ne of regional Victoria’s most influential entrepreneurs and philanthropists Geoff Handbury, AO, has died at his Hamilton home aged 94.

Mr Handbury died peacefully surrounded by his children Matt, Paul, Paddy and Judy and their spouses early yesterday morning. Mr Handbury and his late wife Helen were dedicated champions for communities touched by their business operations and backed up commitment with significant financial support. This philosophy of giving has left a profound stamp on many community centres and ongoing services in cities including Horsham, Ararat, Hamilton, Warrnambool and Albury and their satellite towns and broader regions. Foundations of many everyday Wimmera activities involving health, education, the arts, entertainment, youth and Landcare and farming sustainability received support from the Handburys and ACE Radio Broadcasters. Mr and Mrs Handbury forged what is now ACE Radio Network in partnership with daughter Judy and her husband Rowly Paterson, with Mr Handbury at the organisation’s helm for more than 20 years. Mr Paterson, now ACE chairman, said Mr Handbury had become frail in the past few weeks and his death came with great sadness. “He appeared very content and approached his passing with great dignity, making everyone feel comfortable. He maintained his great sense of humour to the end,” he said. “He was a wonderful family man, father-in-law and partner in business for close on 20 years and we had a wonderful relationship, as he did with all his family. “He and Helen were dedicated in their support of local communities where ACE Radio operated and beyond, and were in a fortunate position to be able to provide help for many causes. They took their social responsibilities very seriously and the projects of which they

were involved are too numerous to mention. It’s a legacy of giving, which we proudly embrace.” Mr Handbury was born in Foster, South Gippsland, the younger brother of John and James to enterprising parents Ormond and Sheila, Ormond having a major role in the family dairy wholesaling business. Mr Handbury continued the family’s business traditions and throughout a diverse career, broken up by wartime service in the navy, pursued a vast array of interests in the import and export and milling and textile industries, farming and ultimately broadcast media as well as his sporting passion for sailing and dedication to Legacy. Mr Handbury’s family had connections to the Western District town of Casterton and with Helen Murdoch, whom he married in 1949, had a yearning for country life. Mr and Mrs Handbury bought a property at Kanagulk in 1972 and pursued a life of farming before opportunities arose to get involved in regional radio where they set foundations for the genesis of the ACE network, which involves a string of regional radio stations through regional Victoria and southern NSW, including 3WM and MIXX FM and newspaper The Weekly Advertiser. ACE Radio Network chief executive Mark Taylor said he could not overstate the tremendous impact Mr Handbury had on the organisation’s managers and staff. “Geoff wore many hats in his life – sailor, naval officer, farmer, entrepreneur and businessman, importer and exporter, radio network owner and, more importantly, devoted husband, father and friend,” he said. “He was a true businessman, professional and gentleman and ACE Radio would simply not be the thriving business and regional radio stalwart it is without his guidance, knowledge, innovation, integrity and passion for the industry. He will be as greatly missed as he was admired.” Mr Handbury’s family members are working on funeral details, which will involve a private burial and a memorial service.

Kannamaroo set to revitalise city A

BY LOTTE REITER

three-day jamboree will hit Horsham this weekend as Kannamaroo Festival committee works to invigorate the town with music, events and activities. The annual festival will kick off at 9am on Friday, with a street party in Horsham’s shopping heart at 6pm, before eventually leading into Carols by Candlelight celebrations on Sunday. The partnership between the two community events is a new feature this year, and one of many that Kannamaroo committee chair Di Bell said was part of a goal to expand celebra-

tions and revive Horsham’s central business district. She said in addition to gradually incorporating more events into the festival, the committee had also been changing the atmosphere of its night street party by adding more interactive displays and activities across the years. “We’ve progressively moved from having mainly static displays to them being interactive, so you really can’t walk along without getting involved in something,” she said. “We’ve always wanted to revitalise the CBD, and the only way to do that or revitalise an environment in general

is to bring in the people. So, we need events, music and activity that is going to do that. “People need people. You only need to look at the community street piano – it’s amazing. It creates atmosphere when people are playing on it and a different feeling for the people walking by.” As part of this transition, Mrs Bell said Friday night’s festival from 6pm would include live music, singalongs with Horsham Arts Council’s Mamma Mia cast, children’s entertainer and ‘bubble man’ Mr Oopy, a ‘Game On!’ gaming event with headspace Horsham and traditional amusement rides.

“Some of the schools from the area will also bring their human-powered vehicles down,” she said. Mrs Bell said Saturday would feature footpath trading, sand-sculpting workshops with world-renowned sand sculptor Dennis Massoud and the 20th annual Salvos Charity and Toy Ride in the morning. She said this would be followed by Horsham Aquatic Centre’s monster inflatable pool party from midday to 3pm, and a Horsham Lanes and Games family night event of ten-pin bowling. Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation’s The Great Wimmera River

Duck Race, which involves 2000 plastic ducks racing across the river, will also return on Sunday from 4pm. “We’re on a mission in town to bring events together into a festival, in a way where events complement each other,” Mrs Bell said. She said Firebrace Street would be closed from 5pm on Friday for set up of the street party, adding people needed to remove their cars from the street before 5pm. She said some car parks would also be unavailable on Thursday for preparation of larger rides.

Planning rethink

IN FULL VOICE: Horsham Carols By Candlelight Youth Choir is busy rehearsing for the 2019 event.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Paladino to help spread Christmas cheer Carols by Candlelight concerts in Horsham and Edenhope on Sunday will kick off a series of musical Christmas celebrations across the Wimmera, Grampians and southern Mallee. The Horsham carols event has joined forces with the city’s Kannamaroo Festival and is expected to draw a large crowd to Sawyer Park. Internationally renowned singer Silvie Paladino, a regular performer at Melbourne’s nationally televised Carols by Candlelight on Christmas Eve, will be a drawcard for Horsham crowds. Ms Paladino will perform alongside a group of Wimmera musicians and sing about 10 songs. The carols will start at 5.30pm and continue to 10pm, with Horsham

Town Hall a backup venue in the case of poor weather. Food and drink stalls will be available at Sawyer Park. Ms Paladino said she was excited to return to the Wimmera after performing a show at Horsham Church of Christ last year. She said the Horsham show would be her first performance of the Christmas season. “I am looking forward to spending time in country Victoria,” she said. “It’s great to get out to the regional places that don’t have as many big entertainers coming though. “Performing in regional areas like Horsham, I’ve found the people are a bit warmer and a bit more open. “I think Christmas time brings out the best in people anyway and I’m

very much looking forward to coming out there.” Ms Paladino said it was always fun working with new musicians. “It’s great to get an opportunity to perform alongside local musicians, especially when they’re up and coming younger people,” she said. “It’s great to be able to impart your knowledge and your understanding of the industry. “I hope I’m a good example when people meet me and they see we’re all the same, we just have different gifts we’re able to use.” Ms Paladino said people should expect a ‘great night’ and bring along a picnic rug and food to share. She said the Christmas spirit at carols events often proved infectious. “People normally hate audience in-

teraction – whenever I do that at a concert people look straight ahead and pray I’m not going to pick them to do any singing – but somehow at Christmas time people don’t mind singing Christmas carols and really getting into the spirit of it,” she said. Edenhope carols, presented by the Lions Club and churches of Edenhope, will start at 6pm at Henley Park, with several Edenhope district performers taking part. Other events will include a Stawell Christmas parade and carols on December 13 from 7pm at the town hall, Nhill carols from 6.30pm at Jaypex Park on December 14 and Ararat carols at Alexandra Gardens from 6pm on December 14. – Colin MacGillivray

Horsham municipal leaders have reopened investigations into alternative sites for a proposed new sport centre. The decision is among a raft of changes to a Draft City to River Masterplan involving sports facilities, city centre and riverfront, based on community feedback. Horsham Rural City Council attracted 740 public submissions to the draft and adopted recommendations to reflect the feedback and divide the plan into sub-precincts. Sub-precincts include a central activity district, Firebrace Street’s connection to the Wimmera River, Horsham Botanic Gardens, Horsham City Oval and Sawyer Park, Showgrounds Crownland, Showgrounds Freehold and Riverfront. The council has also changed gardens planning to include croquet and lawn tennis courts and miniature railway in future developments. Mayor Mark Radford said there were a variety of community responses from a wide age range. “Subject to the outcome of a rescission motion at the next council meeting, there are things that can be done sooner rather than later and some that will require more planning,” he said. Cr Radford said the next step was to start a schematic-design process for parts of the masterplan, strongly supported in the public feedback. “This involves deciding exactly what things will look like and where they should go,” he said. “Examples of individual projects that are at that stage include the Horsham City Oval and Sawyer Park concepts, riverfront improvement such as a cafe and splash park and enhancements to the way Firebrace Street connects to the river.” A full summary of changes to the draft masterplan is available online at www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au.

Leaders vow to win back residents’ trust BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

arriambiack Shire Council leaders have vowed to win back residents’ trust after a report revealed governance failings by senior officers and mismanagement of money, materials and equipment by staff.

Mayor Graeme Massey said a scathing assessment of the council’s management practices, policy and record-keeping by the Local Government Inspectorate had been a catalyst for sweeping changes within the organisation. The inspectorate began investigating the council after receiving an anonymous complaint in June last year that alleged a series of serious breaches of the Local Government Act. An investigation that started at the council’s Hopetoun depot expanded to include the management practices of senior council officers. A report found that council staff at the Hopetoun depot undertook private works using council equipment during work hours and were often paid in cash or with gifts such as slabs of beer. Staff were also encouraged to personally buy equipment before leasing it back to the council to draw extra income. One employee made more than $450,000 leasing a water truck to the council during an eight-year period, while another claimed $174,500 by leasing a truck and trailer to the council for two years. There were no formal contracts in either case. The report also raised questions about

unauthorised sale of council equipment. The anonymous whistleblower alleged a council-owned cherry picker was sold without authorisation and proceeds distributed among depot workers. The investigation found the council owned a cherry picker in the mid-1990s and, despite paying registration and insurance for a cherry picker until recently, did not possess one. Questions were also raised about senior management, including what were described as ‘unprecedented’ termination payouts for senior council officers of up to $416,000. The council was found to be owed more than $1.5-million in outstanding rates, with poor record-keeping stymying its ability to track or collect rates owed.

Blame

The report also questioned the use of council credit cards, which was at times found not to be in accordance with the council’s own credit-card policy. The report laid most of the blame for the council’s failings at the feet of senior staff, including the former chief executive. The report found the former CEO and senior managers ‘allowed poor behaviours and practices to go unchallenged and did not commit to implementing performance-development strategies for themselves or their staff’. Cr Massey said the council had accepted its failings and was now committed to winning back the trust of residents by implementing 52 recommendations

in the report. “To regain community support, we have to show we’re taking action,” he said. “Our new chief executive Jessie Holmes has taken over and done an extremely good job since July last year. “Almost from day one she has taken steps to bring the workplace up to the standard it should have been at prior to her arriving. “We’ve already been working on rectifying nearly a third of the recommendations, including making sure our governance and policy is up to date.” Cr Massey said while it was obvious staff at the Hopetoun depot had been involved in questionable practices, it was senior management that should bear most of the blame. “I think we’re lucky the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission wasn’t involved because it’s clear some of the matters at the Hopetoun depot did involve theft,” he said. “I don’t want to see outdoor staff victimised over this because I don’t think they were the ones who were dishonest; it’s the people who allowed it to happen and didn’t monitor it properly. “It was a common practice 20 or 30 years ago to do in-kind favours for people when you were a worker, but that has got to stop. “We certainly hope everyone is on the same page now. “We’re all reading from the same page, it’s about whether we’re going to implement what is on that page.”

Newspaper shines in industry awards A

full list of results from Victorian Country Press Association’s annual awards has revealed another consistent year from The Weekly Advertiser.

Coming hot on the heels of Paul Carracher’s Best Sports Photograph award for a newspaper with a circulation of more than 6000 was also major recognition for overall newspaper excellence, an advertising feature and sport story. The awards break-down showed The Weekly Advertiser, apart from clinching a photographic win, also won a commendation, or third place, for Overall Newspaper Excellence Award in the over-6000 category. It finished behind large south-east

Melbourne publication Pakenham Berwick Gazette, winner, and Warragul and Drouin Gazette, highly commended. Judge Alan Pont, who has spent 30 years in the publishing industry, said The Weekly Advertiser was well supported by run-of-press advertisers and had grown as a complete community newspaper. “The weekly editorial adds authority to the newspaper while a sports section is supported by advertisers. The paper’s website provides a comprehensive coverage of major stories.” The Weekly Advertiser also attracted high commendation for Best Advertising Feature for a newspaper with a circulation over 6000.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

The accolade, which equated to a joint second place with Mountains View Mail behind South Gippsland Sentinel-Times, was for the newspaper’s AgLife – 57th Wimmera Machinery Field Days feature. Judge Greg Watson, part of a fivegeneration Australian publishing and printing dynasty, said in his comments of The Weekly Advertiser’s submission, “A magnificent high-content 44page feature on the region’s major

agricultural industry event. Strong local event-focussed editorial and high percentage content of quality advertisements. “Congratulations on the support this effort would have obviously provided to the success of the field days.” A sports story on Horsham basketball export Mitch Creek and with photographic support from Paul Carracher, also collected a high commendation, or joint second place, in a Best Sports Story category for circulation over 6000. Judge Patrick Elligett from The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age said of the story, “A classic tale of the local sportsperson returning home covered in glory but told with a sense of fun

that is highly contagious. An easyto-read, smile-inducing piece wellsupported by great photography.” The Weekly Advertiser and Mildura Weekly shared second place behind Pakenham Berwick Gazette. The Weekly Advertiser’s strong performance is the result of an enormous week-to-week effort from a dedicated team. What is particularly pleasing is that our publication has done exceptionally well in a category that includes publications supported by large teams and considerable resources. I’m extremely proud of everyone involved.

GRAFFITI WITH PURPOSE: Melbourne graffiti artist Daniel Venn puts the finishing touches on a mural on the side of Horsham’s Centre for Participation building in Urquhart Street before its official launch last week. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Mural marks completion The side of Horsham’s Centre for Participation building in Urquhart Street has transformed into a surge of colour following completion of a piece of street artwork. Melbourne graffiti artist Dan Wenn, from creative studio 90 Degrees, worked with the municipality’s youth to create the 4.8 by 7.5-metre mural. The work is meant to depict a diverse group of people putting their hands up to participate and get involved. Centre for Participation learning and development manager Robbie Millar said money from the State Government’s Graffiti Prevention Grants allocated to Horsham

Wednesday, November 27, 2019

Rural City Council funded the project. The graffiti grants program aims to teach people the difference between legal artwork and illegal graffiti. Mr Millar said the mural supported the organisation’s work in crime prevention with different youth organisations, and involved its ‘Young G’ multicultural group. He said Wenn ran anti-graffiti education and painting workshops with young people to teach art skills and help them contribute to the piece. “It was the same bucket of money that Horsham Rural City Council worked with to do the wall outside of Coles,” he said

“We had Dan come down and run the workshops, teach 12 young people skills and work with us to develop an idea. “We really were after an image of participation and diversity, because here in the Wimmera we are a very diverse region and that’s only continuing to grow.” Mr Millar said the result was a piece of art that showed people it was possible to do something good with their art skills instead of creating illegal graffiti. “And the other benefit is that we are obviously rid of a plain white wall,” he joked. – Lotte Reiter

PUBLIC NOTICES 27 November 2019

Local representatives needed for Rural Road Network Review Horsham Rural City Council is undertaking a detailed review of its rural road network and is seeking community representatives from across the municipality to support the community engagement and planning for the review.

Horsham Rural City Council has made alterations to its Draft City to River Masterplan following a review of feedback gathered during this year’s public consultation period.

The review aims to: •

City to River planning moves to next stage

Identify freight connections in the municipality’s rural areas Establish a priority farm machinery network, to facilitate the passage of agricultural implements with reduced potential for conflict with main traffic routes Enhance safety across the rural road network Identify economically-sustainable improvements to provide all weather access to key farming property locations Rationalise the road network where appropriate Develop an achievable service level and maintenance standards across Council’s sealed and unsealed rural road network.

The Draft Masterplan was developed as a series of conceptual ideas and possibilities for the future of Horsham’s sports facilities, city centre and riverfront.

The review has a strong community engagement focus and Council is seeking nominations from the community to help identify the relevant issues and opportunities to improve the network whilst maintaining a cost-effective level of service.

These sub-precincts are the central activity district, Firebrace Street’s connection to the river, Botanic Gardens, City Oval and Sawyer Park, Showgrounds Crownland, Showgrounds Freehold and Riverfront.

•

Some 740 official submissions were received during the feedback period from 4 July to August 30 which included discussions with key user groups. The Council adopted a series of recommendations at its November meeting on Monday night to amend the Draft Masterplan to reflect feedback from residents and groups and divide the plan into sub-precincts.

Seven rural locations have been identified with nominations sought from each of those locations as well as a representative from the rural townships.

port Council engage with locals to understand the planning processes and aims of the project, identify those issues, problems and opportunities and communicate the outcomes as they develop.

Steering Committee chairperson Robyn Gulline said the project was crucial to the planning of the desired service level of our rural roads and the role they play in supporting farming practices.

“Council understands that farmers are approaching harvest period and whilst calling for nominations now, the community role in the project will begin in February next year,” she said.

“Farming equipment is not the same as it was 20 years ago and it is now opportune to review and revise how the road network can support farmers whilst protecting safety for all road users,” Ms Gulline said.

Nominations are called for from interested locals. The geographical areas, nomination forms and further details can be obtained from the Have Your Say section of Council’s website.

“We are looking for community representatives to help us understand the current issues and to sup

Nominations close on 23 December 2019. Please contact Community Facilitator Martin Bride 53829777 with any questions.

A notable decision was to amend botanic gardens and riverfront planning to include Horsham Croquet Club, lawn tennis courts and miniature railway in future developments. The Council also opted to undertake further investigation about the preferred location of the proposed new regional standard facilities for both outdoor and indoor sports. Mayor Mark Radford said the Council thanked everybody who contributed to the feedback process.

“There are some things that can be done sooner rather than later and there are some things that will require more planning.” Cr Radford said the next step was to start the schematic design process for parts of the masterplan which had been strongly supported in the public feedback.

“This involves deciding exactly what things will look like and exactly where they should go,” he said. “Examples of individual projects that are at that stage include the City Oval and Sawyer Park concepts, the riverfront improvement such as a cafe and splash park and enhancements to the way Firebrace Street connects to river. Cr Radford said the decision to divide the masterplan into specific precincts provided an opportunity for user groups to work with Council to ensure detailed designing aligns with the long-term vision of user groups. “Subject to the outcome of a rescission motion at the next Council Meeting, there will be opportunities for people to perhaps sit on a steering committee or a project control group. There will also be more chances for the wider public to provide feedback through questionnaires and workshops,” he said. “It may take 12 months, but where we want to end up is to have a final City to River Masterplan that the Horsham community owns and is proud of.”

“It would be fair to say that there was a variety of responses from a wide age range and we acknowledge everybody’s efforts,” Cr Radford said.

Coffee campaign to tackle violence Horsham Rural City Council has partnered with the city’s cafes for the 16 Days of Activism against gender based violence campaign.

Horsham South Structure Plan It is anticipated that the Horsham South area will undergo change over the coming decades. Therefore Council is developing a Structure Plan that will identify a future vision for the area that captures the community’s objectives and aspirations. It will also provide a broader assessment of opportunities and issues that will need to be considered for the period beyond the 20-year horizon. The plan provides the foundation for the pursuit of more detailed statutory planning provisions, amendments to the Planning Scheme as well as design and development initiatives, for specific areas and activities in Horsham South. It will also guide Council policies, programs and projects relating to community, economic, social, environmental, and physical initiatives.

Cafe Jas, Cafe Red Cherry, Cheeky Fox, Laneway Cafe and The Fig Tree Cafe will sell takeaway coffee cups featuring the ‘Call It Out’ logo which aims to start conversations about the prevention of violence against women. The 16 Days Campaign runs from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) until 10 December (International Human Rights Day). The focus of this year’s campaign is bystander action, as championed by the Respect Victoria foundation. Gender-based violence includes all forms of violence against people based on their gender, however it is most often used in reference to men’s violence against women. This campaign encourages people to intervene when they witness sexual harassment and gender inequality – drivers that can lead to family violence and violence against women. In Australia, one woman is murdered by a current or former partner each week, and one in four women have experienced sexual harassment. Violence against women and their children costs Australia $22 billion each year.

CALL IT OUT: HRCC’s Gender Equity Officer Renee Hollier and Fig Tree Cafe’s Brad Koenig. As a member of the CoRE (Communities of Respect and Equality) Alliance, Horsham Rural City Council is committed to creating a safe, equal and respectful community that supports the prevention of (or is free from) violence against women and children. 1800 RESPECT is the national sexual assault, domestic and family violence counselling service available 24/7. If you or someone you know is experiencing family violence, help is available. If you believe someone is in immediate

The Structure Plan acknowledges the extent of work that the Horsham community has already undertaken in identifying our future aspirations. It aims to build upon this work and contribute to the implementation of community objectives by creating an effective, integrated and coordinated vehicle through which to pursue them.

Workforce brainstorm a good start L

BY DEAN LAWSON

iveability, employmentopportunity promotion and home-grown education are initial themes to emerge from an in-depth Wimmera and southern Mallee think-tank session into regional workforce needs.

Session organisers expect an assessment and summary of ideas from the Horsham gathering, which will be presented to the State Government, to further expand on the themes. Industry leaders, employers and workers gathered at the Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership deep-dive forum to dissect issues surrounding workforce issues and consider ways of attracting, re-

taining and training workers. The forum, at the headquarters of Horsham business Smallaire in Golf Course Road, included Victorian Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes, Jobs, Innovation and Trade Minister Martin Pakula and Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria Danielle Green. The session was in response to the regional partnership identifying a need to fill workforce shortages across the region, particularly in health, education, early-years, aged-care and service-support industries, as a priority. Many consider the workforce issue a symptom of regional population decline with people leaving the region to train, develop skills and improve their qualifications.

Partnership chairman David Jochinke said the session provided an opportunity for participants to put ideas on the table and ‘pull the issue apart from different angles’. “It led to a melting pot of ideas about workforce attraction and retention and a need for us to develop and grow our own. It was very much focused on local business, education providers, service providers and identifying opportunities and blockages,” he said. “Liveability included everything from affordable housing, education, health and infrastructure services to telecommunication and roads. “For example, an overarching question is: do we have a region that is attractive enough for people to come and stay to raise families? It is also

about understanding what we have – does this promote jobs? “Other questions include, what are emerging industries as well as agriculture? What does mining mean for the area? What does it all mean for our regional community? “Then there was discussion about career opportunities and how we need to promote ourselves. “The truth is we have many leading-edge technologies in the Wimmera but tend to sell ourselves short. “For example we don’t necessarily advertise the region through promotion of job packages, where family partners coming into the region might find jobs in different sectors. “And then there was the concept of growing our own workforce by ex-

ploring more education opportunities. “The deep-dive revealed these themes, but after exploring information gathered from the session there could well be more. “We basically have a bucketload of information to sift through and after we do that will circulate a clearer picture of what we’ve identified. “It is then about considering, through discussion and planning, what we can either do ourselves or how we can work with government ministers and agencies to meet identified solutions.” The Wimmera Southern Mallee Partnership is one of nine regional volunteer partnership bodies across Victoria established by the State Government in 2016.

Communities unite against violence The former Wimmera White Ribbon Committee turned a new chapter on its domestic-violence prevention campaign at an annual Walk Against Violence. Wimmera performer Dave McMaster led hundreds of people in the awareness march along Horsham’s Firebrace Street, ending in May Park for a presentation and barbecue. Following the collapse of its leading national organisation – White Ribbon Australia – the committee used the event to announce its new name: Wimmera Committee Against Family Violence. Chair Geoff Miller said the group would continue to raise community awareness of family violence. He also announced five regional, anti-violence male ambassadors. The men’s positions were organised before White Ribbon Australia’s demise in early October, making them the last regional ambassadors under the White Ribbon name. Mr Miller said the ambassadors were men who were prepared to stand up and be counted in addressing the issue of male violence

Ambassadors are GWMWater managing director Mark Williams, AXIS Employment consultant Steven Holmes, Horsham Rural City Council technical operations co-ordinator Shane Podolski, and Victoria

Police officers Eddie Malpas and Josh Barnett. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy spoke at the event. She said while there was still a long way to go in eliminating domestic violence, the event’s turnout showed ‘we are making good progress’. “Every year I like to participate in the march and it’s fantastic to see so many supporters come out and join

the march, but also show support street-side,” she said. “Unfortunately, in our region, we have some of the highest rates of domestic violence, not just in the state but across Australia. “We know we need to do better and that’s why we’re out supporting the Wimmera Committee Against Family Violence.” – Lotte Reiter

Minister observes FIVE-DAY forecast ° ° ° 27 25 20 program in action A

visit to Horsham has provided Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes with first-hand insight into how award-winning early-years project BY FIVE is helping children and their families in the region. Ms Symes was in Horsham as part of a Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership gathering and visited Horsham’s Kalkee Road Children and Community Hub to see the program in action. BY FIVE, which helps children transition from early-years centres to primary schools regardless of where they live, is a Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership project supported by the State Government. The program has project clusters in five Wimmera centres to ensure families can connect to services required. In Horsham, a transition group with representatives from district schools and early-childhood education has examined how children and their parents view the school-transition experience and how it could be smoother. As a result children moving from kindergarten to primary school are now provided with transition statements to support the change, which

Wednesday, November 27, 2019

builds connections between kindergarten teachers and schools. Parents can also attend forums and provide feedback online on what families need to know about the transition. BY FIVE is one of the first Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership-driven projects and is possible through a partnership between the Department of Education and Training and the Department of Health and Human Services, with support from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. Earlier this year, BY FIVE won the Continuity of Early Learning award at Victorian Government Early Years Awards. “The years from kindergarten to the start of primary school are some of the most essential in a child’s education,” Ms Symes said. ‘The BY FIVE program is making sure kids across the Wimmera and southern Mallee have the best start to school, no matter where they live. “The BY FIVE initiative is another excellent example of the regional partnerships facilitating a program to help tackle a priority issue identified specifically by locals for their communities.”

Vet Bingo success A near full-house at Horsham Veterinary Hospital’s first Music Bingo for Pets has provided incentive for the group to consider hosting another in the future. Business manager Craig Marrow said the fundraiser at Horsham Community Sports Pavilion on Saturday raised more than $3000, with 87 of 100 tickets sold. He said this included a $500 donation from the hospital. The money was split equally and donated to Horsham animal welfare groups Horsham PAWS and Phoenix Animal Rescue. Mr Marrow said the evening’s success was the result of ‘great support’ from Horsham businesses and community. “The night would not have been possible had it not been for the generous donations of prizes and auction items, from local businesses and HVH suppliers,” he said. “We had people from businesses who donated prizes, and on top of that also purchased a full table of tickets to attend and bid in the silent auction, so they were really donating two or three times across the night. The night was made even better by having Tim O’Donnell as the DJ. “Definitely, if the interest was there again, we would consider running another in the future.”

The show goes on A

BY LOTTE REITER

sk anyone involved with Horsham Arts Council and they would likely say it is ‘exciting times’ for the Wimmera theatre company.

After closing the curtain on its two premier productions – Rock of Ages and Mamma Mia – for the year, the group was back under the spotlight following a week of award nominations as well as cast announcements for its first 2020 show. A Broadway Showcase, featuring 24 musicals previously unsung by the council, will have 70 cast members performing songs from the likes of Wicked, Matilda and Hamilton in May next year. But before the production hits the stage, Horsham Arts Council hopes to secure a win from eight nominations in the Music Theatre Guild of Victoria, MTGV, awards. The awards will be at the 33rd Bruce Awards Ceremony at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Ballarat on December 14. Council president Simon Dandy said the group joined the guild in 2007 and had received either a commendation or nomination for every show since Cats in 2008. He said while Horsham Arts Council members never did shows for awards, nominations were confirmation the group was ‘stacking up’ against its peers. “It really is the icing on the cake,” he said. “We know we have had two really good shows this year – to get the sold-out shows that we did for Mamma Mia and Rock of Ages, that’s all we care about. “But if we get to take home any awards, that provides us with the knowledge that we’re doing something good.” Council’s MTGV nominations this year are Liam Robertson, junior performer in an open production for Mamma Mia and Rock of Ages, and dancers award for Mamma Mia; Susie Mibus, ABBA costumes for Mamma Mia; Jessica Wilson, supporting role for Rock of Ages; Brady King, supporting role for Rock of Ages; Shane Podolski, lighting design for Rock of Ages; and Horsham Arts Council, award of excellence. Liam, 16, admitted he ‘never really expected’ to be

in the running for an MTGV award. The Horsham College student said he was moving to Melbourne next year after being accepted into performing arts school Patrick Studios Australia, with a long-term goal of entering a Broadway career. He said his three MTGV nominations, for roles of Franz in Rock of Ages and Pepper in Mamma Mia, meant he was taking the right steps to advance his profession. “It’s quite exciting. It’s pretty much been the whole year that I’ve put so much work into this, and to be recognised for that at a state level is pretty surreal,” he said. “Particularly in a performing career where nothing is certain, this is a good pat on the back.” Fellow Horsham Arts Council nominee recipient Jessica Wilson, who has had nominations and won awards for previous shows including Horsham Arts Council’s Godspell, said this year’s nomination was equally unexpected and exciting.

Huge response

Mrs Wilson is also producer for the upcoming Broadway Showcase. She said the arts council had received a huge response when casting roles, with performers including Chris Versteegen, Grant Johnson, Pam Deckert and Rachel De Graca Costa, as well as children’s cast Orlan Hart, Harriet Overman and Claudia Lopez, among the successful. “We had more than 100 people audition,” she said. “We originally hoped for a cast of 50, but we’ve blown it out to 70. It was getting to the point where we might have been saying ‘no’ to really talented people, so we just thought ‘what’s 20 more?’ “There’s such a mix of musicals that are part of it, from new ones that are out on Broadway, as well as the classics. I think that’s why we had such a huge response. It’s exciting times.” Mrs Wilson said cast members came from a variety of towns including Ararat, Warracknabeal, Nhill and Rupanyup. She said the group would start rehearsals in mid to late January, 2020.

CONVERSATION: Acting Senior Sergeant Eddie Malpas, left, and Constable Nathan Dunn will be among Victoria Police Ararat officers sitting down with the community for a ‘Coffee with a Cop’ session at Ararat RSL on Friday morning. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Opportunity for a chat Removing barriers around speaking to and interacting with police will be the focus of a community engagement program in Ararat on Friday. Northern Grampians Police Service Area is hosting Coffee With A Cop at Ararat RSL from 10.30am to 12.30pm. The event provides people a chance to share a ‘cuppa’ with a member of the police force and discuss regional policing issues, ask for advice or raise any concerns in an informal environment. Acting Senior Sergeant Eddie Malpas said Coffee With A Cop happened in other policing divisions across Victoria and interstate, and always left a good impression with people. He said policing ultimately relied on community interaction and involvement,

and the activity would be another step forward in building a stronger relationship between Ararat police and community. “It’s a low-key opportunity for members of the public to chat with police and ask questions,” he said. “It gives people the opportunity to talk to police casually rather than come across police who are on the job. “We are looking forward to chatting to people who come along and are hopeful that it will be something that continues into the future.” Snr Sgt Malpas said the first 25 people to meet with police on the day would also receive a complimentary hot beverage. – Lotte Reiter

niting Wimmera is encouraging residents to give back this festive season as the number of people seeking access to services because of financial stress, violence or drug and alcohol abuse rises.

The not-for-profit community organisation has launched its annual Christmas appeal. The campaign works in partnership with the Salvation Army and the Christian Emergency Food Centre to distribute gifts, vouchers and food to Wimmera families in crisis. Uniting Wimmera chief executive Josh Koenig said while this harvest season appeared okay for the region’s farming communities, previous poor harvests were still affecting the economy and job opportunities. He said many people were also troubled

with dropping wages and rising costs of rent. “Christmas is supposed to be a wonderful time of year. But for many people it can be the most difficult time of all,” he said. “We are seeing a rise in people who are experiencing financial stress, poor mental health, family violence and alcohol and other drug issues coming to our services for help.” Mr Koenig said Uniting Wimmera provided $169,729 worth of crisis and housing support in the 2018-2019 financial year, compared with $135,615 the previous year. He said many people were struggling to buy food or pay their rent or bills on time, which made buying gifts for children at Christmas ‘even less of a priority’ for people. Because of this, Mr Koenig said it was an important time for Wimmera residents who could, to support the region’s struggling

families and make Christmas ‘that little bit more special’ through Uniting’s Christmas appeals. “We have partnerships with multiple organisations, including Toyworld, and we’ll help families get presents under the tree,” he said. Mr Koenig said Uniting was also part of the Target Christmas Appeal and was collecting food through its Food for Families campaign, aiming to gather more than 70 tonnes of food to keep families fed throughout 2020. He said people could donate gifts, vouchers or food at Uniting’s office on Baillie Street in Horsham, as well as at drop-off points including Anytime Fitness, Target Horsham, Horsham’s Bank of Melbourne, Woodbine Warracknabeal, Country Essentials Warracknabeal and headspace Horsham.

Music, art under lights

COUNTRY WESTERN

family festival in the heart of Horsham’s Central Business District on December 6 will feature live music, art, children’s activities and an opportunity for people to relax in the build-up to Christmas.

Horsham Town Hall team members will present the freeof-charge ‘Festoon’ in an enclosed town hall carpark off Pynsent Street from 6pm. The event, the last the town hall team will present before a big Wimmera 60 Years of Rock reunion extravaganza in February, is due to a positive community response to a trial ‘pop-up’ Festoon a fortnight ago. Horsham Town Hall marketing officer Charee Smith said the event also came on the back of a strong community request earlier this year for more outdoor events. “What people wanted as part of an outdoor development plan involving performing and visual arts was more free, outdoor, family-friendly events with live music. And that is what we are presenting,” she said. “People will be able to enter the Festoon car park, which is a natural enclosure, from Pynsent Street and experience a range of activities, performances and displays. “There will be art-making

Picture: CHAREE SMITH activities, a performance by Goroke singer Melanie Koop and from 7.30pm Horsham rock band Johnny Thunder and the Lightnings will play with a full sound and light show.” Ms Smith said the band performance would also provide a sneak preview of what people could expect with Wimmera 60 Years of Rock. “In a nutshell, Festoon will

be a celebration of art, performance and community within Horsham’s shopping heart,” she said. “It is going to be a lot of fun. The pop-up trial produced many positive comments and after the feedback people can expect a more fine-tuned presentation. It will be even better. “It is designed for families and the general public, so we

encourage everyone to come down, bring a chair or bring a rug and settle in for a great evening out.” The name Festoon is based on the concept of people gathering for an evening under lights and the stars. Stakeholders involved in February’s rock-music reunion met last week to formalise planning details.

Final Stawell Christmas tree festival A wonderland of decorated Christmas trees and other decorations, crafted by various community groups, businesses, schools and individuals, awaits visitors at Stawell’s Christmas Tree Festival. Event spokeswoman Lois Nuske said the event, established 15 years ago, would be the last under the mantle of St Peter’s Lutheran Church Fellowship. “It is with enormous thanks to all contributors and regular support from Stawell businesses that this became an annual event,” she said.

“It would be wonderful to see someone else take it on. “It has for 15 years, led us into this most joyous season with all the beauty of Christmas on show.” The festival will be at Stawell Entertainment Centre from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 3pm. Saturday morning of the event, from 10am to 12.30pm, will again feature a kids craft corner. Also back by popular demand is a lucky dip from Santa’s sleigh and children’s

quiz, both running over the two days. On Sunday from 1.30pm, Stawell 502 Primary School Music and Choral group, Stawell Ukulele group with guest vocalist Sarah Dunlop, interspersed by community carol singing, will provide entertainment. Organisers have invited people to browse the display and Christmas gift stalls and vote for favourite exhibits, sit and have a ‘cuppa’ and catch up with friends. Entry fee is $6, which includes refreshments, with children under 15 admitted free of charge.

The Australian wool market has been unable to maintain last week’s positive momentum, instead recording losses across the entire merino range and resulting in a full reversal of last week’s 19-cent gain in the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator; the EMI finished 19 cents lower at 1555 cents. Overall there were increased prices during that previous series which encouraged more sellers to the market and pushed the national quantity up to 38,298 bales this week, however compared to the corresponding sale of the previous season the national offering was 10,000 bales lower, and to date 12% less bales have been put through the auction system this season. A weak finish from the Fremantle region late last week prompted a slip at the opening of the Eastern markets this sale. 19.0 micron and coarser recorded the largest reductions, the individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) for these wools fell by 8 to 35 cents in Sydney and Melbourne on Wednesday and continued to retract as the day progressed, falling by 22 to 44 cents in Fremantle late in the day. The softer tone carried into Thursday where the market continued to track downward but at a more subdued rate than the previous day. The individual MPGs across in the Eastern centres were mostly 10 to 20 cents cheaper, although the broader ranges of 21/22 microns showed some promise, closing marginally higher. Fremantle continued this trend and ended the week on an encouraging note, firming 5 cents clean dearer for most microns. Merino Skirtings continued to find good support and closed ahead for the better types, particularly in the finer microns. The Merino Carding Indicators had mixed results depending on the region but were in line with last week while the Crossbreds were slightly cheaper.

Regional motorcyclists will gather on Natimuk’s Main Street on Saturday morning to ride with a police escort to Horsham to support the Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal. This year’s Annual Salvos Charity and Toy Ride, involving riders on a variety of machines, will focus on disadvantaged children across the district. It also marks 20 years for this ride and organisers are hoping for a great turnout of motorcycles and support. Part of Horsham’s Kannamaroo Festival, the event will start with riders gathering in Natimuk from 9.30am to 10.30am. Ride co-ordinator Jenni Papst said support for the ride had grown annually and now included ‘wonderful’ support from Natimuk’s A and P Society, which prepared egg and bacon rolls with coffee for riders in Natimuk. “Natimuk and Horsham police Highway Patrol have always been great supporters of the annual

ride and will again lead the group, following a 10.30am briefing, from Natimuk into Roberts Place in Horsham, arriving about 11.10am,” she said. Lieutenant Chris Sutton from Salvation Army Horsham said every year riders supporting the event ‘go the extra mile’. “We purchase gift cards for teenagers with cash donations and the quality of gifts for younger recipients has been fantastic,” he said. Mrs Papst encouraged riders to get into the spirit of the event by decorating themselves and their motorcycles. “A prize will be awarded for best effort; you really do need to tie that tinsel down, however,” she said.

New SmartFarm boon for region V

ictoria’s grains industry and the Wimmera’s wider agriculture sector are set to be at the forefront of farm technology with the opening of Horsham SmartFarm.

Victorian Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes officially launched the SmartFarm at Horsham Grains Innovation Park during a visit to the Wimmera. The SmartFarm will focus on fast-tracking the development and on-farm adoption of digital agriculture innovations and support the training and development of the region’s farm workforce. The Horsham farm is the first of four SmartFarms to be opened across the state as part of a $5-million State Government investment through its SmartSkills from SmartFarms Program, designed to build skills in science and digital agriculture. The new SmartFarm will use facilities at Grains Innovation Park including the Australian Grains Genebank and Plant Phenomics Victoria, as well as a 600-hectare research farm. The project will support 100 research and innovation staff members focused on engaging Victorian grain growers in cutting-edge digital technology to increase their productivity, profitability and sustainability. Research activities at the SmartFarm will include the use of remote-sensing tools to identify frost damage, the development of automated remote irrigation systems to mimic disease conducive conditions, and an imaging system to help growers determine the quality of their grain. Complementing the SmartFarms project is a new Centre for Agricultural Innovation, a

research partnership between the government, Agriculture Victoria and the University of Melbourne. The Centre for Agricultural Innovation will undertake research activities at Agriculture Victoria’s SmartFarms throughout Victoria, hosting PhD students enrolled with the University of Melbourne, who will generate new knowledge and advance science frontiers. The government is partnering with industry, agribusiness and communities to build SmartFarms in key regional centres across the state as gateways to research, innovation, technology and skills development for Victoria’s major agriculture industries. Ms Symes said the government had been working with Victorian farmers to understand how digital technology could revolutionise their businesses. “Now we’re working with some of the world’s best and brightest agricultural minds to bring this technology to life,” she said. “On top of their benefits to farmers, SmartFarms will attract top researchers and agriculture technology businesses to regional Victoria – boosting the local economies and communities that thrive on farming.” The development is likely to also complement a $3.6-million Demonstration of Agricultural Technology Applications – DATA – farm project at Longerenong College. The DATA farm project, led by Skillinvest and with $2.5-million in State Government backing, is also based on on-farm technological innovation.

Guided walk at The Nook Participants of a guided plant walk at ‘The Nook’, or Moyston Flora Reserve, have learnt about plant species, especially indigenous orchids that live in the area. Project Platypus Upper Wimmera Landcare facilitator Andrea Mitchell organised the walk and talk presented by Black Range Landcare members and guides Neil and Wendy Marriott. The Nook, managed by Parks Victoria near Moyston, covers 132 hectares. “The Nook is one of the richest reserves in the region for orchids, with many thousands of Wax-lip Orchids Glossodia major, Spider Orchids Caladenia, Donkey Orchids Diuris pardina, Wallflower Orchids Diuris orientis and many, many more every winter-spring,” Mr Marriott said. “It also supports good populations of the rare Grey Grass-tree Xanthorrhoea glauca – angustifolia as well as spectacular springtime mass displays of native grassy-woodland and heathland wildflowers.” Attendees remarked that they were unaware The Nook existed. Others said they were amazed at the rich diversity of wildflowers. The Marriotts have contributed their expertise to Moyston Landcare Group’s recently published book ‘Flora Survey – The Nook, Moyston’. The book is a guide to plant species at the reserve and is available at Moyston General Store. “It has proven to be very popu-

Moyston Landcare Group has further obtained funding to research plants of the two other parcels of adjoining Crown land.

Ms Mitchell said the experience was a great opportunity for people to enjoy the bush, share knowledge and promote Landcare. The walk ended with afternoon tea at the Moyston General Store and plans for another guided walk in 2020.

emPOWERing EGHS, a project of East Grampians Health Service, is designed to reduce costs through solar-power projects at the service’s Ararat and Willaura campuses. The project reached a significant milestone with the announcement that ‘Cola Sola’ had won the contract to undertake the work. Health service chief executive Andrew Freeman said the organisation had gone through a rigorous tender process. “Our probity principles ensured we chose a company that could provide high-quality products with good warranties to keep future health service costs down,” he said. “They also needed to understand the unique parameters associated with a hospital. “It is essential that contractors are respectful of patients, mindful of disruption and could also work across multiple locations.” Health service board chair Nancy Panter said a donation from the late Joe Kapp allowed the emPOWERing EGHS project to go ahead. “We are grateful for the generosity of both Joe and Monika Kapp and appreciate their support of the project,” she said. Monika and the late Joe Kapp have been long-term Ararat residents and supporters of the health service. “Kappy would have been delighted to be able to contribute towards the emPOWERing EGHS solar project,” Monika Kapp said.

“Joe was always a big supporter of East Grampians Health Service and believed in giving back to the community. “We are fortunate to have a health service that develops innovative projects such as this, which will enable funds saved to be invested back into projects which benefit patients, clients and residents.” Ms Panter said the health service was also grateful to Ballarat Renewable Energy and Zero Emissions, BREAZE, in providing help with Victorian Government Community Power Hub funding. BREAZE formed after a Ballarat Walk Against Warming in 2006. Its objective is to protect and enhance the natural environment and increase sustainability within the region by promoting and developing renewable sources of energy and significantly reducing the region’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. BREAZE created the feasibility study that allowed the EGHS board to evaluate the solar-power opportunity and provided expertise through involvement on a tender panel. “This project is strategically important for our health service because it supports the environmental sustainability of the health system, a goal of the State Government, while also delivering on our strategic goal of effective financial management,” Ms Panter said. “The solar-power project has a strong return on investment for the health service, significantly reducing our power costs and allowing us the opportunity to invest back into the hospital which ultimately benefits our community.”

Decision-making project

Wimmera health organisation wants to see more inclusion for patients and clients around the decision making for their health needs.

With the backing of Deakin University, Wimmera Health Care Group has started a ‘whole of organisation’ project called Your Thoughts Matter. The project guides clinicians to ask open questions and make sure their patients or clients have more of a say in their own treatment. United Kingdom healthcare communication expert Professor Jonathon Silverman spoke about the open decision-making process at Wimmera Health Care Group’s annual meeting. A retired general practitioner of 30 years and former Dean at the School of Clinical Medicine at Cambridge University, Professor Silverman is Professor of Academic General Practice at Deakin University. He has been researching and teaching the importance of communication in the health industry for three decades. Professor Silverman demonstrated at the meeting how including the patient-client in decision making not only gave them a better understanding of their situation, but it also saved time. Health group medical services director Professor Alan Wolff is supporting the implementation of the Your Thoughts Matter project with training headed by Meg Chiswell and Professor Peter Martin from Deakin University’s School of Medicine. Several WHCG clinicians have

started the training. Professor Wolff said community feedback had suggested there were some concerns around communication between clinicians and patients. “The feedback suggested we are providing a high level of ‘state-ofthe-art’ medical treatment,” he said. “But we weren’t routinely sitting down with the patients and asking if we had addressed all of their concerns. There were also other general communication concerns such as there wasn’t enough time given to explaining conditions and procedures.”

Feedback

Patient feedback included ‘the doctors often seemed rushed’ and ‘I didn’t understand what they were telling me’. Another common concern was around people entering the room and checking patient charts without introducing themselves or explaining what they were doing. Professor Wolff said the Your Thoughts Matter project was for all WHCG staff, both clinical and non-clinical. “Deakin University is educating 15 members of our staff and they will in turn train other staff members including our doctors,” he said. “It’s an easy program but a very important one and what I like about it is that I am able to tap into a worldclass program 30 seconds from my office door.” Professor Wolff said the change required to make communication better was not difficult. “The first step for any communi-

ing had made a big difference,” he said. “When the ED is busy, instead of just apologising for the wait, she has first acknowledged to patients that their wait has been long and then provided an explanation as to why there has been a delay. “The patient response has been so much better that way.” • Your Thoughts Matter is the first part of Deakin University’s ‘Skin Deep’ program which is trialling at Wimmera Health Care Group and Bairnsdale Regional Health Service with the support of Safer Care Victoria.

Celebration of disability Jaypex Park in Nhill will provide the setting for Hindmarsh Shire Council celebrations involving International Day of People with a Disability on Tuesday. The council is hosting free activities including games, dancing and art. The event is open to the community with a promise of an afternoon of fun and will include a free sausage sizzle for participants. Each year the event provides an opportunity for people from a variety of regional areas to catch up, swap stories and enjoy themselves. This year participants will have an opportunity to dance to music at the park’s sound shell and take part in a range of outdoor games. They will also be able to explore their creative side with prominent Horsham artist Nichola Clarke hosting an art workshop. Choreographer Janeth Rebarbas will host the dance session at the sound shell. The council will cater for people with special dietary needs and asks people to provide details to the council. People can find out more by calling council on 5391 4444.

Planning continues for fishing classic T

he date of Dimboola’s annual fishing competition is likely to shift to the fourth weekend in November next year as organisers work to make the most of a loaded regional events calendar.

Event spokesman Stoph Pilmore said a date change would help with the spread of community events during spring while providing patrons and anglers with an opportunity to regroup. “Making the change will just give us that little break between Dimboola Rowing Regatta, while at the same time giving anglers keen to fish in as many events as possible a bit more time to have a rest,” he said. “We were down bit with entry numbers this year but still extremely happy with the turn-out,” he said. “We’re still working out the details but we had somewhere between 230 and 250 anglers and raised about $4000 for Allambi aged-care facili-

ty in Dimboola.” Dimboola Fishing Classic, a catch-and-release boat and bank competition on the Wimmera River, attracted anglers from across Victoria, with Mark Spiteri from Gordon winning the event. Mr Spiteri won the senior section with a 490-millimetre yellowbelly he caught at 8.49am. Wayne Hartwich of Dimboola was second with a 475mm catfish caught at 10.20am and Paul McPhee, Horsham, third with a 475mm yellowbelly caught at 2.10pm. Ballarat’s Blake Lovell won a junior section with a 463mm catfish he caught at 8.47am from Cooper Howlett, Dimboola, 455mm yellowbelly, 7.30am and Arlee Sheehusen, Stawell, 450mm yellowbelly, 10.11am. Carp prizes were senior, Colin Gorton, Horsham 680mm; junior, Jamie Clark, Dimboola 640mm. Mr Pilmore said fishing rewards were consistent across the weekend

with anglers capturing a large number of catfish, suggesting the native species was breeding well in the waterway. “There weren’t great bundles of fish caught but there were good catches and it was obvious the river is in good health,” he said. “One of the disappointing aspects of the competition was the number and size of noxious carp caught. “There were a significant amount of carp and a lot of large ones. We’re providing data about the carp to Wimmera Catchment Management Authority to help them with management.” The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM were major sponsors of the event, joining Wimmera Outdoors and Webcom Marine. Mr Pilmore said Lake Eildon businessman Craig Parker, who had been attending the competition for several years, had also come on as a sponsor.

bout 200 Dimboola residents celebrated a piece of the town’s heritage with a photographic recreation of the opening of the National Bank of Australasia.

The bank building was officially opened in 1909 and celebrated its 110th anniversary this year. Since it stopped operating as a bank the building has been a private residence. Chan Uoy bought the property in April. Mr Uoy said he was immediately drawn to the building’s heritage architecture and wanted to make it a point of pride in the town. “With the loss of the Dimboola Hotel across the road – which everyone said was a fantastic, majestic building – I sensed there was a bit of sadness and sense of loss in terms of heritage,” he said. “I bought the bank because I love heritage and architecture. “I’m restoring the vault and I want to be able to share this space with the community and tourists as they come through, because it has been shut up. “I had families come through for Halloween and they remarked that they had lived there for 16 years and had never experienced the inside of the bank before.” Mr Uoy said upon joining Dimboola and District Historical Society he came across a photograph of the building’s opening, and immediately began thinking about recreating the occasion. “It’s a fantastic photo – about 250 men

were in all the windows upstairs, downstairs and in front of the building,” he said. “They’re all in suits and bowler hats, so it’s a striking picture. “I spoke to people about reproducing that picture and they all said it was a fantastic idea. We decided to do a re-enactment of the photo shoot, but we wanted to get women and children and some of the local Aboriginal people involved as well to represent Dimboola in 2019.”

Mr Uoy said about 200 helped recreate the photo. “There has been a lot of curiosity and support from people who want the bank building to be part of their community again,” he said. “This confirms how important heritage is to the people of Dimboola. “It’s been a really interesting community experience.”

Grampians wines set Victorian pace

he Grampians district’s reputation for producing high-quality wine has continued to gain momentum after dominating this year’s Victorian Wine Show.

Grampians Estate, based at Great Western, Clarnette and Ludvigsen Wines from Montara Winery near Ararat and Black and Ginger from Great Western were the toast of the show. Results also consolidated a strong connection between high-quality shiraz and the Grampians wine region. A Grampians Estate 2017 St Ethels Great Western Shiraz won the Premier’s Trophy for Champion Victorian Wine. Clarnette and Ludvigsen Wines’ 2017 Reserve Shiraz won the prestigious Best Shiraz Trophy as well as a Best Red Wine Trophy. Black and Ginger collected a Top Gold for its 2018 Malakoff Vineyard Shiraz. Bests, also at Great Western, won the trophy for Best Rose and collected a Top Gold for its riesling. Some of Australia’s most respected winemakers and sommeliers, along with top international judges, New Zealand’s Jim Harre and China’s Jade Li, judged the 37th Victorian Wine Show’s

impressive line-up of almost 770 wines. The Premier’s Trophy is judged from the ‘Best Wine of Show’ from each of Victoria’s 12 regional wine shows. A thrilled Tom Guthrie from Grampians Estate said the win was a great achievement. “It’s a great reflection of the quality of the work done by our wine-making team,” he said. Grampians Estate, with vineyards at Great Western and Mafeking, usually makes between 30 to 35 tonnes of wine a year, concentrating on produce that reflects the distinct flavours of the region. Leigh Clarnette from Clarnette and Ludvigsen was ecstatic to win the Shiraz Trophy from a large field. “We are a relatively new brand producing elegant, cool-climate shiraz from a historic part of western Victoria and this award celebrates all the hard work our two families have been through to reach this goal. We are delighted and honoured,” he said. The Victorian Wine Show results highlighted a growing belief in the industry that the Grampians Wine Region is one of the best in Australia for cool-climate spicy shiraz.

SUPPORTING EACH OTHER: From left, guest speaker Brendan McKinnon from volunteer group Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids talks to cancer resource nurse Catherine Olston and Horsham and District Cancer Friendship Group members Lorraine Mason, Marcia Carrick, Nola Klemm, Lance Duffield, Louise House and Mervyn Baker. The group meets each month at the Wimmera Cancer Centre in Horsham. Mrs Olston said people interested in joining could attend a Christmas breakup at Horsham’s White Hart Hotel on December 3.

New, vibrant business mood

he launch of a revamped Greater Ararat Business Network has provided momentum for the group to push ahead a ‘fresh and energetic’ direction. GAB Network president Maria Whitford said a gathering at Ararat RSL attracted more than 60 people, reflecting a new and vibrant mood surrounding Ararat district business. She said the gathering formalised the new name of the group, which replaced the former Ararat Business Association. “The night was amazing and we look forward to taking members on a journey in 2020,” she said. “The nice casual format of the launch was welcomed by all, but the real message from the night was that Ararat district was up and about and perhaps, more than ever, open for business.” The GAB Network’s catchcry is to ‘provide opportunities with like-minded businesses to network, share and learn’. “What we’ve already identified in

working through the new GAB Network is the amazing amount of buy-in from Ararat’s entrepreneurial sector, whether it be from the small retail business or the large-scale industry body,” Mrs Whitford said. “Considering the opportunities that abound for business activity in the region, the timing for our relaunch has been perfect.” People who attended the launch heard how GAB Network planned to start implementing events, concepts and projects to promote the district’s business sector. “One of the fundamental messages of the night to business representatives was that ‘we will do all the work, but we just need you involved’,” Mrs Whitford said. “There are many economic pointers more than suggesting greater Ararat is poised for a great surge forward and as an organisation we need to be on the front foot.”

Construction starts for Twin Bridges Landsborough-Elmhurst Road will be closed until December 18 as Ararat Rural City and Pyrenees Shire councils continue construction on the Twin Bridges at Glenlofty. The Twin Bridges, as they are known by the area’s residents, are two bridges in succession along the Landsborough-Elmhurst Road across the Wimmera River. Ararat Rural City Council chief ex-

ecutive Tim Harrison said contractor CASA Engineering was scheduled to finish work on the $1.5-million project by mid-December, weather permitting. He said Landsborough-Elmhurst Road would be closed during this time, with provisions for people who live nearby. Dr Harrison said anyone with questions could call Ararat Rural City Council’s civil engineer Sreejana Tiwari on 5355 0913.

CHANCE TO GIVE: ‘Santa’s helpers’ are pictured at the Ararat Emergency Relief Committee 2019 Toy and Gift Christmas Appeal tree at Kings Cars in Ararat. People can leave their donations by the tree in the showroom at 182 High Street, Ararat.

Ararat Christmas gift appeal The spirit of giving is alive and well this festive season with Ararat Emergency Relief Committee launching its 2019 Toy and Gift Christmas Appeal. The annual appeal seeks out the generosity of Ararat and district residents to provide gifts for underprivileged children in the lead up to Christmas. Michael Smith from Kings Cars in Ararat said the concept was simple, asking residents and businesses to step back from the Christmas rush and spare a little for people in need this festive season. “Be it cash or a present, any donation makes a huge difference

to someone less fortunate than others,” he said. Mr Smith encouraged individuals and groups to donate presents to be placed under the Christmas tree in the Kings Cars’ showroom. Presents are collected and dropped off Christmas Eve to Ararat Emergency Relief Committee, wrapped by the members and given to some of the less fortunate children in the community. Last year Ararat Emergency Relief Committee provided hampers and toys for many families in Ararat and surrounding areas. Expectations are that hampers will be in greater demand than in previ-

ous years. In the past, children up to the age of 14 have been lucky to have been recipients of toys or gifts they would not have normally received. “Hopefully we can break last year’s total and in doing so provide gifts and toys for underprivileged children this Christmas,” Mr Smith said. Individuals and businesses can donate material possessions and also fully tax-deductible cash donations on site at Kings Cars. People can leave their donations by a Christmas tree in the showroom at 182 High Street, Ararat.

Plan takes a step forward L

“I am very excited and hope this will attract students and help students achieve their dreams of enrolling and studying at Longerenong College”

ongerenong College plans to become an international centre of agricultural training excellence have taken another step forward with confirmation of a new scholarship program.

The Federal Government has announced Destination Australia Program funding of $165,000 for 10 scholarships for students enrolling in full-time courses in 2020. The package includes five $15,000 scholarships for international students and five for domestic students. College campus head John Goldsmith welcomed the announcement by Education Minister Dan Tehan, adding that it was a vote of confidence in the college. “I am very excited and hope this will attract students and help them achieve their dreams of enrolling and studying at Longerenong College,” he said. “The Australian Government Destination Australia Program is designed to attract and support international and domestic students to study in regional Australia, and to offer students a high-quality learning experience.” The government program is designed to help regional communities share in the billions of dollars of economic contribution

– John Goldsmith

international education is making in Australia. International education contributed $35-billion to the national economy last year. The scholarships for Longerenong are also designed to improve student numbers at the institution and help address an agricultural skills shortage. Mr Goldsmith said the scholarships would complement the college’s overall scholarship program. “In receiving these scholarships, we know that increasing the number of student enrolments at Longerenong College means more of our graduates will remain in our regional communities, where skills are most needed for the future,” he said. Member for Mallee Anne Webster announced in late October that 29 scholarships would be available to international and domestic students in her electorate next year.

GOING THE DISTANCE: Ararat North Primary School student Inari walks with mum Robyn Cleggett as part of a school walkathon fundraiser. Students gathered sponsors to complete the event, which involved walking 500-metre laps of the school with parents and relatives, and raised $1200 to buy a new 3D printer for the school science program. Physical education coordinator Alistair Johnson said students were also invited to sport crazy hair-dos in an effort to make the day more ‘fun and exciting’, with best styles winning prizes.

Mental health night labelled a success The head organiser of a mental health awareness night in Horsham has labelled the event a successful pursuit after crowd numbers doubled expectation. Wimmera residents gathered at Horsham’s Coughlin Park community centre last week for a Healthy Minds Horsham forum. Coughlin Park social club head Judy Bryan said organisers were rapt with event response, which saw about 130 people attend from townships including

Hamilton, Nhill and Dimboola. “It was unexpected,” she said. “We put out 75 chairs and were just waiting for people to come and the next minute we had all these people arriving. “It was just great. It was a mixture of crowds, we had lots of younger people. Overall, everybody was rapt with the whole thing.” The talk featured former South Melbourne footballer John Sudholz, who grew up in Rupanyup, as guest speaker.

Ms Bryan said Mr Sudholz spoke predominantly on depression and stress, with Gavin Morrow of Healthy Minds Horsham also speaking about the community group and mindfulness practises. She said the event created a beneficial and needed discussion on an issue topical for many people in the area. She said she would like to thank the members of the Coughlin Park social club for their help.

CWA direction for the new year C

ountry Women’s Association members have partly chosen 2020 determinations.

A 2020 theme is Grow, Connect and Improve; a state project is the Country Women’s Association of Victoria IT and systems upgrade and maintenance; a product-resources direction is Australian Indigenous foods; country of study will be Botswana; and a social-issues focus will be about building communication skills in times of stress. The association’s International and Community Support Committee has advised items needed for Christmas gifts for family packs include socks, underwear, toiletries, rugs and knitted teddies. Country Women’s Association has two teams entered in the 2019 Massive Murray Paddle from Yarrawonga to Tocumwal, Picnic Point, Echuca, Torrumbarry and Swan Hill. The event started yesterday and finishes on Friday and the hope is it’s not too windy or too hot. Good paddling, teams. In regard to health, it is well known that our mental, physical and emotional wellbeing are all connected. But how can craft improve our general wellbeing? Social wellness comes from being connected to people in your community and craft groups can provide that company, as well as the friendship and shared interests that help people thrive. The American Academy of Neurology reports in a recent study that craft can help protect the brain, stimulating new neurons to maintain cognitive health in middle and old age, resulting in improved memory. Knitting is being recommended as a pain-management technique by health practitioners.

At the end of the First World War the divisional therapy was used to treat soldiers suffering from what we now know as post-traumatic stress syndrome and has now resurfaced today with psychologists prescribing knitting for pain management. Some even call it the ‘new yoga’. It certainly has been somewhat of a great activity that many less able people can manage, myself included. The past few days have been very busy but all exciting in their own ways. Firstly, I was fortunate enough to celebrate my 80th birthday with friends and family, among whom were many CWA friends from throughout the area. Then I took delivery of my new ‘state of the art’ iPad, with more bells and whistles than I am familiar with, and lastly, a new oven and cook top were installed to make my kitchen more Parkinson friendly. Though when I first looked at the touch cook top with its ‘boost’ button, I thought perhaps I might be launching myself or at least the saucepans into space. I think I’d be a bit more like Mr Squiggle than Mr Spock or Captain Kirk from Starship Enterprise.

Korando rollout

More Korando variants arrive as SsangYong introduces new turbo-petrol engine

sangYong Australia has continued its rollout of its latest Korando range with the showroom launch of the new 1.5-litre turbopetrol engine, two months after the 1.6-litre diesel broke the ice for the all-new medium SUV here.

Producing 120kW of power at 5500rpm and 280Nm of torque from 1500-4000rpm, the petrol four-cylinder has more power than the diesel, 100kW, but less torque, 324Nm. When equipped with the six-speed

automatic transmission, the petrol engine is a little thirstier than the diesel at 7.7 litres per 100km compared to 5.5L/100km. After starting with just two high-end diesel launch variants – the ELX LE and Ultimate LE – in September, the South Korean brand has added petrol versions of the ELX and Ultimate at $30,990 plus on-road costs for the former and $36,990 for the latter. From early next year, the range will be rounded out with an entry-level

petrol-only EX, plus an ELX diesel and Ultimate diesel. The six-speed manual EX – the only manual in the range – will open the batting at $26,990 plus on-roads. The auto EX commands a $2000 premium. The ELX diesel automatic will cost $33,990 – $3000 more than the equivalent petrol ELX that has just become available – while the Ultimate diesel auto will top the range at $39,990. When it lobs, the EX headline features will include 17-inch alloy

wheels, autonomous emergency braking, lane-departure warning, an 8.0inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, automatic wipers/headlights, and an alarm. The ELX steps up with 18-inch alloys, leather steering wheel, smart key, power windows, LED daytime running lights and some extra safety features such as blind-spot detection, lane-change assist and rear cross-traffic alert. The Ultimate comes with 19-inch

alloys, adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel, 10.25-inch screen, sunroof, power tailgate, electric park brake, dual-zone climate control, LED foglamp, heated and cooled leather seats and privacy glass. The Korando has been awarded a five-star ANCAP safety rating, and comes with a seven-year unlimitedkilometre warranty, seven-year roadside assist package and seven-year service pricing. – Ron Hammerton

Aston Martin unveils inaugural SUV

ston Martin has officially unveiled its all-important inaugural SUV, the DBX, in China this week ahead of first deliveries in Australia due mid-2020.

British sportsluxury car-maker Aston Martin’s inaugural SUV, the DBX. weight-saving bonded aluminium bodyshell and aluminium and composite body panels. Remaining relatively faithful to the dimensions and design of the concept unveiled at the Geneva motor show way back in 2015, the production version of the DBX is built on an allnew dedicated SUV platform, rests on a 3060mm wheelbase and measures 5039mm long, 2220mm wide including mirrors and 1680mm high. Those planning to take the DBX offroad will note that it has 190mm of ground clearance, with the ride height

able to be raised by up to 45mm or lowered by 50mm via an adaptive triple-chamber air suspension system used with the double-wishbone front and rear multi-link hardware. A 48-volt electric anti-roll control system, eARC, and electronic adaptive dampers are also employed. The drivetrain includes an electronic active centre transfer case, electronic rear limited-slip differential and six adaptive drive modes – four for onroad driving and two for off-road. Maximum wading depth is listed at 500mm, the turning circle 12.4m

The British sports-luxury car-maker has set a starting price of $357,000 plus on-road costs, which sees the DBX slot in beneath the Lamborghini Urus, from $390,000, but stand above the likes of the Bentley Bentayga, $334,700, and Maserati Levante Trofeo, $330,000. While Aston has committed to offering electrified powertrains across its range during next decade, the sole powertrain offered on DBX for now is an AMG-sourced 4.0-litre twinturbocharged petrol V8 which in this application produces 405kW of power at 6500rpm and 700Nm of torque from 2200-5000rpm. Driving through a nine-speed torqueconverter automatic transmission and permanent four-wheel-drive system, the five-seat super-luxury all-terrain wagon can accelerate from 0-100kmh in a claimed 4.5 seconds, on its way to a maximum speed of 291kmh. Stated fuel economy and emissions are less impressive for the 2245kg DBX, with ‘targeted’ figures pointing to 14.3 litres per 100km mileage on the EU combined cycle, WLTP, and 269g/km of CO2, NEDC. This comes despite the use of a

aero wing, while the doors are frameless and the roof carries rails and a full-length panoramic glass panel. The lights are LEDs front and rear, including foglights, with bi-LEDs in the headlights – with auto high beam – and an active function on the rear brake lights. The standard wheel size is 22 inches, shod with mixed Pirelli P Zero tyres – 285/40 at the front and 325/35 out back – and nestled in behind the striking alloy rims are ventilated disc brakes measuring 410mm diameter up front. An electric park brake is used, along with a raft of electronic handling and safety devices spanning all the usual traction, stability and braking systems you should expect from a vehicle placed this high up in the market. These include active driver assist features such as traffic-sign recognition, rear-cross traffic alert, three lanerelated aids, autonomous emergency braking – with only pedestrian detection, not cyclist it seems – forward collision warning, active cruise control and 360-degree camera system. The plush cabin is claimed to offer class-leading headroom and legroom, and is swathed in Caithness leather upholstery, Alcantara headlining, piano-black wood veneer on the centre console, and satin chrome highlights elsewhere. – Terry Martin

Harvest rolls in from the south 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

immera and southern Mallee farmers in the midst of harvest believe this season’s crop is shaping up as one of the best in recent years.

The region’s growers have mostly begun harvest during the past two weeks and some have reported strong yields. Jung farmer Gavin Puls said he was harvesting hurricane lentils and would begin to harvest a barley crop next week. He said he anticipated starting a wheat harvest after two weeks on barley and would aim to finish at about the end of the year. He said all indications were that this year’s crop was a good one. “Around the Wimmera it’s looking pretty good. The Mallee is probably a little bit down,” he said. “Things are looking great around the paddocks – the yields are quite handy, and the prices are pretty good as well, so I can’t complain at all. “It’s going to be quite a good year for the farmers, which should help peg back a few of the ordinary ones we’ve had before this. MAKING A START: Lentil harvest is in full swing in Gavin Puls’ Dooen North paddock. “We should be able to give the bank and the Picture: PAUL CARRACHER taxman a bit back, and there’ll be a bit left for

the town hopefully.” Grain storage company Viterra’s Dooen manager Andrew Brown said the site had received its first load of barley on November 12 and had subsequently received loads of lentils, barley and canola. He said the outlook was generally positive for the region. “We are in constant communication with growers regarding yield and quality and growers are expecting an above-average year,” he said. “Feedback from growers is that they are very pleased with the quality and yield of barley and canola. “Canola started being delivered last week. The first deliveries came from the south of Horsham rather than the north, which is where we generally see the first loads of canola come from. “The quality of lentils has also been good. We normally see harvest deliveries continue into our Dooen site through to mid-January depending on weather conditions. “We will continue to work closely with growers throughout this time to ensure we are providing them with a valuable and efficient service.”

Agriculture Minister checks on electronic system Victorian Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes has used a visit to the Wimmera to see a sheep and goat electronic identification system in action at Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange. Ms Symes confirmed the state’s transition to the electronic identification system, designed to make Victoria’s livestock industry more innovative and efficient, was almost complete. Horsham saleyards is celebrating 20 years of operation this year and, as the fourth largest lamb market in Victoria and processing 600,000 sheep a year, has been a leader in applying the technology and creating its own efficiencies. Victoria started its transition to mandatory electronic identification for sheep and goats on January 1, 2017. Changes across the supply chain, from on-farm tagging to scanning and data processing at saleyards and abattoirs, has led to advances in efficiency and data integrity. The reform has improved the state’s ability to trace sheep and goats, leading to high levels of consumer confidence and access to export markets.

In 2017-18, Victoria exported $1.4-billion in sheep meat and $2.1-billion in wool, demonstrating the role the sheep industry played in regional and rural Victorian communities as well as the nation overall. The State Government, in is 201920 budget also invested $142.5-million to boost Victoria’s biosecurity system, representing the largest investment of its type in the state’s history. Ms Symes said on her visit to Horsham that traceability underpinned Victoria’s biosecurity system. “Having a world-class livestock-identification system gives Victoria’s trading partners confidence in our secure agriculture industry, as well as strengthening our ability to trace diseases and keep Victoria consumers safe in the event on an exotic disease outbreak,” she said. “Our innovations and traceability wouldn’t be possible without our industry partners – including Meat and Livestock Australia, who have invested in this change with us and continue to support the benefits of keeping Victoria at the forefront of this technology.”

Wimmera farmers raise concerns 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

ictorian Farmers Federation Wimmera Branch members are aiming to discuss a host of issues raised at a meeting earlier this month with Member for Mallee Anne Webster and Regional Roads Victoria.

Members discussed a range of issues at the meeting on November 4, the most pressing of which was a lack of telecommunications infrastructure necessary to pay employees using a web-based Superannuation Clearing House service. Branch president Graeme Maher said the group would seek a meeting with Dr Webster in the new year to discuss their concerns about the state of telecommunications infrastructure in the region. Mr Maher said members had raised other concerns during the meeting that the group would look to take further.

He said farmers were anxious about a new State Government industrial manslaughter law introduced to parliament last month. He said the law put undue pressure on employers and gave too many investigatory powers to WorkSafe. “As I understand it, if you take a work car to the races and have too much to drink and have an accident and someone dies in that accident, the person in charge of your office is then liable for industrial manslaughter with up to a 20-year prison term because you were an employee who did the wrong thing,” he said. “If an employee does something wrong, the employer is liable. “The investigations will be carried out by WorkSafe, who are entitled to come in and go through all your notes and all your books without any permission. “The police need to get search war-

rants and all the rest of it, but WorkSafe does not have that requirement and can walk in and demand everything. That is truly scary. “Imagine if a 15-year-old son on a farm pinches a motorbike, has an accident and dies. His father is then charged with industrial manslaughter and may go to jail for 20 years. “That leaves a wife without a child and without a husband.” Mr Maher said many of the members’ other concerns related to roads in the region. “The number and size of the trucks is ever-increasing and some of the intersections are not built to cater for them,” he said. “If you’re turning right down Golf Course Road in Horsham, you’ve got to wait for two lanes of traffic to clear to cross it with a B-double. That is a recipe for disaster. “Then you look at Shannon Brothers

opposite O’Connors on the Western Highway and there is no allocation for large vehicles to turn down there. “If a train is coming, a vehicle just has to wait on the highway. “There is a requirement for some serious big-picture planning on transport movement around Horsham. “As people who drive trucks, we’re really worried about where that is heading.” Mr Maher said the group was due to meet with Regional Roads Victoria to discuss its concerns but was doubtful of a satisfactory outcome. “We have pencilled in an agreement with Regional Roads Victoria for our next meeting, but they are usually hamstrung,” he said. “They’ll come along and say, ‘we’ve listened to you, we acknowledge your problems, but we haven’t got any money’.” Mr Maher said other road-related

VFF’s ports pricing call

Sowing guide released Grains Research and Development Corporation, GRDC, has released a 2020 Victorian Crop Sowing Guide to support growers with their variety choices ahead of next year’s sowing programs. The guide, available at website bit.ly/2O8jLoh and arriving soon in growers’ letter boxes, was published by GRDC in partnership with Agriculture Victoria. GRDC’s National Variety Trials, NVT, south regional manager Rob Wheeler said the publication provided the most up-to-date information on disease resistance ratings and variety performance at a time when growers were planning their seed requirements for 2020. “The Victorian Crop Sowing Guide outlines information on current varieties of the major winter crops grown in Victoria,” he said. “The publication prompts growers to ask whether they are growing the best variety for their location, environment and farming system. “Growers are encouraged to use the summary as a guide for discussion with their consultants, ad-

visers and marketing agents.” Mr Wheeler said the majority of grain yield and quality data provided in the summary was sourced from a GRDC NVT program of comparative crop variety testing, with data from some breeding trials added to the information available. “Results from the NVT program are also used by pathologists to determine disease resistance ratings presented in the Victorian Crop Sowing Guide. It is important that growers check the disease resistance ratings each year for any changes from the previous season,” he said. “Overall, the summary brings together NVT data from the previous five seasons, long-term multi-environment trial yield predictions, disease ratings, quality data and agronomic information.” The latest 2019 NVT data will be available early in 2020 via the NVT Online website at www. nvtonline.com.au. The 2020 Victorian Crop Sowing Guide contains some new varieties for growers’ consideration.

frustrations included licencing requirements for driving telehandlers. “VicRoads struggles to find a category for them, so the rules as they stand require you to have a crane licence to drive them, which is a three-day course and costs quite a lot of money,” he said. “If you don’t have that licence and something goes wrong, you’re liable. “So everyone who drives a telehandler at the moment is required to have a crane licence, which is just ridiculous.” Mr Maher said another point raised was the stalling of the State Government’s Murray Basin Rail Project after it ran out of money. The meeting was addressed by guest speaker Simon McNair, a grain growers’ advocate who told members about the importance of checking who they sell their grain to and signing contracts.

Victorian Farmers Federation’s Grains Group has called for the State Government to extend the Essential Services Commission’s oversight of port rents to include access and pricing. It believes such a move would help address surging port infrastructure charges at the Port of Melbourne. Infrastructure charges at the port have increased by more than 2000 percent in the past two years and port operator DP World recently announced it would further increase infrastructure charges again next year. VFF Grains Group president Ashley Fraser said the skyrocketing charges were hitting farmers hard. “Agricultural goods make up approximately 43 percent of all containerised exports from the Port of Melbourne,” he said. “When stevedores hike up prices, the burden is passed up the supply chain and it is ultimately farmers who bear the brunt of it. We can’t just pass these costs onto consumers.” Mr Fraser said estimates were that port infrastructure charges cost the average farmer producing export hay about $8000 a year in lost revenue.

Dunsford now a doctor

orsham’s Grains Innovation Park has another doctor on its staff after Agriculture Victoria research scientist Katherine Dunsford was officially awarded a PhD.

The title of Dr Dunsford’s PhD research was ‘Understanding the causes of poor grain yield responses of wheat to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisers’. Since 2014 she has been investigating why nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisers applied to crops do not always result in a yield benefit. She estimated nitrogen mineralisation in south-east Australian cereal crops and identified several soil-testing methods for predicting in-crop mineral nitrogen supply, during her research, which she said could be useful when formulating nitrogen budgets. Horsham colleagues celebrated the awarding of Dr Dunsford’s PhD earlier this month. Her PhD supervisor, Professor Roger Armstrong, said her research had provided a new understanding of issues affecting the profitability of grain growers. “The research showed the importance of soil phosphorus and water supply in explaining the decline in crop response to phosphorus fertiliser,” he said.

NEW DOCTOR: Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park research scientist Katherine Dunsford was awarded a PhD for her investigation into nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisers. Dr Dunsford described the five years she spent on her research as challenging but rewarding. “Undertaking a PhD not only taught me about developing, conducting and writing up experiments, but I have also gained a range of personal skills, such as having confidence in my own judgement, prioritising and how to be more effective in my day to day activities,” she said. “Being located here at Horsham

was advantageous because I had access to a range of resources, equipment and people, but was also able to maintain a connection to the farming community.” Professor Armstrong, an Agriculture Victoria senior research scientist, said Dr Dunsford’s desire to help grain growers and rural communities was admirable. “She is a highly dedicated young scientist and it has been a pleasure to see her grow from a young

graduate to a highly valued member of the Agriculture Victoria soil science team and the broader southern Australian soil science network,” he said. Dr Dunsford received her PhD from LaTrobe University’s School of Life Sciences. She is currently working on a range of soil and crop-nutrition research projects for Agriculture Victoria and the Grains Research and Development Corporation.

VFF clocks up four decades 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Victorian farmers’ peak body used National Agriculture Day last week to celebrate its 40th birthday. Victorian Farmers Federation members and industry, government and media organisations celebrated the occasion at Melbourne Museum. VFF president David Jochinke from Murra Warra said the birthday represented a significant milestone in farmer advocacy. “It has also been an opportunity to reflect on the VFF’s rich history, acknowledge the priceless contributions of our members and celebrate Victorian agriculture’s strong future,” he said. “In 1979, the Victorian Farmers Union, Victorian Graziers Association, and United Dairyfarmers of Victoria joined to form the Victorian Farmers and Graziers Association - later renamed the Victorian Farmers Federation. “Over the past 40 years, the VFF has led the way in taking the concerns of rural and regional Victorians to decision makers and driving policy change. “As Victoria’s peak body advocating for farmers, we regularly meet with politicians, government agencies and industry in pursuit of policy outcomes that support a viable, sustainable and socially responsible agricultural industry. The VFF has been instrumental in the current State Government drought package, the review of local government rates, protecting free trade agreements and limiting extreme animal activists. “However, none of this would have been possible without the relentless determination and hard work of our members over four decades.” Mr Jochinke said the birthday celebrations were about thanking members and honouring their contributions and achievements.

orticulture growers in the Mallee electorate will have better access to labour during this season’s fruit harvest.

Minister for Agriculture Bridget McKenzie said the Federal Government was acting on concerns raised by growers across the country with a Regional Agriculture Migration Package. She said it was a practical response to a need for greater access to migrant labour in the region. “This package from our government shows what effective local representation can do for a community,” she said. “Local member Anne Webster has been advocating for her community to get better access to a migrant workforce and has highlighted just how complex the issue is. “This package is about getting the right labour at the right time at the right place, making sure there is suitable accommodation available and ensuring compliance with workplace laws. “Importantly, the package will give growers, especially smaller growers, access to the Seasonal Worker Programme pilot, with a regional coordinator to help them club together to provide the volume of work needed to attract and sustain the harvest workforce.

“The Wimmera-Mallee is a critically important food-producing region – accounting for 10 percent of all horticulture farms and generating more than $1.35-billion for our national economy – we can’t risk having that valuable fruit rot on the orchard floor.” The changes mean up to an additional 1000 Pacific workers could be available this season, building on almost 4000 additional places available to workers from Vietnam, Thailand and Poland under the Work and Holiday visa program. Dr Webster said the program was a win for the region. “I’ve been taking the concerns of our growers to Canberra for months now and I’m pleased to see we have been listened to,” she said. “We need to make sure these workers have appropriate places to live in our vibrant regions. “Through this package, we’ll put an accommodation broker in the Wimmera-Mallee to work on innovative accommodation solutions. “That’ll come from active, constructive partnership with local councils, state governments, industry, and communities. “We have a chance to make sure we can get the fruit off the trees for our growers and generate additional economic activity through the accommodation component of the

program. That adds up to a win-win for the Mallee.” Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business Michaelia Cash said the extension of the Seasonal Worker Programme pilot to the Wimmera-Mallee was for an additional two years. “The government is committed to backing Australian farmers by improving access to seasonal workers to support regional communities and small businesses,” she said. “The pilot will allow additional workers to assist eligible Australian growers for the upcoming harvest season.” Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs David Coleman said while his first priority was to fill jobs with Australian citizens, the immigration system helped to grow local economies and address regional skills gaps.

There’s no music in Tamworth 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

hink of Tamworth and we all of course think of the Country Music Festival.

I’ve just spent four days there for Red Meat 2019, and it had a far from festive feel. Don’t get me wrong: the conference was great. It’s the country, ravaged by two years of drought and shrouded in smoke and ash from fires that are scores of kilometres away. We’ve all been through droughts and we will, of course, again. But it’s a bit like child birth. Your brain quickly recovers from the trauma, and then, here

you go again, suddenly remembering just how incredibly painful it is. Tamworth is not part of the Murray Darling Basin and relies on the Peel River and Chaffey dam for all its water. It’s so dire, all the lawns are dead and gardens dying as town folk live with water restrictions. There’s zero water allocation for irrigation. One of the town’s two public pools is empty and closed. The town looks tired and depressed. My hotel was on the main highway to the livestock sale yards and we watched truck load after truck load of cattle heading to the sales. They were

Country Today with Libby Price

in remarkably good nick, but talking to stock agent Chris Paterson, most of them would have been females that farmers had been desperately hanging on to as their all-important breeding stock. The day before the store cattle sale, Chris visited a dozen or so of his clients.

“We tried to talk anything but drought to keep it more cheerful, but it inevitably got back to no rain and how hard it is. It sure is taking its toll on people,” he said. Paterson has his own Angus stud which he started in 2011. He too, has had to sell some very well-bred females. It’s now cheaper for him to truck hay from South Australia more than 14 hours to Tamworth than to buy locally grown stockfeed. As I interviewed him for Country Today, small flecks of ash landed on my microphone. It’s so smoky you can barely see the hills that surround

Tamworth. Another truckload of very fine looking Angus cows scramble as the driver hits the air brakes to turn to the saleyards. Tamworth is cattle country. The town relies on it. I couldn’t help but reflect on the farmer who’s so proudly bred and produced these fine animals and how difficult it must be to have to make that final decision. And I thought maybe he has kids who want to go for a swim in the local pool, but even that’s empty. Tough times indeed. Send ‘er down Hughie!

Dung beetle helping with climate change

Thinking ahead for next season BY CRAIG ALTMANN What variety should I be growing this year? It’s a thought and conversation many will be having during the next few months. There are many new-variety releases that look like being available in commercial quantities of seed for 2020, and while very exciting, it also presents its challenges in making the decision. One handy reference for the croppers is the just-released 2020 Victorian Crop Sowing Guide, put together by Agriculture Victoria. It’s a great publication, being a handy reference of collated information on the major grain crops grown in the area. The many tables and good descriptions have led to it becoming a com-

mon tool to complement the likes of National Variety Trial data, trial field days and other guides. Having this information in spring is very timely, giving people a chance to consider the options and get more information. With this in mind, there are plenty of people busily harvesting and analyzing data at the moment as farmers and advisors make decisions on what changes to make. A key message to take from this is that National Variety Trial data will be available early 2020, and in March 2020 will provide an update to cereal and pulse-disease ratings. The combination of new varieties likely to be sold out early, incomplete information about the variety, pending market classifications and, a new season’s information to consid-

er, is a catch for some. Many people are increasingly well-informed about potential new varieties that might be around in the next year or two. What to do? Stick with what you’re growing, get into the next variety or, hold off for the potential new variety? The risk in holding off for the variety that is still a breeder’s code pending release is that it might never actually make it to market for any number of reasons. AGF Seeds Field day on Wednesday next week provides another opportunity to assess new cropping and pasture varieties.

As the agricultural industry struggles with increasing pressure of land-management practices on climate change, one Western Australian farmer has turned to the exotic dung beetle. Doug Pow of Marron Brook Farm, 300 kilometres south of Perth is using the beetle, Bubas bison, to help implement a carbon-positive approach to farming. Pioneering the use of biochar as a means of sequestering carbon, Mr Pow sidestepped intensive machinery to fertilise inaccessible Alps slopes by developing a plan using the dung beetle to bury the biochar-infused manure deep in the soil profile. The plan landed Mr Pow an Australian Government Innovation in Agriculture Land Management Award at 2019 Western Australian Landcare Awards. “When we first bought this farm, I noticed active dung beetles burying virtually every dung pat down as deep as 600 millimetres into the ground,” Mr Pow said. “And after attending a biochar talk, explaining the effectiveness of GPS-controlled grain-farming-seeding equipment to put charcoal into the ground and then using the same GPS seeding equipment to plant the seed of the next grain crop over the char into the ground, they were getting an in-

crease in productivity. I thought, how could I put that into effect in a place like Manjimup, where we grow horticulture and tree crops, where we have big high hills and narrow gates and can’t pull 100-metre-wide equipment up mountain sides. “So I attempted to feed some char to my cattle, let it fall out the other end and hoped the beetles would bury the dung of the cow they were burying, while also placing the char into the ground. “The soil has become more fertile, it’s releasing the phosphorous that has been locked up in the soil back up to the surface, and that has a big advantage.” Research into the use of biochar as a feed additive has so far indicated it can promote more efficient digestion and reduce methane emissions from ruminant livestock. The methane gases, a huge climate change contributor, emitted by bacteria aiding bovine digestion, are consumed by methanotrophs within the char. “The methanotrophs can comfortably live in the cow’s gut in the pore space of the biochar and they live on the methane, reducing harmful emissions,” Mr Pow said.

rought-hit Mallee communities and farmers will receive a boost from Federal Government’s latest drought relief package.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the $709-million investment into drought affected communities. Member for Mallee Anne Webster said the package would support Mallee farmers and communities through access to loans of up to $2 million. She said loans would have zero interest on repayments for the first two years, after which interest-only payments would be at a ‘minimal rate’. “This will see money flow right through the local economy,” she said. “These loans can now be used for fodder, stock transport, agistment, farm improvements, employees’ wages and to refinance current debt.” Dr Webster said the government included fodder and agistment in the loans in response to Millewa farmers in the state’s north-west who made requests to Minister for Drought David Littleproud. “The addition of fodder and agistment means that farmers won’t have to sell all of their stock,” she said. “It will help keep breeding herds on farm or give farmers the choice to agist herds further south, promoting a quicker recovery once this drought breaks. “These loans will potentially save farmers who refinance, thousands of dollars and help them get back on their feet sooner.” Dr Webster said small Mallee businesses dependant on agriculture would also have access

to interest-free loans of up to $500,000. She said the loans would have zero interest for two years, followed by interest for years three to five. “Shearing contractors, harvesters and livestock transport and mechanical service providers have seen their turnover hit, and in many cases struggle to survive,” she said. “This will protect jobs in the Mallee and make sure we can bounce back once the drought breaks.” She said another ‘big win’ for regional producers was an available 100 gigalitres of water from South Australia to help grow feed for farm stock in Victoria and other locations in the Murray-Darling Basin. She said it could allow for production of about 120,000 tonnes of fodder that could help Mallee farmers. “Nationally, another $378 million will also go into drought-affected community projects and an extra $138.9 million into our Roads to Recovery initiative,” she said. “There is also $10 million allocated to schools to make concessional fees available to families facing drought, allowing children to stay in school and removing this additional financial stress. “A further $5-million childcare fund will assist childcare centres in drought affected communities, to keep childcare available to those who are doing it tough. “Communities across Australia have been working hard through this drought, and this package provides a bit more hope and practical help for everyone to get through it. It helps to protect our jobs and economy so that when the drought breaks, we will bounce back faster.”

Ryegrass remedy for 2020 W

immera farmers will be better able to control ryegrass for the 2020 season following the introduction of new herbicide Luximax.

International chemical giant BASF, which has a wheat and oilseed breed centre at Longerenong, has launched a world-first product based on its herbicide active ingredient Luximo for Australian farmers. Luximax, which was only registered for use in wheat, bar durum wheat, is now registered under the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority as a mode of action for ryegrass. BASF Australia and New Zealand head of agricultural solutions Gavin Jackson said Luximax was a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;breakthroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as the first mode of action for ryegrass in Australia in 30 years. He said the mode of action offered more options for chemical rotation, strengthened existing integrated weed-management strategies and provided up to 12 weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residual control of ryegrass, including biotypes resistant to existing herbicide modes of action such as Groups D, J and K. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luximax provides growers with new confidence to control their annual ryegrass problem for months after sowing and will also manage

NEW MODE OF ACTION: Wimmera farmer Rob Byrne, right, in his 2019 wheat crop with son Luke. Mr Byrne is one of many Australian growers who has trialled a new BASF herbicide for controlling ryegrass. brome grass and wild oats,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australian growers are world leaders in agronomic practices, and we are proud to continue to support them by delivering the first new mode of action for ryegrass in 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited by this world-first registration, and what it means for growers to add another tool to their rotation toolbox.â&#x20AC;? Mr Jackson said Luximax was the first of three new BASF herbicides being launched in Australia

by 2021. He said more than 100 Australian growers had been running on-farm trials of the herbicide ahead of its launch, and growers said it was a welcome addition to their sustainable weed-management practises. Wimmera grower Rob Byrne said Luximax was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;doing the jobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and looking better in between the rows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ryegrass is our big issue and we are seeing it become more resistant. Weeds are incredibly smart and we have to keep them guessing,â&#x20AC;? he

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rely on companies to bring in new chemicals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if it was the same active it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a different job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a new group that will give us a few years without any resistance.â&#x20AC;? Luximaxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launch precedes the release of post-emergent herbicide Frequency and pre-emergent herbicide Voraxor which will offer growers new tools to control problematic weeds.

No charity status for activist group 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Federal Minister for Water Resources David Littleproud has welcomed a decision by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission to strip Aussie Farms of its charitable status. Mr Littleproud said Aussie Farms ran a website listing the details of thousands of Australian farms and encouraging activists to take part in farm invasions. Aussie Farms describes itself as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;non-profit animal rights organisation, dedicating to ending commercialised animal abuse and exploitation in Australian animal agriculture facilities by increasing industry transparency and educating the public about modern farming and slaughtering practicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a win for common sense,â&#x20AC;? Mr Littleproud said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Agriculture Minister I wrote to the charities commissioner asking him to review Aussie Farmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; charitable status. Today he acted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also worked with the Attorney-General to bring Aussie Farms under the Privacy Act with a maximum penalty of $2.1 million for breaching the act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charities do not invade peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privacy and encourage illegal behaviour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our farmers deserve respect for putting the best food in the world on our dinner tables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These activists put farming families at risk by encouraging large-scale trespass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one wants 50 strangers invading their backyard where their kids play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aussie Farms will lose charity tax benefits after being exposed for what they are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; militant activists.â&#x20AC;?

Answers: 1. True. 2. A. 10,000. Taste buds are replaced about every two weeks and as we age we stop replacing them and so our taste sensitivity can diminish. Taste works in partnership with smell and taste buds work in partnership with olfactory receptors in our nose. 3. Scotland. It is a Scotch whisky and flavoured with spices and herbs. The name might have its origins in the Gaelic term ‘dram buidheach’ or ‘the drink that satisfies’. 4. Whitby cats were wide-beamed, shallow-draught and lightly rigged ships used mainly to carry coal and timber in England. ‘Cat’ is an acronym of ‘coal and timber ship’. The HMS Endeavour captained by James Cook during his expedition to the Pacific Ocean and the mapping of the east coast of Australia was a Whitby cat. 5. Billy Ocean, born Leslie Sebastian Charles. He was born in Fyzabad, Trinidad and Tobago and moved to England with his family when he was 10, so is considered Trinidadian-English. He also had hits with When the Going Gets Tough the Tough Get Going, Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car and There’ll Be Sad Songs. He is now 69. 6. Eastern rosella parrot, or Platycercus eximius. The settlers encountered the bird at Rose Hill. The suggestion is the settlers called it the Rose Hill parakeet, a name that evolved into rosehiller to eventually rosella. 7. Melanesia. Polynesia is to its east, northwest and southeast and Micronesia is to its north. 8. Chewbacca the Wookiee in the Star Wars franchise. 9. The Siberian, also known as Amur, Manchurian, Ussurian or Northeast tiger. Males can grow to more than 3.3 metres from head to tail and weigh up to 300 kilograms. 10. Honiara. It is on the island of Guadalcanal.

Funeral Directors

Dad and I had some great times. I always looked up to him. When I moved into my own place he was sad to see me go, but always called around to see if I was okay. He was the kind of guy who always offered advice, but never expected me to take it. I knew Dad wouldn’t be around forever, and the day I expected to be sad turned out to be a true celebration of his life I’ll cherish forever. I’m so glad I have someone who cared to organise it.

Interleague back BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

immera and Horsham District leagues will play interleague football and netball in 2020 after reaching agreements with Central Murray and Golden Rivers leagues respectively.

AFL Victoria pulled support for the annual WorkSafe AFL Victoria Community Championships representative games earlier this month, leaving interleague matches in jeopardy. In the absence of a centralised interleague competition, AFL Victoria encouraged leagues to organise their own matches. Wimmera league will host Central Murray league and Horsham District league will travel to play Golden Rivers next year. Matches will be in senior and under-18 football and open, 17-and-under, 15-and-under and 13-and-under netball. AFL Wimmera Mallee general manager Steve McQueen said AFL Victoria encouraged leagues to continue representative programs in 2020 if they were relevant. “Leagues who wished to participate in representative football in 2020 were encouraged to do so and AFL Victoria will continue to financially support leagues who wish to pursue representative programs,” he said. “The position taken to commit to interleague in 2020 was not taken lightly, taking into account feedback from stakeholders and our commitments already made to sponsors. “We thank AFL Victoria and Worksafe for their ongoing support for our local inter-

league football and netball programs in our regions.” In 2020 AFL Victoria Community Championships rankings released before the championships were discontinued, Wimmera league was ranked 12th and the Horsham District league 26th in football rankings. Central Murray league was 10th, while Golden Rivers league was 30th.

Combe joins Natimuk

In other football news, Natimuk United announced former Horsham Saint Jarred Combe as co-coach for its senior team alongside Sam Anson next season. Combe has ties to the club having formerly played for Horsham United – a team that merged with Natimuk to form Natimuk United. He will bring veteran leadership to the Rams and help fill a void left by the departure of Jaydon Stiles. Stiles, Horsham District league’s leading goal-kicker in 2019, backflipped on an initial decision to stay with the Rams in 2020 and will instead take up a coaching position with Macorna in Golden Rivers league. The move means Stiles is likely to meet some of his former team-mates in next season’s interleague clash. The Rams have also signed midfielder Joey Ronald, currently playing for Palmerston Magpies in Northern Territory Football League premier division, as they look to improve on a narrow semi-final loss to Noradjuha-Quantong this year.

SO CLOSE: Onthecrestofawave, on the outside, and Change The Print hit the finish line in perfect harmony at Horsham Racing Centre. Five-year-old mare Onthecrestofawave, managed by Stawell Harness Racing Club vice-president Ken Salmon, notched up her 10th victory from 26 starts for her band of 10 owners. The Stawell club will host its annual Stawell Pacing Cup meeting on Sunday afternoon. The cup forms part of a Victorian Trots Country Cups Championship, meaning a Victorian Harness Racing Club bonus of $1000 will be paid to the winning owner on top of the $45,000 in total stakes up for grabs in the feature race. The meeting is one of nine annual races the club hosts. The day will feature free admission and plenty of giveaways, prizes and children’s entertainment. Picture: CLAIRE WESTON PHOTOS

St Michaels undefeated S

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

t Michaels is undefeated at the halfway point of the Central Wimmera Tennis Association season after surviving a tight tussle with Horsham Lawn Thompson.

The heavyweight battle pitted the ladder-topping Saints against a Lawn side that had only one loss for the season. It was Lawn Thompson that got off to a strong start when Graeme Wood and Lachlan Punchard downed Peter Hayes and Nick Robertson 8-6. The Saints rebounded with win’s in the opening women’s doubles and men’s singles rubbers, but Lawn’s Maree Thompson downed Barbara Crough 8-3 to keep sets locked at two apiece. The roller-coaster battle continued for the rest of the day, with six of the next eight rubbers decided by two games or fewer. Wood and Jordan Toll won an 8-7 tiebreak against Saints Hayes and Chris Ellis, but Kassie Peachey returned the favour with an 8-7 singles win against Tahlia Thompson. Sets were locked at five apiece entering the final round of doubles, with Lawn Thompson holding a four-game lead. With everything on the line, the Saints’ Hayes pulled out a vital 8-7 win against Wood, while Jess McDonald comfortably accounted for Cherie Wood 8-1, giving the Saints a hard-fought seven sets, 82 games to five sets, 78 games victory. The loss dropped Lawn Thompson to

third place on the ladder, while the undefeated Saints are now two games clear on top. An even closer match was played at Central Park when the home side defeated Brimpaen 6-75 to 6-70. Much like the clash between the Saints and Lawn Thompson, several rubbers were decided by either 8-7 or 8-6 scores. And once again the outcome came down to the final two singles rubbers. Luke Dunn gave the visitors a chance at victory with an 8-7 tiebreak win against Bayden Penrose, but Blair Penrose bailed her brother out with an 8-7 win against Hettie French to seal a narrow victory for the Parkers. It was just the second win of the season for Central Park, which will face a stern test against Horsham Lawn Thompson on Saturday. Brimpaen, meanwhile, will play Drung South, which is on a high after an 8-84 to 4-61 win against Horsham Lawn Gillespie. Kate-Lyn Perkin filled in for the Drungsters’ men’s division to cover a shortfall of players and played well, winning an 8-6 doubles rubber alongside partner Adam Troeth against Lawn’s Hayden Farlow and Shane Gillespie. Perkin was nearly part of a second victorious rubber with Dylan Emmerson, losing an 8-7 tiebreak against Gillespie and Ross Janetzki. While several rubbers went down to the wire, Drung South proved too strong and too consistent for the Lawn side.

Youngsters lead way Delahunty Plumbing kept its slim finals chances alive with a big win over Findex in the penultimate round of Stawell Tennis Club Friday night competition, while a potential grand final dress rehearsal resulted in a comfortable victory for ladder leader Grampians Joinery against second-placed Farrers Tyrepower. Following a sputtering start to the season, Delahunty Plumbing is now firing on all cylinders and finds itself within striking distance of Farrers Tyrepower with just one round to go. It has closed the gap to just 11 points following a 16 set, 164 games to seven sets, 131 games triumph over a disappointing Findex outfit. Delahunty Plumbing was led by a host of youngsters, including Molly Orr, D’Artagnan Walls, Elise Monaghan and Lexi Collins, with all four not dropping a set between them. Their youthful exuberance was complemented by the steady hand of Leon Monaghan. Jonah O’Shannessy and Fraser Dunn were the only shining lights on a rather dismal night for Findex, with the end of the season not coming quick enough for the current cellar dwellers. Grampians Joinery has all but sewn up the minor premiership after dispatching Farrers Tyrepower 15-159 to 8-135 games. Farrers Tyrepower’s unbeaten start through the first four rounds now seems a distant memory following its third consecutive loss, but amazingly it should still fall into second place which would mean a grand final appearance and a rematch with last week’s conqueror. Blair Clayton gave Grampians Joinery a big lift, providing valuable support to his skippers Jade Cross and Ben Martin, while Shane Field provided the comic relief in the mixed set, first getting hit in the head from a teammate’s errant serve before attempting a smash which resulted in a clean miss due to both his feet remaining firmly on the ground. Maddi Rickard and Isabella Browne launched a spirited defence for Farrers Tyrepower but unfortunately it was too little avail. Ladder: Grampians Joinery 112 points, Farrers Tyrepower 99, Delahunty Plumbing 88, Findex 78. – Joel Freeland

Horsham Lawn Thompson’s Jordan Toll Lawn Gillespie must lick its wounds and put in a strong showing against Natimuk on Saturday it if hopes to stay in touch with the top four. Natimuk was dismantled by Kalkee at the weekend, winning no sets and only 27 games. The closest Natimuk got to winning a rubber was Jo Taylor’s 8-6 loss to Paula Weidermann, but it was a mostly bleak day for the home side – the visiting Kees won four sets to love. Kalkee is now back in second place and will play St Michaels in a heavyweight rematch of last season’s grand final.

Tough time on court I

The Lady Hornets have a week off before another road trip with games against Warrnambool on December 7 and Geelong on December 8.

Horsham Lady Hornets were the sole team to taste victory in the women’s south-west conference, defeating Millicent Magic in a 78-77 thriller on Saturday night. The come-from-behind win was led by Caitlin Story, who scored eight of her team-high 20 points in the final term and helped the Lady Hornets erase an eight-point deficit. The team also had strong contributions from Faith McKenzie, 16 points, Georgia Hiscock and Olivia Jones, 13 each, and Grace Manserra, 10, helping overcome a huge 39-point game from the Magic’s Emily Winter. The Lady Hornets were unable to make it two wins from the road trip after a 58-45 loss to Mount Gambier Lakers on Sunday. The Lakers, led by Olivia Wormold, Emily Dawe and Claire Hunter, pulled away in the second half to win by 13. The Lady Hornets were again topped in scoring by Story, 14, with Jones, 11, the only other player to hit double digits.

None of the region’s men’s teams were able to win a game at the weekend, with Horsham Hornets suffering their first two losses of the season. Playing without several key contributors including leading scorer Jeremiah McKenzie, centre Damien Skurrie and bench players Sam Breuer and Ben Lakin, the Hornets were forced to rely on a troika of guard Mitch Martin, forward Matt Lovel and coach Tim Pickert for the bulk of their scoring. The three combined for 78 of the team’s 89 points against Millicent on Saturday, but could not stop Jordan Robertson, 34 points, from leading the home team to a five-point win. The undermanned Hornets came up short again, against league powerhouse Mount Gambier on Sunday, succumbing to a well-balanced Lakers team to lose 120-82. The Ararat Redbacks fared little better, losing back-to-back home games against Warrnambool Seahawks 85-77, on Saturday and Bellarine Storm, 82-73, on Sunday. The Redbacks were surprised by the struggling Seahawks, coughing

up an early 10-point lead to trail by nine at half time. A combined 36 points from Josh Fiegert and Fletcher Burger was not enough to make up the deficit after the long break. The team trailed all game against the Storm on Sunday but nearly pulled off a come-from-behind win after a Fiegert basket trimmed the margin to four points with just over two minutes left. It was the last time Ararat would score, as Bellarine hit crucial free throws to ice the game in the final minute. It was a second consecutive win for the Storm, which made light work of Stawell Wildcats in a 128-48 win on Saturday night. Clancy Whelan and Nathan Gronbeck outscored the Wildcats on their own with a combined 50 points. The home team was led by Aidan Marr, 17 points, with Aiden Graveson and Joel Freeland also notching double figures. The Redbacks and Hornets will meet in a regional rivalry clash in Ararat on Saturday night at 7pm, before the Redbacks take to the road to play Colac at 1pm on Sunday. Stawell will also be on the road, travelling to South Australia to take on Millicent Magic at 2pm on Sunday.

BRAINS OVER BRAWNDO: Horsham division one men’s player Jack Hannan lines up a hit against Melbourne-based side Brawndo during a match at Horsham Basketball Stadium. The Horsham side finished third, while Brawndo played off in a final against Hickman’s Warriors from Bendigo.

Mixed results for teams BY DAVID BERRY

olleyball Horsham teams were far from disgraced at a 25th annual Horsham Tournament that saw many high-quality teams gather in contention.

The men’s division-one final saw two new sides, Hickman’s Warriors from Bendigo and Brawndo from Melbourne, square off against each other with both teams full of talent. Volleyball Horsham’s men’s team finished in third place, missing the final by one set. Horsham captain Matthew Berry said the result was hard to take. “But that’s how it goes,” he said. “We didn’t achieve what we wanted to in what proved to be a very strong men’s division. “But we’ll bounce back for sure next year.” A women’s division-one final saw Melbourne Uni Renegades go back-to-back, but only after coming from two-sets-to-one down and winning in five against a Victorian White under-19 team. Volleyball Horsham’s women’s team finished fourth after being beaten by the Victoria White team in a preliminary final. Horsham women’s captain Kara Johnson said she was pleased with how the team played. “Our results showed we were competitive in every game we played, so I’m not

disappointed,” she said. “The most pleasing aspect was that we debuted 15-year-old Molly Fagan in division one in her first tournament, and Molly did a great job, despite being as nervous as a kitten.” In men’s division two it was a replay of last year’s final, with Adelaide’s Team United again proving too good for Horsham, which was decimated when key setter Nathan Berry went down with a serious ankle injury on Saturday. Captain Shaun Bray said key hitters Tim Popple and Jordy Weidemann had to share the setting duties in Berry’s absence. “And as hard as we tried, we couldn’t match the skill of the Team United setter Michael Ca-ayon,” he said. In women’s division two, tournament favourites South West Pirates had to pull out all stops to beat a determined Horsham team in four sets. The biggest highlight for the Horsham women was seeing Makaelah Robertson return to the play. Robertson had been training with the Australian Para Volley team in the lead up to the tournament. Horsham was victorious in a straightset win in men’s division-three, and for the team’s St Brigid’s College boys Will Brennan, Harry Combe, Sam Cameron and Aidan O’Connor, it marked a fourth consecutive win following their junior division takings. Team captain Scott Davidson said the boys started as juniors and won that divi-

sion three years in a row. “They handled the step up to senior competition seamlessly,” he said.

Juniors shine

The strength of junior volleyball in Horsham shone through with the top three teams on the junior division ladder all Volleyball Horsham teams. In the final, Murtoa defeated Holy Trinity Lutheran College Phantoms in a thrilling five setter which kept players, coaches, spectators and families on the edge of their seats. The tournament kicked off on the Friday night with a full grandstand watching ‘Harry’s Match 2’, involving for the first time Horsham and Murtoa female volleyball legends – Kara Johnson’s Gold Stars – playing a curtain raiser to the men’s match. In a display of determined volleyball, and despite not playing together for 10 years, the Horsham girls proved too good for Murtoa on the night. In a high-standard male contest afterwards, Chris Radford and Jordy Weidemann led the ‘Little Boys’ for a win in a tight three setter over the ‘Big Boys’. The volleyball year ends this weekend when a Volleyball Horsham under 19 girls’ team plays in the top division at an inaugural Volleyball Victoria Junior Open. The four-day event, starting on Sunday and ending with medal matches on the following Wednesday, will involve 150 teams from across Victoria and South Australia.

McDonald continues to dominate BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

orsham’s Steffi McDonald has continued to dominate in United States collegiate tennis, ranking in the top 50 women of National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, NAIA.

Playing for Blue Mountain College in Mississippi, McDonald was 42nd in the nation in the year-end Intercollegiate Tennis Association, ITA, women’s singles rankings released last week. The NAIA is a US collegiate athlet-

ics association for small colleges and universities, similar to the larger National Collegiate Athletic Association. McDonald’s ranking came after she reached round 16 at an ITA South Regional in New Orleans. The ITA South Region is considered the toughest in the country, with the top four NAIA players in the country coming from the region. McDonald, 19, said she was excited to be ranked in the top 50 nationwide, but still had plenty of improvement left in her. “It really is a great reward for all the

hard work I’ve put in this semester,” she said. “This semester has been a big one for me. I’ve really been working hard, and my game has developed immensely along with my strength and endurance. “I’ve probably also never enjoyed being on the court as much as I am right now. “It has been the hardest I’ve been pushed in a long time and that’s definitely credit to my coach for pushing me and developing my game as much as he has.

“Next semester my goal will be to increase my singles ranking, but really my ultimate goal is to get our team ranked and playing in nationals. “At this stage my next match will be our spring season opener in February, which I couldn’t be any more exited for. “We have a really exciting season coming up – it is going to be tough but it’s also going to be a lot of fun, so I’m really looking forward to it.” McDonald’s coach Randall Knox said he was proud of her dedication. “The ranking she’s accomplished is

First-time challengers set sailing standard Horsham Yacht Club commodore Rick Walker believes continuing an ACE Challenge sailing competition will be key to securing the club’s future. After testing the waters of the inaugural event across the last four weekends of November, Mr Walker said he was ‘very’ pleased and keen to expand upon it in coming years. “We’ve had come-and-try days before and no one turned up. We’ve had boats rigged up for Kannamaroo to try and show people that this is what a boat looks like – nothing happened,” he said. “This has been the only thing that has happened in about 33 years that’s been positive. It’s reaching people and that’s the key. “The yacht club is being talked about and if that doesn’t grow something, I don’t know what will.” The month-long challenge involved individual competitors taking turns to race single catamarans twice around a designated course, in attempts to post the best time. Apart from each other, challengers were also trying to match the time of an anonymous and experienced sailor – the ‘ACE’. Mr Walker said while two of the weekends were struck by poor wind, making it impossible for inexperienced sailors to navigate the course, eight people rose to the challenge across the remaining two event days. At a presentation dinner on Sunday, Mr Walker announced Horsham’s

In addition to winning a trophy, $300 from Horsham’s Nuseed and the first ACE Challenge title, Mr Walker was also the only competitor to beat the ACE’s time. The 19-year-old chef, from the United Kingdom, said it was an ‘un-

expected win’ considering his unfamiliarity with the sport. “I’ve had experience in other water sports like rowing since I was young, but I had never actually sailed before. This was my first time being in a boat like that,” he said. “It’s definitely good fun, and there’s a bit of a sense of pride there from winning and beating the ACE. “It’s nice to have your name as the first one on the trophy as well. “If I’m here next year I might de-

fend that and try and get my name down again.” Mr Walker encouraged other people in the region to have a go when the second ACE Challenge sets sail next year. “It’s a fun experience that’s definitely worth doing,” he said. Mr Walker said he would like to see up to 28 people, from a broad age range, take on the challenge next year. – Lotte Reiter

a reflection of her hard work throughout the fall,” he said. “I’m really excited for her and I’m looking forward to the spring season and how far she can climb the singles rankings. “I’m also looking forward to the spring with our team and the new incoming recruits and seeing how far we can climb in team rankings.” Knox said McDonald provided a solid foundation for the future of Blue Mountain College’s tennis program, which was restarted only four years ago.

Creek, Bruce meet in NBL Horsham exports Mitch Creek and Shaun Bruce squared off in Australia’s premier basketball competition at the weekend, with Bruce claiming bragging rights. Bruce had six points, two rebounds and four assists as his Sydney Kings survived a fightback from Creek’s South East Melbourne Phoenix to win 90-86 in National Basketball League, NBL, competition on Saturday. Creek, who is considered one of the favourites for the NBL’s most valuable player award, did all he could to get the Phoenix across the line, tallying 20 points and seven rebounds. Creek’s season average of 21.6 points a game places him third in the league. Bruce is also in the midst of his best season in the NBL, averaging nearly six points and four assists a game for the 9-1 Kings.

Blue Panthers set mighty target R

BY DEAN LAWSON

uns aplenty at Rupanyup have set up Rupanyup-Minyip for an important points haul as Horsham Cricket Association’s A Grade competition ramps up in a run to Christmas.

The Blue Panthers will defend a hefty 400-plus score against NoradjuhaToolondo on Saturday after a century and two near centuries dominated results on the first day of a two-day fixture. A precarious 4-78 and then 5-162 evolved into 9-402 as Daniel Schaper, 101, Dan Clark, 99, and Brayden Ison, 83, conspired to put the game on its head. Ison at first drop held up an end while wickets fell around him early and ultimately his knock provided a platform for a willing middle order. Schaper, in at six, and Young, seven, then added 162 to ultimately put the home side in what appears an unassailable position. Rupanyup-Minyip will initially be on the hunt for first-innings points but team leaders would have a second-innings result brewing in the back of the mind. An outright result at this time of the year against what has been an in-form team would be a massive bonus for the Blue Panthers, sitting third on the

ladder behind Homers and NoradjuhaToolondo. The Bullants face an enormous challenge, but it’s a scenario that would have batsman Justtin Combe licking his lips with anticipation. Combe feeds off pressure and it might be a case of which of his team-mates can stick with him at the crease. A second-innings result is certainly on the cards in a game at Dimboola where Homers have already secured first-innings points against BlackheathDimboola. Another century, this time from the blade of all-rounder Jason Kannar, 122 not out, dominated a Homers scorecard, which showed the Pigeons making 6-267 against the home side’s 65. Simon Hopper, 46, and Brenton Hallam, 36, were also important contributors while Robert Somers, 4-55, and Brodie Cramer, 3-85, were the most successful bowlers for the Bulls. Earlier in the afternoon, BlackheathDimboola batsmen struggled to stay at the wicket with only Sam Polack, 22, and Somers, 10, getting into double figures. Debutant John Officer was the most successful Homers bowler with 3-15. There were also plenty of runs but fewer wickets at Cornell Park in Horsham where Horsham Saints set Colts a target of 239 for victory.

A variety of Saints batsmen contributed to the healthy score and only seven wickets fell. Simon McKinnon top-scored down the order, clipping 10 fours in his 65, Matt Currill made 44 and opener Corey Smith 43. Tony Caccaviello, 26, and Ben Stephens, 25, also chimed in with runs. Liam Jakobi was the leading wickettaker with 3-57 for Colts, who now have to work hard to chase down a difficult target. At Horsham City Oval a game likely to influence how hard teams have to work to secure a spot in the finals come next year is in the balance. Laharum, desperate for a pre-Christmas win, needs seven cheap wickets for victory when play resumes on Saturday, while Jung Tigers require 162 runs. Laharum made 205 last week with Anthony Molloy scoring a season-high 71 in the middle order, Ben Peucker hitting 34, Mal Adams, 29, and Sean Wouters 25 despite David Puls clinching 4-38 for the Tigers. Jung will resume on Saturday at 3-44 in reply, having lost Simon Mock, Marty Knight and Tyler Puls. Angus Adams, 19, and Dale Dridan, 11, will resume the innings. Weather might still yet play a part in results, especially on turf-wicket games, with showers predicted for Saturday.

Combine, Saints in match of round G

BY ONE SHORT

rampians Cricket Association matches concluding on Saturday led to Chalambar dismissing Halls Gap for just 112 runs to give the side a 75-run victory and a valuable six points.

Mathew ‘Moon’ McKinnis was the principle wicket-taker with three wickets, while Marcus Elliot, 22, was the only Gapper to score more than 20. At Stawell’s Central Park, Swifts-Great Western scored a comfortable 55-run win over Youth Club. Youth Club started the day at 1-32 and took its score to 80 before losing 9-86 in a disappointing performance. Opener Bailey Taylor fell just short of a half-century on 49 while captain Nic Baird recorded 43 runs. Best of the Combine’s bowlers were spinner Travis Nicholson 3-11 and left-arm swing bowler Lachlan Patching recorded 3-33. In the remaining match of the round St Andrews forfeited to Pomonal. The feature game this week involves thirdplaced Swifts-Great Western returning to Central Park Stawell to take on ladder-leaders St Andrews in a one-day fixture. This will be the first real test of the Saints because their previous wins have been against lower teams Pomonal and Halls Gap. The Combine secured a good win against Youth Club last game, while the Saints were forced into an embarrassing forfeit. Such form would suggest a win to the Combine, but Saints batsmen Tom Mills, Ned Bohner and Paul Menzies, together with all-rounder Michael Harricks, will ensure the Saints are in with a good show. The Combine, for their part, will rely on master-blaster Sam Cocks and the Eckels to provide enough runs for bowlers Lachlan Patching and captain Matt Heffer to bowl the Saints out. Youth Club travels to Halls Gap with the hope of bouncing back after its last-round loss and the Gappers form doesn’t suggest they have the firepower to match the Clubbers’ batting. Bailey Taylor’s last match indicates the Clubbers have found an opener and Nic Baird still looms as the danger batsmen.

OPENER: Youth Club opening batsman Bailey Taylor, pictured, fell just short of a half century on 49. He was well supported by captain Nic Baird who recorded 43 runs. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The Gappers’ main batsman Charlie McIntosh is yet to post a decent score, and their bowlers have been doing a fair job so far, so it won’t be plain sailing for the Clubbers. Pomonal will host Chalambar at Ararat’s Alexander Oval if pitch-roller problems have been fixed. This match could go either way depending on the performance of the batsmen in the respective teams. It appears it’s the contest between Chalambar bowlers against Pomonal’s batsmen that will decide the result, for a low Pomonal score would end their chances.

Out of trouble Victorian representative Casey Wild from Wodonga punches a ball out of a sand trap at Nhill Golf Course during an interstate country golfing challenge. Leading country players from Victoria and South Australia took on each other in the weekend tournament in a variety of formats including foursome, four-ball best-ball and individual match play. Wild and Steffi Vogel, Cobram-Barooga, and South Australia’s Deb Christie, Lameroo, and Jess Reynolds, Willunga, were the tournament’s inaugural women’s representatives. Wild finished the tournament undefeated. Adam Tribe from Halls Gap and Stawell golfer Tim Coffey were Wimmera representatives in the Victorian team. South Australia ultimately wrestled the interstate title away from the Victorians, winning the aggregate 11½-8½ after breaking a deadlock with strong individual performances on Sunday.
