Horsham hub push R

BY DEAN LAWSON

egional development advocates believe Horsham is the perfect Victorian base for one of eight agricultural innovation hubs planned for regional Australia.

They are confident the Wimmera centre and broader grain belt already have operational and planning templates that fit neatly into an $86-million Federal Government push to establish research and adoption centres.

They made the declaration in response to Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud announcing government plans to establish the national hubs through a Future Drought Fund.

He said the hubs would be in region-

al areas reflecting key agricultural and climatic zones across the country.

One of the hubs was earmarked for regional Victoria.

“Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs will support networks of researchers, farmers, agricultural businesses and community groups to enhance drought resilience practice, tools and technology,” Mr Littleproud said.

“The hubs will also break down ‘silos’ and provide a physical location where researchers and the community can come together to develop ideas that build drought resilience.

“The end result will see a range of enduring institutions that cement partnerships among key organisations.”

Community leaders identified opportunities stemming from an agriculture-

industry hub in Horsham while attending a Regional Development Victoria Regional Partnership program launch four years ago.

Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership conceived a Victorian Networked Grains Centre of Excellence, which has since evolved into a structured Victorian Grains Innovation Hub project.

Wimmera partnership deputy chair Cathy Tischler said considerable research, analysis and business-case development dating back to 2016 had established Horsham as an ideal centre for a state agricultural hub.

“Horsham has a lot of natural synergy – we have a lot of the foundations here already,” she said.

“We already have major innovation projects underway at Grains Innova-

tion Park and Longerenong College and of course Horsham is also the primary centre of one of the richest grain-growing areas in southeast Australia.

“The Federal Government has only one hub earmarked for Victoria and the Wimmera-southern Mallee is the obvious area this should happen.

“Much of what the government requires to make this successful is already here.”

Ms Tischler said product valueadding was a key aspect of the hubdevelopment concept.

“We already have the public and private infrastructure and investment here or in development and we can strongly deliver on the government’s requirements,” she said.

“Much of the groundwork has been

done and it wouldn’t take us long to scale up.

“Industry hubs are a great idea. They provide opportunities for organisations to come together and allow for economies of scale, greater collaboration and innovation.

“It will naturally help consolidate agricultural development, progress and critically, resilience.

“The Wimmera already has strong connectivity but this has the potential to take it to a higher level.

“We’re confident we already have a growing model in place that meets all the needs presented by the Federal Government proposal. We want the Victorian hub here.”

Horsham hub push From page 1 The Federal Government expects a competitive process to establish hub sites and a regional university to lead the program to open next month.

Mr Littleproud has also announced a new Digital Foundations for Agriculture Strategy to ‘set the foundations for widespread uptake of digital technology across agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries’.

“We know that digital technologies and agtech will drive the next wave of growth for the sector,” he said.

“In fact, the Australian Farm Institute estimates full adoption of digital tools by the agriculture sector could boost productivity by about $20.3-billion each year.

“We will also develop a National Agricultural Innovation Policy Statement to position the sector to reap the benefits of innovation.”

Longerenong College is already busy developing its $2.54-million AgTIDE Demonstration of Agricultural Technology Applications, DATA, Farm project.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster welcomed the funding for hubs to drive research and innovation into drought and agriculture.

“The Wimmera-Mallee is well placed to provide leadership in the way Australia manages and responds to drought, with world-leading research into dryland farming happening on the ground already,” she said.

“We have a perfect region to establish an adoption and innovation hub to further drive agricultural research.”

Regions targeted for the hubs are: Southern New South Wales; southern Queensland-northern NSW; southwest Western Australia; northern Australia-NT-WA; tropical North Queensland; South Australia; Tasmania.

Keep testing to help recovery A

Wimmera health leader has spoken of a need for symptomatic people across the region to continue COVID-19 testing in efforts to ease restrictions.

Wimmera Health Care Group Medical Services acting director Dr John Gallichio, in response to the State Government’s roadmap out of the pandemic, said it remained ‘very’ important for people who felt unwell or had the mildest of cold symptoms to get a COVID-19 test.

“Everyone in our region has done exceptionally well so far in keeping our numbers very low,” he said.

“We all need to continue to physically distance, use hand sanitiser, wear our masks properly when in public and not travel unless essential – these rules all remain the same.

“We want to demonstrate to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Premier that COVID-19 is so low here that we are safe.

“We can do that by showing we are diligent in being tested and with those tests being negative.

“If we want restrictions to be lifted and most importantly not extended any further, then this is the path for us to follow.”

The health group’s Horsham Covid Assessment Clinic in Read Street is

testing an average of 20 people a day for the virus.

From 11.59pm Sunday, Wimmera-Mallee and Western District people will join other regional Victorians in the roadmap’s ‘second step’, which represents a marginally different version of stage-three restrictions.

Critically, regional Victoria will be able to move to step three of the roadmap and a lifting of some restrictions when data across the regions shows a 14-day average of fewer than five new cases a day and a 14-day recording of zero cases with an unknown source.

Moving to the next phase applies to all regional areas meeting the conditions, although Premier Daniel Andrews suggested a ‘Geelong corridor’ might have different rules if it struggled to match other regions.

Mr Andrews said in his statement on Sunday: “If we go too far too soon, the modelling tells us we’d be on track for a third wave by mid-November.

“That’d mean we’re back to where we are now, maybe even worse. Days, weeks, months of sacrifice – gone.

Confidence for business – destroyed.

More families suffering. More lives lost. It’s why it’s got to be done in safe, steady and sustainable steps.”

Step-two rules in regional Victoria involve changes for students and onsite learning.

Students in all year levels will continue remote and flexible learning for the rest of term three and for the first week of term four. Schools can start a ‘staged’ return to on-site learning for all levels from October 12.

Victorian Certificate of Education and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning students across the state can return for the start of term four on October 5 for school-based assessments and exams, including a General Achievement Test on October 7.

Call for alternative plan

The State Government’s roadmaps have attracted everything from fierce or desperate criticism, particularly from business groups and businesses heavily impacted by extended restrictions, to quiet acceptance. In the regions it has prompted a call for alternative planning.

Rural Councils Victoria, representing 37 of the state’s 79 municipal councils and geographically covering almost 80 percent of Victoria, has called on the State Government to immediately ease stage-three lockdowns in rural communities where no COVID-19 was circulating.

RCV chair Mary-Ann Brown said there was a need for more ‘nuance’ in managing the roadmap in rural shires.

“We are asking the government to

have a response that is proportionate to the risk and is guided by the data,” she said.

“The data shows us that large swathes of rural and regional Victoria have no recorded cases of COVID-19.

“It is imperative the government starts to see regional Victoria for what it is – a very large and diverse series of rural and regional areas. In rural and regional Victoria one size cannot fit all because of the sheer size of the state. It is more than 1000 kilometres from Mildura to Mallacoota.”

Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster slammed the State Government, describing a decision to class the entirety of regional Victoria into one group as ‘beyond belief’.

“We are being treated as nothing more than an afterthought,” she said.

“To put all of regional Victoria’s diverse communities into one basket is ridiculous. It is no better than making our roadmap the same as Melbourne.

“Parts of Mallee have had zero cases for four months, while other parts have never had a case. These areas have already met ‘trigger points’ for step three of the Andrews government’s new roadmap, but will be held back by other areas such as Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo. The fact we are all considered a single unit is not fair or reasonable.”

Festival inspires global arts A Stawell-based street artist has united art lovers from across the globe through a virtual festival sparked by COVID-19 lockdowns.

Peter Voice and fellow Chalk Circle artist Bev Isaac invited creative entries for a week-long Stawell International LOCK-DOWN Street Art Festival, which ran from September 1 to 6.

The virtual festival aimed to encourage people of all artistic abilities – domestically and internationally – to share their creative works in a Facebook group featuring more than 450 artists and fans.

Mr Voice, a touring artist for more than 30 years, said he wanted to encourage people to explore their inner artists during an extended lockdown period in Victoria.

“Three weeks ago, I fielded the idea to major festivals I had been invited to in the past in England, France, Mexico and the US, and within 72 hours we had 100 artists from around the world,” he said.

“Now we’ve got people from more than 25 countries – we’ve got artists from right across Australia and places like Pakistan, Croatia, New Zealand,

Turkey, France, North America, Africa and Peru.”

Mr Voice said it was inspiring to see such a large volume of Wimmera residents eager to be involved.

“The enthusiasm of people around Stawell has really surprised me – I designed this festival in a way that everybody can have a go and have their work alongside some of the world’s best,” he said.

“What I hoped for, but didn’t expect, was everyday mums and dads embracing it, which has been delightful.

“To be honest, I don’t think I’ve smiled this much in the past year as I have in the past week.”

Although the festival officially finished on Sunday, the Facebook page remains open for viewing and contributions.

“It’s ephemeral. Street art is meant to be short-lived and a challenge, but a lot more fun,” Mr Voice said.

“It doesn’t cost anything, chalk is cheap. It’s just a matter of being creative and trying something silly.”

Trish Mitchell, along with granddaughters Ayva and Milla Mitchell, contributed their own piece entitled

Regional snapshot Regional Victorian rules to come in on Monday include – • People must continue to only leave home for school or work, if these cannot be done from home, care or caregiving, to buy essentials and exercise.

After creating them, Mrs Mitchell realised they looked like some of the pictures she had seen referencing the coronavirus. Ayva and Milla added a colourful chalk-art instalment on the pavement to complement the balls.

“We decided they looked like the COVID-19 virus spores all poking

out, but they were colourful, so we called it the Anti-virus sending good vibes rather than bad,” Mrs Mitchell said.

She said the art festival created an artistic outlet for her grand-daughters during the remote learning period.

“There’s not much at all in the community at the moment – our girls are normally involved in sport, football,

netball, cricket, but they still can’t go and do those now,” she said.

“They’re only 11 and eight but they’re very active kids – they got out there and did something they normally wouldn’t do.

“It just gives a perspective of what we can do to brighten someone’s day if they walked by.”

Communities champion renewables S

BY DYLAN DE JONG

mall-scale and community-led renewable-energy projects are helping rural Wimmera communities offset carbon and push closer to net-zero emissions.

Bordertown-based renewable-energy company Vibe Energy has approval to build a five-megawatt solar farm on agricultural land near Nhill.

The farm will have the capability of producing the equivalent amount of electricity to power the west Wimmera town.

At the same time, a community-led Natimuk Solar Project viability study has Natimuk a step closer to a greener future.

Leaders behind the projects believe progression in their plans mark a small, but crucial step forward in helping Australia meet its net-zero emissions targets.

Vibe Energy director and owner

Dean Panos said plans were to build multiple smaller-scale projects along the major trade routes in Victoria and South Australia.

He said his company was exploring the potential to use the sites as solar fast-charging and hydrogen fuel stations.

“Being on a major freight route between Melbourne and Adelaide, we see these regional areas as great potential to establish refuel points for heavy vehicles or even passenger vehicles,” he said.

“We want to have multiple revenue streams off the one connection point.”

Mr Panos said his company had a preference to install solar farms with a capacity of fewer than five megawatts.

Mr Panos said rural electricity network provider Powercor was more likely to approve smaller-scale projects, such as at Nhill, under its pre-approval requirements faster than larger projects.

“The Nhill project sailed through the Powercor connection requirements and also went through to Department of Environment quite quickly as well,” he said.

“We see size as lower risk for us, but also a sensible approach – we’ve tried to size it based on what the local area can facilitate.

“And to do it with the existing grid infrastructure that’s in place, this is how we’ve tackled it, instead of trying to make a power station.”

Mr Panos said this ‘streamlined’ process would allow his company to establish more small-scale projects across western Victoria.

Natimuk project

Natimuk community is aiming to buck a national trend in its plans to transition to 100-percent renewable energy.

connection studies, develop detailed design and operational plans and develop a financial model and market prospects to attract investment for the construction phase.

NCE plans to seek a power-purchase agreement that would allow the project to advance to an investment stage and start an operational plan by 2021.

Ms Grubb said a key part of the plan was to seek investment that aimed for a minimum of 51 percent community ownership of the total project cost.

“A big part of the success of the project is local support,” she said.

“The last phase of this project will be around how the community wants to see a solar farm run for the benefit of the community and what sort of stakeholder ownership it wants.”

Ms Grubb said if successful, the project would set a precedent for other communities seeking to take ownership of their energy generation.

Murra Warra job opportunities

Next step in college build Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College is more than halfway through building its secondary college, with construction starting on the second and final stage.

The build is part of a seven-year plan that started in 2013, adding to an existing 40-year-old primary school.

School leaders expect May 2021 as the completion date for the project that includes building additional classrooms, an indoor gymnasium, a sport science area and a science lab.

Principal Daniel Weller said during the seven years of development the school had grown considerably.

“The school has grown immensely in its buildings, programs and student and teacher numbers,” he said.

Grubb said her group would send a planning application for a potential site to Horsham Rural City Council for assessment.

She said an application would also go to Powercor to determine whether the proposed community-owned 1.6MW farm would comply with pre-approval requirements.

“That could be a stop-point for the project if the grid infrastructure out here doesn’t allow what we are looking to achieve,” she said.

“The ultimate goal of this project is to de-risk it to a point where we can seek investment to build and demonstrate its viability with Powercor.”

The community-driven solar farm would produce the equivalent of the town’s annual energy needs, equating to about 2000 tonnes of eliminated carbon-dioxide emissions a year.

Last year the State Government provided the project with $339,000 to finalise the necessary approvals,

Since the secondary college opened in 2014, student numbers have grown from a small cohort to more than 200 today.

Mr Weller said expanding the secondary college would open a slew of targeted learning opportunities for primary and secondary students.

“The design, functionality and the way that we use these spaces can be adapted to various types of learning,” he said.

“We aim to ensure facilities can be used in multiple ways to support the learning and growth for each individual all the way from prep through to year 12.”

Ongoing development of the college into a P-12 school gained momentum in December last year following a $2-million State Government

Wimmera contractors and service providers can contribute to the 38-turbine Murra Warra Wind Farm second stage, scheduled to start next month.

The project will provide more than 400 jobs across a two-year construction period, with ongoing employment opportunities.

Wimmera Development Association has partnered with RES, GE and Zenviron to host an online pre-construction information webinar at 10am tomorrow.

GE and Zenviron representatives will discuss the project and highlight opportunities for contractors and service providers to be involved.

funding injection. The Trinity Drive college is using the money as part of a $3.3-million stage-two development of its senior campus.

Mr Weller said the expansion would allow teachers to build on learning programs that supported students into their chosen career paths.

“Our philosophy is we don’t fit students into programs, we have programs for students,” he said.

“The growth of the school in its facilities provides students with further opportunities to grow and develop, but it also gives senior students a mature environment where they can take ownership of their learning, whether that’s VCAL or VCE – it is important.”

– Dylan De Jong

manager Mark Fletcher said the project would have significant economic impact on the region, with service, hospitality and real estate and accommodation sectors in the box seat to take advantage of an 18-month construction phase.

Mr Fletcher said businesses with services to offer were welcome to attend the webinar and people could register interest via info@wda. org.au.

“Part of the registration process will ask for questions from businesses. Participants are encouraged to ask questions on registration so that answer can be shared at the event,” he said.

He said businesses unable to attend the webinar could access a recording.

Maybe next year...

I

t is obviously hard to single out which type of people the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the hardest.

It is killing or accelerating death in some of our most vulnerable and the need for strict isolation guidelines is placing an enormous strain on families, children, business owners and others.

There is another particular group of people also being hit hard, in a variety of ways. It is also a group fundamental to society working its way out of the pandemic and into the eventual recovery process – young single adults.

We need only think back to years of when we were in our late teens or 20s and how we were thinking then and what was important or driving us to understand how frustrating and awkward the circumstances.

Okay, okay, before us weathered old coots start with the ‘they just need to toughen up a bit’ or ‘they don’t know what tough is’ type of comments, we must remember this is a naturally impressionable, often ignorant but clever, sometimes arrogant and, critically, hormone-driven group.

They are also the people who have freshly emerged from the world of childhood and schooling and are keen to start or continue the exploration of the rest of their lives.

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson

The one thing most in this age group usually crave is the company of others – the one thing in the pandemic authorities have stressed we must avoid. Bang! An immediate red flag.

Gatherings of young women and men, through sporting, holiday, party, event and workplace activities, are traditionally an important and often overlooked part of community social development.

They foster relationships, friendships, networks, associations and all sorts of opportunities that ultimately stimulate socio-economic health progress.

As a sample of collective humanity, they are also a spreading hotbed, from everything from good cheer and solidarity to anxiety and disease.

Opportunities for young love to flourish have in particular copped a battering in the past six months.

Lockdown circumstances are okay for established couples because under rules partners can visit each other.

But what about single young adults yearning to look beyond online dating

Board appointed

sites to find and meet a boyfriend or girlfriend face-to-face?

Sure, it sounds like a basic case of tough luck they are just going to have to accept, for the time being at least. Reality suggests the dilemma is a bit more important than that.

Let’s not forget the hormonal drive that fuels young adults, and others for that matter.

The drive to find or consolidate a relationship with that ‘right’ person can be very strong and during a pandemic, potentially dangerous. In fact the scenario presents an obvious red flag for authorities trying to keep the pandemic in check.

Even arrangements between established couples can be problematic if the relationship is distant and involves partners, who might only catch up occasionally, mingling with different communities.

We have all had to modify our day-today lives and the dilemma confronting young adults is just one of many awkward situations we face in tentative steps towards the future.

All we can do as community elders is feel for our up-and-comers, provide guidance and direction, set examples and hope they, and everyone else of course, can be mature enough to avoid unnecessary risks.

Patience at the moment is much more than a virtue.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The communist way

SIR, – I would like to highlight that the type of control to manage this pandemic comes from China, shown on television worldwide.

They isolated everyone and closed factories, shops and businesses.

‘Controlling everyone in the community’ is the communist way of doing things.

My experience in the past from a young age in the Netherlands was: Isolate the sick people – families. There was a pamphlet on the window and front door from local government informing people of the risk of the disease until it was no longer.

So everyone knew who they were – visitors did not enter and neighbours and the whole street knew. Kids did not play together and deliveries were left at the door.

Yet, life went on, as normal, with businesses and factories open.

People could get together and lean on each other, not being isolated and getting depressed as is now the situation – they went to a live performance and danced and sang along.

Now, we do not know who is sick because of privacy reasons.

Instead, the whole community is isolated from each other, businesses are closed, travelling prohibited or restricted, the economy destroyed.

In this way, everyone is controlled by

the government, the communist way. The whole fabric of society is destroyed.

People need handouts to survive instead of being able to earn an income.

People become dependent on the government instead of being able to realise his or her own destiny.

Please, people, open up your eyes, we have come under a communist type of control. Vote the current government out, be in charge of your own destiny and have a healthy, happy lifestyle.

Astrid Maria van den Akker-Luttmer Warracknabeal

Be vigilant

SIR, – Who doesn’t love a magician?

Think of David Copperfield, unimaginable sights before our eyes! And the grifters, while we focus on the little ball, they manage to ‘disappear’ our watch, wallet and dignity.

Horsham Rural City Council it now seems is equally capable of ‘sleight of hand’ taking our democratic process, transparency and for me, any faith in the councillors.

The new Local Government Act 2020 has meant revised policies are required. At the last HRCC meeting, one of the most important documents was passed – Governance Rules. This document was open for public comment. What, you didn’t even know that?

Hopper Electrics

Unlike the budget or river activation project there was no website banner or Facebook posts. Not even its own item in ‘have your say’, just the whole Act, looking just like housekeeping to bring the policies ‘in line’. So, while our focus was directed towards one change, the other hand was tinkering with policy that controls the democratic process.

Is it really that bad? Well, the State Government released a draft form of the policy, but our council wanted a greatly different policy. A key changes summary was provided by the council, but with no reference to the draft and many changes were not required by the Act. These, the most damaging – time limits to hinder a considered decision; controls on public questions; limitations on debate; requirements that councillors effectively ‘collude’ outside meetings.

What needs to be done? With terrible public opinion, increasing expenditure and no transparency, we need to stop being complacent about council and be vigilant of who we vote in.

We guide the councillors; they govern and direct the chief executive – not the other way around. Otherwise before we know it the rubber ball is the illusion and all the cups will be empty.

A new-look management board is overseeing Rural Northwest Health.

Board chairwoman Julia Hausler said the board was delighted with the return of Carolyn Morcom for a further 12 months and the ‘excellent diversity of skills’ provided by the four incoming new directors – David Kranz, Dr Zivit Inbar, Michael Brown and Veena Mishra.

She said the board was now looking forward to implementing a new strategic plan during the next 12 months, continuing with COVID-19 preparedness, partnering with La Trobe University’s Violet Vines Marshman Centre for Rural Health Research to complete a rural-focused oral-health study and progressing the health service with quality care.

During a July meeting members reappointed Ms Hausler as chair and placed Dr John Aitken in the role of deputy.

Health service chief executive Kevin Mills said he received ‘great’ support from a highly-skilled board.

“I am excited by the new appointments, who complement the skill mix and diversity of our board and RNH will benefit greatly from their experience,” he said.

“We continue to balance our COVID-19 response with delivering essential services and planning for our future.”

Warracknabeal-born Mr Kranz lived and worked on his family farm at Ailsa until he was 19 when he shifted to Melbourne.

He worked for Mobil Oil for 42 years before moving back to Warracknabeal in 2019.

Dr Inbar, who grew up in a kibbutz in Israel, is founder and chief executive of DifferenThinking, a consulting practice that specialises in people, culture, leadership and performance strategies for growth.

Mr Brown comes from a finance, investment and corporate advisory background and has a solid grounding in governance, strategy, risk, financial analytics and board processes. He has board experience, including a previous role as chairman of an ASX-listed public company in the healthcare sector.

Ms Mishra has experience in health, disability and primary healthcare and is a co-founder of a health promotion company.

New leader for ratepayer group

A CRISIS OUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR VIOLENCE IN HERE. THERE'S NO PLACE FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse or domestic violence, help is here. Get free, confidential online and phone advice and counselling for women and men. 24/7.

Terry O’Donnell of Jung is Horsham Ratepayers and Residents Association’s new president.

Mr O’Donnell takes the chair after a decision by previous group leader Di Bell to run for Horsham Rural City Council.

Mrs Bell said she believed Mr O’Donnell, appointed by the group committee until it could run an annual meeting within COVID-19 restrictions, would bring a different perspective to the role.

Mrs Bell said Mr O’Donnell had been a busy committee member, completing a submission on the council budget, to raise many queries.

She said one of these was why spending for 2019-20 included $411,000 allocated to ‘materials and services less than $100,000’ and $1,517,000 for ‘contracts less than $100,000’ had become $1.06-million, a 158.9 percent increase, and $1.81-million, a 19.4 percent increase, in the 2020-21 budget.

Mrs Bell said chief executive Sunil Bhalla could allocate this spending in any manner without requiring further council endorsement because it was within his approved delegation.

“The committee believes Mr O’Donnell will offer great support and leadership to ratepayers in his role as president and is well aligned with the mission of Horsham Ratepayers and Residents Association to represent community expectations for wellbeing, liveability and rate affordability now and in the future,” she said.

Mrs Bell said the group would continue to scrutinise Horsham Rural City Council on behalf of the community.

She said she believed standing for the council was the ‘ultimate extension and expression of the values I have held as president of HRRR, where I’ve had continual conversations with ratepayers and residents, and worked consistently to represent their views’.

She said the ratepayer group was focused on – • Engaging the public on key strategies and decisions and encouraging informed debate beyond and within the council chamber.

• Being a means for educating, linking and networking, offering information and public meetings to the community.

• Mobilising the community and working with elected council representatives and key council staff, to build trust and strengthen relationships to develop all areas of the community.

• Highlighting areas it believed the council needed to act to benefit all sectors of the Horsham community, not vested sectional interests.

Free storytime packs Northern Grampians Libraries has created takehome packs so shire residents can have a virtual storytime experience at home with their families.

This virtual experience replaces regular storytime sessions at the library, cancelled due to stage-three pandemic restrictions.

The free packs are available for pick up from Stawell and St Arnaud libraries.

The packs are suited to early primary and preschool age children and new packs will come out every first and third Wednesday of the month.

‘Never a better time to run’ C

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ampaign advocate and selfstarter Karly Kirk will stand for Yarriambiack Shire Council in October’s local government elections.

Mrs Kirk announced her intention to contend for a seat in the Warracknabeal ward late last month.

The Warracknabeal born and raised mother of two is keen to see the shire’s economy diversify and plans to bring her advocacy experience to the table.

“I’ve often considered this before – there’s never going to be better time to run,” she said.

“With our new chief executive Jessie Holmes, who is really vibrant and dynamic, I just feel like now would be a good time for me to jump in.

“It’s a council I feel like I could contribute to and be appreciated in.”

In May this year, Mrs Kirk saw the end of a two-year parent-led ‘Finish What You Started’ campaign directed at the State Government that helped shine a light on an unfinished Warracknabeal education precinct.

She became a key advocate for the campaign, where she helped delegate with state representatives and Education Minister James Merlino, which eventually led to a $20-million funding injection.

Mrs Kirk said the knowledge she gained and her ability to network with state authorities would be of major benefit if she was elected as a councillor.

“I realised from my experience with Finish What You Started that you do need a voice at the table representing you and your community,” she said.

“That communication is paramount

– it helps to have someone there with your community’s best interest at heart.

“I feel like I’m in the right spot in my life that I can step up and be that representative.”

Mrs Kirk is the fifth generation of her family to live in Warracknabeal district.

“I moved away when I was 18 and went travelling overseas and I’ve lived in a few different cities,” she said.

“But my family has always been in Yarriambiack Shire – Warracknabeal has always been home.

“It was always my plan to come back to raise my family here when I was ready.”

Karly Kirk

Many hats

Mrs Kirk wears many hats in her professional life, working at PTS Plumbing at Warracknabeal while she runs her micro-business Good Stuff Hamper Co. She also helps manage a monthly Virtual Wimmera Online Market that started in response to COVID-19 to help small and micro Wimmera-Mallee business owners promote their products to people across Australia.

“I could see a real gap – a need for a platform for businesses. One of our goals is to promote businesses around here, but our audience is Australia-wide, which will bring in more revenue,” she said.

Mrs Kirk said her ability to connect with people at a ‘grassroots level’ would help unlock further dialogue between community and the council.

“There’s many things that people can feel not represented by. I feel like I can represent an ordinary person.

I’m a country mum who lives in a

country town,” she said. “People need someone who can represent them, and someone they know they can come to with their worries.

“A lack of diversity leads to large chunks of the population feeling unheard and unseen. It can lead to feeling of divisions that then flows on and delays progress.”

Mrs Kirk said she was particularly passionate about diversifying the regional economy to explore and expand on multiple different industries such as tourism and the arts.

“I would like to see a diversification of local economies. We’re very reliant on agriculture, but I feel like with the way technology is progressing, there’s no excuse for not branching out,” she said.

“If someone has an interest or talent, whether that’s science, acting, singing

or anything at all, I would be very interested in finding resources to help build them up and create a culture where that is embraced and supported.

“I’m also excited by what is happening in tourism. I will definitely be supporting that and pushing that as well.”

Mrs Kirk said she was eager to enter into a role where she could help strengthen her community.

“What I feel is most important, is not to enter into council with your own agenda locked down. I’m open to and looking forward to hearing what the community feels is important,” she said.

“Balance between experience, knowledge and some fresh eyes would be really valuable.

“I make no pretence that I know all the answers, but I would definitely come in and ask a lot of questions.”

Farm group urges rethink Victorian farmers’ peak body is calling on the State Government to change a restart roadmap for the meat-processing industry.

Victorian Farmers Federation wants the government to open the industry where safe to do so.

VFF president and Wimmera farmer David Jochinke said the organisation was concerned about a hard approach to the meat-processing sector.

“Our message on abattoirs hasn’t changed and we are in lockstep with the meat-processing sector on this: we need to return to at least 80 percent processing capacity as soon as possible,” he said.

“The current proposal for all metropolitan and regional meat-processing facilities to remain highly restricted until at least November 23 is simply not workable.

“If we don’t get to 80 percent soon there will be lambs that cannot get processed, limited capacity to process grass-fed beef and continued uncertainty in the pork and poultry industries that are already operating on a knife edge.

“The risk to animal welfare is just unpalatable. Add to that the potential impact on markets and the current proposal will be disastrous for industry and the food supply chain.”

Mr Jochinke said the VFF would like to see regional differences recognised in the pathway out of restrictions for regional Victoria.

“Where there are no COVID-19 cases in regional Victoria we think a common-sense, risk-based approach to the relaxation of restrictions is appropriate,” he said.

Leaders prompt important question

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

A

sking someone if they are okay is not always easy – but it could save a life.

Tomorrow is R U OK?Day and Wimmera community leaders are urging people to continue looking out for one another throughout the coronavirus pandemic by starting important conversations.

R U OK? is a suicide prevention charity that aims to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with people around them and support anyone struggling with life.

GrainGrowers chairman Brett Hosking said while people in the agricultural industry were fortunate in some ways, because they were used to living in isolated locations, they were still missing their social outlets.

“We do all like to catch up over the fence, at footy or at church or by coming into town for Anzac Day services,” he said.

“We haven’t had the opportunity to do any of that this year.”

Mr Hosking hopes a virtual get-together tomorrow night will help peo-

ple reconnect. He will host GrainGrowers’ R U OK?Day event via Zoom from 6pm to 8pm.

The Naked Farmer, aka Ben Brooksby of St Helens Plains, will be guest speaker.

Mr Brooksby has been using the ‘liberating combination of nudity and farm work’ to spark important conversations about mental health across Australia and beyond.

“I’m really excited about having Ben on board, but I’m not taking my clothes off – that was the one caveat,” Mr Hosking joked.

“Ben is someone who has dealt with his own challenges in his own way and I think it will be good for people to tune in and hear his story. We all have moments when things get on top of us, but they don’t define us.

“With the situation we are in with COVID, opportunities for people to get together are few and far between.

“This is as close as we can get to a get-together at the moment and hopefully people will grab a drink or a bite to eat and tune in. It’s going to be very relaxed and informal.

“We will hear from Ben and people

can jump in and ask questions if they like.”

Mr Hosking said the get-together would also feature information about GrainGrowers’ family support program.

“It’s a wellbeing support service and people can seek help and advice about all sorts of things, from finances to relationships to careers,” he said.

“There is no need for a doctor’s referral, people can just pick up the phone. It might be as simple as one or two phone conversations, or sessions, to nip a problem in the bud.

“We’ve been running the program for staff for some time but now we’re rolling it out to all our members. I think it’s a valuable service.”

The event is free, open to everyone and people can register online at https:// us02web.zoom.us/j/87918475108?pwd=dTRIemg4bTZoQnFaVFRVYXJMR1FUZz09.

Ararat adapts

Ararat Suicide Prevention Awareness Group leaders are also preparing for R U OK?Day. Group member Linda Nyikos said

Horsham coming into bloom Parts of Horsham are becoming a sea of colour as seasonal flower plantations across the Wimmera city come into bloom.

Horsham Rural City Council’s parks and gardens team has been busy preparing the plantations and a taste of spring is starting to unveil the work.

Streetscapes and botanic team leader Ryan Johnstone said his crew had been working hard to keep public gardens looking their best.

“Regardless of the cancellation of events such as the Spring Garden Festival, we know people appreciate seeing lots of colour at this time of the year,” he said.

“Our team is very committed to ensuring the gardens always look their best and try to mix things up by planting a diversity of plants and flowers for the gardens.”

Mr Johnstone said the annual beds would be at their peak display by the end of September and into October.

“The main varieties of annuals to be seen this spring are ‘matilda’ poppies and violas within the botanic gardens,

the COVID-19 pandemic had forced a change in plans, but leaders would adapt to the challenge.

“Normally we have a really big day planned in Ararat, but this year, with the pandemic conditions, we are doing things a bit differently,” she said.

“We will provide merchandise for cafés and other businesses around Ararat, but we are also going to focus on businesses themselves – the people who usually support us for R U OK?Day. “Our poor café owners – like everyone else – are struggling and are doing their best to keep going. So, we want to ask them if they are okay.”

Mrs Nyikos said although pandemic conditions had hit regional businesses hard, the community had rallied around them.

“I think the community has been really supportive – people have been buying takeaway coffees and meals,” she said.

“Businesses such as Ararat RSL and the hotels can’t operate like they used to, so they have been doing takeaway meals as well. Everybody is adapting and doing their best.”

FIVE-DAY forecast

This year’s theme is ‘There’s more to say after R U OK?’.

“There are four steps people can take and we think it’s important to share the steps, because sometimes people don’t know what to do if they ask someone if they are okay, and their answer is, ‘No, not really’,” Mrs Nyikos said.

“Step one is to ask, R U OK? If they say they are not okay, then you can ask them if they want to talk about things. Step two is listen with an open mind and step three is encourage action. You can ask the person if they have spoken with a health professional and give them ideas about things they can do. Step four is to check in and see how they are going. Ask them if things have improved.”

Mrs Nyikos said people could visit the organisation’s website, ruok.org. au, for more information or direct people to phone or online services.

SPLASH OF COLOUR: Horsham Rural City Council parks and gardens staff, from left, Millie Spence, Tim Winfield and Ty Stripp tend to a poppy garden in Horsham Botanic Gardens.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER along with primula obconica, stock and a range of pansies throughout both the gardens and the main streets,” he said.

“Our main focus right now from a maintenance perspective is weed control and maximising the growth of the plants to produce more flowers.

“They have been planted to catch the eye and draw attention to the beds.”

This year the team has chosen a wider range of smaller grow-

ing pansies to fill the beds with more colour.

“Last year all of the beds were planted out to a single colour or variety,” Mr Johnstone said.

“This year we have chosen multiple colours of a single variety to create interest in different beds.

“Recent plantings are progressing well with all plants now growing to a consistent height.”

Extra money for children’s centre

A

$1.115-million expansion of Warracknabeal Children’s Centre has had a major boost with the State Government announcing a funding commitment of $800,000 for the project.

Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the project was one of 13 across Victoria that Education Minister James Merlino had confirmed would share in the first grants round of a $13.8-million Building Blocks program.

She said the money would help in the development of a purpose-built three-year-old kindergarten and community areas for meetings and allied health visits.

“The expansion of the Warracknabeal Children’s Centre will help to boost local jobs and businesses,” she said.

“On top of the $2,394,985 already provided by the Andrews Labor government for early childhood infrastructure in the Lowan electorate, this project will help ensure Warracknabeal families can access three and four-year-old kindergarten for years to come.”

The Building Blocks program is designed to

develop new and improved facilities and access to technology – for three and four-year-old kindergarten providers across Victoria.

Grants are available to municipal governments and not-for-profit organisations providing funded kindergarten programs.

They are part of the government’s $5-billion investment in funded universal three-year-old kindergarten for all Victorian children.

The reform has started in six regional municipalities in 2020, including Yarriambiack Shire.

As part of the roll-out, the government is upgrading infrastructure through a $1.68-billion co-investment with the early-childhood sector to build and expand kindergarten facilities across the state.

“These projects will not only ensure these kinders are ready for the roll out of three-yearold kinder – they will boost regional jobs and local businesses as we rebuild from the economic impacts of coronavirus,” Mr Merlino said.

“We’re delivering unprecedented investment in early-childhood services so our children can get the most out of great local kindergartens and set them up for the future.”

READY TO ENTERTAIN: Horsham singersongwriter Skuzz, pictured, will join Reece Mastin of X-Factor fame for an online concert on Saturday night as part of West Wimmera Shire Council activities to engage youth during COVID-19 restrictions. A question-andanswer session will follow the 7pm to 9pm gig.

Activities for youngsters West Wimmera Shire Council is providing youth with a variety of activities to help stem the boredom of being at home during stage-three COVID-19 restrictions.

During the next couple of weeks leading up to a predicted easing of restrictions, the council will provide activities on most days, posting details on its Youth Services West Wimmera and West Wimmera Shire Council Facebook pages and website.

Activities are open to all children, not exclusive to West Wimmera Shire, to allow a high level of participation.

Until the end of September

there is Kids Art and COVID Poetry competitions, with the view to have an exhibition after restrictions ease.

From noon today there will be a Backyard BarbecueCamp Oven Cook Off, where organisers are encouraging people to bring their best barbecue-camp oven game and enter their photos or videos on social media.

On Saturday, from 7pm to 9pm, there will be an online event featuring Horsham singer-songwriter Skuzz and Reece Mastin of X-Factor fame, who will also be available for a question-and-answer session after the gig.

Youth officer Leah Davies said while she hoped restrictions preventing movement would soon ease, West Wimmera Shire Council would continue to provide activities for young people.

“We extend the invitation to participate far and wide so people from other regions can participate as well,” she said.

“We are all in this together, and if we can’t spend time with others at this time we can at least join forces to stay busy and active during this really difficult time.”

espite stage-three COVID-19 restrictions, many Sunnyside Lutheran Retirement Village residents were still able to celebrate Father’s Day with their loved ones – at a distance.

Activities co-ordinator Charlene Labram said staff had arranged a variety of activities at the weekend to honour the village’s male residents during a ‘difficult time’.

“We knew this year would be a bit tough because of the pandemic and all the restrictions,” she said.

“On Saturday, we had an event for the fellas.

“It was a lovely get-together with a sausage sizzle, some beers and entertainment.

“A few people shared stories of their dads and we also had a lot of the men up and dancing – there were about seven of them ballroom dancing at one stage.

“We also gave them each a present on the Sunday morning.

“We wanted to make Father’s Day a big deal for them and make them feel a bit special.”

Mrs Labram said Sunday was also an eventful day at the village.

“We were busy putting through phone calls and Skype calls and we also had a lot of visits through the fence in certain areas, to comply with

Bert Haustorfer was among residents to welcome family members on Sunday.

Mr Haustorfer marked the special occasion with a visit from daughter Angela Parish, grand-daughter Amy Parish and great-grand-daughter Maycie Iredell.

Mrs Parish said it was the first time the members of the four generations had gathered together.

“We’re having a lovely time,” she said on Sunday.

“The weather is beautiful. It’s always nice to catch up with Dad. It’s a special day today and it’s nice to be able to celebrate together.

“We’re very lucky.”

Mr Haustorfer said despite being separated by a fence, the visit was ‘terrific’.

“It’s wonderful to be able to have the family meet up this way,” he said.

“I also like having the iPad to see the rest of the family, overseas.”

Mr Haustorfer said despite social-distancing rules and other restrictions, he was coping well throughout the pandemic.

“I’m getting extremely well looked after here,” he said.

“Between the iPad, the papers and the entertainment here, I’m keeping occupied.

“It’s great.”

Mullets open mental health dialogue H

BY DYLAN DE JONG

orsham’s Shaye ScottBywaters wants people to know it is okay to not feel okay.

The 22-year-old is working through Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, a condition that can leave people feeling stuck with a constant sense of danger and painful memories.

She has joined a group of Horsham residents who have agreed to sport a mullet hairstyle this month to help raise awareness of mental health.

When Ms Scott-Bywaters stumbled across Black Dog Institute’s ‘Mullets for Mental Health’ campaign, she wanted to find a way to get on board.

She encouraged her foster carer Peter Bywaters and her hosts, Horsham Riverside Caravan Park co-owners Glenn Coffey and partner Sue Jones, to join the cause.

Ms Scott-Bywaters said she had lost mates to suicide when she lived in South Australia, and since she moved to Horsham.

She said people needed to recognise it was okay to seek help in times of distress.

“Everyone at some point in their life, whether short term or long term, will go through some form of mental illness or trauma,” she said.

“We should be supportive of everyone. People in the community need to be aware there are people who they may see in the grocery store or down the street that could potentially have a mental illness. You don’t know because you can’t see it.”

Ballarat Health Services is the closest support centre that can offer Ms Scott-Bywaters the psychiatric care she needs.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Her only option is to take public transport – more than six hours of travelling.

“It’s not easy to get to a specialist in Ballarat, to be referred out of the region, it’s hard to get transport there,” she said.

“There’s no in-between help for people who are at moderate risk with their mental health out here.”

Ms Scott-Bywaters said she believed Horsham needed more immediate support available for people who re-

quired a higher level of psychological or psychiatric care.

She said she believed there needed to be a broader societal awareness and acceptance of mental health across the Wimmera.

“I’ve been through a lot of stuff mentally and seen psychiatrists and psychologists who don’t always help,” she said.

“There’s a lot of layers to it – not one person goes through the same mental health journey.

“I believe you’re better off being in the community with the proper support that you need, and we don’t have that out in the country.”

Black Dog Institute encourages all Australians to shape and grow a mullet during September to raise much-needed money for mental health research.

Australian Institute of Health and Wellbeing research shows suicide is the leading cause of death among Australians aged 15 to 24, at 37 percent.

For people aged 25 to 44, it was also suicide, at 22 percent. The figure for people in rural populations is double.

Mr Bywaters, along with Mr Coffey and Ms Jones, was keen to join the cause.

Mr Bywaters has been staying at the caravan park during the COVID-19 pandemic to gain access to disability facilities and complete hydrotherapy treatment for his back-related injuries.

He said the gesture of kindness from the caravan park operators to allow him to use their amenities made a huge difference to his mental health.

“Glenn and Sue have been really supportive of not only my mental health, but Shaye’s as well,” he said.

“I think it’s so important for people to realise that people have problems in their life.”

Mr Bywaters said ‘Mullet Month’ was a fun way to draw attention to an otherwise serious issue.

“It affects a lot more people than are willing to talk about – it’s something that needs to be brought out in the community,” he said.

“Mullet Month gives people a chance to do that.”

Mr Bywaters said even the smallest gesture could make a massive difference to someone who was struggling with their mental health.

“It’s really hard in the country because everyone knows each other and it can be hard to feel comfortable enough to open up to people,” he said.

“But people don’t have to communicate too much, sometimes all it takes is a smile. That acknowledgement is enough.

“You don’t have to do a hell of a lot to make difference to someone’s day.”

Rain and heat in coming months T

BY ANDREW DOWDELL

he Bureau of Meteorology says Wimmera and Mallee residents can expect above-average rain in late spring, ahead of lengthy heatwaves with little respite even when the sun goes down.

The bureau predicted in its spring outlook released last week a less tropical spring and early summer than last year’s sweltering conditions across much of Victoria, with the probability of high rainfall in the northwest of the state.

Bureau climatologist Felicity Gamble confirmed much of eastern Australia was likely to experience more rain.

“As for much of eastern Australia, it looks like being a reasonably wet spring, and the northwest of Victoria has a 70 to 75 percent chance of above average rainfall, while the rest of Victoria is somewhere between 60 and 65 percent,” she said.

Ms Gamble said while a September outlook was around the average, a prevailing La Niña weather pattern and conditions in the Indian Ocean set the scene for a much wetter spring than previous years.

“We are in the early stages of a La Niña effect in the Pacific Ocean and the last time we saw such conditions in the Indian Ocean was 2016,” she said.

Much of the Wimmera and northwest of the state endured extended dry spells through June and July, which Ms Gamble said was a com-

mon occurrence likely brought about by climate change.

“In recent decades we are seeing more frequent dry winters. In the past 20 years only three seasons between April and October have seen above-average rainfall,” she said.

Ms Gamble said the Horsham area had a predicted 74 percent chance of receiving higher than average rain from September to November. The median rain for the period is 107 millimetres.

“It is shaping up that way, we do often see with these patterns that warm sea temperatures off northwestern Australia will result in tropical moisture being brought down across the continent,” she said.

An El Niño weather pattern last summer brought on extremely hot days followed by stormy patches and fluctuating temperatures, however Ms Gamble said that was unlikely in the coming months.

“There are very strong odds of above-average temperatures, and into the summer months that is likely to mean prolonged periods of high temperatures with very little relief at night,” she said.

Ms Gamble said while the bureau was confident in its predictions, there was still a chance the weather could surprise the experts.

“We are reasonably confident there will be a much wetter spring, but even with the 75 percent chance that will occur, that still means there is a 25 percent chance that it won’t,” she said.

helped them on their journey to becoming confident about who they are.

“The club also has an educational function for people who might not have thought about reading an LGBTIQ-themed book before – it might help widen the knowledge and breadth of their reading.”

Before the pandemic the advocacy group hosted ‘pride nights’ and various other social events aimed at connecting people across the region.

Ms Bartlett said she hoped the virtual club would connect people who lived in remote and rural parts of the Wimmera.

“We had people from one or two hours away attend our pride nights, because they might not have many connections in their own communities,” she said.

“The pride project has always aimed to be focused on not just Horsham, but the whole Wimmera. The book club will be a good platform to invite people from right across the region to be involved.”

Ms Bartlett said the group planned to select an LGBTIQ-themed book in coming weeks and would host a virtual meeting via Zoom at the end of each month to discuss the chosen title.

People can join the club by visiting the Wimmera Pride Book Club page, clicking on groups, then requesting to be invited.

An LGBTIQ advocacy group hopes its launch of a virtual book club in the Wimmera will encourage social connection during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A second-wave lockdown across Victoria inspired Wimmera Pride Project members Renae Bartlett and Loucas Vettos to start ‘Wimmera Pride Book Club’.

Ms Bartlett said a Facebook group would serve as a platform for people to share their love for books and would extend to LGBTIQ people across the region.

“We decided to start Wimmera Pride Book Club because we wanted to find a way to connect with people and still support the LGBTIQ community,” she said.

“People’s resilience is being challenged at the moment because the pandemic has gone on for longer than anticipated, so that feeling of connection is really important.”

Each month, the club plans to select a LGBTIQthemed ‘book of the month’.

Ms Bartlett said the group wanted the book club to be a safe, inclusive space where the LGBTIQ and allies could connect through a shared love of literature.

“At the moment we’re just trying to encourage members to join and get people to talk about what they’re reading at the moment,” she said.

“That might include any books that might have

Think blue to show support

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ictoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham Branch leaders have called on Wimmera residents to help ‘turn the state blue’ to honour those who protect and serve the community.

Blue Ribbon Day, on September 29, coincides with National Police Remembrance Day and aims to ensure the fallen are never forgotten.

Horsham branch secretary Kelly Schilling said Blue Ribbon Day would look quite different this year thanks to COVID-19 restrictions.

“There will be no physical memorial services in Victoria on or around September 29,” she said.

“However, Victoria Police is preparing a recorded version of a remembrance service, which will be streamed across the state to the wider police family and the community.

“Horsham and surrounding areas will be able to view the service via an online link.”

Ms Schilling said in lieu of attending a memorial service in person, Blue Ribbon Foundation leaders were encouraging the community to ‘turn the state blue’ throughout the month, particularly September 28 and 29.

“We want to encourage the community to remember members of our police force who have died in the line of duty by supporting the state initiative by decorating their homes and businesses with all things blue,” she said.

Ms Schilling said people could order Blue Ribbon Day merchandise online at copshop.com.au or alternatively, order and collect merchandise in Horsham by calling her on 5382 1351 or emailing

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER brfhorsham@gmail.com. People can also contact Ms Schilling to donate to the Horsham branch directly.

The branch raises money for equipment for Wimmera Health Care Group.

Ms Schilling said branch leaders were excited to announce their next target after reaching a $100,000 goal for Wimmera Cancer Centre in February.

“Since then, the committee has been working closely with the hospital to ensure fundraising efforts are directed based on need,” she said.

“We now have a new target of $30,000 for a neonatal resuscitator unit.”

Ms Schilling said the unit was a vital piece of equipment for preventing neonatal deaths and adverse long-term

effects for infants born not breathing.

“It will be the region’s first neonatal resuscitator unit,” she said.

“We are excited to be able to support the hospital and community reach this life-saving goal.”

Woolworths stores across the state are also supporting Blue Ribbon Day by collecting donations at supermarket checkouts.

Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation chairman David Mann said Blue Ribbon Day held a special place in the hearts of Victorians because it provided the community with a chance to pay tribute to police.

He said it allowed people to honour the 170 members who had paid the ul-

timate price and to acknowledge those who continued to serve.

“This year Blue Ribbon Day means more than ever,” he said.

“2020 has been especially challenging for Victoria Police, tragically losing four members in April and now supporting our efforts in the fight against COVID-19.

“Their role in protecting us all can be very difficult and challenging, impacting on them and their families.

“The support of the community means so much.”

People can visit remember.org.au for more information about Blue Ribbon Day, the foundation and its work.

Charlegrark music event cancelled Lake Charlegrark Country Music Marathon organisers will turn their attention to 2022 after putting 30th birthday celebrations on hold.

President James Hawkins said Victorian COVID-19 restrictions made it ‘impossible to plan ahead in these trying times’, leading the committee to cancel the 2021 event.

“There are too many unknown factors, such as crowd size, interstate travelling and so on,” he said.

“Most important is the health and safety of our followers, our artists, our volunteers, our sponsors and our committee members.”

Mr Hawkins said the event committee extended its support to the live music industry and acknowledged the devastating effect the pandemic had had on the industry across Australia.

“We look forward to some normality returning to our lives soon,” he said.

“In the meantime, the committee will be busy planning ahead for our 30th year celebration – and what a ripper it will be.”

The 2022 Lake Charlegrark Country Music Marathon is scheduled for February 18 to 20.

Mr Hawkins said people could follow the event’s Facebook page or visit website www. lccmm.com.au for updates.

Jules steps up to help PAWS A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

love for animals has inspired Horsham youngster Jules Darrington to use his newly learned culinary skills to help raise money for a Wimmera rescue centre.

A visit to Horsham PAWS encouraged the 12-year-old to start a monthly bake sale to support rescue president Penny Stemp with fundraising efforts.

Jules and his mother Sigrid hosted their first bake sale online, appealing for Horsham residents to put in an order over the phone and attend the stall wearing a mask.

Jules said he never expected it would get so much support, with their baking efforts raising more than $420 for the cause.

“I expected about four to seven people to come, but a lot of people came and donated,” he said.

Jules said he was keen to help Mrs Stemp after seeing the work she did rehoming cats and dogs from across the region.

“Dad and I went to see Penny and she seemed really nice,” he said.

“When I got home, I was all excited and made a little donation box for any loose change that people could contribute.

“Mum took it to the next level on Facebook and we decided to have a bake sale for Horsham PAWS – I’ve never really been a fan of baking. Mum helped me make the cakes.”

Jules said he was keen to explore volunteering opportunities with Mrs Stemp when COVID-19 restrictions eased.

“I think it’s a great thing she does and the people that help her,” he said.

“I could see myself doing that sort of

work. I want to volunteer out there, but we’ve just got to figure that out.”

Mrs Darrington said she was proud of the initiative her son took to help others in the community.

“He’s always been an animal lover – it’s great to see him doing something for the community,” she said.

“It makes hubby and I feel really proud, especially the fact that Jules came up with the idea by himself.”

Mrs Darrington said holding a bake sale also taught Jules about cooking and money handling skills.

“Jules created the menu and learned some baking and how much ingredients cost. He also learnt the cost of running a bake sale along the way,” she said.

“We’ve always tried to do a bit of baking and he was never really too interested, but now that it’s for a good cause he’s really interested in helping.”

Mrs Stemp said the donation came at a crucial time, with fundraising opportunities limited during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The money itself is great because most of our funds come from our op-shop and that’s been closed since March. That’s a lot of income that we haven’t had over winter,” she said.

“Our operating costs have not gone down, but our income has definitely gone down.

“You get up and look after 30 cats and then you have to think about fundraising as well. For someone else to take

a bit of that load off means we can do more with the animals.”

Mrs Stemp said it was inspiring to see a young person so eager to help.

“It’s so nice a kid is recognising the importance of what we do and asking questions about the animals and what the process is – he’ll be telling his friends too, which will increase that awareness,” she said.

“The younger you can get people to recognise that animal welfare is an issue, the better.

“There are a lot of kids out there that might see their parents doing things with animals that aren’t all that great.

“By them getting involved in a group like us, they recognise it’s not a way to behave.”

A ‘hidden’ option A

claims advocacy leader is urging Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians residents to be aware of ‘hidden insurance’ to help pay for healthcare throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

AFRM Claims Advocacy chief executive Bruno Muraca said many financially stressed workers and the newly unemployed were feeling the pinch of reduced income.

He said many people were trading off their healthcare for essentials such as food on the table and might not be aware of hidden insurance available during a crisis.

“Figures from the Melbourne Institute’s national survey shows that up to 32 percent of financially stressed Australians were not seeking necessary healthcare in June, with the majority of them needing treatment for a new condition,” he said.

“Nowhere is this more prevalent than in the mental-health sector, where calls to free helplines such as Beyond Blue have gone up by 66 percent compared with this time last year.”

Mr Muraca said at a time when unemployment and underemployment were causing home disharmony, anxiety and depression, many Australians were too financially stretched to pay for treatment for stress and anxiety.

“Consumers with a mentalhealth illness should not be placed in a position that has them trade-off food on the table versus ongoing treatment,” he said.

Mr Muraca said an existing practical solution to help consumers afford mental health treatment could be found in a line in their superannuation policy that many overlooked – personal insurance benefits.

“For many of us, superannuation personal insurance is like that money you hid under the mattress for a rainy day and forgot about. Well, it is raining now and it’s time to lift the mattress,” he said.

He said some superannuation provided personal insurance including income protection, total permanent disablement and death insurance, which policyholders might be able to access to pay for their healthcare.

“Given the compulsory nature of superannuation, if a client has worked or has even ceased working, they might be able to access their insurance within their superannuation which could help pay for their treatment,” he said.

Awareness

Mr Muraca said a claimant did not need to be permanently impaired to gain access to the insurance, which would not affect their overall retirement nest egg.

“But who is telling consumers? Awareness of personal insurance in superannuation is only around 30 percent. Not knowing they can access and afford help, heightens anxiety and the community has seen a jump in suicides by 25 percent on last year,” he said.

“In addition, often those who try to claim on their insurance end up

abandoning their claim and their recovery. It becomes too difficult.

Trying to pick your way through the process with a mental-health condition could exacerbate the condition you are trying to claim for.”

Mr Muraca said AFRM Claims Advocacy helped clients navigate the ‘tricky’ area of personal insurance claims.

“We help people who are not able to work due to an injury or illness and help them navigate the complex world of personal insurance claims,” he said.

“We help them afford ongoing treatment and restore their sense of purpose and contribution.”

Mr Muraca said AFRM Claims Advocacy welcomed government policy and health sector moves to improve access to treatments, but the need was urgent now.

“Anyone who has sought out a mental-health professional’s care will tell you they often first seek care when they are in personal crisis, and right now we have nearly one-million unemployed in Australia taking a toll on their mental health, so many are in financial crisis,” he said.

“It is hard to think of a crisis more worthy of dipping into an insurance policy on your superannuation.

“A mental-health illness does not discriminate.

“While Australia is doing a good job of increasing awareness of the illness and of the help available, we now need to increase the awareness of how to afford it.”

WILDLIFE ART: John Tiddy’s ‘Night Hunter’ features in Wildlife Art Museum of Australia’s first online exhibition, available now.

WAMA exhibition online Grampians and Wimmera artists are well represented in Wildlife Art Museum of Australia’s first online exhibition.

Nature Nurturing Art, curated by former Horsham Regional Art Gallery director Merle Hathaway, features 30 artists from across Australia.

The exhibition is designed to signify the connectivity of art, science and the environment.

The artwork is in all mediums and styles and ranges from botanical art to abstraction, from painting to sculpture and jewellery.

Some artists are deeply influenced by remote Australia and indigenous cultures while others take inspiration from their local environment.

The exhibition includes work from Wimmera wildlife artists Steve Morvell and Roger Edwards, Horsham’s Nichola Clarke with ‘upcycled’ plants, night drawings by Anthony Pelchen and evocative landscapes by the late Chris Nicholls.

From Stawell, Peter Voice contributes multimedia paintings and John Tiddy exhibits masterful bird photography.

Past Horsham gallery curator Trevor Smith has contributed a whimsical crocheted superb fairy wren.

The exhibition also includes major Australian artists such as John Wolseley, Janet Laurence, Jennifer Marshall, Dianne Emery, Heather Shimmen, Noel Hart and Carmel Wallace.

Hathaway said she was intrigued by artists who dedicated years to exploring aspects of the natural environment.

“Nature both inspires and nurtures these artists,” she said.

“A painter may focus on the shimmer of light on water. A photographer uncomfortably waits for hours to capture ‘that shot’ of a bird in flight. This exhibition peeps into the worlds of artists interpreting our unique Australian environment.

“I am delighted to organise the very first online exhibition for WAMA, to bring awareness to this important genre of nature-inspired art and to the wonderful WAMA Project.”

WAMA’s Nature Nurturing Art online exhibition is available at www.wama.net. au/art-exhibition until October 16.

‘Round up’ for cancer charity

H

orsham and visiting drivers can help support Australian families with cancer at the bowser as part of a week-long Coles Express and Redkite ‘round-up’ fundraiser.

Customers have the option to round up any purchase to the nearest dollar to help leading children’s cancer charity Redkite provide fuel vouchers and essential financial and emotional support for families doing it tough with cancer.

Redkite fuel vouchers have proven a lifesaver for Wimmera families, including Horsham’s Sarah Lee and her son Braxton Williams, 6.

When Braxton was diagnosed with glioma, a type of brain cancer, Ms Lee had to make seven-hour round trips from Horsham to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne during his early stages of treatment.

“Each Horsham to Melbourne trip cost about $100 in fuel – money I didn’t have,” Ms Lee said.

“Due to the distance we had to travel, we eventually relocated to Melbourne. Redkite supported the move financially and emotionally.

“While we were in Melbourne, they also continued to provide fuel vouchers as I was taking Brax to hospital at least once a week and anywhere up to four times a week.”

Ms Lee and Braxton are now back home in Horsham.

“With COVID-19 restrictions, we are now required to travel to the RCH once every three months for MRIs. This is still a 600-kilometre round trip. Every little bit helps when you’re fighting cancer,” Ms Lee said.

Redkite chief executive Monique Keighery said it was now more important than ever to support families who have a child with cancer.

“In the past year Redkite has supported around 550 families through their child’s cancer journey here in Victoria alone. 2020 has been one of the hardest years on record for Redkite families – first with the added unimaginable impacts of the bushfires for many, and then the overwhelming and ongoing pressures of COVID-19 for all families. As if having a child with cancer wasn’t already tough enough,” she said.

“The need for Redkite’s services has exploded and we must keep up with the growing demand because families need our essential support more

This week, please make sure you pay a visit to one of the 179 Coles Express sites around Victoria so we can continue our vital cancer support services to families across Australia.”

Horsham’s Coles Express is at 170 Baillie Street.

Coles Express Victoria manager Gill Sukhdeep said Coles Express was proud to be providing a valuable service to the community during this particularly difficult time.

“Many of our Coles Express team members have children of their own and are passionate about supporting their community as well as a charity that does so much for families whose lives have been devastated by cancer,” he said.

“During these stressful times, it feels good to know that when you visit a Coles Express site this week and round up at the till, you’re supporting a family and their child facing cancer.”

Coles Express customers and team members have donated more than $490,000 as part of Redkite Week since 2019, with this year’s fundraiser running until Sunday.

JobKeeper extension confirmed The nation’s official JobKeeper payment scheme will continue to March 28 after the Federal Parliament passed legislation last week.

Federal Government introduced JobKeeper to ‘keep businesses in business and Australians in jobs’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The scheme has so far provided cash-flow support to more than 900,000 businesses and income support for about 3.5-million workers.

The JobKeeper legislation also includes extensions to the workplace flexibility available for businesses receiving JobKeeper payments.

Similar flexibility will also be provided to legacy JobKeeper businesses where their turnover remains down by between 10 and 30 percent.

A two-tiered payment will start from September 28 to better align the payment with employee incomes before the onset of the pandemic.

Time to unlock financial secrets

O

ne of the keys to financial success is to adopt the right strategy at the right time. Following are some tried and tested ‘secrets’ that will help you build and protect your wealth as you move through the stages of life.

Teens and young adults

Time is on your side so get saving. Through the magic of compound interest, a little bit invested now can grow into a big amount over time.

Most young people do not want to think about life in 50 years’ time, but if a 15-year-old starts saving just $10 a week into an investment returning five percent a year after fees and tax, when they turn 65 their total outlay of $26,000 will have grown to more than $116,000.

Contributing those savings to a tax-favoured vehicle such as superannuation might provide an even higher final return.

Single life

Saving is still a key strategy as careers are established, but usually with a shorter timeframe and a specific purpose in mind – buying a home, for example.

This is a time when savings strategies can be brought undone by the allure of desirable things. Take care not to indulge in too many luxuries and avoid taking on any high-interest debt, such as credit cards. Rather, commit to working out a budget and sticking to it.

Family focus

The time of kids and mortgages is also the time of peak responsibility.

It is likely your most valuable asset is your ability to earn an income, and illness, disability or death could deprive you and your family of that income. The financial consequences of each of these possibilities can be managed with a

blend of income protection, total and permanent disability, trauma and life insurances.

Preparing for retirement

With offspring launched into the world and earning capacity often at a peak, a wealth of opportunities open up for pre-retirees.

By all means enjoy some lifestyle spending, but do not forget to supercharge your super in anticipation of a long retirement.

In times of normal interest rates, using surplus income to pay off any outstanding home loan is often recommended, however, when interest rates are very low, investing spare income into super and leaving debt repayments until later might deliver a better outcome.

Golden years

Australians are up there with the leaders when it comes to enjoying long and healthy retirements.

That means retirement savings need to last, so A, do not go too hard too fast in spending your super, and B, do not invest too conservatively, particularly in times of ultra-low interest rates.

Whatever your stage of life, there are many things you could be doing to secure your financial future. To find out more, talk to your financial adviser.

RUN FREE: Ararat councillor Fay Hull and her dog Joe at the site of a new dog park near Alexandra Gardens.

Space to teach old dogs new tricks Ararat and Warracknabeal are among 10 regional centres to win State Government support to develop community dog parks.

The government is creating 17 new dog parks across the state ‘to give families more green, open space and create jobs’ as Victoria rebuilds from the economic impacts of coronavirus.

Ararat Rural City Council will use $85,000 to establish new, green open spaces for dogs and dog lovers in the community.

The council confirmed the project would help create jobs and relieve some of the economic impact caused by COVID-19.

It will establish a new fenced park on Alexandra Avenue,

across from Alexandra Gardens, to provide an opportunity for dog owners to allow their pets to run freely.

The park will have large, open free-range space for dogs to play, as well as a skills area for owners to teach their dogs tricks.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said park design would optimise safety of owners and their pets, with shrubbery on the park’s perimeter to prevent distractions for dogs, drinking facilities and a double-layered gated entry to prevent escapes and unfriendly encounters.

“This park is going to complement Alexandra Gardens and give dog owners the ability to give their pet some freedom,” he said.

“With this news, it is also a great time to remind our community there are dogs in our pound which would love a new home, and someone to take them to the new park.”

Dr Harrison said people could visit the pet adoption page on council’s website, ararat.vic.gov.au or call 5355 0200 to find out more.

Park construction is scheduled to start in October and be finished by early next year.

Yarriambiack Shire Council will receive $12,000 in government funding for an offleash area as part of Warracknabeal’s redevelopment of Rotary Park in Kelsall Street.

Warracknabeal Rotary will provide $3000 for the project.

Region backs fresh renewables look

W

immera development leaders have welcomed a State Government investigation into the renewable industry’s ability to generate more electricity for the state.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said the government’s announcement of ‘market sounding’ for 600 extra megawatts of renewable energy came as ‘potentially good news’.

“Anything that is going to encourage investment into renewables has to be a great story, especially in our part of Victoria,” he said.

“Obviously in the Wimmera and southern Mallee the big question is

about getting energy generated here out of the region and making sure the appropriate infrastructure is in place.

“But companies considering investing into solar and wind-generation in the region, and we know of several, should gain some confidence in the government announcement.”

Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the market-sounding process would test industry interest and capacity for new solar, wind and other renewable-energy projects.

She said the process would also explore the potential for electricityreliant industries and businesses, as well as the government, to buy renewable energy.

“It is not only good for our economy – it will deliver more reliable, affordable energy to households across Victoria. We know Victorians are doing it tough and affordable reliable power is more important than ever”

– Lily D’Ambrosio

“Renewable energy is supporting thousands of jobs and local businesses across Victoria – and it will help drive our economic recovery from coronavirus,” she said.

“It is not only good for our economy – it will deliver more reliable, af-

fordable energy to households across Victoria.

“We know Victorians are doing it tough and affordable reliable power is more important than ever.”

In 2017, the Victorian government sought 650 megawatts of renewable energy through a Victorian Renewable Energy Target Auction.

The auction exceeded the target, providing 928 megawatts.

Ms D’Ambrosio said the latest market-sounding process would test the capacity of industry to deliver at least a further 600 megawatts of renewable energy.

“That’s enough to power every hospital and school in Victoria, Melbourne’s train network and a range of

other government infrastructure and services,” she said.

“It represents the next step in Victoria’s plans to continue to drive significant investment in renewable energy zones, with more support to come to expedite and streamline grid connections.”

Ms D’Ambrosio said Victoria was on track to meet its legislated 2020 renewable-energy target of 25 percent and procuring new generation would make a significant contribution to meeting a 2025 target of 40 percent and a legislated target of net-zero emissions by 2050.

IDEAS: Horsham College Duke of Edinburgh students Jack Fisher and Sarah Netherway prepare to make a garden at Centre for Participation.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Students chip in for garden project Horsham College students have joined forces with the Wimmera’s Centre for Participation to meet their volunteering requirements as part of Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

Jack Fisher and Sarah Netherway are providing ideas and planning for an outside shared garden space at the centre’s Urquhart Street headquarters.

The centre’s Stephanie Thomson said some students were struggling to find volunteering opportunities for their Duke of Edinburgh award during the pandemic.

“Centre for Participation staff discussed how we could support these students to achieve the volunteering portion of this award, that was meaningful and would incorporate their skills, interest, talents and connections,” she said.

“We have discussed an out-

side, shared space for service users, volunteers and staff.

“The idea is to encourage people to meet in an inviting outside space while social distancing safely to increase social cohesion between the groups that use and support Centre for Participation.

“The project required the students to come up with ideas for the space that were sustainable and movable, to engage the community for sponsorship and donations and to be proud of the creation that will also showcase our services, people and connections.

“This project encourages their project planning, design and marketing skills while thinking about the social impact on the project for the community.”

Ms Thomson said the garden design included pallet furniture, citrus trees in wine

barrels, horizontal and vertical planters and brush fencing.

“The garden has a focus on sustainability, flexibility and movability and multi-purpose use while being inviting and creating a space to connect and create social cohesion,” she said.

“However, we need community support.”

Ms Thomson said the community could help with donations or sponsorship such as: cash donations – or store gift cards to buy building materials, plants and soil; sunshade, cushions, brush fencing, wine barrels, wooden pallets; watering system and tools.

People keen to provide a donation can call Centre for Participation on 5382 5607 and ask for Ms Thomson or email her at stephanie@centre forparticipation.org.au.

Due to current circumstances, the Horsham RSL is closed until further notice.

Paramedic: time is critical A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera paramedical leader is urging residents to learn the signs of stroke after Ambulance Victoria reported record numbers in patient calls across the state.

Ambulance Victoria Grampians regional director Tim Maywald said stroke was Australia’s second largest killer and people in regional communities were significantly more at risk.

The comments came during National Stroke Week – a time to raise awareness of the signs of stroke.

“Unfortunately, us folks outside metropolitan Melbourne are 19 percent more likely to suffer a stroke,” Mr Maywald said.

“However, you have a better chance of survival and making a full recovery if you recognise the signs quickly and call for an ambulance.”

Mr Maywald said the ‘F.A.S.T’ test – Face, Arms, Speech, Time – was a simple way to recognise the signs of a stroke.

“Check the face, is the mouth drooped?

Is lifting one or both arms difficult? Is speech slurred? Time is critical – pick up the phone and dial triple zero immediately,” he said.

“Paramedics need to be on scene as quickly as possible to give patients the best chance of recovery through our world-class Victoria Stroke Telemedicine service.”

Ambulance Victoria director of stroke services Professor Chris Bladin said July

KINDHEARTED: Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College students, from left, Max, Maya and Zara Przibilla delivered letters and flowers to their neighbours during the remote learning period.

– Tim Maywald

was the busiest month on record, with almost 350 patients receiving life-saving treatment and care.

“Thanks to Victoria Stroke Telemedicine, stroke patients are receiving time-critical clot busting treatment as soon as they arrive to hospital,” Mr Bladin said.

“VST is one example of how digital technology is transforming the way Ambulance Victoria co-ordinates and delivers care across the health system in Victoria.

“It’s central to our goal of providing equitable access to the right care, the best care, for all Victorians regardless of where they live.”

Paramedic Levi Karschimkus has experienced the impact of stroke first-hand.

“My dad suffered a stroke in 2008, leaving my mum to raise five kids single-handedly, all the while helping my dad with his recovery,” he said.

“The care my dad received that day was a big part of the reason I became a paramedic and why dad is still here today.”

Small gestures brightening people’s days Horsham students are delivering flowers, letters and baked goods to neighbours, family members and senior citizens to ‘brighten people’s day’ during stage-three COVID-19 lockdowns.

Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College teachers encouraged students to reach out to people who might be experiencing isolation with the random acts of kindness.

House co-ordinator Cameron Pickering said students staying connected with peers virtually during remote learning recognised there might be residents who might be struggling through the isolation period.

“The students then reached out to people senior to them – their parents, a neighbour or relatives,” he said.

“An act of kindness might be as simple as making a cup of tea

for mum and dad, or just thanking them for their help throughout remote learning, while they work from home.”

Mr Pickering said students had also written letters to Sunnyside Lutheran Retirement Village residents in the hope of developing an ongoing pen pal relationship.

“Most students have had a connection with Sunnyside retirement village throughout primary school,” he said.

“One of our focuses was partnering up with the village to get some correspondence happening.

“Some students have established ongoing pen pal friendships with the seniors.”

Mr Pickering said the random acts of kindness were helping students strengthen their relationships, build positive emotions and promote mindfulness.

“The wave and big smile the students get back really makes their day, and they’ve made a difference in someone else’s day,” he said.

“It’s getting them out of their comfort zone and getting them to look outside themselves – that’s one of our major values, to serve others.”

Mr Pickering said students recognised even small gestures could make a big difference in a person’s day.

“There’s always someone worse off than you in the world and someone you can help,” he said.

“That can be as simple as giving a phone call.

“People who are stuck in nursing homes, who are more susceptible to COVID-19, have had their lives impacted more so than the students.”

Plan ahead for firewood

A

uthorities are urging firewood collectors across western Victoria to start planning their 2021 winter firewood needs as part of the opening of a spring collection season.

Designated firewood-collection areas have opened across Victoria, allowing communities to gather wood for personal use.

Firewood-collection activities must comply with public-health measures, prioritising the safety of the Victorian community.

Departmental deputy chief fire officer Tony English said authorities were anticipating an increased demand for firewood during the spring and autumn collection seasons.

“Due to a range of impacts, including last summer’s bushfires, we are anticipating that demand will exceed supply in some areas of the region,” he said.

“As a result, we are urging people who rely on firewood for heating and cooking to consider all options, including purchasing firewood from local merchants selling legally obtained wood.

“In fire-affected communities, we are continuing to look for opportunities to provide alternative collection areas and restrict access to residents of certain postcodes or local government areas.

“We remind the community that firewood can only be taken from designated collection areas in state forests or parks during approved collection seasons.

“Designated collection areas are selected for a range of reasons including the availability of firewood, community safety, and to protect sites of cultural and environmental significance.

“Firewood collected from public land is for personal use only and cannot be sold.”

Mr English said it was important to stay within collection limits to prevent households stockpiling large volumes of firewood from public land and denying others a supply.

“Collection limits include taking a maximum of two cubic metres per person a day and a maximum of 16 cubic metres a household each financial year. The felling of trees and cutting of hollow logs for firewood is also prohibited,” he said.

Fines apply

Local government agencies manage firewood collection from roadsides, which usually require permits.

Authorised officers patrol parks, forests and reserves to ensure people are doing the right thing.

Under the Forest Act 1958, people who collect firewood outside designated collection areas or season, or take more than the maximum allowable amounts, can face fines of up to $8261, or a maximum penalty of one-year imprisonment or both, if the matter goes to court.

The spring firewood-collection season closes on November 30.

More information is available online at www.ffm.vic.gov.au/firewood.

Coffee-cup concept grows in region Wimmera residents and visitors can help the environment and support a small business by recycling disposable coffee cups.

Flavia Guardia started Eco Enviro Concepts in Melbourne in 2017 after discovering how to convert coffee cups into biodegradable germination pods. The pods contain seeds to grow vegetables, herbs and flowers.

“The cellulose from the cups is good for plants, helping to remain stiff and strong,” Ms Guardia said.

A graphic designer by trade, qualified at UBA-FADU, Ms Guardia moved to Australia from her native Buenos Aires, Argentina, to study English in 2016.

While studying in Melbourne, she became aware of a need to address the issue of an overwhelming amount of coffee cups heading for landfill.

“Most cups are lined with plastic and paper and all of them are thrown into the landfill,” Ms Guardia said.

“It takes 30 years to decompose and the new bio cups still need more than a year to decompose.”

Ms Guardia said most people did not realise coffee cups could be recycled and simply threw them in the bin.

She said the cups needed to be processed to separate the materials, which could be used to create other products.

“It is our vision to use the materials to create recycled and biodegradable products that minimise waste,” she said.

“Biodegradability is our priority – we create products for the people, by the people.”

Along with seed pots, Eco Enviro

COLLECTION: Eco Enviro Concepts founder Flavia Guardia collects coffee cups in Horsham Plaza. The recycling business separates the cup’s materials, turning the paper into plant pots and using the plastic for other products.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Concepts sells germination cubes, pots, punnets, flower boxes, beeswax wraps, eco-fire bricks and two collection station models.

Most of the range is under the Australian Made, Australian Grown logo.

Since moving to Horsham a year ago, Ms Guardia has worked to expand her business in the region.

She was a regular on the Wimmera market scene – collecting disposable coffee cups and selling products made from their materials – before COVID-19 restrictions forced the closure of public gatherings.

Ms Guardia has set up a collection station for used coffee cups at Horsham Plaza, which she empties fortnightly.

She said other businesses, including 40 Winks, had collected coffee cups for her.

“Forty Winks saved 620 coffee cups in past months. That’s a huge amount of cups that otherwise would have gone to landfill,” she said.

“I am also in contact with Coles, community gardens at Warracknabeal and Rainbow and other places to set up more recycling stations in the Wimmera.”

The collection stations are for coffee cups only and feature a section to dispose of any liquids.

People can visit website www. ecoenviroconcepts.com/ for more information about recycling coffee cups or to buy products.

Bottle art raises awareness H

BY DYLAN DE JONG

orsham artist Nichola Clarke is aiming to teach people across the region how to convert their trash into treasure to help raise awareness of plastic pollution.

The sculptor uploaded a YouTube video to teach people how to make a solar-powered milk bottle garden as part of Art is… Still Happening’s virtual festival.

Mrs Clarke, who normally travels across Wimmera schools to teach her art program, had to adapt to a virtual format due to COVID-19 restrictions.

She said she was eager to continue sharing her trash-to-treasure technique to inspire people to think more resourcefully about plastics and rubbish.

“This whole project is shining a light on recycling and how plastics are so bad for the environment,” she said.

“When you actually play with a milk bottle you start to identify with it, you make a cut in it, it makes it something a bit more special.

“Then you talk about it and ask where does that bottle go when you finish pouring your milk?

“Does it go to recycling or does it go to landfill? You start building a relationship with it by playing with it.”

Mrs Clarke describes solar flowers as ‘triffid-like’ creatures, aiming to represent a future environment that has succumbed to the effects of rubbish and pollution, merging the natural habitat of plants with trash.

Mrs Clarke said her plans were to expand to larger-scale solar gardens across the country to highlight a growing global issue of plastic pollution.

TRASH TO TREASURE: Horsham artist Nichola Clarke has uploaded a YouTube video to teach people how to make a solar-powered milk bottle garden as part of Art is… Still Happening’s virtual festival.

“It’s a great activity for lockdown.

We’d love to collect all the flowers later in the year and create a big installation with them for next year – it would be fabulous to have some interest in that.

“Using easily available material, such as milk bottles and solar fairy lights, people can create their own garden that lights up and twinkles at night.”

Art is… festival has partnered with Horsham Agricultural Society to allow participants to enter their best solar gardens into a Virtual Horsham Show category.

“What I really want to do is take my milk bottle garden to communities right around Australia and eventually grow the gardens to the point where you can exhibit them,” she said.

Festival manager Sarah Natali said Art is… wanted to create an instructional video to allow people to participate from home.

“Last year we delivered these solar flower workshops at the Art is...

Winter Warmer showcase at Horsham Showground,” she said.

“I had a chat with Nichola and she was super keen to continue, so we decided to make this video.

People need to submit a photograph of their entry online at horshamshow.com.au before September 19 to enter.

People can also showcase their garden via Art is... festival online by sending a photograph to www.artiswimmera.com/ solar-garden by September 25.

People can find the instructional video online at www.artiswimmera.com/ solar-garden.

The Art is… Still Happening festival is running an altered, socially distanced program until the end of September.

Councillor call Ararat Rural City Council is encouraging community-minded people who have a drive to create positive changes to consider nominating for approaching council elections.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said councillors played a large role in shaping the future of Ararat with long-term planning and decision-making.

“Local government makes important decisions on matters such as community amenities, roads and safety, infrastructure, local laws and plenty more,” he said.

“It is important that we have a range of different people nominate for the election so the people of Ararat are able to vote for what they want to see in the future.

“Ararat is a diverse group of people, each with their own perspectives.

“The best future for all of us involves a local council which reflects the values of everyone in the community.”

Dr Harrison said council nominations opened on September 17 and people needed to take a series of steps, such as mandatory councillor training, before they could nominate.

He said a good starting place for anyone considering standing for the council was Ararat Rural City Council website www.ararat.vic.gov.au.

“Here you can find information on the role of councillors, important dates for the election and useful links,” he said.

Victorian Electoral Commission will also host interactive candidate information sessions. Information on these is also available online at www. vec.vic.gov.au.

People can also find out more about Ararat elections by calling 5355 0200.

3008 debut

Significant changes to styling, infotainment and tech with new Peugeot SUV

F

rench car-maker Peugeot has debuted its updated 3008 small SUV, revealing significant design changes as well as upgrades to equipment and technology features.

Set for an Australian arrival in the first quarter of next year, the new 3008 wears a new and different face compared with its predecessor, headlined by its new frameless grille that bleeds into the corners of the front fascia, giving the car a wide and commanding look.

The LED headlights have been reshaped for a more aggressive look, with a vertical daytime running light strip flowing downwards into the bumper.

GT grades score full LED beams

with cornering function, while the foglights have now been integrated in to the headlamps with a new ‘foggy mode’ function.

At the rear, the tail-lights have a 3D, claw-like effect and are covered by clear, smoked glass and separated by a black boot lid, while a floating C-pillar and roof rails give the car a sense of length.

Alloy wheels vary up to 19 inches in size, while a ‘black pack’ is available that brings a number of darkened elements to the exterior trim and wheels.

Inside, Peugeot’s futuristic i-Cockpit layout has been updated with the 12.3inch high-set digital instrument cluster now featuring ‘normally black’ tech helping improve rendering for better readability and contrast.

The old 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system has been replaced by a larger 10-inch unit with an upgraded operating system, accessed by the same ‘piano key’ toggle switches as before.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and wireless charging come as standard.

A 515-watt Focal audio system can be had as an option.

As for engines, the new 3008 is available with two hybrid, three petrol and two diesel engines globally, with Peugeot Citroen Australia, PCA, confirming the updated range will carry over the current engine line-up.

The existing 3008 can be had with the choice of either the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine devel-

oping 121kW-240Nm, or the larger 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-pot good for 133kW-400Nm. Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and drive the front wheels, with all updated grades treated to a drive mode selector.

Two plug-in hybrid, PHEV, grades are available overseas, with PCA saying it is considering bringing a hybrid version Down Under in the second quarter of next year.

The first PHEV teams a 147kW300Nm petrol engine to a pair of electric motors for a combined 224kW output, with the motors powered by a 13.2kWh lithium-ion battery capable of 59km of electric-only range.

The other hybrid set-up uses a slightly less potent petrol engine and a

single motor on the front axle for a combined 165kW. A full recharge takes one hour and 45 minutes using a 7.4kW wall box and up to seven hours on a standard socket.

New active safety equipment includes animal and pedestrian night vision cameras, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane centring function, extended traffic sign recognition and an upgraded autonomous emergency braking set-up.

This is in addition to the existing suite of active safety tech.

More details on the new 3008 including pricing and specification will be revealed closer to the new model’s arrival in the first quarter of 2021.

Skoda electric SUV laid bare

F

ollowing a long teaser campaign, Skoda has finally unveiled its first-ever electric vehicle, the Enyaq SUV, marking a significant milestone in the Czech brand’s history.

DESIGN FIRST: The Enyaq SUV marks a significant milestone in the Czech brand’s history. of 150kW-310Nm.vIts 510km range ranks favourably among other EVs, such as the Audi E-Tron, 400km; Mercedes-Benz EQC, 434km; and Jaguar I-Pace, 470km.

The 80x iV adds a second motor to the front axle for all-wheel drive, with power increasing to 195kW-425Nm, however the range takes a hit and drops to 460km.

Topping the range is the Enyaq RS, the first-ever all-electric RS variant,

with power boosted to 225kW-460Nm – making it more powerful than any other Skoda Down Under – and range steady at 460km.

Sprinting from standstill to 100kmh in the Enyaq RS takes 6.2 seconds, with a top speed of 180kmh – 20kmh more than the rest of the Enyaq range.

Charging capacity on the Enyaq extends up to 125kW, with the most powerful 82kWh battery capable of charging from five to 80 percent in 38

minutes when using a DC fast charger.

Using an 11kW AC wall box will take six to eight hours for a full charge, depending on battery size.

The exterior styling of the Enyaq shows a design that is recognisably Skoda but with progressive elements that separates it from its internalcombustion counterparts, starting with its Crystal Face grille.

Offered on 82kWh variants, the Crystal Face places 130 LED light

However, the Enyaq is not destined for local shores, with Skoda Australia telling GoAuto there are no plans to bring the zero-emissions model Down Under.

Based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB modular electric platform, the Enyaq will be offered globally with the choice of three battery sizes and five different power outputs ranging from 109kW to 225kW, including an RS-fettled variant.

The choice of rear or all-wheel drive will also be offered, while driving range can extend up to 510km based on the WLTP cycle.

Entry-level versions – named 50 iV – score a 109kW-220Nm rearmounted motor with a 55kWh battery and claimed range of up to 340km.

The Enyaq 60 iV increases battery capacity to 62kWh, allowing for an output of 132kW-310Nm and a range of 390km.

Finally, the last three grades all employ the full-size 82kWh battery, which in the rear-drive Enyaq 80 iV allows for the greatest WLTP range – 510 kilometres – with a power output

modules in and around the grille giving it a unique lighting signature, paired with the LED matrix headlight for a dazzling front end.

Alloy wheel designs range from 18 to 21 inches in diameter, while the drag coefficient comes in at 0.27.

Measuring 4649mm long, 1879mm wide and 1616mm tall with a 2765mm wheelbase, the Enyaq is slightly smaller than the Kodiaq, and plays in the medium SUV segment with boot capacity rated at 585 litres.

In lieu of traditional trim levels, Skoda is introducing a new method called ‘design selection’ – packages of trim and design elements made to suit various customer needs.

Inside, the cockpit is dominated by a 13-inch touchscreen – the largest of any Skoda – which can be operated through voice and gesture control, as well as the typical touch function.

Fifty iV grades get a 10-inch screen.

It pairs with a 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster, while a Canton sound system is available as an option.

The system is compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio and real-time traffic information.

Skoda will build the Enyaq at the Mlada Boleslav factory in its native Czech Republic.

Your loving daughter and son-in-law Julie and Shane

Christian Devotions

He Chose Wednesdays to Worry

J. Arthur Rank, an English executive, decided to do all his worrying on one day each week. He chose Wednesdays.

When anything happened that gave him anxiety and annoyed his ulcer, he would write it down and put it in his worry box and forget about it until next Wednesday.

The interesting thing was that on the following Wednesday when he opened his worry box, he found that most of the things that had disturbed him over the past six days were already settled. It would have been useless to have worried about them.

What a lesson for us to grasp. Apart from giving us ulcers, tying us up in knots and making us miserable what do we achieve by worrying? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Many times, as in our story today, what we were worrying about simply resolves itself. If you cannot change what is causing you to worry, why worry? Would it not be better to hand it over to someone who can do something about it?

As human beings, we find it easier to worry, more than we do, to hand our worries over to God. He not only knows the answers, He has the power to resolve the issues and He knows the best time to do it.

Instead of choosing Wednesdays, choose God! Why not write your worries down, take them to God in prayer and trust Him to work on your behalf and then tear the note up and file it in the round file, called rubbish bin!

He won’t let you down.

Surprise Baby firms

BY ANDREW DOWDELL

E

xciting Wimmera stayer Surprise Baby has firmed as favourite for this year’s Melbourne Cup after a slashing return to racing at the weekend.

Surprise Baby ran a gallant second to evergreen topliner Humidor in the JF Feehan Stakes at Moonee Valley on Saturday, just going under after enduring a tough run in which the gelding covered extra ground wide on the track.

A win would have secured the 2019 Adelaide Cup winner a ‘golden ticket’ into the Cox Plate next month, which trainer Paul Preusker had eyed as a lead-up race on the path to a second tilt at the Melbourne Cup. Surprise Baby finished fifth in last year’s Melbourne Cup behind Vow And Declare and has returned to racing as an improved horse according to Preusker’s partner and stable spokeswoman Holly McKechnie.

“I think off that run he is right on target, he is a more relaxed horse this time around,” McKechnie said.

She said Surprise Baby had thrived since Saturday’s race.

Surprise Baby had an exhibition gallop at the 2019 Horsham Cup meeting.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “He has pulled up really well, he is a very sound horse so there are no issues there.”

McKechnie, who was one of Victoria’s leading female jockeys for many years, said discussions were continuing as to whether Surprise Baby would target the 2000-metre Cox Plate on October

24, or the Caulfield Cup the week prior.

“Paul is discussing with the owner where he races next, so I can’t give any comment about that at this stage,” she said.

Bookmakers reduced Surprise Baby’s odds for the Melbourne Cup from $10 to $8.50 favourite

in early markets. Surprise Baby has only raced 12 times for five wins and prizemoney of $998,735.

Champion jockey Craig Williams, who won the 2019 Melbourne Cup, is likely to continue aboard Surprise Baby after being handed the reins for the first time in the Feehan Stakes.

Sport Runners ready Anticipation is building for three sport fanatics combining their efforts for a marathonlength run to help complete a funding appeal for Natimuk sporting clubs.

Nhill’s Damien Crouch, Bannockburn’s Thomas Rowe and Kalkee’s Hayley Thomas are gearing up to run a combined total of 50 kilometres to help raise money for Natimuk’s netball and tennis clubs.

The clubs are seeking state and federal government support to upgrade the shared netball and tennis courts, which are in ‘dire’ need of resurfacing.

The trio, despite having no affiliation with the Natimuk clubs, embarked on a funding campaign in mid-July to help raise $4000 for line marking when the resurfacing is completed.

On Saturday at 8am, they will relay around the Wimmera River to complete their campaign, which in less than two months has raised $3900.

“There’s been some donations come from all across the Wimmera – it’s been great to have the community getting behind it,” Mr Rowe said.

“It goes to show people are willing to invest in the community.”

The runners started the fundraising campaign as part of Wimmera Development Association’s Regional Leadership Skills program.

Mr Rowe said he wanted to find a way to help clubs after finding there were few grant opportunities available.

“We couldn’t see a clear direction in finding grants, so we’ve taken another pathway and that’s been really good so far,” he said.

Mr Rowe said he was grateful for sustained community support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s been really quite surprising to get as much support as we have,” he said.

“We were worried we wouldn’t reach the target because stage-three restrictions were reinstated, but we actually went really well.”

“It would be pretty cool to play AFLW. I would just love to play at that level. It would be nice to be picked up by any club”

ising Wimmera footballers Isabella Simmons and Maggie Caris will go under the sporting microscope later this year after winning invitations to attend AFLW and AFL National Draft Combines.

The girls, who play for Greater Western Victoria Rebels in the state’s under-18 and primary women’s pathway competition, are now awaiting word on times and venues for the elite assessment program.

Victorian combines have in the past occurred at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne but AFL Victoria is yet to confirm details based on COVID-19 limitations.

Simmons and Caris, both in year 12, also play in Western Victoria Female Football League, Simmons for Ararat Storm and Caris for Horsham Saints.

Caris, 17, who attends school at Ballarat Grammar and also has a history as an elite-level junior netballer, said getting the invitation to take part in the program was exciting.

“It’s just a great opportunity. I’m still playing netball and footy and will keep them going together for as long as I can.

I’ll wait and see what comes out of this year and see if I can still do both,” she said.

“Each state has announced players who have invites to attend combines and Victoria is the only one yet to confirm a date.

“Hopefully we will get some confirmation in the next few days.

“Whatever happens I’m still training and

SELECTION: Stawell’s Isabella Simmons, 18, is ‘super keen’ to attend an AFLW draft combine later this year. staying motivated. I have to stay fit and be training and match ready.”

Simmons, 18, who attends Stawell Secondary College, came up through under-14 ranks with Stawell in Wimmera league and also has a background in junior athletics.

A Vic Country representative, she has played for the Rebels for the past three years where she has consistently put her running midfield and ball-using ability on display.

The left-footer said she was looking forward to attending the Victorian combine.

“It is awesome to be recognised. I’m super keen to go and do the best I can and have fun,” she said.

“It is an amazing opportunity and would be really good experience if I could turn the opportunity into a reality.

“It would be pretty cool to play AFLW. I would just love to play at that level. It would be nice to be picked up by any club.”

AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon said AFL combines provided the setting for prospective AFL players to put their physical and psychological skills to the test.

“It’s also a place where AFL club recruiting staff members have a chance to have a general chat with prospective recruits from across the country,” he said.

The AFL announced 82 female and 96 male players invited to combine events across Australia.

Other Rebels Renee Saulitis and Alice Ashbury of Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree club and Nick Stevens and Harry Sharp, East Point, were also among invitees.

lue Ribbon Foundation Horsham branch members have spoken of the importance of community spirit through sport when society emerges from the COVID19 pandemic.

Horsham police officer, municipal councillor and long-time foundation member Les Power said sport would play an integral role in generating a return in community confidence.

“It will be reflective of the spirit we need to get through this,” he said.

Mr Power made the comments on confirmation the foundation would resume promotion and support of its Spirit of Sport Awards program for junior sport next year.

The Spirit of Sport Awards program rewards young participants in team sport for sportsmanship, fair play and mutual respect.

The program, which Mr Power has consistently promoted with the help of fellow officers and supporters, has been in place in Wimmera and Horsham District football and netball.

Each week during the season, under-17 netballers and footballers have received points based on their skill, sportsmanship and fair play.

From all matches in each competition, officials announce weekly winners and police officers present them with a Spirit of Sport Medal.

“Points accumulate throughout the season for end-of-year awards that can include player, team and coach-of-the-year accolades,” Mr Power said.

He said the categories ensured that every level in junior sport was linked to promoting fairness,

Les Power mutual respect and enjoyment of sport, rather than winning at all costs.

“Recognition and celebration of positive approaches by young people in our community will never be more important in the year or years ahead,” he said.

“Sport and physical activity also energises mental health in children.

“This also affects their parents because they see their kids fit, healthy and happy. This encourages everyone and is important.

“And when we get back to playing community sport, the sporting environment will provide a wonderful opportunity for young people to set the example.”
