Asthma-camp battle BY SARAH SCULLY

immera Asthma Camp organisers have vowed to fight to keep the state’s only asthma camp for primary schoolaged children up and running after Asthma Australia announced it was pulling its support.

A committee of volunteers has hosted the annual event for youth aged six to 12 at Halls Gap each spring since the early 1990s. Long-time camp volunteer and respiratory nurse educator Heather Macdonald said a lack of funding and clinical support left the committee members with no choice but to enter the camp into recess for 2018.

“We’re very disappointed but given the circumstances we know we won’t be able to run the camp this October,” she said. “The decision was unanimous to continue to work towards bringing back the camp next year. “We are determined not to let it fold and will keep working towards sourcing funding, insurance and clinical governance.” The annual Wimmera camp has educated between 20 and 35 children with asthma – and their families – from across the Wimmera and the wider state for more than 25 years. “The camps started under the guidance and support of Asthma Founda-

tion Victoria with the aim to provide children and their families with a sound education of asthma, including its symptoms and management of exacerbations,” Ms Macdonald said. “The Wimmera Asthma Camp used to be one of many across Victoria, but for the past 10 years, it has been the only one still running.” Ms Macdonald said until this year, Asthma Foundation Victoria had supported the camp financially and through clinical governance. The change in circumstances follows a merger between Asthma foundations of Victoria, ACT, NSW, South Australia and Queensland in October last year to become Asthma Australia Ltd.

Ms Macdonald said a representative from Asthma Australia’s Victoria office contacted the Wimmera committee to discuss how the merger would affect the Wimmera camp. She said the committee answered specific questions about the camp, its staff, education and purpose before several members met with Asthma Australia leaders to further discuss the event, along with alternative options. “Some of these alternatives were a weekly group, or use of Asthma Australia Ltd’s online education and support,” Ms Macdonald said. “Due to the distance many of our campers come to attend the annual

camp, a weekly group would exclude many previous and potential children attending. “Due to the vagarity of rural digital and internet connections, online applications might also be difficult to use on a regular basis, and cannot replace face-to-face education and support, local knowledge of environmental conditions and available local services.” Ms Macdonald said the committee was extremely disappointed to receive an email from Asthma Australia Ltd stating the organisation would no longer provide financial support or clinical governance for the camp.

PUBLIC NOTICES 29 August 2018

Members needed for rates committee Horsham Rural City Council is seeking expressions of interest from people to join a new Rates Strategy Advisory Committee. Councillors at Monday night’s Ordinary Meeting voted to proceed with a Rates Strategy Review Project which will be delivered ahead of the 2019-20 Budget. The nine-person Committee, working alongside an independent consultant, will play a key role in shaping the way rates are calculated. Chief Executive Officer Sunil Bhalla said the review was in response to strong opinion expressed from the farming sector after the 2018-19 Rates Strategy consultation period had closed. “Council voted not to make any significant adjustments to the Rates Strategy until sufficient consultation had been conducted with all sectors of the community,” Mr Bhalla said. “It would have been unfair to impose rate rises on the residential, commercial and industrial sectors without consulting with them. “Instead, Council resolved to have a detailed and independent review undertaken

where everyone can share their opinion.

“A key outcome is to achieve a fair and equitable distribution of the rate burden across all sectors of the community,” he said.

Rates Strategy Review

Mr Bhalla said he hoped the review would help to clarify details in the current rate strategy. “Some people don’t understand that it’s a closed system, so if you want someone to pay less, someone else has to pay more in order to maintain Council services each year. “Issues of fairness and equity are judgemental in nature, complex and subjective. The matter is not simple or black and white and proper consideration needs to be given to the relative questions of what is fair and what is not. Fairness will differ depending upon an individual’s view on matters. “It’s about hearing what people have to say,” he said. Mr Bhalla said people from all sectors of the community were encouraged to apply for membership on the Advisory Committee.

Council adopts Youth Strategy Horsham Rural City Council adopted its Youth Strategy at Monday night’s Ordinary Meeting. The Strategy’s endorsement means Council can now implement a future-ready plan for Horsham municipality with the vision to be “a youth-friendly rural city, with engaged and empowered young people who have access to the services and opportunities they need for a healthy, safe and happy life”. The development of this Strategy follows extensive consultation with young people, schools, community organisations local youth agencies and the general community.

“A diverse Committee will be sought that provides both gender equity and ages representative of the general adult population,” he said. “The committee will, as far as practical, be composed of representatives proportionate to the share of rates paid by each sector.” It is envisaged that the committee will meet between four and six times over a two-month period from 1 October 18 to 7 December 18. Expressions of interest for joining the Committee close Monday 10 September 2018 at 5pm and can be submitted online at hrcc.vic.gov.au or by completing forms available from the Civic Centre, Roberts Avenue, Horsham.

Director Community Services Kevin O’Brien said the Strategy had been out for public consultation throughout July. “A total of 43 submissions and comments were received and we thank those people for their valuable feedback,” Mr O’Brien said. “We also had 325 people, including 200 young people, who participated in the first consultation period back in April.” The Strategy will see a transition away from the centre-based model delivered through Nexus to an internal youth officer who will be well placed to deliver on emerging priorities and coordinate engagement with young people. “This is a significant change and we acknowledge the important work of Grampians Community Health and its Nexus program over the past 10 years,” Mr O’Brien said. “The new direction will allow HRCC to respond to the diverse and changing needs of all of its young people now and into the future.” Visit the HRCC website to download a copy of the Strategy.

Saleyards for the future

Horsham Rural City Council is looking for a customer focused leader to co-ordinate the Home Support team.

The Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange is the fourth largest sheep and lamb market in the state and along with the livestock industry is a strong economic driver for the region.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively to develop, support and implement current and new service projects. They will also provide effective operational management and leadership.

Numbers have been fantastic for this time of the year with last month the second best July on record. Prices for stock are constantly breaking records with quality stock consigned to the facility. Most recently a pen of lambs sold to a top of $270 per head which is a fantastic result for the vendor and a boost for confidence in the livestock industry including our saleyards as a viable selling option. If farmers in the Wimmera are making money it has such a positive impact on retail, business and industry confidence in the region.

CONTRACT No. 19/007 Council invites tenders from suitably equipped suppliers for the supply and delivery of asphalt, bituminous cold mix, bulk emulsion CRS 170 for use on various Council roads within the Municipality. Tenders close 2pm Wednesday 19 September.

Applications close 5pm Monday 3 September

Saleyards operate in complex economic, environmental and regulatory arrangements. Our facility currently is self-funding and covers its own costs without creating a liability to the broader community. To meet the challenges facing all saleyards across the country, including other marketing options, we need to upgrade infrastructure, adopt best practise technology and maintain our reputation as a high quality modern marketing choice for farmers to sell their stock. The saleyard selling system has always been the true market indicator of stock. Council, along with the Board of Management, is planning for our facility to be totally undercover in line with industry expectation, a benchmark standard. This significant upgrade will deliver enormous benefits such as improved animal welfare and presentation of stock, better occupational health and safety and human welfare, reduced cleaning costs, the ability to harvest water for re-use and improved lighting. For the saleyards to remain viable it is crucial to maintain significant throughput, consistently achieve fair market price while continuing to be Council owned and operated.

Ideally this person would have extensive experience in Home Support and Care, with an ability to lead and manage a great team of staff during a period of change in Home Services provision.

CONTRACT No. 19/004

Broad and Tehan front and centre W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera-Mallee and Western District political representatives are set to play an influential role in national governance as part of the Federal Government’s leadership change and ministerial shake-up.

Liberal Member for Wannon Dan Tehan, 50, and Nationals Member for Mallee Andrew Broad, 43, have won portfolios in Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s new ministry. Mr Tehan, who represents Ararat and Stawell districts as well as much of south-west Victoria, will change from Social Services Minister to Education Minister.

Mr Broad, whose electorate covers most of north-west Victoria, is the new Assistant Minister to Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack. Mr Broad’s ministerial appointment is a first for a Member for Mallee. Mr Tehan said he was honoured and humbled with his appointment as Education Minister. “Our children are our future and it is critically important the government continues to ensure every Australian child gets the best possible education,” he said. Mr Tehan, with offices in Hamilton and Warrnambool and who has also had previous ministerial positions including Defence Personnel, Veter-

ans’ Affairs and Defence Materiel and with a tertiary background in political science, international relations and foreign affairs, said he was proud of what he had achieved with the Social Services portfolio. He also stressed that he remained a dedicated representative of Wannon. “The best form of welfare is a job and this government has delivered a strong economy and record jobs growth,” he said. “In Social Services, I have concentrated on helping people off welfare and into work. “My number-one priority will continue to be advocating on behalf of the people of Wannon.

“I will ensure their views are strongly represented in the Australian Parliament. It is only because of their faith in me that I have been given this opportunity.”

Tremendous honour

Mr Broad, a Bridgewater farmer and former Victorian Farmers Federation president with headquarters in Mildura and Swan Hill, said he was looking forward to working with the new Morrison-McCormack government. He said he would ‘hit the ground running’ in the next few weeks. “This new role is a tremendous honour, and I am looking forward to serving even more regional Australians across our country,” he said.

“My new responsibilities will include assisting with infrastructure, transport and regional development alongside Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack. “This is a portfolio I am passionate about and gives great opportunity to afford regional Australians better outcomes for their communities and their families including the people in the great electorate of Mallee.” The ministerial changes, which came into effect yesterday, were the result of a successful leadership challenge that led to Scott Morrison replacing Malcolm Turnbull as Australian Prime Minister.

Asthma plea From page 1 “We were informed that: “Asthma Australia is in a period of transformation, where we are looking at how best we can spend our limited resources. In particular, the Victorian government has not continued its funding to the Victorian office for community actions as a results of the Thunderstorm Asthma episode,” Ms Macdonald said. “They also stated, via email, that it is inappropriate for us to use the Asthma Victoria branding or any materials, or do any fundraising in their name for the camp. We requested Asthma Australia prepare and distribute a media release regarding cessation of their involvement in the Wimmera Asthma Camp so we can let people know there won’t be a camp this year. This has not been done to date.” Ms Macdonald said the camp committee would attempt to source clinical governance, insurance and financial support from other sources. She said the committee fundraised about $8000 a year to run the camp. “Insurance is another $3000 to $5000 on top of that,” she said. “We could probably raise the money, but it is the clinical governance they provide that we can’t do without. It validates what we do – they make sure we are providing the correct information and go about things in the right way. “If children with asthma have sound asthma education and self-management strategies taught to them and this knowledge is enhanced at repeated camps, they will be able to call on this knowledge throughout their entire lives.” Ms Macdonald said people who were interested in providing financial or clinical governance support for the camp could email horshambran chasthma016@gmail.com.

Migrant work boost BY DEAN LAWSON

igrants looking for work and businesses on the hunt for staff in the Wimmera are set to benefit from a major financial commitment from the State Government.

A Nhill-based community support organisation has won $480,000 in government backing for a project designed to connect Wimmera businesses with migrant employees. The funding means Nhill Learning Centre, which has forged a reputation for its work with refugee migrants in the west Wimmera, can employ extra staff members for a $640,000 region-wide connective program. Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the government would provide support for the Wimmera CALD Diverse Workforce Industry Partnership Project. CALD stands for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse. The partnership will involve 15 employment organisations and about 150 CALD employees. The funding will go towards the Nhill centre employing a workforce development officer and a multi-lingual liaison officer to provide services to CALD employees and prospective employers across the Wimmera. The project is designed to identify skill gaps and create learning plans for CALD employees while exploring future employment and education pathways. It will have an aim to establish workforce diversity and provide

businesses with labour to meet workforce requirements based on business growth.

Happy

Delighted Nhill Learning Centre executive officer Annette Creek said the announcement meant the centre would now have the necessary resources to increase program potential and capacity. “Because of our work in this space people were looking to us for expertise and our resources were well and truly stretched,” she said. “We knew from what everyone was saying to us, including employers, that we had to increase our reach. This now gives us the resourcing needed to establish a strong and worthwhile project.” Ms Creek stressed the project was designed to meet needs across the Wimmera. “To have this kind of funding available is terrific and rare. It is to provide links for migrants and employers across the region. We’ve taken this on because we have developed an expertise working with refugees and employers in our communities,” she said. Nhill Learning Centre continues to play an integral role in supporting the needs of the community, especially migrant workers, many of them Karen refugees that have primarily settled in Nhill district. In 2009 Nhill duck-production business Luv-A-Duck responded to a labour shortage by encouraging Karen refugees from Burma, also known as Myanmar, to settle in Nhill. With company and community

y t i c i r t c e l e S l a sh s t o d ay bi l l

support, the Karen community has grown to make up eight percent of the town’s population. Ms Pulford said with the Wimmera’s ageing and decreasing population, many employers were experiencing labour and skill shortages. She said attracting migrants to the region had proven to be a successful way to tackle the problem. “We’re so proud to support the Wimmera in its successful and ongoing efforts to develop skills to meet the needs of local employers,” she said. Hindmarsh Shire Council, Australian Wildflowers, West Wimmera Health Service, Sherwell Ahrens Manufacturing, Oscars Furniture Manufacturing, G and M. Kennedy and Toh Mae Pah are also supporting the project.

Cultural hub

The west Wimmera has also been a major beneficiary of State Government funding through a Living Libraries Infrastructure Program. The government has allocated $600,000 for West Wimmera Shire Council’s Edenhope Cultural and Community Hub, providing the $1.8-million to $2-million project with a financial green light to proceed. The project involves the redevelopment of a Mechanics Institute hall in Elizabeth Street into a cultural centre that will provide library, tourism promotion and civic services. It will feature a community function space, meeting rooms and facilities for outreach and visiting service organisations.

FAMILY AFFAIR: Five generations of the Price family participated in the third annual Horsham A Walk in the Park event, which shows support for people living with Parkinson’s disease.

Overwhelming support Wimmera Parkinson’s Peer Support Group members were thrilled with support for Sunday’s A Walk in the Park event, which raises money for research into the degenerative disease. Group publicity officer Rene Vivian said this year’s walk, at Horsham’s Weir Park, raised between $3500 and $4000, including $750 in donations on the day. “We had 102 walkers and two dogs registered,” she said. “It was the best walk. We’ve never had that many people before – we usually get about 40.” Member for Lowan Emma Kealy cut a ribbon to launch the Horsham

walk, now in its third year. The Horsham event coincides with a Melbourne walk, celebrating its 10th anniversary. A Walk in the Park is Australia’s largest community event dedicated to supporting people with Parkinson’s to lead full and active lives. Parkinson’s is a chronic and progressive neurological condition. In Victoria alone more than 27,000 people are living with the condition, with 30 more diagnosed every day. People can call John McRoberts on 5382 6712 for more information about Wimmera Parkinson’s Peer Support Group.

Looking to the sun to turn industry wheels

When the motors are running and the sparks are flying in an engineering workshop, the last thing you want to be thinking about is the amount of power you are using and how much it is going to cost. That’s the type of thinking that provided Adrian Jaeschke, 33, of Tarranyurk, with the motivation to explore his energy options.

SOLAR SAVINGS: Adrian, Sharnie and William, 7 months, Jaeschke at Tarranyurk, have taken the plunge to install a 33kW Solis solar system.

Adrian, who runs Jaeschke Engineering as a sideline business next door to Grainrite at Tarranyurk, where his main job is production manager, has turned to nuclear power. But before you start getting concerned about what’s happening on the road between Dimboola and Jeparit, the power we are talking about is coming from our solar system’s largest fusion reactor – the sun. Adrian is not only taking advantage of the enormous amount of readily available energy from the sun, to cover costs of hard-facing agricultural shears, but is experiencing such a good offset in costs that he is finding himself financially ‘well in front’. With help and direction from Wade’s in Horsham, Adrian took the plunge last year to install a significant 33kW Solis solar system, which included 120 solar panels installed on the roof of a 12 x 24-metre shed. The system also came with a 10-year warranty.

“Energy costs are really crippling people at the moment and I was keen to look at what options were available,” he said. “Because I had three-phase power I could go with a big set-up. “It was all based on scale, and after it was installed in September the benefits were soon obvious. “Apart from covering energy costs, at the height of summer it was actually making me about $600 a month from power being returned to the grid.

“Obviously this went down as we approached winter, but the key is that it all evens out and will mean we’re absolutely miles in front by the end of the year, based on the power I’m using. “I have my air-conditioner and all my computer equipment going 24-7, as well as using the welders, grinders and general electrical equipment.” Adrian, who with his wife Sharine have a six-week-old son William, said his decision to install the solar system was based

on a long-term plan and their individual circumstance.

Adrian said Wade’s had made the process seem simple and seamless.

“I was looking at the next five to 10 years, and as far as a long-term plan goes, it was both affordable and made sense in my situation,” he said.

“Wade’s has been really good. Adrian Wade is fabulous to work with. I can’t speak more highly of him,” he said.

“Having the system in place has just made life a whole lot easier. “We don’t have to think about how big our electrical bill will be every month. It is something we just don’t need to worry about any more.”

Jaeschke Engineering might only be a sideline for Adrian, but his work on shears is winning broad praise from his clients and his integration of solar-energy appears likely to help him strongly push his fledgling business forward.

Population shift ideas Pedal boat proposal PICK MY PROJECT

State Government allocation of almost half a million dollars to help Nhill Learning Centre connect migrants with potential employers in the region is welcome news.

Encouraging migrants to fill skill shortages and call the Wimmera home and providing help with that process makes a lot of sense. It is money well justified that will be well spent. Hopefully the concept expands. This is the type of project that needs to happen if the state is serious about tackling a lop-sided Victorian population spread. But the truth is, it really only represents the tip of the iceberg of what should be happening and only part of a broader issue. It seems ridiculous in a modern Victoria that we have anxiety about a growing mass of humanity clogging up Melbourne when the rest of the state is calling out for people.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson, editor

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but something remains terribly amiss and needs a comprehensive repair job. Encouraging people to look beyond the concrete and bitumen of metropolitan centres to set up new lives is all well and good in theory. The reality is, it’s a big deal to uproot the family and leave the multitude of services and attractions on offer in a big city to relocate to the unknown of the sticks. We know it’s good to live here but we also know that there are plenty of things we don’t have and do without. The simple ‘great lifestyle’ message might be okay in encouraging some to

move, but it holds little weight unless there are profound systems and processes and critically, opportunities, in place. The Victorian Opposition has declared its hand in backing a concept of decentralisation, in whatever form that might mean. Explanations of its fix-it plan are a tad shallow. We need some more details please. The State Government’s funding for the migrant program has left us guessing on its stand. It’s admitting regional populations are ageing and diminishing but seems preoccupied with what’s happing in Melbourne and its fringes. Knock knock? Who’s there? Us! What we know in our part of the world is that while telecommunications have reduced many of the tyrannies of distance, as people we seem to be getting further apart. We need people and need plans to attract people. It’s as simple, and as complicated, as that.

Feliks sets pace at inaugural event Rubik’s Cube speedcuber and world record holder Feliks Zemdegs won five sections at an inaugural Horsham West Speedcubing competition on Saturday. Zemdegs won the 3x3x3, 2x2x2, 4x4x4, 5x5x5 and the 3x3x3 cube one-handed sections. He averaged a time of 6.5 seconds for the standard 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube with a best time of 5.55 seconds. Jack Cai set a new Oceanic record for the 3x3x3 cube of 21.05 seconds in the competition. Organiser Michelle Watson said the day went incredibly well. “Competitors travelled from Hobart, Sale, Gisborne, Melbourne, Adelaide, Ballarat and Kaniva to take part in the event, alongside local cubers,” she said. “A highlight for many of the first-time cubers was meeting Feliks Zemdegs and seeing him and many other top-level cubers compete.” World Cubing Association delegates Ethan Pride and Liam Sweet ran the event

Horsham councillor Mark Radford is seeking support for a Pick My Project proposal to fund pedal boats for the Wimmera River. Cr Radford said he, along with Horsham Rural City Council staff, had put forward a funding proposal for 10 pedal boats for the municipality. “Activating our river in Horsham has been talked about for a long time,” he said. “With our new pedestrian bridge, the leasing of the caravan park, planning for a café and other recent improvements, we are seeing our river, in Horsham, being appreciated and used more and more. “One suggestion has been to have some pedal boats for friends and families to use and enjoy, during the warmer months of the year.” Cr Radford said the $60,000 project would include 10 Sundolphin pedal boats, life jackets, a purpose-built trailer to transport the boats, signs, stickers and initial administration costs. “It is a funding criteria that the pedal boats can’t be used to ‘make a profit’ for a business or individual,” he said.

“They can, however, be hired out to cover their own costs. The council would own the boats, trailer and life jackets and there will be an opportunity for service clubs to be involved in the supervision during the hire-out period.” Cr Radford encouraged the community to get behind the State Government’s Pick My Project concept. “Project ideas are put by community members and the community ‘votes’ for their favourite project to be funded,” he said. “If there is one thing that has long-lasting benefits in our community, it is families and friends spending time and enjoying activities ‘together’ – activities that are attractive for young people are particularly valuable for providing life-long memories of weekends or times away on holidays.” People can visit pickmyproject. vic.gov.au for more information about projects in their region or to vote by September 13. • Wimmera groups seeking support for their Pick My Project concept can email information about their project to sarahs@team. aceradio.com.au.

Horsham Table Tennis Association leaders have called on the community to ‘vote’ for a facilities upgrade at the organisation’s new headquarters. Association member Jeff Pekin said the group’s Pick My Project application had progressed to the next stage and was available to be voted on. Pick My Project is a Victorianfirst community grants program, with funding of at least $1-million for each metropolitan and regional area. The Horsham Table Tennis Association project includes restoration and refurbishment of the association’s new home in Harriet Street, to ensure the building is at a ‘minimum safe standard’ for table tennis and other community activities. The project will include wall and floor repairs, upgraded indoor lighting to the minimum standard for table tennis and outdoor security lighting. It will also involve investigating and repairing building stormwater and sewer drainage issues. “The key activities at the cen-

tre will be table tennis, a dance school and other community activities such as meeting rooms and a function centre,” Mr Pekin said. “Table tennis users, including abled and disabled players, elderly players and schools will have access to a safe facility. “The dance school will cater for junior and senior dancers of all ages.” Horsham Table Tennis Association provides programs for able-bodied and disabled players, elderly adults, primary and secondary schools programs and elite-player coaching programs. The centre will also cater for dance classes for all ages, community group meeting rooms, a community function centre and space for U3A – University of the Third Age – courses. “The centre will also be available for sundry community activities on an as-required basis,” Mr Pekin said. People can visit pickmyproject. vic.gov.au and search Horsham Table Tennis Centre to vote by September 17.

Tiny hearing aids provide comfort, performance and user discretion Invisible and discreet hearing aids are now a reality and they are not only for the rich and famous. Tiny hearing aids are no longer a compromise for performance and they are also more affordable. With the great improvements in digital technology, hearing aid feedback management, laser made shells, and very small yet powerful speakers, we are now able to offer an affordable solution for the many people for whom the thought of wearing hearing aids that others may notice is off-putting and stops them from leading a full and active life. For the first time and only for a LIMITED time we are able to offer the Passion Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) hearing aids to eligible pensioners and DVA card holders with no out of pocket expense*. This normally involves an out-of-pocket payment of $1060. Passion, one of the world’s smallest hearing aids to sit behind the ear, proves that advanced technology can also look good. Ultra-small, incredibly comfortable to wear, stylish and discreet - Passion is all of the above. These devices are smaller because the receiver – or the loudspeaker – is placed in the ear-tip instead of the housing. Sound is sent directly from the housing behind your ear through a thin wire to the receiver which is in your ear canal. Not only do they provide outstanding sound, they are discreet and are fully automatic. All you need to do is make an appointment at one of our conveniently located clinics for a hearing assessment. One of our HearClear Audiology hearing specialists will be able to advise you on the most appropriate devices for your hearing loss. If size is of importance to you, then we can show you our range of discreet devices, including our invisible options. For an appointment please contact HearClear Audiology on 08 8762 3262.

Wakakirri state title in reach A

Early years program extension

BY SARAH SCULLY

reflection on experiences of the Stolen Generation has won Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College students an opportunity to vie for a state title.

Twenty-five students from years seven to 11 are off to Melbourne after cleaning up at a regional final of Australia’s largest performing arts event for schools, the Wakakirri dance story competition. Nine award-winning schools will compete for the Story of the Year 2018 title at The Palais, St Kilda, on September 11. Holy Trinity Lutheran College is among two regional schools to qualify for the final. The college has already won the competition’s Best Indigenous Australian Story accolade for its ‘The Colour is Within’ piece. The piece collected four awards at the regional final in Bendigo: Best individual costume design, best lighting design and sound call, best creative use of the signature item, and Spirit of Wakakirri. The Holy Trinity team also received four performance and production nominations: Excellent ensemble, well-rehearsed performance, amazing moment and excellent theme-concept. Holy Trinity Wakakirri co-ordinator Tanya Mock was thrilled with the result. “We are all very excited to have the opportunity to tell our beautiful story again,” she said. “We really love our unique and powerful illustration of such a moving true story of our indigenous people. “To have the opportunity to tell this

story again and to honour the Aboriginal people of our land, that is what motivates us.” The Colour is Within reflects on the experiences of children of the Stolen Generation. Mrs Mock said difference in appearance and behaviour could be challenging for some. “But we can only be united and share in the process of reconciliation when we believe in each other,” she said. “We always attend with the intention of telling a good story. When so much time, effort and cost is invested, you want to honour those who’ve provided the opportunity by doing the best you can at the time.” Mrs Mock and the students started working on their Wakikirri entry at the start of the year, devoting two

lunch times a week to the project. The process involved creating, processing concepts, researching the theme and polishing the story. Students also needed to source their own costumes and use glow paint to create their own unique pattern. Mrs Mock said the glow paint also showed the qualities individuals had within them were always present. “It’s just if you’re open-minded to see them or not,” she said.

Positive attitude

Mrs Mock said rehearsals had been great. “The students have such a positive attitude towards creating and learning,” she said. “To see each of them grow in their skillset and abilities has been wonderful. “All time allocated to Wakakirri is

A new era in the provision of early years programs in Hindmarsh Shire will start in 2019 with new services at Dimboola, Nhill, Jeparit and Rainbow. Horsham and District Kindergarten Association will provide kindergarten and childcare programs at Dimboola and Nhill and kindergarten services at Jeparit and Rainbow. The association will take over services currently provided by Uniting, which has been responsible for early-years education in Hindmarsh Shire for almost 20 years. Hindmarsh Shire mayor Ron Ismay, when announcing the change of service provider, thanked Uniting for its service and welcomed Horsham and District Kindergarten Association as the new service provider. He said the association would work with the council and Uniting to ensure a smooth transition between service providers. The council has invited families to attend information sessions to learn more about what this change means for them and how to enrol in services for 2019. Sessions will be at Dimboola today, Jeparit on Monday and Rainbow on September 5. A Nhill session was yesterday. People seeking more information can call the council’s community development co-ordinator Simon Landrigan on 5391 4444 or email slandrigan@ hindmarsh.vic.gov.au.

in the students’ own time, including school holidays – especially for our tech students.” Holy Trinity Lutheran College has participated in the Wakakirri challenge for the past three years, since Mrs Mock joined the school’s performing arts department. The school previously participated in the competition’s primary challenge. “A couple of the stories got through to this level,” Mrs Mock said. “This is our second story in the secondary challenge, so to make it through to the state awards night is a huge achievement. “The college has also been promoted to division two for future competitions, reflecting the effort of staff and students that has gone into the production of this story.”

Council seeks rates advisers H

orsham Rural City Council has called for expressions of interest for a new rates strategy advisory committee following extensive community concern about an ‘unfair and inequitable’ system.

Councillors have been divided over the 2018-19 budget and rating strategy, which includes an average 11.8 percent rate increase for the farm sector and a 0.6 percent decrease for the residential sector. Two councillors fought to reduce the rural sector’s farm-rate burden, with several farmers reporting rate increases of between 30 and 60 percent based on early valuation estimates. Councillors engaged in at-times heated debates throughout the budget process before adopting the documents as presented. Mayor Pam Clarke said in June that ‘to be asked to significantly change our rating system and budget after the consultation process has been completed is just not possible or appropriate’. “Council has committed to do a full rate review prior to the next budget and

assess the implications any shift in our rating strategy will have on each sector of our community,” she said. At a meeting on Monday night, councillors voted to proceed with a Rates Strategy Review Project, to be completed ahead of the council’s 2019-20 budget. Residents can apply for a position on a nine-person committee that will work alongside an independent consultant. The committee will play a key role in shaping the way rates are calculated. Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the review was in response to strong opinion expressed from the farming sector after the 2018-19 rates strategy consultation period had closed. “Council voted not to make any significant adjustments to the rates strategy until sufficient consultation had been conducted with all sectors of the community,” he said. “It would have been unfair to impose rate rises on the residential, commercial and industrial sectors without consulting with them. “Instead, council resolved to have a

“Some people do not understand that it’s a closed system, so if you want someone to pay less, someone else has to pay more in order to maintain council services each year ”

– Sunil Bhalla

detailed and independent review undertaken where everyone can share their opinion. “A key outcome is to achieve a fair and equitable distribution of the rate burden across all sectors of the community.” Mr Bhalla said he hoped the review would help clarify details in the current rate strategy. “Some people don’t understand that it’s a closed system, so if you want someone to pay less, someone else has to pay more in order to maintain council services each year,” he said. “Issues of fairness and equity are

judgmental in nature, complex and subjective. “The matter is not simple or black and white and consideration needs to be given to the relative questions of what is fair and what is not. “Fairness will differ depending upon an individual’s view on matters. “It’s about hearing what people have to say.” Mr Bhalla encouraged people from all sectors of the community to apply for the advisory committee. “A diverse committee will be sought that provides both gender equity and ages representative of the general adult population,” he said. “The committee will, as far as is practical, be composed of representatives proportionate to the share of rates paid by each sector.” Mr Bhalla said the committee would meet between four and six times from October 1, 2018 to December 7, 2018. Expressions of interest close at 5pm on September 10 and can be completed online at hrcc.vic.gov.au or in person at Horsham Civic Centre in Roberts Avenue.

FIVE-DAY forecast

Dress for a farmer day Horsham students will dress like a farmer, for farmers, on Friday. Horsham schools are pitching in to help farmers doing it tough, with money raised to go to drought-relief charities. Horsham, Horsham West and Haven, Laharum and Natimuk primary schools are participating in the fundraiser. Students are encouraged to wear farm-style clothing and bring a gold coin donation. Horsham College will have a ‘Flanny for a Farmer’ freedress day. Students are encouraged to dress in their favourite flannelette shirt and bring a gold coin donation. New South Wales and Queensland are bearing the brunt of the drought, although farmers in Victoria, South Australia and Queensland are also suffering.

Ahchow’s grand vision

reat Western businessman Danial Ahchow has vowed to make the town’s Salinger’s Café a must-do dining destination after purchasing the business.

The Great Western Enterprises managing director also owns Great Western Hotel and manages Seppelt Wines cellar door and functions operations. Mr Ahchow said he bought the Salinger’s Café freehold with a vision to increasing the town’s food and beverage offerings. “Great Western is fast becoming a food and wine mecca and Salinger’s is an integral part of this picture,” he said.

“We have people travel from all over to Great Western to explore the produce from this beautiful part of the world. We can see a juxtaposition with the history of Salinger’s building with its exposed brickwork and Victorian decor, with modern dining options that you’d see in any cafe from Collingwood or Fitzroy.” Emmanuel Salinger built an original wooden general store on the site in 1862. In 1899, the wooden building was moved back to make way for a new brick general store and residence. Mr Salinger was one of Great Western’s original vine growers in the 1880s.

His daughter Elena later went on to marry Charles Pierlot, a famous champagne-maker employed by Hans Irvine, who once owned Seppelt Winery. Mr Salinger died in 1911 and his daughters Maud and Henrietta ran the business until 1940. The Salinger family owned the business for 78 years. “We are developing an exceptional regional wine list for the cafe, that will obviously include the Seppelt Salinger sparkling wines, named after the original owners of the building,” Mr Ahchow said. “We have been lucky enough to secure two of the region’s best up-and-coming chefs.

“Bryden Buckingham from Ararat is eager to showcase his passion for local, fresh produce with an ever-changing menu. He has worked in the Grampians region for the past six years and is looking forward to making his mark on Salinger’s. “Renowned local chef Katie Leeke is staying on and continuing to deliver her exquisite dishes and high international standards.” Great Western Enterprises will operate Salinger’s from September 1. The café will be open seven days a week from 7am until 4pm, and will be available for PASSION FOR PRODUCE: Salinger’s Café chefs private dinner functions. Katie Leeke and Bryden Buckingham.

Northern Grampians Shire Council has released several key statistics and information about projects, planning and funding gained in the past quarter. Mayor Tony Driscoll said it had been an exciting period for the shire, with a combination of successful grant applications and completed projects. “Of course we are always planning to procure more grants and funding to increase the livability and tourism to the region,” he said. Community strengthening projects for the past quarter included State Government funding of $600,000 for a brand new multi-purpose sporting facility at North Park; a $100,000 age-friendly grant to deliver the shire’s Positive Ageing Strategy over two years; and a $16,000 anti-graffiti artwork project in partnership with Victoria Police and Stawell Secondary College. The council gave away more than $10,000 through its community grants program. Capital works projects that were completed at St Arnaud in the past quarter included upgrades of footpaths in McMahon and Canterbury streets; Millett Street kerb and channel; Woolpack Road intersection; and a shade sail for Market Square. The council also issued 25 planning permits in the last quarter at a total value of $3.6-million, with $144,100 granted as part of the shire’s Business Assistance Scheme and a $24-million economic impact expected from that figure.

Theatre update West Wimmera Health Service has had an extensive review of renovation works planned for Nhill Hospital’s operating theatre. The health group temporarily closed the theatre earlier this year after routine maintenance identified the asset required more extensive structural works. Works will include modifications to a heating and cooling system, including how the theatre’s air is filtered, a new equipment and stock storage system, and ultimately remodelling of an instrument-cleaning flow to ensure the service meets the highest safety standards possible. An architect and mechanical engineer have been working with the health group to prepare work specifications with the tender process to appoint a principal building contractor underway. Chief executive Ritchie Dodds said preparation and planning for theatre renovations had been important to ensure the updated theatre was in line with new safety and quality-related operating-theatre standards. “The project is a key priority to allow us to meet our community’s needs for locally delivered surgical services by visiting specialists well into the future,” he said. “Anticipation is that theatre renovations will be finished in early 2019. “We thank the community for their patience and understanding and we’ll continue to keep people informed of developments as and when they arise.” Wednesday, August 29, 2018

Fun for the whole family Horsham Operation 19:14 committee members will reflect on the success of Sunday’s extravaganza while planning for future events. More than 180 adult volunteers and youth group members joined forces to pull off the large-scale free family-fun day for Wimmera children. Committee member Yolande Grosser said support for this year’s event at Sawyer Park was outstanding. “It went so well. It was such a beautiful day,” she said. “We had more than 1400 children pick up goodie bags and we cooked every one of the thousand donuts and 1500 sausages we had.” The Operation 19:14 committee features members of Horsham’s combined churches. The unique outreach event focuses on ‘bringing the community together to celebrate God’s gift of children and families’. Mrs Grosser said performances from

regional entertainers was a highlight of the day. “We had dancers from Ss Michael and John’s Primary School, Horsham Primary School’s singing and signing choirs, and performers from Horsham Music Academy and Art Matters’ Shake ’n’ Groove group,” she said. “People pulled up hay bales to watch them perform. It was wonderful.” The day also featured a wide range of activities, rides and attractions. Mrs Grosser said the committee would assess whether the event would return in 2019. “It is a massive amount of work so we’ve got people who think it should be biennial, while others want to power ahead for next year,” she said. “No decisions have been made at this stage. We’ll have a discussion about it and decide at a later date.” – Sarah Scully

FAMILY FUN: Making the most of the many activities offered at Operation 19:14 on Sunday are, clockwise from above, Isabelle Sampson; Olivia Joseph, Juhi Boby, Nathan Joseph, Eva Thomas, Aibel Thomas and Jewell Boby; Phoebe Whittaker, Emily Clarke and Tegan Gross; and Emily Liston.

Bill leaves a lasting legacy L

ate Wimmera parliamentarian William ‘Bill’ McGrath will be farewelled today.

Mr McGrath, 81, originally from Minyip, died at his home at Lower Norton, west of Horsham, on Wednesday night last week after a long battle with illness. He died peacefully surrounded by members of his family. Mr McGrath was a National Party Member for Lowan between 1979 and 1992 and Member for Wimmera between 1992 and 1999. In government, he had ministerial responsibilities for agriculture, corrections and police and emergency services. A dedicated sportsman, he pursued football – playing at VFL level with South Melbourne – tennis and golf. He was also a farmer and a longterm Wimmera Legacy advocate. Nationals leader Peter Walsh said Mr McGrath had left a lasting legacy. “My deepest condolences to Bill’s family – the McGrath family and western Victoria have lost a true statesman,” he said. “Bill was an absolute champion for western Victoria, taking his tough and resilient attitude to his involvement in sport, politics and life. “Bill embodied the true values of the National Party with his unwavering advocacy and commitment to regional Victoria.” Victorian Nationals state president Neil Pankhurst said Mr McGrath advocated for the best interests of

The late Bill McGrath regional Victoria, both as a Member of Parliament and minister. “Bill was a passionate community member and family man,” he said. “As a Member of Parliament, his first priority was always standing up for the best interests of the people he represented.” A state funeral service for Mr McGrath, recognising his previous position as a government minister, will be at Horsham’s Ss Michael and John’s Catholic Church at 10.30am today, with a community gathering in the church hall after the service. A family burial service will be at Minyip cemetery at 3.30pm.

60th anniversary dance celebration More than one hundred people took to the floor for a celebratory evening of dance marking the 60th anniversary of Horsham’s Hamilton Lamb Memorial Hall. Descendants of Lt George Hamilton Lamb, MLA, after whom the hall is named, travelled to Horsham from Melbourne to attend the event. The late Member for Lowan’s son Tony Lamb, who attended with his daughter Emma, spoke about his father while cutting the anniversary cake. He also thanked the Hamilton Lamb Memorial Hall committee for its work. Ian Ballinger, whose family was involved in building the hall in the 1950s and further renovations in the 1970s, gave the crowd a short history of the project. Hall committee member Susan Hogan said the night was a great success. “A happy crowd of about 100 people celebrated and danced the night away to old-time music, interspersed with rock ’n’ roll and line dancing,” she said. “The band, Key Change, gave the night a real old-time dance ambience and everyone attending got into the ‘dress to impress’ or ‘get out your 1950s gear’ mode to make the night special.” Gowns from the 1950s and display boards featuring snapshots of the hall’s 60-year history were on show in the foyer and around the hall, paying homage to past committee members and hall users. Murray Minne emceed the evening while Don Papst introduced the dance program. Bruce Beattie filmed the night and played a film of past dances on a screen at the front of the stage. “This created extra interest,” Ms Hogan said.

you back at the hall dancing some time soon.” Ms Hogan said it was great to see the hall getting a ‘facelift’ in its 60th year. “We thank Horsham Rural City Council and their contractors for having the new frontage and sign ready for our celebrations,” she said. “There are still more renovations to go, but it’s starting to look good for the next 60.” Prize winners: Door prize, Carolyn Owen; hamper, Michael Schneider; other prizes, Annette Mibus, Roy Henwood; costume winners, Alison McMillan and Nigel Clutterbuck, Annette Dwyer and Jack Loats, Julie Duperouzel, Wayne Lang, Anne Erskine, Geoff Cooney and Inez Spriggs.

SOUTH WEST

Week 8 is host to the annual Wool Week and due to this fact, the Western Region had a one-week recess to allow interested parties to attend the planned activities in the Eastern States. An unusual selling pattern of Tuesday and Wednesday selling days in Sydney and Melbourne, was also a direct result of Wool Week activities planned for Thursday. Quantities reduced again this week, due in part to the afore mentioned fact that Fremantle took a one-week recess, resulting in a national offering of 29,691 bales being made available to the trade. Despite the reduction in quantity, the market could not sustain the rapid upward momentum experienced during the previous sales. Buyers adopted a much more cautious approach, resulting in price corrections across the entire merino spectrum. The losses felt in the merino sector were generally 60 to 90 cents. The lesser style types and wools with less favourable additional measurement results were the most heavily discounted. Due to the price reductions, the benchmark Eastern market indicator (EMI) lost 48 cents off the record high it achieved at the previous sale, closing the week at 2,068 cents. Worth noting, currency movement had a significant impact again this week, when viewed in USD, the EMI did not record the same large movements and only fell by 18 cents. The skirting market also tracked downward this week. Prices were generally reduced by 40 to 70 cents, with the losses felt across all types and descriptions, regardless of style or vegetable matter content. The crossbreds also suffered corrections but not to the same extent as the merinos. The losses were generally 15 to 25 cents, all types and descriptions recording a similar fall. Fremantle returns to the fold in Week 9, resulting in an increase in quantity. Currently, there is 34,960 bales rostered for sale.

“Bruce and his wife Susanne were kept busy encouraging the crowd to dance and partake in the different dance styles. “Many people brought along a plate of supper to share, which ensured a beautiful spread was presented. “Elsbeth, Michael, Norma and Pam did a great job organising the kitchen. Elsbeth and Michael made the anniversary cake and it was beautifully decorated by James Schwarz. “Thank you to all who contributed to supper and the clean up after. “Thanks must also go to all committee members and extra volunteers who helped with the setting up of the hall and the packing up the next day.” “We hope everyone enjoyed the night and we would be pleased to see

We are so incredibly lucky to live and work among a variety of cultures here in the Wimmera-Mallee. As Refugee Week back in June highlighted, refugees and migrants making their home in the region not only bring with them an exceptionally positive, resilient spirit, but also present their new communities with an excellent learning opportunity. Making up more than 28 percent of the current 24.8-million Australian population, migrants bring with them hundreds – sometimes thousands – of years of culture and tradition. From the Karen community at Nhill to the Filipino community in Ararat, as well as the Asian, African, Indian, Caribbean, Mediterranean and European communities spread across the region, there is so much we can learn from each other; from spectacular traditional dress to mouth-watering recipes, language and dialect, to music and the way different cultures care for their family. In return, we can welcome and teach our new residents about Australian culture and, at times, slang, workplace and road rules, laws, traditions and so much more. We truly value working with organisations and groups who welcome all cultures, just like Oasis Wimmera, which was started by migrants and aims to support and assist them to integrate into Australian society and understand the cultural transition. The Australian Bureau of Statistics shows the most common languages spoken in Australia

include Italian, Spanish, Greek, Chinese, Indian, Arabic, Macedonian and Aboriginal. And, while the positives most definitely outweigh the negatives, the recent reports of alleged African gang violence in Melbourne by members of the Apex Gang have appeared to create a culture of fear. How sad. However, without getting too detailed, it might interest readers to learn that according to Crime Statistics Agency data for the year ending March 2018, the overall offences committed in Horsham decreased by an estimated 5.5 percent. On a positive note, let’s look at the wonderful examples we have in our region, such as Paw Po at Nhill, where the Karen ladies showcase their incredible craft skills to create breathtaking traditional clothing, accessories and furniture and, further south, the Laharum flower farm employs migrants to assist with their flower harvest and selling of the luscious native blooms. And here at the Centre for Participation we’re committed to helping our new friends settle in as quickly as possible – whether that means learning English through our English language program, understanding just what that Australian slang word means via Australiana mentoring, increasing or refreshing their skills so they can gain employment via our range of courses, or even by helping them learn to drive through our Licencing the Wimmera program so they can access the, often isolated, rural communities. If you haven’t already introduced yourself to your new neighbour, school friend or colleague, do yourself a favour and take the time to say hi. You could not only make a new friend but could also open up a whole new world of experiences. • Robbie Miller is the Wimmera’s Centre for Participation acting chief executive.

Home after relief effort

ictoria State Emergency Service and the Wimmera have welcomed home Stawell Unit volunteer John Hooper after his two-week deployment as part of an international response to devastating fires in Greece.

The community welcomed him back to the Wimmera with a VICSES ceremony in Stawell on Friday. Mr Hooper went to Greece as part of a national multi-agency response team, providing emergency relief after fires near Athens killed at least 90 people. He was one of 10 Australians who formed a national Disaster Assistance Response Team. The skilled team helped the Greek fire brigade with rapid damage as-

sessments to fire-damaged buildings, where they worked 12-hour days in hot weather. Mr Hooper’s qualification and extensive training in urban search and rescue, where he is a category-two operator, allowed him to be part of the response team. Urban search and rescue technicians train in advanced rescue operations and search equipment, tunnelling and shoring. The technicians complete this extensive training every two years, training that includes locating and removing trapped and often injured live casualties from partially or totally collapsed structures or environments and providing emergency medical care.

Mr Hooper, part of Victoria State Emergency Service for almost 40 years and based mainly in the state’s mid-west, was the first VICSES volunteer to train in this qualification and was the first category-two trained member to be deployed overseas. He said he was fortunate to have his qualifications and had always been passionate about urban search and rescue. “It was an absolutely wonderful experience to be there helping the grief-stricken communities of Greece. It was very heart-warming to see their relief and appreciation for us when we arrived,” he said. VICSES assistant chief officer Ste-

phen Warren said it was fantastic to see specialist multi-agency skills put to use. “John is one of our more highly skilled rescue operators and has made VICSES very proud,” he said. “There is so much opportunity at VICSES, and so it is always gratifying to see VICSES volunteers involved in some of the more diverse aspects of the job, and see their skillset grow.” The Disaster Assistance Response Team was made up of members from Fire and Rescue NSW and Victoria fire and emergency services and had support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Emergency Management Australia.

Call for fish hatchery

he Wimmera might have an opportunity to rekindle a role in Victoria’s native-fish breeding program if the state’s angling peak body has success in lobbying for a regional hatchery.

Victorian Recreational Fishing Peak Body, VRFish, which represents Victorian anglers, is advocating for a purpose-built native-fish hatchery in northern Victoria. It has made the call as part its platform leading up to the November Victorian election. Lake Charlegrark in west Wimmera was for several years the home of a Murray cod hatchery, its fish providing lakes in the region and beyond with a high-quality freshwater alternative native table species to introduced trout and redfin. Many fish with origins in the Charlegrark hatchery grew to enormous size and became the subject of fishing folklore at popular Wimmera lakes such as Green and Taylors. The heaviest officially recorded Murray cod caught on rod and line in Victoria

came out of Lake Charlegrark. VRFish chairman Rob Loats of Donald said the popularity of native freshwater fisheries had reached new heights thanks to dedicated stocking programs involving iconic Murray cod and golden perch. “Unfortunately, our ageing infrastructure has not kept pace with growing demand, leading to many fish stocked in Victoria purchased from commercial hatcheries in NSW,” he said. “We also fear our supply of native fish from NSW commercial hatcheries could be under threat due to changes in ownership. “A specific native fish hatchery in northern Victoria will better suit the required growing conditions of our native fish and secure the state’s fish stocking program well into the future.” The only State Government fish hatchery is at Snob’s Creek at Lake Eildon, a project initially established to breed salmonids such as trout in cooler waters 71 years ago. Mr Loats said anglers had contacted VRFish in support of

BIG: Horsham’s Mark O’Beirne with a Murray cod he caught at Lake Mulwala in 2016. The fish is similar to the many Charlegrark-bred cod that trophy anglers hunted in Wimmera lakes during he 1970s and ’80s. an expanded native-fish breeding program, including increased production of Macquarie perch, river blackfish, trout cod, silver perch and eel-tail catfish to improve recreational fishing and to help species recover in the wild. He said VRFish also believed a new native fish hatchery would free up much-needed

space and resources at the Snob’s Creek Hatchery to increase the production of salmonids, including catchable-sized rainbow trout stocked in ‘family fishing lakes’. In 2017-18, the State Government stocked five-million native fish to create new fishing opportunities for Victorians as part of a Target One Million policy.

Positivitoys are making their mark Enabling young people to get a head start to a career was the reason Positivitoys founder Hayley Little established her social enterprise. Now she can be proud she has achieved this aim. Four young people identified by youth workers as being able to benefit from a funded job-ready course participated in the first ‘Positivitoy Food Handling’ course at Stawell Neighbourhood House. The accredited course is a stepping-stone for people to gain district employment in hospitality. Sales of Positivitoys, which are soft, hand-sized cubes that include faces and positive messages, and other donations, funded the places in the course for the four participants. Grampians Community Health School Focused Youth Service co-ordinator Maurice Billi said he had received positive feedback from the four stu-

A benefit of the course was that it was also open to anyone to attend. This meant people in the hospitality industry and others aspiring to be, could attend, share the learning experience and expose young people to broader thinking about what opportunities might be

available to them from the course. Although not funded by Positivitoys, Ms Little and two friends also completed the course. They said they believed the course had helped them participate in the community and workplace. “I had the vision of helping other young people when I found out how much the course cost and knew there would be a lot of people who could get a

job if only they could afford the course,” Ms Little said. “Now I’ve also completed the course it would be great one day to be helping out at a community event or working somewhere and have one of the Positivitoy students there alongside me.” Individual Positivitoys are available through the Positivitoy Facebook page or by emailing positivitoys@gmail.com.

Expo to promote security, safety 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

immera farm safety and crime prevention will be the subject of a unique rural expo at Murtoa on September 6.

The second Rural Safe, Farm Secure breakfast expo will be at Murtoa Recreation Reserve and provide insight into everything from injury-prevention to making property more secure from criminal activity. Murtoa Neighbourhood Watch is presenting the three-hour expo, designed to also double as a social gathering for rural communities across the region. Event manager Robyn-Maree Penny-Paditz said the event was free of charge and would start with a breakfast at Murtoa Community Centre at 8.30am before programs and presentations from 9am to noon. “As a team we are aware of how much impact crime, injuries and illnesses have on communities, whether it be on the farm or in town,” she said. “As a Neighborhood Watch group our focus is primarily crime prevention, but as members of a small community there is a bigger picture – community wellbeing – that embraces everyone’s health and safety. “Our motto is ‘let’s look out for each other’ and this expo is all about exploring what’s available to help us achieve this goal.”

Ms Penny-Paditz said small towns relied on farmers and it was important that everyone, including people living in towns as well as on farms, was aware of opportunities to create safe and secure environments. “When it comes to crime and occupational health and safety we’ve either heard of, or been aware of, many unfortunate circumstances,” she said. “We want to make sure people are aware of their own assets, how to protect themselves and their properties and to make sure there are no more injuries,” she said. The expo will involve a variety of health and emergency agencies such as Victoria Police and West Wimmera Health Service and also groups and businesses involved in either safety or crime prevention.

“Attendees will

learn more about crime prevention, being smart around machinery, firearm safety and security as well as general health, especially in the coming warmer months” – Robyn-Maree Penny-Paditz

Late inclusions

Ms Penny-Paditz said she was keen to get as many exhibitors – including topic-specific speakers, agricultural-product suppliers, security and insurance specialists, emergency services and sponsors – involved in the morning event. “This is a free community expo, so we will be inviting and accepting applications to join in right up to the night before. Sites are only $20,” she said. “Victorian Farmers Federation pres-

ident David Jochinke, who has been helpful in planning, will be among guests. “There will be three hours of displays and guest speakers that will help everyone prepare for a happy spring, summer and harvest. “Attendees will learn more about crime prevention, being smart around machinery, firearm safety and security as well as general health, especially in the coming warmer months.

“People often push themselves to get things done before rain comes or before the crop turns. “Corners get cut and important things like security, health and safety get pushed aside as people try to work longer and faster. “We want people to take this opportunity to stop for a moment and think smarter – to head into harvest season with all these things fresh in their mind so that they make it through har-

vest with the best outcomes possible. “We ask: when everyone is busy and pushed to their limits, can they afford to push themselves dangerously? “If you aren’t there to harvest because you’re laid up in hospital or worse, who’s going to get the crop in? “Equally, if you don’t secure your assets and machinery or a harvester or tractor gets stolen or damaged, who’s going to have the resources to cover you when everyone else is out using their own? “This can also affect town residents who are out working the land, not to mention people rushing around from place to place in this rapid-dash mindset. Slow down, think smart and make the most of the information we will have at the expo.” Ms Penny-Paditz said all farming communities across the region were welcome to attend. “You don’t have to simply be from Murtoa. We’re reaching out to as far as Ararat, Kaniva and Hopetoun and everywhere in between,” she said. “It is primarily set up for farmers but anyone will benefit from the talks, presentations and displays, all in an informal environment.” People keen to find out more can call Ms Penny-Paditz on 0423 320 108 or email ruralsafefarmsecure@ gmail.com.

pain and the Wimmera might be a world apart but for Spanish PhD student Ana Moreno de la Fuente, it is their similarities that will help her to better understand the effects of climate change on agricultural systems.

Ms Moreno, mid-way through a PhD examining the effects of climate change on crops, said Agriculture Victoria’s Horsham site was the ideal location to continue her studies. “The Mediterranean climate and the crops grown in the Wimmera are very similar to what we have in Spain,” she said. “Also, there has already been a lot of research into the effects of elevated carbon dioxide on crops carried out in the Horsham region through the recently concluded 11-year Australian Grains Free Air CO2 Enrichment, AGFACE, program. “We don’t have a FACE facility in Spain and the novel and important research in Horsham will give me an understanding of future climate affecting agriculture in both countries and the opportunity to make a difference.” Ms Moreno arrived in Horsham in June for a six-month re-

search placement based at Grains Innovation Park as part of her doctoral studies, which she is completing through the School of Agriculture, Food and Biosystem Engineering at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. Agriculture Victoria vector-borne disease researcher Dr Piotr Trebicki, who has spent eight years studying the impact of climate change on pests and diseases, is supervising Ms Moreno’s work in Horsham. The focus of Ms Moreno’s PhD is assessing the impact of climate change on the biological control of pests. While in Horsham she will be specifically researching the effect of elevated carbon dioxide and higher temperatures on wheat crops, aphids and their natural enemies, or ‘beneficials’. Ms Moreno will carry out a range of field and lab-based experiments in a bid to better understand how aphids and the viruses they transmit, such as barley yellow-dwarf virus, respond under predicted future climatic conditions. She will also look at what effect higher temperatures and carbon dioxide levels have on parasitic wasps, Aphidius colemani, the

EXPLORATION: Spanish PhD student Ana Moreno sets up an experiment that will assess the behaviour of aphids and the impact they have on wheat plants grown under future predicted climatic conditions. natural enemy of the aphid. “I am looking to compare how effectively beneficial wasps control wheat pests under current carbon dioxide levels and temperatures – 400 ppm and 20°C – with future predicted conditions, when carbon dioxide levels will reach 800 ppm and the temperature will be 2°C hotter,” Ms Moreno said. To complete her PhD, Ms Moreno will need to publish a thesis and several articles in scientific journals.

This is often one of the biggest challenges for PhD students, but there will be another layer to this task for Ms Moreno as she intends to publish her research in English, rather than her first language of Spanish. “It is not necessary to publish in English, but I think my research will be more widely accessible if I do,” she said. Ms Moreno expects to complete her doctoral studies in 2020.

PPS set to host 10th conference 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Members of independent farmer group Perennial Pasture Systems will reflect on the past decade at the 10th annual PPS conference in Ararat. The conference will be at Gum San Chinese Heritage Centre on September 12 from 8.45am. Project manager Rob Shea said the group was continuing to bring productive and sustainable pasture research and extension to the region. He said the annual conference formed a vital part of the group’s calendar. PPS president Tony Roberts said this year’s conference was themed around lifting farm profitability through productive pastures and management systems. It is titled, ‘PPS 10 years on: looking back and moving forward’. “We have lined up a range of quality speakers for the day as well as a visit to a highly productive PPS member farm,” he said. This year’s seminar speakers include leading economist Dr Bill Malcolm from Melbourne University, who will look at the question of ‘Pasture improvement, does it pay?’. Dr Belinda Hackney from NSW Deparment of Agriculture will explain the possible reasons behind underperforming legumes, while Meat and Livestock Australia’s Cameron Allan will outline a brief look into the future of the sheep-meat industry. “Leading farmers Shaun Beasley, Bairnsdale, and Henry Goode, Mt Benson, South Australia, will put in plain words how to put it together on farm,” Mr Roberts said. A tour of a PPS member’s farm at Maroona will complete the day session. A dinner at Chalambar Golf Club will follow the conference. Noted agricultural consultant Ken Solly is guest speaker. Tickets are available online at www.trybooking. com/404375 or by calling Mr Shea on 0438 521 357.

More than a suitable hat W

eek one for ‘Sco Mo’ as ‘Pro Mo’ – younger people’s slang for Scott Morrison as Prime Minister – and his first conundrum might well have been how to get his hands on a suitable hat.

His first duty was, after all, to head to most unfamiliar territory for the Sydneysider – right into the heart of drought-stricken Queensland where farmers tell it like it really is and don’t suffer fools, or foolish choice of hats, gladly. It’s a great tactic to shift the attention from the carnage in Canberra and tug at the heartstrings of city folk who just seemed to have discovered the seven-year long drought in Queensland and the shorter-lived drought in NSW. Put the Prime Minister in the mid-

Country Today with Libby Price

dle of a dust bowl with lots of rugged looking farmers and make the former hard-edged, tough treasurer look like an empathetic, caring kind of guy. Let’s hope he can pull it off. I always thought former Prime Minister John Howard looked very awkward whenever he donned the Akubra and headed bush. You got the sense he was wishing he was anywhere but where he was and was only doing it because the polls said he had to be there. But people knew what to expect

with Howard. All eyes will be on Morrison. As treasurer, he was reluctant to spend more money on drought assistance. So will he suddenly drop the frugality and become pragmatic? Turnbull did a drought tour of NSW less than three months ago and it became glaringly obvious the State Government was more agile in coming up with help for farmers than Canberra. If Morrison just makes the most of being photographed with farmers and looking sadly at dry earth and hungry livestock, it could do him more harm than good. His agriculture minister David Littleproud has already questioned whether climate change is real and said the only thing that can break the drought is rain. So Morrison can’t expect any rev-

olutionary policy from him. So what are the options? It’s been suggested water held in the Murray Darling Basin with the Environmental Water Holder be released to use to irrigate fodder crops. That’s been given the kybosh by Irrigation Council chief executive Steve Whan, who says the government would have to legislate to allow it to happen, which would make a dangerous precedent. The simple fact of the matter is governments have always grappled with drought policy and are yet to come up with a resounding solution. Let’s hope our new Prime Minister, for his sake at least, does more than just strut his stuff and then dust off his hat and head back to Canberra. If a very real commitment to supporting farmers isn’t given, it will be seen very clearly for what it is.

Chain of responsibility and truck road-worthiness will be some of the major issues on the agenda at this year’s Victorian Farmers Federation Grains Pre-Harvest Roadshow from September 3 to 12. Comprising eight events across Victoria – at Ouyen, Donald, Boort, Dookie, Nhill, Longerenong, Lake Bolac and Inverleigh – the roadshow will also feature practical demonstrations and interactive discussions from the Country Fire Authority, Horsham Hydraulics, Mass Management and GrainCorp. VFF Grains Group president Ross Johns said the roadshow was an opportunity for grain producers to get information before harvest. “I would encourage all grain growers to find the nearest event and come along,” he said. Admission is free for grain growers, family and friends. People can get more information by calling 1300 882 833.

FARMERS:

reat Western Hotel patrons raised $1331.30 for drought-stricken farmers in NSW and Queensland in just over three hours during a ‘Farmers Session Sunday’.

The hotel ran a ‘Keg for a Cause’, where patrons paid what they wanted for their pots of beer, be it $3 or $30, knowing every cent would be donated to the cause. Great Northern, through its Let It Pour campaign, donated a keg of beer to 1000 pubs and clubs in a quest to raise $1-million dollars during the weekend. Great Western Hotel publican Danial Ahchow said people lined up at the bar wanting a drink and to donate money as soon as the keg was tapped. “I think that is the very special thing about people from the country. When the chips are down they are always there wanting to help,” he said. Stawell band ‘The Shakes’ provided entertainment and Best’s and Seppelt wineries donated wine for a raffle during the Sunday session. “We are ecstatic with our result,” Mr Ahchow said.

TIME

Grains profit regional workshops Wimmera-Mallee growers will gain an insight at a series of regional workshops into what makes the top performing grain-growing businesses in southern Australia successful. Grains Research and Development Corporation research investment has revealed the top 20 percent of grain businesses are retaining 30 percent of turnover as net profit, while the average business is retaining closer to 10 percent.

A series of GRDC ‘Opportunity for Profit’ workshops – at Kaniva today, in Horsham tomorrow and Swan Hill on Friday – will offer some answers to help growers better understand the profit drivers in their own businesses. The half-day workshops will delve into the results from a GRDC three-year national project called ‘the integration of profit drivers and technical information for more informed decisions’.

two-week study tour in Canada by Agriculture Victoria scientists has identified a range of new research opportunities that could benefit growers and contribute towards an increasingly robust Australian pulse industry.

Agriculture Victoria pulse agronomy research scientists Dr Jason Brand and Tim Nigussie visited Saskatchewan and Alberta as part of the Grains Research and Development Corporation’s Southern Pulse Agronomy program. They were part of a delegation that included South Australian Research Development Institute researchers Drs Christine Walela and Penny Roberts. The group spent two weeks travelling through Canadian pulse-growing regions to meet a range of researchers, growers, agronomists and other industry specialists. Dr Brand said the trip provided his team with access and insight into pulse-management options being researched and adopted by Canadian growers. “We looked at research targeting weed and disease management in pulses and saw how growers were using alternative practices such as inter-cropping or companion cropping,” he said. Among tour highlights was visiting

RESEARCH: From left, Penny Roberts, Jason Brand, Christine Walela and Tim Nigussie during a two-week study tour in Canberra.

Eric Johnson, a weeds researcher from the University of Saskatchewan, and Jessica Weber from the Western Agricultural Research Corporation, who showed the Southern Pulse Agronomy team through several weed-management and herbicide-tolerance trials and introduced them to growers in the Scott region to discuss how their research was being applied on-farm. “As an alternative to, or to complement chemical weed control, a number of new options were being investigated,” Dr Brand said. “We observed several novel weed-control options such as weed clipping and inter-row cultivation that could be combined with laser and microwave technologies and visual

sensing to create nonchemical options in the future. “The discussions with Mr Johnson and Ms Weber will also guide some of the future directions of our herbicide-tolerance and weedmanagement research.” Discussions about research into, and the adoption of, intercropping in Canada were of particular interest to the visiting Australians. At a South East Research Farm near Redvers, Saskatchewan, manager Lana Shaw discussed her group’s focus on intercropping, which was being driven by a desire for higher productivity cropping systems that were less reliant on synthetic fertilisers, herbicides and fungicides.

The grower-led research site featured field trials comparing a range of crop species mixes, while other trials were comparing mixed and skip row systems. “Particularly interesting were the chickpea-flax and lentil-flax mixes, which might provide opportunities to minimise fungicide use with lower disease pressure,” Dr Brand said. “There were lots of interesting observations, but plenty of work is needed to understand the science behind the observations. The intercropping discussions we had with growers, researchers and agronomists in Canada will help us refine where we should be directing our attention in future agronomic research.”

Changes to registration Changes to heavy vehicle registration from October 1 means farmers will no longer be able to buy primaryproducer registration plates for their trucks. Victorian Farmers Federation is concerned this is the first step towards the complete removal of primary-producer registration. VFF Grains Group president Ross Johns said concessions provided by primary-producer registration reflected the lower kilometres travelled by farm vehicles compared with commercial heavy vehicles. He said this ensured farmers were not cross-subsidising the cost of commercial heavy vehicle road users. “Removal of primary-producer registration would place an unfair burden on farmers. The VFF is adamantly opposed to any steps that might lead to complete removal of the registration category,” he said. “In the lead-up to the Victorian election, we are calling on Labor and the Coalition to guarantee the retention of primary-producer registration in its current form. “Additionally, both parties must agree to block any moves towards national harmonisation of state concessions. National harmonisation could threaten primary-producer registration and the concessions available to Victorian farmers.”

FROST CONCERN: Agriculture minister Jaala Pulford inspects a frosted wheat crop at Langi Logan, south of Ararat, with farmers Bruce McKay and Andy Laidlaw late last year.

Reducing the cost of frost F

BY GENEVIEVE CLARKE BIRCHIP CROPPING GROUP

rost costs the Australian grains industry about $360-million from direct and indirect losses each year based on Grains Research and Development Corporation estimations. The Wimmera has experienced multiple frosts already this season, but it is when crops are closer to flowering that damage can be significant. The GRDC National Frost Initiative started in 2014 to help growers lower their losses to frost. It is an integrated program designed to help address management practices, environmental approaches and genetic options to mitigate frost effects on winter crops. This year, Birchip Cropping Group is running two trials looking at management practices and their effect on reducing frost damage in crops. The trial established at Longerenong is looking at the effect of sowing rate and nitrogen in wheat to assess whether changing canopy density has an influence on the severity of frost damage. BCG senior researcher Kelly Angel said there was some conjecture around nitrogen’s influence on the losses associated with frost. “Anecdotally, farmers have commented that nitrogen-rich crops seem to be more affected by frost,” she said. “The question is, is this really the case? Or is there something less obvious at play?” It has been hypothesised that dense crops might have a higher level of synchronicity in growth stage, resulting in more plants being prone to frost damage at one point in time.

This trial is one in a series of farmer-sown trials across Australia. It aims to determine if sowing rate and nitrogen rate influences crop susceptibility to frost damage and identify the key drivers that initiate these differences. Regional grower practices have been used to determine sowing and nitrogen rates. This year is the final year of funding for this part of the GRDC National Frost Initiative. So far, it has led to the development of a toolset that growers can use to mitigate damage. Trials have investigated variety and crop selection, time of sowing, stubble and nutrient management and row spacing, among others. “We know that frost is something that can’t be avoided completely by growers,” Ms Angel said. “There is no such thing as frost resistance, but work through the National Frost Initiative has presented a suite of tactics that might help to reduce risks and identified others that might increase risks.” Work from the GRDC National Frost Initiative and options to help identify and manage frost risk in crops will be presented at the BCG Main Field Day. The field day is on September 12 at the BCG Main Research Site at Narraport, on the Nullawil-Birchip Road. More information about the event is available online at www.bcg.org.au/ events or by calling 5492 2787. For more information on the BCG Wimmera research program, watch for this monthly column.

ember for Mallee Andrew Broad and Micah Australia executive director Tim Costello have urged Australian churches to support farmers doing it tough while continuing their generosity to others around the world.

Mr Costello said farmers in rural Australia were facing a mounting crisis and people needed to show ‘love for our neighbour’ by offering practical support. “We are calling on the Australian church to go above and beyond in its generosity to these farmers and their families,” he said. “At times like these, the church can come together and show compassion, through both our prayers for rain and our generous giving. “This is the bond of Christian inter-nationalism, which responds both locally and globally.” Mr Broad, a farmer, said it did not have to be an ‘either-or’ situation when it came to giving. “We can do both. We can support our farmers and can continue to support those elsewhere in the world that are suffering,” he said. “That is the Christian faith – we do not need to turn our back on one group to support the other. Our call is to love our neighbour – both locally and globally.” Mr Costello last week released an open pastoral letter to Australian Christians asking them to consider ‘how your church might respond at

“It’s great to see the sense of community that comes during times like this in our nation” – Andrew Broad

this time to the drought and go over and above to help those affected,’ while issuing a caution about the current rhetoric calling for a stop to giving overseas. “It has been of some concern to me over the past few weeks, to witness leaders and parts of the Australian public issue a similar plea to help our farmers, by calling for us to withdraw help from others in our world who are also suffering,” he said. “We know, in the Kingdom of God, generosity is never an either-or – it is always both.” Joined by leaders and pastors from churches, Mr Broad said it was encouraging to see the response from many denominations across the nation who had already launched emergency appeals for farmers. “It’s great to see the sense of community that comes during times like this in our nation,” he said. “We feel a great sense of responsibility for our farmers and we do need to act. But our message today is that we don’t need to partition our generosity.”

et’s turn back the clock 12 months. What we were saying then about Warrack Eagles in Wimmera Football League is pretty much the same as this season.

The Eagles have been a frustrating team to follow, but after all of their inconsistencies now find themselves fighting it out in the finals. The late confirmation of the Eagles securing an elimination-final berth came after some gritty efforts late in the season and it’s that hardened edge that should hold the team in good stead. But it would be hard for any punter to confidently put money on this side, considering the Eagles’ zigzagging win-loss record throughout the season. Early-season predictions had the team sitting top three on the back of news that Nick Peters and Jeremy Clayton had joined the camp. But perhaps there was general underestimation of the impact of notable departures and the high level of competitiveness across the league. Warrack Eagles are in the finals because they are starting to play to the level and consistency fans have been expecting. Interestingly, the Eagles appear to enjoy taking on the challenge of playing highly ranked opponents and in games of late have fully tested teams including minor premier Horsham. There seems little doubt that Warrack Eagles, under the leadership of Ryan McKenzie, have the ability to push deeply into the finals. Let’s not forget they nearly played off a grand final last year. But the question is – which Eagles will turn up to play in the finals? Will it be the hardrunning, direct and determined Eagles or the patchy-form Eagles?

time to shine Much depends on how the robust McKenzie, equally at home in attack or on the ball, plays and whether the team can fully exploit the rucking, marking and goal-kicking ability of big man Shannon Argall. Ball magnet Peters can also play at a level above the competition when on song. His foot skills are elite in Wimmera league and his ability to turn defence into attack is considerable. The Eagles’ scattergun approach to playing attacking football is great to watch when they get it right and opens opportunities for their squad of youngsters. And it’s a method that also opens the door for rising spearhead talent Dalton Jeansch. If Jeansch can find space and team-mates honour his leads, his ability to be damaging will come to the fore. The Eagles have also come to rely heavily on the mop-up expertise of Riley Morrow, who accumulates important settling touches through half back each week. The x-factor player the Eagles are likely to miss, and who could make the team a five-goalbetter side if available, is wildly talented Charlie Wilson. But Wilson, on the footy pathway, might have bigger fish to fry. So just what are the Eagles’ chances to not only get past the first week of finals but to also threaten for a spot in the season climax? Pick a card. The team has the potential but inconsistency throughout the season more than suggests it will need to pull out something special to be a serious threat.

Warrack Eagles

Players to watch Ryan McKenzie Exceptional on-field leader who never asks his team-mates to do something he’s not willing to do himself. The Eagles would love to clone him so they could have him both in the middle and in front of goals at the same time.

Shannon Argall A big man who has the capability to control and change momentum of games. He will need to put this on show for the team to get past the first week of finals. Has a strong grab and big engine.

Riley Morrow Unassuming defensive clean-up player and accumulator of possessions. Lightly built and often unsung but one of the Eagles’ most level-headed and consistent players.

Nick Peters Can at times seem to have the ball on a string. Wins a lot of football and his delivery into the Eagles’ forward line could well be a major highlight of the finals.

f there is a team coming into Wimmera Football League finals boasting an x-factor then it is hard to look past Horsham Saints.

The Saints, based on their past month of hectic home-and-away football, also certainly rate as more than a finals dark horse. Horsham Saints have had an up and down season due to injuries and player unavailability through pathway commitments and have done exceptionally well to finish where they have on the ladder. This has happened despite team leaders, week in and week out, having the tough job of trying to establish a stable and settled side. It has taken a quality mix in leadership to get the equation right. Coach Luke Fisher, apart from his obvious ballwinning abilities, has provided on-field leadership and direction for the team and at the same time has had former premiership mastermind Shayne Breuer running an efficient bench. Outside observers can clearly see the influence and strengths of both of these leaders, with Fisher one of the stars of the competition and now playing with freedom after knee trouble, and Breuer applying his wealth of footy knowledge through a clipboard. The Saints have been an enigma. One week they have beat a highly credentialed team such as the Southern Mallee Giants, the next they have struggled to kick a winning score against a team they should overcome easily. But this is a team that is now hitting its straps at the right time of the season.

finals x-factor

Horsham Saints

Players to watch Michael Rowe The big man has returned to the competition and has steadily become one the most crucial players in the Saints line-up. A quality tap ruckman, his strong marking behind the play and work around the ground is critical for the Saints.

This is on the back of the likes of Mitch Martin and Justin Helyar returning from elite under-18 commitments, forward Matt Combe overcoming injury and in the shadows of the home-and-away season, star Jacob Cooke-Harrison on the park after missing most of the year. All of a sudden, Horsham Saints now appear to be a 15 to 20-goal side instead of a 10-goal group and this obviously augurs well for their finals campaign. The Saints base their game on zoning pressure and backing themselves through the likes of Sam Clyne, Fisher, Fergus O’Connor and Sam Jasper to generate tempo football. The reality is the Saints are the best structurally organised team in the finals. The return of ruckman Michael Rowe to Wimmera league has been fantastic for the group. Rowe’s ruck work and competitiveness across the ground is invaluable. Alexander McRae is the club’s backline general and Andrew Devereaux is his worthy lieutenant. At the other end, Jacob O’Beirne and Combe, with Cooke-Harrison, provide a multi-pronged forward line that can give opposition defenders a mighty runaround. But what about the team’s grand-final aspirations? The team was in the season play-off only two years ago and still boasts solid finals experience throughout the side. The Saints’ team brand of football, for which they are renowned, has all the attributes to be playing on the big day in September. The Saints will need to draw everything they have to get across the line, but results suggest they also play on high levels of self-belief.

Luke Fisher

The Saints coach is a front and centre specialist whose ball use on either side of his body at both ends of the ground is first class. He has had greater impact for the Saints this season after a serious knee injury.

Alexander McRae A hard-to-beat defender and at the core of theSaints’ defensive six. He always takes the opposition’s best forward and his shut-down role each week has been critical in getting the Saints to the finals.

Sam Jasper Fergus O’Connor

A proven finals performer. Oozes class when he gets into space and can rip opposition midfields apart with line-breaking runs.

Surprising Rats T

BY DAVID JOHNS

here is little doubt the surprise-packet in Wimmera Football League this year has been Ararat.

The improvement from the Rats has exceeded all expectations, at least from outside the club, and generated considerable interest across the expanse of the competition. Ararat coach Shane Fisher has done a magnificent job with his list and now, at the death knock, would be hoping he can get everyone back on the park and, importantly, playing well. Fisher has had to deal with crippling injuries in the second half of the season, which has placed a question mark over the potential of his team to push deeply into the finals series. The Rats have, at stages during the season, set the pace with head-turning performances and despite relinquishing second spot on the ladder of late, would still be happy to win a finals cap. History reveals that Wimmera league is always healthier when Ararat sides are performing strongly and that’s been the case this year. The red and white force from Alexandra Oval has beaten teams this season by running opponents off their legs and using precision disposal skills to hit targets. When the technique has worked it has worked well. Forget disappointing home-and-away results from Ararat of late. This is a team with its sights firmly on the finals – perhaps something even some club insiders might not have expected. Ruckman Zach Louder has been fantastic for the Rats this year. He has provided his fleet-footed players with great use of the ball as well as being a solid and pivotal contributor across the ground.

right in the mix He’s conspired alongside players such as Mendes brothers Nick and Dan, Jake Robinson and Riley Taylor. From defence, red-headed line-breaker Adam Haslett is a favourite of fans who enjoy good old-fashioned players who love a one-on-one scrap. Haslett is also adept at setting up offensive moves by breaking up opposition forays forward. When the Rats push forward, they often direct traffic through reliable Tom Mills and have had a winner in front of the sticks in Lachie Hamilton. One of the strengths of the Ararat group is that it has several handy players who tend to slip under the radar and can hurt opposition teams that haven’t done their homework. A bye leading into the finals came at a perfect time for the Rats to either rest weary bodies or help players trying to recover from injuries to get right for the team’s first finals campaign in many years. The league is now watching the Rats closely and a big question on the lips of many is whether Jack Ganley, who only played six games this season before breaking his leg, will be making a finals appearance. Early word is that Ganley and Dan Mendes, hamstring, will be right for the first week of the finals, but Jake Williamson might now be in trouble with an injured knee. The Ararat club declared early in the season it wanted to consolidate and build on its reputation as Ararat’s flagship sporting representative group. It has achieved that to some degree and now has the opportunity to fly the flag even higher in the finals. Ararat might be too lean and lame to seriously threaten the top couple of sides if they push further into the finals. But it might be a case of watch out in 2019.

Ararat Rats

Players to watch Adam Haslett A player who, if he played in an earlier era, would be compared with former Horsham premiership defender Terry Arnel. I love the way he goes about his football and is a lynch pin of the Rats outfit.

Zach Louder

Has impressed all season, at most times as a lone ruckman for the Rats. His tap work has been exceptional and his ferocity around the ground makes his team-mates stand tall.

Tom Mills

Despite a season with relatively few standout moments, the intensity of finals football is likely to suit his style of play. Finals are based on making the most of important moments and he is the candidate for the Rats to be anything on the day.

Nick and Dan Mendes

This brotherly combination is a mighty asset for the Rats and if Dan is back for the finals, will lead to a considerable reshuffle of the team’s midfield. Both are major reasons the Rats have done well this year.

BY DAVID JOHNS

immera Football League fans expected competition newcomer Southern Mallee Giants to quickly make an impression and become a pacesetter – and they have proven as much.

Sam Weddell

Ben Webster 31, Brock Orval 25, Haydn Drew 25.

In fact the Giants, after a highly competitive year, are the only side to finish where 3WM’s Local Football Live commentary team predicted at the start of the season. The overall picture provided by the Giants in the competition is that they have added new faces and fresh spice to the league and now even rival Horsham as the team everyone else wants to beat. Early season form suggested the Giants might only be simply competitive without being outstanding – but quickly spurred on, perhaps awakened, to what Wimmera football was all about. As the year progressed, the Giants adjusted their structures and intensity to be, overall, the best team on paper in the competition. The Giants, when opposition sides let them play the way they want, move the ball better than any other side in the league. As a result they can score freely and often. What some of us have noticed is that when the Giants have come up against teams that structure up strongly and slow them down, they become vulnerable. This has never been more evident than in the two games the team has lost against Horsham Saints. The advantage the Giants have over other top five sides in the finals is the ability to be able to change their structures on the fly. The team has an abundance of versatile utility players who appear at home in various positions and roles. This flexibility is the envy of most other teams in the competition and is a significant advantage in finals football.

Southern Mallee Giants

meet expectations

Players to watch James Wray Elusive across half forward and great user of the ball. Brings many of his team-mates into the game. A serious player to watch when the ball is anywhere near him and the goals are beckoning.

Coach Coleman Schache’s on-field leadership also sets a competition benchmark. His ability to draw his team-mates into following his direction is second-tonone. He is also a talented ball-winner in his own right. Athletic Sam Weddell across half back provides a relentless attack on the ball as a major intercept-marking rebounder. Weddell sets up a lot of springboard play for the Giants but will need support in this area in the pressure of finals football. Other running players include James Wray, whose class and ball use has come to the fore as the season has progressed. Rover Clint Burdett has also hit late-season form after coming back into the side, changing the dimension and adding pace and smarts to the Giants’ midfield. Then there is the bullocking toughness of Tyler Lehmann who is a rugged element to the game, for which Mallee football is renowned. Lehmann is great to watch. Webster brothers Ben and Josh are utilities at home at either end of the ground, Haydn Drew has featured in the best players all year and Sam White is a dangerous forward who can kick multiple goals. And then there’s Reece McNally, who helps an A-grade on-ball fleet get first use of the ball and the ever-damaging Brock Orval pushing forward with every opportunity. In short, the Giants are holding all the weapons needed for the finals and playing on the big day in September is all before them. Holding up a Wimmera league premiership cup would be a staggering achievement for this outfit, which has taken all before it since its historic formation through merger. Can they win the flag? Yes, they can. Will they find it tough? Yes, they will.

Sam Weddell The leader of the Giants’ defensive six. Important with his intercepting and ball use that creates space for the Giants further down the ground. A probing left footer who meets challenges head on.

Brock Orval The finals are waiting for Orval. A player who loves the big stage and can quickly kick four or five and win a game off his own boot. Opposition defenders beware.

Tyler Lehmann The Mallee bull who provides the muscle for the Giants through the middle. Hard to beat in oneon-one contests and another who wins the hard football to free up team-mates.

Demons W

BY DAVID JOHNS

immera Football League reigning premier Horsham will enter this year’s finals series as a surprising competition yardstick.

Pre-season predictions were that the Demons would be sitting at the bottom of the top five or outside, but that has certainly proven far from what has happened. The reason for the early doubt in Horsham’s ability to defend its premiership title was that the Demons had more than 20 clearances on the books and its list appeared decimated. Thoughts were consistent across the league that this year might be the season that Horsham, for the first time in many years, wouldn’t be challenging for the title in September. But the Demons have again proved hard to beat, with results punctuated by the fact the team has finished minor premier. Based simply on form across the year and a top-of-the-table finish, Horsham rates as the premiership favourite. The Demons have been the most consistent side all year, however, leading into the finals Horsham’s form has been patchy, mainly due to injuries to key personnel such as John Wood, coach Deek Roberts and a variety of niggles through several leading senior players. And the question remains – is the relatively inexperienced bottom half of Horsham’s senior list going to be able to stand up to finals pressure and intensity? Outside watchers have pinpointed that while Horsham’s top eight players and spread down the spine easily rate among the best in the competition, there is inexperience and potential vulnerability on the fringes. Against this, throughout the season, Horsham’s young crop has proven doubters, including me, wrong all year. Roberts has been instrumental in setting the standard for much of the season but he’s out of action and that has placed considerable pressure on players such as Brodie Mines and Ryan Kemp.

answer critics Kemp, so good in last year’s grand final, appears cherry ripe for roaming commission and has featured prominently in the past few games. Whether Roberts’ absence represents a weakness in the line-up remains to be seen. The Demons have kept winning without him. Jordyn Burke, Billy Carberry and Alex Harfield are warriors in the midfield mix. Burke will be important as a marking target and bringing smaller team-mates into the game. Brad Hartigan looms large in any finals campaign. He is set to be the general for the Demons and his example will be critical for Horsham defending its title. Much of the overall Horsham game rides on the back of the likes of players such as Ben Lakin, who has had a stellar season rebounding from half back, and Rhona Conboy, whose overall on-field leadership is second to none. It’s important to note the Demons go in as minor premiers despite having a reserves team that has struggled all year. This is reflective of the club’s willingness to draw on an overall list and give opportunities to four or five under-17s to cut their teeth at senior level. Can Horsham win the premiership again? I think they will be there on the last day, but the four other highly rated teams will have something to say about that. One thing the Wimmera league has given us all year is uncertainty on game days. Favourites have turned out on a few occasions not to be such great favourites. A big question for Horsham is whether a rest this week and perhaps another one in the finals will do the Demons more harm than good? They might play three games in six weeks. We’ll wait and see.

Horsham Demons

Players to watch Ryan Kemp Best small forward in the competition who can also pinch-hit through the midfield and turn a game within minutes. A recognised goal-kicker who is also at home running the ball, breaking lines or matching it in midfield clinches.

Ben Lakin Can play either a shut-down role on an opposition’s best forward or be an intercept player across half back, creating many a forward thrust for the Demons. In outstanding form and a primary architect in Horsham wins this year.

John Wood Came back from injury this season. In big games, this talented utility is a player to watch. High-marking and deftly skilled, Wood creates a constant headache for opposition defenders. A prolific goal-kicker when on song.

Jordyn Burke

Brad Hartigan Former coach who continues to lead by example. Is the most important cog in Horsham’s midfield in the absence of Deek Roberts. Crucial in winning the hard ball in stoppages and releasing the ball to outside runners.

We have very season with injuries and players absent due to young goalies in Maggie Caris, other sporting commitments. The second half Lavinia Fox and Abby Hallam, who are of the season was more positive, with players accurate and play at a high level. Our dereturning and allowing us to have a full squad to fence end is also strong, with Rene Caris, Ellie pick from.

WNA Finals Fighting back Proudly brought to you by:

Ararat Rats

Ararat’s road to the finals Coach: Donna Spalding Round 1: W. 56 d Stawell 31. Home.

rarat is a traditional giant in Wimmera Netball Association but has had to climb its way back up the ladder and in the process has endured a tough season, winning 10 games but losing five.

The Weekly Advertiser asked A Grade coach Donna Spalding to provide insight into the Rats’ resurgence. At what stage did you believe you had an A Grade team capable of playing finals? Spalding: “It was probably at the end of the first round of matches when I knew we could make a return back to the finals after a two-year absence. Our draw against Horsham in round seven gave the girls some self-belief.” What do you consider have been the major hurdles in getting your team to the finals and how did you overcome them? Spalding: “Our second round didn’t go to plan. We had a chance to stay in the top three, however two of our key players were injured prior to the Warracknabeal match – centre Kate Bligh and goal shooter Tahnee Walker. This was a massive blow because both players are hard to replace. If we had won against Minyip-Murtoa in round 15 we would have cemented third spot on the ladder.” What does your team have to do to get into a position to play off in a grand final? Spalding: “My game plan has been consistent because it suits the players we have

on the court. Potentially this team could go all the way if we have our strongest seven on the court doing their job.”

Round 2: W. 51 d Horsham Saints 34. Away. Round 3: W. 57 d Dimboola 34. Home. * Round 4: W. 53 d Southern Mallee Giants 49. Away.

Who have been your key players, leaders, mentors and so on who have helped you get to the finals and what have they done that has impressed you as a coach?

Round 5: L. 46 lost to Warrack Eagles 60. Home.

Round 6: L. 22 lost to Minyip-Murtoa 44. Away. **

Spalding: “Our key players have included vice-captain Kate Bligh, mainly in the centre. She brings a wealth of experience to this team and her passing into the circle is exceptional. Krystal Fisher, goal defence, is an agile player who has excellent reach. She is a true competitor who has won games for us this season. Our captain Jess Williamson gives 100 percent every game and uses her speed well to make herself available down the court. Goal shooter Tahnee Walker is our most experienced player and worked well with first-year player and goal attack Tayla Borrelli. Both players have shot accurately this season.”

Round 7: D. 48 drew with Horsham 48. Home.

Round 8: W. 55 d Nhill 26. Home. Round 9: Bye. Round 10: W. 55 d Stawell 29. Away. Round 11: W. 52 d Horsham Saints 51. Home.

Round 12: W. 54 d Dimboola 42. Away.

Round 13: W. 52 d Southern Mallee Giants 33. Home.

Round 14: L. 31 lost to Warrack Eagles 51. Away. Round 15: L. 41 lost to Minyip-Murtoa 52. Home.

From structural, physical and psychological points of view, what are the strengths you can exploit in your team and what are the weaknesses you have to overcome? Spalding: “Our team is a blend of both experience and youth. The players show a sense of care for each other on and off the court. They know that there is no ‘I’ in team.”

Round 16: L. 37 lost to Horsham 59. Away. Round 17: W. 44 d Nhill 34. Away. Round 18: Bye. * Highest score ** Lowest score Total: Won: 10. Lost: 5. Draw: 1. For: 754. Against: 687. Points: 46. Percentage: 109.75.

inyip-Murtoa has had to pick up the pieces after deathknock grand-final disappointment in Wimmera Netball Association last year.

The Burras have continued to be a force this year, winning 12 of their 15 games, and now confront another testing finals series. With teams preparing for the end-of-season playoffs, The Weekly Advertiser asked Burras coach Claire Drum for her thoughts. At what stage did you believe you had an A Grade team capable of playing finals? Drum: “From the start we had faith that we could make finals. We had all but one of last year’s team available and were fortunate to pick up Georgia McLennan to replace injured Jessie Elder.” What do you consider have been the major hurdles in getting your team to the finals and how did you overcome them? What are the biggest hurdles now you are in the finals? Drum: “Losing two of our three strong defenders to season-ending injuries has been a challenge but we have been fortunate to bring back Bianca Drum and bring up Stacey Arnold from B Grade. Both players have stepped into the team well and have added their own skills.” What does your team have to do to get into a position to play off in a grand final? Drum: “It’s pretty simple really – win all our games. Each of the teams in the finals has its own style, so we have to play to negate them while also playing our own game strongly.” Who have been your key players, leaders,

mentors and so on w h o have helped you get to the finals? Drum: “All memb e r s of the team have worked hard to improve themselves. Paula Wiedermann as captain has led the team well and taken on the load of working with two new defensive partners while lifting her own game. Kirby Knight remains strong in goals and is well supported by both Maddi Morgan and Georgia McLennan. Our centre court of Ash Knight, Billie Bibby and Laura Delahunty, as well as Georgia, continually strive to improve.” From structural, physical and psychological points of view, what are the strengths you can exploit in your team and what are the weaknesses you have to overcome to be successful in the finals? Drum: “With the results of the past three years, A Grade has a stronger desire to finish the season positively and has been working hard on strengthening our team confidence, skills, adaptability and structure. How do you see the short and long-term future of netball at your club? Drum: “The club has had excellent results in seniors in the past four years. We have a great junior program where development has been the focus, closely tied with the enjoyment of the game. Continual coach, umpire and player development will strengthen the game.”

WNA Finals

Proudly brought to you by:

Horsham Demons

Tough opponents A

perennial Wimmera Netball Association powerhouse, Horsham has such a reputation that it is the team everyone else loves to beat.

But historically those opportunities have been far and few between, with the Demons consistently producing quality flagship teams. This year the Demons have snapped close at the heels of competition leaders Warrack Eagles, winning all but two home-and-away games. The Weekly Advertiser asked coach Pauline Butler how the season had unfolded and what she expected come finals. At what stage did you believe you had an A Grade team capable of playing finals? Butler: “At the end of our team selection process, I thought we had a pretty good side and a lot of flexibility with girls being able to play multiple positions. Without knowing what other sides had recruited like in the off season you just never know, but after the first round I was confident that we would make the final five.” What do you consider have been the major hurdles in getting your team to the finals and how did you overcome them? What are the biggest hurdles now you are in the finals? Butler: “Probably the biggest hurdle for us with such a flexible side was finding out which combinations were required to win certain games. Obviously injury is always a concern but I am confident we have the depth to cover this.” What does your team have to do to get into a position to play off in a grand final? Butler: “We will need to bring our A game and

play out four consistent quarters. Our approach will be the same. With each team we play we will need to look at how we shut down key players and this will differ from side to side.” Who have been your key players, leaders, mentors and so on who have helped you get to the finals? Butler: “All players have impressed me this year. Each player has stood up when required. They all have the ability to play multiple positions and they adjust well to changes very quickly. I will be looking at all my players to stand up in the finals and will expect them to play their role and work together as a team.” From structural, physical and psychological points of view, what are the strengths you can exploit in your team and what are the weaknesses you have to overcome to be successful in the finals? Butler: “We will need to look at each opposition each week and look at how we can shut down their game plan. We will be looking at how we can exploit weaknesses and adapt to change. I am confident our team will adjust when required.” How do you see the short and long-term future of netball at your club? Butler: “I believe our club has one of the best junior development programs going around. Our coaches all work together to ensure girls transitioning through to the next grade or who are called upon to play in a higher grade are equipped with the relevant knowledge and skills to be successful.”

WNA Finals A potent force

Proudly brought to you by:

Warrack Eagles

Warrack Eagles’ road to the finals Coaches: Sarah Spicer, Jane Richardson

here has been little doubt for much of Wimmera Netball Association’s A Grade year that Warrack Eagles are one of the teams to beat for this year’s flag.

Round 1: W. 71 d Southern Mallee Giants 12. Anzac Park.

Round 2: W. 50 d Nhill 31. Away. Round 3: L. 40 lost to Minyip-Murtoa 42. Away.

The Eagles have a high-quality line-up, a group that has produced 14 wins for the season. A Grade coach Jane Richardson provided The Weekly Advertiser with a snapshot of her thoughts on why the Eagles have done well and what the future holds. At what stage did you believe you had an A Grade team capable of playing finals? Richardson: “When we were selecting sides in our pre-season we thought the team we put together had a really good chance of making finals. Most of the girls had played together during the past few years and knew each other’s games well.” What do you consider have been the major hurdles in getting your team to the finals and how did you overcome them? What are the biggest hurdles now you are in the finals? Richardson: “Trying to keep our playing list fit for the season and just managing workloads has been something we have had to work on. It’s something we continually try to manage.” What does your team have to do to get into a position to play off in a grand final? Richardson: “Consistency is something we have worked on since last year when we thought our games could be a little inconsistent.” Who have been your key players, leaders,

mentors and so on who have helped you get to the finals? Richardson: “Our captain Emma Koschitzke has been an outstanding leader for us. Her work ethic at training and on game day leads the way for the rest of the group. Megan Werner has also been a key player this year. She has been a real focal point in and around goals. Briodi McKenzie has also been impressive and she and Megan have developed into a really exciting combination in goals. Penny Fisher has continued to perform well and will be instrumental in our finals campaign. For on-court leaders we can’t go past having Sarah Spicer back in the team after her knee reconstruction last year. She is a game changer.” From structural, physical and psychological points of view, what are the strengths you can exploit in your team and what are the weaknesses you have to overcome to be successful in the finals? Richardson: “Most of our team has played together for the past few years so that knowledge of each other’s games will certainly be a strength. We also pride ourselves on our strong all-court defence.” How do you see the short and long-term future of netball at your club? Richardson: “We have pretty good numbers in our senior teams and our juniors are rebuilding after a few years of low numbers. Our net set go program has good numbers though so hopefully we can keep these girls interested in netball in the future.”

he Seriously Shiraz festival returns to the Grampians this weekend, just in time for Father’s Day celebrations and the start of spring.

Sunday is Father’s Day and the highly anticipated annual wine weekend provides the perfect way for families to celebrate all things about dad. Seriously Shiraz brings the Grampians to life with a range of events to celebrate the region’s award-winning shiraz wine, for which the area is renowned. The weekend includes a broad range of activities from wine-maker master classes and unique tasting experiences to live music. Only two hours from Melbourne and one hour from Ballarat, the festival has become a magnet for weekend visitors to get out of town for a weekend, especially to celebrate with dad while exploring the stunning Grampians wine region. Celebrating their recent five-star red-star ratings by James Halliday’s Wine Companion 2019, Grampians region wineries including Best’s Great Western, Grampians Estate, Mount Langi Ghiran, Seppelt Great Western and Fallen Giants will be at the festival, along with Mountainside Wines, Norton Estate, Steel Cutters Cottage and Clarnette and Ludvigsen. The festival will put the culinary spotlight on the Grampians. Latest wine-quality ratings continue to establish the Grampians as one of the leading wine regions in Australia. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said Seriously Shiraz involved an exciting selection of Grampians wineries and winemakers who were serious about producing

Cr Allgood said fundraising had ‘well and truly’ exceeded initial expectations of a $100,000 target, with donations to date climbing to $234,000. “The generous contribution and long-term investment in the Ararat arts scene by donors will help enhance the visitor experience offered at our fabulous facility for future generations,” she said. Cr Allgood said signs and honour boards at the venue would acknowledge major community contributors. She said she was keen to make special mention of the three ‘Life Patron’ donors. “The Peggy and Leslie Cranbourne Foundation has enabled the establishment of new gallery collection areas and the upgrade of the art and craft workshop,” she said.

“Thank you to Reverend Ian George and the trustees for their enthusiastic support. “Thank you also to Rowly and Judy Paterson for their donation to the project and the support provided by their business, the ACE Radio Broadcasters, as the town hall and art gallery’s principal media partner. “And last but not least, the Ararat Eisteddfod Committee. Its generous donation helped to upgrade the town hall’s kitchen.” Other project donors included – Principal Patrons: Andrew and Sue Cunningham. Patrons: Ararat Medical Centre, Cor and Jill Lenghaus, Merle Hathway and Murray Taylor, Neil Manning, Julie-Ann McEwan, Carole and Greg Mules, Louise Staley. Champions: Nanette Bourke, Peta Caldwell, Anthony Camm, Elizabeth Crauford, Janet De Boer, Janette Lucas and Geoff Todd, Joyce Matheson, Moyston Arts Inc, Stan Kelly Art Group, Helen Vincent, The Vinnicombe Family.

rarat Arts Precinct Redevelopment

Community responds A

rarat Town Hall – one of the rural city’s most prominent and iconic buildings – re-opened its doors to the community this month, resplendent in a precinct that now includes an upgraded theatre, foyers, extended gallery and new café and bar area.

More than 1000 people took advantage of a community preview weekend to see the $7.7-million town hall redevelopment firsthand. The original Ararat Town Hall auditorium has undergone a major renovation with new lighting and a world-class sound system, mounted on a state-of-the-art automated gantry. Venue co-ordinator Jacqueline Grenfell said a great deal of thought and consideration had gone into the redevelopment of the main auditorium. “Visitors will see a marked difference, not only in terms of the styling and aesthetics, but especially when it comes to the sound and lighting – the performing arts experience will be incredible,” she said. The community preview weekend included a range of performances from Ararat primary school children, Ararat City Band, Ararat Musical Comedy Society, comedian Urzila Carlson, musician Isaiah and others.

NEW SPACE: Kylee Whiting admires the permanent Sarah crowEST exhibit at Ararat Art Gallery. The reopening also marked the return of the venue’s 1952 Steinway baby grand piano, originally bought through community donations and now restored to its original condition. Also coinciding with the reopening is the 50th year of the former Ararat Regional Art Gallery – now rebranded as Ararat Gallery TAMA, Textile Art Museum Australia. The redevelopment has doubled the gallery’s exhibition and collection spaces, adding a prominent entrance from Vincent Street. Gallery director Anthony Camm said the gallery had been collecting textile and fibre art since the

early 1970s. “We hold one of Australia’s most comprehensive collections of post-1960s textile and fibre arts and we can now properly showcase it for the first time,” he said. Ararat Gallery TAMA launched with Kylie on Stage, a major exhibition from Arts Centre Melbourne and Australian Music Vault that celebrates memorable moments from Kylie Minogue’s colourful concert tours. The building includes a new purpose-built gallery, to be devoted to contemporary textile practice, with an exhibition from Sarah crowEST called ‘Material Constructs: The Home Stretch’.

The Slow Art Collective also presented Archi Loom at a handson community weaving event. Federal Member for Wannon Dan Tehan, Victorian Regional Development Minister Jaala Pulford and Ararat mayor Gwenda Allgood officially opened Ararat Arts Precinct redevelopment on August 2. The Ararat Arts Precinct redevelopment has been funded via a partnership between the Victorian Government, $5.2-million, Ararat Rural City Council, $1.49-million, the Federal Government’s National Stronger Regions Fund, $945,000, and the regional community, $234,000.

Talent on show Australian Recording Industry Association award-winning guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan will perform works from their latest album, Songs Without Words at Ararat Town Hall in September. Although regarded as one of Australia’s finest guitar duos – performing much of the instrument’s standard classical repertoire – the Grigoryan brothers’ passion is to expand their horizons through new arrangements. This ambition can be heard as the brothers take the classical guitar into genres such as jazz, folk and contemporary music. The performance will be on September 6 from 7.30pm with tickets on sale through www.ararattownhall.com.au. Adults will pay $25 and a concession-child price is $15. Ararat Town Hall venue co-ordinator Jacqueline Grenfell said the Grigoryan brothers’ broad spectrum of musical styles and classical training resulted in a unique sound. “This concert kicks off a big second half of programing at Ararat Town Hall,” she said. “Together with regular community users such as the Ararat Eisteddfod and school plays that are booked in, we have a mix of shows that will please everyone’s tastes.” Ms Grenfell said Swing Man by Damian Callinan on September 19 was a performance also likely to entertain and encourage an audience to laugh out loud. Callinan, a renowned character and stand-up comedian suffers from ‘OTTDs, or Over the Top Dance Syndrome’. After years of eschewing partner dancing and cutting up dance floors on his own, he discovered the only cure was to learn how to swing dance. Cabaret opera, Death by Soprano and award-winning play Hotel Sorrento are also highlights in the coming months. “We are extremely lucky to have such great talent coming to perform in our new auditorium. So please come along and show your support of the performing arts,” Ms Grenfell said. “The best way to stay up to date on upcoming shows is to visit our new website, www.ararattownhall.com. au or like ‘Ararat Town Hall’ on Facebook.”

CARWORKS.COM.AU Wednesday, August 29, 2018

Opel outs experimental SUV pel has revealed its first concept car under the control of PSA Group, with the all-electric GT X Experimental SUV previewing the future design direction of the former General Motors-owned German brand.

Designed by Opel vice-president of design Mark Adams, the GT X Experimental is built on a lightweight platform and measures 4063mm long, 1830mm wide and 1528mm tall with a 2625mm wheelbase – placing it in the small SUV segment against similarlysized competitors such as the Mazda CX-3 and Citroen C4 Cactus. Pointing to the future of Opel models, the new-look front grille – dubbed Vizor – incorporates an illuminated brand logo, LED matrix headlights, wing-shaped daytime running lights and forward-facing cameras and sensors under dark-tinted Plexiglas. Spanning the entire width of the front section, the Vizor gives the show car a broad stance, which will be incorporated into all new Opel models by the latter half of the next decade. Above the grille sits a sculpted black-contrast bonnet that draws the eye towards the one-piece glass windscreen and panoramic roof. The rear fascia element reflects the front’s Vizor with wing-shaped taillights and sharp edges, while promi-

LOOKING FORWARD: Future Opel products will be influenced by the design of the GT X Experimental SUV concept.

nent dark-coloured underbody cladding has also been fitted to denote the GT X Experimental’s crossover intentions. Strong vertical and horizontal accent lines also wrap around the concept crossover, a design motif called Opel Compass that draws attention to both front and rear centre badges. The GT X Experimental is also fitted with bespoke 17-inch wheels featuring yellow highlights to match the colour of the accent stripe on the bodywork. If the near seamless body work and bulging proportions are not enough to

give away the GT X Experimental’s concept car status, its lack of wing mirrors and doorhandles should be a dead giveaway. Rear-hinged second-row doors are also fitted, with each door able to open up to 90 degrees for ease of ingress and egress. Without any B-pillar to obstruct vision, occupants are given a near seamless view of their surroundings, aided by the aforementioned panoramic glass roof. Instrumentation is housed in an all-digital module similarly shaped to the Vizor front grille, which also

mental will pave the way for all of the brand’s future models. “We have a very clear vision of how we want to create a successful future for Opel,” he said. “Focus on a strong brand identity defined by our values – German, approachable, exciting – plays an integral role in our return to sustainable success. “Our engineering and design teams have put this into effect brilliantly in the Opel GT X Experimental. “It gives a clear idea of how we at Opel see the mobility future.” Meanwhile, Mr Adams said it was an ‘approachable’ concept that people could identify with. “It confidently combines a pure and bold design execution with progressive technology that makes life easier,” he said. “Clearly, this vehicle signals a very exciting future for the brand.” Although Opel’s GT sportscar concept revealed at the 2016 Geneva motor show was built by Holden as one of only two fabrication workshops under the General Motors umbrella, a spokesperson confirmed to GoAuto there was no Australian involvement in the GT X Experimental. Opel has been under PSA Group control since early last year. – Tung Nguyen

Ford refines Everest large SUV

ord Australia says customer feedback has played a large role in the changes made to its updated Everest large SUV, with a particular focus on making the ladder-frame off-roader more comfortable and easy to drive.

Speaking to GoAuto at the launch of the refreshed model, Ford global program manager for Everest Dan Ciccocioppo said the updates aimed to improve the vehicle’s refinement and noise levels. “What we have focused on has been around the ride and plushness and the noise, vibration and harshness, NVH, to make it more appealing with more car-like attributes,” he said. The Everest, which is mechanically related to the Ranger pick-up, plays in the same segment as more comfortoriented offerings such as the Mazda CX-9, Toyota Kluger and Kia Sorento. Changes have been made to close the gap on its rivals. Ford engineers have redesigned the Everest’s stabiliser bars for added stiffness, which has in turn allowed the spring rates to be lowered, resulting in greater roll control and a softer and plusher ride quality. NVH improvements have also resulted in a four decibel improvement in noise insulation thanks to noisecancelling technology and the fitment

WE’VE LISTENED: Customer feedback has played a large role in the changes made to Ford Australia’s updated Everest large SUV.

of acoustic windscreens. “Everest has only been in the market for three years and we’ve been constantly getting customer feedback during that time and trying to bring in changes as we get that,” Mr Ciccocioppo said. “This model update is really more about significant changes based on all of that feedback.” Aside from the refinement improvements, the biggest change to the new Everest has been the introduction of the 2.0-litre twin-turbo-diesel fourcylinder engine borrowed from the updated Ranger, which is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford says the new engine, which

outputs 157kW-500Nm, improves fuel economy over the existing 3.2-litre five-pot oil-burner by 17 percent, and results in a lower cost of ownership over time. It also adds 100kg to the car’s braked towing capacity, up to 3100kg. The range is split between the two mills, with the entry-level Ambiente coming with the 143kW-470Nm fivecylinder engine, while the mid-spec Trend offers a mix of the two, and the range-topping Titanium comes with a bi-turbo engine only. Ford Australia Everest product marketing manager Karen Larkin said so far, the Trend had been by far the most

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

popular variant and she expected that theme to continue with the updated version. Changes to specification include making Sync3 with satellite navigation standard across the range, while the Ambiente entry-level variant also gains halogen headlamps with manual levelling and daytime running lights, folding side mirrors, smart keyless entry, a laminated acoustic windscreen, push-button start, new gear shifter and darker interior finishes. New to the Trend is autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign assist, HID headlamps with auto-levelling, LED daytime running lights,

power tailgate, leather-accented seat trim, eight-way power driver’s seat with manual lumbar adjustment and a leather-trimmed gear shifter. Along with the new engine, the Titanium now comes with 20-inch alloys, leather-trimmed handbrake and a tow bar as standard. Different versions are offered with either five or seven-seat layouts, while buyers can also choose between rear or all-wheel drivelines. While the Ranger is offered with a part-time four-wheel-drive system, the Everest is different in that it employs a full-time on-road all-wheel-drive set-up. Pricing has been updated slightly, with the point of entry increasing by $1200 to $49,190 plus on-roads for the rear-drive, five-seat Ambiente, which is offered with the choice of rear or all-wheel drive and five or seven seats. Optioning seven seats adds $1000 to the price, while the 4WD drivetrain demands a $5000 premium. Three Trend versions are available, starting with the $56,190 rear-drive bi-turbo, up to the 4WD 3.2-litre at $59,990 and the 4WD bi-turbo from $61,190. All Trends come only with the seven-seat option. The sole Titanium variant adds a sizeable $12,800 premium over the most expensive Trend at $73,990. – Robbie Wallis

Isuzu to carry Aussie flavour

ustralian feedback is expected to heavily influence specification levels of Isuzu Ute’s third-generation D-Max pick-up due to be revealed in 2020.

Speaking to journalists at the unveiling of the D-Max and MU-X Concept X pair, Isuzu Ute Australia senior regional fleet sales manager for the southern region Kevin Griffiths said to expect increased safety equipment in the new models, keeping them in line with local standards. “You’ll see safety features because obviously that’s driven by legislation,” he said. “So whatever legislation is, you’ll see some safety feature changes as a matter of having to do that to comply.” The inclusion of autonomous emergency braking is now mandatory for a full five-star Australasian New Car Assessment Program crash test score, meaning the collision avoidance technology will likely be included across the board in the new-generation MU-X and D-Max. Furthermore, equipment such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and rear cross-traffic alert, which are off the table for current vehicles, could also be offered in the updated ute and seven-seat SUV. As for powertrain options, Mr Griffiths would not be drawn on particulars, but said the current 3.0-litre turbodiesel unit, outputting 130kW-430Nm,

MAXED OUT: The third-generation D-Max is set for a 2020 reveal and is expected to feature equipment tailored for the Australian market. Pictured is the current generation.

is a local-market-specific engine that complies with current standards. “That 3.0-litre turbo-diesel, that engine was built for Australia,” he said. “So if you look globally, Isuzu’s got a 2.5 or even a 1.9, but in Australia, it’s a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel because we made that Euro 5 compatible because that’s what the Australian market wants.

“It’s only in this country that you can get that engine.” An update to the powertrain could also debut with the changeover to a new model, with improved outputs and efficiencies, but it is currently unconfirmed if the engine or six-speed automatic transmission will carry over. As for the MU-X, Mr Griffiths said

to expect further differentiation between the donor D-Max and the large seven-seater to give the MU-X a more mainstream appeal. “If you go back two years, or three years ago, there wasn’t a lot of difference. That’s dramatically changed now,” he said. “Look at where the market feedback is. It’s trying to make it a little more

quieter, to try to make the ride a bit more softer or smooth, so we have to try to find something to meet that demand otherwise we’ll be left behind. “We want it to be a bit more passenger-friendly, and we’ve certainly done that in the past 18 months, and will continue to do so.” – Tung Nguyen

Tesla Model 3 lands in Oz ahead of 2019 launch

Tesla Australia has become the first division outside the US to show its Model 3 to thousands of customers who have placed a $1500 deposit for the medium-sized electric vehicle at least a year before they will be delivered. A trio of left-hand-drive Model 3s have been imported, bound for three Tesla stores nationwide, in middle-grade, rear-wheel drive and longrange battery specification, all with optional 19-inch alloy wheels and a premium interior. A silver sedan is headed to Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley

store, while red examples are each destined for Sydney’s Martin Place and Melbourne’s Chadstone Shopping Centre stores, initially for a private showing for customers – however the public is now invited to see the vehicle at the stores. Tesla Australia senior manager of marketing and communications Heath Walker declined to specify how many locals had placed a deposit for the Model 3, but said it was in the thousands given how many had been invited to the showing. “We wanted to give our reservation holders a first look,

an exclusive look,” he said. “We’ll answer questions while they’re queuing up, and then they’ll get about five minutes in the vehicle to actually sit in and experience and see what it’s like. I guess that will help prepare them for future choices when they do go in to design their car.” Currently those placing a $1500 deposit have only been able to hold a reservation for a generic Model 3, unable to yet select a model grade, options, an exterior colour or interior trim – and nor have they been told the exact price.

However, Mr Walker confirmed Australia would follow the US with three Model 3 model grades – the entry-level rear-wheel drive short-range battery, the middle-tier version with a long-range battery, and the ‘performance’ with the latter’s big battery but quicker acceleration and goodies such as a track mode. Unlike with the Model S, which has badging that denotes the size of the battery pack in kilowatt hours, Mr Walker said Tesla would not confirm or refer to the battery size in the Model 3.

Robot Motors

“We don’t give away the size of the battery, so we’ve got a standard battery and a longrange battery,” he said. “We’ve found that a lot of people don’t understand what kilowatt hours are, so we’re just keeping it based on range. “So there’s standard battery, long-range with rear-wheel drive, and then you’ve got long-range with dual motor and all-wheel drive, and long-range dual-motor with performance option. “Standard battery is about a 350km range, and the longrange battery is 500km.”

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

www.mcdonaldsteelhorsham.com.au The beauty of Spring

This week leads us out of the cold, dreary days of winter and into the beauty of Spring. The birds start to sing a new song, the flowers begin to bloom, the sun’s rays peak through the clouds, and there is a freshness in the air. Spring lambs are born and seen frolicking in the fields; all in all, Spring is in the air, a time when all creation seems to come alive again. In the Bible, Song of Solomon 2:11-12 the writer paints a beautiful picture of Spring for us… For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. What does Spring mean to you? Is it time to “Spring Clean” the house and toss out all the clutter that has built up over the year? Does it mean extra hard work for you as a farmer? Are you planning your Spring wedding and there is more than the hint of excitement in the air? For many, Spring brings with it the Hope of new life, a bridge between Winter and Summer and a time of renewal. This Spring, “Hope” can be the anchor for your soul, holding you safe and steady. The road ahead may at times be rough with spins and turns, deep valleys and steep uphill climbs but that Season too will pass and Spring will come again with its new life, new hopes and fresh new dreams.

Teams brace for finals challenge W

BY SIMON KING

ith the first teams locked into Wimmera Hockey Association’s three grand finals, preliminary finals this weekend will decide their opponents.

All six teams to take to the field at Kaniva on Saturday will have their own motivations. This will lead to three captivating games of hockey worthy of the lead-in to feature games of the season the following week. In open competition, the preliminary final will be between Warrack Hoops and Kaniva Cobras. Yanac Tigers qualified for an unprecedented 13th consecutive grand final last week after overcoming Warrack Hoops. It is by no means a disgrace to lose a semi-final to a three-time reigning champion team that has not lost a game in two-and-a-half seasons. But Warrack Hoops might not be taking such a philosophical view of the result of their game last Saturday. The only team to take points off the all-conquering Tigers this season, with two drawn games, and being the last team to defeat them back in round 13, 2016, the Hoops would dearly like to have one more crack at their arch enemy. But they need to overcome Kaniva Cobras. The Cobras are coming off the highest scoring semi-final last weekend

Wednesday, August 29, 2018

when five goals were scored, overcoming a gallant Dimboola Burras to progress to within one win of their second ever grand-final appearance. Throughout this season the Cobras have troubled the Hoops, registering two wins from their three games, but the goals tally is two each over the season, indicating that these two teams are evenly matched. Both have a significant incentive to win, so this should prove to be an enthralling encounter. As with most games this season, the exact combination of players to take to the field will go a long way to determine which team wins. Leading players for the Hoops include Cameron Bardell and Hamish Wagenknecht in the midfield, Russell Brown as the last line of defence and Jarrod Knoop and Sandon Schultz in the forward line, but it might come down to the contribution by the fringe players to get the team over the line. Lachie Mills, Dave Cole and Clint Beattie have been pivotal for the Cobras all season, but they too have many other players who are capable of stepping up.

Women

In a women’s division preliminary final, Yanac Women will play Horsham Jets. From very early this season there has been a considerable gap between

who finished on top of the ladder with 12 wins from 15 games. It would be difficult to tip against Yanac bouncing back from its narrow defeat last weekend, but the Jets go into this game with nothing to lose. If the game were to come down to extra time or penalty strokes, it could go either way. Yanac has leading players all over the field, but Erin Alexander, Shanaye Alexander, Susan Hedt and Mikayla Farmers will be players their team-mates will look to for leadership and structure. The Jets’ best performances this season have been when their big four players, Ellie Morrow, Sophie Robinson, Launa Schilling and Robyn Creek, all fire at the same time, and this will be an important factor on Saturday.

Under-16s

ON THE CHARGE: Hamish Wagenknecht was among the Warrack Hoops’ best players in a semi-final clash against the Yanac Tigers. Picture: SIMON KING the top two teams and the rest of the women’s competition, illustrated by the one-sided head-to-head record between these teams. The Jets did not win their first game until round five and only finished with five victories, in contrast to Yanac

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

The under-16 competition also had two standout teams from early in the season, with the Revengers already through to the grand final and Yanac Warriors clearly the other dominant team. The Warriors take on Nhill Leopards this weekend and while the Leopards were a step below the leaders, they were also well above the remaining three teams. Mikayla Farmers has had a great season in both the under-16 and women’s competitions, but it will be her

ability to lead her team that will see it win. Jasper Croot, Nathan Colbert and Alexis Farmers will also need to play significant roles. Leopards rely heavily on Jason Reichelt up forward, Ellie Murden in the midfield and Kendra Clark at full back, but they too will need contributions from all players. Results – First semi-finals: Open, Kaniva Cobras 3 (Goals, D. Shalders, D. Cole, M. McDonald; Best, L. Mills, D. Cole, D. Shalders) d Dimboola Burras 2 (T. Krelle 2; T. Dent, T. Krelle, B.

Reichelt, J. Reichelt, K. Clark) d Kaniva Raiders 0 (O. Williams, M. Goodwin, B. Williams). Second semi-finals: Open, Yanac Tigers 1 (M. Dart; T. Alexander, J. Honeyman, B. Alexander) d Warrack Hoops 0 (C. Bardell, H. Wagenknecht, T. Krahe); women, Dimboola Roos 2 (J. Hauselburger, V. Smithyman; B. McMaster, E. Klinge, R. Albrecht, R. Lovett) d Yanac Women 1 (C.

State teams in Horsham V

BY DAVID BERRY

ic West state team coaches left Horsham with more questions than answers after a successful training camp at the weekend.

Three Vic West state teams – under-17 boys and girls and under-15 boys – used the weekend to fine-tune their preparations for the Australian Junior Volleyball Championships on the Gold Coast at the end of September. Part of the camp included a mini tournament on Sunday against Volleyball Horsham teams. Vic West under-17 boys team Sunraysia coach Chris Hermans was full of positives after the tournament. “This was exactly what my boys needed and what I needed as coach,” he said. “The standard of play was high and gave me plenty of ideas going forward. “My team was afforded good match play by the Horsham teams, and while we were soundly beaten in two of the three games, I could see a little bit of improvement as each match was played.” Vic West under-17 girls assistant coach, Volleyball Horsham’s Kara Johnson, was also pleased with what her team achieved from the weekend.

“Our girls are learning to play a new style of volleyball and the three matches they had enabled them to put into practice, under match conditions, exactly how we want them to play,” she said. “We don’t get as much really good match play during our trainings, so the mini tournament was extremely valuable for our girls.” Vic West under-15 boys coach

Gavin Penny from Riddell’s Creek praised the work of the Horsham association. “Not only did my boys receive great match play, the whole weekend was successful because Volleyball Horsham was a tremendous host,” he said. “Jo Baker and her catering crew were fantastic and went above and beyond what we were expecting.

“It was a real eye opener for many of our parents who experienced volleyball in Horsham for the first time.” The Vic West teams will gather in Bendigo next weekend for their final training camp, before participating in a Bendigo junior tournament. National junior titles will be on the Gold Coast from September 29 until October 6.

Unusual results Horsham Homing Club members had unusual results in 468-kilometre races from Hillston on Saturday. The first race was the north-east line derby for older and yearling race pigeons and featured 15 members entering 318 birds. Birds took off at 6.50am in favourable weather conditions on a south-west flight path to Horsham. An eight to 12-kilometre south-easterly breeze for the first half of the flight through NSW suggested the potential of a relatively fast race. Hopes were dashed when of the 318 birds released, only four were in the lead bunch arriving into Horsham at 1.55pm after a seven-hour, five-minute flight. The leaders had averaged 67kmh. Considering the weather, members expected a much larger mob to reach their home region together. Possible explanations included multiple peregrine falcon attacks and-or a clash with race pigeons from another region. In a second race from Hillston, 30 minutes later, a smaller mob competed in an annual Breeders Plate Race for first-year race pigeons. This smaller batch of young birds took eight hours and 45 minutes for the leading mob to arrive back to their Horsham lofts. They had averaged 54kmh.

Results – Hillston Derby: 1. Rob Nelson, in a flying time of 7 hours 4 minutes and 52 seconds at a speed of 1107.12 metres a minutes; 2. Brian Watts, 7.03.28 at 1106; 3. Paul and Jayden McPhee, 7.03.25 at 1106.49; 4. Graham Elbourne 7.08.00 at 1103. Hillston Breeders Plate: 1. Graham Elbourne, 8.48.09 or 893.84; 2. The McPhee Family, 8.45.43 at 892.91; 3. Dennis Smith 8.45.45 at 889.15; 4. Robert Nelson 10.11.23 at 769.36.

promising starts to a season in regards to rain and forecasts. “Kaniva has probably missed out a little but as a general rule everyone else across the region has had good rain to either get their crops established or to sow with conﬁdence.” Widespread late autumn rain, heavy in some areas of the Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians, represents a potential trigger for the region to emerge from two dry and poor growing seasons and drought conditions.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Gibson breaks a two-year drought BY KEITH LOFTHOUSE

he redoubtable Peter Gibson only partly shook off a bridesmaid tag despite breaking through for his first win in two years with Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club at Warrak.

The 374-start veteran has long been the club’s most consistent performer but to his own frustration he has been a perennial place-getter. His past 10 starts have yielded four seconds, four thirds and now only his second win from 48 starts in the past three years, which include 32 top-four finishes. He almost came unstuck again in the 6.5-kilometre Watkins Family Handicap when threatened by Sandra Bywaters, a bolter who finished more than five minutes behind Gibson, 60, the week before but got within five seconds over a shorter distance this time. A mere 0.17 minutes separated the first four to finish.

Having previously won the Watkins in 2015, Gibson joins the ranks of two-time winners, now swelling to six without a three-time winner since the first in 1996. Gibson’s win was timely given the club’s next race, on September 16 after the Father’s Day bye, is the eight-kilometre Peter Gibson Handicap at Dunneworthy Common in Ararat.

Back to back

It took 30 years for Simon Edge to win his first ever foot race a fortnight ago and seven days to win his second. Despite being re-handicapped for his maiden win in the King of the Mountain at Halls Gap, Edge backed up a week later in a five-kilometre Ivan McDonald Handicap at Stawell’s Big Hill. “At the start of the season I’d picked out these two races as my best hopes,” he said. Clearly showing a liking for five-kilometre hill climbs, Edge had a decisive 26-second margin over the luckless Jess

Cass by the time they reached time-keepers with Nathan Baker closing fast, just four seconds further behind. Cass had been runner-up at her past three starts and winless after 15 attempts this season. But there are no hard feelings as she and Edge have formed a team with other club members to run a 25-kilometre leg of the Surfcoast Century ultra-marathon along the Great Ocean Road on September 15. Edge has increased his workload in preparation for the marathon, but now the Halls Gap schoolteacher faces a dilemma – how to maintain his momentum while on a weeklong camp with primary school students at Mount Baw Baw. In a sub-juniors one-kilometre race at Big Hill it was a Baker bonanza, with Johnno Baker beating brother Barney and Jerome Baker in third place. A three-kilometre Chris Blake Handicap on Stawell’s North Park track this Saturday is open to fun runners, from 4pm.

SUCCESS: Almost 250 runners, joggers, walkers, dogs and prams gathered at Horsham’s Sawyer Park on Saturday morning to launch the new Wimmera River parkrun. Organiser Andrew Sostheim said plenty of regional residents, tourists and parkrun pros participated in the fivekilometre event along the river. “To say we are blown away by the support is an understatement,” he said.

Uncertainty to fully test teams W

BY DEAN LAWSON

e could go through the motions and pencil HarrowBalmoral in for a semi-final win over Kalkee in Horsham District football on Saturday.

Yes, if finals were to follow homeand-away form, the Southern Roos would either skip away early or trade goals with the Kees for a half before then powering away and winning by about half a dozen goals. But finals have a habit of producing something a bit different from the average week-to-week football fixture. And it’s this air of unpredictability that Kalkee will hope floats across Natimuk Showground and stirs a pot of intrigue. Harrow-Balmoral is red-hot favourite to win the flag, which means everyone else in the finals is hunting the south-west force. In the past couple of weeks opposition team leaders would have studied, analysed, scrutinised and picked the Roos’ game apart in search of weaknesses. They would have struggled to find many, a fascinating development considering many predicted pre-season the Roos would tumble down the ladder. Nick Pekin has his men firing and would be confident his group would

have benefitted from a rest last week. He will know that when the teams last met the likes of Will Plush, Harrison Rees, James Staude and Clint Robinson shone and that he has plenty of other players such as Simon Close and Todd Lawrence, to name a few, to step up in a big game. Kees coaching duo Stuart Farr and Hamish Exell, similar to Pekin, will know all about the vagaries of finals football, as will players such as Simon Hobbs and veteran Steve Schultz. Hobbs and Schultz are part of the goal-kicking weaponry for the Kees, alongside Jayden Kuhne and Lachie Exell. This game should be outstanding and most likely a preview to the grand final. Can the Roos continue their surge or will it be the Kees who taste first blood? We’ll wait and see but it’s the Roos who start the contest as favourites.

Cut-throat action

The action will be no less intense in a cut-throat semi-final between Jeparit-Rainbow and Edenhope-Apsley at Dock Lake Reserve on Sunday. Both teams survived grueling elimination finals last week, Jeparit-Rainbow clinching a drama-filled clash against Natimuk United by 17 points

and Edenhope-Apsley coming from behind to dash Swifts’ hopes. Last week’s results suggest there will be no easing of the pressure with both teams putting their credentials on the line. While the Storm and Saints can already claim a degree of 2018 success by scoring wins in the finals, a preliminary final spot is up for grabs and everything else, for the moment, is irrelevant. But a taste of finals success might be the tonic that Jeparit-Rainbow needed to spur itself on in the last month of the season. Last week against the Rams, according to club scrutinisers, Ben Marra was at the pointy end of the Storm effort, alongside Tyler Edelsten, Luke Werner and Brad Hunter. Critically, Daniel Batson kicked five goals and Peter Weir had an impact. For the Saints, Jak Ryan and Matt Butler kicked six goals between them as Lachie Middleton impressed. Edenhope-Apsley had to make up a 32-point last-change deficit and a seven-goal final term underscored a message that it well and truly meant business in this finals series. This contest is a two-bob each way bet, especially on neutral ground and considering it’s one-all between the two during the season.

Intense encounters BY SARAH SCULLY

aharum’s A Grade will learn if its season-long focus on discipline and professionalism has paid off when it plays reigning premier Natimuk United for a grand final berth on Saturday.

The Demons have been one of the standout sides for the past few seasons but have been unable to capture Horsham District A Grade’s ultimate prize. Based on results this season, the minor premier deserves a grand final spot. But as everyone knows, success during the home-and-away season only gets you so far, with players needing to adapt to the heightened pressure, intensity and atmosphere of finals, along with different umpires. The Demons are strong across the board, both in body and skillset. They will start favourite against the Ewes at Natimuk, having won their only encounter this season by 11 goals. However, any team would be foolish to underestimate the reigning premiers.

STRONG: Harrow-Balmoral defender Ebonie Salter will be an important player on Sunday. Natimuk United has a wealth of finals experience along with a reputation for strong team unity and staying calm under pressure. The Ewes will take a steady approach this week, going about business as usual as they look to capitalise on any mistakes the Demons make. Spectators should be treated to a mouth-watering clash between the league’s top two sides. Expect a great battle between Natimuk United defenders Jo

Taylor and Casey Vanstan and Laharum goalies Caitlin Story and Maddie Iredell. Both duos are probably the best respective combinations in the league and will fight for every ball. But it is a match-up at the other end of the court likely to have the most bearing on the game as Laharum keeper Rebecca McIntyre and shooter Shannon Couch go head to head. McIntyre is the only defender to match Couch for height so she will need to be accurate to avoid fighting for rebounds. This match could go either way. Regardless, the loser will have another chance to fight their way through to the last dance during a preliminary final the following week.

Still in the race

Harrow-Balmoral and Edenhope-Apsley kept their finals campaigns alive with wins at the weekend and will clash at Taylors Lake on Sunday. The Southern Roos defeated Kalkee comfortably on Saturday, pulling away after a tight first quarter to win 51-29. Amy Lewis slotted an impressive 40 goals while centre Megan Russell and defender

TEXAN WARNEY MARQUEE HOT OFFER

Ebonie Salter impressed. The Kees were best served by defenders Clair McDonald and Coco Ledgar. The Saints came up trumps against Swifts by five goals, 47-42, in a frantic encounter at Rupanyup. Edenhope-Apsley used a 17-goal-to-nine second term to set up the win. Cynthia Watt was fantastic as the last line of defence while teammate Ash Ryan and her Swifts counterpart Courtney Morrow enjoyed a good battle all day. Swifts will look to build on their first finals experience in 16 years next season, while the Saints march on to their next challenge – the Roos. The Saints will look to play their fast style while the Roos will look to control the match with their calm, defensive approach. Both sides have one dominant goalie and will need support from their partner, particularly the Saints, as defenders Salter and Ella Rees will focus on cutting off feeds to Krystal Schapel. This game should also be a good one, but the Roos are likely to be too strong and survive to play another week.

Teams primed for finals opening W

The Eagles would be feeling comfortable after regular conspirers Nick Peters and Riley Morrow led the way against the Roos last week. And fans should keep an eye out for forward Dalton Jaensch, who might well prove the difference between the teams if he can get plenty of one-onone contests. A battle between the Eagles’ Shannon Argall and his Saints counterpart Michael Rowe will also be a highlight. Warrack Eagles is the tip to win in a gripping hard-fought finish.

BY DEAN LAWSON

arrack Eagles would be licking their lips with anticipation for Sunday’s Wimmera Football League elimination final at Nhill.

The Eagles, who sneaked into the top five after a season of uncertainty, would be bristling with confidence after absorbing news that Horsham Saints had experienced a pre-finals gutser. The Saints are the Eagles’ opponents this weekend but go into the contest having badly lost their last home-andaway game. Minyip-Murtoa, the side that surprised many by missing the finals, had a last hurrah at the weekend when it trampled the Saints by 47 points. At the same time, the Eagles finished off their season by skipping to an easy win over Dimboola. Last weekend’s results, despite coming from a dead rubber, can go three ways psychologically for the Saints – they can shrug it off as an irrelevance, use it as a finals spur, or succumb to a collective sense of vulnerability. It’s the last mindset that the Eagles will be fully keen to test, especially after little has separated the teams in games this year. The record shows the Eagles beat the Saints by 18 points earlier in the year

Qualifying final

LEADER: Warrack Eagles coach Ryan McKenzie will have his charges fired up for a hard-fought match against Horsham Saints at the weekend. and the Saints took home the lollies by a point a few weeks ago. The reality is that both teams are going to need to be at the top of their games to push through to the next week of the finals. Both like moving the ball rapidly with transitional overlap and expectations are that coaches from the respec-

tive camps – Ryan McKenzie for the Eagles and Luke Fisher for the Saints – will be pivotal. Fisher, Fergus O’Connor, Bowen Friend and Ben Martin go into the contest with good form and Jarred Combe is coming off a five-goal haul. But the Saints need everyone switched on and firing.

The action at Nhill will unfold on Sunday after Southern Mallee Giants and Ararat play off in a qualifying final at Horsham City Oval on Saturday. The winner in Horsham will take on a resting Horsham the following week and it is hard to look beyond the Giants securing their first win in Wimmera finals. It is a true clash between north and south, with the Rats getting their wish, to fly the representative flag for their south-east regional city, and the Giants reflective of all things southern Mallee. For the record, the Giants have won both contests between the two this year, the first at Beulah by more than six goals and the last by a similar amount at Ararat. On the first occa-

sion, the Giants shot out to an early unassailable lead and then in July produced a big second half to shake off the Rats. Much of what happens will depend on the make-up of the Ararat side and whether players such as Dan Mendes and Jack Ganley, if they can return from injury, have an influence on the game. We also look forward to what influence ruckman Zach Louder and strong Adam Haslett have in matching the Giants’ oomph across the ground. A last-round bye was important for the Rats, while the Giants used their final home-and-away round to flex their muscles against Nhill. The Giants appear to have strength on every line and last week it was Zac Robins with five goals, Jackson Fisher, Josh Webster and Sam White who led the way. But on any other occasion it might have been another group that did the damage. A few chalk-and-cheese players come to mind who might have a significant outcome on Saturday’s game. They include rover Clint Burdett, powerful Tyler Lehmann and springboard Sam Weddell. The Eagles will ultimately be too good for the Rats.

Burras, Demons set for showdown BY DEAN LAWSON

inyip-Murtoa and Horsham teams will take winning form into what is likely to be a fierce Wimmera Netball Association A Grade qualifying final on Saturday.

Both have set the platform for a mighty showdown in the confines of Horsham City Oval reserve with strong last-round victories and have sights set firmly on making the grand final. Horsham finished off its homeand-away season with a comfortable win over Stawell. But it was Minyip-Murtoa’s 18goal victory over 2017 grand-final opponents Horsham Saints that was the most profound of results. The Burras wanted a major launching pad into the finals after last year’s disappointment and after a neck-and-neck battle last weekend surged home with a runaway last quarter. The 24-goal-to-seven final stanza, with defender Paula Wiedermann and centre Billie Bib-

by leading the way, has primed Claire Drum’s team for the clash against Horsham. At the same time at Stawell, Horsham pulled away from the Warriors in the second term and from there was always well in control. Emma Buwalda shone under the ring, shooting 63 of Horsham’s 81 goals and looms as a major challenge for the Burras this weekend. Olivia Jones also won accolades for her game, initially in the pivot and then in partnership with Buwalda deep in attack. Saturday’s qualifying final will provide an example of some of the best attacking and defensive players in the competition. Defending premiers Horsham Saints, meanwhile, have to regroup to take on Ararat in an elimination final on Sunday. It’s a case of sudden death at Nhill’s Davis Park, ensuring the contest will be no less intense than the Saturday fixture. Shannon Reinheimer’s Saints

have burgeoning talent across the court but must rekindle a winning formula against Donna Spalding’s resurgent Rats at Nhill. Lavinia Fox and Ashlee Grace were prominent players for the Saints last week, while Ararat had the luxury of a last-round bye. Whether the Rats’ rest was more of a hindrance than benefit remains to be seen. Experienced players Kate Bligh in the middle and shooter Tahnee Walker will play critical roles and others such as defender Krystal Fisher and skipper Jess Williamson will also have a say. This contest will be slick and could be goal for goal based on centre passes right to the wire. Warrack Eagles finished top of the ladder and as premiership favourites will be interested onlookers as they put their feet up for a week. Round-18 results: Horsham d Stawell 81-37, Minyip-Murtoa d Horsham Saints 69-51, Warrack Eagles d Dimboola 62-29, Giants d Nhill 52-39.

READY TO ROLL: The Weekly Advertiser photographer Paul Carracher officially opens Wimmera Croquet Association’s season with association president Donna Frost and players at Horsham Croquet Club. The association, which formed in 1930, involves Horsham, Kalimna Park, Dimboola, Donald and Warracknabeal clubs. It runs an inter-club golf croquet pennant season from September to November and another competition during warmer months. Each year it presents Wimmera championships in both golf croquet and association croquet where winners earn the right to represent the Wimmera.

Court upgrade at Great Western Great Western Football Netball Club will benefit from a $100,000 upgrade to its netball court. Northern Grampians Shire Council successfully applied for the Sport and Recreation Victoria grant and will administer the project. Mayor Tony Driscoll said the project would see the netball court’s relocation at Great Western Recreation Reserve and include an upgrade to a dual-purpose netball-tennis court. It will also include the installation of an

acrylic surface for longer-term sustainability and installation of new lighting to meet training standards. “It’ll be great for the Great Western community in terms of revamping their netball courts, which have become almost unplayable,” Cr Driscoll said. “Great Western has a very vibrant netball community so it’s a great win for them and we’re appreciative of the State Government for their contribution.”

Bombers to take on might of ’Pies BY JONATHAN BOX

nly one more hurdle stands between Wickliffe-Lake Bolac and a third Mininera and District Football League grand final appearance in as many years, and that hurdle is Penshurst.

Penshurst, which finished second on the ladder, is no stranger to finals and knows what it takes to get the job done. The Bombers showed as much in a qualifying final against Glenthompson-Dunkeld where they were 69-point victors. Scores were even at quarter time. The second quarter was when Penshurst put its foot down and broke away to be ahead by 30 points at the main break. Better accuracy in front of the sticks might have led to a greater blow-out, but with momentum behind them the Bombers still over ran an injury-stricken Glenthompson-Dunkeld team. Chris Eales, Andrew Behncke and Ben Hunt kicked three

goals each in the win, while Sam Rentsch and coach Justin Eales led the way in the middle. Considering the 2018 form of Wickliffe-Lake Bolac, Penshurst will need these players to step up again in this weekend’s semi-final. The Magpies will be well rested after their week off and with their list of talent the smart money would be on them. Wickliffe-Lake Bolac boasts talent and depth all over the ground. Players to watch in the Magpies’ line-up include league leading goal-kicker Will Slattery, midfield players Brad Keilar, Bailey Veale, Harley Hunter and Taz Clinghan, as well as Tom Gibson, Chris Thornton and Mick Otto in the back line. Right across the ground they will be tough to beat. Although GlenthompsonDunkeld suffered a loss to Penshurst, it gets a second chance to progress to finals when it takes on Tatyoon on Sunday in a door-die semi-final. In a tight, wet game at

Hawkesdale last weekend, Tatyoon emerged victorious over Lismore-Derrinallum. The Demons got the jump on Tatyoon early and the Hawks went into half time trailing 18 to 34. The third quarter was where the Hawks made their move, kicking 3.2 to no score. The final term was a slog out in the wet conditions with both teams only managing two points each. Lachy Marr, Tim McDougall and David Brady all continued their good form and will be keen to keep winning. Michael Uebergang, Jack Oswald and Damien Logan were the better players for the Rams in their Penshurst loss.

$2-million price tag H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham would need to find about $2-million if it responded to international enthusiasm to host a world senior championship motocross round next year.

That’s the price tag for bringing the world’s best motocross riders, along with their teams and supporters to Australia and the Wimmera for an MXGP. Horsham Motorcycle Club president Kenny Watts said international officials, impressed by Horsham’s staging of world junior titles at Dooen, had sounded him out about the potential of ‘stepping up’.

“They were impressed – so much so that they told us they are eagerly awaiting an invitation to return,” he said. “Promoter Youthstream and FIM officials all spoke glowingly about our event and stressed a desire to bring its big brother – an MXGP, part of a 20-round series around the world – to Horsham. “The trouble is, while we’ve had such an amazing world junior event, we would need every bit of $2-million from government and-or other support agencies and businesses to make it happen. “In saying that, what we’ve learnt from the weekend is that the economic spin-offs easily justify that sort of in-

vestment – not only for the Wimmera, but for Victoria and Australia.” The world junior titles finished at Dooen on Sunday but the economic impact has continued as people use the occasion to have extended Australian holidays. “Some people are staying a while and continuing to spend money. For example, word is that one of the smaller national teams at the juniors went to a Horsham hotel for dinner and spent $800 in one hit. That gives a bit of an idea of its worth,” Mr Watts said. Estimations are that the 2018 FIM Junior Motocross World Championship conservatively generated more than $1-million for the regional econ-

omy despite the State Government investing only $80,000 in the event. More than 4000 fans flocked to Dooen Recreation Reserve on Sunday to watch the high-level junior motocross riding finals unfold. The crowd was slightly less for preliminary rounds the day before but a worldwide audience for both days was in the millions as 15 media organisations broadcasted the Horsham action around the globe. About 100 volunteers and officials were involved in staging the event, the first time the titles had come to Australia. Mr Watts said Horsham Rural City Council had been aware of the event’s significance and provided outstanding

support and ACE Radio had also been a strong supporter. “The truth is we could run a bigger senior event within 12 months if the funding was assured, but that’s a big call. From a regional tourism perspective it would more than pay for itself,” he said. “In the end, all we really want to do as a club is encourage more people to get involved in motocross riding.” The championships involved riders and teams from Australasia, Europe, Asia and the Americas. Australian Bailey Malkiewicz, familiar with the Dooen circuit, won the blue-ribbon 125cc class. Caden Braswell won the 85cc class and Braden Plath a 65cc class.
