Peaks resort BY SARAH MATTHEWS

evelopers are refining plans for a multi-million-dollar boutique resort designed to capitalise on the northern end of the Grampians Peaks Trail.

Owners of Laharum-based Australian Wildflowers have been working on the accommodation project, which includes a $5-million first stage, for more than a year. They plan to build the resort on their property abutting the trail head at Mt Zero. Grampians Peaks Trail project leaders estimate the $30-million, 160-kilometre asset – scheduled to be completed this summer – will generate 86,000 visitor nights in the region while boosting the economy by $6.4-million a year. Australian Wildflowers owner and managing director Jo Gardner said she and her business partners came up with a resort concept after lamenting a lack of accommodation options at the northern end of the park. “We have visitors come to the farm anyway and thought maybe we should scope out the idea of creating a resort that supports the peaks trail,” she said. Ms Gardner engaged award-winning Adelaide-based Troppo Architects to work on a draft plan. She said the company specialised in environmentally sustainable development and was experienced in designing projects appropriate for national parks. “Everything has been designed to have minimal impact on the environment,” she said. “Our plans are eco-friendly and the idea is for the resort to be solar sufficient and use recycled water. “If you’re up on the mountain it will be virtually hidden. We plan to use the

same materials they are using on the peaks trail, so lots of stone, timber and rusted steel. “The idea is to minimise the impact visibly across the landscape.” Ms Gardner plans to hand over resort operations to experienced eco-tourism operators and is keen to hear from interested parties. She said should the resort come to fruition, it would provide a great economic boost for the region. “Troppo Architects has done a lot of work with The Oscar Group in Horsham,” she said. “Oscar Building would do our build as well and we would use other local contractors.” Once built, the resort would also generate ongoing jobs in the region. “We’re still looking at employment numbers, which will be dependent on the scale of the project,” Ms Gardner said. “At the moment we are still in the concept stage and are playing around with different ideas, including accommodation options such as two-storey treehouses and camping. “There is also scope for other activities such as a day spa or somewhere for people to buy camping gear or hire a mountain bike.” Ms Gardner said early draft plans also included a cafe-restaurant pavilion, which would feature several function spaces and cater for both guests and the wider community. “We want to bring the community into it, from dropping in for a beer on a Friday night to hosting weddings or other events,” she said. “We want to create an inclusive environment for the wider community, not an isolating thing.” Continued page 7

Employers look to fill staff shortages BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera employer will look to metropolitan Melbourne for workers to fill job vacancies when COVID-19 restrictions ease. Stawell’s major meat processor Frew Group is experiencing a staff shortage due to restrictions on international workers, who make up a large percentage of its workforce. Managing director Robert Frew said the State Government had lifted restrictions to allow abattoirs to return to 90 percent of their workforce last week. “We had up to 500 workers at the start of the year and now we’re back to 420,” he said. “We could put another 20 people on tomorrow, and another 60 without restrictions. “We need to get back to our 500strong workforce and we’d really like to hit full capacity by February or March next year.” But, Mr Frew said attracting people who lived in Stawell and district to work in these manual labour positions was ‘next to impossible’. “No one is knocking on our door for employment,” he said. “Each year we employ more and more people from overseas to fill our vacancies. “A lot of local people don’t seem to want to come into these industries.” Mr Frew said he would look to metropolitan Melbourne for people who had lost work during the COVID-19 pandemic to fill positions. “Once the all clear is given and we can move around all of Victoria, we want to be first cab off the rank to try to attract people from Melbourne – but another issue is housing, that’s our biggest issue in this region,” he said.

“Our business will die if we don’t do something about it in the next four or five years because it is an ongoing issue. “Our workforce declining is not just because of COVID-19, we’re really struggling to find local people who want to work. The population in town is getting older and the younger people are leaving town.” Mr Frew said he believed the Federal Government’s JobSeeker and JobKeeper allowances were a disincentive for people to seek work in the meat-processing sector. “The government has probably been a little overgenerous with their payments. Young people aren’t really looking for work at the moment,” he said. He said while it could be a labourintensive job, there was potential for people to build on experience and their qualifications. “You learn hygiene, sanitisation practices, knife skills and discipline of getting up in the morning and going to work,” he said. “When you make a CV, if you say you’ve worked at an abattoir, employers can see you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty and that you’re doing manual labour.”

Meeting demand

Member for Ripon Louise Staley said it was crucial for industries such as meat processing and agriculture to secure enough workers in the busiest periods of the year. Her comments came at a time when processors were expecting a ‘spring flush’ of new lambs to hit the market and add pressure to the industry. “We’ve got a seasonal need for a workforce as the lambs come off and we will also have a much bigger demand all the way across the eastern seaboard of Australia for harvest,” she said.

“This provides a wonderful opportunity for those who have unfortunately lost their job because of the economic downtown or those who were working beforehand. “I would encourage people to look around for local industries that are looking for workers.” The unemployment rate in the Wimmera fell to 3.5 percent in August and to 6.7 percent across Melbourne. But Melbourne also experienced the largest decrease in job vacancies across the country, with 44.6 percent fewer jobs posted online compared with previous years. This comes at a time when industries such as retail, agriculture and postal services are upscaling in recruitment in preparation for a busy spring and summer. Harvest bulk handler GrainCorp intends to employ about 3100 casual workers across Australia, with 900 in Victoria. Already more than 5500 people have applied. Australia Post, BWS and Dan Murphy’s are also set to collectively employ up to 6000 people across Australia in the lead-up to Christmas. BWS state manager Vic-Tas Alison McCallum told The Weekly Advertiser the company was seeking casual employees in Stawell and Ararat and was preparing to open a new store in Horsham. “We have casual roles for liquor team members available in our BWS stores in Stawell and Ararat. We are opening a new store in Horsham this week, which means we have created eight new roles in the area,” she said. Australia Post said there would be 1500 positions across Victoria but could not provide details about where positions would become available.

Splash of colour lifts city Up-and-coming artists Freya and Lani Jones are helping to bring Horsham streets to life as part of a series of art projects across the rural city. Horsham Rural City Council and Powecor selected the girls’ art to be displayed on an electricity box on the corner Pynsent and Firebrace streets. The two young artists were successful in pitching their concept through an expression of interest process to the council’s public art advisory committee in early July. Lani, 15, and Freya, 12, are daughters of well-known Natimuk artist Dave Jones. Lani said the piece, which features flora and fauna from the region, was inspired by Wimmera author Steffen Schultz’s book about native flowers called Gariwerd Colours. “Gariwerd Colours gave us the inspiration for the flowers you can see on the box,” Lani said. “Lots of people passing by have stopped to comment and praise our work, which inspired us to keep going. “We find it exciting to think our paintings will be admired by the people of Horsham for years to come.”

Freya said the project would take about a week. “We have done a base coat and black coat, which has been a day each. We’re doing one side per day,” she said. Horsham council arts development officer Jillian Pearce said the council project aimed to scout out talented residents to help ‘activate and beautify’ the city’s public spaces. “The public art advisory committee wanted to generate some energy around town during COVID-19,” she said. “Mural art activates spaces and provides unexpected moments of engagement. It redefines how we relate to the world we inhabit every day.” Ms Pearce said she hoped Lani and Freya’s work would inspire other artists to take part in the project. “I love what these girls are doing. This project is an opportunity to really bring out the talent of our next generation of artists,” she said. “They’re actually being engaged in a professional capacity. It’s an amazing opportunity for them and inspiration for other young people to not underestimate their talent.” – Dylan De Jong

Pool registration deadline nears

November 1st marks deadline for new swimming pool registration initiative Pool and spa owners are reminded that they have just over a month to register with Horsham Rural City Council. The Victorian Government regulations require: • Mandatory registration of pools and spas with local Councils • Mandatory safety barrier inspection and certification • A process for dealing with barriers that do not meet safety requirements, and • Fees for registration, and lodgement of compliance and non-compliance certificates.

above-ground pools, indoor pools, hot tubs/spas, bathing or wading pools and relocatable pools that can hold water to a depth of more than more than 300 mm. “Barriers must be assessed by a registered building surveyor or inspector who will issue certificates of compliance or non-compliance, which owners will need to lodge with Council. “Inspection compliance certificates will then be required to be lodged with Council every four years,” he said.

Most drowning deaths of children under five happen in home swimming pools. The Government introduced new regulations in December last year to make swimming pools and spas safer and prevent young children from drowning. These changes require owners to register their pools and spas with their local council with a one-off fee of up to $79. Once registration is complete, the Council will inform the pool

Candidates release how-to-vote tickets

rarat mayor Jo Armstrong has joined former mayor Peter Beales in taking the unusual step of listing candidate preferences for this month’s Ararat Rural City Council election.

Cr Armstrong, in declaring a how-tovote ticket, said she felt it was important to be as ‘transparent as possible’ when informing residents and ratepayers of how she personally intended to vote. “I encourage all Ararat ratepayers and residents to cast their votes carefully. We should all consider recent history surrounding Ararat Rural City Council and vote accordingly,” she said. “Whatever the outcome, we need to maintain hard-fought integrity to ensure stability going forward.” Encouraging people to vote a specific way by announcing how-to-vote tickets is usually confined to state and federal government and large provincial local

government elections. It is unusual in rural municipal elections. “I’ve given this a great deal of consideration and believe the list I’ve provided gives voters important direction,” Cr Armstrong said. “This is how I intend to vote and I believe it is important to share it with the public and encourage them to do the same.” Cr Beales, meanwhile, stressed that he had made no deals or agreements in formulating his candidatepreference list. “I’ve never done a list before, but I have this time. It is a list I see as benefitting the future of the council,” he said. “The reality is that a Commission of Inquiry into Ararat Rural City Council made certain observations, which have helped form my opinion.” The Ararat election has 12 candidates for seven council vacancies. Jane Goninon tops the ballot draw fol-

lowed by William Waterston, Henry Burridge, Bob Sanders, Colin McKenzie, Bernardine Atkinson, Jo Armstrong, Gwenda Allgood, Rob Armstrong, Peter Beales, Cecilia Fresle and Neil Manning. Jo Armstrong’s how-to-vote ticket: J. Armstrong, Beales, Burridge, R. Armstrong, Goninon, Sanders, Waterston, McKenzie, Fresle, Allgood, Atkinson, Manning. Peter Beales’ ticket: Beales, J. Armstrong, Goninon, Burridge, R. Armstrong, Sanders, McKenzie, Waterston, Fresle, Allgood, Atkinson, Manning. Other council candidates to yesterday had not informed The Weekly Advertiser of any how-to-vote preferences. The Victorian Electoral Commission is mailing ballot packs to enrolled voters this week and people must have their votes in the mail or hand-delivered to relevant election offices by 6pm, October 23. The commission will finalise results on November 13.

‘Made The Grampians Way’ launch Grampians wine has long been a beverage of choice for many international and national connoisseurs and a new website now provides further insight into the range and quality available. Ararat Rural City Council, in partnership with Grampians Winemakers and Grampians Tourism, has launched a Made The Grampians Way website to showcase products and support the regional industry. Ararat council chief executive Tim Harrison said it was great to have worked in collaboration with the groups. “People near and far will be able to experience the region virtually and try our renowned wines,” he said. Dr Harrison said Made The Grampians Way would feature a variety of wine packs to suit a range of different palates and occasions. Examples include a ‘Spring Special’, which features a range of light and fruity options, ‘perfect as we come into warmer weather’. Grampians Winemakers chairman Damien Sheehan said the collaboration from district winemakers and groups resulted in a great platform to support the region through the COVID-19 pandemic. “It is bringing the industry more into the digital space,” he said. The Grampians wine region has almost 20 wineries, each selecting bottles for the wine packs to give buyers a regional wine experience.

Coffee and conversation Coffee and conversation starters is the focus of a health and wellbeing group’s campaign to encourage Ararat residents to start thinking about positive mental-health strategies. Takeaway coffee cups at cafés across Ararat Rural City will be branded with positive mental-health messages as part of Resilient Ararat’s #beanresilient campaign, starting today. In support of mental health, the group has supplied cafés throughout the city with specially branded takeaway cups. The designs encourage the community to think about the three principles of resilience – gratitude, empathy and mindfulness – and how they contribute to positive mental health. Project officer Jane Moriarty said the three principles, referred to as GEM, were a key talking point when the Melbourne-based Resilience Project visited the town earlier this year. “The purpose of this is to get the community thinking about GEM and sharing their thoughts and ideas on how they can lead happier, more fulfilling lives,” she said. “Eleven of our local schools have implemented the resilience projects curriculum, so we enlisted the help of a group of students to develop the messages for the cups. “They were very keen to share the messages of GEM with the wider community as they have first-hand experience with how gratitude, empathy and mindfulness can have a positive impact on our mental health and outlook on life.” Ms Moriarty said the cups included a question to get people thinking. “We have also included a blank space on the cups and are encouraging people to fill in this space with their answer to the question and post a photo to social media with the hashtag, #beanresilient,” she said. “We have put a lot of work into this campaign and we would really love to see the community embrace it by flooding social media with photos of themselves with their cups.” To complement the campaign, Resilient Ararat has supplied cafés with support services cards which outline different organisations people can contact if they need help to improve their mental wellbeing. The #beanresilient campaign will run across Ararat from today until October 21. ADVERTISEMENT

Population shift at the crossroads

e will watch closely during the next couple of years how governments approach a rare opportunity to promote regional growth.

There has been plenty of dialogue about how oppressive metropolitan experiences and adaptive workplace behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic might spur new interest in regional living. The idea is that many people might be looking to change their lot after clearly seeing advantages in a shift that might not have been so obvious before the pandemic. It follows a belief that everything that has happened in the past year might help stimulate a broader spread

of opportunities for Australia to develop while addressing some of the major issues of metropolitan centres choking under population pressure. But to believe this can happen naturally without dedicated and profound government guidance and support, perhaps like the spontaneous Victorian goldrush, is little more than pie-inthe-sky theorising. We know from our own experiences that people who have long settled into and are either comfortable with or simply know a way of life, can be hard to shift, regardless of how tough the circumstances or prospects. The appeal of rural and regional lifestyle has only so much weight and the reality is that when the pandemic passes, people will need serious

incentives to make that much talkedabout tree change. The primary stimulant governing what people do and where they live comes firmly from the hip pocket – and how much disposable income a lifestyle allows. When it comes to driving major change in how and where people want to live, the cost and convenience of living will ultimately be the deciding factors.

The pandemic might have slightly opened the door, providing a sliver of a view to the curious in our big cities, but it will take dedicated and driven schemes centred on decentralisation for us to see anything profound. It’s okay for a political party to philosophically promote the idea, but when in government they must put their money where their mouth is and drive the concept through far-reaching policy. If political forces seriously want more people to make the big shift to the country – and that means going beyond provincial outposts – they will also need to back the move with significant investment. Incentives around the cost of living and developing business and indus-

try, be it taxation relief, subsidisation of utility or transport costs or other creative consumer-cost-based stimulating packages, will all be necessary to break open that crack the pandemic has made in the seal. A weighty stimulant policy package that gets people to start considering a shift only needs to be in place for a relatively short time or strategically targeted at particular sectors. Getting people to initially settle in the regions represents the biggest challenge. Getting them to stay is the next. Our next regional ‘goldrush’ can’t happen unless there is enough willpower to not only allow it to happen, but to make it happen.

From page 1 Project leaders have been working with organisations including Parks Victoria, Regional Development Victoria, Horsham and Northern Grampians councils and Country Fire Authority. Ms Gardner said the development involved ensuring any proposals met government fire-safety guidelines, including incorporating bunkers into the design and creating an appropriate emergencymanagement plan. “We are considering all ideas and are still coming up with our final plan, in collaboration with other authorities,” she said. “It is still a concept at this stage but it’s one we’re excited about.” Once the draft plan is completed, project leaders will lodge a development proposal with Horsham Rural City Council.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Troublesome territory

SIR, – Since my nomination for Horsham Rural City Council, I have been approached by various lobby groups to sign up to their agenda or pledge. However, it would appear these lobby groups have failed to understand the legal role of a councillor. These requests might seem innocuous. But phrases such as ‘once elected you will promote and support our priorities, both in your local community and the council workplace’ are troublesome. The Local Government Act makes it very clear that the council workplace is the legal remit of the chief executive officer. So, even if a candidate felt the need to sign any pledge, their role would have no bearing on the way the council workplace functioned. What happens if a candidate signs the

pledge and what is contained in the pledge is not in the best interests of the whole municipality? What happens then? And, what happens if, after signing the pledge, the councillor votes for the best interests of the community, which runs contrary to the pledge they signed? Will we find that councillor or council in court for breach of contract? Who knows? And what about those who choose not to sign? Will lobby groups then target those candidates and infer they are anti-this or that? Will they be incorrectly vilified because they feel they are obligated to the whole community, no matter how honourable the cause may be? Again, who knows? B. Basham Horsham

Roads critical

SIR, – Growing up in Horsham and travelling the road to Ballarat many times, I remember the hold-ups due to road works and the changing road layout. Road infrastructure is an extremely important part of where we live. Stopping for roadworks can cause delays to our travel plans and it can be frustrating. But roads and associated infrastructure are used every day to transport freight throughout our region. For our farmers to get their stock to market or their grain to the silos they rely on the road infrastructure to be able to do their job. What our farmers are transporting does not just provide a benefit to them, it provides a benefit to our community, Victoria and beyond. Penny Flynn Horsham

Bridging gap

rarat Rural City Council candidate Rob Armstrong will strongly work to attract businesses to his municipality if he has success in approaching municipal elections.

Mr Armstrong said business was crucial for Ararat district to move forward. “I am a sixth-generation farmer in the Langi Logan district. I was born in Ararat, grew up here and I’m pretty sure I’ll happily die here eventually,” he said. “Don’t let that make you think I am narrow minded though. I have done plenty of travelling and run my own businesses off the farm also. I have a solid understanding of the area and issues that face our community. “I understand how to work in a team and operate in highly regulated industries, as well as self-employment. “I have the confidence and ability to understand and navigate the systems and processes required to implement positive change. “I raised my kids here and was heavily involved in their primary school council. “I am running for council because I really want to see the Ararat community unite. It may sound cheesy but we have a bit of divide between those who live in town and those who live out of town. I think there is a lot of benefit that could come from us working together. “I want to really push hard to bring more businesses to Ararat, providing jobs for those in town and services for those operating farms. “I have noticed a lot of businesses close down in Ararat which leaves farmers without anyone to repair machinery or provide products, but at the same time this has affected those looking for work in the town. “Ararat really needs some energy about

Peter Beales

Beales seeks second term

Rob Armstrong it. We need businesses to want to open up here; we need jobs to support those who live here, to encourage other people to want to live here. “We need tourists in our hospitality businesses and retail shops on the weekends because that keeps them open and booming, so we locals can enjoy having those great places to go ourselves. “This is a great place to live but I think we can do better, do more. I am keen to provide some of that energy and hope with your help we can really change things up a bit.” • The Weekly Advertiser welcomes written submissions from candidates standing for Horsham, Ararat, Northern Grampians, Hindmarsh, Yarriambiack and West Wimmera municipal councils in local government elections next month. Submissions should outline their reasons for standing and be no longer than 350 words.

Ararat Rural City Council candidate Peter Beales has listed his his experience and dedication to the community as important for him in winning a second term. Mr Beales, who moved from Kinglake to Ararat with his wife Jenny after 2009 fires, joined the Ararat council in 2016. He had previously represented Kinglake for eight terms, including four terms as mayor. “I was a member of Victoria Police for 29 years, owned the Kinglake West General Store for seven years and worked in disability, retiring in 2016 upon election to Ararat council,” he said. “I have been involved in sporting and community groups as a participant or official, was a Scout leader for 30 years and volunteer two days a week with Ararat Neighbourhood House’s

Second Bite food program. Mr Beales said he was also passionate about helping young people. “I am a mentor for the L2P driver program and president of the Rotary Club of Ararat,” he said. “I have been active in all parts of the municipality, bringing to light projects that seem to have disappeared, such as the refitting of Willaura and Elmhurst halls. “As Ararat mayor, I supported the chief executive in his restructuring of council management, which is no longer top heavy. “I have supported the council’s decision-making processes to be more open to the public, making the council very transparent in all its dealings. “I have supported projects that have improved services and infrastructure in the community and I believe I have sound man-

agement skills.” Mr Beales said he had also been ‘very’ proactive in promoting Ararat as a place to live and invest. “Since 2018, the council has spent more on targeted infrastructure and has low borrowings,” he said. “During the past three budgets, the council had one minimum rate rise with the last rate a decrease – the only council in Victoria to do so.” Mr Beales said Ararat voters should also be aware of 2017 Commission of Inquiry results and should contact all candidates about their views on the inquiry and its financial and reputational costs to the community. “My experience was crucial during the turmoil of the past and I believe I can be a mentor to new councillors,” he said.

‘From birth to retirement’

indmarsh Shire Council candidate Melanie Albrecht wants to build a strong future for her shire.

She said she was an enthusiastic and approachable firsttime nominee for the council and was driven to build a strong future for the community she loved. “I am passionate about ensuring Hindmarsh is a vibrant place where families want to raise their children and people dream of retiring,” she said. Mrs Albrecht was born in Nhill and educated at Nhill College before spending six years away at university. She returned to the shire to make a home with her husband at Gerang Gerung. The couple has a young family with four children aged 10, eight, six and two. “I have worked for 14 years in the executive team at West Wimmera Health Service, currently as executive director of

business and strategy,” Mrs

Albrecht said.

“I understand the needs of our community and the challenges that living in rural Victoria can present. “I am a strong advocate for equality between rural and metropolitan Victorians in government policy.” Mrs Albrecht said she was actively involved in her community. “I have served on Nhill early years parent advisory, Nhill College parent advisory, Nhill town and Hindmarsh Shire early years fundraising committees and Women’s Health Grampians board,” she said. “My most rewarding community engagement is being a Uniting Wimmera respite foster carer, providing respite for families caring for children in long term foster care. “My youth, professional expertise and qualifications in law, international studies,

business, health and company directorship through the Australian Institute of Company Directors, gives me a solid foundation for a role as a councillor. “I have nominated for local government because I believe a strong council is diverse and representative of its residents. “My vision for Hindmarsh is communities that thrive in their rural setting – from economic opportunities to recreation and lifestyle options, liveability of Hindmarsh is essential to the future of our municipality. “With future-focused leadership, Hindmarsh will offer the opportunities, lifestyle, services and facilities to support its residents from birth to retirement. “I am ready to listen, advocate for our community and provide a fresh voice on council focused on the greater good of our community into the future.”

Equity important Yarriambiack Shire Council candidate Kylie Zanker has listed equity for all in her community as a primary goal if she wins a seat in this month’s local government elections. “I have served as a councillor with Yarriambiack Shire Council from 2008-2020, including two years as mayor from 2011-2013,” she said. “Over this time my aim was, and has always been, to ensure that our community is sustainable, vibrant and a proactive place in which to live and work for generations to come. “Communication and a positive, open relationship with residents and council is the key. “Residents are asking for services and programs that are sustainable, roads and infrastructure that meet the current communities’ needs and support for business and tourism. “Partnerships and working together with the council to ensure that we work on our communities’ needs and goals is what will drive us forward as a community and shire and I’m determined to support this. “We need to advocate for recurrent funding, sustainable revenue sources and look at balanced budgets. These are some of the key strategies to look at in our council plan when delivering the services that our communities want, need and deserve. “My goal is to offer equity for all within our community – business, agriculture, families, aged, youth. It’s our diversity that makes Warracknabeal a vibrant and strong community to belong to and working to ensure we have service retention, if not growth is the key to this. “Our community deserves to be funded appropriately for the services that are delivered and I

will advocate and strive to ensure that we as a community and region are represented. “Funding and attracting grants for infrastructure, roads, rubbish, tourism are all areas that need to be focused on – our community has said that this is a priority. “I believe my past terms on council demonstrate that I am passionate, invested and work hard to ensure our community is represented and gets ‘what it needs’. If re-elected I will continue to uphold this. “Open communication, discussion and honest dialogue ensure that the community and council can work together – I truly believe and often say ‘it takes a community to raise a child and its takes a community of ‘ordinary’ people to achieve the extraordinary’ and I believe that’s what our community is – extraordinary.”

Gold research ‘promising’ CSIRO research has identified several new prospective gold-mineralisation sites along the flanks of Navarre Minerals’ ‘Stawell Corridor’ gold project in Victoria. The findings, along ‘Irvine’ and ‘Langi Logan’ basalt areas, are the result of a collaborative project involving the national science agency and Navarre Minerals. The Stawell Corridor is an extension of a corridor of rocks that produced historical Stawell and Ararat goldfields. Federal Department of Industry, Innovation and Science partly financed the research project under an Innovation Connections scheme. Navarre Minerals paid the balance. Navarre Minerals managing director Ian Holland said the research showed there was significant potential to apply computer simulation, not only for mineralisation at depth at Irvine and Langi Logan, but also for five other basalt domes in the Stawell Corridor project. He said earlier research on nearby Magdala gold deposit in Victoria, now owned by Stawell Gold Mines, had provided a deep understanding of the structural evolution of a multi-million-ounce gold system. He added that this had been used as a template to predict where gold mineralisation might occur on other basalt domes within the Stawell Corridor. Mr Holland described the outcome from its collaboration with CSIRO as ‘cutting edge’ and ‘exciting’. “Our Stawell Corridor gold project contains at least seven ‘Magdala’ analogues in a 70-kilometrelong tenement package south of, and on strike of, Stawell’s four-million-ounce Magdala gold mine,” he said. Mr Holland said Magdala’s gold mineralisation was believed to have resulted from periods of high fluid flow during episodes of high geological strain. He said the aim of the CSIRO research project was to reduce the search space along the corridor by predicting areas of potential concealed gold mineralisation that could be targeted with direct drill testing.

Flag pledge plea camping A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

n advocacy group is calling on Wimmera council candidates to make a pledge to fly the rainbow flag on LGBTIQ awareness days if they are elected.

Wimmera Pride Project communications manager Patrick Quaine has contacted six Wimmera councils to urge their candidates to sign one of five Rainbow Local Government pledges to fly the flag. Mr Quaine said candidates making this pledge represented a ‘massive step forward’ in helping LGBTIQ people feel more included in their communities. “We’re only asking to make the pledge to fly the flag – we think that’s a very important first step,” he said. “It doesn’t cost anything and it’s a really simple gesture, but it’s so powerful and meaningful to the council’s LGBTIQ constituents.” Eight of 58 candidates in Wimmera municipalities including Horsham and Ararat rural cities, Northern Grampians, West Wimmera, Hindmarsh, Yarriambiack and Buloke shire councils have made a partial pledge. An additional four candidates have made a full pledge, committing to the five priority areas such as establishing and continuing an LGBTIQ advisory committee to council and developing and implementing an action plan. Mr Quaine said raising the flag on days of awareness could help to foster an ‘inclusive and responsive culture’ that was accessible to all LGBTIQ people living in the Wimmera. He said the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia, IDAHOBIT, an annual event in May, would be a key opportunity for councils to show their support. “I know Horsham hasn’t flown the flag for

IDAHOBIT when requests have been made in the past,” he said. “If we don’t have those positive messages and symbolic gestures like raising the flag for IDAHOBIT to show their council supports them, then all people hear are all the negative things. “I think it’s important to recognise that LGBTIQ people still face discrimination. “I’ve faced verbal discrimination walking down the street while holding my partner’s hand and I’ve known people who have left town because of physical violence they have faced.”

Small gesture

Mr Quaine said the pledge to fly the flag would be a ‘small gesture’ that would likely encourage more people to feel comfortable with their identity. “It might encourage more people to be open and honest about their sexuality and gender identity,” he said. “A lot of people living in regional areas who are LGBTIQ might not even have the confidence or feel safe coming out, let alone sitting on an advisory committee to council.” He said it would take leadership from Wimmera councils to continue to strive for more inclusive communities. “We need leadership from our council to show our community that discrimination against LGBTIQ people should not be tolerated,” he said. “We should be doing things that make sure our LGBTIQ constituents who are part of our community, who pay our rates, who are our family, friends and co-workers can feel included. “We’re not asking for the world here. But this is a largely symbolic gesture that is hugely meaningful for us and doesn’t impact the rest of the community.” Candidates can make the pledge by visiting website rainbowvotes.com.au.

Courtney putting one foot forward BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ANIMAL THERAPY: Courtney Gerdtz will walk 75 kilometres this month to raise money for Black Dog Institute’s One Foot Forward campaign. Ms Gerdtz has opened up about her mental health struggles in the hope it will encourage others to speak up and seek support. She considers her cat, Kevin, one of her biggest supporters. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

ou can be the proverbial life of any party – outgoing, entertaining and guaranteed to generate a few laughs.

But sometimes, putting a smile on someone else’s face is a lot easier than putting one on your own. Horsham’s Courtney Gerdtz is on a mission this month to spread the message, ‘It’s okay to not be okay’. Black Dog Institute research shows one in five people experience symptoms of mental illness each year, most commonly anxiety and depression. Last month, Ms Gerdtz, 31, put up her hand to say she was one in five, hoping it would encourage others to do the same. She signed up for Black Dog Institute’s ‘One Foot Forward’ campaign, to show people living with mental illness they are not alone. The campaign, which runs throughout October, also raises money to support research into early detection, prevention and treatment for mental health disorders, along with funding vital support services for the most at risk. Ms Gerdtz committed to walking 40 kilometres in the hope of raising $500, but after ticking off the goal in a couple of days, she decided to walk or run an extra five kilometres for every additional $100 raised. “This might be the silliest thing I’ve decided to do, but why not make the extra challenge,” she joked. “I’m actually overwhelmed by the support I have received already. I’ve had friends who have donated say they would love to walk some of the

kilometres with me and my nieces are very excited to do a few walks with me. “Since I first shared my fundraising post on Facebook, I’ve had a couple of friends message me and reach out for a chat, which is why I am doing this. “I want people to know they are not alone. It’s okay to not be okay and there’s no shame in seeking that extra help and support.” Ms Gerdtz said she had battled with mental health issues for almost two years.

“It’s amazing how good you get at hiding it,” she said. “I have had some traumatic events happen in my life that really affected me and I’m also the sort of person who likes to keep my feelings and emotions to myself. “So, when something happened, I would bury it within and not deal with it properly. “There had been so many times that I wanted to talk to those close to me and let them know what was going on and what I was experiencing, but I

didn’t want to be that friend, daughter or sister who was a burden or a worry for others.” Ms Gerdtz has been seeing a counsellor for the past 15 months and said seeking professional help was her saving grace. She said her counsellor was like a mentor, helping her become more aware of her emotions, able to recognise them, talk about them and open up about them. “Being more open with my family and friends is the most important thing

I have learnt – letting people in and having them try to understand, even if they don’t,” she said. “Now, I let them know how I am feeling and what’s going on inside. “I wish I had spoken up sooner, as being honest and talking to those close to me has really helped. “That’s what I want people to get out of this – that it’s okay to ask for help. My counsellor has been amazing and has helped me in so many ways. It wasn’t easy to do and take that next step, but it was what I needed.” Along with support from her counsellor, family and friends, Ms Gerdtz has also benefitted from the companionship of her cat, Kevin. “Kevin is another thing that has had a positive impact on my life,” she said. “He has so much personality and to come home and have someone so excited to see you every day is really nice and such a positive experience.” Ms Gerdtz said although it was daunting to discuss her experience in public forums, she hoped sharing her story would encourage other people to recognise it was okay to seek help. “Even if this helps only one person go that next step, then it’s all worth it,” she said. “I also want to raise some money to keep the important services going.” As of yesterday, Ms Gerdtz had raised $1200 and walked 24 of her 75-kilometre goal.

Volunteers back in action The reopening of a charity shop in Horsham will allow volunteers to push forward with key fundraising efforts that were missed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Craft for a Cause sells home-grown produce, plants and handmade craft and volunteers reopened the doors to the community on Monday. The McLachlan Street shop has been closed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving a dedicated team without work for more than six months. Store manager Jan Morris said she urged Horsham Rural City Council to allow the store to get back up and running. “When I rang our council, they were so supportive to get the shop open again,” she said. “We put it out there and have 25 volunteers willing to get back to work. There are heaps of people really willing to help whenever they can. “Craft for a Cause is all for the wellbeing of people wanting to knit, cook or just be involved.” All proceeds generated through the shop are donated to various charities in the Wimmera, including Horsham’s Christian Emergency Food Centre, Horsham College Chaplaincy committee and Horsham Carols by Candlelight. Mrs Morris said the reopening represented

a crucial step forward to continue with these fundraising efforts. “We have been able to raise more than $7000 a year in the past three years and every cent stays in the community,” she said. She said the store had the additional benefit of bridging a connection between Horsham residents. “We have people who just come in to say hello. They might not buy anything, but it’s nice to just come in and have a chat,” she said. “And for the volunteers working in the shop, they get to develop real friendships. They spend about three hours together and it might be busy sometimes but other times it’s just a good social opportunity.” Mrs Morris said younger volunteers also had an opportunity to build on their experience. “It’s mainly retirees working here, but we do have a few younger girls who say volunteering here will help with future employment,” she said. Mrs Morris said the store had implemented a COVID-safe plan and would follow strict guidelines in line with State Government regulations to ensure the safety of volunteers and customers. – Dylan De Jong

Gary Bird – still at the wicket G

BY DEAN LAWSON

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

ary Bird was on 288 after hitting the winning runs for his beloved Blackheath team.

The last man in, he had finished the game against a Horsham Cricket Association Invitation 11 unbeaten with a mighty six off legendary Dimboola fast bowler Rex MacKenzie. Having been tested by every type of yorker, bouncer and seaming, swinging or spinning delivery on a sticky wicket at Horsham City Oval, he had survived to score the biggest win of his life. Leaning on his bat and mopping his sizeable brow, he was noticeably fatigued. But satisfaction was spreadeagled across his grinning face as it sunk in that he had won a torrid battle. He had presented a ‘chance’ in his grand match-winning innings but the ball had gone to ground and he made the most of his escape. The date was, significantly, November 18, 2023 – two years from now. While the game might be the product of the imagination built on years of a love of Wimmera cricket and the romance and nostalgia of the game in general, Gary, 63, is using the fanciful scenario as incentive in what in truth is the biggest battle of his life. Gary, or ‘Birdie’, has for decades been a larger-than-life Horsham community and sporting personality. A former Horsham mayor and champion of both underdog and superstar, he now has aggressive and inoperable lung cancer. Treatment for another illness involving a heart valve, that he has all but overcome, means his options in fighting the disease are limited. Specialists have given him timelines, depending on how he responds. In typically defiant spirit, he is determined to ‘bat out the innings’ for as long as possible. As someone with a natural gravitation to seeing the funny side of life and always up for cricket-based metaphorical analogy, Birdie was quick to seize the opportunity to declare his approach to the circumstance. He is now sporting a badge with the words ‘9-50 chasin’ 400 but still grinding away’. But he said he was chuffed when his brother-in-law and former cricketing talent David Jakobi presented him with the imaginary scoresheet – complete with every run and delivery. The scoresheet of the mock game shows how Birdie, during his dogged and determined hard-fought knock, put caution to the wind, flaying superstars such as Rupanyup’s Paul Morgan, Jung duo Alan ‘Jock’ McRae and Don Rush, Minyip’s swing sensation Lloyd McLachlan and Horsham City leg-spinner David Hopper to all parts of the ground.

It’s Springtime Springtime!! !! r

Hey Feet, ready for you sandals? Gary Bird Towering aerial shots cleared the boundary 11 times, but Bird also put on a show of elegant stroke play, sending the ball along the ground to the rope on 38 occasions. The game reflects how Bird had nothing to lose when he strode to the crease. His team, set a hefty target of 401, was all but beaten at 9-50. Blackheath legends Tom Byrne, Albert Hinch, Richard Young, Greg Exell, Geoff Hinch and Bob Sleep had all gone cheaply. Gordon Exell, Robert Byrne and Rod Lawson also soon departed, leaving David Jakobi running out of partners. But as Bird walked onto the ground he knew the game wasn’t over until the last wicket fell or the last runs were made. He was determined to have a crack. “Did you see – I was in such good form they threw the ball to Chris Hopper six times and he just walked away because he was scared I was going to get into him,” he said with a trademark hearty chuckle. “It was just great that David’s done this for me. “Look, I can only have minimum treatment because of medications I’m taking, but in all seriousness, I’ve never felt better. “I’m physically as strong as an ox at the moment and there is always hope. While you continue to wake up, you’re still in the fight and every time I now walk past that cricket scoresheet it’s a reminder there is always a chance. “Sure, there’s light at the end of the tunnel and at present it looks like a train, but we’ll try to get rid of that train. Ninetyeight percent of me is fine, two percent isn’t and I like to run with the averages.”

Reasons to live

Birdie spent a lifetime in the construction business after moving with his family from Neuarpurr as a teenager. A steel fabricator by trade, he turned his attention to general construction and then moved into the crane-hire industry, finishing up selling cars. Along the way he married Karen and raised two children, Bec and Sammi. “I now also have four grandchildren so

there are obviously plenty of reasons to live,” he said. His boisterous passion for sport, friends, family and community has led him to support and-or take an influencing lead in a variety of Horsham district pursuits. This ultimately extended to three terms on Horsham Rural City Council, topping the vote on two occasions, and a stint as mayor.

Stories

And he has stories aplenty that reflect on all his experiences. “I played 100 games for Quantong in the footy – 99 in seconds and one in the seniors. In my one senior game I came on as 19th man. I kicked the ball to Keith Wade, he kicked it to Wally Wade who kicked it to Dennis Wade who kicked a goal. It put us up by about 140 points,” he laughed. “When I was a councillor it was the best time of my life. I took a year off work to be mayor and put my hand up for some big things such as Horsham Town Hall, the aquatic centre and freight hub. “In council I won a few rounds and lost a few rounds and now I have a big fight I definitely have to win.” Birdie admitted a lifetime of smoking cigarettes was the primary cause of his illness. “There are many ways to get cancer. I’ve sprayed sheepskins with arsenic, painted cars in sheds, worked on sites with asbestos, but it’s mainly the smokes,” he said. “Thank God people botted a lot off me or I would have smoked a lot more. “Back in the ’70s everyone smoked and smoked everywhere. It wasn’t peer-group pressure, it was society. Now times have changed. You can’t smoke in pubs or other venues and that stops a lot of kids. Hopefully they take notice. “I don’t think I’d change much. You don’t expect to get this thing. I thought I would simply drop dead one day. At the moment I have a good quality of life, great family support and lots of reasons to live. I’m hitting this head-on.”

Kaniva, Goroke silos start

elbourne studio and mural artist David Lee Pereira has the job of transforming a grain silo at Kaniva into one of the next additions to the region’s Silo Art Trail.

Pereira has worked on a range public art projects in Melbourne, Sydney and Berlin. He also painted GrainCorp silos at Merriwa in NSW in 2019. Pereira will incorporate Wimmera plants and animals in his mural, reflecting on the beauty of the landscape and uniqueness of Kaniva. He has a self-professed love of flowers and the baroque style. The Kaniva site includes three concrete silos on which the new artwork will be a prominent feature for the town. A series of silo art projects in West Wimmera Shire has officially started, with western Victorian artist Geoffrey Carran starting work on GrainCorp’s silos at Goroke. West Wimmera Shire Council chief executive David Leahy said it was exciting to see both the Kaniva and Goroke silo art projects come to life. “Residents in these towns will have a front-row seat to the action and will be able to see these fantastic murals be painted,” he said. “We hope these projects will encourage tourists to come and visit our unique part of the world, especially once COVID-19 restrictions have further eased.” COVID-19 restrictions on travel in Victoria delayed the start of work on the murals.

PROJECTS PROGRESS: Left, western Victorian artist Geoffrey Carran applies paint to GrainGorp silos at Goroke, and below, Melbourne artist David Lee Pereira, who has started work on Kaniva’s silo art project. GrainCorp corporate affairs manager Jess Simons said every silo artwork was unique to the town. “We’re excited to be working with David Lee Pereira again and it has been fantastic to work alongside West Wimmera Shire Council, to help bring the community’s vision to life,’ she said. “We have seen first-hand the benefits these visually inspiring community projects bring to regional towns and GrainCorp is pleased to contribute the canvas.” West Wimmera Shire Council is leading this project on behalf of the Kaniva community, which was successful in getting funding through the State Government’s Pick My Project campaign. Kaniva and District Progress Association submitted the Kaniva project to the campaign.

The new artworks will also be integrated with Wimmera Mallee Tourism’s augmented reality app, which profiles other silo-art locations in Victoria. The council has stressed that anyone planning on visiting the site to

see painting in action must abide by all safety measures, including exclusion zones. It has suggested Band Park in Progress Street is the best place to view the Kaniva silos being painted.

VFF calls for nominations Victorian Farmers Federation has announced the formal notice of its 2020 elections and is calling for nominations across a wide range of representative positions. Federation return officer and chief executive Stephen Sheridan said nominations would be open until the close of business on October 22. “VFF is calling for nominations for president and vice-president roles, as well as a number of VFF commodity groups and policy council positions,” he said. “The process will be conducted over the course of the next few months and we will announce the election results on December 10.” The VFF election process will be predominantly online as a result of COVID-19 restrictions on workplaces and public gatherings. “Elections will be undertaken via electronic voting with an option available for members to use a postal ballot if they prefer or do not have the ability to cast an electronic vote,” Mr Sheridan said. “The VFF has engaged a third party, Link Market Services, to conduct the election. Link Market Services is well qualified and regarded, providing similar services to a number of major listed companies and notfor-profit organisations.” The VFF is encouraging all members to ensure their membership contact details, including email addresses, are correct to enable them to participate in the election process. “As an organisation, we exist to be the voice of Victorian farmers, so it is important as many of our members as possible have their say on who they want to represent their views,” Mr Sheridan said. Further details including all open positions, forms, processes and key dates are available on website www.vff.org.au/elections2020.

Generous hearts in fight

orsham and District Relay for Life organisers have confirmed that a regional moneyraising effort this year generated about $49,600 in the fight against cancer.

This was despite the COVID-19 pandemic preventing the relay, originally scheduled for Horsham’s Coughlin Park, from going ahead earlier this year. The relay has prizes for highest money-raising teams and this year Team Marco’s Family and Friends, a perennial award winner, again clinched the prize. Team Marco’s Family and Friends raised more than $20,000. Horsham Primary School, also a consistent high achiever in the event, raised almost $7000 and was again the event’s highest moneyraising school. Committee chair-manager Kingsley Dalgleish praised all teams for their efforts and confirmed the winning teams had won Cancer Council Victoria Research Awards. He said the teams had qualified for the awards by raising more than $5000 each and could nominate a field of cancer research on which to spend the money. “Obviously the relay didn’t go ahead this year after we got notification on the morning of the event. But teams could still bank money for another month afterwards,” he said. This year’s Horsham and District Relay for Life had included 24 teams and usually involves about 700 people.

GREAT EFFORT: Horsham and District Relay for Life’s Tami Lane, left, and Kingsley Dalgleish, right, present Relay For Life awards to Team Marco’s Family and Friends members Jan Collins and Maria Marchesini and Horsham Primary School’s Simon Vivian. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The annual event revolves around team members walking a circuit and taking turns, or relaying, to maintain a walking vigil to continually raise money for efforts to combat cancer. Relay for Life started in 2001, has rarely missed going ahead and has been at various venues including Coughlin Park, Horsham College Community Oval and Dock Lake Reserve.

Mr Dalgleish again thanked all businesses, volunteers and participants involved with the group and its efforts. “Plans for a 2021 relay remain undetermined at this stage but we’re looking at a lot of different options,” he said. Horsham and District Relay for Life committee members are delivering thank-you certificates, personal messages and hand-made purple

? S E T I M R E T

flowers to the 110 businesses that have been part of the event for the past five years. They are also encouraging people across the region to take part in a Paint the Town Purple promotion during October. Mr Dalgleish urged people keen to get involved to email horshamrfl@ cancervic.org.au or make contact via Facebook.

Centre donation Centre for Participation acting chief executive Robbie Millar said he was humbled by a Burke Britton Financial Partners, Futures Generation fund donation of $12,416. Mr Millar said it was even more humbling that one of the centre’s volunteers lodged the successful nomination. “There are so many ways to give back and this pandemic has shown us that,” he said. “Whether it is assisting with medical transport, delivering meals to the vulnerable, helping a young person get a licence, or even nominating your favourite charity for a donation, anyone can make a difference and strengthen their community.” Peter Burke from Burke Britton Financial Partners said having the opportunity to select worthy charitable organisations to receive significant financial donations had been one of the most exciting developments for the team. He said the Burke Britton Financial Partners Futures Generation, now in its third year, had been able to ‘spread the love’ in 2020, with 10 charities each receiving $12,000 to $13,000. He said this was a way to support organisations that represented their diverse client base. The opportunity is made available through purchasing Futures Generation shares, which makes a donation of one percent instead of retaining a management fee. “We are of the view that if all of us – individuals, business and government – make a tangible gesture of support, then the collective resources can result in significant positive change for the better,” Mr Burke said. “Supporting the work the Centre for Participation does to improve access to services, connectivity, driving licence support, employment opportunities and meals through Laneway Café has been significantly important in raising the quality of life for many young and older people in the Wimmera community.” Mr Millar said the donation would help the organisation’s mission to provide programs that responded to needs in the region, empower people of all ages to participate, and shape a strong, vibrant community.

KNOWLEDGE BOOST: Amcal Pharmacy Horsham assistant Paris Barber, left, with pharmacist and owner Carlie Streeter. Picture: DYLAN DE JONG

Opportunity to upskill assistants R

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ural and regional Victoria will be the focus of a State Government plan to upskill pharmacy assistants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pharmacy assistants across the Wimmera and Mallee can take part in nationally accredited training free of charge to ensure their skills are up to date, as part of a $475,000 State Government injection. Amcal Pharmacy Horsham assistant Paris Barber is among 50 assistants across the state who will be funded to complete a certificate III or IV in community pharmacy and community pharmacy dispensary. “I started work at 15 as a causal and went fulltime when I finished school,” Ms Barber said. “In terms of broadening my knowledge within the pharmacy community, this will help me provide the best advice for our customers.” Pharmacist and owner Carlie Streeter said the ability to upskill assistants was particularly crucial during the pandemic. “It’s really important our pharmacy assistants are up to date with their knowledge so they can provide up-to-date advice for our customers, particularly in challenging times like this while

we’re on the frontline in the healthcare sector,” she said. “It can be difficult accessing training in the country too, so anything that makes it easier is always appreciated.” Research has shown the training is in demand in Grampians, Gippsland, Hume and Loddon-Mallee regions. There are about 90 regional communities in Victoria with only one pharmacy. Training, Skills and Higher Education minister Gayle Tierney said the funding would have an emphasis on people working in isolated regional and rural pharmacies. She said the training would help the assistants to continue providing their ‘crucial services’ and the best advice to customers. “Community pharmacies are more essential than ever, particularly in regional and rural areas, and this will help ensure their staff have the latest skills they need to continue to serve those communities during the pandemic,” she said. “We’re investing in this training to make sure all Victorians, regardless of where they live, have access to expert advice from pharmacy workers.” Assistants at Nhill, Horsham and Ararat will also benefit from the State Government funding.

Pandemic ‘words’ sought for exhibit The organiser of an exhibition featuring experiences of Victorians during the coronavirus pandemic is seeking community submissions from across the state, including the Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians. Josh Maher of Castlemaine is developing the 2020words project, which explores people’s thoughts, stories and observations – whether happy, sad, strange, surprising or funny. He said the submission could reflect a moment or a memory, something that was overheard or seen, felt or thought. It could be a poem or prose, a single sentence or a single word. He added the project was designed to capture what had been a unique moment in time and recognise the state’s healthcare workers. Mr Maher said a selection of the best pieces would be on exhibition in the new year with the aim of raising money for a tribute to the critical efforts of people working on the pandemic’s frontline. Public votes will select the exhibition’s most striking piece. “Coronavirus has turned our world upside down,” Mr Maher said. “2020words is a way to remember this unprecedented year – the good and the bad, the profound and the mundane, the toilet-paper and the masks. “We’ve seen so much more than the spread and impact of the virus itself. There’s been selflessness and selfishness, generosity and humour, anger and sadness, and a bit of ‘crazy’. Page

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

“There’s been great leadership and regrettable decisions, sourdough bake-offs and Zoom calls. I hope this project creates something of a time capsule and provides a small creative and cathartic release for us all – especially those still stuck at home.” Mr Maher has a strong connection with western Victoria and the Wimmera through his work and encouraged people from across the region to be part of the project. “The pandemic has affected people differently and the Wimmera community is as big a part of any of this,” he said. “Obviously circumstances will determine how this exhibition can be presented and there is much to work out. But I would love for it to be physically open to the public and on show or perhaps even eventually be able to tour across the state. But it might be restricted in the short term to an online exhibition. It will obviously depend on the pandemic situation and restrictions in the new year. “In a year to forget, let’s leave some words to remember.” Mr Maher said people could send contributions of no more than 50 words to 2020words. contact@gmail.com, with a short explanation of the submission and contact details. He said people could visit website www. 2020words.com for more information. Wednesday, October 7, 2020

Study ‘crunching’ hydrogen outlook

n analysis by university engineers has provided further insight into the potential of regional areas including the Wimmera-Mallee, in the development of a green-hydrogen fuel industry.

University of NSW engineers, in ‘crunching the numbers’ on green-hydrogen production costs, have found Australia in a prime position to take advantage of developments. In a paper published in Cell Reports Physical Science, research authors showed how different factors affected the cost of producing green hydrogen by electrolysis using a dedicated solar system without using additional power from the electricity grid. Without using grid electricity, predominantly generated by fossil fuel, the system produces hydrogen with nearly zero emissions. Being free of the grid also means such systems could operate in remote locations with extensive, year-long exposure to sunlight. Wimmera and southern Mallee leaders announced in January they were keen to explore zero-emission hydrogen generation based on wind and solar power in the region. Green hydrogen is created by electrolysis of water via electricity created from an environmentally benign source such as a wind or solar generator. The Federal Government has established a $300-million Advancing Hydrogen Fund to finance projects focused on growing a ‘clean, innovative and competitive’ hydrogen industry in Australia. The UNSW engineering research examined a range of parameters that could affect the final price of green-hydrogen energy, including the cost of electrolyser and solar photovoltaic systems, electrolyser efficiency, available sunlight

and the size of the installations. Using thousands of different calculations, the researchers found the cost of green hydrogen ranged from $4.04 to $6.53. They said it was possible to get a lower cost with proposed scenarios approaching $3.50, at which point green hydrogen becomes competitive with fossil-fuel production. Undergraduate Jonathon Yates built a system and cost-simulation model using weather data. “We then saw how this would change the economics in different locations around the world where solar-powered electrolysis is being considered,” he said. “We knew each location that would install such a system would be different – requiring different sizes and having to wear different costs of components. Combining these with weather variations means that some locations will have lower cost potential than others, which can indicate an export opportunity.” Mr Yates pointed to Japan as an example of somewhere that did not have a great solar resource and system size might be limited. “So there is potentially a significant cost difference when compared with the spacious regions of Australia,” he said. Mr Yates said it was only a matter of time before green hydrogen became more economical than hydrogen produced from fossil fuel. Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said in May the Wimmera, a central hub where heavy vehicles crisscrossed via a variety of transport routes, was perfectly placed for development. “The key for us, in collaboration with the State Government, is to pinpoint opportunities so we can paint a clear picture of these opportunities to take to the Federal Government,” he said.

Money for science showcase Member for Wannon Dan Tehan has encouraged organisations and individuals in western Victoria to apply for National Science Week event funding. Mr Tehan said preparations for next year’s annual festival of science were underway, with

grants of up to $20,000 available for people who were ready to inspire Australia’s next generation of big-picture thinkers. “The idea is to make science fun and accessible to everyone and I urge qualified people with good ideas to put them forward for grants,” he said.

National Science Week will run from August 14 to 22 and is Australia’s largest festival. Applications for 2021 National Science Week grants close on October 28. Information about applying and guidelines are online at www.business.gov.au/nswkg.

Spring markets BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera residents and visitors made the most of an opportunity to browse, buy and socialise as the region hosted its first spring markets for the year.

READY FOR PLANTING: Pauline Kennedy and Chris Whitcher with dog Ruby buy up at Haven Market.

Thousands of people welcomed an easing of COVID-19 restrictions to attend markets at Haven on Saturday and Dimboola on Sunday. Dimboola Store owners John and Alex O’Halloran celebrated a successful launch of their Jellex Market – named for a 1950s’ Jellex Jelly Crystals mural at the site – with more than 2000 people through the gates. Mr O’Halloran said the inaugural boutique artisan market was ‘massive’. “The food stalls all sold out. The hotjam donut lady started selling at 9am and was sold out by 11am,” he said. “I was taking down contact details at the gate and we had people from Kaniva, Horsham, Murtoa – they came from everywhere. “We had a lot of young families, groups of friends using the market as a venue to catch up and there were also a lot of long-term locals. “Some of them have mobility issues and use scooters or walkers, but because of the flat ground, it was accessible to everyone.

“Many of the locals commented how amazed they were by the amount of people in the town. They likened it to the amount of people around on grandfinal day, after the football game.” Mr O’Halloran said people lined up to enter the market square, with separate entry and exit points helping ensure appropriate physical distancing. “It’s a boutique market so it’s not a market you’re going to spend five hours at,” he said. “It’s the kind of market you come to, see what you want to see, buy what you want to buy, have a chat and move on to other areas. “The police came and were extremely happy with the crowd’s behaviour and social distancing.” Dimboola police officer, First Constable Georgie Schirmer, told The Weekly Advertiser on Sunday she was impressed by the day’s proceedings. “The local police are really happy with how everyone is sticking to the rules and regulations,” she said. “The market organisers have been fantastic with how they’ve set it up and how they’re regulating it. We couldn’t be happier with the behaviour – everyone is complying well.” Mr O’Halloran said the event provided a boost for the town in general, with marketgoers also patronising other businesses throughout Dimboola.

“At Dimboola Store, we had our biggest day of trade ever,” he said. “There was just a good feeling around. The stallholders all said they had a wonderful day and it has given me the drive to organise another one.” The O’Hallorans have pencilled in the next Jellex Market for November 1 and have invited potential stallholders to put in an expression of interest. “All the stallholders we had know they need to put in an expression of interest to attend the next one,” Mr O’Halloran said. “This allows us to maintain a range of interests and to share opportunities around. We will have limited stalls, but they will be quality ones.” People can message Dimboola Store’s Facebook page for information.

Haven popular

Haven Market committee members are also working towards a November event after a busy day of trading on Saturday. Organisers hosted a market in July amid an easing of COVID-19 restrictions but had held off on running further events due to tighter regulations. Sunny conditions and an opportunity for socialisation bought the Horsham and wider community out in force, with hordes of people descending on Haven Recreation Reserve.

prove a hit About 60 stallholders sold their wares at the market and were greeted by plenty of shoppers enjoying a return to ‘some normalilty’. Committee member Sue Exell said Saturday’s Haven Market was its biggest to date. “If we weren’t in COVID times, I would have been absolutely thrilled,” she said. “There were way more people than I thought there ever would be and that created a few issues, such as we had to try to keep people moving and reminding them to keep their distance. “We are just a small committee running small events, so even though we had done a lot of planning, we will need more manpower to run another one.” Mrs Exell said the committee had sought feedback from police officers on site and would meet with Horsham Rural City Council staff to discuss options ahead of the November market. “The police were really good and gave us some ideas for next time,” she said. “We’d love to do another market as long as we can keep everyone safe. It was absolutely wonderful to see so many people out and about enjoying the day. “There were a lot of young families and so many smiles on people’s faces. That part was really lovely. “It was also wonderful for the stallholders who have been looking for an opportunity to sell their produce, but haven’t been able to. “There were a lot of positives – now we just need to look at how we can make it better.”

The next Haven Market is scheduled for November 7. Mrs Exell said while planning was underway, the event would depend on COVID-19 restrictions and whether the council believed it was safe to go ahead. “Looking forward, if we can do the November market we will look at better parking and getting cars off the road, more food and we will look to open up some more space,” she said. “Everyone has given us a lot to think about and we are keen to do what we can to continue our markets but also make sure they are safe for everyone involved.”

New focus for land group BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera Landcare group with a rich history in the region has embarked on a new era with a focus on reintroducing a lost species.

New landholders to the region are joining long-standing Black Range Land Management Group committee members Neil and Wendy Marriott to start a new phase of Landcare work. A key project is reintroducing southern brown bandicoot populations into the range – a nationally threatened species due to predation and habitat loss and degradation. The group is carrying out rabbit control and invasive-weed spraying work on group members’ landholdings with an aim to increase the biodiversity and environmental health of the water-catchment area. Mick Douglas, who moved to Black Range near Stawell in 2018 from Melbourne, and Noelene Gration, who has been living in the range for three years since moving from Daylesford, are taking on president and secretary roles. Mr Douglas said the first steps to reintroducing the threatened species involved establishing vermin-proof fenced areas to breed bandicoot populations that had long been lost from the area. “We’re looking at increasing the amount of vermin-proofed fenced areas in the Black Range so the bandicoots can re-adapt to the environment and climate conditions here,” he said. “There needs to be a reduction of invasive predator species, such as

REVITALISE: Black Range Land Management Group president Mick Douglas and secretary Noelene Gration inspect rabbit holes at Great Western. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER foxes, more broadly throughout the range in order for it to viable in the future for threatened species like bandicoots to be reintroduced.” Group members are planning a tour of Victoria’s largest feral predator-free ecosystem at Mt Rothwell conservation reserve to learn about breeding programs involving bandicoots and other endangered species. The group is also encouraging more landholders to be involved in their recovery efforts. “An advantage of having more landholders is we’re able to access grant funds that go towards supporting the environmental health of the water catchment systems,” Mr Douglas said.

“We have rabbit control and invasive weed spraying happening on group members’ landholdings – that’s the advantage of landholders being involved. The more collective effort there is, that makes it easier to manage invasive species.”

Regeneration

The group formed in the 1990s as one of the earliest communities in the Landcare movement and has regenerated and restored many hectares of previously bare landscape. “The group has been going for a long time – it’s one of the oldest community groups in the Landcare movement,” Mr Douglas said. “Neil and Wendy have been there since the beginning and are highly

knowledgeable on all matters flora and fauna and the history of the place.” Mr Douglas said he was excited to continue the group’s ‘crucial’ work. “I wanted to be more connected to this fascinating landscape and its habitat and ecology. I wanted to learn alongside others about how to care for country,” he said. “There are a few new landholders in the region, including myself. Now there’s a new wave of people in the area who are keen to pick up the mantle and carry on the great Landcare work.” The group is also planning knowledge exchange and plant identification walks, community plant-outs, and a series of working bees.

Plan to rebuild CFA brigades Member for Ripon Louise Staley and Victorian Opposition emergency services spokesman Nick Wakeling have launched online consultation with Country Fire Authority brigade members and volunteers. The consultation is based on Coalition plans to rebuild the fire-fighting organisation if it wins power at the next state election. The Plan to Rebuild the CFA would introduce legislation to restore the CFA’s power to select, recruit and manage its own staff and wear the CFA uniform. Ms Staley said the legislation would enhance the CFA’s powers and responsibilities for the provision of fire services in CFA regions. “The Michael O’Brien-led Victorian Liberal team will be consulting with Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria, CFA brigades and volunteers across Victoria to identify the essential powers, people and resources that are needed to rebuild and restore the CFA,” she said. Ms Staley said CFA volunteers were being asked to provide their direct input on how to best rebuild the CFA and could do so now via website www.rebuildthecfa.com.au/volunteer. She said ‘local’ in-person consultations would start when it was safe. “Community members wishing to show their support for their local CFA volunteers are also being asked to sign the petition at www. rebuildthecfa.com.au,” she said. “The Liberals believe the Andrews government has undermined the CFA as an independent, volunteer-based fire-fighting service with the new union-led organisation, Fire Rescue Victoria. We are deeply concerned that over recent years thousands of CFA volunteers have left the service since Labor started this war against the CFA. Local lives, homes and businesses are at stake if we let our local CFA community crumble apart. “I’m also asking community members to stand with our local CFA volunteers and show their support by signing a petition.”

More important as you get older S

o, you are seriously starting to think about your retirement.

The kids are finally more independent, the mortgage is less than it was, and the super is more than it was. You look at your monthly bank statements and one particular debit is always there – the insurance premium. You have been paying it diligently for years now, maybe decades. But, for what? You’ve not claimed and ‘gained’ anything so far. At this stage and age, it might be very tempting to cancel your policies and save a few dollars. Before you do, just consider what you could be losing in a future that’s not yet written. It could be hundreds of thousands of dollars. More to the point it could be your home, your lifestyle, or your health – the very thing you are hoping to protect. Statistically you are more likely to claim the older you get. Look at these figures: Type of cover – Income protection: Average age people cancel policy, 45; average age people make a claim, 46. Total and permanent disability: 49, 48. Trauma insurance: 44, 49. People often do not realise an insurance policy is not an ‘all or nothing’ concept and there are options available. For example, as you get older and your debts and commitments reduce, so might the level of cover you require. When cover is reduced, so is the premium. Take care though, once a policy is in place it’s easy to reduce the cover but much harder

to increase the amount, particularly as you get older. It often only takes a phone call to lower the amount but countless medical tests to increase it or apply again. Before you rush off and reduce your cover, it’s important to tailor the amount of cover to your potentially changing circumstances, and this is where your financial planner can help. There are many other options available including requesting a temporary freeze on the premiums; paying annually instead of monthly; moving your cover into your super fund – this is not applicable to all insurance however; or given that your adult children will usually be the ones who will eventually benefit, ask them to share the cost of the premiums. The basic idea of insurance is not to put you in a better position than you were – it’s there to protect what you have. Regardless of what age you are, think twice about cancelling insurance completely. There are always other options available. Ask your financial adviser for guidance before you make any decisions. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice

Campaign to stimulate economy A council campaign encouraging residents to support Yarriambiack businesses aims to stimulate economic recovery out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yarriambiack Shire Council leaders launched the organisation’s ‘I am Yarriambiack’ campaign late last month to encourage its residents to buy from businesses in the municipality. The campaign aims to encourage residents to share photos of purchases they have made from Yarriambiack Shire businesses for the chance to win $1000. To be in the draw for the prize, residents can take a photo of themselves with their purchase from a Yarriambiack business and share the image to Facebook or Instagram while using

the hashtag #yarriambiack. Businesses can also get involved by sharing customer photos to go in the draw to win an advertising package valued at $500. Council chief executive Jessie Holmes said the pandemic had been a challenging time for many Yarriambiack businesses. “We are fortunate enough to have a wide range of local businesses in Yarriambiack Shire, but they need support more than ever as we move into the recovery phase of the coronavirus pandemic,” she said. “The benefits of shopping locally are far-reaching throughout the community. “By spending your money at local businesses, you’re supporting the employment of local peo-

ple, the sponsors of your local sporting club and contributing to the prosperity of your town. “Your purchase at a small business has a significant impact on a local business and your money stays local.” Residents can look out for new ‘I am Yarriambiack’ stickers and posters in windows of participating businesses. Ms Holmes encouraged businesses leaders to contact Yarriambiack Shire Council to sign up to the ‘I am Yarriambiack’ campaign. People can call the council on 5398 0100 or email info@ yarriambiack.vic.gov.au for more information.

Going green Audi debuts new PHEV Sportback 40 SFSIe and tells of more to come

udi has officially debuted the first hybrid variant of its revamped A3 line-up with the A3 Sportback 40 TFSIe, however it is not clear yet whether the compact PHEV will make it to Australian shores.

This is only the second time Audi has offered a properly electrified drivetrain on its C-segment contender, the first coming in the form of the A3 Sportback e-tron, which lobbed here back in 2015. Comprising a 110kW/250Nm turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and an 80kW/330Nm electric motor, the A3 Sportback 40 TFSIe’s powertrain generates a combined

150kW/350Nm and is good for a 7.6-second dash from 0-100kmh. The top speed meanwhile is pegged at 227kmh; however the name of the game here is fuel economy, with the frugal little A3 PHEV sipping between 1.4 and 1.5 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres on the NEDC cycle. Transmission duties are taken care of by a six-speed automatic transmission which sends all of the power and torque exclusively to the front wheels while CO2 emissions are pegged at between 30 and 34 grams a kilometre. Thanks to its 13kWh battery, Audi claims the A3 Sportback 40 TFSIe is capable of covering up to 78km – NEDC cycle, 67km on WLTP – purely on electric power, and can reach

140kmh. To make the most of the powertrain’s capabilities, two separate sub-modes are contained within the hybrid drive mode; one to stabilise and maintain battery charge and one to restore as much energy as possible. One particular example of this energy recovery is the regenerative braking system, which provides 0.3g of braking force, enough according to Audi to cover ‘the vast majority of all brake applications in everyday customer driving’. When the time comes to recharge the battery, Audi claims a full charge from empty can be completed in about four hours when hooked up to a 230volt socket, with a maximum charging power of 2.9kW.

Under the skin, the whole package rides on independent suspension all round and rolls on unique 16-inch alloy wheels. Visually, the A3 Sportback 40 TFSIe resembles the rest of the A3 line-up, measuring in at 4.34m long with 280 litres of boot space on offer, a figure which expands to 1100L with the rear seats folded flat. The interior itself is also classic A3 in its layout but boasts a few exclusive touches including seat upholstery made of recycled plastic bottles as well as hybrid-specific functions and displays within the instrument cluster – or optional Audi virtual cockpit – and 10.1-inch infotainment system. While it is not clear yet if the com-

pact PHEV will make it Down Under, standard global equipment includes smartphone mirroring, integrated WiFi hotspot, Audi connect online services, LED headlights, leather multifunction steering wheel and twozone automatic air-conditioning. Standard safety kit meanwhile encompasses Audi pre-sense front, lane departure warning, turn assist and swerve assist. According to Audi, the Sportback 40 TFSIe is the first of two PHEV variants planned for the A3, with the second set to be a more powerful sports-oriented model brandishing not only more firepower, but more visual menace as well. – Callum Hunter

Toyota lobs updated flagships

nly a month or so after launching the majority of its facelifted and upgraded HiLux range, Toyota Australia has detailed its range-topping Rogue and Rugged X variants, both of which score the same mechanical upgrades as the rest of the line-up along with a considerable price increase.

Now priced from $68,990 plus onroad costs, the new lifestyle-oriented Rogue has risen $6500 while the heavy-duty Rugged X has risen $7530 to $69,990, comfortably making them the most expensive variants by a margin of more than $6000. Due to arrive in showrooms in midto-late November, the top-tier duo has been given a 20kW/50Nm power bump courtesy of a new water-cooled, heavy-duty ball-bearing turbocharger with a newly developed variable nozzle vane mechanism and a range of cooling, rigidity and efficiency improvements. The upgrades bring peak power and torque up to the same 150kW/500Nm as the other 4x4 variants while fuel economy is rated at 8.4 litres per 100km. The same resulting 3500kg towing capacity is also shared between the two, as is the recalibrated sixspeed automatic transmission, retuned suspension, updated power-steering pump and revised chassis mounts. In a quest to better distinguish the

NEW MODELS: Toyota is introducing upgraded versions of its range-topping Rogue and Rugged X variants. Rogue and Rugged X from their mainstream stablemates, designers have upped the styling ante with the former scoring a new blackened front end and matching black body cladding as well as darkened LED headlight internals and unique 18-inch wheels. The Rogue can also be spotted by its flush-sitting resin sports bar, newly developed power roller cover and bold

Rogue tub decals. In terms of standard equipment, both the Rogue and Rugged X draw on the SR5 as their donor vehicle and as such share much of the same standard spec, including an 8.0inch infotainment display with physical controls, Apple CarPlay-Android Auto, voice recognition, nine-speaker JBL sound system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, sat-nav, DAB+ digi-

tal radio, Bluetooth, leather upholstery and heated front seats with eight-way power-adjustment for the driver. One feature exclusive to the Rogue however is the ‘marine-grade’ carpet tub liner. The Rugged X meanwhile lives up to its name and brandishes a far more extreme appearance headlined by its black steel bumper and reversible snorkel.

Designed to be the pinnacle of HiLux off-road capabilities – and no doubt take the fight to the Ford Ranger Raptor and soon to be released FX4 Max – the Rugged X is fitted with a spate of unique off-road specific accessories, not least the integrated front LED light bar. Under the skin, the Rugged X rides on heavy-duty front springs with the tyres wrapped around a set of unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Other off-road specific features include red recovery points front and rear, heavy-duty rock rails, sports bar with recreational attachment points, moulded tub tray with tailgate protection and a heavy-duty rear bumper with integrated step. As with the rest of the Hilux 4x4 range, the Rogue and Rugged X come as standard with the Toyota Safety Sense suite containing a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking as well as pedestrian – all hours – and cyclist – daylight – detection. Other features include active cruise control, lane-departure alert with steering assist, anti-skid brakes, stability and traction control, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, trailer sway control and downhill assist control. So far this year ending August, Toyota has notched up 20,263 HiLux 4x4 sales, accounting for 21.1 percent of the local off-road ute market. – Callum Hunter

Mitsubishi moves to permanent 10-year warranty

itsubishi Motors Australia Limited has announced an expansion of its Diamond Advantage vehicle ownership program, headlined by the move to a 10year, 200,000-kilometre warranty for all new vehicles serviced at Mitsubishi dealerships.

Available to private buyers and small businesses purchasing less than five vehicles, Mitsubishi’s new 10year assurance period sees it take the crown as the longest warranty of all mainstream Australian brands, however it drops to a five-year, 100,000km

period if the car is serviced outside Mitsubishi’s service network. While the 10-year period outstrips all comers, the 200,000km distance falls behind others who offer an unlimited-kilometre warranty, generally paired with a three-to-seven-year time period. Reverting to a five-year, 100,000km warranty if not serviced at an MMAL dealer actually reduces the term of some MMAL models, which have in recent years been offered with a seven-year, 150,000km assurance period. The 10-year warranty will be re-

tained when sold to a new owner, provided services continue at a Mitsubishi dealer. Batteries underpinning the Outlander PHEV and forthcoming Eclipse Cross PHEV will be subject to a separate eight-year, 160,000km warranty. Along with the warranty announcement, MMAL will also permanently offer a 10-year, 150,000km cappedprice servicing schedule on all models, with each yearly-15,000km service to cost no more than $999 regardless of vehicle. This is a significant step up from the previous three-year capped-

price servicing arrangement offered by MMAL, and like the warranty, covers every vehicle ranging from the Mirage hatch to the Triton pick-up and Express van. Four years of roadside assistance also forms part of the new Diamond Advantage package, which again, is dependent on the vehicle being serviced through MMAL’s network. MMAL marketing and operations director Rob Nazzari said the new warranty would provide owners with greater choice. “This new 10-year extended war-

ranty puts owners in control. Every Mitsubishi already has at least a fiveyear warranty,” he said. “Now, with our 10-year Diamond Advantage program, owners who complete their scheduled capped-price services with an authorised Mitsubishi dealer will enjoy a 10-year warranty, 10-year capped price servicing and up to four years of roadside assistance.” To the end of August, MMAL has sold a combined 37,778 vehicles, down 32.0 percent on the 55,516 sold to the same point last year. – Robbie Wallis

Christian Devotions

Looking – for the lost

Lost your wallet? Temporarily mislaid your car keys? Whatever happened to the other sock in the pair? Do you ever wonder how much time you spend time looking for something? Some of us spend more time than others, but most of us spend a lot of time looking for things that are important to us. God does this, too – God spends time looking for the lost. God’s Son, Jesus hung out with those who were lost - people at the time like tax collectors and sinners. The religious leaders of the day didn’t like it and complained about it, saying things like, “He welcomes sinners and eats with them.” Here is a story Jesus told about how much those who are ‘lost’, are to God : “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent.” If you are feeling lost, look to God, who is looking for you.

Horsham cricket start confirmed H

orsham Cricket Association’s 2020-21 senior season will officially start on November 7.

An association draw shows A, B and C grade competitions will be limited to oneday and T20 games, with A and B grades having 15 rounds and C Grade, 13. The flagship A Grade competition includes West Wimmera, Homers, Rupanyup-Minyip, Horsham Saints, Noradjuha-Toolondo, Jung Tigers and Laharum. B Grade includes Jung Tigers, Horsham Saints, Blackheath-Dimboola, Homers, Colts, Lubeck-Murtoa and Rupanyup-Minyip. C Grade is made up of Colts, West Wimmera, Lubeck-Murtoa, Laharum, Noradjuha-Toolondo, Horsham Saints and Quantong. Finals will start on March 13 next year and finish with a grand final starting on March 21. An under-16.5s Saturday morning competition starts on October 31 and includes Homers, Dunmunkle Renegades, Mountain Ants, Horsham Saints and West Wimmera. Under-12s Saturday morning competition also starts on October 31 and includes 12 teams. An under-14 league, with 11 teams, will play on Friday nights from October 30.

Surprise Baby leading chance The Wimmera’s Melbourne Cup hopeful Surprise Baby might go straight into the time-honoured handicap without another leadup run. Surprise Baby remains among the leading contenders for the 2020 Melbourne Cup, despite finishing ninth in a key race at the weekend. Horsham trainer Paul Preusker has the options of starting Surprise Baby in the Cox Plate on October 24 or taking a fresh approach to the Melbourne Cup on November 3. Preusker’s partner and stable spokeswoman Holly McKechnie said the trainer and Surprise Baby’s owners were in no rush to decide the next step for the lightly raced gelding. “I’m not sure whether Paul

A and B grade competitions, which break for Christmas after one-day fixtures on December 19, resume from January 16 and play in a series of four T20 games up to February 6. C Grade will have three T20 games, on December 19, January 30 and February 6.

New laws

Association board members are also proposing a series of law changes. Among them is a law to determine winners if officials have to abandon a season. An association ruling to not award premierships at the end of the last home and away season as COVID-19 took hold caused considerable debate and anxiety. The issue led to the association’s 2019-20 management board resigning. New officials are now in place. The proposed rule reads: ‘If the season is abandoned for any reason and at least 75 percent of the scheduled rounds have been completed, the team on top of the ladder in each grade at the time of abandonment shall be awarded the premiership. If less than 75 percent of the season is completed, no premierships will be awarded’. The association is still working through playing details surrounding COVID-19.

will pop another run in before the Cup, he was pretty unlucky the other day,” McKechnie said. Surprise Baby never saw clear running in Saturday’s Turnbull Stakes at Flemington, finishing ninth in a blanket finish behind star mare Verry Elleegent. The Turnbull was run over 2000 metres, and Surprise Baby is expected to thrive over the extra 1200 metres in the Melbourne Cup. “He has done well since the Turnbull run and so he should, he didn’t really get a gutbuster or anything,” McKechnie said. She said Surprise Baby had been kept fresh throughout the spring and was already a proven performer over the two-mile distance of the Cup. Surprise Baby won the 2019

Adelaide Cup over 3200m at just its fifth race start and was luckless in the 2019 Melbourne Cup behind Vow And Declare. Leading jockey Craig Williams, who has been travelling to Horsham to ride Surprise Baby in trackwork, said the gelding’s performance in the Turnbull Stakes should do nothing to dampen the enthusiasm for a Cup tilt. “I was happy… he went well enough and he’ll take a lot out of that. He will look better next time too,” Williams said after the race. Surprise Baby is listed as a $10 chance to clinch the Melbourne Cup in latest betting markets. – Andrew Dowdell

Williamson re-signs with Carlton Ararat footballer Tom Williamson has re-signed with AFL outfit Carlton for at least the next two seasons. Williamson, 21, cemented his place in the Blues’ back six this year and will remain at the club until after the 2022 season. Carlton selected the talented backman with pick 61 in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft.

He played 15 games in his debut season, but only two games in the next two years following injury. Carlton head of list management Nick Austin said Williamson’s ability to rise above the challenge, earn his spot back in the side and feature in 15 games in 2020 was a testament to his character. He said Blues fans would enjoy

seeing the young gun continue to get better in the coming years. “Tom has been tested mentally and physically in his first four seasons at AFL level and to come out the other side and produce the season he did, after just about two years out of the game, was very impressive,” he said.

Golf pro keen to start

orsham Golf Club professional Cameron Howell will officially start with the club on Monday.

Howell has previously worked at Royal Adelaide Golf Club as club professional, running his own business for the past 21 years. Horsham club president Leo Delahunty said he was delighted to confirm Howell’s start date. “I look forward to his positive input and I am sure he will get the terrific support from our members and the broader community,” he said. Howell has worked with many of Australia’s leading players and earned a reputation as one of the nation’s top golf coaches. Following a successful amateur

career he turned professional and became a PGA member in 1987. He played full time on the Australasian Tour until 1997, which included winning the Victorian PGA Matchplay championship at Woodlands GC. He also has had top-10 finishes in the Australian Open, Australian PGA, Australian Players Championship and New Zealand Open. He has won more than 60 pro-am tournaments and set several course records. “I am extremely excited to be joining the team at Horsham Golf Club – a renowned Australian country course, which I have been fortunate enough to play numerous times in pro-ams” Howell said. “I bring over 30 years of golf and coaching experience with me to Hor-

sham and I am passionate about providing the very best coaching experiences possible – engaging, educating and inspiring my students to enhance their performance and enjoy their golf more.” Howell and his wife Anne have made the shift to be closer to family in Melbourne as their son Benjamin approaches high-school age. Mr Delahunty said Howell’s arrival in Horsham would signal the beginning of a new era of golf merchandising, coaching and development of Horsham’s Golf Academy and junior programs. Howell will be available to teach in 30-minute increments and people can call the club’s pro-shop on 5382 3312 to make a booking or for information on times and pricing.

Juniors return to Dimboola netball court Wimmera youth will return to the netball court at Dimboola Recreation Reserve tomorrow afternoon. Dimboola Store is sponsoring a spring social competition for youth aged 18 or younger. The competition, part of Netball Victoria’s Rock Up Netball program, will be on Thursdays from 4.30pm. This year’s winter junior and senior netball competitions were cancelled throughout the Wimmera-Mallee because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Dimboola Store owner John O’Halloran said he looked forward to the new competition getting underway in the town. “We’ve already had a lot of expressions of interest and we have four teams entered,” he said. “People are keen to get out and do some exercise and play social netball. “We are still taking entries and there is also opportunity for individuals to enter and be put into teams.” The competition is mixed, with

a maximum of three boys a side. Mr O’Halloran said the competition would occur in a COVID-safe environment, with strict protocols about equipment, attendance and physical distancing. He said one parent could attend with their child. People can register online at www. rockupnetball.com.au/play/locations/ north/Dimboola or email Mr O’Halloran at johngohalloran@bigpond. com.au for more information.

DUSTING OFF: Edenhope’s Braydan Giles in action at the weekend. Picture: FIONA BAXTER

Full throttle at Edenhope Motocross enthusiasts across western Victoria returned to recreational riding at Edenhope’s endurance track at the weekend. Riders knocked the dust of their motorcycles to have a burn on Edenhope Motorcycle Club’s seven-kilometre sand endurance track for a ride day that took place without spectators. Club president Matt Oliver said riders were excited to get back into action after events were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “They were all very keen and we had a good turnout. We had about 40 entries,” he said. “We couldn’t get anyone from South Australia, but we still got some people

from Hamilton, Casterton and even one guy from Warrnambool and one from Portland. “Everyone gave us good feedback. We spent the full day on Saturday getting the track ready for the event after it hadn’t been used since October last year.” The club is also in the final stages of readying its 1.7-kilometre pro-level track that was built earlier this year. Mr Oliver said he was hoping the track would be operational by the end of the year. The club is also planning to host another ride day for club members within a month. – Dylan De Jong
