Mr Wheaton said Goroke Golf Club would provide a light lunch at a cost of $7. Artists for the three shows are Johanna Hemara from Sydney and Trevor Keilar from Warrnambool. Mr Wheaton said Hemara was ‘a class act with dynamic vocals and a vast range’ which helped her adopt many styles to sing songs such as Dolly Parton’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ made famous by Whitney Houston.
“Hemara is one of the best yodellers in Australia. She attracts large crowds at Tamworth , Mildura and other festivals,” he said. Keilar, who has performed at two Horsham Country Music Festivals will support Hemara. The Horsham dinner show costs $30 and Horsham Morning Melodies $12. People can obtain tickets by phoning the RSL on 5382 5912 or by visiting the club.
Community backs development plan
Rural Northwest Health leaders are confident they have a community tick of approval for a $9.8-million stage-two redevelopment of a Warracknabeal campus. The health service released a master plan for public viewing last week, providing an opportunity for community members and heathservice staff to ask questions and provide input. Chief executive Catherine Morley and other project-control group members including board chairman Leo Casey, community and acute manager Jodi Lake and aged-care manager Sean Lake attended the viewings. Ms Morley said the general reaction to the plans was positive and amenable.
“There was a good cross section of the community in attendance at the viewings including younger and older members,” Ms Morley said. “There was healthy discussion and a genuine acceptance of the direction we are taking with the redevelopment. It was very pleasing,” she said. Ms Morley emphasised that the redevelopment would allow Rural Northwest Health to operate all Warracknabeal campus services from one building. “The $8.8-million in federal funding was allocated to enhance the acute, urgent care and community primary care areas and allow us to develop a one-stop shop,” she said.
Hurst set to lead health service advisory group Audrey Hurst from Dimboola is Wimmera Health Care Group’s new community advisory committee chairman. She replaces Gillian Vanderwaal who has stepped down after three years. Group chief executive Chris Scott praised Ms Vanderwaal for her commitment to the committee and welcomed Ms Hurst to her new role.

Ms Hurst has represented the Dimboola community on the committee for three years. “I think the committee is very important because it allows the community to have a real say on how the hospital is run,” Ms Hurst said. The community advisory committee meets quarterly and provides feedback to Wimmera Health Care Group
on a wide range of issues. It plays a major role in production of community documents and brochures. A management board appoints committee members and invites people with various skills who have an interest in health issues affecting the regional community, strong community links and commitment and good communication skills.
