Karkana hub push A

BY DEAN LAWSON

dvocates strongly pushing for a Wimmera mental-health centre have identified Horsham’s dormant Karkana on the outskirts of the rural city as a potential project site.

They have ‘quietly’ worked on the concept for six months after raising the idea for a dedicated centre more than two years ago. Advocate members Graham Gerlach and Gavin Morrow, after initial assessments, are confident the Grahams Bridge Road site at Haven, which includes buildings and land, would be ideal as a new mental-health centre. “We’ve had a good look through it

and although it might need a significant tidy-up and an injection of some serious funding, we believe it would be absolutely perfect,” Mr Morrow said. “At the moment we have people needing help going voluntarily or being taken involuntarily to hospital for treatment, who are then later being told they need to travel to Ballarat. “To me that’s akin to promoting drink-driving.” The group’s push, based on identifying a pressing need to ‘significantly’ strengthen mental-health services in the Wimmera, emerged from community organisation Healthy Minds Horsham. Rotary clubs across the region have

also indicated support for a dedicated centre, as well as general improvements to regional mental-health services. “We’ve been wanting to get this idea moving for six months and working behind the scenes assessing what’s out there and what would need to be done to provide facilities for patients, staff and specialists,” Mr Morrow said. “What we’re after is something that can provide immediate walk-in as well as short and long-term care. “We have been looking over drawings and plan to discuss it further with Uniting Wimmera. “We want to go forward with the current custodians.” Mr Gerlach, a Rotary member, said

authorities had ignored WimmeraMallee communities over a crucial health issue. “We are sick of hearing what can’t be done and ‘we need another study’ and so on. I believe if the government won’t immediately get on with a crisis centre and mental-health facility then the community might have to show them how,” he said. “There will be no one in our large Wimmera catchment who will not support such a facility. “We have seen the tremendous community development of many significant projects in the past. “The Karkana venue is right here, put there by the community and it could ultimately evolve into a very

large mental-health facility, similar to those in Geelong. “Horsham is the largest city between Ballarat and Adelaide, Portland and Mildura, and there is nothing here. “It’s time for our community to take control of what is needed so watch this space.” Mr Morrow said it would be paramount the Horsham and broader Wimmera community supported the project. “Karkana has a long history of support and engagement from everyday people. It’s a site that many hold close because it has been such a community project.” Continued page 3

Heartache in elective-surgery delays BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Horsham family remains concerned elective-surgery disruptions in Victoria have left their young child without a timeline for receiving a crucial medical procedure.

This week the State Government began to stagger an easing of elective-surgery restrictions based on COVID-19. However Tiana and Billy Elphinstone’s four-month-old child Malik still faces a backlog and uncertain scheduling. Malik has a cleft pallet and requires corrective and timely cleft surgery, a common but important procedure in children. The State Government lifted a ‘Code Brown’ hospital alert and accompanying restrictions on elective surgery on Monday. The Code Brown, designed to help medical authorities cope with rising Omicron cases and hospitalisations, was in force from January 19 this year. However, differing restrictions remain in place for certain ‘non-urgent’ elective surgeries. Cleft-palate surgeries are prioritised as category three and less vital as category two and urgent category-one cases. Public hospitals in regional Victoria can resume all category

two elective surgery. Metropolitan public hospitals, except for Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Royal Eye and Ear Hospital, remain restricted to urgent procedures. Mrs Elphinstone said despite Malik’s surgery being considered ‘elective’, the recent Code Brown restrictions and ensuing delays to public hospital waiting lists significantly increased the risk of cleft-palaterelated complications.

Timeline

Medical recommendations are that cleft-palate operations should proceed on children aged three to six months to avoid complications. Complications on untreated cleft palates can result in feeding, speech and hearing difficulties. Mrs Elphinstone said the system should not consider cleft surgery ‘elective’ and any elective-surgery classification should not include conditions, which when left untreated, could affect child development. “I don’t understand why his surgery is classified as elective. He’s four months old at the moment and we have been trying to get him into see someone, but we know it is getting more and more important to have the procedure done soon,” she said.

Mrs Elphinstone said even with continued easing of elective-surgery restrictions, surgery delays had ballooned public hospital waiting lists and she remained unsure when the procedure could be organised. “Now the ban is lifted, it still doesn’t help us straight away,” she said. “We can only get the surgery in Melbourne and waiting lists are long. Speaking to other mothers of children with cleft palates, there was no rough estimate of how long we might have to wait.” Mrs Elphinstone said the procedure was only available for Malik at Monash and Royal Children’s hospitals in Melbourne, hospitals still under category two and three surgery restrictions. “I feel like there was an earlier point when they could have reinstated some elective surgeries,” she said. “This week is a start, but it doesn’t help us. It still doesn’t get us the surgery.” The government expects further easing of public hospital elective-surgery restrictions in metropolitan Melbourne in the coming weeks as Omicron cases and hospitalisations in Victoria continue to decrease.

WAITING LIST: Four-month-old Malik Elphinstone needs cleft-palate surgery. His parents Tiana and Billy are working through recent Code Brown restrictions and ensuing delays to public hospital waiting lists, significantly increasing Malik’s risk to cleft-palate-related complications.

Karkana site has ‘considerable potential’ From page 1 A workforce of people with disabilities started processing vegetables with Karkana Support Services at Grahams Bridge Road in 1979. Karkana went into administration in 2009 and community health organisation Uniting took over the site and built on the service. But a 2019 agency review of the centre’s support for people with disabilities after the roll-out of a National Disability Insurance Scheme concluded the site had failed to ‘take the next step’ and was unfit for purpose in a progressing era of disability care. Buildings and land have since sat relatively unused.

Options

Uniting Wimmera, which still manages the site, had been exploring centre options before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Considerations have involved how

to best use the asset, financially or physically, while meeting the needs of the centre’s original intent and expectations of community supporters. The site includes two primary buildings as well as storage sheds. Uniting Wimmera chief executive Josh Koenig said the site’s future had remained in a holding pattern during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are certainly open to any concepts or ideas, whether from the government or from private investment,’ he said. “We’re not closed off to having any conversations if appropriate players are willing to be involved. We’re not saying ‘no’ to any options at the moment but a provision of selling the site would be that proceeds would be invested back into the community for use as it was originally intended.”

Support

The advocacy group has shared the

proposal with Wimmera politician Emma Kealy who agreed the concept was worth exploring. Ms Kealy, the Victorian Coalition’s mental-health representative as well as Member for Lowan, said the site could work as part of an expanded system to address regional mentalhealth issues. “Karkana certainly has considerable potential, and this type of project would follow on from the centre’s long-time community health and welfare function and reputation,” she said. “Deteriorating mental-health in our region has been a constant and insidious scourge that can be everything from blatantly obvious or suddenly raise its head unexpectedly – both can devastate families and communities. “This is being compounded by a lack of mental-health beds available locally and people often have to get acute mental-health support in Ballarat or beyond.

“Being able to access the type of professional health service needed is getting to a point where it is more about being a necessity than an option. “We simply don’t enjoy the same access to the necessary services in other parts of the state. There is a big gap in service provision.” Ms Kealy added with a general shortfall of mental-health beds from Mildura to the coast and Ballarat to the South Australian border, establishing a profound service centre in the heart of western Victoria also presented an opportunity to establish a regional hub. “It really needs a full review and Karkana could well and truly play a role,” she said. “It’s one thing to talk about improving mental-health services, it’s another to actually do it and make a difference.” Ms Kealy said a pressing need in the

Wimmera was to gain the services of more mental-health workers. “Staffing uncertainty to address mental-health issues is the biggest challenge we have in this area,” she said. “Every mental-health worker across the state is fatigued. “The past two years have been overwhelming. “We need to do an enormous amount of work to recruit and train mentalhealth workers to meet Royal Commission recommendations. “For a Karkana project to work it requires a specialist approach and guaranteed resources. “A dedicated centre that provides immediate relief and respite could well be the crucial piece in this puzzle. “A key would be first to establish whether it could be home to a project that ticked as many boxes as possible in addressing need.”

Incentive programs ‘counterintuitive’ BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Horsham financial adviser has highlighted double-edged housing-market circumstances caused by rising Wimmera house prices.

Consortium Private Wealth director Robert Goudie, who also writes a fortnightly finance column for The Weekly Advertiser, said he feared government housing incentive programs were having a counterintuitive impact. Mr Goudie said he had never seen such a rapid increase in the price of housing in the Wimmera. “There are lots of people missing out as home buyers offer to pay above

any vendor-asking price,” he said. “These are unprecedented times. And as prices go up and up, it just becomes more and more difficult for people to get a sizable deposit.” Mr Goudie said government incentives and assistance packages designed to help first-home buyers to build an initial deposit had, consequently, pushed up house prices. “More and more people increasingly rely on a bank of mum-and-dad for a first-home deposit,” he said. “Situations like this are reasons why young people are given government grants as encouragement. But this in turn pushes up the price of assets and makes it even harder.

“With the government relaxing responsible lending requirements last year, the banks are free to loan more money to people. Interest rates will only go one way. For people who have borrowed a lot, budgeting will be tough”

– Robert Goudie

“With any rise in wages not matching the rise in property, the government has tried to help with incentive programs. This has exacerbated the price of assets. “For all those people who have taken

on those incentives, they are happy, and hats off to them. “But if we are purely talking about people trying to get into the market – it is making it harder.” Mr Goudie said people with loans should adopt a ‘very’ cautious approach to spending because predictions were that interest rates would rise in the short-term. He also said for people looking to save for a deposit, ‘the bigger the deposit the better’. “The average home loan in Australia is more than $500,000, and while these low-interest rates were great for some, they have also helped inflate asset prices,” he said.

“With the government relaxing responsible lending requirements last year, the banks are free to loan more money to people. “Interest rates will only go one way. For people who have borrowed a lot, budgeting will be tough.” Mr Goudie said even though house prices were quickly rising, a need for people to have shelter remained as important as ever. “To have security in a home, owning a home or being on the way to owning a home will always be an objective for people,” he said. “The old rules will still apply for getting closer to that deposit. Spend less than you earn.”

New director to judge fair Horsham Regional Art Gallery director Jane Scott will judge the 44th annual Wimmera Art Fair later this year. Rotary Club of Horsham East, busy preparing for the event in Horsham Town Hall from April 5 to 10, has confirmed Ms Scott will have the job of casting a critical eye over what organisers predict will be a diversity of entries. Art fair co-ordinator Peter Robertson said Ms Scott had more than 30 years of experience in the arts and cultural relations and had worked in regional and city museums and art galleries. “We have always enjoyed a longtime partnership with Horsham Regional Art Gallery, which has supported the art fair. Jane has also shown such enthusiasm for this event,” he said. Mr Robertson said committee planning for the event built on from schemes last year to create a COVIDSafe environment. “They proved remarkably successful,” he said. Rotary club president Pam Clarke said the art fair had always been dynamic, endeavouring to meet community needs, encouraging regional artists and promoting all forms of art in the Wimmera.

“The Wimmera Art Fair is a long-established event and I feel proud that the club continues its perpetuity,” she said. Organisers are encouraging artists from across the Wimmera and beyond to enter their work and apart from sales opportunities, be eligible for major prizes. Artwork judged best work in fair will win an artist $750, best bay in fair $500 and people’s choice, $250. Artists keen to register, enter works or find out more information about this year’s Wimmera Art Fair can visit website www.hreartfair.com, social media Facebook page Horsham East Rotary Art Fair or call Gary Green on 0428 821 213. Artists can enter work in all mediums. Ms Scott said the art fair provided an opportunity for experienced and emerging artists and makers to showcase their artwork to new and old audiences. “The Rotary Wimmera Art Fair brings excitement and reward to our local artists and is a great resource for those wanting to see who’s making what and where local trends and designs are heading,” she said. The event generates money for Rotary charities and has again attracted

A need for more from leaders

o use an old cliché, it is always a tough job to try to separate the chaff from the hay when we go to the polls, whether it be for federal or state elections. Seeing through the mist of embellished rhetoric, finger-pointing, character assassination, diversionary processes and ambiguous levels of truth emanating from the halls of power, is, to say the obvious, a chore and a bore. As we head towards a Federal Election and Victorian polls later in the year, people have a right to demand sincere reasons why they should cast their votes in a particular way.

Sure, there will always be a large percentage who vote a particular way based on philosophical, habitual or historical allegiances. There will also be individuals so disenfranchised by political process that they throw hands in the air and say it’s all too hard. And there are others who will dig deeper, probing the pros and cons of political parties and candidates and how policies and direction will or might influence day-to-day life and prosperity and vote accordingly. Amid this speculative backdrop, we need our political representatives or

We’re already a bit far gone, but what many of us would love to avoid are incessant political slanging matches, where a prime objective is more to discredit an opponent than promote

Instead, we would prefer to hear why someone is or would be good in the position – and importantly, why it is or would be beneficial. No political party can take the moral high ground on childish name-calling – they are usually as rabid as each other and considering our vote is precious, we deserve more.

Wimmera connection in Darwin anniversary Groups and individuals dedicated to preserving the history of the Wimmera’s role in the Second World War defence of Darwin have urged people to take time to reflect this week. They have also reminded the community that Saturday represents the 80th anniversary of when an enemy force bombed the Australian mainland. Horsham Darwin Defenders Committee is planning an informal service at a Darwin Defender Memorial at Horsham cenotaph in Sawyer Park on Friday. Wimmera Darwin Defenders education and commemorative services have traditionally involved regional school students and a public gathering at Horsham College’s Maroske Hall. But COVID-19 restrictions have forced organisers to abandon formal activities. Committee treasurer Sheryl Bartlett said the public could view wreaths from late morning on Friday and at the entry of Horsham RSL club. “The actual anniversary is on Saturday, February 19, and we encourage schools and the public to remember this day and all veterans and civilians who served to protect our country

and its freedoms. This is not to glorify war. It is instead with hope that by remembering we ensure this does not occur again,” she said. “As we keep things low key this year and reflect on the bombing of Darwin, we remember the large number of soldiers from the Wimmera and southern Mallee involved.” Hundreds of Wimmera-Mallee soldiers were stationed at Darwin as part of the 19th Machinegun Battalion when the attack occurred, establishing a historic link between communities at both sides of the continent. Japanese forces advancing towards Australia first attacked with two air raids, the first at 9.58am, February 19, 1942. The attacks involved 188 attack aircraft launched from four Japanese aircraft carriers in the Timor Sea and 54 land-based bombers. Enemy aircraft carried out more than 60 raids on Darwin, the last on November 12, 1943. Former Horsham council officer and Horsham RSL commemoration chairman David Eltringham also stressed that the anniversary was an important time for reflection. “I recall the occasion in 2012 when Horsham Rural City Council sponsored a delegation including the

But we would also know, considering the vagaries of everything from ‘safe’ and ‘swinging’ electorates, the influence of voting preferences to simply where people live, that establishing governments and parliaments overall is far from simple. To our political movers, shakers and prospects manoeuvring for elections – can you please for the moment forget about the gang on the other side of the fence and instead convince us about you and your plans for Victoria and Australia.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Good governance

SIR, – Your editorial ‘Council teamwork a must’, January 26, 2022, was an insightful summary of how things have unfolded in this municipality and unfortunately, why we might expect more of the same into the future. My thoughts on what good governance should generally look like in local government would be fearless councillors with both the willingness, and the ability, to soundly understand the issues at hand; to challenge the recommendations on decisions presented to councillors; and to be truly representative of the wishes of the community with an absence of personalities, personal bias and power lust. Angie Munn Horsham

“My recommendation to the public is to take a moment to reflect, especially at 9.58am on Saturday. “We will be flying the flags at the cenotaph.”

SIR, – Congratulations to the cleaners, admin and teachers who went back to school this month. May 2022 be the full four terms without interruptions – other than meetings, sports days, meetings, PST interviews, meetings, report writing and meetings. B. Quince Ararat

Mrs Cross added, “Volunteers are valuable contributors to this event and this year we have some eager students from Holy Trinity Lutheran College jumping on board to help.” Regional food producers have responded to invitations to supply products with Dimboola Olive Estate among new suppliers. “With all the wine and boutique beer sourced locally, we are excited to have Casterton Distilling Co new to the feast and will be serving gin cocktails as an extra for guests,” Mrs Cross said.

Feast director Andrea Cross said a new location in the reserve would bring a different vibe to the event on Saturday night. “While the outdoor dining room won’t be built from bales of straw, it will still be under the stars, but with lawn underfoot and chandeliers hanging from the sky,” she said. The feast concept is based on sourcing the majority of wine and produce from growers within a 150-kilometre radius of Horsham. Mrs Cross said organisers had put in ‘all the hard yards’ to make an inaugural event happen last year and it is now up to the chefs to come up with a menu. She said Horsham chef Stewart Neighbour from Stewarts Catering and Consulting was leading the culinary team, which included Georgia Stone and Shannon Couch from The Capital restaurant in Horsham. Mrs Cross said Sharnee Lockhart from Gourmet Food and Flowers, who prepared the first course for last year’s dinner, was returning and newcomer, Vanessa Craig-Marsden was bringing expertise from California for entree. Mrs Craig-Marsden, American television All-Star Academy’s 2015 first runner-up, said she was excited to be part of the community event. “As a new person to the region, it’s a fabulous way to become involved in my

Rupanyup Living Brownies creator and food producer Claire Morgan said she was delighted to be asked again to provide her chickpea flour-based product to create a new dessert this year. “Being involved in a local food event gives me another opportunity to showcase our product and also work alongside local chefs and the 150km Feast team, to support their vision,” she said. Mrs Cross said there would also be an opportunity for guests to get to know the owners of Mount Stapylton Wines firsthand with Mary and Gary Staehr volunteering to serve their rosé. The 150km Feast is bringing together almost 50 businesses to provide services and produce. Mrs Cross said limited tickets were still available and people could get information online at trybooking.com.au/bpjin.

Run with the cops... and robbers A Horsham police inspector is calling on Wimmera residents to join an inaugural Wimmera River ‘Cops and Robbers’ parkrun on March 5. The themed event will add an extra element to Wimmera River parkrun’s regular Saturday runs. Inspector Di Thomson is encouraging people to join in the fun along the banks of the Wimmera River, starting at Horsham cenotaph on Memorial Drive from 8am. She encouraged participants to dress up in ‘your best robbers outfit’, however not to bring toy guns that looked similar to firearms. “Members of the community can complete the five-kilometre

run at their own pace, but police will be hot on their heels chasing in a variety of uniforms,” Ms Thomson said. She said the event was a positive way to engage with the community. “Often our roles in the community are of a punitive nature and this provides an opportunity for an informal and positive interaction,” Ms Thomson said. “Victoria Police is a great career and this will also be a way to showcase the many aspects of the organisation with a view to recruiting home-grown applicants.” Members from Victoria Police’s Critical Incident Response Team

and Water Police will be in attendance to chat with participants. People can also see Victoria Police Highway Patrol’s BMW and command semi-trailer. Ms Thomson said police were interested in making ‘Cops and Robbers’ parkrun an annual event. “I would hope the event has a positive and perhaps even educational impact on the community,” she said. Following the five-kilometre run-walk, a free barbecue breakfast will be available. People can register for the free event online at parkrun.com.au/ register.

Calls continue for duck-hunting ban A

BY DEAN LAWSON

leading Victorian animal-welfare charity is calling on the State Government to cancel Victoria’s 2022 duck-hunting season.

RSPCA Victoria leaders have made the call, claiming evidence had shown a decline in native duck populations. They are also railing against ‘the suffering and inherent cruelty ducks experience each season’. The Wimmera has a significant reputation as a duck-hunting region, especially after rain replenishes lakes and wetlands that become home to thousands of water birds. The pastime also has a history of visiting hunters generating socioeconomic benefits in various western Victorian communities. But RSPCA Victoria Policy and Advocacy manager Clare Brealey said her organisation was opposed to the recreational hunting of any animal for sport. She said this was due ‘to the inherent and unnecessary injury, pain, suffering, distress or death to the animals

involved’. “Duck hunting results in distress, fear, pain and suffering for tens of thousands of birds each year,” she said. “Use of shotguns results in a substantial number of ducks being wounded – previous research has indicated up to 26 percent of birds shot will be wounded, maimed or crippled before dying, but this could be as high as 33 percent.” Chief executive Dr Liz Walker said she believed there was clear scientific evidence that the Victorian duck-hunting season, from March 19 to June 26, should not proceed. “Victorians want to see decisions made on science and evidence that will ultimately stop the unnecessary suffering of Victoria’s ducks,” she said. “Using a wounding rate of 26 percent and comparing this to the reported total harvest figure of 238,666 from the 2019 season, this would mean that more than 62,000 ducks were wounded and not killed outright in the 2019 season. “The 2021 Aerial Survey of Water-

“At the end of the day we hunters are normal people – solicitors, business owners, school teachers and generally, as a whole, participants are very responsible. Closing down the season would also create more problems and disappointment” – Bill Jorgensen

birds in Eastern Australia reports that game species abundances were well below long-term averages, with six out of eight native game species showing significant long-term declines. “Total waterbird abundance is the third lowest in 39 years. “In particular, grey teal, Australasian shoveler and Australian wood duck numbers have been declining for many years. “The Pacific black duck, chestnut teal, hardhead and pink-eared duck abundances have declined since 2020.”

Horsham’s J and A Shooting Supplies business owner, sports shooting enthusiast and hunter since childhood Bill Jorgensen broadly disagreed with the stand. He said he was confident the season generated more positive than negative effects, ranging from providing regional economic stimulus to important environmental management. “It doesn’t matter what type of sport or activity is involved, there is always some idiot that does the wrong thing,” he said. “At the end of the day we hunters are normal people – solicitors, business owners, school teachers and generally, as a whole, participants are very responsible. “Closing down the season would also create more problems and disappointment. For example, if successful it would end a great cultural and family tradition that crosses generations and we don’t want to see this tradition die. “There have been references that duck hunting previously generated more money for Victoria than the

FIVE-DAY forecast

Melbourne Cup, but sadly it is becoming a thing of the past. “At the end of the day, ducks can also become quite a pest when they start overpopulating, especially in NSW rice production. “And the duck numbers are well and truly up this year. “They will become a pest and more of a problem if hunting disappears. “The often forgotten truth is that the hunter is really doing the environment a favour.” Victorian RSPCA, Royal Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals also claimed duck hunting fell short of meeting community expectations. The society has produced survey figures from the past three months that showed 68 percent of Victorians agreed duck hunting should be banned. It claimed the research also showed more than half of people interested in visiting regional Victoria preferred to visit a location where duck hunting was absent.

PROJECT: Horsham Rural City Council fleet co-ordinator Warren Kennedy inspects an old Arapiles Shire grader the council hopes to restore. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Historic grader arrives back home A Second World War-era grader will return home after a South Australian family donated the machine to Horsham Rural City Council. The Malcolm Moore Road Master Grader, with Fordson tractor, was bought by Arapiles Shire, now part of Horsham Rural City Council, in 1942. The council’s fleet co-ordinator Warren Kennedy said the Hunt family of Bordertown was the most recent owner. “It was their father’s wish to donate the grader back to where it was purchased,” he said. “It was the Arapiles Shire number-two grader until the mid-1950s and was auctioned off and purchased by the Farley family of Goroke, who

eventually moved to South Australia. Then the Hunt family purchased it.” Mr Kennedy said the grader was made in Port Melbourne by Malcolm Moore Engineering. “Malcolm had a very interesting life that you can research on the internet. He had a lot to do with starting the Royal Flying Doctors and his uncle was head surgeon at Royal Melbourne Hospital,” he said. “The grader was built during the Second World War years. Due to a lack of materials, labour and all focus being on the war effort, the grader was unconventionally built on top of a Fordson Major Tractor.”

SHOWCASE: Horsham artist Nichola Clarke will create a mechanical flower garden for April’s Wimmera Steampunk Festival at Dimboola. Picture: MICHAEL SCALZO

Artist embraces steampunk style A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

north-western Victorian artist is gearing up for a new Wimmera arts festival in April, constructing an artwork in her signature style.

Nichola Clarke plans to develop a mechanical flower garden within vacant Jellex site at Dimboola, for Wimmera Steampunk Festival on April 23. Steampunk is a genre-bending collation of Victorian-era style and science-fiction. The Dimboola festival’s inaugural event, originally scheduled in late 2021 and postponed due to limiting COVID-19 restrictions, will be a chance for visitors to experience themed arts, music and culture gathering of steampunk activities and attractions. Mrs Clarke said her sculptures represented a vision of a science-fiction, apocalyptic world without humans, where rubbish came alive. “My work will have a more mechanical theme to its design for the festival,” she said. “I will be using Victorian-era materials and household machines common during that period, to construct flowers and plants. “The sculptures are made from lots of little oddities and collectables that are common of steampunk styling. For example, for some of my work I have collected ‘Fossey’s’ gin bottles from a Mildura gin distillery company, because of its late 19th century look.

“The art installation will feature about 20 of these sculptures that I plan to spill onto the new tower park and surrounding nature strips. “Flora and fauna have always been something I’ve studied closely and I am continually inquisitive and inspired by. Nature is the backbone to my sculptures.” Festival organiser Chan Uoy said the event would be the first one of its kind in western Victoria. “We wanted the event to take place after daylight savings ended, when the nights become darker, that way Dimboola’s streets and buildings could really embrace the nineteenth century steampunk aesthetic,” he said. “People will experience the town and buildings lit up in a steampunk essence, there will be bands playing and a night market, costume exhibits and car shows. “We will also be making use of the tower park site, where the old Dimboola Hotel stood, and the Star Theatre will premiere Tracey Rigney’s short film about the former Dimboola Hotel.” Visitors are encouraged to dress-up in the steampunk style that Mr Uoy described as ‘Willy Wonka meets Avatar’. “The festival’s social-media pages are the best way to stay updated about the event, before more information is released,” he said.

SPECIAL GUEST: Ararat Uniting Church minister Nathaniel Atem.

Support for South Sudan

GOOD NEWS. AUSTRALIA’S ALREADY REDUCED EMISSIONS % BY 20

Stawell Uniting Church is hosting a community outreach event to help raise money for a South Sudanese village. Reverend Susan Pearse of Stawell Uniting Church said some of her congregation were from the village. “The village had 32 people murdered, houses burnt and livestock stolen,” she said. “I am hoping this event will increase awareness and understanding of the event and hope it will be a community building exercise. “We have newly settled South Sudanese families living and working here in Stawell, who have escaped such danger. “Most of us would have little to no idea about inter-community conflict or living in an unsafe town.” Reverend Pearse said a monetary donation for the February 23 event would be ‘greatly appreciated’. Ararat Uniting Church Minister Reverend Nathaniel Atem, who is South Sudanese, will talk about his life story at the event, from 6pm.

Research boost across region A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

n Australian tertiary education provider has committed to strengthening networks in western Victoria with the launch of a new research hub and jobs precinct.

Federation University Australia’s new Horsham Research Hub, a part of the university’s Future Regions Research Centre, will focus on bolstering partnerships with industry, communities and government and explore a relationship between dispersed rural populations and social and economic exclusion. The hub will be led by Dr Cathy Tischler, with support from Dr Kelsey MacDonald. Dr Tischler, a senior researcher with the Regional Incubator for Social and Economic Research in Horsham, said the hub’s evidence-based research would support economies and improve service delivery in western Victoria. The new Ararat Jobs and Technology Precinct, under construction in Laby Street, Ararat, will similarly aim to foster relationships with industry, government and community, however with a focus on

agribusiness. The precinct will be headed by ecological economist professor Harpinder Sandhu. Mr Sandhu, who was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2020 for his work as a lead author of the Pollination Report and Asia Pacific Regional Assessment at the United Nations, said the precinct was an exciting partnership. “The Ararat Jobs and Technology Precinct is an exciting partnership with Ararat Rural City Council that will see the university partnering with the local agricultural industry to develop niche markets and drive economic growth in the region,” he said. Federation University vice-chancellor and president Professor Duncan Bentley said boosting research capabilities in western Victoria would help drive economic growth and jobs. “Tackling the big issues facing the regions requires a multi-faceted approach and the research hub at Horsham and jobs and technology precinct in Ararat will tap into research capabilities across the university to take a holistic approach to helping our regions grow and prosper,” he said.

Tests easing pressure across state Wimmera-Mallee broadacre farmers will receive up to 150 rapid antigen tests from Victorian Farmers Federation, Food and Fibre Gippsland and Fruit Growers Victoria to keep food-supply chains going. VFF president Emma Germano said the demand for RAT tests highlighted their need.

“Farmers and industry have been telling the government that without access to RATs, the new isolation directives intended to ease the pressure on our supply chains, won’t work,” she said. “The response has been enormous. We’ve had more than 56,000 orders within two days from literally every corner of the state.”

TASTE OF ELITE SPORT: Chris Radford watches on as Christian Macalinga takes part in RAD Centre training at Horsham College. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Coach heads back to school An athletic development coach and former Wimmera student returned to his secondary school last week to run a high-performance testing session aimed at giving students a taste of elite sport. Chris Radford graduated from Horsham College in 2009, before moving to Ballarat to study exercise and sport science at university. After professional stints with AFL Western Bulldogs, Greater Western Victoria Rebels and North Ballarat Roosters football clubs, Mr Radford started his athletic conditioning venture, Radford Athletic Development, RAD. The company now operates out of the RAD Centre, a high-performance facility in Ballarat. At Horsham College, Mr Radford worked with students from WestVic Academy, Peak Per-

formance and AFL Academy sporting programs, providing a snapshot of elite training and conditioning methods. He said he wanted to give regional students, particularly across western Victoria, the same access to sporting services available in metropolitan areas. “To come back to Horsham College and take the students through a ‘combine’ testing session is pretty great,” he said. “It is pretty much the same testing program they have at the AFL draft combine. “It gives the kids a bit of a snapshot of what is available if they continue down an elite sporting route.” Mr Radford said it was ‘good insight’ for about 90 students to experience popular testing techniques including 20-metre sprints,

agility tests, standing and running jumps and the infamous ‘yoyo’ running test. Horsham College physical education co-ordinator and WestVic Academy partnership leader Rod Kirkwood said it was fantastic to have Mr Radford return to Horsham College. “For a Wimmera boy to come back and do this for us is just brilliant,” he said. He said the performance-testing program Mr Radford offered his students would allow him to tailor individual sporting programs from the data. “It is also great just to inspire the students,” he said. “They can see what lies ahead for them in the professional sport and recreation industry if it is something they want to pursue.” – Michael Scalzo

Café relaunch A

BY NICK RIDLEY

new partnership between a university and a volunteer service provider has led to the relaunch of a community café project in Horsham.

Centre for Participation Laneway Café without Borders is now operating from Federation University’s Horsham campus. Centre for Participation acting chief executive Robbie Millar said the café had previously operated as a walk-in business but closed due to the pandemic. “The new venture was in response to a lack of front-of-house of opportunities, which had emerged because of the onset of COVID-19,” he said. “Our team has been able to focus on meaningful work experience opportunities for migrant women and people of all abilities at our commercial kitchen in Urquhart Street. “We are trialling operating from Federation University in the first half of 2022 and are hoping the service can grow and remain sustainable long term at the venue.” The community café is designed to help prepare students for ongoing, long-term employment while also building pathways to help develop hospitality and small-business skills. Mr Millar said the collaboration with Federation University would also help the broader work Centre for Participation did with adult education. “Strengthening this partnership and creating stronger links with Federation University will support additional learner pathways into the future,” he said. “Providing additional opportunities for learn-

ers with more variety will create more job ready learners for the hospitality sector.” Café project manager Jessica Koenig Fisher said she hoped the café would continue to operate strongly. “Moving into Federation University will encourage social engagement for all our learners,” she said. Ms Koenig Fisher said the café had also worked with the Salvation Army, Hindmarsh Shire, Uniting Wimmera and many other community organisations to provide more than 15,000 meals to vulnerable people. “We have given 76 care boxes that have headed out to small businesses and into our community,” she said. “Our alternate youth program will continue building on living skills, communication skills and building self-confidence, which will help in securing paid employment.” Ms Koenig Fisher said she was proud to be a part of the café. “Our social enterprise gives so many amazing people opportunities that can create change in their worlds and gives them purpose,” she said. Mr Millar said the café was open to everyone and invited the community to experience the new café at Federation University Horsham campus.

“The council is working in partnership with Barengi Gadjin Land Council Aboriginal Corporation and district descendants of Yanggendyinanyuk, with the aim to recognise his achievements,” she said. “Judging from Smug’s portfolio of stunning street art across the world, we are very excited about what will be created here in Horsham.” Bates has lived in Scotland for more than a decade and has worked for years transforming the facades of buildings in Glasgow into works of art. His work has been exhibited throughout Australia and is also prominent in continental Europe and the United States. The project launch will act as a flagship event during National Reconciliation Week from May 27 to June 3.

Baldwin stands for Mallee I

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

rrigation organisation chief executive Sophie Baldwin launched her independent campaign for the Federal seat of Mallee last week. Mrs Baldwin, a former Cohuna dairy farmer and journalist, launched her campaign in Mildura ahead of the upcoming 2022 Federal Election, which political commentators predict will be in May. She is part of a suite of independent candidates across Australia who have declared or implied their intention to stand in ‘safe’ federal seats. Mrs Baldwin said being an independent candidate meant she did not have to ‘play party politics’. “It is definitely important for me to run as an independent. There is a real appetite for change in the political space,” she said. “I am passionate about rural communities and I have had a long life in agriculture. I think these communities are not being listened to politically.” Mrs Baldwin said in speaking to people in the Mallee electorate, she noted there was concern about the future direction of north and western Victoria. “There is no vision,” she said. “Who is looking out for rural communities that are losing services left, right and centre? “Mallee people, on average, take home about $500-less each week in their pockets than people in the cities. “There is also a widening gap between rural and metropolitan access to medical services, mental health, aged care and the ease they can see a GP.

“Finding suitable and affordable day care is also a massive issue for a lot of Mallee families, which impacts workforce numbers. “With the Mallee electorate being such a significant contributor the wider economy and the scope of infrastructure investment available in the region, our communities shouldn’t have to negotiate these barriers.” Mrs Baldwin has been the executive officer of Southern Riverina Irrigators since 2020, an organisation that aims to ‘ensure equitable access and distribution of water across the Murray-Darling Basin, particularly, the forgotten region of the Southern Riverina’. She said she was proud to represent ‘hard-working generational farming families’. “Agriculture must be supported in practical ways to ensure food security for our nation in the future and to support the thousands of jobs it creates,” she said. “We must change the narrative of farming versus the environment; they are both equally dependent on each other for success.” Mrs Baldwin said Mallee development should start with community initiatives. “One thing that keeps coming up after talking with people is that they have many of the solutions to problems they face,” she said. “We need a strong representative to take these ideas forward. “And as an independent, my whole allegiance is to the people I represent. “I am not looking at playing party games. I just want to represent the people of Mallee in government and

RURAL VOICE: Sophie Baldwin will stand for the seat of Mallee in the upcoming Federal Election. facilitate an opportunity for our communities to grow and thrive into what they can be. “I am a normal person, with a real desire to see some change. You have got to put your hand up at some stage to get some. And while I won’t get it right every time, I think my years of real-life experience in being part of a rural community are important in achieving that.” Mrs Baldwin said her campaign launch, also live-streamed on social

media, went ‘really well’. She said she was eager to organise a visit to Horsham. “I am looking forward to sitting down and having a chat to people there,” she said. “Now the launch is done, the real work starts – getting out into the community and talking to people.” Mrs Baldwin will stand against the Nationals’ Anne Webster for the seat of Mallee.

Options for diners West Wimmera residents will soon have greater choice to eat outdoors with the installation of new facilities across the municipality. West Wimmera Shire Council is using State Government funding to develop and support hospitality business facilities. The government’s Local Councils Outdoor Eating and Entertainment Package program is designed to help businesses as well as brighten streets and activate entertainment experiences. Insufficient resources and delivery hold-ups due to the COVID-19 pandemic delayed provision of outdoor furniture, which the council is now rolling out across the shire. Installations have started in Edenhope and will continue in other towns in coming weeks. Council chief executive David Bezuidenhout said business owners and people in the community had provided positive feedback about the project. “This project has boosted our towns, giving residents and visitors more options when it comes to dining,” he said. “In this climate, people often feel safer dining outdoors and this will give them more opportunity to do so. “To catch up with friends or family in an outdoor environment gives people a chance to meet in a COVID-safe way, while also enjoying the beautiful weather that our part of the world has to offer.” State Government funding also included money for street cleaning at Edenhope and Kaniva, which the council completed late last year.

Service confirms boss

ale Fraser, formerly of Horsham, has officially taken on the role as Grampians Health’s chief executive.

Mr Fraser is based in Ballarat and had been in an interim position since a formal merger between Wimmera Health Care Group, Stawell Regional Health, Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital and Ballarat Health Services in November last year. Grampians Health board chair Bill Brown said Mr Fraser’s appointment was a positive step forward for the group, formed to provide improved quality, accessibility and sustainability of healthcare services ‘closer to home’. “The Grampians Health board has gone through an open and robust market process to find the best person for this position,” Mr Brown said. “We are thrilled that Dale has accepted the role to lead the development and growth of the newest public health service in Victoria. “Community members and staff alike should have great faith that Dale’s substantial experience and skills – particularly in rural Victoria – will guide Grampians Health towards a successful future. “That success includes, but is certainly not limited to, realising the benefits of the amalgamation that created Grampians Health in the first place. “With this appointment we will really start to see Grampians Health come into its own, with a strong lead and clear direction.” Mr Fraser said he was proud to take on the role and would draw on his experience as chief executive at Goulburn Valley Health and Ballarat Health Services, as well as his connections

Dale Fraser across western Victoria to lead the new service. “Bringing together four already well-respected health services into one is a huge task,” he said. “We have learnt so much in our first three months of operation and are already seeing the strengths and opportunities of shared resources and working together. “The ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our communities and services is a prime example of how we have been able to move swiftly to work together as one, ensuring our sites have the support they need during this critical time. “It goes without saying that COVID has also had a huge impact on our staff, and one of our key priorities right now is employee wellbeing. “We are committed to providing meaningful support through wellbeing plans to our Grampians Health staff as this pandemic continues to impact the workforce.

Improve

Mr Fraser said the next steps forward were including understanding on ways to improve and provide more services to the region, particularly in Edenhope,

Stawell, Horsham and Dimboola. “This will reduce the number of people travelling for care and ensure patients can remain close to their support networks and their own familiar environment,” he said. Mr Fraser said the organisation was also recruiting representatives for Horsham, Dimboola, Stawell, Edenhope and Ballarat community reference groups. “These groups will provide a consumer voice to ensure our services are tailored to meet community needs,” he said. “Along with this is our priority to establish professional development opportunities and enhanced career development for our staff across all our Grampians Health sites. Internally we have been developing a shared set of values for Grampians Health. These will be the backbone of the service we provide, the way we work and our commitment to communities.” Mr Fraser said in line with the commitments made at the time of Grampians Health’s establishment, the board had started an extensive planning exercise on a strategic plan for the organisation and clinical services needs of the community. “For the strategic and clinical services planning to be successful, we are looking to our staff and community to actively participate in a series of virtual and face-to-face opportunities over the coming months to provide input on what you see as your health priorities, both in the short term and the long term,” he said. He said people could stay informed and find out ways to contribute to the future of Grampians Health online at www.grampianshealth.org.

Enthusiasm for Horsham role N

ew Horsham Regional Art Gallery director Jane Scott has brought state, national and international experience to her role in the Wimmera.

Ms Scott, who started the position three months ago, said she was looking forward to helping reinvigorate the Horsham district and region’s re-engagement with art and art-based activities. “My aim is to get people back engaged with the gallery, to get visitor numbers up and organise events and activities that people in Horsham will love, want to participate in and get enjoyment from the arts,” she said. Ms Scott has worked in the arts industry for the past 35 years and had leadership roles in a variety of major institutions, events and projects. Her most recent role was curator and co-ordinator of a Flesh After 50 program, dedicated to exploring and challenge negative stereotypes of aging while celebrating and promoting positive images of older women through art. The program culminated in a major exhibition at Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne. Ms Scott said one of the photographic projects she was already working on in Horsham was along similar lines involving 500 district women in promoting body positivity. Ms Scott has had previous director roles with Craft Victoria, TarraWarra Museum of Art at Healesville and Monash Gallery of Art at Wheelers Hill. She also had a two-year stint as Australian cultural attachê in Washington DC and has been a key figure in other public galleries, festivals and programs. Ms Scott said she had been impressed with Horsham Regional Art Gallery and the Wimmera since arriving from Melbourne. “This is a fantastic gallery. It has worldclass environmental conditions for art and is a beautiful building,” she said. “There is no exhibition that we can’t have here, and it is fantastic for a small community. “It has loads of potential that I love.” Ms Scott said she had observed unique

It’s hard to explain but those who live here fully understand it.” Ms Scott said she was gaining a greater appreciation of what was special about the region. “Melbourne-based people often talk about the sky. The light is different in the Wimmera and I now understand why artists are drawn to this area. It is just a beautiful environment to be in,” she said.

Ms Scott said she was looking forward to events, exhibitions and attractions at the Horsham gallery with excitement. “We’re also working and planning for a big Norman Lindsay exhibition and a Sidney Nolan exhibition that’s coming down from National Gallery in Canberra,” she said. Lindsay, who wrote and illustrated Australian children’s literary classic The Magic Pudding, was a diverse, popular, prolific and controversial artist and personality. Nolan, responsible for his famous Ned Kelly series of paintings, was also one of Australia’s leading artists of the 20th Century.

Tourism gold for Grampians G

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

rampians business and industry achievements won recognition from Victorian peers at an annual awards evening this month.

The ‘resilience and innovation’ of tourism businesses during the ‘heartache, struggles and disruption’ of tough COVID-19 restrictions were at the heart of 2021 Victorian Tourism Awards. Grampians Tourism was a finalist in a ‘Host with the Most’ marketing category, acknowledged for its work in strengthening business partnerships in the region. Golton in the Gap, a Halls Gap accomodation provider, won gold in a self-contained accommodation category and Grampians Peaks Walking Company won gold in an adventure-tourism section. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said he was proud of the work his team had done to be a category finalist. “It was a real highlight for us. We were winners just to be a finalist,” he said. “It was great to see Grampians Peaks Walking Company and Golton in the Gap be recognised as well. “They have delivered amazing visitor experiences. “It was important for Grampians businesses to collaborate and work across the industry to develop stronger partnerships throughout COVID-19 disruptions.

“It was a real highlight for us. We were winners just to be a finalist. It was great to see Grampians Peaks Walking Company and Golton in the Gap be recognised” – Marc Sleeman

“Hopefully because of these relationships businesses will be in a good position to recover strongly and develop more collaborations and partnerships throughout this year. “It is great to know the work we have been doing is translating to reduced fragmentation of the industry during such a challenging time.” Mr Sleeman said he was confident Grampians businesses could continue adapting and excelling beyond 2022, but emphasised the importance of continuing this work over the next few months. “With international borders opening, we are on the home straight towards normalisation,” he said. “While we have some exciting marketing campaigns over the next six months, we are really focussed on the supply side of the industry. “Hopefully we can start to address some of the work-force issues that have evolved recently. “When the Grampians is seen as a cohesive region, it is more appealing for outside companies to invest in the area.”

Murtoa students set the standard Murtoa College students Georgia Zolj and Caitlin Funcke, both 17, are looking forward to representing their school as senior captains this year. Both agreed the role was important in helping set the standard as student representatives. Caitlin said being school captain meant ‘helping to the improve the school community’.

Kealy: RATs don’t add up A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Wimmera politician has maintained her belief that a statewide distribution of rapid antigen tests for COVID-19 has been late and inefficient.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said State Government figures for the test distribution remained low and Deputy Premier James Merlino had gone back on his promise of testing twice a week before the school year started. The State Government plans to deliver more than 15.6-million rapid antigen tests to all schools and early childhood education and care services across the state. It also planned for twice-weekly COVID-19 rapid antigen testing for the first four weeks of school term one to help keep teachers, students and children as safe as possible from the disease. Ms Kealy said she was alerted to a lack of RAT tests at her son’s school. “When we picked up his RATs I was told they didn’t have enough – they only had 480 and they needed 730,” she said. But an Education Department ‘senior government spokesperson’ said the State Government had delivered enough RATs by the second day of the school term for every school in the state. Ms Kealy provided figures that

showed schools in the Lowan-Mallee district had received more than 40,000 RAT tests by February 9. Schools included on the February 9 list were: Holy Trinity Lutheran College, 5600; Horsham Primary School, 1750; Horsham Special School, 4200; Horsham West and Haven Primary School, 5950; SS Michael and John’s Primary School, 2800; St Brigid’s College, 3150; Dimboola Memorial Secondary College, 3500; Dimboola Primary School, 1400; St Peter’s Lutheran School Dimboola 1400; Nhill College, 4900; Nhill Lutheran School, 1750; St Patrick’s School Nhill, 1400; Kaniva College, 3500; Jeparit Primary School, 700; Rainbow P-12 College, 2100; and Yaapeet Primary School, 350.

Not convinced Ms Kealy remained unconvinced however, saying the State Government RAT test figures were distorted. “They might say they have distributed that number, but they are bagged in five,” she said. “It still doesn’t add up to what they sent originally before the start of school. “It is great the RATs have been delivered and that means every student can test twice a week, but it should never have taken pop-up media events for the RATs to have come.”

DON’T BE A HERO: Horsham paramedic Phil Jaboor, who swims 1500 metres in the Wimmera River each day, is keen to promote water safety. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Water safety campaign targets men A new State Government advertising campaign will target adult men in a push to reduce drowning deaths across the state. The campaign asks men to not consider themselves an ‘Unsinkable Guy’ after reported government statistics showed 80 percent of drowning deaths in Victoria during the past 10 years involved men aged 25 to 64. The campaign accompanies the launch of a new State Government Water Safety Strategy for 2021-2025 that includes $8.5-million for Life Saving Victoria and $71.5-million to support swimming lessons for primary school children. Horsham paramedic Phil Jaboor, who swims one and a half kilometres

in the Wimmera River daily, said water-safety education continued to be underestimated. “Being both a medical professional and a keen water user means water safety is a major concern,” he said. “Know your limits, especially if you can’t see the bottom in a river or lake. Don’t be a hero.” The new campaign, which started on Sunday, is built on research showing men often underestimate the risk of themselves drowning, despite a tendency to look out for others in similar danger. Research also showed a third of all drowning deaths in Victoria in the past decade involved alcohol. State Minister for Emergency Ser-

vices Jaclyn Symes said she hoped the new campaign would ‘drive drownings to zero’ and encourage people to enjoy activities around the water safely. “We’re urging all Victorians to be alert to potential risks around water so that we can all have a safe and fun summer – but particularly men who tend to underestimate and misjudge the risks to themselves,” she said. “We want all Victorians to enjoy our beautiful waterways, but we also want them all to come home. “The Unsinkable Guy reminds us all that there are still risks around water.”

Limited edition Haval Jolion making its mark

aval will offer its limited-edition Vanta treatment on the Jolion small SUV following the release of a similar, black-themed styling package on its H6 range last month.

The Vanta Jolion is distinguished from its lesser-spec siblings by black exterior highlights, including 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, lower bumper garnishes, door trims and front fog-light bezels. The additions join standard features such as a panoramic sunroof, head-up display, wireless charging pad, dual LED driver displays and Comfort-Tek leather upholstery. The Jolion, which replaced the H2 nameplate in Haval’s growing SUV range last year, offers a long list of standard safety active equipment, including autonomous emergency

Available exclusively in Mars Red metallic paint and with production limited to just 500 units, the Haval Jolion Vanta will be available nationally from $34,485 drive-away. The special variant sits atop the Jolion range and is priced from $3495 more than the Jolion Ultra, on which it is based.

braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, lane-keep and departure warning, traffic-sign recognition, as well as a 360-degree camera system. The Haval Jolion is unrated by the Australian New Car Assessment Program, ANCAP, and European New Car Assessment Program, EuroNCAP. Like all passenger vehicles offered by GWM Haval, the Jolion Vanta is backed by a seven-year unlimited-kilometre warranty with five years’ roadside assist and capped-price servicing. The Jolion rides on a 2700mm

wheelbase and is powered by the same 110kW-210Nm 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that powered the superseded H2 model. Power is sent exclusively to the front wheels via a new seven-speed dualclutch automatic transmission. Compared with the vehicle it replaces, the Jolion is 107mm longer, 27mm wider and 91mm shorter in height, while its wheelbase is 140mm longer. GWM Haval has sold 524 examples of the Jolion nationally to the end of January, the model placing ninth in the hard-fought small SUV under $40,000 segment.

Year-to-date sales for the segment show the MG ZS well ahead of the pack with 1588 unit sales, or 16.4 percent of the market. The popular Chinese-made model outperformed the Mazda CX-30, 14.4 percent, Mitsubishi ASX, 10.6 percent, Kia Seltos, 9.7 percent, Hyundai Kona, 9.2 percent, Toyota C-HR, 7.8 percent, Subaru XV 7.1 percent, and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, 7.0 percent. The segment top 10 is rounded out by the Honda HR-V with 4.1 percent unit sales. – Matt Brogan

New era for Milanese marque lfa Romeo has unveiled its first all-new model since 2016 in the shape of the Tonale premium small SUV, which will compete with models such as the Audi Q3, BMW X1, MercedesBenz GLA and Volvo XC40 when it goes on sale in Australia early next year.

Although it is officially the first new Alfa Romeo model to be introduced since the formation of the Stellantis Group early in 2021, it is not built on shared underpinnings. Instead, it is based on a modified version of the Fiat 500X-500L, Jeep Compass and Renegade platform. Fans of the Alfa Romeo brand will be relieved to see the production version of the long-awaited Tonale is not dramatically watered down, stylistically speaking, from the concept version that debuted at the Geneva Show in 2019. At 4530mm in length, 1840mm in width and 1600mm tall, the Tonale has a low-slung silhouette, with a distinct ‘GT Line’ that runs along the waistrail from the rear to the headlights, short overhangs, sport bumpers and ‘teledial’ wheels available in 17to 20-inch in size. The newcomer is instantly recognisable by its ‘3+3’ Full-LED Adaptive Matrix headlights, which incorpo-

rate DRLs, dynamic turn signals and ‘Welcome and Goodbye’ functions and work in conjunction with adaptive driving beam and glare-free high beam segmented technology. At the rear, the combined tail-lamp and light bar LED module echoes the design cues of the headlights and forms a sine curve that fully wraps around the Italian newcomer’s tailgate. The sporty theme continues inside where the ‘telescopic’ instrument panel behind the three-spoke sports steering wheel houses a 12.3-inch TFT screen, complemented by an Androidpowered 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment array, which includes inter

alia, navigation, Alexa voice assistant and a 360-degree camera view. Overthe-air updates and numerous Alfa Connect Service apps are supported. Other conveniences offered include the new DNA drive-mode selector, which juts out from one of the uprights above the centre console, dualzone climate control, ventilated and heated front sports seats, LED ambient light, 14-speaker audio system by Harman Kardon, wireless charging pad, a ‘semi-automatic parking’ system, reverse camera and an electronically operated tailgate. The new model also marks a significant departure for Alfa Romeo.

Although the Tonale will be available with 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 1.3-litre turbo-diesel engines, such derivatives will only be offered in selected markets. Instead, petrol-electric powertrains dominate the line-up. From launch, the Tonale will be offered in hybrid and plug-in hybrid guise with a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine combined with a 48-volt 15kW and 55Nm ‘P2’ electric motor. The entry-grade petrol-electric mildhybrid produces 97kW-240Nm and drives the Tonale’s front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Mid-tier variants feature a var-

iable-geometry turbocharger to produce peak power of 119kW, while the range-topping plug-in hybrid Q4 uses a six-speed torque converter transmission and has a combined power output of 205kW. In addition to featuring all-wheel drive, the Plug-in Hybrid Q4 is equipped with a 15.5kWh battery. Alfa Romeo claims the top-of-therange Tonale has an electric-only range of up to 80km in the city cycle, a 0-100kmh acceleration time of 6.2 seconds and that a full battery charge will take 2.5 hours when using a 7.4kW fast charger. The newcomer is also said to have 50:50 weight distribution and ‘the most direct steering ratio in the segment’. It rides on independent MacPherson suspension with frequency selective damping technology. An electronic limited-slip differential is standard, while stopping power comes courtesy of a brake-by-wire setup with ventilated discs and Brembo four-piston calipers at the front. Apart from being equipped with the usual active and passive safety features, the Tonale is available with various advanced driver assistance systems. The Alfa Romeo Tonale will be manufactured at Stellantis’ Pomigliano d’Arco facility in Italy. – Mike Fourie

Nissan set to axe V8 Patrol N

issan looks set to scrap its petrol V8-powered Patrol as early as next year.

A new report suggests the Japanese marque will install a twin-turbocharged V6 in ‘Y63’ models when the seventh generation of the Japanese firm’s upper large SUV makes its debut. According to a United States based dealer, an internal briefing on the upcoming Armada – the nameplate under which the Patrol is sold in North America – detailed a more efficient twin-turbo V6 in place of the longserving VK56VD-series naturally aspirated 5.6-litre V8. If true, the news means the full-size, but low-volume, Titan pick-up will be the only Nissan model to continue with the direct-injected and all-alloy V8 mill. Australian Patrols feature petrol V8 power exclusively. Nissan deleted the turbo-diesel engine from its range when the Y61series Patrol was retired in 2016. At this stage, there appears to be no plans to reintroduce an oil-burning engine into the next-generation Patrol range.

The current seven-seat Patrol wagon, which was updated for 2022 model year, has been powered by Nissan’s 298kW-560Nm V8 since the model was introduced a decade ago. It has subsequently struggled to match the sales volume of its long-serving Toyota rival. To the end of January, Nissan sold just 115 examples of the Patrol in Australia compared with Toyota’s tally of 730 LandCruiser wagons. While it is unclear as to exactly what engine will replace the Patrol’s V8, it is understood the now 14-yearold 3.8-litre VR30DDTT-series V6 – itself an evolution of the VQ-series V6, which dates to 1994 – might be pressed into service. The engine, which currently serves in the Nissan Z and Infiniti Q50 and Q60 models, also powers the current Nissan GT-R in VR38DETT guise. In that application, the unit offers up to 529kW of power and 780Nm of torque – a significant uptick over the Patrol’s current specifications. And while the possibility of a balltearing GT-R V6 in the Patrol are slim, it is conceivable that a high output V6 with some form of electric hybridisa-

If the US-based report is to be believed, Nissan will soon join a raft of manufacturers in abandoning V8 power.

As well as Toyota, Ford now also offers turbocharged V6 power in its Expedition, while Jeep will soon offer a turbocharged six-cylinder in its

similarly sized Wagoneer. The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance announced it was moving away from thermal engines globally as consumer focus shifted towards electrification, although large vehicles such as the Patrol were notably absent from the company’s ‘2030 roadmap’. Just 18 months after announcing its new co-operation business model, Renault Group, Nissan Motor Company Limited and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation unveiled a set of common projects that the trio says will accelerate and shape its shared future towards the end of the decade. The roadmap focuses heavily on the mobility value chain, pure electric vehicles and connected mobility. The group says it will expand the use of common platforms to 80 percent by 2026 while, at the same time, increasing its research into solid-state battery technology. The Alliance partners say they plan to invest $36.6 billion over the next five years in support of its electrification program.

A ‘legendary vehicle’ N

issan Australia, which achieved the highest number of Patrol wagon sales since 2008 last year, has rolled out a mildly refreshed version of its upper large SUV for the 2022 model year.

Now priced from $82,160 plus onroad costs, an increase of $1000, the MY22 Patrol ushers in new design changes plus a new frontal emblem and fender vents. The changes follow the model’s last minor revision in 2020, which introduced a refreshed exterior, suspension, an updated colour palette and additional safety technologies. Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson said the Nissan Patrol had always been a legendary vehicle in Australia, and that legendary status only increased in 2021. “It’s a testament to the Y62 Patrol that its strongest year on record in Australia coincided with the model’s 70th anniversary,” he said.

Nissan has sold more than two million units of the model. The Patrol remains mechanically unaltered. It is powered by Nissan’s 298kW-560Nm 5.6-litre quad-cam V8, which is paired exclusively to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Its braked towing capacity is unchanged. Over and above an Intelligent 4x4 system with electronic mode selection and a rear Helical limited-slip differential, the Patrol comes with an off-road monitor, hill-descent control and hill-start assist. The model garnered 115 sales in Australia last month; which represented a 13.6 percent share of the SUV upper large under $100k segment. Its rival Toyota LandCruiser accounted for the remaining 86.4 percent of category sales with unit sales of 730. Both entrants’ monthly sales fell over 50 percent compared to the same month last year. – Matt Brogan

Answers: 1. Lithium. Lithium has a variety of industrial uses including in batteries. 2. Umami is one of the five basic tastes and is the taste of glutamate, an amino acid that is one of the building blocks of protein. Science identified receptors for umami, often described as ‘the meaty, savory deliciousness that deepens flavour’, on the human tongue in 2002. The other basic tastes are sweet, sour, salty and bitter. 3. Bermuda Triangle or Devil’s Triangle. It is in the western part of the North Atlantic ocean where many aircraft and ships have mysteriously disappeared. 4. Scurvy. It is caused by a lack of vitamin C and often occurs in people with a lack of fruit and vegetables in their diet. 5. C. 12. They are a simple form of eyes called ocelli or stemmata. These probably only sense light and dark, and do not distinguish shapes or colour. Most caterpillars have six on each side of their head. Some species have 10 or 14. 6. The ‘king of rock ’n’ roll’ was 42. 7. Bioluminescence. Light emitted by a bioluminescent organism is produced by energy released from chemical reactions occurring inside or ejected by the organism. The phenomenon causes oceans to glow. 8. Blue. 9. Boroque. 10. Andy Warhol. Of the three shots she fired two missed, but the third went through both lungs, his spleen, stomach, liver and oesophagus. Warhol then underwent five hours of surgery.

Shoulder Joint Problems Is the shoulder joint really a joint? Not really, it’s a shallow cavity with the A/C joint on top. The shoulder has a wonderful range of movement. If you think of a cup and saucer, the hip is a bit like a cup (a ball and socket joint) and the shoulder is more like the saucer, shallow with a small lip on one side. The average person can move their shoulder in a number of ranges of motion: up, down, in, out, large circles and up behind your back, or in your case, maybe not. The shoulder is supported by 16 muscles and they’re a bit like a union, one out all out. Also, it has close association with the neck and upper back. So, when there is a problem with the shoulder as chiropractors, we often see locked up muscles in the shoulder region, the shoulder joint not moving as freely as it should and tight, locked up upper back and neck, shoulder blade and clavicle. So how does a Chiropractor help? With adjustment to move the jammed-up areas in the neck, upper back, and shoulder, corrective posture and sometimes massage, you can see a huge improvement. This is also relevant care if you have had shoulder surgery or a fracture in your arm which means you haven’t been able to move it properly. Getting all these areas to move better means that any physio or other treatment, will work better with better results.

77 Leahy St – With blocks of land in Nhill becoming very scarce, here’s your opportunity to invest for the future ahead. Measuring approx. 1000m2 with a great 20m frontage onto Leahy Street, and depth of 50m. Sewerage runs along the back of the block & water mains along Leahy Street, however no services are yet connected. Don’t be looking in years to come for a site to build to be disappointed you can’t find something available/suitable.

30 Woorak Ni Ni Lorquon Rd – Unique opportunity to purchase a former abattoir site located at Glenlee. The site has not been operational for many years, therefore no warranty can be given on the status of any equipment, or condition of the buildings. The land is made up of 21 titles, however only 12 are transferable to the purchaser making up 5.86 acres. In 1993 1.5 million was spent on the property, plant & equipment, there is potential for the buyer make use of the existing buildings rather than developing a new operation.

20 Anderson Ave – What a great spot to build your new home (subject to council approval). This fantastic corner block has a frontage to Anderson Ave of approx 39.3m and an approx depth along Victoria St of 67.4m, you have options on how to face the home to best suit you. The property has power, water, phone running past. No sewerage in town so a septic system would have to be installed. The block is zoned township by the Buloke shire and is flat and level. Come and enjoy what the Mallee region has to offer with the Murray River only about 45 minutes away. There are no restrictive covenants on the block either.

8 Lake St – This solid 2 bedroom stonewall cottage is in need of major renovations to restore the home to its once former glory. The property features functional floorplan with two large living spaces, 2 large bedrooms, open kitchen/dining area and combined shower and laundry space. Outside the home has updated double garage, front undercover veranda and a fully fenced rear yard with side lane access. The Vendor has some items he has already purchased for the project, which will be included with the sale.

New Clothes Col. 3:1-17

Who doesn’t enjoy new clothes, the feeling of getting and putting on something new, the feeling of a change and to look different? I think we all do, whether it is a shirt, a hat or even shoes. Sometimes we may hear the word “renew” which means changing into something new and different for the better. When we look at God’s word it gives us an analogy of putting off the old self and putting on the new, almost like getting rid of the old layers of clothing and receiving brand new ones. This of course can be hard; we do sometimes like staying with the old, old habits or desires, even when we know we need to change. My wife will tell you that I had a cardigan that I really loved wearing; it was woollen, very warm and comfortable. The only issue was it started to get tatty and holes in it. One day I went looking for it and found it was gone; it had been “filed away” by my wife. I did miss it but I realised it was time for something new. The greatest example of what I am saying is a butterfly. It changes completely from a caterpillar to become something new. It morphs, grows wings and then can fly. God wants to do this to us. He offers us a new life, a chance to put off the old self and place on the new, are we willing to do this? If so simply ask Him. Captain Greg Turnbull, The Salvation Army, Ararat / Stawell

Curnow’s Blues farewells blues C

BOX ONE BY PETER CARTER

urnow’s Blues for Nhill greyhound trainer Andrea Gurry has had a form turnaround that Michael Voss in his new head-coaching role with Carlton Football Club could only dream about.

Curnow’s Blues, named after the two Curnow brothers playing for Carlton, has turned in three of the best runs in Horsham this year. Curnow’s Blues has simply broken his competitors’ hearts with blinding early speed during the past three weeks, setting up unassailable leads in the first 200 metres of his races. He has broken the magical 23-second time barrier, running 22.95, and went so close to breaking the magical 10-second first split of 10.0, which in the five years since the Horsham track has been re-built has been broken only once. The remarkable part of all this is Curnow’s Blues won his first race start at Sale way back in September 2020. He started a further 13 times without winning before the first of three serious injuries struck. Curnow’s Blues dropped two back muscles and did not race again for close to six months. He had one start back and

COMEBACK: Andrew Gurry’s Curnow’s Blues in action. dislocated a toe and missed another three months. On completion of his second rehab program Andrea Gurry decided to start the dog back at Warrnambool. This time it had a serious fall but escaped without any serious injuries. Andrea was wondering whether the dog was ever going to have any luck. His race record had gone from one start for one win to 15 starts for one win. Three weeks and three wins later the record now looks very healthy, with the dog now having four wins from 19 starts. It is a credit to both Curnow’s Blues and Andrea for putting in nine months of intensive rehabilitation to bring the dog back better than ever with a bright future. Horsham Greyhound Club is embarking on its most exciting time of the year with heats of the Group Two Horsham Cup on February 25 and the final on Friday, March 4.

Bald wins prestigious gold cup Horsham association croquet stalwart Ken Bald continues to bring home the silverware, winning the Victorian Croquet Association Gold Cup in Melbourne. Bald, 77, who plays with Kalimna Park Croquet Club in Horsham, did not lose a game in his gold cup challenge at the Victorian Croquet Centre. The former Australian croquet team player said he wanted more people to ‘come down to Kalimna Park, support the club and try their skills at association croquet’. “It is like playing snooker on a big outdoor green,” he said. “You have to think two and three shots ahead.” Bald said the clubroom door was always open and new players welcome.

Friend plays tall for Saints S

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

t Kilda AFLW debutant and former Horsham Saints footballer Ella Friend kick-started her football career last week, taking her spot in the side’s back six against West Coast Eagles.

Friend said she credited her time at Horsham Saints and Ballarat Rebels for providing her a good foundation for a smooth step up to elite level.

“It was a pretty awesome experience. I was a bit nervous beforehand but once the game started it all felt as normal as ever,” she said. “I have been playing since I was five, so it has been a pretty big build-up to get here. “It was a bit of relief to make a start and play my first game.” Friend said she was happy to contribute to the Saints’ campaign in any position on the ground. “Wherever they put me, I’ll dig in and give it my all,” she said.

“I want to be a part of the Saints in the years ahead and hopefully chase some premiership success. “Bianca Jakobsson is someone I really admire at the club and she has really helped me settle into the backline group. “It is quite a new position for me and she has been fantastic in showing me the ins and outs of the defensive structure.” The Saints, who played their first game in 17 days because of COVID-19 within the squad, lost

to West Coast by two points in a goalless second-half slog. Friend maintained her spot for the Saints’ round-six game against Brisbane on Sunday. However, it was not enough for them to claim their first win of the season, losing 26-31. The Saints are last on the ladder after their disrupted COVID-19 start to the season and remain winless after five games.

Club welcomes coaches Horsham District Football Netball League club Harrow-Balmoral has celebrated the appointment of new netball coaches to take the club through the 2022 season. The club appointed A Grade coach Kirby Knight and B Grade coach Kaddie Cother in a netball coach unveiling. The club also selected under-13s coach Penny Dunstall, under-15s coach Janelle Knight and under17s coach Mel Scott to manage the development of junior talent this season.

Wednesday, February 16, 2022

Harrow-Balmoral netball director Tim Leeming said a ‘great’ turnout welcomed the Roos’ new coaches as the sides hit the training track for the first time this year. “There is a real buzz around the netball teams and we are really excited about our wonderful line-up of coaches and the enthusiasm around the whole club,” he said. Harrow-Balmoral A Grade netball side finished third in an interrupted 2021 season and will be hoping to better that with a top-two finish in IN CHARGE: From left, 2022 Harrow-Balmoral under-13s coach Penny Dunstall, under-15s coach Janelle Knight and under-17s coach Mel Scott. 2022.

Sport Gottaluv Pegus Mark Pegus completed a successful debut raid of Adelaide riches on Saturday when stablefavourite Gottaluvjimmy, $20, surged clear to win a benchmark 60 event at Morphettville. The five-year-old son of Jimmy Creed raced wide with cover throughout the 1100-metre contest and was strong to the line late, overcoming race favourite Damascus Moment, $2.25. He then held off a fast-finishing Grandma Gail, $41. It was the gelding’s second win this preparation, following on from his first-up victory at his home track back in early December. The Stawell-trained galloper has been racing well in stronger company in Melbourne and the drop in grade ensured Pegus’ first runner at Morphettville came home a winner. “He’s been racing out of his grade in benchmark 70s but running well,” Pegus said. “If you really looked at his form it reads a lot better than the numbers suggest. His didn’t have much luck in his last run at Stawell on January 7 and he wasn’t far off Asfoora that ran third in a Group Three on the weekend. “In his last run at The Valley on January 29, Joshy Richards jumped off and said he wished he had some room, so we knew we were around the mark.” And where to from here? “There’s a heap of races in the next two to three weeks for him, some sprint series qualifiers,” Pegus said. “The 1100-metre benchmark 64 at Ballarat in a few weeks looks the best option.” That race will be on Tuesday, March 8, and we can only dream of getting double-figure odds about him again. “I couldn’t believe the price,” Pegus quipped. Nor could we! – Josh Miller

Blair honoured A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Horsham wheelchair basketballer and Australian Paralympic athlete has tied for a prestigious basketball award for his 2021 on-court success. Seasoned Australian Rollers’ player Jannik Blair and team-mate Tom O’Neil-Thorne won the Sandy Blythe medal, an honour given to an Australian men’s national wheelchair basketball player of the year, as voted by their peers. The award is named after Australian wheelchair basketballer Robert ‘Sandy’ Blythe, OAM, who played in four Paralympics and captained the gold-medal-winning Australian side at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Australian Rollers, considered a medalchance at Tokyo 2021 Paralympic Games, finished fifth. Blair said he did not expect to win the award and thought the ‘clear’ winner was his medal-sharing Australian team-mate. “I thought he had an incredible tournament and took a really big step forward in Tokyo,” he said. “He is an up-and-comer and has been one of our key payers this year. “He did have a breakout tournament at the 2018 World Championships, but I thought he was well and truly our best player of 2021.” Blair said he has a close friendship with O’Neil-Thorne and to share the award with him was ‘something special’. Blair and O’Neill-Thorne were also teammates at Spanish team Bilbao BSR. “It is always an honour to be recognised

by your peers, coaching staff and the entire wheelchair basketball program. But to share it with him was even more special,” Blair said. “Tom and I are really close on and off the court. “He is a guy I most enjoyed playing with and one of the guys I most enjoy hanging out with off the court. “We have had a great history together and I look forward for more to come. To add sharing the highest individual accolade in wheelchair basketball to all that is pretty special.” Blair lives and plays in Germany for successful German club RSV Lahn-Dill. “I arrived straight after Tokyo. We have won 12 games from 12 so far this season, which is great,” he said. “Unfortunately, the first few rounds of the Euro Cup were cancelled, so will have to wait a until later in the season to get a look at some of the better non-German clubs out there.” Blair, 30, said he originally planned to continue competing until the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles, however a successful bid by Brisbane to host the 2032 games had ‘changed things’. “That really complicated things because it is every athlete’s dream to play in a home Paralympics,” he said. “To have that opportunity would be incredible. I will be 40 in 2032 and certainly at end of my playing career, if I am still playing by then. “But if my body can hold on until then – I am still loving and enjoying the sport so I will play if I can.”

Horsham Hockey Club promotions officer Launa Schilling said she wished there was a program like Hookin2Hockey when she was a child. “I have been playing hockey since the mid 1970s, when I was 12,” she said. “I would have played earlier but back then they did not have an under-12 program. “This is one reason why I am passionate about pushing our program to give as many kids as

possible a taste of a sport that is not mainstream.” Horsham Hockey Club will host a come-and-try day for all ages at Horsham College Community Oval on Dimboola Road from 11am on Sunday and encourages people to attend. The event will be followed by a free barbeque, zooper doopers and drinks. People can call Ms Schilling on 0408 451 762 for more information. – Nick Ridley

Swifts

in 2022

Connection to community key I

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

n the truest sense, Swifts were a mid-table Horsham District Football Netball League club in 2021.

In a 12-team competition, the A Grade netball side finished sixth and the senior football side seventh. With plenty of room to either climb up, or slide down the ladder, Swifts have invested in club personnel and facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure their club chooses the former. Incoming president Peta Folkes said the club’s focus in 2022 would be on expanding the partnership between club and community. “Our focus for 2022 has been inclusion, with our members and our community getting involved in some way,” she said. “This year we have had more support than ever come forward, with people putting their hand up to take on small jobs around the club. “It’s been rewarding to see so many people wanting to help in any way they can to make the 2022 season a success. “Swifts are working hard to be a club of choice for people, where we focus on inclusivity and encourage our members to be their best both on and off the court or field.” Ms Folkes said the Baggies were

also looking forward to the completion of the club’s new netball courts this year. She said the club had appointed a wellbeing officer who would work with members of the club to ensure it remained aligned to the community. Senior football coach Brett Hargreaves said enthusiasm for the new season was at a high, after COVID-19 disruptions ended the 2021 season early. “We have been training since late November last year and it has been the best preseason I have been involved with,” he said. “The number of players we have had at training and their enthusiasm for the team has been second-to-none. “I think everyone is happy to be hanging out again as well. We are all looking forward to playing together again.” Hargreaves said a number of recruits had joined the side in the off-season. “We were looking to bolster the midfield this year,” he said. “We had a few injuries last season, which tested out depth in that area. “It is so important to have a good engine room to get you through the year. “There will be some under-17s who will come up and play some senior footy, which is always encouraging.

Shade Sails –

“We will still be a young side, but the growth our younger players had in the past 12 months places us ahead of the pack with how much experience those guys have gathered.” Hargreaves said he wanted the competition to remember his side as ‘well-structured’. “Hopefully our opposition will know us as a team that plays our positions well and can use the ball effectively,” he said. “Overall, we want to be a well-structured football team. “Things have come in leaps and bounds in the past year so we are looking forward to a great year.” New A and B Grade netball coach Mel Beal said COVID-19 had seen management ‘pivot’ in their approach to maintaining a work-netball flexibility. “Swifts are really keen this season to try and make netball work around all players,” she said. “It’s been a tough few years and we really understand that. “We know how tough it’s been for our players throughout the pandemic, with work and family commitments all having to come into play when deciding on playing sport. “We’ve got a real positive upbeat vibe and are looking forward to having fun as the season approaches.”

Achieving success from within BY MICHAEL SCALZO

hill and District Sporting Club believes its culture and enthusiasm will be the base for it achieving future success.

The club’s senior football team finished second last on the Wimmera league ladder last year and netball side dead last. However, club leaders are confident they are laying the foundations of long-term success and stability by pursuing success from within club ranks, rather than from outsourcing expensive talent. Club president Dom Colombera said for the Tigers, it was all about player retention. “Clubs can get burned by big offers to players coming from outside the club,” he said. “We want a good family culture, which I think we do have. Even if we were not as successful as we would have liked on the court and field, around the club things are ticking over nicely. “We are certainly building on having an amazing off-field culture and environment. “We do have the feelers out for the right people to join us, but people who will help us build on the culture we have developed. It has been a tougher year for finding those players though.” Senior netball coach Charlotte

Foulds echoed Mr Colombera’s sentiment. “We have always been known for having a big membership base, with social events that extend to both young and older members,” she said. “It is a really great club to be a part of and as the right people come to the club, hopefully we will become more and more competitive.” Foulds said A and B grade sides had lost a couple of players since the 2021 season and would not field an under17s side again in 2022. “We are always looking for new players and we would love to see more faces around the club,” she said. “While we train hard, we have fun and are a cohesive club unit, something we hope people want to come and be a part of.” Foulds said the A Grade netball side was known for being competitive and tough to beat in the first half of games in 2021. She said she felt other teams were impressed with her side’s first-half competitiveness and the 2022 season would be about sustaining that effort for a full four quarters of netball. Senior netball tryouts started this week. Former Wimmera league commissioner and incoming coach Trevor Albrecht has the senior football club reins in 2022.

IN CONTROL: Nhill senior netball coach Charlotte Foulds takes aim at her second year in charge in 2022. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER David Flood, former Essendon key position player, Hawthorn Hawks development coach and Vic Metro senior coach, joins Albrecht at Nhill for the new season as assistant coach. Albrecht said during his time as league commissioner, he had kept an eye on Nhill footballers from a

distance and liked the enthusiasm the young senior players had for developing themselves. “The club didn’t bring in external players last season, which gave these young players an opportunity to gather some senior football experience,” he said.

“We have been training for a while in 2022 and their enthusiasm is second to none. I have not seen anything like this. They never won a game last year but still, the core of the team is here. “They defend really well, so it is all about incorporating an offensive side as well.” Albrecht said the side’s training sessions were about training players to think for themselves and for each player to be confident in using their own unique attributes as a feature of play. “As a team we want to use our hands and move the ball quickly. We are not an exceptionally quick side, but once they get the ball on the outside, I know they will be a hard team to beat,” he said. “The group has been logging its training programs during off-training nights, with a small group of older players leading the way in this area. “The whole group has taken a more professional edge to preparing for 2022. “Some of our talented junior players will probably also play senior football early in the year, which is great.” Albrecht said while the side had not attracted players from outside the club this year, the club unity and drive were more important than sacrificing junior talent and opportunities for externally derived success.

Hornets take glory

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

orsham Hornets men’s side is Country Basketball League south-west conference champion.

The team won its grand final against Portland Coasters on Saturday night, taking the title, 87-80, in front of a full house. The Hornets took a tough grand-final route, playing their first final a long way from home. However, they met Portland with a home court advantage and a parochial Horsham home crowd cheering them on. Coach Scott Benbow said while he was nervous before the match, he was ultimately more excited. “We walked in and saw that amazing home crowd. We knew it was a full house in there for the match,” he said. “A few of us had responsibilities with the junior tournament that was going on at the same time, so it meant we had something to occupy our minds with,” he said. “It meant we weren’t sitting around

thinking about the match. That would have made it worse for us.” Portland started strongly and got the jump on the Hornets in the first quarter, taking the lead 27-22. But the Hornets flipped the score-line by the end of the second, heading to the half-time break six points up. Benbow said the home crowd became louder during the second quarter as the Hornets took charge. “We hit a couple of good shots and then the crowd got loud. That home-crowd advantage came to the fore for us,” he said. “By this point we really started taking it to Portland. We played with more pace, got the match-ups right, adjusted and applied great defensive pressure.” The second-quarter performance gave the Hornets a good buffer for a tight third and fourth quarters. “With three minutes left during the fourth quarter, it was really anyone’s game,” Benbow said. A late-game foul gave Hornets a freeshot to close the door on Portland’s chances.

“It was amazing. Just bloody amazing,” Benbow said. “There were a couple of clutch moments that our guys really nailed. To take the win like that – it was such an amazing game.” Matty Lloyd was most valuable player for the match, but Benbow said it could have been ‘three or four’ guys who deserved the accolade. “We got together after the game, later that night, to reflect on it all,” Benbow said. “We sat around on the court after everyone had gone and just thought, ‘what have we just done here?’. “There will be lots of memories made from this weekend. It was all so special.” Benbow said the team owed a ‘thankyou’ to all who supported them this season. “A huge thanks to people behind the scenes who have helped us. Especially, Vivian Hiscock, Rebecca McIntyre and Jon Fitzgerald – they were all so supportive and it is great to have them with us,” he said.

Junior tournament a win BY MICHAEL SCALZO

orsham basketball leaders are basking in the success of Horsham Amateur Basketball Association’s first junior interassociation tournament in three years.

More than 90 teams from north and western Victoria battled it out over three days for premiership titles in various junior categories at the weekend. The tournament’s premiers were: Under-12 boys division one – Mildura; under-12 boys division two – Swan Hill; under-12 girls division one – Colac; under-12 girls division two – Colac; under-14 boys division one – Warrnambool; under-14 boys division two – Mildura; under-14 girls division one – Hamilton; under-14 girls division two – Terang; under-16 boys division one – Horsham; under-16 boys division two – Mildura; under-16 girls division one – Horsham; under-16 girls division two – Warrnambool; under-18 boys division one – Mildura; under-18 boys division two – Terang. Tournament director Amanda Munyard said it was a sensational weekend. “The entire weekend was sensational; it was unbelievable how many people came through the doors

and the energy it generated in Horsham. It was such an incredible weekend,” she said. “The town was packed and so were the outlying towns and courts that helped put on the tournament. “I know the basketball-court canteens in places including Dimboola and Warracknabeal, that hosted some games, were busy all day.”

Mrs Munyard said having the Country Basketball League grand finals on the same weekend as the junior tournament only added to the ‘electric’ atmosphere. “It was an incredible weekend for Horsham basketball. I think the whole thing might have inspired a whole new generation of future basketballers,” she said. DETERMINED: Horsham junior basketballers were out in force contesting Horsham Basketball Association’s junior inter-association tournament at the weekend.

Blue Panthers in mix BY DEAN LAWSON

hile Rupanyup-Minyip sits out a Horsham Cricket Association bye this week, it remains a critical part of an equation unfolding in A Grade competition.

The Blue Panthers, on the bottom of the five-team ladder, have forced their way into finals contention and will look on as more-than-interested spectators at what unfolds this weekend. The Dunmunkle combine produced the upset of the season against Noradjuha-Toolondo last week, is on equal points with fourth-placed West Wimmera and now breaths down the neck of nose-diving Jung Tigers. There are only three home-andaway rounds remaining in the season and it remains unknown which one of the five will miss the play-off. The competition switched back to 45-over-a-side fixtures after a string of T20 games and it immediately paid dividends for RupanyupMinyip. It bowled over the Bullants by making 7-194 at home at Minyip and then found the visitors short of their ground at 8-142 at the close of play. Rising young talent Lachie

Weidemann was the star in the Blue Panthers batting effort, top-scoring with 55 and sharing a solid partnership with Daniel Schaper, 39. Dylan Eats made 27 and Connor Weidemann also chimed in with 22. Noradjuha-Toolondo initially responded strongly, Justtin Combe, 14, and Josh Beddison, 31, sharing a 41-run opening stand and then Matt Combe making 33. But the restrictive efforts from the likes of Caeleb Leith, 2-11 from nine overs, strangled the Bullants in their chase. The result, while critical in a pre-finals build-up, has also provided Noradjuha-Toolondo with a reminder of the vagaries of cricket and more of a tonic than a dagger in the heart. This doesn’t augur well for its opponents this week, Jung Tigers. The Tigers are struggling and poor post-Christmas results are whittling away at foundations the team set early in the season. The Tigers found themselves defending 164 against West Wimmera at Horsham City Oval with veteran Chris Walter rescuing the innings with 45 while working with Tyler Puls, 23, and Brett Jensz with an early 26. Nathan Alexander was the West Wimmera destroyer, capturing

5-28 and ensuring the Tigers failed to get further batting traction. West Wimmera, which takes on Homers in another huge game at Nhill’s Davis Park this weekend, reeled in the target with six wickets down in the 43rd over. Liam Preston, 49, and Mitch Dahlenburg, 46, were the leading chasers and Austin Smith, 25, was still at the crease on confirmation of the result. West Wimmera players will be determined to keep RupanyupMinyip at bay but will find enterprising second-placed Homers a challenging opponent. This week: Noradjuha-Toolondo v Jung Tigers at Horsham City Oval, West Wimmera v Homers, Rupanyup-Minyip, bye. Last week: West Wimmera 6-165 (L. Preston 49, M. Dahlenburg 46, A. Smith 25no, J. Mock 3-21) d Jung Tigers 164 (C. Walter 45, B. Jensz 26; N. Alexander 5-28), Rupanyup-Minyip 7-194 (L. Weidemann 55, D. Schaper 39, D. Eats 27; T. Caccaviello 3-28) d Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants 8-142 (M. Combe 33, J. Beddison 31). Ladder: Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants 66 points, 1.40 percent; Homers 48, 1.14; Jung Tigers 36, 0.85; West Wimmera 33, 1.00; Rupanyup-Minyip 33, 0.72.

STAYING IN FRONT: Grampians Cricket Association’s James Phillips winds up during an inter-association clash against Horsham association at Horsham City Oval. Grampians maintained its edge over its north-west rivals, bowling them out for 132 and then passing the target nine wickets down in the last overs of the game. Jarrod Blandford shone for the winners with 44 in the middle order, Nic Baird made 35 and Matt Heffer captured 3-18. For Horsham, Jake Leith top-scored with 42 and spinner Chaminda Gamage captured 4-13. In representative pathway cricket, Western Waves, featuring Horsham association players Jett Hopper and Lachie Weidemann, won an under-18 Victorian Country Cricket League title. The Waves, 9-205, with Hopper making 19 and Weidemann capturing 1-7, beat North East Country, 140, at Bendigo. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

The Hawks lost both James Phillips and Shaun Allen before passing Chalambar’s score and James Arney registered an unbeaten 65. Despite the game being on turf, all bowlers struggled. At Stawell’s Central Park, Youth Club batted to reach a par score of 6-152 against Pomonal with Nic Baird, 29, Deaken Hemley, 24 and Matt Healy, 23, all getting starts but failing to capitalize. Lachy Dalkin and John Thewlis each took two wickets. Faced with the task of scoring four runs an over the Tigers batsmen succumbed for 119 due to the work of Harvey Evans, 3-29 and Baird 3-18. The win left the Clubbers comfortably in third spot on the ladder with challenging matches against Swifts-Great Western and the Hawks to come. Swifts-Great Western won the toss and batted at Halls Gap against Halls Gap and registered 225 from its 40 overs. Young gun Jack Cann recorded his first A Grade half-century with 59 and Will Clough, 35, and Sam Cocks, 32, contributed to the score. In reply, the Gappers were all out for 86 off just 24 of the 40 overs. Will Clough completed a fine game with 4-23. A penultimate round on Saturday sees SwiftsGreat Western playing Youth Club at Central Park, Pomonal hosting Buangor-Tatyoon, and Halls Gap at home to Chalambar. This is the weekend the Combine has organised a reunion of players who played for either Swifts or Great Western in the period from 1985 to 1995. Club officials have been overwhelmed by the response and are expecting more than 50 people

to attend. Unfortunately two ex-players who were coming from Western Australia are prevented by the continuing lockdown there. Youth Club would like nothing better than to topple the Combine in front of the ex-players. If Baird, Jarrod Illig and Matt Healy can get among the runs, and bowlers Healy, Baird and Evans are on song, a win is not out of the question. Pressure will be on Sam Cocks, Eckel brothers Tom and Jesse, Will Clough and Matt Heffer and others to perform in front of yesterday’s heroes. Buangor-Tatyoon will be mindful of the last match against Pomonal, where the Tigers toppled the Hawks prior to Christmas, and will be out to avenge that result. James Phillips, James Arney, the Cronins Tyler and Sam, Michael Harricks and Jarrod Blandford will know that they must play well to get over the Tigers. Halls Gap will look for an important win against Chalambar, which will be looking to secure another win. This result could go either way because both teams have potential match winners Charlie McIntosh, Josef Martin and Riley Thomas for the Gappers and Sam Pilgrim, Singh and Walker for Chalambar. Grampians has continued its dominance of Horsham with a narrow inter-association victory. This follows on from a good win over Wimmera Mallee the week before. Oh for the good old Country Week competitions! This week: Pomonal v Buangor-Tatyoon, Swifts-Great Western v Youth Club, Halls Gap v Chalambar. Last week: Buangor-Tatyoon 2-140 (J. Arney 65no, S.
