TOURISM BUSINESSES ‘CRIPPLED’ By Chris Michaels

TOURISM operators in the Wimmera who have previously dealt with a drop in tourist numbers due to coronavirus restrictions, fear their businesses will not survive the latest round of restrictions imposed by the Victorian Government. On Tuesday Premier Daniel Andrews announced the return to stage three restrictions for metropolitan Melbourne as well as Mitchell Shire Council for the next six weeks. The rest of Victoria has not been

locked down. The reinstated restrictions follow a spike in active cases across the state, with 164 new cases as of Monday July 7 and a total of 2824 cases. Thirty-ﬁve people are in hospital, including nine patients in intensive care. A total of 22 people have died. The Department of Health and Human Services stated that of the total 2824 cases, there have been 2,469 in metropolitan Melbourne and 261 in regional Victoria. Several cases remain under investigation. Pat Crute, owner of the Giant

Koala in Dadswells Bridge said “it’s going to be very hard on us.” “We already shut down for two months earlier in the year and since opening things have been very slow,” Ms Crute said. Ms Crute said they would normally get people coming through from South Australia and some from Melbourne at this time of year but not now. “We’ve had a few people so far over the holidays but not the normal numbers,” she said. “We would usually get football crowds coming through but there

haven’t been any.” Halls Gap Zoo owner Greg Culell said the latest round of restrictions would “cripple” them. “It is going to devastate us,” Mr Culell said. “If only they had managed the first outbreak. You can’t keep locking things down because of their stuff ups.” “It is blithering incompetence from the government. Things were finally starting to pick up again after we were affected by the fires and then coronavirus,” Mr Culell said. Mr Culell said he already lost

over $350,000 at Easter and had debts of over $400,000. “This will devastate regional tourism.” The Victorian Tourism Industry Council (VTIC) said the new restrictions will be a crushing blow to an industry already on its knees. VTIC chief executive Felicia Mariani said, “while we expected to see some sweeping action taken in greater Melbourne this action will be a seismic shock to an industry that has already been crippled under the weight of restrictions across the state.”

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The Victorian Auditor General’s recent report into VicRoads’ regional road barriers project is a damning indictment of the Andrews Government’s waste of hard-earned taxpayer dollars. The report revealed that of the 27 wire rope barrier projects, 12 were completed over budget, leading to a whopping $100 million cost blowout on a $550 million programme. In order to justify these projects the effectiveness of wire rope barriers in improving road safety was greatly exaggerated by VicRoads (now the Department of Transport). It stated serious casualties were reduced by 85 per cent on roads with wire rope barriers, however, the report found ‘VicRoads does not have strong evidence to support this

statement’. The report further concluded that VicRoads had ‘failed to properly maintain and monitor the barriers it installed, which increases the risk they will not perform as intended’. According to VicRoads themselves, inadequate maintenance can lead to the barriers being 34 per cent less effective. Therefore, not only were the barriers vastly more expensive than budgeted, they are also less safe. I was also unsurprised to note that VicRoads has a total disregard for the views of local people. The report found “VicRoads had not finalised stakeholder communication and engagement plans for any of the top 20 roads before it started construction”. Earlier this year, I tabled in Parliament a petition of 4300 signatures against the installation of wire rope

barriers on the Princes Highway between Panmure and Allansford, so I understand community anger towards these projects. This report from the Auditor General is indicative of the Andrews Labor government’s willingness to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars without proper oversight. We know regional road users disproportionately make up Victoria’s road toll, which is why I look forward to sitting on the upcoming Parliamentary Road Toll Inquiry and contributing to its important work. Member for Western Victoria Bev McArthur Dear editor, I am writing to express my unwavering support for our CFA as it grapples with the divisive and disrespectful changes the Andrews Labor Government has enforced on Victoria’s fire services. Like so many in the CFA and the wider community, I am gutted by the way Labor has treated staff and volunteers and forced through disastrous legislation that undermines the CFA’s core functions. That is why The Nationals have pledged

have your say

that if we are elected to government in 2022, we will legislate to rebuild and restore the Country Fire Authority as an independent, volunteer-based autonomous fire service that can select, recruit and manage its own staff. If The Nationals are elected to government, CFA staff will wear the CFA uniform, and the authority’s board will be required to sign up to the Volunteers’ Charter, which was legislated in 2012. The charter was designed to protect the rights of volunteers, but the board is not bound by it. This has meant Labor can and has sacked anyone who got in their way. This is completely immoral. As part of our commitment, The Nationals will also establish a Volunteer Commissioner to independently hear and arbitrate on disputes. We want the men and women who selflessly serve our communities through the CFA to know that we value them and their work. They deserve to be treated with the utmost respect, and The Nationals will do just that. Thank you for your support and advocacy for the CFA and the crucial role it plays in keeping our people and communities safe. Yours sincerely, Member for Lowan, Emma Kealy

Ute fire possibly related to thefts By James Thomas

WARRACK Automotive Electrical was broken into last week and it is suspected that it is linked to a Nissan Navara utility fire along Carron Road in Boolite. Detective Senior Constable Mal Wineburg said that the burglary occurred sometime between Thursday and Friday last week. The items stolen included Engel Fridges and UHF radios. Police investigators believe that the theft is linked to a ute fire along Carron Road off Borung Highway. Three fire brigades were called out around 6am on Friday to extinguish the white Nissan Navara duel cab utility. The vehicle was stolen from Project

Platypus, a non-for-profit community group, at its office located on Ararat Road sometime last Thursday or Friday. It is believed by investigators that the vehicle was deliberately lit. Detective Senior Constable Wineburg said that while there was no direct evidence linking the fire and burglary, it was believed to be possibly linked. “If there any witnesses or persons who have seen (the white Nissan Navara utility) and recorded on their dash cam, could they please contact Crime Stoppers or the Northern Grampians Criminal Investigation Unit,” he said. Crime Stoppers Victoria can be contacted on 1800 333 000 or the Criminal Investigation Unit on (03) 5355 1500.

STOLEN TELEHANDER FOUND IN DIMBOOLA By Jessica Taylor

POLICE charged a 42 year old and 66 year old male for the theft of a yellow Telehandler on June 29. The two men were ordered to appear at Horsham Magistrates Court on Monday for the theft which occurred around midday from a Cannum property on the Blue Ribbon Road. The Telehandler was valued at $140,000. Northern Grampians Criminal Investigation Unit Detective Senior Constable Mal Wineberg

said the telehandler was found on Racecourse road, Dimboola on Friday afternoon at about 5pm. Det S/C Wineberg said police believe the Telehandler was driven for some distance before potentially being loaded onto a transport of some sort. “We ask anyone with further information and in particular may have seen it being transported or have dash cam footage to contact CrimeStoppers or Northern Grampians Criminal Investigation Unit,” Det S/C Wineberg said.

Improved accessibility for Aquatic centre

• ACCESS: Neville McIntyre says the revamped ramp will encourage more people with mobility restraints to access the pool. Photo: JESSIEANNE GARTLAN By JessieAnne Gartlan

HORSHAM residents of all abilities will have improved access to the Aquatic Centre after Horsham Rural City Council announced it would construct a new access ramp. The project comes as the centre

reopened its doors to the public on July 1 amid the easing of coronavirus restrictions. The $75,000 project will see the old ramp replaced with one that has no sharp turns, allowing increased accessibility. The current ramp has two sharp turns that are difficult to navigate

for some with mobility aids. The project also includes new parking bays for mobility scooters and some landscaping. Horsham Council infrastructure director John Martin said he expects the works to be completed by the end of August. “During the construction period

there should be minimal disruption for users to the aquatic centre, however we do ask that people use caution when entering and exiting the building,” he said. Leisure centre manager Sam Winter said it will promote more physical activity in the community for those members who have been unable to access the centre due to mobility issues. “The ramp is going to be really beneficial to the Horsham community,” she said. “This one is going to be really easy to use. Just out the front there will be a parking area for everyone to leave their scooters. “They’ll be able to bring them right up to the front door, which at the moment they can’t, so those people who can’t use the centre right now due to access will be able to come in.” Horsham Aquatic Centre committee member Neville McIntyre said the winter months had been difficult for residents with “aches and pains” or limited mobility without access to the pools, and welcomed the ramp works and the resumption of services. “We have people come here in wheelchairs and walking frames, but in the pool they turn into tadpoles and off they go,” he said. “Anyone with geriatric complaints seem to get their legs and hips back in the water and away they go. “Now (with the new ramp) you can have better access and it will

encourage more people to use the pool.” Separately, the council will also replace the rubber flooring around both swimming pools in midAugust. The current flooring is about 15 years old, the council said. The indoor pool will be closed for about three weeks while the flooring is replaced. Meanwhile, the centre is enforcing strict hygiene and social distancing now that services have reopened. “The YMCA has put in place a range of COVID Safe measures to ensure the safety of members and staff, including sneeze screens, social distancing floor markings, hand sanitiser stations, on-site thermometers, increased cleaning and hygiene signage,” chief executive Sunil Bhalla said. “All staff have received COVID Safe training.” Under current Victorian restrictions aquatic centres can host 20 people per space, with no restrictions on the number of people allowed in a swimming lane. Services that have reopened as of 1 July, 2020: Aquatics space (25m pool and leisure pool) Gym access Group fitness classes Revised operating hours: Monday - Friday (6am – 12noon and 3pm – 7pm) Saturday (8am – 12noon) Sunday - Closed

Mayor: Overland can bring opportunities

Funding secured to continue passenger rail service between Melbourne and Adelaide Horsham Rural City Council Mayor Mark Radford has thanked Wimmera people who rallied to save the Overland passenger train. The Victorian Government this week announced funding to continue the iconic service between Melbourne and Adelaide, the only passenger train that services Western Victoria. Cr Radford has been the Wimmera’s leader in the campaign to keep it running. “The funding commitment for three years, to keep the Overland Passenger train running, by the Victorian Government is a good news story for communities along the route,” Cr Radford said.

“Council for the

has been advocating service since 2018.

However it is not operating while the South Australian border is closed.

“Our local MPs, Emma Kealy and Dr Anne Webster have also supported the cause.

Cr Radford said more could be done to explore how the train could benefit the region.

“I would like to express my appreciation to our neighbouring Councils and community members who took the time to write letters of support to the decision makers.

“Wimmera communities have a great opportunity to get the most out of the service by thinking outside the square in relation to new tourism opportunities,” he said.

“Council also appreciates the support we received from the former Public Transport Minister Melissa Horne,” he said.

“For example, we could create three and four night self-drive holidays with a local hire car and local accommodation which could harmonise with the Overland timetable.

The service travels to Melbourne on Mondays and Fridays and from Melbourne on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

“It is a good service, with a long history. When restrictions ease, I would encourage

Wimmera residents to check it out and take a trip to Melbourne or Adelaide on the Overland,” Cr Radford said. The twice-weekly service stops at Murray Bridge, Bordertown, Nhill, Dimboola, Horsham, Stawell, Ararat and Geelong’s North Shore. The Overland was put in jeopardy after the South Australian Government’s decision to stop funding the service, which is used by 20,000 people each year. The service first ran as the Adelaide Express in 1887, before becoming the Overland in 1926. It is now operated by private tourist experience operator Journey Beyond Rail.

Wimmera Veterans centre to gets funding boost

• Dianne Bolwell and Laura-Jean Rothery of the Wimmera Veterans Centre have welcomed much needed funding for their work supporting local veterans. By Chris Michaels

THE Wimmera Veterans Centre has received a funding boost of almost $13,000 as part of the government’s Building

Excellence in Support and Training (BEST) grants program. The centre’s compensation advocate Laura-Jean Rothery welcomed the funding and said the money would make an enormous

YOUNG WIMMERA VETERANS LEFT OUT By JessieAnne Gartlan

WIMMERA veterans under 40 face isolation and a lack of service provision compared to those in the cities, say Wimmera Veterans Centre advocates. Wimmera Veterans Centre is an advocacy group situated next to the Horsham RSL that assists veterans navigate the assistance available to them, as well as helping them find connections within the community. Laura-Jean Rothery and Dianne Bolwell both work part-time to support the 30 to 40 clients they currently have. Ms Bolwell said dwindling funding availability and the changing nature of recruitment to the forces meant younger veterans in particular were being left with insufficient health support and financial assistance. “With Vietnam it was a national service and it was done by pools from the towns, so it was a group, not just one or two, that went,” she said. “Whereas now these fellows might be just one or two going (from their town). “These fellas, a lot of them are veterans that have been over to Afghanistan, Cambodia and Iraq don’t have that support. “They have nobody to talk to because they haven’t got a community group. One of them will be in Horsham, another in Nhill, one in Warracknabeal, one in Brim and one in Kaniva.” Ms Bolwell said she was aware of about 20 in the region but believed the actual number was higher. Ms Rothery said she applied for federal

funding specifically for these younger veterans in the hope it would fund community activities and local outings that would attract and bring together isolated veterans. “We really wanted to connect the forties and under who don’t have a community group within their service people,” she said. “My ideal would be that it cost them nothing just to be involved. They can come because they want to, not whether they can afford it or not - especially for families with kids. “We’re just trying to create a bridge between families.” The application was rejected at the start of the year. On top of a lack of funding, a city-centric focus was another hurdle for anyone living regionally, Ms Rothery said. “When there are projects like this they are often put together in the city, so even if we had the availability to get them there, it’s a cost, it’s a day in excess before the event itself, so we want to get things happening here,” she said. The centre wanted to utilise the businesses locally instead of organising trips outside of the region. “There are plenty of things we can put together here,” Ms Rothery said. “We would support the cinema and do birthday vouchers with Horsham businesses. “We want to make a really clear path to like-minded people.” A lack of access to mental health services was another barrier for young Wimmera veterans.

difference to the centre. “I’m so pleased because getting these government grants means we can continue to do our job here,” Ms Rothery said. “That money will mean wages, funding for the office and running costs.”

The centre currently has between 20 to 30 cases, and aims to increase that number to the mid-30s. The centre has been operating since 2000, and has helped almost 500 veterans in that time. Ms Rothery said the funding boost can also now go towards some new initiatives the centre wants to implement. “We would like to do some outreach programs and want to be able to run small events to help get more people involved and aware of what we do here,” she said. “Because the less clients we actually see the less funding we get.” Ms Rothery said that dealing with the Department of Veterans Affairs can be a lengthy and confusing process and one that is daunting without the guidance and support the centre provides. “Logistically dealing with the Veterans Affairs can be a nightmare and the funding helps us to help those clients access forms, filling them out and accessing information - it can take hours,” she said. “Us helping them helps their own well-being and puts their minds at ease.” Member for Mallee Anne Webster said veterans groups play a crucial role in supporting the health and welfare of the veteran community. “The BEST grants program provides these groups with an opportunity to expand on their services to further support veterans and their families,” Ms Webster said.

times and was a finalist in 2019. Dimboola took out the top prize in 2018. Horsham’s Tidy Towns Committee chairperson Gillian Vanderwaal said Tidy Towns was all about recognising the unsung heroes that do so much for our towns. “In Horsham we have an amazing community and fantastic volunteers. The work they do is something we should all be proud of,” she said. “They are not looking for accolades.

Keep our Jobs Local

Tidy Towns awards give us the opportunity to say ‘we’re really proud of what you’re doing and we’ve put you up for a Keep Victoria Beautiful award’.” The committee nominates projects for awards under the various categories, including community, heritage and culture, and social well-being. In previous years the judges travelled around the state to judge the projects in person. However, the coronavirus pandemic has meant judging has taken place via video link this year. “It was quite a challenge this year for the judges but I believe it went well,” Ms Vanderwaal said. Despite the restrictions, Ms Vanderwaal said the competition had again helped highlight the innovation and creativity of Wimmera communities. “It gives us the opportunity to say to everyone else ‘look at what happens in Horsham, look at how wonderful our place is’,” she said. “So with the awards, other towns can see some of the projects that are going on here and the wonderful volunteer hours that are being put in. “It promotes Horsham further afield, and I think that’s something that’s often forgotten - it’s about promoting where we live and our community, and being proud of where we live. “I do believe that it puts us on the map.” Dimboola Boat and Water Ski Club president Darren Bone said the club’s spot on the finalist list was confirmation it was headed in the right direction. The Peter Taylor Memorial Barefoot Night Jump Event was named a finalist under the social well-being category. It had to be postponed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic but Mr Bone said it normally attracted huge numbers of people to Dimboola to enjoy the sport and the river more generally. “It was heartbreaking for me personally,” he said. Mr Bone said the event was one of the biggest barefoot jump events in Australia and attracted huge numbers to Dimboola. More broadly, Mr Bone said the club undertook several projects that work towards protecting the river and opening it for all users. “It’s true testimony to what we’re

doing as a ski club as a group of people looking after the river and keeping it beautiful to make it inviting for all users, not just us. “We just went out to the ski club area and tidied it all up, mowed it all for the general public to come and use it and use the barbecue free of charge. “Going back a year or two ago we did a relentless reed transplanting program to protect all the banks along the river as much as we could.” Mr Bone said the ski club was often blamed for damaging the river environment. “It’s not the boats - it’s usually the river height and a massive flow that runs down and creates more erosion than 20 years of boats,” he said. “We’re big on really looking after the area and transplanting the reeds and working with the (Wimmera) CMA.” Project finalists: COMMUNITY Lynton Brown, Mal Schier and Dave McMaster / Horsham Town Hall - 60 Years of Wimmera Rock Dimboola Memorial Secondary College Lord Memorial Garden Horsham Rural City Council Energising Communities Wimmera Catchment HRCC, Management Authority and the Wimmera River Improvement Committee Wimmera River Protection HERITAGE AND CULTURE Dimboola Victorian Railway Institute - Restoring fencing along the street Horsham Rotary/Horsham Rural City Council - May and Millar Wagon Dimboola RSL - War memorial commemorative sign INDIGENOUS CULTURE Goolum Goolum Aboriginal CoOperative - Goolum Goolum NAIDOC Art Exhibition 2019 Horsham Rural City Council Horsham Rural City Council Innovate Reconciliation Plan 2018-2020 WASTE Dimboola Lions Club Recycle for sustainability SOCIAL WELL-BEING Dimboola Boat and Water Ski Club Peter Taylor Memorial Barefoot Night Jump Event Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary YOUNG LEGENDS Horsham Agricultural Society

Grampians climbing businesses voice concerns By Chris Michaels

LOCAL climbing businesses in the Grampians are concerned for their viability, with the introduction of Parks Victoria’s new code of conduct for climbing in the Summerday Valley region of the Grampians causing confusion across the industry. A new agreement for tour groups operating at Summerday Valley in the national park aims to better protect Aboriginal cultural heritage from damage caused by people climbing and abseiling the famous landmark. But some climbing business owners are concerned their access to places like Summerday Valley will be restricted or stopped based on misinformation about past or future damage to culturally significant rock art. Tori Dunn, who runs Grampians Mountain Adventure Company said signing the new code of conduct would to her be an admission that past damage had occurred, which she denied. “I started my business in 2000 and have helped to build the business and the climbing industry,” Ms Dunn said. “We built the industry in Summerday Valley. It is the best beginner area for a rock climber to learn. There are lots of cliff aspects - there is no site as good in the Grampians.” “The assertion is that my climbing and business harms Aboriginal heritage. I don’t believe that is a fair assertion.” Ms Dunn said. “There is no evidence of damage in Summerday Valley.” Ms Dunn claimed Parks Victoria was shifting some responsibility onto climbers and their businesses in an attempt to ward off any future legal action if damage occurs. “Parks Victoria can be sued by Aboriginal organisations with fines of up to $1.6M. Parks Victoria wants to offload some of the responsibility,” Ms Dunn said. For Hanging Out owner Daniel Earl the impasse between Parks Victoria and business owners comes back to “respect and understanding.” “The notion of harm is not for us to decide,” Mr Earl said. “I have not been made aware of any harm in the Summerday Valley area due to the operations in the area. Harm needs to be determined by the people that feel it.” Discussions are set to continue with Mr Earl welcoming the move. “Any discussions I’ve had so far have not been in a formal manner,” Mr Earl said. “There are people in Parks Victoria who talk but only say what they want you to hear.” “These changes impact how we can run our sessions, and how we run our business.” Barengi Gadjin Land Council were contacted for comment but had not responded before going to print.

Council looks to decommission landfill By James Thomas

YARRIAMBIACK Shire Council will be looking to decommission Warracknabeal’s landfill over the coming months. Council is liasing with the Victorian Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to cap the landfill. Landfill capping is meant to prevent the infiltration and leakage of water into soil and groundwater. Council’s Assets Manager Ram Upadhyaya said that there was a lengthy process in landfill decommissioning. “EPA has some strict guidelines to prevent any future environment issues i.e. ground water contamination,” he said. “To ensure that EPA guidelines are met, I am seeking quotes from experienced consultants for cap design. “This involves selection of

appropriate capping material, extensive testing and control measures during construction, and post construction monitoring.” Mr Updahyaya said that there was a very low risk of groundwater contamination in very low rainfall areas. Mr Updahyaya said that the EPA was happy with the arrangements and tidiness of the Warracknabeal transfer station and landfill, which allowed for the design and approval phase. “Approved design will guide us on the type of material for capping and testing requirement,” he said. “After approval from EPA on proposed cap design, Council will start procurement process for construction works. “If everything goes per plan, I am expecting this project to be completed in the next six months.”

HORSHAM MAYOR:

OVERLAND BRINGS OPPORTUNITIES

• ON TRACK: Horsham Rural City Council has thanked those who advocated for the Overland. By Horsham Rural City Council while the South Australian border is closed.

HORSHAM Rural City Council mayor Mark Radford has thanked Wimmera people who rallied to save the Overland passenger train. The Victorian Government this week announced funding to continue the iconic service between Melbourne and Adelaide, the only passenger train that services Western Victoria. “The funding commitment for three years, to keep the Overland Passenger train running, by the Victorian Government is a good news story for communities along the route,” Cr Radford said. “Council has been advocating for the service since 2018. Our local MPs, Emma Kealy and Dr Anne Webster have also supported the cause. “I would like to express my appreciation to our neighbouring Councils and community members who took the time to write letters of support to the decision makers. “Council also appreciates the support we received from the former Public Transport Minister Melissa Horne.” The service travels to Melbourne on Mondays and Fridays and from Melbourne on Tuesdays and Saturdays. However it is not operating

Cr Radford said more could be done to explore how the train could benefit the region. “Wimmera communities have a great opportunity to get the most out of the service by thinking outside the square in relation to new tourism opportunities,” he said. “For example, we could create three and four night self-drive holidays with a local hire car and local accommodation which could harmonise with the Overland timetable. “It is a good service, with a long history. When restrictions ease, I would encourage Wimmera residents to check it out and take a trip to Melbourne or Adelaide on the Overland,” Cr Radford said. The twice-weekly service stops at Murray Bridge, Bordertown, Nhill, Dimboola, Horsham, Stawell, Ararat and Geelong’s North Shore. The Overland was put in jeopardy after the South Australian Government’s decision to stop funding the service, which is used by 20,000 people each year. The service first ran as the Adelaide Express in 1887, before becoming the Overland in 1926. It is now operated by private tourist experience operator Journey Beyond Rail.

BARRY’S CORNER

Barry Clugston resides just west of Stawell and has had a long career as chair of GWMWater, firefighter, and farmer. He was a vocal advocate for the Wimmera Mallee pipeline, presented a wildlife program on ABC radio in western Victoria for 20 years and in 2012 was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia.

Firewood

Stealing firewood is rife in our district and we

should train some agency staff to take some action. Since the removal of firewood fee was abandoned a few years ago, the situation has grown out of hand and authorities seem powerless to get involved and complain about lack of resources, staff and the ability to tackle the issue Nobody minds that much if a few sticks get picked up by those down on their luck. However there has been an enormous amount of firewood going off to the metros for sale. Often certain areas are designated for firewood to be collected in drier times of the year for local consumption. Usually these permits to collect only allow one or two tonnes at a time, which is about a four by six trailer load each. Not the truckloads going out of

this district I have raised the solution to this in a column a few weeks ago. That is to grow plantations on freehold land, it should be ready for harvesting and use at your place in no time at all. Firewood could be just another crop. One of the dilemmas with unmanaged and illegal removal of firewood is the disruption and destruction of habitat for a lot of wildlife. This is a serious issue. And national parks and crown forest reserves are deliberately established to protect those natural species. Looking after our reserves is hard enough without unlicensed people making a living from the habitat.

to our loyal community The demand from the broader Wimmera community to return a local community newspaper was overwhelming back in May. With a family history of publishing newspapers in the Wimmera dating back to the 1890’s our family and the team clearly heard this call and responded with the launch of The Horsham Times. Despite having a long and experienced background in the newspaper industry over many generations, it has been an amazing journey, from developing the seed of the idea of a new newspaper for the region, to meet that demand of both a printed and online newspaper for Horsham and the Wimmera. Of course this could never have happened without the encouragement and support of our community. With your support of buying The Horsham Times, asking your local newsagent (who have all been most encouraging for us to launch the newspaper) to organise subscriptions, our valued advertisers and equally importantly those people who have offered input through their ideas and contributions, have been integral in bringing the paper to where it is today in such a short time. Your support has enabled us to build a valuable and skilled local team, who will shortly operate from our soon to be announced new office site, in central Horsham, investing back into the community. Every time you buy a copy of The Horsham Times you are investing in the future of your community, creating jobs for local people producing an independently owned, local newspaper. We unashamedly take pride in reporting the news of the day that matters to you within our region, without fear or favour but with a positive approach, and to the best of our ability we aim to produce a high quality product both in content and print quality. There is little doubt we have all been living through unprecedented times, perhaps a time of crisis, when the community has needed good local up to date news. We hope through the pages of The Horsham Times we have met and will continue to meet the community’s needs. I believe our team have been producing just that, from our first issue at the end of May, but we won’t rest on our laurels. We have certainly appreciated and will continue to appreciate all input from the community on how we can continue to improve and grow The Horsham Times for our readers. We have responded to community demand to produce a locally owned newspaper in a time of crisis but this doesn’t mean this project has just been for the short term. Our family has invested in The Horsham Times with a view to the long term success of the paper, making a commitment both to the community and our team of valued staff. We are here to stay, dedicated to our mission to provide a quality newspaper for generations to come, as did our forebears. The Horsham Times is our newspaper, as we’re part of the community too. From our family to yours, a sincere thank you for your amazing support and encouragement, it is appreciated. The Horsham Times Team

Energy saving scheme given bad reputation DISTRICT resident Dean Campbell couldn’t believe his eyes when he spotted several boxes containing a large quantity of light bulbs and shower heads, dumped on the side of and ﬂoating in the Wimmera River near the weir in Dimboola. He has surmised that the contents of the boxes may have been items that had been replaced in houses as part of an energy efﬁciency program. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is urging the state government to immediately suspend its door-to-door LED lighting replacement scheme, amid safety concerns from the transmission of COVID-19 and the illegal

dumping of light globes in the region. Many Lowan residents have contacted Ms Kealy, concerned that door-to-door salespeople purporting to be part of the government’s Victorian Energy Upgrades program are still visiting homes in the region during the coronavirus pandemic. Over the weekend, residents’ concerns turned to fury when boxes of old light globes were found dumped at the Wimmera River in Dimboola and on a roadside on the outskirts of Nhill. Ms Kealy has reported the dumping to the Environment Protection Authority. She said the state government must now

3D/4D ULTRASOUND SERVICE FOR YARRIAMBIACK

• Rubbish dumped along the Wimmera River.

• QUALITY: Alison Fernandez, RNH Administration Team leader and Steve Myob, Sonographer and Radiographer are able to offer appointments twice a week in Warracknabeal.

RURAL Northwest Health is able to provide quality ultrasound services for the Yarriambiack community. This is able to save residents hours of travel as a service that is able to be provided locally in Warracknabeal rather than in larger centres. Rural Northwest Health marketing and communications manager Tammy McDonald said they have a 3D/4D Ultrasound machine capable of capturing detailed images. “Pregnant women constantly tell us they are enjoying the clear image they receive of their baby,” Ms McDonald said. “With 3D ultrasound, a series of thin 2D slices is digitally reconstructed to give more life-like images. “With 4D ultrasound, the added dimension is time, so that the 3D images

appear to be moving in real time. “The 3D/4D image usually appears a golden colour on the ultrasound screen, as this colour is easy for patients to look at and highlights features on the baby,” she said. Ms McDonald said the Yarriambiack was in a fortunate position to have access to a 3D/4D machine. “I believe that Horsham does not currently have a 3D/ 4D ultrasound machine so RNH is the closest one available to Horsham residents and of course provides a service for our local Yarriambaick residents without them needing to travel to Horsham,” she said. RNH is also able to provide X-Ray services as ordered by the patients doctor. Radiology Services are available every Monday and Thursday from 8.30am to 4pm and are bulk billed.

immediately suspend the energy saving LED lighting replacement scheme, and door-todoor sales more widely. “I am absolutely disgusted at the illegal dumping and pollution across our beautiful region, dumping glass into the river. Local people work incredibly hard to look after our part of the world, and for anyone to deliberately disrespect that and dump rubbish is appalling,” she said. “I applaud and thank our communities for taking a stand on this issue and refusing to tolerate such appalling behaviour. “The Victorian Energy Upgrades program is meant to support the environment, not destroy it. The minister responsible for this scheme must immediately investigate this appalling rort of government funding. “The fact that salespeople involved in this program are allowed to go door-to-door in our region in the ﬁrst place is bafﬂing and

dangerous. Many of the salespeople involved come from metropolitan areas. Why is this allowed to continue when coronavirus cases in Melbourne have surged?” Ms Kealy said. Ms Kealy said Premier Daniel Andrews must urgently put a stop to door-to-door sales to ensure residents are not faced with any increased risks. “Our communities have worked incredibly hard to keep coronavirus cases extremely low, and there has not been a conﬁrmed case in our region for a long time; we want to keep it that way,” she said. Ms Kealy said in the meantime, residents should exercise caution when dealing with any door-to-door salespeople, and never give personal details unless they could verify the salesperson was from a legitimate organisation. Ms Kealy encouraged people to report littering by calling the EPA on 1300 372 842.

YOUNG VETERANS...from page 5 “There are no psychiatrists here, there are no mental health providers here,” Ms Bolwell said. Veterans might experience anxiety, depression, insomnia, claustrophobia or a number of other symptoms. Veteran mental health organisation Open Arms is a national service that provides support for veterans, and it recently launched online suicide prevention training, delivered in partnership with the RSL. The online training is open to all current and former defence force members with one continuous day of full-time service, as well as their family members and anyone who supports the veteran community. Ms Rothery said an increase in mental health ﬁrst-aid in workplaces would also help open up workplaces veterans who might be experiencing mental health symptoms. “More needs to be done to make people aware of how to handle mental health,” she said. “We did the course last year and it’s something we’d like to bring in again.” Ms Bolwell said veterans coming back with post-traumatic stress disorder could access Open Arms - if they were able to get to Nhill. “Everybody is talking about the amount of suicides (that occur) and things like that and

there are a lot of fellas that come back with post-traumatic stress disorder,” she said. “With Open Arms, the person you have to talk to is in Nhill - you still have to get to Nhill. We’re lucky we have an RSL car we’ve got for transport to get veterans to medical treatment.” Ms Rothery said she would continue to look into funding options and hoped that if successful, it would help attract more veterans who hadn’t previously accessed the service. “I’m going to look into grants that might be available through the council, contact a few other people through Anzac House and see if they know of anything coming up and just really pushing where I can,” she said. She described the centre’s position as a Catch-22. “I need the people to get the funding but I need the funding to get the days to get the people. “That’s where we struggle with the grants, because we haven’t got a high number here and we don't really know how many there really are in the area,” she said.

Real Estate HORSHAM PERFECT FOR FIRST HOME BUYERS

• OPPURTUNITY: The first home owners grant makes these Horsham townhouses the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to buy their first home. Photo: SHANE ROBERTS.

A NEW housing development on Natimuk Road in Horsham presents the perfect opportunity for ﬁrst home buyers to get their foot in the door thanks to the ﬁrst home owners grant, says Horsham Real Estate director Nola Brown. Anyone buying a home up to the value of $750,000 is eligible for the grant. The grant is doubled for buying

in regional Victoria to $20,000 from the $10,000 available for metropolitan buyers. First home buyers also qualify for exemptions on stamp duty. For buyers, the home must be less than ﬁve years old to qualify for the grant, making these townhouses the perfect choice. “They are two bedrooms and a study which is unusual for a

townhouse, and they are on a smart block of 341 square metres, so they are low maintenance and everything is done,” Ms Brown said. “You could move in there, jump in your caravan and go for three months and it would be the same when you came back. “Everything is done, right down to solar sprinkler systems, it’s low

maintenance and all paved, it’s state-of-the-art everything, it’s got a butler’s pantry.” Ms Brown said the property and the grant together made it a “brilliant opportunity” for a first home buyer to find huge savings. “It means someone can get into their first home and save $20,000 plus stamp duty,” she said. “Some banks will actually use

that $20,000 to go towards the deposit. “It’s going to be cheaper than rent. The rent here is high because … we just don’t have enough rentals at the moment. So you might ﬁnd getting into your ﬁrst home is actually cheaper repayment-wise. Both properties are on the market already at 87 Natimuk Road and are listed at $483,000.

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.

Coronavirus causing wait HORSHAM EAST ROTARY CLUB times men’s programs By Chris Michaels

A SURVEY by No To Violence, Australia’s largest peak body for services that work with men who use violence and abuse has found long waiting times to access essential services. The recent telephone survey found that the average waiting time for a Men’s Behaviour Change Program was two and a half months. The longest wait time was 40 weeks, and around 30 percent of programs remained closed due to physical distancing restrictions. No to Violence chief executive Jacqui Watt said, “these results show there is a strong demand for services that support people who use violence to be the man they want to be.” “It takes a lot of strength for a man to reach out to a service to want to change their abusive and violent behaviour,” Ms Watt said. “To have to wait up to 40 weeks really presents a risk to these men, and importantly their partners, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends and families.” Things aren’t all doom and gloom in the Wimmera though with Grampians Community Health continuing to run programs both remotely and soon in groups. Healthy Lifestyle Counselling Program Leader at Grampians Community Health Jenn Tumney said their men’s programs in Horsham will be back up and running in a group format within a couple of weeks. “There are two groups in Horsham running,” Ms Tumney said. “And some men on the waiting list in Ararat can join the Stawell group if they have transport. “In Horsham there are 14 and

12 men in the two different groups running. Both have been well attended which is fantastic.” Ms Tumney said once the men take responsibility for their hurtful and destructive behaviour they can make inroads into their behaviour. “The important step is getting the perpetrators to take ownership,” Ms Tumney said. “And to acknowledge his behaviour has caused harm. It’s about helping them find nonviolent ways to participate in a relationship.” While the coronavirus has impacted on the way the courses have been run, Ms Tumney said continuing the contact with the participants during this time has been important. “We’ve done a lot of work while in lockdown,” she said. “Either on the phone or via video the men have maintained some behavioural changes.” The courses for men with behavioural issues run for 20 weeks with a session running for two hours. “We have 20 week courses with two assessments during the course,” Ms Tumney said. Ms Tumney said the waiting times can be difficult but there is hope. “There may not be an immediate place for them but at least they’re on the road to coming into the group,” she said. “We find the group work is the best practice because of the strong peer support element of the group. We’ve seen some increases of issues because of the coronavirus and the enforced isolation, which is why our facilitator has been in regular contact.” The groups run a Tuesday and a Friday session each week in Horsham.

Access to Summerday Valley extended By Chris Michaels

THE Aboriginal cultural heritage of the Grampians is being better protected and recognised as part of a new agreement for tour groups operating at Summerday Valley in the national park. With the support of Traditional Owners, licensed tour operators offering rock climbing and abseiling were last year provided conditional access to operate in Summerday Valley, an area protected because of its natural and cultural values. This access has now been extended with the addition of a voluntary Code of Conduct that is designed to help tour operators and their customers better recognise, protect and respect the area’s Aboriginal cultural heritage. Operators are now also required to hold a cultural heritage permit which sets out the requirements for them to responsibly operate in this special area. The Grampians region is home to the largest number of known

significant and ancient Aboriginal rock art sites in southern Australia, some dating back more than 20,000 years. For tour operators operating in Summerday Valley, other licence conditions include defined operating locations; compulsory completion of an Aboriginal cultural heritage induction program; education for operators and their tour groups; identification for tour guides and their customers; use of a booking system to manage and monitor access; and reporting of visitor data to help with planning and review. “The Grampians National Park contains precious environmental and cultural values that we all have a responsibility to protect,” Parks Victoria Western Regional director Jason Borg said. “People visiting the park and wishing to climb can do so respectfully by staying out of special protection areas or taking a tour with an appropriately qualified and approved licensed tour operator.”

THE Horsham East Rotary Club held a changeover dinner on Wednesday July 1 with Zane Bell taking over as president. The dinner was held at Olde Horsham and had a Scottish theme, with 20 guests including Mr Bell and Mayor Cr Mark Radford getting into the spirit of the night with most guests including Bell wearing a kilt as an acknowledgement of his Scottish heritage. Mr Bell began his 12-month tenure, as per Rotary rules and said he was excited by the opportunity. “It was a strange night as far as changeover dinners as we could only have 20 people there, whereas we would usually have 60 or 70,” Mr Bell said. “But we made the best of it.” “I chose a Scottish theme as a tribute to my ancestors, so most people wore kilts or tartan.” Mr Bell takes over the presidency from Tom Gallagher and is the culmination of seven years contributing to Rotary in Horsham. “I’ll be coming up to seven years this

September,” Mr Bell said. “I have been on the board for the last three years. As per the process I was nominated by a past president, and became president elect for 12 months. This enabled me to learn about the role and to do various training leading up to taking on the role.” There are currently 38 members of the Horsham East branch of Rotary and one of Mr Bell’s key aims for his tenure is to build that figure and engage with the local community. “I will be trying to recruit new members. Rotary is involved in local and international activities. And we have a youth director who looks after the local youth projects, “ Mr Bell said. “I want to continue to make Rotary a fun place where you can meet new people and be involved with some great social activities as well.” Mr Bell said people join Rotary for a raft of reasons, but for him it was the desire to get himself out of his comfort zone. “When I joined my main reason was to meet new people,” he said. “Just from joining my self confidence has really improved. That’s what it has done for me.”

Man charged for farm thefts By Jessica Taylor

WARRACKNABEAL Police have charged a 27 year old Warracknabeal man for a number of thefts around the area. Sergeant Kylie Newell said the thefts were from homes, farm sheds, vehicles and tractors from around the area.

“A number of items have been recovered. Investigations are ongoing, we hope to recover other items and to identify any other offenders,” Sgt Newell said. Sgt Newell asked anyone who notices any property missing to contact Warracknabeal Police on 5398 1044 or the Police Assistance Line on 131 444.

Business Trades Directory CHINA RAISES TARIFF ON BEEF By Chris Michaels

CHINA has increased tariffs on Australian beef to 12 percent and won’t drop back to preferential rates until 2021. The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) livestock president Leonard Vallance said the increase “demonstrates the importance of national representation of farmers when tariffs are drawn up.” “It is very important farmers are represented at all times,” Mr Vallance said. This year the safeguard was 180,000 tonnes and that figure was reached on Tuesday. “It is a very complex market when dealing with tariffs. All countries have a limit on how much we can trade in a 12 month period,” Mr Vallance said. Mr Vallance said key to Australia’s continued exporting to China and other countries was our continued strong level of integrity with our exports and processing. “As far as maintaining integrity and product control we are a world leader. The abattoir industry is

constantly testing animals for produce issues. And we have a team of vets Australia-wide who test and check for diseases.” “It is very important we have a very high standard of product.”

Putting tariffs to one side, Mr Vallance believes the coronavirus is “nothing to the beef industry,” but said foot and mouth and other diseases would shut down the entire industry and country.

AGEING bridges and culverts in western Victoria will benefit from $700,000 in upgrades from the Victorian Government. Beginning later this year, crews will begin $433,000 worth of upgrades on StawellWarracknabeal Road near Lubeck to boost durability and prevent the need for future weight restrictions on routes used by primary producers. Similarly, works will begin on NatimukFrances Road near Gymbowen which will get $275,000 worth of upgrades.

Minister for Roads and Road Safety Ben Carroll said that investment under the $10 million Building Works package in regional Victoria would keep up employment in the region. “Whether it’s workers on the ground or in the supply chain - we’re upgrading these bridges to support jobs and help rural industry,” he said. The government expects to create around 300 regional jobs as a result of its $124 million investment on roads and regional investment. All works will begin progressively rolling out from late 2020 with all works expected to finish by approximately mid-2021.

This Week’sTHIS WEEKS Markets MARKETS SHEEP & LAMB

BENDIGO

YARDING: 10600 LAMB: 8300 SHEEP: 2300 Another slight reduction in both lamb and sheep supplies this week. Quality was plainer, with more winter cleanup lots evident and less weight overall. But demand was the main issue in another significantly cheaper market, with two key export companies still not operating and all other buyers quieter than usual. The heaviest export lambs were up to $30 cheaper, and it took a very well finished lamb over 28kg cwt to sell above $200/head. The better finished trade lambs were $10 to $15/ head easier, while secondary lambs of all descriptions received heavy discounting. The sheep sale followed a similar weaker trend. Extra heavy export lambs sold to $228/head. One agency led their run with new season lambs, receiving $215/head for a line of Dohne Dorset-cross that were estimated at 32 to 34kg cwt. Sales over $200 were limited, with the bulk of the yarding selling under this price point. The main run of

Not all the usual buying group were in attendance, the market was very erratic seeing price spikes to around 845c/kg cwt but overall the market was back around $8 to $15/head. Light lambs sold from $85 to $145 and feeders paid from $95 to $148/head. Trade lambs, 18 to 22kg, sold from $137 to $178/head. Lambs,22 to 24kg, sold from $170 to $190/head, with a range of 725c to 848c to average around 775c/kg cwt. Lambs, 24 to 26kg, sold from $170 to$200/head. Export score 4 lambs, 26 to 30kg, sold from $179 to $212 and extra heavy export lambs over 30kg sold from to $236/head.

YARDING: 1052 LAMB: 548 SHEEP: 504 A big drop in numbers saw just 548 lambs yarded at Horsham this week, following large price fluctuations over recent sales. Quality was average, with a mix of most grades penned. Not all the usual processors and exporters attended or operated in a market that saw heavy lambs sell to $188, and the trade weight lambs sell to $177 and easing around $20/head. Merino lambs, few in number sold from $119 to $150/head. Restockers were active on the few pens of heavier trade weight lambs and paid from $179 to $191, and $100/head for lighter lots. Sheep numbers were also back at 504/head, with a mix of all weights and grades penned. Sheep sold to an easier trend to be mostly from $10 to $30/head down on last week. Merino ewes sold to $162, crossbred ewes sold to $148 and a pen of heavy crossbred wethers sold at $160/head. Light weight 2 score lambs sold from

Smaller lambs suiting MK processing orders made from $88 to $130 as dollar per head prices cascaded down. Demand for mutton was at reduced levels, with not all buyers operating.

There was a regular processor absent from the buying group with the remainder operating in a firm market, cheaper in places. Quality declined with secondary cattle throughout. Vealers eased 10c to 15c/ kg on most sales as secondary calves to feeders were closer to firm. Most yearling steers sold to feeder orders at dearer prices while those to the trade eased up to 20c/kg. Yearling heifers to the trade sold firm. Grown steers and bullocks sold firm. Friesian manufacturing steers eased 15c/kg with a regular buyer missing.

YARDING: 1800 CHANGE: 650 It was a much larger yarding this week as export numbers lifted to 1,000 head and trade numbers doubled to 800. There was a good quality run of well conditioned beef cows offered. Heavy bullocks were scarce and grown steers were not as plentiful as last sale. All of the usual buyers were in attendance although several exporters were more subdued this week and demand for cows weakened with prices coming back 20c to 30c on the beef cows and 13c to 20c/kg on the dairy portion. Grown steers also lost ground to be 14c/kg cheaper. There were some excellent runs of supplementary fed Euro cross yearlings steers and heifers. Although the quality of the offering improved within the trade section prices did show a decline. The odd sale of top B muscled calves held firm but generally most grades of trade cattle met falls of 5 to 17c/kg. The majority of the vealers made

Motoring Vehicle servicing – More important than ever

REFLECTING over the last 30 years in the Motor industry with someone recently, I spoke about the change in engines over the time. I can remember my father telling me early on that when they were planning a trip to Melbourne from Warracknabeal they would have to take the old Holden in to get a valve grind and check the oil before you left and also before you returned home. Over the years the technology and efﬁciency of engines has improved immensely. We now see quite amazing fuel economy ﬁgures, much less carbon emission, less noise and much more power. Some of the improvements have come from

twin or quad cams, multi valves, alloy heads, fuel injection and then common rail injection, and electrical computers just to name a few. If you look at an old Holden faithful, a 4.2 litre (253) V8 engine produced power of 138 Kw’s, and now you have vehicles with 4 cyl. Engines producing even more power, even our diesel dual cab utes produce more power, which is quite amazing. The oil we now use in the modern engine has changed signiﬁcantly, with much less friction to produce more power with less fuel. For years we had one good oil for petrol engines and one good oil for diesel engines. Now we can use around 5 different oils to meet certain

speciﬁcations. Some people have great difﬁculty in understanding the modern engine, saying that with the great power they produce out of a smaller capacity engine, they must be revving harder and working harder to produce the same results. In fact this is incorrect. If we look at the majority of your main stream turbo diesels,

which vary from 2.3 litre to 3.2 litre, they produce between 140 to 147 Kw compared to your old Toyota and Nissan 4.2 litre 6 cylinder engines, which produced between 116 and 122 Kw’s but work at much higher revs. The modern turbo diesels operate around 1800 to 2000 revs at 100Kph - which is certainly not working hard. With improvements in technology the tolerances or ﬂexibility of the engine is also less, meaning the servicing or maintenance is now more crucial than ever. Where oil changes were conducted every 5,000 to 10,000 Kms in the old engines we are now seeing servicing required every 15,000 and even 20,000 Kms on some main stream vehicles. In the past you could be forgiven for going past your service due date by 5,000 Kms but with the modern engine this could see you destroy it very swiftly and at great expense. With built-in computers and electronics manufacturers are continually updating the software of the engine and transmission to improve fuel consumption and changing shift patterns of automatic transmissions. So while you may not even notice any changes to the way the vehicle drives there are quite often minor improvements made over the life of your car to improve its drivability and efﬁciency.

Visitors return to Nhill Aviation Heritage Museum

• Budding pilot and visitor from Melbourne, Tim learning to ‘fly’ in the Link Trainer.

OVER 50 visitors from across western Victoria and Melbourne enjoyed a day out discovering some of Nhill’s past at the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre. Visitors were able to try their hand at ‘ﬂying’ during their time at the centre last weekend. The propeller from the locally built 1920’s “Silver Wings”, the locally owned 1930’s deSoutter, along with the Tiger Moth, Avro Anson and the Wirraway of the 1940’s were all on show as part of Nhill’s rich aviation history. The Link Trainer was a highlight for some visitors.

This original “flight simulator” was invented in time to train hundreds of new pilots to fly at night or through clouds, during the Second World War. Climbing into a darkened cockpit pilots would follow their instructor’s orders and ‘fly’ their plane, referring only to their instruments. Max Carland, of Nhill, a former RAAF pilot, remembers spending 28 hours in a Link Trainer. “The best thing was you could always step out of it safely, even if you’d had a rough flight or lost your way,” Mr Carland said. The NAHC will be open again this weekend or at other times by appointment.

Grave Hunters Landcare calls on investigate Cemetery Karen community for Project Hindmarsh

• Thablay Khinshwe puts a tree guard • Karen community member Noekhae around the plant to provide protection from made sure that all the new plantings received the elements and fauna. plenty of water to kickstart their growth.

• SURVEY: Shannon and David Hunter of Hunter Geophysics survey the Warracknabeal Cemetery for any unidentified graves using a Ground Penetrating Radar. By Jessica Taylor

WARRACKNABEAL Cemetery Trust has had sections of the cemetery checked for unidentified graves recently. Hunter Geophysics or better known as Dave the Grave Hunter and his mother Shannon are conducting the search. Armed with a Ground Penetrating Radar, the team slowly surveyed 250mm sections of the ground starting in the north western section. Business owner and Geophysicist David Hunter said they provide their grave survey business throughout the country, identifying graves that are unmarked. The radar used is mounted on a set of wheels and is pushed along a grid to ensure full coverage. “So it’s essentially measuring the variations in the conductivity in the soil, and the electrical conductivity of the soil. “Which can vary based on the amount of moisture in it. So when you dig a grave you disturb the ground, the soil that’s already in the ground, bury the body and back fill it in with that same material. “That process of actually digging things up pulls apart the soil grains and creates gaps in between the ground. “What that means is when you have rain, that particular path of ground that’s been back filled has more capacity for holding water,” Mr Hunter said. “We push that along the line and we see all different reflections that are going on in the ground,” he said. David and Shannon are then able to identify all sorts of irregularities under the ground from pipes, rabbit burrows, tree roots, old house structures and the graves which are then able to be identified on a map to the cemetery trust. “In the case of graves there are two ways they can show up. It’s either a case of if it’s a

relatively recent grave, the coffin won’t have decomposed and so you get this air gap inside the coffin. “When the graves are older or the coffin lids have collapsed, what we see is the variation in the soil itself where the soil was dug. “We take all this information back to the computer back in the office. It takes about two to three months to meticulously go through it and find any slight variation in the soil,” he said. Around 95 percent of their work is in rural Victoria and are invited by the cemeteries to come and identify sites. They are the first business in Australia to focus purely in grave searching as other engineering companies focus more on construction work, finding infrastructure such as pipes. Mr Hunter said the business came about after completing a degree in archaeology which then evolved into grave searching. “I did some work at the Glenrowan archaeological project there and the Kelly Gang seige site and that was great, I spent two weeks there digging and then I got into more commercial archaeology which was just digging and not finding much. “That is fine for some people. Some people find it much more interesting but I don’t and I got a bit sick of being on my knees all day and finding nothing,” he said. So he applied Geophysics to Archeology and happened to come across a job where a group wanted him to investigate a grave site. Since then they have been travelling Australia to identify unmarked grave sites in cemeteries across the country. David said that after they investigate the Warracknabeal site they will take the data back to be analysed and a report presented to the cemetery trust.

ABOUT 2,800 trees, shrubs, grasses and herbs were planted through Project Hindmarsh on the Inkster property at Antwerp on Saturday. Due to conravirus restrictions the annual planting project was undertaken by workers from Nhill’s Karen community who divided into small groups to undertake the mass planting. They were joined by Tim Inkster and about 10 family members who manage the property. Mr Inkster said the team worked on their continued efforts to revegetate the Wimmera River and filling in areas that required further work to build up areas previously planted. “It worked out well that we were able to fit in with what Hindmarsh Landcare were doing around the Wimmera River. “We planted about 1500 along the river and more in the shoulder belt screen near town,” Mr Inkster said. “It was a great day for it, the weather was perfect and sunny. The Karen people cooked us some lunch so we got to try some of their

tucker,” he said. A mixture of established tube stock was planted throughout the day with some natives from black box trees, some rare native plants and grasses to build up diversity. Project Hindmarsh, organised by Hindmarsh Landcare Network usually draws hundreds of volunteers from both the city and country has had to adapt to the changed world due coronavirus restrictions. The grand vision of Project Hindmarsh, which started in 1997 is to link the Little Desert and Big Desert, with more than half a million trees planted in the past 22 years. The planting at Anwerp is one of four plantings happening at different locations in the district. “A big thanks to Tim and Ben Inkster for all their help with the project and use of their land and also the Karen community from Nhill for all their hard work and also providing the catering for lunch,” Hindmarsh Landcare Facilitator Jonathan Starks said.

Regional development Australia Grampians’ to provide support By Chris Michaels

REGIONAL Development Australia (RDA) Grampians’ newly-appointed committee of business and community leaders will provide much needed support to enable the region to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. The RDA Grampians’ main role will be to target economic growth and employment in the Wimmera region, with the aim to get businesses back on their feet as quickly as possible. Key activities being undertaken by the RDA Grampians include contributing to a report, commissioned by the Victorian regional RDA committees, to identify a future vision which focuses on doubling the population to over three million people by 2040 and to stabilise the region’s economy. And supporting regional commerce and development associations that are supporting businesses through the coronavirus.

RDA Grampians Chair Stuart Benjamin said, “The RDA Grampians team will be focused on structural and systemic issues that we are committed to overcoming”. “The newly appointed committee will be augmented with observers and guests with distinct skills sets and location-specific knowledge.” RDAs have regular communication with all levels of government to offer first-hand insights into how local communities are coping, and the impact and effectiveness of government response measures. Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Territories Nola Marino said, “Since late March I have been holding regular teleconferences with RDA representatives three times a week, and I want to thank the RDA Grampians committee members and staff for their work in driving positive change in your local communities.”

NATIMUK CLUBROOMS GAIN SOLAR POWER IN THE SWING

• Natimuk Field and Game Clubrooms will received $8,000 for its solar power project. By Connor McKenzie

THE Natimuk Field and Game clubrooms have been awarded a $8000 grant via the Horsham City Council’s Community Development Program, allowing the club to move forward with its solar power project. The clubrooms, located on Wyn Wyn road 10 kilometres from Natimuk, is currently disconnected to a permanent power source, being powered primarily by a diesel generator when club officials are present. The 300 member strong club runs

both a kitchen and canteen facilities, but has had to cart in supplies on an event basis as there is no continual power source to store food and beverages. This grant will go towards the club’s bid to install both solar panels and a battery bank to give the clubrooms 24/7 access to power. Natimuk Field and Game secretary Tom Hardman said the club was appreciative of the grant, which will improve the clubs facilities greatly. “This has been a long term project for the club, so we are very appreciative of the grant,” Hardman

said. “It has been tough getting the project off the ground, so we couldn’t have got this done without the help of the council. “Natimuk Solar have also been supportive of the club, donating around $10,000 worth of goods and installation equipment to help get the panels and battery bank up and running. “We look forward to showing off our new facilities to all in the future events at the club.” The Natimuk Field and Game club aims to host its first event this weekend, the first since March.

Track restrictions likely for foreseeable future By Connor McKenzie

PUNTERS around the region are elated that Greyhound race meets in Horsham have continued despite strict COVID-19 regulations, however the restrictions in place at the Horsham Greyhound Racing Club look to be here to stay for a while yet. As the state continues to deal with rising COVID-19 case numbers, public and crowd guidelines will expectedly not ease for the foreseeable future, news avid punters in the Wimmera region did not want to hear. The Greyhound industry is one of only a few that have navigated the pandemic crisis with minimal problems, as Greyhound races continued even during the states’ first major lockdown period. Horsham Greyhound Racing Club manager Jusin Brilliant said that while the club would welcome the public and punters back through the gates, ensuring the safety of the racing trainers, stewards and officials is critical. “As we see many different

• Punters will have to wait a little longer before public crowds will be allowed through the gates to view the Horsham Greyhound Racing Club’s Tuesday evening meets. Photo: Horsham Greyhound Club

people come from all across the state to our meets, we like to limit the movements of all involved at the meet within the confines of the track,” Brilliant said. “Unfortunately for the foreseeable future, this includes restricting the public access to the tracks.” However Brilliant said the club is encouraged by the support the club and Greyhound meets are receiving from punters even though they are not present. “Our punters are still really active, we see online betting and corporate bookmaker numbers soaring, nearly doubling numbers we have previously seen, and this is a trend that the majority of the

Greyhound clubs are observing throughout the state. “We saw this trend specifically at the height of the lockdown, with punters looking to the Greyhound meets as other common sporting betting opportunities were not available.” The club is looking to have a mobile food truck or barbecue set up for future meets, again aiming to limit movement of those at the track and ensure the health of both officials and the public. The Horsham Greyhound Racing Club meets every Tuesday evening, and punters can view upcoming races and review race reports at www.fasttrack.grv.org.au.

FOOTBALL and netball ofﬁcials at the Wimmera Football League, Wimmera Netball Association and the Horsham District Football and Netball League have been working

around the clock to combine the leagues for a shortened junior competition. After the cancellation of the senior level football and netball competitions for the 2020 season, both the Wimmera and Horsham

District leagues were committed to exploring all options for a junior competition pending on club participation. Junior footballers and netballers now know what structure their competition will adopt for 2020,

with 15 teams competing in an eight week draw, starting on July 25 and running through to September 12. Six Wimmera and Horsham District teams within the 15 team list have made the decision to combine forces for the revamped junior competition, with the Warrack Eagles joining forces with the Rupanyup Panthers, Southern Mallee Giants join the Jeparit/Rainbow Storm, and the Nhill Tigers will join with Kowee Naracoorte Tatiara Football League team Kaniva Leeor United Football Club. The competition will see two age groups compete in football, Under 14s and Under 17s, with three in netball, Under 13s, Under 15s and Under 17s. “It’s great that we’ve received major support from the clubs in the Wimmera and Mallee areas,” Jason Muldoon, Area Manager for AFL Victoria said. “We have focused on making

sure that our juniors can continue to play our sports, in a safe and fun environment. “The competition will focus on participation, rather than on winning. We just want to see some fun junior footy.” Officials have planned specifically for the junior competition to finish one week before the start of the spring school holidays. “We decided to finish before school holidays, as we know families like to go away, so numbers may then be a problem, and avoiding running into cricket season which we know many of our juniors love to play as well,” Muldoon said. The Wimmera District Umpires Group have been asked to officiate the Under 17s football. “This is a great opportunity for our juniors to get back out onto the field and courts, and we know our juniors will embrace it with open arms,” Muldoon said.

HARNESS RETURN DELAYED

• Horsham and District Harness Racing Club will not see a race meet at their track in July after Harness Racing Victoria revised their calendar due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Photo contributed: Horsham and District Harness Racing Club. By Connor McKenzie

THE planned restart to harness racing in Horsham has been delayed, as Harness Racing Victoria has revised their July calendar due to ongoing challenges brought on by the COVID-19 situation. The Horsham and District Harness Racing Club were expecting their ﬁrst race meet since the March long weekend to occur on July 8, however as the state continues to deal with the spread of

COVID-19, the decision to revise the calendar for the immediate future was made by Harness Racing Victoria. Publicity ofﬁcer at the Horsham and District Harness Racing Club Tony Logan said HRV determines and negotiates on these issues, including plans to restart meets at tracks outside of the nine that were set at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. Currently, the structure sees only nine tracks across the state holding race meets, which includes the

Stawell track. "When the three months of regional racing concluded on June 30, trainers, drivers and horses were free to race at tracks outside their allocated regional area and it was expected that all Victorian venues would progressively ‘open up’ with Horsham programmed for July 8th and Ararat later in the month,” Logan said. "However in the best interests of the industry, HRV then decided to stay with just nine tracks in operation until mid-July, and then

on Monday this week, advised this would continue until the end of the month at least.” Horsham and Ararat tracks, along with another 16 in Victoria, won’t see a race meet just yet. With metropolitan areas now in a six week lockdown period, HRV will focus on navigating through these challenges, and they expect even more changes ahead. “The revised calendar does place a big load on the nine clubs who are continuing to race, so it's unfortunate that the Horsham track

can’t help in easing that load,” Logan said. “We would love to be racing sometime soon but ensuring the safety of everyone involved is the main focus. “Everyone is acting in the interests of the industry, and HRV has not ruled out reverting to the regional based racing model if necessary. “HRV are continually monitoring the COVID-19 situation and we hope the trots return to all tracks as soon as it's possible.”
