CHILD HEALTH CONCERNS By JessieAnne Gartlan
SINGLE mothers have expressed concerns that they can’t access child health services under current restrictions. A Wimmera resident, whom we’ve chosen not to name, is a mother of two young children aged four months and one. The mother said she was denied an appointment at the Horsham Maternal and Child Health Centre for her baby because she couldn’t find a carer for her eldest. The centre has implemented a ‘one child, one adult per appointment’ system to limit health risks while the region remains under stage three restrictions. The system was put in place following a recommendation from the Department of Health and Human Services. The mother said that when she tried to make another appointment for her baby she was again told she needed to find someone to look after her eldest, or bring him and leave him in the foyer. “They expect my son to sit in the front foyer when he’s not even two,” she said. “When I’ve had my previous appointments I said I needed to bring my other child, and they said ‘well you need to try and find someone to look after him’. “Single mums don’t have anyone else to look after their child.” The mother said after speaking with centre staff she was allowed to bring her eldest but said “they weren’t happy about it”. “It was quick to get in and out. I haven’t had my baby weighed since eight weeks, and she’s just turned four months. I had letters regarding her immunisation recently and I got very emotional because I don’t have anyone.” In an emailed response a spokeswoman for the centre said no
families had been excluded and the system will remain in place while restrictions apply. “All parents were considered as our aim is to keep all families and staff as safe as possible,” the spokeswoman said. “No families have been excluded or asked to not come if they cannot adhere to the recommendation. We will continue to see families even if they need to bring additional children.” The spokeswoman said the centre had been contacted by clients who were not sure how to go about
obtaining appointments under the current restrictions. “We have had one Facebook enquiry which we responded to by asking the parent to contact their nurse to discuss, and we have also had a grandparent contact via customer service to make a complaint on Thursday,” she said. “This was responded to by informing the family that they would be able to come if they had to bring additional children. “The nurses have also had discussions with different families throughout lock down, again
informing families that they can still come if they need to bring additional children.” Horsham resident Taelor Ashlee is another single mum of two children, Isaiah, 3, and Jasper, 1. She said the system had left her nervous and uncertain. “It’s given me anxiety because ever since I found out about it I was like I don’t know what I’m meant to do with my other child,” she said. “I was having a freak out about whether I could take my boy for immunisation. My four-year-old has to go in a couple of months … I
can’t leave him outside on his own.” Wimmera mother Kimberley Henshaw also uses the service and said it seemed like single parents of young children had few options. “You can’t leave one at home - they are too young,” she said. “I don’t know what they expect us to do.” The mother identified earlier said she understood the need for health and safety measures but there needed to be more appropriate options for parents with few options.

LOCKDOWN HOPE
VICTORIAN Premier Daniel Andrews will announce the government’s plan for easing restrictions across the state on Sunday, just a week before stage three lockdown is due to end in regional Victoria. In the meantime Wimmera residents largely continue to follow the rules. Full story - P8.

OPINION Border communities are not a virus threat to cities PRIME Minister Scott Morrison’s declaration on Friday - that he will introduce a Commonwealth deďŹ nition for the term ‘Hotspot’ and that he would press state governments to adopt it – is welcome news in border communities like the ones I represent in Victoria’s north-west. My electorate of Mallee borders both the states of South Australia and NSW. An ofďŹ cial Commonwealth deďŹ nition will give rise to nationally consistent travel restrictions and – by extension – nationally consistent criteria for permissible travel across state borders. This will particularly help towns and regions which adjoin each other along those borders, most of which have long been – and remain – COVIDfree. This matters because every aspect of daily life in border communities has been disrupted and reshaped with the imposition by state governments of border closures, too often without reference to either the National Cabinet or the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) and without any transparent disclosure of medical grounds for those closures. As has been widely reported, hard border closures by the governments of NSW and South Australia, under the guise of emergency virus controls, have in recent weeks prevented Victorian children and teachers going to school, stopped farmers tending livestock on interstate properties, impeded access to medical care and kept doctors and nurses from going to work. There are also signiďŹ cant numbers of rural Australians who have not been allowed to attend funerals, visit family or even return from boarding schools and colleges, when they were coming from – and heading to – non-COVID localities. People’s lives in border regions – where there have been zero or very low active cases for ďŹ ve months – have been turned upside down, with no scientiďŹ c explanation or justiďŹ cation from state leaders. This continues to cause distress and inconvenience on a scale which is itself posing very real risks to public
health and safety. These risks are being realised every time a Mallee resident is refused an exemption to access healthcare on the other side of a border. For months, individuals needing to obtain medical treatment on the other side of closed borders have asked me to advocate for them because their requests for exemptions – which should have enabled them to cross those borders – had been repeatedly denied. These are people with life-threatening conditions. Josie, a three-year-old girl with malignant cancer was denied an exemption four times, even though her specialist said she needed follow-up surgery. Sally, Marcia and John – who all require ongoing treatment for cancer – were likewise repeatedly denied permission to cross borders for this purpose. Not one reason or explanation has been provided for these decisions. It is unfathomable that in modern Australia, these decisions are being made by unelected health ofďŹ cials. An independent examination of how state governments have handled this pandemic would be valuable given we live in a federation under which every single one of us is an ‘Australian.’ People were truly shocked when Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said: “People living in NSW, they have NSW hospitals. In Queensland we have Queensland hospitals for our people.â€? Ms Palaszczuk’s “peopleâ€? are Australian tax-payers, as are my constituents. Section 117 of the Australian constitution is meant to ensure all Australians are treated equally by state governments (and their hospitals). The imposition of tough closedborder measures has been intended not only to restrict, but to deter and prevent, cross-border travel. There has been little understanding for border communities and how they live. Cross-border movements must be considered sensibly, reasonably and in
a balanced way. Australians – including regional Australians – expect access to medical assistance, school and work, and where farmers have properties on either side of a state border, they should be able to access those properties. This is what Section 92 of Australia’s constitution addresses. The schematic details of a national code for cross-border travel by agricultural workers – the Agriculture Workers Code – is due to be considered by the National Cabinet this week and will provide a framework for other contested activities such as health and education. There is scope for a National Health Code as well as a National Education Code, if not a combined all-encompassing National Code for Borders. After certain tragic events last week, the need for national protocols for the expeditious transfer of patients from hospital in one state to hospital in another state – with minimal red tape – is now glaringly obvious. Such steps have never been necessary before, but if we are to ‘live with’ COVID for a period of time until a vaccine is available, they will deserve careful consideration. Where permits are mandatory to cross borders, it is reasonable for Australians to expect that their applications will be considered quickly and afforded a transparent appeals process. I think the creation of a national commissioner would be helpful, to arbitrate between states proposing to close borders and to adjudicate appeals from individuals affected by those closures. The commissioner would head a responsive and agile mechanism, considerate of the national interest, with the agreement of all states to abide by this umpire’s decisions. The Commonwealth of Australia was not devised to be divided by borders. It was created to overcome them. Dr Anne Webster MP - Federal Member for Mallee
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I agree with Cr Erwin, chair of the Western Highway Action Committee, ( 29th Aug article by Caitlyn Quinn) that upgrading the Western highway is a matter of safety. However, I would expect any highway upgrade, constructed anywhere, to be safe. Location does not determine the level of safety, but since he mentions it, the chosen route departs from the existing highway to plunge into a valley prone to fog. Safety can be achieved in many ways. Carving a 50 metre wide gash, in places 15 metre deep, through 5.7 km of countryside is not the only way. Installing safety barriers and careful design can also provide a safe highway. It simply does not make sense for the highway to deviate from the existing route, through Djabwurrung country, in the name of safety. So what is the real reason for the planned route? An alternative safe route, avoiding culturally sensitive Djabwurrung land should be found. Rosemary Bates Ararat This week we celebrated a little win with the South Australian border re-opening to cross-border community members, although still under restricted circumstances. This was
great news, especially for those who work, go to school or access medical treatment over the border. However, I know these restrictions are still causing anxiety and angst for many people in the community, so please continue to look out for each other. As we move closer to September 13, when stage 3 restrictions are set to expire, I want to remind people not to be complacent. It is still important to follow the rules and do the right thing. Even as restrictions are eased, please only travel if it is absolutely necessary and try to limit the number of people you come into contact with. We all still need to work together to slow the spread and we don’t want to be back under more restrictions in a few months’ time We are coming into spring, meaning warmer weather is on the way. If you do go outside and enjoy the sunshine, please do so safely. West Wimmera Shire Council staff have a number of programs in place at the moment to try to keep people socially connected. This week the kindergarten children made special gifts to brighten the day of those stuck at home. These were distributed to residents by our Community Support Workers. There is also a West Wimmera Shire poetry competition and a kid’s art competition happening at the moment,

Bruce Meyer Mayor – West Wimmera Shire Council Dear Editor Agriculture is an essential service. Recent state border restrictions have caused challenges for many regional communities, including our farmers who need workers to harvest their produce and have free movement across state lines in order to keep their businesses running. But, I note with dismay that instead of working together, National MPs are more interested in talking about themselves and blaming others than supporting local communities. The border restrictions affecting Victorian farmers have been made by three Coalition governments; New South Wales, South Australia
and the Commonwealth. Yet many weeks since this issue ďŹ rst arose these three governments have been unable to alleviate the anguish and frustration caused by their decisions. A pragmatic solution to allow permitted workers to cross state borders should have been sorted out by the Nationals and Liberals long ago. The Federal Government needs to show leadership and common sense. Federal Agriculture Minister and Nationals MP, David Littleproud, recently announced a ‘breakthrough’ to the agricultural labour workforce issue by developing a new code to ďŹ x this problem but it’s going to take a couple of weeks. And still no details on how the code would operate. The agriculture sector has faced workforce challenges for a number of years, and the Nationals have known about it as evidenced by its Agriculture Workforce Strategy. The COVID crisis has merely exacerbated labour shortfalls because of travel restrictions. Cross-border communities deserve better. Yours sincerely Senator Raff Ciccone Federal Labor Senator for Victoria

‘COVID-19 SAFE’ KANNAMAROO FESTIVAL SET TO CELEBRATE HORSHAM By Chris Michaels
THE Horsham Kannamaroo Festival will go ahead in November with a series of COVID-19 safe events. Kannamaroo Festival Incorporated committee president Di Bell said although the Friday night Firebrace Street festival and parade would not go ahead, the committee had been working hard to ďŹ nd activities it could hold. “We needed to think outside of the square when planning, considering the issues with COVID-19,â€? Ms Bell said. “We will be using quite a few venues around town and one of the events I can tell you is a pyro musical ďŹ reworks display at the showgrounds.â€? Ms Bell and the committee said they wanted to make sure the festival went ahead to show people that there was a way through the pandemic, and to avoid joining a host of other Wimmera events that have been cancelled. “Initially the committee was surprised when I said we needed to make sure the festival went ahead, even in a modiďŹ ed format,â€? Ms Bell said. “The normal as we knew it may be gone, but
is that a problem? “We’ve had to learn that this is the new normal, and that things can happen.â€? Ms Bell said that a modiďŹ ed festival could mean not just doing things differently, but better than previous years’ festivals. “We’re discussing doing a drive-in movie as one new thing to do,â€? she said. “We need to plan for events that can be enclosed, or involve people going to something in their cars. We might call on other community organisations to help out with venues or support. “We will spread the numbers of people out if that is what we have to do at the time, so we can still social distance if needed under the restrictions. We would like businesses on the Friday to have a festival type of atmosphere in town, but without the street fair.â€? Ms Bell said an emphasis away from just using technology to interact with the festival was important. “The virtual world has been awesome help since COVID-19 began, like using Zoom and meetings online, but personally I’m over the virtual side of things,â€? she said. The Kannamaroo Festival will be running from November 27 to 29.

THE Wimmera Machinery Field Days event scheduled for March 2021 has been cancelled for the ďŹ rst time in the event’s 58 year history. It is another blow for the region in what has been a year of cancelled events and lost plans. Field Days manager Murray Wilson said the lack of certainty, and need for a long planning period meant it was not practical to run the event next year. WMFD is Australia’s largest broadacre focused agricultural event and hosts over 100 exhibitors from interstate as well as company reps from across Australia. “The committee made the decision based on the uncertainty and risk attached to holding the event,â€? Mr Wilson said. “The size and importance of the event meant we couldn’t put off a decision for much longer. “We looked at the risks and whether we could make it a safe event.â€? Mr Murray said the cancellation wouldn’t just affect the Wimmera but also the exhibitors and farmers who come from interstate for the three days.
“We have over 100 companies coming across from interstate and a lot of individuals travelling and the uncertainty of borders being closed made it hard,â€? he said. “The impact hits community groups who use the ďŹ eld days as their major fundraising for the year. Horsham suffers too with businesses in town not having those accommodation bookings and an increase in people visiting the region. The ripple effect will be a major loss.â€? Horsham Motel owner Arshdeeb Goraya said the WMFD brings in lots of money for local businesses who rely on tourism to survive. The cancellation of the event was tough news in an already challenging year. “Every year we wait for March,â€? Ms Goraya said. “At the moment it is really quiet and it’s hard. “We were hoping that if everything gets better that maybe we would get busy in March at least.â€? For farmers, the ďŹ eld days represented a chance to talk business and developments in agriculture as well as a chance to catch up socially. • CONT. PAGE 12

Free Transfer Station Load Council is offering one free waste load to all ratepayers with a garbage or recycling charge on their 2020/2021 annual rate notice. Due to the new Environment Protection Act coming into effect on 1 January 2021, compulsory landfill levy fees paid to the EPA will be increasing this financial year. These landfill levy fees will increase the cost of waste disposal, which is one of the key costs associated with providing a kerbside waste collection service to residents. As a result of this, ratepayers will experience a slightly larger increase in their waste charges this year, in comparison to previous years. Council is mindful of the larger kerbside collection cost for ratepayers, and therefore will be offering one free waste load to all customers paying this fee. These ratepayers are able to dispose of one load of waste (other than mattresses, tyres or asbestos) in a 6’x 4’ trailer or a car boot to be used at: Horsham Transfer Station, 93 Kenny Road, Horsham; or Quantong Transfer Station, 497 Lanes Avenue, Quantong.

Pharmaceuticals named leading cause of accidental overdose By JessieAnne Gartlan
A NEW study has found that the leading cause of accidental death by overdose in regional Victoria is prescription drugs. Wimmera Uniting program leader of AoD, and homelessness services Kate Waterworth said the finding highlighted the risks of prescription medication. “The fact that accidental overdose is quite high in our area is not surprising to me because there’s a real lack of awareness around how accidental overdose occurs,” she said. Australia’s Annual Overdose Report 2020 was released on August 31 and showed a significant increase in the number of deaths by accidental overdose in regional and rural Victoria since 2008, compared to Melbourne. It also found that the gap between regional Victoria and Melbourne had continued to widen significantly since 2012. ‘In 2018, the rate of unintentional druginduced deaths in regional and rural Victoria was 7.6 per 100,000 population, compared with 5.0 for Melbourne.’ Benzodiazepine was the drug most involved with accidental drug-induced deaths in regional Victoria, at 3.9 deaths per 100,000 population in 2018, followed by other pharmaceuticals at 3.4 deaths per 100,000 of population in the same year. In Melbourne the two drug types with the highest level of involvement in accidental death was benzodiazepine and heroin, both at 2.7 deaths per 100,000. Benzodiazepine is a depressant that is commonly prescribed for conditions like insomnia, anxiety, and seizures. Mixing it with alcohol can be fatal. Ms Waterworth said it was not unusual for benzodiazepine to be misused or unknowingly mixed with other prescription drugs. “We see more the youth to mid-aged cohort use the prescription not as prescribed,” she said. “If they can’t get their hands on certain drugs
they might misuse their prescribed medication.” Ms Waterworth said the report’s reference to other pharmaceuticals almost certainly referred to a variety of prescription or pharmacy medications. Ms Waterworth said the risk lay in assumptions that a medication was “safe” because it was prescribed by a medical professional. “A lot of it is people being released after having a surgery and taking medication prescribed by their doctor,” she said. “They think it’s safe and they’re not aware of the dangers of the medication they are taking. “We have had clients in the past before where they’ve been given a bag of medication upon release from the hospital - it’s about the relationship when drugs are mixed with alcohol.” Compounding the risk was any failure by the patient to disclose medication they don’t take regularly, including common painkillers simply because they don’t realise it’s relevant. “A lot of people who have been well all their life and have probably only taken Panadol, Nurofen and Ibuprofen then become unwell and have to take more serious drugs,” Ms Waterworth said. “Then they don’t understand the relationship drugs can have when taken in combination, and then they combine it with alcohol and that can lead to accidental overdose. You have people thinking that because the medication is prescribed they can be taken together.” The GP shortage in regional Victoria created another risk factor. “You have to see whoever you can get into, and if they don’t have your history then they are reliant on the patient providing the information and our memories can fail us,” she said. Ms Waterworth said one of Uniting Wimmera’s goals was to increase education in the community as well as provide appropriate levels of support to anyone struggling with addiction. “There are a number of programs we offer,”
she said. “We want to raise awareness that our overdose prevention groups are not just for people who are thought of as drug users. “It’s to keep people safe and provide education and awareness about preventing overdose. “We also offer counselling and that is for drugs and alcohol. We offer care and recovery
for lots of different things. “A part of it might be us getting them connected in the community to help continue their recovery. It might be helping them get linked into detox or withdrawal units, or to facilitate home-based withdrawal. “Our programs are harm minimisation based, so we’re not abstinence based.”
Sharing art in troubled times By Thomas Duncan
LOCAL poet and photographer Neville Hiatt is working to bring colour and joy to those struggling through lockdown. Mr Hiatt’s work was recently displayed in the Redrocks Gallery in the centre of Horsham. The show was a retrospective exhibition, featuring photos and poems from his first two books, ‘The Bard from Ballarat’ volumes one and two. The works have been displayed before in other locations, but the restrictions on both audience numbers and travel made these works a logical choice, according to Mr Hiatt. “They’ve been out for a few years, but it’s an easy one to get up on the walls quickly, especially given the restrictions to who can attend or might see it,” he said. As a born resident of Horsham, Mr Hiatt was pleased to finally be able to have his work exhibited in his hometown. He has also been releasing weekly readings of poetry from his book ‘52’ online, and engaging more with fans online by releasing photos from his upcoming calendars. “I’m hoping to give people who are a little more locked up a view into other worlds.” Mr Hiatt said. “It might not dramatically change the world, but it might just be enough to give them a different view or outlook for a brief moment.” Mr Hiatt said he looked forward to restrictions easing so he could share his work more easily.

The public launch of a new australian anthology book titled 18.5 in which his work features has been delayed by COVID-19. The book is launching privately in late September instead. He had also hoped to be working on a more narrative photo series called the Journey series, part one and two of which have been displayed in Ballarat and Melbourne. He is instead focusing on getting his 2021 calendars completed so he can get them printed by the new year. Mr Hiatt said that he would love to have either of these projects on public display soon, but restrictions were too tight. “Printing a whole new batch of work would require actually being able to get people into a gallery.”

minimise the effect of cosmic radiation on the device, which will allow for more precise data measurement. The project is being led by University of Melbourne professor and director of the research centre Elisabetta Barberio. “We expect that in about one year from now, we will be able to fit out a high-tech laboratory,” Professor Barberio said. Federal member for Wannon Dan Tehan said the laboratory would be an international drawcard in its scientific community. “The underground laboratory will attract world-leading scientists to Australia to conduct important research.” Federal support for the project in the form of a $5M allocation allowed the excavation to be undertaken, with $10M estimated to complete it. The next step will be to award a contract to build the underground lab itself, with the University of Melbourne undergoing a tender process later this year. Mr Cole said of Stawell Gold Mine’s involvement, “We think it’s great for the community, the science community especially. In a regional setting, STEM development is very important and we look forward to supporting it into the future.”

to be sprayed to reinforce the cavern for the next stage. “The materials used to secure the cavern and cover the rock walls were all specially sourced to ensure the environment is suitable to host the types of experiments which will be located within the laboratory,” Stawell Gold Mines general manager Troy Cole said. Stawell Gold Mines had brought on additional staff to complete the excavations. “We nested it into our daily operations, and executed the excavation over the course of the last 12 months.” Mr Cole said. “We took on roughly another 200 people during the restart of the mines, with about 10 people actually engaged with that specific excavation.” “Of course it’s broader reaching than that. There are the universities involved with it, independent auditing functions through mining firms because it’s sponsored by the state government, and even agencies as far reaching as Western Australia who advised design and science.” The laboratory will be situated roughly one kilometre below the earth, and host a detector called a Sodium Iodide with Active Background Rejection, or SABRE.

Committee appointed to revitalise the Northern Grampians By Thomas Duncan
THE Northern Grampians Shire has appointed members of a Project Steering Committee to develop a plan to aid the local economy and well being. The members of the committee were selected from industries that the council identified as key to the shire, as well as those most impacted by COVID-19. The committee is chaired by Councillor Tony Driscoll, and features members from local agriculture, mining, tourism, education, and more. Cr Driscoll said the committee was designed to both help nurture and grow current businesses, as well as attract new businesses to the area. “The long term goal is the economic sustainability of our shire,” Cr Driscoll said. The committee will also use feedback from the council’s ‘have your say’ feedback portal on their website to inform the decisions it makes. “It’s about engaging as much as we can with key stakeholders in our community, and then broadening that out to then target a couple of specific areas that we think will drive our local economy,” Cr Driscoll said. “Our region is blessed with natural resources, a massive tourism industry, we have lots of things here. Whether it be value adding or bringing new
business, that’s the sort of stuff the conversation will be centred around.” Chief executive of Grampians Tourism and committee member Marc Sleeman said he was glad to be involved in guiding the region’s economic development. “It opens up to identify some of that critical infrastructure and development we need from an economic perspective,” Mr Sleeman said. “We were seeing double digit growth in visitation before COVID-19, but we haven’t seen any new investment in accommodation in Stawell for a number of years. “For us to continue to grow and be competitive in that space we’re going to need to see some investment in some of that critical infrastructure.” Mr Sleeman said that the support of the council for local tourism was vital to helping the region recover from the effects of COVID-19. “When you talk about small business, there are 800 businesses across the Grampians region that are reliant on visitor economy spending, and most of those are small businesses,” Mr Sleeman said. “It’s been an extremely challenging period. It’s rewarding to have the full backing of local government, it really gives us the confidence to move forward and help us be able to deliver economic benefit. “I think the horizon looks pretty positive.”

— Ambon and Hainan —
By: Horsham R.S.L.
“We’d go out and dig the graves, and then bury them. And by the time we got back from one there’d be another one ready to go out ‌ You couldn’t keep up with it. You’d wake up through the night and you’d hear them, you’d hear the death rattles.â€? – George Williamson quoted in Joan Beaumont, Gull Force: Survival and Leadership in Captivity 1941–1945. Ambon, Borneo, Hainan and New Britain were the sites of some of the greatest disasters for Australian prisoners of the Japanese during World War II. As the Japanese posed a growing threat to South East Asia in early 1941 the Australian Government sent two brigades of the 8th Division to Malaya. It held one brigade back in Australia, the 23rd, with plans to deploy it to the islands to the north if the Japanese threat materialised. The brigade was split into three battalionsized forces — Gull, Sparrow and Lark Forces — ominously non-predatory names. In March and April of 1941 Lark Force was sent to Rabaul in New Britain, the headquarters of the Australian administration of New Guinea. Then when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Gull Force and Sparrow Force were deployed to Ambon and Dutch Timor respectively. All three forces, even with the support of local Dutch troops, were ‘penny packets’, far too small and ill-equipped to withstand the Japanese when they attacked in January– February 1942. They were defeated quickly
and taken prisoner in the ďŹ rst months of 1942 (some 250 men of the Australian 2/2nd Independent Company sent to Portuguese Timor remained there as a guerrilla force.) On Ambon, Gull Force suffered tragedy immediately when two companies were massacred after their capture by the Japanese at the airďŹ eld at Laha. The remaining prisoners were interned in a camp at Tan Toey, near Ambon town, with the exception of two groups who made their escape to Australia by island hopping across the Arafura Sea in advance of the Japanese. Japanese marines took over command of the prisoner camp in mid-1942 and treatment of the prisoners became harsh after another successful escape was made by a small party of Australians in March 1942. In October 1942 Gull Force was split and 263 of the Australians, together with a similar number of Dutch prisoners, were sent to Hainan off the coast of Vietnam. The commanding ofďŹ cer, LieutenantColonel W.J.R. (John) Scott and most senior ofďŹ cers and medical personnel accompanied them, leaving the Australian prisoners on Ambon almost leaderless. This problem was exacerbated when in February 1943 an Allied air raid detonated a munitions dump, which the Japanese had located within Tan Toey camp. Nine Australians, including ďŹ ve ofďŹ cers (and the only Australian doctor ofďŹ cer) were killed in the resulting huge explosion. A second air raid in August 1944 killed a further three Australians and devastated the camp again.
In 1943-45 the rates of illness and death among the Australians on Ambon progressively rose despite the ingenuity of the Australian dentist and the single Dutch doctor. From late 1944 the malicious Japanese interpreter controlling the camp also introduced a crippling work regime, the Long Carry. Emaciated prisoners were forced to carry heavy bags of cement and bombs between villages along precipitous jungle paths—all, it seemed, to no purpose. With food being reduced to starvation levels, the death toll soared in 1945. By the time of the Japanese capitulation only 123 of the 532 Australians left on Ambon in late 1942 remained alive. It was one of the highest death tolls that Australians experienced in captivity. Perhaps not surprisingly, this appalling situation on Ambon caused deep divisions among the prisoners of war. Trying to maintain discipline, the most senior Australian ofďŹ cer created a cage in which to detain thieves, an action that was deeply controversial given that it violated the dominant values of mateship and solidarity in the face of the enemy. Meanwhile on Hainan Gull Force again suffered a particularly severe regime of malnutrition, disease and neglect, although they were able to mitigate its effects by developing an ongoing trade in medicines with the local Chinese population. A more sympathetic Japanese command from mid-1943 on also helped to avert a looming medical crisis. However, in 1944–45 conditions
deteriorated. In April 1944 an Australian workgroup outside camp was ambushed by local guerrillas, resulting in nine Australians being killed and 10 abducted. What happened to them has never been fully resolved. Six Australians, who broke out of the camp in April 1945 were luckier, managing to join Chinese nationalists in the mountains and, with the exception of one who died of malaria, surviving the war. The death rate on Hainan was ultimately 31 percent. As on Ambon, the intense stresses on the Australians caused deep divisions among the prisoners. Scott, suffering an emotional breakdown, resorted to handing men guilty of offences within the camp to the Japanese for punishment. This included electric shocks and life-threatening beatings. Ultimately in October 1944 the men took discipline into their own hands, setting up a vigilance committee to judge and punish their peers. The dead from Ambon were buried at Tan Toey, Ambon, a cemetery that was vandalised in 2000 when the Cross of SacriďŹ ce was destroyed during civil violence. It has since been replaced with a Stone of Remembrance. To the dismay of some survivors the bodies of the dead from Hainan were transferred after World War II to a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in Yokohama, Japan. From 1967 the Gull Force Association maintained a program of medical aid to Ambon in recognition of the support the local population had given the prisoners during World War II.
Veterans suicide prevention consultation welcomed By Chris Michaels
Wimmera Veterans Centre advocate LauraJean Rothery has welcomed the federal government’s push towards a national commissioner for defence and veteran suicide prevention. Legislation introduced by the AttorneyGeneral is a step towards the establishment of the National Commissioner for Defence and Veteran Suicide Prevention — a new independent body focused on understanding and addressing the risk factors of defence force and veteran suicide. “Mental health is such a big issue and there are such lengthy delays in veterans being able to access mental health support,â€? Ms Rothery said. “And someone’s ďŹ nancial situation is one of the causes, along with the stigma associated
with asking for help.� Ms Rothery said those barriers, along with proximity to assistance and knowing where to start can be harder for veterans. A lack of knowledge around medication is another barrier. “Medications like antidepressants can scare people and the side effects are so severe for some that they feel better off without them,� Ms Rothery said. “A lot of the veterans we deal with don’t want to be viewed as a burden to others. “Veterans are particularly vulnerable because some came home from wars as heroes, and others were shunned and treated like they were nothing. “And some turn to alcohol and drugs to deal with the ongoing issues.� Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Darren
Chester said suicide prevention was one of the government’s highest priorities, including when it came to the men and women who serve or have served in the nation’s defence force. “Each year, too many of our fellow Australians take their own lives, and the defence and veteran communities are not immune. The death of a current or former ADF member is tragic and it is felt deeply by their family, friends, colleagues and ex-service community,� Mr Chester said. “It is absolutely critical that we try to understand all the factors connected to suicide and strive to build a better system of support to ensure our ADF personnel and veterans have the help they need, when and where they need it.� For those needing mental health support, Open Arms is a veterans and families

‘Roadmap’ out of COVID-19 restrictions to be released By JessieAnne Gartlan
THE Victorian Government will reveal its “roadmap” to easing restrictions this Sunday September 6, Premier Daniel Andrews has announced. During his daily press conference last Monday morning the Premier said the plan would consider ongoing restrictions such as social distancing, face masks in the workplace, continued testing followed by mandatory isolation, and working from home where possible. Regional Victoria has been under stage three restrictions since August 6, and metropolitan Melbourne has been under stage four restrictions since August 2. Mr Andrews said the government could not reveal any more before Sunday as “another week’s data” was needed before
the plan was finalised. The government used the remaining week to consult with relevant agencies including industry, unions and community organisations, about what the plan should look like. The Premier confirmed on Tuesday that regional Victoria would follow a different process to metropolitan Melbourne to ease out of COVID-19 lock down. “We know every Victorian wants certainty about the future – for them, for their family and for their work. By the end of the week, we will lay out a plan to reopen our state,” Mr Andrews said. In a statement also released on Monday the government described some possible aspects of the plan: “Recognising there is no one size fits all solution, the Government will commit to
tailoring guidance to different industries as part of the roadmap. “Additionally, wherever possible, workforce bubbles should be created to limit the number of staff who have prolonged and close contact with each other. To achieve this, teams of staff could be rostered on the same shifts, with no overlap in shift changes and a reduction in staff working across multiple sites. “Under the proposed framework, meetings and lunchtimes could also look different, with enclosed spaces avoided wherever possible. Opening doors and windows for airflow rather than relying only on recirculated air and moving tearooms and lunch breaks outside – along with meetings and team catch-ups – all help to reduce risk.” Department of Health and Human
OFFICIAL MEDICAL ADVICE
Don’t risk it. Always follow the health advice.
Services data released on Sunday August 30 stated that Horsham had two active cases. The rest of the Wimmera had zero.
Relief for Victoria/ NSW border communities A SINGLE border region between Victoria and New South Wales extending 50 kilometres either side of the border will be reinstated today. The NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian made the announcement on Tuesday morning and said a lack of transparency from the Victorian Government about its COVID-19 cases delayed the relaxing of border restrictions. “It has been difficult for us to get information on the other side of the border about rates of testing and community transmission,” she said. The border zone previously only extended 2.5 kilometre either side. A new “border region resident permit” will be made available for residents living within 50 kms of the border. Residents can apply if they need to travel to obtain necessary goods or services, provide care or for other compassionate reasons, or attend work or study where it is not reasonable to do so from their state of residence. Victorians eligible for the permit must not travel to any part of NSW that is outside of the border region and must not enter NSW if the resident had travelled in Victoria in a restricted area (which is currently greater Melbourne) or a COVID-19 area of concern in Victoria within the previous 14 days. “As the Victorian numbers continue to decline that gives us a greater confidence to ease restrictions and to listen to the concerns raised by border communities,” Ms Berejiklian said.
New jobs help clean up shire By Thomas Duncan

SEVEN new staff members have been recruited by the Northern Grampians Shire under the Victorian Government’s Working for Victoria initiative. The funding allows workers to be hired on six month contracts, to assist in keeping public spaces safe during the COVID-19 pandemic and provide jobs to the local community. The council has currently recruited facility staff, outdoor labourers and an administrative officer at the Stawell and St Arnaud depots under the initiative, but are continuing recruitment efforts. The new staff have been repainting council owned buildings such as the Stawell Town Hall lobby ahead of its reopening to the public. Larger projects have included a full scale renovation of the toilet block between Scallan and Church Streets in Stawell. Upgrades included improved ventilation and lighting, new internal surfaces and tiling, and new baby change tables. The special needs toilets have also had a complete overhaul. Council chief executive Liana Thompson said she was thankful for both the funding and the contributions of the new staff. “It is fantastic to see so many projects being attended to in such a short period of time,” she said. “It is very pleasing to see our shire amenities in tip-top condition and our heritage buildings return to their historical best. We actively encourage residents living in the St Arnaud area to apply for the remaining vacancies too.”

ALBACUTYA SILO DEVELOPMENT TO GO AHEAD By Caitlyn Quinn
THE planning permit for a viewing area and car park at the soon to be painted Albacutya Silo, was approved at the Hindmarsh Shire Council meeting last week. The area, situated near Rainbow, which had previously been used as a grain bunker will provide a space for tourists to visit the silo artwork which will become part of the Silo Art Trail. Located on Albacutya Road, the silo artwork is set to stand out from existing works and will “capture some fun in it,” according to Tourism and Economic Development Officer for Hindmarsh Shire Council, Jeff Woodward. “We’re wanting to capture the more larrikin aspect of all of us out here in the bush,” he said. Shaun Hoffack, director of Juddy Roller the art agency responsible for the designs on the Silo Art Trail - said the departure from the previous style is deliberate. “A lot of silos are starting to look similar,” he said. “To help increase visitation we want to make sure that the Silo Art Trail, the original and best in the Wimmera, stays unique and has a point of difference to all the other silos being painted in Australia.” “We’re doing something different and bringing in new talent with fresh ideas and fresh style.” Artist, Kitt Bennett, is looking forward to taking on the challenge and has said he will, “keep it funky and fresh and appeal to some younger kids out there”. Beulah residents are already familiar with his work as he was one of the artists behind the Beulah Town Hall mural.
A more cartoon style with surrealist elements is expected for the silo. It is also the first time that augmented reality developers behind the Wimmera Mallee Tourism app will be working beside the artist in the creation process. Work on the silo has been delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions but Mr Woodward is hopeful that once stage four restrictions in Melbourne are eased, the project can start coming together. He said, “Our focus is the safety of the community,” and noted that every safety precaution will be taken during the development of the project. The viewing area and car park work is set to begin in the coming weeks. The total cost of the project which includes viewing area, carpark, artwork, signage and augmented reality development is estimated to cost between $70,000 and $80,000. The Albacutya Silo project is part of the expansion of the existing Silo Art Trail that originally started in Yarriambiack Shire. Councillor Ron Ismay from Rainbow said, “this whole silo art trail has been a huge success” and that the new silo will provide a huge boost for tourism. “I think tourism will really come alive,” he said, noting that regional and domestic travel will become popular when travel within Australia is permitted. Mr Woodward said once the silo is complete it will be something that the local community can enjoy. “Hopefully the fun style will attract families and kids,” he said. The Albacutya Silo is owned by the Gould family who have been supportive of the project from the very beginning.
Warracknabeal Police seek information on anvil theft James Thomas
WARRACKNABEAL Police are seeking the perpetrator or perpetrators who stole a steel anvil from a property sometime between early to mid August. The perpetrator or perpetrators entered the property from Ailsa Road, stealing an 150kg steel anvil from the farm’s shed. Senior Constable Peter Taylor is
asking district residents to watch for suspicious vehicles travelling in the district. “If you see a car driving slowly around a property along farm roads or seem to be just wandering around, please give us a call,” he said. If you have any information about the thefts, Warracknabeal Police can be contacted on (03) 5398 1044.
• Tennille, Poppy and Adam Gould are proud to be part of the development as the owners of the silo.
DIMBOOLA 18TH BIRTHDAY PARTY ENDS IN FINES By Chris Michaels
AN 18th birthday party in Dimboola ended on a sour note after fines were issued for stage three restriction breaches. Police received a complaint from a member of the public on August 20, who saw the birthday party invitation on Snapchat. Police received the complaint that night at 8.25pm. Police arrived at the Church Street property to find empty alcohol bottles and a 25-year-old male who was not a resident. The male, and the mother of the party host were both issued with infringement notices for $1652 each. Under current restrictions people can only leave home for essential shopping, care or caregiving, exercise, work or study. “If we had been able to attend earlier on the night we would have issued infringement notices to each of the party goers,” a police spokeswoman said. “It annoys us when people are more worried about getting a ticket, but none of my children have been able to have birthday parties this year. If people think they can do what they want just because it’s in quiet little Dimboola they are wrong. They can’t.”
FIELD DAYS FROM PAGE 3 “Clients and businesses would usually get to meet, and it’s a few days out for farmers,” Mr Murray said. “Even with the internet people still like to see the machinery and see the size and scope of it all, and it’s basically a three day show. So it becomes a massive loss business-wise and socially.” Mat Taylor, branch manager of Elders Horsham and Kaniva said the announcement was “very disappointing for the local region”. “It will be a shame, it is a big social outing for (farmers and exhibitors),” he said. According to Mr Taylor, Elders uses the event not only to sell products, but also to connect with growers in the region. “We always look at it not as an opportunity per se of selling stuff to growers all the time, but it’s touching base with them in a casual
environment and getting to talk to them about what they are up to and what they are looking for in the following year,” he said. Mr Murray said there had been no real conversation about delaying the field days to a later date in 2021 instead of cancelling it. “It really is an event best focused on in March following that seasons’ harvest,” he said. “We couldn’t hold it in winter for example. And like other field days across other states they are all set at different times to fit in with others so changing that wasn’t considered at all.” The committee will now turn its focus to its 2022 event. “For the following year we will look at new opportunities and no doubt agriculture will change again in the next few months,” Mr Wilson said.
BARRY’S CORNER
The decision to cancel the event was announced the same day the federal government announced a $2.7M package for agricultural field days to assist with cash-flow pressures caused by COVID-19 cancellations. Through the package, agriculture field days could be eligible to claim reimbursement costs including bank fees, utilities, rates, insurance, fire alarms and equipment, cleaning supplies, telecommunications, IT system licensing costs, website costs, state/national show body affiliation fees and rent. Deputy Prime Minister and Regional Development Minister Michael McCormack said, “Our agricultural field days are uniquely Australian and provide huge economic spinoffs for the local communities hosting them as well as opportunities for the businesses and services who exhibit.”
Foxes
Foxes are everywhere and can be found in all sorts of localities from isolated deserts to inner city metropolitan hideaways. It seems strange to be able to find a fox in and around a city but there is often a food source from scraps to dog food left out at night . Foxes do not make themselves obvious and always prefer some cover to stalk their prey or sit out the daylight so they can go to work at night. The diet of a fox is fairly broad, from meat to grasshoppers, and this means they can survive in uncertain circumstances and quite harsh conditions as scavengers. They do like a drink so water is important, but similar to a lot of other animals they can adapt to trying times. The fox is particularly agile and really cunning and will leap onto quite high places, will squeeze into tight spots to get food, breed once a year in early spring with up to nine pups in a burrow on an embankment or sandy rise. It is a substantial burrow but not always much longer than three or four metres. A lot of effort has been sunk into controlling foxes over many years with a lot of local success. However, the area cleaned out can be re-populated from surrounding districts which means there needs to be a widespread, co-ordinated approach to control efforts. There are poisons that will kill foxes, types of traps to consider, guns are effective, burrow destruction. City foxes are well used to noise and hustle and bustle but you cannot shoot a fox in an urban site and special programs need to be put in place to tackle the introduced pest. Lamb farmers and chook owners always need to be on the lookout for the fox. Landcare groups can do some effective planning at their local level for a collective attack on the fox.

Council agrees to land transfer By James Thomas
PROGRESS has been made on development of a new supermarket for the Beulah community after Yarriambiack Shire Council agreed to transfer council owned land to the Beulah Community Co-operative. In March, a recommendation was put before council to transfer 69 Phillips Street to the Beulah community group after the town’s only supermarket burnt down in July last year. The 990 metre square vacant block is currently the site of the Beulah Memorial Hall car park and was formerly the site of the Beulah Primary School. During August’s council meeting a motion was moved by Councillor Shane Roberts and seconded by Cr Jean Wise to transfer the councilowned land. Cr Roberts said, after the motion was adopted, that council should support the development of the community by any means. “I know we are not doing much here by just a simple transfer of land but we’ve seen before that we have been quite successful with grants,” he
A SEWING group for migrant communities of Horsham is using technology to meet despite COVID-19 restrictions. The Harmony Sewing Group, which formed last year, links migrant communities to volunteers with expertise in craft, patchwork, quilters and other creative avenues. Social connection and community cohesion is at the heart of the project. Wimmera Development Association’s Settlement Services, along with Horsham-based The Maker’s Gallery and Studio and Wimmera Regional Library joined forces to form the group, and the Paw Po sewing group in Nhill assisted with sewing machines. COVID-19 restrictions have meant the group haven’t been able to meet in person since March. Wimmera Development Association settlement officer Sara Barron said the idea for the sewing group came about after trying to find an activity migrants were interested in. “Part of it came from wanting to share stories between the migrants and share a common interest,” Ms Barron said. “We had our cultural diversity events cancelled when COVID-19
restrictions happened and a lot of the migrant women involved felt they were high-risk for catching the virus so needed to find another way to connect.” Ms Barron said the question of how to connect and continue the sewing classes in a pandemic was not easy to answer, especially when many migrants in Horsham had limited access to technology. “It was a big challenge, not having laptops and the tools needed,” she said. “Once past that challenge, the next challenge was working with different levels of different sewing skills within the group. “But it was the social connection and skill sharing - and trying to learn and improve sewing skills side by side with language skills that was very interesting.” Ms Barron said while different cultures are represented in small numbers in Horsham, as a whole the migrants have formed a bond through participation. “We have a large Karen community here now, not just in Nhill,” she said. “We have Vietnamese, Filipinos, Indians, Italians, Nigerians and Sudanese. They all bring something different and add to a diverse community.”

said. “So if we’re able to assist them with getting funding, it would be good to see them get the supermarket and fix up things in the community which they don’t have at the moment.”
The cost of land transfer would be less than $2000 due to the need for a qualified solicitor and council has offered professional assistance to develop business plans for the advocacy of the overall project.
A DISCARDED firearm has been recovered from the Beulah Weir Pool after a Victoria Police Search and Rescue team conducted a search at Beulah Weir last month. The investigation was carried out on 14 July following reports of information received by a member of the public. No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing. Victoria Police said as the investigation is still active, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage. At the time of the search attending police officers were unable to reveal what the search was being conducted for. The Search and Rescue team traveled from Williamstown to conduct the search.

Rural healthcare recovery essential to address shortages By James Thomas
AS greater focus is placed on how rural Victoria will recover from COVID-19, health advocates argue that smarter investment in training and education are needed to recruit and retain rural workers. Whilst telehealth services have increased accessibility and frequency of health consultations for rural Victorians, the current pandemic has exacerbated long-standing critical shortages of health workers in rural and regional areas. Mostly this has been due to staff illnesses or quarantine requirements. National Rural Health Alliance chief executive officer Gabrielle O’Kane said that there are concerns regarding the pipeline of healthcare workers due to the challenges and pressures placed on universities. However, Mrs O’Kane said that there was an opportunity to develop the rural healthcare and education sector through a coordinated approach between governments and universities. “We should be investing in the health workforce in disadvantaged regions to stimulate the economy but also addressing those workforce shortages,” she said. “It’s very interesting that the Australian Institute has done an economic analysis and it has indicated that industries such as health and education have a much higher direct employment effect per million dollars of spending. “A starting point does have to be about
education of young people in the bush, getting them attracted into doing health courses in universities, then trying to make sure that those regional universities are actually being able to have those courses available to rural students. “I think it’s about when (students) go for clinical placements in rural areas. It’s not just having two weeks in a rural environment but actually trying to extend that.” In late 2019, the Regional Australia Institute published a report on healthcare and social support in regional areas predicting that it would create approximately 80,000 jobs. However, Services for Australian Rural and Remote Allied Health chief executive officer Catherine Maloney thinks that this is an underestimate given the shortage of allied health care professionals outside of metropolitan areas. “We need to see more jobs proportionately generated in regional Australia in order to achieve a level of parity with our city-based cousins,” she said. “Not only that, the chronic workforce shortages mean that job creation alone will be insufficient to meet the future needs of rural Australians targeting strategies required to grow and fit the purpose of the rural allied health workforce. “The potential savings for the reduction in incidence of things like chronic heart disease, kidney complications, hip and knee replacement, amputations, and premature entry to aged care as a result of allied health

intervention was estimated to be nearly $78 million annually at the time. Yet poor access to allied health services has limited our capacity to realize these savings, let alone realize the health benefits for Australian communities. “If investing in the health sector makes big economic returns, in terms of increased workforce participation for a longer period of time, and investing in allied health has the potential to save millions of dollars each year, at a time and the health budget continues to grow exponentially and having better
access to allied health services is likely to improve healthcare health outcomes for rural Australians then investing in allied health workforce and services seems a logical and low-risk strategy towards economic recovery for rural communities.” The Regional Australia Institute is hosting its ‘Regions Rising’ webinar series which has been discussing issues facing rural and regional Australia and what opportunities are available, which can be found at http://regionsrising.regionalaustralia.org.au/ webinar-series/.

Council re-priortises road funding for hay and grain producers By James Thomas
YARRIAMBIACK Shire Council has agreed to requests from residents to reprioritise funding for roads in Lascelles and Murtoa, helping district hay and grain producers. Three separate requests were put before councillors at last week’s council meeting to redirect funding from council’s capital works program to upgrade sections of Maxwells Road, Holtkamps and Rurades Road as well as Hill Crest Road. Two Lascelles residents along Maxwells
Road requested an upgrade of the road, including a section of an unnamed road, due to access issues faced during dry and wet conditions. Currently classified as a primary access earth road, approximately 40 loads of hay and grain travel on the road each season, which has led to its deterioration. Council agreed to allocate $60,000 from its resheet program with the resident expected to make a financial contribution for the upgrade. Murtoa farmers Paul and Tim Petering put a request to council to cover the plant and
MENTAL HEALTH WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS ISOLATION By Chris Michaels
A MENTAL health webinar featuring Beyond Blue director and New South Wales farmer Derek Schoen has highlighted the continued dangers of isolation in rural communities. On August 28 The Rural Press Club of Victoria’s mental health in rural and regional Australia webinar also highlighted possible funding shortfalls in meeting a growing demand during COVID-19. Mr Schoen said that with stage four restrictions in Melbourne continuing suburban communities were experiencing firsthand what rural farmers and regions have been dealing with for years. “Suburban people are now experiencing isolation with their lockdown like people in regional and rural areas have,” he said. “At the moment demand is outstripping funds available.” Mr Schoen reminded people to continue to reach out within the rural community, and to make good decisions when dealing with vulnerable people or those struggling with loneliness.
“Checking on friends is important,” he said. “Depending on the situation and what that person needs will dictate the type of help you can assist them with. “Getting a referral to Beyond Blue or Lifeline services is a good start. But if there is an immediate concern then it is best to call an ambulance or police or take that person to hospital.” Horsham Psychiatric Services team leader Treveor James said there are a number of services and assistance that can be accessed in either a crisis situation or on an on-going basis. “People can approach us directly or they can talk to their GP if they feel comfortable talking,” he said. “They can present to the emergency department. And the Headspace organisation is available for younger people. “Across the board I think people are feeling more isolated and experiencing isolation issues.” If people do need assistance with their mental health or if they’re feeling isolated and vulnerable, call Lifeline Australia on 131114, and Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636.
labour costs to upgrade sections of Rurade and Holtkamps Road. Both farmers agreed to supply gravel for the upgrades, which would see council allocate around $19,000 out of a total of $36,000. Cr Tom Hamilton and Cr Corrine Heintze agreed to the motion saying that it was a good outcome for producers in the district. “I think that we need work further on our policy for future but I think this is a sensible decision,” Cr Hamilton said. “There is a fair commitment there from private investment and it definitely adds benefit to other people rather than just the people who are putting in the money there. “We should try and support all businesses where we can.” Cr Heintze said, “I think that this could be a really good outcome. It’s going to help those businesses and the other people who travel through there. “We’ve been over this before with not such
a successful outcome and I really just want to see council, communities and farmers working together because we can achieve things together.” A request was initially put to council in 2018 but was knocked back. A request was also made by Murtoa farmer John Delahunty to upgrade sections of Hill Crest Road in preparation for Templemore Partners splitting their farm in March 2021. The decision will see $21,000 directed to upgrade the 670 metre road, creating a new access point to the property. The motion was agreed to by Cr Hamilton and Cr Heintze who said that the splitting of the property obligated council to provide access to the property. “We are just meeting our obligations here because the farm is divided into two. Now that it becomes two primary farms instead of one, we are meeting our obligations to provide an all-weather road to the second (property).”
Council meetings to move online By Thomas Duncan
NORTHERN Grampians Shire will soon be live-streaming all council meetings for the public, joining Horsham Rural City Council and others in the digital space. From September 7 residents will be able to watch meetings on the council’s YouTube channel in real time. The council itself will be holding the meeting over Zoom, with it being transmitted directly to YouTube from there. The council have made the move in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restricting physical gatherings of people, although the service is intended to be ongoing, even after the pandemic has eased. Public questions can be submitted with notice via the council’s website. Questioners will then be provided an invitation to the Zoom webinar, where they can ask their
question directly. Questions without notice remain unavailable until restrictions slacken. Mayor Murray Emerson said he was pleased the community had another way to engage with council. “It’s going to be fantastic for our community to be able to tune in to our meetings no matter where they are,” he said. Council chief executive Liana Thompson said the move reflected community wishes. “Council was heavily criticised in the recent community satisfaction survey for community engagement, and streaming our meetings online will provide increased transparency and accessibility to council decision making,” she said. “This is about more than protecting the community, it’s also about making sure our residents and ratepayers are included as an integral part of the council process.”

Real Estate First home builders snatching up government grants THE HomeBuilders grant is being seized upon in the Wimmera with blocks of land being snapped up. The federal government has made the HomeBuilder Grant available to help the residential building industry recover from the economic impact of COVID-19. The grant provides funding worth $25,000 to anyone wanting
to build a new home or to substantially renovate an existing home. The grant is also available to first home owners. To be eligible the contract must be signed between June 4, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Harcourts Horsham principal Mark Clyne said he expected there to be very few blocks available for
purchase by the time the grant closes. “There will be a surge of houses being built and people moving into them, and there are a lot of blocks being sold (now),” he said. “By Christmas-time there will be very few blocks available because they will have just been bought up quite rapidly.” Tree-changers moving from
the city will also be snapping up blocks, Mr Clyne said. “We’re going to see people come out of the city and into regional areas - that’s already starting to happen,” he said. “There are lots of people buying land to take advantage of the government’s concessions and bonuses for building.” The combined impact of grants
currently available and postCOVID tree-changers meant the real estate market in regional Victoria was heading into what Mr Clyne called “a perfect storm”. “In the past there’s been an over supply of demand, but now we're heading into an undersupply and we’ll see shortages of blocks of land, which will ultimately increase the price,” he said.

Younger farmers’ energy and flair key to success By James Thomas
WIMMERA pork, wool and lamb producer Jason Hawkins sees many of the challenges facing the agricultural sector as opportunities. That’s why he became a representative for the Victorian Government’s Young Farmers Advisory Council. The next generation of passionate farmers, the 32 year old Wimmera farmer will join five other members advising the government on issues facing younger generations throughout the agriculture sector. “I’m always excited about trying to progress things in the industry and connect with other people and young farmers,” he said. Mr Hawkins said that his main objective was to build stronger networks, communities, and he hopes, a strong agriculture industry over the long-term. With better and improving farming production, Mr Hawkins says the one issue that motivates him, along with others in the broader community, is drawing people into rural areas. “We’re increasing yields from less inputs and improved technologies and we’re seeing a reduction in a lot of the rural communities. I think that we need to stem those losses and turn that tide around,” he said. “I’ve been trying to do that with my business venture where we’ve set up an outdoor pig farm.” Located in Neuarpurr, a township about an hour west of Horsham, just off the VictorianSouth Australian border, Mr Hawkins started the operation in 2012 which now directly employs six people and something which he says has created more employment opportunities. “Those are the sorts of intensifications or land use changes that can happen to try and get more people out into our community,” he said. As the coronavirus continues to emphasize the importance of agriculture, Mr Hawkins hopes it helps to capture more younger people’s attention on potential career prospects. “I think the flair and energy that young farmers can bring is going to be essential in doing that,” he said. “There is a lot of risk with land use changes and intensification and I think it’s going to be

the young farmers that bring that energy and that propensity for risk. “In terms of looking forward, if you have a 50 year career ahead of you, you have that capacity to really try to make changes and take risks so I really see young farmers being key to that sort of move towards a more employee dense industry and sub-sectors.” But it won’t just be technology that draws prospective young farmers Mr Hawkins says. “I think (technology) is a shiny new component that probably catches people’s attention but it probably gets a bit overblown as being this big draw card into Ag. It’s people and communities that really makes people want to stay in an area,” he said. “It’s having access to services and these sorts of things. I think if you build up those, and then have technology, they’re the things that are more accessible and useable for young people. They’re more inclined to bring (technology) into an industry rather than it bring them into the industry.” Mr Hawkins said that young farmers are facing many exciting opportunities ahead, such as Nuffield’s four month international scholarship, and is urging them to connect and reach out. “We’d love to have young farmers reach out to us and give us their thoughts on what ways there are to build stronger communities and to bring younger people into the industry,” he said. “There is a huge amount of exciting stuff ahead of us as young farmers in this industry.”

ACCC launch inquiry into power imbalances in domestic supply chain By Caitlyn Quinn
AN Australian Competition and Consumer Commission inquiry will be looking into harmful bargaining power imbalances between farmers, intermediaries, including processors, and retailers within Australia’s supply chains of perishable agricultural goods. The ACCC has been directed by the federal government to assess the nature of bargaining power in the supply chains for perishable agricultural goods which includes meat, poultry, seafood, and horticulture goods where not already covered by a mandatory industry code. Lindsay Martin, of Brim, owns a sheep and cattle farm and said he hopes the inquiry will address the power imbalance between smaller farming businesses and larger corporations. “Across all facets of agriculture… owning power of the multinationals puts little farmers at serious risk,” he said. “To give us a bit of power, it needs to be looked at.” The ACCC will also examine the effectiveness of the new Dairy Code of Conduct, which launched in January this year. Dairy farmers have noted that the rules outlined in the code do not apply to supermarkets and as a result the power imbalance within the dairy supply chain
persists. As well as reviewing the code the ACCC will consider options to extend the code across the entire domestic dairy supply chain. The Queensland Dairy Farmers Organisation said the launch of the inquiry is a positive step towards addressing power imbalances within the industry. QDO President, Briand Tessmann said, “When your product has a short shelf life, retailers have you over a barrel.” Member for Mallee Anne Webster said the inquiry will address the misuse and even abuse of power in the perishable food supply chain, particularly in relation to the power supermarkets yield. “Unfortunately, not all interactions between farmers and the major supermarkets are conducted fairly and in good faith and there are bargaining imbalances and other serious issues that need to be looked at,” Dr Webster said. She encouraged Mallee farmers experiencing this power imbalance to submit evidence to the inquiry and to take advantage of anonymous reporting if they felt the need to. “I strongly encourage local farmers and agribusinesses to take this opportunity, while it’s available, and contribute to this important inquiry,” she said.
“We want to ensure we have the right policies in place – but to do that, we need industry to speak up and tell us what’s really going on.” In a joint statement, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said, “We want to ensure that the regulatory framework remains fit for purpose in light of the significant disruptions caused by the coronavirus crisis and our strong commitment to growing Australia’s agricultural sector.” Mr Martin said “the gap between city and country”, as well as politicians having little understanding of what the agriculture industry needs, is a part of the reason bargaining power in the supply chain hadn’t been addressed sooner. The ACCC inquiry will go for three months and a report will be provided to the government by 30 November 2020. Mr Martin suspects that it will be a while before any changes result from the inquiry. “There’s never any short-term overhaul,” he said. ACCC Deputy Chair Mick Keogh said, “This inquiry provides an opportunity to take a broad look at perishable agricultural supply chains in Australia, utilising knowledge we have gained in working across a range of agricultural issues.”

WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR TRACE ELEMENTS? By Rural Vision
IT is a simple fact that trace elements are only needed by crops and pastures in small amounts, but they play a major part in maximising production. So early identification of what is missing in the paddock is a key part of effective farm management. There is increasing concern in some districts that trace element deficiencies may be the next nutritional barrier to improving productivity. This is because current cropping systems are exporting more nutrients to the grain terminal than ever before. Why is there a need for trace elements? Essential trace elements are nutrients which are required by plants to survive and grow but are needed in only minute amounts. Zinc deficiency can severely limit legume production and reduce cereal grain yields by up to 30 percent. Copper deficiency is also vital because it can cause total crop failure. If these two trace elements are managed well the productivity of crops and pastures can prove to be very profitable. Adequate trace element nutrition is just as important for vigorous and profitable crops and pastures as adequate major element (such as nitrogen or phosphorus) nutrition. Zinc deficiency In pasture or grain legumes zinc deficiency causes shortening of stems and leaves fail to expand properly. So, plants appear healthy but stunted, with small leaves. In cereals, an early sign of zinc deficiency is a longitudinal pale-green stripe on one or both sides of the mid-vein of young leaves. The leaf tissue in this stripe soon dies and the necrotic area turns pale brown. In spring, symptoms often do not appear on new leaves, but grain yields will usually be reduced. Diagnosis Simply relying on physical signs or appearance of a deficiency is not enough. A plant may be deficient in the essential trace element for some time before visual signs are evident.
• TRACE ELEMENTS: Early identification of what is missing in the paddock is a key part of effective farm management.
“Plants sometimes appear to outgrow this deficiency, but often the damage has already been done and yields can be significantly reduced,” says Dr Robert Norton, of the International Plant Nutrition Institute. Tissue tests for diagnosing zinc deficiency are reliable and have been calibrated in the field under Australian conditions for wheat, barley, medic, beans, and peas. In tillering plants of wheat and barley, YEB (youngest fully emerged blades) levels above 20-24mg/ kg is considered adequate. The minimum value in YOLs (youngest fully open leaves) of medic is 15mg/kg and in beans and peas the figure is approximately 23mg/kg (although our information on peas is very limited). For Lucerne, levels above about 20mg/kg in young shoots appear to be adequate. Correction Zinc deficiency can be corrected in the year that it is recognised with a foliar spray of 250-
350g Zn/ha. Zinc can be mixed with many herbicides and pesticides but not all, so check with your supplier for compatible tank mixes before you make the brew. Recent trials in eastern Australia suggest that chelated sources of trace elements are no more effective at correcting a deficiency than their sulphate cousin, although they do offer increased compatibility with herbicides and pesticides. Copper deficiency The three most identifiable symptoms of a Copper deficiency are shrunken heads in cereal, heads with gaps in them, or ‘frosted’ heads. More common, slight to mild copper deficiencies can easily go undiagnosed, resulting in grain yield losses of up to 20 percent and thousands of dollars’ worth of lost income potential annually. Cereals such wheat, barley and oats are more sensitive to low soil copper levels than canola, which is more efficient at accessing copper. Neither past responses to copper
fertiliser, nor a lack of copper fertiliser applications are a reliable guide to copper requirements. Seasonal conditions, both dry or very wet, can have a significant bearing on whether a copper response experienced in one year may appear in subsequent crops Diagnosis Leaf analysis to detect copper deficiency in plants is a very important management tool because copper deficiency can produce devastating losses in grain yield of crops and pastures with little evidence of characteristic symptoms. Copper concentrations in YEBs of cereals above 3mg/kg are considered adequate and below 1.5mg/kg deficient. Pasture legumes, including Lucerne, have higher requirements for Copper and plants are considered deficient if YOL values are below 4.5mg/kg. Lupins are tolerant of Copper deficiency and levels above 1.2mg/ kg are adequate. Correction Copper deficiency can be corrected with a foliar spray of 75-100 g/Ha. EDTA chelated Copper is a wider used form for foliar application as it is compatible with more pesticides when compared to other sources of Copper. Check compatibility with your supplier before tank mixing. Conclusion Trace elements are as essential to productive and profitable crops as nitrogen and phosphorus. The difference is that crops only require them in minute amounts. Zinc, manganese, or copper deficiencies are the most common and severe problems. Trace element deficiencies are difficult to diagnose with soil tests or from plant symptoms. Plant testing is the most reliable, if not fool proof tool to diagnose trace element deficiencies. Foliar sprays will usually correct a problem in crop. However, for long term correction of the deficiency boosting soil reserves is a sound investment.

Business Trades Directory Additional cases of Avian Influenza confirmed
AVIAN influenza has been confirmed at an additional egg farm in the Golden Plains Shire and also an emu farm near Kerang. Victoria’s Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Graeme Cooke said Agriculture Victoria was acting swiftly to contain the outbreaks. “The Golden Plains egg farm has been placed under quarantine after being confirmed as having high pathogenic H7N7 avian influenza. It has about 37,000 birds on site within the existing Restricted Area,” Dr Cooke said. Dr Cooke said Agriculture Victoria has been undertaking regular surveillance at the property as part of its response to avian influenza in the high-risk area, which has allowed for the rapid identification and containment of the disease at an early stage. “Agriculture Victoria will undertake the appropriate actions to depopulate and decontaminate the site,” he said. The new detection requires a small revision to the existing Restricted Area, Golden Plains Shire, but the Control Area remains the same size spanning the Golden Plains Shire. The emu farm near Kerang reported sick birds to Agriculture Victoria and subsequent testing has confirmed low pathogenic H7N6 avian influenza. This is a different strain of avian influenza than is currently impacting poultry farms in Golden Plains Shire and is not linked to previous cases of avian influenza. The property has about 8000 farmed emus and is under quarantine. A Restricted Area 2km and a Control Area 5km is now in place around the farm. “Thank you to the property owners who notified us quickly when they noticed sick birds,” Dr Cooke said. “Avian influenza viruses occur naturally among wild birds and can be difficult to detect as they may not show signs but can cause infections in our domestic bird populations,” Dr Cooke said.

“These detections are a reminder for bird owners to be vigilant: follow restrictions and movement controls for Restricted and Control Areas, monitor your birds’ health, and have in place best biosecurity practices at your property.” These two detections bring the total number of affected farms to six since the first farm detection on 31 July. There are three farms in Golden Plains Shire that have been confirmed to have high pathogenic H7N7 avian influenza detected in their birds, and one farm in Golden Plains Shire and another near Bairnsdale confirmed to have low pathogenic H5N2 avian influenza. Avian influenza (sometimes known as bird flu) is a highly contagious disease that predominantly affects chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, quail, pheasants and ostriches. Many species of wild birds, including waterfowl and seabirds, can also carry the virus without symptoms, but occasionally it spills over into domestic poultry populations causing significant amounts of death. The public is encouraged to report sick or dead birds, especially in the Golden Plains Shire, Kerang or near Bairnsdale areas, to the 24-hour Emergency Animal Disease Watch Hotline on 1800 675 888. The H7N7, H7N6 and H5N2 types of the virus are not a risk to the public as it rarely affects humans, unless there is direct and close contact with sick birds. Properly cooked poultry products including chicken and eggs are safe to eat. Dr Cooke said movement controls of domestic birds, bird products or equipment, into, out of or within the Restricted and Control Areas in each of the three locations, is not allowed without a permit from Agriculture

New podcast series shares on-farm stories and advice VICTORIAN farmers will be able to hear stories from fellow producers around the state, along with advice and information with the launch of a new podcast from the Victorian Government. Minister for Agriculture Jaclyn Symes today launched ”Ag Vic Talk”, a pilot series that will cover problems and solutions for managing bushfire recovery, drought and dry seasonal conditions, weather and climate, as well inspiring stories from young farmers. The series will include Agriculture Victoria industry development officers providing useful advice to farmers on topics such as pasture recovery after fire, and how farmers can support their neighbours during challenging times. In addition, the series will profile dairy farmers adapting their properties in different climates and how to use technology to manage seasonal risk. Two episodes will profile Upskill and Invest Young Farmer Scholarship recipients Sarah McLean and Clay Gowers. Ms McLean shares her story of how she turned her dream of running a farm into reality, while Mr Gowers discusses how he has used aerial drone mapping on his family farm. The series is designed to address priority topics that assist farmers to grow profitable and sustainable farm businesses. “Farmers are best placed to chat to other farmers – they know the specific challenges and rewards that face them each day. This series will deliver thoughtful discussions and knowledge for everyone to benefit from,” Minister Symes said. “Ag Vic Talk” will be available on multiple podcasts platforms, and at agriculture.vic.gov.au/AgVicTalk. For more information on webinars and other virtual services, visit agriculture.vic.gov.au.

Council partnership with BCG to develop local industry By James Thomas
YARRIAMBIACK Shire Council will become a partner with Birchip Cropping Group in the hope to further support and fund agricultural businesses. The motion was put before council during last week’s meeting which would see Yarriambiack Shire Council apply for a 12 month silver corporate partnership costing between $2,000 to $5,000 per annum. Council chief executive officer Jessie Holmes said when handing the report to councillors that the partnership would offer opportunities to support the development of the local agriculture sector. “The partnership with BCG offers opportunities to support vital industry but also seek additional avenues for funding, development and support,” she said. “As a research organisation, BCG is heavily reliant on grants and memberships for its funding and this partnership allows for opportunities for us to access research and extension funding opportunities which would be unavailable to us as a local government authority.” The proposed partnership would be up for yearly review when council reviews and adopts the annual budget in June each financial year.

Motoring Are electric vehicles the future of transport? By Emma Sutcliffe
IT may surprise you to know there are many EV’s already on the road in Australia, with almost 20,000 registrations as of August this year. Although this is small compared to the total number of vehicles on the road, it’s almost certainly enough for you to have started spotting EVs around town. Even though EVs are currently most common in metro areas, there are still 23 on the road in north west Victoria as of 2019, a number expected to grow rapidly. One of the most exciting things about electric vehicles is how quickly they’re being adopted by Aussie drivers; on average, the number of EVs on the road has been more than doubling every two years. Our data suggests that EVs will be the same price as a petrol or diesel car by 2024 and that we’ll see over 250,000 on the road by 2025. That means in just five years’ time there will be more than 10 times as many electric cars on the road, enough for you to most likely know someone locally who has one, or maybe even own one yourself! As drivers become more familiar with EVs, they start to see the benefits that they have over regular combustion vehicles. The number of people who would consider an EV as their next car has also been growing rapidly, with 56 percent of drivers now considering the
purchase of an EV as their next car. It’s becoming increasingly clear that we are headed towards a future where almost every new car sold is electric. Owning an electric vehicle means you have less maintenance to do and dramatically reduce your transport
carbon emissions, particularly if you charge your EV from renewable energy. Even though Australia has no government subsidies for purchasing EVs, our growth in uptake is similar to countries like England, a country which has banned the sale of petrol
and diesel cars from 2030. However you look at it, there’s an exciting change happening in the automotive world, perhaps the biggest since combustion powered cars first started rolling off the production line in 1908. Next week we’re going to look at
some of the myths about buying and driving an electric vehicle. Emma Sutcliffe is the director of EVUp, which is building a network of EV charging infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand. For commercial and residential charging, visit evup.com.au

Roof installed in North Park development
• The North Park precinct upgrade is now set for completion in January 2020 after COVID-19 caused minor delays. Photo: CONTRIBUTED By JessieAnne Gartlan
STAWELL’S North Park development is about to enter the next stage of construction after the roof was installed last week. Despite weather and COVID-19related delays the project is only a month behind, and will next see external cladding and windows going in. Following that, air conditioning water and electricity will be roughed in, followed by a lock-up stage. The $4.3M project was due to be completed in December 2020 but now will extend into January 2021. The delay has not impacted the cost of the project. Construction began in January 2020 and project planning has been underway since 2018. It will see female-friendly and unisex changerooms, upgraded amenities constructed at the site. Beyond the building development, stormwater drainage and moving of the goalposts on the oval are the next steps in the project. The Swifts Football Netball Club has contributed $150,000 to the project and president Ian O’Donnell said it was great to see the project come together after a difficult year of sporting cancellations. “The roof is nearly on and the window frames are going in, and there are plenty of workers,” he said. “Everyone’s pretty excited to see it get to the stage where the bricks and walls go up. “The upgrade to the park ... will be ongoing for a few years and eventually it’ll be one of the best sports facilities going around. “People often run into me and say it’s looking good. It’s a good bit of news. O’Donnell said the project would
not just benefit the club but the entire community. “The focus of the whole thing is on the female-friendly stuff. Opposition teams used to come here and they’d never have anywhere to get changed,” he said. “Everyone will benefit, from schools to sporting clubs. The All Abilities play their finals here so it will suit them too because there wasn’t too good a toilet situation for them. “We are moving the goalposts and getting new ones put in proper standard ones - so it will be different next year when people come and play. “It’s a pity we missed a season. People would have been playing finals now but that’s the way it is. We’re in this together and hopefully we can come out the other side.” North Park will be cordoned off in the coming months for these important upgrade works and park users and residents will be notified well in advance of the specific dates of the works. Northern Grampians Shire mayor Councillor Murray Emerson said he was very pleased with the progress to date of North Park and has been checking in on it regularly. “It is wonderful to see the roof work being finalised as it gives us a very clear idea of what the building will look like in its setting and also means that we are nearing lock-up stage,” he said. “Hopefully there are no further delays to the project and the community and user groups can begin to enjoy this amazing facility in early 2021.” Funding worth $700,000 has been committed by the state government, $500,000 from Sport Australia, over $2.85 million from the Northern Grampians Shire Council and $150,000 from the Swifts Football Netball Club.
MORNING HEATHER CONTINUES TRACK WINS
• Morning Heather trained by Bruce and Heather Baxter winning the Final. By Horsham Greyhound Racing Club
MURTOA trainers, Bruce and Heather Baxter took training honours at Horsham Greyhound Racing Club’s first meeting of September, on Tuesday, in what will be a busy month of racing with seven meetings to occur at the Horsham Showgrounds. The Baxters have been in the middle of a purple patch of form, racking up winners most weeks at Horsham and Ballarat. Their most recent trip resulted winning the opening two races on the card. Bohemian Blue, a regally bred bitch from leviathan breeder and trainer Angela Langton, was having her first start and put on a dominant display leading all the way over
410m to record a 4 length victory. As is often the case, if a greyhound can begin well and find the rail they can generally lead through out over the short course distance. Bohemian Blue paid $5.80 for the win on the TAB. Race two saw Heather’s namesake, Morning Heather, repeat the dose from a week earlier in the heats, cruising to a comfortable win in the final over 410m. The Helen Hartigan trained Rev Up Angel was seen as Morning Heather’s only danger but could only manage third place with Baxter’s greyhound paying $2.10 as favourite on the TAB. Morning Heather has now won her only two starts and a bright future looks assured given her great box manners and quick early

sectionals. The comradeship and esteem trainers have for each other was clearly evident on Tuesday when a Central Victorian trainer had a medical episode that rendered him unable to drive his vehicle, or greyhounds home. Up stepped Horsham trainer John Weir-Smith who drove the stricken trainer home and club president, Ian Bibby followed in his own car to drive Weir-Smith back to Horsham before heading home to Warracknabeal. It is often the nature of the greyhound industry that when someone is in need there is always somebody ready to step up and lend a hand without thanks or reward, and it’s is this sentiment that makes it such a great industry.

Dimboola FNC use time away for club check up While he would rather be playing football, Ward said using the spare time wisely was as beneficial. “Generally when you are running a football club during the season there is so much going on and less time to do other things,” he said. The club have been pleased with their sponsors too who have backed the club this year with no football played at all. “We have some amazing dedicated sponsors who have been very supportive and their sponsorship money this year has really just been a donation with no games played,” Ward
said. “It’s great to have these people who support the club. We never take that for granted and always appreciate the support.” Ward said the lack of football in 2020 has driven his younger players especially, who are chomping at the bit to get back out on the oval. “The silver lining to the COVID-19 issues is we have a lot more eager young guys around the club,” he said. “The lads can’t wait to get back into it. And we’re all looking forward to the social side of the club again.”

DIMBOOLA Football and Netball Club president Justin Ward says finances are solid and good governance is in place after a club review this year. The club has used the absence of football and netball in 2020 to do a thorough health check of the club leading into season 2021. Club president Justin Ward said the club has also put in place a five year plan to ensure things were on the right track. “We conducted a club health check to make
sure we were tracking well and finances were good,” Ward said. “We’ve had the opportunity this year to do that, even though as club president I’d much rather be playing football.” The clubs’ proactive stance on setting things in place for a more prosperous long-term future has made preparations for the 2021 season easier. “We have been doing a lot of recruiting and organising players for next season,” he said. “And we’re in a great position financially and with good governance.”

HORSHAM Church of Christ pastor and footy nut Simon Risson may have stopped on the footy field but off it he continues to offer solace and advice for clubs in the Wimmera. Risson, who played at Pimpinio as well as being the clubs’ chaplain, said often the role of coach was simply to look after the football side of things, leaving little time for advice or problem solving if players needed it. “The coach is expected to do a lot as well as lead the team,” Risson said. “The opportunity for me was to be involved and help people navigate through life. “Different people have different needs, and sometimes clubs and the wider community need help pulling through tragedy. People often need a different set of ears, and I think players appreciate knowing that we all go through things and all need help sometimes.” Risson, who has lived in Horsham since the early 2000s, is also a CFA chaplain, said engaging with the community was invaluable. “Sport is a significant outlet for a community,” he said. “I am just the same as the guys or girls at sports clubs. I enjoy a log of the same things they do and so our experiences tend to be shared ones.” Risson said just because of his role as pastor is his calling in life
JOHN Aisbett scored his first win for the 2020 pigeon racing season by the narrowest possible margin, that being by one second. Sixteen members entered 589 racing pigeons in a race from Pyramid Hill, a 183-kilometre flight back to Horsham. The race was sponsored by Horsham’s Vic Hotel. Aisbetts’ winning entry flew the journey in 2 hours 16 minutes and 6 seconds, averaging 91.8 kms an hour. The north easterly breeze on Saturday resulted in a fast flight by usual standards. The club also conducted a nomination race sponsored by Latus Jewellers of Horsham. Latus Jewellers provided a ladies watch
as first prize in this novel event. Each of the sixteen members nominated two female pigeons from their entry in the race for a second race within the race. Brian Watts’ successfully nominated the winning entry from a field of 32 pigeons. His winner of this two-bird nomination race also took 3rd overall in the main event. RESULTS: Pyramid Hill (2) 1st John Aisbett, whose winning entry averaged 1,361.72 metres a minute M/M, by one second from The Mc Phee Family’s leading pigeon which averaged 1,361.51 M/M. 3rd Brian Watts, a further 1 minute and 6 seconds later at 1,350.71 M/M. Next weekend’s race will be from Elmore, north of Bendigo.

doesn’t mean he feels the need to push his ideas about God and religion onto others. “I don’t force people to come along to church, or force my thoughts and ideas on people,” he said. “For me it’s about forming relationships and engaging with the community and asking about that person - not focusing on me.”

Minyip-Murtoa in battle for best guernsey By Chris Michaels
MINYIP-MURTOA Football and Netball Club are engaged in a fierce battle, but this one isn’t happening on the football field. Instead their opponents, the Tungamah Bears, are over 345 kilometers away, don’t play in the same league and share little in common with the Burras. But come tomorrow both will be vying against each other for the honour of having the best country football guernsey in Victoria. The competition is being run by the countryfootyscores.com website, a website run by dedicated country footy fan Glenn McMahon, a primary school principal living in Cobram. The website features scores and stats for all Victorian country football league competitions. The competition came about after the site posted a top 10 of country guernseys and received plenty of feedback - so a guernsey grand final was needed. “With no football happening this was a way to keep people engaged,” McMahon said. “I originally started asking people who their favourite club mascots were, and that grew into colours and guernsey designs. “I put up my top 10 favourites (guernseys), wanting to start a conversation with people, and that led to the idea. The initial poll I ran had 18,000 votes. Each voting bracket lasted for two days and each winner moved onto the next stage. “The final four ran last weekend and now we are down to the top two, which will be decided tomorrow.” The Wimmera was wellrepresented in the final 16 with Natimuk, Rupanyah, Kalkee and Jeparit-Rainbow all featuring in the

vote leaders. Minyip-Murtoa president Scott Arnold said the club had embraced the competition and hoped for as many votes by tomorrow as possible. “It’s actually a bit of fun and a good distraction from things at the moment,” he said. Both Minyip and Murtoa have rich histories as individual clubs leading up to their merger in 1995. As a merged club they won the premierships in the Wimmera Football League in 1996, ‘97 and ‘98 before suffering an extended drought until 2019 when they won the flag. After some hearty discussions surrounding a new club guernsey choice it was decided to use the
blue of Minyip and the distinctive black and white prison bar stripes of the Murtoa Magpies to form a new guernsey. The prison bar style, made famous by Australia’s most successful football club Port Adelaide, runs chest down with a blue splash across the upper body. “It’s a great guernsey, very unique and represents both clubs really well,” Arnold said. “After the merger everything was split straight down the middle.” Hugh Delahunty played and coached at Murtoa before a career in the VFL with Essendon. He said he was thrilled for his old club and proud to see the Wimmera represented. “Without football at the moment
it has been difficult,” he said. “But having this type of thing is fantastic.” Delahunty played for Murtoa between 1967 and ‘70, before heading to Essendon. He returned to the Wimmera in 1977 and said coming back to where it all began was a special moment. “It was fantastic to come back to your home team,” he said. “My father was president before I went away, and I looked up to all of the older blokes playing back then. “To play with those guys, wearing that jumper was a great thrill.” The three famous guernseys now are all on display at the Australian Sports Museum at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. “It’s a fantastic museum to go to

go and explore,” Delahunty said. “To get those three jumpers into the museum is a fantastic effort.” McMahon said he was happily surprised at the level of interest the competition had gained. “We’ve had over 85,000 votes since we started,” he said. “It created a lot of good conversation, which was the aim. Instead of that banter at the matches on a Saturday, which can’t happen at the moment, we can have that same banter online with passionate footy fans.” The final votes will be tallied tomorrow, and the winning guernsey will be announced tomorrow morning on the Coodabeen Champions ABC radio show from 10am.
