FINANCIAL HELP NEEDED By JessieAnne Gartlan

WIMMERA councils have continued to receive requests for financial assistance from ratepayers and business owners amid the coronavirus pandemic. Horsham Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said that during April, May and June, 73 people applied for concessions available through the hardship officer, Andrea Hogan. The council established the role of financial hardship officer back in April, and Ms Hogan has been the first point of contact for people needing assistance with their rates and other council charges. “The majority of people experiencing hardship because of the pandemic have requested more time to meet payments and they have the option of an interest-free payment plan,” Mr Bhalla said. “Each case is being assessed on individual circumstances with outcomes customised according to the need of each case.” People from the business sector have also accessed the service, Mr Bhalla said. “The hardship officer has also worked one-on-one with local business operators to assist them to access different forms of assistance,” he said. “The key message from council is that the hardship officer will be available to the community for the foreseeable future.” Northern Grampians Shire Council mayor Murray Emerson said the council had received over 40 enquiries since adopting its own Financial Support and Hardship Policy on June 1. “Many of these enquiries have resulted in individuals simply wishing to negotiate a payment plan,” he said. “Formal applications for the scheme have been received from seven businesses and three

individuals.” The policy includes an allowance of $250,000 for the waiver of fees, registrations, rental income and rates interest. Councillor Emerson said it was difﬁcult to assess the “full economic impact” of COVID-19 in the region. “Employment in May compared to February 2020 is likely to have fallen by 13.4 percent in Northern Grampians,” he said.

“According to the REMPLAN COVID-19 Impact Model, a total of $30.5m in gross revenue has been lost from our regional economy to date. “While the outlook is dire, council has implemented a speciﬁc economic development role to assist our region in recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and we are here to assist businesses and individuals to access support from

other levels of government.” In May West Wimmera Shire Council announced its own COVID-19 Hardship Policy. At the time council mayor Bruce Meyer said the West Wimmera Shire had not been immune to the economic impacts of COVID-19. “This has led to many businesses closing their doors and widespread unemployment throughout the state and in West Wimmera Shire,” he

said. “There are likely to be ratepayers and residents within the shire who are negatively affected by the current economic environment.” The policy encouraged ratepayers to make a tailored payment plan rather than deferring debt, and the council will review it in August. Yarriambiack and Hindmarsh councils did not respond to requests for comment.

Dear Editor, VicRoads cancelling Portland resident Peter Hansen’s number plates, which read ‘WEPN’, is yet another example of both political correctness and bureaucracy gone completely mad. In a letter from VicRoads to Mr Hansen, they reportedly justified the cancellation on the basis that, “Number plates containing offensive language, anti-social values, racial overtones or a negative road safety message are generally unacceptable.” I challenge VicRoads to find a single person who is offended by Mr Hansen’s innocuous licence plates. Instead, it seems quite the contrary, that the vast majority of the community predictably support him, with a change.org petition signed by over 11,000 people. This isn’t about a government department serving the people of Victoria by responding to overwhelming community complaints about a licence plate that is vulgar, insulting or threatening. This is about drunk-withpower bureaucrats inside the tram tracks of Melbourne, obsessed with telling individuals how to live their lives. I’ve written to the Minister for Roads, The Hon. Ben Carroll, in the hope that he can intervene to ensure VicRoads reverse this laughable decision. Hopefully common sense can prevail, rather than the dicta of unelected bureaucrats. Beverley McArthur MP Member for Western Victoria NSW-Victorian Border Closures – Bridges padlocked shut. The decision to lock down the Victorian – NSW border has significant impacts on all of our border towns, including Mildura, Robinvale, Swan Hill, Nyah, Murrabit, and Koondrook. In Mallee we have a disturbing situation where some bridges have literally been padlocked, rather than being manned by police or ADF personnel. This is unacceptable, creating risks and obstacles to everyday life, reducing access to healthcare and other essential services. Families who live just across the border in NSW, rely on Victorian towns for healthcare, work and education. One such town is Murrabit. The bridge between Murrabit and Gonn Crossing, was shut yesterday without notice, initially padlocked at 4pm yesterday afternoon. It was reopened, only to later be padlocked during the night. This means locals must either drive the 60km round trip through Bahram, or the 100km round trip via Swan Hill. Locals have been told that, if required, an Ambulance based in Kerang will have a key

to unlock the gates, but the residents on the NSW side will not be able to cross the locked bridge. This is unacceptable. One young family has recently experienced a health crisis with a child, which required them to drive in haste to the hospital via Murrabit Bridge and if this crisis reoccurs they would not be able to get to the hospital in time. Similarly, the Tooleybuc Bridge has been closed, affecting businesses in Tooleybuc and residents on both sides of the river and caused significant interruptions to the freight route that goes across this bridge. I have been speaking directly with the PM’s office, to work towards a solution to have these bridges opened back up as soon as possible. I want to thank those who have contacted my office regarding this significant issue, and have displayed great concern for their communities. Dr Anne Webster MP Federal Member for Mallee Mallee can’t afford for Coaltion to cancel Jobkeeper too early This week, I launched a new community campaign calling on the Morrison Liberal Government not to cancel JobKeeper too early. Cancelling the $1500 fortnightly JobKeeper wage subsidy too early could mean: • Up to 3,712 businesses in Mallee may be forced to close their doors; • Approximately 14,106 workers may be forced into unemployment; and • Up to $21,159,000 could be ripped out of the local economy each and every fortnight. Just as people are starting to get back on their feet, cancelling JobKeeper too early would have a devastating impact on local businesses and households. Our community simply cannot afford the early cancellation of the $1500 fortnightly JobKeeper wage subsidy. When I speak with local workers and small business owners, people tell me that JobKeeper is helping their businesses survive and keeping people in work. I’ve been so proud of the way our community has been looking out for one another in recent times. I’m asking everyone to again come together and send a strong message to Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Liberals not to cancel JobKeeper too early. I invite the community to visit my website send the Morrison Liberal Government a message not to cancel JobKeeper too early www.SenatorCiccone.com.au Senator Raff Ciccone, Deputy Opposition Whip in the Senate, Federal Labor Senator for Victoria

HORSHAM TOWN HALL REOPENS

ANY SIZE

HORSHAM Town Hall has opened its doors back up to the public after an extended closure due to COVID-19 restrictions. Staff at the venue said they will take a “staggered approach” that follows state and federal advice in reinstating its programs and activities. The current opening hours will align with those of the Art Gallery, which opened to the public two weeks prior to the Town Hall opening. All visitors will be required to follow social distancing protocols, including registering their details with staff for contact tracing and adhering to time limits. Venue manager Shana Miatke said bookings were being taken for small events and meetings from August 3. “The idea is we integrate people slowly because it’s going to be a new way of people coming in and being a part of the venue,” she said. “It will be a slow integration and we’ll be looking at a lot more local content to start, where we’re giving the community the opportunity to get out there. “That will be in various forms - both inside and outside the venue.” Scheduling remained uncertain for bigger

performances. “We’ve still got performances booked for September but that is going to be highly reliant on the numbers that we can get in,” Ms Miatke said. Venue marketing ofﬁcer Charee Smith said the lack of arts and culture throughout COVID-19 had had an impact on residents and volunteers alike. “People need that connection to do something,” she said. “Once we get through this people will want to be able to connect face-to-face and have that lived experience. “We acknowledge that we have amazing volunteers that love it and they are just missing that social interaction they had. It’s lovely to hear from the community that we have a place in their hearts.” Over in the Art Gallery, director Brenda Wellman and curator Alison Eggleton have been working on a new exhibit. Rediscovered: from the Collection focuses on family, community and connections, with new and rediscovered artworks presented in a new way, so even regular visitors will have something to discover. Both the Town Hall and Art Gallery are open Monday – Friday from 11 am – 3 pm with access from Wilson Street only.

HORSHAM RECORDS TWO COVID-19 CASES THE Department of Health and Human Services conﬁrmed there were two active COVID-19 cases in the Horsham municipality on Wednesday afternoon. The two cases help make up a total of 305 cases in regional Victoria at the time of writing on Wednesday afternoon, and Horsham’s alltime total to ﬁve. The Department also reported on Wednesday that one new death had been reported since Tuesday. The victim was a woman in her 90s who died in hospital, bringing the total number of Victorian deaths to 27. A Wimmera Health Care Group spokesman said the cases were a reminder that Wimmera

residents should not be complacent about social distancing. “This is an important reminder that everyone must follow the guidelines we have constantly promoted,” he said. “Please do not travel to Melbourne or the Mitchell shire unless it is completely necessary. “Please remember: Maintain social distancing of 1.5 metres at all times. Wash or sanitise your hands thoroughly, before and after public contact. Stay home if you feel unwell. “If you have any COVID symptoms contact the clinic for assessment by phoning 5362 3474 between 10am and 5pm any day. “Take the time to ask yourself ‘is what I’m doing, completely necessary and if so have I taken every precaution?’”

Feast to celebrate local food and wine By JessieAnne Gartlan

LOCAL food, local wine and local fun will be the focus of an event being planned for summer, says Horsham Agricultural Society committee member Andrea Cross. “One hundred and fifty guests are going to pay $150 to have drinks for 150 minutes, and have five courses with all food sourced from 150 kilometres of Horsham,” she said. “There will also be 150 metres of free camping.” Called the 150km Feast, the event has been incubating since the start of the COVID-19 shutdown. Aside from local produce, it will also celebrate the Wimmera River. “I started developing the idea pretty much as soon as we went into event shutdown - I needed to give myself purpose,” Ms Cross said. “I floated the idea with the committee and they were supportive of it.” Ms Cross said people needed something to look forward to at a time when activities were limited and the wintery weather had people feeling down. “I know it doesn’t have a date and it’s still a while away, but to have something to look forward to is really what we need at the moment,” she said. Even with only a soft social media launch, queries have come in thick and fast, Ms Cross said. “Already we’ve got half a dozen people wanting to help at an event we don’t even have a date for, which is quite incredible,” she said. Ms Cross said the event’s concept was a natural fit for the society, which was always aiming to support local producers. The society will even grow in some of its own produce. “One of the more exciting things that has continued to evolve as the event gains traction is we’ve got a social garden here at Maydale Reserve, and we’ve made plans to start looking at what type of vegetables will be used in the summer of 2021,” Ms Cross said. “We’re going to use all the herbs that we grow here, so some of our food source is right here. For us as an organisation it’s really exciting to be able to support ourselves.” Ms Cross said tickets will go on sale “at least 150 days before the event”. The society hoped to make the event annual, with ticket sales going towards the society and Maydale Reserve, which is part of the Horsham Showgrounds. Further details can be found on the event’s Facebook page, called 150km Feast. • Organiser Andrea Cross says the 150km Feast will give foodies and wine lovers alike something local to look forward to.

DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES SUSPENDED By Chris Michaels

THE state government has suspended door-to-door sales as part of the Victorian Energy Upgrades program after calls from Member for Lowan Emma Kealy and local residents to ban the practice due to the potential COVID-19 risks. Local residents in Nhill and Dimboola had also contacted Ms Kelly’s office, complaining of finding dumped light globes and showerheads in the Wimmera River. The program’s main aim was to give residents access to discounted energy efficient products and services like LED lighting replacements. Ms Kealy said, “The government’s decision to immediately suspend the doorto-door sales element of the Victorian Energy Upgrades scheme is common sense.” “Not only were salespeople travelling from COVID-19 hotspots in Melbourne into our communities, but there were also reports of doorknockers repeatedly harassing residents,” Ms Kealy said. Ms Kealy said she thought the door-todoor activities should have ceased long before now. “These sorts of activities should have been suspended months ago when the first round of COVID-19 restrictions were introduced,” she said. “The fact they weren’t was an oversight that increased the health risks for people in our region, and could have led to disastrous consequences.” The Essential Services Commission is looking into the illegal dumping but further comment was not available before going to

print. Nhill resident Des Smith was set to have new lights installed, but they never showed up. The following day he found globes dumped 500 metres from his house. “I got a call that they wanted to install new globes and showerheads,” Mr Smith said. “So I waited around and they never showed up. They rang at about 12.30pm and said they would be here soon and again never showed up. “I was going to Horsham the next day and about 500 metres from home I found globes and showerheads dumped on the ground.” Mr Smith said the items that were dumped were not new but secondhand, and he picked them up and took them home out of harm’s way and called the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). “There was a large variety of showerheads and globes, all secondhand in a box which didn’t have markings,” Mr Smith said. “I made a report to the EPA but without seeing who had dumped them, there wasn’t much that could be done. “We all try and keep this community nice and clean and this happens. It’s very frustrating.” Ms Kealy described the dumped items as “disgraceful”. “The fact some salespeople were then dumping light bulbs and showerheads in our waterways and on roadsides was a disgrace, and showed even further disrespect for our community,” she said. “Residents can feel safer knowing that no one associated with the scheme will be knocking on their door again any time soon,” she said.

Appeal to help rough Wimmera sleepers providing extensions to the usual 13week tenancy period. The organisation was also seeing clients who had not had to use support services before. “We do have more coming through who are on Job Keeper,” he said. At the time of interviewng there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the region but on Wednesday the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed two active cases in Horsham. “We talk about no confirmed cases (in the Wimmera) but the ripple effect is there on people taking a hit. These may be people who have never used our services in the past.” Mr Koenig encouraged people to do what they could to help by donating to the appeal. He said any funds or items donated locally would stay in the Wimmera. “Blankets and things like that help for obvious reasons, but also for the people couch surfing or staying at friends’ houses, (it means) they’ve got some of their own things and it’s a bit of dignity and protection,” he said. “It just helps people feel safe within these unconventional living arrangements.” Donated items must be new with the tags still attached. Mr Koenig also said that anyone looking to invest in a “bricks and mortar” affordable housing development, it would be welcomed in the community. Online donations can be made by visiting www.unitingvictas.org.au Donations of new items can be made at Uniting Wimmera, 185 Baillie Street, Horsham.

By JessieAnne Gartlan

UNITING Wimmera is urging the community to donate to its annual winter appeal amidst a spike in the number of people seeking assistance with accommodation. Uniting Vic.Tas provides accommodation, employment, and mental health services among others to the community, and the organisation is currently collecting new coats, blankets, pyjamas and winter woolies to distribute to people sleeping rough or doing it tough for its Spread The Warmth appeal. Uniting Wimmera chief executive Josh Koenig said this winter had been particularly difficult for the community due to the coronavirus pandemic. He said despite a lack of active coronavirus cases locally the ripple effect was hitting locals hard, citing one of the busiest times “on record” after the virus arrived in March. Although the need had flat-lined a bit since then, it was still very apparent. “We’re looking at 20 to 30 people per week that touch base with our services to seek some sort of support in relation to homelessness,” Mr Koenig said. In the Wimmera homelessness could mean people “couch surfing, (living) in tents or swags in friends’ backyards, (and) overcrowded dwellings”, Mr Koenig said. Other people who contacted Uniting Wimmera were at risk of homelessness because they were struggling with rent or finding affordable private rentals in the current economic climate.

West Wimmera Council adopts draft budget By JessieAnne Gartlan

WEST Wimmera residents are set to receive a rates rise of two percent this financial year after the council adopted its draft budget on Wednesday. Projections show an increased revenue of $136,000 from general rates, totalling $6.92M from $6.79M. Capital Improved Value dropped from $0.0026 to $0.0022. The council does not use a differentials system. The council has halved its capital works budget, reducing it from $11.2M to $6.17M, a drop of 44.43 percent, or $4.94M. The biggest reduction is on property spending, which was reduced by 88.13 percent from $1.9M to $229,000. Reductions in capital expenditure were attributed to the end of the Fixing Country Roads funding in the prior financial year. Of the $6.17M, a total $1.7M will come from grants. Included in the capital works program are draining and pedestrian crossing projects, and painting the Edenhope Swimming Pool.

Overall the council expects to finish the financial year with only a minor net drop of $711,000, with $209.9M to $209.1M. The budget was updated to allow several grants to be represented that had since been allocated to the council. Some of the budget was allocated for events, but Councillor Jodie Pretlove said if they didn’t go ahead due to coronavirus those events, and that funding would be moved forward. “We don’t know what’s happening,” she said. During the council debate Cr Tom Houlihan moved a motion to include an additional eight points in the recommendation which would see funding redistributed among some community projects. However, the motion was rejected by three council members including councillors Jodie Pretlove and Richard Hicks. Cr Pretlove called the motion “disappointing”. “I cannot support this motion at all,” she said. “I find this a bit disappointing when we’ve had several meetings discussing our budget, then to have this all come today.

Later this year the Melbourne based Bicycle Network is bringing its annual bike tour to start at Rainbow and finish a few days later at Great Western. What a fantastic time that would be with a fully catered trip, just ride your bike. Whole school classes sometimes join this tour and they all meander along at their own pace to the next campground. They follow the designated map directions for generally comfortable kilometres a day. Choices of bike means a bit of research if you are just starting out, these can cost a few dollars to multiple thousands. A high end bike will suit fast road riders. Now there are electric bikes that give a little or decent boost on hills. Touring bikes are built to carry big loads and keep working after rough roads and tracks. Cyclists need to be highly

visible and encourage motorists to avoid them. There are drivers who delight in seeing how close they can drive to a cyclist and at speed. It is a form of bullying and jealousy to scare someone and it is hideously stupid to drive like that. I know police who like to keep fit or are training for an event and can be on the roads cycling taking mental notes. Some drivers seem to expect cyclists to stop and stand by the road to let them pass. Cyclists are legal road users and have registered cars at home. There should be a No Fault in our road laws as some other countries have and this might make the place a lot safer. Mountain bikes are a bit misnamed because they can tackle hard conditions, carry loads and some are even workable in sand and snow. There are tricycles with many gears. There is a bike to fit any size or shape or age rider. Dust off that bike in the shed and see the area at a reasonable pace.

“We haven’t had the discussion at this level and I haven’t been able to write these (motions) down quickly. We’re supporting a lot of places all over the shire. “We have successfully lobbied our state and federal governments and been granted funding for Telstra Towers all over the shire. It’s not all about bricks and mortar, it’s about services provided all over the shire.”

Cr Hicks said that there no documentation had been provided to the council demonstrating that those organisations Cr Houlihan had named needed further funding. “I’d like to remind the council that we’ve had three, maybe four meetings where we’ve gone through the draft budget in detail, it’s one out to public submission and we’ve reviewed those,” he said.

Horsham local Alice Skye shines at NAIDOC concert By Chris Michaels

HORSHAM musician Alice Skye has again proven that the Wimmera produces serious talent when she was featured in a lineup of Australian greats for a virtual concert recently. Ms Skye, Archie Roach, Troy Cassar-Daley, Lady Lash and a host of other Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander performers came together for a virtual concert at Hamer Hall on Saturday July 11. The concert was held despite the rest of the NAIDOC activities being placed on hold until later in the year and celebrated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. It was broadcast live, with the theme of the night being ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’. Ms Skye said she was thrilled to be involved. “Playing at Hamer Hall meant beautiful sound and the lights were really nice,” Ms Skye said. “NAIDOC is based around family and community so to play with people like Archie and Uncle Kutcha was really nice.” Ms Skye said she still felt a strong connection to Horsham and the Wimmera. She went to school in Horsham and her mother runs the local bookshop. “My family played a big part in my life musically,” she said. “I would come home from school and my mum would be playing records. And my big

sister plays piano and can sing as well.” One of the upsides for artists during the coronavirus pandemic has been finding new ways for their creative talents to reach a greater audience. “People are creating opportunities like the concert on the weekend,” Ms Skye said. “But things are changing constantly.” Ms Skye and her band have almost finished an album of tunes that she is ready to launch into the world, but life is now a waiting game. “I finished recording an album at the beginning of the year. But at the moment it’s just a matter of having things go back to normal.”

Lack of water access could stall Natimuk lake weir By Chris Michaels

THE Natimuk Lake Foreshore Committee believe the lake’s lack of water may be tied in to Parks Victoria wanting to access trust money they’ve previously been advised to leave untouched. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy previously wrote to Victorian Premier Dan Andrews in an attempt to ward off efforts by the government to manage a Natimuk trust fund. The trust money was left by former long time local resident Otto Spehr in the 1950s. Mr Spehr had multiple properties surrounding the lake and was a firm believer in making the lake and surrounds a tourist destination. He specified the money go into trust to be used by the committee, and the interest on the money be used for upgrades to the lake. Natimuk Lake Foreshore Committee Chair Brenda Strudwick received a letter from Parks Victoria dated June 29 where they suggested they were supportive of the planned works, namely a weir, but had no funding available to proceed with the project. Parks Victoria chair Jeff Floyd went on to say they would continue to “seek sources for the funding, this may include the Otto Spehr Trust”. Ms Strudwick said the letter yet again has thrown up much confusion and anger again within the committee and the local community. “The community are feeling powerless against this juggernaut of a government,” Ms Strudwick said. “It is very clear in Mr Spehr’s

will that the money is for the beautification, development of the lake with a view to becoming a tourist resort. It’s very clear it’s that simple.” Ms Strudwick said that Parks Victoria had been less than helpful and often obstructive. “They continue to say yes we want to build the weir, yes we want to finish it but we have no money and we don’t know where we can get any money so we want the community to pay for it all.” Natimuk resident and co-opted committee member Kerry Walker said having water in the lake and where that would come from was the bigger issue. “The bigger issue really is who is responsible to get water into the lake, and if Parks is responsible then it is failing this community,” Ms Walker said. “Because it is managing a dry lake bed and has not done anything to secure water. “I think if we could put some pressure on Parks about what they are doing about the water, then they’ll want the weir. “At the moment there is nothing in it for the government to do anything about the weir because there is no water. “Water is the main game and I think more and more the trust stuff is a bit of a red herring really.” Barring a significant downpour over a number of days, the committee said other options are available to Parks Victoria for filling the lake long-term. “Water could be pumped in from the Wimmera River,” Ms Walker said. “There are options and it

• Natimuk Lake Foreshore Committee members Kerry Walker and Brenda Strudwick.

wouldn’t take long. The weir helps hold the water in. The weir helps manage the run off once the lake is full in the event of substantial rain. Rather than letting it backup and flood the town like what happened in 2011.” Horsham Rural City Council director of infrastructure John Martin said, “This is the first year that the draft Council budget has included a provision for water supply to Green Lake, with no similar arrangements made for

other lakes or waterways.” “Council has not made a funding allocation to supply water to Natimuk Lake. This relates to the practicality and history of water supply to the Lake. “The difference between Green Lake and Natimuk Lake is that there has been a history of water supply to Green Lake. Green Lake is part of the GWMWater reservoir system, Natimuk Lake is not. “The local committee at Natimuk Lake has explored a range of

options with GWMWater and the Wimmera CMA to provide a supply to the lake, but these appear to be relatively expensive. “Natimuk Lake would have to be supplied out of the Rocklands / Toolondo reservoir and channel system. “But, there is no channel of sufficient capacity that connects from the Rocklands Outlet Channel (also called Toolondo channel) through to either Natimuk Lake or the creeks that run into it.”

Police inquiring into Dooen crash origins HORSHAM Police are continuing investigations into the Dooen Road car crash which involved a 38 year old male from Melbourne. The crash occurred around 3:30am on July 13 when the man’s car left the road, striking rail control boxes along Dooen Road. The man was sent to Wimmera Base Hospital where he was then transferred to Ballarat Hospital. Police are continuing investigations on how the crash occurred and whether the man had violated “Stay at Home” restrictions reimposed on metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire from July 8. Under Operation Sentinel, Victoria Police have been monitoring traffic flows and using Automatic Number Plate Recognition to scan registration details and identify residential addresses of license holders.

Pending inquiries on when and where the man had been, police confirmed that he may be issued with a penalty notice in breach of health directives. Meanwhile, on the previous Friday ambulance services have treated two people at the scene of a car crash along the Henty Highway near Kewell Friday afternoon. Emergency services arrived on scene about 2pm after they were alerted to the two-vehicle crash. Police at the scene said the driver of a Toyota, which had one passenger, was turning right onto Horsham-Minyip Road when it collided with a south-bound Mitsibishi. Both driver and passenger of the Toyota were treated, and both vehicles suffered extensive damage. Fire and police services were also at the scene, with police controlling the flow of traffic.

THE NATIMUK CAFE TO REMAIN CLOSED

• Natimuk Cafe building owner Kevin Lindorff hopes for a reopen soon. Photo: CHRIS MICHAELS By Chris Michaels

THE Natimuk Cafe will remain closed for the foreseeable future after recent tenants Lucy Crowe and Greg Trenery decided not to continue with the business. But the closure, brought on by the coronavirus restrictions may only be temporary if interested parties come forward. The building’s owner Kevin Lindorff said he was open to suggestions going forward. “At the moment there is no real point advertising it again because the coronavirus is still such an unknown,” he said.

“Once that’s over it can become a more enticing prospect again.” Mr Lindorff said things conspired against Ms Crowe and Mr Trenery despite their best intentions. “Usually Easter time is busy with people coming up from Melbourne and cyclists in groups coming through, but COVID happened and all of that they missed out on,” Mr Lindorff said. A community-run cafe was another option that would appeal if the right plan was presented. “I’m certainly open to suggestions, and that has worked for other places in the past.”

POLICE SEARCH BEULAH WEIR POOL

POLICE have confirmed that a search and rescue unit searched the Beulah Weir pool on Tuesday following reports of information received by a member of the public.

A spokeswoman said: “As the investigation is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage. “Police will release further information when it is operationally appropriate.”

• BEEKEEPING: The Stanley family (Tanya, Warren, Cooper and Toby) continue the family’s beekeeping tradition. By Chris Michaels

THE Stanley family in Douglas have been beekeeping in the region since 1939 and now third generation beekeepers Tanya and Warren Stanley are running a burgeoning business, Beetanical, that is ﬁnding new ways to service the community during coronavirus. Beetanical began in unusual circumstances when Tanya’s son Cooper suffered a skin condition as a baby. “It was quite a journey,” Ms Stanley said. “I wanted something effective and safe to use on him. I went through a process and it took about 18 months in development to be happy with it.” During the process Ms Stanley took expert advice on what was safe and effective, and the resulting product, Bee Soothed Balm, has become the business’s best seller.

“The product worked really well for Cooper,” Ms Stanley said. “I also wanted a natural alternative to Vicks that would be safe for winter, which led to further products added.” Beetanical products have been stocked throughout the Wimmera in 16 locations in total, but a planned trade show appearance in Sydney that was set for June had to be cancelled. “The trade show would have reached chemists and health stores but COVID-19 put a stop to that,” Ms Stanley said. “We had planned on a big expansion this year but that will mean it will happen next year instead. We’ve still been working behind the scenes and we’re deﬁnitely grateful for our online store.” Sales through Beetanical’s website have been steady and encouraging, keeping the

business alive during a difﬁcult last six months. “Because some of the retail stores we supplied have closed, we had to increase and develop our online presence,” Ms Stanley said. “We sat back and looked at options with what we could do online. “Our honey tends to have more local sales, but with our health products there has been a lot of sharing on Facebook and in different online groups by family and friends.” Mr Stanley’s parents have also been delivering the honey to customers instead of their usual sales at local markets, and Ms Stanley continued to market to and supply customers and stockists throughout the Wimmera and into South Australia and Queensland. “We’ve built a strong foundation for our brand.”

HORSHAM’S FIRST REPAIR CAFE CLOSER TO OPENING By JessieAnne Gartlan

HORSHAM’S ﬁrst repair cafe is one step closer to opening after it received a grant from Horsham Rural City Council. In February Horsham Urban Landcare announced its plans to open the cafe right before the restrictions were imposed due to coronavirus, which forced the group to delay its cafe plans. President Jessica Kuhne said despite the delays, the group was still planning to secure a location and establish the cafe, which had been in the pipeline for two years. A repair cafe is a space where volunteers repair broken or damaged items and simultaneously pass their skills onto the owners of the items. “Coffee and tea is also involved,” Ms Kuhne said. The $1300 grant was part of the council’s community development program and Ms Kuhne said it will go toward tools for the cafe. “Scales to weigh items, a set of screwdrivers, glues, and those little essentials - that’s what the money will go to,” she said.

Horsham Urban Landcare won’t meet again until September, when it will hold its annual general meeting. Ms Kuhne said she hoped that by that point the group would be able to discuss the next steps for the cafe amid ongoing uncertainty in Victoria. “It’s still unknown when we can get going, because it looked like we were coming out of restrictions, but who knows - we could be going into more,” she said. “We were discussing a location before lockdown and we were looking at Horsham Neighbourhood House. “We wanted somewhere with space because we’ll have different sections setup for different people with whatever they are repairing on the day.” The cafe would be open on a monthly basis, always on weekends, with a rotation of volunteers that possessed different skill sets. “We might say okay, this month we’ve got someone repairing X, Y and Z so if you have any of those that need repairing, bring them along,” Ms Kuhne said. “We’ve got about 15 volunteers with

different skills, and they vary from textiles through to electronics and wood working, bikes, mechanics and IT.” Repair cafes already exist in Port Fairy and Bendigo, and while Ms Kuhne said Horsham Urban Landcare could technically open amid current restrictions, it wouldn’t be able to hold a proper opening. “It’s hard at the moment,” she said. Ms Kuhne said coronavirus restrictions had led to an increased interest in traditional skills such as repair and maintenance. “People are looking back to old skills,” she said. “When restrictions ﬁrst began and the supermarkets were selling out, people were buying seedlings and wanting to grow their own food. “It would be interesting to see if people have been going on with that, or if they were just caught up in the frenzy of it. “One of the things we’re aiming to do at the cafe is pass on those skills, so you’re repairing the item with an experienced person and you’re gaining that skill. That way if it breaks again, you can repair it on your own.”

Real Estate RESTRICTION CONFUSION FOR REAL ESTATE MARKET ANYONE confused about whether they can move home from a metropolitan area to the Wimmera or vice versa will be relieved to learn that they can. When the state government announced a return to stage three restrictions for Melbourne and Mitchell Shire from July 8, the Real Estate Institute of Victoria requested clarification for anyone moving home or wishing to attend inspections. The REIV received confirmation that a person living in a restricted area can attend a private inspection of a home in a non-restricted area.

A person from a non-restricted zone can also travel into the restricted area to attend a private inspection of a home. However, open houses and auctions were off-limits. REIV president Leah Calnan said it was important that all stakeholders understood that a resident of a restricted area must not attend an open house or an auction. They can only participate in an online auction. “The state government has confirmed to the REIV that the process of obtaining property will carry on, a buyer from Wodonga can travel to Melbourne

House sale prices down in March quarter QUARTERLY house sale prices in the Horsham locale reduced by 3.5 percent in the March 2020 quarter, with Horsham’s median house sale price down to $241k. Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s March quarter research outlined the current housing market in Horsham. Median house sale prices in Horsham have hovered between $250k and $210k in the past three years, with this quarter's statistics not deviating from that trend. Horsham prices continue to pull below the regional Victorian average, as this quarter shows Victoria’s median house sale price at $419k. Horsham’s three bedroom dwellings pull a median price of $200k, while four bedroom dwellings reach $300k, also behind regional Victorian averages which pull $369k and $512k respectively. However REIV’s research shows that Horsham houses and units spend on average 37.5 days on the market, ahead of regional Victoria’s average of 56 days. As of March 2020, 85.7 percent of Horsham dwellings are houses, 7.6 percent are semi-detached and 6.6 percent are ﬂats or units. 2,046 dwellings are fully owned, 1,889 are in the process of being purchased and fully owned, while 1,086 are being privately rented and 275 are being rented via a housing authority.

to privately inspect a unit in St Kilda, while a person from Footscray can do the same in Ballarat,” she said. “The risk of COVID-19 remains strong, and real estate agents will be undertaking strict protocols to ensure that a person from outside a zone is able to inspect a property privately and safely.” “A person can still move home during the lockdown; even if it involves travelling into a different

region.” Harcourts Horsham principal Mark Clyne said there had been some confusion among potential buyers out of Melbourne. “Enquiry from Melbourne has basically stopped as it is hard to travel here, and they are not really welcomed at the moment,” he said. Other barriers were also becoming apparent. “There is still a bit of confusion

and we are now only starting to have some issues of parties not being able to travel out here to finalise settlement and clearing out of their homes. “I think the dust will settle in the coming weeks and some provisions may be made if deemed safe or an alternative will have to be worked through with their solicitors. “It currently is a matter of adjusting on a case by case basis.”

Your dream house may be just a page turn away... The Wimmera housing market is hoped to warm back up in Winter, as COVID isolation loosens securing your dream home may again be a reality.

HAPPY SNAPPERS UNITE FOR THE ART-IS-BALD COMPETITION By Chris Michaels

AMATUER and professional photographers alike have been busy scanning, cropping and snapping photos for the Art Is...Festival online photography competition. The Art-Is-Bald prize for photographic portraiture is running until July 31, with entries in two different categories permitted. The portraits can either be of a single person or a group of people. Horsham mayor and sponsor of the competition Mark Radford said finding alternative ways to run the Art Is... Festival and the photography competition in light of the coronavirus pandemic was challenging. “A lot of people were thinking how can we do things differently,” Mr Radford said. For this years’ photography competition people have been asked to send in portrait photos, but they can be old or new photos and the type of camera used can vary from an iphone to an old polaroid camera. With the coronavirus effecting face to face activities, more people have embraced the extra time indoors and have been finding old photos from years ago to submit. “It doesn’t matter when they were taken,” Mr Radford. “People upload their photos to the Art

Is website and at the end of the month they will be judged by professional photographers - with some great prizes on offer.” Harvey Norman will be providing canvas prints of winning photos, and Framewave Picture Framing will be providing framing as well. There will also be a peoples’ choice winner announced where the public can view the photos online and judge for themselves. “Another thing we’ve been doing this year with the photography competition is running Galleries On The Side, with full details and entry form on the website,” Mr Radford said. Galleries On The Side blends photography and art with retail by displaying pieces of art submitted by residents for display in various shop windows in Firebrace Street. While some shopfronts are already glistening with various works of art, there is still scope for new entries. The details are on the Art Is… website. As Mr Radford said, unique times need unique solutions. “It is the first time we’ve done a virtual exhibition and competition of this kind since the Art Is...Festival began.” Also coming up soon for the festival will be children's book illustration guides, braided rag rug workshops and an art walk.

Horsham Spring Garden and Lifestyle Festival cancelled Outside of Horsham? Submit your classified online via: www.thehorshamtimes.com.au

HORSHAM Spring Garden and Lifestyle Festival will be postponed until next year after committee members raised their concerns about the health risks stemming from COVID-19. The festival’s committee members had been discussing over several weeks whether to proceed when a decision was made last weekend to postpone the event. Sonia Matthews, the festival’s spokesperson, said that the committee decided that the risks and uncertainty on holding an event at this time warranted postponing the gardening event until next spring. “We can’t afford it because we have 2000 to 3000 people so there would be no way we

could control the crowds,” she said. “We normally have a lot of people come up from Melbourne so we don’t want to spread anything.” The gardening and lifestyle event was due to be held on the October 10 weekend at Horsham Botanical Gardens. With additional cleaning requirements and uncertainty over future restrictions in Victoria, Ms Matthews said it was prudent to wait until there was more certainty next year. Although a high-proﬁle guest speaker had been booked for the event, Ms Matthews said they were happy to hold-out until next year. In its 33rd year, this is the ﬁrst time that the event has been cancelled.

Business Trades Directory New manslaughter offence creates work safety imperative By James Thomas

AS new manslaughter charges are introduced into workplace safety legislation, Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke says it’s imperative for farmers to double down on safety procedures. From July 1, employers and other duty holders may be charged with manslaughter where they are in breach of the state’s occupational safety laws. Mr Jochinke said that the intent

of the law is to make directors of a company responsible for their workers. However, whilst agreeing with safety aspects of the legislation, Mr Jochinke said that the addition of the manslaughter offence may lead to family members being charged whilst working on farms. “We completely agree with the OHS legislation as it stood and that there should be processes and policies in place to ensure the safety of workers,” he said.

REGIONAL TRUCKING CONTINUES TO FACE CHALLENGES By Chris Michaels

THE trucking industry throughout the Wimmera continues to face challenges as the coronavirus lockdowns in Melbourne continue. Ararat’s Molloy Transport owner Tim Molloy supervises regular trips to Melbourne, into New South Wales and over the South Australian border to Bordertown, and while things are “going okay” at the moment the challenges continue. “It’s getting harder to access areas and places we need to,” Mr Molloy said. “The border changes seem to happen every few days so it’s a lot to keep up with.” While things have improved recently, access to reasonable amenities was an issue for drivers. “Early on in the pandemic we had problems with drivers not being able to access clean toilets and have decent meal breaks,” Mr Molloy said. “While it is fairly straightforward to get permits organised, the permit conditions change often. “We did an application for New South Wales and two days later had to update the permit because things had changed.” Mr Molloy also said that drivers were not particularly welcome in some areas because they had come from Victoria. “Some people have been quite stand-ofﬁsh because we were coming from Victoria and they were unsure about if we had the virus or not,” he said. Australian Trucking Association chief of staff Bill McKinley said, “2020 has been tough for many trucking businesses, having faced the devastating bushﬁres and now the coronavirus, which has impacted operations and seen a decline in activity.” “However, the challenges brought upon Australians with the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the essential role trucks play in delivering vital goods, food and medicine to communities around the country.” Victorian Transport Association president Peter Anderson said, “Obviously if we don’t get the trucks on the road then people don’t get fed, nor get clothes and other essential items.”

• SAFETY: VFF president David Jochinke says that it is imperative for farmers to double down on workplace safety practices and procedures since a new manslaughter offence came into place from July 1.

“It is how far you pursue the fault when it’s a family situation that was the difﬁculty that we were having.” Mr Jochinke said that there is concern that there isn’t enough clarity in the legislation even though they may have safety procedures in place. “In farming operations, we already have OHS requirements on providing a safe workplace,” he said. “From our perspective, that was why we were vocal throughout this process. We don’t believe that there are enough safeguards for agriculture in place.” Mr Jochinke said that an exemption

was requested in the legislation but was only acknowledged in the legislation’s preamble. Now that the legislation is in force, Mr Jochinke is encouraging farmers to put in place safeguards to protect not only their workers and family but themselves. “All the OHS requirements still apply but now it takes into account that whoever is in charge of the operation will also potentially be brought to heel,” he said. “It is even more imperative that we make our farmers safer and adopt safer practices and are more aware of the tasks that we are doing. “Farmers need to double down on

all their policies and procedures in place, and that they need to make sure that all of their equipment is as safe as possible. “Farmers need to document any training or inductions on their farm both for themselves and their workers. “The VFF offers a free service for any farmer in Victoria where they can have somebody visit their farm and walk through some of the different elements of farm safety procedure that can be adopted to reduce the risk. “To reduce the risk of anything happening in the ﬁrst place is the best way of doing it.”

Business Trades Directory Pre-Lambing – Capture the Potential By Rural Vision

EARLY life mortality of lambs is a major cost to the Australian sheep industry. Generally these losses get categorised into the following causes, predation, mis-mothering, exposure and starvation (PMES). This outcome is generally accepted by the production community as inevitable. While not all losses post lambing can be avoided, the impact of PMES can generally be related back to the pre-lamb nutrition and metabolic status of the ewe. Background Unofficial industry figures suggest over 10 million lambs die annually with 90% of lamb mortality occurring within 48 hours of birth. This loss is valued at over $540 million per year. The Sentinel Flock Project of 2013 allocated lamb deaths as: • Starvation/Mismothering- 59% • Lambing Difficulty (Dystocia)17% • Exposure- 6% • Predation- 4% • Death in Utero, Infection, Undiagnosed and Misadventure14%. A better understanding of the link between PMES and ewe nutrition prepares producers for better management of the ewe leading into lambing. Predation The percentage of lambs lost to predation is low. Generally lambs weakened by extended lambing period or limited access to Colostrum and Milk are targeted. Exposure Linked to mismothering and the lack of protection being provided by the ewe from cold conditions. However lamb deaths do occur in lambs that are mothered in those regions where severe weather events are common.

Mismothering Is typically the result of a lamb’s inability to maintain contact with the ewe due to a reduction in mobility and energy availability as the result of an extended birthing period and an inability to suckle in the important period post lambing. Starvation Linked to mismothering and the lambs inability to quickly suckle post birth and stay in contact with the ewe in the hours post lambing. Ensuring ewes are in appropriate condition score with adequate quantity and quality of feed available to support high levels of milk production is key to a successful lambing. Time is Crucial At the first contraction the clock starts. The shorter the period from the initial contraction until the lamb is born, significantly improves survival rates. That’s driven by a number of mechanisms; • Transfer of Colostrum is paramount to survival. If lambs don’t access sufficient colostrum in the first 12 hours post lambing, their survival is compromised. • Colostrum is also critical to deliver high levels of energy and protein that lambs need to maintain their mobility and ability to stay with the ewe and prevent PMES. • Extended and repeated contraction on the lamb without a swift exit from the birth canal can cause injury to the brain, reducing suckling response, mobility and ability to keep warm. The Dam is more likely to abandon these lambs. The focus Through gestation, the uterus plays a critical role in the development and protection of the growing foetus. At lambing, the role of the uterus is to deliver the lamb as quickly as possible through the birth canal

with a series of muscle contractions. When the strength of contractions is compromised, the lamb remains in the birth canal for an extended period, leaving it prone to brain and physical injury and reduced energy reserves. These lambs are more likely to fall victim to PMES. Ensuring the ewe is metabolically fit and more able to manage her important muscles at lambing, improves her ability to effectively and efficiently activate uterine contractions that are key to a rapid birthing process. Maintaining strong rumen muscle control is also critical to support digestive efficiency and deliver efficient protein and energy and milk production. Control The metabolic process that determines the ewes muscle management efficiency in the days prior to and through lambing is quite complex. Rural Vision are working with an innovative new business called ProAgni, which has a focus on improving sheep production outcomes through development of effective, value for money nutrition supplements. ProAgni has developed a unique formulation called ProMark, that is focussed on manipulating the metabolic pathway of the ewe that will positively influence her ability to more efficiently manage both her reproductive and digestive muscles through this important phase in our production calendar. • Tim McEwan General Manager Rural Vision is ready to help farmers In additional to that, the ProMark formulation is also designed to have with lambing product requirements. a positive impact on maximising the hd/day to lambing ewes 10-14 days Ionophore free. microbial population of the rumen, prior to lambing and through until Containers can be as simple as delivering higher levels of energy approximately 80% of the mob has drench drums cut in half or more and protein production wether ewes lambed.

Business Trades Directory LEGAL CASE LOOMS OVER GLYPHOSATE

By James Thomas

THERE is growing interest in the use of glyphosate after Bayer attempted to settle a $15.9 billion lawsuit with thousands of litigants in the US over claims that glyphosate causes cancer. On June 24, Bayer settled with US litigants on the use of Roundup, a commonly used herbicide containing glyphosate, which is argued to be a carcinogen linked to nonHodgkin lymphoma. The first class action lawsuit in the Australian Federal Court was launched on April 8 this year by Maurice Blackburn in relation to Roundup. Although there were differences between the US and Australian legal systems, Deakin University Professor Colin Barrow said that the US settlement would be an inducement for Australia to follow suit. “The legal systems are not the same but they are similar enough that there is a lot of interest growing in Australia in terms of individual and class actions,” he said. Professor Colin Barrow said that while it couldn’t be disregarded that glyphosate was potentially carcinogenic to people susceptible, glyphosate was overall relatively safe. “There are a lot of studies on Roundup and glyphosate which have found overall that it is not carcinogenic - and that is most likely the general case - but that doesn’t exclude the possibility that it has caused cancer in an individual who is susceptible,” he said. “It is very difficult to ‘prove’ something has absolutely no carcinogenicity, particularly in susceptible individuals, but the preponderance of evidence indicates that glyphosate is much less carcinogenic than common substances that we are exposed to such as ethanol for example.” The herbicide came under increased scrutiny in 2015 after the France-based International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organisation, classified it as a “probable human carcinogen”. Subsequently, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), Australia’s agricultural and veterinary regulatory body, conducted a weight-ofevidence analysis of studies, including these used by IARC, which concluded that glyphosate was safe to use according to the label directions. In its risk-based assessment, the APVMA weighed the relevance of glyphosate’s practical application and exposure level, something which it argues was not considered by the IARC assessment. Although there is little or no data on its everyday use, Professor Barrow cautions that

it is best practice to use appropriate protection when handling the herbicide. “The strongest evidence used for the IARC conclusion… came from a couple of studies where mice and rats were fed high doses of glyphosate,” he said. “Whether it is probably carcinogenic to humans were it used in the normal way even incorrectly - or at levels present in the environment is a different question from whether or not is has the potential to be carcinogenic under any circumstances. “The level of exposure of chemicals is important and glyphosate is relatively dilute during agricultural use. “Dosage is an important factor which needs to be examined in the case of both environmental and individual exposure.” Victorian Farmers Federation President David Jochinke said that glyphosate was an important tool utilised for conservation farming and that all Ag chemistry needed to be respected. “If you look about all the cases that have been brought up, it’s about the application, not the use of the product,” he said. “We advocate to everyone that they use their personal protective equipment and that they use it according to the label. That is absolutely fundamental to good stewardship.” Mr Jochinke said that the herbicide had brought about many environmental and agricultural benefits in the district. “It has literally made agriculture profitable in some very marginal or dry conditions,” he said. “Without it, it would be completely devastating for a lot of agricultural areas in years where the rainfall is marginal.” Professor Barrow said that the current regulatory risk-benefit analysis by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority was the correct model to assess whether it was appropriate for wide-spread use. “The APVMA approach is a normal regulatory approach and I think it is a very good model to determine if something should be approved for use or not,” he said. “It evaluates the quality and relevance of studies, both published and submitted ones. “This is an appropriate model, otherwise the hurdle for approval would be close to impossible for many products, from drugs to agricultural products. “There is also the possibility that if we were banned, it could be replaced by a less known and potentially more toxic product.” The US settlement was reduced by a judge to $78.5 million on appeal and is currently the subject of further hearings in California Court of Appeal.

Natimuk showground pavilion gets makeover By Chris Michaels

THE Natimuk Show will have a different look about it in 2021 with the showgrounds pavilion to get a complete makeover. After a year of disappointment following the cancellation of this years’ show, the Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society was given a boost with the announcement of federal funding worth $499,000. The funds will be directed towards a complete refurbishment of the pavilion, including new carpets, kitchen, lighting, heating, paint and a new roof. Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth was thrilled with the news. “The government is committed to seeing agricultural shows go on into the future,” she said. “Farming is the backbone of the country. If we don’t have farmers then we don’t have food on the table.”

The pavilion’s renovation will not just benefit the show each year but will have a flow on effect within the community. “All user groups will benefit from the renovation,” Ms Bysouth said. “It will be a godsend to the netball, tennis and football clubs, and the facility will meet all health regulations so it will be available to hire for weddings and functions.” The grant was conditional on being matched by $125,000, and while the society had some money towards that, they were able to get assistance from the council for a low interest loan to help secure the grant. “We are very thankful and grateful to the Horsham Rural City Council for their support,” Ms Bysouth said. “It is so nice to take the pavilion from a 1970s model into 2021.” The federal funding comes from the Showground Development Grants Scheme.

LITTER CONCERNS RAISED By JessieAnne Gartlan

A WIMMERA resident has raised concerns about what she called an increased amount of litter along the Western Highway. Warracknabeal woman Judy Lynch said there was “rubbish all along the highway” when she drove from Ballarat to Horsham recently. “I think someone needs to do something about it. People aren’t eating in so they’re getting their take away and just throwing it away as they drive through. “It was all along the road. It’s not very good for Victoria. We are meant to be the clean state aren’t we?” “It was mostly cups and cans. “People are just eating in their car and throwing it out the window. My son (who was driving) said he’d never seen it so bad, and he does a lot of driving all over the place. “It wouldn’t take you long to fill a bag full of rubbish. Imagine how bad it will be in a few weeks. “There has to be an answer.” An Environment Protection

Agency spokesperson said the organisation had not seen a huge spike in reports of litter being thrown from vehicles. “With fewer vehicles on the road, there has been a general decrease in reports of litter from vehicles,” he said. “However, since April, EPA has issued 31 infringements for litter such as disposable face masks and other items.” The spokesperson encouraged anyone witnessing litter being thrown from a vehicle to record the number plate and report it to the authority. “Members of the public can report litter, or other pollution by calling EPA’s 24 hour hotline on 1300 EPA VIC (1300 372 842), with as much information as possible to assist with any investigation,” he said. Reports can also be made via the Environment Protection Association’s smartphone app. • Rubbish lines the Western Highway near Stawell.

New Murtoa Pool facility near completion MURTOA Swimming Pool toilet block upgrades are near completion. The new facility will replace the previous brick building which had graced the entrance of the pool for many years. The new facilities include two large changerooms with disabled toilets, a medical room, baby change facilities in both changerooms, a kiosk overlooking the pool, showers and toilets available to the public. Funding for the new facility was provided through a Community Sport Infrastructure Grant (Sport and Recreation Victoria), Drought Communities Programme, Murtoa Swimming Pool Committee and Yarriambiack Shire Council totalling $459,380. Murtoa builder D.J. and D.L. Delahunty was the successful contract recipient. Business owner David Delahunty

said the build is now complete and they are just waiting for it to be signed off and the area tidied up. Mr Delahunty said that they were fortunate that the coronavirus didn’t impact the project too much. “We had some stuff that was a little bit difﬁcult to get overall but we are very pleased with the outcome. “We probably started at a time when the virus hadn’t hit yet. It hit about a third of the way through, but we didn’t have too much trouble. We were lucky it didn’t affect anything much. Mr Delahunty said they were happy to receive the project. “We were wrapped to get the project. We used every local plumber, electrician that we could. “We tried to keep it all local if we could,” he said. “All we need now is the warm weather to get here which I’m sure won’t be far away.”

West Wimmera’s positive report card councils in all areas except overall council direction. This area scored 48 compared to an average of 50. The council’s indexed overall performance score was 63, compared with small rural councils average of 56. In the area of community consultation the council scored 59, compared to the small rural councils average of 54.

By JessieAnne Gartlan

THE community has given the West Wimmera Shire Council an above average report card in the 2020 Community Satisfaction Survey. Although most of the performance scores dropped very slightly compared to 2019 results, the council still rated above the state-average for small rural

Council chief executive David Leahy said it was a positive outcome in what had been a difﬁcult time for small government. “The overall rating has dropped by two index points but it’s still well above the state average and considerably above the small rural shires average,” he said. “In a year that could be seen as particularly difﬁcult, I think West Wimmera Shire has done

particularly well.” Councillor Richard Hicks said about 10 percent of the shire had been surveyed, making the scores more relevant than they would be in more populous municipalities that would have a similar sample size to West Wimmera. “The survey results are very satisfying,” he said. Cr Jodie Pretlove said the council’s lobbying work in

Melbourne was paying off, which was reﬂected in the scores. “Our results are at the higher end in comparison with other rural councils and I think that speaks well for us,” she said. “The fact we have made an effort to head to Melbourne annually with our lobbying and advocacy probably does help us and has certainly brought a bit more money back to West Wimmera.”

Motoring PROGRAM TARGETS YOUNG DRIVER SAFETY

A NEW driver training program offers Wimmera teenagers a better chance of avoiding serious injury or loss of life on rural roads. Bendigo-based Road Class driver training specialises in rural road safety and believes its program provides the core messages that can improve young driver behaviour and decisionmaking. “How often do you hear of road safety campaigns targeting rural roads, yet these are the roads where 65 percent of Australia’s road deaths occur each year. Half of young Australians hospitalised each year have been in a road crash,” Road Class’ Andrew Scarce said. “Young drivers are up to 100 percent more likely than older drivers to have a single vehicle crash on a rural road and of course rural roads are very unforgiving. “Rural roads are where young country kids, especially males, become over-conﬁdent and aggressive, overestimate their skills, under-estimate the risks and not believing they’ll crash

because they’re too good a driver on these roads. “Young drivers aren’t all irresponsible sensation-seekers, but they are all inexperienced. Their brains are still forming and they are heavily inﬂuenced by a neurotransmitter called dopamine. “Driver safety has a lot to do with controlling one’s behaviour by being motivated to not take risks and that’s the key aim of my training. “I explain why teens are at risk and why rural roads are so dangerous. I explain in-depth the physics, risks and futility of speed, why fatigue risks peak at certain times, why the brain can’t cope with driving and talking on a phone, how to look after tyres, how to maintain your car, how ABS brakes work, how long it takes to emergency stop and how to take open road corners with stability. “To make the program viable in the Wimmera I need nine L or P platers to sign up. Cost is $90 per participant.” Mr Scarce has trained for more

Levee construction begins By James Thomas

LEVEE construction along Yarriambiack Creek has begun with contractors start constructing earthen levees. Contractors from S and L Engineering have cleared out areas along Warunda Avenue to begin construction on a permanent earthen levee. Costing $551,015, the Warracknabeal Levee Project will involve the construction of multiple permanent earthen levees along Yarriambiack Creek, from Rainbow Road down to Cemetery Road. Yarriambiack Shire Council CEO Jessie Holmes said that council has tried to incorporate the earthen levees construction into its capital works program. “We’ve done permanent mitigation work,” she said. “Where there are roads and tracks, there are some temporary gaps which would be filled on the chance that there is a rain event.” The proposed levee design will combine both temporary and permanent sections of the levee in a similar alignment to that of the January 2011 levee. There are levee construction works scheduled for Rupanyup which had been impacted by the 2011 flood. Ms Holmes said council had entered into negotiations with all landholders and received the consent of all landholders before entering into the contract. The next phase of works on retaining walls and urban levy construction are expected to be completed over the • CONSTRUCTION: S and L Engineering contractors have started clearing sections along the Yarriambiack Creek for the new Warracknabeal levee that will incorporate structures from 2011 flood levees. coming six weeks.

Equipping regional businesses with WorkSafe Victoria training MANY businesses are operating without the knowledge and training they need to ensure they’re equipped with the correct skills required to support their injured workers in the journey back to work. It is a legal requirement in Victoria that employers provide a safe premise for both workers and their visitors. Employers have a responsibility to help injured workers return to safe and sustainable work, which requires the support of employers and Return to Work Coordinators. Any employer with a rateable renumeration of $2 million or more have a legal obligation to have a Return to Work Coordinator employed at all times, and any employer with a rateable renumeration less than $2 million must appoint a Return to Work Coordinator for the duration of obligations when there is an injured worker. Tennille Gould, local Rainbow entrepreneur, could see there was a

need for a Return to Work trained consultant in regional Victoria that could equip local businesses with the correct training and skills required to navigate the often complex and confusing Victorian WorkCover System. Delivering the Victorian WorkSafe Victorian accredited training throughout the North West Victorian region Tennille has been providing much needed consulting and training to businesses and the response has been well accepted. Wimmera Mallee Waste Operations Manager, Graham Nuske, spoke of Tennille's expertise in helping the business. “We have attended courses that Tennille has run as well as contacting her, and using her services with Work Cover related issues,” Graham said. “We have found Tennille to be extremely practical in her approach, advising us when we speak to her that we are “on the right track” or letting

us know of a better way to approach matters. “Tennille helped us put together a Return To Work program for an employee, and even submitted it on our behalf. While what we were going to submit was OK, Tennille was able to put the whole submission together in a more professional way, and expand on areas that needed to be. This all resulted in our Return To Work Plan being accepted by the doctors on the first go. “Tennille’s availability is also a positive for her. Emails or phone calls are returned in a timely manner. And more importantly when contacting her, no question is to small or trivial. “We would highly recommend all courses and services that Tennille offers,” he said.

BOOST FOR BOWLS CLUB

Motorcycle club flexible with changes By Connor McKenzie

• Dimboola Bowling Club president Darryl Argall and members are excited due to their successful grant application.

THE Dimboola Bowls Club and Rainbow Recreation Reserve have been successful in securing funds worth $390,000 that will boost and assist the clubs in upgrading their facilities. Provided by the Victorian Government’s 2020-2021 Local Sport Infrastructure Fund, the grant is a big win for the Dimboola Bowls Club and Rainbow Recreation Reserve who now have the means to continue providing state of the art facilities for the wider community. The clubs are two of 100 across the state receiving funds from the $30 million pool the Victorian Government has in share. The Dimboola Bowling Club will receive $163,500. The upgrades at Dimboola Bowling Club include the installation of a synthetic surface to green B including an integrated ramp to assist independent access to the green and upgraded and increased provision of shaded seating. It also includes the provision of an additional synthetic bowling green

that will double the programming capacity and enable increased participation. “We really needed another synthetic green to enable the highly successful ‘night bowls’ series, of which 72 bowlers compete during that series,” Dimboola Bowling Club president Darryl Argall said. “As our members age, it has come down to half a dozen members doing most of the grass green preparation, which takes away much of the enjoyment of bowls for those members.” “It’s a lot of hard work, up to 15 hours per week of watering, mowing and rolling the green for these members and the new green will make bowls much more enjoyable for all.” “It’s not just the amount of work involved, but there is also the cost factor of a large amount of water, fertiliser and chemicals for weed control and of course the upkeep of equipment,” he said. “This will be a huge boost for the club potentially ‘future proofing’ the

bowling club membership. I believe this will make current membership more attractive to new members and will definitely add another 20 years to the future life of the club.” The Rainbow Recreation Reserve will receive $226,640 to construct new facilities, including women friendly change rooms aimed to support women and girls participation. The investment aims to recognise the overwhelming demand for shovel-ready community sports infrastructure across Victoria and includes additional funding provided through the Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program. The provision of new female friendly change rooms and facilities at the Rainbow Recreation Reserve will give Jeparit Rainbow Football Netball Club and Rainbow Tennis Club participants access to safe, modern and compliant facilities to further enhance participation and create an inclusive environment for women and girls.

TOUGH GOING ON TRACK

WIMMERA greyhound trainers have had a tough couple of weeks at the Horsham circuit, failing to trouble the scorer in terms of wins on the board due to stronger fields through higher race nominations and upcoming feature racing at Horsham. This hasn’t meant it’s been all doom and gloom, only the need to travel further afield to find suitable races. Ballarat last Friday being a case in point with locals taking out the first three races on the card. Race one and race three were taken out by Bruce and Heather Baxter (Murtoa) with Blue Crayon and Weblec Pearl. Both were well fancied in the market starting $4.30 and $1.70 on the TAB. Both races were maidens and the break through gave Blue Crayon her first win at her seventh start and Weblec Pearl recording her win at her fifth start. The Baxters have over recent times formed a strong

relationship with one of Victoria’s leading breeders and trainer, Angela Langton and this means they regularly in the winners list with young dogs starting their racing career. Squeezed in the middle of Baxters wins was John Weir-Smith (Horsham) who won with Rona Express who also broke her maiden status at her sixth start. Well fancied in the market at $2.30, Rona Express gave nothing else a chance leading from box rise and winning by almost four lengths. Rona Express is part of the litter which includes Jono’s Express and Last Shot who are both recent winners and are owned by Warracknabeal Cabinet Maker Clinton Jonasson. Ballarat again proved a fruitful circuit on Monday when Horsham Greyhound Racing Club Vice President Bob Taylor (Warracknabeal) took the lightly raced Nitro Georgie for a 390m maiden and she duly saluted at the odds on price of $1.70.

After five starts the win was the first for Nitro Georgie to go with two placings. Importantly she ran an reasonable time for early in the meeting and Taylor will be hoping that she now progresses through her grades. Garry George (Beulah) wasn’t quite as lucky with two runners placing at Bendigo in Super Big and Plumber. The latter backing up at Horsham and running a gallant second in slick time on Tuesday. With the escalation of the Coronavirus cases in Victoria all three racing codes will be hoping that tougher restrictions are not brought in which could limit the ability to continue racing which would be disappointing given with how well the industry has so far managed in these tough times. In the meantime Horsham continue racing in own regular Tuesday timeslot. Justin Brilliant, Manager Horsham Racing Club

THE Horsham Motorcycle Club are continuing to be flexible with the ongoing COVID-19 situation, as the club prepares to host a club day to give riders a chance to hit the track. While official events at the club have not been penciled in, the club continues to give riders across the district the opportunity to participate, with the club days aiming to continue participation in the sport. Horsham Motorcycle Club president Cory Watts said it’s hard to tell what future official events may look like at the club, but said the club is aiming to keep riders in the region on the bikes. “As the situation continues to change it’s hard to tell what events may be held at the club in the future,” Watts said. “We are hosting club days to ensure that our great club members can continue to ride, despite there being no official championships being run. “These club days will not be connected to the official club championships, as we get riders from both down south in metropolitan Melbourne and west in South Australia, so it would be unfair to those competitors if these days were included. The Horsham Motorcycle Club

has been hosting ride days created by Motorcycling Victoria in lieu of official events, which has given the opportunity to riders to train and practice their skills. “These ride days have been seeing great support. We’ve had three so far and we have been averaging 30 riders for each day,” Watts said. The Horsham Motorcylce Club hosted a meeting last Wednesday night to discuss the plan for the club for the forthcoming months ahead.

CONTACT TRAINING PUT ON HALT By Connor McKenzie

THE resumption of full contact training for sport squads has been put on hold due to the increase in COVID-19 transmission, with no clear return date set by the state government. Full contact training was scheduled to commence on July 13. With a significant increase in coronavirus cases in metropolitan Melbourne, and active cases in a number of regional communities across the state, the Chief Health Officer has determined regional community sport must remain noncontact. Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence said the decision was necessary to prevent the spread. “This decision will be tough for many regional Victorian clubs and communities and it was not taken lightly, but is essential to slow the spread of coronavirus and save lives,” Ms Spence said. “Further easing of restrictions, including target dates, will be considered by the Chief Health Office by the end of July. “In better news for many of our regions, full training and competition for players aged 18 and under can continue.”

The news is positive for the region’s sporting clubs who are planning to resume play for junior teams and squads, however senior contact competitions will now face another hurdle in their restarts. The Western Victorian Female Football League are one of many leagues planning to resume both senior and junior competitions, but the delay of full contact training for over 18s may make the senior restart a tricky task or even unviable in 2020. AFL Western Victoria Operations Manager Matthew Ross said that clubs in the WVFFL are still committed to having a senior season regardless of the length of the competition. “We are continuing our discussions with the club this week and we will have more news on the competition next week, but clubs are still very keen,” Ross said. “There is still a real appetite for footy, even if that ends up only being a few friendly matches between teams before we have the switch into summer sports. “The positive is that the junior competition will still get underway as planned, and we are really looking forward to seeing our young girls out on the field.”

JEPARIT CLUBS GRACED WITH GRANTS

COUGHLIN GREENS TO BE MODERNISED By Connor McKenzie

COUGHLIN Park Bowls Club will have two new synthetic greens installed after Horsham Rural City Council successfully applied for Victorian Government funding. The club, the last in Horsham with all grass greens, will receive $250,000 in state funding to upgrade to the modern alternative. Council will contribute $10,000 from its annual Community Development Grants Program and Coughlin Park is providing $104,900. In addition to the two synthetic greens, the club will also ensure the venue has all-abilities access, with ramps to be built as part of the development. Mayor Mark Radford said HRCC applied for the funding on behalf of the bowls club during February this year. “Over the past five years, bowling clubs within Horsham have transitioned from lawn greens to synthetic surfaces for a number of reasons including drought and water supply issues, maintenance costs, burden on ageing volunteers, all year round useability, and ability to engage qualified and experienced green keepers,” Cr Radford said. “Council has also supported successful funding applications through Sport and Recreation • Jeparit Golf Club is one of two new sport clubs who have been awarded $1,000 grants.

By Connor McKenzie

JEPARIT Tennis Club and Jeparit Golf Club have both been awarded $1,000 grants as part of the State Government’s Community Sport Sector COVID-19 Survival Package. These grants from the State Government’s $40 million community sport package aim to make it easier for clubs to support players and volunteers as Victorians start to train together again and look to a return to competition. “Sports clubs and active recreational bodies are an integral

part of our community and this support will help them pay the bills and make an eventual return to play and recreational activities that little bit easier,” Labor member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said. Jeparit Tennis and Jeparit Golf clubs join the growing list of Wimmera clubs receiving the survival package grants. Jeparit Golf Club president Brett Ireland said that the grant will be helpful in maintaining the day to day activities of the club. “We’ve been hosting a few corporate events so far this year for

our members and we sometimes trade at a loss with these events, so these grants will be really helpful in our general maintenance of the grounds,” Ireland said. “Paying for chemicals and fuel for the tractors is an essential part of the club’s maintenance, so we are grateful that we have the assistance to keep providing golf to the community.” Jeparit Golf Club has recently opened a new outdoor area for golfers to socialise, which includes an outdoor bar overlooking the course.

These same COVID-19 challenges have led the AFL Wimmera Mallee officials and clubs participating in the junior structure to act cautiously, as the state continues to manage the spread of the virus. “The overwhelming theme was that in the current environment of continued COVID-19 infections in Victoria, that the safety of players, umpires, volunteers, players and supporters could not be protected,” Area Manager for AFL Wimmera Mallee Jason Muldoon said. “While there are no current recorded infections in the Wimmera/ Mallee region, the reported influx of visitors from areas across the

state to our region was considered, and it was decided that it was best to wait two weeks to seek further information from the state government.” AFL Wimmera Mallee aim to have a new working draw and protocols released within the next few weeks. The proposed junior structure has been met with support from a majority of Wimmera and Horsham District clubs, however four clubs have decided to sit out the 2020 competition. Taylors Lake, Edenhope-Apsley, Harrow-Balmoral and the Warrack Eagles will not be fielding teams in the altered competition.

FORTNIGHT DELAY FOR WFL JUNIORS By Connor McKenzie

FOOTBALL and netball in the Wimmera region continues to face significant challenges, with the redesigned junior competition consisting of clubs from the Wimmera Football League, Wimmera Netball Association and the Horsham District Football and Netball league delaying their start to the competition. The AFL Wimmera Mallee junior competition, which was announced early in July to fill the void of regional football and netball left due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been delayed by a fortnight, now aiming to get underway on August 8.

Victoria for the installation of two synthetic greens at Horsham City Bowling Club and Sunnyside Bowling Club. “Horsham Golf Bowls Club have recently transitioned their single green from grass to synthetic,” Coughlin Park Bowls Club secretary Mick Ellis said the club is gracious of the funds being allocated to the club. “We are very grateful for the grant, we thank the Horsham City Council for their work in helping us secure the grant,” Ellis said. “The costs of maintenance for our greens was placing a big ask on our members, including voluntary labour with mowing and rolling, so the new turf will reduce the burden on our members and reduce costs. “Currently we’ve only been able to bowl during the summer, so the new turf will allow us to play bowls all year round.” A new all abilities access ramp will also be installed. The club has also recently purchased ‘Jack Attack’ kits for juniors and seniors which brings a new and quicker form of the game to the club, which will aim to increase participation. “These kits alongside the new greens will allow us to attract new players to bowls which we are really excited about,” Ellis said.

FRESH BOARD GOAL FOR HCA By Connor McKenzie

HORSHAM Cricket Association will look to unveil a fresh new board to oversee the competition for the 2020/21 season, with all five current members set to resign their posts by the month’s end. The HCA will host its Annual General Meeting on July 27, as the current board looks to seek new nominations for any persons interested in managing the forthcoming season. Outgoing HCA secretary Darren Chesterfield is calling upon passionate cricket and community individuals to lead the competition. “We’re expecting some good people to put their hand up for the roles,” Chesterfield said. “While we don’t know exactly what to expect, considering the challenges that may arise from the whole board resigning their posts, we’re confident in securing a board dedicated to the health of the competition.” The HCA has already faced some challenging decisions in the past months, with the competition deciding not to award premiers at the conclusion of the season - a decision brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. “The decision to end the season early and not award premiers was a tough choice to make, and was met with criticism and controversy, which we as a board understood,” Chesterfield said. “We believe we were a good functioning board, acting only in the best interests of the league, but unfortunately the criticism got too personal on some levels and there is a limit to unreasonable behaviour. “By resigning we are hoping a fresh board and set of eyes can guide the competition on.” The current board holds over 30 years of combined experience, including Chesterfield who has

been involved with the board for over 11 years. “With the absence of major winter sports, there is a growth opportunity present for cricket in the region if the competition is managed well,” Chesterfield said. Other significant decisions will have to be carefully considered in the coming months for the Horsham Cricket Association, which include mediation for clubs that did not receive premierships at the conclusion of the 2019/20 season and the challenges facing the commencement of the 2020/21

season. New game adaptations including ball shining rules will also have to be managed. “There will be significant challenges, but we are hoping that we can secure an independent board that has the best interests of the game and the competition at heart,” Chesterfield concluded. HCA are now accepting new nominations, with nominees having to pass the baseline requirements of support from two clubs or one club and one sitting board member.
