‘Open Eyes, Open Hearts’ H

BY DYLAN DE JONG

orsham’s Luna Aisbett was dealt a cruel hand when a congenital eye condition rendered her legally blind at just nine months of age.

The road to recovery is long and requires surgeries, specialist care, trips to Melbourne and 24-7 supervision. But despite her condition, little Luna is a fighter. Her mother, Rosie Ann Dean, has been by her daughter’s side every step of the way, from Luna’s diagnosis of bilateral congenital cataracts through to treatment and navigating support services, or a lack thereof. Ms Dean, along with juggling Luna’s care and being a mother of four, has decided to start a fundraiser to give back to an organisation close to her family’s heart. Money raised from her ‘Open Eyes, Open Hearts’ fundraiser will go to Vision Australia, the leading national provider of blindness and low-vision services. The not-for-profit organisation is a major participant and partner in the blindness community. Less than a month after launching her fundraiser, more than 20 Wimmera businesses had donated raffle items to Ms Dean and her family. “We want to spread awareness and give back. Vision Australia does so much for the blind, the vision impaired and Guide Dogs Australia,” she said. Ms Dean said more than 20 prizes, such as a gift voucher for a professional photography shoot, gym membership and tattoo gift vouchers would be drawn in early March.

Long road

After being diagnosed in February last year, Luna underwent a lensectomy to remove her cataracts at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital in September. Ms Dean said with her cataracts removed, Luna, now 15 months old, could not focus on anything, was severely long-sighted and had to wear contact lenses. She said the eye condition was also likely to hinder Luna’s learning in a crucial stage of her development. “It has affected the growth of most of her fine motor skills and socially as well,” she said. She said she expected Luna would have to wait several years before undergoing her next major surgery, which might restore some of her vision. “We will have to live with this until she’s about five before she can get artificial lenses put in,” she said. “We have to wait until she’s bigger because her eyes will keep growing. If we were to do it now, we’d have to do multiple surgeries taking them in and out and getting new ones. “And even with the artificial lenses she’ll still have to wear bifocal sunglasses on top of that.” In addition to the surgeries, Ms Dean has had to

undergo training to learn procedures required to care for Luna. She said it was uncommon for her or her partner Damon Aisbett to leave Luna’s side because she needed constant supervision. “I’ve got to be by her side 24-7 – she just doesn’t have that depth perception, so I have to be with her all the time,” she said. “And it is impossible to take her to childcare with the assistance she needs as no one is trained to care for her.” Ms Dean is also required to drive to Melbourne on a regular basis to take Luna to her doctor’s appointments. She also applied for a carer support payment, however, her application was rejected. “Trying to find the support was a bit of an eye opener to see how little there is out there from Services Australia,” she said. “I’ve been knocked back for a carers allowance or any help from them. I’m just meant to go out and work, but I can’t because I’m Luna’s eyes. “According to Services Australia and Centrelink she’s just like any other baby and doesn’t need any extra care even though she is legally blind. “That’s why I got onto Vision Australia – it’s been a personal relationship where I can call and they point me in the right direction.”

Facing the unknown

Ms Dean said although every day was a major challenge, she found hope with support from her friends, family and the Horsham community. “I was scared and worried. It was hard to wrap my head around the diagnosis. I just thought, how I am going to do this?” she said. “We weren’t aware of how much the eye can impact the development of our baby – it’s been daunting, we’re facing the unknown. My boys Jack, Alex and Beau have been really good – they’ve been super caring and really helpful. “I don’t get that break, so the older boys have been helping out, they watch her if I need to pop out and do the laundry or small tasks. They’ve been really supportive and even researched things themselves about how to help her.” Ms Dean said the fundraiser would allow her and her family to give back to Vision Australia. She said she would be at markets across the district throughout February to sell raffle tickets in person. Tickets can also be purchased online. Prizes for the ‘mega raffle’ are only redeemable in the participating Wimmera businesses. People can search www.facebook.com/Open-EyesOpen-Hearts-100679575327342/ for information.

HOPE FOR LUNA: Before she could learn how to walk, Luna Aisbett had endured surgery to prevent an eye condition rendering her legally blind. The little battler, 15 months, will have to wait until she is five before she can undergo another surgery for a chance to restore her vision. Her mother, Rosie Ann Dean, has started a major fundraiser to thank Vision Australia and the Horsham community for their support. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

PUBLIC NOTICES 13 January 2021

Celebrating Australia Day in 2021 Residents are being encouraged to celebrate Australia Day virtually this year with Horsham Rural City Council’s livestream on 26 January.

Meanwhile ceremonies at Dadswells Bridge, Brimpaen and Natimuk will go ahead as COVID-safe outdoor gatherings. Chief Executive Officer Sunil Bhalla said Council understood that many people were disappointed that they could not attend in person.

While ongoing COVID-19 restrictions have prevented the traditional Sawyer Park ceremony from occurring, Australia Day Committee members have reimagined the event to ensure everyone still has the opportunity to celebrate.

"The uncertainty around planning the event with COVID-19 was the key reason a decision was made before Christmas to hold the event virtually," Mr Bhalla said.

A formal Australia Day ceremony, including the presentation of Citizen, Youth Citizen and Community Event of the Year Awards, will be livestreamed via the HRCC website and Facebook from 9am.

Welcome to 2021!

I, along with the other Councillors, are finding our feet and learning about our role and responsibilities within the community. One thing we all have in common is understanding the obligations and requirements of the new Local Government Act 2020. One requirement of the new Local Government Act is to develop a new Community Engagement Policy. This policy is not something glamourous, but it is a really important document for how Council

"It is also an opportunity to do things a little differently this year in Horsham, noting that there are also Australia Day events planned for Dadswells Bridge, Brimpaen and Natimuk," he said. Mayor Robyn Gulline said Australia Day 2021 would provide an important opportunity for our community to reflect on the challenges of the past year, respect the sacrifices and contributions of those who responded in a time of need and celebrate being together and what is means to be an Australian. “2020 was a challenging year for us all, but it also highlighted the power of our community’s spirit.

This can be done by accessing the Horsham Rural City Council website or by contacting the Council Office. Feedback needs to be received by Friday 22 January 2021. We, as a regional city, have grown over the years and we will continue to grow. Another obligation of the new Local Government Act is the requirement to create a Community Vision for the infrastructure and facilities that we, as a community, want our municipality to have and shape what our Regional City may look like over the next 20 years. This is about the big picture, a future vision or should I say “blue sky” thinking! I know it is hard to think about the future

Wotjobaluk Elder Jennifer Beer, a descendant of Yanggendyinanyuk, will act as cultural advisor on the project. Owner of the silo and flour mill, the Plazzer family, has been a generous contributor and is a project collaborator along with Barengi Gadjin Land Council (BGLC). Council successfully applied for a grant of $99,000 from the Victorian Government’s Creative Activations Fund, a partnership between Creative Victoria and Regional Development Victoria. HRCC will also contribute money from the 2020-21 Budget’s COVID-19 Community Support package and the Plazzer family will also make funding contributions.

New-look fishing format BY SARAH MATTHEWS

rganisers of Horsham’s longrunning Labour Day weekend fishing competition are working on a new-look format for the popular event, which will go ahead in 2021 despite uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2020 The Weekly Advertiser Horsham Fishing Competition was one of the last major community events celebrated in the region before governments introduced bans, lockdowns and other measures to help curb the pandemic’s spread. Incoming competition president Ray Howard said the organising committee was in the process of establishing guidelines for the 2021 event on March 7. He paid tribute to the event’s supporters, who gave committee members the drive and energy to bring this year’s event to fruition despite many obstacles. “The fishing competition is a very important event for Horsham, bringing in thousands of dollars each year,” he said. “It is always a fantastic weekend and something the whole family can participate in. “We won’t be able to have the tiddlers section this year, just juniors and seniors, but it’s still something the whole family can do. “We will be having the same camping and fishing areas and there is always a great atmosphere.” Mr Howard encouraged Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians residents to consider signing up for this year’s 44th annual contest, particularly given restrictions on interstate and international travel. “It’s a great day out and it’s close to home,” he said. “We are in the process of putting together all the details to make sure we comply with restrictions and are offering a COVID-safe environment. “There will be several changes to make it COVID-safe and also manageable for our small committee of volunteers. “Considering a lot of other events won’t be going ahead – such as the Wimmera Machinery Field Days – people might be keen to get out and about and we encourage them to consider a day of fishing by the Wimmera River.”

Numbers capped

Last year’s competition attracted more than 1300 entrants, but this year’s event will be capped at 1000 in line with COVID restrictions.

HOOKED ON CONTEST: Prue Beltz and Kevin Dellar are excited the 2021 The Weekly Advertiser Horsham Fishing Competition will go ahead. Mr Dellar said he had been involved in the popular contest, now in its 44th year, since ‘day one’. He said the Labour Day event offered people a great opportunity for a social day out. “We’ve been in sufferance because of coronavirus and I think people are looking for something like this,” he said. Mr Dellar said organisers were finalising new regulations to ensure a COVID-safe event. “Anglers are given a 2.5-metre section of river anyway, so we’re already compliant in that aspect. But we will certainly be doing everything we need to do,” he said. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Registrations will only be sold online, although entries will be accepted in person on the day if spots are still available. Mr Howard said the competition would be reformatted and there would not be a stake pick-up. Fishing will start half an hour earlier, at 7am, to allow for pre-dawn catches and fish will be registered according to length rather than weight.

Prizes

Mr Howard said there would also be major changes to the prize list, based on fewer registrations and many regional businesses still struggling on the back of two lockdown periods. “We’re making a lot of changes to make sure we can still run the competition, but we are having to downgrade our prizes this year just in case we can’t go ahead,” he said. “We usually outlay a lot of money on prizes ahead of the event and we can’t afford to do that this year.

“Unfortunately, we won’t be giving away a car, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have some great prizes. “Prizes this year will be more of a draw, like a lot of other competitions are doing. All entries will be eligible for 50 percent of the prize draws, whereas those who catch a fish will be eligible for all of the prize draws. “A lot of people have been coming to our competition for years without catching a fish. “This year, people can still win a prize even if they don’t catch a fish. “The major prize – which we will announce in the week leading up to the competition – will be a draw of all entrants. I think that will be a huge drawcard.”

Seeking sponsors

Mr Howard said there would be prizes for the longest fish of each type – yellowbelly, redfin, silver perch and catfish – in junior and senior divisions. “We are still in the process of work-

ing through our sponsorship details and are currently seeking sponsors, if anyone is keen to get on board and support the event,” he said. ACE Radio general manager Brendan O’Loughlin said the organisation was proud to continue its long-running sponsorship of the event under The Weekly Advertiser banner. “As an ongoing major sponsor, we are grateful to the committee for doing this on behalf of the community and helping ensure Horsham gets back into the events style of life,” he said. “We encourage everyone in the community to support this great local event and take the opportunity to invite their friends along to see what the region has to offer.” Mr Howard encouraged people to visit website horshamfishingcomp. com.au, follow ‘Horsham Fishing Competition Inc.’ on Facebook or read The Weekly Advertiser for updated information.

Project money Two Wimmera organisations will benefit from a State Government multi-million-dollar infrastructure spend to strengthen multicultural connections. Horsham Islamic Welfare Association and Wheatland District Church at Warracknabeal are recipients of money to upgrade facilities. Horsham Islamic Welfare Association, which provides religious services across the Wimmera from its mosque in Horsham, will use $75,876 to upgrade a kitchen, wash area, storage space and exterior concreting. Wheatland District Church will have $30,000 to upgrade an ageing kitchen to meet pressing community demand. Multicultural Affairs Minister Ros Spence announced more than 60 buildings and facilities would be built, upgraded or repaired under a $21-million investment as part of the 2020-21 State Budget. She said ensuring multicultural communities could celebrate, preserve and share their traditions and promote social cohesion was a government priority. “This year has proven that, more than ever, community and cultural connections are vital. This investment in clubs, halls and community centres serves a dual purpose in enriching our diversity while also creating jobs,” she said. Applications for the next round of community infrastructure funding have opened with grants of up to $500,000 available per project for maintenance, upgrades or renovations. Applications close at 3pm on February 15. People can find out more and apply by visiting website vic.gov. au/multicultural-communityinfrastructure-fund.

Witness appeal Northern Grampians Crime Investigation Unit is appealing for public assistance following a burglary in Ararat on Thursday last week. Investigators believe offenders attended a McLellan Street residential address between midnight and 8.30am on January 7. The offenders stole a wallet, power tools and electrical items. Detectives have appealed for anyone who witnessed suspicious activity or who might have driven past at the time and have dashcam footage to come forward. Police have urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crime stoppersvic.com.au

Traction building for The Overland A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

‘long-awaited’ return of passenger-rail service The Overland has created a sense of hope for an advocacy group formed to save the asset.

The future of the 133-year-old train service running between Melbourne and Adelaide has been subject to uncertainty in past years. A question mark still remains about its permanency. Friends of The Overland, which formed in July last year to help promote the service, believes growing interest in the train would result in securing a lifeline for the service. Group member and former Horsham mayor Mark Radford, who was one of

the first passengers to use the service when it returned earlier this month, said it was critical rail-travel options improved for Wimmera residents. Mr Radford said Horsham Rural City Council made it a priority to ensure services would improve. He said another key priority would be extending a sprinter service from Melbourne to Ararat out to Horsham. “From a council point of view, even though I’m not a councillor anymore, I can say council’s priority is still to advocate for regional and rural rail services,” he said. “The council’s commitment is for a regular train service from Horsham to Ararat through to Melbourne.” Service provider Journey Beyond amended the timetable for the two-

day-a-week service this month. The service runs to Melbourne on Sundays and Thursdays and to Adelaide on Fridays and Mondays. Mr Radford said he hoped the change would mean Wimmera residents could visit Melbourne and Adelaide at more ideal times to access medical appointments and for leisure. “I think it has changed in favour of Victoria, from a Horsham point of view,” he said. “Now if you want to go to Adelaide for the weekend you can catch the train on Friday afternoon and be back on Sunday afternoon. “That creates opportunities to go to the footy or any other reason you might want to go to Adelaide for the weekend.

“But also, when travelling the other way, if you want to go to Melbourne for medical appointments, you will be able to do that during the week.” Despite the changes to the service, Mr Radford stressed there was still major potential for improved services. The Victorian State Government last year committed to financially support The Overland service for three years. The South Australian government pulled out of its joint funding agreement with Victoria in late 2018. Mr Radford said it would be ‘vital’ for the Friends of The Overland group to continue promoting the service to ensure its survival after the three-year period was over. “We want to improve the numbers

of people using it and that itself will drive other changes,” he said. “If more people use the train then the question from the businesses pointof-view will be, ‘How we can offer other things?’, such as a more frequent service. “Journey Beyond is keen to listen to what our group says. They’re interested to hear from people about how we can promote the service.” Mr Radford invited people who had used the service to encourage others to consider it as a travel option. “The fundamental part is word of mouth – people jumping on the train, enjoying the experience and telling someone about that experience,” he said.

Organisers ready to run Parkrun will return to the picturesque Wimmera River course on Saturday following a 10-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organiser Andrew Sostheim said there was plenty of excitement surrounding the re-establishment of the popular five-kilometre timed event in Horsham. “Our last one was in March before the lockdowns started. At that stage we were averaging 150 people a week – people had made parkrun part of their regular routine,” he said. “Victoria is the last state in Australia to reinstate parkruns. We’ve waited a little longer than everyone else to get back into it and we are excited to open the event up again on Saturday. “We’ve also had a lot of support after putting out a call for volunteers for the first few weeks while we get up and going again.” Mr Sostheim said organisers would present the event in line with protocols determined by the State Government and parkrun headquarters. “Participants will need to check in via a QR code before they come and we will also have physical-distancing guidelines in place to make sure we can keep everybody safe,” he said. Wimmera River parkrun is at Sawyer Park on Saturdays at 8am.

Parkruns are free, weekly, community events throughout the world designed to offer a positive and inclusive experience. There is no time limit and nobody finishes last, thanks to a volunteer ‘tail walker’. Some Wimmera residents and visitors might use the Horsham event to advance their new-year fitness goals, while others might prefer the social aspect of a morning walk or run alongside family or friends. Regardless of their motivation, Mr Sostheim said everyone was welcome. “Parkrun is for people of all ability – they can run, walk, jog, ride in a pram – it is open to everyone,” he said. Mr Sostheim said participants needed to register once online at parkrun.com.au. “They will get a barcode to print out and bring down to the event,” he said. Parkrun participants can join in more than 400 events throughout Australia. People can visit the website for a list of locations or more information about parkrun. People also can follow ‘Wimmera River parkrun, Horsham’ on Facebook for updates. – Sarah Matthews

West Wimmera Shire councillors have put a plan in place to financially support Kaniva-Leeor United Football Club. The club owed the council $160,000 for a Kaniva Community Hub project. Councillors acknowledged the football club was ‘severely’ impacted in its ability to repay the debt because of COVID-19 restrictions, which prevented the club’s fundraising activities. Councillor Tim Meyer moved a motion that all money owed to West Wimmera Shire Council in payments for the 2020 and 2021 calendar year be written off. He said no further interest should be charged on the remaining debt for the balance of the loan. Mayor Bruce Meyer and councillors Tim Meyer and Tom Houlihan carried the motion, while councillors Jodie Pretlove and Trevor Domaschenz voted against the motion.

Cr Meyer said the decision would assist the club to pay the debt. “2020 has been tough enough for everyone living through the coronavirus lockdown and restrictions,” he said. “We believe council’s decision to write off the debt for two years and remove interest charges will help the football club and the Kaniva community recover a little without saddling them with a debt they cannot pay back immediately. “We hope to see easier times ahead and a resumption of some of the fun and social fundraising we, as a community, know and love.” Cr Domaschenz made a further motion to have the hub project financial aid offset by rent received from Kaniva Racecourse Reserve. All councillors were in favour except for Cr Houlihan, who abstained from the vote.

Horsham Rural City Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said Australia Day committee members had ‘reimagined’ the event due to uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. He said the committee decided before Christmas to host the Horsham event virtually. “As things currently stand with two weeks to go, we could have conceivably had an outdoor event with COVID-safe restrictions in place. But that is with the benefit of hindsight,” he said. “The virtual Australia Day event will be streamed live to our community and include many elements of our traditional event such as Australia Day Awards and citizenship ceremony. “It is also an opportunity to do things a little differently this year in Horsham, noting there are also Australia Day events planned for Dadswells Bridge, Brimpaen and Natimuk.” Ceremonies at Dadswells Bridge, Brimpaen and Natimuk will go ahead as ‘COVID-safe outdoor gatherings’. The council will livestream a formal Australia Day ceremony, including the presentation of citizen, youth citizen and community event of the year awards, via the HRCC website and Facebook page from 9am. Mayor Robyn Gulline said Australia Day 2021 would provide an important opportunity for the community to reflect on the challenges of the past year, respect the sacrifices and contributions of those who responded in a time of need and celebrate being together and what it meant to be an Australian.

Cr Robyn Gulline “2020 was a challenging year for us all, but it also highlighted the power of our community’s spirit,” she said. “We want to recognise those who really went above and beyond last year, and will be livestreaming the ceremony to involve as many people as possible. “This Australia Day, our message is to reflect, respect and celebrate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Health service stand

SIR, – An announcement concerning the possible merger or partnership between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services is of great concern to the people of Horsham and wider Wimmera. I hasten to say that I have not been a party to any discussions that have been taking place in exploring this possibility – which experience tells me might not be good for Wimmera Health Care Group, Horsham Rural City or wider Wimmera community. A regional city such as Horsham needs and must have its own health service and hospital fully supported by state governments. Surrounding rural areas with their own smaller hospitals rely to some extent on Wimmera Health Care Group for services over and beyond what they have themselves. To hand our health care to another service some 185 kilometres away is to lose our autonomy and be liable for potential losses when finances cannot be stretched to cover the needs of both campuses. Western Victoria needs the best possible health service in Horsham and not be reliant on Ballarat, close enough to Melbourne to exclude it as a genuine western Victorian city, but more a central Victorian regional centre. With the proximity of Ballarat to Melbourne and the rapid growth of population in Ballarat, demands on Ballarat’s health service are going to increase and the costs of servicing an increasing number of patients will require greater and greater funding. Horsham risks losing funding to larger Ballarat Health Services, which might protect its existing services at the expense of another health service two hours away. Horsham must not allow hard-won local health services to be diminished in any way and every effort must be made to retain Wimmera Health Care Group as a fully autonomous regional Wimmera service. Bill Ower Horsham

Community policy

SIR, – The Victorian government has enforced all local governments to establish

a ‘community engagement policy’, which I strongly suggest that all members of the Horsham Rural City Council community respond to. Unfortunately I only noticed the existence of this policy on the council’s website late last year and the closing time for response is January 23 – so much for community engagement. The Horsham community is fully aware of how the council has been engaging with the community in recent times, stemming with the Horsham Town Hall siting, the siting of the new sports stadium and more recently the city to river plan, all of which the council has totally ignored the community wishes. The level of community trust in the council is at an all time low. On the council website you will see the draft ‘Community Engagement Policy’ which uses all wishy washy speak about community engagement, however makes no mention about taking notice of what the community is saying. You will see how the policy speaks of ‘hear comments and be able to implement recommendations from the community on our plans, strategies and operations’ – our plans, not your wishes. I strongly suggest that you all spend some time now and have your say on how HRCC should implement the community wishes on council projects. Robin L Barber Horsham

Common sense not common

SIR, – With 2020 behind us, and 2021 underway, I am disheartened by the number of people NOT wearing masks in public. Common sense is not common, and too many people are irresponsible. COVID and other diseases don’t use calendars. Since Christmas I have had to ask and stand my ground with people about social distancing in shops. Hand sanitiser is disappearing from public venues. Outbreaks in NSW and cases in Victoria are further proof that people need education about disease control. Think of masks and gloves as non-sexual

Hopper Electrics

condoms, keeping you and your family out of hospital. Children should be kept at home, and wear masks in public. I know people who have travelled for Christmas and returned home with headaches, fevers, snotty noses, sore throats, you know all those symptoms we were told to report, and these people are NOT being tested. If you travelled, please, get tested. Bernard Quince Ararat

Shoebox thanks

SIR, – On behalf of Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Christmas Child, I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to the many churches, schools, organisations and numerous individuals who were involved this year in packing a shoebox for a child in need. Each child is special and they will receive only one shoebox of gifts once in their life. This gift will bring immediate joy and hope to the child and may open up opportunities they had never dreamed of. Samaritan’s Purse can then assess the needs of the community such as safe, clean water, education, health and community empowerment projects and implement programs where possible. We had a very different year this year, but even so the generosity of so many people was phenomenal. I sent 1836 shoeboxes from our region to Melbourne, which are now being processed up in Sydney. These boxes will be going to Cambodia, Fiji, Malawi or Madagascar. In total Victoria collected around 20,000 shoeboxes. All of our team would like to give a huge thank you to each person who took the time to become involved either by packing a shoebox or donating goods or money. Thank you also to the many people who made beautiful handmade items for the boxes. We look forward to working with you all again next year. Remember, you can collect items all year round.

BRIGADES BOOST: Pictured at a cheque handover to Westmere Fire Brigades Group are, from left, Country Fire Authority chief officer Jason Heffernan, Willaura-Lake Bolac Community Bank manager Jack Oswald, bank chairman Rowly Paterson and Westmere group officer Rod Laidlaw.

Data connection W

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

estmere Fire Brigades Group leaders will soon have improved access to realtime weather data to make vital decisions about fire, farming and other operations.

Group officer Rod Laidlaw said the group would use a $2633 donation from Willaura-Lake Bolac Community Bank to connect seven Davis weather stations to an online WeatherLink ‘cloud’. “We already have the weather stations but at the moment, I can read my own, but I can’t read anyone else’s,” he said. “The data loggers are due to be installed at the end of the week, so seven of our weather stations will be live and available for our operators to look at. “Most of our weather comes from the west so we will be able to jump online and get a live reading, rather than having to call people. “We can see all the data on the screen, which will be really useful. We are very grateful to the bank for the donation.” New bank manager Jack Oswald and chairman Rowly Paterson presented the cheque to group leaders during a meet and greet with new Country Fire Authority chief officer Jason Heffernen at Willaura. Mr Paterson said he and Mr Oswald were delighted to donate money towards such a great cause. “The bank has a long history of supporting local endeavours and community organisations and I couldn’t think of anything better than supporting the CFA and the wonderful work it does,” he said. Mr Laidlaw, who farms at Tatyoon and YallaY-Poora, said the weather data would be extremely useful during fires but also when making decisions about machinery operations during harvest. He said farmers in his region were working hard to strip their remaining crops, with many well into their wheat. When he spoke to The Weekly Advertiser on Monday afternoon, the group executive had ordered farmers to cease mechanical operations for several hours, based on fire risk due to weather conditions. “It’s frustrating – those of us making the decisions are all farmers and we want to be out there, getting the crops off,” he said.

“It wasn’t too hot, but the wind was the worst factor.” Mr Laidlaw said crops in the region had been affected by heavy rain at the start of the month, with some properties receiving between 20 and 150 millimetres. He said many farmers also suffered hail damage, downgrading or destroying sections of crops. Along with completing harvest, the region’s farmers have been crossing their fingers for a lack of fire activity, although Mr Laidlaw said they were well-equipped if a fire broke out. He said several of the group’s members brought their private units to the get-together with the new chief officer last week. “We have 19 brigades in the group and cover more than one-million acres, so we have a lot of private units,” he said. “The new chief was really impressed with some of the set-ups.”

Insight

Mr Heffernan, formerly assistant commissioner of the NSW Rural Fire Service, took over the CFA’s top job in November and has spent his first month or so in Victoria visiting brigades across the state. Last week, he visited the CFA’s West Region, meeting with staff at district headquarters in Horsham, Ararat and Wendouree. He also visited a new station site at Dimboola and met with captains, group officers and other volunteers from brigades including Warracknabeal, Stawell, St Arnaud, Beaufort and Willaura. Mr Laidlaw said about 40 CFA members from Ararat and Westmere group brigades attended the Willaura event. “It was very casual but it gave us an opportunity to meet the new chief officer, answer questions and gain a bit of insight into what he plans to do in the job,” he said. “It was a breath of fresh air. We’re all a bit tired of this reform talk. I’m a bit disappointed with the way it’s all gone so it’s nice to look to the future and what the new chief has planned. “He was a volunteer himself and is big on volunteerism and not interfering in brigade matters. “At the moment, the CFA has a top-down approach, where the little brigades at the bottom all get told what to do, but he wants to introduce a bottom-up approach. If he is able to do what he wants to do, it will be really good.”

Staff primed for testing surge A

Wimmera Health Care Group COVID-19 testing team is preparing for an expected surge of more than 200 returned New South Wales visitors this week.

The health care group’s infection control nurse Kate Summerhayes said the 254 people who tested at the clinic during the New Year’s Day long weekend were now expected to return for their ‘day 11’ follow-up test. “A day 11 test is for anyone who is told to quarantine for 14 days because they have been in a high-risk area or have been in contact with a COVID-19 patient,” she said. “This was the case with the New South Wales visitors who crossed the border while it was still open,” she said. “The day 11 test allows time for a confirmed negative result before they officially come out of quarantine after day 14.” Ms Summerhayes said most of Victoria’s COVID-19 clinics would be planning for likely surges in testing numbers this week. The health group’s COVID clinic co-ordinator Sally Kruger said the clinic was extending its hours in preparation. She said the clinic would open at 8.30am until Friday this week and close at 12.30pm. “We are expecting some hot weather so

hopefully the earlier start will help,” she said. “Anyone who joins our testing line before 12.30pm will be tested that day, but those who come after that time will be asked to return tomorrow. “I would advise people, however, that they could potentially be waiting in line for up to two hours so they should make sure they have their own water with them and have gone to the toilet before they leave home. “People should also make sure they are ‘sun-smart’ because our shaded area leading to the clinic is limited.” Mrs Kruger said people should also consider how they travelled to the clinic. “Parking around the hospital is never easy and with the expected surge, it will be even more difficult,” she said. Media and communications manager Peter Miller said the testing rate was the highest in months last week following travellers returning from New South Wales. He said 79 people were tested for the virus on January 1 and 91 the following day. “This is a lot more than the 10s and 12s we were doing every day in past weeks,” he said.

Fresh cuts a wellbeing boost A free community haircut session in Horsham has provided families with financial and social support to start the new year. Uniting Wimmera CASI community connector Steph Purcell said the organisation was eager to find a way to support people during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The offer was open to anyone in the community who had been affected financially or had their mental health impacted by COVID-19,” she said. Mrs Purcell said the free haircut session was created in response to concerns over rising numbers of people seeking wellbeing support during the pandemic. “We’ve definitely seen a rise in the number of people needing support for homelessness and mental health services,” she said. “Our services have continued to run during the pandemic, but a lot of our staff have been working from home or doing all of their case work and counselling sessions over the phone.” Mrs Purcell said remote learn-

Family support A Horsham supported playgroup team will offer free programs this month to families with preschool aged children. Kalkee Road Children’s and Community Hub supported playgroup team will run the sessions on site each Wednesday from 10am to 11am. Facilitator Sarah Wiesner said the activities were designed to stimulate creative play. “In our pizza session, participants can choose from a variety of toppings to assemble edible pieces of pizza art,” she said. “Our sensory play session is about tactile learning, where kids can get in some messy, ooey, gooey and squishy play time – without parents having to do the cleaning up. “Participants will be encouraged to use their imaginations for the loose parts session as they build and balance, sculpt, sort and stack to create new shapes and structures.” People can book a place by texting 0427 532 856 or emailing supported.playgroup@hrcc. vic.gov.au.

Indigenous story on Horsham silo T

he iconic Lost in the Bush story of reconciliation and resilience is set to become a regional tourism drawcard after Horsham Rural City Council secured funding for the city’s first silo art mural.

The privately owned silo and nearby flour mill near the Horsham railyards will include imagery from the ‘Lost in the Bush’ story of the Cooper-Duff children and Aboriginal tracker Yanggendyinanyuk. Horsham council acting chief executive Graeme Harrison said works at the site were due to start this year, with details about the artists to be released soon. He said the project would support the broader Wimmera Mallee Silo Art Trail experience. “The silo artwork will include night lighting and reference existing tourism assets in and across the Wimmera-southern Mallee region,” he said. “Our city provides the ideal base for day touring, with 6700 vehicles travelling through daily. “The silo art will be a new attraction that entices some of these vehicles to stop and explore not just Horsham but the wider

Air-con for social housing Families in Yarriambiack and Hindmarsh municipalities will benefit from a State Government project to install air-conditioning in social-housing homes. The government’s Social Housing Energy Efficiency Program will support a range of cost-effective energy efficiency upgrades for 35,000 public, community and Aboriginal housing properties. Air-conditioning will be installed in up to 2000 properties across Mildura, Swan Hill, Hindmarsh, Yarriambiack, Buloke, Gannawarra, Campaspe, Moira and Greater Shepparton local government areas, along with draught sealing and ceiling insulation where required. Homes receiving upgrades will be prioritised based on conditions such as the existing state of the home, opportunities for appliance replacement, renter circumstances and susceptibility to temperature extremes.

region. Statistics say more than one third of Horsham’s visitors plan to continue their journeys on the silo art trail and the Horsham silo will provide a glimpse of what is out there in the region and encourage visitors to stay longer and explore.” The artwork will aim to retell and refocus the Lost in the Bush story from the perspective of Yanggendyinanyuk, also known as Dick-a-Dick, an Aboriginal man who in 1864 successfully located the Cooper-Duff children lost in the Wimmera scrub for nine days. Yanggendyinanyuk was also part of Australia’s first international cricket team to tour England. Mr Harrison said the mural would aim to recognise his achievements, tenacity, resilience and skills and act as a sentinel pointing the way to the west Wimmera – where the events occurred – and also back to Harrow, where Yanggendyinanyuk’s story is further documented. Wotjobaluk Elder Jennifer Beer, a descendant of Yanggendyinanyuk, will act as cultural advisor on the project. Mr Harrison said silo and flour

mill owner, the Plazzer family, had ‘generously’ contributed to the project and would be a project collaborator alongside Barengi Gadjin Land Council. Maryanne Plazzer, daughter of Mario and Frances Plazzer, said she was excited to be involved in the project. “The planning has been quite complex, but we are extremely happy to know the structure will stay true to what the Noske Brothers engineered,” she said. “We would like to acknowledge Wotjobaluk Elder Jennifer Beer and her family who have shared the story of their ancestor, Yanggendyunanyuk, and the council who have worked collectively for the community to see this to fruition. “We look forward to seeing the project unfold.” The council successfully applied for a $99,000 grant from the Victorian government’s Creative Activations Fund, a partnership between Creative Victoria and Regional Development Victoria. The council will also contribute money from its 2020-21 budget’s COVID-19 Community Support package, with the Plazzer family also providing funding.

Adventure starts for lucky couple A Warracknabeal couple plans to travel Australia in a caravan in style after winning $150,000 on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket – a prize they initially thought was only $15,000. The couple, who wishes to remain anonymous, bought the winning $10 Jumbo Crosswords ticket at Warracknabeal Newsagency. The winners told an official from The Lott they were still in shock to discover their prize was actually 10 times more than they originally thought. “My husband loves the Crosswords Instant ScratchIts tickets,” the winning woman said. “When he first scratched the ticket, he thought we’d won $500 and we were happy with that. “So we went to the newsagency to check it and the lady there had this huge smile on her face and she said

it was more than $4000, but she couldn’t confirm exactly what it was. “When we went home, we checked again and we realised we had more words than we initially thought. So then we thought we’d won $15,000. “I said to my husband, ‘God, wouldn’t it have been nice to have one more word’. “My husband checked it about 20 times again to be sure and then he looked at me and said, ‘Guess what, we have one more word’. “We got all our family to check it after that and wow – we were so excited, it was completely surreal. “It still hadn’t sunk in though, so until we went into The Lott head office, we didn’t want to get too excited in case we were reading the ticket wrong. “We didn’t have much sleep after that, but now it’s been confirmed, it’s incredible. “It is such good news. Hon-

estly, I am still gobsmacked now.” When asked how the pair intended to enjoy their instant windfall, the elated woman said a sleepless night meant plenty of planning. “All we’ve been doing is making plans for this prize,” she laughed. “We would love to do some travelling around Australia in a caravan – a stylish caravan. “It’s going to be done in style.” Warracknabeal Newsagency owner Sajive Manjuparambil said the team was thrilled for the winning couple. “We are very excited,” he said. “It’s been a while since we sold a major prize, so we couldn’t be happier. It was an incredible moment and we hope they really enjoy their prize. “Hopefully this is the beginning of a winning streak.”

Milestone Harrow celebration

arrow community is celebrating the official opening of a major sporting upgrade to replace facilities once described as ‘some of the worst in the state’.

In April 2018, West Wimmera Shire councillor Tom Houlihan welcomed a $1-million State Government contribution for a much-needed Harrow and District Recreation Reserve redevelopment. He said the funding was the result of 10 years of lobbying to fix ‘the very worse facilities in the Horsham District league’, considered a ‘bloody disgrace – but not for a lack of trying’. Their lobbying paid off, with construction underway in April 2019. Last week, Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria and Sport Danielle Green paid tribute to the community and associated sporting clubs on their ‘outstanding fundraising’ for the project. Ms Green cut the ribbon at the official opening of the $1.35-million ‘Making a Difference’ project, $45,000 of which was raised by the community. “On an individual level, the community has raised an amazing amount of $91 per resident for the project, which underlines how important this building is to them,” she said. “We are very pleased to support this project through the Community Sports Infrastructure Fund 2018-19 and provide Harrow with a modern and practical space for their sports. “Harrow and Balmoral locals are passionate about their sport, and the Harrow and District Recreation Reserve transformation will open up opportunities for the growing numbers of cricket, football, netball and tennis

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria and Sport Danielle Green cuts the ribbon to officially open a major Harrow and District Recreation Reserve redevelopment alongside, from left, interim West Wimmera chief executive Paul Brumby, Harrow Tennis Club president Troy Shrive, HarrowBalmoral Football Netball Club president Tony Phelan and mayor Bruce Meyer. players to emulate their sports heroes like Johnny Mullagh in their own back yard. “Clubs like the Southern Roos and Harrow Tennis Club have been hamstrung by outdated facilities – they deserve appropriate facilities they can be proud of.” A new building overlooking tennis and netball courts comprises homeand-away change rooms, umpire change rooms, an all-abilities office, tea room, office, first-aid room, baby change room and a spacious undercover viewing area. A second building near the football oval boundary provides female-friendly home-and-away change rooms, umpire change rooms, an office and firstaid room. Before the new pavilion was built, netballers were required to walk across

to football change rooms to use the bathroom. West Wimmera mayor Bruce Meyer said the new change rooms were a ‘tremendous drawcard’ for sport and recreation lovers in the region. “We are extremely thankful for the funding from all levels of government and AFL Victoria,” he said. “The community funding is always critical to making these types of projects possible and Harrow and district should be very proud of their achievement. “Cr Tom Houlihan, who is also president of the Harrow and District Recreation Reserve, was instrumental in lobbying and attracting the funding the council received in 2018 to complete the project with the Harrow community.” Cr Meyer said football, netball and

tennis were clearly the lifeblood of the Harrow sporting community. “It is essential to provide them with amenities that are comfortable, well equipped and nearby to their grounds,” he said. “These facilities will be a great area for spectators and team members to view games out of the weather and I am sure it will serve many other purposes for the community for years to come.” The official opening marked the end of the first stage of a three-stage project the community is working to complete. Stage two involves redeveloping current football change rooms into storage and a gym. The community is still sourcing funding for stage three, which includes a resurfacing and lighting upgrade to the netball-tennis courts and a new play space.

SPACi calls for volunteers Stawell Performing Arts Company leaders will host a planning session on Sunday for anyone interested in participating in events in 2021. The session will be at Stawell Golf Club from 10.30am to 12.30pm. President Dianne Stewart said SPACi’s 2020 activities were heavily affected by the coronavirus pandemic and she hoped the group could deliver 2021 events under new COVID-safe guidelines. “We were all starved of community activities in 2020, it would be great to have regular events in 2021 that the community can get involved in,” she said. Stawell Performing Arts Company is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit incorporated association and relies on the commitment of people to build and support a culture of regional performances. “SPACi is calling out to members, current, past and anyone new, to get involved by attending the planning session on Sunday and helping decide what events can be delivered in 2021,” Ms Stewart said. The planning day will be the first in-person event for 2021 and people will also be able to attend online via Zoom. Ms Stewart said anyone who would like to join via Zoom, would like a link to a short online survey or was unable to attend the planning day but would still like to be involved could email spaci@ outlook.com. She said people could also visit Stawell Performing Arts Company’s Facebook page or call her on 0427 850 278 for more information.

Money to explore microgrid options

immera-Mallee communities keen to explore greater electricity security, affordability and reliability through ‘microgrids’ can apply for Federal Government money to help pay for feasibility studies.

The second round of a Regional and Remote Communities Reliability Fund will see successful projects share in up to $25-million in grants. The program is designed to help fund studies that assess whether establishing a microgrid, or upgrading existing offgrid technologies, would better meet electricity-supply needs of regional and remote communities. Member for Mallee Anne Webster said the region needed to consider options that would help lower cost-of-living pressures on families and business-

es in the regions as well as the cities as the country recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. “Microgrids can help reduce electricity bills for regional and remote communities and deliver benefits for the grid as a whole by saving hundreds of millions of dollars in network costs,” she said. “This is an important part of our commitment to creating jobs and driving economic growth in our regions.”

Hotspot

Major renewable-energy companies have identified the Wimmera-Mallee as a hotspot for solar, wind and biomass energy creation. Plans to tap into this potential for the overall electricity grid throughout Victoria and beyond are underway, but microgrids might present an opportunity to use energy where it is harvest-

ed. Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor said feasibility studies were the first step to unlocking microgrid investment and community and overall grid benefits. “Microgrid technology is becoming increasingly cost effective, creating the opportunity for a reliable, low-cost, off-grid supply to our regional communities and industries,” he said. “This funding will enable many communities to realise the potential to harness innovative technologies or distributed energy resources, such as solar and batteries, or reduce their reliance on costly diesel generation.” Round two applications close on January 27. More information is available online at business.gov.au/microgrids.

Guidelines for regional growth Member for Wannon Dan Tehan has welcomed the release of guidelines for round five of a Building Better Regions Fund and encouraged community organisations to apply for financial support. He said this was important after an especially tough year communities had faced with bushfires, drought and the COVID-19 pandemic. “Throughout rural and regional Australia, we have $100-million of targeted support for tourism-

Page

related infrastructure to get regional tourism back on its feet, while maintaining $100-million for broader community infrastructure and investment,” he said. Applications close on March 5 and guidelines are available online at www.business.gov.au/bbrf. The government expects to announce successful applicants in mid 2021.

WINNER: Violet collects her first prize in Ararat Rural City Council’s 2020 LEGO building competition, judged by television series LEGO Masters’ past contestants Tim and Dannii.

Builders awarded for creativity A LEGO building competition in Ararat has provided young people with an opportunity to explore their creativity and win recognition from celebrity block builders. Past LEGO Masters television series contestants ‘Tim and Dannii’ judged entrants using the same criteria used on the show, including aesthetics, storytelling and technical ability. Ararat Rural City Council announced Violet, 8, as its 2020 LEGO building competition. Violet used thousands of LEGO pieces to build herself a ‘dream’ destination, titled ‘Sparkle City Pet Show and Theme Park’, featuring an animal theme park. “I had awesome fun creating Sparkle City,” she said. “The hardest part was connecting the front to the pet walk. I am so happy to have won my first LEGO competition.” Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the unpredictability of the year meant the council needed to do something different to celebrate Christmas. “The challenges of 2020 meant we couldn’t organise the usual events and activities. I was

proud to see the enthusiasm and quality of the builds from the participants, with more than 20 entries received,” he said. A range of prizes were on offer, including vouchers from Ararat businesses as well as special LEGO sets from Tim and Dannii’s personal collection. “We were particularly impressed by the merry-go-round,” the judges said about Violet’s build. “We know the complexity that rotational objects can bring to the build and we loved seeing the creativity behind Violet’s display.” Winners: 1st: Violet, 8, Sparkle City Pet Show and Theme Park; 2nd: Wyatt, 12, Haunted Prison; aesthetics: Owen, 10, Exploring Ancient Ruins; storytelling: Abigail, 11, Race Car Pit Stop; technical ability: Blake, 6; nine and under special mention: Henry, 7, House Cruiser; Henry, 9, City Meets Country; 10 and over special mention: Poppy, 11, Countdown Rocketship and The Jenny Haniver; Jessica, 30, Even Dragon Celebrates Christmas.

PLAYERS WANTED: Long-term croquet player Ian Jackman is appealing for more people to join his beloved Kalimna Park Croquet Club. The Horsham club is in danger of folding unless more people play the game. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Appeal for Kalimna’s future A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Horsham sport club with almost 90 years’ history in the region is on the brink of closure if player numbers remain low.

Participation at Kalimna Park Croquet Club – which started out in a family backyard with just a handful of members – is at a ‘critically low’ level. Club members are concerned the cost of running the club will be too great if player numbers remain low. Association croquet players have declined to just seven people. Long-term player Ian Jackman, who has played with the club for more than 30 years, is one of the remaining club

members. Mr Jackman said the game, which required strategic thinking similar to billiards, has kept him mentally and physically fit. “When you’re 60 and beyond, that’s an ideal time to start because you can’t do the real active sports,” he said. “But it’s a sport that keeps the body pretty fit. “This sport is keeping me alive. You can’t be reading books and working in the workshop every day of the week – it’s great to get out and mix with people.” Mr Jackman said the downward trend in participation was commonplace across the region.

“We just need more people to get involved,” he said. “If we just got half-a-dozen people involved in the Kalimna Park club we’d probably be alright.” Mr Jackman, who has won the club championship three times, said he was willing to teach people how to play the game. “If someone comes here and wants to learn the game, I’m only too willing to show them,” he said. Kalimna Park Croquet Club formed in 1932 with 13 members. The club moved to its present site, off Baillie Street, in 1939. Mr Jackman said when he joined

the club in 1985 there were about 40 players. He said the club would need more members to join to remain financially viable. “The club had good membership, especially for the first 20 years,” he said. “Now we’ve got a problem with keeping up with payments because of numbers. “And without the help from former mayor Heather Phillips – she left the club $24,000 after she passed away – we would be absolutely broke.” People can call Fay Pearson on 0428 373 223 for more information about joining the club.

Sport and community organisations in Ararat municipality will use a round of grant money to help re-engage volunteers and cover the cost of new equipment and transport. Community groups, including Lions Club of Ararat and Lake Bolac and District Bowling Club, are among 201 organisations across the state to share in Volunteering Victoria’s 2020 Supplementary Volunteer Grant – Building Resilient Communities program. Clubs received grants of between $1000 and $5000 to go towards operational costs. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the money recognised the ‘crucial’ role volunteers played within the community. “Volunteering is vital in supporting so many aspects of community life in our rural towns, underpinning our emergency services, community welfare and local sporting clubs,” he said. “This self-sacrifice goes to the heart of what our volunteers do to support others in the community each and every year.” Cr Bob Sanders, also president of the Lions club, said a $4997 grant would enable the club to fit a new catering kitchen with white goods and cupboards to store utensils, cutlery and crockery. “Our new kitchen will assist our members to provide catering in the community for fundraising events – this benefits both our club and our community,” he said. “We thank Volunteering Victoria for their generous grant.”

Markets: The good, the bad and the ugly J

ust as night follows day, it seems part of the regular cycle of the world’s share markets that downturns and falling prices follow good times and rising prices.

The impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic has been typical of such downturns, prompting a 35 percent sell off in world share markets and a dramatic fall in economic activity. For many, it has prompted memories of other equally, and sometimes more devastating, downturns in the world’s share markets. The most famous was ‘Black Thursday’ in 1929, which led to an 80 percent collapse in share prices and sparked the Great Depression, lasting for more than 10 years. What caused it? The wild excesses of the Roaring 20s when consumer confidence was at a record high and the introduction of margin loans, where people could borrow up to 80 percent of the value of shares. This created a classic investment bubble, where optimism overwhelmed caution, and people started buying shares with the mistaken belief they would always increase in value. A drop in agricultural production due to droughts and a fall in economic production caused a sudden reversal in sentiment. A similar situation occurred 60 years later in 1987, where panic sell-

ing on Black Monday wiped about 30 percent from the value of the key US market index, the Dow Jones – its biggest one-day fall. It put an end to the ‘greed is good’ mentality of the 80s and prompted a review of the relatively new, computerised share trading systems. Yet it seems investor’s memories are short. Not long after this, markets got caught up with a new investment bubble prompted by the development and growth of the internet. Companies raced to find their place online and suddenly all internet companies were considered a sure bet. This speculative buying ran out of steam when the ‘Dot Com’ bubble finally burst in 2000, wiping 45 percent off the value of shares. While sharing commonalities with previous crashes, the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 was also in many ways unique. It was the direct result of dodgy lending practices in the US housing market, which created a toxic class of home loans, commonly referred to as sub-prime loans.

Typically, these lenders ignored the individual’s ability to repay the loans and instead focused on the belief property prices would continue to rise and there would always be people prepared to rent these properties. It created a typical investment bubble in the US housing market. Eventually, people found they could not meet their repayments, nor could they sell the properties held as securities, causing enormous problems within the US banking system and the collapse of several international banks. The lesson to be learnt from all these devasting crashes is that while no two were the same, they were all similar in nature. All were created by exaggerated investor beliefs that prices would never fall. Therefore, it is essential to think carefully before investing, ensuring each investment is made with a long-term mindset, and that sudden market corrections do not lead to panic selling. As history has shown, market downturns follow upturns, but as long as the investment is fundamentally sound, it will fully recover any lost value. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

MILESTONE: Long-term St John Ambulance Victoria Horsham district member Craig Zaal has won recognition for continued service to the organisation. Mr Zaal received his third bar to a long service medal, reflecting 25 years of service. Officials presented the award via a live online ceremony. The St John Ambulance Victoria charity helps people in the community undergoing sickness, distress, suffering or danger through support activities and programs such as first-aid.

Virus presentation well received A leading figure in one of the Australian efforts to develop a COVID-19 vaccine spoke about the national response to the pandemic while addressing a West Wimmera Health Service annual meeting. CSIRO Health and Biosecurity Business Unit director Dr Rob Grenfell was guest speaker at the annual meeting, presented via a Zoom online platform. Health service chief executive Ritchie Dodds said Dr Grenfell, who grew up in Horsham and lives at Natimuk, provided an ‘informative and engaging’ presentation on the virus. “It was particularly pleasing to hear Dr Grenfell mention how well state-regulated aged-care facilities, such as ours,

have weathered the COVID-19 storm, due mainly to the skilled and higher number of staff we have compared with most privately run homes,” he said. “He also commended the high-quality infection control people and systems we employ. “We are very grateful to the entire team at WWHS and the way everyone has responded so well to the coronavirus threat.” Health-service board president Anne Rogers also highlighted the accomplishments and the COVID-19 response. Officials also presented the service’s report of operations for the year ending June 30, 2020 to the meeting.

Event steadily growing N

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ext year’s fifth annual Wimmera Friendly 8-Ball Invitational is shaping up to be the biggest yet following the success of the fourth instalment at the weekend.

More than 250 players, making up 35 teams, competed in Horsham, with games contested at the Royal and White Hart hotels and Horsham Lanes and Games. Event co-ordinator Darren ‘Deadly’ Duncan said the invitational was one of the biggest events of its type in regional Australia. “We’ve managed to achieve that in just four years, whereas a lot of other competitions have taken 10 or more years to become well established,” he said. “Everyone likes coming to Horsham because it’s central. “I don’t have to chase people anymore – they want to come.” Mr Duncan said about 14 Wimmera teams – from Stawell and Ararat to Horsh-

am and Dimboola – competed, with competitors also travelling from Bordertown, Mount Gambier, Melbourne, Geelong and Gippsland. “We had some of Australia’s finest here, including a couple of world title holders in black ball, which is another derivative of 8-ball itself,” he said. “It went really well. Everyone was happy. “It was a little bit bigger again this year than in previous years. It just continues to grow. At the minute, we have a minimum of 38 teams for next year so it will be bigger again in 2022.” Mr Duncan said the event provided a great economic boost for the Wimmera capital, with pubs, restaurants and accommodation providers among the biggest winners. Organisers again used the event as an opportunity to raise money for a good cause and will donate $1500 to Wimmera Cancer Centre. Mr Duncan said the competition was

hotly contested, with Shark Squad winning division one, defeating Stawell 7-2. Team Any Danger took out division two ahead of Warrnambool 2, 7-3, while Gatecrashers won division three in a close encounter with Horsham-based team Henty, 7-6. The division-four final saw 8 Balls of Fire take the glory over Gass, 7-5. Mr Duncan, who is also secretary of Horsham and Stawell 8-ball associations, said players were happy to compete again after COVID forced the cancellation of competitions throughout last year. “We were lucky because we played the invitational last year before COVID set in, and ours is the first event up and running since the pandemic,” he said. “All of the others were cancelled, but we’ve got three competitions – at Mount Gambier, Warrnambool and Geelong – in the next eight weeks. “At the moment they are going ahead but of course, everything depends on COVID.”

High five

The Toyota HiLux has proven Australia’s most popular vehicle for the fifth year running

ustralia’s new-vehicle market has slumped to its lowest annual sales result since 2003, with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic seeing the national sales tally fall to under one million units for the first time since 2007.

However the year ended with a glimmer of hope, thanks to a second consecutive month of year-on-year growth, with December’s 95,652 new registrations marking a 13.5 percent uptick over the corresponding period in 2019. A total of 916,968 vehicles were sold in 2020, marking a 13.7 percent decline over the 1,062,867 units in 2019, however the slide could have been worse if not for the improvements shown in November and December, with the year-to-date slide at the end of October standing at 18.8 percent, out to 20.5 percent at the end of September. Of 2020 new-car sales, SUVs continued to increase their dominance on the market with 49.6 percent of overall sales, up from 45.5 percent in

2019, marking 454,701 units. Passenger cars were the next most popular, with a 24.2 percent share, 22,103 units, but the biggest sales drop at 29.7 percent, while light commercial vehicles had a 22.4 percent share with 205,597 units. Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber said 2020 had proved an extremely challenging year, however there were positive signs. He said the FCAI was predicting a return to national sales above one million units. “We’re cautiously optimistic that we’re at the beginning of a positive trend,” he said. While 2020 was largely a year of negatives, there were some positives, particularly in the low-emission vehicle space with EV sales, excluding Tesla, which does not report to the FCAI, up 16.2 percent year-on-year. Plug-in hybrids also increased in sales by 18.2 percent, while Toyota’s concerted effort to broaden its range of self-charging hybrid offerings played a major part in hybrid

sales climbing a massive 93.7 percent. Toyota unsurprisingly came out on top as Australia’s best-selling brand with 204,801 combined sales – down only slightly on the 205,766 sold over 2019 – marking a 22.3 percent share of the market, its highest share since 2008. Its HiLux pick-up was the country’s most popular vehicle for the fifth year running, with its 45,176 sales besting its primary rival, the Ford Ranger, which finished second on 40,973 sales. Toyota also had the honour of the best-selling SUV in the land with its RAV4 medium SUV chalking up 38,537 sales, third overall, while the Corolla small car was the most popular passenger car with 25,882 units, fourth overall. In fact, Toyota vehicles took up five of the top 10 slots, with the LandCruiser off-roader, 25,142 units, finishing fifth and the Prado large SUV, 18,034, netting ninth place overall. As mentioned, Toyota’s hybrid performance was a standout, with 26.5 percent of all Toyota sales made up of hybrids, a stark contrast to 2017 where

hybrids represented only 3.5 percent of sales. Second place overall belonged to Mazda with 85,640 units, with the CX-5 medium SUV being the brand’s only entrant in the top 10, finishing sixth with 21,979 units. Third place went to Hyundai with 64,807 sales, despite a 24.7 year-onyear skid, with the trusty i30 small car finishing seventh overall on 20,734 units. Ford finished fourth on 59,601 units, largely on the back of the aforementioned Ranger, which made up more than two-thirds of overall sales for the Blue Oval. Rounding out the top five was Mitsubishi, with 58,335 sales, represented in the top 10 by the venerable Triton pick-up, finishing eighth, 18,136 units. The last brand with a top-10 car was Kia, which finished sixth overall on 56,076 sales, with its Cerato small car rounding out the top 10 on 17,559 units. Seventh and eighth position belonged to Volkswagen and Nissan, with both brands experiencing overall

sales drops of more than 20 percent. Wrapping up the top 10 brands was Subaru in ninth and luxury marque Mercedes-Benz Cars, which managed 29,455 sales, dipping a relatively small 7.9 percent year-on-year. Benz bested its primary luxury rivals and compatriots Audi and BMW, despite both brands actually increasing their sales in 2020 by one percent and 0.9 percent respectively. BMW finished the year on 23,520 units, while Audi’s 15,868 sales were no doubt aided by a flurry of newmodel launches throughout the year. Arguably the greatest success story of the year came from Chinese-British brand MG, which saw a considerable 83.2 percent sales lift to 15,253 units and a not-insignificant 1.7 percent market share. In fact, it was a largely successful year for other Chinese brands too, with Haval, 3294 sales, Great Wall, 1941, and LDV, 9323, all thriving in the face of tough economic conditions. – Robbie Wallis

Hybrid Hyundai Santa Fe looming

yundai Motor Company Australia says its forthcoming hybrid models are intended to be a support act to its headline grabbers – the Ioniq 5 electric vehicle and Nexo fuel-cell electric vehicle – but with a performance twist.

GREEN MACHINE: The electrified Hyundai Santa Fe will join the rest of the range in the second half of 2021. Preliminary combined power output is only 169kW, but Santa Fe Hybrid’s real-world performance is apparently the clincher. “Driveability – that’s gonna be the trick,” Mr Tuitahi said. “You jump in that 1.6 turbo with the electric motor and it’s amazing. You’ve got turbo torque and you’ve got electric torque, with a level of

petrol performance we’ve never had in Santa Fe. “When we evaluated, we thought we have a really strong advantage over some of the hybrid powertrains that Toyota offers that are naturally aspirated. “Globally, there’s plug-in and conventional Santa Fe Hybrid, same fundamental powertrain. We’re focusing

on the Hybrid because plug-in is an additional cost. “We’ve crunched the numbers, looked at what people want, what people are buying, what their understanding is between a plug-in hybrid and full battery electric. And we really think the opportunity for us with Santa Fe centres around that higher-output petrol AWD that we’re missing at the

With Toyota dominating the hybrid space with its big-selling RAV4, Australia’s third-most popular brand believes an opportunity exists for Hyundai to be a force in the electric vehicle, EV, and fuel-cell electric vehicle, FCEV, sphere. HMCA general manager of product planning Andrew Tuitahi said having hybrid as a complementary story to electric cars was where the company saw itself forging leadership among the mainstream brands. “The technology story we’re bringing forward focuses on the batteryelectric cars – the upcoming Ioniqs,” he said. “Hybrid gives us a little bit of that story, but mostly it’s about an allwheel-drive petrol that’s got good power and torque.” The first new hybrid to arrive is the Santa Fe, due in the second half of 2021, combining a 1.6-litre turbopetrol four-cylinder with a 44kW electric motor, a six-speed torque-converter automatic and a proper driveshaft to the rear.

moment. Hybrid fills that gap nicely.” Mr Tuitahi said a hybrid version of the forthcoming all-new Tucson remained under investigation but was unconfirmed for Australia. He said he believed hybridisation of Hyundai’s model range would be inevitable moving forward. “Every model is on the table for a future hybrid and we’re looking at what we can do,” he said. “I couldn’t say that we could mirror Toyota’s strategy, but I think where we have a strength is that we have hybrid technology that can be implemented, but we also have some incredible battery-electric cars already in the market that Toyota can’t deliver.” Further down the track, Mr Tuitahi said there was a greater performance story waiting to unfold. “Our hope is there will be an N or an N-Line of every model in our lineup. With the way emissions are going globally, that story of N and ‘eco’ and environmentally friendly powertrains, ultimately have to converge,” he said. “Electric immediately means performance and it’s a good way to add performance to cars.” The facelifted Hyundai Ioniq – offered in Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and Electric versions – has sold 498 units from January to November, 2020, six cars shy of the same period in 2019. – Nathan Ponchard

With this amount of land you can build that dream shed and still have plenty left over for a large residence. Or build on one and sell the other or develop the second to give yourself an income stream. This block has easy access from the highway and all services are available. There is lane running along the south boundary of the blocks and fencing along the western boundary. Some clearing will be required.

NETHERWAY, Bill

The Noradjuha Quantong FNC acknowledges the passing of one of their valued life members, Bill Netherway. Bill played well over 200 games for the old Quantong club in the traditional black with the red vee. Bill was a very steady and reliable back flanker wearing the number 19 jumper with pride. Living less than a couple of kilometres from the Quantong ground, “Bill was one of the first to get to training, and one of the last to leave”, said legendary Quantong premiership coach, John Holloway. Bill played in seven grand finals, netting three premierships in the late fifties and early sixties. His career spanned from when he was 15, to in his early 30’s, with a knee injury ending his playing days. Being the loyal player and supporter he was, Bill made it his job to hoist the Quantong premiership flags before home games, taking player stats for many years and helping out as a trainer. His contribution to Quantong and Noradjuha Quantong FNC was loyalty personified, and he will be sadly missed and remembered by everyone at Noradjuha Quantong. The last of the old Quantong fruit growers, may he rest in peace. Condolences to Wenda and the girls and their families.

Christian Devotions

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Christmas celebrations are over. Some of us have been given gifts we needed, and even gifts we wanted. But the toys will break, clothes won’t fit, and things will wear out. Even the holidays will be finished and will just be memories. There is one gift that will never wear out, fade, rust or perish. One gift that will not have a ‘use by’ date. That is THE gift – the gift of God who comes to us as an infant. The gift who brings, and is, Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. Jesus Christ is that gift – and is the gift that keeps on giving. If there is something that 2020 has brought us, it is the importance of relationships. We have learnt that it is relationships that sustain and nourish us – not things. As God’s Son, Jesus brings us back into relationship with God and with each other. We can be forgiven and restored, and have strength to forgive others and start again. What better gift to have? One where we can find hope, peace, joy and love, and have those in us despite the circumstances. And we can offer them to each other. My prayer is that we (and the world) can know this gift for ourselves – the gift that never stops; then the world will be a better place. Susan Pearse - Uniting Church

Back in action BY ONE SHORT

rampians Cricket Association resumes on Saturday with matches between Youth Club and Swifts-Great Western at Central Park and Pomonal taking on BuangorTatyoon at Alexandra Oval.

St Andrews has the bye. The Christmas break saw Swifts-Great Western, 24, on top of the ladder, three points ahead of Buangor-Tatyoon, 21, followed by Youth Club and St Andrews on 12 points each. Pomonal is on nine points, just three points adrift. The Combine, leading the rankings, will be keen to maintain that position and likely will do so until round 14, when it again plays Buangor-Tatyoon. Youth Club’s match against SwiftsGreat Western is a crucial game for the Clubbers, as a loss places it in jeopardy of dropping out of the four should Pomonal defeat Buangor-Tatyoon. The match is a replay of last year’s final, but since that time the Clubbers appear to have lost their mojo while the Combine has gained strength. The Clubbers’ batting hinges on the form of skipper Nic Baird, who so far has failed to replicate last year’s stellar season. The Clubbers will need him to be firing along with Koby Stewart and Cam Kimber to post a competitive score against Combine bowlers Jamie Bach, Jay Moody and Matt Heffer, all of whom

feature in the top-five wicket takers. Clubbers bowlers Baird, Kimber and Clinton Slorach must restrict Combine batsmen Sam Cocks, Tom Eckel and Ricky Peters, whose average stands at an amazing 156, to win the game. At Ararat’s Alexandra Oval, Pomonal will be trying to replicate its last round win, while Buangor-Tatyoon will attempt to bounce back with a victory. Ladder positions would suggest the Hawks should go in favourite against the Tigers, with batsmen James Phillips, Jarrod Blandford and Michael Harricks having an edge over Lynden Brewis, Clayton Mackley and the hero of their last win Lachlan Dalkin, but if Pomonal can manage a win, it will go a long way to securing a finals berth. Last week Grampians Cricket Association played in the under-15 and under-13 Central Highlands Junior Country Week competition, with the under-15 team reaching the final only to be beaten by Ballarat. The best Grampians performers were Hayden Dowling with the bat and Brad Carter with the ball. The under-13 team finished fifth after defeating Ballarat in a semi-final. Grampians was best served by Brady McMahon batting and Harry Evans bowling. This week is the under-17 Kirton Shield competition.

PURPLE PATCH: Rocknroll Opal, with Michael Bellman sitting quietly, runs down hot-favourite Jaeden, Jackie Barker, on Thursday last week to score at Dalvui Raceway, Terang. The five-year-old gelding has struck a purple patch of form for trainer Brad Hunt and owner Kerissa Bond, with a close-up second placing at Horsham on December 23 followed by back-to-back victories at Ararat and Terang. Hunt is now being rewarded for his perseverance with Rocknroll Opal after the bay showed little in his first 10 starts. In the past 12 months things have turned around, with four wins, two seconds, one third and a fourth from 14 starts. Harness racing moves to Hamilton on Sunday and Stawell on January 25.

Enthralling Horsham cricket battle looms An enthralling battle for fourth place on the ladder will unfold as Horsham Cricket Association resumes after the Christmas break. Noradjuha-Toolondo sits on top of the ladder, a clear leader from Homers. West Wimmera, RupanyupMinyip and Jung Tigers are gripped in a battle in the run to the finals. Rupanyup-Minyip finished the lead-up to the break strongly, beating Homers at Rupanyup, while Jung Tigers staged an upset victory over West Wimmera at Nhill.

Baker retains state title BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera man has firmed his position as a Victorian speedway title holder for a second consecutive year, following a tense final at the weekend.

Pimpinio’s Jock Baker won the Victorian Speedway Council Limited Sportsman title from 16 other competitors on Saturday. Baker took out the top position at Kalkee’s Blue Ribbon Raceway, where he maintained a half-lap lead for the majority of the 25-lap race. Hamilton’s Andrew Wilson placed second and Portland’s Bowen Donkers, third. This is Baker’s fifth state title win, having won two South Aus-

tralian and three Victorian titles. Baker said he went into the race at his home track with confidence, even despite being out of practice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’m pretty confident on the home track. The only worry was getting tangled up in some other drivers and some mechanical failures,” he said. “But all-in-all, we couldn’t fault the car – wherever I pointed it, it went.” Baker said a hiccup halfway through the race that resulted in a restart was not enough to obstruct his lead. “I was half a lap ahead by the time we finished the 25 laps,” he said. “At lap 12, my brother Dean blew a radiator hose and one of the

Jock Baker cars hit the water and spun out in front of me. “The orange lights came on and I hit the water and skidded up to the wall and stopped.” Baker said he was thrilled to

see a return to competitive racing across Victoria. After the Victorian titles in March last year, all race meets were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “There was no practice, nothing at all other than sitting in the shed and working on the car last year,” Baker said. “We had a month to get the car prepped for the titles, so my two boys and I pulled the car to pieces and put it back together. “We went over every nut and bolt and left no stone unturned.” Baker said he hoped races could continue throughout the year. His next race meet will be King of the Rock at Bairnsdale later this month, before competing in the South Australian titles in Mount Gambier later this year.

Regatta success for City, Dimboola rowers Horsham City and Dimboola rowing club members enjoyed success at the Rutherglen Rowing Regatta at the weekend. The event, on Lake Moodemere, was the first club regatta since COVID-19 lockdowns started in March last year. More than 500 rowers competed in 337 races throughout Saturday and Sunday.

Horsham City sent a small contingent, as many rowers were still on holidays. The club had two entries in the female masters double scull, with Sarah Tottenham, stroke, and Sally Marcroft, bow, scoring a win over Power House, Richmond and the other Horsham crew. Both Horsham crews had to give a two-second start to the city-based

crews. The race was hotly contested, with Tottenham and Marcroft catching the Power House crew just before the finish line to win the final by half a metre. The club also achieved second place in the mixed double scull. Dimboola’s C Grade coxed quad celebrated back-to-back titles at Rutherglen. The team comprised Tori Men-

Ararat Redbacks have a bye this week after starting their 2020-21 Country Basketball League season in style at the weekend. Ararat defeated Portland Coasters, 84-72, at Portland in the opening round of the south-west men’s conference. Zac Dunmore did not hold back, dropping 29 points – including three three-pointers – in a stellar performance. Team-mate Ethan Fiegert, 19, also finished with double figures, with nine other players contributing to the total. The season is a modified one due to COVID-related restrictions on sport throughout 2020. The regular season will run for seven weeks, with semi-finals on February 27 and grand finals on March 6. Ararat is the only Wimmera team competing in the CBL competition this season. Horsham Amateur Basketball Association decided to withdraw its men’s and women’s teams from the competition due to uncertainty surrounding player availability and a desire to focus on domestic and junior programs. The association did send an under-18 team to Portland for a ‘scratch match’ with the Coasters.

zel, cox, Freya Colbert, bow, Tilli Menzel, two, Alex Salter, three, and Maddy Toet, stroke. Salter and Toet won a women’s C Grade double scull final, while Rory Hallinan-Johns won two male under-15 single scull events. Dimboola sent 11 rowers to the competition, competing in 46 events.

Horsham tennis player Steffi McDonald has flown back to the United States to continue her tennis scholarship at a new university. McDonald will line up for Southeastern Oklahoma State University after transferring from Blue Mountain College in Mississippi. She spent her freshman year at Lindsey Wilson College. Southeastern women’s head coach Brian Nelson said McDonald was a great addition to the team. Lady Savage Storm will launch its season against Grambling State University Tigers in Ruston, Louisiana, on January 31.

Logan champion; Horsham to host S

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

pots on next year’s Wimmera representative tennis team are likely to be hotly contested with the announcement Horsham will host 2022 country championships.

Thirty-two of the Wimmera’s best tennis players put their skills to the test at the weekend, with many enjoying a successful outing at the 65th Tennis Victoria Inter-regional Country Championships. Wimmera team events co-ordinator Sandra Casey said she believed many players would again put up their hand to represent the region after a successful and enjoyable three-day outing in Warrnambool. “It all went really well,” she said. “We ended up with three main-draw finalists and quite a few consolation finalists. “Some of the players lost in the first round but still went on to make consolation finals, which is a great effort.” Logan Casey enjoyed the best results of all Wimmera players. The young Horsham talent, whose tennis continues to go from strength to strength, won the under-14 singles country championship, triumphing in the final 6-0, 6-2. “Logan was the number-one seed so there was a bit of pressure on him going into the tournament. But he won,

so obviously they got the seeding right,” Mrs Casey said. “It’s his first inter-regional individual win – he has won mixed doubles before – and he was thrilled to win this one on his own.” Logan also qualified for his doubles final with Aiden Richardson, with the pair claiming runner-up honours against the top seeds, 5-4, 1-4, 10-8. Kirby Knight and Georgia McLennan claimed silver in the 25 and under doubles main draw, 4-1, 4-2. Several players also competed in consolation finals. Winners included Cherie Wood, 35-49 women’s singles, 6-1; Tahlia Thompson and Jordy Friberg, 16 and under mixed, 7-6; Kim Hartwich and Leesa McInnes, 50-plus women’s doubles, walkover. Runners-up included Dylan Emmerson, men’s open division, 4-6; Blair Penrose and Conor Chivell, 16 and under mixed, 6-7; Tara McIntyre and Aiden Richardson, 14 and under mixed, 1-6; Leesa McInnes and Ross McIntyre, 50-plus mixed doubles, 1-6; Kate-Lyn Perkin and Paula Wiedermann, open doubles, 2-6. Overall, Wimmera finished sixth of nine teams, which Mrs Casey said was comparable to its 2020 performance. She congratulated all participants on their efforts, on and off the court. “Our crowd was very busy, moving

Pictured, from left, are 14 and under team members Tara McIntyre, Aiden Richardson, Ella Thompson and Logan Casey. Logan stole the show, winning his division’s singles championship and runner-up honours in doubles with Aiden. Picture: KAREN REES from court to court to watch all the Wimmera players and cheer them on,” she said. “I know it sounds like I’m bragging, but as a region we do it better than all the others. It’s great to see the row of Wimmera shirts all lined up supporting everyone – it’s a real team environment.”

Mrs Casey said feedback had been ‘nothing but positive’ from Wimmera participants. “The weather, which of course we have no control over, was perfect and the courts were in great condition. The running of the event was excellent, as was the quality of competition,” she said.

“Everyone I spoke to had a fantastic time. When you take something away from someone and then give it back they appreciate it more and that was evident at the weekend.” Mrs Casey will now look to compile a team for the Pat Cash Cup at Wodonga at the end of next month. She said the junior event involved teams of 16 players from 12 and under through to 18 and under divisions. “We need to fill a full team to be able to go. I’m about to start the process for that so hopefully we will be able to,” she said. “Otherwise, we will also be doing smaller group representative events in the different age categories throughout the year.” Mrs Casey said she was excited Horsham Lawn Tennis Club had won the right to host the 66th country championships. “The competition will bring a lot of money into the town, particularly in terms of accommodation and people eating out, so it is important the wider community gets behind it,” she said. “We need the whole tennis community to get behind Horsham Lawn Tennis Club and give them a hand with the event, not just leave it to the club to do everything. “I’m sure there will also be a lot of interested players – the trials could be pretty tightly contested.”
