BORDER CLOSURE LIFELINE By Chris Michaels
A FARMING family just 20 minutes from the South Australian border has been offered a possible life line after border closure announcements left them devastated last week. Last week the South Australian Government announced a hard border closure will be put in place from Friday August 21, with exemptions only for essential workers, farmers with properties on both sides of the border, and Year 11 and 12 students. Previously, Victorian residents living within 40-kilometres of the border could cross it provided they travelled no further than 40-kilometres. Grain farmer Jonathan Dyer, primary school teacher Tiarnee and their three young daughters live on the edge of Kaniva. Their two year old daughter Mabel suffers from hip dysplasia, a medical condition where the hip socket doesn’t fully cover the ball portion of the upper thighbone. She has been in leg braces for the majority of her life. Mr Dyer said yesterday he received confirmation from SA Health that an exemption was possible but on an appointment by appointment basis. It comes as the family’s situation made national headlines. “Late yesterday afternoon we had an assurance from SA Health that should we require further appointments in person or surgery that that would happen,” Mr Dyer said. Mr Dyer said an appointment in person was in place but that was changed to a tele-health appointment. “We did have an appointment in a fortnight that was to be face to face, but that was changed to a telehealth appointment,” Mr Dyer said.
• The Dyer family has been granted a small reprieve in the cross border chaos, but many more families remain cut off from essential services, jobs and family.
“We were told that the specialist did not want to see a patient from out of state. Can you imagine sending us to Melbourne, with the virus issues there for treatment?” Mr Dyer said the “one size fits all” regulations were wrong. “One size does not fit all, and it seems a very cruel and unnecessary thing to do,” he said. “We are in the West Wimmera area and there have been no instances of community transmission of the
virus at all. “We went across to Adelaide in June and showed evidence at the border, but now three weeks ago SA Health cancelled the appointment before the premier’s announcement. “Now SA Health won’t give us proof of the appointment because they already cancelled it. They say we have no evidence of an appointment, so they won’t do an exemption.” While Mr Dyer and his family
were pleased with the less-stringent attitude and possible in-person appointments in the future, he was concerned for his wife and other local Kaniva residents who are still in limbo. “There probably won’t be any work for Tiarnee (who is a primary school teacher in Bordertown) after Friday at the school,” Mr Dyer said. “And it looks like the primary school will lose three staff members.”
Ms Dyer said the mixed messaging from SA Health regarding her daughter’s appointment and ongoing treatment has been stressful and unhelpful. “The hospital seems to be making up their own rules,” she said. “We’re just trying to do the right thing by our daughter. We want her to be able to play netball and run around in the future.”

OPINION by Keep the Original Route Supporters
LET’S GET SOCIAL
Back to Basics required on Western Highway Upgrade
The community agrees a safe road is needed on the Western Highway. The issue is WHERE the Highway is built. The Djabwurrung want to preserve their sacred land, Environmentalists want to preserve threatened ecosystems. MRPV want to build a safe Highway. Safety and preservation are not mutually exclusive. We can have both. MRPV says correct process was followed to select Option 1 as their route from Buangor to Ararat. Option 1 destroys culturally signiďŹ cant land and ecosystems critically endangered nationwide. These points are well documented. BUT, has anyone asked.. Was the information used in the process accurate? Does the process MRPV followed reect

the values of todays community or does it rely on outdated State and Federal Environment Laws. If, as MRPV say, environment and not cost was the determining factor in route selection, why have they chosen a route that bulldozes a trench 50 metres wide, in places 15 metres deep through 5.7km of sacred land, precious habitat and productive land? Co-existence of a safe road and preservation of bush and cultural heritage is possible, and would come from the design of the road not the location. A road built to the right standard, kept clear of the very old trees and the grassy woodland, placed near the current highway, is feasible. Let’s get back to the basics, look at the new information, and review where the Highway is built, what can be avoided and what can be saved.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CRACKS IN THE SYSTEM Dear Editor Each day that the COVID-19 pandemic persists, more cracks appear in the system. Our State and Federal leaders are engaged in the most grinding marathon of their lives. And it is far from over. Running on adrenaline, our leaders’ minds and bodies must be near exhaustion. How could any of us endure such pressure day after day? These are the circumstances under which serious mistakes are likely to occur. A wellfunctioning public service should reduce the risk of mistakes, but we do not have a wellfunctioning public service; the evidence is painfully laid out before us each day. As our leaders tire, we can only expect the situation to deteriorate, placing all our lives and businesses at risk! And as the Greek philosopher Euripides proclaimed in 400 BC, “Whom the Gods would destroy they ďŹ rst make mad.â€? There are two fundamental causes of this failure of the public service. The ďŹ rst is the hollowing out of the public service due to ongoing austerity and cost cutting across all departments and over many decades. This has resulted in the loss of expertise and the breakdown of effective mentoring for new recruits. The second is the replacement of dedicated fearless senior public servants with ideological hacks. Whilst in government, all political parties are culpable. For example, when I started farming in the early 1960s, the Department of Agriculture believed it was in the public good to invest in research and extension as well as regulatory responsibilities. Over the intervening years the focus has changed to making the Minister look good. Both major parties are culpable here as well. And so today we are faced with a charade of stuff ups; from border crossings for agricultural workers and produce, to meat works and wool auctions.
Basically, the problem is we do not have the robust corporate knowledge left in the Departments to do the pre- planning, nor are they ready to offer sound advice when it is needed. Pity our leaders and pity us! But all of us are derelict in our duty as citizens if we fail to ask who is responsible for this state of affairs, then persist until the answers are received. Peter Small Dear Editor There is a consistent need for community vigilance in order to prevent the vandalism in Horsham of street trees planted by Council. These comments follow recent deliberate damage to 27 young trees in Natimuk Road and Laurel Street. The committee is greatly disappointed with the actions of some members of our community with the senseless destruction of public property. These actions require all of us to report any instance of vandalism, grafďŹ ti or anti-social practices to police. It is our responsibility to ensure that the wonderful facilities and community assets that we all take for granted are not destroyed or damaged by a misguided few. The destruction of these street trees negates up to ďŹ ve years of growth development and care by our council. The Horsham Community and Police Consultative Committee has an objective of working with agencies, including police and council, to “enhance the safety and securityâ€? of our community. The wanton destruction of street trees, as reported recently, indicates a breakdown of value and respect of the environment and the liveability we enjoy in our everyday life in Horsham. As chairman of this community committee, I encourage all to report vandalism and antisocial crime, and share any information on instances and persons with the police. We must ensure attitudes of disrespect by the minority are isolated.
MEMBER for Mallee Anne Webster has told of the “devastation� the latest cross border restrictions from South Australia have caused. On Wednesday the South Australian government announced a hard border closure will be put in place from Friday August 21, with exemptions only for essential workers, farmers with properties on both sides of the border, and Year 11 and 12 students.
Good luck Anne Webster. I hope that you and hopefully Premier Dan will be able to help the Border people. It is a bit ridiculous, especially as the Covid count is low or non-existent in these areas.
Deborah Hallam
Our committee has, over many years, been responsible for promoting the installation of CCTV monitoring, which we hope may assist in identifying vandalism offenders. Our committee has also championed the installation of deďŹ brillators around Horsham Central Business locations, the reporting and advocacy of removal of grafďŹ ti attacks whilst providing moral and practical support to service agencies to ensure their service and commitment to our Community wellbeing is both recognised and assisted. Street tree and other Public Infrastructure vandalism is an ongoing focus for our committee. The request by Horsham Rural City Council and Horsham Police for any information that may lead to prosecution of the person or persons responsible for recent vandalism and attacks on street trees in Horsham must be encouraged. Our committee members look forward to the efforts of council to enhance our streetscapes by the planting of trees being respected by all. Chair of Horsham Community and Police Consultative Committee David Eltringham Dear Editor, Retirement from Hindmarsh Shire Council As the current Council term comes to an end, I want to write and acknowledge the work that Hindmarsh Shire Council has undertaken in recent years to improve the amenity of Dimboola. A lot of work has been undertaken to improve the infrastructure of our town and I appreciate the support my fellow councillors have provided to make that happen. A number of relatively large works still need to be undertaken before the town reaches a suitable standard. Completion of a number of streets, kerb and channel and footpath in the central town grid should be a priority, as should be the replacement of the change-rooms and pavilion in the Dimboola Recreation Reserve. The challenge for the community is to maintain
I live in Thailand, not a ďŹ rst world country like Australia. When we had our severe lockdown some months ago, common sense still prevailed. A letter from a doctor or employer was required to cross district borders, which were all guarded by police and army, and people could pass through in need. These blanket border closures in Australia are nonsensical, particularly in areas where there are no Covid cases. What’s with Australia and border protection?!
Jacinta Plazzer
pressure on Council to ensure that these signiďŹ cant works are prioritised and funded, sooner rather than later, because the creation of a more desirable environment is what will motivate people to live and visit here. Soon the community will have the opportunity to elect a new Council. Dimboola will be best served by electing representatives with a passion for our community, but who can also work cooperatively and in a balanced way with their fellow councillors. I am retiring from Council at this year’s election. I thank the people of Dimboola and District for the privilege of representing you over the last eight years. No doubt I have failed people at some stage, but please know that I have always endeavoured to do my best for you given the constraints that time, energy and other commitments often present. In the event that Cr Nelson decides to renominate for election, I encourage you to give her the opportunity to continue serving the East Ward. She is a passionate advocate for Dimboola and for fair and reasonable Council decisions and outcomes. I particularly want to acknowledge the commitment and dedication shown by Cr Nelson, and Cr Wendy Robins in the previous term, given the challenges of working within a male dominated council. The election presents an opportunity for all motivated women, and young people, to nominate for election and potentially be a part of, and shape, a more contemporary and representative Hindmarsh Shire Council. I look forward to the results of the election and congratulate all candidates on their preparedness to stand up and represent their community. I expect you will ďŹ nd it a nervous and exciting thing to do, but if you are fortunate to be elected, be encouraged to know that you will mostly ďŹ nd it a rewarding and gratifying honour. Yours sincerely, Cr Tony Schneider Dimboola

BORDER PERMIT USELESS TO LOCAL FARMERS By Caitlyn Quinn
WARRACKNABEAL resident Chris Taylor says a new permit for Victorian agricultural workers to enter New South Wales is all but useless to him. Mr Taylor has 10,000 acres of crops and 15,000 sheep in Euston, and while the property is only 25 kilometres into NSW, he lives more than 100 kilometres from the Victoria-NSW border so the permit does not apply to him. The permit, announced on Tuesday, enables workers to cross the VictoriaNSW border only if they live within 100 kilometres of the border from the Victorian side. New South Wales Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall said the permit was intended to address the need for Victorian agricultural workers outside of the 40 km ‘border-bubble’ to travel up to 100 kilometres north of the border. Mr Taylor voiced his frustrations on Facebook in a video on Tuesday that has been viewed over 4500 times and garnered over 600 comments. In the video he detailed the struggle he has had in the last two weeks, trying to get 43 tonnes of hay to his sheep. Mr Taylor said there is a disconnect between the policies being created and what farmers actually need. He said the state governments are “not interacting with the farmers in any way”. A spokesperson for Minister Marshall said that farmers who are in Mr Taylor’s position are welcome to apply for an exemption that will be
assessed on a ‘case-by-case’ basis. Two weeks ago, border restrictions changed and Victorian agriculture workers outside of the ‘border-bubble’ were no longer able to cross into New South Wales, and Mr Taylor has been unable to access his property since. Victorian workers were told if they wanted to cross the border they were required to drive to Melbourne, fly to Sydney and then quarantine for two weeks before travelling to their place of work. Prime Minister Scott Morrison heard Mr Taylor discussing his problem on the radio on Wednesday morning and said he would look into the issue and try to address it. Chris Bartlett, a grain farmer in Pimpinio is also outside of the permit zone. He owns a harvesting business that travels over the border and said the current system “just doesn’t work”. He said, “We’ve got machinery to take up; utes and vehicles and pick up fronts and infrastructure as well and that doesn’t work, not in our industry.” According to Minister Marshall, farmers needing to travel more than 100 kilometres into NSW can apply for an exemption. Mr Bartlett’s harvesting business travels well beyond that threshold, all the way up through NSW to Northern Queensland. He said the permit “will work well for local people who work both sides (of the border), but for contractors, we’re going to the northern edge of NSW”. A spokesperson from the NSW Agriculture Minister said the 100

Physical distancing and the restrictions bought about to help stop the spread of Coronavirus has left many feeling disconnected – from friends, colleagues, family and society. However, help is now easy to access through the Victorian Government’s Community Activation and Social Isolation initiative. As part of this initiative, the Australian Red Cross is now contactable through the DHHS Coronavirus hotline, allowing all Victorians access to support during this challenging time. To reach an Australian Red Cross volunteer through the hotline, dial 1800 675 398 and press 3. The volunteer will discuss what support is required and can listen to any worries or concerns the individual may have. Uniting Wimmera, with contributions from Horsham Rural City Council’s Relief Committee is also providing support by acting as a Community Connector.

“Having that support can be less stressful for parents,” Ms Vogel said. Patients in rural areas can also access the Victorian Patient Transport Access Scheme, who can cover some of the travel and accommodation costs associated with medical treatment as long as that travel is for a minimum of 100 kilometers one way.

A WIMMERA Southern Mallee health initiative is helping vulnerable border communities access health services after harsh border closures were announced last week. The South Australian Government said from August 21 medical care will no longer be a reason for residents of Victorian border communities to enter South Australia.
BY FIVE consists of five geographic clusters in the Wimmera Southern Mallee and aims to improve health outcomes in children by age five. It is a joint initiative between the Department of Education and Training and the Department of Health and Human Services, with support from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. Now the organisation has suggested
a number of alternative access options in light of the restrictions. Chair Emma Vogel said the aim BY FIVE was to utilise the services available and to focus on how those services are distributed. “The difficulty for rural communities is that a lot of people access specialist health services in Adelaide,” Ms Vogel said. “Telehealth appointments are a way of avoiding significant on-going costs
Ms Dyer said her daughter was very resilient and continued to be brave throughout the ordeal. “She’s had no choice but to be,” Ms Dyer said. “She was plastered at 12 weeks old and after the plaster came off it took her awhile to reach her developmental milestones. “She doesn’t like the brace, but she won’t let anything stand in her way.” Meanwhile West Wimmera Shire Council is seeking further clarification on the tough new border restrictions, as well as looking for ways to help affected community members. The council has several towns within 40 kilometres of the border, including Kaniva, Edenhope and Apsley. West Wimmera Shire chief executive David Leahy met with the Cross-Border Commissioner and other affected council leaders last Thursday. “We still don’t have a lot of answers unfortunately, but we are doing our best to get them,” Mr Leahy said. Mr Leahy said council was not immune to the effects of the new border restrictions. “We have many staff members
that live across the border and unfortunately there is no easy fix for them,” Mr Leahy said. “We think many of them won’t be able to cross the border for work purposes.” Mr Leahy said the border restrictions were causing great distress to many families in West Wimmera Shire. “Access to medical treatment is a big concern for residents who have previously seen doctors or specialists in South Australia and have done so for many years,” he said. “There are also issues with children crossing the border to go to school and families receiving infant care in South Australia. Farming is another big concern for residents, with many people relying on South Australia for machinery parts, service and labour.” West Wimmera Shire Council staff are now liaising with Victorian health and support agencies about this issue, and would endeavour to keep the community informed about the border restrictions as more information came to light.

Grampians climbers to face further restrictions being assessed. The two areas covered by the restrictions are Taipan Wall, a popular climbing area, and Bundaleer. Local Natimuk climber Louise Shepherd said that right now climbers are “mourning the loss of Taipan Wall and Bundaleer, as you’d mourn the loss of an old friend. “We’ve been climbing in those places for over 50 years,” Ms Shepherd said. “Climbers respect and celebrate cultural heritage, and we are hopeful that we can continue to climb within some limitations, and preserve cultural heritage at the same time.” Claire Evans from the Gariwerd Wimmera Reconciliation Network said, “a balanced approach with

The network is a local group made up of mainly climbers who respect and acknowledge the traditional owners, and try to work with them on a solution so climbers and the historical significance of the climbing areas are maintained. “Hopefully we can co-exist,” Ms Evans said. “It’s fair to say that there are some not too positive feelings towards Parks Victoria from the climbing community. “The focus of our relationship is to be supportive of the traditional owners, and making informed decisions into the future.” A spokesperson for the Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation said, “GMTOAC have worked alongside BGLC and EMAC for
the protection and management of cultural heritage and rock art sites across the Gariwerd landscape and supports Parks Victoria in their statutory role upholding the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006.” Regional director of Parks Victoria Jason Borg said, “We have a legislated responsibility to protect the natural and cultural values of the national park and we ask visitors to respect the protection zones being put in place while a longer-term approach is determined through a new management plan.” “We know that these protection zones extend across highly regarded climbing areas. We will continue to consult with climbers and hope we can work together to protect and celebrate these unique rediscoveries.”
GRAMPIANS TOURISM CALLS FOR BALANCE IN ACCESS DEBATE By Chris Michaels
GRAMPIANS Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman has stressed the need for balance when it comes to discussion on tourism versus the respect for the traditional owners in the Grampians. “I think communication will play a key role,” Mr Sleeman said. “Parks Victoria has a challenging role to play as the mediator between the climbing aspect and tourism, and the Traditional Owners. “And we need continuity for our local tourism operators too.” While the coronavirus has played havoc with
tourism in regional Victoria this year, Mr Sleeman said the signs pointed to a quick recovery for the Grampians. “We saw that June was the biggest June in our history,” Mr Sleeman said. “I think once the recovery from the virus starts we’ll see our region recover quickly. I have full confidence in that recovery.” Mr Sleeman said that one of the few positives of the pandemic has been the increased relationship between Grampians Tourism and the local councils. “Our partnerships with local councils has been better than ever,” he said. “COVID-19 has really highlighted the importance of the visitor economy.”
“Think about who you love, then think about them in ICU.” For Sarah, who’s been battling coronavirus for nearly 8 weeks, being separated from her two little boys, has been heartwrenching. On top of coronavirus attacking every one of her body systems, intense pain and acute breathing difficulty, she still has no idea when she will be well enough to see her boys. Sarah’s hope is that by us all doing the right thing, no one else will have to experience the heartache her family has. Please, play your part and help stop the spread of the virus.

Veterans’ Voices MAY FLORENCE LANGDON (THOMAS) RUMPFF – AANS STAFF NURSE MAY Florence Langdon Thomas was a staff nurse in the Australian Army Nursing Service. She was born on December 16, 1885 in Horsham, Victoria. She was the daughter of Tuberville Thomas and Mary Jane nee Heslop. May served in Australia. She married Robert Carl Rumpff. May died on 6th August 1991 at Latrobe Valley Nursing Home, Victoria at a grand age of 106 years old. This is her story in her own words: “The nurses of today are no good. I said to Matron the other day, ‘What’s gone wrong with the nursing staff . . . I said they’re like kangaroo dogs trying to be sheepdogs.’ She said it’s not like in my day and your day. We had to work and use initiative.â€? Though mostly bedridden, and despite her stated dissatisfaction with modern nursing, May Rumpff was the darling of Moe’s Latrobe Valley Nursing Home. At 105 years of age she was remarkably brighteyed and alert. She vividly recalls her life as the matron of a hospital in the remote gold mining town of Walhalla, and her own skills and initiative were put to the test on Black Friday, January 13, 1939, when the worst bushďŹ re in Victoria’s history claimed seventy-one lives. Alerted by telephone from nearby Erica, May doused her house with water. Leaving her family, she set off on duty. “I went out and brought in my very bad burns cases in a two-ton truck. We were surrounded by ďŹ re and the driver said to me, ‘Matron, what are we going to do if we’re surrounded?’ and I said ‘drive through and trust to the Lord.’ And a tree fell and hit the truck, one end hit me and the other end hit the patient. He was the ex-Superintendent of police, by the name of Bolton. He’d got into a tank of water and it’d boiled. I had him rolled in cream and a sheet and my petticoat around him and all I had on was my dress. Another man, I put my pants on his
face to shield him from the heat. You see, you had burning leaves ying all the time.â€? Bolton was dead by the time the stricken party reached Trafalgar. May knelt in the back of the truck for the duration of the ďŹ ve hour journey to the nearest medical attention in Warragul. Despite pleas from a doctor for herself to be hospitalised, duty came ďŹ rst! She returned to treat more burns cases. “Little kids that were in houses were burnt ... they were near enough to being blistered and I covered them with cream. We had six cows, so I took out cream and put the cream on. It never blistered with the cream. It keeps the air out. They’d smell like cheese, you know.â€? May also applied a balsam of glycerine and tannic acid. She carries a scar on her forehead where she was struck by the tree. Born at Drung Drung near Horsham in 1885, as a girl May remembers how her hair caught ďŹ re while cleaning the chimney ashes, though her burns were only superďŹ cial. After farm life, she started nursing training in Melbourne during World War One, graduating in 1917. Working in army hospitals in the Melbourne suburbs of McLeod and CaulďŹ eld for 14 hours a day, and solely responsible for the care of several large wards of patients, she tended the ďŹ rst horriďŹ c casualties from the ill-fated
Gallipoli campaign. “We used to have the convoys coming in and we had to look for the meat ticket (identiďŹ cation tag). Gunshot wounds and shrapnel, all sorts . . . some had their face shot off, half their face was gone or their leg was gone, their hand was gone.â€? She recalls hearing of the frightful conditions Australian soldiers endured on the Gallipoli Peninsula and how a boatload of sheets for bedding was sunk in Anzac Cove. Later in the war she tended victims of chemical warfare, including deadly mustard gas. “The worst cases had burnt lungs as well as their body. We had to get the olive oil down their neck. “Sometimes they were burnt all over, their face and hands and body and all was burnt and dried up. You’ve seen a dry boot haven’t you? Like that, and you had to rub the oil into it. There were no painkillers then.â€? May also tended victims suffering the little known condition of war neurosis. One ofďŹ cer, weighing twenty-two stone, would only allow May, then known as Sister Thomas, to lift him from his bed to wash him. “Another man, he was mental, and he was throwing me over the balcony, and I was on the balcony on the third oor and I was hanging on and hanging on to him.â€? A surgeon saw the incident and called for help. “The orderlies held a blanket
21st Battalion. In the wards, May’s intuitive belief was to never turn her back to anyone. This was borne out when she and another sister went to walk through a doorway. May had a premonition of danger, and held her colleague back. “She was a senior and was ahead of me and I felt there was something wrong and I pulled her back. She said ‘What did you do that for?’ and I said ‘look up’, and there was a knife coming down towards her. I said ‘you’d have got that’. Again a shell shocked soldier was to blame. You had to watch everything.â€? At the end of the war, an inuenza plaque swept Melbourne followed by a meningitis outbreak. May was responsible for 190 men housed in tents in a makeshift hospital. She administered excruciatingly large needles into the fourth vertebrae of the spine to draw off uid. Inuenza victims, says May, were sponged all over with cold water and methylated spirits to keep their temperature down. Medical staff worked at enormous personal risk. May’s colleagues, two doctors and two nurses, all died from meningitis. After the epidemics, May chose to work in the famous gold mining town of Walhalla where she married Robert Rumpff, an engine driver, in 1923. Her duties included preparing the dead for burial, delivering babies and attending treated
accident victims. Mining was a hazardous affair and loss of limbs was common. “One man had his foot blown off, another had his arm blown off and another his backside.â€? To staunch the ow of blood, she sat him in a tub of hot water and kept adding handfuls of cold water. May also ran the Walhalla guest house until 1946, when she retired to Moe. She attributed her longevity to eating well and never smoking or drinking. Her quick wit is well known and she is the doyenne of the nursing staff. Asked if she would see any of her old friends when she visited Walhalla in the 1990s, she retorted waspily: “The only friends I’ll see will be in the cemetery.â€? “I’ve got a keen sense of humour. I can see humour in anything really.â€? She recounts how recently a senile inmate had taken her pair of dentures from her bedside and replaced them with a man’s pair. The swap wasn’t discovered until she put them in her mouth. “They didn’t ďŹ t me at all,â€? she laughed. When May turned 104, more than hundred people came to celebrate with Gippsland’s oldest resident. The guest house she ran in the once famous gold town of Walhalla is now a museum. Like May, it is a link with the distant past. FROM THE BOOK “PORTRAITSâ€? By Timothy Lee and Barry Turpin. Horsham R.S.L. Military History and Heritage.

NORTHERN GRAMPIANS BUDGET ADOPTED By JessieAnne Gartlan
THE Northern Grampians Shire Council has passed its 2020/21 budget without any changes to its draft. The council received 16 submissions and the majority of them expressed concerns about the increase in the farming rates of 11.6 percent, particularly amid the coronavirus pandemic. Farm valuations increased in the past year, resulting in an increase in farm rates. The value of farming properties increased by 22.3 percent, compared to residential valuations, which only rose 7.8 percent. Farming properties receive a 53 percent discount on the general rate. Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochincke made a submission calling for a dynamic rates strategy that would see council reduce the rate in the dollar as the value of
farmland increases in order to create stability. Mr Jochincke wrote that the current strategy places undue financial stress on farmers, who may have to pay rates across multiple properties. “The VFF estimates this will result in a $1500 increase to the average farm business rate bill across the shire. This increase comes in spite of a proposed 2.3 percent decrease to residential rates and a proposed 7.5 percent decrease in commercial rates. “The average farm business in Northern Grampians will therefore pay approximately $14,800 in general rates this year.” Under the changes eight percent of farm properties will see an increase of over $1001, while 22.62 percent will see an increase between $201 and $1000. A total of 36.14 percent will see an increase of up to $200 while 33.23 percent will see no change or a reduction
in rates. Council has decided to reduce the discount provided to farms next year from 53 percent to 50 percent. General rates will increase by two percent, inline with the government’s two percent rates cap. The capital improved value for properties that fall under general rates is 0.6129. The total revenue increase for general rates will be $278,000. The budget will leave the council at a deficit of $6.19M for the financial year, compared to a surplus of $3.9 the previous year. This deficit is largely due to a significant change in the timing of federal funding allocations. Capital works expenditure will be reduced from $16M to $13.4M. The council received a grant worth $300,000 for the Stawell Regional Airport upgrade. Under the capital works program, the Lord
Nelson Sporting Facility redevelopment will receive $1.6M, roads will receive $4.6M, and bridges will receive $1.1M. The North Park precinct will receive $2.6M. The council received $700,000 from the state government, $500,000 from the federal government, $150,000 from the Swifts, with the remaining balance coming from council. The Stawell Housing Development will receive $600,000. $500,000 of that will come from the state government and another $500,000 will come from the council. The budget shows this year $600,000 has been allocated to the project and another $400,000 will go toward it in future years. The council has also waived some health and food fee registrations, rates interest and property lease payments. These concessions are capped at a total expenditure of $250,000. Meanwhile, staffing costs have increased by $2.6M due to 10 additional full-time staff and 13 temporary full-time equivalent staff being rostered on.

Wattle Day
September the first was designated as Wattle Day many years ago but no species ever waits for the official start time to get flowering and it is rare to find any community celebration. There are more than 700 types of wattle/ acacias across most of Australia. Some are widely scattered but others have a smaller area suited to soil type and rainfall. They range from a small shrub to a towering tree many metres high and all in between. These acacias have always acted as first responders because if there is a fire the plants will quickly germinate and cover the bare ground. The seeds can lay dormant for many years and respond as one of the first plants to show its beakthrough juvenile leaves which goes to explain why wattles sprout in such profusion after a fire. The eucalypts are slower to germinate and reach a reasonable size and they can shade the acacias. There is a wide selection of wattles across western Victoria and although the bush might look scrappy and boring for much of the year they explode with gold, yellow and lemon flowers at flowering time. Having some vivid golden splash of color in deep winter can be a lift to the spirits. Wattles can be grown in a garden, a plantation, or roadside reserve or as a windbreak. In the past acacias have been used for food and tannin bark and as reinforcement in the early settlers wattle and daub buildings and there are still some used to this day. The dramatic flowering provides for a lot of shelter and food source for birds and ants. It is common to find a wide range of birds nesting in the dense cover. Some of these acacias do not live long lives and it is good to plant some every year to achieve a constant growth pattern for your trees.

Horsham business ambassador to lead the way By JessieAnne Gartlan
BUSINESS Horsham has welcomed a new ambassador in Stacey Taig, who returns to the organisation after being involved over a decade ago. Ms Taig’s role will involve liaising with businesses and support organisations such as the Wimmera Development Association and Federation University, as well as providing guidance and advocacy for businesses. Ms Taig was a co-owner of clothing boutique Ellery and Black, now Exquisit Horsham.
Ms Taig had a crucial role in establishing Horsham Business in 2006 when she was a manager at the Wimmera Business Centre, working with the Horsham Rural City Council. “It’s a project the council started and at the time there were two business groups in Horsham,” she said. “The business community was quite divided, so one of the main goals of the council was to bring the business community together and amalgamate those two groups. “Part of my role was developing a business committee that would take the reins and move it forward.
“The project was sitting down with both groups and talking through everything, and seeing how we could bring them together. They did come together and they worked very hard to make it all work.” Although Ms Taig stepped back once the groups were amalgamated and running, she stayed on for a number of years in a voluntary capacity. She then redirected her focus to raising two boys with her partner, aged six and four. Now she says she has returned to Business Horsham and found it to be as strong and effective as ever.
“They’ve done amazing things and the very fact that they’ve survived for so long is a testament to them,” Ms Taig said. “They tend to attract really passionate, vibrant go-getters and I think that is part of their success. They are not there for themselves, they are there for the benefit of Horsham and other businesses.” Ms Taig said although it was a difficult time for small business owners, she encouraged anyone considering becoming a small business owner to give it a go. She said success in small business was always underpinned by planning

and having access to guidance. “Sit down, look for a business that’s similar but not in your area, and have a chat to someone that’s already done it that’s a great way of starting,” she said. “(The founder of) Beaurepaires picked up the phone as a young guy and called the head of Walmart in America and actually got through. That man became his mentor and that’s the kind of thing you need in the beginning - to have a chat with someone who’s been there and done that. “They will point you in the right direction and say ‘these are the difficulties we encountered and how we got around it’.” The rest was about identifying a gap in the market, Ms Taig said. “It might be something you’re really passionate about but you also have to step back and take the emotion out of it, and ask if there is a market for it,” she said. “Most of your big business success stories have had a mentor in the beginning and asked for help. Any entrepreneur will have five businesses on the go and 10 failed ones in their back pocket. “It’s a learning curve and it’s about having anyone around that can help, and that’s what Business Horsham is.” Ms Taig encouraged anyone who wanted to contact her could do so via 0423 200 332, or at info@ businesshorsham.com.au.

Horsham local selected for Youth Congress
COMMUNITY “DISAPPOINTED” OVER VANDALS’ TREE DESTRUCTION
By Chris Michaels
HORSHAM local Catherine Dunn is one of just 21 rising stars chosen to represent her generation on a state government panel. The Youth Congress gives young people a platform to work with decision-makers on the issues affecting them during the global coronavirus pandemic. The announcement coincides with International Youth Day 2020, which has the theme of ‘Youth Engagement for Global Action’. Ms Dunn said making a real difference, and seeing the youth congress as a way to achieve that, was important to her. “I applied for the youth congress as I saw it as a place where young people would make change, unlike many tokenistic places where young people are trapped in where they could make change,” Ms Dunn said. Ms Dunn said having young voices heard when they are so often ignored was essential for her. “As I sit at the table of decision making, I hope I can stand up knowing that another young person will take my seat,” she said. “My hope for my contribution to the Victorian Youth Congress isn’t based on my voice alone but ensuring the voice of young people alike are continuing to be heard. In decision making, young people have a right to a seat at the table and not be tabled.” Issues that Ms Dunn said need to be discussed and acted on ranged from the climate to racism. “The priorities of young people are not unheard of, we have spoken of climate action, racism, particularly reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians,

mental health and accessibility,” she said. “The priorities of young people are often perceived as indicators of the future in an entertaining afterthought. Whilst the issues of today impact everyone, young people are most uniquely invested in the issues of today as we have to not only live through it but deal with the everlasting impacts of today in our futures.” Youth Minister Ros Spence said, “Young people are among the most affected by the coronavirus pandemic - so it is crucial they have a seat at the table on issues that are impacting their lives and futures. “This group of inspiring young people represent the diversity of Victoria and we can’t wait to hear their ideas and work with them to make sure their voices are heard across government.”

numbers low in the region. The site was opened on July 25 and immediately experienced high attendance rates. “We had an initial rush the second time around with cases in Horsham,” Mr Miller said. “There was a panic, and a lot of asymptotic people needed to be tested. “And we needed a better system than what we had originally, with only 60 or so a day being able to be tested in the walk-in way.” Mr Miller said being able to test more people more quickly helped enormously. “It’s made the testing process a lot simpler, with the longest wait time for the drive through clinic maybe half an hour,” he said.
“We’ve tested about 2000 people which is about 10 percent of the shire. “More recently the testing we’ve been doing in the drive through clinic is down to about 30 people a day, and half of that on weekends. We’ve got a team of Australian Defence Force personnel helping and they could be more useful helping elsewhere.” Mr Miller said testing would return to a walk-in method, with no appointments necessary. “We start the walk in system today, with two sets of times available each day,” he said. “The testing clinic is just a little further along Read Street. People need to continue their social distancing, and adhering to the restrictions and protocols.”
500 Abattoir staff tested for COVID-19 FIVE hundred staff at the Frew Group in Stawell have been tested for COVID-19 in a bid to catch asymptomatic cases. The “proactive” and cautionary testing blitz is an initiative of the Department of Health and Human Services, which is actively monitoring the meat and poultry industry for potential coronavirus clusters. The tests were conducted by staff from Stawell Regional Health with nursing staff from Grampians Community Health and assistance from the Northern Grampians Shire Council, which facilitated the process. “Our Municipal Emergency Resource Officer, Sarah Peachey, worked with Stawell Regional Health to initially set up the testing schedule and council staff were then on site at Frew Group to assist with the paperwork and administration,” council chief executive Liana Thompson said. They were processed in Horsham and many employees had their negative result back within 24 hours. “More than 300 staff were tested on the first day of the blitz and it is pleasing to hear that some of the employees at Frew Group received their results on Monday night,” Ms Thompson said. Staff at Frew Group pulled together to assist with the process, Ms Thompson said. “The senior leadership team at Frew Group were extraordinary in their effort to ensure that every staff member was tested across all departments throughout the abattoir while still being able to maintain
production levels in accordance with Department of Health and Human Services Stage Three regulations to meet their supply quotas. “Frew Group employees with a migrant background were able to assist with communications with their fellow workers if required and this was very much appreciated. “It was a really magnificent effort from all the agencies involved to pull this off without a hitch.” Separately, the council has been promoting its ‘In It Together’ campaign to assist the region through challenges and successes of living during COVID-19. “The ‘In It Together’ campaign has been established not just as an information network but also to raise awareness and celebrate moments where we as a community can chip in and assist each other with local support and information,” Ms Thompson said. “This testing exercise at Frew Group is an excellent example of the kind of stakeholder collaboration that we need to keep our community safe and healthy during the coronavirus pandemic. “We would like to acknowledge the hard work put in by all of the stakeholders and staff from Stawell Regional Health, Grampians Community Health and our own council team and the compliance of Frew Group’s employees. It has been a successful exercise.”

DONATED CHAIR FOR HEALTH WORKERS AGED care workers from Wimmera Nursing Home will be among those taking advantage of new seating outside the main entrance. Coles supermarket has donated the bench seat manufactured with 98 percent of recycled plastic to Wimmera Health Care Group to provide outdoor seating for team members and community members. Coles Horsham store manager Matthew Kulhan said the seat was made available through the REDcycle program. “Anyone can donate their plastic bags to our store and we send them to REDcycle and this is the end result,” Mr Kulhan said. Horsham’s Brian Wilde, who organised the donation, said he approached Coles because he felt there needed to be good seating in Robinson Street where team members could enjoy their lunch. “I knew Coles had the recycling program going so I approached
the regional manager when I saw her in the store one day,” he said. WHCG Director residential services Sarah Kleinitz said the donation arrived at a good time. “It hasn’t been easy for our team members lately because aged care has had a bad run in the media,” Ms Kleinitz said. “Our workers have also found it emotionally draining having to enforce visiting restrictions on people who just want to check on a loved one or close friend. “It’s been hard having to restrict so many people and COVID-19 has added to everyone’s workload so a donation like this will certainly add some comfort. “I want to thank Coles for their generosity and Brian for organising the whole thing.” • Brian Wilde and Coles store manager Matthew Kulhan watch WHCG chief executive Catherine Morley try out the bench seat for the first time.

Rainbow’s trees brightened WIMMERA LEGACY BADGE WEEK TO HEAD ONLINE
By Elissa Keller
RAINBOW artist Belinda Eckermann has been at it again, decorating two trees in Rainbow with drawings of a bat and a koala, before adding more animals around the town. Belinda has begun to do eight species of self isolating animals which the World Wide Fund for Nature have announced. With each drawing completed, there will be a QR Code for people to read about each of the animals. The information was composed by the WWF. So when people go on a walk, they should remember to take their smartphones along to read more about these animals. But first, don’t forget to download a QR code scanner. On Monday Belinda had completed the snow leopard, the marine turtle and the orangutan. How many of the animals can you find? “Humans are social beings, we rarely go a day without some form of interaction, either in the workplace, at the shops or at home,” the WWF said. “The coronavirus crisis is forcing people around the world to spend more time than ever alone, prompting many to rely on digital communication to connect to loved ones. “For many species in the animal kingdom, however, self-isolation is not a new concept. It’s in their instinct. From land mammals to ocean species, many choose to live in solitude outside of essential activity: to eat and to breed.” The drawings completed by Belinda are extremely detailed and realistic and suit the locations they are in. These new additions join the moths that feature on trees in King Street that were drawn in April which are still visible months later. All of the drawings are well worth viewing as

WIMMERA Legacy is asking the community to again support its vital service to war widows despite corona-imposed fundraising restrictions. This year’s Badge Week will continue, in a revamped format, from Sunday August 30 to Saturday September 5 with the theme: Little Badge, Big Impact. Badge Week is the major fundraiser for the non-profit organization, which does not attract government assistance. Wimmera Legacy supports more than 150 widows across the Wimmera-Southern Mallee. Last year’s Wimmera Legacy Badge Week appeal raised $25,000. President Legatee Barbara Wellington said because Legatees and volunteers were unable to canvas for donations in the streets, or visit premises in Horsham and surrounding towns, people could support the appeal in any of three ways: Online donations through the Wimmera Legacy website home page by clicking on the ‘Donate to Legacy ’ icon and following the directions. All donations from people with Wimmera/Southern Mallee postcodes will be forwarded to Wimmera Legacy.
Direct payment to Wimmera Legacy bank account BSB 633000, account number 141837351 with payments marked Badge Week. Merchandise usually offered during Badge Week can be ordered by emailing: admin@ wimmeralegacy.com.au. Items for sale include badges from $2 to $50, $20 bears, keyrings, wristbands and pens. The national organization, formed almost a century ago promising support to the wives of deceased veterans during hardship and grief, continues to rely on the generosity of the community for continued support. Dr Wellington said that the work of the organization, run by volunteers, was as vital as when it formed after the First World War. “We know this is a difficult time for many people,” Dr Wellington said. “But care for our widows continues and Badge Week sales and donations help cover costs.” Legacy cares for 52,000 families nationally through 44 clubs. This includes older widows, younger widows with children and veterans’ dependents who have a disability. For further information contact secretary Legatee Neville Smith, 0427 821 510.

SPRING
This is particularly concerning as forecasts predict a wet spring. The gross value of wheat in the north west region is $561 million, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) this year. He said, “there will definitely be an economic impact if we get hurt by what’s shaping up to be a forecast of a wet spring. “If that scenario occurs, there’s definitely a chance of economic loss there, for crops especially, let alone hay season.” He said it wasn’t only grain farmers that would struggle under the shortage, with shearers from New Zealand unable to cross into Australia for seasonal work. In the north west region, sheep and lamb farming has a gross value of $533 million, according to ABS data. Mr Bartlett said “there’s going to be a shortage of staff” across all areas of production with silos relying on seasonal labourers as well. “It’s just hard to get Australian skilled agricultural labour,” he said. Australia’s reliance on overseas seasonal workers is not a new issue according to the National Farmers’ Federation. They stated that, “Even in a typical year, the farm sector’s workforce is inadequate. “With international and state travel restrictions, this year, farmers spanning fruit and vegetable production, wool and grain growing are anxious about how they will find the people power they need to get the job done.” Reliance on seasonal workers has increased over the last decade as the number of owner–managers and contributing family workers on family farms has declined and farm sizes have increased. Mr Jochinke said “I don’t think crystal-balling this scenario would have actually solved the problem that we see. “The real fact is that we need a seasonal workforce to come and help us.” Overseas workers are required to fill the gaps as Australian’s are often not inclined to visit an area for a few months to work and then seek out other casual employment elsewhere. Mr Jochinke suggests easing border restrictions for farm workers while maintaining strict safety procedures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 may ease the burden of the seasonal worker shortage. He said we must make “our borders work properly which means reciprocal rights between states. “If they (farm workers) quarantine themselves on the farm, agree to use the app at all times and adhere to the COVID work plan wherever they’re going,” farmers can access the labour they need, while
preventing the spread of the virus, he said. With 4,293 farms in the north west region (ABS, 2017-18), and little data available on how many seasonal workers are employed in the area annually, it is difficult to predict the impact of the shortage.

AG Scene PULPY KIDNEY
– A severe disease affecting Sheep Signs of Pulpy Kidney:
By Rural Vision
With recent rain following a great start to the growing season the health of the animal needs to be taken into consideration when grazing pastures, we often think that grazing green lush growing pasture is the best thing for our lambs but if not managed correctly it can be detrimental. We have seen an increase of a condition called Pulpy Kidney (enterotoxaemia). What is Pulpy Kidney disease? Pulpy Kidney (enterotoxaemia) is a disease that can cause sudden death in sheep and goats. It often affects animals in good body condition and can be difficult to diagnose. Pulpy Kidney disease generally presents as sudden death. Occasionally excitement, in-coordination and convulsions may be observed prior to death. Multiple animals may be affected, often the heaviest animals in a mob. What causes the disease? The disease is caused by the bacteria Clostridium perfringens Type D and the toxin it produces. The bacteria and toxin can exist in small amounts in the gut of healthy animals. Normal movement of material through the intestine keeps the levels of bacteria and toxin very low so that no disease occurs. Factors that alter the environment in the gut may allow these bacteria to multiply rapidly and produce high levels of toxin, resulting in disease and death. What are the risk factors? Sudden changes in the amount or quality of feed, such as introduction to lush pasture or grain-based diets, can alter the gut environment and allow the bacteria and toxin to proliferate. Pulpy Kidney is therefore most likely to occur during periods of rapid pasture growth and high feed availability.
Lambs

Adult sheep
• good condition
maximum risk, for example transfer to lush pasture or grain feeding. Keeping ewes well vaccinated is the best way to protect newborn lambs against the disease, as the antibodies to the bacterial toxins are transferred to the newborns in the colostrum. The lambs from unvaccinated,
poor ewes or lambs which are born in sub optimal conditions, orphaned or large litters are at risk of not receiving adequate immunity through colostrum. It is also advisable to provide roughages such as hay or straw, as this will limit the potential for overeating on high-risk feeds.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION UPDATE
Two Doses of Vaccine Plus Boosters are Essential
• often found dead • may stagger • may scour
Managing the risk There is no treatment for Pulpy Kidney disease, so prevention is critical. The first defence against Pulpy Kidney is to avoid those situations that can contribute to bacterial growth and toxin production within the animal, such as a sudden change in diet. In practice these situations may be difficult to avoid during normal farm management practices. Thus, vaccination against Pulpy Kidney is an important, and practical, tool in the management of this disease. Rural Vision offers a range of Zoetis vaccines for the prevention of Pulpy Kidney disease in sheep and goats. • Glanvac 6 • Glanvac 3 • Ultravac 5in1 (not registered for use in goats) In previously unvaccinated animals, a primary course of two vaccinations, four to six weeks apart, is required, followed by annual boosters. In areas where the risk of this disease is known to be high, annual booster vaccinations are required to maintain protection. Where possible, these booster doses should be given approximately 14 days prior to the time of

1. Material antibodies are the proteins present in the colostrum or ‘first milk’ that provide immediate but temporary protection for the newborn from infection. The amount of maternal antibodies an animal receives is influenced by the vaccination status of the dam. 2. The first dose of vaccine primes the immune system, but only provides a small amount of short-term protection. In some animals, there may be no protection at all from this dose. 3. It’s not until the animal is given the second dose of vaccine that the immune system is capable of providing protection against the disease. In most cases, this protection lasts 12 months. 4. An annual booster dose is required to ensure the immune system of the animal continues to remain high for another 12 months. Without booster doses the animal is at risk of disease. 5. This is the level of immunity required by the animal to provide protection against infection or disease. * The first dose of vaccine may not confer protective immunity. This is a schematic representation to demonstrate the principles of vaccination. Actual levels of antibody following vaccination will vary from vaccine to vaccine and animal to animal.

Business Trades Directory Dimboola resident to represent southern grain growers By Caitlyn Quinn
DIMBOOLA resident Pru Cook has been selected to represent grain growers’ interests as part of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Southern Regional Panel. Ms Cook is one of four new members to be selected for the panel that represents grain growing interests in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. As an agricultural extension specialist, Ms Cook hopes to bring her knowledge and insights to the role. “I had a strong interest in grains extension and was hoping that my expertise in that area would be something that would be able to support, I suppose, the researcher, advisor and grower expertise that exists on the panel elsewhere,” she said. She applied for the role back in April and found out she would be part of the panel a couple of weeks ago. GRDC Chair John Woods, said, “The selection process was exhaustive, and the board took care to ensure the incoming panel comprises a balanced mix of expertise, knowledge and experience.” Ms Cook is particularly interested in exploring new ways to connect and engage
with grain growers, as part of her new role. “In the industry we have a reliance on events for providing information to grain growers,” she said. “Farmers are getting busier and busier and it’s harder to get along to events, especially given covid at the moment.” She also intends to bring a focus on young grain growers. “I have a strong interest in young farmers; the next generation of farmers,” she said. “I’m really interested in how they seek information and how they make decisions and looking at ways that we can get them understanding research and understanding early on in their career to give them the best possible start in their career.” It is an interest that comes from her own personal experience. “My brother, he’s a principal farmer, took on the farm by himself at the age of 24 when our dad passed away unexpectedly and so I’m very very interested in making sure that farmers like my brother are well supported through the work GRDC does,” she said. Ms Cook and her siblings grew up as the fourth generation on their family farm between Nhill and Kaniva in Daipur. She has worked in grain extension for
SPOTLIGHT ON FARMER ANXIETY By Chris Michaels ANXIETY and mental health in the farming community will be the focus of discussion in the next Rural Aid webinar. ‘On The Couch with Rural Aid Counsellors’ is a webinar series tackling key topics and themes related to farmer welfare and life on the land. Hunter Valley based counsellor Gary Bentley will host a session at 6pm on Wednesday August 19 on anxiety. The theme of the session is ‘The agony of anxiety; how to cope with the heebie jeebies’. Mr Bentley will discuss the meaning of anxiety, the causes, signs, and symptoms before relaying information on management, treatment, acceptance and survival. The session is open to all primary
producers, farming families and rural counsellors. Rural Aid chief executive John Warlters said, “With the sheer volume of factors influencing a farmer day in day out, anxiety is not uncommon in agricultural industries and rural communities, yet little is understood about it by those populations. “Gary’s session will be a two-way conversation, where attendees can privately direct questions to our highly skilled and qualified rural counsellors.” There will be two more webinars run by Rural Aid in September and October, dealing with personal boundaries and conflict and stress in relationships. People interested in the webinars are encouraged to register for the 60 minute live sessions at https://www.ruralaid.org.au/counselling/.
Rural exports up despite covid-19 By Chris Michaels
REGIONAL exports continue to rise despite floods, bush fires and COVID-19 all within the last 12 months. Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show a 3.6 percent increase over the month of June an increase from when an increase of $125m. The strong performance of the agricultural sector in June was underpinned by sharp recoveries in exports of cereal and cereal preparations, up 32.8 percent to $546 million and wool and sheepskins, up 24.3 percent to $189 million. Minister Assisting the Minister for Trade and Investment, Andrew Gee, said the results demonstrated the incredible determination of our Aussie farmers and regional businesses through such challenging times. “It is very encouraging to see that exporters across regional Australia continue to post strong results, despite the extensive impacts the COVID-19 pandemic on economies and supply chains around the world,” Mr Gee said. “Farmers and businesses right across
country Australia have been hard hit by the impacts of COVID-19, which comes on the back of the devastating bushfires last summer and years of drought. “The positive results outlined in the trade data clearly demonstrate that our country businesses and farmers are willing to tackle these challenges head on, through their hard work and resolve. Their contribution to our nation’s economic recovery is vital. “Our regional exporters produce some of the highest-quality and most sought after products in the world, a testament to their hard-work and willingness to adapt. “The government recognises that providing export opportunities and maintaining open supply chains are critical to the economic prosperity of communities right across regional Australia. “That is why we have implemented measures to support our regional exporters and mitigate the disruptions caused by COVID-19, such as the $350 million International Freight Assistance Mechanism – which has enabled over $1 billion worth of agricultural and fisheries exports to reach international markets.”
her whole career and has already been involved in GRDC projects and even worked in their Canberra office for a few years. It was work that saw her travel to Western Australia and the northern region and gave her a real insight into how GRDC panels work. “I got to see how the panel process worked and how there’s such a diverse range of experiences brought together to inform really good investments in research and development that helped improve the grains industry and create enduring profitability for growers,” she said. “I was really keen to throw my hat in the ring myself I suppose.” She describes the GRDC as being about research, development and extension. “It’s about investing in ways that can improve crop yields, improve the price that growers get for their produce and also about managing the risks that growers take to help them make better decisions so that ultimately the grains industry can be a more profitable industry into the future.” Mr Woods said GRDC panels collect vital information from farmers that directs investment. “The three panels play an important role in sourcing feedback from growers and industry about regional production constraints, as well as • Pru Cook has been selected for the Grains opportunities, and bringing that information back to the GRDC to help guide investment direction,” Research and Development Corporation Southern Regional Panel. he said.
What is the temperature of your hay? Making hay temperature management easy Hay shed fires are a fodder producers’ worst nightmare. To start with, it is difficult to monitor continuously and accurately the temperate of a stack. The uncertainty can be stressful and ongoing vigilance time consuming. That’s before there’s even a fire to contend with and all the associated costs with the loss and damage of hay and replacing the shed. It was dealing with the constant stress of managing haystack fires on her family farm that prompted one French electronic engineer to develop a device to put her mind at ease. Now this device is available in Australia, with interest from fodder growers and contractors wanting to safeguard their valuable bales. Brad Petschel’s Auto Elec at Hopetoun in Victoria has recently started selling the HAYTECH wireless hay monitoring system. “There’s a need for this technology in our local area,” Brad said. “There’s quite a few people growing hay and quite a few haystacks and sheds. There’s also the cost of insurance element of it, with people looking to safeguard their stacks by being more on-the-ball with its temperature and recording changes.”
HAYTECH uses probes connected to the internet to monitor the real-time temperature of hay. A starter system includes 10 probes, with spikes of up to 40cm, which are inserted into square or round bales. The temperature of these bales are monitored through a free online service called Quanturi which sends messages to a phone if the temperatures reaches unsafe levels. The HAYTECH probes communicate with a base station and a repeater. The repeater works as “an extra security device” to guarantee a good signal transmission from the probes to the base station. Brad said the system allows for the temperature of the hay to be plotted on a graph to demonstrate the changes. He hopes this new technology would provide insurers with more piece of mind when it comes to covering hay sheds and stacks. HAYTECH requires a 240v power outlet and good internet connection. If this isn’t available there’s a 3G/4G modem and solar panel system which can be purchased. Western Australian farm technology business Farmscan has recently partnered with Quanturi to bring the
AUTO ELEC MOBILE 0407 838 235
HAYTECH system to Australia. “Rising temperatures can have catastrophic effects to hay quality, but with HAYTECH you can always be sure you are selling top quality hay and reduce the likelihood of product damage,” Farmscan marketing manager Jason Allan said. Quanturi is a Finnish company founded by Nadine Pesonen, who developed the HAYTECH monitoring system on her family farm in France, and with her Finnish business partner they started selling the HAYTECH system more than five years ago. The HAYTECH system has been sold in Europe since 2016 and has prevented more than 200 haystack fires with more than 25,000 probes in operation in many countries.

This Week’s Markets
BENDIGO SHEEP & LAMB
YARDING: 20000 LAMB: 15500 SHEEP: 4500 Another increase in supply as new season lambs start be sold in greater numbers. The yarding comprised 8,250 young lambs, 4,250 old season lambs and 3,000 Merinos, with some very good quality available in all categories. Demand was flat, with a couple of exporters missing and others quiet while domestic buyers were also subdued. The market continued to ease, most sales another $5 to $18/head below the levels of a week ago. In contrast the sheep sale was firm to dearer in places, and agents did note that any well presented trade and heavy Merino ewes and wethers were making as much in carcase price terms as old slaughter lambs. The bulk of the young lambs presented between 22 and 28kg cwt as the good season shows up in weight and condition. One extra heavy pen estimated around 30kg cwt topped at $180 with the next best price $165/head. However a blanket price range from, $140 to $160/head, covered most young lambs regardless of weight. It meant there was little price difference between the 22 to 24kg lambs at $150 to the heavier from 24 to 26kg cwt run at $151/

A number of export processors were missing from the usual buying group, however prices remained very firm across the cow market with yearlings to the trade firm to a few cents easier due to the lack of quality. Only a few pens of vealer calves were offered, with the pick selling from, 420c to 440c/kg, following last week’s trend.

Homecare service opens its doors in Horsham A NEW homecare service has opened its doors in Horsham. Home Instead Senior Care is a national provider of in-home care for older Australians and was opened by Kerrie Ward, of Horsham. The provider also provides services overseas and was founded in 1994 in the United States. Home Instead Senior Care Australia was founded in 2005. Ms Ward has worked within Horsham’s local health care service for over 30 years, starting as a nurse and more recently as a care coordinator supporting older community members. Ms Ward opened the Horsham office on Roberts Avenue at the beginning of the pandemic in March this year. “I’m thrilled to be able to offer our local Horsham seniors quality
care so they have the opportunity to live independently in their own homes for longer,” she said. “This is especially important now more than ever during the COVID-19 crisis. “I feel strongly that regional areas deserve the same quality services as the city counterparts.” “My parents, Ron and Joyce Eastwell are also one of the main reasons behind starting the business, as I wanted to provide quality care to people just like them. If I wouldn’t put somebody into my parents’ home to care for them, I wouldn’t put them into anybody else’s. “Through Home Instead, I am now able to offer the whole package of care services with professionally trained CAREGivers. I am supported by a wonderfully dedicated, experienced and trusted team

MEET FIRST CONSTABLE GEORGIE SCHIRMER By Caitlyn Quinn FIRST Constable Georgie Schirmer is the first female to hold a permanent role at the Dimboola Police Station and hopes that her presence will encourage more women to speak up about family violence. FC Schirmer officially joined the Dimboola team in June after four years in the force. She previously worked at the Horsham Police Station and spent some time working in the Sexual Offence and Child Abuse Investigation Team, before joining the Dimboola Police Station. She is no stranger to Dimboola, having been born and raised here and is grateful for the opportunity to return as an officer. “The big draw card for me is the community,” FC Schirmer said. “I think Dimboola is a really special town. “I’m pretty happy and proud to be
working here after living here for so long.” The First Constable completed both her primary and secondary schooling in Dimboola before moving to Geelong to study science at Deakin. After missing working with people, she decided to join the force to be part of a dynamic work environment and to help people. She hopes to offer a different skill set to the team at the Dimboola Police station as a trained Gay and Lesbian Liaison Officer and with her background in the Sexual Offence Investigation Team. According to FC Schirmer, family violence and sexual offences are being underreported. She said that domestic violence is more of a widespread issue than people may realise and by having a female officer at Dimboola Station more survivors of domestic abuse may come forward.
“We know it’s common for females not to come forward and report things unless there is a female officer to talk to,” she said. She wants people who might be hesitant to come forward “to know that we are highly trained in taking these reports and knowing what to do with them”. “The reports will be followed through properly, supports will be given and their safety is always our number one priority,” she said. She encourages anyone in the community to come forward if they notice criminal activity of any kind and would like to assure people that any information received will be followed through. In a small town, it can be easy for rumour and gossip to float around, but in order for the police to be able to act and ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone, people need to come forward with their concerns. “I can’t do anything about it

until people come forward with the information,” she said. Anyone with information or feedback can call Dimboola Police Station on 5389 1470. FC Schirmer is also happy to chat
to anyone if they see her around town. Although the pandemic is making it difficult to build engagement in the town, she is looking forward to fully immersing herself in the community when it is possible.
Liquor sales increase during lockdown FEWER PEOPLE GETTING TESTED FOR CANCER
By Caitlyn Quinn
ONE in five Australians are drinking more during the pandemic, an Australian National University report has found, and the owner of Dimboola Plus Liquor has noticed the trend. “Liquor sales have picked up quite significantly,” Tim Crowhurst said. “I’m guessing that will probably be because people now can’t go to the local watering hole and sit there and have a couple of beers, so they’re just buying a box of stubbies to take home.” He initially noticed an increase in the sale of alcohol during the first round of stage three lockdowns and has seen a spike again when stage three restrictions were reintroduced. The study found that the national spike in liquor sales during the first lockdown has been attributed to people stocking up on beverages rather than an increase in consumption. The increase in demand has been across the board on Dimboola IGA liquor products, with no stand outs

in what Dimboola residents are drinking during lockdown. In an ANU study released in June this year, the main reason people gave for their increase in
alcohol consumption was spending more time at home. For women, the second biggest driver was stress, while for men it was boredom.
NATIONALLY, there has been a decline in the number of reporting of cancers during lockdown and doctors from Wimmera Health Care Group have noticed a drop in the number of cancer patients they are treating. “The doctors are all saying that they haven’t been seeing as many patients with cancer,” said Peter Miller, communications manager for WHCG. According to Mr Miller, there has been a reduction in people getting tested for cancer as well as a drop in patients attending their cancer treatment services. “We just want to make people realise just because there’s COVID around, they still need to attend their normal appointments,” he said. He believes the decline is due to people being hesitant about attending healthcare providers during the pandemic. “They’re concerned about COVID and I guess they’re probably thinking they’re doing the right thing by leaving us alone and easing our burden, when in fact we want to see these people
and make sure that they are okay and we still want to see people who aren’t well.” Another cause could be that people are not going to see their GP as regularly during lockdown. Mr Miller said, “They’re not seeing their GP as much to find out if they’ve got anything wrong with them.” Early detection of cancer can increase the chance of successful treatment and survival, according to the Cancer Council. Wimmera Healthcare Group would like to assure the community that every safety measure is being taken to protect patients and staff. “All the right precautions are in place,” said Mr Miller. Grant McArthur from the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre said there has been approximately 30 percent decrease in reporting of cancers since the beginning of lockdown. While there are no exact numbers on how big the reduction is in the Wimmera, Mr Miller said, “Even if one person has dropped off, it’s not a good thing.”

BORDER CLOSURE THREATENS INDUSTRY By James Thomas SOUTH Australian border resident Jason Law says long term damage could be done to business and agriculture if a better system is not put in place for essential workers and services along the border. “People have been coming out in the past couple days because I think they understand that this is about to get very real,” he said. Mr Laws has a property on the South Australian side of the border in Hynam. He runs a veterinary business and acts as both the chief pilot and operations manager for Southern Air Agriculture. But both businesses operate on both sides of the border and Mr Law said the new cross border system which comes into place from August 21 has long ranging implications. After working through the previous permit system, Mr Law said that it had been very workable in monitoring cross border travel whilst still allowing businesses to operate. “I think it evolved into a really good system. That is what has caught most people. It was a really solid workable system that I believe was proving to be more successful than expectations,” he said. “As far as the success of that system, I think it was fantastic. There were thousands of tests being conducted weekly up and down the border for all cross-border community people and it returned nothing but negatives.” But now with the tightening of agricultural and cross-border community exemptions, Mr Law has found it impossible to get a permit from SA Health. After submitting several COVID Management Plans to the state’s health department, Mr Law said that multiple permit requests had been denied, potentially leaving western Victorian districts unserviceable. “In the interests of the greater goal of minimising people crossing the border,
the plan that we put forward was that we will not send anyone from our clinic bar one person in the interests of the greater good to minimise the exposure,” he said. “We seeked a permit for my wife to travel on her own, using her own gear, not stopping in any built up towns, purely for essential work. But when we applied for a cross-border community member and agriculture worker permit to stay within 40km and got instantly declined. We then reapplied as an essential service in the agricultural sector with the (COVID-19) plan attached and got declined again. “Everyone has invested their time in structures around carving out a patch of land that they service and their clientele who rely on them. There aren’t large production animal vets that would be plausible for people to get service. “If a dog takes bait and you live on the Victorian side of the border, the ability for you to travel an hour and a half to a vet, when the animal might have only 20 minutes to live, it’s just not possible.” Mr Laws said he explored other avenues, including cross-border hand overs, but they would be revoked from Friday. One flaw that Mr Law pointed to was the lack of communication between SA Health and residents on the permit requirements. “The other problem with the COVID mitigation plan is that SA Health hasn’t released any templates or any idea of what they actually want,” he said. “There is no format, template or guidelines, rules - nothing.” With spring soon approaching, Mr Law said that the tougher border controls couldn’t have come at a worse time as farmers from western Victoria prepare for time-critical spraying. “We’re not even sure about the legality surrounding whether we’ll be in trouble in Victorian airspace and we’ve had the phones starting to ring about spraying starting next week,” he said.
Lee’s face mask ‘sweatshop’ giving back to the community
• SEW: Lee Carey has been sewing religiously to help the Warracknabeal community keep covered through COVID-19. By James Thomas
ONCE Horsham had recorded seven cases of coronavirus that was enough motivation for Lee Carey to start ordering materials to make $2 face masks for Warracknabeal residents. Purchasing thread, material and elastic the week before masks were made mandatory, Ms Carey started sewing the fabric face masks from Lee’s Convenience Store. “When Horsham had seven cases, that was enough for me because we have a big affiliation with them.
A lot of people either travel to Horsham or come here for work,” she said. The store’s owner/operator, Ms Hurley kept staff working the store so that she could focus on sewing masks for district residents. Playfully nicknamed “Lee’s sweatshop” by one resident, Ms Carey is thankful for the community support - from those who have donated material or tea or a kind word. “It’s my way of giving back to the community because I can’t give to the community while I’m working
the hours that I am. My giving to the community is my time,” she said. “The community has been absolutely outstanding. “I’m not going to try and make money out of something that was made compulsory through no fault of their own. We’re all in the same boat. A lot of people up here are struggling because of what’s happening in Melbourne.” After going through approximately 40 metres of material, 20 metres of elastic and 60 metres of thread, Ms Carey has sewn over 1000 face masks.
VCAL STUDENTS WORKING ON SENSORY ROOM
KANIVA COVID BREACHES KEEPING POLICE BUSY By Chris Michaels
KANIVA Police have said they will continue to monitor local compliance levels after a spate of recent COVID-19 breaches. Kaniva Police Sergeant Darren Wright said there had been a number of breaches recently involving non-essential travel away from home. On Sunday August 16 a vehicle was intercepted on the Western Highway at Kaniva carrying a 25 year old female from Nhill and a 38 year old male passenger who were both issued infringement notices for not following the chief medical officer’s directions for non-essential travel. In a separate incident on the same day Kaniva Police attended a Nhill residence at 2.30am because of a noise complaint and issued an infringement notice to a male for not staying at home. In each case an on the spot fine of $1652 was issued. Mr Wright said Police will continue to be diligent in making sure residents in the region adhere to stage three restrictions. “Police will continue to conduct routine intercepts, and we will be focusing our thoughts on social gatherings,” Mr Wright said. “I have been happy how the community has embraced the wearing of masks. We’ve actually had no offences around mask wearing at all.” Mr Wright stressed that none of the infringements involved people that had tested positive for COVID-19. He also said that on a more positive note, residents in the town and surroundings have embraced the wearing of masks.
• VCAL students outside the sensory room By Elissa Keller
SINCE the beginning of the school year, fourteen Rainbow P-12 College students have been working on converting a shipping container into a sensory room. Students involved in the project include various year levels including one year nine student, ten year 10s, one year 11
and two year 12s. The group is the school's VCAL class. Their teacher Colleen Petschel said that despite the students missing some school time due to COVID-19 restrictions they still hope to have the room opened by November 20. This date will now be in doubt due to schools going back to remote learning this week.
The students are planning and doing all the construction work, learning new skills in the process. Last week local electricians Heather Davidson and Dion Paech attended the school to supervise the students as they installed the electrical wiring. The sensory room is located at the east side of the assembly hall.

Motoring IGNITE YOUR DAILY DRIVE WITH THIS LITTLE FIRECRACKER OF FUN
• WELCOME: New ‘Kia Sales Consultant’ Heidi Higginson is impressed by the quality, features, warranty and pricing of the new Kia Picanto, where she is pictured in her new role with the Horsham Motor Company this week. By Jessica Taylor
AUSTRALIA’S top-selling micro car is now even better, according to Horsham Motor Co Kia’s new sales consultant, Heidi Higginson. With class leading technology standard across the range, the modern interior of Kia’s new Picanto now includes, as standard features, an eight inch touchscreen audio visual unit, with wireless smartphone connectivity and
bluetooth multi-connection. Specifically referring to the Picanto GT Line model the MY21 ‘Product Enhancement’ offers a sporty stylish design with an emphasis on an aggressive look while the interior has an enhanced comfort and convenience feel. The Picanto, which was Australia’s top-selling micro-car for July 2020, has only risen marginally in price depending on the variant, but has still retained its sub-$15,000
entry point, before on-road costs. Key exterior design updates of the new Picanto are a new radiator grille redesigned with a ‘tiger nose grille’ creating a sharper assertive appearance, while remaining sleek and sporty. Below is the lower air intake, which homes the new sculpted front fog lights, to keep with the sporty sleek yet aggressive look. Aggressive posture Ms Higginson said, “the rear
bumper has also been refreshed with new dual exhaust tips creating a wider more aggressive posture. Rolling along nicely on re-designed 16” sporty multi-spoke alloy wheels, to keep with the dynamic image of the vehicle.” Other standard features across the Kia Picanto range include a rear view camera with dynamic parking guidelines and reverse parking sensors. The updated range will continue to offer forward crash alert and city-speed autonomous emergency braking as standard. Turbo The line-up tops out with the flagship GT Turbo variant. Picanto buyers have the choice of a new-generation, 1.0-litre, threecylinder turbocharged petrol engine in the top-spec GT, which produces 74kW and 172Nm and is paired to a five-speed manual transmission. The rest of the range maintains the same perky 62kW/122Nm 1.25-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired to either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. GT-Line The GT-Line package includes a front and rear bumper revamp with radiator grille re-designed ‘tiger nose grille’ creating a sharper more assertive appearance, 16” redesigned alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, premium seats with red accents, premium steering wheel and shift knob. Over all, the new look gives it a sporty and sleek, yet aggressive and assertive new look. Heidi welcomed to Horsham Kia Horsham Motor Co Kia, dealer principal Adrian Galvin and his team has welcomed a new member
to their sales team. Heidi Higginson joined the team this week, bringing an extensive knowledge of the ‘motor game’. She previously worked with Swan Hill Toyota for the last nine years working in sales support and as a service advisor role, before moving to Horsham recently with her partner Vince Carbone, who has been appointed as general manager of Traction Ag. Ms Higginson originally hails from Portland, but spent a deal of time in Manangatand, and is looking forward to ‘connecting’ with customers, or as the business refers to as guests and meeting their needs with the right vehicle. She will undertake Kia support and training on the range of Kia products in the near future and is looking forward to the opportunity. “I’m really looking forward to my new role with the Horsham Motor Co team. I believe the Kia and Toyota range is world class, and feature packed. My speciality will be Kia, but will assist our team members with both new and used cars as well,” Ms Higginson said. “I believe that with what Kia has to offer with affordability, great quality, it’s standard seven year warranty and every model being so feature packed, we can offer a great product with excellent value and today’s technology at a really affordable price,” Ms Higginson said. Outside work Heidi enjoys motor racing and drags, has played and enjoys netball and particularly enjoys the company of their two dogs, a Jack Russell and a Staffie, not to mention her enjoyment of cooking of all types.
Warning for drivers speeding during COVID-19 VICTORIA Police are urging drivers to exercise caution after a “disappointing and deadly” few weeks on the roads. Despite fewer vehicles on the road thanks to COVID-19 restrictions, 23 lives have been lost since July. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Libby Murphy said there were dangerous trends
emerging. “Since there have been fewer cars on the road, we are seeing people treat the highways like a speedway,” she said. “It is extremely concerning and dangerous not just for the offending driver - they place all road users in harm’s way.” Of the 140 lives lost on Victorian
roads this year, 80 were on rural roads. Victoria Police analysis suggests speed factors are a likely issue in about 40 percent of road collisions. Drugs and alcohol continue to be a prominent factor in serious road collisions. Assistant Commissioner Murphy said other issues included distractions,
particularly people looking at their mobile phones, and fatigue. “We are seeing a trend of singlevehicle crashes where the vehicle comes off the road, especially in regional areas,” she said. “Fatigue is something that everybody needs to be aware of and take the responsibility to manage before they get behind the wheel.”

A 27-year-old Shepparton man was killed in the early hours of 13 August after the car he was driving veered off the road and crashed into a tree. Assistant Commissioner Murphy said all Victorian road users needed to remain conscious of their responsibilities on the road, drive to the conditions and stay safe.

COMMUNITY CENTRE Rupanyup’s new $1.25m netball and tennis facilities LOSES INCOME
• Warracknabeal Community Centre secretary Alan McLean surveys an unattended Anzac Park that will remain unoccupied through the current COVID-19 stage three restrictions. By Caitlyn Quinn
THE Warracknabeal Community Centre has lost its income due to sporting functions and community events not being able to take place under pandemic restrictions. As the centre is not an employer and run by volunteers, it has not been eligible for government support. “Everything is going out, and nothing is coming in,” said Alan McLean, the Community Centre and Anzac Park Trustees Secretary. Income from sporting clubs and the hosting of events, is used to keep the centre running and upkeep of the centre which includes power, water and insurance has had to be maintained despite the loss of income. “We’re going to try to get through it as best we can with the funds that we did have which are dwindling away rapidly,” he said. There are “no meetings or functions due to restriction on numbers, and no sport is being played which also affects social gatherings.” Even when stage three restrictions are eased, the number of people that can attend
gatherings will still be limited. This will impact the centre’s earning capacity as catering and bar takings will be stifled by low numbers of attendees. Mr McLean said, “We’ve tried a few different ways to get some sort of a grant to keep us going but at this stage we haven’t been able to find anything.” State government grants of up to $5,000 are available to businesses in regional Victoria that have faced a loss of income due to the pandemic, but because the centre is not registered for employment, it is not able to access this funding. The Community Centre is an important place for community groups and sporting clubs to gather. A team of about 20 volunteers manage the venue and its functions. Mr McLean said, the “committee runs it for the community”. He assures the community that the centre “would never close” as the committee is hopeful that things will improve soon and bookings and sport will again commence for the benefit of everyone in the community.

IT came as a surprising moment when funding for Rupanyup’s Recreation Reserve $1.25 million sporting precinct was announced last week. Jointly funded between Yarriambiack Shire Council and the Victorian Government, Rupanyup will get a brand new precinct that will hold two tennis and netball courts with new lighting and fencing. The facilities will also have female friendly and accessible change room facilities. Surprised by Thursday evening's announcement, Rupanyup Football and Netball Club secretary and treasurer Calinda Hurley said it would give the club something to look forward to once completed. “It all happened really quickly but to be able to have multipurpose new tennis and netball courts is a great benefit for the community,” she said. “It will boost a bit of positivity around the community and encourage involvement across a lot of sports, netball and tennis in particular. With a lack of lighting and not enough appropriate facilities, Mrs Hurley said that the club worked in partnership with Yarriambiack Shire Council to work on the grant submission
The council will contribute $150,000 to the project, using additional funds from the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program announced in May. Yarriambiack Shire Council Mayor Graeme Massey said, “This represents the single biggest sport and recreation investment in Yarriambiack across three sites and two sports and we are looking forward to the return of sport on these new facilities when we are able.” With the lighting completed at the Panther’s football training oval, Mrs Hurley said that the new developments were a positive development for the club’s future. “It’s a great positive for the club with the completion of the lights on the football oval and certainly with the new developments for the netball and tennis courts, it’s very exciting.” It will join facilities from Brim and Beulah in getting an overhaul under $2.67 million in funding from the Victorian Government’s Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program. While the project was initially expected to be completed by August 2021, the projects are expected to be completed over the next 12 to 18 months.
Stawell Gift secures administrative future By Connor McKenzie
THE long term security of Australia’s oldest footrace the Stawell Gift has taken an important step, with the Victorian Athletic League headlining a new management committee.
Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula welcomed the appointment of the committee of management, which includes three independent members and representatives from the athletic league, the Stawell Athletic Club and the Northern Grampians Shire Council.

“The Stawell Gift is a great Victorian event that can use these new foundations to further build on its commercial, tourism and cultural appeal,” Pakula said. “The appointment of the committee of management is a significant step forward and I congratulate all parties on their commitment and spirit of cooperation.” The new management committee, which will be headed by Victorian Athletic League president Stephanie Spence, will include three independent members, with Channel Seven and Racing.com personality Jason Richardson, marketing and business manager Sally Tucker and media executive Justin Lockett. Richardson was a Stawell Gift champion in 1993, while Lockett was a finalist in the 1997 race. Ms Spence and Tim Mason are drawn from the ranks of the state‘s professional running body and the Stawell Athletic Club is represented by president Neil Blizzard, Robert Irvine and Wendy Hopwood while Northern Grampians mayor Cr Murray Emerson and chief executive Liana Thompson round out the 10-member committee. “The Stawell Gift is an iconic event and being entrusted to be part of the group that will guide its evolution and growth is an honour,” committee chair Ms Spence said. It was an unforeseen year for the Stawell Gift, with the event being cancelled for the first time since World War Two. However the Gift has not been immune to perils in the past few years, with the Gift
trekking through tumultuous times financially. It was only last year the Stawell Athletic Club rejected a Victorian Government bailout of $1.4M, which would have been provided alongside conditional managerial changes. The decision by the SAC last year was met with criticism, however the club did enter a memorandum of understanding with the Victorian government to ensure that funding for the Gift could continue into future years. New committee deputy chair Neil Blizzard said the foundation of this management team was a big step to providing successful events for years to come. “The pandemic meant that we could not hold the Gift this year which was a blow – but this new committee will now throw all of its efforts into making the 2021 Gift a great success,” Blizzard said.
BOY TAKEN TO STAWELL HOSPITAL By Chris Michaels
A TWELVE year old boy was taken to hospital with a wrist injury after a three car pile up in Stawell. The crash occurred on Main Street, approximately 100 metres from the Gift Hotel. A driver from one of the vehicles was issued with an infringement notice for failure to give way, and no other injuries were reported. Police confirmed that there were no ongoing investigations into the cause of the crash.

New facility will be a much needed boost for Beulah
• The Southern Mallee Giants have received a grant for new netball change rooms for Beulah. By Caitlyn Quinn
SOUTHERN Mallee Giants Netballers currently do not have easy access to change rooms for players at their Beulah home ground. Bridget Williams, netball mum and former netball president, has been trying to get the facilities improved at Beulah for the last 11 years. Currently there are no toilets or showers for netball players or spectators at the courts. Open shelters are the only infrastructure available to protect players from the elements. “There’s no area where you can be fully out of the weather,” she said. That is all about to change with the club successfully attaining a Sport and Recreation grant from the Victorian Government. The new Female Friendly and Accessible Modular Change Room
Facility is set to cost $675,632 and will provide much needed amenities to both the netball and tennis club. The structure will be approximately 28 metres long and 10 metres wide. Mrs Williams said the club had applied for grants in the past but they required large investments from the club. “Every grant that we’ve applied for in the past, asked for our donation to be quite considerable; sort of dollar for dollar,” she said. With a donation of $50,000 being provided by the Southern Mallee Giants, the new amenities are finally within reach. “It was certainly the grant that we really needed,” said Mrs Williams. The project is one of 27 across Victoria, being supported by the state government, with Brim and Rupanyup also successfully receiving funding.
The Yarriambiack Shire Council will contribute $150,000 to the three sport and recreation projects. Mayor, Cr Massey said, “This represents the single biggest sport and recreation investment in Yarriambiack across three sites and two sports and we are looking forward to the return of sport on these new facilities when we are able.” The grant is part of the $68 million Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program, from the Victorian Government. When the Southern Mallee Giants FNC applied for the grant back in early June, it was stipulated that works had to be completed within six months. According to the Yarriambiack Shire Council, the announcement from the state government was delayed and the projects are predicted to be completed in 12 to 18 months.
SALARY CAP REDUCTION TO TEST LOCAL CLUBS By Chris Michaels
BOTH the Wimmera Football League and the Horsham District Netball and Football League will be playing with a reduced salary cap in season 2021. The reduction for the 2021 season comes after discussions between clubs and AFL Wimmera Mallee. AFL Wimmera Mallee Area manager Jason Muldoon said the unknown aspect of the 2021 season meant a reduction was the most sensible thing to do. “There is so much uncertainty surrounding next year,” Muldoon said. “Some clubs will be affected differently to others, and clubs with an agricultural source of income may not be as badly affected as others.” Muldoon said regardless of the new 20 percent reduction, some clubs still don’t use all of their salary cap anyway. “A lot of clubs don’t spend it all,” he said. Edenhope Apsley Football and Netball Club president Carolyn Middleton said her club will be disadvantaged by the drop in salary cap. “We knew they had to decrease
the cap and that’s fine, but given our demographic it is very hard to attract players,” Middleton said. “Basically if the AFL wants us to survive they need to offer us some leniency based on our location. It isn’t the drop itself, it’s more just the fairness. “But we’re remaining positive, have appointed our senior coach for 2021 and everyone seems to be onboard.” Horsham Demons chairman Rod Dumesny has welcomed the drop in the salary cap and said a further drop wouldn’t have bothered the club. “We’re not concerned about it whatsoever,” Dumesny said. “Anything to reduce the expense at clubs is a good thing. “It really doesn’t worry us because we never use the whole of the salary cap anyway.” Dumesny said the culture at the club was strong and the standards that have been set are rock solid. “Honestly I love what we do here,” he said. “We have our standards and we stick to those standards. And we are lucky we have the numbers here of players and support to work with. But I understand that every club is in a different situation.”
PIGEON RACING’S CLOSE FINISH FROM DUMOSA By the Horsham Racing Pigeon Club
THE most recent pigeon race in 2020 was from Dumosa, a 125 flight by a pigeon to Horsham. Dumosa is a small rural silo town, north east of Horsham on the way to Swan Hill. Wimmera Aquatrail sponsored this race. The release of 685 racing pigeons on Sunday 16th of August into a fresh south westerly breeze resulted in the leading mob average 52 kilometres an hour. With no wind, they typically average around 70 kilometres an hour. Rob Nelson, club champion of
2019, scored his first win for the year by a two second gap from Leigh Arnott’s leading pigeon. The first nine of 17 members had their leading bird return to their backyard loft within four minutes of the winner. For a race conducted into a head wind, this was an excellent outcome. RESULTS: 1st Rob Nelson, in a flying time of 2 hours 22 minutes and 55 seconds at 879.19 metres a minute M/M. 2 seconds ahead of 2nd, Leigh Arnott at 878.96 M/M and by 29 seconds from 3rd placed John Aisbett at 876.01 M/M. Next weekend’s race will be from Pyramid Hill.

HORSHAM DEMONS FORMALISE COACHING STRUCTURE By Chris Michaels
THE Horsham Demons have welcomed back former player Tyler Blake from Sydney and hopes his experience will rub off in the coaches box. Blake spent time in Sydney playing for a local league and has come back to the Demons in a playing/ assistant coaching role. Jordyn Burke and Rhona Conboy
will be joint senior coaches in season 2021, having planned to do the same this year before the coronavirus struck. “Tyler is an ex-Horsham lad and spent some time in Sydney and he will be our senior assistant coach during the season,” Burke said. Burke said he and Conboy had a good rapport and were looking forward to working together.
“We got started as joint senior coaches this year but then the virus came and put a stop to that,” Burke said. “I’ve known Rhona for ages since our junior footy days. With work commitments I tend to look after pre-season training and he will focus more on game day and training during the season.” Burke said the club was in a good position leading into season
2021 with its strong emphasis on youth, but things were still uncertain while the virus remained. “I’m excited with the juniors coming through,” he said. “But it’s a matter of getting people to fully commit which is the hard part while COVID-19 is still an issue. But having blokes here playing for the right reasons is great.”
Brim receives $775,000 facility upgrade and two sports and we are looking forward to the return of sport on these new facilities when we are able.” It is currently expected that all three projects will be completed in 12 to 18 months.
Mr McPherson said, “We believe this project will start as soon as possible and as you’d imagine it’s a huge job and with current restrictions in place we hope all will go smoothly and play will resume here soon.”
Pruesker’s ‘Rupture’ nominated

By Connor McKenzie • PLANS: Brim Sports Centre president Chris McPherson gives the thumbs up as they received $775,000 from the State Government to help improve the reserve’s facilities. By Caitlyn Quinn future stars of the game to start their and will provide the visiting clubs,
BRIM is set to receive a $775,000 state-of-the-art sporting facilities thanks to a Sport and Recreations grant from the Victorian Government. The project will see the old courts ripped up, replaced and extended 2.5 metres making way for new multiuse courts, including two netball courts and three tennis courts. It will also include new shelters for players and scorers on the court’s west side as well as new lighting and scoreboards. Brim Sports Centre president Chris McPherson said, “With this funding we will be able to provide the current netball and tennis players with a brand new surface and playing courts and encourage and ensure the
sporting careers in the best possible way.” Planning for the reconstruction of the Brim netball and tennis courts began in October 2018 by the Brim Sports Centre and Brim Recreation Reserve committees, with backup support from local sporting clubs. The grant will see those plans become a reality. Mr McPherson noted that a lot of hard work was contributed by the committees to ensure the plans for the project met the needs of the community. He said, “In conjunction with the already well set up Sports Centre Club rooms and Brim Oval, surrounds of the Brim Golf course too, the new and improved courts will be a huge boost for the town
players and spectators a fantastic facility for years to come.” The courts had been in desperate need of replacement, costing thousands each year to regrout cracks in the court’s surface. Rupanyup and Beulah recreation reserves also successfully attained the state government funding to update their facilities. The Victorian Government has provided $2.67 million in funding for the three projects as part of the Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program. The Yarriambiack Shire Council will contribute an extra $300,000. Mayor, Cr Massey said, “This represents the single biggest sport and recreation investment in Yarriambiack across three sites
COUNTRY Victoria’s annual Horse of the Year finalists have been announced, with Wimmera horse trainer Paul Preusker’s horse in this year’s top three. Preusker’s ‘Rapture’ ran brilliantly during the beginning of the 2019-20 season, winning six of his 11 starts. “He has been a brilliant horse to run,” Preusker said. “Winning in a few big country races including the Werribee Cup, Hamilton Cup and the Warracknabeal Cup has definitely boosted his profile, and he has done well to earn this recognition. “He began his racing career young in Adelaide before I got him back again to train in the Wimmera. He did have a bit of a bad attitude towards racing, but he was good enough to turn that around into a solid career. “We’ve spent plenty of time
together. Plenty of good memories as well as a few blips, including putting me in the hospital while we were breaking him in, but he has turned into a beautiful horse. “Rupture is taking a bit of time off now as he manages an injury, but hopefully we’ll get to see him out on the track a few more times - if not, we’ll prepare him for postracing life.” ‘Rupture’ is part of a field of three nominees, which have been selected by a panel of clubs all across Victoria. Voting for Victorian Country horse of the Year is now live on the Country Racing Victoria website. Preusker now turns his attention to the Spring Racing Carnival, where he is preparing Melbourne Cup fancy ‘Surprise Baby’ for a big season. ‘Surprise Baby’ ran in the cup last year, but Preusker is hoping that the five year old can make a bigger impact on the race this year around.

Harness racing gets green light AFTER a long hiatus from the northern echelon of the Wimmera, harness racing will return to Horsham on Thursday, August 27. Harness Racing Victoria gave the green light to the Horsham and District Harness Racing Club to resume their meets at the track, and the club will be looking to put on a great show for the region’s punters. Throughout the COVID-19 lockdown only seven tracks across Victoria have been open for meets, but now Horsham will welcome back the action. There is no doubt that it will look different to their last meet back in March, with the public barred from the track and only essential employees and officials allowed access. Club chief executive Joanne Cross has been working diligently around the clock to prepare protocols and plans in line with current COVID-19 restrictions. “We want Thursday to look as normal as possible, but also ensuring that the safety of all on the track is paramount,” Cross said. “We’ve been drafting our protocols and procedures for our officials and employees to follow, and we’re confident we can bring harness back to Horsham in a fun but safe way. “Trainers and jockeys, alongside stable officials and essential employees will be the only people permitted in the track, so unfortunately our supporters will have to watch remotely. “We are extremely grateful as a club to Harness Racing Victoria for allowing us to resume our
meets, and we hope to bring these as often as we can.” Club communications officer and self-described “racing
tragic” Tony Logan said although he’ll be deemed unessential, and therefore not able to attend the meeting in person, he’ll be
tuning in via the Harness Racing Victoria website. “Everybody has access through Live Trots Vision through the
