Future proofing BY SEAN O’CONNELL

Shopping W Spree

immera and Horsham District football-netball leaders are looking to future proof their clubs amid concerns of player and volunteer numbers.

With the 2023 football-netball seasons in the books, several club presidents said they were exploring options including possible amalgamations. Wimmera League’s Southern Mallee Giants community will vote on its future on Wednesday next week. Giants president Nathan Williams said the club had been in discussions with a Horsham District league club

to decide whether we want to move into the next phase of being the Southern Mallee community,” the statement read. Jeparit-Rainbow president Lucas Edelston said factors which led to discussions between the two clubs were not new. “It’s no secret across country footy a lot of clubs are suffering for numbers,” he said. “I’ve talked to a few clubs in the area and everyone is starting to struggle for numbers in reserves football, juniors and volunteering. “Before we are really struggling, we want to be on the front foot.”

regarding a potential amalgamation and the two had been in contact for several years. “We are in informal talks with Jeparit-Rainbow and have had meetings to discuss options and see what people think,” he said. “We’ve had discussions two or three years ago and have always spoken to each other and kept each other in the loop.” In a public statement released on Sunday, the Giants said it was time to make a definitive decision about what the club’s next five years would look like. “We have the opportunity next week

Taylors Lake president Stuart Hall, who recently joined the club’s committee, said there were several factors which led to discussions with Laharum earlier this year. In August, the Laharum club board voted to cease merger discussions with Taylors Lake for 2024. “I think it was numbers, talent and it would have been finances as well. I’m sure there would have been efficiencies in bringing two sets of members together,” Mr Hall said. He said the Lakers were ‘pretty optimistic’ about their 2024 season. Continued page 3

‘Wait and see’ for service station S

BY ABBY WALTER

takeholders are waiting on a verdict from Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, VCAT, after a two-and-a-half-day hearing about a proposed service station at Dooen Road, Horsham.

Representatives of Spectrum Retail Group, Horsham Rural City Council and a cohort of objectors attended the hearing for a proposed 7-Eleven petrol station on the corner of Dooen Road and Baillie Street. Urbis Pty Ltd, for Spectrum Retail Group, lodged a planning permit application for the service station with the council late last year. The council went on to refuse the

planning permit in March. Mobility scooter provider Action Aids currently occupies the site. It has been a service station in the past. Spectrum Retail Group development director Youil Adam said there was no resolution, yet. Mr Adam said the tribunal would attend the property in the next month and provide a verdict shortly after. “There is really nothing left to do for Spectrum Retail but to wait for the final verdict to be delivered,” he said. “In the hearing, Spectrum was required to present expert data and analysis behind the proposal, giving grounds on why a 24-7 service station is appropriate for the site.” Objections to the proposal included

“Council’s refusal and the community’s concerns have been strongly argued at VCAT and it will now be up to the tribunal on whether the application will be refused or permitted with the conditions”

traffic congestion concerns; impacts of noise, light and odours; amenity; and 24-hour trade. Horsham Rural City Council acting chief executive Kevin O’Brien said the hearing was set for five days but concluded early due to some efficiencies in the process.

“Maddocks Lawyers represented the council at the hearing in Melbourne,” he said. “The substantial matters considered at the tribunal remained the appropriateness of a service station in a residential zone, traffic movements and hours of operation.” Mr O’Brien said a written decision was expected within four to six weeks. “Council’s refusal and the community’s concerns have been strongly argued at VCAT and it will now be up to the tribunal on whether the application will be refused or permitted with the conditions,” he said. Horsham resident Di Bell, a nominated representative of objectors to the proposal, said the community

would now ‘wait and see’ what the result of the tribunal would be. “Spectrum, the council and community members presented their submissions,” she said. “Spectrum called on expert witnesses and there was an opportunity to cross-examine those witnesses, too. “The tribunal will consider all information presented and come to a decision.” Mrs Bell said each party was also asked what they thought of various permit conditions if the application was granted. She said her understanding was the tribunal member could refuse the application, or it could be granted with conditions.

WE STAWELL

Stawell is set for a shopping frenzy on Friday as the annual ‘We Love’ campaign continues in 2023. The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM’s ‘We Love’ series is designed to highlight opportunities available to regional shoppers and promote a ‘shop local’ drive. There will be plenty of bargains with discounted products and services available throughout the day. People who make purchases at participating businesses will need to remember to ask for a ‘We Love Stawell’ card to be eligible for one of two $250 vouchers. Inside today’s edition is four pages of shopping deals from participating businesses. ACE Radio Horsham promotions manager Kaycee Bould said the MIXX FM Street Team van would be set up in Main Street during the day, broadcasting from 9am. She said shoppers who made a purchase at a participating business could present their card at the van to enter the draw, with vouchers able to be spent at any of the participating businesses.

Leaders focus on juniors to secure future of rural clubs From page 1 Mr Hall said netball participation was strong, however under-17 football provided the biggest challenge. “There have been junior coaches appointed and we are hoping that leads to two junior football teams on the park next year,” he said. Mr Hall said the club would be giving 2024 its best shot, but it was difficult to say where the club would be placed in 12 months’ time. “At this stage we are not looking for

a partner. We are not going to shut the door, but we are not actively looking,” he said. “Hard times are not new. Country footy has been at a crossroads almost since forever. There are opportunities for clubs to adapt and maybe change the way they do things.” Laharum president Hamish Roberts said the club made a number of positive changes since talks with Taylors Lake. “We feel pretty confident in the

actions we’ve taken during the last couple of months,” he said. “A lot of it is bringing in better income, which will allow us to compete in areas such as recruiting and facilities.” Mr Roberts said volunteering and football participation were other areas of concern, but had improved. “Our playing numbers in football weren’t great, but due to a few things we’ve done we are confident across all grades,” he said.

“We’ve never traditionally been a club who turns over a lot of money and so we’ve had to rely on juniors to come through and play seniors. “Our under-14 and Auskick numbers are fantastic and our under-17 numbers are looking really good this year, which will help greatly.” Mr Roberts said under-17 numbers were difficult last season and this had a flow-on effect to other grades, leading the club to delve deeper into recruiting.

GIVE TERMITES THE

“We didn’t have great numbers in seniors and reserves but were able to field both teams without injuries, which inevitably happen throughout the season,” he said. “Recruiting for Horsham-based clubs has always been competitive and we’ve never been able to compete – we are trying to change that. “Our mindset is to continue developing juniors and top up with quality senior players.”

She also hosts monthly social club dinners for residents. Liz finds comfort in her mother living in a village setting. “I don’t have to worry so much about her because there’s always someone around,” she said. “Security wise, it’s great, and she always has company and she’s made plenty of friends and enjoys plenty of activities.”

Mallee votes against Voice model T

BY SEAN O’CONNELL

he Mallee federal electorate delivered among the highest proportion of ‘no’ voters in the state during Saturday’s referendum.

About 80 percent of Mallee constituents voted against enshrining an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Federal Parliament in the Australian constitution. In the federal electorate of Wannon, which includes Ararat, about 67 percent of voters wrote ‘no’ on their ballots. The referendum question was ‘A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration?’ Stawell’s North Park Community Sports Centre recorded the highest ratio of ‘yes’ votes of any polling place in the Mallee, with about 600.

Warracknabeal Band and Scout Hall recorded the highest ratio of ‘no’ votes in the Wimmera at the time of publication and was second behind Red Cliffs RSL Hall in the entire electorate. Horsham’s Anglican Church hall was second behind Mildura Senior Citizens club for most informal votes. The same Horsham polling station also recorded the second most votes of any location in the Mallee, with about 10,000 people attending the location for early voting. Member for Mallee Anne Webster said a ‘no’ vote did not spell the end for attempts to address hardships faced by Indigenous people. “The referendum posed one model for addressing Indigenous disadvantage, a Canberra Voice,” Dr Webster said. “The strong ‘no’ vote – particularly in Mallee – rejected that model. “Australians want to close the gap and recognise prior Indigenous connection to the land.

cause hurt for some Indigenous people in the state. “We know that a lot of First Nations people will be hurting,” the statement read. “The Voice was intended to be a way to hear what First Nations people have to say, and work to build a better future – together. “Australians have decided the Commonwealth approach to change the Constitution – in this particular way – was not the right way to go.” Ms Allan and Ms Hutchins highlighted the First People’s Assembly of Victoria, which held a second round of elections earlier this year, as a body which represented Indigenous people in the state. “It’s a model with bipartisan support,” the statement read. “It has proven to be an effective way for Aboriginal Victorians to get to have a say, and for us to work together towards reconciliation.” Barengi Gadjin Land Council,

“We must forensically work on meaningful ways to resolve those issues. “As the Shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, has stated, there needs to be an audit of all Indigenous funding. “Australian taxpayers have a right to know which programs are working, and which ones are not, in the experience of Indigenous people from all over the nation.” The Uluru Statement from the Heart, which was created by First Nations leaders at the 2017 National Constitutional Convention, called for constitutional reform to allow Indigenous people to control their ‘destiny’. It called for a ‘First Nations Voice’ to be established and enshrined in the constitution. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan and Minister for Treaty and First Peoples Natalie Hutchins issued a joint statement about the result, saying it may

Duo excels at nationals Two students from Holy Trinity Lutheran College in Horsham put their technical expertise into action, competing at a national robotics competition in Melbourne. Year-eight students Zoe Bandell and Jack Kelly finished fourth at the RoboCup Junior Australian Open National Championships. The duo qualified for the competition’s national robot soccer event after finishing second at a state-level competition, where they also won a best regional design award. Zoe said she and Jack designed, built and programmed their robots in the lead-up to RoboCup competition. “We’ve spent the whole of this year building and coding them, getting ready for states where we came second, and first in regionals,” she said. “We came fourth at nationals in Melbourne. “It was lots of fun and good to meet new people and have a new experience.” Zoe said the team had to compete against opposition robots, with each machine having to move around the playing area on its own using sensors to locate a soccer ball. “We played soccer with the robots. We’ve coded them to find the ball and push it into the goals,” she said. Jack said there was a large crowd at

HTLC technology teacher Adam Engert congratulated Zoe and Jack on their strong results against tough competition.

“HTLC is proud of the way Zoe and Jack conducted themselves on the day,” he said. “As first-time competitors we went into the competition with a focus on experience and opportunity and were amazed by the team’s performance in results and conduct. “Zoe and Jack constructed a very competitive robot, modelled sport-

spersonship at all times, and improved their game play and awareness. “The event organisers specifically commented on the growth they had witnessed from the state final and across the course of the national final weekend.” – Sean O’Connell

Horsham Rural City Council will continue to build on the presence of public art across the municipality. The council has adopted a Public Art Policy 2023-27 to guide the delivery and management of quality public art, recognising it can create a unique community identity. Public art achievements since 2013 includes inclusion of Horsham’s Yangga Dyata Silo Art into the Wimmera and Mallee Silo Art Trail, the expansion of mural art, integration of public art into capital projects such as developments along the Wimmera River, and development of public art trails. Cr Ian Ross said while annual funding of $30,000 was not ‘significant’, taking into account the council’s total annual budget, it did enable the council to attract other funding to fulfill projects in a highly competitive market. Cr Claudia Haenel, an artist with involvement in community projects prior to becoming a councillor, said art and creativity had a positive impact on people’s wellbeing and public art contributed to the vibrancy of public spaces. The policy updates previous documents, reflecting evolving aspirations and priorities, in line with community consultation. People can view the policy via hrcc. vic.gov.au

Laser welcomes new leaders Laser Plumbing and Electrical Horsham has welcomed two highly experienced industry leaders to further strengthen its service delivery to clients across the Wimmera-Mallee and beyond. Aaron ‘Jeta’ Janetzki brings a wealth of trade-based management expertise to his role of plumbing manager, while licensed plumber Daryle ‘Dick’ Cross boasts decades of industry experience. Laser Horsham director Matt Coutts said the latest hirings were a result of the business continuing to go from strength to strength and he was excited to see the benefits of having additional high-level people in the business. “Due to our growth we’ve had an extensive reshuffle of our business model in the past 12 to 18 months,” he said. “After gaining a stronger understanding of the plumbing industry, we have undergone a restructure, creating two new roles. Dick and Jeta are both well-known in the community and we are excited to introduce two fantastic, highly experienced people into our business. “Jeta joins us with more than 20 years’ trade-based experience covering a broad range of industries and has strong expertise in people-management. “He is highly regarded and has built strong relationships with many trades. He is a natural leader – the way he carries himself is incredibly professional – and the guys are already responding well to him. Jeta is extremely passionate about great customer service, which is something we place a strong emphasis on at Laser.” Matt said his plumbing staff would also

benefit from mentoring from Dick, who had more than 40 years’ plumbing trade experience. “He is venturing into a new role, overseeing, guiding and educating our staff,” he said. “His depth of knowledge and experience will strengthen our business and our ability to service clients. He will also enable us to diversify our capabilities, because he is highly experienced in so many facets of the plumbing industry, so we can now offer even greater services to clients.” Jeta said throughout his 20-plus years in trade, he naturally gravitated towards management and leadership roles. “Working with people to get the best out of them and to achieve great outcomes for clients is something I’m really passionate about and enjoy,” he said. “Matt had approached me about joining Laser years ago, but it wasn’t the right time. When this opportunity to lead the plumbing department came up, I jumped at it. “I’m loving it. I’m getting to know all the guys and what they can do, and I plan to ensure they are exposed to all the different types of plumbing work so they can all become experts in their trade.” Jeta said he enjoyed an opportunity to help improve the region’s workforce. “I was born and bred in Horsham and I’ve probably dealt with every tradie in Horsham throughout my time in the industry,” he said. “I’ve got good relationships with them all and I’m looking forward to working alongside them again in my new role.” Dick said he was enjoying his new chal-

lenge with Laser, particularly the opportunity to help guide some up-and-coming talent. “I’m enjoying helping out the younger blokes while also doing the work,” he said. “It’s a very good team and they’re all good workers, which is what I like to see.” Need a plumber or have a plumbing project in mind?

Ready to relay H

BY SEAN O’CONNELL

orsham and District Relay For Life, which has raised almost $2-million for the Cancer Council since 2001, will take place on Friday and Saturday at Coughlin Park.

Gayle Jeffery, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and is currently undertaking chemotherapy for bone cancer, said the relay’s contribution to research had affected her own treatment. “Ten years ago they would have said ‘we’ll try this and try that’, but they have so many things they can try now and I’m great – the best I’ve been in years,” she said. “It’s all due to my doctors, my nurses, my family and my mindset.” Mrs Jeffery said participating in the relay could be ‘healing’ for people dealing with cancer and their families. “You come and you have your sashes on and you’re a survivor,” she said. “You look at people who have been carers and hear of people who haven’t survived, and that can be quite hard. “But even for the kids to be able to walk with me, you can see that the cancer hasn’t just affected me. “It’s good for families to get together and do this walk and be there.” Margaret McDonald, who is a registered nurse at Wimmera Base Hospital, said she would be relaying on Friday in one of the founding teams, ‘Froot Loops’. “I used to work in the oncology department, which is where they treat cancer patients, but I now work in Oxley, the acute part of the hospital,” she said. “We see lots of patients with cancers, plus my family has been affected by cancer – my brother died of cancer five years ago.

“Very dear friends of mine and my teammates have died with cancer, so it’s a cause very dear to my heart.” Mrs McDonald said it was good to have the event return after multiple years without it, and to continue to raise money to help with cancer treatment. “My team, we still held our own minievent for the two years we didn’t have one,” she said. “Unfortunately cancer treatment is extremely harsh and it not only affects the cancer cells in the body, it also affects the good cells in the body. “Now a lot of the treatments are aimed at boosting your body’s own immune system to try and help with the cancer, leading to less side-effects.”

Continue the fight Horsham and District chairperson Kingsley Dalgleish said 37,000 Victorians were still diagnosed with cancer each year at an average of 101 people a day. He said donations from events such as Relay For Life helped to increase the five-year survival rate by 48 percent during the past 30 years. “The five-year survival rate for Victorians is now at 71 percent for the first time ever,” he said. “While these numbers are better than they were, there are still Australians being diagnosed with cancer every day. We all know someone who has been affected by cancer, and so we continue the fight to find a cure. And this is why we continue to relay.” Mr Dalgleish said people can register on the event’s webpage: relayforlife.org. au/event/horsham-2023

Student Jed Murray said he was interested in pursuing an electrician pathway and wanted to see what career options would be available to him. “I learned during the tour there is a lot more working with machinery than I realised,” he said. Stawell Goldmine general manager Troy Cole said the tours were an opportunity to showcase the industry to people who would be soon entering the workforce. “We have been introducing the resources sector to schools in regional Victoria and have good participation,” he said.

more geologists, mining engineers, trades and diesel mechanics,” he said. “We want young people in regional Victoria to know what the options are, and think of mining as an option for their career.” He said the program had introduced 500 students from 20 schools across the state to Victorian mines. “It’s been a huge success. We’ve had a massive uptake of young people interested and open-minded about mining, which is positive for the future of the industry,” he said. Horsham College, St Brigid’s College, Ararat College, Stawell Secondary College and Lake Bolac College students have also been involved in the program.

“The tour days introduce young people to all the different opportunities in the sector from finance through to trades, engineering, geoscience, metallurgists and all sorts of different careers. “For a lot of students, it’s something new to see an operating goldmine and it opens their eyes to the possibilities of the future.” Minerals Council of Australia, Victoria executive director James Sorahan said the council started the tours last year to build awareness about jobs available in mining.

Expanded service N

ew ultrasound and Xray equipment is now operational at Rural Northwest Health’s Warracknabeal campus.

A Rural Northwest Health spokesperson said the health service was proud to unveil its new Siemens digital X-ray unit and ultrasound. “Both units bring a state-ofthe-art upgrade for the hospital,” the spokesperson said. “Locals in the Wimmera region no longer need to travel to Horsham, Ballarat or Melbourne for advanced ultrasound scans thanks to equipment procured for Rural Northwest Health. “The Canon Ultrasound machine was part of a medical imaging tender carried out by HealthShare Victoria on be-

half of Rural Northwest Health and offers clearer and more precise imaging and includes high specification ultrasound and X-ray equipment.” The State Government contributed $220,000 to the project through the Regional Health Infrastructure Fund.

Close to home

Minister for Health MaryAnne Thomas said the new equipment meant more people across the state’s north-west could stay close to home when accessing medical care. “The dedicated staff at Rural Northwest Health do a wonderful job and through initiatives like our Regional Health Infrastructure Fund we are supporting them to continue doing what they do best – save lives,” she said. Member for Western Victoria

Jacinta Ermacora said the upgrade meant local healthcare services could use world-class equipment required to provide the community with the best care. The fund – now worth $790 million – provides funding to rural and regional health services and agencies across Victoria so these services can continue to provide safe and efficient care to communities. It has contributed more than $836,000 to Rural Northwest Health since it was established in 2015. Applications to the eighth round of the fund recently closed, with more than 120 health services and agencies eligible for funding for projects that support the continued delivery of healthcare to communities.

Horsham in final judging Horsham will again be included in the final judging for the Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Awards, to be announced at an event in Melbourne on Monday. The 2023 awards program differs from previous years, with all submissions for the Premier’s Sustainability Industry Awards, Sustainable Cities and Tidy Towns, now being judged collectively across all entrants. Horsham Tidy Towns Com-

mittee made nine submissions to the 10 awards categories, with the Horsham submission for Indigenous Culture included in the final six entries for the state award in that section. Four members of the Tidy Towns Committee, together with a group of five from Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative, will travel to Melbourne for the presentation. The submission in the Indigenous Culture category was

for Goolum Goolum’s ‘Hand Up’ program, which was developed in Horsham and is now receiving recognition for assisting in health and mental wellbeing for Indigenous community members. Horsham Tidy Towns Committee meets regularly on the third Tuesday afternoon of the month and welcomes new membership. People wanting more information can phone David Eltringham on 0418 147 482.

SPECIAL GUEST: Television presenter Vasili Kanidiadis, second from left, with Tina Fitzgerald, Mauro Boddi and Karen Telfer, enjoy a chat at Horsham Spring Garden Festival. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Spring in step of organisers Horsham Spring Garden Festival returned to the Wimmera events calendar in style at the weekend, hardly missing a beat after a fouryear break. Festival chairperson Phil Lohrey said about 1400 adults and a ‘few hundred’ children wandered through Horsham Botanic Gardens gate for the event, which took place across the weekend. “It was good – Saturday was really busy,” he said. “On Sunday we were let down a bit by the weather forecast, rather than the weather – which might have stopped some people from coming. The average person would have been there for about an hour and a half.” Mr Lohrey said the committee would be welcoming feedback from patrons in the coming weeks, so the event could be improved for next year. He said television gardener Vasili Kanidiadis, who spoke on both days, had been a standout. “The guest speaker was more than generous, with his time,” he said.

Open until 6pm weekdays and noon on Saturdays

“He knows his stuff and was talking to people all day. Some people brought him photos and he’d ask questions and find a solution for them.” Mr Lohrey said organisers had already received positive feedback. “Some of the parents were surprised with the amount of kids activities we had, including facepainting,” he said. “A lot liked the food court, which was set up with chairs, tables and umbrellas. It just sets the scene and makes for a welcoming environment. “Another thing the festival is good for is showcasing the work of Horsham Rural City Council’s parks and gardens staff. People did comment on the standard of the garden.” Mr Lohrey said Australian Mechanical Organ Society was another attraction at the event. “They hosted their annual general meeting and came from at least three states – South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria,” he said. “They had 31 members plus their partners, which is about 60 people, and that was good for the town.”

Meaningful next steps

ustralian voters have spoken.

In a nationally and historically significant referendum, overwhelmingly, more than 60 percent of voters selected ‘no’ to the referendum question: “A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration?” Seven of our eight states and territories declared a ‘no’ majority; and, closer to home, more than 79 percent of voters in the Mallee electorate and 68 percent of voters in Wannon shared this sentiment. Now is not a time to explore an understanding of why the votes fell as they did; nor is it a time for action, or reaction, in its wake. Pause, reflect, consider. Regroup. Indigenous people in support of a ‘yes’ vote called for a week of silence to grieve the outcome and reflect on its meaning and significance. The result – and, indeed, the entire referendum process – will leave many hurt. A statement published to Uluru Statement of the Heart at the weekend read: “Now is the time for silence, to mourn and deeply consider the consequence of this outcome. Much will be asked about the role of racism and prejudice against Indigenous people in this result. The only thing we ask is that each and every Australian who voted in this election reflect hard on this question.” There are nuances to every campaign and every viewpoint. Nuances

EDITORIAL By Jessica Grimble

that cannot be truly reflected in a clear-cut yes or no answer. And there is no doubt the referendum has divided and given rise to much unrest among people and communities. We call on local federal MPs in Dr Anne Webster and Dan Tehan – both clear in their stance for a ‘no’ vote – to show leadership in articulating the ways forward for reconciliation and healing, and for leaders to meaningfully address the well-documented ‘gaps’ experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Equality was a word widely used, particularly for those campaigning for a ‘no’ vote. Claims Australians should be, or are already, all treated equal. But equality means treating everyone the same; and it fails to recognise – and act on – the varying needs of groups and communities of all ages, stages, genders, cultural heritage… the list goes on. Equity recognises that each person has different circumstances. It meets people where they are at. And so it provides the resources and the opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. By embracing equity, we embrace diversity and inclusion. Equality is the goal, and equity is a means to get there. Last week’s editorial spoke of the

power and importance of looking to information that is true and reliable. Showing responsibility and respect. Of being informed to establish a viewpoint; a choice. Amid a referendum campaign that spread much misinformation and disinformation – led by many of our nation’s elected leaders – the harm of these campaigns, and the way forward, is yet to be seen. The financial cost of the referendum is estimated to be about $450 million. Mega bucks. But can the social and emotional cost ever be quantified? The referendum exposed education and knowledge gaps for all Australians. Often, these gaps were filled with misinformation, disinformation or fear. It’s that misinformation, disinformation, or the outright lies that may now, mistakenly and dangerously, be cemented in memory banks as fact and truth. What have we learned, and what must we unlearn, in order to move forward together – with respect, without entitlement. Recognising privilege where it exists. What steps can we as individuals, groups and communities take to show leadership ourselves, to learn more, to listen, to act, to stand up. To make space for people, and their voices, whose lives are directly impacted by choices and actions of others. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people can seek support by phoning 13YARN on 139 276. People can also phone Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.

Thunderstorm asthma risk forecast

xperts are reminding Victorians to protect themselves against the risk of epidemic thunderstorm asthma by using Victoria’s risk forecasting system this grass pollen season.

asthma symptoms over a short time caused by high amounts of grass pollen and a certain type of thunderstorm. Victoria’s forecasting system, operating until December 31, enables people who have asthma or seasonal hay fever to plan and reduce their risk. The forecasting system gives a threeday forecast showing the risk of this type of event, from low – green, moderate – orange, to high – red, across nine Victorian weather districts. National Asthma Council Australia director and respiratory physician Pe-

Grass pollen season, which typically runs from October to December, brings a seasonal increase in asthma and hay fever – and the chance of thunderstorm asthma. Epidemic thunderstorm asthma occurs when many people develop

ter Wark said now was the time to visit a GP to review an asthma plan and know what to do in an asthma emergency. “The best defence Victorians with seasonal hay fever or asthma can have as they head into thunderstorm asthma season is good day-to-day control of their conditions, so keep taking your preventer medication as prescribed by your doctor. A blue reliever inhaler does not stop the inflammation that causes asthma and will not prevent an asthma attack,” he said.

Toolondo in spotlight

On high-risk forecast days, Victorians with asthma or spring hay fever can reduce their risk by avoiding storms, particularly the wind gusts that come before them. They should go indoors to reduce the chance of exposure, close windows and doors, and turn off air conditioners bringing air in from outside. Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Keris Arndt said epidemic thunderstorm asthma events could happen when certain atmospheric conditions occur on a high grass polJOINT EFFORT: Horsham Angling Club members Alan Clyne, left, and Shane Shiells, right, with Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan and Victorian Fisheries officers Jason Peters and Daniel Down, plan a Horsham Angling Club community day. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Horsham Angling Club is partnering with Wimmera Catchment Management Authority to reignite Lake Toolondo as a premier fishing destination by limiting the impact of carp in the lake. Horsham Angling Club has organised a community get-together on October 29 to coincide with an intensive carp-harvesting operation removing tonnes of fish from the lake. The club will host a barbecue and family fishing activities on the lake foreshore while showcasing and providing information about carpharvesting operations. Horsham Angling Club and Wimmera CMA contracted professional carp harvester K and C Fisheries Global, led by Keith Bell. Horsham Angling Club secretary Bruce Thomson said members were delighted to be part of efforts to return Toolondo Reservoir to its ‘glory days’ and to demonstrate how large numbers of carp could be removed. “Some of the trophy fish that have come out of Toolondo are the stuff of angling legend,” he said. “We’re in full support of helping get the lake back to its best. “Carp are a threat to the lake, and we’re keen for as many people as possible to come along to our get-

together to see what’s involved, learn something new and have some fun at the same time.” Toolondo Reservoir has a reputation as a high-quality trophy trout and redfin fishery. GWMWater has transferred almost 30,000 megalitres from Rocklands to Toolondo, in addition to natural inflows, since spring last year. In mid-October, Lake Toolondo was holding about 33,920 megalitres, or 67 percent of its capacity. During the past two years, the Victorian Fisheries Authority used a contractor to remove about 130 tonnes of carp from Toolondo Reservoir. When carp abundance is high, the

fish can decimate aquatic plant life, increase turbidity and siltation, and consume lake-bed food sources. This can lead to reduced growth rates and catchability of trout and redfin. Wimmera CMA chief executive David Brennan said the combined effort to enhance Toolondo Reservoir was an example of how community groups and government agencies could work together on a common goal. VFA chief executive Travis Dowling said more than 20,000 brown trout and 10,000 rainbow trout were stocked this year to accelerate the fishery’s recovery. “Toolondo is one of Victoria’s best

trout fisheries when conditions are right, with its large weed beds providing an ideal environment to grow trophy-size fish,” he said. “We’ve stocked 25,000 trout this year and when you combine that with inflows from Rocklands, continued carp removal and a longer boat ramp providing better access for fishers, Toolondo’s on the road to being a top-class fishing destination for years to come.” Community activities start on Lake Toolondo foreshore from 11am with angling opportunities, prizes and giveaways, a barbecue lunch and a carp-removal presentation and demonstration from 2pm.

len day. “Predicting the likelihood of storm days in Victoria is extremely difficult more than a few days in advance,” he said. “The best advice is to take precautions ahead of time and keep up-todate with the weather forecast and the epidemic thunderstorm asthma risk forecast issued daily by the Victorian Department of Health.” The risk forecast is available through the VicEmergency app and at www. emergency.vic.gov.au/respond

New Stawell kindergarten A new kindergarten at Stawell is slated to open next year after a $6-million State Government investment in three Victorian kindergartens this year. Marrang Kindergarten and Early Childhood Centre in Stawell will receive two single-room modular kindergarten buildings. The additional rooms at the service will support a new sessional kinder program from term one, 2024, and provide up to 90 more kindergarten places for nearby families. The Victorian Budget 2023-24 committed an additional $1.2 billion to build or expand kindergartens across the state, supporting the delivery of 15 hours of free three-year-old kindergarten each week by 2029 and 30 hours of free pre-prep each week by 2032.

Nominations open Nominations are open for Horsham Rural City Council’s 2024 Australia Day awards. The awards recognise and honour individuals and groups who have made an outstanding contribution to the community. Nominations for community event of the year, citizen of the year and young citizen of the year will close on December 4. Nomination forms are available at www.hrcc.vic.gov.au or by visiting the Civic Centre in Horsham.

may be neurodivergent due to autism, ADHD or other differences such as specific learning disability, often called dyslexia,” Dr Edwards said. “If we add up the numbers of people who are on the autism spectrum, have ADHD or a specific learning disability, then roughly one-in-five people in our community are neurodivergent. “Australian Bureau of Statistics tells us that neurodivergent adults are substantially less likely to gain a tertiary degree.” The ABS estimates 0.7 percent of the Australian population has autism and, of those, only 8.1 percent had a degree, compared to 16.1 percent of people with a disability and 31.2 percent of neurotypical adults. “They might never move from secondary to tertiary study or if they do, find the barriers are too great for them to succeed with

The ‘Neurodiversity inclusion and success’ project will promote the social and academic inclusion of neurodiverse students and staff. It comes amid rising community awareness of neurodiversity, including challenges students and staff might experience. Project leader Dr Steve Edwards said researchers were calling on current and past students and staff, whether neurodivergent or neurotypical, to participate in a survey. “We live in a world where there is neurological diversity in how people think and learn. People

The project is a collaboration between the university’s Institute of Health and Wellbeing, student services, disability services, the Institute of Education, Arts and Community and the community.

Council details new caretaker policy lors avoid certain actions and decisions which could be seen to influence voters, or could have a significant impact on the incoming council. This includes rules regarding decision-making, use of council and public resources, publications and communications, consultation and attendance at events. Cr Ian Ross said the policy was essential for good governance and ensured there was no misunderstanding in terms of council

Caretaker arrangements for Horsham Rural City Council’s 2024 election are detailed in a new policy. Councils are required to make special arrangements for the election period, commencing at midday on Tuesday, September 24 and concluding as polls close at 6pm on Saturday, October 26. The Council Election Period Policy 2024 details rules for the conduct of council business during the election period to ensure council staff and council-

decisions and processes during the caretaker period. The policy applies to individual councillors, the council as a body corporate, delegated committees of the council, the chief executive, executive managers, all council staff and anyone acting on behalf of the organisation under a delegation. The election date is subject to the Local Government Minister’s confirmation.

GIVING BACK: Former truck driver Laurie Carruthers has volunteered within his community for a decade, since returning to Stawell as a retiree.

Ensuring a meaningful life Stawell’s Laurie Carruthers knows how to bring a smile to the faces of residents at Macpherson Smith Residential Care. The retired truck driver volunteers every Monday and Wednesday at the Grampians Health facility, where he calls bingo and provides camaraderie for residents. Mr Carruthers said his community service had spanned more than a decade, initially joining the hospital’s community care program, transporting patients to attend medical appointments. He said he decided to change course after turning 80 and joined the service’s ‘meaningful life program’ at Macpherson Smith, which aims to enhance the daily lives of residents. “I just like to give something back to the community,” he said. “I was fortunate to have a good job for 23 years and after that, I wanted to help others.”

Elders Southern Wool Report

Mr Carruthers said the benefits of his volunteering extended beyond the residents’ enjoyment to his own fulfilment. “I always like to have a yarn with all the old fellows about the history of the district,” he said. Grampians Health volunteer program coordinator west Kellie McMaster said volunteers help make a meaningful impact on residents’ lives. “Volunteers play a very important role in our health service as they selflessly dedicate their time and compassion to provide support to our residents and patients,” she said. Mr Carruthers encouraged people who are able to dedicate their time to volunteering. “It’s easy, flexible, can be done any time and a small amount of time can make a big impact,” he said. People wanting information about volunteering can call Ms McMaster on 5381 9347 or email kellie.mcmaster@gh.org.au

United to deliver health programs G

rampians Community Health, with 10 other Victorian rural and regional community health services, is ready to address health inequity across the state.

Ballarat Community Health, Bendigo Community Health, Sunbury Cobaw Community Health, Grampians Community Health, Nexus Primary Health, Northern District Community Health, Bellarine Community Health, Gateway Health, Gippsland Lakes Complete Health, Primary Care Connect and Sunraysia Community Health Services are members of Alliance of Rural and Regional Community Health, ARRCH. An inaugural ARRCH conference at Creswick earlier this month focused on how services are engaging with communities to deliver innovative health programs and research, and how they could grow to meet demand. The conference celebrated 50 years since community health was launched in Australia. ARRCH chair and Northern District Community Health chief executive Mandy Hutchinson said rural and regional community health services already had an impact on their communities and were well placed to do more. “We are ready. Our focus on health equity and the social determinants of health were celebrated by many examples at the conference, but we’re saying to all governments that we are ready and can scale up to deliver more positive programs across our communities and do it more strategically and in collaboration,” she said. “Our values haven’t really changed much

in 50 years. We’re still prioritising lived experience and working closely in a placebased way with our communities and being informed by our communities about the way we work and in responding to their needs.” The 220 conference attendees heard about initiatives including scaling up farmer health checks, addressing ageism, amplifying regional LGBTIQA+ voices, community paramedicine, mental-health support in schools, community recovery and resilience projects, nurse practitioner outreach models, tackling vaping in young people, a community paramedic model, and supporting people with intellectual disabilities to access healthcare. Health Minister Ann-Maree Thomas, deputy secretary for public health professor Zoe Wainer, Lived Experience mental health and wellbeing division executive director Mary O’Hagan and Department of Health secretary Euan Wallace were guest speakers. “Professor Wallace said more money needs to be spent on prevention, early intervention and out-of-hospital care and we believe ARRCH is well placed to collaborate and build partnerships to achieve that goal,” Ms Hutchinson said. Australian journalist Professor Stan Grant delivered a keynote speech, highlighting the connection between health and history. The conference followed the theme ‘Engaging with communities to address health equity, the rural and regional way’. ARRCH community health organisations provide health and wellbeing services across 82.5 percent of Victoria and contribute more than $750 million to the economy annually.

REUNION: Former St Brigid’s College student Harrison Foster is looking forward to catching up with some old friends and seeing how the school has changed during a series of reunions at the school this Saturday.

Graduates returning to St Brigid’s St Brigid’s College in Horsham is hosting a school reunion for graduates who left the school up to 50 years ago. The classes of 1973, 1983, 1993, 2003 and 2013 will return to the Catholic secondary school on Saturday to catch up with classmates and reminisce. Sandra O’Connor, who graduated in 1983, said she had not been back to the region since leaving school and moving to Perth. “I think the school tried to instil kindness, which I hope we all took with us in life,” she said. “I am still great friends with a group of girls from school, we are looking forward to catching up.” Having left the school in 2003, Marc Perry said he remembered

inside nowadays, despite driving past it almost every day. “From watching movies to the teachers to Mrs Mac – she was always in the canteen and she was a bit of a legend,” he said. “And seeing your peers, you don’t realise until you finish and you leave, how important and good school was.” Mr Foster said he was surprised the 10-year anniversary had already passed and looked forward to seeing his peers in his first reunion since leaving the school. “It will be good to see everyone, see what they are doing – most people are probably married or parents,” he said. “I think it will be good to see how St Brigid’s has advanced, even in the past 10 years.” – Sean O’Connell

a sporting feat he achieved at school athletics. “The memories that stand out for me are just having good mates and setting a discus record for the school,” he said. Debbie Smith finished at the school in 1983 and said roller skating with her teacher Miss Tregilgas was a strong memory of her time there. She said St Brigid’s instilled a belief in her that allowed her to go far as an athlete. “You can do whatever you put your mind to, through determination,” she said. “I became an international athlete in women’s Olympic weightlifting.” A 2013 graduate, Harrison Foster said he could ‘hardly imagine’ what the school looked like

TCV narrows draft corridor

ransmission Company Victoria, TCV, has released a draft corridor for the Victorian component of the Victoria to NSW Interconnector, VNI West, transmission line project.

TCV narrowed the area of interest for the proposed transmission line from a width of about 50 kilometres to two kilometres. The narrowing was based on input and feedback from landholders, community members, Traditional Owners and technical assessments. VNI West is expected to harness 3.4 gigawatts of renewable energy generation in Victoria, enough to power about 2.3 million homes and help bridge the reliability gap caused by the rapid retirement of coal-fired generation. TCV will work to further narrow the draft corridor and find the best location for the 70 to 120-metre easement. VNI West project director Sam Magee said in August 2023 TCV committed to contacting all landholders located within the draft corridor before publishing it. “We have sent letters and information packs to all landholders in the draft corridor and in addition, we have contacted about 40 percent of these people,” he said. “Our conversations with landholders have been largely respectful and constructive, with many landholders sharing important information about their properties and farming practices that will help us further refine the route. “Not all the properties that are cur-

rently in the draft corridor will be in the final route for VNI West and understanding how landholders are using their land and any important features will enable us to find the best location for the final easement, with the least impact.” The published report shows the draft corridor runs from the Murray River through to Bulgana and is more than six kilometres away from major towns, including Charlton, Boort and Kerang. It also details how sensitive agricultural, environmental and cultural areas have influenced the work to refine the route. Member for Mallee Anne Webster said TCV failed to keep the community informed regarding the change from creating a one-kilometre corridor to a twokilometre corridor. “The people of Mallee have made their thoughts on VNI West clear in protests and meetings right across the electorate and at a protest in Melbourne, yet they push ahead and can’t seem to keep their word from one report to the next,” she said. “One can only hope TCV will listen to the views of the people of Mallee during their delayed and inadequate ‘stakeholder engagement’. “Farmers’ livelihoods are at risk and many have told me they will not support it.” Landholders will be able to see where their property is in relation to the draft corridor by entering their property details into a new interactive map available at vniwest.mysocialpinpoint.com. au/vniwest#

HEALTH FOCUS: Ararat West Primary School students, Milla, Sophie and Harvey are encouraging the community to support Grow Happiness, a campaign they helped to create as part of a Resilient Ararat workshop.

Students help to grow happiness A group of students from Resilient Ararat’s cluster schools have developed a creative way to mark Mental Health Month as they encourage the community to, literally, grow happiness. Resilient Ararat’s Grow Happiness campaign launched last week, providing participating schools and businesses with seeded cards they can plant at home. The four card designs are embedded with a different variety of seed and feature questions that seek to spark conversations about mental health. Central Grampians LLEN executive officer Jane Moriarty said her organisation had worked with the students to plan, design and implement this year’s campaign.

“The idea for Grow Happiness came directly from a workshop we held with an amazing bunch of students from Resilient Ararat’s cluster schools,” she said. “The students had a brainstorming session to come up with different ways they could bring happiness to the community and encourage open conversations around mental health, and this was the idea they all loved. “Central Grampians LLEN staff helped the students bring the concept to life by researching seed paper suppliers and designing options for logos, branding and campaign materials. “All of these were voted on by the students who had the final say on the campaign.

“We are so proud of what they have come up with and we are really encouraging the community to support the Grow Happiness initiative.” Residents who receive Grow Happiness cards can share answers to the questions on Facebook or Instagram and tag @resilientararat They can then plant the card in a pot or garden by following the instructions on the back of the card. “The idea is to watch the online conversations, and your new plants, grow throughout the month of October,” Ms Moriarty said. People wanting more information on the Grow Happiness campaign can follow Resilient Ararat on Facebook and Instagram.

FUN: Vincent Brennan, Malaya Willmore and Matisse Hose star in Holy Trinity Lutheran College’s junior school production.

A role for everyone BY SEAN O’CONNELL

orsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College’s junior school concert entertained parents and friends and taught students more about the wide field of drama.

Acting head of junior school Jacqui North said the annual concert, which alternates each year between upper and lower primary students, was the college’s biggest in the postCOVID period. “Inspired by popular musicals, it’s a celebration of mu-

sic, costumes and theatre,” she said. “There is a small ensemble cast, but every student from years three to six had a part. “It was a combined effort of about 200 students.” Mrs North said students began preparing for the concert in term three and had performed it at the beginning of term four, under the guidance of performing arts teacher Michelle Hahn. “She has been a driving force and it wouldn’t have been possible without her,” she said. Mrs North said the concert

was intended for parents and offered students an opportunity to learn more about drama. “The parents see the kids perform and see what they have learned,” she said. “The students get an understanding of how it all works and what’s involved. “There’s lots of singing, colour and dancing. “While some might not want to perform, they are able to help out backstage or in tech support. “We have so many facets covered.”

Navy veterans focus of new title A

HORSHAM WED 18th SUN 5th Nov

SPRING SAVINGS CATALOGUE OUT NOW

BY SEAN O’CONNELL

former Horsham man, who served in the Royal Australian Navy, is soon to publish a book on navy veterans from the rural city.

The book, titled Action Stations: Horsham joins the Navy, in its final stages of editing, comprises 460 pages and details the Navy involvement of 12 women and 205 men from Horsham and district. Author John Francis said he had been interested in the topic for a long time, having grown up in Horsham and enlisting in the Navy in 1966. “Five years ago, when I moved to Canberra, I started working at the Navy Sea Power Centre in Fyshwick,” he said. “My wife Gillian and I had previously written a book about First World War service in Horsham and district, called Strewth. “My wife has continued that research to find out who from Horsham served in the Second World War. “As a result of that, and with me working at the Navy centre, I thought what an excellent idea for a book.” Mr Francis said much of his research had been done toiling through the National Archives of Australia, which are based in Canberra, and also in historical documents in the Navy centre. He said his book included Horsham people in the Navy until the early 1970s, due to a lack of access to more recent documents. “Records are not available after 1970 – when it went to computerised records,” he said. “I’ve gone a bit later because of local knowledge and other people who I served with.” Mr Francis said the extent of Navy service from Horsham people was all the more remarkable because it was a land-locked region, far away from the ocean. “I think there’s always the adventure that you associate with peace-time activities, such as travel,” he said. “For example, we know of four men from Horsham who were submariners. Two of those had to do their training in the United Kingdom and then take their submarines back to Australia.” Mr Francis said there were numerous stories, including many of sacrifice, contained in the book.

FULL RANGE INSTORE & ONLINE

RESEARCH: John Francis has researched and written a new book, Action Stations: Horsham joins the Navy. “Two Horsham men served with probably Australia’s most noteworthy Navy fighting captain, Hector Waller, on the HMAS Perth in the Second World War,” he said. “Both of these men were lost in the action in the Sunda Strait. “One was a Horsham dentist who joined the Navy and the other was a carpenter who enlisted as a shipwright. “I have been greatly privileged to have been given access to a never before published diary of one of HMAS Perth’s men. “He risked his life and beatings daily to pass scrounged food to the Australian nurses in an adjoining prisoner-of-war camp. “Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkle and Glenorchy local, nurse June Oram, were among those to benefit from this.” Expressions of interest or orders for Action Stations: Horsham joins the Navy, can be sent to email jrf5248@gmail.com

Personal banking assured Suzanne Neumann is Willaura and Lake Bolac Community Bank’s new branch manager. Willaura and Lake Bolac Community Bank chairperson Rowly Paterson said it was great to appoint Ms Neumann to the role.

Ms Neumann said she was looking forward to the challenge of the role and letting the community know the bank branch was there for it. Wednesday, October 18, 2023

“A lot of people in smaller communities still want to come into banks to get money out and have face-to-face conversations when they want to buy a new car, a new home or talk about investments,” she said. “They also know when they are banking with us, it helps the community. “I am looking forward to supporting the community through the bank products we offer, but also by continuing to put money back into the community.”

Nurses celebrate collaboration

rampians Health nurses reflected on the collaboration between the service’s four campuses as they celebrated Emergency Nurses Day last week.

The Grampians Health team used the opportunity to recognise the diversity of its urgent and emergency care teams in Edenhope, Ballarat, Horsham and Stawell. Edenhope director of nursing Tricia McInnes is a multi-skilled nurse with a limited radiation licence and is completing Rural Isolated Practice, RPIRN, training to increase her skills in emergency settings. Stawell Urgent Care also has RIPRN nurses and nurse practitioners as part of its team. Horsham Emergency Department nurse unit manager Odette Richards said campus teams shared policies, practices and team members in a collaborative approach. Ms Richards said Horsham’s team was small compared with the 200-strong ED team at Ballarat. “What makes our teamwork strong is the co-operation of doctors, nurses, orderlies and ward clerks all supporting each other,” she said. “Every team member who works in the ED talks about how well we all work together to meet each challenge and get the job done. “It’s what makes people such as nurses on placement want to come back to work at our organisation.” Ms Richards said her department was implementing ‘Timely Emergency Care Collaborative’, which would improve timely access to emergency care by delivering strategies to improve patient flow.

UNITED: Horsham Emergency Department nurse unit manager Odette Richards says the emergency department teams across Grampians Health campuses are working together. “A lot of the initiatives that we have introduced have been driven by our nurses and they are leading to significant improvements to our ‘seen-by’ times,” she said. “There are examples of how they have initiated things such as taking blood tests and getting them to pathology much quicker, or giving pain relief for a patient while they are waiting to see a doctor. “Not only that, but when the patient

goes home, we are doing a lot more referrals to allied health. “For example, a patient might present with back pain, so we make sure they get followed up with an allied health professional and that will lessen the likelihood of them returning with the same problem.” Amy Yole and Kylie Davey are Stawell’s Urgent Care Centre nurse unit managers. Ms Davey said her team had a great

attitude toward supporting each other and had built a positive culture. “Our team is well-equipped to support and stabilise all presentations no matter the complexity and we have access to further internal and external support when it’s needed,” she said. “Team members are very passionate about ensuring the community has access to emergency care and are all ready and willing to assist when needed.”

Plan to protect squirrel gliders Project Platypus is inviting the community to learn more about its plans to protect the vulnerable squirrel glider. Project Platypus will unveil plans for the ‘Tail of the squirrel glider’ at its annual general meeting on Friday. A rare opportunity to embark on a night walk through an area of known squirrel glider habitat will follow the meeting. Chris Pocknee, an expert of Biolinks Alliance, will guide the walk. Project Platypus manager Mark McLean said a population of squirrel gliders lived in the Wimmera, despite land clearing and major infrastructure projects. He said the organisation had developed the squirrel glider initiative to protect animals near Dadswells Bridge and Stawell. “The ‘Tail of the Squirrel Glider’ project is a brand-new concept and we will be seeking funding that will train the community and work with landowners to identify and protect valuable glider habitat,” he said. “We want to work with the local community to find out how many gliders there are and which areas should be protected. The species is classified as vulnerable, so any conservation efforts will have a massive impact on ensuring squirrel gliders can thrive into the future.” Project Platypus is a dedicated environmental conservation organisation committed to protecting and preserving Australia’s unique wildlife and ecosystems. Mr McLean said people wanting to learn more could go to platypus. org.au or follow Project Platypus on Facebook.

Triple jump Chery Group achieves record September sales

hinese manufacturer Chery Group has set something of a trifecta in September, with global sales of 190,080 units notching a year-on-year increase of 30.7 percent for the brand.

It is the first time Chery has exceeded 190,000 monthly sales and takes year-to-date sales, from January to September, for the brand to a new high of 1,253,237 vehicles. Globally, Chery says it has achieved a ‘triple jump’ in sales for the third quarter of 2023, with monthly sales having ‘continuously set new records of more than 150,000, 170,000 and 190,000 vehicles’. The cumulative sales for the first three quarters of the year have already exceeded the manufacturer’s 2022 sales total, creating a sales record for the group. The news comes just weeks after

Chery Australia announced the launch of its Tiggo 7 Pro; the model expected in Australian showrooms from November priced from $39,990 driveaway. The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro will compete against the likes of the GWM Haval H6 and MG HS in the bustling SUV medium under $60,000 category and become the second Chery model to be sold Down Under alongside the smallsegment Omoda 5 SUV, priced from $29,900 plus on-road costs. Offered in three trim grades – Urban, Elite and Ultimate – the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is one of the brand’s most popular global models with more than three-million examples produced to date. It will be offered in Australia exclusively with turbocharged petrol power and with the availability of front and all-wheel drive, and with equipment

levels Chery says will ‘surprise and delight at every level’. Beginning with the entry-grade Urban, buyers will find all-LED lighting, 18-inch alloy wheels with a full-size spare wheel, artificial leather seats with front-seat heating, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, multicolour LED ambient cabin lighting, native satellite navigation, dual 12.3-inch infotainment and instrumentation screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, an eight-speaker Sony-sourced audio system, and ‘Hello Chery’ voice control. Chery says the variant is equipped with eight airbags, 18 advanced driver aid systems and a driver monitoring system. The mid-tier Elite, priced from $41,990 drive-away, adds or replaces the aforementioned kit list with a

360-degree camera system, auto folding wing mirrors, powered tailgate, illuminated sill covers, optional blackpainted roof, cabin air quality management system and a cargo blind. Finally, the top-spec Ultimate AWD, priced from $45,990 drive-away, adds or replaces as mentioned with allwheel drive, 19-inch alloys, six drive modes, red-painted brake callipers, memory mirrors, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, ventilated front seats and driver’s seat memory. All Tiggo 7 Pro variants are powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering 137kW at 5500rpm and 275Nm at 2000rpm. The engine is paired with a sevenspeed dual-clutch transmission as standard and in front-wheel drive format is said to consume 7.0 litres per 100km with CO2 emissions of 163 grams per kilometre.

The five-seat Chery Tiggo 7 Pro measures 4513mm in length, 1862mm in width and 1696mm in height, and rides on a 2670mm wheelbase. Cargo space is listed at 626 litres in five-seat mode or 1672 litres in two-seat mode. Chery’s Tiggo 7 Pro is characterised by the brand’s Diamond and Crystal design language that will inspire all future Tiggo models, including a diamond-style front grille and blue laser front bumper treatment. The manufacturer says the ‘premium design flourishes’ of the model, including slender LED headlights, integrated taillights, bilateral exhaust tips and monogrammed rear badge ‘further add to its premium appeal’. The Chery range is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty which includes capped-price servicing plan and roadside assistance program. – Matt Brogan

‘Exceptional technical performance’

olkswagen’s answer to the Tesla Model Y, the all-electric ID.4 and ID.5, have been updated in Europe – just months ahead of the models’ arrival into Australia.

Details of the MY24 update see the ID.4 and ID.5 medium SUV range receive an upgraded infotainment array with a new-look human-machine interface and new software, as well as a larger 12.9-inch display screen. VW has further equipped its highspeed Pro and GTX variants with updated drivelines, upping performance by as much as 60kW and 235Nm and improving driving range by up to 17 kilometres to 556 kilometres. Volkswagen Australia will launch the ID.4 SUV and ID.5 SUV coupe in July 2024. The range is expected to start from about $60,000 plus on-road costs. Volkswagen said its new infotainment software was designed to be more intuitive in operation, while also being much faster and with increased functionality. A new voice assistant is said to respond more precisely to natural voice commands and offers access to new functions including cloud-based weather information, and even the status of sporting events or market stock prices. Optionally, a new premium sound

LAUNCH: Volkswagen Australia will launch the ID.4 SUV and ID.5 SUV coupe in July 2024. system from Harman Kardon offers 480 watts of sound and 10 speakers – including a centre speaker and subwoofer. The ID.4 and ID.5 range will also offer augmented reality head-up display – again updated – as an option, as well as illuminated touch sliders for the HVAC controls and audio system volume. The driving mode selector has now been removed from the housing of the

digital cockpit, replaced as a steering column switch like that found in the larger ID.7. Importantly, all ID.4 and ID.5 models equipped with VW’s 77kWh battery receive what the German manufacturer refers to as high-efficiency drive. The system combines a new electric drive motor on the rear axle and a new generation battery to reduce energy consumption and increase power and torque.

MOTOR GROUP

A new traction motor with 210kW is now found in rear-wheel drive models offering 60kW more than in the preceding range. Peak torque jumps a substantial 75 percent, or 235Nm, to 545Nm. Coupled with the additional front motor on AWD models, the Pro 4Motion version of the ID.4 and ID.5 now offers total system power of 210kW, or an increase of 15kW.

For the performance GTX range, buyers will find 250kW of total system power – up 30kW – and a faster zero to 100kmh time of 5.4 seconds. To complement the new drive system, VW has reconfigured its optional adaptive chassis control to allow ‘greater spread between comfort and dynamics settings’. VW says all ID.4 and ID.5 models equipped with the 77kWh battery may now be charged with sufficient power to travel 178km in just 10 minutes. RWD models may be charged at up to 135kW and AWD models at up to 175kW. The base model with its 52kWh battery now offers a charging capacity of 115kW, instead of 110kW. The changes are brought about by changes to the thermal management system that ‘makes sure the battery is pre-conditioned while driving and before the next DC charging stop’. Volkswagen head of sales, marketing and after sales, Imelda Labbe said customers could look forward to an exceptional technical performance with the new ID.4 and the new ID.5. “Software and infotainment are state-of-the-art. In addition, there are extensive assistance systems that leave nothing to be desired,” she said. “The further improved ID.4 and ID.5 models are at the top of the segment with their new technologies and the acknowledged balance of driving, comfort and spaciousness.”

FOR THE WEEK OCTOBER 21 TO OCTOBER 27

10 years ago: October 18, 2013

About 110 people have attended the official opening of Eventide Homes’ new $3.4 million Warne House wing in Stawell. Bob Jones of Freemasons Victoria opened the 20-bed special needs accommodation centre, named in honour of Roger Warne to recognise his 28 years as a volunteer governance board member. Five years ago: October 16, 2018

Facilities that promote flexible community sharing will be the primary focus in planning for a central Horsham sport, recreation and lifestyle precinct. Horsham Rural City Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said plans based on a long-term vision needed to embrace ideas of a shared future as well as progress and renewal One year ago: October 19, 2022

Stormwater from thunderstorms in coming days will put additional strain on an already swollen river system across the Wimmera. Wimmera River levels at Horsham had reached 3.29-metres as The Weekly Advertiser went to press last night. The flood peak of 3.6-metres is predicted for this morning.

Answers: 1. A calorie is a unit of energy, not of health or of weight. A device called a calorimeter can measure how much energy is in a particular food by burning it and then measuring how hot the surrounding water gets. 2. Scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin C, a nutrient critical to the body’s tissues, immune system and blood cells. Vitamin C is found in fruit, especially citrus, strawberries and capsicum. 3. C. Fibre. Your body gets its energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Fibre is mostly made of carbohydrates, too, but the molecules are too large for your body to digest. 4. Agamemnon. 5. Murtoa. There are some suggestions Cade was born in Horsham but his son Jack Cade has written that Murtoa was his birthplace. 6. Truth. There have been several deaths, mainly in Tasmania and NSW. The last official death caused by a bull ant sting was in 2003. Dogs are also at risk from the ant’s venom. 7. Baritone. 8. Jupiter. It is a giant storm. 9. Marsupials. 10. False. While it does mean ‘no trees’, it is a Latin word.

From The Weekly Advertiser archives: October 21, 1999 – Tomorrow’s running of the $25,000 Horsham Cup will carry a little more significance than usual. The select field of powerful thoroughbreds running in the 136th Horsham Cup will have the honour of being the last to tackle the current Horsham Racing Centre circuit in what is one of Australia’s oldest and most traditional cup races. Horsham Racecourse Reserve, the home of several sporting bodies, is about to receive a $1-million track upgrade, which will rate the course among the finest in country Victoria.

1. What is a calorie? 2. What deficiency in their diet caused pirates to contract the disease scurvy? 3. Nutritionists classify three main types of nutrients that provide energy to our bodies, also called macronutrients. Which of the following is not a macronutrient? A. Fats. B. Carbohydrates. C. Fibre. D. Proteins. 4. Many of us would have seen the movie Troy, loosely based on Homer’s Illiad and starring the likes of Australian Eric Banar, Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt. Notable Scottish Shakespearian actor Brian Cox played what character, who according to Greek Mythology, was King of Mycenae and commanded united Greek armed forces against the Trojans? 5. Australian psychiatrist Dr John Cade, 1912-1980, is credited with the 1948 discovery of lithium carbonate as a mood stabiliser in the breakthrough treatment of the mental illness bipolar disorder. He was born in what Wimmera town? 6. Truth or myth? There have been recorded human deaths from the sting of Australian bull ants, which include about 90 different species and some of which call the Wimmera-Mallee home. 7. In music, what do you call a man’s middle-range singing voice between tenor and bass? 8. If we were to sit in a Wimmera, Mallee or Grampians paddock with a powerful telescope at night we might be able to see the Great Red Spot, which is a prominent part of what? 9. Are Australian bettongs of the genus Bettongia, often called rat-kangaroos and with one species at least native to the Wimmera-Mallee, marsupials or rodents? 10. True or false? The term ‘Nullabor’ for the Nullabor plain that stretches north of the Australian Bight, is an Aboriginal word that loosely translates to mean ‘no trees’?

Christian Devotion

Christian Devotion I was recently in Melbourne, the city in whose suburbs I was born but which I no longer recognise. The city is a lot taller and faster than it was in my childhood. I felt a bit like an archaeologist as the streets and buildings are in the same place that they were in the 1980s, but there’s new stuﬀ in other places, and I had to rebuild in my mind what used to be in a certain place, to orient myself for where I was standing in that moment.

Head to theweeklyadvertiser.com.au and click on the classified link!

My horizons had shifted, and whilst I never actually got “lost”, (Melbourne CBD is a well-marked grid after all), I was caught out a few times in not knowing where to go. For those of us who have a religion, that set of guiding truths sets principles for our lives. It’s not about having rules to obey or tram-tracks to follow and not derail from, but about having landmarks that we can navigate between and horizons that show us where we are. For Christians we also have Jesus; a wise friend who knows his way around the landscape, and who has also lived in human places and knows what it is like to walk far on hard ground and search for a seat. Damien Tann. St Matthew’s Stawell, and Pomonal Community Uniting Church

Strong start to season W

BY SEAN O’CONNELL

immera basketballers will look to continue a strong start to their Country Basketball League south-west conference season, despite a round two slip-up from one team.

Horsham Hornets men’s and women’s teams both got their CBL seasons off to an ideal start, winning all of their round-two games after a bye in the opening round. On the road, Ararat Redbacks were not as lucky as they fell to Portland Coasters, who came out of the blocks quickly and pulled away in the second half. In the first of three CBL matches at Horsham Basketball Stadium, the Hornets women’s team was too good for the Colac Kookas. Ema and Maddi Iredell led the winning side in the scoring column, with 33 and 21 points, respectively. The home side was on top from the first tip with a dominant second term setting it on its way. An impressive defensive display saw the squad outscore the Kookas 29-6, laying the foundation for the 50-point margin at the final buzzer. The Hornets men’s team claimed a 30-point victory against Colac Kookas in the first of two games at the weekend. Austin McKenzie led the scorers column with 20-points, with Jake Hobbs and Tarkyn Benbow also reaching double figures. After an even first quarter, which saw the

Austin McKenzie

Hornets narrowly behind the Kookas, the home team was able to come close to 30 points in each of the next three quarters. In Portland, the Redbacks’ Hugh Toner and Adan Wisby were the main contributors offensively and were the only two players to reach double figures. Nathan Hardingham led the charge for the Coasters in its home win. The Coasters are early ladder leaders with a 100 percent success-rate after three games. The Hornets men followed up a Saturday night win with another triumph on Sunday. Terang Tornadoes were made to pay for a

second quarter hiccup in which they were outscored 20 to four. Cody Bryan and Matthew Lovel were key at the offensive end of the floor as the Hornets prevailed in an otherwise close contest that finished 82-65. This weekend, the Horsham Hornets women’s team enjoy a bye round. Ararat Redbacks again travel to take on the Colac Kookas on Sunday and will aim to take away lessons from the Hornets’ win against their opponent. Horsham Hornets’ men’s team also travel on Sunday for a match-up against Hamilton Hurricanes.

ON THE MOVE: Horsham Hornet Cody Bryan in action on Sunday.

New track for junior racers

orsham Motorsports Club volunteers and committee members built a brand-new junior quarter midget track in the centre of its existing full-sized speedway.

The new addition to the Blue Ribbon Raceway will allow the club to host events for boys and girls from the age of five to 16 years, who can compete in various categorisations of the quarter midget race car. The new Horsham track will complement south-west based Laang Speedway as another track in western Victoria that can host competition for these cars. The first event in Horsham is on November 5, with other events to be considered throughout the season depending on car numbers, and a state series round that has been allocated to the club in May. If cars in the Wimmera multiply quickly, other events can be scheduled locally. Avalon near Geelong, Bairnsdale, Nyora in South Gippsland, Wangaratta and Nagambie are other townships families could visit to compete throughout the season. Horsham race drivers Charlie Simpson, 8, Jed Simpson, 6, and their cousin Reed Muller, 6, have already signed up for the quarter midgets. Volunteer and Horsham Motor-

GREEN LIGHT: Horsham’s Charlie Simpson, 8, is looking forward to competing on Blue Ribbon Raceway’s new junior quarter midget track, located inside the Horsham venue’s full-sized speedway. sports Club committee member Dylan Simpson shared his excitement about the track’s construction. “With my two boys competing in the class and my nephew, we have been travelling to Avalon for most of our racing last season,” he said. “This development, as our club looks to diversify its income and develop junior race drivers, could not have come sooner.

“We all want to see our children having exciting opportunities and this gives parents another way to get their children into the community, out and about, making new friends and being active. “It is all positive to have this track constructed in the middle of the Blue-Ribbon Raceway.” Interested parents can contact Mr Simpson via the Horsham club and

become a member to keep informed of local opportunities. Horsham Motorsports Club thanks the hardworking volunteers who worked through the Bathurst 1000 weekend to get the track constructed and near completion for the November start to the Junior Quarter Midget season. – Dean Thompson

Gymnastics support Stawell Gymnastics Club will revamp its facilities with a $100,000 grant, secured with support from the Northern Grampians Shire. The money will be used to upgrade equipment and ensure gymnasts in the municipality can develop their skills in a quality gymnasium. Stawell Gymnastics Club president Elissa Chalmers said the club was beyond excited to receive funding to improve facilities. “Each week, more than 120 participants come along and join in our classes, not only improving gymnastic skills but skills for everyday life,” she said. “We have been gradually increasing and upgrading our equipment through fundraising and grants since the club began in 1996. “The $100,000 will significantly change the equipment and layout of our gym, giving participants and our coaching staff so much more to enjoy.” Northern Grampians Shire mayor Kevin Erwin said he was grateful to the Department of Sport and Recreation for their continued support of sport and athletics in regional areas. “The ability to offer quality athletics programs is integral to the ongoing health and well-being of our region,” he said. “I am grateful that our Improving Facilities for Stawell Gymnasts project has been recognised and would also like to extend my gratitude to the Department of Sport and Recreation for the generous support they provide. “It’s such great news for our wider community and fantastic news for the future of gymnastics in regional Victoria.” The project is scheduled to be delivered in the next 12 to 18 months in consultation with Gymnastics Victoria, the Department of Sport and Recreation and Northern Grampians Shire Council.

Blockbuster opening round BY SEAN O’CONNELL

fter a blockbuster opening weekend of one-day games, Horsham Cricket Association’s A Grade competition is preparing for its first two-day games of the season.

Eight teams will play this weekend in 150-over games in the second round of competition. Lubeck-Murtoa will come up against Horsham Saints at Coughlin Park, after its first round match-up with Blackheath-Dimboola did not go ahead. The Saints suffered defeat in its first game of the season against West Wimmera. Trevor Polkinghorne and Jobe Dickinson put together a strong partnership for the Warriors as they chased down the Saints’ 180-run total. The pair faced 71 balls between them to blunt the opposition’s bowling attack and reach the target with five overs to spare. The Saints’ openers, Gary Davidson, 91, and Mark Crafter, 35, scored the bulk of their team’s runs. Ben Sawyer, Saints, was successful with the ball, securing three wickets in an unsuccessful defensive effort on the field.

This weekend, West Wimmera take on Laharum at Davis Park, Nhill. The Demons lost in a first-round thriller against Horsham Tigers, with their 7-202 being surpassed in the final over of play. Dom Rose and Thomas Jones were the only remaining batsmen when the Tigers got over the line. The Tigers’ batting order had an even spread of contributors, with Brenton Hallam, Angus Adams and captain Tyler Puls all making respectable totals. Josh Mahoney was effective with the ball for the Demons in the loss, taking four wickets and finding the batter’s stumps twice. Captain Daniel Griffiths topscored for the Demons with 58 not-out. Bullants will play BlackheathDimboola after a first-round defeat at the hands of Homers. Troy Dumesny scored 80 runs for the Bullants as they set Homers a target of 178. However, wickets were hard to come by for the Bullants, with Jack Combe eventually securing the scalp of Patrick Mills for 84. Homers passed Bullants’ score with seven overs to spare and will

BY ‘ONE SHORT’ Grampians Cricket Association’s 2023-24 season starts on Saturday, with the pennant committee adopting last season’s format of one complete round of one-day games before Christmas, then dividing the competition into two divisions for the remainder of the season. Saturday’s draw will see Halls Gap 1 take on Rhymney-Moyston 2 at Halls Gap, Swifts-Great Western 1 verse Swifts-Great Western 2 at Great Western, Rhymney-Moyston 1 play Halls Gap 2 at Moyston, Pomonal take on St Andrews at Pomonal, and Chalambar has the bye. Grampians Cricket Association adopted live scoring this season and it will be interesting to see how teams familiarise themselves with this format. The Pomonal Tigers start the season as reigning premiers, but will have their hands full with the Saints, with whom they had some great tussles last season. Much will depend on the players taking the field this season. In the past, the Saints have struggled early in the season, gaining strength as the season unfolded, so this will probably favour the Tigers. The match at Great Western should result in a win to the number one team if the Combine selectors have judged it correctly – this is a match between the A Grade runner-up and B Grade premier. Missing will be prolific run-scorer Sam Cocks who has moved to Ballarat Cricket Association to try his luck with East Ballarat. Halls Gap, still smarting from last season’s B Grade grand final loss, will be anxious to start the new season with a win against Rymston’s second team. Similarly, Rhymney-Moyston 1 will look to open with a win against Gappers 2.

Nagorcka’s effort to dismiss Garrett Liston on 16 runs. Logan Millar finished with 58 runs, not-out for Homers in its run chase, finding the rope on five occasions.

Matt Dean has been elected president of Grampians Cricket Association for season 2023-24 following the association’s recent annual general meeting. Dean succeeds Marc Brilliant, who did not seek re-election after five years in the role. The positions of vice-presidents were not filled at the meeting, but administrators were all re-elected, with Scotney Hayter, secretary, Luke Stevens, treasurer, and Andrew Wood, assistant secretary-treasurer. Other board members elected were Gary Hannett, re-elected, and Matt Heffer. Wood was appointed umpires adviser, with umpires fees reset at $120 a day. A survey at the meeting showed team numbers were stable for the 2023-24 season.

Tournament series starts

he first of four Wimmera junior points tennis tournaments will take place on Sunday at Stawell.

More than 40 juniors will take to the courts at Stawell Tennis Club for under-10, under-12, under-14, and 15-18 years doubles and singles games. Following tournaments are scheduled at Horsham Lawn on November 26, Central Park on February 18 and Donald Lawn on March 3.

Organiser of the Stawell tournament, Blair Hart, said the tournaments were always good days of tennis for junior players. “It’s good to get the juniors on the court this early – we normally don’t hold the first tournament this early in the season,” he said. “It gives them a chance to play more competitive tennis.” Hart said the tournaments were also a chance for Wimmera juniors to meet other players. “I played these sorts of tournaments growing up and I still have

friends from them, so it’s a chance to get to know a lot of people,” he said. “The juniors always enjoy it. The tournaments are also a starting point for selections for the Wimmera team in tournaments across the state.” Hart said the day would begin with doubles games in the morning, followed by singles in the afternoon. He said entries for the tournament closed on Friday and the online registration could be found

through the Wimmera Regional Tennis Facebook page. The tournament leads into a bye week on October 28 for Central Wimmera Tennis Association. The weekend will see Wimmera juniors compete at a regional teams event in Traralgon and Tatura. A Wimmera Pride Championship event was also scheduled for the bye weekend but has been cancelled due to a lack of registrations.

Ladder positions still up for grabs T

BY DAVID BERRY

he heat is on with two rounds remaining in Volleyball Horsham’s winter season, with teams jockeying for prime positions going into finals.

In A Grade competition, Phantoms have sewn up top spot with a perfect eight from eight record and will be the team to catch come finals. The remaining three positions on the ladder are wide open, with Hellenic Nuggets sitting second, Tsunami third, Rangers fourth and Heidelberg fifth, still a mathematical chance to grab the final spot. In A Reserve, Von Steiger Shadows is clinging onto top spot, but has Rangers, Nitro and Waterhammers breathing down its neck. Sitting outside the top four are Vertically Challenged and Heidelberg – close enough if good enough – so if any of the top four slip up, they are eager to pounce. B Grade is a little clearer, with Blockparty firmly entrenched on top and Phantoms Blue holding down fourth spot. The race is on for the double chance between the two student teams in Horsham College’s Stars and Holy Trinity Lutheran’s Tigers. Both teams are improving as each week goes by and it will more than likely come down to their final-round clash to see who grabs the finals double chance.

In C Grade, Team USA sits comfortably on top, well clear of KFC Black which has inexplicably dropped its past two matches to the benefit of Murtoa Railway, which is eyeing off the double chance. Stars are hanging onto fourth spot, but KFC Red can steal that finals spot with a strong showing in the final rounds. The women’s competition is wide open and while Lakers are holding down top spot, they have Heidelberg in hot pursuit. Birds of Prey and Bingo Biddies round out the top-four, but all five teams outside the top four can realistically make the finals, right down to Tsunami on the bottom of the ladder, as the competition is that even anyone could win on a given night. The top three on the junior ladder are well and truly set, with HTLC Tigers holding down top spot and HTLC Thorns sitting second. Vipers are third, but after that any one of Horsham Primary 298 Strikers, Phantoms or Von Steiger Kids could grab the final spot in an exciting finish to the season.

came runner-up last year, Bendigo, Sunraysia, Horsham and Monash, and that is eight of the strongest teams ever to play in the top division of a Horsham tournament. Bairnsdale entered its women’s team into the premier division and is working on its men for the reserves division. Deakin Uni has entered a men’s team into the reserves division, while

Adelaide United will also be represented in men’s and women’s premier two division. A clear indication of just how big the event could be is that Bendigo Dragon City tournament on the weekend of October 28 and 29 has 51 teams entered and usually Horsham receives five percent more, so we could be looking at 55 to 60 teams, which is going to stretch our facilities to their maximum. At last year’s event, a record 47 teams participated and three were knocked back after entries closed, so the event is on track to surpassing that milestone already. The tournament will also see the fifth staging of ‘Harry’s Match’, in memory of Harry Denson, shining a light on men’s mental health and raising money for Beyond Blue. The Good Ol’ Boys, a group of Harry’s mates, will come together on the Friday night for the match and will take on a Volleyball Horsham ‘All Stars’ team. Fifteen specially designed Volleyball Horsham ‘All Stars’ playing tops have been made and will be auctioned throughout the weekend, with all proceeds raised going to Beyond Blue. The 28th annual Horsham Tournament is coming together nicely and we are looking forward to a great weekend of volleyball.

Growing Pains and Leg Pain in Teenagers In these fast growing years, teenagers can suffer a lot of pain in their legs and it’s often dismissed as simple growing pains. Now that’s not completely correct. As teenagers grow so rapidly their muscles and ligaments have trouble keeping up and the rapidly growing joint puts pressure on these areas causing pain. Also, a very real issue is that areas are out of alignment or have been jammed up for awhile. Whilst teenagers have been growing slowly it’s not so noticeable, however with sudden growth spurts it highlights a hidden problem. This is what a parent doesn’t want to miss, because it can set teenagers up for ongoing issues that can be dismissed as simple growing pains. A chiropractor can also see a teenager with bilateral knee pain and heading for surgery for that knee that keeps dislocating, discovers that they have a sacral problem which is undiagnosed, because it’s knee pain. The sacrum is often thought as a solid tail bone. Well in young children it is five individual bones which don’t start to join to form one bone until they are around 13yrs of age. Each one can misalign or jam up. As a chiropractor we look at all areas of the spine and check all joints in the legs to find out what is not moving properly and the best way to correct it. Keeping teenagers moving well helps them grow straighter, stronger and assists them to perform better at their activities.

FAVOURITE DAY OF THE WEEK: Dorothy Adamson, 92, looks forward to social golf every Monday. She says making friends on the green, including Val Scott, left, and Jenny Clarke, is a highlight. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

“I have an ambition to raise

steemed Wimmera league the Eagles up the ladder, coach Matt Walder will but how quickly and how far take the reins of Warrack Eawill be determined by us” gles senior football team for – Matt Walder season 2024.

Walder coached at the Eagles from 2001 to 2004 and will be returning to them after a recent stint as coach of 2023 premiership and 2022 runner-up premiership team, Ararat. He said he was to aiming to ‘make a difference’ at the club and bringing the Eagles back to being a relevant team in the league. “The whole club is excited for 2024 and there’s a buzzing in the background, which is a terrific starting point,” he said. “I have an ambition to raise the Eagles up the ladder, but how quickly and how far will be determined by us. “I don’t expect miracles in 12 months, but I want us to turn a few heads.” In season 2023, Warrack Eagles won one game and finished at the bottom of the ladder. The year prior, the Eagles fin-

ished the season second from the bottom with four wins. Walder said he was anticipating young players would grow and develop under a new framework. “I will be hard, but fair,” he said. “I’ll have certain disciplines, but acknowledge individuality and respect what different players can provide. “I want to be able to extract the best out of players and turn that into a good team performance.” Walder said previous experience in the Wimmera league would also work in his favour. He said there was lots of experience and knowledge coaches could take away from people and players of a strong team. “I’ll bring how we created a winning culture and work with the players towards that,” he said.

Invitation to ‘non-threatening’ Mondays As prime golf weather approaches, women interested in learning golf, or having a social day out, are invited to join a program on Monday mornings at Horsham Golf Club. For almost 20 years, Julie Obst has organised a nine-hole social program for women on Mondays from 9am. Ms Obst said the program involved non-threatening ambrose and stableford games. “I have been amazed by the friendships formed and the golfers who have evolved over the years,” she said.

“It’s somewhere women can start to learn the etiquette of the game and those who become good often proceed into playing Tuesdays and Thursdays as well. “It’s a lovely social morning for anyone of any age who doesn’t want to play more than nine holes or doesn’t want to play competitively.” Dorothy Adamson, 92, has been playing golf on Monday mornings since the inception of the program. “I started playing golf at Pimpinio when I was 60,” she said.

“I joined at the Horsham club when I was 70. “I didn’t want to play golf, but I got dragged into it and I am so glad I was. “At my age, the most important thing about Monday morning golf is the friendships. “Monday is my favourite day of the week.” Ms Obst said people wanting more information about the program could call her on 044 768 713. – Abby Walter

pring racing season is upon us, with punters, those closer to the stables and others wanting a day out preparing to descend on Horsham Racecourse for this year’s big day.

Sunday’s Horsham Cup will be the latest instalment in the more than 100-year history of the event and promises an exciting day of racing action. Horsham and District Racing Club president Chris ‘Pop’ Murray said Wimmera trainer Paul Preusker would be one to watch in this year’s headline race. “He’s flying at the moment and his strike-rate is unbelievable,” Mr Murray said. Preusker is a three-time winner of the cup, finishing first in 2021 with Dean Holland riding Orleans Rock. The trainer also scored back-to-

back wins in 2015 and 2016 with his partner and now fellow trainer, Holly McKechnie, riding Magic Consol. Preusker most recently had success at the Murtoa Cup, taking out both feature races. Mr Murray said there would be a variety of attractions during the day, both on the track and on the other side of the fence. “Fashions on the field is going to be big this year,” he said. “Former AFL player and coach Justin Leppitsch is a guest speaker, as well as horse trainer Henry Dwyer. “We are also opening a new bookies ring.” Club manager Charmayne Parry said gates open at 11am on the day, with bars open from noon and music playing all day. The Melbourne Cup trophy will also be present at the racecourse on the day.
