Schools click on By Romy Stephens Schools across the Yarra Ranges will take learning online this week in a bid to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. On 7 April the State Government announced that all Victorian primary, secondary and special schools will move to remote and flexible learning and teaching following advice from the Chief Health Officer. The government assured that free internet access - through supplied SIM cards and dongles - and laptops will be provided to students in need. Meanwhile, Year 12 students will still receive an ATAR score but there will be numerous changes to the academic timetable for VCE and VCAL. Despite there being exceptions made in extremely limited circumstances, the State Government said all students that can work from home must work from home. The decision comes as the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the Yarra Ranges sits at 21. On 12 April, Premier Daniel Andrews also extended Victoria's State of Emergency until 11 May. Mount Evelyn Primary School principal Angela O'Hare said the school's content is ready for the first three days of learning. She said staff will take their time adapting to the new style and keep things as simple as possible. "We're going to be learning as we go but at the moment we're all pretty positive about it and we're pretty well organised," she said. "We as staff had a discussion early on in the piece to say that we were going to have to be adaptable in the expectations we have of the kids." Ms O'Hare said staff have been exploring unique ways to teach primary school students from home. This includes ideas such as using kitchen measuring cups, household items and Lego for maths and counting. "We've been looking at how to teach the content and make it more home-based," she said.

Despite arrangements being made for students that might have difficulty accessing technology, Victoria University's Mitchell Institute warned that the closure of schools will deepen education inequality. The institute's deputy education policy lead, Sergio Macklin, said governments needed to deliver policies that would support the
most disadvantaged students to continue their learning remotely. "Low income families, children with disabilities, Aboriginal children and those from linguistically diverse backgrounds face some of the biggest challenges when learning at home," he said. "These students were already not-well served by the pre-Covid education system and

Victorian government schools will recommence on 14 April with a pupil-free day and students will begin classes on 15 April. The new arrangements will remain in place for the duration of Term 2 and will then be reviewed. 12446776-ACM16-20

Shutdown extended Victoria's State of Emergency has been extended for another month as the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the Yarra Ranges remains at 21. The municipality saw almost a doubling of confirmed cases recently, from 11 on 25 March to over 20 on 8 April, but numbers have not changed over the past five days. Premier Daniel Andrews announced on 12 April that the State of Emergency would be extended until midnight 11 May 2020. It was originally due to expire on 13 April. "There are positive signs our efforts are working - but if we relax now, our hard-won gains will evaporate and people will die," Mr Andrews said. "This is an unprecedented crisis - we need to extend the State of Emergency to help slow the spread of the virus, protect our health system and save lives."
The total number of coronavirus cases in Victoria is 1281, as of Monday 13 April, an increase of 13 from Sunday 12 April. There were no new deaths reported on 12 April. To date, 14 people have died from coronavirus in Victoria. There are only four reasons for Victorians to leave their home: food and supplies, medical care and care giving, exercise, and work or education. Since Sunday morning, 12 April, Victoria Police have conducted 1123 spot checks at homes, businesses and non-essential services and issued 158 fines as part of Operation Sentinel. Among some of the fines handed out to people included six OMCG members gathered in cars in Flinders Street, Melbourne overnight, multiple instances of private gatherings at residential properties, eight people having a party playing loud music and numerous over-
seas tourists holding a party at a rented short stay property. Victoria's Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton urged Victorians to remain vigilant and not erode the gains made in preventing the spread of the virus over Easter. "Now is not the time for complacency. We still have a long way to go," Professor Sutton said. "While we are starting to see some improvement in the rate of transmission, that rate could climb quickly if we lose focus. "We thank those Victorians who overwhelmingly are doing the right thing by staying at home, but we must keep at it to save lives. The Department of Health and Human Services' hotline for public information on Covid-19, is 1800 675 398. Further information is also available at www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus.
Building connection through Lego By Romy Stephens A local non-for-profit organisation's virtual Lego challenge has received a flood of support during its first week of operation. Cire Services' Lock Down Lego Challenge began on 1 April and has seen over 750 members join the challenge since then. Cire's Chirnside Park Community Hub coordinator Naomi Taylor organised the challenge, which sees members build Lego creations based on a new theme each day and then post their build on the Facebook group. Ms Taylor said she first thought of the idea to try and get her son off technology and screens while he was isolated during school holidays. She then flagged the idea with Cire and they created a Facebook group so other families could get involved as well. "There's kind of the secondary benefit, we're amusing the kids and they are getting less screen time but it goes through the parents' Facebook account," she said. "It means that the parent is actually getting that interaction as well." The challenge has seen hundreds of families post pictures of their creations for themes such as circus, easter egg, food, and robots. Ms Taylor said that when school returns, themes will revolve around subjects such as maths. "I'm going to try and put school subjects in like show maths using lego. You could spell out an equation or you could make a pattern," she said. "It would get kids actually using lego to learn more." Ms Taylor said the experience of creating the group and communicating with other parents has really helped her personally during this period of isolation. "I have found it inspiring, I've found that it's actually energised me," she said. "We've been going for a week now and over

the week it's actually transformed how I see this period. "Because I'm trying to post positively on every picture, it's actually changing my mindset." Ms Taylor said that when school goes back she hopes to convert the online group to an after school program or school holiday activity. Cire Services Inc is one of the largest not for profits serving the Yarra Ranges Council area and beyond. To join the lego challenge, join the Lock Down Lego Challenge Facebook Group.

With weekend visits to Yarra Valley wineries off, for now, 29 of the regions’ best producers are bringing their cellar door experience to people’s homes. On 9 April, Wine Yarra Valley kicked off Virtual Cellar Doors, an initiative which will allow wine lovers to head online and visit cellar doors from the comfort of their living room. The visits will take place every Thursday at 5pm in the shape of a video posted to Instagram and then a livestream chat with a winemaker. Head winemaker at Yarra Yering Sarah Crowe said it is an opportunity for wineries to unite during a time of need. “It’s a great community spirited thing to do, particularly at a time like this when all of us have had to close our cellar doors,” she said. Ms Crowe said she hoped the experience will allow more people to understand the beauty of wine. “Wine can be intimidating for people and that’s why visiting the cellar door is such a good experience. Our tasting room staff can be very sympathetic and match their communication styles,” she said. “Hopefully this helps break down some of the stereotypes about wine. “The idea is that customers can interact with us as winemakers and find out what we might cook at home to match with that wine. “I hope they get a deeper understanding of the Yarra Valley, the beautiful wines that come out of there and the passion and commitment of the winemakers.” Ms Crowe added that it’s an important time for people to take a moment to relax with a glass of wine and some sort of social interaction. “A lot of people are quite stressed and have a lot of worries at the moment,” she said. “If we can bring a bit of fun or pleasure to someone’s evening then I think that is beautiful.” To purchase packs, visit wineyarravalley. com.au and to tune into Virtual Cellar Doors follow Wine Yarra Valley on Instagram. Those enjoying their wine are encouraged to post photos on Instagram using the hashtag #YarraValleyAtHome.

‘Supporting local community projects.’
All Yarra Ranges ratepayers are now able to access additional relief for payment of rates, under Council’s first stage of Covid-19 relief measures. The first relief measures include extended payment dates and suspending penalty interest for overdue rates, temporary changes to who can access help through its Hardship Policy and rental relief for businesses and organisations renting a council building. Yarra Ranges Mayor, Richard Higgins said that everyone’s day-to-day lives had been changed by Covid-19 in the past weeks. “We know there are many people in the community who are now doing it tough, because of business changes or closures, employment changing and restrictions impacting the way we live our lives,” he said. “This is an unprecedented situation, where many of us are facing significant changes and challenges - including unexpected financial strain and stress. “Our first stage of relief will give community members some much-needed flexibility during these times.” Council has introduced a number of initiatives for its first stage of relief, including: Due date for payment of current year overdue rates extended until June 2020, with penalty interest suspended during this extended time Any landowner can access payment plans or rates assistance under Council’s revised Hardship Policy, regardless of land usage, with every application assessed on its merit. Assistance can include rates being de-
ferred for 12 months. Anyone seeking help through Council’s Hardship Policy won’t be charged penalty interest or have legal action taken on overdue rates for the period of deferral. Community groups renting Council buildings won’t be charged rent if shut down during the pandemic Businesses renting Council buildings can have rent payments deferred up to six months, with options to review and waive if deemed appropriate Changed payment times for Council suppliers and contractors down to seven days (instead of 30) to get money to businesses faster Cr Higgins said the council had also brought in measures to support restrictions and safety messaging from the State and Federal Governments. “The community’s health and wellbeing is critically important, especially during this time, so we’ve increased cleaning of public facilities to help reduce the spread of the virus wherever we can,” he said. “We know businesses are having to change their practices rapidly, so we’ve temporarily relaxed our restrictions on takeaway and home delivery so any food business can make the switch easily and continue trading while meeting the Stage 3 restrictions.” Cr Higgins encouraged businesses impacted by Covid-19 to contact the Economic Development team on 1300 368 333 for questions or support.

OPINION
Covid - a GP’s perspective By Dr Lachlan Fraser To aid in social distancing telehealth is now available for any patient to talk to their GP, depending on their clinic, and possibly for specialists as well. These are done by phone or can be a video call via apps such as Zoom, Skype, Facetime or Messenger on your phone or computer. Consultations can be bulk billed or supported by Medicare if billed privately. Online medical services exist if your clinic is not available. Allied health professionals may also access this system, particularly psychologists. Prescriptions can be collected or faxed to the chemist, whom you contact to arrange dispensing. Home deliveries may be an option. Some clinics have moved to texting or emailing scripts to the patient, and this is being developed to interact with pharmacies. Chemists can dispense one month of medications previously prescribed if the clinic is unable to help you when needed. Clinics have further improved their hygiene practices and streamlined appointment times. Chairs in waiting rooms have been spread out, whilst some patients wait in their cars before being called in. You can attend in person, and in some cases it will be necessary. Health workers are using masks to protect themselves and patients. Staying well physically and mentally is important as current restrictions are likely for some months. You can talk to your doctor about concerns with coronavirus. General information about electronic counselling is at https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/ etherapy. The Australian Psychological Society has useful fact sheets about mental health and coronavirus on https://www.psychology.org. au/COVID-19-Australians. APS can help find a psychologist on https://www.psychology.org. au/Find-a-Psychologist.
Dr Lachlan Fraser. There are a number of private services found by searching “Australian psychology online services”, with variation in fees (if charged), location in Australia and whether they offer conventional or alternative treatments. Government-funded free drug and alcohol counselling is available 24/7 at https://www. counsellingonline.org.au/. Domestic violence information is found on https://www.respect. gov.au/. These are unprecedented times for most of us, presenting enormous challenges. Knowledge is power - stay informed from reliable sources. Be wary of information overload and overuse of social media, with one or two news services a day, perhaps some special editions, being enough. The health systems of wealthy countries are
being overloaded, and the prospect of disaster in the third world is saddening. It is common to have difficulties getting or staying asleep, or early wakening. This could just mean you have more hours in a busy day. Medical or psychological advice may be needed, possibly with medication added. Anxiety and depression may present - watch for suicidal thoughts. Beyond Blue is a good reference. Watch for excess drug or alcohol use, paranoia, hypervigilance, hyperactivity or bizarre behaviour - psychosis or mania can develop. These months are a time to slow down and reset our lives for most people. It’s a time to do old and new activities at home, and to engage in electronic communications to connect with people. Take up new exercises. There is a vast array of incredible online shopping, cultural tours and events, plus educational and rec-
reational activities for young and old. Try to avoid getting on each other’s nerves in your lifeboat, and reach out if you are home alone. Through vigilant social distancing and hygiene, plus staying home as much as possible, Australia’s growth curves appear to be flattening. Do this for yourself, for the vulnerable population and for health and essential service workers. It is likely that there are some people in our local community with mild symptoms who have coronavirus. It is possible that they are infectious in the days before onset of symptoms. Unwell people should self-isolate as much as practicable, and otherwise wear a mask and use hand hygiene, seeking medical care if needed. The list of those with respiratory illness or fever (>38 degrees) who should be swabbed has now been expanded to include age 65 or older; or those with immunosuppression (may be due to leukaemia, lymphoma, myelodysplasia, HIV, transplants or medications, including prednisolone or methotrexate 20 mg/d or more); or undergoing chemotherapy/radiotherapy; or disability care workers; or police, childcare or school staff working with the public within two weeks. It is not suggested to wear a mask in public and use up scarce resources. In the United States where there is much higher community transmission they have advised all to use a face covering. Most of our cases have, in the previous 14 days, come from overseas or been in contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus. We will get through this, and there can be positive growth in this unique experience. In this new world order, let’s stay the Lucky Country. Dr. Lachlan Fraser has worked as a GP in Marysville for the past 20 years and founded the Marysville Marathon after the Black Saturday bushfires to help the town's recovery.
An important message from the Victorian Government
STAGE 3 RESTRICTIONS ARE NOW IN PLACE. That means there are only four reasons to be out.
Shopping for food and supplies that you need.
Exercise.
Medical care and caregiving.
Work and education – if necessary.

Animal welfare during Covid-19 shutdown Animal

Anzac Day’s new dawn By Russell Bennett A sea of people standing as one, their faces almost indistinguishable but their collective presence felt as they reflect silently at the break of dawn. A single flame lights the scene as the sounds of battle echo through the streets. The Emerald RSL Anzac Day dawn service has become an annual fixture for an untold number of people throughout the hills community over the years - particularly in recent times after the establishment of the Anzac Place memorial. It’s become one of the most revered sites in the hills - even sacred to some - but this year, those famous, spine-tingling scenes will take a different form as the community continues to come to grips with the battle against Covid-19. Government restrictions on public gatherings will prevent the usual Emerald Anzac Day dawn service from taking place, as the hills community knows it, later this month, but the local RSL branch will still be commemorating perhaps Australia’s most significant day. Like many around the country, the Emerald RSL branch has drawn inspiration from a simple idea by Ballarat man Justin Wilbur on just how local residents can pay their respects on Anzac Day, albeit from a distance. “At dawn, people can stand on their front porch or their nature strip with a candle and recite the Ode,” longtime Emerald RSL figurehead and former president Peter Maloney said. “If everyone does that in Emerald that morning it’ll be such a moving scene, particularly if - as encouraged - they play The Last Post. “Everyone will do their own thing in their own way, but they’ll still be remembering and it’ll be a kind of private Anzac Day.” Mr Maloney also hopes that Puffing Billy will make a return to Anzac Place for its traditional whistle salute. With Anzac Day falling on a Saturday this year, the Emerald RSL was originally going to hold a large service at the local AFL Outer East football derby between Emerald and Gembrook Cockatoo. The Emerald Football Club, in conjunction with the RSL, even had special guernseys made up to mark the occasion. “We had it all worked out - we even had special playing jumpers made with the names of all 38 Emerald men who lost their lives in both the first and second world wars printed on the red sash of the Emerald Football Club jumper,” Mr Maloney said. “That was going to be special, but we’ve still mailcommunity.com.au
got them and what we’re now planning to do is to postpone that service until the footy starts again.” The Emerald RSL, through one of its members - writer-producer Christine Weller - has also commissioned a special Anzac Day video this year, which will be distributed throughout the RSL network. In it, Aussie acting legend Jack Thompson reads The Ode, there’s the playing of The Last Post, and there’s footage of what an Anzac Day ceremony in the current climate will look like. Eric Bogle also plays a key role, with his iconic song 'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda'. But of course the Emerald RSL means so much more to the hills community than simply its involvement on Anzac Day or Remembrance Day. It also provides a major support network for its members, and the broader community, and is there right when times are tough. “We’re still the Emerald RSL, and we’re still made up of the same wonderful people,” Mr Maloney said. “It’s just a matter now of finding a different way of staying in touch and interacting with each other at this time, while abiding by the social isolation rules in place today. “I think mateship - genuine mateship - is something we’ve taken for granted up until now. Your friends are just around the corner and always have been, but now they might as well be a million miles away. “Still, thanks to modern technology and programs such as Zoom or Skype, at least you’ve got a chance to chat with each other in a group setting.” Members of the Emerald RSL have already met up for a beer - from a safe distance - over video conferencing software Zoom, and it’s planned that the club’s regular Thursday night meetings will be conducted that way for the foreseeable future. “There are probably two aspects to this one is the normal welfare aspect of the Emerald RSL,” Mr Maloney explained. “That continues - we’re still in contact with all our members, and our welfare officer is totally aware of the people in need and wherever necessary maintains contact - even if it’s not one-on-one, still face-to-face. “Of course the other aspect is that the club does provide a social venue for interaction between the club members, and that’s now gone. “We’re not allowed to go anywhere near the club, so I guess that led me to the idea that we should at least keep in contact with each other and do it through modern technology.”
Animal Aid CEO Mark Menze. We are disinfecting surfaces hourly; we have sanitiser in all reception areas and are enforcing spatial distancing protocols. We have made adjustments to every aspect of our operations to ensure we can continue working hard for the sake of our community. If you have been considering adopting, now might be the perfect time. Please visit our website to see all the animals we have available for adoption and give the teams a call before you come down.

Thank you to the essential workers for their incredible efforts during these unprecedented times. I thank those in the community who overwhelmingly are doing the right thing by staying at home. I know it is difficult, but we must keep at it to save lives. I have seen many examples of heart-warming acts of kindness from our local community and I have no doubt we will all get through these troubling times together. Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you need assistance on 03 9754 5401 or at james.merlino@parliament.vic.gov.au 12446757-NG16-20

There is no doubt that we are living in unprecedented times. Our lives have changed, but Animal Aid will do everything we can to remain operational throughout this crisis and well into the future. Our animal care teams provide an essential service to our community. Animals are not immune to the hardships of economic crisis; when living situations change and livelihoods are impacted there is an increase in animals needing new homes. Animals come to be into our care for a number of reasons. Some come to us because they were found wondering the streets, others are relinquished because their families are unable to give them everything they need. At Animal Aid it is our mission to provide a refuge for the lost, unwanted and abandoned animals in our community. For us to continue receiving animals in need, it is important that we are able to send animals out, and into wonderful new homes. This will not be possible unless we keep our workforce as well as the community healthy. Government regulations are getting tighter, but we are vigilant in our commitment to safety for everyone who comes through our doors. We have advanced hygiene and cleaning procedures.

SPORT
Bradman of the Bush By Daniel Clark Few names in Australian sport are as recognisable, respected or renowned as that of Bradman. It's a name associated with greatness, determination, passion and class, and one which brings with these characteristics a level of humbleness unrivalled for such incredible achievement. It's fitting, then, that one of the few cricketers around the country good enough to be dubbed, the Bush Bradman, is Monbulk Cricket Club's Jason Fraser - a man who teammates and opponents alike over the past three decades would agree possesses each of these wonderful traits. Raised in the small town of Monbulk, 42 kilometres east of Melbourne, Fraser was the eldest of four children to father Jim and mother Loraine - a family who adored sport and all achieved great success with the tight-knit community's various teams. His siblings, younger brother Travis and twins Christian and Amber, were blessed to have such wonderful role models to look up to. Fraser's path to cricket success started early, following in his father's footsteps and commencing his career with the club in the mid1980s. Jim, a talented bowler himself who played with the club for more than 30 years, winning numerous premierships, was quick to get young Jason into the sport he loved so much and his young son's prodigious talent was obvious from the start - spent dominating the Ferntree Gully and District Cricket Association's (FTGDCA) junior batting and bowling charts regularly, and being rewarded with selection in various representative sides. There was also room for premierships in his U14 and U16 years. His future was earmarked for senior success and that soon followed. As a nervous, yet unwavering 14-year-old, Fraser commenced his senior cricket career in the summer of 1988-89, and while the individual returns were modest, the platform for success was being built. The rewards for the strong foundation followed the next season, with the teenager averaging almost 50.00 with the bat and notching his first senior ton - a magnificent and unbeaten 116. Succeeding with both bat and ball, and encouraged by all those who watched him play, Fraser soon realised his potential and ventured down the hill to try his luck with Victorian Premier Cricket side, Richmond. His time at Richmond started in the club's lower grades, however the rewards for his persistence and hard work soon followed. He was first selected as a member of the Victorian Under-19s team, playing alongside the likes of Australian great Andrew Symonds, and during the season of 1992-93 he was awarded his 1st XI club cap - becoming the 488th player to represent Richmond in 1st XI competition, following in the footsteps of another Monbulk Cricket Club legend, Ken Utting, who wore cap 409. Across seven seasons with the Tigers, Fraser would go on to play many more games in the 1st XI and achieve great success, however despite this, at the end of the 1996-97 season he yearned a return to Monbulk and ever since, he's terrorised the opposition. The honours achieved by Fraser since his return to his spiritual home are second to none, and his records, quite simply, will never be broken. 1997-98 V.C.C.L.

Jason Fraser in action for Monbulk Cricket Club. taken 487 wickets. His highest score, an unbeaten 210 against Lysterfield in 1997-98, was the highlight of a phenomenal season where he scored 1,111 runs at a Bradman-esque average of 92.58. From a senior perspective, which has essentially all been in the Club's 1st XI, he surpassed the 10,000 run milestone this season and has taken more than 400 wickets - figures which are unrivalled in not just the FTGDCA, but community cricket world-wide. His 22 1st XI centuries is also a record unlikely to ever be broken. While the list of honours and mind-boggling statistics are impressive enough, arguably even more so is ability to defy the aging process. While most 46-year-olds are slogging their way through veterans cricket every second Sunday or yelling abuse from beyond the boundary, Fraser spent his 2019-20 season dominating FTGDCA's DeCoite Shield competition. The ageless star turned in yet another incredible season, scoring 696 runs at 77.33, including a majestic 118 against Mountain Gate in early November. His dominance at the top
Picture: COURTESY FIELD OF VIEW SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY of the order helped pave the way for the Club's 13th 1st XI premiership, being awarded the honour last week after an abandoned grand final due to COVID-19. A day earlier, he took out his seventh FTGDCA Best and Fairest Award - a record unlikely to be broken anytime soon. Beyond the records and honours, Jason Fraser has always been and continues to be one of - if not the most - likeable players in the FTGDCA, and he continues to give back to the club he's called home for more than 30 years. Yet again following in his father Jim's footsteps, he too now coaches one a junior side and his two young sons, Jed and Mitch, are also developing their skills in the club's strong junior program. His value to the Club extends beyond the field, something highlighted in the words of Club President Jason Simmonds this week. "In my 35 years of senior cricket at various clubs, in various competitions, quite simply in my humble and honest opinion - Jason Fraser would be the most gifted local grade cricketer I have ever had the privilege of playing alongside," Jason said.
"To see his exploits up close on field for over 20 years at the Monbulk Cricket Club has been like having front row tickets to the best show in town. Whether it be with bat, ball, or in the field, this guy's talent continues to astound and amaze teammates, opponents and spectators alike. "But this ability didn't come about by luck. Although Jason has been blessed with a brilliant natural ability, it is his dedication to training and his want to get the absolute best out of himself, week in week out, year after year, which is why it's absolutely no surprise he has become the magnificent player we see today. "But even more importantly to his family, close friends, and others who have been fortunate enough to cross paths with him, all would agree that it is the wonderful human traits that comes naturally to Jason that makes him so special to so many." Rarely will you find a stronger character reference than that provided above, but then again, rarely will you find a person more deserving than the Bush Bradman, Jason Fraser. mailcommunity.com.au

Pony comp pushes online By Romy Stephens The Upper Yarra Pony Club will host its dressage jackpot through video this month so riders can still compete from the safety of their home. Amid Covid-19 concerns, the competition couldn’t be held at the pony club. But organisers decided it could still go ahead if competitors filmed themselves and sent it in to be judged. District commissioner Anita Prowse said the club hoped to keep riders engaged and entertained despite having to be isolated. “We’re trying to keep them active, trying to keep them training towards something,” she said. “You get in a real lull when you’re stuck in a situation, when there’s nothing in the foreseeable future for you to be training your horse for. “To keep their head in the game and actually have something to work towards and look forward to is really important.” Ms Prowse said the competition was originally only open for a pony club section but once word got out, there was a high demand for an adult section. “I’ve had so many adult riders saying ‘please open a section for us’,” she said.
“Honestly, there’s probably more adults going for it then kids.” The competition will host open sections 3, 4 and 5 as well as a pony club section. Contestants will be required to film themselves doing dressage tests on a large flat grass area. “For most of us locally that have a bit of land
and a horse it is quite easy, they don’t need a fancy arena,” Ms Prowse said. “The other thing is it takes out the travel so people from say Swan Hill who wouldn’t have come down can do this easily.” Video footage must be clear, uninterrupted and filmed from where the judge would typically sit.
Pony club section competitors will also be required to wear uniforms. Entry is available at https://eventsecretary. com.au/equestrian/#Entry:8558 and tests must be submitted by midday 26 April. For more information, contact Ms Prowse on 0409 953 345.
Clubs encouraged to apply for Towards Zero grants Football clubs are being encouraged to get involved in educating their communities on the importance of road safety, with the state government announcing clubs will soon be able to apply for their share of the $1.3 million Toward Zero Club grants program. As sporting clubs are often the lifeblood of
communities, the state government believes it is important these clubs encourage their players, families and supporters to drive safely on the roads. Lake Wendouree Football Club in the Goldfields League used their successful grant to help pay for a new electronic scoreboard that
will play TAC road safety ads during matches in 2020. "It has been heartening to see such a remarkable response to this program from Victorian clubs that are passionate about road safety and ensuring their members make it to and from every game safely," Minister for Roads,
Road Safety and the TAC, Jaala Pulford said. Clubs from all across Victoria are invited to apply for grants of up to $10,000 by demonstrating their commitment to keep their participants safe on the road. Applications open on 1 April - for more information visit www. towardszeroclubgrants.com.
