LEFT:The Lions Trauma Bear (or ‘Care Bear’ as often called) is often used by emergency services to help reduce trauma in children.

CLUB bannerettes have always been a feature of Lions clubs world- wide, each designed by its individual club and incorporating some prominent feature and landmark of their particular area.

The district extends from the nearer western city suburbs through to the South Australian border, and as far north as Skipton, Hamilton, Horsham, Ararat, Casterton and Kaniva.

This district – which encompasses your local clubs – is well known for its continued involvement in far-reaching and community benefitting activities.

This includes health and welfare, youth and disaster response.

And the district has been well-supported by your local Lions club which has been at the forefront in many innovative and successful activities.

This includes a trip by Macarthur Lion Andrew Duyvestyn who drove a stage coach from Macarthur to Melbourne.

This coach was supported by Lions clubs along the way who raised many thousands of dollars to purchase vital equipment for The Royal Childrens Hospital.

They are exchanged between clubs when visiting or visited and many clubs have quite impressive displays or national and international bannerettes to promote the togetherness in service and fellowship of Lions clubs.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor

As the state’s environmental authority, EPA Victoria recently offered home gardeners a free soil testing service as part of a research project designed to map soil conditions across the state.

More than 2000 gardeners have taken up the offer but most are in Melbourne, so I’m encouraging everyone who enjoys gardening in country Victoria to consider sending in soil samples from their garden.

They’ll be helping EPA’s science-based

However, the growing difficulties in procurement and cost of bannerettes has led to many clubs now favouring club pins (badges) to the traditional flags, which has not only continued in identifying a club and promoting its area but has resulted in a rapid growth of pin collectors worldwide.

Port Fairy-Belfast Lions Club recently introduced its own unique pin designed by local member Lion Geoff McCue.

The pin is in the shape of a shamrock leaf, representing the area’s Irish history as well as featuring the Lions club emblem, the town’s iconic lighthouse, and a whale.

Port Fairy began as a whaling station and visiting whales still find the shallow, sandybottomed Port Fairy Bay as the ideal location for scraping barnacles from their stomachs.

Although only recently introduced, Port Fairy-Belfast Lions pins have already found their way to England and the United States.

And have you met a Lion’s trauma bear – or Care Bear as they are often called?

For quite a number of years Lions clubs have been donating their unique bears to emergency services such as Police and ambulances as a tool to help reduce trauma in particularly children as a result of domestic violence or accidence, and as a calming additive for children when being transported by ambulance or helicopter.

Experienced emergency personnel have commented on how the bears reduce anxiety and distress, including occasionally in adults, in traumatic situations.

The only cost to the gardener is the postage.

safety

KEEPING children and teens safe in today’s ever-advancing cyber world has become a fulltime job, and a great concern, for Warrnambool’s youth resource officers.

Leading senior constables John Keats and Brooke Pollock spend their days educating children and teenagers across the western district about how to stay safe on the web.

While today’s technological advances allow tech-savvy (and those not so techsavvy) the opportunity to tap into a world of games, challenges and conversation, it can also pose a serious risk to users’ safety and well-being.

“While the internet can certainly offer a world of opportunities for us all and can be a very exciting and good space, it also has it’s dark side and that is something that should concern us all,” Ldg Snr Const Keats said.

“Parents need to be vigilant. They need to be aware of what sites their children are on, who they are communicating with and how they are behaving.

“Cyber safety begins at home and we are encouraging all parents and guardians to take an active interest in how their children are using the internet.”

With incidents of cyber bullying and sextortion becoming more and more prevalent there is a heightened need for vigilance and prevention.

“Sadly, cyber bullying and sextortion (demanding money from people who have shared a nude image of themselves on the internet) is on the rise and we’re seeing

more and more cases of this every week,” Ldg Snr Const Keats said.

“We spend our days holding cyber safety sessions in schools and we welcome parents and guardians to take part because they really do play a big role in helping to keep our children safe.”

The youth resource officers at Warrnambool police believe parents are the ‘missing link’ when it comes to cyber safety for some of our youngest residents.

“Children and young teens need guidance, they need responsible role models and they need discipline and rules when it comes to internet use,” Ldg Snr Const Keats said.

“Bullying is not okay in any shape or form; cyber bullying is heightened because the sender has no idea how his or her message will be received by the recipient as they can’t see their reaction to the message in person.”

Cyber bullying in schools has reached alarming levels, with children as young as eight being subjected to on-line taunts and harassment.

“All too often we see adults posing as children on-line; they befriend a child, entice them to send a nude on the promise to get them to the next level in a game or manipulate them in other ways,” Ldg Snr Const Keats said.

“They then say they’ll tell their friends or family about the photo if they don’t send money or a gift card; something along those lines.”

Through the cyber safety program in schools, the youth resource team encourages children to not only be aware of the dangers but to also speak out if they feel

uncomfortable or sense that “something isn’t right.”

“We encourage children to make good choices, to not bully or harass others and to always speak to an adult if they’re being bullied,’ Ldg Snr Const Keats said.

“The cyber world can be a good place but we all need to work harder to keep everyone safe.”

During the school visits, discussions centre around the simple strategies that students can use to help keep themselves, their friends and family members ‘cyber safe.’

This includes: block unwanted players/ comments, tell a trusted adult when they have an issue, only play/connect with people they know, be role models online, don’t share or store inappropriate images online, and online bullying is against the law.

They also spread the CYBER acronym relating to how to stay safe online:

C – communicate (tell a trusted adult when something isn’t right)

Y – you (it’s your cyber world, don’t let it control you)

B – balance (balance in life, sleep, exercise, good nutrition, other hobbies)

E – education (keep your cyber knowledge up-to-date)

R – respect (yourself and others)

R – reputation (your online activity can become what people think of you)

R – resume (your online activity leaves a digital footprint that can be seen by everyone).

The youth resource team at Warrnambool police station is always happy to visit schools to spread the cyber safety message, and encourages parents and guardians to also get on board.

Young people and their parents can also get online to learn more about safety; visit www.esafety.gov.au

MP weary of

SOUTH West Coast MP Roma Britnell has raised concerns new legislation will not adequately address energy price rises experienced across the region, including some Terang residents reporting increases of over 80 per cent to their gas bill.

Speaking in Parliament on the second reading of the Energy Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 last week, Ms Britnell flagged concerns the state government was “spinning its wheels” while the Terang community is slugged with soaring costs.

The Victorian Government recently announced gas connections to new homes and government buildings would be banned from January 2024.

The opposition has largely supported the decision but labelled the move as an ad hoc approach to energy transition which could drive up prices further.

Ms Britnell said rising energy costs was having a significant impact on constituents, with one pensioner having contacted her to express concern he had faced an energy costs increase of almost 700 per cent since retiring in 2000.

“There are levers that the government can use, and despite all the years they have had what we have got is a cost-of-living crisis, and energy sits along with groceries at the forefront of that,” she said.

Ms Britnell said a number of people in Terang had contacted her to say they had experienced increases in their gas bills of over 80 per cent.

“Terang only has one provider, so they have no way to keep their energy costs down,” she said. “They just cannot do it.

“The people who took the gas to the township of Terang did it in good faith, but unfortunately, and I am not standing up for big corporates, there has

not been the regulation or the environment put in place by the government that does need to be put in place to make sure that these sorts of exorbitant cost rises do not take place.”

The bill will add decision-making criteria to the Victorian legislation in the event the Minister for Energy and Resources triggers the retailer reliability obligation (RRO), which requires energy retailers to demonstrate they have sufficient contracts to meet capacity during peak system demand ahead of forecast gaps in energy availability.

Ms Britnell said it was important to have regulation and framework but questioned what specific mechanism would incentivise investment and assured capacity from large retailers.

“Unfortunately, that is outside the parameters of this bill, but for me I think that we have just gone and raced towards a future that takes away reliability and affordability,” she said.

“And when you have been in nursing like I have, you have had people say to you, “I’m not putting the heater on in winter because I’m just too frightened of the power bill”.

“I have actually been in situations where many, in fact probably numerous, clients have ended up in hospital with a chest infection which has then become pneumonia because of the cold of the winter.

“There are real consequences when people are so worried about the cost of living.”

Ms Britnell said she was supportive of the legislation but questioned how the state would transition to reliable, affordable energy while removing other options without creating an energy crisis.

She called on the government to get a “wriggle on” with implementing appropriate legislation to address issues, such as energy costs, which are worsening cost-of-living.

“There will be gaps in the market, and we will see that, more than likely. I think we went very close last winter, from what the experts who talk to me about this said,” she said.

“The people I referred to that I came across in my community nursing days that were too frightened to turn on the heater – that is only going to get worse.

“I think that is sometimes making a fool of our community rather than actually achieving affordable, reliable power and being responsible governors of the state.

“I look forward to legislation that comes to the Parliament that does actually address the cost-ofliving crisis rather than just fluff around the edges.”

Daffodil day ~ Thursday, August 31, 2023

Brave mum spreads awareness

WARRNAMBOOL mother of two, Susannah Gleeson, is an inspiration to all who have the pleasure of meeting her.

The 43-year-old, who was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in 2020, has ridden the emotional roller-coaster which often comes with a diagnosis – a ride she continues on with the help of her loving family and friends.

“It has certainly been a journey (since diagnosis),” Susannah said.

“My partner Isaac and I have two children, Ava who is 11, and five year-old Jack, but Jack was only two when I was diagnosed.

“And COVID was also running rampant back then so that just added another layer to the battle because it meant I was alone in hospital as no visitors were allowed.”

But in true Aussie spirit, Susannah decided she had no option but to “soldier on” and go through the treatments available.

And fortunately she could undergo them all in Warrnambool thanks to the cancer centre in the city and all the specialists who were available for appointments.

“I remember back in 2020 I was having a shower when I discovered a lump in my breast. I made an appointment with my doctor and was diagnosed with breast cancer soon afterwards,” Susannah said.

“I hadn’t been unwell but in hindsight I had been extremely tired but at the time I just put that down to Jack not sleeping well.”

Following her diagnosis, Susannah started months of chemotherapy which was then followed by surgery, radiation treatment and then, later that same year, reconstructive surgery.

The breast cancer had also spread to her lymph nodes

under her arm and was attached to the skin.

“When someone is diagnosed with cancer (of any form) it’s not just that individual who goes through the journey, it’s also their family, friends and other loved ones,” Susannah said.

Sometimes the focus is on the patient but it also should be on their family. My partner, kids, parents, everyone around us was affected in some way – even my work colleagues at Emmanual College.”

Susannah said she would be forever grateful, not only to the treating physicians, but also to those who rallied around her family and offered their love, support, meals and other help.

“I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful support network and I’ll never know how to repay everyone for all that they did, not just for me but for Isaac and our kids; we’ll be forever grateful.”

Now in remission and slowly regaining her strength, Susannah has returned to teaching three days a week and does all that she can to promote the work of the Cancer Council through Relay for Life and the upcoming annual Daffodil Day.

“I do still get tired and don’t have the energy levels I once did but I’m thrilled to be back teaching and I’m hoping my energy will build with time,” she said.

Susannah took part in last year’s Relay for Life and is already working on building a team for the 2024 event, to be held in Warrnambool on February 17.

“People can register now and start building teams for next year’s event. It’s a great way to raise cancer awareness and to raise some much-needed funds towards cancer research – and having been touched by the disease I’ll do all that I can to raise as much as possible,” she said.

Susannah and her mum travelled to Melbourne last

weekend to take part in the ‘Field of Women’ at the MCG.

Thousands gathered in pink to form the shape of a woman in the centre of the MCG.

“It was actually a very emotional day for mum and I,” Susannah said.

“At one stage we were asked to raise our hands if we’d had breast cancer. I looked around and it seemed at least half the people there had their hands up; and that was quite sad.”

Figures show in Australia, 27 people a day get diagnosed with breast cancer alone.

Next Thursday, August 31, is Cancer Council Daffodil Day and the slogan for this year is ‘For all that cancer takes, give it your all.’

“The treatment that I have received is no doubt very different to that of patients 10 years ago and that’s all thanks to cancer research and advances in treatments. I’ll do all I can to raise money because I’m just so thankful for all the help I’ve received.”

With an average of 1219 people diagnosed with cancer in Warrnambool each year, chances are most people living in the community have been touched by cancer.

“Cancer takes so muchfrom all of us. It takes from our friends, neighbours, colleagues, and our family,” Cancer Council Victoria’s head of fundraising Lyrian Fleming-Parsley said.

“By giving this Daffodil Day, we can help stop cancer from taking so much. We can give for all the people who’ve been affected by a cancer diagnosis, whether that’s you, or someone close to you. Giving, that’s what Daffodil Day is all about.”

Daffodil Day is all about raising vital funds for Cancer Council’s life-saving cancer research.

“In 2020, Cancer Council and its research partners directed over $54 million to research grants for vital research projects across Australia, but more

is desperately needed,” Ms Fleming-Parsley said.

Over 49,000 Australians died from cancer in 2019 but thanks to investment in research, amazing advancements have been made in cancer prevention, screening, and treatment, which has helped increase survival rates from 51 per cent in the late 1980s to around 70 per cent.

“Every person who donates or buys daffodils on August 31 will be helping us to continue investing in life-saving cancer research programs,” Ms Fleming-Parsley said.

This year marks 37 years of Daffodil Day, and this year Victorians are encouraged to give it their all.

All donations and funds raised through Daffodil Day will directly fund cancer research projects across Australia, helping save lives and bringing us closer to a cancer-free future.

You can support Daffodil Day by donating or buying daffodils at www.daffodilday.com.au or phone 1300 65 65 85, or by hosting a fundraiser.

Emerging curators on show

TWO upcoming exhibitions

‘Cyber Culture’ and

‘Resting

Place - Stories of Deen Maar’ will showcase the journeys of two young local artists as they step into the role of curators.

The curators, under the guidance of experienced artists, have been learning the processes required to launch an exhibition thanks to the Moyne Virtual Gallery (MVG) Emerging Curators development program.

Amelia Bell has been mentored by cultural artist and arts practitioner Sherry Johnstone while Rose Owen has been mentored by the Hamilton Art Gallery.

Both exhibitions can be viewed in the Moyne Virtual Gallery online at mvg. art from August 27 to October 27 and a special preview event is planned for Koroit Theatre.

The preview event will run from Friday, September 8 to Sunday, September 10, featuring free digital art and Indigenous art workshops across the weekend.

Step into Wonderland

A GROUP of talented Deakin University students will take audiences on a fun and magical trip through Wonderland this weekend.

The Deakin Residential Musicals have become an important part of the student experience at Deakin Warrnambool. Bringing together residents who all share a love of music, dance and theatrical production, the university is excited to

bring its version of Alice In Wonderland to the stage.

Auditioning and casting began in February, bringing together domestic and international residents who all share a love of music, dance and theatrical production.

Residents who are not part of the show support the cast as backstage crew, costume and set designers, ushers, bar staff and waiters and are crucial to the ever-evolving production.

The university is fortunate to have the support of the Merri River School and Brauer Secondary College who donate stage sets and costumes.

It is also grateful to sound and light technician Brad Tanner who gives up his time each year to support the show.

Alice in Wonderland can be seen at G101 Deakin University tonight (Friday) and tomorrow night.

Doors will open at 6pm, with the show set to start at 7pm.

Tickets are available at the door or by calling Deakin Residential Services reception on 5563 3111.

A pop-up bar will open at 7pm, with catering by Red Cross volunteers. This is a family-friendly event.

Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster said the exhibitions would be a fantastic opportunity to see the creativity of local artists.

“We have such talented creators of all types in south west Victoria and it’s fantastic to be able to support them and showcase their talents through programs like this,” she said.

“I can’t wait to hear what Amelia and Rose have learnt through the Emerging Creators program and look forward to seeing how they have put those skills to the test in creating these exhibitions.”

‘Cyber Culture’, curated by Rose Owen, responds to the complexities of living in a digital era, inviting viewers to contemplate the influence of the internet on their day to day lives.

New artworks from eight young local artists are featured.

‘Resting Place - Stories of Deen Maar’, curated by Amelia Bell from Gunditjmara Country, features new artworks from seven local First Nations artists touching on ancient Aboriginal belief systems, coastal wonders and spiritual journeys related to Deen Maar Island.

More details and workshop booking forms can be found at www.moyne. vic.gov.au/Our-Community/Youth/ Emerging-Curators-DevelopmentProgram.

The MVG Emerging Curators Development Program has been supported by the VicHealth Jumpstart Fund.

Deakin University students will take to the stage this weekend for a special ‘Alice in Wonderland’ production. 2023E

DOWN DANDIRTY in the Garden IRT

The perfect time to get planting

WITH the sun shining and more daylight hours, now is the perfect time to get your hands dirty and enjoy some fresh air.

With spring set to start next week we can already feel a subtle hint of the promise of better weather just around the corner.

Spring is the perfect time to start planting fruit trees, vegetables, herbs and flowers.

For many gardeners of all ages there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a garden full of colour, or a veggie patch bursting with tasty, fresh produce the whole family can enjoy.

What you can and cannot grow successfully depends on both the condition of your soil and the climate where you live.

Before you undertake any new planting, make sure you prepare your soil by digging in some manure and

compost so your plants have the nutrients they need to grow – and make sure the soil is well watered.

Adding a layer of mulch after planting is an effective means of ensuring the moisture in the soil is retained.

Some of the best spring colours to add to gardens in Australia’s southern states are petunias, marigolds, geraniums and snapdragons.

In most of Victoria, where there are low temperatures for long periods of time, the best herbs to grow include thyme, sage, mint, oregano, parsley, coriander, chives and basil.

When deciding which fruits and vegetables to plant, suggestions include strawberries, cucumber, turnips, swedes, lettuce, peas,

silverbeet, beetroot and sweet corn. Tomatoes, spinach, radishes, onions, leeks and parsnip also grow well in colder climates.

Some areas of Victoria are also prone to occasional winter frosts. Here, blueberries, passionfruit, paw paw, citrus, spring onion, leeks, carrots and radishes also tend to grow well.

And for those who love to grow their own herbs, the likes of chives, parsley, rosemary, oregano and sage can also be planted in early spring.

With the onset of spring comes endless opportunities to get out in the garden, add some colour and enjoy the health benefits that being in the great outdoors can also bring.

Gardening tips for Spring

WITH Spring just around the corner, now is the time to get out in the garden.

As the days start to get longer and the cold winter chill becomes a distant memory, gardens start to burst into life.

Now is the perfect time to get your grass going, get out the garden fork and start to aerate your lawn.

In early Spring, apply a weed killer to remove broadleaf weeds and follow this up a few weeks later with some quality lawn fertiliser to keep the grass growing strong and prevent new weeds coming through.

Early Spring is also the perfect time to prune trees and shrubs and to clear your garden and lawns of the withered leaves of winter.

Trim hedges to encourage new growth and if you haven’t already found time to do it, summer flowering shrubs should also be trimmed now.

Spring is the perfect time to plant almost anything so head down to your local nursery and have a browse.

Talk to the experts and see what would best suit your soil and weather conditions.

While the soil moisture is still high, new plants can become established before the heat starts to set-in.

Before the growing season sets in, just about everything in your garden will appreciate and thrive from a good dose of fertiliser.

Blood and bone is perfect for Australian natives, just throw a handful over every four square metres.

If you have a veggie patch, or are in the process of establishing one, dig some compost and manure through the soil and add some soluble fertiliser to any veggies already planted.

Potted plants around home will thrive with some liquid fertiliser and a dose of slow release fertiliser to keep them thriving during spring and summer.

As the weather warms up, aphids become active in veggie patches and on roses so make sure you apply a garden insecticide to keep them under control.

Ladies swap gumboots for heels

MORE than 300 south west dairy farming women swapped gumboots for shoes for a special day out late last week.

The women enjoyed a sold-out annual ladies’ luncheon in Warrnambool on Thursday, hosted by the South West Ladies Luncheon Committee with support from WestVic Dairy.

The event is the largest in the region for women in dairy and provides an opportunity for those in the industry to connect.

Committee member Belinda Doolan said the event provides women with an opportunity to get off the farm and connect.

“We can be neighbours and milk next door to each other but never see one another,” Ms Doolan said.

“It’s an opportunity to check in and to share our successes and have a laugh.”

The group heard from a range of guest speakers including broadcaster, TV presenter, journalist and writer Myf Warhurst.

“I was born in Portland so it’s lovely to come back to the region and connect with local women,” Ms Warhurst said.

“I love a long lunch celebrating other people’s hard work.”

Westpac national general manager for regional and agribusiness Peta Ward spoke on the importance of supporting and acknowledging the vital role women have in the dairy industry.

Attendees also heard from local businesswoman Caroline Simmons who, along with her partner Tim, established and developed the now famous Timboon Fine Ice-Cream company in 1999 using fresh milk that comes from the Doolan family farm down the road.

Farm business consultant Fiona Smith spoke about Dairy Australia’s ‘Our Farm Our Plan’ program and the importance of setting long term goals to improve business performance.

The variety of speakers resulted in great discussion.

The luncheon would not be possible without the generous support of local organisations through sponsorship, gifts, hampers and lucky door prizes.

Library popular

THE Koroit library continues to attract regular visitors, with figures released yesterday showing the Corangamite Moyne Library Service (CMLS) model is proving successful. The model, which was formed 12 months ago, combines library services from the two shires.

The report card showed the ‘new model’ is much loved by the communities it serves, with visitor numbers on the rise.

CMLS is trending up for both shires on a number of significant measures, from user visits to loans and program attendance.

Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster said the libraries don’t just provide access to books and other loan items, the staff also support users to navigate the digital landscape, with digital literacy support sessions.

“Our programs are back and in demand, with events for children, particularly our story times seeing strong attendance,” Cr Foster said.

“These sessions bring the fun to early literacy and learning, while giving carers

“Our adult literary events have proven popular, with author talks, poetry readings and more drawing record crowds.”

Key statistics across both shires combined include - library visits up 28 per cent (over 64,000 visits); program attendance up 83 per cent; wi-fi usage up 56 per cent; public PC usage up 46 per cent; over 84,000 physical loans (books, DVDs, magazines) and over 26,000 digital loans (audiobooks, e-books, digital magazines, streaming videos)

“Libraries are key to supporting our community in a cost-of-living crisis, remaining as free public spaces where people can drop by for somewhere warm and comfortable, to read a paper, connect with friends or bring the kids for a play,” Cr Foster said.

Gold for local apprentice

SOUTH West TAFE carpentry student

Jayme Cannon has been recognised as the best apprentice carpenter in Australia at the WorldSkills National Championships.

Mr Cannon received the award in Melbourne last Sunday night, impressing judges who said he stood out above other contestants from around the country. Although he was introduced to working with tools by his grandparents as a youngster, and was influenced by other family members in the trades, Mr Cannon wasn’t sure of his career path until well into year 12.

“I was struggling to find a passion through year 9 and 10,” he said.

“I had thought about becoming a fisheries officer or going into civil engineering but once I started the woodworking classes, I was amazed at my natural talent for it and how much I enjoyed it.

“I found my passion for the career late in year 12 and started in cabinet making and it led on from there to carpentry as a whole.”

Twenty-two year-old Jayme completed his Certificate III in Carpentry with South West TAFE in October last year and was employed as an apprentice with Westvic Staffing Solutions.

He now works for Felk Building Group in Portland.

To win the competition, Mr Cannon competed against apprentices from around Australia.

“We were given a set of plans and had to interpret them and build a complex garden gazebo in 18 hours, and we also had a pallet building speed test,” he said.

He sees a long career in the field.

“It’s very versatile,” he said. “There’s always a different problem arising that needs complex solving that takes dedication and skill of the craft.”

The award is the pinnacle so far in his career.

“Getting told well done is great but standing in a pack of Australia’s best carpenters and to win above

them means a lot to me and proves to myself how far I have come,” Mr Cannon said.

Building and Construction Teacher at SWTAFE, Brett Lake, who mentored Mr Cannon for the competition, said he deserved the accolades.

“Jayme has a real passion for the trade, a positive attitude, a great ability to think his way through situations and takes a lot of pride in his work.

“He deserves all the accolades that come his way and any opportunities that come on the back of this success.”

Other South West TAFE students Sophie Harry (beauty), Chloe Graham (cookery) and Archie Wilder (engineering) reached the finals of the championships

and competed at the weekend.

South West TAFE was also one of three finalists in the Large Training Provider of the Year and in the Industry Collaboration Award that were presented last Friday night at the Victorian Training Awards.

WHEN life gets busy, home chores such as doing the laundry can often get put on the back-burner.

Piles of washing tend to mount up in the laundry in record time and for workers this can often be left unattended for extended periods.

That’s where Jim’s Laundry Services Warrnambool can help out.

Esther Tanner started her franchise business just a few short months ago but has already earned a reputation for providing a fast, cost-efficient service across the district.

“I’m the newest and probably the only female Jim’s franchisee west of Geelong,” Esther said.

“My business aims to fill some gaps in the community due to a tremendous staff shortage in the disability and aged care industry.”

Warrnambool recently hosted a ‘You Can’t Ask That’ event which addressed recruitment issues in the sector, and an expo was held at South West TAFE in an attempt to attract more workers.

“As a contractor, I can help meet the laundry needs of NDIS participants and Home Care Packages clients, which would enable individual or disability workers to focus on other aspects of home care,” Esther said.

“My service is also available to businesses and domestic clients.”

Esther’s laundry services include free pick-up and delivery, with a 24-hour turnaround time.

Her ‘standard’ service involves wash, dry and fold – and clients don’t even have

to be home for the pickup and delivery - they can simply leave their washing at their front door; it’s that easy.

Jim’s Laundry Services is one of the newest divisions in Jim’s Group, and is the fastest growing division in the company’s history.

Esther’s business covers a substantial area across the south west including Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Koroit, Mortlake and everywhere in between. “People who have heard about or have used my laundry services are really excited that such service is now available to everyday residents in the community.” For information on the laundry services available, contact Esther on 131546.

‘Toddle’ in character

POPULAR book characters of all sorts and colours were seen at West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House earlier this week.

The house playgroup, ‘Toddle on Hoddle’, held its Book Week celebrations on Tuesday.

Twenty-four little ones and their families enjoyed time together, practicing fine and gross motor skills and playing with friends.

Dressed in characters from their favourite books, the group made its

way to Warrnambool West Primary School library to listen to assistant principal Karen Holdsworth read one of the short-listed books ‘Snap!’ School teacher and Toddle on Hoddle playgroup organiser Renae Blake, along with Jill Bourke (Warrnambool West Neighboured House coordinator) said it was wonderful to spend time with West community families each week.

They were thrilled with the turn out, a little excursion to the school library and the fabulous dress-ups.

Toddle on Hoddle is held each Tuesday of the school term from 9.30am-11am.

Kingsley and his mum enjoy the dress-up day. 2023E

Triumphs on display

MORE than 100 classic Triumphs will converge on Warrnambool in October for the annual national rally.

The Triumph Sports Owners Association (TSOA) will host the rally from October 21-28.

It is anticipated the event will attract vehicle enthusiasts from all over Victoria as well as from Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Tasmania and Queensland.

The cars will be on display during a special free ‘show and shine’ event at Lake Pertobe on Sunday October 22 before participants enjoy a light and sound show at Flagstaff Hill later that night.

The rally will also take in scenic drives along the Great Ocean Road, along with trips to Port Fairy, Koroit, Tower Hill and Portland.

Barefoot bowls at Warrnambool City Bowls Club and planned visits to local attractions and eateries is also on the week-long agenda.

In a welcome boon for the district, rally participants will have ample free time to explore the first-rate restaurants and venues in Warrnambool, with the estimated injection of money into the local community expected to exceed $200,000 - a boost to the region’s businesses who have been doing it tough for the last few years.

The theme of this year’s rally is ‘100 years of Triumph Vehicle Manufacturing.’

It also marks the 70th year since the first TR2 sports car was manufactured and its subsequent line of TR sports cars, many examples of which will be on display during the rally.

Grants available for local ideas

DO you have a business idea but need some help bringing that idea to fruition?

The ‘Ideas Place Ignite’ program aims to help south west entrepreneurs make their innovative business ideas a reality.

The majority of participants in the program have gone on to start a business, with expressions of interest for the next intake now open.

Following the completion of the Ignite program, a number of participants also went on to pitch for up to $10,000 in funding from the Ideas Place.

Sherri Symons won $10,000 in seed funding for her idea to use low-value crossbred wool as an organic fertiliser, and Ideas Place facilitator Liz Grant said that Sherri wasn’t the only success story.

“If you look at the participants who were in the previous Ignite, most of them have gone on to establish a business,” Ms Grant said.

“By the end of the Ignite program, many of them had made their first sale.”

The Ignite program runs for 10 weeks and covers topics such as finance, marketing, operations, risk management and everything else needed to launch or expand on an innovative business idea. As well as this, Ms Grant said that the opportunity to connect with like-minded people is one of the major benefits of the program.

“It takes a village to raise a business,” she said.

“And we’ve found with the program that has just finished, great friendships were made, really strong friendships.

“Everyone has different ideas and different experiences, and it adds to the richness of your idea to have input from others on how you might make it happen.

“You don’t know who other people know, so you start that network and from there, it broadens.”

Ms Grant said the program was flexible to accommodate people with other commitments.

“It’s 10 weeks of three hours on a Monday night, but in that three hours there are three separate modules, and they are recorded so you can access it later,” she said.

Ms Grant has worked in the business

growth space for almost 35 years, and the start-up sector for 14 years.

She encouraged anyone with either an idea for a new business, for an innovation in an existing business, or an idea for a not-for-profit program to express their interest in the upcoming Ignite program.

“Often we think we’re a lot less ready than we really are,” she said.

“If you’ve got an idea and this program has piqued your interest, it’s likely that you’re ready.”

Expressions of Interest close on Wednesday, August 30.

DETAILED SALEYARD REPORT by MLA’s YARDING 768 CHANGE

54 less

The Mortlake selling agents yarded 770 head this week being a slight decrease on the previous weeks offering. A good lead was evident in the trade offering which again tailed off due to seasonal conditions. The cow offering was dominated by lighter dairy types with only a handful of better beef cows available. Manufacturing steers were again prominent. Feeder operators were evident competing on the available trade and beef breeds. Not all the regular buyers were operating on the offering consisting of 210 grown cattle, 250 trade types, 300 cows along with 13 bulls.

The market for grown and trade cattle as well as manufacturing steers was softer by 10 to 15c/kg. The cows were mostly firm to dearer in places with the lighter cows most positively affected. Trade steers and heifers made between 240c and 304c/kg. Grown cattle topped at 282c/kg. Manufacturing steers sold from 200c to 230c/kg. Good beef cows made from 200c to 250ckg with the medium weights between 175c and 200c/kg. Dairy cows were generally selling between 160c and 234c/kg with grown beef bulls to 232c/kg.

HAMILTON SHEEP MARKET

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2023

DETAILED SALEYARD REPORT by MLA’s

Total Yarding: 4285 (+695)

Sheep Yarding: 440 (+180)

Lamb Yarding: 3845 (+515)

Similar numbers were on offer at Hamilton this week as agents offered 3,860 lambs and 400 sheep.

It was a good offering of more short skinned medium and trade weight lambs which included a small tail. The sheep offering, predominately crossbreds, covered most weights and categories.

Not all the processor representatives present were active. Feeder competition was evident and there was no store competition. With the reduction of the overall weight on offer the market was still back some $10 to $15/head for lambs with majority of the good trade weight lambs realizing between 380c and 500c/kg cwt.

Top lambs sold to $135/head. Competition for sheep was restricted resulting in a softer market by $10/head. Light 12 to 16kg lambs made from $17 to $56/head. Trade lambs 18 to 22kg sold from $54 to $119 with the medium weights to the trade 22 to 26kg making from $88 to $118/head with the very best trade lambs realizing from 380c to 500c/kg cwt.

Heavy crossbred Ewes sold to $64 with a handful of Merino Ewes to $37/head. The General run of mutton realizing between 120c and 180c/kg cwt. Market Reporter Chris Agnew.

North take on Saints

IN a highly anticipated second versus third clash, North Warrnambool will take on reigning premiers Koroit in the final round of the Hampden League home and away season.

Coming off a nine-point loss to the Bloods last weekend, the Saints will be keen to get back on the winners’ list before the start of finals.

The Eagles are flying high and now sit second on the Hampden ladder, a game clear of the Saints, following their 19-point win over the Blues last weekend.

A quick start saw just four points between the Eagles and Blues at the end of the first quarter at Reid Oval last Saturday.

But the Eagles put the foot down in the second, adding six goals while containing the Blues to two

majors, giving them a handy 29-point lead going into the main break.

The Eagles maintained their momentum in the second half to take the points on the siren, 10.9.69 to 7.8.50.

Jackson Grundy (two goals), Jett Birmingham, Luke Wines (2), Jarryd Lewis, Angus Noske and Dylan Parish (2) were all strong for the Eagles while for the Blues, Mitchell Bidmade, Jye Turland, Jackson Bell, Will Lord, Sam Cowlign and Otto Opperman were in the best.

While the Eagles will carry momentum into this weekend’s clash, the Saints will be eager to get win number 12 on the board to finish off the home and away season.

Round 17 proved a tough one for the reigning premiers, going down to one of the season’s biggest improvers, Terang Mortlake, by nine points at Victoria Park.

A strong opening term from the visitors set the scene for a great day of football, with both sides working hard for possession and making the most of the ball in their forward 50.

By the main break the Saints had regained the lead but it was short-lived, with the visitors piling on six goals in the third term to go into the last with a handy 18-point lead.

Final scores were Terang Mortlake 11.8.74 to Koroit 9.11.65.

Clem Nagorcka, Jack Block, Mac Petersen, Paddy O’Sullivan, Jake McCosh and Jyron Neave were in the best for the Saints.

In other round 18 matches tomorrow, top side South Warrnambool will meet Portland, the Bloods will host the Kangaroos, Warrnambool will travel to Cobden to take on the Bombers and Camperdown will be on home to Port Fairy.

Success in the pool

TWELVE-year old Warrnambool

Swimming Club star Eli Kerr has brought home a swag of medals from last weekend’s Victorian Short Course Country Swimming Championships.

The talented teen from Newfield continues to dominate in the pool, bringing home six gold and one bronze medal from the Wangaratta meet.

Despite his young age, Eli often finds himself competing against (and beating) grown men in the multi-class division.

“Usually at these championships (like last weekend) the multi-class is an open men’s event but Eli isn’t bothered,” his proud mum Nicole said.

“He has been swimming competitively with the Warrnambool club since he was nine so to achieve this in a relatively short space of time is pretty special we think.”

The six individual gold medals were won in the 50m freestyle, backstroke, breastroke, butterfly and 100m individual medal and freestyle events.

Eli also took out bronze in the able-bodied para 4x4 freestyle relay in the open division.

His success is reward for the countless hours spent in the pool, swimming laps under the watchful eye of the coaching staff at Warrnambool.

“Eli does one afternoon training session each week but he also does two early morning sessions which means he’s up at 4.30am and trains from 6am-8am,” Nicole said.

“My husband Andrew takes Eli to Warrnambool each morning and I do the afternoon shift. It’s certainly a family commitment but we all really enjoy it.

“His older brother Ronan, 15, also swims and is competitive as well. Both boys love their swimming.”

Warrnambool Swimming Club coach Josh Sobey said he was “thrilled” with the performance of club members last weekend.

“We had about 44 swimmers represent our club and we finished fifth overall on points which was amazing,” Sobey said.

“More than 80 personal bests were recorded over the two days which is an achievement in itself.

“These are all great signs for the future of our swim club and I couldn’t be prouder.”
