‘You can’t stop Seth’ A

BY SARAH SCULLY

t first glance, Horsham’s Seth RolinsWinfield is a happy-go-lucky eightyear-old boy who loves Star Wars, country music and hanging out with his mates.

But look a little closer and you will see the impact of the cruel hand he has been dealt. His mind might be sharp, but Seth’s body is failing him every day. The Horsham Primary School student has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare disease affecting about one in 3500 live male births throughout the world. Lack of the protein dystrophin causes muscles to break down, leading to progressive difficulty with walking and general mobility, and later on, affects breathing and the heart. There is no cure, although researchers are continuing to look for one. Seth’s mother Courtney Rolins knew her son was ‘different’ from an early age. Although he was diagnosed aged 4, Mrs Rolins said she suspected something was wrong long before that. “Seth didn’t walk until he was nearly two,” she said. “He could talk and he hit all his other milestones, except for walking and fine-motor skills. “It took a long time for us to work out what was wrong. I felt like I went to every doctor in the region asking for advice, but everyone kept telling me he was just delayed. I kept saying, ‘how can he be delayed when he is hitting all his milestones, except his motor skills?’. “Eventually, we got referred to a paediatrician, who noticed Seth’s large calf muscles and straight away thought of muscular dystrophy.” Seth underwent tests at the Royal Children’s Hospital, but despite her intuition telling her something was wrong, Mrs Rolins was not prepared for the results. “When they told me he had Duchenne muscular dystrophy it really was a shock, because you don’t think it’s ever going to be something bad,” she said. “Once we got the diagnosis, we researched it. I was still not really aware of what we had been told. Now that he is getting older we know a lot more about the disease and the direction it is going to take. “They say most boys with Duchenne’s don’t continue on past the age of 20. “But these days, with all the medical research, some are living beyond that stage.” Children with DMD generally lose the ability

to walk by 12 years of age and become reliant on a wheelchair. Mrs Rolins said her son’s deterioration was measured in ‘seconds’. “He has to run 10 metres with no shoes or socks on, as fast as he can,” she said. “On January 30, 2019, he ran 10 metres in seven seconds. On November 20, he ran it in 8.2 seconds. “Once he gets to about 12 seconds, the hospital will tell us he needs to use his chair full-time.”

Limitations

Mrs Rolins said Seth was aware of his limitations, yet still became upset when he could not keep up with his friends. She said if other children climbed on play equipment at a playground, Seth knew he could not join them. “If there isn’t anyone else at the playground we can help him to go up the steps, but he moves very slowly,” she said. “A lot of the time he will just move around on the ground and play. “It is so cruel. The hardest part is knowing he was born to be able to do all of these things.” Mrs Rolins said despite his condition, Seth was a happy, funloving boy. “He’s like a duck, it runs off his back like water,” she said. “He doesn’t know everything and he doesn’t want to know everything, so I feel like we are going to have more trouble as he gets older. “But Seth knows what his wheelchair is for. He knows his limitations – but you can’t stop him. He is so happy, he makes the best of everything. “Eventually his wheelchair and mobility scooter will become his legs, but I know he will make the most of it.” Seth has a powered wheelchair on the way, but as his condition progresses, he will need further assistance to move around. The Rolins family is in need of a wheelchairaccessible vehicle for two adults and four children, yet the cost is proving prohibitive. Mrs Rolins has decided to host a family fun day and trivia night next month to raise money for a new vehicle. Continued page 3

Mental health focus in fire crisis C

BY LOTTE REITER

ommunity health groups and organisations have urged people to remain conscious of their own and other’s mental health during the bushfire season.

With fires in the state’s east and New South Wales causing widespread loss and devastation, health services have put out the call for people to check in with themselves and their loved ones who could be struggling. Grampians Community Health chief executive Greg Little said national news coverage and recent hazy condi-

tions across the region could become a trigger for anxiety, stress and fear. He said this was particularly true in a region which had been known to experience significant fire threats in the past. “It doesn’t seem that long ago since we had bushfires – with the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009, Grampians bushfires in 2006 and Roses Gap bushfires in 2014,” he said. “We have a long history with bushfires, and for a lot of people it might be bringing back memories or creating some fear, especially when we look outside our windows and see smoke

in the backyard and are aware of what is happening elsewhere. “So, feelings of being anxious, stressed or short-tempered with partners or others will probably have a lot to do with that.” Mr Little said it was important, particularly for people who had or were currently experiencing the effects of bushfire and parents of young children, to be aware of their support options during a crisis. He said this included counselling services and general practitioners, as well as organisations such as Beyond Blue.

The national not-for-profit service has developed new online information about mental health and bushfires in relation to the bushfire crisis. Beyond Blue chief executive Georgie Harman said this included practical advice about dealing with the emotional impact of bushfire, information about the signs and symptoms of emotional distress, tips for supporting children and young people, and links to useful resources. Mr Little said he wished to remind people that is was okay to need help. “As Australians we’re always very good at saying ‘oh, I’m alright’,” he

said. “We’re also very good at putting other people before ourselves. “So, while you should keep an eye out for your family and friends, also keep an eye out for yourself. “And for anyone who might have been in the fires elsewhere and have returned or for people who are feeling anxious, come and see the support services of organisations in the area. “We’re all in this together.” Mr Little said people experiencing a significant mental-health issue should contact their general practitioner.

Flag outcry

GIVING THANKS: From left, Zara Scott, Asher Henwood, Klay Milner and Imogen Parish are among children at Green Leaves Early Learning Horsham to create thank-you cards for firefighters working hard to put out bushfires across the country. Centre director Stacey Faux said children in the pre-kinder room were interested in learning more about the fires and the smoke they could see in the air. “One of our educators, Natasha, is a volunteer firefighter who helped answer the children’s questions,” she said. “Some of the children asked what they could do to help and then came up with the idea of making cards for the firefighters with their own little messages. Natasha will pass the cards onto some of the firefighters.”

Fundraising day to support Seth’s journey From page 1 “Seth’s new chair will arrive on January 28, but we don’t have a way to get it anywhere. He can’t even go on the school bus because it doesn’t have wheelchair access, only steps,” Mrs Rolins said. “At the moment we have to help him in and out of the car. He struggles to step up and down because he doesn’t have the leg strength or upper-body strength to get in and out of the car by himself. “It would be so much easier for him if he could just glide in and out in his wheelchair.” Mrs Rolins said she reached out to

a few organisations for help to fund a new vehicle, but was unsuccessful. A group of friends decided to band together, creating a family fun day at 4th Horsham Scout Group headquarters in Baillie Street on February 22. The Seth’s Force Community Family Fun Day will run from 10am to 4pm and include live music, a sausage sizzle, market stalls, face-painting and a jumping castle. Entry is free with a gold coin donation for activities. Trivia With A Twist will run a trivia night at Horsham Table Tennis Association in Harriet Street from 7pm that night. Tickets cost $15 and bookings are

essential by calling Courtney on 0400 255 779.

Kernaghan’s guitar

A highlight of the evening will be the auctioning of a guitar donated by Australian country music superstar, Lee Kernaghan. “Lee is Seth’s favourite singer, so we reached out to him and he very generously donated one of his guitars,” Mrs Rolins said. “We are hoping that will generate a bit of interest, because Lee is very popular. It’s going to be a great night and hopefully we can get a good crowd along.”

Mrs Rolins said regional businesses had also donated prizes for raffles. She said she was grateful for the support, even though she found it difficult to reach out for help. “I’m the kind of person who would go without to help someone in need,” she said. “But we are not doing this for ourselves, we are doing it for our son – we wouldn’t reach out and ask for help unless we really needed it.” People can search Seth’s Force – Community Family Fun Day on Facebook for more information about the event or to register a market stall.

Beulah residents and police have condemned the flying of a Nazi flag in a yard in the Mallee town. The red and black flag has been flying over the private property for several weeks. Leading Senior Constable Shayne Riggall from Beulah police has told media police were investigating and waiting for legal advice about any offences that might have been committed. Yarriambiack Shire Council chief executive Jessie Holmes said the council was working on getting the flag removed. “We are doing everything we legally can and we are working with other agencies to get the flag removed,” she said. “We stand with the Beulah community and the flag doesn’t represent our values. Beulah is a wonderful inclusive community and this does not reflect well on our shire.”

Fatal crash A woman has died in a crash at Dadswells Bridge on Sunday afternoon. Witnesses told police a car was leaving the car park of a tourist attraction on the Western Highway about 3.20pm when it was involved in a crash with a truck. Emergency services arrived a short time later but the driver of the car, believed to be a woman in her 30s, died at the scene. The driver of the truck, who was uninjured, stopped and has spoken with police. Police are investigating the circumstances of the fatal crash. Police have called for anyone who witnessed the crash or with further information or dash cam footage to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Rockers reunite ahead of festival W

BY LOTTE REITER

hen Horsham pub-rock band U-Jorgan formed in the 1980s, lead singer Paul Christopher was only 18 years old.

In the almost 40 years since, the Horsham-born performer might have missed out on becoming the next Michael Hutchence, but his love of music has remained. In fact, many people will likely recognise him as part of the trio Acousticus Stomp, where he can regularly be seen jamming it out at community events or one of the Wimmera’s pubs. And come February, Christopher will also be bringing his passion for performing to the multi-venue weekend of music nostalgia that is set to be 60 Years of Wimmera Rock. The three-day reunion event, from February 7 to 9, will gather more than 50 bands and solo acts across venues including Horsham Town Hall’s Heritage Hall, the town hall theatre, Maydale Pavilion at Horsham Showground and Horsham Soundshell at Sawyer Park. Christopher will form part of three different acts, but it will likely be his performance with U-Jorgan that will be the most notable. Christopher said the group broke up about 20 years ago, when the band comprised himself, Rob Eales, John

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN: U-Jorgan band members Rob Eales, guitar, and Paul Christopher, lead singer, are excited to relive their rock ’n’ roll glory days when they perform at 60 Years of Wimmera Rock in February with fellow members John Cosgrove, Stephen Hadley and Tim Cramer. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Cosgrove, Stephen Hadley and Tim Cramer. He said members had moved across the state and as far as the Sunshine Coast. “Steve, who plays bass, moved up to the Sunshine Coast and Tim also went up there,” he said.

“John went to Ocean Grove near Geelong and Rob only recently shifted back to Horsham.” Christopher said 60 Years of Wimmera Rock offered them the opportunity to reunite again, as well as the chance to see some of the other faces of the Wimmera’s 1980s entertain-

ment scene. “We’ve already practised twice,” he said. “We met up recently in Geelong, so members flew all the way down from Queensland and we practised for four hours each time. “We’re older now and more refined in our music, so I reckon we sound

better. I think with anything you do you only get better the more time you put into it. “It will be good to see a lot of the old faces of the ’80s and relive a bit of that band rivalry of course.” Christopher said U-Jorgan, during its 10 years, played predominantly cover-gigs at anywhere from Horsham to Warrnambool, and regularly performed for crowds of up to 1000 people at events such as BnS balls. He said Wimmera audiences could expect at least one of the band’s originals when they take to the stage at 60 Years of Wimmera Rock. “We had three originals, and we’ll be playing one on the night, which is Animal House,” he said. “That was a so-called crowd favourite back then. I suppose we did have a big following back in the 80s, but that was also because everyone knew each other, and we had a lot of our friends coming along.” U-Jorgan will be playing in Horsham Town Hall Heritage Hall at 8.30pm on February 8. All 60 Years of Wimmera Rock events at Horsham Soundshell are free to attend, but a $10 per-day pass is required for adults at other venues. People can buy tickets online at www.60yearsofwimmerarock.com.au/ ticketing.

Kealy backs Orange Door N

ationals Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has thrown her support behind Wimmera Southern West Family Violence Partnership’s call to establish an Orange Door centre in Horsham.

Orange Doors are free services for adults, children and young people who are experiencing or have experienced family violence. The ‘one stop shop’ service is designed to make it easier for people to seek help and support earlier. The partnership, which covers 10 local government areas including Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh, West Wimmera, Horsham and Northern Grampians, was established in 2015 to provide leadership on family violence service planning and integration at a regional level. The partnership’s first major project was to research, understand and document the issues affecting family-violence service delivery, access and experience in the Wimmera and south-west. Ms Kealy said the project’s overarching finding was the relationship between family violence and rurality. She said rurality was a fundamental factor in restricting services’ ability to perform their core tasks; their capacity to meet the needs of women and children experiencing family violence, to keep them safe and to hold perpetrators to account. “The partnership’s research shows

that across the 10 local government areas represented by the partnership, there are geographic areas that have a higher incidence of family violence than the Victorian average,” Ms Kealy said. “This is leading to an increasing demand for domestic and familyviolence support services, with local service providers regularly approaching me concerned that their resources are being stretched to the limit with the increasing demand for help from Wimmera residents. “I have long advocated for a support and safety hub in Horsham and have written several times to the Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence calling for the Andrews Labor government to immediately provide funding for an Orange Door facility in Horsham. “In communities where Orange Doors are operating, local people can readily access family violence support services, giving them the support they need before a situation reaches crisis point.” Ms Kealy said an Orange Door service in Morwell had helped more than 5000 Gippsland residents. “I am proud to support the partnership in their call for the Andrews Labor government to make the funding available to establish a similar facility in Horsham to provide Wimmera residents with the support services they are entitled to and expect,” she said.

‘Long overdue’ road funding Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is celebrating a ‘long overdue’ $4.5-million upgrade of a narrow section of Dunkeld-Cavendish Road. The State Government announced last week it would widen a 7.5-kilometre section of the road, which serves as a key link between the Glenelg and Henty highways for up to 600 vehicles a day, including heavy vehicles transporting timber from logging operations. Ms Kealy said while the announcement was years overdue, it was a start and some reward for years of tireless

campaigning by local residents and road users. “Roads in western Victoria should never have to get to the shocking state of the Dunkeld-Cavendish Road before they get fixed,” she said. “While I’m concerned the funding might not be enough to repair all the potholes and crumbling edges of this dangerous road, it will go some way to addressing the safety concerns of local road users.” Acting Roads and Road Safety Minister Jacinta Allan said the major upgrade would ensure the road was safer

and equipped to handle rising levels of traffic travelling in either direction. There are sections of the road where vehicles are unable to pass each other while remaining on the sealed surface. Ms Allan said road works would start on Monday and take several months to complete. She said the upgrade was part of the Labor government’s $40-million investment in upgrading narrow roads across the state’s south-west.

A single ember can spread bushfires as far as 40km. Burning embers from bushfires can travel up to 40km, starting new fires in seconds, destroying homes and making escape impossible. If the Fire Danger Rating is ever extreme or above, don’t hesitate. Leave early.

Volunteers join fire-relief efforts W

BY LOTTE REITER

immera Red Cross volunteers are among hundreds responding to requests for critical psychological and wellbeing support for bushfire victims.

Red Cross Australia Victorian state director Sue Cunningham confirmed one Horsham resident was rostered on to help provide relief services within East Gippsland and north-east Victoria this week. This follows three Horsham and one Stawell volunteer who returned on Friday from a January 4 deployment to Mallacoota, where fires have forced about 4000 people to evacuate and take refuge at Mallacoota Beach. Horsham’s Annette Jardine was part of the Wimmera support group. She said she and other volunteers were helping provide people with psychological first-aid at Mallacoota’s emergency relief centre and on-board evacuation ship HMAS Choules, as well as take registrations for Red Cross’s ‘Register.Find.Reunite’ service. She said while her experience was ‘full on’ with heavy smoke in the air and a steady flow of registrations, it was largely unalarming for people involved owing to their patience and the work of volunteer organisations. “It wasn’t scary,” she said. “We knew what to expect because we’ve seen similar situations quite a lot, and I think the people who were most heavily affected were those who had already been evacuated by the ship that came before we arrived, which had nearly 1000 people on board.

“It is very humbling and rewarding to be able to help them and assist them, even if it is just sitting and talking with the people. Sometimes they don’t need anything but that”

– Annette Jardine

“Our ship had only 205 passengers including us, and 66 firefighters and 45 dogs. “There wasn’t a lot of emotion that we saw. Everyone was really good, from the firies and police to the Navy personnel on the ship, they couldn’t have done more for everyone.” Mrs Jardine said the four-person Wimmera support group flew into Mallacoota on a military transport aircraft, before being escorted to the town’s emergency relief centre – a gymnasium. She said this was where volunteers provided wellbeing support to affected persons, as well as where many people slept. “We slept on gym mats. But we also brought sleeping bags and pillows, so it wasn’t too bad,” she said. “There was a steady flow of registration and because there was too much smoke there were no flights running. “Then we were told we would be accompanying people onto HMAS Choules, which went to Cerberus in Hastings on the Wednesday, where people who weren’t directly picked up by family and friends were given accommodation in Melbourne.” Mrs Jardine said it was rewarding

to be able to assist people in times of crisis. “It is very humbling and rewarding to be able to help them and assist them, even if it is just sitting and talking with the people. Sometimes they don’t need anything but that,” she said. “The reason we do it is just to support the community.” Mrs Cunningham said volunteers statewide had been active in more than a dozen fire-relief centres, helping to provide psychological first-aid to more than 2500 people. She said their support was ‘absolutely critical’. “The support we are able to provide as an organisation is driven by our volunteers,” she said. “They are the absolute backbone, so we really can’t appreciate them enough for what they’re doing.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Heartfelt thanks

SIR, – Lightning strike ignited a scrub fire in the Jilpanger flora and fauna reserve at Tooan, west of Natimuk, on December 21, 2019. Burning on the north fringe of the reserve boundary, southerly winds pushed the fire through boundary fences and onto our farm property. Several local CFA brigade tanker crews attended the blaze and put in solid efforts over many hours to contain and then safely extinguish the fire, saving both property and livestock. Had the crews not responded so quickly and worked so diligently, the outcome might have been much more severe than the loss of fence lines. Some of the CFA brigades in attendance on the day included the tanker crews of Wonwondah one and two, Mitre, Toolondo, Clear Lake, Noradjuha and Natimuk. On behalf of my son Christopher, daughter-in-

law Colleen and wife Shirley, I wish to convey heartfelt thanks to these brigade members, as well as to all other brigade crews who attended not mentioned above, the Parks fire management crews and the skilled efforts of the driver in the tractor and large clay delver, who worked diligently in creating firebreaks and tracks for fire containment lines. We also wish to thank our farming neighbours, many of whom also arrived quite promptly with personal water carts and firefighting equipment to join the crews and help where ever they could. We are all incredibly grateful for the efforts of the responding firefighters and of our neighbours as well as for the wonderful job done by all in protecting our property and livestock. It was a hard-fought job, yet a job done extremely well by you all and we wish to sincerely thank you all very much. Wavell McPherson Tooan

Accreditation a team result

immera Health Care Group has gained one of its highest achievements to date after winning accreditation for acute services under new national standards.

The Wimmera’s largest health organisation was assessed against the second edition of the National Safety and Quality Health Standards. Services covered by the accreditation include dental, rehabilitation, inpatients, emergency, dialysis and oncology. The second edition addressed gaps identified in the first edition, including mental health, cognitive impairment, health literacy, end-of-life care and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. WHCG clinical risk, improvement and innovation director Sally Taylor said the accreditation was the result of a complete team performance across the organisation. “When there are new standards applied, there is always a level of uncertainty in the first year they are used for assessment,” she said. “We only received three recommendations, which makes it even more pleasing. “It was a great team effort and everybody has worked hard to implement the changes associated with the new version of the standards and this has improved the safety and quality of the care we provide.” WHCG quality manager Leanne Seipolt was also impressed with the team’s commitment. “It was not just our clinical staff but administration, laundry, kitchen and everyone in our Horsham and

HIGH STANDARDS: From left, Wimmera Health Care Group chief executive Catherine Morley, board chair Marie Aitken and clinical improvement, risk and innovation director Sally Taylor with the national accreditation certificate presented by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards. Dimboola campuses just pulled together as a team to get this outcome,” she said. Ms Seipolt said national standards assessment was to simply ensure patient safety and that everyone had the best experience possible when using WHCG services. “The assessors were on site for four days and covered all areas in that time, including clinical governance, patient safety, blood management, the patient journey, medication management and infection control,” she said. “They were very thorough. They spent about 60 percent of their time

in the wards and would turn up in different departments unannounced. “They interviewed community members, talked to patients and team members. One assessor followed a patient journey through theatre to check our policies and procedures. “It was a great experience for all the staff because the assessors spent so much time on the floor with them and they were really open and honest throughout.” The second edition of the National Safety and Quality Health Standards comprises eight standards. Clinical governance and partnering with consumer standards combine to

form the clinical governance framework for all health service organisations. They support and integrate with clinical standards, which cover specific areas of patient care. WHCG had team leads for each of the standards, helping to ensure all of the required actions were implemented. The eight standards are: Clinical governance, partnering with consumers, preventing and controlling healthcare-associated infection, medication safety, comprehensive care, communicating for safety, blood management and recognising and responding to acute deterioration.

New kinder play space St Arnaud Early Learning Centre will have a brand new play space to coincide with the launch of its State Government-funded three-year-old kinder program this year. Work on the redevelopment, which will blend existing and new play areas and provide natural spaces for kids to experience and enjoy all kinds of nature-based play experiences, started last week. St Arnaud Early Learning Centre parent fundraising committee is contributing $20,000 towards the project. The committee was also successful in receiving two shade grants for the space and contributed to planning design costs. Northern Grampians Shire Council will fund the rest of the project and has committed to use local contractors where possible to carry out the works. Northern Grampians Shire Council mayor Murray Emerson said the municipality was lucky to be included in the first six shires to offer the three-year-oldkinder program, from January 30. “This new space will complement the new three-year-old program, and council thanks the parent committee for their tireless work in making this happen,” he said. “The roll-out of funded three-year-old kinder will provide a fantastic educational base for our next generation and relieve some of the financial pressures on families when it comes to early childhood education. “Council is confident our kindergartens are well-equipped and prepared for what is shaping up to be a very popular program in the region. “Centres have set up new rooms, ordered new equipment and new qualified educators have been hired.”

Police to vote on pay deal W

BY LOTTE REITER

immera police officers will move forward following industrial action over a long-running pay dispute by ‘taking to the polls’.

Victoria Police members are expected to vote on a new enterprise bargaining agreement in the coming weeks after the State Government and The Police Association of Victoria settled on a pay deal. The vote follows more than six months of negotiations between the organisations, which sparked five days of statewide protected industrial action against police workplace issues such as understaffed stations and ‘unreasonable’ wages. Wimmera police participated in the action, which included officers writing slogans on police vehicles and flashing their lights to warn drivers of oncoming speed cameras. Horsham Inspector Di Thomson said once the two organisations reached an agreement, Victoria Police stopped the action entirely. “Because of that agreement, all protected action has been lifted,” she said. “It’s unfortunate that it had to happen in the first place, but the community was not put in any risk and police were still doing their jobs. “It was mainly administrative interruptions so the community remained safe.” Ms Thomson said police members were now able to access the proposed

“It’s unfortunate that it had to happen in the first place, but the community was not put in any risk and police were still doing their jobs” – Di Thomson

agreement in preparation for a ballot vote. “A full proposed agreement is now online for members to read,” she said. Police and Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville said the new enterprise agreement would provide police officers and protected services officers, PSOs, with annual pay increases of two percent, increased penalty rates and an extra two weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers. She said it would also provide a phased, in-salary ‘up-lift’ for sergeants and senior sergeants in recognition of their additional management responsibilities, as well as productivity reforms to ‘modernise the force and increase the ability of police to be where they’re needed, when they’re needed’. “This agreement properly rewards our dedicated Victoria Police officers and PSOs for their incredible work keeping us safe, while delivering a more flexible and responsive police force,” she said. Ms Neville said if police members agreed to the offer, it would proceed to the Fair Work Commission for formal approval.

HELP FOR HEALTH SERVICE: From left, Cellarbrations Superstore Horsham’s Dean Frew, Mukesh Bhutani and Pooja Bhutani, right, donate $5000 to Wimmera Health Care Group’s Judy Wood for Wimmera Base Hospital’s general acute ward Oxley. Ms Wood said the money would help purchase an observation monitor for use on patients who go through the ward. “We have a number of monitors and some of them are getting very old and they are to be decommissioned, so we are always on the look-out to try to find replacements,” she said. “They are also not cheap, they are very expensive, so this donation is quite fantastic.” Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Grants open to shire businesses New and existing Hindmarsh Shire businesses have the opportunity to access money to grow and support their venture as part of a business grants program. Hindmarsh Shire Council’s Business Assistance Grants Program is open for round two applications until February 14. Mayor Rob Gersch said the program started in 2016 as a way to develop the municipality’s business sector by providing established business with support and new business

start-up funding. He said this had previously seen businesses successfully apply for assistance with staff training, website development, signs, marketing and shopfront improvements. The program is split into two categories – ‘business development’, which includes support such as home-business expansion and mentoring, and ‘streetscapes’, which is open to existing businesses to improve the exterior of their building. Cr Gersch said council recommend-

ed businesses that had never applied or had been unsuccessful in previous years consider applying for funding, provided they met the eligibility criteria. “Council staff will be happy to assist businesses with any queries they might have prior to submitting an application,” he said. Grant application forms are available on Hindmarsh Shire Council’s website www.hindmarsh.vic.gov.au for download or online completion.

Numbers skyrocket V

BY LOTTE REITER

isitor numbers have peaked at Horsham Aquatic Centre following the re-opening of its outdoor war memorial pool.

The new-look pool underwent a $1.5-million redevelopment last year, which saw upgrades to water depth, filtration and accessibility. After the pool re-opened last month, centre visitor numbers have skyrocketed to their highest in recent years. Horsham Aquatic Centre manager Sam Winter said there were just under 1600 visits across December, compared with an average of 1200. She said while these 1600 visits included people using any of the centre’s facilities, the majority of that stemmed from outdoor pool

use, which she said was thanks to the upgrade and good summer weather. “The outdoor pool is ridiculously busy, it’s been amazing,” she said. “The redevelopments have made the pool more inviting. “It looks nice and fresh and blue, and there’s lush green grass and shade sails out there now thanks to Horsham Sharks.” Ms Winter said the outdoor pool’s new access-ramp was also a welcome addition for customers. “The access ramp is being used a lot by families, particularly with children who might not be as confident going into the water,” she said. “It used to be just two or three steps and then you were right into the water but now it’s good to see people being able to walk up

and down the ramp.” As summer continues the spotlight is set to remain on Horsham War Memorial Swimming Pool. Ms Winter said the centre would continue using the pool across the month for activities as part of its 2020 summer school-holiday program. She said preparations were underway for the centre’s annual Australia Day Pool Party on January 27 from noon to 3pm. She said event admission was $7, including pool access and food, which would help raise money for YMCA’s Open Doors program that provides people in need with full or subsidised access to YMCA programs and services. “There is definitely heaps of action happening at the moment,” she said.

Park work starts

CALL FOR CRAFT PEOPLE: Horsham nurse Nicole Miller with hand-made pouches she has sewn for animals injured in bushfires. Mrs Miller, with Horsham’s Cecelia McDonald, has started a Facebook page to help people create their own pouches and generate more donations for affected areas. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Sewing for injured wildlife A

BY LOTTE REITER

desire to help bushfire-affected wildlife has driven two Horsham women to combine their skills and form a Wimmerabased crafting community dedicated to creating animal pouches, blankets and beds.

Horsham nurse Nicole Miller and Bank of Melbourne Horsham branch’s Cecelia McDonald are sewing items to assist animal rescuers care for injured and young marsupials such as kangaroos and possums. Their efforts form part of a growing community of people across Australia who are knitting, crocheting and sewing the shelter items as part of Animal Rescue Collective and Animal Rescue Craft Guild. And the pair is hoping to encourage other Wimmera people to pull out their sewing kit or needles and join the campaign. Mrs Miller said she and Mrs McDonald created a Facebook page called Horsham Crafting for Bushfire Animals after realising they had both started to make items at home. She said she hoped the page might provide inspiration and information for people in the area to pursue their own sewing or crafting projects. “I think it’s that need of wanting to do something to help,” she said. “And you can see there is a need – they’re talking something like billions of animals. “That’s not just going to be this week, it’s going to be months moving forward with the lack of food and the environments that have been affected. “So, we thought collectively in Horsham, if we all work together and if we can sew a couple of things each, we could send up some big boxes. “And we thought having it all on the one site

“I think it’s really empowering for the kids to be able to have a little project and mail it off and feel like they are helping”

with the guild’s information about what things people should make and the patterns they can use would also be so much easier.” Mrs Miller said the pair had also set up a dropoff point at Bank of Melbourne Horsham branch where people could donate both items they had made or materials for someone else to create the items. She said materials included good-quality and clean old flannelette sheets, cotton and bamboo sheets, pillowcases and blankets. “Anyone who can donate materials or help out in any way will be appreciated,” she said. “We don’t want people to buy any fabrics though. Look at upcycling and asking friends and family for donations. “People should also remember that it isn’t show sewing. They don’t need to worry about matching colours or anything like that, so even beginners can give it a go.” Mrs Miller said any sewing, knitting or crocheting could also be a great school holiday project for children, particularly for those who might be watching the national news and wanting to help. “There are a lot of kids sewing a lot of the very simple marsupial pouches at the moment,” she said. “I think it’s really empowering for the kids to be able to have a little project and mail it off and feel like they are helping.”

Construction of a multi-million-dollar club room development for Stawell’s North Park will be underway this month, with project leaders expecting the upgrades to be completed by December. Northern Grampians Shire Council mayor Murray Emerson said residents of houses surrounding the park would have started to receive flyers detailing key construction information. Cr Emerson said project leaders had looked to minimise the impact of the development for park users and nearby residents. He said the council had taken into consideration feedback from Stawell Recreation Advisory Group and community members regarding site work parameters, site access, parking and time restrictions on project operations. “2020 is shaping up to be a great year for sport in the Northern Grampians Shire,” Cr Emerson said. “With these new clubrooms beginning to be constructed, the Great Victorian Bike Ride returning to the Grampians, and our local clubs gearing up for another great year, it’s a golden era of sport for our residents.” BLR Provincial Construction Pty Ltd won the construction contract and has worked with council staff to establish a project timeline. Upgrades to North Park will include construction of multi-sport, female-friendly and unisex change rooms, as well as other public amenities and social spaces to promote further participation in sports and activities that operate out of the park.

Land Rover debuts new connectivity and safety tech

and Rover has stepped up its connectivity game with the new Defender at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, debuting a new dualmodem, dual-eSIM system for its Pivi Pro infotainment set up.

Jaguar Land Rover director of connected car and future technology Peter Virk said the new Defender has the digital capacity to keep customers connected, updated and entertained at all times anywhere in the world. “You could liken the design to a brain, with each half enjoying its own connection for unrivalled and uninterrupted service,” he said. “Like the brain, one side of the system looks after logical functions, like SOTA, while the other takes care of more creative tasks.” According to Land Rover engineers, the new system will relegate in-dealer software updates to a thing of the past by the end of next year as the number of updatable modules grows from the current 16 to more than 45. Extra features of the new Pivi Pro system include being able to con-

Powered by two Qualcomm Snapdragon 820Am Automotive Platforms, the system has been designed to enhance the Defender’s connectivity and infotainment functionality by dedicating one of the modules solely to managing Jaguar Land Rover’s SoftwareOver-The-Air, SOTA, updates while the other handles the regular infotainment tasks like streaming music. Land Rover says the result is seamless software updates with no interruptions to music streaming or other app functions.

nect two mobile devices via Bluetooth to the car at the same time while LTE connectivity allows the system to jump between networks and maintain maximum connectivity, minimising reception black spots. Away from the entertainment side of Pivi Pro and sitting squarely in the ‘info’ part of the word infotainment is the new Blackberry QNX operating system which, among other things, powers the latest-generation TFT interactive driver display. Drivers can configure the display to show either vehicle instrumentation, navigation instructions and mapping information or a combination of the two. To smooth over the ease of use, the QNX Hypervisor consolidates more systems onto fewer ECUs, something Land Rover says will be an integral

part of its next-generation vehicle architectures. Built on-top of the hypervisor is also a domain controller responsible for consolidating a number of advanced driver assistance systems and driver convenience functions built around the hypervisor. Safety features and the relating technology are always hot topics at Consumer Electronics Show and 2020 was no different for Land Rover, showing off its latest advanced driver assistance systems developed in collaboration with Bosch. A new 3D surround-view camera system takes the top step as the biggest development in this area, which uses four wide-angle cameras – each with 190-degree field of view – and 14 ultrasonic sensors to provide the

driver with a unique view of the vehicle’s immediate perimeter. In tight off-road environments or carparks, drivers are able to use the infotainment screen to pan around the perimeter of the car and check for obstacles and their proximity. Advanced new blind spot assist has also been developed with the help of Bosch, which has been working with Land Rover for more than a decade. Back on the entertainment front, Land Rover has become the first carmaker to use CloudCar’s latest cloudbased services platform which includes a QR function to recognise the driver’s ‘digital life’ and add the relevant streaming or other app accounts such as Spotify, TuneIn and Deezer to the infotainment system. – Callum Hunter

Mitsubishi facelifts Pajero Sport kit ow entering its sixth year of production, Mitsubishi’s facelifted Pajero Sport has hit Aussie showrooms, bringing with it a few spec upgrades and price increases when comparing retail prices, the biggest being $2700.

The entry level GLX now retails for an extra $500 at $46,990 plus on-road costs, but Mitsubishi has taken the bold step of offering a launch price of $45,990 driveaway for private buyers. Prices for the mid-range five and seven seater GLS models have each risen by $1500, now $51,490 and $52,490 plus on-road costs respectively, while the aforementioned $2700 increase is for the top spec Exceed, now asking $57,190 plus on-road costs. Mitsubishi product strategy division chief product specialist Yoshiki Masuda said a lot of thought went into evolving the Pajero Sport for 2020. “We decided that in addition to refreshing the overall design we would give particular attention to up-rating its advanced equipment specification and its convenience and utility performance,” he said. “We wanted to deliver the kind of useful and comfort functions that would meet the diverse needs of as many customers as possible.” On the outside, the 2020 facelift has brought the Pajero Sport more into line with the Japanese brand’s ASX

small SUV and the closely related Triton, with Mitsubishi having lifted the bonnet line, revamped the headlights and included more sculptured chrome inserts in an evolution of its latest ‘Dynamic Shield’ front design concept. At the back of the car, the rear light clusters have been updated to feature more LEDs and have had a redesign to shift the brakelights further away from the tail-lights in a bid to reduce

any confusion between the two while driving. The 2020 model should offer a little more capability off-road, thanks to the side steps being mounted higher up and therefore improving ground clearance. Inside brings a sea of small changes designed at enhancing the sense of luxury, including a new 8.0-inch colour LCD screen with Mitsubishi’s Smartphone-link Display Audio, –

Also new to the Exceed is the latest version of Mitsubishi’s Remote-Control app from which the driver can operate a range of features including the power tailgate and car park beacon. The system also notifies owners if they forgot to turn off any auxiliaries such as the headlamps, position lamps or hazard lights as well as if they left any doors or windows open. Information such as average fuel consumption, predicted cruising range, eco-drive score and fuel consumption history can also be accessed via the app. Safety has also been improved, with the 2020 Pajero Sport retaining its predecessor’s five-star safety rating and brings with it a new radar-based blind spot monitoring system which replaces the old ultrasonic setup – a new lane change assist and rear cross-traffic alert system also use the same radar. Mechanically, the same 2.4-litre turbo diesel four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic transmission has been carried over unchanged, still producing 133kW of power and 430Nm of torque. Suspension and braking duties have been left as is with double wishbones up front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear and discs all-round. Two new colours have been added, white diamond and graphite grey, taking the number of choices to seven. – Callum Hunter

Making up the Difference in Families.

There was a man named Joseph; a favourite of his Father, he was hated by his jealous brothers who decided to kill him. One of the brothers wanted to avoid this and he was sold into slavery and ended up in Egypt. Betrayed by his brothers, he was later betrayed by another, ending up in prison although he was innocent of the charge. Finally he was released from prison and his gift of interpreting dreams made him an advisor to the King of Egypt. Filled with wisdom, he guided Egypt to prepare for famine that would come. Years later, he was faced with his brothers, who came for food but didn’t recognise him. Instead of being bitter or angry, Joseph decided to love like he’d never been hurt, and so saved his family and the world. Jentezen Franklin, who writes of this attitude in life, says “Forgiveness is not an emotion – it is a thought.” An action. Jesus showed love like he’d never been hurt, when on the cross, he said about his persecutors, “Father, forgive them; they don’t know what they are doing.” When we have fractured relationships – when we don’t seen children, grandchildren, siblings, parents; where there is unresolved conflict, we can live and act like we’ve never been hurt; by forgiving each other, we can make up the differences and so change our lives and change the world.

Lady Hornets fight for finals berth H

BY SARAH SCULLY

orsham Lady Hornets will look to pull out all the stops at the weekend as they face two crucial matches that will determine their fate in the 2019-20 Country Basketball League season.

The Lady Hornets are sitting sixth out of seven teams on the south-west conference ladder, but the intensely close competition means a finals berth is still in reach. Coach Tony Sleep said his charges would be raring to go come Saturday night, with the Hornets hosting Geelong United at Horsham Basketball Stadium. “The competition is that tight that anyone in the top six could be a chance,” he said. “I’m sure the CBL is very happy to have such a tight competition, but it certainly leaves us coaches with a few headaches.” Sleep said his side needed to win both Saturday night’s clash with fourth-placed Geelong and Sunday’s encounter with bottom side Colac in order to qualify for post-season action. “On Saturday night we need to win by 10 or more points, because of our head-to-head differential with Geelong,” he said. “On Sunday, while they are on the bottom of the ladder, Colac was quite competitive in the first half against us last time, so we will need to play well. “Ideally we would like to win both games by as much as we can.” Sleep said the Lady Hornets had enjoyed a strong season ahead of the Christmas-New Year break, despite dropping a couple of close games. He said if the Hornets could secure a finals spot they had as much chance of progressing as any other side. “We would love the Horsham community to get behind us, particularly on Saturday night,” he said. “Having a big home crowd makes a difference and we’d love to see everyone get down to the Hornets nest.” Sleep said young gun Grace Manserra and veteran Rebecca McIntyre were unavailable on Satur-

day night due to representative basketball commitments, but he hoped they would take to the Horsham court on Sunday. Sleep said he would look to Caitlin Dumesny and Faith McKenzie to continue their solid seasons, although any player on his team was capable of stepping up on the day. “We get between eight and 10 points out of four or five players most weeks, so we don’t just rely on one or two players,” he said. “Georgia Hiscock is capable of a big game, Liv Jones was shooting really well at a very good percentage before the break and youngster Imogen Worthy gave us some really crucial minutes in a bad game against Mt Gambier. “She really got herself going, which for a 14-year-old in open women’s competition, shows plenty of positive signs.” The Lady Hornets will host Geelong United at 5pm on Saturday and Colac Kookas at noon on Sunday.

Men’s competition

Ararat Redbacks are ruing a 10-point loss to Portland at the weekend, shattering the team’s finals chances. The Ararat outfit is sitting ninth and its slim finals hopes rest on the outcome of other matches. A slow start proved costly for the Redbacks, who trailed by six points at the first break and again at half time. The players regrouped for the third quarter and spurred on by an 11-point haul by Josh Fiegert, took a five-point buffer into the last quarter. But the Redbacks were unable to capitalise on their advantage in an intense final term, with the home side making the most of their opportunities to steal the win, 98-88. Fiegert finished with a game-high 29 points, with Jason Cameron contributing 23. The Redbacks will regroup to host ladder leader Geelong United at Ararat Fitness Centre at 7pm before travelling to Terang on Sunday to take on the Tornadoes at 1pm. The Redbacks will have their fingers crossed things fall their way.

Hornets cruise

Horsham Hornets will take to their home court against Colac on Sunday

following a win over Terang last week. Leading scorers Tim Pickert, 30, and Jeremiah McKenzie, 28, again led the way on the scoreboard, with a strong spread of scorers involved in the victory, 107-91. Veteran Robbie Fry, 4, scored his first points for the season since returning to the court for the Hornets, and youngsters Jude Kilpatrick and Max and Cody Bryan gained valuable senior experience. The Hornets have their eyes on the prize this season and will not want to drop a game to the Kookas as they look to secure a top-two finish. Tip off is at 2pm.

Tough weekend

Stawell Wildcats will play their last match of the season since rejoining the competition and are set to host Geelong at 1pm on Sunday. The Wildcats endured another tough weekend, falling short of Warrnambool Seahawks by 72 points on Saturday and Terang Tornadoes by 80 points on Sunday. Despite a healthy spread of scorers, the figures were not strong enough to trouble the Wildcats’ higher-ranked opponents.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Saints set sights on second spot G

BY ‘ONE SHORT’

rampians cricket resumes on Saturday after an extended Christmas break, with the major match being between third-placed St Andrews and secondplaced Youth Club in a twoday fixture at Alexandra Oval, Ararat.

A win to either team is vital at this stage of the season. If the Saints win, they will replace Youth Club in second spot, while a win to the Clubbers will see them keep in touch with leader Swifts-Great Western. The Saints and Clubbers have not yet faced off, as an earlier one-day round was cancelled due to wet weather. Both teams had very good wins prior to the break, the Saints outrighted Chalambar, while the Clubbers chased down a good score while losing just one wicket. The key to this match is probably the form of leading run-scorer and skipper Nic

Baird. If he fires, the Saints are in trouble, if he fails, then it falls upon lesser batsmen Damon Folkes, Bailey Taylor and Jarrod Illig to post a competitive score. The Saints’ two strike bowlers, Tom Mills and Ned Bohner, will target Baird in the hope of dismissing him cheaply, and then pressure the remaining batting line-up. The addition of all-rounder Adam Haslett to the Saints will give the team a boost. The Saints will be hoping Clubbers bowlers Cam Kimber, Folkes and Clinton Slorach have an off day and allow Mills, Bohner and Michael Harricks to post a big score. At Stawell’s Central Park, Halls Gap hosts Pomonal, a match in which both teams would fancy their chances, although their recent form is average. Halls Gap fell to the Combine in just one day, while Pomonal only managed to take one wicket against the Clubbers. Pomonal has more to gain

from this match as a loss will see its finals spot in jeopardy. The Tigers will look to proven performers Lynden Brewis, Michael Armstrong and young Lachy Dalkin to get them over the line, whereas the Gappers will rely on Josh Leith and Joe Martin with the bat, and Josh Reid and Brian Driscoll with the ball. In the remaining game, Chalambar takes on leader SwiftsGreat Western at Gordon Street Oval, Ararat. Chalambar’s bowling has lacked penetration this season with only Chad Gilmour and Mathew McKinnis worrying batsmen. This will be a big concern against the Combine’s long batting line-up, which includes form players Sam Cocks and Tom Eckel among other capable batsmen. Throw in the association’s leading wicket takers Matt Heffer and Lachlan Patching and it makes for a tough ask of Chally batsmen Luke Walker, Ryan Bertram and Sam Pilgrim to post a winning score.

Country Week Carnival continues Horsham Cricket Association claimed runnerup honours in the 2020 Horsham under-15 Country Week Carnival, with Warrnambool Blue enjoying a comfortable victory. The home side batted first at Horsham City Oval but was unable to recover from the loss of early wickets. Hugh Dougherty, 36 runs, and Oscar Gawith, 24, launched a rescue mission with the bat, but knew a total of 122 was going to be hard to defend. The Horsham bowlers were accurate, but were unable to take the regular wickets needed to put their opponents under pressure. Warrnambool Blue won the grand final by eight wickets, with four overs remaining. Wimmera-Mallee Cricket Association lost the battle for third, going down to Colac by 42 runs in a Twenty20 clash. Colac’s Micah Robb and Warrnambool Blue opener Flynn Wilkinson, who top-scored in

the final with 35 runs, were joint players of the carnival. Horsham Cricket Association drew with Portland in an under-17 Country Week pool grand final in Warrnambool. The final was washed out without a result. Wimmera-Mallee Cricket Association lost its Twenty20 pool final to Hamilton after finishing with 5-96. Warrnambool Gold claimed the under-17 shield on points against Warrnambool Blue after play was rained out. Horsham and Wimmera-Mallee associations are contesting under-13 Country Week action at Portland. The competition started on Monday, with finals scheduled for today. • Homers cricketer Georgia Baker-Miller will represent Renegades Country in the Youth Super Series after strong performances with the Western Waves in the Youth Premier League.

Association to host T20 trial H

BY LOTTE REITER

orsham cricketers will resume competition at the weekend with an association first as sides participate in an inset Twenty20 cricket season.

Association secretary Darren Chesterfield said both A and B grades were preparing to play two T20 matches on each of the next three weekends, culminating in a T20 grand final on February 16. He said this would see eight matches played on each day, contributing to both a T20 ladder and half-points to the competition’s standing ladder. He said this was part of a test trial that would help determine whether T20 matches could feature more prominently in the association’s yearly competitions. “Lots of people have been keen to play T20 cricket, and lots of people haven’t. We have got a few who like it and a few who don’t,” he said. “So, we figured the best way to know if it’s something people actually want to do is to run a bit of a trial. So, that’s this year. “If the feedback is positive, we’ll look at a way we could keep it going. If it’s not, we’ll try something else.” Mr Chesterfield said the competition’s four Horsham City Oval matches on Saturday would also help raise money for bushfire relief as part of a ‘Hit a Six’ fundraiser.

He said the association would donate $25 each time a player hit a six during the four games, with major sponsor Ben Sawyer from Preston Rowe Paterson property valuers Horsham matching the donation. “So, we’ll have $50 donated for every six in the four main city oval games,” he said. “The main thing really is that people turn up at the time they’re supposed to play, and hit some sixes.” This week’s T20 matches will see second placed Horsham Saints try to break away from third-rung Noradjuha-Toolondo at 1.15pm, before turning to ladder-leader Homers in a 4.15pm match, both at Coughlin Park. Homers are then matched up against Rupanyup-Minyip at Horsham City Oval at 7.15pm for a ‘Hit a Six’ game. Blackheath-Dimboola and NoradjuhaToolondo will also be going for sixes when they take on each other at the city oval at 10am, with Colts and Laharum starting their first matches of the day at the same time at Dudley Cornell Park. Laharum will then take on Jung Tigers at 1.15pm for another Hit a Six match, while Colts will stay put to square off against Blackheath-Dimboola at Dudley Cornell Park. Rounding out the four ‘Hit a Six’ games will be Jung Tigers and Rupanyup-Minyip at 4.15pm.

Tony Caccaviello

Caccaviello fires Gun Horsham Saints bowler Tony Caccaviello snared two wickets to help his Victorian team to gold in the Australian Country Cricket Championships in Toowoomba. Victoria Country defeated reigning premier Western Australia Country by 49 runs, with Caccaviello finishing with figures of 2-16 in the decider. Victoria Country batted first, setting a target of 194. Caccaviello was run out for four but did his most damage with the ball, dismissing opener Aaron Burrage for 17 and making short work of low-order batsman Coen Marwick, who was out for one. Victoria Country bowlers dismissed fellow opener Callum How, 5, and first drop Bevan Bennell, 0, cheaply, leaving Western Australia to rely on its middle order to complete the run chase. With the tail end falling quickly, Western Australia was at 9-145 when stumps were drawn.

Stephan in running

‘Bad boy’ wins cup Balmoral breeder-owner-trainer Janet Exell’s ‘bad boy, come good’ Show Me The Moolah, took out Sunday’s $7000 Barker Trotters Handicap at Hamilton’s cup meeting. The five-year-old bay gelding has rarely brought his best behaviour to the races, but a confidence-boosting third placing at Mt Gambier less than a week earlier set the foundation for another ‘safe beginning and trotting the whole race’ at Hamilton. Exell knew Show Me The Moolah had more ability than his well mannered stablemate Keep The Dream, but must have come close to thinking that she’d never win a race with the wayward son of Allawart Ray until that faultless display at Mt Gambier. However, most punters at Hamilton doubted that Show Me The Moolah could repeat the effort and at post time there was plenty of 40-1 odds on offer. Driver David Drury quickly had his charge into its gait when the tapes were released and Show Me The Moolah worked to the lead as they passed the winning post with two laps to go. Those who’d supported the 30-metre backmaker and short-priced favourite Dublin Chub, Kerryn Manning, lost their money early on, when the smart three-year-old broke stride seemingly for no reason, just 600 metres into the contest. In doing so, Dublin Chub also checked the second elect Dicko Dixon

hill export and rower Lucy Stephan continues to make waves in the sporting scene with a back-to-back finalist nomination for Victorian female athlete of the year.

The two-time world champion is in the running for the accolade, one of 18 categories presented at an annual Victorian Sports Awards ceremony in Melbourne next month, after missing out to table tennis player Melissa Tapper last year. The Victorian Sports Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of individual and team athletes, coaches, administrators and volunteers from metropolitan and regional Victoria. This year, Stephan is up against premier athletes including Melbourne Vixens and Australian Diamonds netballer Liz Watson, billiards world champion Anna Lynch and mogul skier Jakara Anthony. Stephan said despite the ‘incredibly talented’ list, she hoped to bring home the award. “It’s huge and pretty cool to be recognised,” she said. “I’m up against some incredibly talented athletes again this year, so we’ll see how we go. But it would be nice.” Stephan, who grew up at Nhill before attending boarding school in Ballarat where she started rowing, said she always tried to keep her eyes on the ‘next step’ in her career. It is a philosophy that has seen her represent Australia at the 2016 Rio Olympics as part of the women’s eight team, as well as the Australian women’s four at the past three World Rowing Championships. She said she was now training on the Tamar River in Launceston, Tasmania, to prepare for trials for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

Lucy Stephan “I started rowing in 2007-08 under my school’s rowing program, but we had no water in the lake, so we used to have to go to Geelong to practise,” she said. “But it was from there that I really fell in love with the sport and since then it has always been: ‘what is the next thing that I can aim for?’” The Victorian Sports Awards will be at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on February 26.

and the pair tailed the field some 100 metres astern of the leaders. The name of the game is to trot and so all honours were with the winner. Show Me The Moolah never missed a beat throughout the 2160-metre journey and dashed home in 58.1 seconds to score by 10.8 metres from The Summer Cat, Denbeigh Wade, with Aballofmuscle, Michael Bellman, a similar margin away in third place.

Winning streak

The Aaron Dunn team has enjoyed a great run of late, and five-year-old bay mare Marjorie Jean continued the streak with a strong sprint to the finish line at Hamilton to capture the $7000 Grand Central Hotel Pace. Marjorie Jean joined the Dunn stable back in September, with trainer Owen Martin out of action after surgery. Owner Steve West has been a regular visitor to the winner’s circle since then. Marjorie Jean has really blossomed as a racehorse over the past 18 months. With just a single victory to her credit from her first 30-odd starts, the mare now boasts a record of 11 wins and 11 minor placings from 71 starts and a bank of $65,500. Driver Jackie Barker has forged a wonderful association with Marjorie Jean as pilot in her past six wins and hopefully the combo can pick up a mares race at Melton over the summer. – Tony Logan

Organisers to build on success

rganisers of the third annual Wimmera Friendly Eight-Ball Invitational expect to attract even more of country Victoria’s best players to next year’s event following a successful tournament at the weekend.

About 250 players converged on Horsham, for this year’s competition, with teams from as far as Geelong, Swan Hill and Mt Gambier joining Wimmera outfits from Ararat, Stawell, Dimboola and Horsham to compete for cash prizes. Thirty-two teams across four divisions took to pool tables at Horsham’s Royal and Commercial

hotels on Saturday and Sunday. Horsham Eight Ball Association secretary and event co-ordinator Darren ‘Deadly’ Duncan said at least eight people approached him at the weekend to ask if they could submit additional teams in 2021. “It was a great weekend had by all,” he said. “Everyone I spoke to said they would come back again, and that plus people asking about entering extra teams means we will be in for an even bigger event next year.” Mr Duncan said the event would go ahead in 2021, despite needing to find a second location due to the Commercial Hotel changing hands

and being set for redevelopment. “We will still have two divisions at the Royal, I’ll just have to find somewhere for the other two – but I have a couple of ideas,” he said. Mr Duncan said he was impressed with the standard of competition this year. “It just keeps getting better,” he said. “A team from Dimboola won division three, so it was nice to have some local winners.” Shark Squad, comprising players from western Victoria, won division one; Melzer, featuring players from Central Highlands Pool Association, CHPA, and Geelong

claimed division two; and a CHPA team won division four. Mr Duncan said two-time Australian title holder Michael Scerri played well, but his team was knocked out in the first final. “Even though it’s hard for people to watch others because they are focused on their own tables and their own divisions, having someone like Michael there is particularly good for the young players and spectators because they have an opportunity to watch what he does,” he said. Participants raised $600 for Horsham CFA throughout the weekend. – Sarah Scully
