Donation unites community

MERRI River students are one step closer to enjoying a new outdoor space thanks to the generosity of Bega Koroit and the Koroit Irish Festival.

The school was last Friday the proud recipient of a generous $30,000 donation from the festival committee and Bega.

According to Merri River’s multidisciplinary team member Jodie Carey, the money will be used towards the construction of an outdoor amphitheatre, the first stage of which will include a ‘Yarning Circle’.

Yarning circles invite everybody to participate on equal standing, learn as a collective of people with different ideas and cultures, and create respectful and appreciative relationships.

These circles have been used across Indigenous communities for thousands of years and act as a conversational process for storytelling and sharing knowledge.

“This donation is greatly appreciated by our school and will see work start on our yarning circle, along with associated landscaping,” Ms Carey said.

“We are extremely lucky to be so well supported by our community to ensure the best possible learning environment for our students.”

The school is hoping construction work on the new outdoor area will start at the end of this term, with completion by the end of next term (weather permitting).

“Our Hands-On Learning students are also eager to help out with this project and I’m sure everyone will be excited to see the first stage (Yarning Circle) take shape,” Ms Carey said.

Speaking at last Friday afternoon’s school assembly on behalf of Bega, Peter McDonald said the company was excited to be a part of this cocontribution alongside the Koroit Irish Festival Committee.

“This co-contribution with the festival committee is something we are very excited about and very proud

to be involved with,” Bega’s Peter McDonald said.

“We’re now in a position where we can invest back into the local community and this project at Merri River is something that will benefit many for years to come.”

School principal Dean Clements also expressed his gratitude to both organisations for their support.

“This donation is just amazing and we as a community are very grateful,” Mr Clements said.

To the editor, What exactly is the impact of wind towers on marine life along our coasts?

Roma Britnell MP claims there is a negative effect but provides no evidence of it (Warrnambool Weekly, March 2).

It has been said elsewhere that our magnificent whales are impacted but again no evidence of this.

It is also claimed that wind towers kill our birds.

Though there is some minimal evidence of this it doesn’t compare at all with the roadkill on our highways that significantly impact wildlife. No-one is calling to ban motor vehicles that most of us drive because of this unfortunate and widespread reality.

Wind and solar renewables are the cheaper and cleaner energy sources of the future and that’s important for the health and longevity of our planet.

Council seeks new direction for shelter

AFTER running the Warrnambool animal shelter for the last 20 years, the RSPCA has this week been informed it will cease operations on June 30. Following a decision by Warrnambool City Council to investigate alternative operating arrangements, RSPCA Victoria on Tuesday advised its employees and volunteers at the Warrnambool shelter that in just over three months’ time it would no longer operate the facility.

Supported by a group of 25 volunteers, the organisation currently has a dedicated team of 15 local employees at the Warrnambool shelter who now face redundancy.

Dr Liz Walker, RSPCA Victoria chief executive, and head of operations Tanya Drakopoulos met with the local team on Tuesday to inform them of the change and said their focus would now be on supporting the team in the coming months and ensuring a smooth transition with council.

“This is a difficult day, especially for our wonderful team of employees and volunteers at Warrnambool, some of whom have been with us for a long time, and all of whom have made a real difference for animals in the local community,” Dr Walker said.

“We’re so proud of what we have achieved in our time operating the Warrnambool shelter, with the local team caring for around 1,200 animals each year, providing food, shelter, vet care and giving as many as possible the chance to be fostered or adopted into loving new homes.

“We want to sincerely thank our people who have made a real difference in the community through their dedication and compassion for animals.”

Dr Walker also paid tribute to the local community for its support over many years and said RSPCA Victoria looks forward to continuing to support

animal welfare in the region through its Education and Community Outreach programs and through the work of local inspectors.

These inspectors will continue to investigate animal cruelty reports from the area and take animals into the care of the RSPCA when required.

For many years RSPCA Victoria has been subsidising the cost of operating the shelter and has moved to a cost-neutrality model for all its council contracts, allowing the animal charity to invest its limited resources in areas and work where it can have the greatest impact for animal welfare.

Warrnambool City Council representatives also attended this week’s meeting.

Council’s chief executive officer Andrew Mason said council would continue to work with local volunteers to support animal welfare in the region.

“This is a significant change, but council remains committed to maintaining a shelter that has a focus on returning lost animals and re-homing those where owners’ circumstances have changed,” Mr Mason said.

“This is a council-owned facility and in addition to looking at a new operating model, council will invest in improvements to the building over coming years.

“We thank the RSPCA for its commitment to animal welfare and also the many volunteers who are key to ensuring better outcomes for domestic pets.”

RSPCA Victoria head of operations, Tanya Drakopoulos, said her team was “deeply saddened” to no longer run the facility from June 30, however RSPCA Victoria would continue to work with the council and the community through its education programs and vaccination days.

“We are all really sad about this week’s outcome and unfortunately our staff will be affected but we will support them in finding other job opportunities,”

Ms Drakopoulos said.

“We will support council through this transition to make sure it is a smooth process and that our animals are all well cared for.

“As for adoptions, we will continue to run our adoption process until the end of June so if you are looking for a new animal to come into you home please come into our site, have a look and see if you fall in love with one of our furry friends “

Ms Drakopoulos thanked staff and volunteers for all their hard work and dedication over the last 20 years.

“We also thank the community that has supported us for so many years and really made the Warrnambool shelter successful.”

Hand prints and crazy socks

STUDENTS at Warrnambool West Primary School celebrated Harmony Day with plenty of colour last week.

For the first time at the school, the national anthem was sung and signed in Auslan last Thursday, followed by a Welcome to Country.

Students from all year levels compiled murals which featured their hand prints as flowers planted on the earth – signifying the many places we originated from. Activities throughout the day included art and craft, indigenous stories and games from around the world.

Students and staff wore crazy and odd socks and also recognised and celebrated International Down Syndrome Day.

WARRNAMBOOL East Primary School celebrated Harmony Week with a huge display of ‘Harmony t-shirts.’

The t-shirts, designed and drawn by students from all year levels, made for a colourful display in classroom windows last week.

As part of the celebrations, the Koko Blokes performed a special dance at last Friday’s assembly and students were encouraged to take part in a variety of activities.

Answers sought on Tasty Plate closure

THE recent closure of Brophy Family and Youth Service’s ‘Tasty Plate’ has again surfaced in discussions in Parliament House.

Member for South West Coast Roma Britnell and Member for Western Victoria Bev McArthur used their time in parliament last week to pressure the state government for answers over the ‘sudden closure.’

“The Minister for Disability is refusing to comment or respond to people’s concerns regarding the closure of Tasty Plate,” Ms Britnell said.

“The government has also failed to address its refusal to accept an offer of a pro-bono review by

KordaMentha.”

Addressing the Speaker of the House last week, Ms Britnell expressed her concerns that previous questions regarding the closure have yet to be answered.

“My office is regularly receiving correspondence from locals about Tasty Plate and they deserve to have the Minister respond to their concerns.

“Tasty Plate is a much-loved community asset, and for the Minister to dodge and deflect questions from constituents is appalling.”

Mrs McArthur questioned the Minister for Disability directly.

“Brophy Family and Youth Services must have been

aware of the alleged unviability of the service for some time,” she said.

“Do you support the generous offer of a pro-bono review by KordaMentha of Tasty Plate’s viability, to determine whether this much-loved community organisation has an ongoing future, either with or without Brophy Family and Youth Services in charge?”

According to Mrs McArthur, her questions were not answered in parliament.

“This closure has destroyed a beloved local organisation that provided a first-class service, as well as job opportunities and workplace training for those who might find it hard to get positions elsewhere.”

JUDY Ryan, a leading campaigner behind the creation of a medically supervised injecting room in Richmond, hopes to inspire Warrnambool residents to keep up their campaign for the Lookout residential rehabilitation centre.

WRAD Health and the Warrnambool Library and Learning Centre will host author Judy Ryan at the library from 5pm-6.30pm on Tuesday, April 16.

Ms Ryan’s visit will be the first in a new series of “Sticky Subjects” panel discussions at the library that will invite the public to explore their way of thinking about complex issues.

Ms Ryan said her message is simple – if she can identify a problem and do something about it, so can others.

“I will tell my story as an accidental activist and then throw it open to the audience – is there an issue here and is there something you can do about it?”

During her Warrnambool presentation, Ms Ryan will be joined by WRAD Health CEO Mark Powell and program manager for Brophy Family and Youth Services’ youth AOD program DARE, Jess Moloney, who will talk about the local drug and alcohol situation.

Ms Ryan said the campaign for the Lookout residential rehabilitation centre was a great example where people can become activists without marching up and down the street.

“It can be as easy as contacting your local politician; we can change the world just by doing that,” Ms Ryan said.

Ms Ryan released her book ‘You Talk We Die’ last year, received an OAM in 2022 for services to community health, and has been awarded a Churchill Fellowship to travel overseas in late 2024 to learn how drugimpacted communities engage governments to save lives using health-based solutions.

She said Warrnambool people could follow her lead in successfully campaigning for a much-needed health facility.

Originally from country Victoria, after raising her family Ms Ryan moved to Melbourne in 2012 and saw

a problem and realised something needed to happen.

“I’d lived in Richmond in the late 70s and knew there were drugs, but after we moved here in 2012, I was totally shocked at the extent of the public health crisis,” she said.

“We couldn’t get in or out of our homes because someone had overdosed. Non-medical people like me were going up to people who were slumped over to see if they had a pulse, would ring 000 and then stay with them until the ambos came.”

In 2016 she came home and found a young man collapsed at her back gate.

“That was my turning point. People are dying in our streets and no-one is doing anything. I said `they’ should do something and my husband John Riddiford said `who’s they’?

“I didn’t see the people with addiction as junkies; I saw them as someone’s child or grandchild that needed some help.”

Ms Ryan googled heroin overdose deaths and saving lives and found the Sydney injecting room.

“I thought, that’s what we need in Richmond…but what could I do?”

She stood as an independent local government candidate on the single issue of a supervised injecting facility in Richmond and polled better than expected, giving her a mandate to continue.

She visited the Sydney injecting room and found it treated people with respect, kept them alive and offered them support to get off drugs.

“I brought together a group of people I met during the election campaign and we ran community forums and a rally in 2017. It was a great community building experience and that changed the government’s mind, along with three coroners’ reports recommending a facility.”

The safe injecting room opened as a trial in 2018 and became permanent in 2023.

Despite some negativity, Ms Ryan said it has been a success.

“Trained staff have managed nearly 8,000 overdoses, with no deaths in the facility. Two independent reviews

have been very positive. Generally speaking, people living near the facility are pleased as it has reduced the amount of people injecting, overdosing and dying in their gardens and carports.”

Ms Ryan is also involved in the campaign for another supervised injecting room in the Melbourne CBD.

She says it’s up to local communities to push for facilities if they’re needed.

“It’s about evidence,” she said. “There’s no use sending country people to other areas for support. People need to be near their families to get the support they need. It just doesn’t work to send someone from the country to Melbourne.”

For bookings for the April 16 session with Ms Ryan phone the Warrnambool library on 5559 4990.

Judy Ryan, a campaigner behind a medicallysupervised injecting room in Richmond, will visit Warrnambool next month. 2024E

School embraces diversity

PORT Fairy Consolidated School last week celebrated Harmony Day with colour and fun activities.

The students and staff wore orange, embraced diversity and continued to foster unity among all.

“The day was another great one at our school,” staff member Charles McLear said.

“Let’s continue to honour and respect each other’s differences every day and work towards closing the gap between cultures, beliefs and opportunities.”

In conjunction with Harmony Week, the school also recognised Close the Gap Day and Cultural Diversity Week.

Throughout the week, students from Foundation through to year six engaged in activities and learning to deepen understanding and appreciation of inclusion, diversity, belonging and respect within the school community.

“Students participated in discussion lessons aimed at fostering empathy, cultural awareness and mutual respect,” Jane McLauchlan, disability inclusion coordinator said.

“By actively embracing these initiatives our school reaffirms its commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where every individual feels valued and respected irrespective of their background or heritage.

“Through education and celebration, the school aims to build bridges of understanding and promote harmony among its diverse student body.”

Ms McLauchlan believes the display of unity and solidarity highlights the school’s dedication to nurture a culture of acceptance and appreciation for differences.

“This also echoes our values of compassion, empathy are respect that are essential for building a cohesive and harmonious society and nurturing global citizens,” she said.

Tacoma pulls in to Port

IN what proved a fitting ‘welcome home’ on Tuesday afternoon, the MFV Tacoma pulled in to Port Fairy under blue skies and to rousing cheers from the large crowd that gathered on the wharf.

The MFV Tacoma (Australia’s first purpose-built purse seine fishing boat) was built by the Haldane family on the banks of the Moyne River between 1944 and 1951 and became a pioneer of the tuna fishing industry.

This week was the first time the Tacoma has returned to Port Fairy since its departure for Port Lincoln 72 years ago.

On board was 90 year-old Jack Belamy who crewed the boat on its journey to Port Lincoln as an 18 year-old.

Joining him on board was Ross Haldane who was just four years-old when the Tacoma left Port.

“The MFV Tacoma arrived to much fanfare which was very special and well deserved,” Port Fairy local Ashley King said.

“My father, Noppy King, was good friends with the three Haldane boys so the boat’s arrival held extra significance for me.

“It was wonderful to see so many people welcome the boat to Port Fairy on Tuesday.”

Measuring 84 foot long, the MFV Tacoma took five days to sail from Port Lincoln to Port Fairy – and could only enter and berth at high tide because of its size.

“I believe the trip over was pretty rough at times but it was smooth sailing into Port Fairy,” Mr King said.

“It really is a magnificent site and one I encourage everyone to come and have a look at this weekend.”

Port Fairy will host the Tacoma for the next three days, providing locals and visitors to the region the opportunity to enjoy a up-close look at this wonder of the seas.

The boat will be open to the public while in Port Fairy and a series of seafood cooking demonstrations by celebrity chef Tony Ford – along with talks about the history of the boat – are planned for the weekend.

Anyone wishing to go on board and take a look at the Tacoma can do so each afternoon from around 1pm at a cost of just $5 per adult (children free).

Ross Huldane will join other guest speakers to discuss the boats origins and its place in the history of the tuna fishing industry at 10am and 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.

An admission fee for these sessions apply, with funds going towards sailing costs and ongoing maintenance of the Tacoma.

An official civic welcome will be held this Saturday night when Moyne Shire mayor Cr Ian Smith will officially welcome Mayor of Port Lincoln Cr Diana Mislov and the crew of the Tacoma.

It is anticipated the MFV Tacoma will sail out at high tide on Easter Monday (weather permitting).

National award for community garden

HARD work is paying dividends for the Warrnambool Community Garden, which recently took out a national award.

The garden has been named winner of the Bush Tucker Garden Award in the Community Gardens Australia 2023 awards.

This national recognition celebrates the garden’s commitment to growing, showcasing and educating the community about Indigenous foods and their uses.

The announcement was made by none other than Costa Georgiadis from Gardening Australia, underscoring the significance of this achievement within the gardening and community development spheres.

At the heart of this award-winning garden lies a commitment to fostering learning and appreciation for Indigenous plants and their cultural significance.

Situated on the lands of the Peek Whurrong people of the Maar Nation, the garden overlooks a former wetland, providing a serene backdrop for exploration and education.

“Our garden is a significant area for First Nations people,” deputy convenor for the Warrnambool Community Garden, Courtney Mathew said.

“Over the years the garden has worked closely with local Elders to create this peaceful place of reflection.”

The garden’s range of bush foods and native plants were first established in

2016 and serve as a living classroom, inviting visitors to learn about the uses and flavours of Indigenous plants.

Local chefs use the garden to source hard-to-find ingredients to use in restaurants while the garden’s team sells rare seasonal treats like the pea sized muntries at the weekly garden market when available (introducing the food to new audiences).

“We pay our deepest respects to all First Nations people for their custodianship of this land over millennia,” Ms Mathew said.

“Our collaboration with Rob Lowe Snr has been instrumental in educating our community on the deep history and significance of our site.

“We dedicate this award to Rob for his service to the garden and the community more broadly.”

Ms Mathew said Mr Lowe had given hundreds of hours of his time sharing the stories of the area, educating people about its history and had also shared deeply moving Welcome to Country and smoking ceremonies at many garden events.

Recently Rob Lowe Snr has refinished the garden’s reflection seat to include a visual representation of the history of the site.

This involved hours of work to plan, prepare and apply the design.

To further engage the community and expand knowledge-sharing efforts, the garden offers resources such as the “Bush Harvest - Your

Guide to Indigenous Food Plants,” a free downloadable guide aimed at promoting the value of bush foods for healthy diets and general well-being.

As the garden continues to evolve, it welcomes people from all backgrounds to join in its efforts of preservation, education, and community-building. No prior experience is necessary; only a passion for nature and a willingness to learn.

Anyone interested in contributing to the bush food area or the Warrnambool Community Garden in general is encouraged to email grow@wcg3280. org.au.

Residents urged to dig deep

FIRE brigades from across the region are hoping the community will dig deep and donate what they can for tomorrow’s Good Friday Appeal.

The annual Royal Children’s Hospital appeal will once again rely on the generosity of families, individuals and businesses across the state to help ensure the future of this essential facility.

Warrnambool Fire Brigade is again organising a collection across Warrnambool and is aiming to equal or improve on the incredible $31,000 collected last year.

“Despite tough economic conditions, we collected just over $31,000 last year and we’re calling on our communities to once again dig deep and give what they can,” brigade captain Tom Woodhams said.

“Our brigade has been organising this city-wide collection for decades, although members are unsure of exactly when the tradition started.

“Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised over the past 35 odd years and we’re hoping this continues well into the future.”

The Warrnambool brigade will also be joined by firefighters from Wangoom, Woodford, Winslow, Purnim and Grassmere CFA brigades along with Warrnambool Scouts, SES and FRV firefighters.

“We will all be walking up and down every street of Warrnambool from 8.30am Friday through to lunch time,” Mr Woodhams said.

“Fuelled on hot cross buns and chocolate, we’ll all be out shaking tins. People will be able to hear blasts from truck sirens as we enter their streets.”

Mr Woodhams said the support from surrounding brigades and city organisations reflects the generosity of everyone wanting to give up their ‘free time’ to walk the streets of Warrnambool.

“As a brigade this is one of our most favourite events because we know so many Warrnambool children have received life saving care from the Royal Children’s Hospital.”

Warrnambool Fire Brigade captain Tom Woodhams puts the first donation into the collection tin outside the fire station. 2024E

Cars glisten at Victoria Park

CAR enthusiasts of all ages flocked to Koroit last weekend for the annual Swap Meet Show and Shine. Victoria Park became a hive of colour on Saturday, offering visitors the chance to view a range of vintage vehicles. The event was organised by Koroit Lions in conjunction with the Warrnambool and District Drag Racing Association.

Allansford hops in to Easter

THE Easter spirit was alive and well at Allansford and District Primary School this week. Students enjoyed taking part in a range of Easter-based craft activities, including an Easter egg, bunny, a dictated Easter drawing, colour-in competitions for local businesses and making an Easter card for their loved ones.

Some of the special messages from the school’s young students included:

“I enjoyed the dictated Easter egg drawing as I like drawing and colouring in, it is very peaceful.”

- Kade

“I liked writing my Easter card to my family because I like writing cards to people. I used blue and purple watercolour paint and used a dabbing technique to complete the background of my bunny.”

- Delilah

“I enjoyed doing the Easter card for my family because we had a choice to either use watercolour paint or pencil for the background of our bunny and I chose pencil. I also liked that we could do a background of our own choice.”

- Ariana

“I enjoyed doing the Easter egg because we could design our Easter egg with different patterns using masking tape. We could use different coloured paint for our pattern and when we were finished we added a ribbon on to our Easter egg.”

- Hayley

Lessons in cultural diversity

ST Patrick’s Primary School students celebrated the many diverse backgrounds and cultures within their school community last week.

As part of the Port Fairy school’s Harmony Day celebrations on Friday, students were encouraged to take along a lunch inspired by their own cultures - or a lunch from a culture that they love.

According to classroom teacher Eliza Dwyer, the special lunch saw students enjoy a range of dishes including sushi, noodles and some desserts from Greece.

One of the highlights of the day was a talk by the Hutabarat family, who originate from Sumatra, Indonesia, who spoke about their beautiful country.

“The Hutabarat’s painted a vivid picture of their homeland, captivating the entire school with tales of

their country’s natural wonders and cultural treasures,” Ms Dwyer said.

“The school came together in unity, participating in a joyous display of traditional dance led by our honoured guests.

“Harmony Day proved to be more than just a celebration; it was a profound learning experience, fostering appreciation for the mosaic of differences that make each of us uniquely beautiful.”

Harmony Fairy visits Koroit

KOROIT Primary School students were treated to visits from the ‘Harmony Fairy’ each day last week.

Celebrations kicked off on Tuesday with a range of tabloid activities.

On Wednesday students were able to choose from a drum/rhythm circle, painting in the outdoor classroom or a whole school art project.

Thursday was a whole school disco on the basketball court, complete with bubble fun, while Friday saw students enjoy a scavenger hunt for rainbows around the playground.

Many thanks to Mrs Rivett who organised an exciting Harmony Week for the students.

Palliative care to benefit from market

WHETHER you’re looking for a beautifully hand-knitted jumper, a new quilt or even some good second hand books, make sure you head to next month’s ‘market day’ at Warrnambool’s St John of God Hospital.

Members of the hospital’s ladies’ auxiliary have been busy knitting, sewing and gathering quality items for sale for the April 6 market – and all for a good cause.

“All money raised at our market will go directly towards the refurbishing of the palliative care rooms, which is very

important,” auxiliary president Diana Young said.

“We’re hoping the community will support the market and give what they can for the benefit of future patients.”

The market will be held in the hospital’s rear car park (back entrance to the hospital) from 9.30am-1pm on Saturday, April 6.

Lots of bargains will be on offer and a sausage sizzle will keep hungry market goers satisfied.

A raffle for a lovely patchwork quilt will also run throughout the day.

Entry is via Wentworth Street.

Members of the ladies’ auxiliary (from left) Jeanette Daley, Rose Egerton, Carolyn Eaton, Diana Young and Pat King, are looking forward to a successful market in April. 2024E

Orange nails for Harmony Week

THERE was plenty of orange fingernails in the school yard at St Pius Warrnambool last week.

Students were given the opportunity to have one fingernail painted orange on Wednesday as part of the school’s Harmony Week celebrations.

The week gave students and staff the chance to recognise and celebrate the variety of cultures represented within the school.

The flags of each of those countries were also flying high throughout the week-long celebrations.

Time to register your pets

WARRNAMBOOL

residents will be asked to renew their pet registrations over coming weeks.

“Pet owners have started to receive pet registration renewal letters,” Warrnambool City Council chief executive officer Andrew Mason said.

“We have about 5,900 registered pets in the city, of which about 4,300 are dogs.

“Along with pet registration being a legal requirement, there are also great benefits to having your pet registered.

“If your registered cat or dog is found wandering the streets it’s

easier for our Local Laws officers to return your pet directly to you because we’ll have all the necessary contact details.

“Our officers make a concerted effort to reunite registered animals with their owners as quickly as possible but when pets are not registered, reunification takes longer.

“There is a misconception that when a dog or cat is picked up by council staff it’s taken directly to the animal shelter – but our first priority is try to contact the owner.”

The annual cost to register a sterilised cat or dog is $72 or $36 for pensioners. These charges have not

increased over the past three years.

“The cost of registration subsidises the running of the Local Laws service and the animal shelter, which helps rehome pets each year,” Mr Mason said.

“Our officers also conduct afterhours patrols, attend to nuisance complaints including barking complaints and investigate dog attacks.

“We estimate there are a further 220 unregistered dogs and cats, with this number is based on these pets having been previously registered but the registration has not been renewed.

“We know that in some instances the pet will have died or been given away but we do need pet owners to let us know if this has happened.”

Renewing registration is much simpler than re-registering a pet which requires owners to provide microchip and desexing documentation.

There is also a $385 fine for failing to register a pet.

It is a requirement for dogs and cats to be registered under the Domestic Animals Act (1994).

Pet registration is required under the Domestic Animals Act and Council is required to pay the Victorian Government $4.23 for each pet that is on the animal

register.

Moyne Shire residents are also reminded to register their pets for the coming 12 months.

“All dogs and cats from 12 weeks of age need to be registered and permanently implanted with a microchip,” Moyne mayor Cr Ian Smith said.

“Desexing is also highly recommended and attracts a discounted registration fee. Our pets are part of our families, and we want to make sure a lost pet can be returned home as soon as possible.”

Moyne pet registration payments are due by April 10, 2024.

Will Kenna (Snr) was the lucky raffle winner.

Footy season is here

WITH the local cricket season now won and done, thoughts turn to the upcoming football/netball season –with round one just around the corner.

The Warrnambool and District Football Netball League will kick off tomorrow, Good Friday, when Merrivale and Old Collegians meet.

Round one for the league will commence the following week, Saturday April 6, with the usual five games.

And in neighbouring Hampden League, the 2024 season will commence under lights at Reid Oval when the Warrnambool Blues

take on the Koroit Saints under lights on Friday, April 5.

The club will play their senior football and open netball fixtures that night, with the remaining football and netball grades to be played on Saturday, April 6.

This will be the second time the newly developed facility at Reid Oval will host a Friday night fixture – the last being in 2022.

The match will also see the two clubs contest the ‘Cassign Cup’ with players encouraged to wear green laces to spread awareness of muscular dystrophy and The Gillin Boys Foundation’s fight for a cure campaign.

Spectators will also have the chance to watch former North Melbourne star, Ben Cunnington, in action in what will be his Hampden League debut.

League president Shane Threlfall said it would be a “terrific way” to officially open the new season.

“It will be the first game of the opening round and a great chance for people to come and have a look at some of the big star recruits coming into our league,” he said.

“It’s a great initiative from both Warrnambool and Koroit to move that game from the traditional Saturday to the Friday night.”

35, Tom Wright 51-16-35 and Travis Mills 46-11-35.

Challenging conditions for state titles

ROUND two of the Bodyboarding Victoria state titles lived up to its hype, with plenty of waves and some great riding on display last weekend.

While entry numbers may have been down slightly on the previous year (attributed, in part, to the current cost of living), organisers were thrilled with the standard of competition and the support from locals.

“Day one on Saturday saw some great rides at Logans despite the conditions, which weren’t ideal,” Adams Williams, Bodyboarding Victoria committee member said.

“The wind direction can really affect conditions and Saturday’s south-easterly really hit the face of the waves making it tough for competitors.

“Because of that, we changed to the Flume for Sunday’s program which also provided plenty of challenges in the water but there was some really good rides and some great scores.”

Williams believes the current cost of living, including fuel prices, may have resulted in slightly fewer entries than last year, but he is confident the sport will continue to grow.

“Several of our competitors travelled from as far as Melbourne and that can be a costly exercise in itself,” he said.

“But overall we were very happy with entries and crowd numbers over both days; it was great to see so many locals and visitors watching from the beach.”

Some of the sport’s leading competitors took to the water across seven divisions, the youngest in their early teens, through to ‘Grand Masters’ in their late 40s.

Results from the competition were as follows:

Juniors (under 18) – 1st Lucas Byford, 2nd River Gray.

Men’s (18-35) – David Warren.

Masters – 1st Luke Whearty, 2nd Ryan Jucker, 3rd Trent Conn, 4th Shane Britten.

Grand Masters – 1st Nathan Clark, 2nd Kyle Anderson, 3rd Benjamin Lee Kong, 4th Ryan Lindsey, 5th Shane Britten.

Open men’s – 1st Chris Watson, 2nd Nathan Clark, 3rd David Warren, 4th Luke Whearty.

Dropknee – 1st Dane Pope, 2nd Adam Williams.

Burnham to return to Raiders

Among the awards presented, Warrnambool Lawn Tennis was recognised for creating a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment, demonstrating good governance and growth in sport.

New pitch now open

IT was an exciting day for hockey enthusiasts last Saturday with the official opening of the new pitch at Hockey South West.

Warrnambool City mayor Cr Ben Blain said he was thrilled to see the new turf being enjoyed by youngsters on the weekend.

The national-standard pitch, which was jointly funded by council and Hockey South West, replaced a previously 17 yearold surface.

It is hoped the pitch will attract high level competitions to Warrnambool including the Victorian premier league and even Hockey One national league matches.

Last Saturday’s opening marked the culmination of many years of fundraising by various committees who had worked hard, raised and saved money for the pitch.

Various philanthropic trusts had also contributed towards the cost.

While the new pitch can now be enjoyed by players of all ages and abilities, Hockey South West’s fundraising efforts will continue in order to meet various operational costs such as equipment, and uniforms.

Last season Hockey South West had around 370 members which included almost 300 players of various ages.

“Hockey is certainly a fun and exciting sport and no doubt this new pitch will add to its appeal,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.

“This new pitch complements the standard already set in this sporting precinct and is something the community can be proud of.”

ALLANSFORD Panmure has successfully defended its 204 runs against Nestles to take out Warrnambool District Cricket’s division one premiership.

The Gators were sent in to bat by Nestles last weekend and openers Kade Parker and Shashan Silva worked hard to quickly get some runs on the board.

Silva was bowled for 25 while Parker was out lbw for 10.

Team-mate Christopher Bant made an impressive 38 in an innings which included five boundaries.

Other contributors to the scoreboard were middle-order batsman Daniel Meade with a quick-firing 42 (which included four

boundaries) and Patrick Mahony with 33.

The Gators reached 10/204 in the 80th over.

Best of the bowlers for Nestles were Jacob Hetherington who finished the day with figures of 4/40 off 18.5 overs and Matthew Price 3/43 from 14.

In reply, Nestles was restricted to 10/138 in the 69th over with Michael Harricks the best with the bat making 52.

He was well supported by team-mates Jacob Hethertington (25) and Matthew Ringin who was unbeaten, also on 25.

For the Gators, Shiv Kumara took 3/19 from 18 overs, Rommel Shahzad took 3/41 from 16 overs and Simon Richardson finished the day with 2/31 from 14.

Single wickets also went to Ben Boyd (1/26) and Brandon Bant (1/19).

Birthday

From our ‘family’ to yours

Welcome to this, our very special 1st birthday edition of the Warrnambool Weekly.

From its inception on March 31, 2023, the Weekly has continued to grow from strength to strength and for that we thank you, our loyal readers and advertisers.

While launching a new paper in the wake of the turmoil that was the ‘COVID 19 era of lockdowns and restrictions’ was deemed extremely risky –and some even hinted was “doomed to fail” –we have managed to ride the waves and come through stronger than before.

Like so many other local businesses, Western District Newspapers also battles staff shortages and constantly rising costs but despite this we are determined to bring to you as much local news, sport and events that are such an important part of your community.

We take great pride in the newspapers we produce and print on-site from our head office in Camperdown.

The Warrnambool Weekly is the fifth in our stable – alongside the Cobden Timboon Coast Times, Terang Express, Mortlake Dispatch and Camperdown Chronicle which have been proudly produced for well over a century.

Our advertisers ensure that the Weekly can continue to be printed and distributed from more than 60 outlets across Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Koroit and surrounding towns week after week and we encourage all our readers to support those businesses who continue to support our publication.

The Weekly is YOUR local newspaper so let’s work together to ensure it continues well into the future.

Together, we are making an important footprint in our local communities, highlighting and

bringing to the forefront the issues, the events, the achievements and the stories that make our communities so special.

Today, looking back over the first 12 months of the Warrnambool Weekly we are extremely proud of what we have produced and have been overwhelmed by the constant positive feedback we have received to date.

But we won’t rest on our laurels. We are always looking at ways to improve and welcome feedback in all forms; together we can continue to ensure the Weekly is YOUR local newspaper.

From our ‘home’ to yours we extend our gratitude and look forward to continuing to produce a paper we can all be proud of.

Happy 1st birthday to the entire Warrnambool Weekly family.

From the editorial team

Stewart Esh & Jodie Welsh

Moyne Shire congratulates the Warrnambool Weekly on its first birthday.

We love the concept of a free newspaper for Warrnambool and Moyne residents, and have been pleased to support the newspaper since its launch.

The mix of local news, community stories, council updates and extensive sports coverage make the Warrnambool Weekly an engaging and enjoyable read.

It enables council to reach both local residents and visitors, and can be found in many locations around the shire.

Thank you, and all the best for the next year!

The team is always a pleasure to deal with and we hope to continue this relationship for a long time to come.

- Julienne

Clifford Executive Officer, Crystal Lee Foundation

It takes a bold vision to launch a news service that includes traditional print in addition to a digital offering.

Yet the south-west owned Weekly has found its own niche and quickly established a fan base that enjoys the diverse grassroots news coverage the Weekly provides. There’s a fun, celebratory feel about the paper that has struck a chord with many readers.

And with a wide distribution network the Weekly is helping to connect Warrnambool and the surrounding towns.

Along with providing support to local community and sporting groups, the Weekly offers an additional promotional option for local businesses.

Once again, congratulations on the first year and we look forward to many more.

- Warrnambool City Council
