Rail-road plea F

BY LOTTE REITER

ears the loss of a rail-freight line in Hindmarsh Shire will exacerbate hazardous road conditions has triggered a desperate plea from community leaders for state intervention. Hindmarsh mayor Rob Gersch said the council was calling for immediate State Government support to upgrade the unusable Rainbow to Dimboola rail line to prevent trucks from having to use damaged roads for grain transport. He said forcing transport drivers to use already fragile roads instead of the rail line, particularly after a bumper harvest, was a ‘disaster waiting to

happen’. “The major concern is safety,” he said. “We are aware we have roughly 6000 B-double loads of grain ready for transport, and because the State Government is not going to fund the upgrade of the Rainbow line, all grain is going to go by road. “But the roads are not in a good enough condition to be used by these trucks. “Over time, very little maintenance has been done and the edges have broken away. “If we have trucks passing at high speeds of 100-kilometres an hour the road is going to keep breaking off like pieces of chocolate. It’s a safety factor as much as a common-sense thing.”

Cr Gersch said Hindmarsh Shire Council was aware of the issue before harvest and had been lobbying to get necessary money for rail upgrades. He said many of the Rainbow line’s problems stemmed from previous upgrades. “Years ago, they upgraded the line but used second-hand sleepers,” he said. “So, it was done cheaply, and unfortunately we’re paying for it now. “We will continue to work with the government and hopefully common sense will prevail. We’ll also be speaking to VicRoads about the upgrade of these roads.” Cr Gersch said upgrading the Rainbow line was one of three rail issues

Hindmarsh Shire Council hoped to resolve. He said The Overland passenger rail service and an Ararat to Horsham train service were also a focus.

Minister visit

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy echoed Cr Gersch in calling for improved rail services. She said she hoped a visit from Public Transport and Ports and Freight minister Melissa Horne in Horsham today would provide an opportunity to bring government attention to the region’s rail woes. She said this included the need for regular passenger rail services to Horsham, as well as the impact of govern-

ment cuts to the Mode Shift Incentive Scheme, which encouraged industry to shift containerised freight from road to rail. “I am aware of one large export company that has already made the decision to move their freight by truck instead of rail due to Labor’s funding cuts to the MSIS,” she said. “This company alone is now putting an additional 3000 trucks a year on our roads through Horsham and onto the Western Highway to Melbourne. “This is just another example of how wrong Labor’s priorities are when they are shifting more freight off rail and onto our already dangerous roads.”

Region opens door to hydrogen idea O

BY DEAN LAWSON

pportunities involving the creation, storage and use of home-grown ‘green’ hydrogen in the Wimmera are the subject of a new investigation.

Wimmera and southern Mallee leaders keen to explore the development potential surrounding the zero-emission gas have opened discussions with the State Government. The move was in response to Wimmera and southern Mallee’s reputation as a hotbed for renewable wind and solar-power generation and how best to add value to the energy resource. Association executive director Chris Sounness said discussions via a teleconference last week were in response to a Green or policy-discussion paper on a state green hydrogen plan. He said the meeting represented an initial step in the region in exploring ways of exploiting the potential of the

gas via energy generated by wind and solar farms. Green hydrogen is created by electrolysis of water via electricity created from an environmentally benign source such as a wind or solar generator. It differs from brown, grey or blue hydrogen, created by ‘steam methane reforming’, which generates high levels of carbon dioxide and can leak methane – both greenhouse gases. “The discussions were very much an initial step – very much the start of a potential journey,” Mr Sounness said. “We were keen to see where the government was going with this and we identified some strengths and opportunities in the region and why we have a high level of interest. “Storage of energy we create through wind and solar sources is a challenge and we can see hydrogen as part of an integrated solution. “We have a secure water supply and

an agricultural industry that research around the world suggests could readily tap into a readily available supply of energy. “We’re exploring how hydrogen might complement a competitive advantage for the region – through stable agricultural production, a renewable-energy vision and mining, which requires a lot of energy. “Our region has the means and capability to adopt developments quite rapidly if the means of sourcing and using hydrogen became available.” Mr Sounness said the evolution of the use of hydrogen was showing enormous promise in a worldwide alternative energy equation mix. “To put it into perspective, nine litres of water can make one kilogram of hydrogen. That one kilogram of hydrogen can power a vehicle for 100 kilometres. That’s involving existing technology and that technology is rapidly improving,” he said.

“The beauty of splitting water into hydrogen is that it might not matter if the water is fresh, from the sea or from underground – and that opens all sorts of possibilities.”

Conceptual stage

Mr Sounness stressed the move was at a conceptual stage and would require considerable research. “There are many challenges. The Green paper has highlighted research gaps and we will be reaching out to the CSIRO and working with other regional communities such as Ballarat and through a GNET forum to work as a region,” he said. Mr Sounness said the association also planned to engage with Warrnambool, where the Federal Government had invested $2-million to support initial stages of a pilot hydrogen hub. Association leaders plan to meet CSIRO representatives in mid-February, which will tie in with a Horsham visit by Professor Ross Garnaut.

Prof Garnaut, who has been a government advisor and written books on ways to respond to climate change, will speak on the potential of the region becoming an international leader in renewable energy at a public lecture on February 12. “Imagine the benefits for the Wimmera and southern Mallee, let alone western Victoria, if this idea becomes a reality,” he said. “We’re starting from a position of great strength because our region has already been identified as a prime source of wind and solar energy for use in electrolysis. “After identifying a clear picture of potential, which might take a couple of years, we might then be able to move further. It might be, like other products that started as an idea, such as the new pulse-protein powder venture in the Wimmera, that in 10 years it’s up and happening. We need to have a good look at it.”

Safety money The State Government has provided money for Ararat and Hindmarsh councils for campaigns to help address regional crime. It will provide $25,000 to Ararat Rural City Council to deter theft from homes and cars and $20,000 to Hindmarsh council to address crime and safety issues in Dimboola and Jeparit. Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said Ararat funding would go towards distributing information packs and running workshops and a social media campaign. She said the Hindmarsh Shire funding included $10,000 to install solar-powered lighting at Dimboola Recreation Reserve and $10,000 to improve security at Jeparit’s Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum.

Wait continues on highway decision P

BY DEAN LAWSON

rogress of dual-carriageway development on a 12.5-kilometre section of the Western Highway between Buangor and Ararat remains in the hands of Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley.

Member for Wannon Dan Tehan confirmed Ms Ley was still considering a Federal Court ruling that called for a fresh decision on a 2018 application to protect the area. The court in December upheld an appeal from members of Djab Wur-

rung Heritage Protection Embassy regarding the development. Judge Alan Robertson quashed Minister Ley’s July 16 decision to reject the embassy members’ application based on ‘legal error’ involving culturally significant trees. Mr Tehan stressed the Western Highway duplication between Buangor and Ararat was a section of one of the busiest freight routes in Australia. “It requires an urgently needed safety upgrade, an upgrade that has involved many years of planning and consultation,” he said. “Minister Susan Ley is looking

“It requires an urgently needed safety upgrade, an upgrade that has involved many years of planning and consultation”

Mr Tehan said the Federal Government remained committed to completing the Western Highway duplication from Ballarat to Stawell, committing $360-million in April last year for a final section between Ararat and Stawell. Apart from heritage-based concerns, efforts to change the route of the 12.5-kilometre development section have also included community-based Keep Original Route Supporters, KORS. KORS, in arguing the planned development route would involve significant environmental as well as her-

closely at the ruling by Judge Robertson, lessons it might offer and any future course of action in relation to it. “Consideration of the matter will follow the processes outlined under the legislation taking into account Judge Robertson’s comments on the Minister’s previous findings.”

Riders primed for ‘Ride to Remember’ Motorcyclists will join forces at an annual Grampians Ride to Remember on Sunday to raise money for medical equipment while commemorating police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Two-wheel enthusiasts from across the country will gather at Ararat RSL car park at 9am for a 194-kilometre ride through Ararat district and Northern Grampians and Pyrenees shires. Ararat branch of Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation has been organising the event for more than 10 years and this year will donate money to East Grampians Health Service’s John McNally Medical Imaging Department. Grampians Ride to Remember sub-committee chairman Dean Pinniger said the event had attracted about 400 riders. He said despite the threat of the summer bushfires having an impact on participation numbers, he hoped to see regular participants from New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland. Organisers describe the ride, which features a different route each year, as a ‘green-corridor’ event. Mr Pinniger said this year’s ride would feature a combination of old and new routes

for its 12th year – offering ‘picturesque scenery for the riders along the way’. He said riders would travel through Buangor, Elmhurst, Stawell, Pomonal and Moyston, before returning to

Ararat’s Alexandra Gardens for a barbecue lunch. The event is open to all licensed motorcycle enthusiasts, with registration $40. Participants can register online at

trybooking.com/BGHLS and at the event. Motorcyclists can also enter their machines in a show and shine competition free of cost.

itage damage, continues to promote an alternative ‘lower-impact’ route. Protesters camped at a site along the section of highway for much of the second half of last year. State Government agency Major Roads Projects Victoria is managing the $672-million project, which started in 2010. There are no plans to continue the dual-carriageway project north-west beyond Stawell, which represents the start of the historic driver ‘fatigue zone’ to Bordertown in South Australia.

Event to test trivia heads Trivia-night lovers will have a chance to put their general knowledge to the test when Stawell Bowling Club hosts its annual trivia event next week. The club will host the night at its Napier Street location on February 8, with doors opening at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Club social committee chair Julie Cass said she hoped the event would attract a wide range of people, who can participate in teams of up to eight people or as a single entry. She said there would be eight rounds of 10 questions including topics such as music, sport, regional knowledge, movies and television, books and literature, history and geography. “Get a team together from your workplace, club, team, committee or other organisation and come along for a fun night out,” she said. “You don’t have to be an expert in any particular area or know lots of general knowledge, just come along for a fun night out and you might even learn some fun facts in the process.” The event costs $10, including supper, and teams are encouraged to bring their own snacks to share on their tables. Drinks are available at bar prices.

A need to look beyond routine

here is little doubt many of us enjoy a life of routine.

Being able to get up every day without pain or illness, go to work to make a good wage where we can experience varying degrees of satisfaction and then arrive back home to the comfort and security of family all sounds pretty good. In fact it sounds idyllic, albeit perhaps a little simplistic or even naïve. Being able to establish a comfortable day-to-day routine free of war, famine, disease and other upheaval is understandably a benchmark for many in measuring the success of a modern society. But celebrating routine can also stifle

creativity, development and ingenuity and can sometimes be dangerous. While it is easy and sometimes appropriate to stick to the concept of ‘if it aint broke, don’t fix it’, it is also important to understand the meaning behind ‘if we want things to stay the same, something has to change’. Wimmera Development Association’s probe into the opportunities surrounding the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source in the region is a great example of understanding a need to look beyond routine. In the Wimmera we could easily sit back, do what we have done for eons and let everyone else around the world make all the tough decisions on issues

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

that directly affect our communities. It can also be easy to blame everyone else for many of our regional shortcomings. While we can’t influence everything that makes the world, the nation and the state tick, we can certainly have a crack at some of them. ‘Who dares wins’ is another phrase that comes to mind and the reality is

that we often do not have to be too daring – just well-informed, engaged and driven – to enjoy success. Concerns about the health of our planet and invariably us, whether it be based on climate change or how we are polluting, degrading or ignoring our environment, are stimulating a healthy shift away from the routine. If it is doing anything, it is sparking people into action to open fresh doors of discovery, opportunity, capacity and possibility. Perhaps the message for our part of the world is that we should no longer accept our relative isolation as a handicap, nor accept that we can’t be the beating heart of fresh innovation.

In pinching yet another saying, ‘it’s a small world’, the Wimmera and the broader region encompassing the southern Mallee, Grampians and Western District fringe, already influences what happens in Australia and overseas. We need only take note that our part of western Victoria, amid a national drought, is supplying most of the fodder for the country’s eastern seaboard this season. Agricultural production is our traditional bread and butter but what other opportunities can we explore? We can always return to rebuilding a world of routine – that is, until we experience the next light-bulb moment.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Drought and now fire

Sir, – The whole world is aghast at what is currently unfolding in Australia, in about 15 percent of habitable land on earth. The Black Saturday fires in 2009 should have been a wake-up call but seemingly were little more than a reset of the snooze button. Let’s not deny for a moment the herculean efforts put in by some truly dedicated teams, but we need a change of mindset to avoid ever more frequent catastrophes such as we’ve witnessed over the past months. The drought potentiated the fires and we need to understand their cause and effect relationship. Humankind has altered the Australian landscape more in the past 230 years than in the 230 centuries before that. Our European forebears tried to make Australia like ‘home’, with familiar an-

imals, birds and plants, including crops. Australia has always had dry periods – we now call them droughts – and the indigenous biota has had eons of time to successfully adapt. The temperate-climate European populations of animals, plants and people have generally not adapted very well to these conditions. There are two distinct but interactive components to the rain-water cycle of our continent. Rain can come from offshore, ocean-weather patterns which are highly variable in timing and intensity but are important, continent-wide, for filling up and flushing out water-ways and replenishing the aquifers. The second component consists of the deep-rooted trees and shrubs which draw up and respire this subsurface, store water and release it to the atmosphere, where it

can precipitate as fog or more local rain. Our widespread clearance of deep-rooted, native vegetation and replacing it with shallow-rooted, introduced species, has seriously restricted or denied access to this stored water source, which has exacerbated our present water shortages and denied the forests on the eastern side of the continent the moisture they needed and caused them to dry to such a dangerous extent. We should recognise the present situation has evolved over at least the past hundred years, but has accelerated more recently. There is an urgent need to re-vegetate with locally adapted plants, on a grand scale. It is beyond dispute that at least 10 percent of farm land can be set aside for such work without affecting the level of productivity of the remainder. There really is no excuse for ongoing inaction.

Wimmera connects with Walwa T

BY LOTTE REITER

he power is gone. The landlines are unusable. Mobile phones are rendered useless.

All the while, fire rages at the front gate and smoke consumes the sky. Before a strike team of Wimmera firefighters arrived, this was the isolating reality of the Walwa community. The northeast Victorian town was one of many to bear the wrath of the country’s bushfire crisis. With fire slowly fencing them in, its residents were forced to defend their town alone for a week, with a single fire truck and a ute with a water tank on the back. A 20-person Country Fire Authority, CFA, deployment predominantly from the region’s District 17 was one of the first sources of outside help the town received. District 17 member and strike-team leader Roger Perris said that when his team arrived and was debriefed about Walwa’s situation, he was ‘a bit shocked’. “The fact that they had been battling the fire on their own for a week before we got there was just amazing,” he said. “They had been attacked on the north and south side the week before, and when we got there they were being attacked from the east and west. “They were very happy to see us. They greeted us with hugs and open doors for whatever we needed.” Mr Perris said the strike team implemented containment lines, back-burning and asset protection, in addition to providing community engagement and education. He said when his team was due to re-

“Last I heard, the fire had been contained to the outskirts, and they managed to hold it back.” Shortly after returning from the fiveday deployment, a Wimmera committee formed, consisting of Warracknabeal residents and members of the strike team, and the Wimmera-Walwa Bushfire Recovery Appeal was created. The appeal is focused on generating money and livestock feed for Walwa. Warracknabeal CFA captain and strike team member Cameron Whelan said it was the fact Walwa residents had been through so much that the Wimmera group felt it was important it continued to help. “I think that when we initially got to the town and sat down, we had a little bit of time to talk to the residents

and hear about what they had been through,” he said. “The fire was lingering around the town for about a week, and that extension of trauma was really wearing them down – it was becoming quite emotional. “There were some people who felt they had been almost forgotten in some way, I guess because the limelight was on other areas in the state at the time. “I think they really felt they had been isolated. “We pretty much just saw a need there and wanted to help.” Mr Whelan said before the Wimmera-Walwa appeal went public, community groups had already donated $9000, with an additional contribution of livestock feed.

He said the donation total now sat at more than $12,000, following The Warracknabeal Bowling Club raising $1428, The Rotary Club of Warracknabeal donating gold coins from the weekend’s Australia Day ceremony, and a Tupperware raffle led by Wimmera resident Casey Kosch raising $890.25. He said two semi-loads of hay had also been delivered to Walwa, with more to head off soon. He said Walwa residents had been grateful and overwhelmed by the support of the Wimmera. “We’ve started to gather a nice little nest egg for them, which is good,” he said. “And what makes this appeal different is that 100 percent of the money will go to them and they will decide how it will be used. “We’ve been speaking with the Walwa Bush Nursing Centre and the principal of Walwa Primary School, Steven Lynch, to establish their greatest needs, and they’ll be using a model from a previous disaster management plan to distribute funds according to their primary need. “They’re very appreciative. And I think to have strangers do this they’ve been a bit overwhelmed.” Mr Whelan encouraged organisations, fundraising committees and people to visit the Wimmera-Walwa Bushfire Recovery Appeal Facebook page to find out more or make a donation. He said people could also donate money in person at Dianne Marchment and Associates Accounting in Warracknabeal until the end of February.

International stage is set H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham continues to enhance its reputation as a national centre for elite motocross with confirmation the Wimmera capital will host another major international competition.

Motorcycling Australia officials have confirmed Dooen Recreation Reserve as host of an inaugural FIM Oceania Junior Motocross TriNations Cup meeting from April 4 to 5. The event, which will be part of round one and two of Australia’s premier motocross championship, the MX Nationals, will feature the best junior motocross riders from Australia, New Zealand and France. Horsham and the Wimmera gained major international motor-sport exposure in 2018 when it hosted the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship. The Horsham presentation was the first time it had been in Australia. Horsham Motorcycle Club speculated after the success of the

championships that it would continue to pursue opportunities to host elite-level competitions. It had even explored what was needed to host world senior titles. The FIM Oceania Junior Motocross Tri-Nations Cup will involve national teams of up to 10 riders aged between 13 and 17 aboard 125cc motocross machines. Individual and team trophies are up for grabs. Racing will follow FIM Junior Motocross World Championship formats and rules and will be a lead-up for these young riders competing in the world junior titles in August. Motorcycling Australia chief executive Peter Doyle said the inaugural junior cup championship was another way to improve junior motocross development. “There is strong rivalry between our three nations when it comes to the rugby field, and we will see these young riders bringing that same passion and rivalry to the motocross track at Horsham,” he said.

“We hope the inaugural FIM Oceania Junior Motocross Tri-Nations Cup will expand in years to come to perhaps include teams from Asia and Africa” – Peter Doyle

“This further builds on FIM Oceania and MA junior development programs and helps to bring the motorcycling community from around the world closer, with the inclusion of FIM Europe Federation. “We hope the inaugural FIM Oceania Junior Motocross Tri-Nations Cup will expand in years to come to perhaps include teams from Asia and Africa.” Federation Francaise de Motocyclisme director general Sebastien Poirier added his organisation was proud to be able to take part in this new event, which was first discussed three years ago. “For the French Federation via the New Caledonia League, it is a unique opportunity to join forces

with the FIM Oceania Federation,” he said. “This will be the beginning of a new friendly collaboration between us and, for the New Caledonia riders, an opportunity to improve their level in competition with some great riders. “We are looking forward to being hosted in Horsham and I thank the Australian federation for its contribution to the success of this event.” FIM Oceania president Glen Williams said the organisation was thrilled to host three strong motocross federations, all of which had highly skilled junior riders within the South Pacific region. “It is events such as the FIM Oceania Junior Motocross Tri-Nations Cup that will help to produce the experience required to one day become a FIM world champion,” he said. Williams Event Management, which has a long collaborative relationship with Horsham Motorcycle Club, is heavily involved in event preparations.

Club prepares for ‘massive’ auction A Stawell-based auction to help raise money for fire-affected communities is generating mass interest as people continue to donate prize items. Stawell Club is hosting a Fire Appeal and Goods and Services Auction on February 8 from 6pm. Board member Geoff Reading said the night, including live music, a barbecue and finger food, was created to help people in need during the bushfire crisis, with 100 percent of money raised going to Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria. He said since the club announced the auction online, it had received an influx of donations and community booking requests. Mr Reading said auction prizes included a two-night fishing charter for four at Robe, a fitted semi-trailer tarp, wine, wheel alignments, Eskies, a Wilson tennis racquet and one-week portable toilet hire. He said there would also be dressed lambs, vehicle detailing to the value of $175 and a Mitabi 16-litre backpack sprayer. “The club board and members sincerely thank all donors, musicians, volunteers and all who attend for their help,” he said. Entry to the auction is $5. Music starts at 8pm and the auction starts at 9pm.

Australia Day spirit shines bright Organisers of an Australia Day Spirit of the Wimmera fundraiser at Dooen Hotel were overwhelmed by support for the event, which raised $8005 for Victorian bushfire victims. Patrons on the day chose to split the total between Wimmera-Walwa Bushfire Recovery Appeal and Bairnsdale Apex Club. Dooen Hotel publican Ali Faux said she was incredibly grateful to be part of an event that showcased the best parts of humanity. “Bairnsdale Apex Club was blown away to receive such awesome news and will let us know how the money is used after their next meeting,” she said. “Wimmera-Walwa team leader Nadine Whelan from Warracknabeal had tears in her eyes

when we notified her of the amount on Monday. The amount of gratitude the organising team has for every single person who gave their time to help make the event what it was is something we cannot put into words. “We have no comprehension exactly how treasured every cent is to those people.” Organisers cordoned off an area outside the pub to cater for the large crowd and activities. Nine acts from across the Wimmera performed throughout the day and into the evening. There was also a community garage sale, auction, raffle, face-painting, a jumping castle and ‘fun but frustrating’ challenges to help reach the total. – Sarah Scully

AUSTRALIA DAY Region celebrates list of achievers T

BY LOTTE REITER

he celebration of individuals for their leadership, generosity and passion was a highlight of Australia Day festivities across the region at the weekend.

Municipalities hosted events on Sunday to mark the national day and recognise a variety of residents’ community contributions in the past year and beyond. Ararat Rural City Council posthumously awarded Peter Carthew AM, who died on Boxing Day last year, the Ararat Ambassador Award for representing the phrase ‘community spirit’. His contributions included serving as a councillor with the former City of Ararat; advocacy for East Grampians Health Service and Victoria Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat branch; and involvement in a fundraising appeal during the 2000s for Ararat’s new hospital. Mr Carthew was also the co-founder of manufacturing business AME Systems. Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said the community was ‘eternally grateful’ for Mr Carthew’s decades of service to his community. Ararat Neighbourhood House won the Inspiring Healthy Living Award. The organisation provides residents regular access to healthy food and staples through its Second Bite program

and Food Bank, and worked with Ararat and District Carers Group to create an inclusive and active community day to celebrate International Day of People with a Disability in December. Ararat Fire Brigade won the Community Spirit Award.

Northern Grampians

In Northern Grampians Shire’s Stawell and central wards, Lois Johnson was Citizen of the Year. Other winners included Ian ‘Daffy’ O’Donnell as Local Hero and Melissa Sanders as Young Citizen of the Year, while Stawell Amazing Race won Community Event of the Year. In St Arnaud, winners were Jennifer Lanyon, Citizen of the Year, Franklin Postlethwaite, Senior Citizen of the Year, and Belinda Burke, Young Citizen of the Year. The St Arnaud Norm Simpson Memorial Pipe Band’s 70th Anniversary 2019 Victorian Mini Pipe Band Championships received the Community Event of the Year award. Northern Grampians Shire also tipped its hat to Stawell’s John Hooper, who received a nationally recognised Emergency Services Medal as part of an Australia Day 2020 Honours List. Mr Hooper, Stawell’s deputy controller, has been part of the State Emergency Services for more than 40 years, specialising in road-crash

He was part of search efforts during the 2009 Black Saturday fires and 2011 Grampians landslides, and even flew to Greece in 2018 to help with fire-support efforts. Mr Hooper has travelled to many countries to learn rescue techniques he has brought back to Victoria and shared with fellow volunteers. He said the reason he had stayed with VICSES for so long was because of his genuine love for helping his home community. “I joined in December 1978 and never looked back,” he said. “One of the most rewarding parts of being a VICSES volunteer is

actually training up new members. I have undertaken specialist search and rescue training, and being able to pass on those skills, and see others flourish, is just wonderful.”

Accolades aplenty

In Hindmarsh Shire, Nhill’s Catherine Bates was Citizen of the Year for developing the Nhill College music department and active participation in community groups including Nhill and District Sporting Club, Piggery Lane Players and Nhill Town Committee. Nhill College teacher Shannon Smith was Young Citizen of the Year and Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre’s Nhill Airshow 2019 won Community Event of the Year.

Harrow’s Ron Penrose was West Wimmera Shire’s Citizen of the Year. Mr Penrose has been a volunteer actor in the Harrow Sound and Light Show for more than 20 years and is also a long-serving volunteer at Harrow Bush Nursing Centre, Harrow Fire Brigade, Harrow Uniting Church and Harrow Promotion and Development Group. West Wimmera’s Young Citizen of the Year award went to Goroke Agricultural and Pastoral Society president Tyler Hayden, who is the youngest president in the society’s history at 19. Kaniva and District Progress Association was the shire’s Community Group of the Year, and the 2019 Goroke Rodeo won Community Event of the Year. Warracknabeal district community celebrated the achievements of three identities at its Australia Day celebrations. Gwen Steinmeyer was Citizen of the Year, Charlie Inkster Young Achiever of the Year and Rikki Nitschke Sportsperson of the Year. Yarriambiack Shire’s awardees were Patchewollock’s Robin Yetman, Citizen of the Year, Hopetoun’s Maddy Cashill, Young Citizen of the Year, and Wine and Dine in the Stick Shed, Community Event of the Year. Horsham announced its winners before weekend celebrations.

AUSTRALIA DAY Pam fuelled by community spirit H

BY LOTTE REITER

orsham councillor Pam Clarke remembers one of her first endeavours to give back to her community – she was 10 and had organised a neighbourhood concert to help raise money for an elderly resident.

Pam Clarke

“I think we ended up making three pounds and went knocking on their door to give it to them,” she said. “But when you have the opportunity to help, you make yourself available.” Born and raised in Horsham, Cr Clarke believes her early sense of community spirit was the product of living in a generous and volunteer-centric community. And it was her awareness of how much Horsham residents were willing to give that made the honour of receiving an Order of Australia Medal on Sunday so humbling. “There are a lot of people doing enormous amounts for the community in the background who are really our unsung heroes,” she said. “And there are many people who have

done a lot more than I ever have, so it is such an honour for me to have this recognition. I’m very humbled.” Many of Horsham’s residents would know Cr Clarke for her two terms as Horsham’s mayor, as well as many years as a councillor. But while a portion of her community work has been through her roles in local government, she has also volunteered in many other areas. She is a member of Rotary Club of Horsham East, former chair of the Aboriginal Reconciliation Advisory Committee, spent eight years on Uniting Wimmera’s board and has had crucial roles in developing employment services. Cr Clarke said her love for Horsham and desire to make it the best place she could fuelled her heavy involvement. “I’m passionate about Horsham. I think it’s a brilliant community,” she said. “And that’s what I want for people to think of it as. I want people to think of it as a community to raise a family, live and work. “They did a survey a couple of years ago

and Horsham was one of the top communities for volunteering, and it’s that spirit in Horsham that is really wonderful.” Cr Clarke said her proudest achievement was seeing community projects she had been involved in come to fruition and thrive. She said this included Horsham Aquatic Centre and Horsham Town Hall redevelopment, as well as helping with Kalkee Road Children’s and Community Hub. “I think those really big projects – and to see them become so successful – are really my proudest achievements,” she said. “I was a new councillor when the aquatic centre was being discussed, and formed part of the discussion of where it would go. I also chaired the fundraising committee, which helped raise $640,000 for it. “But projects like that, I didn’t do on my own and couldn’t have achieved them on my own. And I think that’s important – you can’t do anything in life without people around you and being part of what you do. “I have been privileged to have had some really amazing people support me.”

Olive no ‘ordinary little lady’ A

BY LOTTE REITER

sk Hopetoun’s Olive Wellington to describe herself, and she’ll tell you she’s a bit like salt and pepper – she’s in everything.

From the Hopetoun Red Cross Australia branch to the former Hopetoun Football Club, the 86-year-old admits she likes to ‘keep her finger on the pulse’ of her community. And it is this lifelong love for and dedication to the southern Mallee town that saw her awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia on Sunday. Mrs Wellington, a mother of seven, grandmother of 18 and great-grandmother of 30, said family was the driving force behind her community participation. “My family has been here forever as they say,” she said. “If we’re talking 50 years ago, I had two aunts who were very involved in the community, and they dragged me off the street to be part of Red Cross. “And I had seven kids, so I have had to be pretty involved because of them too,

with their sport and school. Probably kinder was the first thing I got involved with; I was secretary there and that sort of grew. “Over the years, of course, we had little athletics and all those things that we don’t have anymore, but I was involved with all that. I also used to organise the junior tennis. “Anything that’s going on in town I’m usually a part of.” Of her extensive list of volunteering and community work, Mrs Wellington’s contribution to Hopetoun Red Cross is among the most notable. Mrs Wellington said she had enjoyed a position in Red Cross since the Hopetoun branch started, including roles of treasurer, publicity officer and secretary. She was instrumental in starting Junior Red Cross activities at Hopetoun’s St Joseph’s Primary School about 35 years ago, and last year, received a long-service award for 50 years’ contribution to the overall organisation. Mrs Wellington said because of Hopetoun’s declining population, it was more important than ever for people to be

involved in the community, its groups and committees, to keep people’s spirits alive. “I really love Hopetoun, and I’m very proud of what it has got,” she said. “But with a declining population of course we’ve got to keep everyone motivated, so most people are in committees now. You’ve got to have people on these committees to run anything in the town. “With Red Cross, our task nowadays like any small town branch, is to just have fundraisers and be involved with our community.” Mrs Wellington has also facilitated the donation of thousands of dollars to the Royal Children’s Hospital by placing collection tins across town. She said she aimed to send about $4000 to $5000 to the hospital – which frequently looked after families and children from the region – each year. “I wouldn’t know how much I’ve sent altogether,” she said. “But I can only support charities through the generosity of the town. On my own, I’m just an ordinary little old lady.”

Ian ‘repaying a debt’ W

BY LOTTE REITER

arracknabeal’s latest Order of Australia Medal recipient believes his long list of volunteer contributions are simply repaying a debt to a community that’s given him ‘so much’.

Ian Penny, officially recognised on Sunday as part of Australia Day celebrations, has a long and diverse connection to the wheatbelt region. He has previously been president and councillor on former Warracknabeal Shire Council; a member, including a stint as president, of Warracknabeal Rotary Club since 2006; and is a life member and on the management board at Woodbine disability service. Mr Penny has also been part of both Sheep Hills and Warracknabeal school councils, president of Victorian Farmers Federation Sheep Hills branch, and played

cricket at Boolite Cricket Club from the age of 11 to 48. More recently, he was Yarriambiack Shire’s Citizen of the Year for 2018. Mr Penny said any spare minute was an opportunity to get involved, a philosophy he encouraged other people to adopt. “As far as community organisations go, I think that’s what makes a community so great to live in,” he said. “They are what makes it a better place to live and makes a community tick. Here in Warracknabeal there are that many community groups, and it’s so amazing. “So, I’d encourage anybody and everybody, if they have a spare minute, to join a committee for something that they’re passionate about.” Mr Penny said he moved to Warracknabeal with his wife Lorraine about 14 years ago, from a property just north-east of Sheep Hills. “We always intended to live in Warrack-

Weekly Wool Market

nabeal at some stage when the right house came up,” he said. “And that house came up a little bit sooner than we intended, but we bought it. “It’s been really good, especially for Lorraine, because she can drop in and see friends easily and have a coffee, which wouldn’t really happen so much when you live 20 minutes out on a farm.” Mr Penny said his family was pivotal in him being able to be so heavily involved in his community. “I guess nobody has the opportunity to do things in the community without the support of their family,” he said. “And I’ve been very lucky to have the support of Lorraine for 50 years, as well as our four boys.” Mr Penny said he was humbled to become a Member of the Order of Australia. “It’s certainly an honour. It’s not something I ever dreamt I would get,” he said.

After three weeks of successive rises the Australian wool market has recorded overall losses this week. Melbourne opened proceedings on Tuesday and was the only centre in operation. The softer tone evident at the end of the previous week’s sale was immediately apparent when selling began. By day’s end, the individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) for 17.0 micron and coarser falling by 14 to 40 cents. On the back of these falls the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) lost 14 cents for the day. As the Northern region did not sell on the last selling day of the previous series, or the first selling day of this series, they did not suffer the losses experienced in the other centres on these days. As a result, Sydney posted large losses on its opening day, these falls pushed the Sydney MPGs down by 37 to 110 cents. The Sydney losses were the driving force behind the 24 cent drop in the EMI, as the Southern region was firm when compared to the previous day, shaving only one cent of the Melbourne indicator. The market settled on the final selling day as buyers found a price basis they were comfortable with, the market then slowly rose as the sale progressed, so much so that the Fremantle region selling last, recorded increases of 6 to 16 cents for the day, finishing the week on a positive note .The EMI managed a 5 cent increase for the day. Overall the EMI lost 33 cents for the series, closing at 1,576 cents. The oddment sector was the strongest performer for the series. Locks in particular were in strong demand, pushing prices up by 30 to 40 cents. These gains combined with modest increases in other carding types, helped push three carding indicators up by an average of 30 cents. Next week’s national offering reduces to 40,680 bales.

There are still plenty of demands on the budget, but by this age there’s a good chance there’s some spare cash that can be put to good use. As you pass the halfway mark of your working life, it’s time to give retirement planning a bit more attention. A 45-year-old today will reach ‘retirement age’ in 22 years. Taking inflation into account a couple will, by then, need an income of about $117,882 a year if they want to enjoy a ‘comfortable’ retirement. With the government expecting us to be self-sufficient in our old age, the nest egg required to fund that lifestyle could be more than $2-million. So, what can you do to have $2-million waiting for you in two short decades’ time?

A beneficial sacrifice

At this age, a popular strategy for boosting retirement savings is ‘salary sacrifice’, in which you take a cut in take-home pay in exchange for additional pre-tax contributions to your super. If you are self-employed, you can increase your tax-deductible contributions, within the concessional limit, to gain the same benefit. Salary sacrificing provides a double benefit. Not only are you adding more money to your retirement balance, these contributions and their earnings are taxed at only 15 percent. If you earn between $90,001 and $180,000 a year that money would otherwise be taxed at 39 percent. Sacrifice $1000 a month over the course of a year and you’ll be $2880 better off just from the tax benefits alone. It’s important to remember that if combined salary sacrifice and superannuation guarantee contributions exceed $25,000 in a given year the amount above this limit will be added to your assessable income and taxed at your marginal tax rate.

been a sound wealth-building strategy for many. Current low interest rates and the tax benefits of salary sacrifice, combined with a good longterm investment return, means that putting your money into super produces the better outcome in most cases. One caveat – if you think you might need to access that money before retiring, do not put it into super. Pay down the mortgage and redraw should you need to.

Let the government contribute

Low-income earners can pick up an easy, government-sponsored, 50 percent return on their investment just by making an after-tax contribution to their super fund. Not surprisingly, there are limits, but if you can contribute $1000 of your own money to super you could receive up to $500 as a cocontribution. Another strategy that might help some couples is contribution splitting. This is where a portion of one partner’s superannuation contributions are rolled over to the partner on a lower income. With debts and dependants, adequate life-insurance cover is crucial. Holding cover through superannuation might provide benefits such as lower premiums, a tax deduction to the super fund and reduced strain on cash flow. Finally, review your superannuation death-benefit nominations to ensure they remain relevant.

Seek professional advice

The 40s is an important decade for wealth creation with many things to consider, so ask your licensed financial adviser to help you make sure the next 20 years are the best for your super.

Marked step up

New Yaris billed as Toyota’s most efficient car

oyota Australia is claiming its new Yaris hybrid will be the brand’s most fuel-efficient car when it lobs in May.

The Yaris hybrid is said to return as little as 3.3 litres per 100-kilometres on the combined cycle. Powered by a new 1.5-litre petrol engine, no power figures for the new system have been released yet, though we do know the new Yaris will ride on

the Toyota New Global Architecture, TNGA, platform. Toyota Australia sales and marketing vice-president Sean Hanley said the new Yaris would boast dynamics to match its leading fuel-efficiency. “The all-new Toyota Yaris is a marked step up from the current car in every respect and will deliver the outstanding fuel efficiency and advanced safety technology that our customers demand,” he said.

“It will also offer a substantially more engaging drive, superb comfort and refinement and the sort of contemporary styling to make it truly stand out in the crowd.” Away from the efficiency talk, the new Yaris will also take a step up in terms of safety and equipment, set to come as standard with Toyota’s most advanced pre-collision safety system and adaptive cruise control. With its focus on fuel economy, it

comes as no real surprise that Toyota will also use the launch of the Yaris hybrid to retire its exiting light-car hybrid, the Prius C. “With the imminent arrival of the all-new Yaris, Toyota has rationalised its line-up and will discontinue sales of the Prius C hatch – first launched in 2012 – in the second quarter of 2020,” Toyota said. While the Prius C will be retired, the existing full-sized Prius as well as its

people-mover counterpart, the Prius V, will continue. Last year Toyota sold 9853 Yarises in contrast to 415 Prius Cs, with the latter experiencing a 19.9 percent decrease in sales compared with 2018 while the Yaris only dropped 3.3 percent. Australian pricing of the new Yaris will be revealed closer to its launch date. – Callum Hunter

First Mustang R-Spec signed off

ord Australia has officially signed off on the first finished Mustang R-Spec ahead of the model’s delivery to dealerships. Costing $99,980 plus on-road costs, just 500 R-Specs are being produced by Ford and Herrod Performance, all of which will be individually numbered and badged. The occasion was marked last week when Ford Australia and New Zealand chief executive Kay Hart joined Herrod Performance boss Rob Herrod and the R-Spec production team in Melbourne to sign off on Build #001. “It’s so great to be here with Rob and the team with the Mustang R-Spec Build #001 – it has been a passion project for us all,” Ms Hart said. “It’s fantastic to be able to celebrate with the team that has worked so hard to reach this milestone, enabling us to bring a supercharged Mustang to Australian customers.” Mr Herrod said the day was a special one and the result of a huge team effort. “The Mustang R-Spec is something that we are very proud of,” he said. “We are humbled by the passion and enthusiasm for the car since we showed it late last year and had the great Dick Johnson himself drive around Mount Panorama, Bathurst.” While official power figures are yet

to be released, the R-Spec features Roush-based 12 psi, 2.65-litre supercharger kit, which when applied aftermarket to the 5.0-litre V8, produces 522kW of power and 827Nm of torque – up 179kW and 258Nm – so a kilowatt count north of 500 and more than 800Nm is well and truly on the cards. To allow the blown V8 to breathe out as well as it breathes in, Herrod has also fitted an active sports exhaust with four noise settings accessed via buttons on the steering wheel ranging from ‘quiet’ to ‘racetrack’. The standard GT’s suspension has

been upgraded using thicker Ford Performance adjustable stabiliser bars front and rear – 5mm and 3mm thicker than standard. The R-Spec also rides 20mm lower than its GT donor car. Ford designer David Dewitt said visual pizzazz was also a priority, as well as performance. “That starts with the stance, and the unique 19-inch Ford Performance alloy wheels combined with the Ford Performance suspension package,” he said. “When we combine these functional upgrades with the unique design cues,

the result is a meaner, more aggressive attitude and more flattering silhouette, the car just looks ready to go.” These design cues include black decals and stripes, unique lower front valance and spoiler, bigger intake, blackened headlight surrounds and black Pony badge. Despite various reports claiming all 500 R-Specs had been sold, Ford Australia product communications manager Damion Smy assured GoAuto that some examples of the flagship muscle car were still available. “All 500 are allocated to dealers, and the majority sold, so we’d suggest

to readers to contact their preferred Ford dealer to avoid disappointment,” he said. “We’re delighted with the enthusiasm and passion for Mustang R-Spec, which is the very reason we worked with Herrod Performance to bring a supercharged Mustang to Australia through our national dealer network.” With the first car finished and ready for delivery and most of the others already spoken for, Mr Smy did not say what was next for the Mustang Down Under, but did hint this might not be the only chapter in the home-grown performance Pony. “The collaboration with Herrod Performance to deliver the R-Spec to Ford showrooms was a great opportunity to answer customer demand for a supercharged Mustang, and will help us in working with customers and enthusiasts in what we offer in the future,” he said. The rest of the Mustang R-Specs will arrive in showrooms shortly, boasting a factory-backed five-year warranty. Last year Ford shifted 3948 Mustangs nationally, down more than 38 percent on 2018’s 6412 units, but still accounted for more than half of the sub-$80,000 sportscar market. – Callum Hunter

Answers: 1. Cantankerous. 2. French. Haiti shares Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic where Spanish is the official language. 3. False. It’s a myth. Scientists have documented cancerous tumours in more than 20 species of shark. Research does however suggest some shark species can live long lives. Investigations in 2016 revealed the Greenland shark could live to at least 272 and possibly up to 500. 4. Terry Jones. He was 77. 5. Wellington. It has been New Zealand’s capital since 1865. The country’s first capital city was Old Russell, or Okiato, in 1840-41. Auckland was then the capital from 1841 to 1865. 6. Gills. It is their gills that must remain moist. While they can survive short periods out of water, they need a watery home to breed, feed and flourish. 7. Pink. She is an American pop-music star with an extensive international fan base. She gets her nickname from Reservoir Dogs film character ‘Mr Pink’ and in January donated $500,000 to Australian fire services. 8. Okapi. It lives native to Central Africa and is endangered. Some describe their appearance as a cross between a giraffe and a zebra. 9. Sugar gliders. One of the subspecies is native to the Wimmera. 10.

Auction boost for field days 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY DEAN LAWSON

monster auction shaping as a major part of this year’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days will become an annual regional agricultural attraction if successful.

Organisers are predicting everything from ‘a tractor to a toolbox’ will be up for grabs in what represents a first for a major agricultural field days in Australia. The Ag Machinery and Equipment Auction on March 5, as part of the third day of the field days at Wimmera Events Centre at Longerenong, will be open for exhibitors to ‘offload and promote’ everything from surplus goods to specials. Field days manager Murray Wilson

said excitement was growing, not only among event committee members but also dealers keen to make the most of the promotion. “There’s no doubt this is going to be a major feature of the field days,” he said. “The Thursday of the field days has been traditionally the come-and-graba-bargain day and while circumstances have changed, this works in with that theme. “If it’s as successful as we suspect, we plan to make it an annual part of the showcase. It will certainly add some excitement and colour and a lot of good buys. “It represents a great way for us to offer all onsite machinery and equipment traders and exhibitors, already with a mindset of moving gear, a

chance to get together and to offer something a little different. Everyone loves a good auction. “Of course an auction might just appeal to people who are simply looking for some good ag equipment and this could provide a chance to pick up a bargain while also enjoying the field days. “Anyone who registers for the auction on the Tuesday and Wednesday of the field days will get a free Thursday pass, but they can also register on the day. That means they can visit dealers earlier in the week, get an idea what might be up for grabs, come back on Thursday and make a bid.” Mr Wilson said Elders would be in charge of the auction, which potentially might offer ‘anything from $200 to $200,000’ in goods.

“It’s a first for a big agricultural field days in Australia and our committee has been pleased with the feedback received from dealers and exhibitors,” he said. “Some companies have already committed to providing goods and from what we are hearing there could be items listed as having unreserved as well as reserved prices. “That suggests that exhibitors might want to bring items specifically for the auction and won’t be keen to take them home.” Mr Wilson said the auction would occur mid-morning at a designated auction site. “I’m predicting there will be some people who come to the field days just for the auction,” he said. “We might see anything from tool

boxes, generators and air compressors to, sprayers or tractors. There might be a second-hand car from a local dealer available and who knows, there might even be a header in the mix. “The field days has always provided an opportunity for people involved in agriculture to pick up a bargain, and this might just take it to a new level.” Mr Wilson said in-depth discussions with exhibitors after last year’s field days on ways to generate fresh enthusiasm into the event while maintaining focus as an agribusiness and rural machinery trade event had led to the auction. ACE Radio, through The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM, is a sponsor of the auction.

At home in the Wimmera The word ‘home’ for Canadian Pat Guay often means snow, minus-15-degree weather and an approximate 160,000-person city to keep him company. After travelling to Australia on a working visa, he quickly realised that calling a small town in the Wimmera ‘home’ would mean the polar opposite. Mr Guay has been helping with farm work and harvest on Nathan Dart’s Lah East farm near Warracknabeal. He said making the move from New Brunswick to Australia had been an interesting but nice change, including adapting to the heat and the unique slang. “I’m from Moncton, New Brunswick, where there is about 160,000 to 170,000 people,” he said. “And then here in Warracknabeal it’s about, what, 3000 people? So, small town lifestyle where you get to meet the same people around and around. “In New Brunswick we’ll get snow. The last snowfall was about 20 to 25cm, and then there’s minus-15 to minus-20 weather usually, compared with here… plus 20, plus 30, plus 40. “But, yeah, it’s nice – everybody is kind of laid back and gets stuff done.” Mr Guay said he originally came to Australia on his previous boss’s recommendation, after ending a seasonal road-building job in Canada. He said that in order to extend his one-

year visa for a second year, he had to complete 88 days of farm work, leading him to the small wheatbelt town of Warracknabeal. He said the thing that stood out to him most about Australian culture was the way people spoke. “Just all the slang you guys have,” he said. “The way that all the words are super short, you know, the shortening of everything. Australians don’t talk a whole lot – it’s brekky, facey – the less words you can put in a sentence the better it is. “At the beginning I was like, ‘what are people saying?’ and then you start to catch on. Like, ‘pass me the dead horse’ means tomato sauce. Back home it would be ketchup.” Mr Guay said apart from travelling north to ‘chase the heat’ and heading to Thailand for a couple of weeks next month, he was largely unsure of his long-term plans, but would probably apply for a third-year visa in Australia. “If I do another six months of farm work I can an extend another year, but after the third year, it will be all said and done here,” he said. “So, I don’t know what that is going to bring to me. But we’ll go where the wind blows and see what opportunity comes up.” – Lotte Reiter

he impending start of the school year has prompted Longerenong College leaders to urge prospective students to get enrolments in as soon as possible.

The college had 10 student places remaining for 2020 intake late last week and issued an 11th-hour reminder that enrolments close on Monday. College business development officer Donna Winfield said it was important for first-year students to avoid waiting until the last minute to put their names forward. “They haven’t run out of time just yet but the cut-off is right upon us,” she said. “And it would be a shame for anyone to miss out, especially when 2020 is the inaugural year of the Longerenong Data Farm. “Incorporating digital ag into the curriculum is a major step forward for the college and a serious bonus for prospective agricultural professionals studying for their Advanced Diploma of Agribusiness Management.” Ms Winfield said she suspected the many courses and opportunities avail-

able in the tertiary-education space was responsible for students waiting for the last minute to confirm their enrolment. “It can be very easy to overlook what we’re offering at Longerenong and we are acutely aware that students might suddenly realise that they have missed an opportunity,” she said. “We are more than comfortable and happy with the number of students we have already but believe people out there have been pondering over their plans and urge them to avoid delaying any longer. “From a selfish perspective, we also want to be able to say we have a full quota of students considering the high regard our graduates are held in and sought after in the agricultural industry. “Agricultural workplace opportunities are as strong as they have ever been and we remind everyone across the Wimmera-Mallee that opportunities to gain the most hands-on credible and practical training available in this field are available here in our own region.” As well as its intake of domestic students, the college has attract two more students from oversees, taking its international contingent to five.

“When you look at it from a macro level, almost all grain and fodder required for the east coast of Australia this year will be coming out of Victoria”

BY DEAN LAWSON

ecember rain more than 12 months ago, a ‘relatively gentle’ 2019 spring and farmer adaptability and planning has underpinned one of the best overall Wimmera and southern Mallee harvests in years.

A similar summary also applies to the Western District to the south, where farmers are still finishing off the last of late-maturing crops. A favourable mid and south-western Victorian harvest represents an isolated thumbnail on an Australiawide dryland farming map otherwise smeared with the devastation of drought. Victorian Farmers Federation president and Wimmera farmer David Jochinke said western Victoria, as a result, would this year be the primary provider of grain and fodder needs for the country’s eastern seaboard. “When you look at it from a macro level, almost all grain and fodder required for the east coast of Australia this year will be coming out of Victoria,” he said. “A high percentage from the Wimmera and southern Mallee has already been sent and that will be followed up by the Western District.” Mr Jochinke said with north-west Victoria and other dryland cropping regions across Australia crippled by

drought, the Wimmera had done extremely well in comparison. “While it has again to some extent been a bit of a tale of two sides of the Great Dividing Range, anyone who managed to snag some of that rain either side back in December 2018, and got their timing right, has generally done well,” he said. “Even though at the time it was a bit of a curse because of harvesting, it provided an opening for some farmers

to have solid average to above-average crops, despite overall having a belowaverage rain season, even in the south. “It appears anywhere people got crops in on top of that moisture andor managed to use circumstances to feed their crops – anyone who got that right, especially north of the divide – has done well. “No farm north of the ranges got average rain, but some had ripper crops based on timing and where

the rain fell. In the Wimmera, if we didn’t have that 2018 December rain we would have been in strife and be telling a different story. “We also had a mild spring with minimal impact from frost, that also helped.” Mr Jochinke added that results amid a lack of extensive rain also reflected how modern farming practices in the region were at the cutting edge in understanding and responding to a

variable and ever-changing climate. “It shows off techniques the modern farmer is using to make the most of every opportunity to use every drop of moisture available,” he said. “It’s a real credit to how we’ve adopted modern technology and gained an understanding and how we can adapt. “Overall for many there’s been a sigh of relief in that we’ve managed to have a decent season that will hopefully flow through regional communities. “We are an ag-based sector and when farmers have a good year our communities have a good year as well. “In the two previous years many crops in the region were smashed by frost and this now gives many a chance to get a bit of breathing space and catch up a bit. “And there is also the confidence to adequately fund the upcoming season as well.”

Bucking a nation-wide trend A

BY DEAN LAWSON

Wimmera-based contract harvester has revealed the extent of dramatically different circumstances and cropping results for dryland broadacre farmers in Victoria and New South Wales.

Chris Bartlett, who operates Bartlett Brothers Harvesting with his brother Dale, said some of the Wimmera crops he had worked on this summer were among the best he had seen in five years. But he said that was in stark contrast to a lack of harvesting opportunities in drought-ravaged areas of far northern Victoria and NSW. “We work right up to the Queensland border and last season didn’t take a machine. Not going to NSW left a massive hole in our run,” he said. “But in the Wimmera it seems to have been a really good season for just about everyone. “Hopetoun in the southern Mallee had good-yielding barley, wheat and lentils crops – probably the best season I’ve seen up in Hopetoun area. And you talk to blokes up there and the general feeling is that it’s been a very solid season with good yields and good prices. “We were also over at Minimay in the west where there were good yields in beans and wheat and good straw quality as well. “From our experience, areas around Horsham were very solid as well and

ALL SYSTEMS GO: Nathan Dart is pictured loading lentils bound for Rupanyup at his Lah East farm. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER where we’ve worked we’ve seen examples where crops have gone a lot better than many expected. “In some cases, where the expectation was for yields of four tonne a hectare, it’s gone five, and the majority of barley seems to have gone malting quality. And everyone has seed.” The Bartletts, a farming family based at Pimpinio, were running six headers in the Wimmera and had little chance or opportunity to leave Victoria. Mr Bartlett said many areas in the Wimmera-Mallee appeared to have dodged a bullet with frost and a general

lack of rain. “We, like the rest of our contract clients, enjoyed a very solid and profitable season,” he said. “In fact, from our perspective, it appears to have been a solid year everywhere across the Wimmera in a region stretching from the south and south-west and Horsham and Natimuk districts to Hopetoun. “You just have to look at the amount of grain that’s gone to Dimboola, for example. You only need to take note of the size of the bunkers.” Nathan Dart, who farms at Lah East north of Warracknabeal, echoed com-

ments from growers across the region in reporting good results. Busy last week moving lentils and straw after a busy harvest, he summed up his circumstances with a typical Wimmera-farmer understatement: “It’s pretty good, can’t complain,” he said. Mr Bartlett said southern Wimmera and Western District crops had also been highly productive. “We’ve been harvesting spring barley and peas and safflower in the Skipton-Lismore area with some places having returns of seven to eight tonne per hectares,” he said.

Rabbit warning 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A group dedicated to fighting against rabbits in Australia has warned the pest animal’s numbers were likely to grow when a national drought breaks. Foundation for Rabbit Free Australia chair professor Wayne Meyer said drought was affecting rabbit populations but expectations were that the introduced rodent would rebound quickly with an onset of improved seasonal conditions. “It is easy to forget that 70 years ago Australia had a wild rabbit population estimated at six-billion, wreaking havoc on agriculture, soil and the environment despite billions killed by trapping, shooting and poisoning,” he said. “The breakthrough was of course myxomatosis and 45 years later RHDV, calicivirus. Neither was an accident; they were the outcome of thorough, hardslog, scientific research.” Rabbit Free Australia is a publicly subscribed fund supporting research, awareness and encouraging on-ground action to eradicate wild rabbits in Australia.

Catastrophe of fire A

s it seemed like Australia had been on fire for months, my mind in recent weeks has wandered back to previous catastrophic events that, as a journalist, I’ve had little choice but to cover.

It’s given me insight into humanity, both good and bad, though like many fire victims, if you gave me my time over again, I would rather not have gone through the experiences. I’ve covered many natural disasters, from cyclone emergencies when I lived in Western Australia, to floods and of course the many bushfires during the past three decades. I’ve even slept under a desk in the office to wake every half hour for another emergency warning. But that’s emergencies at arm’s length. There’s nothing quite like being there, even if in the aftermath. As soon as I was allowed in, I went into the burnt-out villages decimated by the Black Saturday fires. Even now, that smell of fire and death triggers shocking memories. I’ll never forget reading messages pinned to a board asking if anyone knew the whereabouts of a friend, messages of grief, hope and sadness, or of driving around Marysville with only a few houses randomly left standing and so many lives lost. So, it was with some trepidation that

Country Today with Libby Price

I joined a convoy of trucks laden with donated hay heading into Corryong fire complex. I managed to hitch a ride with a bloke from the Australian Professional Rodeo Association who, with his mates, had found time on their hands after the fires resulted in the cancellation of several rodeos. Like so many young country lads he was a man of few words, but obviously gentle and kind and reaching out to get fodder to where it was most needed. While he didn’t talk much, there was plenty of country music and talking over the CB radio, which involved an entirely different language that it’s probably best I didn’t understand. Certainly, it wasn’t as traumatic as Black Saturday. The land didn’t seem to have been burnt beyond recognition and while there were livestock losses, they were remarkably small. We also seem to have become a lot better organised with fires, with

councils quickly setting up evacuation centres, which were filled with donations of clothes, mobile phone chargers, shoes, toiletries: you name it, it was there. Tallangatta Hall stage was piled high to the point where some goods had to go to another building. I’m sure there would be plenty left over, such was the generosity of not just locals, but even people from Melbourne who drove up with trailer loads to donate to those who’d found themselves tragically homeless. One farmer we gave a load of hay to said she was flat-out organising logistics while her husband was out burying dead cattle. She was worried about her mental health after she stopped as the enormity of the destruction hit. Sometimes it’s just incomprehensible, and as I warned her, the trigger points can hit months, even years later and suddenly the trauma washes back over you. It’s cathartic even writing this. But may I end on a question. Where are all the hundreds of millions of dollars of celebrity donations going to? The farming community has pulled together, but will they be forgotten as this unprecedented global response rolls out? Let’s hope not.

Don’t delay securing seed 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

With paddock plans at various stages, there has been a good amount of inquiry for new crop varieties, many of which are in short supply. So, a key message to farmers is do not delay in securing seed for sowing this year. Three new Australian Hard, AH, varieties have created interest – the LRPB Nighthawk, LPB19-0392, Rockstar, IGW4341 and Catapult, RAC2484. In the barley space, there’s eyes on Leabrook, WI4896, a mid-season potential malt variety. Next year appears set to be an exciting year for barley releases in our area with anticipation of seed varieties WI4952, a mid-early season and IGB1705T, an IMI-tolerant barley. Keep an eye on trial data for these two. On the pulse front, PBA Royal Chickpea, CICA1156, an early-mid high-yielding Kabuli, is new for 2020 and well worth a look. There is also great anticipation around the new IMI-tolerant lentil CIPAL1721, that we’ll hopefully see available in 2021. The early-mid dwarf oat, Bilby, also looks like a crop to consider, both for yield and with similarities to Bannister and improved quality. There’s considerable interest in Kingbale, a world first IMI-tolerant oaten hay variety. Current information is that seed will be available for

planting in 2021. Thinking ahead to 2021 and hay oats, Koorabup is a new mid-tall potential hay variety bred by National Oat Breeders and marketed by AEXCO. Marleigh represents a new grazing and silage forge oat option. Forage and hay oats in particular seem to be in short supply this year. Recent forecasts of rain created plenty of activity on the phone from people wanting to make the most of a bit of moisture – some for soil health, some for forage and others trying to achieve both. Tillage radish is a significant variety for farmers looking for an annual species that benefits soil health and provides forage. If you are wanting to know more about the evolving area of carbon farming and emissions for your farm business, the Western District branch of the Grasslands Society of Southern Australia will be presenting a one-day conference, Front Foot Farming – Carbon Farming for the future, on February 26 at Hamilton Showground. Front Foot Farming is supported by Carbon Farming of Australia, MLA, Landcare Australia, Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority and the Federal Government’s National Landcare Program.

Christian Devotion

Situations Vacant

“It just happened.”

A hiker got lost for days in the desert desperately prayed for the means to find refuge from the heat and most of all get some water. Suddenly he came across a vendor in the middle of the desert and cried out “Thank God I found you! I’m in dire need of water.” “Well,” said the vendor, “I don’t have any water. But would you like to buy one of these fine neck ties?” “What am I going to do with a tie?” the man asked. “That’s what I’m selling sir. I am sorry I have no other wares or water.” The man left the vendor and walked many more miles, praying he would find water and respite from the scorching sun. Just as he was giving up hope he saw a restaurant right there in the desert and stumbled into it. As he stepped in the air conditioning cooled him off and he saw jugs of iced water on every table but the manager pushed him back into the desert saying, “Excuse me sir. You can’t come in here without . . . a neck tie!” Sometimes we have opportunities in our lives we don’t recognise, and often God is at work in our lives, through circumstances, unexpected moments and meetings, providing our needs and we don’t even realise. Perhaps we can look out to see what is happening and where God is at work in the world and us, and be surprised. Susan Pearse, Uniting Church

Shackles off in harness racing H

BY TONY LOGAN

arness Racing Victoria chief executive Dayle Brown has declared ‘the shackles are off’ and encouraged his executive management team to ‘be bold’ as the long-term strategic direction of the industry is developed.

Brown, who started at HRV in November, said harness racing had to meet the market and deliver a product that people want to consume. “You have to look at what drives people to want to participate, what people want to support and what people want to consume,” he said. “You have to be in the front of people’s minds and be ubiquitous – nothing is off the table going forward as we develop our strategy.” Brown has also called on the industry to have its say in the future direction of harness racing, encouraging people to attend one of several consultation sessions across Victoria in coming months. Brown hit the road in late December and January and will continue his visits to regional centres during February. The sessions are open to the wider community and are an opportunity for interested peoples to give feedback to Brown and members of the HRV executive regarding the industry’s direction. “When I go around and talk to the participants

Wednesday, January 29, 2020

it will be great to find out what they want to see. What can we do to stimulate breeding? Race programming – we need to be bold and innovative. Wagering – what do we do in terms of our licence going forward? It’s all up for discussion,” Brown said. Horsham Harness Racing Club will host Brown and HRV representatives tonight. Upcoming sessions in the region are set for Charlton at 6.30pm on Monday and 6.30pm at Stawell on February 10.

Commissioner visit

An invitation is open to the community to meet Victoria’s Racing Integrity Commissioner Sal Perna for a question and answer information session at Horsham RSL from 7pm to 9pm on February 17. The informal session is aimed to provide attendees with a greater understanding and awareness of the role and responsibilities of the commissioner, the work the office has undertaken and an overview of what is in place to ensure that the Victorian Racing Industry operates free from the influence of crime and corruption. This session will be an opportunity to raise any questions and hear first-hand the commissioner’s perspectives on integrity in the racing industry. Questions can be submitted in advance via e-mail to the Office of the Racing Integrity Commissioner rsvp@racingintegrity.vic.gov.au.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

At full strength BY SARAH SCULLY

orsham Hornets will be at full strength when they try to stake their claim on a Country Basketball League grand-final berth on Saturday night.

The Hornets will hit the road to take on Geelong United in a knock-out south-west conference semi-final, and playing coach Tim Pickert believes his side can get the job done. “It’s been good to have a week off and we are looking forward to getting out there,” he said. “It’s the second time all year we’ve had everyone available, which is a good time to have it happen. We’re excited.” The sides have met once this season, with Geelong getting the better of the Hornets by nine points at the start of December. Pickert is confident the Horsham outfit can turn the tables at the weekend. “We were undermanned last time, we didn’t have Jezza McKenzie, Mitch Martin or Sam Breuer,” he said. “Having them back is massive. It will allow us to play much fresher defence. We only had one guard last time, which made it a bit tough.” McKenzie, who has just signed a letter of intent to play college basketball in the United States, has enjoyed a stellar season for the Hornets. He has scored 273 points for the season at an average of 24.82 points a game. McKenzie and Pickert, 342 points at 24.43, have been the Hornets’ key avenues to goal all season, however, the side’s attacking depth is one of its key assets. “If Jezza and I have a quiet night there are

always others who will step up, like Mitch Martin and Matt Lovel in the last game we played,” Pickert said. “When you have a whole team capable of shooting 10 to 15 points each, it’s pretty hard to guard. As a team you can stop a few players from getting a high score, but seven or eight?” Pickert said it would take a team effort for his side to get over the line. He said Geelong was in a similar position with a strong spread of scorers. “Defence will be key,” he said. “We need to be at our best defensively, because we can always score.” Geelong United finished the regular season on top of the ladder, with the Hornets finishing third. “They finished on top and the pressure is on them,” Pickert said. “It’s going to be a tough game but we are confident.” Pickert said there would be a changing of the guard next season, with several players retiring or moving on to higher-level opportunities. “It’s been a tough year getting players to play and train and for a few players, it will quite possibly be their last season with us,” he said. “To make the grand final with this group of players would mean everything.” Horsham Hornets will take on Geelong United at AWA Alliance Bank Stadium at 7pm. The victor will meet the winner of Saturday’s match between Mt Gambier Lakers and Colac Kookas at Mt Gambier. The grand final will be at The Lighthouse, Portland, on February 8.

McKenzie following his dream Gun Horsham basketballer Jeremiah McKenzie will take an important step towards his dream of forging a professional career in the sport when he takes up a scholarship in the United States. McKenzie, 18, will fly to the States in August to join the University of Colorado’s Colorado Springs Mountain Lions program. The six-foot-four guard follows in the footsteps of other exceptional Wimmera basketballers – including Aaron Bruce, Shane McDonald and Chloe Bibby – to take up opportunities in the US collegiate system. McKenzie said playing basketball in the United States would be a dream come true. He said the scholarship offer came as a surprise. “Last year I was part of a Vic Country under-18 team that played a practice match against Vic Metro as a curtain-raiser when Colorado Springs was touring,” he said. “I didn’t realise then that they would be looking at me, but about a month after the game I got an email from the Vic Country coach saying the coach from Colorado Springs wanted to talk to me.” McKenzie travelled to Colorado to tour the campus in December.

Carman’s Windscreens has been the leaders in windscreen and automotive glass replacement since 1953.

Jeremiah McKenzie

“I made my decision based on the tour,” he said. “There will be a lot more training involved, including cardio and weight sessions. I’ll also be studying a four-year sports business management course. “It’s going to be pretty full-on but I’m looking forward to it.” Colorado Springs men’s basketball head coach Jeff Culver said he was thrilled to welcome McKenzie to the Mountain Lion family. McKenzie said before he received a scholarship offer he was looking at basing himself in Ballarat, after graduating from Ballarat Grammar last year, and trying to make an NBL1 team. McKenzie won the Les Hotchin Most Valuable Player accolade in 2019 for his performances for Ballarat Miners Youth before playing in the Big V

Men’s Youth League One Championship team. He has also enjoyed a stellar Country Basketball League season with his home side, the Horsham Hornets, and will be a key player in the team’s semi-final showdown against Geelong United on Saturday night. McKenzie paid tribute to a strong support system that had nurtured his talent from a young age, particularly Horsham basketball legend Owen Hughan. “Owen has basically got me to where I am in basketball today,” he said. “Cam Bruce took me on as a senior Hornet at 14 and helped push me through. Tim Pickert took over as coach this season but he’s been the captain as long as I’ve been playing for the Hornets. He’s one of the better team-mates I’ve played with.” Pickert said McKenzie was an outstanding young talent and he hoped the pair could continue their campaign for a south-west conference title with a win at the weekend. “I remember him and his brother Aussie walking into the stadium when they were only five-foot high,” he said. “Although I’ll be sad to see him go it’s such an exciting opportunity for him.” – Sarah Scully

Hornets raise the bar H

BY SARAH SCULLY

orsham Lady Hornets will again adopt a ‘nothing to lose’ attitude as they look to keep their 201920 Country Basketball League season alive on Saturday night.

The Hornets secured a south-west conference semi-final berth in a tough weekend of basketball against Geelong and Colac, but now face their toughest challenge to date: defeating competition benchmark Warrnambool. The Lady Hornets will look to upset the Mermaids on their home turf at 7pm. Coach Tony Sleep said he was proud of his charges for making it this far after a highly competitive women’s competition. “There’s probably a few people who didn’t even expect us to make it,” he said. “We said against Geelong, and again against Colac, we’ve got nothing to lose, so let’s go out and give it everything we’ve got. We did, and we will go out with the same attitude against Warrnambool.” The Lady Hornets and Mermaids have played in two thrillers this season, with the Mermaids winning both times, by four and nine points respectively. Sleep said his side would need to pull out all the stops – like it did with a season-defining game against Geelong – to secure a spot in the grand final. “They are tall and quick and because it’s at their home court they should have a good crowd,” he said. Sleep said he would watch footage from

“We said against Geelong, and again against Colac, we’ve got nothing to lose, so let’s go out and give it everything we’ve got”

the sides’ previous encounters to come up with a plan of attack. “We’ve been fortunate to have a team manager who records the games,” he said. “If we can minimise a few points here and there it will make a big difference, and considering our last two margins, it would bring us back to an even keel. “We will put a few things in place defensively to nullify a few points.” Sleep said accuracy was among the Mermaids’ strengths, with their three-point shooters ‘many and varied’. “Katie O’Keefe and Louise Brown can shoot three to four three-pointers in the same game and if they get Nicole Gynes back from injury, they will have even more three-point shooters,” he said. “Jae Leddin is very underrated and has had a good year, but then again, so have our girls. We will be right in the contest.” The Lady Hornets trained last night and will have a final session tomorrow night. Sleep said he would look to another strong team effort. He said he expected Faith McKenzie to play a key role, continuing her impressive season. “Even if she’s having an off night she’ll still be really valuable to us,” he said.

“She gets at least 10 points and 10 rebounds a game. Caitlin Dumesny is similar. She slips under a lot of teams’ radars but still bobs up and shoots 15 to 20 points a game.” Sleep said Olivia Jones was playing better as the season went along, peaking at the right time, while Georgia Hiscock was coming off a stellar performance after returning from injury. “Georgia had a really bad ankle injury before Christmas and has been doing everything right to get herself right,” he said. “She’s capable of some high scores, as we saw against Geelong. Then you’ve got Shannon Cross and Kara Shuttleworth, who do a lot of things that don’t show up on the stats sheet. They provide a lot of grunt and toughness for us.” Sleep said his side’s younger players would also have their roles, with Grace Manserra impressing in representative duties in Albury and Imogen Worthy improving each week. “She has been playing short minutes, but they are very effective and the ball is safer and safer in her hands each time she plays,” he said. Sleep said he was thrilled his charges would have an opportunity to play finals. “I’m so happy for the girls, because they’ve worked hard to be there,” he said. “I can’t speak highly enough about them and their culture and how they’ve conducted themselves. “They’ve really raised the bar this season and I’m really excited for them.”

Duo in national titles Horsham has consolidated its reputation for producing elite-level basketballers with teenagers Austin McKenzie and Sam Breuer winning selection to play in Australian junior championships. The pair will represent Victoria Country in an under-18 division in Ballarat in April. They are part of a 10-person team selectors picked after assessing performances at an Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup event in Albury. Horsham Amateur Basketball Association president and renowned coach Owen Hughan said the duo’s selection was impressive considering the ‘massive’ field of players available. “It’s a pretty good effort and a great piece of news on the back of Austin’s brother Jeremiah planning a trip to take up a scholarship in the United States,” he said. The Vic Country team will play against other representative teams from across Australia. Mr Hughan said McKenzie generally played as ‘forward three’ or lighter shooter but would probably end up playing as an off-guard ‘two’ based on his ability to score heavily ‘on the inside’. He said Breuer played as ‘two’ but as he progressed through high-level competition might end up a ‘one’. “I first coached these guys at bottom age when most of the team couldn’t throw the ball to the ring. They copped some horrible floggings, which meant they had to hang in there,” he said. “Since then there have been many coaches helping guide them through various stages and it’s a great credit to them as well as the two players.”

Glider pilots to return An annual week-long Horsham gliding competition starting on Saturday will be a precursor to national titles. Horsham Week, following Victorian Soaring Association cross-country coaching sessions, will be from Saturday to February 8. Some of the best glider pilots in the world will then take part in Gliding Federation of Australia’s Two Seat National Championships in Horsham from February 15 to 22.

Youth Club shores up second spot Y

bowling attack that has taken 17 more wickets than the nearest team. Quicks Matt Heffer, Lachlan Patching and Jayden McCarthy, together with spinner Albert Eldridge will make runs difficult. The Tigers have their own strike bowlers in young Lachlan Dalkin and Michael Armstrong. In other matches, St Andrews travel to Halls Gap and hope to regain momentum after their loss to Youth Club. The Saints will be expecting a better effort with the bat, in order to give themselves a chance of maximum points. Main danger to Gappers’ batsmen Charlie McIntosh and Josh Leith will be Saints bowlers Tom Mills and Michael Harricks. Youth Club is opposed to Chalambar in a match moved to North Park. Chalambar has suffered consecutive outright losses and will need to bring its A game to keep out Youth Club, still keen to finish on top. It is interesting to note that Nic Baird has scored 375 runs out of Youth Club’s 847. This Saturday will also feature a ‘Dad’s Army’ contest when RhymneyMoyston fields six father-son combinations in a B Grade match against Pomonal – a unique occurrence.

BY ONE SHORT

outh Club has resolved a battle for second position in Grampians Cricket Association after dismissing St Andrews for 112 on Saturday, 23 runs short of a Clubbers target.

Chief destroyer for the winners at Ararat’s Alexandra Oval was Clinton Slorach with 3-18, while Abhijeet Verma and Cam Kimber assisted with two wickets each. The win put the Clubbers eight points ahead of the Saints with two home-and-away rounds to play. At North Park in Stawell, Pomonal turned its day-one advantage over Halls Gap into an outright victory and ensure a finals berth. Pomonal now joins the Saints on 22 points. Pomonal took its score from 0-117 to 2-223 thanks to an unbeaten Lynden Brewis 111 and 58 to Lachy Green. Batting a second time after a firstinnings 146, the Gappers managed 108, largely due to Luke Stevens’ 44, while the best of the Tigers bowlers was Lee Oliver with 4-35. Halls Gap’s second knock left the Tigers just 32 runs to complete the second-innings win. Swifts-Great Western increased its lead at the top of the ladder by four points after overrunning Chalambar

TAKE THAT: Pomonal’s Luke Jordan gets on the back foot to punch a ball through offside during a Grampians Cricket Association match at Stawell’s North Park against Halls Gap. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER to win by an innings and 26 runs. Chalambar, which had made 87 the previous week and then watched Swifts-Great Western declare at 8-218, resumed its second knock on Saturday at 3-32. With the Combine’s Jayden McCartney capturing 5-21, Swifts-Great

Western dismissed the home team at Ararat’s Gordon Street Oval for 101. This Saturday features the penultimate round of the season with the feature match being the battle between fourth-placed Pomonal and competition leader Swifts-Great Western at Alexandra Oval.

Pomonal, boosted by an outright win over Halls Gap, will be looking to add the Combine’s scalp to its belt. Much will depend on Tigers Batsman Lynden Brewis, who has hit a purple patch of form with unbeaten scores of 97 and 111 in his last two knocks. But he is coming up against a

Finals are looming F

BY DEAN LAWSON

ebruary 15, March 8 and March 28 are dates looming large and inviting on the horizon in Horsham Cricket Association as teams up the ante in a finals countdown.

Finals in three different formats of the game will be at Horsham City Oval on each of the dates, with a T20 climax getting the ball rolling on February 15 and a one-day 40-over-a-side final on March 8. A two-day final, representing the culmination of all formats of the game on March 28 and 29, reflects the biggest premiership on offer for the season. What the trio of finals means is that there are a couple of prizes still up for grabs and spurring leading teams to the season’s end. Combatants for the one-day final are already decided with Homers and Horsham Saints locked in for the clash. Cricketers will launch into the third and final instalment of T20 fixtures on Saturday, with Rupanyup-Minyip setting the pace in a lightning format of the game, which has helped elevate its position overall. The Blue Panthers have won all four of their T20 games so far, settling them on top of a T20 ladder and in second place in combined-format standings. This Saturday, Rupanyup-Minyip, fresh from beating Noradjuha-Toolondo and Colts, meets Blackheath-Dimboola and Laharum at Horsham City Oval. Runaway overall competition leader Homers meets Laharum and Noradjuha-Toolondo at Horsham Sunnyside, and Horsham Saints are up against Blackheath-Dimboola and Colts at Dudley Cornell Park. Jung Tigers appear to have slipped from finals contention and meets Noradjuha-Toolondo and Colts as part of the double-header at the city oval. A week before teams head into two-games to finish the home-and-away season, Justtin

Rivalry under lights for Anzac Day Football and netball clubs with an historic rivalry will play under lights in an Anzac Day match at Natimuk later this year. Horsham District league clubs Natimuk United and NoradjuhaQuantong are set to play for the first Arapiles Cup as part of the occasion.

Sport

The broad Arapiles community, as well as having a history of connectivity and rivalry, also has a well-documented history of providing soldiers for armed service in major wars. Games between the Natimuk United Rams and Noradjuha-Quantong Bombers are often

highlights of the district league season. Natimuk United also has a direct link with returned service men and women through its association with former Horsham United club, which traces part of its foundation to returned soldiers of the Second World War.

Club representatives are busy working on scheduling to fit in with rules surrounding Anzac Day and other details. Natimuk United officials are also proposing striking a Mountain Cup for a night match against Laharum in the final round of the season.
