Affordable housing shortage By Alexander Darling A MAJOR service provider says the coronavirus pandemic has underscored the immediate need for more social and affordable housing in the Wimmera. Uniting Wimmera housing program leader Belinda Gilpin said there had been a noticeable spike in the number of people needing to access housing services across the region following the start of restrictions. “We’ve noticed people right across the region have lost their jobs or been stood down, and are in situations where they can’t afford to pay their rent or put food on the table,” she said. “We have been able to assist them with Private Rental Assistance Program funding to maintain their tenancy… and we’ve got a limited number of transitional properties we are able to assist with, but the list has obviously grown during the pandemic. We do need an increase of housing in the area, and the pandemic has made that visible right from the early point.” Ms Gilpin said accommodation provided respite for people seeking to establish stability in their lives. Social housing is provided to people on low incomes and in greatest need including the homeless, those living in inappropriate housing or where rental costs are too high. People must meet income and other criteria to be eligible. Infrastructure Victoria’s 2019 Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Profile notes the Horsham municipality has higher levels of housing stress for low income earners that are renting, and also a larger proportion of social housing than the Victorian average. While figures from advocacy group the Council to Homeless Persons showed more than a third of those homeless in the Lowan were in crisis accommodation, with couch surfing, living in “severely crowded accommodation” and sleeping rough the three next most common forms of
homelessness in the electorate. Ms Gilpin said there had been a “huge increase” in people sleeping rough and couch surfing coming to Uniting since the pandemic began. “Due to the pandemic with social distancing they were required to leave where they were staying, with nowhere else to go,” she said. “A lot of hotels and motels in places like Horsham, Stawell and Ararat have contacted us to see if they can assist with what they have to offer. “We’re just so grateful for people who have been able to assist and open up their pubs - it’s meant we’ve got some options when other places like campsites have closed down. For single people and people with families, just to have that respite and somewhere to stay is important.” Chief executive Jenny Smith said 539 people saw their homelessness services in Horsham in 2019/19, while 437 people were on social housing waiting lists in the city. “Right across Victoria the problem is we haven’t invested in social housing, and in Horsham the number of affordable rental properties has decreased by 38 percent in the last 20 years,” she said. “We’re very much hoping the state and federal governments will use stimulus from COVID-19 to start to tackle this problem.” Ross, a Horsham accommodation provider, has been helping Uniting temporarily house vulnerable residents for seven years. “Obviously the demand has been greater in more recent times, and we have to do these things at a reduced rate compared to normal, but there is no normal at the moment,” he said. “What we’ve found is historically we had half a dozen inquiries every few months for weekly or fortnightly tenancies, whereas that type of thing is higher. We’ve got a couple of people that have needed to stay for a bit longer too. “With few exceptions all the people that come to stay are genuine people trying to put a roof over their head, whether they are individuals or have

A NORTHERN Grampians Shire councillor has welcomed the extension of a subsidy program for rail freight in Victoria, but says more needs to be done. The council wrote to Victoria’s Ports and Freight Minister Melissa Horne asking her to extend the Mode Shift Incentive Scheme beyond July 1 after Cr Driscoll moved a motion at its meeting on June 1. A day later, Minister Horne announced the government would invest $4 million to extend the scheme until June 30 2021. The scheme remunerates companies on four Victorian rail lines, including the Horsham and Mildura lines, to allow them to charge less in transport costs and compete with road freight, the ultimate aim being fewer trucks on the roads. Cr Driscoll, of St Arnaud and a member of the advocacy group the Rail Freight Alliance, said he would have preferred if the funding was guaranteed for four years. “It is still a great step in keeping potentially 17,000 trucks off our roads, but we’ve got a lot of work to do to maintain that and our rail infrastructure,” he said. “The MSIS has dropped about 33 percent in 10 years in terms of actual dollars expended. Notwithstanding that, any incentive is better than none. “From exporters’ perspective, they need some sense of certainty around the MSIS, so I’ve heard anecdotally some have decided to go to road hopefully they will now reconsider that with the
extension of the scheme, and hopefully we can lobby to get that extended out to 2022. I also get that from a producer’s point of view, they need some consistency in terms of their freight delivery. “We’ve got a hay plant in St Arnaud and would like to be able to get some of those containers on to rail, so if you look at the bigger picture it’s a critical freight line from Mildura to the port.” Cr Driscoll said the RFA continued lobbying for the completion of the multi-stage Murray Basin Rail Project to modernise tracks on several freight rail lines in northern and western Victoria. Stage one of the $440 million project saw the Mildura and Hopetoun lines upgraded. The project has stalled after the state government
used up all the funding allocated, and a revised business case is now before the federal government. The Horsham Times has contacted the Department of Infrastructure for more information. Tim Guidera is the general manager of Wimmera Container Line, which operates Dooen’s Intermodal Freight Terminal and benefits from the MSIS. He also welcomed the extension of the scheme, and the government committing $125 million to build rail on the Swanson Dock in Melbourne. “(This) is a vital step that will lead to more efficient access into the Port of Melbourne,” he said.
POLICE are calling for witnesses after a number of letterboxes in Warracknabeal, Stawell and Ararat were damaged by what police believe to be fireworks. Detective Senior Constable Caroline Blackley, of Ararat, said the incidents had taken place across the last three weeks, and always at night. “We’re concerned people are going to get injured,” she said. “We’re asking witnesses who have seen anyone acting suspiciously, or seen any cars
that are suspicious, to take down the details and forward them to police or Crime Stoppers.” Detective Senior Constable Blackley also said if residents know of anyone in possession of illegal fireworks they should also let police know. Crime Stoppers can be contacted on 1800 333 00, or a report can be made anonymously online at https://www.crimestoppersvic.com. au/report-a-crime/. Ararat police can be contacted on 5355 1500.

WAITING GAME FOR REGION’S CHILDCARE

By Alexander Darling CHILDCARE providers say they will do all they can to keep their Wimmera centres open, as they navigate plans to end wage subsidies to the sector. In April, in response to falling attendances at childcares across Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government announced the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package. As part of this it agreed to pay 50 percent of childcare services’ fee revenue - or 50 percent of the existing hourly rate cap - to allow them to stay open. Families sending their children to childcare have been able to do so for free since this time. On Monday, education minister Dan Tehan announced the temporary childcare package will end on July 12, and workers in the sector will no longer be eligible for JobKeeper from July 20. “Instead, the Government will pay childcare services a Transition Payment of 25 percent of their fee revenue during the relief package reference period from July 13 until September 27 to support the transition back to the Child Care Subsidy system,” he said. Uniting Wimmera’s early learning area manager Paula Clarke said the changes announced came as a surprise. “We haven’t been given the full details at this stage, so we are waiting to hear from the department around the specifics,” she said. “One of the interesting things around the timing was that the minister claimed he would consult with the sector before announcing changes, but Uniting wasn’t consulted. “After reading the wording (of the press release), we believe staff at our long daycare centers and family daycare programs will no longer be eligible
for JobKeeper.” Ms Clarke said the government had advised providers it expected childcare fees not to rise above what they were in February. “We have engaged closely with the Commonwealth about our Wimmera services, because they are meeting a crucial need for families, so we can maintain (our level of service),” she said. “I’m confident we will work with the government to remain operational for the days and hours we currently provide.” Uniting Wimmera operates several facilities in the region, including in Horsham, Warracknabeal, Hopetoun and Balmoral. Pauline Butler, executive officer of Horsham District Kindergarten Association, said employees at its 12 facilities did not qualify for JobKeeper because they were regarded as schools. Instead, the association received exceptional circumstances money. “Financially, the package probably had an impact on our organisation: We’ve still had to employ staff because we’ve had high attendance rates,” she said. “We’ve been operating on 85 percent of the money we would normally receive, and we’ll find out in probably a month’s time what that will look like.” “We’ve got most of our children back in childcare in the last two weeks, and we’ve continued to provide childcare continuously throughout the pandemic. We had pretty high numbers throughout.” Ms Butler employed around 80 staff at its facilities. “When the free childcare finishes we don’t know what impact that will have on our organisation in terms of families withdrawing from the service or whether the hours or days might reduce in employment and as a result they may not need as much childcare.”
ON NOW
By Alexander Darling NORTHERN Grampians Shire Council will forgo $250,000 in fees, charges and registrations in response to the coronavirus pandemic. At its June 1 meeting, councillors adopted the COVID-19 Financial Support and Hardship Policy, allowing for a deferral or a payment plan for council rates and some fees. Health, food, accommodation fees and property lease payments due from community and sporting clubs will all be waived for the next financial year, which begins on July 1. Residents under financial strain will also be able to apply to enter into a payment arrangement or defer payment of rates and fees to a later date if they can demonstrate the impact the pandemic has had on their financial situation. Mayor Murray Emerson said the policy would affect the 2020/21 Budget, which is being drafted.
“We don’t foresee at the moment that there will be any larger costs for the business assistance scheme or hardship policy, but we don’t know just yet,” he said. “The $250,000 is an amount we anticipate will be needed for our hardship policy. It may be more or less. We hope there will not be too high an amount of hardship that people will have to rely on consulting with the council. “It’s like buying a car: before you go to the dealer you’ve got an idea of what you’re going to pay but when you come out it might be completely different. Our people have done all the figures and have made some recommendations to council as to what they think the policy might well be.” Cr Emerson said those interested could contact the rates department on 03 5358 8700 or visit www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/policies. Stawell Biz president Nigel Keating of Sertori Accounting welcomed the reductions to administrative fees.

Overland funding future uncertain
THE Overland train service which runs between Melbourne and Adelaide via Ararat is unlikely to return. The service has been propped up over recent years by the Victorian Government after funding was withdrawn by South Australia. The Andrews Government has given the Overland several short term lifelines over the past two years, but it appears there will be no more. The service is technically funded until the end of June, but with COVID-19 restrictions it was suspended in early April. Transport Minister Melissa Horne’s office told The Horsham Times that less than 10 percent of trips on the Overland are taken solely in Victoria. “Without a fair contribution from South Australia, and given the circumstances we find ourselves in, we cannot continue to fund the privately-operated service on our own,” a spokesman said. “Victorians from the towns where Journey Beyond (the operator of The Overland) operates can be assured that the Government is continuing to support V/Line services and will work with the communities to ensure their public transport needs continue to be met” he said. “We stepped up to provide financial support for The Overland train service after the South Australian Government withdrew its share in 2018. In March we committed to extend funding for a further three months until 30 June 2020, however the service is currently suspended due to the COVID-19 South Australian border closure,” the Minister’s spokesman said. The Overland first ran in 1887 as the Adelaide Express and was taken over by a private company
in 1996. Until COVID-19, it ran two two return trips a week covering 828 kilometres between the state capitals. The train has continued to operate with a $1.5 million annual subsidy from the Victorian State Government after the South Australian Government withdrew funding. The Member for Ripon, Louise Staley, said if the Overland doesn’t return, the Andrews Government must take steps to improve public transport for people living beyond Ararat. “If the Overland shuts permanently, the Andrews Labor Government must at last seriously plan for and fund the extension of regular V/Line services from Ararat through Stawell to Horsham so that Western Victorian communities are not left without and rail service at all,” Ms Staley said. Labor Senator, Raff Ciccone, has called on the Federal Government to look at ways of retaining and improving rail services between Adelaide and Melbourne. “The Overland is an important link between Victoria and South Australia. It also plays an essential role in Western Victoria. Some communities already contend with poor access to services. We should not be making it any more difficult than it already is,” Senator Ciccone said. “The Federal Government should explore how it can support The Overland, and through that local jobs and the Western Victorians who rely on this service,” he said. “Dan Tehan can not remain silent on The Overland. He should be fighting for this community in Canberra,” Senator Ciccone said.
RETURNING TOURISTS NO PROBLEM FOR POLICE
By Alexander Darling WIMMERA police caught 38 speeding drivers over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, as tourists returned to the region’s roads. Twenty-seven of these were in the Northern Grampians Highway Patrol area, while the number of drink, drug and mobile phone-using drivers caught were in the single figures during the annual road blitz Operation Regal. On Monday, Stawell Sergeant Russell Brown said an influx of visitors to Grampians town Halls Gap did not result in any social distancing fines being issued. “There was a little bit of concern but the majority
of people are maintaining their distance,” he said. “It is difficult when there are lots of tourists in one area, but we have not had to issue fines. We are just trying to manage as best we can.” As of Wednesday, Parks Victoria has not closed any areas of the Grampians or other National Parks in the Wimmera to visitors. The road toll in the Wimmera stands at eight in 2020, the most recent on April 23 when a truck hit a tree and caught fire in Bringalbert, north of Edenhope, killing the driver. In a statement on Tuesday, Victoria Police said officers would continue to be highly visible and enforcing over the coming weeks as coronavirus restrictions eased.

If we keep working from home and we limit the number of us moving around, we can keep kicking a footy in the park. If we use common sense and keep our distance, we can visit cafes and restaurants. And if we only see those we need to, we’ll keep our friends and families safe. We all have a part to play. It’s up to all of us to make this work.

VFF WIMMERA PRESIDENT WELCOMES PROPOSED ACTIVIST LEGISLATION CHANGE THE president of the Victorian Farmers Federation’s Wimmera chapter has welcomed state government plans to introduce a law that would see farm trespassers fined on the spot. Graeme Maher, a mixed grazing farmer based in Lubeck, also said farmers were constantly looking for ways to improve their treatment of livestock. “(Fines) are just common sense. If these trespassers go on and take your animals, isn’t that theft?,” he said. ‘If they are going on to a number of properties and they pick up weeds, there are a number of possible diseases that are transferable, and that can cause hundreds of dollars of damage.” Mr Maher said he had decided to provide pain relief to sheep that had been mulesed a form of parasite control - even before the
practice became mandatory in Victoria from July 1, because it benefited him financially as well as the animals’ wellbeing. “I know with the virus they (the activists) can’t (trespass), but I think they have lost a lot of traction. It’s in the interests of everyone with stock animals to look after them - it costs too much otherwise. There can be improvement made. “I see cross ewes are making $400, so if you’ve got 1200 sheep and you don’t look after them you could lose close to half a million dollars. If you look after the animals they would look after you, and I don’t think the activists understand that.” Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes tabled the government’s response to the Inquiry into the Impact of Animal Rights Activism on Victorian Agriculture in parliament on
Thursday. It accepted 13 of the 15 recommendations made in February. The government rejected the idea that deciding whether the public interest exemption applies to footage of animal cruelty recorded secretly be codified. Other recommendations the government accepted were to conduct “an audit of the number of biosecurity management plans in place in animal agriculture businesses in Victoria”, and “That Agriculture Victoria and PrimeSafe work with industry to collect examples of benchmark, high-quality animal welfare and biosecurity activities in animal agriculture to better inform the community of
agricultural practices.” The inquiry was conducted following what the government called “several illegal activities in the name of animal activism”. In November 2018, animal activists linked to the group Aussie Farms entered Nhill’s Luv-a-Duck facility and removed some animals to allow them to swim in paddling pools. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy welcomed the news, calling on the state government to implement the fines quickly. The Horsham Times has contacted Aussie Farms for comment on the government’s response.

Fire generally
The red steer, flames, smoke, dreadful wind, choking dust and ash are all terms that have been used to describe out of control fire and we had our share just this last summer on the far east coast. We talk about fire as a friend or foe and how it
does the bush a lot of good to get a burn. All that is true but we are facing a different beast in this age. Now we can have mega fires, utterly out of control and impossible to supress. Fires is a particularly useful, necessary tool in managing public lands. There have been horrendous fires out of control through the last summer along the eastern coast. Eastern Victoria copped it hard last season but the wheel goes round and the west could get a run sometime in the future, we don’t deserve to be in line for such thinking. A lot of studies and great research in recent years has given us better a understanding of how fire was used before the first boat of convicts arrived at Sydney. It is obvious the new regime disregarded the history of fire. It goes a long way to explaining why the bush now is as volatile as it has ever been. I used to wonder why those early settlers could describe riding a horse through the bush at a gallop and now when you inspect
the same areas, the bush can be so thick its difficult to walk. Rather than trying to burn large blocks of land, called cool burns in off season, we need to think more strategically. The whole block cannot and should not be burned too often because the real values and assets of wildlife and vegetation could be lost. The Forest Fire department deals with fire on crown lands and the CFA tackles the farms and freehold, buildings and towns. They all do a great job but sometimes after an epic struggle. There are areas of western Victoria where fire should be called on more often to reduce fuel loads. And lots of places where fire should only be used carefully. We, as a community need to be aware of the plans and thought processes involved in preparing for a summer ahead. The impact of destructive fires on wildlife and humans can be both expensive and traumatic.

Jobs on offer for COVID-19 impacted residents THE Wimmera Catchment Authority is encouraging anyone in need of work to “throw their hat in the ring” and apply for one of 20 new positions. The positions involve six months of employment at the CMA and will provide onthe-job training and the chance to obtain new qualifications, chief executive David Brennan said. The positions are being funded by the state government as a part of its $50 million Agriculture Workforce Plan designed to respond to the impact of COVID-19. Mr Brennan said anyone interested in the roles should register online via https://www. vic.gov.au/workingforvictoria. Successful applicants will then be matched with positions through Working for Victoria, the state government’s initiative to help
jobseekers find work and employers find workers during the coronavirus pandemic. Mr Brennan said people did not need relevant prior experience and the roles would be flexible to the successful applicants. “Those positions can literally be hosted from anywhere,” he said. “Essentially it will be full-time but if people choose to work on a part-time or flexible arrangement, we will be more than accommodating. “We’re hoping some will be in the West Wimmera, some in the Northern Grampians, some to the north in Hindmarsh and Yariambiack. “We’ll not only be giving these people that have been affected by COVID-19 work, but we’ll also be doing training so people will build skills, should they ever wish to branch off further into agriculture or deliver
SILO ART FOR ST ARNAUD
environmental services. “They’ll have some of the appropriate tickets and qualifications to do that.” The roles will enable the CMA to boost current projects with extra hands as well as consult with its partners on other potential projects. “They’ll be delivering a range of really great sustainable agriculture outcomes for the Wimmera,” Mr Brennan said. “That will be things like managing pests, plants and animals. “We know that they cost agriculture and the environment millions of dollars per year so we’ll have these people working a range of partners, whether they are councils working on roadside weeds, or working with farmers … we’ll have a range of different projects, tasks and organisations they’ll be involved with. “Having the amount of labour to help those
people will be a tremendous advantage. “We’ll put the call out to all community groups that we work with and encourage people with good ideas for projects to get in touch with us. “ Mr Brennan said after the six months concluded there was the potential for future work. “I expect there will be some long term outcomes from this program, whether with us or with other people,” he said. “Agriculture is our biggest industry and creates a lot of jobs and there is always high demand for workers, particularly seasonal workers, or even with value-adding in agriculture. “So there is a lot of opportunity for people who have never had that exposure with agriculture - this would be a great program to get a taste of agriculture from.”
• One of St Arnaud artist Kyle Torney’s murals in St Arnaud.
JessieAnne Gartlan A GIANT mural on the side of a silo will represent St Arnaud’s gold mining history after local artist Kyle Torney received government funding. While the funding amount had not yet been disclosed, it comes from a total $550,000 that has been awarded to five arts projects across Victoria. Mr Torney - who has already painted five murals around St Arnaud and close to 20 across Victoria will also paint a mural on a second silo depicting a local resident as part of the project. The two silos are both on McMahon Street and Mr Torney said they will add to the silo art trail that has become a major drawcard for tourists heading to western Victoria. “Local cafe owners have told me they’ve seen a boost in tourists since I did the other murals in towns,” he said. “When I’ve been painting down the main street in town I was amazed at how many people were coming through just to come on the silo art trail. There were people from Western Australia and Queensland who had done a loop. “They said ‘we heard there was this mural in town so we thought we’d come through’. “We’re hoping to get more people to visit St Arnaud and see what we’ve got to offer.” Mr Torney said the gold mining scene was chosen because of the town’s rich gold mining history, which dates back to the 1850s. The St Arnaud Gold Project, run by Navarre Minerals, continues to build on that long-running history. “When we did our designs I ran them through the local paper,” Mr Torney said. “By a long shot the most popular designs were the ones that paid homage to gold mining. “I brought a few different views forwards, some
were more sports based because St Arnaud also has a strong sports community, but the designs that were gold mining based were the most popular. “For the second silo, we held a competition in order to raise some funding for the project and the winner happened to be a local lady, so she will be depicted on there in a manner that we feel fits St Arnaud.” The designs were still being finalised but Mr Torney said he expected to start the projects in July. Each giant mural averages around $100,000, he said. “That will cover all of the preparation work, preparing the ground for the cherry picker, covering the cherry picker and the supplies and everything,” he said. The funding comes from the state government’s Creative Activations Fund. A total of five projects were selected including St Arnaud, Wedderburn, Picola and Bendigo, while a fifth initiative will render Gertrude Street in Fitzroy through the lens of First Peoples. The state government said the fund was inspired by the success of the Silo Art Trail in the Wimmera Mallee, which has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors and reinvigorated local towns. The Creative Activations Fund is about harnessing creativity for the benefit of Victorians. Applications for round two of the Creative Activations Fund will open in August 2020 and will prioritise projects in the Wimmera Mallee region. For program guidelines, visit creative.vic. gov.au. “These exciting projects help us imagine a brighter future – and provide more reasons to explore our regions,” Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes said. “They’ll provide a critical boost to local economies and communities, kickstarting our visitor economy when it is safe to do so.”

Friday, June 12, 2020 - THE HORSHAM TIMES 11
How a Rupanyup farmer’s passion for innovation rubbed off on the industry By Alexander Darling ANDREW Weidemann never went into politics, but for a time, Victorian parliament was something of a second home to him. The Rupanyup farmer and Grain Producers Australia chairman spent many hours in the late 2000s on Melbourne’s Spring Street, as part of an ultimately successful push to allow Victorian farmers to grow genetically modified crops. As part of the Queen’s Birthday 2020 celebrations, he has been made a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to primary industry. Mr Weidemann said he considered improving the uptake in genetically modified crops his greatest achievement, given genetic modification is now providing benefits to other industries including medicine. “I spent a lot of time at parliament talking in forums that were arranged to try and educate politicians,” he said. “I remember at the time there was a lot of negativity, I went through a lot of letters and calls from people against the science. When I started pushing for it I think it was 30 (percent) for and 70 percent against, and I think today most people see it as accepted science, particularly with the uptake of crops bred from that technology. (GM) is really leading the charge in terms of environmental gains.” Mr Weidemann said he was “humbled by the fact someone thought enough of me” to nominate him for an honour. Born in Minyip in 1965 to parents Noel and Gwenda, Mr Weidemann said he was “essentially indoctrinated” into a life in agriculture. “From an early age I was going out with Dad to feed the sheep, and driving a header at harvest with my older sister Rhonda when I was 11,” he said. “I used to pray for days when the road to Stawell was flooded so we could get a few days off. “My high school English teacher used to get quite irate with me for continuing to write about agriculture in everything,” he said. “It wasn’t long after, when I was 14, that I made the change to go down to Stawell Technical College, which had more farmorientated things like welding and engineering. I went to Longerenong College after that and ended up with an Advanced Diploma in Agronomy.” Mr Weidemann’s time as a leader in agriculture began when he joined the Victorian Farmers Federation Rupanyup branch aged 18 and became its secretary. “The branch at the time was experiencing a bit of a downturn, so they were trying to reinvigorate it by getting young people involved. Myself, Peter Taylor and David Matthews got involved at that level, and then I became president when I was 22,” he said. “At that time our interest was always in growing stuff, so we turned the branch essentially into what we called Wimmera
Horsham sold down the river? Not on Gary’s watch By Alexander Darling
Farming Systems, and then we merged with the Birchip Cropping Group in 1998. “I’ve always had a passion for innovation and looking at new technologies, I think I’ve been really fortunate to have been involved with good people that have encouraged me to keep going.” Mr Weidemann later served as a Wimmera representative on the VFF’s grains group policy council in 2003. He became GPA chair in 2013. Mr Weidemann said a “turning point” in his life came in 2001, when he travelled to the US and Canada to view techniques in precision agriculture and GM crops. “I did a week’s training at the University of Saskatchewan in GM crops,” he said. “(VFF grain groups members) Ian Hastings and Ron Hards asked me to get more involved with my passion for research, and I ended up being the chairman for the biotech committee for the VFF, which lobbied the government to allow farmers access to GM crops. “In 2008 we grew one of the first GM canola crops in Victoria on our farm. We started trial work from one of my connections at (agricultural biotechnology company) Monsanto America and moved on from there.” Mr Weidemann is also passionate about giving farmers access to the open market, involved in bringing grain finance business Agfarm to Victoria in the late 2000s. “In 2007 there was an enormous amount of straw farms with contracts they had taken because they had a season that started like this and it didn’t rain again,” he said, “So there were a lot of people in financial difficulty which is why I was passionate about getting brokerage into the state.” Mr Weidemann thanked his family for their support. He has three children with wife Julie, with his eldest son running his own farm, his daughter working as a schoolteacher in Shepparton and his youngest son a diesel mechanic apprentice at Emmets and John Deere. “People at home help to support you while you are away and keep things running, so that’s important,” he said.
IT’S somewhat fitting that Gary Aitken was recognised on Queen’s Birthday weekend, this of all years. With sports, the arts and restaurants all only now awaking from their coronavirus hibernations, many Horsham residents have had to turn to nature as a source of leisure. They have access to natural wonders in their backyard thanks in no small part to Mr Aitken. The 83-year-old has been an active member of the Wimmera River Improvement Committee for more than 20 years. In that time, he has helped maintain the lagoons and wetlands that dot the river’s passage through Horsham and Weir Park. “(Before the committee) The river looked like an open paddock without any trees, it just was bare,” he said. “We were also the instigators of the Anzac footbridge.” Mr Aitken was born in Hopetoun in 1937, the son of blacksmith Jack Aitken and his wife Myrtle. As a child he frequented the watering hole near his house, Lake Lascelles. “The back verandah was open to the sounds of the swamp, the frogs, the crickets, the nightbirds, and of course living so close to the lake that was my playground,” he said. “That was probably where my love for all things natural started. I grew up during the Second World War, and you had to make your own fun, there was no better place to do that than the lake.” Mr Aitken entered the workforce as a motor mechanic, before becoming a share farmer in Brim when marrying his wife of more than 60 years, Heather. The couple later moved to Horsham. He has previously been recognised with the Dame Phyllis Frost Award, given to outstanding individuals involved with the Keep Victoria
Beautiful initiative, and Horsham Rural City Council’s citizen of the year award in 2010 . He said receiving an Order of Australia Medal was a particularly special honour. “The proudest thing I could ever be is an Australian, it’s just beyond words to think you’ve been awarded,” he said. “The people who have received this award before I have so much respect for, and to think I was singled out and have been honoured with it - you just feel so humble.” Mr Aitken thanked other members of Landcare groups in the Wimmera that had given their time to maintaining the environment. He is now a WRIC representative on the Community Reference Group charged with developing an action plan to activate Horsham’s Riverfront through the city. He is optimistic any decisions the group makes will be for the wellbeing of people. “Whatever takes place won’t please everyone, but let’s hope the wider community can appreciate the end result,” Mr Aitken said. “This is what I’m all about: Getting people to slow down and enjoy what nature has to offer.”

Respiratory centre opens in Horsham “We also ask individuals with respiratory symptoms not to enter our main GP clinic building so that other patients in need of regular services and ongoing care, such as for pregnancy and mental health, aren’t potentially exposed to the virus. “Assistance from a distance is key – we will still give you assistance, but from a distance.” Ms Wilson also said that staff expected to see an increase in people accessing the service as the cold season kicks in and said patients shouldn’t be put off by the protective gear the doctors use, which she said could look “intimidating” to anyone going in for testing. “We would like people to not be intimidated by it but to understand that we are trying to protect ourselves and not passing things onto
other people,” she said. Western Victoria Primary Health Network is supporting the initiative, and acting chief executive Tony Ficca said the clinic would ease the burden on hospitals. “The acute hospitals have a role in managing very unwell patients, but the primary care sector can take the lead in testing and monitoring mild-to-moderate cases that do not require inpatient care,” he said. GP-led Respiratory Clinics are part of the Australian Government’s $2.4 billion National Health Plan in responding to COVID-19. A hospital respiratory clinic was opened earlier this year at Stawell Regional Health. So far the Wimmera region has experienced a total of eight confirmed cases.
• Dr David Wilson tests a patient at the new Lister House Respiratory Centre.
JessieAnne Gartlan WIMMERA residents experiencing respiratory symptoms can now be tested for COVID-19 at the Horsham Respiratory Clinic, located next to Lister House on Baillie Street. The clinic is being led by general practitioners, who will be available at the clinic for appointments between the hours of 3pm-5pm weekdays. Patients will be able to seek sociallydistanced assistance without coming into contact with other patients at the regular GP clinic.
The clinic welcomed its first patient on Wednesday June 4. Anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms is encouraged to use the service. Lister House medical clinic operations manager Amanda Wilson said people could make an appointment for the clinic at Lister House or be referred by their doctor. They could also book online using a third party booking system called www.hotdoc. com.au and searching for the Horsham Respiratory Clinic. “The main thing to remember is to refrain from going out into the community unless essential,” Ms Wilson said.
THE PRINCIPLES GUIDING A KANIVA STALWART By Alexander Darling UP until five years ago, Bruce Meyer had lived in the same house his entire life. He has only ever lived in Kaniva. While the population has dropped and services such as car dealerships and grocery shops moved on, he has stayed, and dedicated his life to enriching the town and the region. Currently serving his seventh term as mayor of the West Wimmera Shire, Mr Meyer has been recognised with a Medal of the Order of Australia this Queen’s Birthday for services to local government. Mr Meyer started his first term as a councillor on the shire of Kaniva, before it merged with Arapiles, Kowree and Glenelg Shires to become the West Wimmera in 1995. He was the new shire’s inaugural mayor. Mr Meyer considers the sealing of Vivians Road north of Kaniva to be a major achievement in his more than quarter century on council. He is also happy to have seen improvements in all the region’s towns. “When the shire started off, you’d go to Goroke and it almost looked like a deserted town,” he said. “There have been streetscape works trying to spruce the town up. It wasn’t a matter of social engineering, you just always see roads that need an upgrade or towns that were very light on footpaths.” Mr Meyer was brought up on the family farm by parents George and Edna, and has been working on the property ever since completing year 12. His two sons now work the farm after he moved into Kaniva in 2015, making them the fifth generation of the same family to work the land. He also has a daughter living in Nhill. “(My) long-term hope is that we can pick up
some industry and be able to build the population numbers up again,” he said. “At council we would like to see a malt factory (because) we grow enormous amounts of barley around here.” Mr Meyer has also helped with the administration of Kaniva’s cricket and bowling clubs and agricultural show society, judged crop competitions and conducted hundreds of services as session clerk at the town’s Presbyterian Church. Mr Meyer, who will stand for election again in October, said he was guided by the principle that good councillors worked for the community, not themselves. “So long as you’ve got good communication skills and can explain decisions to people, I think most people are very understanding,” he said. “If people want to know something, explain it to them and the problem goes away. If you tell people to put up with it you haven’t got a very long life in local government.”

Western Highway opponents lose four year court case By JessieAnne Gartlan OPPONENTS of the Western Highway duplication project between Buangor and Ararat have lost a legal challenge four years in the making in the Victorian Supreme Court. Members of the environmental group Keep The Original Route Supporters lodged the case against VicRoads and the Planning Minister in 2016, and Justice Richards handed her decision down via email on June 4 after a hearing in March. The group challenged the Planning Minister’s assessment of the original Environmental Effects Statement, prepared by VicRoads in 2012. The EES formed the basis of the route that was chosen for the highway project, which will duplicate or expand the highway between Beaufort and Stawell. However, it has been significantly delayed due to multiple legal challenges and protests from environmentalists and Traditional Owners. Had the plaintiffs won it could have triggered a review of the route. Barrister David O’Brien argued that a gross underestimation by VicRoads of the number of large old trees it would destroy for the project rendered the EES invalid, along with the subsequent approval for the compulsory acquisition of farm land belonging to the Mackenzie family in Buangor. Justice Richards said in her emailed judgement that the plaintiffs had no grounds for their claim that the EES was improperly assessed. All other matters raised by the plaintiffs were based on the argument that the EES was not valid, and were therefore dismissed. Mr O’Brien also cited an error on VicRoads’ part in its EES. In 2015 the EES stated 221 large old trees would be destroyed by roadworks. However, an assessment later found an estimated 1645 large old trees had been removed. In 2018 the plaintiffs added a challenge to the Planning Minister’s decision to exempt himself from some sections of the Planning Act in order to get works re-started after they had to be stopped due to the expiration of Amendment C27. The amendment applied to the compulsory acquisition of land from the Mackenzie’s and expired due to an “administrative oversight”, according to the judgement. However, Judge Richardson ruled that the Environmental Effects Statement was valid and the Minister was free to make those exemptions within the Planning Act regardless, as the Minister did not need to have a valid EES in order to make them. Both Major Road Projects Victoria and KORS Inc were approached for comment but neither responded by deadline.
• Works continue on the Western Highway duplication project.

RESILIENCE, a collaborative mindset and confidence in change management are some of the outcomes community leaders can gain from a series of online forums this month. As coronavirus social distancing restrictions ease, community leaders likely need to adapt their practices and planning to recognise changing times. Wimmera Development Association and its long-running leadership development program, Leadership Wimmera, will host a community leaders series of lunchtime forums during June. The series begins on Tuesday, June 16 addressing the topic: What is community leadership? Northern Grampians Shire Council chief executive Liana Thompson and Uniting Wimmera executive officer Josh Koenig, also a Horsham Rural City councillor, will share their leadership journeys and what community leadership means to them. On Tuesday, June 23 at a forum discussing collaboration, Wimmera Health Care Group’s Amelia Crafter will share how the organisation worked with health officials, governments and the community to fund and build the Wimmera Cancer Centre, based in Horsham. The final forum, on June 30, will discuss how people and groups can create a “new normal” in changing environments. Jo Bourke will share the challenges and successes of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline project that changed the way rural properties access water. Christine Kotur will lead the discussions. Ms Kotur provides expert professional services in the fields of strategy, governance, leadership development, complex inquiries, reviews and facilitation. She is a highly regarded independent chair, company director and strategic advisor to CEOs, senior executives, board chairs and directors, councillors and committees. “Services, business models and policies are reshaping right now, by forces beyond our
control,” Ms Kotur said. “It’s time to pause, get on the balcony and draw down every lesson, experience, story, idea and good advice you heard, probably thinking you’d ‘come back to that later’. Come back to that knowledge now. “People will need strong community leaders more than ever and that means we can’t stop learning.” Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said Ms Kotur was an outstanding presenter whose experience with and learnings from government inquiries and Royal Commissions had earned her immense respect. Ms Kotur is Leadership Victoria’s Leader in Residence. “Chris is one of the best in the business in understanding how communities move through crisis. She will share what helps communities bounce back better than ever, how others reinvented themselves, and why some really struggled to pull through,” Mr Sounness said. He said the association was offering the forums at no cost as a way to support the community as it responded to the health crisis. “COVID-19 is no different to any crisis in the community – people need to stand up. Our challenge at this point is to define how we, as a region, emerge post COVID-19 and keep working together for the best possible outcomes for our community and our people,” Mr Sounness said. “Chris Kotur believes that local leaders stepping up can lead to successful communities; if leadership is left to governments or other parties then recovery is far harder. “Our forums are all about local stories and local leadership, sharing ‘warts and all’ their experiences so others can learn from them.” The forums will run via Zoom and open at 12.15pm for a 12.30pm start. Recordings will be available. People can register by emailing jgrimble@ wda.org.au listing the forums they wish to attend, or visiting www.wda.org.au

Real Estate TREE CHANGERS FUEL GROWING REAL ESTATE MARKET encompasses Warracknabeal, Donald, St Arnaud and Dimboola. “Last year was a pretty good year,” Mr Hadley said. “We sold well over 100 properties and it is reflective of the region. The Wimmera Mallee had a good year and the farmers had a good year, so that was reflected in the real estate market in the towns that we cover.” Like all businesses, COVID-19 had an impact on the agency. The uncertainty surrounding the virus made people more reticent to put their properties on the market. “There was demand there but supply was low,” Mr Hadley said. “People who were thinking about selling probably put it on the backburner unless they had to sell, but the demand was still very good. “People who were game enough to put their property on the market did see excellent
prices during COVID-19, because there’s a shortage of listings throughout the region. “Those people that took the leap of faith got really good prices for their properties.” Mr Hadley said it was “easier said than done” to take that leap of faith, as the situation was constantly changing. “It was unknown - people didn’t know what was going to happen,” he said. As to the future, Mr Hadley said it was still uncertain but if the country could avoid a second wave, he predicted a strong recovery for the local market. “If we can stay away from that second wave we will start seeing some normality, although it will be a new normal,” he said. “What’s going to happen I can only guess.” His message to anyone considering buying in the Wimmera Mallee region? “It’s a lot easier to practice social distancing in Warracknabeal than it is in Melbourne.”

AVAILABLE RENTALS LOW prices and clean living are continuing to attract people to the Wimmera Mallee region, says NorthWest Real Estate director John Hadley. Mr Hadley said Melbournians were catching onto cheaper prices for better properties and becoming tree changers. “They are people who have had enough of Melbourne and the suburbs and are looking to get out of town and find a better lifestyle for their kids,” he said. The opportunity to snap up a three or four bedroom home situated on several acres was proving irresistible.
“People can’t believe you can buy something with 10 or 15 acres, and how much room that gives a family instead of their small suburban block of maybe 400 or 500 square metres,” Mr Hadley said. “Even a quarter block gets them excited it’s twice the size for a fraction of the price.” Mr Hadley said the opportunities in the region couldn’t be any more different from the Melbourne market. “You go from having to have a $50,000 or $60,000 deposit (in Melbourne) to having to have a $10,000 or $15,000 deposit.” The agency covers a broad area that

YARDING: 679 CHANGE: 14 Agents offered a mostly plain to average quality penning of 679 cattle, 14 more, to a near regular field of buyers. Prices were close to unchanged for young cattle, bulls, grown steers and most restocker sales but cows averaged fully equal and up to 10c/kg dearer in places. Grown steers were generally leaner in condition and heifers made up a greater share of the young cattle sale. The yarding comprised of 91 grown steers, 185 young cattle and grown heifers, 390 cows and 13 bulls. Nine C2 heifer vealers sold to processors for 371c while restockers paid from 358c to 383c/kg for the other handful. Yearlings to the processors sold from 326c to 376c and restockers paid from 310c to 376c/kg. Plainer quality yearlings sold from 220c to 270c, with three head pushing out to 315c and restockers paid to
SHEPPARTON
YARDING: 1660 CHANGE: 260 There were 1,000 exports and 660 trade cattle penned. A much larger offering of beef cows this week, with the majority having plenty of weight and condition. The dairy cow numbers were reduced and more were in the lighter weighted categories. With a short working week and some of the usual selling centers absent this week, competition from exporters was stronger on cows and prices lifted by 2c to 13c/kg on both the beef and dairy lines. Friesian steers gained 10c to 18c/kg. Grown steers to the processor were firm to a little easier, however feedlotter competition was strengthened. The trade cattle met stronger competition from the feedlotting sector which helped lift some yearling steer prices, finished yearling heifers to the trade met a cheaper trend. The best of the vealers made to 420c/ kg. The yearling steers to processors made from 362c to 412c, while the feeder steer portion made from
SWAN HILL
YARDING: 700 CHANGE: 116 There was a slightly larger yarding of 700 head, although most of the increase was across plainer cattle more suited to restockers and feedlots rather than processing. The market was cheaper, showing some significant price corrections on a fortnight ago when Swan Hill recorded an exceptionally strong sale for heavy supplementary fed steers and heifers. Quality was a factor in the weaker result, with the fed cattle not showing the same carcase hardness and finish of the previous sale. Bidding from domestic processors was at more subdued levels, with buyers only willing to push above 400c/kg for top quality vealers and yearlings that were in the genuine trade weight range of 330 to 440kg. Heavy supplementary fed steers and heifers eased by 20c to 30c/kg, while the more nicely weighted domestic types eased by 10c to 15c/kg. Plainer types were not as affected, in part due to strong restocking and feedlot

312c/kg. The few C3 grown steers made from 320c to 355c with restockers picking up most of the C2’s from 330c to 370c/kg. Manufacturing D2 steers sold from 284c to 293c/kg. The grown heifers made from 292c to 332c/kg. Several pens of good quality C3 beef cows made from 276c to 298c with a top sale at 306c/kg. The better dairy cows made from 260c to 288c with leaner types selling from 218c to 268c and poor conditioned dairy cows started at 130c/kg. Beef bulls sold from 276c to 300c and dairy bulls made from 215c to 260c/kg.

365c to 408c to average 395c/kg. The yearling heifer portion made from 341c to 405c to average 378c/kg for the C3’s. The 400 to 500kg steers reached 396c, the feeder portion made to 399c and the 500 to 600kg steers made from 340c to 400c/kg. The best of the over 600kg bullocks reached 355c/kg. There were some handy Friesian steers which attracted greater interest this sale. Prices ranged from 280c to 300c/kg. The beef cows made from 270c to 312c to average 302c/kg for the D4’s. The heavy Fresians made to 298c but the dairy cows, 400 to 520kg, saw larger numbers and made from 206c to 266c to average 243c for the D1’s which was 7c to 13c/kg higher.

support. The best quality young steers and heifers, mostly Charolais and Limousin-cross, sold from 406c to a top of 438c to record averages of between 410c and 420c/kg. Any well bred lines of calves under 320kg were keenly supported by local restockers and tracked above 400c/kg to cost from $1,100 to $1,300/head in dollar per head terms. Heavier supplementary fed steers sold to 398c to average 374c/kg. Grown heifers offering buyers reasonable shape and good finish sold to 405c to average 384c/kg. Export cattle also sold to cheaper trends across a plainer and limited offering. There was no real stand-out females in the cow run, with the best beef bodies making from 280c to a top of 305c/kg. More Friesian cows came through the ring, making from 224c to 273c/kg. No genuine bullocks to quote. Crossbred and Friesian steers to processors sold from 286c to 320c/kg.

ONE OF THE LAST LIGHT HORSEMEN An Interview with Ces McArthur, Hamilton, Victoria.
IN June 2000 I arrived at Ces McArthur’s home in Hamilton to chat with him over a cuppa. Ces was one of the Western District’s prominent McArthur family and had been one of the last of the traditional horse-mounted light horsemen from the late 1930’s militia regiments – the famous Fourth Light Horse. A legendary bunch of blokes, now nearly all gone. And I suspect we will never see the likes of them again. ‘I was born in Hamilton in 1910; I’ll be ninety next April (2001). I had rheumatic fever and had a hydatids cyst on my lung when I was young. ‘I had set some traps around Mirranatwa one day to catch some rabbits and I was riding my horse across the paddock. I’d had a lot of trouble and I was going around my traps in the morning and the cyst burst. I nearly drowned. I got to the doctor and they operated on me. ‘Effie McArthur, Frank Neat and myself, we all lived in Victoria Valley about a mile apart in a triangle and we all contracted the same thing more or less at the same time. We all lived in a triangle about a mile each way from each other. ‘I’ve got a hole there now, I went through the army and when the war was over, they told me I shouldn’t have been there! ‘We had a farm out in Victoria Valley - ‘Beverlie’ - Andrew Beveridge has got it now. ‘I lived next to the CFA garage. We were down in Victoria Valley, further down near Crawford’s. Dad was born just across the road from the Mirrinatwa house. We’ve been in the district all our lives. ‘Dad was an amateur jockey; he did a lot of amateur riding. There used to be races at Victoria Valley, Morella, Balmoral all those places. Oh well, I used to ride to school - I suppose I was 4 or 5 when I started. ‘No, no. Horses never worried me at all. ‘Falls? Oh yes, quite a few falls. In the early days when we lived in Victoria Valley, Dad and I had the buggy and two horses. We drove up to the gate near the house. Dad got out to open the gate and left me sitting in the buggy and the horses took off. They went right around the paddock and back to the gate and stopped. I was still sitting in the seat. I was only little then, I don’t remember much about it, I can just remember it happening. I don’t think I panicked; I just sat and hung on I suppose. ‘Oh yes you had quite a few falls. ‘My grandparents, they used to have all that Wannon Valley up to Borough Huts in grazing licences. We were out there one day; dad and I were coming home if I remember rightly. I don’t know what he was doing; I think he was leading some sheep along and his horse reared back, I had the reins twisted around my arm, which you shouldn’t do. It pulled me back over my own horse and I landed on a stone right in the middle of my back. I was just going to school then, but I’ve had a lot of trouble with it ever since. I don’t think I broke anything; you didn’t worry about it in those days.
Just got back on my horse and rode home. ‘I’ve had a bad back ever since pretty well. You’ve got to have five or 6 falls before you can ride a horse properly, so they say. We had plenty of spills. ‘My sisters and other brother, we had to milk before we went to school. I used to ride back across to my grandparents and stay with them. I had a lot of general duties on the farm driving horse teams. I had a team of five on a set of harrows. One horse got a fright and he went round and round until he tipped over the harrows and the other horses on top of him! There were quite a few injuries there for a while with the harrows upturned - a very touchy situation for a while. ‘Dad worked in Walters chaff store and when I was about 4 we went to Sea Lake. Then we came back to the Wannon (Victoria Valley). I got lost out there for a while. I went out looking for my father where I thought he was, and he wasn’t there. They lost me for a while! I don’t know whether a dog found me or the dog with me was found but I was only about 5 or 6. ‘In 1936 it was, I joined the Light Horse. Let’s see, I would have been about 25 or 26. I don’t know really how I got interested in the Light Horse. Dick Burrows, he was interested in the militia evidently. He had land out there and he formed this light horse unit. There were 7 or 8 of us altogether. I think we got up to about 10. They used to come up from Warrnambool in the end. ‘Norm Weston, Mervyn Crawford, Hector Haye, Bob Lewin - oh, we had a bit of fun together. We did get a bit of pay for supplying our own horse, I think - saddle, bridle and neck rope. There’s a special way of tying that too. I don’t know if I could do it now. It went around the horse’s neck, came back and back took it up like that and back and wound it around and around and the end fitted through the loop then pulled it tight. ‘Mainly we used to meet down where the old Vic Valley school was, in that paddock there. Dad owned that paddock. ‘Dick Burrows was our lieutenant he was our leader really. I don’t think he was in the light horse before; there was just something to be formed and he might have known somebody in the light horse I would think and it went from there. ‘Boots, leggings, breeches, jacket, hat and there was a period where we were issued with a walking-out uniform too. It was just a pair of ordinary trousers with a maroon stripe down the leg. ‘You had to get your own emu plumes. But you don’t ask where they came from; there’s a few emus with patches off them! You used to take a patch of skin, that’s all it was. I think the breast was the best part I think; it was the thickest part, I think. You didn’t really want the big, long feathers you just wanted the medium feathers. Some of them had big long ones but, it didn’t matter, but they seemed to be a better feather the shorter ones. ‘When they got a bit ragged you went and got another bit! Terrible

thing to say isn’t it. Oh, we generally had a few extra bits. We used to sell them every now and then, oh there was always something going on. I don’t know what we got; we didn’t get much anyhow. Oh, I was very proud of them, yes, yes very. ‘It was very special and they looked impressive when I was telling you I did these escorts in Melbourne; that’s when it was impressive. Everything was polished up and all your ropes and (horse) necktie were white. It did look special then. ‘Mainly just boot polish; light tan was used on the bandolier. The 303’s were carried in a big type of bucket on the saddle. The swords were mainly ceremonial. ‘We did a fair bit of tent pegging. There was a horse-sports competition in Warrnambool; tent pegging, rescue race, pick up your partner and get him on the horse behind you and go helter-skelter over the line. Horse over hurdle, jumping in pairs and fours it wasn’t bad a bit of fun then when we got to the machine guns. A horse with a machine gun pack on and you had to get that off and get it set up. ‘Four of us from our regiment, we reckon we broke the world record we had to set up a dismantled Vickers machine gun for firing position then dismantle it and get it back out of the road. ‘We did it in 7 seconds and we reckoned we were pretty good. That was Ted Price from Heywood, Lindsay Edwards from Horsham, he’s dead now, and myself; three of us that’s right, three of us. Yep we had to fill it with water; I was the water carrier. ‘We were lying flat out on the ground and a bloke fired the gun. Then we had to carry the gun forward, set it up on its tripod the other fellow had the ammunition belt on the other side, I was on the right-hand side with the water can you see to keep it cool. We had to set it up then you get the cease fire then we had to go back about ten yards, I think. It took us 7 secs anyhow. We won that day - that was just a brigade competition. They were mainly for recreation more than anything. ‘We had three escorts duties in
Melbourne. You got picked out for it I suppose; the HQ in Warrnambool picked you out. I got picked out three times anyhow to go down. They had trains (here) those days; I’d go to Dunkeld to pick up the train there, you got your pass and everything. Go to Melbourne, you were billeted in Victoria Barracks. ‘You got everything there; you were waited on like fighting cocks waitresses and everything. You had to get all your gear ready, you were just handed a saddle and a bridle and a horse. You had to clean all your gear up because you were handed extra gear for that sort of thing. ‘There were epaulettes around your shoulder that had to be whitened up with Blanco, brass buttons had to be polished. All your bridle buckles and bits had to be polished up; saddle stirrups and anything brass on your saddle had to be polished up. We had about 2 days training of what we had to do. ‘We lined up in front of Government House and the governor and his lady came out and had a look at us and talked to us all and then we formed the escort and away they went down to Station Pier. First of all, we had to ride up to Government House through St Kilda Road and Swanston Street up to Parliament House where we met all the parliamentarians then we had to pick him up again and take him out to Station Pier down past North Melbourne town hall I think it was then. ‘God it was a hot day too, terrible hot day. We were soaked in the finish. Put him on the boat and sent him home. ‘The other occasion when we were down there, same procedure right though – Lord Somers or Stonehaven - anyhow whichever one went from State Governor to Governor General. ‘We picked the State Governor up at Government House, take him down to Parliament House where he was sworn in as Governor General. Then he had to come back with an escort which had to be built up by another eight men, those extra men they had to go from gov house up round the back way and hide behind Parliament House until they were wanted you see. They were good
days. ‘The Lady cried all the way from Government House right through the city. I think the crowd got to her a bit. ‘I had one little incident coming down Bourke Street there, I wouldn’t like it to happen nowadays, I wouldn’t know what would happen. ‘In Bourke Street after we left Parliament House a chap jumped out of the crowd, he went under my horses’ neck and he was trying to shake hands with the Lady. ‘Of course, I had to get rid of him you see, would be a bit serious these days. I had to get him out from under my horses’ neck. ‘If I remember rightly, we were carrying a sword then and I got the sword down on his neck there and pushed him out of the way. The horse just got his neck beside him, the horses knew more about it than we did. It was a wonder he didn’t stand on him. Any other horse would have stood on him. ‘Those horses were supplied by the remount depot - oh, they were very good, pretty well trained. Just like police horses. They were good in crowds; crowds never worried them. It was a good experience. ‘I went through Torquay camp (1940) all the way. We did a lot of training there, we built gun emplacements all-round the beach there at Torquay. We had to man them at night just to watch for things, which they don’t believe nowadays that it ever happened. ‘You had to feed your own horse; you had the nosebag for your horse. At the end of the lines there were the people that had the chaff and that for them. They’d all be dished out to you and you’d feed your horse. There were pickets on the horse line all the time. You had to groom your horse in the morning and look after him generally because he was leg roped, one on each side. ‘Got into a bit of strife occasionally but, oh, you got used to it. The 8th Light Horse - they were sort of next to us (at Torquay) really - they had a bit of a stampede one day. I don’t know how it happened, went through our line and caused a bit of strife. Cont.

LIGHT HORSEMEN CONT. FROM PAGE 23
I don’t think there were any casualties or anything, a bit of turmoil for a while I can tell you. Luckily, they were in a paddock and there were only the exit gates but we blocked them up pretty quick. They didn’t get out into town; some of them might have got out onto the road but very few. ‘Going from Torquay up along the beach to Point Lonsdale, the cliffs are down there. Once you get along there you can’t get out. ‘One chap lost his horse, it just got washed out to sea - yeah, chap next to me really. An extra high wave came in and just took the horse out. Several of them got into trouble but eventually we got through it. ‘We only had lances when we did the escort from Government House to Station Pier. Lances, we never had to use them; they had to be carried; they were an awkward thing. ‘We did section training; number three (of four horsemen) was the horse holder. You’d advance in to a position, three of us would get off and take up a firing position, the third man would take the four horses back into a safe position. ‘There was a certain way you had to hand them to him. The outside horse rein was through the bit of the next one. I was mainly number 2 but we did a bit of everything. ‘I did a bit of horse holding; we were young those days and didn’t mind a bit of a gallop. Oh, it was all right, a full gallop with four horses; you had your hands full. If they get away well, they’re gone. ‘We did different things, picking up your mate on horseback. You called it the rescue race. Your mate would be up the track about a hundred yards or so. You had to go full gallop and pick him up at the gallop. You couldn’t stop to pick him up, if you missed him the first
time you left him there. He had to be ready to swing up behind you. Oh, you’d steady down a little bit but you didn’t stop to pick him up. It got quite easy, you just grabbed the front of the saddle and you can imagine the horse just threw him in the air you see behind you. Of course the natural thing for you to do is lean the other way - it was quite good really. ‘We did a lot of tent-pegging too. It was pretty hard on your hands. Of course your peg which was driven into the ground pretty hard, I think it was about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick; pretty hard wood. Some of them were pine, you were lucky if you got a pine one, you had to gallop past and pick it up with the sword. ‘That was the only time we used the sword. You had to get right down to do it, you were lucky enough to pick it up at times. Sometimes the peg would fly away behind you, slip off the sword. It was a strike though, that was all right. If you strike it right your sword would go right through the peg. ‘When you approach your horse, you’re all right if you come down the side, you can get round behind all right then. Get fairly close to them if you can, that’s the main thing. You don’t come straight up from behind. ‘Same as a dog, if you put your hand out and let him smell your fingers, he’ll very rarely bite you. It’s the same thing as that. ‘Oh, very definitely a love of horses, a real companionship yes; meant everything. We’d poke around through them, see they were all right, make sure they were alright, if you hear any noises, that’s the first thing you’d go and check. My horse was pretty good to me. I think he was about ten years old; his front leg went on him; he had to be
destroyed in the finish. ‘While we were at Pomborneit, we put miles and miles of wire entanglements right through the Stony Rises which has all rusted away now. We dug gun posts all through there too. The idea was that they (the enemy) were going to land on the south coast and come across through there. That was what it was all for. There was miles and miles of it all through there. ‘Pomborneit Hall was the main HQ. There’d probably be bits of wire but it would be pretty rotten by now. I don’t think they picked any of it up. ‘One of our chaps was in ‘Curtin’s Cowboys’; matter of fact I nearly joined it myself but I wasn’t fit according to them so I didn’t get it. They were the Northern Australian Observer Unit; that was their official name. They went up into outback QLD and up into the Gulf there. They were in there on their own; they had it to themselves. They had wild horses and had to break them in. There was a lot of Japs got into Australia up through there; my word there was - a hell of a lot. ‘Japs used to land there every night, down the rivers, they’d come down the rivers. A lot of people don’t know a lot about that war. ‘Hec Hay (Carabeal), Merv Crawford, Doug Beveridge and myself were the section at Vic Valley. Hec Hay used to live near the fire station there. We used to change around a lot. I was made corporal; I was more or less in charge there. I got to sergeant - actually, I was Company Sergeant Major in WA but it was never an official appointment. It was down in my pay book; I’ve got the pay book there to show it. It said appointed company sergeant major. When I was discharged and came back to Royal Park, they said
Protection for vulnerable indigenous history at Dimboola By Alexander Darling A joint initiative has boosted the protection of nine sites near Dimboola important to Traditional Owners. The Wimmera Catchment Management Authority provided Barengi Gadjin Land Council with $100,000 to install 1.2km of bollards and barriers to demarcate the sites, which are near campsites at the Wimmera River Heritage Park. The sites, along the river at the eastern boundary of Little Desert National Park, include deposits of fish shells, artefacts, a European charcoal pit and scar trees. In a statement, Barengi Gadjin Land Council’s Stu Harradine said the landscape was “particularly vulnerable to damage from inappropriate vehicle access”. The Horsham Times contacted Mr Harradine for further comment. On Friday, Parks Victoria said signage had also been installed in the area, recognising Traditional Owners of the land, the Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia and
• Some of the new infrastructure at Wimmera River Heritage Park
Jupagulk peoples. CMA chief executive David Brennan said the sites protected had long been recognised by the region’s Aboriginal community, and were pinpointed after some intensive surveying and mapping of cultural heritage conducted by the authority along the river in 2019.
“The Our Catchments, Our Communities program which we provided the funding under is a state government one that ends this financial year, so we will be interested to see if it is extended,” he said. Mr Brennan said the CMA planned to finish a year-long initiative to pump water from the river to another site of cultural significance, Dimboola’s Ranch Billabong, in the next few weeks. Many generations of Traditional Owners called the billabong home, and it became especially important after the closure of Antwerp’s Ebenezer mission, which operated to convert Aboriginal people to christianity, in the early twentieth century. “We are delivering environmental water to the area for cultural benefits and helping Barengi Gadjin Land Council put in walking tracks,” he said. “Many people speak highly and fondly (of The Ranch), but the Millennium Drought and land management changes meant not as much water made it there.”
well there’s no appointments in the army and they took 6 pence a day from me! Took it from me; 6 pence a day; yeah they took it from me; ‘there’s no appointments in the army’. I did the job for months and months. ‘One little thing too; when we went to camp in Warrnambool, about the last camp I think in Warrnambool there used to be a train go down from here to Warrnambool. We went down by train. I think it was Killarney; the train was stopped there and there was blokes on the siding there bagging onions. Somebody must have said something to them they didn’t like and they took to us with the onions. I think they broke every widow in the train. They pelted us with the onions! ‘Behind the beach at Torquay were the gun emplacements. We used to sit in them all night some nights. We were camped on McGarvie’s property at Pomborneit; he was the Governor. We did a lot of training out through Waurn Ponds and Inverleigh that area. Learning how to get your horses back under cover, that sort of thing. ‘You take those escorts in Melbourne, no one will ever see those again. You were well looked after, had your uniform on you were right. Never had to pay for anything, walk into the pictures or anything. ‘Oh it was a good life I suppose, there’s not a great deal of us left really. ‘Harry and Alistair (McIntyre) they were good men; you could talk to them. Some of them get a few ‘pips’ up and you couldn’t talk to them. We were very lucky; we had a good commanding officer, Jack O’Brien from Casterton, Claude
Moore from Heywood and Jack Kerr from Dartmoor. ‘When we were in WA, we did have a British officer who was a bit of a pain in the neck. The worst ones were the Warrant Officers. ‘One chap joined us in WA and a pommy WO yelled out to him ‘soldier, where do you think you learned your soldiering?’ He stepped forward and came to attention. In Greece and Crete Sir! ‘He never spoke to him again! Oh, they were silly. You can lead an Australian but you can’t bloody well force him. ‘We were very lucky with Jack O’Brien; he was just you-and-I sort of thing. ‘Our Squadron WO was Geoff Storey from Casterton, he was a very clever man. He and I were given a Sten Gun and they said go away for the day and learn how to pull it to pieces. We had to go away for the whole day and just pull it to pieces and put it together again. ‘Jackie McCarthy, he and I used to ride out to Granny’s Flat every Sunday to go fishing for blackfish. We used to ride home in the dark. It’s a wonder we weren’t killed; we never used to worry about tracks we just used to take the shortest way home. We were about 18 or 20 then. One moonlit night there wasn’t much for us young blokes to do so we went and saddled up our horses and went full gallop up to Barrow Head up on the hill up there. Cranky buggers!

Motoring Buying used vehicles safely BUYING a used vehicle over recent years has become more testing than ever with insurance companies selling off repairable write offs or flooded vehicles from Queensland that from the outside look great but come with potential problems. As a buyer for a used car you have many options from where to purchase which include private sale, auction or from a car dealer. When purchasing a car there are numerous things to be aware of which include1. Is the car a repairable write-off? Legislation states that when cars are in an accident they are deemed either a Statutory write off which means they are only good for parts, repairable write-off or repairable. When a car is deemed a repairable write off it has usually sustained considerable damage and although repairable must go through a rigorous procedure to be able to be re-registered again. Unfortunately the value of these cars suffers significantly and as an average are worth around half of their normal value. There are thousands of these on the road and dubious sellers do not always declare this when selling. 2. Clear finance title on vehicle? When the previous owner has had a loan on the car and the vehicle is used as security on the loan. This can be a nightmare when the previous
owner has not paid out the loan before on selling it to you, where you now become liable for the loan. 3. Stolen? With car theft hitting new highs it is not uncommon for stolen vehicles to be sold on the market with obvious repercussions of having your car removed from yourself. It is also possible that stolen engines etc. can be put in a car that is sold later. 4. Airbag recall? This is something that is new to our industry in recent years with a worldwide recall of Takata airbags that are potentially life threatening. As such our Government has bought in strict rules about the repairing and on selling of cars that are affected by these. As such car dealerships are not allowed to on-sell a car that is affected by the recall until it has been fitted with the new airbags. While this sounds easy sometimes there are waiting times of a few months or travel to a larger city to where a dealership is represented for repair. 5. Odometer accuracy? With digital speedos this has made the winding back of kilometers a lot less common than it once was but with a simple replacement of a dash unit it still happens, which is why an owner’s manual and service booklet with a car is very important for two reasons. Firstly it can help prove that

the odometer is in fact correct and equally as important it shows that the car has been correctly serviced and looked after properly. The modern car with improved technology is far less tolerant of poor servicing so this is very important. 6. Engine warning lights? With the modern car this has also become an expensive problem on some cars. While this is most times a simple fix other times it can turn into an expensive nightmare that can cost thousands and some cars are renowned fit more than others. A quick check to make sure that no warning lights are on is important along with the service history. 7. Stamp Duty and Vic Roads Transfer fee. When purchasing a used vehicle the state government levy a 4.2% stamp duty payable on the purchase price of the vehicle along with a Vic Roads transfer fee of $40.70 to transfer ownership into your name. 8. Roadworthy Certificate. In Victoria when a vehicle is sold from one person to another a RWC certificate must be presented to Vic Roads to transfer the ownership over. It is sometimes presumed by the buyer that purchasing from a car dealer is the most expensive way to buy a used vehicle but when you look at the whole package there are reasons why this may appear this way.
When you are looking at prices of vehicles available for sale not all things are equal. A Car dealer is required to advertise the price of a registered vehicle including a Road worthy Certificate, stamp duty and transfer fee where an auction or private seller does not. Having a Drive away price is actually reassuring as when a purchaser comes into a car dealer they know exactly how much the total cost is, however when you purchase a private sale or Auction at presumably a lower price you have to guess (at your peril) how much a RWC will cost and calculate the appropriate stamp duty, then find out if it has clear title, service history, airbag checks etc. When purchasing from a car dealer you are guaranteed clear title from finance and that it won’t be stolen, the car will be airbag checked and/or rectified, a RWC will be supplied and most franchised car dealers will have a strict guideline on vehicles they keep to sell with correct odometer and service history etc. Plus dealers are obliged to provide a warranty on cars under 10 years of age and have travelled under 160,000 Km’s. I know that all Wimmera franchised car dealers are very fussy on vehicles they stock. By following the above check list will help you reduce the risk of buying your next used car. Gavin Morrow

GREYHOUND RACES STILL WINNING
AS a precursor to our weekly article, Horsham Greyhound Racing Club would like to congratulate, and thank, The Horsham Times on becoming another local source for community news and information and we wish them a most successful future. Victorian Greyhound Racing, as an industry, has not been immune to the Covid-19 pandemic, but through extensive planning and proactive control has been able to be one of the few racing jurisdictions around the world to continue a full racing program. Albeit, without the public on course and no dining, bar or TAB facilities which has hit all Victoria clubs in the pocket, but to maintain the racing has provided real relief and entertainment to many around the world stuck in lock down with little, to no, sport available. Horsham Greyhounds have continued to race in their traditional spot of Tuesday and in recent
months local trainers have excelled regularly leading in winners at their local track, and around the state to shine a light on the abilities of our greyhounds and the trainers charged with their care. Tuesday saw Bill and Helen Hartigan (Horsham) lead back Kraken Hero as winner of race 11 over the 410m. The win was Kraken Hero’s ninth win for his career, and first under the care of the Hartigans since recently transferring to the Horsham kennel and came in a time of 23.34 seconds when leading all the way from box two. Hartigan’s win followed on from successful trips to Ballarat and Warrnambool in the last week for Wimmera based trainers with Cliff Smith (Horsham) and Garry George (Beulah) successful at Warrnambool on Thursday last week with Lava You Beauty and Super Big respectively. Heather and Bruce Baxter (Murtoa) had a good week with two winners at Ballarat, Saffron Lace on Saturday

GOLF SWINGS INTO FIRST PLACE
At the Horsham Golf Club, acting manager Janene Coutts said the club WIMMERA golf clubs are experiencing has been signing up new members each a surge in popularity following the lifting of week. COVID-19 restrictions. “All our weekly golf days have seen an increase in participants and Saturdays have been seeing over 140 golfers taking to the course,” she said. “As a club we have been extremely well supported by our members, and also individuals from the broader community since reopening on May 12.” Horsham club committee member and handicapper Julie Wirth said the combination of travel restrictions and no football or netball season meant people were looking for other forms of leisure. “A lot of our members have not been able to travel to warmer destinations, as well as football not being played (has meant) new members joining up,” she said. “It is really good to see our field sizes increasing, obviously because of the travel restrictions.” Murtoa Golf Club committee member Graeme Maher said sporting families were now turning up to the club to play together. “We’re just a small club and we TALK TO US ABOUT HOME DELIVERY. would normally have 15 to 20 turn up to play on a Saturday and we’re now getting 25 or maybe even 30,” he said. 116 Main Street, “A lot of those are footballers or Stawell 3380 footballers’ fathers.

welcomes
The Horsham Times to our stands.
The club now has to replan its year to cater to the increased numbers. “We’re working our way through the processes,” he said. Mr Maher said the increase in numbers was encouraging after years of “steady decline”. “I can only speak for our club but it’s basically been in decline for an extended length of time,” he said.
“It has been caused by a number of things. Drink driving laws were an influence, so people weren’t as inclined to stay around and socialise. The (money) put through the bar, which funds the club, was less.” The increasing size of farms in regional areas was another issue, Mr Maher said. “Speaking from an agricultural view, in the last 10 years the size
of the farms has doubled, so there are half as many potential people about,” he said. “I’m as guilty of that as anyone. To stay in business that’s what we do but that requires fewer people.” But now, Maher said people were just glad to get out into the fresh air and get some exercise. “It’s a pleasure to be playing,” he said.

SAINTS GO ON THE OF-FENCE-IVE By Alexander Darling
THE Horsham Saints Football Club’s greatest names will silently bear witness to their team’s performance for generations, now a project to re-fence Coughlin Park is complete. The club financed the project by allowing people to buy pickets for up to $100. In return they put the donors’ names on the pickets. Club president Nathan Martin said cricket club vice-president Glenn Carroll conceived the idea around 18 months ago, after the playing surface was upgraded. “The last section was done
on the last weekend in May,” he said. “Hundreds of people purchased in the end, including our members, past players and families. “There’s one with Brian O’Loughlin’s name on it, and he was a past president, life member and a hall of fame member. He has his name on the fence a couple of times actually because he was an instigator of the bowls club here. “It was for anyone that was involved in the sporting clubs at Coughlin Park: the bowls club, cricket club, St Brigid’s College. If you have a look at the fence there are different
logos around people’s names relating to the club they were involved with.” Martin thanked the volunteers, who completed most of the work on the fence. “There were people of all ages involved in some of the working bees, from some of our junior players, senior footballers and some of our life members,” he said. “Local businesses donated too.” Martin said the Saints, like every other club in the Wimmera, awaited June 15 for AFL Wimmera Mallee to determine whether any local competitions would take place in 2020.
• Horsham Saints Club President Nathan Martin with the fence which features the names of supporters.
Sing us a song, you’re the Nati Rams…
• TALENT: Natimuk Rams president Greg Radford and club mascot Ulysses used their musical talents to win the club $5000.
By Alexander Darling IT was somewhat fitting the Natimuk Rams chose American singer-songwriter Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” as a template for its successful bid to win $5000. The 1989 single alludes to dozens of headline events of the 20th century, and the world is arguably in the thick of the biggest headline event of the 21st century to date with COVID-19. The club will receive $5000 from AFL Victoria and TAC after becoming one of the weekly winners of the organisations’ Community Club Competition in the first week of June. The competition encourages football and
netball clubs to demonstrate how they are staying fit and social despite their seasons being cancelled or postponed. More than 20 members of the club feature in Natimuk’s 60-second video, either being filmed while training at home or in photos and footage from previous seasons. Club president Greg Radford provides the soundtrack strumming his guitar and singing lines including “Interviews inside/ talk with Taj (Payne, a Rams player)/she’ll be right”. Radford, also a rhythm guitarist in Wimmera cover band Last Stand, said the idea was the brainchild of secretary Shelly Stockdale. “She put the video clip
together. She woke up at three o-clock one morning with the song in her head and no words,” he said. “I think we’ll probably just sit on (the money) and invest it. It may go a long way towards paying for rates and power down the track, those expenses you can’t avoid.” Radford thanked the committee for staying with the club and the coaches and players for their patience. “It’s harder to be on a committee now than when we’re playing,” he said. “I haven’t needed to try and motivate people to turn up to meetings and be involved, they’ve stayed motivated the whole time, right through to our sponsors. They’re staying focused.”

McDonald’s renewed season hopes By Alexander Darling TOM McDonald found himself lacking in motivation after COVID-19 restrictions hit. The Edenhope-born Melbourne Demons forward had had his year upended by COVID-19 restrictions in late March, which saw the 2020 AFL season indefinitely postponed after just one spectator-less round. With Round Two now underway, McDonald shared with the Horsham Times the experience of being an AFL player during a pandemic. “Probably the second until the fourth week of the shutdown was the toughest,” he said. “The health situation globally was at its worst and the footy news was it might not come back at all. “I was still doing the training sessions, but I was probably holding five or ten percent back because there was no light at the end of the tunnel at that stage. “I was dealing with a little bit of injury so at that stage I was thinking was it really worth it flogging myself for 12 months before we played again. “After that, the footy news and the community started to get a bit more positive and training became a fun thing to do again, because it was the only reason to get out of the house.” With his livelihood on hold, McDonald busied himself with caring for his daughter Bella, born in January, and working in other fields. “I’m close to finishing my Bachelor of Commerce Degree, so I knocked off a couple of subjects, and then I sort of started thinking about what I’d do,” he said. “Like would I go back and work on the farm with Dad in Edenhope? I started doing some media work experience at a family friend’s seafood company, so there was plenty to do, but I never got to the stage of having concrete plans for what to do if the season was cancelled.” McDonald’s younger brother Oscar, also a Melbourne footballer, returned to live in Edenhope for a month when the restrictions began. The Demons were only allowed to
train in pairs for the first ten weeks of the postponement, before full group sessions returned in late May. The AFL has so far released the fixture for rounds two to five of the season, which has been cut to 17 rounds plus finals. The Demons face Carlton at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, before Essendon and Geelong at the MCG and the Swans in Sydney. Melbourne would have played Greater Western Sydney, Fremantle, St Kilda and Gold Coast in these rounds if the season had not been interrupted. McDonald said it was hard to know how the changed draw would affect how his side fared in 2020. “Usually you look at the draw to see if you’re playing the top or bottom teams twice, but everyone plays everyone once this year,” he said. “The only thing this year will be the situation of travelling to hubs and how many away games you have.” The AFL’s four South and Western Australian teams will play their matches at a “hub” in Queensland across the first four rounds, with the fixture after that to be devised based on the level of pandemic restrictions in each state. With a baby and partner at home, McDonald said he preferred not to have to spend a long time away from Melbourne. “I didn’t want to go into hubs long-term, which would have been the worst-case scenario, but short-term hubs for three to four weeks is manageable,” he said. In 2019, he kicked an equal-career-high six goals in the first three quarters of a Round 16 match against Carlton, before tearing his left knee’s meniscus and not playing the rest of the season. His fortunes mirrored his team’s: Melbourne finished second last after reaching a preliminary final in 2018. The 27-year-old is ready to return to form in 2020, with no injury concerns ahead of his first game back. “I had some patella tendonitis in my right knee actually, and I got a little bit excited after Round One and did too much training in the backyard in that first week and stirred it up,” he said.

“I needed a couple weeks more rehab to settle that down, but the other knee’s been no issue since I had the surgery. I think most players who, as long as they didn’t have any injury in the preseason, should be in a really
good spot to be match-ready.” McDonald will play predominantly as a forward in Melbourne’s 2020 side, hoping to recapture the form that saw him kick 53 goals in 2018.
