Opportunity awaits A

BY DEAN LAWSON

regional development leader has stressed a need for Wimmera-Mallee councils and progress groups to prioritise exploring ways to attract people and business to the region.

Western Victorian businessman Stuart Benjamin said circumstances unfolding in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic represented a rare socioeconomic opportunity for regional and

rural Victoria. But Mr Benjamin, Regional Development Victoria Grampians chairman, said timing was critical and councils, after the formalities of local government elections, needed to act quickly.

“The regions are facing a unique opportunity. For the first time in the 25 years I’ve been involved in regional development, regional Victoria has an advantage over metropolitan Victoria,” he said.

“All the signs are suggesting that Melbourne people, who have been sitting on their sofas during lockdown, are looking where else they can live. This is a golden opportunity for the regions to lure them out, but we need more effort from councils and industries such as the real-estate community.”

Mr Benjamin, whose personal businesses are already investing in the Wimmera and believe the outlook is

‘incredibly’ positive, said there was much more to the process than simply declaring ‘the doors are open’.

“We’ve talked for a long time about our cheap housing and wonderful lifestyle. But that has never been enough to turn around a relative decline in population numbers,” he said.

“We have to ask the question – and this is a big one for the Wimmera – why would someone relocate to Horsham, Stawell, Ararat, Nhill or War-

racknabeal, for example, when they can get all they want with a relatively short move to Ballarat or Bendigo?

“We have to come up with a realistic pitch that entices them to come out that bit further.”

Mr Benjamin said he believed a crucial part of the equation was establishing connections, through jobs, families, relatives and friends or via experiences and individual passions.

Meatworks in demand A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera meatworks managing director is confident a staged return to a full workforce will help meet demand in a peak processing period.

Abattoirs in regional and metropolitan Victoria can increase workforce capacity under the latest step of the state’s roadmap to recovery.

In early August, COVID-19 restrictions forced meatworks and distribution centres to reduce workforces to two-thirds to stem virus outbreaks.

Regional meat-processing facilities can now return to 90 percent capacity while Melbourne facilities can return to 80 percent.

Stawell and Ararat are home to the largest meat-processing facilities in the region.

Collectively the facilities, which primarily process lamb, employ up to 850 workers.

Stawell’s Frew Group managing director Robert Frew said his facility was forced to reduce its employees’ shifts to four per week to ensure everyone had enough hours during the lockdown period.

“We couldn’t have afforded to stay understaffed for much longer. It was very costly running at two-thirds of capacity,” he said.

“The past three or four months, people have been restricted with how much they can earn. It’s been tough.”

Mr Frew said it was crucial the processor could continue to support Stawell’s economy. He added that the lift to restrictions was ‘extremely’ timely. October and November represent the peak period for the lamb-meat industry.

Mr Frew said he expected about a 20 percent increase in lamb production this week.

“We’re usually doing 30,000 lambs a week around this time of year. We’ll be up to around 21,000 this week,” he said.

Despite restrictions easing, Mr Frew stressed the company could only increase its workforce capacity to about 75 percent.

“Trying to find an extra 80 people to employ is very difficult in this current environment because we can’t bring people from overseas,” he said.

“A lot of local people don’t like doing that type of manual work unless they have to.”

Major employer

Ararat Meat Exports is also one of the largest employers in Ararat.

Estimates are that meat processing and production in Ararat district contributed about $102-million to the city’s annual $1.6-billion economy.

Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said lifting abattoir restrictions represented a crucial step forward in the city’s economic recovery.

“It certainly lifts confidence in working towards COVID-normal operations. This will also help in retaining people in the town. We want to be able to keep people in our community,” she said.

Cr Armstrong said boosting workforce numbers would be important in keeping a supply chain open.

“Its position in agribusiness in our municipality is extremely important. It’s one step in the supply chain from paddock to plate,” she said.

“The State Government’s move to free up the workforce in meat-processing facilities and distribution centres is reflective of a downward trend in daily COVID-19 cases.”

Late yesterday, Victoria recorded 10 new cases of COVID-19 in the previous 24hour testing period.

Wimmera Health Care Group has also changed opening hours of its Read Street testing centre in response to fewer people seeking tests.

Testing is now available Monday to Friday, 1pm to 4pm, and 9am to noon on weekends.

Turn ‘angles into plans’ From page 1 “Why would someone want to relocate from Fitzroy or South Melbourne? It is highly unlikely that someone who has no connection to a region will take the huge risk of relocating,” Mr Benjamin said.

“They might do it if they were going to a job. But what else?

We need other angles and we need to get them into plans.

“What I’m calling for is for tourism, business and economic-development groups to be in a position to do everything they can to encourage ways of developing or encouraging connections and draw people out when they are allowed to under restrictions.

“This might be as soon as only four weeks. We need to then put on the biggest sales

pitch we’ve ever done. We really don’t have the luxury to wait until next year.

“The Wimmera can’t afford to miss an opportunity presented from a change in Victorian social sentiment. If people are looking for ways to escape Melbourne, the regions must give them good reasons to head their way.

“One of the great advantages the Grampians region has in local government is that it has a stable and highly capable group of chief executives who are ready to take up the challenge with their new councils.

“What we know is that if Melbourne continues to grow at triple the rate of regional Victoria, the regions will continue to have less representation.”

‘Consistency’ key for Conways Owners of an award-winning Horsham bakery nearing a half-century in business say consistency is the key to their success.

Tomorrow marks 45 years since Conway Pies started making a wide variety of ‘glorious and tasty’ pies and pastries for the region.

The second generation of business owners, husband and wife team Michael and Laura Conway, have managed Conways’ coffee shop, bakery, café and catering business since 2006.

Mrs Conway said the business owed its success to strong foundations dating back to its origins coupled with a team of dedicated employees.

“The Conway family have always been particular about the quality they put out.

That’s where the business has been so successful,” she said.

“We also have a great team behind us – that’s also been integral to our success.”

The Weekly Advertiser asked Mrs Conway about the ‘secret ingredients’ of the family’s selection of pies, which are renowned across the Wimmera and Mallee.

She said ‘raw ingredients all sourced locally’ was a major contributor to their pies’ deliciousness.

“Most importantly, what I think sets us

The story behind Conways starts in 1975, when Harry and Helen Conway bought Hopetoun Bakery.

In 1986, Harry’s love of meat pies led to the couple opening a small pie and sand-

wich shop in Horsham named Conway Pies. Eventually, the business outgrew its small digs and the family opened a bigger premises in a prime position further along Pynsent Street in 1999.

Michael and Laura re-branded the family business as ‘Conways’ in 2011, with the slogan, ‘great food made fresh’.

Harvest worth the wait I

BY DEAN LAWSON

t has taken five years, but Wimmera farmland devastated by fire is back producing flowers for the international export market.

Australian Wildflowers, which has its headquarters at Laharum and another farm at Lucindale in South Australia, lost 80 percent of its Mt Talbot farm when fire raced through Black Range State Park near Telangatuk in 2015.

At the time, the company had bought the property just before Christmas 2014, only to see it go up in flames the following month.

The significance of the first commercial pick of Geraldton wax flowers, which make up a large percentage of the crop, is far from lost on company director Jo Gardner.

“We lost about 80 percent of the farm and spent a fortune replanting it all and getting it operational again. Now it just looks amazing,” she said.

“The fire went through the guts of the farm. We didn’t lose any sheds but we lost the crop. It takes between five and seven years to get them established and this year’s commercial flower pick is the first at the site since the fire.”

The Australian Wildflowers farm at Mt Talbot covers about 182 hectares and about 90 percent of the property is planted out to wildflowers. A large percentage of the crop includes five key species of Geraldton wax, highly prized in the cut-flower industry.

Ms Gardner said a workforce of

HARD WORK PAYS OFF: Eh Doh Htoo Jah harvests thryptomene at Australian Wildflowers’ Mt Talbot farm.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER seven, all from the region’s Karen community, ran the farm and all were busy packing flowers for export to China.

“We’re in the process of assessing the extent of harvest at Mt Talbot but already have our international orders and they are all going to China. We’re bypassing a flooded domestic market for this product,” she said “Expectations are that our Mt Talbot team will hopefully be packing thousands of bunches of flowers throughout the season, which runs from now until Christmas.

“It’s nice to see a return for all the investment and being able to recoup some of the costs after the fire.

“We were devastated at the time and knew we had a huge challenge, so it’s nice to see that after five years all the work is going to pay off.”

Ms Gardner said Australian Wildflowers operations, which ‘went through the wringer’ when COVID-19 struck earlier this year, was on a general road to recovery.

“We’ve had to learn how to ‘pivot’,” she said.

“While the domestic market is returning to relative normality there are many fluctuations and markets are changing all the time and hard to predict. We have had to be versatile and adapt so it’s not so scary when we have to do it.”

Exhaustive efforts to modify workplaces and adjust production to meet demand earlier this year allowed the business to keep its 53-strong workforce.

Australian Wildflowers, which started in 2013 and develops, grows, cuts, prepares, packs and sells a range of Australian and South African flowers, all but came to a standstill during the first COVID-19 lockdown, experiencing zero trade for about five weeks.

But a major operations reshuffle and help from the Federal Government’s JobKeeper scheme provided an opportunity for the firm to stay afloat until the market showed signs of recovery.

Fees waived Northern Grampians Shire Council has declared a fee-exemption period for Open Air Permits to Burn between October 3 and 18.

An Open Air Permit to Burn is required to burn materials on shire land zoned residential, commercial or industrial outside the declared Fire Danger Period, and usually costs $53.

The council will waive fees for permits where the burn date is during the exemption period.

It will only waive the fee if the burn is carried out during the exemption period, and only if the application is made during that period.

The purpose of the fee-exemption period is to encourage residents to reduce the fuel load on their properties to minimise the risk of fires in the next Fire Danger Period.

Council chief executive Liana Thompson said the fee waiver was an important motivator.

“It won’t be long before fire season is upon us and the council sees this fee waiver as both an incentive for residents to clean up their properties and also an acknowledgment that times are quite tough,” she said.

“Any concessions we can give people at the moment to help them protect our shire is all part of making sure we are supporting our community “I encourage everyone to assess their properties for fire hazards now and take every possible step to reduce fuel loads while this waiver is in place.”

During this time, permit applications will still be required and applicants must allow up to five working days for the permit to be processed.

A Community Safety Officer will need to inspect the property before issuing a permit, and permits contain set conditions which people must adhere to during the burn period.

Residents having burns must ensure their fires are completely extinguished.

While the council has set the exemption-period dates, it can change or void them if the Fire Danger Period starts earlier than expected.

People can apply online at www.ngshire.vic. gov.au/fire or call 5358 8700 for more information.

EVERYTHING WE’RE DOING IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE Thank you Victoria.

As hard as this is, every sacrifice we’re making is making a difference.

But we can’t stop now, or lose everything we’ve worked for. We will get through this together.

Help for mental health

M

ember for Mallee Anne Webster has declared that getting a mental-health service equation right for Wimmera people remains one of her key goals.

Dr Webster said she would work on exploring the best ways to extend satellite services as part of a Federal Government HeadtoHelp Clinics program, to Horsham.

She acknowledged a need for improved mental-health services in the Wimmera and said the key was working with Western Victoria Primary Health Network to assess the best way forward.

Western Victoria Primary Health Network, established by the Federal Government in 2015, is one of six networks in Victoria. It covers 21 municipalities and has a core function to support general practice, commission or buy services and integrate services and systems.

“I keep saying that our postcode should

not determine our health and wellbeing,” Dr Webster said.

“One of my main goals is to ensure healthcare, which includes mental health, is improved significantly in my time in this role.”

Dr Webster confirmed last week that Murray Primary Health Network would support an enhanced satellite HeadtoHelp mental-health service in Mildura district.

“The Horsham area is also very much a focus and my hope is that it can run with it as well,” she said.

Dr Webster acknowledged latest developments fell short of supporting a Wimmera push for a mental-health crisis centre in Horsham.

But she added that moves forward might instead involve expanding existing services through Western Victoria Primary Health Network and in collaboration with Wimmera Health Care Group.

“They don’t want to duplicate or tread on

any valuable work that’s already happening in Horsham. People are exploring what exists and what needs to happen to help meet pressing needs,” she said.

“I will continue to advocate to support the primary health network and the hospital to analyse the best way forward for Horsham services to get up and running.

“I have received over 700 emails of personal stories of how restrictions have impacted people in my electorate, with a vast majority talking about mental-health concerns such as anxiety and depression.

“Regional communities need this service and I have been lobbying the Minister for Health to ensure that we do not miss out in Mallee.”

The Federal Government announced in August that 15 Victorian HeadtoHelp mental-health clinics would open to the public. Six regional clinics are in Warragul, Sale, Bendigo, Wodonga, Sebastopol and Norlane.

Road, bridge money A bridge and road north of Rainbow that play an important role in providing a transport link for industry and communities is set for a $2.14-million upgrade.

Albacutya Bridge and Albacutya Road, which have long been a consistent subject of debate and lobbying, is one of 20 projects across the federal Mallee electorate that will share in $290-million in national funding.

The funding comes under the fifth round of the government’s Bridges Renewal Program and the seventh round of a Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster said timing couldn’t be better for funding to establish better and safer bridges

and freight roads in the region.

“This vital funding will allow communities across Australia to fast-track their highest-priority infrastructure projects, providing a much-needed boost to local jobs and the economy,” she said.

The Henty Highway from Horsham to Lascelles has also attracted $2-million in funding.

Other successful Wimmera projects include: Lorquon Road, Jeparit $122,985; Kiata North Road $158,748; Horsham-Lubeck Road bridge $186,000; Drung Road $284,000; Minyip-Banyena Road structure $50,000; Harrow-Clear Lake bridge $210,567.

Paying tribute to ‘purple’ supporters Organisers of an ongoing Wimmera fight against cancer are encouraging businesses and householders across the region to show their support for a Paint the Town Purple promotion.

They are keen for people to display a poster that appears in today’s issue of The Weekly Advertiser to highlight Relay for Life and Cancer Council work and efforts in tackling the disease.

Horsham Paint the Town Purple co-ordinator Tami Lane said the idea was for people to display the poster in windows as part of ‘Paint the Town Purple’ during October.

“This year has been a year like no other for so many reasons. Having to cancel the Horsham relay on the day of the event devastated not only the teams and participants, but the committee who had worked tirelessly for a year,” she said.

Horsham and District Relay for Life committee members are also delivering thank-you certificates, personal messages and hand-made purple flowers to the 110 businesses that have been part of the event for the past five years.

“This year is about saying thank you,” Ms Lane said.

“It is also a reminder that this is an on-

Beware of threats in recovery period

A

s many of us start to tentatively breathe a little easier with the COVID-19 virus seemingly backing off towards a manageable level, we can’t afford to drop our guard.

It is a message in which we are well versed. Our political and health leaders have hammered the instruction over and over again during the pandemic.

It has heightened general awareness and armed with this new attention to detail we must ensure we spread our gaze across a wider front.

There is a pressing need for us all to be conscious of meeting other great threats to health and safety.

In our zest to make the most of regained freedoms as we head towards ‘COVID normal’, more traditional dangers are creeping along in the shadows of the pandemic.

The onset of warmer days and a noticeable increase in vegetation growth in response to consistent rain more than hints at a potentially dangerous fire season.

There is going to be plenty of fuel on the ground across the region and there are forecasts predicting long, hot

and dry periods during summer. Apart from the seasonal threat of dry-lightning storms, people are also going out and about enthusiastically pursuing all sorts of opportunities, which can also invariably lead to an increased fire threat.

We were relatively lucky in our part

of the world when fires devastated much of eastern Victoria last summer.

We had a few outbreaks but nothing on the scale that burnt out so many communities.

But we know too well what fires can do and it is critical everyone across the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District remains vigilant in ensuring we avoid a summer of fire.

The last thing any of us want after a crippling and frustrating 2020 is to finish it off with back-to-back disasters.

And as more people get back on the move and back on the roads, a poten-

tial increase in road trauma is another obvious threat. Let’s be sensible.

It will be so easy to throw our cares to the wind in all we do if or when the pandemic passes. But it will be in this period that many of us will be at our most vulnerable.

That’s not to suggest diminishing a need for us to get on with celebrating life. The virus has more than galvanised thoughts on making the most of what we have.

It’s more about being wary of another adjustment period and to continue to be safe.

Markets make a return Organisers of community markets across the region are back pencilling their events into calendars with the gradual easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

Haven Market, at Haven Recreation Reserve on the outskirts of Horsham, is on this Saturday from 9am. Organisers are expecting about 50 stalls.

Dimboola Store will host its inaugural Dimboola Jellex Market on Sunday. The market will be on a vacant block next to Dimboola IGA from 9am.

TRIBUTE: National Police Remembrance Day looked a little different this year, but COVID-19 gathering restrictions did not stop people pausing to remember the dedicated men and women who have died serving and protecting their community. The national event coincides with Blue Ribbon Day. Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham branch members joined police and other Wimmera community leaders at Horsham Police Station to commemorate the 170 Victoria Police officers who have died in the line of duty. Victoria Police leaders hosted an online memorial service yesterday, which is available online at police.vic.gov.au for the next week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Voting advice

SIR, – I commend the candidates who have nominated for the Ararat council election in October. They have taken the first step in becoming a councillor and representing their community over the next four years – no small undertaking.

For voters making up their minds how to assess these candidates, I offer the following observations, drawn from my involvement in local government during the past 35 years, originally while working in local government and then as a councillor.

• Primarily a councillor represents everyone in the community – rural, urban, general ratepayers, residents and businesses large and small.

• Ararat Rural City Council has a 20202021 budget of $32-million and all councillors will need the financial competency to understand and analyse what is the right budget for the municipality.

• Councils have a myriad of policies coun-

cillors need to review and understand, covering such diverse areas as transparency, communications, interaction with the media, sexual harassment and many, many more.

• More than 200 services are provided, and councillors need to be across this diversity which includes waste management, emergency management, roads and bridges, libraries and sporting facilities.

• Councils support economic development and you need to be confident your favoured candidate is comfortable talking to the largest and smallest employer, whether urban, rural or in the villages.

• Advocacy – so much depends on the representations made by your council to all levels of government. Do you see your preferred candidates as a passionate advocate in seeking funding grants from politicians in Canberra or Spring Street?

• There is little to gain in supporting a candidate standing on a single issue that may

well be important to you. As a councillor they only have one vote and need to convince the majority. Four years is a long time to have a councillor whose issue has been voted on in the first year.

• Beware a potential councillor who sets out to oppose motions. They can fulfil an important role in creating debate, but in the end the majority vote wins and opposing a motion just to be devil’s advocate is not productive and can be time-wasting.

• Most importantly, councillors need the ability to talk to the community at all levels.

Understanding the community is essential when dealing with decisions made at the council table.

Good luck in choosing your candidates and good luck to the candidates who have put their hand up. If elected they will have a remarkably interesting four years ahead of them.

rarat mayor Jo Armstrong will seek reelection to Ararat Rural City Council in an effort to continue to help the municipality realise its potential.

Cr Armstrong said the council had come a long way in the past two years.

“I am seeking re-election because the hard work done now is bringing rewards that indicate how much more will be achieved with a capable group of councillors representing us,” she said.

“My first term as a councillor is marked by the high value I place on trust and integrity. Our council’s relationship with our community is increasingly respectful and I believe in building relationships to bring about opportunities that directly benefit the people who live, work and play in the several communities we have across the Ararat municipality.

“Not only do I value community engagement, but I also understand the importance of teamwork within the chamber. Effective councillors will work together to build strategies that ensure all in our community are considered when planning and allocating resources.”

Cr Armstrong said strong relationships were essential to how Ararat Rural City did business.

“The strength of our rural-urban connection is vital to everybody’s social and economic wellbeing,” she said.

“Developing initiatives to further agribusiness, industry, tourism and hospitality are the key to growing our municipality, particularly for COVID-19 recovery.

“We need more housing; better infrastructure will generate more jobs and bring income to our local economy. A cohesive community goes a long way to attract investor confidence, as well as state and federal government support – factors which will determine the success of our economic development strategy.

“It has been a privilege to serve as mayor for the past year and I am proud of Ararat Rural City Council’s significantly improved service to communities. Greater efficiency means this year’s budget included a one percent cut to rate revenue without compromising service delivery.

“Asset renewal has improved dramatically with our vital roads network properly cared for to benefit all road users.”

Cr Armstrong said she would help the council to continue to improve its economic sustainability while facilitating growth across Ararat district.

“We need councillors who are strategic thinkers, understand financial and asset management, and practise good governance,” she said.

“I have put considerable effort into getting the groundwork right and hope you recognise my ability by voting 1 for Jo Armstrong.”

Candidate: Energy crucial

Full-Time Role

Armstrong keen to push forward

Hindmarsh Shire Council candidate Wendy Bywaters believes the future success of the Wimmera depends on ‘new energy, fresh ideas and strong leadership’.

Ms Bywaters said she was excited at the possibility of working with a diverse council that supported and well represented its residents.

She added that the shire had several female candidates and when women supported each other, ‘incredible things happen’.

“I am committed to seeing Nhill and our farming district thrive; a community where all residents are heard and valued, where we have well-maintained roads, amenities, infrastructure and with services of a high standard,” she said.

“I am dedicated to an inclusive community, caring for seniors and families, while providing opportunities for our youth. For 10 years, I have been a mentor and support for our Karen residents and will continue to advocate for Nhill’s migrant groups.

“Volunteering is vital, and I have been involved in the Mates Mentoring, L2P Learner Driver Program, a board member for the Centre of Participation, president of the Local Learning and Employment Network, and I have fought for literacy resources and services to improve local early learning outcomes.

“As a graduate of the Wimmera Development Association Business Leaders Program, and having experience running a successful farm-machinery business, bed and breakfast, as well as part ownership of Nhill IGA, I have a thorough understanding of the needs of rural business.

“With my knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm,

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Wendy Bywaters I have a vision to nurture local innovation and develop social and economic growth for Nhill.

“Serving as a councillor from 2012-2016, including two years as deputy mayor, has given me a detailed understanding of local government.

“During this time, I played an active role in securing permanent water for Nhill Lake, establishing the youth council and obtaining funding for the early years centre.

“I believe that together, we can overcome challenges and create new opportunities, develop local ideas and possibilities while retaining our heritage and rural lifestyle.

“If elected, I promise everyone from the young to the elderly will be considered when using my influence and exercising my all-important vote.”

A voice for all

J

eparit’s Brett Ireland is certain his experience across many industries will allow him to be a solid representative for his community if he is elected as a Hindmarsh Shire councillor.

The hospitality-retail manager turned agricultural worker will vie for a seat in the north ward at the 2020 local government elections.

Mr Ireland is determined to help promote the ‘country lifestyle’ to encourage more people to live, work and visit Hindmarsh towns.

“Country living can be as big or as small as you want it to be,” he said.

“Some of my key objectives would be to stop any further erosion of our towns, businesses and facilities and to promote projects which encompass rewarding residents, actively promoting tourism and to enhance and increase population of our towns.”

Mr Ireland has had many experiences while living and working in Hindmarsh Shire, extending from hospitality and business management through to agriculture.

He was attracted to the region seven years ago from Mornington Peninsula after seeing potential to purchase the Jeparit newsagency.

The one-stop shop, which also features a café and hardware shop, later merged with the town’s supermarket and still serves the town of 300 people.

On moving to the region, Mr Ireland wasted little time getting involved in the Jeparit community, where he also gave his time to volunteer on a progress committee.

“I have been vice-president of Jeparit Town Committee for six years and have had numerous interactions with councillors and shire staff alike,” Mr Ireland said.

“I feel this gives me a solid grounding to become a voice for the community.”

Mr Ireland said giving time to community groups and clubs was ‘crucial’ to the sustainability of rural towns.

Brett Ireland

Jane Goninon He said he wanted to encourage all residents to consider getting involved in clubs, groups and volunteering opportunities.

“I feel one of the biggest challenges is to promote the country as a quiet ‘idyllic’ lifestyle, but also encourage new residents to be involved in keeping the clubs, organisations and town traditions alive,” he said.

“The country is unique in that you can become involved in projects like designing new town entrance signs, planning town functions or even fighting fires – or alternatively just living a peaceful retiring lifestyle.”

Mr Ireland has been working in the agricultural industry on a farm west of Jeparit for the past four years. He said he was determined to be voice for farmers in local government.

“As with our broad area and mix of residents, I intend to listen and acknowledge the farming community in respect to their concerns in regard to roads, grading, tree trimming and intersection vision,” he said.

“I feel that as they form a large part of our rateable figure, they deserve strong representation.

“I also look forward to not only forming a strong bond with my fellow north-ward councillor but all Hindmarsh councillors in decision-making for the future of our shire.”

Business owner stands Owner-operator of Mountainside Wines at Mount Cole Jane Goninon has announced intentions to stand as a candidate for Ararat Rural City Council in next month’s local government elections.

Ms Goninon said that as a resident of the area for the past six years she had enjoyed ‘every moment’ of her time living in the region.

“As a farmer and small-business owner offering a wine tourism destination, it is my passion to see the Ararat Rural City Council area grow and thrive,” she said.

Ms Goninon said this meant ensuring meaningful engagement between the council and the wider community, increased social and residential housing, and greater invest-

ment across the entire council area.

She said attracting new residents and industries to the region increased the number of jobs and in turn the economic growth in the region.

“Employment is a cornerstone for our community and offers our young people meaningful pathways for success,” she said.

“New ideas and reinvigoration are vital to ensure the growth of Ararat and surrounding areas and I believe I can contribute to the community as a councillor and particularly so in these challenging times.

“Prior to moving to Warrak, I spent more than 20 years working with volunteers in aged care and welfare in not-

for-profit organisations. My work involved ensuring those in need of assistance received appropriate products and support services in a timely fashion.

“Volunteers were a mainstay of support provided and vital to the health and wellbeing of those they assisted.

This work has provided me with a sound knowledge of frameworks and how to successfully navigate systems to achieve outcomes.

“I believe my work history and experience makes me a suitable candidate to become a councillor who can act as a liaison with the community, presenting the views of residents and ratepayers to the council.”

Burglary, theft warning

SETTING A BENCHMARK: Horsham’s Bull and Mouth publican Simon Mitchell wants the hotel to be a ‘driving force’ in providing high-quality live entertainment once the state returns to ‘COVID normal’.

Picture: DYLAN DE JONG

Music on agenda H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham publican Simon Mitchell is determined his business will set a benchmark in hotel dining and entertainment when the Wimmera and Victoria emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Mitchell, whose Bull and Mouth Hotel is among recipients of State Government funding to support venues that promote live entertainment, said he looked forward to a return to normal.

He said while the $13,000 grant fell short of going anywhere near what the pandemic had cost the business, any financial help was welcome.

“From our perspective, we’ve invested heavily in making the Bull and Mouth Hotel up to a standard befitting of a regional centre that is obviously on the move,” he said.

“And when we emerge from all of this we hope to be a driving force in providing high-quality live entertainment.

“We’ll take what we can get at this stage. It’s been very tough but we have to look forward.

“The financial cost of the pandemic, especially on our industry, has been enormous and hopefully everyone, from the average pub-meal lover to the person who loves to let their hair down to some live music, understands how tough it has been.”

The Bull and Mouth Hotel was one of more than 100 live-music venues across the state to receive grants through a $3-million Victorian

Music Industry Recovery program. The program offers grants of between $4000 and $50,000 to support artists, managers, promoters, booking agents, road crews and other workers to keep creating music, undertake professional and business training and develop COVID-safe ways of working.

Horsham’s Bull and Mouth Hotel has evolved into a standout entertainment venue through a dedicated effort to maintain a pub-music tradition forged over many years and now ingrained in regional Victorian culture.

“Most who know us would be fully aware of our commitment to provide live entertainment and that is only part of an overall package we will offer into the future,” Mr Mitchell said.

“While the funding from the government falls well short of the financial hardship we and everyone else has experienced, it has least recognised that our hotel is one of the homes of live music in the Wimmera.

“We look forward to the time when we can get back to normal and everyone can come in, enjoy a cool drink, a good meal and some good music.

We all need some respite.”

The grant program supports venues which have been closed since March, to cover overheads and put COVID-safe measures in place.

Under Victoria’s roadmaps for reopening, indoor live-music venues can reopen at the ‘last step’ with density quotients and patron caps in place.

Patron caps will lift when the state moves to ‘COVID normal’.

Burglary and theft offences are on the rise across the Wimmera with police calling for residents to take steps to help keep their homes and belongings secure.

Police in the region have reported an increase in crimes such as theft of fuel, phones, power tools, cash and credit cards and household electrical items such as computers or tablets.

Western Region Division Four Acting Inspector Brendan Broadbent said Victoria Police would target and detect offenders but there were several things people could do to keep their homes and properties secure.

“With people now able to leave their homes across the Wimmera, it’s a timely reminder that there might be opportunities for people to break in,” he said.

“We each have a role to play when it comes to making our homes, workplaces and neighbourhoods safer.

“It’s important to lock windows and doors, even when you are at home, because these are the most common entry point for burglars.

“Reporting as soon as you can also gives police the best opportunity to locate offenders, recover stolen property and keep everyone safe.

“Most importantly, if you are home

FIVE-DAY forecast

when someone breaks in, always remember that the safety of yourself and others is more important than any possession.

“Find a safe place and call triple zero.”

Mr Broadbent recommended that in efforts to secure homes and vehicles, people should follow safety tips – • Install good-quality locks on doors and windows.

• Lock all windows and doors, even when at home – unlocked side and rear doors are the most common entry points for burglars.

• Remove valuable items from plain sight – particularly car keys, wallets and cash. Make your house look occupied at all times. For example, ask a neighbour to bring in your mail and bins if you are away for a while.

• Join your local Eyewatch Facebook page and be an active part of crime prevention in your community.

More safety tips are available online at www.police.vic.gov.au/home-andproperty.

Anyone who is a victim of burglary can call the Police Assistance Line on 13 14 44 and make a report. In an emergency, call triple zero. sponsored by

Action plan underway

We’re extending the JobKeeper Payment until 28 March 2021.

The Australian Government is extending the temporary JobKeeper Payment to the end of March 2021. From 28 September, businesses must meet the turnover test and submit their declarations by the 14th of each month.

There will be two new payment rates – one for those who work more than 20 hours per week in the relevant period, and another for those who work less. The employee eligibility date has also changed to 1 July, meaning some businesses could claim for more staff.

It’s part of our plan to keep business in business, and Australians in jobs.

unicipal efforts are underway in Northern Grampians Shire to build an ‘evidence base’ for an economic development study and action plan.

Northern Grampians Shire Council is working on background information following the appointment and initial meetings of a project steering committee.

Council chief executive Liana Thompson said desktop analysis and investigation into the Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan 2021-31 had provided insight into industry performance, COVID impacts and economic trends.

“The investigation and analysis phase is about understanding the make-up of our economy and community pre COVID-19, and what impact COVID-19 is having,” she said.

“Findings from the data and document review have been compiled as a starting point. We expect that the real insight will come through engaging with industry sectors and the wider community.”

The committee is inviting Northern Grampians residents, business owners and employees to contribute towards the qualitative research process by filling out the plan’s business and community questionnaire online. It is also invited people to register their interest in one-on-one interviews with the project manager.

Ms Thompson said findings of the research would help inform the committee when drafting the strategy.

She said the committee would later invite the community to provide feedback on the draft plan.

People can visit council webpage www.ngshire. vic.gov.au/economic-development to fill out the online questionnaire before October 14.

They can also register interest in participating in a one-on-one interview.

Tender awarded Ballarat firm MKM Constructions has won the tender for the design and construction of Lord Nelson Park Multipurpose Sporting Facility in St Arnaud.

Northern Grampians Shire Council announced the tender at its latest meeting. The tender is a two-stage process. Stage one is design of the facility and stage two is the construction.

The project will lift park facilities to a new level to meet required standards for many types of sporting and community use.

A new commercial kitchen and indoor and outdoor social spaces will make the facility suitable for gatherings and events.

A stipulation for new unisex sports change rooms and the establishment of female-friendly change facilities is an essential part of ‘making the facility a modern, inclusive complex’.

The amenities upgrade will also accommodate mixed-gender umpiring teams as well as trainerfirst-aid rooms and rooms with all-abilities access.

Council chief executive Liana Thompson said she was pleased to see the tender process complete and was looking forward to the project starting.

orsham Fishing Competition organisers hope the annual competition can still proceed in March next year and provide social and economic stimulus for the community.

But the committee has flagged that without additional ‘hands on deck’, a 2021 event and the long-term prospects of the competition were at risk.

Committee president Adele Rohde has called on the Horsham community to come forward to help with planning for a COVID-safe Horsham Fishing Competition.

“We’re in the unfortunate position where some of our region’s most valuable and important events have had to

be cancelled this year and organising committees are already making tough decisions ahead of 2021,” she said.

“While we completely understand their reasoning for cancelling, we also recognise the significant role events play in drawing visitors to our region and generating income for our local businesses.

“We are hoping that with the cancellation of events and temporary hold on some activities and clubs might mean that people find themselves with some extra time on their hands and may be able to provide support.”

Street Ryan research reports have consistently found that Horsham Fishing Competition injects more than

Improved access to art Co-ordinators of an Ararat art gallery are giving the public a taste of the gallery’s collection during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Highlights of the Textile Art Museum Australia, TAMA, collection will be projected in the gallery’s foyer window on Vincent Street every night from 7pm.

The selection of images showcases a snapshot of TAMA’s sub-collections, including the Lady Barbara Grimwade Costume Collection, the Art of the Japanese Package, Lionel Lindsay prints and the Frances Burke Collection.

All the images projected were created through funding under Creative Victoria’s Regional Digitisation Roadshow, where the gallery’s 1200-piece collection was individually photographed in 2019.

Since this project started, staff have been working to ensure all licensing requirements are met.

Digitisation support officer Katy Mitchell said the aim was to provide free online access to the collections both domestically and across the globe.

“It’s quite easy, especially in large collections, for works to get forgotten – there will

still be works that likely don’t see the light of day for decades,” she said.

“I certainly know there are some works that I’ve been looking at licences for recently that haven’t been exhibited for about 30 years.

“Being able to share these works online really helps to share an artist’s legacy. These works don’t get forgotten.”

Ms Mitchell said she hoped when all images were available to view online it would help generate more public interest in the gallery.

“Once we have the works photographed and we have the copyright licences in place we will publish the works on the new Victorian Collections website, which is undergoing redevelopment at the moment,” she said.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison said the gallery team had worked hard to maintain the collections.

“People may not realise the work that has gone into creating this project and how much effort and diligence was required to ensure they meet all copyright requirements,” he said.

“About 450 pieces of the work in the gallery need licensing, which is quite an undertaking.”

“Every option is on the table. We’re considering changing the format of the competition to focus on length instead of weight, getting rid of the stakes, reducing the prize list and giving more opportunities for contestants to win prizes by chance.

“Our meeting dates and locations are having to be quite fluid at the moment given current restrictions so if anyone is interested in lending a hand, they should email info@horshamfishingcomp.com.au for more information.”

‘These animals mean everything’ A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

n Ararat man with a passion for teaching others the wonders of Australian wildlife has vowed to keep his business alive despite economic hardship.

Jamie Lind is among thousands of Victorian sole traders who have either stopped business or are operating in a limited capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The wildlife educator runs a mobile zoo service with his wife Kim. The pair travels across the Wimmera-Mallee to schools, aged-care homes, field days and agricultural shows to educate the public about native animals.

As a business that relies on gatherings of large people to make an income, the husband and wife team have had to seek alternative work during the pandemic.

And although Mr Lind was eligible for the Federal Government’s JobKeeper program, he said the weekly payments of $750, now cut to $600, fell short of the money required to feed and care for more than 160 native animals such as snakes, crocodiles,

FURRY FRIENDS: Ararat wildlife educator Jamie Lind with son Jobe and Molly the wombat.

Picture: DYLAN DE JONG lizards and marsupials. The JobKeeper rate was reduced on Monday.

“The feed and upkeep for the animals works out to be about $4500 a month,” Mr Lind said.

“The animals all have very specific diets and a lot of them, mainly the reptiles, require a lot of heating, so our

power bill can be upwards of $4000 a quarter.

“We didn’t mind initially because we had money behind us. I thought we should be able to get by. But as the expenses went on, six months later our finances were ruined.”

All Victorian sole traders were left

without any additional support up until September.

Earlier this month, the State Government announced a $100-million injection for an estimated 33,000 sole traders who were previously excluded from a Business Support Fund package.

Sole traders working in tourism, culture, entertainment, events, sport and recreation who were tenants or licensees in a commercial premises could be eligible for up to $3000.

However, Mr Lind’s business failed to meet the criteria.

“There’s no help at all. JobKeeper does give you a wage, but it just doesn’t match up with my expenses,” he said.

Mr Lind said he obtained a wildlife licence at 16, but never thought he could make a living from working with animals.

He turned his love for Australia’s native animals into a sustainable business more than eight years ago.

“This is my dream job – I couldn’t believe I was getting paid to do it. To start with, it wasn’t really an income source,” he said.

“It was just a passion from a young

age. There’s just so many facts people don’t know about our native animals.

“I have a real passion for saving wildlife, but also getting up close to them and learning what their key roles are.”

Mr Lind said he would push to ensure the survival of his business.

“These aren’t just farm animals.

They are our pets – they live among us. We spend hours and hours of time with these animals every day,” he said.

“I don’t want to give them up, this is my life. I’d feel like I failed if I gave up on this.”

Mr Lind said he would look to smaller events when restrictions eased.

“If we don’t come up with a vaccine, how can we have ‘COVID normal?’

Events need a lot of people to come to make money, you’re not going to make money off a crowd of 20,” he said.

“I got a good tax return and decided to buy my other business back – I used to do jumping castles.

“I’m hoping I might be able to get by on small events such as birthday parties to stay afloat.”

ember for Ripon Louise Staley believes a rise in crime statistics in Ararat and Northern Grampians municipalities reflects the State Government’s inability to keep people safe.

She said both had an increase in crime despite COVID-19 restrictions making it hard for people to leave their homes.

She said figures from the year to June 2020 showed crime rose in Ararat district by 6.9 percent from the previous year.

Figures showed that rise at eight percent in Northern Grampians.

“Despite restrictions people imposed in March that limited travel, kept people in their homes and were designed to keep Victorians safe, these latest crime figures show that Labor is completely unable to get a handle on crime, even in a pandemic,” Ms Staley said.

“In this period, car theft in Ararat went up by 53 percent, burglaries went up 17 percent and drug possession went up by 47 percent.

“Car theft in Northern Grampians went up by 31 percent, criminal damage went up 18 percent and shoplifting increased by a staggering 117 percent.

“There was also an extremely concerning increase of family violence offences in Northern

Grampians, which went up by 19 percent.

“I am worried about this increase in family-violence offences at a time when many women feel they are unable to leave their homes to seek help or flee from violent situations.”

Failure

Ms Staley said figures showed that since the end of 2014, when Premier Daniel Andrews came to power, crime was up in Ararat by 36 percent.

This included an increase of 79 percent in thefts in that time.

She said crime was up in Northern Grampians from 2014 by 15 percent. This included an increase of 66 percent in burglaries.

“At a time when Victoria is enduring a second wave of COVID-19 due to the bungled hotel quarantine program and inadequate contact tracing, people need to feel safe in their homes,” Ms Staley said.

“And yet, these figures show that for many in Ararat and Northern Grampians their home is not a refuge as Labor fails to stop crime getting worse and worse.”

Ms Staley said crime overall was up six percent in Victoria in the year to June 2020 and up 19 percent since Mr Andrews was elected.

Diggin’ in to make a difference A former Stawell resident is ‘diggin’ in’ deep to help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness across Melbourne.

Former Stawell Secondary College student Mitchell Collins started his Diggin’ In charity in May this year to raise money for people experiencing homelessness and their dogs.

While working and studying at university in the city, Mr Collins felt compelled to help after seeing the first-hand effects of people sleeping rough.

He noticed people he stumbled across were often alongside their furry ‘loyal companion’ and could not bear the sight of them both going cold and hungry.

“I couldn’t begin to imagine how much of a difference it makes having a dog by their sides,” he said.

“Unconditional love is what dogs give you. You can just tell by the way they talk about their dogs that they absolutely love them.”

Earlier this year, Mr Collins, 23, strapped on a backpack loaded with tinned dog food, worming tablets, dog jackets and face masks and hit the streets to donate the items to people experiencing homelessness.

“I’d walk around and keep tabs on the areas where people would commonly be. I’d go around a couple of times a week, give them a supply of dog food and have a chat with them,” he said.

“Often people who are experiencing homelessness have very little, if anything – a dog is the most important thing in the world to them.”

Mr Collins said donating the items himself was also an effective way to start a conversation with people who were often forgotten about.

ALL PAWS IN: Itsa Steel business owner Veronica Monaghan, right, with Mia the chihuahua and employee Josh Collins with Meenah the fox terrier.

Picture: DYLAN DE JONG “When I engage with people, sometimes they’re even a little surprised that someone is talking to them,” he said.

“The people I’ve engaged with have been as nice as anyone I’ve ever met.

I think there might be a common misconception that people experiencing homelessness don’t talk, but they’re people just like anybody else.”

He has set up a GoFundMe page, au.gofundme.com/f/dig-in-donations, and partnered with youth homelessness support service The Living Room.

He is seeking donations and expressions of interest to form partnerships in regional Victoria. His first rural partnership is with Stawell steel manufacturing business Itsa Steel.

Dog lovers and business owners Mick and Veronica Monaghan heard about

Diggin’ In from their employee Josh Collins, Mitchell’s brother.

Mrs Monaghan said without hesitation, they set up a ‘Diggin’ In’ money tin to encourage customers to donate directly to the cause.

“We’ve got one rescue dog we got from Phoenix Animal Rescue at Horsham. There’s lots of rescue groups for dogs and I’d never given it a thought about how those experiencing homelessness care for their dogs,” she said.

“Knowing their owners would be putting their animals first, there’s the problem of both of them being hungry.

“We wanted to contribute, so we made a donation to the GoFundMe page and set up a donation tin at our business.”

Help on hand for businesses West Wimmera Shire Council staff members have been visiting hospitality businesses across the shire to discuss ways to reopen their doors.

Under latest State Government COVID-19 rules, hospitality businesses in regional Victoria are allowed to reopen with patron limits.

Restrictions allow for restaurants and cafes to have up to 20 people indoors – 10 in each space – and up to 50 people outdoors.

Council staff have in particular been helping businesses with liquor-licence extensions and the hiring of outdoor furniture.

Chief executive David Leahy said the council was covering the hire cost of outdoor equipment, if required, for businesses until they were in a position to purchase their own.

He said the council was also

helping businesses extend their liquor licencing to footpaths and new outdoor dining areas.

“We are providing businesses with a permission letter, which will allow them to get a temporary permit to extend their red line. This permit will last until June 2021,” Mr Leahy said.

Businesses can apply for a $5000 State Government grant to help with reopening and council staff are providing business owners with information about this process.

“We want to see as many businesses as possible open up and return to some sort of normality,” Mr Leahy said.

“It is now up to our residents to go out and support these businesses where possible to ensure our communities continue to thrive.”

Business leaders requiring more information can call the council on 13 99 72.

The donation is part of a $235,000 commitment towards the equipment. The branch has donated $120,000 as part of this project.

East Grampians Health Service is undertaking a $7.4-million redevelopment of theatre, medical imaging and pathology areas of the service.

Part of the redevelopment will be named Blue Ribbon Wing to recognise the significant contribution of the foundation and the Ararat branch.

Since 2002 when the Ararat branch was established, it has raised more than $900,000 for the health service, with a significant portion of this donation spe-

cifically for the medical imaging department. Some medical-imaging equipment is coming to the end of its life and will require replacement during the few next years.

Redevelopment funding will not include replacement of major equipment.

Foundation Ararat branch president Terry Weeks said the branch was pleased to be handing over another cheque towards the purchase of a new x-ray machine.

“This new x-ray machine will be a vital addition to the newly redeveloped radiology area of East Grampians Health Service and we look forward to completing our commitment to this project,” he said.

“While we were unable to run our major fundraiser for the year, the annual Gala Night of Nights, we will continue to raise funds for this equipment and are in early planning stages for the annual Grampians Ride to Remember on February 7

next year, which will go ahead subject to COVID-19 restrictions, as well as next year’s Gala Night on May 28.”

East Grampians Health Service chief executive Andrew Freeman thanked Ararat branch members for their latest donation.

“The Ararat branch is one of our significant partners and we are grateful for their ongoing support of our health service over the past 18 years,” he said.

“Without this support, the redevelopment of many areas of our health service would not have been possible, nor would the purchase of significant items of equipment.

“The community’s ongoing and enthusiastic support of Blue Ribbon Foundation events is also appreciated.”

With fundraising events cancelled for the remainder of the year, anyone keen to donate to the Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat branch can go to website www.remember. org.au/donate.

Farmers: Regions primed to lead

V

ictorian farming’s peak body has reaffirmed a view that regional Victoria is ideally positioned to help lead the state on economy recovery.

But Victorian Farmers Federation wants state and federal governments ‘to enable the thinking and policy needed’ to support growth.

VFF president and Wimmera farmer David Jochinke said despite the challenges agriculture and the regions continued to face, regional Victoria had the opportunity to lead the state’s economic recovery as COVID-19 restrictions eased.

“As farmers, we’re still awaiting the Agriculture Workers’ Code to be implemented and have very real concerns of the impact on our livestock industry in the midst of restrictions placed on our meat-processing facilities,” he said.

“We do, however, have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revive regional Victoria and help lead the state from its economic woes.

“Of course our health must always remain our top priority and we need to ensure we continue practising COVIDsafe measures. But we also need to look forward to the future.”

Mr Jochinke said the VFF was calling for a change in government thinking and policy to enable the regions to be a vehicle for economic growth and genuine investment in critical infrastructure.

“Regional Victoria is in a much more advanced stage of COVID recovery than Melbourne. Now is the opportunity for governments to invest in the regions to help power Victoria’s economic recovery,” he said.

“There’s an undeniable city and country

divide in infrastructure and services such as roads, rail, telecommunications, health and education.

“If we can get commitment from government to deliver a standard for all Victorians, the liveability of the regions will attract community and economic growth.

“Our message to the Victorian and federal governments is the regions can’t wait for Melbourne to catch up. The time to entice growth in the regions and help us recover is now.

“COVID-19 has shown the resilience of regional Victoria. The upside of getting the regions up and running initially is enormous, not just for agriculture, but for Victoria as a whole.

“The longer we wait to do this, the longer the road we have to economic recovery.”

PARADE: Rural Northwest Health aged-care residents enjoyed drive-by visits from community members at the weekend. Left, Winnie Appledore is all rugged up to greet visitors alongside support worker Leanne Bennett, and above, community members complete a lap to say hello to residents.

Drive-by visits a delight for seniors Warracknabeal and Hopetoun community came out in force on Saturday to show Rural Northwest Health senior residents how much they care.

Aged-care residents sat at the Hopetoun and Warracknabeal centre car parks while family and friends drove past to say hello.

This gave residents a chance to see their loved ones for the first time in months.

More than 70 cars took the time to drive past with the appearance of a vintage car providing a major highlight for Hopetoun seniors.

Health service clinical services director Wendy James said it was fantastic to

see smiles on the faces of residents who participated.

“Due to visitor restrictions our residents have not seen many people for quite some time. Saturday gave them the opportunity to get out of the facility, see a range of people and enjoy something different,” she said.

“One resident mentioned to me that whoever organised it is to be congratulated.”

The health service was inspired by Boort District Health, which had a driveby parade for its 25 residents earlier this month.

Leisure and lifestyle team leader Carley Tong, who organised the event, said the

team at RNH thought it was a fantastic opportunity for the residents to interact with other people from a safe distance.

“As a first-time event I feel it was very successful,” she said.

“The residents absolutely loved it.

However, if we run another one, we will look to reduce the duration down to half an hour to get the most enjoyment for our residents.”

She said an idea for drivers to pop a teddy bear in their car was embraced with some creative ideas appearing.

She said many community members took the time to complete several laps so they could chat to all the residents as they drove by.

Artist set to start on Goroke silo

W

est Wimmera Shire is a step closer to joining the WimmeraMallee’s Silo Art Trail, with painting set to start on GrainCorp silos at Goroke.

New Zealand-born artist Geoffrey Carran will paint three silos at the GrainCorp site in the town.

Carran, who now lives between Apsley and Langkoop, has a love of painting birds and experience working on large-scale murals.

He has previously painted bird murals at Edenhope, Balmoral, Niddrie and Naracoorte.

Carran has also had exhibitions in Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, England and the United States of America.

He plans to paint native birds, significant to the town and region, in front of district landscapes.

Carran has worked closely with the Goroke district community, West Wimmera Shire Council and GrainCorp to develop the project.

Painting was initially scheduled to start earlier in the year but was delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Council chief executive David Leahy said it was fantastic to see painting now getting underway.

“This is something the community has

been waiting for and we are delighted to see it come to fruition,” he said.

Mr Leahy said tourism contributed almost $8.5-million towards West Wimmera Shire’s economy and the silo artworks would be an important addition.

“Extending silo-art installations into West Wimmera is a significant opportunity for us and it will add to the growing list of attractions that tourists can visit here in the shire,” he said.

“West Wimmera Shire Council aligns at a regional level with Wimmera Mallee Tourism and these newly painted silos will be recognised as an extension of the official ‘Silo Art Trail’.”

The council launched the project on behalf of the community and was successful in getting funding through the State Government’s Pick My Project campaign.

A second project at the GrainCorp silos at Kaniva is also due to start in coming weeks, following delays due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The new artworks will also be integrated with Wimmera Mallee Tourism’s augmented reality app, which profiles other silo-art locations in Victoria.

Mr Leahy stressed that anyone planning on visiting the site to see painting in action must abide by all safety measures in place, NEW PROJECT: New Zealand-born artist Geoffrey Carran, pictured with mural he painted featuring a robin, will paint silos at Goroke as part of an extension of the Silo Art Trail. including exclusion zones.

Lake Bolac festival postponed Organisers of Lake Bolac Eel Festival, one of the most unique festivals in regional Australia, have postponed their March event until 2022.

They confirmed a new date for the awardwinning event will now be the weekend of March 25 to 27, a year later than planned.

The eel festival, a biennial event that has attracted people from across the country to Lake Bolac foreshore since 2005, celebrates the annual migration of the short-finned eel, or kuyang, and highlights the lake’s cultural, indigenous and environmental importance to the region.

Festival chair Chris Lawton, in announcing the new date, said the committee had been forced to make a difficult decision to postpone the 2021 event.

“We are, however, looking forward to an amazing festival in March 2022,” he said.

“The festival has been rescheduled as a result of the need for community safety and social distancing during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The continuing uncertainty has made organising a festival for early 2021 very difficult.

“We regret taking this step, but we cannot be sure of what will be allowed by way of events and social gatherings over the next year.

“It seems that life will not return to normal for some time, and, as a consequence of this uncertainty, and to ensure the health and safety of the community, our volunteers, musicians, artists, stall-holders, contractors and of course our wonderful audience, the committee has agreed to postpone until March 2022.

CREATIVITY: A life-size emu that Dave Jones and Bronwyn Razem made from scrap metal and woven fibres for the biennial Lake Bolac Eel Festival.

“‘The Lake as Home’ was to be the theme for the 2021 festival. The lake is very beautiful as we come into spring, with eels, birds and other life in abundance. Unfortunately, we humans cannot gather there, at least in large numbers.”

Tickets for the festival will be valid for 2022, but a refund is available by emailing festival@ eelfestival.org.au with ticket details.

While a full festival is off the agenda for 2021, organisers plan to run ‘one or two’ smaller events next year.

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

Cube to help shape health V

ictorian consultancy firm Cube Group will support work to uncover how a partnership between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services can benefit their respective communities.

The Wimmera health group’s management board believes an enhanced partnership with its Ballarat counterpart would help the organisation provide safe and effective health services in Horsham and the broader Wimmera.

The board sees ‘substantial synergies’ between the groups in clinical governance, regulatory compliance, aged-care compliance and accreditation, fiscal capability and clinical service delivery.

The services have been working closely in planning and responding to COVID-19, providing indications of benefits of the health services working more closely together.

Wimmera board chair Marie Aitken said after a competitive tendering process, the two health services appointed Cube as the consultancy team to assess the best options for partnering to improve the quality of services in the Wimmera-Mallee.

“We are now entering stage one of the process of consultancy and that will include discussion around partnering ideas,” she said.

Wimmera group chief executive Catherine Morley said the services were refining a draft document to underline decision-making principles both services wanted to adopt.

“Those principles are also at the draft stage but they include better outcomes for the region; equity of access to local services; strength and capacity of health services; opportunities for the workforce; effective health system for the region; community trust and support; and complexity of the implementation,” she said.

Consultation

Ms Morley said Cube Group had worked with other health services in the past and was an easy choice to help identify and assess partnering options.

“This process for exploring better partnering would include comprehensive consultation with team members from both health services as well as the broader communities,” she said.

“More information will be shared in November once the board has reviewed the first report from Cube.”

The two health services announced a decision to explore better partnering options early last month, including their intentions to appoint a consultancy firm.

Control asthma before pollen hits Wimmera-Mallee people who get asthma or are prone to hay fever – allergic rhinitis – should visit their doctor or pharmacist in response to the peak spring and thunderstorm season.

That’s the general message National Asthma Council Australia has issued as a general warning.

Ryegrass is prolific across the region and from late September to December is when the amount of ryegrass pollen in the air can significantly increase.

Other allergic material such as fungi or dust can also get airborne in spring.

National Asthma Council Strategic Advisor Dr Lyn Roberts said this could be a significant problem because three in four people with asthma also suffered from hay fever.

“The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting a wet end to 2020 for the eastern half of Australia, with wetter-than-average conditions from mid-September until the end of October that could result in above-average grass growth,” she said.

“Hay fever can be caused by triggers such as pollens from grasses, trees or weeds or animal dander, which is very tiny particles of skin that had been shed from animals with fur or feathers.

“It can cause upper and lower airway inflammation and result in itchy, watery eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, cough, sinus pain and congestion and frequent sore throats.

“But more concerning is that hay fever can lead to an increased risk of serious flare-ups for the 2.78-million Australians with asthma.

“People who are allergic to grass pollens, particularly ryegrass, can have asthma flare-ups caused by springtime thunderstorms, especially if their asthma is not well controlled or they’re not

“Now is a great time to check in with your GP to discuss your asthma treatment, review your asthma action plan, check you are using your inhalers properly and make sure you know what to do during a spring thunderstorm or asthma emergency.”

Dr Roberts said after visiting a GP or pharmacist to talk about asthma and hay-fever control, there are also some simple steps people can take to reduce triggers during spring. These include – • Checking the pollen forecast and being extra careful on high-pollen days.

• Using your preventer medications as prescribed and keeping your asthma reliever with you.

Lookout for corella ‘scouts’

M

unicipal leaders in the region’s far west are urging residents to be on the lookout for corella ‘scout birds’ in efforts to deter large flocks from roosting in towns.

West Wimmera Shire Council has identified targeting scout birds, individuals that scope out potential feeding and roosting areas, as an important step in managing the parrots.

It is one of many plans outlined in a 2020-2024 corella management plan the council adopted in August.

Council planning and environment manager David Pietsch said West Wimmera Shire had experienced problems with large numbers of corellas in the past.

“In significant numbers, corellas cause damage to trees, create noise issues and can potentially damage buildings and infrastructure,” he said.

“Scout birds are the first birds that come into our towns, usually between September and November.

“These birds are looking for sources of food and places to roost.”

Mr Pietsch said targeting scout birds could deter the corella flocks that fol-

lowed. “From the council’s previous experience, this has been a reasonably effective control method,” he said.

The council will deter scout birds using culling and scaring methods, as outlined in the management plan.

Mr Pietsch said West Wimmera Shire residents should contact the council if they saw any scout birds.

“Council officers can then actively deter these birds to discourage the following flocks from settling in township areas,” he said.

Other corella management strategies outlined in the plan include dispersing birds, public education, asset-design solutions and advocacy and partnership.

“No single management strategy alone will prove effective,” Mr Pietsch said.

“A number of different techniques need to be used. Techniques include hand held lasers and flares, stock whips, clapping boards and gas scare guns.

“These will be used in different locations and at varying times.”

People can see the plan on West Wimmera Shire Council’s website and report lone scout birds by calling 13 99 72.

Regional school camps to return Camps will return for schools in regional and rural Victoria during term four.

The State Government has confirmed the move based on health advice.

Education Minister James Merlino announced camps would be limited to single schools and could only occur in regional and rural Victoria.

He said school camps provided important learning opportunities for students, including teamwork, resilience and confidence-building through challenge, problem-solving, connecting with nature, creative and imaginative play and coordination and strength.

TAKE CARE: Tiger, above left, and eastern brown snakes are commonly found in the Grampians.

Snakes slithering into spring Wildlife officers have reminded people across the region that snakes will soon start to emerge from hibernation.

They said as days became warmer, the animals went in search of sun, food and mates.

Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning senior wildlife management officer Belinda Cant said sunny weather meant it was more likely people would encounter a snake.

“Snake species commonly found in the Grampians region, an area featuring much of the Wimmera and Mallee and parts of the Western District, include the eastern brown, tiger and less often, copperhead and red-bellied black snakes,” she said.

“These four species are venomous, but it is rare for them to bite people.

“Most snake bites occur when people try to capture or kill a snake.

“Snakes can bite animals, such

as dogs, if they feel threatened. If your dog or cat encounters a snake, the best course of action is to remove your pet from the area or tie it up while the snake passes. If you suspect your pet has been bitten take it to a vet immediately.”

Ms Cant said snakes were generally shy and preferred to keep away from people.

“Often when a snake is found in a back yard it’s because it’s moving through the area to other habitat,” she said.

“Being aware that snakes might be around and being informed about how to react to them is very important at this time of year.”

Ms Cant said anyone who lived in an area with snakes needed to remember: • When left alone, snakes present little or no danger to people.

• If they see a snake, keep calm and move themselves and anyone with them, including pets, away from the area.

• Do not attempt to capture or harm snakes. Instead call DELWP on 136 186 for further advice and details of licensed snake catchers.

• Maintain lawns and clean up around your house, because snakes are attracted to shelter such as piles of rocks and timber, sheets of metal and building materials.

• Undertake first-aid training and ensure your first-aid kit contains several compression bandages. If someone is bitten, call triple zero immediately.

Ms Cant added that snakes were protected under the Wildlife Act 1975 and it was illegal to capture, harm or kill them.

She said reports of people wilfully destroying protected wildlife would be investigated.

High-speed offer to boost business

H

orsham and Ararat businesses will be able to order high-speed fibre broadband as NBN Co rolls out new business fibre zones designed to help boost economic growth and productivity.

NBN Co’s business fibre initiative is part of a $700-million package to transform the accessibility and affordability of business-grade fibre.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster confirmed zones in Horsham and Mildura and Member for Wannon Dan Tehan welcomed zones in Ararat and Warrnambool.

“The launch of the business fibre initiative will support business critical applications including cloud storage and online collaboration, helping our local businesses stay competitive in the digital age,” Mr Tehan said.

Under the new plan, businesses in the business fibre zone will be able to request a fibre upgrade through their retailer at no upfront cost.

The program will offer wholesale symmetrical speeds from 10 Mbps up to 1 Gbps on request to more than 700,000 businesses in 240 zones and will reduce wholesale pricing by up to 67 percent for businesses in zones outside metropolitan centres.

Regional Communications Minister Mark Coulton said 85 of the business fibre zones would be in regional centres.

He said this would allow regional businesses to benefit from the transformation to NBN whole-

sale business pricing, bringing regional pricing into line with capital cities.

“Businesses within NBN Co’s business fibre zones across the country will have access to CBD zone wholesale prices, driving annual cost savings of between $1200 and $6000 for those based outside capital city centres,” he said.

Dr Webster said business fibre zones in Horsham and Mildura represented an important progressive step.

Economic recovery

Communications Cyber Safety and the Arts Minister Paul Fletcher said the Federal Government was backing the significant investment into Australia’s small and medium businesses, which would be critical to an economic recovery from COVID-19.

“During this global health crisis, the NBN has proven itself to be a vital national asset. It has supported Australian businesses as they have innovated and adapted to digital operating models to overcome the challenges of the pandemic,” he said.

“The Morrison government understands the importance of continued investment into Australian businesses and digital connectivity.

“That’s why we are making affordable ultrafast broadband available to more businesses Australia wide.”

NBN Co will allocate $50-million to help expand these business fibre zones by co-investing with municipal councils and state governments.

WELCOME: Emergency Department nurse Gail Pollard and theatre nurses Amie Ampt and Jenny Thomson with new ultrasound machines.

Machines provide relief The donation of two new portable ultrasound machines will make treating patients a lot easier for Wimmera Health Care Group’s surgical and emergency nurses.

Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation donated the two machines to perform specific duties.

Health group acute operations director Maree Markby said each ultrasound device had a probe specific to tasks in its department.

“The machine in the emergency department will mainly be used for locating veins,” she said.

“Sometimes people in a trauma situation can have really difficult veins to get a cannular into, so it will be really good to assist with that.

“It probes different depths and angles to help look for blood vessels and that will make the job much easier for nurses and less traumatic for patients.”

Ms Markby said the machine for theatre had a more intricate probe and could help locate nerve systems to help with administering anaesthetics.

“It also has an abdominal probe which can give a quick assessment of the stomach and surrounds,” she said.

Ms Markby said the theatre ultrasound would provide support during shoulder operations.

“Shoulder operations can be very painful beWednesday, September 30, 2020

cause there’s a big plexus of nerves that sit in your shoulder,” she said.

“Our previous machine wasn’t able to locate nerve systems, but with this one we can identify the nerve location and apply analgesic that’s almost good enough to perform the surgery without any further dosage.

“It also gives good pain relief after surgery so often these operations can become a day procedure.”

Ms Markby thanked the foundation for its continued generosity.

Health group foundation chair Graeme Hardman said the ultrasound machines would be well used.

“The ability to provide the usual ultrasound processes as well as assist with post-operative pain relief and rapidly assess trauma cases with new and updated technology provides our community with better healthcare,” he said.

Mr Hardman said the foundation invested donations and used income generated from investments to fund special projects at Wimmera Health Care Group Dimboola and Horsham campuses.

“Your donation lasts forever and it’s always working towards growing better health in our community,” he said. www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Simplified line-up Land Rover announces Range Rover Velar update

J

aguar Land Rover Australia has announced pricing for its updated Range Rover Velar luxury large SUV, with the slimmeddown range ushering in new engine choices and updated spec changes ahead of its arrival in March next year.

Priced from $87,000 plus on-road costs, the new range will consist of five variants, starting with the S P250 grade and topping out at $127,000 for the HSE P400.

It is a far cry from when the Velar range first touched down in Australia in 2017, when a staggering 48 variants were on offer for buyers.

The point of entry to the range has

risen by $5353 with the removal of the previous entry-level variant, however the new base-level grade is actually marginally cheaper than the equivalent outgoing version.

Like many other JLR products, the Velar range will now be available with the new 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine, which incorporates 48-volt mild-hybrid, MHEV, technology.

The P400 engine produces 294kW550Nm, and allows the Velar to shift from standstill to 100kmh in 5.5 seconds.

MHEV tech has also been included on the sole diesel variant, the midspec D200 grade, which employs a

2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit producing 150kW-430Nm, allowing for a fuel economy figure of 6.3 litres per 100km and CO2 emissions of 165 grams per kilometre.

The two entry-level P250 grades will carry over the existing 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, developing 184kW-365Nm while sipping 9.4L-100km of fuel.

All variants employ an all-wheeldrive set-up with power channelled via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

There are no plans to re-introduce the 404kW 5.0-litre supercharged V8 from the outgoing range, with the SV Autobiography Dynamic Edition only

featuring in the pre-update range as a limited-run model.

One of the biggest changes in the update includes the latest iteration of the Pivi Pro infotainment system, which features enhanced graphics and responsiveness, integrated Spotify and over-the-air software updates.

Active Road Noise Cancellation has been included, which monitors vibrations from the road surface to calculate and deploy the opposite phase sound wave needed to remove the noise from the cabin.

JLR claims the tech can result in up to four decibels of noise reduction, which can help reduce driver fatigue.

A new cabin air-filtration system has

also been adopted, which can reduce the levels of particulates, pollen and odours entering the cabin, making for an even more serene experience.

All new Velar grades will come standard with the R-Dynamic specification pack, which gives the exterior a sportier look, while top-spec P400 grades will feature air suspension as standard. Exact Australian specification is yet to be set, with JLR Australia stating spec levels would be finalised next month.

To the end of August, JLR Australia has sold 399 examples of the Velar, marking a significant 49.4 percent drop over the same period last year.

BMW targets hot hatch market

J

ust when the front-wheel-drive hot hatch market was starting to look full, BMW has come out and announced it will be joining the party with its new 128ti, a performance 1 Series devoid of the M nomenclature but still packing a punch.

Armed with a Torsen limited-slip differential as standard, the 128ti is expected to touch down on Aussie soil in the first quarter of next year and is the first performance-oriented BMW to send its power exclusively to the front wheels.

Power will come from a detuned version of the flagship M135i xDrive’s turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which in 128ti guise, churns out 195kW and an as-yet-unspecified amount of torque, while gear shifting duties will be catered for by the familiar eight-speed automatic transmission.

While the new front-driver might be down on power, the omission of the xDrive all-wheel-drive system has shaved some 80kg from its kerb weight, allowing the 128ti to scramble from 0-100kmh in 6.1 seconds.

These key stats thrust the 128ti right into the thick of the current hot hatch action, out-muscling the Volkswagen Golf GTI in terms of power and matching the Hyundai i30 N for ac-

JOINING THE PARTY: BMW’s new 128ti is the first performance-oriented BMW to send its power exclusively to the front wheels. celeration. It remains to be seen how much torque the 128ti will have at its disposal as it begins its final testing at Nurburgring, however we expect it to be around the 400 to 420Nm mark given the all-paw M135i boasts 450Nm. That would put the fresh-faced Ba-

between 139 and 148g a kilometre.

Despite being down on power and ultimate grip compared with the M135i, BMW says a ‘special focus lies on the dynamic handling characteristics of the new variant of the BMW 1 Series, which has been consistently designed for active driving pleasure’.

varian right at the pointy end of the field with the Ford Focus ST, 420Nm, Honda Civic Type R, 400Nm, and Renault Megane RS Trophy, 400Nm. According to BMW, fuel consumption for the detuned engine is rated at between 6.1 and 6.4 litres per 100km, while CO2 emissions are pegged at

As such, the 128ti borrows many of its suspension components from the flagship as well as M Sport parts bins, featuring lowered M Sport suspension, BMW Performance Control, pre-stressed stabiliser bearings and stabilisers, all of which have been tuned and adapted specifically to the front-wheel-drive set-up.

M Sport brakes have also been confirmed as standard while ‘sport tyres’ will be available as a no-cost option – Australian pricing and specification is yet to be detailed.

“The new BMW 128ti is much more than just a new BMW 1 Series variant,” BMW stated.

“In addition to many differentiating exterior and interior features, the entire suspension and steering were specifically tuned to offer extremely sporty and driver-oriented driving dynamics.

“Consequently, the new, exclusively front-wheel-drive sports car addresses a particularly young target group with a focus on typical BMW driving pleasure.”

As for the rest of the 1 Series range, BMW has sold 1618 units so far this year ending August, accounting for 17 percent of the $40,000-plus small car segment behind the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, 45.5 percent, and Audi A3, 17.9 percent.

industry is constantly coming up with new technology and that creates work because everyone is striving to do their best – always looking for that next thing to grow that better crop or breed that better sheep.

“But that’s farming life and I wouldn’t change it.

“Kaniva is also a reasonably reliable farming area, suited for mixed-type cropping and sheep, which means it opens a few doors for everyone.”

BY DEAN LAWSON

romise of a successful harvest across much of the Wimmera this summer continues to gather momentum as burgeoning crops respond strongly to regular spring rain.

Farmers, many who have experienced a hit-and-miss environment in the past few seasons after a long dry, have welcomed a return to consistent moisture levels.

Kaniva district in the west Wimmera is an example of one farming area heading for a successful season, pending a continuation of favourable conditions.

Kaniva farmer Shane Vivian, who with his family runs a mixed cropping, livestock and trucking enterprise, said the season was going well.

“We had a great start before a bit of a scare with a dry July,” he said.

“But rain in August and now September has been kind to us.

“The weather forecast throughout spring has always been positive, but getting a wet spring for a change is something we’re not used to.

“Really our only concern is that if we have wet weather it isn’t that good for our hay. But, we can’t have both and the truth is we’d rather have a good cropping season.

“Conditions for our livestock has also been handy and while some pric-

The farm business, Vivian Grain, covers between 7000 and 8000 hectares and is a prime example of a family farming operation.

Mr Vivian and his wife Sammie and their three children, his brother

Tyson and his wife Carin, also with three children, and his parents Peter and Sharon, are all part of the farm business.

Vivian Grain also employs three full-time staff members.

Mr Vivian agreed that farming, despite coming with years of uncertainty and drought, provided a healthy life-

“We all know that when work is there to be done it has to be done, but there are advantages in being your own boss and having the flexibility to enjoy other parts of life.

“Farming life is getting busier. The

Mr Vivian said the Victorian and South Australian border situation due to COVID-19 had created complications for people living and working in the area.

“We don’t have property in South Australia, but some do and they had trouble at the start,” he said.

“It has taken a lot of work to get that all through.

“We do get a lot of parts and buy machinery out of Bordertown, but that can always be freighted across.

“I also picked up sheep from South Australia and as long as I had a COVID test and paperwork with a freight permit I was fine.

“As far as our business goes, it hasn’t affected us too much.

“But from a personal side, our kids normally go to Adelaide for medical appointments, which has made it hard.”

Virtual show ‘goes on’ A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

lthough the Wimmera-Mallee’s annual agricultural show season has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, a Horsham organisation creatively ensured at least one show ‘would go on’.

More than 10,000 people tuned into a virtual rendition of the 142nd Grand Annual Horsham Show on Sunday.

Due to restrictions on large gatherings, usual attractions such as sideshow alley, a farmers pavilion and live entertainment were off the cards this year.

But Horsham Agricultural Society leaders and volunteers pushed on, determined to provide an alternative solution to the long-running event.

Society executive administrator Andrea Cross, with the help of Horsham youth Bart Turgoose, kept a virtual crowd entertained with up to 150 posts on Facebook throughout the day.

“It’s just been overwhelming to say the least – the support behind this event has been quite incredible,” Mrs Cross said.

“Our main objective is to keep the community connected. I feel after this experience, there’s certainly a space for virtual agricultural shows.”

Entertainment included announcements of competition winners, a 20-minute performance from Wimmera musicians and a virtual fireworks display.

Agriculture minister Jaclyn Symes opened the day, acknowledging the ‘determination’

Mrs Cross even shared a throwback video of footage from Horsham’s 100th annual show, filmed in 1978.

“It was the main feature of the night. The video reached about 6000 people,” she said.

Mrs Cross said society leaders started planning for the event back in April in an effort to retain a ‘cornerstone’ of rural life.

“We’re really proud of our effort. We didn’t know what we were doing back in April, but it’s just been about learning as we go,” she said.

Mrs Cross said although the online event

was over, she planned to build on it. “We don’t know what’s ahead of us. We’ve had actual shows and now a virtual show – it will be about combining the two,” she said.

“As part of this process, there was a whole generation of new entrants into our competitions.”

Show competitions will now extend across the region as part of Wimmera Agricultural Societies Association #beatthis campaign.

The campaign will involve 16 competitions, with entrants encouraged to beat Horsham Show winners.

Winners will be announced each business day until October 25.

Opportunities to restore growth 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A new report from Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, has revealed the opportunities for key industries including agribusiness and food production to leverage science and technology and help restore economic growth and resilience.

The COVID-19: Recovery and Resilience report highlights the trends and national advantages COVID-19 has created, and how six Australian industries can capitalise on them over the next six to 24 months and beyond.

CSIRO chief executive Dr Larry Marshall said science and technology created economic growth and opportunity for all Australians.

“At this pivotal time in our history, the inclination is to batten down the hatches and postpone investments, when actually we need to double down on Australian innovation. Science and technology can drive our recovery from this pandemic-led recession and land us back in a much stronger position,” he said.

“COVID-19 has disrupted every element of our lives,

and while the devastating loss of life can’t be understated, we have an opportunity to determine the new kind of Australia we want to emerge from this crisis.

“Just as science and technology have been guiding our health and emergency response, so too will they drive our economic response and recovery from this pandemic.”

Apart from agriculture, the report highlights job creation and investment opportunities in energy, mineral resources, manufacturing and digital industries.

The report lists production of ‘alternative protein sources’, ‘high-value health and wellbeing food products’ and ‘smarter value chains’ as key opportunities in the next six to 24 months.

Australian Plant Proteins will start shipping pulse-protein powder from its Horsham headquarters next week.

The report consolidates key findings from CSIRO’s industry roadmaps and the Australian National Outlook.

Plant-virus detection research “Like” Us On Facebook

A

griculture Victoria in Horsham is in the trial stages of developing an Australian-first method to improve plant-virus detection.

At the conclusion of this research project, Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park will be the first facility in Australia to apply high throughput genome sequencing methods for Post Entry Quarantine, PEQ, for grain.

Since 2018, Agriculture Victoria research scientist Solomon Maina has been working towards developing this method to screen grain for exotic viruses that threaten Australian biosecurity.

Dr Maina said the project aimed to apply new methodology to prevent the entry of new pathogens that might cause significant damage and economic losses to the Australian grains industry if they became established, and possibly went undetected using traditional testing.

“The new methods would enable researchers to detect multiple viruses which have high genetic variability genome structures at once, with no prior information of the pathogen,” he said.

“In comparison with traditional methods, for example, the current use of antibodies which is limited to antisera availability might not detect viruses with high genome variations.

“Plus, the researcher would need to initially suspect an infection in order to test for a specific virus in a crop.”

Expectations are that a PEQ facility

MILESTONE: Agriculture Victoria research scientist Solomon Maina works towards an Australian-first method to improve plant-virus detection. in Horsham will adopt the methods.

Similar frameworks are already in place on different crops in the United States and parts of Europe as part of geneticcertification programs.

However, Australia is leading the framework for grain.

Plant viruses and diseases are a major cause of agricultural crop losses and can have a substantial economic impact.

They can weaken the growth of cultivated crops, cause yield loss and reduce the quality, marketability and competitiveness of grain products.

In Australia, estimations are that cereals, oilseeds and pulses account for more than $1-billion gross value of farm production, with the majority being exported.

The preliminary results at Grains Innovation Park have proved promising,

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

revealing simultaneous detection of multiple exotic and endemic viruses of pulses currently available at Horsham PEQ. Further studies are underway to improve and strengthen the methods.

Grains Research and Development Corporation and Agriculture Victoria are co-investors in the project.

Fuel security plan welcome Victorian Farmers Federation has welcomed the Federal Government’s $211-million investment into Australia’s fuel security.

The federation’s grains group president Ashley Fraser said the decision would help secure the essential fuel needed to keep Victoria’s agriculture industry moving.

He said ensuring farmers and industry had access to a secure and affordable supply of fuel was critical for today’s modern agriculture industry.

“Half of Victoria’s exports come from the agriculture industry and a huge part of that is from our grain growers,” he said.

“Everything from sowing crops to transporting food and fibre to market relies on a steady, affordable supply of fuel.

“Recent events have highlighted just how important our critical supply chains are and this investment will help ensure agriculture can continue to feed the nation.

“You can’t just switch agriculture on and off. Farmers have only a short window of time to harvest their crops and maintaining a reliable source of fuel is vital.”

The VFF is lobbying for farmers to be included as essential users as a change to the Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984.

New Horsham product hits market 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A

Horsham company designing and constructing plant and equipment for the mining, earthmoving and agricultural industries has produced a new mobile cement-batching system.

Tecfitmac has released its new Multi Plant, designed for large works requiring on-site manufacturing of concrete.

Tecfitmac fabricator and mechanical and hydraulic engineer Lee Hutchinson said a group of Hopetoun farmers approached him earlier this year to manufacture a relocatable batching plant primarily for cement batching.

“These farmers are big producers of both hay and grain,” he said.

“In recent years, the number of hay sheds and silos going up in the grain-growing areas has been enormous.

“Concreting for hay sheds and silo pads becomes quite expensive when you add the cost of paying for concrete to come from service towns that might be up to 50 kilometres away.

“The Multi Plant means concrete can be made on site without the added costs of paying all that freight for concrete across large distances.”

Mr Hutchinson, who has 29 years of experience behind him, said a loader fed the Multi Plant stone, sand and cement and the material was then transferred into an agitator via the Multi Plant’s belt elevator.

“It was a seamless process and certainly met their requirements of being simple and efficient while saving a considerable sum of money”

DELIVERY: Lee Hutchinson and Bridie Scollary deliver a Tecfitmac mobile concrete agitator to customer Steve Hallam. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Water is added at the end of the elevator. After mixing by the agitator, the concrete is then ready to pour in the usual manner.

“These farmers have been backloading grain deliveries to port with stone and concreting supplies. Backloading creates efficiencies with both grain deliveries and, importantly, reduces costs of concreting on farm,” Mr Hutchinson said.

He said a key benefit of the Multi

Plant was its capacity to manufacture concrete quickly and easily on site.

“The Multi Plant has a large-capacity hopper and a high-output elevator.

All you need is a front-end loader, concrete ingredients and an agitator for the mixing of the concrete,” he said.

Mr Hutchinson said another benefit was that the Multi Plant was light and easily transportable.

“These farmers won’t have a prob-

lem at all with sharing the Multi Plant between multiple locations,” he said.

“On farm, a bonus of the Multi Plant is that it can also be used for outloading of bunkers and storages and loading of containers.”

Mr Hutchinson said his initial focus was on manufacturing a cement-batching plant for farmers in remote locations.

“At the start of this job, my key focus was servicing farmers in the

Mallee and beyond. I’ve worked with these farmers for years and have seen first-hand the added freight expenses they have for getting supplies to and from their farms,” he said.

But Mr Hutchinson now concedes the Mutli Plant would suit businesses other than just farmers.

“The Multi Plant would also suit concrete businesses with large services areas, or any business that requires large quantities of concrete on site without the need for transportation,” he said.

The Multi Plant’s first job involved laying a cement pad for a community project at Hopetoun.

“The farmers were really happy with the job; the Multi Plant worked even better than expected,” Mr Hutchinson said.

“It was a seamless process and certainly met their requirements of being simple and efficient while saving a considerable sum of money.

“From my perspective, I was so pleased to see all my hard work and attention to detail pay off.”

Control a must before plant goes to seed 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A

group dedicated to fighting serrated tussock has stressed that now is the ideal time for farmers to check properties for the noxious weed.

Victorian Serrated Tussock Party chairperson Lance Jennison said rain and a warm start to spring in some parts of Victoria had been good for pastures and crops, but unfortunately, also good for the growth of serrated tussock.

He said controlling serrated tussock before the plant went to seed was critical to prevent further spread, lost productivity and increased control requirements.

“Before seeding, serrated tussock has a lime-green appearance. When seeding the flowerheads have a distinctive purple colour developing as the seeds ripen in late spring and early summer. These features help serrated tussock stand out from the native tussock grasses,” he said.

jackson ing! fathrEm very Buck

The working party has developed an online video and information sheet to help landowners identify the unwanted grass, at www.serratedtussock. com/how-identify-serrated-tussock “Serrated tussock has a fine leaf and will roll smoothly between the index finger and thumb, while native tussocks feel as though they have flat edges,” Mr Jennison said.

“The leaves also feel rough when you run your fingers downwards due to fine serrations.

“A mature serrated tussock plant can produce thousands of seeds in a season, blowing up to 20 kilometres from the parent plant.”

Farmers can control serrated tussock plants before they flower and seed with a registered herbicide, manual removal or cultivation.

“Having a healthy pasture and competitive ground cover is one of the most important aspects to weed management,” Mr Jennison said.

of a weed that does not like competition and well-established pastures.”

Mr Jennison said it was best to control serrated tussock before it got out of control.

“Case studies on the economic costs of not treating serrated tussock showed that if serrated tussock was left to infest a property or landscape, the cost of controlling it would be at least five times higher than if it was prevented in the first instance,” he said.

“Times have been rather uncertain with COVID-19 as abattoirs haven’t been able to be fully staffed due to the pandemic, but things are starting to look pretty positive now”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ollowing months of uncertainty in the sheep market due to COVID-19, Wimmera prime producers are starting to see an upward trend in lamb prices.

A Rural Bank report from early September showed demand uncertainty was expected to continue to provide headwinds for lamb and mutton prices.

The market was already under pressure from lowered consumer demand due to the coronavirus pandemic and restrictions on food-service outlets.

That was further impacted by reduced demand at saleyards due to a fall in buying power from Victorian meat processors operating within COVID-19 restrictions.

However, producers such as Moyston sheep farmer David Jackson, have seen promising signs of the market firming up in recent weeks.

The Jackson family has a mixed farming operation, running sheep alongside cattle, cereal and canola crops and hay.

Mr Jackson said his lambs were fetching about $7 a kilogram at the Ballarat saleyards.

“The market has been performing pretty well – it’s risen quite a bit in the past few weeks,” he said.

“Times have been rather uncertain with COVID-19 as abattoirs haven’t been able to be fully staffed due to the pandemic, but things are starting to look pretty positive now.

“Hopefully as more abattoir workers get back to work, there will continue to be good demand through the spring.”

The Australian sheep industry is approaching a ‘critical’ time of year when the spring flush of new lambs is starting to come into markets and supply is rising.

“Spring flush is starting, and selling is slowly getting underway,” Mr Jackson said.

“There will be quite a few lambs to absorb.

Quite a few people have had good lambing because it’s been a good season and a mild winter, so there will likely be a lot of lambs in the market from now on.”

Mr Jackson said favourable weather bolstered his lambing season.

“We’ve had a good lambing percentage this season and with quite a few lambs born and we’ll be taking them to the market in the next few weeks straight off their mothers,” he said.

“We had a pretty mild winter with not a lot of rain, but it’s really started to pick up during spring.”

Mr Jackson said he was grateful the sheep market was improving to counteract a major downturn in wool prices – another key component of his sheep operation.

SHORING UP: Moyston sheep farmer David Jackson is pleased his lambs are fetching higher prices following months of market uncertainty. prices have fallen to levels ‘not seen in several years’, increasing friction between buyers and sellers.

“The wool prices are not good, but we’ve got to wear it. Hopefully it’s just a hiccup rather than a long-term trend,” Mr Jackson said.

Prices rise

Last week’s Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange weekly sheep and lamb market saw prices increase.

On-site manager Paul Christopher said heavy new season lambs made a top of $230 a head, with medium and heavy trade weights selling at $190 and averaging 715 cents a kilogram.

“That’s fantastic, prices are definitely up,” he said.

“The sale now, compared with the way it’s been the past couple of weeks, is nearly comparable to prices this time last year.

“When COVID-19 hit, the processors didn’t know if they could export their products and the price stagnated for a while, but prices are fairly buoyant at the moment.”

Horsham’s weekly markets saw 7189 lambs and 3156 sheep hit the saleyards.

Mr Christopher said he expected the market to be flooded with new lambs in the coming weeks.

“With the spring flush, hopefully our numbers will pick up,” he said.

“We’d hope we’re getting up to 17,000 to 18,000 in the coming few weeks.”

“She had felt a bit of pain after returning from the boundary fence area and she said, ‘Dad, I think something has bitten me’. I looked at her leg and saw the bite marks then went straight into first-aid mode”

immera Health Care Group has warned the community to watch out for snakes after an 11-year-old-girl suffered a snake bite at a Grampians farm.

Heidi Kane was spending Monday afternoon playing with friends on her father’s Illawarra property when a snake bit her on the leg.

An ambulance rushed her to Horsham’s Emergency Department and she was later discharged.

Heidi’s father Luke Kane said snakes were prevalent on their property.

“I see snakes all the time and they are always either tiger or brown snakes,” he said.

“I’m a keen cyclist and almost every time I go for a ride, I see them. There are lots of baby snakes along our driveway at the moment.”

Mr Kane said he was working in the shed when Heidi came back from climbing trees with her friends.

“She had felt a bit of pain after returning from the boundary fence area and she said, ‘Dad, I think something has bitten me’.

“I looked at her leg and saw the bite marks then went straight into first-aid mode.

“We live on the edge of a state park about six kilometres from Stawell so the ambulance was here in 10 minutes and by then I had already taped up the wound. Within 45 minutes of her being bitten, we were in the Emergency Department at Horsham.”

Mr Kane was high in his praise of both the ambulance crew and the health-service team.

“The emergency staff and all the nurses were very attentive to both myself and Heidi from the moment we arrived,” he said.

“I really appreciated that the doctors were

– Luke Kane

upfront, open and communicative about Heidi’s condition and the bedside manner was lovely and caring for little Heidi.”

Medical staff told Heidi the snake had only injected a very small amount of venom so she would not require any antivenin.

They kept her under observation before discharging her later that evening.

Mr Kane said he had often promoted to anyone visiting his property that it was more important to wear gumboots in summer.

“I like snakes but you have to be respectful of them and wearing boots is a good safety measure,” he said.

Health group emergency nurse unit manager Odette Richards warned the community to be wary of snakes.

“We’ve already had several presentations for snake bite at ED so people need to be vigilant,” she said.

Ms Richards said a pressure bandage with immobilisation was recommended first-aid for a potential snake bite.

“Bandaging should start at the bite site and cover the entire limb, but it is also important to ring triple zero as soon as possible,” she said.

Agriculture Victoria research scientist Dr Arun Shunmugam said PBA Kelpie XT was the result of 12 years of research by Agriculture Victoria’s pulse-breeding team at Grains Innovation Park in Horsham.

“PBA Kelpie XT is a high-yielding, large market-class red-lentil variety, boasting a six to 29 percent long-term yield advantage over PBA Hurricane XT,” he said.

“It is an early to mid-flowering and maturity variety with provisional, disease ratings of moderately resistant-moderately susceptible to ascochyta and resistant-moderately resistant to BGM.” Victoria’s lentil industry contributes $120-million to the state’s economy each year, with 95 percent of lentils grown in Victoria exported to countries around the world, including Bangladesh and India.

Seednet will market and manage PBA Kelpie XT and produce the variety in commercial quantities for lentil growers.

The lentil adapts to most lentil-growing regions in Australia and its herbicide tolerance will help farmers manage weeds efficiently.

Developed by conventional plant-breeding techniques, PBA Kelpie XT is the fifth herbicide-tolerant lentil variety bred by Agriculture Victoria scientists.

Scientist developed it under the Pulse Breeding Australia program and the suffix XT – for

Dr Arun Shunmugam extra tough – denotes its tolerance to group B herbicides.

Dr Shunmugam said it was bred with selections developed from a cross between PBA Blitz and an experimental line and it featured a large grey seed coat with red cotyledon.

He said it would also be suitable for export and domestic markets.

Agriculture Victoria’s lentil-breeding program and Southern Pulse Agronomy team has support from the State Government and Grains Research and Development Corporation. People can visit seednet.com.au/product/pba-kelpie-xt for more information about PBA Kelpie XT.

One door closes...

I

will be the first to admit that I think United States President Donald Trump is… I think you get where I am heading.

I also think he has a lot to answer for with ruining relations with China, which has also tainted our relations with our largest trading partner.

But can we turn that on its head and find yet again, a case of opportunity from adversity?

According to professional ‘Asia watcher’ James Crabtree, who is an associate professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, other Asian countries welcome Trump’s tough stance on China.

Countries such as Japan, Korea and even India are reportedly concerned that a Joe Biden presidency might see a return to a weak stand on China, as was the case with the Obama administration.

If nothing else, China’s absurd 80 percent tariff on barley has forced a rethink in the grain industry.

GrainGrowers group is now going cap in hand to the Morrison government with a plan to set up a $20million recovery fund for Australia’s barley industry. It estimates China’s stand will cost us $2.5-billion over five years.

Quambatook farmer and GrainGrowers chair Brett Hosking explained to Country Today that the fund would focus on three areas: • Improving relations with China.

• Diversifying into other barley markets.

• Value adding to barley in Australia.

“The real opportunity that we see is to be able to do that development work and maybe one day when China does come back looking for our grain, we know one thing for sure they do love our barley, and we know once the tariffs are gone, well, maybe they’ll have to fight a little bit harder to get us out of the grip of some of these other markets we’ve been

Country Today with Libby Price

able to develop in the meantime,” Mr Hosking said.

So where is the greatest potential? Japan has now become our largest importer of malt barley.

Vietnam pre-COVID-19 had a booming economy and was showing great interest, and never, ever underestimate Indonesia, which has a population 10 times our own.

And that’s just the beginning, according to Mr Hosking.

“We can cast our eyes even further around the globe. We look at countries like in South America and into Africa – they’ve got really booming malting-beer brewing industries and a huge appetite for malt,” he said.

Finally, step three. China is the largest importer of barley and is also the largest exporter of the malt.

“We’re coming out of COVID and looking for opportunities to create jobs for Australians,” Mr Hosking said.

“It would be really great to build on and enhance those domestic capacities. And you know what?

We’ve got a bit of an opportunity there being close to those Asian regions to be able to develop some of those export malt markets for ourselves.”

So, now we just have to wait for the Federal Budget next month to find out if the government will come to the aid of our badly beaten but still breathing barley market.

WORK EXPERIENCE: Horsham’s Tex Askew takes a break from moving sheep at his uncle’s property at Brimpaen. Tex, 7, has been keeping busy during his school holidays, learning the ropes in and out of the wool shed during the busy shearing period. “My favourite part is picking up the bellies,” Tex said. “I love going to the farm because there’s always something fun to do.” Picture: SARAH MATTHEWS

Timerite applications…

Timerite® was a project conducted by the CSIRO and funded by the AWI to determine the best date in spring to control adult RLEM’s before they lay eggs, to hatch the following autumn. This method has been proven to significantly reduce the damage caused by RLEM the following year. Monitor your pasture paddocks, especially those that may neighbour a paddock destined for canola next year. If RLEM are present in significant numbers, consider spraying them to not only reduce the damage they may cause this year but to also reduce the potential threat of inhibiting crop establishment next year.

‘Minor’ success navigating border 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY DYLAN DE JONG

W

immera contract harvesters are just days away from heading north for harvest as they continue to navigate complex border-crossing policies.

Victorian agricultural workers needing to cross borders are having more success meeting requirements to cross into New South Wales compared with recent weeks.

Horsham’s Hoffmann Contracting co-business owners Scott Hoffmann and Andrew Lamont are planning to make the most of ‘favourable seasons’ in NSW and Queensland.

The business partners were successful in transporting a suite of combine harvesters up to Moree in northern NSW and into central Queensland in preparation for harvest.

However, the pair still needs to adhere to ‘tricky’ border-crossing measures to gain access to NSW, where they plan to be before October 10.

Under restrictions, the Horsham contractors cannot enter Queensland, but have organised for farmers in the state to drive their header.

Both Mr Hoffmann and Mr Lamont have met requirements to enter NSW and will be given a short period to do so. But once they enter, they must quarantine for 14 days and cannot re-enter South Australia if they cross back into Victoria.

ON THE MOVE: Contract harvesters Scott Hoffmann, left, and Andrew Lamont are planning to make their way up to New South Wales in coming days.

“We’ve got a permit that will be activated at the end of next week and we’ve got between five and seven days to get a across the border. But it’s a one-time activation permit, so once we’ve gone across, we can’t come back until we finish the job,” Mr Lamont said.

He said this would make it challenging to see his family while he was away, for at least five weeks.

“I’ve got a family and young kids, so I won’t be able to come home and link back up, that’s one of the main downfalls,” he said.

Mr Lamont said the border measures were likely to cause major concerns for his business partner, who had his own crops in the ground at Haven.

“Scott can’t come over and back, he has a farm here as well and he’s got to do hay and desiccate lentils – once he’s used the activation to get across once, he can’t get it again.

“It’s impacting our business majorly – but at least it’s still allowing us to work.”

Once the contract harvesters have completed their work over the border, they will face issues bringing their

equipment home, requiring several trips.

Mr Lamont, who relies on contract harvesting for his main source of income, said it was crucial for him to ‘get up north this season’.

He said he was grateful to receive help from Agriculture Victoria.

“Heather Drendel from Agriculture Victoria has pretty much helped us through this whole thing, which has been a massive help,” he said.

“We have machinery and we want to use it as much as we can – if you take away five or six weeks of income

we don’t get, that’s a massive hit to us.” NSW winter crop production is forecast to rise to 14.8-million tonnes in 2020–21, 49 percent above the 10-year average to 2019–20 and the largest winter crop since 2016–17.

Similarly, Queensland’s production is forecast to be at its highest since 2016-17 at about 1.7-million tonnes.

Victorian Famers Federation president David Jochinke said he would continue to advocate for Queensland to join a national agriculture workers code introduced in late August.

“The biggest frustration is getting Queensland on board. Those farmers haven’t had a good season in a long time,” he said.

“With not allowing these workers to enter, after years of hardship the last thing we want to do is put more distress on farmers by taking away the tools they need to get the harvest off.”

Mr Jochinke said the restrictions placed on Victorian agriculture workers was ‘unreasonable’ as most workers could typically work under ‘COVID-safe’ conditions.

“This can be solved quite easily by just using some common sense,” he said.

“We generally operate in isolation.

We’re usually in a machine by ourselves and there’s a lot of ways we can adopt best COVID-safe practices to reduce any risk.”

A Jar of Pickled Carrots

Maternal & Child Health Nurses

We live in unprecedented times of heartache, death and disease. However, amidst the horror are stories like this one about a lady, Di Kilsby from Melbourne and her PICKLED CARROTS. “Everyone is just doing whatever they can think of and getting creative and reaching out,” she said. “I just figure that fermented food is something that will keep for a long time, it’s really super nutritious and I will be able to share that with people who need it.”

Ms Kilsby started a group chat for her neighbours — the inhabitants of an 11-storey apartment block in Melbourne’s St Kilda. Many of them are elderly, vulnerable or live with a disability.

“I told them I’m cooking ... I’ve filled up my freezer, there are meals ready to go for everyone,” she said.

The goal of their new social network is to look after each other, keep up some form of company and make each other laugh in the tough times ahead.

We too can be creative, ask yourself what could I do to support and encourage my neighbour? We can all be the bearers of good news even today.

There is always Hope. The bible tells us that Hope is an anchor for the soul and Jesus is our Hope. Maybe you can’t cook pickled carrots but God will show you what you could do. A few words about Hope from February 2020: What is Hope? In this context, it is the confident, optimistic expectation “that the future” can be brighter, it does not diminish loss but empowers us to rebuild and find courage to go on. It is never too late to start again. We won’t forget but we can move forward in Hope. Trust Him, he loves you and will anchor your soul, give you stability and strength during the battle, if you let Him. Irene Gould - Pastor, Stawell Baptist Church

‘A time for patience’ W

immera sporting authority David Berry has urged indoor sporting groups across the region to continue to wait for directions under evolving COVID-19 restrictions.

Mr Berry, Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly executive officer, said Sport and Recreation Victoria had yet to announce a roadmap for a return to indoor sport in Victoria.

But Mr Berry, who had hoped to have some direction by the end of last week, said he expected further developments within the next few days.

“The message to indoor sporting people is to park your frustration at not being able to at least start some form of planning – and keep your eyes on peak bodies for when guidelines land,” he said.

“We’re hoping to hear something shortly that might help with planning that allows indoor community sport and activity to return under COVID-safe conditions.

“We’re talking about a considerable amount of activities that remain in limbo at the moment. The wait continues for the likes of basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, squash, indoor netball, the

David Berry dance sports of calisthenics and aerobics and also artistic dance studios. We can do little except be patient.”

Mr Berry said assessments about what could and could not happen involving community sport were constantly evolving based on ever-changing findings from research into COVID-19.

“It means that the guidelines authorities might have been going to release on a cer-

tain date become defunct and the process has to start again. That’s the nature of the research work at the moment,” he said.

Mr Berry said the approach also suggested authorities were differentiating between particular community and professional sport and activities and the processes involved.

Many outdoor community sporting organisations, which can start under new guidelines, are busy planning for approaching summer seasons.

Wimmera cricket and tennis officials, for example, have been busy gaining an understanding of specific COVID-safe adaptations for their sports and how general restrictions will impact on everything from on-field rules to travelling to venues.

Outdoor training is underway for cricket and tennis teams preparing for summer sport.

Tennis is the first cab off the rank, with Central Wimmera Tennis Association busy finalising draws ahead of an October 10 launch. Stawell junior and senior tennis will also start next month.

Start dates for Horsham and Grampians cricket seasons are still being determined.

Stawell tennis club welcoming entries Stawell Tennis Club leaders have welcomed a return to non-contact summer sport and are inviting interested players to sign up for junior and senior competitions.

Committee member Joel Freeland said plenty of people were already keen to be involved following easing of COVID-19 restrictions in regional Victoria.

“We have already received a high volume of entries for all competitions, and the feedback we’re getting is that people are desperate to get back on court,” he said.

“We as a club are rapt that we are able to provide the community an avenue to play sport in these challenging times.”

The club will host Saturday morning junior and Hot Shot tennis from October 10, with a Wednesday night senior competition underway from October 14. The premier Friday night competition will start on October 30.

“All competitions will run through until at least the start of March with a seven-week break over the Christmas holidays,” Mr Freeland said.

“The club will have a COVID-safe plan in place, with processes and guidelines to follow, which will be regularly communicated to players and could alter throughout the season and is dependent on advice from Tennis Victoria.”

People can enter competitions by following prompts on the Stawell Tennis Club Facebook page. Entries for junior tennis close on October 4 and seniors on October 8.

People can call Andrew Dunn on 0438 583 685 for more information.

Katamatite contests RESURRECTION: Horsham’s Brodi Dolan, 15, has used the COVID-19 lockdown period to bring a racing go-kart back to life.

The teenager, despite having little experience in racing go-karts, has used his enthusiasm ‘for tinkering’ to fully restore the machine.

Gerard Bardell last raced in the kart, which had been gathering dust in a shed, about 30 years ago. He gave the kart to Brodi who spent the next two months bringing it back to life. Brodi is now working on another of Mr Bardell’s karts and the pair plan to test them out with Wimmera Kart Racing Club at Dooen. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Horsham Racing Pigeon Club had two races from Katamatite at the weekend.

Katamatite is 316 airline kilometres east of Horsham and pigeons in the races started 40 minutes apart.

An indication that the two races were unaffected by peregrine falcon attacks was that leading pigeons took a similar time to return to their lofts in Horsham.

A Young Bird Championship for 2020 was a race for pigeons in their first year of racing. The second race was open to both firstyear and older race pigeons.

Rob Nelson and the McPhee Family both achieved a win at the weekend and both have now had multiple wins for the 2020 season.

While not scoring a victory, Bruce Rentsch’s pigeons took a second and a third to enable him to be the most consistent member at the weekend.

The winners averaged 70 and 67 kilometres an hour respectively for the 316km flight. Leading pigeons performed well, averaging these speeds into a mild southwesterly breeze.

Results – Young Bird Championship: Rob Nelson at 1133.95 metres a minute was first, 15 seconds ahead of Bruce Rentsch at 1132.91, with Brian Watts, 27 seconds later at 1131.15.

Open: The McPhee Family, in 4 hours 29 mins and 42 seconds and averaging 1174.36 was first from Bruce Rentsch, 43 seconds later at 1171.24, and John Aisbett, 1166.32, 1 minute, nine seconds secs later.

Club racing this weekend will also be from Katamatite.

BAT ON BALL: Jung Tigers all-rounder Chris Eagle drives strongly during a training session at Horsham Community Oval on Dimboola Road. Cricketers are among outdoor sporting enthusiasts making the most of an easing of restrictions.

Club president Conor Lawson said the Tigers were training at 10am on Saturdays and would ramp up sessions to include Thursday evenings with the arrival of daylight savings. He said the Tigers would field A and B grade senior teams and under-12 teams and were exploring further options for the approaching Horsham Cricket Association season. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

rmstrong trainer-driver Jason Ainsworth has trotting mare Sarahleonie Bow in great form and at Laidlaw Park, Stawell, the lightly raced daughter of Down Under Muscles made it three wins from her past four outings.

Motorbikes at Edenhope Edenhope Motorcycle Club will present a Coops Sand Track Ride at Edenhope on Sunday.

off Kaniva Road from 10am. The event will be spectator-free and social-distancing rules will apply.

Organisers will allocate parking in groups of no more than 10 when competitors sign in at the gate.

Ainsworth restrained his charge to the rear of the small field from the start and allowed Sarahleonie Bow to find her rhythm during the first lap of the 2180-metre contest.

The combo then worked forward three-wide to sit outside the leader Dicko Dixon – Michael Stanley – for the second half of the journey.

Sarahleonie Bow trotted solidly from the bell and kept the field running with a 30.2-second quarter, forging to the lead on the final bend.

Ainsworth sat quietly in the run home and Sarahleonie Bow was untroubled to score by 1.5 metres in a rate of 2:04.0.

Since being purchased by Natasha Raven, ‘Sarah’, from eight starts in the Ainsworth colours, has

notched up three wins, three minors, a fourth and a fifth.

Hot shot

Great Western trainer Daryl Crone also enjoyed success at the Stawell fixture when Calvert Hot Shot – Kerryn Manning – came from the tail of the field with a well-timed run to record his 11th career win at start number 150.

Crone took over the care of Calvert Hot Shot in June for owners the Cross family of Maryborough and from 12 starts since, has posted two wins and four seconds.

Manning restrained the eightyear-old gelding at the start and settled three-back in the running line, content to lob along through the middle stages of the 2180-metre journey.

With 600 metres to go, Manning latched onto the back of Miss Chianti – Neil McCallum – for a three-wide forward move, then switched four-wide on the final bend to challenge at the top of the home straight.

Calvert Hot Shot proved too strong over the final stages and scored by a length from Miss

Chianti with Aboutagirl – Xavier O’Connor – holding on for third spot after leading.

Home success

Stawell-owned and trained mare Marjorie Jean made a welcome return to the winners circle with a home-track victory on Wednesday afternoon.

The rising seven-year-old mare had last saluted for owner Steve West and trainer Owen Martin at Hamilton back in January and was overdue for another success.

Drawn out wide in gate six, driver Aaron Dunn elected to press forward during the early part of the 1785-metre trip and with a lap and a half to go, found the spot outside the leader, Wanted Lady – Michael Bellman.

With only a moderate tempo through the middle stages, the race developed into a 400-metre sprint to the line.

Marjorie Jean did best with a final split in 27.5 seconds and cruised to her 12th career victory, six metres in advance of Hookeye Joe – Jackie Barker – with Wanted Lady third.

Veteran amateurs set for Horsham

S

ome of the best male and female veteran amateur golfers in Victoria will tee off for championship titles in a major tournament in Horsham later this year.

Horsham Golf Club will host the prestigious Victorian Senior Amateur Championships from December 16 to 18 in what looms as the first high-profile sporting event in the region since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Horsham club president Leo Delahunty said he was unsure about how many players would take part in the over-55 championships.

But he said a request from Golf Australia to host the event represented a major win for Horsham and the Wimmera.

“Golf Australia asked us if we were keen to run the three-day event and after some toing and froing we said ‘yes’,” he said.

“Last year it was at 13th Beach at Barwon Heads and they had really good numbers but we don’t know how many we will get given all the rules with the lockdown.

“We could have a couple of hundred, but even if it was little more than 100 it would be a great occasion.

“Whatever happens, there are going to be a lot of good golfers in the field. The club is delighted because of the quality of player and also the potential economic spin-off which will be obviously very welcome for the Wimmera.”

Men’s and women’s championship will be 54-hole stroke events and overall are one of two Golf Australia Order of Merit Senior National ranking events in Victoria.

Officials will present trophies for overall gross and nett performances, as well as age-category trophies for 55-59, 60-64, 65-69 and 70-plus.

Victorian Senior Amateur Championships have been contested since 1931, women, and 1995, men.

Played previously as standalone events, the men’s and women’s championships combined in 2015 to be played at the same venue within the same week.

Mr Delahunty said Horsham getting the championships represented a major coup.

“Golf Australia has identified Horsham as a perfect option in presenting one of the key championship events coming out of COVID-19 restrictions,” he said.

“It confirms general recognition in the statewide golfing fraternity about our high-quality course and the setting on offer in Horsham and the Wimmera.”

Golf Australia handicap limits for the championships are 24.4 for men and 36.4 for women.

The event has a maximum limit of 100 women and 100 men.

Entries close at 5pm, November 27.

Rebels seeking new coach Influential Wimmera football export Marc Greig has stepped away from the game to reignite his building career and spend more time with his family.

Greig, who forged a considerable reputation as a Ballarat-based player, coach and development leader, has resigned as coach of Greater Western Victoria Rebels.

The former North Ballarat Roosters and VFL star, who grew up in Horsham, took the under-18 Rebels’ reins at the end of 2017 after finishing with the Roosters.

Greig was a teenage premiership player with the Rebels in 1997. He has maintained strong connections with the Wimmera, playing with Horsham District league club Kalkee early in his football career.

Apart from a glittering period with the Roosters, he also coached Warrack Eagles in Wimmera league.

He said in a story on the Rebels website, “I’ve enjoyed the role of development coach and being able to teach the players as best we could and just to remind them to keep things simple and encouraging them to do the basics well.

“To see where some boys have come to where Wednesday, September 30, 2020

they are now, whether that be some players playing some good senior footy last year after a couple of years in the program or the couple that have gone onto AFL lists, it has been good to see the natural development of most of the boys that have gone through in my time.

“While this COVID period has been hard for a lot of people including myself at times, it has given me a chance to get back on the tools and have my weekends free and nights at home with the kids.

“The COVID time has given me plenty of time to reflect about what I have done over the last 20 years and while I have sacrificed a lot, the decisions I have made have been based around what I want to do and now to free up 30 weekends a year is a pretty enticing prospect at the moment.

“I haven’t spoken to anyone about footy and I won’t, because if I still wanted to do footy stuff I’d still be in the Rebels coaching role.

“I want to go and watch some of my mates that are coaching or still playing in my own leisure on a cold wintry day with a couple of quite ones and feel a bit more normal and without the pressure that comes with coaching at this level.”
