Horsham opens for business

- Horsham Sport and Community Club manager Glenn Carroll enjoys a drink with head chef Gary Reudenbach and second chef Natasha Haustorfer.

By James Thomas HORSHAM pubs, cafes, and restaurants are making preparations for the easing of restrictions beginning June 1 which will allow eateries to open to limited numbers. Horsham Sports and Community Club manager Glenn Carroll said that between government support and reducing overheads, he will be able to reopen the business from June 1. “We have been in shut-down for 10 weeks so far which has been really challenging with the 34 staff that we have got,” he said. “Some of them have ended up on

JobKeeper payments, which has been fantastic support from the government. “We did a lot of what other businesses did which was we reduced our overheads as much as we possibly could. “We wanted to make sure that we could be here in the future to support the local community because that is exactly what we are here for.” When the club was forced to close, Mr Carroll took the opportunity to renovate and repaint the club’s interior. Since the government’s announcement that businesses could re-open, the club has been inundated with phone calls for lunch and dinner

bookings. Mr Carroll said that things will be slightly different for patrons and staff when dining-in resumes. “We will be taking people’s name and phone number when they come through the door,” he said. “We’ll have 55 seats available and we’ll be able to have a maximum of six people seated at a table. But that doesn’t mean we can’t do larger bookings - they’ll just have to be spread out over multiple tables. “Staff will have to sign-off that they are healthy before they can come in which is a good thing for everyone’s safety.” Cafe Red Cherry co-owner Les

Harding has been faced with a similar situation and has adjusted the cafe’s policy for the anticipated turnover on June 1. “We can normally seat about 30 but we won’t be able to,” he said. “At the most, we’ll be able to have 14 people dine-in at the same time.” While takeaways and deliveries have helped to keep business going, Mr Harding said that it had placed a lot of pressure on both him and coowner Lyn Rogers. He said that at one point the pair were working for nothing. “Takeaway and deliveries have been working well but we are missing out on things like catering - but we’re

still getting through,” he said. “Obviously the income has dropped but so have our costs, so that has kept us going. “It was worth it only because of JobKeeper and because of the cut in rent we got, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to stay open at all.” Residents and businesses can look forward to a further lifting of restrictions from June 22 when the number of patrons per enclosed space will be raised to 50, with further consideration for 100 persons by late July. However, the easing of restrictions is subject to the advice of Victoria’s Chief Health Officer.

Dear Editor, Congratulations to David Ward and staff on your initiative to launch a new newspaper in Horsham. Newspapers close the gap of social isolation. They bring people together. They are not only the lifeblood of a community and its day to day affairs, but in their physical form they are also a uniquely important journal of record. As a retired journalist and amateur historian, I appreciate a newspaper’s comprehensive documentation of Wimmera life, in words and pictures – farming, schools, births, weddings, obituaries, agricultural shows, weather cycles, social life, council elections, sporting highlights, industry – the list is endless. Because the Ward family published the original Horsham Times for more than half a century, it is fitting that the Ward name is once again associated with a new Horsham Times. Best wishes for your venture. Keith Lockwood - Natimuk

Dear Editor, Just a word of encouragement for you and your business as you prepare to launch the Horsham Times newspaper. Our community has always had a ‘thirst’ for information about what is happening in and around the Horsham ‘patch’. Regular newspapers, with their photographs, have long been a part of Horsham’s historical narrative.

Dear Editor, Palliative care really is more than you would imagine. It can help people with life-limiting illnesses to live as well as possible, for as long as possible – supporting their physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs. Today (Sunday) is the launch of National Palliative Care Week with the theme for 2020, “Palliative Care... It’s more than you think”. During the week, Wimmera Health Care Group is encouraging individuals to spark important conversations in the community about the benefits of quality palliative care and celebrate the amazing dedication of all those working in palliative care across Australia. There’s more than you think! Wimmera Palliative Care services the local government areas of Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh, West Wimmera and the Rural City of Horsham and District – a total of 37,000 square kilometres. The community palliative care service supports patients at home, in aged care facilities and while in hospital. The team includes WHCG nurse practitioner Maire Coffey and registered nurses Jenny Ellis, Sharyn Meyer, Zoe Frew, Jody Membrey and Catherine Finlay. Ms Coffey said the team had altered its service delivery due to COVID-19 restrictions. “We’ve been unable to review patients in

have your say

other facilities for hospitals and only through urgent visits at home,” she said. “To do this we have had the benefit of Sharyn Cook and Nicole Miller joining our team to ensure we can still support as many people as possible.” Palliative Care is about: • Treating symptoms and making patients comfortable when cure is not possible or is unlikely • Supporting patients to have the best quality of life possible • Supporting family and carers during the patient’s illness and during bereavement if required • Helping with not just the physical problems, but the emotional, spiritual, and social issues that may happen as a result of illness. The Wimmera Palliative Care team works with the patient’s local doctors, nurses and allied health care team to provide care. They can also coordinate specialist consultation for patients with the palliative care doctors and nurse practitioners from Grampians Regional Palliative Care Team. Palliative care nurse Sharyn Meyer said the team was using the week to reflect on the ever changing role they fulfilled while caring for their community. “We are often humbled by the privilege we have when families open up their lives and allow us to be involved at such a personal and challenging time,” Ms Meyer said. “We find ourselves constantly amazed at the resilience of patients, families and carers as they navigate through one of the most difficult times in their lives. “We hope people will consider Palliative Care being not only about death, but living as well as you can with a terminal illness.” Wimmera Health Care Group

Extraordinary Times WHAT an extraordinary couple of weeks it has been. To start a completely new newspaper from scratch for the region has been an amazing challenge with a big effort from a small team and many long days to bring the first edition to fruition. This project would never have even commenced, but for the phone calls of encouragement from the broader community and the confidence of so many people who expressed their faith in our team to present ‘well rounded’, high quality, locally produced news. It was clear to me by the extraordinary number of phone calls, from so many people that there was significant demand for a locally produced and owned newspaper, that would fill a void that had been created by the cessation of other long standing regional papers throughout the state and beyond. That message was that they wanted a newspaper that reflected community values, provided balanced news and an effective medium for our local businesses to share their message. We have worked extremely hard over the last two weeks to bring out the first edition of The Horsham Times.

This, the first issue of The Horsham Times, has been a collaboration of our existing team members at Wimmera Malllee News, some of whom have been with us for over 30 years and newly recruited staff to the team. To these members I express a sincere thank you for their efforts in bringing out this first edition, one of many to come as this is not intended as a short term project, but to serve the community for many years to come. Not wishing to be too self-indulgent, I must express a special thank you to my son Andrew and daughter Jessica who are fifth generation publishers in the Ward family, for their wonderful enthusiasm in bringing the news to the region through our new masthead The Horsham Times. Only time will tell, but if we can achieve our supreme objective of fair, balanced and accurate reporting in providing the news of the day to the community, we hope with the support of the community and business, this will help to make The Horsham Times a success for future generations to enjoy and appreciate...as well as being a comprehensive and valuable historic record of our vibrant community.

FINAL FUNDING SECURED FOR RIVERFRONT

continuing to serve the community for over 30 years

• Shobbie Nair enjoys a walk along the Wimmera River.

By JessieAnne Gartlan HORSHAM Rural City Council’s Riverfront Activation project has secured its last piece of funding with a state government grant worth $500,000. The $3M project is the first of seven subprecincts to be developed under the City to River Master Plan, a 20-year vision for the city which aims to revitalise the area. Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the money would be spent on activating the riverfront, which would include installing boardwalks, a water play area, shade, outdoor seating and identifying a site for a cafe. “The priority focus along the riverfront includes the area between the rowing clubrooms in the west to the east side of the Wimmera Bridge,” Mr Bhalla said. “Concepts for this space will be drawn from public input provided through the initial engagement held in 2019, as well as consultation with groups located in and

adjacent to the space,” he said. Mr Bhalla said the Community Reference Group would help turn those existing ideas into detailed plans that would be put out for public comment later this year. “The CRG will ensure concepts and costs are ‘road tested’ with stakeholders and the public, and that the final design reflects a development that our community will be satisfied with and excited to see delivered,” he said. “Many ideas were put forward through the first phase engagement for the City to River Master Plan on how to enhance and improve the riverfront. “There is now an opportunity available through federal and state government funding to develop this valuable public space so that it can work even better for our community.” Last year the council received federal funding worth $1.65M toward the project and the council is contributing $850,000 to the project.

Grampians plan for a renewable energy future By Taylor Padfield

THE Grampians is one step closer to a sustainable future, with the Victorian Government releasing a plan to reduce carbon emissions in the region. The strategic plan - Roadmap to Zero Emissions for the Grampians Region (R2Z) sets out to decarbonise the entire Grampians region by 2050. Wimmera Development Association executive director, Chris Sounness said the roadmap will help the Wimmera to further its global reputation as innovative agricultural researchers. “Agriculture and forestry is considered a dominant industry in the region and the roadmap presents excellent opportunities for rural communities to be transitioning to net zero emissions,” Mr Sounness said. Grampians New Energy Taskforce (GNET) chairman Stuart Benjamin said the roadmap has the opportunity to strengthen

the economy and combat climate change. “The net zero emissions landscape is changing fast and will continue to evolve in response to community expectations, government policy and changing technologies,” Mr Benjamin said. He said the large agricultural output across the entire region - particularly in the Wimmera Southern Mallee - makes the Grampians well placed to reduce regional emissions. “As we move to implementation, GNET will work closely with all levels of government, industry and community,” Mr Benjamin said. The roadmap suggests for locals to take action by pursuing trials of diversified farming techniques (mosaic farming) and shifting intensive farming to renewable energy. Groups ready to develop community-scale renewable energy projects can apply for funding through New Energy Job Funds.

National Reconciliation Week: In This Together Horsham Town Hall screens Marngrook every day of National Reconciliation Week Horsham Town Hall will show an outdoor screening of Indigenous film Marngrook as part of National Reconciliation Week (NRW). NRW, from 27 May to 3 June, is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation. The theme for NRW 2020 is In This Together – an apt catchcry given the Coronavirus pandemic. While the COVID-19 restrictions will limit the customary public events, Horsham Rural City Council and project partners Wimmera PCP and Federation University are committed to continuing the reconciliation conversation in 2020. The projection of the Marngrook video along with the development of a double-page reconciliation poster to appear in The Weekly Advertiser are two methods being used to keep NRW in the spotlight. Marngrook, written by Titta Seacombe, was created in collaboration with Goolum Goolum last year as part of a NAIDOC Week exhibition and it is

based on the notion of how Australian rules football developed from ‘Marngrook’, a ball game played by Aboriginal people in north west Victoria more than 150 years ago. The film’s story takes place at the foot of Duwul, the highest mountain in the Grampians and the traditional country of the Djab-Wurrung and Jardwadjali clans. When central character Wawi notices that the children only have old toys to play with, he goes for a walk to see what he can find.

Prior to displaying the poster in your window we invite you to share a photo with us to be sent to council@hrcc.vic.gov.au so Council can present the posters in a unified way to the community. Mayor Mark Radford said it was important to continue to highlight the significance of National Reconciliation Week through the current restrictions.

“Walking together, with events during Reconciliation Week, is an important part of Council’s commitment to improve understanding and positive change, both within our organisation and in the Wimmera community,” Cr Radford said. For more information about NRW, please visit Reconciliation Australia’s website reconciliation.org.au

Marngrook will show every day during NRW between 5am and 7am and 6pm and 10pm. The best spot to view the five-minute film, which will be on a continual loop, is on Pynsent Street where the community can adhere to social distancing regulations. The Marngrook projection has been endorsed by Barengi Gadjin Land Council and the event will be promoted also through Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative. The reconciliation posters will give people the chance to trace one of their hands in the centre of the page and write or draw a message about what reconciliation means to them before displaying it in a window.

Horsham Primary School students return to classroom school students from Prep, Grade One, Grade Two, VCE and VCAL, and specialist schools returned to classrooms Tuesday – the first step in all students returning for faceto-face learning on June 9. Mr Walter said he was also proud of how the teachers have tackled the challenges of remote learning. “It has been difficult and a new reality for many. The teachers have done a great job adapting to online learning,” he said.

Mr Walter said he communicated regularly with families about the changes to school-based learning through Facebook and Xuno - web-based software that gives parents access to student information. “Teachers have also made sure that kids are mindful of the new rules and the importance of hygiene,” Mr Walter said. “It is great to see the kids back in the classrooms, we have missed them.”

By Taylor Padfield HORSHAM Primary School students returned to school Tuesday morning, adapting to the new normal for face-to-face learning. Principal Chris Walter said to minimise health risks during the COVID-19 pandemic, no parents were allowed on school grounds.

“Staff will greet students at the morning drop-off,” Mr Walter said. “We would obviously rather be engaging with the families but it was a necessary measure to ensure kids can come back to school.” Mr Walter said the school had placed hand sanitiser in every classroom and additional cleaning measures throughout the day

for high-traffic areas, including playgrounds. “The school will not be using drink fountains and kids are encouraged to use their drink bottles instead,” Mr Walter said. “We know it’s going to be different and it’s not ideal, but we are confident that the kids will adapt really well,” he said.

Roadmap discussions to begin for Northern Grampians residents NORTHERN Grampians Shire Council will be engaging in community consultations beginning next month to inform its latest town development plan. The plan will look at preferred development locations and types which will identify and guide the direction of future council planning. Some of the items under consideration for the council’s town plan will include improvements to streets and roads, and will look at identifying areas for community facilities and public spaces. Eager for community’s feedback, Northern Grampians Shire Council Mayor Murray Emerson said that the plan will be funded by grants from both the State and Federal Government and would serve as a roadmap for future investment in the community. “Council has been successful in securing grant funding from the state and federal governments for this project. From the federal government’s ‘Building for Better Regions Fund’ Program, we secured $50,000 and from the state government’s Streamlining for Growth’ Program we secured $50,000. Council has committed $30,000 towards the

project,’ he said. “This plan will be entirely informed by expert knowledge from our consultant partners and the community, this is a plan that our residents can really take ownership of and help shape their town for future generations. “As this plan will form the roadmap for future investment, the plan will tell us what the people of Stawell want in terms of private and public investment in the key areas of the township. The aim of the plan itself is not to attract private investment.” Council is partnering with urban designers and planners Hansen Partnership, Tim Nott Economics and Martyn Group Transport Planning, who will consult with council and residents on the plan. The council will use grants awarded to it from the Victorian and Federal Governments to help with the project. Currently, the council is preparing its background report which it will present to residents alongside a feedback survey and discussion paper in June. Council expects to have a draft town plan ready completed by October and the final plan by December 2020.

FOOTPATH trading permits and parking fees will remain suspended until the Horsham Rural City Council makes a resolution to change it. The council decided to suspend the fees at the end of March, stating it would be free at least until June 30. The decision was made to ease the financial and time burden on shoppers and retailers during the COVID-19 outbreak. At its May ordinary meeting the council voted in favour of the motion and stated it will review the financial impact of the decision in its next

quarterly performance report. The 2019-20 budget forecast a revenue of $390,000 from parking metre fees, a 9.3 percent drop from the previous financial year.

efforts. “It is also providing jobs to many people who need them.” The initiative comes as restrictions continue to lift and more people begin to venture out of doors. A total of three cases have been recorded in Horsham at the time of writing.

Playgrounds and skateparks reopen By Taylor Padfield HORSHAM playgrounds, skateparks and outdoor communal gym equipment reopened to the public on Tuesday, as coronavirus restrictions eased around Victoria. Kevin O’Brien, director of communities and place at Horsham Rural City Council, said a cleaning system had been put in place for playgrounds and recreational equipment. “A cleaning schedule designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 is already underway.

This includes our playgrounds and other recreational equipment,” Mr O’Brien said. Mr O’Brien said while the council is not responsible for enforcing compliance with distancing rules they can opt to close facilities. “We can make a decision to close a facility if the guidelines are not followed and there is a risk to people’s health,” Mr O’Brien said. “We expect the community to do the right thing. Public safety is the highest priority for us and we will act accordingly if there is risk to people’s health.”

A NEW case of coronavirus has been detected in the Northern Grampians Shire Tuesday afternoon, bringing the total number of recorded cases in the shire to four. The case is one of 13 detected in Victoria since midnight on May 25. Another case was detected at HammondCare aged care facility in Caulfield, and three were detected in returned travellers in hotel quarantine. The new case is the only active one across the Wimmera and Grampians regions. Overall a total of 14 cases have been recorded across the Wimmera region. State-wide the total number of active cases as of May 27 was 54, and the total number of cases recorded in the state was 1618. The Department of Health and Human Services stated that there have been 182 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Victoria that may have been acquired through community transmission. Currently eight people are in hospital, including three patients in intensive care. 1539 people have recovered. Victoria’s chief health officer Brett Sutton said that although restrictions were being eased, the community must remain vigilant. “Today’s increase in cases illustrates once again that while we have been flattening the

curve, our battle against COVID-19 is far from over,” he said. “Restrictions around some activities have now been eased in Victoria in recognition of the current low rate of community transmission of this virus. “While encouraging, we need to remain vigilant. It is increasingly important that we stay at home when unwell and get tested, wash our hands regularly, sneeze and cough into our elbow and maintain physical distancing. These are common sense actions to ensure we don’t create a second wave of this serious disease, as we have seen in other countries once they have eased their stringent regulations. “Victorians have done a remarkable job so far sticking to the coronavirus restrictions and staying at home has saved lives. But now is not the time for complacency. “We are also asking Victorians to continue this amazing effort and get tested if they have symptoms of coronavirus, however mild, because the more tests we do, the more data we have about the prevalence of coronavirus in the community. “People with even the mildest of symptoms of coronavirus including fever, chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or loss of sense of smell are encouraged to get tested.”

Real Estate Real estate’s positive growth during coronavirus

CORONAVIRUS has placed significant challenges on Wimmera businesses, but Harcourts Horsham’s Mark Clyne says the region should remain optimistic about the future. Mr Clyne has spent the past four and a half years growing his business, and has grown from two staff to 12 and now covers four million acres, dealing with commercial, rural and residential properties. Mr Clyne said the region is very well placed to bounce back. “It’s been a challenging time mentally for a lot of business owners because it’s the unknown,” he said. Eateries and entertainment venues have had to close their doors, tourism businesses have suffered, and retailers have faced low patronage rates. Despite uncertain times, Mr Clyne said his agency was still doing business and all the signs pointed to a comeback as interest in Horsham and surrounding regions continued to grow. “The whole market has quietened residentially because of lack of access to properties but we have still been doing farm deals … and still doing residential deals and leasing properties out where safe to do so. “We kicked off January and February with two record months. With coronavirus it has subdued, but we’ve certainly in the last two weeks come out and put quite a few properties under contract.

“We listed a house the other day and put it on the market. We had 10 inspections, we had four offers on the table and it was under contract within two days. So buyer demand is out there.” Mr Clyne said people were attracted to Horsham because it serves as a “regional hub” for the Wimmera. “We’ve got a very progressive and modern retail environment - there’s not too much that people have to go out of town for now. “And we’ve got some good health services and these are things that will evolve as the population grows.” Once restrictions are lifted, Mr Clyne said the region may see more people moving out to the region to get away from city life, something that could benefit the many industrial projects that were in sore need of staff. “I think with coronavirus we will start to see more people move out to regional areas. We may see people coming out of the suburbs,” he said. “Even though the retail sector is quieter … there are many businesses out there in the industrial sectors looking for more staff and they can’t obtain them. There’s a shortage of good quality labour. “With the value adding that’s going on in the grains sector and projects going on within that sector, growth in some government departments and the mineral sands mining - that’s certainly going to provide a good base for Horsham moving forward.”

• Harcourts Horsham’s Mark Clyne says a good work culture is vital to growing a company’s success.

Highway protest tree in doubt By JessieAnne Gartlan

THE future of a possible Aboriginal mortuary tree remains in doubt after the federal government rejected an emergency protection application lodged by opponents to the Western Highway duplication project. Opponents of the embattled project lodged the application on grounds that the tree’s status was still unclear, and that it was under immediate threat of destruction from roadworks. The tree sits in the zone of current Western Highway duplication works that have been carried out over the last several months between Ararat and Buangor, about 13-kilometres east of Ararat. The works are some of the first to take place in months due to ongoing protest and legal challenges over the project, which will widen and reroute parts of the current Western Highway, due to Indigenous heritage and environmental concerns. Protesters have been camped at multiple proposed worksites since June 2018 to prevent what they say are sacred Aboriginal sites being destroyed by the road project. Work on the project began in 2013 and no significant works were undertaken from mid-2018 until late 2019. Works are currently being conducted across a 3.85-kilometre stretch of road in Dobie, just east of Ararat, and began after an agreement was reached between road authority Major Road Projects Victoria and opposition groups in October 2019. Although the agreement expired on May 15 the road authority said it will not undertake any works outside the agreed zone before the end of May. In return project opponents agreed not to disrupt works with protests. However, in January 2020 activists believed the possible mortuary tree to be under immediate threat and conducted a peaceful protest to try and protect it. A mortuary tree typically has a hollow inside and contains remains, as well as grave goods. Remains can also be placed in branches. The custom is understood to be particularly prevalent among DjabWurrung groups. Lawyer Michael Kennedy, representing the Traditional Owners and environmentalists fighting the project, said the question of the tree’s status as a mortuary tree had not been adequately answered by Major Road Projects Victoria. If granted, the application - made under section 18 of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act - would have provided an immediate 48 hours of protection. Mr Kennedy said the federal environment department’s rejection stated it did not consider the tree to be under immediate threat, an assertion Mr Kennedy described as “absurd”. “This department is arguing that it’s not immediate because it’s

not happening right now, it’s not happening in a minute’s time,” he said. “It’s almost like there is an institutional bias at the state level and the government level against anyone who wants to stand up to what the institution says is right and what is wrong.” He said the protection was necessary because proper examination of the tree had not been conducted. A field investigation report called the Mortuary Tree Inspection Report prepared by Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management and published in 2012 details the methods used to examine 131 trees with hollows large enough to pass remains through. Some of the trees were examined using a camera on a flexible rod to see down into the hollow, and photos showing the base of two tree hollows were included in the report. But Mr Kennedy said it was not an adequate mode of inspection as any remains would likely be covered with a build up of litter. Twenty trees in particular need to be inspected more thoroughly, he said. The report stated that trees determined to be in need of further examination were done so in a separate report, called the Cameron Report (2012). The Mortuary Report said an arborist was employed to eliminate non-native trees from the inspection program but did not state how many trees were inspected in the separate report, and whether any qualified as possible mortuary trees. Mr Kennedy said he had requested a copy of the Cameron Report from Australian Cultural Heritage Management department but had been denied. He also said from his understanding, the tree hadn’t been included in the Mortuary Tree Inspection Report. “It met the criteria, it was very old - certainly more than 140 years old which was his (ACHM’s) point of distinction - it was very large, 5.6 metres around the girth, it had a hollow nearly three metres up and it was large enough for human remains to pass through. So why wasn’t it inspected?” he said. A second application regarding the same tree is still being considered by the government and if granted, would provide 30 days’ protection with the option of extending it another 30 days. The Horsham Times contacted Major Road Projects Victoria for comment and received the following background in response: “Traditional Owners, arborists and archaeologists conducted an endoscope and detailed inspections in 2012 and found no evidence of mortuary trees along the Western Highway between Beaufort and Stawell. “Each hollow in every tree of a suitable age were closely inspected, including those with hollows which

required a climbing inspection. “No mortuary trees were identified within the project area. An individual tree was reinspected in 2020 as part of ongoing consultation with Traditional Owners from the Recognised Traditional Owner groups. This inspection, by an experienced archaeologist and Traditional Owners, found no evidence of a mortuary tree. Traditional Owners have been involved in the planning for the Western Highway project since 2012. This has included Martang Pty Ltd, which was the Registered Aboriginal Party for the project area until August

2019, and Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation as the current Registered Aboriginal Party. These organisations are the recognised Traditional Owner organisations that represent the interests of the Djab Wurrung people and the project has the support of those organisations. The Cultural Heritage Management Plan for the upgrade was approved by Martang in accordance with the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (Vic) in October 2013. This plan included measures for the protection and respectful management

Fire erupts at Horsham’s Victoria Hotel

By Taylor Padfield A FIRE broke out at Horsham’s Victoria Hotel late Monday night causing significant structural damage. Emergency services were called to the fire on Monday night around 11.30pm. About 30 firefighters from Horsham, Dooen, Vectis and Murtoa arrived on scene. The Country Fire Authority’s Terence Fradd said firefighters found the owner of the hotel and his dog inside the building. The owner suffered from mild smoke inhalation and paramedics treated him on site.

of 21 Aboriginal heritage places as part of the project. Works are progressing on the 3.85 kilometres duplication of the Western Highway which has overwhelming support from locals, freight operators and road users. Major Road Projects Victoria has committed not to commence any works outside of this section, pending a decision from the Federal Environment Minister.” The Horsham Times also contacted Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management and did not receive a response.

“When the crew first arrived on the scene the laundry area was well alight … the flames were 10 metres high above the rear,” Mr Fradd said. Mr Fradd said investigations found that the cause of the fire was a laundry dryer. He said most of the damage was confined to the kitchen, laundry and dining area. “The estimated damage is in excess of $300,000,” Mr Fradd said. “Firefighters did a great job minimising the fire and the police did a great job shutting down the highway. “It has been a fantastic team effort from everyone involved here in Horsham.”

Motoring 2020 Rainbow Desert Enduro cancelled THE 2020 Hindmarsh Shire Rainbow Desert Enduro 560 has officially been cancelled after the tough decision was made by the Victorian Off Road Racing Association (VORRA). The event was set to take place in August. “This decision was not made lightly, and due to the amount of voluntary work and effort that goes into organising and preparing a National event, with the unknown timeline of restriction changes and the risk of transmission of COVID-19, both publicly and within the sport, we have to make a call at this time,” VORRA President Tony Carabott said. “Our members, volunteers, officials, competitors and the Rainbow township, are our number one priority when it comes to health and safety. “It’s a little upsetting but we are not the only ones who have had to make a decision like this, so we are looking forward to a bigger and better event in 2021 when everything has settled down,” he said. Motorsport Australia was informed of the decision late last week. “They, like all of us, are disappointed, but fully respect and support our decision. “We trust that you respect our decision. VORRA and the Rainbow community look forward to hosting the Rainbow Rises 240 in March 2021 and seeing as many of you there as possible,” Mr Carabott said. The BFGoodrich Motorsport Australia Off Road Championship’s (AORC) penultimate round was scheduled to take place on the final weekend of August, with more than 70 competitors and crews from around the country expected to attend. Rainbow is the now the second event on the 2020 AORC calendar to be cancelled as a result of COVID-19, with the Tatts Finke Desert Race making the announcement in March. St George’s season opener was postponed until later this year, with no new date yet confirmed. However, while Rainbow and Finke are now both off the 2020 calendar, Motorsport Australia Director of Motorsport and Commercial Operations Michael Smith was hopeful a three-round championship could still go ahead. “It’s disappointing the Hindmarsh Shire Rainbow Desert Enduro 560 was cancelled, but we fully respect and support VORRA’s decision,” Mr

• Robert Gossenhoven and Ivan Szkut send the mud flying as they sail over the finish line between laps at the 2019 Rainbow Desert Enduro.

Smith said. “Even though we have had some bad luck with two events no longer happening this year, we are confident of putting together a revised three-round championship once the government restrictions are lifted. “It’s important for us to make sure any events, including AORC events, are abiding by our detailed Return to Race strategy. “As this is a fluid situation, we will continue working with governments and event organisers to get a revised schedule released as soon as we can, so crews can begin their preparation as soon as possible.” The Rainbow Desert Enduro will return in 2021 at a date to be determined.

Hibernating vehicles need special care outside lockdown AS Australians begin to hit the road again and return to work, simple but important safety steps should be followed before getting back behind the wheel according to the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce). The Chamber is urging motorists to follow industry guidelines and recommission their vehicles, especially after being parked for such long periods, in preparation for returning to regular driving patterns. “After working from home, it is likely many people have not been using their vehicles regularly, if at all. However, as normal life resumes – we will need our cars, motorcycles and trucks to be in safe working order,” VACC chief executive, Geoff Gwilym said. Motorist should check their vehicles to avoid certain issues in particular including flat batteries, low tyre pressure and fuel degradation. Flat batteries: If a vehicle is not being used regularly, start it up in the driveway two or three times a week and let it idle for 10 minutes. If possible, use the vehicle once a week when doing the grocery shopping and, if it is a short

trip, extend the drive on the way home. Using a battery charger is also a good idea, but only if the manufacturer’s instructions are strictly followed Low tyre pressure: If a vehicle has not been driven for an extended period, walk around it to check for any signs of tyre deflation. Inflating all tyres – including the spare – to the manufacturer’s recommended pressures should be the first task when arriving at a service station on the first drive after ‘hibernation’ Fuel degradation: This is unlikely to be a problem unless a vehicle is left unused for several months. If possible, use the vehicle once a week when doing the grocery shopping and, if it is a short trip, take a longer route on the way home. Topping up the fuel tank with fresh petrol or diesel will avoid any problem with ‘stale’ fuel “Recommissioning a vehicle after prolonged inactivity is straightforward, but it’s important these basic steps are taken to ensure complete safety for all road users,” Mr Gwilym said.

20 THE HORSHAM TIMES - Friday, May 29, 2020

THE HORSHAM TIMES IS ALL IN THE FAMILY

• The Horsham Times team members Andrew Ward, Scott Stewart, David Ward and Jessica Taylor have a long history of publishing newspapers in the Wimmera and southern Mallee.

THE Ward family is carrying on a 123-year tradition of producing news for the Wimmera with today’s edition of The Horsham Times. Previously, editor David Ward’s grandfather, Jack Ward (J. V. S.) produced a newspaper of the same title for 38 years consecutively. Mr Ward and his children, Jessica Taylor and Andrew Ward, currently produce the Warracknabeal Herald, Dimboola Banner and The Argus. The Ward family has been putting out the news of the day to Wimmera readers since 1897. The original Horsham newspaper was first published by Edward Stephens in 1873 in a log hut in Firebrace Street by a staff of two. Horsham had a population of only 350. In 1897 George Ward bought an interest in the paper from second owner Fred Martin. In 1920 George Ward died and Fred Martin sold his interest to Ward’s family.

From there Jack Ward, George’s son, ran the show, and he would continue to run it until 1959. In 1933 Jack Ward also opened Horsham’s first radio station, 3HS, on Firebrace Street, which he sold in 1935 to the Melbourne Herald Group. In 1958 The Horsham Times won the John and James Cook award for best country bi-weekly or tri-weekly newspaper in Victoria. In 1959 Jack Ward began to suffer ill health and The Horsham Times was sold to Elliot Press, of Mildura, who shortly after sold it to News Corp and then amalgamated it with the West Wimmera Mail, creating the Wimmera Mail-Times. However, the Ward family has continued to publish local news, currently in the form of the Warracknabeal Herald, the Dimboola Banner and The Rainbow Argus. Current editor David Ward said he made the decision to publish

• George Ward purchased The Horsham Times in 1897.

The Horsham Times because the cessation of print editions covering Horsham, Stawell and surrounding communities had left a “vacuum” in local news. “We had many phone calls from people concerned about this lack of service and asked us to provide a newspaper,” Mr Ward said. “We’ve been in the game a long time and people knew the values of our approach to community journalism.” Mr Ward said the new publication

was a long-term commitment for the company, which he runs with his children, Jessica Taylor and Andrew Ward. “The demand for community news dictates that we’re viewing this

as a long-term project,” Mr Ward said. “Our family has had a long history and a long connection (with news) and Jessica and Andrew are fifth generation in this industry.”

Letter to the Editor

OUR local media outlets are vital to our regional communities. We rely on these services to keep provide the latest news and important updates, leading to an informed population and a stronger, more connected society. I want to congratulate the team at Horsham Times News for making the bold choice to start a new paper at a time when we have seen local media outlets shut down either permanently or temporarily. These are challenging times with many businesses struggling to

survive, while others will have to make difficult decisions. It is more important than ever to support local businesses where we can, while doing our part to stop the spread of the Coronavirus. Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, I have been working closely with the Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts, Paul Fletcher, as well as the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, to ensure our local media outlets are supported. I’m glad to have contributed to an increase in

Federal Government advertising on Coronavirus in regional outlets, and to the development of a new grant program – the Public Interest News Gathering program. I will continue to work with my colleagues in government to ensure that regional journalism is supported through these times into the future. I wish the Horsham Times News team every success as they launch and provide this vital service to the Horsham community, and I look forward to reading the first issue! Anne Webster MP

$19.8 MILLION WARRACKNABEAL EDUCATION PRECINCT ON ITS WAY

• State Education Minister James Merlino, “Finish What You Started” Advocate Karly Kirk, Yarriambiack Shire Council Mayor Graeme Massey and Labor MP Jaala Pulford met to discuss the status of the Warracknabeal Education Project earlier this year.

By James Thomas WARRACKNABEAL can look forward to the construction of the town’s education precinct after receiving $19.8 million for the final stage of funding. Announced last week, the Warracknabeal Education Precinct will receive funds to complete the second stage of the precinct’s masterplan, which had remained partially completed under the $6 million granted in 2016-17. Under the precinct’s masterplan, construction of Warracknabeal Primary School will be completed, including new classrooms and outdoor areas. A new special development

building will be built on the former primary school site, featuring classrooms, a gallery and arts space, as well as a sensory area and home craft area. Funding Warracknabeal Secondary College will receive funding for a new manual activities building, including area for horticulture, wood working, motor mechanics and metal fabrication. The funding will also go towards building a central and consolidated administration area, gymnasium and function room. Elated after years of campaigning, Warracknabeal resident and Finish What You Started campaigner Karly Kirk said that this would help make

the school a hub of the community. “We’ve got one third of the school finished so this will go towards completing everything including the primary school,”she said. “We’re really grateful to be able to receive this funding in one large payment.” With new and refurbished buildings, Ms Kirk hoped that this would help the community’s development. “Some professionals have been sending their kids to other schools outside of Warracknabeal but now that we will have this new beautiful school, we will be able to attract them here.” Ms Kirk commended the efforts of everyone involved, notably teachers

at the school for their efforts while awaiting the completion of the precinct. “Our teachers are brilliant and they have been making the best of the situation,” she said. Thankful Thankful for the community’s support, Warracknabeal Secondary College principal Therese Allen said that education precinct would complement the education opportunities available to students and teachers. “It will make a significant impact to our learning environment, which didn’t reflect the quality education that teachers provide,” she said. “It’s been a project that the community has been persistently working to secure and we are just ecstatic.” In addition to assisting current students and teachers, Ms Allen said that it would help to attract other teachers from outside the region. “If you are trying to attract staff, it will certainly help us with recruitment when teachers see stateof-the-art facilities and see all those things that they are looking for in a school and hopefully will leave no questions in their mind,” she said. Excited Warracknabeal Primary School principal Ben Tait was equally as excited for the precinct’s construction, saying that it would help to ensure students received a quality education. “When we start working with these new state-of-the-art facilities, it is going to complement the teaching that is already here,” he said. “It’s a fantastic outcome for the whole community.” Although the Victorian Government has not announced a timeline, Mr Tait was hopeful that

construction would begin by the year’s end given the project is in its advanced stages. Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said that the Victorian Government’s $1.18 billion education building program would ensure that all Victorians get access to a quality education. “The Warracknabeal community deserves no less. They have been so patient, and I’m thrilled that we will now be able to finish what we started here and create jobs,” she said. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy welcomed the announcement, saying that the precinct was important to continuing the town’s prosperity. “This project is one of the biggest rebuilds ever undertaken in our electorate, and its importance cannot be overstated,” she said. “Every student, whether they live in the country or the city, deserves the opportunity to learn in a first-class environment. The new Warracknabeal Education Precinct will ensure this, while also helping to attract new families to the town to help the community continue to grow and prosper.” Fast-tracked In the Premier’s and Education Minister’s announcement, they indicated that the timeline for most projects would be on a fasttracked timeline between three to six months, however the Education Minister’s office was unable to confirm whether this was the case for Warracknabeal prior to publication. Prior to coronavirus pandemic, it was expected that the Victorian School Building Authority would enter six to nine months of preconstruction planning for the second stage constructions. It is expected that the buildings will be opened from 2022.

New home for Horsham Visitor Centre By JessieAnne Gartlan HORSHAM’S visitor centre will be relocated to the arts precinct in a bid to boost the local tourism industry. At its May ordinary meeting Horsham Rural City councillors voted in favour four to two of moving the centre from O’Callaghans Parade to the Town Hall on Pynsent Street following recommendations made in a recent report from Grampians Tourism. The report, completed in August 2019, recommended that tourism bodies - including local governments - pool their resources in order to reduce costs and create a coordinated approach to tourism. The report described the Town Hall as a potential site for an ‘evolved Visitor Information Centre’. Director Communities and Place Kevin O’Brien said the move would take between six to 12 months and the initiative will be funded by the council. “The implementations will require fit-out for the Horsham Town Hall and an investment in digital delivery,” he said. “Funding will come from the current operational budget and additional funds from the 2020/2021 budget, subject to council adoption, for any upgrades required. “There will be some savings as a result of consolidating operations into one facility. This is in relation to building operating costs.” Mr O’Brien said that costs involved in moving the centre to the Town Hall had not yet been identified.

At the meeting Councillor Josh Koenig said the new site could help stimulate the local economy in the wake of COVID-19 by bringing tourists into the CBD. However, the plan has received some criticism, including from councillors David Grimble and John Robinson, who both voted against it. Cr Robinson said the Town Hall would not provide adequate parking to tourists. “I’m not opposed to improving tourism but the notion to move the centre to the Town Hall. It doesn’t make a lot of sense,” he said at the meeting. “The current visitor centre is very accessible to traffic coming into town and it’s easy for people to park. “What’s proposed is an area adjacent to Target that would cater for one or two or three long vehicles. “To expect the tourist community to actually manoeuvre to that location, do a U-turn to park, then get out and walk to the tourist centre is just not practical, won’t work and can’t work.” The council had previously discussed the issue at its February meeting but deferred voting until more information could be provided about the cost and impact of the plan. Cr Alethea Gulvin was one of the councillors who voted to delay the motion to May but voted in favour of it at the meeting. However, she also cited concerns around parking. “If we’ve got people coming in who are not familiar with Horsham or who are coming here for a visit,

I think having adequate parking for them to attend the Visitor Information Centre is crucial,” she said. “If we are to review and make sure that we are constantly checking how we’re doing things with best practice, and whether or not it is functioning adequately, then I'd be more than happy to support the motion as it stands.” Cr Pam Clarke said the plan to centralise the centre was in-line with the way other cities and countries were adapting to a tourism industry that was increasingly centralising its tourism businesses in towns and

adapting to the way tourists used the internet. “This is a world-wide trend; this is not just happening in Horsham, it’s happening everywhere in Australia and world-wide,” she said. She also cited the plan’s positive impact on the council's budget. The council consulted with Business Horsham and the Tourism Advisory Committee and other stakeholders. “The Tourism Advisory Committee and Business Horsham were provided an opportunity to comment on the proposal, there were no issues

identified, they were supportive of the proposed changes as a result of the review,” Mr O’Brien said. The report also put forward a recommendation to create a single online ‘omnichannel’ to support the integrated tourism plan that was also voted in at the meeting. The channel would help eliminate duplicate efforts across multiple bodies to provide for the tourism industry. The council also stated at its meeting that utilising an omnichannel would provide more access to funding and resources for tourism.

Horsham’s homeschooling hero By Taylor Padfield HORSHAM mum Emma Criddle has been juggling work as a nurse with homeschooling during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. The single mum said she homeschooled her sixyear-old daughter Alyssa whilst working at Wimmera Base Hospital, studying online full-time and “napping somewhere in between”. “Due to COVID-19 the borders have closed, and all of my family live in South Australia, so my main supporters were unreachable physically,” Ms Criddle said. “We relied heavily on video calling family and Alyssa’s school friends for social interaction during isolation.” On Monday Ms Criddle was announced as the deserving winner of Exquisite Boutique’s ‘homeschooling heroes’ competition. The Horsham boutique asked for people to nominate a mum whose homeschooling efforts deserved recognition and a $300 shopping spree. “I am extremely excited as life has been a bit of a downhill battle lately emotionally and physically, and this has definitely brought me some light,” Ms Criddle said. “Homeschooling has been very difficult for everyone involved, that’s for sure.” She said homeschooling has given her a whole new respect for teachers. “As Alyssa is in grade one, she still has a young mind and therefore a very short attention span,” Ms Criddle said. “But I could not be more proud of my little girl.” Ms Criddle said the experience has definitely made her realise that face-to-face learning in classrooms is important. “Alyssa was excited to go back to school … and said she really missed her teachers as they ‘teach properly’.”

Funding bonus for hospital

WIMMERA Health Care Group Ladies Auxiliary has donated $50,000 to Wimmera Health Care to help see it through the challenges of COVID-19. Auxiliary chair Denise Queale said the committee normally worked on fundraising for a specific item such as a bariatric bed or a monitor. “When the pandemic started, we just decided to make a big donation and let the health service decide where the money could be best utilised,” she said. “As volunteers we were not going to be able to help physically but we wanted to show as much support as possible.” Mrs Queale said the pandemic • Keeping social distancing, Ladies Auxiliary members Elaine Morrison, Denise Queale and had diverted the annual fashion parade, which was regularly the Dianne Lewis present a $50,000 cheque to WHCG CEO Catherine Morley.

End of an era for Dimboola Newsagency

AN era of long standing service to the community is sadly due to come to an end in Dimboola this week. After 18 and a half years, the Dimboola Newsagency will cease operations, with the Albrecht family closing the business on Sunday, May 31 being the last day of operation. Wayne and Judith Albrecht and their family have described the decision as being ‘gut wrenching’ for them. They had pondered the future of the business for a long time, listing the business for sale quite some time ago without

success. “We’ve been operating the newsagency for a long time and at this stage of our lives we needed to find a new direction for ourselves. “Despite considerable support from our community, times have been challenging for everyone including this business, particularly with the advent of online and digital media reducing the number of newspapers and magazines being circulated, and online shopping taking business away from the newsagency,” Mr Albrecht said.

WIND FARM CLOSER TO SECOND PHASE

• A new transformer is delivered to the Murra Wurra Wind Farm site, and below, workers begin to move into place a new transformer which was delivered last week.

• The Albrecht family of Madison, parents Judith and Wayne will say farewell as the Dimboola Newsagency closes its doors on Sunday.

THE Murra Warra Wind Farm is one step closer to the completion of its second phase project after a transformer was delivered Thursday last week. The 135 tonne transformer was delivered by trailer in the afternoon, travelling through Horsham around midday, arriving at the wind farm around 2pm. The turbine left Melbourne around 1am and travelled up the Western Highway, through the Henty Highway where it was greeted by workers at Murra Wurra. RES Australia was looking at constructing 55 turbines under the second stage of the windfarm, taking the total number of turbines to 116. Once completed, the total energy output of the wind farm is expected be around 420MW which will power approximately 200,000 homes. Although construction on the

“It is with a heavy heart that we have made this decision, as we have had tremendous support from many people over the years, not only our loyal customers, but particularly our staff such as Carolyn Ross and then Raelene McKinnon, both over nine years with us. “Looking back, we’ve employed dozens of ‘paper kids’ and it has been gratifying to see these young people learning a work ethic, reliability and punctuality, skills which have put them in good stead for their working lives and careers in later life, many have gone on to doing great things with their lives, and that’s not to mention the mums and dads who have filled in or continued on after their kids have left school and moved on,” Mr Albrecht said. The Albrecht family took over the business from Allan Hawker who ran the newsagency for 38 years prior to them taking over in 2001. “Despite the number of magazine and newspaper titles disappearing from our stands and going out of print over the years, we have been fortunate to have had the support of the community over the years including through the tough times,” The Dimboola Newsagency has well and

truly been a family business with Judith working in the shop, except while having their children, Rebekah and Madison, who also worked there, once old enough. In recent times Wayne has taken on a role as merchandise sales with Nutrien in Dimboola, while Judith has been working in aged care. For the last few months Madison has been running the newsagency taking three months off from Melbourne to help run the business. At this stage nothing is firmly in place, but it is understood that three or four outlets in Dimboola may take on the sale of newspapers and magazines. The Dimboola IGA supermarket, will stock The Horsham Times, Warracknabeal Herald, Dimboola Banner and Rainbow Argus. Wimmer Bakery business owner Russell Miller said that the Wimmera Bakery will likely take on the distribution of the daily papers and magazines. “Nothing is in place as yet, but we think it is likely we can become an outlet for the papers and magazines as we are open early and would suit as a retailer for these publication,” Mr Miller said.

AFL small group training can resume By JessieAnne Gartlan THE region’s football and netball clubs could be one step closer to a 2020 season after training was allowed to resume, albeit under strict conditions. AFL Victoria released its small training protocol last week which outlined the rules clubs must follow if they wish to resume training. The protocols include limiting training sessions to groups of 10 people, ensuring a distance of 1.5 metres is maintained between individuals, no tackling, fist bumping or other physical contact, and limiting the use of equipment. AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon said it would be up to clubs whether or not to resume training under the protocols. “There’s no compulsion to do it but if they do wish to return to training, they need to implement these protocols,” he said. “The return of the season will be decided by each of the leagues and the clubs. It won’t be a directive that comes from AFL Victoria - it will be up to each league to make their own decision on whether they wish to continue pursuing a season.” Muldoon said despite the good news there was no clear path forward at this early stage. AFL Wimmera Mallee confirmed earlier this week that it would wait until the state government announced the next easing of restrictions before it would consider a 2020 season. However, if an announcement is not made before mid-June then AFL Wimmera Mallee will meet on June 15 to reassess the season for the region’s leagues. “The landscape is moving all the time and we don’t know what the government restrictions will look like (in the future),” he said. “If we knew that we could plan ahead, but we just don’t know when and if the crowd restrictions are going to be reduced or increased.” But for the time being clubs and

leagues will continue to do what they can to be in the best possible position going forward. “I think we’re just working through a process,” Muldoon said. “We’re so guided by what the government allows us to do so it’s really a matter of implementing what the government guidelines are telling us.” Horsham Saints president Nathan Martin said the club began running a modified training schedule last Monday. “We will start under-14 training on Monday and Wednesday night,” he said. “Traditionally that would be on Tuesday and Thursday but we needed to break it up across the whole week to get that spread.

“Our under-13s will train on Tuesday and Thursday at 4pm and then after the under-13s the seniors will train.” The training protocols also state that no indoor training can take place, a restriction that will have an impact on netball clubs. “We usually use the St Brigid’s stadium for netball so we can’t (do that),” Martin said. “We are going to use the Central Park courts in Horsham for netball training.” Martin said it was a relief to be able to see training resume. “Particularly for kids who haven’t been able to go to school and haven’t been able to catch up with their friends, to be able to get together in small groups is fantastic,” he said.
