A $1.2 MILLION investment in the Brierly Precinct, an extended pool season and an upgraded hockey pitch were some of the welcome inclusions in Warrnambool City Council’s 202324 budget.

The budget, which was adopted by councillors earlier this week, includes $9 million of new allocations to council’s asset renewal program and a $1 million upgrade of the hockey pitch at the Albert Park sports precinct.

The $1.2 million allocated for the Brierly Precinct will be

spent on upgrading the eastern oval including improved playing surfaces, two soccer pitches, drainage, irrigation, lighting and fencing.

Funds also cover preliminary design and costings for a new accessible sports pavilion as well as research into the need for a potential community hub.

Council’s newly adopted budget includes a rate increase of 2.95 per cent, a capital works program of $27.2 million and a $250 rate rebate for eligible ratepayers.

Mayor Debbie Arnott said it was a responsible budget that recognised cost of living pressures and sought to look

after council’s existing assets while ensuring the ongoing delivery of much-needed council programs and services.

“We want to ensure we can maintain or renew the assets we have and we’ve made a new allocation of $9 million to renew or maintain our existing assets including roads, drainage and buildings,” she said.

“While the Victorian Government rate capping would have allowed a rate increase of 3.5 per cent, we’ve prepared a budget that recognises the cost of living and includes a rate increase that is well below inflation.”

Letter to the Editor

COMMUNITY OUTRAGE

Dear Sir,

The community in Terang have shown their outrage at the closure of their local aged care facility, the May Noonan Centre, without notice or consultation. They should be outraged. This closure was not only contrary to assurances given to the community by Lyndoch Living, but it was also entirely avoidable.

“As a coastal city, we see our peak tourist season over summer, but for those of us who live here, or who travel here during the quieter months, there is still so much to enjoy and experience.”

Participants can enter multiple times however the content of each submission must be unique and relate to a different attraction, event, business or iconic location.

Entries close on Sunday, July 23.

The finalists will be announced on Monday, July 24, with public voting to be open for one week.

To read the full terms and conditions, and to submit an entry, visit www. warrnambool.vic.gov.au/wininwinter

But this is not the real reason that May Noonan had to close.

May Noonan closed not simply because Lyndoch Living had neglected it for so long, but because Lyndoch had gotten itself into such a financial mess in Warrnambool that something had to give.

So, in order to save its Warrnambool base, Lyndoch has found it more expedient to close May Noonan.

Lyndoch Living purchased this facility in 2018 to great fanfare, it would be upgraded and modernised. Instead, little money was spent and the facility allowed to deteriorate.

Lyndoch Living’s grandiose master plan has failed, its primary health care centre (phase two of the master plan) is haemorrhaging money and the Terang community is being forced to pay the cost.

Opinion sought on sought offshore turbines

COASTLINE spanning from South Australia through Warrnambool has been proposed as Victoria’s second declared region for offshore wind turbines.

The proposed area for the offshore wind farm spans the Southern Ocean Region, 10 kilometres off the coast of Port MacDonnell in South Australia and spanning past Portland, Port Fairy, Killarney, Dennington, Warrnambool and through to south of Childers Cove.

Members of the community will have a 60-day consultation period (until August 31) to provide feedback which could shape the proposal.

Minister for Energy and Resources

Lily D’Ambrosio attended the region on Wednesday with Federal Minister for Energy Chris Bowen to announce the consultation process to be undertaken before a decision is made by the Australian Government.

“We welcome the addition of a second offshore wind zone in Victoria and want to ensure Portland and surrounding communities can harness the benefits of our renewable energy transition,” she said.

“Victoria is blessed with rich renewable sources, including our windy coastlines, this will help us achieve our renewable energy target of 95 per cent by 2035.”

Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora said the potential to further the transition to renewable energy was exciting.

“This is an exciting day for western Victoria as we undergo a once in a generation energy transition,” she said.

“We’ll be making sure the local community continues to be at the heart of process as consultation unfolds.”

The proposal states the specific location and number of turbines within the area has yet to be specified as the declared area allows companies to apply for licenses to explore the potential for establishing a project within its boundary, however states any proposed projects will undergo a “rigorous Environmental Effects Statement processes”.

The declaration of the Southern Ocean Region zone was made in support of the Andrews Labor Government’s targets for at least two gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity by 2032, 4GW by 2035 and 9GW by 2040.

The industry is expected to create more than 6000 jobs and generate billions in investment.

Offshore Wind Energy Victoria (OWEV) will continue to work with local Traditional Owners to discuss the potential zone and ensure future development of offshore wind in the area is undertaken in genuine partnership.

OWEV will assist the community through the consultation process, making sure it is informed and has every opportunity to participate and influence the location of the final declared area.

The recently announced Victorian Transmission Investment Framework will ensure environmental, land-use, cultural and social factors are considered early in the process to inform locations for new transmission projects across the state, including new transmission that is needed to connect offshore wind farms to Victoria’s grid.

‘Responsible’ budget maintains services

Continued from front page.

Hardship provisions have been bolstered for eligible ratepayers and include an increase in the rates rebate of 25 per cent to $250 for eligible ratepayers.

“We hope this is a significant help for those ratepayers who might be doing it tough and would more than offset the average residential rates increase of $65.75,” Cr Arnott said.

“Where possible we have made only minimal changes to our fees and charges. For example there are no change to dog and cat registration fees.

“During the budget consultation phase we received a compelling submission from the Warrnambool Swim Club seeking an extension to the outdoor pool season so its members could train for regional and national competitions.

“We took that on board and have extended the pool season which we believe will be of benefit to the wider community in addition to swim club members.”

The capital works component of the budget is $26.7 million which includes $1.2 million of additional investment in the Brierly Precinct; $600,000 on council’s CBD footpaths and carparks program and $500,000 for a new West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House building.

Completion of the Japan Street major drainage upgrade project; and year two of the joint “Coastal Connect” shared IT enterprise system with Corangamite and Moyne shires also featured in the budget allocations.

“We still have a number of important projects underway such as the McGennan amenities block to be finished by the end of October,” Cr Arnott said.

“When it comes to larger single capital works projects we’re really in an investigation stage, in particular with a view to the long-term future of the Warrnambool Art Gallery and AquaZone.”

No new borrowings have been budgeted in 2023-2024 and current debt levels remain within the Victorian Auditor-General’s low risk range.

Warrnambool mayor Cr Debbie Arnott believes the budget is a ‘responsible’ one. 2023E

NAIDOC Week celebrations

THE history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will be celebrated during NAIDOC Week activities.

Moyne Shire Council will support events across the shire in line with the week’s theme ‘For Our Elders’ which explores the importance of elders as cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers and advocates.

Mayor Karen Foster said it was important for council to acknowledge and celebrate the Indigenous culture of the region.

“NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth,” she said.

“We are proud to present these opportunities for our community to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.” Free local activities have been planned for several locations across the shire.

A special community event will be held at Port Fairy’s Reardon Theatre on Monday, July 3 from 2.30pm-3.30pm.

This will begin with a ‘welcome to country’ ceremony followed by Ngakee Wanga Toompa (look, listen, feel) with Brett Clarke – a Gunditjmara/Kirrae Whurrong storyteller who will bring to life an ancient dreaming story delving into the themes of past, present and future.

Afternoon tea will showcase native Indigenous ingredients from Worn Gundidj.

A free community event will also be held at the Tower Hill cultural centre on Saturday, July 8.

Children’s art workshops will take place between 10am-11am (children 4-10 years) and 11am-12 noon (10+ years).

The workshops will be led by Tracy Roach, a proud Kirrae Whurrong and Bundjalung woman and artist. As spaces will be limited for both sessions, bookings are essential and can be made at www. portfairywinterweekends.com.au

Also on July 8 at Tower Hill, a ‘welcome to country’ and smoking ceremony will take place from 12.30pm-1pm and a Tower Hill cultural wildlife tour will run from 1pm-3pm (bookings preferred).

Council’s NAIDOC Week activities are funded through a grant from the National Indigenous Australians Agency.

Trader feedback sought

KOROIT traders are being encouraged to offer feedback to Moyne Shire council on the next steps for the township renewal project.

Following a meeting with representatives of the Koroit District Progress Association, council officers are seeking broader feedback from traders and residents on Commercial Road and High Street.

Mayor Karen Foster said there were two options on the table.

“Option one is to use the $1 million allocated to the project to complete the bluestone footpath on the north side of Commercial Road, between the IGA and the Woolsthorpe Road intersection. That work could begin in November this year,” she said.

“At the same time a further $1.5m would be allocated to enable council to apply to the federal government’s Growing Region’s Fund for matched dollar-for-dollar funding.

“If the funding application was successful, we would then spend $3 million to complete the footpath on the south side of Commercial Road between Micky Bourkes and the theatre as well as works in High Street as far as the bowls club.”

Cr Foster said option two involved using the allocated $1 million as well as a further $1.5 million allocation to apply for matched funding which, if successful, would deliver a $5 million project.

“Under this option bluestone footpaths would be completed on both sides of Commercial Road from the Village Green through to the Woolsthorpe intersection and works would be completed on High Street to the bowls club,” she said.

“Under this proposal work could begin around the middle of 2024. If the funding application wasn’t successful, we would then reassess the funding available and begin works. In the meantime we would complete maintenance repair works to the existing footpaths.”

Cr Foster said this was a significant project and council was now seeking feedback in the immediate area to ensure their views were captured in the decision-making process.

“We’ve sent letters to traders, residents and building owners in the immediate project area seeking their feedback on their preference between the two options. Once we have that feedback, we will take the next steps,” Cr Foster said.

Exhibition now on

THE Merri View Gallery is currently hosting the Warrnambool and District Artists Society’s 28th annual awards exhibition. The exhibition was officially opened by Warrnambool mayor Debbie Arnott last Friday night. The exhibition is the highlight of the year for the group whose members display new works in a variety of genres.

Local professional artist Kathryn Ryan was the judge this year – awarding prizes from over 100 pieces in the categories of watercolour, oil, acrylic, pastel and mixed media

The Stephen Benham Memorial prize for birds and

animals was won by Gwyn Taylor and the Maureen Healey Prize for best floral art was awarded to Lorraine Deppeler.

The ‘Best in Show’ winner of the prestigious Judith Watson Trophy was Ricky Schembri. These annual awards provide over 70 members of the society with the opportunity to showcase and sell their works while gaining recognition of their artistic talent.

Over many years at this annual event, WADAS has collaborated with the charity, Water for East Timor (WET), with proceeds from the sale of tickets from the opening night going towards the dedicated

work of this local group in providing clean water and sanitary systems to villages in Timor-Leste.

Ella Baudinette won the WET award for the best painting featuring water.

WET member Policarpo congratulated Ella and presented her with a traditional Timorese Tais.

The exhibition is open for viewing and sales each day from Saturday, June 24 until Sunday, July 9 from 12 noon-4pm.

The gallery is located in Coramba Court, Warrnambool.

Gallery admission is free.

One foot after the other

Warrnambool will be all the more walkable by the end of next month thanks to the construction of three new footpaths.

New paths are currently being built on Mortlake Road between Breton Street and the Russells Creek path, on Simpson Street between Verdon Street and Raglan Parade, as well as through Wavelinks Park between McGregors Road and Wanstead Street.

Warrnambool mayor Debbie Arnott said these projects would add about 600 metres to Warrnambool’s footpath network.

“The aim of these new footpaths is to make it easier and safer for people to choose walking as a mode of transport,”

she said.

“Whether it’s walking to school, to work, or to the shops, walking offers a broad range of health, environmental, economic and social benefits.

“We know that people are passionate about their footpaths, and we know there is more work to be done.

“Our Principal Pedestrian Network Plan involved feedback from hundreds of people and has helped us to identify a lot of the projects needed, and we will continue to work with local neighbourhoods to refine priority projects on an ongoing basis.”

The Simpson Street footpath is funded by the Victorian Government’s Department of Transport.

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) is funding two wombat crossings in Breton Street (due to be built soon) which will complement the new Mortlake Road footpath.

“Where we can combine funding from our own budget with grants from other levels of government, it means we can build more infrastructure in less time, and that’s obviously a great outcome for our residents,” Cr Arnott said.

“I’d like to thank the Victorian Government and the TAC for their investment in creating a safer and more walkable Warrnambool.”

All three footpath projects are expected to be finished by the end of July.

Variety fundraiser Sunday Sunday

ALL roads lead to the Panmure Hotel this Sunday for a special fundraiser for Variety – the Children’s Charity.

Panmure local Jake Dumesny is hoping to raise as much money as possible in the lead-up to this year’s Variety Bash, which will be held from August 16-25 – with participants driving from Melbourne to the Gold Coast. This Sunday’s fundraiser will begin in the car park of the hotel at around noon, with entertainment, food, hot drinks and a colourful and interesting display of cars from various local clubs.

Local band Buzzard Breath will provide entertainment throughout the afternoon.

The Apex Club of Terang will keep hungry visitors satisfied with a barbecue and there will also be a coffee van serving your favourite hot cuppa.

“We’re hoping a lot of people will come out and enjoy the day and donate what they can,” Mr Dumesny said.

“There’ll be several historical cars to look at, the band will be playing, the barbie will be going and (hopefully) the

sun will be shining.

“There will be donation tins and a raffle; every donation, big or small, will be gratefully received.”

This year’s Variety Club Bash will hold extra special meaning for Jake, whose father Reg was tragically killed in a car accident early this year.

He will take part in the Bash in honour of his dad – who last year raised more than $43,000 for the charity.

Mr Dumesny will drive his dad’s beloved HR Holden alongside uncle’s Max and Bill.

A rally, not a race, the Variety Bash is a fundraising adventure through regional Australia with a group of likeminded legends.

This year’s theme – which is certainly fitting for the Dumesny family - is ‘All things Motoring’ and, as such, the route will incorporate a lap of the historic Winton Raceway.

Beginning in Phillip Island, the cars will wind their way through Benalla, Shepparton, Yass, Dubbo, Nelson Bay and Coffs Harbour before arriving on the Gold Coast on August 25.

Moyne budget adopted

MORE than $24 million in capital works have been approved as part of the 2023/24 Moyne Shire budget, including lighting at Victoria Park.

Earlier this week councillors adopted the budget, which will deliver more than $14 million worth of improvements to the local road network.

Mayor Karen Foster said there were 32 submissions received from the community during the feedback period on a range of issues.

“In response to those submissions we have allocated a further $125,000 towards lighting at Koroit’s Victoria Park and $20,000 towards development of a masterplan at Mortlake’s Aberlea aged care home,” she said.

“We are also going to do further investigation on a footpath along Ocean Drive in Port Fairy and look to have that project included in future budgets.

“I thank everyone who made a submission, the adjustments we have made to the budget reflect the importance of these projects to the community and work towards delivering

on our council plan.”

The budget also adopts a 3.5 per cent increase in the general property rate, in line with the state government’s rate capping policy.

Cr Foster said the budget reflects cost of living challenges and the economic climate.

“In the last year inflation levels have continued to rise which has had a significant impact on council’s expenditure,’’ she said.

“Costs are rising for councils, just as they have in the supermarket and at the petrol pump.

We were facing significant increases in costs, well above the rate cap, but thanks to the hard work of our staff and budget restraint exercised by councillors, we’ve mitigated those impacts while still maintaining our ability to deliver effectively for our communities.’’

Cr Foster said council was committed to maintaining the service levels its community expects and maintaining infrastructure, but was also determined to do that in a way that represents best value for money for Moyne Shire ratepayers.

Council performance rated above average

MOYNE Shire council continues to perform at, or above, the state average in the majority of areas according to community feedback.

Community satisfaction with the council remains steady, as reflected in the annual community satisfaction survey.

Results showed Moyne was rated significantly above the state average in a number of key areas including overall performance, value for money, appearance of public areas, lobbying, business and community development and emergency and disaster management.

Moyne was also above the Large Rural Shire category average in a number of key areas.

Mayor Karen Foster said the results reflected the hard work of council’s teams.

“Each day our team comes to work looking to do the best they can for the community we serve,” she said.

“I’m particularly proud of high scores in overall performance, value for money, customer service and appearance of public places. It shows that we are on the right track and that the work we are doing is appreciated by the community we serve.”

Cr Foster said despite the strong results

there was still room for improvement.

“That’s particularly evident when it comes to the results for roads. We understand the community’s concerns and are again making a significant investment in the road network we maintain.

“More than $14 million is allocated to the local road network in the 2023/24 budget and follows on from a $11 million investment in 2022/23 and $10 million in 2021/22.”

Cr Foster noted there were about 600 kilometres of state-controlled roads in the Moyne Shire – the main roads people are using everyday – that council has no control or management of, and were not responsible for their maintenance.

“We share the communities’ frustrations with the condition of those roads and are continually advocating to the state government for significant investment to make improvements to the conditions of roads they have responsibility for,” she said.

The Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions conducted the local government community satisfaction survey (CSS) which was undertaken using independent contractors, randomly selecting 400 residents aged over 18 (including mobile phone numbers).

Library accolades continue

THE new Warrnambool Library and Learning Centre has won another two major architecture awards.

The library, situated in Kepler Street on the South West TAFE campus, was recognised with a Public Architecture Award and the Regional Prize at the recent Victorian Architecture Awards.

The awards were hosted by the Victorian chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects.

The institute’s judges said the vision for the new library was attentive, generous and transformative, combining the adaptive re-use of the heritage Orderly Room.

The judges also said the building was “compelling and beautifully detailed, mediating its context with a thoughtful scale and palette. The structural solution is clever, the concrete curves of the façade appear weightless in contrast to the heavy heritage context.”

“Wall to window ratios provide an efficient thermal envelope, allowing for intimate occupation within the façade depth between framed views and regulated daylight,” they said.

Warrnambool mayor Debbie Arnott congratulated the architects, Kosloff

Architecture, and the team from council and TAFE staff who worked on the project.

“These are hotly contested and prestigious awards and the judges have recognised the effort and consideration that have gone into this unique building,” she said.

“Ultimately, the library has also won over the judges who really count (members of the Warrnambool community) who have been coming to the new library in droves to borrow books, attend special events, use the technology or to simply spend some time quietly reading in comfort.”

Architect Julian Kosloff said while all of the buildings vying for awards were beautiful, a key measure of the library’s success was the positive effect it had on the Warrnambool community.

Mr Kosloff said locating the public library within the TAFE campus contributed to a “great pollination” which occurs in these public places.

The library opened its doors to the public on October 13, 2022.

The $20.25 million library was funded by the Victorian Government ($16.3 million), Warrnambool City council ($3.12 million) and TAFE ($830,000).

West turns a shade of blue

THE West turned blue last week.

Warrnambool West Primary School students were given lessons in kicking, handballing and team-work when players from Carlton Football Club’s AFLW side paid a special visit on Thursday.

The two clinics, held on the school oval, saw students take part in various warmups, skills practice and games before a ‘question and answer’ session with the players.

It is believed the players were in town as part of a training camp.

ROAR

IT is an important time of the year for Lions clubs when office bearers are installed for the 2023-24 Lion year.

Port Fairy-Belfast will hold its changeover evening on July 5 when Lion Henry TollerBond is installed as president.

Other district club changeover dates known include Koroit on July 11, Macarthur July 17 and Terang July 21.

The Mortlake Lions Club held its changeover evening on June 22.

In recognising the growing humanitarian needs in the district, Port Fairy-Belfast Lions will donate the proceeds of its very successful Winter Weekends program to the District FoodShare program.

The club will determine whether the donation will be in cash or essential food items.

The club has completed its annual smoke alarm battery changeover program.

This program, which has been active for quite a number of years, ensured smoke alarm maintenance for the district’s aged and infirm.

Under its emergency Lion assist program, the club also responds to calls concerning smoke alarm battery failures throughout the year.

Proposed changes to the Meals on Wheels program and the possible changes to delivery methods, have raised some concerns from members who have been involved in the voluntary delivery of meals for almost 40 years.

A Lion spokesman said that the program was not only satisfying in ensuring meal deliveries to elderly and needy but also provided valuable insight into other elderly needs where the club might assist.

Ever thought of becoming a Lion? No, not one of the beastly jungle roarers but an active member of your local Lions club?

Membership is open to men and women over 18 and husband and wife teams are great.

It is not a demanding membership – we abide by the rule that family and work are a priority over club activities.

Service members also enjoy some wonderful fellowship and fun.

Talk to a local Lion if you are interested. Holidaying in or visiting Port Fairy?

On Tuesday mornings the male members (no it isn’t a gender thing - the ladies think it is a great idea) meet at 10.30am at the Hub Café for coffee, a yarn and a laugh, and usually remain there until about midday.

The group would always be pleased to see and welcome you if you are in the Port.

Suffolk feature at Sheepvention

SUFFOLK will be the feature breed at this year’s Hamilton and Western District Sheep Show.

As part of Sheepvention 2023, the sheep show is expected to attract more than 500 entries.

A prolific, early maturing sheep with excellent mutton carcasses, Suffolk are energetic and the whole carriage is alert, showing stamina and quality – and they produce quality meat.

Suffolk convenor Lucy Cook is eager to see the breed featured.

“I think it’s going to be a really good turnout of Suffolks this year. Being the feature breed, it will get a few more studs onboard who haven’t previously exhibited at Sheepvention,” Ms Cookj said.

“We had about 70 Suffolks attend in 2022, so we’re expecting even larger numbers at this year’s event.”

The ‘Merinos and Ram Sale’ will this year return to its original position in the ram shed, with the interbreed and junior judging to take place in the sheep pavilion throughout both days.

The Sheep Tech hub, previously located on the corner of Shakespeare and King Street, will be incorporated into the northern end of the sheep pavilion, following the change in event layout.

Sheepvention president David Botterill said he was looking forward to the change.

“We’re really excited about the new layout, incorporating all aspects from our sheep show exhibitors to our commercial breeders,” Mr Botterill said.

“Being co-located in the sheep pavilion for the first time will bring areas together and allow a one-stop-shop for all interested stakeholders.”

Any young and eager agriculturally focused students are encouraged to attend The Midfield Group Careers in Ag and VAS Junior Judging in the sheep pavilion on Monday from 9am. Students will have the opportunity to hear from a number of industry leaders, to expand their knowledge and get a greater understanding of career pathways in agriculture.

The winner of the junior judging competition will proceed to the VAS state finals at the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show in 2024.

Entries for the sheep show close today, Friday, June 30.

Sheepvention Rural Expo will be held on Sunday, August 6 and Monday, August 7 at the Hamilton Showgrounds. For more event information and to purchase tickets visit www. sheepvention.com.

Disability inclusion on the agenda

RESIDENTS are invited to take part in a community information session focussed on discussing improved accessibility and inclusiveness for people living with disability.

Moyne Shire council is developing a new Disability Access and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) aimed at making its communities more accessible and inclusive for people living with disability.

Residents are invited to get involved by participating in a focus group session. This session will be facilitated and run by

Get Skilled Access, a disability inclusion consulting firm founded by wheelchair tennis champion, Paralympian and 2022 Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott.

The session will be held as a 60-minute webinar at 6:45pm on Thursday July 27.

A link will be sent prior to the webinar after registration of interest.

This focus group will be an online discussion with four categories of questions which align with council’s four pillars, and the same four pillars of the Disability Act

These are inclusive communities; health, housing and wellbeing; fairness and safety;

and opportunity and pride.

These pillars aim to have actions that work towards reducing barriers to persons with a disability accessing goods, services and facilities, obtaining and maintaining employment, and promoting inclusion and participation in the community.

They also aim to support achieving tangible changes in attitudes and practices which discriminate against persons living with a disability.

Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster said the focus group would have a conversational style and be a safe and secure place for

people to speak openly and be listened to.

“Council encourages everyone to contribute to this process, to help it meet the diverse needs of people with disability who live, visit or work in Moyne Shire,” Cr Foster said.

“We want to focus on what accessibility and inclusion looks like to all stakeholders.”

Registration of interest can be made at https://www.moyne.vic.gov.au/Your-Say / Disability-access-and-inclusion-action-plan.

Places are limited and registrations will close at 12 noon on Wednesday, July 26, unless booked out earlier.

Last Wednesday’s result:

MORE than 80 special guests enjoyed a ‘thank you luncheon’ for carers and recipients in Warrnambool yesterday.

Care providers from across the district and their recipients came together for an afternoon of shared stories and laughter at the City Memorial Bowls Club.

Andrew

Suggett, chairman of the

Warrnambool Combined Health Support Network, said the event was a “wonderful way to thank care providers, recipients and health services for their contributions.”

“This was our first free luncheon for many years and we are hoping it will become an annual event,” Mr Suggett said.

“Our support network incorporates many health services and health providers across

the wider Warrnambool district who offer a wonderful service to recipients of all ages, whose needs are wide and varied.

“This includes everything from stroke and prostate cancer through to Parkinson’s, myeloma, arthritis, movement disorders, mental health – there’s a wide spectrum of chronic diseases that fall under our umbrella.”

According to Mr Suggett, this week’s luncheon was one way the Warrnambool Combined Health Support Network could recognise and thank all those involved in care giving across the local community.

“As a recipient myself, I know the important role that carers play in the lives of recipients,” he said.

“We (the support network) are here to let people know there is assistance available and we can help guide them towards those resources.”

The network is in the process of organising an expo, to be held at Warrnambool’s Civic Green sometime in November.

“Once the date has been set we will let the community know,” Mr Suggett said.

“This will be an ideal opportunity for all our wonderful health care providers and support groups to set up a marquee or stand and keep the community informed of what’s available.

“Last year’s expo was very successful and I’m sure this year’s will be even better.”

Winter Solstice Winter Solstice Thousands celebrate Solstice

WARRNAMBOOL City Council’s Solstice Search Party has lived up to its billing as “the biggest party of winter” with over 6000 people attending on Saturday night.

Held in the Warrnambool Botanic Gardens, the event featured an array of neon sculptures, light installations and displays, kids’ activities, live music and food vans.

This figure has surpassed the inaugural event last year, where

about 5000 people attended.

The party was preceded on Friday night by the Solstice Searching scavenger hunt, which saw neon sculptures hidden throughout Warrnambool.

Warrnambool mayor Cr Debbie Arnott said the feedback received so far was positive.

“Everyone had a great time and they really appreciated having such a high-quality event to be able to be a part of in winter,” she said.

“Over 25 per cent of registrations

were from outside the 3280 postcode, so we can see that this is an event that brings people to Warrnambool during our off-peak season, which is very important.

“While we avoided a downpour, it was certainly a cold day, and there were a couple of showers here and there, but everyone came prepared with warm clothing and rain gear and a little bit of rain failed to dampen spirits.

“I’d like to congratulate our events team on putting the Solstice Search

Party and the Solstice Searching scavenger hunt together, as well as the talented people from One Day Studios, Karen Thomson, Raglan Presents, The Nature Bus, the food vendors and the 20 businesses involved in the operational delivery of the event.

“There’s a lot that goes into the successful running of an event this size, and everyone has worked together wonderfully to bring about such a marvellous result for Warrnambool.”

Second win for Blues

WARRNAMBOOL’s senior women’s side enjoyed its second win of the season last weekend.

The Blues enjoyed a well-earned 60-point win over the Stawell Warriors at home last Sunday.

The home side worked hard in the first half to keep the Warriors scoreless while making the most of its scoring opportunities to go into the half-time break with a handy 35-point lead.

The Blues’ momentum continued in the second half, adding a further four goals for the term while only allowing the Warriors one major.

Final scores were Warrnambool 9.12.66 to Stawell 1.0.6.

Best for the Blues were Isabel Moorhead, Hannah Utri, Kaitlin Willsher, Lucy El-Hage, Lauren Cousins

and La Toya Folima.

Utri and Katilin Willsher both kicked two goals for the Blues, while Emilie Carey, Lauren Cousins, Georgia McCullagh, Hayley McDonald and Sophie Wrigley added one goal each.

In other round 10 women’s matches last weekend, Hamilton defeated Tyrendarra and South Warrnambool had a 33-point win over Horsham.

Round 11, to be played tonight (Friday) will see South Warrnambool take on Warrnambool at Friendlies Society Park and Hamilton host the Horsham Demons.

In the under 18s female competition, to be played this Sunday, Portland will host Terang Mortlake, Hamilton will be home to the Blues and Horsham will travel to take on Cavendish.

Nirranda takes control

NIRRANDA firmed up its number two spot on the Warrnambool District ladder last weekend with a The home side took control early in the match on Saturday, making full use of the ball and converting in front of goal to boot 7.5 in the opening term while restricting the Cats to two majors.

The Cats struggled to make any real impact on the board for the remainder of the game, kicking three points in the second quarter, scoreless in the third and adding one goal, two in the final

term.

Nirranda showed why it’s a strong finals contender, booting six majors in both the second and third quarters and finishing with four in the last.

Final scores were Nirranda 23.28.166 to Allansford 3.6.24.

James Willsher, Luke Irving, Isaac Stephenson, John Paulin, Hugh Giblin and Jackson Couch were best for Nirranda while Aiden Gordon, Zach Jamieson, Ben Lee, Wayne Parry, Robert Hare and Cooper Day were best for the Cats.

Nirranda’s Isaac Stephens was strong

in front of goals, booting six for the day, and was ably supported by team-mate Luke Irving with five.

Other contributors to the board were Jarryd Walsh (3), Tyler Coates (2), Brady Kew (2), Jackson Couch, Toby Dalton, Hugh Giblin, Jack Primmer and James Willsher.

Allansford’s Brady Coutts, Flynn Gleeson and Robert Hare scored one goal apiece.

Other results from round 12 saw Kolora Noorat big winners over Dennington, Old Collegians lost to South Rovers, Panmure fell to Merrivale and Russells

Creek had a big win over the Timboon Demons.

With the bye round tomorrow, round 13 (to be played Saturday July 8) will see Dennington host Old Collegians, South Rovers home to Panmure, Allansford will host Timboon while Russells Creek will meet Kolora Noorat.

In what is sure to be one of the games of the round, Merrivale will host Nirranda in a top-of-the-table clash.

Nirranda will be looking to bridge the two-game gap between themselves and the undefeated Tigers.

Orford and district table tennis

THE dreaded winter flu season has played havoc with Orford and District table tennis teams this week.

This resulted in a forfeit by the Warrnambool Warriors to Glengleeson.

A loss this week saw Myndarra drop out of the four and with only Glengleeson as a potential win in the next three weeks, moving back up the ladder seems an uphill battle.

Week 11 will see the Warrnambool Vikings play Attunga.

Unfortunately no matter how long the games and rubbers are, how late the night is, or how close the rubbers, games and points are, Warrnambool Vikings will take home the night’s four points.

Orford will play Port Fairy. Due to the long absence of Russell Hussey from the Orford side, Port Fairy should win this game.

Orford has had few nights this season with both Russell and David Rowbottom playing.

Tarrone will meet Glengleeson.

Glengleeson won earlier in the season when Gareth Spring succeeded in the last rubber of the night when the scores were tied at 5-5. They should take home the points this week again, as they have proved the stronger team so far this season. Warrnambool Warriors should sing a happy tune on the way home after their game against Myndarra. Results from week 10 were as follows:

Myndarra lost to Warrnambool Vikings 8.25-3.10.

Aaron Rowbottom was Myndarra’s winner, while all Warrnambool Vikings won two rubbers.

Attunga defeated Orford 9.32-2.8.

Both Val and Ian Wortley won their three rubbers while David Rowbottom and Jayden Clapp were Orford’s winners.

The association wishes Russell Hussey a full recovery and look forward to seeing him back at the table next season, if not sooner.

Port Fairy defeated Tarrone 1.25-4.14.

Tarrone’s David Warhurst won his three rubbers, and teamed with Peter to win a close double against Port Fairy’s Ray Young and Tony Storer 2-11, 11-7, 13-15, 11-4 and 11-7.

David later went on to win a five-game rubber against Ray 11-9, 9-11, 11-8, 10-12 and 14-12.

Glengleeson won on a forfeit over Warrnambool Warriors.

The unofficial ladder is: Warrnambool Vikings 40 points, 93 rubbers and 288 games; Attunga 36, 81, 260; Warrnambool Warriors 24, 63, 207; Port Fairy 20, 47, 171; Myndarra 16, 46, 153; Glengleeson 12, 41, 179; Orford 12, 41,149 and Tarrone 0, 25, 115.

Saints on the march

REIGNING premiers Koroit are once again on the march, sitting fourth on the Hampden league ladder and only a game away from second spot.

The Saints sit a game and a half clear of the Cobden Bombers in fifth and no doubt have their sights set on yet another flag. With the table tightening at the top, led by South Warrnambool Roosters, the run to the finals is sure to be an exciting one with only two games separating the top four sides.

The Saints had a great day out at Hanlon Park last weekend, restricting Portland to just one point for the first half while going on a kicking spree in front of goals, booting 17.6 by the main

While the Tigers were able to regroup at the break and add three goals to the board in the third term, the Saints’ momentum continued, adding four goals two.

The final quarter saw the Saints pile on another five majors to finish at 26.11.167 to the Tigers’ 4.2.26.

Alex Pulling, William Couch, Mac Peterson, James Gow, Dylan McCutcheon and Jyron Neave were among the best for the Saints. William Couch booted eight goals for the victors while Matthew Bradley contributed four, Talor Byrne three, and two each from Liam Hoy, Jyron Neave, Paddy O’Sullivan and Frazer Robb.
