CLIMB ON: Rock-climbing enthusiasts joined Natimuk arts community at the weekend for a virtual version of annual GoatFest Film Festival. The Easter event typically attracts climbers from across the country, but was postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions on social gatherings. Festival co-manager Tracey Skinner welcomed 14 Australian and international entries for the festival. She said moving the event online helped bridge a connection among the climbing community. Natimuk residents, from left, Freya Jones, Dusty Schellens, Lani Jones, Amber and Beatrix Schellens won a ‘kids award’ for their video ‘The Natimuk Ninjas’. The girls edited the video to make it appear like they were scaling large grain storage silos at Natimuk. Story, page 9. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Region food project A

BY DEAN LAWSON

major project to help develop, streamline or enhance the Wimmera’s entrepreneurial foodproduction industry is underway, with an aim of opening new doors for regional produce.

Wimmera Development Association is launching a Wimmera Food Innovation Program to encourage growth in a broad sector that includes everyone from large-scale food manufacturers or boutique growers to back-yard hobby businesses. Association project manager Vernet-

ta Taylor said the program was about exploring, enhancing and capitalising on the potential of the Wimmera and southern Mallee as a diverse foodproduction region. She said the region had a long history as a base for traditional broadacre farming and the new program was about identifying growth opportunities for an expanded multi-dimensional food industry. “We want to keep the program open to as many people, producers and creators as possible,” she said. “People involved in this program could be anyone from established

food manufacturers to someone who makes preserves in their kitchen. It might also involve people creating boutique olive oil, smallgoods, prime lamb for restaurants, specialty baked products – the scope is very wide. “It’s about looking for innovation, avenues or conduits that can help. “It really is open to anyone who is in that food-production industry and exploring how they might be able to get greater traction in the marketplace – not only locally and regionally, but potentially nationally and internationally.” The association is inviting people

from across the region to attend any of three online innovation workshop sessions it has organised in the next month – 7pm on October 26, 10am on October 28 and 2pm, November 5. People keen to know more or to join sessions can call Mrs Taylor on 0419 114 274 or email vtaylor@wda.org.au.

Partnership

WDA is partnering with Food Innovation Australia Limited, FIAL, and Beanstalk to present the program, which starts with the workshops to identify a cohort of regional entrepreneurs.

An in-person and virtual 12-week innovation program involving participants will follow. The program will culminate in developing three entrepreneurial case studies to champion, promote and encourage other Wimmera entrepreneurs to get involved. “Over time, we expect that a critical mass of participants will allow for an alumni network of program participants to co-mentor one another beyond the program period,” Mrs Taylor said.

Region primed for ag rebound D

BY DEAN LAWSON

evelopment leaders believe exceptional seasonal farming conditions on top of government support have primed the Wimmera for a socio-economic rebound out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said the ‘perfectly timed’ arrival of drenching October rain would help agriculture lever much of western Victoria to regional recovery. He said Federal Government budget incentives on top of an expected big farming season would add an extra dimension to regional confidence and lead to widespread opportunity. “In a good year, agriculture in the Wimmera and southern Mallee usually generates $600-million to $700-million from a yield perspective,” he said. “That one rain we’ve just had, coming at the right time, it has added an estimated $100-million to that figure.” Mr Sounness, who spent many years with Birchip Cropping Group before taking the reins at the association, said the rain gave developing crops a ‘massive’ drink, allowing them to push on to generate high-quality grain. “Employment is a big aspect in all of this,” he said. “There is going to be a considerable amount of grain to handle and with that comes a lot of ancillary jobs. “This is a major boost to our re-

gional economy. While the product is not yet in the silo for this season, the farming community and the businesses servicing the industry are upbeat. “Importantly, what has happened gives the agriculture sector confidence to invest back into their communities

and that can be far-reaching, going well beyond agriculture. “Just like the rest of the country, our region has taken a significant hit during the pandemic and there is an expectation that agriculture will need to do the heavy lifting in generating community confidence. Hopefully the

region can come out the other side feeling quite strong and it has us all at WDA feeling quite excited.”

Budget support

Mr Sounness said Federal Government budgetary moves were likely to work strongly alongside a positive agricultural season.

Reservoirs respond to widespread rain A 17,000-megalitre top-up in the past week has added a layer of security to Wimmera-Mallee farm and domestic water supply. GWMWater storage manager Kym Wilson said while the 40 to 60 millimetres of rain that last week fell across headworks reservoirs was historically ‘not that big an event’, it came as a welcome boost. “We’ve seen a nice little bounce in reservoir levels during the past couple of days based on the rain that fell last week. It’s been really good,” he said. “From the start of July to Wednesday last week we had a 30-megalitre storage increase for the inflow season. We’ve had nearly another 17,000 megalitres on top of that since Wednesday. “We last saw this much storage increase in a week in 2017.” Mr Wilson said all reservoir levels

had increased after the widespread rain and Moora Moora Reservoir in the Grampians was likely to overflow and ultimately spill into Rocklands Reservoir. “Levels have increased across the board and the amount varies depending on where the rain has fallen. But it has been positive and promising and pushed us along quite nicely in the right direction,” he said. “We still have plenty of capacity to take more water and we’ll be relying on more follow-up rain to keep things flowing. Flows can drop away quite quickly and we will watch the weather forecasts quite closely.” Mr Wilson said all storages held good reserves of water. “We already had secure farm and domestic supply. Further rain just increases security of supply for further years,” he said. “But I would still love to see the

– Kym Wilson

storages full and we’ll take any rain we can get. “What people have to remember is that reservoir levels are dependent on rain. If we don’t get rain, storage levels fall. The types of rain events we saw last week really drive inflow into these lakes.” Mr Wilson said GWMWater kept a close look on data provided by the region’s relatively new Rainbow Radar.

“With up-to-date radar information we can look where a system is moving as it happens and where rain is or is likely to hit the catchment,” he said. “When we were relying on Mt Gambier radar we wouldn’t see much of the weather system as it approached.” The Bureau of Meteorology has released a severe weather outlook for October to April, showing an increased risk of flooding for eastern Australia and tropical cyclones in the north, with roughly average potential for heatwaves and severe thunderstorms. The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted that a La Niña weather system, the opposite of an El Niño, is likely to bring more rain than usual to eastern and northern Australia from October to April next year. – Dean Lawson

“A number of opportunities are emerging based on manufacturing and modernising support,” he said. “This will interest a number of businesses in our region who might have been thinking about how they can grow. Many now have funding opportunities to explore if guidelines match their enterprises. “And the opportunity of an instant tax write-off with significant asset acquisition for businesses will be a big winner. Of course you need money to spend in the first place, but businesses will be feeling more confident and looking to invest back in themselves. “In the end it means more money can circulate in the economy. “We also have increases in home-building opportunities – the more homes we can build the better. “There will also be a real need for labour and to get things firing there are now opportunities encouraging businesses to take on young people out of school, TAFE and so on. “It can be easy to get lost or lose confidence, but to get people in the workforce is so important. “There are obviously going to be a lot of challenges – many have been hit hard by what’s happened. But hopefully we can take advantage of opportunities.” Mr Sounness said the hope was that business confidence would in turn stimulate people into re-engaging in clubs, groups and major events.

Region food project plan From page 1 The program also involves FIAL and Beanstalk working with a select number of innovation-business development officers to ensure Wimmeratrained innovation officers can lead the program into the future. Association executive director Chris Sounness said the program represented a ‘wonderful’ opportunity for Wimmera businesses. “We encourage anyone who has an existing business small or large, or an idea for a business in the food industry, to attend one the innovation workshops,” he said. “WDA wants to provide the opportunity for businesses to build capacity, create connections and to develop sustainable operations that have the potential to both use and add value to local produce.”

Embassy defends state park A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

logging program and major highway project have prompted environmental and First Nations protestors near Ararat to step up pressure to defend areas of cultural and environmental significance.

At the start of the month, Djab Wurrung Protection Embassy members moved on a VicForests logging site at Mount Cole State Park in efforts to halt operations. Protesters used tactics such as treesits, locking onto machinery and setting up a protection camp. The group’s action stopped all but one truck leaving the site with a full load of logs. This was unfolding while workers on the Western Highway duplication project, between Ararat and Buangor, started felling several ‘significant’ trees. Protesters claim workers are close to a ‘Directions’ tree and fast approaching a 700-year-old ‘Grandfather’ tree the embassy has been trying to protect since mid-2018. Embassy chief Zellanach Djab Mara said on returning to the highway site on Tuesday last week, protestors faced ‘large numbers’ of police and private security. He said the embassy would continue to take action while loggers and the highway project threatened culturally and ecologically significant land. “We have to be very vigilant. We’re on alert 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’re on the job. We’re always thinking about when they might be coming,” he said.

He said Djab Wurrung members were seeking communication with government bodies to reach agreements. “We weren’t aware the loggers were coming out here as they’re not in dialogue with us,” he said. “There’s been no dialogue for the best part of three years now. They continue to do things without getting free, prior and informed consent. “This is about rights. It’s always been about rights – the right to be here, to make a choice, to give ownership away, if we choose to do so. The right to assert our sovereignty, if we choose to – to be here on our country, should we choose. The right to be without harm or discrimination and without decimation of our country.” Mr Djab Mara said deforestation at Mount Cole was threatening native plant and animal species. “This is the most important work to be done in this country. If you can’t look after the land you stand on, once it’s gone, it’s gone. There is no replacing it,” he said. “Everything is becoming extinct, the native animals, plants and vegetation.” Mr Djab Mara said his connection to the country he was protecting was more than seven generations deep. “The trees that I’m protecting, they are my family. This is where the bloodline first started for my people, and I’m as old as my people,” he said. “The roots that are intertwined in me are as deep as the roots that are intertwined in the land.” Late last year, Premier Daniel Andrews said logging of old-growth forest would end immediately and

native-timber harvesting would be ‘phased down’ before ending entirely in 2030. The State Government’s Victorian Environmental Assessment Council, VEAC, called for some sections of Mount Cole State Park to be reclassified as a national park. The government was due to make a decision in February but is yet to respond to the recommendation.

Endangered

Earlier this year nature conservation organisation Victorian National Parks Association completed a citizen science survey at Mount Cole. Association executive director Matt Ruchel said the forested mountain was a refuge for more than 20 species of threatened plants and animals in a heavily cleared region of the state, such as the threatened species Mount Cole grevillea. “That grevillea is unique to Mount Cole and is listed as critically endangered,” Mr Ruchel said. “There’s also populations of the Grampians bitter-pea at Mount Cole as well, which was thought to be extinct. Forest owls, a threatened species, also exist in that area and there’s potential for phascogales.” Mr Ruchel said the VEAC’s recommendation to change sections of the state park to a national park also included protection of Wimmera River headwaters as a ‘Heritage River’. Others sections of the river are already heritage listed. “Mount Cole is really important as it’s in a very fragmented landscape. It’s heavily vegetated, but it’s in a sea of farmland,” Mr Ruchel said.

“If the government does not make a decision soon, much more of that park will be destroyed.” A VicForests spokesperson said contractors were working within approved ‘timber-harvest safety zones’. “They are legitimate workplaces and non-authorised individuals entering these zones are committing an offence and put themselves and authorised personnel at risk of serious injury,” the spokesperson said. “VicForests’ staff and contractors have interacted calmly and respectfully regarding the recent protests near Mt Cole.” Ballarat Police Inspector Mark Ward said police were sent to the Archie’s Road logging site to monitor protests. “Police are aware of ongoing protests in the area and are monitoring to ensure no breaches of the peace, antisocial behaviour or crime occurs,” he said. The Weekly Advertiser contacted the office of Victorian Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio for comment. The office could not confirm changes to classification of state park.

Highway

A State Government spokesperson said the $157-million Western Highway duplication project would improve safety on Victorian roads. “With more than 100 crashes on the Western Highway in recent years, including 11 deaths, we’re getting on with this urgent safety upgrade that will save lives,” they said. Mr Djab Mara said he and other embassy members would continue efforts to ‘protect’ Mount Cole State Park and trees along the Western Highway.

February date for feast Horsham Agricultural Society leaders have announced a date for the organisation’s inaugural 150km Feast, designed to reinvigorate the region’s events culture amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The society has pencilled in February 20, 2021, for the 150-themed under-the-stars outdoor dining and entertainment experience. The feast, at Horsham Showground’s Maydale Reserve, will involve catering for 150 patrons, a 150-minute free drinks package and 150 metres of free camping. Society executive administrator Andrea Cross said she was confident if government restrictions continued to be lifted, the organisation could present a COVID-safe event. She said the feast would be ‘a harvest festival like no other, celebrating good food, good wine and good people’. “This community collaborative event will provide you a feast to indulge in some of the Wimmera and Grampians’ finest seasonal produce with a selection of ingredients sourced from within 150 kilometres of Horsham,” she said. “Dine in our back paddock overlooking the river, under a canopy of stars in our unique hay-bale-styled dining room. Imagine a rustic setting of timber-topped tables in pods of 10, laid out in a deconstructed fashion adhering to a COVID-safe plan.” Tickets at $150 will go on sale on November 12.

Absorbing politics

elcome to the club if you are sick to death of talking about the COVID-19 pandemic.

But it would be lax of us to ignore just how much the experience has taught us about ourselves, our day-to-day lives and society as a whole. Its impact has touched and influenced us in so many ways and has constantly challenged our sensibilities on what is the true ‘normal’. It has asked us to consider aspects of modern western democratic life that we might have in the recent past taken for granted or brushed over and demanded us all to take individual action. As we’ve attempted to fight our way out of this global disaster, subjects such as community health and wellbeing, education and the socio-economic state of affairs surrounding our workforce have continually gone through the ringer, seemingly squeezing out every conceivable issue. Underpinning it all and attracting particular scrutiny has been our processes of governance and the ability of our state and federal leaders and their parties to work with the community to get through the pandemic. Impressions are different for everyone, but some of us have come to acknowledge that regardless of how severe a collective circumstance, the world of politics and politicking never ends. Through this great saga we’ve seen it all – moments of impressive individual steadfast and stoic leadership but also weaknesses in political argument, process and accountability. We’ve seen declarations of support as well as condemning criticism and all the while tried

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson to wade through ever-changing and what have occasionally seemed ambiguous directives, especially when understanding the differences between metropolitan and regional Victoria. People have had an opportunity to see broad political party governance, policy direction and philosophy and all the reaction it can generate in its rawest form. During the process, some have appealed for a united political front. Others have demanded the scrutinization and accountability demands of political process to remain firm. There has been much for us all to absorb. Our concentrated efforts at the moment are to do the best we can to maintain a sense of normality, endure restrictions and maintain a vigilance in suppressing this virus. But there will soon come times, as part of the democratic process, that Australians and Victorians will mark political report cards. For Victorians it will come at the next State Election, scheduled for November 26, 2022. For Australia, the next Federal Election will be before or during 2022. Will voting reflect sentiment based on all that’s happened this year and what might still happen, or will people have removed themselves from the past and moved on? Much remains to be seen.

SIR, – Why can’t Natimuk Lake be filled like Lake Lascelles at Hopetoun? After holidays at Lake Lascelles we witnessed a wonderful community of volunteers and workers turning up daily to work around the lake doing maintenance and keeping it beautiful. This lake is magic and has made Hopetoun stand out on the map, not just for us, but Australia-wide. Yarriambiack Shire would have to be one of the most progressive in Victoria, with the Silo Art Trail and lakes filled by GWMWater all the way to Ouyen. Brim Lake – suitable for water-skiing, fishing with caravan and camping ground – filled by GWMWater. Beulah – Another full lake suitable for skiing and a lovely campground – filled by GWMWater. Lake Lascelles – Free camping, a caravan park, fishing, skiing – filled by GMWWater. Ouyen – Brand-new lake, formerly a swamp – filled by GWMWater. Natimuk Lake also has a band of willing workers who would do the same for their lake. All they need is the water. If they say it can’t be done, of course it can. If water can go to Ouyen it can get to Natimuk Lake. Natimuk township has a lot going for it, with Mt Arapiles at its doorstep, a great pub, craft and furniture shops, milkbar and attractions. Natimuk deserves this. It’s the only township in the area that doesn’t have a swimming pool. So why can’t this happen? If you want tourists – caravanners are in droves looking for parks and free camping around water. At Hopetoun we couldn’t get a park in the main street for caravans, which is wonderful for Hopetoun shops and keeping their town alive. Come on Horsham Rural City Council and GWMWater. We need this for our area. Let’s get it moving for summer and boost tourism for our area. Jennifer Delaney Horsham

Horticultural industry

SIR, – Doctor Johanna Howe, a labour and migration law expert at the University of Adelaide, suggests we use undocumented migrant workers to help save the horticultural industry. The horticultural industry produces 93 percent of the food consumed in Australia. Because of chronic labour shortages in the industry, made much worse by the COVID-19 pandemic, she says we are going to see ‘higher prices for groceries, less varieties and a contraction of growers’. We urgently need the crop to be picked in November and December this year and not left to rot on the vine or ground. Howe makes the point that the Federal Government and some state governments are trying to encourage young Australians to go fruit picking. But all past schemes to incentivise fruit picking for young Aussies have not worked. Young Australians are not lazy. But she says that it is just that the work ‘is physically hard, in inclement weather and in regional areas’. Australia is not unique in this regard. All over the world, a migrant workforce generally picks fruit and vegetables. Given that 80 to 90 percent of horticultural workers in Mildura and Robinvale areas are undocumented migrant workers, Dr Howe says ‘the Federal Government should find a way, during the pandemic, to convert the status of these migrant workers so that they had a pathway to residency’. She says this would be an ‘immediate way to provide trained, productive and highly motivated workers right now’ to an industry that desperately needs them. Let’s give the undocumented workers a helping hand, while saving a vital Australian industry and providing lower prices for consumers of fruit and vegetables. The ball is in your court – Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack. Robert Blakeley Horsham

Horsham Aquatic Centre’s outdoor war memorial swimming pool is open. Horsham Rural City Council confirmed the annual opening date would come forward following State Government confirmation that outdoor pools could reopen as part of the third step of the easing of COVID restrictions. To ensure the health and safety of visitors, staff and the broader community, the pool’s reopening will comply with the government restrictions. For people keen to use the pool – • All sessions must be booked in advance via Horsham Aquatic Centre’s website. • There will be a maximum of 50 swimmers, lap and recreational swimming allowed. Horsham council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the decision to open the pool came after discussions with the aquatic centre operator YMCA and regular users. “In previous years the outdoor pool has opened in late November,” he said. “We’ve had contact with several community members who have requested the pool be opened early, given the COVID pandemic’s impact on opportunity for recreational activities.” Outdoor pool opening hours will be Monday to Friday from 6am until 10am and 4pm to 7pm.

Dedicated lanes

A roundabout in the centre of Horsham city will soon have green bicycle lanes installed to improve cyclist safety. Horsham Rural City Council plans to install the bicycle lanes at the Hamilton and Firebrace streets’ roundabout by the end of the year. Chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the project, jointly funded by the council and Transport Accident Commission, was a key priority of a Horsham Bicycle Advisory Committee. “Hamilton Street has on-road bicycle lanes each way, but riders are forced to merge with vehicles at the roundabout,” he said. “Due to the number of community facilities located on Hamilton Street and its role as a connector to off and on road paths, the bicycle committee has identified this route as a priority. “This is the first step in council’s goal to have more visible cycling pathways around the city as identified in the Horsham Urban Transport Plan.” Changes to the roundabout’s central island and kerb design are also part of the project.

Follow-up rain to determine flows W

BY DEAN LAWSON

eather conditions in the next fortnight are likely to determine flowrates in Wimmera waterways after heavy rain across the region last week.

A sodden Wimmera catchment is primed and surface run-off water is flowing into the system. But only follow-up rain will lead to major flows in the Wimmera River and its tributaries and distributaries. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan provided the assessment in response to the drenching. An extensive rain band drifting from the northwest left between 13 and 50 millimetres in gauges, with some of the heaviest falls in the heart of the Wimmera. “The amount of rain took a lot of people by surprise, but in truth what we saw was one of the more ‘traditional’ spring rain events,” Mr Brennan said. “It followed a former trend that we haven’t experienced for a long time. “This time of the year we traditionally expect to provide the highest inflows into our rivers and creeks. “It has really primed the catchment and if we get rain in the next week or so we should see some significant flows through the Wimmera.” Mr Brennan said last week’s rain had come after earlier rain, but also on the back of a dry June and July and then a lack of back-to-back wet weeks. “It takes some time to reconnect pools in rivers and streams and it usually takes consistent falls to get everything moving. But, they are connected now and we should see a better return with flows,” he said.

“Again, much will depend on the weather in the next fortnight. The days are getting longer and temperatures getting warmer.”

Mr Brennan said river and stream flows usually depended on where the heaviest rain fell. “For example, if the amount of rain that fell at Dimboola, that was in some areas close to 50 millimetres, had happened in key areas of the upper catchment, the story would be different,” he said. “Some parts of the upper catchment had falls around the 40mm mark, but others had only 13mm and of course that all dictates where and when water starts to run and how far it flows. “To put it in perspective, a minor flow generated by heavy rain in the upper catchment three weeks ago reached Horsham only late last week.” The Wimmera River system’s headworks are in the Pyrenees near Mount Cole and captures further recharge run-off from the Grampians as it meanders north to the terminal lakes of the southern Mallee. “What is interesting is that considerable rain has fallen north of the ranges and we will watch closely to see what that means from a catchment perspective,” Mr Brennan said. He added that while the rain was of obvious significant benefit to farming enterprises across the region, the region’s environmental assets were also big winners. “When it comes to plants, animals and ecosystems that naturally rely on the catchment, the news is also good. The Wimmera landscape is probably looking as good as it has for a while. It really doesn’t get much better than this,” he said.

Climbers harness festival energy on winners in three categories. Melbourne-based climber Simon Madden won a ‘jury choice’ award for his video ‘Firetail’, while Matt Ray and Jimmy Stephens were winners of an ‘audience choice’ award for their video ‘Mirage’. Natimuk youth Lani and Freya Jones and Amber, Dusty and Beatrix Schellens received a ‘kids award’ for their video ‘The Natimuk Ninjas’. Theatre co-manager Tracey Skinner said more than 100 people purchased tickets for the Saturday night event. “There were also people who said they couldn’t make the live event but wanted to support it and watch the movies, so some people tuned in after,” she said. “We had quite a few submissions from across Australia and one from oversees. It was

Rock climbers across Australia tuned into a Natimuk-based event featuring regional and international rock-climbingthemed films at the weekend. Arapiles Community Theatre, ACT, Natimuk joined with rock climbers for a virtual rendition of its annual GoatFest Film Festival. The film festival was postponed at Easter – when the region would normally see an influx of rock climbers visit Natimuk and Mt ArapilesTooan State Park – due to COVID-19 restrictions. In past years, climbers and community members would fill Natimuk’s Soldiers Memorial Hall to maximum capacity to view hours of climbing entertainment. For the online version of the event, organisers sifted through 14 entries to decide

a really nice mix of movies.” Ms Skinner said moving online helped bridge a connection among the climbing community during the COVID-19 pandemic. “GoatFest is all about community and the banter. In a normal year when you walk in it’s just buzzing,” she said. “There’s lots of like-minded people who have a passion for climbing in one space, as well as non-climbers.” She said moving online would allow organisers to create a multi-platform event in 2021. “At this point we are going to aim to run the festival in April next year. Depending on restrictions we might be able to have live events, but we may be restricted with how many people can attend,” she said.

Walsh: Basin rail stops with leaders V

ictorian deputy opposition leader Peter Walsh has accused Victorian Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan of ‘attempting to rewrite history by handballing blame for the stalled Murray Basin Rail Project to the Federal Government’.

Mr Walsh said Ms Allan’s claims in media reports that Victoria had been let down by the lack of Federal Budget money to restart the project ‘couldn’t be further from the truth’. “Producers and transport stakeholders are at their wit’s end with the constant excuses from the Andrews Labor government,” he said. “The Andrews Labor government was handed a fully funded project and botched it, leaving our north-west producers and stakeholders saying they’re now worse off than when the project started. “Rumours have been circulating for months that Jacinta Allan is seeking a cheap exit strategy because her failed mismanagement had blown out the total cost of the project from $440-million to more than $1-billion. Producers and stakeholders should already be reaping the benefits of more efficient links to Melbourne’s port, but instead we’re left with a barely half-finished mess.” Mr Walsh said a Victorian Auditor-General Office report on the State Government’s handling of basin rail project found ‘completion of the MBRP was a year overdue, with more than twice the original budget now estimated as necessary to complete the project to its original approved scope’. “Ms Allan must come clean on how the Andrews government will fix its mess by releasing the revised business case for consultation,” he said. “Producers and stakeholders in north-west Victoria will never forgive the Andrews government for blowing this once-in-a-generation opportunity

to upgrade and standardise the freight rail network.” Victorian Farmers Federation, meanwhile, has claimed there is no reason for the State Government to withhold the revised business case. It added by doing so, the government risked condemning the project to years of further delays and setbacks. VFF Grains Group president Ashley Fraser said a revised business case available for farmers and industry to see was long overdue. “Minister Allan has previously said she wouldn’t release the project’s business case without the support of the Federal Government,” he said. “Given Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack’s support, we fully expect the revised business case to be released now.” The VFF has repeatedly called for the government to release details of the project. “While it’s very disappointing the project received no funding in the Federal Budget, it is fair enough for the Federal Government to expect feedback from stakeholders on the business case,” Mr Fraser said. “As a result, the Victorian government has no alternative other than to release the details of the stalled project now to ensure there’s time to scrutinise the details ahead of the State Budget. “We simply must ensure this promised project, to revitalise and standardise Victoria’s freight rail network, is delivered as planned way back in 2015. Rural Victoria is crying out for major infrastructure projects to stimulate the economy and provide much-needed local jobs. “It’s staggering to think we could be heading into 2021 without any funding on what was billed as a major project for rural Victoria. “Victorian farmers should already be experiencing the benefits of the project that was scheduled for completion in 2018.”

ON A MISSION: Ambulance Victoria Grampians regional director Tim Maywald is encouraging people to register for free online CPR training tomorrow. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Lessons go virtual to help save lives Paramedics are set to teach Wimmera residents vital life-saving techniques in a virtual event in line with annual ‘Restart a Heart Day’. How to perform CPR and use an Automatic External Defibrillator, AED, will be the focus of Ambulance Victoria’s online lessons. Grampians regional director Tim Maywald is encouraging residents to tune into the live sessions tomorrow. Mr Maywald said paramedics were on a mission to improve cardiac arrest survival rates after research revealed a 50-percent drop in survival during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’ve dubbed October ‘Shocktober’, and we’re offering all Victorians a chance to learn basic CPR and how to use an AED,” he said. “Registration is easy, free

and it’s something you can do with the family in the living room.” Mr Maywald said the more Victorians who knew CPR, how to use an AED and where they were located in their community, the more lives would be saved. “Every day, the hearts of about 18 Victorians will stop beating due to cardiac arrest, and only one in 10 of those people will survive,” he said. “The sooner someone receives CPR and defibrillation, the better their chances. “The chain of survival is simple – call, push, shock. Call triple zero, push hard and fast on the middle of the chest, and shock using an AED.” Ambulance Victoria’s Shocktober campaign also involved a donation of more than 100 AEDs across the

state. Murtoa, Halls Gap and Beulah communities were successful in receiving 24hour access AEDs. Mr Maywald said it was critical all AEDs were registered with Ambulance Victoria and publicly accessible. “When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, the triple zero call taker can direct people to the nearest AED if it is registered,” he said. “Cardiac arrests don’t just occur during business hours so we are encouraging all schools, businesses and sporting clubs to make their AEDs accessible to the community 24-7.” People can email their name and suburb to community. engagement@ambulance. vic.gov.au and Ambulance Victoria will respond with details of the online event.

Wimmera triumphs in ‘Tidy’ awards A

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

n indigenous art exhibition, solar money-saving project and railway station redevelopment were among key Wimmera triumphs in the 2020 Keep Victoria Beautiful Sustainable Communities – Tidy Towns Awards.

Horsham enjoyed three wins and a high commendation at this year’s ceremony, while a Willaura community group won recognition for an arts and culture hub along with funding for a second project. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, winners were announced at a virtual event in Beechworth on Saturday night. Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative health and wellbeing programs manager Dean O’Loughlin said the organisation was ‘very pleased’ to win the awards’ indigenous culture category for its ‘highly successful’ NAIDOC community art exhibition in July 2019. The exhibition brought together an array of community projects showcasing regional Aboriginal heritage and culture. Mr O’Loughlin said Goolum Goolum was fortunate to receive funding for the project from the Federal Government’s Indigenous Languages and Arts program. “We started putting together six to eight months of really hard work to create an extensive exhibition of local Aboriginal artists in a wide range of mediums,” he said. “We never expected it to be as big as it started out to be. In the end we had more than 60 indigenous artists represented, well over 100 pieces of work and 4300-plus people visited the exhibition – which is amazing for a small town.” Mr O’Loughlin said this year’s exhibition, originally set for July, would be revamped for

Dean O’Loughlin postponed NAIDOC Week activities in November. Goolum Goolum has also successfully won further funding to present an exhibition in 2021. Mr O’Loughlin said he enjoyed the reflective process of applying for a Tidy Town award. “It’s been a great process to be part of,” he said. “The Keep Victoria Beautiful committee does a great job, particularly in light of the conditions surrounding the pandemic.”

Energy award

Horsham Rural City Council’s Energising Communities project secured this year’s energy award. The project involved installing solar panels in three community halls throughout the municipality. The solar panels not only ‘dramatically reduced energy bills’, but surplus energy has

provided a steady income stream for the halls’ management committees. The council is planning to install solar panels at each of its community halls throughout the 2020-21 financial year. Wool buyer Zack Currie collected one of two Young Legend awards for ‘injecting new life into Horsham Agricultural Society’. Mr Currie won praise for leading and initiating events such as Horsham Show, Horsham German Fest and a New Year’s Eve family event by the Wimmera River. He was also credited with bringing ‘new and youthful’ members into the society. Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary collected a high commendation for its efforts to raise money for vital medical equipment for Wimmera Health Care Group’s hospice department. The auxiliary, which celebrated 30 years in 2019, hosts several events annually and is raising money to refurbish a palliative care room.

Willaura win

An overhaul of an historic train station has netted Willaura Modern Incorporated a Tidy Town heritage and culture award. Willaura Railway Station was the first building constructed in the town, in 1870. Over the years it fell into disrepair and was destroyed by vandals, but has been restored by

In a perfect world we’d be down at the soundshell on our rugs enjoying community fellowship. “This year, people will be able to enjoy the evening from their family home.” Mr Dandy said the aim of the event, as in past years, was to ‘ignite the Christmas spirit’. “It would be easy for us not to do something this year due to the pandemic, but it’s really important to get that Christmas spirit out there this year,” he said. “People need that pick me up. Most people have probably had a pretty ordinary year in terms of not being able to see other people or do the things they love. Especially from the performers perspective – most people wouldn’t have been able to do anything.” Artists set to perform for the event are yet to be confirmed. But Mr Dandy said there would be a mix of classical, rock and traditional Christmas performances. “There will be a wide range of performances. It should cater for a lot of different likes and tastes in the community,” he said.

Plan to ignite Christmas spirit Organisers of a traditional Christmas event in the Wimmera hope a move to take live music performances online will help bridge community connection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Horsham’s Carols by Candlelight will feature live and pre-recorded performances from Wimmera and ‘high-profile’ musicians on December 6 this year. In past years the event has been outdoors at Horsham Soundshell and involved live music and singing performances from choirs, Australian artists and school groups. Thousands of residents would head down to the Sawyer Park venue, by the Wimmera River, to enjoy the free event. Some years have attracted up to 5000 spectators. Event co-ordinator Simon Dandy said while COVID-19 restrictions would prevent a physical event going ahead this year, he encouraged people across the region to tune in for virtual performances. “Yes, it’s different to normal. But it’s going to be a great event. We’re passionate that we’re going to put something really fantastic together,” he said. “Going online has opened doors for other

a committed group of volunteers working with VicTrack, Ararat Rural City Council and Willaura Historical Society. It is now a gallery, cultural precinct and activity hub – HE(ART)BEAT of Willaura – run by Willaura Modern Incorporated, a voluntary organisation aiming to bring the town’s main street ‘back to life’. The organisation also won a gift fund award to help refurbish the old Willaura courthouse as a studio space and creative workshop area. Hastings, on the Mornington Peninsula, was crowned this year’s overall Sustainable Communities – Tidy Towns Awards winner. Horsham and Dimboola were also in the running for the top accolade. Keep Victoria Beautiful has a rich history in community reward and recognition and is best known for its long-standing Sustainable Communities – Tidy Town and Sustainable Cities awards. Since their inception in 1983, the awards have gradually moved beyond simply rewarding towns for their tidiness. Now, they focus on recognising and celebrating positive actions by communities and individuals. People can visit kvb.org.au for more information about the award and a complete winners list.

Webster: Positive outlook for region

ember for Mallee Anne Webster has joined a chorus in listing ‘a positive outlook for rural Australia’ as a key driver in an Australian economic recovery.

Dr Webster, commenting on the 2020-21 Federal Budget, said it set out a clear recovery plan. “COVID-19 initially presented us with the most severe global crisis since the Great Depression, tipping the nation into a recession for the first time in 30 years,” she said. “However, more than half of all Australian workers who have lost jobs since the start of this year are already back at work. “Our Australian way of life has been put on hold, due to this pandemic, but the economy is now fighting back because we are proud and resilient people. “We went into this crisis from a position of strength, a strength which enabled the Coalition government to commit an unprecedented $507billion – 5.6 percent of GDP – in overall economic support.” Dr Webster said that strength was due to the Coalition government having both brought the budget back into balance for the first time in 11 years and maintaining a triple-A credit rating before COVID-19 took hold. “The government is therefore now acting to recapture that momentum, to get as many people back to work and viable enterprises back to business – as soon as possible – under a sophisticated $98-billion mix of tax cuts and stimuli,” she said. “It is a monumental task, but one that gives hope to us as a nation.” Dr Webster welcomed announce-

Police striking a balance BY DYLAN DE JONG

omen are at the forefront of a new era of policing in the Wimmera and Grampians.

Earlier this year Senior Sergeant Tracy Johnston moved to the region to take on a leadership position at Horsham Police Station. She previously worked as a detective where she investigated sex offences in a ‘Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team’ in Melbourne. In her position with Horsham Police, the senior sergeant has oversight of the station and her fellow sergeants. She said after 16 years in Victoria Police she had noticed it was more common for women to be in leadership positions. “I’m used to women being in roles of leadership,” she said. “Since I joined Victoria Police, I believe it’s normal to have women in these roles.” Snr Sgt Johnston said a career in policing was always something she wanted to pursue, however, she was 33 when she tried out for the first time. “It’s been good to come to a country area and do a completely different type of work too,” she said. Horsham Inspector Dianne Thomson said she hoped Snr Sgt Johnston’s appointment would set a precedent for women living in rural areas who were interested in a career in the police force. “She will be a shining light and beacon for attracting female applicants to the country,” she said.

EQUALITY: Horsham Police senior members, from left, Acting Inspector Leigh Creasey, Senior Sergeant Tracy Johnston, Acting Senior Sergeant Mick Salter and Inspector Dianne Thomson. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “Women in the community can’t be what they can’t see. “If they don’t have role models like Tracy coming in and taking up positions, they just can’t see themselves doing it.” Ms Thomson said women had started at four 16-hour remote police stations at Kaniva, Edenhope, Nhill and Dimboola, stations traditionally staffed by men. “We didn’t have women out there before,” she said. “For all of those communities, if they had vulnerabilities or felt unsafe or too vulnerable to talk to a

male cohort, they would have very little options. “The men out there have been more than supportive too.” One police station in the Grampians region is bucking the national trend. Halls Gap Police Station Snr Sgt Karen Bain leads an allfemale crew – a first in the station’s history. “The opportunities for women in policing are a lot better than they were even a decade ago,” she said. “I’ve been in the police force for 30 years. Back then it was a male-

dominated workforce. Now we’re getting the gender balance right. “It opens a lot more doors with specific and specialised areas for women. Now there’s a lot more women trying out for these areas because they are supported by women above them.” The team of three, including Leading Senior Constable Kelly Harris and Senior Constable Sarah Bartorelli, have a strong focus on co-ordinating high-angle rope rescues to locate lost hikers and injured climbers throughout the tourist destination.

Silo progress on camera Cameras are capturing giant silo artworks in West Wimmera Shire for showcasing in real time online. Artists are painting GrainCorp silos at Kaniva and Goroke as part of a new silo art project in the shire. Artist Geoffrey Carran has been busy painting birds on the silos at Goroke, while Melbourne artist David Lee Pereira is working on a falcon and flowers on the Kaniva silos. New weather-proof, live-streaming cameras have been set up at both sites to capture the action. The cameras take a photo every few minutes and automatically upload the images online. West Wimmera Shire Council chief executive David Leahy said the technology was a great way for people to keep in touch with how the murals were progressing. “In these uncertain times, people aren’t travelling around as freely as they used to,” he said. “These cameras mean people can keep in touch with these exciting projects in West Wimmera Shire, without having to leave their home. “However, photos really don’t do these amazing projects justice, so we hope tourists will still come and see the new artworks in person once they are able to.” Mr Leahy said people could view feed from the live cameras at www.westwimmera.vic. gov.au/Council/Projects/Silo-Art-Trail. The council has organised the project on behalf of the community, which was successful in winning funding through the State Government’s Pick My Project campaign. The council has advised that anyone planning on visiting the sites to see painting in action must abide by all safety measures in place, including exclusion zones.

Shining a light on ‘shattering’ loss E

“Absolutely nothing prepares a woman to find out they are pregnant and then find out that they are not. It is a shattering experience”

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ach year, 106,000 Australian babies lose their lives to miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn death.

While the topic is no longer ‘taboo’, many parents who lose a baby at any stage still feel isolated in their grief. When a celebrity speaks out about a devastating loss – such as American television personality and model Chrissy Teigen did last month – they are often chastised for thrusting a private matter into the public eye. But although these responses continue to perpetuate stigma surrounding the early loss of a child, they are often drowned out by women sharing their own heartbreaking stories in solidarity. Tomorrow night at 7pm, bereaved parents, families, friends and healthcare workers will light a candle to honour all loved and longed-for babies gone too soon. The ‘international wave of light’ coincides with Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, on October 15. Wimmera Health Care Group nurse-midwife unit manager Michelle Coutts is encouraging bereaved families to engage in activities to honour and acknowledge their babies. She said while the COVID-19 pandemic had halted traditional ‘walk to remember’ and face-to-face activities, people could still participate in a range of virtual events. Mrs Coutts said there was a range of online resources aimed at helping families through the hardest of times, including SANDS Australia, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Australia, The Pink

WAVE OF LIGHT: Tomorrow night at 7pm, bereaved parents, families, friends and healthcare workers around the world will light a candle to honour all loved and longed-for babies gone too soon. Elephants Network and Red Nose Australia. She said support services played a vital role following a loss, regardless of when the loss occurred. “When a baby dies or a miscarriage or stillbirth occurs, families need empathy, validation and connection at a time when their world has fallen apart,” she said. “COVID has supercharged the need for women to access support online due to being isolated from loved ones they would normally see.

“Some support organisations are reporting a 60 percent increase in the number of requests for help during COVID-19; much of this is because face-to-face consultations with healthcare professionals has been affected by virus restrictions.” Australia remains one of the safest countries in which to give birth, yet despite advances in medicine and increased awareness of antenatal risk factors, one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage. A miscarriage is usually defined as a

loss of a baby before 20 weeks’ gestation and is the most common form of pregnancy loss. A stillbirth is the death of a baby who has died at any time from 20 weeks’ gestation through to their due date. Mrs Coutts said while attitudes and behaviours surrounding pregnancy loss had come a long way, there was still a long way to go. “Absolutely nothing prepares a woman to find out they are pregnant and then find out that they are not. It is a shattering experience,” she said.

– Michelle Coutts

“Miscarriage and infant loss is such an isolating experience and the grief felt is often so overwhelming that women don’t talk about it because they might feel that nobody understands what they are going through. “It’s important women get help and share their stories of loss in a safe space. “One day their story of what they overcame will become someone else’s survival guide.” Mrs Coutts said she understood it could be difficult for a friend or family member to know what to say to a parent who had lost a baby. “It is a deeply personal and tragic experience, but if I can give some advice, I would say talk about them,” she said. “Talk about the baby and say their name if they have one. “Parents want to talk about their babies – not because they are stuck or because they are struggling to re-create their lives given their grief – but because they are parents of a baby who is not here anymore and no passage of time will ever change that.” People can visit sands.org.au for more information about pregnancy loss, including support services and tomorrow night’s online Victorian Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Service.

FEELING IT: Wimmera artists Fred Wallace, left, and Matthew McLoughlin have been busy exploring their creativity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Artists showcase feelings in work A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

virtual art exhibition will showcase Wimmera artists’ work to help promote positive mental health during the COVID19 pandemic. Uniting Wimmera has teamed up with artists from the region to put on the exhibition during Mental Health Week, which started on Saturday. Wimmera-based artists’ work will feature on the service provider’s Facebook page and at its Baillie Street office. The art show, in its fifth year, features the work of artists with lived mental health experience. Matthew McLoughlin has dedicated many hours to exploring his creativity during the pandemic. He said the process of making art was a major boost to his wellbeing during stage-three lockdown in regional Victoria. “It’s very relaxing and very therapeutic. Especially with the whole world situation, it’s given me something to do,” he said. “I can’t get away and do anything at the moment, so I’ve put in a lot of time and money just focusing on art.” Show organiser Paul Dickerson said the exhibition’s theme was ‘Speak Your Mind’ – to encourage artists to express their feelings, thoughts and stories through their art.

“Many of the artists share what inspired them alongside their creations,” he said. “This year we are overwhelmed with the quality of the art from 19 contributors. “We have some amazing art canvasses, sculptures and for the first time we have a range of indigenous pieces thanks to Goolum Goolum collaborating with us this year. “The work is truly outstanding and we thank the artists for continuing to raise awareness around mental health in rural communities.” Uniting Wimmera executive officer Josh Koenig said the exhibition provided a unique opportunity for people to express themselves and share their experiences. “It’s important to continue to talk frankly about mental health and share our stories, particularly during these difficult times,” he said. “At Uniting we provide ongoing support for Wimmera people who experience mental illness through a range of programs that build capacity and engagement. We enable people to reach their recovery goals.” Different pieces will be posted online each day during Mental Health Week, which finishes on Saturday. People who need support with their mental health can call Uniting Wimmera on 1800 195 114.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN FOR AUSTRALIA The Liberal and Nationals Government’s Economic Recovery Plan will work to repair our economy, recover from the pandemic and grow our regional communities. Health and Hospitals

Tax relief for workers More than 11 million taxpayers will get a tax cut backdated to 1 July this year.

We’re delivering $18.6 million for Border Oncology Research Unit’s ReVITALISE project at Mildura.

Lower and middle-income earners will, this year, receive tax relief of up to $2,745 compared with 2017-18.

Mildura Base Hospital will host clinical trials thanks to a grant offered by the Liberal and Nationals Government.

The changes mean more than 7 million Australians will receive tax relief of $2,000 or more this year.

This will provide funding for new approaches to improve clinical trial infrastructure and to extend clinical trials. This means regional patients will be able to participate in research that makes a real difference in the future of Australia’s health.

You will have more money in your pocket, and this will help local businesses and create 50,000 new jobs.

Local Roads and Community Infrastructure - $17 million for Mallee Councils

Kick starting investment To unlock investment, the Liberal and Nationals Government is building on the successful Instant Asset Write Off.

Our community-led recovery plan empowers local governments to deliver roads and community infrastructure throughout Mallee. Local councils will receive $17 million to build shovelready local priorities, supporting local jobs and local business. This investment, together with the new Road Safety Program will support around 10,000 jobs over the life of the projects and I look forward to local businesses benefiting from this investment.

Over 99% of businesses will be able to write off the full value of any eligible asset they purchase for their business. This will be available for small, medium and larger businesses with a turnover of up to $5 billion until June 2022.

JobMaker Hiring Credit

Building Better Regions Fund Recent rainfall has resulted in the best start to a winter cropping season in a long time and the forecasts are for above average rainfall and therefore bumper crops. That said, the effect of the long dry spell are and will be felt for many months if not years to come. We have seen great outcomes from the first three rounds of the BBRF and the Budget’s announcement will build on that by funding critical local infrastructure projects throughout our community.

The JobMaker hiring credit will be payable for up to twelve months and be immediately available to employers who hire those on JobSeeker aged 16-35. It will be paid at the rate of $200 per week for those aged under 30, and $100 per week for those aged between 30-35.

Investing in skills and training The Liberal and Nationals Government has also committed $2.8 billion to protect 180,000 apprenticeships and trainees.

In addition, $22.7 million will be invested in Round Six of the Stronger Communities Programme, which provides grants of between $2,500 and $20,000 across the country to community organisations and local governments for small capital projects that deliver social benefits for local communities

This Budget commits an additional $1.2 billion to create 100,000 new apprenticeships and traineeships, with a 50% wage subsidy for businesses who employ them. Regions win in this budget with funds to connect job seekers to local employment opportunities. New cadetships and apprenticeships are being provided for women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Budget wins approval from farmers V

ictoria’s peak farming body is confident an agricultural focus in this year’s Federal Budget will equip the industry to help lead Australia to economic recovery.

“We applaud the $17.4-million invested to provide $6000 grants to help workers to immediately relocate to regional areas to fill the estimated 26,000 vacant jobs. “It’s good news for farmers and the industry with the investment for Australians to pursue careers in agriculture and the wage subsidy for employers to help employ young unemployed workers on farms.” Mr Jochinke said farmers would welcome $50-million in funding for ‘the popular’ Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme, but for farmers to benefit the State Government needed to match the federal funding. “The single most important asset to farmers is water and we’re pleased to see the $2-billion commitment in

Victorian Farmers Federation president and Wimmera farmer David Jochinke said farmers were generally satisfied with key spending commitments to help young Australians work in agriculture and for important water infrastructure. But he said a disappointment was neglect of a Murray Basin Rail Project. “At a time of great uncertainty and instability across Australia, agriculture continues to be an industry for growth as demonstrated by this commitment in the budget,” he said.

grants to build new pipelines, weirs and dams,” he said. Mr Jochinke said while funding to boost regional telecommunications was welcome, this needed to be the start of further substantial funding for the regions. “Regional communications and connectivity is an essential service and an enormous issue in the country,” he said. “Issues such as lack of phone coverage and internet availability is a big barrier facing modern agriculture that the government must fix.” He said VFF, in its disappointment in the ‘persistent disregard’ for the Murray Basin Rail Project, continued a call for the release of a business case.

“For the Murray Basin Rail Project to miss out on funding is incredibly disappointing,” he said. “The onus is now on the Victorian government to show leadership and commit to funding the project as promised as we enter its sixth year of construction. “The Victorian government has found billions of dollars to fund cost overruns for metro projects, so we are disappointed it did not put a proposal to the Federal Government meeting the normal 80-20 infrastructure funding split.” Mr Jochinke said other key budget announcements involving agriculture were – • $328-million congestion-busting package for agricultural exporters;

• $1.5-billion Modern Manufacturing Package, including a focus on food and beverage and in tackling supply chain vulnerabilities; • $36.6-million to continue the statutory review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act; • Confirmation of $250.7-million for fuel security aimed at increasing onshore diesel storage by 40 percent; • $269.6-million for the Murray Darling Communities investment package; • $95.4-million for further soil carbon research and methodology; • $31.5-million to improve agvet-chem access and approvals; and • Expanded instant asset write-off scheme.

Citizen award online West Wimmera Shire Council will host an online celebration to announce its 2020 Senior Citizen of the Year award. The council traditionally presents the award at the shire’s annual Seniors Concert in October but this year’s event has been postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions. The award recognises an ‘unsung’ hero in West Wimmera Shire. Council chief executive David Leahy said the award ceremony would be an online event on October 29 at 11am. “The council is inviting all of our seniors to register their intention to join in the live stream,” he said. People can RSVP by calling council on 13 99 72 or email amanda munn@westwimmera.vic.gov.au. RSVPs are due by October 21.

SILLY SOCKS AND HELPING HANDS: Horsham McDonald’s team members, from left, Shaun Longstaff, Tom Heard and Melody Chilton get behind McHappy Day. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Helping hand for families in need Wimmera and Grampians McDonald’s restaurants are throwing support behind the organisation’s largest annual fundraiser to help provide a ‘home away from home’ for families of ill or injured children. Residents will be able to support McHappy Day by picking up a pair of ‘silly socks’ or a ‘helping hand’ at their nearest McDonald’s or via McDelivery from October 21. All money raised through McHappy Day will go towards Ronald McDonald House Charity, which helps

accommodate families of seriously ill and injured children being treated at nearby hospitals. McDonald’s Horsham licensee Richard Harris said the money played a vital role in helping the charity keep thousands of families together when they needed it most. “The funds raised through this campaign are crucial in helping Ronald McDonald House Charities continue to keep families together while their seriously ill or injured child undergoes treatment,” he said. “We’re calling on Horsh-

In Victoria alone, Ronald McDonald House Charities helps more than 2402 families annually.” Additionally, $2 from every Big Mac sold on Saturday, November 14 will also go to the charity. Hollywood actress and businesswoman Eva Mendes, who has starred in Hitch, The Other Guys and Ghost Rider, will take on the role of McHappy Day 2020 Ambassador. Mendes will host virtual meet and greets with families

currently staying at Ronald McDonald House. She said although unable to visit Australia due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, she would be encouraging Australians to get behind the cause. “I am really proud to be the 2020 ambassador for McHappy Day,” she said. “As a mum, I couldn’t imagine being away from my children when they need me most, so I feel so honoured to be involved in such an important campaign.”

Restraint of trade

hen you are running a business, it is a good idea to consider how your business would be affected if a key employee moves on and how best to protect yourself from the negative impact of the departure.

But how do you do that, and, if you are an employee, what does that mean for you? Businesses can protect their interests by including restraint-of-trade clauses in employee contracts. For employees, this means knowing from the outset what the conditions are if they move on and ensuring the employment agreement they enter into is fair. Restraint of trade clauses commonly include confidentiality and non-compete clauses. A confidentiality clause prevents an employee from disclosing or using the business’s information in another business, while a non-compete prevents an employee from entering or starting a similar profession or trade in competition with the business, as their former employer. The effectiveness of these clauses depends on the individual circumstances. In considering whether to enforce the restraint-of-trade clause, the courts will weigh up a number of competing interests. This includes the employer’s interests in protecting confidential information, customer connections and other legitimate business interests, plus the employee’s ability to earn a living using their skills,

THE LAW with Patrick Smith, LL.B. (Hons) B. Int. St., B.Ec., GDLP

experience and know how, along with the public interest in freedom of trade and competition. Many restraint clauses are void due to the unreasonable nature or scope of the clause. To be upheld, the clauses must be shown to protect an employer’s legitimate interest, that it does so reasonably and that the enforcement of the clause would not be contrary to the public interest. This assessment is based on the situation when the contract was entered into, including the activities restrained, duration and geographical area covered by the clause. For example, if a clause seeks to stifle competition, it typically will not be enforced. Rather, the business needs to be able to identify a specific business interest which reasonably requires the protection of the restraint clause. Other important considerations include an employee’s skill and experience, whether information is, in fact, confidential, and whether the parties were on an equal footing in negotiating the provisions. What is considered reasonable will vary according to the circumstance. There is one other way a restraintof-trade or post-employment restraint could be considered by the court. It might be found that the

clause seeks to protect a legitimate interest, but the terms are too broad. In this instance, a court might seek to save part of the clause by severing invalid parts. This ruling can only occur if the court can remove the invalid parts, leaving a clause that is self-contained and enforceable. The process of enforcing a restraint of trade can involve initiating urgent court proceedings to obtain an injunction – a type of court order – prohibiting the employee from undertaking the activity identified in the restraint. As a business owner seeking to protect your interests, restraint clauses can offer some protection. However, the wording of the clauses and scope is important. Seeking legal advice can help ensure they could be upheld in court. If you are an employee, consider the clauses included in your employment contract. They could mean serious restriction of your future occupational opportunities. On this basis, you might wish to seek independent legal advice prior to signing. • Patrick Smith is the principal of O’Brien & Smith Lawyers. This article is intended to be used as a guide only.

BACK IN ACTION: Dimboola SES deputy controller Caleb Baldock and team member Daniel Howard are happy to get back into face-to-face training.

Critical timing for training A Wimmera emergency officer has described a return to face-to-face training as ‘critical’ as the likelihood of unpredictable wet weather increases for the warmer months. A surge of dedicated Wimmera State Emergency Services volunteers are set to get back into their regional stations for face-to-face training this month, following restrictions to all but ‘essential training’ during August and September to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19. Dimboola deputy controller Lauren Hawkins said training would focus on flood preparedness. Bureau of Meteorology’s seasonal rain outlook for October to December shows a high likelihood to exceed median rainfall across the state, with a greater than 80 percent chance across Grampians, Hume and Loddon Mallee regions. “Our critical, essential training is brushing up on our skills in prepared-

ness of the predicted spring weather and above average rain,” Ms Hawkins said. “As VICSES is the control agency for storm and flood, we need to ensure we are ready to respond and are able to prepare our local community through education and resources.” Ms Hawkins said team members were able to start training at the weekend. “It was great to get back. We have strict protocols we are required to follow which includes the safety of our members and social distancing, practicing good hygiene and limiting the number of people attending training,” she said. Deputy controller Caleb Baldock said during COVID-19 restrictions, crews could only complete training for road crash rescues. He said the easing of restrictions would help new members progress further into training that was put on hold because of the pandemic. – Dylan De Jong

Opportunity for emerging leaders L

eadership Wimmera is preparing a reinvigorated community leadership program for 2021.

Expressions of interest for the program opened last week and organisers say there is no better time to invest – in yourself and the community. It comes after a challenging 2020 year. Leadership Wimmera quickly transitioned participants to online learning and ensured that supporting the development of emerging leaders continued during a vital period. Program manager Jessica Grimble said strong community leaders were vital, especially during a crisis. “And there is none more poignant than COVID-19,” she said. “Participants in our 2021 program can equip themselves with the tools they and their communities need to navigate the impacts of COVID-19 – by rallying others, building resilience and with innovative thinking.” The 10-month Leadership Wimmera program offers blended and experiential learning opportunities. Participants will put learned leadership fundamentals into practice through working on codesigned community projects. The program weaves education about the region and regional priorities into program sessions and project development. “Leadership Wimmera has a proven record for excellence in leadership development, and plans for 2021 take the program to the next level,” Ms Grimble said. “Participants will learn more about themselves and their communities and from different per-

spectives. By investing in their own learning and development, they can become effective, impactful and innovative leaders.” Learnings through Leadership Wimmera’s community leadership program continue following the initial 10-month program – with graduates becoming members of its Graduate Network and accessing opportunities that support lifelong learning. These have included training in governance, communications and public speaking, and seminars on topics such as resilience, community leadership, engagement and change management throughout 2020. Wimmera Development Association oversees Leadership Wimmera, which started in 2002 and has supported the development of almost 600 emerging leaders in the Wimmera and southern Mallee. It is one of nine community leadership programs across regional Victoria. With support from Regional Leadership Australia, Leadership Wimmera and its sister programs collaborated to host learning opportunities such as a virtual Federal Parliament education session with ministers and key staffers last month. The collaboration – which has grown during this year’s pandemic response – also opened opportunities to share ideas among executive officers and program managers and promote learning opportunities for the benefit of local programs. • People wanting to register their interest for the 2021 Leadership Wimmera program can go to website www.wda.org.au/leadership-wimmera.

building would encourage more residents to get involved in community groups, clubs and volunteering opportunities. “We really struggle for people who want to get involved in our clubs and groups in the community,” he said. Mr Maybery said before upgrades started, the pavilion had remained untouched since it was built in the early 1980s. He said the building had a leaking roof, pest animals and outdated kitchen and all were in ‘desperate need’ of an upgrade. “The kitchen is being upgraded first as part of a two-stage project – it will look like a proper industrial kitchen when it is finished,” he said. “When something gets to 40 years old it’s quite dated. We’ve tried to do this for years and years, but we just didn’t have the money.” Natimuk show society secretary Judith Bysouth said she believed the Federal Government was committed to seeing agricultural shows continue to thrive and be enjoyed for generations to come. She said she anticipated the pavilion and the kitchen upgrades to be completed by 2021. – Dylan De Jong

Community leaders hope upgrades to a multipurpose building at Natimuk Showground will help breathe new life into the community. Earlier this year Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society received a $499,000 Federal Government injection to go towards a major upgrade of the town’s pavilion. The money has allowed the society to move forward with a major kitchen re-fit, roof, ceiling lining, air-conditioning and carpet at the town’s agricultural and pastoral society pavilion. Showground committee of management president Travis Maybery said the upgrades would further cement the pavilion’s position as a community hub in Natimuk. He said the works would make the space more inviting for the wider community to hire it for meetings, weddings, funerals and birthday parties. “About seven user groups – tennis, football, Men’s Shed, historical and show societies, school and kindergarten – are all pavilion user groups,” he said. “It’s more than just a community meet-up area, everything happens there.” Mr Maybery said he hoped upgrades to the

Turning heads for health BY DYLAN DE JONG

n ‘electric blue’ bulldozer travelling down the Hume Highway is bound to turn a few heads. But that is exactly the point.

Former Horsham resident Gavin Rogers painted his caterpillar D6 dozer and put it on the back of a truck to make a 3500km round trip to Brisbane and back to Melbourne – all for mental health awareness. Mr Rogers was keen to raise money for Beyond Blue with a focus on mental health in the construction industry. He said his experience seeing his brother Nigel grappling with serious depression inspired him to make a difference. “The main driver was helping Nigel through a tough time,” he said. “He got into a pretty dark place. I was lucky enough to help him through that and now we continue on the journey of life together. “I just wanted to create some awareness on the ground and get a conversation started.” Mr Rogers’ machinery hire company GR Dirtworx teamed up with heavy machinery auctioneers Ritchie Brothers and Natik to help transport the dozer to Brisbane. In late September, the dozer was transported back to its home base in Melbourne after making pitstops in Newcastle and south of Albury. “We just want to get people talking about mental health,” Mr Rogers said. “We’ve had some pretty good feedback over the past two weeks –

SPREADING THE WORD: Gavin Rogers hopes to turn heads and spark conversation by painting his bulldozer bright blue in recognition of mental health organisation Beyond Blue. it’s sparking a lot of conversations with people I don’t even know.” He said the machine would now be helping to raise money for mental health. For every hour the machine works, $2 will be donated to mental health and wellbeing support organisation Beyond Blue. “Now it will do some work around Melbourne and be raising money at the same time,” Mr Rogers said. “The date it got painted was the

day we started donating back to Beyond Blue.” Mr Rogers said he wanted to boost awareness in an industry that was often less likely to talk about mental health. “People really struggle to find people to talk to about it. I’ve worked on construction sites in Melbourne for a few years and there’s not much awareness of mental health in this industry,” he said. “Life is too short not to talk about

it, but it is hard to take the first step. With the dozer, I wanted to help people take that initial step and start the conversation with somebody, whether that’s reaching out to a colleague, friend or a family member.” Nigel said conversations with friends and family about sport, daily routines or ‘normal bloke talk’ was what got him through his darkest days. “Life is tough, but life can also be awesome,” he said.

Training and career options Horsham is among rural and regional centres the State Government plans to include in a rollout of programs to help students considering post-school employment and study options. Education Minister James Merlino said programs would operate in line with coronavirus restrictions and include places such as Horsham, Gippsland, Ballarat, Bendigo, Mildura, Shepparton, Wangaratta and Warrnambool. “We’re closing the gap between the country and the city – giving country students access to support, information and opportunities that allow them to pursue higher education and training needed for the jobs of the future,” he said. “These programs are just one way we’re helping regional and rural students reach their full potential and aspirations.” The government will invest $3.5-million into six programs aimed at exposing students to training and career options for jobs in industries relevant to regional communities and beyond – including agriculture, trades and high-tech STEM industries. Program activities might involve visits to workplaces, TAFES, universities and research organisations such as Australian science agency CSIRO. Mr Merlino said the scheme would also involve establishing a mentor network to provide practical advice on job skills as well as information and guidance about what it is like to work in an industry or profession. Students will also have opportunities to attend workshops and panel discussions led by industry experts. Organisations providing the programs are Ardoch, Baw Baw Latrobe Local Learning and Employment Network, CQUniversity Australia, Gippsland East Local Learning and Employment Network, Swinburne University of Technology – KIOSC and Country Education Partnership.

Superb Sportline Along with the re-introduction of the Sportline, Skoda has also announced the return of the Superb Scout

koda has re-introduced the Sportline variant to its Superb large sedan and wagon line-up, following a forced absence due to WLTP-related production restrictions, with the new range-topping variant checking in at $60,390 plus on-road costs for the sedan.

The wagon, meanwhile, asks $62,090, with both grades increasing their recommended retail price by $3100 in exchange for what the brand describes as $3400 of extra standard equipment. Skoda says the Superb Sportline

gains a raft of new features including matrix LED headlights, dynamic rear indicators, rear-door keyless entry and start, Skoda welcome logo, predictive pedestrian detection, virtual cockpit digital instrument cluster, Columbus infotainment system, new steering wheel, wireless Apple CarPlay and phone charging and extended side assist. No changes have been made to the Superb Sportline’s engine, a 2.0litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine developing 206kW-350Nm, driving all four wheels via a six-speed dualclutch automatic transmission.

Along with the re-introduction of the Sportline, Skoda has also announced the soft-road wagon Superb Scout variant will be returning in 2021, having originally planned to be offered as a limited-edition grade. The Scout is distinguished from the outside by its 15mm-taller ride height and black cladding around the bumpers, skirts and wheelarches, and asks $61,990, representing an increase of $2500. Like the Sportline, Skoda Australia says it has added $2900 of extra value to the Scout to offset the price increase, with new equipment including

a three-spoke, flat-bottom sports steering wheel, Columbus infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and a detachable towbar. The Scout features a braked towing capacity of 2200kg. It is powered by the same engine as the Sportline, however the fitment of a petrol particulate filter reduces peak power slightly to 200kW. Options for the two new models include a panoramic sunroof for $1900 and metallic paint for $770, while different alloy wheel and upholstery options can be chosen. The more affordable 162TSI sedan

and wagon grades will also be reintroduced in the first quarter of next year, with pricing and spec to be announced soon. With its reduced stock levels in Australia, Skoda has only managed to sell 184 examples of the Superb to the end of September 2020, marking a 75.2 percent reduction over the 743 managed to the same point in 2019. Overall Skoda sales in 2020 have taken a 13.7 percent hit with 4534 units, less than the overall market downturn of 20.5 percent. – Robbie Wallis

says Australia is Fiat Chrysler Automobile’s second biggest V8 market outside of America, meaning the SRT and especially the Trackhawk were important vehicles for the local arm.

“We’re excited to provide even more customer value to what is already the best-value, track-ready SUV in the market,” he said. Infotainment duties are taken care

Priced from $139,950 plus on-road costs, Jeep’s ballistic family hauler has come in for a refresh in the leadup to 2021 with the hi-po high-rider being treated to a few cosmetic enhancements, new high-performance rubber, interior tweaks and updated infotainment system. Powered by the same supercharged 6.2-litre Hemi V8 petrol engine as before, the Trackhawk is capable of darting from 0-100kmh in 3.7 seconds with power sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. On the topic of wheels, they are in fact where the bulk of the Trackhawk’s visual changes have been made, with the new model brandishing black 20inch alloys wrapped in sticky Pirelli P-Zero 3 Season tyres. When paired with the new Signature Laguna leather wrapped interior package – seats, lower panels and door trim – Jeep says customers are scoring more than $13,000 of value included in the $5000 price increase over the outgoing model. Jeep Australia director of brand and product strategy Guillaume Drelon

formance functions including timers, gauges and readouts including a new engine ‘dynamometer’ display that measures instant power and torque figures as well as a gear position indicator. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included, while the other standard equipment highlights include launch control, performance oriented SelecTrack drive mode system, yellow Brembo brake callipers, Trackhawk, Hemi 6.2 and Supercharged badging, red seat belts, adaptive dampers and an electronically locking rear differential. Despite the blatantly obvious sporting intention of the Trackhawk, Jeep says the performance flagship can tow up to 2900kg braked and has fitted it with a new trailer hitch camera for drivers to monitor their loads. Standard safety kit meanwhile extends to forward collision warning plus, lane departure warning plus, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection and advanced brake assist. Jeep Australia has sold 1889 Grand Cherokees so far this year ending September, accounting for three percent of the crowded sub-$70,000 large SUV segment. – Callum Hunter

Hyundai teases finished i20 N

yundai Motor Company has given the world its first proper teaser images of the upcoming i20 N with the little hi-po light hatch tipped to arrive Down Under in the first half of next year.

Adorned in the now signature Performance Blue paint job, the two teaser images actually reveal just about all of the i20 N’s key styling features, with the overall look being dominated by sharp angles and bold contour lines. The first image has been captured from the side and shows the front wings, side of the front bumper, wheels and forward half of the front door. Inspired by the i20 WRC car, the i20 N brandishes far more intimidating lines than its bigger i30 N sibling despite its diminutive size. Flared wheelarches, a subtly bulging bonnet, aggressive 18-inch alloy wheels and gaping front intakes immediately catch the eye, as do the contrasting red chin, brake callipers and side skirts. The second image is an amalgamation of two shots showing a hint of the front end, flanks and rear end. Here we see more of the same in terms of sharp angles and contours as well as our first proper look at the LED head, fog and daytime run-

LEAN AND MEAN: The i20 N might be smaller than the i30 N but looks to boast a whole lot more visual menace.

ning lights, complemented neatly by matching tail-lights at the rear. For an added hint of aggression, the roof, A, B and C-pillars are finished in ‘Phantom Black’ for what will be an optional two-tone finish. While not overly clear in the images,

Hyundai Motor Company says the i20 will also come with a roof-mounted spoiler adding yet more visual menace while also boosting aerodynamics. With powertrain details still to be confirmed, the common consensus is the i20 N will be powered by a tick-

led-up version of the Hyundai Group’s existing turbocharged 1.6-litre fourcylinder petrol as found in the i30 N-Line and Kia Cerato GT. Transmission duties thus far are being left to a six-speed manual although it remains to be seen if a dual-

clutch self-shifter will be introduced in the future. Hyundai Motor Company Australia has shifted 45,219 new vehicles so far this year ending September, 21,270 units down on the same time last year. – Callum Hunter

(February 20 - March 20)

Lucky Colour: Red, Lucky day: Thursday Racing numbers: 3.5.4.1, Lotto numbers: 13.15.29.34.40.11 Don’t rush into anything during this period; your judgment is not up to par. If you are having a romantic interlude, now is the time to make the affair a permanent arrangement. You may become involved with family squabbles. Others might not be very interested in your ideas. Be tactful for now and they will come around. Travelling does not seem like a good idea just now.

Answers: 1. D. 14-million tonnes. This is more than double the amount of plastic pollution estimated to be on the ocean surface. 2. They are robot ‘rovers’ that have the job of gathering data on Mars. 3. Onion weed. It has become naturalised across much of temperate Australia. 4. A tiny Australian bird of the family Pardalotidae that usually inhabits tree canopies feeding on lerps and other bugs. There are several varieties and many call the Wimmera home. 5. Eddie Van Halen from the rock band Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen provided the solo, which is now a key identifiable part of the song, free of charge. 6. Afghan Express. The Ghan name is in reference to the 19th Century Afghan camel drivers involved in Australian exploration. 7. Domesticated wheat – Triticum. Archaeological evidence suggests cultivation started several thousands of years BC in countries such as Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, the Levant, Israel, Egypt and Ethiopia. 8. In their calves. They are the only birds that have calf muscles. They can also sprint at 50kmh over long distances, leap more than two metres in the air and are good swimmers. Males have responsibility of looking after eggs and young for up to 18 months. 9. Australian or Nankeen kestrels. Kestrels can see ultra-violet light, allowing them to see ‘invisible’ scent and urine trails and helping them track prey. 10. Lycopene. Benefits of the antioxidant remain open for scientific debate, but considerable research points to eating tomatoes and in turn lycopene, which the body absorbs best via cooking and mixed with oil, can help prevent prostate cancer.

TIME (leading to full time)

As I write, this, I have just delivered Show bags of activities to Families during the school holidays. Some days when I do this, I don’t see anyone, and leave them at the door. But this week, someone ‘just happened’ to be bringing the washing in and we said G’day. Another person saw me coming to the door, and we caught up. While I was waiting at the door, another person arrived home in their car. Yet another couple were out in their front door, where usually the gates are closed. And still another family weren’t home, but I saw them in another location later. And yet another family I also saw! One minute earlier or later and some of those people I would not have seen. Lucky coincidence? Good timing? Or a moment of grace? Things I would not have recognised, thought of as happy circumstance or brushed over, I now recognise as a God-given moment. Of right timing. And I am grateful. And it reminds me that God is with us in life, even in the small things; we often just don’t realise it. I invite us all to tune into those special moments, opportunities or things that ‘just happen’, to reflect on them and consider their impact. The more we recognise God at work in the world, the more we will see it and be able to give thanks.

Experience in this field would be preferred but is not essential. If you would like to be part of the Bailey team, please contact 03 5398 2096, email resume to sales@baileymade.com.au or call in with your resume to see Beetle and Matt, to discuss the job in more detail.

Strong showing at Horsham Athletics back T

BY LEN BAKER

he Kangaroo Flat-training and driving team of Kate Hargreaves and Alex Ashwood dominated Horsham’s harnessrace meeting, taking out three of the six events on the program. Aldebaran Sundown started the stable’s trio of wins in a trotters handicap. The four-year-old gelding stepped away safely from the pole draw and Ashwood allowed the square-gaiter to find his rhythm before easing away from the pegs to race outside the leader Eoghan Omaille for the majority of the 2200-metre journey. Aldebaran Sundown raced clear of the field down the home straight and scored by nine metres from Downtown Miss – Denbeigh Wade – with the favourite Love The Aces – Michael Bellman – another six metres astern in third place. Three-year-old filly Roquefort Cheese gave the stable its second victory for the day, proving much too good for the older horses in a 1700-metre pace. Sent forward from gate five to steadily work to the front of affairs at the bell, Roquefort Cheese kept them running in the final lap and cruised home to score by four metres from Tinge Of Fear – Jackie Barker – with a similar gap to the

third placegetter, Irishmurphy – Rod Barker. Former New Zealander then South Australian pacer Bottle Rock completed the triangle when much too slick for his rivals in a pace. After beginning swiftly from gate four to cross Kempseys Delight – Denbeigh Wade – Bottle Rock was rated to perfection and went on to score by four metres from Kempseys Delight, which used the sprint lane to no avail, with Ideal T J – Aaron Dunn – battling on for third. Leading owners Merv and Meg Butterworth were successful with the Grant Campbell trained and driven former Kiwi pacer Duty Bound in the HRV $11K for Prostate Cancer Pace over 1700 metres in a rate of 1:57.6. Campbell restrained his charge from gate six and settled three back in the running line for the first lap. He then secured a three-wide trail on the back of Ghanasuya – Xavier O’Connor – to be up in the action rounding the final bend. Eased four-wide on straightening, Duty Bound finished at the rate of knots to score by a half-neck in 1:57.6. The Great Western team made it a double when the Kerryn Manning-trained and driven four-yearold gelding Valiente got the judge’s nod to salute in a pace.

GOOD RUN: Great Western horseman Grant Campbell returns to the barn with four-year-old gelding Duty Bound after taking out the HRV $11K for Prostate Cancer Pace at Horsham Racing Centre. Picture: TONY LOGAN Since being purchased from NSW by The Dreamers Syndicate, Valiente has notched up five wins from seven starts. After finishing third in the opening event at Horsham, Bellman made a quick drive across to Bendigo to partner Jazspur in the first on the card. The three-year-old filly galloped shortly after the start and was some

30 metres from the leaders before finding her gait and tacking on to the tail of the field. When the bell sounded, Bellman took Jazspur up three wide and in an impressive performance the young trotter rounded them up to score by two metres in a rate of 2:04.1 for the 2150 metre journey. Jazspur is raced by her Ararat breeders, Gary and Tracey Hull.

Horsham Little Athletic Centre will kick off its 2020-21 season with a ‘come and try’ session today. The event, for potential new members, will be at Dudley Cornell Park from 5.15pm. Returning members will resume activities the following Wednesday, also at 5.15pm. Little Athletics is designed to help teach children fundamental motor skills in a fun environment. President Nigel Binney encouraged young people aged five to 15 to consider signing up. “The committee’s been busy planning and getting our track marked so we’re ready to go,” he said. “There’s a real feeling of excitement now.” Mr Binney said the committee had made several changes to comply with Little Athletics Victoria COVID-19 protocols for regional Victoria. “We made a few changes so we meet COVID-19 safety requirements, like disinfecting equipment and limiting group size,” he said. “It’s just a new challenge. It won’t stop us having another great season.” Mr Binney said parental involvement was one of the ‘great things about Little Aths’. “In fact, they are absolutely essential,” he said. “When everyone helps out, it makes for a really enjoyable season.” People can register for the Horsham Little Athletics season online at website lavic.com.au or call Jenna on 0438 034 900 or email horsham lac@gmail.com for more information. – Sarah Matthews

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Girls drafted to elite ranks W

immera footballers Maggie Caris and Isabella Simmons have joined the sport’s elite ranks after being picked up by Melbourne in this year’s AFLW draft.

The Demons selected Caris, a decorated Horsham Saints netballer, with pick 17, and her Greater Western Victoria Rebels team-mate Simmons, of Stawell, with pick 48. Caris, 17, who attends Ballarat Grammar, said she ‘didn’t know what to think’ when her name was called out online last week. “It’s really exciting, I’m still coming to terms with it,” she told The Weekly Advertiser during the draft. “It’s all a bit crazy – a whirlwind – but I’m looking forward to heading to play with Melbourne. “I can’t wait to get stuck into it.” Caris and Simmons, both in year 12, also play in Western Victoria Female Football League, Caris for Horsham Saints and Simmons for Ararat Storm. Simmons, 18, attends Stawell Secondary College, came up through under-14 ranks with Stawell in Wim-

mera league and also has a background in junior athletics. A Vic Country representative, the left-footer has played for the Rebels for the past three years where she has consistently put her running midfield and ball-using ability on display. Northern Knights star Ellie McKenzie was drafted to Richmond as the number-one pick. “Ellie is a star and deserves to be number one,” Caris said. “I know her well and she’s a great player and person.” Caris will also continue on elite netball pathways after winning spots in national squads. An up-and-coming shooter, Caris has also qualified for the 2020 Netball Centre of Excellence 19-and-under squad ahead of the 2021 Netball World Youth Cup. She joins her elder sister, Rene, in the AFLW. Rene, a young ruckman, was among Geelong’s most consistent players in 2019. The girls’ grandfather, George Caris, played football for South Melbourne in the VFL.

BACK ON COURT: Participants of Dimboola’s new junior mixed netball competition will contest round two tomorrow. Netballers launched the social competition at Dimboola Recreation Reserve last week. The free competition, for girls and boys 18 and younger, is part of Netball Victoria’s Rock Up Netball program. Six teams will compete throughout spring, finishing on December 3. Pictured in round-one action are, above, Purple People Eaters wing attack Tori Menzel, looking to pass around The S Crew’s Rory Doran, and left, goal keeper Joanne Wolthuis defends shooter Sophie Taylor.

Impressive start to season opener BY SARAH MATTHEWS

entral Wimmera Tennis Association leaders were rapt with Saturday’s 2020-21 season opener, as players enjoyed a long-awaited return to competitive sport.

Last season was cut short by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and association president Jeremy Quast said players were keen to make the most of easing restrictions. “Everyone was excited to be out and about playing – I think everyone was just pleased to be able to play sport again and to be able to socialise,” he said. “I’m sure there were a few sore bodies on Sunday – mine included – because we haven’t had a chance to play tennis for so long. “Despite the break we had some really good tennis throughout the day. “I played at Haven and the atmosphere was fantastic. The beautiful weather also helped make it a very good day – it was just such a positive start to the season.” Mr Quast praised participants’ behaviour in adhering to COVID-19 restrictions. “We’ve been living through COVID for seven months now, so people know what to do,” he said. “Everyone wore masks when they needed to, maintained their 1.5 me-

Jeff Friberg in action for Kalkee tres, brought their own afternoon tea and so on and I don’t think it affected anyone’s day. “I encourage everyone to keep up the good work. “I know a lot of people in regional Victoria are wondering why we are still wearing masks, but until the State Government says otherwise, we will follow the rules.” Mr Quast said he hoped the government would further ease restrictions to allow spectators in the near future. He said a return to junior tennis on Saturday morning was also a success, with six extra junior teams competing this year.

Mr Quast said the association was establishing a strong pathway for juniors with the aim of encouraging longevity in the sport. He said the senior competition also looked healthy, with all grades capable of producing hard-fought matches. Kalkee and Horsham Lawn enjoyed the closest pennant contest of round one, with the Kees defeating Lawn 7-75 to 5-67. Kalkee’s top two men, Jeff Friberg and Steve Schultz, led the way, winning three sets apiece, with Cherie Wood achieving the same feat for Lawn. Drung South is the first team to sit

Amy Milbourne, Haven, and Tenae Pitt, Horsham Lawn, are happy to be back on the court on top of the ladder for the 2020-21 season after a comprehensive win over Homers, 11-93 to 1-32. Nicole Zweck-Penhall and Jacqui Hopper joined forces to claim Homers’ only rubber in a tough day on the court. St Michaels led from start to finish against Central Park, triumphing 1296 to 0-36. Holly Nuske and Barb Cough – on loan on a day clearance from St Michaels – almost managed to get a win

for Central Park, however went down in a tie-breaker against Marli Pymer and Angela Nitschke. St Michaels, a perennial powerhouse, will look to continue its strong early form when it welcomes Horsham Lawn on Saturday. In other round-two pennant matches, Drung South will host Central Park and Homers will travel to Kalkee. Players also contested matches in A Special, A, and B Special grades.

Horses to jump in televised cup H

orsham Racing Club president Jason Merlo has encouraged Wimmera racing fans to closely follow a Millers Horsham Cup program on Sunday despite restrictions preventing the general public from attending.

Mr Merlo said the race meeting was an iconic part of sporting culture in Horsham and the broader region and as part of the state’s spring racing carnival was generating considerable interest. “While we’re disappointed we can’t welcome everyone to the Horsham track, apart from some registered owners, what we can guarantee is high-quality racing that will be televised around the country,” he said. “It’s important that our cup meeting is going ahead regardless of COVID-19 restrictions. It holds a strong place in the heart of many racing fans and while the general public won’t be able to see the action live, there will be plenty of drama unfolding on the screen. “The Horsham Cup generates considerable sporting discussion across the Wimmera and beyond and in that regards this year is no different. “It is high-level sport occurring in our own back yard and we’re proud to be able to continue to present the meeting this year.” Mr Merlo said apart from an eight-race program, the meeting would also feature a guest gallop from Wimmera Melbourne Cup entry Surprise Baby.

“As a club we are in for a $50,000 Melbourne Cup barrier-draw prize and if we win, that money will go to Wimmera Health Care Group as our nominated charity,” he said. The Melbourne Cup will also visit Horsham as part of a regional tour. The cup will head out to Murra Warra Wind Farm for a photo shoot and also visit Horsham West Primary School and Wimmera Base Hospital. It will also be at the Horsham track for Sunday’s meeting. The cup will arrive in Horsham after stopping off at Great Western. It will be available for public viewing on the lawns at Seppelt Wines from 2pm to 4pm on Friday. Great Western Fire Brigade is also in the running for the $50,000 barrier-draw prize as part of the cup tour. Mr Merlo reminded punters that $60,000 in prizemoney was up for grabs in the Miller’s Horsham Cup race and also a $100,000 prize pool in another race as part of heat four of the Melbourne Cup carnival. “And looking at the nominations, there are some pretty strong fields. Racing is going to be red-hot,” he said. Mr Merlo said the Horsham club was hoping the industry, with the rest of the state, continued to emerge from restrictions so people could get back to enjoying regional race meetings. “We’re hoping we will be able to open the gates for spectators for the popular Santa Day Races in December,” he said.

Back in the pool Champion Horsham swimmer Deacon Briggs was among water-lovers keen to return to the city’s outdoor pool on Monday. Briggs, pictured preparing for a St Brigid’s College Sports Academy session, was happy to take full advantage of Horsham Aquatic Centre opening Horsham War Memorial Swimming Pool earlier than usual. He said he was keen to return to the water to prepare for upcoming national swimming championships. “We’re still not sure if it’s going ahead, but it’s worth training for,” he said. “I’m swimming more for fun right now, because it’s been a while since I’ve been in the water – although I swim in the bathtub sometimes. To be back in the water will be good.” Due to government COVID-19 restrictions, the centre can only offer outdoor sporting pursuits, including lap or recreational swimming and outdoor fitness classes. The outdoor pool is open from 6am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm Monday to Friday and is closed on weekends. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER
