Stay alert, stay sober, stay alive T

BY SARAH SCULLY

he Victorian road toll shows 10 people have died on Wimmera roads in 2016, with a further 74 suffering serious injury from road trauma.

What it does not show is the devastation felt by families and friends, the ongoing grief, the empty place at the Christmas table and the lingering question: could this tragedy have been avoided?

Wimmera road safety and crime prevention advisor Acting Senior Sergeant Di Thomson has implored the region’s drivers to look out for themselves and each other during the busy Christmas-New Year period.

“We talk about statistics a lot, but at the end of the day, these are people,” she said.

“Everyone’s lives are adjusted when there is a death or serious injury from a road incident.

“That legacy – remembered every Christmas from that year on – is tragic. It sends a shiver down your spine.”

Acting Snr Sgt Thomson said police had identified five primary causes of road fatalities and serious injuries: Excessive speed, driver distraction, not having correct restraints in place, fatigue and impaired driving.

“We generally find one or more of these have contributed,” she said.

“If you know you’re going to drink, don’t drive. If you have a mobile phone, turn it off. Or even better, put it in the glovebox.

“If you are driving you should be concentrating on driving the car, nothing else. Nothing is as important as

arriving alive. No one wants to spend their holidays visiting loved ones in hospital or worse, arranging funerals.”

Acting Snr Sgt Thomson said it was important drivers adapted to conditions, particularly if they were unfamiliar with roads.

“One of the recent fatalities in the region happened because a driver didn’t see the give-way sign. It simply came down to not knowing the environment,” she said.

“Each case is different. My point is, you just never know.

“We’re all doing 100kmh on the highway.

“In the city, it might just be a fender bender but when two cars travelling 100kmh on a highway collide, the velocity is almighty.”

Acting Snr Sgt Thomson said road

trauma also affected emergency service workers.

“Police, ambulance, State Emergency Service – they all have to deal with what they have seen, day in, day out,” she said. “Our first responders not only have to deal with road trauma, they also have to do the death notification to family. Police will spend a lot time on the road away from their family and friends during the festive season to try to ensure people get where they are going safely.”

Operation Roadwise

Victoria Police launched Operation Roadwise on Friday.

The 24-day operation targets dangerous driving, drug-driving and irresponsible behavior.

Acting Snr Sgt Thomson said police would employ a highly visible and

mobile presence to encourage safe driving.

“The most effective safety system in the car is the driver,” she said.

“We know if we can deter people from taking the risks in the first place, or alternatively get them off the road before high-traffic periods, we can save lives, which is what this operation is all about.

“Stay alert, stay sober, stay within the limit and stay alive.”

Acting Snr Sgt Thomson said everyone had a role to play to reduce road trauma.

“The police will be out and about doing their part to try to ensure every road user arrives home to their family safely,” she said.

“It is up to the community to do their part.”

Heat warning for festive break Heat-wave conditions are forecast for the Wimmera throughout the Christmas weekend.

Forecasters have predicted the temperature to climb to the mid-30s on Friday, push on into high-30s on Christmas Eve and reach 40 on Christmas Day. They are also predicting low 40s on Boxing Day before conditions ease on December 27.

Victoria’s Commissioner for Senior Victorians Gerard Mansour warned elderly people were generally at risk from extremely hot conditions.

“Seniors can very easily become dehydrated, which can lead to heat exhaustion or heatstroke.

Heatstroke is a serious medical emergency, which can result in permanent damage to vital organs, or even death, if not treated immediately,” he said. “We all have a role to play to help seniors survive the heat. During the festive sea-

son, one of the best gifts we can give is to think of someone who might be alone.

“Regular contact with an older person can help alleviate loneliness, as well as ensuring they are safe and prepared – it could save a life.”

The Survive the Heat campaign is raising awareness of how deadly extreme heat can be, and to share tips on staying safe in the heat.

There are simple steps all seniors should take on hot days such as: • Drinking more water • Keeping cool in air-conditioned buildings • Closing blinds • Staying indoors.

“If you have to go out, wear loose, light-coloured clothes, schedule activities in the coolest part of the day and never leave children in cars,” Mr Mansour said.

Jules’s heartwarming gesture Horsham youngster Jules Darrington hoped to raise $37 for a cancer charity in honour of his late mate, Max Robertson.

His mother Sigrid Darrington said she and her family were blown away when they raised almost $1000 from a bake sale at Woolworths on Friday.

“I thought we would raise maybe $300 but I didn’t expect anything more than that,” she said.

“The response was incredible.”

Max died of acute leukaemia in June 2014, aged 10.

Mrs Darrington said Jules, 8, and Max were great mates.

“The Robertsons are like family to us,” she said.

“We lost Max a couple of years ago and Jules has been missing him a fair bit lately.

“He came out of his room one day and said, ‘I miss Max. What about if we raise some money for him?’.

“I asked Jules what he wanted to do and he said he didn’t need all his toys, so he could sell them.

“I said that’s a lovely gesture, but let’s see if we can think of something else. So we decided to do a bake sale.

“He really is the most lovely, generous boy.”

Mrs Robertson said Jules’s generosity was a heartwarming gesture during a difficult Wednesday, December 21, 2016

time. She said this year would mark the family’s third Christmas without Max. Money raised from the bake sale will go to Redkite, an Australian cancer charity that supports children and young people with cancer, along with their families.

Mrs Robertson said she chose the organisation because it assisted her family when times were tough.

“They helped us a lot with groceries and food when we were really flat,” she said.

“I thought it would be a good way to give something back to

them and to raise awareness of what they do.”

Mrs Darrington thanked everyone who supported Jules’s efforts to pay tribute to Max. She said people who wanted to make a donation to Redkite could call her on 0466 653 435 by the end of the week.

People can also visit www. redkite.org.au for more information or to donate.

Max’s legacy lives on at Horsham Primary School, where a memorial running track bears his name.

Plenty to celebrate

BY SARAH SCULLY

W

arracknabeal’s Tyler Arnold received the 18th-birthday present of a lifetime on Friday when his key opened a lock to a new Ford Mustang.

Tyler was one of 13 finalists vying for The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations MIXX FM and 3WM’s $50,000 Win A Mustang competition at an outside broadcast at Norton Motor Group in Horsham.

“We were joking on the day about how we were going to win it because it was my 18th birthday,” he said.

“I certainly didn’t expect it, but it was definitely a good birthday present.”

Finalists were drawn from entries at participating businesses during the six-week Win A Mustang competition.

Each finalist received a red balloon containing a numbered key at Friday’s grand draw.

The finalists were chosen at random to see if their key fitted a padlock locked in front of the vehicle.

The crowd, informed Tyler was celebrating his birthday, erupted in applause when his key opened the lock.

“It’s been unreal,” Tyler said.

“I’ve had so many people I didn’t know come up to me and congratulate me.

“I also had so many friends messaging me telling me to buy a lotto ticket.”

A video capturing the moment Tyler won the Mustang on The Weekly Advertiser’s Facebook page garnered 120 shares and more than 400 likes, along with messages of congratulations.

“The response was amazing,” Tyler said.

“All my friends shared the video on social media – I couldn’t keep up with it.”

P-Plates

Tyler will sit his P-Plate test today.

He said he was ‘fairly confident’ he would pass and if successful, would apply to VicRoads for an exemption to drive the Mustang.

December has been a big month for Tyler, who graduated from Warracknabeal Secondary College with an ATAR of 91.35.

“I was very happy with my results,” he said.

Tyler plans to study a Bachelor of Science at University of Melbourne.

He will take possession of the Mustang at Norton Motor Group today.

Norton Motor Group dealer principal Bill

Norton said the Win A Mustang competition was the most successful campaign his business had been involved with during a strong 25-year relationship with Ace Radio.

“Over the past few days since the promotion wound up I have been inundated with people telling me how good it was and how positive everyone’s reaction had been,” he said.

The fact our Facebook page has had more than 13,000 views up until Monday morning goes to show how far and wide the promotion spread.”

Ace Radio Horsham general manager Scott Grambau said the competition was a great success for everyone involved.

“It captured the imagination of all ages and was well received across both our radio stations, newspaper and our digital assets,” he said.

“It was great to see a nice young lad win the prize on his 18th birthday.”

Mr Grambau thanked Norton Motor Group for partnering with Ace Radio for the promotion.

Christmas comes in many guises P

BY DEAN LAWSON

lease Christmas, can you just hurry up and arrive. It’s been a long year and some of us need a breather.

It’s a message that would resonate with many as they contemplate a much-needed break from a hectic day-to-day work environment.

For some, there won’t be a break at all – someone after all has to keep the fires burning.

For others, their expectation of relaxing time off will be blown to the wind as soon as members of the extended family pour through the front door loaded with everything from hugs, kisses and gifts, to of course, all sorts of yap and family controversy.

Who needs a rest anyway? Anyone have a bottle opener?

In all seriousness, the fact that so many of us count down the days to Christmas perhaps tells us about the potential imbalance in our lives.

Wednesday, December 21, 2016

EDITORIAL Someone once said ‘you work to live, not live to work’ but how many people with sound work ethics seriously adhere to this philosophy?

Surely we must take time, and Christmas is as good a time as any, to reflect, to rest and to reinvestigate the real person we are, free from any contrived diplomacy that might dictate everyday life.

That slip-away moment to snooze off Christmas lunch on an old chair in the shed while the hubbub continues inside is priceless.

But beware! While you might see Christmas as that once-in-a-year opportunity to engage in self-indulgent nothingness, it is altogether different for young children, people driven by faith and or goodwill and all sorts of traditionalists.

And sometimes it all changes. With the

aim of doing a whole lot of nothing, you might end up doing a whole lot of something that is as good as having a rest.

Hmm! Perhaps it’s all about just doing something different, something that brings a smile to the face and generates a sense of contentment.

Christmas means so many different things to so many different people.

It is hard to knock. It is based on a Christian celebration that is as much about humanity as it is about religious doctrine.

Being able to get on with, being good to and making sacrifices for and celebrating each other is a decent message for everyone, regardless of faith.

Ignore anyone who says otherwise – Christmas in Australia is for everyone, regardless of culture, belief or spirituality.

It is particularly special for children.

From everyone at The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM, have a good Christmas and whatever your circumstance, try to enjoy the occasion.

Networks ‘essential’ Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said Neighbourhood Watch networks would be better resourced to continue providing services under a future Coalition government.

She said the Labor State Government had made a reckless decision to scrap funding for Neighbourhood Watch.

“A Liberal-Nationals Coalition Government would provide $2-million over four years to fund locally based crime prevention initiatives and central head-office co-ordination,” she said “This comes after the current State Government failed to renew the $600,000 in funding over four years the previous Coalition government provided.

“Aside from the funding cut, the chief executive officer resigned, leaving the organisation with limited resources to run and co-ordinate programs and community safety initiatives.

“The Liberal-Nationals Coalition understands the importance of Neighbourhood Watch in supporting our local police, especially as we see crime skyrocket and police stations understaffed or closed under Labor.

“Our hard-working Neighbourhood Watch volunteers have served our local communities for decades and have helped to keep our communities safe.

“They deserve our support and that is why a Liberal-Nationals Coalition government will commit this funding.”

Brownless guest at pacing cup

BY TONY LOGAN

T

rots Country Cups Carnival ambassador Billy Brownless will be guest of honour for the running of the $70,000 Horsham Pacing Cup on Sunday, January 8.

The former Geelong Cats star forward and popular AFL Footy Show panelist will attend his first Horsham pacing and trotters cups gala race meeting at Horsham Racing Centre in his continuing ambassadorial role.

Brownless will give away signed footballs, pose with footy and trots fans for selfies, sign autographs, mingle with the crowd throughout the afternoon and no doubt, look forward to a ‘chat and a coldie’.

Adult patrons at the cup have the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – competing against Brownless out on the spacious 1000-metre circuit, with a horse and professional driver in a double-seater sulky race.

Hopefully the lucky patron can topple the big bloke from his lofty pedestal after his much-celebrated victory at Melton with Kerryn Manning, when launching the 2015 Summer of Glory Carnival.

Brownless will touch base with the legendary Great Western horsewoman at Horsham to relive their moment under the spotlight.

Manning has targeted Horsham’s $70,000 Group Two contest with her six-year-old gelding Ideal Success.

The former New Zealand pacer has won six of his nine starts for Manning since crossing the ditch to Australia about 12 months ago.

The bay is now a triple Trots Country Cups winner, with the Stawell, Ararat and Ouyen trophies planted on the mantelpiece of his connections. Manning would be delighted if Ideal Success could make it number four at Horsham.

“He’ll probably run in the Popular Alm Free

CHALLENGE: Trots Country Cups Carnival ambassador Billy Brownless after his victory at Melton with Kerryn Manning.

For All on Saturday night at Melton,” Manning said.

“Then there doesn’t look to be anything suitable for him until Horsham, so we will just keep him tuned up for that.”

A must-do for everyone at Horsham on cups day is the new virtual reality trots experience.

Trots fans of all ages just have to don the VR headset and they’ll find themselves out on the racetrack, immersed in a race-type situation, with a 360-degree camera showing them the action through the eyes of a trots driver from any chosen angle.

So pack the picnic basket and enjoy a fabulous

afternoon with an eight-race program of live racing action.

Buy a ticket in the Goodform Punters Club, enjoy the live music, watch the pony trots and relax on the spacious lawns. And to keep the kids happy there’s plenty of free entertainment, prizes and giveaways.

Group records $679,000 surplus

E

ast Grampians Health Service celebrated a successful year at its 21st annual meeting, reporting an operating surplus of $679,000.

More than 100 people attended the meeting at Ararat Performing Arts Centre, including many staff members who received awards on the night.

Royal Women’s Hospital chief medical officer Dr Mark Garwood was guest speaker.

Health service board president Matthew Wood said being recognised and awarded the Premier’s Health Service of the Year Award for a medium-sized health service for the past two years was a particular highlight.

“This outstanding achievement acknowledges the role of the board to affect the strategic direction of East Grampians Health Service and the operational partnership between the board and chief executive Nick Bush to communicate strategic policies and

transform them into practicalities,” he said.

“The awards demonstrate our ongoing commitment to our community.

“But we know we must never rest on our achievements; we have to keep working with our community to ensure we deliver appropriate services that meet their changing needs and expectations.”

Mr Wood said EGHS aimed to respond to the community’s health-service demands in a financially responsible manner – both now and into the future.

He said in order to do this the service had to be commercial in its operations and invest in its assets.

“We have had a very successful year in 2016, reporting an operating surplus of $679,000,” he said.

“This has come about by EGHS pursuing some different business models and ensuring we fully use our capacity.

“We have promoted the use of private health insurance and saw a substantial uptake by patients.

“By choosing to use private health insurance or Department of Veteran Affairs’ status, many of the high-value costs associated with a patient’s procedure are passed onto the insurer.

“This means EGHS makes a higher margin on those patients’ stay.”

Mr Wood said EGHS’s aged-care services had run at near full capacity during the past year, driven by the adoption of the Montessori Model of Care at its 70 Lowe Street centre.

He said the outcomes had generated a surplus of money that could now be used for funding improvements across the health service.

“These can take many forms, but primarily we choose to invest directly in staff training, extend our scope of maintenance works and fund shortfalls in capital projects,” he said.

“In 2016, we invested more than

Staff awarded scholarships East Grampians Health Service officials presented scholarships and bursaries to staff members at the organisation’s annual meeting.

The health service awards scholarships and bursaries to employees who wish to further their studies and build on their careers in the clinical field.

East Grampians Health Service Building for the Future Foundation chair David Hosking presented two $10,000 bursaries.

Rebbekkah Seeary will continue her studies for an Advanced Diploma of Dental Prosthetics and Jessica Baird will undertake a Bachelor of Nursing.

EGHS board president Matthew Wood said workforce was the most crucial element in offering services.

“We congratulate the Building for the Future Foundation for its initiative of supporting East Grampians Health Service’s strategic objective of developing a rural centre of excellence for obstetrics. These scholarships support this,” he said.

An Angela Laidlaw Clinical Scholarship went to Louise Westrup, who will complete a Graduate Certificate in Nursing – Specialisation Dialysis.

The Laidlaw family donates

$2.3-million in asset replacement and maintenance projects. This is reflected in the state of our grounds and buildings as well as having up-to-date equipment for our staff members to use.

“We thank all community members, foundations, the Department of Health and Human Services and other bodies who have contributed to these projects, and I note that EGHS contributed more than $400,000 towards these works from our operations.

“I thank all staff on their efforts in creating such a good result, and our investment of these funds back into the health service will mean the benefits will be felt for years to come.”

Achievement awards were presented to staff who successfully completed further education in the past year.

They went to Amanda Cranstoun, Angela Graham, Anita Kennedy, Annette Evans, Ashley Leggett, Carolyn Akesson, Charmaine Bartlett, Chris-

A dream career L

BY SARAH SCULLY

ong-serving Horsham maternal and child health nurse Virginia Butcher grew up planning to become a teacher.

It was only on her retirement from a health-care career spanning four decades she realised how closely her life’s work reflected her childhood dream.

“My mother was a nurse but I never really thought of following in her footsteps – I was sure I was going to be a teacher,” Ms Butcher said.

“In August, 1968, I decided I would apply to nursing school instead.

“I grew up in a Seventh Day Adventist household and we had ties to a big hospital in Sydney, so I flew there to meet the matron.”

Ms Butcher said during her interview she discovered the program was full and was put on a waiting list.

“I thought if I couldn’t go to nursing school, what was I going to do? I thought maybe I could work in a bookshop or a newsagent, but I knew by then I really wanted to be a nurse,” she said.

“Luckily, before I finished matriculation, I got a letter to say someone had withdrawn.”

After becoming a registered nurse, Ms Butcher spent some time in London before taking on a job at Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Hospital for Women – the first hospital in the state operated for women, by women – now part of Monash Medical Centre.

“My mother had previously worked at the same hospital, so I must have been influenced by her in some ways,” Ms Butcher said.

“When I was in my second year of nursing I knew midwifery was what I wanted to do.”

Gold standard

Following a stint as a midwife, Ms Butcher qualified as a maternal and child health nurse in 1974.

“To be a maternal and child health nurse was really special, because in Victoria you were registered separately,” she said.

“All of the states do it in different ways, but Victoria has the gold standard.”

Ms Butcher said she worked full time for 15 years before spending 10 years as a relieving midwife in the 1990s.

“I’ve covered a big swathe of the western part of Victoria,” she said.

“I’ve worked in just about all the regional centres and towns.”

A friendship with former long-serving Horsham maternal and child health nurse Carolyn Baird resulted in Ms Butcher becoming a regular visitor to the Wimmera.

“Carolyn would ring me up in the ’90s when she needed a reliever,” she said.

“The reason I was happy to keep coming was how wonderful the people were. They would say to me, ‘oh you’re back again, Virginia’.

“Little did I know I would end up there permanently.”

Ms Butcher said her time as a relieving maternal and child health nurse helped her experience a wide range of people, places and values.

“It is amazing how each baby and family is different,” she said.

Wednesday, December 21, 2016

“They are all so special. You support them to raise their children the way they wish to or hope to.

“You wouldn’t be able to stay in the job if you didn’t suspend judgement.

“You need to understand that people come from all walks of life.”

Ms Butcher said home visits were an important part of the maternal and child health role.

“We aim for 100 percent home visits in Horsham,” she said.

“To be invited into people’s homes requires a huge amount of trust. Home visits help us understand about their lives.

“We meet them and see where they are at at that particular time.”

Ms Butcher retired from her role earlier this month, two weeks shy of 16 years with Horsham Rural City Council.

Celebration

Council staff hosted a morning tea in her honour.

“It was absolutely lovely,” Ms Butcher said.

“Like every milestone that happens, it goes by so quickly. I had an absolutely wonderful time in Horsham.

“There are lots of wonderful people who work at the city council and there is a great spirit of support and friendship within the organisation.”

Ms Butcher said one of highlights of her career was instigating the Delkaia Aboriginal Best Start Program in Horsham.

The prevention and early intervention program aims to improve the health, development, learning and wellbeing of all Victorian children, from conception through to a child’s transition to school.

“I knocked on the door of every Aboriginal family on our books to see if they would support the program,” Ms Butcher said.

“Afterwards I stood in the reception room at council and when the councillors came out of a meeting I asked every single one personally if they would support it.”

In 2004, Wimmera Health Care Group became the lead agency for the program in the region.

“It’s something that makes me very happy,” she said.

“I met some fantastic people through that program, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. We all had the same aim, to improve the health and education for young Aboriginal people and to help put them in the best position to go onto find meaningful work and careers.

“Wimmera Uniting Care took over for a while and I’m pleased to say Goolum Goolum Aboringinal Co-operative is now the lead agency.”

Ms Butcher said she also enjoyed working with migrant families and students.

“I’ve had some wonderful young people from schools across the Wimmera,” she said.

“I’ve also worked with many students from Victoria University and several others. Some were general nurses, others came as part of a degree in rural medicine program and I’ve also had student dieticians.

“I really enjoyed helping them with their learning and passing on the baton to other nurses.”

A year of achievement As we sign off on 2016 and look forward to 2017, The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM general manager Scott Grambau has summed up a big year.

Following are his thoughts.

Wow, what a year it’s been.

The team at The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM have achieved wonderful milestones.

We have played more than 50,000 songs and written and produced about 5000 radio commercials. We have also been more informative and had more giveaways than ever.

The Weekly Advertiser has produced more than 10,000 newspaper advertisements, the editorial team has put more than two million words to paper and we are going to more towns, houses and critically more people than ever before.

We are kicking a lot of goals.

This year The Weekly Advertiser editor Dean Lawson won an Australian editorial-writing award for weekly newspapers.

Dean was one of five Australian finalists and brought home the bacon against stiff competition while rubbing shoulders with newspaper men and women from around the world.

The Weekly Advertiser again celebrated strong results at Victorian Country Press Association advertising awards.

Scott Grambau Competing in a category against major regional mastheads, it was highly commended for an entry in the ‘best digital advertisement’ section and commended in ‘best print classified house promotion’ and ‘best print or digital house advertisement’ sections.

We also produced the second edition of our breakthrough Wimmera Lifestyle magazine.

Both the radio stations and newspaper had an incredible response to our ‘We Love’ promotion involving Horsham, Stawell, Warracknabeal and Nhill districts. It was one of the best shop-locally promotions I have seen the team produce, with a record number of businesses participating.

The radio side of our business also shone this year.

Again, we were in the national spotlight, winning an

Australian Commercial Radio Award, or ACRA, for Best Community Project for our broadcast of a telethon to raise money for a Wimmera Cancer Centre.

As part of a dedication to our sporting communities, Local Football Live broadcasts of regional footy kicked off and none of us were prepared for the public response it received – so much so that the program was nominated for 2016 AFL Victoria Community Media Awards, and again a finalist in the ACRAs. This industry is all about making things work through relationships.

This year a partnership between the newspaper, radio stations and our clients gave away a cruise to Hawaii, tickets to rock concerts, went to the footy, the soccer, the boxing, the tennis, the cricket and the Melbourne Cup. We also gave away a $30,000 home-improvement package and of course a Mustang car.

We are dedicated to our readers and listeners and consider our clients friends and in some cases family.

We wish you all a merry Christmas and happy New Year.

– Scott Grambau, general manager The Weekly Advertiser, 3WM and MIXX FM

LEGACY CHRISTMAS: Wimmera Legacy has helped regional war widows celebrate Christmas with lunch in Horsham. Pictured are, from left, Pat Young, Alex Stewart, Marie Foley and BettyLou Stewart.

Spreading festive cheer As we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the arrival of 2017, I take this opportunity to wish everyone in the Lowan electorate a very merry Christmas and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.

The Christmas holiday season is an opportunity to spend time with family and friends and to reflect on the important things in life. Holidays can bring great moments of joy and hopefully long stretches of relaxation.

I hope everyone enjoys this time, but also remains vigilant and safe on the roads, in our waterways, pools, out in nature and even in the backyard.

Emma Kealy needs I encourage everyone to shop locally to support our local traders and economy.

It has been a privilege to represent and work for the people of Lowan in 2016. For me it has

been a busy and fulfilling second year in politics and I have greatly enjoyed the diversity of individuals, groups and organisations I have worked with to help make western Victoria a better place.

The strength and generosity of our rural communities is one of our greatest assets.

Please take the time to look out for others in our community, to extend the hand of friendship and offer the spirit of Christmas to those around you.

Again, I wish everyone across the Lowan electorate a merry Christmas, and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.

Counting our blessings As we approach the festive season, our thoughts naturally turn to our family and friends, as we count our blessings and look forward to what we hope the new year will bring.

It’s also a time when we tend to look outside ourselves, to people all around the world, many of whom are facing challenges that we have never known.

Over 2000 years ago, some wise men saw a light in the sky which foretold of a miraculous event and the men travelled a great distance to rejoice in this event – the birth of Jesus, to poor and humble parents.

However, not everyone was pleased with the arrival of the baby Jesus and in fear for their child’s life, the new mother and father fled into the night,

Andrew Broad becoming refugees in a foreign land. As Jesus grew into a man, he, just like his father, worked with his hands. They were ‘tradies’ but Jesus was driven by a greater vision.

He became a leader and public speaker, who in the equivalent of one term of government – three years – changed the

world. He championed ideas like ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ and to ‘turn the other cheek’.

He taught people to find solace and guidance through prayer and even in this modern world, the words of Jesus still open parliament every day.

This Christmas, I hope that the people in the Wimmera Mallee can find the peace and joy they seek, while extending kindness and compassion to the people we all share our world with.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, may the essence of the Christmas spirit be yours.

Merry Christmas and I wish you a safe and happy New Year.

– Andrew Broad, Nationals Member for Mallee

This year has again shown the strength and resilience of people living in western Victoria.

The 2016 year saw us go from drought to flood and for many farmers, a bumper harvest.

But 2016 hasn’t been great for all.

Last week’s announcement that Stawell Gold Mine would close means about 150 people will spend Christmas facing an uncertain 2017.

My personal commitment is to work with those impacted by the decision and to ensure we provide extra assistance to ensure Stawell not only survives, but also thrives.

It has also been a year where the contribution of volunteers

Jaala Pulford in our community has been essential. As a community, we must remember and thank the various charity, volunteer service club and emergency service workers from many organisations throughout western

Victoria who bring some joy, hope and help to the people who need it most at Christmas.

Christmas is a great time to catch up with family and friends and reflect on the year that has passed.

Sadly, though, there are many for whom Christmas is a time of great loneliness and loss and we must remember those people at this time of year.

Please also take care on the roads and in and around the water these holidays.

Finally, I’d like to wish all The Weekly Advertiser readers a happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.

State money for bypass A

Western Highway bypass of Ararat and Beaufort is a step closer with the State Government committing $60-million for pre-construction work.

The funding will also cover planning costs for highway improvements between Stawell and the South Australian border.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier Colin Brooks was in the region earlier this week to announce the commitment.

The government will allocate $25-million for planning and detailed design for each of the Ararat and Beaufort bypass proj-

ects, ensuring both are ready for construction.

Mr Brooks said community feedback would help determine the best route for bypasses north of the towns. Both projects are in the early stages of planning.

A Western Highway project has already led to the conversion of 55 kilometres of highway from two to four lanes between Ballarat and Buangor.

Mr Brooks said Ararat and Beaufort bypasses remained missing links in the highway duplication.

“At the moment, we have a situation where the highway duplication ends at either side of

Beaufort, meaning four lanes of traffic must merge to two lanes through the town,” he said.

“Without a bypass, it will be the same situation in Ararat when the next stage of the highway duplication occurs between Buangor and Ararat.

“Ararat and Pyrenees councils have been strong supporters of the duplication project and I know both are keen for the bypasses to commence.

“Our government is working to make the Western Highway safer and more reliable, and ensure our local producers can move their goods as safely and efficiently as possible.”

Mr Brooks said the government had also approved a further $10-million for highway planning work between Stawell and the South Australian border to deal with the high volume of freight traffic.

He said as part of the $10 million package, road rehabilitation works would be carried out to improve the safety and reliability of the highway.

The state announcement matches a further $60-million committed by the Federal Government in November as part of a Victorian Infrastructure Package.

Ararat gift appeal Ararat Emergency Relief Committee has launched its 2016 Toy and Gift Christmas Appeal.

The annual appeal encourages Ararat and district residents to provide gifts and toys for underprivileged children in the lead-up to Christmas.

Kings Cars’ Michael Smith said the concept was simple.

“We ask residents and businesses to step back from the Christmas rush and spare a little for those in need this festive season,” he said.

“Be it cash or a present, either donation makes a huge difference to someone less fortunate than others.”

Mr Smith encouraged individuals and groups to donate presents, which will be placed under a Christmas tree in Kings Cars’ showroom at 182 High Street.

He said in past years, the presents had been collected and dropped off at Ararat Emergency Relief Committee on Christmas Eve, wrapped by members and gifted to some of the community’s less fortunate children.

Mr Smith said people and businesses could also make tax-deductible monetary donations.

RECOGNITION: Stacey Daly has won a major student nurse award. She is pictured with Hopetoun resident Joan.

Graduate Stacey is ‘the best’ Newly graduated Hopetoun nurse Stacey Daly has won recognition from the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation for her achievements as a student nurse.

Ms Daly received a certificate and a $200 cheque from the federation for winning the 2016 Student Nurse Award at Swan Hill’s Sunraysia Institute of TAFE. The award recognises the student who exhibits attributes which are intrinsic to nursing practice.

The attributes include excellent communication and interpersonal skills, understanding

of ethical and professional nursing and an appreciation of the concept of excellence in nursing practice.

Ms Daly, who was a graduate nurse through Rural Northwest Health’s Hopetoun campus, received her award at the ANMF – Vic branch – annual meeting.

She said the award was a nice surprise.

“Nurses don’t take up the career to chase awards because our reward comes in the appreciation of those we look after,” she said.

“But all the same it’s really great to receive this. Now I just want to do well in my role at

the Hopetoun campus and help make people’s lives better.”

Originally from Ouyen, Ms Daly started a PCA course in 2013 while studying for year 12 and then transferred to Rural Northwest Health’s Hopetoun campus to complete the course in 2014. Soon after starting at the Hopetoun campus, Rural Northwest Health management offered her the chance to train as an enrolled nurse.

Ms Daly said she wanted to do more district nursing in the future because she loved the idea of looking after people while they were still well enough to be at home.

New asset for Jeparit

T

he community heart of the historic northern Wimmera township of Jeparit has a new look with the completion of a Menzies Square project.

The grandson of Sir Robert Menzies, Alec Menzies, joined representatives from Regional Development Victoria, the Menzies Foundation and Federation University and other guests at an official opening.

The $235,000 revamped Menzies Square, the result of a financial partnership between a variety of organisations, represents a major

facelift for a key part of the town centre.

The former State Government provided $165,000, the Menzies Foundation $35,000, Federation University $10,000 and Hindmarsh Shire Council $10,000 for the project.

The university and shire council also provided inkind support for the revitalisation of the square.

The community area is an expansion of the previous Menzies Square and now includes modern paved and grassed playground areas, unique structures and critically, reflects the town’s

historic connection to Australia’s longest serving prime minister.

Menzies was born in Jeparit where his family ran a shop.

Among the structures is a replica facade of the Menzies Coffee Palace, built by Men’s Shed members, and outdoor chess pieces depicting political personalities of the Menzies era.

During the opening, which included an open invitation to the public, Jeparit Primary School children sang the national anthem and presented a well-researched historical address.

CREATION: Laurie Schneider shows off Jeparit’s Menzies Coffee Palace facade in Menzies Square, made by Nhill Men’s Shed members.

BREATHTAKING: Horsham’s Thomas Sudholz takes in the view from Lion’s Head near Table Mountain in South Africa.

The ‘real’ Africa Thomas Sudholz of Horsham is studying in South Africa to develop his knowledge and understanding of a different cultural environment. He is providing The Weekly Advertiser with updates of his experiences.

T

his instalment comes at the culmination of exams, and the start of more travelling across South Africa.

Exams were a hectic period of all-night study, last-minute revision and hurried emails to fellow students to try to deduce exactly what could be asked of the students in the exams.

As can be imagined, it was a relief to end an exam period that lasted almost five weeks.

The exams are in a less formal environment to those I am used to in Australia; but in a similar fashion – lined up at desks in a classroom, invigilators walking the aisles to keep an eye on students as we hurry through questions before the time limit ceases.

With all subjects completed, it was time to celebrate and relax.

Immediately post-exams, my parents Peter and Lyn Sudholz, of Horsham visited me in the Western Cape of South Africa.

I attempted to show them as much of Cape Town and the Cape Winelands districts as possible.

In a short but adventurous period, we managed to visit quite a number of beautiful areas.

Franschhoek – which is one of the oldest settlements in the Western Cape, provides beautiful wines for tasting and is the original settlement for the French Huguenot refugees who were provided passage by the Dutch to the Cape to aid them cultivate crops in unknown conditions.

Many of the Dutch colonial buildings remain on the wineries in this region, with many dating back to the 17th Century.

From there, we visited vine-

yards around Stellenbosch before returning to Cape Town.

The next few days were spent showing my parents Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 19 years, the Bo-Kaap, a traditional housing area for Cape Malay and ascending Table Mountain on the provided cableway.

And what an amazing view it is from the top of Table Mountain, with breathtaking sights back along the bay and down over Cape Town, it is a mustdo for anyone traversing South Africa.

After a few days with the parents, which flew by too quickly, I bade them farewell and returned to my adopted home of Stellenbosch.

With another Australian mate Jack Robb collected from the airport, a group of six of my friends and I made the journey from Cape Town to Durban, then drove through Kwa-Zulu Natal to end up in Mozambique to celebrate end of exams and to experience, what I was told, ‘real Africa’.

I was not disappointed.

A quick Google search will return the troubles that Mozambique has seen, however, apart from Australians, I don’t believe I’ve met a more welcoming population.

As soon as we crossed the border the roads disappeared, we went straight from bitumen roads to sandy tracks that meandered across endless dunes – this was quite a shock.

After about an hour of these tracks being conquered, and a couple of occasions of pushing cars, we arrived at our destination of Ponto do Ouro, Mozambique. I didn’t capture enough photos to do it justice but I hope words will suffice.

The streets were lined with vendors, with very few ‘real’ shops or permanent buildings; though a few resorts made the landscape appear more modern.

Miles of untouched beaches and an apparent lack of service delivery all added to the experience. Power and water is a privilege, not a right as we learned throughout the multiple lapses in these services during our stay.

Having settled in a lodge for five days and camping for five days, our group experienced a true third-world country, and how everything operates.

Local people were more than happy to help us if we bogged a vehicle, and innocent is probably the best way to describe them. They are happy people and it is beautiful to see that even if there is a lack of the creature comforts we have come to enjoy as commonplace, they are more than happy with their lot in most cases.

Having expended our time in Mozambique, the group began the race back to King Shaka Airport, Durban, to ensure the American member of our group made her flight.

With half an hour to spare, we felt we had left plenty of time. Luckily the border guards did not give us trouble leaving Mozambique, considering they provided us with Visas that were scrawled on a piece of paper that read ‘Visa – 10 days’.

I returned to Cape Town the following day and ended on a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town with a bunch of Aussies who had missed their connecting flight. This is quite normal – remember, ‘Africa time’.

It was lovely to hear some accents from home again and they made me realise my time here is truly drawing to a close – but not before a few more adventures.

I hear it has been quite windy and hot back home, with fire bans around the district. Stay safe everyone and best wishes for the festive period.

LETTER

Closure is upsetting

The mine’s owner Kirkland Lake Gold announced last week it had stopped mining at the Stawell site and started a transition into a ‘care and maintenance’ phase due to the mine being ‘unsustainable’.

Mayor Tony Driscoll said the council and RDV were working together to provide help in several ways, with up to 150 employees made redundant.

“We’ll be providing free business mentoring sessions to contractors of Stawell Gold Mine and the larger employers around town who are really feeling the impact of this announcement,” he said.

“We’re also working with RDV to roll out the Business in Transition Support, BiTS, program, which will help former employees of the mine navigate through the redundancy process and explore options for future employment.”

Cr Driscoll said the council’s work in recent years to attract projects such as the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory and Nectar Farms’ hydroponics development stood the community in good stead.

“Our economic growth and business service teams have

The timing of the Stawell Gold Mine closure announcement, so close to Christmas is upsetting.

I am disappointed by the job losses that will impact the community of Stawell, as a result of this decision.

The losses will be felt both directly by those who were employed at the mine and by those who work in the allied businesses that serviced the mine and its employees and the wider community.

It has given me a level of comfort to be assured that the mine will honour all the workers’ entitlements.

The nature of the mining industry and the potential for closure of the Stawell mine has been an ongoing concern of mine and I’ve therefore been working towards increasing employment opportunities in other sectors for some time.

I will continue to pursue these opportunities.

I hope that with the help of Regional Development Victoria, employment-generating projects can be fast tracked, particularly in terms of the tyre-recycling plant and the proposed horticultural developments.

My thoughts are with the Stawell community and my office will assist wherever it can.

“We’re confident that we will see the benefits of that over the coming period as the mine transitions to care and maintenance and these projects hit their stride.”

Award-winning chef joins festival O

ne of Victoria’s favourite food and wine festivals has teamed with one of Australia’s favourite personalities for the 26th annual Grampians Grape Escape at Halls Gap next year.

Television presenter, author and 2010 MasterChef winner Adam Liaw will headline the Grampians Grape Escape on May 6 and 7, capping off a month devoted to western Victoria’s food and wine.

The author of five cookbooks and recipient of an AACTA Award for Best Lifestyle Program for his SBS show Destination Flavour Scandinavia, has a flair for using ingredients from regions he visits to bring simple recipes to life.

He said he was excited to be part of the festival.

“I can’t wait to get to the Grampians. The region is simply stunning and what’s more, it’s renowned for amazing fresh produce, not to mention the great wine and people,” he said.

“The Grampians Grape Escape is one of the best regional food and wine festivals in the country and working my culinary magic for festival-goers will be a delight given the high quality of fresh ingredients produced in the region.”

With a focus and passion for regional tourism, business and events, enthusiastic new festival directors Kate Kirkpatrick and Vanessa Briody of Oregional Collective are also thrilled to be on board.

“Being locals, we have always been passionate about the Grampians Grape Escape. We love the amazing food, the wine and the fact that we have so much to celebrate and savour right here in the Grampians,” Ms Kirkpatrick said.

“With the event spanning over a whole month, there are plenty of opportunities for locals and visitors alike to enjoy regional produce with family and friends.

“With the festival having grown remarkably since its inception 25 years ago, joining now as event directors is so exciting for us.”

Ms Briody said the inclusion of partner events had seen the festival grow to much more than just a weekend.

“We are excited for 2017,” she said.

An expected crowd of close to 10,000 wine and

Wimmera Four Wheel Drive Club in Horsham is on the hunt for former club members to be part of 40th anniversary celebrations.

The club, which started in 1977 with about a dozen enthusiasts and now has a membership of 65 families, will celebrate the milestone with an event at Cooinda Burrong Scout Camp Ground at Wartook on next year’s June long weekend.

Life member Rodger Tucker said organisers were keen to share the event with anyone who had been part of the club.

“The club started with a group of people with similar interests in four-wheel driving and we’re now probably one of the longest-running clubs in Victoria,” he said.

“Over the years we have organised everything from short trips in the Grampians to expansive treks across Australia.

“Similar to other four-wheel-drive clubs, we also do camp-host events in the Grampians where we provide information services.

“We are always looking for members but we

are also keen to rekindle relationships with former members, so that’s why we asked them to come forward.

“The celebrations are basically a get-together.

They are from June 10 to 12 at a lovely bushland setting where dormitory accommodation is available.

“Saturday night will include a spit roast dinner which is subsidised by the club to keep prices low.”

Adults and children over 12 will play $10 and children under-12 $5 for the dinners.

Mr Tucker encouraged people attending the event to bring any photographs and memorabilia.

“I suspect we’ve had a little more than 300 members who have been through the club and we’ve managed to chase up about 260,” he said.

Mr Tucker encouraged anyone keen to attend to call him on 0458 457 645 or Rod Brown on 0429 340 233.

He said people needed to call to access a registration form.

The Toyworld and Just Juniors team are here to help you...

Adam Liaw food lovers will have access to the offerings of more than 100 local producers as well as beer, wine and cider artisans – in addition to cooking demonstrations with Mr Liaw throughout the festival weekend.

Master classes with district chefs showcasing their talents and regional vintners sharing their knowledge of wine appreciation are again sure to be a hit with Grape Escapers, while connoisseurs will bid for the best shiraz from the Grampians wine region in a hotly contested barrique auction.

First-release tickets for the weekend festival are on sale, offering a 10 percent discount on full ticket prices until January 1.

Tickets for partner events will also be added to the program offering early in 2017.

People keen to book early can visit website www.visitgrampians.com.au/grampiansgrapeescape.

Sun-smart at Stawell Cato Park New shade sails have been installed over the main playground at Stawell’s Cato Park to protect the district’s children from the sun.

The sails, valued at $16,500 were fully-funded through round one of the State Government’s Community Shade Grants Program.

Northern Grampians Shire councillor Rob Haswell said the council was already seeing a positive impact from the new additions.

“We’ve noticed more parents bringing their children to the park, particularly on high-UV indexed days,” he said.

Four-wheel drivers plan celebrations

“It certainly makes the space more inviting by protecting users from the sun and keeping the equipment cool to touch.”

The council has submitted an application to round two of the program, with the aim of installing similar sails over the Market Square playground at St Arnaud.

Cr Haswell said the shade sails would be removed in winter to avoid unnecessary wear and tear and mould growth, increasing their longevity.

The magazine, formerly known as the Quality of Care report, is based on how Rural Northwest Health connects the community to care.

It features 48 colour pages filled with stories about the care experiences of various community members and RNH team members.

Events and marketing co-ordinator Peter Miller said the organisation had enjoyed a particularly big year.

“There was plenty of great material for the Quality Account because in the past 12 months we had won Victoria’s Small Health Service of the Year, celebrated 125 years of health service to the community and opened the new redevelopment at Warracknabeal,” he said.

“We had also celebrated other major successes such as our national awards for better practice at Hopetoun and Yarriambiack Lodge.

“We introduced exciting new programs and

played a big part in the launch of YCHANGe and the Elli Martha fund. So there is plenty of great reading in this year’s magazine.”

Mr Miller said the health service released the Quality Account at its annual meeting and initial feedback had been great.

“Many people have already told me how much they enjoyed the stories and I had one lady tell me she had read the entire magazine twice,” he said.

Free copies of the 2016 Rural Northwest Health Quality Account are available at all three RNH campuses.

Copies are also available at: Hopetoun, Bon Bon Café, Hopetoun Newsagency; Beulah, Beulah Business and Information Centre; Brim, McPherson’s General Store; Warracknabeal, Warracknabeal Newsagency, Woodbine Opportunity Shop, Creekside Hotel, Warracknabeal Pharmacy, Werrigar Roadhouse and Café Pharmaccino.

Minimise waste and save money A

s we approach Christmas, the season most celebrated with food and beverages, it’s a good time to take stock of just how much we spend, and subsequently waste, on food throughout the year.

Budgeting for Christmas party catering is the perfect place to start creating better shopping habits, allowing us to enjoy culinary treats without skimping on portions or breaking the bank.

Incredibly, Australians waste about 20 percent of all food they buy.

In other words, for every five bags of groceries we buy, one bag is tossed in the garbage.

This equates to the average Austral-

ian household throwing away more than $1000 worth of food every year.

Wasteful food choices are not only bad for your bank balance, they are also damaging to the environment.

Wasting food means you are depleting Australia of valuable water resources that went into growing the products.

Also, 40 percent of every garbage bag tossed out is organic matter that will rot as landfill, creating methane, a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more damaging to the environment than the fumes emanating from your car exhaust. There are various reasons why food is wasted.

In a time-poor society we tend to

shop for food whimsically, cook too much, ignore storage options, and have no idea how to use leftovers.

Following are some tips to help you save money on food throughout the year.

Plan your menus

This is an extremely effective way to minimise waste and save money.

It’s easier than you might think, and can educate your entire family

Leader: Harvest to consolidate region 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

V

BY DEAN LAWSON

ictorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke hopes a bumper harvest this summer will provide a Christmas ‘shot in the arm’ for regional centres that rely heavily on a healthy agricultural sector.

Mr Jochinke, who farms at Murra Warra between Horsham and Warracknabeal, said small rural townships that had, in particular, felt the full impact of hard years should get a boost from considerable harvest activity.

“I believe this harvest represents a great opportunity for towns that directly service the broadacre farming community to consolidate,” he said.

“The results of a successful harvest run through regional communities and provides clear understanding of how agriculture drives the regional economy.

“Seasonal jobs are up and going. It’s great to have a chat to young kids on bunker sites who are making some

money and generally getting exposed to the benefits of agriculture.

“I also bumped into a truck driver who had been out of work for a while who has managed to pick up a job during harvest. He will now have money in his pocket for Christmas. There’s a significant flow-on effect.”

Mr Jochinke said the impact of promise turning into positive results would be widespread.

“Hopefully this year represents just reward for three years of toil, because to be honest, it’s been pretty tough beforehand,” he said.

“I think many farmers are already having their Christmas because harvest itself is a time when they get reward for 12 months worth of work.”

Mr Jochinke said the Christmas mood in regional farming communities was generally buoyant, but the sheer size of the Wimmera-Mallee harvest was already leading to people getting tired.

“It’s going to be a long harvest, and when it’s all said and done there

“Everyone needs time off to celebrate the reason why we all farm. And I’d say for most farmers, with regards to this Christmas, it will be much more joyous than the past two”

David Jochinke will be a lot of exhausted people out there,” he said.

“It’s been a long season, from sowing and a lengthy management period trying to nurse good crops through threats from extreme variables in weather and disease, to getting it in the bin. I’d be tipping that in our area at least it will be an early January fin-

– David Jochinke

ish, which has traditionally signalled a good year.”

Mr Jochinke urged farmers, despite having ‘itchy feet’ and being desperate to get as much of the harvest done as quickly as possible, to find time for a break at Christmas.

“Everyone needs time off to celebrate the reason why we all farm,” he said. “And I’d say for most farmers, with regards to this Christmas, it will be much more joyous than the past two. I hope people can take a break, recharge the batteries and then concentrate on finishing it all off.”

Mr Jochinke said grain-growers had generally first concentrated on stripping barley and canola before trying to harvest valuable legumes.

“Beans and lentils are pretty much ready to go now in much of the Wimmera and at the moment lentils are among the most valuable cross-margin crops in the ground. But from now on they are also the most vulnerable to frost,” he said.

“Lentils and chickpeas are the crops everyone desperately wants to get off.

Chickpeas are probably a good two to three weeks away and wheat usually matures later.”

Mr Jochinke said he was hearing reports of a considerable amount of localised frost damage, mainly in barley and wheat crops.

“When I say that, many crops are still looking good but they have potentially lost a lot of ‘cream’,” he said.

“But it is still one of the better summer harvests we have had in the past three years.”

HAY THERE: Sisters Matilda and Polly Douglas have embraced the festive spirit by creating a Christmas display with hay bales at Beazleys Bridge on St Arnaud-Ararat Road. Matilda said this was the first year the pair had decorated bales for Christmas. “They have been a real hit, with passers-by and locals frequently stopping to take photos,” she said. “The festive spirit can get a bit lost in the chaos of harvest so it has been fun to create something that keeps the Christmas cheer going for everyone who drives past.”

Overseas students wait

L

ongerenong College officials hope to know early in the new year if they have been successful in a Federal Government application to provide agricultural study opportunities for overseas students.

College business development officer Donna Winfield said the historic school near Dooen, north of Horsham, had completed an audit as part of an effort to win a place on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students, CRICOS. “At this stage we don’t expect to hear anything until early next year after the Christmas and New Year’s break. But we’re hopeful we get a positive response,” she said.

The college had wanted to open the door to overseas students from as early as next year as part of a long-term expansion plan, but needed time to collect further details to strengthen its case.

It now has sights on offering courses to international students from 2018.

The move is likely to significantly bolster student numbers, dramatically expand the college’s direction and dynamics and open the door for greater tertiary-based investment in the region. The application is also in response to a growing number of inquiries from overseas students.

Wool market report 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A spike in the market over the previous few weeks resulted in a surge of extra wool coming onto the market this sale.

There were 53,248 bales offered, an extra 18 percent when compared with the estimate for this series a fortnight earlier, making it the largest total since January.

The five-year high for the AWEXEMI achieved last week was shortlived, with an abrupt drop in prices from the opening lot.

Melbourne sold in isolation on Tuesday and provided a bleak outlook for the week when prices tumbled 30 to 60 cents. Selected low cvh lots attracted most of the reduced support while off-types and lots out of specification were neglected.

The other two selling centres followed suit on Wednesday when they came online, however, Melbourne was more optimistic and showed a firming tendency and less volatility.

Thursday continued to improve and consolidate on the previous day’s levels, increasing by 10 cents. Next week is the final sale before the annual three week Christmas recess and quantities increase to 56,122 bales.

On the local front a big increase in XB LMS shearing has seen prices come under pressure, in particular the 27 micron plus categories. Auction sales of note this week for local clients were – 17.0 0.3 71.2 – 1205 cents, 17.5 0.5 69.3 – 1194 cents, 20.1 4.5 65.0 – 901 cents.

MOVING AHEAD: Senator Fiona Nash discusses Longerenong College developments with Member for Mallee Andrew Broad, left, and the college’s Barry Ray during the opening of an upgraded student accommodation wing earlier this year.

Picture: DEAN LAWSON Longerenong College, operated by Skillinvest, provides vocational training through Advanced Diploma of Agriculture and Certificate IV in Agriculture as well as many other agricultural-based courses.

This year it had 90 full-time students studying for diploma or certificate qualifications.

The college is undergoing a major evolution as a state-ofthe-art agricultural institution.

Its latest project is a $1-mil-

lion upgrade of the school’s agribusiness centre which follows hot on the heels of a $4.47-million upgrade of student accommodation facilities opened earlier this year.

Longerenong College has provided agricultural training for the Australian domestic market for 127 years. It has endured extreme highs and lows and at one stage was threatened with closure.

A college open day in August

attracted one of its biggest student responses in many years.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said agricultural education was critical for the future of the industry.

“Any developments or facilities that can improve the international standard of education not only benefits students but the industry as a whole in the sharing of knowledge around the world,” he said.

Revised forecast for shorn-wool average wool cuts per head in 2016-17 was more than the committee anticipated in August.

“Some regions, notably in Victoria, in the tablelands of New South Wales and in Tasmania, have experienced a rather tough winter after seeing very dry conditions up until May, so fleece weights are only now starting to improve,” he said.

“The full benefit of the improved seasons is expected to be seen during autumn shearing.

“Elsewhere it seems that fleece weights have already improved, and this should

continue as the season progresses.” By state, the committee predicts shorn-wool production will increase in New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland.

The increase in Queensland is particularly welcome after three consecutive years of declines and in part reflects sheep returning to the state after the breaking of the long drought.

Production in Victoria is expected to be steady, with an improvement in the second half of the season, while production in Tasmania is predicted to be slightly lower.

Heat rule reveals lack of investment

A

farming leader believes new safety rules that prevent grain trains from running as soon as temperatures reach 33 degrees have clearly exposed a need for greater investment in rail-transport infrastructure.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said the rule, representing a change from 36 degrees, simply reflected that rail tracks across much of the Victorian grain belt ‘aren’t up to scratch’ to cope with the potential for ‘heat buckle’.

“In anyone’s language, especially when you live in the Wimmera and Mallee, 33 degrees is far from extreme heat. I would suggest that in February it is often rarely below that temperature,” he said.

“We can’t afford to have a restrictive system in place to deal with what’s considered normal conditions – especially during critical periods for shifting grain.”

V-Line announced the bans earlier this month, with the region’s grain harvest in full swing. The announcement came in the wake of two freighttrain derailments near Ouyen in December last year and with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau in the process of investigating the incidents.

“Like” Us On Facebook

The bans apply between noon and either 8pm or 10pm and might mean extra grain haulage on regional roads already under intense transport pressure and political scrutiny after winter and spring flooding.

Mr Jochinke said developments clearly demonstrated, especially with the State Government investing money into rail, a need to design infrastructure to cope with potential conditions and circumstances.

“It’s about making sure we have rail networks that are applicable to the industry and the environment,” he said.

“We’re going to be in a situation where we’re going to have to try to use a network at half capacity and at night and both makes everything extremely limiting.

“From a global perspective at the end of harvest in March, we in Australia have a great advantage – no one else in the world is producing at that time and we get a free kick in the export market.

“So it is critical we have the ability to operate our train sets when it matters most.

“It’s important to be able to do this all-year round, but it is particularly critical at this time of the year.”

Data from Australian working dogs competing in competition run by a dog-food company is showing the animals are running more than 40 kilometres a day – sometimes on consecutive days – and it is all in a typical day’s work.

Cobber Dog’s Cobber Challenge is tracking the daily routine of eight Australian working dogs in their natural environment on working properties through GPS collars.

The dogs’ average speed, distance travelled and duration are being recorded for three weeks with daily updates available online at www.cobberchallenge.com.au.

The dogs are Larry and Rex from Victoria, Tammy and Minute, NSW, Dixie and Joker, South Australia and Hank and Ace, Queensland.

Last week Larry, a three-year old male kelpie working at Woorndoo south-east of the Grampians for Damien Clifford, was leading overall as well as a speed category, clocking an average 8.72kmh.

He was coming second in a distance category with 519.47km behind Jandre Slabbert’s Grassdale kelpie Rex, 530.78km, and fourth in duraWednesday, December 21, 2016

tion with 59 hours, 34 minutes and 40 seconds in a duration category behind Tammy, 81:35:58.

The Cobber Challenge is the first competition of its kind based on tracking the daily activity of working dogs. As well as generating strong interest in the farming community, the data will provide insight into nutritional requirements of working dogs.

Cobber dog food, manufactured by Ridley, is an Australian provider of high-performance animal nutrition and has been formulated using the knowhow from working with farmers and their working dogs for more than 30 years.

Ridley nutritionist David Nash said food provided to working dogs was extremely important to them performing consistently at an elite level, fuelling them during periods of strenuous exercise and helping in recovery and repair of muscles while at rest.

“Working dogs will quickly lose condition and drop off in performance if not provided with the perfect balance of key nutrients during work and rest, and that will lead to an under-performing dog and an unhappy farmer,” he said.

n the last week before Christmas, harvest is well and truly in full swing and some growers are even pushing hard to have the header back in the shed before Christmas day.

The end is not yet in sight, however, for those in southern areas of western Victoria as most in these regions are still in the process of completing their canola harvest and are only now getting onto cereal and pulse crops.

This is in stark contrast to recent seasons where anywhere from Ouyen to Lake Bolac, crops have seemingly been ready to strip in unison from early November onwards. This season has returned to somewhat of a traditional north to south progression when it comes to harvest, which contractors will surely be exulting over.

Yields being reported have generally been excellent, with canola averages ranging from 2.2mt-ha to a whopping 3.3mt-ha in southern regions. Oil content has also been high with oil percentages coming in at anywhere from 44 to 49 percent – anything over 42 percent receives bonuses per percentage point – which is giving growers a handy oil bonus on top of a base canola price which has so far resisted any major price drops from the pressure of harvest cash sales.

Yields on cereals have ranged from 4-5mt-ha in northern areas and those in the south are expecting winter wheats to yield up to 6-7mt-ha.

The yields being reported are a welcome relief after fears of more extensive losses due to waterlogging throughout the winter and spring months.

This being said, some areas in western Victoria have suffered heavily from waterlogging, which has taken the cream off the cake of what has otherwise been a fantastic season.

A current headache faced by growers is that although crops themselves might be ready to

with Mick Phelan

harvest on the surface, there is still an abundance of green material below the canopy as well as wheel tracks due to the good season and availability of moisture. This combined with a relatively mild summer to date has restricted growers from working too late into the evening because moisture levels can rise quickly. Continuing to work under these conditions can be very hard on machinery, forcing them to pull up.

Even in windrowed crops, which are essentially designed to kill the crop and bring it to maturity all at the same time, green material beneath the windrow itself has still been an issue.

Adding to this, because many crops became lodged during the year, it has forced the creation of the infamous ‘dead cow’.

Dead cows, a collection of intertwined material within the windrow, requires a delicate hand and inevitably creates blockages and constantly brings any forward progression to a halt. If you are lucky enough to sit next to an operator after dealing with a few dead cows, you are sure to learn a few new words that will make your vocabulary just a little bit more colourful.

All in all, grain farmers will always find a way to get the job done and here’s hoping the weather is accommodating and growers are not restricted to bank hours for the remainder of harvest.

If all goes well and they can finish harvest quickly, a well-earned break with their northern counterparts will no doubt be on the cards.

Farmers: Effort not recognised 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

V

ictorian farmers are disheartened by a State Government review into native vegetation regulations.

The Victorian Farmers Federation is critical of the new consultation paper, claiming it was a lost opportunity for the government to work with farmers to develop solid outcomes for agriculture and the environment.

VFF president David Jochinke said the paper failed to reduce an unnecessary burden that made life difficult for the state’s food producers.

He said the farmer group was disappointed the paper failed to reflect productive discussions around wiping complexity from the regulations.

“We have argued for a simplified process for managing native vegetation across the state, providing a model that farmers can understand and work towards,” Mr Jochinke said.

“But we’re struggling to see where the government has taken into account the needs of our farmers.

“It looks like a continuation of the same old red tape for farmers to deal with and no recognition of the

extensive revegetation works farmers already undertake.”

Mr Jochinke said the VFF wanted to work with the government to implement specific regulations for farming that would recognise farmers were not changing the use of their land, but using new tools to stay competitive in the global market.

“Agriculture is so critical to the health and wellbeing of rural communities and the Victorian economy,” he said.

“Farmers need access to new technology and bigger machinery in order

to stay competitive, and that could mean the strategic removal of trees.

“Our farmers have demonstrated a willingness to spend time and money on undertaking works such as revegetation in locations where it is good for the farm and good for environment.

“But our members are telling us their efforts to revegetate are not being counted by the government.”

Mr Jochinke said the VFF was also disappointed by the timing of the government’s consultation document, which required responses by the start of February.

“Broadacre grains producers, who are facing the biggest productivity burden from these regulations, are heading into the busiest time of their year,” he said.

“The consultation period needs to be extended to give them the opportunity to get off their headers and get their heads around what the government is proposing.

“After drought and poor seasons, we need to have meaningful engagement to explain how we will all be affected.”

Protect knock-down herbicides Most cropping systems rely fairly heavily on a small group of non-selective or ‘knock-down’ herbicides.

Since the widespread adoption of zero and minimum tillage, these herbicides have provided effective control of many grass and broadleaf weeds – but these useful herbicides could be lost to the industry if steps are not taken to increase the diversity of weed management tactics used.

Independent Consultants Australia Network senior consultant Mark Congreve said the highly effective double-knock tactic, which combined an application of glyphosate followed by paraquat, was at risk if growers failed to remain vigilant and ensure removal of any surviving plants.

“The double-knock strategy of glyphosate, plus a group I herbicide for weeds such as flaxleaf fleabane, followed by paraquat has provided excellent control of weeds that are difficult to kill with glyphosate alone,” he said.

“Recent confirmation of a fleabane population that is resistant to paraquat, found in a New South Wales vineyard, is a clear warning to grain producers there is no room for complacency following a double-knock operation.”

Paraquat is a widely used herbicide, being an active ingredient in more than 100 herbicide products registered for use in broadacre cropping.

It is a group L herbicide and as such is considered a ‘moderate risk’ for herbicide resistance.

A moderate risk rating means resistance generally takes longer to occur, not that it will not occur.

“Paraquat resistance typically takes more than 15 years of consistent use before resistant weeds are noticeable in the field,” Mr Congreve said.

“This critical period has now elapsed on many farms where paraquat is used in cereals and broadleaf crops, and for general weed control around the farm.”

Paraquat resistance has been present and widespread in barley grass in lucerne production systems for many years in Victoria and southern NSW. While paraquat resistance is still relatively

rare outside of lucerne systems, high-level resistance to paraquat was confirmed in three weed species – crowsfoot grass, blackberry nightshade and cudweed – taken from sugarcane and tomato blocks around Bundaberg in 2015.

In the event of widespread resistance to paraquat, Mr Congreve is concerned there are no new modes of action likely to be commercialised within the next 10 years or more, meaning farmers needed to protect what they had.

“It is essential farmers do everything in their power to preserve the effectiveness of the herbicide groups available,” he said.

“The key is to take a diverse approach to weed management and, importantly, remove weeds that survive herbicide applications. This is the best way to keep weed numbers low and when LOOKOUT: ICAN senior consultant Mark Congreve says growers need to look for survivor numbers are low, resistant weeds can be con- weeds after every herbicide application. trolled more effectively. It’s a numbers game.”

Need tyres

Checking steps

Mr Congreve suggested growers check the results of every spray application, looking for individual plants ‘surviving’ or ‘re-growing’ after a spray application that had killed adjacent weeds.

This might be a sign the surviving plants carry the genetic mutation that ‘protects’ them from the herbicide’s mode of action.

“If this is observed, the first step is to remove those individual plants before they shed seed,” Mr Congreve said. “It is recommended to have the plants, or their seed, tested to confirm resistance and determine what herbicides those individuals are still susceptible to.”

There are 10 weed species with confirmed resistance to paraquat – Group L – and 13 species resistant to glyphosate – Group M – in Australia.

T

he leader of Victoria’s peak farming body has appealed for the farming community to be vigilant in ‘looking after its own backyard’ when dealing with the welfare of animals.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said people who failed to treat their animals with respect ultimately hurt the industry that provided them with a livelihood.

“Personally, I just can’t understand why this can happen,” he said.

“It is something we as animal custodians we must always be aware.

“We must be in a strong position to willingly identify serious issues involving animal welfare ourselves and speak up if we see anything.”

Mr Jochinke was referring to a court case in Horsham involving a Lucindale man who pleaded guilty to four

animal-cruelty offences in a Neuarpurr shearing shed in 2013. The case was the result of simultaneous complaints lodged with authorities in South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria and a video package loaded onto digital media site YouTube in 2014.

Agriculture Victoria said the information and footage came from individuals who had obtained work as roustabouts in shearing sheds and with

cameras had documented cruel shearing practices.

The process had led to seven shearers being referred for prosecution across the three states and warnings to others identified as having shearing techniques below industry standards.

Mr Jochinke said he understood handling animals could be tough, exhausting and frustrating, but there was no excuse for mistreating animals.

“We’re saying to people that if you see things happening that aren’t right, then speak up. This affects not only individuals but the whole industry,” he said.

“We need to take ownership of this issue and make sure we’re on top of it.

It’s ashame that in the circumstances in 2013 that someone didn’t speak up in the shearing sheds and stamp it out there and then.”

Happy harvest hits halfway mark

BY JUSTINE SEVERIN BIRCHIP CROPPING GROUP Birchip Cropping Group’s trials harvest is beyond the halfway mark, with about 64 percent of the 144 trials harvested.

Excellent yields, lodged crops, small rain events and machinery break-downs have hampered progress, mirroring the common experience of many Wimmera farmers at this time of the year.

Nevertheless, harvest is expected to be complete early in the new year.

With most of the Mallee research trials now harvested, the Wimmera is the focus.

Already trials at Kalkee, Nhill and Longerenong have been harvested, including a barley variety comparison trial at Kalkee.

Outstanding yield results are a reflection on the season, with some barley varieties yielding an impressive 8.6t-ha.

Among the best yielding barley varieties have been Fathom and Rosalind, while Compass, which has been a consistent performer in BCG and National Variety Trials in recent years, failed to finish in the top five – for yield.

The results for BCG crop variety trials are distributed to members within 48 hours of harvest. This allows growers to make early and informed variety choices for 2017.

Last-minute assessments have also been keeping the research team busy, including barley head-loss counts.

This information will be critical in helping to understand how differ-

ent barley varieties respond to wet spring conditions and harvest delays that can occur due to inclement weather.

The results will indicate if varieties reached their peak or if yield was reduced due to lodging or other factors.

Wimmera canola trials have also undergone final pod-shatter assessments before desiccation and harvest.

After Christmas the BCG team will look to finish harvest so results can be interpreted and written up for publication in the BCG 2016 Season Research Results compendium.

Many of the results from BCG’s 2016 research program will be presented at a BCG Trials Review Day at Birchip on February 17. For details log on at www.bcg.org.au.

Barrier against storage pests

Make a caretaker biosecurity list

rowers planning to store grain in unsealed storages after this year’s harvest are being encouraged to consider using grain protectants to reduce the risk of insect pest infestations.

Animal Health Australia biosecurity and product integrity services executive manager Duncan Rowland has reminded producers to reinforce the importance of on-farm biosecurity practices to their chosen farm caretakers.

“Unfortunately biosecurity threats such as pest, weed and disease incursions don’t take holidays, which is why if you have someone minding the property over Christmas they need to do more than just feed the cattle and water the crops,” he said.

“If a neighbour, employee, friend or family member is acting as your caretaker, remind them to be vigilant by managing vehicles, people and equipment coming on to your property.

“Get them to check that the water supply is kept fresh and where possible free from insects and faeces, and, if they need to purchase feed, chemicals or farm supplies, make sure they get them from your existing and trusted suppliers.

“Most importantly, your caretaker should be keeping a watchful eye on your livestock and crops, so make sure they have the emergency animal disease and exotic plant pest hotlines handy so they can report anything unusual.”

Mr Rowland said that the new and free FarmBiosecurity smartphone app was a great way to create a biosecurity checklist for caretakers during the summer break.

“I encourage all producers going away over Christmas to download the FarmBiosecurity app and make a biosecurity action list,” he said.

“Once you create that list on your phone you can email it straight to your caretaker.”

The FarmBiosecurity smartphone app can be downloaded from Google Play and the Apple app store by searching ‘FarmBiosecurity’.

The use of protectants combined with meticulous hygiene and aeration cooling are especially useful in storages which are not gas-tight and therefore cannot be fumigated effectively.

Southern cropping region grainstorage specialist Peter Botta said grain protectants were designed to prevent pest infestations – not to control existing infestations.

“A common misunderstanding is that grain protectants kill insects already infesting the grain, but those types of contact disinfestants are no longer available for on-farm use,” he said.

“Therefore, grain must be clean and free of pests before applying a protectant.”

The Grains Research and Development Corporation supports Mr Botta’s work.

In order to give protectants the best chance to defend stored grain, meticulous storage hygiene practices before and after harvest are required.

Mr Botta said cleaning storage

CONSIDER PROTECTANTS: Growers planning to store grain in unsealed storages after this year’s harvest are being encouraged to consider using grain protectants to reduce the risk of insect pest infestations.

Photo: CHRIS STACEY sites and harvesting equipment removed harbours where pests could survive, ready to infest the new season’s grain. The addition of aeration cooling also provides an unattractive environment for pests in stored grain.

He reminded growers to always read the chemical label before choosing a protectant to ensure it was registered for use on the grain they intended to apply the product, and that it would target the main insects commonly found in their storage.

As a general guide, protectants are only registered for use on cereal

MURRAY BRIDGE (SA)

grains and only some, not all, of those protectant products are registered for use on malting barley, rice and maize. No protectants are registered for use on pulses and oilseeds.

Mr Botta implored growers to fully understand the requirements of the targeted markets for their grain before considering application of a grain protectant.

“Some buyers – domestic and overseas – will not take grain that has had protectants applied, so it is critical growers know in advance what those market specifications are so they aren’t limiting their selling options,” he said.

6 Cromie Street 03 5385 5600

If targeting markets which accept grain that has been treated with a protectant, knowing the maximum residue limits of those markets is also essential.

“As grain markets have become less tolerant to protectants and maximum residue limits, maximum residue limits are monitored scrupulously – accurate application in terms of the correct rate and spread is vital.”

Commodity vendor declarations are also used in many cases to ensure a parcel of grain is only subjected to one application of the protectant to avoid exceeding the maximum residue limits.

Some protectants start deteriorating 48 hours after being mixed with water so growers should avoid leaving prepared protectants for long periods before applying to grain.

The product label will also indicate the anticipated effective life of the protectant on the grain.

The effective life of protectants is shortened if applied to grain above 12 percent moisture content and at temperatures above 27 degrees, or if treated grain is exposed to direct sunlight, which can occur at the end of a shed or in an open bunker.

Further information on grain protectants is available from the GRDC’s Stored Grain Information Hub at www.storedgrain.com au.

Based on the top-spec ST grade, the 300 special editions come with $10,000 worth of extras and driveaway pricing only $600 more than the standard ST before on-road costs.

The five-speed manual swansong Y61 is on offer for $57,990 driveaway, while the auto costs $3000 more at $60,990.

Even with dated technology and largely unchanged styling, the venerable truck is still attracting a strong following.

While the Japanese car-maker says increasing numbers of its off-roading customers are demanding the latest tech and comfort features, an enclave of fans still lusts after the no-nonsense Patrol, with some even stockpiling for the future.

Speaking at an event to celebrate the long and successful life of the Y61 in wagon and pick-up forms, Nissan Australia managing director and chief executive Richard Emery said some loyal customers were bulk buying to ensure a supply of the model long after production dried up.

“We’ve got a couple of clients who have stockpiled cars for the next few years,” he said.

But while a number of loyal Patrol owners are squirrelling the final examples away, Mr Emery said most customers were demanding more from their large 4x4s, and most had started the transition to the smaller and newer Navara ute.

“There has been a shift in customers from the larger Y61-sized vehicle and that is going to continue,” he said.

“There’s only two or three cars in the segment, and that’s been slowly declining in the past four or five years as people have moved across into the next size down.

“Navara has a strong heritage and has probably taken up the mantle as being the utilitarian vehicle that our customers turn to.”

The nail in the coffin for the Y61 has been new Euro 5 emissions standards, which the vehicle’s diesel engine cannot meet.

OLD MATE: Nissan is saying thank you to its venerable Patrol Y61 for 20 years of service with a Legend Edition special and a swag of goodies.

While many customers are making the change to Navara, Mr Emery said the reception of the final special edition was expected to be warm.

He predicted the last examples were likely to dry up in February or March as customers planned trips north.

Exclusive

The exclusive Legend Edition will only be offered in Australia to celebrate its long heritage Down Under across six generations and 50 years of the Patrol.

Since the Y61 wagon was launched in 1997, 104,510 have found homes in Australia.

Like the long-standing version, the Legend Edition is on offer with either a five-speed manual gearbox or fourspeed automatic bolted to a 3.0-litre 118kW four-cylinder diesel that produces 380Nm for the auto or 354Nm when under the bonnet of the selfserve shifter.

Fuel consumption is rated at 10.9 litres per 100km for the manual and 11.8L-100km for the auto.

To mark the model’s close connection to Australia’s harsh outback, the Legend Edition has been upgraded with a number of genuine Nissan accessories to allow owners to go further into the bush.

At the front end, the special edition has an airbag-compatible steel roo bar, complete with electric winch, while at the back, there’s a tow bar and branded spare tyre soft cover.

A reversing camera and satellite navigation system accessed through a 7.5inch touchscreen are also included.

For owners with lots of kit and family to carry, a roof rack is standard, as is an air intake snorkel for increased wading depth.

The exterior modifications are capped off with Legend Edition decals on the front doors. Customers have a choice of three colours: white

diamond, polar white or platinum.

The Patrol’s ability to tackle challenging terrain of all types is one of the attributes that cemented the Y61’s reputation among Australian fans, and the Legend Edition shares the same capability with low ratio 2.02:1 transfer case, self-locking free-wheeling hubs and a locking rear differential.

Front suspension is a three-link setup with coil springs for greater wheel articulation on severely undulating terrain, while the rear set-up also uses coil springs with a five-link arrangement for a balance of ride comfort and load lugging capacity.

Its carrying capacity is 577kg.

A braked trailer means the Y61 can haul 3200kg, while unbraked towing capacity is rated at 2500kg.

Four-wheel drive enthusiasts who like to go a long way off the beaten trail will appreciate the Patrol’s 95-litre main diesel tank, which is backed up by a 30-litre reserve for extended

range. A water-in-fuel warning light is another classic outback survival touch.

In addition to the special equipment, the Legend Edition shares all of the standard features and kit fitted to the ST including seven seats, a split tailgate, nine passenger panic handles, twin trip meters, hard-wearing cloth seats, vinyl floor liners and USB, iPod, Bluetooth and MP3 connectivity.

Seventeen-inch alloy wheels roll on 275/65 tyres. Bumpers are body-coloured, complemented by over-fender flared wheel arches and standard side steps. Second row passengers are treated to zoned air-conditioning and heating, while all occupants are entertained by a six-disc CD changer and four-speaker sound system.

The Patrol Y61 bloodline comes to an end with the Legend Edition bringing a 20-year story to a close and making way for the Y62, which arrived in February 2013.

Renault Twingo retires to Aus

negotiated its return to Australia for display in Canberra.

The Twingo will be in good company at the museum, alongside a collection of more than 300 Balarinji gouache paintings that have been amassed over previous years.

Renault provided the car for the trip with no modifications other than a roo-bar, and Mr Dulon completed the 25,000 kilometres without GPS or

roadside assistance. Service stations were frequently many hundreds of kilometres apart.

The original Twingo was powered by a modest 45kW 1.2-litre engine, and despite its vintage had some innovative features including a digital instrument display, sliding second-row seat and seating that could be folded flat for an impromptu double bed.

The Twingo Balarinji will not be

the first automotive addition to the National Museum of Australia, with several unusual and significant vehicles already calling the Canberra exhibition home.

Also housed at the National Museum of Australia is the first car to have driven around Australia, a 1922 Citroen 5CV, which completed the momentous journey in 1925.

Renault Australia has always said no to Twingo for sale Down Under, but the latest, third-generation version has a better chance of making it into local showrooms, with the car-maker holding out for a sportier variant.

In 1994, French journalist Jean Dulon took the tiny Twingo on a 25,000 kilometre tour of Australia, despite having no all-terrain modifications for the trip that included 8000 kilometres of unsealed roads, including a detour to Cape York Peninsula.

At the hands of Mr Dulon, the Twingo was claimed to be the first two-wheel drive vehicle to reach the northernmost tip of Australia, securing its place in Australia’s automotive history.

At the conclusion of the two-month Australian tour, Mr Dulon had it painted in a custom paint job courtesy of Australian clothing design company Balarinji and renowned artists John Moriarty and Frank Lee. The aboriginal decoration is unique, but similar designs by the company have graced Qantas aeroplanes and the Sydney Opera House.

Mr Dulon then took the Twingo back to France where it went on to clock-up 250,000 kilometres before finding its way to the Renault museum in Paris.

There it was tracked down by National Museum of Australia, which

Rain primes region

BY DEAN LAWSON

Victorian farming leader has described damp conditions across the region as the perfect start for a promising growing season.

Victorian Farmers Federation vice-president and Murra Warra farmer David Jochinke said conditions had primed much of the region for good results, but recovery from last season’s disastrous harvest would depend on what happened later in the year.

“It will all come down to spring again,” he said.

Victorian Farmers Federation vice-president and Murra Warra farmer David Jochinke said conditions had primed much of the region for good results, but recovery from last season’s disastrous harvest would depend on what happened later in the year.

“It will all come down to spring again,” he said.

Porsche lobs four-pot Macan

P

orsche Cars Australia has rounded out its Macan SUV range with a new entry-level fourcylinder petrol variant starting from $76,610 plus on-road costs.

The new base Macan is priced just over $15,000 less than the next most affordable variant, the $91,855 Macan S Diesel, making the new entry point to the Porsche range Down Under.

Porsche’s new Macan is priced to compete with a number of other premium mid-size SUVs including the Jaguar F-Pace 20d Prestige, $74,340, Mercedes-Benz GLC250 4Matic, $80,100, BMW X4 xDrive20d, $74,900, and the Range Rover Evoque Si4 HSE, $77,085.

The new powertrain is a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering 185kW and 370Nm between 1600 and 4500rpm, matched with the sevenspeed PDK dual-clutch transmission that drives all four wheels.

As previously reported by GoAuto, it is the same unit found under the bonnet of VW Group sister brand Audi’s A4 2.0 TFSI Quattro Sport.

Porsche says the new Macan can complete the 0-100kmh dash in 6.7 seconds – or 6.5s when optioned with the sport chrono package – before hitting a top speed of 229kmh.

Official combined fuel consumption for the 1770kg Macan – the lightest Porsche SUV available – is rated at

FOUR POT SCREAMER: Porsche has borrowed the 2.0-litre turbocharged fourcylinder engine from Audi’s new A4 for its base Macan.

7.4 litres per 100km, which is 1.3L less than the thirstier 3.0-litre turbo V6 under the bonnet of the Macan S. The German car-maker says the engine was built to be ‘particularly sporty and efficient’ and it functions with up to two bar of boost pressure, as well as charge-air cooling, petrol

direct injection and variable valve timing.

VarioCam Plus adapts the intake and exhaust camshaft continually and also controls the lift of the exhaust valves.

It also features the Porsche Traction Management all wheel-drive system, while an air suspension system with

levelling control and Porsche Active Suspension Management and adaptive dampers is available as an option.

It features some flourishes to differentiate it from other Macan variants, including black side window trim strips and black brake callipers.

Standard gear in the new variant

includes park assist front and rear, a reversing camera, bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic levelling, 19-inch Macan Turbo wheels, lane departure warning, a memory package for the electric driver’s seat and Alcantara seat inserts.

It also comes with three-zone automatic climate control, digital radio, tyre pressure monitoring and Porsche Communication Management, which includes navigation, phone and audio connectivity and a voice control system.

Porsche says the Macan four-cylinder is available to order now, with deliveries kicking off late in the first quarter of next year.

Other variants in the Macan range include the Macan S priced at $92,800, the recently launched GTS at $109,200 and the flagship Macan Turbo at $130,000.

As reported, a new range-topping twin-turbo 324kW V6 version, dubbed Macan Turbo Special Performance, is also set to make its debut in March next year.

The Macan continues to be Porsche’s top seller in Australia, and with 2019 sales to the end of October, it is outpacing the BMW X4 with 1460 sales, Volvo XC60, 1788 and the Jaguar F-Pace, 566 for sales – although the Jag only launched in July.

Sailplane back-to-back offer A

ccolades are flowing as Horsham Flying Club officials tally final scores to determine the two glider pilots who will qualify to head to Chile in November for the eighth World Sailplane Grand Prix final.

The Federation Aerionautique Internationale, FAI, the world’s premier air sports organisation, has offered the Horsham club a back-to-back opportunity – to again run the sole Australian leg in the next world grand prix.

Earlier this year Horsham won the right to run this year’s Australian leg.

FAI officials, the Gliding Federation of Australia and competitors have heaped praise on the small club for its administration of the week-long event.

Fourteen elite glider pilots from the United States, New Zealand and Australia took to the sky over the Wimmera during seven days of competition to determine two representatives for the Chile final.

Pilots included multi-winning state gliding champions, F-111 pilots, a former Qantas pilot and the former head of the RAAF. Real-time internet coverage of daily competition allowed people worldwide to log in to view progress.

Organisers set the course each day according to weather conditions with events varying from 180 to 300 kilometres.

Wednesday, December 21, 2016

READY SET GO: Max Hedt hooks up Brian Durieu of Sydney, to a tow rope at the Sailplane Grand Prix in Horsham.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Competition director Tim Shirley of Benalla said a lack of cumulus clouds on most days meant the pilots’ skills were tested to the limit Mr Shirley, experienced at running competitions in Australia and overseas, said the pilots were ‘very’ experienced in all aspects – from understanding the FAI rules to reading weather conditions and making best use of thermals, or rising columns of hot air.

He added there had been few issues to adjudicate.

“And the lack of cumulus clouds failed to deter those in this competition,’’ he said.

“The pilots are the elite of Australia and the world and thrive on problemsolving to achieve their targets.’’

At the end of counting before the final day of competition, New Zealand lawyer Mark Tingey was in the lead, one point ahead of former RAAF Air Marshall Geoff Brown of Canberra and Sean Fidler.

Mr Fidler, from the Great Lakes area in Michigan, ran the US leg of the grand prix with wife Tiffany as scorer.

She is crewing with him in Horsham.

Event referee Mandy Temple from Adelaide, also Gliding Federation of Australia president, said the daily

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

routine to prepare aircraft took several hours and included washing the plane, adding water ballast, setting instruments for the day and many other tasks. Most team members had a partner or family member crewing for them.

A daily briefing by Mr Shirley and competition operations manager Selwyn Ellis kept pilots informed about the day’s route and expected weather conditions.

• Six of the 14 pilots who flew in Horsham have also qualified for another world event at Benalla early next year.

Grant success Five Wimmera sporting clubs have shared in VicHealth Active Club Grants of more than $12,000 to encourage participation.

Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the program was about boosting access to grassroots sport and recreation.

Horsham Saints Cricket Club will receive $3000 for bats, gloves, helmets, batting pads, abdominal guards and playing shirts, while Wimmera Hockey Association will put $3000 towards 75 Hookin2Hockey packs.

Three regional golf clubs also won grants.

Warracknabeal club won $2900 for golf club sets and advertising; Kaniva’s $2150 grant will go towards three ladies golf packages, promoting and printing; and Goroke will benefit from $1510 for advertising, glow bracelets, glow sticks and glow balls.

Win for Joan Joan Fletcher triumphed in a ladies stableford competition at Stawell Golf Club in a tight contest.

Fletcher won on a countback from Johanna Kuypers after both scored 37 points.

Nearest the pins were recorded

by Kaye Lipovas, 6th and 10th, Laura Martin, 9th, Kuypers, 13th, and Lyn Willcock, 17th. The Stawell ladies will compete for the December monthly medal today.

UNDER LIGHTS: Grampians fell short against Horsham at an inter-association match under lights at Horsham City Oval.

Picture: WILLAMY IMAGES

Grampians’ chance to bounce back G

BY DEAN LAWSON

rampians will attempt to turn the tables on a visiting Horsham cricket team next month after falling well short of a target in a 50-over-a-side challenge match at Horsham City Oval.

Representative teams from both associations will again draw swords on January 27, this time at Stawell’s Central Park in a T20 clash.

Next month’s game is scheduled to correspond with Grampians anni-

versary celebrations. Horsham, led by century-making all-rounder Jarred Combe, successfully defended 5-258 in a Saturday twilight clash by bowling its neighbour out for 122.

Combe came to the rescue of a Horsham team that, after winning the toss, was quickly in all sorts of trouble at 3-16.

Grampians’ Lee Oliver and John Butler conspired to remove openers Justtin Combe and Lachie Watts and then first drop and in-form Mathew

Combe cheaply. But the bearded Jarred Combe and Angus Adams, 29, steadied the Horsham ship and then runs to Daniel Griffiths, 48, and slashing Nathan Koenig, 49 not out, ensured a strong Horsham position.

Combe’s knock on a placid city oval track was punctuated with powerful drives and pull shots and he reached his milestone shortly before the close of the innings.

Grampians, missing several key players, was always going to have

to work hard to chase down the runs under lights and became crippled after losing 5-28.

Horsham’s Craig Britten, 3-20, teamed with Tony Caccaviello to crash through the visiting top order.

Sean Mantell, 29, and Michael Harricks, tried to lead fight-backs down the order but Grampians was all out with 10 overs to spare.

The game was the result of Horsham throwing down the gauntlet to Grampians in an attempt to rekindle

inter-association cricket in the region.

It provided spectators with an entertaining contest and might be the catalyst in regenerating a rivalry between the associations.

Results: Grampians Challenge: Horsham 5-258 (Jarred Combe 100no, Nathan Koenig 49no, Daniel Griffiths 48, Angus Adams 29; Lee Oliver 2-15) d Grampians 122 (Michael Harricks 39, Sean Mantell 29; Craig Britten 3-20, Tony Caccaviello 2-13, Lachie Watts 2-19).

Horsham trainer Paul Preusker enjoyed good success on his home track at MIXX FM Santa Day on Sunday, courtesy of Gold Seal.

The five-year-old lined up in the Horsham Tyre and Battery Handicap, with Declan Bates in the saddle.

Bates gave Gold Seal a beautiful ride, box seating behind the speed. The son of Arena was set alight before the turn, looming into contention very quickly.

Once Gold Seal balanced up in the straight he gave a strong kick and dashed away for a

dominant victory by two and a half lengths.

Gold Seal’s record now stands at 25 starts for three wins, and six minor placings for stake earnings of $58,000.

Day goes all the way

Darren Weir-trained and Horsham-owned galloper Keep Not A Day scored an allthe-way win in the MIXX FM Santa Day races Handicap over 1200 metres with Dean Yendall aboard.

The win was a huge thrill for Keep Not A Day’s owner-breeder, long-time Horsham Racing Club committee member Jim Lonsdale.

Chiatorio in boarder raid

Stawell trainers Terry and Karina O’Sullivan have kept their good recent form going, with a win at Morphetville on Saturday. The O’Sullivans had Chiatorio lining up in a benchmark-75 handicap over 1950 metres, with Todd Pannell in the saddle.

Chiatorio was ridden in a mid-field position and given every chance by Pannell.

The Oratorio gelding started to make his run prior to the home turn. Chiatorio was given clear galloping room in the straight and came home with a strong run.

The four-year-old dashed away, fighting the race out with Darren Weir-trained Sweet Melody, to record a narrow but tough win.

Yabbies proving plentiful ON THE BITE Yabbies are on the move with Lake Toolondo south of Horsham and Green Lake being hotspots.

A few of the swamps across the Wimmera are also starting to produce nice yabbies.

Remember regulations involving catch rates and nets. There have been plenty of indications that fisheries officers will be out in force.

Taylors Lake is still fishing well with Murray cod starting to fire in response to warmer weather.

Yabbies and worms are proving successful for bait fishers while spinner baits, chatter baits and deep-diving hard bodies are doing the job for lure anglers.

Cod are the kings of the native ambush predators and, depending on size, will capture and swallow large prey.

They also enjoy what appears to be a free feed.

Cod can grow to monster proportions and it was not that long ago Green Lake was a magnet for cod anglers from across the state and beyond.

We wonder if images of anglers carrying off their catches in wheelbarrows will ever return now water has returned to the lake?

Cod fishing has been going gangbusters beyond the Wimmera

GOOD YELLA: Rob ‘Bullfighter’ Tori with a 1.36-kilogram yellowbelly caught at Taylors Lake earlier this month. with Lake Eildon fishing unbelievably at present with large cod and yellowbelly being caught on lures.

A Wimmera Outdoors Cod Squad including Gary Jelly, Paul Lewis and Trevor and Helen Simmons were also among Wimmera anglers who competed in the Cod Classic at Lake Mulwala.

Helen caught the fifth largest cod in the competition that fea-

tured more than 2500 competitors.

She used cheese on a wide-gap hook.

The team also caught many undersized cod on spinnerbaits and Digger lures. The best bait for yellowbelly was worms.

Wimmera Offshore Angling Club is also busy, making the most of the wonderful coastal fishing available on the south coasts of Victoria and South Australia.

Chasing fish in protected harbours or on the edge of the Continental Shelf usually represents a great fishing adventure.

Anyone keen on joining the club can call club president Greg Brown on 0429 426 189.

Horsham Angling Club twilight competitions on the Wimmera River are on January 4, 11 and 18.

Fishing is in Horsham from Riverside bridge and Horsham weir.

Registrations and weigh-in are at Horsham clubrooms at Sawyer Park.

Anyone keen on joining in is welcome and every junior gets a prize.

Returning on January 23 on

Colts set to celebrate milestone

C

olts Cricket Club members are dedicating their 50th anniversary celebrations in January next year to long-time club and Horsham association stalwart, the late Dudley Cornell.

The club, based at Cornell Park, formerly North Park in Horsham, has also issued an invitation to anyone with past involvement with the club to attend the event.

The anniversary event is on the weekend of January 27 to 29.

Club vice-president and life-member Dean ‘Digger’ Arnott, who has been part of the club for 43 years, said there was a strong push to encourage anyone who had been part of the club to get involved.

“It will be great to see everyone there for the registration and welcome on the Friday night,” he said.

“I urge anyone planning to come to pass on details to any former members with whom we no longer have any contact.”

Many players who were part of senior teams are household names among Horsham district’s cricket fraternity.

Few would forget the formidable opening bowling partnership of Paul Fulton and Shane McLean during the 1980s, who picked up the fast-bowling baton from the likes of Les Barnett.

All-rounders such as Kevin Pymer, Phil Lienert, Brad Millar, run-accumulating Ian Hair and Rick Schirmer, wicket-keeper and batsman Peter Korth and long-time Colts personality Clarrie Taberner are among notable

people who came through the club.

Dudley Cornell, who died in 2012, founded Colts from former Presbyterian Club in the 1966-67 season.

Colts became fiercely competitive as one of the association’s mainstay Horsham cricket institutions.

The club traditionally fielded an A Grade team and this year, with B and C Grade outfits, is working to win promotion back into the association’s

flagship competition. “We’re on top of the ladder in B Grade and our aim is to get back into our rightful spot in A Grade,” Mr Arnott said.

“But we are not going back up unless we win a premiership this season.

“We want to rightfully win our spot in the A Grade competition.”

Mr Arnott added the death of club favourite Tim Koenig this season had been a driving force in knitting the

club together. “We’re hoping people make the journey back to Horsham, back to their old stomping ground to reminisce,” he said.

“We want people to tell us their stories, listen to others and have a laugh together. We need everyone to have a wonderful weekend.

“We will be honouring some previous members in a special presentation, so please turn up, it might be you or

someone you know.” The celebration format includes registration and welcome at Cornell Park from 6.30pm on January 27, B and C Grade cricket matches at the park followed by a two-course evening meal on January 28 and a farewell T20 game from 11.30am and a barbecue Sunday lunch on January 29.

People seeking information can call Dean Arnott on 0417 882 542.

Undefeated Combine the Grampians team to beat BY ‘ONE SHORT’ As Grampians Cricket Association breaks for Christmas and the new year with resumption scheduled for January 7, an examination of the season thus far sees Swifts-Great Western undefeated on 36 points.

The Combine is two games clear of Buangor and Pomonal on 24 points, followed by Aradale and Tatyoon on 12 points with Halls Gap on six.

It would seem the Combine already has enough points to ensure a finals berth and will now look to a top-two finish.

With five players in the top-10 run scorers and three in the top-10 wicket takers, the Combine is well placed as flag favourite.

Buangor, occupying second position on percentage from Pomonal, has relied on the all-round ability of skipper Chris Jerram who leads the competition run-scoring with 240 runs and sits second on the bowling list with 14 wickets.

Unfortunately for his team he is the only player in the top-10 batters, but Buangor has Peter Latham and Charlie Dyer in the top 10 bowlers.

somersby PREMIX apple & KING pear ciders

If Harry Ganley can be lured back from East Ballarat it would greatly enhance the club’s chances of finishing second.

Pomonal has had difficulty posting decent scores which is reflected in the fact Pomonal has no batsman in the top-10 aggregates, Robbie McKinnon the top-scoring batsman with 93.

The Tigers have relied on bowlers Lee Oliver, 14 wickets, and Matt Grinham, 12, for their wins.

If Pomonal is to claim second spot, its batsmen must improve.

The battle for fourth spot appears to

be between Aradale, holding that spot, Tatyoon and Halls Gap. Only six points separate the three, with Aradale leading by reason of forfeit from Tatyoon.

This forfeit might prove costly to the Hawks and Halls Gap will be ruing the ‘one that got away’ when in a winning position against Buangor.

Aradale has relied on John Butler as the only Aradale player in the top 10 association bowlers, Tatyoon has none in the top 10, while the Gappers have turned to Dylan O’Neil for wickets.

As far as batsmen go, Aradale’s

39

top run-getter is Brent Tate, Tatyoon has relied on Michael Harricks with 158, and Halls Gap has Justin Harney and Andrew Cameron in the top-10 batsmen.

The battle for fourth spot will be an ongoing challenge for these clubs.

With senior cricket on hold over the holiday period, the association attention will turn to Central Highlands Junior Country Week tournaments.

Grampians has teams in under-13 and under-15 grades while Ballarat Blue has already won an under-17 competition over Gisborne White.

Hornets looking strong

BY SARAH SCULLY

H

orsham Hornets men’s and women’s teams will enter the Christmas-New Year break on a high note after recording wins against Warrnambool at the weekend.

The Lady Hornets’ seven-point triumph over the Mermaids, 6962, was an improved performance after the Warrnambool team got the better of them a week earlier.

Coach Gareth Hiscock was pleased with the hard-fought victory in a close contest.

“It was a 20-point turnaround on the week before, which was good,” he said.

Ema Iredell continued her rich vein of form, top scoring with 23 points.

“Ema was outstanding again.

She’s playing as well as she’s ever played,” Hiscock said.

“Caitlin Story was also good again and Georgia Hiscock got back a bit of form.

“Having Sophie Alexander back was also a plus. She probably had her quietest game for the season, but everyone stands up a bit taller when she’s on the court.”

Hiscock said the break came at a good time after a hectic month.

“We’re definitely ready for it,” he said. “It’s going to be tough

when we come back because the competition has really evened out.

“Millicent is probably the only team safe on top of the ladder, but the remaining three spots will be decided between four teams.

“The first two to three games back will be crucial to see who makes finals.”

The Lady Hornets are in fourth spot.

The Hornets men’s team continues to lead the south-west conference ladder following a 19-point victory over the Seahawks, 86-67.

Damien Skurrie, 24, and Tim Pickert, 15, led the way.

Stawell Wildcats got within a whisker of their first win of the the season, falling short of the Seahawks by a point on Sunday.

Warrnambool held on in a nailbiter, 77-76, despite the efforts of Stawell’s Paul Summers, 17, and Jake Stainsby, 12.

The Wildcats women fought valiantly against the Mermaids, with Grace Bibby, 13, and Julia Maasland, 10, among the standouts.

Despite the Wildcats’ efforts the Mermaids claimed the win 79-41 to keep fifth spot.

The 2016-17 Country Basketball League season resumes on January 7.

A strong field of 95 players competed at Stawell Golf Club in Wimmera District Veteran Golfers Association’s latest stableford.

In fine and sunny conditions, Stawell golfers were hard to beat on their home course, winning the major trophies in each grade.

Ron Bailey with 38 points was A Grade winner from Jim McKendrick on 36. B Grade went to Bob Freeland with 39 points, being the best round for the day. He won from Rob Blachford on 36 points. C Grade went to David Fiscilini with 36 points, winning from Wayne Smith on 34. The next veterans’ event will be at Edenhope Golf Club on January 23.

Exciting times ahead for volleyballers

BY DAVID BERRY The appointment of a Western Region volleyball development officer will go a long way towards boosting the sport across this side of the state.

Volleyball Victoria general manager Geoff Rietschel confirmed money had been set aside to help with the establishment of the position, which will initially be for three years. All that is left to do is confirm commitment from associations in Warrnambool, Bendigo, Ballarat, Mildura and Horsham before an appointment can be made.

Already the Western Phantoms Volleyball Club has agreed to support the position. Discussions with the associations will occur in January.

This commitment by Volleyball Victoria in our region underlines the great work of many volunteers over a long period of

Stawell players dominate

time, in making volleyball the sport of choice for a lot of young people.

To have our own dedicated development officer takes the pressure off volunteers and enables them to devote their energies elsewhere for the betterment of their associations.

The development officer will be based in Horsham at the offices of the Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly and will work with associations on firstly establishing school visitations as well as working closely with the associations on their development and sustainability.

Volleyball Australia is working through how best to allocate participation funding.

Volleyball Victoria has discussed the development officer position with Volleyball Australia with the hope that matching funding might be forthcoming sometime in mid-2017.

Already we have seen exciting news come out of Canberra for the sport going forward.

A full-time women’s program has been established at the Australian Institute of Sport, Australia will host the group finals of World League and Women’s World Grand Prix in 2017.

More opportunities will be forthcoming for grass-roots players to be identified at National level with the establishment of more camps across the country where National coaches will be in attendance.

While these initiatives seem to be way out of reach of the local players, we know through the efforts of Volleyball Horsham players and coaches this year who participated at National Juniors and National Schools Cup that in three to five years their dreams of coaching-playing for their country might become a reality.
