Seven month-old miniature Dapple Dachshund ‘Ellie’ was a little overwhelmed by the large crowd that gathered at the Port Fairy oval last Sunday afternoon for the running of the 2026 Dachshund Dash – but was comforted by owner Margie Fary of Warrnambool who said Ellie may just line up with the starters next year.

Motorists must be compensated
MEMBER
for South West
Coast Roma Britnell is demanding answers and compensation for motorists after more than $81,000 worth of vehicle damage was reported during roadworks on the Princes Highway at Illowa over just three days.
More than 70 motorists contacted Ms Britnell’s office reporting smashed windscreens, chipped paintwork and other vehicle damage caused by loose stones and gravel left on the highway following road maintenance works.
Of those motorists who have already paid for repairs, the total cost exceeds $45,000.
A further $35,000 in quoted repairs is yet to be undertaken, bringing the known cost to affected motorists to more than $81,500.
Ms Britnell said the true cost was likely to be far higher, with interstate travellers, visitors and local residents yet to report damage or discover the full extent of repairs required.
“At a time when Victorian families are already being squeezed by relentless costof-living pressures caused by a growing tax burden imposed by the state government, the last thing they should be forced to pay for is vehicle damage caused by failures on
a state-managed road,” Ms Britnell said.
“This incident raises serious questions about government management of the roadworks. Motorists suffered damage while no loose stone warning signs were in place.”
She claimed the stones were then swept from the road, and only afterwards were warning signs erected.
“That sequence of events points to a serious failure in roadwork management and requires a full explanation.
“My office was inundated with reports from affected
motorists, including damage to buses, private vehicles and even a Victoria Police highway patrol vehicle.”
She said she had alerted the Insurance Australia Group about this event and the number of effected motorists, raising the possibility of collective action to identify accountability.
“It is unreasonable that individual drivers may be forced to pay insurance excesses for damage caused by the government’s failure to properly manage roadworks,” she said.
“If a member of the public is responsible for a road incident, they must be held responsible.”
She also questioned why affected motorists were being pushed towards the VicRoads compensation process when many claims may fall below insurance excess thresholds, leaving drivers to bear the cost.
Ms Britnell is calling on the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to immediately investigate the incident, explain why appropriate warnings were not in place, and establish a process to fairly compensate every affected motorist.
Accident highlights growing safety concerns
AN accident on the Hopkins Highway near Bushfield last week has renewed community concerns about safety along one of the region’s busiest transport corridors.
The incident comes less than a month after another serious crash at the intersection of Spring Flat Road and Hopkins Highway, and follows several other incidents reported by local residents in recent years.
While the Connecting Warrnambool campaign was initially established to advocate for safer walking and cycling connections into Warrnambool, community feedback is increasingly highlighting broader concerns regarding road safety along the Hopkins Highway/Mortlake Road corridor.
“Many families originally joined the conversation because they wanted safer pathways for children and young people to access school, sport and community activities,” Connecting Warrnambool spokesperson Elise McKinnon said.
“However, what we’re now hearing repeatedly is that residents are also deeply concerned about the safety of the road itself.
“Last week’s accident could have been far worse, with the vehicle narrowly avoiding a power pole.
“It follows a number of incidents along this stretch of road that local residents say demonstrate the need for urgent attention.”
More than 200 community members have already participated in the Connecting Warrnambool survey, with respondents highlighting concerns around road safety,
accessibility, traffic volumes, speed, cycling safety and the lack of alternative transport connections into Warrnambool.
The community is calling on all levels of government to work together to improve safety outcomes for residents and visitors using the corridor.
“We need safe pathways for our children, but we also need a safer road for every person who uses it,” Ms McKinnon said.
“As our region continues to grow, this corridor is becoming increasingly important. The community is asking for a long-term vision that improves safety, connectivity and accessibility for everyone.”

Helping the environment.....one nappy at a time
DISPOSABLE nappies can not only be expensive but also harmful to the environment – with one discarded nappy believed to take years to breakdown.
That’s where the south west cloth nappy library can play an important role in the lives of families across the district.
The nappy library, set to be relaunched early next week by local mums Anna Heinrich and Kat Taylor, is a free service providing cloth nappies free of charge.
“We have hundreds of nappies in stock, clean, sanitised and ready to be shared,” Anna and Kat said.
“Parents and grandparents are welcome to come in and pick up as many as they need, use and wash the nappies and return them once finished with.
“The nappies are returned to us washed and cleaned but we also wash and fully sanitise them so they are safe and ready for the next bub.”
The nappies are fully adjustable and are ‘one size fits most’, catering for very small babies through to those approaching toddler age.
“We are both very passionate about the use of cloth nappies because they are not only a cheaper alternative to disposables but they are much better for the environment,” Kat said.
“Cloth nappies are certainly not for everyone, and we appreciate everyone has different beliefs and needs, but for those considering using cloth nappies we’re here to help.
“This is a totally free service. Some people may be looking at using cloth nappies just occasionally, others may look for full-time use.
“The south west cloth nappy library was the brainchild of Natasha Wills a few years ago and after a short recess we’re now
eager to get it up and running once more.”
The nappy library can be found inside the Warrnambool Breastfeeding Centre on Koroit Street.
Anna and Kat will be at the centre next Tuesday from 10.30am for an information
session on cloth nappies and the free nappy library.
“We’d love to see parents and grandparents at the centre next week,” they said.
“We can talk about the service and how
great these cloth nappies really are; they are great at preventing leaks particularly overnight. We can all save some money while doing our bit to help the environment at the same time – we think it’s a win-win all round.”
Anna Heinrich and Kat Taylor (with five month-old Felix) are next week re-launching the south west cloth nappy library.
A rtists work to echo through time
ONE of the world’s most ambitious public art projects would not have been possible without the ingenuity of a Warrnamboolraised artist.
The ‘Clock of the Long Now,’ which is currently under construction, is designed to keep accurate time for 10,000 years.
The mechanical clock is over 60 metres tall and built within a hole drilled into a mountain in a remote part of Texas.
At noon each day, 10 clock bells will play a unique melody that’s never repeated over the 10,000 year lifespan of the clock.
Music industry icon Brian Eno designed a musical scale for the bells that made sense of the resonance of the confined space in the mountain, but that scale needed bells smaller than typical European church bells at each pitch if they were to fit into the clock mechanism.
And that’s where Dr Anton Hasell came in.
“They needed someone to invent a bell that was half the size of every other bell at the same musical pitch, so they asked if I could do that,” Dr Hasell said.
The solution was to design a bell sounding a “difference tone”.
This is a bell in which the multiple frequencies making up its sound are arranged in a very particular way that allows the ear to hear a pitch that is an octave lower than any frequency in the bell itself.
This “psycho-acoustic” pitch is generated in a listener’s ear.
It is a technique that large pipe organs use to generate notes lower than the largest pipes they have.
No one was sure if it could work with a bell.
After months of painstaking research and trials, Dr Hasell found a bell profile (inside and outside bell shape) that generated a difference tone pitch.
“Working with Finite Element Analysis engineering, and tuning test castings with
the careful mapping of changes in the frequency array from changes in the bell’s profile allowed me to, finally, tune a bell that rang with a difference tone,” he said
“That was a joyful eureka moment.”
The ethos behind the Longnow Foundation’s 10,000 Year Clock project is to challenge short-term thinking and to encourage people to better consider future generations.
It’s a mindset that resonates with Dr Hasell, who has created dozens of public artworks, with perhaps his best-known public artwork being the Federation Bells Carillon in Melbourne’s Birrarung Marr, which was commissioned to mark the centenary of Federation.
“When I have been commissioned to create a public-space artwork I become very obsessed with the design and fabrication processes,” he said.
“Strangely though, whenever I visit a public artwork I have created it is no longer feels like mine, it has become part of the community that commissioned it.”
Dr Hasell’s path from Warrnambool to becoming an internationally recognised bell designer, sculptor and public artist has been anything but conventional.
He will share his story as part of the ArtsACTION project tonight (Friday, June 12) at Hotel Warrnambool from 5pm.
Facilitated by JumpLeads and supported by Warrnambool City Council, Regional Arts Victoria and Fletcher Jones Family Foundations, the program aims to help Warrnambool creatives build practical skills to support their practice such as promotion, collaboration and planning.
Dr Hasell said he was looking forward to meeting more Warrnambool artists, and said that his experiences as a young artist in the city in the 1960s and early 70s stayed with him.
“I had school friends as consumed by

artmaking as myself and I remember fondly, on balmy evenings, walking around the Reid Oval engrossed in discussion on what made art good,” he said.
“It was a really beautiful time, and a wonderful place, to be a young person with emerging ideas about the meanings of being alive in our mysterious, magical world.
“That’s the thing about Warrnambool. It has always been a place of innovation. There’s something in the Warrnambool air (not just salt) that encourages a dreaming mind to test borders and conventions.”
He believes that at one time or another, we all stand at the end of the pier looking out into the sea-haze of an unlimited horizon.
“I’m excited to share my experiences and my advice about being an artist.”
The event is free to attend, but RSVPs are essential. Visit events.humanitix.com/anton_hasell. ArtsACTION project.
Regional Arts Victoria south west regional manager Stacey Barnes said ArtsACTION was a great opportunity for local creatives.
“This kind of strategic support, aligned with our regional priorities, plays an important role in helping creatives establish viable practices and deepen connections across communities,” she said.
“Investing in skills, networks and professional development is key at every level of the sector.”

Olive collection exceeds 1100kg
FRUIT Rescue’s 2026 south west olive harvest has seen more than one tonne of locally grown olives collected and processed into 176 litres of olive oil.
The initiative, now in its second year, expanded collections across Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Koroit and surrounding areas, making it easier for more people to take part.
Whether by picking a bucket of olives from their backyard tree, hosting a small harvest with friends, or dropping off a grove’s worth of olives to a collection point, scores of people contributed to the success of the project.
Together, 1125 kilograms of fresh olives was collected.
Fruit Rescue director Courtney Mathew said the project was designed to give people a simple, practical way to contribute to their community.
“Not everyone has time to volunteer regularly, but this is something tangible people can do,” Ms Mathew said.
“Picking a few kilos of olives might feel small, but when it all comes together it has a real impact.”
More than 60 sites were harvested across the region, with volunteers and contributors of all ages involved.
From organised picking days to spontaneous contributions from passers-by and visitors, the harvest brought together a wide cross-section of the community.
“At one site, some people were visiting from the Mornington Peninsula walking down the street and saw the harvest happening,” Ms Mathew said.
“They thought it was a really cool project and asked if they could help so of course we said yes.
“They happily plucked some fruit to contribute. Even on holidays, people are willing to share their time for a project they can see the value in.”
Once collected, the olives were processed by Grampians Olive Co., turning a scattered and unused resource into a high-quality local product.
The project fills the gap in the local food
system, creating a pathway for produce that would otherwise go unharvested, to be processed and shared locally. In keeping with a low-waste approach, all by-products from the pressing process are repurposed, with organic material returned to farms or used as animal feed.
Participants in the harvest will receive a share of the oil, with the remainder available to purchase at the Warrnambool Community Garden Wednesday afternoon market on June 24.
Funds raised will cover the costs of the project and support Fruit Rescue’s ongoing work in food redistribution and improving access to fresh, locally grown produce.
Since its launch in 2023, Fruit Rescue
has redistributed nearly eight tonnes of produce across the region.
This helps to reduce food waste while strengthening local food networks.
This represents over $60,000 value that is returned to the community from
Moyne Shire Council Community Update
volunteer efforts.
“Following strong participation this year, we plan to offer the olive harvest again in 2027, building on a model that turns small, local actions into lasting community benefits,” Ms Mathew said.

Turning the wheels on men’s health
EMMANUEL College
kicked off Men’s Mental Health Week today (Friday) with an energetic and interactive challenge designed to get both bodies and conversations moving.
The college’s ‘Turning the Wheels on Men’s Mental Health’ initiative involved five spin bikes operating continuously throughout the school day today, with students and staff working together to keep the wheels turning.
Participants signed up for 15-minute riding sessions and competed within their house groups to ensure there was never a break in the action.
The challenge was designed to encourage conversations around mental health while highlighting the importance of supporting one another through life’s challenges.
Adding to the day’s impact, the team from Headspace was on site to engage with students and provide support and information about mental wellbeing.
The event marked the beginning of a week-long focus on men’s mental health, with a range of challenges, activities and interactive opportunities planned during recess and lunchtime throughout the week.
Emmanuel College spokesperson for the campaign and men’s health advocate Ben
Walsh said it was encouraging to see so many young men getting involved.
“One of the most important things we can do is show up for our mates and have
conversations when things aren’t going well,” Mr Walsh said.
“It’s fantastic to see so many students stepping up and getting involved in this challenge.
“By supporting each other and
breaking down the stigma around mental health, we can help turn the tables on the future of men’s mental health.”
As the wheels continue to spin
throughout the day, the message remained clear - no one should have to face their struggles alone, and sometimes a simple conversation can make all the difference.
Year 12 students Sam Anderson, Harry Sanderson, Hamish Lane, Max Clancey and Jenson Jago keep the wheels turning.
Finding “home” in big-hearted town
WHEN Deepesh Baskota left Kathmandu, Nepal, in 2008 as a 21-year-old international student and came to Australia, he never imagined that a regional Victorian town would one day become the place he’d proudly call home.
Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, is a vibrant and bustling city filled with people, traffic, culture, and constant activity.
Before moving to Warrnambool in 2013 with his wife, the couple had been living in Sydney and were accustomed to city life.
Relocating to a regional town was a completely new experience for them both. They arrived in June, right in the middle of winter.
The cold winds, hailstorms, and quiet streets of Warrnambool were a stark contrast to everything they had known.
“To be honest, my first thought was that we would stay only until our visa situation was sorted and then return to Sydney,” Deepesh recalled.
“Finding work was not easy. While my wife was working, I spent my days walking from business to business, handing out resumes and looking for opportunities but months passed without success.
“We had no friends, no family nearby, and at the time I couldn’t find another Nepalese family living in Warrnambool. The days felt long, and the isolation was challenging.”
Eventually, Deepesh secured a job as a housekeeper, and that became the turning point.
“My colleagues welcomed me warmly. People were curious about where I came from, the Nepalese culture, and the food we eat,” he said.
“I enjoyed sharing stories about my homeland and introducing workmates to Nepalese cuisine. What began as workplace friendships gradually turned into something much deeper.”
Many of those colleagues remain close friends today and are like family to the Baskota’s.
“They supported us during our early years in Warrnambool and helped us feel that we belonged. Through those friendships, I learned more about Australian culture, values, and community spirit,” he said.
“One of the things that stands out most about Warrnambool is its people. I have always enjoyed meeting new people, and the friendliness and openness of the local community made it easy to build connections.
“Over time, I developed many lasting friendships and became increasingly involved in community life.”
Today, he works as a community support worker - a role that allows him to support people in living independent and fulfilling lives while building meaningful connections within the community.
“I find this work both rewarding and humbling,” Deepesh said.
“Alongside this, I co-operate a Nepalese food truck business with friends called Hashtag Momo – Taste of Nepal. Through food, we have the opportunity to connect with people from all backgrounds and share a small part of Nepal’s rich culture.
“Food has a unique way of bringing people together, and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone try Nepalese dumplings, known as momos, for the first time and love them.”
Beyond work, Deepesh is also proud to serve as president of Warrnambool Nepalese Community Inc.
“Alongside a dedicated team of volunteers, we work to support the growing Nepalese population across Warrnambool and south west Victoria,” Deepesh said.
“Our goal is simple. We want to help people feel connected and supported while preserving the culture and traditions that are important to us.
“Over the year, our community has organised cultural festivals, social gatherings, sporting events, and family activities that bring people together.
“We have also established social groups including bhajan and kirtan (Hindu devotional musical traditions) gatherings, community sports programs, and are working towards developing parent and children’s groups where young people can learn Nepalese language, culture, traditions, and values.”
Deepesh believes these activities help new arrivals settle into the region while ensuring that the next generation remains connected to its heritage.
“The Nepalese community in Warrnambool continues to grow, and I am proud of the contribution our people make to the wider community,” he said.
“Many Nepalese residents work in healthcare, disability support, aged care, hospitality, agriculture, manufacturing, and other essential industries. They are hardworking, community-minded individuals who proudly represent Nepal while contributing positively to regional Victoria.”
Deepesh added that, looking back, the town that once felt cold and unfamiliar has now become the centre of his family’s lives.
“It is where we’ve built friendships, started a business, raised a family, and found a sense of belonging.
“And I sincerely thank the people of Warrnambool and the surrounding communities for their kindness, support, and willingness to embrace cultural diversity. Your openness has helped create a welcoming multicultural community where people from different backgrounds can thrive together.”
After more than a decade in Warrnambool, Deepesh can confidently say that Warrnambool is home.
“It may be a regional town, but it has a very big heart,” he added.
“And for my family, there is no better place to be.”
Plug the potholes
Where are they?
MOTORISTS across the district are increasingly finding themselves dodging large potholes on our roads.
As the number of potholes continues to rise, so too does the size of many.
Now, on a daily basis, we hear of tyre blowouts and expensive vehicle damage from motorists who were simply unaware of the approaching holes or unable to “dodge” them safely.
This week we begin a campaign urging motorists to give a ‘plug’ to these potholes – where are they and when did you encounter them?
We want to work together, with motorists, to inform others of where they are.
Simply let us know where these are by emailing news@warrnamboolweekly. com.au or text 0427 992 784.
* Please state the pothole location, your first name and town; and if you can safely pull over and take a photo, please submit these too for publication.
YOU CAN TEACH IN REGIONAL VICTORIA
The future is calling, and we need your help to educate the next generation. With secondary teaching scholarships, employment-based degrees, and a range of supports to help get you into the classroom, there’s never been a better time to become a teacher in Victoria.
From false starts to mid-race Dachshund Dash
THE mayhem and laughter of the annual Dachshund Dash returned to the Port Fairy football ground last weekend.
The running of what was believed to have been the 19th ‘Dash’ once again attracted a huge crowd of curious onlookers, eager to cheer on the four-legged entrants – all in the name of fun (and the glory of having the winner’s name engraved on the trophy).
There were plenty of turn-arounds, some nervous non-starters and a few false starts among Sunday afternoon’s heat races, while those who qualified for the finals were eager to return to the starting line.
In the under two category for Dachshunds, Theo and George Wear (visiting from Maryborough) celebrated victory with their pet, ‘Monty’ who led the field across the line.
The winner of the over two years category was first-time entrant, ‘Miles,’ owned by Windy He from Melbourne.
The veterans’ class was won by ‘Winter,’
owned by Sinead Grey of Warrnambool.
In the all breeds section, golden retriever ‘George’ was first across the line much to the thrill of his proud owners Susan and Steve Dean from Lorne.
Adding a touch of excitement and variety to the entertainment, hungry visitors Ben Evans (Port Fairy), Luke Smith (Timboon), Darcy Woolley (Koroit) and Will Jane (Kirkstall) tackled the challenge – and each other – of eating six cooked sausages as quickly as they could within three minutes.
Bragging rights now rest with popular winner, Darcy Woolley, who was first to polish off his plate.
And celebrating all things ‘sausage,’ Jens Ambjerg from the Village Bakehouse in Port Fairy produced a sausage roll he had baked earlier - hoping its length would match that of the dog judged longest on the day.
“I actually had to add another sausage roll to the end because I didn’t make this one long enough,” he said.
The ‘longest dog’ honours went to ‘Ralph’ who measured at about 83cm from nose to tail.

Danni DiTella was visiting the area from Pascoe Vale with her pet ‘Penelope.’

Clever ideas utilising leaves
WARRNAMBOOL Floral Art group members had fun with leaf manipulation in their recent designs. The group produced some interesting pieces, highlighting a variety of leaves. The next meeting will be held on Monday, July 6 at the home of a current member (yet to be confirmed). New members most welcome. For more information phone Judith on 0419 671 080.
School on track for term three opening
THE much-anticipated opening of the South West Tech School is on track for term three.
The school, located at South West TAFE’s Warrnambool campus, will provide a state-of-the-art learning environment for an anticipated 7,500 students from 26 schools across the district and beyond.
Member for Western Victoria, Jacinta Ermacora, toured the school late last month and was impressed by the facilities.
“Thanks to Labor, local students will be able to stay ahead of the game, with access to industry-standard facilities for STEM learning,” she said.
“Only Labor is delivering education opportunities for local students who open their eyes to career pathways they may never have considered.”
Ms Ermacora said that “no matter their postcode” every child had the right to a world-class education at a Victorian public school.
“Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) knowledge is becoming increasingly valuable, so the state government is giving young people the opportunity to learn in a state-of-the-art tech school closer to home.”
The school will welcome students from Warrnambool, Corangamite, Glenelg, Moyne and Southern Grampians.
“STEM jobs in health, agriculture, clean energy, sustainability and artificial intelligence are in demand, and soon local students will meet that,” Ms Ermacora said.
Community Hub strengthens connections
AN important venture to connect, support and strengthen its multicultural community was recently launched in Warrnambool West.
Warrnambool West Primary School and South West Healthcare last week launched
the ‘Bridging Our Community Hub.’
The hub was the brainchild of Melinda Hitchcock and Karen Holdsworth, designed to bring together multicultural families living in Warrnambool, creating a welcoming space to build relationships, share experiences, access local information and connect with support services.
Through fortnightly sessions held at the school, families will have opportunities to network, develop connections and feel a stronger sense of belonging.
In partnership with local services, the hub aims to break down barriers, celebrate diversity and foster an inclusive environment where every family feels
valued and supported.
“The launch marks the beginning of a growing community network built on connection, understanding and togetherness in Warrnambool,” Warrnambool West Primary School principal Karen Holdsworth said.
Michaela and Jan from South West TAFE along with Wannon Water’s Emma Arnott, Melinda Hitchcock (South West Healthcare), Tammy Innes (Wannon Water), Karen Holdsworth (principal, Warrnambool West Primary School), community members Akio Cuevas and Denise Dalton, and Jill Bourke (West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House).
Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora recently enjoyed a tour of the new South West Tech School now nearing completion.
Amelia Wawrzon wins 2026 Aria
A STUNNING performance from Amelia Wawrzon has earned her the 2026 Warrnambool Aria.
Amelia, one of 11 entrants in last weekend’s Aria competition, entertained a near-capacity crowd at the final at Christ Church Warrnambool last Sunday.
The two-day event showcased some highly talented local and visiting artists.
Doncaster’s Alexander Owens was
awarded the Chris Hayes Memorial Trophy on Saturday.
This is awarded to a first-time participant who doesn’t make the final, and is in memory of the eisteddfod’s late convenor, Christine Hayes who passed away unexpectedly in 2023.
The prize covers entry fees, travel and accommodation for two people to the value of $600 – so the winner can return and compete in next year’s event.
Alex is heading to Geneva in July to further his studies but said he was keen
to return next year.
Saturday’s championship section was won by Isabella Hincksman who returned to Australia (for the competition) from the United States where she is currently studying.
She was also named a finalist and was awarded an honourable mention in the final.
Southbank’s Hartley Trusler was named winner of the Lieder (the first session on Saturday) which was from a German repertoire.
He also received the encouragement award after finishing second in the final on Sunday.
The eisteddfod was officially opened by deputy mayor, Cr Matt Walsh.
Liane Keegan was the event adjudicator and Phillipa Safety the accompanist.
After another successful weekend, organisers are now busy planning for the 50th anniversary of the event, to be held in 2027.

Members of
Hamilton agents yarded 8,500 lambs ( an additional 3,500) and 3,500 sheep (increase of 1,500) this week compared to last week’s offering.
Lambs at the top end were grain supplementary fed however quality dropped away much quicker this week.
As a result there was a larger tail of lambs at the bottom end suitable for feeding on or returning to the paddock.
Not all of the regular buying group were present and not all were fully active.
Buyers were again very selective.
Very good medium to lightweight trade lambs remained firm however most other classes were softer by $10 to $20/head.
Trade lambs averaged in a range between 1,070 to 1,300c/ kg cwt topping at $400/head.
Suitable lambs to feed on generally made between $216 and $293/head.
Light lambs 12 to 16kg sold from $170 to $230 while trade lambs weighing 18 to 22kg made $230 to $293/head.
Lambs in the 22 to 26kg range sold from $275 to $320 and heavier trade lambs made from $318 to a top of $400/head.
Hoggets reached $306/head.
Sheep eased back by $20 to $25 to average between 800 to 930c/kg cwt.
Crossbred ewes sold to $318 with Merino wethers to $245 and Merino ewes with a skin to $275/head.
Terminal rams made to $176 and Merino rams to $182/head.

Pickleball action in Warrnambool
Umpires celebrate special milestones
FOR football umpires Jamie Lake and Andrew Lougheed, last weekend’s round marked special milestones in their time with the whistle.
For Lake, last Saturday’s Warrnambool and District League senior football clash between Merrivale and Kolora Noorat marked his 950th game as an umpire.
“I’ve been umpiring for about 40 years now and I still enjoy it; I’m not a fan of training but I do love Saturday’s, it’s a great way to keep fit,” Lake said.
“I was about 14 when I first took up
a whistle, I never played the game but always followed it and was keen to learn how to umpire. All my games have been with the Warrnambool umpire’s group.
“When I first started we only had one field umpire and thankfully I was only doing the juniors back then; now we always have two and sometimes three.”
And for Lougheed, who officiated at the Hampden League’s round eight clash between Warrnambool and Terang Mortlake, the day marked his 400th game as a field umpire.
“It’s a great way to stay involved with the sport (umpiring); I was never much of
a player as a kid, I was more of a runner so this suits me better,” Lougheed said.
“When I add up all my games with the whistle, I’m actually only about three games shy of 500 games as an umpire.
“I first picked up a whistle running the boundary as a junior in 1987 and in 1996 the umpires’ association started a junior program. I headed to Melbourne for a short stint for work before returning to the district with a young family in 2013 and I’ve been umpiring ever since.”
Lougheed’s teenage sons, Michael (16) and Aaron (14) also share their father’s passion for football umpiring and are
currently developing their skills in both the Warrnambool District and Hampden leagues.
“Michael recently ran his first Hampden league senior boundary which was a great effort; both boys share my passion which is great to see.”
Other umpiring milestones last weekend included Hampden League boundary debuts for Sophie Wrigley, Connor Boneham, Xavier Wearne and Akich Padiet.
Jackson Porter also officiated his 50th game as a boundary umpire.

City to host Open Border Challenge
WARRNAMBOOL Kyokushin Karate Club will next month host the Knights Refrigeration Warrnambool Open Border Challenge.
The event, a major regional martial arts tournament which brings together competitors, families and supporters from across Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, will be held on Saturday, July 4 at St Pius School Hall (Morris Road) from 10am.
For more than a decade, the club’s sister dojo, Portland Kyokushin Karate Club, has successfully hosted the Portland Open Border Challenge which attracts competitors from throughout south-eastern Australia.
Due to growing participation and interest, the event will now alternate between Portland and Warrnambool, with Warrnambool set to host the event next month.
According to Sensei Natalie Jorgensen, dojo operator with the Warrnambool Kyokushin Karate Club, the event will attract competitors from across Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.
“The Open Border Challenge has become an important event on the regional karate calendar, and bringing it to Warrnambool is an exciting next step,”
she said.
Founded in 2013, Warrnambool Kyokushin Karate Club has built a strong reputation for developing disciplined, respectful and community-minded martial artists.
The club focuses on helping students of all ages build confidence, resilience and leadership through Kyokushin Karate.
Kyokushin Karate, originating in Japan, means ‘the ultimate truth’ and is practised by more than 15 million people worldwide.
A special feature of the event will be the official attendance of Hanshi Gary Viccars, branch chief of the organisation and one of Australia’s most respected senior Kyokushin Karate instructors.
His attendance highlights the importance of the event within the broader Kyokushin community.
The event will feature four structured divisions.
Kickstart is an introductory category for beginners and younger students focusing on participation, confidence and basic skill development;
Non-contact is a technical division where competitors are judged on speed, timing, control and technique without physical contact;
Colts (padded) is a transitional division using
protective equipment, allowing controlled contact while developing ring experience and safety awareness; Full contact division is the highest level of Kyokushin competition featuring controlled full-power striking under Kyokushin rules, testing endurance, discipline and spirit.
The event also provides competitors with the opportunity to build friendships and connections across the Australian Kyokushin community.
Funds raised support athletes attending seminars, training camps and competitions across Australia and overseas.
“This event reflects our commitment to providing opportunities for students to challenge themselves, develop confidence and connect with the wider Kyokushin community,” Sensei Jorgensen said.
“We are honoured to welcome Hanshi Gary Viccars to Warrnambool for this inaugural tournament. His attendance reflects the importance of the event and provides encouragement to all competitors and officials.
“We look forward to welcoming athletes, families and visitors from across the region and showcasing both the spirit of Kyokushin Karate and the strength of our local community.”

The night saw David Buck throw a 19 dart game while both Michael Brittain and Erich Wagner threw 20 dart games.
Despite their loss this week, the City Slickers’ mother and son duo, Julie Newell and son Steve, continue to enjoy playing doubles together.
“Steve was just three years old when I started playing darts,” Julie said.
“I played darts with my father when teams played at The Grand Hotel, Lady Bay, the Tatts Hotel (where McDonald’s Central now is) and even at the pub in Dennington.
“I love being able to play darts now with my son as my doubles partner.”
