MOO-VING DISPLAY: River Chatfield, 4, showcases this year’s edition of the Chatfield family’s annual Christmas hay bale display at Pomonal. River’s uncle Tim Chatfield said he was pleased to play a role in continuing a family tradition started by his daughters, Heidi and Chelsea Chatfield, a decade ago. “It’s something we’ve been doing for the past 10 years, to bring a bit of festive spirit coming into Christmas time,” he said. “Each year we come up with a different theme and this is one of the many displays that we’ve done.” Mr Chatfield said the display, which this year features a cow pulling a broken-down John Deere tractor, was a drawcard for tourists in the area. “When people drive out here to Lake Fyans or the Grampians they stop and make comments, and a lot of photos get taken. It’s good,” he said. “As you can see, there’s a fair bit of work involved. But we feel very lucky, because we got the hay from the farm from this year’s harvest and it’s put a smile on the children’s faces.” Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

‘You’ll fall in love’ BY SARAH MATTHEWS

cclaimed Australian actor Eric Bana believes people need to spend some time in the Wimmera-southern Mallee – rather than just passing through – to fully appreciate the beauty of its landscape and its people.

Bana was familiar with the region’s layout thanks to motorcycle trips throughout the years, but it was not until he temporarily relocated to Warracknabeal to film The Dry in early 2019 that it truly got under his skin. “There were some towns that I

hadn’t been to, which I really enjoyed seeing for the first time,” he told The Weekly Advertiser. “I love the landscape and the silo artwork was beautiful. “One of the things we enjoyed most about staying out there – instead of just driving through – was experiencing all the beautiful sunrises and sunsets in that landscape. “I think if you were driving through there on a 43-degree day and everything’s brown… it’s maybe not as appealing. “But when you stay there and see all

that it has to offer, that’s when you fall in love with the place. “It really got under our skin and we’ve been talking about it ever since.” Bana and director Robert Connolly will return to the region tomorrow for special screenings of the film at Horsham Centre Cinema, weeks before it opens nationally on January 1. The pair also helped produce the movie and played a key role in determining filming locations. At the heart of The Dry – an adaptation of Jane Harper’s award-winning

crime novel of the same name – was finding the perfect location for Kiewarra, the fictional drought-stricken hometown of Federal Agent Aaron Falk, played by Bana. Falk returns home after an absence of more than 20 years to attend the funeral of his childhood friend, who allegedly murdered his wife and child before taking his own life. Falk opens up an old wound – the decades-old, unsolved death of a teenage girl. Connolly, whose previous credits include award-winning films Balibo

and Paper Planes, said the Wimmerasouthern Mallee provided the perfect setting for Kiewarra, and was ‘exactly how Jane Harper describes it in the book’. “We did a roadtrip out there very early on, when we became involved, right through the area we filmed in,” he said. “It’s quite an extraordinary landscape.” Bana added the area’s remoteness was what made it so special, and was an important aspect of the film.

Relisting of platypus is ‘crucial’ A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

State Government move to relist a nationally significant species as ‘threatened’ has prompted a Wimmera land management authority to double down on conservation planning.

Wimmera Catchment Management Authority is looking into funding options to start long-term strategic planning to protect platypus in the region. Ecologists have identified the Wimmera population as a ‘crucial’ piece of the puzzle in providing data on the species, which led to state relisting and helped researchers build a case for a national relisting. The Wimmera homes an ‘isolated’ population of the species at McKenzie Creek in the lower reaches of the region. The management authority stressed genetic diversity of the population was in decline, making it ‘extremely vulnerable’. Biodiversity project officer Ben Holmes said the CMA was investigating options to translocate additional

platypus to McKenzie Creek to stem possible interbreeding and ensure its survival in the region. “Some recent work we’ve done around the genetics shows there is very low genetic diversity in the population,” he said. “We’re now considering what our options are in terms of improving that population of platypus. “One option is translocation, or genetic rescue, which means bringing new animals into that location.” Mr Holmes said due to the vulnerability of the population at McKenzie Creek, the management authority would also consider reintroducing the species to another part of the Wimmera River. He said waterways between Dimboola and Taylors Lake, where water quality was high, presented potential habitats for the animal. But he said further investigation was needed to identify the most viable location. “We need to investigate where the best site is that can provide the most

appropriate habitat, enough invertebrates in the river for them to feed on and enough riparian vegetation so they can dig burrows,” he said. “We’re developing a plan and throwing all ideas at the whiteboard at the moment. “We’ll have to throw together a cohesive plan and get that approved by the relevant authorities and then go from there.” Mr Holmes said if the management authority was successful in its conservation work, it could provide a template for other parts of Victoria and Australia. “It’s not just an issue here, it’s right across Victoria and Australia we are seeing the populations declining,” he said. “We see this as a great opportunity to provide a test-case scenario as to how the regions could potentially go about recovering platypus in their systems.”

Bigger picture

Platypus reclassification was announced earlier this month after the Scientific Advisory Committee made

its final recommendation to Energy, Environment and Climate Change minister Lily D’Ambrosio. Additionally, the University of New South Wales and a coalition of conservation groups requested the Federal Government relist the species nationally after research found the platypus lost nearly a quarter of its habitat in the past 30 years. CESAR ecologist Josh Griffiths, who researches the Wimmera’s population closely, said habitat loss across the country was a solid reason to list the species as threatened on a national level. He said data collected on the Mckenzie Creek population in the past 10 years helped scientists build a case to the federal and state governments for the relisting. “The Wimmera is one of few regions where we have long-term data, which helped with reclassification in Victoria and nationally,” he said. “It’s the only remaining population in the entire catchment. Their survival is absolutely critical because there is

no other viable population anywhere else in that region.” Mr Griffiths said the relisting would likely mean more funding would become available to help protect the species. “Having them listed means there will be more funding available, and it means all land and water authorities have to consider the platypus in all their management actions,” he said. “Platypus are at a stage where they’re still pretty widespread, we’ve got pretty good numbers, but we need to be implementing things now to be securing their future before it gets to the point where, like the orange-belly parrot, there’s only 30 left in the wild. “If that population disappears, platypus becomes extinct in the Wimmera. “The only way they could get back in there is through reintroduction, which is horrendously expensive, requires a lot of monitoring and is often unsuccessful. “They often disappear from a region for a reason, and if we don’t correct that reason they will disappear again.”

‘Wonderful’ region From page 1 “Basing ourselves in Warracknabeal and having access to all the satellite towns enabled us to create a Kiewarra out of all the best elements from the region, and that is essentially a character in the film,” Bana said. “We wanted it to be a part of regional Victoria that regional Victorians would identify with, not some sort of mystical made-up thing that doesn’t really resonate.” Connolly said support from individuals and organisations early on in discussions helped seal the deal. “It was a pretty welcoming community,” he said. “We based ourselves in Warracknabeal because it was central. We’d go up to Beulah one day and down to Minyip the next. “We filled every hotel we could, but a lot of the locals – when they heard we were coming and that it would be good for the economy of the town and we’d be spending money there – moved out of their houses and stayed with a friend. “I stayed with two of the other crew in a house that was owned by a young family who had moved out to let us stay.” Bana also paid tribute to the residents who helped make the film a reality.

“We literally couldn’t have done it – we honestly couldn’t – without the people who were willing to rent out their homes,” he said. “The film could not have been made in that region. So we are really thankful for all the people who did that and we’d like to give them a shout out.” Bana and Connolly’s excitement about their hard work coming to fruition, and the opportunity to share it with the people who helped make it happen, was evident when they sat down with The Weekly Advertiser ahead of tomorrow’s event. The Horsham cinema will host an afternoon screening as a ‘thank you’ to the community, along with a red carpet event in the evening. Connolly said people would see the Wimmera-Mallee in a way they had never seen it before. “The area we filmed in, I don’t think films have actually shot in that area. So, to capture that world in a big cinematic way is exciting,” he said. “We also filmed up in Hopetoun and across in Jeparit, and right through that area. I think for a local up there, it’ll be a fun jigsaw puzzle of locations, when they see the film. “There are a lot of extras, such as the boy who plays Gretchen’s son – there are some locals who are quite prominent in the film.”

A TASTE OF HOLLYWOOD: Eric Bana, as Federal Agent Aaron Falk, left, and Keir O’Donnell, as Sergeant Greg Raco, film a scene for The Dry in the Wimmera-Mallee in March, 2019. Bana and director Robert Connolly will attend special screenings of the film in Horsham tomorrow. Both Bana and Connolly were hopeful showcasing the landscape to a national audience on the big screen would attract tourists to the region. Bana said they would do ‘all we can to give it a shout out’, highlighting the Silo Art Trail in particular. “I’ve been talking about it a lot, actually,” he said.

“It’s pretty special and unique and I think Australians are really good at going out of their way for something they think is really special and unique. “I think it’s a case that if people know about it, they’ll be more than happy to divert four hours. “People will be talking like, ‘Have you seen the silo near Hopetoun? Well

if you haven’t seen that one, you’re missing out’.” • Tomorrow’s events are closed to the public but people can visit The Weekly Advertiser, 101.3 Mixx FM or 1089 3WM Facebook pages for the chance to win a double pass to the 4.45pm screening. The Dry opens nationally on January 1.

Clean-up continues after tornado A

BY DEAN LAWSON

major clean-up continues in Horsham as a result of a sudden and intense tornado that ripped a path through the northern reaches of the Wimmera city.

Horsham Rural City Council has completed structural assessments of buildings damaged during the brief but destructive event and is providing kerbside collection and clean-up help for people with affected properties. The council is also providing a first point of call for people needing social and emergency housing support provided by Uniting Wimmera. Council infrastructure director John Martin said surveyors had completed a structural-damage assessment of buildings and the pressing need now was for repairs and a clean-up process. “There is going to be a fair amount of repair work needed to sheds, fences and roofing, and while much of it is fixable, the process will be quite frustrating to many people,” he said. Mr Martin said council crews had been out since early morning on Monday, only hours after the EF1 tornado, generating winds speeds of between 132 and 177kph, suddenly developed in Horsham. “Crews have spent a lot of time removing fallen trees, branches and other debris,” he said. “While much of the repair and rubbish removal can be covered by household insurance, the council is working on arrangements to help in the removal of collections from impacted residents. “There are fallen or cut-down branches, damaged housing and fenc-

times, especially this close to Christmas, and we must focus on them.” Mr Martin said people cleaning up and placing material on kerbside for collection needed to separate vegetation from hard material and carefully wrap dangerous items such as broken glass. “People particularly need to be careful with anything that might include asbestos,” he said. “It is very hard to tell the difference

between fibre and asbestos cement by simply looking at. In this case it is best to assume anything like this is asbestos.” The council has advised people with hazardous waste, including broken glass and asbestos, to firstly contact their insurance agent or landlord. They can then notify the council on 5382 9777. Mr Martin said the council was the go-to agency for people with any

IN TIMES OF NEED: Nourish’d business owner Stewart Neighbour will provide free meals and coffee for storm-affected Horsham residents for the rest of this week. “I’ve seen how affected the Horsham community is and I’ve got an opportunity to help out. I would like to do that,” he said. Mr Neighbour said a family friend donated $500 to go towards the cause. “I’ve been inundated with support over the matter. I think this is why people want to be in regional Victoria, because we all band together in times of need.”

questions about structural safety issues caused by the tornado. “In the weeks ahead people can talk to the council, especially if they had significant structural damage,” he said. “For some, there might be opportunities for concession rates adjustment based on property re-evaluation.” Tornados are rare in the Wimmera but occasionally occur and have caused damage in the past. The Bureau of Meteorology confirmed Monday morning’s event was brief and intense. Meteorologist Diane Eadie said the entire event was likely to have occurred in less time than it takes to boil a kettle – about a minute or so. “It was not associated with a thunderstorm. It was associated with a very intense shower with a cold, windy and unstable air mass moving across the area,” she said. Victorian State Emergency Service operations chief officer Tim Wiebusch added SES crews responded to almost 100 requests for help, with 76 relating to building damage. He said the wind also threw around loose items such as trampolines. “It is a timely reminder that this time of the year is storm season. We can see these freak events occur right across any parts of Victoria when the conditions are right. We certainly saw that just before 1am,” he said. “People need to secure loose objects around their homes and make sure that outdoor settings, umbrellas and those sort of things don’t become missiles in these storms.”

It’s just so hard to get noticed! The Weekly Advertiser

s it simply a case of neglect, ignorance or political bloody mindedness?

Efforts to get the faraway governments to take serious notice of anything in Victoria’s far west are never simple and always exhaustive. Just how hard must we hit the drum to get the powers that be to hear the noise and take notice? The fight seems to be never-ending and continues because Victorians have a deep-seated belief they are entitled to the same services as anyone else, regardless of where they live. We’ve been banging on about a need for a return to a regular and reliable domestic rail service that connects the Wimmera to Melbourne for what seems an eternity. And the need is amplifying with every discussion about regional growth and development and ways to seize opportunities in a socio-economic rebound against the COVID-19 pandemic. How many case studies do we need? How many collective efforts, deputations, letters, emails, campaigns must we rustle up to have a convincing argument? A consistent dismissive response borders on bizarre, rekindling a long-held belief in many that the region is governed more

on political than practical lines. Here is a challenge for our political leaders based in Melbourne. Get in a car and go for a return drive to Nhill. And remember to leave your driver at home – no one else has that luxury. It’s a fair drive isn’t it? Feel okay because you know the Overland train is an option? Just remember the timing might not fit in with when you want to get back home. But passenger rail and transport generally seems to represent only the tip of the iceberg of this sniff-away attitude to a sizeable chunk of the state. We’re also seeing this have an impact on public health services, another critical element that will determine regional direction. At the moment we’re seeing the management board of the Wimmera’s main health service, of all things, exploring a merger with a Ballarat counterpart in an effort to overcome service shortfalls.

If there is a serious problem – and there obviously is and has been for a while – to provide specialist services to people in a state the size of Victoria, that is a responsibility of government. And the health-service merger? The big question in this instance is not whether it should happen, but why it has reached a stage that it needs serious consideration. Sure, our region has the odd win. Almost $20-million went to a Warracknabeal education precinct project – but only after spirited campaign and the onset of a pandemic. We all know that you can shut up hungry dogs by throwing them the odd bone. We need only travel to the metropolitan and suburban sprawl encircling and expanding from Port Phillip Bay, and consider how many people that represents, to understand how easily it is for the Wimmera-Mallee to be a governance afterthought. But we’re still Victorians in a region loaded with promise and opportunity. It would also be fascinating to compare how we stack up as a region when comparing wealth generation for the state. We’re not on some faraway island territory – just far enough away to need help with greater socio-economic connectivity.

Gifts for everyone this Christmas

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

244 Barkly St, Ararat

Lay-by a thing of the past

SIR, – As a child in the 1980s, ‘lay-by’ was one method my parents taught me to save money towards something bigger that I really wanted. I could squander my pocket money on lollies or put it towards Lego or a microscope. Along with the ‘bigger thing’ I had a sense of achievement, and I learned to value every dollar, as well as the items I purchased. I tried teaching my own children about lay-by, only to discover that Target and friends had introduced lay-by charges as a way to milk money. But sometimes you could ‘lay-by for free’ and pick up Christmas Eve. Today I asked to lay-by from a small, independent, local, family business. You know, the businesses the government at all levels tell us to ‘reach out to and support’. The owner-operator informed me they weren’t allowing lay-by this year, due to people taking advantage of it. People were lay-buying, then buying online or out of town and at the last minute cancelling the original lay-by and demanding their non-refundable deposits to be refunded – too late to sell the items to people who really needed them as gifts for the 25th. I paid. I paid cash and I’ll buy food tomorrow. But with everything going wrong in 2020, it appears to be too much for people, not to shaft small business over a courtesy service not offered by the big guys. Bernard Quince, Ararat

Spread some joy

niting Wimmera is encouraging residents to dig deep this Christmas and donate to families doing it tough.

The service provider is promoting its annual ‘Gifts for Families’ appeal, where residents can donate toys and gifts for children in need in disadvantaged families. Uniting Wimmera executive officer Josh Koenig said the appeal was an opportunity to provide a positive boost for families who struggled to afford gifts during the Christmas period. “We are determined that no one is going to go without a gift this Christmas,” he said. “For us, being able to put smiles on the faces of families and pro-

vide gifts to deserving children and young people is so rewarding. “We encourage individuals and families, community groups, schools and workplaces to support Gifts for Families and help us make sure there are gifts under every Christmas tree in our community.” Mr Koenig said the COVID-19 pandemic had presented a major challenge for families in the region. “The impact of job losses and the extended lockdown has stretched many family budgets to breaking point,” he said. “While life as we knew it had stopped during lockdown, the bills didn’t. Whether it’s rent,

gas, electricity, water or putting food on the table and fuel in the car, we know people have been really struggling.” Donations from community members can be made at Uniting’s office at 185 Baillie Street, Horsham; Toyworld Horsham; Country Essentials Warracknabeal; and Bank of Melbourne Horsham branch. “We thank the organisations who have already committed their support this year, including Wimmera Health Care Group, GWMWater and Anytime Fitness,” Mr Koenig said. To learn more about the appeal people can call Uniting Wimmera on 5362 4000.

Campaign to minimise litter The state’s peak environmental watch-dog has called on the community to help minimise the effect of litter and pollution on popular tourist destinations. Environment Protection Authority Victoria has launched a new campaign in response to an expected flood of people to iconic tourist areas after a long lockdown period. The campaign includes parts of the Wimmera-Mallee, especially the Grampians, which are traditionally popular with summer holiday-makers. EPA chief executive Dr Cathy Wilkinson said communities were the key to avoiding litter-

ing and pollution problems that might arise from an influx of visitors. “With some of the state’s iconic camping destinations now open for bookings and many people gathering outdoors over the warmer months of the year, it’s a timely reminder that every Victorian has a responsibility for the waste they produce and dispose of,” she said. “Littering not only poses environmental and health risks, it drains money from vital public services such as maintaining our parks. “Be the solution and help protect the health of our community

and environment by signing up to report littering today.” Victorians can report littering from a vehicle to EPA via the EPA website, www.epa.vic.gov. au, EPA Report Litter App or the 24-hour hotline on 1300 372 842. EPA receives about 20,000 reports of littering each year and works closely with government, industry and community to use intelligence and surveillance to target offenders. Littering is against the law with fines of up to $330 for a small piece of litter and $661 for a lit cigarette or burning litter.

Wishing tree returns A Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal is back in Horsham Kmart with shoppers again having the opportunity to donate gifts to the annual cause. The campaign, in partnership with the Salvation Army, is the largest and longest-running Christmas gift appeal in Australia, raising money and collecting gifts for struggling members of the community. This year the effort has particular significance considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the pandemic, more than three-million Australians were living under the poverty line.

Horsham Kmart store has a donation goal of more than 1000 presents each year, which it regularly achieves, an effort that continually reflects the generosity of the Wimmera community. People can buy gifts and make donations for anyone of any age. People can make donations in the form of a gift placed under the tree, through in-store transactions or online at www.kmart.com.au/kmartwishingtree. Nationally, the appeal has passed on more than eight-million donated gifts to people in need. The appeal runs until December 24.

Group to target life-saving unit

machine with the potential to save the life of newborn infants is the next item on Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham branch’s shopping list.

The branch has confirmed plans to raise more than $30,000 for the machine. It will use its 2021 Commissioner’s Dinner and Gala Event in February to generate funding momentum. It wants to buy a neonatal resuscitator unit for Wimmera Health Care Group. The health group has identified a need for the unit, designed to help babies born with breathing complications. The Blue Ribbon Horsham branch adopted the project after completing a three-year fundraising campaign to generate $100,000 for Wimmera Cancer Centre last year. It completed the effort with a final instalment of $16,500 after last year’s ball. The Victoria Blue Ribbon Foundation recognises and perpetuates the memory of police officers who have died in the line of duty and recognises police commitment and work. It does this by supporting important community projects, often surrounding health services. Horsham branch’s 2021 ball will be at Horsham Golf Club on February 13. Branch secretary Kelly Schilling said the event, after a long lockdown period due to the COVID-19 pandemic, would come as a welcome and meaningful night of entertainment. “As in previous years we will have a special guest speaker, an auction and plenty of other fun activities,” she said. “Importantly, this will be our first big

2021 fundraising event, with support from businesses and community, to raise money for the resuscitating unit. It’s for a great cause and we’re confident the generosity of the Horsham community will help us easily reach our target. “Last year was extremely successful for us. We had a gala ball before the pandemic and, obviously, like everyone else, had concerns about whether our 2021 event would go ahead. But now, we’re confident it is going to happen and will be a great success.” Ms Schilling said it was important people continued to understand and support the commitment of police officers and to reflect on the role they played in maintaining a safe environment. “Police members are everyday people and part of our community. Yet they shoulder enormous responsibilities and regularly put their physical and mental health on the line, let alone their lives,” she said. “They are in the job for us all and we must acknowledge their important contribution to our society. What better way to do this than use this acknowledgement as an opportunity to support the acquisition of much-needed community assets.” Ms Schilling urged people to ‘stay tuned’ on social media pages and follow major sponsors The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM for ticketing and further information. They can also forward ticket inquiries to brfhorsham@ gmail.com. Tickets are $70 a person with a discounted rate for tables of eight or 10. Ms Schilling added people could make a donation any time by visiting www.just giving.com/campaign/horsham-blueribbon-foundation.

Reindeer Food Shop changes hands A 12-year tradition will continue, albeit in a new location, after three Horsham brothers handed over the reins of their Christmas-themed business to a new owner. Nathan, Mitchell and Heath Warrick have passed the Reindeer Food Shop onto former customer Sienna Manserra, 11. Nathan, 18, said it was time to move on. “I started doing the reindeer shop when I was in kindergarten and Mitchell and Heath joined soon after,” he said. “Heath has been running the

shop by himself for the past two years and we thought it was time to hand it over to someone else.” The boys raised, on average, about $500 a year, with half the profits going to cystic fibrosis research and the other half to pocket money and savings. Sienna, a grade-five student at Ss Michael and John’s Primary School, said she was honoured to take over the shop. “I’m looking forward to it, it’s very exciting,” she said. The young entrepreneur is no stranger to running a business and has her own market stall.

“I sell personalised bottles, cups and keychains – it’s good actually, quite fun,” she said. Nathan offered Sienna sage advice on running the reindeer shop. “You just have to keep your morale up and remember you’re bringing a little bit of Christmas cheer to people,” he said. The Reindeer Food Shop is now located in Brigid Court, off Menadue Street, in Horsham. Bags cost $1 each and 50 percent of proceeds will continue to go to cystic fibrosis research.

A sense of fulfilment

ong-term Horsham resident and centenarian Edna Braune claims there are no secrets to living a long and happy life.

But she is adamant it is key to relish every year, cherish time with friends and family and make the most of every day. Family members joined Mrs Braune on Thursday to celebrate her birthday, marking her 100th revolution around the sun. “I haven’t any secrets of how to get this far – just take every day as it comes,” Mrs Braune said. “I don’t feel any different to when I was 99 last year.” Mrs Braune was born at Nhill and raised at Tarranginnie, west of the town, in a railway house. She said she still had memories of what life was like in the 1920s and early ’30s with her mother and father. “Mum worked at the post office that was in the railway station,” she said. “And in those days, it wasn’t silos for storing wheat it was the big wheat stacks, massive ones.” Mrs Braune left school at the age of 14 to start work before going on to meet her first husband at the start of the Second World War. “We got married at the beginning of the war and went to Melbourne to live,” she said. “We stayed in the city all through the war and then went back to Horsham.” Now, Mrs Braune ‘lives each day and enjoys life’ in MEMORABLE: Edna Braune, centre, celebrates her 100th birthday with her children Horsham. Clem Duldig and Careen Keyte.

MPs maintain roles Liberal Member for Ripon Louise Staley and Nationals Member for Lowan Emma Kealy have shored up their positions in Victoria’s shadow cabinet. The pair maintained its portfolios as Opposition Leader Michael O’Brien announced changes to his executive team at the halfway point of the state’s parliamentary term. Ms Staley will continue as shadow treasurer and shadow minister for economic development and Ms Kealy keeps shadow ministries of mental health, prevention of family violence and women. Mr O’Brien confirmed at the weekend that former leader Matthew Guy would join the Shadow Cabinet as Finance, Jobs and Trade and Business Precincts. In other changes, he also appointed Cindy McLeish to take on the portfolios of Tourism, Major Events and Sport and handed the shadow Education portfolio to David Hodgett. David Morris moves to a newly created portfolio of Shadow Minister for Public Sector Integrity and Transparency and responsibility for broader anti-corruption agencies such as IBAC and the Victorian Ombudsman remains with the Shadow Special Minister of State Kim Wells. Gordon Rich-Phillips takes on responsibility for Government Services, Regulatory Reform and the Digital Economy and Ryan Smith adds Manufacturing and Innovation to his responsibilities for Energy and Renewables and Resources.

Students provide ‘pure joy’ for seniors An orchestration of young people singing Christmas carols in a socially-distanced performance was enough to get seniors ‘jiving in their seats’. Horsham Ss Michael and John’s Primary School year-five students lined the fence outside Wimmera Health Care Group’s Kurrajong Lodge to sing carols to up to 30 residents in a COVIDsafe performance. Performing arts teacher Penni Abbot said the school’s efforts were part of a ‘happiness project’ to give back to the Horsham community. “We needed to spread Christmas joy for the elderly residents in whatever way we possibly could with COVID restrictions,” she said. “The seniors’ response was that of pure joy – they were jiving in their seats and were literally

physically and emotionally happy.” Mrs Abbott said the performance provided a ‘memorable’ experience for the students. “The joy from my students has been overwhelming – there were tears in the kids’ eyes because they were so proud of themselves to see that singing could make such an impact on someone’s day,” she said. “I really hope by doing this they take away the lesson to treat everyone with respect and kindness, no matter what age they are. It also shows them professional opportunities for later in life.” Mrs Abbott said the school planned to perform again for seniors at Wimmera Nursing Home in Horsham on Friday.

Travel plans for river fish T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he Wimmera’s potential to expand as a recreational fishery is primed for a major boost with work underway to develop systems that allow fish to readily navigate through weirs.

Researchers have assessed weirs at Horsham, Dimboola and Jeparit during a trip to the region and are working on ways that could lead to fish moving hundreds of kilometres throughout the system. Creating fishways through the weirs might also establish an opportunity to create an environmental circumstance that encourages native perch and other species to breed and establish self-sustainable populations. Most yellowbelly, silver perch, Murray cod and introduced exotic trout that anglers catch in the Wimmera are traditionally the result of extensive stocking programs. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority is working with Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning aquatic ecologists Tim O’Connor and Ivor Stuart, based at

Arthur Rylah Institute, on the fishway concept. The ecologists’ primary reason for the visit to the region was to assess the functionality of a fishway established at Dad and Dave Weir on the Mackenzie River in 2009. But Wimmera CMA was also keen for them to ‘scope out’ fishway opportunities at weirs on the Wimmera River. Mr O’Connor said regular environmental flows, now occurring through the Wimmera River system because of water savings from the WimmeraMallee Pipeline, were a key to fishways working efficiently. “This is all linked to flowing water and with much more certainty about water flows as a result of the pipeline we can seriously start looking at fish passage throughout the system,” he said. “We can also scope out the potential for spawning opportunities of golden and silver perch and with a combination of wet years and environmental water we might be able to maintain self-sustaining populations through greater connectivity.” Dad and Dave Weir, much smaller

Wimmera CMA to work with before the end of the year,” Mr O’Connor said. Wimmera CMA chief executive David Brennan said the reality was that the species people often targeted when fishing were usually restricted in movement until major flooding. “We have a goal to strengthen the fish population in the Wimmera River and to have something that gives us an opportunity to manage a more flexible and robust system, especially in drought years,” he said. “Allowing native fish to have more freedom to move has an obvious by-product benefit for recreational fishing, which in turn improves the social asset of the river system for the many communities living along its reaches. “The fish people catch in the river if they are native, apart from catfish, are invariably bred in a hatchery. “This project might open the door for these types of species with tricky reproduction needs to become self-sustaining. “The idea is that it leads for a better and more consistent spread of fish across the Wimmera.”

than the Wimmera River structures, is in an area of the Mackenzie River rated as one of the best-quality freshwater environments in the region. Mr O’Connor said the functionality of an environmental fishway at the weir, designed to support fragile species such as blackfish, gudgeon and southern pygmy perch as well platypus, needed greater functionality. “It is a very special area. We’re retrofitting baffles using an innovative Australian cone fishway that uses very little water. It’s a pretty easy, low-cost fix,” he said. “The Wimmera River weirs are more about scoping out what will work best. There are many different types of fishways.”

Other species

Mr O’Connor said fishways could allow the movement of important smaller native fish such as Australian smelt and gudgeon, key elements in the aquatic food chain, as well as perch. He also added there were fishway designs and traps that could help in managing noxious carp. “We hope to get something to

Northern Grampians Shire Council has accepted the design concept for a new Lord Nelson Park multipurpose building in St Arnaud. The council accepted the Lord Nelson Park Multipurpose Pavilion Concept Plan and approved progression to the next stage of detailed design for construction during an online council meeting. MKM Constructions put forward the concept for the new building design following collaboration with Sport and Recreation Victoria to align the designs with key sporting guidelines. The design includes about 800 square metres of space for the new pavilion and includes movable doors for indoor-outdoor spaces, female-friendly changerooms, umpire rooms, massage room and a state-of-the-art canteen. Cr Tony Driscoll said he was pleased with the progress. “There is a great sense of excitement for our community,” he said. “These designs will make a wonderful addition to our community and we are looking forward to seeing it come together after the recent demolition of the former Tote Building.”

HELLO YOU! Horsham Rural City Council ranger Jason Brady checks the microchip of a dog. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Lost and found reminder Contacting Horsham Rural City Council remains the best way for people to ensure wandering pets can safely be returned to their owners. People who find a dog or cat out wandering can call the council on 5382 9777. If the dog or cat has no immediate identification, a ranger can check it for a microchip, and if it is microchipped, make contact with the owner. Community Safety Unit co-ordinator Scott Bastow said this would improve the chances of avoiding the animal being impounded and help with a speedy and safe return to the owner. He said if a dog or cat was registered, the council could easily identify the animal and in most instances, return it safely to its owner. “If it’s a pet’s first time at large, then there’s no fee for its safe return,” he said. Mr Bastow said the percentage of dogs and cats returned to their owners or re-housed had

increased considerably in recent years. He said this was possible because the vast majority of animals were now microchipped. “Registering, microchipping and having identification tags on a pet’s collar gives people the highest probability that their lost pets will be returned,” he said. “All of our officers are actually animal lovers and they play an active role in making sure that lost dogs and cats make it home safely. “They also work hard to find new homes for dogs that are unregistered or whose owners cannot be found.” Owners of domestic animals found unregistered, or who have not had their registration renewed for 2020, can be fined $322 per animal. People can advise if their pet has died or relocated by calling 5382 9777 or completing an online form at hrcc.vic.gov.au.

Kealy weighs in on delays Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has slammed the State Government for its handling of projects to expand Victoria’s forensic mental-health services. Ms Kealy, Victorian Opposition shadow minister for mental health, said the projects had been subject to extensive delays. She said this meant ‘desperately needed’ mental-health beds for prisoners or people at risk of offending were unavailable. “Under the Andrews Labor government, Victoria’s forensic mental-health system has been significantly underfunded and suffered a critical shortage of beds, meaning violent offenders with mental illness cannot be housed in the safe and specialised facility they need,” she said. “This is yet another example where Labor have demonstrated they are unable to deliver projects on time or on budget.” Ms Kealy was responding to a Parliamentary Accounts and Estimates Committee, PAEC, hearing that projects to expand capacity in forensic mental-health services had yet to happen. She said the government had promised to provide the services in 2019-20. “Forensic mental-health services provide assessment and treatment of people with a mental disorder and a history of criminal offending, or those who are at risk of offending,” she said. “Critical shortages of forensic mental-health beds have plagued the Andrews Labor government. “It’s now up to two years’ wait to serve custodial sentences in a forensic mental-health facility with up to 20 people on the waiting list.” Ms Kealy said the committee heard that three key projects had been subject to ‘significant’ delay. These included: • Forensic Mental Health Bed Based Services Expansion. • Forensic Mental Health Implementation Plan – Priority Service Reforms Footscray. • Thomas Embling Hospital 10 bed infill and SPICU.

Police trailer visit Victoria Police is launching a new mobile trailer it will use in crime-prevention and safety-awareness activities across western Victoria. Police will launch the Western Regional Rural Safety and Security Display trailer at Heathcote today before bringing it to community events across the region including in Horsham. A variety of Victoria Police members will use the trailer to present a professional and accessible face at regional shows, field days and other community events. The trailer is designed to help officers promote messages and engage with rural and semi-rural communities across areas including but not limited to crime prevention, personal safety, road safety, farm security and community safety. Heathcote Community House has donated the trailer, refurbished through grant money and community donations, to Victoria Police.

Recognition for Tepper

Men’s group at Willaura

ne of the Wimmera’s greatest sporting achievers has won recognition for his commitment to promoting sport and table tennis.

Table Tennis Australia has inducted Glenn Tepper, who grew up at Murtoa, into its hall of fame. He joins his sister and Olympian Kerri, who made the list in 2008. The Table Tennis Australia Hall of Fame recognises the outstanding achievements of Australia’s great players, coaches, officials and administrators across the course of history. It has so far inducted 25 people to the list. Glenn Tepper, despite being a former national representative in the sport, has joined the group as an administrator. Tepper had humble beginnings in the sport at Murtoa, playing on a home-made table in his garage with his siblings, under the guidance of their father Merv. From 1982 to 1991 he represented Australia, but it is his work as a distinguished administrator that is his defining legacy. Tepper began his career at Table Tennis Australia as national coaching director where he established a TTA Coach Accreditation System. He led national training camps and talent-identification programs that resulted in many players becoming national representatives, some going on to win international medals. Tepper then worked for International Table Tennis Federation Oceania as a development officer, where he created a pilot program

Hours Opening RI MON - F PM 9AM - 5 - 3PM SAT 9AM - 3PM SUN 9AM

HISTORY IN THE MAKING: Glenn Tepper, back, formerly of Murtoa, has been inducted into the Table Tennis Australia Hall of Fame. He joins his sister, Kerri, on the honours list, marking the first time multiple members of the same family have joined the hall of fame.

East Grampians Health Service will launch a Willaura Men’s Business group on Tuesday. Willaura Healthcare manager Chris McArthur said the group would support men to live independently in their own home, safely and positively for as long as possible. “Have the recent restrictions left you wanting to get out and make new friends or renew old friendships? Would you like to develop some new skills, learn what others around Willaura are up to and share a cuppa and a laugh? Then Willaura Men’s Business is for you,” she said. “The group will offer a sensitive environment catering to the needs of individuals attending and be supported by an East Grampians Health Service male staff member. We hope the group will assist men to keep connected and stay in touch with their local community.” Willaura Men’s Business will have a second session on December 22, at 10.30am at Willaura Bowling Club. EGHS will provide a community bus and a male co-ordinator in a COVID-safe environment. It will provide morning and afternoon tea for the cost of a gold coin donation. People can register their interest by calling Willaura Healthcare on 5354 1600 or emailing christine.mcarthur@eghs.net.au.

that was so successful, it became a precursor to being replicated worldwide. The program was recognised as the best development program of all sports by Oceania National Olympic Committee. Tepper worked for the ITTF for 20 years. Following on from his development officer role, he became development director and then deputy chief executive for eight years. His achievements included setting up a worldwide development program, a global coach-accreditation structure and to have every country on earth as a member.

He said at the time, that the last task was ‘more of a dream than a realistic goal but I took this very seriously and slowly added a few countries each year, providing technical equipment and support’. Table Tennis Australia chief executive Scott Houston said Tepper’s induction was due recognition. “Glenn has been an outstanding administrator who has displayed passion and an incredible work ethic for our sport and very much deserves this induction today,” he said. Houston also commented on the Tepper family creating history through this induction.

“Glenn’s sister Kerri was inducted into the hall of fame in 2008 as an athlete, making this a historic occasion. “It’s the first time multiple people from the same family have become Hall of Fame members.” Tepper said the induction was a ‘great honour’. “My journey was a long and interesting one,” he said. “Dad was a reasonable table tennis player who transferred his knowledge of tennis, successfully coaching his four children to national team level from a small town four hours from Melbourne.”

Driver to face charges A South Australian man, 32, will face various charges in Horsham Magistrate’s Court tomorrow after a police investigation into the death of a cyclist in Horsham almost 12 months ago. Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have charged the man with dangerous driving causing death, careless driving, failing to stop and failing to render assistance at an accident. The charges relate to an incident between a truck and a cyclist on Dimboola Road on December 19 last year. A 24-year-old Horsham cyclist died at the scene.

TANGIBLE CONTRIBUTION: Uniting Wimmera youth services officer Jaimie Clarkson discusses a volunteer project with Holy Trinity Lutheran College year-nine students Bethany Breuer and Caleb Di Biase. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Students unite to provide support E

BY DYLAN DE JONG

fforts to provide essential items to people in need are teaching Horsham students core values of volunteering in their community.

Holy Trinity Lutheran College year-nine students have co-ordinated a pie drive that raised $500 to help people experiencing homelessness across the region. The students then joined with Uniting Wimmera to assemble and donate ‘care packs’ of essential items such as hand sanitiser, shampoo and toothbrushes. Year-nine student Bethany Breuer, who helped cook the pies, said the fundraiser gave her insight into the lives of people who were struggling in the community. “It is important because if you were in their position you would thoroughly appreciate it as it would help you be more hygienic and just have a sense that people out there cared about you,” she said. “I learnt there are kids around the Wimmera who are struggling and aren’t in the best headspace and it showed how grateful we should be for our life.” Her peer Caleb Di Biase was among students who jumped in to help with the pie drive and assembling care packs. “As part of the ‘Live Learn Lead’ year-nine elective at Holy Trinity, our teacher got us to

do everything for the pie day and mentored us through it. We had to work together and communicate well to achieve what we did,” he said. He said volunteering his time showed him the importance of helping others. “It is important for us to use what we have to make other people’s lives better,” he said. “Lots of people who are in poverty have not done it to themselves, it is not their own fault and it is unfair that they are even in the situation that they are in. “We should help to get everyone back out of poverty.”

Engaged

Uniting Wimmera youth services officer Jaimie Clarkson, who taught the students about homelessness issues across the region, said students were fully engaged in the process, from raising the money to assembling and donating the packs. “This program has taken that a step further – the students stayed deeply engaged with the process,” she said. “They decided where they’d like their donation to go – they knew they wanted it to stay local, and they knew they didn’t want any of the funds to be swallowed by admin and other costs. “A process like this takes community service, awareness and connection to a deeper level, and these students know they are making a practical, tangible contribution.”

Study to set forest future

review to determine what action is required now and into the future to ‘protect, enjoy and use’ Victoria’s forests is underway after an agreement between state and federal governments. The Major Event Review will assess the significant impact of 201920 bushfires and what remedial action is needed to ensure appropriate forest management. The review is part of updated Regional Forest Agreements which the state or federal governments can jointly use when a significant environmental event, including a major bushfire, occurs. Both governments agreed on the Major Event Review after last summer’s bushfires and the signing of modernised Region Forest Agreements in March. The six-month review will assess the effect of the fires on forest biodiversity and forestry industries, as well as wider economic, social and cultural impacts. While most of last summer’s major bushfires were in the east of the state and south-east NSW, wilderness and parkland areas in the Wimmera-Mallee are regularly subject to major bushfires. An intense fire ignited by lightning strikes in the northern Grampians in January, 2014, devastated 53,000 hectares of bush and farmland. And

apart from the loss of life, livestock and property, the fire had a dramatic impact on forest and parkland wildlife. In comparison, the collective 201920 fires burnt about 1.5-million hectares across Victoria and impacted 1.3-million hectares or 18 percent of Victoria’s public native forest. An independent panel will lead the review, which will use scientific data and research along with knowledge from Traditional Owners, forest experts and community members. The panel membership will include the Victorian Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability, a Commonwealth-nominated member agreed to by Victorian authorities and a Traditional Owner member nominated by Victorian authorities. The State Government will shortly be seeking expressions of interest for the Traditional Owner candidate. The Major Event Review will also provide an opportunity for wider public consultation when officials release a summary report. The review will support a Victorian Forestry Plan designed to phase out native-timber harvesting by 2030 and transitional measures towards a ‘strong and sustainable’ plantation-based industry. Victorian Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the review would ensure the impacts of last summer’s bushfires were subject to considered assessment.

HEAD START: Shirlei Barnes of Stawell has briefly joined ACE Radio in Horsham for a study internship. The Weekly Advertiser asked Shirlei for her thoughts on her experiences.

Finding creativity in a world of language Language is that one thing that put me where I am today. I just didn’t know that an internship with ACE Radio in Horsham would be the catalyst to rekindle my creative brain and make peace with it. Here I am in my first day of the internship with head copywriter Adam Roche. He is handing me a client’s brief and explaining the process and what to do. To give me a head start he says, “It helps if you can hear the sounds of the scene you are creating.” And there I was, in my brain creating the scene, listening to the sounds and writing the content for a 30-second radio commercial. My mind felt free, and I humoured in possibilities while my brain exploded with the creativity I missed so much. It was the perfect nourishment for the mind. It started when I had to relearn to speak and write in a different language, when I moved from Brazil to Australia in 2004. Back then I thought I knew how to

speak English... how wrong I was. It has not been easy. It crashed my confidence to communicate and created deep-felt emotions that I face every day. When you learn a new language, it changes your perspective of the world. For me, the gap between pronunciation and writing left a bitter taste in my mouth. I had to address the language barrier so I hit the books and studied as much as I could. As a treat to myself I studied graphic design, the perfect gift to my heart. It helped me to engage the visual mind as I explored ways to communicate with graphics. But I wasn’t there yet, something was missing. ‘Here I am, almost 50 and still seeking what to do, what is wrong with me?’ That nagging voice inside my head never stopped, so in 2018 I enrolled in a communication and media-degree course with Swinburne Online with the excuse of consolidating all my studies.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but it made sense and kept that nagging voice at bay. After almost 100 assignments, I came to the end of my degree and had an option of doing an internship. I was able to secure the internship with ACE Radio in Horsham. I didn’t know what to expect, but I had one main goal, to experience the creative world in the field of communications. It’s midpoint in my internship, and I am learning to communicate in different ways, such as writing commercials. As I said, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and now here I am talking to you about my struggles with language, and the barriers that helped me to grow. I am glad I sent that first email that sealed the internship with ACE Radio. So, when you find yourself in that crossroad or listening to the nagging voice in your head, feed it with creativity – you will be glad you did. – Shirlei Barnes

Town Plan A Vision for the Future

Draft Stawell Structure Plan Stawell Structure Plan Vision Statement

What is the Draft Stawell Structure Plan?

In 2040, Stawell will be an enhanced gateway to the region, having grown through well-managed sustainable and climate resilient development that celebrates its history, heritage and environment. It will be a diverse, vibrant, and inclusive community that has built upon its high-quality community services and is well connected through sustainable modes of transport.

The Draft Stawell Structure Plan forms the last part of the Stawell Town Plan project. The draft plan sets out a long-term vision for the township and provides a roadmap to guide the future planning of the area over the next 20 to 30 years.

How can you participate?

The plan establishes a framework and outlines key directions and opportunities for change to foster the future growth and development of Stawell.

During the next phase of consultation we will be asking the community and key stakeholders to review the Draft Stawell Structure Plan and provide feedback on the proposed recommendations. Visit www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/stawell-plan to view the draft plan and provide feedback via an online survey.

Key elements of the plan address themes such as future residential development, protecting heritage assets, defining key transport routes and priorities for investment, and locating opportunities for long term economic development.

Given the current government requirements around social gatherings, we will facilitate consultation through the following methods: • Upload the plan and supporting materials on the project website • Provide an online survey and make hard copies accessible upon request from Stawell Customer Service Centre. • Provide opportunity for written submissions via email (ngshire@ngshire.vic. gov.au) or submit hard copies to the Stawell Customer Service Centre. • Organise a physical exhibition at the Stawell Town Hall Foyer on 14 and 15 December 2020. • Facilitate a series of online information sessions and provide regular updates to the project webpage and via council’s social media.

Leaders: We need your help H

ealth officials have called for more community leaders and members of the general public to have their say on proposals to explore partnership options between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services.

Options ‘to enhance service and create better health outcomes for people across the Wimmera’ include a possible voluntary amalgamation. Wimmera Health Care Group chair Marie Aitken said the two health services wanted more people to put forward their thoughts. “We are very keen to hear from the community about the opportunities for improved health care within the Wimmera region,” she said. “We would like to know what is important to you, to enhance services and improve health outcomes for people in the region. “We want to ensure all views are heard and we want to know your thoughts on the pros and cons of partnering.” Mrs Aitken said it was important to note the key focus of the exploration was about increasing the opportunity for Wimmera people to access health care in the region. “People are travelling too far to receive health care and solutions are needed,” she said. “We want to ensure the best health services are available for local people close to home and we would like to attract more clinicians to the local area, not only as

visitors, but as residents. This requires community input and collaboration, big thinking and best-practice approaches.” Community consultation is now underway and will continue through to February 15. People can put their opinions forward in various ways. They can – • Fill in a survey online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/WHCGandBHSPartnership. The survey is open until Friday. • Provide a written submission to Partnership Proposal, Wimmera Health Care Group – 83 Baillie Street, Horsham, Victoria, 3400 or email partnering@whcg. org.au. • Attend an online community consultation session on January 28, 4pm to 5pm; February 1, 12.30pm to 1.30pm; February 2, 9.30am to 10.30am; February 3, 6.30pm to 7.30pm. • Attend a community consultation session in person on February 5, 11.30am to 1pm or 2.30pm to 4pm at Horsham Golf Club; February 10, 3.30pm to 5pm, at Ballarat Health Services, Lederman Hall. People can RSVP to attend any of the consultation sessions and receive further information by emailing partnering@ whcg.org.au or phoning 5381 9293. There will also be community pop-up stands and meetings involving community organisations to discuss the project and hear views. More general information is available on websites www.whcg.org.au and www. bhs.org.au.

AIMING HIGH: Natimuk Primary School principal Ingrid Clarkson awards student Freya Jones for her display of courage and leadership in a rockclimbing session at Mount Arapiles.

Uplifting challenge for students Scaling challenging rock-climbing routes at Mount Arapiles west of Horsham has presented Wimmera students a prime opportunity to develop leadership skills. Instructor Bec Hopkins guided Natimuk Primary School students through a day packed full of climbing at the mount, with students learning key safety and technique elements of the sport. School principal Ingrid Clarkson said all year-five and six students eagerly attempted several climbing routes for the school’s end-ofyear rock-climbing session. “It was a fantastic opportunity

for all students to try new skills and test themselves against the rigours of the rock,” she said. “With the support of our rockclimbing community, students successfully completed a number of climbs with some daring to take on a challenge swing. “It was a great effort by all students, who were thoroughly exhausted by the end of the session.” School leaders also awarded a student who demonstrated leadership on the day by encouraging and supporting others. Freya Jones won the Ben Szakacs Memorial Leadership Award,

which recognises students who demonstrate ‘leadership skills, safety and endeavour’. “This can include belaying so others can climb, giving assistance when a foot hold or hand hold seems too elusive and encouraging those who feel they aren’t able to go any higher,” Mrs Clarkson said. She said Freya was an experienced rock climber who climbed difficult escarpments effortlessly but also took the time to ensure others were successful too. – Dylan De Jong

Wannon winners in federal funding

rarat and Northern Grampians councils are Wannon electorate recipients of a Federal Government funding boost to a national Roads to Recovery Program.

Member for Wannon Dan Tehan said the Federal Government would provide more than $171.1-million to 344 local government authorities across the nation for safer and better-maintained roads. “Roads to Recovery funding in Wannon will allow councils across the area to progress a number of high-priority projects, using local knowledge to deliver the best local roads,” he said. “The Australian government is committed to getting Australians home sooner and safer, no matter where they live.” November 2020 Wannon al-

locations through the program show Ararat Rural City Council will get $950,000 and Northern Grampians, $621,000. Other Wannon allocations include: Pyrenees Shire Council $707,289; Colac Otway Shire Council $220,000; Corangamite Shire Council $896,001; Southern Grampians Shire Council $921,113; and Shire of Moyne $1,152,903. Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister Kevin Hogan said the Federal Government had committed an additional $100-million a year to the program from 2019–20, as part of the Local and State Government Road Safety Package announced in the 2019–20 budget. “From 2013–14 to 2023–24, the government will provide $6.2-billion under the Roads to Recovery Program, with an ongoing commitment of

$500-million each year following,” he said. “We are investing in infrastructure nationwide in order to lay the foundations for economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic. “Assisting local councils to maintain and improve roads under their jurisdiction is a big part of that, which is why we have also funded a new $1.5-billion Local Road and Community Infrastructure Program and brought forward $1.3-billion of the 2020–21 Financial Assistance Grant payment. “In order to meet the anticipated strong demand for Roads to Recovery for 2020–21, the Australian government has brought forward $22.75-million to be available to councils to claim this financial year, for a total of $592.18-million in 2020–21.”

Historic Yurunga back on display Rainbow’s Yurunga Homestead is among museums and other historic attractions that have reopened their doors across Victoria. The heritage-listed homestead, which dates back to 1909, opened to the public again last month.

The homestead is open on Sundays from 2pm to 4pm and visitors can now participate in tours that include the building’s northern verandah. Work to restore the verandah, closed to the public since late 2019, occurred during the COVID-19 lockdown period.

Hindmarsh Shire Council restored the verandah with a Heritage Victoria grant. Mayor Ron Ismay thanked Heritage Victoria for its support in the restoration work. “It is great to see the homestead welcoming visitors again,” he said.

CONNECTION: Contemporary Melbourne-based artist Stacey Rees will start painting an abstract mural at Jos Lane in Horsham’s city centre this weekend.

Rees adds a splash of colour An abstract landscape featuring Wimmera swamp land is set to feature on a large wall in Jos Lane in Horsham’s city centre before the end of the year. Contemporary Melbourne-based artist Stacey Rees will paint a mural featuring the open plains of Nurrabiel-Toolondo, south of Horsham, where she grew up on a family farm. Horsham Rural City Council has commissioned Rees for the mural, as part of a project aimed to scout talented residents to help ‘activate and beautify’ the city’s public spaces. Rees said she wanted the mural to highlight the ‘often overlooked’ beauty of the landscape. “I remember that landscape could be pretty barren and rough when I was a kid, but I feel like I look at it from a different perspective these days,” she said. “My focus will be looking at the textures and the way it appears quite resilient, but it’s really

quite fragile – when you look closely there are beautiful and fragile eco systems.” Rees said she hoped the project would build on the Wimmera’s growing art identity. “I love how the Silo Art Trail has started a connection with rural people with the arts,” she said. “To have those connections and make art accessible so it’s not foreign to people, and to normalise it, is so important.” Rees, who normally has her work featured in galleries across Melbourne and Sydney, said the art project provided a solid opportunity for her to continue pursuing art professionally after COVID-19 had impacted the arts industry. “I was unsure as to what was happening and the future of the arts so I thought I would apply for this mural project and the council was happy with what I gave them,” she said.

By-election date

Northern Grampians Shire Council Kara Kara Ward by-election will be in February next year.

The by-election, which will be by post, is the result of the resignation of councillor-elect Karen Hyslop. Victorian Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately issued a call to Kara Kara Ward residents and ratepayers to be ready to have their say. “You must be correctly enrolled by the close of roll, which is 4pm on Friday, December 18. As this is a postal election, it’s important to check your address details are correct – this includes any alternative postal address,” Mr Gately said. “If you’re an Australian citizen who resides within Kara Kara Ward and you’ve recently turned 18 or moved, and you haven’t enrolled or updated your address, or if you’ve just closed your post office box with Australia Post, you can enrol or update your details online at vec.vic.gov. au/enrolment.” People not Northern Grampians Shire Council

state-enrolled – who reside outside the local council area or are non-Australian citizens – and have bought a rateable property, or occupy and pay rates for a property, including a business premise, or are a director or company secretary of a corporation that pays rates within Kara Kara Ward, can apply to the council to enrol by calling 5358 8724. Voters enrolled in the ward for the 2020 general election for Northern Grampians Shire Council will be automatically enrolled, unless circumstances have changed. Council-enrolled voters can check their enrolment by calling the council. “Voting in local council elections is compulsory if you’re a state-enrolled voter, and we encourage council-enrolled voters to vote,” Mr Gately said. “Your local council makes important decisions about your community facilities, services and local business community, so it’s important to have your say by voting in this by-election.” About 2410 Victorians are enrolled in Kara Kara Ward, which includes St Arnaud district.

Gready joins Northern Grampians council Trevor Gready has joined Northern Grampians Shire Council as the council’s new South West Ward representative. Mr Gready, one of three candidates for the sole position remaining on the council, won the seat after a by-election. He will now represent the council until the next round of elections in October 2024.

Election manager Clarissa Hyland declared the result at Stawell Town Hall on Friday. Mr Gready polled 547 first-preference votes or 47.77 percent of the vote, from Rosalind Byass, 453, 39.56, and Terence Roberts, 145, 12.66. After distribution of preferences, Mr Gready had 641 votes, or 55.98 percent, and Ms Byass 504, 44.02.

Horsham carols called off Complications surrounding copyright laws prompted organisers of Horsham Carols by Candlelight to cancel plans to present an online version of the celebration. The event, featuring recorded and live performances that would have been streamed online and broadcast on radio station MIXX FM, was scheduled for Sunday last week. A major issue emerged last week surrounding video streaming pre-recorded songs protected by copyright and costs involved in getting licenc-

ing permission. The event could have still been broadcast on radio but organisers decided against presenting something less than was promised. Horsham Carols by Candlelight, supported strongly by The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM, traditionally attracts thousands of people to Sawyer Park. This year, amid COVID-19 restrictions, organisers were keen to present a virtual event and had spent many weeks in preparation.

More money for school projects

chools across the Wimmera are set to benefit from funding allocations through the State Government’s $70-million Minor Capital Works Fund.

Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford announced a string of schools across the region as part of a plan to fast-track priority projects during a Victorian economic recovery. The extra funding comes on top of a $3-million investment in school upgrades that featured in last month’s 2020-21 Victorian Budget. Ms Pulford said unlike the previous allocations, which were for major school upgrades, the latest allocation would be for ‘smaller’ projects likely to affect regional schools. She said schools in centres such as Horsham, Jeparit, Apsley, Stawell and Halls Gap would all benefit from funding. Horsham College will receive $447,125 for exterior building work on the roof and gutter of its school gymnasium and Horsham Primary School’s Rasmussen Road campus has $500,000 to upgrade its administration building. Stawell Primary School will have $310,125 to refurbish and upgrade a school oval and Halls Gap Primary School, $186,165 for roofing works. A $22,120 allocation for Jeparit Primary School will go towards works to a damaged retaining wall and playground seating and Apsley Primary School will have $42,120 to spend on new shade coverings over a sand pit. The funding follows up budget announcements for other Wimmera schools at Warracknabeal, Goroke, Horsham and St Arnaud. Ms Pulford said Victoria’s school-building program was the largest in the country. “More importantly, it’ll mean our kids have the classrooms – and the bright futures – they

deserve,” she said. Ms Pulford said the State Government had invested more than $9-billion in more than 1600 school upgrades – creating more than 10,000 construction jobs – and was now ahead of schedule for its commitment to open 100 new schools by 2026, with 48 new schools opening between 2019 and 2022. “We are making sure students have access to the best school facilities and a great education,” she said. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said The Nationals had called for a list of schools that would receive money for minor works.

Pleased

She said while she would have liked to see more schools in Lowan receive funding, she was pleased eight schools in her electorate would share in more than $1.6-million for the upgrades. “This funding, while well overdue, will certainly help ensure these schools’ teachers and students have the facilities they need and deserve to deliver even better educational outcomes,” she said. “For example, it has taken five years of persistence, including several letters to the Minister for Education, to obtain this funding for the much-needed refurbishment of the administration building at the Horsham Primary School Rasmussen Road campus. “This funding will be put towards new flooring and coverings, internal painting, upgrading the student toilets and occupation health and safety improvements to existing ‘unsafe’ ramps into the building. “I look forward to following the progress of all these upgrades and congratulate all the schools and their local communities for their tireless efforts in successfully advocating for this funding.”

HARD AT WORK: Arapiles climbing pioneer and environmental activist Louise Shepherd participates in a tree planting conservation effort at a Mt Arapiles camp site. Friends of Arapiles group members have jumped back into action following a long break due to the coronavirous pandemic.

Protection work restarts Wimmera community groups have restarted efforts to care for the natural environment that were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Environmental management groups Friends of Arapiles and Cliffcare jumped back into action with a tree-planting day at Mt Arapiles. The groups, consisting mainly of rock climbers, typically undergo work such as track maintenance, revegetation and weed control at Mt Arapiles and other national and state parks across Victoria. Cliffcare board member and Natimuk resident Kevin Lindorf said 35 people planted native trees at Mt Arapiles last month, representing a return to voluntary efforts for the groups. “Because of issues around

health and safety for workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, getting people together in working bees has been problematic,” he said. “Parks Victoria put things on hold for a while, which has made things a little slow.” Mr Lindorf said work on a new walking track at the mount was one of few projects Cliffcare could participate in during the pandemic. “We had a stonemason employed by Cliffcare to build a new track at Arapiles. He’s been labouring on his own because we haven’t been able to get together,” he said. “It’s one of the only projects that could go ahead over the past year.” Mr Lindorf said protecting the natural environment from degradation caused by

recreational activities such as hiking, camping and climbing was a key focus of the groups. “For any recreational user group, if there’s lots of people squashed into a small area it’s going to have an impact – the trick is to manage it in a way that mitigates those negative impacts,” he said. “We don’t want to see these places degraded – we want to see them looked after. “Cliffcare and Friends of Arapiles have got a pretty rich legacy going back many decades of looking after the place, not just at Arapiles but right across Victoria.” Mr Lindorf said volunteers would continue to water trees planted at Mt Arapiles throughout summer. – Dylan De Jong

New mining era emerging in Ararat

ossible discoveries of gold and copper deposits at a site west of Ararat is showing early indications of a new era in mining for western Victoria.

Navarre Minerals, an Australian gold exploration company based in Stawell, has reported further discoveries of geological conditions suitable for producing gold and copper in Stavely Arc. In response, the State Government invited farmers and landholders to a series of forums late last month to provide information on mineral exploration. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the forum covered a range of issues around exploration land use rights, environmental protection and the compensation available to farmers should there be mineral deposits identified on their land. He said while the likelihood of discovering a commercially viable deposit was low, there was optimism the area’s geology suggested a ‘world class’ deposit of gold and copper could be present. “If that does occur, it will take years for a

new local mine to become operational, but while our region is a focus of exploration activity, it is already returning millions to the local economy,” Dr Harrison said. “Much of the economy has struggled throughout the global pandemic. In contrast, gold has become a safe haven for investment, continuing to sharply rise. “An increase in mining activity provides enormous confidence for the local economy and the creation of many new jobs that will help drive our regional growth and prosperity.”

Unique opportunity

Dr Harrison said the prospects of more mining presented the region with a unique opportunity not seen since Ararat was established in the late 1800s. “More than 160 years have passed since Chinese miners en route to the goldfields discovered gold in Ararat, which resulted in a boom that established our town,” he said. “During the goldrush era, more than 80-million ounces of gold were discovered in Victoria. Today this would amount to more than $200-billion in value.

“Not only did this transform the economies of our regional cities and towns, but people from right across the globe came here searching for a brighter future. “It’s a boom that has never been repeated, perhaps until now, with advances in technology and smarter exploration showing that we have an abundance of strong geological potential for new gold, copper and other metal discoveries.” To date, minerals exploration licences have been issued in four blocks in the Stavely Arc, including areas surrounding Willaura, Wickliffe, Lake Bolac, Moyston and Pomonal. “We understand the Victorian government is investigating options for a community benefits scheme that would see royalties from mining reinvested in the communities where activity occurs,” Dr Harrison said. “This is an initiative we would strongly support.” People can visit website earthresources. vic.gov.au/projects/stavely to find out more about the Stavely Minerals Exploration Initiative.

History book to support a small Mallee town Preserving the history of small southern Mallee town Beulah for future generations is at the heart of a book looking back at more than 130 years. Beulah born and raised resident Lorna Williams, 86, with the help of Beulah Historic Learning and Progress Association, launched the book, ‘Building a Community: The History of Beulah and District From 1881’ earlier this year. Mrs Williams said the book peered into Beulah’s colonial past, which stemmed back to when Europeans first settled the town in the late 1800s. She said sections of Keith Hofmaier’s 1976 book ‘Mallee Memories’, the progress association’s ‘North of the Netting’ and Lynette Williams’ ‘After the Netting’ helped form the book’s content. “It’s a combination of the three books,” she said. “The first two we couldn’t get reprinted because of technology, but a type service took the books and scanned every page and sent it to us.” Mrs Williams said the progress association spent countless hours scanning pages, collecting old photos and correcting type to ready the book for print. “It was a massive job to get that right – we had to precis down a lot of it,” she said. Mrs Williams said the book also took an extensive look at Beulah’s claim to being the closest township to the ‘rabbit-proof fence’ – established to prevent the incursions of rabbit plagues, wild dogs and dingoes. “The book includes all the old history.

PEERING BACK: Beulah Historic Learning and Progress Association committee member Lorna Williams is excited to launch a new book covering the town’s rich history.

We also found old maps of the first title of land, which at the time was subdivided into a series of blocks to be sold and that’s how Beulah started,” she said. Mrs Williams said she hoped the book would serve the Beulah community for years to come. “So many of these little towns across the area have gone and there’s no history of them. Beulah was a thriving little metropolis at one point in its history,” she said. “The way the farming is going with land holdings getting bigger and bigger – the population just isn’t here like it used to

be. But we’re very lucky we’ve got good medical services and our post office. “Although we just had our local pub shut recently, we’re in the process of getting a new supermarket after the old one burnt down last year.” The progress association was unable to host an official launch when the book was released, but Mrs Willaims said copies could be purchased in Beulah and at outlets across the Yarriambiack municipality. – Dylan De Jong

Family, friends to see loved ones

WELCOME CHANGE: Yarri Lodge resident Theon Taylor with visitors Chris and Nick Tantanis.

Visitor restrictions ease

ural Northwest Health staff have reported that residents are thrilled with the lifting of visitor restrictions for hospitals and aged-care facilities. While COVID-safe practices will still apply, the directive from Victoria’s Chief Health Officer means limitations no long exist regarding the number, length or purpose of visitors. Rural Northwest Health will still use a booking system, for the time being, to avoid exceeding density limits. Bookings are required ahead of time and visiting time slots are available between 10am and 5pm each day. Nurse unit manager Meghan Noon said the health service needed to ensure the health and safety of patients and residents. “Although we are looking forward to welcoming more visitors back into the facility, it’s important to remember to follow

the COVID-safe practices for visitors,” she said. Rural Northwest Health has implemented the following COVID-safe practices for visitors – • Undertake COVID-19 screening before every visit • Provide their name, contact details and who they are visiting, time of entry and time of exit on every visit • Book ahead • Wear a face mask at all times if over 12 years of age • Keep 1.5 metres apart at all times, even while wearing a mask • A limit of two people visiting in a patient bedroom at any one time – due to room-capacity limits • Larger group numbers, aligned with current direction, can use outdoor spaces • Use hand sanitiser or wash hands upon

entry to the hospital, entering and leaving a patient room, after using doors or handrails • Limit movement throughout the health service where possible. People must not visit if they have – • Arrived or returned from overseas in the past 14 days • Visited metropolitan Adelaide since November 7 • Tested positive for COVID-19 or have been swabbed and are awaiting results • Been directed to self-isolate or self-quarantine buy an authorised officer • Had close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or is awaiting test results • A temperature higher than 37.5 degrees on arrival • Respiratory symptoms such as breathlessness or breathing difficulties, cough, sore throat, fatigue or tiredness.

Easing of COVID-19 restrictions will allow family and friends to again be able to see loved ones at Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital. Director of nursing Joseph Bermudo said visitation restrictions in the hospital and residential aged care were reduced late last week in line with Department of Health and Human Services guidelines. “We are proud of and grateful to the community and staff for their support of visitor restrictions that we have had in place to keep our patients, residents and community safe,” he said. “2020 has not been an easy year since the COVID-19 pan-

demic has hit. While decisions around restrictions to visitors have been hard, they have been necessary, and we thank you all for the sacrifices you have made. “Now that the risk of COVID-19 in the community is low we are taking steps to open up to visitors again.” He said while restrictions had eased, he asked visitors to be mindful of DHHS guidelines. “Although the risk of COVID-19 is currently low we would like to remind people not be become complacent and to continue to follow these measures so we can all stay safe,” he said.

Annual meeting online East Grampians Health Service will present its annual meeting via a Zoom webinar at 6pm on December 16. In a first for the health service, COVID-19 gathering restrictions necessitated the organisation to ‘think outside the square’ this year. The meeting will receive a board report and audited statement of accounts for the year ending June 20, 2020. It will also recognise significant achievement in studies by staff members, recognise staff long service and announce successful recipients

of health-service scholarships and bursaries. Chief executive Andrew Freeman said the organisation looked forward to seeing as many faces as possible at this year’s meeting, ‘even if on a computer screen’. “Despite COVID-19, we still want to celebrate the achievements of our health service and our staff and hope you will join us in this celebration,” he said. People can register for the webinar at zoom.us/ webinar/register/WN_Jg28MAhtR6-9QG96oZiMMw.

CFA advisory group formed C

“This is why we want firefighters and brigades to share their ideas to restore the CFA as an independent and equal fire service”

ommunity consultation will soon start on a State Opposition project to rebuild the Country Fire Authority and strengthen the volunteer organisation.

The Liberal-Nationals have launched the project in response to the State Government’s controversial fire-service reforms. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said the CFA was a country Victorian icon, but the government’s reforms had ‘deliberately sidelined volunteer brigades that are integral to the protection of country communities’. Ms Kealy said the Coalition had appointed a CFA advisory committee in a step forward to rebuild the CFA. “There’s no CFA without our CFA volunteers – they are the heart and soul of the organisation and essential to our state’s fire preparedness and response,” she said. “This is why we want firefighters and brigades to share their ideas to restore the CFA as an independent and equal fire service. “It’s just months since the reforms came in and already staffing vacancies are plaguing country fire districts, with Daniel Andrews’ changes now requiring paid staff to be seconded from Fire Services Victoria. “Labor’s reforms are starving the CFA of resources and staff, further destroying the organisation by stealth.” Jack Rush, a key figure as counsel assisting in the Victorian Bushfires

– Emma Kealy

Royal Commission, will chair the advisory committee. The committee will also include former Victorian Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley, former member and acting chair of the CFA board John Peberdy, former State Emergency Service board member Ev Duke and Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria chief executive Adam Barnett. Three CFA volunteers, nominated by Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria, will also form part of the committee. Mr Rush said the process provided a critical opportunity to promote the interests of a most precious resource, volunteer firefighters, and to ensure the future of the state’s largest fire agency – the CFA. Ms Kealy urged anyone wanting to have their say on the future of the fire services to visit website www.your sayonthecfa.com.au. “The voices of CFA volunteers have been ignored for too long,” she said. “Under a Liberal-Nationals government, CFA volunteers will receive the support and respect they rightly deserve.”

Tapping into talents for festive cheer Rural Northwest Health Christmas celebrations took on a new look this year with team members providing a ‘Christmas in the Quadrant’ event for Warracknabeal campus residents. Many health-service events have been cancelled or adapted to suit restrictions this year and uncertainty around visitor access made planning for an event to celebrate the start of Christmas activities hard for staff members. Instead of using external entertainment providers, the service asked team members to volunteer to share their talents with the residents. Warracknabeal team members LeeAnn Nikkelson, Felicity Fine, Jodee Lardner, Maree Bell, Angie Cox and Jamie Horton answered the call and provided a variety of entertainment to more than 30 residents.

Lee-Ann, along with Maree and Jodee are line-dance enthusiasts and showed off their skills. Lee-Ann also sang an a cappella version of ‘Billy Don’t be a Hero’ by Paper Lace. Angie, instead of singing or dancing, read a couple of Christmas poems to residents. “I really liked the idea and wanted to participate,” she said. “The residents have had such a tough year with very little visitors, so I thought why not try to bring them some joy.” In her first time performing at an event, Felicity sang a cover of ‘If I ain’t got you’ by Alicia Keys and a song she wrote herself called ‘Beautiful Stranger’. “The residents looked like they were really enjoying themselves and

it felt amazing to be part of that experience. Christmas spirit was definitely in the air,” Felicity said. Finishing in Christmas spirit, Jamie sang an acoustic version of ‘So this is Christmas’ and ‘Hallelujah’. Rural Northwest Health chief executive Kevin Mills said it was great to see everyone having such a good time. “I am no longer surprised at the talents on show as we are constantly spoiled with such wonderful entertainment by the team,” he said. “They truly are amazing and appreciated by the residents and co-workers alike. “A big thank you to all involved, this made my day.” The health group is planning a similar event for its Hopetoun campus residents later this month.

Residents support recovery plan P

eople across the Wimmera have less than two weeks to enter a draw to win prizes worth thousands of dollars thanks to a major campaign to stimulate Warracknabeal’s economy.

The opportunity to win big during the Christmas period is part of Warracknabeal Action Group’s Crazy COVID Comeback campaign. Group president Dianne Marchment said the campaign aimed to help with economic recovery following socio-economic difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Some businesses have had a huge impact, especially in hospitality, where businesses have either had to shut down or put staff off,” she said. “We’re probably lucky we live in rural Victoria – so we’re away from Melbourne where it got out control. “But people have been good and adapted their businesses to the way things have changed.” Ms Marchment said the group joined with the town’s service clubs including Lions, Rotary, Rotaract, Apex and private businesses to buy more than $12,000 in prizes from Warracknabeal businesses for the campaign. “The idea was to go to businesses in town and purchase the prizes to help put money back into the community,” she said.

Ms Marchment said she encouraged all people across the Wimmera, including travellers, to enter into the draw to win. “There’s lots of travellers coming through, so we encourage anyone to enter into the draw,” she said. People can enter to win a weekly draw or any of the major prizes worth

up to $5000, $3000 and $1000 by making a purchase at a participating business. Entries will close on Monday, December 21. The campaign committee has already presented three residents with $200 vouchers as part of a weekly bonus draw, with two more to be

announced within the next fortnight. Entrants will also have an opportunity to win a $500 food hamper. Participating businesses have chosen a minimum-spend requirement for entrants to be eligible for the draws. After a shopper has supported a business, they can fill in a form avail-

able at the store and drop their entry into a submission box. Weekly draws will be announced every Friday afternoon throughout the campaign. People can email info@warrack nabealactiongroup.com.au for more information about the promotion.

On its way

udi AG has confirmed the existence and imminent market arrival of the SQ5 Sportback TDI, a vehicle that will sit firmly atop the Q5 range, at least until the possible emergence of the yet-tobe-confirmed RS Q5.

Due to arrive in Australia in the second half of 2021 along with the rest of the Q5 Sportback range, the exact specification and pricing of the new flagship is yet to be announced. However, we know it will be powered by the same 251kW/700Nm turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine as the wagon. The new model actually produces slightly less power than its pre-

decessor – 255kW v 251kW – but its 700Nm of torque has been made available lower in the rev range thanks to a series of engine modifications designed to make the performance more accessible. Such modifications include new forged steel pistons, rather than aluminium, for increased strength, while a new stepped recess allows for faster and more efficient combustion within the cylinders. Other tweaks include new piezo sensors for the fuel injectors and a new water-air cooler located within the V of the engine, while the turbocharger itself has scored a smaller and lighter compressor wheel. Drive as ever is sent to all four

wheels using Audi’s proprietary quattro all-wheel-drive system while an eight-speed ‘tiptronic’ automatic transmission takes care of gear shifting duties. Given all the similarities with the wagon, it came as no surprise to find the Sportback shared the same 5.1-second 0-100kmh time and would push on to the same 250kmh electronically limited top speed. Decent fuel economy is ensured by the addition of a 48V mild hybrid system which can allow the SQ5 TDI to coast with the engine off for up to 40 seconds at a time. The flipside is it can also mitigate turbo lag thanks to the ‘electric powered compressor’ which helps spool

Audi SQ5 headed here next year in wagon and Sportback forms

the turbo up at low engine speeds. Just like the wagon, the new Sportback features updated styling with the overall look made to appear more menacing and aggressive, combining nicely with its swooping roofline which not only looks sportier but also helps to reduce its drag coefficient. It does however rob the Sportback of 40 litres worth of cargo space with boot space rated at 510L, a figure that can expand to 1480L with the rear seats folded flat. Under the skin the SQ5 Sportback TDI rides on the same multi-link sports suspension set-up as the wagon with adaptive damping, however it remains to be seen if it will follow the trend set by its standard stablemates in

being stiffer than the wagon. Regardless, the ride height has been reduced by 30mm compared with the standard versions. Rolling stock is taken care of by 20-inch alloys shod with 255-45 tyres as standard. While local specifications are yet to be detailed, it would be safe to assume the Sportback’s standard equipment will mostly mirror that of the wagon, which at this stage includes LED headlights, illuminated aluminium door sill trims, power adjustable sports seats, electrically operated tailgate, stainless steel loading sill protector, aluminium roof rails, 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen, 12.3-inch instrument cluster and Audi connect. – Callum Hunter

Advent ‘gifts’ for road users

oad safety meets a time-honoured Christmas tradition with the Transport Accident Commission’s ‘Spend it Wisely’ advent calendar.

The digital advent calendar provides 25 days of road-safety tips along with offers and discounts to businesses throughout the holiday season. The calendar project is designed to help Victorians have an enjoyable and safe Christmas on and off the road. The calendar encourages Victorians to ‘Spend it Wisely’ – from spending money with businesses that have done it tough this year, to spending time on the roads safely to get home to loved ones. Road Safety Minister Ben Carroll said Christmas was traditionally one of the busiest times on the state’s roads with expectations this year would be particularly busy. “Many Victorians won’t have driven long distances this year, particularly at high speed on unfamiliar roads, so it’s crucial for people to take extra care as they head off on their road trip,” he said. “Motorists should allow plenty of time to get to their destination, take plenty of breaks, avoid driving when you would usually be sleeping, share the driving if possible and be patient.” TAC chief executive Joe Calafiore highlight-

ed that last year, 17 people died on Victorian roads from the start of December up to Christmas Day, and 21 people lost their lives during December. Almost 200 people have already died on Victorian roads this year. “We’ve all done a great job of looking out for each other this year and we want people to extend that care to their fellow road users and contribute to making every journey a safe journey this Christmas,” Mr Calafiore said. “We all deserve to spend time with our loved ones this festive season, so we are pleading with Victorians to keep themselves, their families and other road users safe when they get on the road.” Victorians can visit www.tac.vic.gov.au/ spenditwisely to open the advent calendar’s window each day until Christmas for a range of giveaways and have the chance to win a ‘staycation’ in Melbourne.

Lives lost

The TAC has released data about the number of lives lost per municipality in 2019 and 2020. Lives lost in 2019 versus lives lost in 2020: Ararat Rural City 3, 0; Northern Grampians Shire 1, 4; Yarriambiack Shire 1, 0; Hindmarsh Shire 0, 0; Horsham Rural City 5, 2; West Wimmera Shire 3, 3; Buloke Shire 2, 2. • Figures current as of November 30, 2020.

Peugeot reveals Landtrek Peugeot has debuted a new one-tonne pick-up called the Landtrek, however local fans need not hold their breath as the new French ute is destined mainly for the Latin and South American markets. Revealed in Mexico, the Landtrek helps Peugeot fill a gap in its light-commercial vehicle line-up, with the medium pick-up segment contributing 2.5 million global sales in 2019, nearly 410,000 of which were sold in South America. Given that Peugeot Citroen Australia, PCA, last year made the change to give Peugeot the

lead on light-commercial vehicles over Citroen, the addition of a one-tonne pick-up would be warmly welcomed by dealers and Peugeot fans alike. However PCA PR manager Chloe Fraser told GoAuto the Landtrek was not available for the Australian market. Developed in conjunction with Chinese manufacturer Changan, the Landtrek is available with the choice of single or dual-cab body styles, as well as the choice of petrol or diesel engines. If it were offered in Australia, the most popular option would

likely be the diesel, namely a 1.9-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit producing 110kW at 4000rpm and 350Nm from 1800-2800rpm, driving either the rear or all four wheels exclusively via a six-speed manual transmission. Fuel consumption for the diesel ranges from 7.8-8.1 litres per 100km, while CO2 emissions range from 206-212 grams of CO2 per kilometre. The diesel’s Euro 4 emissions rating is likely a large reason the Landtrek is not planned for Australia. – Robbie Wallis

WARRACKNABEAL

31 Watson St – Craving for an alternative lifestyle ? Want to get off the grid ? Here is the place for you. This single room hut has been made very comfortable by the current owner with 12 volt and sloar lighting, compost toilet, shower, wood heater, outdoor bath, outdoor kitchen, under cover living area, established garden and all on a well fenced block zoned township. The property is close to the Wail State Forrest and a short drive to the Wimmera River. The property doesn’t have any services connected but has 2 rainwater tanks.

50 Mandeville St – They make it look easy on the Block so you should be able to renovate this home in about 3 weeks. Seriously this house needs someone with very good DYI skills to get it back to a livable home. Water and power have been connected but aren’t now, not sure about the sewerage. The house is clad in mini corrigated iron and has 3 bedrooms, kitchen but no stove, bathroom with a shower and basin, lounge and a outside laundry and toilet. The property is being sold as is but the vendors don’t own the cars in the back yard. The block is approx 1000m2 and has excellent rear lane access.

119 Jamouneau St – OPPORTUNITY DOESN’T KNOCK TWICE - This craftsman built brick veneer home features a modern kitchen with electric appliances, a pull out pantry and a walk-in pantry, spacious separate lounge room, 3 genuine double bedrooms, all with ceiling fans and built in robes, a sewing room or office, a recently renovated ultra-modern bathroom with a step less shower, reverse cycle fully ducted A/C, 2 internal toilets, and more storage cupboards than you will ever need. Pergola, high clearance garage with auto door, carport, large workshop, good size storage shed, roller shutters and several rain water tanks.

16 Thomas St – A half acre residential corner block on two titles is a rare commodity in Warracknabeal. Vacant blocks are at a premium and large ones even more so. With this amount of land you can build that dream shed and still have plenty left over for a large residence. Or build on one and sell the other or develop the second to give yourself an income stream. This block has easy access from the highway and all services are available. There is lane running along the south boundary of the blocks and fencing along the western boundary. Some clearing will be required.

Christian Devotions

Expect it!

If your Vision matches our Vision, we want to hear from you.

‘But the day of the Lord will come like a thief ’ (2 Peter 3:10a) Why do we all have locks on our doors, windows and gates etc? To protect what’s inside, obviously? So the fact that we need to keep our stuff safe highlights the fact that other people want it for themselves. But what if I state the obvious in another way, saying, the reason why you have locks on your doors, windows and gates is that you expect to be burgled! When St Peter likens the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to a thief, he is highlighting the suddenness of the event, not the unexpectedness of it. Thieves are not unexpected visitors. They are not unexpected because you have already prepared for their arrival! You have locked up the doors, windows and gates, right? So whoever is wise enough to expect the thief ought to apply the same logic when it comes to the Last Day. Jesus will not unexpectedly return to judge the living and the dead; taking his faithful to himself into eternal bliss, while sending the others away into eternal torment. Rather he will return expectedly and suddenly. For those of you who are living dangerously, I recommend that you hunt for good locksmith to help you out. While you’re at it, hunt for a good church to prepare yourself for the expected return of Jesus. Do it now! You’re in danger of being robbed of life and salvation (that which only a good church supplies at no cost to you). Pastor Chris Raatz - Grampians Lutheran Parish

Kees struggle in wet S

Show of strength

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

Stawell Toyota took full advantage of a depleted Stawell Goldmine outfit in round six of the Stawell Tennis Club Bendigo Bank Friday Night Competition. Stawell Toyota flexed its muscles en route to a percentageboosting victory, while Carey Covers created some breathing space in the top two with a tight win over a desperate David O’Jones Mitre 10. Stawell Goldmine, missing several key personnel, has slipped further off the pace following a comprehensive whitewash at the hands of ladder leader Stawell Toyota. The final score of 18-151 to 6-96 demonstrated the large gulf that exists between first and last on the ladder. No less than five Stawell Toyota players were unbeaten on the night. Jade Cross continued her impressive season, leading the onslaught, and was ably supported by Jen Stevens, Lexi Collins and young guns Lewis Reading and Henry Clough. Ben Martin, Joe Dunn and Natasha Van Leeuwen were the only Stawell Goldmine regulars to salute on the evening. The Christmas break can not come quick enough for Stawell Goldmine, which will look to regroup following next week’s round of matches.

aturday’s forecast temperature of 30 degrees will provide a 180 for Central Wimmera Tennis Association competitors, who contended with windy and rainy conditions last week.

Only one of three pennant matches was completed in round nine, with the scheduled clash between St Michaels and Homers declared a washout. A mere two sets were played at Central Park on Saturday, as the home side hosted Horsham Lawn. Lawn’s Tahlia Thompson and Cherie Wood won their first set 8-0, with teammate Hayden Farlow following suit in singles. The day’s play was abandoned, with teams awarded two points apiece. Drung South and Kalkee chose to battle it out on Drung’s home turf, with the ladder leader making light work of the Kees to triumph 10-89 to 2-54. Both teams had a few changes to their line-ups, with Anna Exell filling in for the men. Wins were slim for the visitors, although Jordan Friberg enjoyed a singles victory, 8-3, over Adam Troeth, and Hayley Thomas and Kirby Knight got the better of Janelle Knight and Andrea Cameron, 8-6. The loss saw the Kees drop to third overall, two points behind Horsham Lawn. Ladder positions are unlikely to change

SINGLES WIN: Jordan Friberg, pictured playing junior tennis earlier in the year, was a shining light for Kalkee in a tough encounter with Drung South on Saturday. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER this week, with Lawn and Kalkee taking on bottom sides Homers and Central Park respectively. St Michaels would need to score an upset over undefeated Drung South to advance, although based on their last meeting, it isn’t impossible. The Saints enjoyed a close encounter with Drung in round five, going down by

only two sets and a handful of games. The Saints will have nothing to lose as they enter the penultimate match of the year. Teams will play their final matches of the year on December 19 and then enjoy a Christmas-new year break. Ladder: Drung South 36 points, Horsham Lawn 22, Kalkee 20, St Michaels 18, Central Park 6, Homers 6.

The battle was on in earnest for second spot as Carey Covers and David O’Jones Mitre 10 locked horns in a see-sawing battle. The match went down to the wire before Carey Covers reigned triumphant 13-130 to 11-123. Bragging rights were up for grabs between the two premier number-three performers thus far this season, Leon Monaghan and Malcolm Raggart, however it turned out to be a non-event, with the latter winning all three sets to give his Carey Covers side ascendency. Carel Chang, inspired by Raggart, put in her most consistent performance of the year, winning all three sets, as did the ever reliable Hugh Carey, who barely broke a sweat all night and was looking for somebody to hit with at the completion of his matches, to work on the finer points of his game. Youngsters D’Artagnan Walls, Jack Stevens and Holly Graveson tried valiantly to get David O’Jones over the line, however ultimately fell nine games short to see its chances of a top-two finish diminishing by the week. Ladder: Stawell Toyota 104 points, Carey Covers 93, Mitre 10 79, Stawell Goldmine 60. – Joel Freeland

Gramps crushes rival

Teams to regroup after interruption

rampians has stormed ahead of Horsham in inter-association cricket stakes after a crushing win over its northwest neighbour at Stawell.

Grampians finished 61 runs better than Horsham in a 40-over-a-side challenge match at Stawell’s Central Park, adding further fuel to a growing rivalry between the competitions. Grampians won the toss and batted, its talented list making 5-178 before bowling a disappointing Horsham out for 117.

Nic Baird came and went for 18, while Jarrod Blandford anchored the innings for the home side with an unbeaten 66. Chaminda Gamage returned the best figures for Horsham with 2-29. Horsham needed to score at just under a run a ball but suffered an early blow with Nathan Alexander’s dismissal for 6. Dogged Justtin Combe tried to anchor the Horsham response but when he fell for 30, losing his stumps to Chad Gilmour, it triggered a fatal middle order collapse and a procession of wickets. Horsham could not recover, running into the likes of Jay Moody, Matt Heffer and Gilmour, who all captured key wickets. The result, unlikely to sit well with Horsham’s A Grade fraternity, added considerable spice to what appears set to become an annual contest.

Rain curtailed Grampians Cricket Association on Saturday with players abandoning both games after making a start. At Stawell’s Central Park, Youth Club sent St Andrews in to bat and after 21 overs, when play stopped, the Saints were a respectable 3-60 with Riley Taylor unbeaten on 30 and Cam Kimber taking all three wickets for 15 runs. Across town at North Park, Pomonal had chosen to bat and was 1-27 from seven overs when weather halted play. The coming round sees Buangor-Tatyoon at home to Youth Club and Swift-Great Western against St Andrews on Central Park, with Pomonal having the bye. These games are critical for less-fancied Youth Club and St Andrews. If either of these sides has a win, it will go a long way to determining third and fourth positions. If Buangor-Tatyoon captain Jarrod Blandford maintains his form, it will make it extremely difficult for the Clubbers bowlers to keep Buangor-Tatyoon to a losing score. Blandford will be assisted by James Phillips, Tyler Cronin, and hard-hitters Michael Harricks and Henry Armstrong. This means Clinton Slorach, Cam Kimber, and Nic Baird will have to stick at it with the ball so Baird and other batsmen Koby Stewart and Kimber don’t have too much work. A record between Swifts-Great Western and St Andrews stands at one win apiece with the latest win to the Combine in the T20 final. Considering selectors picked seven Combine players in the recent Grampians-Horsham challenge, and they took all but one of the 10 wickets to fall, it would appear the Saints batsmen are under a lot of pressure. For the Saints, this means Tom Mills needs to play and score runs to support Riley Taylor, Adam Haslett, and Sam Summers. Swifts-Great Western will be keen to maintain its ladder position and will look to its batsmen to overcome leading wicket-taker Haslett, together with Mills, and Summers. – One Short

Big match set to unfold T

BY DEAN LAWSON

wo of Horsham Cricket Association’s leading A Grade protagonists will draw swords on Saturday in what looms as one of the best games of the season.

Ladder leader Noradjuha-Toolondo takes on West Wimmera at Horsham City Oval and predictions are that runs aplenty will flow as batsmen target short boundaries. Victories to both teams last weekend has set up a gripping tangle sure to put all players under the griller. Sheer weight of runs provided West Wimmera with a comfortable win over Jung Tigers last week, Nathan Alexander leading the way with a century at the top of the order. Alexander opened the innings and only left the crease after his team had chalked up 167. The Tigers had been fortunate to snare Mitch Dahlenburg cheaply and took wickets at the other end but Alexander was there to stay and had important support from Trevor Polkinghorne, 36. The Westerners then turned up the heat with the ball, again courtesy of Alexander and co, young all-rounders Codi Kenny, 31 not

ponents at their headquarters. Horsham Saints will also be keen to get out of the blocks after missing an opportunity last week and meet Rupanyup-Minyip at Rupanyup. The Saints are asking Corey Smith, Sebastian Dalgleish and Josh Hedt to shoulder plenty with the bat and Jono Carroll the same with the ball. Byrne will be hungry to continue his form for the Blue Panthers and will be a key wicket. This week: Noradjuha-Toolondo v West Wimmera at Horsham City Oval, Rupanyup-Minyip v Horsham Saints at Rupanyup, Jung Tigers v Homers at Horsham Community Oval. Last week: West Wimmera 8-216 (N. Alexander 103, T. Polkinghorne 36) d Jung Tigers (C. Kenny 31no, T. Puls 27; H. Smith 4-25), Noradjuha-Toolondo 171 (J. Beddison 43no, M. Combe 30, K. Hair 25; C. Morgan 3-49) d Rupanyup-Minyip 7-166 (J. Byrne 96, B. Young 29), Horsham Saints 3-82 (S. Dalgleish 29, C. Smith 27) drew with Homers. Ladder: Noradjuha-Toolondo 24 points, 1.18 percent; Homers 21, 1.52; West Wimmera 18, 1.42, Jung Tigers 12, 0.89; Rupanyup-Minyip 12, 0.88; Horsham Saints 3 0.40.

out, and Tyler Puls, 27, offering the main Tigers resistance. The best figures came from Henry Smith, who cleaned up the tail to claim 4-25. Noradjuha-Toolondo meanwhile, had a closer game against Rupanyup-Minyip at Rupanyup, where it managed to defend 171, having the home side 7-166 by the end of the overs. Josh Beddison, 43 not out, Matt Combe, 30, Kent Hair, 25 and Troy Dumesny, 24, all had productive time at the wicket for the winners while Corey Morgan captured 3-49. The best knock of the game came from the Blue Panthers’ Jamie Byrne, who fell four tantalising runs short of making a ton. Byrne made 96 from 124 balls, clipping six fours during his knock. He watched a variety of teammates come and go, Bailey Young the most productive of them with 29. Homers are within the early leader mix with the Bullants and West Wimmera and take on Jung Tigers in a hard-wicket clash at Horsham Community Oval. Homers had to be content with a draw with Horsham Saints last week amid weather uncertainty and will find the Tigers tough op-

Long-awaited return to the pool A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

return to swim meets in the Wimmera has provided regional competitors a chance to get back into action following a long break from the sport.

Wimmera swimmers will look to Warracknabeal Swimming Club for the second round of a Wimmera District 12 swimming competition later this month. Regional talent dipped back into the pool for competitive races at Horsham War Memorial Swimming Pool early on Saturday morning. The meet was the first time swimmers could participate in the sport in nearly nine months after pools across the state were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Club president Diedre Harrington said COVID-safe planning and co-ordination with Swim Victoria and other authorities enabled the club to be competition ready. “We went through a lot of avenues to get the meet up and running – it was a big learning curve for us as well as other clubs,” she said. Horsham Sharks Swimming Club was one of the first in the state to run a meet. Ms Harrington said the club’s ability to run the event attracted 63 swimmers from Ararat, Warracknabeal, St

FRESH START: Forbes Kirk, St Arnaud, competes at a Wimmera District 12 meet at Horsham War Memorial Swimming Pool. Arnaud, the Grampians and Horsham. Swimmers further afield from Hamilton and Warrnambool also competed. “Hamilton, which hasn’t been able to train, sent 12 swimmers and Warrnambool sent swimmers as well,” Ms Harrington said. “It was good for the local swimmers to provide an extra bit of competition. “Up until Friday night, there had been no swim meets in Victoria –

Mildura hosted a swim meet Friday night.” Ms Harrington said despite a long break and ‘less-than favourable’ weather, swimmers were at the top of their game. “We even had swimmers achieve their personal-best times, despite the rough weather,” she said. “To get back to that mentality of competitive swimming is so beneficial for people’s physical health and

for their mental health as well. And for parents and families the events become a bit of a social outing for people in the region – it was just great to see people happy and with smiles on their faces.” Grampians Swimming Club competitor Dylan Ryan was the one to beat at the weekend, firming his position as winner of open men’s 100-metre backstroke and butterfly events, while Horsham Sharks swimmer Jorja Clode won the open women’s 100-metre butterfly and backstroke events. Horsham Sharks swimmer Tom Urquhart scored the most points for the day, securing a ‘Jenkin Trophy’. Sharks’ Sienna Walsgott and Henry

Walsgott followed closely in second and third, respectively. Ms Harrington said Warracknabeal Swimming Club would host an ‘encouragement meet’ on December 19, when non-club members could participate. She said the summer season competition was primed to continue and swimmers could expect Wimmera championships to take place in late February 2021. “We have the whole season planned out from a district point of view. Hopefully things will return to normal and we can run even smoother events next year,” she said.

Christmas camp H

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Pony Club members put their horses through their paces at a two-day end-of-year Christmas camp at Riverside Recreation Reserve.

Club district commissioner Kylie Fiedler said about 20 participants, aged between six and 21, enjoyed a wide range of activities throughout the weekend. She said a stockman’s challenge was a highlight of Saturday’s action. The challenge consisted of a range of activities in the indoor arena, plus showjumping and cross-country sections and a quiz about good horsemanship. “We had several activities in the indoor arena, such as picking up sticks from a drum, knocking over pegs, trotting around witches hats, walking over a mat – which some horses don’t like, walking sideways along a pole and so on,” Mrs Fiedler said. “In the showjumping round, there were up to 10 jumps which kept getting bigger, and the kids could pull out at any time. “We did the same with the cross country. At the end of all the rounds, we tallied up the scores and announced winners for each age group.” Mrs Fiedler said Justin Lane brought a retired racehorse to the reserve, allowing participants to drive in the sulky, with a scavenger hunt in the dark rounding out the day’s activities. Sunday’s agenda included trail and showjumping practice, particularly for pony club members who will be vying for state selection at Bealiba at the weekend. Polocrosse competitor Dave Caulfield also attended to provide instruction and lead a game. “Dave has been coming to rallies, when we’ve been able to have them, and the kids really enjoy having him come along,” Mrs Fiedler said. Mr Caulfield has set up a polocrosse course on his Miga Lake property and said he enjoyed teaching pony club members the finer points of the sport. The team sport is a cross between polo and la-

crosse and is played on horseback. Mr Caulfield developed an interest in polocrosse at eight years of age, thanks to an uncle who used to play the sport in Queensland. “I’ve been playing all these years,” Mr Caulfield said. “Obviously with working there’s a few years I didn’t play, but now I’m right back into it.” Mr Caulfield represented Victoria at a polocrosse competition in New Zealand last year. “That was a good experience – it was a lot of fun,” he said. “It was good to play at international level on horses you don’t ride every day.” Mr Caulfield is a member of Casterton Polocrosse Club, which is among six clubs across the state to host Polocrosse Victoria carnivals and practice sessions. “In the Wimmera, I’m the only polocrosse player, but going towards Naracoorte and Casterton and everywhere, there are a lot more,” he said. “Polocrosse is a great sport and requires good hand-eye co-ordination. “Trying to control your horse at the same time is a completely different level of riding and sport.” Mr Caulfield said he enjoyed sharing his love of polocrosse with young equestrian enthusiasts. “I come in here once a month with all the kids, which is a bit of fun,” he said. “It’d be good to be able to start a club here, but the mums would have to have very good accounts. It’s not a cheap sport to play, but it is a lot of fun.” Horsham Pony Club leaders handed out annual awards to conclude the weekend. Club members will now enjoy a break until February. The club hosts a rally on the first Sunday of each month, bar January. People interested in learning more about the club can attend a ‘come and try’ session. Mrs Fiedler said people could send a message to the club via the Horsham Pony Club Facebook page or talk to a member for more information.

The Cougars had been keen for a 12-month merger with Wimmera league club Nhill. Many Nhill members were receptive to a merger but more interested in a longer-term arrangement and voted against the motion.
