International push A

BY DEAN LAWSON

10-year vision to attract an extra $20-million in international tourism spending in the Grampians is at the core of why Marc Sleeman is ‘spreading the word’ in Europe this week.

Grampians Tourism has a mission to double the 54,400 international visitors to the region in the next decade and is taking a sales pitch directly to the market.

Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman jetted off on Saturday for a 10-day whirlwind promotional tour of major cities in Europe and the United Kingdom.

As part of a Visit Victoria Roadshow he has the responsibility of promoting western Victoria’s Great Southern Touring Route, which includes the Grampians, Ballarat, Geelong-Bellarine and Great Ocean Road tourism regions.

Representatives from Destination Gippsland and Destination Phillip Island and Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges tourism boards are also on the tour.

“It’s an intense 10 days visiting seven cities where we meet with key international wholesale travel agencies and tell them why they need to visit our part of the world,” Mr Sleeman said.

“I’m representing about a quarter of the state because the reality is that international visitors do not simply come to Victoria regions in isolation.

“We, for example, leverage off exposure of the Great Ocean Road or perhaps Sovereign Hill in Ballarat in encouraging people to also spend extended time in the Grampians.”

Mr Sleeman said different international markets presented differing opportunities to regional areas and there was a strong message that Europe and the United Kingdom offered considerable growth potential for the Grampians.

“We see this market as a significant opportunity for the touring route

and the roadshow provides us with a chance to connect directly with major industry players in a short period of time,” he said.

“The UK and European markets have an appetite for regional Victoria.

“Visitors from these parts of the world tend to disperse right across the regions and represent growth opportunities for the industry.

“The UK and Europe represents 53.3 percent of all international visitation to the Grampians.

“Visitors from other international markets don’t necessarily spend as much time as this group in regional Victoria.”

Mr Sleeman said a collective lure

in attracting European visitors to the Grampians was the combination of wilderness, wildlife, wine, food and hospitality.

“When it comes to the Grampians the prospect of ‘big nature’ is a major attractant and we have it in spades,” he said.

“Of course we also have our wonderful wine industry and plenty of good food and I think the other element we have that is infinite is our hospitality.

“We truly welcome visitors into our region and they leave feeling like they are part of the family.”

Wheels in motion for DATA farm A

BY DEAN LAWSON

$3.6-million project to place Longerenong College at the cutting edge of broadacre agricultural technology has reached a critical milestone with sign-off on the venture.

Signatures from agencies involved in establishing a one-of-a-kind technology-based demonstration farm at the college have given the project the official green light.

Project leader Skillinvest, which operates the college, the State Government, backing the project with $2.5-million, and GWMWater, providing technical project support, are all signatories.

Wimmera Development Association and Birchip Cropping Group are also

part of the partnership. Preparations for the Demonstration of Agricultural Technology Applications – DATA – farm project had been well underway since the government confirmed funding support last year.

The signing-off provides it with critical momentum.

The college is spending just under $1-million on new state-of-the-art equipment as part of the project, with some having already arrived and a new self-propelled boom spray scheduled to arrive at the end of the month.

Other machinery to arrive has included the latest in fertiliser spreaders and side-by-side utility vehicles.

Skillinvest operates the college and chief executive Darren Webster said development would rapidly gain pace, with the farm on schedule to be fully

established in 2020 and a DATA-farm teaching program in full swing by 2021.

“We’re talking about a 1000-hectare farm and exposing students, farmers and industry to the latest technology available,” he said.

“It is going to be an important part of Longerenong curriculum and will take the farm-learning experience at Longerenong to another level.”

Fully digitalised

Under the plan the college farm will become fully digitalised, providing physical training for students and a space where farmers can gain insight into the use of latest technology.

“Research into developing agricultural technology has gone through the roof in recent years but this isn’t nec-

essarily matched by farmer take-up,” Mr Webster said.

“Many farmers collect a lot of data but a key is how to use that data productively and efficiently and hopefully in setting up a trial farm at Longerenong we can attract farmers and corporates as well as students to come and see how it operates.”

Mr Webster said a key next step in the project would be to explore the market for companies that could provide computer software and data-collection sensors and systems as part of the over-arching digitalisation of the farm.

“It’s a very important stage in the process and we hope to have that happening within the next month,” he said.

A project-control and steering group

involving representatives from partner organisations and chaired by Mr Webster is overseeing the development.

A sub-committee, working with a variety of people, including farmers and industry experts, is exploring and assessing equipment needs.

The DATA farm is part of a broader college Agriculture Technology Innovation Development – AgTIDE – program, which attracted $578,000 in State Government funding, also last year.

Wimmera Southern Mallee Partnership, one of nine regional think-tank and development groups established by the State Government in 2016, identified developing ‘AgTech’ in the region a key priority.

WORLD STAGE: Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman is flanked by Visit Victoria Roadshow European organisers Claire Golding, UK and Europe Visit Victoria regional manager, left, and Continental Europe Visit Victoria marketing manager Barbara Samoilenko.

International push From page 1 Mr Sleeman said attractions such as a developing Grampians Peaks Trail would be the subject of heavy promotion in coming years and much of the effort would be in trying to increase visitors’ ‘length of stay’.

“Length of stay increases yields and subsequent economic benefits for the region,” he said.

“The international market represents more than 54,000 visitors a year and about $20-million in visitor spending in the Grampians tourism region alone.

“That’s what we’re trying to grow with a focused approach to marketing.

“Consider what it would mean in 10 years for the region if we’re successful in our goal of 10 percent growth year on year. In 10 years it means we double what we have now.

“This is an exercise of putting the Grampians, a place we know is spe-

cial, on a global map. We want the world to know how special this place is.”

Mr Sleeman said continued municipal and industry support was critical for the success of the vision.

“Grampians Tourism does this primarily for the benefit and support of the municipal shires of Ararat, Northern Grampians, Horsham and Ararat and our hundreds of industry partners,” he said.

“For me a lot of it is about supporting small businesses in regional Victoria. I personally get a sense of reward in seeing this sector grow.

“Increased visitation supports small business and that ultimately provides economic benefit to communities in and around the Grampians.”

The tour involves visits to Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Lillehammer, Glasgow, Preston-Leyland and London.

Ararat business push gains traction C

BY DEAN LAWSON

apitalising on diversity, having a dedicated district approach and always exploring ways of moving forward have emerged as key objectives of a reinvigorated business-advocate group in Ararat.

Newly elected Ararat Regional Business Association president Maria Whitford said she was excited by high levels of energy and broad representation of industry in the group.

“We have people who have joined the committee from different cross-sections of industry,” she said.

“We have people from retail and hospitality to manufacturing, from agribusiness to service provision,

from real estate and construction to tourism and marketing.

“It is large and wonderful diversity and will really complement the region’s business representation, influence and, importantly, energy.

“We’re on a mission to help stimulate the business community in a collaborative way – in other words, basically going into bat for Ararat district.”

Members elected Mrs Whitford, Ararat RSL general manager, and other officials at an annual meeting.

Harvey Norman Ararat franchisee Josh Bywater is vice-president, Westpac Bank Ararat branch manager Tony Hamann treasurer and David Jennings from Elders secretary.

Others on the committee are Jane

Goninon, Russell Pearse, Liesa Iezekil, Sarah Holland, Isabelle Fennessy, Nick Carthew, Cam Conboy and Mark Clyne.

Bigger picture

Mrs Whitford said one of the key messages manifesting from the process of rekindling a strong business representative base in Ararat district was recognising the role of the overall municipality.

“Making this work is not just about working out of Ararat itself – it is about acknowledging the role every part of the municipality plays in the overall health and vibrancy of the district,” she said.

“We will need to work on strategic planning, establish short and longterm goals while at the same time

community we are confident we will be able to put runs on the board that benefit the community.

“We have a lot of work to do but the energy in this group is electric, which is giving everyone considerable confidence. Watch this space.”

Mrs Whitford said Ararat Rural City Council, in appointing an officer to work directly with the association, had provided a profound endorsement for business to take a stronger lead in Ararat district direction.

“The council has been outstanding in providing us with the necessary leverage to reboot Ararat district’s business and industry voice in the municipality,” she said.

“It means we’re starting this new push from a very strong position.”

Market gaining momentum

FULL FORCE: Northern Grampians Highway Patrol senior constable Jason Brown with the force’s BMW M5. The highperformance vehicle is a new addition to the fleet, which Horsham Highway Patrol officers will use in coming months to combat speed, drug and alcohol-related driving offences.

Wimmera and Mallee motorists can expect to see an increase in police presence on roads as officers attempt to combat a rising state road-toll.

Following a ‘successful’ state road-policing campaign at the weekend, Horsham Highway Patrol units will be out in full force across the coming months.

Horsham Sergeant Dale McIvor said September and October were traditionally high-risk months for travellers for serious and fatal injury collisions, particularly because of sporting grand finals.

The Transport Accident Commission has recorded more than 190 deaths on Victorian roads this year, up more than 50 on the 2018 state road-toll this time last year.

Sgt McIvor said in order to combat high-risk months and a rising number of lives lost on Victorian

knowing we need to have some quick wins.

“We want to get the ball rolling and don’t want to fall into a trap of having meeting after meeting, which achieves little.

“A fundamental priority of this group is to avoid becoming complacent.

“We must have a proactive philosophical approach where we are more inclined to explore ideas and solutions instead of being reactionary to perceived problems.

“There are going to be some things we can’t fix, but in knowing that we still need a clear understanding of what we stand for and how we can achieve objectives.

“We already have some ideas on the table and with such diversity in the

roads, Horsham Highway Patrol had upgraded its fleet with additional high performance vehicles and technology.

“Horsham Highway Patrol has additional tools in its arsenal now for combating the state road toll,” he said.

“This coincides with District and Wimmera football and netball league grand finals and the state-wide Operation Scoreboard across the AFL grand-final weekend,” he said.

“All our highway patrol vehicles are equipped with the most modern technology for speed, alcohol and drug detection.

“We’re aiming at having as many units as possible on the road and having a visible police presence.”

Sgt McIvor said he was pleased with driver behaviour during Operation Argus, a state-wide blitz at the

weekend that targeted poor driver behaviour.

He warned motorists to continue to exert caution in coming months and encouraged people to take regular breaks to combat fatigue and ensure their safety on the road.

“As far as serious and fatal injury collisions, Operation Argus was regarded as a success. We had very well-behaved drivers,” he said.

“We’ll be out in force again this week with the Triple J One Night Stand in Lucindale. We expect a lot of traffic coming from Melbourne.

“Fatigue is a big issue. So, in order to combat that we ask motorists to take their time and have regular breaks. Whether it be a cup of coffee, utilising SES services when they have driver reviver stations or swapping drivers if you need to.”

Organisers behind Horsham Family Market at Horsham Scout Hall in Baillie Street hope to lock in the event for the third Sunday in every month.

The market, a collaboration between market organiser Cindy Hammond and Horsham Scouts, is gathering a dedicated following, with the next one scheduled for 10am to 2pm on Sunday.

Much of the money raised from stallholder fees as well as a sausage sizzle goes to a fund to help the Scouts upgrade their hall.

Sunday’s market, following previous events in May and July, will feature more than 40 stalls.

Ms Hammond said the markets had started with a children’s-product theme but had since evolved to include a variety of vendors and products.

“This means we now have stalls with a bit of everything,” she said.

“For example, we’re going to have a book stall this time around and we have a new lady with wonderful art works. There will be a lot of craft and artisans and speciality and homemade food.

“We’ll have a jumping castle and

face painter and as well as the sausage sizzle there will be coffee, ice-cream and take-home food packs as well.”

Ms Hammond said the hope was to make the market, also scheduled for October 20, November 17 and with a Twilight Christmas Fair on December 13, an ongoing event.

“We’ve committed to the Scouts and they’ve committed to us and we’re keen to promote it as a nice intimate and friendly market that is in town and within walking distance for many,” she said.

“We encourage people to come along and support us as well as the many local artisans who have also jumped on board.”

Saturday Scout market

Meanwhile, Horsham Scouts will host its annual market under the grandstand at Horsham Showground on Saturday.

Visitors can expect a wide range of stalls, Scout demonstrations, a sausage sizzle, raffle and more.

Entry to this market is by gold coin, with all money raised going directly to the 4th Horsham Scouts group.

Commissioner in Stawell, Ararat Victorian Small Business Commissioner Judy O’Connell was in Stawell last night and Ararat today to hear about issues confronting regional businesses.

Commissioner O’Connell delivered her presentation at events organised

by Northern Grampians Shire Council and Stawellbiz group and Ararat Rural City Council.

Commissioner O’Connell said issues affecting small businesses in regional

areas were often different to issues confronting businesses in Melbourne.

She said she had been keen to hear about the issues affecting small business owners and operators in Northern Grampians and Ararat municipalities and talk about ways to help.

“It’s great to be visiting the region, which was one of the first in Victoria to have their local council sign up to our Small Business Friendly Council initiative,” she said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Ring Road

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Kim Guerrero lights up the stage as part of Stawell Performing Arts Company’s ‘Best of the Worst’ concert at Stawell Town Hall at the weekend. She was among regional performers and singers showcasing 20 musical threatre songs about ‘villains’.

SIR, – ‘Hear hear’ to The Weekly Advertiser editorial August 28 on the need for a ring road for Horsham.

The pedestrian crossing across McPherson Street is a ticking time bomb.

Not only adjacent to a primary school it is also an important pedestrian and gopher link from the CBD to the hospital.

Worse still McPherson Street is actually three highways between Baillie Street and Wilson Street, – the Western, Henty and Wimmera highways.

A speed-limited southwest link as suggested by the editor would enable Wimmera Highway traffic to connect with the Western Highway without travelling through the middle of town, as well as work as a temporary truck bypass for the Western Highway.

This is desperately needed, as anyone who has seen trucks going straight through the red light at the Baillie Street-McPherson Street intersection will attest to.

These massive vehicles just keep rolling through after the lights have changed.

Even if you have the green light on the other side of the intersection you are not about to take them on.

A northwest link from O’Connor’s corner to the Henty Highway north of town would complete a ring road and enable traffic on all three highways to move freely without going through town.

Having completed the ring road you then get to work on the full-on four-lane 110kmh freeway bypass via ‘Option 2’ Dooen to Wail – and all the massive business opportunities that would bring to Dooen, Horsham and the entire region by putting three highways and the rail-freight hub in close proximity to each other.

How many other cities in Victoria

have a chance to do something like this?

Do we as a community have the wherewithal to take this on?

Or will we be like Ballarat and have a major highway like the Midland Highway from Geelong to Castlemaine running right through the middle of town?

Russell McKenzie Haven

Flaw in the plan

SIR, – Before construction of Horsham Aquatic Centre I warned Horsham Rural City Council of a flaw I found in the geotechnical report prepared by a large Melbourne geotechnical company.

The council chose to ignore my warning and when the first pier was drilled my warning was found to be well founded, resulting in a huge increase in costs when the number of piers under the building had to be doubled.

I expressed a similar warning for the piers on Horsham’s Anzac footbridge, which were realised when failed attempts were made to bore the first pier, again resulting in costly delays and a redesign of the pier installation method.

In February 2018 I wrote to newspapers with a message expressing serious concerns about the siting of a multi-purpose sports complex near Horsham Basketball Stadium due to deep-seated soil-moisture variations over the site.

I had discussions with a senior council officer who took my concerns seriously and the project seemed to have died. It has now re-appeared as part of a City to River Master Plan.

At a meeting with council chief executive Sunil Bhalla we discussed this issue of soil-moisture problems.

Mr Bhalla said he felt the problems

A tough balancing act

K

nowing how best to establish an education platform and direction that equips society to deal with opportunities and pitfalls of everyday life must be one of the hardest assignments for any government.

So much is at stake. Get it completely right and everyone’s a winner. Get it completely wrong and the impact can cripple a country. Get it somewhere in between and it’s probably the norm.

Education platforms represent a balancing act in finding the best possible formulas to exploit the potential of the majority while promoting appropriate pathways and support for both high and low achievers.

One of the great dangers in establishing any targeted direction in education, where providing more attention to a specific field of study than another, presents a danger of potentially ‘throwing the baby out with the bath water’.

We assume our national and state education leaders have their heads well and truly around this obvious observation.

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson

push is all about supporting, promoting and making sure our next generations excel at science, technology, engineering and mathematics – collectively known as STEM. STEM seems to have almost become a catch-cry of contemporary education literature.

Pushing our youngest and brightest in this broad direction makes a lot of sense for all sorts of reasons.

It stands to reason that if we want to be a smart nation full of smart people we need to be able to kick all sorts of goals in the science and technology department – it’s logical and something we whole-heartedly support.

But education direction must be based on an unblinkered approach and involve

clear recognition that we, in understanding about what makes us human, can’t afford to throw other important fields of study onto the sacrificial pyre.

Sure, we have to draw a line in the sand about what subjects are the most important in the classroom. Often this comes down to something as simple as finding a future job.

But we still have to communicate well, reflect on history to gain general knowledge, understand law, business and people and how teams work, be fit and healthy and be able to let emotional expression off the leash.

It is no coincidence that throughout the centuries the most successful and technologically advanced of cultures emerged amid a backdrop where the arts as well as science flourished.

In truth, many cultures considered and still consider science and art one and the same.

Again, we support the national push for Australia to become a STEM benchmark instead of an also-ran – but not at the expense of other areas of learning.

could be managed and suggested one method this could be achieved.

This suggestion clearly indicated the council does not have an understanding of the deep-seated nature of the soil-moisture variations over this site nor other sporting sites proposed for major changes.

The soil-moisture problem can be experienced by driving on uneven Wimmera roads. If the soil problem could be managed, VicRoads would have been able to do so by now.

It appears history is about to repeat itself, only on a monumental scale this time if you take into account similar problems in Horsham Showground and with plans to rotate Horsham City Oval.

These projects will most likely proceed unchanged unless the community expresses views in large numbers that it wants these concerns taken seriously.

It seems the council is determined to go ahead with these plans at any cost.

I strongly recommend the council explore the option of locating all these sporting facilities in a purpose-created area to the northwest of Horsham where soil-moisture problems do not exist to the same degree.

I firmly agree with Mr Bhalla on the need to revitalise the City to River precinct and also the need to attract professional people to Horsham. But many parts of this proposal do not support those goals.

My submission to the council contains many positive ideas on using these areas to create a family-friendly city.

Leigh Davies Horsham Editor’s note: Mr Davies is a Horsham engineer who has been involved in many large-scale projects in the city, mainly involving the district’s volatile soils.

New film links river and health W

immera people have joined forces with Australian marathon swimmer and healthy waterways advocate Tammy Van Wisse to put the spotlight on how river conditions effect community wellbeing.

Wimmera Catchment Management Authority has released a short-film, ‘Waterways for Life – healthy rivers, healthy communities’.

The film, highlighting the benefits of a healthy Wimmera River, is also a record of how communities have bounced back after the ‘millennium drought’.

Dimboola’s Amanda Ingeme said morale during the drought from the late 1990s to 2009, where many sections of the Wimmera River dried out, was ‘terrible’.

“The river is a very social place, where people gather,” she said.

“Barbecues, people just cruising on the river in their boats and fishing, that was all gone. The animal life was gone. It was just a very sad time for the township of Dimboola.”

Ms Ingeme said communities could now tell a different story following the completion of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline and the return of water to the river system after the 2009 and 2010 floods.

“That’s the thing about the river, when we have events, the whole town comes to support it,” she said.

Wimmera River Improvement Committee chairman Gary Aitken said with today’s busy lifestyles, people needed to slow down and take advantage of the river.

“It’s just a wonderful place to be, for the

mindfulness of it all. It’s a place where people can come and recharge their batteries,” he said.

Wimmera River parkrun Horsham convener Andrew Sostheim also championed the river’s value to regional communities, describing it as ‘the jewel in Horsham’s crown’.

“We’re very lucky to have the water here, with the environmental flows, and we appreciate the role the Wimmera Catchment Management Authority plays in keeping our river healthy,” he said.

“It’s fantastic to see tourists and everyone come together for the fishing comp weekend, and for the community to get behind the event with the volunteers.”

Horsham Fishing Competition committee member Debbie Breuer and Stawell Angling Club president Ray Howard also feature in the short film.

Mr Howard said environmental water for the rivers was very important for fish life and boosting recreational options.

“It gets more people fishing and this is good for the wellbeing of your populations,” he said.

“Even if you don’t get a fish, it is just good to get out there.

“If you have these environmental flows going through and producing healthy fishing, it’s stress-free recreation.”

People can watch ‘Waterways for Life – healthy rivers, healthy communities’ online at Wimmera Catchment Management Authority’s Facebook page, www.facebook. com/WimmeraCMA/videos.

‘Rising star’ recognised A Horsham netballer and proud Wotjobaluk woman has become the 2019 recipient of a Rising Star award for her leadership and contributions in the Indigenous community.

Bianca Lauricella, 18, won the award at the 23rd Ricci Marks Awards ceremony at Melbourne Museum.

The awards acknowledge the individual achievements and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 16 to 25 in training, education, arts, sports, culture and community leadership.

Ms Lauricella’s nan, Hazel McDonald, said the award was recognition of her granddaughter’s community involvement and endeavour to create difference in the representation and future of her Indigenous community.

“Not many people with intellectual disabilities get nominated for these awards or think they are good enough,” Ms McDonald said.

“Bianca is one of the future leaders for her people and has grown into a deadly Koorie woman.

“She wants to make a difference for Koorie people to go forward in sport and help change things.

Fuel-reduction plan to meet threat

L

and managers are gearing up to start a spring planned-burning program across the Wimmera in response to the threat of an approaching bushfire season.

Forest Fire Management Victoria is busy preparing the program in an effort to reduce the impact of bushfires.

Forest Fire Management Victoria district manager Glenn Rudolph said controlled burns, in reducing the amount of fuel in the landscape, were designed to reduce the intensity of bushfires.

“It makes it more likely that firefighters can contain bushfires before they spread and impact on people, property and the environment,” he said.

“We take a whole-of-system approach to fuel reduction that builds on our management of threatened and vulnerable species.

“It involves the development of ecological models and measures of ecosystem resilience under different fire regimes.”

Mr Rudolph said fuel-reduction work involved planned burns, slashing and mowing and creating and maintaining fuel breaks.

“These techniques are applied to predetermined areas under specific environmental conditions to achieve a desired outcome,” he said.

“We expect some opportunities to become available in the Wimmera within the next week as we head into spring, with milder weather allowing

us to target areas that are too wet in winter, and before things get too hot and dry as we head into summer.”

Mr Rudolph said Forest Fire Management Victoria, in partnership with other land-management and emergency-service agencies, was aiming to complete several important planned burns across the Wimmera this season, including within the Grampians and Little Desert national parks, and around key centres such as Stawell and Ararat.

“When planned burns are undertaken, communities might see and smell smoke, and some roads and forest areas might have to be closed for public safety,” he said.

“There are only limited opportunities where conditions are suitable to

undertake these important burns, so it is vital that we take advantage of every opportunity available to complete them.

“These opportunities might occur during the school holidays, public holidays and over weekends.”

Mr Rudolph said people could find out latest information about when planned burns are happening by visiting website ffm.vic.gov.au/planned burn, downloading a VicEmergency app or by calling a VicEmergency hotline –1800 226 226.

He said callers who were deaf, hard of hearing or had a speech-communication impairment could contact the VicEmergency Hotline via a National Relay Service on 1800 555 677.

Secondary students from across the Wimmera and southern Mallee have had a chance to see digital agriculture in action as part of a statewide Digital Innovation Festival.

More than 100 students from Kaniva, Rainbow, Balmoral, Birchip, Charlton and Stawell took part in a tour and activities at Grains Innovation Park in Horsham.

During the event the students had an opportunity to gain insight in cutting-edge technology the agricultural scientific community was using and pursuing in the industry.

The students visited the Australian Grains Genebank, home to more than 300,000 crop varieties from around the world and heard from Agriculture Victoria’s plant phenomics team on how unmanned aerial vehicles such as drones were being used to collect data and speed up

The State Government announced the aircraft fleet would include a mix of water-bombing aircraft, air-supervision and intelligence-gathering aircraft.

The fleet includes two air tankers, which can carry up to 15,000 litres of water, foam or retardant, and two 7500-litre aircranes, which provide essential support to other aircraft across the state.

It also includes specialist night-time aircraft, which can be involved in firebombing and intelligence operations after dark, when conditions are suitable.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Uniting rethinking disability support C

BY LOTTE REITER

ommunity-service agency Uniting Wimmera will cease operations at its Grahams Bridge Road site from November 1 as it transitions to a ‘new era’ of disability support.

The Grahams Bridge Road site, formerly Karkana Support Services, provides supported employment for 29 people in roles of vegetable processing and gardening.

Uniting Wimmera chief executive Josh Koenig said after the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, NDIS, the agency was reviewing its support for people with disabilities.

Part of this review was acknowledging that the Grahams Bridge Road site was ‘no longer fit for purpose’.

Mr Koenig said while the supported services had been valuable, they had failed to ‘take the next step’ in an advancing era of disability care.

This meant the organisation would cease site operation from November 1.

“The site opened in 1979 and Unit-

ing Wimmera took over in 2009. In that decade, while it has had purpose, it hasn’t taken the next step,” Mr Koenig said.

“It also comes back to the financial implications. This is not an off-thecuff decision. We’ve looked at ways to make it more viable, but it is not in today’s landscape of the world and concept of disability services.

“We’re in consultation at the moment and working with families involved on transition plans.

“The support we’ll offer to them going forward is open to whatever support is required – it’s an individual journey for each family. But we’re committed to supporting our people, and we mean that when we say it.”

Mr Koenig said following the announcement the service would terminate, many people had questioned what would happen to the site.

He said the organisation had prioritised supporting people through this transitionary phase and would look to work with community stakeholders and leaders to determine the site’s best use moving forward.

Josh Koenig “A lot of people have been asking in the past week what is going to be done with the site itself,” he said.

“At the moment, the Grahams Bridge Road site is not a priority, the people are the priority.

“Down the track though, the site will come into question, and we’ll be figuring out what the best fit for the site will be for the community.

“It’s going to remain in community hands.”

Mr Koenig said closing the Graham’s Bridge Road site was part of a larger remodelling of Uniting Wimmera’s support services.

He said the introduction of NDIS represented a revolution in the way people with a disability accessed services.

He said Uniting Wimmera would explore fresh ways to collaborate with other groups and individuals to understand how to best support people in this new context and continue to improve care and service access.

“We believe supporting people with a disability in Horsham, and the Wimmera region more broadly, needs the whole community to come together,” he said.

“We want to understand what people with a disability and their families are looking for in the NDIS era.

“People with a disability should have easy access to services that increase their independence and provide fulfilling employment opportunities.

“There should be no barriers, and as a community we should be doing our very best to ensure that everyone

has the same opportunities. We’ll be consulting people with a disability, their families and carers and the community more widely to understand the needs and aspirations of people with a disability in this new context.”

Mr Koenig said Uniting Wimmera would also move its focus to building its group-support services, particularly at its Baillie Street building.

“Over time, we’ve reviewed all our historical disability and mental-health services and refined a lot of them,” he said.

“We’re building our programs with a group focus.

“We recently converted one of our larger meeting rooms into a specific space to support people with mentalhealth issues to come together.

“We’re trying to be innovative and build on our group work and community inclusion.”

Mitropoulos’ miracle marathon

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

W

immera residents with a close eye on the Western Highway during the past week might have seen something unique – a walking miracle.

By all rights Terry Mitropoulos should be dead, or at the very least in a wheelchair.

Instead, the Melbourne man is in the midst of a mammoth 768-kilometre walk from Adelaide to Melbourne to raise money for mental health charities.

While the prospect of walking an average of about 20 kilometres a day for 42 days might seem daunting to most, Mr Mitropoulos is no stranger to adversity.

Nine years ago, the father of two was diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent 13 brain surgeries, eventually requiring a mechanical valve and two shunts to regulate his brain fluid.

While in hospital he contracted an antibiotic-resistant ‘superbug’ and was on 72 different medications to help fight the infection.

Given a five percent chance of living, Mr Mitropoulos turned to an experimental drug from overseas.

It halted the infection but damaged his central nervous system; he suffered a stroke, was rendered paraplegic and could not see or hear.

Mr Mitropoulos said he emerged from the experience physically and emotionally shattered.

“I had very little life left,” he said.

“I was in hospital for four years, I was wheelchair-bound, I was a vegetable in bed, and I was told I would never walk again.

“It’s really hard to interpret what I experienced, but I knew there was more in me.”

Mr Mitropoulos was determined to regain some semblance of his old life.

He assembled a team of physio, remedial and occupational therapists, a personal trainer and even an acupuncturist to help him do what doctors said was impossible – walk again.

“The team I put together were people who knew what they were doing and, more importantly, believed in me,” he said.

“They said, ‘this guy really wants to better himself, let’s help him’.

“They helped me overcome the impossible and make it possible.

“When you’re working together, anything is possible.”

The idea of working together to overcome all odds resonates strongly with Mr Mitropoulos.

After struggling with his mental health during his ordeal in hospital, he was inspired to help others with their own mental health battles.

This year he decided to undertake his huge walk in support of the Black Dog Institute and the YMCA Open Doors program, with a target of raising $200,000.

“I know the mental health problems are growing. Having lived with it myself, I’m an example of that,” he said.

“It’s not about how you overcome it; it’s about how you live with it.

“I thought, ‘let’s walk from Adelaide to Melbourne and really show everyone that when we are working together, look what we can achieve’.

Mr Mitropoulos’ journey, known as ‘Walk and Shine’ started in Adelaide on August 17.

THUMBS UP: Terry Mitropoulos is overwhelmed by the encouragement he has received during his 768-kilometre journey from Adelaide to Melbourne, supporting Black Dog Institue and YMCA Open Doors.

He crossed the border into Victoria on Tuesday last week and has stopped in Kaniva, Nhill, Gerang, Wail, Horsham and Dadswells Bridge so far on his way through the Wimmera.

In the next four days he will continue on to Deep Lead, Stawell and Ararat.

Mr Mitropoulos said the encouragement and support he had received from people along the way was staggering.

“It’s remarkable the support that I’ve had,” he said.

“I am finding it a little bit overwhelming, in a good way.

“People who are driving by have stopped and pulled over and introduced themselves.”

Mr Mitropoulos said he had never done a walk of this magnitude before but was feeling good and thoroughly enjoying the experience.

“The reason I’m having fun is be-

cause of the support crew I have,” he said.

“We sing and we listen to music down the highway and share our jokes and stories with each other.

“Having that, it allows you to remove your thoughts from only walking.

“You really haven’t got time to think about what you’re doing other than entertaining yourself and others.

“This literally would not have been possible without them.”

Mr Mitropoulos admitted he was unsure how he would feel when he reached Melbourne, which he plans to do on September 27.

But regardless of what happens, he said he would continue to enjoy life and try to help others do the same by supporting mental health charities.

“This for me is the beginning of something new that I’m going to fulfil year in and year out – making sure that support is out there for people with mental health issues.

“There are people out there who we can provide some sort of service for that they require.

“It’s absolutely extraordinary knowing that we as a whole are able to have an impact in someone’s life.

“I don’t think there’s anything much more rewarding than knowing we have had that impact on others.”

Bling it on Sale

UP TO DATE: Dr Yakep Angue and Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation chair Graeme Hardman with a new colposcope.

Cancer-screening boost for centre

A

donation from Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation will help medical professionals in the region identify abnormalities than can lead to cervical cancers.

The foundation has donated a $20,000 colposcope to Wimmera Medical Centre.

Obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Yakep Angue said the colposcope would provide better detection and earlier diagnosis opportunities of pre-cancer abnormalities on the cervix.

“It will increase the chance of finding abnormal cells if they are present,” he said.

“The new machine is clearer, which makes spotting abnormalities a lot easier.”

Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation chair Graeme Hardman said the colposcope a medical centre team was using was due for replacement.

“The machine was 24-years old and had broken

down three times in the last year, which took several weeks to fix, resulting in many appointments being cancelled,” he said.

“A new machine was definitely required and will improve the screening process which is vitally important in the detection of cervical cancer.

“The Wimmera has very high rates of cancer and the donation follows on from the donations to Wimmera Cancer Centre.”

The foundation raises money through donations, bequests and fundraising.

It invests the donations and only the income earned through investments is used to fund special projects at both the Horsham and Dimboola campuses.

“The foundation is happy to donate the funds for this piece of equipment. It will help people be treated more effectively,” Mr Hardman said.

Government promise to students Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is confident an $82.8-million education funding boost will address a disparity between regional and metropolitan schools and better support country students.

Mr Andrews and Education Minister James Merlino announced the funding package, designed to support recommendations from an expert advisory panel into rural and regional students, last week.

The package includes $45.2-million to address teacher-supply issues outside Melbourne by attracting teachers and school leaders to state schools in rural and regional Victoria and supporting them to stay.

More than $37-million will go to a range of projects to improve educational outcomes for rural and regional students.

This includes – • $13.2-million to enable rural and regional students to attend Victorian Certificate of Education revision lectures in Melbourne – saving students up to $1000 on registration, travel and accommodation costs.

• $7.8-million to expand professional development for teachers and leaders in rural and regional areas.

Wednesday, September 11, 2019

• $5.1-million to support rural and regional schools to work in clusters to strengthen curriculum delivery.

• $3.7-million for outreach and virtual programs – such as the John Monash Science School Rural Exchange Program – for regional and rural schools.

• $3.7-million to abolish enrolment fees for Virtual School Victoria for all Victorian students, saving about 4400 parents $160 for the cost of their children accessing virtual learning.

• $2.5-million to increase access to mentoring, role models and information about post-school pathways • $1.4-million for Victoria’s Tech Schools to host and offer science, technology, engineering and mathematics, STEM, programs for regional and rural students.

“We’re closing the gap between the country and the city – ensuring rural and regional schools have the people, facilities and funding they need to give every child a great education,” Mr Andrews said.

“Rural and regional schools can struggle to attract teachers and give kids access to opportunities they deserve – that’s what this funding will fix.”

Car dealers giving back Cancer patients will benefit from the first bout of donations from a new fundraising project by Horsham and Stawell Toyota and Kia. The Wimmera car dealers have created Car for a Cause, a project that generates monetary support for charities and organisations by putting aside a portion of profits.

In the past six months, the businesses generated $12,000 to split equally between Wimmera Health Care Group and Stawell Regional Health.

Horsham and Stawell Toyota and Kia general manager Debbie Hart said the dealers wanted to donate the first round of

“Everybody is affected by cancer in some way,” she said.

Dealer principal Adrian Galvin said Car for a Cause would be ongoing and culminate in a bi-annual contribution to charities and organisations in an effort to ‘do more for the community’.

He said a portion of every car sold and financed, serviced, along with every part sold, would go towards the fundraiser.

Waking up the world W

BY PETER MILLER

hen Sandra Cowan contracted chronic fatigue syndrome, the medical world was still asleep to the illness.

The Warracknabeal woman has started a support group for people who suffer from the complicated disorder and related illnesses.

Sandra has been living everyday with chronic fatigue syndrome since 1991.

She wants to be able to support others who might be feeling the same disconnection that she deals with daily.

Sadly and yet surprisingly, there are enough sufferers in the Warracknabeal community alone to form a support group.

In 1991, Sandra was keeping busy as a realty custodian and gardener who enjoyed playing guitar and singing during her recreational time.

Not long after recovering from a bout of chicken pox, she became aware of increased lethargy. Despite this, she maintained her active lifestyle which included regular long walks.

Sandra said it was during one of these walks that her life changed forever.

“I had walked to the park and when I got there, I felt so exhausted that I couldn’t get home again,” she said.

“I had no idea what was wrong with me but it was a frightening feeling.”

Sandra told her doctor that she was constantly experiencing an overwhelming

feeling of exhaustion and nauseousness.

She was diagnosed with having anxiety though she was quite sure that wasn’t the case.

Her quest to find out what was actually wrong led Sandra to a naturopath who eventually made the accurate diagnosis.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is described as a complicated disorder characterised by extreme fatigue that cannot be explained by any underlying medical condition.

Sandra’s illness has changed her life significantly, but she has learned to live with and accept the condition.

“You never know how much energy you’re going to have each day and you can’t exercise your way back to good health,” she said.

“If you overdo it with physical or mental activity, you will only end up more fatigued, but resting doesn’t make you any better either.”

Lack of empathy

Sandra said one of the most difficult aspects of the illness was a genuine lack of empathy from others.

“You hear people saying that ‘a lot of it is in the mind’ or that ‘people with the illness are just naturally lazy’,” she said.

“It’s really hard to digest such comments and that’s why I believe the support group is so important.

“You start to disbelieve yourself about how you feel because everyone else disbelieves it.

Weekly Wool Market

“The only people who totally understand how you’re feeling is a fellow sufferer.”

Sandra said mutual support from fellow sufferers had helped her significantly.

“Mutual support is invaluable so you can talk to others and share what symptoms you might have in common and a few suggestions on how you cope,” she said.

“I’m also appreciative that our GPs have a genuine acceptance and better understanding of the condition these days.”

Sandra finds a source of therapy in poetry. She has written poems about her condition and some have been published nationally.

• The cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is still unknown and there is no cure.

Symptoms can include constant, debilitating fatigue or lethargy, muscle and joint pain, headaches, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, cognitive problems, low immunity, post-exertional malaise, sleep difficulty and depression or anxiety due to the symptoms and the inability to lead a normal life.

Warracknabeal’s Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic Encephamyelitis and Fibromyalgia Support Group meets at 1pm on the first Tuesday of each month at Rural Northwest Health’s campus. Carer’s friends and family members are also welcome to attend the informal gatherings.

People seeking more information on the support group can call Sandra on 5398 1970.

The Australian wool market has shown signs of recovery after a month of severe losses. Exporters reported that they were making sales close to the current market, finally giving the market a solid level. Sellers have been reluctant to put their wool on the market, pushing the national quantity down to 21,694 bales. This reluctance was highlighted in the Fremantle region, where 29% of the offering was withdrawn prior to sale, reducing the offering to 3,036 bales. This made it the smallest Fremantle sale since AWEX records began (1995). The first day of selling saw further losses, on the back of these falls the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) fell by 32 cents.

However, in the Fremantle region during the last hour of selling, there was a noticeable change in the room, as fierce competition started to push prices back in a positive direction. This positive buyer sentiment carried on into the Eastern centres on the second selling day, so much so that prices finally started to increase. The individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) generally rose by 30 to 40 cents, pushing the EMI up by 22 cents. This meant the EMI lost only 10 cents for the series, closing at 1,365 cents. Worth noting, when viewed in USD term, the EMI recorded an increase of 9 usc for the week. The carding market showed growth for the series, a limited supply came under strong buyer demand, pushing prices up by 10 to 30 cents, this was reflected in the three carding indicators which rose by an average of 15 cents. The crossbreds generally recorded positive movement, 26.0 to 28.0 rose by 5 to 10 cents. Next week’s national offering is still relatively small, as sellers are still waiting for the market to recover. Currently, there is 27,923 bales rostered for sale in Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.

Blue Ribbon on fundraising track B

BY LOTTE REITER

lue Ribbon Foundation Horsham branch is en route to seal a $100,000-donation goal for Wimmera cancer patients with its annual ‘Woolworth’s Month’ fundraiser.

The foundation branch, in recognition of the contribution and sacrifice of Victorian police officers, is partnering with Woolworths Horsham during September to run barbecue and bake sale events.

The month-long fundraiser, which officially kicked off on Saturday, will contribute to a growing three-year donation to Wimmera Cancer Centre.

President Geoff Lord said Horsham branch had been raising money across the Wimmera for about 12 years, with Woolworths participating in its fundraising effort for about five years.

He said committee fundraising and community support had helped raise money for regional-health care groups, hospitals and facility equipment.

“The Horsham branch has a longstanding relationship with Woolworths, helping to raise money that goes directly towards Wimmera

FUNDRAISERS: From left, Woolworths Horsham manager Annette Eldridge, Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham Branch president Geoff Lord and secretary Kelly Schilling, and Woolworths Horsham manager Danny Hamerston get their tongs ready for a Blue Ribbon Foundation barbecue and bake sale fundraiser during September.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Health Care Group,” he said. “We set a target to raise $100,000 across the past three years for Wimmera Cancer Centre, and we’re on our way to achieving that.

“This month, Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham branch committee will run a number of barbecues and bake sale events at Woolworths to help us

reach that goal.” Woolworths Horsham manager Danny Hamerston said the biggest fundraising event of the month would be a combined barbecue and bake sale on September 21.

He said it was great that people were always willing to participate in and donate to the fundraiser, which was likely because they knew all money

raised would be distributed back into their community.

“We raised just under $2000 in the lead up to September, so we’ve got a bit of a head start, and every dollar raised stays here,” he said.

“I think that’s the biggest thing for the community, they know it’s going to stay in the area.”

Blue Ribbon Day, which celebrates police officers’ service and protection of their community and commemorates officers killed while on duty, will be on September 29.

Wimmera Superintendent Paul Margetts said because the annual commemoration coincided with the 2019 Australian Football League grand final this year, Horsham would move its service to October 1.

He said many Wimmera police members would be recipients of divisional-level commendations and medals for long-standing conduct and service with Victoria Police on the day.

“We have members who are in excess of 35 years, some who are up towards 40 years of service,” he said.

“It’s an outstanding effort and they are great contributors to our community.”

The next Blue Ribbon Foundation fundraiser at Woolworths Horsham will be from 9.30am on Saturday.

The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are major sponsors of Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham.

Most people can choose to own life insurance themselves or to hold this insurance in their superannuation fund.

But it’s not a simple decision – the way these policies operate and are taxed can vary depending on whether they are held inside or outside super.

A key benefit of having life insurance within your super fund is that the premiums are deducted from your super account, rather than your personal account.

The disadvantage is that it can reduce the amount of money you have available in retirement.

In some circumstances, the super fund can claim a tax deduction for the cost of the premiums. So it’s tax efficient because the premiums are effectively paid with pre-tax money.

However, it’s important to realise that not every superannuation fund offers every type of life insurance cover.

Few super funds offer trauma cover because they cannot claim a tax deduction for these premiums.

It might not be possible to get the amount of cover that you need, and the terms are sometimes less comprehensive than a policy owned directly.

Another disadvantage is that it is not always possible to immediately withdraw the money from your super fund.

This is because superannuation is designed as a retirement savings vehicle subject to a strict set of rules controlling access.

As a result, a beneficiary must satisfy a condition of release as defined in the legislation before receiving any lump sum payment from a Total and Permanent Disability policy held within a super fund.

Anyone can own or be a beneficiary of a life-insurance policy owned directly, but the options are narrower for policies held in super because the person must be considered a beneficiary under the super and might end up paying tax on the payout.

Another option is to take out cover both through super and directly, and in fact, this combination might sometimes offer the best solution.

To find out what would work best in your circumstances, talk to a licensed financial adviser.

ART IN THE GRAMPIANS: Grampians Brushes program co-ordinator Marion Matthews at Halls Gap. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Grampians prove a magnet for artists M

ore than 500 artists from across Australia are participating in an annual Grampians Brushes workshop program in Halls Gap.

Tutors are leading participants, from beginners to advanced level, in a range of subjects including watercolours, oils, pastels, mixed media, drawing and printmaking.

The event started on Saturday and continues until tomorrow.

Marion Matthews, program co-ordinator for the last decade, said it was inspiring to see the diverse range of work tutors taught, to see people returning to participate in workshops annually and to see their work develop over time.

“We release the program in early February and by the end of March many workshops are already fully booked. People are enthusiastic to be part of it,” she said.

Ms Matthews said people who had visited Halls Gap during the week might have seen Tasmanian artist Deborah Brearley capturing the scenery of the Grampians and Halls Gap. “She is artist in residence at Grampians Brushes,” she said.

“Deborah was one of the first tutors at Grampians Texture and then Grampians Brushes and has been based at Halls Gap Community Hub each

Ms Matthews said the community hub also featured book seller Red Rock Books presenting art-related titles, a large range of art supplies from Senior Art Supplies, hand-dyed textiles by Fibreworks, exotic fabric and paper from Dairing, and an eclectic range of Japanese products from Tombo.

A mini twilight market was at Halls Gap’s Centenary Hall on Friday and the week also embraced a special exhibition featuring the work of lino-cut artist Vida Pearson at Kookaburra Hotel.

Ms Matthews said an encouraging aspect of Grampians Brushes was an increase of day visitors travelling to Halls Gap to make the most of attractions.

DOCUMENTED: The 22nd Wimmera Biodiversity Seminar at Rupanyup provided the ideal platform for Wimmera ecologist Steffen Schultz to launch his new book Gariwerd Colours – Plants of the Grampians. The book, three years in the making, features more than 600 plant species documented with colour photographs. Mr Schultz said he wanted to show off the beauty of the Grampians, which regardless of seasons, always had something on show. People keen to get hold of a copy of the book can email steffen@ grampiansflora.com or visit Red Rock Books and Gallery in Horsham.

A

s members of Victoria Police we perform a critical role in emergency response and enforcement.

However our work in engaging with all of our communities is also vital and in today’s column we are focusing on the role of our Proactive Policing Unit.

This unit has a broad connection with the Wimmera community.

Horsham Police Service Area, including Horsham, Hindmarsh, West Wimmera and Northern Grampians service area has a team of proactive policing officers.

As the name implies, proactive applies to officers who are part of a team that provides a proactive or crimeprevention approach in their duties.

The team is made up of a sergeant and a team of five officers.

The officers are usually referred to as proactive policing officers and each has a responsibility to a particular crime-prevention portfolio.

The team’s manager, Acting Senior Sergeant Simon Grant, also holds the position of Agricultural Liaison Officer.

This is very important given our rural location and the necessity to educate farmers around keeping their properties safe and guarding against

FUN AT THE ‘G’: From left, Koby Willmore, Clayton Brown, Max Rohrsheim from Horsham West-Haven Primary School and front, Landon Gilbert, Horsham Primary School on a Lachie’s Legacy police trip to Melbourne. theft, be it theft of stock or diesel fuel or other farming equipment.

One of our members holds the portfolio for firearms safety – this of course links with the agricultural portfolio.

The operational staff working in the unit might hold a specialist position or a proactive portfolio.

There is a Youth Specialist Officer who has a significant role in working with young offenders who might be causing a high degree of harm in their communities. There is also a Youth

Resource Officer who provides a proactive response, particularly in school settings.

All members of the team, regardless of their title, work together to provide a proactive response within the community.

This is to assist in providing an interventionist approach to potentially ward off serious offending, while ensuring that people are less likely to become victims of crime.

The role is entirely varied – one day might involve a member addressing

a kindergarten group on the role of police in the community.

Another day might involve an address to licensed-premises staff on what to do in the event of an armed hold-up.

In June this year a district kindergarten was lucky to have a very special visit from the Police Dog Squad.

This provided the children with a unique opportunity to interact with police labrador Kevin.

Further, the visit enabled the children to identify the Victoria Police

uniform and encouraged them that at a time when they might need help, that uniformed police were approachable and are part of a group of people who help in their community.

More recently, the team worked with Lachie’s Legacy to provide an opportunity for 32 year-six students from each of the four primary schools in Horsham to travel to the MCG in Melbourne to watch an AFL game between Brisbane and Richmond. It was a lot of fun.

Lachie’s Legacy, in honour of Lachie Poulter who tragically died of a heart attack while playing football for Dunnstown, provides opportunities for young people to be involved in football.

The team’s crime-prevention role features the running of local operations such as Safe Plate days in partnership with local hardware businesses, with assistance from community volunteers.

These operations involve the fitting of ‘one-way’ screws to vehicle number plates to decrease the theft of number plates, which in turn can flow on to a reduction in petrol-station drive-offs.

While we’re speaking about vehicles, the warmer weather in September and October also brings a rise in thefts from motor vehicles.

It is acknowledged that the responsibility for these thefts lies with the offender but members of the public can take action.

This includes never storing items of value such as wallets, electronics, phones and loose change in your car.

Always make sure you lock your vehicle no matter where it’s parked.

Police join national ride

BY LOTTE REITER

W

immera Superintendent Paul Margetts and Acting Senior Sergeant Simon Grant will be among hundreds of motorbike enthusiasts embarking on a memorial ride on Friday.

The 10th anniversary Wall to Wall Ride to Remember is an annual event that honours the memory of fallen police officers and raises money for police charity organisations.

Starting at 8am from the Victoria Police Memorial Site in Melbourne, riders will travel to Canberra to assemble with policing members from across Australia at the National Police Memorial on Saturday.

Mr Margetts said the ride was an emotional trip for all participating riders and policing members.

He said this year’s event would be particularly difficult because it marked one year since Senior Sergeant Vic Kostiuk’s death, an officer who died on the ride last year.

“For me, it’s a really emotional journey where I get the opportunity, while I’m on the ride, to think about colleagues who have lost their lives at work, and also think about their families who I know quite well,” he said.

“This year will be especially emotional.

“It will be the first anniversary of the death of Senior Sergeant Vic Kostiuk who died on the ride last year, so we plan to stop along

Route expands Victoria’s farming peak body has welcomed a VicRoads extension to the state’s drought road-train network.

The network, which includes much of the northern Wimmera and Mallee, now includes the Calder Highway.

Victorian Farmers Federation Grains Group president Ashley Fraser said the VFF and its members had been calling for measures to make it easier for hay and fodder to reach drought-affected farmers.

“VicRoads should be congratulated for listening and acting quickly,” he said.

“This network extension will have a positive impact on those transporting feed and on farmers in urgent need of supplies. Given the ongoing dry conditions, facilitating the efficient movement of hay and grain to drought-affected farmers is critical.

“We look forward to continuing to work with VicRoads to further increase access for high-productivity freight vehicles and improve the efficient movement of food and fibre.”

Farmers will now be able to apply for a permit to transport hay and feed to drought-affected areas in New South Wales and Queensland on road trains along the Calder Highway from Charlton to Mildura. This builds on the road train network on Borung and Henty highways.

Probing for microbes MEMORY: Wimmera Superintendent Paul Margetts, pictured, is preparing to join Acting Senior Sergeant Simon Grant and hundreds of Victorian motorbike enthusiasts on a ride from Melbourne to Canberra on Friday and Saturday. The campaign is part of a 10th anniversary ‘Wall to Wall Ride to Remember’ national charity event, which honours police officers killed in the line of duty and raises money for police charity organisations. the way on Friday and have a memorial service on the side of the road.”

As part of the event, a police legatee will escort a hand-made baton transporting the names of fallen police members.

Mr Margetts said these names would be recorded on the National Police Memorial wall at the end of the ride.

“We escort a baton from Vic-

toria and that happens in every jurisdiction,” he said.

“It’s so important for the families to continue the memory of their loved one. The baton is carried by a police legatee, last year that was Abbi Scherger, one of the children of a police member.

“It’s quite a proud moment for all of us to escort that family member and the baton all the way to Canberra, and for their name

to be added to the wall – very unfortunately. It really is a very emotional trip for all of us.”

Mr Margetts said Victoria Police Legacy, a charity supporting the families of officers killed in the line of duty, would be one of the key recipients of fundraising money.

He encouraged anyone interested in donating to do so online at www.walltowallride.com.

Soil microbes will be among topics discussed at a handson Agriculture Victoria workshop at Winiam in the west Wimmera on Monday.

Agriculture Victoria senior principal research scientist Pauline Mele, who specialises in soil biology, will lead a presentation and soil-pit inspection for growers and advisers at Winiam Hall.

Workshop participants will gain a greater understanding of the complex microbial communities that support farming systems, and management plans to preserve and promote them.

The event is free of charge and starts at 10.30am with morning tea, followed by a presentation at 11am.

Participants will then move to a nearby farm to view a soil pit before returning to the hall at 1.30pm for lunch.

The event precedes the Wimmera Hay Days forum at Winiam, which starts at 2pm on the same day.

New group, lots happening wimmera-mallee

women with Rene Vivian, CWA

I

t is great to hear that Kaniva has a newly reformed Country Women’s Association branch, an afternoon group of 10 young working mums.

The group is meeting on the second Monday of each month, from 4.45pm to 5.45pm, at the communal room in Kaniva College.

Interestingly, nearly all have either pre-school or primary school children.

In September this group will be making items for Kaniva Show, where they hope to have a stall.

In October they will provide spring garden hints and tips as part of adopting a garden bed at the Kaniva community gardens.

Growing summer vegetables, they will share details with school students through the Stephanie Alexander kitchen garden scheme, having a class where they all come together to cook with the produce and the students.

A cake-decorating masterclass with this group is also on the cards.

Plans are afoot for a West Wimmera Group to organise a date in spring for a get together at the Horsham Botanic Gardens.

The idea is to present the event at a rose garden area, where the CWA of Victoria, Friendship rose, celebrating the 90th birthday of Victorian CWA, has been planted.

In other news, it’s also great to hear

A foretaste was the West Wimmera Group Craft Exhibition in Horsham last week.

There is also a Central Wimmera Group craft day at Warracknabeal Fire Brigade hall on September 16.

This is always a fun way of learning new skills.

As part of an enterprising fundraiser through CWA Victoria, a colourful and informative calendar, ‘Silo Art of Victoria, 2020’ will be sold.

The calendar would be a great Christmas gift. I have mine to forward to my Kiwi pen pal.

Beulah branch has taken the initiative of selling the calendars as a fundraising idea, with a dollar from

the sale of each calendar going into the area where the calendar was purchased.

Silos from Rosebery, Warrnambool, Fyansford and Rochester, through to Goorambat, to name just a few, feature in the calendar.

I attended both West Wimmera and Central Wimmera group conferences and found much can be learned from these days.

Both groups featured excellent guest speakers, who were able to give us a wonderful insight into their individual roles within their communities.

U3A Ararat will take people on a walk down memory lane next month with a fashion parade showcasing vintage, classic and rare outfits of the past.

‘Threads’ will be at Ararat Town Hall on October 9, starting at 2pm and exhibiting about 60 garments modelled by Marian College students.

The parade will also include a display of the Lady Grimwade Collection from Ararat Gallery’s permanent collection and an afternoon tea.

U3A Ararat president Pat McAloon said the group offered more than 150 mature age people a variety of learning courses such as philosophy, meditation, craft and cooking.

He said he was delighted with the concept of Threads because it allowed members to use their skills and create an exhibit for their community.

“Threads is providing scope for members with planning, networking, organisational and artistic skills to bring together a great display,” he said.

“Some of the outfits and leisure wear were worn when we were young, and some from our grandmother’s and even our great grandmother’s eras.”

People can book $20 tickets, including afternoon tea, at www.trybooking.com or by calling Anne on 0431 133 863.

Network meeting A Project Platypus Landcare network annual meeting on Friday night will include guest speakers Ross Cayley and Ben Hughes.

Longerenong set for 130th milestone P

reparations for 130th anniversary celebrations at Longerenong College are in full swing, with the college set to open its doors to the public on October 5 and 6.

To celebrate 130 years of ‘education, training, tradition and pride’, celebration organisers have invited anyone with links to the historic institution – students, staff members, families who lived on campus, teachers and students of the primary school which closed in the late 1980s and anyone else with ties – to attend.

A highlight of the celebrations will be a Saturday night gala dinner at Wimmera Events Centre on October 6.

College alumni anniversary co-ordinator Jenny Blakeley said the celebration was an opportunity to look back and commemorate the resilience of the past while showcasing the present and being inspired by future ambitions.

“Longerenong College has produced many outstanding graduates,” she said.

“From those who have gone on to become well-known leaders of businesses, farming bodies, as well as politicians and even elite sports people, right through to others who implemented their skills and knowledge on their own family farms – achieving a strong and successful legacy to leave for future generations.”

When Samuel Clemens, writing as celebrated American author Mark Twain, visited the college in 1895, he noted, ‘there were 40 pupils there – a few of them farmers relearning their

trade, the rest young men mainly from the cities – novices’.

More than 120 years later, the college now has more than 100 full-time students, many of whom are from metropolitan centres and more than half are female.

The college also has more than 40 apprentices as well as part-time students who are studying either on-campus or online and more than 140 VET in School students who attend the

college as part of weekly secondary studies.

Mrs Blakeley said the college peaked in 1969 with 31 residential houses on the campus.

“Their occupants totalled between 120 and 130, including about 20 children in the primary school and about 17 teaching staff,” she said.

“Although most of the houses have been removed, and only a few staff now reside on campus, Longerenong

College itself continues to thrive. Major renovations have taken place, new buildings have been erected, dormitories are full, enrolments are booming and there are exciting plans for a future expansion of accommodation facilities.

“That’s not bad for an institution that many thought was near closure when Melbourne University severed ties with us in 2006.”

Mrs Blakeley said the college had

“Although most of the houses have been removed, and only a few staff now reside on campus, Longerenong College itself continues to thrive”

– Jenny Blakeley

sought to invite as many people as possible from its alumni database and the response had been overwhelming.

“There are people coming from all over Australia as well as some from overseas,” she said.

“One gentleman travelling from New Zealand has booked every hotel, plane and bus required to arrive on the Friday before the event.

“He’s part of the 1960s era, which has been instrumental in encouraging us to have the celebrations.

“Some participants are making a long weekend of it and have organised buses from Melbourne, booked out motels and have the bus driver at their disposal.

“They’ve been sending weekly emails sharing stories and photos, and they are super keen to catch up with their mates and remember the good times.

“Due to out-of-date contact details, some people have missed out on receiving invitations so we are hoping the various year levels will spread the word so anyone who would like to come will come.”

Anyone wanting further information can call Mrs Blakeley on 0427 816 201 or look up the event online at www.longy.com.au.

State award for Landcare champion

S

tawell district Landcare pioneer John Pye has won state recognition for his work towards protecting Wimmera’s fragile upper catchment.

Mr Pye, who has been contributing to Landcare and the Wimmera community for more than 35 years, won the prestigious Individual Landcarer Award at a 2019 Victorian Landcare Awards ceremony in Government House.

His award qualifies him as a nomination for an Australian award.

Mr Pye is a celebrated ‘educator’. He was a science teacher and later head of science at Stawell Secondary College from the early 1980s through to his retirement in 2012.

Project Platypus Landcare facilitator Andrea Mitchell said as a leader in science and environmental education in the region, Mr Pye had a record of providing a significant and positive impact on young people.

“He is a pretty amazing man. The only thing he can’t do is stop,” she said.

In 2004, Mr Pye was a founding member of Stawell Urban Landcare Group and has been one of the stalwarts behind Project Platypus Landcare Network.

Project Platypus, established in 1994 to tackle conservation threats to the natural environment and regional communities, supports 11 Landcare groups across the upper Wimmera catchment Mr Pye was also a member of the Stawell Country Fire Authority from 1990-2014 and was captain for four years.

A National Emergency Medal was the result of efforts and involvement in 2009 Victorian bushfires and he was Acting Divisional Commander during 2014 Grampians-Black Range fires.

In the past two years, Mr Pye’s volunteer commitment to Project Platypus has provided inspiration to Landcare groups, individuals and connections.

Funding changes left the network without a manager and a crisis of staff and volunteer morale.

In 2017 Mr Pye stepped in as volunteer project

manager for the group – averaging 50 hours a week and contributing about $100,000 of in-kind labour.

He was determined to secure a sustainable financial position for the network, support staff and board members, improve stakeholder relationships and reinvigorate communications.

Due to his efforts a salaried project manager and new partnerships with Geoff and Helen Handbury Foundation and Ace Radio Broadcasters are now in place.

Partnerships

Mr Pye has also worked to maintain and enhance partnerships with Northern Grampians Shire and Ararat Rural City councils, Parks Victoria, Glenelg-Hopkins and Wimmera catchment management authorities, Central Victorian Biolinks, Australian Farmers Foundation, Trust for Nature, Helen Macpherson Smith Trust, Grampians Community Health, district businesses and hundreds of volunteers.

He has also been influential in the development of a new strategic plan for the network and said it was unthinkable that Project Platypus might have folded.

“The project has achieved so much – 1.1-million trees planted, more than 20,000 hectares treated for invasive plants and animals and 1200 hectares of remnant vegetation protected,” he said.

“In the 2017 planting season we worked with schools, Landcare groups, farmers and nature lovers to prepare sites, get plants in the ground and protect them despite tough, dry conditions.

“More than 300 volunteers were involved including Local Learning and Employment Network participants – young people disengaged from full-time education or employment.

“Partnering with Project Platypus gave these young people the opportunity to give back to their community through volunteering.

“They learned that they were not only planting trees, but were also protecting insects, possums, sugar gliders and other natural wildlife. That’s a project worth fighting for.”

ACCOLADES: Landcare stalwart John Pye is pictured with Victorian Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio and Victorian Governor Linda Dessau.

CELEBRATION: Horsham Rural City mayor Mark Radford, third from left, welcomes the municipality’s newest Australian citizens at a formal ceremony last week. Six people took the citizenship pledge, from left, Doungrat Kunumthip, Lintang Widyasari, Dr Prasanna Rodrigo, Mrs Priyanthi Rodrigo, Abhilasha Rodrigo, 13, and Nethmi Rodrigo, 11.

On the road All-new Hyundai Venue joins popular small-SUV segment

H

yundai Motor Company Australia has announced pricing and specification for its all-new Venue small SUV, which arrives in showrooms this month priced from $19,990 plus on-road costs.

Sitting underneath the Kona in Hyundai’s SUV line-up, the Venue will act as an effective replacement for the Accent light car, which is slowly being phased out of production, and will feature three distinct model grades.

Like other models in Hyundai’s lineup, the Venue range opens with the entry-level Go, moving up to the midspec Active and topping out with the Elite.

All Venues employ the same powertrain, a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol unit, tuned to develop 90kW-151Nm, while power is exclusively sent to the front wheels.

Go and Active variants come with the choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions, while the Elite is an auto-only affair.

Drive mode settings are featured, as is a traction mode system that helps maximise grip in sand, mud and snow.

As is the case with other Hyundai Motor Company Australia, HMCA, offerings, the Venue has undergone chassis and suspension tuning to deal with the less-than-perfect Australian road conditions.

All versions score an 8.0-inch

touchscreen infotainment system as standard, along with Apple CarPlayAndroid Auto smartphone mirroring, Bluetooth streaming and a reversing camera.

Hyundai’s Smartsense active safety suite is also standard across all models and bundles autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, driver attention warning, high-beam assist and tyre pressure monitoring.

Standard equipment in the entrylevel Go includes six airbags, 15-inch steel wheels, a four-speaker sound system, cruise control, automatic dusk-sensing headlights, daytime running lights, DRLs, and a 3.5-inch LCD multi-function display.

Stepping up to the Active adds LED

DRLs, rear parking sensors, 15-inch alloys, a six-speaker sound system, power-folding exterior mirrors with LED side repeaters, a front centre console armrest and a leather-appointed steering wheel and gear knob.

Moving up to the Elite adds extra safety equipment such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert as well as other features including 17-inch alloys, LED tail-lights, rear privacy glass, a two-tone roof and side mirrors, satellite navigation, an auto up-down driver’s power window, cloth seats with premium-finish bolsters, a front USB outlet and climate control.

Measuring 4036mm long and 1770mm wide with a 2520mm wheel-

base, the Venue is 130mm shorter and 31mm narrower than the Kona with an 81mm shorter wheelbase.

Luggage volume is pegged at 355 litres.

HMCA chief executive JW Lee said the new Venue would represent a strong-value entry point to Hyundai’s line-up.

“The new Venue is ahead of the curve, offering customers a high level of value in a practical and wellequipped compact SUV,” he said.

“As our new range-entry model, the Venue combines the rugged looks and practical benefits of an SUV and a light car, with advanced safety technology at an attractive price point.”

Nissan uncovers all-new Juke N

issan has ripped the covers off its all-new Juke small SUV, which ushers in a new turbocharged powertrain, updated styling and new technology ahead of a release in Europe starting from the end of November.

While it is not yet confirmed for release in Australia, Nissan Australia has said the Juke is a model the company is very interested in, suggesting a likely debut sometime in 2020.

The second-generation model replaces the original, which first went on sale in 2013 after a global debut in 2010, and sees the introduction of some major changes to design and technology.

Only one powertrain has been detailed for the Juke, namely a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine tuned to produce 86kW at 5250rpm and 180Nm at 1750rpm, up to 200Nm with the engine’s Over Torque function.

Two transmission options are available, including a six-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch auto with paddle-shifters and a three-stage drive mode selector.

Completing the zero-to-100kmh sprint takes a leisurely 11.1 seconds in the dual-clutch, down to 10.4s for the manual, with top speed pegged at 180kmh.

SECOND-GEN: Nissan has uncovered the all-new, second-generation Juke ahead of a likely 2020 debut.

The outputs of the new three-pot engine almost match those of the outgoing entry-level ST, whose twin-turbo 1.2-litre four-cylinder unit produced 85kW-190Nm, however they cannot match the 140kW-240Nm produced by the top-spec Ti-S and its 1.6-litre twin-turbo unit.

Nissan has not yet detailed whether more powertrain options will be on the way.

Riding on a more rigid platform with the use of high-strength steel, the new Juke rides on MacPherson-strut front suspension with a torsion-beam set-up at the rear.

Styling has been overhauled with a more prominent iteration of Nissan’s V-Motion grille complemented by the new, thin LED headlights and an aggressive front bumper.

A sloping roofline leads to an angular rear end with sharply styled taillights and a roof spoiler.

Wheel options range from 16-inch steel hoops up to 19-inch alloys, while 11 exterior colour options are available, including the exclusive Fuji Sunset.

An N-Design exterior package is also available for more extensive customisation.

The new Juke has grown externally over its predecessor, measuring 4210mm long, 1595mm tall, 1800mm wide and with a 2636mm wheelbase, while vehicle weight has been reduced by 23kg to 1212kg.

As a result of the increased dimensions, interior space has also expanded, with rear-seat knee room up 58mm, rear headroom increased by 11mm and 20 percent more luggage space, with 422 litres on offer.

The Juke’s redesigned interior is highlighted by the 8.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlayAndroid Auto smartphone mirroring,

TomTom sat-nav and live traffic updates, and in-car WiFi. Owners can also use the NissanConnect Services app for functions such as checking the door-lock status of the vehicle as well as tyre pressure and engine oil levels.

A 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster screen is available on entry-level versions, while a 7.0-inch colour screen can be had on higher-spec versions.

Soft-touch materials are included on the dashboard, door trim and footwells, while the monoform bolstered seats can be optionally trimmed in Alcantara or leather.

Audiophiles can optionally make use of an eight-speaker Bose sound system, with two speakers integrated into the front-seat headrests.

Nissan has included a range of active safety technologies on the Juke, which includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, lanekeep assist, high-beam assist, traffic sign recognition and hill-start assist.

Other safety features available on high-spec versions include adaptive cruise control, surround-view cameras, driver attention alert, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Nissan Australia can be expected to announce whether or not it will bring the Juke Down Under in the coming months.

C5 Aircross misses out on five stars

C

itroen’s new C5 Aircross mid-size SUV has tripped up on tough new Australasian New Car Assessment Program, ANCAP, rules that mark down a vehicle’s safety rating for not having a cyclist anti-collision detection system.

Even though most five-star-rated vehicles on Australian roads do not have such a system that applies the brakes when a cyclist is detected on a collision course with the vehicle, it is now part of the mandatory test procedure from the independent safety watchdog.

The C5 Aircross ended up with four stars.

By contrast, sister company Peugeot’s newer 508 large sedan – to be launched in Australia next week – has

such a cyclist detection system and sailed through the latest round of tests with five stars.

Other cars to win five-star stamps include the Mercedes-Benz B-Class and CLA-Class, and the upgraded Ford Focus.

A spokesman for Peugeot and Citroen importer Inchcape said the cyclist detection system was available in Australia for the newer 508 but not for the C5 Aircross that has been on overseas markets for up to 18 months.

“This is a new technology that is only just being rolled out,” he said.

“If it was available to us on Aircross, of course we would take it.”

Like the 508, data used by ANCAP for the C5 Aircross was taken from tests by ANCAP’s European counter-

parts, Euro NCAP, who also gave it four stars. Apart from losing a possible six points for not having cyclist detection, the C5 Aircross was also marked down for its autonomous emergency braking performance for pedestrians, receiving just 2.2 points out of six – a score regarded as marginal.

The overall score for the vulnerable road user testing came to 27.92 points out of a possible 48, or 58 percent, which was enough to cost it a fivestar assessment. By contrast, the 508 scored 71 percent.

In other test segments, the C5 Aircross fared better, awarded 87 percent for adult occupant protection, 88 percent for child occupant protection and 73 percent for safety assist.

– Ron Hammerton

FOUR STARS: Citroen’s C5 Aircross was awarded four stars after coming up short on cyclist anti-crash safety.

You were so caring and I thank you for being a nice, true, honest Christian friend – I’m going to miss your company.

From Carmel Mackin All the family are such nice people.

Thank you all and others for helping me through these bad times since Bill Mackley passed away, having those bad intruders – nothing is going to be the same anymore.

My life is ruined forever. I will and do miss Bill, John and my father who passed away August 26, 1986.

These three, good lovely men. You three can now have a good time fishing together. RIP. I will be up there to have that beer with you men soon, that is when I will be happy again.

Cheers for the Brisbane Lions and my Bulldogs.

Christian Devotions

What’s he asking?

In the Australian movie, The Castle, Steve Kerrigan was always scanning the Trading Post for a bargain. But he would always ask his father Darryl, whether the seller’s asking price was reasonable.

Whether it was four ergonomic chairs, jousting sticks, an overhead projector or even a pulpit, Steve’s query to his Dad was always replied to with the answer, “Tell him he’s dreaming!”

In Luke 14:25-26 we hear that, ‘Large crowds were travelling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: ‘If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters – yes, even their own life – such a person cannot be my disciple.’

Imagine you’re contemplating becoming Christian and you read that passage. The price seems a bit steep doesn’t it? Using the colloquialism of the movie, would it play out in your mind like this?

“What’s he asking?”, “Your own life!”, “Tell him he’s dreaming!”

I would think that’s a fair enough reaction. But if you let the things of this life rule your attitudes and actions, you will overlook the things of eternal life and you’ll have no desire to even begin to count the cost of something new (Lk 14:28-30), daring (Lk 14:31-32) and authentic (Lk 14:34-35), let alone set out with Jesus, even though the promised reward is great. For only faith in Jesus can transform your mind to accept it as a good deal. For in this transaction you will receive Christ’s purity in exchange for your shame, his innocence for your guilt, his blessedness in spite of the curses people will try to hurt you with. The cost is great, but it’s worth it.

Yanac vies for triple premierships Y

anced by a good mix of young players.

Key for the Hoops will be runner-up association best and fairest Cameron Bardell, who provides a solid presence in defence along with Marcus Williamson at centre half back.

Up forward team captain Royce Bennett and younger brother Oskar will team up with Jordan Williamson and Kevin Mills to provide scoring options.

The Alexander brothers Nathan and Todd will be crucial to the Tigers’ chances, but they will be strongly supported by Luke Reichenbach, Josh Cramer and proven finals performer Kim Croot.

No matter the circumstances of these teams meeting they always play out an intense game of hockey with rarely more than one goal between them at the end. There is no reason to believe that this game will be any different.

BY SIMON KING

anac Hockey Club’s quest for consecutive triple premierships is back on track after its Open and Women’s teams both won

their respective preliminary finals on Saturday.

They will join Yanac’s Under-16 team in Wimmera Hockey Association grand finals this weekend.

Grand finals return to Warracknabeal’s Anzac Park for the first time in six seasons.

Three top games are promised, with the top two teams in each division meeting in all three games in repeats of semi-finals played two weeks ago.

Warrack Hoops and Yanac Tigers are the leading teams in the association’s Open competition, with either or both having played in all 31 grand finals contested in the competition’s history.

They have met in 10 of 15 grand finals played since the competition resumed in 2005, and another chapter in this fierce rivalry will be written on Saturday when they play off for the 2019 premiership.

This season these teams could not be more closely matched, as head-tohead they have recorded one win each and have played one draw in three games, and they have both scored four goals against each other.

Both teams bring a wealth of final’s experience into the game which is bal-

Women

In a repeat of the past three Women’s grand finals, Dimboola Roos and Yanac will play off for the 2019 premiership in what should be another close game.

When they met two weeks ago it took full time, extra time and six penalty strokes each to separate the teams.

This next encounter could well be just as close.

With Dimboola playing in its ninth grand final in the past 10 seasons, and

ON THE RUN: Nhill Rangers’ Sam Vonarx, left, and Nathan Alexander, Yanac Tigers, race for the ball.

Picture: SIMON KING Yanac featuring in its seventh grand final in a row, both teams will bring a wealth of finals experience into this game, along with several keen younger players.

The focus will be on the midfield battle between Dimboola’s Elizabeth Klinge and 2019 best and fairest Erin Alexander, Yanac, but these two are not the only players capable of turning the game off their own stick.

The Roos team also features the season’s leading goal scorer in Adina King, the pace of Jennifer Klinge on the forward line and Brooke McMaster’s experience to the midfield, while

Yanac’s line-up includes potential match winners in Mikayla Farmers, Natalie Harding and Sophie Pipkorn.

If both teams play to their potential, this game could go into extra time if not a penalty shootout to decide the 2019 premiers.

Under-16

With Yanac Warriors going into the grand final undefeated since before their premiership win this time last year, it is difficult to see them dropping this game, but with the pressure of a final the Raiders must be in with a chance if they can settle the

nerves first. Experienced players Mikayla Farmers, Jasper Croot, Alister Dickinson and Nathan Colbert lead a settled team that also includes several younger players who despite their inexperience all play an important role in this team.

Max Goodwin will lead the Raiders as they attempt to win their first premiership since 2015 and will look for valuable assistance from Johnathan Dixon and Imogen Williams in defence and Skye Braisby and Elizabeth Dixon in attack.

This should be an entertaining game to start the day and regardless of the result some exciting young players who will form the future of the Wimmera Hockey Association will be on show.

Preliminary final results – Open: Yanac Tigers 4 (Goals, N. Alexander 2, A. Magrath, T. Alexander; Best, T. Alexander, N. Alexander, L. Reichenbach) defeated Nhill Rangers 0 (S. Bone, J. Reichelt, L. Marra).

Women: Yanac 3 (E. Alexander 3; E. Alexander, N. Harding, M. Farmers, C. Beattie) defeated Kaniva 0 (L. Stimson, S. Williams, J. Wallis, O. Williams).

Under 16: Kaniva Raiders 1 (M. Goodwin; M. Goodwin, S. Braisby, I. Williams) defeated Nhill Leopards 0 (K. Clark, T. McBride, C. Koop).

Schools battle in volleyball titles B

lack Ranges year-seven and eight volleyball titles tomorrow will see all four schools that support Volleyball Horsham’s junior competition fielding teams.

Horsham, Murtoa and Horsham’s St Brigid’s and Holy Trinity Lutheran colleges will all be represented.

Most schools will be fielding more than one team in each year level, necessitating the need to split the day over two venues.

Volleyball Horsham president David Berry said this was another prime example of why Horsham Rural City Council should get on with the job of building the multi-purpose stadium.

“With volleyball numbers on the increase and schools supporting the sport, it’s days like these that we as associations get the opportunity to showcase our sport,” he said.

“I know for a fact that schools have to double their teacher numbers for this day because of the requirement to split the competition over two venues.”

On the court, the year-seven boys competition will be close fought.

St Brigid’s College has strong players in Bailey Brennan, Jed Hermans and Charlie Heinrich, potentially setting the college up for the title.

“Murtoa College has a good group of

year-seven girls who play together in the Volleyball Horsham junior competition,” Berry said.

“With players such as Millie Fagan and Ella Van Duren involved, Murtoa will go in favorites.

“The boys year-eight competition will be a battle between Lutheran and Murtoa colleges. Both teams have players that play domestically, with Murtoa looking to Rhys Hemley, Bailey Mathrick and Will Gellatly.

“Lutheran has experienced players in Joey Nagorcka, Kaden Lanyon and Harry Robertson. The battle between Nagorcka and Mathrick will go a long way to deciding the winner.”

Berry said in the year-eight girls division, St Brigid’s has been performing consistently in domestic competition, with Rylee Hateley, Tat Nelson and Jasmine McIntyre key players.

“But Horsham College and Murtoa College will be hard to beat, with both teams filled with players who participate in the domestic competition,” he said.

“It all points to a great day of school volleyball and a glowing advertisement of how beneficial playing in our domestic competition assists schools with their development in this sport. This is something that Volleyball Horsham prides itself on.”

Van holds Vanguard in historic win Adrian van Raaphorst notched an historic double on Sunday when he won the Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club’s Fenn Family Handicap for the fourth time since 2004.

Having won the Thompson Family Handicap for the first time in June, the 594-start veteran also became the first to win the eight-kilometre ‘bookend’ events at the same venue in the one year.

“I’ve always run well in McDonald Park,” van Raaphorst said.

“I can’t really explain why I’ve won this race four times and the Thompson only once, but I do think this is the easier of the two.

“I ran the course during the week and knew where all the puddles were, so that might have helped a little, but I must have been in front for a good half of the race and that was a surprise.”

Punching his arms for momentum in his typically pugnacious style, van Raaphorst never looked likely to lose.

“I had to run as hard as I could as I fully expected Fennie, Paul Fenn, to swoop past me. I don’t think he’d have stopped just because his family sponsor the race,” he said.

Fenn, a quality runner almost 30 years younger than the winner, recorded fastest time, a scintillating 30.30 minutes in the rolling hills, but even he couldn’t overcome a

Naomi Hunter brutal handicap, giving 18 minutes start to van Raaphorst.

It was left to other ‘youngsters’ Sue Blizzard and Andrew Reynolds to fill the podium beside the winner.

The club travels to Stawell on Sunday for its penultimate race of 2019, the five-kilometre Clem Hall Memorial.

Hunter fires up

Stawell Amateur Athletic Club secretary Naomi Hunter was running on adrenalin when she scooted to a surprisingly easy win in the five kilometre Ivan McDonald Handicap at Stawell’s Big Hill on Saturday.

Hunter found herself burdened by extra duties due to the absence of club president Jess Cass, who was holidaying, and vice-presi-

dent Simon Edge, who became a father for the first time.

It had been a stressful morning, with husband David Hunter on a late call-up to mark the course, but by the time the race got underway, all that stress was converted to nervous energy and Hunter never gave the chasers a chance.

“I’d already decided to go out as hard as I could on the downhill to set up the gap I probably needed for the uphill,” she said.

“I haven’t trained as hard as I did last week so I had freshened up a bit. That helped and I also had two fun runners for company, urging me on the last hill climb, which is always the toughest part.”

Hunter’s emphatic one minute win over pre-race favourite Terry Jenkins and the ever-improving Katie Field again denied Jenkins the chance to break this season’s drought.

Very much the bridesmaid, Jenkins has not finished further back than fifth in his past dozen starts.

In the one kilometre sub-junior race at the bottom of the hill, Eva Hurley deserved her maiden win after a ding dong battle with brothers Joshua and Dale Robinson.

The club’s season finale on Saturday is the three kilometre Chris Blake Handicap which starts at 3pm on North Park athletic track.

Fun runners are welcome.

Penshurst, Great Western to battle T

BY JONATHAN BOX

he big dance has finally arrived with a much-anticipated match between Penshurst and Great Western in Mininera and District Football League.

Penshurst was the minor premier after the home-and-away season, however it was forced to make its way into the grand final with a win over Tatyoon last week after Great Western beat the Bombers in the second semi-final by four points.

The two teams only met once in the homeand-away season, with that game going Penshurst’s way by more than eight goals. However, it was the Lions who got their own back with a finals win over the Bombers to slingshot themselves straight into the ‘grannie’.

The Lions will be well rested after a week off, giving everyone a chance to rejuvenate and get over any little niggles to go into Saturday’s match at full strength.

Great Western will be tough to beat across the board, with plenty of quality footballers in every area.

Andrew Cameron, Nick Dunford and Lachie Malloy, with big ruckman Jeremy Cronin in the midfield, as well as a very strong forward line with multiple goal-scorers including Aaron McKinnis, BJ Birch-Burton and Sam Cocks, will put the side in good stead.

Steven Lorenzo has kicked 51 goals for the

season, Gerrard Cunningham has 72 of his own, and Cameron and Dunford have 77 goals between them, showing plenty of their players know where the big sticks are.

Penshurst will be no easy beat however.

They made short work of Tatyoon in last week’s preliminary final, leading at every change.

Penshurst, with Justin Eales coaching from the sidelines, came out on top by 25 points.

Eales will be a massive inclusion this week after his skill, leadership and hardness earned him the 2019 Lewis Medal at Monday night’s league presentation dinner. It is the second time the Penshurst coach has been awarded the medal, also having multiple runner-up titles next to his name.

Adding him into the line-up with Tim Barton, Josh Gunning, Campbell Watt, Nathan Rentsch, Tyler McKenry, Aaron Glare and goal-scorers Ben Hunt and Chris Eales, just to name a few, the Bombers boast plenty of onfield talent and presence of their own.

This is set to be a great game and could go either way. The game is scheduled to start at 2.15pm at Lake Bolac Recreation Reserve following a reserves match between Great Western and SMW Rovers and an under-16.5 game featuring Glenthompson-Dunkeld and Hawkesdale-Macarthur.

Good luck to all teams competing this weekend.

Proud sponsors for 30 years When the winning captain and coach of Saturday’s Horsham District football grand final are presented with the premiership cup, they will have more than just a trophy in their hands – they will have 30 years of history.

Horsham business Forty Winks has been the naming rights sponsor of the league’s most important piece of silverware for three decades, starting in 1990.

Not only that, but the business has been owned and operated by the Hayes family for that entire span, giving the league an incredible longstanding connection to one family.

It is something District league

board member Fred Mellington believes could be ‘unparalleled in Australia’.

“To have one family sponsoring the premiership cup for 30 years is incredible,” he said.

“Maybe to have one business doing it has happened, but one family? I’d like to know someone who does it better.

“The league is incredibly grateful for their support over three decades.”

Forty Winks Horsham’s Peter Hayes said his connection with the league stretched back to his father Bob, who was a player and interleague coach.

When the cup’s previous sponsor pulled out unexpectedly, Mr Hayes said his family

jumped at the opportunity. “It sounded like a good idea at the time and we just kept doing it,” he said.

“I think businesses have a commitment to supporting local groups and sporting clubs.

“If businesses support clubs and they support us, we can all help each other.”

Mr Hayes said he thoroughly enjoyed presenting the cup and had loved witnessing everything from underdog triumphs to Kalkee’s five flags in a row in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

He thanked his wife Di and Forty Winks staff members for their hard work and dedication.

Rats, Giants in prelim rematch

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

A

rarat and Southern Mallee Giants are the only teams left in the way of a perfect Wimmera Football League season by MinyipMurtoa.

The Rats and Giants will battle it out in Sunday’s preliminary final at Dimboola for the right to challenge the Burras for the flag.

Minyip-Murtoa will take a week’s rest and plenty of confidence onto the big stage after a clinical 12.10 (82) to 8.7 (55) win against the Giants during Saturday’s second semi-final at Stawell’s Central Park.

Minyip-Murtoa’s full-ground pressure – one of its biggest strengths this season – was on full display as the Giants struggled to move the ball with any fluency.

The Burras made them pay on the rebound, as Brayden Ison, Nick Kelson and Brad Inglis kicked seven goals between them. Brothers Tim and Ben McIntyre found plenty of the football and co-captain Luke Chamberlain was excellent in defence.

For the Giants, it was half backs Sam White and Sam Weddell in the thick of the action for a second straight week, but whereas the pair was able to consistently set up attacking moves in their first final against Ararat, on Saturday they were on the back foot.

Josh Webster was a lone standout up

forward with four goals, and Weddell snuck forward to kick two.

Giants coach Coleman Schache paid credit to a dominant team performance

by Minyip-Murtoa, saying his team needed to improve if it hoped to face the Burras in a grand final rematch.

“They played to their game plan really well and we couldn’t get the ball moving the way we would have liked,” he said.

“They moved the ball from one end of the ground to the other and scored pretty fluently, and we couldn’t do the same at our end.”

While the Giants overcame Ararat two weeks ago, Schache said he expected a much more competitive showing from the Rats on Sunday.

Ararat, for its part, looked sharp in a 10.7 (67) to 6.8 (44) win against Horsham Saints in windy conditions at Nhill’s Davis Park.

With midfield-forward Jack Ganley running hard to break the lines and Jake Williamson collecting the footy at will across half back, the team was able to overcome a 14-point quarter time deficit.

Cooper Heard was a handy inclusion for the Rats with three goals, as was Cody Lindsay in the ruck.

With the Saints missing number one ruckman Michael Rowe, they turned to centre half forward Angus Martin to pinch hit.

While Martin was solid, the Saints

Last week: NoradjuhaQuantong 11.12 (78) d Edenhope-Apsley 6.9 (45).

Mininera lacked his presence in the forward line as Nick Caris became their only marking target.

Caris kicked two goals and took some good contested marks, but the rest of the forward line failed to fire.

Saints coach Luke Fisher lamented a poor performance, but said his team had a bright future.

“There are heaps of young guys playing their first year of senior footy,” he said.

“I think we had four under-17 players and you wouldn’t know, because it wasn’t them dragging the chain.”

Ararat coach Shane Fisher was pleased with his side’s response to a tough loss to the Giants in the first week of finals.

He said the Rats had learned some

lessons from the encounter and were determined to put forth an improved performance on Sunday.

“In home and away you’ve got a lot of time to be able to work on things, but in finals as a coach you’re a bit concerned when you put in an ordinary one,” he said.

“I put a lot of faith in the group this week and I think they all repaid it to themselves.

“We were good against the Giants in patches, so we go into next week confident that if we play to our strengths we can beat them.

“They’re probably a little bit stronger than us, but if we can tidy up some things that we learnt last time and that we tidied up against the Saints, we give ourselves a chance.”

Saints and Burras butt heads

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

T

wo-time reigning premier Horsham Saints will butt heads with Minyip-Murtoa in a Wimmera Netball Association preliminary final showdown at Dimboola on Sunday.

The Saints looked poised to repeat their finals heroics of the past two seasons when they came from fifth place to win two flags, having notched strong wins against Warrack Eagles in an elimination final and Ararat in Sunday’s first semi-final.

The Burras, meanwhile, must regroup quickly from a devastating 30goal loss to Horsham in Saturday’s second semi-final.

The win saw the Demons advance straight to the grand final, where they await the winner of Sunday’s preliminary final.

If they play as they did on Saturday, the premiership could be theirs for the taking.

The Demons shocked the Burras with a first-quarter blitz in which they scored 21 goals, 17 of them coming from the hot hand of Emma Buwalda.

The shell-shocked Burras found themselves down by 13 goals after only a quarter and were unable to recover.

Despite the best efforts of goal keeper Taylor Mentha and goal defence Alex Lang, as well as Ellie McGrath at wing

defence, the margin continued to balloon, resulting in a 60-30 loss.

Buwalda finished the game with 45 goals but Horsham had winners all over the court.

Georgie Carberry and Romi Miller spent time alongside Buwalda in the goal ring, while Georgia Hiscock and Faith McKenzie kept dangerous Minyip-Murtoa goalie Kirby Knight to 17 made shots.

Burras coach Billie Bibby said while the loss set her team on its heels, the side had proven itself capable of rebounding quickly.

The Burras lost to Ararat in the final round of the home-and-away season before storming back to beat the Rats in finals a week later.

“I don’t think it will put a dent in our confidence,” Bibby said.

“Speaking to all of the girls after the game, they knew they didn’t play their best and they knew as a team we didn’t play our best.

“We know that we can play a lot better than we did and that’s what we’re going to focus on this weekend.”

Bibby said it was imperative her team did not give away another big start to Horsham Saints.

The Saints themselves will be looking to make some adjustments of their own after overcoming a sluggish first half to run over Ararat at the weekend.

Trailing by four goals at the long break, coach Shannon Cross opted to

PRESSURE: Horsham’s Emma Buwalda is surrounded

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

bring on towering goal defence Rene Caris, and the move yielded immediate results.

With windy conditions at Nhill wreaking havoc on goalies, Caris used her height to secure rebounds and send the ball back the Saints’ way.

At the other end her sister Maggie used her height to similar advantage, finishing the afternoon with 37 goals in a 45-36 win.

Ararat’s Racquel Scott battled hard against Saint goal attack Lavinia Fox, but Krystal Fisher simply did not have the height to counter Maggie Caris.

At the other end of the court, Horsham Saints’ Larnie Hobbs was terrific against Taylor Mason.

Cross said she had opted to integrate Rene Caris into the team slowly after

she missed most of the season with football commitments, but said she was likely to start the defender on Sunday.

“The only reason we’ve started her on the bench the past couple of games is because she hasn’t had a lot of court time with the team throughout the season,” she said.

“Coming into the next couple of games that will change.

“I don’t think Minyip-Murtoa can have too many bad games in a row, and I feel like they’re going to bounce back and be determined to knock us out.

“It’s going to be tough. Their defensive pressure is very tight, so we’ll have to take care of the ball and be short and sharp down the court and try not to throw the ball away.”

Horsham basketball star Mitch Creek has helped the Australian national team advance to the quarter finals of the FIBA World Cup undefeated.

Creek has appeared in every game for the Boomers so far and has seen increased playing time as the tournament has gone on.

His best game of the tournament came in a crucial win against France on Monday night.

Australia had already qualified for the quarter finals but needed a win to avoid an early match-up with basketball powerhouse United States.

Creek notched eight points in a two-point win, including a crucial and-one basket to put Australia up by five with just over five minutes remaining.

Then, with the game on the line and Australia leading by a single point in the final four seconds, Creek was fouled on a full-court three-point attempt after a Patty Mills steal.

Creek hit the first free throw and missed the second, then intentionally missed the third to let time expire.

The 100-98 win means Australia will avoid the US in the quarter finals and will instead play the Czech Republic at 9pm local time.

A win would put the Boomers into the semi-finals and ensure the team can do no worse than a bronze-medal playoff game.

Roos and Bombers battle for glory

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

W

hile reigning premier Harrow-Balmoral rightfully enters Saturday’s Horsham District football grand final an unbackable favourite, it must take heed of a lesson other teams have learned the hard way: never underestimate Noradjuha-Quantong.

The Bombers have been the story of the finals, continuing a strong second half of the year to earn their first grand final berth since the merger of Noradjuha and Quantong in 1997.

On Saturday they overcame their toughest test of the season – a preliminary final against Edenhope-Apsley.

Noradjuha-Quantong got a dream start when captain Dustin Cross intercepted a Saints kick out of defence and converted a set shot.

The Bombers had a 19-point lead at quarter time as Edenhope-Apsley failed to score a goal into a stiff breeze favouring the north-east end of Pimpinio Recreation Reserve.

The Saints responded in the second, two goals to Josh Clissold and another to ruckman Jak Ryan bringing the margin back to one straight kick.

With smaller midfielders Bart Nolan and Billy Finnigan finding space, Shayne Williams using the ball well across half forward and coach Chris Oliver working hard down back, Edenhope-Apsley threatened to take a

lead into half-time. But every time the Saints landed a punch, the Bombers found a counterpunch.

Goals to forward Matt Walsh, playing his first game since June, and Jye Walter kept them ahead by 12 points at half time.

The Bombers made their move in the third quarter with four goals to none to take a stranglehold on the game.

Carving up Edenhope-Apsley on the wing was Ryan Stacey, who has elevated his game in the finals.

Less heralded young players like defender Wade Francis and half forward Josh Freeman also found plenty of the ball, while ruckman Jack Vague used his mobility to combat Ryan’s bulk.

The team’s younger players were far from the only stars, however.

Byrne showed his class and clean skills every time he was near the football, Tom Cooper added grunt and toughness and Cross typically great.

With Walsh booting three goals to add another dimension to an already dangerous Bombers forward line, Noradjuha-Quantong never looked like losing. The team and its supporters let out a resounding cheer when the siren sounded to cap a masterful 11.12 (78) to 6.9 (45) victory.

Bombers coach Gareth Hose was ecstatic with the win.

“That’s an unbelievable performance by our boys for four quarters – it was unreal,” he said.

PEP TALK: NoradjuhaQuantong

coach Gareth Hose revs his players up at three-quarter time of their preliminary final win against EdenhopeApsley.

Picture: COLIN MacGILLIVRAY “The effort we brought was relentless. With the pressure we applied to them and our swarming in numbers, I was expecting it to maybe drop off at some stage, but it didn’t.

“We played right to our potential and didn’t allow Edenhope-Apsley to play the way they like to play.”

The Saints carried several sore players into the game after a physical semi-final against Harrow-Balmoral, but Oliver refused to use it as an excuse.

“They played a harder game and they deserved it,” he said. “They were a lot cleaner and a lot harder at it around the stoppages than us.”

While Noradjuha-Quantong is basking in the glow of its first grand final berth, the next challenge will be its

biggest yet. Harrow-Balmoral is gunning for back-to-back flags for the first time in its history and has not lost a match all season.

The team has stars on every line, with Ben Deutscher rucking to a star-studded midfield boasting the likes of Will Plush and Eric Guthrie, while Hamish Ellis and coach Nick Pekin will also rotate through.

Key defenders Angus Halliday and Mick Phelan will match up on Bombers Shane Oakley and Jordan Huff, while Scott Heath provides rebound.

The Roos’ forward line is the most dangerous in the game, with former AFL player Michael Close joining brother Simon and James Staude to add plenty of potency, while Pekin, Guthrie and Cody Deutscher can also

hit the scoreboard. The only meeting between the sides this season resulted in a 73-point win to the Roos, although both sides were missing key players.

Pekin said that result would count for nothing on Saturday.

“I think it will come right down to the wire,” he said.

“There is a lot more pressure riding on us than there is on them, because we’re the hunted. They’ve got quality mids in Byrne, Cooper, Stacey and Cross. We’ve got a very handy midfield too, so if we can win it out of there and give our forwards first use, that will be a good start.”

While the Roo faithful are dreaming of back-to-back flags for the first time, Pekin said simply winning was the only thing on the players’ minds.

“We’ve got to make the most of this group while we’ve got it,” he said.

“The back-to-back scenario has not been spoken about too much because I’ve never split up our reserves and senior group. A premiership for both sides is my goal.”

Hose said his players would enjoy the experience.

“It’s like we’re coming up against an all-star team in a way,” he said.

“Really there is nothing to lose for us. We’ve just got to go out there and play similar to what we did in the preliminary final and see how far that takes us.”

Netballers in grand final rematch

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

A

fter a year of waiting, Horsham District netball fans will get a grand final rematch for the ages.

Two-time defending premier Natimuk United has its sights set on an historic third flag in succession but standing in the way will be the team it vanquished in last year’s premiership decider – Laharum.

The Demons have famously been on the receiving end of some heart-stopping losses to the Ewes in recent seasons, including a five-goal loss in the 2018 grand final.

But if ever there was a golden opportunity for Laharum to dethrone the reigning premiers, this is it.

The Demons put a longstanding hoodoo to rest by defeating Natimuk United in the second semi-final, earning a week off and a spot in the grand final.

The Ewes were forced to slug it out with Harrow-Balmoral, another excellent team in its own right, in Saturday’s preliminary final.

The Ewes started slowly in blustery conditions, trailing the Roos 10-5 at quarter time.

It looked as if the team’s premiership defence might be coming to an end when coach Cheryl Sudholz left the court early in the second quarter with a balky knee, but the Ewes found a way to rally.

Jo Taylor and Casey Vanstan, playing in the defensive goal ring, used their guile, length and the tricky conditions to create numerous turnovers, which goalie Shannon Couch began converting at the other end.

Ebony Rintoule replaced Sudholz on the court and did not miss a beat at wing defence, while Danielle Fleay shifted to Sudholz’s position of goal attack.

Harrow-Balmoral goal shooter Amy Lewis converted at a high rate but simply had few opportunities as the Ewes clicked into high gear.

The team had turned a five-goal deficit into a one-goal advantage by half time and continued to roll after the break.

The Roos finally got the play back on their terms in patches of the last quarter, but it was too little, too late, as Natimuk United finished with a 37-34 win.

Harrow-Balmoral coach Ebonie Salter said her team was disappointed to lose, but praised the unflappable commitment of the Ewes.

“We probably relaxed a bit after we went into quarter time with the lead,” she said.

“Cheryl came off the court and to their credit they really lifted.

“As they always do, they kept utilising their centres. We threw away a few of ours, the momentum swung and they capitalised.”

IN FRONT: Natimuk United goal defence Jo Taylor grabs the ball ahead of HarrowBalmoral’s Samantha Crick.

Picture: COLIN MacGILLIVRAY Sudholz said she would leave no stone unturned in her effort to return in time for the grand final.

“I’m doing everything I can to try and get out there,” she said.

“The past couple of weeks I’ve been dealing with tight muscles in my calf and knee.

“It hasn’t just been this week, but I’m trying everything to get it right.”

Laharum co-coach Caitlin Story said regardless of whether Sudholz was

coaching from the court or the sidelines, the Ewes would present a formidable challenge.

“I went and watched on Saturday and when she did come off, I don’t think their team changed too much,” she said.

“I reckon the player who came on for her actually did quite a good job.

“We’ll prepare the same whether it’s her or whether it’s Danielle at wing attack, because they’re pretty similar

players, it’s just that Cheryl has a bit more experience.”

With the league’s top two goal shooters – Couch for the Ewes and Story for the Rams – at either end of the court and excellent conditions forecast, the game will likely be won and lost in the middle of the court.

Sudholz could be a big loss for the Ewes, but Rintoule proved a more than handy replacement at the weekend, while Michelle Trigg and Fleay add experience and zip.

Zandria Malone will have a big job at centre for Laharum, while wing attack Erin Mellington will be tasked with feeding the ball to Story and Maddie Iredell in goals.

Story said the biggest hurdles for her team would be mental ones.

“We’ll just focus on what’s next in the play and we don’t worry about what the umpire calls because we can’t do anything about that,” she said.

“We’ve tried really hard to work on that all season because I feel like that’s been our downfall mentally.

“We feel like it’s our turn to get it, so we’re going to give it everything we’ve got and hopefully come away with a win.”

Only time will tell who emerges victorious, but one thing is certain: spectators at Horsham City Oval on Saturday are in for a treat.

Rower Stephan Don’t be returns with gold lickin’ ya N

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

hill rower Lucy Stephan has returned to Australia with a gold medal around her neck after representing her country at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Europe.

Stephan was part of an Australian women’s four team that went undefeated at the regatta, winning gold by more than two seconds from the Netherlands.

The Australian boat also qualified for next year’s Tokyo Olympic Games with its dominant results at the championships.

Stephan, 27, is no stranger to the world stage, having represented Australia at the 2016 Rio Olympics as a member of the Australian women’s eight.

She has rowed for Australia as a member of the women’s four at the past three world championships, winning gold in 2017 and silver last year.

Stephan said the performance ranked as one of her greatest achievements.

She said while competing at her first Olympics would always be a personal highlight, the way in which Australia qualified left a slightly bitter taste in her mouth.

Australia was only given a late call-up after most of the Russian athletes were disqualified for systematic doping, giving Stephan and her team-mates limited preparation.

“The way we work is in four-year cycles and, having done one cycle and learned a lot from that, I said, ‘I don’t want to do that again’,” she said.

“To come back and win the world championships in 2017 was pretty huge.

“To win a silver medal last year was disappointing; we were there to win and didn’t achieve that.

“There were three of us in the boat returning this year and it was brought up a few times before the race. It was kind of our redemption – we were going there to win.

“In the lead-up to the Olympics it gets harder and harder. People are there to qualify their boats, so it’s definitely up there as one of the best races I’ve been involved in and one of my biggest achievements.”

Stephan is now back in Victoria for three weeks’ rest before starting pre-season training in Penrith, with national time trials in December.

She said she looked forward to taking part in the build-up to next year’s Olympics knowing Australia had already qualified.

Stephan was unsure if she would row in the four or eight-person boat in Tokyo, but said she expected to remain part of the women’s four.

“We don’t actually qualify ourselves for the Olympics, we qualify the seats for Australia,” she said.

“Then we have to go back and train and they’ll re-select the boats that they want to send.

“The crews could change a little bit – we don’t really know.

“The four requires a bit more finesse and you have to row really technically well as well as being strong, whereas in the eight you have really powerful girls in there.

“I’m probably more suited for the four, and given that I’ve been in the four for the past three years, that probably remains true.

“Hopefully I’ll be in one that wins gold.”

Best of the best I

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

t was a history-making night at Horsham District Football Netball League’s best and fairest vote count on Monday, with a threeway tie in the senior football Dellar Medal for only the second time in the league’s history.

Harrow-Balmoral coach Nick Pekin was recognised as the league’s best for a second straight season after winning the award outright in 2018, but shared the honours with Edenhope-Apsley duo Jak Ryan and Lachie Middleton this season.

It was a thrilling count for those trying desperately to tally the votes in the final few rounds, with Rupanyup’s Elliot Kelly finishing one vote back from the leaders on 18 and Jeparit-Rainbow coach Daniel Batson, Natimuk United coach Sam Anson and Harrow-Balmoral onballer Eric Guthrie tied on 17.

Swifts co-coach Scott Carey led the way for most of the count before a late-season leg injury stranded him on 16 votes and cost him a chance to add another Dellar Medal

to his first from 2017. The league has only seen one other three-way tie since the award began in 1950, with Noradjuha-Quantong’s Marcus Anson, Kalkee’s Scott Batchelor and Rupanyup’s Jarrod Wood splitting the award in 2002.

“I’m totally shocked just because of the calibre of players we’ve got,” Pekin said.

“Eric and I were both stealing votes off each other at the end. I’m very surprised, but I’m honoured and proud to be standing here alongside Jak and having ‘Middsy’, both from Edenhope-Apsley, winning it.

“But as I said last year, I’ll trade it in any day of the week because I’m all for the premiership.”

Pekin will get a chance to capture back-to-back flags to complement his Dellar medals when Harrow-Balmoral takes on Noradjuha-Quantong in Saturday’s grand final at Horsham City Oval.

Edenhope-Apsley was eliminated by the Bombers in the preliminary final but has the consolation of celebrating two league champions.

Ryan, a hulking ruckman, paid trib-

ute to the Saints’ onball division for his success.

“Middsy has been pretty good all year and made me look good,” he said.

“Without Middsy and the other onballers, I’d just be a big doofus tapping the ball out of midair.

“I couldn’t tap it to a better bloke.

He definitely works hard for it; even when getting tagged he still pushes through it.”

Ryan will depart for a coaching role with Western Border Football League club South Gambier next season, but said the Saints would always be his home club.

Middleton was absent from the count with work commitments in Geelong, but his medal and trophy were collected by his father.

A Grade

The A Grade count was also a thriller, with Kalkee goalie Jenna Bywaters fending off a strong field of competitors to win by one vote from HarrowBalmoral coach Ebonie Salter.

Laharum midcourter Zandria Malone led the field with three rounds

remaining, but best-on-court performances from Bywaters in rounds 16 and 17 were just enough for her to secure the trophy.

Malone finished tied for third with Natimuk United’s Casey Vanstan on 26, three votes behind Bywaters and two behind Salter.

Bywaters said she was thoroughly enjoying netball in her second season with the Kees, but never expected to win the award.

“I thought Ebonie would definitely win,” she said.

“It was pretty shocked. I didn’t expect to poll so well.

“I think my table was trying to keep count at the end and I was a little bit nervous.”

Bywaters said she expected most the of the team that qualified for this season’s finals to return in 2020.

“We’ve improved heaps from last year, so hopefully we can all stick together next year and go a little bit further in finals,” she said.

Other awards

Noradjuha-Quantong ruckman Jordan McDonald was in disbelief when

he won the Richie Dunlop Memorial trophy as the league’s reserves football best and fairest.

McDonald polled 20 votes to win by two from a three-way tie between Harrow-Balmoral’s Quentin Willmott, Jeparit-Rainbow’s 600-game veteran Steven Murphy and Kalkee’s Brendan Hobbs in second.

The B Grade netball award went to former Kalkee A Grade coach Melissa Beddison by one vote from EdenhopeApsley’s Edwina Hare.

The C Grade trophy went to Noradjuha-Quantong’s Porsha Jorgenson, 21 votes, ahead of Natimuk United’s Shelly Stockdale, 19, and Swifts’ Tania Crawford, 22, claimed the C Reserve trophy from Laharum’s Olivia Smith, 18.

Several other awards were presented on the night, including a distinguished service award to league chairman Graeme King, best opposition player awards to Natimuk United’s Sam Anson and Rupanyup’s Elliot Kelly, and the 2019 club championship for cumulative votes across all grades to Harrow-Balmoral.
