Letter to the Editor

Al-Anon Family Groups: support for all ages

Dear Editor

My name is Dorothy and I am writing to you about a wonderful program called “Al-Anon Family Groups”.

I discovered Al-Anon in my late ‘50s, a relative latecomer, when my husband and I became empty-nesters.

When our large family had grown and moved out, my husband continued to work harder and longer hours, as his job demands increased.

I felt lonely and lost and really didn’t know who I was any more.

He enjoyed a few glasses of alcohol after work which began to increase.

This affected his personality, coupled with his fatigue, but he believed drinking was his reward after a day’s hard work.

My grandfather had been a heavy drinker which had caused a lot of problems in my childhood and so my fears about our future increased.

My husband was never physically violent but his mood changed after a few drinks and he became mean and nasty.

Eventually, I became desperate enough to call Alcoholics Anonymous and ask for help. They referred me to Al-Anon.

Al-Anon Family Groups’ primary purpose is to offer hope and help to families of problem drinkers in a confidential atmosphere.

Anyone who is troubled by someone else’s drinking is eligible to attend.

Like many others, I went to my first meeting wanting to find out how to get my husband to stop drinking - only to discover that I couldn’t control or cure his drinking and that I didn’t cause it.

Fairly early in my attendance, I discovered that the best thing for me was to focus on myself and slowly began to change my attitude.

Once I accepted that alcoholism is a disease, I could begin to listen to members’ sharing their experience, strength and hope.

They were even able to laugh at themselves and situations which others had also experienced.

I discovered that I could be happy, whether my husband continued to drink or not, and realised I didn’t have to suffer in isolation.

My story is a long one but once I made a commitment to continue attending meetings and adopt other suggestions I heard which had worked for other members, I was able to have compassion for both myself and my husband.

I started to focus on the positive rather than the negative.

Members are not given advice about their home situation, whether to leave a marriage or stay.

That is a personal choice.

I decided to stay but couldn’t have done so without the support of AlAnon.

I have learnt to focus on each day and not dwell on the problems of the past or worry about the future and I am truly grateful for that.

Al-Anon helps me to cope with other people, places and situations, not only the original problem of alcoholism.

Our junior program, Alateen, offers teens who live in a family where a loved one is drinking, ways to cope through peer support.

Two experienced and certified Alateen sponsors, who are also members of AlAnon, facilitate Alateen meetings.

At present these are held online, via Zoom, from north NSW and southern Qld.

Al-Anon has been in Australia, and worldwide, for more than 70 years and has helped many families live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Remember you are not alone.

If your situation is unsafe, please call 000. Members are encouraged to have a plan in case of an emergency in the home.

What can I expect at my first Al-Anon meeting?

You can expect a warm welcome, anonymity (members use only their first name) and members will share their experience of being affected by alcoholism in their families.

No religion is discussed. There is reference to a Higher Power or God of our own understanding.

Al-Anon is a spiritual but not religious program.

New members may speak or just listen if they choose to.

You will be encouraged to attend six meetings to decide if Al-Anon is for you.

A small, voluntary donation is requested to help pay for the hire of the meeting room.

For further information call 1300 252 666 or go to the website al-anon.org.au (meetings are also held online).

Local Warrnambool meetings ae held at the St Joseph’s Church meeting room each Monday from 6.30pm-8pm and Wednesday 12 noon-1.30pm.

New management needed for pool

MOYNE Shire Council is seeking expressions of interest for the future management of the Port Fairy Community Pool and Fitness Centre.

The current committee has indicated it does not wish to continue management of the community-built facility when the current lease expires in 2025.

Mayor Cr Smith said the process aimed to find an

organisation to take over management of the facility to ensure it remained open for community use.

“This process is testing the market, to see if there is an operator interested in taking over the management of the pool and gym,” Cr Smith said.

“Council is working together with the committee to ensure a good outcome for the community and to find a management model that keeps the pool and gym independently managed but supported by Moyne

“This process continues council’s extensive financial support for the committee, which totals more than $3 million in financial and other supports since the facility was opened in 2005 as a community owned and run facility.”

Cr Smith said the expression of interest process would remain open until Wednesday, August 14. Details are available on council’s E-Tender portal.

Clean water for villages

CLEAN drinking water is something most people take for granted, but for those in remote villages of Papua New Guinea it is a luxury very few can enjoy.

But that is gradually changing thanks to the efforts of a dedicated band of local Rotarians and their friends.

Led by director of service projects with the Rotary Club of Warrnambool, Tony Austin, the ‘PNG Project’ has seen hand and solar powered water pumps installed in remote rural villages and communities.

Since the 1990s Rotary Club of Geelong member Anton Van Doornik coordinated several PNG humanitarian aid projects.

Through this work he established several reliable PNG contacts, set up a logistic protocol for container shipping and organised a base for volunteers to work from.

Over the years he involved several other Rotary clubs in the project, including the Rotary Club of Warrnambool and Warrnambool Daybreak.

In 2017 personal commitments prevented him from coordinating the project that year and just three years later he passed way.

Since 2017 the Warrnambool club has coordinated the project, taking advantage of the infrastructure previously set up by Anton.

“Our water provision project has involved teams working in PNG in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2023,” Mr Austin said.

“Several other Rotary clubs have also made significant commitments and together we are making some great progress.

“We have two major focus areas – assisting remote villages and communities to get access to clean water by providing water bores/wells and pumps and, where possible, supporting PNG communities with health and education requirements and general aid.”

They have also grown the project by increasing the number of supporting clubs, organisations and individuals into what is now known as The PNG Projects Group (PNGPG).

Although COVID prevented the team travelling to PNG in 2020-2022, the project

resumed last year.

Typically, a team will spend two weeks to a month in PNG.

Project teams usually consist of five to six volunteers.

“The teams meet all of the PNG related personal expenses themselves, including travel costs, medical expenses and food,” Mr Austin said.

“Project materials are purchased through funds raised and occasional successful grant applications.”

The PNG Projects team (including Rotarians and PNG nationals) have set up an operational base in Popondetta and have worked in and provided clean water solutions and humanitarian aid materials to more than a dozen communities.

“The most significant issue facing the PNG Project is logistic costs,” Mr Austin said.

“For a trip, we send tools, pumping equipment, poly pipe, water fittings and humanitarian items to be distributed to villages, hospitals and schools.

“Generally we send a 20 foot shipping container timed so it arrives at our Popondetta base before the team arrives.”

This cost often amounts to around $20,000 – not including the contents of the container.

In 2021, while the PNG team was attempting a river crossing, their vehicle was swept away.

While all team members survived, the vehicle was destroyed.

“We received partial sponsorship for a replacement vehicle and purchased a second hand 4WD, three-tonne truck and we’re slowly preparing it to send to PNG as funds allow.

“The work we are doing, and have done, over there is quite amazing but we are always looking at ways to raise funds to enable us to do more.

“We welcome all groups and individuals who may wish to get on board and help with this project.”

Anyone wanting further information can contact Tony Austin on 0400 688 941.

Connecting communities

NEXT weekend’s Hampden League clash between North Warrnambool and Koroit will hold extra special meaning for both communities.

Playing for the ‘Connect Cup,’ the Eagles and Saints will come together to remember, honour and pay tribute to loved ones, friends, colleagues and family members lost to suicide.

The game, on Saturday August 3, will be a “ripper one” on-field but, more importantly, off field the two sporting communities will gel as one to encourage open conversations about mental health, and to share stories of those lost.

Instigated by Matthew Jellie, who sadly lost his brother Paul last year, the ‘Connect Cup’ will be awarded to the club with the most games won at the end of the day.

But its significance runs much deeper than on-court and on-field results; it symbolises the importance of reaching out, recognising and celebrating the lives and contributions of those lost, and to encourage open conversations about mental health.

“Brian (White) and Mark (Bowman) are both good mates of Paul and myself and the concept of this day between the two clubs was Brian’s idea,” Matthew said.

“After we lost Paul, we wanted to wait until the dust had settled a bit but we think now is the time to hold an event like this.

“We did the Melbourne marathon last

year, the Run for PJ, and we’re hoping next weekend at Bushfield will also be a good fundraiser towards the Accidental Counsellor project.”

Accidental Counsellor is a one day session, open to anyone wanting to learn some important tools when it comes to dealing with suicide and mental health.

“The one-day session certainly doesn’t make you a qualified counsellor, but what it does do is give participants a few tools on how they can work through grief after suicide and perhaps help others along the journey.

“So far, Run for PJ has funded about 80 program participants in Warrnambool and our goal is to try to get at least one person from every sporting club and business in Warrnambool to go through the Accidental Counsellor program.”

A raffle will be run throughout the day on August 3 and visitors are also encouraged to take along a small momento to remember someone by –whether that be a letter, photo, small trinket or other special item – to place on the Remembrance Table.

“We’re hoping to get a big crowd to Bushfield to not only enjoy the footy and netball, but to share their stories and know that it’s okay to open up and be vulnerable,” Brian said.

“This is our way of connecting people and communities; so many people have been touched by suicide but it’s okay to talk about it. Talking is so important for our overall mental health.”

Games will commence at 10am.

It’s hoped the ‘Connect Cup’ may become an annual event between North Warrnambool and Koroit.2024E

Men’s shed nails it

CHILDREN at Dennington Kindergarten returned from the winter holidays to find two big improvements to their playground.

The first was a brand-new cubby house built by members of the Warrnambool Men’s Shed, while the second was a new concrete loop around the yard.

The loop improves accessibility and also paves the way for more fun on bikes and scooters in all conditions.

Warrnambool City Council service manager early years and development Ebony Grieve said that council was delighted to work with an organisation like the Men’s Shed, which does so much to improve the wellbeing and mental health of members.

“The opportunity to collaborate with the community like that doesn’t come up very often, so it’s a great opportunity for the kindergarten and early services to be able to work with them,” Ms Grieve said.

“The workmanship and commitment to the project has been amazing.

“So far the cubby has been really popular (with the children) and they’ve only been back a short time.”

Warrnambool Men’s Shed president Phil Pettingill said about six or seven members worked on the project, and that they were very proud of their work.

“It’s a high-quality cubby house,” Mr Pettingill said.

“It’s black wood and spotted gum, so it lasts a long time. It’s a natural Australian wood.

“And it’s been coated, so it’ll last even longer.”

He said that the Warrnambool Men’s Shed had about 95 members, with new members, men or women, always welcome. He also said that you didn’t have to be an expert on the tools to join.

“Some people just come along and have a cup of tea and have a chat. And that’s fine. You don’t have to be working in the shed, you can just come along and be a mate,” he said.

“We’ve got plenty of examples over the years where the guys’ health has improved. And you can see the enjoyment the guys get.

“We’re nearly all retired fellas, and we like to pay it back.

“That’s why we all keep coming back; we feel we are doing something worthwhile.”

Plea to carry donor card

PORT Fairy’s Peter Auld is urging all organ donors across the region to ensure they carry their donor cards at all times.

Mr Auld, who donated a kidney to his brother more than 30 years ago, has spoken out in the hope his story will inspire others to consider organ donation – and for those who have already pledged to do so, to carry their donor card.

“I totally understand that choosing to be an organ donor is a very personal thing; it’s not for everyone and I appreciate that,” he said.

“But for those who have agreed to become a donor, I urge them to carry their donor card with them at all times so that, in the unfortunate event of an accident, others are aware of your wishes.”

The youngest of six boys, Mr Auld said, for him, it was a “no brainer” when his older brother needed a kidney and tests revealed he was a perfect match.

“I didn’t hesitate to put my hand up, my brother was ill and needed an organ and I had two perfectly healthy ones so why not?

“I was healthy, I wasn’t on any medication and I was happy to be a donor. But back then there was very little support or information available and I pretty much went through the whole process with many unanswered questions.

“Fortunately, times have changed and there’s so much information readily available for everyone and the support networks are there.”

While his brother remains on anti-rejection drugs, Mr Auld said he has had no major medical issues since the transplant and maintains a healthy, active lifestyle.

“I always try to keep fit; I did a lot of swimming before I donated my kidney and made sure I was in good health back then and have ever since.

“Organ donation is so important and for those considering it, I encourage them to do so. And for those who are on the organ donor registry make sure you’ve got a card and keep it handy.”

Mr Auld’s message coincides with this year’s ‘DonateLife Week’ which runs from this Sunday, July 28 through to Sunday, August 4.

The nation-wide campaign aims to promote awareness and to encourage more Australians to get behind organ and tissue donation.

Research shows that four in five Australians say they support donation, but only about one in three (36 per cent) are registered to be a donor on the Australian Organ Donor Register.

“Registering as an organ and tissue donor could be the reason someone else gets a second chance at life,” Mr Auld said.

Peter Auld encourages all organ donors to ensure they have a donor registry card and to carry it with them as much as possible. 2024D

IT takes less than a minute to register to become an organ and tissue donor.

With around 1,800 Australians currently waiting for life-saving organ transplants, now is the time to join the registry. And you could save up to seven lives.

How to register as a donor

If you want to help, and would like to be added to the donor registry, simply log on to the vicroads website and follow the ‘register online’ tab. Anyone aged 16 and over can register on the Australian Organ Donor Register and it only takes one minute.

Volunteer groups on show

ANYONE looking to join a voluntary organisation was spoilt for choice when they visited last weekend’s Volunteer Expo in Warrnambool.

The Emmanuel Centre was a hive of activity last Saturday as groups from across the region set up displays brimming with information.

The day gave visitors the chance to explore how they could make a positive difference in their communities.

With everything from the CWA and SES through to Story Dogs, St John Ambulance, Lions Club, Relay for Life and Beach Patrol, the opportunities to join a voluntary organisation were varied.

A sausage sizzle and coffee van ensured visitors were well nourished throughout the day.

Southern Stay seeks new CEO

SOUTHERN Stay Disability Services is seeking a new CEO following the resignation of Paul Lougheed.

Mr Lougheed recently announced his resignation, after almost 10 years in the position, and will became the new manager at Gillin Park Retirement Village.

He will leave Southern Stay on Tuesday, August 27.

Board of Directors president Kathryn Emeny said Southern Stay had experienced significant change and growth during Mr Lougheed’s tenure.

“Paul joined Southern Stay in June 2015 and since then has shared his dedication to the disability sector through thoughtful guidance and a genuine care for those that Southern Stay supports,” Ms Emeny said.

“Paul’s leadership and welcoming presence will be missed and he has left Southern Stay in a good position to continue supporting its clients.”

Mr Lougheed said he was looking forward to a new challenge and change of focus, but would miss working in the

disability field.

“Southern Stay is a wonderful organisation with committed people and I have been fortunate to have the right leadership team to support me,” he said.

“Every day I get to engage with participants and residents so it will be a hard role to step back from but it was time for a new challenge.”

Mr Lougheed said Southern Stay was well set up to take the next step in supporting NDIS clients.

“It is in a good financial situation, has a good reputation in the community and has achieved significant progress over the past nine years with amalgamations, new houses for people with disability and rallying together during the Covid period,” he said.

“All staff remain focused on our purpose and providing the care and services that our clients want and need.”

The Southern Stay Board of Directors has started the recruitment process for a new CEO.

Ms Emeny said this was likely to take several months and an interim CEO would be announced shortly.

Paul Lougheed has resigned from his position with Southern Stay and will be the new manager at Gillin Park Retirement Village. 2024E

Record winter numbers at Flagstaff

FLAGSTAFF Hill Maritime Village

has recorded its busiest winter school holidays since at least 2017, with the special Wool Weekend event playing a big part.

There were 2,913 daytime visitors between June 29 and July 14 – up on the already impressive 2,525 in 2023 and significantly up on pre-COVID levels of 2,290 in 2019.

While the sound and light show was quieter this year compared with last year (787 compared to 949) a total of 3,700 day and night visitors still makes this the most popular winter school holiday period since at least 2017, and possibly longer.

Wool Weekend was held on the middle weekend of the school holidays.

It featured traditional blade shearing, wool spinning, dyeing, felting and knitting demonstrations and workshops.

This was in addition to a bumper program of school holiday activities that ran over the fortnight.

“It was a busy school holidays at Flagstaff Hill, with the additional Wool Weekend really popular,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.

“People really enjoyed being able to see all of the different demonstrations and being able to speak with the shearers and the craftspeople.

“Considering it was the winter school holidays, the weather was great and that would have encouraged more people to come and explore the village too.”

Cr Blain said council had adopted a new long-term vision and opportunities plan for Flagstaff Hill, so over the next decade there could be a lot of new elements at the site.

“What’s important to remember is that interactive, hands-on features will always be popular, so it was great that there was a lot to see and do over the school holidays, he said.

Hill has an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars based on over 900 reviews on Tripadvisor. You can find out more about Flagstaff Hill at www.flagstaffhill.com.

Seed funding for innovators

ASPIRING entrepreneurs could win a share of $27,000 in as little as five minutes.

The seed funding is available as part of The Ideas Place Pitch Night, with expressions of interest in the pre-pitch night program, dubbed The Ideas Place Boot Camp, now open.

The boot camp helps participants to refine their innovative business idea, with the chance to then participate in a Pitch Night where they will have five minutes to present their idea in the hopes of winning a share of up to $27,000 in seed funding.

This is the third and final Boot Camp and Pitch Night to be held in south west Victoria using LaunchVic funding secured in early 2023 - and it’s free to take part.

Previous winners include Sherri Symons and her idea to use low-grade wool as an organic fertiliser, as well

as Jean Kerwin and her idea for life writing packages aimed at people with a loved one facing end of life.

Ideas Place facilitator Liz Grant said that ideas didn’t need to be earth-shattering to be viable.

“You don’t need to be the next Elon Musk. It can be something quite simple,” she said.

“With the boot camp, participants produce a pitch deck which is like a summary business plan.

“No matter where they are at, it really helps them to clarify exactly what their offer is, exactly who they are targeting, their goals, and how they are going to reach them.

“It’s a really great experience for people to go through as a next step to help them understand where they are going and how to get there.

“Even if you’re not aiming for the Pitch Night, the boot camp can be a great experience.”

The Ignite Program has also run under the Ideas Place banner, with participants learning about the different aspects of getting a start-up business off the ground.

While many of the participants in the previous two boot camps and pitch nights came through the Ignite Program, Ms Grant said anyone with an idea can apply to join the camp.

“Just because you haven’t done Ignite, it doesn’t mean you won’t get to the pitch night,” she said.

“We had people in the last pitch night who hadn’t done Ignite and even if you’re not sure if your idea has legs, get on board and let’s investigate.”

Applications close at 5pm tonight, Friday, July 26.

Open discussion on death

OPEN discussions on death, dying and grief can sometimes be awkward and confronting.

Warrnambool and District Community Hospice will be participating in ‘Dying to Know Day’ and invites residents to take part.

The day, held annually, is designed to encourage conversations about the one thing all humans have in common – death.

Held each year on August 8, the national campaign empowers all adults to accept and plan on death so that we can live even better in the present moment.

Dying to Know Day aims to help people feel supported and inspired by their own wishes for their final arrangements, and help to dismantle the misconception that end-oflife planning must be a solitary endeavour.

Together we can break down the stigma and sense of awkwardness associated with conversations about death, dying and grief.

Warrnambool and District Community Hospice will once again participate in Dying to Know Day as part of the organisation’s commitment to help local people develop their death literacy, make end of life plans and share them with their families.

It is also an opportunity to learn about end of life and death care options, and to be better equipped to support family and friends experiencing death, dying and bereavement.

On Thursday, August 8 Warrnambool and District Community Hospice will host an End of Life Preparation Workshop at the Archie Graham Centre from 2pm to 4pm.

The workshop is open to all community members curious about advance care planning, power of attorney, wills, and other considerations necessary to adequately prepare for the final chapter of life.

These workshops will be presented by Dr Eric Fairbank, hospice founder and author of ‘The Manual for Living and Dying in Style.’ Bookings for the session are essential and can be made by phoning the Archie Graham Centre on (03) 5559 4800.

The Warrnambool Library and Collins Booksellers Warrnambool will have a display of relevant books available surrounding the time of Dying to Know Day, including the ‘Manual for Living and Dying in Style.’

Warrnambool and District Community Hospice was established in 2010 to address the barriers preventing local people from dying well in their own homes.

The organisation’s key focus is Hospice in the Home, a free community service provided by a compassionate team of staff and trained volunteers.

Hospice in the Home is available in Warrnambool and surrounding areas to support the care of local people with terminal and life-limiting conditions

Sessions for potential council candidates

WITH council elections to be held in October, now is the time to have a role in shaping the future of our local area.

Moyne Shire Council will be conducting information sessions on becoming a councillor, to help prospective candidates further understand the roles and responsibilities of a councillor.

Mayor Ian Smith said a strong, healthy and inclusive democracy is best served by a broad range of skills, experience, views and innovation.

“We’re seeking a diverse range of candidates from across the community,” he said.

“These sessions will help potential candidates understand the responsibilities, the wide range of issues and the time involved in being a councillor.

“The sessions will include an introduction to Moyne Shire, the election process, councillors’ responsibilities and

expectations, support for candidates and a Q&A panel.

“I encourage anyone considering standing in the election later this year to come along so they can make an informed decision.”

Three events across Moyne Shire will be held over the coming months to give the community an opportunity to learn more about serving as a councillor.

These will be held in Koroit, Port Fairy and Mortlake.

The first, ‘Pathway to Council’ will be held next Wednesday, July 31 from 5.30pm-7pm at the Koroit Senior Citizens Centre.

‘Diverse Voices on Council’ will run form 6pm-7.30pm on Thursday, August 22 at the Mortlake council office.

And the third, entitled ‘VCE Candidate Session,’ will run on Wednesday, September 4 in Port Fairy at a time and venue yet to be announced.

Tea and coffee will be provided at each session and bookings and further information can be made by phoning 1300 656 564.

Students help clean-up yard

THE grounds of Allansford Primary School are looking clean and fresh thanks to a recent Clean Up Australia Day activity.

the community pillar of our Saputo Promise – our ongoing commitment to give back to the regions where we operate.”

Year five students took part in a clean-up day alongside five employees from Saputo Dairy Australia (SDA).

Clean Up Australia Day sees Aussies across the country donate their time to help improve the environment in which they work, live and play.

Allansford and District Primary School principal, Wesley Allen, said the timing of SDA’s school visit was perfect.

“Our students were researching waste reduction in the lead-up to the visit from SDA’s environment and research and development teams,” Mr Allen said.

“Before the rubbish clean-up, the SDA team showed our students a short presentation about the evolving work its Allansford team is carrying out in the environmental and packaging space.”

After their dedicated work to collect rubbish across the school yard, students were treated to some tasty dairy products.

SDA regional operations manager (west) Grant Hutcheson said he was pleased his colleagues had made a return visit to the school.

“Last year more than 30 local employees helped clean up the school and the surrounding area so it as pleasing to return in 2024,” Mr Hutcheson said.

“Regularly organising events where we clean up and support our local community is part of

This activity further highlighted SDA’s ongoing local community engagement following its recent partnership with Eat Up to prepare meals for those in need across Allansford and western Victoria.

Solar energy for Southcombe

MOYNE Shire Council is continuing to reduce energy costs at its facilities, with another solar system installed at a key location.

A 39kW solar system has recently been installed at Southcombe Lodge at Southcombe Caravan Park in Port Fairy.

Featuring 90 panels, the system will generate a significant portion of the lodge’s electricity requirements during the warmer months, and even in winter will reduce reliance on the power grid.

Moyne mayor Cr Ian Smith said the system would make a big dent in the electricity usage for the caravan park, the second highest electricity user of all of council’s sites.

“It’s estimated that the renewable energy system will reduce both costs and emissions at the site by 35 per cent,” Cr Smith said.

“Generating clean electricity for our

popular visitor facilities contributes even further to the Moyne Shire environment and the wellbeing of our community.

“Sustainable energy projects like this have a positive impact well into the

future.”

This installation follows four other systems that have been installed at council-run kindergartens across the shire.

Free trees

TO celebrate National Tree Day in 2024, Moyne Shire Council is giving away free trees.

National Tree Day is a great opportunity to maintain and enhance our beautiful environment for local wildlife as well as ensuring the region continues to be a great place to live.

Moyne mayor Cr Ian Smith said council was encouraging residents to get their hands dirty

for the environment, and get the benefits that come from spending time outdoors.

“We will have a range of indigenous native trees available, including species such as Red Flowering Gum and Broadleaf Hop Bush,” Cr Smith said.

“We invite people to come and pick up their free tree at one of our community information sessions across the shire.”

“The info sessions are also an opportunity to talk to our environment team about environmental management in Moyne, and our Waste Education Officer about how council handles household waste,” Cr Smith said

“Residents can also have a chat with our emergency management officer about vegetation management around the home and general fire safety.”

The sessions will be held at various locations and times, including at the Garvoc playground today, Friday July 26 between 10am and 11am.

Containment feeding may protect paddocks

FARMERS across the south west are encouraged to consider containment feeding to protect pastures and paddocks from soil erosion over the next few months.

In making his recommendation to farmers, land management extension officer Clem Sturmfels said paddocks with depleted pasture cover were susceptible to damage – and those most at-risk were on sloping ground with a sandy topsoil.

“Once pasture cover drops below 70 to 80 per cent, damage to soil can occur,” Mr Sturmfels said.

“This damage can be wind erosion, sheet erosion, soil structure decline or a combination of all three.

“Continued overgrazing will also significantly damage pastures, resulting in reduced plant density and vigour.”

He said placing animals in a stock containment area (SCA) was the ideal way to protect paddocks in a dry season when ground cover has diminished.

“Setting up a SCA requires careful planning and design to make them efficient and easier to operate,” he said.

Containment areas should allow two to five square metres per sheep and 10 to 15 square metres per cattle.

Good fencing, appropriate subdivision to separate different classes of livestock, and water troughs with a reliable water supply were also required.

“Managing livestock in a SCA is a significant commitment and requires daily monitoring and maintenance to ensure the nutritional, water and health needs of stock are met,” Mr Sturmfels said.

He believes farmers looking for alternate options to protect their paddocks from soil erosion could consider using a sacrifice paddock or a laneway as a temporary SCA, to restrict damage to a smaller area of the farm.

Farmers are advised to check with a local council planning officer before starting construction of a stock containment area as a planning permit may be required in some situations.

DETAILED SALEYARD REPORT by MLA’s

Total Yarding: 7745 (-3755) Sheep Yarding: 3080 (-420) Lamb Yarding: 4665 (-3335)

Hamilton agents yarded 4,665 lambs along with 3,080 sheep at this weeks market some 3,750 less than last week.

It was a very lack lustre yarding of lambs which was very mixed and plain with only a small percentage of the yarding suitable for the top end of the trade.

The sheep offering was not as mixed and an improvement on last weeks yarding with mainly good Merinos on offer.

Not all the regular buyers were present or actively engaged. Due to price reduction feeder and restocker interest was again active.

The market for lambs was very soft over most categories with light lambs being $20 to $30/head cheaper and the small number of lambs to the trade $10 to $15/head softer.

Most of the better lambs to the trade realized between 750 and 900c/kg cwt.

The best heavy lambs topped at $262/head.

Light 12 to 16kg lambs sold from $16 to $78/head with lambs to the trade 18 to 22kg selling from $145 to $185/head with the 22 to 26kg making from $142 to $214/head. Hoggets topped at $196/head.

Despite a lift in quality, sheep retreated $25/head.

The general run of mutton selling to average between 350 and 430c/kg cwt.

Heavy crossbred ewes sold to $129/head with Merino ewes to $112/head.

Merino wethers sold to $133/head and terminal sires making to $31/head.

Winning streak continues

SOUTH Warrnambool’s All Abilities football team has continued its unbeaten streak, winning both games last weekend.

After 10 games in the Football Integration Development Association (FIDA) western conference competition, South remains on top of the ladder. Round five of the competition in Horsham last Sunday saw South Warrnambool

defeat Grampians Giants by 59 points, 10.6.66 to 1.1.7.

They also defeated Wimmera Whippets, 8.4.52 to 1.2.8.

Finals are scheduled to be played on Sunday, August 18.

And in the Regional All Abilities Netball League competition, the Warrnambool Stingers defeated Wimmera Whippets 37-11 and then went on to defeat Ballarat Bulldogs 34-10.

Unexpected wins on the tables

THE last week of the season has been marked by unexpected wins at Orford and District Table Tennis.

With three of the results 6-5, the final round provided lots of close action.

Warrnambool Vikings suffered their first loss of the year, ending their championship run, while Myndarra caused an upset win when they defeated Attunga.

Tarrone won its second match of the year, defeating Orford, and while Port Fairy may have lost to Glengleeson, they have hung onto fourth by the narrowest of percentage points.

Finals will be played at the Orford Hall, starting at 7.30pm, as well as at the Warrnambool table tennis stadium.

Predictions from ‘Night Owl’ for the semi-finals:

A grade

Second semi-final: With the Warrnambool Warriors back to their normal players, the Vikings will recover from the loss of the previous week to earn the week off.

First semi-final: Attunga has won both matches against Port Fairy this year.

Val, Kelly and Ian Wortley have experience in finals and years of playing as a team while Port Fairy’s Fergus Monsborough is able to defeat all three, the team struggles to win both doubles.

B grade

Second semi-final: Myndarra at full strength earlier in the year was able to defeat Orford, however Orford won when Myndarra was down a player.

Myndarra’s Aaron, Ally and Jensen Rowbottom are a settled team but Orford have played four players, Russel Hussey, Jaydan Clapp, Chloe Bartlett and David Rowbottom, during the year. Depending who is available for Orford, they could just win through to the grand final but Myndarra may have the runs on the board to earn a week’s rest.

First semi-final: Glengleeson will take on Tarrone, with both sides having a win so far this year.

Tarrone relies heavily on David Warhurst to win his three rubbers against Glengleeson’s Gareth Spring, Lindsay Morton and Mark Murray.

Steven Young and Peter Johnston struggle to give a helping hand so Glengleeson should earn the right to play the loser of the second semi-final.

Results from week 14:

Warrnambool Vikings lost to Warrnambool Warriors 5.19.3856.22.395.

With six of the rubbers extend, it wasn’t an early night. Long games also made for long rubbers.

Warriors’ Darren Smith defeated Vikings’ Tess Lee 9-11, 11-7, 12-10 and 11-3.

Warriors then went on to win the first doubles 11-7, 17-15, 4-11, 8-11 and 11-9 but lost the second 7-11, 14-12, 11-9, 9-11 and 9-11.

Gordon Gunn won his three rubbers for Vikings, filling in for Peter Owen.

Glengleeson defeated Port Fairy 6.23.374-5.17.367.

Glengleeson’s Gareth Spring showed his improvement this year when he defeated Andera Drendel, filling in for Fergus Monsborough, 13-11, 11-9, 8-11 and 12-10.

Andrea won an extended rubber against Lindsay Morton 8-11, 10-12, 11-9, 11-6 an d11-6.

Andrea also defeated Mark Murray 4-11, 9-11, 11-4, 11-9 and 11-9.

Glengleeson won the night by winning the second doubles, Mark and Gareth defeated Andrea and Ray Young 7-11, 11-9, 11-7, 5-11 and 11-7.

Tarrone defeated Orford 7.21-4.18.

Some high scoring games meant this match wasn’t as one-sided as scores indicated.

David Warhurst won his three rubbers for Tarrone when he won the long rubber against Orford’s Russell Hussey 11-7, 10-12, 4-11, 11-6 and 11-6.

Peter Johnston won two rubbers while Steven Young one rubber when he defeated Chloe Bartlett 11-7, 11-13, 9-11, 11-8 and 11-6.

Russell was Orford’s best with two rubbers, while Jaden Clapp one rubber defeating Steven 11-6, 17-15 and 11-8.

Myndarra defeated Attunga 6.18.332-5.17.315.

Winning both the doubles set this win up for Myndarra, surviving a scare in the first doubles when they won 11-7, 12-10 and 17-15.

Aaron Rowbottom won his first three rubbers.

The only five game rubber for the night went Ally Rowbottom’s way when she defeated Gus Louny 11-8, 11-5, 9-11, 6-11 and 13-11.

Ladder: Warrnambool Vikings 52, Warrnambool Warriors 48, Attunga 36, Port Fairy 24, Myndarra 24, Orford 16, Glengleeson 16, Tarrone 8.

Close one at Koroit

THE Koroit Saints got within three points of defeating ladder leaders South Warrnambool last weekend.

The Saints, currently sitting fifth on the Hampden League ladder, adapted well in the wintery conditions during what was a lowscoring affair at Victoria Park on Saturday.

The home side got an early jump on the visitors in the opening term, kicking 2.4 to one behind.

The Roosters regrouped in the second quarter and managed to kick 1.5 to bridge the gap to five points by the main break.

Both sides struggled to make any real impact on the scoreboard in the second half, the Saints contained to just an additional behind for the half while the Roosters managed 1.3, sneaking home with a three-point victory.

Final scores South Warrnambool 2.8.20 to Koroit 2.5.17.

Other round 13 winners were Terang Mortlake by five points over North Warrnambool, the Blues defeated Camperdown, the Bombers were 43-point victors over Port Fairy while Hamilton defeated Portland by 63 points.

Three-year deal for squash tournament

WARRNAMBOOL City Council has partnered with Squash and Racquetball Victoria to stage a junior squash tournament in the city for the next three years.

About 40 young players from Melbourne, regional Victoria and South Australia are expected to travel to Warrnambool to take part in the first event from August 17-18.

This event will incorporate a full day training camp with some of Victoria’s best coaches on the Saturday, to increase participation within the junior space of Warrnambool and the south west region.

This will be followed by a bronze junior squash tournament on the Sunday.

Bronze junior events count towards junior rankings and state junior selection.

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said council was happy to work with Squash and Racquetball Victoria to secure tournaments in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

“Especially during the off-peak season, anything we can

do to encourage more people to come to Warrnambool and spend a few nights is really important,” Cr Blain said.

“The great thing about junior sporting events is that the competitors don’t travel alone.

“For every competitor there is at least one adult travelling with them, and in many cases it’s a whole family affair with parents, siblings and other relatives.”

Squash and Racquetball Victoria general manager Dennis Makaling expressed his gratitude to the Warrnambool City Council for partnering with the state squash association and Warrnambool Action Squash Club to host the bronze junior event.

“When we visit regional cities, we like to add as much value as we can for the competitors, as well as for all local players,” Mr Makaling said.

“Prior to the event, there will be a coaching clinic by two high level coaches organised by Squash and Racquetball Victoria for the local junior players in Warrnambool and neighbouring clubs in the region.

“This will be followed by the squash coaches socially

playing with the adult players from the Warrnambool Action Squash Club.”

Warrnambool Action Squash Club president Bevan Sextus said he was looking forward to next month’s event.

“From a local club perspective, we appreciate the assistance of both the Warrnambool City Council and Squash and Racquetball Victoria in supporting this event as we wish to grow and develop our junior participants to ensure the future of squash in Warrnambool,” he said.

“The club has had great support from the Warrnambool Community Development Fund in providing equipment and facility upgrades to aid us in providing easy access to new and beginning members.

“This has also enabled us to partner with local schools as part of their sport and recreation programs to hopefully translate this short engagement into long term participation.”

Players will be in action from 9am until about 4pm on Sunday, August 18 at the Warrnambool Action Squash Club on Timor St.

Admission is free for spectators.

Busy times for indoor bowlers

INDOOR bowlers have been busy over the past week.

Warrnambool’s singles championships were played last Saturday, followed by the Victorian Triples championships in Melbourne on Sunday and the last round of pennant before finals on Monday night.

Twenty men and 15 women competed in the association singles championships, with some great bowls played.

The ladies’ winner was Jacinta Marney who defeated Shirley Hogan in a come-from-behind close final.

The men’s singles champion is Brendan Keane, who also came from behind to defeat George Draffen in the final.
