Water project a goer H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham has a green light for a new $10-million wastewater recycling project set to shore up agricultural research, industry and socio-economic green-belt assets in the municipality.

The Federal Government has confirmed it will join the State Government in funding a Horsham Agriculture Smartwater and Integrated Water Management Project.

Each tier of government will provide $4.57-million for a redevelopment that will open the door for a major supply boost of high-quality irrigation water.

The project involves building infrastructure and adoption of technology to overcome salinity and turbidity issues in Horsham municipal waste-

water. Primary to the plan is shoring up supply for Agriculture Victoria research activities at Horsham’s agricultural SmartFarm and Grains Innovation Park.

But benefits will extend beyond agricultural research and provide extra incentive in attracting major industrial developers with a need for modern wastewater facilities and scope.

The project also presents opportunities for the realisation of an expansion of and value-adding to promising viticulture opportunities west of Horsham and greater opportunities to maintain or develop community parkland.

It is likely, to some degree, to drought-proof many public parks and gardens and reduce the risk of browning and dying ovals and reserves in periods of severe weather.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster,

in confirming the federal funding, said the project was among 40 waterinfrastructure projects across Australia that would share in $108-million in National Water Grid Connections money.

She said the government was pleased to invest in the Horsham project to ‘improve the resilience and reliability of Horsham’s water infrastructure, deliver innovative secure water for the grains research centre in Horsham and ensure a stronger future for water security across the region’.

“This project will mean the Agriculture Victoria SmartFarm and Grains Innovation Park will have a secure water supply,” she said.

“This guarantees its ability to complete vital research into the future, and maintaining an agricultural centre of excellence in the Wimmera.

“The technologies being proposed will secure and expand vital agricultural research and innovation benefits for the Australian grains industry and its 22,000 grain-farming businesses Australia wide.”

Agriculture Victoria uses Horsham wastewater to irrigate 190 hectares for crop trials on its research farm and improvements to the irrigation system will improve water-use efficiency and land productivity.

Under the planned system, wastewater would flow through a new dissolved air-floatation plant at Horsham wastewater treatment facility to reduce the turbidity before being piped through existing infrastructure to a reverse-osmosis plant at Horsham SmartFarm.

The reverse-osmosis plant would convert a portion of the received

wastewater into high-quality water suitable to spray irrigate field trials at the SmartFarm.

Additional storage would hold the improved-quality water and a storage facility for brine would also be part of the development.

New infrastructure would include automated irrigation systems, a complex network of piping with pumping station and a three-phase power substation.

Deputy Prime Minister and Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Minister Barnaby Joyce said the Federal Government was investing in packages of water-infrastructure projects through the National Water Grid Connections pathway.

Great Victorian Bike Ride potential A

BY DEAN LAWSON

leading tourism advocate has described rescheduling of the Great Victorian Bike Ride through the Wimmera-Mallee later this year as an ‘activation springboard’.

Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman reaffirmed a belief the ride might shape as a catalyst for a return of major community events.

Bicycle Network has been planning for the rescheduled November 27 to December 5 ride after postponing the event last year.

Mr Sleeman agreed events, part of the socio-economic framework of the broader region, had been major casualties of the pandemic.

“There is no doubt the events sector has been one of the hardest hit by the pandemic,” he said.

“We are extremely fortunate to have an event the size and calibre of the Great Vic Bike Ride in our region to help in recovery,” he said.

“These types of events are key drivers of regional visitation and key mechanisms to promote destination profiles and awareness and ultimately growth.

“In simple terms, they provide visitors with a snapshot of what our region offers.

“Data shows that for the 3000 to 4000 participants involved in the ride, 70 percent will want to come back for another visit. That means being the best host possible is essential. So let’s roll out the red carpet.”

The Great Victorian Bike Ride starts at Rainbow Recreation Reserve in the southern Mallee and travels south for overnight stays at Brim, Horsham, Halls Gap, Dunkeld and Pomonal

and finishes at Great Western on the Grampians fringe.

Estimates in 1999, when Bicycle Network announced plans to bring the ride to the Wimmera-Mallee and Grampians, were that cyclists and their support teams would generate $100,000 for each of the nine days it took to complete the 532-kilometre route.

The ride covers Hindmarsh, Horsham, Northern Grampians, Ararat and Southern Grampians municipalities and councils from all are investment partners.

It exploits attractions ranging from the Silo Art Trail and Mt Arapiles to the ‘Grampians Way’, a circumnavigation route around Grampians National Park.

Grampians Tourism played a key role in securing the annual ride, easily one of the biggest cycling tours on the

Victorian events calendar. Mr Sleeman, in responding to a question about uncertainty based on the pandemic and health guidelines, said organisers were well aware of circumstances.

“It’s important to understand the Great Vic Bike Ride has been in operation for decades, is well established, reliable and has always had to deal with the health and wellbeing of all involved,” he said.

“They will be adhering to all necessary protocols to keep riders and communities safe.”

Bicycle Network has introduced a raft of COVID-safe procedures including increased cleaning services and site layouts that help with physical distancing and adhere to capacity limits.

“This event also doesn’t exclude local participation,” Mr Sleeman said.

“For many it might be a great op-

Plans to celebrate Minyip’s milestone Minyip’s population is set to swell ‘by the thousands’ next year as residents and visitors participate in a range of activities to celebrate the town’s 150th anniversary.

Community leaders are planning a long weekend of festivities, from March 11 to 14.

After the township was established in the early 1870s, Minyip flourished as a service centre for the region’s productive wheat growing district.

In 1984, Crawford Productions ‘rediscovered’ the town, turning Minyip into the fictional location of ‘Coopers Crossing’ in long-running television series, The Flying Doctors.

Organising committee chairman Peter Niewand said the town featured many buildings of historical significance, which people would be able to view during a walking tour.

“We’ve got all these plaques on all the old buildings,” he said.

“The historical society will do a walk and explain some of the history of the town.”

Sesquicentenary celebrations will kick off in Minyip Memorial Hall on the Friday night, with a reception organised by Yarriambiack Shire Council.

The evening will also feature the launch of a Minyip 150 book.

“Then we roll on to Saturday for our normal show ’n’ shine,” Mr Niewand said.

“On the Sunday there will be an ecumenical service along with a cemetery walk by Wayne Jackson.

“There’s 150 or something children’s unmarked graves out there and they’re opening a monument up with a special

portunity to discover their own back yards, experience what it’s about and perhaps gain a fresh perspective on the great part of the world in which we live.

“And of course, the Great Vic Bike Ride hopefully represents a catalyst for an events-sector recovery – an entrée to a busy and vibrant events calendar that looms in a COVID-safe future.”

Municipal councils across the region have already started promoting the ride.

Horsham Rural City Council has urged its businesses, community groups, schools and performers to explore ways to get involved.

They have organised a community meeting for people to gain a greater understanding at The Station youth centre in Pynsent Street at 6pm on August 25.

Horsham water project a goer

From page 1 “The National Water Grid Connections is all about driving the construction of smaller-scale projects during the next two years to provide short-term economic stimulus,” Mr Joyce said.

“The cumulative impact for the National Water Grid will be significant. Collectively, these projects are expected to support more than 7000 hectares of irrigable land and connect 400 new customers. An additional 13,000 customers are expected to benefit from improved water access or reliability. Up to 1175 jobs will be supported during construction, with more than 2550 ongoing and up to 500 more seasonal jobs set to be created nationally.”

Mr Niewand said there would also be a fishing competition for children at the wetlands, with festivities to conclude with a town breakfast on the Monday morning.

He said there was plenty of excitement surrounding the milestone weekend.

“Rupanyup had thousands turn up, so we are envisaging something similar,” he said.

He said he hoped there would no longer

be COVID-19 restrictions, with more people vaccinated.

“Once we hit summer, we’ll be better off,” he said.

Mr Niewand said the town’s caravan park, football oval and golf club would be opened up to caravans due to a lack of accommodation options.

Applause for student-teacher plan A

key western Victorian education figure has applauded a program to expand student-teacher placements in the Wimmera.

Education and Training Department South West Victoria spokesman Chris Walter of Horsham said a partnership between the State Government and three Victorian universities to provide work-experience opportunities in the Wimmera was ‘great news’.

“To have a large number of pre-service teachers working in rural and remote schools to complete their teacher training is exciting,” he said.

Mr Walter was commenting after Education Minister James Merlino announced an agreement involving the provision of an extra 60 student-placement opportunities in Wimmera schools.

The program involves Federation, Deakin and Australian Catholic universities providing placements of up to 25 days with an increasing focus of ‘specialist schools and inclusive education’.

The agreement also involves establishing a new Teaching Academy of Professional Practice to support schools hosting pre-service teachers.

Federation University’s Horsham campus will become a hub for school and university partners.

The agreement runs from July 2021 to the end of 2022, a period designed to give partner universities an opportunity to explore long-term support networks for rural and regional teacher education.

Mr Walter said the hope was student teachers forged lasting connections

during their experiences in the region.

“Hopefully they become immersed in the country lifestyle and stick around to forge brilliant careers educating the young people of the Wimmera,” he said.

Federation University School of Education Dean Professor Claire McLachlan said the partnership was a ‘fantastic’ opportunity ‘to provide professional learning opportunities to students about teaching in the regions and working as a community to provide a skilled workforce’.

“The teaching academies have previously mainly operated in metropolitan Melbourne,” she said.

“This is the first time a teaching academy will be fully focused on teaching practice in the region.

“It is a great opportunity for the uni-

versities to work with a large number of primary and secondary schools in the Wimmera to co-develop a shared understanding of effective teaching practice, which is genuinely informed by place-based understandings of effective practice.”

Deakin University vice-chancellor Professor Iain Martin added the partnership offered an opportunity to develop the next generation of regional teachers.

“We are proud to be joining with other universities and the Victorian government on this ground-breaking initiative,” he said.

Mr Merlino said the government was thrilled to help an extra 60 emerging teachers into schools across Horsham district.

“They will not only help our kids

thrive but also receive the support they need to become great school teachers and leaders,” he said.

Higher Education Minister Gayle Tierney: “This is a great example of government, universities and industry coming together on a solution that will contribute to Victoria’s pipeline of skilled workers and benefit our communities.”

The government’s 2021-22 State Budget included $4.8-million for programs to support Victorian teacher development. This included two new Teaching Academies of Professional Practice partnerships between schools and universities and support to develop 10 existing partnerships.

The budget also included a $383.8-million investment in the skills and training sector.

Footpath dancers ‘feeling a little lighter’ Expanded park facilities

Amy Anselmi was one of many Wimmera people ‘feeling a bit flat’ following last week’s announcement of Victoria’s sixth COVID-19 lockdown.

So she went home, put on her headphones and enjoyed a one-woman silent disco on the footpath outside her house.

“I was feeling a bit out of sorts and flat, probably like most people,” Ms Anselmi said.

“I just thought, what do I do? I can’t go around and see a friend, I can’t go out anywhere, so I put my headphones on, came out here and danced in the dark.

“It just lifted everything.”

After rocking out to songs including Affirmation by Savage Garden and Somebody to Love by Queen, the Horsham dance teacher formulated a plan.

“At 8pm every evening during lockdown number six, we head out onto the footpaths outside our homes, put on our headphones and dance,” she said.

“Then we go back inside feeling a little lighter and a little more connected to the world.”

Ms Anselmi launched a ‘Silent Footpath Lockdown Disco’ Facebook group and soon clocked up 100 members.

She now has more than 400.

“Our Facebook group got a lot of people really excited to come out of their houses, just onto their footpaths, at 8pm on every night of lockdown to just have a boogie for a few minutes,” she said.

Adding to the community feel, group members shared videos of themselves and family members participating in the silent disco.

Members celebrated the final night of lockdown six on Monday following Premier Daniel Andrews’ announcement restrictions would ease in regional Victoria.

Contractors have completed further improvements to Dimboola Riverside Holiday Park on the banks of the Wimmera River.

Work has included extension to a camp kitchen and the addition of an all-abilities-accessible bathroom. The new bathroom, next to the kitchen, provides shower, toilet and change-table facilities for park patrons regardless of their mobility.

There is also a new outdoor area that includes a twin-plate barbecue and sink and picnic tables and a shade sail.

Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said the council looked forward to patrons using the new facilities, completed with money from the State Government’s Great Outdoors Camping and Caravan program.

T

he team at The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM encourages readers, listeners and communities to remain vigilant and strong as we try to cope with the pressure and uncertainty of COVID-19.

Being an advocate for and intrinsically tied to our communities through business, work and play, we share and understand the anxiety, frustration, disappointment and hardship everyone is experiencing.

It can be a tough ask, but we urge everyone to try to take a glasshalf-full approach to day-to-day life and use whatever works best to generate a sense of confidence that we will ultimately prevail.

Our history in dealing with testing circumstances more than suggests we can be tough and resilient, especially when working with a regional focus as a collective.

This is one of those times where it is important to have a philosophy that everyone – from family and friends to neighbours and complete strangers – matters.

Isolation through lockdowns can make it hard to physically reach out or engage face to face, but if the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s the opportunities we have through modern communication technology. There are many ways to say connected.

It is important to realise, however, that up to 30 percent of the Wimmera and southern Mallee

While that figure might flabbergast many, it tells us that something like a simple phone call might be the best way to check in with and-or engage with someone.

And when was the last time, apart from sending the odd Christmas card, we hand-wrote a letter and sent it through the post?

Try it – it is an acute reminder of how personalised this form of communication can be to someone.

Nhill show cancelled Nhill Agricultural and Pastoral Society will work on completing maintenance on buildings at Nhill Showground after cancelling its 2021 annual show.

The society will work on the buildings to ensure the show’s return in 2022 is ‘bigger and better’.

It is the second year in a row circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have forced the society to cancel its October show.

Secretary Julie Woolcock said the decision to cancel show day in 2020 was an easy one because committee members were bound by State Government restrictions at the time.

She said a 2021 decision, however, was much more difficult.

“The committee wanted to give Nhill and district community back its annual day of enjoyment and an opportunity to come together after the trying times of 2020 that have carried into 2021,” she said.

“The committee believes the community will accept and respect the decision they have made; not only does it affect the Nhill A and P Society financially but many other organisations that use the show as a much-needed fundraiser.”

The society will carry over memberships paid or people seeking a refund can call 0448 732 609.

Through solidarity, clear thinking, understanding and care we can support others when needed.

It is what makes communities of the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District special.

The threats of isolation are far from discriminatory – they not only affect the elderly and children, but also take a heavy toll on the likes of young adults desperate to mingle, explore and find their way in the world.

Again, we know how testing the environment is on our patience, but we impress on everyone to continue to galvanise themselves for the moment, consider the benefits of what we have more than what we’re missing and to zero in on the prospects of a bright future.

Change of plans P

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

hoebe Cartledge and her fiancé Xander Baker were picking up groomsmen’s suits in Ballarat on Thursday when Phoebe’s father called with an important question – ‘Want to get married tonight?’

“We were due to get married on Monday, but dad called to say we might be going into lockdown and did we want to bring our wedding forward a few days,” Phoebe said.

“In the car on the way back we were trying to work out, do we move it and risk that we might not go into lockdown and could have had our wedding as planned, or do we not move it and risk that we go into lockdown and maybe not be able to get married for a few more weeks or months?

“We decided that we just wanted to get married.”

A ‘crazy rush’ ensued as the couple and family members made phone calls to existing suppliers and sourced some last-minute help.

Soon after, Premier Daniel Andrews announced Victoria’s sixth lockdown would take effect across the state at 8pm that evening.

The couple’s decision had paid off – the new Mr and Mrs Baker tied the knot in front of family and closest friends in the barrel room at Seppelt winery, Great Western.

Phoebe’s father, pastor Andrew Car-

tledge, married the couple, who livestreamed the ceremony on YouTube.

“We were supposed to have a lunch time wedding on Monday and Seppelt was super flexible, moving the wedding and helping us organise everything so we could be finished by 8pm, because of the lockdown, so people could get home on time,” Phoebe said.

“Everyone was so wonderful and helpful.

“Thankfully I had picked up my dress the weekend before and the tailor in Horsham had just finished hemming Xander’s suit that day.”

Phoebe wore a Madi Lane gown from Melissa E Bridal and was accompanied by her sister Chloe as maid of honour.

Xander’s groomsmen included best man Cody Bell and Nick Smith.

Phoebe is the daughter of Andrew and Rachel Cartledge, of Horsham, and Xander the son of Maree and Ali Baker of Murtoa.

Originally from Sydney, Phoebe moved to Horsham with her family when her parents became pastors at Harvest Church.

“Xander and I met through church, we became friends and were soon inseparable,” Phoebe said.

“He proposed on Christmas Day last year.”

Phoebe said she thought the COVID-19 pandemic might cause a

MR AND MRS: Horsham’s Phoebe Cartledge and Xander Baker moved their wedding forward on Thursday, in a matter of hours, to tie the knot ahead of Victoria’s sixth COVID-19 lockdown.

Picture: DREAM CAVE few hiccups with wedding planning but she was not too concerned.

“We thought there might be a few issues because of COVID, but by December it had kind of blown over a bit,” she said.

“We thought coming out of the last lockdown we’d be in the clear, but it wasn’t the case.”

Phoebe said she and Xander did not feel like they missed out on their ‘dream wedding’ because of the

last-minute change in plans. “I feel like this was meant to be,” she said.

“We still had everyone we wanted there.

“We just wanted to get married and it was still our dream day.”

The lockdown has also affected the couple’s honeymoon plans.

“We were meant to be going to Mornington Peninsula this week but obviously we can’t do that any more,” Phoebe said.

“We’re hoping the lockdown is only one week and we’ll be able to go somewhere a little more local soon.

“But despite all that, we just really appreciate all the help and support of the people who helped us out and helped make our wedding happen.

“Everyone was so amazing. Living in a small country town, everyone is super friendly and willing to help out.”

Border community vaccine push A

group representing Victorian regional councils has called for state and federal governments to prioritise border communities in the national vaccine rollout.

Rural Councils Victoria, in declaring its commitment to be part of the fight against COVID-19, has called on both higher tiers of government to act swiftly on the call.

Chair Mary-Ann Brown said border communities were integrated state borders and could be more vulnerable to COVID-19 when pandemic

rules differed in adjoining jurisdictions.

“Rural Councils Victoria is calling on the state and federal governments to prioritise vaccine rollouts in border communities to help prevent the spread, eliminate the need for rural lockdowns and provide a buffer for metropolitan areas and regional cities in the event of COVID-19 breaching state borders,” she said.

“We have the local knowledge, the networks and the facilities that are needed to facilitate swift vaccine rollouts.”

Cr Brown said one way the

concept could work was that communities along both sides of a border were prioritised, followed by communities further north and further east and west from the Victoria-NSW border or the Victoria-South Australia border.

“Of course, we are calling on all Victorians and all Australians to get vaccinated as a matter of urgency,” Cr Brown said.

She said tackling the virus in rural Victoria using rules designed for cities was particularly challenging.

“For instance, the five-kilometre rule doesn’t work for

communities in large tracts of the state, where the nearest supermarket can be 50 kilometres or more from home,” she said.

Cr Brown said Rural Councils Victoria also urged the State Government to allow small businesses to keep operating, within COVID-safe guidelines.

“Rural communities would

“It’s definitely a section that we’re going to continue with into the future.

“As always, the group entries in every category were a highlight. We had piano duets, vocal ensembles and trios, a wind ensemble and a family band.

“There really were a lot of highly entertaining, top-quality entries this year and it’s just a shame the whole community didn’t get to see them.”

After cancelling the previous two eisteddfods, the committee is looking forward to what members hope will be a live event in 2022.

“We are ever hopeful that we will be able to have an actual, live, adjudicated eisteddfod next year,” Mrs Elbourne-Hobbs said.

“However, if next year rolls on like the past two years, we will prepare an online eisteddfod from the beginning.

“It will have its challenges no doubt, but after putting together what we did on Sunday, we are confident we have the ability within our committee and our competitors to do that.

“The committee would like to thank all of those who submitted entries to make the Eisteddfod showcase happen.”

People can follow Wimmera Music Eisteddfod on Facebook and Instagram for more information.

Horsham municipal leaders have encouraged notfor-profit organisations to apply for up to $3000 to help present community events amid uncertainty of the global pandemic.

Horsham Rural City Council has $30,000 to support events during the next 12 months.

The Regional Development Victoria community events fund aims to strengthen community resilience, reduce financial risk and support innovation.

Eisteddfod showcase lifts spirits Despite the cancellation of this year’s Wimmera Music Eisteddfod due to COVID-19 lockdowns, the committee was able offer an online showcase featuring 82 performances across a range of disciplines.

Organiser Venetia Elbourne-Hobbs said although Sunday’s event was only open to registered competitors and their families due to copyright, the showcase was ‘extremely well attended’.

“Sunday’s showcase was the first time that we’d tried anything like it,” she said.

“We were able to livestream emcees in between the different sections and stream everyone’s pre-recorded entries. It all ran really smoothly, much better than we anticipated.

“We’ve had a lot of very positive feedback. The event ran for three and a half hours, so I think we had just the right amount of content to present.”

Eisteddfod competitors were given an opportunity to submit a recorded entry of an item they would have been performing at the Wimmera Music Eisteddfod if it had gone ahead.

“We had a very diverse range of entries, which made the showcase really enjoyable to watch,” Mrs Elbourne-Hobbs said.

“The newly introduced monologue section had four competitors in different age groups appearing in the showcase and they were just brilliant.

support a nuanced approach to easing restrictions in rural Victoria,” she said.

“Rural people are happy to keep wearing masks, sanitise their hands and keep their distance, so that this would be possible.”

With an expansive virus outbreak underway in NSW, much of Victoria’s state border focus has been on limiting travel between Victoria and NSW. But rules have also played a heavy toll on communities either side of the Victorian-South Australia border, including Wimmera communities.

Money for emergencies A State Government funding boost will help municipal councils such as Horsham Rural City, Hindmarsh, West Wimmera, Yarriambiack, Northern Grampians and Ararat prepare for and respond to emergencies.

The government is providing $26,400 to Northern Grampians, $13,200 to Ararat and $52,800 collectively to the other Wimmera councils.

The program pays for planning, communication and co-ordination work to ensure communities are prepared and resilient.

Councils can use the money for emergency planning work, including education for culturally and linguistically diverse communities in at-risk areas and ensure emergency work can occur in a COVID-safe environment.

Before, during and after emergencies, council responsibilities include supporting vulnerable people, running relief centres and supporting economic and social recovery while ensuring important regular services continue.

Councils routinely use the funding to appoint an emergency-management specialist and some collaborate with neighbouring councils to fund a specialist position across their areas.

The Municipal Emergency Resourcing Program started in 2010 in response to the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission.

Local Government Minister Shaun Leane said councils, with a close connection to people ‘on the ground’ played an important role during emergencies.

“We want to continue making sure they can do the critical work of supporting their communities,” he said.

...with a twist

TRADING HOURS:

Parks Victoria is drawing closer to completing a major trail construction project in Grampians National Park, which is expected to generate millions of dollars for the region’s tourism sector.

Parks Victoria hosted a series of face-to-face and online information sessions for stakeholders and licensed tourism operators last month, outlining progress of the Grampians Peaks Trail.

Work is scheduled to be completed in spring, with bookings opening in the coming month for visitors planning to stay at 11 hiker camps along the route.

The sessions came after four new day-hike trails opened in northern and southern sections of the national park in May. The trails take in the landscape of Mount Stapylton, Lake Wartook, lower waterfalls of Mount Difficult, also called Gar, and Signal Peak.

Leaders expect completion of the project will bring opportunities to the region beyond the walk itself, with expectations up to 34,000 walkers will experience the national park annually by 2025, generating more than $6-million in economic benefit in the region.

When complete, the 160-kilometre trail can be experienced in sections, or as a 13-day journey.

People can visit Parks Victoria website www. parks.vic.gov.au for more information about the trail.

Regional lockdown relief, ‘but too late’

M

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy welcomed the State Government’s lifting of regional Victoria from a statewide lockdown.

But Ms Kealy said while the move was the right thing to do, it came four days too late for many Victorians.

“With no active cases or exposure sites in regional Victoria, families, small business owners and communities had been pleading for common sense,” she said.

“The announcement means our kids are back in the classroom, our pubs, coffee shops, beauty services and retail stores can reopen and that loved ones can again gather for the moments where we need connection the most – at weddings, funerals and religious ceremonies.

“But it’s the lockdown regional Victoria didn’t need to have.

“It’s four days too late for regional cafes, restaurants and pubs that had to cancel bookings and throw out tens of thousands of dollars worth of fresh food ahead of another snap lockdown.

“It’s four days too late for the Vic-

torians who couldn’t go to work because they are in casual work; for tourism and entertainment businesses that were already struggling to survive but have lost another busy weekend of trading; for our children who couldn’t go to school, forcing teachers to make last-minute changes to their education plans twice in just a few days; and for the many Victorians who are mentally overwhelmed with the constant yo-yoing in and out of Labor’s lockdowns.”

People living in regional Victoria, including the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District, will still need to follow various COVID-19 guidelines despite the State Government lifting a lockdown on regional Victoria.

Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed on Monday morning that regional Victoria would come out of statewide lockdown based on advice from Victoria’s Chief Health Officer.

The lifting of hard restrictions meant the government removed the ‘only five reasons to leave home’ guidelines for regional Victoria.

Lockdown rules remain in place for metropolitan Melbourne.

Mr Andrews, when last week initially confirming the lockdown was for regional as well as metropolitan Victorians, said the move was based on a positive wastewater test in Wangaratta and an example of how a previous outbreak had spread as far as Mildura.

“We all have to play our part,” he said.

Ms Kealy congratulated Wangaratta mayor Dean Rees ‘for standing up for his community – and every regional Victorian’ to provide clarity around wastewater testing.

“It was Cr Rees’ revelations on Friday that the Premier was – at best – misinformed… that meant hundreds of thousands of Victorians could come out of lockdown,” she said.

She added that Mr Andrews should have lifted the regional lockdown as soon as he knew the truth.

“Living under constant threat of lockdown is killing our communities in regional Victoria,” she said.

“Victorians deserve a plan out of lockdown that uses rapid testing so we can have a proportionate, targeted response to outbreaks.”

Put vaccine ‘on top of the list’ Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has encouraged people across the region planning to have a COVID-19 vaccination to avoid delaying making an appointment.

She said it was a good idea for people who planned to have the vaccine to put it at the top of the to-do list.

“If you’re going to get it done, get it done or make an appointment to get it done. And if you’re unsure about it, talk to your doctor. That’s the general and simple message,” she said.

“There is plenty of Astra Zeneca vaccine available across the region and there is also Pfizer vaccine at many centres.”

Ms Kealy happily had her first dose of Pfizer vaccine at Lister House Medical Clinic’s vaccination centre at Up Tempo in Dimboola Road, and is booked to get a second in three weeks.

Clinic chief executive Amanda Wilson said vaccinations at the centre were closing in on a 10,000 mark.

She also encouraged anyone with appropriate qualifications keen to help with the program to come forward.

Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster said Monday’s announcement was a great win for regional Victorians who had been ‘unjustly hurt by statewide lockdowns’.

“The announcement from the Premier that the regional Victorian lockdown would be lifted rights a wrong for regional communities,” she said.

“This lockdown was based on incorrect data and should have been lifted much sooner.

“We have suffered under unnecessary and disproportionate lockdowns over the past 16 months.

“The State Government must learn from its past actions and realise it needs to treat the regions with more respect and consideration.

“Regional communities have shown they are willing to comply and assist in testing and tracing and lockdown, when required, but not when there is no evidence of COVID-19 in our communities.

“On the weekend I wrote to the Premier urging him to lift the lockdown in regional communities.

“I also urged him to put a ring of

‘The show must go on’ D

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

espite restrictions and disappointments associated with COVID-19 lockdowns, Horsham College production leaders are maintaining ‘the show must go on’ in relation to the school’s upcoming musical.

Staff and students have been working hard towards an annual production, which was shelved in 2020 because of the pandemic.

The college will present Matilda the Musical in Horsham Town Hall from August 19 to 21.

Director Emily Friedrichsen said organisers had added a matinee on Saturday – in addition to evening performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday – following news that show audiences were capped at 50 percent capacity.

“Hopefully we’ll be able to get a few extra in for that matinee show,” she said.

“We’ve got three school-shows – again, unfortunately we did have three fully booked shows – but because of restrictions we’re going to have to pull those back to 50 percent.

“But it’s still another opportunity for the kids to perform after all the hard work they’ve put in all year.”

Ms Friedrichsen said the students were excited despite ever-changing conditions.

“We’re trying to get a few more last-minute weekend rehearsals and day rehearsals without affecting too much class time, because they’ve already missed so much throughout the COVID lockdowns,” she said.

“But the kids have been really good

about it, they understand COVID has played a massive part in restricting what they can do this year.

“We haven’t been able to have our vocal director come in, a lot of the sets are now being looked after by a theatre studies class here at the college, we’ve had textiles VCE classes helping with costumes, and the year nines and 10s have helped put some sets together.

“We’re really feeling the love this year, which is great. Everyone is coming together.”

Ms Friedrichsen said production leaders tried to involve as many students as possible each year.

“Sometimes it’s not possible because of the timelines and projects that students are making,” she said.

“We’ve been lucky enough this year that some students have been able to put in extra work, because they’ve finished what they’ve been doing, and started on

a different project. It will be great for them to see something they’ve made go into actual use, because they’re seeing their skills put into practice.”

Award-winning Matilda the Musical is based on the much-loved book by Roald Dahl and features songs by Tim Minchin.

It is the story of ‘an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny’.

Tickets – capped at 100 for each performance – are available online at hthpac.sales.ticketsearch.com/sales/ salesevent/14068.

“They say that famous quote of ‘the show will go on’ and it will go on,” Ms Friedrichsen said.

“The kids are working hard and they’re really excited.”

WORKING HARD: Horsham College students rehearse for Matilda the Musical, set to hit the Horsham Town Hall stage on Thursday next week. The cast includes, clockwise from above: Sienna Walsgott; the ensemble with Mal O’Brien, centre, as Bruce; and Leni Hopper.

Headaches – they’re common, in fact they are so common that pharmaceutical companies would have you believe that they’re normal and they have a list of pills for a quick fix so you can soldier on with your day.

CONTACT BCH TODAY

So what’s the best thing to do?

1) Stop and think why you have a headache, maybe you need to have a couple of glasses of water, maybe eat something, maybe you need to sit out of the glaring hot sun, maybe you’re tired?

2) Have those 2 glasses of water and sit quietly and have a rest if you can.

3) See your chiropractor.

Chiropractors are great at looking after headaches. A good chiropractor will listen and take a comprehensive history. They will check your spine to see what stiffness and fixations are attributing to the problem. It maybe a simple adjustment that helps you or it maybe more complicated. No matter what the issue a good chiropractor can assist and guide you to have the best possible outcome and work with other professionals to the benefit of your health.

Interesting fact : children suffer headaches and migraines, however they often start off as tummy pains and as the child gets older become headaches and migraines. Chiropractors are good at identifying these issues.

Antique press fires up for festival

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

O

rganisers of an upcoming festival blending Victoriana and imagination have made the most of an antique nineteenth century printing press.

On September 4, Dimboola will become an ‘enchanting place’, featuring illuminated period buildings and people mingling in ‘twisted’ 19th century costumes.

Given the theme, it was only fitting the Wimmera Steampunk Festival promotional poster was set up letter by letter, space by space and printed on a Wharfedale Double Crown stop-cylinder press.

The press is one of several machines rendered obsolete by modern technology, sitting in the old Dimboola Banner newspaper building.

Dimboola and District Historical Society – along with a generous benefactor – can be thanked for retaining and maintaining the region’s rich printing history.

Dimboola Printing Museum houses a ‘rare and extensive’ collection of ‘as it operated’ printing presses and associated machinery, all still operable.

Society member Dale Conroy said the museum was created following the Dimboola Banner’s sale to David Ward of Warracknabeal.

“He no longer wanted the building, he just wanted the masthead,” he said.

“We put a notice in our historical society newsletter that the building was up for sale and fortunately one of our members from Melbourne rang us up and said she would buy it for us, if we maintained it as a printing museum.

“She bought the building for us and the previous owners said they

MAINTAINING HISTORY: Dimboola Printing Museum volunteer Raymond King uses a Wharfedale Double Crown press, circa 1890, to produce Wimmera Steampunk Festival posters. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER would donate all the machinery and furniture.”

Mr Conroy and fellow society member Raymond King were tasked with running the project.

“We’ve collected a few more pieces, mainly locally from Nhill and Jeparit printing offices, to try to make it a bit of a district printing museum,” Mr Conroy said.

“We want to record the history of the papers in the district and are trying to maintain the machines and keep them running as best as possible.”

Mr Conroy said Dimboola Printing

Museum was open to the public, but restricted to group bookings.

“There’s a lot involved in cleaning the machines down for just one or two people as they come through,” he said.

“We do get a lot of car clubs, probus groups, people like that. We had the Geelong MG club of about 60, who came about a month ago.

“We’re really reliant on those groups coming along to keep us up and running.

“It probably costs us about $2000 a year just for power and basic costs.”

Important legacy

Mr Conroy said the region was lucky to retain so much of its rich printing history and a celebration was in the pipeline.

“We have not advertised the museum anywhere yet or made it very well known. It’s only been by word of mouth that people have found out,” he said.

“We’ve got a fair bit more cleaning up of the place to do. At the moment we’re cataloguing all the old printing blocks.

“We’ve got a lady coming in who’s identifying all the type.

“The type cabinets haven’t been labelled so we don’t know what fonts they are. She’s identifying all those and cataloguing all those for us.”

Mr Conroy said setting up the museum was a long-term process.

“In 2029 we will celebrate 150 years of printing in Dimboola, so hopefully it’s all organised by then because we would like to have a big opening for that,” he said.

“Probably our biggest issue is having technicians who know about these machines.

“We did have a fellow from Horsham who would come up every Friday, Roger Smith, he was a Linotype technician. He was working on the machines for us, but unfortunately, he passed away. So we lost the only technician in the area that we knew of who had any great knowledge.

“We’ve had a few blokes from Melbourne come up and spend a day – the Linotype is the machine that needs the most care and attention.

“If you hear of any, let us know.”

Mr Conroy said although it was an extensive project, it was an important one.

“When there was a chance of us getting it, the society had to decide if it wanted to take on the project,” he said.

“Raymond and I were basically the two who said yes, we’ll do it, and we’ve been the ones stuck with it ever since.

“At the end of the day, if one of our members didn’t step forward and buy the building for us, the machinery all would have gone to scrap.”

Water bonus for irrigators

M

ore than 40 Wimmera River irrigators can access 100 percent of their surface-water allocations after consistent rain across the region.

GWMWater advised irrigators of the move after water volumes reached a trigger level in July.

A Wimmera Catchment Surface Water and Groundwater Local Management Plan details diversion ‘trigger’ rules.

This allows surface-water licence holders access to their full allocation after a minimum of 10,000 megalitres has flowed through a Glenorchy gauging station on the Wimmera River at any time during the year.

Norton Estate winery owner Chris

Spence said the season was looking encouraging with regular rain reaching the required trigger allocations and building soil-moisture levels ahead of summer.

“The more rain we get at this time of year means there is more moisture in the soil when the vines wake up in the middle of September,” he said.

“If we get good rain again through October and November, that will set up the vines up for the upcoming summer and saves a lot of water use.”

Mr Spence said the surface-water allocation was an important resource for the vineyard and stock production as an alternative to desalinated bore water.

“It’s important to have on hand to

Architect for school work

“The more rain we get at this time of year means there is more moisture in the soil when the vines wake up in the middle of September”

The State Government has appointed architect Fooks Martin Sandow Anson to design a $10-million upgrade of St Arnaud Secondary College.

Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford confirmed the appointment for the job that includes modernising the school, including a main building.

“We’re making sure that our schools have the best facilities, our classrooms have the best teachers and that every child is given every chance to succeed,” she said.

“St Arnaud families are a step closer to getting the great local school facilities their kids need to thrive.”

– Chris Spence, right

manage extreme weather over summer,” he said.

“When we have heat waves, we can extract enough water to give the vineyard a good watering over three to four days to avoid damage to the vines or the fruit we are producing.”

Mr Spence said although he had access to his full allocation, Norton Estate would only use what was required in the interest of protecting

the natural environment. “I’ve lived along the river for many years, I’m a fisherman and I thoroughly enjoy the Wimmera River at its best,” he said.

“The triggers are set up to allow protection of the river.”

Let it snow in the Grampians A cold and wet Wimmera winter might have few enthusiasts but the occurrence of snow in the Grampians has generated plenty of visitor interest.

Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said winter in the Grampians reflected a delightful contradiction in perception.

“Many people cringe with the onset of bitterly cold weather, but in the Grampians it presents an amazing opportunity to see nature at its best,” he said.

“There are a couple of sites above 700 metres where we’ve seen a blanket of snow dramatically change the environment and visitor experience.

Boroka Lookout and Mt William are two key locations that often have snow and I know of many people who keep an eye out for opportunities to experience a Grampians ‘winter wonderland’.

“Some people might believe that the cold of winter provides few opportunities to discover the magnificence of the Grampians and its surrounds. But the reality is that the landscape is often at its best at this time of year.

“With everything dripping green and with occasional snow, it presents a stunning and often unexpected experience for many. In some cases it can present children of the region with their first chance to see and touch snow.

“With a fair amount of winter to go there might some more chances to experience snow in the region.”

Mr Sleeman was quick to remind visitors keen to make the most of winter conditions in the Grampians to be vigilant in following COVID-19 guidelines and be aware of winter hazards.

tudent placements are helping to create the next generation of staff at Grampians Community Health, with new funding streams boosting in-demand family-violence services.

GCH community support general manager Kathy Day said the organisation’s student placement was introducing students to ‘the whole gamut’ of health-care services and attracting staff members.

“In the past few years we’ve recruited more and more through student placements, including about five people in family-violence and alcohol and other drugs programs and more in community aged-care programs,” she said.

Ms Day said expectations were that numbers would grow in coming years with new funding for students to work in family-violence programs.

“We have had about 20 students introduced to this program, which will help us to recruit in the future,” she said.

Under a separate funding stream, student social workers are going into family-violence programs as the industry moves towards employees requiring a social-work degree to work in the field.

“This gives people a taste of the work and opens up a potential source of future staff for us,” Ms Day said.

Figures show significant job growth in the family-violence field, with latest Victorian crime statistics for a police Northern Grampians region revealing an increase in family-violence orders from 84 to 179 in the past year.

GCH is also providing students insight into other services.

“Whichever course students are doing, we make sure the placement is relevant to what they need to achieve, but we feel it’s important to give them the opportunity to be exposed to all the other parts of community health,” Ms Day said.

“For example, someone doing a Certificate IV in Community Services might be placed in aged

Kathy Day care, but we also give them time in family-violence, alcohol and other drug services.

“Students really like this opportunity. They get to appreciate the number and types of services that GCH offers and how they can link together.

“It gives them an opportunity to experience different areas as they decide where they would like to work.”

Ms Day said after the introduction of National Disability Insurance Scheme, NDIS, and growth in community aged-care supports, there was more demand for workers in health and caring fields.

“There are more roles in case management and community health,” she said.

“The pool of potential employees is getting smaller but you’ve got to get the right person so student placements can be beneficial to the student and the agency.”

Ms Day said a placement could be the start of a pathway to a long-term career.

Farewell to highway curiosity One of the more curious roadside welcomes to Western Highway travellers entering Horsham is set to become a thing of the past.

Curiosities representing a variety of subjects and themes have long been on display on and alongside a shack and caravan on a corner block on Stawell Road.

They are the product of Horsham personality Clarrie Mackley, who with his late brother Wilfred, used a sense of quirky fun to build their display on the family block.

But Mr Mackley has decided to move on and sold the block, which has attracted attention

from district residents and visitors to film-makers, to pursue other interests.

“It belonged to my parents and when my father died I bought it back through the family,” he said.

“I lost my brother and the children didn’t want it so that’s why I’ve let it go.”

Mr Mackley, who enjoys tinkering with old vehicles, tractors and collectables, agreed the display had become an iconic part of Horsham.

“Just about everyone – from right across the state – has been in and out of the place at some stage,” he said.

Youth headline all-ages road tour T

BY DYLAN DE JONG

owns in the Wimmera are set to be among destinations for a regional Victorian tour featuring nationally recognised musicians next month.

Allday, Mallrat, Ninajirachi, Smith Street Band, JK-47 and Alex Lahy will be hitting the road in September and October to join Wimmera artists at Goroke, Warracknabeal and Stawell.

Australian youth music organisation The Push has teamed up with youth development program FReeZA in each town to organise the All-Ages Tour, which features 15 headline acts playing at 20 regional and outer-suburban locations.

Musicians from each town will also have an opportunity to open for headline acts, alongside a Triple J Unearthed artist.

Young people in the towns have been busy planning the event for the past three months and will help with all behind-the-scenes work as part of the shows.

Grampians Youth Events secretary Taia Hayter, who is leading a team of young people organising the Stawell event, said youth were gaining skills in events production, marketing and promotions and logistics.

“There’s a lot to do behind the scenes, both before and during the event,” she said.

“We have to cater to all of the artists we have coming and organise transportation for people in surrounding towns that might not be able to access the event.”

Taia said organising the event had given youth an opportunity to gain

GRAND OPPORTUNITY: Grampians Youth Events secretary Taia Hayter is working with young people in Stawell to organise a show featuring nationally recognised musicians.

Picture: DYLAN DE JONG invaluable skills relevant to the events industry.

“We’ve learned how to use a mixing desk, which was a strange experience, but really cool, we’ve also had tours of the town hall and learned a lot about the music scene,” she said.

“There’s lots of communication skills you develop with calling people, emailing and learning to develop the right language to use in a professional way.”

Taia said she hoped excitement gen-

erated from the all-ages event would encourage Stawell community to organise more big-scale events in the future.

“It’s really difficult to get an event off the ground the first time around and it takes a lot of time and money, but having this event could be such a good catalyst to create bigger events, like a youth festival with a local focus,” she said.

The Push chief executive Kate Duncan said the events would attract

thousands of young music fans to locations across the state, in what she tipped to be some of the ‘biggest and best’ all-ages events in the past 18 months.

“Obviously the live-performance sector has been overwhelmingly impacted over the past 18 months and this opportunity has really come from generous financial support from the State Government to start staging live-music events again in a COVIDsafe way,” she said.

The organisation plans to build on a 2019 pilot tour, which featured Ruby Fields and Baker Boy who played to sold-out crowds across regional Victoria.

Other musicians to join the 2021 bill are The Chats, Dallas Woods, KIAN, MLBRN, Thelma Plum and Teenage Joans at events from Wodonga to Warrnambool and Healesville to Hoppers Crossing across seven spring weekends.

Wergaia singer-songwriter Alice Skye, who grew up in Horsham, will also join Sycco at events in Wodonga, Bruthen and Mornington.

Ms Duncan said a big motivation for the tour was showing artists it could be viable to tour in regional and rural Australia.

“More than 10 years ago, regional tours were something established headline artists would prioritise, but the sector has changed in terms of consumption and the way artists generate income in a digital age,” she said.

“It will be about educating the sector while international touring will be off the cards and looking at ways we can really push regional touring again.

“Large capacity shows don’t seem like they’re going to be back anytime soon, so doing lots of these smaller local shows definitely seems like the safest way to plan a career in the music industry.”

Tickets can be purchased online through Moshtix.

Statewide survey delivers findings

R

esults of a statewide municipal survey have shown a rise in community satisfaction in the performance of Northern Grampians Shire Council.

Details show a rise in all measured areas, except for council direction, which remains relatively unchanged from a previous survey.

The council’s highest scores came from overall performance and customer service.

Victorian Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions engaged independent research organisation JWS Research to survey 66 Victorian councils and present individualised reports.

The telephone survey in March polled 400 Northern Grampians Shire residents.

The survey snapshot represented about four percent of the shire population.

It highlighted an increase in Northern Grampians Shire performance in consultation and engagement, but also showed a mixed perception of council overall direction across cohort and location.

Results for waste management, a new part of the survey, and performance in community decisions were both in line with small-rural-group and statewide comparator-group averages.

Council chief executive Liana Thompson said she placed high value on survey findings.

“This survey has been conducted in one form or another since we amalgamated and therefore provides us with a longitudinal study of council performance,” she said.

“Not only can we use the current data to inform the direction of our council and adjust our planning and delivery of services, but we can also reflect on previous years’ data to examine whether our community’s perception of us and what we provide to them is improving.

“Evidently, there is a body of work to be done to improve satisfaction levels for residents in St

Arnaud and residents in the 35 to 49-year-old age bracket. We will be responding to the community’s feedback and focusing on continued improvement in consultation and engagement and overall council direction.

“It’s important to note that the results benchmark us against other councils in Victoria. This is a significant motivator, but I believe it is also necessary to benchmark ourselves against organisations in other sectors as this is where we might uncover both strategic advantages for our organisation and new ways to improve service levels for our customers.”

The survey provides insight into community views on overall performance; value for money in services and infrastructure; community consultation and engagement; community decisions; customer service involving infrastructure, facilities and services; and overall council direction. Individual responses were aggregated and compiled into scores for each area and compared against two types of groups made up of statewide councils and similarly sized small rural councils.

Mayor Murray Emerson commended respondents for their contributions.

“We thank the community members who participated in this survey. It is time consuming and sometimes inconvenient to provide this level of information by telephone,” he said.

“Myself, my fellow councillors and council staff are responding to the data and will be addressing areas of concern. Please always feel welcome to provide feedback to us whether it is instigated by us, in the instance of this survey, or on an ad hoc basis. We are here to serve you.”

People can download the survey report online at www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/CSS2021 or request a printed version from the council’s customer service centres by calling 5358 8700.

FRESH FACES: From left, new AME Systems employee Fineaso Agaalenuu, with work group supervisor Michael Tonkes and Trisha Salaatoa Manuele, on the job.

Samoans settle in Ararat A Wimmera manufacturing company desperately trying to attract staff has employed 46 Samoan workers to address a major labour shortage.

Ararat company AME Systems paid about $3000 for each of the workers to quarantine in Melbourne after they arrived in Australia in early July.

The company has signed onto a Federal Government Pacific Labour Scheme, which allows Pacific Island workers to move to rural and regional Australia for up to three years.

AME Systems managing director Nick Carthew said the new workers would support the company’s rapid growth.

He said hard work went into securing the employees, who had become a welcome addition to the workforce.

“We want to thank the entire

community for getting behind us during this process,” he said.

“My family is very grateful to be able to maintain AME Systems in Ararat.”

All new employees have transitioned into their assigned areas within the business.

They have completed workforce inductions, manual-handling training, functional assessments and enjoyed bus tours of Ararat district.

Mr Carthew said AME employees had learnt family, community, singing, dancing and religious worships were important to their Pacific Islander co-workers and were excited to welcome their culture.

“I’m very impressed and appreciative of all the AME Systems employees who have welcomed the Samoans and

helped them feel very welcome,” he said.

“We are committed to our local community and this initiative will make a real difference in securing jobs. If anyone is looking for work, please go to our website to see what we have available.”

Mr Carthew said although the new employees were adapting to Victoria’s cold weather, everyone was ‘extremely positive’ and embracing the Australian experience.

He said when the state was easing out of COVID-19 lockdowns, the Samoans had started to venture out into the community shopping, dining and learning what to do in the region.

“They are especially keen to get involved in community sport,” he said.

Councils share in glass project C

BY DYLAN DE JONG

onverting recycled glass into a roadbase material is among key projects Yarriambiack Shire Council is working on in an attempt to solving waste-management issues.

A $175,000 State Government grant will enable the council to invest in a mobile glass-crushing unit as part of its recycling and water management program and move to a circular economy.

Mayor Graeme Massey said the plan to use recycled glass would save the council money in building roads, while it also represented a shift towards a greener future.

“We will be able to save thousands of dollars in reusing the waste product, but the biggest benefit for using glass as a road-base material will be for the environment,” he said.

“This will prevent all glass going to landfill and it will be transformed back into its original state as sand.”

Cr Massey said Buloke, Horsham Rural City, West Wimmera and Hindmarsh councils were partnering with Yarriambiack and would have access to the glass crusher.

“It will be shared between five councils in the Wimmera,” he said.

“The idea with the glass crusher is it will move around the different shires.”

Cr Massey said the council’s plans would help it prepare for changes to Victoria’s waste-management policies.

The State Government will introduce its container deposit scheme in 2023 to maximise the return of used drink cans, bottles and cartons for recycling, in a plan to significantly reduce Victoria’s litter.

People will be able to deposit containers either over the counter at shops or at reverse-vending machines at sites such as sporting clubs and charities and receive a refund for the disposal.

“We have to have our container deposit scheme sorted by the end of 2024, so our move to use the glass-crushing unit will help us meet some of our obligations under the State Government plans,” Cr Massey said.

The State Government also announced earlier this year 79 local government areas would need to introduce food and green organics and separate glass bins in addition to garbage and recycling by 2030.

Cr Massey said the project would also better position the council for when the state moved to a four-bin recycling system.

“We needed a separate glass bin, but with the small amount of waste our shire is producing that wasn’t going to be viable,” he said.

“The mobile glass-crushing unit will help significantly with the glass separation side of our obligations. We will still need to be looking at food and green organic options as well.”

The council’s recycled glass project is one of 50 across the state not-for-profit organisations and councils are working on to address waste issues.

Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the projects would identify, develop or deliver solutions to tackle almost one-million tonnes of waste and create 72 new jobs.

“Victorians are passionate about recycling.

Giving old objects a new life is good for the environment, good for businesses and good for the economy,” she said.

SHOW RETURN: Horsham Plaza hosted a car show in 2010 with an overwhelming response.

Organisers of this year’s event are hopeful they can again fill the car park.

Plaza car show to support families Volunteers are running a Horsham Plaza Father’s Day Car Show to raise money to support Wimmera families dealing with childhood cancer.

The Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids, WACK, Sunday car show will be from 10am to 1pm on September 5.

Organisers are welcoming car and motorcycle enthusiasts as well as trade-stand operators.

WACK volunteer Simon Clark said he was excited to run the car show after cancellation of an annual May Park event

earlier in the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said enthusiasts were always excited to show off their vehicles and ‘talk the talk’ with like-minded owners.

Vehicle owners can set up their vehicles in the plaza’s western car park before 9.30am on the day, until 1pm. People can display their vehicles for a $10 donation.

Organisers hope to make the Father’s Day Car Show an annual event.

The public is invited to attend

by gold coin donation. Trade stands are also welcome by donation, with no bookings necessary.

Kalkee Community Hub will operate a barbecue on the day.

Horsham Plaza last presented a Sunday car show in its car park in 2010, attracting an ‘overwhelming’ response.

People seeking more information can call WACK’s Simon Clark on 0429 941 241 or Brendan McKinnon on 0418 145 225.

MP follows up on regional rail

W

estern Victorian upper house member Stuart Grimley has followed up on a visit to the Wimmera by calling on state Public Transport Minister Ben Carroll to meet communities along a Nhill-Ararat rail line.

Through an adjournment debate in State Parliament, Mr Grimley asked the minister to meet council and community-group representatives to discuss the return of domestic rail services to the Wimmera.

Groups include Horsham Rural City and Hindmarsh Shire councils and Nhill Train Alliance.

Mr Grimley, Victorian leader of Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party, discussed the push for the return of Wimmera rail during a tour of the region last month.

He said he was informed during his visit that before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Transport had started a business case evaluating a shuttle from Nhill or Kaniva that connected with a Melbourne passenger-rail service at Ararat.

Mr Grimley asked the minister when the business case would be finished and if it would be made public.

Mr Grimley described the public-transport system in the Wimmera as ‘horrendous at best’.

He said it was a bus-based network ‘with horrible timetabling, extremely long and uncomfortable trips and difficult for elderly residents to use’.

“Instead of using buses to go to appointments in Melbourne, locals either go without or drive themselves to Ballarat to catch the train,” he said.

“Instead of using buses to go to appointments in Melbourne, locals either go without or drive themselves to Ballarat to catch the train”

– Stuart Grimley

“For those in Nhill, that’s a three-hour drive, then a train ride to Melbourne and then back again.

“The choice left for locals is either pay to stay overnight in Melbourne, which many can’t afford, or drive back home.

“People living in country Victoria understand that they won’t always have access to the exact same services as metropolitan areas and they understand that it does take longer to travel elsewhere.

“But in saying this we are seeing, now more than ever, a wider gap of services between the country and the city.

“It seems all the pieces of the puzzle are available for the return of rail; rolling stock is sitting in stabling yards in Melbourne that match the current track; the condition of the track is up to passenger-rail standard because it is used by the Overland, the right infrastructure is in place and the community is pushing for it.

“The only thing the communities in the Wimmera need now is a commitment from the State Government to return the rail service.

“Just because they live in the country, doesn’t mean they should have second-class services.”

Mr Grimley said the minister had 30 days to respond to his question.

BACK HOME: Boolite’s Sofia Laursen Habel will perform at a Friend’s of the Foundation ‘Soiree of Music’ event in Horsham next month to raise money for charity.

Positive growth July was a good month for LCV and SUV sales

D

espite several key states having been plunged into lockdown, the Australian new car industry has continued to post positive growth this year with 84,161 vehicles sold last month, marking a 16.1 percent improvement on July 2020.

Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and the Northern Territory were the front-runners of this success, all recording improvements of more than 20 percent, while New South Wales and the ACT went in the other direction, especially NSW, down 11.2 percent.

Nevertheless, 2021’s upward trajectory has continued with the yearly tally now sitting at 651,629, equating to a 26.5 percent improvement on the first seven months of 2020.

Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber

said the market’s growth showed the underlying strength, confidence and resilience in the market despite the lockdowns and ongoing delivery issues.

“We are also seeing the trend of restocking in the rental segment, with growth of 231.4 percent reflecting the increasing demand for tourism and travel,” he said.

“Also significant this month is the strong demand for electric, EV, and plug-in hybrid vehicles, PHEV, in Victoria and NSW where the State Governments have introduced a road user charge offset by consumer grants and continuing infrastructure investment.”

Given its dominance all through the previous months, it should come as no surprise that Toyota boasted the biggest share, 21 percent, of the market in July, shifting 17,643 vehicles – almost double the amount Mazda did in second, 8919 vehciles or 10.6 percent.

Behind the leaders, Ford rounded out the podium with 5569 sales, just a few hundred units clear of Mitsubishi in fourth with 5302.

As a result of the triple diamond’s strong showing, Kia was bumped down to fifth, 5202 sales, however it still managed to get the better of its sister company, Hyundai, which finished July with 5062 deliveries and a six percent market share.

The only European brand to crack the top 10 last month, Volkswagen maintained its consistency to once again claim seventh spot thanks to its 3840 sales.

Even with the Victorian and New South Wales lockdowns, Isuzu Ute managed to improve on June’s 10th place with an eighth in July, chalking up 3403 deliveries.

Chinese challenger MG finished ninth with 3313 new registrations, while Nissan rounded out the top 10

with 2691 sales. A lot like the lower ranks of the manufacturer’s top 10, the raging battle for individual supremacy between the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux took another turn last month, this time in favour of the Japanese ute, of which Toyota sold 4610 compared with Ford’s 4064 Ranger sales.

In a surprise upset, the Toyota Corolla claimed third with 2535 deliveries, denying the Isuzu D-Max a second consecutive month in the top three by just 108 units.

Mazda’s ever-popular CX-5, 2389 sales, was the fifth-most popular model, narrowly besting one of its chief rivals, in the form of the Toyota RAV4, by 44 registrations.

The fourth of four Toyotas within the top 10, the Prado notched up 2251 sales last month to finish in seventh, while the Hyundai i30 took eighth with 1914 sales.

The ageing but still popular Mitsubi-

shi Outlander came home ninth thanks to its 1792 deliveries, just six solitary units clear of the MG ZS in 10th.

In terms of segmentation, the passenger vehicle market has continued its gradual decline in popularity with sales down three percent last month in comparison with July 2020 – 17,619 v 18,157 – despite the surge in popularity of the Corolla and consistency of the i30.

The SUV market predictably continued its march upwards, posting a 15 percent year-on-year improvement – 42,020 v 36,553 – however it was the light commercial vehicles that were the real winners with sales up 40.9 percent to 20,994, of which 16,147 were 4x4 pick-ups.

Last month, 5152 new hybrids were purchased – more than 1500 less than in the corresponding month last year.

Toyota prices 300 Series LandCruiser

T

oyota Australia has announced pricing and specification highlights of its all-new 300 Series LandCruiser, with the new-generation off-road icon set to start from $89,990 plus on-road costs when it arrives next quarter.

Six different variants will be offered, starting with the base GX at the aforementioned sticker price before prices rise to $101,790 for the GXL, $113,990 for the VX, $131,190 for the Sahara, $137,790 for the GR Sport and $138,790 for the flagship Sahara ZX. Not only is the new range more expansive than the outgoing 200 Series range, it is also more expensive across the board, with prices rising by between $6917 and $10,717 for the existing ‘core’ nameplates while the GR Sport and Sahara ZX have no direct predecessors.

The price increases can be attributed to the fact this is an all-new model, riding on a bespoke version of Toyota’s TNGA global platform and powered exclusively by a new twin-turbocharged 3.3-litre V6 diesel engine developing 227kW-700Nm. The grunty bent-six is paired to an equally new 10-speed automatic transmission, which drives all four wheels all of the time.

Described by Toyota as ‘the most capable LandCruiser ever’, all versions of the 300 Series will come as standard with an ‘AWD Integrated Management’ system which ties the steering assist, brake and throttle control, shift pattern and drive torque distribution together for ‘precise handling and

NEW RANGE: Six variants, two new nameplates, price jumps summarise the new Toyota LandCruiser.

stability’. Standard equipment highlights on the entry-level GX include a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone integration, dusk-sensing LED headlights, keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera, express windows, electric park brake, downhill assist control and road-sign assist.

Stepping up to the GXL adds 18inch alloy wheels, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, Qi wireless phone charging, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and the new multiterrain select off-road system.

Things are stepped up quite drastically in the VX, which adds a heap of extra toys and gadgets to the package, including a bigger 12.3-inch multimedia system, 10-speaker sound system,

a 7.0-inch colour multi-info display, four-zone climate control, remote power windows, power-adjustable steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, rear parking support brake, panoramic view monitor and a ‘vehicle dynamics integrated management’ system.

The Sahara meanwhile, once the flagship of the LandCruiser portfolio, goes even further, adding a 14-speaker JBL audio system, head-up display, heated steering wheel, easy-access ventilation for the heated second-row seats and a power-folding third-row.

As for the GR Sport and Sahara ZX, Toyota will be marketing them both as flagship models, albeit with two very different intentions.

To mark it out as the hardcore offroader of the bunch, the GR Sport

brandishes a completely different look to the other models, headlined by its black mesh grille adorned with ‘TOYOTA’ block capital badging as well as the black 18-inch alloys, wheelarches, front bumper, side steps, door handles, mirror casings and window lines.

Diehard fans and adventurous types will be pleased to read the GR Sport will be able to back-up its rugged looks with equally rugged hardware lurking under the skin, like front and rear differential locks and electronic sway bar disconnect.

These key features are in addition to all of the toys and hardware fitted to the lower tiers, however it’s worth noting all 300 Series feature the same 235mm of ground clearance.

Inside the cabin will be two trim options; black and imitation ‘carbon-like

ornamentation’ or black and red – both feature a healthy dosing of leather.

Going in the other direction, the Sahara ZX is the luxury yacht of the range, featuring a unique front fascia and remodelled rear bumper, bodycoloured wheelarches, illuminated side steps and chrome trim.

Riding on 20-inch alloy wheels, the Sahara ZX will arguably be the least capable off-road due to its reduced approach angle, extended front overhang and lower profile tyres, however it should prove one of the most comfortable and dynamic thanks to its adaptive suspension.

That’s not to say it can’t go off the beaten track – it still shares the same 235mm of ground clearance and a ‘torque-sensing’ limited slip differential.

Inside the cabin will be the choice of black, beige or red-and-black leather upholstery, all complemented by the carbon-look trim on the steering wheel, centre console and doors.

Both the GR Sport and Sahara ZX will come with five driving modes and adaptive high beam, but the latter ups the opulence with four heated and ventilated seats and a hands-free tailgate with kick sensor.

All 300 Series will feature a lowrange transfer case, 3500kg braked towing capacity and a trailer wiring harness.

Toyota has sold 12,159 LandCruiser wagons so far this year ending July 31, accounting for an unassailable 87.4 percent share of the sub-$100,000 upper large SUV segment.

Feds commit $25m to charge EVs

F

ederal Government funding will result in more than 400 public fast-charging stations for battery electric vehicles rolled out across Australia.

The government’s Future Fuels Fund’s first funding round will go to five applicants – Evie Networks, $8.85-million, Ampol, $7.05-million, Engie, $6.85-million, Chargefox, $1.4-million, and Electric Highways Tasmania, $400,000.

Nineteen projects were approved, valued at $24.55 million.

Applicants will build a total of 403

fast-charging stations, with 127 in NSW, 106 in Victoria, 86 in Queensland, 33 in Western Australia, 29 in South Australia, 10 in Tasmania, nine in the ACT and three in the Northern Territory.

Announcing the program, the Federal Government’s Australian Renewable Energy Agency said the charging stations would be built across eight geographic regions covering 14 of Australia’s most populous cities and include regional centres Geelong, Newcastle, Wollongong and the Sunshine Coast.

Each region will receive a minimum of eight new stations, all of which will be capable of charging at least two vehicles concurrently at 50kW or more.

The program is the result of expanding the funding pool by $8.05-million to $24.55-million, from an initial allocation of $16.5-million.

The Future Fuels Fund is a $71.9million initiative announced in the 2020-21 Federal Budget to remove barriers to the uptake of new vehicle technologies.

– Neil Dowling

SPARKING INTEREST: Hundreds of new EV charging stations across Australia should boost consumer confidence toward buying plug-in vehicles.

Two dragons walking the tightrope

ew car companies have walked the tightrope of viability across a windy chasm and remained as upright as SsangYong.

The Indian-owned South Korean car-maker that once used drivetrains licensed from Mercedes-Benz has been in a tizz for two decades in Australia since launching in 1997 with a single model, the Musso large SUV. Now it looks like Mahindra, which bought 70 percent of SsangYong in 2011 before upping the stake to its current 74.65 percent, has sold off its shareholding after enduring a decade of court receiverships in 2009 and 2020, as well as relentless investment demands.

But even the saviour to Mahindra and to SsangYong itself, HAAH Automotive Holdings, swims in swirling waters.

HAAH failed to meet a March 31 deadline to make its bid for SsangYong and then said it would file for bankruptcy and ‘give up on Chinese cars’, a reference to its attempt to import Chery cars from China for the North American market.

Now to muddy the waters even further, HAAH boss Duke Hale has announced his new company, Cardinal One Motors, will buy SsangYong with plans to get that brand into North America. So farewell HAAH and hello Cardinal One.

So although Cardinal has yet to submit its documents to the courts in South Korea to extract SsangYong from court receivership, there is a bit of optimism at SsangYong.

This is enforced by a rendering of a new SUV, the X200, that is the product of SsangYong’s new design theme ‘Powered by Toughness’. It follows from the recent announcement of an electric version of the Korando small SUV. SsangYong – which means two dragons – is also selling the farm, with its factory finding a new owner

as the car-maker begins relocating to a new site.

The factory in Pyeongtaek, 70km south of South Korean capital Seoul, coves 850,000 square-metres and has been sold for $1.07-billion.

Meanwhile, in Australia, it’s business as usual.

SsangYong has run its Australian operation since 2018 after previously using an independent distributor.

The car-maker entered Australia in 1997 with the Musso and found some success with buyers interested by its tough, no-nonsense design and the

Mercedes-licensed engines. In 2002 it had the Rexton 4WD, with the range expanded in 2004 with the Jeep-like Korando and Stavic people mover SsangYong’s products had become run down in 2003 and 2004, but new models built volume up in 2005, with 2645 units finding buyers. This is a sales figure that has never been repeated in Australia, though some optimism exists that it could be surpassed this year – ironically the year where all SsangYong’s woes might have come to a head.

ed the sales consisted of the luxury Chairman, which was a Mercedes SClass clone, the Korando, the Musso in 4x2 and 4x4 versions the Rexton and the Stavic, a vehicle that was as divisive in its styling as it was impressive in its cabin spaciousness.

This six-model line-up grew to 10 by 2007 with the addition of three variants of the small SUV, the Actyon, but sales did not rise in proportion, with the year ending at 2123 units sold.

In 2009, as the world was hit by the global financial crisis that pushed SsangYong to its first court receivership, Australian sales halved to 1054 units.

During the lead-up to SsangYong taking factory control of its distribution in Australia, the brand was almost non-existent in 2018, with just three sales for the calendar year.

New models, including all-new Musso and Tivoli small crossover, revived buyer interest so that in 2020, sales rose to 1751.

The rebound from the 2020 pandemic lockdowns has benefited the car industry and SsangYong is no exception. In the first six months of 2021, SsangYong has sold 1421 units, a rate of about 250 a month, and on that projection it should finish the year at 2920 units – its best year yet if attained.

Love always Keith.

Ph 5381 1444

You gave us years of happiness, Then sorrow came with tears.

You left us lovely memories, To be treasured through the years.

Love always from Denise and Max, Daniel and Bron, Kaden and Bodhi, Rhianna and Baz, Jai, Jett and Ruby, Tony, Claire and Maddison.

No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts you will always be there.

Dearly loved mum and mother-in-law of Gary and Sue, Nan and Murray-Nan to Breanne and Jeff, Zara, Jayda and Hamish, Kristen and Michael, Evie, Will and Teddy.

Always in our thoughts, Forever in our hearts.

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day.

Today, tomorrow a whole life through, We will always remember you.

Love from Rob and Alby, Ellie and Jack.

Your gentle, caring and loving soul will always live on in our hearts.

Beloved mum of Rick and Bev, Kathleen and Paul, Hayley and Alex, Chris and Nikki.

In life we loved you, In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a special place, No one will ever fill.

Love Deb and Cameron, Tara and Matt, Hunter, Emella and Ryker, Joel, Jaxon and Alaura, Zack and Bec.

For most of us today, our homes are our sanctuary and we aren’t too keen on people knocking. It disrupts our lifestyle; it interrupts our ‘time off ’. Many homes even have a “Do Not Knock” sticker, warning away unexpected visitors.

“The Light of the World” is a well known painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt.

It shows a picture of Jesus preparing to knock on a door. The door is overgrown and long-unopened. The door handle cannot be seen, for it only has a handle on the inside.

Hunt painted it to show that Jesus comes to us, calls for our attention, but never pushes his way in. He waits for us to invite him into our hearts and our lives. When he does come into our hearts and minds, we are changed.

Jesus offers so much – forgiveness, restoration, peace, hope, love, joy – and more!

Jesus stands at the door of our hearts, saying, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” (Revelation 3:20) And your life and outlook will be changed.

All we need to do is R.S.V.P. Susan Pearse, Uniting Church www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

The proposed works on site will involve the upgrade of existing technology upon the facility including and not limited to the replacement and installation of new antennas, radiocommunication dishes and associated ancillary equipment to enhance transmitting technology. Furthermore the works will involve the replacement and addition of equipment shelters/outdoor units adjacent to the facility. nbn regards the proposed installations as a Low Impact Facility under the Telecommunications (Low-Impact Facilities) Determination 2018. In these circumstances, it does not require planning approval from Council.

Further information on this specific proposal can be obtained by calling Tim Beck on 07 3173 9129.

Written submissions can be sent to Locked Bag 331, Brisbane Qld 4001 or via email to timothy.beck@aurecongroup.com The closing date for submissions is 25-08-2021 For general info on the nbn, email info@nbn.com.au, or visit our website at www.nbnco.com.au.

Doors keep swinging T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he stop-start nature of Wimmera sport will continue this weekend with competition officials quickly adapting schedules in response to a release of lockdown rules.

Community sport such as football, netball and hockey can resume after being out of action last weekend but tight restrictions, which ban spectators at venues, remain.

Officials expected to have further updates on rules later this week.

AFL Wimmera Mallee region manager Jason Muldoon said officials would keep close check for any restriction changes.

“We’re basically back to the protocols we had before we went into lockdown,” he said.

Wimmera Football Netball League officials confirmed early that their competition would resume this Saturday, while Horsham District Football Netball League leaders had expectations their clubs would follow suit after discussions tonight.

Wimmera Hockey Association also confirmed that its clubs would play a full round of matches at Davis Park in Nhill this weekend.

Wimmera Football Netball League chair Pauline Butler said the league would present games scheduled as round 16 on Saturday, cancel a round-17 fixture and play round-18 games the following week.

She said the league had made one change this week, with a clash between Warrack Eagles and Horsham Saints swapping from Coughlin Park in Horsham to Warracknabeal’s Anzac Park.

“The reason we decided to play round-16 games was to protect the integrity of the season. It means that every club plays each other once,” she said.

Wimmera Football Netball League chair Pauline Butler

In other games this weekend MinyipMurtoa will play Horsham at Murtoa, Southern Mallee Giants meet Dimboola at Beulah and Ararat plays Nhill in Ararat, while Stawell has a bye.

Horsham District league has already played enough games to ‘qualify’ its season for finals, which means every team has played each other once, but has a standard position of ‘playing when it can’.

Chairman Fred Mellington said his initial thoughts, based on a lockdown originally set to continue until at least tomorrow, had been that the league might abandon the round.

But the early release from lockdown had changed the weekend outlook.

“It’s an awkward one. To be 100 percent honest I didn’t expect we would have the option because teams wouldn’t have been able to train Tuesday or Thursday,” he said.

“It shocked me that we came out of lockdown but now everyone’s been able to train and prepare, it changes circumstances.”

Finals fixtures for both football and netball leagues remain on schedule.

Wimmera hockey players will resume a full round of games this weekend.

Competition spokesman Simon King said the association decided earlier this year, after the first lockdown forced officials to postpone and reschedule games, that it would abandon all subsequent missed rounds.

“So every game from now on becomes more important for those on the fringe of the top four if they are to claim a place in the finals,” he said.

In open competition, Horsham Hurricanes play Dimboola Burras, Nhill Rangers play undefeated Yanac Tigers and Kaniva Cobras play Warrack Hoops.

Women’s competition features matches between Horsham Jets and Dimboola Roos and Nhill Thunderbirds and Yanac.

Other sporting organisations across the region were also exploring the best way to respond to changing rules and conditions.

Ouyen pigeon racing complete Horsham Racing Pigeon Club had the last of its three pigeon races from Ouyen on Saturday, with birds flying in mild westerly to southwesterly conditions.

Despite the positive conditions, leading pigeons into Horsham were more than 40 minutes slower than the two earlier Ouyen races.

It was Horsham’s turn to prevail over the two Murtoa lofts that enjoyed success the previous week.

The club released 262 pigeons in section one of the race and 415 in section two, after authorities granted pigeon racing into Horsham to continue.

However, with COVID-19 out-breaks continuing in NSW, club members are now considering altering a race

Lockdown grants for sporting clubs Wimmera-Mallee sporting and recreation clubs forced to cancel or postpone events due to recent COVID-19 lockdowns can apply for cash grants to defray costs.

Community Sport Minister Ros Spence announced the application deadline for the State Government’s Sporting Club Grants Program had been extended to August 27.

The current round of the program provides $2000 grants for eligible clubs and community organisations affected by the July lockdown or most recent lockdown, which finished at 11.59pm on Monday.

The grants are available to Victorian sport and active recreation organisations

for irrecoverable costs due to cancelled events, including cancellation fees for facilities and payments to coaches and officials, as well as the loss of perishable goods and booking fees.

“This is a vital lifeline for our sports clubs hit hardest by the effects of the latest restrictions, that’s why we’re getting on with extending this support,” Ms Spence said.

“I encourage clubs left out of pocket to take advantage of this initiative, which is supporting clubs through these difficult times and will help when sports can safely resume.”

Ms Spence said to date, the Labor government had provided more than 230 sporting club grants under the program’s events support category to Victorian clubs affected by lockdowns this year.

She said the Sporting Club Grants Program was part of the government’s commitment to making sport more accessible and inclusive, stimulate local economies, build sustainable sport and recreation and volunteer opportunities and increase local participation.

People can visit sport.vic.gov.au/grantsand-funding for more information about the program or to apply.

program in light of border closures.

Strong start

BY DAVID BERRY

T

he highlight of round one of Volleyball Horsham’s winter season was the strong performances of players who were returning to the sport.

While he couldn’t quite get his team over the line, Andrew Trigg fitted in perfectly to his Hellenic Phantoms team in A Grade.

“It’s been a while, but the standard of competition is unreal. It’s so good to be back playing again, especially with good mates,” Trigg said.

Heidelberg welcomed up-and-coming Caleb Smith into its team, after the middle blocker missed most of last season with a serious ankle injury. And the youngster didn’t disappoint.

Association number-one setter Nathan Berry said Smith’s work in attack was good.

“He did get some strong block touches as well. I’m looking forward to setting to him,” he said.

Youngsters Jack Snowden and Rowan Sanders also made solid A Grade debuts. The two have been training well in the build-up to the season and did not look out of place.

In A Reserve competition, Blair Avery made a triumphant return, single-handedly destroying Heidelberg Masters.

The new father pounded the Heidelberg defences into submission with his power hitting and strong serving, enabling his Von Steiger Shadows team to get off to a winning start.

Scott Robinson, in his first game in this competition, showed he will improve, while

Otto Maroske, also returning from a serious ankle injury, showed good touch.

In B Grade, Heidelberg Masters showed they will be one of the teams to beat with a strong four-set win over Von Steiger Teachers.

In his first game for almost 20 years, Mark McPhee showed he had not lost any of his skills, hitting and passing consistently.

Also stepping up into this grade was Tim O’Donnell. In his first game after a serious knee injury, O’Donnell displayed good skill on serve and clever play at the net, in a positive return.

O’Donnell and McPhee were ably supported by former Horsham College National Schools Cup silver medalist Ash Voigt.

Voigt played her first game for four years and showed she had not lost any of her consistent passing skills.

Players across all grades were channeling their ‘inner Olympics’, commenting on the progress of beach volleyball pair Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar.

The increase in participation, especially at the junior level, could be directly attributed to the coverage given to the sport with plenty of children seeing the sport for the first time and wanting to give it a go.

“We’re lucky the Olympics came at the right time for us, with our season just starting so we could accommodate the spike in interest,” association committee member Tamikah Dockrill said.

“What the beach-volleyball girls were able to do for the sport can’t be underestimated.”

AIR TIME: Natimuk’s Amber Schellens won silver in a gymnastics-based photography competition designed to keep young gymnasts engaged in the sport during the Tokyo Olympics.

Amber claimed second place in a leap-jump challenge category by equipment and apparel supplier Gymnastics Direct. Amber’s father took her award-winning entry photo during a visit to Warrnambool. Amber said to add to the effect, she wanted to ensure there were no footprints in the sand. “I ran through the water and up on the bank while the water was in, waited for the waves to go out and did the jump,” she said. “Also we didn’t let my sisters walk up that way until we had the photo.” Amber’s sisters Dusty and Beatrix have also participated in the challenge.

Grand final on hold for Caris, Clarke Two Wimmera footballers will have to wait a little longer to contest the VFLW grand final after Sunday’s fixture was postponed due to a COVID-19 lockdown.

Horsham’s Rene Caris and former Ararat Storm player Georgia Clarke were set to feature in Geelong Cats’ showdown with Collingwood, before the decider was put on hold.

AFL leaders have announced the organisation remains ‘fiercely

committed’ to staging the VFLW grand final as soon as COVID-19 restrictions allow.

Undefeated reigning premier Collingwood has not played since defeating Essendon in a secondsemi final win on July 4, while the Cats last took to the park in a preliminary final win over the Bombers on July 31.

Clarke booted three goals and was named among her side’s best players in the victory.

The preliminary final was also on hold for three weeks during the state’s fifth COVID-19 lockdown.

The VFL and VFLW are classified as community sports, which are not permitted under lockdown regulations.

Clarke and Caris have both committed to the Cats for the 2022 season.

Multi-media vote counts in 2021

W

immera and Horsham District football and netball leagues are set to enter a new world of multi-media presentation for their annual best-and-fairest counts.

ACE Radio has gone into partnership with both competitions to present senior vote counts from its 1089 3WM Horsham studio.

Live online streams via 3WM’s YouTube channel will include round-by-round counts as well as interviews with officials and guests.

Shirtfront and Local Footy Live presenters Grant Kuchel and Brian ‘Cobba’ Cassidy will join Horsham content director Adam Roche for the presentation.

Horsham District’s senior Dellar Medal football and A Grade netball counts from 7pm on September 6 will include both a live radio broadcast on 3WM as well as online streaming.

Wimmera league’s Toohey Medal football and Hatcher Medal netball counts the following Friday, on September 10, will be limited to an online stream because of AFL finals radio commitments.

The presentation is in response to uncertainty about community gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Roche said the situation had opened an opportunity to explore something new in the region.

“This is quite exciting. Given the hurdles we’re experiencing at the moment, particularly with limitations on crowds in venues, it’s encouraging

us to delve into alternative styles of broadcasting,” he said.

“We traditionally broadcast live vote counts from venues, but on this occasion it is coming out of the studios to be on people’s video screens as well as across the airwaves. We’ll be using Zoom and Powerpoint for presentations and having interviews, so it’s going to be very different.

“Much of what is happening is based on timing. We were keen to also broadcast the Wimmera counts on radio as well, but we’re committed to covering AFL. “We will have further details about how people can join the fun and excitement in the next couple of weeks.”

The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM work closely with both leagues.

Horsham general manager Brendan O’Loughlin said the station was happy to work with the leagues.

“We were keen through partnerships to be able to find a way to still deliver such momentous occasions, but in a COVID-safe environment,” he said.

“We’re really looking forward to seeing how it goes.”

Where there’s a will...

Sports enthusiasts have needed to find alternative ways to keep fit amid spasmodic opportunities to train and play during the COVID-19 pandemic. For Minyip-Murtoa footballer Lachie Johns, 23, there is little problem finding space to run and keep his eye in at the family farm at Dooen. Pictured with training companion ‘Fleet’, Johns is part of a Burras team shaping as favourite to win Wimmera league’s 2021 premiership. “It’s a funny feeling playing without crowds but it is what it is and at least we get to play a game,” he said. Hopefully we can keep the ball rolling for the rest of the season and all the teams can find a few last legs to get through. It does get frustrating, but we have stuck to what we know, come out on the day and been able to perform to the best of our ability. You can get lazy and when you have weeks off and you try to come back and play – that’s when injuries can happen. Even if it’s little things, you try to do as much as you can and look after yourself. I have plenty of wide-open areas out here and there’s always a bit of different scenery somewhere.” Sport back in action this weekend, see page 41.
