Events join forces O

BY DEAN LAWSON

rganisers behind two of Horsham’s biggest annual community events will join forces later this year to present a big weekend of celebration.

Event scheduling and planning has led to groups preparing for Horsham’s Kannamaroo Festival and Horsham Carols by Candlelight working in partnership.

The weekend of activities will run from November 29 to December 1 with Kannamaroo activities leading into a Sunday carols celebration and fireworks at Sawyer Park.

Kannamaroo has come to reflect the change in seasons from spring to summer and while anchored by a

traditional Friday night street party in Horsham’s shopping heart, includes and embraces other events across the weekend.

A Great Wimmera River Duck Race, which raises money for Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation, has become an integral part of extended festival activities.

Kannamaroo Festival committee chair Di Bell said the trial, coinciding with the event’s 40th birthday, was based on an effort to incorporate key events into a bigger weekend.

She said the festival committee had approached Carols by Candlelight organisers to trial having the two events on the same weekend.

“Over the years I have often looked at events and believed if we worked

with others, we could pool with other events and create a feature-festival weekend for Horsham, with each committee operating their own individual events,” she said.

“We need to look at things differently on a whole to create bigger drawcards for locals and attract visitors.

“Many groups are operating with very small committees and struggle to bring in new members.

“By collaborating with other events we can host a festival-style weekend without extra workload on individual committees.

“Kannamaroo has been moving towards this in recent years and incorporated the motorcycle Toy Run, and the Horsham Aquatic Centre big

inflatables Pool Party into our weekend.”

Horsham Christian Ministers Association presents Horsham carols, which in the past has attracted thousands of people.

Event co-ordinator Simon Dandy said bringing the two events together made sense.

“It’s a busy time of year for everyone and in having events that were only a week apart might have been a bit much,” he said.

“The carols are on the first Sunday of December and they just happened to fall on December 1 this year.

“With a lot of people in Horsham already there are a lot of economies of scale to consider.”

Ararat uses saved money on upgrades A

rarat Rural City Council will use money saved by managing services ‘in house’ to upgrade fitness and aquatic assets in the municipality.

The council will direct the savings into upgrading Ararat Fitness Centre and Willaura and Lake Bolac swimming pools.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the upgrades would happen during the next 18 months.

He said he anticipated savings to be about $1.1-million during an initial five-year period, from 2019-20 to 2024-25.

He said the council would achieve the upgrades through a loan of up to $2.5-million and meet loan commit-

ments through ongoing savings from ending a contract involving managers Unified Community Sports and Leisure and taking control of service delivery.

“Some of the funds will also be used to upgrade and repair ageing infrastructure at Willaura Outdoor Memorial Pool and the Peter O’Rorke Lake Bolac Memorial Pool,” he said.

UCSL manage both rural pools, plus the Ararat Fitness Centre and Ararat Outdoor Olympic Pool.

The council will also be seeking grant money from state and federal governments to further offset the cost of the upgrade projects.

Dr Harrison said council last week resolved to end the UCSL contract 10 months early after a report identified

significant savings could be made by bringing management in house.

He said the council had given UCSL two months’ notice, as required in a contract, and confirmed all current staff would have secure employment for at least three months after the council took control of services on October 28.

“The council is very aware of the uncertainty that this change brings to staff and we want to work with them as soon as possible to talk about their future employment with the centre,” Dr Harrison said.

“This is an economic decision that will not only provide a much-needed infrastructure upgrade to important council facilities, but will also allow the council to create a stronger link

with our community through direct provision of this key service.”

Dr Harrison said the council would work with key user groups and the broader community to redevelop Ararat Fitness Centre facilities to improve accessibility and provide a more upto-date environment.

“As centre users will already know, Ararat Fitness Centre is in need of an upgrade and the council has already started work on plans for this. We will refine these plans through broad consultation,” he said.

“The council is very excited about the possibilities these upgrades will bring, and we hope the community will be very happy to hear the centre will be getting some much-needed attention.”

Festivals unite

Mural celebrates Wimmera sporting talent A permanent display at Horsham Basketball Stadium stands as testament to the Wimmera’s ability to produce elite basketball talent.

A ‘Culture of Champions’ mural features 14 players who cut their teeth in the game with Horsham Amateur Basketball Association before going on to national and international success.

The photographic representation, spanning across the interior wall at the eastern end of the stadium’s number-two court, features players in most areas of elite basketball.

They include male, female and all-abilities players, many who have played in Australia’s National Basketball League, Women’s National Basketball League, represented Australia in international competition and even played in the United States’ National Basketball Association.

Many have also had or are gaining experience in the United States’ collegiate basketball system.

Horsham association coaching patriarch and former NBL coach Owen Hughan, responsible for much of the player-development pathway in Horsham, also features in the mural.

Guests at the official mural unveiling included Member for Lowan Emma Kealy, Horsham Mayor Mark Radford, Cr John Robinson, Basketball Victoria Country chief executive David Huxtable and former Horsham mayor Kevin Dellar, a key figure in the construction of the Horsham stadium.

Horsham association vice-president Gareth Hiscock said the mural had become the centrepiece of the stadium.

From page 1 “We remain two distinct events and the idea is to bring two autonomous events together in partnership to see if it works better for the community,” Mr Dandy said.

“The hope is that if people are around for Kannamaroo then they can also come along to carols. There are many synergies.”

Mrs Bell said the change of date had other potential benefits with students free of examinations to become part of the festival.

“It would be great if some of our youth were interested in joining our committee to continually bring new ideas for future festivals,” she said.

Mrs Bell said the change meant Kannamaroo would not present events at Sawyer Park on the Saturday this year to allow for Carols by Candlelight preparations.

“We are looking instead to do more in the CBD on the Saturday morning around the arrival of the Toy Run, maybe a sidewalk market-style event with music,” she said.

“Any market stall operators are asked to contact the festival committee via Facebook or by calling 1300 668 315 if they would be interested in participating.”

Mr Dandy stressed the partnership idea was a trial and what happened in the future was an unknown.

The Great Wimmera Duck Race, run

by Friends of Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation and in its seventh year, is also part of new arrangements.

The event has 2000 plastic ducks, all with numbers, involved in a river race.

Organisers sold more than 2000 tickets before last year’s race and are still discussing a day and time for this year’s event.

REACHING THE TOP: From left, some of the Horsham basketball identities who feature in a Culture of Champions mural, Liam Norton, Shaun Bruce, Joel Emmett, Steph St John, Aaron Bruce and Owen Hughan during the mural unveiling.

“As David Huxtable said, we’re going to be the envy of associations across the state,” he said.

The mural features Shaun Bruce, Ashley Constable, John Philip, Joel Emmett, Aaron Bruce, Melissa McClure, Jannik Blair, Liam Norton, Chloe Bibby, Shane McDonald, Mitch Creek, Jason Souter, Owen Hughan and Steph St John.

Shaun Bruce is a professional player who is now with NBL club Sydney Kings after stints with various clubs including other NBL outfits Brisbane Bullets and Adelaide 36ers.

Constable also plays in the NBL, with Cairns Taipans, and Philip played NBL with Illawarra Hawks.

Aaron Bruce, brother of Shaun,

played with Adelaide 36sers, was 2009 NBL Rookie of the Year and finished his career with Sydney Kings.

Norton was another NBL player, suiting up for Melbourne Tigers.

One of the most successful and prolific of the players featured is Melissa Sinfield, nee McClure, who played with Perth Lynx in WNBL where she established herself as a club legend.

She was a former league games record holder and the club retired her number 13 when she retired.

McDonald, whose backcourt partnership with Aaron Bruce with Horsham Hornets in the early 2000s left spectators spellbound, played NBL with New Zealand Breakers, Mel-

Dr Harrison said the council would present draft plans for the fitness centre upgrade to stakeholders and centre users for feedback by the end of the year.

“This is great news for the community – the Ararat Fitness Centre is no longer up to modern standard with areas including accessibility, change spaces and exercise areas needing a lot of attention,” he said.

“The two rural swimming pools at Lake Bolac and Willaura are also in urgent need of upgrades and we are pleased we will be able to undertake the necessary work there after this decision.”

UCSL has had the contract to manage the four facilities since October 2015.

Warracknabeal’s Bibby plays WNBL with Dandenong Rangers, now Southside Flyers.

Australian Boomer Creek, who has signed with South East Melbourne Phoenix after a lengthy stint with Adelaide 36ers, also captured attention by breaking into the NBA with Brooklyn and Minnesota.

Blair, an Australian wheelchair-basketball Paralympian, Souter and St John, national representatives in all-abilities competition, and Emmett, a member of a medal-winning Australian team at World Dwarf Games, also feature in the mural.

PUBLIC NOTICES 28 August 2019

Recycling won’t go to landfill Horsham Rural City Council is reassuring residents that recyclable materials placed in their yellow recycling bins will not go to landfill and will continue to be processed as normal.

The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has ordered the SKM Material Recycling Facilities in Coolaroo and Geelong to stop accepting recycling materials following several fires at the sites.

Council’s recycling collection contract, with Wheelie Waste, results in materials being sent for processing through Visy recycling, which is not impacted by this EPA decision.

Chief Executive Officer Sunil Bhalla said recycling services would not be affected by the closure of the SKM facilities and residents should put out their recycling bins as normal.

“Our community works hard to minimise waste and it’s important that they continue to be conscientious and recycle,” Mr Bhalla said.

Meanwhile residents are being urged to dispose of their electronic waste (e-waste) responsibly.

A new state-wide ban means e-waste will not be accepted in any bins or landfills across Victoria.

E-waste is any item with a plug, battery or cord that is no longer working or wanted and covers a whole range of items, from old phones, computers and household appliances to power tools and toys.

E-waste is accepted free of charge at all HRCC transfer stations.

Country star to play Horsham concert Australian music icon James Blundell is headed for Horsham as part of Seniors Week activities.

Blundell will play at the Masonic Lodge Hall on Wednesday 9 October from 10am.

Bookings can be made from Monday 16 September. Seniors Week in Horsham will run from October 7 to 11.

FREE TRANSFER STATION LOAD Urban Bin Ratepayers Only Council is again offering one free waste load to all ratepayers paying the urban bin charge this financial year.

Ratepayers paying the urban bin charge are paying a higher fee as compared to the rural bin charge (as below): 120L/240L Residential Urban bin charge

$258/$402

120L/240L Residential Rural bin charge

$228/$372

HRCC's Building Department will hold two Building Information Seminars for building practitioners in the region

Check your rates notice for this charge Ratepayers paying the urban bin charge are paying the higher fee as a result of the recycling crisis that has hit all municipalities in Victoria, triggered by the introduction of tighter quality standards by China which imports much of Australia’s recycled material.

Council is mindful of the larger cost for urban bin ratepayers, and therefore will be offering one free waste load to all customers paying this fee. These ratepayers are able to dispose of one load of waste (other than tyres or asbestos) in a 6’x 4’ trailer or a car boot to be used at: Horsham Transfer Station, 93 Kenny Road, Horsham Quantong Transfer Station, 497 Lanes Avenue, Quantong

Please present your original 2019/2020 rate notice (dated 24/07/2019) to the site attendant at either Horsham or Quantong Transfer Stations

NO STOS E B S A

Valid until 30 June 2020 NOTE: You must present your 2019/2020 rate notice (dated 24/07/2019) to the site attendant. You must be paying the 240L or 120L Garbage Urban charge. Limit of 1 mattress. Limit of 1 load per 2019/2020 rate notice. No trailer cages.

Friday deadline for draft master plan

P

eople keen to have a say about a Horsham City to River draft master plan have until Friday to provide feedback.

The regional community has already provided more than 400 submissions to Horsham Rural City Council since the engagement period started in early July.

Chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the council appreciated the efforts of people who had so far contributed to the discussion.

“The response has been terrific. We have received detailed and thoughtful feedback that shows how much people care about our city and the idea of making better use of the Wimmera River and better connections to the central activity district,” he said.

“Opinions have been sought from all

sections of the community including school students, senior citizens, key user groups and the broader Wimmera community.”

Mr Bhalla urged people to be positive in their submissions and comments, regardless of whether they agreed or disagreed with details of the plan.

“Ultimately we’re talking about helping Horsham moving forward and being prepared to meet community needs and expectations for the future.

It is much more about thinking of improvements rather than trying to upset what has worked in the past,” he said.

“People can be assured the council is never going to put anything up that won’t work or doesn’t provide value for money. All we’re asking for is feedback on what people like or don’t

like about the draft master plan and to tell us how it can be improved. We’ve had a lot of constructive feedback already through the submissions, importantly presented in a positive way.

But there are some concerns too.”

Mr Bhalla dismissed criticism over the council presenting the plan to school children.

“We’re talking about providing facilities for future generations and this involves children,” he said.

“It’s unfair to assume kids can’t have a say. We need the voice of youth and the reality is we’re giving them a taste of democracy. Surely it’s a good learning experience to understand how we engage in these processes.

“Their responses also don’t skew results. We’re collecting demograph-

ics in the data and know if responses come from children. It is just extra information.”

Mr Bhalla said the council realised there were differences in views about what people liked and didn’t like about the draft master plan.

“We will need to work together to resolve these. Compromises will need to be made and councillors will ultimately make those decisions,” he said.

He said the council would review and consider every submission.

“It’s important to note that this is not simply a vote count. After Friday a detailed report analysing key themes in relation to the project’s objectives will be presented to councillors,” he said.

Mr Bhalla said a common question was about how the council would

fund concepts in the draft master plan. “Funding would be drawn from four different areas. We would need generous support from the state and federal governments. There would need to be a council contribution and money from the private sector would also be required,” he said.

“If we received funding from higher levels of government for the City to River project, it would not mean other important areas such as roads, health and education would receive less funding.

“Having a holistic long-term vision will put our city in a better position to access funding opportunities in sport, recreation and tourism for example.”

People can have their say by lodging submissions online and in writing.

RHYTHMIC: Sarah McFarlane, Horsham, performs at Horsham Calisthenics College’s 39th annual competition at Horsham Town Hall at the weekend. She was among more than 200 competitors competing in four team divisions, as well as solo performances.

Horsham principal coach Kylie Hermans described the competition as a ‘very successful and huge weekend’. She said Mildura was the competition’s overall aggregate winner, also winning sub-junior division 10-11 and junior division 9-10. Horsham was successful in junior division 6-8 and intermediate division 6-9 and Mt Gambier placed first in senior division 5-9 and runner-up in sub-junior division 8-9. Naracoorte was runner-up in junior division 9-10.

Pomonal prepares for art festival For a small western Victorian community, an annual art show and festival is more than a celebration of regional artistry, it also marks the cornerstone fundraiser supporting the continued longevity of the town’s primary school.

Pomonal Art Show and Festival will return for its 29th year at the weekend, starting with a charity auction night at Pomonal Hall on Friday from 6.30pm.

The three-day event will also include an art exhibition at Po-

monal Hall on Saturday from 10am to 4pm and a family Father’s Day festival, featuring live music, activities and a market, on Sunday from 10am.

The event has helped raise more than $15,000 for Pomonal Primary School, and principal Belinda Wethers said the art show would again be vital in ensuring the school could continue to offer quality education.

“We’re down to 15 students, and because funding is based off that number, our funding is

cut, so the Pomonal Art Show allows specialist classes to continue by supplementing our grants,” she said.

Event project manager Carly Flecknoe said 40 Grampians-based artists would exhibit about 200 art pieces this year.

People can attend the Friday auction night for $15 and children’s entry is free. Entry includes wood-fired pizzas. Saturday’s art exhibition and the Sunday Father’s Day festival will cost $4 a person for entry.

Recycling as usual for cities

A

rarat and Horsham councils have dispelled fears that household recycled waste in the municipalities might be destined for landfill.

Both have issued statements reassuring recycling services will continue as usual despite a Victorian recycling crisis.

Ararat chief executive Tim Harrison and his Horsham counterpart Sunil Bhalla echoed each other in declaring services unaffected by an Environment Protection Authority order for SKM Material Recycling to stop accepting materials at Coolaroo and Geelong sites.

Both confirmed the municipalities were sending recycling material through Visy for processing.

“Ararat Rural City Council does not use the affected company, SKM, but instead uses Visy Recycling to process its recycling collections,” Dr Harrison said.

“As a result, our residents’ recycling

is not going to landfill, and the council definitely has not levied a ‘bin tax’.

“All our waste fees and charges are set within our annual budget and if we were to change these, we would need to go through a legislative process that requires public consultation and engagement.

“I encourage all our residents to keep sorting their waste and recycling as normal, because this municipality is not at all affected by the current issues.

“So please keep sorting your waste and putting out your recycling bin as normal.”

Mr Bhalla said the Horsham council had a contract with Wheelie Waste, which meant material was forwarded to Visy.

“Our community works hard to minimise waste and it’s important that they continue to be conscientious and recycle,” he said.

Dr Harrison said anyone keen to know more about recycling could visit a Sustainability Victoria website at www.sustainability.vic.gov.au.

Alternative route a must

C

oncerns about a pedestrian crossing in Horsham’s McPherson Street clearly demonstrate that issues surrounding the volume of highway traffic in the Wimmera city need addressing.

The reality is that a message that the high number of heavy trucks mixing with urban, school and shopping traffic being of particular concern is playing like a broken record.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is the latest public figure to raise the alarm and is right in stressing that Horsham needs to quickly come up with a solution.

The term ‘quickly’ means a solution must be in place in the next few years, not decades.

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson

For too long arguments about the number of trucks in Horsham has formed part of intense discussion, debate and anxiety over an expansive Western Highway bypass route – a project that is probably so far in the future it is almost irrelevant.

What is highly relevant is that Horsham needs an appropriate alternative heavy-vehicle route and it needs it now.

The right sort of heavy-vehicle route,

or ring road, would in no way represent what a modern and even perhaps dual-carriageway highway bypass might look like in the future.

It would be a simple single-carriageway, speed-restricted road, hopefully without the hindrance of intersections and lights and be designed specifically for heavy vehicles.

If you combine a pressing emergency-service need for another vehicle bridge across the Wimmera River in Horsham then an obvious route would be to skim the southern outskirts of the city.

It would include a bridge near Curran Road, where it could connect with highways and run past Horsham’s Enterprise Estate, where heavy vehicles already operate daily.

SIR, – As Horsham Rural City Council Mayor I feel I have a responsibility to respond to some recent commentary about the City to River project.

The four pieces of ‘planning’ work, under the banner of ‘Transforming Horsham’, in my view, are critical and overdue.

The council has received generous support from the State Government to do this work and now it’s happening.

The intentional effort to ‘engage’ the community in recent weeks has included a wide age and experience range – from Wimmera Mobility Group to the students at some of our schools; from walkers and joggers at Park Run to shoppers at Horsham Plaza and Haven Market.

Community consultation is more than a number process. It includes collecting opinions and ideas.

Thank you to the hundreds of people who have had their say on the draft, concept master plan.

It is not a schematic drawing, it is not a detailed plan, it is a collection of ideas.

The need for this work is captured in the 2018-2022 council plan, adopted by the council, and was reinforced by including this work as a key-performance indicator, adopted by the council, for the chief executive.

The City to River can be summed up in a few principle goals: • Improving the central business district for businesses, shoppers, pedestrians, locals and visitors.

• Improving the Wimmera River precinct, from the showground to the pedestrian bridge, for locals and visitors and stimulate local business.

• Plant more trees.

• Consider these things with ‘future’ thinking and a ‘what could be’ attitude.

• Create modern, safe and compliant sport-

ing facilities, close to the central business district, to encourage more people, of all ages, to play more sport, more often.

State Government support has and will continue to be critical.

Four State Government representatives sit on the project control group.

Our reliance on government support was a lesson learned with the Horsham Town Hall project.

Of the $19.6-million cost of the project, $11.5-million came from government grants. Current rate-capping restriction reinforces this reliance.

Along with the many services and community facilities the council provides, ratepayers will also contribute towards these projects.

Every year councillors and staff plan the annual budget and allocate funds for council priorities, guided by the council plan.

People who have visited Mildura recently and observed the amazing improvements to their riverside precinct, Horsham Rural City Council is proud to be using the same consultant team along with state and local sporting groups, business and community groups.

The next steps include refining the feedback, adjusting the concept master plan, coming up with priorities for funding and action and more opportunities for public consultation and involvement.

On Saturday morning we joined a large group of enthusiastic runners, joggers and walkers participating in the riverside parkrun.

A visitor from Bunbury, Western Australia, holidaying in our caravan park, provided encouraging words about the event and the course.

The run challenged a cosmopolitan mix of all ages, men and women, girls and boys, babies in pushers and friendly dogs.

The lessons for the day were the impor-

The Wimmera community has an invitation to attend the third forum in ‘A Climate Journey’ series at Horsham’s Grains Innovation park on Tuesday night.

The series will focus on the past, present and future of changing climate in the region and Tuesday’s forum, starting at 6.30pm, will focus on the present.

Farmers for Climate Action deputy director Fiona Davis is presenting the forum.

To RSVP or find out more about A Climate Journey and how to live stream the forum, visit: AClimateJourneySeries DELWP.eventbrite.com.

It’s a project Horsham’s community leaders must consider separate from bypass-planning discussions.

It is a road the people of Horsham, if their city continues to expand, will ultimately need anyway.

There are legitimate arguments for and against a large expansive highway bypass, capable of carrying all sorts of high-speed traffic, to sweep in routes either northeast or southeast of Horsham.

But we have stalemate in public sentiment about this future project while issues that stimulated original discussions about transport routes remain unchanged.

There are no ‘sides’ in a call to build an alternative transport route – just a need.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Responsibility to respond

A changing climate forum

I encourage everyone who has in interest in the future of Horsham to ‘have your say’.

Mark Radford Mayor Horsham Rural City Council

Energy supply concern SIR, – Added to Australia’s waste-disposal crisis, The Weekly Advertiser, editorial, September 21, another big issue is around energy supply.

The latest Australian Energy Market Operator report shows that ongoing coal and gas breakdowns are making it harder to keep the lights on – or in the Wimmera’s case keeping the air conditioning on in summer.

Australia’s ageing coal-fired power stations are ready to retire and they need to be replaced with smart, renewable technology.

Again the Wimmera is leading in wind and solar development.

Federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor is playing the blame game, but it’s the Federal Government’s energy policy chaos that’s putting our energy security at risk.

We need a national energy policy that will keep driving investment in more cheap, clean renewable energy backed by storage to replace Australia’s retiring coal stations.

A door-to-door survey of 100 Stawell residents indicated most people expected a national energy plan to be prepared by the Federal Government to guide decision making.

It’s hard to understand why the Federal Government has continued to procrastinate. Is the fossil fuel lobby that powerful?

Revegetation project plan Hindmarsh Landcare Network is seeking expressions of interest from Wimmera Riverfrontage landholders between Dimboola and Jeparit for a major revegetation project.

The network is working with Parks Victoria on a three-year project as part of the State Government’s Biodiversity Response Plan.

The government is providing funding support for the Wimmera River Revegetation Project.

Funding is available for revegetation and fencing materials for work on any type of sites.

People seeking more information can contact Kaniva District Landcare facilitator Rommi Crouch on 0438 492 505 or email kanivalandcare@gmail.com.

Breakthrough ‘ice’ session A

n information session to assist people affected by the drug ice, including families and frontline workers, will be at Horsham Uniting Church Hall next week.

The event will be hosted by the Self Help Addiction Resource Centre, SHARC, and supported by Wimmera Drug Action Taskforce and regional alcohol and other drug service providers.

The ‘Breakthrough’ program covers topics which separate fact from fiction about ice, including what it is, why people use it and why it causes problems.

Most importantly, it explains the

process by which people decide to seek help for their drug use and how families can support their decisions.

Breakthrough also examines the relationship between drug use and mental health and provides practical strategies to help family members discuss drug use and keep the lines of communication open.

It will also provide families with the skills and knowledge to navigate the treatment system and obtain the best possible outcomes for their loved ones.

All family members attending the workshop will be given information on where to get help and support and options for ongoing support

activities. SHARC representative Glenn Hunter said family members who attended the Breakthrough program said it gave them encouragement.

“It increases their confidence in dealing with difficult family dynamics caused by having an ice user in the family,” he said.

“Health professionals, particularly those from outside of the drug and alcohol sector, find it a valuable opportunity to gain a better understanding of the family perspective.

“For anyone attending, the program creates awareness by providing facts and figures.

“This information helps to de-sensationalise and reduce fear around

ice use, without trivialising the challenges faced by families.

“Participants in rural areas have suggested that information provided by the program can help to reduce stigma which can lead to better management in the community.”

People can register for the Breakthrough session by visiting website www.breakthroughforfamilies. com/attend and scrolling down to select the Horsham session, or calling the Family Drug Helpline on 1300 660 068.

The session will be at Horsham Uniting Church Hall from 6pm to 9pm on Wednesday next week and is free to attend.

Community backs ‘Bright Sparks’

10-19 OCTOBER 2019 | HORSHAM TOWN HALL THEATRE | 03 5382 9555 71 Pynsent Street Horsham | horshamtownhall.com.au

A specialised workshop program offering Wimmera students learning and leadership opportunities is thriving under continued community backing.

Horsham’s St Brigid’s College is running its fourth session of ‘Bright Sparks’ for students in grade five to year seven.

The free after-school program operates every Wednesday from 3.45pm across a four-week period, bringing together students from seven different schools to participate in up to six workshops.

Co-ordinating teacher Michelle Dooling said student numbers at Bright Sparks workshops, which include ‘Weird Science’, ‘Table Tennis’ and ‘Happy Chefs’, had more than doubled since its installation last year.

She said increasing family interest and positive feedback was a strong encourager, with

the college eager to continue to support the program in coming years.

“When we were first introducing the program, we weren’t quite sure how it would be received,” she said.

“But the families have been really supportive and we’ve had a lot of positive feedback and requests for it to return.

“We had about 30 students at first. This time around we have more than 60, so it’s clearly something the community supports and the children enjoy.

“The school definitely wants to continue the program if the community continues to support it.”

Mrs Dooling said the workshops aimed to provide grade five and six students the chance to experience secondary schooling, while giving year seven’s leadership skills by ‘taking younger students under their

wing’. She said many families had said their children started to become more comfortable with the idea of transitioning to high school as a result.

“The program offers specialised workshops where the children can access interests and passions without being restricted by their curriculum,” she said.

“For the grade five and six students it’s a chance to mingle with other students and gain confidence before moving into secondary school where they’ll be meeting new people and seeing lots of new faces.

“And for the year seven students it is a real leadership and mentoring opportunity.

“There’s a sense of responsibility there.

“It’s a really lovely vibe and we have many children who have been returning ‘bright sparks’ each time.”

High hopes for spring flows T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he Wimmera River is primed to continue flowing deep into spring if weather in the upper catchment follows traditional patterns.

Several natural flows are gradually heading down the river to Jeparit, the largest pulse peaking at 1000 megalitres, or 1000 million litres, a day.

Other pulses generated from winter run-off range between 100 and 800 megalitres a day.

An onset of dryer weather finishing off the season has meant flows have started tailing off but catchment monitors remain hopeful spring rain will provide a trigger for more water in the next couple of months.

Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan said sporadic rain in the region had led to a variability in flow regimes.

“The largest of pulses should just about be at Jeparit – it normally takes about three weeks to get there – and this on-and-off rain pattern has been providing surges leading to what appears as a meandering flow,” he said.

“What is good about what’s happening in the river is that, historically, our large inflow months are September and October. This means the river is well positioned leading into the high-yielding months.

“Fingers crossed it keeps on raining and provides a circumstance where the river continues to run under its own steam well into the warmer months.”

Mr Brennan said despite healthy flows making their way from the river’s source in the Pyrenees to the ‘always thirsty’ lower catchment, expectations were that it would

have little impact on Lake Hindmarsh, the first of terminal lakes at the end of the system.

He said the catchment had started from an ‘extremely’ dry base and had taken considerable rain to become saturated.

“We’d be happy if we could get a trickle into the mouth of Lake Hindmarsh but what’s happening at the moment will be of little consequence in regard to putting water into the lake,” he said.

“But the good news is that right along the river, this water is providing a refreshing boost to aquatic life. It will do everything from triggering a boom in macro-invertebrates such as insects and crustaceans to help out anglers with a better summer catch than they might previously have had.

“It’s a win for the environment as well as communities that rely on the river for its socio-economic benefits. We’ll wait and see whether it continues – it will great if it does.”

Wimmera headworks storage levels last week showed the system was sitting at 42.71 percent full, down from 51.95 percent for the same time last year.

The region’s primary pipeline supply impoundment Lake Bellfield at Halls Gap was 75 percent full, and key transfer lake Taylors Lake, south-east of Horsham, at 60 percent.

Figures also showed Lake Fyans near Stawell at 78 percent, nearby Lake Lonsdale at 37, Grampians lakes Wartook and Moora Moora at 58 and 71 respectively, Rocklands at 32, Toolondo at 28, Mt Cole Reservoir at 65 and Green Lake near Horsham at 65.

GWMWater officials will update reservoir figures today.

Meat Meet still to find its feet The organiser of Horsham’s Meat Meet competition remains uncertain if the barbecue-cooking event will remain in the Wimmera’s capital next year.

Robert Moir said while the two-day event at Horsham’s Maydale Reserve was a success for competitors, he was ‘underwhelmed’ by a lack of community patronage.

Mr Moir, who runs similar competitions across Australia, said there was doubt about Meat Meet staying in Horsham, but he was confident it would remain in the region.

“It’s an annual event on the competition circuit, so it will be back, but whether it will stay in

Horsham, at this stage, I’m not sure. It will definitely stay in the region though,” he said.

“I was pleased with how it went and was interested in gauging public attendance.

“From my impression it wasn’t a lot, but then I was inside a lot of the time as well.

“It’s just one of these things.

It’s a pretty specific interest and if you figured out the population here with that interest it’s probably correct with about how many people rocked up.

“The reality is I could announce one of these events in Melbourne and tickets would probably sell out in a day.”

Mr Moir said Melbourne team Butchers Axe walked away with the biggest grand-champion trophy in Australian barbecuing history on Sunday after securing the 2019 Meat Meet grand champion title.

He said from a competitive side, teams were ‘absolutely rapt’.

Mr Moir said people could experience more ‘low and slow’ cooking at the 2019 Fat Drip BBQ Competition in the Barossa Valley on October 5 and 6.

Pignataro marks end of service After nearly 30 years with Victoria Police, Horsham’s Alan Pignataro has retired.

Mr Pignataro, 52, officially marked his end of service at a presentation at Horsham Police Station.

He was Divisional Firearms officer, a role he had for more than 20 years, helping to support the firearms community and reduce illegal-weapons trade.

In a career dedicated to the community, Mr Pignataro said he had learnt above all else to treat everyone with respect and dignity regardless of their situation.

He said his motivation came back to helping Horsham district be a safe place to live, work and raise a family.

“It’s all about community service at the end of the day,” he said.

“Helping people and just making a better place to live and survive.

At the end of the day, I’ve raised a family in the same town.”

Mr Pignataro said he completed an apprenticeship and worked as an electronics technician for about six years before deciding to become a police officer.

“It was something I always wanted to do, so I went and did it,” he said.

“I started in Melbourne – everyone starts in Melbourne – and then went to a couple of country stations before ending up in Horsham.

“Subsequently, I got married and started a family and I’m still here.

“Melbourne is hustle and bustle and quite exciting as a young person. But it is certainly no place to bring up a family as far as I’m concerned.”

Ararat teens develop skills

A

spiring young Ararat district leaders have been learning new skills, making new contacts and developing confidence as they work through a Western Bulldogs Community Foundation Leadership Project.

NEXT CHAPTER: Horsham’s Alan Pignataro, left, marked the end of his service with Victoria Police last week after nearly 30 years in the force. He is pictured with Wimmera Superintendent Paul Margetts.

Picture: LOTTE REITER Mr Pignataro was also a Horsham Rural City councillor.

He said Horsham was a ‘wonderful place’ forged by ‘wholesome’ people, and a city that had given him many opportunities in both his career and family life.

“I wouldn’t still be here if it wasn’t so attractive,” he said.

“It’s certainly provided many opportunities for me, both as a policeman and as a parent in town raising children.

“The people are very laid back, they have no hidden agendas, and

they generally want your assistance, guidance or help.”

While he said he would miss the people he worked with and ‘the activities that go on’, it was now time for a younger person to take on his role.

He said being a member of the force was rewarding and encouraged anyone interested in joining Victoria Police to ‘give it a go’.

“It’s a great opportunity and a great organisation to be a part of,” he said.

– Lotte Reiter

Holly McAdie, Jack Cameron, Joshua Atkinson, Max Willmott, Natasha Ferguson and Samuel Cairns have completed five workshops and taken part in two camps as part of the program.

Their learning activities have focused on goal setting, self-awareness, group dynamics, social responsibility and project building.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the project, aimed at teenagers aged 14 to 16, had run in the municipality for the past two years.

He said this year’s program had been co-sponsored by Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network.

Dr Harrison said the two camps the young people attended centred on leadership, while the workshops covered mental health, intercultural understanding, social inclusion and gender equality.

“The Western Bulldogs Community Foundation team running the program has been very impressed with the growth of participants, who have gone from shy young people to much more confident humans in the space of a few months,” he said.

“The program is a fantastic way for our youth to develop skills and confidence, build networks and enjoy themselves.”

Father’s Day

Western Bulldogs Youth Development co-ordinator Salim Mohamed said Ararat participants at the second camp teamed up with counterparts from Glenelg Shire to develop a futuristic entrepreneurship idea to present to Powercor staff.

“The idea they developed was a ROCCET – Robotic Ocean Cleaner Creating Eco Towns – a robot that drives into the ocean to pick up waste that has been dumped, bring it back to shore then recycle it and turn it into bricks to build houses for the homeless,” he said.

“The project covered teamwork, presentation skills and time management, and they came up with a creative idea with a noble cause that would be sure to have great social impact.”

Mr Mohamed said the camp also included leadership and campsite activities such as archery and high ropes and was rounded off by participants attending a Western Bulldogs home game, where they met Bulldogs player Ben Cavarra.

Central Grampians LLEN executive officer Jessica Paterson said the organisation was proud to support the program.

“This is just one of the ways we are helping empower our young people to connect with opportunities in the local area,” she said.

The Ararat Youth Leadership group is also working on a district project, a fundraiser event on September 20, to raise awareness and money for mental health with all proceeds going towards a charity to be decided.

Calls for better warning signals F

BY DEAN LAWSON

ear of a potential disaster occurring at a major school crossing in Horsham has triggered Member for Lowan Emma Kealy into calling for a reassessment of warning signals at the site.

Ms Kealy said she believed there was a pressing need to improve traffic warning signs at the McPherson Street pedestrian crossing at Ss Michael and John’s Primary School.

“I’m calling for more conspicuous safety elements at this crossing, which would easily qualify as one of the most dangerous in Horsham,” she said.

Ms Kealy added that rising community concern about the crossing, which included intense Western Highway traffic, provided a profound reason why Horsham needed to quickly decide how to divert trucks out of the city.

“This issue has been generated by many parents posting comments on

social media and all sorts of issues involving large banks of highway traffic,” she said.

“I’ve asked for immediate reassessment of the signs and other safety elements involved at the site with Country Roads Victoria.

“I agree with the overall sentiment that what’s in place at the moment is inadequate.”

The pedestrian crossing features lights and warning signs and Horsham Rural City Council has a crossing attendant at the site during key school hours.

Hundreds of trucks travel through the heart of Horsham via Western, Henty and Wimmera highway routes every day, mingling with urban and shopping traffic.

Ms Kealy, who inspected the site with Horsham Rural City Council technical services director John Martin last week, said one option might be to have cautionary flashing yellow lights at the crossing during school hours.

“And of course this overall is-

sue points us back in the direction where we need to get trucks out of town,” she said.

“This has to happen in the short term as well as the long term.

“There is simply a need for this to happen and the Horsham council must make it happen.”

Ms Kealy said a Natimuk Road pedestrian crossing near Hillary Street was another worrying traffic area that had already attracted the attention of the Horsham council.

“I believe this crossing, which is part of the Wimmera Highway, also needs flashing lights and other ways to make it more conspicuous to motorists,” she said.

Horsham Rural City Council has explored issues involving potentially dangerous crossings and intersections in the municipality in depth.

Regional Roads Victoria, formerly VicRoads, is in charge of highways, including routes that intersect populated areas, and works with municipal councils and other stakeholders to address traffic issues.

COULD IT BE BETTER? Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is pictured with Horsham Rural City Council technical services director John Martin at a pedestrian crossing in McPherson Street.

Months of rehearsals will culminate in an Ararat Primary School musical of ‘intergalactic proportions’ tomorrow and Friday night at 7pm.

Ararat Primary School 800 grade five and six students will perform an original production, ‘Schmozzle’, at Ararat Performing Arts Centre.

Directors and teachers David Collins and Matt Haddow said the musical, telling the story of two young adventurers as they rise up against an ‘evil emperor’, involved all of the school’s grade five and six students.

They said it was fantastic to see children develop skills, talent and confidence as they progressed through the process of auditioning and applying for roles.

“Seeing students increase in confidence has been amazing,” Mr Haddow said.

“Improvements in acting, voice projection and working as a team have been the stand outs.

“All five and six students are involved in various ways, from being a primary cast member and attending rehearsals both in and out of school, to a behind-the-scenes role involving creation of props, advertising, lighting and choreography.”

Mr Collins said people could book a ticket online at www.trybooking.com/BEQFE. Adult tickets cost $15, children aged two to 18 years $5, and children under age two can attend free of charge.

GEARED UP FOR LEARNING: From left, L2P coordinator Penny WaltonBourke, Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network board of management chair Geoff Lord and longtime driver mentor Vance Bebbington before an L2P volunteer morning tea in Ararat last week. Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Support extended for young drivers A

BY LOTTE REITER

fresh bout of government funding will ensure young motorists have access to a learner-driver mentor program for the next four years.

Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network, LLEN, has offered L2P to young drivers in Ararat, Northern Grampians and Pyrenees shires for about six years.

The state-wide program, developed by the Transport Accident Commission and VicRoads, helps people aged 16 to 21 gain driving experience by matching them with a trained mentor.

Central Grampians LLEN board of management chair Geoff Lord said the Transport Accident Commission extended funding for the VicRoads run program.

He said this would ensure Central Grampians LLEN could offer another four-year term of the program and help continue to improve municipal road safety and community wellbeing.

“In the past six years our organisation has supported more than 150 young people to clock up 120 hours of driving,” Mr Lord said.

“We have also helped 80 of those young people successfully gain their probationary licence.

“L2P is an important program and we are looking forward to working with many more mentors and young drivers over the next four years.

“We thank the Northern Grampians, Ararat and Pyrenees shires, as well as all of the sponsoring organisations, for their support, which enables Central Grampians LLEN to provide this most valuable community service.”

L2P co-ordinator Penny Walton-Bourke said many young adults would struggle to obtain driving experience if the funding ceased.

She said the program had a vital role in helping people gain valuable life skills and independence as they moved into adulthood.

“We rely on that funding for the program to continue to run,” she said.

“L2P is really important for young adults who

don’t have access to a vehicle or a supervising driver who can sit with them as they learn. It gives them important life skills, and if they want to do further study or start an apprenticeship, being able to obtain their licence is a huge benefit.

“We’re hoping this funding extension will benefit about 30 young drivers across the three areas each year.”

Ms Walton-Bourke said L2P benefits extended further than simply providing people with the 120 hours needed to gain their probationary licence.

She said the program was also about providing youth, many of whom could be facing disadvantage, with a positive role model and supportive pillar.

“Mentors give an hour or two of their time a week to sit beside the learner driver. They’re a friend and someone to talk to and bond with as well,” she said.

“Sometimes the young drivers are learning over the course of two years, so mentors and drivers in that case can develop a really close friendship.

“Mentors need to be adaptable and supportive of a range of drivers who might be facing certain disadvantage. Many of the drivers might not have a positive role-model in their life.”

Central Grampians LLEN hosted an afternoon tea to celebrate regional mentors who had volunteered their time to the program.

Ms Walton-Bourke said current mentors were encouraged to attend, as well as people who were interested in learning about the program.

“This was our way of saying thank you to our amazing volunteer mentors who give up their time to teach young drivers in Ararat, Northern Grampians and Pyrenees shires,” she said.

“It’s such a rewarding way to give something back to your community.”

Learner drivers or mentors interested in joining the L2P program can call Ms Walton-Bourke on 5352 3266 or 0418 535 478.

CWA ‘home skills’ showcase Passing on day-to-day home skills forged across generations will be the primary goal of Country Women’s Association’s exhibition in Horsham next week.

Regional CWA spokeswoman Rene Vivian said the exhibition on September 2 and 3 would provide people with an opportunity to explore skills that were slowly disappearing with passing generations.

“In the past the CWA in Horsham for example would go to schools and pass on knowledge of skills such as knitting, and this hands-on community interaction between the CWA and young people has gradually become a thing of the past,” she said.

“So members are keen to keep the door open for skills that in truth, in some circumstances, can still be pivotal to everyday living.

“We’re talking about home skills and this is Wednesday, August 28, 2019

everything from darning a hole in a sock or removing a stubborn stain from work clothes to producing a banquet for a family gathering and designing and maintaining a drought-proof garden with artistic trimmings.

“These abilities are often called ‘granny skills’ and the truth is they are simply skills that boys, girls, anyone can and probably should learn in a world where we’re talking more about recycling and sustainability.

“What is important and remains very much appropriate today as it ever has, is the ability to make a dollar go as a far as possible, using and re-using products where appropriate and this is what having home skills is all about.”

Mrs Vivian said the West Wimmera Group Craft Exhibition would be at Horsham CWA Hall. www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Living insurance fills the gaps A

n Australian Bureau of Statistics report published in September 2018 shows cancer was the most common cause of death in Australia, accounting for more than 29,000 fatalities in 2017.

Incredibly, thousands of Australians are underinsured or have no insurance in place to cover the expenses caused by life-threatening illnesses.

The grief experienced by family for loved ones suffering is often compounded by the costs associated with treatments, forcing some to sell the family home to pay for extra time.

If you were one of these statistics, what value would you place on having access to the best available treatment

to help you in beating a potentially fatal disease?

Think about how important it would be to take as much time off work as you needed to recover and not worrying about having enough money to pay the bills.

Trauma insurance

South African heart surgeon Dr Marius Barnard pioneered the idea of trauma insurance when he regularly watched his patients’ families struggling with medical costs.

The first policies were offered in Australia in the 1980s.

Trauma insurance, also known as ‘living insurance’ provides a lump sum payment in the event that you

sometimes be beyond your normal means.

Without insurance cover, you might need to dip into your children’s education fund or your retirement savings; or you might even have to increase your mortgage to pay for expensive treatment.

are diagnosed with or suffer one of a range of traumatic conditions such as cancer, heart attack and stroke.

Medical advances have meant that our chances of surviving traumatic events are much better than in the past.

However, the cost of treatment can

Importantly, a trauma payment is not dependent on you being unfit to work – unlike income protection – where you need a doctor to certify your ongoing health.

The diagnosis of a traumatic condition might mean you physically could go to work, but would prefer to spend time with your family and reduce any

work-related stress while you recover and consider how your future will be affected.

Trauma insurance can provide the financial support to allow this flexibility with your work arrangements.

To make sure you don’t increase the statistics, carefully compare the many variations of trauma policies available.

There are significant variations in the features between policies such as the number and types of events covered, premium options and ancillary benefits payable.

If you require assistance, please contact your financial adviser to obtain the right policy for you.

An Ararat College student has a chance to progress to a state public-speaking final after winning a regional section with a ‘Story of Migration’.

Ararat Legacy hosted eight students from Ararat and Marian colleges at a Legacy Junior Public Speaking Awards regional final at Ararat’s Astor Cinema.

Judges selected Ararat College’s James Mullin as the winner, and Ararat Marian College’s Angel Herbert-King as runner-up with a theme of ‘The Real Heroes’.

James will now represent Ararat Legacy at a preliminary final in Ballarat on September 17, with the opportunity to progress to a Victorian final in late October if successful.

Ararat Legacy president Robert Irvine, who presented awards and certificates on the day, said judges were always amazed at the confidence and capabilities of Ararat youth.

“Their presentations demonstrated that young people have a good awareness of volunteering at all levels of community and displayed a keen knowledge of the past, present and future,” he said.

“The use of rational arguments and passion tinged with humour was both entertaining and thought provoking.”

Mr Irvine said Ararat Legacy Club was grateful for Ararat RSL Sub Branch’s ongoing funding support that enabled the club to host the regional final each year.

Relationship spanning more than a century

F

ifth-generation Merino wool breeder Murray Hill has witnessed many changes in the wool shed during his lifetime.

His family, after immigrating from the United Kingdom, settled their St Helen’s Plains property, southeast of Horsham, in 1907.

More than 100 years later and continuing the family legacy, Mr Hill runs the farm with his wife Helen and son Matthew.

Living on the property his entire life, farming became Mr Hill’s ‘life and livelihood’.

It also guaranteed him as a first-hand observer to the agricultural advancements that would occur.

“Farming has changed a lot,” he said.

“Electric wool pressers are probably the biggest difference, and electric overhead gear too. Shearing is still labour intensive, but the process of wool pressing has had a big change.”

One facet of the Hill’s family farming that has been constant, however, is their relationship with Elders – the wool broker Mr Hill said his family had been selling with for more than a century.

“We’ve always had a good relationship with Elders,” he said.

“Though we haven’t got records that go that far back, as far as I know, they’ve been marketing our wool for more than 100 years.

With Elders Wool we sell every week as opposed to every second week, as some of our competitors do. This allows us to be more selective regarding targeting markets for a client to get the best money they can for their product.

Helen, Murray and Matthew Hill with Elders District Wool Manager Nick Rogers.

“We’ve always sold our wool through them. “The sheep are shorn in July and I class the wool before it’s pressed into bales and sent to Melbourne, and Elders offer that in their catalogue.

“It’s always a very open process.”

Elders district wool manager Nicholas

Rogers said the Hills family were consistent and quality producers. They have been very loyal to Elders and are very respected Wimmera wool growers.

“They are dedicated Merino breeders and croppers that Elders are proud to have been chosen to market their wool clip,” he said.

The Australian wool market has continued its decline this week, the losses however, have not been extreme as the previous two series. Buyers continued to look for value in the market, their major focus was on the better style lots with good additional measurements, as a result these lots recorded minimal change for the series. Non-mulesed wool continued to attract strong competition during the sale, maintaining their healthy premiums over similarly specified wool (as much as 200 cents clean for selected lots) and also recorded little change. The lesser style wools and those with poor additional measurements, lacked the same demand resulting in general losses of 50 to 80 cents. It was the reduction in these types that pushed the individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) generally down by 20 to 50 cents.

The losses in the MPGs were the driving force behind the fall in the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI), which lost 16 cents for the series, closing the week at 1,494 cents. The EMI has now fallen 416 cents since the start of the 2019 calendar year. The EMI has dropped by 622 cents since the high it achieved in August 2018, a reduction of 29.4%. Despite the further price reductions, there were more sellers willing to accept the current price levels, the national passed in rate was 16.1%, this was 19.7% lower than the previous sale. The crossbreds were the only sector to record increases for the series, the MPGs for 26.0 to 28.0 micron generally rose by 25 to 40 cents. The gains in the crossbred MPGs prevented the EMI from recording a larger fall. After performing well over the previous month, the oddments suffered losses this week. All types and descriptions generally fell by 80 to 120 cents, pushing the two carding indicators down by an average of 94 cents.

United by conflict Legacy has played a large part in the life of Horsham resident Joan Kroker, 97, of Horsham whose husband Alan serviced and repaired damaged aircraft during the Second World War in Darwin and later overseas. She knows firsthand the care and benefits to war widows and their dependants from the nationwide voluntary organisation formed after the First World War. Mrs Kroker, now in Sunnyside Lutheran Retirement Village and almost blind, urges people to donate during Legacy’s Badge Week, from September 1-7, so the work can continue.

FAYE SMITH reports –

Joan and Alan Kroker

J

oan Kroker, a Legacy war widow because of her husband Alan’s war service, has links to one of Australia’s great coincidental war stories.

Her father Robert Hutchinson features in an Australian War Memorial First World War photographic poster used nationally and internationally thousands of times.

The magnificent black and white photo shows five Wimmera soldiers in a captured Turkish trench at Gallipoli.

It was a miracle the photo survived.

The camera and its leather case were retrieved from battlefield mud after the war and eventually sent to the Stawell address attached.

The rusted camera was put aside in a tin shed until the 1950s when the mother of the soldier who took the photo discovered it contained an undeveloped film and decided to investigate.

The result created First World War photographic treasure and soon drew the attention of the Australian War Memorial.

The photo took pride of place on its

CAPTURED IN TIME: This famous photograph of Australian soldiers in a captured Turkish trench on the day Allied soldiers landed at Gallipoli has become famous worldwide. From back the soldiers are, Ted Freeman of Stawell, George Clements, Dimboola, Jim Bryant, Stawell, Sam Wilson and Robert Hutchinson of Wail. All returned home except Ted Freeman who was killed in action.

First World War poster. Ted Freeman of Stawell, George Clements of Dimboola, Jim Bryant of Stawell, Sam Wilson and Private Hutchinson of Wail feature in the picture.

Private Robert Hutchinson had enlisted in the 8th Battalion in 1914 and after training at Broadmeadows and in Egypt

was among Australian soldiers involved in the disastrous Gallipoli landing on April 25, 1915.

But that morning A Company captured a Turkish trench and another Wimmera soldier photographed Private Hutchinson and his mates in it.

Private Hutchinson was later wounded

in the Second Battle of Krithia and spent time in hospitals in Malta and the United Kingdom before being discharged as medically unfit in 1916.

When home he formed Horsham RSL and was its inaugural president.

He also formed the town’s first Scout group and was its first Scout master.

But by 1918 heavy loss of life in France and Belgium meant a further call for men and Robert Hutchinson re-enlisted.

This time it was in the 15th Australian Light Horse where he served as a sergeant in Egypt training Sikh soldiers until the end of the war.

He returned again to civilian life and was with the Shell Company in Horsham for 25 years.

During the Second World War he was a part-time instructor at Horsham’s army barracks.

Robert Hutchinson, the man at the front of the famous trench photo, died in 1964.

Mrs Kroker is one of three surviving children. Their brother Robert Jnr has died.

• Joan Kroker, now almost blind, met husband Alan at a charity concert. At the time she worked as a secretary. They were married 58 years. She has three children, seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Legacy, it’s about helping regardless Legacy has played a large part in Gwen Kelm’s life. Now a resident of Horsham’s Lutheran Retirement Village, she is keen for people to understand the role of Legacy and continue supporting the non-profit organisation set up after the First World War. Gwen remains a member of Horsham Laurel Club, a group for war widows.

FAYE SMITH shares some of her story –

F

ew people could claim a tougher start to life than Gwen Kelm, 94, of Horsham.

But later in life she put that aside and alongside husband Frank, a Legatee, eagerly helped Second World War widows and their families.

An annual Christmas barbecue for war widows was one of many ways they expressed their help for the widows under their care.

Many people who know Gwen would be quick to acknowledge her as a delightful and beaming person with a wonderful, welcoming and gracious personality.

Her smile, pleasant approach and willingness to lend a hand has provided invaluable support to many war widows and their families.

But the reality is that Gwen, as a young girl, had to survive a tough existence herself and in turning personal hardship into helping others provides inspiration and reflects what Legacy is all about.

Gwen’s mother died after the birth of her 15th child. Four of the first nine children, all boys, had died.

Gwen was the next child, followed by three more boys and two more girls.

POSITIVE: Gwen Kelm, 94, is keen for people to understand the role of Legacy and continue supporting the non-profit organisation set up after the First World War. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Relatives took the last baby to raise as their own.

Gwen had a happy life with the family in Ararat until six years old when her mother died.

On the morning that changed her life, a cousin arrived at her school to inform her that she had to go home immediately.

“She said to me that I had to go home with her, that my mother was dead and I was never going to see her again,” she said.

And that’s how it was. There were no farewells.

Life was tough because her father, a warden at Ararat’s J Ward jail and Aradale psychiatric hospital, was unable to cope with the burden of raising the remaining 10 children.

He was a good gardener but spent much of his time away from home.

Relatives helped at times and a relative moved in, but she was also unable to cope with the number of children and their needs.

Personal experience a key for Wimmera business

aving spent over 30 years working in and around the public service, 22 of those in the policing domain as a police officer and public servant, Brian Basham sought a tree change and moved to Horsham in 2016. After settling into the community he sought out an opportunity to pursue his passion for helping people.

As a former police officer instructor he has a good understanding of the challenges emergency service personnel face. So, to help out he became a retired police veteran peer support officer. It was during this training that he decided to take his life experience and combine it with formal training to continue helping more people.

After completing training in hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic training (NLP) Brian began operating as a clinical hypnotherapist and counsellor from his home office just outside of Horsham since late 2018.

“I love working from our small rural property. It is very relaxing for my clients as they are not surrounded by normal office noise, and it also offers more privacy than a traditional Wednesday, August 28, 2019

Brian is currently completing a graduate diploma in counselling with a specialisation in mental health.

Brian advises that ‘the mental health course has been able to fill in some areas that the hypnotherapy training as well as adding extra skills to my existing skills set’.

Brian has a unique understanding of what it is like to live with mental health issues

Based on his injury and his teaching experience he has developed a number of techniques and strategies to increase memory and study skills. A number of his school-aged clients have tried them and have had success in using them.

Brian has made himself available outside office hours, because ‘I know how hard it is to seek get help during working hours, so I have set aside a number of after-hours appointments for those who are busy during normal office hours’.

exchange of letters and a long-distance friendship between Frank and Gwen.

One day in 1944 she returned from work to her Melbourne home to find a man waiting for her.

Frank Kelm had returned home and was eager to meet her.

The couple married 12 months later, to the day.

Frank’s sister Tot later married her brother Bert.

“The returned soldiers had experienced the bombing in Darwin by the Japanese but didn’t talk about their experiences,” Gwen said.

“But I did learn some news about their war experiences when they talked to each other.”

The couple settled on the farm at Wyn Wyn then share-dairy farmed in the Western District where together they took home seven pounds, $14, a week.

A move near Warrnambool followed before they were successful with a Soldier Settler block.

“We chose to have a dairy farm as they were easier to obtain than a grain farm,” Gwen said.

The couple farmed at Drung for 42 years and milked 120 cows. They had four children, Robert, Dennis, Glenda and Jeff.

Gwen has 13 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren.

She has lost daughter-in-law Elaine and grand-daughter Renae to cancer.

Frank died in 2010 aged 88.

Throughout all her experiences, Legacy continues to be close to Gwen’s heart and she believes the service it provides is as important today as it has ever been.

Do you suffer from anxiety or depression?

Do you want to quit smoking, increase your motivation, or be able to manage pain?

After getting help from various professionals he went on to gain various university qualifications while managing his injury.

Aside from his time in policing he has a strong education background having taught at various academic institutions, including the Victoria Police Academy.

Gwen developed health issues because of lack of care which caused her to miss much of her schooling because of hospital visits.

Head sores caused by fleas had meant she was unable to attend school regularly while receiving treatment.

She remembers the kindness of a headmaster.

It became her job to open and shut the school gate as he drove his car into the grounds. Her daily reward was a precious piece of fruit.

One winter’s day he gave her two pairs of stockings. She was grateful but had to tie them up with string as she didn’t have any other way to hold them up. But at least she was a little warmer.

“We were a neglected family,” she said.

She also remembers the bullying she received at school. And also, on leaving at 13 after a year in high school, being so ashamed of her report book that she burnt it.

Her first job was house cleaning.

The war broke out and a move to Melbourne followed as girls and women were recruited for the factories helping manufacture aircraft components as well as ammunition.

For a time she worked in Melbourne’s Exhibition Building.

For five years she made gas masks, worked as a fitter and turner, an oxy welder, made army jumpers and worked at other war-related tasks.

Meanwhile, three of Gwen’s brothers had enlisted and had met Frank Kelm from Wyn Wyn near Natimuk who was also stationed at Darwin.

Climate theme at annual seminar A

22nd annual Wimmera Biodiversity Seminar at Rupanyup next week will have ‘A Climate For Change’ theme.

The September 5 seminar, at Rupanyup Community Centre, will include a day session, a field trip and an evening dinner session.

Organising committee member La Vergne Lehmann said this year’s theme reflected the social, environmental and climatic changes that were occurring ‘more clearly than ever’.

She said climate change was at the forefront of politics around the world, along with changing environmental practices, a shift in thinking and the role of indigenous people and how women in society dealt with this change.

“Apart from seeing a change in our climate, we have also seen a marked change in the community attitude to the environment,” she said.

“This year’s theme is an acknowledgement that maintaining biodiversity is a critical part of caring for our environment – one of the main reasons why so many of us choose to live in the Wimmera.”

Mrs Lehmann said society’s definitions of ‘nature’, ‘natural’ and ‘wilderness’ were changing, as Tim Low, a keynote speaker at this year’s event would discuss.

She said Low’s book The New Nature explored how Australian animals had adapted to changes humans have made on the landscape.

She said he challenged people to think about how they had created habitat that many species were gaining benefit from and how animals and plants had been benefitting from humans since Aboriginal people began management burning of wilderness areas.

This year’s event will feature a range of speakers including; Paul Foreman, Grasslands in the Wimmera; Paul Downey, environmental consultant; Paul Fennell, Wimmera Catchment Management Authority; Nigel Binney, GWMWater; Ben Muir and Darren Griffin, Wimmera CMA and Barengi Gadjin Land Council; Ben Zeeman, Glenelg Hopkins CMA; Matt Rees, University of Melbourne; Deon Gilbert, Zoos Victoria; and Tracey Dellbridge Gray, Homeward Bound participant.

An afternoon tour will feature a property

protected by a Trust For Nature. The landholder and a Trust for Nature representative will discuss the successes and failures of a patch of revegetation and explore old growth buloke woodland and black box swamp.

A special feature this year will also be the launch of Steffen Schultz’s new Grampians flora book ‘A journey to Gariwerd colours’.

Biodiversity seminar participants will receive a handcrafted mug made by potter Wendy McInnes.

Organisers will also give away creeping boobialla, ‘Myoporum parvifolium’ plants to encourage people to bring threatened species in the region into gardens.

Wimmera CMA, Department of Environment Land, Water and Planning, Trust for Nature, GWMWater, Yarrilinks Landcare Network and the Grampians Central West Waste and Resource Recovery Group are supporting the seminar.

Tickets are $99 for the day and evening, $65 for the day only and $50 for the evening only. Tickets are available online at wimmerabiodiversityseminar19tickets. eventbrite.com.au.

Remembrance Day competition Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is encouraging primary school students across the region to enter an annual Remembrance Day poster competition.

Ms Kealy said commemorative programs such as the poster competition helped foster the participation of young Australians in memorial services and activities.

She said it also helped nurture a spirit of connectedness for primary students with the nation’s past.

The theme for the 2019 poster competition is ‘Flowers of war’.

“A stunning exhibition of 500 individual handcrafted floral brooch emblems in keeping with this year’s poster competition theme is on display at the Shrine of Remembrance, titled ‘Flowers of war wreath’,” Ms Kealy said.

“Remembrance Day, the 11th day of the 11th month, is a great opportunity for everyone to annually honour those who have served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our nation.

“The Remembrance Day poster competition provides students with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the importance of remembering and honouring Australia’s service and military history.

“I encourage all local primary schools to consider entering this year’s competition.”

Entries close at 5pm on October 8.

WINE

HIGHLIGHT: Italian jet aircraft the Marchetti, used as a trainer and light combat, will be among visiting machines at Nhill Airshow in November.

Aircraft and pilots set for Nhill show

FESTIVAL

A

ustralian aerobatics legend Chris Sperou and his sports aircraft will be among major attractions at Nhill Airshow later this year.

FRI 30 AUG - SUN 1 SEP

Airshow organisers confirmed the 13-time Australian aerobatic champion would perform at the November 2 event, joining Paul Bennet Airshows pilots and planes.

Airshow convenor Rob Lynch said sponsorship had allowed for a growing number of aircraft at the show.

“Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or just looking for something to fill in a weekend, Nhill Airshow is the place to be on Saturday, November 2,” he said.

“The headlining aircraft we have already secured are absolute adrenaline-inducing machines that will excite the crowd”.

Machines include the Paul Bennet’s Wolf Pitts Pro, one of the highest-performing aerobatic biplanes in the world, capable of flying at a top speed of 414kmh and designed specifically for aerobatics.

The Nhill show will represent the first time the aircraft will be in Nhill.

The Pitts Special is renowned for its world

Taste your way around the Grampians this first weekend of Spring and celebrate the award-winning Shiraz at the Grampians wine region’s ‘Seriously Shiraz’ Wine Festival.

Winemakers in the Grampians are serious about producing quality wines of every style and this Father’s Day weekend they are celebrating with masterclasses, unique tasting experiences and live music.

domination in competitive aerobatics during the 1960s and 1970s and remains a competitive force in today’s competitions.

Sperou will be completing a double act in the Pitts Special along with a Debonair.

Appearing at the 2015 airshow, a P51 Mustang will again make an appearance at this year’s event.

This American single-seat fighter, the type flown by Nhill’s Max Carland in the Second World War, was also used in the Korean War. Italian jet aircraft the Marchetti, used as a trainer and light combat, will also be among visiting machines.

“The airshow is shaping up to be a huge event with a significant impact on the local and wider Wimmera economy,” Mr Lynch said.

“I thank the very generous sponsors and donors who have come on board so far.

“Without their contribution we would not be able to attract such a wide range of aircraft.”

Organisers have received more than $5000 in donations.

A 2019 Nhill Airshow Sponsorship Prospectus is available at www.nhillairshow.com.au.

Ford resurrects special-edition FX4

Reborn Ranger

F

ord Australia has reintroduced the limited-edition FX4 variant to its popular Ranger ute range, with about 1000 examples set to arrive in showrooms in December.

Arriving alongside the updated MY20 Ranger line-up, the FX4 adds a number of unique enhancements that set it apart from the rest of the range.

Based on the XLT 4x4 dual-cab pick-up variant, the Ranger will be priced at about $60,000 plus on-road costs as it slots in between the XLT and Wildtrak grades.

The FX4 enhancements start on the

outside with an Ebony Black front mesh grille, lower valance and mirror caps; darkened LED headlights, black 18-inch alloy wheels, door handles, window surrounds and front guard fenders; and red FX4 decals on the lower front door and tailgate.

At the rear, a black sports bar and a protective bedliner complete the look.

Five exterior hues are available – Shadow Black, Arctic White, True Red, Meteor Grey and Aluminium Metallic.

The special treatment is not limited to the FX4’s interior, with a raft of extra spec added to the cabin.

Enhancements include front sports

bucket seats with leather accents, contrasting Race Red stitching and embossed FX4 logos; leather rear seats with contrast stitching, more Race Red stitching on the gear selector, handbrake cover, instrument panel, centre console and steering wheel; FX4-branded floor mats, and door shoulders finished in Tinted Graphite.

While the previous FX4 only consisted of a single engine option, the new version can be had with two different turbo-diesel powertrains, including the 2.0-litre twin-turbo fourcylinder engine mated to a 10-speed automatic and producing 157kW500Nm.

The other option is the Ranger’s trusty 3.2-litre five-cylinder unit producing 147kW-470Nm, which can be paired with either a six-speed auto or manual transmission.

Official fuel consumption for the 2.0-litre unit is rated at 7.4 litres per 100km, up to 8.4L-100km in the larger powertrain.

Along with the unique features, the FX4 shares the specification of the XLT, such as an 8.0-inch SYNC3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, reversing camera, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian protection, lane-keep assist with lane departure warning, traffic

sign recognition and high-beam assist.

Ford previously released an FX4 variant in early 2017, which was also based on the XLT and commanded a $3500 premium over its donor vehicle.

Through the first seven months of the year, Ford has sold 22,108 examples of the Ranger 4x4, up 1.3 percent over the 21,816 managed over the same period last year.

As a result, the Ranger has bested the Toyota HiLux, 22,033 units, for best-selling 4x4 pick-up, however, the Japanese ute takes the overall sales prize when combined with 4x2 sales.

Four-peat reward for Mazda

M

azda has solidified its status as one of Australia’s best brands for aftersales service with its fourth consecutive win in the JD Power Australia Customer Service Index, CSI, study.

While many of the leading brands underneath Mazda have changed position compared to 2018, all recorded an increase in their respective satisfaction score by an average of 24 points in the study, which ranks the satisfaction levels of new-vehicle customers using a 1000-point scale.

Mazda increased its satisfaction score by 30 points from 789 to 819, well above the industry average of 788 but below its 2017 figure of 835 points.

Meanwhile, Audi has come out on top among the major luxury brands, dethroning Mercedes-Benz which topped the rankings last year.

But in contrast to the mainstream brands, the industry average among the luxury marques dipped from 821 to 798 points.

For the mass-market players, the top two positions remained the same as last year, with Toyota finishing second with a satisfaction score of 799, up 16 points year-on-year.

Honda saw a big rise from eighth in 2018 to finish in third place, with a score increase of 43 points – the

FOUR PLAY: Mazda has topped the JD Power CSI rankings for the fourth year running. second-largest point increase among major brands.

Coming in fourth at 790 points was Hyundai, which moved up one place over 2018 with a 21-point increase.

Subaru, 789, and Ford, 788, claimed fifth and sixth place respectively, with the Japanese brand climbing from seventh place and the Blue Oval seeing a significant rise from 10th place with a 42-point improvement in its satisfaction score.

The first of the manufacturers to finish below the industry average was Nissan, 783, which dropped from third

place to seventh with only a modest four-point increase, while Volkswagen climbed two spots to finish eighth, with the largest score improvement, up 46 points to 781.

The biggest loser from the 2019 results was Suzuki, 777, dropping five positions from fourth to ninth with only a five-point increase, while Holden’s difficulties in the marketplace continued with a four-place drop, with 770 points, to round out the top 10.

Jeep, 769, finished in 11th place, however due to an insufficient sample size in 2018 it could not be compared

year-on-year. Bringing up the rear was Kia, 766, which dropped three places to 12th, and Mitsubishi, 761, which claimed the dubious honour of finishing in last place for the second consecutive year, despite a fourth-place finish in 2017.

In luxury terms, Audi climbed from second place to be the only major luxury brand to finish above the industry average, leading the way with 802 points despite dropping 28 points year-on-year.

Both Mercedes-Benz and BMW finished below the 798-point average,

with Benz recording a score of 796 and BMW remaining third at 790 points.

According to JD Power, factors that had the greatest influence on satisfaction score included being immediately attended to during a service, leaving a customer’s vehicle settings and controls unchanged, informing customers of upcoming service schedules and getting service and repair work right the first time, without having to return to the dealer.

The survey is now in its 10th year, with the 2019 iteration covering 5624 mainstream and 540 luxury car owners who have purchased a vehicle within the past five years and had it serviced during the past 12 months at an authorised OEM service centre.

Customer satisfaction is measured in five key categories – service quality, service initiation, vehicle pick-up, service adviser and service facility.

It also takes into account whether a customer is likely to recommend the particular brand on a scale of zero to 10.

JD Power director and country manager for Australia Bruce Chellingworth said service speed and a trusting relationship with customers were key to positive satisfaction results.

Volkswagen expands V6 range

Previously, the four-cylinder TDI400 Core variant was the only variant in the Amarok range to feature a threepedal option, however, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Australia director Ryan Davies said demand dictated the decision to bring the Australian exclusive to market.

“At every off-road, caravan and camping expo and Big Red Bash concert the team and I attend, we speak with current owners and members of the off-roading community who have begged us to bring an Amarok V6 manual to Australia,” he said.

“It was because of that passion that we were able to mount a case with our head office in Germany to build one, and based on Australia remaining the number-one export market in the world for the V6 Amarok, we are finally able to offer this unique, Aussie-spec ‘Rok.” The six-speed manual option is set to arrive in showrooms in December, employing a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel outputting 165kW – 180kW on overboost – and 500Nm, down 50Nm

NEW ADDITION: Volkswagen has expanded its Amarok V6 range. on automatic variants. Pricing is yet to be released, but the manual Core should come in under the price of the automatic version, which checks in at $52,590 plus on-roads.

Along with the announcement of the manual Core, Volkswagen has also unveiled two new versions powered by the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, the first of which, the Highline Black, now a permanent member

Leading goal-kickers

Eight of the team’s 18 games have been decided by 12 or fewer points, with four of the results in the Saints’ favour and four against.

Five of those games have been decided by less than a kick, most recently a three-point round 17 loss to Southern Mallee Giants.

Coach Luke Fisher said the team’s excellent defence but at-times underwhelming attack had contributed to its spate of nail-biters this season.

“We don’t play high-scoring games and our defence is really good,” he said.

“We’re one of the best teams in terms of points allowed, but our scores are fairly low which means even when we’re in control of a game, the other team is always in it. I think what we need to concentrate on is, when we are in control, putting our foot on the opposition’s throat. Against the Giants in the last quarter we turned the ball over about 10 times in the middle of the ground and got it back inside our 50 but couldn’t score. Scoreboard pressure is bigger than anything.

“Our tendency to keep sides in games means it’s going to be a long finals series for us if we’re winning but leaving other teams in the game.”

The Saints will need to find a way to manufacture more goals if they are to advance in the finals, and plenty of pressure will rest on the shoulders of towering centre half forward Angus Martin. Martin was recruited from Laharum in the Horsham District league as a promising young ruckman and key position player, and while his return of 17

make some noise

Players to watch Angus Martin The key forward has gotten better as the season has gone on, kicking 15 goals from his final six games. Martin was recruited from Horsham District league side Laharum to provide a tall target for the Saints at centre half forward and if he can find his best form in the finals, could help the Saints surprise a few teams.

goals has been good, he has not torn games apart with regularity.

He has looked better as the season has gone on, kicking 15 goals from his final six games, including a bag of five against Nhill, and will need to continue that form in the finals.

Jarred Combe could also add another dimension to the Saints’ forward line in the finals after playing just seven games through injury.

Outside of Martin, the Saints have often relied on their midfielders and half forward flankers to hit the scoreboard.

Fisher has kicked 16 goals and the fleet-footed Sam Jasper has contributed 20, while Sam Breuer has been a livewire when free from under-16 NAB League and Victoria Country commitments.

The midfield is a mix of youth and experience, with the likes of Sam Clyne, Jacob O’Beirne and Ollie Timms feeding off the tap work of veteran ruckman Michael Rowe.

The Saints’ backline is one of the best in the business, with Xander McRae and Andy Devereaux neutralising opposition forwards and younger players such as Will Kennedy helping to supply run and rebound.

With their host of close results and an up-and-down win-loss record, the Saints present something of an enigma for finals opponents.

But Fisher declared his charges were more than capable of making some noise in the finals.

“I think we’re ready to play finals football,” he said.

“It’s been hard because the past couple of weeks haven’t really meant anything to our finals position, but we’re setting ourselves to win every game that we play.”

Sam Jasper The hard-running Saint has been on the scene so long it is often easy to forget he is only in his early 20s. Already a two-time premiership player – and an AFL Victoria Country medal winner as best on ground in one of those flags – Jasper has built a well-deserved reputation as a big-game performer.

Can hit the scoreboard or set up his team-mates in attack.

Michael Rowe The big man in the middle has perhaps not been quite as dominant as he was in 2018, but is still regarded as one of the best ruckmen in the competition. Rowe’s tap work in the ruck sets up the Saints’ midfield superbly.

Andy Devereaux Has played a key role in the Saints’ defence, which is one of the best in the competition. The back six is rarely beaten – allowing only 58 points a game – and Devereaux is a big reason why.

t has been seemingly impossible for Stawell to build any momentum in 2019.

Tom Eckel

Cody Driscoll 46, Tom Eckel 26.

The Warriors, despite comfortably sealing a finals spot with a 10-6 record, are yet to win more than two consecutive games this season.

The side’s inconsistent performances have frustrated coach Damian Joiner, who believes his side is more than capable of taking on the league’s elite.

“It’s been an up-and-down season, but when we’re at our best I think we can mix it with any of the sides in the league for sure,” he said.

“We’ve been a little bit inconsistent and our poorer games have been against good opposition, which probably makes them look worse than what they have been.

“We’re still confident going into every week and no matter who is on the other side of the field, we give ourselves a red-hot chance of winning.”

It is this confidence that could prove vital in the pressure cooker of Wimmera Football League finals.

Despite its inconsistency the side has shown marked improvement

on last year, when it missed the post-season with seven wins and nine losses.

Helping the team turn its form around has been Tom Eckel, a Stawell star who departed last season to try his hand with Glenelg in the South Australian National Football League.

Eckel’s returned presence in the midfield has given the Warriors a shot in the arm.

Another addition for 2019 has been former Portland player Jay Moody.

Moody has experience at VFL level with Geelong and North Ballarat and has been a versatile presence for the Warriors, playing forward, back or in the midfield.

Stawell’s backline has been another strength this season, anchored by two Jacksons – Dark and Taurau.

The dynamic Dark is vital to the team’s structure at centre half back, flying for intercept marks and creating plenty of play while Taurau holds down the full back position.

a red-hot chance Joiner also praised younger members of the team’s defence for stepping up to the plate this season.

“Jack Walker off half back and Paul Summers have taken their games to a whole new level along with Jesse Barber, which is great to see,” he said.

Jamie Bach adds speed on a wing and Naish McRoberts can play off half back or in the midfield.

Sean Mantell – a former Horsham District league best and fairest – could also be another intriguing inclusion to the midfield mix after only playing five games, although he missed the Warriors’ past two contests.

Stawell also boasts one of the best spearheads in the competition, with Cody Driscoll slotting 46 majors to finish atop the league goal-kicking tally.

While Driscoll is the team’s primary avenue to goal, Tom Taurau is another handy target and Eckel has shown a valuable ability to hit the scoreboard with 19 goals this season.

Joiner said while his team had fallen short of a top three berth, it still gave itself every chance of upending higher-ranked sides in the finals.

He said the Warriors were stung by their failure to make the finals last season and used it as motivation.

“We were fairly disappointed with last year, having played finals the year before,” he said.

“This year we didn’t change a great deal, it was just another year into a younger group, and we’ve added a couple of new faces.

“There have been little tweaks around the team structures, but that’s about it.

“It seems like we have improved a lot, but I reckon we have been playing a more team-orientated brand of footy.”

Stawell Warriors

Players to watch Tom Eckel

The former Warriors coach has returned to Stawell after a year in the SANFL playing for Glenelg. A three-time club best and fairest, Eckel did not miss a beat as he slotted straight back into Stawell’s onball brigade. Has produced 26 goals while playing every game this season and should feature prominently in this year’s Toohey Medal count.

Cody Driscoll

Driscoll won the league goal-kicking award with a splendid year for the Warriors. Finishing off the hard work of his team-mates, the powerful full forward is capable of taking a big contested grab. Has kicked four or more goals in eight of his 14 games, including two hauls of six against Horsham Saints and Nhill.

Jay Moody

The bullocking, tattooed Moody has been a great pick-up for the Warriors, playing a variety of positions across the ground. A former VFL player, Moody led Hampden league team Portland with 28 goals last season but has also been deployed in the midfield and across half back for Stawell.

Jackson Dark

The high-flying Dark is one of the keys to Stawell’s stout back six. Capable of taking plenty of intercept marks, Dark also combines well with his team-mates across half back to pinpoint targets coming out of defence.

After two years of utter domination in the Horsham District league following the collapse of the Mallee league, the Giants took a step up into Wimmera competition in 2018.

A grand final berth on debut showed the Giants belonged at the level, but a shaky start to this season had some wondering whether they were capable of emulating last year’s feats.

The Giants went a long way towards dispelling those doubts by finishing with seven wins from their final eight games, with the only loss coming by one point to minor premier Minyip-Murtoa.

Coach Coleman Schache said it had taken a while for the Giants to find their feet after a slight overhaul of their list in the offseason, but they were now showing their full capabilities.

“We lost a few players, but we also picked up a few and have got a couple of young kids developing really well,” he said.

“We’ve put in a lot of hard work and everyone is really excited after securing the double chance. We were aiming to make finals again and now that we’ve done that, we’ll continue working really hard and give it another crack.”

One of the ‘young kids’ Schache has been impressed with is centre Lou White.

The 19-year-old has raised his game after a solid campaign in 2018, and has caught the attention of opponents.

“Lou played senior football last year but has stepped up into the midfield this year and has really taken his footy to the next level,” Schache said.

Southern Mallee Giants

in strong position

Players to watch Lou White One of a handful of Giants to play every game this season, the young centreman has been a model of consistency. Should be in the mix for the team’s best and fairest this season after being named among the team’s best players in all but two games.

“He’s a very important player for us now in the midfield.”

While White provides youthful exuberance in the middle of the ground, he is surrounded by experienced veterans.

Ruckman Reece McNally has plenty of options at his feet, with Schache and big-bodied rover Tyler Lehmann in the thick of the action and the elusive Clint Burdett capable of playing on the ball or across half forward.

The forward line has functioned despite the loss of Brock Orval, with Riley Lehmann proving a handful for opposition defenders at full forward.

Forward pocket Josh Webster gives the team another option, while centre half forward Mitch Gleeson has had a solid year.

The Giants also get plenty from their outside runners, with Sam Weddell, Aiden Yelland, Blake Marshall and Jamie Nield all getting their names on the score sheet at different stages.

Weddell is one of the Giants’ most important players, often sweeping across half back and sending the team into attack with precise ball use.

Sam White has emerged as a strong key position player at centre half back while Riley Cook usually stands the opposition full forward.

With Kai Forsyth and captain Liam Price racing to prove their fitness for the finals, Schache said the side could be strengthened even more as it pursues another grand final tilt.

“We got off to a slow start, but once we got a few games under our belt we’ve gotten better,” he said.

“Having a bye right before the finals can be a good or a bad thing, but we’re approaching it as good and a chance to freshen up and be fully fit for our first final.

“We think we can do really well.”

Sam Weddell Whether on a wing or in the backline, Weddell is the Giants’ main conduit from defence to attack.

A classy ball user, the left-footer is full of run and has produced another typically strong season.

Has also increased his goal-kicking output with eight majors.

Riley Lehmann Lehmann has flown under the radar to an extent after missing five games this season but has been outstanding when available. Averages nearly three goals a game, with 32 from 11 contests, and has carved up Dimboola, Warrack Eagles and MinyipMurtoa with bags of five or more.

Sam White Another consistent performer, White is highly rated by the Giants at centre half back. Has hit a rich vein of form this season and provides leadership for the team’s defence. White has also shown an ability to go forward and kick a goal, finishing with nine for the year.

he driving force behind Ararat’s 2019 campaign has been a determination to prove it is not a flash in the pan.

The Rats surprised many onlookers across the Wimmera Football League last year when they reached a preliminary final, bowing out to eventual premier Horsham.

Coach Shane Fisher said the side had set itself to play deep into the post-season again this year.

“Our whole pre-season and season we have talked about duplication – that’s the word I put out there,” he said.

“I think maybe a lot of teams were a bit surprised we made the prelim last year after we won 11 games in the home and away season.

“We matched that win total which was one of our goals this year.

If you set yourself up for a double chance, you give yourself every chance to hopefully make a prelim or, if not, the big dance, which is everyone’s goal.

“I think Minyip-Murtoa is clearly the team to beat, but you just have to be there on the right day and be in the game.”

Ararat has certainly been in most of its games this season.

Excluding one sound defeats at the hands of the Burras, the Rats’ other four losses have been by an average margin of less than 12 points.

But despite a close rematch with the Burras in round 18, Fisher said his team needed to find an extra gear to succeed in the finals.

“We’re doing a fair bit more extra work, which is important for us to get the best out of ourselves,” he said.

“In the past couple of weeks we’ve improved, which is good because we had a couple of weeks where we dropped off.

“I think it’s that, and maybe the fact we have a little bit more team balance rather than just hoping for one or two of our key footballers to play well every week.

“I don’t think we’re the best team in the comp, but we’ve made massive inroads over the past couple of years and if we continue to

to make inroads do that, I think on our day we can beat anyone. We’re travelling okay – we’ve got a few injuries, but that’s like anyone else going forward.”

Among the injured players are James Laidlaw, who is out for the season, and Tyler Cronin who is battling to be back for finals with a hamstring strain.

Full forward Lachie Hamilton only rejoined the side in round 17 after a severe ankle injury at the start of the season and full back Adam Haslett has been limited to 10 games.

Despite the Rats’ depth being tested, they have, for the most part, responded well.

The team still has a potent midfield mix, with brothers Dan, Nick and Callum Mendes all able to find the ball and use it well to pinpoint Ararat’s forwards.

Tom Mills is enjoying another excellent season, working tirelessly and presenting well at centre half forward to kick 29 goals.

A fully fit Jack Ganley has been a welcome addition after the midfield-forward missed half of 2018, and young Cooper Heard has drawn praise from Fisher after kicking 13 goals on a forward flank.

If Hamilton can find something of his old form after recovering from his ankle injury, he should add a new focal point deep in attack.

At the other end of the ground Dylan Shelley has been a huge addition to the Ararat line-up.

Crossing from Corio after the 2018 season, Shelley is a versatile key position player who is capable of cutting off opposition entries in the backline or swinging forward to kick a goal.

Haslett will hold down another key defensive post, while players like Liam Arnott should provide run off half back.

It is this run which Fisher believes will be key to the Rats’ chances in finals.

“I think our run and ball use have been our strengths,” he said.

“We’ve gotten a lot better with the ball. Even last season I think we turned it over a bit too much.

Ararat Rats

Players to watch Tom Mills

One of the undisputed leaders of the Rats despite his young age, Mills has enjoyed another stellar season in 2019. A hard-working centre half forward, Mills has become more of a focal point in Ararat’s forward line this season in the absence of Lachie Hamilton and has responded with 29 goals.

Dan Mendes

One of three reigning Toohey medallists after a tie at last year’s vote count, Mendes will always draw the attention of Ararat and opposition supporters alike. He has done his chances of repeating as the league’s best and fairest no harm with another laudable season in the middle, finding plenty of the ball and kicking 20 goals while playing every game.

Jack Ganley

Playing on the ball or across half forward, Ganley is always a threat for the Rats. Is hard to keep off the scoreboard, as he has kicked 23 goals this season and features among the team’s best-player list nearly every week. Won back-to-back club best and fairests in 2015 and 2016 and should play a big part in this finals series.

Dylan Shelley

Ararat was ecstatic to pick up Shelley from Corio at the end of 2018 and it is not hard to see why – he has been one of the recruits of the season.

Capable of playing at either end of the ground, Shelley has been used primarily in defence, taking plenty of intercept marks and shutting down opposing forwards.

Burras favourites playing group compared to the couple of grand finals that we lost. It’s a new experience for a lot of people.

“A lot of teams talk about how young their lists are – and that might just be the nature of football in western Victoria nowadays – but I think we’ve managed to blood a lot of players in the 18 and 19-year-old bracket.

“They’ve repaid us in spades; they’ve been fantastic and a lot of them will be playing their first finals games.”

Among the young players lauded by Delahunty were Corey Morgan, Jake Ballagh and Bray Cullinan, none of whom have missed a game this season.

“They bring some of that leg speed we’ve lacked in the past, and their ball handling skills are really impressive,” he said.

“They’ve had a great season individually, but a reason for that is because they’ve been playing the way that I’ve asked in terms of our team approach.”

While the club’s youth movement has brought plenty of enthusiasm to the team, it is some of the veterans who have made the Burras a true premiership contender.

Delahunty and Tim Mackenzie – lured back to the Burras after spending time with SANFL club Glenelg – have a strong presence across half back, intercepting opposition kicks and turning the ball the other way.

fter a litany of near misses followed by a down year in 2018, Minyip-Murtoa finally appears ready to win an elusive Wimmera Football League senior premiership.

Brayden Ison

The Burras claimed the 2019 minor premiership with an undefeated season and stamped themselves as the class of the league with a host of dominant performances.

With the highest scoring offence and the stingiest defence in the league, Minyip-Murtoa is a deserving premiership favourite.

However, in the finals the side will have to contend not only with its opponents, but the weight of expectations of its supporters and its previous September shortfalls.

The Burras were knocked out in a preliminary final in 2015 before consecutive grand final losses in 2016 and 2017 – the first of which was a two-point heartbreaker.

While those losses are still fresh in the memory of many around the club, coach John Delahunty said this year’s team bore little resemblance to that of two years ago.

“I don’t think we really feel too much pressure or expectation,” he said.

“We’ve got a completely different

Minyip-Murtoa Burras

for the flag Jack Boshen is another to return to the club after time away and is a strong oneon-one defender, helping Minyip-Murtoa concede a league-best 47 points a game.

While welcoming old players back into the fold has proven a winning tactic for the Burras, so has recruiting brothers Tim and Ben McIntyre from the KowreeNaracoorte-Tatiara Football League.

Both former league best and fairest winners in the KNTFL, the pair has provided class and skill in the midfield and across half forward.

Co-captain Angus Trethowan adds some grunt around the ball and is a dangerous player when he gets going, while Kade Petering is a wildcard on the wing after returning from nearly two years on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Up forward the Burras have one of the top goal-kickers in the league, Brad Inglis, at centre half forward, with Jae McGrath and Brayden Ison as deep marking targets.

Delahunty said whatever the outcome of this year’s finals series was, the Burras would appreciate the experience.

“There are a few of us who played in those grand final losses two or three years ago, but I think this year’s success has come from having little expectation,” he said.

“The focus has been on the enjoyment of our football and it will continue to be the focus.”

Players to watch Brad Inglis The Burras’ centre half forward presents strongly at the ball and is capable of taking a strong grab.

A hard worker, Inglis finished second in the league with 45 goals from 14 games. He is also adept at setting up his team-mates and is hard to keep out of a game.

Jae McGrath While Inglis plays further up the ground, McGrath is the Burras’ primary threat out of the goal square.

A tall, athletic forward, McGrath has been a focal point for the Burras since crossing from Warrack Eagles in 2017. With 41 goals to his name this year, there will be a strong reliance on him and Inglis to produce in the finals.

Tim Mackenzie Returned to the club after a stint in the SANFL and has been supreme in the back half, cutting off opposition kicks seemingly at will. Will be vital in ensuring the Burras’ league-best defence holds up under finals pressure.

Kade Petering Could provide a bit of X-factor for the Burras with his ball use and run on the outside. Petering was regarded as one of the best wingmen in the league before a knee injury and subsequent surgery kept him out of action for all of 2018 and most of this year. He only returned to the Burras’ senior ranks in round 17 after three games in the reserves, but if he can capture something of his old form, he could be an important inclusion.

Last year Warrack Eagles soared into the finals as one of the favourites after claiming a minor premiership with a 14-2 season.

This season they are, if anything, flying under the radar.

While they Eagles have not hit the same heights as they did during their 2018 campaign, they have quietly cobbled together another solid season and will enter the post-season with nothing to lose.

Co-coach Sarah Spicer said the team had embraced an underdog identity and was determined simply to do its best.

“We’ll go in with a ‘see what happens’ attitude and no pressure,” she said.

“We’re definite underdogs going into the finals being fifth on the ladder. We’re happy with how we’re going, and we have the mindset of ‘who knows what could happen?’ each game.”

Spicer said part of the reason the Eagles had failed to hit the same lofty heights as last season were the departures of two key players.

Tall goalie Meg Werner and speedy midcourter Zandria Malone were offseason losses, leaving the Eagles with a distinct lack of height in the goal ring.

“We’re running with two short goalies in Molly Stewart and Briodi McKenzie, who have done an amazing job,” she said.

“For defenders I guess they give a bit of a different look, because usually there is a tall goalie in most teams. It’s been different for us in how we play, and we’ve had to work around that. Some weeks we’ve been really good, other weeks not so good. If the goals don’t fall in it’s hard for us to get

rebounds. We’re not the same team we were last year, but we’ve had a really good year and really enjoyed it.”

While the departures of Werner and Malone have made it more difficult for the Eagles to win games, Spicer said the experience the changes allowed the club’s younger players to gain was invaluable.

“We’re happy with the development of Molly Stewart who has come in at goal shooter. She’s only 15 and she has had a stellar year,” she said.

“In some games we’ve also had Casey Quick who is in the 17-and-under side play off the bench, and two or three other 17-and-under girls have played in B Grade.

“The future of the club looks great, and sometimes that’s the main thing. If you can’t be at the top of the ladder, if we can be blooding the junior girls up for the future, that’s a massive plus for the club.”

With plenty of experience still left in the side – including Jess Kelly at goal keeper, Emma Koschitzke at wing attack and Spicer herself playing mainly at centre, she said the team remained a chance of upsetting higher-ranked opponents in the finals.

“Even though they’re short in stature, Molly and Briodi are accurate in goals, and if they turn it on, who knows?” she said.

“When we all play well as a team, that’s when we’ve been at our best.

“We can’t rely on one or two players just to play really well and get us a win. With Horsham they’ve got Emma Buwalda and she’s massive for their team. We don’t have a player like that – we all need to play well in order to win.”

Triple threat I

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

n the past two seasons, Horsham Saints have come from fifth place to win a Wimmera Netball Association A Grade flag.

After finishing fourth and winning more games than in their previous two home and away campaigns, a golden path has seemingly been laid towards a premiership three-peat.

The Saints, as has been the case for the past two years, have been inconsistent, but have improved their win-loss record from 8-8 last year to 10-6 this season.

In past seasons, the team’s fortunes have fluctuated based on the availability of sisters Rene and Maggie Caris.

The towering duo are both superb athletes and have been a big force behind the Saints’ charmed finals runs.

But while Maggie is back for this year’s finals series and Rene could be an inclusion pending AFLW football commitments, coach Shannon Cross said it was the team’s other players who had driven its improvement this year.

“This year as compared to other years, without the Caris girls we’ve actually been quite competitive against the top teams,” she said.

“With or without the Caris girls, the strength of our team is there, which is really positive.

“Ash Grace is our captain in the centre and always leads by example.

“She leads the younger players on the court, which is really great.

“We also have Larnie Hobbs, our goal keeper, who was out last year due to a finger injury.

“She’s come back into the A Grade side this year and she’s improved game after game.

“She’s strong and fierce under the ring as a defender and she has really stepped up this year.”

Other regular contributors for the Saints include excellent young goal attack Lavinia Fox and goal defence Elly Barnett, while the return of Maggie Caris has seen Abby Hallam shift from goal shooter to wing defence.

Cross said the increased competitiveness of this year’s side and its higher finish on the ladder than in previous premiership seasons held it in good stead.

“We’ve finished fifth the previous two years and won the premiership from fifth, so our aim this year was to finish in the top five again and ride out the finals as best we can.

“We have put ourselves into third, which is a slightly different position than what we’re used to. A second chance in the finals would have been very handy, but I think the top five is a much closer competition this year.

“Last year we were in fifth position because the other teams were too good for us, but that hasn’t been the case this year.”

Cross said the Saints were under no illusions that achieving a third straight grand final victory would be easy, however.

“I don’t think the other teams will want to let us get through this time around – they’ll be out to get us,” she said.

“We’ll have a bit of a target on our backs.

“We’ll take it one final at a time and hopefully at the end we’ll have a chance to win it again.”

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

rarat started the 2019 Wimmera Netball League season like a house on fire.

After a nail-biting one-goal win against fellow finalist Warrack Eagles in round one, they peeled off a further five wins to stand shoulder to shoulder with Minyip-Murtoa atop the ladder.

But then the losses started creeping in.

The Rats were bludgeoned by more than 30 goals on their home court against Horsham and followed it up with another heavy road loss to the Burras. They recovered with another close win against Warrack Eagles, but further losses to Dimboola, reigning premier Horsham Saints and Horsham in the second half of the season had them in danger of dropping out of the top three before a surprise finalround win against Minyip-Murtoa.

Coach Taylor Mason said the secondhalf slump was a bitter pill to swallow for the injury-afflicted Rats, but with a bit of luck and a clean bill of health she was confident they could still challenge for a premiership.

“Looking at teams like Minyip-Murtoa, Horsham, and Horsham Saints it’s definitely not going to be easy, but I think it’s open for any of the top five teams at this stage,” she said.

“We’re happy with how we’re tracking – we definitely know there is a hard road ahead in the next few weeks, but I think we’re up for the challenge. We have been hit with some injuries, but we should be at full strength for our finals campaign. We’ve had Meagan Shea, Krystal Fisher

and Racquel Scott miss a few games, and they’ve come during our games against strong teams like Minyip-Murtoa, Horsham Saints and Horsham, which isn’t ideal. We’re looking forward to meeting those sides in finals again at full strength.

“I think there were probably only two or three games during the season where we got to play together with our full line-up, so it will be good to see us come back together at the right time.

“It’s a big confidence boost and it’s really exciting.”

The inclusions of Shea, Fisher and Scott will be vital for the Rats’ finals hopes, with Fisher able to hold down either of the two key defensive positions, Shea sliding into goal attack and Scott able to play in the defensive goal ring or through the midcourt.

Mason has spent time at goal shooter this season but plays mostly at goal keeper to accommodate rising young goalie Delaney McLoughlan.

Mason was full of praise for McLoughlan, who she described as a vital player despite her young age.

“Delaney is a junior but has played the season in A Grade and I think at her best she’s almost unbeatable,” she said.

“I haven’t seen a defender beat her when she’s playing her best, so she’ll be a key. Megan Shea in that attack end as well will help get us over the line.”

Mason said the focus of her team would be negating the influence of the strong opposition goalies.

“Shutting down their goalies is the key – Kirby Knight for Minyip-Murtoa and Emma Buwalda for Horsham have a big impact on every game they play, shooting a lot of goals,” she said.

“I think if we can shut them down, it will better our chances of knocking them off.”

WNA Finals Feeling ‘positive’ Proudly brought to you by:

P

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

ositive is a word consistently thrown around at Minyip-Murtoa.

And the Burras have plenty of reason to be positive, with their A Grade netball side missing out on a minor premiership by percentage only after a last-round loss to Ararat.

But the ultimate ‘positive’ – a premiership – is yet to come.

The Burras’ netballers are all too aware of how fickle the promise of regular season success can be.

While they have remained among the Wimmera Netball Association’s elite teams, they have not been able to break through to claim a premiership. They were bundled out in a preliminary in 2015 before back-to-back grand final losses in 2016 and 2017, while last season they were knocked out in straight sets after a top three finish.

Coach Billie Bibby said the team was aware of its history of post-season heartache but did not feel burdened by it.

“I can definitely acknowledge the fact that our football and netball sides have been successful but haven’t been able to break through and win a flag,” she said.

“It’s not a very good feeling at all, but it’s something we’re all aware of. Hopefully from being in finals in both football and netball and going out the way we have, it has taught us a few things. We’ve appeared in finals for the past few years now, so hopefully we’ve learned from our mistakes and can do better this year.”

Bibby said the inclusion of some new faces –

including defence Alex Lang and versatile Ellie McGrath – had helped change the dynamic of the playing group after the departures of key players from last year’s team such as Paula Wiedermann.

But with Kirby Knight and Georgia McLennan in goals, the team has hardly missed a beat.

The Burras have scored an impressive 902 goals this season, with Knight serving as the focal point in attack.

Feeding Knight the ball are the likes of Sheridan Petering and the athletic Hayley Campbell, while Bibby formed an integral part of the midcourt until being sidelined with a knee injury late in the season.

She said her team hoped for better injury luck in the finals after also losing Jessie Elder, achilles, at the start of the season, but said the feeling of positivity would not be suppressed.

“The atmosphere around the club is really good and it’s enjoyable to turn up on a Thursday for training and Saturday for games,” she said.

“All the girls are feeling quite well, and we’ll be tailoring some of the workloads to make sure all our bodies are feeling right.

“I think the reason we’ve gotten this far and the reason we’re on top of the ladder is because everyone has played their role. At the same time, we acknowledge that we’re at the top, but we’re definitely not taking it lightly.

“Everyone that has ended up in the five has got just as much of a shot as we do.

“We know that, and we know we need to work our bums off if we want to make it to the end.”

WNA Finals Benchmark set Proudly brought to you by:

Horsham’s road to the finals Coaches: Mel Scott and Amanda Worthy

F

Round 1: Bye. Round 2: L. 47 lost to Horsham Saints 58. Home.

Round 3: W. 61 d Southern Mallee Gaints 28. Away.

The Demons, perennial Wimmera Netball Association A Grade contenders, have bounced back from a painful one-goal defeat in last year’s grand final with businesslike efficiency.

They have strung together a 14-2 season in which they have set the league benchmarks in both goals and goals allowed and wona minor premiership.

While the minor premiership went to Minyip-Murtoa, the Demons are sitting pretty in second place and give themselves as much of a chance as any of the top five.

Co-coach Mel Scott said the Demons were not relying on last season’s grand final loss to archrival Horsham Saints as motivation – they were simply taking things one game at a time.

“I think this year there is no one outstanding team – it’s going to come down to what happens on the day,” she said.

“While we were terribly disappointed to have had that loss in the grand final, we don’t really focus on that; we have moved forward and are just focused on this year. It’s a different group of players this year and we just focus on what positives we can bring in our game each week.”

Among the inclusions to this year’s team has been a returning Georgia Hiscock, back after a year in Geelong.

Hiscock has been outstanding at goal defence for the Demons, working tirelessly to turn the

or a team as consistently successful as Horsham has been, winning games of netball is all about process.

Faith McKenzie

ball over and shut her opponent out of contests.

Faith McKenzie has filled the goal keeper position alongside Hiscock for most of the season, giving the Demons a young but impressive defensive duo.

At the other end of the court is one of the league’s young stars, Emma Buwalda.

Buwalda is unflappable at goal shooter and rivals Minyip-Murtoa’s Kirby Knight as the association’s most effective target.

Georgie Carberry and Paige Lloyd are back through the midcourt, but the Demons will be sweating on the availability of Liv Jones, who hurt her elbow at training two weeks ago and is under an injury cloud.

Scott said her team was not fazed by its injury struggles and remained confident of a strong finals showing.

“Unfortunately, we’ve had one of those years where we’ve had a lot of injuries, and we’re trying to manage those as best we can coming into finals,” she said.

“One of the key things we’ve worked on this year is our fitness. It has been one of the big challenges for us to be as fit as we physically can be so, come finals time when the pressure is on and the weather gets warmer, we will be able to sustain the intensity required over four quarters.

“I think the fact the team is younger has been positive. But, when I say younger, we’ve got plenty of girls who are in their early 20s but have a lot of experience because they’ve been playing senior netball for a number of years. We’ve been building towards the finals all season and now that we’re here, it’s a completely different game.”

Budding auctioneer ready H

BY LOTTE REITER

orsham auctioneer Will Schilling, 24, might have less than two years’ experience in the industry, but he’s already qualified to compete in a state competition.

Hy dr B aul ON ic U Su S spe nsi on

The Driscoll, McIllree and Dickinson stock agent will be among 10 auctioneers competing in a 2019 Victorian Young Auctioneer Competition at Pakenham’s Victorian Livestock Exchange on September 9.

He secured his position after attending Australian Livestock and Property Agent’s auctioneers training in Echuca in July, where he was selected from 20 competitors.

Mr Schilling, who auctions mutton and lamb at the weekly Horsham Sheep and Lamb Sale, said he started selling about 18 months ago after leaving a seven-year career as a shearer.

Still in the process of building clientele, he said he never would have imagined he’d be competing at the event this early in his career.

“I started at Driscoll, McIllree Dickinson about 20 months ago, and it wasn’t long after I started that I mentioned to my boss I might be interested in having a go at auctioneering,” he said.

“Pakenham wasn’t something I thought I’d be doing when I first

started, but I think you’ve got to be under age 25 to compete, so if I didn’t do it this time, I wouldn’t have another chance. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do”.

Mr Schilling said the 10 competing auctioneers would sell three lots of cattle at the event, with first and second-place sellers progressing to the next stage as state representatives.

He predicted the winning spots to be in close contention after meeting ‘plenty of good auctioneers’ at the Echuca training.

“There were 20 blokes from all across Victoria at Echuca, some who sell dairy cattle, a couple who sell beef cattle every week. There’s a lot of different young blokes from different backgrounds,” he said.

“There were also a couple of pretty experienced auctioneers and a few speech pathologists who taught us things like breathing and how to take care of your voice.”

Though quick to make his mark in the industry, Mr Schilling said transitioning from being a shearer to an auctioneer was a challenge.

“In the shearing industry you are your own boss essentially, you work for yourself five days a week and then go home,” he said.

“But when you start auctioneering at the markets, you’re working for

five to six different fellas. So, I think the biggest thing I’ve learnt and had to adjust to is how to deal with people.

“In this industry you have to go out and call people, express yourself more, and try and build a relationship with your clientele, which I suppose is my main aim at the moment.”

Driscoll, McIllree and Dickinson administration and finance manager Sally Ison said Mr Schilling would be the company’s second young auctioneer to secure a place at the state event.

She said the company prided itself

on developing the skills of young industry members, and Mr Schilling’s quick success would be another great representative.

“Will hasn’t been with us for long, so we are pleased with where he is at the moment,” she said.

“We’re all pretty stoked and pretty proud. He has a real natural auctioneer voice and absolutely loves the industry.

“We’d be over the moon if he were to go all the way. But there are a lot of amazing auctioneers competing, which I think is also great for the industry as a whole.”

Annual conference at Gum San 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

P

erennial Pasture Systems, PPS, independent farmer group will present its 11th Annual PPS Conference at Gum San Chinese Heritage Centre in Ararat on September 11.

The Wednesday conference will start at 8.45am.

The PPS group provides productive and sustainable pasture research and

extension to the region and the annual conference forms a vital part of the group’s calendar.

The theme of this year’s conference is based on risks to farm profitability and called ‘Risk strategies to reap the rewards – Adaptive management to reduce risk’.

Group president Tony Roberts said PPS had lined up a range of quality speakers for the day as well as a visit

to a highly productive PPS member farm.

This year’s seminar speakers include leading consultant Cam Nicholson, looking at the question of adopting change to deal with risk.

Dr Kevin Foster from the University of Western Australia will speak on dealing with risks and opportunities in clover based pastures.

Andrew Whitelaw will look at

feed-supply cost management and Mick Taylor from Meat and Livestock Australia will be presenting on risks to the future of the sheep meat industry.

“Farmers Tom McGuiness from Bigga, NSW and Jason Pymer, Wonwondah, will also put in plain words how they manage risk in their enterprises,” Mr Roberts said.

A farm tour to a PPS member farm

at Great Western will complete the day session.

At the end of the conference there will be a dinner at Chalambar Golf Club in Ararat with Les Gason from farm-machinery company A. F. Gason as guest speaker.

People can book tickets online at www.trybooking.com/BEFID or by contacting project manager Rob Shea on 0438 521 357.

Sheep industry takes steps The Australian sheep industry is taking steps to demonstrate its credentials in sustainable production by developing a whole-of-industry framework.

The Sheep Sustainability Framework will seek to improve transparency and build trust with the Australian community by aligning industry practices and community expectations.

Golden fleece at Marnoo Some of the best examples of Australia’s merino sheep were on display at an inaugural Victorian State Merino Field Day at Marnoo in the Wimmera’s east.

Prize sheep, some of them responsible for producing wool rated among the best in the world, were in the spotlight as 28 Victorian studs presented their animals at the showcase competition.

Marnoo field days have been running for three decades but this year organisers expanded the attraction into statewide championships. People travelled from across the state and beyond to attend the Friday event.

Marnoo Merino Stud Breeders Association organised the field day, which featured thousands of dollars in prizes up for grabs.

Ribbons for a Victorian Champion March Shorn Hogget Ram competition went to Robert Harding from Glendonald Merino Stud at Nhill, first, Norm Weir, Kerrilyn Merino Stud, Dunluce, second, and Clarie McGauchie, Terrick West Stud, Prairie, third.

It will define sustainable sheep production and track annual performance using a series of indicators.

Sheep Producers Australia and Wool Producers Australia, with support from Meat and Livestock Australia and Australian Wool Innovation, are leading the framework’s development.

You grow wool.

We know wool.

We work with you to maximise your returns – from a few bales, right up to the main shearing, through the good times and the tough, because with us, quality counts.

D

s a crusty old reporter of more than 35 years, one can’t help but become a tad cynical.

I have a very healthy lack of respect for many, if not most politicians. Of course, the feeling is mutual.

I’ve been sworn at, belittled, given a lecture on how I’d got it all wrong, laughed at, even told, ‘I feel very sorry for your husband’… the list of condescending behaviour from our supposed champions of democracy goes on.

When former Prime Minister Bob Hawke died recently, everyone said what a great bloke he was.

I’ll never forget in 1989 in the middle of a media scrum when I asked a very pointed question about the pilots’ strike and Mr Hawke’s relationship with Sir Peter Abeles, then owner of Ansett Airlines.

He bent down, pushed right into my face, pointed his finger at me nearly touching my nose and said, ‘You wouldn’t ask such a stupid question if you knew what you were talking about, GIRLIE!’ Not so nice after all.

Back then, the notoriously honest and decent politician was the senior Labor Minister, the late John Button.

I remember asking him some tough questions which he duly answered and, flabbergasted that he didn’t deliver a whole lot of political spin, I reminded him afterwards that it wasn’t compulsory to answer so frankly.

He looked genuinely shocked at the suggestion.

That kind of steadfast, unwavering honesty was also Tim Fischer’s trademark. He had an incredibly strong moral compass.

As deputy Prime Minister, he, like then Prime Minister John Howard, never forgot your name and always treated you with respect.

I was working with ABC TV’s 7.30 Report in 1996 when Martin Bryant slayed 35 people at Port Arthur in Tasmania.

I was assigned to report on the subsequent progun rally at Sale in Gippsland.

Country Today with Libby Price

I stood behind Mr Howard as he stood on the podium to address the crowd.

He was clearly wearing a bullet-proof vest. I have to admit to also feeling unsafe. The crowd was angry and aggressive.

The Howard government had only been in office a couple of months and if it weren’t for the steadfast support of Tim Fischer, the radical gun reforms would not have got through.

He was a man who knew when to stand his ground against the groundswell of protest from his fellow Nationals and many of his constituents.

Mr Fischer was a man of habit and punctuality was an obsession.

I sat next to his wife, Judy, at a lunch function and he insisted on speaking at the exact allotted time even though the main course hadn’t been served. There was no stopping him. She laughed and said, “That’s Tim. Just get on with it.”

He used to ring ABC Regional offices very early in the morning or late at night and leave a news story on the answering machine.

It would be complete with an introduction, then with the countdown ‘three, two, one …’ and the exact 10-second radio grab, then a cheery farewell, ‘God bless’.

I bumped into him just short of 12 months ago when I’d made headlines for all the wrong reasons in a defamation case.

I won’t reveal what he said, but he put his arm around me and gave his very forthright view of the situation. Honest and real: a true gentle man.

Vale Tim Fischer. If only there were more like him.

Wimmera hay workshops Wimmera farmers and advisers will be able to attend hay workshops in the region next month.

Agriculture Victoria and Wimmera Farming Network are running the workshops at Winiam, Wallup, Noradjuha and Navarre.

The workshops will feature fodder expert Colin Peace of Jumbuk Consulting, along with Agriculture Victoria’s seasonal risk agronomists Dale Boyd and Dale Grey.

Agriculture Victoria land management extension officer Heather Drendel said the workshops would give farmers confidence to include hay

as a planned enterprise in their crop rotations.

Mr Boyd will discuss the latest soil moisture measurements for the region and Mr Grey will provide an update on the spring climate forecast.

The workshops will be at Winiam Hall from 2pm to 5pm on September 16; Wallup Hall from 9am to noon and Noradjuha Hall from 2.30pm to 5pm on September 17; and Navarre Recreation Reserve from 9.30am to noon, September 18.

Victoria’s peak farming group is imploring farmers to use extreme care when using quad bikes.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission had found quad bikes caused an average of six emergency-department visits a day in Australia.

“That is an absolutely shocking statistic.

Deaths from quad-bike accidents make the news, but what we don’t know about is the huge number of people, many children, being rushed to hospital every day as a result of quad-bike-related injuries,” he said.

“I am appealing to all farmers to review their quad-bike use. Please only allow adults with helmets and proper training to use quad bikes installed with OPDs. Never allow children to ride on or drive quad bikes. If you’re ready to remove the risk of quad-bike accidents entirely, you can transition to using a safer farm vehicle.

“There are only five weeks left for Victorian farmers to take advantage of a Quad Bike Safety Rebate Scheme.”

Farmers wishing to apply for the $1200 rebate should call the VFF on 1300 882 833 or visit website www.vff.org.au/quadbike before the rebate scheme closes on September 30.

GRDC: Look out for Russian aphid 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

R

esearchers have urged graingrowers to be vigilant in the approaching weeks with the potential of spring and warmer conditions to promote flights of Russian wheat aphid.

Grains Research and Development Corporation has reported that numbers of the pest, RWA, had been minimal so far this season, due largely to low survival rates during a hot and dry 2018-19 summer.

It has warned that higher temperatures in spring might lead to an increase in aphid migration.

But scientists are saying crops older than ‘growth stage 40’ did not appear to be attractive to migrating RWA, therefore colonisation of such advanced crops during spring was unlikely.

Growers and advisers in areas such as the southern Mallee and East Gippsland, as well as NSW’s Riverina, Central West Slopes and Plains and Central Tablelands, have reported rare cases of RWA presence and symptoms, below intervention thresholds, this year.

Entomologists involved in GRDC research projects said an economically significant yield impact was more likely from infestations that occurred before stem elongation, but only if these persisted during the later heading and flowering stages.

South Australian Research and Development Institute, SARDI, entomologist Maarten van Helden said detecting RWA in crops was not difficult because infestations were usually obvious.

“A tell-tale sign is white or purple leaf streaking in cereal crops. And at late tillering and during stem elongation, leaf rolling might occur,” he said.

He said growers should search for aphids by peeling back rolled leaves.

Symptomatic tillers did not always contain aphids and therefore treatment might not be required if the aphids had either moved on or died.

First identified in Australia in 2016, RWA is now present in many cropping areas of SA, Victoria, Tasmania and NSW. The aphid has not been detected in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland.

Authorities expect RWA distribution to move northwards again this year to northern NSW and possibly southern Queensland.

RWA has only been confirmed in Australia in recent years, which means there has been limited research under ‘local’ agro-climatic conditions and farming systems.

In response, a GRDC investment project called ‘Russian wheat aphid risk assessment and regional thresholds’, is investigating regional risks and management tactics.

SARDI is leading the research proj-

ect in partnership with sustainable agriculture research organisation cesar.

Field trials involve a variety of farming systems.

The investment is based on an investigation into how RWA survives between winter cropping seasons.

Scientists consider this knowledge pivotal in determining the risk of infestation and potential damage ahead of each new cropping season, as well as aiding RWA management planning and development of cultural controls.

It is also seeking to determine regional production risks and economic thresholds that will guide growers in effective management.

“When the aphid was introduced into the United States in the 1980s, the Americans developed economic thresholds. We are determining whether those same thresholds are valid in Australia,” Dr van Helden said.

“Current threshold recommendations for chemical control, based on US research, are more than 20 percent

of seedlings infested with aphids up to the start of tillering and 10 percent of tillers infested thereafter.”

Trial sites are in South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and NSW to determine scientifically robust thresholds under varying Australian conditions.

Dr van Helden said trials had so far shown that a considerable amount of RWA population pressure was required before yield loss was incurred.

“Overall, yield loss in our trials has not been as high as expected when aphid numbers have largely been above the overseas threshold,” he said.

“It seems that the overseas thresholds are, at this stage, acceptable for affected Australian grain growing regions.

“Be aware that RWA seems to develop better on stressed plants, so in very dry conditions the risks might be somewhat higher.”

Further information on RWA management is available online at grdc. com.au/rwa-tacticsfuturecontrol.

Authorities are encouraging growers to report occurrences of RWA in known areas of distribution to the GRDC’s PestFacts services at bit. ly/2O3hoBj for south-east cropping areas.

People can report suspected infestations in previously unaffected regions to an Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800 084 881.

’m looking for a better way to farm so my kids can still farm.

That was the message accompanying a picture tweeted by Wimmera farmer Paul Oxbrow that has created healthy discussion.

As part of the message, the photo featured a paddock of wheat, comparing two different rotations side by side.

The rotation involved a cover crop looking better than a crop that had been summer fallowed.

This sparked my interest considering this season has been generally excellent in the area and the trial being what I’d consider in its early days.

Paul Oxbrow remarked in favour of the rotation including the cover crop – • Water infiltration way better.

• Penetrometer goes in further and easier.

• Could be nitrogen-response carryover from last year or more N and other nutrients more available because of the cover crop or 30 months of growing roots.

Given that this is very much an evaluation of two systems for Mr Oxbrow, the positive observations are balanced by the yield and financial side of the equation.

He commented that there was a big difference in canola yield last year due to timing of late frost, resulting in the rotation involving chemical fallow was a better gross margin at this stage.

I’m positive the passionate desire expressed in the tweet, to leave the land in better condition for the next generation, would resonate strongly with every farmer.

Cover crops are a tool that are being used extensively internationally and are gaining interest in Australia in finding a fit, ranging from conventional systems through to regenerative

agriculture. For instance, at last year’s Australian Biological Farming Conference, I found myself talking to croppers, graziers, cane growers, vignerons and orchardists to mention a few – all using cover crops in their systems.

One of the cornerstone varieties in cover cropping is tillage radish.

Heralded for its ability to reduce soil compaction with its aggressive tap root, the attributes of tillage radish don’t end there.

You might think of tillage radish as a tap root with grazing options with its excellent early vigour and provision of quick-grazing and high-quality feed.

The radish tuber is also a big part of the story and is often the part that steals the limelight.

The tuber is very effective at cycling nutrients, feeding soil biology and leaving the topsoil open as it decays.

It is worth noting the tuber does decay quickly.

Whether for grazing, soil health or a combination; going into spring with a good profile of moisture, there is an opportunity to sow something soon to potentially grow out-of-season feed and promote soil health.

So far, we’ve learned about faithfulness, mercy and forgiveness, the importance of following wise counsel, the sacrifice of one life for another because of love, the danger of straying into “The Shadows”.

The story continues…Simba ends up in another place rescued by two “wonderfully unique” new friends, Pumbaa the Warthog and Timon the Meerkat. They teach him, “Hakuna Matata, No Worries”! Reminds me of the Scripture in Matthew 6:34 – Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. In other words, hand your worries over to the Lord, trust Him to care for you and guide you, as He has promised to do; “if you let Him”!

Space doesn’t permit me to re-tell the whole story and ALL the lessons we can learn from this fabulous movie, the Lion King. However, after learning to think and live differently, and enjoy his new friends, Simba still longs for Pride Rock, his family and friends. Eventually, Nala comes looking for Simba and after some convincing he makes the trek home to take his rightful place as the King.

Pumbaa and Timon follow to make sure Simba is safe. Ultimately, the evil Scar is overthrown and Simba is recognized as King.

In closing, it is never too late to turn back to God, to find restoration, deliverance from evil and your Purpose in Life. I hope you have enjoyed our trip to Pride Rock and to the Word of God. Never give up, there is always an answer in the Bible; God is all Powerful.

It’s a “Wrap”, as they say in the movies!

Yanac form ominous T

BY SIMON KING

hree Yanac teams will again go into Wimmera Hockey Association finals this weekend as favourites after finishing the home-andaway season on top of their respective ladders.

They are also in prime position to repeat their 2018 premiership trifecta.

Other teams will be trying to stop them, starting with semi-finals at Nhill’s Davis Park on Saturday.

In open competition, Yanac Tigers take on Warrack Hoops in a second semi-final with a place in the grand final on the line, while Dimboola Burras meet Nhill Rangers in a first semi-final.

The Tigers and Hoops have a long history of tough encounters, having met at least once in most finals series during the past 30 seasons. Although the Tigers have the better record, the Hoops have earned their share of victories.

Despite their unbeaten record so far in 2019, the Tigers have been less dominant, securing wins in the last few minutes of play.

The only games from which the

Tigers did not earn full points this season were against the Hoops.

In the first semi-final, Dimboola Burras hold the statistical advantage over the Rangers in their head-to-head record this season.

The Rangers have been getting closer to the Burras as the season has progressed and if they can put their best team on the field, and play their best hockey, are capable of causing an upset.

But the Burras finals’ experience should see them win a tough

game. Women’s competition features Yanac up against Dimboola Roos in a second semi-final and Nhill Thunderbirds meeting Kaniva in a first semi-final.

Yanac and Dimboola have played off in the previous two women’s grand finals and have won the last eight premierships between them.

The interest will be in which team earns a place in that game first.

In the first semi-final, recent

form suggests Nhill Thunderbirds should earn the right to progress to the preliminary final next week.

Nhill finished comfortably in third place on the ladder while Kaniva only confirmed its place in recent weeks.

In under-16s, Yanac Warriors meet Kaniva Raiders in a second semi-final and Warrack Revengers take on Nhill Leopards in a first semi-final.

Rentsch wins two races Horsham Racing Pigeon Club released more than 600 racing pigeons in three races at the weekend.

Seventeen members entered 429 pigeons in a race from Coombah, NSW, on Saturday.

Released at 8.15am from the Coombah roadhouse, mid-way between Mildura and Broken Hill, the leading pigeons returned to their Horsham lofts in three hours, 48 minutes.

They averaged 110kmh for the 420-kilometres flight – well over the 72kmh average speed when flown unaided by favourable winds.

An 11-23kmh north-north-westerly wind enabled this very fast speed.

In a second race from Coomah, a five-bird special, 10 members entered 36 pigeons, released 30 minutes after the main Coombah race.

The winning pigeon averaged an even faster speed than the winner of the open race.

Bruce Rentsch had his race birds in excellent condition to win both races from Coombah.

His winning pigeon in the open race was 36 seconds ahead of the second-placed pigeon, owned by Terry Brauer.

Rentsch’s winner of the five-bird special averaged 126kmh, or 2098 metres a minute for the 420km flight – four minutes, 37 seconds ahead of Paul and Jayden McPhee’s second-placed bird, with Bill Hartigan’s entry 50 seconds further on to take third.

In a third race for the weekend, 12 members entered 278 pigeons in a race from Mortlake on a southeast line.

The leading pigeon, owned by Denis Smith, averaged 74kmh to win by three minutes, 41 seconds from the second-placed pigeon entered by John Arnott.

Next weekend the club will have one race from Coomah.

Phantoms the team to beat T

BY DAVID BERRY

he combination of Nathan Berry and Paddy Sherry was the difference in Phantoms’ win over Heidelberg in round four of Volleyball Horsham’s A Grade competition.

In his first game for the season Sherry was unstoppable as a middle attacker, hitting his trademark quick attacks for winners, as he combined with setter Berry.

Heidelberg was brave in the loss, the first team to 21 in each of the four sets but failing to seal the deal when it counted most.

Delaney Wills continued her good form, while Tyler Snowden tried everything to stop the rampaging Sherry.

In the second game, ladder leader Shados Inala gave the young Murtoa Lizards a lesson, winning all five sets.

Kara Johnson was at her best, combining well with big hitters Jack Hannan and Jordy Weidemann, while Cleo Baker played her best game for the season, well supported by Laelah Robertson, who shone in defence.

Upsets galore were the order of the day in B Grade, with Murtoa causing the biggest upset when it accounted

for previous ladder leaders Von Steiger Savages.

Bailey Logan and Jarrod Khan were in good form for the Murtoa team, hitting plenty of winners, while the Savages couldn’t mount an effective attack when needed despite the brilliance of Aaron Evans in defence and Brady Hedt on the net.

CHS Group scored its first win of the season, beating second-placed Von Steiger Shadows.

Ash Hopper played consistently for CHS Group, ably supported by high-leaping Doug Grining and the guile of Chris Hopper.

Aaron Leith and Rohan Sanders tried hard for the Shadows.

A young Heidelberg team also scored its first win of the season, digging deep to beat Von Steiger Barbarians.

Missing key hitter Josh Milbourne, up stepped brother Tom, who was in everything for the Heidelberg team.

He was well supported by Ryan Jakobi and Casey Quick.

There is still opportunity for boys and girls interested in playing to get on board in the Monday night junior competition. There are some teams looking for players. Contact info@ volleyballhorsham.com.au for details.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Wimmera River parkrun participants celebrate the event’s first birthday at Horsham’s Sawyer Park at the weekend. More than 150 people walked, jogged or ran the timed fivekilometre course on the day, which is every Saturday from 8am free of charge.

Cass too classy in Stawell’s ironbarks Third in the first race of the Stawell Amateur Athletic Club season and second in the next, Jess Cass waited 17 races before breaking through in the 16-kilometre Life Members Handicap.

“I ran about 2.20 minutes faster this year than last year,” she said.

“That’s what I always set out to do, to run PBs.” Remarkably, her personal best could not have been timelier, given her winning margin over Horsham visitor Graeme Eldridge was just 1.08 minutes, with perennial placegetter Terry Jenkins six seconds further astern.

For the 33-year-old Cass, the 16-kilometre race was a useful warm up for

the 100-kilometre Surf Coast Century relay race from Anglesea on September 21, in which she intends to run a 25-kilometre leg with team-mates.

The club travels to Halls Gap on Saturday for the King of the Mountain on a testing five-kilometre course.

Slick on the hills

Norval sheep-shearer Ian McCready laments the fact that he can’t run as swiftly as he once did.

But that hasn’t stopped him from winning two of the toughest races on the Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club calendar this season.

The reigning King of the Hill after

wins this year and last in the gruelling slog to the top of Ararat’s One Tree Hill, the versatile farmer, taekwondo black-belter and amateur live show performer made mere mounds of the Ararat Hills before scooting to a comfortable win in the eight-kilometre handicap on Sunday.

McCready raced to the timekeepers with 34 seconds to spare from Adrian van Raaphorst, with Paul Fenn rocketing into third place to record fastest time of 29.21 minutes.

The club has a bye this weekend before another tough assignment at Ararat’s McDonald Park on September 8.

District heavyweights square off

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

A

long-awaited rematch between Horsham District netball superpowers Natimuk United and Laharum will headline the second round of finals this weekend.

The Ewes, gunning for a third straight A Grade premiership, will have their hands full against a fit, rested and fired up Laharum.

The Demons have been on the wrong end of some heartbreaking finals losses to Natimuk United in recent years and lost by two goals in their only meeting this season, but are confident in their ability to create an upset.

Both sides have elite talent at either end of the court.

Spectators at Jeparit could be treated to a shootout between two of the competition’s best goal shooters on Saturday, as Laharum’s Caitlin Story and Natimuk United’s Shannon Couch attempt to outdo each other.

Matching up on Story and Couch respectively will be Ewe Casey Vanstan and Demon Rebecca McIntyre.

Twins Maddie and Ema Iredell play key roles for the Demons at either end of the court, with Maddie excelling alongside Story at goal attack and Ema forming an excellent defensive tandem with McIntyre.

The Ewes tend to shuffle their lineup more in attack; Candice Muszkieta

BLOCK: Swifts’ Erin Freeland blocks a pass during Sunday’s elimination final against Edenhope-Apsley. The Saints led wire to wire in a 63-49 win.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER and Alysha Liston are both likely to spend time tangling with Ema Iredell.

The midcourt could be where the game is won and lost, with Michelle Trigg likely to go head-to-head with Laharum recruit Zandria Malone.

There will be plenty riding on the match, with the winner earning another week of rest and passage to the grand final, while the loser will take on the victor of Sunday’s second semi-final between Harrow-Balmoral

and Edenhope-Apsley. The Roos and Saints earned their spot in the semi-final after elimination final victories at the weekend.

But the circumstances of both wins were vastly different.

Harrow-Balmoral was considered a premiership smoky entering the finals but was nearly upset by a determined Kalkee at Stawell’s North Park on Saturday.

The Kees had a two-goal lead at the

2019

Silver Saints

Dinner

first change and a one-goal lead at three-quarter time.

But the experience of the Roos won out in the last quarter as shooter Amy Lewis delivered a sensational 14 goals to help Harrow-Balmoral escape with a 47-38 win.

It capped off a big second half for Lewis, who scored 24 of her 37 goals after the long break after initially being stymied by Kalkee goal keeper Lauren Hotker.

The indefatigable Jenna Bywaters has arguably been the Kees’ best player this year and again led the side at goal attack.

She scored 18 of her team-high 20 goals through the first three quarters but, like fellow goalie Hayley Thomas, was kept quiet in the final stanza as the Roos took control of the match.

The second elimination final between Edenhope-Apsley and Swifts at Kalkee on Sunday was a different story.

The Saints led wire to wire in a 6349 win, spearheaded by goal shooter Ellie Thomas’ 45 goals.

Edenhope-Apsley led by eight goals at quarter time and 10 by half time as, despite the best efforts of Baggies keeper Erin Freeland, Thomas continued to rack up goals.

At the other end of the court Swifts goalies Michaela Armer and Jade Ralph both played good games but were made to work for their goals

by Saints Tyler Atkinson and Alarna Proffit.

Sunday’s meeting between the Saints and Roos should be an interesting one.

Their most recent meeting in round 15 resulted in an 11-goal win to Harrow-Balmoral, but if the Roos get off to a slow start as they did against Kalkee, the Saints have an excellent chance to upset them and advance to a preliminary final.

Rats bite Burras H

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

orsham, not Minyip-Murtoa, will enjoy a week’s rest to begin Wimmera Netball Association finals after the Burras slipped up in the final round of the season on Saturday.

The Burras had led the competition all season and entered round 18 with just one loss to their name but were uncharacteristically flat against a full-strength Rats outfit.

The game was virtually on level pegging at quarter time before Ararat began to wrest control from the Burras in the second term.

The Rats’ defense played out of its skin, keeping imposing Minyip-Murtoa goal shooter Kirby Knight to one of her quietest performances of the season.

Goal keeper Krystal Fisher, goal defence Racquel Scott and wing defence Monique Scott combined beautifully to deny Knight and Minyip-Murtoa goal attack Georgia McLennan easy opportunities.

Jessica Williamson also shone at centre, getting the better of an entertaining battle with Hayley Campbell.

The 56-42 win sealed a top-three berth for Ararat, which would have dropped to fourth with a loss.

Conversely, the Burras will rue missing out on a minor premiership which seemed theirs for the taking for most of the season. The loss saw the team slip to second, with Horsham taking top spot after a 53-30 win against Warrack Eagles.

The Demons were in control from the start, with a stifling defensive performance holding the home side to just six goals in the first quarter.

While Warrack goalies Molly Stewart and Briodi McKenzie showed more life in the second term, the scoreboard damage had already been done.

Horsham’s Faith McKenzie was best on court after a masterful performance at goal keeper, while goal shooter Emma Buwalda performed at her usual high standard.

The Eagles were led by co-coach Sarah Spicer at centre, while the ultra-competitive Jessica Kelly gave her all in a match-up with Buwalda.

The fifth-placed Eagles will make their way to Beulah for a cutthroat elimination final against Horsham Saints on Sunday after the two-time reigning premiers concluded their home-and-away season with a thumping win over Dimboola.

Young Saints goal shooter Maggie Caris was unstoppable in the 83-59 win, hitting 18 shots in the first quarter alone and 54 for the game.

Her partner in goals, Lavinia Fox, was no slouch either, finishing with 29, while Larnie Hobbs played well on Dimboola goal shooter Jenelle Baker.

Goal attack Billie-Jo Barber and centre Rhiannon Butler were Dimboola’s best.

Joining Dimboola on the outside looking in at this year’s finals series will be Stawell and Nhill, which closed their seasons against each other at Davis Park on Saturday.

The match represented a final chance for Nhill to get a win on the board in 2019, but the Warriors were simply too strong in a 65-43 win.

Keeper Rachel Wood kept Nhill’s Sydney Thorogood extremely quiet in the first half, although Thorogood bounced back in the second.

Stawell’s Tarnee Orr used the ball well through the midcourt, setting up goal shooter Ebony Summers for a game-high 40 goals.

Jenna Schneider, 19 goals at goal attack, Thorogood and wing attack Charlotte Foulds were Nhill’s best.

ALL SMILES: Minyip-Murtoa’s Burras Blue team came out on top in the Horsham City Netball Association grand final on Friday. Scores between the Burras and Harrow-Balmoral were level at half time before a strong second half saw the team emerge with a 19-15 win. The premiership team is, from back left, coach Cathie Weidemann, Ruby Wilson, Bella Noonan, Mikaela Wright, Rory Starick, Lily Charity, coach Allyssa Wilson; front, Regan Bell, Lili Wilson and Clare Whyte.

Creek helps write basketball history Horsham’s Mitch Creek helped write a special chapter in Australia’s basketball history at the weekend when he was part of the country’s first ever win against the United States.

Creek and the national team, nicknamed the Boomers, played two exhibition games in Melbourne against the US in the lead-up to the FIBA Basketball World Cup.

Australia was defeated soundly in the first game on Thursday night but bounced back two days later to win 98-94 in front of more than 52,000 spectators at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium.

It was the first time in 31 encounters the Boomers had beaten the US, and snapped a 13-year, 78-game win streak in international games by the visitors.

Creek played about 10 minutes in each of the games, scoring three points with one rebound and one assist in Thursday’s loss and adding two points and two rebounds on Saturday.

The result highlighted Australia’s credentials as a serious medal threat at the world cup in China, which starts on Saturday.

Long-awaited wins lift teams

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

T

he two feel-good stories of the Horsham District football finals will go head to head in a knockout semi-final at Laharum’s Cameron Oval on Sunday.

Traditional rivals Natimuk United and Noradjuha-Quantong won their way through to the semi-final showdown with a pair of stirring elimination final wins at the weekend.

Natimuk United, which beat Jeparit-Rainbow on Saturday, celebrated the first finals win for a Natimuk-based football side since 1997.

Noradjuha-Quantong, which followed up with a win against Swifts on Sunday, made its first finals appearance since 2011 a memorable one.

The Rams took their clash with the Storm by the scruff of the neck early.

With four goals to none in the opening stanza, Natimuk United established a 23-point lead that increased every quarter.

In a battle between the league’s top two goal kickers it was Jaydon Stiles who outgunned Jeparit-Rainbow’s Peter Weir, kicking four goals to Weir’s three.

Weir took several strong marks and could have finished with more goals if not for errant kicking, but Rams coach Sam Anson was pleased with the job

full back Jordan Smith did. “Weir is a good player. He’s a tough man to match up on – he’s a big, strong unit with a great set of hands, but Jordy did a good job on him,” he said.

“Justin Bromley in the ruck had a great game and really battled it out.

“Stiles played well up forward, Taj Payne did well in the back pocket and held his own, and Kyal Murray as well.”

Anson himself was a standout for the Rams, combining with half forwards Mitch Riddell and Alex Ridsdale to hit up Stiles and Greg Hamilton, who tallied seven goals between them.

Brad Hunter, Justin Cozens and Liam Preston played well alongside Weir in the Storm’s losing effort.

The 12.16 (88) to 6.11 (47) final score sent the Natimuk United faithful into raptures after a 22-year wait for a finals victory.

Anson said the win and subsequent celebrations had energised his team, which emerged injury free.

“To see the look on the supporters’ faces and to know that you can have an impact on that feeling is really good,” he said.

“Hopefully there is more of that to come.”

Standing in the way of the Rams is Noradjuha-Quantong, which also gave its supporters plenty to celebrate on Sunday.

GOTCHA: Noradjuha-Quantong’s Tom Cooper tackles Joshua Davis, Swifts, during Sunday’s elimination final. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER In contrast to the Rams, who controlled their match from the start, the Bombers came from behind at three quarter time with a huge last-quarter blitz to win 15.15 (105) to 9.12 (66).

Swifts controlled plenty of the play in the opening term at Kalkee but could not convert it to scoreboard pressure, kicking 2.7 to the Bombers’ 2.1.

Damon Folkes looked the most threatening player on the ground in the first half, roaming across half forward for the Baggies and kicking two goals, although he also missed some makeable set shots.

The game started to open up in the third term and Bombers coach Gareth Hose urged his players to keep

pressing and use their run at the final change.

Hose moved Jason Kerr into the middle and Nathan Byrne forward in the last quarter – a strategy that yielded immediate dividends.

Byrne was superb in the final term, kicking two goals in the team’s eightgoal avalanche.

Cam Bruce, Noradjuha-Quantong’s most consistently dangerous forward, kicked three of his game-high five goals in the quarter, benefitting from the strong work of Kerr, Tom Cooper and captain Dustin Cross in the middle.

Down back, the undersized trio of Nigel Kelly, Zane Batson and Darcy Hogan did extremely well to keep

Swifts’ tall marking targets Matthew Healy and Ben Martin quiet.

The Baggies’ backline competed as well as it could but eventually crumbled under the weight of Noradjuha-Quantong’s forward entries.

Todd Matthews and Jakob Davis were good down back for the Baggies, while ruckman Brett Hargreaves provided a strong presence around the ground and arguably had the better of an entertaining battle with young Bomber Jack Vague.

Hose was ecstatic with the win and said his players were capable of downing Natimuk United this week to reach a preliminary final.

“I’m absolutely over the moon with that win,” he said.

“I had confidence in the boys’ run if we were close at three quarter time; that’s probably been one of our strengths all year.

“Natimuk United had a good win and when you look at the two games between us this year and they’ve been nail biters, both of them.

“We’ve got a bit of a rivalry, and both games this year have been cracking games of footy – I would expect this to be the same.”

Finals on the radar

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

W

hile Ararat was unable to spoil Minyip-Murtoa’s undefeated home and away season, it delivered a timely message to the Wimmera Football League on the eve of finals – the Burras are beatable.

Hosting the Burras at Alexandra Oval on Saturday, the Rats looked as if they might cause a huge final-round upset.

With five scoring shots to two in the first quarter the Burras seemed in control, but Ararat forced its way into the match in the second and third terms.

The Rats arguably had the better of the second quarter but could not exert much scoreboard influence, kicking 1.8 to the Burras’ 2.1.

With goals to full forward Lachie Hamilton, star midfielder Dan Mendes and forward flanker Dylan Woods in the third term, the Rats built a 12-point lead at the final change.

Facing defeat for the first time in 2019, the Burras had their backs to the wall in the last quarter and responded beautifully.

The team’s renowned defensive pressure increased in intensity

and Ararat’s scoring opportunities dried up.

The Burras locked the ball in their forward half and eventually got reward for their efforts.

Co-captain Angus Trethowan got the ball rolling with an important goal and Minyip-Murtoa hit the lead through full forward Jae McGrath with about eight minutes remaining.

McGrath sealed the result with another goal minutes later to cap a memorable 8.11 (59) to 6.14 (50) victory.

Burra midfield-forward Tim McIntyre, who kicked two important goals to keep the side in touch in the first half, was the star of the game, with McGrath, Vincent White and Kade Petering also playing vital roles.

Ararat got great games out of brothers Nick and Dan Mendes, with Liam Arnott providing a good defensive presence and plenty of rebound at half back.

The Rats should draw plenty of confidence from the performance as they prepare to play a qualifying final against Southern Mallee Giants at Murtoa on Saturday.

The winner of the game will meet the Burras in a semi-final at Stawell on September 7.

Meanwhile, an elimination final

on Sunday will pit Stawell against Horsham Saints.

The two sides had contrasting fortunes at the weekend, with the Warriors romping to a 15.17 (107) to 6.10 (46) win against Nhill, while the Saints went down to a fired-up Dimboola 11.11 (77) to 8.9 (57).

Stawell’s win was orchestrated by star onballer Tom Eckel, three goals, while full forward Cody Driscoll did just enough to capture the league goal-kicking crown with two, giving him 46 for the season.

Centre half back Colby Blyth was a standout for Nhill, with Frederick Stephan and Liam Albrecht standing up alongside him in the backline.

Dimboola will join Nhill on the sidelines during the finals series, but ended its season on a high note against the Saints.

Roos Ben Miller, Sam Godden and Matthew Rosier were key players for their side while coach Justin Beugelaar kicked four goals.

Saints coach Luke Fisher said before the game his team would use it as an opportunity to experiment with different setups before the finals, and supporters should not necessarily be too concerned

Spotlight on juniors I

t was a night out for Horsham at the Wimmera Football Leauge and Wimmera Netball Association junior best and fairest awards on Monday.

Demons Dyson Parish and Oscar Miller won top honours in the under-17 and under-14 competitions respectively, while 15-and-under Horsham netballer Grace Manserra also took home a netball best and fairest trophy.

In the 17-and-under netball count it was Ararat’s Racquel Scott who stood head and shoulders above the competition, polling 29 votes to win by eight from Stawell’s Dakota Cosson, with Horsham’s Molly Lakin and Warrack Eagles’ Molly Stewart tied for third with 19 votes.

Parish was similarly dominant in the under-17 football count, finishing the night with 27 votes to win easily from Horsham Saint Will Brennan, 17.

Stawell Warrior Riley Ika rounded out the top three with 16 votes.

Manserra collected the 15-and-under netball award with a 35-vote total that included six best-on-court performances in the first eight rounds.

Next closest was Stawell’s Madi Taylor on 27 votes, with Jenna Schneider from Nhill taking third with 24 votes.

The under-14 football count was the closest of the night, with Miller’s 36 votes good enough to see him win the award ahead of Minyip-Murtoa duo Bailey Mathrick and Oscar Gawith, and Saint Adrianne Lupton – all in a three-way tie for second with 32 votes.

Xavier McLoughlan of Ararat was awarded a third-place trophy with 23 votes.

Warrick Eagles’ Nicola Clyne rode a superb second half of the season to a win in the 13-and-under netball count.

Clyne’s 30 votes saw her win by four from Horsham Saints’ Sophie Taylor, with Dimboola’s Katie Griffiths finishing third with 20 votes.

Lions through T

BY JONATHAN BOX

he first week of Mininera and District Football League finals lived up to expectations with Great Western securing its first senior finals win, a qualifying final, since joining the competition.

The weekend’s action also featured a nailbiter, with Tatyoon just pipping WoorndooMortlake in an elimination final on Sunday.

Great Western will have an opportunity to secure a spot in the grand final this week when it takes on Penshurst in a second semi-final showdown at Ararat’s Alexandra Oval on Saturday.

Penshurst had the week off after finishing on top of the ladder and its mix of experience and youth will be well rested and keen to secure its spot in the grand final.

Players such as Kieran Neeson, Justin Eales and Lachlan Barr are all experienced players and will provide calm head in the heat of finals intensity.

Joining them will be the youth and skill of Aaron Glare, Nathan Rentsch and Campbell Watt.

Throw in the goal-kicking power of Christopher Eales and Ben Hunt and the Bombers present plenty of class all over the ground.

Importantly, they will be keen to get back into the action.

The Lions came out hard with the wind in their win over Lismore-Derrinallum last week, kicking 6.6 to just three points in the first term.

Their opponents were able to reel the margin back in as the day went on, but ended up short as Great Western finished with a 30-point win.

Andrew Cameron was best on the field and his

team will look to him to lead them from the front again this week.

He will team up players such as Lachlan Malloy and Nigel Sibson, along with Aaron McKinnis up forward.

This game is set to be a great battle between two quick and skilled teams.

Tatyoon had a narrow win over WoorndooMortlake last week in a contest that came down the final quarter.

Woorndoo-Mortlake came out firing and led the Hawks all day, up by eight points at the final break.

But it was Tatyoon that found extra legs in the last stanza and ultimately an eight-point win.

Jarrod Blandford and Sean McDougall again performed strongly for the Hawks and kept grinding away all day, with John Foster and Jack Antonio joining them in the best.

They will play another first-semi elimination game this week, against Lismore-Derrinallum at Caramut on Sunday, hoping to keep their season alive.

This is primed to be another nail-biting game, with Demons Beau Ketchen, Lachlan Douglas, Michael Lockyer and Jack Pitts all producing good form at the right end of the season.

In other finals, Great Western plays Lismore-Derrinallum in a reserves second-semi-final on Saturday and SWM Rovers play Penshurst on Sunday.

In under-16.5s, Hawkesdale-McArthur meets Glenthompson-Dunkeld in a second semi-final and Moyston-Willaura plays Tatyoon on Sunday.

Corey Mifsud’s fist denies Noradjuha-Quantong’s Jye Walter from completing a spectacular high mark during a close and intense Horsham District football elimination final at Kalkee. Walter kicked two goals in the Bombers’ comefrom-behind 39-point win over Swifts. The result has set up a semi-final showdown against arch rival Natimuk United at Laharum this weekend.
