HOME SERVICES TRANSFERRED By JessieAnne Gartlan
HORSHAM Rural City Council has confirmed it will divest of its home care services, which will be taken over by a private provider. Home services include domestic assistance, respite care, personal care, meals on wheels and home maintenance. 460 people currently access the services and the council currently spends $293,000 annually on them. The council has recommended a private provider to the state and federal governments, who both have to sign off on the choice before the transfer can be implemented. It is expected that the transfer will take place by December. Council did not disclose who the provider is and instead said it will wait until the provider has been approved, but did say seven agencies expressed interest in taking on the service. The council currently employs 34 staff to deliver the services and stated it expects they will be made redundant by the end of the year. Mayor Mark Radford said those employees will have the opportunity to apply for roles with the new provider. No roles have been guaranteed. Councillor Radford said the council did consider delaying the transition in light of the coronavirus crisis, but decided against doing so. “Based on feedback from staff and the need for certainty and interest shown from agencies, it was determined it was best to proceed at this point in time,” he said. “There will be a six month transition support process put in place between the new provider and the council to ensure there is minimal impact for clients.” Cr Radford said the decision was made to divest of the services due to “significant reforms in the aged care and disability service
industry”. “(These included) a need for government to find the most efficient and effective model of service to meet the very dramatic increase in demand for aged care and disability services; a commitment by government to introduce a standard national approach to the delivery of aged care and disability services; a shift to a model where the consumer controls their own care, including who will deliver it, when and where. “These reforms highlight that
the council's current aged and disability service will be unable to adapt to meet these requirements without significant change and cost - therefore the council has decided not to continue to provide these services.” The decision has been met with criticism by some members of the community, including potential candidate for the upcoming election, Brian Basham. “I’m perplexed as to why it’s gone ahead, given that one of
council’s key priorities is to provide that type of care,” he said. He said that the changing model for aged and disability care was not enough of a reason to transfer the services. “That’s an appalling reason,” he said. “If it’s going to save us money (to do it), then how much and can we reduce rates, especially now? “I also find it a little frustrating that the people who are currently doing the job will have to go and
reapply for the position as well. “To me that’s a little offensive because there is feedback on the council website saying how wonderful their helpers are, but nobody is really doing anything for them.” Mr Basham said the decision should have been put out for public comment. “People should have a massive say as to whether we should give up such an important item for the community,” he said.
HELP IS AVAILABLE THE Christian Emergency Relief Centre says it has found a drop in community need in recent days, which may be a sign that government COVID-19 payments are benefiting the community. However, the centre remains open and volunteers like Jenny Smith, pictured, are ready to help out those experiencing hardship. Full story - P3.

Cr. Mark Radford By Chris Michaels
WIMMERA leaders have reminded residents to seek out support and check on loved ones during the lockdown restrictions. Horsham Mayor Mark Radford said communication, and making sure everyone is looked after are key aspects of stage three restrictions. “It is so important to keep communication levels up with each other,” Mr Radford said. “Go through your phone book and ask people how they are going. Try and make a call a day to check on people who may be doing it tough during these times.” Mr Radford said that people have in the past been prudent about shopping locally to support local business, and that was more important than ever now. “Businesses will be getting the biggest whack, so it’s important to shop online locally too now,” Mr Radford said. “People need to go that extra mile now to support local online business, and to carry on that shopping locally philosophy.” In line with Mr Radford’s comments were a raft of council grants that have become available to individuals, businesses, clubs and organisations who are suffering under the weight of the pandemic. The grants are supporting business growth, recreation and community recovery and arts and events activation. “One of the ways the grants can help businesses is with getting them up online if they aren’t already,” Mr Radford said. “So those businesses without an online presence can access the grants to get their business online and selling. “We want people to start thinking outside of the square a little bit,” Mr Radford said. Mr Radford said that people needed to look after their mental health as best as possible, and one of the ways of doing that was to be extra sensitive and careful what they post online either on social media or directly to others. “People need to be more careful about comments posted online,” Mr Radford said. “There is no need to apportion blame to people in the local community. Be kind and be careful. There is no reason to inflame things further.” While West Wimmera Mayor Bruce Meyer said he was disappointed that stage three restrictions were happening in the Wimmera, he stressed the need for
all to do their best and do the right thing during restrictions. “I think the restrictions are heavyhanded on areas that have had very few or no cases,” Mr Meyer said. “To destroy the potential of businesses is heavyhanded. In small towns when a business shuts they often never come back. “One of my fears is farmers not being able to get a crop off later in the year, and the on-going border-crossing issues that stop those crops going where they need to go.” Mr Meyer acknowledged that generally people were doing the right thing and abiding by the rules and protocols. “If you have the virus and you’re running through a crowd of people then you are being selfish,” Mr Meyer said. “If we all do the right thing, we do our best then this will be over soon.” Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness called for patience as people adapted to the changing environment. “Many businesses adapted quickly before, and they will do it again. But for many, it won’t come without its challenges,” he said. “We will see impacts that weren’t as evident the first time around. “The region desperately needs rain and this is adding strain to the agriculture sector that has, until this point, performed strongly. “For many industries, this is a complex time. The ripple effects of stage four restrictions in Melbourne flowing onto the Wimmera Southern Mallee is not insignificant. “I encourage people to spend locally and support local businesses if you can – look local before you look online, support local and give local the best chance of emerging strongly from this period.” Mr Sounness encouraged businesses and individuals to access the following services: • The Department of Health and Human Services provides real-time updates online. With relation to businesses, economic development officers at councils are assisting to disseminate the latest information relating to the stage three lockdown • The Rural Financial Counselling Service can assist businesses and individuals access government packages while helping people to understand their financial position and prepare budgets or action plans; phone 1300 735 578 • Uniting Wimmera’s support line – 1800 195 115 – can connect people with a range of support agencies and services locally Mr Sounness warned the region should not rely on its location and “luck” to avoid further impacts of the pandemic. “The impacts of this lockdown – whether it’s changes to working and schooling environments, restricted movement and access to friends and family, or even wearing a mask – is not necessarily a six-week prospect. It impacts everyone – and impacts everyone differently,” he said. “I encourage businesses to make themselves aware of the financial and wellbeing support available to them. Looking out for the mental health of our community during this period is paramount and a little kindness could go a long way.”

Horsham budget adopted; rates debated By JessieAnne Gartlan HORSHAM Rural City Council has adopted the 2020-21 budget after a tense meeting Monday night. The meeting came about after Councillor John Robinson moved a rescission motion at the council’s July ordinary meeting the week prior in response to the budget receiving the majority of
votes. During the meeting Cr Robinson put forward arguments against the proposed two percent rates rise, arguing that a zero percent rates rise would instead benefit the community during the increasingly bleak economic climate. Councillors in support of the budget said the rates revenue would be spent on a targeted program assisting those community groups

and businesses who were struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. The councillors also entered into a lengthy debate about the appropriateness of holding the meeting a week after the initial meeting, as well as the necessity of the two percent rate rise. Cr Robinson said during the meeting that he had “very clearly” stated that he would not be able to gather and submit sufficient information regarding his motion in time for a Monday night meeting, and to hold it then would “prejudice” the vote. Cr Radford said the council had voted unanimously in favour of holding the meeting on Monday August 3 if the motion was lodged by the end of Wednesday, which it was. “That was voted for on Monday night (during the July ordinary meeting) and that’s what happened,” he said. Cr Robinson told The Horsham Times: “I said very clearly that I can’t make that deadline and if you do (schedule the meeting) you may as well have it without me.” Cr Radford said during the meeting that the council had sought legal advice as to when to hold the meeting, which chief executive Sunil Bhalla partially read out: “Whilst a councillor may specify a particular meeting date in the notice of motion in accordance with clause E. 11. 4, the clause does not preclude council from considering a rescission motion on a different meeting date. “It would be inappropriate to do so because it would otherwise allow a councillor to unreasonably delay the implementation of the council decision, meaning the subject of the rescission motion.” Cr Radford told The Horsham Times: “If you’re not sure you get an external opinion to advise you and that was done, so we sought legal advice that
said the meeting was legal and so we dealt with it by following what I understand was the right process.” Cr Robinson said that the world had changed dramatically since the budget was drafted and it was important for the council to reconsider it in light of new information surrounding the coronavirus pandemic and the recent announcement of a state of emergency. “This budget needs to be adjusted to reflect the new world reality,” he said during the meeting. Cr Robinson told The Horsham Times it was not appropriate to increase taxes in the community at this time. “A two percent (rates rise) is $484,000,” he said. “It’s been put to people that it’s going to mean (an increased rate payment equivalent to) a cup of coffee or a new item of clothing, but if we leave that money in the economy, we don’t have the administration and handling fees coming out of it. “When we’ve got the state and federal governments pouring funds into the community, what message does it convey when the tier of government closest to the community says ‘no, we’re going to bump up your taxes’?” Cr Radford said the COVID-19 fund was now open for applications from businesses and community groups, as well as clubs, the arts sector and event organisers. “It’s a very good opportunity,” he said. “It’s now open until March next year and the money is flexible, so if we need to tip some more into it that can be done. “We certainly encourage people to have a look at it. In its simplest form, we’re all chipping in a little bit from our rate rise and it’s going towards helping oru businesses and community groups who are really challenged at the moment.”

•Shirl Hair answers the phones at the Christian Emergency Relief Centre in Horsham. By JessieAnne Gartlan
HORSHAM’S Christian Emergency Food Centre has seen a surprisingly low amount of need throughout the coronavirus pandemic, says client assessment manager Bev Miatke. The centre provides emergency relief in the form of food, advocacy and financial support to the community. Ms Miatke said it was possible that targeted coronavirus government assistance was answering the community's need, placing less demand on the centre. “We’ve had less than half of the amount of people coming through than we would normally have,” she said. “We hope it’s because they are doing okay. “I’m assuming all the payments that everyone’s receiving is making a real difference to people.” As stage three lockdown begins in regional Victoria for the second time, Ms Miatke said the centre’s volunteers remained prepared to help despite some vulnerable volunteers needing to stay home. “We continued to work throughout stage three before, and we will continue to do that,” she said. “We normally have 65 volunteers on our list. A lot of them are in the vulnerable age groups and many of them decided not to continue with us. “But because it’s a lot quieter and we have to social distance so it’s turned out okay. We can get the work done with fewer volunteers. We’ve just had to change our processes to make sure that happens.”
Ms Miatke wanted to get the message out that anyone experiencing hardship during the pandemic, whether for the first time or not, could access the centre’s services. “We are still here to help and will be during these stage three restrictions,” she said. “If you’ve lost your job and need help for the first time ever, we can help and we will make it as painless as possible. “We provide help with medical prescriptions. If funds are low and you need a script filled, give us a call and we can organise it. “If you need someone to talk for you to the energy companies to help with advocacy, we can do that as well. “We are not a supermarket, we don’t have everything, but we do have a wide range of fresh food, meat and toiletries. “If you’re in isolation and can’t get out, the local Love Your Neighbour team is helping us with some deliveries. We can organise it, it’s just a matter of giving us a ring and asking for help.” Love Your Neighbour Horsham is a volunteer-run Facebook page that provides a platform for people to offer or request help in Horsham. Ms Miatke said that the volunteers could also drive out to surrounding towns such as Nhill, Kaniva and Jeparit for people who can’t get into Horsham. The centre can be contacted on either 5381 2311 or 5382 1326 between 1pm and 3.30pm during weekdays, or via its website at www. cefc.org.au.

COVID-19 Support Grants open this week
Three grant streams now available to support business, community and events Businesses, clubs, organisations and individuals are being encouraged to apply for Horsham Rural City Council’s three-pronged COVID-19 Support Grants package. The grant program’s launch comes after the 2020-21 Budget was adopted, with all of the $484,000 raised from a two per cent rate increase to be delivered back to the municipality to support community sectors most impacted by the pandemic. This program will provide support through the following streams: Recreation and Community Recovery Funding for clubs and groups to offset financial losses and membership decline due to COVID-19. There are also grants to respond to COVID-19 hygiene requirements and to reactivate participation in a COVID-19 safe manner.
Stronger Business Grants of up to $5000 to support innovation, operational improvements, marketing strategies, and business growth in response to the challenges of COVID-19. Arts and Events Activation Strengthen community resilience and support innovation for groups and individuals in response to COVID-19. Applications can be made until 31 March 2021 or until total funding has been fully allocated for each stream. Applications will be assessed and approved monthly throughout this period. Mayor Mark Radford said the COVID-19 emergency had put many organisations under pressure, and Council was committed to supporting them. “Just as we were starting see the light
at the end of the tunnel following the first lockdown, circumstances have meant a return to Stage 3 restrictions,” Cr Radford said. “We realise how incredibly hard this is for our businesses, sporting clubs, community groups, organisers of our much loved local events and the many people who contribute to local arts and culture. “We want to help them in any way we can to get through this ongoing and challenging situation. “In particular, our businesses are an integral part of the community and I would encourage everyone to once again get behind them and shop local wherever possible, including when we buy online.” See hrcc.vic.gov.au for more information including the COVID-19 Support Grants Guidelines.
COVID-19: RETURN TO STAGE 3 RESTRICTIONS There are four reasons that you can leave home: • Shopping for food or other essential items • To provide care giving, for compassionate reasons or to seek medical treatment • For exercise (applies to outdoor exercise, and with only one other person or members of your household) • Work or study, if you cannot work or study from home.

BUSINESSES TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF STAGE THREE RESTRICTIONS By Chris Michaels
NEW coronavirus stage three restrictions for regional Victoria has meant many businesses in Horsham will be closing or offering reduced services for at least the next six weeks. While discussions are still ongoing, Horsham Cinema manager Kerry Bolwell said the cinema looks set to close with a couple of takeaway favourites to keep movie-loving folk happy. “At this stage most likely we will be able to continue to do our takeaway choc tops and popcorn,” Mr Bolwell said. “We may just do that on Friday and Saturday night. If the people still want it then we will keep doing it.” Kyle Torney, who owns Torney’s Fighting Fit in St Arnaud said the options were limited. “We sort of have no other option but to close,” Mr Torney said. “Last time we had similar restrictions the dent in our income was about 70 percent.” Mr Torney said the gym would be hiring out equipment to help keep members fit and motivated during the weeks to come. “We’ll be renting out equipment again and posting daily workouts online on Facebook again like last time,” he said. Mr Torney’s advice for those at home who wanted to keep busy and healthy was simple. “The best thing to do is create a routine,” Mr Torney said. “Put aside a block of time each day, even if just for 20 minutes of exercise.” Anytime Fitness Gym Manager in Horsham Tyra Milgate encouraged members to keep active and look after their mental health as well. “We are really encouraging everyone within the community to put aside some time for
exercise each day and to keep positive during this time,” she said. “Unfortunately we have no choice to close as the health and safety of our community is vital. “All our members have access to the Anytime Fitness App and Health Hub resources to support them with their training outside of the club. “We will also stay connected with our members via social media until we can open again. “It’s really important to keep active as much as possible to help look after ourselves both physically and mentally.” Victoria Hotel owner Mark Fitterer said while things were difficult his staff remained positive and strong. “The staff have all been very positive and maintained a really good attitude,” Mr Fitterer said. “I think they’re the best staff in Horsham by far.” Mr Fitterer said keeping all staff employed was the priority and he was taking steps to ensure some money would be coming into the hotel during the lockdown. “We will continue with the drive through bottle shop, and go back to takeaway meals which worked well last time,” he said. “We’ve lost well over 50 percent of takings this year, with the first lockdown, because we lost keno and the TAB facilities.” The White Hart Hotel owner Bruce Hartigan said the hotel may finish off some renovations and try again to offer takeaway meals, even though the last lockdown was difficult. “We will close and try to offer takeaway meals for people even if last time the meals weren’t successful and we didn’t do well from them,” Mr Hartigan said. “There is no point if they aren’t working. We

might do takeaway Friday and Saturday night, and if that doesn’t go well we will pull the pin.” Mr Hartigan said keeping your spirits up was the only way to get through this difficult time.
“You have to try and keep your mind off the negativity,” Mr Hartigan said. “The jobkeeper has really helped us and if we didn’t have that we would shut.”
Health organisations encourage kindness LISTER House chief executive Amanda Wilson said there were many ways people could help themselves and others if they’re feeling anxious or concerned about the lockdown. “Reach out to someone,” Ms Wilson said. “If you need a mental health related referral you can now get that over the phone. “Lifeline and Beyond Blue are available online and Horsham has its own mental health phone number which is 1800 195 114 through Uniting Wimmera.” Ms Wilson said there are people doing it tough, facing not just isolation but also job

losses and financial insecurity. “Ring a neighbour if you can and talk to them about what’s happening in their life,” Ms Wilson said. “Mental health issues, anxiety and uncertainty around the future are all real issues and there are support networks available. “Ringing a GP is a good first step, and they can organise extra assistance if you are on a health care plan.” Wimmera Health Care Group Communications Manager Peter Miller said even small things to look forward to beyond the pandemic were important. “The good thing to look forward to is

at least warmer spring weather is coming soon,” Mr Miller said. “Another positive is to be grateful that Horsham’s coronavirus numbers have remained at seven and have not increased at all.” Mr Miller said after initial difficulties people have generally done the right thing in the community, which is why the number of cases has remained at seven. “The response has been good because the number could have escalated,” Mr Miller said. “People need to continue to stay in touch with each other via Zoom, through telehealth or Facetime.”

Lifeline also encouraged people to use its phone support service if needed. Lifeline Australia chairman John Brogden said reaching out was important and there are people who can help. “My message to all Victorians is, you are not in this alone, Lifeline is here for you. Please don’t suffer in silence,” Mr Brogden said. “With these unprecedented restrictions and extended mandatory isolation, we know there will be an increasing number of Victorians who will struggle with isolation and heightened anxiety. We want to reassure every Victorian that we are here for you, at any time you need us on 13 11 14.”

Army Reservists - Horsham Truckers deployed on Operation COVID-19 Assist By FLTLT Marina Lysenko
AUSTRALIAN Army Reservists, and Horsham locals, Privates Gerard Emmett and Leonidas Shawkey of 2nd Force Support Battalion answered the call when needed. They are currently deployed on Operation COVID-19 Assist in Melbourne, assisting with the state response to COVID-19 in their roles as drivers in the Royal Australian Transport Corps. For Private Emmett this is the second time this year he has been asked to provide assistance in his role as an Army Reservist; only months after he ďŹ nished supporting his community during Operation BushďŹ re Assist. “We are assisting the State Government with the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Melbourne.â€? “Our role is important because we are getting vital supplies to ADF personnel on the frontline,â€? he said. Private Emmett said that it’s good to get out there and assist the community. “It’s a good feeling. It’s giving something back to the local communities and helping them out as best as we can.â€? In his civilian role Private Emmett works as a courier and loves driving trucks both in the Army and for his courier job. “What I am doing in my Reserve role, is very

similar to my civilian job as a courier in Horsham, except in the ADF I get to go off-road,â€? he said. Operation COVID-19 Assist is Private Leonidas Shawkey’s ďŹ rst operation and he is planning on volunteering for as long as the operation lasts. “I drive to and from areas, delivering stores and equipment – whatever the ADF needs.â€? “Delivering supplies is a crucial part of Operation COVID-19 Assist. Without us, the stores don’t get moved, people don’t get what they need so we’re a very important part of the Operation,â€? he said.
Private Shawkey’s civilian job as a driver has prepared him for the tasks required of him on this operation. “My civilian skills involve working with people. So talking with people is something I really enjoy doing,� he said. “I think it’s transferred over to my Reservist job with the Army. “Part of the job is being on the road, in the public eye so being able to deal with people is crucial.� The ADF is contributing to the whole-of-government response to the COVID-19 pandemic with a range of personnel and logistics support.
L.A.C JOHN ALEXANDER SCOTT By Horsham R.S.L.
LEADING aircraftman John Alexander Scott was born in Horsham, Victoria on 22 October 1950. He enlisted in the RAAF on 7th October 1968 having trained as an airďŹ eld defence guard. Scott was posted to Vietnam for a twelve month tour of duty, arriving on 29th July 1970. For the ďŹ rst six months of his tour. Scott was a guard at 9 Squadron’s RAAF base at Vung Tau, undertaking regular patrols and tower duty around the perimeter of the base. From January 1971 Scott ew as a door gunner on 9 Squadron’s Iroquois helicopters. Initially he ew on Slicks and Dustoffs before transferring to gunships. Slicks were helicopters used primarily for carrying troops, equipment or supplies and were ďŹ tted with either single or dual 7.62 mm
caliber M60 machine guns on an M23 mounting. Dustoffs were also Slicks but were used for aero-medical evacuations only. Slicks and Dustoffs were frequently accompanied by gunships - code named ‘Bushrangers’ - for aero-covers and defence when approaching ‘hot’ landing zones, and to provide additional ďŹ re support. Gunships were ďŹ tted with an additional weapons system on top of the single or dual 7.62 mm caliber M60 machine guns. On each side of the helicopter was a M21 mounting ďŹ tted with an M134 7.62 calibre mini- gun and an M158 seven-tube 2.75 inch rocket launcher. Scott was involved in an action on March 20th where a young RAAF pilot was killed by enemy ground ďŹ re in South Vietnam when his helicopter gunship ew low to support an Australian Army unit pinned down by ďŹ re 30 metres from enemy bunkers.

NORTHERN GRAMPIANS SHIRE COUNCIL SUSPENDS SERVICES NORTHERN Grampians Shire Council has again closed several of its services in response to the state government’s stage three coronavirus restrictions. The shire had two active cases of coronavirus earlier this week. That figure dropped down to one on Wednesday, and the number of all-time cases totalled four. The Stawell Sports and Aquatic Centre, council’s customer service centres, and all library services are among those to close. The Maternal and Child Health Program will still take appointments over the telephone, with face to face appointments to take place only with an appointment. Playgrounds, skate parks, water fountains and outdoor barbecues will also be closed.
The council reminded people that a $652 fine applies for breaching any of the Stage Three restrictions and a $4957 fine for those who test positive and are found in breach of their isolation order. Masks are available from several outlets within the shire. People can visit ww.ngshire.vic. gov.au/coronavirus for a list of local suppliers. Businesses who would like to be included in this list are asked to contact business@ngshire. vic.gov.au. Northern Grampians Shire Council Mayor, Murray Emerson, expressed his concern for fellow residents and the return to harsher restrictions. “It is quite sad that we find ourselves in this position again, returning to Stage three
restrictions,” he said. “However, we need to do everything we can to keep our shire safe and to think of the health of others. I ask all residents to abide by the new restrictions and to be mindful of the very heavy penalties that can be applied if they do not adhere to them. “Be kind, be sensible, and follow the new rules because the sooner we stop the spread of Coronavirus, the sooner we can go back to a more normal existence.” If residents are concerned they may be showing signs of Coronavirus or have had close contact with someone who has tested positive, pre-booked tests can be made through Stawell Regional Health on 03 5358 8500 and East Wimmera Health Service on 03 5477 2100.

Magpies Magpies will be more active over the next few weeks. As if they are not busy enough raising young fledglings they can always find time to scare off intruders. Once the nesting urge takes over and a guard takes up, anything or anyone gets a clear message to stay clear. Maggies tend to stay in family groups and defend a territory. The territory can vary in size depending on the district. The birds can take aggressive action with a swooping dive bomb and harsh language generally from behind. They can make contact with painful results inflicted by the strong beak. The best defence is to steer clear while they are nesting. Walkers and cyclists are ideal targets. Don’t wave sticks at them but holding a longer stick straight up past your head and hold it still will at least make the bird aim higher. Magpies are protected. To see these birds flying about is to watch a skillfull specialist at work. The nest is often fairly high in a tree and well constructed and about dinner plate size across made of sticks and an open top. For most of the year they can be quite friendly and useful by eating grubs, crickets and grasshoppers. Magpies can be arrogant and dangerous but for the rest of the year the birds can hang around and entertain you with their warbling song. Magpies have suffered in some districts by secondary poisoning by farmers trying to kill off excessive numbers of mice.

Natimuk craft community pull together
• The Natimuk Craft Shop. By Chris Michaels
THE Arapiles art and craft centre committee have been busy sewing masks for the community. The committee, which runs the Natimuk craft shop, has sold about 200 masks in the last couple of weeks as demand grows and new restrictions come into effect. Committee president Julie Obst said the community-minded spirit of the town folk had shone through. “We all look out for each other, and try to do as much for the town as we can during these difficult times,” Ms Obst said. “With there being no cafe at the moment and with no water in the lake, things have been difficult, so it is good to help the town out.” The craft shop recently celebrated
its 40th anniversary, and is manned by volunteers who take three shifts each Tuesday, Thursday and Friday to supply the town with food, books and craft. “We definitely have a good mix of items,” Ms Obst said. “We have locally sourced honey, and beautiful cakes. We have a lady who makes lovely chutneys and jams. We sell produce that comes from the Men’s Shed and beautiful bunches of native flowers. “It’s a lovely little shop. I’ve been the president for about four years, and when we had our birthday celebrations we actually had some original members of the committee come along.” The shop was closed during the first coronavirus lockdown, but reopened in early June. The shop, which is owned by Horsham Rural City Council, was cleaned and precautions taken with the reopening. “We’re adhering to social distancing regulations and have hand sanitizer available,” Ms Obst said. “Everyone has been following the rules and coming inside when they’re allowed to.” With the wearing of masks now mandatory throughout Victoria, the shop is expecting more visitors and an even greater demand for face masks. “We have all of the sewers in the town working away on new masks that will be ready for sale in time for people to protect themselves and the community.”

Wimmera mask makers help the disadvantaged By Chris Michaels
WIMMERA locals are pulling together to ensure every person in the region has a mask following strict new lockdown rules. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has teamed up with Arnna Pickering from local business Evoke Kinesiology, who raised the idea of developing a supply of masks that could be given to elderly and vulnerable people in Lowan communities who were unable to
source one or could not afford to buy one. Ms Kealy said the kindness and support being offered in the community during this stressful time was amazing. “The generosity of our communities is absolutely incredible, with many offers of support already coming in,� Ms Kealy said. “I am so grateful to everyone who has volunteered their time and talents to make masks or to donate them to this cause – every bit of support is greatly appreciated.�
From coffee cups to compost • WIMMERA FACE MASK: Member for Lowan Emma Kealy outside of her office holding some of the masks that have been donated. Photo: CONTRIBUTED
Ms Kealy said it was elderly and disadvantaged residents were most at risk. “The Victorian Government has announced 2.1 million masks for the elderly and vulnerable, but we haven’t received an allocation of these masks in our region and we cannot afford to wait,� she said. “Let’s do what we do best in the country and take the initiative to look after one another.� Ms Kealy said there would be a supply of masks at her electorate office in Horsham and across communities so that masks could get to those in need quickly. “I would like to say a huge thank you to Arnna
for driving this fantastic project, and to those who have already donated masks, including Bianca Inkster and Carlie Streeter at Horsham Amcal Pharmacy, Harvest Church Horsham and Horsham Church of Christ – your support is invaluable,� Ms Kealy said. Ms Kealy encouraged anyone who needed a mask to contact her office on 5382 0097 or email emma.kealy@parliament.vic.gov.au. She said people who wanted to help by donating masks could contact her by phone or email, drop them at her office step at 114 Firebrace Street Horsham, or respond to her post on her Facebook page.
• Flavia Guardia’s ‘Eco Enviro Concepts’ business is helping reduce waste in the Wimmera and surrounding areas by simply recycling coffee cups. By Connor McKenzie
IN an increasingly consumerist world, Horsham’s Flavia Guardia is doing her part to reduce waste in the region. Since arriving in Australia from Argentina in 2013, Ms Guardia has engrossed herself into the Australian business climate. Attending multiple micro-business courses in North Melbourne has assisted her efforts to grow her coffee cup recycling business. However, Ms Guardia does not just recycle the coffee cups she collects from various locations across the Wimmera, Mallee and South Western districts. Her business is pivotal in using the raw materials from these coffee cups to create products that put the materials straight back into the earth, saving on landfill waste. ‘Eco Enviro Concepts’ is Ms Guardia’s brainchild, and she is hoping to expand her business into even more locations across the state. “The business started with going around the local markets around Horsham and collecting shoppers coffee cups to recycle,� Ms Guardia said. “People often forget that these cups are recyclable, so it was an effort to keep the waste down and turn the plastic and paper
into products which people could re-use. “We know there is a passion for recycling in the region. We see that in the success of our bins in various locations. “We put one of our bins in the YMCA complex in Horsham and we saw over 400 coffee cups go into the bin.� Guardia is urging any businesses who want to help reduce the amount of plastic and paper waste in the area to order one of their coffee cup bins, which will go straight to Eco Enviro Concepts product line. “We use all the raw materials to produce products that go straight back into the environment, including flower boxes, beeswax wrap, square plant pots, eco fire bricks, germination cubes and lots more,� Ms Guardia said. “We have recently acquired our ‘Made in Australia’ accreditation on all our products, which we are really excited about.� Eco Enviro Products are quickly expanding into larger markets including Ballarat and Warrnambool, and are proving a successful way to reduce waste by simply recycling coffee cups. If people are interested in acquiring the coffee cup bins, or to buy the various products made from the recycled material, head to www.ecoenviroconcepts.com.

Real Estate Demand for housing outstrips supply By Caitlyn Quinn
DEMAND for housing has increased significantly over the last few months according to real estate agents in the region, with houses on the market being snapped up quicker than usual and rental properties receiving an influx of applications. Experienced Sales Executive Garry Price from Coller Rathgeber Property Group has 40 years of experience under his belt and has been selling properties in Dimboola for the last 20 years. He said he’s experiencing, “the strongest market I’ve seen”. While properties in Dimboola are on the market for an average of 85 days, Mr Price said, “it’s probably less than that now”. Aaron Lewis, director and business owner of Ray White Horsham said most of the region is experiencing “high demand and limited supply” which is impacting how long houses are on the market for. “A lot of (buyers) are committing to properties straight away,” he said. “Inspections are minimal because we don’t need them. “Buyers are acting straight away in the fear that they’ll lose the opportunity to buy the property,” he said. According to Mr Price, in the last six months housing prices have “firmed up” with most buyers paying the asking price on listed properties. Prices are holding firm as there is, “a big shortage of stock at the moment,” he said. He suggests that an increase in migration from metropolitan Melbourne to regional Victoria, with buyers seeking lower house prices and more bang for their buck, is partly responsible for the increase in demand, that he has seen over the last three or four years. Between 2011 and 2016, Melbourne lost more residents to regions than they gained with over 77,000 making the move to regional Victoria, according to the Regional Institute of Australia. The Institute suggests that in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, migration to regional hubs is likely to increase as flexible working conditions become the norm. Mr Price warned that, “we won’t have enough houses in the country for them.”
• Buyers are snapping up housing across the district according to real estate agencies. High demand and limited supply is causing buyers to commit to the purchase straight away, out of fear of losing it to another buyer.
Property manager at Ray White Horsham, Letitia Bunworth, said the rental market is facing the same supply issues. “We’re getting inundated, up to 25 inspections for one property which is unheard of,” she said. Rental prices are set to increase with so much demand, according to Ms Bunworth.
She said, “we’re getting a lot of inquiries from Melbourne,” and have been using videos to give virtual inspections to prospective tenants, as they are unable to leave the metro area. Mr Price said that one reason Dimboola has become a popular destination is due to its close proximity to Horsham.
With regional Victoria returning to stage three restrictions Mr Price said it will be important to continue to uphold strong safety measures and enforce social distancing and mask wearing during inspections. “We’ve got to be super careful how we go about it and we have to stick to protocol and do all the right things,” he said.
Your dream house may be just a page turn away... The Wimmera housing market is hoped to warm back up in Winter, as COVID isolation loosens securing your dream home may again be a reality.

RENTAL MARKET EASES BUT RENTALS STILL CRITICALLY SHORT
AVAILABILITY in the Wimmera rental market has risen slightly after a tight 12 months but properties remain “critically short”. Recent Real Estate Institute of Victoria figures showed availability in the Wimmera for June 2020 was at 1.4 percent, compared to 0.9 percent in May and 1.2 percent in June 2019. The average availability for regional Victoria was slightly higher at 1.8 percent while in metropolitan areas the average availability was 3 percent. “In our area the availability of rental properties is critically short,” NorthWest Real Estate director John Hadley said. “We have a number of qualified tenants that just can’t find rental properties and speaking to other businesses, it is hard to attract staff from outside the region because of the shortage of accomodation.” Other factors were also discouraging prospective landlords, Mr Hadley said. “We are starting to see a worrying trend of prospective landlords scared off from purchasing properties because of the speculation around the changes in the Residential Tenancies Act,” he said. “Ten to 15 years ago there was a trend for owner occupied houses being snapped up by investors who were attracted to the high returns being offered throughout the north western region. “But I’ve noticed that trend actually reversing, with rental properties being bought by owner occupiers because of the lack of available properties on the market. “The shortage of rental accommodation
is holding back growth in our region at a time when the rural economies are quite strong.” REIV President Leah Calnan Regional said more rentals were needed to keep up with the growing demand. “Having lower rental vacancy rates throughout June means there are fewer homes available for people to rent, and there has never been a more important time to have a roof over your head,” she said.
“Regional property managers are inundated with rental enquiries daily, and we need more rental stock to help meet our communities’ constantly growing housing needs. “This rental data, combined with the annual growth shown in the June Quarterly Medians, demonstrates the strength and resilience of the Victorian property market.” “Victoria’s rental market is holding firm in the face of the coronavirus pandemic
creating unique conditions.” Weekly rental prices have remained steady across regional Victoria throughout the last six months. REIV said the steady rental prices could be primarily attributed to property owners moving away from short term rentals like Airbnb. The median weekly rent for regional Victoria for June 2020 was $300, up from $280 in June 2019.

Here’s some top tax tips to help you get more money back at tax time. 1: Claim as many work-related expenses as you can Many expenses that you accumulate during the year in the course of earning your wage can be claimed in your tax return. However, many cannot, and incorrectly claiming these may result in a penalty from the Australian Taxation Office. Here’s a few examples that you might be eligible for: Tools and work-specific clothing. The item is needed to perform your job for example, tools that tradesmen use, equipment that hairdressers use, special shoes such as steel cap boots. Safety items Item’s needed for self-protection or safety when doing your job for example, sunscreen and sunglasses if you are required to work outside Laptops and mobile phones If these are used for work purposes you’re able to claim it on tax (if you have a laptop that you use for work and personal use, you’re only entitled to claim the portion that you use for work). Courses and conferences Self-education expenses such as courses and certificates need to be directly related to your profession and will help you get a promotion or a pay rise. 2. Claim tax deductions for working
at home If you work from home full time, part time or only on the odd occasion, you are eligible to claim this as a tax deduction. For example, if you’re running a business from home (full-time or part-time) that requires you to use computers, phones and other electronic devices, you could be eligible to claim deductions on certain costs. This even included the cost of your home internet and electricity bills. Working from home tax deductions can include the following: Cleaning costs. The expenses incurred from cleaning office space at home. Office furniture. Purchase and repair costs for office furniture and fittings required to do your job. Your phone bill. Landline and mobile phone calls related to work matters (you should get an itemised phone bill and highlight the work-related calls). Your home internet bill. You can claim a portion of your monthly internet bill, in line with how often you use it for work purposes. Electricity bills. You can also claim a portion of your home electricity bills, in line with how often you work from home. Amazingly, you can also claim a portion of your occupancy expenses, like rent, mortgage, and home insurance, so long as you operate your business solely from your home and have a dedicated space for business activities. It’s important you claim working

from home expenses correctly, to avoid a penalty from the Australian Taxation Office. You’ll need to show evidence and your calculations to justify how much you’re claiming. A tax agent can do this for you to ensure you’re claiming correctly. 3. Use a registered tax agent (they’ll help maximise your return and their fee is tax deductible!) For a lot of people, using a tax agent to lodge your tax return is the easiest way to ensure you’re claiming everything that you’re eligible for.
Here’s how tax agents can help you this tax time: Claim the tax agent fee as a tax deduction. You might be surprised to learn that the cost of using a tax agent is completely tax deductible. Claim more deductions. Tax agents know the ins and outs of the tax system so they’ll be able to help you claim everything you’re entitled to, even things you might not be aware that you’re entitled to claim. Claim correctly. If you don’t claim your deductions correctly, you could be hit with a fine from the ATO. Tax agents
will help make sure you’ve claimed everything correctly so you can have peace of mind after you lodge your return. Help with calculations. Claiming things like home office expenses and car use can be really tricky and time consuming. You’ll often need to create a log book, or show your working for figuring out how much you can claim. Tax agents are professionals at this, so it can save you a lot of time and stress. Offer tax tips. Tax agents can also offer you extra tax tips and tips for organising your finances in general.

SPRING RAIN ALL IMPORTANT
• While a good steady rainfall in the first six months of the year has given farmers optimism, the lack of rain throughout July is causing some concern. By Chris Michaels
WITHOUT a significant increase in rainfall during August farmers will need to rely on healthy spring rains to ensure reasonable crops this year. Blair Farms owner Tom Blair said the lack of rainfall during July does have some farmers worried. “Rainfall has been good up until last month,” Mr Blair said. “But the lack of rain during July is a little concerning. The winter
months of June, July and August are always vital every year. If we don't get good winter rainfall then we will need a big spring rain.” Mr Blair, a farmer since 1954, has seen good and bad cropping seasons over the years. Based in Kalkee, where even into his 80s he still oversees the family's farming business, his experience is invaluable when rainfall is mentioned. “Things are good at this stage, with no crops in the area suffering,”
SPRING
Mr Blair said. “But if there is no solid spring rain then we could end up with very little grain.” “We saw droughts in 2002, 2004 and 2006,” Mr Blair said. "You're in the lap of the gods really. Look every year is different. You really just do what you can, and don't worry about what you can't control.” Sparke Agricultural and Associates Director and senior consultant Mathew Sparke said a lack of rain in July, coupled with regular frost were both concerns for
farmers leading into spring. “The damage frost can do is freeze pollen,” Mr Sparke said. “And if stems freeze then you lose the whole lot.” “Most crops are in early, and are therefore more prone to frost. Some of those crops are fairly substantial.” Mr Sparke said farmers’ ability to produce more crops with less water was an advantage in times of lower rainfall. “We can produce more with less rain these days,” Mr Sparke said.
“After a dry July we need rain to keep the crops going. That needs to happen in August.” Mr Sparke said that the millennium drought had taught farmers more about managing their water and farming habits, and that experience can be put to good use this year. “The millennium drought pushed a lot of changes through,” Mr Sparke said. “When you get pushed financially you need to become adaptable.”

Business Trades Directory EFFLUENT DISPOSAL PIT OPENS AT THE HORSHAM REGIONAL LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE By Chris Michaels
A NEW livestock effluent disposal pit at the Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange is now available to all livestock transporters. HRLE manager Paul Christopher said the project was a joint initiative of the Australian Livestock and Rural Transporters Association and Horsham Rural City Council. “The newly installed pit will provide an opportunity for transporters to dispose of accumulated livestock effluent either at the end of their journey to the saleyards, or on their way to deliver a consignment further afield,” Mr Christopher said. “Previously, there weren’t enough locations for transporters to properly dispose of effluent along the road network. “Together, we agreed to deliver this project to effectively provide an opportunity for livestock transporters to dispose of effluent in
WORKING FOR VICTORIA IS WORKING FOR DIMBOOLA By Caitlyn Quinn
FORTY workers will join agriculture and environmental task forces throughout the Wimmera as part of the Work for Victoria initiative. Wimmera CMA has successfully received two rounds of funding from the state government to employ workers who may otherwise be unemployed or underemployed during the pandemic. Twenty workers have already joined the environmental team and started work at the end of June. Applications are still open to join the agricultural team with work set to start in the next few weeks. David Brennan, CEO of Wimmera CMA, said important work is being done while supporting members of the community. “We’ve got the funding for six months worth of employment for those people which is a really great boost for the region,” he said. “The Dimboola community will definitely notice the Working for Victoria crews,” he said. “It’s the first time in a while that we’ve had such a big crew available in the Wimmera so we’re expecting that we are going to be able to achieve quite a bit of work that ordinarily would take years to do or we just wouldn’t have the volunteers,” he said. Currently, the environmental team are busy planting trees across the Wimmera and in Dimboola with the Hindmarsh Landcare Network and are “trying to get as many trees in the ground during the winter as possible,” said Mr Brennan. The Work for Victoria crew contributed to the Hindmarsh Project which is a long term development to link the Little Dessert and Big Dessert through a series of bio links. Jonathon Starks, facilitator at Hindmarsh Landcare Network, said, “about a thousand trees, shrubs and grasses” were planted by the workers.
Hindmarsh Landcare Network weren’t able to hold their usual community tree planting weekend due to Covid-19 restrictions so the Wimmera CMA crew were “a tremendous help” said Mr Starks. “It’s been greatly appreciated and they did a fantastic job too,” he said. Wimmera CMA has been in contact with local councils and community groups across the Wimmera to identify other projects to be undertaken and Mr Brennan encourages anyone with ideas to contact the Wimmera CMA office. “Some of those tasks will be spraying out weeds along the river, fox control, looking at rabbits and broader environmental and community projects as well,” Mr Brennan said. Projects with the Department of Environment, Water, Land and Planning to target critical action on pests have begun in the Grampians. Mr Brennan said, “whenever there’s any good initiatives or any ideas that work well throughout the Wimmera, we will do everything we can do to make sure that it’s replicated right across the Wimmera." The funding from the work is part of the Victorian government’s $50 million Agriculture Workforce plan which is part of the $500 million Working for Victoria Fund. It is part of the Economic Survival Plan outlined by the government to connect workers with new employment opportunities throughout the pandemic. The Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio described the work being conducted as “important, hands-on work that benefits communities across Victoria and keeps our environment and landscapes healthy”. Mr Brennan encourages anyone interested in joining the agriculture team to register their interest at the Working for Victoria website.
western Victoria.” ALRTA president Stephen Marley, said that managing effluent in transit was a significant challenge. “Effluent capture tanks installed on purpose-built livestock trailers do a reasonable job of containment however there is a need for transporters to access suitable facilities for disposal when tanks become full in transit and at ‘end of journey’ facilities,” Mr Marley said. “Disposal facilities benefit the livestock supply chain and the community. They improve safety by ensuring cleaner roads and improved animal welfare outcomes and help to reduce the risk of noncompliance with biosecurity, environment and load restraint laws.” • EFFLUENT DISPOSAL PIT: Livestock and Rural Transporters Association of Victoria President John Beer, HRCC Co-ordinator Commercial Enterprises Paul Christopher and Gordon Fischer of Fischer Transports Horsham.

Business Trades Directory Good management is the key to success for Forage Brassica By Rural Vision
Preparation is the key to a successful pasture renovation program, so it pays to plan ahead, not only for the forage crop but also for the subsequent pasture to be sown the next autumn. Identify poorly producing paddocks in need of pasture improvement and obtain a soil test prior to sowing. Fertiliser A soil test is required and determines what fertiliser should be applied. This is essential especially if the paddock has a history of low fertility. Generally sow with approximately 200kg/ha of super phosphate if broadcast sowing, or drill sow with 80-100kg/ha DAP or MAP. Nitrogen can be applied three weeks after emergence if the crop appears pale in colour (approximately 50kg/ha of Urea). All forage crops respond well to nutrients especially nitrogen and potassium. Care must be taken not to apply too much nitrogen and sulphur to brassica crops as this can negatively impact on animal health. Weed and insect control Sowing a forage crop into poorly performing paddocks is a way to eradicate weed problems that you may have prior to sowing the paddock back to a permanent pasture. The best way to try and achieve this is to spray the old pasture with a total knockdown herbicide about three weeks prior to sowing your forage crop. Approximately a week after spraying, graze heavily with stock to remove as much trash as possible, this will help make the paddock easier to cultivate. From 2-3 weeks after spraying the paddock can be cultivated for seed bed preparation. The use of trifluralin as a pre-emergent herbicide in brassica and chicory can be a good option to control annual grasses and wireweed. We

recommend active monitoring of insects like red legged earthmite (RLEM). Kickstart treating your brassica seed will provide seedlings protection after germination from numerous biting and sucking insects. Sowing Brassicas are small seeded, so it is essential that they are drilled into a firm moist seed bed no deeper than 1-2 cm. Roll the paddock afterwards to achieve good seed to soil contact. If broadcasting the seed use higher sowing rates to compensate for lower germination. Ensure soil is moist and use a weldmesh to cover seed and then roll to get good seed to soil contact and to conserve moisture.
Management of your forage brassica crop Monitor paddocks for red legged earthmite (RLEM), as damage can decrease the quantity, quality and palatability of your forage crop. Look out for early signs of diamondback moth as numbers can build up as temperatures rise from late spring to early summer decimating crops before maturity. Once your crop is mature, introduce stock slowly. Do not introduce hungry stock to brassicas for the first time. Best results are achieved when animals become accustomed to the crop through short grazings at regular intervals. Strip grazing achieves the best results for both the crop and stock because there is less wastage.
For all your seed requirements,
Animal Health Good grazing management and monitoring limits grazing associated problems. However, the following animal health issues can occur. Nitrate Poisoning Nitrates can build up in any situation where environmental conditions promote plant growth but with limited photosynthetic activity. These include sudden temperature changes, frost, shading, overcast days, insect damage, some herbicides, some nutrient deficient soils, excessive use of nitrogen fertilisers and soils with deficiencies in sulphur, phosphorus, molybdenum or high acidity levels. The most common symptoms of nitrate toxicity are excessive salivation, rapid gasping breath, rapid pulse, pale blue or brown colouration of membranes, tremors and muscle weakness. Tips to avoid nitrate poisoning • Strip grazing for short periods • Dilute high nitrate feed with low nitrate feed source, eg. Hay, pasture, silage • Manage nitrate applications carefully to match plant requirements • Do not allow animals access to nitogen fertiliser, fertiliser storage areas or grazing on recently fertilised paddocks • Healthy animals are less likely to be affected than animals in poor condition Photosensitisation A condition seen in stock grazing immature or second growth brassicas. Affected animals can be seen with reddening and swelling of the skin commonly in the ears and face. The risk can minimized by delaying first grazing until crops have ripened. When grazing summer forage crops it is important to be aware of animal health issues. Source: SPS Spring forage guide 2020.

Report finds Western Highway conduct done “in good faith” By JessieAnne Gartlan
A TEN month investigation into the planning and delivery of the Western Highway duplication project has concluded that all parties have acted in good faith throughout the development process. The investigation began last year after the Ombudsman received several complaints about the conduct of Major Road Projects Victoria, the authority overseeing the development. The development has been in the works since 2008 and will duplicate the Western Highway between Beaufort and Stawell. It has been the subject of ongoing legal challenges and on-the-ground protests by multiple groups over the presence of possible cultural heritage sites. The report found that as at mid-February 2020, ongoing delays and modifications to the approved alignment are estimated to have cost the Victorian Government approximately $50-60 million. The Ombudsman’s investigation also looked at: • how the alignment of the section of highway between Beaufort and Ararat was determined;
• the extent to which development of the project made allowances for the protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage; • VicRoads’ decision to negotiate and enter into a Credit Trading Agreement with a Registered Aboriginal Party involved in assessing the project’s cultural heritage impacts; • how authorities responded to the cultural heritage concerns about the project, once raised. The investigation found that MRPV’s consultation with residents and landholders was “extensive”, as was consultation with “officially recognised” Aboriginal bodies and no wrongdoing had occurred. It did state that there was perhaps a need for broader change in the process of consulting with Traditional Custodians, saying: “It may be for Parliament to consider whether the processes under the Aboriginal Heritage Act should be made more permissive of consultation with individuals and bodies who have not been accorded Registered Aboriginal Party status; noting, at the same time, the need to respect the principles of Aboriginal self-determination underpinning this legislation.”
The report also acknowledged the ‘process of dispossession’ that had been in play since colonisation and the significance of the land on which the original highway was built and on which the project will continue to build. It also stated that although VicRoads had enacted a Cultural Heritage Management Plan, it had not developed a Cultural Heritage Consultation Plan. Such a plan was recommended but not mandatory under VicRoads’ Cultural Heritage Guidelines, the report said. It “could have assisted VicRoads to identify and consult with other Aboriginal parties with connections to and knowledge of the area.” Despite that, the Ombudsman’s report said such a plan still would not necessarily have identified further culturally relevant sites. The report stated a Credit Trading Agreement between MRPV and the former Registered Aboriginal Party Martang did not “unduly” influence Martang to approve the Cultural Heritage Management Plan but it was ill-advised and “arguably” created a conflict of interest. The Ombudsman found that the presence
of two possible birthing trees that have formed the basis of much of the protest was not reported by anyone until 2017, after the highway alignment had been confirmed, and that even then Indigenous groups didn’t all agree as to the trees’ status. These two trees are part of a total six trees and surrounding area that are currently the subject of an emergency protection application to the federal environment department. They are also part of an application to the federal environment minister to reconsider made applications in June 2018 for their protection. The outcomes of these two applications is expected to be released in the near future. The Ombudsman ultimately concluded that all parties had acted in good faith: “I can now observe that the motivations and actions of all the parties, no matter on which side of the fence they sit, appear to have been carried out in good faith, and resulted in significant compromise,” the report stated. “This is a major achievement for those who mobilised to speak up for Country, inconceivable when the original road was built in the nineteenth century.”
GRAMPIANS ARK TO Locals to feature on nursery banner TARGET FERAL CATS
• Feral cats are now being targeted by the Grampians Ark program. Photo: CONTRIBUTED By Chris Michaels
THE Grampians Ark program is marking its 25th year with an expansion into protecting wildlife from feral cats. The Grampians Ark program started in 1996 and is one of a number of ‘Arks’ in operation throughout Victoria that use baiting programs to control fox populations. Foxes kill a large number and variety of mammals, birds and reptiles, as well as preying on livestock on neighbouring properties. Large-scale baiting has proven an effective control method for foxes. The Grampians Ark program has also assisted in re-establishing a population of critically endangered brush-tailed rock wallabies. Feral cats are being detected more frequently on surveillance and monitoring cameras in many remote areas of the park. They are skilled hunters and a threat to the survival of many native species including small mammals, birds and reptiles. During the second half of the year, Parks Victoria is planning to bait areas that are known to be frequented by feral cats, with results monitored through a partnership
with Deakin University. The Grampians Ark is one of a number of conservation programs being delivered in the Grampians National Park this year. Other activities include aerial and onground operations to control populations of deer and feral goats; control of the invasive Sallow Wattle; and ecological burns designed to create a diversity of habitats for wildlife while contributing to management of bushfires and fuel loads. Acting Executive Director Environment and Science for Parks Victoria Phil Pegler said, “As the biodiversity in this area is constantly under threat from introduced animals like foxes, feral cats, deer and feral goats, programs like the Grampians Ark are critical.” Environment and Heritage team leader of Parks Victoria Mike Stevens said, “Our team and partners have demonstrated a longstanding commitment to protecting the native small mammals, birds and reptiles of the Grampians. “Data provided by Deakin University and a new citizen science bird monitoring program will help us understand how the wildlife responds to protections from both foxes and feral cats.”
• Manger Di Goss (left) and nursery worker Michelle Danisch (right) are both excited to see the new banner at the Wimmera Native Nursery By Caitlyn Quinn
WIMMERA Native Nursery is fostering a sense of community in Dimboola with plans to create a banner featuring photos contributed by locals. The banner will run along the nursery boundary on the Nhill Road entrance and while still in the planning stages, the banner could be 50 metres long. Tim Langdon, the sole director of the nursery, said he decided to develop the banner to “create a connection to the community”. Photographs from Dimboola residents have already been submitted and Mr Langdon encourages people to submit images that “highlight what they think we should showcase about Dimboola and the Wimmera”. The nursery works with a variety of community groups, from council and farmers to landscapers and gardeners and Mr Langdon hopes the banner will be an opportunity to celebrate that.
Operating since 2003, the nursery has always committed “to support local businesses” said Mr Langdon. He hopes the banner will act as a ‘shout out’ to locals and visitors that the Wimmera Native Nursery is “not just a plant nursery anymore, it is a regional environmental centre”. The nursery has been expanding its impact by working with local, regional and national environmental groups in the hope that they can continue to build a ‘Sustainability Hub’ for the community, said Mr Langdon. He hopes, “to build something fabulous for Dimboola and the people of the Wimmera in the years ahead.” Photos from across the Wimmera are welcome to be contributed to the creation of an attraction that Mr Langdon said will, “liven up that end of Dimboola”.

BALMORAL UPGRADE IMPROVES COMMUNITY OUTLOOK By JessieAnne Gartlan
WORKS on the upgraded community complex at Balmoral is giving the town something positive to look forward to amid new coronavirus restrictions. The $1.2M upgrade will replace aging club rooms and other facilities, better utilise the oval and seating, and be capable of holding up to 200 people for events, social and sporting events. “It’s going to be multi-use, from the Balmoral Show to the football and netball,” Balmoral and District Recreation Reserve committee president Mick Leeming said. “The changerooms had white ant and were well and truly outdated, and the social club rooms were tiny and probably nearly 60 or 70 years old, so they were in need of rebuilding. “The town will now have a facility that can cater to 200 people with a commercial kitchen, whereas before we couldn’t hold big events or large weddings. “It will see us well into the future.” Mr Leeming said the project kicked off after the committee received a federal government grant worth nearly $500,000 from Sport Australia in June 2019. Since then the committee has received $150,000 from the Southern Grampians Shire,
• Development is well underway at the Balmoral Recreation Reserve. Photo: CONTRIBUTED
$176, 877 from the state government, and further funds from community donations. The upgrade is now in its second stage, which involves refitting the kitchen, installing floor coverings, adding furniture, crockery and cutlery. The project was initially slated for
L.A.C JOHN ALEXANDER SCOTT ...from page 7 The unit was a platoon of 3 Battalion, RAR. The aircraft was forced to land to check the damage from heavy ground fire it received. It was badly damaged and was recovered for repair. Another gunship also supporting the same platoon stayed in the area for five hours until it needed to refuel and rearm at Nui Dat. It was joined by two other gunships which were scrambled from their base at Vung Tay. On board as one of the crew was LAC John Scott of Goroke, Victoria. Artillery and armoured personnel carriers also joined the action to support the platoon. The action was completed at dusk and gunships left the area. In total Scott flew 1100 missions, including flying in support of Operation Overload, which was a search and clear operation intended to destroy Viet Cong (VC) and North Vietnamese Army (NVA) units in the Suoi Nhac area, eight kilometers east north east of Long KhanhPhuoc Tuy provincial border. In nine days of operations, from 5th14th June 1971, the Australians suffered 32 casualties (including 12 killed in action), the loss of a helicopter and a number of vehicles. Six VC/NVA soldiers were killed and three captured, along with two weapons, ammunition, clothing, food and medical supplies. A number of bunkers were also destroyed. After his tour to Vietnam, Scott was posted to one operational support unit. He continued to serve in the RAAF until his retirement in 2000. 1962 to 1971 - SQUADRON REFORMATION & VIETNAM No. 9 Squadron was reformed in June 1962 and equipped with Iroquois UH-1B helicopters for RAAF search and rescue requirements. Army support soon became the primary role and the Squadron deployed to Vietnam with 8 aircraft in June 1966 to provide tactical air transport support for 1 Australian Task Force. It transported troops and resupplied units in the field with ammunition, water and food. When the Viet Cong threatened the base by
cutting road access they were able to resupply the base by air. They inserted and extracted, carried out patrols, evacuating wounded soldiers, spraying, dropping leaflets, and “olfactory reconnaissance” or “people sniffer” missions. In early months of its deployment there was tension between them and the army. Relations improved after the Battle of Long Tan when two of the Squadrons helicopters flew through heavy rain at treetop height to deliver ammunition to the Australian troops. Early in 1968, the Squadron re-equipped with 16 Iroquois UH-1H helicopters and developed comprehensive battlefield support roles – including an integral gunship capability – supporting Australia/NZ, Vietnamese and US forces. Aircraft losses and personnel casualties were low over 5.5 years of Vietnam War involvement reflecting very effective conduct of battlefield support operations. The squadron redeployed to Australia in December 1972. PERFORMANCE STATISTICS OF NO. 9 SQUADRON, RAAF VIETNAM THEATRE - JUN 1966 TO DEC 1971 [5.5 Years (2,000 Days) Including 2.5 Years (900 Days) of Gunship Operations] 1972 to 1989 - POST-VIETNAM TO DISBANDMENT Post-Vietnam, No. 9 Squadron supported extensive Army Survey Corps operations throughout the northern archipelago from Sumatra to New Britain and refined helicopter operating concepts for hostile air environments, night operations and support of fast-moving army elements. Operations also embraced assistance to civil authorities of Australia and other nations. From 1976 to 1986, personnel and aircraft were provided for United Nations and other multinational peacekeeping operations in the Middle East. The Squadron began re-equipping with Blackhawk helicopters in 1988 preceding transfer of aircraft assets to Australian Army Aviation and disbandment of the Squadron in February 1989.
completion by the start of July 2020 but government restrictions over the coronavirus has pushed the completion date out. Mr Leeming said this had removed the time pressure and has enabled the committee further time to complete the project. “We had envisaged the football training starting back there on July 1 but the pressure was taken off a bit, plus with COVID things have slowed down a bit with builders and getting people there, so our finishing date was put off a little bit,” Mr Leeming said. “So we've just worked with everybody to get it completed as soon as we can, in time for better times.” The next stage will involve landscaping the grounds. This will include putting in disabled access, retaining walls, steps and seating that enables audiences to see the oval from all
levels, including inside the function room. “The main function centre is on top of the hill and we’re trying to (enable) people to sit in the function room without the people outside blocking their view of the oval,” Mr Leeming said. He offered a “big thank you” to the community for its support, as well as in-kind and financial donations. “There’s a great committee behind it who are working hard, and lots of volunteers throughout the community who have put up their hands, plus the (Southern Grampians) Shire has been very supportive,” he said. “It’s all been local builders, plumbers and tradies too, so it’s created (local) employment, which is great. “It’s good to have a really positive project in the community in these times.”
Nationals MP Anne Webster calls for rethink on lockdown By Chris Michaels
THE Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster has written to Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, calling for a rethink on stage three regional restrictions. Dr Webster has called for a targeted approach rather than “broad brush strokes that unnecessarily threaten regional communities”. “Look at Colac - having that outbreak controlled is important,” Dr Webster said. “The Mallee is about a third of Victoria, with about 11 to 16 cases, and there is no community outbreak.” Ms Webster said while she acknowledged the situation in Melbourne warranted a stage four lockdown and tougher protocols, regional areas needed a more flexible approach. “We’re causing a lot of people a lot of pain and there’s no need to,” Dr Webster said. “If people continue to do what they’ve done before - social distancing, isolating, sanitizing - then we will continue to have low regional numbers.” Ms Webster said that if things did change and more cases were being found then a different approach again would be needed. “Should things change then we need to be adaptive,” Dr Webster said. “Melbourne is in a painful place. And we all need to adhere to the guidelines.
Melbourne should be shut down, and nobody should be coming in and out of Melbourne to regional areas at all. “While we love our tourists and visitors, no one should be coming here from Melbourne.” Dr Webster said rather than undermining the Liberal government has been “incredibly bi-partisan.” “While I do support the premier, my role is to represent regional Victoria.” Dr Webster said most of the councils in her electorate agreed with her and signed the letter to Dan Andrews, but not Horsham council. “Horsham was concerned about the behaviour in Melbourne and the numbers, but 10 out of 12 councils did agree with me.” Horsham Rural City Council mayor Mark Radford said after discussion with fellow councillors it was felt the council needed to follow the directions of Premier Andrews. “The Premier is getting advice from clever people in the health department and I think we need to be trusting of that advice and follow that advice,” Councillor Radford said. “The challenge of having different restrictions is where to draw the border if you are going to do anything separate. Horsham has had seven cases recently which is quite a lot for our population size.” “This is a nervous time for our businesses and community so I think it is important that we keep following the Premier’s directions.”

Motoring TOYOTA – SUPPORTING RURAL AID TO SUPPORT OUR FARMERS
RELIABLE vehicles are vitally important for Rural Aid’s counsellors to support farmers. With restrictions lifting in areas around the country, Rural Aid counsellors are back on the road talking to farmers at the farm gate. Rural Aid chief executive John Warlters said it is thanks to the vehicle support from Toyota Australia that our counsellors are able to chat face-to-face with Aussie farmers, providing an essential mental wellbeing service. One of our Rural Aid counsellors Gary Bentley, featured recently with Toyota Australia’s sponsorship of Seven’s Farmer Wants A Wife, said it was “vitally important
the vehicles are reliable because of the types of roads and distances travelled to support our farmers,” John Warlters said. “Being on-farm gives our counsellors the opportunity to meet and talk to the farmer in a familiar environment on their property, find out what the problem is and to help guide the farmer towards a solution. “Toyota has been very generous helping Rural Aid support thousands of farmers affected by natural disasters by facilitating our face-to-face counselling visits. “On behalf of Rural Aid, I would like to thank Toyota Australia for their support of our counsellors to be on the ground providing these essential services for our farmers. We know Toyota is all about supporting Aussies
Funding boost to drive heavy vehicle safety TWENTY-six projects aimed at saving lives and reducing road trauma will share in $5.9 million under Round 5 of the Australian Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative (HVSI). Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said innovative projects delivering safety benefits to the heavy vehicle industry and other road users would be funded. “Projects being funded this round target key areas such as developing or testing innovative new technologies, mental health support for drivers, educational campaigns and much-needed training and development,” the Deputy Prime Minister said. “This includes funding for the recently launched Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds foundation to ramp up their work to improve the mental health of people in the heavy vehicle sector nationwide, from drivers right through to warehouse and distribution centre staff. “Some of the technology-focused projects include testing next-generation base tyres and trialling new mobile cameras under the National Safety Camera Network initiative to allow real-time monitoring for critical safety concerns like load limit compliance and driver fatigue. “Funding will also go to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) and Transafe WA to deliver targeted educational campaigns, which keep safety front of mind for road users while addressing key issues like how to share the road safely with heavy vehicles. “The Australian Government takes road safety seriously, because no family should have to endure the utter devastation road crashes cause. “That is why it is absolutely vital we continue to invest in critical initiatives that improve road safety to save lives and reduce road trauma, including across our heavy vehicle sector.” Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport Scott Buchholz said this latest round of funding built on the $17.3
million already provided for 62 grants under the HVSI program over the past four years. “We’ve seen some great projects across the country deliver transformative results thanks to HVSI funding and I am proud to see this game-changing program continue,” Mr Buchholz said. “Finding innovative ways to make safety front of mind for road users is key to supporting the Safe System principles – a holistic approach to road safety that underpins the National Road Safety Strategy agreed by all governments. “HVSI projects also highlight how each and every one of us has a vital role to play in promoting road safety, particularly when it comes to our heavy vehicles, with many of the initiatives led by and created for industry groups and communities. “This is all part of the Australian Government’s continuing commitment to improve road safety to move towards zero fatalities and serious injuries on our roads.” NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto said HVSI provided an opportunity for the Regulator, who administers the program, to work with other safety-focused groups towards a common and critical goal. “The HVSI program encourages community, industry and government groups right across the country to collaborate to create workable solutions to make our roads safer,” Mr Petroccitto said. “It’s an important demonstration of how working together and harnessing a breadth of knowledge and industry experience can achieve real and lasting results for heavy vehicle safety. “While the HVSI has already delivered some great outcomes, we still have critical work to do to make our roads even safer, which is why I look forward to getting this next round of projects underway to keep driving the future of heavy vehicle safety right across the country.” For more information on the Australian Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative program, visit https://www.nhvr.gov.au/ about-us/heavy-vehicle-safety-initiative.

$180m wind farm second stage goes ahead
THE second stage of the Murra Warra Wind Farm will go ahead after the project received $180 million in financial backing. Construction has started on the project’s second stage which will comprise of 38 wind turbines 209MW. Despite the reduction in the number of turbines, more efficient turbines constructed by General Electric will keep its expected output of 441MW at peak capacity. A joint project between energy company RES and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group, they managed to secure financial commitments from equity investment company Partners Group. The project had been shovel-ready while awaiting financial backing, with landholders being notified that construction was going ahead. RES chief executive officer Matt Rebbeck said that project was a part of the transition to
affordable zero emission energy generation. Partners Group managing director Andrew Kwok said that investing in the project’s second stage was consistent with its strategy of building up Australia’s renewable energy infrastructure. “We continue to believe the Australian renewable energy sector is benefiting from a transformative trend, with a significant amount of coal-fired generation retirement expected in the coming decade,â€? he said. The project is expected to provide over 400 full-time equivalent jobs over its two year construction. A locally managed community fund for both projects is also expected to add an additional $4 million of investment into local projects over the project’s 30 year life span. The project is expected to be completed • The next stage of the Murra Wurra Wind Farm has been given to go ahead. This is expected by mid-2022. to provide over 400 full-time equivalent jobs over its two-year construction.

Restrictions, cold don’t stop racing started in the red as favourite and paid $1.70 for a $1.00 investment. George also had two second placings for the day with Plumber and NItro Roxy. Wartook trainer, Jeff Guy, turned a recent run of placings into a win when Fugacious took out race nine, leading all the way in a scorching 23.20 seconds over the 410m. The win goes with five minors placings and the racing caper may now have clicked for the daughter of Fernando Bale. Nitro Georgie made it back to back wins at the Horsham course with a powerhouse effort in race ten.

Chops Malone took his career earnings to almost $40,000 from his 21 wins and 26 placings from his 73 starts. All three racing codes breathed a sigh of relief when Premier Daniel Andrews announced that racing would continue on Monday. In no small part it is due to the great work all three codes have done in being able to manage the risks of Covid 19, and mandate controls often well before they were imposed on the general public.

410m. Gaudi Chaudi had been showing a bit of ability in a couple of recent trials and franked that with an all the way win in 23.49 seconds, a great time for a young greyhound. Trackwatcher hadn’t missed the trials either with Gaudi Chaudi only paying $3.70 for the win on the TAB. Garry George continued his rich vein of form in race two when Jaggered won his second race, also over the 410m and in almost identical time to Gaudi Chaudi in the first race. Jaggered
THE weekly Horsham Greyhound club meets will be free to continue as the wider racing industry, including both horses and greyhounds, have been granted an exemption from the Stage Three COVID-19 restrictions now in place across the state. It was confirmed during the week that both thoroughbred and greyhound racing was free to continue, ensuring that meet officials and clubs are adhering to the respective advice. The racing industry has been one of few industries that has been allowed to function during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is set to continue that way. Horsham Greyhound Racing Club manager Justin Brilliant said that he is glad racing can
continue, keeping dozens of casual staff in employ. “While we were quietly confident that the greyhounds could continue to race, it was relieving to hear the confirmation from the state government,” Brilliant said. “In these times it’s important to keep our staff employed and the industry afloat. “More importantly with the exemption we can continue our important responsibility of maintaining our animal welfare, as this would be more of a challenge if we weren’t able to continue. “In terms of our security we have gone above and beyond the demands handed down to us from various governing bodies, and we will keep the welfare of everyone involved a top priority.”

Socially distanced Motocross Riding Day Ride Park Australia Day at Dooen Recreation Reserve which started at 10am and wrapped up in the afternoon at 3.30pm. Competition was put to the side to enjoy the ride as a social event. “Successful day and good weather,” said Horsham Motocross Club president, Cory Watts. “There were a lot of rules in place that we had to follow but we were lucky enough to still be able to keep going.” Mr Watts described a lot of “manhours” put into researching the
restrictions to ensure a safe event for everyone involved. He said it may be one of their last events for a while as “everyone’s starting to get a bit more quiet and keep to themselves which is fair enough” with a few COVID-19 cases popping up in the area. “It’s good and bad in a way,” he said. “Everyone wants to go out and have a ride which is a pity that you can’t, but if everyone does the right thing it will be over pretty quickly.”
By Horsham Racing Pigeon Club
race had been won. The leading pigeon owned by the McPhee family of five, comprising Mark, Brydon, Taz, Khaia and Dakodyn, won by 34 seconds from John Muszkieta’s leading pigeon. Their win was not unexpected given their very consistent start to the 2020 race season. In marked contrast to last week’s very slow race from Tempy, a 160 kilometre flight, the leading pigeons averaged 97kms an hour from Mildura, as opposed to the 36kms and hour velocity from Tempy. Why the discrepancy? Whilst we never can be certain, apart from more helpful weather conditions, another most likely factor being no major peregrine falcon attacks occurred.

Assembly to continue club support By Connor McKenzie
THE Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly will continue to be one of the most important support services for sporting clubs and associations across the region as the Wimmera goes back into stage three lockdown. The assembly is preparing another collection of webinar sessions for the region designed to help clubs and associations survive following the success of the first round of sessions. That first round helped over 30 clubs and associations manage state government stimulus packages. WRSA executive officer David Berry said that a report following the original webinars hosted by the assembly demonstrated that clubs and associations needed ongoing guidance. “After our original rounds of webinars, the feedback we received was positive, however there are still some areas clubs and associations needing assistance,” Berry said. “We plan to address these talking points over the next eight weeks, with one seminar being held each fortnight. “Industry professionals will attend the webinars, so this type of information will be invaluable to all participants.” On the agenda will be strategic planning, financial management, revenue diversification and volunteer support. Berry said he anticipated further stimulus packages on the horizon in light of the lockdown. “It’s reasonable to think that the state government will introduce another package of sorts to incentivise and re-ignite the sporting industry in regional Victoria,” he said. “Hopefully by the end of
August, start of September period we might get to see outlines of what this may look like. “My vision is that any new stimulus packages will aim to help clubs and associations engage with their members and attract new members to their club, which will be different to the original packages already released to clubs which was essentially to help them ‘keep the lights on’. “This type of assistance will be vital to the sporting industry getting on its feet again.” Berry said it may also be beneficial for summer sporting clubs and organisations to consider plans for a later start to their seasons. “In my view, given the timeline we have ahead of us, it might be a good thing for summer clubs to consider their planned starts to their season,” Berry said. “While we can never know what is going to happen in the coming weeks ahead, I think it’s important these organisations begin to have some discussions. “If we are looking from today, the lockdown period may not end until mid September, and this is knocking on the door of the planned starts to many summer organisations. “Even by observing what occurred during the early winter months and the pathway duration from sports training resumption to full competition, this process can take anywhere from four to six weeks. “We will continue to support these clubs and give advice, but it’s better to be on the front foot so I would be discussing this internally with clubs. “Our first webinar will be on Monday evening. We will be joined by professional guest Kat Colbert, who will walk through the importance of strategic
planning. “We encourage all Wimmera based clubs and associations who
have not yet registered to do so.” Sporting clubs and organisations who have not
Golfers make the most of sunny conditions GOLFERS and bowlers alike got out to enjoy a rare sunny weekend before stage three restrictions came back in. While some sports, such as greyhound racing, will be able to continue under the lockdown, golfers will have to hang up their hats for a while at least. • Brian White stays calm and collected as he watches his ball at the Horsham Golf Club at the weekend.
