been the ones to beat. “So, we are gearing up and are looking forward to the finals series.” Ms Butler said the finals would be subject to change at the board’s discretion, if needed.

Glover impresses in vote count Horsham Demons women’s and under-18 footballer Paige Glover has finished the 2022 season as runner-up best and fairest in the Western Victoria Female Football League. Glover placed second in the vote count on Friday night, by one vote. She said it felt ‘pretty surreal’ receiving league votes. “In past years I haven’t been in the top few, so that made it even more special this year,” she said. Glover said her favourite aspect of playing football this season was her teammates and opponents. “My favourite part was being able to play among two talented teams, with both the Horsham youth girls and women’s under the coaching of Terry Arnel and Sam Rintoule,” she said. “Also playing against many of the girls I’ve met along the way. I’ve grown up playing footy. “I enjoy footy purely because it’s something I love. I enjoy the time spent on the field and at training, where I can be a role model

Studs set standards W

BY ABBY WALTER

immera sheep stud owners returned from Australia’s biggest sheep show event with a range of ribbons and accolades for a variety of breeds.

The annual Australian Sheep and Wool Show saw breeders from across the country exhibit their ewes and rams in Bendigo on July 16 and 17. Glenlee Park stud owner Will Schilling said Border Leicesters were the feature breed of this year’s show. “Every year they have a feature breed that they put in the middle of the shed to showcase,” he said. “We won reserve champion ewe and probably the bigger one to win was the most successful exhibitor. “There were 20 studs there and in the end, we were probably most consistent.” Mr Schilling said he had been showing at Bendigo for 10 years. “The number one reason to show is to compare your sheep and number two is for potential sales later in the year,” he said. “Taking sheep to the show, you get to compare them with your other fellow breeders to see if you are doing a good job. You can also have people look for potential stud sires – so people will buy our better rams for pretty reasonable money and take them for their stud and use them for their stud. “People see your sheep and think they might come to your sale later on. “If you have a ram that does really well, it might gain a fair bit of interest, so if he goes and wins a reserve or supreme ribbon it might make him worth a bit more.” Mr Schilling said the year had been the best he had seen since running his stud operation. “The crops have been growing and ewes are all about to start lambing, so they’ll be lambing into more feed than they know what to do with – it’s a good problem to have,” he said. “Last year we were off to a pretty slow start, but this year it just started raining and it didn’t stop, so things look good.” Glenpaen Merino Stud, at Brimpaen, had a successful showing, coming away the most successful fine wool exhibitor title. The stud also won grand champion merino ram of the show, Victorian-bred ram of the year, fine medium wool ram of the show, champion fine wool merino

TOUGH WORLD. TOUGH EQUIPMENT.

Industry on alert 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Wimmera agriculture leaders are on alert as the industry monitors a foot-and-mouth outbreak in Indonesia. Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange manager Paul Christopher said it would be ‘devastating’ to the agriculture industry in the Wimmera and beyond if FMD reached Australian livestock. “The Federal Government would call a stock standstill – nothing would be able to move for three days and if it wasn’t contained, it is horrible to think about,” he said. The CSIRO predicted a ‘small, contained’ outbreak in Victoria would see the state economy take a $5-billion to $6-billion hit. Foot-and-mouth disease, FMD, is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals. It spreads rapidly among animals and is excreted in breath, saliva, mucus, milk and faeces. Animals can become infected through inhalation, ingestion and direct contact and the disease spreads most commonly through the movement of infected animals. FMD can also be spread on wool, hair, grass or straw, by the wind, or by mud or manure sticking to footwear, clothing, livestock equipment or vehicle tyres. Mr Christopher said there was a fine line of being careful with current markets and ensuring farmers were protected. “The main warning is for people travelling overseas, because FMD is in plenty of countries, including Indonesia. So be mindful of clothing and shoes,” he said. “Also, out of courtesy, anyone who has travelled to a country with FMD should stay away from any farms with animals for seven days.” The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry reported that an FMD outbreak in Australia would have a direct economic impact of about $80-billion.

The stud finished second in the interbreed short wool exhibit with a White Suffolk ewe and in interbreed short wool group for Texel. Aurora Park and Burrandool Studs owner Mathew Hill said he won champion Hampshire Down ram and champion Hampshire Down ewe, allowing him to take out supreme champion Hampshire Down exhibit. “It felt really good.

Trio prepares for national stage 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY ABBY WALTER

hree Wimmera shearers are gearing up to compete at a national level after their success at the Victorian State Shearing and Wool Handling Championships at Bendigo.

Nhill’s Josh and Brandon Bone won the open and senior state titles, respectively, earlier this month. Down the road at Kaniva, Dalton Austin is proud to have finished runner-up in the intermediate state titles. Josh said after his success at state level, it would be a ‘dream come true’ to succeed at a national level. “I will never forget when I first picked up a handpiece at 13 years old and the trainer asked why I wanted to shear – I said I wanted to be the best in Australia,” he said. “I’ll go to nationals at Bendigo in October and I would love to make finals there against some of the world’s best. “It would be a dream come true to finish in the top-three and make the world team.” Josh shore 12 sheep within about 19 minutes to come away with the open win.

“My best mate said I should throw in my shearing gear if I was going to be there. “There was training on Friday, and I went and played golf instead because I had no plans to shear. “Then come Saturday, I decided to jump in and qualified in top spot for the semi-finals and also the final.” Josh said that was the moment he de-

“It meant so much to watch my brother Brandon win in the senior category, too. “I have been humbled and very appreciative of the overwhelming love and support from the people in the town and further afield.” Dalton placed first in intermediate and third in senior sections at the Northern Shears Shearing and Wool Handling Competition before finishing second in the state titles. “I’ll head to nationals at the end of October, which should be a good challenge,” he said. “This was my first competition. I have been shearing for just over three years and I really enjoy it. “I went a lot better than I expected and there was less than half a point difference between first and second place, so while that was disappointing, I was pretty happy to finish in the top-two.” Dalton is working in a shearing shed almost year-round and also helps on the family farm. “I didn’t do a lot of training leading up to the competition. I was just trying to shear as clean as I could,” he said. “Before I head to nationals, I will do some training, but I am keen for the next competition and to keep getting better to work up to be in the open competition in the next couple of years.”

Fischer reflects on industry change 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY ABBY WALTER

Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange stalwart has resigned from his board position after 20 years of service.

Gordon Fischer served on the Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange, HRLE, board since it began operating from its Burnt Creek Industrial Estate location. He was the board’s transport industry representative. Until 1999, Horsham’s saleyards were located in the city centre and Mr Fischer said he was ‘very keen’ when the relocation to Burnt Creek was proposed. “I jumped on board with the idea to move the saleyards,” he said. “I was a livestock transport operator for close to 50 years and I had a long association with the original saleyards. If we hadn’t have moved the saleyards, we wouldn’t have them at all now.” Mr Fischer remembers a very different time when the saleyards were in the city centre. “In the old days, we used to have to walk 2000 sheep from the saleyards in the middle of Horsham on a Friday afternoon to paddocks at Haven,” he said. “With the only bridge at Stawell Road, we would have to block traffic. “It was quite an achievement to get all the sheep across the bridge and out

MEMORIES: Gordon Fischer has stepped down from the Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange board, having seen the facility evolve and grow over two decades at Burnt Creek. to Haven. Now we have the paddocks on-site if there is stock that does not sell — which is a big advantage.” Mr Fischer said his biggest achievement during his time on the board was his contribution to the quality facilities that stand today. “I enjoyed being part of the group that built one of the best saleyards in Victoria,” Mr Fischer said. “Through all the board members’ input, we have what is there today —

and to me, it is the best saleyards in the state. “It’s such a diverse group of people from within the industry and the reason the livestock exchange is so successful is because of the input everyone on the board has. “The biggest advantage was when we received funding for the new roof over the yards.” Mr Fischer said he had a ‘real passion’ for HRLE.

“I made a lot of good friends during my time at the saleyards and met knowledgeable and good people,” he said. “In my time we went from having three electric loading and unloading ramps to eight.” Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange manager Paul Christopher, the council’s commercial enterprises coordinator, said Mr Fischer worked hard to support improvements.

“Gordon has always been a great advocate for HRLE and has wanted it to improve,” he said. “That is why when the selling pen extension, new electric ramps, roof and effluent dump were suggested, he was all for it and provided input to make these projects happen — hoping that it would put HRLE in a good position moving forward in the industry. “Gordon has supported me in my role as manager of HRLE for 16 years and has been able to fill me in with historical facts about the shift from town in 1999 out to the new facility at Burnt Creek, which has been greatly appreciated.” Board chairman David Grimble said Mr Fischer was the longest serving board member and its sole livestock transport representative. “Over the past 20 years his significant contribution in providing his expertise and industry perspective has helped shape the strategic direction and improvements of the exchange, while enhancing the reputation as a modern, viable selling facility,” he said. “At our recent board meeting, it was a pleasure to speak to his contribution and present him with a fitting token of our appreciation. “We wish him well knowing that his input has shaped the facility we have today.”

Global export demand firm

lobal demand for Australian sheep meat is rising as the national flock continues to recover and grow to 76 million head.

The national flock was at its lowest in more than 100 years in 2020. Meat and Livestock Association, MLA, data shows Australia exported 110,775 tonnes of lamb and 57,655 tonnes of mutton between January and May. The exports are five percent and seven percent more, respectively, than the same period in 2021. Senior market information analyst Ripley Atkinson said export growth in emerging markets such as Malaysia, Japan and South Korea demonstrated the diverse range of countries seeking Australian lamb and mutton. “On top of booming markets in Asia, the United States has quickly emerged as Australia’s number-one destination for lamb exports,” he said. The United States imported 35,053 tonnes of sheep meat from January to May, which was three percent higher than the same point in 2021. “With sheep meat production in plentiful volumes and international demand for Australian product remaining robust across key established

and emerging markets, the outlook for the Australian sheep meat industry is bright,” Mr Atkinson said. MLA’s latest Sheep Industry Projections update showed favourable seasonal conditions had supported above-average lambing percentages and a larger breeding ewe flock. Above average rain for most sheep regions of New South Wales and Victoria will see the national flock rise by 5.1 million in 2022. Lamb production is forecast to reach record levels at 549,000 tonnes, with higher carcase weights driving the increase. Average lamb carcase weights are forecast to remain firm reaching 24.9kg a head in 2022. MLA has estimated carcase weights will decrease by two percent to 24.6kg a head by 2023, with seasonal conditions expected to ease and return to the long-term average. However, the implementation of improved genetics and on-farm production management will likely ensure that 2023 carcase weights remain historically high. “The country is well positioned to continue supplying high-quality protein to both the domestic and international markets,” Mr Atkinson said.

LIMITED: Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange offered just over 400 sheep for sale last week.

Numbers low as meat prices drop Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange has recorded one of the smallest winter offerings of lambs, with 436 head for sale last week. Exchange manager Paul Christopher said he believed decreasing prices of sheep meat had also meant a decrease in stock through the sale yards. “What I am hearing is along with the prices dropping, there is nowhere to store the meat for export,” he said. “Whether this will have an impact

in the long-term, we don’t know. There is plenty of interest in wanting to purchase, but it is a bit challenging to have the stock to purchase at the moment.” Mr Christopher said lambs at the saleyards were looking good. “We are lucky in this area with green grass, grain and hay for the farmers to feed the stock,” he said. Graham Pymer’s market report for Horsham on Wednesday last week showed the quality was mixed, with medium and heavy lambs selling

from $166 to $181 a head and lighttrade lambs selling at $158 a head. Mr Christopher said he hoped the low numbers were not a continuing trend. “I have heard lambing percentages are good this year, so while our markets are down now, I am hoping numbers return in the coming months with lambs coming through in September and October,” he said. “If the market can drop, it can also rise.”

Cows create win for students Goroke P-12 College students are winners of the South West Victoria Cows Create Careers project for semester one. The team of year-seven to year10 agriculture students, called MooRoke, were in charge of caring for and studying two, three-week-old dairy calves. The students fed the calves three litres of milk each, twice a day for three weeks. They had to track their growth through a weight tape and record how much milk they drank each day. “We also made a video showing our understanding of dairy nutrition and the important role it has in our diets,” the students said. “Our video was a take on The Chase Australia and we included questions about nutritional facts for humans consuming dairy and for taking care of our calves. “We also learned about the biosecurity measures we had to put in place, like a footbath and sanitising hands and feeding equipment to make sure the calves didn’t pick up any diseases. “We submitted a letter thanking the program for our participation and created a scientific report which included all of our data and overall interpretation of their growth, additionally we included methods required for rearing the calves.”

Crop grows help for club 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

community project in Rupanyup will raise money for the town’s sporting clubs.

MOO-ROKE: Goroke P-12 College secondary agriculture students are excited to be heading to nationals for their winning Cows Create Careers project. The school received $250 for the win and each student received a $20 iTunes voucher. “We learnt all about the rearing of calves alongside biosecurity and key nutritional facts and information,” the students said. “We thought the experience was really good and noticed a huge difference between calves and lambs. “Calves had a much larger intake of milk and drink a lot faster.”

Student Maisy Batson said: “It was so hard to stay composed when they were interviewing us after the win because I was just so surprised and taken back.” Jaydee Events runs the Cows Create Careers project with support from the Gardiner Foundation and WestVic Dairy. The team is now eligible to enter the $3000 National SNR prize competition, announced in November.

Grain growers Andrew and Rodney Weidemann and BASF Australia have developed a partnership to provide support for the town. Weidemann Pastoral Co has designated a paddock on its property to grow barley for BASF’s inaugural ‘Community Paddock’ project. Throughout the season, BASF will supply its range of crop protection products suitable for use on the Community Paddock. Following harvest of the crop, the funds that would have been spent on the BASF crop protection products will go to Rupanyup Football and Netball Club. The Weidemann brothers have farmed at Rupanyup for more than 35 years. Rodney said there was no hesitation in getting involved. “During the past couple of years, COVID has made it almost impossible to raise funds, with many of our club sponsors dropping out,” he said. “It’s fantastic to see that BASF is willing to roll up its sleeves, work with our community and invest in

matters close to our hearts. Anyone involved in a sporting club knows that a lot of hard work goes on behindthe-scenes to keep them running and ensure players come back each year. “These funds will help us immensely with updating training equipment, maintaining the grounds and supporting our volunteers so we can keep the Rupanyup community thriving for years to come.” Gavin Jackson, head of agricultural solutions for BASF in Australia and New Zealand said Rupanyup was part of the project’s inaugural phase. “After two years of COVID disruptions, we appreciate more than ever the importance and impact of community participation in sport, and we are excited to support the Rupanyup Football and Netball Club as a beneficiary of our inaugural Community Paddock,” he said. Mr Jackson said the paddock would also serve as an educational tool for barley growers to see first-hand how BASF products such as Systiva seed treatment fungicide and Voraxor herbicide performed. BASF will share updates via its social media channels.

President: It’s great to be back T

BY ABBY WALTER

hree years on from the 41st annual Mallee Machinery Field Days, Speed will once again be a hive of activity in the first week of August.

After cancellations in 2020 and 2021, Mallee Machinery Field Days is returning on August 3 and 4 with more than 300 exhibitors. Field days president Terrence Kiley said he was most looking forward to the farming community getting out and about and interacting with like-minded people in the agriculture industry. “It’s great to be back,” he said. “After a long break, it’s taken a bit to get back into the swing of things, but we’re looking forward to it just the same. “I think we’re pretty much fully booked. “There are some new exhibitors and there is the odd exhibitor that isn’t coming back because they have enough business – in some cases for 18 months – combined with a lack of supplies and lack of labour.”

Secretary Matt Brady said he was looking forward to welcoming people back to the event. “Sites are at full capacity, with exhibitors coming from across Australia,” he said. “The past two years have been tough on everyone. I think a lot of people have missed it. “There will be lots of new releases this year and for many businesses, this is the first time in three years they have had an opportunity to showcase them to a wider audience.” Mallee Machinery Field Days is a major fundraiser for Speed Lions Club, whose members form the event committee. Mr Brady said the not-forprofit organisation was grateful it would once again be able to make worthwhile donations to those requiring a ‘helping hand’. “Fundraising efforts across all communities have been impacted as a result of COVID,” he said. “We’re happy we will be able to provide an economic boost to many community groups and organisations who have been hit hard in recent years.” Mr Kiley said the field days had

“After a long break, it’s taken a bit to get back into the swing of things, but we’re looking forward to it just the same. I think we’re pretty much fully booked”

a widespread, positive impact on the community. “It’s quite a big event for the local groups,” he said. “There are quite a few community and sporting groups that benefit from the event. “It is probably the biggest event in the centre of the Mallee annually and the money that is raised is all returned to community groups and charities through the Lions club. “For example, if we have a community member with an illness, we can contribute to assist them, or students who graduate out of high school into tertiary education or an apprenticeship, the Lions club tries to assist them with a small amount of funding. “We also support local hospitals, the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal and other charities.”

A message to share... A

ustralian cricketing legend Brad Hogg will attend the Mallee Machinery Field Days to speak about the importance of mental health.

The Victorian Farmers Federation’s Making Our Farms Safer stand will host Mr Hogg on August 3, as part of Grain Producers Australia’s new mental-health awareness initiative. Mr Hogg will share his personal story and messages about the importance of mental health and suicide prevention at events throughout Australia, as the inaugural ambassador of the Farmer Mates Mental Health program. Mr Hogg said he was looking forward to attending the Mallee Machinery Field Days to meet with VFF members and other farmers and residents as part of the program. He said he hoped being able to share his story with farmers in an informal setting would encourage other people to feel comfortable sharing their own stories about mental health. “I’m proud to be working with Grain Producers Australia on this initiative, to share these important messages,” he said. “This is a great way to help others recognise the signs they need to look out for with friends or family who might be struggling

and encourage them to reach out for help when needed. “We want people to know that they are never alone, and that help is always a phone call away if they need it. “It’s all about starting conversations that will make a positive change and help save lives.” Victorian Farmers Federation

grains group president Ashley Fraser said he hoped the initiative would help start a conversation and shed more light on the issue of mental health in rural and regional areas. “We need to start talking about mental health more, particularly in the country and within our farming communities,” he said.

“Initiatives such as this are so important to help spark a conversation that could ultimately save someone’s life.” • If you, or someone you know, needs help, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636, or Kids Helpline on 1800 551 800. In an emergency, call 000.

ong-range forecasts show Mallee Machinery Field Days will go ahead under mostly sunny skies, with a low chance of rain or harsh winds. Amid a positive season, after enough rain for a good autumn and winter break, the field days at Speed present an opportunity for the region’s farmers to assess new machinery and connect with others in the industry. Field days president Terrence Kiley said the season was fantastic in the Mallee to date. “We’ve already mowed the site a few weeks ago and we’re going to have to do it again before the field days, which are only around the corner,” he said. “It has dried out a little bit and we’ve had a few touches of frost that are drying things out, too. It’s ideal for here at the moment.” Australian Bureau of Meteorology data showed the average rain for Speed between January and July was 145.7 millimetres. Elders Weather recorded 166.4 millimetres before July this year – more than double the amount at the same time in 2021. Founding Mallee Machinery Field Days member Kevin Emonson said while harvest season was still months away, the season was showing a lot of potential. “We’re lucky that the season looks good,” he said. “A good season gives people a bit more enthusiasm to get back into things like the field days. “When the grass is green and there’s a bit of mud under your boot, it makes all the difference.” Mr Emonson said the livestock industry was also looking positive this year. “The livestock markets are doing okay,” he said. “The biggest challenge this year is the costs, so farmers have to be on the ball because they cannot afford to have too many mishaps.”

Community key to event success

ormer Mallee Machinery Field Days president and founding member Kevin Emonson is proud of the impact the event has on the community.

Speed Lions Club has organised Mallee Machinery Field Days since its inception in 1979 and will welcome visitors back to the event after a two-year COVID-19-restriction hiatus. Mr Emonson, one of two original committee members from the first field days event at Speed, said he was looking forward to the return of the event. “The event is run by the town’s Lions club as a fundraiser as well as a way to promote agriculture,” he said. “In the past couple of years, we haven’t been able to support local organisations much and now that we are getting it going again, we can start distributing funds back into the district. “The district needs to get enough funds to keep our communities going these days, which is a battle in a small area.” Mr Emonson said throughout the years when someone in the community was in need, the Lions club came to their aid. “In my opinion, that’s one of the biggest pleasures of the field days – to know quite a few people are getting benefits from it when and where it’s needed,” he said. “We can support quite a few organisations throughout the district with

GEARING UP: Speed Lions Club volunteers get the Mallee Machinery Field Days site ready at a working bee ahead of the event. different projects and I think that’s one of the big pluses of this event.” The 42nd Mallee Machinery Field Days marks a long history of the Speed Lions Club giving back to the community. In 1979, the first field days event ran in a paddock with 39 dealers exhibit-

ing their projects. The event has been hosted at a variety of temporary sites and the logistics behind erecting and removing amenities each year was a big task. Six years after the first event, a permanent site was chosen between Speed and Turriff.

Each year about 8500 people head through the gate to engage with about 350 exhibitors. Mr Emonson said despite three years since the last field days, volunteer organisations were jumping back on board. “The organisations that support us

also look to the field days to help their funds – in the end, it saves a lot of chook raffles,” he said. “For an area like here, it’s all foreign money because it’s not the same people doing the same thing all the time, trying to raise a few hundred dollars, and that’s how it really helps out our district. “People call it the Speed Field Days, but it’s really for Speed and district, with organisations from Ouyen, Sea Lake, Ultima, Hopetoun and Woomelang all coming along and doing certain jobs to help run the event. “It’s a great community effort. “The field days are good for Speed and good for the Mallee.” Mr Emonson said volunteers ran the event and the Lions club was lucky to have people who put their hand up each year to help out. “We’re lucky the community gets behind it, otherwise it wouldn’t be quite so successful,” he said. “We’ve been doing this for more than 40 years and it looks like we know what we’re doing now. “We hope that we can continue to host the event and keep getting people to take on the major jobs, which is a big effort on their behalf to put in the time. “I feel fairly confident the Mallee Machinery Field Days will continue with the support we get from the community.”

Dr Anne Webster, Member for Mallee

A highlight on the ag calendar F

inally, the Mallee Machinery Field Days are almost here.

It has been three long years since the farming community has been able to gather for this event, but it is almost here. Field days and agricultural shows are highlights on the calendar, with really no other comparison. We have all missed the Speed field days. Field days attract thousands of visitors from across the country to learn, trade and catch up with one another, learn what is new and share stories. It is important to come back together and celebrate the vibrancy of farming life, rural traditions and all that is new in the agricultural scene. Field days are an essential part of the calendar year for many of our regional agribusinesses. No matter the yield or the measure of success, the Speed field days are always renowned for bringing everyone in the industry together, young and old. In Australia, field days generate more than $1billion in sales for small businesses every year. Mallee Machinery Field Days is a perfect time to show off the latest innovations and technology. These events bring regional leaders together

to share skills and experience, and open doors for new jobs and investments. Field days give regional Australia the opportunity to show our urban counterparts where their food and fibre comes from. There is always a sense of pride as regional people showcase industries and products. Across Australian field days, this is on display to more than six-million attendees. Congratulations to the Lions Club of Speed for the rallying effort to host this fantastic event once again – and bounce back from an incredibly challenging couple of years. I am sure that we are all looking forward to putting that behind us and celebrating farming life together once again. Thank you to all the star volunteers who give their time – rain, hail or shine – to make this great event possible. For the Nationals, this premier event is always a highlight of the year, to be among the festivities and to meet with the local community and hear what’s been happening in your patch. Pop by and say g’day at the Nationals’ site – number 25. Unfortunately, I have parliament sitting week and cannot personally attend, but my colleagues and my staff will be there. – Dr Anne Webster, Member for Mallee

Exhibitor profile: Goldacres

oldacres hosted dealers from across the country for an exclusive Prairie Pro Series 2 trailing sprayer launch last week.

Recent years have proven to be hard for such events to be held, so a much-needed dealer group catch-up was certainly overdue. Goldacres released the popular G6 Series 2 Self-Propelled machine in mid 2020 – right in the heart of COVID-19 lockdowns, so many sales were taken before some dealerships had even cast their eyes on the sprayer. Not wanting history to repeat itself, Goldacres hosted the launch with the full range of the latest Prairie Pro Series 2s on display for all Goldacres dealers to test. The launch was at the recently restored The Goods Shed, followed by factory tours at the Goldacres Manufacturing plant at Mitchell Park near Ballarat. The Prairie Pro is Goldacre’s flag ship trailing model, which includes sizes 5000, 6500, 8500 and 10,000L with RivX boom sizes 24-metres to 36-metres and Tritech V boom in 48-metres. The new series is a complete redesign of the manufacturer’s Prairie Pro trailing model, which was prompted by what customers had requested, with the company’s ability to make

“It’s not as if farmers are doing the same thing year in and year out, and that’s why I think people keep coming along. Exhibitors want to put their items out there for people to see and everyone has to keep up with the technology and machinery to keep up with the industry”

he Mallee Machinery Field Days will offer farmers from across the region a chance to connect with experts about new technology and machinery available in the agriculture industry.

With farming practices changing in a direction that requires higher accuracy, less wastage and getting more done, a rethink of the range was required. The philosophy behind the new model was to create a trailing sprayer that shared the same filling and application technology from the recently released Crop Cruiser G6 Series 2. It is easier to use, has electric controls for all functions with full diag-

nostics info if something goes wrong, and offers all the functions and smarts of the self-propelled sprayer in a trailer. The Prairie Pro Series 2 is a vastly different machine to what Goldacres has previously offered and alternative sprayers available. Aimed at producers who demand the very best in terms of build quality, features and technology, it is designed for maximum efficiency from the season’s first fill to the last application, with all chemicals on target and minimum waste.

Careful consideration has been made in determining what operators value most in a sprayer, with many features built into the model as standard equipment. Arguably the biggest advancement to the new model is the adaption of Goldacres’ in-house developed G-Hub sprayer control system. Comprising of a full colour five-inch, or 12-centimetre, screen and keypad at the fill station and an optional 12-inch, or 30-centimetre, colour touch screen inside the tractor cabin, the system allows all functions to be quickly op-

erated. The fully riveted RivX boom is now fitted to the Prairie Pro Series 2 in sizes between 24m and 36m, while the 48m version is the tri-folding TriTech V series boom. Goldacres is a manufacturer and supplier of agricultural chemical spray equipment. Its range of agricultural chemical sprayers comprises a selection of diverse precision equipment for a wide variety of uses and applications. Goldacres is exhibiting at the Mallee Machinery Field Days at site 213-214.

Tough and durable sheds

More than 300 exhibitors will be at the field days site near Speed on August 3 and 4, ready to engage with farmers. Field days president Terrence Kiley said harvesting and spraying technology and machinery were key features of the field days this year. “Some of the key exhibits are probably the John Deere harvester, the X9, which is new to Australia,” he said. “Hopefully farmers, and I, will get time at the field days to have a look over it. “That’s what the event is all about – checking out what’s on offer from the dealerships.” Mr Kiley said precision technology for spraying weeds would also be an attention-grabber throughout the two days. “The other one is green-on-green and green-on-brown technology,” he said. “Green-on-brown has been around for a while, but they’re getting better at it with new spraying technology – and it is new to agriculture. “Agrifac is probably leading the way with green-on-green as far as I know, so that will be interesting to see.” Mallee Machinery Field Days

sowing rates, but now it’s all computerised and you can even get units on sprayers that can pick out certain weeds,” he said. “Technology has transformed agriculture and the way it’s done. “We’re still producing the same type of product, but the way we produce and the efficiency of producing it now outweighs what we were doing years ago. “When you consider the amount of acres one farmer can sow in a day now, compared with what it was when I started farming, it’s a pretty amazing accomplishment. “In these days farmers grow it, sell it, produce the article efficiently and provide evidence about how they produced it. “That sort of thing shows how modern technology has gone and how adaptive the modern-day farmer is.”

NEW 2022 HIGHEST YIELDING IMI LENTIL VARIETIES

n behalf of Yarriambiack Shire Council I’d like to congratulate the Lions Club of Speed for its persistence and hard work in getting the 2022 event up and running after two years of COVID-related cancellations.

The field days is such as important event for our region, with visitors and exhibitors travelling far and wide to see the latest and greatest in agricultural machinery, products and services. This stimulus extends past the field days throughout our towns and local economy and provides a great fundraising opportunity for our local community groups and businesses. As the main industry within our region, agriculture is the lifeblood of our small towns. When farmers and the ag sector are doing well, our communities thrive. Since the first event in 1979, Mallee Machinery Field Days has grown from 39 exhibitors to now hosting about 350 exhibitors from across Australia. This is an extraordinary achievement for the committee and volunteers. For council, the Mallee Machinery Field Days is a vital link in our community engagement efforts. I encourage all patrons to visit us at site 73, where I will be accompanied by my fellow councillors and staff to answer your questions and share your ideas on projects, issues and ideas that impact our community. We will have copies of the Council Plan 2022-23 Actions List and the recently adopted roadside management plans and maps for you to review. We also welcome Rural Northwest Health Service staff who will be completing on-site health checks and promoting their wide range of services and programs.

THUNDER IMI Lentil A

Highest yielding broadly adapted IMI tolerant lentil Kylie Zanker After two years of lockdowns with limited events and social activities, it is wonderful to see this event rise again. While we continue to battle against COVID-19 in our communities, I encourage everyone who can to support the field days in person; or if you can’t make it to Speed this year, support the local businesses and organisations, sponsors and exhibitors of the event. Council acknowledges the hard work and volunteer hours that goes in behind the scenes to deliver these events and wish the committee, exhibitors and patrons a wonderful Mallee Machinery Field Days. See you at Speed. – Cr Kylie Zanker, Mayor, Yarriambiack Shire

Lentils set to take market by storm T

wo new herbicide-tolerant lentil varieties offered by start-up independent plant breeder Grains Innovation Australia, GIA, will offer growers a boost in yield over currently grown varieties across Australia’s lentil producing heartland of Victoria. GIA breeder Michael Materne, based in Horsham, said national variety trial, NVT, data showed the varieties stacked up well against industry benchmarks in a range of settings. Dr Materne said the aim with one of the varieties, GIA Lightning, had been to provide growers in lower rainfall, sandy soil environments, such as the Mallee, a solid herbicide-tolerant option that could help them better incorporate a pulse within their broader crop rotation. GIA Lightning is an imidazolinone, imi, tolerant line that across Victorian and South Australian NVT trials has yielded on average 109 percent of Hurricane XT, currently the most widely grown imi-tolerant variety in lower rainfall zones. Dr Materne said the breeding process had been tailored to creating a variety with good yield stability and growth pattern and a plant type suitable for sandier soils. The variety had a limited quantity of seed commercially released this year and has proven popular. Janine Sounness, commercial manager at PBSeeds, the distributor of the new variety, said all available seed

“There has been a significant expansion in lentil plantings in the past decade and imi-tolerant lines have been a big part of that. Growers have always been quick to adopt improved lentil genetics for their farm rotations” – Janine Sounness

HIGH HOPES: Two new lentil varieties were bred at the GIA lentil breeding nursery near Horsham. sold out in a week to numerous Mallee farmers across both South Australia and Victoria. Another variety the fledgling breeder is excited about is GIA Thunder, which has consistently proved the top yielding imi-tolerant lentil across trials conducted both by GIA and its collaborators and in NVTs in major lentil producing regions. Recently released NVT data shows GIA Thunder’s yield potential on average is 111 percent of Hurricane XT

across Victoria and South Australian trials throughout 2020 and 2021. Along with its herbicide tolerance, Dr Materne said GIA Thunder had some key advantages over other varieties in terms of its frost tolerance, a major issue for lentil producers, especially those planting in low-lying frost prone paddocks. Ms Sounness was also upbeat about GIA Thunder’s prospects. “GIA Thunder is going to be hugely popular as the imi tolerant types now

dominate the market in terms of planted area,” she said. “There has been a significant expansion in lentil plantings in the past decade and imi-tolerant lines have been a big part of that. “Growers have always been quick to adopt improved lentil genetics for their farm rotations.” Ms Sounness said PB Seeds and GIA were planning to bolster seed availability of the new varieties for 2023 and this week have opened up

seed orders to all nationwide. “Large areas of seed crops are being sown this year, so there will be plenty of seed available to growers to plant in 2023 of both GIA Thunder and GIA Lightning,” she said. “PBSeeds is also organising seed for some demonstration trial crops and will be marketing small parcels of these small seed class red lentils to end users after harvest.”

Children’s safety is paramount

“There isn’t an issue more important than this for farming families”

Victorian Farmers Federation campaign is shining a spotlight on children’s safety on farms.

The federation’s Making Our Farms Safer project aims to boost public awareness and highlight on-farm risks to children. Federation president Emma Germano said the campaign’s launch coincided with National Farm Safety Week 2022. She said it would include the launch of a dedicated safety guidebook for farming families. “The Australian agriculture industry sadly represents the highest proportion of accidents causing death in any workplace, with children tragically making up one-quarter of these numbers,” Ms Germano said. “We need to do all we can, as an industry, to ensure no-one has to endure the heartbreak, pain, loss and emptiness that losing a child to a preventable on-farm accident results in.” A 2021 Coronial Inquiry revealed that in the six-year period from January 1, 2016 to December 21, 2021, seven Victorian children died using farm machinery. This finding has driven the development of the campaign and guidebook. “I encourage all farmers to familiarise themselves with the Making Our Farm Families Safer campaign and guidebook. There isn’t an issue more important than this for farming families,” Ms Germano said.

REMINDER: Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germano says there is no more important issue for farming families than ensuring children remain safe. The farmer’s federation has launched a new campaign to highlight the issue. The campaign and guidance book has been created by the VFF Making Our Farms Safer project, a farm safety education and support service for Victorian farmers. It is funded through the Victorian Government Smarter, Safer Farms commitment to improve safety and

skills outcomes for farmers across the state. Ms Germano said people could follow the Making Our Farm Families Safer campaign across all social media platforms or download a free copy of the guidebook via www.making ourfarmssafer.org.au

Encouraging precautions Meanwhile, Kidsafe Victoria has also urged parents and carers on farms to take urgent action and set-up safe play areas in a bid to reduce the number of unintentional childhood injury and death.

Hectare-eang performance

– Emma Germano

More than eight children in Victoria require hospital treatment each week as a result of farm-related injury. Victorian Injury Surveillance Unit statistics show a 12 percent increase in children, aged under 14, injured on farms in the past year. Kidsafe Victoria general manager Jason Chambers said common injury hazards for children included vehicles such as tractors, motorbikes and quad bikes; animals; water hazards such as dams, creeks and animal drinking troughs; machinery; and poisons. National Centre for Farmer Health research has shown almost half of properties surveyed did not have a fence around the farmhouse or garden to keep children separated from hazards. A further 20 percent reported that while they had a fence, it was not fully enclosed or secure. Jessie Adams, research assistant and PhD candidate at the National Centre for Farmer Health, said the research also revealed a number of barriers to parents and carers implementing safety measures on farms. “More than half, or 52 percent, of parents surveyed believe there are not enough resources to educate them on what they need to do,” she said.

Open doors to skills solution From left field with David Matthews

lmost every business conversation I hear today ends up in discussion about how difficult it is to find employees.

It’s across all sectors – including hospitality, healthcare, banking and finance and definitely agriculture. Some years ago, when we needed a mechanic to join us at Wimmera Grain Co, we advertised through all the usual channels. There was one response, from someone who’d never lifted a spanner but thought it might be fun. A chance conversation outside an Indian restaurant in Melbourne led us to meeting Inderjeet. Inderjeet owned a small farm in Punjab, but he was living in Melbourne and working as a mechanic for a trucking company in Laverton. His wife and young children were still in India, looking after the farm. We invited him up to Rupanyup to work a few weekends, to let him get to know us and us get to know him. We soon offered him a position under the sponsored visa program. Each party commits to a minimum of two years employment and if completed successfully, it opens a path-

I really like Inderjeet. He is a lovey man. Respectful, honest and hard working. One day he came into the office and asked for two weeks leave without

pay. He had to go back to India. The neighbouring farmers had encroached on his land. They ignored his wife’s efforts to remove them. The incident highlighted the sacrifice Inderjeet and his family were

well all descendants of people who came here to build a better life. Wave after wave of people have moved here in search of something better. They were often escaping poverty or war. They were hungry to seize the opportunities this country presented. It’s this collective aspiration, this desire to build a better life, that ensures Australia continues to punch above its weight globally. We’ve used the sponsored visa program to find employees a few times now. Some have only stayed with us three or four years; some, eight years. It’s not a simple process but, without exception, it’s helped us find great people. And when you hear their individual stories, the hardships they’ve left behind and their optimism for a new future in Australia, you realise everyone wins. An expanded sponsored migration program has to be a part of solving the current chronic skills shortage. The old catch cry of ‘Australians for Australian Jobs’ is not relevant in a time of such low unemployment. We have the jobs and we have the space. We have willing employers and welcoming communities. We just need some sensible government policy to make it happen.

Finding the perfect fit key to happiness

’m fortunate to be in a career I love. But it wasn’t always thus.

Country Today with Libby Price

around this time of year, I feel the anxiety of students finishing school and wondering where their career might begin. So much so, I have recurring nightmares, which I blame on my matriculation results being delivered to my neighbors’ letterbox by mistake. I can tell you it was a pretty tough couple of days before the error was corrected and I found I’d passed with an adequate result. Yes, we had the time of our lives at ag college, doing all those things that ag students do. What happens on campus stays on campus. But I also made the most wonderful connections with students from across the country – many of whom I’m still in contact with 40 years later. It still is a case of who you know as much as what you know. The course was a lot more difficult than I’d anticipated, but I loved what I was learning and immersed myself in college life.

SHOWCASING MACHINERY: O’Connors Horsham is one of many agriculture machinery dealerships exhibiting at the 2022 Mallee Machinery Field Days. From tractors and combines to hay and seeding equipment, there is a wide variety of the newest machinery on site to check out. O’Connors is also hosting a range of information sessions after 3pm across the two-day event. O’Connors Horsham sales manager Paul Christian, left, and branch manager Heath Martin are looking forward to heading to Speed for the August 3 and 4 showcase. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

My first dream, when I was about eight years old, was to be a wildlife photojournalist. I had a voracious appetite for pouring through my grandfather’s National Geographic magazines, in awe of wild animals in Africa. Then I became obsessed with horses, as many young girls do, and I thought I’d be a vet. But I was far more arts oriented and knew I didn’t have the fortitude to slog my way through sciences. So I did what many young women did in the 1970s – either teaching or nursing – and began a teaching degree. One year of that was more than enough and I dropped out, much to the horror of my parents. I was determined to find a career where I could also indulge my passion for horses. After working for a lofty $40 a week as a live-in groom, travelling across Australia where I could find work, I heard of a course in farm secretarial studies at Orange Agricultural College. Growing up as a city girl, I thought farm management was a stretch so I enrolled and thus began a life-changing experience. Why am I telling you this? Because

Like so many tertiary institutions offering practical diploma courses, Orange Agricultural College was forced to merge with University of Sydney under the Hawke Government’s Dawkins education reforms. It was then transferred to Charles Sturt University. Now, it no longer exists. It was my qualification from Orange that got me the job in rural reporting all those years ago – the job that has been the perfect fit. I’m saddened that the course is no longer, but now that agriculture is booming, more students are looking at the sector as a career choice. I’ve just completed a series of interviews for Country Today with students from Marcus Oldham College in Geelong and I’m staggered at the students’ confidence, determination and focus. I wouldn’t swap my jobs for quids and encourage anyone considering a career in farming or related industries to take the leap. Some years after graduating, I ran into one of my course lecturers. She asked, “what are you doing now?” When I replied, “working in radio,” her response was, “that would be right, getting paid to talk”. Not just that, talking about what I love.

Saritor Mallee edition on show “We are very pleased to be able to help all those farmers reduce their herbicide usage and costs by up to 90 percent in every paddock”

Exhibitor profile: HARDI

ARDI Australia has launched its new Saritor 7000 Mallee Edition.

The launch, in Adelaide last week, of the next-generation Saritor 7000 brings sophisticated self-propelled performance to farms – from its stunning satin black laser cut-grill with integrated LED light bar, to its unrivalled boom ride. The infinitely variable four-wheel drive is controlled by efficient hydrostatic transmission, powered by a 300HP Cummins QSB 6.7 litre Tier III diesel engine. Farmers can chose between 4 different nozzle technologies. The sleek, new bonnet lines lead back to a completely re-imagined cab. Fatigue-beating comforts include a comfortable high-back operator’s seat and a new refrigerator for the day’s supplies. The cabin also features an intuitive new control console with a focus on reducing clutter. The heart of cab is the new HARDI Integrated Vehicle Experience – ‘HIVE’. This advanced control system includes a completely remodelled armrest console with integrated dial and joystick interface, plus a head-up display that shows critical information at eye level, enhancing situational awareness inside and outside the cab.

UNVEILING: The HARDI Australia Saritor 7000 Mallee Edition is unveiled at its Adelaide launch last week. The ‘HIVE’ concept extends to the filling station, with its new HIVE system screen. This displays clear filling information plus a set of visual guides and videos, so farmhands can master filling Saritor quickly and safely. The new Saritor 7000 was designed in Adelaide. Meanwhile, HARDI also launched GeoSelect on its trailer range.

Primary producers can now have highly sophisticated weed targeting technology on their trailed crop sprayers. The GeoSelect spot spraying system will be offered on HARDI trailed sprayers, starting with the popular Commander. HARDI national sales manager Zac Harnett said offering GeoSelect on the company’s most popular trailed

www.aglife.com.au

sprayers was ‘great news’ for farmers. “The Commander is hugely popular with grain producers, pastoralists and vegetable growers, as well as broadacre operators,” he said. “We are very pleased to be able to help all those farmers reduce their herbicide usage and costs by up to 90 percent in every paddock.” GeoSelect adds very little extra hardware and weight to the spray boom.

– Zac Harnett

Instead of heavy and vulnerable cameras, there are just four GNSS units that continually geolocate the spray nozzles with centimetre accuracy. This means there is virtually no change in boom performance and the system can be easily disabled for blanket spraying of fungicides and liquid fertilisers. GeoSelect programming begins with a drone or aircraft pre-scan of the paddock. A weed geolocation database is created and transferred to the software, which calculates how much chemical will be needed in the tank, recommends the tractor’s optimum spraying speed at each point in the paddock, and controls individual spray nozzles along the boom to target weeds. Commander trailed sprayers are offered with 6500, 8500 and 10,000 litre main tank capacity and boom sizes from 30 metres to 48.5 metres.

pushing it into the ground and making it difficult to rake. By pushing the material out each side of the tractor tyres, the tractor is running on fresh ground. The Opener Series is also an ideal machine for pushing teddered silage away from tractor tyres and eliminating soil contamination to the material. Depending on the size of the mowers, the Opener is capable of turning two rows of wet hay in one pass, or it can be used to turn only one row. This patented award-winning rake can be coupled to the tractor either on the front end loader arms, three point linkage or bolted to the front chassis or cast weights of the tractor with a very quick easy coupling. The opener rake can be used in front of any type of rake that is behind the tractor, for example finger reel, rotary or roller bar. Schinckel Hayrakes owners and staff are very proud of their rakes, which have a good following in the Australian hay industry. Schinckel Hayrakes have won several awards throughout the years. In 2008 Simon won ‘Best Australian Agriculture Machine’ at Henty Field Days with his hydraulic open and shut rake. Ten years later, in 2018, Simon was awarded ‘Best Australian Agricultural Machine’ at Cleve Field Days on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, also receiving ‘Machine of the Year’ at Henty Field Days. These two awards were won for his new, ‘Simpler Smarter Safer Sexier’ series of Hayrakes. In 2019, Simon won the ‘Robert J. Stewart Best Innovation Award’ at Hamilton Sheepvention with his new Opener Series rake. At Dowerin Field Days that year he also won ‘Best New Release Machinery Attachments Award’. Simon is very chuffed about all of his awards. Schinckel Hayrakes has common rake sizes in stock ready for this year’s hay season. People wanting further information on larger or custom built rakes can call Simon on 0428 838 524 to discuss requirements.

BEST WILL DO”

Simon Schinckel has been manufacturing his household name of Hayrakes for more than 30 years. Based at Naracoorte, South Australia, Simon has seen his business grow gradually during this period, with sales figures averaging one rake a week throughout that span. Australian farmers like to buy Aussie made and this product certainly fits the bill. Designs have changed immensely in the way the rakes are manufactured. Simon started manufacturing a basic model to start with, with not too many frills on it – not even hydraulic lift to the reels. A lot of new ideas have been incorporated on his new ‘Simpler Smarter Safer Sexier’ series, in both the Heavy Duty Series and the Next F Series. This very popular model series, which is our biggest seller, has dual castors on the raking arm for a smoother ride in the paddocks and windshields on all reels to prevent material being blown over the top of the reels in windy conditions. Tail lights and hydraulic lift to reels are standard equipment on all of our rakes. There are no pins or clips to be removed for opening or closing the rake. Pins and clips get lost or forgotten about very easily. A new catch that cannot be opened in transport has replaced the pins. The big winner of the new series is the patented inbuilt telescopic arm that is fitted to both the raking arm and main beam, hence there is no lifting to be done to anything on the rake when setting up for raking or closing for transport. This system has a calibrated raking width, which is very easily adjusted. When driving forward the raking arms open out to the users preset raking width. Brakes on the castors have been replaced with truck steering dampners. The 16-18 reel rakes in the Next F Series are also manufactured with rear steering, with two or four reel splitters fitted to them. These rake sizes are also made in a heavy duty version with the option of hydraulic open and shut, front and back of rake for windrow adjustment widths. The larger rakes, 22-28 reel are custom made to meet the purchaser’s needs. Inline rakes are mainly sold in the 15 reel version, that has hydraulic lift and hydraulic rear steering as all standard equipment. Schinckel Hayrakes also manufactures a 24 reel model that is in two, 12-reel models. These are used for raking stubble, mainly in Western Australia. Simon has several 36 reel Inline Rakes working in Western Australia. The world first Opener Series was designed about four or five years ago, and has become a very interesting, much talked about concept. The machine was designed to push apart two windrows that have been left close together, which meant the tractor was running on the cut material

Safe practices front of mind

s National Farm Safety Week has come to a close, WorkSafe Victoria leaders are reminding farmers to build safe practices into operations to ensure they can maintain an enviable farming lifestyle into the future. WorkSafe Victoria acting head of specialist programs and licensing, Rob Kelly, said National Farm Safety Week was a good opportunity for farmers to review their business and ensure they were prioritising safety. The national awareness week ran from July 18 to 24. “We know the ‘it’ll be right’ attitude that is common in agriculture can have deadly consequences,” Mr Kelly said. “Just because you know your farm and have been working it all your life doesn’t mean you can let safety take a back seat. “Taking time to ensure you are providing a safe work environment for yourself, your family and your workers is also the best way to build a productive and sustainable business that can be passed down to the next generation.” Mr Kelly said on average, 14 percent of workplace fatalities occured in the agriculture industry, despite agricultural employees representing only two percent of the state’s workforce. Seven people have died as a result of

a workplace incident on Victorian farms throughout this year. More than one person every day working in agriculture is injured badly enough to lodge a worker’s compensation claim.

Big picture

A Victorian Government $5-million Farm Safety Rebate Scheme is part of a $20 million Smarter, Safer Farms Program, which aims to help farms make permanent safety improvements. The scheme is aimed at improving and increasing awareness of Victoria’s on-farm safety, and upskilling farmers to manage and improve their businesses. Agriculture Minister Gayle Tierney said the government was working with farmers and industry to continue improving farm safety across Victoria. “We encourage farmers to take a proactive role in assessing and addressing safety concerns on their properties,” she said. “Safety on farms is critically important. “National Farm Safety Week is a reminder to farmers to identify risks and make changes so those who work, live or visit farms avoid serious injury.” People wanting more information about the government’s farm safety programs can visit www.agriculture.vic.gov.au/ smartersaferfarms

Farm move inspires dairy interest It was two years ago that Caitlin Martin got her first taste of dairying; now the 19-year-old is looking at a career in the industry. Ms Martin has received a DemoDAIRY Foundation scholarship to support her two-year agribusiness degree studies at Longerenong College. Her interest in pursuing a career in dairy was inspired by her family’s move two years ago from a

beef farm near Mortlake to a joint dairy-beef property at Kariah, near Camperdown. “We now have 1000 acres split between a dairy herd and some Angus beef cattle. This farm had the facilities for dairy so we decided to try that,” she said. While many dairy farmers have gone from dairy to beef over the past decade, Ms Martin is pleased her parents Richard and Kylie

bucked the trend. She said the scholarship opportunity, promoted via the Longerenong College website, would alleviate the financial pressures of studying. “DemoDAIRY had done a lot in the area in the past so it was a good opportunity as I hope to do something that will benefit the dairy industry in the future,” she said. Longerenong College will host an open day on Sunday, August 14.
