Order your free screening kit today
CANCER Council Victoria is calling on Victorians aged 45-49 to order a free bowel screening kit following a significant change to the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.
On July 1, the program’s age criteria changed to allow Victorians aged 45-49 to opt-in to receive a free bowel screening test kit in the mail.
They will then automatically receive a kit in the mail every two years after the completion of their first test.
Cancer Council Victoria’s head of prevention and adjunct associate professor Craig Sinclair said Cancer Council Victoria strongly supported the change, allowing more people to take part in the free screening program.
“Bowel cancer is Victoria’s second leading cause of cancer-related death among men and the third among women. But it can also be prevented through participation in the National

Bowel Cancer Screening Program,” he said.
“The test, also known as the faecal occult blood test, can detect signs of bowel cancer before symptoms occur.
“Bowel cancer can develop with no symptoms or family history. This is why doing regular screening from the age of 45 is so important, even if you feel well and live a healthy lifestyle.”
The latest Victorian Cancer Registry data shows 72 Victorian men and 73 Victorian women aged 45-49 were diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2022.
At 48, Victorian father Lupco Talevski felt fit and healthy and didn’t consider his risk of bowel cancer.
However, after being recommended a colonoscopy due to another issue, he was shocked to hear he had several large polyps in his bowel.
If left untreated, these could have developed into bowel cancer.
Letter to the Editor Hospital uncertainty
Dear Editor
The brutal reality of the Allan Labor Government’s hospital mergers and cuts is starting to bite.
Sadly, Mildura is the latest at the centre of a looming storm that threatens life as we know it in regional Victoria.
Labor’s budget cuts are forcing regional hospitals across the state to consider service cuts, and the plans are being kept secret from their own communities.
The fact Mildura Base Hospital has been forced to list the closure of its emergency department as a way of reaching Labor’s stringent, unrealistic budget targets is alarming.
It is there in writing, in an email chain, as part of the hospital’s Budget Action Plan. There is no hiding away from it. The closure
“It wasn’t like I had noticed anything unusual; I had no symptoms and wouldn’t have thought anything was wrong,” Mr Talevski said.
“Mine is a cautionary tale. I thought of myself as healthy. I don’t smoke, I eat healthily and don’t drink.
“I’ve been a swimmer all my life and love being active, so it really surprised me that I could be at risk.”
People aged 50-74 will continue to receive a kit in the mail every two years.
So, if you’re aged 45-74, don’t take the risk, take the free bowel cancer screening test every two years. It could save your life.
To learn more about bowel screening, head to cancervic.org.au/bowel.
To order a bowel screening test kit, visit ncsr.gov.au/boweltest or call the National Cancer Screening Register on 1800 627 701.
would mean patients being rushed 400km to the nearest emergency department, which is insanity.
The paediatrics and aboriginal health services are also under threat. Again, insanity.
After rallies of hundreds in places like Yea, Mansfield and Seymour, the anger is brewing and the headlines emanating from Mildura won’t help.
As Labor continues to waste money on the city Big Build, plagued by union thuggery, regional Victorians are left to suffer the pain of health mergers and cuts.
The Nationals have made a commitment to keep local hospitals local and well-funded. We will make sure all services will be deliveredby local professionals for the local community. Labor can’t manage money and regional Victorians are paying the price.
Emma Kealy MP Deputy Leader of The Nationals
Timor Street traffic one way
WITH construction on the Warrnambool Base Hospital redevelopment about to begin, motorists are reminded that a section of Timor Street will be one-way only.
The section between Hyland and Ryot streets will temporarily become one-way to allow for the safe movement of large construction vehicles to the redevelopment site.
Traffic will only be permitted to travel in an easterly direction from next Monday, July 22.
Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said he was excited to see the construction phase for the redevelopment at the hospital get underway.
“It’s a significant investment that will greatly improve healthcare for Warrnambool and the wider region, and we are happy to be able to work with the hospital to help get trucks to and from the site in a safer way,” Cr Blain said.
“With parking on both sides of Timor Street, it can be quite narrow as it is, and with the trucks that will be travelling to the construction site while the redevelopment is under way, a change was needed for safety.
“We’ve written to nearby residents about the changes. Thank you in advance for everyone’s understanding while these changes are in place.”
Cr Blain said council looked at alternatives, but the big benefit of this approach was that it meant the existing car parking on both sides of Timor Street could be maintained.
“We didn’t want to reduce the amount of available parking in this important precinct,” he said.
“Speaking of parking, as part of the hospital redevelopment, a new car park on Merri Crescent opened earlier this year, with 68 off-street angle parks just a short walk from the hospital.”
It is intended that these temporary changed traffic conditions will be in place for the duration of the project.
Council will consult with local residents and the community on any future options for the street in relation to traffic movement and parking.
The Victorian Government is investing $384.2 million to deliver the Warrnambool Base Hospital redevelopment. A new multi-story clinical services building will deliver a
bigger emergency department, more operating theatres, an extra 22 inpatient beds and dedicated areas for medical imaging and dialysis.

Traffic along this section of Timor Street will be ‘one-way only’ while hospital construction works are underway. 2024E
We’re here to help
WHEN it comes to customer service, Port Fairy and District Community Bank is second to none.
Led by branch manager Hollie Ciurleo since July 2021, the team is dedicated to its customers and to ensuring that all their banking needs are met.
“Although I have seen many changes in recent years, what hasn’t changed is the commitment, hard work and dedication of our staff,” Ms Ciurleo said.
“This is supported by our bank customers, community groups and organisations.
“It has ensured that our Community Bank is able to support many and varied community projects, events and educational grants.”
The Community Bank model says that every time people bank with their local Community Bank branch, the bottom line increases – which, in turn, increases the amount of community contributions and dividends are available to be disbursed to the community.
“Today, many more people use Bendigo Bank’s website, online banking and apps to transact and complete their everyday banking than ever before,” Ms Ciurleo said.
“However, we are still available in the branch for faceto-face meetings and would love people to come in for a chat to discuss their home loan and all other banking inquiries.
“We are here to help.”
Conveniently located in Bank Street Port Fairy, the branch is open from 9.30am until 4pm Monday to Thursday and until 5pm each Friday.
To speak with Hollie Ciurleo and her team phone 5568 1200.
Surprise boost for SES unit
PORT Fairy SES unit was one of 10 groups to benefit from the latest round of grants announced by the town’s Community Bank.
The Community Bank (Port Fairy and District) celebrated its 10th birthday with a special evening last month, enjoyed by around 200 shareholders, guests, customers and community partners.
Belfast Community Enterprises Ltd chair Damian Gleeson reiterated the significance of the important role the steering committee had played in
setting up the bank in Port Fairy.
“Without their vision there would be no bank in Port Fairy today,” Mr Gleeson told the crowd.
He praised all staff and directors who had been involved with the bank since its opening on June 24, 2014 and also thanked the customers whose banking had made such a difference over the years.
“Thanks to you all, $840,000 has been invested into the community through 101 community groups,” he said.
“In addition, the Community Bank has $485,000 deposited to enable it to continue to
support further community opportunities.”
One of the highlights of the night was an announcement by Mr Gleeson of grants to 10 organisations, totalling $78, 512.
The major recipient was the Port Fairy SES unit which received $50,000 towards the purchase of a new vehicle.
“These SES volunteers play an important role in keeping our community safe and supporting other emergency services,” Mr Gleeson said.
Board of Directors founding chairman Peter Langley, and his successor Ralph Leutton, made the cheque presentation to unit
controller Hannah Morris.
“We are absolutely thrilled with this donation, it will certainly go a long way towards purchasing an additional 4WD twin cab ute,” Ms Morris said.
“It (the donation) was a complete surprise and we are so very grateful; we really didn’t expect this level of support.
“This project has been in the pipeline for quite some time now and this money means we can now go ahead with the vehicle purchase.”
The Port Fairy SES unit currently has 22 operational volunteers along with eight associate members.
Play space a step closer
THE long-awaited Port Fairy skatepark and play space is now a step closer to fruition thanks to a recent $1 million grant from the state government.
The $2.7 million project, which includes $1.7 million from the Warrnambool City Council budget, will provide a familyfriendly space for the entire community to enjoy.
The announcement of the Sport and Recreation Victoria funding coincides with contractors being appointed to design and build the precinct.
“This funding from the state government means the project can be completed in alignment with the 2023 Concept Plan at Russell Clark Reserve, which has been extensively consulted on,” deputy mayor Cr Karen Foster said.
Cr Foster said Convic had won the contract in a competitive and thorough process in line with council’s strict procurement guidelines and policy.
“We have taken some big leaps forward with this project,” Cr Foster said.
“The additional funding from the state government means the total budget of $2.7 million will allow us to complete additional works including toilet facilities, picnic areas, activity spaces, parking and civil works which were planned for future stages.
“The funding will allow us to create a fantastic, family friendly space which the community has helped shaped. It’s going to be wonderful space for the whole community to come together and enjoy.”
Cr Foster said council teams were now working with the contractors on timelines for construction and will keep the community informed of progress.
“This has been a long time in the works, but we have got through the longest part of the process – we now have a fantastic central location and a design which the community have been consulted on.
“We are now ready to go, and work will start soon to deliver this new family friendly precinct.”
Women’s breakfast next month
in the Arts’ will be the focus of the next Business and Professional Women (South West) breakfast meeting.
The 12th annual August breakfast meeting is open to all and will be held at the Lady Bay Resort on Tuesday, August 6 from 7.15am.
Guests at the meeting will hear from three professionals in the arts sector who will discuss their work, careers and journey to date:
Regional Arts Victoria regional manager Stacey Barnes works across five Great South Coast councils to support creative industries.

Professional artist Kathryn Ryan has been exhibiting work in galleries in Melbourne and Sydney for 35 years and has won several awards.
BPW South West president Mel Curtis said over the past 12 years the breakfast event had become a great way to learn more about the amazing work and passions of women across the south west.
“Last year we focused on women in the media, and it was such an interesting discussion; this year we are keen to learn more about the types of roles there are in the arts
Admin oversight in Budget
THE correction of an administrative oversight in the Budget will be considered by Warrnambool City Council at its August meeting.
“Superseded property value data was used in the Budget and we have since amended the document using the most recent data provided by the Victorian Office of the ValuerGeneral,” council’s chief executive officer Andrew Mason said.
“This revision makes no changes to any allocation of funds, revenue, or expenditure, and has no new impact on any ratepayers.
‘This is an administrative correction only that ensures a fully compliant Budget.”
Mr Mason assured residents there would be no change to the revenue generated in each property category as the Budget conformed to the Victorian Government’s 2.75 per cent rate cap (and all of council’s commitments were unchanged).
“The revised draft Budget will be available on council’s website for interested residents to read and we’ll also make printed copies available if people would prefer a hard copy,” Mr Mason said.
“The Budget will come before the August open council meeting for councillors to consider.
“Bringing the Budget back is not ideal but we need to ensure it’s correct and that our commitments to the community, made after consulting with residents late last year and early this year, are honoured.”
Changes in the revised Budget
New property value data was provided in May by the ValuerGeneral Victoria.
Council must include this latest data set in the 2024-2025 Budget to ensure the Budget is fully compliant with local government regulations.
The property data revealed changes in the total capital improved values across various property categories.
For example, the total value of general residential land had fallen slightly while capital improved values of farm land, commercial land and industrial land had increased.
In adding the latest data set from the Valuer-General, council needed to make corresponding adjustments to the rate in the dollar applied to each property category to ensure that total revenue remained unchanged and conformed to the 2.75 per cent rate cap.

Global line-up for 2025 Folkie
THE Port Fairy Folk Festival committee has this week announced an exciting global line-up for its 2025 event.
Renowned folk musicians from around the world are ready to descend on Port Fairy over the March long weekend.
The 48th Port Fairy Folk Festival is shaping up to be an enticing musical fusion of international and local artists, with fresh faces and returning artists destined to bring joy to the festival’s devoted and music-loving audience.
Coming in from Scotland, it’s a big welcome back to festival friends Skerryvore, while Dean Owens and The Sinners will make their Port Fairy debut.
En route from Ireland will be Niamh Bury with her sun-drunk folk style and Síomha (pronounced Shee-Vah) and her folk-jazz-neo-soul songs, both on their inaugural Port Fairy voyages.
Direct from the USA will be the silky melodies and warm harmonies of The Brother Brothers, charming Americana star Hannah Aldridge, and Throwing Muses’ folk rock legend Kristin Hersh.
Across the border, Canada’s favourite folk group The East Pointers will once again head ‘down under’ and return to Port Fairy.
The festival will continue its love of ‘70s style traditional singer-songwriter artists, with Katie Spencer and John Smith returning with their stunning finger picking style and graceful tones from England.
Back at home, Port Fairy Folk Festival is honoured to have Missy Higgins, Little Quirks, Chikchika, Hana and Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits, Uncle Kutcha Edwards, Lian Husi Timor and Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission sharing their songs and stories across our stages.
“This first line-up for the 2025 event covers many genres and styles but is drawn from the festival’s roots,” Justin Rudge, Port Fairy Folk Festival program director said.
“Our audience is the inspiration behind this first artist line-up for 2025.
“These first 17 artists span many genres, but are united in their passion, creativity and joy - which is what we want to share with our Folkies.”
From the exquisite fingerpicking style of John Smith to the wonderful ballads of Missy Higgins, Mr Rudge believes the 2025 festival will have a program for everyone.
“Great music, great experiences and great musicians are at the heart of this
festival so make sure you book a ticket,” Mr Rudge said.
The 2025 Port Fairy Folk Festival will be held on March 7-10.

Premier’s Award for Annameike
FORMER Emmanuel College student Annameike Cozens was one of only six students state-wide to receive an Outstanding VCE Vocational Major Student Award earlier this week.
Victoria’s top-performing students from the year 12 class of 2023 have been celebrated for their academic success.
The Vocational Major Student Award recognises exceptional achievement and honours students who demonstrate excellence, skills growth and community impact.
At a special presentation at the Melbourne Convention Centre on Wednesday, Premier Jacinta Allan presented the Premier’s VCE Awards which recognise the outstanding achievements of students completing the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) in 2023.
This year’s awards were the first to feature the Outstanding VCE Vocational Major Student Award – following the Labor Government’s introduction of the dedicated vocational program within the certificate in 2023.
A total of 310 students received 332 awards across 93 subjects, including 300 study awards, 23 Top All-Round VCE High Achiever Awards, six Outstanding VCE Vocational Major Students and three Top International Student Awards.
Premier Allan said all award recipients had demonstrated commitment and hard work throughout their final year at school.
“These award winners are testament to how Victorian students can thrive with support from their teachers, school communities, families and friends,” the Premier said.
Minister for Education Ben Carroll said it was exciting to see such a diverse, talented group of young Victorians, particularly the outstanding achievers in the VCE Vocational Major, who were recognised in the awards for the very first time.
While completing her VCE Vocational Major studies at Emmanuel College last year, Annameike Cozens was an exemplary youth leader in the agricultural industry.
She coordinated industry projects and impactful community initiatives.
Her achievements included orchestrating tours and industry days (notably with Monk and Sons) and organising a Women in Trades Conference; highlighting her commitment to empowering young females in the agricultural industry.
Her commitment to leadership and community involvement also extended to organising blood donation drives.
Annameike was instrumental in setting up network opportunities that connected students with industry professionals, including a collaboration with the Women in Dairy Expo.
She also undertook Certificate II in both agricultural studies and animal studies and secured a veterinary nursing position during her VCE studies.
Volunteer expo this weekend
IF you’re thinking about volunteering, there’s no better time to find out more than at this weekend’s Volunteer Expo.
With representatives from over 40 community groups gathering in the one place tomorrow (Saturday), make sure you head to the Emmanuel Centre in Botanic Road.
Once again the Warrnambool City Council will host this year’s South West Volunteer Expo, which will run from 10am until 2pm.
Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain encouraged
anyone thinking of volunteering to take advantage of this once-a-year opportunity.
“Looking at the long list of groups who will be attending, it’s a reminder of how many amazing organisations we have in Warrnambool, and each are contributing to making it a better place,” he said.
“There are roles to suit everyone, and the great thing about the South West Volunteer Expo is that you can chat with a wide range of groups, in a friendly and relaxed setting, to see which one might be the best fit for you.”
Cr Blain said volunteering was a great way to give
back to the community.
“Giving back is one reason why so many people get started, but speaking with volunteers across different areas the reason they keep going is because they really enjoy what they do,” Cr Blain said.
“So, if you’re keen to help your community and have a lot of fun doing it, make sure you get along to the expo tomorrow.”
The South West Volunteer Expo is free to attend, with lucky door prizes and giveaways, plus a sausage sizzle and coffee van on-site.
Annameike is congratulated on her award by Emmanuel College principal Peter Morgan and Applied Learning coordinator Rebecca Down. 2024E
Safety concerns for paramedics
AMBULANCE Victoria (AV) is urging everyone to treat paramedics and call takers with respect when they see them at an emergency incident or in the community.
The call comes in light of a recent report that showed there had been more than 100 reported incidents against paramedics, resulting in injury, between July last year and March 2024.
While paramedics work hard to provide the best possible care and assistance to communities, they continue to be exposed to occupational violence and abuse.
Recent incidents have included a paramedic being grabbed and punched in the face by a patient they were treating, while another suffered a dislocation after a patient became aggressive.
Paramedics have also been harassed and followed by patients threatening to assault them.
Additionally, Ambulance Victoria members are often exposed to situations involving verbal assault, swearing and name calling.
This escalating behaviour can result in paramedics pausing their treatment or withdrawing from the scene or terminating a call.
Ambulance Victoria executive director of regional operations Danielle North said violence against paramedics was never OK and the behaviour was not accepted as part of the job.
“We know emergency situations can be stressful for people, but this is no excuse to behave aggressively towards paramedics,” Ms North said.
“We are aware of several serious occupational violence incidents recently across the state and it is timely that we remind the community again that violence against paramedics, first responders and call takers is never OK.
“Our top priority is the safety of our paramedics and first responders, and they have our full support to leave an incident if they ever feel unsafe.
“Assaulting or berating a paramedic will not help them do their job any quicker.”
For paramedics to provide quick and effective treatment for patients, they need a safe environment to work in.
Paramedics are fully supported by AV in reporting their experience with police.
Injuring an emergency worker in Victoria is a category one offence and carries a mandatory minimum six-month jail sentence.
Paramedic Brodie Thomas has been physically assaulted and spat on while working and is calling on the community to stamp out this behaviour.
“If you ever need us, please know that we are doing our very best to help you,” he said.
“We know the majority of our patients and community members do not behave this way, but it only takes one incident to cause serious physical or mental harm.
“More and more often, paramedics are carrying a heightened cognitive load when
they arrive at incidents; having to constantly make dynamic risk assessments knowing there’s a chance they could be harmed.”
Paramedics are trained in a variety of strategies to assess, manage and deescalate violent or aggressive scenes, but ideally paramedics shouldn’t need to use these skills.
AV is committed to exploring ways to reduce and prevent occupational violence and its staff are encouraged to report every instance of this behaviour.
For more information on the impact of occupational violence on paramedics and how you can help, visit www.ambulance. vic.gov.au/campaigns/respect-ourparamedics.
Program to combat teacher shortage
MORE than 300 education support staff and officers will have the chance to gain teaching qualifications in a bid to combat a countrywide shortage.
The state government-initiated program will allow education support staff and Koorie education support officers to gain teaching qualifications while working in schools.
Rural and regional education support staff who are employed in various roles such as teaching assistants, integration aides, and cultural liaison officers will be able to pursue a full teaching qualification and help combat the Australia-wide issue of teacher shortages.
Minister for Education Ben Carroll launched the $13.9 million initiative late last week.
The program will trial undergraduate-level employmentbased teaching degrees to upskill staff working in Victorian government secondary and specialist schools.
The innovative and tailored program, set to start in 2025, will be delivered by Federation University Australia and La Trobe University.
It will support people to study and qualify as teachers while undertaking paid employment.
Participants will be supported with Department of Education-funded living expenses scholarships, relocation incentives, and mentoring support.
In the final years of the program, they will be eligible to start teaching as paraprofessionals.
Both universities’ programs will focus on supporting participation by Education Support staff in rural and regional Victoria.
At the same time, La Trobe University’s program will encourage participation from Koorie Education Support Officers.
The new undergraduate-level employment-based teaching degrees will further expand Victoria’s nationleading suite of employment-based teaching degrees – known as the ‘Teach Today and Teach Tomorrow’ programs, currently available to postgraduate students.
“The undergraduate level employment-based teaching degree initiative opens up teaching to a broader pool of diverse candidates by supporting staff to gain teaching qualifications while working in our schools,” Minister for Education Ben Carroll said.
“The initiative is a way of removing financial and geographical barriers so that our schools can recruit the next generation of dedicated teachers.”
No Chamber of Commerce for city
ATTEMPTS by the Warrnambool City Council
to establish a Chamber of Commerce for local businesses have failed to form a group.
While there was earlier interest, only two people nominated to join the group when submissions were invited in May.
“At the end of the day, for a Chamber of Commerce to be successful, it needs to be driven by local businesses,” director city growth Luke Coughlan said.
“Unfortunately, at this point in time, there hasn’t been the level of commitment needed to establish a business representative group.”
Mr Coughlan said council staff visited over 500 businesses to discuss the prospect of a business
representative group.
Council also hosted two business events about the topic and it was also featured on council’s website, social media channels, coverage in local media and emails were sent to council’s business database.
“A survey conducted last year indicated that 75 per cent of respondents were in favour of a business representative group, with six per cent against and 19 per cent unsure,” Mr Coughlan said.
“Subsequently, 48 businesses expressed interest in being involved and 24 individuals indicated interest in an advisory or committee role.
“So it appears that there is a collective belief that a Chamber of Commerce would be beneficial, and we
had a good level of expressions of interest in some earlier stages, but unfortunately there hasn’t been enough people put their hands up to help lead the group at this stage.”
Mr Coughlan said while it’s disappointing, council would continue with its diverse business support programs and initiatives delivered by its economic development team.
“The 2024 Warrnambool Business Survey is now open, and I’d encourage all businesses to take the survey as it really helps us to tailor our programs to have the best possible impact.”
The survey can be completed at www. yoursaywarrnambool.com.au.
Convict Class heading overseas
WARRNAMBOOL Punk Rock band Convict Class will fly out to the UK next week.
The band is set to perform four gigs at some of the best venues in the UK and Belgium.
The tour will coincide with the release of their debut album ‘Generation of Discontent.’
“It’s crazy the response we have had people wanting to buy our album and also the gigs we have planned overseas,” band member Shane Stenhouse said.
“We’ve had messages and emails from all over the world wanting to know more about us and where people can buy our merchandise and see us play.”
According to Stenhouse, Convict Class was recently mentioned as one of the up-and-coming bands that punters must see at this year’s Rebellion Punk Music Festival.
“In Spite magazine is one of the leading punk music magazines and for us to get this sort of mention from them is absolutely massive and humbling,” Stenhouse said.
The Rebellion Festival has over 300 punk bands from all over the globe and some of the biggest names are headlining the festival.
Lots of surviving bands from the English Punk explosion in the late 70s and early 80s such as The Stranglers, Cock Sparrer, Stiff Little Fingers, UK Subs, Sweet, Toyah and GBH still feature as well as many others.
“The longevity of the festival, which
has been running for 28 years, relies on bringing in new bands such as ourselves so to be earmarked as one of those is pretty special,” Stenhouse said.
Convict Class has secured its first gig in Bristol on Friday, July 26, alongside three other Australian bands.
The UK promoter has titled the event
‘The Aussies Are Coming.’
Convict Class will then head across the channel to play a one-off European gig in Kortrijk, Belgium with a band from China and another from South Korea.
They will then return to England where they will play in a horror-themed bar in Blackpool as part of the festival’s fringe events.
The festival will start on Thursday, August 1 at Winter Gardens –where seven indoor stages will run simultaneously over four days.
Convict Class will play on the Arena stage on the last day of the festival, Sunday August 4.
“The hall containing the Arena stage fits about 2000 people so we’re hoping to play in front of a large audience,” Stenhouse said.
“We know there will be a big Aussie and English contingent coming to see us and being backstage with some of our heroes is going to be a real pinchme moment.
“This is this biggest punk gathering in the world and the exposure we will gain from this will be invaluable.”
On return the band will play gigs and festivals around Australia to promote its new album.

Student scholarships now open
YOUTHRIVE Victoria’s round of scholarships is now open to rural and regional Victorian students planning to undertake further study in 2025.
Each year, the local not-forprofit provides a number of scholarships to Year 12 students who plan to undertake university studies, or further develop skills through vocational training.
In 2023, 11 Youthrive Victoria Rural University scholarships and 21 Rural Chances scholarships were awarded to young rural and regional Victorians looking to undertake further study in 2024. Thanks to funding generously provided by philanthropic donors, 10 university scholarships ($10,000 per year for three years) and 20 vocational scholarships (up to $5000) have been made available to young rural Victorians wanting to upskill or pursue tertiary study in 2025.
“We believe that our scholarships and programs are helping to create positive outcomes for students from rural and regional Victoria and hope to see a large number of applications for both our university and TAFE scholarships this year,” Youthrive Victoria chief executive Andrew McGuckian said.
The scholarships provide financial support to assist with living expenses and travel costs, specifically addressing the needs of students from regional areas.
Youthrive Victoria also offers ‘Wrap Around Care’, which includes mentoring, capacity building and development opportunities.
The impact and importance of scholarships is widely acknowledged and can often lead to very different outcomes for students who may not be able to consider further studies due to costs and/or regional distances.
Molly, a 2024 Youthrive Victoria university scholar, touched on how the scholarship had impacted her.
“The scholarship has empowered me to not only focus on my studies but also actively engage in initiatives aimed at improving rural areas,” she said.
“It relieved the financial stress of the many expenses associated with university, and the money has allowed me to focus on my studies and engage in community service activities, such as taking over the social media and coaching at the Newlyn FNC to enhance my own local community.”
University scholarship applications are now open, and close on 25 August 2023.
Rural Chances vocational scholarships are now open, and close on November 14.
More information about Youthrive Victoria’s scholarships and how to apply is available at: https://www.youthrivevictoria. org.au/scholarships/
Youthrive Victoria’s scholarships are funded by private donors, philanthropic trusts, and sponsors.

New directors needed
DATAGENE, the body responsible for driving genetic gain and herd improvement in the Australian dairy industry, is seeking two new directors to join its skills-based board.
Applications are now open for positions on the DataGene board to represent milk producers and the herd improvement supply chain.
Chair Graeme Gillan said the new directors would play a key role in the continuing innovation of Australia’s dairy industry.
“Directors bring strong experience in dairy, herd improvement, finance, research and development and governance and set the course for DataGene’s key activities,” Mr Gillan said.
The DataGene board includes three directors with direct expertise in dairy farm management.
Mr Gillan said it was important to have directors experienced in all facets of milk production and dairy farming systems who could identify and evaluate technology and service programs to support the industry.
He added that a director from the herd improvement supply chain would help to drive new opportunities to improve the industry’s profitability.
Two directors are retiring from the board.
Directors can serve a three-year term and up to three consecutive terms.
Mr Gillan said the rotation of directors ensured the ongoing refreshment of skills and experience on the board.
People interesting in nominating can contact Mick Hay on 1300 380 701 or can apply by heading to www.rimfireresources.com.au by Friday, August 2.

Emma Memma entertains
THE Lighthouse Theatre was awash in bright orange last weekend as excited youngsters sang and danced along with special school holiday guest, Emma Memma.
Emma Memma and her friends brought their orange Butterfly Bus to Warrnambool as part of her current ‘Boop and Twirl’ tour
The Sunday performances attracted more than 800 patrons to the theatre.
The bubbly entertainer and her friends, Elvin Melvin, BB Butterfly and Waffles the Wombat put smiles on young faces throughout the two shows.
School speed zones return
DRIVERS are reminded to be cautious as school speed zones are back in effect from this week.
Students this week returned to classrooms for the start of Term Three, prompting a reminder for drivers to slow down in school zones.
A spokesperson for the Department of Transport urged all motorists to watch out for little ones who may be a little out of practice with their road safety.
“All school speed zones are back in operation for the start of Term Three,” the spokesperson said.
“This happens state-wide in line with the Victorian school calendar and helps to avoid any confusion about local differences, and means more traffic, pedestrians, cyclists and busses around drop off and pick up times.
“Please be alert, as the younger kids especially have less awareness of road
safety and they can be unpredictable around traffic, and all students after the break might be a little out of practice.
“It is on everyone to be alert to obey those reduced speed limits and the direction of crossing supervisors to keep the kids safe.”
The spokesperson said weather conditions were also a factor to keep in mind when driving through school zones.
“Along with the reduced speed limits, generally 40km/h in most school speed zones between 8am-9.30am and 2.30pm4pm, you can also expect to see more people getting in and out of parked cars,” the spokesperson said.
“Extra pedestrians, cyclists and people on scooters and skateboards are all potentially more difficult to see in wintery and wet conditions.
“Please stay focussed for everyone’s safety.”
Cash boost for shop fronts
DOES your shopfront need a makeover?
If so, Moyne Shire Council can help with a grant.
The fifth instalment of the annual $50,000 Business Facade Improvement Program is now open for applications, offering matched dollar-for dollar-grants of up to $5000 for eligible businesses.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Ian Smith said the popular program was an important part of council’s business support package.
“Through this program we are helping businesses and building owners to give their premises a bit of a spruce up, which also helps enhance the overall appearance of our streetscapes,” Cr Smith said.
“Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint, new signage or a new verandah and windows, we encourage all business operators and property owners to take up this opportunity to spruce up their facade.”
Last year, council allocated funding to 17 businesses across the shire, including Koroit’s Noodledoof Brewery, Moody Plumbing in Port Fairy and the Koroit post office.
Applications to the fund must be lodged by Monday, September 16.
More information on eligibility and how to apply can be found online at www. moyne.vic.gov.au/facade or by calling council’s economic development team on 1300 656 564.
Before and after: the council’s business façade improvement program can help local buisnesses improve their shop fronts. 2024E

NAIDOC Week celebrations
A WELCOME and smoking ceremony began what was a special day of celebrations in Port Fairy last Saturday
People of all ages gathered at the Goods Shed in Railway Place on Saturday morning to celebrate NAIDOC Week.
The special event, titled ‘COO-EE!’ included live music from Uncle Kutcha Edwards and Uncle David Arden, along with dancing, didgeridoo playing and learning about artifacts and history.
A highlight for many visitors was the opportunity to browse the quality stalls at the Blak Market, which featured arts and crafts from local Indigenous creatives, and to taste some authentic bush tucker.
The event was organised by Yidaki Support Services and Wellways Australia, with support form the Moyne Shire Council.

Everything about bees and their environment
Busy as a bee planting trees!
THERE’S lots happening behind the scenes in winter, and I have been busy planting trees for bees (and birds!). As part of enhancing the local environment for insect pollinators and native fauna, it’s important to choose a range of species that not only provide habitat, but also food sources at all times of the year.
Trees for bees
Bees and other insect pollinators need a range of pollen and nectar sources, and many bird species favour nectar as a food source, as well as seeds that are produced once the pollinators do their work to enable flowers to develop into fruits. Isn’t the web of life amazing!
There are lots of indigenous species to choose here on the Victorian Volcanic Plains (VVP), from the smallest groundcovers and herbs, to the tallest and long-lived trees. For example, ground-covers and small shrubs such as native daisies, flax lilies, or even salt-bush are very attractive to pollinators. In the understorey, or mid-layer, you could include species such as teatrees, banksias, native dogwood, and wattles. In the overstorey, or canopy layer, there are many trees to choose,
Banksia marginata (Silver Banksia) grows as a small tree on the VVP, in contrast to the shrubby form near the coast and in the Otways. It’s crucial for nectar-feeding birds and insects, and the seed cones form an important food source for yellow-tailed black cockatoos
such as manna gum, swamp gum, red gum, as well as larger acacias such as blackwood wattles.
What has the beekeeper been planting?
As part of the tree planting that I have been doing, I have chosen species that have been almost entirely lost from the Victorian Volcanic Plain. Over the past couple of hundred years, these species have disappeared from our landscape from a combination of land-clearing, timber-cutting, browsing and destruction from livestock, soil compaction from stock camping,
Bursaria spinosa (Prickly Bursaria) grows into a gnarled tree on the plains, compared to its shrubby cousin of the Otway forests and hinterland. White flowers in summer attract insect pollinators from far and wide, and the seed capsules (‘purses’, hence the name) provide food for rosellas, yellow-tailed black cockatoos and other seed-eating birds.
nutrient overload, and from being isolated in the landscape with no nearby trees with which to cross-pollinate.
Critically, these species also form important food-sources for nectar-feeding birds and insects, as well as seed sources for birds and small mammals. What are these iconic species, and why are they important?
Much of the native vegetation existed as open woodland or as grassy plains in a mosaic with more vegetated areas. Iconic woodland species have been almost totally lost from the
Drooping She-oak (Allocasuarina verticillata) is a wind-pollinated species, and the male trees become golden brown in autumn and winter as they develop pollen catkins. Pollen is an important protein source for insects. The seed-cones that form on the female trees are a great food source for larger parrot species.
plains, and are found only in a few scattered remnants that are being preserved and propagated to save these species from local extinction. Keen to know more?
If you’re interested in learning more about the iconic species of the woodlands of the Victorian Volcanic Plains, have a look at the work being done by the Friends of the Forgotten Woodlands.

DETAILED SALEYARD REPORT by MLA’s YARDING 2660 CHANGE 780 more
The yarding quality wise was similar to last week over most categories with a percentage of the cows showing the effects of the dry conditions. Not all of the regular processors were active whilst feeder and restocker interest was evident. The offering consisted of 411 grown cattle, 826 trade weights, 1353 cows along with 70 bulls.
The market remained strong over most categories. Grown cattle improved in price 5 to 20c/kg and the trade weights 10 to 15c/kg. Manufacturing types gained an additional 20c/kg whilst most cows improved 20c/kg for the heavy and medium weights with some of the lighter weight cows easing 5 to 10c/kg. Grown bulls were slightly easier.
A small number of vealers topped at 412c/kg with trade weight steers and heifers selling from 310 to 394c/kg. Grown cattle topped at 398c/kg with manufacturing steers selling up to 310c/kg. Heavy beef cows sold from 260 to 348c/kg with the medium weights from 220 to 290c/kg. The better covered dairy cows were selling generally between 220 to 310c/kg with the grown beef bulls making up to 285c/kg. Market Reporter Chris Agnew.

Hamilton agents yarded 8000 lambs and 3,500 sheep at this week’s market representing a decrease of 2,800 on the previous market.
The quality for the lead lambs was similar to last week but overall it was a more mixed offering.
The sheep offering was also mixed with just a few heavy weights with the balance being medium to light weights.
Not all the regular buyers were present or fully active and feeder and restocker interest was more active.
The market was generally firm over most categories with some of the better short skinned trade lambs up to 26kg were slightly dearer in places by $5 to $8/head. 12 to 16kg lambs were $20/head softer in places.
Most of the better lambs to the trade realized between 780c and 920c/kg cwt. The best heavy lambs topped at $294/head.
Light 12 to 16kg lamb sold from $38 to $98/head with the trade weights 18 to 22kg selling from $145 to $199/head. 22 to 26kg sold from $185 to $266/head with hoggets topping at $169/head.
All sheep remained firm to slightly dearer in places and mainly for the lightweight sheep.
The general run of mutton realizing between 450c and 510c/kg cwt. Heavy crossbred ewes sold to $170/head with Merino ewes to $118/head and Merino wethers also made to $118/head.
Terminal sires sold to $38/head with Merino rams to $45/head.

Teams struggle for players
THIS week’s competition at Orford and District Table Tennis saw several teams struggle to field sides.
Some played with fill-in players or only two players.
With Orford’s defeat of Myndarra they could now challenge them for fifth place if they manage to defeat Tarrone in the next round.
Results from week 13:
Attunga defeated Warrnambool Warriors 7.234.15.
A tougher win than the rubber scores indicated when the scoresheet is studied.
Warriors’ Peter Owen was the night’s three rubber winner, while all Attunga players won two rubbers each.
With five extended rubbers, the top game points 20-18 in the Ian Wortley and David Cranwell rubber, with Ian winning 20-18, 12-10 and 11-4.
Attunga won the first doubles 14-16, 11-7, 11-3
and 11-5 while Warriors won the second doubles 13-11, 11-3 and 11-9.
Port Fairy defeated Tarrone 9.28-2.10.
Unfortunately, Tarrone was a layer down so gave away four rubbers straight away – but put up a good performance with four of the seven rubbers played extended.
Fergus Monsborough (Port Fairy) won his three rubbers after withstanding a strong challenge from Tarrone’s David Warhurst 11-6, 11-8, 6-11 and 11-8.
Port Fairy pair, Fergus and Tony Storer, won the doubles 10-12, 11-9, 5-11, 11-9 and 11-7 against David and Peter Johnston.
Orford defeated Myndarra 7.21-4.14.
Myndarra was also down a player for this match.
Aaron Rowbottom (Myndarra) won his three rubbers.
The only extended rubber was between Orford’s Chloe Bartlett and Jensen Rowbottom who was
6-0 down in the fourth game and went on to go down to Chloe, 11-5, 11-8, 9-11 and 12-10.
Next week marks the last of the home and away matches.
Week 14 predictions:
Warrnambool Vikings will take on the Warriors.
The close 6-5 result from earlier in the season may be repeated but the Vikings should come out on top whatever the scoreline.
Port Fairy should come out winners over Glengleeson to consolidate fourth place.
Tarrone should get their second win of the season when they take on Orford (who forfeited earlier in the year).
Attunga will be too strong for the Myndarra youngsters but it should be a great night of table tennis.
MURRAY Smith won last Saturday’s A grade stableford at East Framlingham Golf Club.
With a score of 40 points, Smith finished ahead of Murray Drake 37, Terry Coolahan 32, Matt Smith 31 and Kevin Bourke 29.
The B grade event was won by Bradley White on 42 points, followed by Callum Henriksen 36, John Eccles 34, Ray Eccles 33 and Shaun McLean 32.
The social winner was Ben Nevill while nearest the pins were Murray Smith (3rd and 9th) and Callum Henriksen (6th and 7th).
Henkinsen also won the super pin on the 7th while eagles went to Murray Smith on the 1st and Bradley White on the 8th.
Next week (Sunday) is Captains’ Trophy (stableford).
Deb Cheslett, Helen Hobbs, Pam Dwyer and Les Pearson (s).
UMPIRE
With only one week to go before finals of the pennant season, the final four in divisions one and two are yet to be finalised.
In division one Allansford Lions (3rd) will play Wannon Park Racers (5th). The winner will be guaranteed a spot in the finals, while if the Lions lose they would need bottom side Koroit to defeat Wannon Park Dogs to stay in the four.
In division two, Dennington Dashers must defeat Allansford Panthers to be sure of playing finals, while Port Fairy will need to defeat top side Allansford Leopards or rely on Wannon Park Hounds losing to Allansford Pumas.
Division three will see the top four sides assured of finals play, but the battle for second spot is between Wannon Park Barkers and Cooramook Saints (the Barkers are currently two points ahead).
Both teams will play sides below them next week.

Rangers shine in the wet
SOME of the Warrnambool Rangers’ youngest players shone bright on a rain-soaked Jones Oval last weekend.
The players were quick to adapt to the challenges of a muddy but fast pitch, defeating Hamilton 5-3.
Goals from Harry Sabo, Kianoe Brooks and Callum Stewart, along with two from Miles Reid, secured the points for the side.
The Rangers’ senior women celebrated a season-first victory over the Warrnambool Wolves 3-2.
A Morgan Greene goal, along with two from Anne Davis, on the Jones Oval bodes well for finals soccer.
The division two men’s side travelled to Scotts Creek where they defeated the Corangamite Lions 5-2, with L. Gurry (2), J. Gleisner, B. Chiesa and J. Brincatt all scoring for the Rangers.
Close battle for Challenge title
THIRTY-SIX Warrnambool indoor bowlers travelled to Simpson last Sunday for the third annual Southwest Challenge against the Heytesbury association.
The competition was split into three sections, with three teams of four players from each association in each section.
After three games of 13 ends, the winners and runners-up in each section were announced.
The overall winner was Heytesbury Association, 14-13.
Heytesbury led comfortably after two rounds and despite a Warrnambool comeback in the last round of matches, Heytesbury took the challenge by one game.
Congratulations to all section winners and runners-up.
Section 1:
Winners (Heytesbury) Dawn Hatfield, Gordon Weller, Lyn Payne and Scott Pierce (s); runnersup (Warrnambool) Ann Yates, James Byron, Sue Kerr and Peter Baker (s).
Section 2:
Winners (Warrnambool) Robert Kermond, Jeannette Robbins, Russell Kerr and Barb Draffen (s); runners-up (Heytesbury) Dawn
McDowell, Margaret Ovens, David Childs and Brett Mungean (s).
Section 3:
Winners (Warrnambool) Lyn Fish, Gary Horner, Nettie Ryan and Jacinta Marney (s); runners-up (Heytesbury) Deb Cheslett, Helen Hobbs, Pam Dwyer and Les Pearson (s).
With only one week to go before finals of the pennant season, the final four in divisions one and two are yet to be finalised.
In division one Allansford Lions (3rd) will play Wannon Park Racers (5th).
The winner will be guaranteed a spot in the finals, while if the Lions lose they would need bottom side Koroit to defeat Wannon Park Dogs to stay in the four.

Hole-in-one...again
VERY few golfers have the chance to celebrate a holein-one but for Warrnambool’s Peter Leishman the opportunity has come almost a dozen times.
And last Saturday marked his second hole-in-one in just a matter of weeks – made even more remarkable by the fact it was on a par four albatross.
“Last weekend was on the 8th hole,” Leishman said.
“It was pretty cool to actually see it drop in. I was playing with a group of friends and they were happy to see
it drop as well. I played some good shots on the weekend – but there was some pretty ordinary ones too.
“The previous hole-in-one was on the 13th back in late June.”
The talented golfer, who has been hitting the greens for about five decades, now plays off an impressive handicap of 2 – which, he admits, makes it difficult to win.
“I’m not much of a social player, I much prefer the competition side of the game so I try to play twice a week; entering the Thursday stableford and most Saturday’s at Warrnambool.
“We’re very fortunate to have a wonderful facility here in Warrnambool,
which we all really appreciate.”
It appears ‘the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree’ in terms of sporting prowess – with Leishman the proud father of professional golfer Marc.
“My wife doesn’t play golf but we do try to get over (to the United States) to see Marc and our grandkids at least two or three times a year when he’s back home,” Leishman said.
“Marc has called Virginia Beach home for the last 15 or 16 years or so; he’s just finished competing in Spain and is now in London but we’ll catch up with him when he heads back to the States in a few months.”
Mad Splatter takes MVP
WARRNAMBOOL Roller
Derby skaters once again performed well on the rink.
Last Saturday’s bout saw skaters Eviloffspring and Lady Kill-a-Ton play for the Black Bears in low contact, and debut skater Dragonfly play for the Polar Bears.
Black Bears took the win 297250 in a great display of skill and teamwork.
Monk and The Mad Splatter took on Kingston Rollers as part of TRV, with Kingston taking the win 437-101.
Congratulations to Mad Splatter who took home an MVP award for jamming.
The next round will be hosted by the Warrnambool club at Brauer College on Saturday, August 10 from 9am.
