Rescue flight home

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham resident Minal Gupta used to find stories about international evacuations exciting – until she had to orchestrate her own.

As the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe last month, Ms Gupta found herself stranded in India, 26 weeks pregnant, wondering when – or if – she would see her husband again.

While Ms Gupta felt physically safe, isolating with her family in Raipur, in central India, she was terrified COVID-19 restrictions would force her to remain in lockdown indefinitely.

She booked two commercial flights,

which were both cancelled, but had an opportunity to catch a ‘rescue flight’ out of New Dehli on April 19, organised by a group of expats and aviation experts.

Ms Gupta needed to travel 1250 kilometres from Raipur to Delhi – more than 24 hours by car – but faced several hurdles.

Not only did she need local authorities to issue her a travel pass to cross domestic borders, she needed written assurance her brother and two drivers would be allowed to accompany her and return home safely.

“In India, no-one can move from one place to another place without a permit,” Ms Gupta said.

“You can only go for two reasons – a medical emergency or if you come from another country and are travelling home, one way.

“They would give me a one-way pass, but they wouldn’t allow me to come back. That is okay, except it is not safe for a woman to travel on her own in India, especially for more than 24 hours.

“My mother and father were very stressed and they were not happy for me to travel by myself.

“I was going to go with my brother and two drivers but the local authorities would not give them a written pass to return. I could not go, knowing they could not return home safely.”

Ms Gupta found herself in the midst of a complicated bureaucratic process, seeking permissions and battling proverbial red tape and brick walls.

Ms Gupta said she registered her case on the Ministry of Tourism India website, seeking help to return to Australia.

She was redirected to her state branch, Ministry of Tourism Chhattisgarh, and spoke to a representative, who ensured she was safe and had access to food.

“I just wanted to go back to Australia,” Ms Gupta said.

“I had already missed flights, because I couldn’t get a movement pass, but the Australian High Commission

had announced a flight out of Delhi and I really wanted to be on it.

“The local person said they can’t help me, I have to contact the Ministry of External Affairs of India and they will give me a pass.

“There was a lady, Effat Ara, who helped me a lot. She told me I had to contact the Australian High Commission and they would contact the Ministry of External Affairs in India.

“But the Australian High Commission had a number of calls and they couldn’t help me.

“They said to contact my local member of parliament in Australia to see if they might help.”

Rain generates rural confidence W

BY DEAN LAWSON

idespread rain across the region has boosted confidence in agriculture’s ability to spearhead an eventual socio-economic revitalisation of the region.

Falls at the weekend ranged from about eight to above 33 millimetres, priming much of the Wimmera, southern Mallee and Grampians fringe for an ideal sowing season.

Latest rain represented a seasonal ‘break’ for some or the extension of a statewide break that has allowed farmers to forge ahead with production schedules.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said while the rain fell short of immediately alleviating all financial pressures, its genera-

tion of confidence provided important momentum.

“The rain has been widespread, which means farmers across the region will put their overall programs into full swing and that means the whole region will benefit,” he said.

“When the industry is moving overall it means productivity and jobs.

“The flow-on effect is that our communities benefit overall.

“Agriculture is inherently entwined in regional communities, especially in our area. And in farming there are a lot of smiling faces at the moment.”

Mr Jochinke said while there was still a need for favourable seasonal conditions through winter, latest circumstances would suit both grain crops and pasture for livestock.

“This rain has been fantastic. It has

given us confidence in the whole industry having a good season, especially on the back of the good last one and considering some people are still recovering from previously poor years,” he said.

“For many it is a chance to get ahead.

“There is still a need for a solid overall season to turn potential into income, that will in turn encourage people to invest into the region but we’ve had a great start. The weather forecast is generally good.

“Who would have thought, especially in the environment we are experiencing at the moment, that farming fortunes would change so quickly.”

National value

Mr Jochinke said it was a good feel-

ing knowing agriculture and primary production represented an area with potential to lead a socio-economy rebound.

He said while annual figures consistently showed the national value of primary production, there was perhaps now a greater general understanding of what it meant to national, state and regional health.

“It’s great to be able to do what we do and the hope is that this acknowledgement might be able to generate greater investment in rural and regional areas,” he said.

“We also want to keep doing what we do without too much interference from regulation or other hurdles.

“We are a heavily regulated industry compared with other countries yet produce very high standards in food

quality and integrity through workforce laws and stewardship.

“Prices for a lot of grains are holding up very well and a lot of sheep and red meats are going quite strongly.

“This all relies on trade continuing and we can’t forget that we must keep markets happy and trade borders open.

“This includes trade between Victoria and other Australian states.

“Adaptation to practices and higher levels of hygiene have also kept us open and going.”

Farmers were among many people to closely follow Rainbow Radar data that provided real-time information about the approach, strength, direction and other aspects of the weekend rain band.

For more on agriculture see AgLife, pages 29-38.

Happy to be home From page 1 Ms Gupta and her husband, Prashant Kewlani, called on Member for Mallee Anne Webster for help.

“My husband spoke to her and asked her to call the high commission in Delhi to let them know I needed a movement pass urgently, to make a flight,” Ms Gupta said.

She said although her local authorities in Chhattisgargh were unsupportive, she could not speak highly enough of Dr Webster and Deputy High Commissioner to India Rod Hilton.

Ms Gupta said thanks to their intervention, she was granted a pass at the 11th hour.

“To make my flight home I had to leave at 5am on April 16 and the pass came through at 6pm the night before,” she said.

“Somehow, I got my pass in time, I arrived in Delhi on time and my brother arrived home safely.”

Ms Gupta touched down in Melbourne about 8.30am on April 20.

She said there were more than 400 people on her flight, including about 100 children and infants.

“It wasn’t like any other flight I had ever been on,” she said.

“It was like a big family travelling together. Everyone was offering food to each other and were so helpful.”

Ms Gupta is in self-isolation in a Melbourne hotel and will return to Horsham on Monday.

She said despite some reports, she found the conditions good.

“They are providing all the essen-

tials,” she said. “I was running out of medicine and they got some for me.

“A doctor came the day after I arrived and told me everything was okay with the baby.

“The food is good, too. I’m vegetarian and most people here are Indian, so they are cooking Indian food.

“I don’t have any complaints. I am very happy to be back in Australia.

“After five or six days I get to see my husband again.”

Wimmera home

Ms Gupta and Mr Kewlani moved to Horsham in February 2018, to run their grain trade and export business.

Mr Kewlani is director of Pacific Global Sprouts, while Ms Gupta is company secretary and a chartered accountant. She also teaches yoga.

Ms Gupta last saw her husband at the end of February.

They travelled to India together to attend a global India Pulses and Grains Association conference from February 14 to 16.

“The idea was to attend the conference and then I would spend some time with my family, because I am expecting,” Ms Gupta said.

“Prashant flew back to Australia on February 29 to attend the Wimmera Machinery Field Days and I went to see my family.

“He was supposed to fly back to India in April to pick me up. Obviously that could not happen because of COVID-19.

“Things were pretty normal in India until about March 10, when it started getting worse.

LONG WAIT: Horsham couple Minal Gupta and Prashant Kewlani take a break at the Mumbai airport during their visit to India. Mr Kewlani returned to the Wimmera before coronavirus lockdowns but his wife was not as lucky.

“After that I was stressed and I couldn’t stop thinking about whether I would be able to see my husband again, and where I was going to be able to deliver my baby.

“I was with my parents, so I was safe, but I wanted to see my husband ASAP. “When I used to hear of evacuations from foreign countries on the news, I always thought it sounded so exciting.

“I never thought I would be in this situation myself.

“It was not very exciting for me

because I was pregnant – in fact, it was very stressful.

“I would like to say a special thank you to Dr Anne and Ms Ara and Mr Hilton in India. They really helped me.”

Dr Webster said it was a privilege to help the Horsham couple navigate such a stressful and unknown situation.

“There were a few late night phone calls and emails,” she said.

“Minal was in a difficult situation because she was quite a way away from Delhi, and India, like many

countries, has a whole bucketload of bureaucracy that she had to satisfy.”

Dr Webster said Ms Gupta’s return to Australia was a team effort.

“There are lots of agendas, as you might imagine,” she said.

“Everyone has their particular role to play depending on their position and there is a lot of negotiation and collaboration.

“I was concerned about Minal’s health and welfare, of course.

“I am pleased she is back in Australia safe and sound and I’m sure she can’t wait to get home.”

‘Absolute confidence’ needed

BY DYLAN DE JONG

W

immera healthcare leaders have given mixed reviews about the viability of a Federal Government-backed coronavirus contact-tracing app released on Sunday night.

The COVIDSafe app, modelled from Singapore’s ‘TraceTogether’ app, uses Bluetooth to identify when two people with the app installed are within oneand-a-half metres of each other for more than 15 minutes.

Running on an opt-in system, its uptake will play a large part in helping ease restrictions.

The Federal Government has indicated at least 40 percent of the population would need to download the app for it to be effective.

Uniting Wimmera executive officer Josh Koenig supports the app, but said he believed the Federal Government needed to provide greater transparency about what actually happened to people’s data to allay fears about location tracking.

“On a personal level, I’m supportive of that app – anything that can help us trace and mitigate any potential risk is a positive in my view,” he said.

“People are worried about what the app will actually do.

“I think if there’s more education around what information the app will gather – if the government was to put out an FAQ about the app – that might help get more people onboard.”

Mr Koenig said services such as Google Maps were already tracking people’s locations.

“If you use location services on your phone already, like Google Maps, those services can be traced back to

where you are at any given time anyway,” he said.

“I know people are a little worried about privacy, but if the government for some unbeknown reason wants to trace my boring life, then go for it.”

Mr Koenig said if the app was successful, allowing the ease of State Government lockdown measures, it was important people remained mindful of the risk of transmission.

“People just need to remember if they’re going to get onboard with this process, they need to be as vigilant as they have been thus far,” he said.

“This is merely mitigation for it to stop spreading any further, an app won’t prevent someone from catching it.”

Data to be stored on the app includes the name, phone number, postcode and age range of a person – information required when the app is first downloaded.

Law Council of Australia president Pauline Wright said in a statement privacy issues still existed following the release of the app.

She urged the government to make a firm commitment to introduce legislation on the first sitting day in May to safeguard users’ privacy regarding how long data would be stored and deleted.

Wimmera Primary Care Partnership executive officer Geoff Witmitz said he was unsure the government would receive enough support for the app to be effective.

He compared the tracing app with the government’s My Health Records, an e-health record system launched in 2012, which received little fanfare and uptake when first released.

“It’s going to be a hard push because

POSITIVE: Uniting Wimmera executive officer Josh Koenig believes there needs to be more education around what information the Federal Government’s coronavirus contact-tracing app will gather.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER change is difficult in this environment,” he said.

“We can use the My Health Record as the perfect example, when that was an opt-in system, very few people did.”

Mr Witmitz said the app could serve as a powerful tool in minimising transmission, but people needed ‘absolute confidence’ in government if it were to work.

“The multiplication factor is huge with this virus, so an app does have benefits if it gets its purpose right,” he said.

“But the community would need to have absolute confidence that our politicians have done the work to protect our privacy and it’s going to be used

for its intended purpose and once completed, deleted.”

He said social-distancing measures still served as the most viable tool in minimising the spread of COVID-19, especially as the country approached winter.

“We’re going into virus season. We just need to know that we’re on top of it – we’re just waiting for a vaccine, because then we can be 100 percent sure we’ve got some protection,” he said.

“At this point in time, I think we’re on top of this with the self-isolation.

“That’s simple and people know why we do it. I’m not sure if this app will give us the same feeling of safety.”

Meetings shift online Municipal councils pushing for legislative change to run official meetings electronically amid social-distancing rules have had a win.

The Victorian Parliament has passed the COVID-19 Ominibus – Emergency Measures – Bill 2020, which changes the Local Government Act 2020 to allow councils to run meetings online.

Several Wimmera councils needing to formally discuss and address pressing community issues including annual budget and planning, had joined a Municipal Association of Victoria, MAV, call for the move.

MAV president Cr Coral Ross welcomed the passing of the legislation.

“After more than a month of advocating to and working with the State Government, we welcome this change as a positive, common-sense decision,” she said.

“This change enables councils to meet and make decisions on important issues, including organisational, economic and community resilience and recovery from COVID-19.”

Cr Ross said a disappointment was that the state had taken a prescriptive approach in terms of the form meetings must take.

“The requirement for meetings to be live-streamed on council websites is likely to be problematic for some with internet connectivity,” she said.

“Overall, we welcome this change as a positive step to help councils support their communities and continue to deliver critical services.”

A rare outpouring of solidarity

I

t sometimes takes a terrible tragedy to remind us just how much we rely on and cherish our police officers and what they represent.

The death of four officers on a freeway last week, amid all the upheaval and fears surrounding COVID-19, came as a massive blow to the Victorian community.

Everyday people from across the state joined the police fraternity and families mourning the loss of loved ones in what represented a rare outpouring of solidarity. It also sent shockwaves across Australia.

The community response, albeit in such dreadful circumstances, reflected an important aspect of our society and the freedoms and support our democratic way of life provides.

For a start, it showed high levels of community empathy for individuals involved in the tragedy and others who have the job of trying to manage the fallout.

But it also revealed, deep down, high levels of respect communities have for what police officers in our part of the world, in our state and country, represent.

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson

Some call it ‘the thin blue line’, the barrier between a safe society and dangerous anarchy.

It’s where frontline personnel work to keep the majority safe and secure.

It is in this often complex zone where order and all the complications

of humanity meet head to head. And in the middle of it all, dealing incredibly diverse circumstances, a constant rollercoaster of emotions and at times risking physical and mental injury or worse, are our police officers.

Many of us were shocked when we heard about what happened last week and horrified, disgusted and angry at many of the circumstances coming to light. We were also relieved in hearing other information about this sorry saga.

Through the haze of it all we’ve seen much of society raise a powerful and

moving hand in support of police and recognition of what they do and the role they play.

There was almost an immediate ‘blue’ response across the state as organisations and individuals made efforts to show support by lighting up buildings and landmarks to tying ribbons to trees.

If nothing else, our members in blue can take confidence there is a groundswell of day-to-day people who have their backs.

Bart’s hunting adventures Taskforce to lead rebound Horsham’s Bart Turgoose is hoping to inspire more youth to get involved in his sport.

Making the most of his self-isolation, he is using his social media following to help generate more interest in clay target shooting.

COVID-19 restrictions have meant shooting enthusiasts, like Bart, have had to hang up their rifles.

Finding an alternative outlet for his sport, the 15-year-old started filming and editing a series of comical videos he has uploaded to his Facebook page, called Bart’s Clay Target Adventures.

The three-minute skits he called ‘Rabbit Hunting’ are somewhat of a satire of popular hunting shows.

The first episode he uploaded after Easter gained more than 5000 views through Facebook and Twitter.

“It’s like Russell Coight – I’m having a bit of fun with it and hopefully I can give everyone a bit of a laugh to make people’s days just that little bit better while stuck inside,” Bart said.

He started his Facebook page earlier this year, where he posts a range of educational and entertaining content.

Bart said he hoped his Facebook page could help get more young people interested in the sport.

“We need to have more people carry on with the tradition because it is dying – more and more people are not interested in it,” he said.

“It is the biggest adrenaline rush ever and the people you

meet are amazing. I’ve met some of the most beautiful people through the sport.

“They can teach you so much and they’re willing to give you anything.

“I’ve been given so much stuff by people just because they want juniors in the sport.”

Bart wasted no time in getting his gun license through Sporting Shooters Association of Australia, SSAA, at age 12.

He said a visit to Natimuk and District Field and Game’s shooting range a few years ago sparked his interest in the sport.

“I went out to Natimuk Field and Game and became a member – I just fell in love with it straight way,” he said.

“I’ve been shooting clays competitively for two-and-ahalf years now. I hated football and every game possible known to mankind – I had to find something, and it just happened to be shooting.”

The junior shooter is mentored by Australia’s leading clay shooter, Melton’s Robert Hall.

Through his passion for the sport, he has also met and in-

terviewed some of Australia’s top shooters.

While in self-isolation he has written short biographies about Field and Game Australia board member Glenn Falla and SSAA junior vice-president Marion Barnes.

“I’ve been interviewing shooters who are higher up than me or in major organisations like SSAA,” Bart said.

“I learned how they became a shooter and hopefully juniors in the sport can benefit from what I post about these shooters.”

Now 15, Bart is extremely active in the community.

He volunteers with Horsham Agricultural Society while juggling his part-time job, running his own business and studying year-10 at home through Horsham College.

“I do enjoy doing school from home because you can do it at your own speed and no one’s really pushing you to get it done by a certain time.

You can submit it all by the end of the week,” Bart said.

Bart hopes to upload a part three to his rabbit hunting series.

A new taskforce will work with tourism businesses, associations, peak bodies and governments to lead Grampians tourist region through economic revitalisation.

Grampians Tourism has established a Tourism Crisis Response and Grampians Recovery Taskforce to identify and implement ways to rekindle a tourism economy damaged by COVID-19 restrictions.

The Grampians tourism region, along with tourism generally across the country, has taken a major hit during the virus crisis.

The impact has led to Grampians Tourism Board taking a leading role in ensuring the survival, transformation and recovery of the industry within a ‘regional, state, national and international context’.

Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said business and community recovery would be fundamental in an overall successful regional response.

“The taskforce will make strategic decisions about action relating to economic tourism recovery of the Grampians region in a timely manner

within operational budget constraints of the board,” he said.

“It will bring together tourism leaders to ensure the development and implementation of a united regional response to the COVID-19 crisis.”

The taskforce, which will meet weekly, includes chief executives from Grampians tourist region municipalities as well as board members.

Grampians Tourism Board chairman and former Ararat mayor Paul Hooper will oversee the group, which also includes Tim Harrison, Ararat council; Sunhil Bhalla, Horsham; Liana Thompson, Northern Grampians; and Michael Tudball, Southern Grampians.

Other Grampians board representatives are Mr Sleeman; business manager Serena Eldridge; brand and marketing officer Sarah Myers; and directors Kayla Woods and Kylie Schurmann.

Dr Harrison said tourism was a key sector in the regional economy and it was critically important to have a rebuilding plan.

“Too many jobs and businesses are at stake for us not to act,” he said.

Ararat: Better connectivity a must A

BY DEAN LAWSON

rarat municipal leaders have highlighted a need for greater mobile-telephone and internet connectivity to help Victoria emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said high levels of community connectivity represented essential building blocks of a socio-economic rebound that could heavily involve western Victoria.

He said the need for digital connectivity had become glaringly obvious during social-distancing restrictions and highlighted a need ‘to get the system right’.

“This will become particularly relevant when considering rural industry will most likely be at the vanguard of leading the state out of these trying circumstances,” he said.

“Many aspects of life and community expectations are going to change and it won’t be good enough any longer, for example, to be having a telephone signal regularly dropping in and out after you leave an urban area.

“The same applies for small towns unable to rely on using internet services for day-to-day business.

“Agriculture and its support service centres, perhaps with tourism and other industry coming in later, are in

an encouraging position to seriously throw a lifeline to the state in many ways.

“Our communities must be in a position to exploit this option, not only for us, for the state overall.”

Dr Harrison said recent concerns

from Pomonal traders and many others attempting to take advantage of modern telecommunication systems, even before the coronavirus pandemic, have highlighted this issue.

“It is critical we get the settings right to make everything work as seamlessly as possible,” he said.

“It’s not good enough to have a twospeed digital economy – where there is one for urban Australia and another one for the bush.”

Dr Harrison said people in regional areas had probably been too accepting of hit-and-miss modern telecommunications.

“But, times clearly have changed and we simply can’t accept second

Playgroup continues online Horsham Playgroup has taken its supported sessions online in response to COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing.

A new Horsham Rural City Council Virtual Playground has started and offers families an opportunity to connect with others safely in an online environment.

People can join sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10.30am by tuning into a HRCC Playgroups Facebook page.

Community wellbeing director Kevin O’Brien said he expected many families to join the sessions.

“It is exciting the council is able to offer a

virtual playgroup, providing an opportunity for families to connect online,” he said.

“This is so important in these times where we all need to be at home.

“This program will help overcome isolation and provide families with the support they need.”

The sessions are free of charge and offer home play and learning opportunities including stories, activities and songs. The council has distributed support packs to participating families.

“How confident are we that we can guarantee this can always work with our inconsistent digital arrangements?”

Dr Harrison said the council met regularly with telecommunication representatives and would be pressing the point further in ongoing discussions.

Yarriambiack Library Services Planning continues at Yarriambiack Shire Council for their new Library Service, due to commence 1st July 2020. Council is hoping to make the transition from the existing library service to Yarriambiack Libraries as smooth as possible for their existing library users.

Meals on Wheels Yarriambiack Shire Council has made the decision to reduce the fee for Meals on Wheels due the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of the 1st of April 2020 until furtner notice the new price for Meals on Wheels will be $4.50 instead of $9.00.

Yarriambiack Libraries will retain many of the existing services where possible including membership with Libraries Victoria, formerly Swift Library Consortium. Libraries Victoria will continue the consortium approach to shared services within the Victorian public libraries. Libraries Victoria is committed to continuing this approach, developing and expanding the range of services available to all libraries.

If you would like to start meals on wheels or are needing to increase the amount of meals you are receiving please contact Alannah to arrange, we can also offer some frozen meals to help with evening or weekend meals.

Unaccompanied Shopping We are offering unaccompanied shopping assistance to help consumers get groceries and run errans, we understand it is a difficult time and that those over 70 are not recommended to leave their homes. If you would like this service please contact myself.

Yarriambiack Libraries will also retain many of the e-resources available to library users as well as introduce some new electronic resources.

Horsham police grateful for show of support, generosity Horsham police have thanked the Wimmera community for an outpouring of support and generosity following a horror couple of weeks for members.

Wimmera police were already mourning the loss of one of their own, Horsham policeman Heath Martin – who was found dead in the Grampians a fortnight ago – when four officers were killed in an accident in Kew. Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, Constable Glen Humphris, Senior Constable Kevin King and Constable Josh Prestney died after being hit by a truck on the Eastern Freeway late Wednesday afternoon.

It was the biggest loss of officer lives in a single event in Victoria Police history.

Officers Taylor and Humphris pulled over a Porsche that was allegedly travelling at 140kmh along the freeway.

Officers King and Prestney, who were stationed at Nunawading Highway Patrol, were called to help impound the sports car after the driver allegedly returned a positive

drug test. Shortly after they arrived, a refrigerated semi-trailer drove into the emergency lane, killing all four officers.

The truck driver has been charged with four counts of culpable driving.

Horsham Senior Constable Anthony Zivkovic said tributes had flowed to the station.

“We have been receiving flowers throughout the past week, especially since Wednesday,” he said.

“I was working in the watch house on Friday, doing the 7am to 3pm shift in the station and there have been a lot of people bringing flowers in or leaving them at our flag pole, which is at half mast.

“There have also been donations of money, which have been sent straight to Victoria Police Legacy, which supports families of members lost on duty, or members who have died.”

Sen Const Zivkovic said at certain times throughout the year, the community showed its support with flowers, chocolates and cards.

“During the main times, like

Christmas, we get well-wishes,” he said.

“At the moment it is very timely – every police member in Victoria and across Australia is feeling the consequences of such a tragedy. We are all feeling a little bit empty at the moment.

“On behalf of Horsham police, I just wanted to say the show of support we have received from our community is really appreciated and we wanted to let everyone know we are grateful.”

ew Wimmera police Superintendent Ian Milner has set reducing highimpact crime and road trauma and fostering strong relationships with the community as priorities.

Mr Milner, 53, moving to the region from Melbourne with his wife Jodie, has a diverse background in 32 years with Victoria Police, including the past five as a Detective Inspector in Counter Terrorism.

He has a broad mix of police investigative and general experience in a variety of locations.

Mr Milner agreed a mix of urban and rural circumstances always represented a challenge for police services, but having cognisant or enhanced knowledge and awareness of a service region was essential.

“It is important police services are equitable across the whole division, not one set of direction suits all circumstances,” he said.

“I encourage my people to get out and meet with people to ensure they are engaging and picking up information so we are better informed to provide an appropriate policing response across the division.”

Mr Milner stressed a strong relationship between police and the community was critically important.

“We want people to report to us and tell us what they think we should know about so we can follow it and then report feedback. I encourage people to give us a call,” he said.

Mr Milner agreed a powerful relationship

Planning for Vic bike ride continues

A

cycling tour through the Grampians planned for November and December looms as a potential launching pad for a return to tourism activities across the region.

Bicycle Network is continuing preparations for the Great Vic Bike Ride, which involves a route from the southern Mallee to and around the Grampians.

The network is constantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation and is determined to push ahead with the event if authorities give the green light later in the year.

Organisers expect up to 3000 riders plus volunteers and staff members would take part in the ride, representing financial benefits for the regional centres it visits.

Riders traditionally spend an average of $30 a day, injecting more than $800,000 into regional communities.

Bicycle Victoria events general manager Rebecca Lane said her organisation was committed to running the event to give something to communities and Australians who had experienced a tough start to 2020.

“It’s been a tricky start to 2020, but we really want to help people have a nice end of the year, whether that’s riding the Great Vic or benefiting from the event coming to town,” she said.

“The coronavirus and summer bushfires have given Victoria and regional communities a financial hit. We’re hopeful that virus restrictions will be lifted in time and we can run an event to help people recover.”

The Great Vic Bike Ride is a rolling cycling and camping holiday where participants ride from town to town over 10 days, set up a campsite at the end of each riding day and explore a new area.

There are several ways communities can be involved in the event, from setting up stalls at campsites, to businesses making special offers available to riders and volunteers.

“We often see local sporting clubs and community groups selling bacon and egg rolls for riders, while cafes, hotels, galleries and boutiques open themselves up during the event,” Ms Lane said.

Meetings

The 2020 Great Vic Bike Ride starts in Rainbow on November 28 then visits Brim, Horsham, Halls Gap, Dunkeld and Pomonal before finishing in Great Western on December 6.

To help communities plan and prepare for the event, Bicycle Network is planning public meetings in July where people can get information about when and where the event will be visiting and what they can offer.

Great Victorian Bike Ride public meetings are usually faceto-face in towns and centres the event visits.

Bicycle Network hopes to do this in 2020, but might have to make other plans depending on coronavirus restrictions.

Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said he was delighted to work with the team at Bicycle Network and four local government partners to welcome the ride back to the region.

“In a year where virtually noone has been unaffected by either the impacts of COVID-19 or the summer bushfire crisis, we anticipate the Great Victorian Bike Ride will be a very welcome re-launch of the Grampians to the domestic travelling audience,” he said.

“We are looking forward to seeing visitors returning to our towns and enjoying everything that the Grampians, Wimmera and southern Mallee have to offer.

“Events such as this are an opportunity to showcase what we have to offer visitors.

“They result in a significant economic benefit to local businesses right across the region and expose our unique towns and attractions to a diverse audience who are likely to return for a longer stay at a later date.”

UP TO DATE: Ararat Fire Brigade captain Rob Starick, left, and third lieutenant Liam Tumney show off a new $2.25-million Ararat Fire Station. The Country Fire Authority Region-16 station replaces the brigade’s former Tuson Street building, which had become outdated for modern fire-fighting operations. The new station has a four-bay drive-through motor room and other facilities such as an official command area, large meeting room, kitchen and pergola area. The brigade is planning an official opening later in the year.

Federation hub for jobseekers A Wimmera university is hoping to use its career support centre as a hub to upskill and redirect jobseekers into industries experiencing shortages of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Federation University Australia is encouraging affected workers to visit centres at Federation TAFE’s Horsham and Ballarat campuses for career and recruitment support.

Jobs and Skills Centre Training and Employment advisor Brad Smith said the university was trying to direct people into industries with shortages of workers.

“We know a lot of people have lost work as a result of the pandemic and we can help them identify existing skills that can be transferred to other industries where there is a demand for workers, such as healthcare and IT,” he said.

“We provide free expert advice and sup-

port to all jobseekers, whether that’s help choosing a TAFE or training course to help them into the career they want, or providing help finding and applying for jobs, apprenticeships, traineeships or accessing financial support.”

Centre staff also work closely with industries to determine their workforce needs, and offer businesses recruitment and skills analysis services.

“You don’t have to be a student at a Federation TAFE or university to use a Skills and Jobs Centre,” Mr Smith said.

“We assist prospective and current students, apprentices and trainees, people who are unemployed or retrenched, people returning to work, new immigrants or refugees and people looking to change their career.”

People can call 5327 6540 or email skills andjobs@federation.edu.au for details.

immera teachers believe schools rising to the challenge of online learning will provide great benefits for students beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

OPEN TO CHANGE: Warracknabeal Primary School teacher Jane Salter is using remote learning to build on students’ ‘digital literacy’ skills.

We invite you to join the DMSC community in 2021!

Dimboola Memorial Secondary College offers a wide range of subjects and extra curricular activities to help your child reach their full potential.

Excellence

Honesty

Care

Following the State Government’s decision to close schools in term two, teachers had to quickly familiarise themselves with online resources such as Google Classroom and Webex to be able to provide lessons remotely.

Both students and teachers have had to re-establish everything they know about traditional face-to-face education, and with great determination, have risen to the challenge.

Warracknabeal Primary School teacher Jane Salter, who teachers years three to six, is teaching from home.

She said she was using online delivery as an opportunity to build on students’ ‘digital literacy’.

“If you focus on this as an opportunity to build digital literacy skills rather than feeling like it’s going to retract from other content areas, then we will have a lot of success,” she said.

Ms Salter said students were learning valuable new skills through the process.

“In a secondary college, students might already be used to the online platform, whereas our children are learning the platforms as well as the content,” she said.

“It has been quite exciting to see students develop these skills already, like how to send an email to ask questions and how to access and edit online documents – they are learning that remotely.”

Ms Salter said she was also gaining new skills moving to online teaching.

“The change to online learning has had some challenges for me because I wasn’t familiar with some of the tools that I’ve had to use, but I’ve actually seen it as a really good opportunity to

extend my learning and access and use different platforms that I wouldn’t have used otherwise,” she said.

Horsham College teacher Daniel Garner is teaching his senior legal studies and humanities classes remotely.

Mr Garner said he was also used to more traditional teaching methods and had to get creative in developing classes suitable for online delivery.

“My teaching style relies on oral instructions and explanations,” he said.

“I’ve had to think more about how I explain things through a written format because I don’t have the face-to-face time.

“You can’t have those 30-second to one minute conversations in class to address a misconception a student might have.

“It’s those little conversations in class when you really get to see the benefits of one-on-one helping someone – you see that lightbulb moment where they understand something through your help.”

Mr Garner said moving forward he believed online delivery provided a building block for schools to be able to reinforce stronger learning outcomes for students.

“It’s pretty well accepted that one of the best ways to learn is having multiple exposures to content, and particularly multiple exposures through different mediums,” he said.

“This could actually be really good once we do go back to traditional schooling as there’s going to be so much supplementary learning content out there.

“Potentially, we can spend less time in class teaching and more time doing the chalk and talk.

“There’ll be more time in class doing practical work and leading students to answer questions properly, because they’ve potentially already had access to a video that’s enabled them to get the initial grasp of the concept.”

• Small class sizes • Free after school SMART sessions – offering extra tuition and support

teaching possibilities Ararat’s Marian College head of science Trevor Hunt is now teaching out of his breakfast bar at home.

He said this was the first time teachers at his school were making use of platforms such as Zoom and other online resources on this scale.

Mr Hunt said his maths and science students were extremely helpful in making the transition to online learning as smooth as possible.

“The students in my classes have been amazing,” he said.

“They are trying to help me make this period in our partnership work – that means helping me with new software, but it also means they are all attending.

“This fortnight 100 percent were in attendance or accounted for – that is not always the case for normal schooling when absences are not always explained.”

Mr Hunt said the biggest issue he had encountered was responsiveness through communicating with students.

“The biggest frustration for students is the lack of an instantaneous response by me to a problem they have encountered,” he said.

“There is a delay in this environment and my email traffic is way up.

“I miss the students’ hopes, curiosity, energy and courage.

“I am seeing all of that in a different format, but in class it is so much better.

School is a lot more than books.”

Stawell Secondary College principal and teacher Carlos Lopez said teachers and students at his school were working extremely hard to adapt to the ‘new normal’.

“By the end of the day students’ cognitive load is really high,” he said.

“The high level of concentration needed over a screen and not having those breaks

JOINT VENTURE: Ararat Marian College maths and science teacher Trevor Hunt is learning new technology skills from his students. of interaction in between can be quite demanding.”

He said student-teacher relationships, a key to student development, was much harder to deliver online.

“Teachers are working a lot harder than they usually do,” he said.

“Teaching a class face-to-face with 25 kids is challenging enough – this quick adjustment period has been quite intense.”

Mr Lopez said he believed the school would emerge from the pandemic even stronger.

“One thing that’s been heart-warming is the positivity and resilience shown by our community,” he said.

“The cues I’m getting from people and parents is we’re trying our best and with time to reflect about the new normal and when we come out of it, we’ve been optimistic and hopeful the future will be positive.”

• Meanwhile, Member for Lowan Emma Kealy believes students in her electorate should go back to school classrooms.

ALL GOOD: Stawell Secondary College maths and science Ms Kealy said the move would be in teacher Nick Oliver is keeping positive. line with expert advice from Australia’s Chief Medical Officer and the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee that schools were safe.

She said parents, students and educators were doing their best to make remote learning work, but with other states reopening schools it was time for Victoria to do the same.

“Too many families are feeling the pressure of having to simultaneously work and home-school their children,” Ms Kealy said.

“It’s frustrating that while other states have made the decision to reopen schools, Daniel Andrews is digging in his heels and ignoring the advice of medical experts.”

The Australian wool market has continued to retract this week, with general overall losses recorded across the country. The national offering was only 24,874 bales, in Sydney the weekly offering was 4,696 bales, this was the lowest weekly offering in North since AWEX records began (1997/98). Overall numbers continue to be well down on the previous season, when compared to the same time last year, there has been 152,758 fewer bales put through the auction system, this is a fall of 10.9%. The smaller offering helped to increase buyer demand, although main buyer focus was on the better style wools and those with favourable additional measurement results. These better style wools recorded minimal movements, however the large selection of lesser style wools and those with poor additional measurement results were not as well supported, losing ground as the sale progressed. The losses in these types was the impetus behind the reductions in the individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) which generally fell across the country by 2 to 50 cents. The only exceptions were the finest MPGs in each centre, which record modest upward movements. The crossbreds also recorded overall losses, the MPGs for 26.0 to 28.0 micron lost between 13 and 34 cents, these falls helping to push the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) EMI down. The EMI lost 20 cents for the series, closing the week at 1,272 cents. Due to currency movements, when viewed in USD terms, the fall in the EMI was marginally higher, a 26 USc reduction. When compared to the corresponding sale of the previous season the EMI has fallen by 671 cents, a reduction of 34.5%. Next week’s national offering increases slightly, there is currently 25,554 bales on offer. Due to reduced quantity Sydney only requires a one-day sale, selling on Wednesday. Melbourne and Fremantle will sell on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Activation group gets ball rolling A

community reference group that will steer a Horsham riverfront activation project has met for the first time.

Three community representatives, eight people from Horsham organisations and four council officers make up the group.

The group formed after Horsham Rural City Council adopted a City to River Masterplan last November.

The council attracted 740 public submissions during a community engagement period last year and amended the masterplan to reflect feedback.

It then divided the plan into sub-precincts, choosing ‘Riverfront Activation’ as the first to be subject to detailed plans.

The community reference group’s role will be to enable the project to evolve and take a step closer to becoming reality by helping transfer ideas into detailed plans.

The group had a second meeting late last week.

Council community wellbeing director Kevin O’Brien said the masterplan overall had inspired much community debate and activating the riverfront stood out as the precinct which garnered the most public support.

He said the council had extracted more than 550 specific comments on riverfront area development from masterplan submissions.

He said these comments would be a starting point for reference group discussions and inform options going forward.

“The riverfront is one of Horsham’s greatest natural assets and this project will aim to enhance this area and make it more accessible, more useable, more inviting and safer for everyone,” he said.

“Specifically, we received many comments

that supported ideas such as boardwalks, landscaping, water-play areas, playgrounds, seating, shade and improved access to the water.

“These options will be explored and worked through with the CRG and the broader public and user groups.”

Mr O’Brien stressed the council had sought funding from both state and federal governments to contribute to the project.

“We have an opportunity to reimagine how this valuable and important public space can work even better for our community,” he said.

“Horsham has benefitted greatly from strong decisions to improve community facilities in the past, including Horsham Aquatic Centre, Horsham Town Hall and the Kalkee Road Children’s and Community Hub. “Change can be challenging, but without it, we miss opportunities to improve the services, standards and activities that residents and visitors expect and deserve.”

Community Reference Group members – Community: Bob Redden, Andrew Sostheim and Phil Lohrey.

Organisations: Aboriginal Advisory Committee, John Gorton; Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Michael Stewart; Horsham Angling Club, Steve Parish; Horsham Caravan Park, Sue Jones and Glenn Coffey; Horsham City Rowing Club, Ray White; Horsham Rural Ratepayers and Residents, Di Bell; Horsham Youth Council, Zach Currie; and Wimmera River Improvement Committee, Gary Aitken.

Horsham council representatives: Kevin O’Brien, community wellbeing director; Carolyn Hamdorf, arts, culture, recreation manager; Sue Newall, City to River – Riverfront Precinct – project manager; and Mandy Kirsopp, recreation and open space co-ordinator.

KEEPING BUSY: Rene Vivian has been using her selfisolation time to knit hats and booties for premature babies or dolls. She sells the items to raise money to support people with Parkinson’s disease.

Rene continues in her helpful way For some people, government-imposed self-isolation measures are providing a perfect opportunity to learn a new language, catch up on a good book or bake up a storm in the kitchen.

Horsham’s Rene Vivian is using her time at home to continue doing what she does best – help others.

Mrs Vivian is concentrating on supporting two causes close to her heart, Parkinson’s disease and the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea. Mrs Vivian, who is living with Parkinson’s, is part of the Wimmera Parkinson’s Peer Support Group and for many years has sold her famous baked goods to raise money for the Cancer Council.

She said while COVID-19 restrictions had provided some

challenges, there were plenty of ways people could keep busy.

“While they’re in isolation there’s so many things they can do,” she said.

“They can knit – in my case, because of the handicap with Parkinson’s, I don’t do any pretty knitting, but I can still knit.

“I am making preemie hats and booties, or baby-doll hats and booties, and I’m selling them to raise money for Parkinson’s.”

Mrs Vivian said she had to think outside of the box when it came to the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea, which falls on May 28 this year.

With social-distancing and self-isolation measures in force, many people will enjoy a ‘virtual cuppa’ this year.

“I have been thinking a lot about what I can I do for the Biggest Morning Tea, without having people here,” Mrs Vivian said.

“I decided to gather the makings of a cuppa – a mug, yoyos, chocolate, cappuccino sachet and a tea bag sachet – and jazz them all up in cellophane, and sell them for $20. I still have a few available.”

Mrs Vivian encouraged people to host their own version of the Biggest Morning Tea. People can visit biggest morningtea.com.au for more information about hosting an event or to donate.

Money raised from morning teas across Australia funds Cancer Council research, prevention, support programs and information.

ANZAC DAY 2020

‘It gave me goosebumps’

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

N

atimuk Brass Band member Meg Sleeman has performed at Anzac Day marches and services for 23 years, but considers Saturday’s commemorations amid a global pandemic as her ‘most meaningful’.

Although traditional Anzac Day commemorations were cancelled due to coronavirus restrictions, Ms Sleeman was one of many musicians who took to the streets to play a musical tribute.

“Because we couldn’t have the normal commemoration this year, I thought a band member could mark Anzac Day in some way,” Ms Sleeman said.

“So at 6am, I went down to our Natimuk war memorial with a wreath I made of rosemary, wattle and gumnuts.

“I said the Ode For the Fallen, played The Last Post, had a minute’s silence then played the Rouse and said, ‘Lest we forget’.

“Out of the darkness came an echo of ‘Lest we forget’ from

Meg Sleeman about 15 locals, who were quietly standing well apart from each other, watching. It gave me goosebumps.”

Ms Sleeman also played The Last Post and Rouse as RSL leaders raised the Australian flag at 11am, before heading to Natimuk Nursing Home at 11.30am.

“The residents and staff were in the front lounge and they opened the doors while I stood outside and said the ode and played again,” she said.

“Staff had made a wreath of callistemon, and they assisted one of the residents to lay it.

“For me, it was the most meaningful Anzac Day I have attend-

ed, especially with the dawn, ‘Lest we forget’ echo.”

Residents throughout the country took to their front gates or the end of their driveways as part of the RSL’s ‘Light up the Dawn’ campaign.

RSL leaders launched the campaign to encourage people to pay their respects while adhering to social-distancing requirements to remain safe and help combat COVID-19. Across the country, residents lit up their driveways with torches, candles and other sources of light as they observed a minute’s silence to remember those who had paid the ultimate sacrifice and pay tribute to past and present servicemen and women.

Many Wimmera-Mallee people followed up their 6am ‘stand to’ by listening to a pre-recorded service on 1089 3WM, led by Horsham RSL president Bob Lockwood and senior vice-president Don Pirouet.

The radio station traditionally broadcasts the dawn service live from Sawyer Park.

Mr Pirouet said he received positive feedback about the pre-recorded service.

“The people I spoke to said it was great to still have local content,” he said.

Mr Pirouet said he was also pleased to see so many people committed to paying their respects despite ‘an Anzac Day like never before’.

“Bob and myself did a small service at 6am at the cenotaph and we could hear bagpipes, trumpets and all sorts of instruments playing the Last Post around Horsham,” he said.

“It was very heartfelt.”

This year was the second year in history Anzac Day services had been cancelled, after the Spanish flu pandemic left the country’s streets empty in 1919.

Marches and services returned in 1920.

Mr Pirouet said although he looked forward to services returning ‘bigger and better’ in 2021, he hoped life was ‘back to normal’ ahead of Remembrance Day commemorations in November.

Pigeons save lives on front lines H

BY BRIAN WATTS

orsham Homing Club was established in 1917 and in 2020 is in its 103rd year.

Today the pigeon-racing club has 19 members and several social members and we can only hope lockdown restrictions due to COVID-19 relax by July and a season race program will start as it always has in early July.

Coming off Anzac Day commemorations, club members throughout Australia have reflected on the role of the humble racing pigeon and heroics of birds during first and second world wars.

Horsham Homing Club has its roots dating back to 1917 when a group of Horsham business people established the club.

Cr F. Langlands was the first club president.

The First World War had ceased and the heroics of many pigeons in wartime service and the thousands of lives that had been saved by the birds had been well publicised.

Club membership boomed again after the Second World War. Apart from being credited with helping save thousands of lives of servicemen during the wars, homing pigeons had also altered the course of many battles.

The Signals Corps during the wars had homing pigeon lofts on tandem trailers for easy transport to new locations. The pigeons quickly re-orientated even when their loft was moved with base relocation.

More than 100,000 pigeons flew with British forces in the First World War.

They played a vital role, proving an extremely reliable way of sending messages with up to 95 percent getting through with their message.

Forces on both sides of the conflict used the birds, routinely sending messages from the front lines and from soldiers on patrol back to their mobile lofts at military bases.

During the Second World War, pigeon lofts were established in Queensland for transport to Papua New Guinea for homing pigeons raised in Australia.

Horsham loft

Australian Army claimed private racing lofts throughout Australia during the Second World War and these included the Dougherty brothers’ loft in Horsham’s Wilson Street, opposite what is now Bunnings.

The army claimed the Horsham loft in case it needed to breed more pigeons for use in the Signals Corps.

At the time the army selected the best lofts for use in the war.

Horsham Homing Club life member and former club president, the late Jack Tydeman, served in the Pigeon Corps during the Second World War. Mr Tydeman later operated a ‘corner’ store in Urquhart Street in Horsham close to the railway line that cuts through the city.

Current club members John Muszkieta, Ken Hunter, Robert Pearce and I were among 12 teenagers who were members of Horsham’s Junior Racing Pigeon Club when it started in 1964.

Our mentor was Mr Tydeman.

Stories of pigeons during the wartime provide fascinating reading.

During the First World War, after

TIME FOR REFLECTION: Horsham Homing Club president Terry Brauer, left, and secretary Brian Watts with one of Brian’s pigeons.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER two pigeons with messages attached to their legs were shot down by German troops, the Allies released a third pigeon, named ‘Cher Ami’ with a message on its leg and the bird managed to get to headquarters despite being shot through the breast and leg.

The message capsule was dangling from a wounded leg that was later amputated.

Consequently, the lives of 194 soldiers from the American 77th Division were saved.

This infantry division was known as the ‘Lost Battalion’, which had been trapped behind German lines and bombarded by their own side, which did not know their location.

Cher Ami was retired after this, his

12th flight across enemy lines, and was awarded the French Croix de Guerre medal.

Another pigeon known as ‘G I Joe’ saved inhabitants of the Italian village of Calvi Vecchia as well as British troops who had occupied the village in October 1943 during the Second World War. Air support had been requested to attack the area, which was thought to be strongly held by German forces.

A message carried by G I Joe that British forces had already captured the village arrived just in time to avert an Allied bombing raid of the area.

G I Joe was one of 32 pigeons awarded the The Dickin Medal, which recognises any animal displaying con-

spicuous gallantry and devotion to duty, during the war.

Military forces also used pigeons on warships, in tanks and in aircraft.

One pigeon flew more than 300 kilometres from a shipwreck at sea on a dark and stormy night.

The pigeon flew through the night to arrive back on land with the message the next morning.

Pigeons are known to fly at night particularly at times of a full moon, however, this was an exceptionally rare event.

The French Resistance movement also used homing pigeons based behind Allied lines to send vital messages back to their home lofts in England during the Second World War. The Allies dropped the birds by parachute for use by the French Resistance as well as Allied troops.

This prompted Germany to post marksmen and falconers along the coast of the channel, to intercept pigeons on flight back to England with their messages.

Also in the Second World War, the Germans commandeered up to a million pigeons from Belgium lofts for use by their own troops.

In present day Europe, Belgium and the Netherlands are regarded as the source of the best racing pigeons in the world.

It is not uncommon for 20,000 pigeons to be released in one race.

The winners attract hundreds of thousands of Euros when placed on the market.

Hope for performing arts T

BY DYLAN DE JONG

he Wimmera’s performing arts community can remain hopeful that performances will resume next year with groups such as Horsham Arts Council continuing to rehearse in self-isolation.

The performing arts sector, which relies on ticket sales and face-to-face rehearsals, is one of the hardest hit industries amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with artists losing performance opportunities for the foreseeable future.

Horsham Arts Council managed to save expected costs of royalties for songs and advertising for its latest performance, Broadway Showcase, due to being in early stages of production, ultimately saving the show.

Broadway Showcase, set to feature snapshots of 24 musicals, will have 70 cast members performing songs from the likes of Wicked, Matilda and Hamilton when it hits the stage in 2021.

The group has cancelled all other shows in 2020.

To keep the arts community and supporters ‘on the edge of their seats’, the group has started a series of talent-sharing videos through its Facebook page #HACsings, in an effort to keep cast members ‘engaged in their talent’.

Committee member and show coordinator Maddi Ostapiw bravely took part in the online challenge, uploading herself singing a cover of Goodbye Until Tomorrow by The Last Five Years.

Ms Ostapiw, who typically works behind the scenes, said she hoped her singing would encourage other cast members to get involved.

“I don’t normally sing in front of people anymore,” she said.

“I recently moved to completely behind the scenes. I’m more comfortable telling people what to do rather than putting myself out there.

“Jumping in front of a camera and recording myself singing felt very strange, but it’s amazing to see that we can keep that same human connection through teaching, learning and performing that we normally have

LOOKING FORWARD: Horsham Arts Council members Maddi Ostapiw, left, and Jessica Wilson at the group’s headquarters in Hamilton Road.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER when we’re in a room singing to one another.

“We just thought this could be a way to keep people a little bit motivated or give them something to do and share the love.”

Ms Ostapiw said cancelling HAC shows for 2020 was a massive loss to the community.

“I know I feel very lost all of a sudden, having all of these events that I sink hours and hours into suddenly disappear this year,” she said.

“It was a massive blow to everything we do in a year when all these public events were closed down.

“Obviously it definitely needed to happen, but it has left a lot of people who’ve really seen places like HAC, the eisteddfod and the concerts we do in town as a bit of a social home, without anything to do for quite a while.”

She said many people in the Wimmera relied on shows such as Mamma Mia! and Rock of the Ages as a hub to meet like-minded people and to be able to express themselves.

“The arts community is incredibly

important for Horsham, we make money for the region and we’re creating social connections,” she said.

“We do some great work, it may not be the greatest work because we’re not medical professionals, we’re not contributing to a world that will change history forever, but we’re making the world better for people who otherwise would not have an artistic outlet in this town.

“It’s so strange for a small regional place like ours to sustain the amount of work we do every year.”

Ms Ostapiw said she was grateful HAC could save Broadway Showcase.

“We’re excited that we’re able to move that show back and still produce it next year – times will change, depending on the advice given by the government,” she said.

Council president Jessica Wilson said she wanted HAC to continue to grow and continue to serve Horsham, a city thirsty for entertainment.

“We were halfway through rehearsing a production and things were starting to take shape, but it literally came to a

screeching halt – we walked out of our last rehearsal not knowing it was our last rehearsal,” she said.

“As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on each production to then go into the next production, so if we lose that momentum it sort of stagnates us a bit with what we can produce in the next few years.”

Mrs Wilson encouraged all committee members to get involved in the group’s #HACsings challenge.

“We still gather in a digital way – it’s really wonderful. We are getting people to share things who wouldn’t normally perform,” she said.

“We put a message out to our casts to continue practising, we want to keep the momentum going.”

She said losing the outlet of the arts had a huge impact on the community.

“The whole reason I joined the arts council 20 years ago was because it was my outlet – it’s my tribe,” she said.

“It’s not so much the art we create, it’s the people we spend that time with – when the people element is taken away from you it can be quite harsh.”

Hopetoun open Parents will again be able to send their children to a childcare centre in Hopetoun, which has reopened for families for three days a week.

This followed a previous closing of the Uniting childcare centre due to staffing issues amid COVID-19 restrictions.

Uniting’s Balmoral childcare centre had also closed.

Although Hopetoun families have some reprieve, Uniting is yet to announce any changes regarding the closure of its Balmoral centre.

Uniting south-west area manager for early learning Paula Clarke said a significant decline in attendance and staff had caused the shutdown of the centres.

“We’ve been doing everything possible to keep all our childcare centres open, because we know families are depending on us, particularly during this uncertain time,” she said.

“We made the difficult decision to temporarily close our Balmoral and Hopetoun childcare centres.”

She said Uniting was working to re-open the Balmoral centre.

Kinder learning Parents of kindergarten students in Yarriambiack Shire are being encouraged to provide their education from home if possible.

Yarriambiack Shire Council kindergartens join hundreds of Victorian educational facilities forced to completely rethink their teaching strategies, to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19.

As one of the first shires in Victoria to offer a three-year-old program, the council is now asking families who are enrolled in three and four-year-old programs who can educate their children from home to do so.

The services are open to enrolled families who encounter difficulty in providing a suitable learning environment at home or where parents or guardians are essential workers.

Kieran’s story of recovery A

Halls Gap man who has recovered from COVID-19 has spoken of his ordeal and how healthcare professionals helped him get through his illness and isolation.

Distance-running enthusiast Kieran Ryan, 31, was in the United States of America when the COVID-19 threat started to escalate.

He had travelled to America to compete in the Los Angeles Marathon and was in New York when it became apparent that COVID-19 was gripping the country.

In response to circumstances, Kieran decided to fly home and spend the rest of his planned annual leave at his property in Halls Gap. Born and raised in Stawell, he organised for his parents to stock his house up with supplies so he could go straight home and isolate. This was despite the procedure being simply a recommendation and not a mandatory requirement at the time.

He then started to feel unwell, symptoms starting with a runny nose, cough and exhaustion.

“At first I put it down to the fact that I had just done a lot of travel and run a marathon. It was my body just adjusting,” he said.

“Then I literally shook myself to sleep one night. It was the first time I ever had a fever like that. I woke up and had sweated through the sheets and that is when I really thought I was a chance of having coronavirus.”

Kieran said he phoned a GP and Wimmera Health Care Group’s Horsham COVID-19 clinic where he later arrived for testing.

“My gut was telling me that I did

Kieran Ryan have it, especially as I had just returned from New York,” he said. “It was an amazing experience getting the test done. Besides the swab, which felt like it went into my brain, everything was great.

“The staff from the Department of Health and Human Services that I spoke to on the phone were wonderful and Sonia and Deidre at the clinic in Horsham were brilliant.

“They were very professional with the way they dealt with all the infection-control risks, but incredibly warm and caring at the same time.”

Clear instructions

Kieran said he received clear information on the next steps and what he needed to do as someone suspected of having the virus.

“As soon as you are tested, you are in self isolation, in your car and back

to your house. You’re on lockdown, looking after yourself and your health in that moment,” he said.

“They said ‘if you hear from us, it’s probably good news and if you hear from the health department it is likely you have it’. I saved the Horsham clinic number in my phone and four days later they called me and I had a little smirk thinking this is going to be great news. But they actually confirmed I tested positive.”

Kieran said the illness was a rollercoaster – physically and emotionally.

“My symptoms fluctuated. I had a couple of days that weren’t great. I even phoned a friend who is a lawyer and organised a will.

“I called some mates and asked if they would carry my coffin if I passed.

“Because you see the confirmed cases and the deaths reported and there isn’t

much reporting on the recovered cases.

I am 31 and was questioning my mortality. That was scary.”

Kieran said he was lucky to only briefly experience those thoughts and feelings.

“What helped me a lot was everyone I spoke to from the Department of Health and from the Horsham clinic. I received a call from Deidre or Sonia in Horsham every day and the department every second day,” he said.

“I always tried to enjoy the conversations and get the most out of them and we developed relationships.

“Being in isolation, you’re on your own and you’re sick. You are feeling vulnerable as it is and then no one is there with you, so those calls really mattered.”

Kieran said the medical staff were also living through a situation they had never experienced.

“Yet they’re still treating people who are testing positive like rock stars.

It shows the character of the people working in the health system,” he said.

“They were my sources of truth. I decided to only listen to information coming from those sources. I think that’s a message to get across to people as well – people should be getting their information from the right places.”

Kieran was cleared of the virus on April 12 and said he was unsure at first about whether to go public with his story.

“I decided to shine a light on it,” he said.

“People have this fear confirmed cases are roaming the streets, but we are very much on lockdown and doing the right thing. You get it, you get rid of it and then you are no longer infectious.”

Shirley Bragonje

High tea at a distance Residents at Ingenia Gardens Horsham have celebrated the retirement village’s 15th anniversary with a high tea.

Residents were unable to gather together to mark the occasion due to social-distancing guidelines, but instead had home-delivered high tea, allowing them to celebrate the milestone in style.

Shirley Bragonje was one of the community’s original residents 15 years ago and has enjoyed living in a connected community in her role as social club treasurer – a position she has had for 13 years.

“The anniversary is very special for our community and having been here for such a long time I’ve gotten to know everyone very well,” she said.

“The many milestones and birthdays I’ve celebrated here are among my fondest memories, so no matter how we celebrate, the joy I’ve experienced in this community is what makes this occasion so meaningful to me.

“Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, I feel so lucky to have called our community home for the past 15 years.”

Emotional and financial support H

orsham business owners needing help to apply for government support can turn to Horsham Rural City Council’s economic development team.

Many coronavirus-affected businesses can access up to $10,000 from the State Government along with Federal Government JobKeeper payments.

Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said a business support team had already helped several Horsham businesses in understanding the government-support packages.

“There are businesses in our municipality who have the resources to apply for these grants. But we know there are some who need help with the paperwork,” he said.

“There are also local operators who are not aware that they actually qualify for assistance and we have been helping people to understand the eligibility criteria.”

Mr Bhalla said the council was sending a support newsletter to more than 1200 businesses and had so far contacted more than 150 directly by phone.

“Our team wants to help make sure Wimmera businesses highly impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions can benefit from these grants as soon as possible,” he said.

“It’s our goal to make certain no local business misses out.”

While the impact of COVID-19 on small businesses is devastating, circumstances are also taking a toll people’s mental health.

Patrick White from Rural Financial Counselling Service Victoria’s Horsham branch said his organisation was available to help all businesses under stress.

“The impacts of the coronavirus are hurting

“The general uncertainty about how the coronavirus situation might affect you and your business in the weeks and months ahead can have a huge impact financially, mentally, emotionally and physically, which is why taking care of yourself now is so important.”

– Patrick White

many in the community, including businesses,” he said.

“It’s important that business operators and employees get the right financial and emotional support. The general uncertainty about how the coronavirus situation might affect you and your business in the weeks and months ahead can have a huge impact financially, mentally, emotionally and physically, which is why taking care of yourself now is so important.”

Mr White also encouraged business owners overwhelmed by paperwork to seek help when applying for grants.

“Grants from the Victorian Government’s Business Support Fund can be used towards business costs such as rent, utilities and salaries, and activities to support business continuity planning, such as seeking financial and or legal advice,” he said.

“It might take 20 to 30 minutes to craft an application. If you are successful in a $10,000 grant, that is a pretty handy hourly return.”

People can call Rural Financial Counselling Service on 5381 1646. The Horsham council’s business support team is available by email at business@hrcc.vic.gov.au or by calling 0428 357 220.

ON THE MOVE: SHS Civil site manager Jacob Hamilton inspects progress on new netball courts at Alexandra Oval in Ararat.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Work continues on Ararat project An Ararat on the Move project is progressing despite COVID-19 restrictions.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said contractors were continuing to work on Ararat’s premier sporting facility development as part of the plan.

The project involves development of netball courts and upgrading Olver Stand at Alexandra Oval.

He said contractors were ensuring they adhered to socialdistancing rules and other COVID-19 restrictions.

Work in April has involved laying bricks at the netball courts, concreting footpaths and continuing projects on

stormwater drainage, shelter works, electrical works and other general construction work.

“It’s great to see a local contractor continuing to work during these difficult times, and we thank SHS Civil for their efforts,” Dr Harrison said.

“The company who will be completing the acrylic surface for the netball courts hopes to arrive soon, all going well, but that will depend on whether COVID-19 restrictions are changed in the meantime.”

Dr Harrison said work on the Ararat Active Link stage two – Ararat Skate Park project, would begin when SHS

Civil completed the netball courts, but was also dependent on whether COVID-19 restrictions changed.

“A project manager is also working on the Olver Stand redevelopment,” he said.

Dr Harrison said the Ararat on the Move Alexandra Oval Development – Events and Visitor Space project, also at Alexandra Oval, was out for tender.

“We want to reassure the community we will continue to work on this project – and other projects – as long as we are able to under COVID-19 restrictions,” he said.

Living the life of The Truman Show I

f you haven’t seen the movie, The Truman Show, I can highly recommend it.

Not for the reasons you think though. It is because I feel as if that is what we are living in with this lockdown.

The movie is about a salesman living an apparently idyllic life who does not know his entire world is a reality TV show and as he slowly works it out, he decides to escape.

It seems as if I live in a little bubble of routine.

I was already working from home so no change there – get up, turn on the computer and start sourcing the stories of the day. Finish work, go and ride my horse or walk my dogs. Do some gardening. Cook. Clean.

Generally faff about.

I can even still go to the shops.

Only the restaurants seem to be closed in town.

I have a Zoom work meeting once a week and another with friends where we are supposed to talk about movies we have agreed to watch, but it ends up

Country Today with Libby Price

just being a shemozzle. Don’t you love that word?

It is a very different story for my adult children.

My son married on March 14, just before lockdown.

He works as a financial advisor and, as you can well imagine, is going through hell trying to placate panicked clients.

The only corporate advice I could give him was, ‘don’t put your tie on until after you’ve cleaned your teeth’ and ‘always wear polished shoes’.

I made the mistake of checking out my superannuation account. My advice – just don’t.

My daughter was working in media in London and fortunately came home for her brother’s wedding and chose not to return.

So, she is unemployed and not eligible for any government assistance, stuck in her father’s

home in Queensland. I know – first-world problem. If you’re going to get stuck somewhere, Noosa is the spot.

But of course, she faces the possibility of her career never again being what it was.

Which brings me to my rather rambling point.

Those of us who work in agriculture are suddenly the lucky ones.

The drought seems to have broken and it’s a very promising season.

We are generally isolated and far less likely to contract coronavirus than our city cousins.

We are still able to be productive and fill our days with good, hard work. And we are used to going it alone and just getting on with it.

This unprecedented event has given us all a chance to think philosophically about who we are, and what we want our lives to be.

I feel a renewed thankfulness that my life has taken its country path.

Exchange roof on track 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Progress on a new roof over Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange is on track, with leaders expecting the $3.6-million project to be completed on schedule.

Manager Paul Christopher said contractors were building the roof in five stages and were on track to finish by October this year.

Work on the 23,400 square-metre roof, which features a sawtooth modular design, started in January.

Ballarat-based MKM Constructions is project contractor.

“It’s going really well,” Mr Christopher said.

“We have three stages of framework up and two of those stages have the tin on the roof.”

Mr Christopher said stage-four works started on Monday.

He said Horsham Laser Electrical contractors had been installing lighting, with plumbers starting work on stormwater infrastructure.

The project boasts 500 kilolitres of water storage, LED lighting and 100 kilowatts of solar panels.

The project is designed to have various significant long-term benefits, including weather protection for livestock, staff, agents and buyers, improved livestock quality, carbon-emission reductions and reduced cleaning and maintenance costs.

The Horsham exchange is the fourth-largest in the state, behind Ballarat, Bendigo and Hamilton.

Mr Christopher said completing construction work in conjunction with livestock sales proved challenging, however he was pleased

Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange manager Paul Christopher sheep and lamb sales could continue amid stage-three COVID-19 restrictions.

Under measures to limit attendance at the site, the general public cannot attend sales, even if they are selling livestock.

“We haven’t been taking the restrictions lightly,” Mr Christopher said.

“Currently only abattoirs buyers are able to attend.

“We attract a lot of buyers from other areas, such as Melbourne, Geelong and Echuca. We want to keep them safe and also our locals.

“We are taking names and phone numbers of attendees, asking if they are well before they attend and so on.

“We appreciate people being compliant and still being able to run sales.”

Pest-control move “Like” Us On Facebook

95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

L

icenced gun owners can again help farmers control pest animals in a move Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has called ‘common sense’.

Ms Kealy described the move as a necessary backflip on hunting regulations.

She said pest animals including foxes had become a greater problem than usual after the government banned recreational hunting ‘under any circumstance’.

The government has since changed its ruling, allowing licenced shooters to leave home and travel to a farm to help with dayto-day management activities, including controlling pests. Gathering and distancing rules still apply.

Ms Kealy said it was a sensible move to listen to farmers and allow shooters to do this work, whether on a paid or unpaid basis.

“Recreational shooters play a big part in helping farmers control pest animals,” she said.

“Labor’s initial ban on this type of shooting meant landholders had to manage all pests on their own land, creating an impossible task for many.

“AgVic couldn’t step up to replace banned additional recreational licenced shooters who work voluntarily, so if the bans had continued it would have led to a huge

growth in pest numbers and devastating consequences for primary producers’ lamb and sheep stock, particularly with lambing due to start shortly.

“Local farmers are already reporting an increase in fox numbers. Controlling foxes is crucial to prevent them decimating lamb and sheep stock and taking away crucial income for our primary producers.”

Ms Kealy said while reversing the ban on unpaid workers helping control pests was a start, shooters still needed access to buy ammunition.

The government introduced a ban on firearm and ammunition sales to recreational shooters at the end of March.

Under stay-at-home directions, paid and unpaid work can continue for day-to-day on-farm management, including controlling pests and weeds and feeding livestock.

Professional hunters, similar to farmers, have their occupation categorised on their firearms licence, which means they can still buy firearms and ammunition.

Licence extension

Victoria’s 50,000-plus recreational game hunters, meanwhile, will get compensation for lost hunting opportunities.

The State Government will ex-

tend all current game licences by one year. The move is recognition of the impact on Victoria’s game hunters caused by mandatory social-distancing measures.

The expiry date of all game licences administered by Game Management Authority will have a 12-month extension.

Hunters pay a fee for one or three-year licences.

Health directives and restrictions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic have had an impact on game-hunting seasons for hog and sambar deer, stubble quail and gamebirds.

In response to public health advice, GMA also postponed all waterfowl identification tests and hound-hunting tests until further notice. Anyone who had already booked a test will have their booking fee refunded.

Victoria’s Chief Health Officer has advised that to help slow the spread of coronavirus, unless licenced for vermin control, people must not leave their properties for recreational hunting.

State of Emergency measures remain in place until May 11.

Duck-hunting season opens on May 2, but hunting ducks on a property other than where a hunter lives will be banned until restrictions ease.

Take care with chemicals • Using the right application rate for the specific pest-crop combination.

• Using the right Personal Protective Equipment, PPE, as specified on the label.

• Following any withholding periods specified on the label.

• Adhering to all ‘do not’ statements listed on the label.

Mr Field said withholding periods represented the amount of time that must elapse between when the crop was sprayed and when it could be harvested.

“Following the withholding period is critical because it allows the pesticide to break down to an appropriate level,” he said.

“By taking the time and care to do things correctly, pesticide users can make sure they reduce the risks to themselves and the environment, and grow fresh, delicious produce in the process.”

Authorities are urging backyard gardeners to make sure they read and follow the instructions on the labels of any chemical products they might be using in their home gardens.

Agriculture Victoria chemicals specialist Steven Field said there were simple principles home gardeners should keep in mind if they chose to use pesticides.

“Home gardeners should take care to read and follow the instructions on the labels of pesticides they are using to ensure safe use. The instructions are there to manage the risks,” he said.

“If you don’t follow the label instructions you might increase the risk to yourself and others unnecessarily.”

Mr Field said following the label instructions included: • Only using the pesticide on crops that were specified on the label.

New industry support group A

new group involving Agriculture Victoria and industry representatives is working to ensure supply chains remain open for the state’s agricultural sector during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The State Government has formed the Victorian Agriculture Industry Reference Group to share government information, ensure farmers and producers have up-to-date health and business advice and respond to feedback and concerns.

The group, including representatives from 25 peak industry bodies, is working with the government to address issues facing the sector.

This includes providing information about commuting and accommodating seasonal workers, along with answering frequently asked questions about how businesses can manage staff safety and the health of their workforce, and directives for people with responsibilities for animals.

Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes said the industry was aware that to slow the spread of coronavirus, it was vital the entire agriculture supply chain adopt enhanced cleaning regimes, hy-

95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

giene practices and physical-distancing measures.

She said many businesses had shown leadership and were ensuring they had continuity plans, strict cleaning regimes in the workplace and had processes in place to ensure work could continue should an employee need to self-isolate.

Quick reference

Ms Symes also urged any businesses seeking advice to visit Business Victoria website www.business.vic.gov.au or call hotline 13 22 15, with support staff trained to address specific concerns of the agriculture industry.

She said latest guidance on commuting and accommodating seasonal and contract workers during the coronavirus could be found online at agriculture.vic.gov.au.

“I’m extremely grateful to everyone working so hard across the agriculture supply chain to ensure we have the food and goods we all need,” she said.

“Through the feedback they have brought to the group, our agricultural businesses have shown yet again how resilient they can be in the face of hardship, and some invaluable insight into the reality of the pandemic on regional Victoria.”

PPS plays key role in recovery A

n organisation from Project Platypus Upper Wimmera Landcare Network has been instrumental in aiding bushfire-recovery efforts in Victoria and South Australia.

Perennial Pasture Systems, PPS, an independent farmers group, was quick to respond and help fellow farmers affected by the 2020 summer bushfires.

Tatyoon district farmers co-ordinated the first hay drive to affected areas with hay and straw donated by PPS members. Initial donations went to East Gippsland, as did more loads later in the summer.

Many PPS members understood the hardship endured by East Gippsland farmers because several had visited the region on the group’s annual study tour in 2018.

Having seen the impact of the prolonged drought in the region, many expected the fires to test even the most resilient farmers.

As well as using volunteer trucks, PPS helped businesses that struggled after the fires by using Gippsland contractors.

A fire in Lexton area, where most PPS members are more closely located, caused significant problems for farmers.

Members delivered hay and grain to impacted farms after the fire to help with stock management.

Help also went to farms on Kangaroo

TEAM EFFORT: Perennial Pasture Systems members discuss plans to transport hay to bushfire areas.

Island, where more than half the island was severely affected.

PPS members visited Kangaroo Island on a 2017 annual study tour and were disappointed to learn that several of the farms visited lost stock, fences and infrastructure in the fires.

PPS delivered loads of straw to the study tour host farms and other properties affected by the fires, with the fodder going to sheep in containment areas.

PPS project manager Rob Shea organ-

ised most of the recovery process and many members put in hours of voluntary time to assist the effort.

Stuart Robinson from Lismore coordinated the Kangaroo Island fodder with help from Jason Benson from Benson Freight, who donated his trucking service for the hay.

Corey Price from Eversley also organised five semi-trailers to deliver donated hay for the second Gippsland effort in February.

PPS members also donated money to provide fencing material for farms on Kangaroo Island, assist with fuel costs and help support a Lions Club near Lexton, which catered for bushfire-recovery crew, Blaze Aid. Mr Shea said the response from Victorian farmers to help people in need was outstanding.

“The PPS group was proud to contribute to the effort,” he said.

New tower at Douglas

Douglas farming district in the southern Wimmera will have improved access for mobile telephone communications under the Federal Government’s latest Mobile Black Spot Program round.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster confirmed that Douglas and Douglas Mine as well as Tutye between Ouyen and the South Australian border would be home to three new base stations.

“It’s great that Mallee will soon be benefitting from improved mobile connectivity provided by these new base stations,” she said.

“Improved mobile coverage will help family and friends connect, access quality education and health services, and do business globally.”

Dr Webster said people living in and around and travelling through Douglas and Tutye areas would have better phone service to make calls, browse the internet and stay connected.

Development of the new stations is scheduled in coming months with expectations the the first new stations will become active by the end of the year.

Keeping brakes on brome grass 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A

gricultural authorities have encouraged Wimmera farmers to help tackle the spread of brome grass in the region.

Agriculture Victoria has continued an awareness campaign regarding the weed after a series of workshops in partnership with Wimmera Catchment Management Authority and Wimmera Farming Network.

Speaking at the workshops, South Australian weeds research scientist Dr Sam Kleemann said there was need for a concerted three-year effort on brome grass to overcome this serious weed on grain farms.

“Only 20 years ago, brome grass was not classed as a weed of significance in the region. Now it causes $20-million in lost cereal yield each year across south-eastern Australia, of which $4.5-million is in the Wimmera alone,” he said.

“This does not include the costs of controlling the weed.”

Brome is a highly competitive weed and can reduce wheat yields by 30 to 50 percent with only 100 plants per square metre.

It has proliferated with the adoption of no-till farming, early sowing and dry sowing. The weed can produce multiple germinations each year.

Dr Kleemann said brome grass had evolved in modern farming systems

Wednesday, April 29, 2020

EFFORT: South Australia’s Dr Sam Kleemann has told Wimmera farmers and advisors that brome grass control needs a concerted three-year effort.

with higher levels of seed dormancy, making management more difficult.

“You don’t need a lot of plants to inflict a lot of pain,” he said.

“It is a competitive weed and can severely reduce yields with the presence of only low weed numbers.

“Brome grass populations have evolved to withstand modern farming

practices by becoming more dormant and germinating later, making them harder to control. For example, brome grass populations in crops can germinate an average 20 days later than when found along fence lines.”

Dr Kleemann said about 25 percent of the seedbank failed to germinate in any season and instead carried over

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

into the next year, making longer-term management important.

“Fortunately most seed only survives up to three years,” he said.

He said even after the first year of applying brome grass controls, there was still enough viable seed to kickstart the population.

“If you take your foot off the brake,

then even in a dry year brome grass can produce more than 8000 seeds per square metre and about a quarter of the seeds will carry over into the next season without germinating,” he said.

“So, with significant brome patches where seedbanks are large you need a minimum of three years of control to make an impact.”

Grower advice is to use a range of tactics to drive weed numbers down.

In addition to herbicides, growers can employ non-chemical control methods such as harvest weed-seed control.

While resistance to selective herbicides is still low in brome grass, growers should identify whether any apparent herbicide failure was application-related, resistance or both.

Growers are also encouraged to test for herbicide resistance when herbicides do not work.

Dr Kleeman said pulse crops or vetch were good options in the first year of brome grass control, enabling growers to use a grass-selective herbicide and crop-top.

“Hay cutting and chemical fallow tactics are also helpful, reducing brome grass numbers by 95 percent.

In the Mallee, some growers opted to spray out patches of brome grass in crops before it set seed,” he said.

Calculating the cost of weeds “Like” Us On Facebook

A

national group dedicated to helping farmers with chemical weed control has developed a tool growers and advisors can use to compare costs of weed-seed controls on their farms.

WeedSmart western extension agronomist Peter Newman has developed the interactive spreadsheet tool using on-farm data and costings.

He has developed the concept based on the many options available that work in reducing weed-seed banks and the wide variations in initial outlay, associated activities and nutrient removal concentration.

“We have good data to suggest that harvest weed-seed control costs are $7 to $19 per hectare and there are only minor differences in the cost between the available tools when compared with using the same farm data,” Mr Newman said.

“But because every farm is different and small differences in costs per hectare can make a big difference at the whole farm scale, it is important for growers to have confidence they can afford and justify the expenses incurred.”

Some harvest weed-seed control tactics involve the purchase of substantial machinery – such as an impact mill, chaff cart or chaff deck.

But operational and labour costs might be lower than methods such as narrow windrow burning, which

“By imputing your own figures into the harvest weed-seed control costing tool you can quickly evaluate the financial impact of the available options”

– Peter Newman, right

involves low set-up costs but higher nutrient losses and labour costs associated with burning. Invariably narrow windrow burning is the most expensive option in the long-run due to the high nutrient removal cost.

“As a general rule, the cost of harvest weed-seed control is lower per hectare on larger farms with lower yields,” Mr Newman said.

“This is because the capital cost is spread over a larger area, less nutrients are removed because the yields are lower and the low biomass crops allow low harvest heights without slowing down the harvester or using extra fuel.

“The converse is generally true for smaller farms with higher yields.

“By imputing your own figures into the harvest weed-seed control costing tool you can quickly evaluate the financial impact of the available options.”

Mr Newman said another important factor to consider was that some technology was relatively new to market and there were unknowns such as the expected life of parts when operating in

commercial field conditions. He said as time goes by manufacturers would be able to provide more concrete advice on service and repair costs, and overcome any parts failures.

He said the spreadsheet was easy to use and took into account capital cost, nutrient spread-loss, cost of ownership, harvest cost, reduction in harvest

capacity, fuel use and replacement of wearing parts.

Users also input data about their farm size and crop yields.

He said people keen to find out more about harvest weed-seed control and to download the costing tool could visit website www.weedsmart.org.au.

Agricultural opportunity The State Government is giving workers who have lost their jobs a fresh start in agriculture and ensuring primary producers have the workers they need to keep producing at high levels during the coronavirus pandemic.

Agriculture and Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes launched a $50-million Agriculture Workforce Plan, designed to provide practical support for critical food industries, helping the sector and regional communities.

The plan will match workers who have lost their jobs with employers in the agriculture sector, helping agribusinesses and primary producers to meet their labour and operational needs.

It is part of the government’s $500-million Working for Victoria Fund, established to help workers who have lost their jobs find new opportunities.

Agriculture Victoria and Regional Development Victoria are working to match displaced workers to vital industries such as horticulture, dairy, meat and food production and manufacturing, as well as transport and logistics services.

The plan will help pay for training to ensure redeployed workers have swift access to upskilling.

Here to stay...

J

eep Australia has given its Grand Cherokee large SUV line-up an overhaul for 2020, one that sees more standard safety features and tech added.

The previously limited-edition Night Eagle will replace the Laredo as the entry point to the range, now brandishing a $59,950 pricetag before onroads.

The permanent addition of the Night Eagle to the range not only marks the departure of the Laredo nameplate, but the two-wheel-drive configuration along with it, adding more than $12,000 to the range’s entry price.

As before, the Night Eagle is available with the choice of either a 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine good for 213kW of power and 347Nm of torque, or a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 diesel churning out 184kW and 570Nm.

Both units are hooked up to the familiar eight-speed automatic transmission and send their power to all four wheels – just like the rest of the range.

To commemorate the Night Eagle’s promotion to a full-time offering, Jeep has upped its standard spec to now include advanced brake assist, lane departure warning plus, automatic high beam control and full speed forward collision warning plus.

All of the existing gear – Capri Black leather seats with perforated suede inserts, Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, exclusive 20-inch black alloy wheels, black exterior accents, two-speed transfer case, hill descent control, Parkview reverse parking camera, Parksense front and rear park assist, seven airbags, bixenon headlamps, keyless entry with

push button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster display and heated, eight-way power adjustable front seats – has been carried over.

Next in the range is the familiar but now singular Limited variant, priced from the same $63,950 with the aforementioned petrol engine now being the only option.

Compared with the Night Eagle, the Limited adds a few extra niceties including a nine-speaker Alpine Sound System, rear USB charging ports, adaptive cruise control, remote start, electric tailgate, heated steering wheel and memory function for the driver’s seat, while safety has also been taken up a notch with blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection and park assist.

New for 2020 is the addition of the

Jeep Australia sheds Laredo and adds Night Eagle to 2020 Grand Cherokee range

3.0-litre turbo-diesel mill to the midrange S-Limited variant, priced exactly the same as the carryover petrol variant at $72,950, which sheds the V6 in favour of a 5.7-litre ‘Hemi’ V8, good for 259kW and 520Nm. Inspired by the potent SRT variant, Jeep says the S-Limited ‘combines street appeal with capability’ as it brandishes ‘exclusive dark, sporty enhancements’, including the SRT’s aggressively sculpted bonnet.

Compared with its lesser Limited counterpart, the S-Limited adds Heritage leather seats, exclusive 20-inch Granite Crystal alloy wheels, S-Limited Exterior Package, Granite Crystal exterior badging, Granite Crystal and Black Grille accented seven-slot grille, black mirror covers, S badge, premium LED fog lights, dark lens tail lamps, dark headlamp bezel finish,

dual trapezoidal exhaust tips, 220Amp alternator and self-levelling rear suspension.

As for the rest of the range, the Trailhawk, Overland, Summit, SRT and Trackhawk have all been carried over unchanged for 2020.

Jeep Australia brand and product strategy director Guillaume Drelon said the updates to the 2020 range ensured the Grand Cherokee remained one of the best offerings in its segment.

Jeep was able to shift 563 Grand Cherokees in the first quarter of 2020, accounting for just 2.5 percent of the increasingly crowded sub-$70,000 large SUV segment.

Last year it managed 681 sales over the same period, occupying an identical 2.5 percent share of the segment.

June arrival for Skoda Scala

S

koda Australia has revealed the local spec and pricing of its new Scala small car range, with the three-variant line-up due to hit showrooms in June priced from $27,690 plus on-road costs.

Visually, the Scala echoes the same new design language as the Karoq, Superb and Kodiaq, undoubtedly led by the signature slatted grille and ‘eyelash’ headlight arrangement.

Destined to try to poach sales from segment heavyweights including the Mazda3, Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Golf, value is the name of the Scala’s game according to Skoda, with even the base model 110TSI brandishing a lengthy list of standard equipment.

For the $27,690 entry price, buyers will get 18-inch alloy wheels, black window surrounds, automatic tailgate, rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, 10.25-inch virtual cockpit, tinted windows, wireless charging, lane assist, seven airbags, heated autodimming and folding exterior mirrors, hill hold control, fatigue detection, SmartLink, voice control, front foglights, LED tail-lights, animated turn signals, rear-view camera, Bolero 8.0inch infotainment screen, split-folding rear seats, two rear USB charging points, Bluetooth, multifunction leath-

COMPETITION: Skoda’s C-segment contender, the Scala, will arrive in showrooms with lots of equipment. er sports steering wheel, red ambient lightning, tyre pressure monitoring system, reversible luggage compartment mat and Skoda’s trunk package as standard.

Spending an extra $1000 will add the familiar seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission – the only option available for the rest of the range.

Above the 110TSI grade is the sportier Monte Carlo, which adds some extra visual flare courtesy of a blacked out radiator grill, window surrounds, more aggressive alloy wheels and lowered sports suspension.

The lowered suspension forms part of the Monte Carlo’s standard Sport Chassis Control package which also

brings selectable driver modes and two ride-adjustment setting, all accessed from the same menu in the infotainment system.

The Monte Carlo continues this sporty theme inside the cabin too, with sports seats and pedals, while keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, full LED headlights with AFS

and a panoramic roof add an extra level of luxury to match.

Sitting at the top of the Scala tree is the $34,690 Launch Edition, which can be distinguished by its chrome grille surround, body-coloured mirrors and ‘aero’ alloy wheels.

The Launch Edition adds leather and suede upholstery, heated seats all round, electric driver’s seat, 9.2-inch Amundsen infotainment system, satellite navigation, dusk sensing lights, rain sensing wipers, auto-dimming rearview mirror, wireless SmartLink with Apple Carplay, auto parking assist, side assist with blind spot monitoring and rear traffic alert.

All Scala variants are powered by the same turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine developing 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque sent exclusively to the front wheels via the aforementioned manual or automatic transmissions.

Boot space is pegged at an impressive 467 litres, a figure which expands to 1410 litres when the rear seats are folded flat.

Skoda sold 1546 cars through the first quarter of 2020 marking a 112unit improvement over the same period in 2019 – one of only a few brands to experience any sales growth.

Mitsubishi locks in Express van

M

itsubishi Motors Australia Limited has confirmed that July will mark the return of the Express mid-size van, which will arrive in Australia as a re-badged version of the Renault Trafic.

The company last offered the Express in 2013.

The new Express is the first Mitsubishi product manufactured in France by Renault and will be offered with the choice of two wheelbases, two turbodiesel engines and either an automatic or manual transmission.

The two engine choices consist of a 1.6-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder unit paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, and a meatier 2.0-litre single-turbo unit paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited, MMAL, has not provided engine outputs for the Express, however, it is likely to mirror that of the Trafic, where the twin-turbo 1.6 produces 103kW at 3500rpm and 340Nm at 1500rpm, all while sipping 6.2 litres per 100km in short-wheelbase guise.

The 2.0-litre engine produces 125kW at 3500rpm and 380Nm at 1500rpm under the bonnet of the SWB Trafic, while sipping 7.3L-100km.

All variants drive the front wheels only and are equipped with the Extended Grip traction control mode that assists in slippery conditions.

Cargo space comes in at 5.2 cubic metres for the SWB, up to 6.0 cubic metres in the LWB, with total GVM ranging between 2960kg and 3070kg.

Like Express vans of yore, the new

version comes standard with dual sliding doors across the range, for enhanced practicality.

While Renault offers the Trafic in four-door Crew guise, the Express will only come in a two-door, threeseat set-up.

Standard safety kit for the Express extends to cruise control, hill start assist, rear park assist, driver blind spot mirror in the passenger sun-visor and five airbags. Dual-clutch versions also score a rearview camera, dusk-sensing headlights and rain-sensing wipers.

No pricing has yet been announced, however, punters can expect a similar asking price as the Trafic, which kicks off at $38,490 for the twin-turbo 103kW SWB grade, and tops out at $45,490 for the LWB 2.0-litre.

ON ITS WAY: The first Mitsubishi van in seven years will arrive in the form of a Renault Trafic-based Express.

Christian Devotions

Marking time.

There are many ways to mark the passage of time. E.g. Musicians use ‘Time Signatures.’ Historians use ‘Eras & Epochs.’ Nations have their ‘Dynasties.’ Genealogists mark time by the significant events of ‘Births, Marriages and Deaths.’ Farmers mark time by the ‘Seasons.’ There might even be a wall or board in your home that marked the passage of time with your children’s increasing height measurements! Your 2020 Calendar is a daily means to mark-off time. Thinking of eternal things, “How do you mark time?” St Luke teaches you to mark time by the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

Have you noticed that St Luke “keeps time” for only 23 out of his 24 chapters! After the penultimate time marker ‘of the Sabbath’ (Lk. 23:54, 56), all further time-marks relate back to the passage that begins anew with the words, ‘On the first day of the week...’ (24:1). Upon the dawn of this new day, everything that held eternal significance was changed forever. Time continued, but it was to continue in a new way for those who came to believe in the resurrection of Jesus! After the resurrection, Luke only employs transitional phrases that mark the continuation of this “new time of forevermore” (see 24:13, 36 & 51). He records time in a new way, because ‘The first day of the week...’ is the first unending day of the New Creation. Just like the seventh day in the Book of Genesis has only a morning and no evening (Gen 1:31b), so too does Easter Sunday only have a beginning, that is, its own genesis.

So there is “no time like the present” for witnessing to the risen Christ and for living the new life Jesus brings to the times we live in. So how will you mark time from now on? St Luke teaches you to mark time by the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

Isolation training a win for sisters

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

H

orsham’s Walsgott sisters are embracing the positives of online training despite disappointment over missing out on representing their state.

Ella, 16, and Sienna, 13, won selection to represent Team Vic at the 2020 Australian Schools Triathlon Championships in Hervey Bay in March.

Four days before they were due to leave, the event was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sienna had qualified for the School Sport Victoria team for the first time, with Ella named team captain.

The girls’ mother, Katie Walsgott, said she was not only proud of her daughters’ efforts to make the team, but the positive attitude they had maintained in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions.

Ella and Sienna are completing various training sessions at home and are using video communication platform Zoom to train with their Team Vic counterparts.

“For Ella, it’s not that different from normal,” Mrs Walsgott said.

“She actually has more input from the team than usual thanks to the Zoom sessions.

“The girls are getting together with their team-mates twice a week for Zoom cycling sessions.

“In some ways, social distancing is

providing benefits for remote people.

We will be putting our hands up at the end to see if it can continue. It would certainly be great for our girls in particular.”

Mrs Walsgott said the girls remained focused on their training, particularly Ella, who has her sights set on competing internationally.

“They have said the event is postponed, but I think it will get to the point where nothing can go ahead,” she said.

“The triathlon season is a bit different to other sports. Tryouts run from October to February, so there won’t be enough time to have the championships before they need to start tryouts for next year.

“It is disappointing for some of the people on the team, because they are in year 12 and it’s their last chance to compete in the schools competition.

Ella is in year 11 so she has another chance.

“Sienna is top-age in her division this year, which means she will be bottom age next year. She might need to wait another year for an opportunity or she might just need to train a bit harder.

“Sienna has lots of opportunities in front of her.”

Sienna completes five to six training sessions a week across the three disciplines – swimming, cycling and running – with Ella averaging 10.

FOCUSED: Horsham sisters Sienna, left, and Ella Walsgott are using a video communication platform to train with their Team Vic team-mates after winning selection to compete at national level.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

“Ella is obviously older so we need to make sure Sienna is not trying to keep up with her. We tailor her training to her level,” Mrs Walsgott said.

“At the moment, swimming is obviously a bit hard unless you have your own pool, but the girls are doing running and cycling.”

Mrs Walsgott said Team Vic was traditionally weaker in national triathlon events than teams from Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia.

“I think they benefit from the weather and can train year-round, whereas Victoria has a colder climate,” she

said. “The aim this year was for Team Vic to break into the top three overall – there are both individual and team events “For Sienna, we had no expectations. Being her first national event, it didn’t matter if she came last, it’s all about the experience.

“Once you get to national level there are much stricter rules and it’s more stressful, so it’s about getting that first competition under your belt.

“Ella competes in up to four national events a year, so she will just continue on with her training.”

Mrs Walsgott said Ella had her sights

set on competing internationally.

“There is an event in New Zealand Ella could have attended and there are opportunities for world championships, but they are for ages 15 to 19,” she said.

“Ella’s goal is to look at competing in a world championship when she is 18 or 19.

“People competing in triathlons are expected to peak in their mid-20s.

Any good coach looks long term.

“When Ella started triathlons she was given a 15-year plan, so her training plans have always been long term.

“There will be lots of opportunities for the girls when the world reopens and things go back to normal.

“For now it’s great that they are continuing on with their training and don’t have the attitude that there’s nothing to train for, so what’s the point?”

Mrs Walsgott said Ella and Sienna were both desperately missing netball, with Wimmera and Horsham District seasons on hold until at least the end of May. “They play for Horsham Saints and they love it,” she said.

“Sienna’s coach is doing Zoom training sessions with her netball team and we have a netball ring at home, so the girls are doing drills in the back yard.

“It’s Ella’s last year as a junior so she’s hoping to get some netball in.”

Ararat football breeding ground

P

lanning for Ararat Football Netball Club 150th anniversary celebrations next year has put into perspective just how influential the region has been in providing players for the VFL-AFL.

Club historian Mick Spalding has provided insight into this player depth by creating a list of prominent players as well as club exports who have gone on to play at the highest level.

The list will certainly take some beating and throws down the gauntlet to other clubs across the region in The Weekly Advertiser’s call for sporting lists.

For a start, Mr Spalding, himself an Ararat premiership player, has listed players who rose to prominence during Ararat’s long and colourful history.

These include – • Harry ‘Duxie’ Gibson, 68 games with Ararat 189709 and Most Brilliant Player in 1899, premierships in 1903, ’04, ’05, ’08, 41 games with South Melbourne 1904-06. Played with Ararat on Wednesdays and with Ballarat Imperials or South Melbourne on Saturdays.

• Garry Todd: 260 games from 1973-89, premierships in 1975, ’86; coach 1982, ’84-88, 100 goals in 1979, ’85, ’86.

• Perc Bushby: Premiership coach 1955, ’56, ’57, ’58.

• Austin ‘Whelan’ Carroll: More than 130 games and first 100-game player, 1898-1908, ’10-15, ’20-21.

Best all-round player 1906, captain in charge 1908, ’10-15, ’20, premierships 1903, ’04, ’05, ’08, ’11, ’12, ’14, ’20.

• Bill Smeaton: 113 games 1948-50, ’54-56, premierships in 1949, ’55, ’56, Wimmera league leading goal-kicker 1950, 120 goals, ’54 and ’55, 128 goals.

• Jim Bonner: 233 games, 1951-58, ’61-67, ’70, premierships in 1951, ’55, ’56, ’57 and ’58. Club best and fairest awards, 1955, ’63, ’64; league Toohey medal, 1963, Ararat captain-coach, 1981, ’62 and ’64.

Victory for Horsham owners Horsham owners Barry and Yvonne Dunn watched from afar as their low-flying four-year-old gelding Glenavril King strode to victory at Laidlaw Park, Stawell.

When Barry Dunn decided to have a spell away from the training game, Glenavril King moved to Allbenz Park Great West-

ern under the care of trainer Grant Campbell.

The change of scenery has produced immediate success, with the son of ill-fated stallion Courage Under Fire NZ posting two wins in nine days on the Stawell circuit.

Glenavril King’s record now stands at 21 starts for four wins, six minors and

stakes of $26,310. Racing in such a rich vein of form, Glenavril King should give the Dunns more reason to cheer during the next few weeks.

Harness racing, with strict industry restrictions, will return to Stawell on Sunday, May 10.

Crowd key to return T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he potential of Wimmera community football and netball to get underway at all this year is likely to hinge on statewide rules regarding crowds.

AFL Wimmera-Mallee manager Jason Muldoon said general consensus of community football administrators across the state was that crowds would be essential for competitions to go ahead.

He said it was a logical assumption to suggest that if crowds were unable to attend matches it would be almost impossible, logistically or financially, for games to start in 2020.

“Some clubs might be able to absorb financial costs but some clubs couldn’t and we’re not prepared to put the future of clubs at risk,” he said.

“There is little doubt there are going to be restrictions whatever happens and you have to ask what does that mean? Who do you let in and who polices it? Does someone stand on the gate with a counter? This is where it gets a bit murky.

“When you talk about four games of football and seven games of netball that’s a lot of people, all classed as necessary, that automatically have to be at one venue. It might be all that’s needed to put us over a limit.”

Mr Muldoon said whatever happened, the ability for community football and netball to start remained in the hands of health authorities.

“It will all depend on instructions – instructions from people who have managed circumstances pretty well so far,” he said.

He said the immediate future of community sport remained unknown.

“Community sport is important, but not only for the people who play,” he said.

“It is also important for the people who watch and are engaged by it.

“Players being out there is only one side of it. If you take away a crowd, you take a significant involvement part of the game away as well.

“If crowd numbers are under strict limits, there might be an opportunity for junior games – the kids would be suffering the most at the moment and the door might open for some social competition. But it might still be hard.”

Mr Muldoon said football and netball administrators had little option but to wait.

“We want to have plans in place but the reality is we can’t do anything until we know what we’re allowed to do – it’s as simple as that,” he said.

“When we know what time frames and parameters are involved we can get things ticking over and throw around ideas such as lightning premierships and so on.

“The pressure will come when the AFL starts playing. But the AFL is in a very controlled environment whereas community footy involves general people in the community.

It’s a long bow when comparing the two.”

AFL Wimmera-Mallee has cut Wimmera and Horsham District league club salary caps in half if a season does get underway.

Mr Muldoon confirmed clubs had endorsed the AFL Victoria recommendation.

“It’s just a plan at the moment for if we get going and we will adjust that according to how many games clubs get to play,” he said.

Football and netball activities across the region, including clubs returning to training regimes and revised home-and-away fixtures, are tentatively scheduled to get underway in the first week of June.

On track

Horsham’s Walsgott sisters, Sienna, left, and Ella, are embracing the positives of online training despite disappointment over missing out on representing their state.
