Campaign push W

immera-Mallee tourism and development leaders have urged ‘makers and creators’ across the region to join Victoria’s Click for Vic campaign to connect their products to people across the state.

They have also encouraged people to make the most of the campaign’s online services to support ‘local’ businesses during COVID-19 restrictions.

Grampians Tourism’s Marc Sleeman and Wimmera Development Association leader Chris Sounness both spoke about the campaign’s potential to help creative small businesses that usually relied heavily on face-to-face sales navigate their way through tough circumstances.

Mr Sleeman said Click for Vic was the first tactical campaign that Visit Victoria had thrown its weight behind since the start of the pandemic.

“It’s pretty significant. It represents a great op-

portunity for local producers and creators – not just in food and produce, but also in art, craft homewares and so on – it’s for anyone across the region and its free,” he said.

The campaign, launched by the State Government, involves a new website, www.visitvictoria. com/clickforvic, which directs shoppers to various market pages.

Wimmera presence

A Victorian Country Market section features fresh produce and artisan products and is the area the Wimmera leaders are keen for businesses to use.

The section is divided into regions and the Grampians and Wimmera site so far features 12 businesses.

“It’s great to see the State Government providing this sort of support for businesses that have

traditionally been based on foot traffic,” Mr Sounness said.

“We encourage as many of our innovative producers as possible to get on board.”

Premier Daniel Andrews said in releasing details of the campaign that during the pandemic Victorians had to find new ways to innovate and adapt.

“By clicking for Vic we can support these local businesses – all from the comfort of our own lounge rooms. Buying local is always the best policy, but it’s particularly important right now,” he said.

“By backing our local producers, we’re also backing the jobs and communities they support.”

Details about joining the online marketplace are available on website www.visitvictoria.com/ clickforvic.

Horsham Votes October 2020

Council elections confirmed to go ahead with postal votes and new candidate training Council elections are held every four years, and despite the global pandemic, our democratic elections will proceed in October, with minimal changes.

Here’s how things will roll-out: For candidates For those wishing to stand as candidates for election, the process most likely started months ago. The first major milestone to becoming a candidate however, is the new mandatory training.

The training is designed to help candidates understand the role and responsibilities of being a Councillor. The training is being run

by Local Government Victoria (LGV).

The training should take about an hour to complete, and is delivered online. To access the training registration page, visit the HRCC web page and follow the links

to the Local Government Victoria website.

After this, the next key milestone is candidate nominations, which open on 17 September and close at 12 midday on 22 September.

Once nominated, those standing can announce their candidacy.

The next major milestone is the election, with postal votes being HRCC’s method for conducting the vote. The postal votes will be mailed out between 6 and 8 October.

Across the state, the official election day is 24 October.

After the votes are counted, the seven successful candidates will be announced.

The four-year journey of these new Councillors will begin with a Statutory meeting on Thursday 12 November to elect the new Mayor, which will be followed

HELP FOR THOSE FEELING ALONE Physical distancing and the restrictions bought about to help stop the spread of Coronavirus has left many feeling disconnected – from friends, colleagues, family and society.

However, help is now easy to access through the Victorian Government’s Community Activation and Social Isolation initiative.

“The tree planting program is conducted between June and September as this is the optimal time for planting to give the trees the best chance of survival,” Cr Radford said.

As part of this initiative, the Australian Red Cross is now contactable through the DHHS Coronavirus hotline, allowing all Victorians access to support during this challenging time.

“The trees are selected to suit our local climate.

Some are chosen specifically for planting under power lines so they do not cause maintenance issues when they are fully grown.”

To reach an Australian Red Cross volunteer through the hotline, dial 1800 675 398 and press 3. The volunteer will discuss what support is required and can listen to any worries or concerns the individual may have.

Cr Radford said Horsham residents were welcome to request a street tree for their urban nature strip.

This season more than 40 trees have been planted following requests from residents.

Uniting Wimmera, with contributions from Horsham Rural City Council’s Relief Committee is also providing support by acting as a Community Connector.

Residents can request a new nature strip tree, or to replace an existing tree, lodge an online request through council’s website or call 5382 9777.

The Community Connector phone line can be reached through the coronavirus hotline, or directly on 1800 195 114.

Border relief, but challenges persist

BY DYLAN DE JONG

W

immera health-service leaders were breathing easier late yesterday after South Australian Premier Steven Marshall confirmed a relaxation of cross-border travel regulations with Victoria.

South Australian nurses and support staff unable to enter Victoria can now resume duties at West Wimmera Health Service and Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital.

Both services were working to backfill staff after border closures on Friday last week cut off clinical, agedcare and other support workers from Victoria.

South Australian authorities will reinstate a 40-kilometre buffer zone from midnight Friday morning, allowing students to cross the border to go to school and primary producers to work on their cross-border properties.

Previous restrictions meant essential workers would have been the only Victorians who could enter the state.

The only exceptions were for students in years 11 and 12 and farmers with properties on both sides of the border.

Health-service leaders welcomed the changes but said challenges would continue for vulnerable people around the buffer zone.

Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital chief executive Andrew Saunders said the back-pedal to restrictions came as a major relief for his organisation.

“It’s been so hard on our staff. To reverse the ban on travel across Victorian border towns makes sense – common sense has prevailed,” he said.

“Our staff will be thrilled that they can come back. They couldn’t work this week and we were still paying them as though they were and supporting them.”

Mr Saunders said under previous restrictions key clinical staff, who were living in South Australia, were refused entry into Victoria.

“These staff had applied for a travel permit in the essential-worker category and were advised to email SA Health to seek exemption. But they were refused,” he said.

He said the rural hospital had been desperately seeking to fill positions.

“It’s hard to replace between 16 and 20 shifts per fortnight – we don’t carry a lot of excess casual staff or part-time permanent staff because we’re a small rural health service,” he said.

“The latest changes mean our staff will be able to return to normal work.

They will still need to abide to rules, but this means we will have a full cohort of staff again.”

From Friday, measures will mean residents permitted to cross the border must not travel further than 40

kilometres either side of the border.

Mr Saunders said he remained concerned regulations would continue to cause complications for vulnerable people needing to access specialist appointments further afield.

“The biggest challenges will still be for people to get to a specialist from further than the 40km zone into Adelaide,” he said.

“Hopefully with the relaxing of the measures, authorities will look at how people can still get access to their specialist appointments.”

Step in right direction

West Wimmera Health Service chief executive Ritchie Dodds commended community leaders and residents who appealed for the South Australian government to reconsider border measures.

“This is certainly a step in the right direction and a testament to all the

Celebrating a ‘generous community figure’ Horsham residents want to name a nature reserve near the Wimmera River after a ‘charitable and generous’ community figure.

Graham and Julet Schultz, who live on Mardon Drive, have requested a reserve near their house honour the late Jack Schier as ‘Jack Schier Reserve’.

Horsham Rural City Council considered the request at its latest meeting and will seek community feedback before making a decision.

Mrs Schultz said Jack Schier had a deep concern for the health and wellbeing of Horsham spanning more than 40 years.

Mr Schier and his wife Ethel bought land at Haven in 1974. In response to a lack of facilities for their adopted son Stephen, who was living with a disability, Mr Schier donated 16 hectares to develop Karkana Day Centre.

He continued to have a strong interest in the development of the facility for many years until he died in 2014.

The centre supported people living with a disability with employment until 2019, before owners Uniting Wimmera transitioned to a new model of care.

Mr Schier was also involved in Pleasant Creek Training Centre, Stawell Special Development School and donated money to Sunnyside Lutheran Rest Home in Horsham.

He was also a major contributor to a public appeal to build Matron Arthur House Nursing Home, which opened at Wimmera Base Hospital in 1987.

SUPPORT: From left, Inez Spriggs, Ian Ballinger, Julet Schultz, Greg Schultz and Graham Schultz are seeking support to name an area in Mardon Drive after community figure Jack Schier.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Mrs Schultz said Mr Schier’s name would be fitting for the reserve.

“Jack Schier lived three doors from us here on Mardon street. We thought it would be nice if we could name that area in memory of him because he’s done so much for the community,” she said.

“He gave money to so many places before he died, and nobody recognised his contribution much.”

Mrs Schultz said it was important to name locations and honour the memory of people who had contributed to their community.

“We must remember the kindness of these people who gave back. Maybe their contributions were small, but they were important to Horsham,” she said.

Mrs and Mr Schultz have several pages of signatures from residents supporting the naming proposal.

“Everybody in the court and everyone up along this area are supporting this, saying they would like Jack to have recognition,” Mrs Schultz said.

“People just need to realise this is a lovely spot along here – if you take a walk along the river it is a very picturesque place.

“We’ve got to take care of Horsham’s beauty. We would like to celebrate some time the naming of it, but while this COVID-19 virus is about we can’t celebrate.”

The council is yet to determine the boundaries of the reserve that runs alongside Burnt Creek next to Mardon Drive.

Community consultation will comply with ‘Naming Rules for Places in Victoria – Statutory requirements for roads, features and localities 2016’.

Cr Josh Koenig supported the naming proposal at the council’s Monday meeting.

“In my professional life I came across Jack and his son Stephen and I think it’s a great story,” he said.

“Jack and his wife Ethel did a lot of fantastic things for the Horsham community and wider in the disability services field in particular.

“I would be interested to see the community comment for this proposal.”

The council will also seek to gain consent from Jack Schier’s family.

people who were lobbying for this,” he said.

“It’s symbolic in a sense that it shows South Australian health authorities will listen to reason.”

The change will mean six of his South Australian staff members, who worked at Kaniva Hospital and Nursing Home, will now be able to gain access to their Victorian workplace.

“We had two nurses, a diabetes educator, a community-care support worker, an aged-care worker and a general services worker in cleaning and catering who couldn’t come across,” Mr Dodds said.

“If it’s back to how it was previously, we’re hoping those staff members who haven’t been able to come across to us will be able to do so now.

“But in terms of needing to travel further afield for medical specialists, that’s a whole different matter.”

Tests declining Wimmera Health Care Group officials have stressed people with even the mildest of flu-like symptoms must continue to get tested for COVID-19.

The health group emphasised the need despite its Horsham Covid Assessment Clinic in Read Street reverting from drive-through back to walk-in services.

Group communications manager Peter Miller said people could continue to access services without booking between 10am and noon and 1.30pm and 4.30pm every day.

He said the change back to a walk-in system from Thursday last week was the result of the number of people requesting tests steadily declining.

“This in no way suggests people who have cold-like symptoms should disregard testing services. In fact, WHCG wants people showing any symptoms to keep coming in,” he said.

Mr Miller said the drive-through clinic had tested 1901 people after opening in mid-July.

“There were 27 tests at the drivethrough clinic on Thursday and 12 at the walk-in clinic on Friday. We then had 18 on Saturday, 10 on Sunday and 22 on Monday,” he said.

“In the first few days of the drivethrough opening the clinic was testing in the 200s and 100s. The numbers have been steadily backing off.

“But, the message remains the same.

If you have a test, stay home and isolate while awaiting results.”

• Latest COVID-19 figures released

by DHHS show Horsham has 2 active cases, Ararat 1, and West Wimmera, Northern Grampians, Buloke, Hindmarsh and Yarriambiack no cases.

Troy honoured for saving a life T

roy Oakley of Nurrabiel, south-west of Horsham, is among recipients of Australian Bravery Awards.

Governor-General David Hurley announced Mr Oakley as one of 15 people from across the nation to receive a Bravery Medal.

He also announced one recipient of a Star of Courage and one Bar to the Bravery Medal, six commendations for Brave Conduct and three Group Bravery Citations involving eight individuals.

Mr Oakley’s recognition comes after rescuing a woman from a burning vehicle at Nurrabiel on February 8, 2018.

Mr Oakley was driving about 1.40pm when he came across a vehicle that had rolled onto its roof.

He noticed the sole occupant of the car, an elderly woman, was trapped but could not open the car doors, which had been damaged in the crash.

The front of the vehicle caught fire and flames spread to surrounding grass where Mr Oakley was standing.

He managed to break a passenger-side window, leant into the burning vehicle and pulled the woman free and moved her across the road to a safe distance.

RECOGNITION: Troy Oakley, pictured with his daughter Malia, 1, and son Caleb, 3, has received a Bravery Medal for rescuing a woman from a burning vehicle in 2018.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

As he was calling emergency number 000, flames engulfed the car.

Mr Oakley remained with the woman and kept her comfortable until emergency services arrived.

“It was pretty heart racing for a little

while. But I managed to get her out,” Mr Oakley said, reflecting on the incident.

“She ended up with a broken neck and a deep gash on her head and was airlifted from the scene.

“It was lucky there were no other injuries from trying to get her out of the car and getting her resting in the ute while waiting for an ambulance.

“I was by myself for the first five or so minutes after I got her out of the

‘Click and collect’ Hindmarsh Shire Libraries will offer a ‘click and collect’ service from Monday after leaders sought advice from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Hindmarsh Shire Libraries co-ordinator Whitney Kingston said new and existing members would be able to access the contactless service at Jeparit, Dimboola, Nhill and Rainbow.

She said members with internet access could log into the library page, via the council’s website, and place holds on anything within the Hindmarsh Shire Libraries collection.

Community members can make selections through an online form or library staff can select books on their behalf, based on reading interests.

Members without internet access can call the council on 5391 4444 to access the service.

Mrs Kingston said the click and collect service would follow strict COVID-19 safety protocols.

Staff members will call residents to secure a time slot to pick up items from their appropriate library. Pick up times are from 2pm to 4pm at Jeparit on Mondays, Dimboola on Tuesdays, Nhill on Thursdays and Rainbow on Fridays.

car and then others came to assist.”

Mr Oakley said the woman had been grateful for his efforts.

“She called in on me once she got out of hospital and got back home and gave me a bit of hug, thank-you and everything, so that was pretty nice,” he said.

He also said his reaction was spontaneous.

“You don’t really think about it. I guess you just try at the time and it went my way. The timing was just right to save her,” he said.

“It feels pretty good to be recognised I guess. But I wouldn’t have done anything different.

“You try to keep calm, which is pretty hard, and think how you can help someone.”

Governor-General Hurley said the deeds of award recipients were selfless and inspirational.

“The people receiving awards didn’t wake up in the morning and decide that they would be brave – each was faced with an unexpected situation and made a conscious choice, in the moment, to turn towards the danger and help others,” he said.

An independent Australian Bravery Decorations Council makes award recommendations to the Governor-General.

Collection to share

A BIT OF EVERYTHING: Jo Ussing is inviting Nhill district residents to borrow books at an unofficial library at Westprint Outback Maps and Books.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Nhill businesswoman Jo Ussing has been providing an unofficial library for booklovers unable to access their usual service during the latest stage-three lockdown.

Mrs Ussing is offering a collection of books for borrowing at her shop, Westprint Outback Maps and Books in Park Street.

“It’s a collection of all sorts of books, including novels, non-fiction and children’s books,” she said.

“There’s a bit of everything and we change it up every couple of weeks.”

Mrs Ussing started offering the collection because patrons were unable to access books through Hindmarsh Shire Libraries during lockdown.

She said she wanted to cater for patrons who wanted more than electronic resources.

“We’ve got plenty of books and it’s something to cheer us up at the moment,” she said.

“People are using it and I’m surprised, every so often I have a look and there’s a whole lot of different books that weren’t here to begin with.”

Hindmarsh Shire Libraries will start offering a ‘click and collect’ service on Monday after leaders sought clarification from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Hindmarsh mayor Rob Gersch said he was excited to offer the service to all new and existing library members.

Mrs Ussing said she would keep her library running for the time being.

“Mostly these are the books people have given to us and we pass them on to the book fair,” she said.

“While that’s closed we will just keep them here.”

Paramedics: Listen to your body Grampians paramedics and first responders are urging the region’s residents to know the symptoms of serious illness and when to call for help.

Ambulance Victoria Grampians regional director Stuart Reid said with many people at home due to government-imposed stage-three restrictions, now was an opportune time to ‘brush up on the basics when it comes to your health’.

“While a lot of attention is on stopping the spread of COVID-19 and rightly so, we don’t want people to ignore the warning signs of other medical conditions such as stroke and heart attack,” he said.

“If you are feeling chest pain, breathing difficulty, dizziness, anxiety – don’t delay calling triple zero. Time is of the essence and the earlier we can get to the patient, the better their chance of recovery.”

Mr Reid said paramedics were taking extra precautions to keep patients and themselves safe, including wearing per-

sonal protective equipment to every case.

“Delivering care while protecting patients and paramedics from COVID-19 means we are paying scrupulous attention to infection control,” he said.

“I know the return to tougher restrictions has caused some anxiety, but we are well prepared to serve the community through this pandemic.”

Mr Reid said people who called triple zero, 000, might also be asked a few extra questions if they were suffering flu or COVID-like symptoms.

“By asking these questions, our experienced paramedics and registered nurses will be able to determine the right care for you, whether that’s an emergency ambulance, non-emergency transport, referral to a doctor or pharmacist, or if you’re okay to care for yourself at home,” he said.

“Our message is simple – listen to your body and remind your friends and family too, that we are here to help you.”

Work on the next stage of a Dimboola Community and Civic Precinct will continue with landscaping of a former car park area and refurbishment of a new library and customer service centre.

Construction of the centre is complete, opening the project for a second development stage.

Landscaping of the former car park will form a Dimboola Visitor Node of the Wimmera River Discovery Trail. It will include establishing lawn open-space areas, construction of pathways, planting of trees, shrubs, plants and grass, installation of seating and picnic tables and the construction of new public amenities.

The site will also include interpretive signs acknowledging Dimboola’s significant indigenous history and culture and environmental and historical assets and events.

Hindmarsh Shire mayor Rob Gersch said council officers were assessing tenders for the landscaping works.

“I expect the successful contractor will be appointed in late August with works to start as soon as possible after that,” he said.

“The landscaping that will be carried out in the former car park area will provide a very userfriendly and welcoming space between Lloyd Street and the creek and river environs at the rear of the new library.

“Now the construction of the new library and new public amenities is essentially completed, the landscaping work can effectively be carried out on a greenfield site.”

Cr Gersch said the landscaped garden and lawn areas would fit ‘perfectly’ with a rear library verandah and deck.

“It will become a very versatile asset that will be able to be used for library and community events such as Australia Day,” he said.

The federal and state governments, with support from Hindmarsh council, are funding the Wimmera River Discovery Trail, designed to open cycling and walking adventure opportunities along the Wimmera River between Dimboola and Jeparit.

“The Dimboola Community and Civic Precinct project and new library, the Wimmera River Discovery Trail – Dimboola Visitor Node, and the refurbishment of the original library are all very exciting for Dimboola,” Cr Gersch said.

More than imaginary partitions

C

ommunity anxiety either side of the Victorian-South Australian border has reminded us of an awkward hangover from the colonial part of our history.

That imaginary dividing state line that starts up in Queensland, pushes south to create a border with New South Wales and continues from the Murray River to the coast must have, at some stage, made sense.

Whether is still does remains open to debate.

Authorities of yesteryear had to draw the line somewhere and the 141st meridian east of Greenwich has, apart from an historical challenge based on surveying errors, been the measure since 1836.

On the ground, the state divide for many travellers has traditionally been more of a curiosity than anything else.

A look to the horizon in all directions during a stop at border towns suggests there is little difference, in much of the landscape at least, between the west Wimmera and Tatiara or Naracoorte regions. It appears the same country.

People either side of the line, a long way from decision-makers in capital cities, also seem to have similar sensibilities and primary-industry interests.

Navigating a way through differing state regulations for work and play is nothing new to this pocket of Australia, but dealing with the crippling and uncertainty of rigorous COVID-19 re-

The difficulties and anxiety we’ve seen on borders is a clear message to anyone who takes state power that they must govern for a whole state – they must consider anyone living in the far reaches as important as anyone else.

It is also a reminder of how diverse and productive a working relationship

needs to be between state and federal governments under our federated system.

We need only consider our colonial history to get further understanding of this issue.

Questions about adequate representation for border communities and potential inter-state differences have long generated debate.

As far back as the 1860s, a group called the West Victorian Separation League sent a petition of 1500 signatures to Queen Victoria, calling for the establishment of the colony of ‘Princeland’.

This colony would have been as big as Tasmania and included most of the Wimmera, Mallee, Western Dis-

Art is... a world of inspirational pictures Wimmera photographers are being recognised for their artistic flare as part of an inaugural art competition that showcases regional talent.

Art is… festival invited residents to submit their best photography into an online art gallery as part of a Wimmera-first ‘Art-is-bald Prize’ competition.

Judges chose winners for single and group portrait categories, while the public voted on people’s choice award winners.

Horsham resident and travel enthusiast Suzanne Puls’ photo titled ‘Taken in New Guinea’ won two awards – first in the single portrait category and first in the people’s choice award.

Another of Ms Puls’ photos, ‘Taken in India’, won third place in the single portrait category.

In-the-moment inspiration struck Ms Puls during a trip to Papua New Guinea three years ago when she saw a young boy with a piece of straw in his mouth as a prime photo opportunity.

Ms Puls said she waited for the right moment to capture the personality of the young boy who was posed with a ‘greeting smile’.

“The kids over there were amazing and loved having their photo taken,” she said.

“This particular kid put the straw in his mouth and I managed to get the shot in that moment.

“The people were so friendly – it’s certainly a developing country in many aspects, but the people are very content even while they don’t have a lot.”

Ms Puls has been snapping the important moments of her life for more than 35 years.

She said her love for travelling to different continents went hand-inhand with her passion for photography.

“I’ve travelled the world quite a bit and I just take photos of my surroundings and in the moment – I don’t set the photos,” she said.

“It’s just an easy art form for me.”

Single portrait second place winner and St Brigid’s College student Colby McDonald, 16, only picked up a camera for the first time a year-anda-half ago.

Her award-winning photo was taken at a beach while on holiday with her family, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

ing in the water while the tide was coming in.

“We were just watching the sunset and I looked over and saw a perfect silhouette of my sister against the sunset and thought that was a perfect shot,” Colby said.

“I definitely didn’t think I was going to win anything, so it came as a surprise when I got second place.”

Colby’s passion for capturing images started when she took up photography as an elective subject at school.

She said she saw the art form as an opportunity to learn a valuable and marketable skill that would serve her later in life.

“I never really thought I could be any good at photography,” she said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Attitude astounding SIR, – Regarding the Horsham Riverfront Activation Project. This project and the attitude of the Horsham Rural City Council amazes me, as well as many others within our community.

The HRCC wants to undertake a multi-million-dollar project that will do nothing towards the economic sustainability and viability of all types of businesses within our region.

For example: considering the fact that most industries are converting to computerisation and robotic operations; what will be the jobs and types of employment in our region in about 20 years’ time?

The HRCC’s attitude towards this whole concept exemplifies the views of personnel who have always worked for a wage or salary and would have never ran a self-owned business.

We currently have two serious problems throughout Australia, Victoria, and in particular our local region – the COVID-19 virus, and equally concerning, the economic situation that might be worse than the last Global Financial Crisis and possibly as bad as the Great Depression.

The least the HRCC should undertake is to defer any decision about ‘riverfront project,’ to be discussed at a time after all of the consequences of the COVID-19 have been thoroughly examined and then work out the best way forward.

I believe that if HRCC continues on with the current mindset with this riverfront project in the current COVID climate, it displays a high element of egoism, and at the same time, much immaturity.

inspired me and gave me good feedback.”

Colby said she planned to continue pursuing her love of photography.

“I never really thought of it as a career option – it’s something I really enjoy and definitely something I would use as a back-up plan,” she said.

Prize winners in the group portrait category included first place Peter Grenfell for his photo ‘Rob and the Dog’, second place Trish Hateley for ‘Ken and Amy’ and third place Millie Jacobs for ‘Hotdog’.

Photographer Ben Cronk was second place in the people’s choice award for his piece ‘All Dressed Up’.

While today we would consider this unrealistic folly, some of the motivations and fears that drove the concept, appear to still ring true.

And the idea is something we still explore to some extent. A relatively modern representation of a large section of the subject area, from a development and industry perspective, is often called the Greater Green Triangle Region.

What’s it all mean? If we live in Victoria, we’re Victorians. If we live in South Australia, we’re South Australians. Most importantly, if we live in Australia, we’re Australians. Appropriate representation is critical for all.

Penny to fight for services

G

WMWater officer Penny Flynn has promised to help ‘rebuild’ community services and support if she wins a seat on Horsham Rural City Council later this year.

Miss Flynn, 39, who has spent

most of her life in Horsham, said in confirming her nomination for local government elections, that she supported council retention of community services.

She said she decided to nominate after a council decision to ‘sell off’ council-run home-care services.

“There is no excuse for councils to cut services or sell off what looks after your parents, grandparents and members of the community – we need these services now more than ever,” she said.

“The current council obviously can’t be trusted to look after the services our community relies on and that is far from ideal.

“Last month was home care.

Who knows which services will next be on the chopping block?

“The council must tend to its constituents and put the community first.

“Community needs to see the council step up to support services rather than trying to sell them off.”

Miss Flynn, who has tertiary qualifications in leadership, governance and business governance, has worked at GWMWater for 16 years, where she has been senior corporate resources officer and legal administrator.

She has also been involved in community groups, is a past president of Rotary Club of Horsham

“I won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. I understand that before we even start, but I am confident there is a voter group that I will appeal to” East and last year won a nomination to take part in a Victorian Trades Hall Council Candidates School for people keen to play a role on council, community, private or public sector boards.

Miss Flynn said she wanted to see the Horsham district community recover from COVID-19 ‘with fairness and equity for all’.

“I’m running for council because I believe the people of my community deserve effective local services,” she said.

“We have seen this council outsource Home and Community Care. People of Horsham don’t want that.

“I heard from one person that their mother was widowed and lived alone and none of her children lived close by.

“The service provided by the council was her only support and contact within the community.”

Miss Flynn said she also believed community expectations differed from generation to generation and that was always something local government needed to consider.

“I grew up in an era when we didn’t have a heated swimming pool or a fantastic performing arts centre,” she said.

“We have them now because

someone had a vision. So, what are we looking at now for the next generation?

“Coming out of COVID-19 will represent a big opportunity for us as a community, municipality and region how we advocate for things. Let’s use outcomes to our advantage.”

Miss Flynn said she had put her

hand up for the council to follow through with her principles.

“You forfeit your right to complain unless you’re prepared to be part of the process,” she said.

Pandemic alters Legacy appeal Ararat Legacy has cancelled its face-to-face Badge Week activities, which raise money to help care for war widows and veterans’ families across the region.

Organisation leaders made the decision due to state and national government restrictions and the safety and health of volunteers and beneficiaries being of paramount importance.

Ararat Legacy, encompassing Stawell, Beaufort, Avoca, Willaura and Ararat districts, had pencilled in its annual face-to-face badge-selling activities from Sunday to September 5.

But along with 44 other clubs across Australia and one in London, it is working to navigate a different Legacy Week to years past.

Circumstances have meant that although the organisation’s work has never been more vital – providing support and services for some of the most vulnerable in the community – it has had to make the difficult decision.

President Garry Hutton said it was disappointing the club had cancelled its face-to-face badge selling because it was the group’s major annual fundraiser.

“These funds are our mainstay to supporting dependents in our care,” he said.

“A good example has been our recent $200 Winter Subsidy to all our widows living independently, which was so extremely well received.

“We hope the community will not forget us and consider perhaps making a donation via one of our legatees, sending a little something in the mail, by visiting www.legacy.com.au or sparing a few coins for our Legacy ‘donation’ tins at supportive businesses across the region.”

Mr Hutton said badges and merchandising were available via website www.legacyshop.com.au.

Ararat Legacy looks after 110 veterans’ families, providing services such as home-care visits, welfare support, social outings and get-togethers.

Mr Hutton said people seeking further information could call Ararat Legacy House on 5352 9072, or mobile 0419 316 920 or email araratlegacy@gmail.com.

Western Highway Action Committee has welcomed a Federal Government decision to push on with development based on an assessment of cultural heritage concerns involving several prominent trees.

Work on the Ballarat-to-Stawell road-duplication project has been the subject of lengthy and costly delays, a 12.5-kilometre section of route between Buangor and Ararat raising major objections from Aboriginal and landowner lobby groups.

Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley, after assessing concerns and an application from Djab Wurrung Heritage Protection Embassy for heritage protection of a specific area, was confident previous planning had addressed heritage issues.

The highway action committee is confident Ms Ley’s decision demonstrated that Major Road Projects Victoria had undertaken ‘proper planning and consultation in this important project’.

Committee chair and Northern Grampians Shire Council representative Kevin Erwin said it was ‘great to see’ Western Highway upgrades would shortly restart.

“This important project has undergone numerous checks and balances and reviews – it’s time for the works to continue,” he said.

“It’s fantastic that earthworks, drainage and widening of the existing highway within a 3.85km section have progressed so far. It’s now time we get on with the rest.

“This duplication work will not only improve safety, but provide a vital and much-needed

boost to the local economy.” The committee is also confident the Federal Government decision followed a Victorian Ombudsman’s report that VicRoads, MRPV and the Victorian government ‘acted lawfully, respectfully and appropriately in relation to this project’.

KORS

Community-based Keep Original Route Supports, KORS, a strong lobbyist group against the development route, continues to argue the go-ahead represents a ‘mistake’.

KORS chairman Neil Marriot said everyone wanted a safer road.

“Our environmental group KORS wants a safer road too. No argument,” he said.

“We accept the highway will be altered. The question is where? KORS is asking for a review of relevant information because it looks as though a costly mistake is being made.

“The mistake is to build the road at the expense of cultural heritage and landscape. It looks as though we can have safety as well as cultural heritage and landscape on this stretch of highway and save taxpayers’ money too.

“While KORS does not speak for other groups, we can see that the Indigenous cause is genuine.

“Djab Wurrung are in the hearts and minds of many who support them. There are new reports from authorities in this field and new environmental reports also.

“The threat to the land from the highway widening is real. Because of the threat and the reports, Traditional Owners won twice in the federal court, where government decisions not to protect the land were quashed. The legal cases are to protect an area of land, not to stop the road. The reports show what is of value and what can be saved. Recent realignment has been minor. It’s time to save this place.”

Wins and misses in sports funding H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham municipal leaders will continue to seek external funding for a riverfront activation project despite missing out on State Government support for a water-play park.

Horsham Rural City Council had applied for $3-million to develop an area near the Wimmera River between Horsham Caravan Park and Horsham City Rowing Club.

But the Horsham bid was missing from a list of successful applications that Sport and Recreation Victoria, SRV, released last week.

SRV announced grants totalling $68-million for projects across the state.

These included major Yarriambiack Shire sport-facility projects at Brim, Beulah and Rupanyup that attracted $2.67-million.

The government also provided a $1.75-million boost for transformational work at Goroke Recreation Reserve in West Wimmera Shire.

Horsham council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the council would keep working to attract state and federal government grants.

“We are disappointed to have missed out this round. But it is exciting to see some important projects funded in our wider Wimmera region,” he said.

“We understand the funding round was highly oversubscribed and we encourage both the state and federal governments to provide more COVID stimulus funding in the sport and active recreation space.”

Mr Bhalla said the concept of a natural waterplay area had attracted strong Horsham community support.

He said the project was shovel-ready and construction could start next year.

“A community reference group has worked very hard with the council and landscape designers to create plans for the all-year-round natural play area that will be a regional focus for tourism and economic recovery,” he said.

“The project will have a high impact on both economic recovery and active recreation.

“The community has told us that enhancing the riverfront precinct is a high priority and bringing in new investment will help our recovery from COVID-19.

“We will develop an advocacy strategy that is aimed at delivering both of those results.”

Goroke win

The Goroke project includes construction of a new pavilion and change rooms for netball, tennis and football and football umpires.

It also includes a gymnasium, public toilets, social room and kitchen.

The almost $2-million project is designed to increase sport and active recreation participation opportunities and directly affect the community liveability, health and wellbeing for Goroke residents and nearby farming communities.

Construction will also likely have a direct impact on the Goroke town economy.

A Goroke reserve management group has spent the past 10 years raising $140,000 through farming and cropping donations to make up the main difference for the project.

MASSIVE WIN: Goroke Recreation Reserve committee president Nick Gabbe at the site of a new community centre.

“It will be a versatile building. We tried to tick all the boxes to make it as universal and functional as possible” – Nick Gabbe

West Wimmera Shire Council is providing about $50,000 and Goroke Apex Club a similar amount.

West Wimmera mayor Bruce Meyer said getting the funding represented a ‘massive’ win for the Goroke community.

“It is going to be a magnificent building and a valuable community asset. The reserve group has been working on the concept for a number of years,” he said.

The reserve is home to a busy tennis club, Kowree-Naracoorte-Tatiara Football League club Border Districts plays three games there every season and predictions are the new building will also become a hub for a broad cross-section of community activities.

Plans also include reinvigorating a cricket club and continuing social matches with neighbouring districts.

Reserve committee president Nick Gabbe said the project had involved considerable time, work and commitment.

“It will be a versatile building. We tried to tick all the boxes to make it as universal and functional as possible,” he said.

“We’re pretty rapt and looking forward to walking into new a building next year without needing to fix anything.

“The old building is from the 1940s and a bit of an embarrassment.”

Mr Gabbe said the pavilion was part of a 10year strategic plan to continue developing the reserve.

Victorian Local Government Minister Shaun Leane confirmed the date on advice from Victorian Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton.

In a Victorian first, communities statewide will elect municipal councils by postal voting.

The announcement ends speculation that elections might be delayed because of COVID-19 restrictions.

Mr Leane said he sought advice from the State Government Solicitor’s Office and Chief Health Officer as to how to best proceed while Victoria was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

“I also engaged with the local government sector to fully understand concerns regarding the impact of current restrictions in Victoria on campaigning and relayed that I would act on advice from the Chief Health Officer,” he said.

“The Chief Health Officer has advised that October represents a period when risk is likely to be substantially lower than at present, and there are no compelling public health grounds for the elections to be delayed.

“The Chief Health Officer has also worked closely with the Victorian Electoral Commission and is satisfied that appropriate physical distancing, cleaning and hygiene and workforce planning have all been considered and integrated into the VEC’s COVIDSafe plans.”

Mr Leane said the electoral commission had advised that election preparations were already well underway and there were no administrative or procedural barriers to the election being on October 24.

“This decision was not made lightly and is based on the best public health advice available – but I am pleased Victorian communities can have their say on their local government representa-

tives at democratic council general elections as planned,” he said.

“A set of safe campaigning guidelines have been developed in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services to help candidates follow the Chief Health Officer’s directions and health advice during the campaign.

“The guidelines include advice on how to safely conduct permitted campaign activities, safety for campaign teams, hygiene and physical distancing.”

The government has also launched its candidate training course online, which all prospective candidates need to complete.

The course includes information on how councils operate, support available to councillors, the councillor code of conduct, conflict-of-interest guidelines and election-donation rules.

The training course is one of a suite of reforms introduced through a new Local Government Act designed to enhance integrity and build community confidence in councils.

All candidates will also be able to provide voters with a 300-word statement in their ballot packs sent to voters.

“I wish prospective candidates all the best for the upcoming campaign period, and encourage all Victorians to make their vote count,” Mr Leane said.

Ararat call for engagement Ararat municipal leaders have urged voters to check enrolment details and to consider the future of Ararat district in a countdown to October 24 local government elections.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said elected councillors represented the people of Ararat Rural City, so it was important that all people had their say.

“Those elected will have a large influence on the community’s future. I urge all those eligible to make sure they’re on the voters’ roll and consider what they want to see in our future,” he said.

Ararat Rural City Council is working to ensure all voters are informed of their options in the upcoming election.

Important dates, links and information on the role of local government is available on Ararat Rural City website, ararat.vic.gov.au.

“Voting is about so much more than just avoiding a fine from the Victorian Electoral

Commission. I urge the community to research what they are voting on and carefully consider what matters most to them,” Dr Harrison said.

Dr Harrison said the first important date to remember for this election was the close of the voters’ roll on Friday.

He said state-enrolled voters could ensure their details were correct through the Victorian Electoral Commission website, www.vec.vic.gov.au, while councilenrolled voters could call the council office on 5355 0208.

Ballot packs will go out to every person on the voters’ roll between October 6 and 8. Ballot packs include information on candidates, how to vote, and a reply-paid envelope for completed ballot papers. State-enrolled voters not at their address at this time can contact the VEC, while council-enrolled voters can contact Ararat Rural City Council to have their pack sent to a forwarding address.

Candidate applauds election affirmation

H

orsham council candidate Brian Basham has welcomed confirmation that local government elections will go ahead as planned on October 24.

Mr Basham, an outspoken social media commentator on Horsham district issues, said the postal-vote elections would provide people with important purpose in looking beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s not really that exciting but it provides people with a way to look forward to the future,” he said.

“It is something that is scheduled that is actually going ahead when everything else is being cancelled. It gives people something concrete.”

Mr Basham said he made the observation based on his work as a mental-health counsellor.

But he added the election also came at a time when Horsham people were despondent with their representative council.

He said it was important for the community to regain confidence in their elected representatives as a group and elections represented an opportunity to rekindle the relationship.

“The key issues moving forward surround strong governance, decision-making transparency and financial accountability,” he said.

“It is not about being for or against specific ideas or projects, but more about deeply exploring need and relevance, potential and where there are or aren’t returns in investment – and making a profound effort to take the community along for every step of the process.”

Mr Basham said right or wrong, there was a strong perception the Horsham council did too much business ‘behind closed doors’.

“There seems to be a whole lot of secrecy in this council. Sure, there are issues that require confidential discussion, but the reasons for this need to be responsibly declared,” he said.

“I’m not sure that’s happening. Horsham people deserve openness and will respect a call if they understand its reasoning.

“Allowing the community to remain in the dark leads to nefarious responses and action.”

Mr Basham said he believed elected councillors must be at the vanguard in directing community health, progress and development and be wary of relying too heavily on council officers’ recommendations.

“While officers and their teams bring critical skills, experience and information to the table, my philosophy is that councillors should always take the lead instead of taking direction,” he said.

“It seems many councils can fall into a trap of a type of blind obedience.”

Mr Basham said he believed Horsham council needed to continually revisit its long-term planning directions – for the broader municipality as well as its urban hub.

He added the municipality should further embrace and pursue the ideals of national decentralisation through advocacy and planning.

“I would love Horsham to become an innovator in manufacturing and product development, perhaps starting with recycled material,” he said.

“The amount of brilliant ideas in the community is phenomenal. A council’s job is to tap into that and facilitate ways to get these ideas off the ground.”

• The Weekly Advertiser encourages council candidates to come forward with views on pressing issues leading up to the elections.

Wet weather turnaround F

FOR

Father’s Day

BY DYLAN DE JONG

armer confidence in the 2020 cropping season is growing following steady rain across the Wimmera and Mallee, showing promising signs of a wetter than average spring.

A solid start to cropping in the region saw good crop establishment for many farmers during April and May. But the Wimmera faced dry conditions in winter months, where Horsham recorded its lowest July rainfall total in more than 20 years at less than 15 millimeters.

A reprieve from the dry spell came during August where recorded rain across parts of the Wimmera including at Horsham, Nhill and Edenhope measured more than 40mm.

Bureau of Meteorology, BoM, outlook is promising more wet weather as chances of a La Niña pattern, associated with wetter weather, developing during spring was increasing.

For Nhill grain grower Brett Wheaton the rain could not be timelier.

“We had 10.5mm last week and probably had an inch in the past fortnight, which has been great because I finished spraying the last of my paddocks about a fortnight ago,” Mr Wheaton said.

“For us now it is a matter of monitoring the crops. We probably won’t put fungicide on unless it gets wetter.

“At the moment, it’s just a matter of praying for that spring rain.”

Mr Wheaton said he got an early start to cropping this year, which assisted with crop establishment.

“Because of having no sport early in the year due to COVID-19, we were finished cropping in May, which is the earliest we’ve ever done it,” he said.

“As far as crop germination and having a good pre-season moisture profile go – that’s been fantastic.”

Mr Wheaton said during the dry period in July, his farm recorded just 11mm of rain.

“The long-term forecast was showing above average rain, but we never got it,” he said.

“However, we’ve been lucky enough to live on small shower events that have maintained our crops.”

Fighting frost

Rupanyup Farmer Andrew Weidemann welcomed wetter weather, saying it was a ‘big turnaround’ for his grains and pulses.

The bureau’s weather data shows Rupanyup has recorded more than 60mm of rain during August.

Ph 5352 3758 PRAYING FOR SPRING RAIN: Brett Wheaton checks his planet barley crop at Nhill.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Mr Weidemann said the wet weather was a major relief after a dry, frost-stricken winter across the district.

“Early sown crops were starting to feel the pinch, but this rain has really boosted our confidence and we’ll hopefully get more in September,” he said.

“The weather reports by all accounts are looking positive and there’s big change of a La Niña weather pattern on the way.”

Mr Weidemann said his crops were exposed to more than 30 frosts during the winter, hindering growth.

He said the lowest temperature he recorded was minus-three degrees.

“The frosts over the past eight weeks prior to the rain had really held back a lot of later-sown crops,” he said.

“Anything sown around May was struggling with the frost and slow growth.

“We had no rain from the start of June.

We only had 20mm all up until the most recent rain events and we were frost after frost, so nothing was growing.”

Mr Weidemann said wetter weather was a promising sign he could pull off some decent crops come harvest time.

HORSHAM

“Pulses look good, canola looks good, wheat and barley both look excellent,” he said.

“If we can get a follow up of more than 40 or 50mm over September, I think the Wimmera and a fair chunk of the Mallee will get away with a good season.”

National outlook

National weather forecasters have raised their El Niño-Southern Oscillation Outlook to La Niña alert status, meaning the chance of wetter-than-usual conditions for much of Australia in the coming months.

The BoM outlook shows the chances of a La Niña occurring this year has increased to 70 percent, roughly three times higher than normal.

The last significant La Niña event was in 2010-11, which was Australia’s wettest two-year period on record, surpassing a previous record from La Niña years of 1973-74. Flooding occurred in the Wimmera in 2011.

Clarke: Diversity a must for council A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wotjobaluk man believes First Nations people must seek leadership positions within local government to help diversify representation in Wimmera municipalities.

Barengi Gadjin Land Council, BGLC, chairman Dylan Clarke is urging Wimmera Traditional Owners to consider nominating themselves for 2020 local government elections on October 24.

Mr Clarke, who represents Wimmera Traditional Owner groups in State Government, said there was a need for more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation in regional and rural councils across Australia.

He said diversity of voice within the political process, whether local, state or federal, was paramount to opening opportunities for all people.

“When I think about it, there isn’t much representation across the board of Aboriginal people who run in council. It’s the metro areas where I have heard of successful Traditional Owners working in those spaces,” he said.

“There is a need for a culture change, not only within our region, but across Australia, and the attitudes toward Aboriginal people.

“It so important to have Aboriginal people within those systems and structures to be able to implement and create a bit of change.”

The interests of Wotjobaluk, Wergaia, Jupagalk, Jaadwa and Jadawadjali people have been front and centre for the Ballarat-born man in his many leadership roles for more than a decade.

Mr Clarke, 28, who has strong ancestral ties to the Wotjobaluk people, delegates with state authorities in his positions at Department of Premier and Cabinet for Aboriginal Victoria and First People’s Assembly of Victoria.

The first steps he took towards representing his people started at 18 when he became a BGLC member and later chairman.

“Leadership roles can be very difficult roles to be able to fulfil,” Mr Clarke said.

“Passion is key – if you have a passion, don’t limit yourself, that’s probably one of things I haven’t done.

“In pursuit of the various areas I’ve been a part of, they have all been stepping stones towards those passions.”

Mr Clarke said Aboriginal leaders within council could help strengthen the link and open conversations between indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

“I think there needs to be a lot more that happens at local level – there needs to be a bit of an uproar to societal change around inclusivity of these diverse areas,” he said.

“There might be stuff we’ll encounter that might be hard to talk about or difficult to understand, and there may be trauma attached to it, but if we’re sharing and opening dialogue among various groups and understanding each other,

CLICK AND BREAKING BARRIERS: Wotjobaluk man Dylan Clarke is encouraging Aboriginal people across the Wimmera to consider standing for their council in 2020 local government elections. it’s going to bring a lot more of the community together.”

Mr Clarke said councils such as Horsham Rural City Council, that adopt reconciliation plans and work with Aboriginal advisory committees, was a step in a positive direction.

A Horsham Aboriginal Advisory Committee helped form a 2018-20 Reconciliation Action Plan to contribute to ‘closing the gap’ to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through services council provides.

But Mr Clarke said Aboriginal leadership was needed within all Wimmera councils to aid the reconciliation journey.

“Many councils have reconciliation action plans in place, some don’t – but I think actually having Aboriginal involvement as councillors or working in the office in higher managing roles can really add to that value of reconciliation,” he said.

“Often times I’ve seen in the past things can be one sided in council decisions. I think that needs more of an open approach to dialogue and more healing across those processes too.

“We must encourage Traditional Owners to seek these positions and have input into their local council – don’t limit yourself, the sky is the limit with it.”

Nominations for local government elections open September 17.

WANNA GET HIGH?

PROGRESS: St Arnaud artist Kyle Torney, centre, is more than halfway through his silo art project that depicts a male prospector with his wife and son from the 1800s.

Silo art a reality for St Arnaud S

BY DYLAN DE JONG

t Arnaud born and bred artist Kyle Torney is using his creative talent to transform his home town into a gateway to the Wimmera-Mallee’s silo art trail.

Torney, known in the region for his sketches in charcoal, biro and spray paint art works, is painting two large silos with images that reflect St Arnaud’s gold mining history.

The Wimmera artist has so far painted a gold prospector on one silo and is finishing off the piece with the prospector’s wife and son.

The concept design underpins St Arnaud’s origins as an area economically grounded in its gold mining fortunes dating back to 1855.

“I’m depicting a pretty prominent part of a St Arnaud’s history. It’s a bit of a narrative the community was keen on,” Torney said.

“This is the first time painting silos for me.

It’s like painting a canvas, but much bigger – although you have to contend with the arc of the silo.”

Torney gained financial support for his volunteer project with backing from community group St Arnaud ArtSpace and Northern Grampians Shire Council.

He said the St Arnaud community wanted to springboard off the tourism benefits associated with the region’s silo art trail.

“A group in the community pushed really hard to get this going because it’s a project that will really help St Arnaud in terms of tourism,” he said.

“We need any bit of help we can get. The small businesses here are struggling.

“This also gives people a sense of pride when outsiders come to town, they will want to show tourists around.”

Wimmera tourism leaders deem the trail, coined ‘Australia’s largest outdoor gallery’, as a major tourist attraction in regional and rural Victoria.

Torney said the tourism potential was needed to support the Northern Grampians town of less than 2500.

“We really hope, once everyone is allowed, it will bring tourist through town,” he said.

“Ultimately our goal is to make St Arnaud the gateway to the silo art trail up through the Wimmera.

“We’re already one of the first stops, particularly for people coming from south up to the silo trail.”

Torney’s art is well-known to residents of St Arnaud, where he has completed four murals in the town including art teacher Andrea Hicks and Australian boxing legends Jeff Fenech and Lionel Rose.

He said it was a ‘special feeling’ to be able to feature his own art across a town he grew up in.

“My family has got pretty strong ties with the town. I grew up here but moved to Melbourne for four or five years and moved back recently and started a family with my wife who is also a local girl,” he said.

“I take a lot of pride in where I’m from and I like to see it do well. I have my own business here in town as well, so I know how difficult it is to get by.”

Options for West Wimmera residents West Wimmera Shire Council leaders have encouraged residents to ‘reach out’ if they are struggling to pay their rates.

The council is distributing rate notices to residents for the 2020-2021 financial year.

Overall, there has been a two percent rate increase in West Wimmera Shire for general and municipal charges.

Rates for individual properties might go up or down, depending on their property’s valuation change, relative to others. The council has also increased waste collection fees by two percent to cover the increasing cost of the service.

Rates notices will also include the Fire Services Property Levy, which is collected on behalf of the State Revenue Office.

Mayor Bruce Meyer urged anyone who might struggle to pay their rates to contact the council.

He said the council was offering relief on rates and charges to businesses and individuals struggling financially as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The council has established payment plans, interest relief and deferment options to help peoWednesday, August 26, 2020

ple pay their rates and municipal charges. The measures are part of the council’s COVID-19 hardship policy.

Cr Meyer said COVID-19 restrictions had had a negative economic effect throughout Victoria.

“This has led to many businesses closing their doors and widespread unemployment throughout the state and in West Wimmera Shire,” he said.

“There are likely to be ratepayers and residents within the shire who are negatively affected by the current economic environment.”

The hardship policy aims to help ratepayers affected by COVID-19 without creating additional financial stress when the pandemic has been resolved.

Cr Meyer said the council also had an existing Rate Recovery and Financial Hardship Policy.

He said Rural Financial Counselling Service could also help people struggling financially.

Counsellors can assist West Wimmera Shire residents to access state and federal government payments and support packages. People can also call Rural Financial Counselling Service on 1300 735 578 for more information.

Investing, gambling?

T

he potential financial results of investing can feel limitless and it can be tempting to think that just one stock pick could make you an overnight millionaire.

Yes, stock-picking can have a place in your investment strategy, but if you are focused on the allure of a get-rich-quick mentality, you might be gambling, not investing.

What’s the difference?

One of the key differences between investing and gambling is process and strategy.

If you do not have a process and strategy in place, it is a sign that you need to establish or refine your plan.

Further, gambling focuses on emotions such as hope. Investing, on the other hand, is all about strategy.

With a clear strategy, you know approximately how much your investments will grow and over what time horizons.

If you’re unsure whether your current investment approach is working to realise your goals, think about your investment process and how many of the below five elements are included in your approach.

Research

If you are not completing any research and putting money into assets based on tips from friends or what you see on social media, you are exposing yourself to increased risk and not doing enough due diligence.

Micro-cap stocks

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

If you do not have an investment strategy, your investing will not be as effective as it could be.

To start putting together an investment strategy, you need to think about things such as: • Building up adequate cash buffers; • How much money you need invested to live comfortably off your returns; and • When you anticipate you will start drawing an income from your investments.

$500-million and are ranked from 350 to 600 on the Australian Stock Exchange.

With a relatively small market capitalisation, buying stocks in these companies can be cheap.

The downside, however, is that these companies are usually in their infancy and experience volatile price fluctuations.

There’s a place for micro-cap stocks in your investing.

However, if you are putting all of your money into these companies, you are likely exposing yourself to unnecessary risk.

Long-term strategy

Short time horizons

Putting all of your money into short-term investments or activities such as day trading is an indication that you are too focused on short-term gains without a longterm strategy.

There’s a place for short time horizons in your investing, but only once you have mastered the foundations such as establishing a longterm plan and ensuring you have adequate cash buffers.

Lack of diversification

If all of your money is invested in one asset class, you will be over-exposed to volatility in a single market.

Investing in different asset classes such as equities, commodities and fixed-income assets is a great way to build long-term wealth.

To build this wealth, however, you need a strategy and process to follow.

If you’re unsure how to develop an investment strategy, be sure to seek qualified financial advice.

Investing in this advice now can reap great rewards in the years to come, ensuring your money is working to help you realise your financial and lifestyle goals a lot sooner.

Practice supports region Staff members at a newly established Wimmera veterinary practice are continuing to treat animals across the region despite challenges during the second wave of COVID-19.

Veterinarian Dr Tony James and his family moved to the region from Hong Kong to re-establish a Warracknabeal veterinary practice that had been out of action for more than a year.

Dr James renamed the practice Wimmera Mallee Veterinary Services and provides treatment for animals ranging from horses to cats and dogs, specialising in greyhounds.

He said within 12 months the practice had already expanded, employing additional staff and part-time veterinarians to help him meet demand across the Wimmera and Mallee.

“It’s grown so much that I have two part-time vets working for me, the equivalent of one full-time job, that’s how busy we’ve got,” he said.

“My practice covers Nhill to south of Horsham, up to Donald and the Henty Highway to Turriff and Speed, Lascelles, Hopetoun and Rainbow.”

Dr James said many residents had

reported a greater appreciation of their pets during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“There’s certainly much more interaction with their owners, which particularly helps cats and dogs socialise and exercise more,” he said.

“When we talk about diet, care or exercise, often in the past people weren’t doing it. Now people are saying they are giving their animals more attention than they usually would.”

Dr James said he was aware of financial hardship people might be experiencing due to COVID-19.

“Life is pretty difficult under COVID and I’m very aware of the costs involved in taking a pet to the vet,” he said.

“COVID has made it harder for owners, particularly for casual workers.

“I’m hearing stories of people who were a few weeks short of being eligible for JobKeeper.

“We do offer payment plans for people needing help.”

The practice also plans to offer oneon-one puppy training sessions during the pandemic that will later become group sessions when restrictions ease.

Digging in at Hopetoun lake L

ake Lascelles at Hopetoun has a reputation as an oasis but the popular holiday retreat has taken on a new role under COVID-19 restrictions.

The lake foreshore has become a short-term home for travelling ‘grey nomad’ campervan groups stuck between destinations.

Some of the travellers have been based at the southern Mallee lake since March, unable to complete journeys because of various restrictions or circumstances.

They also know that under interim rules, if they leave the lake, they will be unable to return.

The lake was a magnet for travelling tourists shortly before the reintroduction of stage-three restrictions across regional Victoria.

At one stage up to 40 to 50 campervans were visiting a night.

With a retightening of restrictions, a foreshore-management committee gave groups an option of moving on or staying, but under strict rules.

Hopetoun’s Lascelles-Corrong management committee president Bert Hallam said people staying at the lake were travellers from across Australia.

“They’re from all over the place and we’re helping them out at the moment,” he said.

“I suppose there are worse places to get stuck – it’s a pretty nice place.”

Mr Hallam agreed it was an unusual and awkward situation for a group of volunteers who managed the popular tourist spot.

“The police have helped us out to make sure everything is okay,” he said.

Mr Hallam said while the travellers were temporarily stuck at the lake, that

WAITING IT OUT: Travellers Dawn and Chris Hudd have been staying at Lake Lascelles in Hopetoun since March. The couple had been travelling back from Western Australia and had made it to the southern Mallee when authorities tightened COVID-19 restrictions.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER did not mean others could turn up and camp.

“We’ve had to turn people away.

There is no camping allowed and everyone should stay at home. For the people at the lake, that’s their home for the moment.”

Dawn and Chris Hudd are among the people ‘stranded’ at Lake Lascelles after travelling back to Victoria from Western Australia in March.

Mrs Hudd said the couple, originally from Melbourne but on the road for three years, had been halfway across the Nullarbor when they started to hear

rumours that petrol stops were going to close at border crossings.

“We decided to drive longer during the day, which we don’t usually do, and hot-footed it back to Victoria. I needed to be back in Melbourne to see a specialist,” she said.

“We made it back to Victoria about March 24, made it to Hopetoun and have been here ever since. My meeting with the specialist turned into a phone appointment.

“I don’t like to use the word stuck when you can’t travel. It’s a beautiful place and a lovely community. The vol-

unteers do a fantastic job.” Mrs Hudd said they had been preparing to leave for Melbourne shortly before the latest lockdown, including the introduction of stage-four restrictions in Melbourne.

“We were told that because we were already here, we could stay, but if we left we couldn’t come back. We decided it was safer to stay,” she said.

Yarriambiack mayor Graeme Massey said Lake Lascelles had become a major attraction and stop-off point for many travellers and was likely to become busy again when authorities lifted restrictions.

Ararat swim school offer Ararat Fitness Centre leaders will relaunch a swim school program focusing on children from all ages and skill levels, after COVID-19 restrictions ease in Victoria.

Centre co-ordinator Kim Bush said a Royal Life Saving Swim and Survive program would provide primary direction for classes.

“It has a high focus on staying safe around water,” she said.

“Beyond this, the centre will also teach students recognisable freestyle stroke, backstroke and provide options to continue through to advanced or elite levels.

“This is made possible by working with and supporting the Ararat Swimming Club so students can progress to reach their swimming potential.”

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said swim teachers at Ararat Fitness Centre were passionate, qualified and experienced.

“I have confidence in our fitness centre staff to teach the children of our community about everything from swim safety through to advanced swim techniques,” he said.

“To make the most of our beautiful regional areas it’s important that we teach our community how to be safe in them.

“Our swim teachers understand the importance of swim safety and will help to save lives before risks are even present.”

Ararat Fitness Centre plans include training more swim teachers, with current teachers being mentors for the new staff.

More teachers will open the door for more classes.

CELEBRATED: Second World War veteran Cyril Webb has received a service award from Horsham RSL, 75 years on from the war.

’ YOUR BACK S

BIGGEST

Thank you, Cyril

H

orsham RSL leaders have honoured Second World War veteran Cyril Webb while commemorating Victory in the Pacific Day.

August 15 marked the 75th anniversary of the end of the war.

Mr Webb, 95, is one of Horsham’s four remaining Second World War veterans to be recognised by the city’s RSL and collected his service award on August 19.

Mr Webb, who lives in Ingenia Gardens Horsham, was a teenager when the war broke out.

“I was about 18 years old when I enlisted in the Volunteer Defence Corp, travelling around to different farms and we only had a bath and changed our clothes once a week – it was hard work, but that’s the way it was,” Mr Webb said.

“A lot of farmers needed men like me to help with farming, shearing, fruit picking, fencing and the like because their sons had gone to war and they were too old to enlist.

“It was essential to have people like us at home to help, and we also had regular rifle training so that we were prepared to head overseas to fight.”

Mr Webb said he was ‘very pleased and touched’ to collect an award and recognition from Horsham RSL, particularly on such a significant anniversary.

“It was so nice to be acknowledged and now I have my award framed and hanging on my wall where I can see it,” he said.

Horsham RSL Military History and Heritage Library coordinator Sally Bertram said the personal stories that come from the Second World War – and all wars – had such incredible value.

She said she felt lucky to be part of a team responsible for keeping such stories and memorabilia.

“So many families have someone that has served and has a story, sometimes tragic or brave, and in my eyes, all are worthy of being remembered,” she said.

“Our boys copped a lot and did their job for our country without wanting accolades or acknowledgement, and veterans like Cyril deserve a lifetime of gratitude from us all.

“The servicemen and women who have served, whether at home or overseas, have seen the unimaginable and to see that there are veterans like Cyril still with us living a good life in retirement at Ingenia Gardens is so nice.

“I thank everyone who has served and they should be remembered and acknowledged.”

Grampians protection order extended Parks Victoria is extending protection zones throughout the Grampians, placing popular rock-climbing and bushwalking areas off limits to the public.

Three popular rock-climbing areas – Taipan Wall, Spurt Wall and Bundaleer – will temporarily close following the discovery of stone tools and an ochre deposit, used for painting and decorative purposes at ancient quarry sites.

The discoveries were the result of a Traditional Owners park survey as part of a process to develop a new management plan for the Grampians landscape.

Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation and Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation said

in a joint statement their surveys had found recreational use of the park was ‘impacting significantly’ on cultural sites in the Grampians, known to Traditional Owners as Gariwerd.

Three Grampians Traditional-Owner corporations have supported the decision and Parks Victoria will now work on a longer-term management plan for the protection of the sites.

Parks Victoria regional director Jason Bord said he was aware protection zones were ‘highly regarded climbing areas’ and hoped to continue to consult with climbers to work together to protect and celebrate the unique rediscoveries.

A long-term plan for the area is expected to be released for further public consultation later this year.

Council plans for the future

GRATITUDE: Family connections in Murtoa convinced singer-songwriter Joanne Craigie to visit the Stick Shed while she was on a road trip to the Wimmera during February this year. The iconic shed is now at the heart of a song she created with her Coolibah Coolective bandmates.

N

orthern Grampians Shire Council will work on a new planning 2021-31 blueprint to ensure the municipality can emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic as strongly as possible.

The council, with primary bases in Stawell and St Arnaud, will liaise with a project steering committee, featuring key industry and community representatives, for the next six months on the plan.

Council chief executive Liana Thompson said the new Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan would establish a ‘great’ base for the shire’s future.

“As a consequence of COVID-19, all industry sectors are being impacted in some way. At the same time, opportunities to work differently have arisen,” she said.

“It is critical that while the council continues to respond to immediate needs, we orientate ourselves towards the future.

“We need to be ready to recover from COVID-19 and ultimately put our economy on a trajectory of growth.

“Now is our opportunity to prepare for that.”

Due for completion in early 2021, the plan will define what the shire community wants the future economy to look like, what pathways the area will pursue to get there, and what action the community will take to pursue those pathways.

Stick Shed inspires musical creation A ukulele band from Canberra is not typically what one would associate with a major grain storage facility in the Wimmera.

However, the region’s iconic cathedral-like Murtoa Stick Shed has become the focus of newly formed Canberra band Coolibah Coolective’s song-writing efforts.

Singer-songwriter Joanne Craigie drew inspiration from the war-time history of the major grain storage centre and with help from her bandmates crafted a four-minute folk ballad called Stick Shed.

Family connections in Murtoa convinced Craigie to visit the Stick Shed while she was on a road trip to the Wimmera during February this year.

“The song is about youthful energy, bush ingenuity, love, life and reflection,” Craigie said.

“Once we were so warmly welcomed and shown through the fantastic information centre, I started to feel a real gratitude and felt humble that such a big project had been such

Liana Thompson Ms Thompson said the plan would be about practical things the council could and must do to build the economic wellbeing and quality of life for communities.

Northern Grampians Shire councillor Tony Driscoll will chair the project steering committee.

“This is a critical piece of work for the council,” Cr Driscoll said.

“The strategy will identify where council resources are likely to get the best possible return for effort, in relation to council’s economic development services and activities.

“Our rural region has so much to offer and we have to make the most of our unique assets and competitive advantages.”

announced its surrender, ending the Second World War in the Pacific.

“I wondered about the people who made the shed and if they had a major life experience as being part of creating the shed,” Craigie said.

“And I wondered how being part of such a major project would echo through that person’s life.”

Craigie said she formed Coolabah Coolective alongside Paul Marsh and Merarth Tarrant on ukulele and harmonies, bassist Rod Fenwick and percussionist James Green in response to COVID-19 to provide a musical outlet and enjoy music in their back yard.

“I’m very lucky to play music with some wonderful collaborators. They worked with me on my idea, they encouraged me,” she said.

“It’s not as if I’m an accomplished songwriter. I guess I had the right inspiration and the right people around me, people who felt what I had to say was worth amplifying. I’m really grateful for that.”

an important part of our Australian history and I was basically unaware of it.”

Craigie said on entering Murtoa’s major tourist attraction, she felt it transported her back to its Second World War origins.

She said the fact ‘bush carpenters’ built the shed within four months to meet demand for grain that could not be sent to the war was fascinating.

“Having travelled to many cathedrals in Europe, I had the same feeling when walking inside a beautiful cathedral,” she said.

“One of the things I find myself doing when travelling is I try to imagine the people and the families and the lifestyle of the times when something like that was created.

“When I got back home to real life, I wanted to put my feelings down and write a song from the perspective of the young men who were called bush carpenters.”

The song was released to YouTube just one week before August 15 – the date marking 75 years after Japan

Service serving up new menu

W

est Wimmera Health Service has recognised the important role food plays in its health facilities by introducing a new five-week-rotation menu.

The new menu will feature in all six of the health service’s facilities.

Hospitality and environmental services manager Yvonne Jones said food played a powerful role in people’s lives and was fundamental in the health and aged-care industry.

She said it was essential patients and residents received meals that were nutritious and delicious to improve their health and overall wellbeing.

“Meal times are more than just eating food off a plate,” she said.

“We want our residents to connect and create new memories with each other during meal times.

“We are always looking to improve and we hope this menu provides more tasty options for our consumers to enjoy.”

Ms Jones said the council team of qualified dietitians and speech pathologists had played a pivotal role in assuring every meal was ‘tasty yet nutritionally balanced’ and preferences were available that could be modified to meet the ongoing needs of patients and residents.

Speech pathologist Yingying He said the menu was the result of a collaborative effort between multiple disciplines and initially driven by patient and resident feedback.

“It was important for us to take into consideration what foods our patients and residents enjoyed and changing those they didn’t,” he said.

Dietitian Emily Taylor added the service was excited about the new menu and hoped new options would reignite patient and residents’ enjoyment of food while in care.

West Wimmera Health Service has also formed a ‘food service and quality committee’ as part of an improvement process.

The committee will review and evaluate the progress of the menu. It will also be responsible for addressing a broad range of areas relating to food service, such as nutritional adequacy of meals, meal variety, meal-time environment and quality and safety.

Chief executive Ritchie Dodds said the health service understood the importance of nutritious and wholesome food, which was why a qualified catering team cooked fresh on site to provide quality meals to patients and residents.

“We are proud to use local businesses to contribute to production of our menu,” he said.

Supporters wear purple to celebrate diversity and young people from the LGBTIQA+ community.

The Wear it Purple movement encourages supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for young ‘rainbow’ people.

Wear it Purple started in 2010 in response to global stories of teenagers, their heartache and their responses.

In 2010, several young people died followed bullying and harassment resulting from the lack of acceptance of their sexuality or gender identity. As the world saw the faces of young lives lost, some young people found a new sense of conviction and purpose to ensure that young people everywhere would know there were people who provided support and love.

Wear it Purple was established to show young people across the globe that there was hope, that there were people who provided support and acceptance, and that they had the right to be proud of who they were.

Fostering a career in nursing A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera training leader believes nursing in a rural health service presents boundless opportunities for people to master their profession.

East Grampians Health Service training and development manager Claire Sladdin helps nurses across the region navigate and build on their careers.

She believes nurses training at a rural or regional setting develop leadership skills earlier.

“I’ve worked in both city and regional centres. In regional settings we are very familiar with our staff.

It’s a very friendly environment,” Ms Sladdin said.

“There’s opportunities to progress and you have to be on your toes.

“We don’t have the resources that are available in a metro hospital.

“There are opportunities to develop leadership skills at a much earlier time in your career.”

The health service partners with Federation TAFE to help students study and gain hands-on experience from an enrolled nurse right through to completing their master’s degree.

Ms Sladdin said the health service aimed to give people from regional areas an opportunity to develop their skills closer to home.

“The diploma of nursing that we offer on-site here is a way of growing our own nurses,” she said.

“What we offer them is a graduate year to support what they have learnt

in theory and be able to apply that in practice.

“We are trying to cater to our students who are local people who have studied here for the past two years.

“We want to put them into our workforce and continue to grow our own, which is our philosophy.”

Ms Sladdin said a career in nursing gave students a range of career-building opportunities to work across various clinical areas.

“You’re never not learning – that’s a big part of being a nurse,” she said.

“Nursing allows people to progress into a career. Enrolled nurses can go on to do a Bachelor of Nursing and go on to be a registered nurse.

“It offers lots of diversity, leadership and critical thinking – there’s that academia side of nursing, which I’m really passionate about as an educator.”

Ms Sladdin said the type of specialty a nurse chooses might depend on their lifestyle, strengths and an area of interest, and there was opportunity to change a specialty at any time.

“There is a variety of different avenues people can take in nursing and specialise in – which is why we offer rotations in different areas,” she said.

“Some people might like to be a generalist as well – lots of people like to work in that fast-paced environment and not know what’s coming through the door.

“Others like the structure of theatre and working with the surgeons and caring for people after their surgery, and others might like to care in the

Ms Sladdin said overall nursing was a rewarding career to help people in need.

“There’s a caring side of nursing and getting to know someone and their family, and nursing them to return home,” she said.

“I’ve nursed for 20 years and I’ve recruited a lot of young nurses.

“I hear time and time again it’s usually something they’ve experienced themselves that drives them into the career.

“Whether it’s someone passing away or looking after a sick relative, they usually want to give back.”

Chance to spread word A

need to generate understanding of a pressing ongoing societal demand for practical learning is at the core of National Skills Week.

The week carries a message that ‘learning by doing is as important as academic learning’ and is designed to showcase the many pathways to success and dispel outdated myths often associated with vocational training.

The Federal Government has been a long-time supporter of the week, now in its 10th year and geared to highlighting the talents, skills, career pathways and the value of apprentices and trainees across Australia to the wider public and employers.

The annual promotion, the brainchild of training advocacy group SkillsOne, which is again working with government and stakeholders on the concept, started on Monday.

Various community and business leaders and representatives across the Wimmera, Mallee and eastern Grampians have consistently spoken of the need to establish a home-grown skilled workforce.

Many have suggested that on-theground training and skill-development options will play a critical role in spearheading the region in a COVID-19 recovery period.

Predictions are that more ‘learning by doing’ workplace opportunities are likely to emerge and evolve strongly alongside academic positions as the region hits a reset button.

Employment boosts independence P

“If we were going to war, I’d want him standing right beside me, because I know he’s got my back – he’s an excellent worker and a lovely young man”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

acking, sorting and pressing the Wimmera’s waste for recycling has proven a solid career base for Horsham’s Gordon Keller.

Mr Keller, who is living with a disability, landed a job at Horsham-based recycling business Wastebusters after leaving school in 2001.

In his time on the job Mr Keller has obtained his forklift licence and grown in confidence to operate on-site machinery.

“I’m always keeping busy in here, processing the cardboard and polystyrene,” Mr Keller said “It’s enjoyable working here – it’s rewarding work.”

Owner and operator Mick Morris has worked alongside Mr Keller since he took over the business in 2004.

Mr Morris said since he had taken Mr Keller under his wing, he had seen him develop into an independent labourer capable of identifying and fixing workshop problems.

“If we were going to war, I’d want him standing right beside me, because I know he’s got my back – he’s an excellent worker and a lovely young man,” he said.

“He came to us not knowing how to drive a forklift – since then he’s learnt a lot about how to drive and operate machinery.

“Now, he certainly has an eye for detail and knows his way around motors – he definitely knows when something’s not sounding right.”

GROWTH: Horsham-based business Wastebusters has given Gordon Keller a solid career choice spanning more than two decades.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The company handles contracts for regional councils and is responsible for running Wimmera transfer stations.

It offers businesses advice on recycling with the aim of saving money and preventing recyclable items ending up in landfill.

Mr Morris said another big part of the job involved building relationships

with customers – and Mr Keller was always up for a chat.

“He sees the ins and outs of running the business and the need to talk and communicate with the people who are constantly coming through the door,” he said.

“If a little old lady comes in and can’t unload a trailer he’ll jump in and give her a hand.

“He’s just a very conscientious worker.”

Axis Employment, which helps people living with a disability with employment, works alongside Wastebusters to ensure Mr Keller has all the necessary support he needs.

Disability employment consultant Josh Pickering said he believed Mr Keller’s work at Wastebusters was

supporting him to live his life independently.

“If you talk to Mick, he’ll say Gordon runs the joint as his main man,” he said.

“I think Mick has been really good for his development.

“He’s come such a long way – he’s come far enough that he’s independent in everything he does in his day-today work.”

Mr Pickering said secure employment often led to more positive outcomes in a person’s life.

“It’s a massive benefit to someone’s life when they have access to employment,” he said.

“It changes their perspective on a lot of facets of their life.

“Even providing them with a starting point and seeing them transition from unemployment, starting out from nothing, to having a long-term job – it is just a massive thing to watch them grow.

“A lot of people might suffer with mental health and when they find employment or start looking for work their perception changes.”

Connecting community A

ward-winning vocational education provider SuniTAFE is among organisations swinging its weight behind National Skills Week.

SuniTAFE, which has been providing services for 40 years, expanded operations into the Wimmera in 2018 to service high-end engineering and manufacturing businesses.

The move has meant the organisation is now up-skilling and developing workforces in the region through apprentice training and expert-level advanced manufacturing machining – AutoCAD and CNC – courses.

Operating initially from a small site on Horsham’s Golf Course Road, the campus relocated to a commissioned facility in Carine Street Industrial Estate.

SuniTAFE won recognition as 2019 Large Training Provider of the Year at Victorian and Australian Training Awards.

Horsham campus regional manager Mark Deckert said SuniTAFE was committed to understanding the region to deliver relevant skills and training in support of industry efficiency and productivity.

“The Horsham campus supports training across five industries and has six trainers supported by administration,” he said.

“The campus is home to cuttingedge engineering equipment and

SuniTAFE has established partnerships with district Adult and Community Further Education providers to provide pre-accredited pathways into community-services training through Network House.

Unlocking doorways

H

orsham’s Hamish Bell is discovering his schoolbased apprenticeship is unlocking doorways.

The Horsham College year-12 student found an auto-electrician work experience opportunity at Horsham Auto Electrics in 2019.

He liked the job so much he decided to try his luck at a school-based apprenticeship. He now spends two days a week mastering his craft.

Hamish said he saw a major opportunity to develop his skills in the automotive industry, which was technologically advancing year-on-year.

“I see that as a big opportunity to learn more. I’ve been pretty familiar with cars on the automotive side of things for a fair while,” he said.

“Because everything is going electrical I thought it would be a good time to jump in and learn a bit about cars at Horsham Auto Electrics.”

Hamish’s desire to learn about vehicles goes back to his childhood. Growing up on a farm, he grew naturally inquisitive about anything motorised.

“I’ve been driving from a young age and when I was younger I was really into motorbikes,” he said.

“Now I’m at the age where I can drive and have my own vehicle, so I just wanted to expand more on the automotive side of things.”

Hamish said his work offered him a variety of opportunities and he was continually learning to diagnose, repair and service all types of vehicles.

“There’s a fair bit going on but there’s always room to grow,” he said.

“With any vehicle a new model comes out, it’s got new technology and you just have to get your head around it and figure out how to work with it – they’re all different.”

Horsham College work experience co-ordinator Genni Smith helped Hamish find his dream job, where he is now considering taking on a four-year apprenticeship.

“The school is really big on getting kids out and working and doing what they love to do. I’d love to get qualified and learn more, but I’m not too sure what the future brings just yet,” Hamish said.

Trades prove a solid career choice A

“Young apprentices can get financial support to purchase their tools and equipment and can get reductions on things like their car registration”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

regional training leader is urging young people to consider a vocational education future as Australia grapples with the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Skillinvest regional training manager Ian Westhead believes it is an opportune time to take up a traineeship or upskill in a trade.

Mr Westhead wants to break down stigmas around choosing a trade as a career path.

He said his experience with Vocational Education and Training, VET, started at a crossroads of choosing between tertiary education and a trade from a young age.

“I finished year 12 many years ago and I was accepted into a university course, but I deferred that for 12 months, and in that time, I actually got an apprenticeship as a chef,” he said.

“I then spent the next 25 years working in the hospitality industry around Australia and travelling overseas, so I’m a real fan of vocational training and trades.”

Mr Westhead said he wanted to debunk the myth that trades were just a ‘fall-back option’.

“Apprenticeships have just been seen as a second choice, but if you look around the Wimmera our biggest businesses started from being a trade and they’ve evolved into incredibly diverse organisations that employ lots of people,” he said.

Mr Westhead said the level of skill

HANDS-ON: Longerenong College student Mitchell Cockerell learns some new skills. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

required for trades was increasing, while industries such as engineering, building and construction and automotive were rapidly changing due to technology.

“Nowadays if you want to become an apprentice electrician, employers want to see year-12 maths and preferably year-12 physics as pre-requisites,” he said.

“Even when you look at construction now, the level of knowledge you need

around sustainable building and energy management is far greater.”

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships allow high school students, typically in years 10 to 12, to work as paid employees and train towards a recognised qualification while completing secondary school.

In 2019, research showed almost 90 percent of apprentices or trainees were employed following the completion of their training.

AXIS for Job Seekers

“You start earning a wage straight away and there’s a lot of financial support from the government,” Mr Westhead said.

“Young apprentices can get financial support to purchase their tools and equipment and can get reductions on things like their car registration.”

He said when a qualification was completed, tradespeople could continue to pursue further education in more specialised areas of their industry.

– Ian Westhead

“You might turn around as an automotive apprentice working on cars and change your attention to working on million-dollar agricultural machinery,” he said.

“Once you get in there and start that basic trade, that starts your journey to life-long learning.

“You could start with Skillinvest and end up working with a Formula One race team if you really wanted to.”

The National Skills Commission shows young people aged 15 to 24 had been hit hardest in COVID-19 job losses, accounting for 45 percent of the total decline in employment in May. Mr Westhead implored young people to seek out traineeships or upskilling during the pandemic, particularly those who had lost employment.

“It’s a really good idea for young people to be looking at courses, maybe doing short courses and developing their skills and knowledge, so when we come out the other side of the pandemic, they are at a level of employability,” he said.

“With access to internet, courses and information you can really educate yourself well and be ready to be employed when you come out of it.”

Forging ahead despite pandemic 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

W

immera stud principals Robert Harding and Warren McRae remain confident in the long-term viability of the merino industry despite a tough season brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Harding, who owns Glendonald Merino Stud at Nhill, and Mr McRae, Oakbank Merino and Poll Merino Stud at Gre Gre North near St Arnaud, had plans for a stellar show season following a strong start at Balmoral on February 29.

Both studs claimed a swag of awards at the Balmoral Sheep and Wool Show, with Glendonald’s grand champion merino ram winning supreme sheep of the show.

Oakbank’s best ram was reserve grand champion and the stud also had the grand champion ewe.

Mr Harding said his ram was likely among the best in Australia and he was disappointed the show circuit was cancelled due to government restrictions.

“I’ve been showing sheep for 40 years and he is definitely one of the better ones – I could say he’s the best ram I’ve ever had,” he said.

“He weighs 175 kilograms, stands over 11 hands high and tested 19.2 micron.

“It’s a shame shows can’t go ahead

BEST IN SHOW: Nhill’s Glendonald Merino Stud principal Robert Harding with his prize ram, which was named supreme sheep of the Balmoral Sheep and Wool Show in January. Mr Harding had grand plans for his show sheep before the coronavirus pandemic hit.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER this year. I enjoy showing sheep – I’ve shown sheep in every state in Australia and there wouldn’t be too many studs that could say that.

“I’ve won broad ribbons in every state and supreme ribbons in four states.

“Hopefully we will be able to do it again next year.”

Mr Harding said he had already selected and shorn sheep for next year’s competitions, should they go ahead.

He said major industry events, in-

cluding annual Bendigo, Hamilton and Glenelg shows, created a great opportunity for producers to ‘benchmark’ their products.

Mr Harding sells about 200 rams a year, at multi-vendor sales or by private selection. This year, he has participated in several Helmsman-style online sales run by livestock auction platform AuctionPlus.

“The online sales have gone really well, which is a credit to the stud breeders association and other smaller

organisations that have allowed these sales to go ahead,” he said.

“The feedback I’ve got from purchasers has been really good and the averages have been pretty close.”

Mr Harding said clients were happy to buy online provided they had an opportunity to inspect the merchandise in person.

“Merino rams are a bit different – you’ve really got to see them and feel them,” he said.

Mr McRae is hoping to attract regular and prospective buyers to his on-property ram sale on October 6.

He said he was pleased with the depth and quality of his stud’s offerings this year.

“We had the best ram sale we have ever had last year, averaging $2875, and hopefully this year’s goes well too,” he said.

“We’ve got young rams that were to be offered at Bendigo, Hamilton and Dubbo.

“The paddock-run rams are coming along very well and we’ll be offering more rams in the sale this year.”

Mr McRae said there would be several changes to proceedings this year to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.

“We aren’t able to have a field day this year,” he said.

“We usually have one about 10 days before, but if anyone gets sick then we would have to push the sale back.

“Instead, we’ll start at 9am so people

can inspect the rams on the day. We encourage people to get there earlier than usual.”

Mr McRae said like Mr Harding, he enjoyed seeing how his sheep measured up against the best of the best.

He said he hoped even if COVID-19 restrictions remained in 2021, industry leaders could determine a way to allow competitions to go ahead.

Mr McRae said although the wool market was not going well, the merino industry was a ‘long-term investment’.

“You don’t go and buy a new tractor and then sell it the next year because of a bad season,” he said.

“When people start shopping and buying wool products again, hopefully they will go berserk.”

Mr Harding said unlike meat or grain, wool was a ‘discretionary product’ that needed to be marketed.

He said industry leaders were doing a good job, although he would like to see more exploration of blending wool with other biodegradable products such as hemp, cotton and bamboo to strengthen demand.

“There’s not much we can do at the moment but down the track, when the virus is gone, the demand for highclass clothing will rise, especially for natural fibres and biodegradable products,” he said.

“The merino industry fits pretty well into that.”

A passion to build on research 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

He said aerial phenotyping had replaced time-consuming manual techniques, building on accuracy and efficiency in field research.

“We are developing this in house now – no one has done this in Australia,” he said.

“This technology can estimate the biomass of the crops, crop-health, growth and disease so farmers can apply fungicide, herbicide or fertiliser timely. The sensors can estimate the issues in the crop much earlier on – before the human eye can.”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

o say Horsham’s Dr Surya Kant is passionate about agricultural research is an understatement.

The head researcher at Plant Phenomics Victoria, at Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park, is being nominated for a Prime Super Agricultural Innovation Award.

The nomination recognises Dr Kant for his research that is changing the face of Australian agriculture.

Dr Kant works with 10 researchers who are looking to develop certain genotype or germplasm crop species such as wheat, lentils, canola and field peas that are best suited for a range of growing conditions.

His team has developed several high-throughput phenotyping platforms that have gained domestic and international recognition.

“We conduct different sets of experiments in glass houses and under field conditions under various scenarios, nutrient regimes and soil and drought tolerance levels,” Dr Kant said.

“In doing that we use advanced sensors, cameras or digital equipment to automate the observations, height or any physical feature of the plant, weight, yield and disease monitoring traditionally done through manual observation.”

Dr Kant said his research was driv-

Well travelled

LEADER: Horsham’s Plant Phenomics Victoria head researcher Dr Surya Kant is being nominated for his work that is improving outcomes for Australian farmers.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER ing faster production of new graincrop varieties to benefit Victorian and Australian farmers.

“Having this advance genotypic information combined with a digital data set called phenotyping has really sped up the building process,” he said.

“Instead of 10 or 12 years we can produce new varieties in five or six years, which is huge when we’re

talking about output – farmers will have access to the better varieties and faster.”

Dr Kant said his team’s research also involved trialling mounting sensors, cameras, thermal, LiDAR, multispectral and hyperspectral technology on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, UAVs to digitise and speed up crop monitoring methods.

Dr Kant arrived in the Wimmera nine years ago after working internationally for 12 years in agricultural research in Canada, Israel and India.

He said he saw a major opportunity in Australia to carry out research that would allow farmers to grow their crops under a range of challenging conditions, such as drought.

“Agriculture land is in shortage in most countries, but in countries such as Australia we have ample land,” he said.

“A lot is not used because there is not enough water, or rain or other strains like salinity or sub-soil constraint. There is potential to increase agriculture land in Australia – giving farmers better varieties that can be suited for many different conditions and providing better diagnostic sys-

tems so they can efficiently do precision agriculture. That is an aim I’m working towards.”

Dr Kant said when he and his family moved to Horsham in 2011, it was more than just a job that attracted him to the region.

“I came in November 2010 for an interview. I was quite fascinated with the infrastructure, but also fascinated by the fact that Horsham seemed a nice country town and a good place to raise your family,” he said.

“I was really touched when I came and noticed all the local people who always give you a good smile and a welcome feeling.”

Dr Kant is also vice-president of the cultural diversity association while his wife Pragya Kant was a founding member of Oasis Wimmera, an organisation that helps migrants to integrate into the community.

“We knew the challenges you face when adapting to a new culture and country. We wanted to support new immigrants and help them adjust to the local community and adopt that new culture and be connected,” Dr Kant said.

“We find Horsham is a great place and we have time to do volunteer activities as well.

“We are happy with what we have done for our family and giving back to society and wider community.”

griculture workers across the Wimmera who rely on crossing Australian borders for work are calling on state leaders to reassess travel permit conditions.

Victorian farming leaders have stressed tighter New South Wales and South Australian restrictions introduced this month have posed significant animal welfare and food supply chain risks.

Horsham contract harvester Chris Bartlett, who works alongside brother Dale, is concerned a new cross-border entry condition into New South Wales is likely to be a major hurdle in carrying out their work.

The brothers are hoping to make the most of a forecasted good harvest in the northern states after years of drought hindered their work opportunities.

But Mr Bartlett said border changes would likely present a challenge.

“The state governments really need to revisit this border pass policy – most of us need to go further than 100 kilometres, they don’t know how this will impact us,” Mr Bartlett said.

“This is the first time we’ve had trouble getting into New South Wales and our first time we’re going up to Queensland – but we think it might be difficult to get up there.

“The past two seasons farmers up

there have been in drought. We had no work, so it’s impacted on our business, but this year it’s been a really good year up top.”

Last week, NSW authorities changed permit conditions to give Victorian farmers and ‘critical agriculture workers’ conditional entry into the state for work that is within 100km of the border.

Eligible farmers must comply with conditions including self-isolating when not at work and no travelling more than 100km into Victoria in the past 14 days.

Added fear

Mr Bartlett said forecasts of a wet spring were adding to farmers’ fears of header shortages across southern Queensland and northern New South Wales and the ability to get their crops off in a timely manner.

“There’s certain clients we work for who purely rely on contractors,” he said.

“There will be less contract harvesters up there and there will be a lot of crop needing to be taken off – you can lose 20 percent if it’s not done in a timely manner.”

Mr Bartlett said the state governments must work together to help famers and agricultural workers carry out their work and keep the supply chain open.

“If you have interruption in the food

with each other.” Farmers and leaders are equally concerned with the tighter restrictions imposed on South Australia, which has been labelled ‘unworkable’ for primary producers.

Premier Daniel Andrews took border community concerns to the national

cabinet on Friday as South Australia shut almost all Victorians out of the state, causing outrage from farmers, business owners, families and workers.

Horsham’s Andrew Lamont, contract harvester and part-owner of Hoffmann Contracting, is planning to follow the harvest season down from northern New South Wales and finish in South Australia.

Mr Lamont said he was hoping authorities would convene with more viable border entry conditions before the harvest season started in October.

“Border permit conditions will likely change in that time, so we’re confident it will be okay. But there is a fair bit of doubt about what will happen,” he said.

Mr Lamont, like the Bartlett brothers, is looking to take advantage of improved cropping conditions up north.

He said his business was able to transport harvesters to Moree in New South Wales under transport and logistics travel conditions.

But he said the current border restrictions were cause for concern.

“They haven’t had a good harvest for a couple years, so we’ve had some pretty worried customers,” he said.

“We’re making sure we can get machines up there – now we’ve got a few up there, it’s washed away a bit of the stress.”

he State Government is urging farmers affected by drought and dry seasonal conditions to find out if they are eligible for any government support to build resilience for future seasons.

NEW

Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes encouraged farmers to apply for help through three grant programs before they closed on Friday.

The State Government has provided grant support for drought-affected farmers under programs since October. These include: • The On-Farm Drought Resilience Grant, providing up to $5000 for farm business planning activities and an additional $5000 for drought infrastructure investments.

This can include new eligible technologies to improve mobile phone connectivity and items such as soil-moisture probes.

• The Farm Machinery Improvement Grant, offering up to $10,000 to businesses in the Millewa region to maintain essential on-farm machinery and equipment for the 2020 season; and • Household Financial Relief, a $3000 payment to help farming families, farm workers and contractors with household expenses.

Ms Symes said farmers should call Rural

Financial Counselling Service on 1300 045 747 to discuss support available and for help with applications.

She said along with these grants, the State Government continued to offer information and advice to help with on-farm decision-making through webinars and one-to-one discussions on seasonal updates, animal health, pasture management and business planning.

Ms Symes said the government was working with farmers to develop innovative ways to deal with these conditions in the long term.

She said more information about drought and dry seasonal conditions support and advice was available online at agriculture. vic.gov.au/dryseasons or by calling 136 186.

“This support will help farmers develop innovative, resilient businesses capable of dealing with more frequent and severe dry conditions in years to come,” Ms Symes said.

“We know there is continued financial pressure on farmers dealing with the impact of drought and dry conditions, and other challenges of recent years.

“I encourage farmers not to rule themselves out and to contact Agriculture Victoria to see if there’s help available.”

Industry-led WeedSmart program has provided insight into how wheat and canola crops offer growers practical options to improve crop competition against weeds, particularly grasses, and vastly reduce weed seed set.

It has detailed how University of Adelaide researchers, led by Dr Chris Preston and with Grains Research Development Corporation investment, took part in an extensive study to identify the agronomic factors that promoted strong early crop growth.

They found that simple strategies of growing hybrid canola and sowing wheat early could

couple with pre-emergent herbicides to achieve an effective double-knock.

The result is more yield, less weed seed produced and less selection pressure on the herbicides.

Dr Preston said a canola trial involved a range of pre-emergent herbicides and compared open pollinated and hybrid canola.

“The bottom line of our trial is that if you grow a hybrid canola with pre-emergent herbicides and do nothing else different, you’re going to reduce your grass weed seed set by 50 percent,” he said.

Having observed that later planted wheat often hosted more

weeds, the Adelaide University team looked at the effect of planting wheat as early as possible.

“In this trial we found that even in weedy paddocks you can put the wheat in early with a robust pre-emergent herbicide package, and the result is more wheat yield and less ryegrass seed at the end of the season,” Dr Preston said.

“If you sow the right variety early and apply the right pre-emergent herbicide package, again you can halve your grass weed numbers, just from competition in the middle part of the season and you don’t have to change anything else.”

Runners keen to forge ahead

BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera farmers are keen to contribute to a major hay run that delivers vital fodder to farmers in drought-stricken areas across Australia despite uncertainty surrounding border closures.

Earlier this year a convoy of up to 40 trucks left the Wimmera to deliver more than 7000 hay bales to farmers at Armidale in northern New South Wales.

Efforts were a part of Burrumbuttock Hay Runners’ annual Australia Day appeal to help farmers who were facing hardship due to severe drought Victoria’s involvement in the 2021 event remains in question due to hard border closures in light of COVID-19.

Bungalally farmer Sam McGennisken, who helped lead the Wimmera contingent on the January run, is still keen to contribute to the cause.

“It’s going to be very hard with what happens with COVID-19 and border restrictions – that will be our biggest headache,” he said.

“There are a lot of farmers up north who are older and don’t want people from hotspots in their areas, which is totally understandable.”

The Wimmera farmer hopes authorities can give consideration to the Victorian hay-runners.

“There would have to be some way of doing it. It’s not as though you’re going on a holiday – you’re running feed to

animals. It’s a part of primary production. There has got to be some way to make it work,” he said.

Organiser and founder Brendan Farrell is keeping participants updated through his social media account.

He said the event was still likely to go ahead next year.

“We’ve been very quiet, but we’re still trying to raise money where we can,” Mr Farrell said.

“We will still do hay runs, but we will just have to tighten up the belt buckle a bit and try to work with the funds we have.”

A destination for the 2021 hay run is yet to be decided.

Mr McGennisken said the run would likely go to northern New South Wales

or Queensland. “It’s all in the pipeline at the moment. The decision doesn’t get made until about a month before Australia Day,” he said.

Mr McGennisken first got involved in the hay run more than three years ago when he saw the event made national headlines.

He said it was a ‘heart-warming’ experience being able to give to farmers in need.

“People are in tears of joy to see the amount of people involved giving them a hand, it’s a massive thing to be a part of,” he said.

“You get a great feeling. You meet people you’re never going to forget and you’re going to have a connection with them for the rest of your life.”

Mr McGennisken encouraged people to donate to the cause.

“I know with COVID-19 things are tough, but if people can donate, anything is better than nothing,” he said.

“Donations go to the trucks for fuel to make the event go ahead, that is our biggest cost, to get trucks up there.

“We pay up to $1500 to $2000 in fuel for each truck and we’ve got 100 trucks to run.

“A lot of people around here would be happy to see this event go ahead again.”

Donations to the Rotary Club of Sydney, which handles donations on behalf of the hay runners, can be made online at www.paypal.me/BHRHay runners.

Data shows value of rail 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Victorian Farmers Federation Grains Group president Ashley Fraser believes data showing heavy use of the reinstated Rainbow-Dimboola rail line proves the case for further investment in the Murray Basin Rail Project.

He said details demonstrated the high demand for rail freight from the Wimmera-Mallee grains industry.

“We know the demand is there, industry knows the demand is there, and here is the government’s data demonstrating the demand is there. All that is required is a willingness to get on with the job,” Mr Fraser said.

“If the Victorian government builds it, absolutely, the trains will come.”

Mr Fraser said the State Government recognised the need to invest in rail freight with Victorian freight volumes expected to triple by 2051.

He said this would put even more pressure on regional Victoria’s ‘crumbling’ road network.

“The government should heed their own message in this case – improvements to Victoria’s regional rail freight network will take trucks off roads resulting in lower freight costs and better road maintenance and safety outcomes,” Mr Fraser said.

Need for a younger workforce 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera farmer joining a cohort of young Victorians to guide the future of the state’s agriculture sector wants to encourage more young people to work in the industry.

Nuffield Scholar and farmer James Hawkins, based near Edenhope, is one of the newest members of Victoria’s Young Farmers Advisory Council.

Mr Hawkins took over from Nhill’s Jessica Pilgrim, who served a twoyear term on the council.

The young Wimmera pork, wool and lamb producer will advise the State Government on issues that affect farmers and young people working in the industry.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr Hawkins has been working with cross-border community members near the South Australian border to direct concerns to State Government.

Mr Hawkins said a key reason he nominated himself to the council was to highlight a growing need for young people to support the agriculture industry.

“I was recommended by a friend and she pointed me in the direction of the application process,” he said.

“Being a passionate young farmer,

I’ve always had a desire to help the industry attract more young people to agriculture.”

Mr Hawkins said he believed the future sustainability of the sector would be reliant on a younger workforce.

“Young farmers or young farming kids are going off to do trades or university and move to the regional capitals, or even to the state capitals, and they don’t come back,” he said.

“I really have concerns about sustainability in this industry by losing these potential future farmers.”

Fourth generation

The fourth generation farmer is also a young entrepreneur and has taken many opportunities the industry has to offer.

His agribusiness success started at 18 when he started his own hay-baling business.

Today, Mr Hawkins is the owner and manager of a pig farm that produces more than 12,000 pigs a year at Neuarpurr.

He is also a key organiser and president of Lake Charlegrark Country Music Marathon.

Mr Hawkins said he hoped to provide employment opportunities for young people through his business ventures.

“My passion is in increasing employment in regional and rural areas

and through whatever way possible.

I’ve done that through my business ventures,” he said.

Mr Hawkins encouraged young farmers to take advantage of agriculture work opportunities.

“There’s endless opportunities for any type of personality,” he said.

“There’s really exciting consultancy-type roles where people can be moving around Victoria, the country and the world. There’s really dynamic roles in those situations right across the sector.”

Mr Hawkins said agriculture was recognised as a key contributor to Australia’s economy and that status was likely to strengthen in the future.

“Australian agriculture is something that is a huge part of the Australian economy and will continue to be that way,” he said.

Agriculture minister Jaclyn Symes welcomed nine new council members when they met virtually for the first time last week.

The coronavirus pandemic was the main topic discussed at the meeting, particularly focusing on the impacts on the agricultural workforce and supply chains.

For more information about the council people can visit website vic.gov.au/youngfarmers or email youngfarmer.coordinator@agri culture.vic.gov.au.

hina’s response to Australia supporting an investigation of the outbreak of youknow-what is predictable and ridiculous all at once.

It would be easy to suspect there is more to it than that but I am going for, ‘let’s not overthink this’. China made it abundantly clear that this was on the cards months ago. Australia’s dairy exports are apparently next on the list.

The wine industry organisation, Grape and Wine Australia, is determined to prove China wrong: that wine is not being ‘dumped’ at below the cost of production and that wine production is not subsidised in Australia.

Chief executive Tony Battlegene told Country Today: “We’re going to take this investigation on its face value and we will provide good, honest and accurate information.”

As you would, but I have news for the wine industry. Australia’s barley industry fought the good fight for more than 12 months, giving every minute piece of evidence China demanded in what should have been an open and shut case.

China dithered and delayed and then, months after a decision was due, struck belatedly when tensions peaked and put outrageously high tariffs on our barley.

It claimed Australian barley was subsidised, giving examples of the Murray Darling Basin Plan as a form of government assistance, even though more than half the barley is not grown in the basin, but in Western Australia.

I am guessing that, if the Australian government does not tone down its rhetoric on investigating the source of COVID-19, the worst is yet to come.

Putting it bluntly, the Communist Party leader-

ship is not going to be greatly fussed if the middle classes have to pay a little more for their wine that instead might come from Chile or Spain.

Do not get me wrong, I do not think our government should kowtow to China. Once it does, where does it stop?

A more important question is, should we be as reliant on the China for our exports?

One in three of our agricultural export dollars currently comes from China.

Producers have been scrambling over each other to curry favour with China.

We have not been as exposed to one importer of our agricultural produce since the Menzies era in the 1950s when more than a third of our agricultural production went to the United Kingdom.

I am guessing the European Economic Community – as the European Union was called in its first incarnation – formed in 1957 put the mozz on that.

So, what to do? Methinks actively pursue other markets.

If China doesn’t come to the party, as it isn’t with wool at the moment because it buys 80 percent of our production and calls all the shots, we should seriously look at our exposure to China and decide whether, maybe, other markets might be smaller but less influenced by politics.

Truck tarps

Keen interest in open day Registrations are pouring in for a Longerenong College virtual open day, reflecting broad recognition that agriculture will play a major role in the country’s economic resurgence from the COVID-19 pandemic.

College business development officer Donna Winfield said the September 13 online event had generated significant interest from students and their families.

She said 2021 course applications were also streaming into the college.

“This is very different for us and we would love to be shaking hands with people and personally showing them around the campus. But we’ve had to adopt an online

format because of restrictions,” she said.

“There has been a lot of inquiries. Interest in agronomy courses at the college for people already working in the industry have gone through the roof. School-leaver registrations are flowing in for the virtual open day – triple of what they were this time last year.

“People know they don’t have to get in the car and don’t have to travel to see what we have to offer.

“Circumstances are forcing us to provide new ways for the college to engage with people and more virtual events are something we will certainty consider in the future.

“We’re looking forward to it, however we hope, when restrictions ease, to be able to run face-to-face events later in the year.”

Ms Winfield said all people had to do to be part of the 10am virtual open day was to go to the college website and follow links.

“There will be staff and students talking about their experiences during the open day and we’ll walk people through the campus,” she said.

“What we’re seeing is just how much people are looking to opportunities emerging in the agricultural industry.

“It’s also giving us a clearer picture of the resilience of the industry.”

Group works to protect industry V

ictoria’s peak farming group has had emergency talks to implement steps to protect agriculture and the state’s food-supply chain from the impact of Victoria’s COVID-19 crisis.

Victorian Farmers Federation president and Wimmera farmer David Jochinke said the agricultural industry was one of few permitted to continue.

“The VFF recognises the gravity of this responsibility. We understand the trust that has been placed in our sector and that we are accountable for keeping Victorians fed during this state of disaster,” he said.

“We have been in constant talks with government to advocate for farmers and ensure that decision-makers understand the importance of keeping the food-supply chain open.

“The VFF developed a detailed COVID-19 action plan, which resulted in $410-million in additional Australian and Victorian government expenditure which has enabled the agriculture industry to continue to operate.”

Mr Jochinke said farmers were becoming increasingly concerned about restrictions to their business, labour shortages, freight and logistics problems along with issues around access to inputs.

“We know that continuity of business is emerging as a big concern for farmers, which is why our discussions with government have

focused on four key principles: bipartisan and comprehensive approach to border issues; smoother flow of goods and services intrastate and interstate; strategies to enable the movement of the agricultural workforce; and regulatory change to ensure that agriculture and its supply chain is classified as a critical service,” he said.

“The VFF wrote to our members to reinforce the importance of implementing COVID-19 action plans, which are critical to keeping the agriculture supply chain open. Our clear guidance to farmers is to be extra vigilant. We must implement the best protective measures for our businesses and our workers.”

Mr Jochinke said the agriculture sector had the potential to be a major contributor to economic recovery regionally and at a state level.

“While this will be inconvenient, if we get it right and we do the hard yards, then it will only be for a few weeks and our businesses will continue to operate,” he said.

“Victoria is Australia’s food bowl. We are Australia’s largest producer of food and fibre and the nation’s largest exporter. We all know how important small business is to our economy. I don’t think Victorians realise that agribusiness, with forestry and fishing, is the highest value add, employs the highest number of people and ranks number five by dollar value in Victoria.”

Farmers in crime podcast 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A group of Wimmera farmers feature in a two-episode Crime Stoppers Victoria podcast focusing on rural crime.

Farmers Sam Eagle, Bruce Crafter and Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke are in the second episode of the ‘Rural Crime – Intentions, Prevention and Detection’ podcast.

The podcast highlights the impact of crime on farms across regional Victoria and why farm owners must reassess their attitude towards safety and crime prevention in their communities.

The podcast shares stories from the farmers and discusses a larger role communities could play to help prevent farm crime in their areas.

The first episode features a discussion with a rural criminologist, and University of New England senior lecturer Dr Alistair Harkness.

Crime Stoppers Victoria chief executive Stella Smith said the podcast extended the organisation’s spotlight on rural crime after a ‘Locals Get Vocal’ campaign launch at Wimmera Machinery Field Days in March.

“Rural crime is an issue prevalent across regional Victoria and the targeting of farms by

“The expertise provided by Dr Harkness, David Jochinke, Sam Eagle and Bruce Crafter will provide listeners with information to help protect their properties from criminals and be aware of red flags that might indicate criminal activity at rural properties.

“Crime Stoppers relies on the help of the community for all types of crime and in the case of rural crime, which happens in such remote settings, communi-

ty assistance is integral. People can report any information they know to Crime Stoppers confidentially – they do not need to say who they are, and they can report online or call us on 1800 333 000.”

rowers have a unique opportunity to participate in a new national program striving to push crop-yield boundaries in highyield-potential grain-growing environments.

Grains Research and Development Corporation’s new Hyper Yielding Crops scheme is underway and growers can become involved for their own benefit and that of their peers.

The four-year investment spans five states – Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, New South Wales and Western Australia – and aims to push the economically attainable yield boundaries of wheat, barley and canola.

Hyper Yielding Crops, HYC, involves five research centres of excellence. Attached to each are farm paddock trials and a grower network charged with taking research and development findings from small plot to paddock scale.

Growers can join the networks and host paddock-scale trials on their properties to enable a ‘seeing is believing’ participatory approach to the research.

The concept will identify high-yield-potential cultivars suited to various environments and explore the most appropriate agronomic management tactics, including paddock selection and preparation, canopy management, disease, weed and pest control,

up-scale research to paddock-based trials, providing growers with answers to questions related to their individual farming systems and environments.

“It is really important for people to believe in these yield potentials that we talk about, and then to see that translated into reality in a trial situation at the research centres and, most importantly, on-farm in growers’ paddocks,” he said.

Collaboration

NATIONAL PROGRAM: Hyper Yielding Crops project leader Nick Pool, left, and extension co-ordinator Jon Midwood. and crop nutrition strategies to help grower and adviser decision-making.

Project leader Nick Poole from FAR Australia said HYC built on the success of the Grains Research and Development Corporation’s fouryear Hyper Yielding Cereals Project in Tasmania.

The Tasmanian project demonstrated it was possible to more than double yields in some situations through sowing the right cultivars and effective implementation of appropriately tailored management plans.

Mr Poole and HYC extension co-ordinator Jon Midwood, of TechCrop Services, discuss the initiative in a Grains Research and Develop-

ment Corporation, GRDC, podcast available at grdc.com.au/news-andmedia/audio/podcast/hyper-yielding-crops-initiative.

“This initiative is about trying to improve our productivity, increase our yields and close what we believe is a significant yield gap in some high-yield-potential grain-growing environments,” Mr Poole said.

“We want to not only lift productivity, but also stabilise productivity.

It’s no good having varieties that are boom and bust, performing well one year and then not the next. So, our focus is on improving yields and also stabilising them.”

Mr Midwood said HYC aimed to

The HYC research centres of excellence are being led and managed by FAR Australia in collaboration with Brill Ag, CSIRO, the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development in Western Australia, the South Australian Research and Development Institute and Southern Farming Systems. The five centres are sited in Hagley, Tasmania; Gnarwarre, Victoria; Millicent, South Australia; Wallendbeen, NSW; and Green Range, Western Australia.

Mr Midwood said research centres would provide the focus for detailed examination of cultivars, disease management and nitrogen management.

“The core data generated from those small-plot-scale environments will be taken to growers’ paddocks where project officers in each state will work with the innovative grower networks to set up paddock trials on growers’ properties,” he said.

To underpin the ‘whole community

of interest’ concept, a HYC awards program is being established.

Project leaders are seeking nominations of 10 wheat paddocks a region – 50 in total – to enable growers to benchmark the agronomic performance of their crops compared with a regional standard.

“The HYC awards aren’t about tall poppies or who’s got the best yield,” Mr Poole said.

“This is about trying to build a whole community of interest, not just in what went right but also what can sometimes go wrong. We can learn as a group far more from those situations.

“And while we’re keen to look at the profitability of these crops, it’s the agronomic benchmarking that we see as being key.

“It’s an opportunity for growers to look, compare and discuss those individual levers to achieving full yield potential.”

The HYC focus farm paddock trials, innovative grower network and awards involve TechCrop working with the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation, CeRDI, at Federation University Australia and four farming groups across the country.

Victorian growers, advisers and others wishing to become involved in the HYC program can email Ashley Amourgis at aamourgis@sfs.org.au.

New addition...

Introducing the all-new Genesis GV80 large SUV

G

enesis Motors Australia has released pricing and specification for its all-new flagship GV80 large SUV, which will arrive in showrooms in October priced from $90,600 plus on-road costs.

The four-variant range tops out at $108,600, with three different engine options available – two petrol and one diesel.

The GV80 will wade into battle against the likes of the Leuxs RX as well as European offerings such as the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Jaguar F-Pace, Land Rover Discovery, MercedesBenz GLE, Volkswagen Touareg and Volvo XC90.

First revealed in February, the GV80 helps usher in a new exterior styling direction for Genesis, with split, flat LED headlights, a large mesh grille, large alloy wheels and a similar taillight motif.

Specification is largely identical across the range regardless of engine choice, with only minor spec dif-

ferences separating the variants. Inside, the GV80 is offered in five-seat configuration for the 2.5T or sevenseat guise for all AWD versions, with leather upholstery available in five different colours and four choices of open-pore wood trims.

Other features include ambient interior lighting, 12-way adjustable power front seats with four-way lumbar support, heated and ventilated front seats, remote start, power tailgate, dual-zone climate control with haptic touchscreen, panoramic sunroof and acoustic laminated windshield and front glass.

All grades score a new-generation 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, complemented by a 12-inch head-up display, Apple CarPlay-Android Auto compatibility, augmented reality sat-nav, DAB+ digital radio, wireless smartphone charging and a 1050-watt, 21-speaker Lexicon premium sound system.

Standard safety kit extends to forward collision avoidance assist with

pedestrian and cyclist detection, lanechange assist, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, high-beam assist, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, blind spot monitoring and collision avoidance assist, surround-view monitor and 10 airbags, among other features.

All grades are available with an optional $10,000 luxury package, which brings an expansive range of upgrades including forward attention warning, reverse parking collision avoidance assist, intelligent front lighting, softclose doors, rear privacy glass, Nappa leather upholstery with quilted seat pattern and suede headliner, 18-way adjustable driver’s seat with massage function, heated and ventilated second-row seats with power adjustment for the second and third rows, poweroperated rear sun shades, heated steering wheel, three-zone climate control, road noise cancellation, smart parking assist and a 12.3-inch 3D digital instrument cluster.

The entry-level 2.5T – offered in

both rear and all-wheel drive guises is underpinned by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine developing 224kW-422Nm, mated to an eightspeed automatic transmission like all GV80s. Opting for the AWD configuration adds $5000 to the GV80’s asking price.

Next up is the $103,600 3.0D AWD, employing a new 3.0-litre inline sixcylinder turbo-diesel engine good for 204kW-588Nm, with handling aided by the introduction of an electronic limited-slip differential.

The 3.0D gains a couple of enhancements over the four-pot, including 22-inch alloys and adaptive suspension, which uses a camera to read the road ahead to adjust for bumps and imperfections.

Sitting atop the range is the $108,600 3.5T AWD, which produces 279kW530Nm from its turbocharged 3.5-litre petrol V6.

Cargo capacity for the GV80 sits at 727 litres, which can be expanded to 2144L with the rear seats folded.

Braked towing capacity is pegged at 2722kg.

Aside from the luxury package, the only other available option is metallic paint, which asks $2000.

The GV80 comes with a five-yearunlimited kilometre warranty, with five years of complementary scheduled servicing and roadside assist.

Genesis Motors Australia chief executive Jun Heo said he was excited to introduce the brand’s fist SUV to Australia.

“Having established Genesis in Australia as a maker of high-quality luxury cars, we are delighted now to introduce the brand’s first SUV in the form of the all-new GV80,” he said.

“As well as appreciating the Genesis pillars of desirable design, advanced technology, all-road capability and superior comfort, GV80 customers will be treated to the unprecedented luxury of the Genesis-To-You service, and a convenient all-inclusive ownership experience.”

BT-50 headed to showrooms

M

azda Australia has announced its all-new BT-50 pick-up will arrive in showrooms during October.

Compared with the outgoing model, which shares its DNA with the current Ford Ranger, the new-generation BT-50 is based on Isuzu Ute’s justlaunched D-Max. This means the new Mazda ute will similarly benefit from wide-ranging improvements made to the D-Max, including standard fitment of a comprehensive suite of active safety features such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lanedeparture warning, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

As well as using the same platform as the new D-Max, the BT-50 will be motivated by Isuzu’s heavily reworked 3.0-litre turbo-diesel fourcylinder engine that produces 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque.

This compares to the 147kW-470Nm in the current Ford-sourced 3.2-litre five-cylinder diesel.

Previewing the new BT, Mazda is pointing to its ‘significant improvement in fuel economy’ thanks to the new engine and a noticeably lighter body.

Towing capacity is pegged at the class-standard 3500kg while payload capacity is rated at ‘over 1000kg’.

REDESIGN: Mazda’s new BT-50 is expected in showrooms from October.

The other big talking point surrounding the new BT-50 is its redesigned body and interior, which are unique to Mazda and bring the ute more into line with the rest of the brand’s Australian range.

At the front, the integrated, roundedoff features of the outgoing model are

gone and in their place is a boxy, more chiselled look dominated by the new ‘Kodo’ chrome grille, flanked on either side by a set of narrow headlights in typical Mazda fashion.

At the bottom corners of the expansive front bumper are vertically stacked parking lights reminiscent of

those found on the newly facelifted Toyota HiLux. A subtle parabolic line and virtual line created by the headlight surrounds, wing mirrors and doorhandles are also noted.

At the official global reveal of the BT-50 in June, a Mazda Australia

TOYOTA VALUE ADVANTAGE

spokesperson told GoAuto that Mazda took the reins on ‘all things design’ during development to ensure the new BT-50 had a distinctly Mazda look and feel.

Inside the cabin, Mazda has applied its human-centred design ethos to create a spacious and comfortable interior.

The seats have a generous amount of bolstering for a pick-up, while a 9.0inch touchscreen infotainment system sits centrally in the dashboard, compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring.

A full adjustable steering wheel is also fitted to ensure most drivers can achieve their preferred driving position.

Mazda Australia marketing director Alastair Doak said the team had been careful to inject ‘some of that Mazda premium feel into BT-50’.

“Just because drivers are going offroad and working in a pick-up truck, it doesn’t mean they can’t be comfortable,” he said.

Mazda has sold 6243 examples of the BT-50 to the end of July, which places it well behind the big players such as the Toyota HiLux with 25,295 sales and Ford Ranger, 21,570, but nonetheless stands as important volume for the brand.

Pre-owned Toyota entry point

W

ith the ascension of the new fourth-generation Yaris to the $20,000-plus price bracket, Toyota Motor Company Australia has officially left the sub-$20,000 market with no intentions of looking back, at least in terms of new vehicles.

ENTRY-LEVEL UP: The new Yaris might still be the entry point to Toyota’s new vehicles but the Japanese giant says its Toyota Certified Pre-owned Vehicles program is now the entry point to the brand.

“Over time, that means that more and more people will be buying a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle that is still covered by the original factory warranty,” he said.

“We anticipate certified pre-owned sales to continue growing beyond

percent and the Yaris with 15 percent, while the HiLux and RAV4 – both being previous months’ best-selling vehicles – each occupy five percent.

To be selected under the program, the pre-owned vehicles must be under 10 years old, have fewer than

25,000 a year as these cars offer the choice and quality expected of a Toyota.”

Of Toyota Australia’s current lineup, the Corolla represents up to 48 percent of the pre-owned vehicle sales, ahead of the Camry with 20

LMCT: 7944

To fill this void in the market it had previously dominated, Toyota Motor Company Australia, TMCA, sales and marketing vice-president Sean Hanley said the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles program would be elevated to become the new entry point to the brand.

Describing the program as already being a quiet performer, Mr Hanley said it had this month notched up its 100,000th sale since its launch in 2012, with almost a third of the vehicles priced from under $20,000.

“What we know is that at least one out of every seven people who buy a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle come back and they buy a new car within five years,” he said.

“So this is not only an important entry point to our brand, it’s often the first step in becoming a Toyota customer for life.”

Mr Hanley said three quarters of the vehicles for sale through the program were less than five years old and 41 percent less than three years old.

160,000km on the odometer and have a full-service history before being subjected to a 90-point inspection and CarHistory check.

In order to bridge the gap between the new Yaris – which now has a starting price of $22,130 plus on-road costs – and the certified pre-owned program, Mr Hanley announced a free defensive driving course for anyone under 25 years old who buys a new Yaris or certified pre-owned vehicle between now and the end of November.

“Sadly, we know the under 25s are over-represented in road accidents,” he said.

“We think this move will be appreciated not only by the young people themselves, but also by their parents and we hope it will help build a bond between these customers and Toyota.”

The Yaris’ ascension out of the sub$20,000 price bracket meanwhile – in terms of new cars – paves the way for MG to capitalise on the already rapid growth of its MG3 and gives brands including Suzuki, with its Baleno, and Kia, with its Rio, a chance to increase their segment share.

Toyota has sold 97,729 vehicles across all segments so far this year ending July, down some 6.7 percent on the 104,773 sales it managed during the same period last year.

It is the sole member of the family Myrmecobiidae, one of the four families of Australia’s marsupial carnival order Dasyuromorphia. 2. Edward Teach, more commonly known as Blackbeard. Teach added 26 guns to the ship’s 14, making it one of the most powerful ships in American waters off the West Indies. 3. Victoria and South Australia.

Due to a measuring error, the mark was later determined to be inaccurate by 3.3 kilometres. This led to a long-running dispute about the border. 4. They hunt their prey.

Passed away peacefully on 19-08-2020 at Edenhope surrounded by her family.

For My Wife, Thank you for your endless love, That will help me through each day, And thank you for the memories, That will never fade away.

You’re the women that I loved, and I was proud to be your Husband.

And every day, In some small way, I will celebrate your life.

As long as the memories last, You will stay in my heart.

Your loving husband, Ron Mum, With tears I saw you suffer as I watched you fade away, My heart was almost broken as you fought so hard to stay.

I knew you had to leave me, but you never went alone, for part of me went with you when you left your home.

I shall always treasure your memories.

Till we meet again, Love you Mum, Glenda

Funeral Directors

Dad and I had some great times. I always looked up to him.

When I moved into my own place he was sad to see me go, but always called around to see if I was okay.

He was the kind of guy who always offered advice, but never expected me to take it.

I knew Dad wouldn’t be around forever, and the day I expected to be sad turned out to be a true celebration of his life I’ll cherish forever.

I’m so glad I have someone who cared to organise it.

Christian Devotions

Looking forward

When I was learning to drive a tractor and plough many years ago (well before the days of GPS and Autosteer!) I was told to aim for an object in the distance as a reference point and drive straight towards it. Too much looking back and you will wander off course and make it impossible to keep a straight line. Sure, you need to look back occasionally and make adjustments.

Life is much like this. We learn from the past, but if we dwell on it, we can suffer unnecessary grief, raise old hurts and injustices or, conversely, agonise over why things seem worse now than they were. We can’t change anything that has happened except our attitude towards it! Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali in his contribution to “The Article” last month gave an interesting example of this with the theme of slavery.

Several passages in the Bible support this, including in Paul’s letter to the Philippians (3:13 NIV) “……. but one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead”. Furthermore, through Jesus, our past mistakes and misdeeds are forgiven.

The Bible – His Word - is full of instructions for living our lives as we should: may I suggest the Book of Proverbs is one place to start!

Chief: Reserves vital in 2021 W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera Football League leaders have identified the ‘weekend reserves footballer’ as critical for the game to regain traction in the region next year.

Chief commissioner Trevor Albrecht said encouraging the community footballer to ‘dust off the boots’ would be a primary focus for the league.

He said the average reserves footballer was usually much more than a player and sat at the core of the health and vibrancy of all clubs.

“Much of next year will be about getting everyone back in the habit of playing,” he said.

“We’ve spoken about this a lot and more likely than not it’s going to be the casual weekend player that gets clubs back on track.

“Reserves-grade footballers are at the core of every club. They support the seniors, help the juniors and often take on all sorts of off-field roles.

“They are generally the heartbeat and we want them on board.

“They are the players who play more than 250 games at clubs, most of those games in the reserves.

“They are also the people who might, after experiencing a year without footy, be thinking about calling it quits. But these are the people we don’t want to lose. They are going to be critical for the survival of Wimmera football.”

“We’ve spoken about this a lot and more likely than not it’s going to be the casual weekend player that gets clubs back on track”

– Trevor Albrecht, right

Mr Albrecht said another general message to clubs preparing for next year was to be prepared to be creative in working within protocols to deal with the remnants of COVID-19.

“Things are most likely to need to operate in a different way and everyone needs to be thinking outside the square,” he said.

“It’s been tough going with no footy.

There’s been no income for clubs or for the league, so everything is going to be running a bit threadbare.

“We’re likely to see a different makeup in teams with the demand for travelling paid players to come down.”

Mr Albrecht’s comments came as AFL Wimmera Mallee announced a recommendation to decrease salary caps for the 2021 season.

AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon said Wimmera league’s salary cap would drop from $120,000 to $96,000 and Horsham District league from $104,00 to $80,000, under the recommendations.

He said discussions and feedback in-

volving club leaders had led to reducing Allowable Player Payments by 20 percent.

“Further guidance on player-point allocations and total allowable team points are expected to be available shortly,” he said.

“Given there were no matches played

in season 2020, there is not expected to be any substantial changes to those point allocations already made.

“We trust this decision allows clubs to start planning for season 2021 and AFL Wimmera Mallee will continue to consult all stakeholders as to the direction of the 2022 and 2023 salary caps.”

This Weeks Special DogPro

Pigeon race dominance John Muszkieta continues to dominate Horsham Homing Club pigeon racing in 2020, scoring his fourth win for the season from eight races.

His winner averaged 71.2-kilometres an hour in a race from Pyramid Hill into a fresh 10-kilometre south-southwesterly breeze.

Monday’s event was the first of two races scheduled from Pyramid Hill, 185 airline kilometres to Horsham.

Sixteen members entered 511 pigeons.

Muszkieta strengthened his lead on the club aggregate ahead of Rob Nelson and John Aisbett, who have provided a strong challenge in recent weeks as the club heads to the midway mark in a shortened race program.

Muszkieta’s leading pigeons were clear-cut winners with a 5.45-minute gap to the second-placed leading pigeon raced

by Nelson.

The winning pigeon flew at 71.3kmh, averaging 2.5kmh faster over the flight path.

Results: Pyramid Hill, J. Muszkieta, in a flying time of 2.32.44 hours at 1186.11 metres a minute 1; Rob Nelson, 1143.59 2; John Aisbett, 1137.46, 3.

Vic ride delayed O

BY DEAN LAWSON

ne of the biggest annual community cycling and camping events in Australia has the potential to break participation records when it resumes in the WimmeraMallee next year.

Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said that was the prediction of Bicycle Network officials forced to defer the 2020 Great Vic Bike Ride from the Mallee to the Grampians until next year.

“Nothing changes for us, the event has simply been delayed and it’s going to be one of the great community events to look forward to in 2021,” he said.

“When we get COVID-19 under control there is going to be a significant desire for people to connect with events they’ve been missing.

“A year’s delay for the Great Vic Bike Ride will give the event enormous momentum. It will be massive.”

The Great Vic Bike Ride, which this year was scheduled between November 28 and December 6 from Rainbow to the Grampians, usually involves between 3000 and 4000 people.

Riders and their support crews were due to engage with communities, contractors and event partners along

the route, generating a considerable tourism boom across the region.

But uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 circumstances and restrictions forced Bicycle Network to postpone the event until next year.

Bicycle Network events general manager Rebecca Lane was quick to assure Wimmera-Mallee communities that the ride, which occurs at various locations across the state, would be in the region next year.

She said plans were already underway for the ride to return in 2021 and visit the route planned for this year.

“We promise we’ll be back in November 2021 to ride from the art silos to the Grampians in western Victoria for one of our most unique and visually stunning rides yet,” she said.

“Our thoughts will be with everyone who had this year’s Great Vic in their calendar. If we do the right thing to stop the spread of coronavirus, we will be back next year.”

Riders were scheduled to spend nights at Rainbow, Brim, Horsham, Halls Gap, Dunkeld, Pomonal and Great Western later this year with estimations the event would inject up to $800,000 into regional communities.

Mind-boggling

But the figure might well exceed that if predictions of a record 2021 return come to fruition.

Hindmarsh Shire mayor Rob Gersch said it was ‘very’ pleasing that organisers had simply pushed the event forward instead of looking elsewhere.

“It’s quite mind-boggling when you try to visualise 3000 or 4000 people setting themselves up on Rainbow oval. With all the people and camps, the organisation involving food, toilets, showers and so on – it’s huge,” he said.

“We’re hoping the dust will have settled with COVID-19 by this time next year. A huge amount of work has gone into preparation in the Rainbow community and to know the ride is simply on hold and not going anywhere gives everyone confidence.

“It’s going to be great – not only for our shire but the whole Wimmera and southern Mallee. It’s just great exposure.”

This year is the first since 1985 that the Great Vic Bike Ride will be missing from the state’s events calendar.

“While it might not come as a surprise, we appreciate this news will still be disappointing for many – from our riders to our volunteers, contractors, host towns and partners, but we know it’s the right call,” Ms Lane said.

People can register their interest online at greatvic.com.au to hear when tickets are available for the 2021 event in May.

CAREFUL KARTING: Horsham Kart Racing Club members were back on their Dooen track on Sunday under tight COVID-19 restrictions. Club vice-president Remo Luciani said new restrictions meant only 10 people could be at the track at one time. “It was for drivers only, no mechanics, no pit crews and mask-wearing is compulsory,” he said. “Members have to book to attend a session and if bookings are large, we can split the sessions so more drivers can get to drive.” Kylie Voigt is pictured discussing racing issues with her fiancé Simon Eiloa at the practice day.

Sisters await a return to court on studying and training. I’m hoping to get back in January but it’s not going to be the end of the world if I can’t. Jess, ideally, needs to be back because her season starts in January.”

Jess, who started her accounting course online this week, said although she wanted to compete she was also ‘quite happy’ studying at home.

“The COVID situation over there isn’t ideal, although I’m not too worried really,” she said.

“It is the off-season for us, the tennis season starts in January, so if I went back now I wouldn’t be competing anyway.

“With everything that’s going on, it’s just a waiting game at this stage.”

Jess said while they were home, she and Steffi were lucky to be able to train together.

“It gets a bit boring if you don’t have competition,” she said.

“I’ve been playing tennis and keeping fit, but that’s about it, so I’m glad to have started studying.”

While Jess said she was content, Steffi said she was itching to get back to doing what she loved.

“It’s just a completely different atmosphere over there, you’re surrounded by so many people doing the same thing,” she said.

“I like it a lot more over there. It’s very different to living here.”

H

orsham’s McDonald sisters are waiting to see if they are able to continue pursuing their sporting goals in the United States once collegiate tennis competitions resume in January.

The talented tennis players returned home from Mississippi in March as the coronavirus pandemic took hold.

Jess, 18, joined Steffi, 20, at Blue Mountain College in January.

The elder McDonald had transferred to the Mississippi school in August last year after starting her collegiate journey at Kentucky’s Lindsey Wilson College seven months earlier.

The sisters have already taken up new scholarship opportunities and will attend different schools upon their return to the States – should they be allowed to do so given the current climate.

Steffi has transferred to Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and Jess to Tyler Junior College, Texas.

Steffi said she was eager to return to the States and looked forward to her next challenge, although she had not been anticipating a move.

“They have a new coach. I wasn’t planning on going to Oklahoma but the coach reached out to me last minute and it sort of went from there,” she said.

CHASING GOALS: Talented sisters Jess, left, and Steffi McDonald are eager to return to playing tennis in the United States and have changed schools for the new academic year.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Steffi’s new university is part of the NCAA – National Collegiate Athletic Association, a step up from the NAIA – National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics – circuit.

“I’m in division two but it’s pretty highly ranked,” Steffi said.

“We’re probably looking at about the top 15 players.”

Steffi has started her course, a double major in exercise science and accounting, and is learning remotely for now.

She is currently ineligible to com-

pete but is looking forward to a return to the court once she is allowed.

“Because I’ve transferred twice – you’re only supposed to transfer once – I have to sit out the year and I can’t compete,” she said.

“At the moment I’m mainly focusing

“Think about who you love, then think about them in ICU.” For Sarah, who’s been battling coronavirus for nearly 8 weeks, being separated from her two little boys, has been heartwrenching. On top of coronavirus attacking every one of her body systems, intense pain and acute breathing difficulty, she still has no idea when she will be well enough to see her boys. Sarah’s hope is that by us all doing the right thing, no one else will have to experience the heartache her family has.

Please, play your part and help stop the spread of the virus. If you have symptoms - please get tested. Payments of $450 are available to help you stay home and wait for your test result.
