WARRNAMBOOL’S Crystal Lee Johnson had a vision of a future where young cancer sufferers and their families had access to all the support services they needed locally.

For three years the courageous teen battled her own fight with a rare form of cancer which, tragically, took her life at the tender age of 19 – just six weeks after graduating from year 12.

The vibrant red-head brought happiness, laughter and light to all that she met and today, four years after her passing, her legacy lives on even stronger and brighter than ever.

Crystal Lee dreamt of a foundation being formed in her honour which would help young people affected by cancer and their families.

Just nine months after her passing, the Crystal Lee Foundation was born thanks to the efforts of her brave and inspirational parents, Jo Sinclair and Trevor Holcombe, and a band of volunteers right across the south west.

The core of the foundation is its mission to support young people, from birth to 24 years, who are faced with a cancer diagnosis – and also to support their families.

The foundation provides specialised bereavement and end-of-life counselling, practical support, memory making projects and activities, and to also enhance community awareness.

It is a not-for-profit community organisation

which receives no government funding, relying solely on the generosity of donations and from funds raised through its Op Shop in Koroit.

“We understand that receiving a cancer diagnosis is an overwhelming and devastating event that places enormous emotional strain on families as they struggle to meet the intense and often competing demands of caring for a loved one while maintaining a home, family and job,” proud mum, Jo Sinclair said.

“This is where we come in. While we cannot change the diagnosis, hopefully we can make it easier to manage.”

Through the foundation, children, young people and families have access to a wide range of support services.

This not only includes counselling but also everything from grocery vouchers and cooking/gardening support through to respite care for mums and dads who need a break, weekends away, as well as funding headstones in cases where the young person is facing end of life.

And the support has no ‘end date’.

“We continue to offer that support, in whatever form a family or child needs, for as long as they require,” foundation executive officer Julienne Clifford said.

“There is no start or end date; we are here for whenever and however long is needed. Our door (and our hearts) are always open.”

The Crystal Lee Foundation Op Shop in Commercial Road, Koroit, provides muchneeded funds to enable the foundation to continue its invaluable work.

The shop is run by Jo and a band of

volunteers who are constantly overwhelmed by the generosity of both donors and customers.

“For some people op shopping is a choice while for others it’s their only option,” Jo said.

“It was important for us to honour the people we support by giving a special shopping experience and many customers are blown away by the fact that the shop looks and feels like a boutique store.”

The op shop is open from 10am Tuesday through to Saturday.

As the foundation continues to offer muchneeded support and services to families across the district, demand is growing – and so too is the need for more volunteers.

“We are currently looking for additional volunteers for our family support service which provides practical and emotional support to young people and their families,” Julienne said.

“We need people over the age of 18 who have empathy, who align with our values and can maintain confidentiality. Giving even a small amount of your time to others can have such big rewards – that may be as simple as sitting down with a cuppa and having a chat, or becoming more involved with the family unit if they wish.”

The Crystal Lee Foundation, while based in Warrnambool, offers its services free of charge right across the western district (no referral needed).

Anyone wanting more information on either the services available to families or information about becoming a volunteer can contact Julienne on 0490 972 076.

Celebrating four decades

SAUSAGES straight off the barbie were on the lunch menu at the Warrnambool police station earlier this week.

Representatives from Neighbourhood Watch Victoria (NHWV) were on hand to cook up a feast for local police members on Monday, recognising and celebrating 40 years of partnership.

The lunch-time visit was part of Neighbourhood Watch’s 40th anniversary regional roadshow.

“Over the past four decades, NHWV and Victoria Police have worked closely together to foster safer communities and provide a sense of security to the residents of Victoria,” NHWV chief executive officer Bambi Gordon said.

“To mark this significant milestone, BankVic is supporting NHWV to visit police stations across Victoria and host a barbecue for local police.”

The visits acknowledge the collaboration of police and community which has played an integral role in ensuring the safety and well-being of all Victorians.

The regional roadshow will provide an opportunity for NHWV and BankVic representatives to personally express their appreciation to the hardworking Victoria Police officers in regional Victoria.

“It will be a moment to acknowledge the collective efforts and achievements in creating safer towns, and an opportunity to enjoy a snag (with or without onions),” Ms Gordon said.

“Our 40th anniversary visits to regional police stations throughout August will also provide the opportunity to encourage the formation of new neighbourhood watch groups.

“We recognise there is a growing regional population, including in many towns, such as Warrnambool where there hasn’t been an active NHW group of recent times.”

Ms Gordon said her group would also be talking to local police about firing up new groups of volunteers as part of VicPol’s Neighbourhood Policing program.

MOTORING

Check your tyre pressure

DESPITE what many may believe, tyre pressure is not determined by the type or size of the tyre.

Instead, it’s dependent upon your vehicle’s load and driving application (including speed).

To find out what your car’s tyre pressure should be, look at the car manufacturers’ tyre placard.

This is usually found in the glove box, fuel filler cap, inside the driver’s door sill or under the bonnet.

The placard should also display the manufacturers’ recommended tyre sizes. When checking your tyre pressure, it is best to do it when the tyre is cold because pressure increases as the tyre warms.

Take the ‘cold’ reading and check it against the recommendations on the placard.

Heavy loads or towing puts extra strain

on your tyres.

If your vehicle is fully loaded with passengers and luggage, the general rule is to add 280kpa (40psi).

Travelling at high speed – 120km/h or more – for over an hour will cause your tyres to wear out twice as fast as when you drive at 70-80 km/h.

And if your tyres are under-inflated by 20 per cent, the life of your tyres can be reduced by around 30 per cent.

Don’t inflate your tyres above 40psi or 280kPa.

When the tyres get hot from driving, the pressure will increase even more.

Checking your tyre pressure not only helps maintain the life of the tyre (which, in turn, will save you money), it can also help with fuel consumption.

By keeping your tyres inflated to their proper levels, you can help maximise your car’s fuel economy

Is your car roadworthy?

TO ensure your next holiday is stress free and relaxing it’s important you take off on your trip away assured your plans are in order and your car is up for the drive.

Especially at school holiday time, our roads are much busier as families take advantage of the chance to take a break.

Plan your route in advance, including rest stops along the way, and take an accurate map with you.

Make sure you have regular stops to ‘break’ the trip.

If you are the driver, ensure you are well rested before you leave and if possible share the driving to avoid fatigue. Take some in-car entertainment for the kids.

Make sure your car is in good condition and ready for the trip ahead.

Check and replenish fuel, water and engine coolant, change the oil, check tyre pressure and wear (don’t forget the spare tyre), make sure your brakes and battery are in good shape, and clean all your car windows to ensure good driving visibility. Get your car serviced before you leave.

It is also a good idea to carry the following items in the car with you:

First aid kit, torch and spare batteries, large container or a two litre bottle of water, small tool kit, jumper leads, rope, tyre pump and tyre pressure gauge. The holidays can provide some wonderful memories for years to come – make sure these aren’t tarnished by avoidable hazards.

Be prepared.

Ensure your vehicle is in the best possible condition before heading off. Preparation now can save valuable time and money later on.

Safe motoring.

Funds allocated for busy intersection

A LONG-awaited upgrade of the Queens Road/Botanic Road intersection at Warrnambool is now one step closer to fruition.

Council this week welcomed the federal government’s $206,000 investment to upgrade the busy intersection – one of 57 projects across Australia to successfully secure funding via the Black Spot program this year.

The upgrade will include a larger roundabout to help slow traffic as well as larger traffic islands, speed cushions, lighting upgrades and sharrows on approaches.

Warrnambool mayor Cr Debbie Arnott said the upgrade was identified as one of the top priorities in the Botanic Precinct Local Area Traffic Management Plan adopted by council last year.

Significant community input was sought in creating the plan, which outlined a range of safety improvements to be considered over the next decade.

“We have four school campuses and a hospital within this precinct so it’s very important to have great traffic management for everyone’s safety,” Cr Arnott said.

“This is a very busy thoroughfare with traffic and with so many school children in the vicinity, this is a wonderful announcement.”

Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Carol Brown and Victorian government Minister for Roads and Road Safety Melissa Horne made the joint announcement last Friday.

“I am thrilled to announce these latest 57 Black Spot projects across Victoria, and thank the local communities for putting them forward for nomination,” Senator Brown said.

“We are continuing to provide $110 million per year under the Black Spot Program to work with state, territory and local governments to improve road safety across Australia.

“We are committed to keeping Australians safe on our roads. These 57 new projects in Victoria will improve safety, benefit our communities and reduce road trauma.” Minister for Roads and Road Safety Melissa Horne applauded the investment.

“We welcome this significant investment as a key part of making sure our roads are safer for all road users. It will allow us to provide key road safety upgrades across our state,” she said.

“The Black Spot Program strongly aligns with Victoria’s road safety strategy and will help us achieve our goal of zero lives lost on Victorian roads by 2050.”

Hospital upgrade on track

THE delivery of a $384 million upgrade of Warrnambool Base Hospital is on track as the new, off-site Regional Logistics Distribution Centre (RLDC) nears completion.

Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas today visited the site of the new facility which will provide laundry services and a modern healthcare supply and logistics warehouse for more than 50 health providers across Western Victoria.

“The state-of-the-art Regional Logistics Distribution Centre will provide crucial healthcare supply and logistics services for more than 50 health providers in Western Victoria,” she said.

“Construction of this new facility brings us a step closer to delivering the massive Warrnambool Base Hospital redevelopment and providing people in south west Victoria with access to the care they need, close to home.”

The relocation of functional services to the new purpose-built facility will free up space on site at Warrnambool Base Hospital for construction of the massive redevelopment, which represents one

of the largest health infrastructure investments in rural Victoria.

The redevelopment will transform services at the hospital, delivering a new multi-storey clinical services tower, a bigger emergency department, an extra 22 inpatient beds, more operating theatres, dedicated areas for pathology services and dialysis and more carparking for staff, patients and visitors.

Western Victoria MP Jacinta Ermacora said the upgrades would build the health service the community deserved.

“Victoria’s western district deserves the best healthcare available, this new facility nearing completion is further progress towards a bigger and better Warrnambool Hospital for our communities,” she said.

“This new Regional Logistics Distribution Centre is a massive addition to our region, helping provide important services to our excellent health providers.”

More than 220 workers, including 12 apprentices and trainees, have completed a combined 35,000 hours of work on the RLDC site, paving the way for the fit-out of the interior to begin.

More than half of the trades and materials used on-site have been sourced locally or regionally with the new facility on track to

be completed in December.

The new building will also include a range of sustainability features, including smart rainwater capture, a solar power system and electric vehicle charging stations.

The Warrnambool Base Hospital redevelopment was expected to be completed in 2027.

Site preparations are on track to start at the hospital later this year.

Warrnambool welcomes Officeworks

IT may have only opened its doors to customers on Wednesday, but Officeworks’ newest store – in the heart of Warrnambool – has already been warmly embraced by the community.

Recognising demand within the growing south west region, the new Warrnambool store is the retailer’s first in the area, its 12th in regional Victoria and its 51st store across the state.

With the previous closest store more than two hours away in Ballarat or Waurn Ponds, the new 1,675 sqm store in Warrnambool features refreshed branding and will provide the local community and surrounds with trusted value on its 40,000+ product range and services that customers know and love.

With everything from stationery, technology and furniture through to selfserve kiosks, click and collect, print and create services, and wheelchair and pram access, this bright blue store promises an easy and exciting shopping experience.

And store business manager Mark Ellis couldn’t be happier.

“We’re all very excited to finally open our doors to Warrnambool,” he said.

“This store has created 32 local jobs,

including several young team members, and we’re all enthusiastic about what the future brings and how we can become embedded in our local community.”

Kick-starting the sense of community connection, Wednesday’s official launch included the presentation of $2000 donations to both Warrnambool College and WDEA Training Works.

On hand to accept the donation, college principal David Clift said he was looking forward to a long and healthy association with the business.

“Our school community is very grateful for this donation and we look forward to an ongoing partnership,” he said.

“With over 1200 students we have been very keen to further develop our indigenous gardens in our school yards and this generous donation will go a long way towards doing that, along with several other projects.”

WDEA Training Works training manager

Nathan Isles also expressed his gratitude to Officeworks, particularly given his organisation was a not-for-profit one.

“Over the years we have generated employment for over 40,000 people and we’re very proud of that and hope to continue to do so well into the future,” he said.

“We have diversified in so many ways since our inception as an employment agency; we now offer so much more to the community.

“This donation will allow us to expand our resources even further and for that we are grateful.”

Those at Wednesday’s official opening were treated to a dance display by young members of the Koko Blokes along with a Welcome to Country from Uncle Rob, elder of Peek Whurrong Lands of the Maar Nation.

Officeworks managing director Sarah Hunter highlighted the store’s sustainability initiatives, including 100 per cent LED lights with low wattage, along with a ‘Bring it Back’ recycling program.

She also emphasised the company’s philosophy of working closely with longterm partner, The Clontarf Foundation, to support young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men in securing meaningful employment opportunities.

“Our team is looking forward to connecting and building relationships within Warrnambool and its surrounding communities, inspiring them to work, learn, create, and connect,” Ms Hunter said.

“We’re excited to be opening this new store in regional Victoria, providing the

community with access to the items they need, at low prices, and making shopping at Officeworks more accessible to more people.”

As part of supporting its local community, Officeworks will host a Community Family Fun Day next Saturday, August 19 from 10am to 1pm.

The day will include free arts and crafts, coffee, face painting and giveaways.

The new store is conveniently located at 65 Raglan Parade and is open 7am-7pm weekdays, 8am-6pm Saturday and 9am6pm Sunday.

Council appoints new director

LUKE Coughlan has joined the team at Warrnambool City Council as its new director of city growth.

Mr Coughlan, who has been acting director in the role over the past eight months, will oversee council functions including strategic and statutory planning, environmental health, economic development and the visitor economy.

“We’re really pleased to appoint Luke to the role,” chief executive officer Andrew Mason said.

“He has done a terrific job as acting director and has a great work ethic. Luke has a background in engineering and land development and is well placed to work with the development sector to ensure that our approval processes produce good outcomes for the community.”

“I’ve been lucky enough to have served in the position for the past eight months and worked in the directorate over the past two years,” Mr Coughlan said.

“Warrnambool is a city which has enjoyed steady growth over an extended period and while this comes with its challenges it also has tremendous opportunities.”

The directorate’s three departments comprise enthusiastic staff who, as a team, provide many years of technical expertise along with new ideas for the future.

Mr Coughlan joined Warrnambool City Council six years ago, initially as a manager within the city infrastructure directorate.

“I’d like to thank the staff in the City Infrastructure and City Growth directorates who have helped me along the way and put the council in a strong position when it comes to managing the growth of the city,” he said.

When not at work he is kept busy with a young family and also “makes up the numbers” in the South Rovers reserves.

“Warrnambool is a really beautiful and liveable city with tremendous natural assets and opportunities for residents,” Mr Coughlan said.

100 reasons to celebrate

CHILDREN at Warrnambool West Primary School looked a little older earlier last week. Foundation students celebrated their first 100 days of learning by dressing as 100 year-olds for the day.

The children were presented with certificates and enjoyed sharing a huge ‘100 days smarter’ cake and treats from school principal, Clare Monk, in front of their families and year 5/6 buddies. Fun games, writing about what they would do if they were 100 years-old and sharing 100 items they found at home during their maths lesson was all part of the day’s celebration.

Spotlight on Port Fairy

Boost for Food Share ROAR

Warrnambool and District Food Share received a welcome boost of more than $5000 worth of food items from the Port Fairy-Belfast Lions Club.

The club’s vice-president Gail MacGregor and Keith Dawson personally delivered the donation.

The food items were gratefully received at a time when the demand for help is growing because of the declining economic climate.

Gail and Keith were given a tour of the Food Share facility by chief executive officer Amanda Hennessy and were most impressed by the outstanding role of this voluntary service. Money for the food share donation from Lions was raised from recent Lions Club activities such as the pre-loved art show and will go a long way towards supporting local families and people in need.

Because of the difficulties experienced with catering, the Lions Club of Port Fairy-Belfast has been varying its meeting between different venues and last week varied again from their usual evening gatherings to a luncheon meeting at the Charles on East Restaurant.

The meeting was well-attended by members and four visitors from the Macarthur Lions Club and fellowship was exceptional.

During the luncheon the club welcomed it newest member, Lion Ross Fry, who was inducted by Lion Andrew Duyvestyn of the Macarthur Club.

Ross was sponsored by his wife Ann.

The variation in monthly dinner meetings has been well accepted by members and has included combined meetings with the Port Fairy Rotary Club and the Koroit Lion Club, certainly conducive to fellowship among people who so well serve their communities.

Port Fairy-Belfast Lions Club’s installation of a liberty swing in the town has created a lot of interest from other areas recognising the tremendous value of the facility for aged and invalided people, especially those wheel-chair bound.

The latest request for information came from a district Lions club.

Liberty swing co-ordinator Lion Keith Dawson is happy to respond to such requests and people visiting Port Fairy are invited to examine the Liberty Swing now established in the Martin’s Point family park.

Liberty swing a hit

PORT Fairy’s ‘liberty swing’ is fast gaining interest from across the district.

The swing, which was installed at Martins Point Park, enables aged and disabled visitors, including those in wheelchairs, to experience the joy and excitement of a ride.

The swing was one of many projects undertaken by members of the Port Fairy-Belfast Lions Club and has become a focal point of conversation among visitors to the area.

“It’s amazing the feedback we have received and the interest it is stirring among other Lions clubs,” Port FairyBelfast Lions Club member Jim Kent said.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a swing like this in every town so that people of all ages and abilities could have some fun?”

The swing was purchased and installed thanks to the generosity of several donors and the fundraising efforts of club members.

Jim Kent and Geoff Hodgskin were thrilled to see two year-old local Lennox Sheehan on the swing. According to Lennox’s mum, Tash Leatham (pictured), the toddler recently fractured a leg and was excited to have the cast off and be able to enjoy the playground. 2023D

Cash boost for events

TWENTY-six events and festivals across the district will share in more than $117,000 in council funding.

Warrnambool City Council has announced the recipients of its 2023/24 festivals and events grants program, which includes 10 brand new events, or events being held in Warrnambool for the first time.

“It’s an exciting mix of events, including arts, culture, sport, music, community, tourism and some fantastic annual events that are staples on the events calendar,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Debbie Arnott said.

“Warrnambool is an events city, and a diverse range of events is a big part of what makes our city a fun and engaging place to live, bringing us together while encouraging tourism.

“Congratulations to all of the successful applicants. You are all playing your part in creating a vibrant, happy community.”

Warrnambool City Council director city growth Luke Coughlan said that council had simplified the way in which groups can apply for funding, with multiple funding streams rolled into the one program.

“By having one source of funding at the start of the financial year, it means we have a better understanding of our events calendar over a longer period of time, and we can assess how it aligns with our overall events strategy – which aims to create a diverse calendar of events throughout the year,” he said.

“For event organisers, it also gives them more surety. Their event might not be until next year, but they know that they have council support secured, so they can plan with more confidence.

“Within this single funding stream, it’s important to have different categories for events that meet different goals. For example, we have our Activate Warrnambool category which provides seed funding for new events in off-peak times.”

For the first time, the program has this year included a separate category for business events and conferences – and the council would like to support more of these events in the coming years.

Of the events to receive funding, both the Warrnambool Showgrounds Reserve (for Rodeo 2023) and Premier Speedway Club (Victorian Speedway sedans title double) each received $10,000.

Gunditjmara Aboriginal Cooperative was allocated $6,800 for its Maar Day Out (subject to change) and Bodyboarding Victoria (Victoria Pro) received $5,850.

Groups to receive $5,000 each included the Australian Light Horse Association (ALHA Parade and Jericho Cup State Challenge), Allansford Football Netball Club (Surf T Surf fun run/walk), Dennington Community Association (Carols by the Merri), Warrnambool Lawn Tennis Club (Warrnambool Lawn Open 2024) and the Warrnambool Multicultural Association (festival).

Primary students say thanks

LAST Friday was an extra special day for school principals across the district.

‘Principal’s Day’ saw Warrnambool West Primary School children celebrate their leader, Clare Monk, and assistant principal Karen Holdsworth, with a surprise afternoon assembly.

They were both ‘crowned’, treated to morning tea and given a jar of written gratitude notes.

A surprise assembly was held in the afternoon.

The principals were crowned, sung to, heard poems read, treated to a video from the F/1 students about the principal’s job requirements and presented with art work from the heart of the students.

National nomination for Solstice

THE neon lights and sculptures that lit up the dark of winter in Warrnambool are now in the running for a national award.

Warrnambool City Council’s Solstice Search Party has been named a national finalist in the Australian Event Awards.

The event, which attracted more than 6000 attendees in June this year, is one of just five national finalists in the Best Small Regional Event category.

Held in the Warrnambool Botanic Gardens, Solstice Search Party featured custom-built neon sculptures, projections and other light-themed installations, attracting visitors to the city during the off-peak period while providing locals with a captivating winter activity.

“Solstice Searching is an excellent example of taking something that is usually seen as a negative – the cold and dark days of winter – and turning it into a positive,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Debbie Arnott said.

“After the success of the first Solstice Search Party in 2022, it was great to be able to build on this and showcase the incredibly

talented local creatives in our region while working with over 20 businesses to deliver the event.

“The council-managed botanic gardens are such a versatile place for events, and it was great to see creative use of the garden’s features, such as the light projections onto the stone bridge and onto the rotunda.”

Cr Arnott said about 20 per cent of people who attended were from postcodes outside of Warrnambool, which was encouraging to see given June was traditionally the city’s offpeak season.

“While the feedback locally for the event was overwhelmingly positive, I think being named a finalist for a national award reinforces just how excellent this year’s Solstice Search Party was,” Cr Arnott said.

“Congratulation to our events team on developing and delivering the event, and a big thank you to the community for supporting it.”

The winner will be determined by a panel of expert judges, with the announcement to be made in September.

Special memories for special people

LOSING a loved one is heart-breaking and being able to hold on to special keepsakes for years to come can be priceless.

A very special collaboration between two local groups, and a handful of talented painters, is enabling grieving families and individuals the opportunity to do just that.

‘Forget Me Not’, or ‘memory boxes,’ hold very special items that will be loved and treasured for years to come.

The boxes are carefully made by members of the Warrnambool Men’s Shed, funded and distributed by the Kiwanis Club of Warrnambool and painted by a small handful of very talented local women who pour their hearts into every brush stroke.

“We currently have about half a dozen painters working on the boxes,” said project instigator and former art teacher, Ros Singleton.

“The idea (for the boxes) came about while I was living in Adelaide a few years ago; there was a group of people who used to meet at the children’s hospital over there and they made memory boxes for families of stillborn babies.

“When we returned to Warrnambool, I spoke with some midwifery staff and they said fortunately there wasn’t a real call for that here but there was for families who had lost older babies or children, and for children who had lost parents.”

And that’s where a collaboration began with Ros and her painting friends, the Kiwanis Club and the local men’s shed.

“We currently have about 80 members meeting three times a week and so far we’ve made about 20 boxes and are now working on another 10 or so,” men’s shed president Phil Pettingill said.

“The boxes are very special keepsakes so we take a great deal of care when making them to ensure they are sturdy and will be long-lasting. We’re all very proud to be involved with this project.”

Sandra Mugavin from the Kiwanis Club of Warrnambool said raising money for the boxes has become a very special project for members.

“These boxes will be available to people not just in Warrnambool but from all over the south west,” she said.

“Anyone who knows of someone who would benefit from one of these, or who would love one themselves to keep treasured momentos safe can call me on 0407 988 292.

“The craftsmanship and the painting of these boxes is just amazing; they really are very special and will no doubt be very much appreciated by the recipients. We (the Kiwanis club) are honoured to be a part of this project.”

Inspirational women

WARRNAMBOOL’S Lady Bay Resort provided the ideal setting for a breakfast meeting celebrating the achievements and contributions of local women.

Business and Professional Women

South West (BPWSW) hosted its 11th annual business breakfast last Tuesday week, drawing over 60 attendees from across the district.

The event provided an engaging platform for networking and insights into the entertainment and media industries following this year’s theme, ‘On Air.’

The morning showcased the remarkable contributions of four local women who shared their journeys and experiences in the industry.

The panellists included music licensing supervisor Ali Kavanagh, freelance video producer Colleen Huson, reporter and stop-motion animator Emily Bissland and Michelle Risk, a paramedic on Channel 9’s ‘Paramedics.’

Those at the breakfast were inspired by

the panellists’ personal experiences and what led them to their career choices.

“It was inspiring to witness the dedication and innovation that these remarkable women bring to their respective roles,” president of BPWSW Kim Kavanagh said.

“Our annual business breakfast serves as a platform to celebrate accomplishments and inspire us to pursue our individual passions.”

The group, which has a strong focus on professional and personal development, has been active in the region since 1996, providing an outlet for local women to meet, network and socialise.

Dinner meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month, with guest speakers presenting on a variety of business and wellbeing topics.

These dinners are generally held in Warrnambool, with occasional visits to other areas in the region.

For more information about the group and its initiatives visit www.bpw.com. au/southwest or email bpwsouthwest@ gmail.com.

by MLA’s

1193 CHANGE 113 more

Mortlake numbers increased in excess of 100 head for a total offering of 1,193 cattle this week. Again the effects of the season was evident with the livestock presented with a good lead and having a fair tail of plainer types on offer. The market presented of good mixture of beef and dairy breeds in the cows with all weights and grades available along with manufacturing types well represented. Feeder interest was sound with much of the beef and trade types purchased by feeder operators. Most of the regular buyer panel was in attendance, however, not all operated on the 237 grown cattle, 400 trade and 540 cows on offer.

The market for grown and trade cattle remained firm to 10c/kg softer. Manufacturing steers remained unchanged selling from 242c to 300c/ kg.

Lamb Yarding: 2850 (+1063) Hamilton agents yarded 2,800 lambs and 230 sheep at todays market representing a slight increase in numbers to the previous week. It was a very good offering of medium and heavy weight lambs with fewer lighter trade and tail end lambs.

The sheep offering consisted of mainly crossbred types covering most weights and grades. Not all the regular buyers were fully active.

Some feeder competition was evident, however store competition was non-existent resulting in lambs to the trade being $10to $15/head softer over most categories.

Top lambs reached $160/head with hoggets selling to $121/head. Sheep competition remained firm to $5/head easier overall. Light 12 to 16kg lamb made from $37 to 92/head. Trade lamb 18 to 22kg sold from $94 to $122/ head with medium lamb to the trade 22 to 26kg making from $125 to $150/head. The best of the trade lamb realized 430 to 530c/kg cwt. Heavy crossbred ewes to $60/head with the handful of Merino wethers topping at $63/head with the general run of good to medium mutton realizing between 160c to 250c/kg cwt.

Tarrone makes table tennis final

STRANGE things can happen in any sporting finals series and the Orford and District Table Tennis is no exception.

After winning just one match for the year, Tarrone is now in the B grade grand final after defeating Glengleeson 6.20.275-3.9.226.

After Glengleeson’s Gareth Spring defeated Tarrone’s Steven Young in the first rubber, Gareth then teamed with Bill Lyons to win the first doubles 9-11, 9-11, 11-9, 11-8 and 11-9 and the score was two rubbers each. Then the rot set in.

Tarrone won the next two singles rubbers before Bill defeated Tarrone’s Peter Johnston.

Tarrone then won the second doubles before David Warhurst won his third rubber for the night, clinching the match for Tarrone.

Apart from the doubles that went to five games, the rest of the night was quick three game rubbers.

All grand final matches will be played at the Orford Hall starting at 7.30pm.

Past and present players are welcome to come and support the teams playing. Presentation night details are yet to be announced.

A grade will see Warrnambool Vikings take on Warrnambool Warriors.

The Vikings are expected to complete the season as premiers and champions.

The closest scoreline during the year has been 8-3 on a number of matches, but no team (including the Warrnambool Warriors) has gotten any closer.

In B grade, Myndarra will face Tarrone. Myndarra have won both matches this season against Tarrone, 8-3 opening night and a very close 6-5 match in round eight - a closer indication of this result maybe.

They go into this grand final as favorites but how the nerves affect the Myndarra youngsters, Ally and Jensen Rowbottom or Nick Bartlett, against the seasoned Tarrone team only the game will decide.

Myndarra’s Aaron Rowbottom has won his three rubbers against Tarrone in the past and is expected to do so again.

Winning both the doubles is crucial to Myndarra winning; if not then one of the youngsters has pressure to win more than a rubber to win the match.

Ally has defeated both Steven Young and Andrew McGrath in the past year but will need to repeat the wins to help get Myndarra over the line.

Tarrone’s David Warhurst holds the key to Tarrone’s success.

He will need to exhort his influence in the doubles matches to counter that of Aaron, hoping to tip both in Tarrone’s favor, his team mates also then have to win a singles each.

Warrnambool Hockey 5s

Tight at the top

WITH just three rounds of the home and away season remaining, the Hampden League ladder is getting tight at the top.

While the Roosters have enjoyed a dominating 2023 season and now sit three games clear on top, just one game separates positions two to five.

Koroit and North Warrnambool currently sit second and third, equal on points with a small percentage between them, while Cobden sits just half a game behind in fourth, with Terang Mortlake rounding up the five two points behind.

A highlight of last weekend’s round 15 matches was the clash between the fourth-placed Cobden and bottom side Portland.

In what could have been the upset of the season, the Bombers snuck home by just three points over the Tigers who are hungry to pick up win number two.

Gardens Oval provided plenty of entertainment last weekend when the Seagulls (currently sitting six points out of the five) hosted North Warrnambool Eagles.

The opening quarter was a strong one for the home side who maintained pressure all over the ground to keep within seven points of the visitors. However, the second term proved a costly one, with the Eagles adding six majors to the board to extend their lead to 37-points going into the main break.

The third and fourth quarters were won by the Seagulls, but the earlier onslaught from the Eagles proved the deciding factor, with the Eagles running home victors by 19 points, 14.9.93 to 11.8.74.

Best for the Eagles were Jarryd Lewis, Bailey Jenkinson, Jackson Grundy, Thomas Batten, Angus Noske and Adam Wines.

Best for Port Fairy were Andrew McMeel, Tyson Macilwain, Jake Bartlett, Oscar Pollock, Segdae Lucardie and Lochie Gunning.

Goal scorers for North were Thomas Batten (4), Charlie McKinnon (3), Dylan Parish (2), Jett Bermingham, Jackson Grundy, Felix Jones, Jye O’Brien and Matthew Wines.

For Port Fairy, Jason Rowan kicked four, Tyson Macilwain and Oscar Pollock kicked two each and singles came from Segdae Lucardie and Isaac Martin.

In other round 15 results, Koroit took the points over Camperdown, the Blues were too strong for Hamilton and South were big winners over Terang Mortlake.

Tomorrow’s round will see Cobden host Port Fairy, Portland will travel to Camperdown, Hamilton will host the Saints, Warrnambool will take on Terang Mortlake and the Roosters will travel to Bushfield to take on the Eagles.

Top five solid

WITH just one round of the home and away season remaining, Warrnambool District’s top five seems set.

Merrivale leads the pack and is three games clear of second-placed Nirranda, followed by Panmure two games behind.

Kolora Noorat and Russells Creek are both four points behind the dogs, with just percentage separating the two.

The results of this weekend’s matches will decide who finishes fourth and fifth, with the Power set to take on the sixth-placed Allansford while Russells Creek will meet Merrivale.

Round 17 last weekend saw Nirranda exert its dominance over Kolora Noorat with a convincing 39-point win at the Noorat Recreation Reserve.

The opening quarter saw the visitors post 3.4 while containing the home side to one major and three behinds, however the Power won the second quarter to get within nine points by the main break.

The third term was a low-scoring affair, with Nirranda adding two goals

one while the Power could only manage a point. Similarly, the last term saw Nirranda come home with another three majors while the home side struggled on the board, adding just two behinds.

Final scores were Nirranda 9.10.64 to Kolora Noorat 3.7.25.

Best for Nirranda were Brayden Harkness, Jack Primmer, John Paulin, Danny Craven, Jackson Couch and James Willsher.

Primmer kicked four goals for the victors, while team-mate Couch added three and Mathew Lloyd and Paulin contributed one each Other round 17 results saw Merrivale the big winners over Dennington, South Rovers defeated Timboon, Russells Creek got the points over Allansford and Panmure were big winners over Old Collegians.

Tomorrow (Saturday) will see South at home to Dennington, the Demons will travel to Panmure, Nirranda will host Old Collegians, Allansford will be home to the Power and Russells Creek will travel to Merrivale.
