Ready to deliver BY SARAH MATTHEWS

hile the coronavirus pandemic has undoubtedly hit many Wimmera industries hard, a Horsham business owner is capitalising on circumstances created by lockdown measures to forge ahead with a new venture.

Stewart Neighbour, who owns Nourish’d Eatery in Roberts Avenue, will launch Big Boy Burger Co on Thursday next week. Mr Neighbour said although the hospitality industry had been one of the hardest hit by government regulations to help stop the spread of COVID-19, it had forced business owners to rethink – and in some cas-

es, reinvent – the way they operated. “A lot of businesses, particularly in hospitality, have worked hard to come out of the pandemic bigger and better,” he said. The hospitality industry’s adaptation has in some ways created benefits for Wimmera consumers, with customers enjoying greater access to restaurantquality food from the comfort of their own homes. Many Wimmera hotels, cafés and restaurants have adapted their services to include takeaway and delivery options, several are making the most of online ordering and others are using their forced closure as an opportunity to complete renovations.

Horsham’s Seers Smokehouse owners are also working on an expansion project and are planning to open a drive-through café and bakery in the old Red Rooster building on Dimboola Road. Mr Neighbour, who has been a chef for almost 13 years, said his desire to grow his business portfolio had been in the pipeline for some time, however a spike in demand for quality homedelivered food encouraged him to strike while the iron was hot. “Before I bought Nourish’d, starting a burger joint was a concept I was looking into,” he said. “Horsham needed one, people were telling me that. But Nourish’d was

too good an opportunity to pass up. I’d been working in high-end cafes and it was a comfortable move for me, coming back to Horsham after 10 years away. “In my head, I didn’t think I’d start a burger joint for two years, but because of the current environment, it was time to reassess. “At the end of the day, I need to survive and I need to find gaps in the market and work out what I can do to fill them.” Mr Neighbour said a $10,000 government grant and early access to superannuation helped make his dream a reality. “I’m sinking nearly every last cent I

have into it, but I am very confident it will succeed,” he said. “Big Boy Burger Co is something I created, but it is something I would look to franchise in the future.” In its infancy, Big Boy Burger Co will be a delivery-only business. Mr Neighbour plans to operate the new venture out of his Roberts Avenue premises. “I am going to operate as a ‘dark kitchen’, which is the first time something like this has happened in Horsham,” he said. “A dark kitchen is one that operates out of a regular kitchen, but is purely delivery only.” Continued page 3

Main-street traders seek support A

BY DEAN LAWSON

block of Firebrace Street traders desperate to remain open in Horsham are waiting for a favourable outcome from months of discussions with their Horsham council landlord. The trading group, representing businesses on the east side of Firebrace Street from Horsham Post Office to Roberts Avenue, has been negotiating with the council on a rate-relief plan. Horsham Rural City Council owns much of the block from its inheritance of former Wimmera Shire offices and leases shops to a variety of businesses. One of the businesses is home to sound-system specialist Chisholm Hi-Fi and owner Jeff Allan said the cost of rent during the COVID-19

lockdown had and continued to pinch hard. “Rent plays such a huge role in budgeting when it comes to commercial trading, especially in the main street of Horsham. Many businesses have taken a significant financial hit,” he said. “Overcoming this financial burden is critical for businesses to get back on their feet.” Mr Allan confirmed the trading group had been party to a series of discussions with councillors and council staff since March and was anxious about how the council might help and what provisions might be attached to any agreements. He said an initial offer of simply deferring rent payments, while well

meaning, fell well short of addressing major financial shortfalls and simply compounded the issue. “Deferral of rent, while perhaps working okay as a very short-term easing of pressure, doesn’t really help the bottom line, and these costs never go away,” he said. “So we’re hoping for something that is a bit more profound that gives us greater confidence to move forward. “We know of several private commercial landlords that have offered reductions in fees and other helpful responses and we’ve had some councillors who have told us they are keen to support us in some way. “We’re well aware that asking for this type of help is unusual. But trading circumstances have also obviously

been unusual and stressful. And we’ve been keen to follow the government directive of tenants and landlords discussing a way through this dilemma. “We’re open to and welcome whatever the council can provide. “But whatever they come up with, to seriously help, must be realistic and ultimately support us with a bottom line.”

Committed

Horsham council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the council was ‘very much’ aware of economic circumstances businesses and families had been confronting during the pandemic. “We are committed to providing assistance that is both meaningful for businesses operators and acceptable

Stewart ‘striking while the iron is hot’ From page 1 “You see them a lot in Melbourne and other big cities. It reduces overheads and companies can partner with businesses such as Uber Eats or Deliveroo to distribute their products,” Mr Neighbour said. By using his Nourish’d Eatery premises, Mr Neighbour has been able to get his second business up and running quickly. He was quick to point out, however, the businesses would remain completely separate. “I have spent a lot of money on extra benches, fridges and freezers to ensure two completely separate work stations,” he said. “There will be no cross-contamination between the two. “We will also have two different sets of staff who will work at different times, without overlapping.” Mr Neighbour said he had hired between eight and 10 new staff across kitchen and delivery roles. Big Boy Burger Co will operate between 4.30pm and 9.30pm from Thursday to Sunday. Customers will be able to place orders via a company website or mobile phone app. Mr Neighbour said he hoped to create a dine-in option within six to 12 months. “I want to get it up and running smoothly first and this will give me time to plan,” he said. “The feedback has been awesome. It has been stressful, but it’s also super exciting.”

Big Boy Burger Co is the next step in Mr Neighbour’s long-term vision for the region’s hospitality industry. “I want this to be more than just a burger place,” he said. “I want it to be a hub for youth – people in their late teens and early 20s – and families. “I want to create somewhere that has a vibe – that is cool and has music and has a culture, that’s different from going to the pubs and getting messy or driving up and down the main street with a loud sub-woofer.” Mr Neighbour said he hoped other

businesses would follow suit and help him create a hub, similar to that of Little Malop Street in Geelong. “It’s an awesome place with artwork on brick walls and a great vibe,” he said. “There’s a wine bar, live music, a fried chicken joint and an ice creamery. “They are all high quality and it is a destination, particularly for people who want a fun night out away from the clubs with good food and hospitality. “I hope other businesses are will-

ing to embrace this idea and I hope it helps bring the standard of hospitality up in Horsham.” Mr Neighbour said he enjoyed the concept of businesses working together to create a complementary environment. “I wish success for all businesses,” he said. “I want them to do well. I want them to produce the best products that they can and strive to do better because it lifts the quality of the industry in Horsham.”

for all ratepayers in the municipality,” he said. “As per the National Cabinet Mandatory Code of Conduct, businesses who lease council properties are able to apply for rent concessions. “These are based on the reduction of income due to the pandemic compared with the same time last year. “The Code of Conduct sets eligibility criteria that businesses must be eligible to receive JobKeeper payments. “The council will extend the criteria to include all businesses occupying council-owned properties that have been impacted by COVID-19. “We are committed to continue meeting all eligible businesses owners to discuss their options for assistance.”

Response key to Stawell plan Response to a community survey will help guide and shape the future of Stawell. Northern Grampians Shire Council wants to hear directly from the community via the survey to help plan for Stawell Town Plan: A Vision for the Future. People can fill out the survey online by visiting website www.ngshire.vic. gov.au/stawell-plan or pick up hard copies from customer service centres in Stawell and St Arnaud. People have until June 20 to complete the survey and also have an invitation to provide written submissions by August 7. The Stawell Town Plan: A Vision for the Future will provide direction for development and investment with a particular focus on a town centre and Western Highway precinct to enhance Stawell’s reputation as a place to live, work, invest in and visit. A major priority will be to guide the preferred location, type and use of new development in Stawell and to accommodate population and economic growth for the next 20 to 30 years. Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson said community engagement was crucial to ensuring the plan provided direction for what people needed and wanted. “We need to hear from you. This is a project that must be informed by the people of our shire to ensure the people’s vision for the future is heard, considered and implemented. This is your town and I encourage everyone to have your say about its future and how that will look,” he said.

Council: Vilification laws need clarity A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

rural Wimmera council believes more specific conditions need to be written into Victorian law to prevent people publicly displaying the Nazi swastika.

Earlier this year Beulah made international and national headlines after a couple flew a Nazi flag over a house. Following complaints from Beulah community, Victoria Police and Yarriambiack Shire Council convinced the couple to remove the flag. The incident revealed enforcement limitations police and the council had when dealing with offensive materials such as the flag. It also prompted the council to make a submission to a State Government

inquiry into anti-vilification laws under the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001. The inquiry, exploring the effectiveness of and potential of expanding anti-vilification laws, has attracted more than 50 submissions from across Victoria. Yarriambiack council chief executive Jessie Holmes said laws would need to change to set out, specifically, what was and was not, legal. “There would need to be some really clear definitions around what you could and couldn’t do, which gave a direct power to act, because people will always find the grey areas,” she said. “So, whoever had the authority, whether that’s local government or

Victoria Police, had really black-andwhite language to say, ‘regardless of the intent of flying the flag, with the exemption of museums and artefacts, it is not to be on display’.” Under current law, the requirement is to prove that conduct could incite others to feel hatred, contempt or revulsion for a victim. Victoria Police can also investigate vilification offences that encourage violence against people. The commission has recommended changing wording of the law from ‘incites hate’ to ‘expresses or is reasonably likely to incite hate or strong feelings’. Mrs Holmes said the Beulah incident proved the council and police had little authority to remove the flag.

“We didn’t have a legal leg to stand on – the legal advice we received was it would have cost us double our annual legal budget to prosecute the case,” she said. “We spent quite a lot of resources in getting legal opinions and collaborating with Victoria Police in order to have the flag removed.” Mrs Holmes said it was clear the flag had caused offence and was unacceptable in the Beulah community. “The community was really clear that it was in no way a reflection of how the community felt,” she said. “What people equate that flag with is white supremacy and racism – there’s symbolism around that flag, and people know that.” She said the right to freedom of

expression needed balance with what was acceptable in modern society. “In a civil society, you have rights, but you also have responsibilities. People agree to live in society on the basis that those responsibilities and rights are agreed upon by common agreement of the community,” she said. “In this circumstance the rights and responsibilities to not fly that type of flag outweighs the rights of being able to display this particular flag, which was the common agreement of the community.” Yarriambiack Shire Council attended a May 28 hearing via video conference to submit its case to the inquiry. Inquiry submissions remain open until September 1.

Thumbs-up for Hindmarsh An annual community-satisfaction survey has given Hindmarsh Shire Council a tick of approval. Results from the survey in March and April showed the council performed ‘significantly’ higher than other small Victorian rural councils in areas of lobbying, waste management and community decisions. The council scored higher than the average of all small Victorian rural councils in 16 areas, which included overall performance, overall council direction, customer service, appearance of public areas, elderly-support services, recreational facilities, enforcement of local laws, streets and footpaths, business-community development and tourism, consultation and engagement, informing

the community, building and planning permits, and slashing and weed control. Hindmarsh mayor Rob Gersch said results provided the council with valuable information on areas of importance to the community. “It shows the community has a positive perception of council performance,” he said. “The council will continue to lobby strongly to both state and federal governments to ensure Hindmarsh is able to continue to provide services to our communities.” The survey showed the overall performance of the council to be higher than both the average of all small Victorian rural councils and the statewide average of all councils.

NEW SET: Greg Fletcher gives his children Lucas, 5, and Fleur, 8, a push at Wonwondah Hall. The swing set will be replaced with money from Horsham Rural City Council.

Horsham Rural City Council is providing community organisations with the money through its Community Grants and Donations Program. Each year the council allocates money to support community and sporting groups as part of its budget process.

used a ranking system to assess the applications for 2020-21 before presenting a final list to councillors for consideration. Criteria included an organisation’s ability to contribute with in-kind support or cash for projects, whether they had previously received a grant and whether projects aligned with council goals and plans. “The idea of the ranking system is to provide some general guidance for assessors and greater transparency in the assessment process,” he said.

We’ve seen national, state and regional responses to a crisis that has twisted our expectations in various directions and shown us what it is to lose the many freedoms we have taken for granted. If there is one glaring, albeit curious observation, it is our society’s love of competitive sport. News of what’s happening in the AFL has been, amazingly, more important than just about anything to some people – all keen to rekindle their love affair with their beloved teams. It’s an affair they will resume from tomorrow night when the professional season gets back underway. This type of response clearly tells us just how important sport, in its various guises, is to a large percentage of the population. Sport, especially community team-based sport, has always been an integral part of regional communities and the sound of whistles, cheering and shouts floating on the wind on weekends has been notable by its absence. While much attention has focused on the

winter standards of football, netball, hockey and soccer and the wait indoor pastimes such as basketball have had to endure, now is an opportune time for summer sports enthusiasts to start planning new directions. As people of all ages emerge from restrictions in the coming months, many are likely to have a fresh appreciation of what competitive community team sport has to offer. Cricket and tennis immediately spring to mind, but there is also lawn bowling and other community-engagement pastimes. It’s been no secret that traditional summer sports in the Wimmera have struggled to generate the same level of interest than in the past. Participation numbers have fallen off dramatically – players of all levels who previously would have taken up the challenge have been sitting idle in summer. This was happening well before any sign of COVID-19. Summer sporting groups need to act quickly to assess evolving social circumstances to develop and promote their competitions, clubs, facilities and services and tap into any renewed participation interest. We have probably never had a better opportunity to start with a clean slate to rebuild not only our summer sports, but sport in general. And the thinking should be more than simply ‘getting back on the horse’. It is time for exploring something new and to thrash out ideas and approaches, even new competitions for Wimmera, southern Mallee and Grampians communities to develop stronger connections. It is time to start moving, so more people can get moving and motivated in the months ahead.

Roadmap to ruin

SIR, – The long-awaited Grampians Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions is a very superficial document that offers no practical solutions. At $13,000 per page it’s poor value for money. Around two thirds of our electricity is constant base-load supply that keeps industry, businesses, hospitals and our homes functioning 24-7. Bioenergy can deliver this base-load electricity at current prices, mainly using agricultural waste our farmers already produce. The roadmap proposes wind and solar as our primary source of energy but this variable technology requires much more generating capacity to supply our constant needs and enormous amounts of storage to overcome its variability. The cost of the additional capacity and storage is huge and would need substantially increased electricity prices to pay for it. The roadmap also proposes using hydrogen as an alternative fuel for heavy transport and farm machinery.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

If a farm used 10,000 litres of diesel each year and wanted to replace this with hydrogen produced on farm, it would require 120 kW of solar PV to produce the electricity required to produce the 3.1-tonne of hydrogen needed. The current price for rooftop PV is about $2000 per kW giving a system price of $240,000. Adding the hydrogen production and storage system would see a total investment of $400,000 or more to replace a $12,000-a-year cost. The technology already exists to turn agricultural waste into diesel at current prices so proposing hydrogen makes no sense. The most bizarre proposals in the roadmap are for the region’s farmers to replace half their farms with native vegetation. The loss of farm income and economic impact on the region would be catastrophic. Rather than a highway to energy security and economic prosperity, the roadmap is a dodgy track to unaffordable energy and economic ruin. Daryl Scherger Ararat Wednesday, June 10, 2020

A strong sense of community Bruce Meyer – OAM

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ong-serving West Wimmera councillor Bruce Meyer first entered Kaniva’s council chamber as a schoolboy on an excursion.

Each student was given a role to represent one of the nine councillors and he was selected as ‘shire president’, ‘chairing’ a council meeting. He declared then and there he would be back one day, serving his community for real. Cr Meyer was elected to Shire of Kaniva for the first time in 1993 and was the inaugural mayor of the new West Wimmera Shire Council following amalgamation in 1995. On Monday, in his seventh term as mayor, Cr Meyer won recognition for his service to local government and the West Wimmera community. Cr Meyer features on this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List, appointed a Member of the Order of Australia, OAM. A fourth-generation Kaniva farmer, Cr Meyer grew up with a strong sense of community spirit running through his veins. “I’ve always believed in loyalty to your own community and being a councillor is a great way to show that loyalty,” he said. “We have a very close-knit community here. People are very loyal to their community and they support each other.” Cr Meyer said he had opportunities to pursue a different path, including several offers for university scholarships once he finished high school. “My school marks were high enough I could have walked into any university I chose and done any course I wanted to, but I wasn’t interested,” he said. Cr Meyer said he never considered giving up a life on the land, with his strong interest in agriculture merely part of his gene pool. Like his predecessors, Cr Meyer became heavily involved in Kaniva Agricultural and Pastoral Society from

HONOURED: West Wimmera Shire mayor Bruce Meyer has been awarded an OAM for his service to local government and the West Wimmera community. a young age. He has been a member and volunteer since the 1960s, was president for six years, vice-president for 10 and a steward. “Both my grandfathers, Jack Meyer and Tom Parker, were very prominent showmen. They were well known in Clydesdale ranks,” he said. “My father has judged Clydesdales at four different royal shows. “Various members of the family have been involved in the show society in general – it’s in our genes, you might say.”

Show judging

Cr Meyer used to show poultry and has judged poultry competitions across Victoria and South Australia. He has also judged photography and crop competitions. “I do believe the best way to get something out of shows is to exhibit,” he said. “You definitely get more out of it that way than if you’re just going along for a look.” While Cr Meyer loved showing poultry, his participation declined after his council workload increased.

“When you’re showing animals you need to have time to look after them properly, all the time,” he said. “That becomes hard when you have to go away for conferences, so I gave it up.” Cr Meyer said he had been lucky to make a wide range of contacts and friends throughout his time in local government. “You tend to form relationships with like-minded people,” he said. “When you go to a big MAV conference you always see the rural councillors band together. Across the Wimmera, all the councillors know each other. We are like a big family.” Cr Meyer considers the sealing of a ‘local’ road at Kaniva affected by the decommissioning of the barley industry among his biggest wins as a councillor. “It caused great controversy at the time,” he said. “The chief executive at the time was determined it was not going to be done. Some of the staff and majority of the councillors felt the same way.” Cr Meyer said he was determined

to find a solution and worked with VicRoads to discover the State Government had a duty to provide money for the road. He led a delegation to the then roads minister – and won. “I got that road sealed without any cost to council,” he said. “It’s just an example of one of the things you can pull off when everyone else seems to be against you. “A lot of the time in local government you have to dig your heels in, but you’ve also got to be patient.”

Sport and faith

Cr Meyer has also dedicated a significant amount of time to sporting pursuits, as both a leader and a participant, along with roles in the Presbyterian church. “The church has been a big part of my life. I’ve been an elder for 47 years, second clerk for 46 years and on the board of management for 49 years,” he said. “I reckon I’ve run 500 church services and 20 funerals at Kaniva, Nhill and other places. “My great-grandfather was a long-

standing elder and my grandmother and mother were also connected – our family has been connected to the church right from establishment.” Cr Meyer was granted a ‘Plaque of the Church’ in 2015. He is also a life member of Kaniva Agricultural and Pastoral Society, Tatiara Cricket Association and Kaniva Bowls Club. “I think I’ve held every position on the bowls club board bar treasurer,” Cr Meyer said. “I played for the Wimmera a few times and won club championships. “Bowls is a game that gets in people’s blood. Most people enjoy it and it’s social. It keeps people happy, and I think, alive for longer.” Cr Meyer played 300 games with Kaniva Football Club and played cricket for 30 years, captaining four different Kaniva sides. “Sport is in our blood a bit too,” he said. Cr Meyer is also chairman of Kaniva Museum and Historical Collection Committee and was former director of Desert Fringe Regional Waste Management Group. He has juggled his council work and plethora of community leadership roles while running the family farm. “One year I was mayor, secretary of the bowling club, president of the show society and sessions clerk,” he said. “I had four major jobs, plus the farm work, which I was doing on my own.” These days, he runs the farm with his two sons. “I also have a daughter, who lives in Nhill, and three grandchildren,” he said. “Family support is absolutely vital. A lot of the things I have done, my wife, Wendy, has been right beside me and played a major role. “All of this work I have done, it’s not just me doing it. “But we are all happy to be involved – it is an important part of being part of a community. “I greatly believe in loyalty to your community.”

HONOUR: Gary Aitken’s passion for the river environment and the role it can play in community health has been recognised with a Member of the Order of Australia. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Wednesday 17 June, 2020

Recognition for river campaigner BY DEAN LAWSON

life-long dedication to the environment and community has provided Horsham’s Gary Aitken with a Queen’s Birthday Honour.

Mr Aitken, 83, who for decades has worked to strengthen the bond between Wimmera and southern Mallee people and the Wimmera River catchment, has become a Member of the Order of Australia. Mr Aitken has been a part of Wimmera River Improvement Committee for 20 years, where he has been able to promote his passion for the river environment and the role it can play in community health. He said his award took him by surprise. “It’s hard to put into words, except that I feel very humbled by it,” he said. “Honestly, words fail me. You don’t go through life seeking these things and volunteering is just everything for people like us in the bush.” Mr Aitken, who with his wife Beverley have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, developed his interest in the environment as a youngster growing up on the edge of Lake Lascelles at Hopetoun. He said a shortage of room in the family home meant he spent nights on a back verandah that faced onto the lake. “I grew up with birds, the frogs, the night birds – that’s where my interest started,” he said. “My playground was all things natural and it grew on me from there.”

In the genes

But Mr Aitken’s association with the land had already been ingrained into his genes. His grandfather arrived in the Mallee as a chauffeur for early developers, who would have been involved in the early days of the Wimmera-Mallee channel system, and his father had also been deeply involved in water-system connection. Mr Aitken became a mechanic after leaving school and as a volunteer joined the fire brigade. And, as ‘par for the course’ put up his hand to help with Hopetoun Bush Nursing Hospital, where he took charge of lighting and helped establish an automatic power system. He said his training as a mechanic came in handy in his early years of farming to compensate for hardship caused by drought and wheat quotas. The Aitkens then bought a farm at Tarranyurk, Wednesday, June 10, 2020

where they spent many years and where Mr Aitken fostered his passion for an early version of Landcare, while also getting involved in community activities. “When we eventually developed at Tarranyurk, it was the early days of a river strategy, before the days of the catchment management authority, and I represented the northern region system,” he said. “That connection took me to Canberra and Murray Darling Basin discussions. “Because of my total interest in it, I was delighted. I thought it was fantastic to go to Canberra with blokes like Barry Clugston.” Mr Aitken’s planning involvement led to him being part of a Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Project Reference Group, which steered the way for one of the biggest infrastructure projects in Victorian history. “When we eventually came to Horsham, there was no way Bev was going to live anywhere not near the river, so we bought a block of land close to wetlands near the weir,” he said. “It was a bare paddock at the time, you wouldn’t recognise it now.” Mr Aitken continued to pursue his interest in the river environment and how to shape it for the health of the community. His history of service shows him as a long-time member of Wimmera River improvement and Horsham Tidy Towns committees and he is also a Horsham Urban Landcare Group member. He has played a key role in establishing many of the river walking and cycling tracks people are using. His OAM is the latest in a growing collection of significant accolades, following his Keep Victoria Beautiful Dame Phyllis Frost Award from last year. Mr Aitken’s daughter Lyn, in Mackay, and son Roger, in Darwin, called on Monday, offering congratulations on his latest award. Mr Aitken said the greatest appreciation anyone could have was to see people benefitting from work projects. He also encouraged people to ‘slow down and have a look around’. “The world is spinning too fast. People should take time out to sit and listen to what our river has to offer,” he said.

Passion drives farming leader Andrew Weidemann – AM

BY DEAN LAWSON

o suggest Rupanyup district farmer Andrew Weidemann has a passion for agriculture would be an understatement.

Mr Weidemann, 55, has lived and breathed the industry since his childhood and his love of what it means and takes to help feed the world and the lifestyle it represents is unwavering. It is his relentless dedication to ensure broadacre farming, in particular grain production in the Wimmera, Victoria and Australia, marches forward that has won him recognition in the latest Queen’s Birthday honours. Mr Weidemann, with a lengthy roll of state and national agricultural accolades and representation roles matched only by his list of communityengagement positions, has become a Member in the General Division of the Order of Australia, AM. He said the recognition was humbling, especially considering the scarcity of agricultural representatives in this year’s honours list. “I suppose it’s a reflection of my family’s contribution to agriculture over a long period of time. And it is certainly not something I’m going to give up tomorrow,” he said. Mr Weidemann and his wife Julie, and his brother Rodney and wife Andrea, work in partnership on their family farm, Sunnydale. His interest in farming, while ‘in the genes’, goes much deeper than simply working the land to provide a living for his family. He said he saw the industry as a regenerating legacy that generations of farmers passed on, and it was important this continued. “I’ve certainly grown up with it. My English teacher Kerryn Smith at Murtoa High School used to get very frustrated with me because I would continually write about farming and agriculture in every essay I did,” he said. “I look back and giggle about it and she would too.”

Beyond the farm gate

Mr Weidemann’s passion would take him well beyond the farm gate and into heady meeting rooms of international trade, development and debate. He has been Grains Producers Australia chairman since 2013, had lengthy stints as a Victorian Farmers Federation representative, Birchip Cropping Group executive member and a key figure in national grains research and development. In 2013 he even represented Australia at the World Food Prize and is now one of about 150 members of a Global Farmer Network. “I never thought I would be chairman of a national body or even something at state level, but you kind of fall into these positions if you are passionate enough,” he said. “And I’m passionate about research, innovation and what’s available for farmers. “It’s about trying to make the next generation of farmers and farmer leaders better equipped

Our people are our wealth.” Mr Weidemann has always put his hand up to support his community as well as his industry, having been in many volunteer sporting, firefighting and community-development leadership roles. His influence and position in business, industry and rural life has even led to him appearing in national television commercials. “I love to promote agriculture and what we do – it’s what I’m passionate about,” he said. “I want to make sure people see what we do is not a hayseed job. “It’s very sophisticated and people should be proud of the work they do to feed the world.”

FIVE-DAY forecast

Back Aussie-made Western Victorian federal parliamentarians have urged people across the region to ‘join the Aussie-made club’ in a new campaign to promote Australian-made produce. Education Minister and Member for Wannon Dan Tehan and Member for Mallee Anne Webster are promoting the push. “I know everyone wants to do their bit to help in our economic recovery,” Dr Webster said. “I encourage residents to go to the Australian Made website and literally join the club – it’s free, you get offers and discounts, and it helps you identify a range of Australian-made products.” Dr Webster said buying Australian-made products whenever possible was a practical way to back Australian producers and manufacturers. “When you buy Australian made you’re not just helping the local shop, you’re supporting Aussie manufacturers and all the businesses in their supply chains,” she said.

Wait is over for Woodbine

$1.2-million Federal Government grant means Warracknabeal disability-care agency Woodbine is finally on track to have state-of-the-art accommodation facilities.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster announced the money as part of a Building Better Regions Fund round that also included a financial commitment to Buloke Shire roads and Birchip streetscape projects. The Woodbine announcement means the organisation, which provides services for people with disabilities well beyond Warracknabeal, can push ahead with its $2.1-million project, earmarked as a replacement for ageing Harrop Lodge. Woodbine chief executive Bernie O’Connor said the news was ‘like a dream come true’. “When I first came here and saw what was called the ‘hostel’ I couldn’t believe it. It was 66 years old, been through mouse plagues and white ants had come and gone,” he said. “The truth is, it’s done a great job and we want to keep it for historical value, but it is totally obsolete.” Harrop Lodge, the oldest building at Woodbine, was built in 1954. The new centre, which will also include a $1.1-million commitment from Woodbine, will be behind Harrop Lodge in Craig Avenue. Mr O’Connor said the new centre would dramatically increase accommodation facilities, helping meet the pressing needs of clients, staff and visitors. He said Dr Webster had been an enthusiastic project supporter and Yarriambiack Shire Council chief

From left, Woodbine senior executive officer Jo Tobias, chief executive Bernie O’Connor and manager of client services Cathy Milne view plans. Picture: DYLAN DE JONG executive Jessie Holmes ‘absolutely fantastic’. “Without Jessie here we would have been really struggling. She prioritised the project in the shire and has provided a breath of fresh air,” he said. He added that Victorian Member for Lowan Emma Kealy had also provided strong support. Dr Webster said she was delighted to announce $4.2-million overall for six projects across her electorate. “I was overjoyed to learn that Woodbine in Warracknabeal has been successful in their application for $1.2-million to renovate their facilities and construct a new platinum-level disability accommodation centre for their residents,” she said. “Woodbine is one of the largest employers in Yarriambiack Shire, with more than 180 staff, and this project

will create new jobs and provide ongoing, superior care of Woodbine’s clients. Another six jobs will be created for the duration of the construction and refurbishment of the facilities. “Communities in Mallee are continuing to show amazing spirit and strength as they support each other through these tough times and I am glad to see this latest round will provide much-needed support at such a crucial time.”

Other projects

Other projects included in the funding round are Ouyen Livestock Exchange, Swan Hill Rural City Council sporting facilities in Swan Hill and Lake Boga, and Charlton 2020 multi-purpose centre. Deputy Prime Minister and Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development minister Michael Mc-

Cormack said the funding injection to support 163 new infrastructure and community projects across regional Australia came at a critical time. “Regional Australia has withstood one of the most devastating bushfire seasons, floods and now a global pandemic – to say they’ve been hit hard in recent times, is an understatement,” he said. “Their resilience will lead Australia’s recovery through grass-roots projects – creating jobs, boosting local economies and growing confidence in regional communities as a great place to live, work and invest.” Woodbine leaders had been expecting a response to a November, 2019 application for funding in February, just before the arrival of COVID-19. “It was a long wait but well worth it,” Mr O’Connor said.

Second stage solar money A project designed to save money through the use of renewable energy while improving services at East Grampians Health Service in Ararat district has gained momentum. The State Government will provide $650,000 for the second stage of an emPOWERing East Grampians Health Service solar project, to install solar car-park shelters in staff and visitor car parks. Confirmation of government funding came fresh after the group completed the first stage of the project – to install and commission solar panels to Willaura campus, a main Ararat Hospital building, Community Health Centre, support services, mental-health building, and 70 Lowe Street and Garden View Court aged care centres. East Grampians board chair Nancy Panter said the government funding allowed the group to increase solar power production and lower costs. “It helps us to deliver on our strategic objectives, while improving the customer experience by providing our community with undercover parking. It’s a win-win for our community,” she said. The completed stage of the solar project was possible through a bequest from Ararat businessman Joe Kapp. East Grampians Health Service chief executive Andrew Freeman thanked Ballarat Renewable Energy and Zero Emissions, BREAZE, for its support of the project. “It also provides an important economic stimulus to the region’s economy. We anticipate there will be opportunities for manufacture, installation and project management from businesses within the region,” he said.

Need for foster carers A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

‘critical shortage’ of foster carers has prompted Wimmera support workers to urge people across the region to come forward and help home vulnerable youth as the nation works through COVID-19.

Uniting Wimmera is ‘desperately’ appealing for more people to become foster carers. The organisation reported numbers of willing foster carers had significantly dropped through the pandemic and between five and 10 children were calling on support every week. Out of home care manager Philip Yew is urging more carers to come forward as the demand was limiting options to support vulnerable young people. “There’s a crisis in our community with how we support our vulnerable young people,” he said. “There’s a big area of resourcing needed to support these young people, who for no fault of their own, have come into the care system. “During COVID-19 we’ve seen a reduction in the inquiries for people to become foster carers – some of our carers are rightly needing to isolate, which is adding to the challenge. “You can’t just create placements, it takes time. It’s hard when we have to say ‘sorry we don’t have options available at the moment’.” Mr Yew said the organisation observed housing young people with extended family members, or ‘kinship care’, as a first preferred option, however, relied more heavily on willing foster carers. “The best form of care is kinship care because they have a connection with the family, go to the same schools and stay in the region, if possible,” he said. “If we can’t find a family member who can take care of them, then foster care comes after that. “When they find a carer, they go into a loving home with people they get to know and develop a relationship with, opposed to going through a residential care facility.” Mr Yew said foster carers played a key role in maximising a young person’s chance at fully developing or healing from trauma. “Foster carers are really crucial,” he said. “What we see, for a young person’s identity, is they get this sense that adults

CALL OUT: Uniting Wimmera recruitment and support manager Melanie Russell and out of home care manager Philip Yew want more people to consider joining a foster care program. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER reject them after more than one or two placements,” he said. “For a young person developing, that typically comes with mental health delays. “That’s associated to trauma – we try to give them a foster home that might be able to help them heal some of that trauma that they experienced as a young person too.”

Lack of options

Mr Yew said a lack of options meant it was more likely vulnerable youth would fall into residential housing or be referred out of the region – the organisation’s last preferred options. “We don’t have any vacancies in terms of placements or places these kids can go to, which means for the ones that keep coming through we have to send them out of the region sometimes,” he said. “That sense of grief and loss from being

separated from their parents and then shifting around the state is not a good situation for anyone’s psyche, particularly for a young person trying to learn, grow and develop. “We want to try to keep these kids in our community as much as possible.” Mr Yew said people interested in learning more about becoming a foster carer could call Melanie Russell on 5362 4000 or visit website www.unitingvictas.org.au/ foster-care. “Our training and assessment process takes between three and six months,” he said. “We are urging anyone with the slightest interest to get in touch now.” He said the organisation was also looking for people who could provide respite for its existing carers, including overnight or weekend stays.

In welcome news to sellers and buyers the Australian wool market rose for the second successive week. Fremantle did not sell this week, with only Melbourne and Sydney in operation the national quantity fell to 15,375 bales. This was the lowest national quantity since AWEX records began (1995). The wool market often acts with a mind of its own, this series however, the market followed conventional economic theory, the reduced supply attracted stronger demand. The result of this increased demand was general price rises across the board. As Sydney did not sell on the last selling day of the previous series, this centre enjoyed the largest rises. The individual Micron Price Guides generally rose by 2 to 30 cents, the only exceptions being the 16.5, 18.0 and 21.0 micron MPGs in the South which recorded very little change. The AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) added 13 cents for the series, closing the week at 1,183 cents, this equated to a modest 1.1% increase. Worth noting, due to the strengthening of the Australian dollar, the price increases when viewed in USD terms were more significant. The EMI rose by 44 USc for the series, closing the week at 821 USc, this was a rise of 5.3%. The limited offering of skirtings attracted strong demand, pushing prices higher, generally between 20 and 30 cents. The crossbreds also enjoyed rises this week. The MPGs for 26.0 to 28.0 rose by 12 to 41 cents. A limited offering of 32.0 micron wools were generally unchanged. The oddment market also continued to rise, again Sydney recorded the largest gains, catching up with the other centres. Gains in locks, stains and crutchings pushed the two carding indicators up by and average of 24 cents. Quantities increase next week as Fremantle rejoins Sydney and Melbourne on the selling program. Currently, there is 24,140 bales available to the trade.

JOBS BOOST: Wimmera Catchment Management Authority will employ 20 new staff to help with pest control and land management as part of a State Government response to create new jobs through COVID-19.

he Wimmera is set to benefit from a State Government project to create 80 full time equivalent jobs in agriculture across the state.

The move will establish 20 new jobs in the region as part of land and pest-management projects while providing employment opportunities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wimmera and Glenelg are among five catchment management authorities set to benefit from the job creation projects. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan said the new jobs would focus on projects that provided benefit for farmers and the wider agricultural industry. “The jobs will be throughout the Wimmera – we’ll be working with a range of partners and community organisations to identify sustainable agricultural projects,” he said. “We know in the Wimmera a number of industries have been hit hard by COVID-19, particularly the hospitality industry. “It will be a great outcome for agriculture. It will give people affected by COVID-19 an employment opportunity and they’ll learn new skills on the journey.” Mr Brennan said workers would be employed short-term with the hope of fostering long-term interest in agriculture. “No prior experience is necessary. We’re after a strong level of enthusiasm to participate and work with the agricultural sector and broader community,” he said. “We’re going to provide the participants training in agriculture – a range of skills that will be attractive to employers in the Wimmera.

“Workers will be employed for six months. Some people might transition into agriculture full-time.” Mr Brennan said the jobs would centre on helping agricultural landholders with land-management projects involving revegetation and weed control. “We’ll be focusing on sustainable agriculture outcomes, such as controlling pest weeds and animals, spraying nuisance weeds or pest plants, controlling rabbits or foxes,” he said. “If we remove the weeds it’s good for agriculture but also the environment, so we have a win-win scenario.” Mr Brennan said having a larger workforce meant CMA could focus on projects it was previously unable to carry out. “We didn’t have the human power or workforce to address these issues before,” he said. “We know and it’s well documented that pest plants and animals cost agriculture millions of dollars a year, whether that’s foxes taking sheep, rabbit damage or erosion.” Agriculture and Regional Development minister Jaclyn Symes said creating jobs was crucial to keep the Victorian economy moving as the government gradually eased restrictions. Successful applicants will be matched with positions through Working for Victoria, the government program helping jobseekers find work and employers find workers during the pandemic. The $50-million Agriculture Workforce Plan is designed to support businesses in regional, rural and outer metropolitan areas within key agriculture and food processing industries through job matching, case management, worker relocation needs and transport and training.

Nhill puts show on hold Nhill Agricultural and Pastoral Society has cancelled its annual October Nhill Show based on uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. Society president Darrell Hall confirmed the decision, adding the society would now look towards the popular event’s return next year. “Every October for 135 years the community, young and old, look forward to going to the Nhill Show, a once-a-year get-together with a huge variety of things to see and do,” he said. “Unfortunately, the 2020 October show will not be an event that we can look forward to.” Mr Hall said the committee urged the community to accept and respect the decision members had made. “It was a difficult one to make. Not only does it affect Nhill A and P Society financially, but many Wednesday, June 10, 2020

other organisations and our sponsors that use the show as a much-needed fundraiser and publicity opportunity,” he said. “The risks involved including insurance coverage, outweigh any benefits to the community. “As a region we are so fortunate not to have any cases of COVID-19 and the Nhill A and P show committee was not prepared to have an event that had the possibility of bringing any cases to our doorstep. “We are hoping that 2021 will be the year we can bring the show back, so you have plenty of time to master all those new craft and cooking skills that you have learnt over the past couple of months in lockdown, and consider putting in entries for the 2021 Nhill Show.”

‘You are not alone’ W

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera women and children fleeing domestic-violence situations will receive a pack of essential hygiene products as part of an Isolated, Not Alone campaign to support survivors and their families.

The Body Shop launched the campaign to combat a rise in domestic violence throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Company leaders say many people who are in abusive or violent situations are now more trapped and isolated than ever. The Body Shop has joined forces with Australia Says NO MORE, a campaign dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault by increasing awareness, inspiring action and fuelling change, across the country. Horsham domestic-violence survivor and anti-violence campaigner Simone O’Brien is among Australia Says NO MORE advocates. “I have a lot to do with the Australia Says NO MORE chief executive, who contacted me about The Body Shop joining forces with them and asked if we had any shelters in Horsham,” she said. “I explained that we don’t have any shelters as such, but all the services in the region work together as a team. “I was excited when The Body Shop said they would send us the gift packs anyway, which the services can use to distribute to women and children who have to leave home quickly. “I am stoked they are involved and have not overlooked us here in Horsham because we are not a major city. “Unfortunately, Horsham is one of the worst towns for domestic violence in the state.” Mrs O’Brien, who suffered an horrific attack at the hands of her ex-fiancé in 2012, has turned her remarkable journey of recovery into a tool to help others. She now travels across Australia to share her story, impart knowledge and empower commu-

nities to stand up and speak out against domestic violence. “When you have to flee a violent situation, you leave everything,” she said. “Whether the police have come or you’ve just run out the door to get help, you don’t think to grab a toothbrush or deodorant or anything. “Thanks to The Body Shop, we now have 50 packs to give out to women and children who have to leave home with nothing other than the shirts on their backs. “Waking up in the morning and having a toothbrush to brush your teeth with is the best feeling. “It means you are loved – that you have support behind you and you are not alone.” Mrs O’Brien, who is also an ambassador for Wimmera Committee Against Family Violence, said the region’s support workers would hand out the packs in appropriate situations. “Police, the Salvation Army, the Wimmera Sexual Assault and Family Violence Support Centre, health-care groups – you name it, they all work together to help people in abusive situations and they do a wonderful job,” she said. “They all bounce off each other and work to make a safer place for the community.” Mrs O’Brien said she feared the pandemic was exacerbating sexual and domestic-violence situations in the region. “My biggest fear has been for the children who see school as a safe place, but have been stuck at home because of restrictions,” she said. “My message to people of all ages who are suffering is that there is help available. The services are there to help so please don’t be afraid to speak up and say, ‘no more’.” • People can call Wimmera Sexual Assault and Family Violence Centre for assistance during business hours on 5381 1211, or 24-hour hotline services, 1800 RESPECT – 1800 737 732, or safe steps Family Violence Response Centre, 1800 015 188. Sexual Assault Crisis Line, 1800 806 292, is available from 5pm to 9am. In case of emergency, call triple zero.

Art is... a ‘drive-in’ music festival BY DYLAN DE JONG

usic-lovers will be able to reunite once again in a Wimmera-first attempt at a drivein concert featuring well-known artists from the region.

Organisers of Art is… festival will be among the first in Australia to attempt a concert where musicians perform live to people watching from the comfort of their cars – a style of festival first trialled in Denmark. Festival and concert organisers around the world believe this style of live performance could be an example of how larger events might look for the foreseeable future, as bans on mass gatherings remain due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wergaia and Wemba Wemba singersongwriter Alice Skye, alongside King brothers – lead guitarist Sam and drummer Kane – are set to headline the June 27 show at Horsham Showground. The brothers will support Skye’s new single and music video ‘Grand Ideas’, a track from her sophomore album ‘I feel Better, But I Don’t Feel Good’, set to be released later in the year. Skye said the concept for the song was tied in closely with the feeling of being overwhelmed or isolated. “It comes from a place of feeling really overwhelmed with the things you have to do and what people expect from you – feeling weighed down by everything,” she said. “I was having a moment and thinking ‘everything I have is out of my control’. I kept saying those words over to myself and started hearing a melody with it.

Hope for change Wergaia and Wemba Wemba singersongwriter Alice Skye has spoken out about protests against police brutality in the United States following the death of American man George Floyd. The young First Nations musician hopes Australia’s peaceful demonstrations for a ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement in solidarity with American protests will help raise awareness and action positive change for indigenous affairs. Thousands of people ignored COVID-19 restrictions on mass gatherings in state capitals Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane at the weekend to attend the rallies. Protestors were flying banners displaying statements including ‘No Justice, No Peace’ and ‘I can’t breathe’ in response to Mr Floyd’s death. He died while being restrained by a police officer in Minneapolis. Skye said Mr Floyd’s death echoed a long-standing issue in Australia, deaths of indigenous Australians in custody. “It’s hard, these aren’t the first rallies. I’ve been to protests about young indigenous deaths in custody and there have been many before me – it’s not a new fight,” she said. “To have all this momentum about it and people having discussions here

at home because of the US, I hope that continues. It’s good it’s getting the attention it needs, I hope action comes from it too.” Skye said she hoped the protests would create long-lasting awareness about injustices indigenous Australians had faced. “There are people in my life whose families and friends have lost loved

ones and been directly affected through these kinds of incidents,” she said. “It’s hard to watch people around you experience those things and not be heard. “I hope we keep this momentum and we can implement changes, so these family and friends get justice and closure to what happened.”

“I feel fortunate to be able to use that as a tool and this song definitely helped aid that process.” The Horsham drive-in concert will be the first time Skye has performed

to a live audience since a ban on large indoor and outdoor gatherings earlier this year. “We hoped to release the album and do a tour off the back of it,” Skye said.

She said she was excited to get back to the Wimmera, where she grew up and started her musical journey. “I want to be on my Wergaia country – it’s a strange thing when you

Wergaia and Wemba Wemba singer-songwriter Alice Skye

grow up disconnected from that part of yourself, then discovering how important it is, but also needing to be in the city for what I do,” she said. “I feel really glad I grew up in the country and have that place to return to. It’s such beautiful country. “Our farm property in the Grampians is quite a special place to me, and sometimes comes up when I’m writing.” Before lockdowns, the band was gaining international recognition with several shows planned in the United States. Skye was invited to play as an official showcase artist for South by Southwest in Texas in March before its cancellation. “I’m excited for when that opportunity comes up again,” she said. “It seems crazy that we’re now going overseas. “But I feel very fortunate that I still have opportunities to work and get paid to work – I have a good support network within the industry.” Art is… festival director Sarah Natali said the performance would give Wimmera music-lovers a chance to come together in an isolated way. “It will give people a chance for the first time to get out and about again,” she said “We can’t do live music in the pub. You can reach more people like this, because you’re still isolating but together. “It’s very important in terms of connection and mental health – isolation can be quite hard on people and lots of people have missed live music.”

United ‘green’ voice BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera leaders stress a collaborative approach will be imperative for reaching 2050 targets to become a carbon-neutral region.

Following 12 months of planning, Grampians New Energy Taskforce, GNET, has released detailed plans to drastically reduce greenhouse gases in the region. The document entitled Grampians Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions paves a way forward for all energy users to reduce the collective carbon footprint. The road map takes a collaborative approach to link five key areas or ‘domains of action’ – energy, buildings, industry, transport and land – subdivided into agriculture and waste. Highlighting ‘realistic, achievable’ actions, the document looks at how government, industry and community can work more closely to create economic opportunities that also greatly reduce carbon emissions. GNET chief executive Stuart Benjamin said an all-in approach would be the only way the Grampians region could achieve its carbon-neutral goals. “We all need to work together. The ultimate goal is if we can work collaboratively and hold hands to maximise efforts, not only can we achieve 100percent reductions, we could achieve it by 2044,” he said. “What we also do is transform our entire economy to take advantage of those economic opportunities. “Data shows us if we just do business as usual, we’re only going to achieve a quarter of reductions in our Co2 by 2050.”

“Farming generates the most Co2 of any industrial sector – yet farming turns out to be the hero because of its ability to take in carbon and turn it into an economic resource” – Stuart Benjamin

Mr Benjamin said the agriculture sector was the Wimmera and southern Mallee’s greatest asset in offsetting carbon. He said farmers could use carbon as a ‘tradable commodity’ to help offset other sectors such as transport that relied on fossil fuels. “Farming generates the most Co2 of any industrial sector – yet farming turns out to be the hero because of its ability to take in carbon and turn it into an economic resource,” he said. “By putting a value on it, we recognise it as a tradable commodity. “Farming effectively by its very nature takes carbon out of the air and puts it back into a crop or into the ground. “Not only do we make more money and jobs in the region, but it’s much more sustainable for land use and we’ve reduced our emissions across the entire agriculture sector.” Mr Benjamin said a priority area highlighted in the document was unlocking grid infrastructure to open the market to more investors. “Unless we fix transmission, we can’t reach these targets,” he said. “We’re already producing more renewable energy than we use – there’s lots of other ways we can use renewable energy within the borders of our region.

“We can have micro grids and distribute power to new businesses in the region – a lot of energy intensive businesses are always looking for security of their power supply, but also at the cost of power. “We are about to enter a time where we will see private investors constructing their own transmission assets.” Wimmera Development Association chief executive Chris Sounness said the document would help the region make more calculated decisions that benefitted the environment and the economy. “This document digs down and articulates what priorities need to be undertaken,” he said. “We need to work together as a region. Some things need to be tackled by region and some things are best tackled by individuals – it’s about being complementary to one-another. “With the cheap throwaway line ‘we want to be carbon neutral by 2050’ – that’s easy to say. But then you become overwhelmed with trying to figure what to do to make it happen.” Mr Benjamin said the document would give the region a greater voice to champion ideas to state or federal governments. “Whenever a region has a united voice and clear priorities it makes it far easier for governments to support that,” he said. “This actually breaks it down into steps that are achievable. It shows how getting to zero is very achievable for our region. “If we work together, there’s a lot of components in our control that we can make a difference with.”

RESUMING SOON: Wimmera Association for Genealogy secretary Karen Lyons and president Tony Ward are pictured looking through records at the association’s Pynsent Street Mechanics Institute base in Horsham. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

History researchers waiting Wimmera Association for Genealogy hopes people interested in learning more about their family history will be able to visit Horsham’s Mechanics Institute in the near future. Association president Tony Ward said the organisation, which operated out of the institute in Pynsent Street, was keen to reopen its doors in line with easing of COVID-19 restrictions. He said group leaders had spoken about the prospect of resuming public services under new guidelines and were awaiting the go-ahead from Horsham Rural City Council.

The association traditionally hosts public meetings on the third Monday of each month. Mr Ward encouraged people with an interest in tracing their family tree to ‘keep an ear out’ for when they could visit the institute and start their research. He also encouraged people seeking more information about future meetings and other information to contact Ian Rees on email wimmeragenealogy@gmail.com. “It’s amazing what you can find out when you start looking,” Mr Ward said.

Demand for clearer cycling paths I

BY DYLAN DE JONG

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

ncreased bicycle and pedestrian traffic throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a Wimmera cyclist to call for a greater focus on improving safety for all road users.

Horsham Cyclery business owner Damien Cook is calling on state and local governments to better link-up bike tracks and make clearer bike paths on roads in Horsham. This comes after Mr Cook’s bike shop experienced a sharp rise in demand for bicycles. He said his customers had also reported a dramatic increase in the number of people cycling or walking in the past couple of months. “Bicycle demand is very high. We can’t match that supply with demand at the minute. It’s a real struggle,” he said. “But it’s good to see people out there and having a go – we’ve got people telling us while on their daily rides they would be lucky to see two or three people, but are now seeing about 30 people,” he said. Mr Cook said he believed the council and State Government could springboard off the community’s ‘refocus on health’ in the rural city and make riding safer for everyone. “Things could be a lot safer,” he said. “I know everything’s an expense, but I think we need to take a step back and look at all the views, opinions and ideas and see what’s going to work and be feasible for everyone.” Mr Cook said the city needed clearer markings on the roads to better separate motorists and cyclists. “Cyclists need to know where they can ride and where they can be,” he said. “We have motorists come in saying they’ve clashed with cyclists and cyclists come in saying they’ve clashed with motorists – there’s no clear area where the riders can be.” Horsham Rural City Council’s Draft Budget 2020-21 reveals proposed allocations of $429,000 to improve footpaths and cycle-ways as part of its capital works program. Works include sealing bike paths, footpath rehabilitation, ‘disability strategy’ upgrade projects and works to extend

ON THE ROAD: Horsham Cyclery business owner Damien Cook believes Horsham needs clearer paths for cyclists to improve safety for all road users. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER bike tracks from a bike plan. The council forecasts these projects will be completed between October 2020 and April 2021. Mayor Mark Radford said the council acknowledged that safety for pedestrians and cyclists needed improvement. “There’s room for improvement in our main roads around town,” he said. “To improve safety on the roads you need to have a good wide shoulder. “We need good separation for cyclists – you’re only going to jump on your bike if you know you can ride to work safely. “That’s what we want to do in the long term, to make it safer so people can make that conscious decision that if you live in Horsham you can ride to work.”

Advisory group

Cr Radford said the council would continue to improve safety on roads under direction from community-based group Bicycle Advisory Committee. “The council has a progressive role at improving footpaths and cycling paths,” he said. “The Bicycle Advisory Committee lobbies for ways to make it safer to ride to work, such as places to park a bike at the

end of a ride and safety at intersections, which would include cycling routes. “The council is keen to improve safety for cyclists.” The council has started works to light up paths along the Wimmera River between Menadue Street and Anzac Centenary Bridge, including the Wotonga Basin. Wimmera Health Care Group community health co-ordinator Janine Harfield said ‘safer streets’ was one of many elements to encourage people to get active. “If we have an environment that’s conducive to getting out and about, we need lots of green spaces, additional footpaths, lighting and we need to feel safe as well,” she said. She said as COVID-19 was forcing people to change their lifestyles, now was an ideal time to recalibrate to form healthier habits. “It’s an opportunity to rethink and recalibrate our lives and to think about what is important to us and bring it back to the basics,” she said. “I feel like that’s a lesson we could take from COVID-19. I really do hope people form habits from the past few months to keep being that little bit more active.”

Wimmera Health Care Group waiting area expands Social-distancing laws and the onset of winter has forced Wimmera Health Care Group to find a bigger waiting area for emergency department patients in Horsham. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients waiting for treatment in the emergency department have

been spaced well apart to meet social-distancing laws. This more than halved the capacity of the waiting area. Emergency department nurse unit manager Odette Richards said the waiting area had on occasions overflowed and patients had spilled outdoors, causing distress.

She said she had been concerned about the lack of space, particularly as the Wimmera moved into winter. “We are now using a section of the foyer in the main entrance to ensure people are more comfortable,” she said. “The new waiting area is helping to keep patients with

respiratory problems separated from others. “The original waiting room is now dedicated to patients with respiratory problems. “Everyone else is in the main foyer and the chairs are spread out to maintain social-distancing laws.”

It’s been a challenge

“Remote learning has definitely been a challenge. I had to spend more of my week with my siblings, but we actually ended up getting a bit closer. “I found the first few weeks the hardest because I couldn’t speak to my friends or any other family members. “Once we reached week four, my teacher started to have group WebEx’s with us every morning. This meant we could see our classmates, go through our work together and ask our teacher any questions we had. Although it was nice to see all our classmates via video, I still missed seeing them face to face. “I am now incredibly excited to see my friends again. It was nice doing work at home, but I missed my friends and after a few weeks I got really bored. I am bursting to get out of the house and to finally attend school again.” Addison Walter, school captain Horsham Primary School 298 campus

Ups and downs

“Remote learning has had its ups and downs. Some positives of remote learning were that I could stay in my pyjamas all day. I also didn’t have to wake up early to go to school and you had flexibility to get your work done. “You could eat whatever and whenever you liked and go to the toilet whenever you needed. “Another positive is that I was still able to keep in touch with my teachers. “The downside of remote learning was not being able to get help from my teachers and peers. “I also missed my friends and teachers a lot.” Xander Groves St Patrick’s Primary School, Stawell

The plus side

“Remote learning has been a different experience, both positive and challenging. “One of the more difficult aspects of this has been misunderstanding the work, but on the plus side I have been able to email my teachers and ask them for help, they were very quick and helpful with their replies. “I also missed seeing my friends and teachers and talking to them face to face, but the class got together and had video chats and played games with each other online which was fun. “I like that I got to do work at my own pace. I’m lucky that I was able to bring my device home from school and I’m also very grateful we have good wi-fi. “I also believe that my computer skills have improved since the start of learning from home. “I found it hard to stick to a schedule and stay motivated during some tasks, however, this is something I have become better at. I really enjoy the PE tasks we got to do because it’s really fun to just get outside, enjoy yourself and be active. “In conclusion, remote learning was interesting but I am really looking forward to going back to school and seeing everyone.” Elsa Byron, school captain Warracknabeal Primary School

Nervous start

“When I was told that I was going to do online schooling, I was quite nervous about how it would go. “All of my life I did schoolwork at school and this was going to be very new and different to not just me, but family members and friends too. “When I started my work, I realised that it wasn’t going to be as different as I thought it would be. It was great, and the more I did, the more enthusiastic I became. After a few weeks of remote schooling, I was used to the new normal. “When I wasn’t doing schoolwork I was engaging in home activities as well. “Overall, throughout this process I learned that even though I wasn’t at school, I could learn just as well as I could when I was at school.” Olivia Reviera St Patrick’s Primary School, Stawell

A fun, new experience

“I have enjoyed online learning at home. The teachers did an amazing job getting all of our work ready. It was really fun and a very new experience. “At first I was a bit confused with how to do some things, but I eventually got the hang of it. “The work we were given was cool and I think it was a bit different from what we would do at school and I really liked that. “There’s this thing called Google Meet – that’s when you had a video chat with your class. Our teachers would organise a call and we would all get to see each other. It was so exciting because we hadn’t seen each other in so long. “I loved the creative art tasks that we did and we played this fun game called Languagenut for Japanese. For the two last Wednesdays of home school we had ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’. It was a really relaxed day and very fun too. “I’ve really missed being with my friends and I’m looking forward to seeing them all again.” Lauren Clyne Warracknabeal Primary School

Working together

“During our time completing online schooling, we have had a big challenge with communication, learning and keeping focus, but we’ve worked together and got through it. “We all have had a fantastic experience and lots of fun. But now it’s time to come out of isolation and go back to school. “In our opinion we have really enjoyed Google Meet, which is an app similar to Zoom. It is basically like having a conference meeting like our parents. It has also made it easier to talk to our teachers, classmates and friends. “While we were doing our online learning we got to snuggle up in our warm clothes and blankets, which probably was the best part. “But there’s a bit of a bad side to all of this, we’ve missed our friends, sports and going to actual school. “It’s been tough. We all missed our teachers, school sports and whole school activities so much but we couldn’t wait to go back to school. “There’s some things we’re not going to miss like worksheets and videos. We can’t wait for PE, art and drama lessons in actual classes with an actual teacher and our actual friends.” Chloe Reinheimer and Aliyah Backer Haven Primary School

Network studies student engagement BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera educational leaders assessing the effects of COVID-19 are confident students will bounce back from remote learning.

All Victorian state school students are back in class this week in the final stage of a staggered reopening to minimise the risk of transmission of the virus. Wimmera Southern Mallee Local Learning and Employment Network executive officer Tim Shaw said schools had reported positive feedback from parents and students throughout the remote-learning process, despite the major changes to curriculum. But he said the network had concerns for some students, particularly the disadvantaged or children studying their Victorian Certificate of Education, VCE, in their final year of schooling. Mr Shaw said the organisation would continue to monitor feedback from schools and help provide the best possible outcomes for students. He said many Wimmera schools, such as Horsham College, were taking a ‘targeted’ approach to ensure all students were keeping up with study as face-to-face learning resumed. He said the college identified students who appeared to have fallen behind in their studies, while sourcing feedback from teachers, to see whether there were patterns of behaviour. Horsham College year-11 students Cody Frizon and Isabelle Overman are among students who have returned to normal classroom routines. The VCE students said they were confident they were making a positive

DETERMINED: Horsham College year-11 students Isabelle Overman and Cody Frizon are confident in their ability to succeed following historic changes to the world of learning this year. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER rebound from the upended curriculum in term two, adding that their teachers were ‘highly’ supportive throughout the pandemic. Both students said they believed remote learning had driven them to become self-sufficient learners. Cody said although motivation proved difficult while studying from home, remote learning helped shape his ability to manage tasks more independently. “The main challenges were learning new content we hadn’t learnt in class previously,” he said. “It was hard to get used to staying on task and doing the work alone. But I

stayed motivated, I didn’t want to fall behind – I had to be self-disciplined.” Cody said he felt more prepared for year 12, where he believed self-determination was key for success. “What affected me most was knowing I could take control of it myself – it’s prepared us a fair bit,” he said. “Year 12 requires more study and revision at home. It’s something you have to take into your own hands.” Isabelle said she stayed motivated to keep on track during the remote-learning experience. “I was driven to get it done. I wanted to have time to myself, so I would get it all done to enjoy the rest of the day,”

she said. Like Cody, Isabelle said she felt she could take command of her learning outcomes. “I feel like I’m more independent – I feel like I’m now more motivated at home,” she said. “Now that we’re back in school, I think it will be fine – but we don’t know what’s going to happen, we could be back at home if things don’t go well.”

Beyond pandemic

Mr Shaw said although there was positive feedback from schools, Wimmera Southern Mallee Local Learning and Employment Network, LLEN, would continue to monitor student en-

gagement to ensure positive learning outcomes beyond the pandemic. “There are some concerns that there could be a level of complete disengagement from young people who might have been struggling with their education before COVID-19 – that will be a challenge for schools,” he said. “The feedback we’re getting from schools is a lot of students are doing really well, working hard and impressing teachers with their work ethic and attitude regarding their studies. “But on the other side of that, it has amplified some of the disadvantages some young people are facing, possibly due to lack of support, in some cases in the home.” Mr Shaw said the LLEN was particularly concerned for students studying their VCE or students who were disadvantaged. “I’m sure there’s significant challenges for VCE students in year 12 having to prepare for final exams at the end of the year,” he said. “It’s not the same for every young person, some will rise above it and continue to do well, for others it’s been a real challenge to do the work and get the support to get the score they want. “But I think universities will be very aware of the challenges these students have undertaken.” Mr Shaw said the network would continue to provide opportunities for young people through its Vocational Education and Training, VET, work placements, literacy, mentoring and range of educational and support programs.

Highway lobbyists: We’re not beaten

group lobbying to change the route of Western Highway dual-carriageway development south-east of Ararat has vowed to fight on despite a Supreme Court ruling.

Keep Original Route Supporters, KORS, chair Neil Marriot said the group was ‘bruised but not beaten’ after the court ruled the project ‘valid’. Plaintiffs, including KORS, had argued planning decisions to approve the 12.5-kilometre section of the highway between Buangor and Ararat was invalid. Legal wrangling over the is-

sue has occurred for several years. The impact the planned route will have on environmental and heritage sites is at the centre of the dispute. Lobbyists have long argued construction should involve an alternative route that would be ‘more environmentally acceptable, quicker, safer and millions of dollars cheaper’. But the Supreme Court dismissed the case. Mr Marriot said Ararat district people working to improve a ‘mistaken route’ had been surprised by the ruling. “We are disappointed that Victoria’s planning law does not better protect our land. The lack of independence in

the EES process allows for VicRoads to appoint their preferred consultants to prepare the EES,” he said. “In our case, the flawed and deficient EES was used to inform the route selection, by a panel that included VicRoads engineers and did not include an environmentalist. “But we believe federal legal matters are still to be resolved before works extend from the current work site near Mt Langi Ghiran. We are encouraged by the positive finding in the recent Federal Court hearing to restrict logging that threatens our endangered Leadbeater’s possum.

“Victorians are entitled to believe the possum was being protected by the Environmental and Biodiversity Protection, EPBC, Act. The same Act also applies to the highway project.” Mr Marriot said KORS members were involved because they prioritised ‘habitat over highway’. “We are very clear that minimising impact has not been done here, not by a long shot,” he said. “This story should be a concern for all Victorians who are paying over the odds for the planning and the construction of this road. We are continuing our efforts to present a con-

Service grateful for donation East Grampians Health Service has new personal protective equipment available for use during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of a donation. Erebus Medical provided the health service with 86 face shields, 20 ear savers – for use with face masks – and an intubation box, to protect staff working with COVID-19 patients. Erebus Medical was established just after the COVID-19 outbreak with support from parent company Erebus Motorsport, a Melbourne-based Australian Supercar team owned by Betty Klimenko and sponsored by Penrite Oil. With the Supercars season on hold, Erebus Motorsport joined the global fight against COVID-19, using the resources of its Supercar team workshop to develop and produce potentially life-saving medical supplies.

structive solution to our government.” Djab Wurrung Heritage Protection Embassy protesters have been set up at a section of the disputed route site since 2018. Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley is considering a separate Federal Court ruling from December last year that called for a fresh decision on a 2018 application to protect the site. State Government agency Major Roads Projects Victoria is managing the $672-million project. The Federal Government committed $360-million in April last year for a final Ararat-to-Stawell section.

Liaising with Supercars medical delegate Dr Carl Le, it refined medical products and helped fill the demand for PPE. East Grampians Health Service received the equipment through a staff contact with Erebus Motorsport. Health service chief executive Andrew Freeman thanked the Erebus Medical team. “We are very grateful for their donation of personal protective equipment, which we will use in the event of having to treat patients at the health service with COVID-19,” he said. “It is important our staff are protected when treating COVID-19 patients and this equipment will ensure that all our staff are kept safe. “We are also grateful for Erebus Medical’s recognition and sup- SUPPLIES: East Grampians Health Service acute services manager Nicole Carlyle and Dr Dan Wilson test medical equipment donated by Erebus Medical. port of a rural health service.”

Work will start on two bridges along Landsborough Road at Joel Joel in the coming months. The Wimmera River Bridge will be subject to guardrail, painting and strengthening works, while a small bridge 500 metres east of Joel Joel Road intersection also requires an upgrade. Northern Grampians Shire mayor Murray Emerson asked residents to plan ahead and be aware of changed road conditions. “These works are necessary to ensure the longevity, safety, and standard of our roads,” he said. “I urge everyone to be patient and careful around the road works and allow for extra travel time or seek an alternative route if possible.” The total project cost is $624,000 with $416,000 in funding from the State Government’s Fixing Country Roads program. The bridge upgrade works form part of the council’s 201920 capital works program.

Health service plans for spike

rise in demand for support services has prompted a Wimmera health provider to shore-up its ability to help its community as the state continues to persist through COVID-19 lockdowns.

Grampians Community Health has diversified its services, including mental health, drug, alcohol and gambling support, to be available remotely. Chief executive Greg Little said he anticipated health providers across the region would need to be ready for a possible ‘future spike’ in demand. He said the service had been fortifying its ability to respond to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 since January. “We have successfully lobbied for more agencies, not just Grampians Community Health, to receive funding in anticipation of a reporting spike in the future,” he said. “Demand for mental-health services, as well as drug, alcohol and gambling support, have peaked since the lockdown started, and I believe self-isolation is obscuring family violence statistics. “Staff providing support remotely through the pandemic ensured the service could continue to support the Wimmera community, even while some branches were briefly closed in Horsham and Ararat.” Mr Little said the health service took a proactive approach during the pandemic, introducing a new home isolation support service in the Northern Grampians municipality. “The service provides a social support network to community members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, whether it is

due to health concerns, home schooling a child, or anxiety,” he said. “It also is a COVID-19 preventative service, giving people and organisations the skills and knowledge to avoid spreading coronavirus as it’s not going away in a hurry. “The program provides vital social contact and the ability to refer people to the proper channels.” Mr Little said the health service had modified its drug and drink driver program, giving people remote access to support. “Previously, it was a mandatory face-toface modified behaviour program,” he said. “We have now introduced an online learning course, which is endorsed by VicRoads until at least the end of June.” Mr Little said it was paramount for the health service to continue operations during the pandemic. “Grampians Community Health only exists to serve the community – we are a notfor-profit organisation that wants to make a difference,” he said. “We wouldn’t consider closing our doors because there are a lot of people in our community who need our support. “Grampians Community Health provides services to the Wimmera, as well as the Southern Mallee and Central Highlands regions – we cover an extensive area. “Through our work in the community, we have provided detailed reports to the Victorian government on the impacts of the pandemic at a local level.” Mr Little said people could access Grampians Community Health and its services by calling 5358 7400.

STUDENT LEADERS: Stawell Secondary College students work on the Grampians Rail Trail, pouring a ‘concrete diaphragm’ to engage steel beams to the bridge footings.

Many hands finish rail trail Grampians Rail Trail leaders are celebrating completing the 11-kilometre asset after finalising track surfacing and flood-mitigation works. The works were funded through the 2019 Bulgana Green Power Hub Community Grants Program. Friends of Grampians Rail Trail project manager John Pye said the Lake Lonsdale end of the trail was subject to flooding during heavy and sustained rain events, where it passed through a wetland. He said pipes and a floodway would divert floodwater, while the resurfacing of this section of the track had repaired past water damage. “This is the last piece in the jigsaw that provides bicycle and walking access along the whole 11-kilometre track,” Mr Pye said. The Grampians Rail Trail follows the historic Heatherlie Rail Line that was used from 1882 to 1949 to transport sandstone from

Heatherlie Quarry in the Grampians to Stawell, for historic buildings such as the court house, and on to Melbourne for public buildings such as Parliament House and the State Library. Powercor granted $38,000 to Stawell Secondary College to start the project, with year-nine students constructing most of the trail. Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning, VCAL, and other students also assisted. From 2002 to 2012, more than 350 students were involved in the project, led by Mr Pye, who taught at the college. “Students organised permits, employed and supervised contractors, and built four bridges – including a 16-metre single span steel bridge and an 80-metre boardwalk bridge across a swamp,” Mr Pye said. “Students worked in small groups, ran the program, made decisions on how and where money was spent and did the on-

ground work. It became the focus of research projects and among many accolades won a Worksafe Award. “From $78,000 in grants, the students have constructed a trail valued in excess of $500,000.” Mr Pye said after he retired from the college in 2012, progress on the trail was ‘held up by how the trail would be managed and by whom’. “Management and licensing remained a ‘road-block’ for many years until a community group, Friends of Grampians Rail Trail, took on the task,” he said. “This will be the only rail trail in Victoria to be entirely managed, maintained, licensed and developed by a community group – we are unique.” Mr Pye said people could access trail maps online at www. railtrails.org.au, by following links to Grampians Rail Trail.

Pure electric

orsche Cars Australia has announced pricing and specification for its first-ever seriesproduction electric vehicle, the Taycan performance sedan, which will arrive in showrooms in December priced from $191,000 plus on-road costs for the entry-level 4S variant.

The mid-spec Turbo commands an almost $80,000 premium at $269,100, while the flagship Turbo S will start at $339,100, making for a $148,100 price difference between the entry and top model lines. The pricing ensures all three variants are now the three most expensive pure-electric vehicles on sale in Australia, trumping Tesla’s Model X Performance, which asks $175,269 plus on-roads. Buyers will instead be compensat-

ed with equipment and performance credentials never seen before on an EV, with the Taycan’s zero-emissions powertrain forming the basis of its impressive athletic abilities. Even at the bottom rung, the allwheel-drive 4S – which has a permanently excited synchronous electric motor on the rear axle and another on the front axle – offers an impressive 390kW of power and 640Nm of torque, allowing for a sprint from standstill to 100kmh in 4.0 seconds on the way to a top speed of 250kmh. Equipped with a 79.2kWh singledeck battery, the 4S has a claimed driving range of 365km, which can be expanded to 414km with a twin-deck performance battery option that boosts battery size to 93.4kWh while also increasing output to 420kW-650Nm. Porsche Cars Australia is yet to confirm the price of this option.

The Turbo uses the bigger battery option with power increased to 500kW-850Nm, which enables a 0-100kmh sprint in 3.2 seconds when using launch control, while range is pegged at 420km. Finally, the flagship Turbo S produces a heavy 560kW-1050Nm, allowing a 2.8 second 0-100kmh time and driving range of 405km. From the outside, the 4S is distinguishable by its 20-inch Taycan Sport aero wheels, LED headlights with dynamic indicators and black paint on the lower valance, wing mirrors, rear diffuser and side skirts. Inside, the 4S is fitted with two-zone climate control, 14-way comfort seats with front seat heating and ventilation, a heated steering wheel, 16.8-inch curved display with Apple CarPlay and DAB+ digital radio, 14-speaker Bose audio system, partial leather

upholstery, black accent package and fabric roof lining. The Turbo adds Taycan Turbo aero wheels, body-coloured lower valance, side skirt inlays, rear diffuser and wing mirrors, LED matrix headlights, four-zone climate control, rear seat heating, PDCC Sport, full leather upholstery, Race-Tex roof liner, stainless-steel pedal pad edge and ambient lighting. Stepping up to the Turbo S brings 21-inch wheels, carbon exterior inlays, carbon matte door sill guards, black model designation badging, electric charging cover, 18-way adaptive front sports seats, two-tone leather interior, matte carbon trim with dark silver accents and a heated GT sports steering wheel. A full suite of active safety features will be standard across the range, which includes adaptive cruise con-

trol, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane-change assist and park assist with surround-view monitors. Given its 800V on-board electrical system – the first of its kind in Australia compared with the usual 400V system – the Taycan features a charging capacity of 270kW, while charging at 400V charging points will allow 150kW of DC charge. Porsche Cars Australia has partnered with EV charging infrastructure specialist Chargefox to use its ultra-rapid 350kW DC charging network, while destination charging and home charging with infrastructure installation also available. The Taycan range is now available to order ahead of deliveries in December. – Robbie Wallis

Mitsubishi Express van on way

itsubishi Motors Australia Limited has announced its reborn Express mid-size delivery van will start from $38,490 plus on-road costs for the GLX shortwheelbase manual.

Officially on sale from July 6, the Express is essentially a rebadged Renault Trafic and at the entry level is powered by a 103kW-340Nm 1.6-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine paired to a six-speed manual gearbox. A bigger 125kW-380Nm 2.0-litre single-turbo diesel unit is also available, matched exclusively with a sixspeed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The automatic on the GLX SWB adds $4000 compared with the smaller-engined manual, starting at $42,490 plus on-roads, while the long-wheelbase variants follow a similar pricing regime with the GLX LWB manual starting at $40,490 and the auto set at $44,490. All Express variants undercut their Trafic counterparts by $1000 although the French brand offers three extra variants which bookmark its range,

EXPRESS DELIVERY: Mitsubishi’s new Express van will arrive in Australian showrooms on July 6. those being the $36,490 Pro SWB, $38,490 Pro LWB and $52,490 Crew Lifestyle LWB. Both Trafic Pro variants use a singleturbo version of the 1.6-litre engine, resulting in a lower 85kW-300Nm

output. Standard equipment on all Express variants includes remote central locking, Bluetooth and USBcompatible audio unit, air-conditioning, cruise control, three-seat bench, manual height and lumbar adjustment

for the driver’s position, fully adjustable steering column and rubber floor coverings in the cabin. Left and right hand side sliding doors are also included, along with rear twin glazed barn doors that have 90-degree

and 180-degree stops. Standard safety features include extended grip traction control, electronic stability control, rollover mitigation, ABS brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, hill-start assist, rear park assist, driver blind-spot mirror in the passenger sunvisor and five airbags. Automatic variants also score a reversing camera, dusk-sensing headlights and rain-sensing windscreen wipers. Cargo space for the SWB is rated at 5.2 cubic metres, rising to 6.0 cubic metres for the LWB. Payload ranges from 1115kg to 1200kg depending on the variant, while maximum braked towing capacity is similarly variable, limited to 1630kg on the 2.0 LWB auto but pushing up to 2000kg on the 1.6 manual variants. The 2.0 SWB slots in between at 1715kg. The Express re-enters a segment dominated by the Toyota HiAce, which had recorded 1633 sales to the end of April for a 35.7 percent market share. – Callum Hunter

Audi’s fresh sportscar checks in

udi Australia has revealed its updated hard-charging TT RS flagship sportscar will arrive in showrooms next month, priced from $134,900 plus on-road costs.

Missing in action for more than a year, mainly due to homologation issues overseas, the new TT RS charges in with its familiar fire-breathing 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine – a powerplant also destined for the imminent RS3 hyper-hatch – that continues to produce 294kW of power and 480Nm of torque. As with all hot Audis, the engine’s considerable output is put to the road in collaboration with the brand’s quattro permanent all-wheel-drive system, in this case via a seven-speed dualclutch automatic transmission. As a result, the 0-100kmh dash is dispatched in just 3.7 seconds, more than half a second faster than the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4. Despite the ballistic performance,

Audi claims the TT RS will sip a modest 8.0 litres of fuel per 100km on the combined cycle – not bad for a highly strung, low-capacity engine. The vehicle rides 10mm lower than the standard TT on ‘RS sport suspension plus’ and now features magnetic damping as standard. As we saw when the update was revealed in February 2019, the facelifted TT RS distinguishes itself from the previous model and its regular counterparts with larger front air intakes finished in black mesh, flared wheelarches, a fixed rear spoiler, ‘quattro’ lettering along its chin and Matrix LED headlights. Audi Australia product planning and pricing director Shaun Ticehurst enthused that the TT RS’s ‘combination of power and soundtrack provides a rare thrill for enthusiasts’ and exudes Audi’s rich brand heritage. “The iconic Audi 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo is one of the most celebrated engines in motoring,” he said.

“Now with even more high-value features as standard, the Audi TT RS has never been more attractive.” Audi says the new TT RS comes with more than $6500 of additional high-value features compared with its predecessor, with standard equipment on the new model running to the 12.3inch Audi virtual cockpit with bigger RS tachometer, coloured shift lights, g-force meter and lap timer. Connectivity features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, MMI navigation plus system with voice control and a 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound system. Standard safety features include six airbags, active lane assist, side assist, parking sensors, a reversing camera and tyre pressure monitoring system. For the record, the previous TT RS was priced from $137,240 plus onroads. The most natural rival for the TT RS will be the aforementioned Por-

UPDATED: Audi’s new TT RS sportscar is priced at $134,900. sche 718 Cayman GT4 – priced from $207,000 – even though the secondtier GTS 4.0 is more comparable on price.

So far this year ending April, Audi has shifted just 13 TTs compared with the Porsche 718 Cayman’s 56 sales. – Callum Hunter

Answers: 1. Brussels. C. Belgium’s population based on United Nations data is 11.58-million. 2. Brushtail possums. Early Europeans took Australian possums to New Zealand to establish a fur trade in the mid-1800s and the marsupials are now an ongoing threat to the country’s native plants and animals. 3. Brat Pack. They were often cast together in teen-orientated films such as The Breakfast Club and St Elmo’s Fire. The name was a play on the Rat Pack from the 1950s and ’60s that featured the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. 4. The Turkish City of Istanbul. The site, a human settlement for at least 3000 years, was also previously Byzantium and Constantinople. 5. Equinox. It happens twice a year, in March and September, signalling the start of seasonal change. The next equinox will be on Tuesday, September 22. 6. Soldiers killed during the American Civil War. 7. Bridgetown. The city’s Kensington Oval is an international cricket test-match venue. 8. True. They have evolved to a point where their eyes are now simply vestigial lenses under the skin, which lack pupils. 9. Zebra. Other close relatives, ‘odd-toed ungulates’, are tapirs and horses. A group of rhinos is called a crash. The rhinoceros is the second largest land mammal on the planet. 10. Stawell, or more precisely, Pleasant Creek.

Christian Devotions

What it means to be full of Faith not Fear

What you should be realising is that your faith is now bold/confident and it is enabling you to overcome life’s challenges because your strength is no longer from your own reserves, but instead it is now from God the giver of life. You are using His strength not your own. Pastor Joel Osteen tells the story that when he first went into ministry, he had to grip the pulpit with both hands so that people wouldn’t see his hands shaking, but God revealed to him to not be afraid. He was his strength and in recognizing this and soaking in that he could step out in faith and confidence even when he was afraid. The same is true for us. When we are surrounded by fear we can choose faith over fear, take ownership of faith over fear and put our trust in God’s plan over our life. When we can automatically apply this the promise is that we will walk boldly to our destiny. It is OK to say that we don’t know how a situation is going to work out. Even when you feel afraid why? Because you have the spirit of God living in you and He is greater than any challenge you will ever face. If this is so as I believe it to be, then the big question surely must be, are you ready to live in abundant faith or are you content to live in the stress an uncertainty of fear? God want to encourage you and lead you into His plan and purpose for your life. I believe He will equip you to say goodbye to fear once and for all. Pastor Terry Dunn - City Heart Church of Christ, Stawell

call for Game changer for Rupanyup Last sport grants

BY DYLAN DE JONG

upanyup Football Netball Club will explore a world of new opportunities as LED lighting becomes a permanent fixture at the football ground.

Club leaders believe the completion of a $100,000 state-of-the-art lighting project at Rupanyup Recreation Reserve will be a ‘game changer’ for sport in the Wimmera town. The Panthers trained under the bright lights for the first time last week – albeit with strict physical distancing. Senior playing coach Jack Musgrove said the lighting would shore-up sporting opportunities for the rural town. “We’re pretty excited. The footy club is a pretty big part of Rupanyup, so it’s a big deal,” he said. “Training wise, this will be a massive improvement – it’s going to be really good for the juniors especially. “Kids will want to come down and train because it will be under the lights – when it’s cold and you can’t see it makes it a bit tough.” Musgrove said leaders in Rupanyup spent more than 10 years lobbying the State Government to fund the lighting project. “It’s been a lot of work in the making from a lot of people on the board, who put in a lot of tireless work,” he said. “It’s been a bit tough over the past year because we’ve had to get some portables in to get lighting. “It confined us to one side of the ground, and we had some blokes struggling with eyesight, which makes it a bit of a challenge for them.” Musgrove said he hoped the lighting upgrades would encourage players to stay with the club. “I think new lighting should hopefully encourage blokes to stay or come

OPPORTUNITY: Rupanyup footballers Blake Turner, left, and Jordy Weidemann love being back on the training track. Lighting is now a permanent fixture at the club, opening up more opportunities. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER into the club,” he said. “Most clubs have those facilities, so it will be great to match them and maybe even do a little better.” Musgrove said he hoped the lighting would give players a renewed sense of motivation after spending two months in self-isolation. “Now we can get out there, see a couple of blokes and kick the footy around. It’s been a tough couple of months trying to find that motivation,”

he said. “It will be different not being able to shake hands or high five, but I’m sure we’ll get around it – just to get out for a bit of banter having a kick of the footy will be good for mental health, especially for the juniors.” Musgrove said training would be adjusted in line with AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria training protocols. “There’s going to be a lot of sanitising of the ball, no tackle, no bumping,” he said.

“It will just be focused on skill. It will be difficult to create a training session, but I’m sure we’ll be able to get around it, obey the rules and have the best sessions we can.” Funding was delivered through the Victorian Government’s Country Football and Netball Program. Yarriambiack Shire Council and Member for Lowan Emma Kealy also helped lobby for funding.

Brim-Kellalac-Sheep Hills Cricket Club is among recipients of 528 $1000 grants under a Victorian government program to help sports clubs and leagues through the coronavirus pandemic. Applications for the $40-million Community Sport Sector COVID-19 Survival Package, which has four categories of funding, close on Monday. Community Sport Minister Ros Spence has announced the first wave of support under the program. She said successful clubs had received confirmation letters about the funding, which would make it ‘that little bit easier’ for clubs returning to training across the state. From football, cricket, netball and soccer to cycling, little athletics, bowling and baseball, a multitude of pursuits are represented. Ms Spence said clubs, leagues and associations had been hit hard by the coronavirus shutdown and these grants were a key part of the government’s support for community sport and active recreation. “Local sport makes people happy and healthy and that’s why we are getting behind the state’s 12,000 clubs and associations,” she said. “This is practical support that will help the players and coaches, the volunteers and supporters – all the people who make local sport such a vital part of the community.” More than three-million Victorians are involved in community sport and recreation, with 12,000 clubs and associations operating across the state.

Rainbow enduro: ‘Until next year’ Motoring enthusiasts in the Wimmera and Mallee will look to the return of an iconic national off-road racing championship next year as organisers made the tough call to cancel the 2020 event. The 2020 Rainbow Desert Enduro 560 – the fourth round of Motorsport Australia’s Off Road Racing Championship, AORC, is another victim of COVID-19. Victorian Off Road Racing Association president Tony Carabott said it was ‘unrealistic’ to run a national event in August that attracted thousands of spectators and more than 70 competitors and crews from across the country during a pandemic. “It wasn’t any easy decision to make, but I feel we’ve made the right one for the health and safety of the community up there and all the volunteers and officials involved,” he said.

“Motorsport in general is suffering right now. The sport is nothing without spectators, they make it all happen.” Rainbow Desert Enduro joined the championship series in 2017 and has quickly developed a reputation as one of the most gruelling and tough offroad events on the Australian calendar. Mr Carabott said the southern Mallee town would feel the impact of losing tourism associated with the event. “It’s very beneficial for tourism in Hindmarsh. It’s put Rainbow on the map,” he said. “I think Rainbow will feel the brunt of not having the influx of people come into town.” Mr Carabott said when restrictions eased, teams of volunteers would start preparing the 75km circuit for an improved enduro in 2021. “We’ve just got to come back bigger,

better and stronger in 2021,” he said. “We want to up the ante with the facilities around the Graincorp site and provide better amenities – there’s a few things in the pipeline for improvements.” The Queen’s Birthday long weekend would typically see race crews across the country gear up for the iconic Tatts Finke Desert Race in Alice Springs, which was ultimately cancelled due to COVID-19. Despite the cancellation of Rainbow and Tatts Finke, St George’s season opener in Queensland was postponed until later this year, with dates yet to be confirmed. Motorsport Australia director of motorsport and commercial operations Michael Smith was hopeful a threeround championship could still go ahead for the 2020 championship.

BIGGER AND BETTER: Organisers of the Rainbow Desert Enduro have promised a bigger and better event next year following the cancellation of the 2020 showcase. Focus is now on preparations for Rainbow Rises 240 in March, 2021, as part of the Victorian Off Road Championship. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Communication vital in recovery

Wimmera football and netball thinktank has generated a broad message encouraging sporting clubs to talk about how they can best emerge from the COVID-19 lockdown.

Wimmera and Horsham and District football and netball club leaders attended a virtual forum where they discussed the importance of sustainable community sports clubs to the region. Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly and Wimmera Development Association hosted the forum. Wayne Street, of Street Ryan and Associates, presented costing benchmark figures for football and netball clubs. Mr Street’s presentation included statistics that showed football and netball clubs ranked among the top 40 to 50 percent of businesses in many Wimmera and southern Mallee centres and contributed more than $18-million to the region. Wimmera Development Association spoke with experienced community sports leader Peter Myers to gain his insight on how club boards and committees could navigate out of the COVID-19 shutdown. Mr Myers spent seven years on the Northern Football Netball League board and is Kew Golf Club treasurer. “The focus should be on protecting the club so that it does survive at the end of this – and that

might mean making some fairly difficult decisions in the short term. That’s so when things do return to normality, the club is in a strong position to go forward,” he said. “Gone are the days where you just go day-byday or season-by-season. You have to have a long-term purpose for the club.” Mr Myers encouraged boards and committees to keep the sustainability of the club in mind when making any short-term decisions. “I think it’s important clubs put a lot of effort into strategic planning,” he said. “First we want to get through this virus period, but we also want to make sure we’re continuing in accordance with our long-term plan.” Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said a vibrant sporting community helped make the region a great place to live. “We want to make sure boards and committees have the support they need to have a secure financial future,” he said. Wimmera Development Association has used Mr Myers’ advice to develop a ‘Guide for Committees’ that sporting clubs can use for club ‘health checks’. The association, working in partnership with Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly, will contact football and netball clubs to provide them with the guide and to discuss what additional support community sports clubs might need to ensure viability and sustainability.

FULL THROTTLE: A freezing morning to kick-off training did not stop Horsham brothers Tom and Mick Arthur launching back into motocross action at the weekend. Despite being ‘a bit out of practice’ due to COVID-19 restrictions, the brothers mounted their bikes once again after a lengthy break from the sport. “It’s good to be back after quite a long break not being able to ride,” Tom said. Saturday’s session was the first time Mick had hopped back on the bike in 12 months after breaking his arm at last year’s Bronte Holland Memorial Cup at Horsham. “I’m having another crack,” he said before the practice session. “It’s been a while, but hopefully it goes well.” This was Horsham Motorcycle Club’s second practice run since restrictions have eased.
