Kealy: Be prepared V

BY DEAN LAWSON

ictoria’s political representative for much of the Wimmera and Western District has called for people to brace themselves for a potential lockdown extension.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said communities needed to also be aware of residual mental-health issues, even if the state lifted restrictions as planned. She also called on the State Government to adopt a system that eased restrictions in regional areas clear of the virus, such as in New South Wales,

while concentrating on COVIDsuppression and confinement efforts in outbreak areas. “Everyone across the region needs to not only prepare for a lockdown extension but to also consider further lockdowns in the near future,” she said. “This will be the case until the vaccination program can be sorted between authorities and start taking effect.” Ms Kealy said many people were sick of a ‘blame game’ occurring between federal and state politicians regarding the latest virus outbreak and immunisation schedule. “There is a powerful message out

there that people, while prepared and willing to do whatever is necessary, are also frustrated and angry that they were again in this situation,” she said. “They just want the people they have put in charge and getting paid with taxpayer money to resolve it so they can get on with living their lives. “Here, we just want a measured response. I strongly believe that when there are clearly no identifiable cases in regional Victoria that regions such as the Wimmera should not be locked up. If the issue is in Melbourne, then manage it in Melbourne. “The only time a government should be using a statewide lockdown is

when they’ve totally lost control.” Ms Kealy, the Victorian opposition spokesperson for mental health, said it was imperative people were acutely aware of what they needed to do to look after themselves, family and friends. She said the mental-health dangers surfacing with latest circumstances were ‘quite real’. “This lockdown could go on for a bit longer or quickly happen again, so we need to continue to engage with family and friends, exercise and use whatever tools available to maintain connections,” she said. “In short, there is much we can’t

change. But what we can control is how we look after ourselves and each other. It is often doing the little things that can make all the difference.” Businesses and major community and sporting organisations were in a holding pattern yesterday as they awaited a restrictions update, due tomorrow. Major sporting leagues and associations had prepared fixtures for this weekend in anticipation of resumption of sport as part of a ‘bestcase scenario’. • The Weekly Advertiser has published sporting previews based on competitions going ahead as planned.

Horsham Rural City Council will host a Coronavirus information webinar with esteemed health physician and former Wimmera General Practitioner Dr Rob Grenfell next Thursday night.

Dr Grenfell will provide an overview of COVID, vaccines and pandemics, before responding to questions from attendees. Mayor Robyn Gulline will host the Q & A session which starts at 7pm on 10 June.

Grenfell in engaging with community members throughout this process,” Cr Gulline said.

“This is an opportunity for our community to hear from a genuine expert when it comes to COVID-19,” she said. Dr Grenfell is a public health physician and is the director of the CSIRO’s Health and Biosecurity Business Unit.

“It is important that people are provided with correct information about COVID and vaccines.

He leads a broad portfolio covering nutrition, e-health, medical technology and diagnostics and biosecurity from weeds to Ebola.

This is why we have involved Dr

Dr Grenfell was a member of the

Safety and Quality Outcomes Committee of the Hospital Innovation Reform Council, a member of the Victorian Quality Council, Chair of General Practice Victoria and Member of the Health Advisory Committee of the National Health and Medical Research Council. Council will also reconvene the local agencies network to discuss the effective promotion and rollout of COVID vaccines and other current COVID issues. More information on attending the webinar and how to submit a question will be provided via Council’s website, hrcc.vic.gov.au

WHEN CUSTOMER SERVICE REOPENS, IT WILL BE AT THE NEW TEMPORARY LOCATION

Here we are in lockdown again and I sincerely hope that everybody is coping okay. I especially feel for our hospitality and tourism businesses who will no doubt be hurting financially. I encourage all Horsham and district people to keep supporting our cafes, restaurants and pubs whenever you get the chance. Once again, the one good thing about the Covid pandemic is that it has reminded us that we are fortunate to live here in the Wimmera with such a good urban/rural balance. It’s a shame that our return to prepandemic normality has been halted. I was really enjoying having community sport back on the weekends, as well as all of our local services clubs operating at full strength. I have also enjoyed seeing the public allowed to attend the April and May Council meetings. Before becoming a Councillor I was one of the regular attendees in the chamber. I went to my first meeting back in 2005 after a discussion with a fellow Rostrum member George Powell, who also attended council meetings on a regular basis.

People will move around the hall to eight separate stations, where they can either learn more about what’s happening with a specific project or share their own thoughts. All contributions will inform further planning and design of projects currently under consideration by HRCC. A pop-up expo at Jubilee Hall this month will allow residents to seek information and contribute to projects currently underway in Horsham Rural City Council. The Why We Live Here expo will run from Tuesday 15 June to Friday 18 June, with Council staff on hand to discuss projects that aim to improve the liveability and vibrancy of our region.

Projects: - Planning for Health and Wellbeing - Improving bike paths and walking tracks - Upgrades to Horsham Skate Park - Updates to Local Law - Redevelopment Plan for Sawyer Park & City Oval - Planning for arts and culture - Improving street trees and shade - More pop-up parks and parklets

BOOSTS FOR TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE PLANS Horsham Rural City Council has moved a step closer to having both additional vehicle and pedestrian river crossings after recent funding milestones for the respective projects. The Commonwealth Government last week announced $100,000 in funding for Council and Regional Roads Victoria to plan for a second river crossing as part of an alternative truck route. Another traffic bridge across the Wimmera River is one of Council’s key transport priorities, and HRCC committed $100,000

in its 2020-2021 Budget for design work. Meanwhile Council at this week’s May meeting resolved to adopt a plan to fund the Hamilton Street Pedestrian Bridge using a combination of Commonwealth and Victorian Government money. It means the pedestrian bridge can move to the tendering stage, with $1.1 million to be used from an existing federal government grant via the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.

HRCC will also apply for $1.25 million from Regional Development Victoria (RDV). Mayor Robyn Gulline said having both additional vehicle and pedestrian bridges was the ideal outcome for Horsham. “Horsham does not need to choose between a pedestrian and road bridge, we can achieve both,” she said. Cr Gulline said the location for the truck route and bridge would be determined during the next stage of planning work.

Now that I am a Councillor, I’m enjoying getting up to debate the various agenda items and advocating for the whole community on issues that arise. At the moment we have a good number of people who follow what’s happening at Council. To have people from the community interested in Council and an understanding of how it all works is a good thing. At our Council, meetings are held on the fourth Monday of each month (apart from December) and the agenda is made available to the public at 5pm on the Thursday before. If you wish to raise a question during public question time, you are welcome to complete the public question time form and lodge it with Council by 5pm on the Friday prior to the Council meeting. So if you are interesting in learning more about how Council meetings work, I’d encourage you to come along or watch online from the comfort of your own home. Over the past few months I have been getting out and about to engage with the community as it's important for all of us to be working together and moving the community forward in a positive and sustainable direction. It’s great to see so many people with lots of good ideas for the future of our regional city. Let’s hope we can resume our Covid recovery sooner rather than later.

Pushing an important message BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera-Mallee community leaders are urging residents to join in a physical challenge designed to shine a light on Australia’s suicide problem and raise money for mental-health support services.

Headspace Horsham, Laharum Football Netball Club, CHS Group and ACE Radio Horsham are among organisations leading the charge for this year’s Push-Up Challenge, which involves participants completing 3318 push-ups in 25 days. The numbers are significant, with 3318 lives lost to suicide in 2019. One in four young Australians will experience a mental-health issue, with 75 percent of these disorders developing by the age of 25. The challenge started yesterday and runs until June 25. ACE Radio plans to use assets The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM to raise awareness of mental-health issues in the region and supporting roles people can play, in partnership with headspace Horsham. Headspace Horsham challenge organiser Andrea Coxon said last year, more than 98,000 young Australians accessed a headspace centre for help. More than 18,000 had experienced suicidal thoughts or behaviour. “This reinforces the crucial role of services such as headspace as an entry point for young people and their families,” Ms Coxon said. She said the Push-Up Challenge was a fun way to not only get active and increase fitness, but also to raise awareness of the importance of

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER suicide prevention and good mental health. “Sign up with your family, friends, form a team with your workmates or your sporting club. We want as many people as possible from across the Wimmera to join in,” she said. Laharum Football Netball Club is among regional clubs that have jumped at the opportunity to participate. Club leader and youth counsellor at Grampians Community Health Hamish Roberts said sporting clubs played a vital role in community life. “People spend a lot of time and energy there,” he said. “As a club, we want to raise awareness of mental-health issues and en-

courage people who need a bit of help to speak up, in a safe, supportive environment. “We also want to ensure our members know about the services available to them in the region, and how they can contact them.” Mr Roberts said the Push-Up Challenge, Australia’s largest mental health and fitness event, was a great way to raise awareness. “It’s something a bit left-field, it creates a conversation,” he said. “The more we talk about mental health, the better.” Laharum leaders will run a group push-up session, to tie into the challenge, at a Thursday night training session at Cameron Oval.

“We’ll have all the junior and senior footballers and netballers congregating together to do some push-ups towards our total,” he said. “We were supposed to have it this week, before the government announced the lockdown, but will reschedule to the first Thursday night we are able to. “I’m hoping this is something we can do every year, and continue to keep having these conversations.” ACE Radio Horsham announcer Adam Roche said people could tune into radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM for challenge updates, along with interviews shining a light on a ‘desperate’ need for mental-health support in the region.

“Mental health is a much bigger issue and concern than we like to admit,” he said. Mr Roche said plans were underway for ‘The Final Push’, on the radio station’s front lawn overlooking the Wimmera River on June 25. “We will have an outside broadcast featuring special guests from throughout the community, along with some good food to help raise money and awareness,” he said. “The support services in our region are stretched and are in need of assistance, so we want to help them out as much as possible.” The challenge is free to participate in, although people can raise money for mental-health services. Both Laharum Football Netball Club and ACE Radio have chosen to raise money for headspace Horsham. Ms Coxon said the organisation provided free counselling and support to regional young people aged 12 to 25, on a wide range of issues affecting their lives, from relationships to anxiety and depression, bullying, alcohol and drugs. “By taking part in the Push-Up Challenge and pledging your support to headspace Horsham, you’re helping to not only support these important local services, but also the mental health of young people across our community,” she said. “Schools, football and netball clubs and businesses from right across the Wimmera have already signed up, so we encourage everybody to get involved.” People can visit www.thepushup challenge.com.au/headspace-Horsh am to register for the challenge as an individual or team.

Art is... festival organisers hopeful for live music event A Wimmera musician is confident an art and culture event in Horsham will provide a unique opportunity for creatives to showcase original content. Horsham musician Beau Ladlow said this weekend’s Art is… festival Winter Warmer Bonfire event at Horsham Showground would be an opportunity for his band to play original music in front of a live audience. The event will celebrate Wimmera artists and musicians, combining a range of live music, performing arts, dance workshops, community singalongs and food markets. The event will be subject to changes due to a seven-day stage-four cir-

cuit-breaker COVID-19 lockdown in place until Thursday night. Ladlow, who is the vocalist in Horsham four-piece band Trapezoid, said he was grateful for the festival’s commitment to providing a platform for original musicians to perform. “Art is… festival is creating opportunities for performers and creatives to foster their skills and do that professionally rather than just a hobby,” he said. “They are bringing people together with similar interests and fostering that professional approach to creativity.” Trapezoid will join other original bands including headline act Danny

Walsh Banned, fronted by Donald musician Danny Walsh, and Warracknabeal psychedelic rock band Gypsy Love Muscle. Ladlow’s band formed about two years ago after band members, including lead guitarist Dave Patterson, bassist Damien Ballinger and James McMurtrie, crossed paths at the 2019 Nati Frinj festival. “With our members, it’s four different angles of music, but all with this parallel perspective – a metaphor for our band name Trapezoid,” Ladlow said. The band has performed at venues across Halls Gap, Pomonal and at Grampians Music Festival. But Lad-

low said Art is… festival would be the band’s first ever Horsham gig. “It’s great that we get to perform in our home town because it’s a bit harder to get original music off the ground here,” he said. “There’s a lot of cover music in Horsham, which is fantastic. But I feel it’s important to keep our band original because it speaks more to our passion and allows us to create more authentically. It’s really important for the region.” The festival committee will keep the public updated on the event’s status and member Cassy Velinos said she hoped the State Government would lift restrictions in time.

“We will be reassessing after lockdown is expected to end tomorrow and following all relevant COVID restriction guidelines,” she said. “We’re super excited to celebrate coming out of lockdown with our friends and family – it’s going to be a blast.” Entry is a ‘pay-as-you-feel’ donation at the gate. Organisers are encouraging people to register for their tickets online at www.artiswimmera.com/ event-details/winter-warmer.

Anger over poisoned pines S

BY DEAN LAWSON

everal Natimuk residents are angry over the poisoning of a group of ageing pine trees, set for clearing as part of environmental work on Natimuk Creek.

The residents believe the trees, dating back to shortly after the First World War, were of historic and cultural significance. They are now investigating the significance of the trees, suspecting they were part of an avenue of honour planted to acknowledge the town’s sacrifice during the war. Natimuk resident and historian Keith Lockwood said the poisoning had included ‘four or five’ large mature trees along both Lake Road and Lake Avenue. He said the trees had originally formed an avenue that had previously stretched from within the Natimuk town boundary to at least halfway to Natimuk Lake. He said he could well remember the row of pines opposite his home in Lake Avenue. “Many of the trees have now died or fallen over because of old age, which means the few remaining ones are all the more important,’’ he said. Mr Lockwood said he and his wife Sally noticed about four of the pines had suddenly turned brown. Closer inspection revealed closely spaced holes drilled around the trunk of the trees. A handful of other trees, which were still green, had no holes in their trunk. “It’s pretty upsetting to see our heritage killed in such a manner, especially without consultation with the community,’’ Mr Lockwood said.

PLANTED WITH CARE: Natimuk resident Keith Lockwood is angry exotic pine trees along Natimuk Creek, which he suspects were part of an avenue of honour planted to acknowledge the town’s sacrifice during the First World War, are being treated as invasive weeds. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Natimuk Urban Landcare Group was working on a Natimuk Lake rehabilitation project that included the removal of ‘woody weeds’ to allow for significant revegetation. Group president Carolynne Hamdorf said the group was working with stakeholders and had gained all necessary permissions for the project. She said the group had also appointed ‘very’ experienced Landcare contractors for the work and had followed best-practice guidelines. “The creek is in a very poor state and subject to increased salinity and

needs revegetating to increase overall health and biodiversity,” she said. “The Landcare group is dedicated to improving the environmental circumstances in and around Natimuk, which includes the creek, not only for now, but into the future. We’re very invested in our community.” But Mr Lockwood argued that the affected exotic pine trees were not invasive weeds. “They were planted with care by our forebears – some even still had their original tree guards,” he said. “The tree guards surely should have

alerted those responsible that the trees were deliberately planted and held special significance.” Wimmera Catchment Management Authority is also investigating circumstances. Chief executive David Brennan confirmed the authority had sent ‘please explain’ correspondence to the Landcare group. “We take these concerns extremely seriously and we need to understand the facts,” he said.

Support for businesses Business Horsham has outlined latest lockdown business-support programs announced by the State Government. Business Horsham ambassador Stacey Taig said the packages included a Business Costs Assistance Program, Licensed Hospitality Venue Fund 2021 and Victorian Events Support Package. “Business Horsham encourages all members to apply where at all possible,” she said. “If you are unsure if you fit the eligibility criteria, please call Business Victoria on 132215. “To submit an application please head to the Business Victoria website www. business.vic.gov.au. “If you do not fit the criteria and feel that you still require assistance, please contact us so that we are aware of your situation, and to enable us to ascertain if we can help in some way.” The Business Costs Assistance Program provides $2500 grants for eligible employing and non-employing businesses most impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown. This includes businesses operating in an industry that cannot operate under the circuit-breaker restrictions and which cannot work remotely. Applications open today. The Licensed Hospitality Venue Fund 2021 is a round of funding that provides businesses holding eligible liquor licence and food certificates with a $3500 grant per premises. Applications open today. The Victorian Events Support Package includes a dedicated $20-million to support event operators who have incurred losses due to the circuit-breaker.

Government relationships crucial T

here seems little doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to expose a fragility in just how federal and state governments share responsibilities.

At least that’s how it seems when considering the governance relationship between the Commonwealth and Victoria. A general layperson analysing the messages about how the respective governments work together, would be

that it is a serious struggle. We’ve said it before, but COVID-19 issues surrounding everything from quarantine projects and procedures to the vaccination roll-out, aged-care and business support have seriously exposed an unproductive arm-wrestle in wills and ambiguities in understanding. If we didn’t know it already, it suggests that this us-and-them approach has been proliferating just below the surface of politics for some time. And the shackles are tight.

We’re often confronted with the question, ‘who do we listen to – the feds or the state?’ Ultimately, it all falls short of generating confidence that our great federa-

done well in relative terms – but fear the political push and shove represents an unnecessary hurdle in shoring up overall community security. A sense that the Commonwealth, perhaps inadvertently, seems to be treating Victoria like another country – perhaps similar to how the State Government might almost consider the regions as other states – is far from comfortable. Let’s just get it right gang!

tion, for all its benefits in national solidarity, actually works when applied to important elements of ground-level governance. Is it politics, process, structure, bureaucracy or just the people involved that are the issue? Many of us can surmise that there is work to be done in sorting this relationship dilemma. We obviously have outstanding medical professionals on the frontline in battling the virus – we’ve so far

Legal battle continues Cultural and environmental management of a major highway project south of Ararat is under a microscope this week as a Supreme Court trial continues to assess a corruption allegation claim. Major Road Projects Victoria’s 12-kilometre section of a Western Highway duplication project between Buangor and Ararat is on hold. Lawyers representing the State Government will fight to dismiss Djab Wurrung woman Marjorie Thorpe’s claims that a cultural-heritage management plan prepared in 2013 to advise the project’s direction was a ‘deficient’ document. Ms Thorpe alleges a deal regarding the plan between Martang, the initial Aboriginal corporation responsible for the land, and the State Government might have been illegal. Proceedings will continue today in what will be the last of a threeday Supreme Court hearing. The project has continued to be the subject of ongoing legal battles since Supreme Court Justice Jacinta Forbes extended a temporary ban on the works late last year.

QUICK FIX: Horsham property manager Mark Abbott uses a splash of cold water to remove frost from the windscreen of his car. Wimmera residents have woken to frosty mornings in the past week with temperatures dropping below zero. The region has now entered a milder weather pattern, but with the absence of frost also comes the absence of a clear sky. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Slash-and-burn approach

SIR, – Numerous trees in the Sunnyside hospital area have been removed in recent weeks. For example, in Gillespie and Wettenhall streets, there are few trees left. There is one tree at the Wettenhall end and three established trees at the eastern, river end – one young Australian tree that was planted by the resident with council permission and only two other small council trees. Trees have been removed in George Street and Sunnyside Avenue. Of course, the bureaucrats will tell us that these trees were diseased and while that might be the case with some, certainly not all of these well established and attractive trees needed to be removed. Also, few trees were under power lines and did not require constant trimming. There are no trees on the western side

of Read Street behind the hospital where numerous cars park daily. Arnott Street has few trees at the eastern end and Rennison Street is equally bare. There are probably numerous additional streets where a tree is not to be seen. Unfortunately, in areas where trees were removed several years ago, in many cases, they were never replaced. Horsham streets are in many cases bare and barren environments. In the meantime, council workers continue to plant rows of frilly annuals in our roundabouts. The botanic gardens are meticulously cosseted and manicured, for the enjoyment of the few folks who venture into the gardens. Horsham experiences hot, dry and increasingly longer summers. It is a documented fact that street trees provide cooling for the neighbourhood and

homes as well as shade for parked cars. They provide shelter for birds, insects and small animals. It is surely only a small request that Horsham council provide our local environments and streetscapes with inviting, environmentally enriching locations, rather than asphalt and bare nature strips. The slash-and-burn approach that continues as the council mantra must end. Mike Coffey Horsham

Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson has joined a statewide call for people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Cr Emerson urged everyone in his shire to stay home and strongly follow directives while the circuit-breaker lockdown was in place. “The most important message to the community right now is to get vaccinated,” he said. “The vaccine is the most effective defence against coronavirus; if you are eligible for it in Northern Grampians Shire, I strongly encourage you to organise this through your GP, Stawell Regional Health or East Wimmera Health Service. All other information you need for local coronavirus information is also on our website.” Cr Emerson also urged people to be fastidious with hygiene measures such as wearing a mask, washing hands regularly and staying 1.5 metres apart from each other. “We can do this. We’ve been through several lockdowns already and know how effective they are at stopping the spread of coronavirus,” he said.

Strong demand for Pfizer vaccine T

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

he arrival of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in the Wimmera has been met with hot demand, with the first block of appointments in Horsham booked out within a few hours.

Wimmera Health Care Group started its community vaccination program yesterday, after dedicating the first few weeks of its vaccination roll-out to staff and aged-care residents. The health service opened appointments on Monday morning, with phone lines ringing hot. All time slots were filled within a few hours. Acting clinical improvement, risk and innovation director Roxanne Tucker said the health service would

inform the community when the next round of bookings would open. “There’s been an overwhelming response of people ringing in wanting to book an appointment,” she said. “We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding. “For those of you who were unable to secure a booking, keep your eyes open for updates in the local media and on our Facebook page as to when the next clinics will be available.” People aged between 40 and 49 are now eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine at state-run vaccination sites. The government recommends the AstraZeneca vaccine for people 50 and older. Wimmera Health Care Group clinical improvement, risk and innova-

tion director Sally Taylor said some younger people were also eligible to be vaccinated, including those with disabilities, mental illness, registered carers, emergency service workers and other workers in high-risk groups. “There is strict eligibility criteria and evidence of your eligibility may be needed before you can be vaccinated,” she said. She said staff would vaccinate people in temporary clinic settings for the time being, with the establishment of a fixed community vaccination clinic ‘still a few weeks away’. “In the meantime we will provide as many opportunities for community vaccinations as possible with our limited resources,” she said. East Grampians Health Service’s

community vaccination clinic has been up and running for about three weeks and is also distributing the Pfizer vaccine. Staff vaccinated 180 people on Saturday, delivering Pfizer vaccines for people aged 40 to 49 in the morning, and AstraZeneca vaccines for people aged 50 and older in the afternoon. The clinic, at Pyrenees House in Girdlestone Street, is open Monday to Friday and will also be open on Saturday due to the volume of bookings. Health service leaders said bookings were essential by calling 5352 9363 between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Friday, and encouraged people to be patient due to a high number of calls. Staff at Lister House-run Wimmera Vaccination Clinic at Up Tempo Café

on Dimboola Road have also been busy delivering AstraZeneca vaccinations. The clinic is now accepting walkins, although appointments can still be made online at hotdoc.com.au. The COVID-19 vaccination program involves two injections, and the second vaccine must be the same brand as the first. The Pfizer vaccine requires three weeks between doses and AstraZeneca, 12 weeks. Several GP clinics throughout the Wimmera-Mallee are also delivering COVID-19 vaccines, although not all have access to the Pfizer variant. People can visit westvicphn.com. au for a list of eligible clinics in the Wimmera and Grampians.

Women focus of final sculpture The arrival of a wooden sculpture in Rupanyup marks the completion of a chainsaw art trail project aimed at attracting visitors to the town. The sculpture ‘Rupanyup Woman’ is one of six installed along Cromie Street. Rupanyup Major Events, which initiated the project in early 2019, commissioned Gippsland chainsaw artist John Brady to complete the sculptures. Rupanyup’s Carmel Healy, the woman behind the project, said the newest addition to the trail represented the major contribution women had made to Rupanyup community. “It was made to represent what Rupanyup women have done over the years for the town,” she said. “Rupanyup is made up of strong women who are there for their family and community all the time.” Mrs Healy said the trail was already proving to be a bonus to the town’s ability to attract visitors to stay longer. “Anecdotally, we know visitors are coming

through for the Silo Art Trail and how often they stop at the different installations for photos or walk the length of the street to look at all the different pieces,” she said. “This is helping to bring people to town and raise awareness, not only for the silo art, but people might continue on to our other attractions such as the Woods museum.” The chainsaw art trail also features a goanna, two eagles, children and a retired farmer on a seat. Mrs Healy said the art trail project also boosted Rupanyup’s profile as an artistic community in a town that had its roots in agriculture. “The focus has always been on agriculture and art would not normally be a great feature of the rural town,” she said. “It has been lovely to have it included in the street, which lends itself to art, because of the shape of the street which is already like a big gallery.” – Dylan De Jong

Leader: Call out discrimination BY DYLAN DE JONG

First Nations leader believes Reconciliation Week serves as a powerful reminder of the Wimmera community’s responsibility to stamp out racism when it occurs.

Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative chair Johnny Gorton said individuals, organisations, community groups and sporting clubs all shared equal accountability to call out racism. His comments came during annual National Reconciliation Week, from May 27 to June 3. Many celebrations across Victoria were cancelled or went virtual due to the state entering a seven-day stagefour circuit-breaker COVID-19 lockdown. Mr Gorton said the underpinning theme of the week, ‘More Than a Word – Reconciliation Takes Action’, highlighted a need for communities to unite against discrimination. “When we look at racism, call it out when you see it or hear it – if it’s at a sporting game, in your workplace or randomly in the street,” he said. “You’ve also got issues like systemic racism, such as if an Aboriginal person is going for a job. All they want is to be treated equal and on merit. “If people have biased views when they go into an interview process, that applicant might not be given a real chance because of the colour of their skin. “In that sense, if you’re working in an organisation that has systemic issues, call them out.” Mr Gorton said the most common form of racism encountered in the community

was via social media. “Social media is more of a problem than anything because people have taken free speech in a literal sense and unfortunately hate speech is still considered free speech,” he said. “Racism to your face is not as prevalent. I remember when I was younger, people would say it openly. Now people do it as a keyboard warrior.” Reconciliation Week celebrates two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey – the 1967 referendum and the historic Mabo decision. Mr Gorton said it represented a chance for the wider community to celebrate Aboriginal people and culture and show that they were committed to helping make change in the community. He said there needed to be greater acknowledgement of Aboriginal culture and history in the region. “The Wimmera has 90 percent of Victoria’s rock art and it’s not celebrated,” he said. “The Wotjobaluk people also hardly speak the language. “With our last little bits of culture that’s left, particularly with scar trees and rock paintings, we need to preserve them, not just for us but the wider Australian community.” Horsham Rural City Council celebrated the first day of the national week with a ‘Sea of Hands’ event, inviting the community to take part in an outdoor art display. It encouraged people to collect large cut-out hands in the colours of the Aboriginal flag – black, yellow and red – and plant them in the ground. Mr Gorton said the council and other Wimmera organisa-

SHOW OF SUPPORT: Horsham Primary School students Nikita Kennedy-Gollan, left, and Sophia Kennedy join a symbolic Sea of Hands event at May Park, a feature of Horsham Rural City Council’s National Reconciliation Week activities. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER tions creating activities as part of the week was a positive step in the Wimmera’s reconciliation journey. “The council has come a long way in the few years they’ve been working with the Aboriginal Advisory Committee,” he said. “If you rewind three or four years ago, they weren’t even thinking of this stuff – now they’re trying to bring the Horsham rural area on a journey of reconciliation.” Women’s Health Grampians, Wimmera Primary Care Partnership, Federation University, Western Victoria Primary Health Network, Skillinvest and Yarriambiack Shire Council have supported activities throughout the week.

Eel festival an award finalist Organisers behind a community and arts festival at Lake Bolac are being recognised for taking positive actions in the reconciliation journey with First Nations people. Lake Bolac Eel Festival is a finalist in 2021 HART Awards – recognising Victorian partnerships and initiatives that contribute to reconciliation outcomes. The committee teamed up with a festival cultural advisory group to work on two major projects throughout the past year that contributed to reconciliation. Natimuk artist Dave Jones and master weaver

Aunty Bronwyn Razem created a yellow-tailed black cockatoo sculpture from scrap metal with help from students at Ararat and Lake Bolac colleges. The cockatoo will join a brolga and emu sculpture on the festival grounds when the event can go ahead again. Eel festival leaders also created a series of four short promotional videos for Victoria Together. The clips cover some of the history of the eel festival and an associated healing walk and include a Djab Wurrung Rivertime project.

Residents remain united in stand BY DYLAN DE JONG

ictoria’s environmental watchdog expects to decide on the future of a contentious wastewater farm at Quantong in July after reviewing community concerns.

Environment Protection Authority, EPA, will decide whether to approve a works approval application from Water Sustainability Farm Pty Ltd for a facility in Lanes Road to take and treat trade waste from an Australian Plant Proteins, APP, plant in Horsham. The authority is considering feedback from a community conference last week, online submissions and a question-and-answer session to inform its decision. EPA initiated the conference after a group of Quantong residents, who have fiercely opposed the project, voiced their concerns about what the site might represent for the community. Independent consultant Rob Carolane chaired the conference as part of the consultation process. More than 50 people including community members, Water Sustainability Farm director Peter Blair and Horsham Rural City councillors attended the meeting. Quantong residents are concerned the project might impact the environment, property values, lifestyle and the future of farm and tourism business opportunities. They also raised issues about pre-planning consultation. Fourth generation Quantong farmer and protestor Sally Ison, who attended the meeting, said the group would continue to push back against the project if EPA approved the planning application. “The consultant will report back to the EPA with all of our concerns, then the next stage is the planning permit through council,” she said. “If this gets approved through the EPA, we’ll

continuing fighting it, which will be through the planning department. “We’re very strong in our mindset that we don’t want it there. The people who live close by are very concerned and some are quite emotional about it. “We live out here because we love the way it is out here. Its peaceful with our beautiful river and community. I just can’t understand why this project would be allowed to be put through.” Water Sustainability Farm has proposed to manage two APP waste streams at the Quantong site – an average of 57,000 litres of brine and up to 5000 kilograms a day of dewatered sludge compost. The business proposes to concentrate the brine through solar evaporation in four drying basins and dry the compost sludge in windrows on a drying pad. The plan is to use the dried material as a value-added product for agricultural purposes and most likely dispose of ‘super-saline’ waste in landfill post-evaporation. Mrs Ison said she supported the project’s overall vision to support the Wimmera’s agricultural industry and create jobs. “I think it’s fantastic, especially as someone who works in agriculture,” she said. “But the project location, environment and increased traffic are major concerns. I believe it should be next to Dooen Landfill. “There’s three trucks a day coming out – we have kids who ride down that road to the bus stop. There’s also a potential impact on our native flora and fauna – especially it being salt and caustic soda – if that’s in the air, especially in an inversion event, small particles can travel kilometres. We have a lot of rainwater tanks. If that lands on your roof and it rains and goes into your tank, I don’t know how healthy that would be for showering and drinking.”

IN THEIR ELEMENT: Ss Michaels and John’s teacher Rhiannon Marr high fives student Elliot Abernethy after successful science experiments.

Students zoom in on science The world of science and astronomy was a major theme of a Ss Michael and John’s Primary School activity day during national Education Week last week. Foundation, year one and two students immersed themselves in a ‘Science ZOOOM Day’. The day was a prelude to a ‘ZOOOM – A Lost Star Finds its Way Home’ performance students attended at Horsham Town Hall on Thursday. The Patch Theatre performance was based on a story about a child who was alone and unable to sleep in her bedroom, where curiosity got the better of her and she began a transformational journey with light. Students listened to the book telling of Harold and the Purple Crayon, which the ZOOOM performance was inspired by, and rotated throughout six learning activities throughout the science day. Various scientific concepts were introduced to students such as shadow, reflection, stars and

space and lightness and darkness. Students enjoyed participating in immersive activities such as making planets, using mirrors for drawings and painting black shadows on oil-soaked paper. Student Ava Eldridge said the first step was putting oil on paper and patting it down and drawing black paint onto it to make shadows. Foundation teacher Tina Haase said the aim of the day was for students to deepen their understanding of science through a range of fun activities. “We also hope that through participation in the activities students discovered that darkness can be a magical place rather than a scary place,” she said. Principal Andrea Cox said students enjoyed attending the ZOOOM theatre presentation. “It is wonderful for our students to attend these events after missing out on so much last year,” she said.

What can Chiropractic do for a sprained ankle? Sprained ankles are a common sports injury and I think I practically majored in them! So here’s a few tips to help from the resident chiropractor! 1) Rest.Ice.Compression. Elevation. Wait 48hrs and reassess. 2) If there is any bruising there is most probably a ligament tear or worse a chipped bone. That may require X-ray. 3) See a chiropractor. “So how can a chiropractor help?” The chiropractor can assess the joint and let a person know how badly damaged it is. A chiropractor will also assess the rest of the spine. We can offer rehabilitation exercises and assist in recovery. Why does Chiropractic help? In 20+yrs experience, an ankle sprain doesn’t just affect the ankle. As the song goes“The ankle bone’s connected to the knee bone, the knee bone’s connected to the hip bone “ etc. Rebalancing the whole body gives a much better result. It gets the brain to talk better to the body. Where here to help, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. You can also book online at bowerschiropractic.com.au.

TRAIN NOW FOR A CAREER YOU CAN COUNT ON. Highway speed MID-YEAR change criticised COURSES NOW E AVAILABLE. NOT GOOD ENOUGH: Member for Lowan Emma Kealy protests ‘lack of investment’

in country roads at 80-kilometre speed signs beside the Wimmera Highway at Vectis. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

rection of permanent 80-kilometre speed signs on a stretch of Wimmera Highway west of Horsham has drawn a strong rebuke from Member for Lowan Emma Kealy.

Ms Kealy said formalising a speed restriction on the highway because of the poor condition of a road surface was like ‘applying a band-aid to a broken leg’. “What is really hard to take is that we’re talking about a straight stretch of an important highway – not some winding back road over mountains that people rarely use,” she said. “This is simply a case of ignoring the investment needed to resolve a long-term asset-deterioration issue on a section of highway near Vectis and then giving up on finding a realistic and appropriate alternative solution.” Ms Kealy said the approach to dealing with the section of road reflected a 23 percent cut in a Victorian regional roads budget. “This is a glaring example of where this is heading, if we’re not already there,” she said. “Surely it’s of critical importance that large connective highways provide an opportunity for the efficient and timely movement of traffic – without needing to compensate for unnecessary speed restrictions based on unnecessary road hazards. “The State Government really needs to explain what’s going on. Are we aiming for our

“Sure, it’s another well-worn cliché, but in ensuring our cars are roadworthy, we must also ensure our roads are car worthy”

– Emma Kealy

highways to be 80-kilometre routes? If so, that’s unacceptable. And no one is getting sucked in by the thinly veiled attempt to hide a basic lack of investment behind a call for safety through speed reduction. “Sure, it’s another well-worn cliché, but in ensuring our cars are roadworthy, we must also ensure our roads are car worthy. “And again, we’re not talking about people travelling on some bush track. “It’s a major highway connecting us with South Australia, a road that in its own right is an important transport route that becomes the alternative route for thousands of more trucks travelling between Melbourne and Adelaide when the Western Highway is blocked for some reason. “It can’t be left in a state of permanent disrepair. “Traffic travels through much of South Australia with a 110-kilometre speed limit and is then confronted by an 80km limit when arriving in Victoria. “We all know that excessive speed is dangerous, but we also don’t want to be known as the slow-down state for the wrong reasons.”

Framework for road maintenance A municipal leader in Ararat is confident last month’s State Budget announcement contained a ‘hidden gem’ that can provide some relief from the costs of managing a large rural road network. Ararat Rural City Council has been selected as one of 11 rural councils to benefit from the budget’s $1.4-million Rural Roads Support Package. Chief executive Tim Harrison said the rural city managed more than 2300 kilometres of rural roads that underpinned the productivity and safety of the community. “Our record investment to fund essential upgrades and maintenance of local roads makes up more than 40 percent of our entire council budget, with this investment only beginning to scratch the surface on what is required,” he said. “When you consider that across Victoria the average investment by councils on roads is just 10 percent of total expenditure, in contrast, the cost burden placed on rural ratepayers is immense. Wednesday, June 2, 2021

“The rural roads package in the budget is not a capital funding program, but an acknowledgement by the Victorian government that without a co-ordinated approach to asset planning and expenditure, we will never level the playing field.” The council is also expected to receive $250,000 from a roadside weeds and pests program. Dr Harrison said the allocation enabled the council to control roadside weeds and pests before they spread to neighbouring land and impacted agricultural production and the environment. “Council’s allocation from the program is calculated based on the length of municipal roads that we manage, which ensures funding is provided to the councils that need it most,” he said. “Confirmation of this funding for another four years provides security for a position in our waste and sustainability team and means we can plan further ahead to stay on top of the problem.”

Grateful for ‘magical’ wedding day T

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

he COVID-19 pandemic has caused plenty of stress for couples looking to tie the knot, as they try to navigate the uncertainty of constantly evolving restrictions.

When Horsham’s Ashleigh Davidson and Jon Fitzgerald became engaged on Christmas Eve in 2019, they had no idea the world was about to be thrown into chaos. The couple initially planned to marry on November 7, 2020, but decided in July to postpone to May 2021. Ashleigh said as the date drew closer, she and Jon were nervous at the thought of postponing again. Luckily, after 14 years together, the pair did not have to wait any longer to say ‘I do’. Ashleigh and Jon married at Jack Rabbit Vineyard, on the Bellarine Peninsula, on Saturday, May 22. “Our day was the most perfect day in every aspect,” Ashleigh said. “We were both fairly relaxed all day – as much as we could be anyway, pre-wedding – everything ran smoothly and the weather was a stunning 20 degrees with clear skies, a light breeze and a gorgeous sunset over the bay. “We couldn’t have been luckier at this time of year.” Five days after their wedding, Acting Premier James Merlino announced a snap, seven-day statewide lockdown. “We are beside ourselves knowing just how close we were before the snap lockdown; we actually think we were in a bit of shock for a moment there,” Ashleigh said. “If we weren’t grateful enough for the amazing magical day we had, this

could and have a big celebration later on when it was possible,” she said. “We just didn’t want to have to do it all over again for the third time. Thankfully though it all worked out.” Ashleigh and Jon met in their final year of high school, at Horsham and St Brigid’s colleges respectively. They started talking over MSN Messenger, ‘decided to start seeing each other and have been together ever since’.

Horsham. Ashleigh said seeing their family and friends have a great time was a highlight of the day. “Jon thought the chopper ride into the ceremony was pretty cool for him and the groomsmen, too,” she said. Jon’s groomsmen included Alec Fitzgerald, Kosta Zorbas, Matthew Grace and James Davidson, while Ashleigh was attended to by Marisa Cowell, Angeli Ladlow, Rachel Laws and Jena Morizzi. Ashleigh chose a gown by KYHA Studios, paired with tulle wings by Made With Love.

She said the couple chose their second wedding date based on availability of their original suppliers. “We chose them all because we wanted them for our day, so that was important to us,” she said. Ashleigh’s advice to couples planning their wedding day includes trust in who you have chosen to hire and remind yourself that certain things – such as weather or guests pulling out at the last minute – are beyond your control. “At the end of the day, no matter what happens, you will still be married to the love of your life – and that’s the whole point of your day,” she said. “Also, make sure to step back as a couple at least once during the day and soak in everything that’s going on around you; seeing everybody chatting and laughing in a beautiful setting really makes you feel the love all around. “We were told the whole event is over in a blink of an eye, and that’s very true.” The new Mr and Mrs Fitzgerald spent a few nights at Lon Retreat in Point Lonsdale and Crown Towers in Melbourne before returning home for the snap lockdown. They are planning a getaway to Hamilton Island in June, COVID restrictions permitting. • The Weekly Advertiser loves celebrating community news, including weddings, new arrivals and graduations.

Gas-gun project tackles starlings FIND OUT N MORE AT OUR HAMILTON INFO SESSIONS. hill residents and business owners are likely to hear the booming sound of gas guns from this week as part of municipal efforts to move pest starlings from the heart of the town.

Hindmarsh Shire Council is strategically placing the noise guns in Goldsworthy Park Reserve and surrounding areas to prevent a large number of the birds roosting in the area. The program aims to protect public amenities such as barbecue and seating and children’s playground areas from excessive bird excrement. Hindmarsh council chief executive Greg Wood said Nhill residents could expect to hear three to four loud bursts fire from the guns from tomorrow. “The starlings have been making a mess in Goldsworthy Park and it’s important we do something about it now before our assets are ruined,” he said. Shots fired from the gas guns will usually occur in the morning between 7am and 8am and at night between 6pm and 7pm. The council has recommended that residents or householders securely confine any animals that might be affected by the noise level of these gas guns.

Mr Wood said the activity was an integral part of the council’s program to remove starlings from the area and the council apologised for any short-term inconvenience. Starlings are native to Eurasia and north Africa and have become introduced pests in other parts of the world including Australia, New Zealand and North America. Acclimatisation societies and others introduced the bird to Australia in the late 1850s through to 1870 in efforts to control insect pests as well as build up populations of birdlife familiar to European colonists. The birds, which can gather in large flocks, are a serious threat to agricultural industries, carry many parasites and diseases and contaminate areas where the regularly roost. They can also aggressively displace native birds from roosting areas. Blackbirds and sparrows are other introduced birds that also cause major problems in urbanised areas in the Wimmera, while Indian miners and domestic pigeons are a serious issue in other parts of the state. People seeking more information about the Hindmarsh Shire starling project can call local laws officer Steve Nicholson on 5391 4444 or email info@hindmarsh.vic.gov.au.

Sophie and Steph, who are best friends as well as cousins, had their daughters a week apart. “We were due on the same day, but Steph had her baby three days early and I had mine four days late,” Sophie said. “They are a week apart, which is still really special – and it’s pretty rare. “We’re a big, close family, which is why five of us having our babies around the same time is so special to us all. “We’re excited all our kids will get to grow up together, the same way we did.”

Ararat road-safety upgrades in progress Ararat Rural City Council workers sealed an intersection off Kennel Road and the Western Highway last week. Chief executive Tim Harrison said the intersection was among many road-safety upgrades the council was working on across the municipality as part of a residential capital works program. “The Kennel Road intersection upgrade is another example of our ongoing commitment to

improving important local roads for residents,” he said. “Though a bell mouth at the entrance gives motorists better visibility, the existing gravel pavement fails to address the traffic load it carries off the Western Highway onto Kennel Road. “Sealing this junction prevents gravel from being carried out onto the highway and stops potholes from forming on the edge of the highway seal.”

Sisters Zoe Hanson and Sophie Murray and cousin Alexandra Hanson are all first-time mothers, with Zoe welcoming Thea in September, Alexandra delivering Ralston a week later and Sophie birthing Harlow in February. Steph Lovel welcomed her second child, Marnie, in January, while her sister, Tayla Hateley, birthed her fourth child, Bobby, in February. Sophie said everyone was going well. “We actually have our own little mothers group and meet up once a week – we’re lucky because we are so close and can talk about anything and everything,” she said. Sophie said she was enjoying motherhood. “It’s pretty good, although it has its days,” she said. “It’s starting to get a bit more fun now because Harlow’s becoming more interactive.”

To dream big, our kids need the best start in life. It’s why the Victorian Government is rolling out Three-Year-Old Kinder across the state in 2022. This means new kindergartens, upgraded facilities and new teaching jobs.

Melbourne artist Kitt Bennett’s brightly coloured work explores the theme of ‘growing up in the country’. The work also provides a link between a trail of silos throughout Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh and West Wimmera shires. The Albacutya site is the first silo artwork in Hindmarsh Shire. The State Government’s Wimmera Southern Mallee Destination Management Plan has provided money for the project, leveraged through the Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership and support of Wimmera Mallee Tourism.

Hindmarsh Shire Council provided money for viewing-site works. Bennett said he had fond memories of exploring the bush and looking for yabbies under rocks in creeks with his parents. “Reflecting on this weird and wonderful time as an adult is something that brings me a lot of happiness,” he said. “I wanted to keep the artwork somewhat surreal and distorted from reality – much like the nature of stories from the past. They often become exaggerated. “I wanted to make this painting very bright and full of colour in an attempt to reflect the rainbow theme and to separate it from its environment. “The silo itself is old, but the artwork aims to breathe a new life into the landscape.”

Investment spurs on gold projects Stawell-based Navarre Minerals Limited has announced it has binding commitments to raise $10-million to advance its key gold projects in Victoria. The company will use the money to accelerate diamond drilling targeting potential resource growth in Stawell Corridor and a potential maiden Mineral Resource site at St Arnaud. The company will also explore a Morning Bill prospect at Glenlyle. Managing director Ian Holland said strong investor response reflected significant progress the company had made during the past 12 months on its Victorian gold projects, including the maiden

Mineral Resource. “We are delighted with the strong support for our capital raise, which is a vote of confidence in the quality of our people, our assets and our strategy,” he said. “Navarre is now well-funded to execute on our drilling plans and create value for our shareholders. “The remainder of 2021 will be exciting for Navarre shareholders as we focus our efforts on growing the company’s resource inventory and fast-tracking our path to gold production. “We look forward to updating shareholders on our progress in the coming months.”

The shire council has asked visitors to use a designated viewing area and access to the silo site is prohibited. The council is continuing work at the viewing area, which will include information about the artwork and the Silo Art Trail. An augmented-reality experience is in the final stages of development, which will ‘add to the fun and quirkiness of the artwork’. Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said the council commended Bennett on his work. “The vivid colours and style add a distinctive modern take on the Silo Art Trail. It is great to see the fun of growing up in the Mallee represented in the art along with a nod to Lake Albacutya’s past as a great place to catch yabbies,” he said.

Grants of between $5000 and $200,000 are available to support managers of campgrounds and caravan parks, including Crown land managers, committees of management, Traditional Owners and councils.

INSIGHT: Victoria Police Constable Max Mudge speaks to Stawell Skene Street School student Alex about a career in the police force.

Career pathways explored An interactive school-employer engagement program is providing Stawell students an insight into employment opportunities. Skene Street School students participated in employment engagement sessions with Victoria Police, PETstock Stawell, Stawell Sports and Aquatic Centre and McDonald’s restaurants. Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network partnerships and pathways co-ordinator Nerissa Gee said the sessions aimed to expose students to a range of industries. “The sessions increase the students’ knowledge of career opportunities in each industry and provide them with details on the skills and qualifications they need to work in that field,” she said. “We have been really impressed with how the students at Skene Street School have been engaging in the sessions and asking questions of

the presenters. It has been great to see them so interested in learning about career paths.” Ms Gee said employers also benefitted from the program, with a chance to promote their industry and make students aware of placement opportunities. “It’s all about equipping young people with the information they need to pursue a career and giving employers a chance to highlight what they look for in an employee,” she said. School principal Sandi Slocombe said the program was a fun and interactive way to introduce career education to students and staff. “Many of our students would never have considered some of these industries as potential career paths, so seeing them exposed to so many possibilities has been fantastic,” she said.

Wimmera farmers have an opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s leading soil scientists about ways to address soil fertility decline at four workshops this month. Adelaide’s Dr Mark Farrell is a principal research scientist with the CSIRO, who will discuss ways in which farmers can build organic carbon and nitrogen in their soil. The workshops will explain how soil organic matter is declining in Australian agricultural systems, including dryland grain farms. This has resulted in a significant fall in soil-nutrient stocks, particularly nitrogen. Agriculture Victoria studies have shown nitrogen is the single biggest factor in limiting yield potential in crops in western Victoria. “Rebuilding soil carbon and nitrogen stocks is slow,” Dr Farrell said. “It depends on increased crop production to

Members have confirmed an increasing age of committee members, a lack of key administrators and dwindling numbers of volunteers had forced them to abandon plans for this year’s October show. But they said they believed if they could get enough new people involved in the committee and show preparations they could push strongly ahead for what would be a ‘showcase’ 60th event next year. Society junior vice-president Lois Trimble said the committee had been forced to call off last year’s show and starting from scratch to run this year’s event was all but impossible considering resources. “We lack volunteer manpower and we’ve already run out of time for this year. It’s just not feasible. So, what we’re aiming for now is to push for a return in 2022,” she said. “It would be great if we could seriously engage some of the younger people in Stawell district community who could not only come on board but take the lead of this event into the future. “Our community maintains a strong connection to agriculture and Stawell remains a stronghold for Wimmera farming. “We’d like to think that for our 60th show we could draw in our emerging farming community as well as some more experienced people, to not only keep this annual community icon going, but to take it to another level. “The committee had run quite smoothly for

years, but an ageing group, coupled with the onset of the pandemic, had a severe impact on operations. “We’re probably guilty of failing to think enough about succession planning because people turned up every year. “But the pandemic and the absence of a show last year exposed just how vulnerable we are.” Committee member Lyn Keller said Stawell Show was an important cultural and social event. “There is no way we want this to disappear,” she said. “It’s been one of the best shows in the Wimmera and to have two years without it is devastating – not only for us enthusiasts but also the Stawell district community. “It is the community that misses out when it doesn’t happen. The kids won’t be able to go to the show again this year. We know the community wants it, but we need people to make it work. “Apart from someone with skills to help with planning and administration work, what’s involved isn’t really that time-consuming except when getting everything ready at showtime. “In most cases we simply need physical help with working bees, moving and so on – the jobs that require some degree of physical strength or agility. Really a position on the committee doesn’t take up too much time through the year.” Most people on the show committee are longtime members, the oldest being George Holden, who was on a foundation show committee in the 1960s. Stawell Show has traditionally been on the fourth Saturday in October. People keen to get involved can call Mrs Trimble on 0408 566 221.

Leader confirms civic support A

rarat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison has joined a chorus of community leaders in expressing disappointment in circumstances surrounding the latest COVID-19 lockdown.

He has also urged Ararat district business operators to reach out to the council’s economic development team at business@ararat.vic.gov.au or on 5355 0264 if they needed council help or advice. Dr Harrison said the lockdown came ‘just when it seemed like we were returning to our normal way of life’. “Here we are again, making sacrifices while health authorities try to get the latest virus outbreak under control,” he said. “For local businesses this is particularly tough. Every hour of productivity lost is one that you can never make up. Government assistance is appreciated, but it always misses the mark somewhere.” Dr Harrison said he was proud of how the Ararat business community had shown resilience and a willingness to follow health advice to protect the community. “We resolved that we would be ‘stronger together’ and we have done exactly that,” he said. “It has been no easy task to transform operating procedures and take on the burden of COVIDSafe requirements. However, we recognise the biggest impact on employment and economic prosperity is poor health of the community. “The thing that makes Ararat stand out compared with many other regions is that we have turned a challenge into an opportunity. “Others forecast an economy in freefall, but we have worked together to drive a jobs-led recovery.

“Businesses have invested in new plant and equipment and the council has reached out to attract new innovations. “This includes the partnership with Federation University to help drive value-adding opportunities in agriculture and manufacturing and the agreement with Pacific Heat and Power to develop a bioenergy plant that creates an economy for the sale of farm waste. “The council has got underway a record investment in capital works for road upgrades and infrastructure. This has secured supply contracts for local businesses and kept workers in jobs.” Dr Harrison said the council’s economic development team had worked with key industry and retail figures to help navigate new regulation requirements and ensure the community could ‘power through to the other side’. “The result of this collective effort is already coming through. Our unemployment rate in Ararat has fallen to just 3.2 percent, which is virtually full-employment and two percent lower than pre-pandemic levels,” he said. Dr Harrison said findings from a council occupancy survey supported this further, revealing an uplift in business confidence, with retail occupancy rates in Ararat in May at 96.7 percent. “One of our biggest challenges now is to solve the housing challenge in Ararat, so we can grow the critical mass of our population and expand businesses and the economy,” he said. “The council has put skin in the game to attract investment from developers to construct transitional worker housing. Our priority is to get the government to catch up with further support to build even more houses. “We have been here before, but every time we go back into lockdown, we hope it is the last.”

QUALITY TIME: Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network MATES mentor Param Kathiramalay and student Lhanz complete a puzzle during one of their catch-ups.

Shared learning experience A Northern Grampians Shire mentoring program is making progress with more volunteers and students taking up the opportunity. Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network’s MATES program is in full swing across the municipality after launching in March this year. Stawell Secondary College, Stawell West Primary School and Concongella Primary School are participating in the program after receiving a grant from Northern Grampians Shire Council. Network executive officer

Jane Moriarty said an enthusiastic group of volunteer mentors had been meeting with their students each fortnight to share hobbies and interests. “We have had such a great response to this program. Our mentors and students are already establishing some really strong bonds,” she said. “Some of them have been doing hands-on activities like cooking and simple woodwork projects, while others are enjoying board games and puzzles from the MATES’ activity box. “It’s been so good to see the joy and pride the young

people are getting from trying new things. It’s all about improving their self-confidence and providing them with someone they can talk to and learn from outside of home and school.” Wimmera Southern Mallee LLEN developed the MATES model to match nominated students with a positive role model from the community. Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network has MATES mentor positions available. For more information, people can call Penny on 0418 535 478.

Grampians mammals provide insight R

BY DEAN LAWSON

esearchers working in Grampians National Park are gaining insight into how fire, rain and a changing climate dictates the survival of small native mammals that call the wilderness area home.

They are finding that rain and wet seasons, similar to agricultural activities surrounding much of the park, heavily influence success and failure. Associate Professor of Wildlife and Conservation Biology John White has been leading the Deakin University project since 2008 in an effort to gain an understanding of how native mammals in the greater Gariwerd landscape respond to large-scale bushfires and to a broader extent, climate change. He said the long-term project, in collaboration with Parks Victoria, had stalled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but had since resumed with teams venturing deep into parkland. “It was nice to get back to the Grampians,” he said. “We have 36 trapping sites we’ve established for a long time across the landscape. We visit each site four days a year, where we record small-mammal numbers. The field work usually takes about three months. “The thing we’ve found is just how much of a major influence rain has on mammal populations. “We know fires set things back and we’re trying to understand recovery at the other end and know now that rain makes a big difference.” The Grampians is home to native mammals such as species of antechinuses and rare rodents, bandicoots

“The reason we’ve continued the research is that we’re trying to understand from a long-term perspective how climate change and its variabilities will change environmental circumstances such as the population of native mammals”

and potoroos as well as tree-dwelling animals and larger herbivores such as kangaroos and wallabies. Professor White said the types of animals the research looked at heavily responded to plant and insect life that blossomed in response to rain. “Back in 2012 we recorded an enormous number of animals that had responded to floods,” he said. “A massive influx of water led to greater chances of animal survival, with lots of breeding as well as vegetation and insects. But it then fell back into a below-average system and it changed again.” Professor White added a picture was starting to emerge that the Grampians, similar to other parts of the region, was a boom-and-bust landscape. “The thought was that it might be more static,” he said. “The reason we’ve continued the research is that we’re trying to understand from a long-term perspective how climate change and its variabilities will change environmental circumstances such as the population of native mammals. “The Grampians is a handy landscape in looking at this. Rain figures

LITTLE CRITTERS: Associate Professor John White is pictured with a antechinus, a marsupial carnivore and dasyurid relative of animals such as dunnarts, quolls and even Tasmanian devils, and one of the small native mammals subject to a long-term study to understand the impact of climate change and fire in Grampians National Park. have been up and down but mostly down in past the 15 years, which is what we expect under a changing climate. “The research started as a one-year study after the 2006 wildfires. “We tacked on a few extra years to understand wildlife recovery, and we’ve had fires since then so we’re getting a growing picture.

“We don’t have many long-term ecological study sites in Australia and each year the research unlocks a bit more of the puzzle, while at the same time poses more questions. “It tells me that short-term work doesn’t capture a complete picture of what is going on. “I can see us still doing this for another 10 years.”

Professor White said he believed the Grampians and broader Gariwerd provided a lens into what climate change might look like in the future. “Gariwerd has been isolated from other parts of Victoria,” he said. “It has a lot of species that are unique to the area or genetically distinctive across south-east Australia because of isolation. “Species are acutely in tune with their environment and in some cases can quickly become extinct.” Professor White said the research involved teams spending time in deep bush and studying animals, many of them nocturnal, that most people rarely saw. He said the research was about finding out if, where and how these species were surviving or responding to changing environments. “It is always interesting to find out where populations of animals, which could include southern brown bandicoots or long-nosed potoroos, might be holding on. “It involves putting in camera traps and lugging equipment into the thickest bush you could imagine.” Professor White added that many native animals were facing a tough and uncertain time with climate change. “We have introduced predators such as foxes and cats driving populations down, which leads to diminished resilience,’ he said. “Throw climate change over the top of that, the potential for much bigger and more frequent fires, and then take away the rain and it’s the perfect storm.”

‘Frustrating’ for the regions F

ederal Member for Mallee Anne Webster remains critical of a State Government decision to lock down all of Victoria. Dr Webster said in a statement that the decision to lock down regional as well as metropolitan and suburban Melbourne was unnecessary. Here is her statement –

The frustration and pain of statewide lockdowns is being felt once more in regional Victoria. The recent outbreak of the virus in Melbourne led the State Government to implement a full statewide lockdown. Businesses are shut, bars and restaurants are wasting stock, and kids are missing school, with many unable to learn from home. Some people are unable to work, and those struggling financially will be unable to pay rent. Compared with previous statewide lockdowns, it is easier to understand why the State Government made this decision. There have been thousands of close contacts and hundreds of confirmed exposure sites across the state. However, to my mind, the decision to lock down all of regional Victoria still does not stack up. From the perspective of the Commonwealth government, a trigger for consideration of a hotspot in a rural or regional area is a rolling three-day average of three locally acquired cases per day.

“This situation speaks to the absolute necessity of being tested if you display cold and flu symptoms and getting the vaccine as soon as it is available to you”

– Anne Webster

This threshold has not been reached. In fact, we have not had a single case of community spread in regional Victoria. Deakin University chair in epidemiology Catherine Bennett said evaluation of the growing data sets from previous state lockdowns is proving they are an unnecessary safety net, only required in extreme circumstances. In relation to the current lockdown, she said there was no evidence showing why the restrictions should apply to regional Victorians. We do need to bring in lockdowns, but only for the people who have a real risk of exposure to the virus and that’s why our testing and tracing regimes are so important. We need to trust systems we have in place to handle these outbreaks, instead of resorting to snap lockdowns. This situation speaks to the absolute necessity of being tested if you display cold and flu symptoms and getting the vaccine as soon as it is available to you. No one can escape this virus, and we cannot afford to become complacent.

Livestock workshop at Edenhope Edenhope will host one of eight Agriculture Victoria workshops across the state to help sheep, goat and cattle producers in the use of a National Livestock Identification System, NLIS. The workshops started in Rochester in late May and Edenhope’s is scheduled for June 23 at Edenhope Community Centre from 10am to 3pm. Agriculture Victoria’s Kirstie Anderson said the workshops would take producers through key aspects of using the system.

“The workshops are designed to step producers through practical aspects of using the NLIS and show them how to manage their NLIS requirements including keeping Property Identification Code, PIC, details up to date and how to complete a property-to-property, P2P, transfer on the system. “Agriculture Victoria staff will be on hand to answer any questions about sheep, goat or cattle electronic-identification requirements and their management on the database.”

The NLIS is a lifetime traceability system for livestock and is designed to help protect the reputation of Victoria’s livestock industry as a supplier of ‘clean’ meat and dairy products for domestic and export markets. Participant numbers in workshops are limited and organisers have asked people to register online at agriculture victoriaevents.eventbrite.com. People can also gain more information from Kirstie Anderson at Agriculture Victoria on 0437 990 967.

Sausages, dackels and dachshunds

“The community has embraced this unique event and we are looking forward to welcoming the dachshunds and their people to the small, rural town that loves to celebrate such a happy event”

denhope is scheduled to become a stronghold for a unique breed of dog this month when the West Wimmera town celebrates World Dachshunds Day.

Edenhope is hosting its inaugural ‘Day of the Dackel’ during June 19 and 20 to celebrate the occasion, which places these ‘low-riding, shortlegged’ stars of the dog world into the international spotlight. Edenhope is the home of Now Dach’s a Gallery, the only dachshund museum in Australia and organisers expect enthusiasts and owners of the breed from across Victoria and interstate to gather for a variety of activities. Dachshund Museum owner, graphic designer and artist Diana Lee Saville is hosting the event. Her pet dachshund ‘Neddy Von Noodle’, a love for all things dachshund and supporting Edenhope are primary inspirations for the event. “My little sausage dog Neddy sits in the window of the museum, but the main reason we’re doing this is to promote Edenhope and encourage people to our town,” she said. “It’s going to be an awesome event. Visitors will be busy during the weekend and can be sure of a very friendly welcome by locals and local shops in Edenhope. “The community has embraced this unique event and we are looking forward to welcoming the dachshunds and their people to the small, rural town that loves to celebrate such a happy event. “Locals and visitors will line the main street on Sunday afternoon for the ‘March of the Dackels’.

MEET AND GREET: Dachshund lover Sarah Hallam of Quantong, with three of her dachshunds, travelled to Edenhope’s Dachshund Museum in 2019 for a meet a greet day. “We’re opening the door to all types of dachshunds and their owners and people who simply love this breed,” Ms Saville said. “Dachsies have a cult following and whether they be ‘standards’, ‘minia-

tures’, long hairs, short hairs, wired hairs – they’re all welcome.” Dachshund translates to ‘badger hound’ and dackel is the German name for the breed. Weekend activities planned include dress-up compe-

titions, stalls selling a range of unique gifts and doggy treats, food vans, a barbecue at the event’s headquarters at Henley Park at Lake Wallace, a ‘Dackel Dinner’ at Lake Wallace Hotel on the Saturday night and an art

exhibition at Red Tail Gallery with emphasis on dachshunds. Registered dachshund breeders will also be at the event to provide insight into the breed. Organisers believe The Dachshund Art Show will be the first of its kind in the world, with the show featuring a variety of entries including paintings, mosaics, photographs and other works. Cash prizes are available with Edenhope district traders and individuals sponsoring the showcase. Ms Saville, originally from Dandenong, has called Edenhope home for nine years and opened her museum in January 2019. She had to close during the COVID-19 pandemics. “As a cartoonist I’ve been absorbed by the character of my Neddy and the breed in general,” she said. “It’s been great working with the Edenhope community and Edenhope Tourism. “I’m just very excited and can’t wait.” • Circumstances surrounding the state’s COVID-19 lockdown this week will determine the outcome of this and other events across the region.

COMPETITION READY: Beulah Primary School students, from left, Lachlan Brain, Leah Hallam and Harry Allan travelled to Horsham for the RoboCup Junior competition.

Students challenge for RoboCup title BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera students showcased their analytical and teamwork capabilities along with their ability to build and code robots at a RoboCup Junior competition in Horsham.

Organiser and Holy Trinity Lutheran College technology teacher Adam Engert said the regional competition was a great success, emphasising STEM – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – opportunities for Wimmera-Mallee students. He said the RoboCup Junior Horsham regional event, at the college, was the first live Victorian event for 2021. “RoboCup Junior is a not-for-profit organisation and the aim of these regionals is to provide access to project-based learning in robots with the assistance of experienced volunteers such as co-founder Brian Thomas,” he said. “Brian ran the soccer event and provided expert tutelage.” Mr Engert said the regional competition was a supportive way for students to start learning robotics, while helping them to prepare for future and more complex RoboCup Junior events.

The regional competition comprised two divisions, Rescue, similar to an obstacle course and line-following challenge, and Soccer, involving teams of two robots using infrared sensors to detect a purpose-built ball. Mr Engert said both divisions were open to all primary and secondary students.

“In the Rescue challenge, two teams finished the initial rounds on equal points and entered the head-to-head final with only seconds separating them,” he said. Team ‘Quichebot’, designed by Holy Trinity year-six student Keisha, won the Rescue division. A family team, not associated with

Operation to curb offences

“Anyone illegally taking firewood is taking a home away from one of our threatened native wildlife species”

fforts to protect wildlife habitat from illegal wood removal is at the core of a multiagency operation in Victorian parks, forest and reserves.

Operation Hollows, involving Conservation Regulator authorised officers, Forest Fire Management Victoria crews and Parks Victoria rangers, is targeting people attempting to illegally cut or remove trees for firewood. The operation is also encouraging people visiting Victorian parks, forest and reserves to source firewood responsibly. Parks Victoria enforcement and regulatory services senior manager Ron Waters said it was important people collect firewood from designated areas during the two collection seasons. He said trees and fallen wood outside these areas were crucial habitats for native wildlife such as the powerful owl, greater glider, fat-tailed dunnart, spotted-tailed quoll and small geckos, skinks and lizards. He added that some trees also had cultural significance. Mr Waters said the ongoing operation also targeted people selling large quantities of illegal firewood. “Those purchasing firewood can help preserve habitat and heritage by ensuring they buy from reputable sources,” he said. “It’s important to remember that

Page

– Ron Waters

cutting trees for firewood is habitat destruction. “Anyone illegally taking firewood is taking a home away from one of our threatened native wildlife species. “Do the right thing: source your firewood legally and help our native species survive.” The maximum penalty for people caught illegally destroying habitat trees is $8261, plus potential seizure of equipment, including vehicles and chainsaws and-or one year in prison. From March to November 2020, authorities fined 183 people a total of $98,801 for illegally removing wood from widespread areas across the state. These fines ranged from $165 to $661. Rangers and officers are patrolling public land across the state, enforcing the law and educating people about firewood collection rules. People can find out more about where, when and what firewood can be collected, on websites www.ffm. vic.gov/firewood and www.vic.gov. au/collecting-firewood.

Connecting people, places IVF investment BY SARAH MATTHEWS

entre for Participation has resumed a community bus service designed to help rural residents overcome transport limitations.

The centre has resumed a route between Kaniva and Horsham, stopping at towns in between, weekly on Wednesdays. Acting chief executive Robbie Millar said although the service was again temporarily on hold during the statewide snap COVID-19 lockdown, he was pleased to see the community bus back in action last month. The Wimmera Southern Mallee Community Transport Service leaves Kaniva about 9am, arriving in Horsham about 10.30am. It picks up at Kaniva at 8.45am, Nhill at 9.30am, Dimboola, 10am, and Pimpinio, 10.15am. Drop-off points include the V-Line bus stop in Roberts Avenue, Wimmera Health Care Group, including Read Street Clinic, Tristar, Horsham Plaza and Lister House-Wimmera Eye Care. The return service departs Horsham from drop-off locations from 2.30pm. Mr Millar said Centre for Participation ran the service in partnership with West Wimmera Shire Council. “Sometimes they use their bus, sometimes we use ours,” he said. “We’ve got a combination of volunteers from Horsham and also from Kaniva, who do the run.”

ON THE ROAD AGAIN: Angela Heinrich, left, and Joe Xerri drop Jenny Dufty and Kate Smith off in Horsham. The Wimmera Southern Mallee Community Transport Service route from Kaniva to Horsham has returned after COVID-19 closed the service down. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The bus enables people to attend medical appointments in Horsham, as well as maintain social connections and get out and about. “The bus is a really critical way for people to remain living in rural towns for longer,” Mr Millar said. “This is one of the many things we do as an organisation to try to support rural communities and try to support people to live in their homes for longer – because we know that independence is critical to living longer in life.” Mr Millar said the community

bus differed from some traditional bus routes because it included volunteers to help people on and off the bus. “Our bus and the Kaniva bus have got a lot lower level accessibility,” he said. “So it’s a lot easier for people who have difficulty accessing buses to get on and off.” The service costs between $3 and $13 return and bookings are essential by calling 1800 952 211 or 5382 5607 by 2pm the day prior. Mr Millar said along with the partnership with West Wimmera

Health Service, the community bus was benefitting from Department of Transport money. He said Centre for Participation was working with My Community to create a community transport service mobile phone app, for online bookings. Mr Millar said although the Kaniva route was the only one in action, he hoped to run additional bus routes from Edenhope and other areas. “During COVID we had to stop all of those,” he said. “It’s great to have the Kaniva route up and running again.”

Wimmera-Mallee people struggling with fertility could benefit from a State Government investment in public IVF services. The government is investing $70-million to establish public fertility care services in 2021-22. Ballarat IVF medical director Russell Dalton welcomed the announcement, which would make IVF services more affordable for an estimated 4000 Victorians annually. The government expects public IVF will save people accessing the treatment an average of $10,000 each. Dr Dalton said he hoped the funding would help regional Victorians access fertility services. He said three quarters of regional Victorians undergoing fertility services were travelling to Melbourne, and while 19 percent of Victorians lived in regional areas, only five percent received assisted reproductive services in their region. “Many regional families experience additional difficulty accessing IVF services due to the costs involved with travelling to Melbourne for appointments and treatment,” he said. “The announcement of funding for public IVF will help many Victorians achieve their dreams of becoming parents, and I’m hopeful that more services will be available in the regions as a result of this funding.” The funding includes an investment of $50-million to provide up to 2700 free treatment cycles and a range of other fertility care services, and $20-million to improve public hospitals to deliver fertility services. Dr Dalton said the funding could also boost jobs and attract medical staff to the regions, in roles including fertility specialist doctors, nurses, counsellors, laboratory scientists and support staff. “This funding is not only important for prospective parents, but could also mean that we can attract more jobs and medical capabilities to regional Victoria, which will have long-term benefits for communities,” he said. The funding comes after the Independent Review of Assisted Reproductive Treatment found establishing public fertility services was critical to making the system fairer and was strongly supported by many stakeholders, including private providers. The final report recommended the establishment of public assisted reproductive treatment services and a public sperm and egg bank.

er to value the past. Ararat Rural City Council mayor Jo Armstrong said the exhibition had a key role in celebrating the region’s rich history and she encouraged visitors to enjoy the ‘compelling’ storytelling. “We have strong ties to fine merino wool production and distribution in the region. It is part of the fabric of our economy,” she said. “Since the early 1970s, Ararat Gallery has a longstanding commitment to supporting textile and fibre art. “This is partly due to our region’s historical association with wool production. “The humble fabric, wool is in-

The gallery commissioned acclaimed photographer Andrew Chapman, OAM, for his photography installation The Mark of Time: Celebrating Ararat’s wool heritage. The exhibition, an ode to the region’s association with wool production, aims to capture the Australian wool story of nine Ararat properties, featuring classic woolsheds, wool growers and sheep, as a remind-

scapes, out of sight of those passing by, is the rich wool heritage of the area in the form of classic woolsheds and outbuildings. “Sheds like Gorrinn, Mt William, Barton, Decameron and Wangarip hark back to the earliest days of white settlement in the district and to a time when wool was king. “It was wool that opened up the district and aside from a brief period of gold mining, wool has been the backbone of the district’s economy for much of its existence.” The free exhibition will be on display at the gallery until November 7.

credibly versatile, sustainable and used in some of the finest knitwear available.” Chapman said he had long been using his passion for rural life to inspire his work. “Ararat’s districts contain some of the most classic Australian rural scenery a photographer can wander through,” he said. “The land is well suited to wool production and the paddocks, resplendent with aged red gums, undulating and often framed with the background of the Grampians or the Mount Cole forest, make it a visual delight for anyone travelling through. “Often hidden away in these land-

Horsham Regional Art Gallery will open a ‘Still Now’ exhibition this month that explores the ‘still life’ art genre. The exhibition brings together 11 contemporary realist artists working across painting, sculpture and photography. The showcase involves work with varying approaches that ‘expand and enrich’ the concept of still life. The art genre depicts mostly inanimate subject matter. Still Now features Australian artists Susannah Blaxill, Jane Burton, Dianne Emery, Juan Ford, Sam Leach, Mali Moir, John Pastoriza-Piñol, Darren Wardle, Jud Wimhurst and Michael Zavros and Japanese artist Asuka Hishiki. The exhibition takes inspiration from Dutch ‘golden age’ painter Adriaen Coorte, who created small unpretentious still life paintings that were simple, refined compositions showing the fragility and impermanence of life. Exhibition curator Brenda Wellman said the 11 artists created works to capture the beauty of this classic style while offering their own interpretation to the long-standing tradition. “For their passion for realism and their desire to experiment and push boundaries, Still Now presents their interpretation of the long-standing vanitas tradition of still life, and how it reflects on the transience of life and its relevance today,” she said. Still Now will be on display until August 22. • Horsham Regional Art Gallery will be closed until further notice due to the State Government seven-day statewide circuit breaker lockdown.

Development imperative to plan A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

regional development leader has stressed the Wimmera’s infrastructure must be ready for a mineral-sands mining boom if major industry players progress their projects.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness emphasised significant investment was needed in the region’s housing market, educational and health facilities to prepare for potential mining developments. Mr Sounness said mining projects, which leaders expected to generate hundreds of job opportunities, would place more pressure on the region’s housing market.

“It’s going to be a couple years before the mines start, but we’ve got to do the hard work now,” he said. “We need to generate more investment in housing, because if the community can’t meet the mining company’s needs, they will find other ways to solve the problem to get the job done. “We’ve got to make it attractive for families to want to move up here – we must be a bit orderly in the way we turn this ship around and make things happen.” Mr Sounness’ comments came after Iluka Resources chief executive Tom O’Leary announced the company would turn its attention to three Australian projects as potential ‘game changers’ for the industry.

One development he was referring to was its multi-million-dollar Wimmera Project, a mineral-sand-mining venture about eight kilometres north of Toolondo, in early planning phases. Mr O’Leary said if the company could develop a new technique to refine the Wimmera’s zircon, which had issues with impurities, it could unlock a major opportunity for the broader mining industry across western Victoria. Wimmera Project is one of four proposed projects within a 70-kilometre radius of Horsham, with the collective potential of turning the central Wimmera into a global hub for mineralsand operations. Mr Sounness said regional leaders must advocate further development to

ensure the Wimmera was prepared to cater for population growth. “If we’re lucky enough for growth to occur rapidly we need to plan and encourage some of the investment,” he said. “We need to make sure our region is ready to grasp any opportunities that come about.” Iluka expects environmental studies and community engagement relating to the overall mining development to continue until late 2021 before the company can seek government approval to proceed into a construction phase. Baseline environmental studies and community engagement relating to the development of the project’s Environmental Effects Statement, EES, continue through both face-to-face,

when appropriate due to current statewide circuit-breaker lockdowns, and online forums.

Engaged

Mr Sounness encouraged the Wimmera community to continue engaging in the consultation process. “The mineral-sands industry goes through a very extensive approval process set out by the State Government,” he said. “The company is very aware it needs to be seen as adding value to the community rather than destroying it. “When community members have a chance to have input into the various engagement measures throughout the project development, we need to make sure we’re very active and engaged.”

Crazy Socks 4 Docs day Raising awareness of mental health among colleagues is the focus of a Crazy Socks 4 Docs day in Ararat on Friday. East Grampians Health Service staff will wear a colourful array of socks to support the day. Medical services director Sophie Ping said hospital staff supported the day every year to raise awareness of mental health for all doctors and health practitioners around the world. “It’s not just doctors who can get involved in Crazy Socks 4 Docs day, we have invited all of our staff to wear their craziest socks on June 4 in support of all of our local GPs and medical staff who work at our service,” she said. GOOD CAUSE: East Grampians Health Service chief executive Andrew Freeman and medical The aim of the day is about normalising the conversation around mental health and creservices director Dr Sophie Ping wear crazy socks in light of Crazy Socks 4 Docs day.

ating a safe place to speak out. Crazy Socks 4 Docs Trust Foundation was established to fulfil founder cardiologist Geoff Toogood’s vision of breaking down the stigma around mental health issues in doctors and health professionals. Mr Toogood has a lived experience of both depression and anxiety. He faced stigma and discrimination at many levels and was determined that once recovered he would create an awareness movement to break down the stigma faced by health professionals. He wants to reduce doctor suicides around the world. The health service is encouraging people to take a photo of themselves in crazy socks and post photos on social media with the hashtag #crazysocks4docs.

Aviation inspired Lexus confirms less than five LC Inspiration Series cars are headed to Australia

exus Australia has opened its order books for the 2021 LC Inspiration Series, which this time around draws its inspiration from ‘the world of aviation and aeronautical engineering’, flaunting a new fixed carbon-fibre spoiler, unique 21-inch forged alloy wheels and several other bespoke touches.

With less than five examples expected to make it Down Under, Lexus Australia has priced the ‘Inspiration Series’ more than $24,000 upstream of its regular versions, starting from

$219,393 plus on-road costs for the V8-powered LC500 and $219,553 for the hybrid LC500h. In creating the exclusive rear wing, Lexus says it channelled the knowhow gained from its exploits with the LFA supercar and aggro RC F Track Edition. Choosing ‘aviation’ as the development concept for the latest LC Inspiration Series, Lexus brought together technologies focusing on the comprehensive aerodynamic performance so important for flight. Combining aircraft technologies and vehicle technologies to realise a harmony of opposite elements with the

captivating design of the LC Coupe, Lexus was able to take the ‘even sharper, more refined’ driving concept of the LC to new heights. When all is said and done, the new wing ups the LC’s visual prowess in conjunction with those new 21-inch wheels and potentially ups the handling stakes thanks to the increased downforce. Other unique styling touches include a black-plated grille mesh and black ornamentation on the radiator grille, bumper garnish, headlamp surround, side rocker moulding and tail-light bracket. Three colours will be available;

White Nova, Sonic Silver and Onyx, the first two of which are designed to contrast against the black body elements. Moving inside the cabin, buyers will find carbon scuff plates, black leatheraccented front seats and a heap of Alcantara, which has been used for the steering wheel rim, gear shifter, door panels and centre console. The seats have been upgraded with more aggressive bolstering and a different upholstery design to enhance hip position holding performance by 18 percent. No changes have been made under the bonnets of the Inspiration Se-

ries, meaning the LC500 continues to develop 351kW-540Nm while the LC500h carries on with 264kW. As before, the V8 uses a 10-speed automatic transmission to channel its power to the rear wheels, whereas the hybrid features a continuously variable transmission. Lexus has sold 10 LC5s so far this year ending April, accounting for a slim 0.8 percent of the $100,000-plus sports-car segment, a market it shares with the cheaper RC. – Callum Hunter

No hydrogen on the radar for Kia

s Hyundai Motor Company Australia charges forward with the development and gradual roll-out of its hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, Kia Australia is taking a more laissez-faire approach to the alternative fuel type, but says it could ‘easily switch on’ the technology if the market deemed it necessary.

Speaking to GoAuto at the virtual media launch of the new Niro electrified SUV, Kia Australia, KAU, product planning general manager Roland Rivero said a hydrogen-powered vehicle was not immediately on the radar for the brand, but thanks to its part in developing the technology with Hyundai, it would not be difficult to tap into. “Fundamentally, Namyang – Hyundai Motor Group HQ – is not biased between red and blue, Namyang just looks at ‘this is the family’,” he said. “The hydrogen fuel cell technology has been developed by Namyang and right now the application has only been on the one side, but at any given point in time if market dictated, and demand dictated that hydrogen fuel cell was something that Kia should also bring to the table, it wouldn’t be difficult for it to be passed on to the red team. “Kia’s feeling at the moment is that

ELECTRIFYING: The Niro SUV opens the door for the EV6 and future electrification endeavours, just not hydrogen. demand would suggest EV is the way to go; that’s the horse to back at this point in time, but should the market suggest otherwise, we could easily switch on the hydrogen fuel cell technology and powertrain for Kia products, because Namyang’s done all the hard work and the research already for it, and applied it to the blue team.”

Hyundai’s first fuel cell electric vehicles, FCEV, the Nexo, arrived on Australian shores in March, available exclusively through a lease program aimed initially at fleet customers, with an expansion in the second half of the year to accommodate private customers as well. The ‘blue team’ has certainly been

making a lot of noise about its hydrogen exploits in recent months, however the biggest revelation came in April when global executives confirmed its N performance division was exploring possible applications of the fuel type, including an innovative new blend with battery-electric technology. Whether or not anything comes of

the project remains to be seen, let alone if any of it makes it across to the ‘red team’, with KAU chief operating officer Damien Meredith predicting a fair bit of overlap between the various fuel types, both fossil and alternative. “What’s going to happen, no-one really knows, but from our point of view obviously, there are some trend lines that are occurring,” he said. “We know that electrification is going to continue to grow, what we don’t know is by how much, and we don’t know whether or not alternative fuels might come into play, for example fuel cell technology. LPG might make a comeback in Australia; we’re surrounded by LPG but never take advantage of it. “So there’s still variables in play that have not been put in concrete yet to give us a really clear picture of what’s going to happen in five to 10 years’ time. “In my view there’s still a place for internal combustion engines, it will obviously be a bit like the small car market; continue to decline but still be there, so it’s going to be interesting.” Mr Meredith also definitively confirmed the EV6 would be the next electric-electrified vehicle to arrive Down Under before the hybrid and plug-in hybrid, PHEV, versions of the Sorento arrive in 2022. – Callum Hunter

New-generation MU-X ‘loaded’

suzu Ute Australia has started steaming up the hype train for its looming new-generation MU-X off-roader by revealing a flurry of new images of the D-Max-based SUV as well as detailing some of the standard equipment highlights of the higher-end variants.

TAKING ORDERS: Isuzu Ute has opened expressions of interest for its new MU-X large SUV, expected in Australia later this year.

this early stage will reportedly include wireless Apple CarPlay, bi-LED headlights, LED daytime driving lights, 20-inch alloy wheels, powered tailgate and Isuzu Ute Australia, IUA, ‘Intelligent Driver Assistance System’ with the finished kit list set to offer ‘unprecedented-levels of equipment and technology previously unseen in any Isuzu before’.

Full specifications will reportedly be revealed in the lead-up to the new MU-X’s Australian launch in the latter stages of this year, however executives are promising it to deliver plenty of kit. IUA managing director Hiroyasu Sato said while it was too early to reveal all the details, he was proud to share the company had been work-

ing hard to ensure ‘our all-new Isuzu MU-X combines the latest technology and design with the proven formula of durability and reliability that Australian motorists have come to expect from Isuzu over the years’. One thing we can be sure of is the powertrain, which is all but guaranteed to be based around the familiar turbocharged 3.0-litre four-cylinder

Brandishing exactly the same body as seen back in November, there is very little to identify the new MU-X as a relative of the aggressive looking D-Max, with the only real similarity being the fanged grille inserts. Things are a little different inside the cabin, however, where we find largely the same interior as the D-Max, including the centrally-mounted 9.0inch touchscreen infotainment system and pop-out cupholders, albeit with a more occupant-focused finish. One feature not being carried across it seems is the handy dash-top storage compartment as found on the high-grade D-Max LS-U and flagship X-Terrain, however the dual glovebox arrangement has been retained. Other changes include a tidied-up centre console, a decent smattering of what looks to be soft-touch materials – to try to mask the D-Max’s workhorse nature – and classier-looking seats and matching leather upholstery. Standard equipment highlights at

diesel engine as found in the D-Max, where it churns out 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels under normal driving conditions with 4x4 and low-range able to be engaged via the selectable 4x4 system, supplemented on this new generation by a locking rear differential. Transmission duties on the ute are taken care of by either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, however it remains to be seen if the DIY option is carried over to the wagon. One key area IUA has a prime opportunity to jump to the head of the segment is in braked towing capacity; if the MU-X can replicate the D-Max’s 3500kg rating, it will leapfrog key rivals such as the Ford Everest, 3000kg, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, 3100kg, and Toyota Fortuner, 3100kg, to join the SsangYong Rexton, 3500kg, as the only offering within the segment to match its ute counterpart. For reference, the current generation can tow 3000kg braked. Pre-orders for the new model are now open with the first 1500 registered customers, who are reportedly set to receive a limited-edition Isuzu Ute-branded Casio G-Shock watch. – Callum Hunter

Dad and I had some great times. I always looked up to him. When I moved into my own place he was sad to see me go, but always called around to see if I was okay. He was the kind of guy who always offered advice, but never expected me to take it. I knew Dad wouldn’t be around forever, and the day I expected to be sad turned out to be a true celebration of his life I’ll cherish forever. I’m so glad I have someone who cared to organise it.

Christian Devotions

The beauty and power of the truth.

Truth is both beautiful and powerful. Lies are conversely ugly, deceitful, and ultimately disempowering. The Bible is full of beauty and power, both as a whole and in all its individual parts. Here are just three examples of such beauty and power coming together so that we may know the truth and be set free. ‘Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!’ (Mark 9:24) ‘Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? “Father, save me from this hour”? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.’ (John 12:27) ‘Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.’ (Romans 14:4) These examples are quite unrelated except for the fact that the one who makes the comment corrects themselves mid-sentence. They do so in order that the whole truth of the matter at hand is revealed. In Mark 9:24, we hear a beautiful confession in Jesus’ ability to do all things. But no sooner as the confession leaves the father’s lips does he correct himself in the whole truth of the matter. He needs Jesus alone to supply faith to believe the truth that Jesus, as God, really can do all things. And as a real human being who is experiencing the heartache of rejection, betrayal and abandonment by his disciples, Jesus prays for a divine rescue from the situation. But in the very same breath, and spoken as true God, the truth of his whole mission is stated, ‘No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.’ In Romans 14:4 Paul highlights a servant’s full dependence upon their master in all matters. Therefore Paul must add that, if God is your Master, you will stand and not fall, for God is your security in all things. Pastor Chris Raatz, Grampians Lutheran Parish

Volleyball comp down to the wire P

BY DAVID BERRY

egasus, Heidelberg and Von Steiger Bloods all struck psychological blows in the lead-up to finals, with solid wins in the final round of Volleyball Horsham’s A Grade competition.

Pegasus upset Volleyroos and jumped to third on the ladder. Will Brennan was in good touch all night for the winning team. Heidelberg hung on to beat Shados Inala in a battle of the top two teams, with the clock ending the chances of Shados Inala as it was making its charge in the fourth set. Veteran Tim Popple enjoyed one of

his best games for the season, while Nathan Berry and Jack Exell combined well for the winners. Timmy Carter and Jon Fitzgerald got the nod of the referee in Von Steiger Bloods’ upset win over Phantoms. The loss meant Phantoms, the one-time premiership favorites, dropped from third to fifth on the ladder. The make-up of the first week of finals will see Pegasus take on Von Steiger Bloods in one elimination final, with Volleyroos and Phantoms battling in the second elimination final, with losers bowing out. Heidelberg and Shados Inala will enjoy the week off and will meet in the second semi-final.

In B Grade, Parma Army made it five wins on the trot with a four-set win over Waterhammers, with Renee Allen on fire for the winners and well supported by Jess McKeown. The loss wasn’t too painful for Waterhammers because they retained the double chance. The set they won was enough to keep them ahead of their opponents on the ladder. Heidelberg Masters finished the season as minor premiers when they accounted for a plucky Von Steiger Gangsters. Father and son duo Richard and Joey Nagorcka was best for Heidelberg Masters. Von Steiger Shadows retained fourth

spot on the ladder, beating Von Steiger Barbarians, while Von Steiger Boomers will go into the finals with great confidence after comfortably accounting for Von Steiger Bloods. The first week of finals for B Grade involves Parma Army battling Von Steiger Barbarians in one elimination final, while Von Steiger Shadows face off against Von Steiger Boomers in the second elimination final. The winners will progress to the first semi-final and the losers will bow out. Heidelberg Masters and Waterhammers will watch it all unfold as they enjoy the week off. The association will give C and junior grades participants the oppor-

tunity to finish their home-and-away season, with the decision made to squeeze the final month of the season into three weeks. This means that the final round for C and junior grades will be played on Monday, with finals kicking off on Wednesday next week. All relevant information is on the association’s website and Facebook page. All scenarios are based on State Government’s COVID-19 announcements and members should keep abreast of what comes from Spring Street.

Hockey season review With an enforced weekend off from sport due to the statewide COVID-19 lockdown, Wimmera Hockey Associaton teams have an opportunity to assess where they stand after playing each opponent once. Teams can look forward to what they need to do to remain in the race for the finals. With no hockey played in the Wimmera last year, the focus for the 2021 season is to revive the competition with particular emphasis on providing the opportunity for younger members to get back into the sport. The season started with two fewer teams than 2019, with Warrack Women and Dimboola’s under-16 team not having enough players to field teams. Yanac came into this season as reigning premier in all three divisions, having won grand finals in 2019 after becoming the first club to win three titles in the same season for the first time in 2018. With all three again undefeated and on the top of the ladders after five rounds of the 2021 season, it is an ominous sign for the rest of the competition that Yanac is on track to do it again, for a third consecutive season. In the open competition, it is difficult to tip against the undefeated Tigers, who have accounted for all opponents so far this season. And it is hard to single out a serious contender for their title. Despite their relative positions on the ladder, the remaining five teams are evenly matched. They all feature several key players to their chances of winning, but all lack depth in their squads, with some results coming down to the players each team can get on the field for any given game. Second-placed Warrack Hoops are missing five players from their 2019 grand-final team that narrowly went down to the Tigers in extra time. But their younger players are stepping up to fill these positions, and except for a bad day against the Tigers in round three, are showing they remain capable of spending the season in the top half of the ladder. Dimboola Burras are a formidable combination when they have their best players available but don’t have the depth to fill the gaps when they are not. After a slow start, they have found some form in recent weeks and are now challenging for second place on the ladder. Having struggled through most of the past decade and rarely appearing in the finals, things are comPage

ing together for Nhill Rangers. But like the Burras, a lack of replacement players might affect their chances later in the year. The two teams outside the top four, Kaniva Cobras and Horsham Hurricanes, are also still in the finals mix. The Kaniva team has plenty of players to pick from, which might prove an advantage later in the season. And despite being yet to win a game, the Hurricanes are the only team to score more than one goal against the Tigers, which highlights their potential against teams closer to them on the ladder. Although undefeated Yanac leads the women’s competition, it is not as far ahead as its counterparts in open company. After many seasons struggling in the lower half of the ladder, Kaniva Women have found form this season and look the most likely to challenge Yanac, controlling much of the play in their round-two encounter only to lose by one goal. Nhill Thunderbirds is another team that could cause an upset if they can get their best team on the field consistently. Horsham Jets have suffered a couple of injuries to key players early this season, which is testing the depth of their squad, but with their return, they remain a contender. The combined Dimboola and Warracknabeal team has struggled early, but the more they play together, the more they are gelling as a team, and they have the resources to win a game or two this season. Depending on restrictions, hockey is scheduled to resume on Saturday at Warracknabeal’s Anzac Park. If play goes ahead, the open division will feature two top games, with Dimboola Burras having the opportunity to show their recent wins were not lucky breaks when they tackle the undefeated Tigers, and the points earned from the Cobras and Rangers game could prove valuable by the end of the season. In the other game, the Hoops will have to take the Hurricanes seriously as this opponent is improving and could cause an upset. A match between Kaniva and Thunderbirds in the women’s competition will have similar importance as these two scramble for second place on the ladder, while first-placed Yanac takes on fifth-placed Dimboola Roos. – Simon King

Small outfits shine at Horsham Small stables punched above their weight, victorious in seven of the nine events staged at Horsham Racing Centre on Friday. Glenorchy owner-trainer Greg Cooper was all smiles when his five-year-old Grinfromeartoear USA gelding Local Icon saluted in a pace over 1700 metres. Bred by Greg’s father Reg, Local Icon is a product of the Cooper family’s long-time involvement in racing. Local Icon is out of the Panorama mare It Is What It Is, one win, from Reasons Why, six wins, from the maiden mare Shadlite, which was bred from the Floodlight mare Cup Time in 1980. Driver Jason Lee slotted Local Icon into the coveted one-out, one-back position after starting from gate five over the trip. In a winning move at the 500-metre mark, Lee managed to switch his charge down to the pegs and was then able to use the sprint lane down the home stretch to score from Seal The Destiny – Jackie Barker – with Aerodyne Guy – Aaron Dunn – third.

Bonavista Boy

Buangor trainer-breeder-part-owner Louis Franc combined with driver Michael Bellman to land Bonavista Boy in a restricted stakes contest. The four-year-old gelding can do plenty wrong in his races, but driver Bellman got the best out of him and www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

a final half in 57.1 seconds proved beyond the opposition and saw an easy eight-metre victory.

Dreamers Delight

Toolern Vale trainer and part-owner Tayla Nicholson’s four-year-old mare Dreamers Delight was another all-the-way winner on the Horsham circuit. Driven by her partner Zac Phillips, Dreamers Delight was able to cross from gate five and in a ding-dong battle up the home straight prevailed by a half neck from a death-seating Revitalise – Kerryn Manning – in a rate of 1:57.5. The VHRC two-year-old pace was taken out in fine style by Relentless Me for Pootilla for Ballarat district trainer Brittany O’Brien and owner Tim O’Brien. The Restrepo filly, with reinsman Neil McCallum in the sulky, started best and led from go to whoa, with a two-metre margin over Hot Deal – Aaron Dunn – at the post and a further gap of four metres to Got Equity – James Herbertson – in third spot. Brittany bought up a double in the APG – APTS Bonus Race Series Pace with her four-year-old gelding Wyattflynn. After starting from the outside of the second row, Wyattflynn settled at the tail of the field and driver Darby McGuigan waited until the 300-metre mark to make a move.

Taken wide round the final bend, the son of Pet Rock USA reeled off a quarter in 28.4 and scored in impressive fashion.

Ser Patrick

Best known these days for breaking in and educating young stock, respected Maryborough horseman Mark Hayes and his wife Susan were in the winners circle at Horsham with one they bred, race and train – four-year-old gelding Ser Patrick. The son of Bacardi Lindy led all the way in the trotters mobile over 2200 metres for his second career victory from 14 starts.

Katies Way

The day’s racing finished with a long-awaited reward for Snake Valley breeder-owner-trainer Wayne Pearson when his debutante Katies Way out-classed the opposition to capture the VHRC The Heart of Harness Racing Pace with James Herbertson aboard. The seven-year-old mare had first qualified to race in June 2017 but a series of foot problems, viruses and niggles saw her in and out of training with ‘12 months off here, six months off there’ until Pearson was able to finally get an uninterrupted preparation of steady work and trials into her. – Tony Logan and Len Baker Wednesday, June 2, 2021

Will the break help or hinder? T

BY DEAN LAWSON

here is a mighty question hanging over Wimmera football league.

Will a league-wide bye and all the anxiety surrounding the latest COVID-19 lockdown influence how teams perform this weekend if they are allowed to play? Saturday’s round of matches represents a simple double-take in preparations and whether everything that’s happened has provided teams with a disadvantage or advantage remains to be seen. There was plenty of discussion last week about the availability of players travelling weekly from Melbourne before the full state lockdown occurred. Uncertainty will continue to sur-

will be telling. However, fellow finishers Lucas Cook and Nick Dinham have also been in good form. At the same time, Jack Landt has been enjoying a rich vein of form for the Roos, kicking 13 goals in the last three rounds, working the goal-front alongside Mitch Jorgensen and Dylan Tarczon. A couple of other players to watch include Ed Lindon and Sam White for the Eagles and Tom Cree and Brock Landt for the Roos. Again, how well teams recover from the interruption might determine what happens between Horsham and Minyip-Murtoa in Horsham. Minyip-Murtoa was riding a wave of form and Horsham was a bit wobbly before last week. They meet amid a fresh set of circumstances.

round this issue based on any easing of restrictions this week and also on how players and clubs feel about the circumstances. Assuming everyone who is usually available is available this weekend, games should be intriguing and reflect how teams respond to what, in truth, is a predictable seasonal hiccup. The game of the round is still a clash between fourth-placed Dimboola and second-placed Southern Mallee Giants at Dimboola in a big weekend for competition finals aspirants. Both the Roos and Giants are strong across the lines and with major weapons at their disposal. Brock Orval has played only three games for the Giants yet has 18 goals or an average of six a game, and his absence with a serious knee injury

The fundamental difference still appears to be Minyip-Murtoa’s various goal-front options compared with Horsham’s lack of potency in attack. The Burras have Brayden Ison, Tim McIntyre, Jae McGrath and now Nick Petering all in double figures for goals this season and that’s without considering aerialist Kieran Delahunty. Horsham’s primary goal-kicker for the season so far is Brody Pope with nine. The Demons are sure to have used the break to consider all possibilities. Looking further afield, who has their money on Nhill beating Ararat this week? The Tigers love nothing more than playing Ararat at home and the Rats often give the westerners a good look at an upset.

Nhill has had a lengthy rest, having last played on May 15, and should be fresh to take on the Rats, who would be also looking to a return, having beaten Horsham Saints last run. The Saints, meanwhile, take on Warrack Eagles in a Blue Ribbon Cup match and the break might be just what the doctor ordered to turn the club’s fortunes around. The Saints are sitting fifth, above but on the same points as Horsham and Ararat. Winless Warrack Eagles might have also enjoyed a spell and opportunity to regroup and will back themselves to upset the visitors. Wimmera league’s fixture has pushed forward, which means roundeight games will now be on June 12 of the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

Fixture shuffle to add new dynamic in district comp Okay, Horsham District football fans, start doing your calculations. The latest COVID-19 circuit-breaker has forced officials to reshuffle the draw which means what was supposed to happen last weekend will now happen on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. So put everything you expected to happen last weekend and what it would have meant regarding ladders, form and player availability on the backburner for the moment. Instead, consider where teams stand at the moment and what round-eight opponents they face this Saturday – if competition goes ahead. Round eight will continue as scheduled and while everything is fair and reasonable, apart from what scheduling games during the long weekend means, circumstances could change season dynamics. For example, the match-of-theround spotlight now falls on North Park at Stawell, where third-placed Kalkee meets fourth-placed Swifts. Another big game also looms between fifth-placed Jeparit and a seventh-placed Natimuk United, desperate to force its way into the top six. Critically, a week’s break provides teams with a solid chance to regroup and in Kalkee’s case that might be

important, considering its last game was a loss to Rupanyup. That was the only game the Kees have dropped so far for the year and with Louis Papst, Ben Lawson and Pat Purcell on song they will be hard to beat. Swifts, four wins, go into the game against Kalkee with a solid victory over Taylors Lake with Todd Matthews sitting on 20 goals for the year after bagging seven last outing. Scott Carey is also flying, having been in the top-three best players for his team in six games so far this season. Jeparit-Rainbow is running with a six-four win-loss record so far this season and after a big win over Kaniva-Leeor United and a rest with an enforced bye, will want to continue consolidating its position, at Rainbow. Ben Warren has 14 goals from two games and roaming tall Peter Weir is always a problem for opposition. The Storm meets a Natimuk United side that monstered Edenhope-Apsley last game, with Nathan Koenig and Nick Groves kicking 17 goals between them. But did the week off come at the worst time possible for the Rams who would have been bubbling after the big win over the Saints?

IN FORM: Louis Papst has been on song for the Kees this season.

Goals have been flowing off the boots of a variety of players, no more so than Harrow-Balmoral’s James Staude who leads the league tally with 28 this season, his only lean

game coming in round two against Rupanyup. He’s averaging more than four goals a game and will be among key players for the Roos against Edenhope-Apsley

at Harrow on Saturday. The Southern Roos will want to strengthen their claim on a top-six spot, while Edenhope-Apsley will want to haul itself up the ladder by claiming a scalp. Noradjuha-Quantong, one of the competition pace-setters, will have to wait another week to test itself against Rupanyup, but can ill-afford to relax against Kaniva-Leeor United. While the Bombers might be unbeaten and the Cougars sitting 10th with one win, the visitors are still finding their feet and are unpredictable. Rupanyup, meanwhile, will be favourite to beat Laharum with plenty of discussion around the goal-kicking form of Jack Musgrove, who has 25 for the season, and the oomph provided by the likes of Mitch Gleeson. Shannon Argall’s influence will be significant for Laharum if the contest gets underway. Taylors Lake meets Pimpinio in a game the Lakers should win at Dock Lake Reserve, but Pimpinio, given its strong showing against Laharum last outing, will give itself every chance of causing an upset. The round of games going ahead this weekend is fully dependent on State Government restrictions. – Dean Lawson

Business as usual across Mininera BY JONATHAN BOX

fter a forced week off due to the statewide COVID-19 lockdown, Mininera and District Football League players will be eager to get back into their sport.

The league executive has decided last week’s round will be missed, resulting in round seven being played on August 14 instead of round 16. This week, round eight, will be played as per the draw. Great Western, which has dropped to fourth on the ladder, will host Glenthompson-Dunkeld. The Rams had a first round loss to Tatyoon and have not dropped a game since. Tyler Staude, Jamie Ferguson and William Collins, along with Mathew Lowe, have all been frequenting the best for the Rams, with Christopher McLeod doing the most damage in front of goals averaging more than three majors a game. Great Western has had a tough run of late, playing the two undefeated teams in a row and now taking on third on the ladder. The Lions will be keen to get their season back on track, however, and a win this week could do just that. The Lions will look to on-field leaders in Nigel Sibson, Danny Grellet and Ryan Folkes, who have all been in good form, to get them

over the line. With Damon Folkes continuing to be accurate in front of goal, Great Western is a real chance in this game. Fifth-placed Ararat Eagles will take on 10thplaced Wickliffe-Lake Bolac. The Eagles have only won one of their past three encounters, however that will be set to change this weekend. Jayden Wright, Naish McRoberts and Adrian Reid have all been in fine form for the Eagles and will look to put it together for the win against the Magpies. Although the Magpies have only won the one game thus far, the side has been competitive in several of their past games, winning at least one quarter. Harley Hunter, Charlie Vallance and James Anagnostou have all featured in the best players in five out of the six games and will be pushing themselves and their team to not only be competitive but to get over the line and get a couple more wins under their belt. In other games around the league, LismoreDerrinallum hosts ladder leader Tatyoon, Penshurst will take on Hawkesdale-Macarthur, Moyston-Willaura meets the powering Woorndoo-Mortlake and SMW Rovers will try to make it three in a row when they play Caramut. The round of games going ahead this weekend is fully dependent on State Government restrictions.

District leaders reschedule round H

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham District netballers will look to resume the 2021 season on Saturday following a snap statewide lockdown that halted community sport.

League leaders have decided to reschedule round seven for the June 12 long weekend, with teams to contest round eight as planned on Saturday. All will depend, of course, on any further State Government announcements. But if the round does go ahead, there are several games that will generate interest. Swifts, fifth, and Kalkee, sixth, are two of four A Grade teams on 12 points and will both consider a win vital to staying in touch with the top four. This match, at Stawell’s North Park, is shaping as a close one and much will depend on whether Kees goalies Jenna Bywaters and Lucy Brand can match the accuracy of Baggies shooters Michaela Armer and Jade Ralph. Kalkee might have a slight advantage across the court, but the match could go either way. Jeparit-Rainbow, seventh, and Natimuk United, eighth, will also lock horns this week, at Rainbow. The sides are also sitting on 12 points and would love to knock another team out of the top six. Again, this match-up should be hotly contested, since both sides really need another win. Both teams boast skilled, experienced defenders and Rams keeper Casey Vanstan and tall Storm goalie Georgia Batson should enjoy a good tussle. Up the other end, Storm’s experienced defenders might just get the better of Natimuk United’s developing shooting combinations. The other match of the round is between third-

This encounter should also be a close one, with both teams looking to build on successful starts to the season. The Cougars’ defence has been in fine form all season, with Elizabeth Hawker and Emma Hawker leading the way. They will need to work well together again this week at Quantong to limit opportunities to tall Bombers shooter Shannon Couch. Bombers midcourters Jayne Tucker and Ash McKinnon have also been in good touch and will need to focus on feeding the ball well to Couch, to make the most of her height advantage. Up the other end, Nikki Hawker was on song in goals last round and Noradjuha-Quantong defenders Brooke Pay and Yolly Molineaux will need to be ruthless. In other matches, Harrow-Balmoral will look to bounce back from its one-goal loss to the Bombers in round six when it hosts Edenhope-Apsley. The young Saints will struggle to match it with their higher- ranked opponent, with the Southern Roos likely to keep second spot. Ninth-placed Rupanyup faces a big challenge indoors at home against undefeated Laharum, while Pimpinio will be pleased to claim four points thanks to a bye against Taylors Lake.

This game appears an even match across the court. Keep an eye out for Dimboola rising talent Ruby Redford. Meanwhile, on the court at Horsham City Oval, Horsham will put Minyip-Murtoa’s game under the microscope. Minyip-Murtoa sits a little off the mark at the moment and fabricating a victory over the fancied Demons would be a feather in the cap. The Burras will have to exploit their speed, perhaps as we suggested last week, through Laura Delahunty and Meg Cashin. But to use a familiar cliché, tall players don’t get any shorter and Horsham might have too much height, particularly with Georgia and Ally Hiscock slipping the ball to Georgie Carberry and Jedda Heard. Nhill opens the Davis Park gates to Ararat this week and by all rights, Ararat should be too good for the Tigers. But we know Ararat footballers sometimes struggle to come to grips with the trip to the northwest. Does this ever apply to the netballers? Again, there will be some fascinating tussles and a homecourt advantage might open the door for mid-court runners to draw Claudia McRae and Charlotte Foulds into the game. The Tigers weren’t far off the mark against the Giants a couple of rounds ago, which means Ararat’s Jesse Bligh out of the middle and her attacking offsider Annie Shea have a big job. The league has moved round eight to June 12 on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. • Schedule dependent on state lockdown directions.

Netball still wide open It will be a case of take-two in Wimmera netball league on Saturday if community sport gets a nod to return in regional Victoria. Wimmera round-seven games abandoned last weekend due to the state COVID-19 circuit-breaker lockdown, have simply moved forward a week. The scenario for the A Grade competition also remains the same, with all teams in the hunt for a finals appearance at the season end and most capable of winning the climax. Perhaps the game of the round looms at Warracknabeal’s Anzac Park, where a big crowd, if they are allowed, will gather behind the community centre for a clash between Warrack Eagles and Horsham Saints. Both sides have had a break to lick their wounds after last-round losses and must pull out all stops in a jostle for position on the ladder. Predictions last week were that on-court matchups would mean everything in determining the outcome of the game and respective coaching groups would have done their homework. A midcourt battle will be of particular interest considering the influence Sarah Spicer and Emma Koschitze have for the Eagles. Will they be up against Ashlee Grace and dogged Jess Cannane? We’ll wait and see, but maintaining possession in a hot-tempo contest will be important. Another fascinating game is likely to unfold at Dimboola where the home-town Roos take on Southern Mallee Giants. Has the week off robbed both sides of momentum generated by profound wins the week before? A break works for some, but not for others.

Splitting the sticks Harrow-Balmoral forward James Staude is leading Horsham District football league’s goal-kicking tally after six rounds of competition. Pictured having a break from his earth-moving business in Harrow, Staude has 28 goals, averaging almost five a game, and leads from Natimuk United’s Nathan Koenig, 26, and Rupanyup’s Jack Musgrove, 25. A home-grown Southern Roo, Staude is approaching a 200-game milestone. He is full of praise for a young crop of footballers coming through the club and is confident his team will be in the finals mix as talented players return to action in the second half of the season. Pending COVID-19 restrictions, Harrow-Balmoral is scheduled to play Edenhope-Apsley in a west Wimmera derby on Saturday. Story, page 53. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER
