CFA DISAPPOINTMENT By James Thomas

VOLUNTEER firefighters say they are disappointed that the Victorian Government has failed to properly consult with them before the introduction of the state’s new fire service. From July 1, career firefighters and paid Country Fire Authority (CFA) staff will be transferred to Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV). The reforms were first introduced by the Victorian government in July last year, which are an attempt to modernise fire services in the state. However, Volunteer Fire Brigades

Victoria (VFBV) District 17 state councillor Maurice Dumesney said that the government had failed to properly consult with volunteer firefighters, having only had a single consultation for the district. “There have been a lot of broken promises and assurances that were given by the government 12 months ago when the FRV was first legislated,” he said. “There hasn’t been fullconsultation on some subjects and nothing on others.” District 17 covers the Horsham, Hindmarsh, West Wimmera, and Yarriambiack local government

areas. One problem raised by Mr Dumesney was the lack of proper frameworks, equipment sharing and tenancy agreements between volunteer brigades and career firefighters. For now, it will be less of an issue since the district lacked any integrated stations - those shared between volunteers and government funded service people. “It’s going to be positive for us in District 17 at this stage owing to the fact that we have only got CFA staff in the office at this stage,” Mr Dumesney said.

However, both Mr Dumesney and VFBV state councillor John Davies shared their concerns that the new service could bring about tensions between volunteers and paid staff. One issue brought up by both men was that FRV personnel would take charge when arriving at a ﬁre scene, which may interfere with CFA volunteer autonomy. “Now with the new structures, (CFA) will have their own vehicle and they’ll be able to turn up to the same scene as the FRV, but the FRV will be in charge of the ﬁre,” Mr Dumesney said “It would be good to have

cooperation between everyone. If FRV staff have the fireground, they may have some suggestions but our group officers have enough capability and knowledge of putting most fires out in the district.” “Backfilling” - where FRV staff temporarily fill a position in another district - could also be an issue for CFA volunteer stations, leaving them temporarily without senior officers. “My interpretation of that is: If there is a space available in another district, can a Horsham member, if it’s their day off, go down and backfill other districts?” Mr Dumesney said. • CONT.

Dear Editor The Overland Must Be Protected Rail is vital for rural and regional towns. Properly funded rail services whether they be passenger or freight, are of economic and social importance to not only these towns but their domestic and international markets in the case of freight. In my recent travels around Western Victoria, rail has been a central theme of every conversation. When I say every, I mean every. In some parts of country Victoria, trains have only met 0.6% of time targets. No, that’s not a typo. People in country Victoria feel shortchanged. They see huge investments in the Melbourne metro tunnel project coinciding with cost blowouts at the Westgate tunnel project, countless level crossing removals and forwarding planning on the suburban rail loop. No one argues these projects are not of significant importance, but we must be conscious of striking a better balance between funding for metropolitan and rural rail projects. We face the ludicrous situation of cost blowouts on the suburban rail loop and Metro

Because of COVID-19, we couldn’t knock on doors, but everyday Aussies still dug deep and supported us through our digital doorknock. For this, The Salvation Army says, “Thank you”. Not surprisingly, we are seeing increased demand for our services across the country, while anticipating even greater need to come. Be assured our staff and volunteers remain committed to serving Australians in need. Recently, there have been people who have never needed The Salvos before who have reach out for help. We know how tough it can be reaching out for help the first time. To you and others who need a hand, please know The Salvos are here, free of judgement, discrimination and prejudice. The Salvation Army’s frontline services have been hit hard by COVID-19 and we know many Australians have been impacted too. Any support you can give to The Salvos Red Shield Appeal at this time will assist Australians in need across the country. If you need assistance, or would like to support The Salvos Red Shield Appeal, please visit salvationarmy.org.au or call 13 SALVOS (13 72 58).

Dear Editor, What a huge six months we’ve had. As we continued to battle the worst drought in the past 100 years, suddenly the most devastating bushfires our country had ever seen hit. Then came a pandemic. COVID-19 struck out of the blue and financially crippled the nation. Not only did it bring economic hardship, it also brought extreme grief and loss, acute loneliness and uncertainty. Indeed, COVID-19 brought out some qualities we would prefer to forget; fighting for toilet paper, hoarding grocery items and stockpiling medicines. But it has also managed to bring out some our best qualities. Like our ability to rally together when the chips are down and looking out for one another - the true-blue Aussie spirit of mateship. This is certainly what The Salvation Army

Tunnel project in the order of billions of taxpayers’ funds, but Victoria cannot find the ‘spare change’ needed to keep essential rail services going. One key concern I had raised with me, was the future of The Overland rail service which travels between Victoria and South Australia. I enjoyed going to the Nhill station and meeting with the enthusiastic locals earlier this year, about the future of the service, but it was at a disappointing time when funding was about to dry up. Despite my lobbying inside and outside of Parliament, The Overland is ultimately a political football which is being neglected by the South Australian Liberal Government and the Victorian Labor Government. It’s just not good enough and we need The Overland to be protected. Member for Western Victoria Stuart Grimley

THE Wimmera will receive 44 new police members following recent funding from the state government. The new members will include the first all-female policing team at Halls Gap, and will mean two out of three inspectors in the Wimmera will be women. “Karen Bain is the sergeant out in charge in Halls Gap and predominantly in the past, because there are a lot of rescues involved and a lot of physicality, for a long time that was associated with a man’s world and having a man at Halls Gap,” Inspector Di Thomson, of Horsham, said. Sergeant Bain said she was “very proud” to be leading the team. “Their deep commitment to the community is matched by their strength, resilience and bravery when responding to search and rescue incidents in the Grampians National Park,” she said. “As a member of Victoria Police for over 30 years, to be part of this first all female team is quite remarkable.” The 16-hour stations in Nhill, Dimboola, Kaniva and Edenhope will also receive a new female member each. “For the first time ever those stations have got women at every one,” Inspector Thomson said. Inspector Di Thomson said all 44 positions

will be permanent. “In the Horsham police service area we have four more sergeants and 10 more in other ranks,” she said. “We’ve just had the first two of our sergeants and the next two are in (the hiring) process. “Then we’ll start to roll-out with the 10.” Inspector Thomson said the new members will improve the ability of Wimmera police to respond to community needs as they arise. “It prepares us for a much more agile policing service,” she said. “Out in those remote areas where we’ve not had these additional resources, that’s meant we’ve had to rely a lot on people for availability or recall people to duty where the community requires a response. “Now we can be a lot more agile because we’ve got more resources at hand.” It will also mean police can strengthen strategies that aim to prevent crime happening in the first place. “Crime prevention is always better for everyone,” Inspector Thomson said. “It’s more economical, it’s cheaper, and if we can prevent it before it happens there are fewer victims. “We’ll have more interactions with youth, vulnerable communities where they need it, and working the community more from the grassroots up. Hopefully that looks like a better outcome for everybody.”

DOGS REMAIN BANNED FROM BOTANIC GARDENS DOGS will remain banned from the Horsham Botanic Gardens after the council voted at its June meeting. The vote follows the results of a public survey the council put out in February. The councillors voted in favour of keeping the ban four to one, with only Cr Les Power voting against the motion. The council stated that the survey “was undertaken to provide direction to Council in response to an initial letter from Mike Coffey, supported by the Domestic Animal Management Advisory Committee, requesting Council to reassess its ‘no dog’ policy in the Horsham Botanic Gardens”. The committee requested that the council consider allowing dogs to have on-leash access to the gardens. The council received 419 responses. A total of 50.48 percent of respondents did not want

dogs allowed in the park, and 46.4 percent did want them allowed. Eighty-eight percent of respondents had visited the Horsham Botanic Gardens in the past 12 months and four percent of respondents frequented them more than once a week. The remaining respondents either didn’t answer the question or selected neither agree nor disagree. Of the surveyed respondents, 69 percent said they owned a dog. Some of the reasons the survey found for not wanting dogs in the gardens were unreliable levels of control and responsibility from dog owners, owners not picking up dog waste even when bags were provided by council, and families needing a safe space for small children to play. Councillor Josh Koenig spoke in favour of the ban. • CONT. PAGE 32

“In the event of a power outage, Horsham Aerodrome requires emergency power to ensure continuous availability of runway lighting and aeromedical services,” Mr Martin said.

The lighting enhancements will involve works to eliminate some mounding at the north end of the runway that is currently impairing the line of sight.

“Currently there is a generator in place to provide emergency power to some parts of the aerodrome, but it is not big enough to power all of the runway lights and the

Council endorses water park application By Connor McKenzie and JessieAnne Gartlan

HORSHAM City Council has moved forward with a funding application for the development of the Horsham Regional Water Play Park. The application is through the Sport and Recreation Victoria Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program and council endorsed the application during its June ordinary meeting on Monday. The program was announced by the state government in late May 2020 and is designed to inject economic stimulus into the Victorian economy during the recovery phase of COVID-19. Council said it may be the key to securing the funding to break ground on the water park. The Horsham Regional Water Play Park was identified as the most competitive project ready for this round of grants funding. The stimulus program allows councils to apply for grants for “shovel ready” projects estimated to cost between $1 million and $10 million dollars. The project will provide a new regional level water play facility, the first water play park in the Wimmera Southern Mallee region. “One of the challenges is being able to pay for these things so when grant opportunities come along, it’s council’s responsibility to look at those opportunities and say, is there something here that

would benefit our community?” Horsham mayor Councillor Mark Radford said. “Things like this we could never afford to pay for out of our own budget. So here is a grant opportunity that has been supported by Sport and Recreation Victoria.” The nature themed water play facility is to be constructed along the Wimmera River in central Horsham and will provide an outdoor recreation facility, free and accessible for all ages and capabilities. Horsham City Council will have to meet a minimum 10 percent contribution to the project for the funding application to be considered. The council said it sees this project as a unique opportunity to advance major projects that will have a large regional impact for a very small local contribution. “If it’s successful it will be a great thing not just for Horsham residents but Wimmera wide,” Cr Radford said. “It becomes a great place to visit for free.” However, Horsham Aquatic Centre Advisory Committee Neville McIntyre said he was concerned about the plan. He said that the committee has had a shovel ready waterpark project planned since he joined in 2015. “Emma Kealy promised us $2M to build it in 2018 if the Coalition

was elected but we’ve been waiting for funding ever since. Horsham is not big enough for two waterparks. “If they get the funding down there then what happens to the aquatic centre?” Mr McIntyre also raised concerns about what he called a lack of community consultation. “Where was the consultation?” he said.

“Because as far as I was aware the committee wasn’t informed. No wonder the council’s credibility is almost zero. “If funding for a fun park was available and they weren’t going to give it to the pool then at least the pool committee should have been informed.” The initial budget for the funding application is $2.9M,

excluding GST, with a proposed council contribution of $350,000, with the balance funding through the SRV grant. Horsham City Council expects their contribution can be provided through the recently announced Federal Government Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, which provided a grant allocation of $1.4 million.

Mayor’s message to council candidates:

DON’T LET SURVEY RESULTS DISCOURAGE YOU FROM RUNNING By JessieAnne Gartlan

HORSHAM Rural City Council mayor Mark Radford says he hopes prospective councillors are not put off by poor community satisfaction survey results. The annual survey was released last Thursday and delivered a poor result, achieving an overall indexed score of only 45 out of 100, down from 55 in 2019. This compares to an overall state-wide score of 56 for regional Victoria. Four hundred residents in the Horsham municipality were surveyed on what the council called seven core measures “including overall performance, customer service, community consultation and engagement, sealed roads, advocacy, overall

council direction and making decisions in the community’s interests”. Of these, overall council direction received the most negative response, with 40 percent of respondents rating it as ‘deteriorated’. The area with the most positive feedback was customer service, with 59 percent of respondents rating it good or very good. Thirty nine percent of respondents rated the council’s overall performance as unchanged from the previous year. Forty-seven percent of respondents rated sealed roads as poor or very poor. In comparison with other ratings areas, sealed roads rated lowest along with community decisions. Councillor Radford has

described the results as a “call to action” for the councillors, but did not want the survey to discourage anyone thinking of running for council ahead of the local government elections in October. “I really am conscious of encouraging other people to run for council and that they wouldn’t be discouraged by the survey results,” he said. “It’s important that we continue to encourage people to run for council and it’s important to realise when you do run for council that there are processes which you follow in your decision making. “They would take time to have a look at the council plan and the councillor code of conduct and ask the question ‘can I work within these boundaries?’.”

Cr Radford said he hadn’t decided whether he would run for a fourth term himself. “I will do the training and I will go through the process to run again and I will make a last minute decision,” he said. Until the election Cr Radford said the council would focus on improving the areas of improvement for council. “It does relate to our councillor group,” he said. “In the final months of our term we need to try and work together a little bit better and try to finish on a positive note. “On the other side of the coin, I don’t think the results necessarily relate to the work of our staff. “I think the council staff do an amazing job in all areas, particularly during the last

few months of challenging circumstances.” Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said it was “imperative” the council review the survey and mprove. “Clearly we need to make changes to meet the community’s evolving expectations. Council has many commitments to deliver on and our community is demanding we do better in a number of areas,” Mr Bhalla said. “Leading up to and during the survey period the council was listening and responding to a number of contentious issues, both within the Council Chamber and in the community. This may provide some explanation behind the results.” Read the full report on the council’s website.

$2000 WORTH OF SAFETY SIGNS STOLEN By Connor McKenzie

POLICE are investigating an incident that led to approximately $2000 worth of road safety signs and equipment being removed on the Minyip-Rich Avon road. “We’ve had a number of equipment removed from a 1.6km stretch of road under repair on the Minyip-Rich Avon road on Friday June 12 at approximately 3pm and Saturday June 13 at approximately 4pm,” Murtoa Police Sergeant Khan said. “Sixteen traffic cones and bases, six multidisplay control frames and 20 various control signs were removed by unknown persons, with the equipment valued at around $2000.” “There have been similar incidents of safety equipment and road signs being removed recently, with incidents near the Dimboola area as well as an incident between Wail and Kalkee.” “These incidents may be connected, so we urge anyone with relevant information to contact the Murtoa police station or Crime Stoppers as soon as possible,” Sergeant Khan concluded. Murtoa Police can be contacted on (03) 5385 2252, and Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. • Some equipment has been removed from a 1.6km stretch of the Minyip-Rich Avon road between Friday June 12 and Saturday June 13.

OVERLAND BARRY’S CORNER CAMPAIGNERS CALL ON COMMUNITY JessieAnne Gartlan

ADVOCATES for the Overland train service will continue to campaign for the service to continue for at least another six months. At a virtual summit last Friday supporters from both sides of the border met to discuss the next steps for the campaign to save the service. The Victorian government will defund the privately-run Melbourne to Adelaide passenger service on June 30. This is the second time this year funding from the Victorian government has been due to cease. It was also set to end at the end of March, but Transport Minister Melissa Horne announced it would be funded for another three months. The funding issue goes back to late 2018 when the South Australian government pulled out of a joint funding arrangement with the Victorian government, which has propped up the service since. The South Australian government had been contributing $330,000 annually to the service. Summit panellists included Horsham mayor Mark Radford, Nhill Save the Overland campaigner Margaret Millington, Adelaide railway historian John Wilson, and South Australian Member for Makin Tony Zappia. At the meeting Horsham Rural City Council mayor Mark Radford proposed the creation of the Friends of the Overland group, as well as a letter writing campaign that encouraged community

members to write to parliamentary representatives. Councillor Radford said the council would publish details for anyone interested in writing a letter on its Facebook page in upcoming days. During the meeting panellists also discussed the possibility of creating and marketing a rail tourism package. Cr Radford called the marketing and tourism opportunities for the Overland “unexplored”. “Linking our wide brown land with a network of passenger trains makes sense. Around the world the rail journey experience is very popular,” he said. “The unexplored tourism opportunities should be investigated. Towns along the line could benefit from attracting visitors for short-stay holidays.” He presented two possible tourism packages based around visiting the Grampians and the silo art trail that could work with the current Overland timetable. “The interesting thing about this proposal is that this has never happened before,” he said. “No one has ever thought about doing this before. “Why couldn’t every town along the line that has accommodation and hire cars available offer a similar thing?” Journey Beyond was invited to the summit but did not attend. Under COVID-19 restrictions and border closures, trips cannot be booked on the Overland earlier than August. Journey Beyond was contacted for comment.

Tree hollows

Many species of wildlife make use of hollows for nesting, protection or resting. Birds often starting checking hollows in late autumn or even all year to make sure it is still there or it has not been pinched

or taken over by an earlier nesting family. Well made nest hollows can be constructed and placed in trees or even on posts. It important to check a few sizes before you go to the trouble of making something up. For example kookaburras generally go for a horizontal branch, while parrots make use of vertical with an opening at the top and up to a metre of hollow. Owls like a place to be quiet and as in a suitable sized hollow. Sometimes owls make cover in sheds to roost for the day. After a fire many hollows are lost but the fire might create new opportunities and this is where nest boxes could fill in the gaps. A hollow in nearly any tree is a valuable piece of real estate for many wildlife species. Birds that usually dig tunnels in an embankment for egg laying can be attracted to boxes. I have

a number of these and pardolotes quickly moved in even though the boxes were 3-4 metres above ground. There is not much use setting up a nest box in open country. Try and set it up high enough for safety and not too high so be it can checked or cleaned every so often. Years ago there was a view that red tail black cockatoos only used the huge old dead trees in quiet back paddocks until a farmer said he would show us a nest and what we found was well inside a forest, a living tree and only 3-4metres off the ground. So that theory was out the door. Wild bees can be a risk if a swarm settles in the hollow. I have seen a swarm move into a low hollow which had two young rosellas about to fledge. They died. So did the bees soon after.

Superintendent Milner takes the helm discuss those issues that concerned them. “We really rely on members of the community to give us information,” he said. “That helps us do our job. Ideally, I encourage our members to provide that feedback to people who give us information to let them know what happened and what the result was.” Superintendent Milner will also continue local policing efforts to reduce road trauma. In April a major accident occurred near Great Western, when three vehicles collided on the Western Highway. The crash resulted in a fatality. “That’s a constant focus for us,” Superintendent Milner said. “We’re always trying to come up with

different initiatives and operations to try and reduce our road trauma. “We’ve got the Western Highway going right through the police service area. I’ve noticed a lot of trucks jumping on it after hours, which can create some serious accidents … because they are large heavy vehicles. “We’re trying to get the message out there for people to be safe and careful on those big roads - but not only those but the smaller roads (too). “They are an issue for us as well, especially for people who don't know the area and are going too fast on some of those roads. We’re trying to get people to slow down, take care and drive to the road and conditions.”

• TOP COP: Recently appointed Superintendent Ian Milner is focused on building relationships between Victoria Police and the community.

Superintendent Milner praised the community for its own initiative in establishing the Horsham Community and Police Consultative Committee, which works towards better safety outcomes for the community. He said it was something he would have been looking to establish had it not already existed. “I was really relieved to ﬁnd that it was already in place, and ideally we’ll have something similar in Ararat where we’re able to meet with the community and discuss those things that are important,” he said. “Those community consultative committees are really important because that’s a way we can get some understanding around what the challenges and issues are that are facing the community, and it helps us become aware and provide a policing response to them.” Superintendent Milner said he would encourage people to contact police and

IT was Victoria Police Superintendent Ian Milner’s love of people that prompted him to join the Western Region policing division. After years racking up experience in organised crime and counter-terrorism units in the city, Superintendent Milner replaces Paul Margetts, who served the area as superintendent for almost ﬁve years and left for an opportunity in Queensland. Arriving in April during the lockdown, Superintendent Milner hasn’t had much opportunity to get to know the community. Now that restrictions have begun to ease, he said his focus will be on building community relationships that enable police to take a collaborative approach to combatting crime. “We’re really keen on developing those core relationships with the community so that we can be proactive and try to stop a lot of offending happening before it does,” he said.

Real Estate POPULATION TRENDS TOWARD REGIONAL LIVING becomes more common. “Over the last few months, we’ve all had to change how we work, and this has allowed staff and employers to see that location is no longer a barrier for where we choose to work,” Ms Ritchie said. Georgia Batson is one example of a city dweller who moved regionally. She said she chose to move to Nhill from Melbourne to better isolate during COVID-19. “I didn’t really want to be there with COVID,” she said. “It was easier to isolate in the country at the family farm where there was more space. “I’m not really sure at this time (if I’ll move back). I’m not looking to go back before Christmas at this stage with how things are.” Horsham Rural City Council mayor Mark Radford said one of the council's focuses was to attract and retain new residents by improving the liveability of the area. “Investing in infrastructure is one of the ways we do it, whether it is investing in bike paths or improving other things around the town,” he said.

MORE people are choosing to move to regional Australia instead of big cities, a new report has found. The Regional Australia Institute released its report, The Big Movers, on June 23 and found that between 2011 and 2016 Australia’s two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, lost more residents to regions than they gained. In the five years to 2016, Sydney saw a net loss of 64,756 people to regional Australia, Melbourne 21,609 and Adelaide recorded a small net loss of around 1,000 residents. Brisbane bucked the trend with a net gain of 15,597 people. While very little data specific to the Wimmera was available in the report, it did find that Horsham gained 35 residents from Warrnambool but lost 59 to Warrnambool. The report stated this was part of a trend of people moving between regional areas. Regional Australia Institute Liz Ritchie said researchers expect to see the trend rise as COVID-19 encourages more people to move regionally as working from home

Business Trades Directory Rural confidence survey not all doom and gloom By Chris Michaels

A PREDICTED wetter than usual July and August and continued adherence to the strict protocols could ensure Victorian farmers come out the other side of the pandemic in even better shape than when it started. Agricultural Finance firm Rabobank stated the latest figures point to an increase in concerns among farmers and a suggestion that the economy and falling commodity price worries are the core reasons for the fall in confidence. The positive according to Rabobank is that grain growers bucked the trend with seasonal conditions in cropping regions, helping bolster confidence for the year ahead. Grain Producers chairman Andrew Weidemann who farms at Rupanyup says the survey is a “reasonable assessment”. “There is a worry as we have had a dry June,” he said. “The critical time for grain farming is in September and October.” In terms of boosting a more positive outlook Mr Weidemann suggested the international market and pricing signals are key.

“That would rebuild confidence,” he said. Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said he was pleased with the start to the season and cautiously optimistic about the future. “In the Wimmera our relationship with agriculture is different here to the rest of the nation,” he said. “We’ve had reasonable opening rain giving us confidence. Not all areas in Australia are in the same position. We’ve had a forecast of a wetter than average winter but June has been dry and we’ve had a lot of frost which has dried out the surface. “There are a lot of factors out of our control and farmers understand that. We’ve had a good start but where we end up who knows.” Mr Jochinke understands all too well how farming and the communities’ welfare can go hand in hand. “When agriculture has a good season every town has a good season,” he said. “When you put that seed in the ground you’re committed to that for the whole season.” The Rabobank survey suggested that some of the reasons farmers were showing less confidence included

issues in China with sales, the growing expense of supplies and their increasing cost, the inability to attend markets and sales and the impact on wool prices. “China’s lack of appetite for Australia’s commodities is affecting farming,” Mr Weidemann said.

Changes to LPA NVD in 2020

New versions of LPA NVDs (0720) will be available from 1 July 2020. For a period of six months, from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020, both updated and current NVD versions will be accepted.

Tarranyurk farmer Marshal Rodda’s attitude was one of optimism, and while he did agree with some elements of the survey, he believed farmers did have some natural protections from the dangers of coronavirus. “We do work in isolation so we can be least affected,” he said.

• Horsham Centre Cinema is set to reopen this Friday. By Chris Michaels

THE Horsham Cinema will reopen on Friday with revised session times and with restricted numbers. The cinema will showcase seven movies, including two Australian releases Brock and Legend Of The Five, and will be keeping spaces limited to just 20 per session in-line with new Victorian coronavirus regulations. Cinema manager Kerry Bolwell said she’d been inundated with enquiries about resuming sessions. “Everyone has been asking when we will

be returning, especially after Saturday when restrictions became tighter again,” she said. We are encouraging people to pre-book and preferably on the phone. We don’t want people to be disappointed.” To make sure everyone visiting the cinema remained safe and healthy Ms Bolwell said that extra cleaning measures will be in place. “Apart from our normal cleaning routine that we have always done, everything will be cleaned after each movie session and surfaces wiped down regularly,” Ms Bolwell said. While some of the big Hollywood blockbuster

movies have been temporarily shelved by many film companies until a later date, Ms Bolwell said that has created an opportunity for some lesser known films to shine. “Some of the smaller film companies are actually able to get their foot in the door,” she said. “We’re hoping to attract some of the film societies from the region because we’ll be showing some of the types of films they’ll be

Pilot project to combat family violence By JessieAnne Gartlan

WESTERN Victorian health organisations have banded together to create a pilot project that aims to create a proactive response to family violence. A successful joint funding application between Western Victoria Primary Health Network, Wimmera Healthcare Group, Grampians Community Health, Rural Northwest Health and PANDA will see $1.43M distributed to the project across three years. The program is still in its early stages but Western Victoria PHN chief executive Rowena Clift said it was being designed to help support agencies manage the early stages of family separations. “The First 180: Preventing and Responding to Family Violence’ pilot will aim to strengthen primary care’s capacity to identify and support all members of ‘at risk’ separating families, with a particular focus on the first 180 days after a couple separate as a preventative approach to family violence based on identified needs in the region,” she said. “To receive this project funding is a huge step forward for the health of the community in the Wimmera Grampians region. “Every one of our communities across western Victoria has different needs, so delivering localised primary health care that addresses these varying requirements is the best way forward in ensuring that the Wimmera Grampians community receives the equitable care it requires most.” Data from the Western Victoria PHN said the Northern Grampians municipality had one of the highest rates of family violence, based on the uptake of specialist services.

The health organisation also said that primary care workers have an important role in early intervention as women experiencing the effects of family violence typically make 7-8 visits to health professionals before disclosure. “Importantly, women want to be asked directly about abuse by supportive health professionals. “However, if women do disclose family violence to their health professional, there is evidence of some inappropriate, poor quality responses. So this project aims to improve that response.” The organisation will develop a training package to deliver to primary care staff over the next two years. Acting Inspector David Ellis, of Horsham, said early intervention and assistance was key in combatting family violence. “I think the earlier that that sort of intervention can occur, the better,” he said. “As soon as we become aware of it we can do some referrals with the agencies we partner with to provide that.” Acting Inspector Ellis encouraged anyone experiencing family violence, or who suspected someone was perpetrating family violence, to contact the police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. If you need help call Lifeline on 13 11 14 (24/7), or the Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467 (24/7), or in an emergency dial Triple Zero. LGBTIQ+ people can call QLife for counselling and referrals on 1800 184 527. Anyone concerned about their own behaviour can call the Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491.

MEET THE HORSHAM TIMES TEAM ... JESSICA TAYLOR I would like to introduce myself Jessica Taylor (nee Ward) as the Managing Director of the Horsham Times. I grew up in Warracknabeal and jumped straight into a cadetship after school under the Warracknabeal Herald and a few years later moved to Brisbane where I joined the Australian Army.

After about eight years as an Unmanned Air Vehicle operator of the Shadow 200, I decided to return to the country and raise our daughter Grace, with my husband Brett. The connection that our communities have is something that I have found unique to the country lifestyle.

As a newspaper, our aim is to share the great achievements and tribulations of our communities and record their history. The wonderful benefit of a community newspaper is its ability to connect the community through the news and immortalising it in print form as well as online.

opportunity arose for me to take over management of North West Press, our family commercial design and print business, where I now work predominantly, in conjunction with my compositing and management duties for the The Horsham Times. I’m married to my high school

sweetheart Georgia and I’m a new Dad to Zoe, who was born in April, around the same time as the new newspaper! As Operations Manager, I’m excited for what’s to come for The Horsham Times, and look forward to meeting more of the Horsham community in the coming months.

ANDREW WARD The son of David and Jenny Ward, I was born and bred in Warracknabeal along with my older sisters Jessica and Erin. I have grown up at the Warracknabeal Herald, and over the years have experienced all parts of the business. Around ﬁve years ago the

JESSIEANNE GARTLAN My name is JessieAnne Gartlan and I am the newly appointed editor of The Horsham Times. I am very excited to get to know you, the reader, better and to cover the issues that impact your life in this beautiful part of the world. I was born in the city and do

enjoy a soy latte but rest assured, I am not entirely new to the region. My most recent posting was in Ararat, and I sometimes wrote for related publications in the Wimmera. Prior to that I reported on the Mallee region out of Kerang. I’m an introvert that loves a

good Stephen King novel, a good zombie movie, and great local journalism. You can ﬁnd me at The Fig Tree Cafe on Thursdays between 11am and 12pm, enjoying said latte. Please come and say g’day.

and getting to know what makes them tick - and by extension, the community. I left the Gold Coast for Warracknabeal earlier this year because it was an opportunity to work at one of the remaining independent news publishers in the country. Local newspapers are perhaps one of the only places

where members of the community can speak earnestly about issues that aﬀect them. Another reason I pursued journalism was because I didn’t want to solely rely on the press for information.

JAMES THOMAS My interest in journalism began through a fascination with the intrigues and ironies of history. While English wasn’t my ﬁrst language, reading news, particularly local news, I discovered I enjoyed understanding a person’s perspective on any given issue

CHRIS MICHAELS My name is Chris Michaels and I am a journalist at The Horsham Times. I feel very fortunate to be back living and working again in the Wimmera region, and glad to be enjoying the sights and surrounds of this beautiful and diverse area.

The Horsham Times will continue to provide insight into everything happening in your town and we will share the achievements and stories that matter to you. I have written for various magazines and newspapers across Sydney, Adelaide and

Melbourne over the last 20+ years. Most recently I have been contributing to Forte Magazine in Geelong. I have a small business on the side and a little boy Lachlan, who is three and a half.

SCOTT STEWART Joined the Warracknabeal Herald team in 1986 and apart from a short venture away, have been a compositor my whole time here. Originally completed an apprenticeship as a Hand and Machine Compositor and attended trade school at the North Melbourne School of

Graphic Arts from 87-90. I started an apprenticeship under the guidance of Carolyn Schache before later taking over the role of production manager producing a bi-weekly Herald. Later producing a weekly edition of The Dimboola Banner and Rainbow-Jeparit Argus. I am married to Nicole and have

three children, Liam, Alyssa and Dane. I enjoyed football, tennis, cricket and basketball in younger sporting playing years and nowadays enjoy a round of golf. I was invited to be part of The Horsham Times team and am currently enjoying working with new team members and producing our weekly edition.

GEORGIA BATSON Hi, I’m Georgia and I’m the new graphic designer for The Horsham Times. I grew up in Nhill attending local schools and then completed my last two years at Ballarat Clarendon College. I was living in Melbourne

working at a design studio right up until COVID hit. Being a country kid, I decided to move back to our family farm to make the isolation period a little easier. I was excited to ﬁnd work locally at The Horsham Times in these challenging times.

When I’m not designing, you’ll ﬁnd me with family and friends, hiking outdoors, playing and watching sport, cooking and eating delicious food, spending time with my dog, Max.

Motoring SEATBELT CAMPAIGN RETURNS TO TACKLE WORRYING TREND

THE Transport Accident Commission is reviving one of its most powerful campaigns following a rise in the number of deaths involving drivers and passengers not wearing a seatbelt on our roads. Minister for Roads, Road Safety and TAC Jaala Pulford announced the return of the compelling 1992 seatbelt television advertisement that implores Victorians to buckleup. The ad, dubbed ‘bend your knees, Katie’, depicts an horriﬁc accident and emotional aftermath as a young woman learns to walk again following a crash. Last year, 31 people died while not wearing a seatbelt – nearly 30 percent of all fatalities and the highest rate since 2012. Sadly, that trend has continued so far this year with no seatbelts a factor in 11 of the 99 deaths on our roads. This year marks the 50th

anniversary of seatbelts becoming mandatory in Victoria – the first jurisdiction in the world to do so – and road safety authorities are deeply concerned that drivers and passengers are choosing not to use this life-saving safety feature. The TAC’s latest Road Safety Monitor survey into driver behaviour indicates that potentially 170,000 Victorian drivers do not always wear a seatbelt when they get in the car. While this indicates that 97 percent of drivers are doing the right thing – it’s nearly 200,000 unsafe drivers on Victorian roads. The Road Safety Monitor is an annual survey of more than 1800 Victorians, which identifies road user behaviours and attitudes. The survey findings also highlight that 50 percent of respondents reported having driven after drinking alcohol in the past 12 months – an increase of two percent on the previous year.

Despite this, the majority of survey respondents nominated illegal drinkdriving as the most dangerous driving behaviour, closely followed by drowsy driving and using a hand-held mobile phone.

The four-week campaign, starting soon, will also include new outdoor, digital, print and social media content, headlined with the message, “Seatbelts. What’s stopping you?”. Minister for Roads, Road

Safety and the TAC Jaala Pulford said, “It is staggering that 50 years since seatbelts were made mandatory in Victoria, we are still seeing far too many people die our roads by failing to buckle up.”

ICONIC HOLDEN PREDICTED TO SELL FOR OVER $1M AT AUCTION THE first factory-built race car to bear a Holden badge is predicted to double the previous record for a Holden vehicle sold at auction. The 1969 Holden HT Monaro being offered for sale, is credited with launching the Holden Dealer Team’s racing dominance in the 70’s and 80’s, cementing the Holden versus Ford rivalry that still divides the nation. “We expect that this incredible piece of history will break seven figures – making it the most expensive Holden ever,” Chief Operations Officer for Lloyds Auctions Mr Hames said. “The enquiry on this car is massive from all over the country, many people are even saying that it will reach seven figures,” Mr Hames continued. As rare, vintage and collectable items become increasingly popular with punters we are continuing to

see more and more auctions consist of these items with values still rapidly increasing especially in the current environment in recent months. “This particular HT Monaro is an extremely special car with a very rich history and a story that will never be forgotten especially by Holden enthusiasts and this is the reason why it could actually fetch a seven figure amount breaking Australian records,” continued Mr. Hames. This HT Monaro is the first Holden prepared by motorsport legend Harry Firth, which debuted at the 1969 Sandown 300, but a fiery crash at the 45-minute mark ended the race prematurely. Findings from the crash were used to homologate changes for other HDT Monaro’s which led to Colin Bond and Tony Roberts claiming victory at Bathurst the same year, with Des

West and rookie Peter Brock finishing third. Thus the legendary success of Holden’s Dealer Team was launched, and Holden’s ongoing rivalry with Ford cemented. “This car is a significant piece of Australian motorsport history, not only shaping the success of Holden as a company, but also setting the stage for the domination by Holden and Peter Brock for the following two decades,” said Mr Hames. “While we’re seeing rare classic cars like Holden Torana’s and GT Falcon’s selling for hundreds of thousands, none have the colourful backstory or cultural significance of this Monaro, which is what makes it so rare and special,” continued Mr Hames. Last year marked 50 years since the HT Monaro’s commenced the Holden dynasty, a new era for the Holden Dealer Team on the mountain.

VISITORS FLOCK TO FIND LOCAL TREASURES By JessieAnne Gartlan

• OPEN: Volunteers Tricia Arber and Elizabeth Minne of the Makers Gallery and Studio say they have received an influx of visitors since reopening. – ADVERTORIAL –

DON’T DO YOUR BLOCK OVER A LUMP OF FIREWOOD THOSE that enjoy a day out cutting a load of wood in the paddocks will appreciate the satisfaction of seeing the trailer or ute loaded up and then stocking up the wood pile to keep the family warm. That’s all well and good, but then the hard work really starts, when those lovely big pieces of red gum or box need to be converted to manageable sizes to fit into the fireplace or the wood heater. Let alone the problem of lifting a 30 kilogram piece of wood into the fire. That has the potential to cause a great deal of home disharmony, especially if there is no one strong enough when the fire needs to be loaded. Of course there are wood merchants who may or may not have wood when you need it, it can be expensive and sometimes one doesn’t know what the quality or dryness of the wood may be either. Enter the hydraulic block splitter, a phenomenon some hardened wood gatherers and professionals have known about for many years. Of course the older big hydraulic block splitters were always quite expensive and generally far bigger and with greater power than most home wood collectors needed. These four stroke engine driven hydraulic block splitters of today however are not toys. Rated from 25 tonne, to 30 tonne and up to 40 tonne splitting capacity, they have extraordinary power that will literally crunch through just about any knotty or gnarly piece of fuel one may choose to put on the heavy duty splitter bed. Using a rather large, two stage hydraulic ram, the splitting tool on the front of the ram can turn days of back breaking block splitting into an hours work of perfectly sized pieces, without the splinters, the bruised knuckles and even those more potentially serious back injuries. Dimboola Stockfeed and Produce, the Wimmera dealers for

SINCE COVID-19 restrictions eased tourists have been flocking to Horsham’s Makers Gallery and Studio despite ongoing challenges to the retail sector. The volunteer-run gallery is situated within the Horsham Library on McLachlan Street and specialises in locally made artisan items, selling everything from fine art paintings to Indigenous-themed jewellery and handmade children’s toys. The gallery closed on March 23 but on June 1 it reopened for three days a week - half its normal trading hours. Despite shortened hours, coordinators said it has already received over 1000 visitors. Coordinator Tricia Arber said she was glad to be able to boost the profiles of local artists again. “We’ve got original, handcrafted goods in here,” she said. “Everything is made by local people and we’ve had quite a number of sales (since reopening), which is awesome.” Due to reduced volunteer availability, the gallery is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am - 4pm instead of its usual six days a week. “It’s hard to get volunteers right now (to help keep the gallery open) because a lot of them are older and

vulnerable,” secretary Elizabeth Minne said. Another challenge the gallery volunteers are facing is the border closure. “We get a lot of visitors here from interstate … so until the South Australian border opens up it could be slow,” Ms Arber said. “But we do get lots of state visitors as well from Melbourne and all over Victoria. “They go to the information centre and they tell them to come here.” Both Ms Minne and Ms Arber said the option of opening an online shop during the lockdown wouldn’t have worked for the sensory nature of the gallery. “We’re a very tactile place and a lot of people (prefer to) touch it, smell it, feel the fabric,” she said. However, Ms Arber said the volunteers did take advantage of the lock down to give the flooring a facelift. “Before it was these little brown tiles and now the whole gallery is lifted,” she said. Going forward, the volunteers will continue to focus on attracting Victorian visitors and giving local artists a platform with which to promote their work. “If anybody would like to come and visit us, we’re here,” Ms Arber said.

Connectivity issues in the Wimmera means thinking outside of the box By Chris Michaels

• Long standing Dimboola Stockfeed and Produce service mechanic Gary Nuske demonstrates a 25 horsepower model of the Millers Falls Black Diamond block splitter now on sale.

a number of years for the Millers Falls Black Diamond block splitters have sold literally hundreds of these marvellous machines and rarely see them again except for the occasional service. Neil and Rose Shaw purchased Dimboola Stockfeed and Produce from former owners Phil and Deb Colquhoun earlier this year, but their loyal and experienced service staff continue with the team, providing all the knowledge and know how only years of working with this type of equipment can bring to the customer. Dimboola Stockfeed and Produce now have on sale a number of the remaining block splitters, very few of which remain in the region, after an overseas supplier had a mishap

with shipping of these units earlier this year. Of course these machines are not the only convenience to the avid woodcutter either, carrying in stock powered bench saws, as well as being an authorised dealer for renowned chainsaw and power tool manufacturer Stihl, providing all the necessary expertise for service, parts and repairs for all small engine power tools. For those members of the wood gathering family, do yourselves and your back a favour, see Neil, Rose and the team at Dimboola Stockfeed and Produce for a demonstration of these super cool and highly effective hydraulic block splitters, once you’ve tried one, you’ll never regret it.

A RECENT connectivity survey run region-wide by the Wimmera Development Association has recommended residents continue to work remotely as a way of easing into life after the coronavirus. The survey also highlighted a disparity between the standard of internet coverage throughout the region, and the consumer’s lack of understanding as to the service that best suits their needs. Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said the Wimmera region doesn’t always compare well to other regional areas. “Connection in town means far less people are accessing the NBN,” Mr Souness said. The survey found evidence that urban areas didn’t always mean better service than rural areas, people were sometimes paying for internet speeds they didn’t actually get and the flattening of ‘peak times’ as a more even spread of usage occurred. “Some of the barriers in staying connected during this time are affordability, sometimes knowledge, or access to a modern phone or not having a computer at home,” said Mr Souness. “In rural spaces people have had satellite internet and have had poor experiences so they are sceptical,” said Mr Souness. While the survey showed that there was added pressure on connectivity with more people working from home, there were opportunities to

think outside of the square in terms of getting people connected quicker and for longer. Further survey results showed that employees working remotely from home could alleviate the stress of travel time to and from work and education activities. Mr Souness said the decision to work remotely should be made on a “role by role” basis. “Sometimes working face to face builds a sense of team. One size doesn’t fit all. A mix of home and office can be good.” The survey found that residents had limited choices when it came to providers and that larger providers didn’t always guarantee a better service. People were frustrated by poor connectivity and at times a lack of quality infrastructure. These issues tended to be magnified during an already stressful and difficult time. “People often feel that the NBN is letting them down,” said Mr Souness. “But often the router isn’t facing the right way. At the end of the day people just want fast internet and for it to work the best it can.” This in turn could encourage people to move to the region and be able to keep their employment while enjoying a new environment. “People will want to mix family and work life going forward,” said Mr Souness. “A lot more people will work from home. Instead of going away for a meeting there will be an expectation people will be just as engaged using available resources.”

28 THE HORSHAM TIMES - Friday, June 26, 2020

Rural Northwest Health funding for mobility pilot project FUNDING for a specialised care pilot project has been signed off by the Federal Government, giving residents of rural and regional areas greater access to localised care. Rural Northwest Health will join Wimmera Health Care Group and Grampians Community Health in a four year project which aims to deliver specialised care for people living with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Rural Northwest Health CEO Kevin Mills said that the $1.69 million in funding for the pilot project is another step towards improving health outcomes for communities in western Victoria. “I am very excited for our communities to gain access to specialised skilled services for Movement Disorders,” he said. “The very nature of these disorders further inhibits their capacity to travel to access services, having local access will dramatically improve the ability for our community to live their best life possible.” Entitled ‘Western Region Movement Disorder Better Care,’ the program will support three movement disorder nurses in Warracknabeal, Horsham, and Stawell with the intention to build localised specialist knowledge. The program also intends to provide care coordination to build the capability of people

living with complex movement disorders so that they can better manage their condition, increase access to medical support, treatments, and therapies. FUNDING Western Victoria Primary Health Network and Parkinson’s Victoria applied for the funding from the Federal Government which it will then deliver to each regional healthcare group. WVPHN Chief Executive Officer Rowena Clift said that the best way to ensure equitable care in western Victoria was to develop localised knowledge. “Every one of our communities across western Victoria has different needs, so delivering localised primary health care that addresses these varying requirements is the best way forward in ensuring that the Wimmera Grampians community receives the equitable care it requires most,” she said. Parkinson’s Victoria CEO Emma Colin said that the pilot project will help to address the “enormous need” to build the capacity and knowledge. COMPLEX CARE “Parkinson’s is a highly complex condition and access to specialist local advice will help people to better manage their condition and live well.” WVPHN and Parkinson’s Victoria are in the process of finalising the project’s details before it rolls out in the coming months.

WW2 - CHRISTINA RUTH CRAMER Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) Australian Army Medical Women’s Service (AAMWS) CHRISTINE Ruth Cramer was born in Lorquon near Nhill on 25th December 1914. Her father was Norman Cramer of Netherbury. Christine as a member of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) On her Mobilization form Christine enlisted for her war service at VAD Headquarters 217 Lonsdale street/ Williams street on 20th November 1942 in the AAMW. Her position was stated as a Ward Attendant. From December 1942, any Service’s officer or soldiers was subject to military law and to the provisions of the Defence Act, the Army Act and the Rules of Procedure. The majority of the original recruits for the AAMWS were drawn from the ranks of the Voluntary Aid Detachments, and the experience they already had, was of great benefit in their work in military hospitals, both home and overseas. By her attestation form Christine enlisted in the Australian Army Military Forces at Ballarat on 5th October 1943. Her number was VFX 127676. She served with the Australian Army Medical Women’s Service.

She was detached to VAD Signals Corp Balcombe Melbourne 26/11/42 As AAMWS she was transferred to 107 Con Depot Ballarat as a detachment on 21/12/42 and 22/12/42. Here she stayed until 17/5/43. Then transferred from 107 Con Depot Ballarat to staff at 30 camp hospital. Many thousands of Australian and American servicemen passed through 30 camp hospital since it was founded at Victoria Park early in the war. At one stage nearly 5,000 US marines were there. On the 2/6/43 was Christine became ill and was evacuated to 108 AGH with Broncoclitis staying until she was announced fit enough to join her unit on 19/6/43. Christine graduated Grade 2 Clerk on 7/5/43 at 30 Camp Hospital. Again she was evacuated to 108 G H being admitted with Bronchial Pneumonia on 7/7/43. She rejoined her unit again at 30 camp hospital on 9/7/43 and was struck off the list. She had a third evacuation to 108 General Hospital on the 23/7/ 43, this time with a paronychia (very infected and inflammed) left thumb. After rejoining her unit again was struck off the list. Christine was transferred on 14/09/43 to AIF Attached to army with service No VFX127676 until 20/12/43, where again she was transferred to 107 Aust Con Depot on detachment on three occasions the

20/12/43, 20/1/44 and 24/1/ 44 where she stayed until 23/2/44, returning again to 30 Australian camp hospital. Christine was promoted to Army Captain Clerk on 10/2/144 and her appointment was confirmed on 10/5/1944 while she serving with her unit at 30 Australian camp hospital. On her determination of Demobilization Priority Form dated 24/6/ 46 under the heading Allotment of Special priority, Christina was promoted to Captain and was at Head Quarters South Command 3127. As a clerk she would have to provide general administrative and clerical support services for the medical and surgical wards at 107 Australian Convalescence Depot and 30 Australian Camp hospital. They were required to do work efficiently and in compliance with Army hospital policies and procedures. They were given more medical training during the war but often not qualified nurses. There was three stages which the Army used in repatriation of military personnel who required medical care. Part one was the chain of evacuation, part two was mobile and fixed hospitals and part three was the evacuation of the wounded. They saw to the return of soldiers from the war who needed ongoing nursing care. As ward clerk Christine would have had to set up records for new patients, transcribe doctor’s orders from patient records. She would have had to copy information such as temperature, pulse rates, blood pressure into patients records. The accuracy of records was the responsibility of the clerk. Christine would have had to decide what to do with patients,

PULFORD TAKES CHARGE OF NEW PORTFOLIO By Chris Michaels

VICTORIAN Government minister Jaala Pulford has been sworn in as Minister for Employment; Innovation, Medical Research and the Digital Economy; and Small Business. The portfolio change follows a cabinet reshuffle due to the Labor branch stacking scandal that broke in early June and resulted in three ministers either resigning or being sacked. Ms Pulford’s previous portfolio had included Roads, Road Safety and the TAC; and Fishing and Boating, and served as the first female agriculture minister in the previous Andrews Labor government. During this term of Parliament Ms Pulford had been involved in the Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation, criminalising wage theft and making workplace manslaughter a criminal offence. Ms Pulford has been a member for Western Victoria since 2006 after spending more than a decade as an official of the National Union of Workers. Having grown

This Week’sTHIS WEEKS Markets MARKETS SHEEP & LAMB

BENDIGO

YARDING: 16500 LAMB: 12000 SHEEP: 4500

Smaller yarding of lambs after the wet weather. Buyer competition was erratic, with not all processors operating fully and tending to step in and out of the market. Prices were very mixed and driven by both lamb weight and quality. All the heavy lamb categories recorded cheaper price results, while any genuine domestic lambs under 24kg cwt and in fresh condition were firm to dearer. Buyers did target any of the better bred lines of lambs in shorter-skins, while odd woolly and winter clean-up lots were often discounted. This caused price estimates in carcase terms to widen over many lamb categories, an example being the big export lambs which were recorded at 670c to 780c/kg cwt. The heaviest crossbred lambs sold from $225 to a top of $261/head, with an average run estimated at costing processors around 750c/ kg cwt. The heavy 26 to 30kg lambs made from $215 to $238/head, and again there was a wide carcass price spread

YARDING: 20492 LAMB: 17038 SHEEP: 3454 17,000 lambs of mixed quality yarded.

Trade lambs, 18 to 22kg, sold from $171 to $218/head. Lambs, 22 to 24kg, sold from $196 to $222/head, ranging from 839c to 991c to average around 920c to 940c/kg cwt. 4 score lambs, 24 to 26kg, sold from $211 to $228/head, making from 832c to 892c/kg cwt.

YARDING: 7647 LAMB: 4899 SHEEP: 2748

Lamb supply increased to 4,899 at Horsham. Quality was more mixed this week, but with reasonable numbers of trade weight and heavy lambs penned.

Heavy lambs reached $270, with medium and heavy short skin trade weights selling from $205 to $229/head. Merino lambs mostly sold from $131 to $206/head to be a few dollars easier. Restockers and feeders paid from $125 to $168 for lambs and paid $180/ head for Merino wethers returning to the paddock. Sheep supply also increased with 2,748 yarded, including some excellent large runs of shorn Merino ewes and wethers. Most of the usual buying group operated selectively in an easier market by up to $20/head in places, on the heavy sheep, with light and medium weights selling closer to last weeks levels. Merino wethers sold to $205, with Merino ewes reaching $203/head. Light weight 2 score lambs, 12

PAKENHAM

YARDING: 1307 CHANGE: -493 There were approximately 850 export and 450 young cattle penned representing a decrease of 500 head week-on-week. The usual buying group was present and competing in a dearer market in places. Quality declined with a larger proportion of the more limited offering showing the effects of the Wintry weather. The best vealers sold a little dearer while averages were back a little with quality an issue. Yearling trade cattle sold a few cents dearer on most sales with the grain assisted lots at the top end a little cheaper. Grown steers and bullocks sold firm to 5c/kg dearer. Manufacturing steers gained 7c to 13c/kg. Light weight dairy cows sold firm while most cows improved 10c to 20c/kg. Heavy bulls sold firm. Vealers sold from 330c to 455c/kg. Yearling trade steers made between 367c

SHEPPARTON

YARDING: 1200 CHANGE: -300 Numbers were back for a wet and wintery day at Shepparton. There were 800 exports and 460 trade cattle penned. It was a fair quality yarding, although cows were not quite to last weeks standards. Prices across most grades of cattle rose again this sale. Beef and dairy cows were firm to 5c dearer, the grown steers were 10c to 13c/kg higher. Not many heavy bullocks with more under 600kg liveweight this week. Feedlotters were quieter as processors push for numbers. The trade cattle also met healthy gains particularly on the yearling heifers which saw a 15c to 30c/kg improvement. Yearling steer numbers were limited. Vealers to the trade made from 360c to 420c, while light weight vealers to the paddock reached 424c/ kg. The yearling steers B and C muscled ranged from 375c to 430c/kg. The yearling heifer portion made from 365c to 410c, to average 398c/kg for C3 classes. While

Virtual app to bring the Grampians into your home By Chris Michaels

HALLS Gap Lakeside Tourist Park owner Josephina McDonald has linked up with local Halls Gap attractions like the Grampians National Park, Zoo and Halls Gap Hotel to create a free Grampians Virtual Holiday Game App on iOS and Android. Ms McDonald said the app was created to off-set the effects on tourism locally because of the coronavirus, and because “I love sharing our backyard”. “I wanted to ﬁnd a creative way to stay in touch with our customers,” she said. “It’s really important. Generally people need to see a place eight times before booking for the ﬁrst time. Eight touch points before booking - so Facebook, a picture in a book. Because people aren’t socialising and talking about their holidays with others the app helps.” Ms McDonald said that the app is fun, informative and designed to give a taste to people of just what the Grampians have to offer. “It’s a scavenger hunt in the comforts of your own home,” she said. “I think people are doing it very hard and here is a bit of entertainment.” The app features hidden cockatoos on each page, and each click brings a new experience. There are challenges at every turn, and all related to a holiday in the Grampians. Visitors can hike, camp and explore both the Tourist Park as well as the Hotel, National Park and Zoo. Ms McDonald will continue to “just keep telling people about the Grampians.” “It’s a gift for people,” she said. “We’re all extremely grateful we’re all okay compared to other countries. And I genuinely think we are going to be okay here in the Grampians.”

Second wave concerns an opportunity By Connor McKenzie

THE recent spike in conﬁrmed COVID-19 cases has health ofﬁcials and centres working hard to prevent a second wave, but the Wimmera Health Care Group sees an opportunity to continue advocating for better cleanliness and social distancing. Recent case numbers have risen to as high as 20 increasing concerns about an incoming second wave of virus transmission. However Wimmera Health Care Group believes that while the community is at unease with the spike, now is the perfect time to continue being vigilant, accountable and adhering to medical advice. WHCG CEO Catherine Morley has been proud of the Wimmera’s continued observation of all advice, but says the community must not become complacent. “There are three clear messages we are

advocating to residents in the region,” Ms Morley said. “Maintain the recommended 1.5 metres social distancing, and continue to wash your hands regularly, especially after contact with a common surface area. “Do not mix in the community if you feel unwell. Avoid public places and do not go into work. “If you are not well, contact your doctor and get tested. There are many testing clinics in the region, including Horsham Base Hospital and Liston House.” WHCG executives have seen an increase in numbers attending clinics recently, which they say is encouraging considering the Victorian spike. For more information and safety measures regarding the COVID-19 virus, please visit the Wimmera Health Care Group’s website for up to date news at www.whcg.org.au.

CFA DISAPPOINTMENT from page 1 “I would be very disappointed if members from District 17 choose to do that on their day off. While they are not situated in District 17, they are off making money in another district and are not supporting volunteers.” Mr Davies said that one of his main concerns was that current CFA staff had been treated poorly and that volunteers would not be represented in the new service, particularly in matters of discipling and boundary changes. “Some staff have been treated very poorly,” Mr Davies said. “They didn’t want to go across but now they’ve been told they have to which has been quite disconcerting. “We’ve been told all the way along that this change won’t affect volunteers. Everything in relation to discipline will be done through

a committee, which is stacked with (United Firefighters Union) staff and government appointees, so volunteers won’t have much representation on that. “But I will give the volunteers their due: they will look after their local community and they won’t let their local community down.” But Mr Dumesney is confident that the new setup may work, owing to the fact the paid staff will only be in office at this stage. “We’ve had a lot of troubles over the years getting personnel into District 17 but now that we have all of our positions filled, it’s going to be a big help to volunteers across the district,” he said. “Each catchment area is going to have their own designated commander to work with so volunteers will have someone to call up and talk about particular problems in their catchment area.”

DOGS BANNED from page 3

“I witness on a near daily basis dogs off lead (along the Wimmera River) and dog owners consistently failing to pick up after their dogs,” he said. “So until you can walk the Wimmera River without needing to step over dog waste, we shouldn’t open up the gardens.” The council also found the cost of maintaining the gardens would increase if dogs were allowed in. The gardens are also a space used for events such as weddings, further highlighting the need for a highly maintained environment. “It’s a difﬁcult decision,” Cr Pam Clarke said. “I’m a dog lover too and I do enjoy when we’ve had a dog to take it for a walk. However, the botanic

gardens are really historical and we need to protect them and their pristine management. “We’ve got many off leash dog areas in Horsham and they are widely used, and I think it’s important to listen to our staff who maintain the area and they are not in favour of bringing dogs in.” The council noted that May Park does allow dogs on lead and has an unfenced play space. On the other side, reasons given for allowing dogs into the park included having a safe space for smaller dogs who may struggle with bigger dogs in other areas, increased activation of the park, and that a public park should be accessible to everyone. The policy does not apply to seeing-eye and other assistance dogs.

tourists, particularly younger families, to travel the less beaten tracks. “We wanted to encourage people to explore the amazing landscapes of the Wimmera Mallee and to celebrate the unique, fun, and interesting areas of our local towns,” she said. “It’s not supposed to be your normal five-star holiday, so we are targeting families and people who want that little bit more of an adventure. “This is only anecdotal but originally when we spoke to people in local businesses, they told us that people were travelling through quickly. It was more of a ‘let’s drive through, see all the silos, and then leave’ mentality rather than staying in the towns and discovering all those hidden gems.” Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnerships chairman David Jochinke said

Tourism, Wimmera Development Association and Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership, the campaign is part of the initial phase to help the regional tourism industry recover. One half of Aubrey and Areegra, Mrs Inkster, the Warracknabeal agency’s co-founder, said that the campaign will look at attracting and encouraging

FUNDING BOOST OFFERS LIFELINE TO WIMMERA TOURISM By Chris Michaels

TOURISM operators in the Grampians and Wimmera Mallee region have received a significant boost with a state government funded free listing service on the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse. The ATDW is a digital platform that provides businesses and events with increased online exposure through a listing that appears on tourism platforms visitvictoria.com and australia.com The state Government and Visit Victoria funding is designed to offer a lifeline to struggling tourism operators feeling the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Tourism operators will be able to save themselves the $295 listing fee, and expose their business to thousands of hits on the dedicated grampians website visitgrampians. com, which had more than 1.5 million page views alone in 2019. Grampians Tourism CEO Marc Sleeman

that the campaign had come at an important time. “Our region offers many wonderful experiences and this campaign encourages local people to unearth the amazing that lies within the Wimmera and southern Mallee,” he said. “When they share those amazing experiences with their family and friends, it has flowon benefits for communities and businesses, and creates more tourism opportunities long-term. That’s a win for everyone. “It’s important we gain the support of locals as the tourism industry rebounds from the impacts of the coronavirus shutdown which we recognise has been difficult for many other industries too.” While the campaign was officially launched in November 2019, the project has begun advertising on television for two weeks and online for four weeks.

said the advantages of the listing “aren’t just local”. “Businesses will be listed on the visitvictoria.com website and the australia. com website,” he said. “I encourage everyone to get onboard.” Mr Sleeman said the Grampians region was well placed to see an increase in tourism after the difficulties related to the coronavirus because of the nature of the region. “Our advantage is people will be wanting wide open spaces and a place to really breathe,” he said. “We have nature and the outdoors and operators will be well positioned to capitalise.” Mr Sleeman is confident that tourism in the Grampians region will see a “strong rebound”. “This is a genuine opportunity to profile their business,” he said. ”We’ve been very fortunate to secure the extra funding.”

PUBLIC NOTICE

Mallee podcasts share livestock and paddock tips AGRICULTURE Victoria has produced a new podcast series focusing on livestock and land management in the Mallee. The new podcasts, hosted on the Mallee Sustainable Farming website, provide timely information for Mallee farmers through the winter months. Now available to download ‘Grazing Cereals with Daniel Schuppan’ talks through the potential for establishing groundcover to fill an early feed gap. A livestock consultant with Nutrien Ag Solutions, Daniel has worked with producers from low rainfall pastoral environments for the past 15 years. “The last three years have been particularly testing times and the majority of my time has been taken up preparing feed budgets for producers who had to confine their stock for, in some cases, six to eight months or more,” he said. Throughout the 15-minute podcast, Daniel talks through the importance of having a written strategic plan that has flexibility to allow producers to “weave their way” through the seasonal variations. “I know most of you will have it in your head, but I do encourage you to have a written plan and to make it available to everybody in

the business. That way everyone has direction and knows which way they’re headed going forward.” Next week, Agriculture Victoria Land Management Development Officer Rebecca Mitchell will be discussing how Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) can directly benefit Mallee farmers and share some innovative examples of how it has been adopted. Also in production and ready to be released weekly throughout the coming winter months, will be: Feed testing – with Agriculture Victoria Livestock Extension Officer Erica Schelfhorst Marketing cattle – with Agriculture Victoria Livestock Extension Officer Greg Ferrier Weaning livestock – with Agriculture Victoria Lamb Industry Development Officer Nick Linden Cutting crops for hay – with Agriculture Victoria Grains Regional Manager Tony Fay Risky Weeds – with District Veterinary Officer Jeff Cave. The podcasts are delivered by Agriculture Victoria with funding from the Victorian Government’s 2019-20 Drought Support Package and can be downloaded at https:// msfp.org.au/

AMCAL HERE TO HELP

IF you often struggle to get a good night’s sleep, are constantly fatigued through the day or snore regularly, then maybe you have sleep apnoea. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition that is caused by partial or complete obstruction of the throat during sleep. These obstructions can reduce or stop breathing for short periods of time during sleep (many times throughout the night)- which disrupt normal sleep patterns. Some people actually completely wake during the night gasping or choking for air. Symptoms are often noticed by a person’s sleeping partner. Common symptoms include: loud snoring, feeling unrefreshed upon waking, daytime tiredness and fatigue, poor concentration, irritability, and frequent night-time toilet visits. Risk factors for sleep apnoea include: obesity, large neck circumference, and middleaged to elderly people. Men have a higher incidence of OSA. Horsham Amcal Pharmacy has highly trained sleep apnoea and CPAP consultants available for appointments. COVID-19 restrictions saw a halt in sleep apnoea consults, but we are back in business once more. Angela and Melissa are once again taking appointments for all sleep apnoea services. Offering: • Convenience of in-home sleep testing • CPAP machine trials • New machine and mask sales/fittings • Sales of spare parts and accessories • Data card reading and reporting • Clean and check services. If you would like to know more about sleep apnoea services at Horsham Amcal Pharmacy, contact the team on (03) 53821019 for more information. Appointments are essential. Don’t ignore the symptoms, enquire today.

NIGHT OF FIRSTS FOR HORSHAM TRAINER

MARK Anstice and a group of mates, who are underground miners in Bendigo, notched a night of firsts on Tuesday when Shift Change won race two at Horsham Greyhound Racing Club, a maiden over 410m. The win was Anstice’s first as a trainer since returning to Horsham from Western Australia and for three of the members of the Mad Miners Syndicate it was also their first taste of success as owners. Unfortunately, with COVID restrictions being in place they were unable to witness firsthand the win, but by all accounts, they nearly raised the roof of their local hotel in Bendigo as Shift Change crossed the line. It was the fawn dog’s second career start after finishing second last week and given the early speed the son of Cosmic Rumble showed there will no doubt be more wins in store with natural improvement. Shift Change’s win came hot on the heels (or paws) of Brazen King who saluted for Jeff Guy in race one. Guy trains from Wartook just south of Horsham, at the foothills of the Grampians and Brazen King is one quite a few dogs Guy bred himself and races with Garry Harding and they are now starting to return dividends with Brazen King being the fourth win at Horsham, in addition to several others around

Western Victoria. Numinous added to Guy’s total in race 10, an event for greyhounds with 1-3 wins over 410m proving too strong for Heather Baxter’s (Murtoa) Weblec Bliss in recording a smart 23.48 secs. The win was Second from his last three and is finding some consistency in his races. It wouldn’t be a Horsham meeting without a win by Cliff and Pat Smith (Wonwondah) and Tuesday they had to wait until the penultimate event to score a win with Smarty Pants winning by the barest of margins in a bobbing finish with the entire field finishing bunched together with only four lengths separating first and last. Horsham race again on Friday and plenty of Wimmera greyhounds are going around including Guy’s winners from Tuesday on the quick back up. One to follow may be Garry George’s Startron who wasn’t disgraced in a red hot field at Ballarat last start and should strip fitter and appreciate the return to this grade of race. Startron lines up in race 10 at 6.07pm from box six and gets an empty box on his inside due to only seven runners. Justin Brilliant, Horsham Greyhound Racing Club Manager

THE first round of the Horsham Golf Club Ladies Club Championships, sponsored by Latus Jewellers, was played on Thursday March 19, just prior to the lockdown restrictions due to the coronavirus. We are pleased to report that

the next three rounds of our championships have now been played on Tuesday June 23, Thursday June 25 and our final will be on Tuesday June 30. Due to the time lapse between our first championship round, our Match Committee decided that for this year only, the best three scores of the four rounds will determine

the winners in each Grade. This will enable players who were unable to play in the first round played on March 19, to participate in the championships, whilst at the same time allowing the players who did play in the first round to have their scores applied to their overall best three of four game scores.

STAWELL READY TO HIT THE PITCH

• The Stawell Pioneers Soccer Club showcase their new uniforms ready for the 2020 season restart. Juniors from left Noah Lyons, Jack Sirre, Justin Sirre, Isaac Potter, Blaze Omernik and Bronson Potter don the sleek new uniforms.

“While we are still in early talks, with another meeting due at the start of July, we expect our junior competition to return a week or two earlier than the seniors, all depending on the advice we receive.” “As for the seniors, we are working with supplying a 10 week, shortened season starting in mid July.” The Stawell club is also in talks to create a summer soccer competition, which will aim to run between October and December. “We’re really keen on the idea for a summer competition, with a focus on involving teams from all across the region, including Hamilton, Horsham and Ararat,” Oosthuizen said. “The format is looking to be a ‘7s’ format, with seven players a side, and we will encourage teams from all across the Wimmera area to sign up.” “Involving teams from other sporting codes would be a really great addition, and we would be

open to teams from other codes, such as footy, to put in a team or two from their communities.” The Stawell Soccer Club resumed training three weeks ago, with the club strictly adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines. “We have started our non-contact training with a big focus on player safety. We conduct temperature checks on the players before each training, and we regularly sanitise our equipment,” Oosthuizen said. The club has recently received their new uniforms for the 2020 season, and the players are keen to don their colours and get back out onto the pitch. “We encourage anyone who wants to participate to come along to our training and try out our game, and if you’re keen to join the team please come down and register to play,” Oosthuizen said. The Stawell Soccer Club trains at the North Park pitch in Stawell and registrations for the season are now open to both juniors and seniors.

Hockey axes 2020 competition By Connor McKenzie

AFTER a meeting on Wednesday night, the Wimmera Hockey Association has made their call on its future in 2020, canceling the season for this year. The Wimmera Hockey Association executives met on Wednesday night to discuss and decide on whether clubs will play in a shortened hockey season in 2020. After the meeting, the Wimmera Hockey Association decided to scrap the 2020 season, and preserve the competition ready for next year. In a press statement released on Thursday morning, WHA has announced that all levels of competition for 2020 will not go ahead. “In the interests of the health and safety of all our volunteers, members, and supporters, in consultation with our member clubs, the Wimmera Hockey Association executive has decided to cancel our 2020 winter season for all levels of

THE Stawell Soccer Club is busily preparing their plan back to soccer action, as the club looks to resume competition as early as mid July. After a meeting held on the evening of June 17, officials at the Stawell club began their preliminary discussions as the club prepared to resume their competitions. After the meeting, the working dates for the competition restart are July 12 for the juniors and July 26 for the seniors.

Stawell Soccer Club president Jason Oosthuizen said the discussions to resume play went well, and all members and officials are committed to bringing a safe and fun competition for all their juniors and seniors. “We held our meeting on Wednesday night, discussing key points from the guidelines that Football Victoria have been relaying to us,” Oosthuizen said. “The club has been in discussion with Football Victoria and the state authorities, but we can expect play to begin as early as mid July.”

competition,” the statement read. “With the uncertainty as to where restrictions may go over the coming weeks, we do not consider it appropriate to expect our volunteers to put in the work required to prepare for a season that may not go ahead, and we do not wish to put them or our other participants and supporters at any health risk.” The Wimmera Hockey Association conceded that the restrictions in place by the state government are inhibiting the important social aspects of the players and members’ involvement at their clubs and in the competition, which is one of the most important characteristics of the WHA’s competition. “This decision gives some certainty to all those who may have been involved, and they can now focus on remaining fit and healthy and look forward to working with us to make the 2021 season all the better, to compensate for being unable to participate in their favourite sport this year,” the statement concluded.

WFL and WNA cancel 2020 season WIMMERA Football League and Netball Association commissions have this week decided to cancel the 2020 season. With the COVID-19 pandemic still causing uncertainty in the future of many local and regional sporting leagues, the WFL and WNA are the latest in the state to pull the pin on their seasons and turn focus to sustaining the league until 2021. After the commissions met mid last week to discuss the future of the season, ofﬁcials signalled their intentions to wait out the weekend in the hope of restrictions easing. However, as Victoria deals with an increase in COVID-19 cases, the leagues decided the safety of all involved in the WFL and WNA was a priority.

“The major concerns expressed by all stakeholders was the inability to have crowds attend the scheduled games, in light of the announcements by the state government to reinstate some restrictions. Both the WFL and WNA could not see crowds returning to their venues in the allocated time frame,” the WFL and WNA said in a statement. “The burden placed on volunteers, the inability to effectively manage crowds to comply with the state government restrictions, health concerns with COVID-19 and varying ﬁnancial implications were also major factors in the decision.” The WFL and WNA will follow alongside the Horsham District Football and Netball League in turning their attention towards developing a structure for junior netballers and footballers to still compete in 2020.

AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon said the decision was disappointing, but important in order to sustain both the leagues and safety of all players and members. “After our meeting last Wednesday there was a sense of optimism,” Mr Muldoon said. “There were obviously some clubs that were hesitant to play in 2020. However, we had a core group of clubs that were enthusiastic, and we were conﬁdent that we could have some 2020 structure for both netball and football. “Unfortunately the state government’s announcement to hold some restrictions in place over the weekend due to an increase in COVID-19 cases did not help. “The inability to have very little or no crowds at our matches was a

catching point for some clubs, and rightly so.” The commission set a meeting for Wednesday this week, however after the state government’s restriction announcements over the weekend the leagues moved the meeting up to the start of the week. “As a league the time frame the state government has set out for a return to crowds is unclear and unsustainable, so the ﬁnal decision was unanimous,” Muldoon said. Wimmera Netball Association commissioner Toni Stewart shared Muldoon’s hope for a 2020 competition, but said the season would be too much of a challenge. “We too had netball clubs that were hesitant to compete, but we owed it to the clubs who were still interested to explore all options that were available to us,” Stewart said.

“In the end it wasn’t fair to players, coaches and volunteers to drag out the decision.” Stewart said it was too early to categorise what a junior competition may look like, but said the commission was dedicated to exploring all options for the leagues’ young players. “At the moment we have asked clubs to gather information about junior interest in their communities,” Stewart said. “We are committed to giving our juniors a competition, as long as it’s viable and of course safe for our players to participate.” The commission will now work closely with AFL Victoria, Netball Victoria and all nine clubs in the league to manage the associated issues stemming from the cancellation of the senior competitions.
