The wait continues W

immera-Mallee communities are among regional Victorians still awaiting word on any easing or modification of lockdown restrictions beyond suburban Melbourne.

Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed yesterday that a decision involving most of regional Victoria, based on COVID-19 outbreak epidemiology, was likely sometime this week. But Mr Andrews also reaffirmed that an easing of lockdown restrictions in the regions would fall short of a ‘snapback’ to usual circumstances or open the door for any sort of ‘freedom day’.

He said any decisions about regional Victorian restrictions would come out of further meetings. “It will be later on this week, I’m not quite certain. I want to confirm though that no decision’s been made. Our form has been that when we’ve made a decision we’ll announce it very soon thereafter,” he said. “We’re working towards being able to lift the lockdown, but there will still be restrictions in country Victoria and we’ll make those announcements as soon as we can. “Once you lift a lockdown there’s a whole lot of businesses that can reopen, but there will be limitations. The last thing you want is virus spreading

and then having to go back into lockdown.” While uncertainty remains about what this means for community sport, the delay means organisations are unlikely to have any option but to cancel another weekend of finals activities. Mr Andrews said when regional Victoria opened further it would provide an ideal opportunity for state ‘vaccinated economy trials’ that might involve technical experiments involving outdoor dining. “If and when we get regional Victoria open again that’s the perfect place for that trial work,” he said. Mr Andrews generally spoke of a need for more people to take up op-

portunities to get doses of readily available AstraZeneca vaccines and pushing towards efforts to reach an 80 percent vaccination level across the state. He was particularly critical of Commonwealth distribution of extra Pfizer vaccines for Sydney outside a national vaccination plan and spoke of a rollout of priority vaccines for Victorian Certificate of Education students. He also reiterated a position that in the future Victoria would explore ‘lock out instead of lock down’ rules based on vaccination. Wimmera Health Care Group has earmarked this Saturday and September 16 as special days for VCE stu-

dents and teachers from Horsham and other Wimmera towns to receive vaccinations at its 20 McLachlan Street state-run centre. Victorian Grampians sub-hub vaccine rollout co-ordinator Genevieve Lilley said she was working with schools and other health services to vaccinate eligible students. She said VCE years 12 and 11 students and teachers could book in for vaccination through dedicated VCE booking phone number 1800 434 144. “We don’t expect all students in western Victoria to come to the Horsham clinic,” she said.

Tourism head: We are a collective G

BY DEAN LAWSON

rampians Tourism leader Paul Hooper has listed a broad approach involving municipal input and involvement critical in getting the formula right in making the most of the region’s visitor economy.

Mr Hooper, former Ararat mayor, said based on his experience in local government he fully understood a Horsham Rural City Council need to question the value of any financial partnership. But he was also quick to provide assurances that all municipalities in the group, including Ararat Rural City, Northern Grampians and Southern Grampians shires with Grampians Tourism, were at the forefront of considerations when promoting

future tourism growth in the region. “The core role of Grampians Tourism is to bring people into the region and ‘the rock’, the Grampians, is the hook. At one crucial end of the rock is Horsham. That’s never changed,” he said. Mr Hooper was responding to questions about a Horsham Rural City Council decision to sign on to a Grampians Tourism partnership for one, instead of a requested three years. “Our job is to focus on bringing people to the region and as a former councillor I completely understand that a council’s job is to focus on its municipal responsibilities,” he said. “But visitation into the area is growing at a compound rate of more than 10 percent and tourists really don’t care about lines on a map. “They don’t care whether they are

visiting Horsham, Ararat, Stawell or Hamilton. They want to go whereever they can have a great visitor experience. “We work incredibly hard with the councils and in developing our Grampians Way promotion the focus is about dispersal – not just throughout the Grampians National Park but into the four local government areas. “We can’t have 600,000 people just going to Mackenzie Falls every year, but that’s what’s going to happen unless we get better dispersal. “That’s what Grampians Way is all about.” Grampians Way, developed by Grampians Tourism, is a tourist travelling route that circumnavigates Grampians National Park. The route travels through all partner municipalities.

“The relationship with the councils is the best I’ve ever been involved in and I’ve been around a fair while,” Mr Hooper said. “There is no suggestion anyone is getting overlooked – absolutely not. “It’s the collective that makes us strong and every tourism business, whether involving accommodation, café or other services, is critically important to us.” A primary Horsham council argument in voting to be a one instead of three-year municipal partner was speculation of a lack of value for partnership subscription costs, especially when it came to promotion for business operators. Councils pay $50,000 a year as a partner in the group. Ararat and Northern Grampians councils have signed four-year deals.

Wait continues

A growing collection Horsham’s Rick Smith first became interested in military machinery as a child and as an adult, has been able to add life-size ‘toys’ to his collection. Mr Smith spent about 10 years restoring a 1942 M3A1 Stuart tank, an American light tank used in the Second World War. “The tank was sent over on a LendLease program from America to Australia – or to British forces – but where it was going was invaded by the Japanese before it got there, so they dropped them off in Brisbane,” he said. “It spent the rest of its life in Australia. “I recovered it off a farm up at Rainbow about 15 years ago – it was half there – and set about restoring it over the years. “Everything works except the guns.” Mr Smith said he had showcased his tank at a Reserve Forces Day and Nhill Air Show and ‘three or four things around the place’. He said he had always had an interest in military vehicles. “I spent a bit of time in the Army

Reserve, my brother was in Vietnam and Dad was in the Second World War,” he said. “I always wanted to get a tank. When we moved out of town we had the room and I eventually found one. “You can’t have too many toys.” Mr Smith also discovered a 1944 Studebaker US6 truck on the same farm at Rainbow. “That was a little bit further out in the desert than what the tank was,” he said. “We spent a month going up there every weekend to get it going, because we couldn’t get anything in through the sand to get it out, so we had to get it going and drive it out.” Mr Smith said he planned to make a few changes to his collection in the future and would eventually sell the tank and truck. “I’m going to get a Bren Gun Carrier, which is a smaller open-topped tracked machine gun carrier,” he said. “It’s just a bit easier to carry around PASSION: Horsham’s Rick Smith has an interest in restoring military and get in and out of.” vehicles, including this 1944 Studebaker US6 truck and 1942 M3A1 – Sarah Matthews Stuart tank.

From page 1 “There will be special clinics in Nhill next week, of which students will have priority. Students in the more remote towns might find it easier to go to their local GP to get a vaccine. The main thing is they can get one somewhere, and we encourage them to go to whichever service is most convenient to them.” Wimmera Vaccination Clinic, run by Horsham’s Lister House Medical Clinic at Up Tempo Cafe and Function Centre, will also provide priority services to VCE students when an expected extra 1000 doses of Pfizer vaccine arrives within the next fortnight. The clinic has already earmarked pregnant women, interstate truck drivers and frontline health and emergency workers as priority groups. Lister House chief executive Amanda Wilson said the clinic regularly updated latest details on its Facebook page. “We’re trying to work different hours for different groups and individuals based on eligibility,” she said. “The best thing for someone who is unsure of what we can provide is to call us on 0458 969 778.”

Mr Hooper said he was comfortable with the Horsham decision based on a degree of industry and regional uncertainty surrounding the restructuring of official Victorian tourism regions. Under new arrangements based on a 2019 Visitor Tourism Review, a proposed Western Victorian Visitor Economy Partnership places Horsham in a North West Victoria or ‘outback’ area north and potentially outside the Grampians mountain region. “I understand there is a lot of water to go under that transitional bridge and I’m relaxed that Horsham is only signing for one year based on that,” Mr Hooper said. “We don’t know in any certainty when that transition will happen.” The Horsham council has been a financial partner in the Grampians tourism group for about a decade.

PUBLIC NOTICES 8 September 2021

Column Draft Council Plan out now Councillor Cr Les Power Horsham Rural City Council endorsed the Draft Council Plan 2021-2025 at its August Meeting on Monday night and it is now on public exhibition for community feedback along with the ten year Financial Plan and Asset Plan.

Council’s Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan has been incorporated into the Draft Council Plan 2021-2025 and reflects the important role Council has in supporting the health and wellbeing of all people living in the municipality.

The Draft Council Plan sets the municipality’s priorities for the next four years and aligns with the themes of the Community Vision 2040: Sustainability, Liveability, Accessibility, Community plus an additional theme of Leadership.

The Asset Plan and the Draft Financial Plan 2021/22 to 2030/31 document the financial resources needed for council to support the goals of the Community Vision and Council Plan.

The recently adopted Community Vision 2040 has been used to inform the Council Plan for 2021-2025, along with the accompanying Financial Plan and Asset Plan. The Draft Council Plan has been developed in accordance with the Strategic Planning Principles of the Local Government Act 2020, and details strategies, initiatives and priorities for delivery over the next 4 years.

Mayor Robyn Gulline encouraged all residents to share their views on the Draft Council Plan 2021-2025 and the Asset Plan and Financial Plan. “During the Council election last year, we heard from residents that they wanted strong engagement and a clear understanding of Council’s direction and commitments. This plan delivers this with the inclusion of some great ideas and valuable feedback on

important priorities for the next four years that we heard through the Horsham Talks There is a glimmer community engagements,” Cr Gulline said. of hope that the restrictions across “The Draft Council Plan 2021-2025 has regional Victoria may been developed to align with the themes of be eased next week, the Community Vision 2040 and has been but the daily case informed by community engagement as numbers coming well as the combined experience and fresh out of Victoria are ideas of the Councillor team. not heading in the direction we are all hoping for. “As a Council, we are proud to endorse the Draft Council Plan 2021-2025 and we look All we can really do is keep our fingers forward to hearing from our communities. crossed and continue to do the right thing.

RETHINKING RECYCLING AND WASTE Horsham Rural City Council is mapping out a plan for additional recycling services for urban and rural households across the municipality – saving thousands of tonnes of waste from landfill each year.

Community feedback will be sought before any changes are made so that key areas of concern with the proposed service model can be identified and accommodated in the service to be implemented.

Under the State Government’s Circular Economy Policy, released in February 2020, all Victorian councils must introduce Food and Garden Organics (FOGO) collection for all urban households by 2030, and separate glass recycling collection by 2027.

It’s estimated that up to 40 per cent of the municipality’s household rubbish is food waste, which currently goes straight to landfill.

At its 23 August 2021 meeting, Council adopted a draft service model that describes the possible transition to a new, four-bin collection ahead of that deadline – with further details to be considered at a future Council meeting. In order to move to the new system Council will consider: • A new fortnightly Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) collection • A new monthly glass recycling collection. • Expansion of recycling collection in rural areas. • New glass recycling drop-off locations across the municipality.

COUNCIL PLAN The Draft Council Plan has been developed in accordance with the Local Government Act 2020, and details strategies, initiatives and priorities for delivery over the next 4 years. CREATIVE HORSHAM Council is currently developing its Creative Horsham Plan. A creative industries survey is now open. To view these draft plans and make a submission, please visit hrcc.vic.gov.au/Have-Your-Say

On a positive note, the start of spring has put on some glorious weather, it has been so great to enjoy some sunshine, warmth and fresh air. It is also great to see that more hospitality businesses are having new outdoor dining infrastructure installed, including umbrella sockets and/or glass wind protection barriers. All 33 projects are being funded from both the Victorian Government’s outdoor dining package and Council’s own COVID support program included in last year’s budget, with a combined total in excess of $1 million. Inglorious Pastas, Norton Estate, Natimuk Showgrounds, Natimuk Milk Bar, Domino’s, National Hotel, the Wander Inn and Moe’s are some of the places to benefit in recent weeks. This is great to see, as we are a regional city and need to lead the way when it comes recovering from the pandemic. While we continue to face challenges, we need to stay committed to our cause in emerging from each lockdown, stronger and ready to keep moving forward. We need to continue to do the right thing, be kind to each other, stay socially distanced, get vaccinated if we can and hopefully we can all be back together very soon.

When buried in landfill, food waste decomposes without oxygen, creating methane gas – which contributes to global warming. Separating glass from other recycling will make recycling more efficient, and allow more glass to be recovered for recycling. Under the current system about 30 per cent of glass cannot be recovered and broken glass fragments cause problems for other recycled materials. Mayor Robyn Gulline said Council would consider the timing, structure and cost of a new household waste and collection service at a future Council meeting.

Results reflect commitment

immera school communities continue to absorb and reflect on figures that show Victorian children leading national literacy and numeracy expectations.

The State Government confirmed that despite COVID-19 pandemic challenges, Victorian children recorded the highest National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy, NAPLAN, results of any state. The figures, based on test results from students in years three, five, seven and nine, showed significant improvement on previous years. Wimmera schools were part of the statewide assessment, contributing to the glowing Victorian result. Horsham foundation-to-year-12 Holy Trinity Lutheran College was among schools that had students participating in the assessment in primary as well as secondary settings. Principal Daniel Weller said apart from his school’s impressive results, overall statewide figures were also highly pleasing. “We have to acknowledge for everyone the past year and this year have been very difficult for students, staff and families – the whole gamut,” he said. “It has definitely been challenging, especially when we all want children to continue to learn and grow. “It has been difficult for many and it has been pleasing to see that across the board our state has done well in this space.

SHINING: Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College year-seven student Jarhyn McGrath was among many students who helped Victoria produce strong NAPLAN results this year. “It’s very encouraging and helps inform what programs we can do and what we can do to make them even better. It’s also good to see that we’ve maintained and even improved on results from years past. “It’s nice to show some real affirmation for students, staff and parents and all the work that’s gone into supporting the kids.” The Lutheran college NAPLAN results showed about a 99 percent mark for literacy and 100 percent and above for numeracy – well above minimum expectations. “We were well above averages and our trend is continuing to increase.

It’s great to provide good opportunities for learning,” Mr Weller said. Student wellbeing and learning opportunities and parenting and teaching difficulties amid remote schooling have been a primary social concern during the pandemic. Mr Weller said he looked forward to a positive future beyond the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic and remote learning. “We’ve all been there to support one another and now we’re all looking forward to restrictions easing and going back to some normality. We hope things change soon,” he said. NAPLAN, which is an annual as-

sessment testing reading, writing, spelling, grammar, punctuation and numeracy across Australian students, is part of a National Assessment Program run on Education Ministers Meeting direction. An Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority summary of NAPLAN 2021 is that the COVID-19 pandemic has had no significant import on student literacy and numeracy achievement at national or state and territory level. Data also shows that compared with a 2008 base year, childhood numeracy and literacy levels have significantly improved.

Ongoing support for Ararat job seekers Job seekers in Ararat district have support from a new agency partnership. Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network, CGLLEN, has joined forces with a Highlands LLEN Jobs Victoria Advocate Program to provide the service. When COVID-19 restrictions allow, CGLLEN will host a Jobs Victoria advocate in its Ararat office one day a week.

The advocate is also working from Ararat Library one day a week. CGLLEN executive officer Jane Moriarty said Jobs Victoria advocates worked ‘on the ground’ to help people navigate employment and training services by connecting with people, where they are, in their local communities. “Accommodating a Jobs Victoria advocate in our office space is a great fit for us. It allows us to work col-

laboratively to connect community members looking for employment to local support, training and employment opportunities,” she said. “We’ve also been able to complement our existing CGLLEN programs with the great work being undertaken by Dan, our local advocate.” Ms Moriarty said Jobs Victoria advocates were part of a State Government investment in employment

support responding to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. She said the free program allowed people in the community to seek one-on-one job, training and careers advice at no cost. People seeking more information on the Jobs Victoria Advocate Program can visit website www.jobs. vic.gov.au, email jobsvicadvocate@ highlandsllen.org or call 0448 017 610.

Production cancelled St Brigid’s College production leaders have cancelled this year’s show, Midsummer Jersey, following the latest COVID-19 lockdown. The production was originally scheduled for August 5 to 7 and re-scheduled for September 16 to 18, but current restrictions have again thrown a spanner in the works. Teacher and director Vicki Thomas said the decision to cancel the show altogether was made with a ‘very heavy heart’. “We have worked closely with the team at Horsham Town Hall to look for feasible alternative arrangements should restrictions ease, however the numerous implications these suggestions had on various students and staff involved in the production deemed them impractical,” she said. “We also investigated the potential live-streaming of the performance, however the licensing offered for this did not suit our requirements. “The decision to cancel the show has certainly not come easily and we share in the disappointment felt by the cast, crew, production team and wider school community. “While it is incredibly disappointing that the show can’t go on, I want to wipe away the tears and focus on the wonderful experience of our rehearsal process.” Mrs Thomas said the cast, crew and production team had achieved so much this year, despite a pandemic. “Personally, I have watched in awe as students developed confidence, creativity and friendships that spanned many year levels,” she said. “The extraordinary costume work of Susie Mibus and Catherine Hobbs has been a privilege to witness, and I promise this work will not go unseen. “The involvement of so many individuals within our school community, including parents, family members and friends, meant that we developed a show that we were all incredibly proud of and excited to perform.” Mrs Thomas said everyone involved in the production would celebrate the success of their work in term four. “We will remember the fun and frivolity we shared throughout the rehearsal process,” she said.

Learning from the lessons of COVID

he one aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic we must embrace is the insight it has continued to provide in forging the best ways forward for daily life and culture.

It has exposed, in some cases in its rawest forms, insight into the nitty gritty of who we are, what we do, how we think, how we respond and how we survive – especially in a contemporary context. We hope in the future we can avoid such intense social and economic examinations that the pandemic has presented, but we have no better opportunity than right now to assess, plan and modify.

It is a greater opportunity than to simply ‘get back to normal’ and instead provides pointers to progressive ways forward, in everything from economic resilience to social growth, prosperity and perhaps most importantly, solidarity. Many of us are guilty of contemplating the throw-away thought of ‘if we only knew now what we knew then’ and how it might have changed circumstances. At the moment we’re seeing a smorgasbord of revelations, an exposure of weaknesses and strengths in areas or life, governance and community approaches. I hope someone is taking copious notes.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

If we were to draw an example of how the pandemic has placed a microscope on our society it would be trying to understand how some people have died lonely deaths at home from the virus. There are obviously many different ways this can happen and we suspect this ultimately comes back to isolation. This can come from anything from basic lack of family or community

connectivity and perhaps understanding. The virus has exposed this as an issue in the deadliest of ways. This leads us to another thought – that the virus appears to have been particularly hard on groups living in what can be in tightly knit family, religious, cultural, social or ethnic circumstances. Has the virus showed us one of the previously unseen dangers of informal as well as formal segregation? Does it tell us, perhaps more broadly, about a greater need for all of us, regardless of our backgrounds, to be more switched on in encouraging opportunities for all Australians to integrate, engage and basically get more involved with and respect each other? Yes!

Again, the impact of the virus has asked questions of us all and even what it means to live under the security and solidarity of the Southern Cross. These vulnerabilities represent a small snapshot of a growing cache of revelations the pandemic has unearthed. It has exposed vulnerabilities about overtly centralised societies, scratched away critical fine-print human details about what makes businesses tick and so on and so on. Up-to-date information and data to help guide aspects of our future planning has never been more readily available. Let’s hope we can learn from it all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A better way

SIR, – My aviation business is in another lockdown. Premiers have decreed I can’t work. We are directed to live off our savings – as we were last year. Look up ‘www.worldometer.info’. By comparison Australia’s numbers are miniscule. In mid-August, for every Australian with an active COVID case, France has 68, the United Kingdom 730 and the USA 4412. However, in the USA, 46 states have lifted all restrictions – 4,977,696 active cases; UK, restrictions lifted – 940,285 active cases; France – no internal travel restrictions – 99,017 active cases. In Australia – borders are closed, businesses shut, Victoria is in a sixth lockdown, 12-million Australians are in lockdown. Leaders are in panic mode. The last Victorian lockdown cost $100-million a day. This cost is to cafés, barbers, clothes shops, musicians, florists, tourist operators, performers, hospitality venues. They’re told to

dig into savings and superannuation. Decisionmakers – immune from the consequences and oblivious to the cost of their decisions. Australia’s responses are extreme compared with countries like us. Small businesses take the hit – as always. Unfair. Unsustainable. Premiers race to see who can have the lowest numbers. Vaccination – get this fixed. It’s time to come up with a better way. After the Delta variant, we will have the Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta variants. Is our plan to lockdown through these as well? It’s time to come up with a better way.

New promise

SIR, – ‘Vaccination freedom’ is the new promise from politicians at all levels. Okay, so if I am vaccinated against COVID-19, I will be allowed to attend concert and sporting venues. Hmm, I will be exposed to new and worse viruses. So, what was the point of freedom? B. Quince Ararat

Three major things affect the nervous system and your spine: 1) How we move, (have an adjustment – don’t put up with a problem even if it’s not painful – if it’s stopping you from moving well, you need a hand from me.) 2) How we think (keep positive and read something uplifting every day, being over-anxious causes stress on the nervous system & compromising the immune system) 3) How we eat (Eat good quality food, lots of fruit, vegies and some fresh meat. Absorbing nutrients from food helps us heal and have a healthy nervous system & immune system. Remember when you were sick, healthy bone broths of chicken and beef were always good you.) Get some sunshine! Vitamin D is wonderful for the immune system, and after a cold, grey winter we tend to be low in this. A healthy, well moving spine is great nutrition for the brain, it helps you think clearer, move better and sleep better. Looking forward to helping you.

Council appoints COVID officer

isa Inkster has joined Yarriambiack Shire Council as its COVID business support officer.

The State Government has funded the position, designed to provide help to business owners to navigate regulations, funding programs and support relating to the pandemic. Mrs Inkster will provide support, education and information to businesses and community groups on COVID-19 restrictions and how to comply with COVIDsafe practices moving forward. Council chief executive Jessie Holmes said the role helped in navigating various funding opportunities, reporting requirements and in communicating COVID-19-related information between local business, the council and State Government. “This is a great resource for businesses, event organisers and

Lisa Inkster the wider community to ensure that as a region we not only comply with current restrictions and associated requirements, but also support the new normal for operating in times of COVID-19,” she said. “Lisa has started in the role and

is looking forward to getting out and meeting business owners in person when lockdown and restrictions are lifted. “If you would like assistance in sourcing business funding, navigating the COVID-19 requirements for your next event or how to promote COVID-safe practices to your staff and customers, contact the council and make an appointment with Lisa. She will be able to help ensure your business or event is COVID-safe and meeting regulations.” Ms Holmes said Mrs Inkster was available for phone and email appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during lockdown. She said she would be available for face-to-face consultations on site when restrictions allowed. People can call 5398 0100 or email linkster@yarriambiack. vic.gov.au.

Ararat vaccinations among top in state Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong has congratulated her community for its vaccination response in the fight against COVID-19. Federal Department of Health data shows Ararat Rural City is one of Victoria’s leading municipalities when it comes to COVID-19 vaccination rates.

On Monday, more than 64 percent of the municipality’s residents aged 15 and older had received their first dose of vaccine and 46 percent their second dose. Cr Armstrong said she was proud of the community for rolling up its sleeves, with vaccina-

tion rates in Ararat district higher than the national average. “It’s a collaborative effort that requires dedication from our doctors and nurses, along with our community to do the right thing, that has given us these results,” she said.

MEETING REQUIREMENTS: Fully vaccinated Horsham truck driver Anthony Vincent, pictured getting swabbed by nurse Deidre Harrington, was one of more than 150 asymptomatic drivers who helped ensure Wimmera Health Care Group’s record-breaking month for COVID-19 testing.

Testing record in Horsham Stranded truck drivers helped ensure a record-breaking month for Wimmera Health Care Group’s COVID-19 testing clinic. The organisation tested 1642 people in August, topping July’s 1496. Wimmera Health Care Group’s Horsham campus was surrounded by trucks and prime movers last week after the South Australian government changed its border crossing restrictions. The new restrictions meant Victorian drivers had to produce a negative test result, no older than 72 hours, before they were allowed to cross the border. The restrictions were announced the same day they were enforced, which stranded interstate truck drivers at the Victoria-South

Australia border. Drivers unhitched their loads and drove their prime movers back to the Horsham COVID-19 testing clinic to fulfil the new demands. Management organised a pop-up tent to provide a separate clinic for testing the drivers, which remained until Thursday afternoon. Truck drivers can now be tested any day between noon and midnight at a new pop-up clinic at Nhill Trailer Exchange. The clinic is the collaborative work of West Wimmera Health Service and Ballarat Health Services. • Nhill testing site for truck drivers, page 23.

Co-op chief: Roll up your sleeves

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

oolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative chief executive Tony Craig has encouraged the region’s indigenous community to roll up its sleeves and get vaccinated.

Mr Craig said the organisation had hosted several pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinics in the past couple of weeks and leaders were pleased with early results. “We want to encourage all of our community to come in, because we know now the Delta variant can’t be stopped,” he said. “If and when it does come to our community, we want everyone to be protected.” Research shows indigenous Australians are at increased risk of COVID-19 due to existing health and socio-economic inequities. “It’s a higher-risk cohort and that’s been recognised from day one,” Mr Craig said. “We did such a magnificent job keeping everyone safe during the big outbreaks last year. “This is our chance now to prove again that Aboriginal communities can do that really well. “We’ve really seen a boost in people coming through and getting vaccinated and we hope that continues. “It’s like all communities, we just need our leaders out there getting the vaxes and showing the way. Most people are having the Pfizer, so it’s been a good result so far.” Mr Craig said the region’s indigenous vaccination rate would be close to the state average. “In the past week we’ve had a real boost in interest and people queuing up,” he said. “I reckon by the end of the month we’ll be right on if not ahead of the average. “Country areas haven’t been affected but now

we’re seeing it in country areas. That’s the reason why people are getting the vaccine. “We all want to get out of lockdown but we all realise that needs to be done properly and safely and we’ve realised that vaccinations are the way to do that. “Everyone come and get a jab.” Goolum Goolum family supports manager Kelly Britten has had her first of two Pfizer doses. “I’ve had no problems so far, just a sore arm,” she said. “I believe most of our staff are vaccinated, at least with the first one, and quite a few with their second already. “We’ve also had more interest with our general community. “We saw a lot come through our clinic on Tuesday, which is really good to see.” Ms Britten said there were many conflicting opinions in relation to getting vaccinated and encouraged people to seek medical advice. “I think it’s important for people to speak to their doctor – that’s what I did,” she said. “I went in and had a 40-minute conversation, I asked every question I could ever think of, and then I could walk away fully informed about the decision I was going to make for myself. “What made me really think about getting the vaccine is, what happens if I get COVID? And then what happens to my family? “I weighed those options up and then decided to get the vaccine.” Ms Britten said the co-operative’s vaccination clinics were for the region’s Aboriginal and wider communities. People can call 5381 6330 for information about upcoming vaccination clinics.

Group set to guide service overhaul W

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera-southern Mallee residents have an opportunity to provide input into a complete overhaul of maternity services to meet the current and future needs of birthing women in the region.

Wimmera Health Care Group nurse-midwife unit manager Michelle Coutts announced in The Weekly Advertiser last week the organisation was working to introduce a new model of care. She said as part of the service overhaul, project leaders would consider an extensive consumer and stakeholder feedback process. Mrs Coutts has invited applications for a WHCG Maternity Consumer Advisory Group, which will help create ‘a more contemporary, evidence-based maternity service’. “The primary purpose of our new Maternity Consumer Advisory Group is to contribute to developing a maternity service that meets the current and future needs of birthing women in the Wimmera,” she said. “We are seeking expressions of interest from consumers of maternity services who would like to advise the project on consumer and community views so they are recognised and reflected in service delivery, planning and policy development. “We would also be seeking advice and feedback on new materials that we are developing for consumer information and childbirth and breastfeeding education.” Wimmera Base Hospital in Horsham provides obstetric services for women in Horsham Rural City, Hindmarsh, West Wimmera, Northern Grampians and Yarriambiack municipalities, primarily on a ‘shared care’ basis between midwives and obstetric doctors. The health-care group is considering introducing the caseload model, described as the ‘gold standard’ of maternity care. The model is based on the principle of continuity of care and involves one midwife – and back-up midwives – taking care of a woman throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, postnatal stay and home visits. “This project is absolutely about improving the collaboration between the obstetric, midwifery and allied health workforce and each discipline working to their full scope and areas of expertise,” Mrs Coutts said. “We are seeking up to six maternity consumers to be part of this advisory group. “I would really like to see a wide representation of birthing women from across the Wimmera – inclusive of partners. “You don’t necessarily have to have birthed at Wimmera Base Hospital to be part of this group.” From January 2020 until now, Wimmera Health Care Group has recorded 476 births. Of those, 220 women, or 46 percent, live in Horsham, 66 or 14 percent in Hindmarsh Shire, 29 or six percent in West Wimmera Shire and 18 or four percent in Buloke-Northern Grampians shires. Currently, 131 women are booked to birth at Wimmera Base Hospital, including 70 from

“We really value the feedback and it’s going to be vital to achieving our goal of creating a more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable maternity service for the future. I am so excited to have launched this project and I’ve had some great feedback already. I’m looking forward to hearing from the community about what they want from their maternity service” – Michelle Coutts

Horsham, 15 from Yarriambiack and 17 from Hindmarsh. Mrs Coutts said she was hoping the consumer group would attract applicants from all four corners of the catchment area, as well as Horsham. “The needs of women in Nhill or Hopetoun are often very different from the needs of women living in Horsham,” she said. “Meetings will be monthly at this stage but might be called more frequently if required. “The group might also be asked to occasionally participate in other working groups that comprise the entire maternity project. “Due to COVID-19 restrictions at the present time, we will have to meet online, but as soon as we can resume face-to-face meetings we will.” Mrs Coutts is in the process of finalising details for additional working groups, along with a ‘road trip’ to engage consumers throughout the catchment. “I want to travel throughout the Wimmera to target playgroups, kindergartens and so on, to create some informal focus groups,” she said. “That’s on hold at the moment until COVID restrictions ease, because I really want to do the focus groups face to face and not online. “We really want to give women an opportunity to share their stories and opinions in a very safe and informal space and I don’t think doing it over a screen allows that. “Once the government announces an easing of restrictions that will enable us to meet face to face, we will provide the community with further details.”

FEEDBACK: Wimmera Health Care Group nurse-midwife unit manager Michelle Coutts is inviting expressions of interest for a new Maternity Consumer Advisory Group, which will help guide an overhaul of the organisation’s maternity services.

Snakes on move with warmth New chief BY DEAN LAWSON

Wimmera spring often comes with a mixed bag of weather as nature wrestles itself free of a winter slumber to pave the way for more settled, sunnier and warmer conditions.

This annual parry-and-thrust metamorphosis traditionally brings with it an unpredictability and upheaval that reveals itself through strong wind, sporadic heavy rain and hot and cold snaps. It is also an environmental trigger for wildlife and for Stacy Whitehorse of Gerang Gerung that means being at the ready and for a different type of ‘mixed bag’. Ms Whitehorse, a former interstate freight-train driver, is now a qualified snake handler and the first day of spring last week signified the first day of snake season. The burst of warm weather coinciding with the occasion was a reminder that rising temperature is like nature’s wake-up alarm, particularly from the cold-blooded animals such as snakes and lizards. Reptiles are cold-blooded, which means they go into a torpor during colder months of the year and rely on a return of warm weather to fire up their metabolism and energy levels and give them an opportunity to hunt. Ms Whitehorse has been a wildlife rescuer for many years and became a fully qualified snake handler in January. “Because I care for wildlife I have to fly the flag for all wildlife and even though I’m not particularly fond of them, this includes snakes,” she said. “Like many other native animals,

AT THE READY: Former interstate freight-train driver Stacy Whitehorse from Gerang Gerung is a qualified snake handler now and the first day of spring represents the start of snake season. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER snakes are protected and an integral part of our environment. People who try to kill snakes can put themselves at great risk of being bitten. So I offer capture and relocation services.” Ms Whitehorse, who will shortly graduate from a four-year wildlife science degree, said the best thing people confronting a snake should immediately do, if possible, was to leave it alone. She said if the snake was in an awkward or compromising area that presented a threat, then people could call her. “If it’s possible, it’s important to keep sight of the snake from a safe distance while I’m in transit,” she said. “If a snake is in a house, it’s best to

try to isolate it in a room where it’s gone and block exists such as underneath doors until I arrive.” Ms Whitehorse said eastern brown snakes, among the most venomous snakes in the world, were a common species in the Wimmera. “They are critically important in the eco-system, but approached in the wrong way can be a problem. That’s why I offer this service,” she said. Ms Whitehorse’s business catch phrase is ‘Don’t kill, call, assistance for all reptiles, bitey, scary or cute’, which means she can also collect lizards as well as snakes for relocation. She said people could call her on her wildlife number 0418 851 112. “It is a business with both a conser-

vation and health and safety edge,” she said. “I also do site inspections regarding snakes and their habitats. “Details are on my Gerang Gerung Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre website, www.geranggerung wildlifeshelter.com.” Ms Whitehorse said she could respond to calls across the Wimmera, with different price ranges for centres such as Dimboola, Nhill, Horsham, Jeparit and Warracknabeal based on the time of call-out and travel requirements. All money generated from the removal services go to the wildlife shelter. People with snake-bite emergencies should call triple zero.

Ishbell Reid will take over as Rural Northwest Health’s chief executive from September 20. Health service board chair Julia Hausler said the appointment was the result of an extensive and competitive selection process. She said Mrs Reid was a proven chief executive with a clinical nursing background. “These skills will be vital in progressing the strategic and operational plans for Rural Northwest Health and ensuring our communities receive ‘better health for all’,” she said. “We thank Jodie Cranham for her secondment role as acting chief executive during the past four months. “Jodie has guided our organisation well through our acute and aged-care accreditations and we wish her well as she returns to her role as executive director of aged care at Ballarat Health Services.

Nurses welcomed

Wimmera Health Care Group has welcomed seven new nurses to help ease a shortage of qualified staff. All seven are registered nurses who originally trained in their country of origin and completed a conversion course after moving to Australia. The nurses relocated to Australia through a visa program and most of them have already worked at other health services or aged-care centres throughout the country. Wimmera Health Care Group clinical services allocation officer Dianne Schmidt said the organisation would look at another intake of nurses needing visa sponsorship in October, to help with an ongoing nursing workforce shortage.

month, once every three months or every six – it depends what works for you.” Mr Millar said Meals on Wheels was a daily service, with Natimuk volunteers rotating on a weekly basis. In Horsham, Centre for Participation organises three volunteers a day for its own community meals program and seven for Meals on Wheels. “The Red Cross has a particular run, they do it every day, they just tell us which volunteer is coming,” Mr Millar said. “It’s a great community project for businesses and organisations to be part of. “I used to do Meals on Wheels as a kid – a lot of people did. But doing it as an adult, it’s one of the most incredible things I do. “I don’t do it regularly, I fill in as needed, but it amazes me the amount of people in the community who are lonely and love having a volunteer drop by to deliver a meal and have a quick chat. “The feeling you get is indescribable, you have to do it first-hand to really understand what it means to people.” Mr Millar said the organisation complied with COVID-safe guidelines and security measures, including police checks. He said people could call Centre for Participation on 5382 5607 for more information about volunteering for Meals on Wheels or other programs.

For more than 65 years, Meals on Wheels has played a crucial role in supporting the health and wellbeing of 200,000-plus Australians annually, across 592 service locations. In Horsham and Natimuk, volunteers support 90 vulnerable community members and have delivered about 7600 meals since the start of the year. Centre for Participation acting chief executive Robbie Millar said the program was facing many challenges, particularly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. He used National Meals on Wheels Day last month to thank the ‘wonderful volunteers who have continued to turn up to our service and make sure no-one in our local community went hungry’. He also used the occasion to call for more volunteers. “Having noticed a decline in volunteers over the past 18 months, we are also making an urgent call to address the need for more delivery drivers, a volunteer opportunity we desperately need filling,” he said. “Put simply – Meals on Wheels needs more wheels. “It’s easy, it’s not stressful and you can do it as often as you like. “People can volunteer as a once-off or once a

Group argues tech benefits

roponents of a western Victorian health-service merger involving Wimmera providers are confident the move would provide momentum in advances in the provision of digital services.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in health care, promoting technological innovation to improve staff connectivity and linking patients with specialist services and equipment. Grampians Rural Health Alliance and Ballarat Health Services chief information officer Kate Nolan said the alliance’s digital strategy had successfully tapped into the opportunity. She said the momentum could be further accelerated should Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital, Stawell Regional Health, Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services merge to create a new overarching organisation. She said while the alliance had worked to upgrade infrastructure, improve cybersecurity and create a shared digital record across all health services, together they could achieve even more for the community. “Together we could expand some of the clinical and non-clinical initiatives at Ballarat Health Services, such as data analytics and reporting, and embed some of these skills and systems and introduce them to Wimmera, Stawell and Edenhope,” she said. “From a patient and consumer perspective, imagine the ease of providing your details once rather than mul-

tiple times. For the health services, previous time spent on administrative duties could be spent elsewhere, prioritising care for our communities.” Technological benefits are among several arguments the health boards involved in the merger proposal are promoting. The group, up against stiff opposition at various community levels regarding the move, are providing information and a chance for people to comment through interactive website careforourregion.com.au. Ballarat Health Services and Wimmera Health Care Group are already collaborating in the use of information technology, IT, through staff and service sharing. Wimmera Health Care Group finance and corporate services director Mark Knights said the relationship between the two health groups had led to increased education and opened access to a greater staffing pool. “Currently we have IT team members from Wimmera Health Care Group on secondment to Ballarat Health Services, to manage the IT service desk and do some specialised work to improve the region’s network. In return, if we have critical staff going on leave, we can fill positions temporarily without us having to worry about loss of service,” he said. Increased collaboration between the IT departments has also involved Edenhope hospital. Wimmera Health Care Group has been managing IT for Edenhope since 2012.

COMMITMENT: Horsham Plaza shopping centre is introducing a new community campaign ‘Respect Protect Connect’ to ensure the safety of retail staff, customers and contractors.

Plaza project reinforcing respect In a move to make its customers feel safe and respected at all times, Horsham Plaza is launching public-safety project ‘Respect Protect Connect’. The program is occurring in all 30 RetPro-managed shopping centres Australia-wide. Horsham Plaza centre manager Allison Roberts said the organisation was excited to be rolling out the program, which embodied a commitment to providing a safe environment for retail staff, customers and contractors – an environment they looked forward to working and shopping in daily. She said it was of utmost importance that customers, the community and all the staff in the centre always felt safe and supported.

Mrs Roberts added that Respect Protect Connect reinforced a message that Horsham Plaza shopping centre had ‘zero tolerance’ for any disrespectful and unsafe behaviour. The ‘Respect Protect Connect’ project highlights security and safety operations, some of which are new and some that are long-term procedures that Horsham Plaza centre management wants to emphasise. Centre management, retail and security staff will be wearing project lanyards with a reference card that informs customers of the ‘Respect Protect Connect’ campaign. “We are committed to implementing the campaign framework at Horsham Plaza, which will have far-reaching

benefits to enhance the safety of all of our shopping centre community and beyond,” Mrs Roberts said. “By setting a safety standard we are getting on the front foot and proactively supporting our shopping community.” Supporting ‘Respect Protect Connect’, a Rotary Club of Horsham East project – ‘SayNO2familyviolence’ – will have a static display in the plaza providing brochures and information. Horsham Rural City councillor Claudia Haenel will also offer an opportunity for the community to share thoughts and raise issues during ‘Coffee with a HRCC Councillor’ sessions at 10am to noon on Wednesdays at Café 22, when restrictions allow.

ow quickly the percentage of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can rise is likely to determine how quickly communities can emerge from lockdowns and severe restrictions. The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are therefore encouraging people across the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District to quickly assess if vaccination is right for them. We in turn urge people who are eligible, have weighed up or sought medical advice about individual risk factors and decided to get vaccinated to avoid delaying in booking at the nearest vaccination clinic. The Wimmera has historically been among the best regions in Victoria in embracing vaccination programs and we encourage everyone to help maintain this high bar as we push through the COVID-19 pandemic. As well as keeping as many of our people as safe as possible, lifting the vaccination percentage rates across the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District will strengthen a regional position as part of statewide management of the virus. We can all play our part in beating this scourge. Let’s put our collective shoulder to the wheel and do what we can to open up our communities.

Opportunity in Hindmarsh

he first round of a revised 2021-2022 Hindmarsh Shire Council Business Assistance Grants program is open for applications.

Since their 2016 inception, the council’s business assistance grants have helped eligible businesses generate employment opportunities and grow and attract new business to the shire. Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said the council had revised the program for the 2021-2022 financial year in recognition business owners had individual needs, particularly in the climate of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. “With a new criteria and format, the 2021-2022 grant program aims to be flexible in order to support the individual needs of business owners,” he said. “Because of the new criteria, the council strongly encourages business owners to review the guidelines and criteria to determine their eligibility and to contact council staff who will be happy to assist with any queries they might have prior to submitting an application. “Funding provided to businesses in previous grant rounds has assisted with staff training, development of websites, signs, marketing and improvements to shopfronts.” The Hindmarsh council has allocated $20,000 towards the program in its 2021-2022 annual budget and an

additional one-off $20,000 COVID-19 recovery allocation. The 2021-2022 business assistance grants program offers support and help across two tiers of funding categories. The tier-one category helps existing businesses to undertake small projects to a value of up to $1000 without a co-contribution from the business. Projects might include enhancing business growth by improving employee skills; creating or updating business, marketing or succession plans; or developing websites or socialmedia platforms. Tier-two grants aim to help existing businesses with projects costing more than $1000. Successful tier-two applicants will receive $3 from the council for every $1 co-contribution from businesses up to a maximum of $3000. These projects might include help to expand a home-business base to commercial premises, relocation of businesses from other municipalities into Hindmarsh Shire, or upgrades to business premises. Business operators can apply on a Hindmarsh Shire Council website, www.hindmarsh.vic.gov.au or download an application form. Round one of the program closes at 5pm on September 17 and more information is available from council community development officer Matt Sherwell by calling 5391 4444 or emailing grants@hindmarsh.vic.gov. au.

keeping you from the things you love? With over 25 years experience in private practice, physiotherapist Shaun can deal with a wide range of conditions, including both injury management, prevention and functional maintenance. Don’t let life’s aches, pains and injuries drag on – do something about it today!

entre for Participation has joined forces with Business Horsham to brighten the day of Social Support Program clients, who are often isolated and separated from family and friends.

Program leaders have created ‘Happy Hampers’, gift packs that include a Shop Horsham gift card, coffee voucher from Nourish’d-Bad Boy Burger Co and a threecourse meal from Centre for Participation’s Laneway – Café without Borders. Social support program co-ordinator Kylie Zanker said COVID-19 restrictions had greatly limited the social connection and interaction clients would have had in ‘normal’ times. “The Happy Hampers have been a wonderful way of saying ‘Hi, how are you going?’ or ‘We’re thinking of you’, and offering the gift of a meal, a slice and vouchers to lift people’s spirits,” she said. “Food brings people together and if we can’t be together we can share the warm feelings that are connected with food –

support, care, kindness and community. This is our way of spreading the sparkle over COVID times.” Ms Zanker said even when restrictions eased, many could find circumstances remained challenging. She said Centre for Participation clients had commented they had lost their confidence to connect and engage in conversation. Business Horsham ambassador Stacey Taig said the Shop Horsham gift cards, along with a free coffee from a Business Horsham member, were ‘an amazing incentive to engage and reconnect with friends and family’. “This was something we wanted to be involved in from the beginning,” she said. “Giving back to our community as a whole is something Business Horsham is committed to, and this initiative not only helps those who need a little bit of a helping hand, it also provides the opportunity for those individuals to support their local businesses through the use of the Shop Horsham gift card program.”

Laneway café manager Jessica Koenig Fischer said the Happy Hampers were a great way of supporting elderly members of the community through a gift and a – socially distanced – visit from a friendly volunteer. “Losing confidence to head to the shops when restrictions have previously eased is definitely going to be an ongoing issue for months to come,” she said. “My hope is the Shop Horsham gift cards and the tempting offer of a free coffee from Nourish’d-Bad Boy Burger Co will encourage these community members to venture out when the time is right. “All of that together with a three-course meal from Laneway is a pretty amazing gift.” People can call Laneway café on 5382 2320 or visit 41 Roberts Avenue, Horsham, for more information about the Happy Hampers. People can buy Shop Horsham gift cards online at www.businesshorsham.com.au or in store at Horsham Newsagency.

RUGGING UP: East Grampians Health Service Residents’ Support Group members Jane Richardson, left, and Heather Steedman, co-ordinated a knitted-rug program for 70 Lowe Street and Garden View Court in Ararat.

Rugs for Ararat aged-care residents Members of East Grampians Health Service Residents’ Support Group have been busy knitting knee rugs for residents in Ararat’s 70 Lowe Street and Garden View Court aged-care centres. Beryl Raselli spent many

hours knitting the squares and members then sewed the squares into colourful knee rugs, which have been put to good use during the winter months. The effort involved the creation of 15 rugs. Residents’ support group

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

president Marlene Goudie said members had been unable to volunteer in the aged-care centres due to visitor restrictions and lockdowns. “So we decided donating hand-knitted rugs for our residents would not only keep

them warm during winter, but also let them know we are thinking of them,” she said. “We have really missed visiting residents and enjoying activities with them and hope that we will be able to do so again very soon.”

Dear Supporter I am writing to you to address some concerns which have been raised regarding how the announced proposed amalgamation of the Wimmera Health Care Group (WHCG) with Ballarat, Stawell and Edenhope Health Services may affect the Foundation. I provide the following information in order to clarify the position of the Foundation in light of this. The amalgamation only affects the health care service as such and does not affect the Foundation because the Foundation is totally independent of the WHCG, which does not control the Foundation or its capital resources. The Foundation is solely controlled by a trustee company, namely Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation Pty. Ltd., of which Penelope Manserra, Sue Frankham, Alison Butler, David Johns and myself are the current directors. Further, the power to remove or appoint directors of the trustee company rests solely with the Foundation’s directors. Neither the WHCG nor its Board of Management have any control in this regard. Pursuant to the Foundation’s Trust Deed, the Foundation is legally obligated to make donations only to the WHCG (Horsham and Dimboola campuses). The Foundation is not permitted to make any donations to any other health service. All directors are determined that the funds held by the Foundation will remain for the sole benefit of the Horsham and Dimboola campuses of the WHCG, being the purpose for which your donations were made to the Foundation. The Foundation is extremely grateful for your significant support and financial assistance to date and trusts that this will continue post amalgamation. After all, it is your support and financial assistance that makes it possible for the Foundation to donate funds to the WHCG for the purchase of much needed medical equipment and improvement of its services. Yours faithfully,

Graeme Hardman

Support for ag societies

he State Government has put aside another $300,000 to support agricultural societies recover from cancelling their annual shows due to the COVID19 pandemic.

Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas has officially opened the Agricultural and Pastoral Society Grants Program for this year, with grants of up to $10,000 available to successful applicants. Agricultural shows across the Wimmera-Mallee are among the many events to fall victim to the pandemic and subsequent restrictions, lockdowns and general uncertainty. Ms Thomas said agricultural shows played a significant role in regional Victoria’s vibrant calendar of events, promoting the agriculture industry and showcasing the best of the state’s livestock, local art, craft and artisanal produce. She said the events, drawing on volunteers to their committees from across the community, were also important social institutions. “From the very young to the very old, Victorians love their local show and the pandemic has again played havoc with these local institutions – that’s why we’re providing this vital support,” she said. “Agricultural shows are a significant part of not only regional Victoria but the entire state, provid-

ing opportunities for up to 50,000 volunteers and attracting about two million patrons annually.” Recipients can use grants for a variety of purposes, including implementation of COVID-safe measures and support for the use of technology to encourage remote participation in show activities. They could also use them to develop infrastructure, increase community involvement and improve show planning activities. The annual grants program continues to support up to 90 percent of the total cost of projects. Earlier this year, the government announced 46 recipients from a 2020 program, which shared in almost $300,000. Recipients used the grants for various projects, including purchasing a grandstand, extending a shearing pavilion, providing sanitiser stations, the installation of solar panels and the purchase of portable animal yards. Ms Thomas said the government would continue to support agricultural and pastoral societies and their communities and economies and support regional jobs as the state united to combat the pandemic. Applications for the Agricultural and Pastoral Society Grants Program are open until October 3. More information is available online at agriculture.vic.gov.au.

INSPIRING CHILDREN: Ararat district author Janette Lucas with examples of her work.

Author’s work on community wall An exhibition of illustrations from author Janette Lucus will greet visitors on a community wall when Ararat Gallery TAMA opens again to the public. The exhibition, featuring 15 illustrations from Lucas’s book Margot and Milligan: Curious as Cats, will be on show until October 19. Lucas has decades of experience exhibiting her paintings throughout Australia and Indonesia. Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong emphasised the importance of the community wall in highlighting works of district artists and community groups. “The gallery received a positive response from the first exhibition ‘The Butterfly Project’, with many proud parents and community members viewing the kindergarten artworks,” she said. “Following the success of the kinder display, the gallery is proud to

present drawings from Lucas’s new children’s book. “Children’s books are known for their magical illustrations; it’s often the first time kids are exposed to art.” Having re-discovered an affection for children’s books, Lucas wrote her first book, Margot and Milligan: Curious as Cats, on a road trip visiting a friend’s farm near Byron Bay in 2020. “The book also takes me back to my childhood. I grew up in the La Trobe Valley where we were surrounded by farmland, often encountering a herd of cows making their way across the road from the milking shed to the paddock,” Lucas said. “I recently spent an afternoon on a farm near Ararat, in an enclosure with some calves, which behaved ‘curiously as cats’ as they turned to examine me. The behaviour of the calves also inspired the story. “Margot is a confident and inquis-

itive child who loves animals and as young children often do, she asks too many questions. “People can expect to see themes found within the illustrations such as bravery and overcoming fear. All children love art – it helps them process ideas and figure out how things work. “When I was an art teacher, I noticed that children responded well to figurative drawings and being able to relate to the humanity in artwork. “My advice for parents looking to encourage creativity is to allow children to make a mess and have a dedicated creative space where they can access materials to draw freely. “It’s wonderful to have my illustrations from my first published children’s book featured at the gallery, I’m hoping they will inspire children to draw.” People seeking more information about the gallery can call 5355 0220.

‘The right thing to do’ N

orthern Grampians Shire councillor Lauren Dempsey has encouraged more Wimmera people to get the COVID-19 vaccination as soon as they are eligible.

Cr Dempsey received her first dose of Pfizer vaccine at Stawell Regional Health. “I vaccinated because I wanted to do my bit to help our community and our country get back to some sort of normal,” she said. “Our frontline workers are doing what they can to protect us and by getting vaccinated I believe I am doing what I can to help.” Cr Dempsey, 31, said young people getting the vaccination was the best way to get communities back to normal. “We all need to be doing what we can to try to get our communities back to a relatively normal functioning level,” she said. “The advice of our Chief Health Officer and health professionals is to get vaccinated and I’d love to see those percentage rates of Australians continue to increase. “It is the only way we can achieve some sort of safety and normality. “I was eligible to get vaccinated early as I work for a health service, so was lucky enough to be able to get the jab as soon it became available to me. “Now, both AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines are available to the 16 to 39 year old age group and I’d love to see our local health service inundated with people booking in to get the jab.”

Cr Dempsey said registering to get vaccinated was relatively easy. “I completed the required form and emailed it directly to the Stawell Regional Health vaccine email address, COVIDVaccine@ srh.org.au,” she said. “They got back to me that day and I was getting my first dose the following day. “The process was simple for me and the staff I dealt with were great.” Cr Dempsey said she saw the need to get vaccinated both as a duty and just ‘the right thing to do’. “As an elected representative for my community, it is part of my responsibility to be a role model and provide leadership where I can,” she said. “Having said that, I would have got vaccinated regardless. “It is the advice of health professionals to get vaccinated in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 and I want to do whatever I can to help with this. “I was a little worried about possible side effects, but looking at the bigger picture I knew that was nothing compared with getting COVID, so for me it was a no-brainer. “For me, all I got was a sore arm and a slightly aching body – nothing a couple of Nurofen couldn’t fix.” Cr Dempsey encouraged people to contact their local provider for information and booking. “There’s a lot of mixed information out there coming from fed-

who has not yet been vaccinated to please make a booking – speak with your doctor, health service or pharmacy if you are unaware of where to go to get vaccinated. “It’s the simplest thing we can do to help our community.”

Nhill testing site for truck drivers West Wimmera Health Service has set up a pop-up COVID-19 testing site at Nhill Trailer Exchange on the western outskirts of the town. The service partnered with Ballarat Health Services and the Department of Health to establish the site in response to a recent spike in demand from truck drivers required to be regularly tested for COVID-19 to cross the border into South Australia. A recent snap rule change by South Australian authorities means that truck drivers must now have had a COVID-19 test within 72 hours of crossing the border. This resulted in a bottleneck of trucks in Horsham, which has the two closest asymptomatic testing sites to the South Australian border. West Wimmera Health Service chief executive Ritchie Dodds said the site should take pressure off other testing sites and make life easier for truck drivers. He said the testing site would operate from noon to midnight until further notice. “There are a number of moving parts involved in setting up a site like this, but we successfully did something similar late last year and that experience has served us well,” he said. “We are very grateful for the support from Ballarat Health Services and of course the work of our own engineering and maintenance team.” Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has also called for the site to provide a base for a pop-up vaccination clinic to support border-community efforts to lift vaccination rates. Ms Kealy was quick to point out circumstances surrounding the issue in an email to the State Government last week. She responded to truck drivers turning around at the South Australian border and driving their prime-movers back to Horsham and parking around Wimmera Base Hospital where they could get tested. Wimmera Health Care Group also quickly responded to the situation, establishing a temporary pop-up COVID-testing tent for truck drivers as snap planning for the Nhill project got underway.

New appeal Hyundai expands Palisade range to six for 2022

yundai Motor Corporation Australia has bolstered its Palisade line-up with the addition of two new eponymously named entry-level variants for the 2022 model year, taking the line-up from four to six.

With the petrol priced from $55,000 plus on-roads and the diesel starting at $59,000, the new base models undercut their predecessors by $6000 and $5000 respectively, while the previous versions are now badged as ‘Elite’ in keeping with the rest of the HMCA portfolio. No changes have been made to either the 3.8-litre V6 or 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines, with outputs and respective drive configurations –

front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive – being carried over. There have been a few omissions in standard equipment to meet the new price point, the most notable being an 8.0-inch infotainment system in place of the bigger 10.25-inch unit. Despite the smaller screen, the base models still come with plenty of toys, including wireless phone charging, Apple CarPlay-Android Auto, multiconnection Bluetooth compatibility, reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, leather appointed interior, trizone climate control, a 7.0-inch supervision cluster, automatic headlights and powered driver’s seat adjustment. Both petrol and diesel variants roll on 18-inch wheels and come with a full-sized spare as well as

LED daytime running lights. Active safety credentials are provided by HMCA’s SmartSense suite comprising blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, driver attention warning, forward collision-avoidance assist, high beam assist, lane-keep assist, lane following assist, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assist, rear occupant alert, parking distance warning, tyre pressure monitoring and trailer stability assist. To accommodate the newcomers, the standard kit lists of what are now the Elites, as well as the top-spec Highlanders, have been enhanced with some extra features, which in the case of the former, has driven prices up slightly. Starting from $61,500 before on-

roads for the petrol and $65,500 for the diesel, the Elites are $1500 more expensive than their MY21 equivalents, but now come with rear privacy glass, smart power tailgate, heated front seats, a single panel sunroof, dual LED headlights, 20-inch alloy wheels and combination LED taillights in addition to the existing 10.25inch infotainment screen, 12-speaker Infinity audio system, satellite navigation and ‘driver talk’ third-row intercom function. As for the Highlanders, prices have held steady at $71,000 for petrol and $75,000, diesel, despite the addition of newly designed 20-inch alloy ‘calligraphy’ wheels, optional black leather upholstery, body coloured bumpers and body-coloured cladding.

For reference, other standard equipment highlights on the flagship trim level include a head-up display, blindspot view monitor, surround view monitor, suede roof lining, Nappa leather seats, dual sunroof with tilt function, rear door blinds, memory driver’s seat, heated front and second row seats, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, rain sensing wipers and safe exit assist. HMCA chief executive Jun Heo said revisions to the Palisade were designed to ‘provide an even more enticing large SUV flagship for 2022, with a more accessible range-entry model’. The updated range will start arriving in showrooms in the final quarter of 20211. – Callum Hunter

Isuzu expands its D-Max range

suzu Ute Australia has announced a series of running changes to its local D-Max portfolio for the 2022 model year, however none of them include a Raptor-baiting or Warrior-engaging hero ute. Instead, the brand has gone the other way and introduced two new 4x2 variants at the bottom of the range, powered by a 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine, bolstered the middle of the range with a trio of new cab-chassis variants and introduced a new LS-U+ trim level below the flagship X-Terrain. Starting from the bottom, the new 1.9-litre engine is only available in 4x2 SX Single-Cab Chassis guise, however, customers do get the choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. The manual is priced from $31,200 plus on-road costs while the automatic carries a $2000 premium at $33,200. Compared with the familiar 140kW450Nm outputs of the bigger 3.0-litre engine, the smaller donk churns out 110kW of power and 350Nm of torque – enough to tow up to 2800kg braked in manual form or up to 3000kg in the automatic’s case. For those needing the full 3500kg braked towing capacity and a bit more room in the cabin, a 3.0-litre 4x2 SX space cab chassis has been added to the range for $38,700 as a more ver-

CHANGES: Extra variants, more equipment and new entry-level engine lead Isuzu’s D-Max range. satile replacement for the now discontinued ‘ute’ version. Another deletion from the range is the manual 4x4 SX crew cab ute. However, cab chassis versions of the mid-range and upper tier 4x4 LS-M and LS-U crew cabs have been added to the range, priced from $52,800 and $58,200 respectively – $1200 cheaper than their ute equivalents.

The other new addition for 2022 is the $61,900 LS-U+ that bridges the gap between the standard LS-U and the flagship X-Terrain, with black leather upholstery, heated front seats, heated wing mirrors, vanity mirror lights and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. While the new variant count stops there, there have also been plenty of

changes to the standard kit lists of the existing versions, including the inclusion of an under-rail tub liner and tow bar receiver on all versions of the LS-U and X-Terrain. Sticking with the more lavishly equipped versions, the MY22 X-Terrain scores all of the new goodies the LS-U+ has as well as an ‘enhanced’ instrument cluster, red stitch-

ing throughout the cabin and some extra black trim. Moving down the order, LS-Us pick up keyless entry, walk-away locking and an auto-dimming rearview mirror as standard, while LS-M Utes have inherited rear parking sensors. All this additional gear has inevitably resulted in some price increases, but only for the LS-U and X-Terrain, which have all gone up by $1500 and $2000 respectively – as of the first quarter of next year, the X-Terrain will again be available from a promotional driveaway price of $62,990. One glaring omission from the enhanced kit lists is the ‘rough terrain’ off-road mode as found in 4x4 variants of the new MU-X large SUV. When asked whether this was ever considered for the MY22 D-Max, the company said it was ‘unable to comment on future model plans’. This was the same response given to fresh queries about the possibility of a hardcore flagship to take on the Ford Ranger Raptor and Nissan Navara Pro-4X Warrior. As an extra sweetener for customers, those still waiting for their MY21 vehicles ordered before July 31 will be upgraded to the MY22 equivalent at no extra charge. – Callum Hunter

Geneva show to launch Qatar event A fter a chaotic few years full of postponements, cancellations and rescheduling, the international motor show scene might actually come out of the COVID-19 era stronger than before, with a new show set to launch in either 2022 or 2023 as a sister event to the legendary Geneva show.

Planned to take place at Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre in the Northern Hemisphere autumn, the Qatar Geneva International Motor Show is the result of a new partnership between organisers of the Geneva show and Qatar Tourism to deliver ‘a new world-renowned motor show for the Middle East’. At this stage the Qatar Geneva show will be a biennial event and, according

to organisers, usher in a new format that should combine with the ‘glamorous Qatari’ backdrop to stand out as an essential calendar event for exhibitors and car fans alike. Geneva international motor show permanent committee president Maurice Turrettini said show organisers were proud and honoured that Qatar Tourism had ‘put their trust in us for the conception of the new motor show in Doha’. “Our partnership is the result of very trusting and constructive discussions from day one,” he said. “The joint forces with Qatar Tourism empower us to focus on the upcoming 91st edition of Geneva international motor show in February 2022, where we will be able to gather ideas and learnings for the new show in Doha.”

Qatar Tourism president Akbar Al Baker was equally enthusiastic about the partnership and said the new show would form a key part of the ‘Qatar National Vision 2030’ tourism strategy. “In addition to extensive hotel and resort development, the refurbishment and creation of tourism assets and an expanding culinary scene, hosting internationally renowned events is an important pillar of our strategy. We’re pleased to partner with the highly distinguished Geneva International Motor Show and look forward to a collaborative relationship to bring this eminent event to our shores,” he said. While the Doha event will be every two years, the Geneva show will continue as an annual exhibition, with next year’s event from February 19 to 27. – Callum Hunter

TWICE THE FUN: With a new venue and format, organisers predict the new Qatar Geneva International Motor Show will become a must-attend event for exhibitors and fans.

Porsche to set up shop in China

orsche has announced it will be intensifying its focus on the Chinese market while doubling down in the ASEAN market with a new research and development satellite facility in Shanghai and small-scale assembly operations in Malaysia.

GLOBAL BRAND: Porsche is a firm believer in having boots on the ground in many of its key markets to make sure its cars are as relevant as can be. lished in Sweden, South Africa and the US, all of which have had direct input into the development of Porsche’s key models. Porsche executive board member for research and development Michael Steiner said the addition of the Shanghai research and development centre underlined the company’s com-

mitment to ensuring its cars remain ‘relevant and attuned’ to its various global markets. “We’re proud to be a vibrant, global business and to be investing in localised programs to ensure our cars and services do reflect the specific needs of our markets outside of Europe,” he said.

“To do this best requires a permanent presence.” This philosophy of having boots on the ground has also led to the establishment of a new small-scale assembly operation in Malaysia with longstanding partner Sime Darby Berhad as the brand tries to capitalise on a ‘very dynamic market environment’

With China having long been the Stuttgart brand’s biggest single market, executives say the new research and development centre will help development teams gain a better understanding of Chinese customer requirements as well as improving both market-specific and global products. Porsche AG executive board chair Oliver Blume said the brand was driven by curiosity and by ‘perpetually learning and fine tuning’ its cars. “Having a permanent home for this work in China will bring obvious benefits, particularly when it comes to reflecting and predicting our customer’s needs in China, a nation that has truly welcomed Porsche and has taken our cars to heart to the extent that it’s been our biggest sales market for six consecutive years,” he said. “The Chinese automotive market is very dynamic and customer preferences are highly specific. We want to meet these demands the best way possible.” Far from the first of its kind, similar satellite facilities have been estab-

within the ASEAN region. Hoping to initially gain a foothold in Malaysia with locally made cars specifically for that market, Porsche executives anticipate success there will serve as a launchpad to increase the brand’s presence and market share across the whole ASEAN region with plenty of ‘significant business opportunities’. Porsche executive board member for sales and marketing Detlev von Platen said Malaysia and the whole ASEAN was a region of great potential ‘and we look forward to the first locally assembled models reaching our Malaysian customers next year’. “As Porsche is moving into a new era of mobility, Malaysia and the ASEAN region are gaining an increasing importance,” he said. “This step now is part of a longstanding initiative to keep pace with rapidly evolving customer and market demands.” Porsche executive board member for production and logistics Albrecht Reimold added that while modest in size, the new assembly site signalled the brand’s willingness to learn and adapt to specific local market conditions. As for the Australian market, Porsche Cars Australia has sold 2935 new vehicles so far this year ending July 31, marking a 19.5 percent improvement on 2457 units it delivered over the same period last year. – Callum Hunter

• The ability to work autonomously, as well as being able to work in a team • High attention to detail • Experience using 2 pack paint system • A strong customer focus to achieve the desired outcome for each customer Previous experience in industrial spray painting or a trade qualification is desired.

The Weekly Advertiser, a free weekly publication circulating throughout the Wimmera, southern Mallee and Ararat district is seeking an experienced senior journalist to join its team.

This is a full-time position based in our Horsham dealership. For more information, a position description or to apply contact us today. HR E hr@jjoconnor.com.au

This full-time position would be perfectly suited to a journalist with industry experience and training keen to pursue or return to a Victorian regional lifestyle.

M 0417 491 685

The successful applicant will have the ability to efficiently and quickly research, create and submit a body of factually accurate and grammatically ‘clean’ stories daily, guided by a broad in-house newsroom style. The work would involve covering hard news, features and sport and capturing occasional photographs, based on a region from Ararat to the South Australian border. The story-responsibility mix would be based on how best the successful applicant would fit into the structure of a relatively small newsroom team.

Christian Devotions

Despite the generalist nature of the position, The Weekly Advertiser welcomes inquiries from journalists specialising in sport or news.

The Season of Hope

Importantly, the applicant, in having a strong understanding of sub-editing and page make-up requirements, preferably based in InDesign programming, must have skills to cover leave or absences of a regular subeditor.

Spring is known as the Season of Hope and it is believed, Hope springs eternal. In Australia, the Spring season occurs during the months of September, through November. The days become longer and the temperatures rise. Flowers and trees start to bloom. Animals come out of hibernation and many baby animals are born. Spring heralds in new life, new hope and with it, fresh courage. One of Bern Williams, English Philosopher and Published Author’s profound statements is, “the day the Lord created Hope was probably the same day he created Spring.” This Springtime let us determine to renew our Hope; for some, to search out Hope and for others, to be encouragers of Hope. I am talking about Biblical Hope, the Confident Expectation, Assurance, not maybe or possibly but definitely because God has promised. It has been said often, Spring calls us back to nature, fills our sails with warmer winds, soothes our weary bones, and lifts our spirits. May your spirit be lifted this Springtime, may you find fresh hope in God. Much of society today is in the grip of fear and despair but there is Hope, there is Comfort, there is an answer to the heartache of “man.” The answer is found in the God of Hope, not just in going to church, or even simply in praying or reading but in an intimate personal relationship with our Heavenly Father and in turn, experiencing Spring and New Life in your soul and the restoration of Hope in your heart. Irene Gould – Pastor, Stawell Baptist Church

Help to get ‘back on track’ W

immera Regional Sports Assembly has appointed three COVID project co-ordinators designed to help strengthen clubs coming out of the pandemic.

Young Wimmera sporting enthusiasts Mitch Martin, Laelah Robertson and Mikayla Smith have taken on the six-month roles and will approach clubs for ‘guided conversations’. As part of the role, the trio will support volunteers who have additional responsibilities due to COVID-19; support volunteers to navigate ‘return to play’ advice, including member engagement to increase confidence; and support clubs to consider new approaches and run activities that support disadvantaged communities and under-represented cohorts. Mr Martin, who plays football for Horsham Saints and basketball for Horsham Hornets, said he was excited about his new role. “I’m very keen for the next six months of working at the Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly, by getting out and about and helping the local clubs get through COVID,” he said. “I’m very passionate about helping people and hopefully I

Ms Smith, who has a bachelor’s

degree in sports coaching and science from Victoria University in Melbourne, said she was excited to help people get ‘back on track’. “I look forward to getting into contact with the community so be

expecting to hear from me over the coming weeks,” she said. People can call the assembly on 5382 4599 to speak with a COVID project co-ordinator.

Jannik Blair’s hopes of Paralympic ‘redemption’ have been dashed by Japan’s wheelchair basketball team. Blair, of Horsham, was a key part of the Australian Rollers’ Tokyo Paralympics team, considered a medal chance heading into the competition. The Rollers had their sights set on a strong Tokyo campaign following a sixth-placed finish at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Blair competed in Rio and was also part of Australia’s silver-medal-winning wheelchair basketball team in London in 2012. He was hoping to go one better in Tokyo, but the home side bundled the Australians out of medal contention in the quarter final. The Japanese outfit took advantage of its more-fancied opponent’s wayward shooting to triumph 61-55. Japan made it through to the gold medal match, falling short of USA in a thriller, 60-64. Great Britain claimed bronze, getting the better of Spain 68-58. Despite not making it through to the final day of play, the Rollers finished their campaign on a high note, defeating Turkey 74-58 to secure fifth place.

Wimmera talent on show

orsham’s Jake Lloyd has claimed runner-up honours in this year’s Sydney Swans’ Bob Skilton Medal count.

The medal is awarded to the AFL club’s best and fairest player. Co-captain Tom Parker won the accolade on 543 points and now joins an illustrious group of club ‘legends’ to nab the award three times, including Adam Goodes, Josh Kennedy and Gerard Healy. Lloyd, who won the club champion award in 2020 and 2018, picked up 504 points this season to collect the Adam Goodes Trophy. Jordan Dawson finished on 502 points to win the Peter Bedford Trophy for third place, with Tom Papley, 481, and Callum Mills, 475, rounding out the top five. Lloyd joined the Swans through the 2013 Rookie Draft and soon made his mark, becoming the quickest Swan in history to reach 100 AFL games. He won his first Bob Skilton Medal in 2018, after finishing runner up in the award in 2017. Warracknabeal’s Alex Morcom has also won recognition for an outstanding season, finishing runner-up in Essendon’s vote count for this year’s VFLW season. The consistent defender scored 242 votes, 17 behind versatile youngster Eloise Ashley-Cooper. In other AFL news, Edenhope’s

Tom McDonald is the only Wimmera export left in the 2021 finals race. His minor premier side Melbourne will meet Geelong at Optus Stadium in Perth in a preliminary final on Friday night. The Cats advanced to the preliminary final with a one-point semifinal win over Brisbane Lions at the weekend, ending Horsham’s Jarrod Berry’s chance for a premiership.

Wimmera success

While community sport is currently banned in Victoria under COVID-19 restrictions, Wimmera footballers have been chasing success in other states. Horsham’s Kye Chapple has won another AFL Cairns leading goalkicker accolade, booting 79 goals for Port Douglas Crocs in the 2021 home-and-away season. Chapple won the same award in three consecutive years from 2016 to 2018, after relocating to Queensland. The Crocs will meet Cairns City Lions on Saturday for a chance to advance to the grand final. Cairns Saints has already pencilled in its spot in the decider after defeating the Crocs by 58 points in the second semi-final. Horsham’s Ally Janetzki is also tasting success in Queensland, with her Noosa Tigers outfit winning the QFAW – Queensland Football As-

Morcom won runner-up honours in this year’s best-andfairest count. sociation Women’s – division-two grand final at the weekend. The Tigers scored 4.4 (28) to triumph over Ipswich Eagles, 1.4 (10) to claim back-to-back flags. Former Horsham Saints best and fairest and premiership player Sam Jasper will also vie for premiership glory, in the men’s counterpart, QAFL. Jasper’s Broadbeach Cats will con-

test the grand final on September 18 after upsetting minor premier Labrador in the second semi-final. In South Australia, former Noradjuha-Quantong footballer Dusty Cross is celebrating a Kangaroo Island Football League premiership. Cross kicked three goals and was named second best in Wisanger A Grade’s 25-point win over Western Districts, 12.13 (85) to 8.12 (60).

Money for sports clubs Wimmera sporting groups have shared in more than $30,000 in Energy Safe Victoria funding to make canteens safer. Dimboola Sporting Club, $849, Taylors Lake Football Netball Club, $1000, and Warrack Eagles Football Netball Club, $696, are among 32 grassroots clubs to win grants of up to $1000. The money is to replace old, unsafe and energy inefficient fridges, bain maries, stoves, pie warmers, steamers and fryers. Energy Safe Victoria chair Marnie Williams said the Safer Canteens grants program promoted energy safety at a grassroots level, highlighting risks such as: Electrocutions caused by non-electricians trying to do their own electrical work; fires caused by poorly maintained barbecue gas bottles; and carbon monoxide poisoning caused by faulty openflued gas heaters. “ESV’s priority has always been taking action to protect Victorians from safety risks. I am so proud to be able to do that and invest in communities at the same time,” she said. ESV and AFL Victoria will also open nominations for clubs to celebrate their unsung Canteen Heroes – the canteen volunteers – until September 20. The organisations will award a $1000 grant to the winner’s football-netball club canteen for new gas or electrical equipment. People can visit esv.vic.gov.au/safer canteens to nominate a Canteen Hero.

League awards season’s best BY SARAH MATTHEWS

previous Dellar Medal winner and a competition newcomer are the toast of Horsham District Football Netball League after winning premier individual accolades in close counts on Monday night.

Swifts captain Scott Carey and Laharum midcourter Olivia Jones topped the league’s senior football and A Grade netball vote counts respectively, albeit in different fashion this year. To combat COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings, league officials joined forces with ACE Radio to present the 2021 vote counts online, in addition to the traditional radio broadcast. Carey, who won his first Dellar Medal in 2017, polled 18 votes throughout the 12-round season – cut short due to COVID-19 lockdowns – to win by the slimmest of margins over HarrowBalmoral’s Simon Close, 17. Simon’s brother Michael Close and Dylan Bates, Natimuk United, tied for third on 16 votes, with Bates collecting the best under-21 player accolade. Carey, who livestreamed the count via The Weekly Advertiser’s YouTube page, said his Dellar Medal win was ‘definitely a surprise’. “I didn’t think we won enough games to take home a league best and fairest, but I seemed to poll well in some of the losses,” he said. “I watched it at home with my partner Michaela, we put it on the TV, which was quite nice.” Carey, a prolific and hardworking midfielder, collected votes in eight matches, including four best-onground performances. “It was hugely exciting to win,” he said. “I put a fair bit of effort into my football and into the football club, so to get some recognition like this is always nice.” Carey, 32, said although the stop-

start nature of the season was frustrating, it potentially had a silver lining. “I injured my PCL – a grade-two tear – in early August last year,” he said. “It was always a nine-month injury, which put me right at the start of the season. “Our coach Brett Hargreaves is an exercise physiologist and he worked with me through the process to make sure come April, I was right to go. “I was always a bit behind but the lockdowns helped me catch up.” Carey paid tribute to the league for pushing through a challenging year and congratulated fellow winners, including Jones and Close. “Simon is a terrific footballer and an outstanding bloke and it’s an honour to be up there with him,” he said. Jones polled 20 votes from seven of a possible 11 matches – including six best-on-court performances – to triumph in the A Grade count. Early leader Elizabeth Hawker – who excelled in defence for Kaniva-Leeor United during the club’s debut Horsham District season – earned runner-up honours on 17 votes, with Harrow-Balmoral goal shooter Kirby Knight, 14, third, also in her first year in the competition. Knight’s team-mate Olivia Muldoon was best under-21 player on 11 votes. Jones was also honoured to win the A Grade trophy in her first season in the competition. “I’ve known some quality players who have won this in the past,” she said. “It’s a bit unreal to have won, but I certainly feel very honoured, that’s for sure.” Jones originally intended to join the Demons last year, after four years with Horsham Demons in Wimmera league, before the season was cancelled due to COVID-19. The Nhill College teacher said while her first game for Laharum ‘was a

League officials are waiting on State Government announcements before determining if and how a finals series can proceed.

Reserves

Officials continued online vote counts for the remaining senior grades last night. Only one vote separated the reserves football winner and runner-up, with Adam Leslie helping Swifts claim a seniors-reserves double. Leslie polled 16 votes in 11 matches to clinch the Ritchie Dunlop Memorial award ahead of Kalkee’s Brendan Hobbs. Hobbs finished five votes clear of the pack, with Brandon Ellis, NoradjuhaQuantong, Matt Whelan, Laharum, and Darcy Trotman, Harrow-Balmoral tied for third on 10 votes. The B Grade netball count was a thriller, with Taylors Lake defender Kaleisha McKerron and Harrow-Balmoral goalie Eliza Jagger tied on top of the table on 16 votes. The pair claimed a narrow one-vote victory over Noradjuha-Quantong defender Ellie McDonald and Kalkee goalie Jaymi O’Connor. Harrow-Balmoral goal shooter Amy Lewis was third on 14 votes. Two goalies shared in the C Grade spoils, with Kalkee’s Lisa Fulton and Louise Walton, Swifts, both polling 16 votes apiece. Pimpinio midcourter Mayci Porter was runner-up two votes behind, while third was a three-way tie between Erica Blake, Natimuk United, Emily Humphries, Laharum, and Delaney Bray, Noradjuha-Quantong. www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Dylan Bates collected the best under-21 player accolade.

Bray’s club-mate Breanna Stonehouse was the toast of the C Reserve count, topping the ladder with 15 votes. Goalies dominated the C Reserve count in 2021, with runners-up Penny Dunstan, Harrow-Balmoral, and Janie Wilde, Pimpinio, also handy under the ring. The pair finished on 12 votes each, with third-placed Monique Emmett, Natimuk United, and Grace Turner, Rupanyup, polling 11 apiece. The league has been announcing winners of other awards, usually presented in person, via social media. Edenhope-Apsley’s Jeremy Kealy won the senior football best opposition player accolade. Fellow Saint Dulcie Shirrefs won the A Grade netball best opposition

player award alongside A Grade best and fairest Jones. Leading goal-kicker awards went to Rupanyup’s Jack Musgrove, seniors, 55 goals, and Noradjuha-Quantong’s Shane Oakley, reserves, 70. Noradjuha-Quantong Football Netball Club was named club champion for the 2021 season. Ararat Auskick coach Michael Jennings is Wimmera Mallee Coaches Association coach of the year, while Rupanyup’s Calinda Hurley is administrator of the year. Horsham District Football Netball League will livestream junior football and netball vote counts on its Facebook page tonight.
