Home-study challenge

BY DYLAN DE JONG

W

immera families are facing a new world order this week as their children resume studies after the Easter school holidays – primarily from home.

The region’s school leaders have been busy planning to deliver an 11week term online, with ‘remote and flexible’ learning arrangements in place to help slow the spread of coronavirus.

Premier Daniel Andrews last week announced that any student who could stay home, should stay home.

He said exceptions included children of essential-service workers and vul-

nerable children, who would be able to attend school, but would still complete their schooling electronically, under supervision.

The majority of Wimmera primary, secondary and special school students will start ‘home schooling’ today, including those in their final and ‘most important’ year of secondary education, year 12.

Warracknabeal Secondary College student Lily Duncan and St Brigid’s College school captain Kyra Clarke, from Horsham, agreed studying from home would be a challenge for all students.

They said circumstances would be especially hard for year-12 students

working towards their Victorian Certificate of Education and-or Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning, VCAL, and Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, ATAR. Both students, who are working towards their VCE and ATAR, stressed finishing school this year was a priority to gain access to a university of their choice.

Lily said she hoped to study a Bachelor of Secondary Education at Federation University next year and required an ATAR of at least 72.

She said she thrived in a face-toface learning environment, and although she was studying consistently every day, she was concerned about

how she would adapt to an online delivery.

“In the past two weeks, I’ve spent hours during the day studying to get ahead to make sure that if I don’t do as well with the online system, I’m more ahead in my study,” she said.

“I’m not typically someone who can work well online – I’m the kid in class that asks heaps of questions.”

Lily said year 12 was fast-paced enough without having to adapt to changes to the curriculum only three months into the school year.

“Year 12 is a very hard year anyway.

There’s a lot of pressure and you’re digging really deep to find all this motivation,” she said.

“You want to do really well, but with the online learning it’s daunting. If you don’t grasp the concept straight away, it’s hard – by the time you’ve understood one concept in that class, you’re onto learning something else.

“The teachers at my school are great – they’re always there to help you – but you don’t really have time to spend a lot of extra time on one concept.”

Lily said she planned to use the online experience as preparation for what university classes would be like.

“If I can, I might be interested in doing online university which might be more ideal for me,” she said.

Police happy with Easter response R

BY DEAN LAWSON

egional police leaders have applauded an overall community response to strict isolation restrictions and road laws during the Easter and school-holiday period.

But police Western Region Acting Inspector Rob Weppner said rules and restrictions remained in place and appealed for people to maintain a common-sense approach in dealing with circumstances.

He also stressed that police remained vigilant in providing services to protect the community, urging people to make use of Police Assistance Line 131 444, Crimestoppers 1800 333 000 or triple zero 000 for emergencies.

“The doors remain open 24-7 but if you need us, call us and we’ll come to you,” he said.

Mr Weppner said roads across the region had been predictably quiet during the Easter break but police, as part of Operation Nexus, had still issued 100 infringement notices.

“The good news is that we had no road fatalities. Roads were generally quiet this year,” he said.

“History shows that at the same time last year we had bumper-to-bumper traffic, a fatality and other serious-injury collisions.

“People who were on the road this year at Easter were generally doing the right thing.”

Mr Weppner also applauded a broad Wimmera community response to stage-three restrictions in place to lessen the spread of COVID-19.

“Usual holiday hot spots and popular tourism areas during Easter – places such as Grampians National Park, which is closed, Halls Gap and our lakes – were very quiet,” he said.

“People have adhered to instructions and have done the right thing.

“The message to stay at home was loud and clear and the community has responded.”

Mr Weppner said an over-arching police Operation Sentinel remained in place as part of the restrictions.

“We are supporting the directions of

the Chief Health Officer that people should only leave home for shopping, medical, work or exercise requirements,” he said.

“Enforcement involves identifying high-risk behaviour that is in deliberate breach of the rules.

“Police members across the Wimmera have discretion, but if what they see is deliberate, blatant or obvious they will issue infringement notices.

“In our region infringement numbers are nothing like what we are seeing in Melbourne due to differences in population, but the same rules apply and we have units dedicated for the role to ensure restrictions are not breached.

Students hitting the books at home From page 1 Circumstances have led to an array of Victorian education schedules.

End-of-year exams will be postponed until at least December, a General Achievement Test, GAT, will move from June to October or November and school-based assessment tasks will be reduced where possible to relieve pressure on students as they move to remote and flexible learning arrangements.

The government has also asked universities to delay the start of the 2021 university year to account for impacts of the curriculum change on senior secondary students.

Kyra plans to study medicine next year and needs an ATAR of at least 90.

She said although the changes could hinder her study in some regards, she had a back-up plan.

“Next year I want to take a gap year. After that I’m hoping to get into medicine and I want to become an anaesthetist,” she said.

“Looking at my VCE scores from last year I might be a little under, so I’ve looked at other pathways, like biomedicine, before going into medicine.

“I’ve spoken with my mum and she said even if I had to do more study next year to get where I wanted, that’s what I would do.”

Aside from adapting to a new way of learning during the most stressful year of secondary school, Kyra and her friends will miss out on spending time together.

Ways of releasing some of the pressure from school – such as lunch-

Wednesday, April 15, 2020

St Brigid’s College Horsham student Kyra Clarke time breaks, 18th-birthday parties and even social sport – are now out of reach.

“I’ve definitely been missing my friends – we’ve been using FaceTime, group chats on Snapchat or apps like that to communicate, just trying to keep something going,” Kyra said.

“It’s been tough not seeing my friends at lunch time, not being able to blow off some steam on the oval or in the stadium and in study period not being able to bounce ideas off other students for support of your work.

“I think this will affect some students’ mental health – it’s a bit of stress relief to be able to go out, see your friends, play sport and get your mind off study so when you go back, you’re fresh and ready to go.”

Kyra said she felt fortunate to be able to continue her schooling, despite circumstances out of her control.

“There’s one positive way of looking at it – we’re really lucky that we’re still able to receive an education. Some people without internet or in developing countries can’t receive that education. You have to look at it that way,” she said.

“We need to look ahead to our future beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. No matter how this will affect year 12, if you have your family surrounding you, hopefully that will help you persevere and keep what’s most important in the front of your mind.”

Victorian Department of Education guidelines state all students who can

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

learn from home, must learn from home.

For learning requirements that cannot occur at a distance such as Vocational Education and Training, VET, small groups of VCE and VCAL students are permitted to attend school, with appropriate physical distancing and hygiene measures in place.

Some students undertaking VET might have the award of their VCE or VCAL delayed until the beginning of 2021 so they can complete mandatory practical or workplace learning requirements.

Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority is also examining a compressed end-of-year exam schedule – including slightly shortening each exam – in recognition of the disruption caused by the pandemic.

“It is about having common sense, but again, if what you do is blatant, obvious, deliberate and high risk you will probably get a ticket.”

Mr Weppner said circumstances might also lead to opportunistic criminal behaviour and people should continue to be the ‘eyes and ears’ for police.

He said this particularly applied for shops, clubrooms and other buildings that might usually be occupied but were now empty.

“The community is our most valuable asset so if you see something, say something. Give us a call,” he said.

• More police support, page 19.

Stolen masks a slap in face Wimmera Health Care Group is calling for community calm and consideration after a thief or thieves stole personal protective equipment from Wimmera Base Hospital and Wimmera Medical Centre.

Chief executive Catherine Morley said it was disappointing someone had taken masks from the hospital Emergency Department waiting room as well as from the entrance to the medical centre.

“In the Emergency Department if someone comes in and they have respiratory symptoms they put a mask on. Some people have taken extra to use at home,” she said.

“People need to respect the equipment we have in our health service and use it as we request them to do.

“We need to ensure there is enough PPE for our staff. The main thing is for us to ensure our team members are safe.”

Statewide figures yesterday showed Wimmera cases of COVID-19 remain unchanged from the previous day with Horsham, three; Northern Grampians, three; Ararat, one; Yarriambiack, one; West Wimmera, one; Hindmarsh, none; and Buloke, none.

They also showed the total number of COVID-19 cases in Victoria had risen by 10 to 1291 as virus testing expanded across the state.

Of the 1291 cases, 1029 had been in metropolitan Melbourne and 236 in regional Victoria. Several other cases were under investigation.

Of 40 people in hospital with the virus, 15 were in intensive care.

The number of people who had recovered from the virus was 1118.

No amount of money is enough T

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

elangatuk East’s Karen Rees believes no amount of money will ever be enough to repay the Royal Children’s Hospital for saving her son’s life.

It has not stopped her from trying.

For the past decade, Mrs Rees and her husband Luke have co-ordinated the Telangatuk East Good Friday Appeal, raising money towards life-saving care for the state’s sickest children.

The couple started fundraising for the appeal to give back to the Melbourne hospital after their eldest son, Joel, suffered a stroke in December 2008, aged three.

For a district with a population fewer than 100, Telangatuk East clearly punches above its weight on Good Friday.

Mrs Rees said people had donated $121,427 under the community’s banner since 2010.

“To be honest, I am shocked by the total,” she said.

“In 2009, the community raised $1200 and then we requested Telangatuk East be under its own banner, rather than being included in Harrow’s total,” she said.

“I thought if people could see where their donations were going they could have a sense of pride in it.”

This year, the community raised $13,360, including $10,485 through a ‘Virtual Tin Shake’, an online fundraising channel in light of coronavirus social-distancing measures.

It was the fourth-highest tally recorded for the tin shake throughout Victoria.

“I thought it was amazing,” Mrs Rees said.

“Even though I appreciate the total, I thought given the circumstances, even half that amount would be amazing.

“I know it’s been a tough time for a lot of people, with many losing their jobs.”

Mrs Rees said the result showed people’s strong affiliation with the hospital.

“I think the Good Friday Appeal is one of those charities everybody is happy to donate to,” she said.

“If they haven’t needed the hospital themselves, or know someone who has, then they are happy they haven’t needed it.

“So many people locally have needed the hospital and will continue to, because accidents and illnesses happen.”

The Rees family usually runs a golf day prior to the appeal to kick-start fundraising.

Mrs Rees said this year’s event was cancelled because of COVID-19 restrictions, although sponsors were content to donate regardless.

“That got us off to a good start,” she said.

“I also have a Facebook page to let people know what is going on, so I was able to let them know about the virtual tin shake.

“I also send out emails reminding people to donate.

“The links and emails I sent regarding the virtual tin were shared by family, friends and others. It’s a big reason this year’s appeal has gone so well, considering the circumstances.”

Mrs Rees said people also made donations totalling $2875 into a Telan-

Mrs Rees usually spends Good Friday knocking on doors and rattling tins.

“We usually travel a couple of hundred kilometres on the day,” she said.

“People are expecting us, they are used to us coming. We usually go along the river and other people in the community always go to Rocklands, where there are lots of people camping.

“People are so generous, they always clean out the coins in their console or glove box, which adds up.

“Not being able to do that made a big difference to the appeal.

“I think some people were probably busy and forgot, without seeing the telethon or tin rattlers around town.”

Good Friday is always an important one on the Rees’ family calendar.

“I think I was even more emotional than normal this year, because I am usually busy collecting all day,” Mrs Rees said.

The day is also one of reflection.

Joel spent 10 weeks in the Royal Children’s Hospital, learning to walk and talk again after suffering a stroke.

“For that 10 weeks, the hospital was home to us,” Mrs Rees said.

“In the following year we would have blocks of therapy and we were back again.

“When you first arrive at the hospital you think you’re coping well and then there comes a time when you realise you didn’t know that you needed something.

“They have a whole roster of staff

there to help you – a team of people to help you get through your experience.

“They don’t just care for the patients, but for the whole family.

“We still have an association with the hospital. Joel has an appointment in a couple of weeks, which we will now do virtually.”

Mrs Rees said although Joel would never be ‘fully recovered’, he was doing well.

“Joel is fantastic,” she said.

“He will always have some weakness down his left side, but as far as doing anything goes, he can still do everything a 15-year-old wants to do.

“He loves his sport and he’s very passionate about farming.

“There is no amount of money that could repay the hospital for what they have done for us.

“We are forever indebted to them, not only for what they did for Joel, but for our whole family.”

Friday’s appeal raised $18.2-million, after Premier Daniel Andrews announced the State Government would make up the shortfall between this year’s tally and last year’s total of $18-million.

People throughout the Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians supported the virtual tin shake. Totals include: Telangatuk East $10,649, Warracknabeal $6304, Ararat $5131, Horsham $4573, Rupanyup $3505, Stawell $2793, Kaniva $1841, Donald $1485, St Arnaud $1257, Murtoa $788, Rainbow $723, Dimboola $685, Harrow $536, Nhill $272, Jeparit $258, Marnoo $164, Willaura $120, Hopetoun $37, and Goroke $11.

People can continue to donate online at donation.goodfridayappeal.com.au.

Society primes for renewed approach W

e watch with interest how society and our leaders approach a reinvigorated buyAustralian movement when we ultimately emerge from the COVID-19 threat.

During the emergency, the scarcity or unavailability of products including critical medical resources, has hit a nerve for many.

There are now a growing number of people keen to consider more closely what and how Australians are or should be growing, producing, manufacturing and, critically, buying.

It appears that in times of great national anxiety, big-picture issues gain a certain clarity and the Australian-made-and-owned ideal is among them.

While it’s all good and well to simply identify a need to refocus on this message and promote the cause, the real need is to work on ways to make it as easy as possible to happen.

While we’re seeing manufacturers

step up to meet all sorts of immediate demands during the crisis, generating success in a usual market environment is usually far from simple.

Open international markets, balanceof-trade requirements and appropriate Australian workplace conditions and salaries are all ingredients in a complicated industry melting pot.

A nationalistic conscience in the marketplace has always represented a starting point in this push for people to buy Australian products.

But reality is the buy-Australian message will always be up against it if products cannot match the price of cheap overseas imports – in many cases regardless of quality.

Most Australians live on week-toweek salaries and every dollar counts at that moment of sale.

In a pinch, we often cannot help but choose the most affordable option if it is readily available, does the job or feeds the family.

We’ve seen businesses create prod-

ucts and then cleverly massage scales of production to generate a living.

It can be a tough balancing act between expansive or conservative approaches and it is impressive that some can make it work.

The reality is Australian society is a victim of its national economic wealth and internationally our manufacturers, if they want to expand in a big way, are up against overseas countries where cheap labour abounds.

With companies being exposed to this sort of environment and struggling to compete, there is little wonder many consider manufacturing everyday items we might and should be able to produce in this country not

worth the worry, expense, time and effort.

It appears just too hard and we have seen many cases where an Australian manufacturer or wholesaler has had a crack at breaking the mould, only to fall on the sword and sell out to a distant investor with little national, state or regional empathy.

The arrival and impact of COVID-19 has magnified fresh awareness that perhaps we should take notice of decades of promotion and support our home-grown industries.

It has raised questions about how we might change the market environment, promote Australian products and ultimately generate higher levels of product security.

But there is more to this than a basic call for people to read product labels before making a purchase.

In the end, it will come down to the price consumers pay for the final product. The hip pocket means everything.

If we produce something in Australia, we should aim to make it not only better and more readily available than an imported equivalent, but also less expensive.

As Australians we should be able to, in relative terms, afford what our country produces and work in a system that realistically stimulates the concept of producing and supporting ‘our own’.

How do we make it happen in a contemporary trade environment? It is hard to know.

Do we need perhaps some clever national, state, regional or municipal incentives to help shape our shopping habits, critically based on cost? Most likely.

History shows we can be clever at developing creative economic processes when under pressure, experience periods of revelation, which we are going through, or when the doors to innovation and opportunity swing open.

State of Emergency extended A State of Emergency in Victoria will continue for another four weeks to give the State Government the powers it needs to keep slowing the spread of coronavirus.

Premier Daniel Andrews has confirmed the State of Emergency declared last month would extend until midnight May 11, 2020 to continue measures designed to ‘flatten the curve’ of coronavirus and give the health system the best chance of managing the virus.

Mr Andrews said the month-long extension would ensure the government could continue its strict enforcement of social distancing, isolation and other vital directions put in place by the MAINTAINING CONNECTIONS: Residents of East Grampians Health Service agedcare homes spent Easter catching up with family and friends via technology. The agedcare centres are not accepting visitors to protect residents and staff from the potential spread of COVID-19. Residents have been using video technology such as Skype to keep in touch with loved ones and maintain connections. Residents are also receiving letters from Ararat district children as part of a Kindness in the Mail program. The health service is running the program in conjunction with Resilient Ararat. Pictured with the first delivery of mail are Lowe Street resident Jean and health promotion officer Kelsey Weight. People can send letters, stories and artwork to residents at 70 Lowe Street, Garden View Court or Parklands Hostel at Willaura by posting items to: Kindness in the Mail, C/- EGHS Community Health Centre, PO Box 155, Ararat, 3377.

Countback to fill Ararat vacancy A countback procedure to fill a vacancy on Ararat Rural City Council will happen at 10.30am on May 7.

The countback will occur following the resignation of Cr David Pettman and will happen online using Cisco Webex platform.

The vacancy will be filled by a countback of the vacating councillor’s votes from the 2016 Ararat Rural City Council election. This is in-

stead of voters voting in a by-election. Victorian Electoral Commission returning officer Katrina Collins said the vacating councillor’s votes would be distributed to the remaining eligible unsuccessful candidates from the 2016 election, based on voters’ preferences.

“The candidate who gains more than 50 percent of the countback votes will be elected,” she said.

Chief Health Officer. “While we are starting to see some improvement in the rate of transmission, now is not the time for complacency,” he said.

“We still have a long way to go. If we relax now, the virus will start spreading quickly and our health system will be overwhelmed.

“There are only four reasons to leave your home: food and supplies, medical care and caregiving, exercise, and work or education.

“Police have strong powers to enforce these directions and can issue on-the-spot fines, including up to $1652 for individuals and up to $9913 for businesses.”

Support to keep learning

BY DYLAN DE JONG

W

immera kindergartens are planning to provide flexible early-childhood education options as students go back to class for term two.

In order to retain students across Victorian kindergartens, the State Government announced it would provide up to $45-million in extra funding to provide free three and four-year-old kinder programs for term two.

Horsham and District Kindergarten Association, which manages kindergartens in Northern Grampians, Horsham and Hindmarsh municipalities, opened for term two yesterday.

HDKA executive officer Pauline Butler said State Government support had allowed her kindergartens to continue teaching and caring for children.

“We’re going ahead as planned unless we are told otherwise,” she said.

“We will remain open for families to attend kindergarten and encourage families to send their children to enrolled programs.”

Ms Butler said before the Easter holiday break staff had noticed a decline in attendance as more parents chose to keep their children at home.

“It is really important for children to continue their early-years education.

They don’t have to attend, but the services will remain open for families who are wanting to attend,” she said.

“This financial support will help families keep their children enrolled in the kindergarten service, rather than withdrawing them because they cannot afford to pay the fee.

“We want to keep families enrolled and not financially burden them in

the event they have had a change in circumstances.

“This will also allow essential workers to do their jobs, because we need them on the frontline.”

Ms Butler said kindergartens were revising their programs to adhere to social-distancing measures.

“We are looking at modifying our programs to minimise the contact between children and staff,” she said.

“It’s a work in progress. We started to make changes before the school holidays.

“We’ll be looking at different ways to do things, like changing pick-up and drop-off times, how we can space children out in the rooms and the outdoor yards and constantly monitoring our hygiene practices.

“We might have two students at a table rather than six. When we are reading a story to the children, we will make sure there’s social distancing on the mat, so children are 1.5 metres away from each other.”

Ms Butler said the kindergartens were planning to implement online learning options for students who stayed at home.

“We’re looking at a blended mix of what we do – some families who choose not to attend the kindergarten program will receive play-based learning online,” she said.

“Our pedagogical leaders are working on a bit of a tool kit for educators to assist them with that mixed model of learning as well.”

Ms Butler said part of moving for-

ward was educating students and parents about correct social-distancing measures.

“It’s about educating the kids around social distancing. A lot of education will happen over the first couple of weeks,” she said.

“Kids adapt very quickly. We’ll be further educating our students about coronavirus and the importance of washing their hands and what germs are.

“We’ve put information out to families about this on our social media pages in regard to this virus and we are hoping parents have already started this education with their children.

“We’ll be trying to reinforce that to make sure children understand.”

Business Support Fund

OPEN

How to support local business OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS

Now more than ever, it’s time to support the local businesses and industries that make Yarriambiack Shire Council so great - even if we’re doing that from inside our home.

• Order takeaway for lunch or dinner, directly from the venue to support their income.

• Purchase a gift voucher now, for future use.

• Book an event for later in the year. This will assist not only the event businesess, but also their many suppliers.

• Like, share and comment on social media posts and ‘stories’ of local businesses.

• Look out for each other and share the positive ‘news’ stories far and wide • Write positive online reviews for businesses • Leave a tip

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is calling for the Federal Government’s $1500-a-fortnight JobKeeper payments to be exempt from Victoria’s payroll tax.

The Federal Government package is a boost for the small businesses and workers most hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

But Ms Kealy said without changes to Victorian law, these emergency-relief payments would be subject to payroll tax.

“For many of our small businesses, this relief package will be the difference between staying open and keeping people employed or closing their doors,” she said.

“Employers in Lowan who are keeping their workforce on during this crisis must have peace of mind they won’t be paying additional payroll tax on Federal Government JobKeeper payments.”

Victoria’s limited payroll tax relief for COVID-19 cuts out at $3-million, compared with $10-million in NSW. Ms Kealy said in some cases, where the businesses employed mainly juniors or people on low wages, the JobKeeper payment would be higher than pre-existing wages.

“It is unfair that employers in that situation should now face a Victorian payroll tax bill for receiving Federal Government support,” she said.

“If we do not make these changes, small businesses already hard hit by measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 will be hit again.”

University student helps her peers A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera tertiary education student is working hard to help her fellow students struggling to adapt to online learning, relaying their concerns back to her university’s senior management.

Horsham student Verana HunterRaye is vice-chair of Federation University’s student senate.

The senate has proven to be a vital service in helping students facing hardships during the COVID-19 crisis.

The student senate, with representatives from each campus, is working with the student body across Federation University to file student concerns with senior management’s COVID-19 response team to help create solutions to assist students.

Mrs Hunter-Raye said some students were struggling financially after losing their jobs or finding it hard to work through online course content.

“Students are scared of what is going on. They’re cut off from their families, from their friends and now they are cut off from their university,” she said.

“We want to make sure they know they are not cut off – we are still here, it’s just virtual.

“A lot of students are facing financial issues, especially international students, because they have lost their jobs and are not eligible for a lot of government support that is out there.

“Federation Uni has a smaller support pool of $1500 over five weeks to help for things like computer access and getting internet connection, but that’s a short-term solution.”

Federation University students tran-

sitioned to online learning after the Horsham campus closed on March 30 in response to the virus, while the TAFE’s method of delivery is still being delegated.

The student senate is also working with the university to create a booking system that allows a small number of students to access the campus on a rotational basis.

“There were concerns raised about poor connectivity to the internet for some of the rural students – that’s why they decided we need a way to get students in to access internet and printing services,” Mrs Hunter-Raye said.

She said it was rewarding to be able to help students.

“It’s really good to have this communication between the students and to be able to create services for everyone,” she said.

“Being the person in the middle, I’ve found it vital to let the university know what’s going on, because they’re sitting at the top, they don’t actually see what’s happening to the students at ground level.”

Mrs Hunter-Raye, with a little more than a year left of her Bachelor of Social Sciences, said she was unsure how the online changes would affect her studies in the long term.

“I don’t think I’m going to get the scores I’m used to getting,” she said.

“I like to keep a distinction minimum average. I’m very much a handson, face-to-face style learner, so this has been a challenge for me, having to learn all these new models of learning with virtual classrooms.

“In time, I might be able to adapt really well to the new model. Fortunately the university is supporting us

LEADING THE WAY: Federation University Horsham student Verana Hunter-Raye has been working hard to help her peers adapt to drastic changes to university life, while also managing her own workload.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER in the way that if we have to repeat our subjects, they won’t be charging us for those subjects.”

Federation University senior vice-chancellor Helen Bartlett said the university was also looking to allow TAFE students on campus in small groups, practising correct social distancing, to continue the more practical trade courses.

“With our TAFE courses, there are some courses we can put online rela-

tively easily, but for others, like trade training, that is much more difficult to do,” she said.

“We are hoping we will be able to teach very small groups using social distancing, so we can still provide qualified trade graduates for the region.

“We’ve been engaged with the State Government on this matter.”

Ms Bartlett said courses such as nursing and teaching that required

work placement would turn to a more theoretical and competency-based approach to minimise physical contact.

“Nursing and teaching are other areas we are discussing with accreditation bodies to consider a more flexible approach to student placements,” she said.

“We are asking for more discretion around the nature of clinical learning, which would take into account more virtual learning and more competency-based assessment rather than the number of hours that’s normally required.

“We’re making good progress on these matters.

“We are hoping in the next few weeks to have more clarity.”

Ms Bartlett said moving into a virtual learning environment presented an opportunity for the university to work on optimising its online delivery, which could benefit more remote students in the future – a positive to take away from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This has opened a lot more opportunity for us, in particular students in regional and rural locations,” she said.

“I think what we will see in the future and what we are certainly thinking about already is introducing more flexibility for students to access our education.

“This is a bit of an experiment to see what works for students and staff.

“This is a positive to take out of this situation and something we are very interested in developing for the future.

“It’s about enhancing the opportunities, so that individuals living in the Wimmera can enhance their own potential to contribute to the economy of those regional communities.”

PUBLIC NOTICES 15 April 2020

Together We Are Stronger

A spotlight on support for local businesses during the Coronavirus pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic is causing economic disruption in many sectors across our region.

These are challenging times for our local businesses and it is important that Local Government and the business community work together to ensure that we can all continue to provide services to our customers now, and into the future.

Business Support Fund The Victorian Government has launched the

$500 million Business Support Fund to support small businesses in the sectors hit hardest by the pandemic so they can survive and keep people in work.

For further information visit www.business.vic.gov.au/ Please note applications close in less than 50 days.

HRCC SUPPORTS CALLS FOR ONLINE COUNCIL MEETINGS Horsham Rural City Council Mayor Mark Radford has echoed the Municipal Association of Victoria’s call for the Victorian Government to urgently change laws preventing Council Ordinary and Special Meetings to take place online.

The current Local Government Act requires Councillors to be physically in attendance at a Council meeting in order to participate in Council decision-making. If there isn’t a majority of Councillors in attendance, Councils cannot make a quorum and the meeting cannot proceed.

Cr Radford said he had written to Minister for Local Government Adem Somyurek to add HRCC’s voice to the many Councils which have requested urgent changes to the Local Government Act. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday April 27, and Cr Radford hoped changes would be made in time.

Keeping music alive in bleak times A

BY DYLAN DEJONG

Wimmera musician is making a promise to continue live streaming his music while COVID-19 restrictions continue after performing for an online music festival at the weekend.

Pomonal musician-songwriter Russ Kellett performed to audiences live on Facebook for the Wimmera’s maiden On the Brink Festival on Easter Saturday.

He joined the likes of Wimmera musicians Neil Murray and Jeff Woodward in a series of live streams, designed to raise money for Wildlife Victoria.

The festival was originally to be at organiser Claudia Haenel’s Trust for Nature property at St Helens Plains, near Horsham, but COVID-19 forced her to cancel and move everything online.

“Claudia is a champion with what she’s doing.

I’ll be live streaming more sets for her, because I think she’s doing a wonderful thing. Full credit to her to be able to raise money,” Mr Kellett said.

“In these crazy times people have forgotten about the bushfires and that’s why this festival was created – I’m glad things didn’t get forgotten, because even though we’re all self-isolating, there are still people and animals who are affected by the bushfires.”

Mr Kellett is used to playing his eclectic repertoire of covers and original songs to audiences in a more traditional setting, in front of a live audience in venues across the Wimmera.

He said he had to adapt to the online world so he could continue his passion for entertaining.

“As a musician I believe in stewardship – we’re responsible to put smiles on people’s faces and give them a good time. If we can still do that while we are self-isolating, that’s what our job will be,” he said.

“I started doing live streams on Monday nights since the restrictions started. The whole thing is bewildering to me because I’m so used to doing gigs all the time. I was meant to do four gigs last weekend, but they all went by the wayside.”

Mr Kellett said he was glad to be able to continue interacting with an audience online.

“The fact that people are watching and requesting songs and being interactive is quite cool,

especially when I’m sitting in my home studio playing to a camera,” he said.

“I’m lucky, I’ve got people supporting me to do these live shows and a few people are buying CDs and that sort of thing – at least things still go on. What I miss the most, being a musician, is that contact with people.”

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr Kellett played gigs in venues around Stawell, aimed at raising money for bushfire relief.

He said he was grateful to be able to continue supporting the cause despite the restrictions.

“I was fortunate enough to be a part of raising some money for victims of the bushfires at different venues, and helping out the animals is just another part of that,” he said.

“I played at a fundraiser at the Nash in Stawell, where we raised a few thousand dollars and also helped out at the Gift Hotel, where we raised about $18,000. I feel privileged that I could help out with stuff like that by playing music.

“It’s not just about raising money for Wildlife Victoria – it’s about raising awareness for the fact that we need to think about our environment and our constant impact on it.”

Mrs Haenel said her festival was able to raise $500 for Wildlife Victoria through online efforts.

She said she hoped the live festival event could go ahead in September this year.

“It is planned for September 19. We had to bring it forward so it did not clash with the Horsham Show,” she said.

“In the meantime, to keep our Facebook page alive and keep artists playing, we will be having ‘The Green Room’ live streams nightly at 9pm, just for entertainment and to try to generate some income for artists.

“It’s like holding an in-between phase – we want to be able to keep people connected and people picking up their instruments.

“It’s important to retain connectivity, health and wellbeing. Where would we be without the arts and music in these times?

“Musicians’ income streams have been cut overnight.

“I hope that I can facilitate that, and to promote an upcoming festival. I’d like to know I can look after those artists, as they look after me.”

Volunteers needed to keep connection A Wimmera support group is seeking volunteers willing to reach out to community members needing a friend throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Horsham Centre for Participation chief executive Julie Pettett said the organisation was preparing for increased demand for services and required more volunteers to match with clients.

“We feel there is going to be a growing need,” she said.

“We are wanting people to volunteer to provide social support – to stay in contact with people in the form of phone calls, writing cards or emails.

“We want volunteers who will become friends with someone who is feeling isolated.”

Ms Pettett said the organisation was aiming to provide help for anyone who needed it.

“We don’t want people sitting there feeling

Kaniva clean-up work continues E

BY DYLAN DE JONG

nvironment Protection Authority Victoria leaders have reassured the Kaniva community that clean-up and monitoring will proceed at an illegal waste dump on a large rural property south of the town.

Work is set to resume in late April, following a break during the summer months at the direction of Country Fire Authority.

The CFA directed EPA to limit work on the property during severe, extreme and total fire ban days to mitigate health risks.

North-west regional manager Scott Pigdon said EPA would start stabilisation and remediation works at the property ‘to remove all waste from the site to the point where no further monitoring is required’.

“We will be on site late April and early May,” he said.

“We are continuing our drone surveys on very specific patches of ground over the 1400 acres and we are just about to start some site stabilisation works.

“Over the summer we did a lot of low-risk activities including drone works, further planning, groundwater monitoring, community consultation, planning and procurement.

“At the moment everything is going to plan. Our window is now open to go into stabilisation works and other works in a couple of months’ time.”

Mr Pigdon said EPA was working with West Wimmera Shire Council to make the site’s roads more accessible.

“A large proportion of the site is sand and we are finding a lot of our vehicles are getting bogged,” he said.

“We need to shore up a few roads. Council will be assisting us to do some of those works.”

Mr Pigdon said although the latest work with GWMWater showed no indications of contamination to groundwater, surveying work would continue for other potential risks on the site.

EPA exercised its power to take over management of the site to secure and monitor the property in December last year following property owner Graham White’s failure to comply with a clean-up notice.

Mr Pigdon said EPA was paying all costs of the clean-up at the site, but he could not provide details about the overall costs of the ongoing legal investigation.

“This has been an enormous amount of work – it is a challenging site,” he said.

Grampians, Arapiles-Tooan parks closed Grampians National Park and Arapiles-Tooan State Park are closed to visitors until further notice as part of efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park is partially open to Natimuk district community, but only for exercise purposes.

The popular tourist destinations were among statewide parks and reserves that Parks Victoria closed ahead of the Easter long weekend.

Parks Victoria made the call under the direction of the state’s Chief Health Officer.

John reunites with Susie Solace comes in many forms, and sometimes the smaller things can make a big impact on someone’s day.

For aged-care resident John Aucote, 81, this came in the form of having an unexpected visit from his beloved golden retriever, Susie, at Rural Northwest Health’s Hopetoun campus.

Strict COVID-19 lockdown measures have meant residents in aged-care facilities across Victoria have been unable to see friends and family face-to-face.

Rural Northwest Health in Hopetoun has created a non-contact area where residents can see their loved ones through a glass door and communicate over the phone.

And thanks to the safe area, John has been able to see his daughter Debbie Aucote and even make contact with his best friend, Susie.

John had been separated from Susie since restrictions came into force and was missing her a great deal.

Debbie said Susie’s visit came at a much-needed time to lift John’s spirits. He has been in respite at the Hopetoun campus since early March.

“Susie was excited to see her dad, she was able to go in there, but I had to stay out. She licked him to death,” Debbie laughed.

“It means a lot to him. He has had the dog since she was a pup and she is now 12.

“It really made him smile – it made his day.”

Debbie is the only family mem-

She said she was trying to keep in contact with her father every day and visits with Susie would become regular.

“He is a bit depressed because he can’t see me as much as he’d like,” she said.

“He can’t give me a hug or anything and that makes him a bit sad.

“But once the virus goes – I said to him, it will get a lot better.

“It was very nice of the staff to organise that. Dad was feeling a

bit down before that happened – now he’s happy again.”

Rural Northwest Health is investigating how meetings with immediate family members can occur at its Warracknabeal campus.

At Hopetoun, a resident’s family can book in a visit with reception and residents are then taken to greet their family at the locked external sliding doors. No contact is made, and telephones are used to talk to each other.

Social-distancing rules must also be followed by those attending.

Stop hoarding chemicals: VFF V

ictorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke is reminding farmers to stop hoarding chemicals leading up to Wimmera’s cropping season.

“Like toilet paper, we’re telling people not to hoard chemicals – get what you need and leave some on the shelves for the next person,” he said.

Mr Jochinke said Wimmera farmers were struggling to obtain crop-establishment chemicals in the lead-up to the cropping season, due to start in less than a month.

“Farmers are going to be needing all their crop-establishment chemicals at the moment, like glyphosates, knock-downs to remove weeds, and pre-emergence chemicals like Trifluralin,” he said.

“These are challenging to get your hands on at the moment – people will be requiring them in the next three to four weeks.”

Mr Jochinke said a combination of an unprecedented spike in demand and freighting restrictions had likely caused shortages of chemicals to Victorian farmers.

“It appears a lot of the companies didn’t expect the east coast to come into high demand with everyone wanting to get product home earlier than usual, so that’s put pressure on companies getting supply in,” he said.

“There’s also the restriction in trade that has slowed the supply chain. There were factories in China that had issues too that slowed the production.

“Three of those issues aren’t directly related to coronavirus, but with restrictions

Reading combats isolation

David Jochinke on freighting chemicals, the combination of all these issues has likely created a supply issue.”

Mr Jochinke reassured farmers that products would be available.

“Products will be coming through – there’s no need to get angry at suppliers if they’re finding it challenging to get supply in themselves,” he said.

“It’s not their fault we’re in this predicament.”

Mr Jochinke said the agriculture sector could still operate under current conditions as long as people continued adapting to social-distancing measures.

“We’ve got to adhere to social distancing. In agriculture there’s no restrictions to us doing our job, but we’ve got to adapt to this situation,” he said.

“We’re open for business – if you’re legitimately doing work and need to be in a location, be there, do your work, do it mindfully and limit your risk to others.”

When forced to stay indoors why not escape with a good book?

That’s the message from Horsham West and Haven Primary School teachers and staff members sharing their passion for reading with students and the school community.

Via the school’s Facebook page, teachers and other staff are posting photos of themselves and their favourite books from when they were younger – books that helped shape their hearts and minds.

At a time when national reading levels are down, the school is working hard to develop students’ passion for reading and give them a lifelong ticket to go anywhere.

Classroom teacher Emily Landwehr: “Reading can take you on a journey, to a place never seen

and impossible to visit. It connects you to the past, the present and what could be.

“Reading can warm your heart, make you laugh or bring you to tears, creating a world in your mind that is yours to keep.

“At Horsham West and Haven Primary School we want to share our love of reading with our students, share not only the books we are reading now but those from our past which have helped shape who we are.”

Classroom teacher Jill McLeod: “We are inspired to promote reading and what better way than showing students how much we love it ourselves.

“We aim to motivate children to want to read so they will practice reading independently and ulti-

mately become fluent, proficient readers who enjoy reading. After all, we can say reading is super important – and we frequently do – but demonstrating it by sharing our favourite books has a special power.”

Specialist teacher Larissa Riddell: “Reading as a young human most definitely shaped me into the person I am today.

“I was the kind of child who would jump into wardrobes to see if Narnia really did exist or sit on a chair and wish with all my might for it to grow wings and fly me off somewhere magical.

“Reading allowed me to completely immerse myself in imaginary worlds. It’s really not very surprising now that I became a performing-arts teacher.”

Animal welfare is key H

lingerie manchester

BY DYLAN DE JONG

orsham animal rescue groups and vet practices are continuing to support animal welfare through COVID19 restrictions after adjusting their operations to minimise the spread of the virus.

Horsham PAWS pet rescue is now only taking on animals in urgent cases to prevent euthanasia and has ceased rehoming animals.

Rescue operator Penny Stemp said she decided to stop her adoption program as she could no longer fully assess applicants in person due to restrictions.

“We have put Horsham PAWS into lockdown,” she said.

“We like to be very careful about where our animals go and a good, thorough introduction is important to us, so we are currently not doing adoptions.”

Ms Stemp said she would continue working with Horsham council to save animals from euthanasia, after saving three kittens in the past fortnight.

“We are keeping in close contact with the council in case any animals come in,” she said.

“We are receiving lots of inquiries for kittens. People are wanting a kitten to entertain their kids while they are home – but it’s a decision that lasts longer than coronavirus, they need to be thinking very carefully about getting a pet.”

Horsham Veterinary Clinic and Animal Hospital is performing essential procedures, but has halted all routine procedures including de-sexing and nail trimming.

Clinic owner and veterinarian Dr Debbie Delahanty said her clinic had stopped allowing people inside and instead was collecting pets from the car park.

She urged people to firstly call for a phone consultation.

“We want everyone to ring us before they come so we can plan for their visits,” Dr Delahunty said.

“We ask people who come to wait in the car park and phone us when they arrive.

“We will come to them in their car, wearing protective clothing. We are not allowing people in the building in order to minimise our risk of exposure.”

Dr Delahunty said her clinic was also ceasing all non-urgent vaccinations.

“This was a really tough decision we had to make,” she said.

“We have decided to postpone annual vaccinations, but puppy vaccinations are still a must.

Season 19 – Week 41

WEST

The Australian wool market has shown signs of improvement in this series, recording overall increases in all merino fleece types. Brokers actively encouraged only genuine sellers to enter the market, resulting in 22% of the offering being withdrawn prior to sale. This action had a twofold effect. Firstly, it reduced the overall offering, increasing demand on the lots remaining.

Secondly, it increased buyer confidence, as they realised the wool still in the sale was more likely to be sold. The result was price increases across the country. The individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) rose by 4 to 70 cents, pushing the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) up by 14 cents for the week, which closed at 1,301 cents. An event of note this week, was the inaugural Online Open-Cry (OOC) auction, using video conferencing tool Zoom, held in Sydney on the second day of selling. An initiative suggested by the industry COVID-19 working group, in effort to work towards contingency options, as COVID-19 restrictions escalate. AWEX working together with industry, trialled OOC auctions with great success, so much so, that a decision was made to sell 61 lots before the start of the traditional Sydney auction. Two brokers offered wool under this new platform, which was well supported by buyers. This initiative was well received by all participants and provides an option to continue selling, should the physical auction rooms be closed.

Next week was originally scheduled for a one-week Easter recess, however a decision was made by the National Auction Selling Committee (NASC) to roster a sale in this week (Week 42), to provide another selling opportunity for growers wanting to sell. The national offering reduces to 21,523 bales. Due to the small number of lots, only one-day sales are required.

one time. We are wearing a face mask and gloves and being very careful with our introductions with applicants.”

Mrs Stow said her rigorous screening process would now be over the phone.

She said she also had to ask applicants about their health before allowing them in the rescue centre to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19.

“We are very thorough around our matching methods,” she said.

“We have to ask what their lifestyle was like before COVID-19 and what it will be after COVID-19, if they have employment and the time to care for the animal,” she said.

“Before any meetings occur, we ascertain over the phone whether they have been overseas, whether they are ill and we have been creating a lot of videos to show them the personality of the animals too – we have never had to go to this degree before.”

Horsham Pet Lodge owner and operator Michelle Christopher said she was only a call away if people needed someone to take care of their animals on a short-term basis.

“We are staying open. If people need someone to look after their pets, we are here,” she said.

“Just call our phone number – I’ll always be able to get to the phone. I’m always contactable.

“We haven’t got many clients at the moment because of school holidays.

“For the clients I do see there is minimal contact. We are very mindful of the distance and constantly cleaning surfaces.”

“We will manage this on a case-by-case basis. We are not stopping vaccines, we are just limiting them.”

Dr Delahunty said it was vital the clinic adapted to all COVID-19 restrictions to continue operating.

“The reason we are doing this is so we are here for the long haul,” she said.

“As a result, some staff have taken a reduction in hours.

“We have to make sure the business is sustainable – we want to be here throughout this whole situation, making sure the welfare of animals is looked after.

“If we don’t make some of these tough choices now, we might not be able to do that.”

Dr Delahunty said people should continue to do their best to maintain their animals’ health and call the vet in the first instance if there are any concerns.

“Make sure your pet’s essential healthcare is up to date and please don’t hesitate to call us if you have concerns,” she said.

“We are stopping some routine work, but we are still here for sick patients.”

Horsham’s Phoenix Animal Rescue owner Carolyn Stow said in preventing the euthanasia of homeless animals her organisation would continue to rehome dogs and cats from the pound.

“We do not want to see a spike in euthanasia just because animals are stuck in the pound for their eight days,” she said.

“We have had to make significant adjustments.

“We are keeping up adoptions of dogs and cats and seeing only one person at any

Health chief in quarantine S

BY DYLAN DE JONG

taying preoccupied has proven to be a challenge for many while adapting to the ever-changing COVID-19 pandemic.

However, many have risen to the challenge, with more inventive ways of staying physically and mentally stimulated emerging as people continue in their state of solitude.

And with lockdown measures unlikely to ease for the foreseeable future, health authorities have all agreed on the increasing importance of maintaining mental and physical health while in self-isolation.

Rural Northwest Health chief executive Kevin Mills, who spent 14 days in quarantine after a family holiday, has used his time in self-isolation as an opportunity to reconnect with family life while he works from home.

Mr Mills, with wife Melissa and sons Cooper and Archer, emerged from quarantine at their home in Warracknabeal at the beginning of April after cutting their mid-March family holiday to Vietnam short.

Leaving before bans to international travel were put in place in Australia, the family could never have anticipated how quickly everything would change back home.

Mr Mills said while overseas it became clear to him Vietnam was well ahead of the curve in preventing the spread of coronavirus, with a total of 241 confirmed cases and zero recorded deaths, in a country of more than 95-million people.

He said the Vietnamese government acted swiftly to suspend flights, shut schools and quarantine new arrivals.

“Vietnam was a bit more proactive than us in Australia – their schools had all been closed since mid-January,” he said.

“Everywhere we went we had temperature checks and had to fill out forms to show authorities where we had been.

“There was already a lot of social distancing going on over there at that point.

“These checks occurred when we

Horsham Rural City Council has changed how waste transfer stations operate in the municipality during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Horsham’s Kenny Road Transfer Station and all rural facilities remain open only for essential visits from Horsham district residents and businesses.

However, the council has closed Kenny Road Tip Shop, has asked people to stay in cars where possible, to only use the service for essential waste drop-offs and to use credit or debit cards for payment.

Council infrastructure services director John Martin said in line with COVID-19 restrictions, people should only be attending transfer stations if their visit was essential.

“Local businesses who use our sites and residents without a kerbside collection service are examples of essential visits,” he said.

“Over the past week, we have noticed that the number of customers to our sites has increased.

“Where it is necessary that children attend, they must remain inside their vehicles and anyone who fails to follow physical distancing rules will be asked to leave.

“The tip shop is not essential at this time and is closed.”

“Who would have thought two months ago in Australia we would be at the point where you couldn’t congregate with more than one person or just go out shopping or go to fitness classes”

– Kevin Mills

landed at the airport, any motels we checked into and occasionally there were roadside checks doing the same thing.

“It was still a wonderful holiday and a memory we will treasure forever.

“The timing of it wasn’t great and in hindsight we might not have gone – but at the time coronavirus was only at its infancy in Australia when we left.”

Mr Mills said, as he continued to work from home, he would use his time self-isolating to connect with loved ones.

He said his family was planting vegetables, doing at-home camping trips and even having virtual birthday parties with relatives.

“We are doing activities that we ordinarily would not have time to do,” he said.

“We’re trying to replace sport and all those sorts of things with alternatives we can do at home.

“We camped in the back yard on the weekend and the kids have been busy preparing veggie patches and planting seeds and different things like that.

“It’s about finding positive things to do.

“We’ve ‘snapchatted’ birthday parties with family and friends – everyone’s been linking in over video.”

Mr Mills said he was finding these activities had kept his family happy and healthy while in social-isolation.

“The biggest component is maintaining good mental health and wellbeing,” he said.

“Being cooped up at home is tough for kids and from my point of view, while I’m working from home and able to take small breaks, I’m still making sure I slice out some time for

the family – to just have fun and keep the enjoyment going.”

Mr Mills said it was critical people continued to follow Department of Health and Human Services advice to maintain social distancing and only go out for essential needs.

“Who would have thought two months ago in Australia we would be at the point where you couldn’t congregate with more than one person or just go out shopping or go to fitness classes,” he said.

“But it’s vital, and early reports suggest these measures are having a positive impact.

Due to the ongoing situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, Yarriambiack and Hindmarsh shire councils have cancelled their April meetings.

The meetings were scheduled for April 22.

Hindmarsh Shire leaders have also advised a council meeting scheduled for June 10 has also been cancelled.

Until further notice, future Hindmarsh council meetings, which are able to proceed, including those scheduled for May 13 and June 24, will be relocated to Nhill Memorial Community Centre in Nelson Street, Nhill.

“It’s not just elderly people who are at risk, but also people who have other conditions that impact on their immune system.

“While people might be healthy, young or fit and able to get through to the other side of this – we all just need to be extra vigilant for the sake of everybody.

“Our health system and all support services around it need to be able to cope – if cases spike dramatically, that’s when we don’t cope, and we see major impact.”

Police: We are still here for you

BY ACTING SUPERINTENDENT PAUL BERTONCELLO

T

“If you see something unusual or think you have identified a breach of directions, call the Police Assistance Line on 131 444. We will investigate”

But from a fundamental policing point of view nothing has changed – the primary focus of police in the Wimmera Division remains on ensuring the safety of our communities.

We are still here. We still care. We are still taking proactive steps to prevent crime and ensure community safety. We will continue to respond whenever we are required.

But we have certainly had to adapt – and adapt quickly – on two fronts.

Firstly, we have been challenged to rapidly rethink what ‘community safety’ means in the face of the microscopic threat that is COVID-19. As a result, we have had to adapt to a new operational priority to support the directions of the Chief Health Officer.

Our units are now ensuring your safety by doing spot checks of people who are required to self-isolate; checks of businesses who are subject to mandated closure; and ensuring compliance with restrictions around social gatherings.

We have found the vast majority of the community are complying with the directions.

Unfortunately there have been a small number of occasions where we have had to enforce these measures through the issue of steep fines to people who refuse to take this threat seriously.

Secondly, we have had to review our daily practices and take steps to ensure the wellbeing and safety of our members. We have had to critically examine almost every activity we

do from working on shared computers and the issue and return of our operational equipment, to how we continue to engage with vulnerable people in our community and enforce unacceptable driver behaviour on our roads.

We have been able to do this using well-practiced leadership and crisis-management responses. We have been able to do this through engaging with and supporting our key emergency service and agency partners. We have been able to do this through the commitment and resilience of our members.

Like every other best-practice policing response, we have been able to do this because we have the co-operation and assistance of you ­ – the 60,000-plus people who live in the many communities across the Wimmera Division.

To continue supporting us, we ask that you maintain an awareness of the directions issued by the Chief Health Officer online at www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus. We also ask you to follow our local Eyewatch pages: Eyewatch – Northern Grampians Police Service Area and Eyewatch – Horsham Police Service Area.

If you see something unusual or think you have identified a breach of directions, call the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 and we will investigate.

As a community we will get through this together and your police will be there to support you throughout.

he onset of a worldwide pandemic has impacted almost every aspect of our lives and has caused a lot of concern, fear and anxiety in our communities.

Fishing comp goes virtual Organisers of an Easter fishing competition in a rural Wimmera town hosted their event online at the weekend in a series of funny back-yard fishing videos.

The annual Jeparit Fishing Competition is an important fundraiser for the Wimmera River community of less than 500 people.

Organisers were forced to cancel the Easter event due to COVID-19 restrictions.

However, the Jeparit community kept the event alive in a series of comical videos posted to Jeparit Angling Club’s Facebook page of people fishing and camping in their back yard.

Committee member Yolande Hutson said there were even prizes for best videos.

“We gave out four prizes for videos of the best coronavirus advice, largest catfish, catch and release-water safety and best funny video,” she said.

“People were getting involved and it was quite funny to sit and watch.”

Mrs Hutson said the fishing competition was one of the biggest events in the town.

She said it typically attracted more than 500 people.

“We usually get about 400 entries, and even more people who don’t register but support the event – the whole riverbank becomes a big camping ground,” she said.

“It is great for the supermarket, which is always flat out when people come for the event.

FOR A LAUGH: Jeparit’s Rick Day drops a line into a watering hole in his back yard, contributing to a series of funny videos submitted for Jeparit’s online fishing competition.

“We had a pub that had just reopened in Jeparit as well.

“They were only open for one day before the restrictions started.”

Mrs Hutson said Jeparit’s other major event for the year, the Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Rally, which was set to take place in June, had also been cancelled.

“We don’t have many events, but the two big events that bring people to our town have been cancelled,” she said.

“The Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum has been running

that event for a few years now and it brings a lot of people to the town.”

The fishing competition will be rescheduled for next year.

“We might just have little weekend fishing comps throughout the year once restrictions have lifted, we’re not going to re-do the main event,” Mrs Hutson said.

“Even though we cancelled, we kept the page active. Keep us in the back of your mind, everyone is stoked for next year.”

e have noticed an increase in the demand for wills and powers of attorney at O’Brien and Smith Lawyers.

THE LAW

This is likely due to concerns over COVID-19. It is understandable that Wimmera residents want to ensure they have the necessary documents in place should they become incapacitated by the virus.

While wills and powers of attorney are essential documents there are two other types of document which I consider to be of considerable importance in preparing for COVID-19. These are the appointment of medical-treatment decision-maker and the advanced-care directive.

with Patrick Smith, LL.B. (Hons) B. Int. St., B.Ec., GDLP

event you no longer have decision-making capacity for that medical decision.

The advanced-care directive will normally have two sections, your values directive, where you detail your preferences and values, and your instructional directive, where you detail which medical treatment you consent to and which medical treatment you refuse.

While the values directive is not legally binding, it can provide great assistance to your medical-treatment decision maker in deciding what to do when making difficult decisions. You can record what outcome following treatment would be acceptable or unacceptable, for example, loss of independence, or not being able to communicate. You can also include what is important to you in nearing death and where you would like to be cared for if you could not longer reside in your own home.

Unlike a will, powers of attorney or medical-treatment decision maker, an advanced-care directive must be witnessed by a medical practitioner rather than a lawyer.

Further, it is usually best to complete the document with the assistance of your doctor. This form can be downloaded from Health Victoria’s website at www2.health.vic.gov.au or obtained from your solicitor.

• Patrick Smith is the Principal of O’Brien and Smith Lawyers. This article is intended to be used as a guide only. It is not, and is not intended to be, advice on any specific matter. Neither Patrick nor O’Brien and Smith Lawyers accept responsibility for any acts or omissions resulting from reliance upon the content of this article. Before acting on the basis of any material in this article, we recommend you consult your lawyer.

Medical-treatment decision maker

An appointment of medical-treatment decision maker document does as the name suggests; it appoints a person to make decisions concerning your medical treatment once you no longer have decision-making capacity.

The decisions the ‘maker’ might need to control include decisions around surgical procedures and the use of life-support machines. Accordingly, this is an incredibly important role that should be given considerable thought.

You can appoint more than one person as your medical-treatment decision maker. However, unlike powers of attorney you cannot have more than one person acting at one time. The individuals need to be listed in order.

An appointment of medical-treatment decision maker document must be witnessed by an authorised witness, such as a lawyer, and another adult witness. Neither witness can be an appointed medical-treatment decision maker for you.

This document is sometimes executed without an advanced-care directive where the appointor has a high level of trust with that person. However, even in this circumstance, I recommend also completing an advanced-care directive.

Advanced-care directive

An advanced-care directive can set out your binding instructions as well as your preferences and values in relation to your medical treatment in the

STAYING HEALTHY: Wellbeing instructor Aaron Schultz, based in Queensland, is reaching out with his yoga services to his home in the Wimmera.

Rekindling connections Social-distancing rules have prompted a Wimmera yoga and mental wellbeing instructor based in Queensland to rekindle connections with Wimmera clients.

Aaron Schultz, of Horsham and Murtoa, has been operating Aaron Schultz Yoga on the Gold Coast to develop experience for an eventual return home.

But like many personalised businesses involving groups he has had to close his doors and is now presenting classes digitally.

“I’ve been teaching faceto-face but obviously that is out of the question at the moment, so I’ve expanded classes to an online format.

I’ve only just started this in the past week,” he said.

“I’ve just recently moved up to Queensland to get experience with high-quality

teachers, with an aim to increase my skills and capacity and then bring it back to the Wimmera.

“You have to continually invest in training – you can’t get to this level without putting in a lifetime of dedication.”

Mr Schultz said a homegrown understanding of the Wimmera and its people had been one of the spurs to get his business online.

“This has presented an opportunity for me to reach out to Wimmera people with a service, despite being in Queensland and despite being in isolation,” he said.

“It’s great to be able to connect with people, to be able to bring this into their lives and help them stay motivated and connected.”

Mr Schultz has considerable experience as an anx-

iety-management teacher, helping a variety of people from everyday members of the community to elite sporting professionals.

He has also written a book about his personal experiences in overcoming anxiety with an endorsement from AFL playing and coaching legend Paul Roos.

Mr Schultz specialises in the physical practices of Yin, Kundalini and Hatha yoga and stillness practices through Buddhist, Kundalini and Transcendental meditation.

He has completed more than 5000 practical teaching hours.

People can access his online services through Facebook or visit his website outbackmind.com.au for more information.

Skoda races in Hot Skoda Kodiaq RS seven-seater arrives Down Under

S

koda’s fiery Kodiaq RS sevenseat large SUV has finally arrived in Australia – priced from $65,990 plus on-road costs – after a market reclassification allowed the high-performance model to be sold Down Under.

Midway through last year, parent Volkswagen Group reclassified Australia from a ‘hot and dusty’ climate to ‘moderately hot’, which allows the Kodiaq RS and its highly tuned 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine to be sold locally.

Arriving in a single specification, the Kodiaq RS is priced $13,000 north of

the most expensive non-performance Kodiaq variant, the $52,990 140TDI Sportline.

The headline act of the Kodiaq RS is a 2.0-litre twin-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine developing 176kW of power at 4000rpm and 500Nm of torque from 1750-2500rpm, driving all four wheels via a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The bi-turbo engine is the most powerful diesel in Skoda’s line-up, a comfortable 36kW/100Nm clear of the 140TDI. Official combined-cycle fuel consumption for the hi-po oil-burner is pegged at 6.2 litres per 100km, while

emitting 163 grams of CO2 per kilometre. Sprinting from standstill to 100kmh takes 6.9 seconds, making it just 0.2 seconds off the mark of the Octavia RS245 wagon.

The only RS variant in Skoda’s SUV line-up, the hot Kodiaq is differentiated from the outside by an RS-specific front bumper, gloss-black accessories, tinted windows, bodycoloured side mouldings, red brake callipers, twin-exit chrome tailpipes, RS badging, chrome-plated bumper, 20-inch Xtreme alloy wheels and a signature Race Blue paint hue.

Inside, the high-riding RS is fitted with a 9.2-inch infotainment system

with DAB+ digital radio, the Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster with an RS-specific layout, wireless phone charging, drive mode select and a multifunction sports steering wheel with paddle shifters, red stitching and RS logo.

The Alcantara-leather seat upholstery also comes with red stitching and an RS logo, and the front and rear seats are all heated, while carbon-style trim is applied across the dashboard and doors.

Other high-grade features on board include triple-zone air-conditioning, a Canton sound system, keyless entry, automatic tailgate with gesture con-

trol, a cargo net, an umbrella stored in the door and rain-sensing windscreen wipers.

Standard safety systems extend to city autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic parking assist, LED lighting with adaptive headlights, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, side assist, multi-collision braking, traffic-jam assist, fatigue detection, a rearview camera and nine airbags.

Through the first quarter of 2020, Skoda has sold 444 examples of the Kodiaq, marking a 4.7-percent decline over the same period last year.

Limited-run edition

V

olkswagen Australia has released a special version of its Caddy small van called the Urban Edition, with local availability capped at just 70 units.

Priced from $35,540 plus onroad costs, the Urban Edition is based on the Maxi Van TSI220 and features the same 93kW/220Nm turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.

As in the Maxi Van, power is sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission while claimed fuel economy sits at 6.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle.

Targeted specifically at city-based business customers, the Urban Edition adds a 6.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AppConnect functionality, 16-inch ‘Bendigo’ alloy wheels, front foglights with cornering function and H7 headlamps with separate daytime running lights to the Maxi Van’s already standard rear barn doors.

It also has rear park distance control, forward collision with city emergency braking and driver fatigue detection.

According to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Australia director Ryan Davies, the Caddy Urban Edition has been priced as a turn-

yundai Motor Group has announced it will extend more than one-million expiring new-car warranties around the world to assist customers dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

SPECIAL VERSION: Limited-run Volkswagen Caddy Urban Edition has arrived for city-based business customers. key solution and to ‘offer businesses better value for money’.

“Times are incredibly tough for all businesses right now, but many of them can’t afford to stop,” he said.

“The Caddy Urban Edition takes some of our most popular and practical features and adds them to an already compelling package.”

Just two colours are being offered on the Urban Edition – Pure Grey and Candy White – with the driveway pricing pegged at $36,990.

2020 Volkswagen Caddy pricing, excluding on-road costs: Caddy TSI220, $31,290; Caddy TDI250, $33,540; Caddy Maxi TSI220, $30,490; Caddy Maxi

TSI220, $33,540; Caddy Urban Edtion TSI220, $35,540; Caddy Maxi TDI250, $35,740; Caddy Maxi TSI220 Crewvan, $31,990; Caddy Maxi TSI220 Crewvan, $35,040; Caddy Maxi TDI250 Crewvan, $37,240.

– Callum Hunter

The South Korean car-maker has ensured all original warranties that are due to expire between March 1 and May 30 have been extended until May 31, which will mean 1.21-million vehicles across 175 countries will be eligible.

The Hyundai CARE program will also apply to 27,000 Australian vehicles, with the company’s local arm to contact all affected customers in the coming days with further details about the program.

Hyundai has introduced its warranty program as a way to address the restriction on movement and businesses caused by the COVID-19 crisis, which in certain countries has seen customers unable to travel to their local dealership for a scheduled service.

The extended warranty period varies from country to country.

Dealerships and service outlets are still open for business in Australia, having been deemed an essential service, however other countries that are experiencing full lockdowns would not allow owners to service their vehicles.

Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive Jun Heo said the new measures were designed to ease the burden of COVID-19 for customers, while also allowing for more sensible safety measures.

Ford Australia testing face-shield prototypes

A

fter turning its design and manufacturing expertise to help combat the COVID-19 virus currently gripping the world, Ford Australia has developed the first prototypes of a face shield designed to assist frontline medical personnel.

Developed at Ford’s National Parts Distribution Centre in Broadmeadows, Victoria, the new shields are currently in the testing stage, with prototypes having already been delivered to several hospitals for user trials.

The design for the face shields was

developed in-house by Ford Australia’s design team, while working with several suppliers to source materials.

Ford says it will be able to continue working at full capacity on its regular projects while making the face shields, and still intends to meet all milestones and deadlines originally set before the pandemic took hold.

The masks are not the same as the fabric surgical masks worn tightly around the mouth and nose and secured around the ears, but are rather a splashguard-type visor consisting of a clear plastic screen, foam padding for the forehead and a strap that fits

around the head. Speaking to GoAuto last month, Ford Australia president and chief executive Kay Hart said Ford had been in discussion with the government about a range of projects the Blue Oval brand could do to support the fight against COVID-19.

“We have been in contact with the government here and we’re actively working on how we could support them in all of their efforts in potentially a range of different ways,” she said.

“We have an amazing team of engineers, designers, innovators... a great amount of ‘brainpower’ here to support the cause in Australia.

“We could have a role to play from an innovation standpoint, engineering standpoint, manufacturing, assembly, we just have a great deal of skillset here with our Australian-based team, and also access to some great knowledge from around the world.

“From our point it’s a matter of sharing that knowledge that we’ve been able to get from our colleagues in the US and the UK.” Ford Australia has also introduced a range of measures throughout the past week, including offering its ‘2nd Car’ program to frontline health workers.

The program will allow the workers

to access a Ford vehicle free of charge for a period of up to four weeks.

Ford has also revised its protocols for servicing vehicles, allowing customers to have their car picked up and dropped off by employees instead of going to and from a dealership.

Furthermore, when the car is dropped off following a service, Ford employees will also sanitise the car by disinfecting all touchpoints.

More details on the distribution and creation of the manufactured face masks are expected to come to light in about a week’s time.

Notification of Proposed nbn™ Radio Network Base Station Facility

Need a way to get out and do some exercise in these trying times?

Delivering The Weekly Advertiser door-to-door provides an opportunity to get that exercise while following isolation guidelines. It is also a chance to earn a few dollars.

We have positions available for Newspaper delivery to:

The National Broadband Network (nbn) is a high speed broadband network designed to reach 100 per cent of Australian premises and provide the communications infrastructure to help us stop falling behind in an increasingly online world. nbn is committed to delivering leading edge broadband services to all Australians by leveraging the three types of technology available – fixed line, fixed wireless and satellite, depending on location.

As part of the fixed radio (wireless) component of the Network, nbn is proposing to expand the existing radio network base stations at the following locations: • Gibson Street, Rupanyup, VIC 3388 (Lot 1 on TP654317) • Coutts Road, Minyip, VIC 3392 (Lot 2\PS813710) The works are to provide high quality wireless broadband services to customers in the surrounding localities.

The proposed works on site will involve the upgrade of existing technology upon the facility including and not limited to the replacement and installation of new antennas, radiocommunication dishes and associated ancillary equipment to enhance transmitting technology. Furthermore the works will involve the replacement and addition of equipment shelters/outdoor units adjacent to the facility. nbn regards the proposed installations as a Low Impact Facility under the Telecommunications (Low-Impact Facilities) Determination 2018. In these circumstances, it does not require planning approval from Council. This notification is undertaken in accordance with the requirements of Section 7 of the Mobile Phone Base Station Deployment Code 2018.

Further information on this specific proposal can be obtained by calling Blessing Nhliziyo on (03) 9868 6659 Written submissions can be sent to 1/417 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004 or via E: Feedback@metasite.com.au The closing date for submissions is May 4th 2020.

He died in your place and he was raised to life for you, so that you could, by faith, share in his life and live with him forever. This is the truth that the devil doesn’t want you to hear. The devil can tolerate everything except that you receive the resurrection of Jesus as a gift. And the best gift anyone could receive is the gift of new life. Easter is all about new life. That’s why Christians adopted the practice of giving Easter eggs to each other. Eggs are a sign of new life. New life is the gift offered through Jesus.

‘Christ is risen!’ “He is risen indeed!’ But we must add that by Jesus’ resurrection he has scattered and chased away the devil, he has overcome our failings and our mistrust of each other, and has forgiven us our trespasses.

Imagine seeing all your wrongdoings written up on a big board, and that you’re going to have to recompense God for each and every one of them. Then imagine having a friend who comes along and paints the board a gloss white.

This is what Jesus has done for you. He doesn’t try to memorize everything on the board before he paints over it.

He just comes along and starts painting. And when he finished it looks like a brand new board that has never been written on. This is your new life in Christ Jesus. Take it, it’s yours.

ON THE MONEY: Sentimentalist thunders home to win the Stuart McGregor Stawell Gold Cup.

Sentimentalist victory Mark Pegus-trained Sentimentalist clinched the $63,000 2020 Stuart McGregor Stawell Gold Cup as horse racing continued in relative isolation across Victoria at the weekend.

The five-year-old mare, with Linda Meech in the saddle, won the 2000-metre handicap by three and a half lengths, allowing connections to pocket $34,650 in first-place prizemoney.

Dane Smith-trained Tre Dieci, featuring Wimmera jockey Dean Yendall, was second and Terry Kelly-trained Skelm placed third ahead of Nashville Sound, fourth.

The win was the second for former jockey Pegus as a trainer.

He earlier chalked up a victory in Stawell

with Costa Maya, again with Meech on board, in a 1600-metre maiden plate.

The success came with added drama with stewards suspending Meech for 14 meetings for careless riding while on Costa Maya.

The rich nine-race meeting went ahead in Stawell under strict conditions without members, owners or the general public on site.

The McGregor cup meeting is usually a traditional and major part of a massive Easter weekend in Stawell.

A notable absentee of the long-weekend holiday, based on COVID-19 threat, was the historic Stawell Gift professional running carnival.

TOP TROTTER: Quality Sunset races to victory at Melton. Picture: STUART McCORMICK

Quality win for Ararat filly Talented trotting filly Quality Sunset made a welcome return to the winner’s circle at Melton for Ararat owner-trainer-driver Peter Fiscalini and NSW breeder Alan Burton.

The three-year-old daughter of Quality Cam CA and Troys Sunset had scored in impressive style at Ballarat first up from a spell but ‘threw in a few wronguns’ at her next two outings and

finished mid-field at Maryborough and Stawell.

Drawn the second line at Melton, Quality Sunset steadily worked up into the one-outtwo-back position with a lap to go and Fiscalini waited until the 500-metre mark before easing his charge three wide.

Still a work in progress, Quality Sunset trotted a little roughly round the final bend but after

balancing on straightening finished at a rate of knots to overhaul the leader Magestical Belle – Fred Spiteri – in the shadows of the post.

The first two crossed the line 15 metres clear of the opposition in a mile-rate of 2:00.4 for the 2240-metre journey, serving notice of even better things to come.

Netball Countdown

Minyip-Murtoa Burras

Building on strengths

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

M

inyip-Murtoa netball leaders will focus on maintaining relationships and enjoyment as they chase further Wimmera Netball Association success in 2020.

The Burras enjoyed a fairytale finish in last year’s grand final to win the club’s first-ever A Grade premiership.

Billie Bibby – who coached the team to victory from the sidelines after suffering an anterior-cruciate ligament injury in August – said although back-to-back flags ‘would be nice’, the club was focusing on fun and strengthening relationships.

“I think a lot of the success we had in netball and football last year came from the fun we had and our strong focus on relationship building, not only through netball and football, but for the club as a whole,” she said.

“Everyone came together and was really supportive. There was a great atmosphere.

“We want to continue that this year, which is why we are encouraging returning players to come back to the club for an enjoyable year, whether it’s as a player or spectator.”

The Burras have retained their entire A Grade list from last year, although Bibby said a question mark

surrounded shooter Kirby Knight.

“Kirbs is supposed to be starting a course in Melbourne but it’s up in the air with everything that’s going on,” she said.

“So, we’re not sure where she is going to be if and when the season picks up again.”

Minyip-Murtoa will welcome back young shooter Maddi Morgan, who enjoyed A Grade experience as a junior.

“Maddi had a year away studying in Geelong and it’s great to see her return,” Bibby said.

“She has come back with a lot more confidence in her netball ability and she will definitely be an asset.”

Bibby said defender Lateesha Gascoyne would also return after having a baby.

“We’re also hoping for a return of some of the Clark girls – Lisa and Angie,” she said.

“We have a big focus on getting some of the local girls back.

“We have also had a lot of new faces around the club, with people who are new to Horsham.”

Bibby said there was plenty of excitement around the club throughout pre-season, before training ceased in line with COVID-19 restrictions.

“Before all this happened we had high 20s at training,” she said.

“Everyone was keen to play and

hopefully have another successful year. Hopefully we will get to play this year. We are all very keen to get back on the court.”

Bibby said she hoped to return to the court in June or July and was willing to help out wherever she was needed.

The Burras have also picked up Tamika Mentha from last year’s grand-final opponent, Horsham.

Tamika joins her sister, Taylor, at the club. Taylor was a member of last year’s premiership team.

The girls’ mother, Scoot Mentha, has also crossed to the Burras and will coach the A Grade team alongside assistant coach, Emma Taylor.

“Tamika is a strong midcourter and is definitely a very good pick-up,” Bibby said.

“Having Scoot and Emma as coaches is huge for us. They both bring a wealth of knowledge. I’ve been coached by Scoot before and loved every minute of it.”

The Burras missed out in B Grade in 2019, with the team falling three goals short of Horsham in the grand final.

Bibby said the Burras would have plenty of depth throughout all senior teams, including the new C Reserve grade.

“There is a lot of buzz around the C Res, a lot of the girls are eager to

The club’s netballers have been participating in online workouts set by strength and conditioning coach and fellow A Grade player, Hayley Campbell.

“We are very lucky to have Hayley,” Bibby said.

“Hayley has a strong focus on making sure we stay conditioned so we are hopefully ready to go when the season starts.

“We have some great coaches in place and our aim is to build the knowledge and skills across the board, from A Grade to moddies.

“It’s all very exciting.”

“Many farmers are still carrying on with their traditional activities and are coming off a good year. If this season proves promising it will lessen the overall impact of the virus and provide invaluable help to the regional economy,” he said.

Minyip-Murtoa Burras

Footy Countdown

Getting the ‘family’ together T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he role a football-netball club plays in providing a backbone to a regional community is driving Minyip-Murtoa coach John Delahunty to look forward with optimism.

Delahunty, who will attempt to lead the Burras to back-to-back Wimmera Football League flags if and when football gets underway this season, said getting the club back together was a primary focus.

“We know how important football and netball are to small communities,” he said.

“Minyip-Murtoa has one of the biggest memberships in western Victorian footy and there’s a lot of people looking forward to everything returning to normal, including the footy. It is such a large social part of life.”

Delahunty said he, fellow coaches, the playing group and supporters were also keen to make the most of promising club circumstances.

“As a coach we just have that much potential. I’d just love to get players back on the park and roll on from how we left things last year,” he said.

History shows the Burras clinched last year’s premiership at Horsham City Oval with a 25-point win over Southern Mallee Giants. It was a double success story with the club

also winning an A Grade netball flag.

“Thinking about it post-season and what we achieved in both senior football and A Grade netball, we’ve recognised that we had been a very successful club without having that overall premiership success,” Delahunty said.

Delahunty has Tim Mackenzie and Jae McGrath as his assistants this year and Dan Smith, who oversaw the club’s footy program last year, with clipboard responsibilities from the bench.

“The break has been a challenge but I’m confident in players coming back strongly because we have so many self-motivated players in the group.

The majority of the players enjoy their fitness,” Delahunty said.

“When we first got shut down I just let the players be for a couple of weeks, let them have a mini break to catch our breath and see where COVID-19 was going. And as it all turned out, we were shut down and from that point we came up with a bit of a plan on how to tackle things.

“Like everyone we’re using social media to keep players engaged, and with personal trainer Hayley Campbell coming up with a weekly training program, it’s worked really well.

“Sometimes it is a bit of a challenge to stick at it when you’re on your own, but to have a more rigid

program in place helps understand the expectations. It’s been good.”

Delahunty said the Burras, under pre-season direction from McGrath and Mackenzie, went into the break in good shape.

“Compared with this time last year we were probably 15 percent fitter as a playing group,” he said.

“People talk about a premiership hangover but we don’t really have that – players really stepped up.

“The likes of Nick Kelson, who put in a power of work, is an example.

And we had Nick Petering and Lachie Johns who hadn’t missed a session.

“We had an internal practice match before everything was put on hold and Nick, who is really keen to play with his brother Kade, killed it.

“And Lachie, who at 21 plays with the maturity of a 31-year-old, is as tough as nails and very coachable.”

Delahunty said other recruits had included Dusty Inglis, joining his brother and club best and fairest Brad from Bordertown, and former Horsham Saints coach Luke Fisher.

“Luke has been fantastic over preseason,” he said.

“We went through boarding school together in Ballarat. Leaders can be so hard to come by and alongside players such as Luke Chamberlain we have some pretty wise heads.

“Luke Fisher is teaching at Minyip

The Burras have lost Tim McIntyre who will remain in Adelaide, Cooper Bateson has shifted to Geelong and team leader Angus Trethowan, at the club for seven years, has shifted to Boort to run a family farm.

Delahunty said Minyip-Murtoa needed to only stay fit during the break to be ready to play.

“We’ve already blown out cobwebs in skills and were getting into a competitive nature in training before going on hold. We had also tweaked the game plan and upskilled new recruits in how we did things,” he said.

“I’m positive that if we get out there everyone will be on the same page.

But the number-one focus is to get out playing and getting ‘family’ back together.”

MoystonWillaura

Pumas anxious for kick-off

BY JONATHAN BOX

A

Coaches

fter losing many players from the 2018 Mininera and District Football League season, Moyston-Willaura’s 2019 campaign was long, with the Pumas winning only one game for the year.

Although the club had success elsewhere with junior football and netball teams playing in finals, the senior football outfit could just not catch a break.

Moving into 2020, the Pumas have new coaches Terry Keilar and Jake Robinson, who were impressed with the strength of the club and the community that stuck together in a long year, and now with their help will try to turn the tables.

As it always goes, the Pumas have lost a couple of key players in Isaiah Palamo and Ben Robertson, who have returned to Ararat Eagles. But in order to fill the void and push the team in the right direction the Pumas boast recruits such as Jake Robinson, coming from Navarre, as well as Jacob Bates from the Ararat Rats, who fills an assistant-coaching role.

Other recruits include Ned Bohner and Chris Jerram as well as a massive contingent of returning footballers coming back to the club from far and wide. These include Aaron Pianta, Pat Higgins, Matt Peel and Josh Bywater, just to name a few.

Adding these players to their key core from last year including Sam Lehmann, Ethan Blake and Nick Brain, the coaches feel they have recruited good people as well as good footballers to turn around last year’s form.

Pre-season had started well for the Pumas, with good numbers on the track and a positive atmosphere.

Players had been hard at it improving fitness, skills and getting back to a style of football they wanted

Seniors: Terry Keilar and Jake Robinson Reserves: Glenn Keilar and Pat Frawley Under-16.5s: Nathan Vincent, Tyson Marr and Ethan Blake to play – the main focus built around setting a good relationship with each other and building a positive culture for the entire club and community.

With the season pending, training had ramped up and everyone was eager to put all their practice into play.

While the coaches were very happy with the progress, the delayed start has certainly stopped them in their tracks, as it has the entire sporting community.

There was considerable disappointment the boys could not get out and play, however, they understood why the steps had been put in place Keilar said he did worry about the impact on people not being able to have weekly interaction with friends and community that a sporting club and competition can bring.

“Exercise has a hugely positively impact on mental wellbeing and I do worry that not being able to have that outlet can impact on individuals,” he said.

“With all this in mind the first hope is everyone can get to enjoy some level of sport and involvement at the club.

“Sporting clubs are so important to communities and I feel after this is over, they will be a great way for people to be able to feel normality in our lives again.”

Success on the field and court for the Pumas would cap that off.

SMW Rovers

MDFL MDNA

Young to lead the Bulldogs A

BY JONATHAN BOX

fter three years under the guidance of Louis Franc and Kane Tolliday, Mininera and District Football League outfit SMW Rovers has had a change at the helm.

Kal Young has taken on the role of senior coach for 2020.

Young joins the club with considerable experience, having coached teams in Central Highlands and Ballarat leagues in the past.

After finishing fairly low on the ladder in 2019, SMW Rovers were left disappointed at where they were sitting and keen to improve.

While retaining many of their players including Dan Curran, Ian Worsfold and Darcy Osborne, as well as much depth from their premiership reserves team, the Bulldogs have also had a couple of big losses.

These included Jarryd Underwood, who finished fifth in the league goal-kicking tally, Andrew Toan, who was third in the league best and fairest, and Brent Bulger, who is returning to Ararat Eagles after one year.

To try to steer the team into a better direction, the club has recruited a few players out of the Ballarat area, including Jesse Nicholls from Ballarat Swans, Jesse Sardo from Central Highlands, the Fogas brothers, Ben and Leon, also from Central Highlands, as well as past best-and-fairest winner John Forbes, who is returning from Lake Wendouree.

Pre-season preparations were going along nicely for the Bulldogs with new and existing players getting along well.

There was a lot of focus on fitness and getting

Coaches Seniors: Kal Young Reserves: Brad Scott and Andy Jose back to basic football and circumstances were looking positive for the club. Numbers were picking up due to other commitments such as cricket, travel and work slowing down just as news came that the season would have a delayed start.

The Bulldogs, like all clubs, are fully aware it will be hard to come back from the break if the opportunity eventuates at all.

Club leaders said players were keeping active and in touch with each other during the delay, continuing their pre-season individually and communicating to spur each other on as a unit.

There is an obvious desire within the club to return to the track and to have the chance to play football.

Experiencing what we have in the past few months has shown a lot of us the true meaning of local football clubs and their value as a community hub.

Clubs are so much bigger than simply the players on the field and are our local hotel, our local play group, a place where we can talk and have a drink and discuss work and life.

There is definitely a hope that the season gets started, but even more of a hope that we are able to get back to our community gatherings.

Darcy Osborne, pictured in action last year, will run out with the Bulldogs again this year when and if the season goes ahead.

Footy a part of life

BY DEAN LAWSON

I

n naming a list of the region’s top-20 sport stars last week we only scratched the surface in unearthing our wonderful sporting talent and achievements.

We are the first to admit there is really no right or wrong list, depending on context and how subjective the whole concept is in the first place.

There is one certainty, however, and that is our involvement in and influence on Australian rules football.

In seeing our list last week, many would have been dumbfounded or noted our number-one nomination with curiosity.

Sitting at the top of the tree is Thomas Wentworth Wills, who lived from 1835 to 1880.

Apart from being regarded as one of Australia’s first cricketers of note, Wills is also credited with the invention of the uniquely Australian version of football.

That concept, detailed in a letter by Wills and published in Melbourne publication Bell’s Life in Victoria and Sporting Chronicle on July 10, 1885, was to ultimately prove a catalyst for 145 years of great individual sporting endeavours and achievements.

The letter, called ‘Winter Practice’ is a call for cricketers to stay fit during winter and included ‘why can they not, I say, form a football club and

Jake Lloyd

form a committee of three or more to draw up code of laws?’

Our top-20 list, while missing great swathes of footballers who have gone on to star at elite VFL-AFL level, still features dual Brownlow medallist Adam Goodes of Horsham, Tim Watson, Dimboola, and Alastair Clarkson from Kaniva, who remains the only Wimmera person to have coached AFL premiership teams.

But what about the rest of them, we can almost hear Wimmera footy fans scream?

Such is our region’s ingrained pas-

sion for this game, there are simply too many and the names keeping rolling in and extending the list.

Such has been the influence of one Thomas Wills, who most likely adapted the Aboriginal game of marngrook from his childhood experiences and perhaps seasoned it with Rugby School and Gaelic football elements to establish the game we have today.

Who was Thomas Wills? He grew up at Lexington near Moyston where he spent much of his childhood with Djab wurrung Aboriginal children and learning their culture, traditions, lan-

guages and pastimes before travelling to England for schooling and establishing his sporting reputation.

He was also the initial coach of the Australian Aboriginal cricket team that toured England.

History documenting Wills’ colourful life provides insight into a fascinating, enigmatic and polarising personality.

he Weekly Advertiser’s probe into finding the top-20 all-time sport stars of the region reminded us of the depth that sport has played in our everyday lives.

Readers have been quick to forward a variety of not only names, but also a vast array of sports involved.

Apart from obvious achievements in Australian football, Wimmera sportsmen and sportswomen have excelled in many disciplines.

Basketball is among these sports with players cutting their teeth in domestic competitions before venturing onto national and international stages.

Australia’s national and women’s national basketball leagues and American college basketball have become familiar haunts for elite Wimmera players with Mitch Creek of Horsham, who features in the top-20 list, even playing in America’s National Basketball Association.

Here are some other Wimmera basketballers that readers put forward for consideration – Chloe Bibby, Warracknabeal; Melissa McClure, Horsham; Aaron Bruce, Horsham; Shaun Bruce, Horsham; Shane McDonald, Horsham.

But what about other sports and potential best-of categories?

Leaders look ahead W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera football leaders will use the next two to three weeks to explore how a modified 2020 season might look if government authorities continue to delay an easing of social-distancing restrictions.

Regional football and netball competitions are tentatively scheduled to start on June 6.

But a four-month extension to State of Emergency conditions has competition insiders considering options.

AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon said Wimmera and Horsham District competition leaders were still working towards a June 6 start, but any decision would be based on government direction.

“We’re going to need a reassessment within a fortnight to next three weeks and to look at a plan. What that plan looks like we’re not too sure at the moment,” he said.

“There is plenty to consider and one of the hardest things is to decide how much time the men and women, boys and girls need to come back and prepare before playing.

“We’ve had conversations with both the leagues around what a competition might look like if we get it up and going.

“What we know is that there is a genuine enthusiasm to get out and play.”

Mr Muldoon said there needed to be in-depth conversations about what would qualify as a legitimate season.

“That probably includes everyone in a league playing each other at least once before finals to have some authenticity about it,” he said.

“That’s probably the minimum if we are going to award a premiership.

“Can we go with a six-week season or even less? These are things we need to consider.

“We will also need to have conversations with cricket and tennis and if we want to push into October or November would they be willing to be flexible.

“The AFL has started conversations with Cricket Victoria and that will filter down into associations.”

Football decisions will also likely provide guidance or direction for netball competitions.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Mr Muldoon said there was such a strong desire across the region for competitions to get underway that in a last-resort scenario if a season fixture was impossible, clubs might be able to organise challenge matches.

“We have to be careful to avoid getting too far ahead of ourselves because the information could get murky, but we might be able to set up something that involves Wimmera and Horsham District clubs based on regional hubs,” he said.

“The simple fact is that people want to play.

“If we do get to that point and we can’t have an authentic season we will have a very heavy focus on juniors.

“Who knows? Out of something so dramatic the situation might provide

us with a glimpse into the future, an opportunity to consider what the future of football might look like.

“The leagues and clubs have been fantastic. They all know the situation and there is a genuine enthusiasm to get things going again when they get approval.

“I know footy is a combative sport, but if anything this has brought all clubs and leagues closer together.

“When we get through to the other side it will change the way we think about footy.”
