Farm-energy push T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he first stage of a proposed multi-million-dollar project to revolutionise Wimmera-Mallee farms based on renewable energy and the uptake of ‘green’ hydrogen is underway at Kalkee.

Energy Independent Farming Pty Ltd, formed on the back of multifaceted agricultural firm Blairfarms, is developing the project based on the concept of on-farm renewable-energy generation, storage and use.

Plans are to first establish an energygenerating farm prototype on the site of Blairs’ PB Seeds’ processing centre on Blue Ribbon Road, north of Horsham. They then involve expanding the concept through energy microgrids

and project-template sharing across the Wimmera-Mallee.

The project scope, which involves a collaboration between industry and all tiers of government, embraces emerging renewable-energy capture and storage technology to produce ‘green’ hydrogen via on-farm electrolysis.

The goal is to replace farm and agricultural-industry reliance on diesel and in the long term establish a network of hydrogen-fuel outlets for heavy vehicles and machinery and a broad renewable-farm-energy blueprint for export.

The concept, embracing both electricity and hydrogen renewable-energy evolution, has undergone extensive planning and scrutiny.

It has the potential to dramatically reduce an agricultural carbon footprint across the region, increase cost and productivity efficiencies, set the Wimmera as a foundation for technological change and generate economic activity and jobs. It also fits neatly into a Federal Government hydrogen-based renewable-energy push.

Energy Independent Farming is the brainchild of Thomas Blair, a returned serviceman and son of Wimmera agricultural entrepreneur Peter Blair, and his business partner and international renewable-energy specialist Bradley Warren from Queensland.

The project is in its infancy and expectations are high. The partners have spent the past 16 months doing

groundwork, refining plans and establishing relationships with energyindustry stakeholders.

A $250,000 State Government grant has opened the door for a start on the stage-one energy-farm prototype.

The funding breakthrough and confidence of a rapid and broad concept acceptance and adoption has prompted the team to immediately apply for Federal Government support to push into an expansive $15-million project stage.

Mr Blair said observing an uptake of renewable-energy innovation in Europe after finishing his time in the military sparked his interest in bringing the idea home to the Wimmera.

“Having a family-farming back-

ground I could see where we might be able to implement change – to get away from reliance on diesel while at the same time having a guaranteed supply of industrial-level energy regardless of a regional, rural or remote circumstance,” he said.

“The main energy consumption for Blairfarms is the many different types of farm machinery that use on average 130,000 litres of diesel a year.

“PBseeds operates a grain-cleaning facility that runs 12 to 16 hours a day.

“The plant machinery operates on three-phase electricity and due to our rural location, this requires a 160-kilowatt diesel generator.”

Rates shuffle in budget proposals

H

orsham mayor Robyn Gulline has described Horsham Rural City Council endorsement of a proposed 2021-2022 budget as ‘financially fair and equitable’.

She said the draft, open for community feedback until June 7, reflected efforts to meet the ‘ever-present challenge’ of achieving an urban-rural balance.

The draft shows that Horsham ratepayers overall face a 1.5 percent rate rise as per a ministerial cap, a farm-differential or discount rates reduction of 67 percent of property value to 59 percent and a reduction of a municipal charge from $274 to $240.

Under the draft proposal farm rates will drop eight percent, residential rates rise 3.01 percent, commercial rates fall by 4.33 percent and industrial rates increase by 0.18 percent.

The draft budget also includes a 27 percent, or $1.56-million, increase in spending on rural roads and infrastructure and $20.3-million in capi-

tal works, which include upgrades to Horsham Caravan Park, the construction of accessible change rooms at Horsham Aquatic Centre and the refurbishment of Horsham Town Hall’s heritage floor.

Money will also go to riverfront developments and implementation of a City to River Masterplan and other projects.

The council will provide money for the 2021-22 works program from $8.9-million in external grants, $6-million from general revenue, $4.76-million from cash reserves and the balance from asset sales.

It has no plans to borrow external money this year.

Cr Gulline said the draft was based on a responsible approach to balance community priorities.

“We have seen a year like no other and this budget is aimed at getting us back on track while delivering key projects and infrastructure improvements in the coming financial year,” she said.

She said rural communities would

see a substantial increase in infrastructure spending.

She said farm values had increased by 27.42 percent in the past 12 months, prompting the council to propose the eight percent discount to the agricultural sector.

“Residential ratepayers pay rates on the full value of their properties and are funding this discount,” Cr Gulline said.

“The farm sector had one of its most productive years on record during the 2020 season and this was on the back of a strong year in 2019.

“This is driving an extremely aggressive market in farmland sales that has led to some extraordinary leaps in land value and therefore rates.

“These changes will deliver a fairer outcome to the 2021-22 rate distribution but because of the changes in valuations, we will see the average contribution of rates for the farm sector rise by 10.65 percent.

“If the council was not to adjust the differential, the farm sector increase would have been about 17.9 percent.”

The council debated the draft during a busy Monday night meeting and elements of the plan attracted considerable debate, including on the pros and cons of distributing the rate burden between sectors.

Pedestrian bridge

The inclusion of a $2.1-million Hamilton Street pedestrian bridge in budget calculations also raised concerns.

Cr Di Bell, with support from Cr Ian Ross, despite declaring support for the bridge concept overall, attempted to remove the project from the draft based on it representing ‘a defeated motion’.

They argued the council had already voted against a funding model for the bridge this year and including it in the draft was setting direction without funding confirmation.

But other councillors, led by Cr Les Power, argued that including the project in the draft, which was still ‘live’ provided an opportunity for the community to have a

Farm-energy project making headway From page one The annual cost for this generator is greater than $50,000.

“Financial benefits of pursuing an alternative, apart from developing a carbon-neutral industry, are obvious,” Mr Blair said.

Mr Warren has extensive experience with renewable-energy opportunities, including a 13-year stint in the Middle East where he worked on finding commercially viable solutions for major environmental projects.

“We looked at hydrogen in 2008 to 2010 and the rolling out of investment into electric vehicles. Part of that program was to look at industrial areas of United Arab Emirates and how those areas could use renewables for future-proofing,” Mr Warren said.

“At that stage cost was a major issue for renewables and it wasn’t viable to pursue ‘green’ hydrogen. But that opportunity has come of age in the past 18 months.”

The first stage of the project, involving the installation of a 100-kilowatt solar photovoltaic, PV, system at the site, which will initially offset power needs of PBSeeds, is already underway.

Following stages will involve adapting the site for the installation of a hydrogen electrolyser and battery.

Wednesday, April 28, 2021

The level of Commonwealth funding will determine the speed of further development stages, which include collaborating with stablemate business Traction Ag to explore hydrogen-powered machinery applications, expanding an agribusiness hybrid-energy network and establishing ‘localised power micro-grids’.

Energy Independent Farming already has an alliance with energy storage company Local Energy Centres, which focuses on developing agricultural micro-grids and has earmarked Blairfarms as a showcase for hybrid hydrogen-powered farming.

The group has also been working behind the scenes with Wimmera Development Association, which has been strongly advocating the potential of hydrogen.

Association chief executive Chris Sounness said the project was an exciting development.

“It is basically a demonstration of what will become the norm across our region in the coming years,” he said.

“While it seems to be something out of our reach at the moment, broad adoption of this type of technology and process will be far more rapid than most people realise.

“It is great to see such a prototype in our region.”

MOVING FORWARD: Horsham district’s Thomas Blair is part of a Wimmera push to capitalise on the potential for industrial-scale renewable energy.

say through submissions. The draft budget is available on the council’s website, www.hrcc.vic.gov.au via a ‘Have Your Say’ section.

Cr Gulline said preparation of the annual budget was one of the council’s most important responsibilities and encouraged people to review details and provide feedback for the council to consider.

She stressed a need for people to read supporting documentation to gain a contextual view of proposals.

The council will formally adopt a budget in late June.

People can provide input or gain information via online information and feedback forms on the council website; information displays in Horsham central business district; from a planned drop-in shop; a social-media live question and answer session; a webiner to summarise the budget and promote submissions; the council’s ‘Community Map’ as a graphic guide and tool for viewing capital works; and on online forum.

Campaign to ‘save’ hospitals Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is encouraging people to sign a petition pressuring the Labor government to ‘get its hands off our regional hospitals’.

Ms Kealy and National party colleagues launched the ‘Hands Off Our Hospital’ campaign yesterday in response to proposals to merge Wimmera hospitals with Ballarat Health Services.

Ms Kealy said the campaign was designed to ‘save local hospital services from Labor’s plan to force them to amalgamate with Ballarat Health Services under a formal partnership approach’.

“Labor is taking the ‘local’ out of local hospitals to create mega-hospitals controlled by the bureaucracy and dominated by the larger regional cities,” she said.

“Far from delivering better services, hospital mergers mean longer waiting lists and increased travel to get the treatment you need and deserve.”

Ms Kealy said whether the problem was funding, infrastructure, insufficient clinical staff and specialists or recruitment, amalgamation was not the solution.

She said people could visit website www.handsoffourhospitals.com.au to sign the petition.

Plan under microscope A

ustralian Plant Proteins director Phil McFarlane has urged people to use an online information session tomorrow to find out more about a proposed $160,000 wastewater farm at Quantong.

Mr McFarlane said people should take the opportunity to ask questions, ‘in a constructive manner’ to develop a clear understanding of what the project involved.

He was responding to community anxiety over plans for a Blair family-owned Water Sustainability Farm site at Quantong where APP hopes to truck waste water from its production site at Horsham Enterprise Estate.

A group of angry Quantong residents is fiercely opposed to the concept, using social media to air grievances and fears. They have also lodged a series of questions via a State Government engagement web portal.

The residents have major concerns about what the site might represent in relation to the environment, property values, lifestyle and the future of farm and tourism business opportunities.

They have also raised issues about pre-planning consultation.

“Like any major development there is a consultation process and regulatory bodies that ultimately determine whether a project can or can’t proceed.

Everyone must have an opportunity to ask questions and have a say,” Mr McFarlane said.

He said APP had little choice but to pursue independent water treatment and recycling for production because of a lack of infrastructure in Horsham.

He added the company was also determined to ‘make it work’ by keeping in line with regulatory and environmental waste-water practices while taking responsibility in appropriately managing its own water use.

“This is all about basic good corporate citizenship and making sure we manage and recycle water in an environmental and sustainable way,” he said.

“We have plans to explore more value-adding projects from the waste streams and stand on our reputation

in adhering and promoting to environmental and sustainable standards.”

Water Sustainability Farm has proposed to manage two APP waste streams at the Quantong site – an average of 57,000 litres of brine and up to 5000 kilograms a day of dewatered sludge compost.

The business proposes to concentrate the brine through solar evaporation in four drying basins and dry the compost sludge in windrows on a drying pad.

The plan is to use the dried material as a value-added product for agricultural purposes and most likely dispose of ‘super-saline’ waste in landfill post-evaporation.

Seed preparation and naturally occurring salt in pulses lifts the saline level in water used in protein-powder production.

GWMWater is providing interim waste-water management services while the treatment-plant project undergoes regulatory scrutiny.

Water Sustainability Farm will host an online information session between 7.30pm and 8.30pm tomorrow to explain information it has provided to Environment Protection Authority Victoria.

People can join the session on website engage.vic.gov.au/epa-works-approvals/water-sus.

Horsham Rural City Council and EPA are also encouraging people to lodge submissions regarding the plan before a May 7 deadline. The council is also urging people to read project-application documentation.

Horsham council

Horsham council communities and place director Kevin O’Brien said council planning officers had been in ongoing communication with Water Sustainability Farm since late last year, following three complaints relating to large-scale earthworks at the site.

“All on-site works have stopped and Water Sustainability Farm is aware it requires a council planning permit before construction or operation of evaporation basins can take place,” he said.

“The council reassures residents that no planning-permit application has

been lodged with the council to date, and there is much work that needs to be undertaken as part of any statutory planning-permit application.”

Mr O’Brien said council officers had encouraged WSF to make direct contact with neighbouring Quantong residents.

“The WSF has lodged a works application with Environment Protection Authority and the assessment process is underway using the Engage Vic online portal. Website, engage.vic.gov. au/epa-works-approvals/water-sus provides the most up-to-date information on the progress of the project,” he said.

“The EPA has requested WSF provide additional information to support the works application and the process will not continue until this is provided.”

Mr McFarlane said the water-treatment farm was similar but smaller to what was in already place to deal with Horsham waste water off the Wimmera Highway at nearby Vectis.

“In the end, we have confidence in the approval process involving the relevant regulatory bodies and their scientific and environmental professionalism,” he said.

Odour

Mr McFarlane’s comments came after he assured Horsham people that an odour coming from the water-treatment plant at the company’s Horsham Enterprise Estate site was temporary.

He said the odour had been the unfortunate result of the final stages of commissioning the treatment plant.

“We expect the odour will disappear quite quickly and as a precautionary measure will also cover the plant with roofing to ensure future odours don’t occur,” he said.

“We apologise for any inconvenience to residents and thank them for their patience.”

A $45.7-million investment from international agri-food giant Bunge has fast-tracked plans for Australian Plant Proteins to double production of plant-protein powder.

The expansion will take the plant’s Horsham workforce to more than 40.

REUNITED: Auckland resident Suzie King was on one of the first flights out of New Zealand to Australia when borders reopened, so she could visit her mother Maria Sordello in Horsham.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Suzie happy to be ‘home’ Horsham’s Maria Sordello and her daughter Suzie King are enjoying a special reunion thanks to a trans-Tasman ‘travel bubble’ between Australia and New Zealand.

Mrs King – who is from Horsham and lives in Auckland with her husband and their two children – had not seen her mother for 15 months after both countries shut their borders amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mrs King said she was thrilled when New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced an agreement between the countries, allowing people to travel freely within a ‘bubble’ without mandatory quarantine.

“When I heard the borders were opening, I was already online,” Mrs King said.

“I bought my tickets straight away as Jacinda was announcing the bubble would open on April 19.

“I was on flight NZ123 at 8.45am from Auckland to Melbourne, which was one of the first flights.

“I’m home for 10 days.

“I’ve had a week in Horsham and I’m going to spend a couple of days with my brother and his family in Melbourne.”

Mrs King said she usually visited her mother every six months.

“I hope to get back again in October if the bubble remains open,” she said.

“But it was super important that I got over because in that 15 months, mum had breast cancer, I lost a sister-in-law and I hadn’t seen my brother or his family since she passed away.

“There’s lots going on – I’m just one of many who have stories.”

Mrs King said despite the forced separation, she considered herself among the lucky ones.

“Hopefully the bubble stays open and we can come and go as we please,” she said.

“We’re lucky to live on this side of the world, really.”

Mrs Sordello said it was ‘lovely’ to have her daughter home.

Let’s have clarity

H

ave we gone or been mad? And are we on the road to getting it right?

In watching, reading and listening to news bulletins on just about any issue that involves government and their departmental protocols and processes it’s been a safe bet to assume, particularly in the regions, we’ll end up with more questions than answers.

In a society screaming for straightforward direction based on common sense, compassion and a majority of community sentiment, we have seemed as lost as ever in a tangle of bureaucracy and ignorance.

If we ever needed an example of a need to ditch the bulldust, it has surely been in the relationship between our top two tiers of government and the people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

But as we’ve seen during the past year, the pandemic has unveiled the awkward course many of our state and federal leaders walk in applying politically motivated approaches to decisions demanding a straight-forward and educated approach.

It is little wonder that this muddle filters down through departmental agencies, which must try to make sense of it all. Little wonder we’re left with curious outcomes, contradictions and ambiguous responses and decisions – all fuel for radical elements of society looking for opportunities to explore weaknesses in the system.

A prime example of circumstances generating a confused message must surely be a state decision to allow tens of thousands of people to attend a football match at the MCG while severely limiting the amount of people at an Anzac Day commemoration service. To use an old line from Larson cartoons: ‘What the hey?’

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson We also need only look at the wobbly COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, the debacle surrounding the quarantining of overseas travellers, major projects starting, stopping or being held up for years at great public expense and community outcries about all sorts of issues such as a lack of understanding of our health needs in regional areas. To the average person it has appeared all over the shop.

It all falls well short of reflecting high-level governments and their agencies working like pragmatic, efficient and well-oiled machines and instead suggests more effort goes into establishing the process instead of getting results.

Private enterprise has had to endure some of the overflow of this muddle and if consumed by the same approach simply couldn’t operate.

COVID-19 has given us a sneak view of what can fester under the covers of bureaucracy and we wonder what else lurks in the depths.

Sure, I might be offering over-simplified commentary about the complications surrounding the governance of millions of people across a vast land. Or am I? Regardless, we must be able to have confidence in our agencies and the elected members setting direction and calling the shots above them.

Claims rejected

SIR, – In reference to two comments attributed to a ‘government spokesperson’ in Dylan De Jong’s article in Highway Plans under Scrutiny, The Weekly Advertiser, April 15.

I represent the Djab Wurrung Traditional Owners who have succeeded three times in the Federal Court since 2019 to have decisions by the Federal Minister for the Environment quashed when she refused to protect the area and trees on a stretch of the Western Highway between Beaufort and Ararat.

It is incorrect for the government to claim the Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation ‘represents the Djab Wurrung people and we continue to respect their cultural authority to speak for the Djab Wurrung country’.

My clients have repeatedly rejected that claim, in submissions to the courts.

EMAC filed submissions in the current Supreme Court proceeding which rejected the Wednesday, April 28, 2021

claims of the Djab Wurrung Traditional Owners.

EMAC, along with VicRoads, withheld from the Minister for the Environment an extremely significant cultural-heritage report dated December 7, 2018 which was commissioned by EMAC with $27,000 provided by VicRoads.

These facts are stated in my sworn affidavit evidence to the Federal Court.

The government also misinformed your reporter about the safety issues.

An independent Transport Planner, William McDougall, has confirmed that of 176 crashes on the 109-kilometre stretch of the highway from Ballarat to Stawell – of which 88 crashes and 11 deaths occurred on the 62-kilometre already upgraded and duplicated section between Ballarat to Buangor – the 17-kilometre Beaufort to Ararat section had experienced 27 crashes and no fatalities in the past 10 years.

Wine weekend set to fill void

G

rampians winemakers and tourism leaders are looking forward to a two-day wine and produce event to showcase their products and attract visitors to the region.

Wine and produce representative body Grampians Winemakers will host an inaugural Grampians Wine Weekend on Saturday and Sunday.

Event organisers believe the weekend will create a platform for regional winemakers and producers to showcase their products after Grampians Grape Escape organisers cancelled their 2021 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In past years, Grampians Grape Escape attracted more than 9000 patrons and up to 120 stallholders over two days in early May. Tourism leaders estimated the event was worth between $3-million and $4-million to the Grampians economy annually.

Grampians Winemakers president Damien Sheehan said people across Victoria would have an opportunity to meet regional winemakers and producers on both days of the newly established wine weekend.

He said it was critical to reward the loyalty of wine lovers with an event to continue the tradition of the grape escape.

“The GGE event was a fantastic event that supported wine tourism in the Grampians region,” Mr Sheehan said.

“Wine lovers all over the state have come to Halls Gap over the past 20 years to experience the fantastic wines of our region.

“The Grampians Wine Weekend continues the wine and food event tradition begun in 1993.

“Wine lovers all over the state have come to Halls Gap over the past 20 years to experience the fantastic wines of our region. The Grampians Wine Weekend continues the wine and food event tradition begun in 1993”

– Damien Sheehan

“While COVID has unfortunately cancelled this year’s Grampians Grape Escape, Grampians winemakers have got together and organised their own events – a Saturday pop-up on the Halls Gap Oval and winery events on the Sunday.”

Wineries will be also offering wine tastings and sales by the glass.

Regional cellar doors will have a range of ‘special events’ across the whole weekend.

Mr Sheehan said Grampians Wine Weekend would be a perfect opportunity for people to gain an ‘authentic experience’ of the wine region, which was home to some of the world’s oldest vines.

“The Grampians wine region is known world-wide for its cool climate peppery shiraz. This upcoming weekend is the perfect opportunity for everyone to experience all that is great about the region,” he said.

“It is a wonderful opportunity for wine and food enthusiasts to visit our region once again and discover the magnificence of our food and wine.”

The youngsters are taking part in a basketball marathon, rotating

players for ‘red’ and ‘blue’ teams and ensuring a game is always in progress during the challenge.

Participant Chase Whelan, who has personally raised about $215, said grade-sixers had taken on the task to generate money for

Cancer Council’s annual Relay for Life.

“It’s about everyone also getting together and having a great time,” he said.

“We’re aiming for everyone involved to raise about $25.”

Accolades for Grampians wineries Several Grampians wineries feature in Gourmet Traveller Wine magazine’s Australia’s Best Cellar Door Awards.

The magazine’s annual MayJune issue showcases the ‘best’ cellar doors across the country, as judged by the magazine’s ‘expert writers’.

Mt Langi Ghiran, near Ararat, won the best large cellar door accolade for the GrampiansHenty wine region.

Halls Gap’s Fallen Giants winery triumphed in the best small cellar door section, while Pomonal Estate was elected the cellar door with the best food.

Best’s Great Western won accolades for the best additional cellar door experience, thanks to its underground cellar and helicopter tour options.

According to the magazine’s writers, family-owned Mountainside Wines has the Grampi-

ans-Henty’s best accommodation – The Blue House – with the best tasting experience at Bochara Wines, west of Hamilton.

The region’s top award, the ‘star cellar door’ went to Pierrepoint Wines, between Hamilton and Tarrington.

Judged were impressed with the ‘local gem’, owned and operated by the Lacey family since 2000.

ADDING VALUE: Regional Development Australia Grampians chair Stuart Benjamin is advocating for more foodmanufacturing investment to process the region’s agricultural commodities.

Three major things affect the nervous system and your spine:

Tapping into new ag opportunities A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

regional development leader believes the Wimmera-Mallee must seek investment in food-manufacturing opportunities to maximise value of agricultural commodities.

Regional Development Australia Grampians chair Stuart Benjamin said the region’s identity as ‘the country’s food bowl’ represented a major opportunity to manufacture primary agriculture products.

Agricultural value-added opportunities in the region will be a focal point of a presentation Mr Benjamin has prepared for a regional leaders breakfast at Horsham Angling Club tomorrow.

He said the untapped food-manufacturing market was a ‘hidden opportunity’ and it was crucial to seek investment opportunities to provide a major boost for the region’s socio-economic profile.

“Agriculture is our largest economic output in the Wimmera-southern Mallee. It makes up about $1-billion in gross domestic product for the region,” he said.

“What most people won’t know is for what we produce, we only add value to about one percent of that product.”

Regional Development Australia is researching where opportunities might exist for the Wimmera-Mallee to add manufacturing value to agriculture products.

Mr Benjamin said farmers and producers had historically exported their produce from the farm gate to other regional centres or major cities to add value.

“What ends up happening is not only are we giving up that opportunity to add that value in our own community, but also from an environmental perspective – we are shipping a lot of product that doesn’t need to be shipped,” he said.

“There’s usually about 50 percent of by-product that comes out of any manufacturing process – often that is then shipped back to the region, because it goes into a feedstock process or is used as fertiliser.”

1) How we move - have an adjustment-don’t put up with a problem even if it’s not painful- if it’s stopping you from moving well, you need a hand from me.

2) How we think - keep positive and read something uplifting every day, being over-anxious causes stress on the nervous system & compromising the immune system.

3) How we eat - Eat good quality food, lots of fruit, veggies and some fresh meat.

Absorbing nutrients from food helps us heal and have a healthy nervous system and immune system. Remember when you were sick, healthy bone broths of chicken and beef were always good you.

A healthy, well moving spine is great nutrition for the brain, it helps you think clearer, move better and sleep better. Looking forward to helping you.

Mr Benjamin said Wimmera-Mallee producers’ ability to grow canola meant there were immediate investment opportunities to process the oilseed in the region.

“You have a bulk-processing requirement for canola, where the first requires the plant to be crushed. Why aren’t we doing that locally?” he said.

He added that the region could be growing durum wheat to meet growing market demand.

“The biggest buyer of durum wheat, San Remo, has made no secret of its desire to grow its purchase of durum from 170,000 tonnes to 300,000 over the next couple of years,” he said.

“The region could not only benefit from transitioning to grow the product, but what we’d like to see is if the initial processing of the durum plant could occur in the region to extract that value locally.”

Mr Benjamin said the opening of Horsham processing company Australian Plant Proteins was a prime example of value-added agriculture.

The company converts pulses into a highly sought-after multi-use food additive. Company leaders plan to double the facility’s output within a year following a $45.7-million investment from international agri-food giant Bunge.

“What we’ve seen in the past couple of weeks with further investment into the pulse-protein plant is that food manufacturing is a very attractive sector at the moment worth a large amount of capital,” Mr Benjamin said.

“You need a lot of employees to process at that level and considering one of the biggest goals is to increase our population we believe this is a great way of achieving that.”

Mr Benjamin said a bioenergy project unfolding in Ararat provided another example of value-adding in the region’s agriculture sector.

“Ararat is talking about taking a waste product, something that farmers would normally burn off – and actually creating a value-added product in this case energy,” he said.

New probe into precinct

BY DEAN LAWSON

D

evelopment of a Wimmera Regional MultiSport Precinct including a new indoor stadium in Horsham is back on the table.

Horsham Rural City Council voted at a meeting on Monday night to receive a scoping report for a new feasibility study to consider a preferred location.

The move comes on the back of council endorsement of a City to River Masterplan in 2019 that included a call for an independent study on the issue.

The council secured $30,000 in Sport and Recreation Victoria funding for the $60,000 study cost and matched it as part of a 2020-2021 budget.

The project is due for completion by January 31, 2022.

The council heard the study would use previous council studies and unlike the past would explore a precinct that would include outdoor as well as indoor sporting needs.

Similar to a previous indoorsport stadium study, the process would involve assessing sites across multiple locations, including a McBryde StreetHorsham Showground Crown land area and a greenfield Jenkinson Avenue site in Horsham west.

The council heard that Sport and Recreation Victoria would only consider funding the project if planning involved both indoor and outdoor facilities.

Cr Di Bell spoke passionately about the project and a ‘need to get it right’.

“This study is about finding the absolute best opportunity and location for this to take sport further forward in our region,” she said.

Cr Bell gained support to consolidate a motion to receive and note the report scope by incorporating 2019 council direction to ensure the study ‘started with a clean slate’, a direction which prompted an approach for gov-

ernment funding support. She said it was imperative the study worked to reflect the needs and wants of the broader Horsham community and its organisations while covering off on key social and technical issues.

reports and studies. The process involves establishing a project control group to act as a steering committee responsible for ensuring project outcomes, budget, time and quality criteria are met.

Working and reference groups will provide information to the control group and a project consultant will develop the overall plan.

A Community Stakeholder Engagement Plan involving ‘intensive’ engagement with key project stakeholders is also a priority.

Various councillors spoke of the benefits of developing a new sporting precinct.

The site of a multi-purpose sports stadium in Horsham was the subject of considerable debate.

The council settled on the showgrounds for the stadium but the debate opened questions about a broader precinct concept.

Objectives

The objectives of the feasibility study will be to: Identify the function requirements of an outdoor regional multi-sport precinct in association with a proposed Wimmera Indoor Sports Stadium; and determine the feasibility of an outdoor multisports precinct that can meet the needs of users and provide a facility that can cater for regional sporting activities; determine the most suitable location for an outdoor multi-sport precinct with consideration of co-location options with a proposed indoor stadium.

Planning will involve reviewing and considering all previous community consultation and documentation and a variety of

Basketball star in the clear Police have confirmed they have ceased investigations into an incident in Melbourne last year that led to Horsham basketball star Mitch Creek facing assault charges.

They said in an official statement: “On the advice of prosecutions all charges have been withdrawn in relation to an incident in Maribyrnong on November 22, 2020. At this stage there is no further investigation into this matter.”

Police had originally charged Creek, 28, with intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury and unlawful assault.

Creek has vehemently denied the allegations and police withdrew all charges during a Sunshine Magistrates’ Court mention hearing last week.

Creek relinquished the captaincy of his National Basketball League club South East Melbourne Phoenix and the league also initially ordered him to stop training and playing while the case was before the courts. The league later reversed the decision, allowing Creek to return for the Phoenix.

Dismissal of the charges means Creek might now be free to push for national selection in an Australian team heading for the Tokyo Olympics, but his immediate playing future appears in the hands of Basketball Australia’s Integrity Unit.

South East Melbourne Phoenix posted on its website that Basketball Australia had informed the league that the integrity unit ‘would review the matter to determine if any further action was required’.

Creek has been a model sporting ambassador for Horsham and the Wimmera since he was a junior and developments in March came as a shock to many in the community and regional basketball fraternity.

A celebration of ‘human spirit’ Wimmera-Mallee residents turned out in force at Anzac Day events across the region on Sunday to pay tribute to past and present servicemen and women.

Horsham RSL president Bob Lockwood was among leaders to celebrate a return of public services in 2021, after last year’s gatherings were cancelled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He expressed his pleasure while addressing a crowd of about 700 at a dawn service at Horsham and District War Memorial and Cenotaph at Sawyer

Park. “I must say it is fantastic to see the amount of young people here today, it’s growing every year,” he said.

“Our Anzac Day is their Anzac Day.” Wimmera police Superintendent Ian Milner also addressed the Horsham service, highlighting the importance of celebrating the spirit of Anzac and honouring the dead.

Mr Milner said Anzac Day was a great Australian and New Zealand tradition.

“It is celebrated all over our two nations and wherever Australians are overseas,” he said.

“It is our day – a day to remember with affection the courage of people and the value of friendship, to honour the dead and acknowledge those who suffer still from the effects of war.

“We do not celebrate victory or glorify war, we celebrate the human spirit, the spirit of Anzac. We will remember them.”

Horsham leaders also hosted a march from the RSL to the cenotaph and a commemorative service at 11am.

Council invests in housing plan

A

rarat Rural City Council has developed a housing plan and will seek partnerships with major investors to solve accommodation shortages affecting the rural city’s ability to attract workers.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison has developed a model to build up to 30 two and three-bedroom dwellings to provide more housing options in Ararat.

Dr Harrison said the Ararat Worker Housing Transition Project aimed to secure housing for up to 45 workers annually.

“Built entirely for the purpose of providing worker accommodation for local industry, the project creates quality transitional housing, allowing new workers to move to Ararat to fill local skills shortages,” he said.

Dr Harrison said there was a ‘critical need’ to attract new housing developments to keep pace with employment demand.

“Local housing affordability is extremely attractive for first-home owners and families and another great thing Ararat has to offer, along with fantastic employment opportunities and a rural lifestyle,” he said.

“However, due to the low median sale price point for houses, this is a disincentive for developers, with development costs close to achievable sale prices.

“The project aims to plug this gap by going out to market with a new model offering opportunities for partnerships with the council and industry such as exploring a long-term rental guarantee to ensure project viability is secured.”

The council is seeking further funding from the State Government to support trunk infrastructure connections of water and wastewater connections to greenfield development sites in Ararat.

Dr Harrison said although the unemployment rate was at a two-year low at 3.2 percent, supply of housing stock was crucial to solve staff shortages in Ararat industries.

“That’s virtually full employment and two percent lower than the 5.2 percent unemployment rate we had prior to the health crisis in December 2019,” he said.

“While this is an enviable problem to have, when we have local industry that is investing millions in plant and equipment and securing new supply contracts, they need to be able to attract workers to fill the jobs available.”

Digital upgrade for Halls Gap People living in Halls Gap are set for improved telecommunications as part of upgrades worth $90-million across regional Australia.

Member for Wannon Dan Tehan said Halls Gap, as well as Gazette and Timboon in his electorate, could look forward to

improvements as part of a Regional Connectivity Program.

“The projects in Halls Gap, Gazette and Timboon will provide people in those communities with access to improved broadband services and data, delivering fast, affordable and reliable connectivity,” he said.

New venue for music eisteddfod Entries are now open for the 2021 Wimmera Music Eisteddfod, which has a new home this year.

The popular event went into hiatus last year due to COVID-19 lockdowns.

Organisers have been working hard to resume the eisteddfod, which now boasts new ‘innovative’ sections and a new website.

Committee member Venetia Elbourne-Hobbs said this year’s event, from July 22 to 24, would be at Horsham Church of Christ for the first time.

“Without the option of Wesley Performing Arts Centre, where the eisteddfod has traditionally been, there is no other econom-

ically viable venue that suits the eisteddfod’s needs at this time,” she said.

“The committee is really looking forward to presenting the eisteddfod in this beautiful and functional venue.

“We have multiple breakout spaces for competitors to warmup in, catering and coffee facilities and a stunning auditorium space for our audience.”

Mrs Elbourne-Hobbs said Wimmera Music Eisteddfod aimed to break down some of the stereotypes surrounding eisteddfods.

“Traditionally eisteddfods have been seen as scary; a little starchy perhaps,” she said.

“We aim to create a very welcoming environment, where competitors of all ages and skills feel that they belong.

“It is a competition and competitors will be critiqued, but it’s about giving people an opportunity to perform and just have a go.

“If you love to play, sing, recite or perform as part of a group, then there’s a place for you in our program.”

Entries close on May 31.

he Emergency Services Foundation will present its Mental Health Matters program for emergency service volunteers at Horsham Town Hall on Sunday.

The one-day workshop event is designed for emergency service volunteers to bring together and support volunteers from across the sector.

The program is open to people from organisations such as Country Fire Authority, State Emergency Service, Ambulance Victoria, St John Ambulance, Red Cross, Life Saving, Victorian Council of Churches Emergency Ministry and others from across the Wimmera.

Mental-health professionals from OzHelp will lead the interactive workshop alongside volunteers who will share their experiences of mental-health struggles in the hope of reducing stigma.

The program is designed to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the many factors that influence mental health and wellbeing and how to apply this understanding in caring for themselves and colleagues in volunteer team environments.

Emergency Services Foundation chief executive Siusan MacKenzie said one in five Australians reported having some sort of mental-health condition.

“Gone are the days when there is any shame in putting your hand up for help. I encourage people to take this opportunity to understand how we can protect our wellbeing,” she said.

The hope is that participants will leave the

workshop able to recognise early indicators of distress in themselves; recognise early indicators of distress in colleagues; have more confidence in being able to check in about mental health and wellbeing concerns with colleagues; recognise factors that contribute to stress; knowing where to access mental-health support and resources; and knowing how leaders can support the mental health and wellbeing of a team.

Grampians assistant chief fire officer Stephen Walls said he was pleased to see the program on offer in the region.

“These workshops are for every emergency service volunteer,” he said.

“We all need to be able to recognise the signs and symptoms of distress so we can be there to support our mates and family when they need us – even though they may not recognise they need help.”

The workshop is free of charge, fully catered and all emergency-service volunteers are welcome to attend and bring a partner or friend.

Action-packed day for launch O

fficials will open a multi-milliondollar multipurpose clubroom development at Stawell’s North Park during Horsham District Football Netball League action on Saturday.

The project was jointly funded by a $700,000 State Government contribution, $500,000 from Sport Australia, $2-million from Northern Grampians Shire Council and $150,000 from CKS Swifts Football Netball Club.

Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster and Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson will open the redevelopment at 12.10pm.

Throughout the day, Swifts will host football and netball matches against Pimpinio.

Cr Emerson invited the community to attend the opening and ribbon cutting ceremony, at the main doors of the centre overlooking the oval.

The multi-sport clubrooms development includes female-friendly and unisex change rooms, as well as other public amenities and a social space.

Community members attended a walkthrough of the new building with council representatives on April 16, with project leaders outlining a timeline of final external works, primarily signs, landscaping and minor roadworks.

Cr Emerson said leaders also discussed venue hire pricing and booking procedures, along with the process to formally name the building.

He said he was looking forward to the official opening.

“The North Park Multipurpose Sporting Facility project would not have been possi-

ble without very generous financial support from the state and federal governments and the incredible donations and fundraising by the community and Swifts Football Netball Club,” he said.

“I am very pleased to see this sporting facility project come to fruition and for our community to be able to celebrate its opening during a Swifts home game makes it even more fitting and special.”

North Park is home to Swifts Football Netball Club, Grampians Cricket Association, Interchurch Netball Association, amateur athletics, Little Athletics and Stawell Country Fire Authority.

Cr Emerson said community members could call the council’s customer service department on 5358 8700 to book a function at the centre.

He said there was already plenty of excitement surrounding the potential of the region’s new asset.

“The response from the community during the walk-through was tremendous,” he said.

In addition to attending the opening, the community can have a say about a new name for the building.

The council will run a poll and adopt the community’s preferred name at a June council meeting.

People can visit www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/ Have-Your-Say/North-Park-MultipurposeSporting-Facility-Name-Poll to complete the poll online.

Paper copies are available at the council’s customer service office in Main Street.

TAILS WAGGING: Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong and Bentley enjoy a new off-leash dog park in the municipality.

Off-leash dog park a win for all Tails are now wagging at a new off-leash dog park in Ararat.

The park is designed to promote safe play and bonding for dog owners within the municipality, allowing healthy social interaction between pooches.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the area presented an opportunity to engage in playful exercise and training for active dogs, with a fenced area enabling owners to ‘responsibly allow a free range of activities’.

Dr Harrison said the council was able to establish the park thanks to $85,439 from the State Government’s Building Works program.

“Boasting 1750 square meters of open space, the park includes

some fantastic play equipment for active pooches to run free,” he said.

“As our region continues to grow, we’re making sure residents and their pooches have easy access to open green space to exercise, socialise and enjoy the outdoors.

“The construction and delivery of community infrastructure projects like this have also kept people in jobs, supporting a number of local firms in the construction industry.”

Dog owners who require bonding and obedience training for their pets can make use of the skills playground, featuring a ramp, tunnel and poles arranged in a course.

There are bins and dog bags

available, and several water bowls around the perimeter.

“Dog owners are encouraged to prevent messy moments for the community by picking up after their four-legged friends,” Dr Harrison said.

The new off-leash dog park is among ‘a trio of community facilities’ along an active corridor between Vincent and Queen streets.

The corridor also includes a half-court and bouldering wall, nearing completion.

“It’s a great addition to the parks precinct, supporting active recreation for young people and families and further enhances the region’s liveability,” Dr Harrison said.

Council testing new road sealer The Weekly Advertiser

H

orsham Rural City Council leaders hope a new gravel-sealing product being trialled at Lower Norton could lead to significant improvements in the condition of rural roads.

Council strategic asset management manager and civil engineer Krishna Shrestha has piloted successful trials of ‘Otta’ seals at Narrandera Shire in New South Wales.

Relatively unknown in Australia, Otta seals are a cost-efficient road treatment best suited for rural roads where traffic volumes are less than 200 vehicles a day.

The process involves placing and rolling graded gravel or crushed rock on a relatively thick film of soft bitumen.

Initially, the surface does not look dissimilar to a typical gravel road, but over time, the bitumen works its way upwards through the aggregate and turns into a smooth, interlocked bituminous premix.

The name ‘Otta’ comes from Otta Valley in Norway, where Norwegian Road Research Laboratory developed the treatment.

Now the Horsham council is putting the Otta seals, adapted for Australian conditions, to the test south of Horsham at

Plush Hannans Road. Otta sealing on the road will start next month and be subject to monitoring for a year to determine its performance under Wimmera weather and traffic conditions.

Mr Shrestha is anticipating the same positive results as in Narranderra, where the road surface has outlasted traditional and more expensive pavement methods.

“We learnt that the varying sizes of rock protected the bitumen from direct solar radiation and associated oxidation and embrittlement. Because of graded aggregate used on sealing, there was also greater flexibility and therefore longevity,” he said.

Responsible

The Horsham council is responsible for inspecting, maintaining and repairing 1059 kilometres of sealed roads.

But it is the 1830 kilometres of unsealed roads throughout the municipality where it could develop major cost efficiencies.

Mr Shrestha said constantly applying gravel to unsealed roads was an increasingly costly exercise.

“Recent financial analysis suggests that Otta sealing an existing unsealed road will reduce the lifecycle cost by half as

the need for continuous resheeting will be curtailed,” he said.

Apart from funding from state and federal governments, the council is spending $3.845-million on rural roads in this year’s budget.

“If we can upgrade many of our gravel roads to sealed roads using this new method, it will help us minimise the maintenance costs over the longer term,” Mr Shrestha said.

“We are using locally available graded gravel which meets the required plasticity index, gradation and hardness standards.

This reduces cost of material and material haulage cost due to reduced travel distance.

“There will be additional cost reduction due to simplified installation and ability by local contractors to install this type of sealing.”

Because of its lower specification, this type of aggregate is not used on roads that carry thousands of vehicles a day.

“But that concern is irrelevant for a high number of our local roads. We have many which see as few as 10 vehicles a day and yet have to be maintained at the cost of our ratepayers,” Mr Shrestha said.

New-look Coles store opens opportunities The official opening of a new-look Coles Horsham supermarket on Thursday next week will also reflect 35 new jobs the upgrade project has created.

The store has undergone a major facelift, from its redeveloped car park to a new layout and services.

New features include a scratch bakery, where bakers will be flipping flatbread while customers shop, and a redeveloped delicatessen, which will provide customers with a greater range of seafood and a selection of cheeses than in the past.

Coles Horsham is the first Coles supermarket in the region to feature a premium

DC coffee station, providing a mochi, mini gelato and macaron bar and there is also a pick-and-mix bar for dog enthusiasts.

Coles Horsham store manager Matthew Kulhan said a new market-style produce department was sure to impress.

He said the department was filled with fresh fruit and vegetables and a large range of ready-to-go convenience meals – including salads, curries and lasagnes – for easy dinners or take-home snacks.

He added that Coles Online was also available, where customers could order their groceries online and save time by picking them up from new dedicated

‘Click and Collect’ bays. The store has also ramped up its commitment to the Horsham community, donating $5000 to Horsham College to help fund a Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden at the school.

Mr Kulhan said he was particularly pleased the redevelopment had included a boost to Horsham employment opportunities.

“After months of construction, we’re excited to be launching our new-look store to Horsham residents and creating dozens of new local jobs in the process,” he said.

How to retire richer

W

hile it’s easy to be discouraged by superannuation and fear you will never have enough money saved to stop working, remember even a modest superannuation balance can make a big difference in retirement.

For every $100,000 saved in superannuation, you can expect these funds to generate a return of six percent or $6000, a year.

When this is paid out as a pension, it equates to $500 a month tax-free.

Of course, this is doubled if both you and your partner have $100,000 each in super.

Depending on your overall financial situation, this can be paid in addition to you receiving a full-age pension.

Here are six super points to help you maximise your super balance:

Consolidate accounts

Consolidate all your superannuation accounts into one account best suited to your needs.

The Australian Tax Office says some six-million Australians have multiple super accounts, wasting millions of dollars in duplicated charges.

These unnecessary fees will needlessly erode your super balance.

Consolidating multiple accounts is easy. Simply log on to the ATO’s website and with one click, choose one account to accept all your funds.

This alone could save you thousands of dollars.

Review contributions

Review your super contributions.

a low income or not working, you may be able to claim a tax offset of up to $540 a year.

FINANCE

focus

Long-term savings

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

Check your employer is contributing the right amount to superannuation from your wages each week.

If you believe there is a shortfall, contact the ATO to investigate on your behalf.

Take advantage

Take advantage of co-contributions.

If you earn less than $52,697 a year, consider making additional after-tax super contributions to take advantage of a matching contribution from the government, called a co-contribution.

Under this scheme, you can contribute up to $1000 of after-tax money and receive a maximum co-contribution of $500.

This is a 50 percent return on your investment. The government will determine how much you are entitled to when you lodge your tax return, and if you are eligible, then pay the co-contribution directly to your fund.

You don’t need to do anything more than make the original contribution from after-tax savings.

Spouse contributions

Benefit from spouse contributions.

Review whether you can benefit from making additional contributions to your partner’s super.

If you do make contributions to your partner’s super and they are on

Contribute any long-term savings to super. There are rules concerning how much you can contribute to super, and when, but any savings put into superannuation will be held within a tax-benign environment.

While your fund is in accumulation mode, these assets’ income and capital growth are taxed at 15 percent, rather than your marginal tax rate.

Once you start receiving an income stream, these assets are held within a tax-free environment, making your superannuation your own personal tax haven.

Seek guidance Seek professional guidance. Of course, there are a raft of rules around superannuation of which you must be aware.

To maximise your retirement nest egg, be sure to seek expert advice from a financial adviser or qualified accountant.

While it is never too early to start making additional contributions to super, it is also never too late.

Even small steps towards the end of your working life can and will make a difference to the way you live in retirement.

FRESH FACES: West Wimmera Shire Council’s newly appointed chief executive David Bezuidenhout with wife Carine.

Chief executive appointed West Wimmera Shire Council has appointed David Bezuidenhout as its chief executive for a five-year term.

West Wimmera mayor Bruce Meyer welcomed Mr Bezuidenhout to the role in a confidential council meeting late last week.

Mr Bezuidenhout will start at the council on May 10.

Cr Meyer also thanked outgoing interim chief executive Paul Brumby for his service.

Mr Bezuidenhout was born in South Africa and underwent national service directly after school, where he was commissioned as an officer in the South African National Defence Force Reserves.

He was involved in warfare in Angola.

Mr Bezuidenhout also worked as a lawyer in a private practice in South Africa for 16 years before migrating to Australia in 2006.

This led him into senior project and general management roles.

A move to the public sector in 2015 led Mr Bezuidenhout to become a project leader with Gladstone Area Water Board and later chief executive of Cloncurry Shire Council in north-west Queensland.

Mr Bezuidenhout and wife Carine both grew up in rural areas and their families were involved in agriculture.

Cr Meyer said this background had provided Mr Bezuidenhout with a deeper understanding of challenges rural communities faced.

Carbon-neutral COVID-19 options on table VACCINATIONS

A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera farmer believes the introduction of an Australia-first $200-million bioenergy project will be a major step forward for regional farmers to achieve carbonneutral farming operations.

Langi-Logan farmer Andy Laidlaw, who runs a broadacre cropping operation south of Ararat, was among regional grain producers who met with project leaders to discuss partnership options for a Grampians Gas plant proposal at Ararat.

The Pacific Heat and Power and Ararat Rural City Council concept will use district straw and stubble to create energy. It involves transforming the agricultural waste into one or multiple renewablepower sources.

Company managing director Dr Scott Grierson met with farmers and regional leaders yesterday to assess the rural city’s potential of becoming the benchmark for large-scale agricultural bio-energy production.

Initial modelling from the company had shown strong potential for the project to support jobs and provide additional revenue for farmers.

Mr Laidlaw said the project represented a major value-adding opportunity for the region’s agriculture sector while reducing the industry’s carbon footprint.

“Boosting employment for the region as well as being environmentally sustainable with renewable energy on that scale can only be good for our region,” he said.

“All producers, no matter how big or small they are could contribute waste to this type of facility.”

Farmers from across western Victoria including Ararat, Horsham and Nhill have committed more than 58,000 tonnes of straw and stubble via an expression-of-interest process.

Mr Laidlaw said a major benefit for primary producers harvesting straw and stubble for this project was moving away from a need to burn stubble.

“The big advantage with no stubble burning in the long-term is improvement of soil health as well as taking away that risk of bushfire,” he said.

“By removing the burning we can also improve the timing in our operations so we can sow earlier.”

Farming and manufacturing were among key sectors named in the Federal Government’s renewed push to achieve net-zero carbon emissions.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison made the announcement ahead of a global summit last week.

Mr Laidlaw said the prospects of a bioenergy facility in Ararat would help farmers realise the government’s targets.

“We’ve got to progress as much as we can to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly in the long term,” he said.

“This project is pushing towards what could be a great thing for the whole country – it certainly helps the agriculture industry push closer to becoming carbon-neutral.”

Cost concern

Mr Laidlaw said he was, however, concerned with costs involved in harvesting and transporting straw and stubble.

“We’ll have to windrow it, bail it, then cart it off to the power plant. There could potentially be quite a lot of work and costs involved in it,” he said.

“Ultimately, we don’t want to be working for nothing. That might be the hardest part of the project.

“The scale of operation they’re talking about could also mean a lot of trucks on the road transporting the straw and stubble to the site.”

Project leaders have highlighted the concept was still in its infancy.

Dr Grierson said public forums such as yesterday’s meeting with key stakeholders would be a key way forward to bring the project to life.

He said there were ways around costs involved in travel and harvest costs of straw and stubble.

“If a farmer doesn’t want those hassles, we can contract people in to do that job,” he said.

“The challenge all round is how you manage a project of this nature for the benefit of everyone.

“The reality is at some point in the conceivable future we will get back into lean times – we need to build a system that can benefit farmers year in, year out.”

Dr Grierson said people could find out more about the project and register an expression of interest to supply cereal straw online at www. grampiansgas.com.au.

Court rejects farmers’ appeal A

four-year legal battle between the State Government and Ararat district farmers over a Western Highway duplication project has ended after a court rejection of the farmers’ appeal.

Sheep farmers MairiAnne and Iona Mackenzie have been ordered to pay VicRoads and the State Government’s court costs after losing the battle.

The sisters lost a Supreme Court case in June 2020, where they challenged the State Government’s decision-making process behind the Western Highway’s altered route between Beaufort and Ararat.

Late last week, the Court of Appeal refused the Mackenzies permission to challenge the ruling.

The altered route required the compulsory acquisition of some of the Mackenzies’ land and the removal of several trees Traditional Owners consider culturally significant.

The sisters claimed ministerial decisions and environmental assessments incorrectly estimated the number of large trees that would be affected by the project.

The sisters said the incorrect estimate invalidated the decisions and it was unlawful for the project to continue with a 12.5-kilometre section of works between Buangor and Ararat.

The amount of money the sisters must pay was not disclosed.

Musical royalty in Horsham Legendary songwriter, ‘voice of the Stolen Generations’ and 2020 Victorian Australian of the Year Archie Roach AM will perform at Horsham Town Hall on May 21.

The performance will be part of Roach’s Tell Me Why and final tour.

The concert will celebrate his eponymous memoir and latest album.

Promotors said audiences would hear songs from his back catalogue alongside influential music from his youth, along with three new autobiographical songs written since completing his memoir.

Thirty years after the release of Roach’s two-time ARIA Award-winning debut album Charcoal Lane, Tell Me Why is an account of resilience, strength of spirit, and love.

Through stories of the iconic songwriter and activist’s life, the show presents an intimate, and often confronting musical journey.

Keep Original Route Supporters, KORS, a community group opposing the project route, said in a statement the Court of Appeal’s decision was ‘disappointing’.

“This is a loss for all Victorians. The court has determined it is not essential for an Environmental Effects Statement to be valid for the minister to make a decision to approve a project,” the statement showed.

“This affects all projects subjected to an EES. “The decision proves how outdated the Environment Effects Act is.

“Written 43 years ago when climate change and biodiversity issues were not discussed – the Act does not meet the expectations of today’s community for real environment protection.

“The EES is a process that cannot be relied upon to protect the environment and is a fraud on the community. The minister has total discretion in decision-making. This is not a transparent and independent process.”

The statement showed KORS would continue to advocate for greater environmental protection laws and processes.

Djab Wurrung elder Marjorie Thorpe is challenging the duplication works in a separate Supreme Court case, which is set to return to court in May.

Albacutya silo to join popular trail A

rtwork has started on an Albacutya silo, 10 kilometres north of Rainbow, marking the first silo in Hindmarsh Shire to join the region’s Silo Art Trail.

Melbourne artist Kit Bennett is working on the Albacutya project with expectations he will take three to four weeks to complete the work.

A Melbourne COVID-19 travel lockdown delayed the project but Bennett has developed themes and designs celebrating women and family on farms.

Drawing inspiration from the silo owner and incorporating ties back to Rainbow district, the artwork will present ‘a fun, quirky, colourful and exciting style that will attract the interest of both young and old, and the family-touring market’.

It will also present a significant point of difference to existing Silo Art Trail artworks.

Renowned street and mural art company Juddy Roller, in partnership with Yarriambiack Shire, originally curated the Silo Art Trail in 2016.

Since 2018, Wimmera Mallee Tourism has worked closely with Yarriambiack Shire Council to manage the expansion of the trail across the Wimmera-Mallee.

Silo Art Trail sites in Buloke and West Wimmera shires are the latest to join the trail through State Government Pick My Project funding.

The Albacutya silo site is strategically positioned to establish a tourism-route link between Yarriambiack and West Wimmera silos.

The State Government has funded the Albacutya project as part of a Wimmera Southern Mallee Destination Management Plan and via leveraging through Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership.

Hindmarsh Shire Council is funding viewing-site works.

Through the establishment of artwork at Albacutya silo, Juddy Roller has continued to uphold its original Silo Art Trail concept of developing the world’s largest outdoor art gallery by using Wimmera-Mallee grain silos as canvases.

The trail features the large-scale work of national and international mural artists to create unique large scale artworks.

New section

Juddy Roller managing director Shaun Hassock and Wimmera Mallee Tourism representatives identified the Albacutya silo as the start of a new section of the trail.

A main point of difference between the Silo Art Trail art work and many of other community murals commissioned by communities across the country is that the Wimmera Mallee Silo Art Trail leaves artwork design to the discretion of the artist.

This is designed to allow for the artist to explore freedom of expression.

Visitors can watch the Albacutya artwork under development from a viewing area 50 metres to the east of the silo. Access to the silo site is prohibited.

Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said the council was excited that Hindmarsh was finally on the Silo Art Trail.

“This new artwork will begin to create the important tourist link from the original Yarriambiack silo art through to the recently completed works in West Wimmera Shire,” he said.

“It will bring increased tourism and visitors to our shire townships while increasing interest and marketing opportunities for the entire region-wide Silo Art Trail.”

FRONTLINE DEFENCE: Switch operator Kim Brooks was one of more than 100 Wimmera Health Care Group team members under the age of 50 to receive her first dose of Pfizer vaccine. Pictured administering her vaccine is Carolyn Baird, who came out of retirement to help the vaccine team with the roll-out. Mrs Baird said she had always been passionate about immunisation throughout her nursing career and was keen to return to help protect the team. Wimmera Health Care Group’s first supply of Pfizer vaccine arrived on Thursday.

Organisation leaders expect another supply this week to continue vaccinating under-50 members of the health-group’s frontline team.

Climate change website refreshed CSIRO research leaders will walk Australians through how to navigate a new website that provides up-to-date information about future climate projections.

A Climate Change in Australia website, originally launched in 2015-16, has been refreshed to improve accessibility and searchability of the climate projections information.

CSIRO research team leader John Clarke and research scientist Michael Grose will run through the refreshed website in a free webinar on May 6.

The scientists will highlight improvements and new information as well as touch on popular tools and content.

Project leaders said the refresh aimed to ensure the climate change projections infor-

mation, data and tools were more easily accessible to help decision-makers better understand their current and future climate risks.

People can email climate. webinars@agriculture.vic.gov. au for more information about these webinars, including assistance joining the online sessions.

Mixed views on land prices A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera farmer and industry leader says a sharp rise in agricultural land prices will prove to be a major hurdle for new players looking to enter the farmindustry sector.

The median price for agricultural land in the Wimmera-Mallee is at an all-time high, while interest rates are down.

Last month, grazing land at Ararat sold for more than $23,000 a hectare.

Earlier this year land at Miga Lake sold for more than $19,000 a hectare and a Kaniva farm for $16,500 a hectare.

National Farmers Federation vice-president David Jochinke said high prices in the Wimmera-Mallee were part of a broader trend, noting agricultural land prices had increased 40 percent in the past six years.

He said the steep rise was a positive boost for current landowners and proved there was confidence in the industry from the financial sector.

“I’ve never seen this in my farming career,” he said.

“I feel like this is being fuelled by low interest rates and willingness of the financial sector to look at agricultural land as a solid asset for lenders, where there’s not as much risk compared with other assets.

“Additionally, I feel the relatively two good seasons we’ve had back-toback have made the market quite hot.”

“I’ve never seen this in my farming career. I feel like this is being fuelled by low interest rates and willingness of the financial sector to look at agricultural land as a solid asset for lenders”

– David Jochinke

However, Mr Jochinke said prices rising every year would likely make it difficult for small players to expand their farming enterprises.

“When you see a 20 to 30 percent increase on $100, that’s manageable, but when you’re talking that same increase on $10,000 it makes it challenging,” he said.

“If people are looking to expand or get into agriculture, this will make it a lot more challenging to get their first block of dirt.”

Mr Jochinke said rising prices represented a possible shift away from historical trends in the agricultural land market.

“What does the farm business look like into the future? Will farmers own all their own land or will there be more tenant farmers like what we see overseas?” he said.

“Previous generations who have built farms to be where they are today, I doubt that will be the same model in the future if prices continue to soar.”

Chrysanthemums for Mother’s Day A Horsham group dedicated to raising money for a fight against cancer will again sell chrysanthemums for Mother’s Day in Horsham Plaza.

The group will start selling the bunches of flowers for $10 tomorrow and on Friday and do the same on May 6 and 7 before Mother’s Day on May 9.

About 30 volunteers are involved in the informal project, which in the past 10 years has raised more than $10,000.

Group spokesperson Enid King said different people picked, stripped the bunched the flowers.

“It’s basically a friends group that has expanded over time and we usu-

ally make more than $2000 every year,” she said.

Money from this year’s fundraising effort will go to Ballarat’s Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute led

by Professor George Kannourakis.

The Horsham group previously raised money for Wimmera Cancer Centre.

Poultry club prepares for next auction Wimmera Poultry Club’s next major event will be a Breeders Auction on September 18.

The club, fresh from an April auction at its Horsham Showground headquarters, expects breeders to offer high-quality birds rarely available for sale at the September event.

Club secretary Jeanette Fenton said

this month’s auction attracted a ‘very good’ turnout of enthusiasts with many people intent on taking part in the auction and others just for a look.

“We had 87 people register to buy and we had 140 pens of poultry filled with a great range of different and unusual breeds,” she said.

“These ranged from Appenzellers

and Araucanas to Sussex and yokohamas, call ducks to Indian runners, plus a Chinese goose and a turkey.

“The highest price was for a trio of brown leghorns for $255, followed by a pair of silver spangled Hamburg pullets at $200 and a trio of eight-monthold pekins for $190. Many pens exceeded $100.”

BUSY: Mockinya farmer Andrew Bell, who runs sheep and a small cropping operation south of Horsham, has been busy sowing clover seeds for hay to feed his livestock.

Dry start to cropping D

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ry weather affecting many parts of the Wimmera-Mallee has left farmers hanging on for signs of an autumn break to make a start to their winter-cropping programs.

Parts of the Wimmera and southern Mallee have received less than five millimetres of rain across the month of April.

Horsham has recorded 4.6mm, compared with 56mm last year. Edenhope has recorded 15mm, Hopetoun 3mm and Stawell 7mm.

South-eastern parts of the region have fared slightly better, with Ararat recording 23.4mm.

Mockinya farmer Andrew Bell, who runs sheep and a small cropping operation south of Horsham, has been busy sowing clover seeds for hay to feed his livestock.

He said his property had received 50mm of rain since January this year – half the rainfall he received in the same period last year.

“Conditions have been terribly dry, one of the driest starts to the year I can remember,” he said.

“Everything is being dry sown, and it’s been very dusty and quite hard on the equipment.

“The wettest month we’ve had this year was probably January, which isn’t particularly beneficial.”

Mr Bell said he was having to hand feed his sheep due to the dry weather.

“That takes a lot of time and expense,” he said.

Wednesday, April 28, 2021

“But, we have a lot of hay and grain on hand still so we can maintain the condition of the sheep.

“But cropping wise, we’ll just put in crops that we know can sit in the ground and not have to grow for a month if it doesn’t rain. We’re staying positive – the autumn break is traditionally not until the middle of May.” Murra Wurra grain farmer David Jochinke said dry conditions persisting throughout summer and autumn presented challenges for sowing season across the region.

“Our conditions are very dry compared with the central and eastern sides of the state,” he said.

“It was also an extremely dry summer, and our autumn break doesn’t look like it’s coming anytime soon.”

Familiar territory

Mr Jochinke said despite favourable rain in recent seasons, Wimmera-Mallee farmers were all too familiar with drier conditions they were facing.

“These are conditions we’ve faced before,” he said.

“What we’ve always found is, while you never put too many eggs in one basket, you can sow quite comfortably in dry conditions.”

Mr Jochinke said farmers were more dependent on winter and spring rain.

“A lot of the time the outcome of cropping usually comes down to what spring does for us,” he said.

“I would rather have a strong spring than autumn if I had to choose between the two.

“In saying that, we still have a bit to go before autumn finishes.”

Mr Jochinke said he was hoping to make a start on his cropping program before the end of April.

“We’re just doing the final touches to get our cropping program underway. We’re probably slightly behind where we would like to be,” he said.

“We’re going to start soon, we’re hoping to get canola and beans in.

“We’ll be keeping our program fairly untouched, but I’m probably looking at putting in a touch more canola and a bit more wheat over barley than I usually would.”

Mr Jochinke said the Wimmera-Mallee had largely ‘missed out’ on heavy rains associated with a La Niña weather pattern that had been affecting much of Australia’s eastern seaboard since September.

“Other areas in the nation were hit pretty hard with heavy rain due to the La Niña weather pattern, but we’ve seen barely any of that in the west and north-west of Victoria,” he said.

“Most of the Wimmera and southern Mallee has gone through a dry autumn.

“You’ve only got to get to central Victoria, and they’ve had a substantial amount more than us.”

The Bureau of Meteorology three-month climate outlook overview reported May to July rain would likely be below average for parts of south-east Australia.

The bureau also reported an El Niño– Southern Oscillation climate driver remained in a neutral signal, similar with most other climate drivers.

Agriculture Victoria is reminding producers and contractors it is a requirement to administer a registered pain-relief product when mulesing lambs.

Livestock welfare compliance program manager Rachael Holmes said the requirement to use a registered pain-relief product ensured better animal welfare outcomes for Victorian sheep.

The provisions came into effect from July 1 last year, as part of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Regulations 2019.

Dr Holmes said only Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority-registered pain-relief products could be used for mulesing sheep.

“As with any agricultural or veterinary chemicals used on farm, producers should keep records of the pain-relieving products used,” she said.

“Details should include the product trade name, species-location of animals, identification numbers-description, the date

the treatment has been applied and the dose rate used.”

Dr Holmes said there were several pain-relief products available to producers for mulesing and marking lambs.

“Producers need to be aware of advantages and disadvantages of the available pain-relief products and the type of pain they are targeting and consider the best fit for their operation to achieve the desired results,” she said.

“Producers are best to discuss this with their veterinarian.

The use of pain-relief products during the mulesing-marking procedure ensures Victoria’s sheep industry is operating best-practice welfare and supports the sustainability of our industry.”

Victoria’s Code of Accepted Farming Practice for the Welfare of Sheep was also available on Agriculture Victoria’s website, agri culture.vic.gov.au.

Georgia’s scholarship boost G

BY DYLAN DE JONG

eorgia Douglas is encouraging young farmers to pursue scholarship opportunities to advance their career in agriculture.

The sheep farmer, from Stuart Mill south of St Arnaud, is among 13 recipients of a State Government Young Farmers Scholarship.

The program provides $7300 for a Certificate IV in Wool Classing at Longerenong College and an on-farm pregnancy-scanning program.

The course is helping Ms Douglas, 24, improve the performance of flocks through better management of sheep and pregnant ewes.

She said her choice also gave her an option to earn an off-farm income and perform on-farm roles that were typically outsourced.

“I hope to gain on-farm skills to continue benefitting at home,” she said.

“It will also give me skills I can use off farm as well with local farmers who need classers.”

Ms Douglas said the course would expand on skills she needed for a long-term career in agriculture.

“I grew up on the farm – as long I can remember I’ve been involved in the farm,” she said.

“From when I was kinder age, I remember going out in the ute with dad and helping to feed sheep.

“As soon as I finished year 12, I

jumped into an ag-science degree at La Trobe University.

“The scholarship program is now giving me a more hands-on experience at Longerenong College.”

Ms Douglas said the program would aid her professional development and increase industry opportunities.

“There’s so much to benefit from within the ag sector,” she said.

“There’s such a wide diversity of people you get to work with and then within the sector there’s so many different directions you can go professionally.”

Have a go

Ms Douglas encouraged young farmers to apply for the program in 2021.

“I applied thinking I’ll do my best, but uncertain that I would be successful,” she said.

“Even if you don’t think you’ll get it, chuck something in, you never know.

“You get to meet such a diverse range of people through the program in the ag sector that you otherwise wouldn’t rub shoulders with.”

In its seventh year, the program has awarded 76 scholarships to young farmers, supporting them with up to $10,000 to boost their skills and careers.

Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas, who recognised the 2020 scholarship recipients at a ceremony

BUILDING KNOWLEDGE: Stuart Mill sheep farmer Georgia Douglas is seeing major benefits from a scholarship program she applied for last year. in Melbourne last week, said young farmers played an important role in Victoria’s $15.9-billion agriculture sector.

“Young farmers are the future of Victoria’s agriculture industry and we are continuing to support them to develop the world-leading skills this

state has a global reputation for,” she said.

People can visit agriculture.vic. gov.au/youngfarmers for more information about 2021 Young Farmers Scholarships and to apply.

Vehicle rego backlash 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Victoria’s peak farming group believes an Austroads proposal to ‘dramatically’ increase heavy-vehicle registrations for ageing vehicles is unrealistic and will hurt farmers and small businesses.

Victorian Farmers Federation is ‘strongly urging’ the State Government to not adopt the recommendation.

President Emma Germano said while many farmers were supportive of the move to more environmentally friendly and safer trucks, the proposal to increase heavy-vehicle registrations on older vehicles was inequitable.

“This proposal will disproportionately impact farmers who often use trucks to travel short distances and only at certain times of the year, such as harvest,” she said.

“In some cases we could see some trucks costing up to $20,000 to register. Austroads has failed to understand the far reaching impacts of this proposal for truck owners.

“Put simply, the reality is this would make heavy-vehicle ownership unaffordable for many small businesses and farmers and will greatly impact transport costs for farm businesses.”

Ms Germano urged the State Government to consider other options to modernise the state’s heavy vehicle fleet, such as financial incentives.

Community grants available 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Ararat municipal leaders are encouraging community groups, clubs and organisations to apply for a $95,000 community support program designed to aid financial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the last round of a Community Support Grants program, Ararat Rural City Council provided up to $5000 for groups, including Moyston Sheep Dog Trials organisers, who used the money to build all-abilities seating at Moyston Recreation Reserve.

Lake Bolac Eel Festival organisers also used grant money to launch a Harmony Day concert.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the grants, offered multiple times each year, enhanced Ararat events and increased participation in sport and recreation across the region.

“Funding support from council recognises the vital role local groups and clubs have on community life in rural towns,” he said.

“Strong communities are the lifeblood of our region and what makes Ararat a great place to live.”

Dr Harrison said the program helped community groups bring new people to experience the region and gave people an opportunity to socialise and enjoy rural traditions such as the sheep-dog trials.

F

armers who have suffered from the impact of drought will have another 12 months to apply for funding from a national Onfarm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme.

Farmers now have until June 2022 to apply for money to help them build infrastructure to make their properties drought resilient.

The Federal Government provided $50-million for the scheme in its 202021 Budget. Member for Mallee Anne Webster said the extension was a win for farmers across her electorate.

“It was a hard fight, but now means funds will be available for another year,” she said.

“The Coalition government has listened to Mallee farmers and recognised the importance of the scheme by doubling the federal funding available as well as extending the timeframes.

“This is great news for drought-affected farmers because these rebates empower farmers to take proactive steps to ensure their properties remain drought resilient.

“This has been a hugely popular program that’s made a real difference for thousands of Australian farmers facing the devastating challenges of drought.

REGIONAL BOOST: Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong with Moyston Sheep Dog Trials co-organiser Max McLean at Moyston Recreation Reserve.

“The Moyston Sheep Dog Trials is a great event that embodies the qualities we want to foster in our region and has a rich 93-year history,” he said.

“The event started from a bet of whose working dog was better at the local pub in 1927 and has grown to attract sheepdogs and their owners from across Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and NSW. “Grant funding from the council helped organisers cover the costs

associated with the event, such as catering, venue hire and advertising.”

Dr Harrison said the council would allocate money on a two-for-one basis, meaning the council would provide two dollars for each dollar contributed by an organisation.

More information and application forms are available at the council’s office in Vincent Street or online at www.ararat.vic.gov.au.

Applications close on May 18.

“I’ve heard and seen first-hand, how drought has affected livestock producers and horticulturalists. Many have put in bores, dams and pipes to become drought resistant, and now even more farmers will get this opportunity.

“This is another example where the National party again puts farmers first in Victoria.”

Small scale

Federal Resources, Water and Northern Australia Minister Keith Pitt added the scheme could be used to fund small scale on-farm drought proofing water projects, including buying and laying pipes, installing water storage devices, such as tanks and troughs associated with stock watering and desilting dams and water bores.

“Farmers value the rebate because it helps them manage the here-and-now when it comes to keeping livestock watered and permanent plantings alive in a drought – but importantly it also improves productivity so they are better prepared for the next inevitable drought at some point in the future,” he said.

“This program is about helping farmers being drought prepared and drought resilient.”

Delivering bulk diesel to your door L

iberty Oil has a long and uniquely Australian history that started with humble beginnings in the fuel industry when it’s co-founders operated service stations in the 1970s and 80s.

In the early 2000’s, Liberty Oil began concentrating on supplying fuel to both independent service stations and wholesalers.

The company established ‘Liberty Rural’ in early 2006, allowing it to supply the best-quality fuels across regional and rural farming and business communities.

In February 2019 when Viva Energy announced its proposed acquisition of Liberty Oil Holdings, the acquisition included the ‘Liberty Rural’ operations.

Since the acquisition Liberty Rural has continued to grow, becoming a significant national supplier of fuels and Shell lubricants to customers in regional and rural markets.

Liberty Rural has developed a national network of regional fuel-storage depots and a growing network of 24-7 diesel-refueling facilities, accepting most credit cards and Shell Card.

The company’s Horsham Depot, at 93 Dimboola Road, allows for the delivery of bulk diesel to the Wimmera farming and business communities.

Located at the front of the Horsham depot, the 24-7 diesel-refueling facility allows locals, travellers and truck drivers around-the-clock access to quality diesel and Ad Blue.

FUELING UP: Ben Rochford from Liberty Rural Horsham checks the couplings on his fuel delivery truck.

New template for sheep producers A

new national framework will provide sheep producers with an opportunity to best harness opportunities and maintain industry sustainability.

Sheep Producers Australia and WoolProducers Australia have released an Australian Sheep Sustainability Framework, SSF, the first of its kind in the world.

Australian sheep industry leaders initiated framework development to demonstrate the industry’s sustainable practices, identify areas for improvement, and better communicate with customers and consumers.

The framework lists 21 priorities across four themes – caring for our sheep; enhancing the environment and climate; looking after our people, our customers and the community; and ensuring a financially resilient industry.

An industry-led sustainability steering group developed the framework after a year of consultation with stakeholders and broader community.

Sheep Producers Australia chair Chris Mirams said there were significant opportunities available to Australia’s sheep industry as a result of the world’s growing interest and demand for sustainably produced food and fibre.

“Increasing access to markets and investment, building confidence in the integrity of sheep meat and wool products, enhancing community trust and better rewarding industry are some of the opportunities we have as a result of this grow-

ing consumer interest,” he said. “The Australian Sheep Sustainability Framework has been designed and developed so our sheep industry can best harness these opportunities.”

WoolProducers Australia president Ed Storey agreed, saying with consumer trends and demand, there was an opportunity for Australia’s sheep industry to better articulate its sustainability story, with improved transparency a critical part of that success.

“To me, being transparent is the key to the Australian sheep industry seizing opportunities and maximising the benefits,” he said.

“Having this industry-led framework means we will provide an open and honest picture of our high standards of practice and performance using the most appropriate and robust data available.”

Australian Sheep Sustainability Framework Steering Group chair and Holbrook wool and prime lamb producer Professor Bruce Allworth said the industry acknowledged there were challenges linked to the many available opportunities.

“For the industry to seize these opportunities, we need to ensure we address challenges such as ensuring businesses are financially sustainable, avoiding land degradation and biodiversity loss, managing climate risk and water scarcity, meeting expectations on animal welfare, and protecting human rights in the global supply chain,” he said.

Prices likely to stay strong Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange leaders say sheep and lamb numbers at the saleyards are likely to remain high while the market maintains strong prices.

Lamb and sheep sales soared to more than 17,000 at Horsham earlier this month.

Lamb supply was at 13,403, with 4031 sheep. That number eased to 7950 lambs last week, with sheep supply falling to 2650.

Manager Paul Christopher said quality across April was mostly good, with excellent runs of trade-weighted and heavy lambs on offer.

“The market is holding up

really well considering it’s time for winter cropping,” he said.

“Around this time of year farmers usually sell their sheep so they can start cropping. A lot of farmers are starting to crop canola and hay and they want to sell sheep while they’re fetching pretty good money.”

Last week, trade-weight lambs sold to $210, with the best extra heavy weights selling to $273 a head.

This was slightly up on the previous week, where medium and heavy trade-weight lambs sold to $204 a head, with extra heavy lambs

reaching $269 a head. Mr Christopher said he expected total livestock numbers at the saleyards to remain high until mid-May. “Around this time of the year we do get one big sale because the market typically spikes and everyone tries to jump in and sell,” he said.

“We had a good sale right after Easter, where the prices were up. I don’t think we’ll get another sale that big – but we’re likely to continue to stay at about 10,000 for the next four weeks before it drops back down to about half that.”

Concerns ‘ignored’ 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

WONDERFULLY WOOLY: Horsham Wool director Jamie Nelson talks to Stawell Secondary College students about the woolbuying process, from farmer to wool store.

Hands-on farming skills

S

tawell Secondary Students enjoyed an opportunity to learn hands-on skills in the agriculture industry, with farm-industry experts teaching sheep shearing and wool grading.

Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network, CGLLEN, provided financial support for the experience through a 2021 Engage program, enabling 13 year-nine and 10 students to learn about various career paths in agriculture.

Structured workplace learning co-ordinator Nerissa Gee said the program, facilitated by Rural Industries Skills Training, RIST, involved several Wimmera industry experts.

“This was a fantastic program that was created to give young people plenty of opportunities to learn all facets of the sheep industry, from the paddock and the shed to the end point of the product,” she said.

“This program really engaged the students involved and gave them plenty of opportunities to get their hands dirty.

“A lot of them already had an interest in agriculture, but it was great to see those who’d had little exposure to the industry engage in something new that might lead to a career.”

Students spent two days at the Bibbys’ family farm at Navarre, where they got to try their hand at shearing sheep and grading wool.

On the final day of the program, students toured and networked with industry experts at Horsham Wool, Horsham Regional Art Gallery and Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange.

College year-10 co-ordinator Murray McKenzie said he was grateful to everyone involved in the program.

“Many thanks to RIST and CGLLEN for making these three days possible for our students at Stawell Secondary College, as well as the local farmers who provided the venue and sheep,” he said.

“It was a great event and there was plenty of discussion among the group regarding work experience and careers.”

Victoria’s lead farming group remains disappointed over proposed regulations governing camping on licensed water frontage.

The federation believes authorities have largely ignored ‘genuine’ concerns of landholders and the farming community.

Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germano said it was unacceptable the State Government continued to ignore the ‘very real’ fears of people who would be affected.

“There’s no stopping campers from settling in for up to 28 days as little as 100 metres from your home on licensed water frontage. It’s safe to say by then many would have overstayed their welcome,” she said.

“It’s a no-brainer that if camping is to be allowed on grazing licences, then dogs should not be allowed.

“Every livestock farmer knows the very presence of dogs will be smelt and seen by stock, causing disruption and limiting their access to water.

“We urgently need the Victorian government to take a step back and insert some

common-sense into the equation.”

The VFF is advocating that farmers should have the right to clearly mark the boundary between private and public land to manage their property.

“Clearly the regulation prohibiting the erection of signs needs to be clarified. It’s entirely appropriate for licence holders to put up signs requesting gates be kept shut, to indicate the border between private and public land and to identify biosecurity protocols,” Ms Germano said.

The VFF also wants to see a system of registration to improve accountability and help farmers with biosecurity compliance.

“The Victorian Fisheries Authority has said it is creating a purpose-built app.

We don’t think it’s unreasonable to ensure the app allows campers to register their stay,” Ms Germano said.

“Given the level of concern from farmers on the matter, we need the option of a review process in 12 months’ time to change any regulations that clearly aren’t working.”

Community consultation on the move ends on April 19.

Who wants to study?

B

ack in the Dark Ages when I matriculated, studying agriculture was so popular for country kids it was difficult to find a place despite there being numerous agricultural colleges and regional universities offering a plethora of degrees, diplomas, and associate diplomas, and of course the good old-fashioned TAFE courses.

I studied at Orange Agricultural College and had the time of my life and wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t gone there.

Several years after I graduated, the Hawke Labor government introduced the controversial ‘Dawkins reforms’ to higher education.

Then Education Minister John Dawkins brought in the most sweeping reforms to the sector since Gough Whitlam made university education free.

But Dawkins’ reforms were a world away from that and resulted in widespread amalgamations of higher education, which ultimately tolled the death knell for many courses in agriculture.

Orange Ag College became part of Sydney Uni, then the University of New England, and then, well… closed.

I was appalled. There were very few options for studying agriculture for those who did not want to do a science degree and go to a city university.

Country Today with Libby Price

The old farm-management courses were good, solid, common-sense courses that offered a sound option.

I despaired at how much wider the divide between city and country would become.

Fast forward 30 years and, ‘times, they are a changin’. This year, enrolments in agriculture and environmental science students are up 13.6 percent.

We’re back in fashion.

Longerenong College near Horsham, one of Australia’s most historic handson agricultural learning institutions, is back to being brimful of students.

Its intake as well as student interest in similar institutions are reflecting the resurgence.

Dookie visit

Last week, I visited Dookie College, now part of the University of Melbourne.

I actually went there as it has just been announced by the Federal Government as Victoria’s drought hub for drought-management planning for the future.

While I was there I also interviewed the director of Dookie, Ros Gall, and was delighted to learn of the DIGS program, a Diploma in General Studies, which is a pathway to the agriculture degree.

“It’s also a pathway to the Bachelor of Science, the Bachelor of Design, the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce. They spend one year here studying a range of subjects,” Ms Gall said.

“Some students come into that because they’re actually not quite sure what they want to do.

“It gives them the ability to experience a number of different subject areas so they can then go on and make a more informed decision of what they want to do post that one year of study.

“The other thing that happens here is our second-year students come up here in their second semester and some come in their third year as well.

“They really enjoy being able to apply the theory as part of their degree in a practical sense and a lot of those students actually comment that it all makes sense to them, that they now understand what the theory is, where that’s taking them further in their careers.”

At last, our young people are again seeing a future in agriculture.

Money for shows Federal Government support for COVID-hit agricultural shows and field days has continued for an extra 110 events across the country.

Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said $710,818 in supplementary expense claims had won approval under a Supporting Agricultural Shows and Field Days program.

“Almost $34-million has already gone out to the 378 shows and field days approved for funding for costs paid from July 1, 2019 to 30 June 2020,” he said.

“With the help of the Australian government, our agricultural shows

and field days are bouncing back from the pandemic.

“This is a tribute to the hard work of their volunteers and support from local communities.

“These events are at the heart of our rural and regional communities and help farmers stay competitive by sharing innovation and new ways of doing business.”

Family business expands A

Wimmera family-owned farm machinery dealership will continue to strengthen its position in the agricultural industry, expanding its operation further into central and western Victoria.

O’Connors – Australia and New Zealand’s largest Case IH dealer – has purchased sites in Ballarat and St Arnaud from machinery dealership Agrimac, expanding the company’s footprint from 10 to 12 locations.

The business has branches across three states, including in three Wimmera-Mallee locations, at Birchip, Warracknabeal and Horsham. The company originated in Birchip in 1964.

Company leaders are confident the purchase cements O’Connors’ place as an industry leader and one of the largest Case IH dealerships in Australia.

Chief executive Gareth Webb said the business had been looking for opportunities for further growth following its successful expansion into New South Wales’ Central West region in 2018-2019.

He said the Agrimac locations in Ballarat and St Arnaud presented a perfect fit.

“O’Connors is a family business built upon great customer relationships, commitment to service, knowledge of the industry and 57 years of experience,” he said.

“The acquisition of the Agrimac Case IH dealerships is a great opportunity to extend our footprint into a diverse agricultural region, combining our experience with the knowledge that is already in the Ballarat and St Arnaud business.

GROWTH: From left, O’Connors Horsham branch manager Heath Martin, service manager Simon Adams and parts interpreter Dan Murray celebrate the company’s expansion to Ballarat and St Arnaud.

Picture: RACHEL DECKERT “O’Connors is looking forward to the challenge of entering a new market and we are excited to be able to bring the region the strength and customer benefits a larger dealership network provides.”

O’Connors expects the Agrimac deal will be completed in early June.

Agrimac dealer principal Hugh McEachern said the company would continue to oper-

ate its Warrnambool and Hamilton branches.

“For 57 years O’Connors has built a reputation for delivering exceptional support to customers, with unrivalled expertise and with parts and service departments backed by our extensive branch network,” he said.

“We’re looking forward to bringing these benefits to our new customers and ensuring uninterrupted support during the transition.”

New water council chair 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Victorian Farmers Federation has appointed Andrew Leahy as its new water council chair.

Federation president and policy council chair Emma Germano congratulated Mr Leahy and thanked outgoing chair Richard Anderson for his efforts in debating water issues.

“The water council looks after all water issues, whether that’s groundwater policy, pricing policy or basin plan matters,” she said.

“Governments listen to what we have to say on water policy and that’s why it’s important we have somebody in the chair role who is experienced and connected with their community. We believe Andrew meets this brief.

“We have witnessed significant change in water policy over Richard’s 15 years as chair and more than nine years on the water council.

“Richard has lobbied in the interests of irrigators and stock and domestic water users with successive governments, particularly through basin plan negotiations and implementation.”

Mr Leahy has an experienced background in farming and his dairy business milks more than 600 cows.

He also manages a contracting business at Murrabit in northern Victoria.

Mr Leahy said he looked forward to taking on the role as chair.

“Water is a big issue for our members and I am committed to continuing the fight for fair outcomes for farmers,” he said.

Mr Anderson, meanwhile, said it had been an honour to have been water council chair.

“In my time as chair the VFF has been at the forefront of the water-policy debate and I have every confidence Andrew will ensure this continues,” he said.

irchip Cropping Group will be a leading partner in The University of Melbourne’s Victoria Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub.

The Victorian hub will receive $8million in funding over the next four years from the Federal Government’s Future Drought Fund.

The hub will be a unique statewide partnership to help farmers, agricultural businesses and communities become more resilient to the impacts of future droughts.

It will play a critical role connecting these sectors to innovative technologies and practices. It will also translate research and knowledge into outcomes and support acceptance through testing adoption and scaling up of new solutions and commercialisation.

BCG will lead the northwest regional node of the hub. Other partners in the Victorian hub are Mallee Regional Innovation Centre, Food and Fibre Gippsland, Southern Farming Systems and Riverine Plains – together with Deakin University, Federation University, La Trobe University and Agriculture Victoria.

BCG chief executive Fiona Best said the hub offered a collaborative model that would bring the best people together irrespective of organisation.

“It will fast-track the delivery of in-

novation and practical solutions to the regions, building skills, capability and resilience,” she said.

“Birchip Cropping Group is delighted to be part of the collaboration as a key ‘node’ as well as providing leadership support to the hub.

“The hub offers farmers and regional communities a new delivery mechanism to ensure research and extension outcomes are provided in practical and tangible ways that are locally relevant.

“Having direct connections to the regions through farming systems groups such as Birchip Cropping Group will no doubt be one of the key success factors of this initiative.”

Operational

Organisers say the Victorian hub, led from the University of Melbourne’s Dookie campus, will be operational by next month. It is one of eight drought resilience hubs across Australia.

Hub co-director Professor Tim Reeves from the University of Melbourne Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences said the investment would make a profound difference to responding to future droughts and in the management of the environment and in communities.

“This hub brings together a great team focused on delivering real impacts for the agri-food sector in Victoria, in terms of enhanced drought

“A feature of this hub is the unprecedented co-operation between the partners to co-design and co-govern innovative approaches to future drought resilience. It bodes well for the team to make a real difference to our regional industries and communities.’’

Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management Minister David Littleproud said the hubs had evolved through the Future Drought Fund – a long-term, sustained investment

Member for Western Victoria Stuart Grimley is lobbying the State Government to address a shearer shortage in regional Victoria, resulting in major financial losses for farmers.

Opening and closing of state borders during the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the number of travelling shearers who would normally fill positions at Victorian farms.

Mr Grimley said farmers were facing a shortage of shearers because Victoria had not been accepting overseas travellers or participating in a ‘travel bubble’ with New Zealand, where the vast majority of shearers came from.

He said the State Government was investing in long-term programs to train new shearers, but more was needed to address the short-term issue.

“The Victorian government hasn’t addressed the need to support our struggling farmers with overseas workers or through incentivising those on welfare to take up this work,” he said.

“I have been contacted by western Victorian farmers who are screaming out for help to shear their sheep.”

Mr Grimley said the State Government must provide a plan to address the issue while the COVID-19 pandemic continued to ‘wreak havoc’ on travel.

“Drought is a natural part of the Australian landscape and these hubs will play a critical role in helping farmers and agricultural communities to be better prepared,” he said.

Space: An agricultural frontier 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A

new AgriFutures Australia report suggests agriculture represents the next frontier for space technology.

The report outlines how billion-dollar opportunities will super-charge technology adoption for farming, fishing and forestry industries during the next five to 10 years.

AgriFutures Australia commissioned the report to provide producers with insight into the awareness of the depth and breadth of available space technologies and potential uses into what is coming during the next decade.

The Australian National University study, Space-based technologies – opportunities for the rural sector, found improvements to geolocation alone could benefit Australian agriculture by $2.2-billion during a 30-year period.

It also found satellite connectivity could add $15.6-billion to gross value of production across agriculture, fisheries and forestry industries annually.

Space technology is already making a mark in farm production.

Producers routinely use satellite imaging, low-bandwidth sensors, satellite tracking, autosteer, paddock-level imagery and weather forecasting to drive better decision-making.

Many of these day-to-day technologies rely on space programs.

AgriFutures Australia’s Rural Futures senior manager Jennifer Medway said space had traditionally been the realm of sectors such as mining and defence.

“We are only on the cusp of unlocking opportunities for the rural sector.

It’s exciting. The farmer of the future will have space technology fully integrated into their everyday production systems and decision-making,” she said.

“For instance, dashboards will enable farmers to remotely manage manual processes, and interoperable data systems will radically shift the way on-farm decisions are made.

“All this is made possible through space technology, which has the potential to revolutionise the working day of tomorrow’s farmers.”

Creating connections

Programs such as AgriFutures’ evokeAG are connecting farmers, developers, researchers and the Australian Space Agency to accelerate the development of space technology for agriculture.

A SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre, a consortium of universities, research organisations and industry, is investing in a $245-million research program in advanced telecommunications, intelligent satellite systems, Earth-observation and remote-sensing analytics.

VALUABLE: Space technology is already routinely used in farm production, from satellite imaging to weather forecasting.

The Australian Space Agency also has a mandate to triple the size of the domestic space industry by 2030.

“Agriculture’s time is now. To stay competitive and continue to up the ante on increasing productivity and

sustainability, we need to look to fixes ‘outside the square’. Space technology is one of those fixes,” Ms Medway said.

Centre for Entrepreneurial Agri-Technology Industry En-

gagement senior manager Martin Amidy said a scenario whereby a farmer could manage multiple tasks in real time at the click of a button was a reality. But practical and cost-effective adaptations would be the key to adoption.

“In addition to the report, easily digestible fact sheets summarise available space technologies and their impact for livestock farming and broadacre cropping, to fishing and forestry, as well as more intensive farming systems like horticulture and dairy,” he said.

“It is important to emphasise the opportunity space technology presents, but it is equally important to arm producers with practical information on how to implement it and the return on investment they can get from adopting these technologies.”

The report shares information about what is happening globally and consolidates technologies and applications suitable for the Australian context, focusing on three main parts that can address challenges in rural industries: remote sensing, connectivity and geolocation, as well as the barriers to adoption.

Ms Medway said the next steps involved rural industries and tech companies collaborating to understand market complexities to maximise space-tech opportunities.

Mid-life update Lexus ES undergoes facelift ahead of H2 2021 arrival

N

ine months after Toyota announced a mid-life update for its Camry sedan, Lexus has followed suit with its related ES mid-sizer to be given a workover ahead of a local arrival in the second half of the year.

The Japanese car-maker has used the update to bring the ES more into line with its larger LS flagship sedan, starting with the exterior styling.

The headlight clusters have adopted the trio of geometric square bezels from the LS within the cluster, that on certain variants will include the brand’s BladeScan adaptive highbeam tech.

BladeScan improves road illumination at night and according to the

brand, allows superior light shielding for other road users through the use of a spinning blade mirror, which provides more precise light shielding than other adaptive high beam systems.

Other exterior changes include a rework of the brand’s signature spindle grille to incorporate an L-shaped mesh pattern, while new alloy wheels ranging in size from 17- to 19-inches have been added.

Ride comfort is one of the most important aspects of a Lexus, and as such the brand’s engineers have made a number of changes to the ES’ suspension, starting with replacing the single-sheet rear suspension braces with a stronger dual-sheet structure.

The rear suspension’s torsional and lateral rigidity has also been improved,

while the linear-solenoid adaptive variable suspension on F Sport grades has been upgraded with a new actuator allowing for a wider variable range of damping force.

Hybrid grades now feature improved brake feel through an improved mounting method for the internal bushing of the brake pedal link.

The Japanese brand has also expanded the specification levels of the ES range, starting with touch functionality for the 12.3-inch infotainment system, which has been brought forward by 100mm for easier access.

Walnut has been added to the list of available trim finishes, while the interior colour palette has been expanded with the inclusion of Hazel from the LS, and the newly developed Mauve.

F Sport grades also score a new white and flare red colour scheme for the seat cushions, while two new exterior paint colours have been added to the list of options.

Active safety technology has been bolstered with the Lexus Safety System+ suite now including an improved single-lens camera and millimetrewave radar for the pre-collision system, which features daytime cyclist and low-light pedestrian detection as well as oncoming vehicles.

Emergency steering assist is also included, as has low speed acceleration control, which helps to avoid accidental pedal misapplication at low speeds.

The dynamic radar cruise control and lane-recognition functions of the lane trace assist system have also

been improved. No changes have been made to the powertrain of the ES – a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol-hybrid powertrain developing a combined 160kW while sipping 4.8 litres of fuel per 100km.

The updated range is expected to carry over with the choice of Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury variants.

Lexus Australia will announce pricing and local specification closer to the launch – for reference, the current range retails for between $62,525 and $77,000 plus on-road costs.

Through the first quarter of the year, Lexus has sold 188 combined examples of the ES, marking a 23.7 percent improvement over the same period in 2020.

Subaru lobs WRX from $62,440

S

ubaru Australia has revealed what could prove to be the ultimate version of the currentgeneration WRX in the form of the STI EJ25 Final Edition; a limited run of 75 highly specified STIs designed to be the last hurrah of the fourth-gen WRX.

Priced from $62,440 plus on-road costs, the STI EJ25 Final Edition is based on the flagship STI Spec.R with the $3000 price premium netting a heap of unique exterior and interior upgrades.

Available in just three colours – WR Blue Pearl, 50 units, Crystal White Pearl, 15 units and Crystal Black Silica, 10 units – the EJ25 Editions flaunt gold 19-inch BBS alloy wheels, silver Brembo brake callipers, black door mirrors, shark fin antenna, fender inserts and WRX rear badge, a pinstriped front grille and ‘EJ25 Final Edition’ badging on the boot lid and engine cover.

Inside the cabin are silver highlighted Recaro sports bucket front seats, an Ultrasuede steering wheel, red STI push-start button, silver seatbelts and interior stitching, carbon-fibre look instrument panel and an ‘EJ25 Final Edition’ numbered badge.

Save for these changes, all of the Spec.R’s standard equipment trinkets are retained, including rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming rearview mir-

The same goes for under the bonnet too with the venerable turbocharged 2.5-litre ‘EJ25’ flat four-cylinder petrol engine going completely un-

touched. That means power and torque remain steady at 221kW/407Nm, still distributed to all four wheels exclusively via a six-speed manual transmission.

As previously reported by GoAuto, the new-generation WRX and adjoining STI are expected to be powered

by Subaru’s new force-fed 2.4-litre Boxer engine, with the latter tipped to be headed towards the 300kW mark.

Given the limited numbers, Subaru says 30 examples will be solely available to order via its website while the remaining 45 will be sold through its dealer network.

To help up the sense of occasion and exclusivity even more, online buyers will be given the chance to make a $1000 donation to the Australian Road Safety Foundation.

ULTIMATE VERSION: Australia gets ready to wave goodbye to gen-four Subaru WRX with STI EJ25 Final Edition.

vidualised delivery experience where rally drivers Molly Taylor, Cody Crocker, Mark Stacey or Dean Herridge will hand over the car in person.

According to Subaru Australia managing director Blair Read, the fourthgeneration STI has served the brand well with strengthening sales even in the twilight of its lifecycle.

“We’re getting towards the last in line for fourth-gen STI, which has served us so well since launch in 2014,” he said.

“It’s the car that underpinned Molly Taylor’s 2016 win in the Australian Rally Championship, which is an indication of its fantastic credentials as a capable performance car.

“This final edition pays tribute to an engine and chassis combo that have earned their stripes in both competition and on road as an adrenalinepumping, fun drive.”

Local bosses have already confirmed the new WRX will be in Aussie showrooms by Christmas with the rampant STI sometime in 2022 – we anticipate it to the be the first half of the year.

Subaru has sold 373 WRXs so far this year ending March, including the STI variants, marking a 22.7 percent increase year-on-year and netting the ageing all-paw hero a 1.4 percent share of the sub-$40,000 small car segment in the process.

Toyota confirms hybrid possibilities

T

oyota’s ever-popular range of off-roaders is about to get arguably the biggest shake-up to date following confirmation from local executives the brand would be offering at least one electrified variant of every model by 2030, including the booming HiLux and flagship LandCruiser.

Focussing solely on what you can do, without deciding what kind of person you should be, is a mistake. Your talent may make your name known, but your character will determine what people associate with it. Your talent may dictate your potential, but your character will determine your legacy.

What is character? It’s the will to do what’s right, even when it’s not easy. It’s deciding ahead of time what’s truly non-negotiable. Count on it, the day will come when so-called ‘progress’ calls for compromising your convictions. In that moment, what hangs in the balance is your moral authority. So you must be clear about your convictions. You’ll be tempted to believe that once you reach a certain level of success, these challenges disappear. No, success doesn’t make anything easier. It just raises the stakes. What was once applauded is now simply expected. It’s a lot easier to win a title than defend it. Furthermore, with success comes the inclination to see yourself as the final authority on right and wrong. Look around you and you’ll see that it’s not uncommon to find leaders playing by a different set of rules. Everything really does look different at the top! Once intoxicated by success you start to believe that the rules don’t apply to you. And that can be fatal.

In the final analysis your reputation is how you’re known before men but your character is how you’re known before God. You say, ‘But why cling to something that’s outdated or has the potential to slow me down?’ The Bible answers: ‘This is what He requires of you: to do what is right.’

Grand-final rematch a highlight F

BY SIMON KING

or the first time this season, Wimmera Hockey Association action will move to the synthetic surface at Dimboola Health and Fitness Centre.

The highlight of round three will be the last of the 2019 grand-final rematches, when Yanac Tigers take on Warrack Hoops in open competition.

When they last met, back in September 2019, it took two Tiger goals in extra time to separate the teams, and a similar epic game is expected on Saturday.

The Tigers are coming off a challenging game against the Kaniva Cobras last weekend, and the Hoops had their game against the Dimboola Burras cut short, so they might be fresher for this game.

Regardless of where these teams are on the ladder or recent form, they always put on a thrilling display and this game should be no exception.

The Tigers and Cobras both put on an outstanding display last week, playing a quick and skilful brand of hockey, but it was the Tigers’ control of the midfield that proved to be

the difference between the two.

The Tigers scored twice in the first half, it could have been more if not for some solid Cobra defence, but this was enough to win the game after an entertaining but scoreless second half.

Nhill Rangers started their game against Horsham Hurricanes with a bang, registering a goal within the first minute of play, and after a further 69 minutes of hockey, this proved to be the only difference between the two.

Warrack Hoops had scored two goals on Saturday when their game against Dimboola Burras was stopped 26 minutes into the first half following an injury to a player.

Despite leading the game, concern for the player’s welfare was a priority, which led the Hoops to offer to abandon the match to focus on seeking assistance, so no result was recorded.

The Hurricanes will have to play at their best when they take on the improving Cobras.

Both teams suffered narrow losses last round and will see a win here as an opportunity to take an early grip on a place in the top four.

IN FRONT: Dimboola Burras’ Lachlan Hughes in action.

Picture: SIMON KING

The Rangers had a tough hitout against the Cobras in round two but will go into their game as favourites, although the outof-form Burras play their home turf well and could begin to turn around their season with a good display in the late game.

The Dimboola Roos team, which features several players from the Warracknabeal club that is not fielding a women’s team this year, has only had one outing so far this season.

Its opponents this week, Nhill Thunderbirds, will look to build on their win over Kani-

va at the weekend and should have the Roos’ measure.

Both Horsham Jets and Kaniva Women suffered narrow losses at the weekend, so each will rate their chances to take the full four points and firmly establish themselves in the top four.

Yanac Women had their first hit-out for the season on Saturday, after enjoying a bye in round one, and took on a confident Kaniva team coming off a win.

Kaniva dominated much of the field play, but Yanac’s more

effective use of penalty corners saw it score off one of only two it earned while successfully defending eight at the other end of the ground to keep Kaniva scoreless.

The game between Horsham Jets and Nhill Thunderbirds was also decided by just one goal, scored by the latter team 20 minutes into the second half.

Yanac has the bye in the women’s competition this week, while Nhill Leopards have the week off in the under-16s.

The under-16 competition will feature Yanac Warriors playing Warrack Revengers and undefeated Horsham Bombers taking on fifth-placed Kaniva Raiders.

In the under-12 development program, Nhill Bandits play Dimboola Kookaburras, Horsham Black Hawks play Kaniva Rampagers and Yanac Lowan Stars meet Warrack Avengers.

Results – Open: Yanac Tigers 2 (goals, J. Harding, N. Colbert; best, S. Farmers, S. Alexander, T. Alexander) d Kaniva Cobras 0 (C. Beattie, B. Lovett, D. Cole); Nhill Rangers 4 (L. Schultz 2, J. Reichelt, R. Clark; L.

Schultz, H. Pearse, B. Miller) d Horsham Hurricanes 3 (T. Leffler, R. Batchelor, T. Batchelor; P. Mackereth, T. Batchelor, T. Leffler). Match between Warrack Hoops and Dimboola Burras was abandoned due to player injury.

Womens: Yanac Women 1 (goal, M. Farmers; best, M. Farmers, S. Hedt, E. Alexander) d Kaniva Women 0 (Q. Pearse, C. Shurdington, I. Williams); Nhill Thunderbirds 1 (K. Farquharson; E. Murden, G. McLeod, K. Farquharson) d Horsham Jets 0 (A. Morrow, L. Schilling, E. Morrow).

Under-16s: Horsham Bombers 4 (goals, L. Simmons 2, K. Schwarz, O. Nuske; best, L. Nuske, K. Schwarz, L. Simmons) d Nhill Leopards 3 (L. Deckert 3; K. Clark, D. Clark, O. Bone); Yanac Warriors 3 (Archie Zanker, H. Pedie, R. Croot; H. Pedie, Archie Zanker, A. Farmers) d Kaniva Raiders 0 (C. White, B. Williams, L. Krelle).

Under-12s: Warrack Avengers 7 (encouragement award, Diani Nel) v Dimboola Kookaburras 0 (C. Eldridge); Yanac Lowan Stars 1 v Kaniva Rampagers 5 (R. Doyle); Horsham Black Hawks 1 (D. Toet) v Nhill Bandits 5 (C. Bone).

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Star players add strength to teams T

BY DAVID BERRY

wo of Victoria’s best players will continue their qualification for Volleyball Horsham country championship men’s division one team tonight when they suit up in the A Grade competition.

Victorian Vipers captain Nic Boesten and former Mazenod defensive specialist Johnny Dal Santo will pass on their considerable experience to Volleyball Horsham A Grade players as they continue their build-up to the championships.

Boesten is one of the best and most imposing middle blockers in Victorian Volleyball League, while Dal Santo has a long history with both Mazenod and before that Monash as one of the best liberos in the league.

The opening game tonight sees second-placed Phantoms, with Dal Santo on board, taking on last week’s giant-killer Pegasus, who will slip Boesten into his familiar middle-blocking role.

Phantoms will be without the

experienced Dimitrios Vettos for this game, enabling Dal Santo to assume the pass-hitter role that Vettos would normally play.

With Boesten teaming up with key Pegasus hitters Will Brennan and Aidan O’Connor, this game promises plenty.

The second game of the evening features ladderleader Heidelberg doing battle with the enigmatic Volleyroos.

Jack Exell and Tamikah Dockrill received the nod from the referee last week for their game against Shados Inala and will look to continue their good form.

Volleyroos will hope the ever consistent Jordy Weidemann returns for this clash as they look to keep in touch with the top two positions on the ladder, after their unexpected loss last week.

The final game sees Shados Inala and Von Steiger Bloods do battle in a must-win game for both teams.

Hannah Whyte and Alex Baker have been consistent for Shados Inala, while Jack Hannan will look for setter Kimberley Crabtree to continue her good

setting and Tyler Snowden to be effective on the net.

In B Grade, match of the round features an all Von Steiger affair when the Boomers take on the Shadows.

The Boomers were disappointing last week when they were beaten by Parma Army, so they will be keen to bounce back.

The Shadows have dropped their past two games, consequently plummeting from top to third on the ladder. A loss in this game could see them drop even further down the ladder should Parma Army account for the Von Steiger Gangsters, as expected.

In other games, Waterhammers should be too strong for Von Steiger Bloods and Heidelberg Masters likewise over Von Steiger Barbarians.

Selection trials continued last night for Volleyball Horsham teams competing in Victorian country championships in June, with good numbers for both men’s and women’s teams. The final trial will be next week, with members encouraged to participate.

WINNERS: Pictured from left, back, Valmai Hood, Donna Frost, Marj Wiedermann and Marj Ward; and front, Judy Baker, Glenn Price, Shirley Price and Jean Burke with their winning shield.

Wimmera wins annual challenge Wimmera Croquet Association broke a drought in the annual Wimmera Ballarat Challenge, claiming victory in a thriller at Horsham Croquet Club.

The event involves two divisions and handicaps -6 to 6+ and 7 onwards.

Each division consists of four players from each region, playing four singles and two doubles games apiece.

This year’s challenge was a cliff-hanger, only decided by the last match.

Wimmera won 21 games to Ballarat’s 19 games.

Wimmera Croquet Association publicity officer Betty Etherton congratulated the winning outfit.

“It has been many years since our last victory,” she said.

“Thanks Ballarat Croquet Association members for making the effort to travel – everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day.

“Thanks to the Horsham Croquet Club for hosting the day, also special mention to Rae, Lyn and all referees.

“We look forward to playing again next year in Ballarat.”

Bombers keen to fly up

BY DEAN LAWSON

M

aintaining a lofty position on top of a Horsham District football ladder looms as primary motivation for Noradjuha-Quantong this weekend.

The Bombers find themselves leading the competition by percentage after a neat threefrom-three win record so far and will attempt to continue the run during a trip to Edenhope on Saturday.

Circumstances are tight at the top with Rupanyup and Kalkee also so far enjoying a clean slate and a Noradjuha-Quantong victory over Edenhope-Apsley would send confidence stocks soaring.

The Bombers clinched an inaugural Arapiles Cup in a low-scoring Anzac affair against Natimuk United last week, pulling away from their rivals in the second half and winning by 44 points.

Zac Kelly continued his big start to the season with another impressive performance, with Jye Walter, Heath Schulz and Jack Vague also impressing.

Noradjuha-Quantong travels deep into foreign territory to meet an Edenhope-Apsley side desperate to bounce back after disappointment against Jeparit-Rainbow.

The Saints were always on the back foot against the Storm despite the efforts of Dale Smith, Cameron Domaschenz and Dylan Vanzini. They would consider the Bombers a major scalp and an opportunity to build on earlier wins.

Harrow-Balmoral, meanwhile, fresh from a bounce-back win over Kaniva-Leeor United, will take on Jeparit-Rainbow at Balmoral.

Local Footy Live radio callers on 3WM watched the Southern Roos in action last week and left believing the team is on the road back to producing its best.

Commentator Grant Kuchel said the Roos had obviously been stung from a heavy loss to Rupanyup and were still missing the talent of Nick Pekin but would ‘shape up all right’.

“They will be there abouts, there’s no worries about that,” he said after calling the game.

“There’s no way Michael Close will have such an ordinary game again as last week and of course Simon Close was all class as per usual. They just seem to have the formula right.

“There’s a couple of younger fellows such as Tom Conheady coming through, Callum Hobbs has brought back some grunt and Mitch Jones and Will Plush are playing good footy.”

Jeparit-Rainbow impressed with a consistent four-quarter effort against the Saints last week, Jay Kirwood a standout with seven goals.

Nathan Cocks, Shane Maslin, Brad Hunter and Jacob Cocks also led the way to a 55-point win.

ACROSS THE LEAGUES Wimmera

This week: Ararat v Horsham, Warrack Eagles v Stawell, Southern Mallee Giants v Minyip-Murtoa at Beulah, Nhill v Dimboola. Horsham Saints, bye.

Important game

Kaniva-Leeor United fronts up against Natimuk United at Kaniva, with both sides needing to get their seasons rolling.

Natimuk United came off second-best against the Bombers last week, while the Cougars remain winless after running into the Roos.

Kuchel said his first impression of the Cougars was that their skill errors hurt them badly but there appeared obvious signs the club might ultimately click.

“I honestly think they will be pushing around the fifth or six-place mark,” he said.

“Chris Bryan could have kicked five or six if he had the right boots on last week and both he and Dylan Collis kicked three.”

Charlie Maddern, Mitch Jones and Lochlyn Hahne were others to impress.

Natimuk United kicked only three goals last week and will obviously have to remedy the shortfall.

Callum McNabb, Adam Coutts and Callum Cameron will need more team-mates to rally for what should be a fascinating game.

Kuchel rates Rupanyup as an obvious team to beat and suggested Taylors Lake will face a significant hurdle against the Panthers this week at Rupanyup.

“Rupanyup is pretty good. The addition of big strong Mitch Gleeson makes a lot of difference and then there is the likes of Elliot Kelly and Jack Kruezberger,” he said.

Last week Paul Trotter and Jarryd Graham

joined Kelly in leading the way for the Panthers as they eventually overwhelmed a willing Swifts.

Taylors Lake put in a solid effort against Laharum last week, falling just 17 points short of securing points.

Trae Martin, Jack McRae and Koby Westerland flew the red and white flag and will need to repeat the effort this weekend.

Kalkee is another team enjoying a solid start to the year and travels to Cameron Oval to take on Laharum.

The Kees continued their spotless season record with a monster win over Pimpinio, Deek Roberts bagging seven goals, Simon Hobbs and Jayden Kuhne four each and Jordan Motton three. Jasper Gunn and Pat Purcell were also key contributors.

Laharum, despite sneaking home against Taylors Lake and searching for back-to-back wins, will start as an underdog.

Pimpinio has to find a way of bouncing back but takes on Swifts at North Park in Stawell where there will be plenty happening with the official opening of new clubrooms.

Daniel Baker continues to dig deep for the Tigers, who will find the home side tough.

Scott Carey, Zac Armer and Nick Pickering were among Baggies to give Rupanyup a hurry-up last week.

This week: Edenhope-Apsley v Noradjuha-Quantong at Apsley, Harrow-Balmoral v Jeparit-Rainbow at Balmoral, Laharum v Kalkee, Kaniva-Leeor United v Natimuk United, Swifts v Pimpinio, Rupanyup v Taylors Lake.

Demons, Rats in inter-city clash H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham will use a game against historic inter-city rival Ararat in Wimmera league football on Saturday to try to regather a winning formula after falling off the pace under lights last weekend.

The Demons, outgunned in an Anzac Day clash against Horsham Saints, would have gleaned a need for greater balance and more potency in front of the sticks.

At the same time, Ararat needs to find a way of matching competition leaders after succumbing to yardstick Minyip-Murtoa in a one-sided affair at Murtoa.

Two Horsham players likely to make life hard for the Rats are defending duo Ben Lakin and Rhona Conboy.

Lakin, a quintessential springboard, was superb in a losing team on Sunday night, providing an eye-catching early season performance. He was hard to miss as he repelled continual Saints forays forward last week.

Conboy provided alternative defensive pressure, enjoying the contest in close, and young team-mates drew breath in his presence in the defensive half.

But Horsham, like many sides, has a relatively green list and will be constantly exposed to the inconsistencies of youth this year.

Horsham Saints beat the Demons through the centre corridor last week

and shut down attacking moves as the game went deep, leaving the home side to ask Jeremy Hartigan to shoulder a heavy load going forward.

The Saints rallied in response to a first-round loss, Jacob O’Beirne enjoying a fascinating tangle with Tyler Blake, Mitch Martin rising to the occasion and winning the Anzac Medal, Cody Bryan working himself into the game alongside Sam Breuer and Andrew Devereaux lifting for a Conboy challenge.

The day before, Ararat ran into what looms as a Minyip-Murtoa juggernaut and found itself down more than six goals at half time. That pushed out to more than 10 at the last change and finished with a 50-point loss.

Tom Mills, Baydn Cosgriff and Henry Shea attracted best-player votes, but the team will need plenty more firing to match the visitors.

Minyip-Murtoa, meanwhile, will take a reservoir of confidence up to Beulah and take on the Southern Mallee Giants in match of the round.

The Burras list appears big, strong and talented and at the weekend had plenty of avenues to goal.

Tim McIntyre and Jae McGrath both jagged four goals while Lachie Jones, aerialist Kieran Delahunty, Brylie Cameron and John Delahunty raffled best-player honours.

The clash against the Giants provides Minyip-Murtoa with a legitimate test of strength and 3WM’s Local Footy Live team will be in the

FLYING TACKLE: Horsham’s Ben Lakin applies a fierce tackle on Horsham Saints’ Angus Martin during a Wimmera league Anzac Day match at Horsham City Oval. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER southern Mallee covering the contest.

Broadcast caller Grant Kuchel said the commentary team was licking its lips in anticipation for the game after the Giants started flexing their muscles on Saturday with a crushing victory over southern neighbour Warrack Eagles.

“I think Minyip-Murtoa will be too strong, but it will be on,” he said.

Hopetoun provided the setting for the Giants’ 151-point demolition of the Eagles with Brock Orval enjoy-

ing the spoils with seven goals and players such as Cassidy Parish, Lou White, Ed Lindon and Luke Mahony queuing up for best-player votes.

Warrack Eagles have to pick themselves up for another tough contest, this time against Stawell at Warracknabeal.

The Eagles had little to cheer about last week, although Declan and Caleb Powell, Charlie Penny and Dane Stewart won home-club votes.

Stawell on the other hand, came back from a lengthy break to settle itself among the competition leaders with a big win over Nhill at Stawell.

The Warriors, with big Shane Field finishing with seven goals, shrugged off the Tigers early, kicking six goals in the second, third and final terms to win by 113 points.

On-field leader Tom Eckel marshalled the troops strongly and had worthy lieutenants in Paul Summers, Sam Williams and George Manton.

Cody Driscoll kicked three goals.

The Warriors also kept the Tigers to a solitary goal.

It is early days in the season and Nhill has time to regather the troops in weeks ahead, but it is unlikely to have any respite on Saturday against Dimboola, another team keen to establish itself among leaders.

Dimboola is coming off a bye and a narrow first-round victory against Horsham Saints and has a good mix of muscle, skill, fitness and speed.

There are a few to watch out for, including slick forward Dylan Tarczon, leader Justin Beugelaar and the powerful Jackson O’Neill. The list is lengthy.

For Nhill last week it was Liam Albrecht, Angus Wheaton, Ed Pritchard and Josh Jarred who squeezed into the best.

This Western Highway contest tends to bring out the best in both sides.

Horsham Saints have a bye.

Strong games forecast as juniors head to Bendigo One of the most enduring rivalries in western Victorian netball will enter another chapter on Saturday when Ararat plays Horsham in Wimmera league action in Ararat.

Ararat leaders would have been delighted with a thrilling 39-36 win over Minyip-Murtoa last week, but will find the Demons hard to beat.

The Rats have interception specialists Monique and Racquel Scott reading the play well and will need to be on song to capitalise on limited opportunities against the visitors.

Horsham’s Emma Buwalda shot 44 of 59 goals in a 28-goal Anzac Day win over Horsham Saints and would be confident under the ring with re-

bounding shooter Paula Weidermann.

Horsham appears too tall for Ararat defenders despite the best efforts of Rebecca Skrabl.

Some of the best on-court battles will be between Ararat goalies Tayla Borrelli and Delaney McLoughlan against tough defenders Georgia Hiscock and Marnie Lehmann.

A game between Warrack Eagles and Stawell at Stawell should unfold into a great contest if starting positions are similar to last week.

The Giants beat the Eagles 44-31 and a clash between the Warriors’ Jemma Clarkson and Sarah Spicer in the centre will be a key match-up.

Both players have speed, skill and ex-

perience and will also be determined to lead by example.

Stawell’s Ebony Summers is relishing her goal-attack role, having extra space to run, and is combining well with Zanaiya Bergen.

The Eagles have height in their attacking end and Megan Werner’s experience will guide whichever young goaler gets the nod out of Briodi McKenzie or Molly Stewart.

It will be up to Stawell coach Courtney McIlvride to limit Emma Koschitzke’s dominance around the circle, while juniors Madi Taylor and Molly Orr, making the most of their court time, are developing their games and have nothing to lose.

Southern Mallee Giants meet Minyip-Murtoa at Beulah and with the Giants coming out of the blocks firing might be just too strong.

Jodie Hayes shone for the Giants last week and should control the centre.

Up one end Steph Thomson is always strong under the attacking ring for the Giants but will have a good contest with Burras defender Ellie McGrath. At the other end, the battle between Minyip-Murtoa’s Maddi Morgan and Brylee Schache could ultimately sway the result.

Youngster Molly Fagan played a solid game in goals last week to get in the Burras’ best and the Giants can ill-afford to estimate her influence.

Nhill and Dimboola pull on the bibs at Nhill’s Davis Park with Nhill suffering two big losses and Dimboola coming off a bye and still a relative unknown.

Nhill will know Dimboola defender Olivia Jorgenson will be hard to shoot over and that Billie-Jo Barber and Nicole Polycarpou are an experienced combination in goals.

This means Tigers Maddi Peterkin and Sydney Thorogood will again have their work cut out for them as the action unfolds.

This Sunday, Wimmera netball 17 and under, 15 and under and 13 and under junior teams will represent the league at a Bendigo tournament.

Storm set for its biggest test yet J

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

eparit-Rainbow is enjoying a strong start to the 2021 Horsham District Football Netball League A Grade season and is undefeated heading into round four.

The Storm has been at the lower end of the ladder for several years but is certainly stronger this year, enjoying wins over usually higher-ranked opponents Kalkee and Edenhope-Apsley.

Jeparit-Rainbow’s biggest test so far looms in the form of Harrow-Balmoral, which last week ended KanivaLeeor United’s impressive debut in its new league.

The Southern Roos took a 13-goal lead into the first break and did not look back, winning by 20 goals, 5434.

Coach Ebonie Salter won best-oncourt accolades for her efforts in goal defence, while Courtney Clough shone in goals and the midcourt.

Kirby Knight has continued to prove an asset to her new club, putting up 43 goals despite strong defence from Elizabeth Hawker and Emma Hawker, who won votes at the weekend.

The Storm’s defenders will have their work cut out for them against the Roos and will benefit from the experience of Penny Fisher, who has returned to the fold, if available.

Goalie Georgia Batson shot 20 goals in a best-on-court performance against Edenhope-Apsley and will be a key player this week, as will team-mate Maddison Marra, who creates plenty of opportunities in the midcourt.

The Storm defeated EdenhopeApsley by 21 goals, 49-38.

The Saints were best served by Morgan Coventry in defence and centre and defender Dulcie Shirrefs.

Edenhope-Apsley will host a Noradjuha-Quantong outfit brimming with confidence following a win over Natimuk United.

The Bombers will take the opportunity to work on combinations as they look to solidify a new team and will be too strong for the developing Saints.

The Bombers enjoyed a competitive match with the Rams in the first half, but were able to blow out a six-goal half-time lead to win by 20 goals, 46-26.

Ash McKinnon and Jayne Tucker combined well in the midcourt, while defenders Jo Taylor and Bethany Sudholz battled hard all game for the home side.

Natimuk United, in fourth spot, will meet Kaniva-Leeor United, sixth, this week in one of the most interesting matchs of the round.

The Rams, 2019 grand finalists, rarely lose and will be keen to return to

The Cougars are still a bit of a dark horse and could take it right up to Natimuk United at home, although the Rams’ experience and hunger might just get them over the line.

Kalkee enjoyed a breakthrough, 32goal win over Pimpinio, led by a

32-goal performance from Jenna Bywaters.

Clair McDonald was also good in defence, making life difficult for Pimpinio’s goalies.

The Tigers were competitive early, within four goals at the first break, but were over-run as the game progressed.

Deni Sordello won recognition for her efforts in defence.

The Kees now turn their attention towards reigning premier and undefeated ladder leader Laharum, coming off a bye.

The teams will contest the Michele Mibus Memorial Round at Laharum.

Rupanyup has a bye this week after falling short against Swifts, despite the best efforts of wings Lucy Butler and Emma Downes.

Baggies goalie Jade Ralph, 18, was on song, while Julia Coates controlled the midcourt on her side’s way to a 49-23 victory.

Swifts will host Pimpinio on Saturday in an action-packed day that will also include the official opening of a new multipurpose change-room project at North Park.

Results: Noradjuha-Quantong d Natimuk United 46-26, Kalkee d Pimpinio 69-37; Swifts d Rupanyup 49-23, Jeparit-Rainbow d Edenhope-Apsley 49-28, Harrow-Balmoral d Kaniva-Leeor United 54-34.

Ladder: Laharum 12 points, 277.59 percent; Jeparit-Rainbow 12, 190.14; Harrow-Balmoral 12, 158.25; Natimuk United 8, 147.83; NoradjuhaQuantong 8, 111.11; Kaniva-Leeor United 8, 93.22; Kalkee 4, 119.17; Swifts 4, 112.28; Edenhope-Apsley 4, 59.28; Pimpinio 0, 64.40; Rupanyup 0, 60.94.

Rovers search for first win W

BY JONATHAN BOX

oorndoo-Mortlake sits atop the Mininera and District Football League ladder after round two, undefeated along with Tatyoon and Great Western.

SMW Rovers are still searching for their first win of the season as they take on Glenthompson-Dunkeld this weekend.

The Rovers’ most resent loss came at the hands of a well-drilled Woorndoo side, to the tune of 13 goals.

The Tigers came out strong right from the first bounce and went into the halftime break 10 goals up.

Rovers did show a glimmer of form in the third quarter, managing to match the host with four goals apiece, but were once again over-ran in the last term.

Jesse Sardo, Daniel Curran, Tom Thewlis and Darcy Osborne were the Bulldogs’ best for the second week in a row.

However, they will need a whole team performance if they are to get on the leaders board.

Glenthompson-Dunkeld was the one dishing out the punishment last week when it beat Caramut by 20 goals.

Thomas Irwin was the best of the nine goal-scorers, with seven goals for the

day, while Matthew Lowe was named best for the Rams.

Another team also looking to bank a win is Wickliffe-Lake Bolac, although it will be a tough ask this week when it plays reigning premier Great Western.

Wicky-Bolac finished off last weekend’s game against Penshurst strong, outscoring the Bombers in the last, however the damage had already been done and it went down by four goals.

Charles Vallance and Harley Hunter were named best for the Magpies, while Brett Cook managed three goals.

Great Western will be keen to make it 3 and 0 after a narrow win over the newlook Ararat Eagles at the weekend.

The game was very close all the way through with Great Western coming out on top by a goal.

Damon Folkes once again did the damage in front of goals, adding another three to his tally, with the help of Brady Miller and Ashley Ringin, who were the better players on the day.

In other games around the league, Hawkesdale-Macarthur hosts Ararat Eagles, Moyston-Willaura plays Caramut, Tatyoon travels to Penshurst to play the Bombers and Woorndoo-Mortlake will look to continue its good start to the season when it plays Lismore-Derrinallum.

Star clinches round N

ew Zealand champion Maximus Purvis added a Horsham round of Senior Victorian Motocross Championships to his trophy list as Dooen roared to life at the weekend.

Purvis was a last-minute entry to a star-studded field and won the MX 1 A Grade class ahead of highly fancied Victorian Joben Baldwin.

Lewis Stewart, who originally called Ararat home and now rides out

of Indonesia, was third. In another standout performance, former Victorian champion Maddy Brown won a women’s event and Liam Andrews, who won a major amateur event in March, continued his form to win an MX 2 A Grade class.

Horsham Motorcycle Club spokesman Kenny Watts said the weekend of action was a great success with spectators drifting into the Dooen track throughout the weekend.

“The club received a lot of acco-

lades from riders and their supporters about our course, which appears to be the envy of just about everyone,” he said.

The four-round championship series, which involved about 300 riders competing at Horsham, continues in Rosebud next month.

Mr Watts said the club would now turn its attention to club-level events before preparing for Western Region Championships in September.

Jess too smart for tired chasers A

FOR

FOX SAKE

BY KEITH LOFTHOUSE

ll the cards fell into place for Ararat schoolteacher Jess Smart when she arrived at Dunneworthy Common to compete with Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club for the first time since her only two previous starts in 2018.

A seventh and an 11th in those two races did not seem to pose a serious threat to the speedsters who lined up in the five-kilometre David O Jones Mitre 10 Handicap, but she stunned chasers when she led for the last kilometre before forging to a comfortable win over Matt Haddow and Jack Trounson.

“I don’t know how that happened. I had no expectations but just hoped to finish in the middle of the field,” a bewildered Smart said.

Had she returned to racing a week earlier at Stawell she would have been lost in the wake of Nathan Bendelle’s record-smashing six-minute win and left behind by the explosive speed of Gabe Tonks and Paula Pettingill.

Ignoring warnings from Haddow to ‘take it easy’ in Ararat’s parkrun just an hour or so earlier, Tonks and Pettingill made the mistake of racing as if their lives depended on it and both ‘blew up’ in the Mitre 10.

Tonks finished next to last in slow time, for him, while a distressed Pettingill stopped frequently over the last two kilometres when totally spent.

Due to her long absence, Smart was an unknown quantity and under the handicap conditions that give everyone a chance of winning, she received a five-minute start from Haddow, the runner-up in Bendelle’s big win, and two minutes from Trounson, the club’s 670-run veteran.

...CHECK OUT THESE GREAT DEALS!

HOWA MINI S/S VARMINT 223

At the post-race presentation, Smart, 32, thanked her coach Sue Blizzard for encouraging her return to the club after a three-year hiatus.

The mother of two said: “I stopped running after I injured a knee pushing a pram in the streets of Ararat and lost confidence and motivation.”

Second at his only two starts so far, Haddow will be favoured to win the King of the Hill at Ararat this Sunday, but the gut-busting climb to the top of One Tree Hill is a challenge different from any he has faced so far.

Marnie, Ava achieve maiden wins Stawell Amateur Athletic Club’s Saturday event started with 19 juniors battling it out over a one-kilometre course.

With adjusted handicaps, 13 runners were all within 60 seconds of each other.

Ethan Jones crossed the line with the fastest time, 4:24, while Ava Brilliant won for the first time. Sophie Fletcher and Emila Jones tied for second place, while Will Freeland finished third.

A field of 20 runners contested the senior championship run, with Jess Cass and Nathan Baker posting the fastest times.

Marnie Portelli won the event in a time of 25:38, some 40 seconds ahead on adjusted handicaps.

Rhonda Rice finished second, while a continually improving Drew Christian claimed third.

Portelli, a mother of two who is training for a 10km fun run,

has been enjoying the sport for nearly 10 years.

She has completed several fun runs and has now won her first race.

Portelli is studying part-time and hopes to complete her course this year while enjoying her running.

The next race starts at McCann dam on East West Road, with registration on course from 9.30am.

Horsham Saints’ Sam Breuer is full of intent as he launches for a mighty spoil over Horsham’s Garrett Liston during a Wimmera football Anzac Day night match at Horsham City Oval. The Saints outgunned the Demons in the marque night fixture, which involved everything from solemn reflection during a pre-match ceremony to fierce football and netball action.
