Fire phone anxiety N

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

orthern Grampians community fire-fighting leaders remain fearful unreliable telecommunication services continue to threaten lives of people in bushfire-vulnerable farm and parkland.

Country Fire Authority representatives from Laharum, Brimpaen, Wonwondah and Green Lake districts are providing a united front in expressing frustration over the issue. They are particularly concerned about poor northern Grampians mobilephone coverage services they believe have deteriorated further since January. Northern Grampians is a farming and popular tourist region and has for the past decade had recognition as a service ‘blackspot’ zone. Despite communication providers and authorities responding with tech-

assorted ‘word-of-mouth’ communication, managing the crisis would become ‘unthinkable’. “Currently, we can’t be across any kind of evacuation situation, we won’t know who has decided to stay or leave, or where people at risk are,” he said. He said with so many variables at play during a fire emergency, current telecommunication coverage could make some evacuations unpractical. He said it might be too dangerous to send trucks and personnel into ‘risky’ situations without reliable and up-todate specific information. Mr Dumesny also said the region’s poor service coverage rendered the State Government’s official Supplementary Alerting Service app for emergency services personnel partially useless. The app, which uses mobile-phone

nological upgrades in the area, telephone landlines continue to be the only reliable communication for many northern Grampians residents. Laharum CFA captain Luke Dumesny said mobile service before January was ‘bearable’, but it was now ‘beyond a joke’. “The problems begin even just to make a triple-zero call. If someone is out in the paddock, you have no chance of reaching them on your phone,” he said. “We can manage the initial emergency call using our radios, but that’s just the start of our problems. What about organising equipment or personnel or anything collective fire services require in that sort of situation?” Mr Dumesny said while eventually ‘word’ might get out to other CFA leaders and emergency services through

data, can notify fire crews of emergencies, which brigades are responding to a blaze and their arrival estimates, as well as inter-CFA message capabilities and weather forecasts. It has quickly become an important emergency-services communication tool since its State Government launch in 2020. Mr Dumesny said the app’s main use was to alert fire crews in the region about incidents. “The app just isn’t serviceable without mobile-network data and it might update whenever we luck-out with network coverage. So, while we aren’t flying completely blind in that regard, it is a lowest common denominator situation with the app. If everyone isn’t across the information at the same time, really, no-one is.” Continued page 3

Cyclists to pedal into Grampians T

BY DEAN LAWSON

ourism and community leaders are encouraging Wimmera people, particularly in centres and settlements surrounding the Grampians, to open their arms to visiting cycling enthusiasts this week. About 1700 cyclists, who will also bring with them supporters and support teams, have started arriving at Halls Gap for the Little Vic Bike Ride, starting tomorrow. The Little Vic Bike Ride involves a 235-kilometre three-day loop ride

from Halls Gap to Dunkeld and back to Great Western. It represents the modified alternative to the Great Victorian Bike Ride that Bicycle Network had originally planned for the Wimmera-Mallee before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman, in encouraging the region to lay out the welcome mat, said it was important visiting cyclists had a happy and memorable experience. “Data shows that each person who participates in these rides invariably goes back to the region for another taste,” he said.

“For us it’s about building brand awareness. We’re encouraging people to extend their stays, to visit the Grampians and disperse further into the region. “It’s a great promotion. The research generally shows that people who come here come back for another bite within 12 months. “And this is a type of audience we want to attract – they like the outdoors, they like the big nature and they have money and time to spend. “As a destination, we want them to come back again and again. “Organisers are encouraging par-

ticipants this week to also use the opportunity to explore beyond the Grampians and travel to Horsham district attractions.” Mr Sleeman said Bicycle Network had made a commitment to present the Little Vic Bike Ride after COVID-19 uncertainty forced it to abandon plans for a Great Victoria Bike Ride that stretched from the southern Mallee to the Grampians. “They are continuing to support us as a destination, which is great,” he said. “The hope is that Bicycle Network will return with the fully fledged Vic

Frustrating wait for CFA leaders From page 1 Grampians CFA groups have in recent weeks raised concerns with Telstra regional general manager Steve Tinker as well as Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster. Mr Tinker and Dr Webster met with Grampians CFA leaders last week to discuss the mobile-coverage issues and fire-ready vulnerabilities of Grampians communities. Mr Dumesny said it was the group’s first meeting with Mr Tinker and Telstra had promised to investigate reasons for poor coverage in the region. Mr Dumesny said he was aware people were using the Optus network, which has a tower at Brimpaen, as well as Telstra and both were having

Bike Ride in the future. The regional rotation across the state for the event is usually about seven or eight years, but local tourism advocates will be pushing for a return here sooner rather than later.” The Little Vic Bike Ride is from tomorrow to Sunday. Cyclists will ride 72 kilometres from Halls Gap to Dunkeld on Friday, 110 kilometres from Dunkeld to Halls Gap via Pomonal on Saturday and 53 kilometres from Halls Gap to Great Western on Sunday.

similar issues. “We have raised the issue with Telstra and Anne Webster and now we will have to wait on direction in solving the broader problem,” he said. “From a bushfire-management and CFA point of view, as well as from a community and farming perspective, we will do what we can to raise the issue and try and get the situation solved.” Mr Dumesny said he appreciated Dr Webster’s ‘time and effort’ to meet with Grampians CFA leaders. He said Northern Grampians communities still carried scars from bushfires that burnt through 52,000 hectares of bush and farming land in 2014.

“As a community we are trying everything possible to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Everything we can possibly do, to save life and property, is in play,” he said. Mr Dumesny said he always kept his fire-alerting radio pager on ‘just in case’. But he said there were not enough pagers available for all CFA members. “Even a pager for every CFA member would not alleviate the fire-management shortfalls a lack of mobile service causes,” he said. “You can’t expect every member to always carry a pager with them. And the pager will only alert them to a fire, not enable any fire management.” Mr Dumesny said he hoped circum-

stances improved before the start of next fire season but emphasised that coverage issues limited all aspects of northern Grampians life. “Even speaking from a farmer’s point of view, it impedes management of a business – or management of a local football club,” he said. “Whether it be life or property under bushfire threat because of a lack of connectivity, whether it is a domesticviolence call, or a home emergency or a farming accident – lives could be at risk. “And as a CFA captain, we are all volunteers, we don’t want to see anyone get hurt or have emergency services delayed, and we don’t want to put ourselves in danger either.”

Horsham East Rotary Club members are optimistic about their 44th Wimmera Art Fair at Horsham Town Hall from April 5 to 10. Art fair co-ordinator Peter Robertson said the club was feeling confident the art fair would be a success. He said the event had attracted significant support from the Wimmera community, adding it had been running since the 1970s. Mr Robertson said Horsham gallery director Jane Scott would judge entries. “We are privileged to have Jane to judge the show on April 5,” he said. Ms Scott has more than 30 years of experience in arts and cultural relations and has worked in regional and city museums and art galleries. She will choose the prize winners for best work and best bay categories. There will also be people’s choice and runner-up people’s choice awards. Mr Robertson said 20 exhibitors from regional and rural areas as well as the Wimmera would show their work. He said Horsham Town Hall would be at its usual capacity of attendance, with 718 people having visited last year. “This year the art show has added a photography category and the Maker’s Market exhibit has returned to expand the array of artwork,” he said. Mr Robertson noted club and community played an important role in making the art fair a success. “Our success relies on the continued support of the arts community, our generous sponsors and the public,” he said. Mr Robertson said artwork on display would be for sale. Patrons can attend from noon to 3pm and entry is $5 and free for children. “This will support the artists, the community and contribute further to the success of the art show,” he said.

Stawell’s gold lures more exploration

new exploration arm of Stawell Gold Mines has started a fresh search for gold in an area stretching from Stawell to Maroona. South Stawell Gold has launched its maiden probe for gold in ‘Exploration Licence 7116’. Stawell Gold Mines has established South Stawell Gold, SSG, to search for new gold mineralisation in the southern areas of the ‘Stawell Zone’ – a geological feature running from the NSW border to Victoria’s south-west.

Stawell South Gold exploration manager Bill Reid said there were plans to investigate a dozen targets of significant interest in the exploration area. “Following the completion of desktop studies, we’ll conduct soil sampling to make sure we’re in the right areas,” he said. “Successful results from soil sampling might lead to air-core drilling work on some properties to the south and east of the current Stawell Gold Mines’ operation.” Exploration Licence 7116 covers

an expansive area including Black Range State Reserve, Great Western and from Maroona to north of Concongella. Mr Reid said the company was also interested in carrying out exploration activities on properties in Rhymney district in coming weeks. He said Stawell South Gold geologists had, with municipal permission, started collecting soil samples from roadsides in initial target areas. “We take a small amount of soil from the ground in areas that might include gold mineralisation,” he said.

“The samples are then analysed back on site using an x-ray machine to tell us what elements are in the ground.” Mr Reid said Stawell South Gold’s community engagement team was reaching out to property owners in target areas to discuss land access. “As part of this process, they work with landholders to agree on a schedule of work that allows geologists to carry out activities on the property with minimal disruption,” he said. Mr Reid said people could follow SSG’s exploration progress on Facebook at @southstawellgold.

He said other exploration licences SSG would explore included EL7610, EL7547, EL7549 and EL7479. Maps are on the Earth Resources website, earthresources.vic.gov.au under ‘Licences Near Me’. The South Stawell Gold announcement comes in the wake of the State Government announcing a search-area expansion of Victoria’s Stavely Arc geological zone. Stavely Arc runs north-south from Mildura to Terang.

Anthology shares Plazzer story Harley state rally A former Horsham resident and her tales of Wimmera life feature in a new Australian literary compilation assembling snapshots of life in modern rural Australia. Audio producer, musician and writer Maryanne Plazzer will detail her deep Wimmera roots in the new Black Inc anthology ‘Growing Up In Country Australia’. The new book, a collection of memoirs by established and emerging Australian literary talent, attempts to put in words the unique character of life in the country. Miss Plazzer said her work for the collection, ‘Rain Rain, Go Away’, zeroed in on time spent running Jeparit’s Hindmarsh Hotel during the Millennium Drought. “The story embraced challenges of unregulated water, almost losing my first born, and my life as a young publican in the middle of the farming community in Jeparit through the great drought,” she said. “Water is our health currency and most people don’t think twice before taking a sip or a dip, but they should.” Miss Plazzer said her contribution to the collection emphasised an importance of storytelling in everyday life. “What inspires you to get out of bed each day? If you aren’t doing that, or don’t know what that is – start by sharing your story,” she said. She said it was crucial for people of all ages to share stories of belonging and en-

Her immediate family cemented itself in the Horsham community during the postSecond World War influx of Mediterranean migrants to Victoria in the 1950s. Miss Plazzer’s extended family had previously made the journey from northern Italy in the 1920s, migrating after the First World War.

Her father, Mario Plazzer, remains a familiar figure in Horsham’s agricultural community, his business Wimmera Mallee Ag has operated since 1988 supplying farming machinery and equipment to the region. Miss Plazzer said ‘showing’ up in community and participating was an important part of everyone’s relationship to country and belonging. “No matter where you are from, sharing your personal stories is a perfect way to connect and understand each other and embrace differences in a productive way,” he said. “It’s everyone’s responsibility to be inclusive.” Miss Plazzer joins other prominent Australian writers and journalists who shared stories for the new anthology including Annabel Crabb, Benjamin

Harley Davidson motorbike enthusiasts from across Australia will ride to Horsham on Friday as a part of a Victorian State Rally. Horsham’s Harley Owners Group director Bopp Greenberger said the three-day event was a social gathering for motorcycle lovers, adding it would create a significant economic injection to the Wimmera. Mr Greenberger said one of the weekend’s highlights would be a group ride on Sunday from 9am. “The Thunder Run will travel from Maydale Reserve along McPherson Street, into Wilson Street and out Natimuk Road, returning to Horsham via Three Bridges Road and Golf Course Road,” he said. “This will be a great opportunity for the public to view the various Harley Davidson makes and models.” Mr Greenberger said Horsham Apex Club and Horsham Agricultural Society had volunteered their services to support the event.

Humanity... and who are we?

e humans are curious animals.

Just imagine if some superior alien had gathered up a sample of life on earth to study under a microscope. When they came to investigating humanity, their observations would surely leave them fascinated and perplexed. They would see a creature that has used an elevated ability to rationalise to establish pride of place at the top of the planet’s food chain. They would also see this same creature having an inbuilt quirky intent on both self-survival and self-destruction. They might also see plenty of bizarre rationalisation about what captures this animal’s attention and therefore what it considers important. We perhaps saw and heard an example of this curiosity unfold in news headlines earlier this week.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

As bombs continued to fall in a European fight involving a nuclear-armed aggressor, affecting everything from global peace to market security; as governments pondered responses to potential devastation of climate change and so on, our attention turned to... trying to understand circumstances surrounding an on-stage incident at the Academy Awards. Yes, that ‘slap’ from Will Smith to fellow movie star Chris Rock, real or staged and based on a ‘disrespectful comment’, nestled in neatly among the most ‘important’

news from around the world. Let’s go back to the superior alien for a moment and try to comprehend what they would have thought if they happened to be trying to piece together human sensibilities when the Smith-Rock news broke. Would their reaction be confusion, contempt or hilarity in their assessment of a supposedly intelligent, rational creature? Would we be worth saving or discarding? Dear oh dear! To use a favourite good old expression, we all ‘need a good hard look at ourselves’. Sure we know Smith, Rock and all the stars of stage and screen influence our everyday lives. And yes, they are often role models. But who really cares about some ‘spat’ between a couple of entertainers? But then again... was it contrived or was it real? Groan! Some of us can’t help but feel rather shallow at times.

Gulline: We must be one H

BY NICK RIDLEY

orsham’s mayor has praised State Government plans to encourage municipal councils to develop closer relationships with Aboriginal groups when developing reconciliation plans.

Cr Robyn Gulline said the proposal validated the approach she had adopted with Horsham Rural City Council. She said she had worked extensively with Aboriginal groups. “The council has tackled issues Aboriginal people have faced in the community such as employment to make sure they live their best life,” she said. Local Government Minister Shaun Leane and Aboriginal Affairs Minister Gabrielle Williams last week released the 2021-2026 Victorian Aboriginal and Local Government Strategy. Cr Gulline said the council continually worked to create an environment where everyone in Horsham felt comfortable. She said there had previously been some barriers between Aboriginal groups and residents, but the council had taken appropriate action to deal with these situations. Cr Gulline said her aim for Horsham was to provide an environment where people celebrated everyone’s differences. “We are all equal – everyone’s concerns in the community should be considered equally,” she said. State Government leaders have

worked in collaboration for more than 20 months with traditional-owner groups and organisations to provide advice to councils when creating reconciliation action plans. Ms Williams said the government’s strategy created a stronger connection between traditional owners and municipal councils. “This strategy emphasises the need for partnerships between local government and Aboriginal Victorians based on listening, trust, truth-telling and understanding,” she said. “Policies and programs based on our First People’s knowledge and expertise is crucial to building better relationships across local government and the community. That’s what this strategy will do.” Mr Leane emphasised the need for a collaborative partnership approach across government and Aboriginal communities. He said it was an important step to ensure councils acknowledged the rights, culture and heritage, needs and aspirations of Aboriginal communities. “It is vital the local government sector recognises and engages with Aboriginal Victorians to best achieve self-determination,” he said. “This is an important step in ensuring councils acknowledge the rights, culture, heritage, needs and aspirations of their Aboriginal communities.”

Rift to relive 80’s rock

ift formed in 1975 as a three-piece Horsham band that would take to the road and eventually conclude as a very sought-after and skilled band. The original line up of Dave McMaster, Dean Boyd and Geoff Wood would play what ever shows were on offer to better their music skills. In October 1977, the band welcomed the arrival of guitarist-vocalist Peter Keyte. Four months later, Keyte recalls Rift getting its first big gig opening for Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs at Horsham Town Hall. “I remember walking on stage to do a sound check, all went well. Then Thorpey walks on stage, plugs his guitar into six Fender Twin Reverb guitar amps, turns the volume up to full and presided to blow the back wall out. I’d never heard anything like it,” he said. “A big pa system, lights, gear everywhere and lots of volume... this is us, this is what Rift wants to do.” The band now wanted to be in the Australian rock scene. Later that year, Rift sought permission from New Zealand band Dragon to record its Countdown hit ‘This Time’, which was added to a project vinyl album called the Hometown Album. McMaster said going into a recording session was big deal. “It was our first time and the experience was fantastic,” he said. Pub gigs were now starting to

get traction and throughout the next two years, Rift found itself getting exposure to the commercial rock scene. The journey began opening for Cold Chisel and then doing a stint with Ol’55. In 1981, Peter Watts became the new drummer. Original songs were written and an album recorded, however never released. It was later reported that one of those tracks, ‘Nothin Stays Forever’, had somehow found its way to a radio station and was given airplay, unbeknown to the band at the time. In 1982, Michael Finn joined the band to provided synthesizer, piano and sequencers and complete the ’80s sound. For the next six years, Rift primarily played and toured throughout Victoria and some NSW and South Australian venues, playing an array of mainly Australian classic rock songs and originals. Traveling the circuits alongside Australian Crawl, Paul Kelly,

Goanna, Swannee, The Ferrets and many more, the band experienced what some have claimed to be ‘the most exciting period of Australian rock music’. Finally, in December 1988, Rift called it a day. In 2009, Rift was invited to reform to play a one-off show in Horsham, then again in 2019 at 60 Years of Wimmera Rock. “We met some incredible people along the way, some who were idols, some would become mentors, and to this day, some remain good friends and colleagues, ” Keyte said. “We still have the passion and are excited to get back together for this one only show in Horsham. “This will be a reunion on two fronts, one for the band, but just as important, a thank you and invite to all those who felt the ’80’s marked an exciting time in their lives.” • RIFT is back, LIVE at The Exchange Hotel Horsham on Saturday, April 2.

Association on transmission project W

immera Development Association has outlined its position involving electrical transmission infrastructure planned between the Wimmera and Melbourne in a letter to Premier Daniel Andrews.

The association has stressed a need and support for the project, which is generating community anxiety in the Central Highlands, but is also calling for compromise. In the letter, association executive director Chris Sounness has stressed his organisation’s desire to avoid regional division over the issue. He has also asked Western Victoria Transmission Network Project planners to consider scoping options to place lines underground. Plans on the table include installing electrical lines, towers and other infrastructure needed to tap into western Victorian renewable energy between Bulgana near Great Western to Melbourne. Here is a condensed version of Mr Sounness’ letter to the premier – Premier Andrews, – RE: Support

for the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project. Wimmera Development Association is the region’s peak sustainable development body, covering the municipalities of Horsham Rural City, West Wimmera, Hindmarsh, Northern Grampians and Yarriambiack shires. The association’s role is to work with the community and government/s to attract new investment, further develop existing business and promote the Wimmera’s sustainable-development opportunities, both within and outside the region. WDA is a vital link between industry and government and has a proven track record in attracting new development and opportunities to the region. Wimmera Development Association is keen to highlight how important the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project, WVTNP, is to our region. This is a transformational project for our region. When complete, the WVTNP will unlock $5-billion worth of planned

and proposed investment, plus there is likely to be another $8-billion of investment in renewables, making it a project generating $13-billion of investment for the state of Victoria. The project will also unlock food-manufacturing potential in the region, enabling at least a doubling of industry investment. The WVTNP is also a vital project for the Grampians’ region goal to reach net-zero emissions before 2043 and the Victorian Government target to reduce emissions by 28 to 33 percent by 2025 and 45 to 50 percent by 2030, with a target of net-zero emissions by 2050. As part of its plan to achieve net-zero, the Victorian government identified Western Victoria as one of six key Renewable Energy Zones, REZs, in the state, with the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project identified as a stage one project to enable new projects to be connected to the energy grid. As stated by the Victorian government, the development of Victoria’s REZs will unlock more than 200

megawatts of new clean energy, while also creating jobs in regional Victoria, boosting energy reliability and affordability, and strengthening our network for the future. The Wimmera and southern Mallee are already seeing the benefits of being a REZ with Renewable-energy generators developing key projects in the region that will input energy to the grid and support economic and job growth in our region. Without transmission infrastructure however, the REZs will not develop as intended. The challenge is that to provide a link between the REZ in western Victoria and consumers across Victoria, the project needs to be routed through prime agricultural land and recognised tourism precincts in the Central Highlands region. Farmers and locals are expressing huge reservations about the project and its impact. While WDA and the Wimmera-Mallee community are never keen to be seen as divisive, for the Grampians region and regional Victoria in gen-

FIVE-DAY forecast

eral, we need this transformational infrastructure project to go ahead and communities and regions not to be divided. The number-one concern in the Central Highlands seems not to be the project itself, but that the transmission line is planned to be built overhead. The opportunity might be to fully scope the transmission line going underground; the costs involved, risks and advantages of such an approach. It might slow down the Environmental Effects Statement process for the project, but it allows the project to continue being scoped, which is essential for investment in our region. This approach would address the Central Highlands community’s primary concerns around the overhead transmission lines and might help to reduce the division between neighbouring regions and communities for the benefit of all while this investigation is undertaken.

‘Anything to build the workforce’ A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Wimmera development leader has praised Federation University plans to develop an Asia Pacific Renewable Energy Training Centre in Ballarat.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said Federation University leaders’ plan to boost the job market in the renewable sector for regional and rural towns could support areas such as the Wimmera. Mr Sounness said having more individuals with specialised skills would

increase population growth in regional and rural communities. “Anything to build up the workforce is great. The more specialised skills and capabilities that are brought to these towns is a real boost,” he said. Mr Sounness said apart from having increased population growth, attracting people from the outer-metropolitan areas and overseas would have a significant impact on the image of rural and regional towns. He used Nhill’s Karen community, which had generated new businesses in the town, as an example of the ad-

would significantly increase the number of people entering the renewable-energy sector and allow for more people to stay in their hometowns. He said Australians should prepare for a change of coal to renewable energy. “Australia is in a unique position to take advantage of the world’s best sun and wind resources and grasp the opportunities of a clean energy export market,” he said. Mr Goodfellow said a Clean Energy Council survey showed there was a ‘large’ gap in the number of skilled

vantages of attracting people through jobs growth. The Wimmera, southern Mallee and Western District, with ready access to ideal levels of wind, solar and bioenergy to generate power, loom as the ‘engine room’ to drive Victoria’s transformation from coal to renewable energy. Independent, not-for-profit energytransformation advocate Re-Alliance also welcomed plans for the energy training centre. RE-Alliance Victoria co-ordinator Tony Goodfellow said the centre

Team hits its stride East Grampians Health Service’s ‘Cranks and Defibrillators’ team is ready to tackle the Murray to Moyne Cycle Relay this weekend. This year, due to a much smaller team, the group will be cycling in a ‘Sunday Striders’ event, a 90kilometre ride from Hamilton to Port Fairy through the picturesque and challenging hills of Macarthur, rather than the full ride. Health service community liaison officer Jodie Holwell said the benefit of this section was that the whole team of riders rode as one, rather than in relay style. “With a smaller team we felt this was the best option this year,” she said. “Our riders have been training for months and are looking forward to the ride from Hamilton to Port Fairy and riding into the town together. “There is always a huge crowd lining the streets to welcome the riders and with more than 30 teams from health services across Victoria, it will be a great sight.” The EGHS team features 10 riders, three bus drivers and a support crew of two.

workers in regional and rural communities. “We applaud Federation University’s leadership team for spearheading this important initiative. It is one of a kind in the Southern Hemisphere, so we hope other regions take note of the wide range of benefits that a training centre like this can bring,” he said. Federation University’s APRETC will join other initiatives such as the $11-million ‘Growing our Clean Energy Workforce’ for apprenticeship pathways into the workforce supporting women entering the industry.

LET’S RIDE: Some of the members of this year’s EGHS Murray to Moyne Cranks and Defibrillators cycling team, from left, Graham Bull, Rob Keith, Ken McCready, Jess Baird, Charlie Reid, Wayne Klauss, Alan Young, Erin Hinchliffe, Laura White and Lisa Haddow. This year the team hopes to raise $10,000 towards a specialised bed for the new palliative care area at East Grampians Health Service. The palliative care area is moving to an inpatient unit, due to the redevelopment of the medical imaging department, part of the overall $8.6-million redevelopment of theatre, pathology and medical imaging

departments. The team has organised other smaller fundraisers this year, including an Ararat market and popular raffle, with tickets available from Fosters Mensland and Deb’s Diner in Ararat. It is also collecting individual sponsorship from family and friends. “Our team has been selling raffle tickets next to the Saturday morning

Lions Club barbecue, and we thank them for sharing their space with us,” Ms Holwell said. “Hannah Cunningham and her team from Fred and Bet’s Café in Ararat are also generously donating $10 from every box of cupcakes sold over the past two weeks and there is still time to pop in and grab some today.”

Pyrenees House in Ararat has undergone many transformations in its almost 140-year history and has always been a place of care. Pyrenees House opened as Ararat and District Hospital in 1886 during the Victorian gold boom. More than 100 years later, in 2021, it became East Grampians Health Service Community COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic. In the years between operating as a hospital and a vaccination clinic, the iconic building, renamed Pyrenees House in 1937, has also been a home for aged-care and education services. The building has been the subject of refurbishment during the past 100 years, the most recent upgrade a new paint job in 2015 to prepare the building as an education centre. The health-care group took on responsibility for the provision of COVID-19 community vaccinations in the district and the health service selected Pyrenees House for use as the vaccination clinic. Health service chief executive Nick Bush said with vaccination increasing and an expectation community immunisation would become a long-term EGHS responsibility, the organisation would establish a new clinic site. “Pyrenees House will then return to its previous use as an education centre and space for the community,” he said.

Club turns 50

Wimmera Bushwalking Club will continue to celebrate its 50th birthday with a public information and promotional meeting at Horsham RSL next month. The club has already marked the occasion with a walk and barbecue at Flat Rock in the northern Grampians. The event was a re-enactment of the club’s first walk in 1972. Barry Clugston, who called the 1972 meeting at Horsham RSL to gauge interest in forming the club, was guest speaker at the re-enactment walk. Mr Clugston shared his memories of the club’s formation and some of his and his club’s early walking adventures. He said the Wimmera had easier access to a wider range of walking environments than Melbourne-based clubs. Wimmera Bushwalking Club president Steve Knoll said the club had boasted many members, some remaining active for many years and others moving on for work or other commitments. “It is a huge achievement to have a club run for 50 years. Over the years the club has conducted day, overnight and longer walks in most states of Australia and has always been run by members for members,” he said. The public information meeting at 7.30pm on April 5 will feature guests Phil and Monica Coleman, who will introduce their new book ‘Grampians Walks’. On April 10, the club will have a public introductory walk and in spring a celebratory dinner.

Stick shed support Historic Murtoa Stick Shed will have a $67,100 Federal Government boost to replace 15 damaged poles. The heritage-listed former grain store, built in 1942, is among sites across the nation to benefit from the fourth round of Australian Heritage Funding grants. Member for Mallee Anne Webster said the latest funding represented the third round for the stick shed since her time in government. “Murtoa Stick Shed is an iconic feature of Murtoa and has been an integral part of the town since it was built in 1942 and is a rich part of the region’s heritage,” she said. Environment Minister Sussan Ley added the funding round had a particular focus on supporting communities in recovering from the pandemic. “This year’s funding round centres on preserving and promoting the nation’s rich heritage, boosting tourism and delivering economic stimulus for COVID-impacted economies,” she said.

Wildlife carers grant Wildlife carers in Rainbow will have a $3000 State Government grant to support their work. The State Government has provided the money through its Wildlife Rehabilitator Grants program.

Drawing people to the vines BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Laharum winery hopes to capitalise on the beautiful surrounds of the Grampians northern fringe this autumn, drawing people out of bottle-shops and into the vineyards.

Mount Staplyton Wines owners, the Staehr family, have integrated a new tasting area into the property’s historical 1920s stables, rebuilt in the 1960s, encapsulating the winery’s multifaceted farming capabilities. It hopes the construction of the tasting area will give visitors the chance to sample a piece of the property’s various features. The boutique winery owners, originally grain and sheep farmers, continue to ply the original farming trades on the property. The Weekly Advertiser spoke to Mary and her son Robert Staehr ahead of the tasting area’s official Mother’s Day opening. Mrs Staehr said there was a lot of history attached to the property. “The previous owners kept their trotting stud in the stable,” she said. “We wanted to make the property’s history part of the experience. “Wine tasters can sip on their shiraz or granache and see the lambs, they can see the grain header going or the grain feeder operating. “This place has a big story to tell and we have only just started exploring that with our customers.” Mount Stapylton Wines has always been a family affair. Mary and Robert purchased the next-door vineyard property from family member Howard Staehr in

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER 2018 to add to their grain and sheep farm. Robert Staehr said he helped plant the original vineyard in 2002. Mr Staehr, originally a grain and sheep farmer, added viticulture studies to his portfolio and has incorporated the property’s diverse features into an agribusiness-tourism venture. “Everyone says viticulture is nothing like grain farming, but there are a lot of similarities,” he said. “It is all about vine health, having good vine balance, which is like looking after the grain crop. “You can pump up the grain or

stress it out – both are about managing the crops balance.” Mr Staehr said the winery was the most northernmost vineyard in the Grampians fringe and that allowed for a distinctive grape quality. “We get a lot more heat and a lot less disease pressure,” he said. “Although, we still get cold and cool nights where the vines are able to relax and refresh after the heat. “All this promotes the intensity of the fruit.” Mr Staehr said he was excited about this year’s vintage. “Last year was a big crop for us and this year will be a little bit smaller,

which isn’t bad,” he said. “It is tasting good in the barrel. We had big berries with a lot of hang time. “The grapes had a cool finish though when the rain freshened up the vines, so the fruit came home strong.” Mount Staplyton Wines will launch its new tasting area on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8, with a four-course ‘paddock to plate’ lunch, live music and wine tasting. “It is time to get our wine in people’s mouths,” Mr Staehr said, People wanting more information can visit website, mountstapylton wines.com.au.

Gift partners with Invictus Stawell Gift promotors have confirmed the iconic Wimmera event will support Invictus Australia as its official charity partner. Invictus Australia provides sport and recovery programs and services to improve the health and wellbeing of military veterans and their families. The not-for-profit organisation is the legacy of the Invictus Games Sydney 2018. Stawell Gift event management chair Stephanie Price said the organisation was thrilled to announce Invictus as its charity. “Invictus Australia inspires veterans to continue to engage in sport and we like to think the Powercor Stawell Gift has inspired generations of Aussies to participate in athletics,” she said. “Together, we can showcase the great work of both organisations.” Invictus, through collaboration with sport, community and veteran organisations, works to provide opportunities for veterans and their families to engage in sport, from grass-roots participation to international competition, such as the Invictus Games The Hague from April 16 to 22 this year. Invictus Australia chief executive Michael Hartung was also delighted with a partnership considering it involved one of Australia’s most iconic sporting events. “Athletics is a foundation sport of the Invictus movement and attracts many veterans and their families to be part of these engaging communities,” he said. This year’s Stawell Gift carnival at Stawell’s Central Park is from April 16 to 18. Tickets are now on sale via Ticketek at website, premier.ticketek.com.au.

Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline has welcomed seven new Australian citizens as part of celebrations corresponding with Harmony Week. Cr Gulline congratulated the group, which included people who had migrated from Thailand, the Philippines and United Kingdom, at a ceremony in Horsham Civic Centre. Cr Gulline said Harmony Week was a time for people to come together to celebrate a vibrant multicultural society. “This region has a successful history of welcoming and integrating people from all over the world,” she said. Last week’s ceremony featured the colour orange, which represents Harmony Week and signifies social communication and meaningful conversations. It also relates to the freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect. “We are part of a diverse multicultural nation and it is our Australian citizenship, whether by birth or choice, and our Australian values, that forms the common bond that unites us,” Cr Gulline said. “We have different backgrounds, different experiences and different cultures. Yet we are one nation and we are all Australians,” she said. The new Australian citizens are Klo Lwe Moo Doh Soe, Daniel Laing, Cecile Vence, Kim Vence, Shaun Vence, Vilarbie Vence and Stacy Vence.

Mr Laing, a climbing guide in Horsham and originally from Scotland, said he had originally arrived in Australia as a tourist about 10 years ago, met his partner and had since lived in the country ‘on and off’. “I’m really happy to be a citizen. I was in Brisbane for the past couple of years and came here about a month a ago,” he said. Cecile Vence came directly from the Philippines to Horsham with her family almost six years ago and said becoming an ‘Aussie’ was ‘such an overwhelming feeling’. “I’m grateful and thankful with all of Australia,” she said. “The community is just amazing. They are just so supportive. I’m lost for words, it’s just so overwhelming. This is the day we’ve been looking forward to. “When you’re citizens you get to have this feeling of security and my son can avail of the health program – he’s in university – which is one of the best things. We can now also have an Australian passport and we have the opportunity to vote and that is very important. “Although I am an Australian citizen, I will never forget the values I have learned that I carry on from my country and I’m still proud to be called a Filipino Australian. “My whole family has been together in this journey.”

Harmony Week a time to celebrate W

BY NICK RIDLEY

immera community and development leaders, schools and early-education children celebrated cultural diversity throughout the region with a wide array of Harmony Week activities.

National Harmony Week, which wrapped up on Sunday, recognises diversity and inclusion. Since 1999 there have been more than 80,000 Harmony Week events in childcare centres, schools, community groups, churches, businesses and federal, state and local government agencies across Australia. Wimmera Development Association celebrated Harmony Week with an event at Horsham Neighbourhood House. Association leaders hosted a gathering that included authentic Ethiopian coffee, Hijab demonstrations and a Nepalese fashion show. Settlement services manager Sara Barron said celebrating Harmony Week was an association tradition. “This is such an important week to celebrate the diversity of our communities in the Wimmera and ‘connect through culture’,” she said. Horsham Jellybeans Playgroup co-ordinator Anubha Jalla Das said its event, in partnership with Horsham Neighbourhood House, was full of ‘great people, delicious food, incredible coffee, performance and play’. “To bring these communities together to celebrate is an honour and a joy for me,” she said. Jellybeans specialises in providing services for newly arrived migrant families. Horsham College students were also among people across the region celebrating Harmony Week.

Horsham College chaplain Yolande Grosser said she was ‘blown away’ by the amount of people who took part in a multi-cultural celebration of the occasion at the school. Mrs Grosser said there was a wide variety of food on show that included 200 servings of the Asian dish nasi goreng. “I am just thrilled. Everyone was so happy, it has been great to have people here from so many different countries,” she said. Mrs Grosser thanked Horsham College Vocational Education and Training students for cooking the nasi goreng for the celebrations. School captain Bart Turgoose said Harmony Week was a way to celebrate the successful integration of migrants into the community. “Our celebrations today are about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of their cultural and linguistic backgrounds,” he said. Hindmarsh Shire Council leaders supported schools in their shire through a range of projects and activities encouraging students to think about what it meant to live in a multi-cultural society and explore ideas around cultural diversity and inclusion. Mayor Melanie Albrecht said with more than 30 percent of Hindmarsh residents born overseas, it was a wonderful opportunity to learn about cultural connections throughout the district. Grampians Health acknowledged the week across its Edenhope, Stawell, Ballarat and Wimmera campuses. Grampians Health interim chief people officer Claire Woods said the organisation celebrated ‘bringing together people of all cultures and making a difference to the people we deliver care to’.

What can Chiropractic do for a sprained ankle? Sprained ankles are a common sports injury and I think I practically majored in them! So here’s a few tips to help from the resident chiropractor! 1. Rest.Ice.Compression. Elevation. Wait 48hrs and reassess. 2. If there is any bruising there is most probably a ligament tear or worse a chipped bone. That may require X-ray. 3. See a chiropractor. “So how can a chiropractor help?” The chiropractor can assess the joint and let a person know how badly damaged it is. A chiropractor will also assess the rest of the spine. We can offer rehabilitation exercises and assist in recovery. Why does Chiropractic help? In 20+yrs experience, an ankle sprain doesn’t just affect the ankle. As the song goes “The ankle bone’s connected to the knee bone, the knee bone’s connected to the hip bone” etc. Rebalancing the whole body gives a much better result. It gets the brain to talk better to the body. Where here to help, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. You can also book online at bowerschiropractic.com.au

Inside the cast: The Laramie Project

embers of Horsham theatre company Smart Artz are deep in rehearsals ahead of the company’s stage-production of The Laramie Project, on April 8 and 9 at Horsham Town Hall.

The Laramie Project is a famous verbatim stage reproduction of a small American town’s reaction to the hate crime and murder of gay university student Matthew Shephard in 1998. The original schedule of the Horsham production was postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions. The show’s reinvigoration will accompany an easement of restrictions and a re-emergence of theatre in the Wimmera. ACE radio station 1089 and The Weekly Advertiser’s Adam Roche, who is a cast member, caught up with some of the show’s crew to get their thoughts on the heavy-hitting produc-

tion, ahead of a bumper opening night next week. Cast member Larissa Riddell said the Victorian arts industry was disappointed when the COVID-19 ‘onslaught’ turned prospective theatre projects upside down. “It was disappointing, but we always knew we were going to do this show. Nothing should hold us back now – touch wood,” she said. She said the company’s goal was to offer audiences in the Wimmera a diverse range of different productions. “The Laramie Project was always our director Amy Anselmi’s passion and oddly I didn’t know a huge amount about it,” she said. “But after researching it and hearing so much about why a production like this was important, it was a no brainer. Horsham needs to see it.”

Many production cast members described a similarity between Horsham and the Wisconsin town of Laramie, the town at the centre of the show, as a reason why discussion of the production’s themes was important for a Horsham audience.

Legacy

Cast member Simon Risson said several conversations in the show were similar to ones he has had throughout 20 years of Horsham living. “You can hear those conversations, if not from people in Horsham specifically, but I can identify – actually, this is a piece of our town, these are our characters to some extent. That is why I wanted to do this production, because the contribution I make here decides what kind of legacy I want to leave,” he said. Cast member Jillian Pearce similarly

said the production was universally relevant. “Not just in terms of attitudes to identity and sexuality, but attitudes to disability or race. It relates to so much of the human experience in terms of bias and discrimination,” she said. Ms Riddell said the show was so much more than ‘the gay play’, as she had heard it referenced. “The show offers an all-encompassing view of this horrific event. You will see a lot of viewpoints reproduced in the show. Your view will be there and so will some that are completely different – the point is that all views and ideas are presented without bias, and without demonising one point of view from another,” she said. New cast member Alayna Toporzisek said her favourite character was Tiffany Edwards, a Laramie reporter.

“I love her, she is always ready to go, ready to show her stuff on camera. The show can be heavy, but not always so, there is a lot of laughter as well,” she said. “I am from a small town as well and these issues are not topics I would have talked about. I feel like this is a story that needs to heard, and unfortunately, it is an issue that is out there in our world and needs to be talked about to generate change.” Tickets to The Laramie Project are available at Horsham Town Hall box office, online at www.horshamtownhall.com.au, or by calling 5382 9555. A Friday morning preview of the show is also available at a reduced cost. • This is part one of a two-part introduction to Smart Artz cast members set to bring The Laramie Project to life.

Marian leaders ready to give back Whimsical Tricycle Ivana Donnan and Gabriel Tonks and are Marian College school captains this year. Gabriel said he has spent many years at the Ararat school. “My late mother Tess worked at the school for more than 20 years, so I’ve basically grown up here,” he said “It’s good to finally give something back to the school, after having been given so much throughout the years. “The school is very welcoming and tries to teach others to give back to the community.” Ivana said she hoped to create unity in the school after the COVID-19 pandemic. “Everything has been so separated in the past two years. So, I think it would be good to focus on having compassion for teachers and SETTING AN EXAMPLE: Marian College 2022 captains Ivana Donnan and Gabriel Tonks.

Open hearts to care F

BY SIMONE DALTON

ormer Horsham mayor Pam Clarke knows ‘family’ is what you make it. “We are very family-oriented and believe family is family – blood relative or not,” the Horsham mother and grandmother said. When she was a child, Mrs Clarke’s mother and father would often take people into their home if they needed food or shelter. And in the past few years Pam and her husband Michael have welcomed three young people to their family for extended periods. “One young man came to stay for a weekend and left two and a half years later and another young woman asked to stay for two months and stayed five and a half years,” Mrs Clarke said. “A short time after her arrival, we welcomed her boyfriend, who later became her husband, into our family.” More recently the Clarkes have been primary carers for a teenage friend of a family member who needed a safe place to stay. “It is something you do when you see someone needs help,” Mrs Clarke said. “I honestly believe it takes a community to raise a child – even our kids have got two mums, many honorary siblings and we are blessed with three honorary grandchildren. Family is not something we are born to; it is what you make it.” With the region preparing to celebrate National Families Week, Mrs Clarke has urged people to consider becoming carers for children and young people in need. “I know it might sound a bit cliché,

Pam Clarke but in all honestly, it is one of the most rewarding things you could ever do,” she said. Mrs Clarke is one of several champions for regional foster care recruitment campaign ‘Share Your Care’. On any given night up to 400 children and young people in the Wimmera South-West region will not be staying with their parents. Foster care provides a secure, supportive, nurturing and happy environment for children when they need it the most. “I encourage people to give caring a shot, it is really worthwhile,” Mrs Clarke said. “To welcome people into your home takes having an open heart, unconditional love, acceptance, patience and

importantly, not putting your expectations on them.” Mrs Clarke said she drew much of her inspiration from the words of her own mother. “She used to say, ‘you only have a lend of your kids, you do your best to teach them the values they need and then, let them go’,” she said. Mrs Clarke said it was a matter of everyone making the most of this precious loan time. “As a parent or grandparent, the greatest reward is watching children grow and gain confidence. Seeing that development into beautiful independent individuals is amazing to watch,” she said. Wimmera community leaders took to the streets across the region as part of recruitment campaign. Councillors, farmers, professionals and community members from across the region are combining to promote the need for more carers. For the past two weeks foster-care champions have visited centres including Horsham, Warracknabeal, Stawell, Dimboola and Nhill. Mrs Clarke urged people thinking about foster care to do something about it now and find out more. She said information was available onine at shareyourcare.net.au or Share yourcarewsw Facebook and Instagram pages. Other Wimmera champions supporting this campaign include Debra Nelson, Hindmarsh; Kevin Erwin, Northern Grampians; Kylie Zanker, Yarriambiack and Jo Clarke and Aunty Pam Branson from the Aboriginal community.

REMINSICING: From left, Leanne Rhodes, Pam Logan and principal Kristie Miller, all members of a Concongella 150th Committee, check entries in old school registers and an Honour Roll book.

Concongella milestone Concongella Primary School will tick over 150 years of operation this week, but will wait until October 15 and 16 to celebrate the milestone. The official 150th birthday of the school is on April 1, however a committee organising the recognition activities decided to celebrate later in the year due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. The celebration weekend will feature activities on the Saturday including a float procession, vintage-machinery display, period sports and games, and a film night. A display of historic records and memorabilia will be on show during the weekend. Sunday activities will include an ecumenical church service and a trail drive including historical points of interest in Concongella.

Concongella State School No. 1136 opened its door for the first time on April 1, 1872 to 32 day students as well as night classes, under the leadership of founding head teacher Henry Hayden. Since then, 1252 students have attended the school under 47 different head teachers, later known as principals. The school today has 44 students and is renowned for its unique rural setting, just outside of Stawell. Organisers have urged people seeking more information and event updates to visit a Facebook page for the event. Alternatively, anyone interested in the event can call organising committee members Dana Woltjen on 0429 388 215 or Ian Davies on 0418 140 446 for more information.

Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth said a large throng of people in Natimuk also guaranteed a ‘bonanza’ in show gate-takings. “Our show-day master of ceremonies Matt Bubner said it was ‘perfection’ – perfect weather, perfect organisation, perfect event,” she said. “Congratulations to the show committee, sponsors, volunteers, traders, vendors and everyone else who helped make the 130th Natimuk Show memorable. “Highlights were radiant smiles on faces, strong support from the Victoria Showmen with entertaining attractions for all ages, trade site and market sites filling the grounds, along with a variety of individual free children’s activities.”

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Mrs Bysouth said festivities started with a street parade led by Horsham Rural City Band, followed by Horsham Pony Club representatives and then the original first wagon to arrive in Natimuk. “Locals followed the wagon on foot, followed by decorated bikes, a cascade of cars, a fire truck and farm machinery. Natimuk Brass Band accompanied the parade from the Natimuk rotunda,” she said. “There were so many show highlights, right down to a tomato sauce-making challenge, with Paul Morrison winning, closely followed by Team Marchesini Sisters. “A virtual-reality attraction ‘The Grain Arcade’ made its show debut and was extremely popular and the arena was filled with horses, a colourful display of cars, bikes and utes and a continuous silent pictorial present of past showday activities on the Optus Bus screen. “A vigorous shearing competition again kept

alive crowds entertained. There was a high-quality historical display in a hay, grain and fleece pavilion as well as a new rock-climbing wall. “Natimuk Primary School helped with Acknowledgment to Country as part of the official opening and Victorian Agricultural Shows executive officer Rod Bowls awarded the society with a 130th show acknowledgment. “He also presented society president Robert Rogers with a meritorious award for more 60 years of service.” Mrs Bysouth said the show ended with an evening meal, Natimuk crop competition presentations and a final showing of the historical pictorial presentation. Activities continued on Sunday as part of the 150th back-to celebrations. Mrs Bysouth said planning was already underway for next year’s show activities, but an Easter Sunday Farmers Market on April 17 was next event on the agenda.

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS: Horsham Rural City Band kicked off celebrations at Natimuk on Saturday, leading the street parade.

Young poultry judge in spotlight 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

young Wimmera poultry enthusiast will represent Victoria in a prestigious livestock judging competition next month. The competition pits aspiring judges against each other to showcase the country’s brightest young talents of poultry proficiency. Veterinary student Michael Lloyd, 21, will head to the Sydney Royal Easter Show as a 2022 national finalist in a Agricultural Shows Australia: National Young Judges and Paraders Competition. The best poultry specialist judges aged 15 to 25 will compare their verdicts against a professional poultry judge in three different poultry categories; hard feather, soft feather and waterfowl. This can include a variety of breeds of chickens, geese, ducks and turkeys. Mr Lloyd, from Quantong, said he had been involved with poultry competitions from age nine and judging poultry breeds since he was 15. “I have been nominated to represent Victoria twice before and I came second in 2019 in Perth,” he said. “This year I am being sent to Sydney, which has been a pretty talkedabout competition. “The other state representatives I am competing against are pretty handy.” Mr Lloyd said his poultry enthu-

SYDNEY BOUND: Quantong’s Michael Lloyd will represent Victoria at a poultry young judges competition next month. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER siasm started when he was six. “We bought a chicken at auction and dad told me to put it in a Horsham agricultural show where I won a couple of ribbons,” he said. “Since then, Wimmera Poultry Club president Ted Brown set me up with a

few different breeds and things have snowballed.” Poultry-judging competitions ask competitors to assess four displayed birds of the same breed, and to number each animal one to four in order of exhibition quality.

Young judges’ answers are compared against that of a professional judge who assessed the same four birds. Competitors lose points for assessment differences. Mr Lloyd said he had to then select

one of the three poultry categories he judged and present to the professional judges the reasons for his bird rankings. Points are also given according to the judges’ speech and professional presentation. Mr Lloyd said every breed had its own characteristics. “We want a good condition though, not too heavy, not too light, full-feather qualities, brightness and alertness. We look for structural defects as well,” he said. “In Perth in 2019, competitors had to judge four birds that all had the same out-turned-feet fault. They threw in that curveball to see if anyone picked it up, because when they all have the same defect, it can be hard to separate them.” Mr Lloyd said it was a great honour to represent Victoria in Sydney in April. In his third year of a veterinary bachelor’s degree, he said he planned on working with larger animals in the future. “I will head down to Melbourne to finish my studies, then I want to move back to rural Victoria. It will give me room to always play with my chooks,” he said. Competition corresponds with the Sydney Royal Easter Show from April 8 to 19.

Growing careers of young farmers Young farmers across the state can now apply for 2022 Upskill and Invest Young Farmers Scholarships to help their careers grow and support their contribution to Victoria’s vibrant agriculture sector. Agriculture Victoria acting executive director of agriculture policy Dr Julie Simons encouraged young farmers to apply for the scholarships, that would allow them to take the next steps in their agricultural careers. “In an industry that is undergoing constant evolution, fostering our young talent and giving them tools to thrive and succeed is vital,” she said. Under the program, which has awarded 89 scholarships since 2015, eligible young farmers can boost their skills and careers with up to $10,000 each. In 2021, 13 young farmers were awarded scholarships covering the breadth of Victoria’s agriculture regions and industries including

beef, sheep, cropping, horticulture, dairy, viticulture and aquaculture. The scholarship program supported these farmers to upskill in topics such as agribusiness, livestock management and farm business management. Following on, scholarship recipients often invest in professional development or business planning, or in on-farm initiatives such as electronic ID tags, digital scales or consultant support. Applications for this year’s round of scholarships are open to farmers aged 35 or younger who have been working in farm businesses for at least three days a week for the past three months, with at least two years total experience on-farm. People can visit website, go.vic.gov.au/khjYo9 to find out more about the program and to apply. Applications close on April 18.

find it difficult to absorb the reality of the horror unfolding in Ukraine at present. In modern society we see so much content on our screens it’s sometimes hard to distinguish between fact and fiction. But we know this is fact. We know Putin is determined to destroy the freedom and sovereignty of Ukraine. Only weeks ago the Ukrainian people were living a peaceful life in a modern, vibrant community. They were much like us. They aspired to own their homes, educate their children and to travel and engage freely with the world. But because of geography, their world has been turned upside down. Ukrainians are very large producers and exporters of wheat and barley. They are a major competitor of Australian grain growers and we fight for market share. The war has caused disruption to shipping out of Black Sea ports causing global grain prices to lift sharply in the past few weeks. Like many farmers, we’ve been selling into this rally. We’d usually be celebrating such high prices, but there’s something about this market spike that makes me feel uncomfortable. It seems quite perverse that the price rises we’ve seen here in recent weeks are a direct result of the misery being heaped upon the Ukrainian people by the despicable actions of a despot Russian president. Agriculture is a global business and Australian farmers closely watch events in other countries

From left field with David Matthews

that will impact prices we receive. It’s not unusual for difficult circumstances for farmers in one country to provide opportunity for the farmers of another country. But most often that will be with weather conditions such as drought, flood or frosts. And we know our turn comes with these events. In some years our competitors benefit from our poor seasons. I don’t know anyone in Ukraine but somehow I feel a connection. A few weeks before the invasion I listened to a live Twitter broadcast on global grain markets. One of the main participants was an agri broker from Kyiv. She spoke a language of trade we all understood. I couldn’t help but feel there was a kinship even among competitors. At the time of the broadcast she briefly mentioned Putin’s threats of invasion. She wasn’t overly worried and felt it was all part of his negotiating tactics. In her tweet last week, she was raising money for helmets and body armour for a group of volunteers who were delivering medicine and food to people on the front line of the war. The price of wheat didn’t seem so important.

ADVOCATE: Horsham district’s Denise McLellan is taking part in a GrainGrowers national OnBoard program. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Farmer to gain insight F

BY DEAN LAWSON

irst-generation Wimmera farmer Denise McLellan is among eight growers from across Australia to win selection for a GrainGrowers OnBoard grower director program. Mrs McLellan, who with husband Shannon started farming in Horsham district 20 years ago, will join successful applicants from all Australian states in the program. The OnBoard program provides a unique opportunity for growers to take their onfarm expertise to the boardroom. GrainGrowers, a national farmer collective, launched the program in 2021 after recognising the depth of talented growers capable of making significant contributions to the sector, yet a lack of grower applicants for industry boards and committees. The program comprises expert facilitators providing ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ skills training and participants completing an Australian Institute of Company Directors course. Successful applicants will attend sessions in Sydney and Melbourne. Mrs McLellan said she believed in ‘giving back’ to the farming industry and the program offered her a chance to provide more representation. “I’m not a fan of just complaining and not doing anything about it. I like being in the bigger-picture industry and this will allow me to be involved in representation in the grains industry,” she said.

Mrs McLellan said what she gleaned from the program experience might open the door for various industry roles and opportunities. “It could be on a government board, an industry board, or a grower representative on a breeding company board,” she said. “Graingrowers are doing a really good job at representing growers at grassroots level and all the way through to an international level, advocating for growers on domestic, local and international matters.” As well as farming, Mrs McLellan does consulting work with farms, helping with staff and safety management and marketing communication for agricultural businesses. She described the experience of being first-generation farmers, without an opportunity to inherit their farm, as ‘bloody tough’. “I don’t know if I would recommend it. You definitely see the highs and lows and it hasn’t been an easy ride at all. But, we’re coming out the other side and it’s been really rewarding,” she said. “Shannon is from a farming background and we both did agricultural science at university. We always talked about going back to a family farm. We were working here and an opportunity came up to lease and Shannon thought why not have a go here and the rest is history. “I’m very passionate about farming and agriculture. It’s at the coalface. It’s food and fibre and I feel quite proud to be in-

volved in it and I’m glad that our kids are growing up in this environment. And I’m very passionate about promoting the next generation of people coming through in agriculture. “There are just so many opportunities. If you want to do ‘it’, you can do it in ag. “People need to eat and farmers keep rolling on 24-7.” GrainGrowers chair Brett Hosking congratulated Mrs McLennan and other OnBoad scholarship recipients. “We’re excited to have such a talented group of growers participate in 2022,” he said. “OnBoard has been designed to help growers utilise the skills they have and undertake training that will serve them well for board roles. “There’s no shortage of skilled and progressive growers here in Australia, so our goal is to ensure grower voices are represented where it matters most. “Thank-you to all growers who applied to be a part of OnBoard – the applications were a reminder of the experience and depth of talent growers possess.” Other successful 2022 applicants re: Carolyn Stewart, Buckrabanyule, Victoria; David Brownhill, Spring Ridge, Mark Swift, Parkes, NSW; David Woods, Toobeah, Queensland; Fiona Mann, Eradu, Shannon Slade, Kendenup, WA; and James Heaslip, Laura, SA.

Australia’s world-first Sheep Sustainability Framework has announced a series of new appointments to its leadership, including Dr Scott Williams as chair and four new members of a sustainability steering group. Three new representatives have also joined the combined Sheep Producers Australia and WoolProducers Australia board – joint owners of the Sheep Sustainability Framework, SSF. Established in early 2021, the SSF was created to help industry better understand its opportunities, challenges and impacts in key areas such as environmental health, economic resilience, animal care and people and community. It presents evidence to stakeholders that Australian sheep meat and wool is produced responsibly, and demonstrates the industry has a clear path towards continual improvement, where needed. Dr Scott Williams, who has more than 30 years’ experience in animal health, biosecurity, animal welfare, facilitation, strategic planning, corporate governance and the broader agriculture sector, said he was looking forward to building on the important foundational work already completed, to bring an excellent sustainability framework into effect. “Australian sheep meat and wool have become premium products and our customers and consumers are willing to pay a good price but, in return, they expect all of our ‘ducks lined up’ when it comes to quality and integrity,” he said. Belinda Dexter, Ed Dunn, Lachlan Monsbourgh and Anna Playfair-Hannay will join Sustainability Steering Group, and Helen Carrigan, Bonnie Skinner and Ben Thomas will join the SSF board. “This is an outstanding group of leaders from across the supply chain to guide the maturation of the SSF, and I am looking forward to working closely with them to contribute to a truly sustainable and prosperous sheep and wool industry,” Dr Williams said.

Auctions bring back history T

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

o the delight of people in the Wimmera seeking a rifle through history, the easement of COVID-19 restrictions has allowed a return of farming property clearance sales.

Elders Horsham branch manager Mat Taylor said it had been a couple of years since he had managed face-toface clearance sales, but he was excited by their return. Mr Taylor said while people had become accustomed to shopping for second-hand items online, people still enjoyed the historical and community interaction that came with in-person sales. “Things changed a lot with COVID-19,” he said. “People were at ease buying online, but we still hear from so many people who really enjoy coming along to the sale. “They love to sniff around, that old saying – one man’s trash is another’s treasure. “For those people, they have been starved of it. You’ll be surprised how there is a market for anything.” Mr Taylor managed a large clearance sale of farming equipment last week. “This equipment often has a bit of family history about it and it is often sold when a family’s farming history is at an end of an era,” he said.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE: Elders Horsham’s Mat Taylor auctioning at a Horsham clearing sale. The agency has ‘a few’ clearance sales in the pipeline next month. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “It can carry a lot of emotions sometimes, for people selling and buying. Lots of people will come along and see something they remember their family owned. They buy it not because they need it, but because their dad owned one and they need to have it.” However, Mr Taylor said as global supply-chain issues reduced an availability of goods and supplies, the price of usable second-hand equipment

had increased, and agricultural-sector equipment had not been spared this second-hand scurry. He said people had bought farming machinery 20 years ago, kept it in decent condition, and now sold it for a profit. “Due to the unavailability of replacement parts for equipment and machinery, people are willing to pay money for old stuff,” he said.

He said his agency always had a few clearance sales in the pipeline, with a ‘cracker’ of a sale coming up in April. “There is always a lot of work involved to make them happen. Months and months of preparation,” he said. “We have some ring oiler rigs, a ripping sign made in the 1920s, Harley Davidsons, cars, old tools and bits and pieces. There is a collector for everything, and these farms are a gold mine.”

New guide released 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Wimmera dry-land-farmers will be better equipped to plan for the upcoming sowing season thanks to the release of Agriculture Victoria’s 2022 Pulse Disease Guide. Agriculture Victoria senior research scientist Dr Joshua Fanning said the guide included disease ratings and advice on how to reduce risk from disease. “When making plans for this season, checking the latest pulse disease ratings is a crucial step for pulse growers, especially as ratings can change from year to year,” he said. Dr Fanning said diseases from last season could increase the risk of disease during this season. “Most disease outbreaks last season were related to susceptible varieties, demonstrating the benefit in avoiding such varieties,” he said. “Other strategies include not planting pulse crops into or adjacent to paddocks where there was disease in 2021 and implementing a fungicide management plan.” People interested in the 2022 Pulse Disease Guide can visit website agriculture.vic.gov. au/biosecurity/plant-diseases/ grain-pulses-and-cereal-diseases/ pulse-disease-guide.

O’Connors expands to 15 dealerships “Like” Us On Facebook

95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

immera-Mallee agricultural machinery firm O’Connors has continued its expansion by acquiring a further three Case IH dealerships.

The family-owned company, which started in Birchip in 1964 and is the largest Case IH dealer in Australia and New Zealand, has bought the full Sunrise Ag dealerships in Swan Hill and Ouyen and the Case IH broadacre part of a Mildura outlet. The acquisitions take the company from 12 to 15 dealerships and represent an expansion of reach into northwest Victoria. O’Connors expect to finalise the deal in early May. O’Connors chief executive Gareth Webb said the Sunrise Ag dealerships were a good fit for the business and the expansion helped reinforce the strength of the O’Connors network. “The Sunrise Ag location at Ouyen represents a strong broadacre farming area where we have considerable knowledge and experience, while Mildura and Swan Hill have more agricultural diversity where we can work to expand the reach of Case IH smaller horsepower machinery,” he said. “That diversity is exciting for us and we see a lot of opportunities across the three locations. “We have 58 years of experience in the agricultural machinery industry,

IN THE MIX: From left, Sunrise Ag owners Steve and Luke Ayling and O’Connors chief executive Gareth Webb. representing the Case IH brand and building a reputation for outstanding service, and second-to-none knowledge of the industry and commitment to our customers. “With each expansion of our business comes new opportunities and fresh challenges that our staff thrive

on and from which our network can increase its buying power and build our parts and service departments. “We’re looking forward to bringing these benefits to our new customers and ensuring uninterrupted support throughout the transition process.” This most recent expansion extends

O’Connors’ footprint from Ballarat in southern Victoria, north to Condobolin in New South Wale’s central west, and east to Corowa and Shepparton, linking up the dealership network. It follows last year’s acquisition of former Agrimac dealerships in Ballarat and St Arnaud.

Case IH Australia and New Zealand general manager Pete McCann welcomed the news and said it helped secure the Case IH brand in an important agricultural area. “Customers in this region have been well-served by Sunrise Ag and we know this will continue under O’Connors’ ownership,” he said. “They have always demonstrated outstanding customer service and a commitment to staff expertise and after-sales support, building a network of thriving dealerships that serve the needs of their customers and get the best from their staff. “It also helps ensure the ongoing strength and long-term viability of Case IH in Australia and New Zealand, which is important for not only the brand, but all the branches that comprise our extensive network.” The Case IH Dealer of the Year for the past four years, O’Connors has branches across three states, in Ballarat, Birchip, Bordertown, Condobolin, Corowa, Forbes, Grenfell, Horsham, Shepparton, St Arnaud, Warracknabeal and West Wyalong. “We look forward to working with Case IH customers in these new regions and helping deliver what they need to keep their businesses as profitable and efficient as possible,” Mr Webb said.

Cautious optimism

rowing concern about the significant rise in production costs, especially for key inputs such as diesel and fertiliser, has seen a further easing in Victorian farmer confidence levels in the first quarter of 2022.

That’s the result from the latest Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey. However, strong commodity prices and good seasonal conditions are keeping the state’s farmers cautiously optimistic, with sentiment remaining at reasonably solid levels and a high number still planning to increase or maintain investment spending on their businesses in the year ahead. Rabobank regional manager for Southern Victoria Deborah Maskell-Davies said strong commodity prices and great seasonal conditions heading into the cooler months were helping the sector remain upbeat about the year ahead. She said while farmers would be closely watching the unfolding Russia-Ukraine conflict for market volatility and further impacts to farm inputs, at home the key factors of ‘rain at the right time and good pricing’ had lined up very well. “Farmers have had a couple of very good years now and are in a strong position to manage some of

these challenges, helping underpin longer-term optimism,” she said. “Balance sheets are healthy and demand for commodities remains very strong.” Ms Maskell-Davies said managing rising input costs would require some careful planning, but was something ‘most farmers would be equipped to work through’. This quarter’s survey – completed last month – revealed 23 percent of Victorian farmers expected business conditions to improve over the year ahead, down from 33 percent with that view late last year. Fifty-nine percent expected conditions to stay the same, from 49 percent in the previous quarter, while those expecting a deterioration was stable at 15 percent.

Driving factors

The survey found the expectation of rising commodity prices among farmers who were optimistic was being offset by concern about rising input prices among those farmers who have a pessimistic outlook. Good seasonal conditions remained another driving factor of positive sentiment, cited by 45 percent of those with the view agribusiness conditions would improve in the coming 12 months. Sentiment was highest among the state’s dairy producers, with 28

percent expecting improved business conditions this year, while 60 percent and 66 percent of beef and sheep producers respectively forecast a continuation of last year’s good business conditions. Just over half of all Victorian grain and crop farmers surveyed tipped a continuation of last year’s operating conditions. Ms Maskell-Davies said yields across the state’s cropping regions, but particularly in northern and western Victoria, had been ‘phenomenal’. She said although harvest had dragged on into the new year due to wet conditions, prices had still held up well for downgraded grain. She said while conditions in the Wimmera-Mallee were dry at present, producer confidence in the area was very high, while elsewhere farmers were planning for a full winter cropping program thanks to consistent summer rain. “Many farmers have budgeted for higher input and growing costs, and a lot have already secured inputs at the end of last year to help manage costs and supply issues,” she said. The Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey questions an average of 1000 primary producers across a wide range of commodities and geographical areas throughout Australia on a quarterly basis.

TAKE ACTION: WeedSmart’s western extension agronomist Peter Newman says spraying summer weeds is one of the greatest returns on investment in modern agriculture.

Control in a high input cost year With the cost of glyphosate sitting at about $14 a litre, is it still worth spraying summer weeds? WeedSmart’s western extension agronomist Peter Newman says yes; spraying summer weeds is one of the greatest returns on investment in modern agriculture – preserving soil nitrogen and moisture reserves for the following crop. “As Dr James Hunt’s research at La Trobe University showed, the top foot of soil will dry out over summer, regardless of how much stubble is on the soil surface, but transpiration by summer weeds is the only mechanism that can remove water from below 30cm,” he said. In the face of high herbicide costs this season, growers who normally spray summer weeds as soon as they appear

might be wondering if the benefit still outweighs the cost. “I believe it will still be worthwhile because summer spraying preserves soil nitrogen, which is also very expensive, and the outlook for high grain prices is strong,” Mr Newman said. “Even though input costs will be higher than previous years, the benefits are likely to be significant as grain prices strengthen for the 2022 season.” People wanting more information about summer weed management can visit website, weedsmart.org.au.

Delivering protection for farmers “Like” Us On Facebook

95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY NICK RIDLEY

tate leaders have passed legislation to increase on-thespot fines for animal activists and groups who trespass onto farm properties.

Victorian Police will issue $1272 onthe-spot fines and individual activists who commit serious trespass offences will receive fines from a court of up to $10,000 and groups more than $50,000. Victorian Farmers Federation Wimmera branch president Graeme Maher praised state leaders for passing the legislation. He said the legislation would especially protect duck farmers from biosecurity threats and emotional distress from false accusations. “It’s time they understood how they make us feel,” he said. “You can’t falsely accuse a person and just walk onto their property.” Mr Maher said livestock farmers in the Wimmera had a strong connection with their animals. “It’s not in our interest to mistreat our animals, we make sure we look after them so they can look after us,” he said. Mr Maher claimed livestock farmers who had issues with animal-activist groups were often portrayed in a bad light. “Mediation isn’t part of an animal-

activist group’s agenda. PETA will accuse you of mistreatment because they have a set position,” he said. VFF president Emma Germano also welcomed legislation to increase penalties for animal rights activists and groups that trespassed on farmers’ properties. Ms Germano said the legislation had been introduced after a three-year inquiry into the impact of Animal Rights Activism on Victorian Agriculture. “We were faced with an unacceptable situation where animal activists were getting off virtually scot-free,” she said. “This is a big step in providing better protection for farmers from law-breaking animal activists.” VFF leaders will work with Agriculture Victoria to assist farmers with biosecurity threats. Ms Germano said farmers in the state were dealing with significant human and animal biosecurity outbreaks. “The biosecurity-management plans will not only protect farmers from unacceptable harassment by animal activists, but also from potential biosecurity breaches,” she said. State Minister for Agriculture MaryAnne Thomas said it was ‘terrific’ to be able to deliver more protections to farmers in the state. She said the State Government had introduced the toughest on-the-spot

“It’s not in our interest to mistreat our animals, we make sure we look after them so they can look after us”

fines in the country. “This has been a great and significant accomplishment and something that I am very proud of,” she said. State National and Liberal parties had attacked the State Government for being too lenient on animal rights activists. LNP leaders had pushed for amendments to the legislation to increase fines from $10,904 to $21,809 for individuals who trespassed onto properties.

Ms Thomas dismissed the proposals, adding the fines were large enough to act as a deterrent for animal-rights activists and groups who had intentions of trespassing. “For the first time we have implemented fines for organisations that are involved with animal activist trespass,” she said. Nationals leader and Shadow Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh slammed the Labor government for ‘abandon-

ing’ farmers, adding the State Government had kowtowed to Greens parliamentarians in the hopes to get re-elected. Mr Walsh said he was disappointed about how the legislation had passed. He said the Liberals and Nationals had proposed two amendments to the proposed Bill that would create fines that would be in line with similar legislation in New South Wales. He said Labor leaders had teamed up with the Greens and Independent members of parliament in the upper house to introduce some of the lowest fines in the nation. Mr Walsh said the State Government had revealed where its sympathies lied and had turned its back on ‘hard-working’ women and men who produced the food and fibre that fed the nation. “Doubling the maximum fine would have sent a strong message to anyone considering trespassing onto a farmer’s property and that Victorians don’t tolerate illegal farm invasions,” he said.

Specs firm Dual-motor e:HEV hybrid to top third-gen Honda HR-V range

onda Australia has released further specification and equipment details of its all-new HR-V small SUV, which is due to arrive in showrooms later this month.

In addition to featuring an e:HEV dual-motor hybrid powertrain, coupeinspired styling, the latest-specification Honda Sensing safety and driverassistance technology, as well as clever packaging, the third-generation HR-V will bring chassis and suspension enhancements to the range ‘to provide an agile and enjoyable driving experience’, the Japanese brand says. Riding on an updated version of Honda’s global small platform, the new HR-V will be offered in two trim

grades. The entry-level Vi-X will feature Honda’s proven 1.5-litre i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine, while the high-grade e:HEV L will be powered by the aforementioned e:HEV dualmotor petrol-electric hybrid combination with three drive modes: electric, hybrid and petrol. Standard equipment is set to include 18-inch alloy wheels with tyre pressure monitoring, LED headlights with auto high-beam, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow technology, a 9.0-inch infotainment array with integral satellite navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay, and keyless entry with push-button start. The high-grade e:HEV L will have a hands-free tailgate with walk-away

close, heated steering wheel and front seats, an acoustic windscreen and LED active cornering lights. Honda says the new-generation HR-V features a more rigid body structure than the outgoing model and ‘benefits from extensive suspension, steering and braking enhancements’. A slightly longer wheelbase is further set to improve the model’s ride quality, while an ‘all-encompassing approach to NVH management’ will improve noise insulation and overall cabin refinement. The HR-V is said to offer comparable interior space to mid-size SUVs, with the rear seats positioned 30mm further rearward to extend second-row legroom, while the model’s rear back-

rest offers an additional two degrees of recline compared with that of its predecessor. The model also benefits from a new Air Diffusion System that Honda claims delivers ‘the restorative effects of a natural breeze to all occupants’. The air-conditioning update joins an LCD centre screen that was designed to minimise driver distraction and whose menu system is fully customisable. The system is also quicker to respond to inputs and offers an interface Honda says is comparable to smartphone-style controls. Over and above wireless Apple CarPlay interface, the system includes wired Android Auto connectivity and can receive overthe-air updates to maintain mapping

and software currency. Both HR-V grades are fitted with the latest iteration of Honda Sensing technology, including forward-collision warning, a collision mitigation braking system, lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist systems, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, high-beam support and a traffic-sign recognition system.

Prodrive’s adventure machine

rodrive has unleashed its 600hp four-wheel-drive adventure machine.

FAST AND FURIOUS: Prodrive’s new adventure machine, the Hunter, is said to deliver ‘unrivalled ability across any landscape’. the ‘traditional controls found on a road car’. Prodrive chairman David Richards said there were numerous hypercars on the market. “However, they all need good roads or even race tracks to show their performance,” he said. “We identified that in certain parts

of the world, particularly the Middle East, there are vast expanses still to be explored that go way beyond the access provided by asphalt roads. “Therefore, why not create a vehicle that gives the opportunity to explore these regions with performance way beyond that offered by any off-road vehicle before?”

Mr Richards estimates the Hunter can accelerate from zero to 100kmh in under four seconds and go on to a top speed of ‘nearly 300kmh’. The Hunter rides on 35-inch off-road tyres, features an FIA-standard safety cage and stopping ability is provided by six-pot calipers. “We took the deliberate decision to

The provocatively named Hunter is said to deliver ‘unrivalled ability across any landscape’. Prodrive says the Hunter, which looks like a vehicle from a movie set, was born out of the Bahrain Raid Xtreme competition car driven by nine-time World Rally champion Sebastian Loeb and, like that vehicle, is equally capable of tackling desert sand dunes and rough mountain tracks. Powered by a front-mid mounted 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine producing peak torque of 700Nm, the beastly Hunter runs a six-speed paddle shift sequential gearbox and massive suspension travel, 400mm, to absorb the harshest terrain. The Hunter’s strengthened steel-tubular structure and carbon-fibre composite body is suspended by doublewishbone suspension all-round with twin adjustable dampers per wheel. Prodrive says the Hunter is faster, and even more capable, than Loeb’s race car, but also more refined. Penned by Ian Callum, ex-Aston Martin and Jaguar car designer, the Hunter’s design offers a reworked interior its maker says is ‘more in keeping with everyday use than racing’, replete with a digital instrument display and centre console with all of

keep the Hunter hypercar as close to the original as possible,” Mr Richards said. “It’s about giving owners the opportunity to experience what it is like to drive Loeb’s Dakar car across the desert, but with all the comforts of a road car and the ability to drive it from your home, through a city, to any destination of your choice.” Prodrive says the Hunter has been designed to minimise overall weight and optimise the vehicle’s weight distribution and centre of gravity. All the bodywork is made from lightweight carbon composite, which includes recycled materials produced by Prodrive Composites. Inside, the Hunter features raceready components such as carbonfibre seats, six-point safety harnesses, dual fire extinguisher system, a lightweight lithium-ion battery and a 480-litre safety-cell fuel system. “The first development vehicle is currently touring the Middle East where customers are being offered the opportunity to drive the Hunter and confirm their personal specification for production vehicles to be delivered later this year,” Mr Richardson said. The Prodrive Hunter is available to order for $2.23-million plus local taxes. – Matt Brogan

Audi S3 touches down in Oz

udi’s sizzling new S3 has touched down in Australia almost two years behind its European rollout in May of 2020.

Delays associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and semiconductor shortages meant the availability of the mid-tier sports model was curtailed, although arguably, the wait has been worthwhile. Audi Australia product planner Peter Strudwicke said the home-ground debut of the new model was of critical importance to the Ingolstadt-based brand on the local market, where it has accounted for almost a quarter of A3 range sales. “The S3 is a really important car for us because it’s brand new in the A3 range,” he said. “We sold more than 10,000 examples of the previous-generation car, so it’s done extremely well for us, and we expect similar numbers in this generation – a mix of about 25 percent of all A3 sales.” Priced from $69,900 plus on-road costs, the fourth-generation S3 is $5700 dearer than the outgoing model and is now more closely aligned with the entry price of its nearest competitors – the BMW M135i Pure and the Mercedes-AMG A35. The new model features a revised EA888-series engine which now develops 228kW and 400Nm, up 15kW and 20Nm on its predecessor, recalibrated seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, revised quattro all-wheel drive system and faster-acting electrohydraulic dampers in place of the outgoing model’s magnetic units. Audi quotes a 0-100kmh acceleration time of 4.8 seconds for the new S3, with claimed fuel consumption figures of 7.4-litres-100km for the Sportback and 7.3-litres-100km for the slipperier sedan. The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder mill under the S3’s bonnet develops a peak torque band that lasts from 2000-5450rpm and peak power that takes over from there until 6500rpm. The additional outputs were liberated by a reclassification of Australia’s climate by Audi’s Volkswagen Group parent company. “The new S3 is up 15kW and 20Nm over the outgoing model so it’s a really strong, muscular engine. It’s

Maps smartphone apps plus live traffic, hazard, parking, fuel pricing and weather information. A long list of safety and driver assistance equipment includes adaptive Matrix LED headlights, pedestrian and cyclist detection for the forwardcollision warning and autonomous emergency braking system, lanedeparture and lane-change warning, rear cross-traffic alert and assisted parking, adaptive cruise control with traffic jam and emergency assist, exit warning and tyre pressure monitoring.

Online services

HOMEGROUND DEBUT: After a two-year delay, Audi’s heavily-revised and high-tech S3 is now available. also been refined over a number of generations to achieve good, solid fuel consumption figures,” Mr Strudwicke said. “The new-generation electro-hydraulic adaptive dampers also have a lot more to offer drivers than was possible from the Magnetic Ride system of the previous generation. “It has a broader bandwidth than before so it responds more quickly, as does the updated multi-plate clutch system at the rear to control the quattro all-wheel drive, and the progressive rate steering. “It’s safe to say that everything has been upgraded.” Riding on 15mm lower suspension and 19-inch alloy wheels in a fivespoke Y-arm design in matte titanium finish – or five double spokes in anthracite black for $300 extra – the S3 is fitted with 234-35 tyres. Stopping power comes from 340mm ventilated front brake rotors and 312mm rear discs.

Interior

Inside, a redesigned dashboard houses a 10.1-inch touchscreen and a 15-speaker premium Bang & Olufsen sound system through which audio can be sourced from digital radio,

Bluetooth or USB streaming via the Audi smartphone interface, or wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto connectivity. Audi’s 12.3-inch customisable Virtual Cockpit digital instrument panel is now standard and includes a unique

S Performance display format, as well as special layouts when Dynamic or Sport drive modes are selected. The extra computing ‘horsepower’ enables 3D navigation mapping with natural speech recognition, free text search via the myAudi or Google

Embedded online services enable remote car finding, remote lock-unlock, emergency calling and online roadside assist. A moderately larger cabin provides S3 occupants with a bit more elbow room, while lower positioned front seats add to this variant’s sporty theme. The S3 is further differentiated over its donor model by stainless steel pedals, S emblem on the seats and steering wheel, as well as dark aluminium trim highlights, an anthracite colour scheme with contrast stitching and 30-colour ambient lighting. The redesigned front sports seats include heating and four-way electric lumbar support adjustment and in terms of practicality, the Sportback variant is said to provide a 325-litre load-bay capacity. When the 5-door’s 40:20:40 split-folding rear-seat backrests are folded the load volume balloons to a claimed 1145 litres. Like all new Audi passenger vehicles, the S3 Sportback and sedan are backed by a five-year warranty and a pre-paid five-year servicing plan will cost buyers an additional $2580. Mr Strudwicke said the S3 remained one of the best value and most exciting Audi Sport models available. He said the range would be further bolstered by the upcoming addition of the fire-breathing RS3. “That’s something we’re all looking forward to,” he said. The Audi A3 and S3 ranges are available now. – Matt Brogan

There are so many ways we can seek refuge – people with mental health struggles, those of us who face challenging times, refugees, people who are frightened – the list goes on. All of us need a safe place, a refuge; somewhere we can go to feel welcomed, accepted, heard. Somewhere we can get help and support, or just a presence of someone who cares. There are over 60 places where the Bible speaks about God being that place – a Refuge, a Rock, our strength. Writers across time, from the author of the books of Deuteronomy, Ruth, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Joel, Nahum as well as the many references by the writers of the Psalms. A writer of a Psalm said, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Does this mean we avoid trouble? No! Rather, we know that we are not alone; that there is a strength and a peace we can have even in the midst of trouble and disaster. He goes on to say, “Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake.” (Psalm 46:1-3). May we all know that in the loving God there is a place of refuge, and have the courage to go there and find peace and strength beyond ourselves, no matter where we are - be it amongst floods or war.

claims Stanley drives home winner Davies maiden win

BY TONY LOGAN

WINNING FAMILY: Winning trainer-driver Michael Stanley with McLeod family members, after the James McLeod Memorial Trophy Pace at Stawell last week. Picture: STAWELL HARNESS RACING CLUB

amilton driver Jackie Barker and Burrumbeet trainer-driver Michael Stanley took the honours on a nine-event card of harness action at Stawell’s Laidlaw Park.

Barker landed a quartet of winners for the afternoon and Stanley snared a feature double in taking out both the $10,500 James McLeod Memorial Trophy Pace and $8500 Judith McLeod Memorial Trophy Pace. First up from a spell, Stanley’s four-year-old entire Drain The Swamp gave a brilliant display of front running in the ‘James McLeod’ to score by 18 metres in equaltrack-record time of 1.56.3 over the 2160-metre journey. Stablemate Let It Linga repeated the dose in the ‘Judith McLeod’. Also first up from a spell, the fouryear-old mare led from go to whoa to post an effortless 14-metre victory in a rate of 1.55.7 over the 1785-metre sprint. Barker landed the first of her four in the opening event of the day with nine-year-old gelding Jack Of The Green in a $7000 Trotters Handicap for her grandfather-trainer Jim Barker and owner Stacey Barker. The talented horsewoman later reined the stablemates Elli Joh and Jackierabbit to greet the judge for

Elliminyt trainer Julie Brimacombe in a maiden pace. Barker also combined with Heywood trainer Rebecca East for success with She Will Wantano in a $7000 pace.

Diva delight

Haven’s horse-loving family of Justin, Jo, Morgan and Reilly Lane have enjoyed a marvellous March with their mare Muckinbar Diva, capped off at Bendigo last week with her third successive victory. The daughter of Shadow Play and Muckinbar Lady with Kerryn Manning aboard, showed brilliant early toe to claim the lead from gate five and from that point on, the result was never in doubt. Once in front, ‘The Diva’ relaxed beautifully through the middle stages

and with ears pricked dashed home in 28.0 seconds to score by 4.4 metres in a rate of 1.56.5 for the 1650-metre dash. All going well, the Lanes can look forward to the upcoming heats of the Alabar Vicbred Platinum Mares Sprint Championship and hopefully a spot in the $40,000 final at Tabcorp Park on August 6.

Echuca

Victoria’s country cup carnival continued at Echuca on Friday night where the powerful Emma Stewart-Clayton Tonkin stable continued its purple patch with a one-two-three finish in the $35,000 Echuca Pacing Cup. Demon Delight – Jackie Barker – backed up just five days after its win in the Charlton Pacing Cup to add an-

other trophy to the Hockham family’s mantlepiece. The six-year-old stallion led all the way to score from Like A Wildfire – Leigh Sutton – and Phoenix Prince – Jodie Quinlan – in a rate of two minutes dead for the 2560-metre journey.

Ouyen

Ouyen buzzed on Sunday afternoon for the town’s 2022 cup day and Charlton’s Sanderson family enjoyed their time in the sun with Equity Stride’s victory in the $14,500 Ouyen Pacing Cup. With Ryan Sanderson taking the reins for father-trainer Shane, the lightly raced five-year-old held off Naracoorte owner-trainer Greg Scholfield’s four-year-old Stratofortress in a very close finish, with Pocket The Deal – Jack Laugher – third.

Stawell Amateur Athletic Club ran its 7.3-kilometre A. Peterson handicap in the ‘Ironbarks’ on Saturday, with Claire Davies winning her first race by six seconds. Davies, with a time of 46.39 minutes, got into running during the state’s first lockdown and challenged herself to complete the ‘50k in May’ multiple-sclerosis fundraiser in 2021. A close friend encouraged her to run with the Stawell club. She has goals to complete the 12-kilometre ‘Run the Gap’ and ‘50k in May’ this year. Shaun Ellis posted a time of 34.05 to claim second place in front of Karl Scott with a time of 39.03. Tom Walker was fastest male with a time of 25.51 and Jess Maffescioni was fastest female with a time of 33.56. Well done to James Scott-Bohanna for completing his first Stawell Amateur Athletic Club race. Oscar Ellis won a sub-junior race ahead of Willow Davies and Eva Harrison. Will Freeland was the fastest runner over the one-kilometre race. There were 38 runners competing on the day, along with many family supporters. The club’s next event will be the Keith Haymes Championships on Saturday. Registrations will be at clubrooms from 9.30am for a 10am start in the Ironbarks’ Hodges track. – Nathan Baker

SHOWDOWN: Haven’s Asha McGennisken returns fire over the net.

St Michaels claim glory Wimmera tennis grand finals last Saturday brought the Central Wimmera Tennis Association 2021-22 season to a thrilling close. St Michaels has won the pennant premiership title for the second season running. St Michaels defeated Drung South Purple 7-80 to 5-60 on a lawn surface grand-final showdown at Horsham Lawn Tennis Club. They overcame a Drung South Purple side that stormed home through the back end of the season to mount a serious premiership challenge. The win wrapped up St Michaels’ powerful 2021-22 season performance. It finished second on the homeand-away ladder, behind Horsham Lawn; and overcame the ever-present Kalkee in the semi-final round. While St Michaels entered last Saturday’s match perhaps the favourite to take out the silverware, much was pinned to performances of individual players on the day. In other division grand-final matches: Horsham Lawn Thompson won the A Special grand final beating Natimuk 9-79 to 5-74; 2022

centenary club Haven beat Horsham Lawn Bardell in the A Grade grand final 7-78 to 5-72; and Laharum overcame St Michaels in the B Special grand final 10-91 to 2-58. Association president Jeremy Quast said Drung South Purple put up an amazing effort, but St Michaels was just too strong. “Drung South Purple had a number of players who stepped up into A Grade for their first full year, which was an incredible effort all season. Look out in years to come because they will only get stronger and stronger,” he said. “Congratulations to St Michaels though. While it was an easy win on games, a set here or there would have seen things change quite substantially. But they were such a strong outfit all year and should be strong again next year. Teams will have to work out how to get the better of them soon.” He said an A Special grand-final rematch between Natimuk and Horsham Lawn Thompson was ‘great’ to watch and Laharum deserved its B Special title after a dominant display all year. – Michael Scalzo

A Wimmera netball association hopes to inspire new generations of Victorian netballers by hosting inclusive netball development days next month. Horsham City Netball Association invites young netballers, umpires and coaches from the Wimmera and southern Mallee to two days of workshops, led by a team of professional netball umpires and coaches. Netball development organisation, Inspire Netball Group, has partnered with the association to stage the two-day clinic and provide training programs and coaches. Jade Heinrich, an under-17 Victorian State Program netball coach, Greg Heinrich, a Victorian Netball League coach, Josh Bowring, a world championship and Commonwealth Games umpire, and Bridget Kase, a Victorian Netball League umpire, will lead participants through the development program. The Monday development program on April 11 includes: Age 11 to 13 player development, 10am to 3pm; age 13 to 17 beginner umpire development, 10am to 3pm; senior umpires’ workshop, 6pm to 8pm; and senior coaches’ workshop, 6pm to 7.30pm. The Tuesday development program on April 12 includes: Age 14 to 17 player development, 10am to 3pm; and intermediate umpires’ workshop, noon to 3pm. Bookings and location instructions are available on Horsham City Netball Association’s social media page.

Wimmera football umpires have laid down a challenge to footballers and netballers in the lead-up to the start of the season next week. An ‘Outrun the Ump’ themed Wimmera River parkrun will see umpires encouraging people to have a run, jog and walk on Saturday. AFL Wimmera Mallee director of umpiring Cameron Pickering said an all-abilities umpire, dressed in their green gear, would act as a pace setter or target to chase. “Umpires are going through their final preparations for the season and we are still looking for new members,” he said. “The parkrun is a great way to promote the health and social benefits of umpiring, while having a run themselves. “If anyone is interested in more information about the ‘Outrun the Ump’ parkrun even or thinking about umpiring footy, it’s not too late.” Wimmera River parkrun starts from Sawyer Park at 8am on Saturdays. People can preregister at parkrun.com.au/wimmera riverhorsham. Mr Pickering said people interested in umpiring could call him on 0428 922 589.

in 2022

Bombs away L

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

eaders at Noradjuha-Quantong say the club’s success in Horsham District league is due to ‘hard work’.

The Bombers have the results to back it up, too. The senior football team finished the 2021 season on top of the ladder and the A Grade netball side was second to Laharum. Incoming club president and former vice-president Matt Treacy said a club did not become successful on its own. Mr Treacy said Bombers leaders were always thinking of the long-term future of the club, foresight that kept the club ‘steady’ during the challenges of COVID-19 interruptions. “The club, off the field, made decisions that were always in the best interest for the future of the club. It isn’t always about now, but about five to 10 years down the track,” he said. “For example, we were fortunate enough, before the COVID-19 interruptions kicked in, to have a solid junior program in place. And those efforts have started to bear fruit now. “It has really set the club up to be in a strong position because of that work put in before the pandemic began.” Mr Treacy said the club always has a wish-list full of finals and premierships aspirations, but success could be defined in various ways and the

foundations of future success were important to maintain. Senior football coach Gareth Hose said keeping player motivation high during the early pre-season was more difficult than previous seasons. “Last year’s non-finished season really impacted our players’ motivation early on and I know this has been a factor for other clubs too,” he said. “Now a few weeks out from round one, things have certainly ramped up a lot and the commitment level has increased.” His side, like many football teams in the Wimmera, has experienced some player turn-over since the end of last year. Hose said the team had lost a couple players but picked up four or five in their place. “A few players’ futures are still up in the air, and we have some guys dealing with long-term injuries too,” he said. He said a focus this pre-season was to continue strengthening the side’s team-defence approach and capitalise on forward-fifty entries with useful efficiency. “That is perhaps an area internally we wanted to improve, not turning the footy over as much,” he said. “As well as working on cementing our centre-bounce and stoppage structures. Because of some midfield

“For a few years we were the side hunting the top teams, so perhaps we flew under the radar a bit. We can’t do that anymore – finishing on top means we will be targeted more by teams trying to knock us off our perch” – Gareth Hose, left turnover, with some younger guys stepping in, we want to re-establish that elite midfield connectivity.” Hose said he was aware the Bombers would be the ‘hunted’ in 2022. “For a few years we were the side hunting the top teams, so perhaps we flew under the radar a bit. We can’t do that anymore – finishing on top means we will be targeted more by teams trying to knock us off our perch,” he said. “But we have worked hard to gain respect from the competition and that’s no different this year. We will go about our business in our way, playing a good brand of Bombers footy.” Hose said Damian Cameron had joined him as joint playing-coach in 2022. “Damian is an experienced coach in his own right. He previously coached Minyip-Murtoa and he sets a high

standard for all our players at training,” he said. “He has a great knowledge of the game and it has been awesome working with him.” Senior netball coach Fiona Rowe said while the A Grade squad’s enthusiasm was a feature of its pre-season so far, the ‘test’ was to hit the ground running from round one. “It was disappointing obviously to finish like we did last year, but we’ve got the gang back together and there has been a lot of enthusiasm for the season to get going,” she said. Rowe said with great numbers on the training court, the side’s focus was on generating a team atmosphere. “This year we are about creating a dynamic where we can all push each other on and off the court. We want to challenge each other to be better net-

ballers and better team players too,” she said. “We hope to have a strong team and we will be interested to see how we go against the top squads.” Rowe said a few new defenders would have a chance to create some havoc for the opposition at the back end of the court. “Other than a few incoming players, things will be fairly similar to last season for us,” she said. “We have some under-17s players training with the squad and if they get the opportunity for selection during the season – then great. Otherwise, they are just training at the moment.” Rowe emphasised the A Grade team wanted to play finals in 2022. “Finals is our goal, but let’s see what happens when the season starts,” she said.

Southern Mallee Giants

in 2022

Fair and competitive mantra BY MICHAEL SCALZO

immera Football Netball League’s most-northern institution, Southern Mallee Giants, has settled as a regional power club since league-hopping in 2018.

The Giants’ senior football team scored a coveted top-two finish by the end of the 2021 season, which would have set the side up nicely for a premiership tilt, albeit for COVID-19 restrictions. Ditto the club’s A Grade netball team, which finished top of the ladder. Incoming president Nathan Williams said the club earned a lot of respect from the Wimmera league since its move from Horsham district league. “We want to be a good club that plays fair,” he said. “We have been really competitive as a club since joining the league and we feel our opposition respects the club in that way too.” Mr Williams said the club prided itself on being successful and fair. “We will always have a go,” he said. “Regardless of results that is what we take pride in. We like to be successful, but also have fun while doing it.” Incoming netball coach Anthony Schache played a significant role at the Giants’ pre-merger roots-club Hopetoun. He brings with him a netball coaching history as well as significant committee experience.

He said the A Grade side was excited to start the season, however, yearly player movement meant the team had lost more players than gained. “We have picked up some good players, so we do hope to be competitive in 2021,” Schache said. “As a small club though, we have to give our junior players every opportunity to develop and keep them around as long as we can. “Every team has to keep promoting juniors and younger players into senior roles, which we will do.” Schache said the side had the ends and midcourt covered with fit and hard-working players. “We want to be the best prepared team we can and the girls have been working extremely hard this pre-season to accomplish that,” he said. He said the side would not set itself ‘win-based’ goals in 2022, other than being the best netball side it could be. “The focus is to enjoy ourselves on the court, celebrate the small wins and not focus on the big picture goals of finals or premierships just yet,” he said. “We do want to be known as hard to play against though.” Schache said from watching the Giants netballers from ‘outside’ the team, he praised the professionalism and energy. “It is a happy club to be a part of. It is well run and the president is sensational,” he said.

“I am happy to be involved with the club again and am looking forward to working with the girls throughout the season.” Senior football coach Luke Mahony said the side had also lost some experienced players since last season; gone to explore coaching roles at other clubs. “We have had a little bit of turnover since 2021,” he said. “Brock Orval, Clint Burdett and Ted Lindon have all moved on, which is a few good players you never want to head off. They are a big loss. “But we are happy with our recruiting for this season. We have picked up a few guys to top up our list. “Now it is about getting stuck into the season and seeing how we stand up to other sides that also had big off-season recruiting.” Mahony said every pre-season the ‘rumour-mill’ ran hot with speculation about player turnover and finals pre-determination, but until games were played ‘you just do not know where you stand’. He said the team would continue to move the ball quickly and break the game open when possible, as they did in 2021. “We always want to be that team that is hard to play against over four quarters. Whoever we play they will face a group that will give it their all, all game,” he said.

Awards end top carnival BOX ONE BY PETER CARTER

orsham Greyhound Club wound up a successful carnival with a community grants presentation night.

The club also announced its 2021 annual award winners at the event. Each year the club allocates trainers points on a sliding scale system when one of their greyhounds finishes first, second or third in a race at the Horsham track. As a result, this year Andrea Gurry from Nhill became ‘Local Horsham Trainer of the Year’ and overall ‘Horsham Trainer of the Year’ for 2021. In previous years, large Melbourne kennels usually won trainer of the year. Andrea trained 40 winners for the year, actually less than second-placed Garry George of Beulah – with Garry training a massive 47 winners for the 2021 calendar year. Garry’s results would normally secure trainer-of-the-year honours, but Andrea had a large amount of other runners finishing second and third, which in-turn boosted her total points for the year to 355.5. Garry finished on 317. Garry, however, won a 2021 local achievement award for training the most winners in a calendar year by a local trainer. The most in the club’s history to date. As a result he finished with a strike rate of

WINNERS: Andrea Gurry, Nhill, and Garry George, Beulah, were Horsham Greyhound Racing Club’s top award winners. greater than 30 percent, almost double the industry average. Andrea finished the award ceremony as she started; with her Greyhound Fearless Pigeon awarded the 2021 Horsham Greyhound of The Year. ‘Pigeon’ finished with a 2021 Horsham race record of seven wins, six seconds and four thirds. Both Andrea and Garry train teams of no more than 12 racing dogs at one time and travel many kilometres to race and trial their dogs at multiple tracks across Victoria. On a side note, now that the carnival has come to an end and our regular Tuesday racing slot is back, bingo has started again every Friday at the club and kicks off at 1pm. Feel free to come on down. The more the merrier.

Juniors to shine A

BY DAVID BERRY

15-year gap in the junior country championship volleyball calendar will be bridged this weekend when Volleyball Horsham hosts the Junior Country Championships for players aged under 17.

Teams representing Horsham, Geelong and Sunraysia will participate in the first Junior Country Championship since Geelong last hosted the event in 2007. While disappointed with the response from country volleyball associations, Volleyball Horsham, Geelong and Sunraysia all agreed to support the event, in order to give their junior members an opportunity to experience a championship competition. To ensure the participants maximized their experience, Volleyball Horsham was able to get permission from Country Championship Commission to stage a mixed event alongside the championships, to give the players extra court time. This has enabled Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College to enter a team of mixed players after it was successful at the intermediate Black Ranges championships recently in Horsham. It will join Geelong, which will form two mixed teams and Horsham, which will form three mixed teams in the stand alone event. Volleyball Horsham’s boys and girls teams have been busy preparing for the championships since the start of term and have shown great improvement with their skills under coaches Dimitrios Vettos, Kimberley Crabtree and Tamikah Dockrill. Having come off a two-year period where no play and training had occurred, the Volleyball Horsham players have enthusiastically tackled

their training, making the job of the coaches quite enjoyable. Boys coach Vettos has found coaching has given him a new perspective on the game. “Having returned to Horsham after a decade away, I felt it was time to give something back, and to coach the boys in preparation for this event has given me the opportunity to pass onto them my learnings and experiences,” he said. Girls coach Dockrill found coaching to be quite a challenge. “The girl’s range in age from 13 to 16 with many of them not being involved in a training environment before, so both Kimberley and I had to strip it right back to basics in most cases, because the players were very inexperienced when it came to this higher level training environment,” she said. The boys team comprises Heath Warrick, Malachy O’Brien, Jasper Ponseca, Zane Joseph, Sam Mackley, Joel Brilliant, Sebastian Maggs, Jai Sartori-Billman, Roland Brooke and Logan Young, under coach Vettos and team manager Ellonia Barnett. The girls team is made up of Clare Whyte, Grace Turner, Paige Hemley, Taylor Maggs, Sophie Quick, Ella Van Duren, Milly Fagan, Matilda Gawith, Charlett Saligari, Greta Van, Paige Millar and Cass Buckley under coach Dockrill, assistant Crabtree and team manager Jorja Gardy. Volleyball Horsham has gathered an army of volunteers who will help with tournament administration and canteen and barbecue duties. To all of these volunteers we thank you for giving of your time and hope you enjoy being part of what we hope will be a great weekend.
