WE CAN’T WAIT! Billie Combe and her sons, from left, Oscar, year one, Thomas, year three, and Jack, year five, of Horsham, are delighted with news students will soon be going back to classroom learning as part of a gradual easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Mrs Combe said her family was ‘very’ excited after hearing students in grades prep to year two and years 11 and 12 would return to school on May 26 and others in years three to 10 on June 9. “We’ve all had enough of being at home,” she said.

Leaders: Be patient M

BY DEAN LAWSON

unicipal leaders across the region have urged their communities to continue being patient as the state starts easing its way out of COVID-19 restrictions.

Mayors joined a chorus in urging people of the Wimmera, southern Mallee and eastern Grampians fringe to remain vigilant in following statewide health advice.

They made the call as Premier Daniel Andrews announced the first move in a gradual easing of State of Emer-

gency rules and following up with student return-to-school timelines.

Under a revised set of guidelines, Victorians must continue to stay at home unless shopping for essentials, exercising, providing care, or work or education if they cannot do it from home.

From today people can also have up to five guests visit their homes, but the State Government wants people to avoid making social visits to friends and family that require overnight stays – unless visitors are providing care, including babysitting, or supporting someone vulnerable.

Outdoor activities such as training for community sport, hiking, fishing, boating and playing golf are now allowed but in groups of no more than 10.

Parks Victoria was waiting to release details involving national and state parks reopening for day trips.

Recreation activities in indoor sporting centres are still banned.

Students will start returning to Victorian schools for classroom learning from May 26, starting with prep, grade one and two and Victorian Certificate of Education and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning and

specialist-school students. All other year levels will return on June 9.

Horsham mayor Mark Radford said people needed to stay vigilant.

“Life is going to be different for a little while longer. Patience is the key,” he said.

“Our community performed exceptionally well and business innovation has been amazing.

“To say it’s been inspirational isn’t an exaggeration. But for some it has also been a devastating time.

“Having a little more freedom to visit people can only be a good thing – but in the back of our minds there are

many who remain a little bit nervous.

This is uncharted territory.”

Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson said he understood the government’s cautious approach.

“It’s better to be alive and well than going out and getting sick. It’s business as usual for many of the restrictions and we have to put up with them for a little longer and see how it goes,” he said.

“It’s a wonderful step that we can now visit the people who mean the most to us, but we must recognise we are not out of the woods yet.”

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

W

hen Louise Bellizzi conceived unexpectedly, she had grand plans of becoming ‘one of those green-smoothie-drinking mums who went to antenatal yoga and basked in the glow of pregnancy’.

Louise had already come to terms with doctors telling her she was unlikely to fall pregnant naturally after trying for more than a year.

She and her fiancé Alex Yates were not bothered how they started a family, they just knew they were ready to.

Louise and Alex had completed two of three permanent care and adoption training sessions when they discovered they were already expecting their first child together.

For the first three weeks, they were ecstatic.

Then Louise started to feel sick.

At first, she thought it was standard morning sickness.

She put it down to the stress of a big move, after she and Alex bought their first home together, in Horsham.

The nausea and vomiting ramped up, landing Louise in Wimmera Base Hospital for medication and replacement fluids. She was admitted to Yandilla maternity ward and told she had hyperemesis gravidarum.

Hyperemesis gravidarum, or HG, is a potentially life-threatening pregnancy disease that can cause malnutrition, dehydration and debility due to severe nausea and vomiting.

It affects about one percent of pregnancies and can result in long-term health issues for mother and baby.

In severe cases, women can be sick up to 50 times a day.

The condition can also lead to mental-health issues including depression and anxiety, along with financial stresses due to an inability to work.

“What should have been an exciting – yet terrifying – and joyous time in our lives became a burden and a scary, lonesome and isolating experience,” Louise said.

“I had to reduce my hours at work significantly and eventually, I ended up needing to stop work altogether.

“I was largely incapacitated. I wasn’t able to function and some days I couldn’t even handle getting out of bed.

“I went from being a working, functioning part of the community to virtually being locked up in a new house.

I had very little contact with people, I was isolated, alone and scared.

“Financially, it was also incredibly hard. I was on unpaid sick leave, we were reliant on Alex’s wage. The medication I needed wasn’t subsidised, we

had a mortgage and bills to pay and were trying to buy baby stuff in between. It was extremely difficult.”

Louise’s pregnancy had additional complications and she ended up in Melbourne’s Mercy Hospital for Women.

“I was a long way from home and that was even worse. I felt so isolated,” she said.

“In early pregnancy I had considered terminating because of how severe my condition was. A lot of people who have hyperemesis gravidarum either have a termination, or consider it.

“It is not regular morning sickness.

“I lost my dignity – it’s hard to maintain that when your fiancé becomes your carer to help you dress, shower and get out of bed.

“Alex was very, very, very supportive, but he was also suffering because he didn’t know what to do – he was scared for me and our unborn baby.

“I tried being grateful for being pregnant, because Lord knows there are people who can’t get pregnant.

“But I hated being pregnant and I couldn’t be grateful for a long time.”

End date

Louise said when her doctor gave her an induction date, there was a small light at the end of the tunnel.

“I had an end date – something I could hold onto,” she said.

“In my mind, by this date, I would feel better. Being induced was a lifesaver.”

Madeline Audrey Alyssa Rose entered the world on January 9, 2019.

She was perfect, but Louise was not out of the woods yet.

“I had complications after birth and I needed surgery at three, five and eight

weeks post-birth,” she said. “It was a very painful experience.

“I was one of the unlucky ones, whose HG stuck around a couple of months postpartum. It was quite hard to deal with, both mentally and physically.

“On top of all that, I was struggling to bond with Madeline.”

Louise said she turned to PANDA – Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia – for help.

“I used the heck out of them, they were wonderful,” she said.

“Sadly, perinatal and maternal mental health are still very stigmatised and not talked about.”

Up to one in 10 women and one in 20 men experience antenatal depression, with symptoms ranging from persistent, generalised worry and panic attacks to feeling constantly sad or ‘on edge’.

“As a parent, you feel like you’ve got to hold it together. But if one person can say, ‘this is really tough for me’, then hopefully it encourages other people to seek help,” Louise said.

“I want people to know there is help available and not to feel ashamed about needing it.”

Louise said she felt guilty throughout pregnancy and for the first few months of Madeline’s life.

“You hear of mums doing things with their babies, like talking to them and singing to them when they are still in their tummies, but I didn’t bond with my baby like that,” she said.

“You hear about the immediate bond between mother and child after the birth and I didn’t have that either.

“I felt really, really guilty for a while.

“These days I’m trying hard to be a lot more gentle with myself and acknowledge that I had a really rough time.”

Louise said through support from Alex, friends and mental-health services she had come to realise some things take time.

“I think it’s important to note that even if you don’t bond straight away, you still love them – even if you’re not really feeling that connection,” she said.

“Mads was always safe and secure and loved, even while I was struggling.

“When she hit the five-month mark I really started to bond with her. I finally felt like her mum.”

Madeline turned 16 months on Saturday and she and her mother are now ‘as thick as thieves’.

“She is very cheeky, inquisitive and clever. We love seeing her little personality shine through,” Louise said.

“Being Madeline’s mother is everything I wanted it to be and more. It is an absolute joy. Yes, it is very hard sometimes, but it can be for all parents.”

Helping others Louise said now she was ‘99 percent back to herself’ she wanted to use her experience to help other women.

She recently became involved with Hyperemesis Gravidarum Australia as a peer-support volunteer.

“I have been matched with a sufferer and I’ve been in contact with her daily for the past couple of weeks,” Louise said.

“I want to be able to help walk others through the process. If I could help even one woman have a better experience than I did, it would make my absolute day.’’

Friday is International Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Day. “There is a lot of misinformation about what hyperemesis gravidarum is,” Louise said.

“A lot of people are not getting appropriate treatment because of the belief it is just morning sickness and it will go away. But it doesn’t and it impacts every area of your life.”

Call for patience From page 1 Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong added that for the measures to continue to produce results people needed to work together.

“We remain stronger together and we must encourage one another to do the right thing for the greater good,” she said.

Yarriambiack mayor Graeme Massey and his Hindmarsh counterpart Rob Gersch said easing back towards degrees of normality was important.

“I believe small steps are better than large strides at the moment. Hopefully the next three weeks will sort things out. Be patient and keep following instructions,” Cr Massey said.

Cr Gersch: “The main thing is we don’t pull all the restrictions too early. We’ve done the hard yards and must stick it out. If there was a recall for stricter rules it would be disastrous.”

West Wimmera mayor Bruce Meyer described the change as ‘a start’.

“There will be a lot of people happy to get out and have a fish or play golf. It’s been pretty tough in the regions having city rules applying to everyone,” he said.

“We’ll be looking for wider restrictions easing, particularly where there is no presence of the virus.”

What people can and cannot do as part of the gradual easing of restrictions is outlined in detail on website www. dhhs.vic.gov.au/gradual-easing-restrictions-covid-19.

The number of official COVID-19 cases in the Wimmera-Mallee remained unchanged at seven yesterday but Ararat had an increase of four to an overall figure of five. This was based on four positive results from prisoners at Hopkins Correctional Centre that subsequently returned negative results.

Based on testing results, there are no official active COVID-19 cases in Ararat, Horsham, Northern Grampians, Yarriambiack, West Wimmera, Hindmarsh, Buloke or Pyrenees shires.

Rural confidence T

might be people looking to sell in the future.”

Mr Thomas said larger scale farms were increasingly dominating the Wimmera market.

“It’s supply and demand, the more people want to get into the market the more the price is going to be driven up – it’s going to be driven up because of the big farmers getting bigger and the smaller farmers just not being able to compete,” he said.

“A lot of bigger farms are able to pay the bigger dollars and outbid others.”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

he median price for agricultural land in the Wimmera-Mallee is at an all-time high, while interest rates are down despite uncertainty amid COVID-19.

Rural Bank’s annual Farmland Values report for 2020 shows a 31.9percent increase in the median price of farmland per hectare in the northwest, the largest increase in Victoria.

It comes after a strong Wimmera harvest in 2019-20, but is likely the result of less land on offer, low interest rates and ever-increasing demand.

Family farms continue to be the main buyers of property, outbidding smaller players in the market.

A favourable harvest and strong livestock prices likely gave larger farms greater confidence, leading to more land leasing purchases.

Rural Bank Horsham’s senior agribusiness relationship manager Marc Thomas said Wimmera farmers looking to expand likely led to greater demand, driving up the median price for land in the Wimmera.

“With clients wanting to grow, they’re going to need more land to do so. There’s been a lot of farmers diversifying with their land holdings to try to buy into higher rainfall districts or more consistent rainfall areas,” he said.

“The past couple of years we’ve seen very high rates of land turning over. When you go to an auction the rooms are fairly well full, 70 percent of the people at the auction

ation chief executive Chris Sounness said annual report findings confirmed confidence in the Wimmera’s agricultural industry.

“There’s always a lot of buyers chasing land and not a lot of it for sale,” he said.

“The reality is grain farming and livestock farming is profitable for a lot of people.

“Agriculture is well situated – if there’s land on the market, there will always be two or three people trying to grow their businesses.”

Mr Sounness said increased confidence in agriculture typically led to more certainty across the whole market, including unrelated businesses.

“Agriculture is a major economic driver. Seeing the strong land prices, I think, increases confidence in our region,” he said.

“The reality is, if our agriculture businesses have a good year, it does boost confidence through all unrelated businesses as well.”

Mr Sounness said although it was hard to make any further market predictions through COVID-19, he hoped increased confidence in agriculture would lead to broader interest in farmland across the Wimmera-Mallee.

“In the Wimmera-Mallee it’s always been family farms, there isn’t a lot of corporate farmland compared with some regions,” he said.

“It would be interesting to see if that changes over time because we have highly productive soils, a great climate and we’re a great place to live – so, we’ll see what happens in the future.”

Increased buying

Mr Thomas said low interest rates and high lease costs were contributing to an increased preference of buying land over leasing.

“Higher lease prices are probably more exorbitant now than they have been in the past,” he said.

“A lot of people are coming into the market wanting to buy because it gives them certainty.

“If you have a large portion of your farm as leased land and suddenly lose a couple of leases, that severely impacts your ability to farm at the level that you were. It’s hard to replace as well because you don’t know when the next parcel of leased land will become available.”

Mr Thomas said early predictions were demand would remain high in 2020.

“I can’t see that land prices are going to decline at all. The demand is still there and agriculture is still going strong, despite what’s going on in the world right now,” he said.

Jonty blown away by support Horsham youngster Jonty Blair was blown away by community support of his decision to lose his luscious locks for charity.

Jonty, 10, has sported a mullet for most of his life and even travelled to New South Wales in February to participate in a festival celebrating the iconic hairstyle.

Upon his return, Jonty decided to ditch his mullet – measuring 30 centimetres long – for a good cause.

Jonty set himself a target of raising $1000 for the Mark Hughes Foundation, which supports brain cancer victims and their families.

He ended up raising almost $2500.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Jonty said.

“I didn’t expect to raise that much money. It was really exciting.”

Jonty’s hairdresser, Hayley Mellington of Hair Event, did the honours.

“It went awesome,” Jonty said.

“We did a live stream on Facebook and it was a lot of fun.

“It feels strange now, because when I go to whip my hair back, I can’t feel it.”

Jonty said he would like to be involved in another charity event in the future.

“I’m not sure what yet,” he said.

“I would like to thank everyone who donated to my fundraiser, it has been such a great experience.”

Go-ahead for West Side plan

A

$2-million venture designed to secure the future of harness and thoroughbred racing in Horsham is about to get underway.

Contractors have the go-ahead to start extending West Side Horsham in a project that will almost double the size of the Horsham Racing Centre building.

The redevelopment, a partnership project between Horsham Harness Racing Club and Wimmera Racing Club, has been about six years in the making.

It involves establishing a new northern-entrance gaming room, bistro, kitchen and racecourse-facing dinning for between 80 and 90 diners, and enhanced facilities for people with disabilities.

The centre’s traditional gaming room will expand to become a major sports bar.

West Side board chairman Kevin Lane said expectations were that the new gaming room and bistro would open by the end of January, 2021.

“The sports bar will take another month to fit out and hopefully be ready by early February,” he said.

“We’re hoping the overall project will be completed in early March.

“We would love to see West Side become the ‘local’ for dining, TAB and bar facilities for Horsham West people as well as a major hospitality development for Horsham.

“We have never been able to offer a dining experience and this will be a great facility where people can dine, have a bet or play the pokies.

“It will be the only venue in town to have the three.”

Mr Lane said the development

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER would also strengthen Horsham Racing Centre’s position as a major sporting centre.

“We’ve had a few little delays but we’ve signed contracts, everything is approved and we’ve told the builders to start,” he said.

The clubs and the State Government, through its Victorian Racing Infrastructure Fund, have provided the money for the venture.

Mr Lane, a long-time Horsham harness-racing official, said considerable effort had gone into putting money away and pursuing funding opportunities.

“There has been a hell of a lot of work from board members to make this happen,” he said.

“The idea is to drought-proof the two clubs and as funding gets tighter and tougher we have the opportunity to help ourselves. It means we’re not always depending on the racing dollar.”

Horsham harness and Horsham and District racing clubs, with support from their respective racing agencies, built West Side Horsham at Horsham racecourse in 1996.

A board involving representatives from both clubs oversaw the centre

Friends sell flowers for charity A group of Horsham friends has continued a Mother’s Day tradition, selling about 250 bunches of flowers to raise money for oncology services.

Enid King said she and a group of ladies had been growing, bunching and selling flowers for charity for about five years.

“We started doing it to raise money for a Relay for Life team and when the Rachel’s Wish campaign started to raise $1-million for a Wimmera cancer centre, we started raising money for that,” she said.

“It’s not through any group or organisation, it’s just a group of ladies who enjoy getting together to help a charity.

“We didn’t think we would do it this Mother’s Day because of the way things are with the coronavirus, but people were still keen to do it.”

Mrs King said the group only decided to continue the tradition a week before Mother’s Day. “We usually promote it, but we ran out of time,” she said.

“We ended up selling a lot of the bunches online, through Horsham Buy, Swap and Sell, and also through the Bennett Road shop.

“We would like to thank everyone who bought the flowers for Mother’s Day. “We really appreciate the continued support.

“Without it, we wouldn’t be able to keep doing what we’ve been doing.”

Mrs King said the group was thrilled with this year’s total, raising $1355 for Wimmera Cancer Centre.

“We usually have quite a few people helping because there is a lot of work involved,” she said.

“We have a little roster of people who help pick, bunch and sell the flowers. We only had about seven people this year though.

“Everybody enjoys doing it and it’s lovely company.

“I say we will probably do it again next year.”

before the Horsham club joined Wimmera Racing Club and handed over control to the new entity.

Wimmera Racing Club has retained its share of ownership of the centre and the board is now made up of four harness racing and four Wimmera racing representatives.

“We’re all honorary board members.

All money generated from the venue goes straight back into racing and supporting racing in the region,” Mr Lane said.

“This will strengthen harness and thoroughbred racing in Horsham.”

Event loss hits hard Event cancellations due to COVID-19 have cost the Wimmera and southern Mallee more than $15-million.

The figures come from a Wimmera Development Association analysis of 40 events scheduled between March 22 and May 31.

Health advice and social distancing forced organisers to cancel or postpone plans due to COVID-19.

Event organisers advised cancellations cost the region $15.392-million in direct and a further $7-million in indirect spending.

They said their groups lost more than $800,000 in direct revenue and more than $120,000 in surplus.

The cancellations also affected almost 60,000 participants.

More than 20 of the community, cultural and sporting events the association surveyed had been scheduled for Horsham municipality, with Northern Grampians having seven and Yarriambiack, six.

These included annual drawcards such as the Stawell Gift, Grampians Grape Escape and Horsham Country Music Festival.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said the region had a vibrant autumn events calendar, centred on Easter.

“Events are an important part of the Wimmera community, playing a major role in bringing people together and attracting visitors to the region,” he said.

“Early into the response to COVID-19, we realised the cancellation of these events was going to have huge impacts in our region – financially and socially – and these results paint a powerful picture of that impact.”

The benefits of living in our patch I

s the end in sight? Maybe, maybe not just yet!

That seems to be a general message sifting through our communities as the State Government takes a tentative first step in easing COVID-19 restrictions.

The move forward, as minimal as it might seem to many, comes as welcome relief for a society that amid the fear and threat of the virus, has, as one person put it, ‘simply had enough’.

The truth is we have a fair way to go to declare victory over this pandemic, but some of this week’s changes promise to reinvigorate important elements of regional life missing during the lockdown.

Importantly, in our part of the world at least, we have renewed opportunity

to soak up some of the features and freedoms we might have historically taken for granted.

As long as we continue to observe social-distancing and hygiene rules we can again, at last, enjoy our great outdoors.

We can go fishing again. And even for people who haven’t been fishing for years or since they were children, this activity, with all the tangled lines, smelly worms and a frustratingly lack of fish on the bite, suddenly seems like a great idea.

Boating, hiking, visiting the Grampians or Mt Arapiles and other parkland or simply going for a drive – we can do this in the confines of a day’s outing without needing to stay overnight and break any rules – because it is available on our own doorstep.

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson

Added to this is the relief in sight for mums, dads and carers who, in trying to keep children occupied and studying, have desperately looked for a return of classroom learning.

In this time of crisis, it is important to celebrate little victories while at the same time acknowledge that we must continue to be patient, consider the bigger picture and act responsibly.

Have we had it tough? You bet we have and the wounds to society will remain open and in need of constant

treatment deep into the foreseeable future.

But in living in the Wimmera, southern Mallee, Grampians and other regional areas, we have obvious advantages and opportunities.

We can groan, go crook about the lack of all sorts of services and perceived regular neglect by our leaders in Spring Street.

But the reality is we live in a great part of the country.

When we feel like the world is closing in on us, which has regularly happened to many of late, and perhaps feel a need to thumb our nose at restrictions, consider for a moment the experience of others around the globe.

The virus has killed tens of thousands of people and as a result crippled once-vibrant communities.

These are communities that would now envy our position.

Horsham mayor Mark Radford put much of this into perspective in revealing circumstances surrounding extended family living in France.

He said family members, for many months, had been allowed to leave their house for only one hour a day.

When they went anywhere they were subsequently checked regularly for details about where they lived and the time they left their house.

We have only briefly tasted this type of environment and want to avoid going anywhere near it again.

Let’s enjoy our renewed freedoms over this ‘bug’, albeit as gradual as they are, but let’s continue to tread carefully.

SIR, – In reference to the story ‘Fresh Opportunity’, The Weekly Advertiser, May 6, regarding Hindmarsh Shire Council mayor Rob Gersch’s belief a desire for ‘quality of life’ will open a growth opportunity door for the Wimmera-Mallee.

This is why we opened Golden Wattle Visas, a physical and internet business in Jeparit.

We prefer our office up here because we can still work with clients while having quality of life in Jeparit.

We do not have to have a business that makes millions. People’s lives are more important than money.

Professional services not able to be run from Jeparit is not true. Even a small home business can be run from anywhere.

We have internet here that is better than what we get in Melbourne.

They do not call Jeparit ‘Jeparadise’ for no reason.

It is a paradise for families, singles, businesses and we live where people love coming for a holiday too!

Work to live. Do not live to work.

Yes we have an office in Melbourne but no way can it compare with the office we have in Jeparit.

Quality is far better than quantity.

Rob asked us, ‘why Jeparit?’ when we first moved up here years ago.

We moved here for the land, river, four miles of beach, the small town, the air, the community, to have a life and be all that we can be. Jeparadise!

Art is… Still happening A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Horsham art festival created by artists for artists will forge ahead online this year.

Celebrating its 25th annual festival, organisers of Art is… spent more than a year planning to deliver a 10-day 2020 festival ‘Art is… Unexpected’.

This year the festival, now titled ‘Art is… Still happening’, will span the whole of winter in a reduced online program due to COVID-19.

Festival directors have teamed up with artists including Horsham’s Nichola Clarke and poet Amy Bodossian to deliver art and poetry workshops online via Zoom.

A key feature of the festival, Galleries on the Side, where artists display their work in the windows of Horsham businesses, will go ahead through an online gallery.

Horsham artist Amabile Dalfarra-Smith is contributing her COVID19-themed art to the gallery this year.

Her latest collection, which will be on display at Horsham’s Framewave Picture Framing, is of empty Italian city streets during the pandemic.

This differs slightly from her usual style of painting, where she creates semi-realistic images of people, open landscapes and nature incorporating some abstract elements.

Smith used Milan and Venice as her point of reference.

She said the fact two of the most densely populated European cities were stripped bare of people at the outset of the pandemic was bizarre.

“It’s quite different to what I normally do,” she said.

“These images were my first response to when I saw Italy go into lockdown.”

The artist has family ties in Italy, having travelled there herself many times.

“I thought it was really surreal. I was in Italy last year. It’s usually crowded and teeming with people, to see it with no people just blew my mind,” she said.

“In 1983, I went to Venice in December, around Christmas. It was minus-10 degrees and there was hardly anyone there – it was absolutely stunning, just gorgeous.

“With lockdowns I was really concerned for my relatives who live in northern Italy. I’ve got elderly relatives, although they’re fine because they live fairly remotely.”

Smith, preparing to take part in Galleries on the Side for the second time, said she was excited to display her new pieces and hoped it would bring attention to Horsham businesses that were

suffering through COVID-19.

“It brings attention to certain spaces and gives people who are interested in art a chance to support artists,” she said.

“In these times it’s going to be a positive thing for retailers. It will give them promotion – all the retailers have suffered incredibly because of this virus.”

Festival manager Sarah Natali said after more than a year of planning she wanted to continue with the festival.

“The festival turns 25 this year, so we didn’t want to cancel,” she said.

“I’m making it available and accessible so people who are socially isolated can connect.

“The Art is… festival, starting in 1995, is why Horsham has such a good art scene – other towns of this size wouldn’t have this.”

Ms Natali encouraged the whole

community to get involved in Galleries on the Side and the workshops she is planning to deliver throughout winter.

“We’re all about participation and community engagement,” she said.

“This is a co-creative festival, anyone can do anything for Art is…, they just have to be prepared to deliver it.

“It’s about making art that’s fresh, bringing people together, developing artists skills through bringing quality artists to the region and providing professional development opportunities for our artists so they don’t have to travel out of the region.”

Art is… will also be teaming up with Horsham Agricultural Society to display work created through the festival at the 2020 Horsham Show, which is also expected to be delivered online.

People can visit www.artiswimmera. com for festival updates.

‘Celebrities’ on Sunrise Several Horsham residents enjoyed 15 minutes of fame on Monday morning, with the Wimmera city featuring on popular breakfast television show, Sunrise.

Sunrise weather presenter Sam Mac has been running a virtual A to Z tour of Australia and Horsham represented the letter H. Sallie Koenig led a campaign to get Horsham on the show under the banner ‘Horsham Helps’.

Mrs Koenig, one of several residents to appear on the program via video conference, said Horsham had a wonderful community that deserved to be celebrated.

“That’s why we campaigned so hard,” she said.

“People need to come see our amazing sunsets, the Wimmera River and support our small businesses.

“We just need something positive after all this sadness to get things happening again.”

New councillor Dr Bernadine Atkinson has joined Ararat Rural City Council.

Dr Atkinson joins the council after a Victorian Electoral Commission countback of votes last week.

Returning Officer Katrina Collins declared the result after the countback, based on an October 2016 general council election.

Only candidates unsuccessful at the general election and who were still eligible to be elected were included in the countback process.

The ‘extraordinary vacancy’ arose due to the resignation of Cr David Pettman.

Grant wins for Natimuk, Horsham N

atimuk district community has had a major win with a community pavilion at Natimuk Showground earmarked for a major upgrade.

The Federal Government has allocated almost $500,000 for the project in $1.099-million in funding for Mallee electorate agricultural show societies.

Horsham is also a winner, with the government allocating $125,000 for upgrade work at Maydale Reserve in Horsham Showground.

Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth said the money would go towards a major re-fit of a kitchen, roof, ceiling lining, air-conditioning and carpet at the pavilion.

“It’s a complete makeover of the building except for the toilets. These renovations will ensure the pavilion meets current health and safety regulations,” she said.

“The Natimuk society owns the land but the broad benefit is for the Natimuk community and all the community and sporting groups that regu-

CLASSIC CONTINUES: Like many events, the Mother’s Day Classic looked a lot different this year, as people continued to socially distance to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The Horsham committee ran a ‘virtual’ event on Sunday, encouraging Wimmera people to complete the annual four-kilometre run or walk on their own terms to raise money for breast cancer research.

Lisa Cosson from Planet Feel Good again ran a warm-up session, this time via video-conferencing platform Zoom. Committee members, including Janine English, pictured on Anzac Centenary Bridge, donned pink to complete the usual Horsham classic course alongside the Wimmera River.

Committee member Jackie Exell said she looked forward to welcoming people back to Sawyer Park for next year’s event.

She said people could still donate online at mothersdayclassic.com.au.

larly use the showground – for weddings, funerals, football and netball and school sports days. It’s a massive win for the community.”

Mrs Bysouth said some of the money would also go to developing digital virtual-reality show attractions.

“This part is really exciting. We have world-renowned expertise in Natimuk in this field, where opportunities have and can be further explored using multimedia platforms,” she said.

Mrs Bysouth said the society had worked with Horsham Rural City Council to secure an $80,000 10-year loan as part of its contribution to the project.

She said planning was now underway for next year’s annual Natimuk Show and for a milestone 130th show in 2022, which would be in conjunction with Back to Natimuk celebrations.

The money for Horsham Agricultural Society will go towards works to assess power supply and install additional power outlets at Maydale Reserve.

It will also help with costs to upgrade outdoor lighting, construct a

Cohuna and District Agricultural Pastoral and Horticultural Society is also a Mallee electorate society to attract money through the Region-

al Agricultural Show Development Grants program.

Cohuna society will use $475,000 to replace a pavilion at Cohuna Recreation Reserve.

Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said the grants would be

of benefit to both agricultural show societies and regional communities.

“Agricultural shows are the heart and soul of our regional communities.

They bring and keep communities together, bridge the divide between country and city and provide a key injection into the local economy,” he said.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster said the grants would help make three shows across Mallee bigger and better than ever.

“The annual agricultural show is always a big event, and thanks to this grant our next one will be better than ever,” she said.

“A range of infrastructure works, from small-scale upgrades to major overhauls and new builds will benefit not only our shows, but our communities throughout the year and in emergency situations like we saw with the recent bushfires.

“I want to see our shows continue to grow in popularity and bridge the divide between country and city.”

The Mallee funding is part of a national $20-million program for 122 agricultural show societies. sponsored by

Online expo brings benefits

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

O

rganisers of country Victoria’s largest careers expo believe both exhibitors and attendees will benefit from changes due to the coronavirus pandemic.

About 2000 people attend the Western Victorian Careers Expo each year to learn about employment, training and further education opportunities.

Due to bans on public gatherings to help stop the spread of COVID-19, Wimmera and Southern Mallee Careers Association will run the 2020 expo, on June 23, entirely online.

Expo project officer Annie Mintern said the committee had decided to move the event online to ensure young people in western Victoria could continue to receive full careers support despite remote-learning arrangements.

“Preparations are going really well – way better than I expected considering the current circumstances,” she said.

“When changes happen to events you usually get less participation, but we’ve actually found the opposite.”

Ms Mintern said rather than reducing the scope of the expo, the committee was expanding the number of seminars on offer.

“We have actually had an increase in interest. We have more in the webinar format than we have ever had,” she said.

“There are a lot of people who might not or don’t usually attend because it’s too far. For example, Australian National University in Canberra has contacted me about being involved, which is someone we usually wouldn’t get because of the distance.

“It’s really good for the students.”

Ms Mintern said the annual expo attracted more than 100 exhibitors, including representatives from further education providers, along with businesses and industries that took on apprentices.

“Federation University is a major sponsor. They always have a physical seminar room and will have a virtual room this year, offering different course information throughout the day,” she said.

“There will also be lots of information about apprenticeships because there is a large cohort of people who do go down that path.

“Our expo is a bit unique because a lot of others focus on year 12 and what students are going to do when they finish school.”

Ms Mintern said the Western Victorian Careers Expo was the major platform for information and advice for students in years nine and 10 in the Wimmera and southern Mallee.

“Historically we have the expo in the last week of term two so students can pick their subjects in term three,” she said.

“A lot of expos don’t provide the pathway information that we do.

“You don’t want to finish high school only to discover you needed to do a certain subject to get into the course you want, so that pathway information is very important.”

Open mind

Edenhope’s Miranda Rose thought she would study a Bachelor of Arts at a Melbourne university when she finished school.

She is now studying an Advanced Diploma of Agribusiness Management

WEALTH OF OPPORTUNITIES: Horsham Youth Council member Miranda Rose will discuss her career pathway during the online 2020 Western Victorian Careers Expo.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER and a Diploma of Agronomy at Longererong College.

Ms Rose will share her experience on a Horsham Youth Council panel during the expo.

“I had a goal to go to university in Melbourne and do a course,” she said.

“I was set on that for about two and a half years through school and I ended up doing the complete opposite of that when I finished.

“As soon as I left school, I realised how many opportunities existed outside of going to university.

“I want to encourage young people to have an open mind and set numerous goals rather than just one.”

Ms Rose said she was excited about

the online format. “It will be really interesting to see how it pans out,” she said.

“I almost think maybe more people will get involved because it’s so much more accessible. They don’t have to travel to Horsham or the field days site to actually attend the expo. I feel like we might get more attention.”

Ms Mintern encouraged people to follow @westernviccareers on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to keep up to date with event information.

Exhibitor registrations close on Friday. People can email admin@ wimmeracareersexpo.com or call Annie Mintern on 0419 300 405 to register.

Rural roads upgraded A combination of Horsham Rural City Council operations team members and contractors have completed two major rural road projects at opposite ends of the municipality.

At Bungalally, teams have reconstructed and widened more than two kilometres of Green Lake Road in response to resident reports of surface unevenness and safety issues for agricultural vehicles.

The widening of the road to four metres with a two-metre shoulder on both sides means it now has a consistent width and can support the safe passing of heavy vehicles.

The council invested $208,416 and the State Government matched the contribution for the project.

In the northwest corner of the municipality, two sections of WailKalkee Road have significantly improved.

Teams rebuilt and widened it from 3.7 metres to 6.2 metres with two-metre shoulders along separate sections near Wail East School Road and the Wail-Dooen Road intersection.

Council infrastructure director John Martin said Wail-Kalkee Road was a key link for heavy-vehicle traffic from the Western Highway near Dimboola through to Wimmera Intermodal Freight Terminal.

Mr Martin said the $317,256 upgrade, jointly funded by the State Government, came from a suggested priority at a 2018 council Kalkee Community Conversation meeting.

Money for biosecurity Representatives from Victoria’s farming community can apply for State Government grants aimed at developing innovative solutions to strengthen livestock biosecurity.

Grants are available for projects that provide innovative solutions, use emerging technologies and resolve livestock biosecurity issues and needs or gaps for industries to prevent, monitor and control diseases in Victorian livestock.

Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes launched the Livestock Biosecurity Funds Grant Program, designed to benefit Victoria’s cattle, sheep, goat, pig and honeybee industries.

“Biosecurity is fundamental to the wellbeing and prosperity of our agricultural sector,” she said.

“Exotic pests and diseases can threaten this, so we need to be proactive in developing the best defences possible.

“We have a track record in Victoria in identifying and managing biosecurity risks, but we are always facing new threats. This grants program will help us meet those emerging challenges.”

Applications are invited from the private sector, universities and research institutions, co-operatives and local government.

This year’s grant program includes new guidelines that identify priority investment areas, as well as a new online application process.

Grants have previously funded projects such as anthrax vaccinations for swine, significant disease-investigation training for veterinarians and educational events for peri-urban producers.

Applications are open until June 26. Further details on how to apply can be found at agriculture.vic.gov.au/livestockbiosecurityfunds.

Applications call Member for Mallee Anne Webster has urged organisations across her electorate to apply for funding through a national Road Safety Innovation program.

Dr Webster said applications had opened for the first round of the $12-million program for groups with an interest in road-safety research and development.

“Improving road safety is something our entire community can contribute to,” she said.

“Road crashes have an enormous emotional and economic impact on all affected communities, but particularly the families and friends of the victims.

“Innovation and technology are key tools that can help reduce the number of road crashes by ensuring road safety becomes ‘business as usual’ for all road users here in Mallee.”

The first round of the fund has $2-million available for projects across the country to run during the next four years.

The first round of applications closes on Monday.

Further information, including application guidelines and submissions, is available online at www.grants.gov.au.

There’s a new Woolly in town...

A day of acceptance W

BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera advocacy groups are planning online celebrations for a globally recognised day to reflect on progress and raise awareness of the violence and discrimination against LGBTIQ communities worldwide.

People are being encouraged to join Wimmera LGBTIQ communities to celebrate International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia, IDAHOBIT, on Sunday.

For many, May 17 recognises past and present discrimination the minority groups have faced for many generations.

For this year’s theme, ‘Breaking the Silence’, Wimmera Pride Project plans to host a Netflix watch party on Sunday featuring LGBTIQ films, while the LGBTIQ Regional Network plans to raise a rainbow flag in Ararat, St Arnaud and Stawell on Friday.

In addition, Stawell Regional Health will paint the footpath entry to the hospital in rainbow colours.

Wimmera Pride Project secretary Renae Bartlett and fellow committee member Vixen Arrowsmith both stand strongly in solidarity with the LGBTIQ community.

Both joined the group more than a year

ago with a vision of helping people who feel socially isolated because of their identity.

Ms Bartlett is an ally to the LGBTIQ community, supporting her transgender son Zac, who recently transitioned.

She said IDAHOBIT was an important reminder of the hardships LGBTIQ people have faced.

“It’s a great day to celebrate being part of the LGBTIQ community, but it’s a day that also recognises there is still some work to be done,” she said.

“People in that community still have poorer health outcomes than the general community – that’s not because of their identity. A lot of that is about stigma and feeling like they need to conceal who they are, there’s a lot of stress associated with that.”

Open invitation

Ms Bartlett encouraged more people to join or support Wimmera Pride Project.

“We invite people to get involved with us, come to meetings, be a part of us – you don’t have to identify as LGBTIQ to attend our events,” she said.

“We want to keep growing and find ways of inviting the community to join us and continue growing our community.

Weekly Wool Market

“It’s an amazing thing being a part of the LGBTIQ community, and we want to be accepted as part of the community.”

Vixen, 19, joined the group in 2019 with the intention of helping others become comfortable in their own skin.

Vixen, who identifies as transmasculine non-binary, said IDAHOBIT strongly resonated with their journey.

“IDAHOBIT just reminds me of how far I’ve come in my journey and how far I have to go, despite all the discrimination there is and has been in my journey,” they said.

“I see it as a reminder that I can do this and be myself – the future is brighter, there’s definitely less and less discrimination.”

Vixen said the group wanted to reach as many people in the community as possible who might be feeling socially isolated.

“We want to create an even larger community, not just Horsham based, but reach out to other regional towns and other cities where they might not have the same thing,” they said.

“Our passion for the same cause is what brings us together. We all have our own lived experiences and even though our experiences vary, we still have each other’s back.”

The Australian wool market has continued to deteriorate this week, as prices continued to fall across the country. 11.8% of the offering was withdrawn prior to sale, bringing the national quantity down to 25,338 bales. Despite the reduced offering, buyer demand waned as the sale progressed, this resulted in continual price reductions. Good style wools and those with good additional measurement results, were still in high demand and these wools were the least affected by the falling market. The large numbers of lesser style wools and those with poor additional measurement results, did not receive the same support however, pushing continually prices down. By the end of the series the individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) across the country fell by 21 to 87 cents. Due to these losses, the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) lost 55 cents for the series, closing the week at 1,170 cents. The EMI is now at its lowest point since 2015. The EMI when viewed in USD terms, dropped 48 cents, falling to 753 USc, this is the lowest the EMI has been in USD terms in nearly 10 years. Although the market has been in decline over the previous few months, a positive point to note, has been the resilience of the Australian wool industry as a whole. Since shutdowns and restrictions were first enforced in Australia in Week 38, sales across the country have continued under adverse conditions, with all industry stakeholders working together to ensure that wool auctions continue. During this time, over 250 million dollars’ worth of wool has been transferred from Australian growers to overseas exporters. Next week’s national offering increases slightly to 25,660 bales. Due to limited quantities Sydney and Fremantle both will have one-day sales, Sydney selling Tuesday and Fremantle selling Wednesday, this is a move designed to avoid Melbourne selling in isolation.

Gorton takes the lead

J

ohnny Gorton will chair a community reference group in charge of steering development of a Horsham riverfront activation project.

Mr Gorton and group members have the job of turning ideas about enhancing the riverfront into detailed plans to go out for public comment later this year.

The group, which met via video conference for the first time last month, is made up of three community and eight Horsham organisation representatives and four Horsham council officers.

The riverfront activation is one of seven precincts included in a Horsham Rural City Council City to River Masterplan, and it will be the first to progress from conceptual ideas to a detailed planning stage.

Mr Gorton is chairman of Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative and a member of the Horsham council’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee.

He said his aim was to ensure final plans for the riverfront reflected the public’s feedback.

More than 700 people made submissions about the overall masterplan during an engagement period last year, with the community putting many ideas forward about how to improve Horsham’s riverfront.

“I’m looking forward to working with the other committee members. They are all there for the right reason and that is to represent the community,” Mr Gorton said.

“There was a fair bit of debate about the overall City to River

A Wimmera university will provide weekly financial assistance for its TAFE students feeling the effects of COVID-19.

Federation University announced TAFE students experiencing financial hardship due to the pandemic could receive up to $300 a week for two weeks.

Students who have had their hours of employment reduced as a result of COVID-19 or are unable to work due to self-isolation and have limited or no provision of personal or annual leave are eligible for the two weekly payments.

Federation University vice-chancellor Helen Bartlett said financial support would ensure students had a better chance of completing their studies through the pandemic.

“We know many of our TAFE students are feeling the financial strain of the COVID-19 pandemic like so many others in the community,” she said.

“Now, more than ever, we need to support our students and this package will help them continue their studies during these difficult times.”

TAFE students living in rural areas with limited internet services will also be able to access a oneoff payment of up to $100 to boost their internet access or data limit.

The university is reminding students who might be struggling with online learning the cut-off date to withdraw from a program without fees has been extended to July 1.

The due date for tuition fees for students who are in fee-paying certificate-level programs has been extended to June 30. For Diploma or Advanced Diploma students, the census date has been extended to July 1.

More computers will also be made available for students to borrow from the Wimmera campus library.

Study spaces that comply with social distancing and hygiene measures have also been opened up at the library, where students can book computer time for their studies. In addition to this, Federation University is also providing fee extensions.

Rate relief for Ararat residents A

rarat and district residents will get a one percent rate cut under Ararat Rural City Council’s 2020-21 Draft Budget.

The council will also invest $13.6-million in capital works including road upgrades, new amenities and community infrastructure.

Chief executive Tim Harrison said the draft budget also outlined a budgeted operating surplus of $4.661-million, an improvement from the forecast surplus of $1.631-million for 2019-2020.

He said the figures reflected a measure of financial sustainability.

Dr Harrison said the council had voted at its meeting last week to place the draft on public display and invite community submissions.

“The draft budget outlines a rate cut of one percent because the council is acutely aware of the current difficulties around the COVID-19 event and the impact this is having on our communities and economy,” he said.

“The cut to general rates will help keep rates as close as possible to last year. The budget impact of this decision is $445,000, which will be recouped through organisational efficiencies and not affect delivery of council services.”

Dr Harrison said the draft budget aimed to fund service delivery and the renewal of infrastructure and community assets while avoiding unduly increasing the rate burden in any rating sector.

“This year’s budget aims to fund key elements of the Council Plan 2017-2021, which was also placed on public display for comment at Wednesday’s meeting,” he said.

“The budget outlines key infrastructure projects for the community including the comple-

tion of Ararat on the Move projects at a cost of $650,000. This includes the new netball courts and female-friendly amenities at the Alexandra Oval precinct and upgrades to Ararat Skate Park.

“Other projects in the draft budget include upgrades to rural roads such as Darlington-Carranballac Road, $558,000; WoorndooStreatham Road, $1.967-million; and Tatyoon Road, $3.11-million.

“The council will also invest $898,614 in arts, culture and heritage, $250,000 in drainage renewal and $325,000 in bridges.”

Other projects outlined in the draft budget include: Laby Street drainage and upgrades, $60,000; Baird Street road and drainage upgrades, $160,000; Truscott Street upgrades, $376,000; Heath Street upgrades, $800,000; Willaura-Wickliffe Road upgrades, $1.375-million; road resheeting work, $1-million; road resealing work, $1.405-million; foot and bike paths, $160,000; plant and equipment, $965,000; and property and buildings, $910,000.

Residents can download a copy of the draft budget by visiting website www.ararat.vic. gov.au.

A hard copy of the document is available by phoning the council office on 5355 0200.

Budget submissions must be in writing and addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, Ararat Rural City Council, PO Box 246, Ararat, VIC, 3377 or sent via email to council@ararat. vic.gov.au.

Dr Harrison said anyone keen to address the council in relation to their submission could include the request in their submission and council officers would contact them.

PAMPER TIME: Sheer Urbane Hair apprentice Hannah Ross, left, and owner Stacey Turnbull are offering a free shampoo and style session for healthcare workers.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Washing away work stresses A Horsham hairdresser is offering free pampering sessions for healthcare staff working to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

Sheer Urbane Hair Horsham owner Stacey Turnbull said hairdressing staff would treat healthcare workers to a complimentary shampoo and style.

“We’re offering it to all healthcare workers to say thank-you for putting yourself on the front line and just acknowledging all the stress that they’ve been under during this time,” she said.

“It means for 30 minutes to an hour, they can pamper themselves and just forget about it.”

Plenty of uncertainty surrounded if and how hairdressers

could operate when the government announced shutdowns of ‘non-essential’ businesses in March.

Ms Turnbull, like many other Wimmera hairdressing business owners, chose to shut her salon to protect staff and clients from the potential spread of COVID-19.

She reopened Sheer Urbane on Thursday last week.

“We have put precautions in place for customers and staff,” she said.

“We are putting in more disinfecting measures than usual.

“In between each person we are completely disinfecting the station and anywhere they go in the salon.

“We’re also only using four out of our seven chairs, keeping a 1.5-metre distance between them, and four metres across.”

Ms Turnbull said she was pleased to reopen the salon.

“It has been a bit difficult for sure, but we are all getting back on track and reopening,” she said.

“We have a lot of community support, which is amazing.”

Ms Turnbull said healthcare workers could call Sheer Urbane on 5381 0810 or message the salon’s Facebook page to book.

She said people must show their health care group identification to qualify for the free treatment.

Rural students set bar high T

BY DYLAN DE JONG

wo Wimmera year-12 students are setting the academic bar high this year after receiving honours from Premier Daniel Andrews.

Ararat Marian College student Bridget McGuckian and Nhill College’s Mikayla Farmers received perfect scores in 2019.

They were among 307 students statewide awarded for their academic excellence for the Premier’s Victorian Certificate of Education, VCE, Awards in 2020.

Both Mikayla and Bridget were presented a study award as ‘best performers’ in their individual subjects, achieving perfect scores in year-12 level subjects while in year 11.

Bridget received the honours for her perfect score in physical education.

She said finding a balance between study, family and social life was key to her success.

“It was a shock, I thought you had to be a superhuman to do that,” she said.

“I thought you had to put in hundreds of hours of work – although I feel like I did work really hard.

“I still enjoyed my year and still went out and did a lot of social things, studied, played netball and basketball.”

Bridget said her score set a great example of what students could achieve at a rural school.

“When I was younger I thought I would have to move to a bigger school to achieve that height,” she said.

“I just put in my best effort and

gave it my best shot – there’s no reason why people in rural Victoria can’t achieve the same results.”

Bridget also studied year-12 biology last year and also received a perfect score of 50.

She thanked her teachers for their continued support.

Mikayla achieved a perfect score after putting in many restless nights for her visual communication and design subject.

Mikayla designed a sustainable house with a mock company and logo under the guidance of her teacher Lyn Coghlan.

And like Bridget, she also completed the year-12 subject in year 11.

Mikayla said she was astounded to receive the Premier’s honour.

“I’m honoured, I never expected it,” she said.

“I got a nice little letter in the mail.

I’d never heard about the awards before that.

“This just proves that if you put the hard work in, you’ll get it back.”

She thanked Mrs Coughlan, who gave her ongoing support throughout the year.

“It’s amazing to have such an experienced teacher,” she said.

“She’d do anything to help with my studies in that subject.

“If I was willing to put in the effort, she was willing to put in even more.”

Marian College principal Carmel Barker said the students’ achievements set an academic precedence for rural schools.

“We’ve had a number of students achieve quite high results in maths and science especially,” she said.

BENCHMARK: Ararat Marian College year-12 student Bridget McGuckian, pictured, and Nhill College’s Mikayla Farmers were among the highest achieving secondary students in Victoria.

“It shows students that you don’t have to be in the inner city.

“Working hard here, regardless of the limitation of the country, you can still do really well.

“It’s a matter of balance. The students we see do really well have a

great balance between study, sport and family life.”

The Department of Education and Training has postponed the 2020 Premier’s VCE Awards until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wimmera Development Association is seeking volunteers to participate in a study about the impact of working and learning from home during the coronavirus health crisis.

Health advice moved the operation of many businesses and organisations into homes in March, while Victorian schools provided education for many students remotely when term two resumed in April.

Association executive director Chris Sounness said the study aimed to understand and document the challenges.

“Many children are feeling that it is very hard for them to get a clear understanding of expectations while they are learning from home, they aren’t receiving the feedback they want and the structure, or lack of structure, is challenging,” he said.

“Parents are often trying to work full-time while providing a learning environment for their children, and they feel they are letting people down when they make choices about work or their child’s schooling.

“Some children are totally disengaged.

Then there are some children who are finding remote learning a far better environment for them to learn. One size does not fit all.

“When the time comes that restrictions have eased, we need to ensure people feel supported, and we need to understand what resources the Wimmera and southern Mallee needs to put in place to ensure everyone can achieve the best they can.”

Mr Sounness said the study would also investigate the impact on mothers.

He said participation in the study was voluntary and responses would remain confidential.

He said people could text their first name and a contact phone number to 0491 628 338 to register interest.

Mr Sounness said people seeking assistance could phone Uniting Wimmera on 1800 195 114.

Simon a shining example

Celebrating volunteers

BY DYLAN DE JONG

A

young engineer’s passion for cutting, bending and assembling has driven his success to regional recognition.

Warracknabeal engineer Simon Bell is respected among the most talented up-and-coming tradesmen in the Wimmera and Southern Mallee.

In his second year of metal fabrication at SuniTAFE Swan Hill, the 19-year-old is Elsteel and Roofing’s Apprentice of the Year.

Simon said it was rewarding to see a result for all his hard work.

“It’s very satisfying. I feel like I work fairly hard at my job to try to learn as much and achieve as much as I can,” he said.

“It’s a pretty good feeling to be recognised for the hard work that I feel like I’m putting in.”

Simon jumped straight into his apprenticeship in February 2019 after completing year 11.

He said he started working in his family’s engineering business, Bell’s Farma Products, with father and employer Jamie Bell, at 17.

“Because of the family trade I was lucky that I could do things on the weekends,” he said.

“I bought a dual-cab ute at 17 and built a tray for it – that really made me go ‘wow, this is something I created’.

“That was what got me interested in the metal fabrication trade.

“Once I started the tray, I’d come home every day and work on it.”

Simon said the process of seeing what he could create with his

Picture: DYLAN DE JONG hands was rewarding work. “Seeing something start as bits of plate and steel on the ground and actually fabricating that into something – it’s cool to look back and think that was something I put together,” he said.

Jamie said he and his wife Trina had not only seen Simon’s progress as employers, but also as parents.

“As his employer I’m very proud and as a parent, even more so,” he

said. “To see one of your children doing something they enjoy and working hard, getting an award like this just recognises all that hard work.

“It reflects that he probably enjoys what he’s doing. If you enjoy your job, you’ll do it well.”

Jamie said he hoped Simon’s efforts would set an example for aspiring tradesman.

“Hopefully this can promote a

“Trades are still legitimately a very good option – we need them.

“Yes, we need university educated people, they’re all very important jobs.

“But ultimately plumbers, electricians and builders are all very important as well.”

West Wimmera Shire Council is getting ready to celebrate National Volunteer Week a little differently this year.

Each year the council would host a morning tea to show its appreciation to hard-working volunteers in the shire. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing restrictions, this year’s morning tea is going digital.

The council will now host a virtual morning tea for all its volunteers, on May 21.

Organiser Amanda Munn said volunteers would receive an official invitation in the mail.

“They will also receive an invitation to join the virtual morning tea via email,” she said.

“We are running the morning tea through a video-calling program, which will allow the volunteers to see each other and have a chat.”

Volunteers will also receive a plate of morning tea during the video call.

“We have engaged local businesses to prepare and deliver morning tea to all our volunteers who live in townships,” Ms Munn said.

“For volunteers who live out of town, they will receive a voucher with their invitation, which they can redeem for morning tea at either Kaniva Community Roadhouse or Edenhope Takeaway.”

West Wimmera mayor Bruce Meyer said the virtual morning tea was a way to thank volunteers in the shire for their work.

“While volunteering is on hold at the moment, the work our volunteers do is truly appreciated by the council,” he said.

“Volunteers are the backbone of any small community and so many vital services would not run without the work of these people.”

Latest census data shows West Wimmera Shire has the highest rate of volunteering in the state, at 44.9 percent, well above the state average of 19.2 percent and the national average of 19 percent.

Cr Meyer said he hoped the shire’s volunteers would continue their important work after the COVID-19 pandemic was over.

New online recruitment hub A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

new website is acting as a hub to link Wimmera hospitals with skilled workers to help tackle shortages of health clinicians in the region.

Federation University partnered with hospitals including Wimmera Health Care Group, Rural Northwest Health and West Wimmera Health Service to deliver the Connecting Health Careers website.

The website, launched last month, acts as a ‘one-stop shop’ for health careers, with the aim to attract and retain graduates at rural hospitals.

WHCG registered nurse Emalee Iredell is one of many employees who decided to stay in Horsham on completing her studies at Federation University.

Ms Iredell, 25, completed her placement at WHCG last year and went directly into working as a full-time registered nurse in the hospital’s emergency department.

She said the diversity of roles she had undertaken at the hospital allowed her to quickly up-skill in many departments.

Ms Iredell said she believed staying in Horsham had helped her develop faster in her profession than if she were at a larger hospital.

“We get to do so much at a smaller hospital – there’s such a diverse range of things we get to do as nurses, therefore our skillset here is probably a lot better,” she said.

“In the bigger cities there’s more specialist wards, whereas in Horsham we get to look after all of that.”

Ms Iredell started her diploma in

nursing at 21 because she enjoyed helping people.

She said she believed there was more of an opportunity to develop relationships with her patients in the rural hospital.

“I feel like people get more personcentred care when they’re in a little community like Horsham,” she said.

“I feel like it’s really down to earth, along with the staff. It’s a nice friendly vibe.”

Ms Iredell said she hoped more people would stay in Horsham on graduating rather than moving to metropolitan centres like Melbourne.

“Graduates all tend to want to go to the bigger cities and it’s just so vital that we keep locals here,” she said.

“I love Horsham, it’s got everything you need and it’s what you make of

it. I didn’t really want to move unless I had to.”

The new website enables students to browse job opportunities and to create and upload their resumes.

WHCG human resources advisor Sophie Connor said recruiting healthcare staff in regional areas was a challenge.

She said the website gave the hospital a more ‘targeted approach’ when recruiting graduates.

“The portal gives us a chance to show recent recruits or graduates of TAFE courses about what our organisation stands for and offers,” she said.

“Because there’s a lot of healthcare roles in national shortage, as well as the rurality factor of our hospital, it makes it difficult to recruit.

“The website allows recruitment to be more targeted to a potential source

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

of people who have finished or nearly finished their studies.”

She said WHCG was always seeking new ways to attract skilled workers to widen the hospital’s applicant pool.

“We need enrolled nurses, traineeships and graduates to make sure there’s enough people coming through and gaining experience as one part of our recruitment strategy,” she said “The turnover means we’ve always got available positions and therefore need new and qualified team members to join our dedicated health service.”

A community noticeboard provides regularly updated information relevant to employers and prospective employees in the sector.

Dump site Remediation work continues on a major illegal waste dump at Lemon Springs, south of Kaniva.

Environment Protection Authority Victoria has contracted West Wimmera Shire Council to construct two internal access roads, essential to support heavy-vehicle and machinery movement during the next phase of the project.

The roads will also improve ease of vehicle movements in and around the site. The EPA will also source road-base material will be from district quarries.

Road construction, scheduled to take about four weeks depending on weather, will start after completion of an approvals process.

EPA staff members will be based in and around Kaniva during the construction period.

Further information is available online at www.epa.vic.gov.au/ kaniva.

Clean-up work Horsham council authorities are working with the owner of a burntout residential property in Hazel Street regarding a clean-up of the site.

Horsham Rural City Council has issued an emergency order on the property, which has been a fencedoff ruin since an unoccupied house on the property burnt down in early January.

The council order requires the owner to secure the property to prevent entry by unauthorised people, to engage the services of a suitably qualified person to audit the remains of the building to establish the presence of asbestos and to demolish unsafe buildings.

Exceptionally grape wine G

BY DYLAN DE JONG

rampians winemaker SubRosa has been smashing goals this past year.

A young player in the industry, SubRosa owners and partners Adam Louder and Nancy Panter have already received a great deal of praise from Australia’s most prominent wine reviewers.

Last month, revered Australian wine critic Huon Hooke reviewed SubRosa’s 2018 batch of viognier as best in the country.

This comes after leading wine critic James Halliday rated the winery as one of the best new wineries in the 2019 Halliday Wine Companion.

He said SubRosa’s wine had potential to ‘win gold medals galore, should it enter wine shows’, while scoring each of its wines between 92 and 96 points.

This year, the winery retained its high ratings and featured in the February-March Halliday Wine Companion 50th edition magazine.

SubRosa quickly built a strong reputation in the Grampians and Pyrenees regions after the couple started the label in 2015.

Ms Panter said she was delighted to be able to produce an award-winning wine that had the potential to showcase the region.

“We work hard to make the best wines we can using the high quality grapes grown here in the Grampians and Pyrenees and we’re proud to be promoting the region through our beautiful wines,” she said.

“Adam is an exceptionally talented winemaker. He has completed 34

“We aim to make delicious wines that are well priced, so it’s wonderful to see reviewers like James Halliday, Huon Hooke and Mike Bennie recognising that our wines are great value for money.”

Continuing with its success, SubRosa shipped a pallet of its hand-

“It has been a steep learning curve for us – Japan is our first export market.”

Business Impact Survey

City updates road projects Horsham Rural City Council will continue with key road infrastructure projects ensuring roads needing attention are rebuilt long-lasting.

The council’s reconstruction of Horsham’s Federation Avenue is progressing, with the final seal on part of the busy residential street laid more than a week ago.

Works to reconstruct between Kalimna Avenue and Drummond Street will continue over the coming months.

The road has been completely rebuilt between McDowell Court and Mintern Crescent. The replacement of drainage pits, nature strips and kerb and channel is also part of the works.

Council infrastructure services director John Martin said ongoing council works would guarantee roads were built durable.

“The end result will be a new and improved pavement and better drainage that will help keep the road in good condition for decades to come,” he said.

Mr Martin thanked nearby residents for their patience during the period of disruption.

“This is an important project to meet current and future needs at this location,” he said.

Meanwhile, roadworks are continuing in Johnson Street, between Tucker and Culliver streets.

Mr Martin said kerb and channel replacement was completed this week, and contractors would soon start the removal of the old road pavement, making way for reconstruction.

The council is also preparing for major works on Fechler Avenue.

Nearby residents have been notified and reconstruction works will start in coming weeks.

City reactivates gallery collection A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera art gallery has found technology to be a vital resource through the COVID-19 pandemic after moving its art displays online.

Inspiration from other Victorian art galleries prompted Horsham Regional Art Gallery director Brenda Wellman to display the gallery’s latest art exhibition through an online interactive virtual display.

The gallery prepared Malaysian-born photographer Minstrel Kuik’s exhibition, ‘She who has no self’, in February, but due to government restrictions the gallery was forced to close its doors.

Kuik planned to visit the gallery in April, however, continued restrictions prevented her from entering Australia and visiting Horsham to view her exhibition.

Thankfully, with a bit of ingenuity, the gallery found a way to display her photography in a ‘virtual art tour’.

Keen art-lovers can now access her exhibition through the art gallery’s website, cycling through three different virtual rooms inside the gallery, as though they were actually there.

Mrs Wellman said although virtual art was no substitute for the ‘real thing’, it served as a useful tool to engage art enthusiasts across the Wimmera.

She said she hoped the online experience would encourage more people to attend the gallery when it could reopen.

Wednesday, May 13, 2020

“The virtual experience never replaces the actual experience of seeing art up-close – but for us, it’s a great tool to enable people to see the art,” she said.

“Getting more art online has always been something we’ve been working on, it’s just becoming more important as we’re closed down.”

Mrs Wellman said moving works online also created a permanent record of the exhibition for the artist and served as a valuable piece of history for the gallery.

“Usually art tours are only up for a short time.

If you don’t document them there’s not really much record of it,” she said.

“It adds to our information about the artists, so in 10 or 20 years’ time people can use that as a resource for researching that artist.

“That’s how we learn things – keeping that reference.

“For Minstrel, she was supposed to visit Horsham – now the virtual tour is really the only thing she’s seen. It’s a record she’ll have of the exhibition, apart from the catalogue – that aspect is pretty important for artists.”

Following Kuik’s works, the gallery plans to continue providing virtual art tours in 2020.

Minstrel Kuik: She who has no self, was curated by Alison Eggleton and developed for PHOTO 2020 International Festival of Photography.

The festival, featuring the works of Australian and international photographers in Melbourne and regional Victoria, has been postponed until February 2021.

Exploration into hydrogen concept L

atest Federal Government investment into developing a hydrogen fuel industry has added weight to an investigation into how the Wimmera might be involved.

The government has established a $300-million Advancing Hydrogen Fund to finance projects focused on growing a ‘clean, innovative and competitive’ hydrogen industry in Australia.

It is the government’s first funding program dedicated to hydrogen projects.

The fund will back projects that align with National Hydrogen Strategy priorities including advancing hydrogen production, developing export and domestic supply chains, establishing hydrogen hubs and projects that build domestic demand for hydrogen.

Wimmera and southern Mallee leaders announced in January they were keen to explore a value-adding process involving the zero-emission gas based on wind and solar-power generation in the region.

They said at the time they had been in initial discussions with the State Government in response to a ‘green’ or policy-discussion paper on a state green hydrogen plan.

Green hydrogen is created by electrolysis of water via electricity created from an environmentally benign source such as a wind or solar generator.

It differs from brown, grey or blue hydrogen, created by ‘steam methane reforming’, which generates high levels of carbon dioxide and can leak methane – both greenhouse gases.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said meetings and discussions regarding regional opportunities were continuing.

“We remain convinced that green hydrogen

“We remain convinced that green hydrogen will be of great value to the region as well as the nation” – Chris Sounness

will be of great value to the region as well as the nation,” he said.

“As a central hub where heavy vehicles crisscross via a variety of transport routes our region is perfectly placed for development.

“There are also opportunities surrounding agriculture as part of the bigger picture.

“The key for us, in collaboration with the State Government, is to pinpoint opportunities so we can paint a clear picture of these opportunities to take to the Federal Government.”

Federal Member for Wannon Dan Tehan said international analysis suggested the latest funding, with a $70-million Renewable Hydrogen Deployment Funding Round administrated

by Australian Renewable Energy Agency, was one of the largest commitments any government in the world had made to the hydrogen sector.

“This commitment builds on the work already being undertaken in Wannon, with the announcement last year of the $2-million hydrogen hub in Warrnambool,” he said.

Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor said the fund met a commitment to build Australia’s hydrogen industry into a global export industry by 2030.

“Our hydrogen industry has the ability to make a positive impact both at home and overseas.

From cheaper energy bills and job creation in regional Australia, to playing a role in reducing global emissions at home and in countries that buy Australian-produced hydrogen, the industry’s potential cannot be ignored,” he said.

Drilling results ‘encouraging’ N

avarre Minerals Limited has continued to report ‘encouraging’ results in exploration efforts to confirm large-scale minable deposits of precious metals near Stawell and Ararat.

The company’s latest report comes after reconnaissance air-core drilling results from its Glenlyle Project.

The Glenlyle Project is 25 kilometres south-west of Ararat, under 10 to 40 metres of ‘newer volcanics’ cover and about 25 kilometres north-east of a Stavely Minerals Cayley Lode Thursday Gossan copper discovery.

Navarre managing director Geoff McDermott said latest drilling results had significantly expanded a mineral footprint area in the region and the Glenlyle Project.

He said the results followed two earlier phases of reconnaissance air-core drilling in 2018 and 2019, which also revealed strong silver-gold mineralisation.

“The new air-core drilling results continue to provide evidence for a large poly-metallic mineral system at Glenlyle in the emerging Stavely Arc volcanics of western Victoria,” he said.

“The mineralised footprint at Glenlyle has now been expanded to about 350 metres by 300 metres and remains open to the south and at depth.

“Given the tenor of results being generated at this early stage of exploration, the proximity to a magnetic low and IP anomaly, a favourable geological set-

“The mineralised footprint at Glenlyle has now been expanded to about 350 metres by 300 metres and remains open to the south and at depth”

– Geoff McDermott

ting and proximity to an existing large copper discovery, we believe there is potential to discover a large poly-metallic mineral system at depth at Glenlyle.

“We look forward to completing the targeting of potential mineralisation under cover and to plan our next phases of drilling.”

Planning for follow-up diamond drilling at a Glenlyle Morning Bill prospect is underway.

This might occur during the next quarter of the year, subject to regional cropping activity, autumn conditions and any health and safety considerations and government restrictions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Navarre Minerals will plan follow-up regional reconnaissance air-core drilling on receipt and integration of other survey data.

Air-core drilling is the initial stage of the company’s discovery plan designed to rapidly and cost-effectively identify the shallow footprint of basement gold and silver mineralisation.

From there it can deploy deeper targeted drilling programs with the aim of defining the extent of economic mineralisation.

Ararat council staff take talents online Ararat Rural City Council staff members have learnt their lines and practiced their singing before getting in front of the camera to film Ararat Library Story Time, Baby Rhyme Time and Ararat Gallery TAMA Mini Makers Art Club sessions.

The end result is now all available online.

Baby Rhyme Time and Story Time sessions happen weekly at the library, and Mini Makers is at the gallery once a month.

Both usually involve children and their carers attending the venues, but are now available for families to view and interact with from home as

they follow COVID-19 restrictions.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said many families were missing the three regular sessions, so it made sense to provide them in another format for children.

Dr Harrison said staff member Grant Thomas took Story Time for pre-schoolers and Kylee Whiting Baby Rhyme Time in person at the library, but were now diversifying their talents by performing in front of the camera in a combined session.

Mini Makers sessions, also for pre-schoolers, feature Jiah Harrison who sings songs, reads a book and then guides children through a craft activity based on the book’s themes.

“The council is really glad to be able to provide the sessions to our local children, who must be missing the personal interaction while being in isolation,” Dr Harrison said.

“We have heard on the grapevine that Story Time and Mini Makers online have been a hit with kids, so we will continue producing the online versions while COVID-19 restrictions are still in place.”

New doctor keen on rural lifestyle A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

new doctor recruited to a rural Wimmera hospital has paid tribute to ‘country living’ as she settles into her role.

Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital welcomed Dr Sabiha Rimi, husband Fahmedul and their eight-year-old son Sameed to Edenhope at the beginning of the month.

The hospital announced Dr Sabiha’s recruitment in early April, however COVID-19 restrictions disrupted her plans to move interstate from her previous home in Adelaide.

The general practitioner is eager to settle into her new position with the Rural Doctors team that now operates Edenhope Medical Clinic, formerly Edenhope Hospital Medical Clinic.

Dr Sabiha will be the visiting medical officer at Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital and will be available for appointments at the newly re-established medical clinic.

Rural Doctors, who run clinics in Nhill and Kaniva and provide service to Goroke, took over the Edenhope clinic on April 10.

Dr Sabiha said she was excited about living in a rural community, which would also allow her to be closer to some of her family who live in Melbourne.

“When we visited Edenhope I really liked the town, especially the lake,” she said.

“This move will provide a better quality of life for my family.

‘I had been travelling two hours a day from Adelaide to Tailem Bend where I was working.”

Dr Sabiha grew up in Bangladesh, where she completed her studies and training.

“I grew up in a small country town where everyone knew everyone, so Edenhope will be very familiar to me – I am looking forward to getting to know everyone,” she said.

At Horsham Physiotherapy & Podiatry, Sandra, Shaun and Erin can help you get back to your best.

FRESH START: New Edenhope Medical Clinic General Practitioner Dr Sabiha Rimi started in her role last week.

Dr Sabiha and her husband landed in Adelaide in 2012, where she worked in a general practice.

Her work then took her to a medical practice at Tailem Bend, which also serviced a hospital and aged-care centre.

Dr Sabiha has more than 12 years overseas general practice experience and an additional three years in Australia.

Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital chief executive Andrew Saunders said securing a new doctor was a great outcome for the rural medical clinic.

“This is a fantastic outcome and I would like to thank the community for their patience and support while we have been working to secure doctor services for our community,” he said.

“I would also like to thank the staff at our medical clinic, who have been a great support to me and the team during this uncertain time.”

The hospital also farewelled Dr Lalani Udalamatta, who served the hospital for many years.

“I would also like to personally thank Dr Lalani for the outstanding service she has provided to the hospital, clinic and the community throughout the past seven years,” Mr Saunders said.

“A big thank-you must also go to her husband Bandu, who provided support to Dr Lalani and was a great contributor to the community.”

Due to COVID-19 restrictions the hospital was unable to provide an official farewell for Dr Lalani.

Instead the medical clinic offered community members an opportunity to send a personal note or card to the couple.

Edenhope Medical Clinic is open five days a week between 8.30am and 5pm and is now a bulk-billing clinic.

All systems go for Dimboola station Construction of a new fire station in Dimboola will start in the near future with the State Government responding to pleas from Country Fire Authority volunteers and the wider community.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy congratulated the Dimboola community for its tireless lobbying for the station.

Ms Kealy said Dimboola had been assessed as having an extreme fire risk, with an extensive history of threats to the town from bushfires, particu-

larly from the west side across the Wimmera River and Little Desert National Park.

She said Dimboola CFA also provided extensive support to other emergency services by attending vehicle incidents on the Western Highway.

“Advice that a new fire station will finally be constructed in Dimboola is a huge win for the local community, who have been lobbying for this vital investment for years,” Ms Kealy said.

“It is essential that CFA vol-

unteers have the equipment and facilities they need to protect local people and property safely and effectively.

“The current Dimboola fire station facilities are aged, aren’t big enough to house the CFA vehicles and do not meet current needs, expectations or occupational health and safety requirements.”

Ms Kealy said she had raised the issue many times with former and present Emergency Services ministers.

“After such a long battle for

a replacement fire station, it’s a credit to the Dimboola community and our fabulous CFA volunteers that they never gave up the fight,” she said.

“This new fire station is a fitting thank-you to all the Dimboola CFA volunteers and recognition of their generous contribution to protecting our people and property.

“I will continue to do all I can to make sure the new Dimboola Fire Station gets built as soon as possible.”

Sport veteran growing old gracefully K

BY DYLAN DE JONG

evin Geyer lives and breathes sport and at 88 is still going strong.

The sporting veteran has even landed his name in the National Archery Hall of Fame, representing Horsham in the 1950s.

Alongside his extensive archery career, Geyer has played ‘just about anything going’ in his time.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, he could be found playing croquet at Kalimna Park Croquet Club in Horsham, where he is still well-known for his dead-shot accuracy.

Geyer was born and raised in the Wimmera, starting his sporting career playing football and cricket.

Before discovering archery at 18, he played in Horsham District Football League for Homers, later renamed North Horsham, in the 1940s.

But a game in Melbourne in 1949, resulting in an ankle injury, turned him away from the sport for good.

It was while recovering from his broken ankle he found a notice in the Horsham Times newspaper about an archery demonstration at Horsham Racecourse.

“I hopped on my brother’s bike, carrying my crutches, and went down there. A few people were demonstrating archery,” Geyer said.

“I was standing there trying to have a shoot with a crutch under one arm and bow and arrow in the other, and from there it instantly sucked me in.”

Following the demonstration, the Horsham Archery Club was born and quickly became a hub for the sport across the region, attracting more than 50 members.

In 1952, club members got word archery would make it back into the 1956 Melbourne Summer Olympics for the first time since 1920 – a target Geyer firmly set his sights on.

From that point on, Geyer’s steel bow and his duck feather fletched arrows became the tools of his trade, practising ‘every waking hour’.

He even took up wrestling at one point to further develop his upper body strength.

“In 1952 they told us archery would be in the Olympics, in Melbourne in 1956,” he said.

“I’d start work at 5am as a pastry cook, knock off about 2pm and then go straight to the archery club to put in between three and six hours of practice,” he said.

“In ’54 I went to Adelaide for Australian champs and placed third. I thought ‘beauty I might actually have a shot at this’.”

Reaping reward

A year later his hard work was starting to pay off.

He won the 1955 Australian championships in Sydney.

However, his years of preparing for the Olympics were ripped away from him in circumstances beyond his control.

“In 1956 they told us there was a muck-up in the application and archery would not be in the Olympics,” Geyer said.

“That was one of the biggest disappointments as far as sport was concerned in my career, considering the time I put in. I really dedicated myself over those years.”

A string of bad luck followed.

Nerves got the better of him while

Kevin Geyer

competing at the 1956 national championships in Brisbane.

“1956 was a bit of a disaster. I went to Brisbane for nationals and I had the 1955 national cup with me, looking after it,” he said.

“Someone was going to pick us up at our hotel and take us to where the archery field was.

“We packed our gear and waited, with the cup beside me on the step. A car stopped to pick us up and the driver told us to hurry, and away we went.

“We got to the archery field and a bloke said, ‘glad to see you, have you brought the cup with you?’ Talk about calamity, I realised I hadn’t grabbed it, so we went back to the hotel and it was gone.

“I was a bundle of nerves after that.

I went back and we started shooting. I couldn’t do it, I was too upset – I think I placed about sixth or eighth in that tournament.

“After we went back to the hotel, I asked the reception if they had seen the cup. They said no. I told them it was wrapped in brown paper and they said, ‘oh, is that it?’ It was sitting on the shelf. We got the cup back, but it ruined my day.

“If I’d lost that cup I would have been rubbed out of archery.”

The following year Geyer was even more determined to regain his title.

Tactical advantage

A tactical advantage of changing his arrow fletchings to swan feathers had allowed him to dominate his competition on a rainy day in Melbourne.

“I sent my arrows down to Ballarat to be re-fletched,” he said.

“I started shooting at the nationals.

After lunch it started raining. We were shooting and everyone yelled out to stop, but I said ‘no, keep shooting’.

“We kept going and my feathers were standing up beautifully. Other people’s arrows were going all over the place. By about 3pm, I was that wet the water was running out of my boots and everyone said, ‘that’s it, give it away, no more’.

“I was about 60 points ahead. They gave me the cup that year. I thought, ‘beauty, I’ll do the same thing next year’, but by the end of the year they changed over to plastic fletching – well that messed up my little lurk.”

Geyer gave away archery in 1958 after marrying his wife, the late Doreen Geyer.

He replaced the bow with a croquet mallet in 1990, following Doreen’s decision to join a Horsham croquet club.

The husband and wife croquet duo represented the Wimmera in competitions across the state.

Today, sport is still a key part of Geyer’s life.

He said he owed his fitness and wellbeing to his dedication of staying active.

“I’ve always been a great believer in doing exercises. I get up every morning and do exercise,” he said.

“Croquet is a good form of exercise because there’s lots of walking, bending over and thinking involved – a lot of elderly people say, ‘take up croquet and you grow old gracefully’.

“It’s not too hard on the body and it’s most enjoyable.”

Ballistic...

ritish supercar manufacturer McLaren has revealed additional details of its latest flagship model and Ultimate Series torchbearer, the Speedtail, which sports one of the highest top speeds of any production car.

When the Speedtail was first revealed in October 2018, McLaren told fans the new successor to the legendary F1 would be powered by a 787kW petrol-electric hybrid powertrain that could propel the Speedtail from zero to 300kmh in 12.8 seconds, with a top speed of 403kmh.

Now the company has revealed more concrete details on its monster dualpower engine set-up, that incorporates Formula E-derived battery technology with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8.

The output from the V8 also found in other McLaren models totals 557kW800Nm, making it the second-most powerful iteration of the V8 behind the track-bred Senna, which manages to punch out 588kW and an equal amount of torque.

Additional power is provided by a lithium-ion battery and electric motor derived from Formula E technology

that is able to produce an output of 270kW. That figure is made particularly impressive when considering the size of the battery pack – only 1.647kWh – giving it four times the density of the 2013 P1’s battery pack and a power to weight ratio of 5.2kW per kilogram, which the brand claims is the best of any high-voltage battery today.

Engineers integrated the inverter and DC-DC converter into the electric drive system, which allows the Speedtail to control and manage the considerable levels of power coming from

Extra details emerge on McLaren Speedtail and its hybrid powertrain

the small battery. The battery cells are thermally controlled by a dielectrical cooling system and permanently immersed in a lightweight, electrically insulative oil that wicks heat away from the cells, allowing the cells to remain at an optimum temperature and therefore operate to their maximum potential.

Combined output for the powertrain is 787kW with a fearsome 1150Nm, which helps contribute to its staggering performance figures.

The powertrain combines with a number of aerodynamic enhancements

across the body to be able to handle the 403kmh V-max, with features such as the swooping rear end, retractable side mirrors, special wheels and aerodynamic actuators all contributing to its low drag coefficient.

Like the F1, only 106 examples of the Speedtail will be built, with ‘a very low number’ destined for Australia.

Pricing has not been revealed, however given the Speedtail asks £1.75 -million, or $A3.41-million, plus onroads in its native country, it certainly will not come cheap.

4.6.1930 – 26.4.2020 Passed away at Dunmunkle Lodge, Minyip, and reunited with Betty in Minyip Cemetery on 1.5.2020.

17.8.1967 - 3.5.2020 at Townsville Darms and partner Narelle worked and travelled together, all over the place, before finally settling in Townsville.

They built a lovely home not far from Ross River Dam, and their backyard became the welcoming family caravan park when we all traveled that way. Oh what fun times were had there, with lots of wonderful memories made and stories told.

Our deepest sympathy goes to Narelle & family, and also to Darms’ family. We will miss him terribly.

Christian Devotions

Where are you seated?

This school community promotes the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all children.

The Mamertine Prison is located in Rome at the foot of Capitoline Hill overlooking the ruins of the Roman forum. Built around the 7th century BC, it was Rome’s only prison at the time. It was used like a holding dungeon, where high profile prisoners were lowered into prior to their trial or execution. It was described as ‘disgusting and vile by reason of the filth, the darkness and the stench.’ It was located alongside Rome’s sewerage network, and most likely plagued by rats and other vermin. The experience of being lowered into the Mamertine prison could be likened to going down to Hell.

Today, a sign on the exterior of the building proclaims it was the prison site of Saints Peter and Paul, as it is believed the apostles were both incarcerated here prior to their executions. It was most likely here that Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians, found in the New Testament. Paul was a model of hope, often in distress, his faith was in a God who cares. He could write to the Ephesians: “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6).

Seated with Christ was a present reality for Paul. Despite being held in this loathsome dungeon, Paul experienced being in the presence of Jesus, and the atmosphere of heaven was around him.

A model for us today.

Golf back in the swing

T

he first step in easing some of Victoria’s COVID-19 restrictions has opened the door for Horsham Golf Club men’s championship leader Nick Thomson to resume his tilt at this year’s title.

Restriction changes allows for people to resume playing golf and a Horsham championship remains firmly on Thomson’s mind.

Thomson led the field by six shots ahead of Brent McIntyre after three championship rounds and one to play when COVID-19 restrictions shut down sport in March.

He has since been trying to maintain some semblance of form by hitting balls against a sheet hanging from his home pergola for the past six weeks.

He said he had been hoping for an easing of restrictions before this week’s announcement.

“It’s been a weird feeling. I’ve been keen to play any form of golf instead of just hitting balls in the back yard,” he said.

Horsham Golf Club has wasted little time and reopened its course, under strict conditions, and has developed a package for prospective new members.

Club acting manager Janene Coutts said the course was open to the public and members from today.

“We are very excited and relieved and looking forward to welcoming many new members – people who have not been members before such as footballers, netballers or anyone who thinks they would like to have a go at golf in these trying times,” she said.

The club is offering new introductory 12-month, $50-a-month memberships that provide players an opportunity to play golf seven days a week. The club’s driving range is also open.

Playing golf involves fitting in with State of Emergency guidelines and people keen to play at the Horsham course must book by calling 5382 3312.

“Our phones have already been running hot with people ringing to put their names down to play,” Ms Coutts said.

“While we’ve been given the official green light there are changes to conditions to ensure we keep everyone safe and well and to operate within government guidelines.”

Details are available from the club.

Football warning A regional football leader has warned community clubs to wait for AFL Victoria return-to-play protocols before sanctioning any training sessions.

AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon said there were still many issues needing clarification before clubs could re-launch training schedules.

“AFL Victoria is in constant consultation with State Government authorities to develop strict protocols for leagues and clubs to follow, which will allow them to return to training in a safe and controlled manner,” he said.

Mr Muldoon said apart from health concerns there were also legal issues to consider.

“If a club does call a club-sanctioned training session and ultimately does not meet the strict protocols that will be implemented, and subsequently an outbreak of COVID-19 occurs, they would be liable for the outcome,” he said.

“No liability insurance would apply, because AFL Victoria had not sanctioned this training session.”

Mr Muldoon, who said the directive also applied to netball, made the comments in the wake of the State Government easing some COVID-19 restrictions.

Some of the easing of rules involved professional outdoor team sports, including the AFL. “There are certainly a few positive signs, but still a lot of questions that need to be answered before we get a clear picture of what each club has to do to be able to train,” Mr Muldoon said.

“I cannot be any stronger in my communication around this matter. It will only take one league or club to do the wrong thing and this will put local and state governments in a position where they will reassess the restrictions that are in play. Again I repeat – do not train until you are presented with the Return to Play protocols by AFL Victoria.”

Disappointment fuels a new fire W

arracknabeal swimmer Lily Eldridge is continuing to train hard to pursue her dreams despite the devastation of not being able to compete at national level.

FOCUSED: Warracknabeal’s Lily Eldridge uses her Finis dry-land trainer to remain fit during self-isolation. Lily has had some setbacks due to COVID-19 but is as determined as ever to pursue her swimming dreams.

Lily’s mother, Kelly Ough, said her daughter had completed eight months of intense swimming and dry-land training to compete at the Australian Age Swimming Championships, due to be contested in Perth in April, 2020.

“When we received notification three weeks beforehand that this meet had been cancelled because of the coronavirus, we were pondering, ‘how do we tell Lily?’” she said.

“Lily had spent eight months dedicating her life to this one meet and she had set herself a goal of making the top 10 in Australia in her age group.

“As you can imagine, Lily took this news extremely hard. She was in a daze and kept saying, ‘Surely you are wrong and it hasn’t been cancelled – maybe they have just decided to postpone it?’.

“Unfortunately, it hadn’t been postponed, it was cancelled altogether.”

Ms Ough said it took Lily 24 hours to ‘kind of come to terms’ with the news.

“She had spent six days a week training for this and now, what was she to do?” she said.

“Why bother train when there is nothing to train for?”

Ms Ough said the coronavirus pan-

demic had an extra impact on her family, with two members of the household classed in the ‘high risk’ category.

The family went into self-isolation, which Ms Ough said caused further difficulties for Lily because she was unable to attend school or see her friends.

She said Lily had already separated from close team-mates after deciding to change swimming clubs ahead of the Australian championships.

“This choice was difficult as she had a special bond with her coach Chris from Bendigo East, but he wasn’t able to continue his coaching role due to family issues, which is the main reason Lily chose to move on,” Ms Ough said.

Self-motivated

Lily is now a member of Melbourne Vicentre Swim Club, based at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre at Albert Park.

“Lily is fortunate as they were very accepting of her still remaining to live in Warracknabeal, which means she will still be doing all her training on her own,” Ms Ough said.

She said Lily was also disappointed by the cancellation of the School Sport Australia Swimming Championships in Queensland, planned for early August.

“Lily had also set this as one of

her goals to be selected again for the School Sport Victoria team,” she said.

Ms Ough said despite the setbacks, Lily continued to focus on her sporting endeavours.

She keeps in regular contact with mentor Steve Moneghetti via phone and video calls.

“He has been a fantastic support for Lily,” Ms Ough said.

“Between the two of them, they set Lily some new goals for her to focus on during isolation.

“Lily has really shown us her true dedication to her love of swimming and we honestly couldn’t be prouder.”

Lily trains six days a week, combining running, riding, yoga, workouts and Finis dry-land swim trainer sessions.

“Lily has also been taking her younger brother, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder, along with her to help burn some of his energy,” Ms Ough said.

“We have no idea when Lily will be able to get back in a pool to train properly, but until this day comes Lily has vowed to stay as determined as ever.

“She has had several challenges in the past eight weeks and she could’ve let this affect her mental health.

“However, Lily chose to use this time positively, re-evaluating her training regime and reflecting on her long-term goals.”

Hitting the streets

Vol. 22 No. 44 Wednesday, May 13, 2020

Year-12 student Olivia Revell strides across Horsham footpaths while taking part in a Horsham College Virtual Cross Country run this week. The ‘opt-in’ competition works by students sending their timed run to teachers via running apps. Sports co-ordinator Brydie Scollary said the college would use times to determine a team of students to represent the school at a regional term-three cross-country event in Warrnambool. “The Virtual Cross Country is an opportunity for students to be physically active during the COVID-19 isolation,” she said. The students have until tomorrow to submit their times.
