Mining watch

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

rimpaen farmer and former Horsham mayor David Grimble has emphasised a need for ongoing community consultation and transparency as mineral exploration continues throughout the region.

Mr Grimble, in response to questions about mining exploration on the Grampians’ northern fringe, said maintaining open lines of communication between mining companies and communities was essential. WIM Resource, developing Avonbank mineral-sands mine at Dooen, north of Horsham, is also on the hunt for gold and copper deposits. It secured a five-year exploration licence on a 757-square-kilometre Stavely Block in Brimpaen district in September, 2019, and has started the search. It is one of many mining companies searching for valuable resources across the Wimmera-Mallee. Brimpaen exploration is mainly occurring on sheep and cereal farming land and is relatively close to national parkland. “Community engagement should remain the main focus throughout this period,” Mr Grimble said. “It is so important to keep those lines of communication open, especially if there is variation in the direction of the project. The community needs to be informed every step of the way.” The prospect of mineral exploration in the area has generated mixed community feeling. Mr Grimble said while mining operations at Brimpaen might have enormous economic potential in the region, opaque communication and project variations had been a problem between other mine operators and communities in the past. He said experience of negative sentiment

in the region’s southwest in 2015, which involved a different mining company and project, provided an example of what could happen when community expectation failed to match mine-project development. He said deviations of procedures outlined during community consultations surrounding mining by-product management and land-rehabilitation practices by another company at the time ‘upset a lot of people’. “There was initial project support but that was wound back towards the end when the company varied its project plan,” he said. Mr Grimble said local government had a major role to ensure regional communities remained informed of any changes made by mine operators. “Local government needs to keep them accountable and ensure they provide updates to the community. The better they can engage with the community, the better it is for everyone,” he said. WIM Resource stakeholder liaison officer Murray Wilson, meanwhile, said his company stood strongly by its reputation for community engagement. He also assured stakeholders that the company would keep everyone well informed of developments. “We’re very pleased to have established successful and ongoing relationships with people in the project area,” he said. “WIM Resource prides itself on leading the way in stakeholder engagement and we’re regularly in contact with landholders. “We’ve had forums for the general community and we also have an office in Horsham where people can readily get in contact with staff members to find out what’s happening in detail. “We’re also explaining to everyone what we’re doing at markets, field days and other community events.” Continued page 3

Potential for value-adding Mining watch

BY DEAN LAWSON

ederal Agricultural Minister David Littleproud has spoken of Wimmera-Mallee agricultural value-adding opportunities during a quick visit to Horsham and the Wimmera.

Mr Littleproud, who inspected Horsham manufacturing firm Australian Plant Proteins this week, said the region was well placed to capitalise on global supply-chain opportunities. He added the region was also in a good position to explore manufacturing potential based on growth in renewable-energy generation in western Victoria. “On a global scale, we’re high-end producers of commodities and feed about 80-million people worldwide,” he said. “There is an opportunity to go further through the supply-chain curve with government investment partnering with entrepreneurs. “We have identified six key areas and food and beverages is one of the six, and this is particularly relevant in Mallee. “The area geographically lends itself more than ever to attracting investment through the modern manufacturing program.” Australian Plant Proteins is a prime example of agricultural value-adding, transforming Wimmera-grown pulses into high-demand protein powder. Mr Littleproud said opportunities to tap into renewable-energy opportunities in the region were also promising. “The biggest challenges in manufacturing are the two largest costs – wages and energy,” he said. “What we can look at here is energy to bring competitiveness in manufacturing and that opportunity is in regional Australia. Regions such as the Mallee have the opportunity.” Mr Littleproud also used his visit to announce details of other major funding programs that would affect the Wimmera-Mallee and toured west Wimmera areas affected by a New Year’s fire. He met Horsham Agricultural Society officials at Horsham showground to announce $8.3-million in national funding to ease operational and rental costs for the travelling show-amusement industry. He said the Federal Government would work with Victorian Showmen’s Guild to administer up to $7.8-million to help cover rental costs for travelling showmen and women associated with their participation at agricultural shows in 2021-22 and 2022-23 financial years. He added that up to $500,000 would also be available for operational costs

Picture: DEAN LAWSON of travelling show businesses by supporting a moratorium and-or refund on showmen’s guild membership fees for 2021 and 2022.” Mr Littleproud said showmen and women had been the ‘forgotten’ industry in the pandemic hit on communities, yet were integral to show success. “The past two years have been tough for many of us, but travelling businesses who visit agricultural shows have been hit very hard,” he said. “Because of the restrictions from COVID-19, many showmen and women have been completely deprived of their main source of income. “These grants will help travelling showmen and women – often small, independent sole-trader or family-based operations – cover parts of their operational costs through support for guild membership fees and showground rental relief. “More than 50,000 people volunteer in shows every year and we don’t want to lose that opportunity to showcase our communities. Showmen and women are integral to this.” Member for Mallee Anne Webster, who joined Mr Littleproud, said the pandemic had been devastating for

“We have identified six key areas and food and beverages is one of the six, and this is particularly relevant in Mallee. The area geographically lends itself more than ever to attracting investment through the modern manufacturing program” agricultural shows and field days. “These shows are a feature of the regional calendar year and it is imperative to see them supported to continue these great local events well into the future,” Dr Webster said. “Funding for local showmen and women helps local shows to continue being successful and to boost our local economies here in Mallee.” Mr Littleproud also announced $20-million funding for a major national assault on weeds and pest animals, a figure states and territories would match dollar-for-dollar. He said pests and weeds posed a significant threat to Australia’s primary production, environment and biodiversity. “Projects will reduce the overall burden of pests and weeds on-ground through activities such as co-ordinated control, destruction and removal, including trapping, baiting and culling

– David Littleproud along with biological control release,” he said. “They will target nationally significant pest and weed species, such as feral deer, feral pigs, cats, foxes, rabbits, wild dogs and a range of invasive weeds across identified hot spots. “This has to be based on a local approach and we have to see results where there is eradication.” Dr Webster said the funding program would lead to significant results for Mallee farmers. “Pest and weed management is an ongoing issue for the local agricultural and horticultural industry and this funding expansion demonstrates the commitment of the Liberal-National government towards the optimisation of our food and fibre industry,” she said. “I welcome the commitment from my state and territory colleagues to co-invest with us to address this significant issue.”

From page 1 Mr Wilson emphasised that field-work activities in the Brimpaen area were low-impact and the company would only know more about mineral exploration prospects after completing a geophysical survey program. “We are conducting some small geophysical survey work in the field, chatting with landowners and beginning some small non-invasive drilling,” he said. “It basically involves people walking around surveying where there might be opportunity where we could put a drill hole down and assessing whether there’s potential for further exploration. “It’s a long, long way off getting a mine up and running, which is an extensive, exhaustive and long-term exercise. And WIM is very good at making sure it completes very detailed and complete investigations.” Mr Wilson said the company was communicating directly with landowners about the exploration and planned to provide further updates on the project later in the year. “WIM Resource recognises the Wimmera is going to be a key mineral sand mining area of Victoria, which is going to generate massive economic growth in the future,” he said. “At the same time, we’re obviously very conscious of types of stakeholders in the region and in reality, carefully follow exploration and land-access guidelines. “Importantly, we’re determined to make sure we’re clear and open in everything we’re doing and that involves the broader Horsham district as well as key stakeholders.” Mr Grimble said he would adopt a patient approach to see what exploration revealed about the Stavely Block. “My view is that this is a wait-and-see situation. Across the country there is a lot of mining exploration going on, so we will have to wait and see if they find things first,” he said. “It might not come to fruition; the minerals have to be there first and it has to be economical – I am not losing sleep about it at the moment, but I am quite intrigued.”

Water storages stable across region A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Wimmera-Mallee water expert is predicting storage levels to remain stable following a wet winter last year. GWMWater storage manager Kym Wilson said following expected late-summer La Niña conditions, urban and rural networks would meet supply demands for 2022. Mr Wilson said Wimmera reservoirs had experienced a mixed response to summer rain across Victoria. He said the water-saving aspect of Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline meant

there would be enough water in storage for about two years or more. “Even though we have been having low inflows, we are holding enough in storage to have good security for two or more years,” he said. Mr Wilson said determining water security was difficult and required assessing many variables. “Water security depends on supply and demand,” he said. “You have how much water flows into your storages each year, but you also have variables such as climate. “If it’s a hot or dry summer, you will lose more water in evaporation

“Even though we have been having low inflows, we are holding enough in storage to have good security for two or more years”

– Kym Wilson

from your reservoirs compared with a wetter summer period.” Mr Wilson said figures showed 55 millimetres of rain had fallen at Lake Bellfield near Halls Gap between January 6 and 8. But other reservoirs missed out on significant totals.

“The next highest rainfall total between January 6 and 8 was at Rocklands Reservoir, with 15.4mm, ” Mr Wilson said. He said the rain during the past two weeks was the result of thunderstorm activity. “Thunderstorms can be hard to predict. Obviously where they pass over you get good rainfall,” he said. “But if you are outside that area you are going to get little rain.” Mr Wilson said as of January 12, Grampian’s reservoirs were holding 38.47 percent of available capacity, down half a percent from the previous

Flare danger

Wimmera River ‘in great order’ Water levels in the Wimmera River remain high this summer as residents across the region continue to enjoy the benefits of a full and healthy waterway. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority has released a ‘pulse’ of water from Taylors Lake, designed to replicate the effects of seasonal summer storm events, leading to higher than usual water levels. Authority chief executive David Brennan said while the river was in ‘great’ condition, less rain had fallen in the catchment lately compared with much of last year. “This had prompted the release of water to simulate a summer flow and maintain conditions,” he said. “We monitor the river all year for indicators of good health and more flow was needed to freshen the river to balance ground-water salinity. At the moment the river is great to swim in and from a water-quality perspective in great order.”

Mr Brennan said natural flows and a lack of ‘super’ hot weather meant an absence of problematic blue-green algae. “The Wimmera River is perfect for keen anglers this summer to catch some of the larger fish seen making their way through the river system,” he said. Recreational anglers can win up to $10,000 by landing a tagged fish as part of a State Government program to boost tourism in regional Victoria. “With Victorian Fisheries Authority extending the ‘Golden Tag’ competition into 2022, it’s a perfect time to try your luck here in the Wimmera,” Mr Brennan said. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority works in partnership with the community and a range of organisations and stakeholders to protect and enhance the condition of the region’s natural resources. – Michael Scalzo

week. Lake Bellfield is 74 percent full and holding 57,970 megalitres of water. Primary Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline distribution lake Taylors Lake near Horsham was 81 percent full and holding 27,060 megalitres. Horsham’s water-supply Lake Wartook was 68 percent full and holding 19,820 megalitres, while Lake Fyans, near Stawell, was 67 percent full and holding 18,460 megalitres. As a result of dry conditions and high evaporation losses, authorities failed to record reservoir inflow during December.

Horsham Rural City Council is reminding residents of a need to dispose of out-of-date flares at Horsham Police Station and never in rubbish bins. A major incident at Dooen Landfill last week involved ignition of a flare. A fast-acting staff member extinguished the flare. Council infrastructure director John Martin said the operator was compacting rubbish when he noticed orange smoke. “The flare was removed from the cell and the area was examined to establish if there were any more,” he said. “Luckily, this time, there were not.” Mr Martin said he believed people thought flares could be placed into their general garbage collection, but explained expired flares were highly flammable and must be handed to police. He said expiration dates were short and there could be a chance of a misfire. “Flares are emergency signalling equipment,” he said. “The problem is flares expire after three years. “There is no guarantee they will fire when needed and they must be replaced. “Our message is that flares are classed as explosives and must never be disposed of in a bin.”

Brown for Fighting for children Code health services

roducing a back-to-school feature in this week’s edition of The Weekly Advertiser has galvanised why we must continue to find ways to beat and manage infectious disease without closing schools.

Reading comments from and seeing the faces of fresh-faced prep children, all a little excited and anxious about starting school, provides us with a powerful reason to get this right. There is a growing realisation and understanding, if we weren’t aware already, that children need face-to-face learning opportunities and we as a society need this to happen. In fact we don’t really have a choice. Sure, children and people in general can learn in isolation for extended periods of

time. But it is ultimately a necessity for children to mix, so at the very least, they gain an understanding of life. Human ability to rationalise circumstance often comes from being able to understand each other. Children learn from their elders, teachers and parents. But they gain that something extra from each other, borne from connectivity with different individuals, that represents critical ingredients in a winning formula for society.

We feel for the mums and dads trying to get the best possible understanding of and advice about latest circumstances and trying to get in a position to make informed decisions. And then there is teaching staff. They have been as much in the frontline trenches as anyone during this pandemic. What we know, in no uncertain terms, is that our government leaders want children back in classrooms. What we also know is that we must continue to fight a good fight against COVID-19 – whether in the medical laboratory, in the office, worksite, home or playground. If there is anything worth fighting for and doing what we need to do to win, it’s our children. • Back-to-school feature, see pages 21-25.

The State Government will implement a co-ordinated ‘Pandemic Code Brown’ across all major regional and metropolitan hospitals to tackle the COVID-19 Omicron variant. The order, to come into effect by noon today, includes Grampians Health, made up of Wimmera Health Care Group, Stawell Regional Health and Edenhope and District Hospital as well as Ballarat Health Services. A Pandemic Code Brown puts in place a formal emergency-management structure involving hospital resources. Under the order, health services can implement changes that include configuring services to free up staff, provision of outpatient services outside a hospital and rapid offloading of ambulance patients at emergency departments to get paramedics back on the road as soon as possible. Hospitals can also choose to redeploy staff to work in areas of highest clinical priority. The Code Brown also includes metropolitan Melbourne, Barwon Health, Bendigo Health, Goulburn Valley Health, Albury Wodonga Health and Latrobe Regional Hospital. Acting Health Minister James Merlino said a co-ordinated approach to activating Code Brown response plans was necessary to help health services work together rather than in isolation, in the face of overwhelming demand. He said health services and the health workforce would continue to have responsibility for clinical and operational decisions that affected patients and their communities. He said there would also be an expansion of ‘COVID streaming sites’ to increase the number of hospitals caring for COVID-19 patients – easing pressure at hospitals handling the most cases. Mr Merlino said the Department of Health would also establish a new Health Service Response Centre to help hospitals co-ordinate patient flow, distribute activity and support decisions around service reconfiguration. He said he expected the Pandemic Code Brown to last four to six weeks.

Council outlines childcare proposal W

est Wimmera families planning to use a new childcare service at Edenhope can soon register their interest.

Following an extensive investigation period, West Wimmera Shire Council hopes to open a childcare service in Edenhope by April. The council set aside money in its 2020-21 budget to investigate childcare needs in the shire. Following an initial report by Rachel Robinson from Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, it engaged Community Child Care to examine the feasibility of establishing a pilot childcare program in Edenhope. Community Child Care worked with council staff and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute to complete preliminary elements of the study. At a special forum in December, councillors agreed to proceed to the next stage of the feasibility investigation, also led by Community Child Care. The final stage will include calling for expressions of interest from families wishing to fill places in the proposed service, to confirm demand. This stage will also include applying for necessary regulatory approvals, seeking access to the Federal Government’s childcare

assistance scheme and investigating any other grants that might be available to help with both recurrent and establishment costs. Subject to confirmation of demand and providing all approvals have been met, the council will start the pilot service in Edenhope from April 26, the start of the second school term. The pilot program will operate four days a week, Monday to Thursday.

Formalities

Council chief executive David Bezuidenhout said the council would formally call for expressions of interest this month to fill places at the service. “In doing so, families will be asked to nominate specific days they wish to enrol their children for childcare,” he said. “For three and four-year-old children, the childcare will supplement their existing two days per week enrolment in the kindergarten program.” Mr Bezuidenhout said existing kindergarten enrolments would be unaffected by adding the childcare component. “Families can simply opt to add up to two days of childcare at the Edenhope Early Learning Centre,” he said. “For children aged up to two years, enrolments will be

available for up to four days a week.” The council will notify families of the opening of the expressions of interest process via newspaper advertisements, various social-media outlets, emails and notifications to key employer organisations. More information of proposed hours of operation and other necessary details will be available at that time. “Based on initial research, the council expects the proposed pilot project will be proven to be feasible through these important next steps,” Mr Bezuidenhout said. “This will allow the council to then formally approve the pilot and allow us to finalise staffing and other necessary details to start this exciting initiative.” Mr Bezuidenhout said while the pilot project was likely to meet Edenhope families’ childcare needs, there was also need extending beyond existing provisions in Kaniva and elsewhere within the shire. “The council will continue to monitor these needs and investigate options for expanding provisions in the future,” he said. People seeking more information can call council community development and tourism manager Vin McKay on 0438 010 563.

College primed for big year Horsham Calisthenics College is getting ready for a new year, with classes for all ages starting later this month. Principal coach Kylie Hermans said calisthenics was a ‘fantastic’ sport that offered something for everyone at all ages. “Students will learn six different routines throughout the year, all to be performed on stage with music and in beautiful costumes,” she said. “They learn skills such as dance, flexibility, apparatus work, musical theatre, ballet, singing and marching. “Calisthenics is a great way to be active in a fun and friendly team environment. “Our students develop technical skills and friendships that last a lifetime, and we help them become strong, confident performers.” Mrs Hermans said calisthenics was open for students aged four to adult. “This year we are very excited to be offering a senior team at our club – the last time we had seniors was in 2017,” she said. “It’s fantastic to see many older students

either returning to, or staying at, Horsham Calisthenics College.” The COVID-19 pandemic meant the college’s students were only able to attend one competition in 2021, and none in 2020. Teams usually attend about four or five competitions each year, plus an annual concert. The college’s intermediate team won a Royal South Street Society Eisteddfod in Ballarat last year. Mrs Hermans said the win was a wonderful way to end another difficult year. “The girls were so excited to get on stage and they performed beautifully,” she said. “To come away with the aggregate was just a bonus.” Mrs Hermans said she hoped 2022 would see more of the college’s students on stage. Horsham Calisthenics College classes will resume on January 31 and February 2. Mrs Hermans said people could call her on 0408 811 346 for more information about classes at Horsham Masonic Hall.

MP goes into bat for lost funding

change in funding arrangements affecting a long-term program at Edenhope, Balmoral K-12 and Goroke P-12 colleges continues to attract the ire of Member for Lowan Emma Kealy.

Ms Kealy said the State Government had removed the colleges from a list of schools to receive Advance program funding this year. She said the Advance program provided Victorian secondary students with an opportunity to volunteer and get involved in their communities, while developing practical teamwork, leadership, communication and project-management skills. “The funding helps schools connect young people to a range of projects

including conservation programs, getting involved with emergency services and animal-welfare projects,” she said. Ms Kealy said Department of Families, Fairness and Housing had ‘rescoped’ the program and planned to reallocate money, justifying the move to ‘better target support for disadvantaged young people whose needs have been significantly exacerbated by the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic’. Ms Kealy raised the issue in State Parliament last month in a question to Victorian Youth Minister Ros Spence. She said she demanded the government reinstate the funding to the three colleges.

“They have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic because they have been locked down for longer than anywhere else, even though they had not had a case”

– Emma Kealy

“To give some perspective, Edenhope is within the cross-border region with South Australia. Their nearest service centre is Naracoorte, about half an hour away in South Australia. During the border closures between Victoria and South Australia these students were cut off from so many supports,” she said.

“They have been cut off from their friends and family. “Many students play sport in South Australian leagues and they have not been able to participate. “It has been very difficult to even go and get a medical appointment across the border – they have not been able to do so. “These kids deserve Advance funding as much as kids in Melbourne. “They have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic because they have been locked down for longer than anywhere else, even though they had not had a case.” Ms Kealy said Ms Spence had advised that the 2022 program would target the 150 most disadvantaged

government secondary school campuses in Victoria. This was to ensure all young people had similar opportunities to expand their skills and gain leadership experience as their peers across the state. “How can the minister say ‘all young people will have similar opportunities’ when Edenhope, Balmoral and Goroke colleges have had their funding cut?” Ms Kealy said. “I urge the minister to stand up for these students who have been deeply impacted by the pandemic and restrictions and reinstate the Edenhope, Balmoral and Goroke colleges in the list of schools to receive Advance program funding in 2022. “It has never been needed more.”

GROW YOUR CAREER IN HEALTH!

Natimuk is cranking up planning to celebrate its sesquicentenary – 150 years of permanent settlement – on the weekend of March 25 to 27. The celebrations will occur at a time almost 150 years since the first settlers’ land-licence applications won approval on March 28, 1872. A range of Natimuk organisations will also commemorate significant milestones this year. Lutherans will celebrate the congregation’s 150th anniversary, Natimuk Fire Brigade is 130, Natimuk Bowling Club is in its centenary year and Arapiles Historical society reaches a 60-year

milestone. Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society is also planning a major Saturday event on March 26 to mark the town’s 130th grand annual show. The show will be a highlight of the Back-to-Natimuk celebrations. One of the town’s longest-running organisations, Natimuk Brass Band, formed in 1885, will perform both at the show and during a street parade on the Saturday morning. The back-to will include events on the Friday evening and Sunday, with organisers working on finer details for the milestone celebration.

More essential workers qualify for exemptions Kealy: Wimmera More essential workers have an exemption from home-isolation requirements based on close contact with positive COVID-19 cases. Workers in emergency services, education, critical utilities, custodial facilities, transport and freight have joined workers in the food-production sector as being eligible for the exemption. The State Government introduced the changes, which came into effect late last night. Under the conditions of the exemption, a worker can return to work if it is necessary for continuity of operations and if other options have been exhausted. The exemption will apply to attending work only, not any other settings. In order to be eligible, the worker must first notify the employer of their status as a contact, and critically, both parties must consent to the worker returning to the workplace. They are already required to be fully vaccinated. Premier Daniel Andrews said strong measures were needed to

reduce the risk of a contact attending work while infectious. These included – • The worker must undertake a daily Rapid Antigen Test, RAT, for five days and return a negative result before attending work each day. • They must wear a face mask at all times, with exceptions in the case of eating or drinking, or safety reasons, with a P2-N95 respirator preferred. • The worker cannot enter shared break areas and the employer must try and facilitate solo break time. The employer must also take reasonable steps to deploy the worker in areas where transmission risk is lower. • If at any time the worker develops symptoms or tests positive on a RAT, the exemption no longer applies – they are a case, must isolate for seven days and must notify others including their employer. The exemption order is identical to the order the government granted to Victoria’s public health team for key food and beverage workers and is designed to protect the

state’s essential workforce during the continuing Omicron variant wave. This exemption also applies to hospital workers, disability workers, residential aged-care facility workers and ambulance workers. The use of an N95 mask at the workplace is a requirement, not a preference. ‘Close contacts’, otherwise known as household and household-like contacts, are people who have spent more than four hours with a case inside a house, accommodation or care facility. The Department of Health has also updated its contact-management guidelines to require workplaces to notify the department when five cases had attended the work premises within seven days. Previously, workplaces were required to advise the department and WorkSafe of single cases. More information on the conditions of the exemption and applicable cohorts of workers will be available online at www. coronavirus.vic.gov.au/isolationexemptions.

Mr Andrews said the change was about helping Victorians ‘keeping food on the table, lights on in the house and staff on in our hospitals’. “It’s safe and sensible in the eyes of our public health team, but to further protect themselves and the community, workers will have to use a rapid antigen test every day and wear a mask at all times,” he said. “The worker has to agree to come in, just as they have to agree to the various preventative measures that will reduce risks for others.” List of applicable workers: Emergency services such as police, fire services and the State Emergency Service; prisons and custodial services; critical utilities such as gas, electricity, water and waste disposal; freight and transport operators, including at ports and airports; primary, secondary and early-childhood education; critical care services that support the most vulnerable.

pupils overlooked Primary school aged children in the Wimmera will have to travel outside the region to access new State Government COVID-19 vaccination clinics. Thirty state-run clinics for children aged five to 11 will be set-up at primary schools across Victoria from this week as the government plans to protect students before they return to school at the end of this month. Pop-up clinics will be open to all children aged five to 11, not just those attending the school hosting the clinic. The Wimmera, southern Mallee and Western District have not been listed to host a pop-up vaccination clinic. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has criticised the decision to not provide a pop-up clinic in the Wimmera. “The demand for vaccinations among the five to 11 age group is high, and the government should be doing all it can to help people who wish for their children to be vaccinated to access an appointment,” she said. “Labor and independent Upper House MPs in Western Victoria have failed to stand up for our region and must remember that they were elected to represent Victorians who live in country Victoria too, not just the city.”

Mayor: Be patient FIVE-DAY forecast ° ° ° 34 35 35 and have a plan T W

orsham mayor Robyn Gulline is encouraging the district community to be patient and understanding and to begin planning in the event they contract COVID-19 or are required to isolate.

Cr Gulline made the appeal in response to the number of COVID-19 cases rising in the municipality. “We’ve seen already a number of businesses in the city that have had to reduce their hours because staff are either testing positive or are required to isolate,” she said. “This trend is likely to continue, so please be understanding, stay flexible and always be kind. “There are practical things you can do now to make sure you have the things you need at home if you or your family need to isolate. “Make sure you have a few days’ supply of essential items, especially prescription medicines, and talk to family, friends and neighbours about how you can support each other if one household has to isolate. “If you have no way of getting help, please call the Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398. “Horsham district led the charge when it came to getting vaccinated as early as possible and our high vaccination rates will give us the best pos-

Decision challenged

anking-service viability in regional areas continues to generate debate with a municipal leader standing firm on calls for the State Government to maintain bank accounts in country branches.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy wants the government to reverse a decision to remove its banking from regional communities. Ms Kealy reinforced her position on the move, which involves a purchasing contract that means all state-owned organisations such as schools, hospitals and water boards must transfer their money into one of three main banks – the Commonwealth, Westpac or NAB. She said this would come at the expense of regional banking, specifically Bendigo Community Bank branches, which supported communities across western Victoria. “There are a number of community banks across Lowan, which provide vital support for many local projects, that will be significantly impacted by Labor’s decision,” she said. “Many of our local schools and hospitals have large accounts with their local community bank. “This decision comes at a time we are seeing the big banks close branches in many of our towns and this directive from the government is yet another centralised decision. “Local banking is good for country communities, providing a vital service and supporting secure local jobs.” Ms Kealy said Lowan residents could have their say about the de-

cision to remove banking from regional communities via the Federal Government’s Regional Banking Taskforce. A taskforce forum at Red Cliffs in the Mallee last week involved Member for Mallee Anne Webster. Senator Perin Davey also attended and will be leading the taskforce alongside assistant treasurer Michael Sukkar. Dr Webster said she had wanted Senator Davey to ‘come to Mallee to hear from Mallee residents about how bank closures have affected their towns’. “Regional banking is at a crisis point. We need to be looking at how we remedy the situation,” she said. “It’s not good enough to sit aside and go ‘oh well it’s a banking decision’. Because they don’t think they are going to make money locally,” she said.

Finding solutions

Dr Webster said some who attended the forum were angry and disappointed. She said some of the big banks were lacking transparency with their customers regarding bank closures. “They have not communicated with their branch members formally why they have closed,” she said. “I find that behaviour appalling. It’s not respectful. They need to be able to provide the reasons for their closure.” Dr Webster said the forum had raised a variety of solutions in dealing with regional banking issues. She said she raised one potential solution, where agencies such as newsagents or grocery stores that

took on district banking transactions be compensated rather than charged for the service. Dr Webster said a newsagent at the forum had provided an example. “When people came into her store, they used tap-and-go because there was nowhere to get cash out,” Dr Webster said. “That is a critical issue. The newsagent is paying about $1000 a month in fees to the bank. I think the banks should be paying her.” Dr Webster said elderly Mallee residents were uncomfortable using online banking. “I have 72 towns in Mallee with populations of more than 200 people and many of those towns don’t have banks,” she said. “A lot of young people are happy to do digital banking, but listening to some of our older residents at the forum they don’t want to go online. “The big banks are moving to digitisation of banking and the truth is older residents are not competent in digital banking – we need to watch out for them.” Dr Webster said she was uncertain if there was any way to attract the ‘big’ banks to the region. “I do think a diversification of banking methods could be done in a regional centre,” she said. “But the banks are thinking about their bottom line. “We need to consider legislation, so they don’t abandon some of the trickier banking procedures, such as loans or changing accounts – all those things you can’t just go into Australia Post and do. And it is difficult to do on the phone.”

Live music among the vines Music lovers can enjoy an afternoon of family-friendly fun this weekend as live music returns to a Grampians winery. Pomonal Estate will host Ross Wilson and the Peaceniks as part of Wilson’s ‘Cool World’ show on Saturday. Bands ‘The Badloves’, ‘King Canyon’ and Wimmera musician Andrew ‘Parso’ Parsons will also entertain guests, who have access to a range of food trucks on the day. Wilson said it was ‘terrific’ there were places such as Pomonal Estate to host live outdoor events. “Everyone knows the disruptions we have had in the music and performance industries,” he said. “Hopefully everyone does the right thing and we’ll go out in the sun, jump around and have a good time, drink some wine, eat some food and listen to

some music.” Pomonal Estate hosted Boom Crash Opera frontman Dale Ryder during a ‘Live at the Gap’ concert in 2021. Estate owner Pep Atchison said the winery was a great setting for a concert. “What better place than a winery to get out to experience some live music, savour fine local food and wine and socialise with friends again,” she said. Wilson said the Grampians was one of his favourite places in Victoria. “The Grampians has always been on top of my list for places to go,” he said. “There will be a couple of new songs I will play that people will not have heard before. “I will be heading back into the studio soon to do another album and I like to road test songs before I record them.” – Michael Scalzo

Mayors map out future wishlists A

BY NICK RIDLEY

n easing of COVID-19 restrictions sits at the top of most Wimmera council leaders’ wishlists this year.

Their other hopes and wishes range from population growth to more socioeconomic drivers such as community sporting infrastructure. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said she hoped for more successful grants this year for the council for events and public buildings. She said Horsham council was successful in state funding for its youth programs FreeZA and Engage! The council received more than $200,000, for both programs. “We will see a water play and nature park completed this year and we are getting closer to our objective of making the river a destination for tourists,” Cr Gulline said. She said she hoped COVID-19 restrictions would ease and circumstances would return to ‘normal’. “The council hopes people can return to their normal activities. It would be lovely to see these social activities recommence,” she said. West Wimmera mayor Bruce Meyer said his district was focusing on improving life for his residents after COVID-19. “We would hope for free movement with South Australia. We would like to see the end of restrictions,” he said. Cr Meyer said during the South Australian border restrictions residents had been cut off at the border. “We had people who couldn’t see their families. Living right on the border meant you were heavily stranded,” he said.

Cr Meyer said he also wished for wetter weather this year for the west. “We would like it to rain enough, which is a big thing for a lot of people. There hasn’t been a decent flow of water for a couple of years now,” he said.

Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong

Housing plan

Northern Grampians mayor Tony Driscoll said COVID and housing were his council’s main issues. “The critical issue is land rezoning and to have more housing. If we have more housing we can have more people,” he said. “I definitely want to maintain a positive outlook. “As a council I am happy to say we are a forward-looking organisation and make plans well in advance. “When we formed the new council in 2020, we ran a series of communityengagement sessions that helped us finalise our council plan for the next four years. “Regionally, we have also mapped climate change and waste collection and processing as issues that we need to keep working on.” Cr Driscoll said ongoing projects included improvements to Lord Nelson Park at St Arnaud, North Park Precinct at Stawell and Great Western Football and Netball Club reserve. He said other projects the council would work on included a reconciliation action plan with Traditional Owners. “The vision, the plan and the action plan are all available for our community to download from our website or in paper format by calling customer service on 5358 8700,” he said. Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said instead of considering the challenges of

provements for telecommunications and connectivity for our rural communities.” Yarriambiack mayor Kylie Zanker said her council was looking to improve housing in the area. “Most of our community is looking at housing to get more people into the region,” she said.

Hopeful

the pandemic, her council was looking for opportunities. “We’re looking at ways of activating new sectors in the economy, diversifying businesses and securing developments that create new investment opportunities,” she said. “We’ll continue developing our partnership with Federation University Australia to deliver the Ararat Jobs and Technology precinct – the project is coming along strongly. “The Ararat Free Public WiFi Network partnership with the State Government and Telstra to deliver advanced connectivity in Ararat and Lake Bolac is coming along nicely. “We will continue to invest in rural road projects and deliver enabling infrastructure to secure new housing in Ararat East Development Zone.” Cr Armstrong said Ararat council would be working on building more community-sport infrastructure. “We’re carrying out a needs analysis of the historic Aradale site to unlock

the heritage and planning complexity of this iconic site, to give it another life,” she said. “The Gordon Street Recreation Reserve Redevelopment project, co-designed with the community to create a home for AFLW, soccer, cricket and Little Athletics, will be a game-changer for our community sporting clubs.” Cr Armstrong said the council also aimed to upgrade roads in the area. “The council maintains a vast rural road network of more than 2000-kilometres, with our roads vital first and last-mile routes for agricultural freight,” she said “The safety of our community also heavily depends on our roads infrastructure and we’re hoping to continue securing investment from the government to help. The council delivers our record program of investment to upgrade local roads. “We will continue our advocacy to the Federal Government to secure im-

Hindmarsh deputy mayor Brett Ireland said his wishlist for the year would be delivering grants the council received. He said the council was planning to develop Wimmera Discovery Trail. “We’ve done all the cultural-heritage management assessments and now the council needs to be sitting down with all stakeholders,” he said. Cr Ireland said the council had developed a newsletter that people could access fortnightly to keep up to date with projects. “Roads are an ongoing issue here. We are going to have potholes until our grandchildren are old people,” he said. Cr Ireland said in places such as Jeparit there had been some population growth. But he said the population could not grow in the shire with the same amount of housing. Cr Ireland said council data showed the vast majority of youth left the shire when they finished school, but many returned when they were 45-plus. “We need to find things for the youth, such as courses and jobs,” he said. “We need to encourage them into the jobs here, such as agriculture or hospital or medical.”

Australia Day 2022 to host Former police chief guest Ararat family fun day

orsham will welcome former Victoria Police chief commissioner Christine Nixon as its Australia Day ambassador.

Horsham Rural City Council is planning a return to its popular in-person event at Sawyer Park on January 26, pending COVID-19 restraints. A free barbecue breakfast will start at 7am followed by a flagraising ceremony and presentation of Australia Day awards at 8am. The morning’s formalities will include a citizenship ceremony and Auntie Anne Moar performing welcome to country. The council is supporting Australia Day celebrations at Dadswells Bridge and Brimpaen. Proceedings will start at Dadswells Bridge at 11.30am followed by a light lunch. A free barbecue breakfast and entertainment will be on offer at Brimpaen at 8am, before formalities start at 9am. Natimuk will not host a ceremony this year. Mayor Robyn Gulline said the council was honoured to have Ms Nixon at the Horsham event. “Christine has dedicated her career to serving our Victorian community, playing a pivotal role in

assisting people during times of emergency,” she said. “Christine will be an inspiring ambassador who has a wealth of experience. “I look forward to having her join us for our Australia Day celebrations.” As Victoria Police commissioner, Ms Nixon was accountable for 14,000 staff and more than 500 stations with an annual budget of $1.7-billion. She oversaw a decrease in the state’s crime rate and a proactive response against corruption among senior police officials in the state. Following Black Saturday, Ms Nixon led the largest recovery in the state via the Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority, helping communities recover. Cr Gulline said Australia Day was a chance to say thank-you and congratulate various award winners for their contributions to the community. “Wherever you are and whatever you do, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are to live in Australia and especially the Wimmera,” she said. “It is important to remember that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and some

Christine Nixon

members of our community do not see Australia Day as a day of celebration. “It is important that we acknowledge this and continue to build greater understanding, respect and reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.”

Cr Gulline said all events would follow COVID-safe guidelines and be managed according to coronavirus restrictions and the council’s event policy. The council has stressed attendees must be vaccinated and must check-in using QR codes.

Mayor Jo Armstrong said the event was a chance to bring ‘our’ community together for a family-friendly afternoon. “The spirit of these Australia Day events has always been to bring the community together to celebrate diversity, inclusion and volunteerism,” she said. “Music in the Park preparations are in full swing and council staff have worked hard with the community to deliver a fantastic outdoor public event enriched with local artists, food and children’s activity providers.” The events include free entry to the Grubby Gumboot Mobile Farm as well as a pool party at Willaura and Lake Bolac outdoor pools, starting at noon. Andrew ‘Parso’ Parsons said he was looking forward to sharing the stage with his great friends from ‘FYI’. “Alexandra Gardens is the perfect place to relax with friends and soak up the sunshine,” he said. FYI band member Christine Bulger said she was excited to be entertaining Ararat community on Australia Day. “We are humbled to be invited to perform at such a significant community event, through which we can all reflect, respect and celebrate the people and stories of our community,” she said.

Australia Day 2022 Time to reflect, respect, celebrate N

orthern Grampians Shire Council is inviting the community to ‘reflect, respect and celebrate’ at upcoming Australia Day events in St Arnaud and Stawell.

The celebrations, COVID-19 permitting, will occur on Wednesday, January 26, the official Australia Day public holiday. The council will welcome two Australia Day ambassadors this year – television presenter and women’s advocate Tonia Todman and horseracing identity and reconciliation advocate Tony Cavanagh. Ms Todman will attend the St Arnaud ceremony and Mr Cavanagh will be part of Stawell celebrations. Northern Grampians mayor Tony Driscoll said he was excited to be attending Australia Day events and to host ambassadors during their visit. “Our community really revels in Australia Day; you just have to look at the jam-packed itineraries to know that,” he said. “It is an occasion to stop and reflect on our diverse identities as Australians, and our need to reconcile with our indigenous community, to celebrate the incredible achievements of individuals and groups over the past year and to welcome our newest citizens to the shire. “Come along and share in the festivities with us and if you cannot, tune in

to our live stream on the day to be a part of this special day.” Stawell celebrations will be at Cato Park from 6pm, with awards and a citizen ceremony, free barbecue and family activities. St Arnaud events will be at Market Square from 8am with a free Lions clubs breakfast, 9am, awards and flag-raising ceremony. Festivities will continue at St Arnaud Town Hall with a free morning tea.

West Wimmera Shire Council will welcome three Australia Day ambassadors to the region next week. Duncan Stalker, Dominic Barbuto and Peter Langkamp will attend celebrations throughout the shire. Mayor Bruce Meyer said it was wonderful to see three highly regarded individuals travelling to shire events. Dr Stalker will speak at ceremonies at Edenhope and Dergholm.

Dr Langkamp is a disability advocate who will speak at events in Kaniva and Apsley. He is a director of genU, The Disability Trust and ermha365 – organisations that advocate for a national focus on disability and mental health. He was previously president of Carers Australia. In 1995, he conceived and launched the FlyBuys program. Cr Meyer said the three ambassadors would bring a wealth of knowledge to the shire. “These people are highly motivated to make a difference in the world and in the lives of others,” he said. “We are privileged to have such accomplished community contributors as our Australia Day ambassadors.” West Wimmera council’s six celebrations are at Apsley Lions Park Playground at 11am, Kaniva Swimming Pool, 8am; Edenhope’s Henley Park, 8am; Goroke Memorial Hall, 8am; Harrow, Johnny Mullagh Reserve, 11.30am; and Dergholm Memorial Hall, 11am.

Fay Hull

Community panel call-out Former Ararat mayor Fay Hull will chair a community panel to guide the future of water and wastewater services in the Wimmera-Mallee. The community panel will provide opinion, advice and recommendations on GWMWater’s pricing proposals for the 2023-2028 Water Price Review Submission to the Essential Services Commission. Mrs Hull said the success of the community panel was reliant on attracting a diverse group of members to provide feedback on GWMWater’s proposals. “I encourage people from all walks of life to apply to join the community panel,” she said. “I think it’s very important that people from the community have their say. Offering your time to share your views gives you the opportunity to influence the outcome.” GWMWater chairman Peter Vogel said being part of the panel required no special knowledge or expertise. “It’s a great opportunity for community members to shape all dimensions of GWMWater’s services,” he said. The community panel will meet for up to five half days from March to June. People can direct inquiries about the panel to Adele Rohde at GWMWaters during business hours on 1300 659 961.

Children, health workers priority

immera children attending McLachlan Street Vaccination Clinic in Horsham for their first round of COVID vaccine will wander into an enchanted forest of colour and fun.

Grampians Health Horsham campus team members have decorated the clinic to make it more inviting for children. Grampians sub-hub vaccine rollout co-ordinator Genevieve Lilley said clinic nurses started vaccinating children aged between five and 12 years last week. “Bookings are filling quickly, so there could be a one-week wait,” she said. “We are doing our best to provide as many immunisers as possible to meet the demand for vaccines and we hope staffing will become less of an issue in the coming weeks.” Ms Lilley said the clinic was prioritising giving first-dose vaccines to children five to 11 but was also focused on health workers. “We need to ensure all health workers have received their booster shot before the deadline and that includes those from other services,” she said. “We are hoping we can eventually set up

clinics at the schools, but that needs department approval first. “We also have commitments to a few town visits to administer booster shots.” Meanwhile COVID testing numbers at the Horsham hospital clinic are steadying after a record month in December. Team members swabbed 3005 people for the month including 226 on Boxing Day. The numbers almost doubled the previous highest month and vindicated the decision to return to providing a drive-through clinic. Clinical improvement, risk and innovation director Sally Taylor said recent numbers were averaging in the low 60s after the year began in the 100s. “The recent changes to testing rules have certainly helped ease the pressure on our testers but we expect the clinic will continue to be busy,” she said.

Elmhurst participant Ellen McCartney-Lee said she found the program helpful and strongly recommended others to get involved. “I joined the program because I never had a ‘tablet’ and wanted to know more about them,” she said. “I have learned about Google maps, sending photos, navigating the Medicare app and accessing vaccinations. “I’ve enjoyed learning how to browse quilting sites, library games and more.” Elmhurst resident Jen Peacock said the program provided a safe and encouraging space to learn about technologies. “I found out about the program through Elmhurst Bush Nursing Centre. I’m not very tech-savvy and needed to learn how to use the Medicare app, set up my phone and use the computer a bit more,” she said. Ms Peacock said the council’s digital-literacy support officer Moya Carroll was ‘very’ patient in helping her set up MyGov online. “I can easily access the service and it unlocked my smartphone too,” she said. Ms Peacock said the program also encouraged her to continue advancing her computer skills, learn more about Windows program and create a ‘favourites’ list on her web browser. “As I’m older, technology is not something I grew up with, it’s good to have someone who can help without any judgement,” she said. People can find out more about the program by calling Moya Carroll and leaving a message on 5355 0232.

An Elmhurst, Willaura and Streatham-based program has been helping senior residents develop skills, use their digital devices and get connected online. The Bridging the Gap to Digital Literacy program, run by Ararat Rural City Council, provides classes for vulnerable people looking to build on their digital skills. Council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison said the program provided ‘much-needed’ digital-literacy support within rural communities across the municipality. “The pandemic has created a shift to online services, which requires elderly residents to adopt new technologies or risk getting left behind,” he said. “Bridging the Gap to Digital Literacy strengthens communities and creates life-changing opportunities for many of our elderly residents, giving them core skills, access and confidence to use digital technologies. “The program has had a strong start with more than 20 senior citizens attending group digital-literacy sessions at Willaura, Elmhurst and Streatham, covering topics from navigating Google maps, managing safe passwords and dictation, to how to send photos. “One-on-one sessions follow the group sessions to provide personalised support and fill in any gaps or questions residents might have that aren’t covered in the group sessions. “With many families disconnected by the pandemic, it has never been more important for people to stay connected through messaging and sharing of photos.”

Preparing for a new year A

fresh crop of WimmeraMallee and Western District students will get their first taste of school life when they walk through gates for the start of 2022’s first term on January 31.

Invitation to join program

rarat Library is encouraging children to read during the holidays with a summer-reading challenge rewarding enthusiastic readers with prizes for their efforts.

School starts for most with a prep year with a vast range of emotions for families as well as children. Little Bonnie Werner, 5, daughter of Carly and Aaron Werner, is approaching the first day of school with anticipation and excitement. Bonnie is preparing to join classmates at Horsham Primary School 298 campus and ‘can’t wait’. “I’m very excited about making new friends and looking forward to meeting my teacher Miss Schmidt in Prep A. I also have a lot of my friends going to 298 as well,” she said. Her mum Carly said it was hard to believe Bonnie had already reached school age. “But she’s more than ready and as a parent it is also exciting,” she said. “In starting schooling she becomes a little more independent and I think she will really thrive. “Because I know she’s ready, as a parent it makes it a lot easier. “I think her brother Louis, 2, will probably notice the difference the most.” Horsham Primary School principal Chris Walter said everyone at the school’s Rasmussen and 298

READY FOR SCHOOL: Bonnie Werner, 5, is excited to start school this year. Picture: DEAN LAWSON campuses were also looking forward to the year. “We’re very excited to start another school year and meeting many new families who have students starting schooling in prep, or new families in the area with children joining school at various year levels,” he said. “The start of a school year is all about new teachers, new classrooms, new classmates and getting to know everyone. “From there it becomes about

re-establishing routines and getting ready to make some serious learning progress throughout the year.” Mr Walter, who has also spent the past year in a senior regional role, added that all schools, teachers, parents and students across the region would be busy with preparations. “The key is to have everything in place so students can get off to the best start possible,” he said. “At Horsham Primary School both campuses are ready to go.

“We have many new teachers and we’re looking forward to them joining our team. We’re looking forward to the year ahead. “We have healthy prep enrolments at both Rasmussen Road and Horsham 298 campuses.” First term for Victorian public schools runs from January 28 to April 8. Second term is from April 26 to June 24, term three July 11 to September 16 and term four, October 3 to December 20.

The BIG Summer Read program aims to prevent what is known as the ‘summer slide’, when children take a break from their regular school routine, resulting in a decline of literacy skills. Ararat Rural City Council deputy chief excutive Julie Cronin said Ararat Library had kept its doors open during the holiday season, giving children access to books or audiobooks. “Council’s library is an invaluable resource for our community, providing children with the opportunity to read widely and build important literacy skills,” she said. “The summer reading challenge encourages children to use the library and build strong reading habits over the holidays.” Ararat council’s library team leader Ashlee McKinnis said many primary school-aged children experienced a decline in literacy skills during summer holidays. “The BIG Summer read program not only fosters a love of learning but helps kids continue building on important literacy skills gained during the school year,” she said. “The more you read and engage with activities on the Beanstack tracker, the more chances children have of winning prizes. “There are prizes for the top readers, including a $100 voucher for the Halls Gap Zoo, Toyz On Barkly or Intersport.” The BIG Summer read program is free to join by downloading the Beanstack app. Children must read 10 books or more by January 31 to be eligible for prizes. Winners will be announced in February.

New principal eager to start in role H

BY NICK RIDLEY

orsham Special School new principal Ben Tait has many fond memories of teaching mainstream and special needs schools in the United Kingdom and Australia.

Mr Tait, 43, said he still had a memory of a former student in the United Kingdom who was deaf and who believed his life would lead to little more than receiving government benefits. “The school worked with him to build his confidence and to build his sense of ‘self’ to being more than deaf,” he said. “He ended up going into sports coaching and became a successful gym instructor of other students who were deaf – it was a joy for him to succeed.” Mr Tait said the student was an inspiration and a reminder of why he teaches. Mr Tait has about 20 years of teaching experience and has worked in social environments as a gym instructor. He was previously Warracknabeal Primary School principal and has taught children with special needs throughout his career. He has worked with children with a variety of disabilities ranging from cognitive to physical, deafness and blindness. Teaching at Horsham Special School, which he joined about six months ago, represents the first time he has specialised at a special-needs school.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Horsham Special School new principal Ben Tait is looking forward to helping young people become ‘the best version of themselves’. Picture: NICK RIDLEY Horsham Special School provides educational programs for students aged five to 18, who display mild, moderate and severe levels of cognitive, physical, social, emotional, behavioural, sensory and multiple disabilities. The base criteria to enrol at Horsham Special School is intellectual disability. Mr Tait said he believed specialneeds schools were not that different compared with mainstream schools.

“I don’t see a difference between a mainstream school and special-needs school, which is to help young people become the best version of themselves,” he said. “We are fortunate in a special setting because we can set up slightly differently to a mainstream school. “We have smaller class sizes and we can have a more individualised approach because we have greater staff-to-student ratios. “We have an ability to really focus

on student needs in a more individual way. “We are fortunate to have a very new school, which is purpose built. “We have small rooms and we have accessible facilities so that the teaching and learning can be seamless.” Mr Tait, reflecting on his new role, said it went back to the reason why he started teaching – the joy of being around others when they learn something. “That is the same for students who

have special needs,” he said. “There is a joy of facilitating and being around young people or even adults to help them overcome the difficulties and the challenges they find when being presented with something is quite foreign. That is the essence of all learning.” Mr Tait said there was a feeling of fulfilment when seeing young people who had additional needs surpass their expectations. “There is a sense of warmth and satisfaction knowing that you have had a hand in helping people become the best version of themselves,” he said. Mr Tait replaces former principal Matthew Copping, who left the role in 2020. Mr Copping took on a role with Country Education Partnership and is now taking a period of extended leave to travel. Josh Harvey is Horsham Special School assistant principal and was acting principal before Mr Tait’s appointment. Mr Tait said Mr Harvey had done a great job before his arrival. “Josh and the team of staff here have done a fantastic job at ensuring high-quality educational programs continued on seamlessly while there was a period with no substantive principal in place,” he said. “I acknowledge the amazing team of dedicated staff here at Horsham Special School, who have carried the load and ensured the change did not adversely impact the fantastic education programs on offer.”

State committed to school return A

mid the rapidly changing circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the State Government has maintained its support for National Cabinet’s framework to enable students to return to school, face-to-face, on the first day of term one.

The government has been assessing details of the latest virus surge and expects to announce updated details this month. Education Minister James Merlino said the government had provided more than $190-million for projects in schools across Victoria to keep students and staff safe and prevent any more learning disruption in 2022. “Our school workforce and students aged 12 and older have done an amazing job getting vaccinated quickly to protect their school communities – and we expect families will be just as keen to protect their younger children ahead of term one,” he said. Education department plans to address any staff shortages due to COVID-19 include drawing on ‘a wide range of’ teaching staff, including casual-relief teachers. Department advice is that the best thing families can do is get their children vaccinated with a first dose as soon as possible at a state site, GP or pharmacy. Mr Merlino said the government acknowledged demand for vaccine appointments was high and urged people to be patient. He confirmed in the biggest investment in education ventilation in Australian history, 51,000 air purifiers would be in all government and low-fee non-government schools by the start of term one. This would remove potentially infectious particles – such as coronavirus – from high-risk areas in schools including staff rooms, sick

bays, music rooms and other high-traffic areas. Mr Merlino said these schools were also entitled to grants of up to $25,000 to buy shade sails, with $60-million invested to create more outdoor learning spaces and make it easier for outdoor learning to occur. “We’re also stepping up to help local doctors and community pharmacies to deliver more doses for the five-to-11-year-old cohort on school grounds as part of the Commonwealth’s coronavirus vaccination program,” he said. “Through a new $4-million grants program, the government is encouraging GPs and community pharmacists to establish additional mini-vaccination clinics at schools in areas that need more uptake, due to identified access challenges or increased risk of transmission.” The government also plans to roll out 30 popup vaccination clinics at primary schools across the state. The pop-ups will be open to all children aged five to 11, not just students attending the school hosting the clinic. Mr Merlino said the pop-up school vaccination sites would roll out during the coming weeks, with bookings available soon. “Families are encouraged to make a booking now at one of the many state-run sites open for children aged five to 11, or at one of the many local GPs and pharmacists delivering kids vaccines across the state,” he said.

College remains confident

Horsham College leader is confident the quality of education at the Wimmera’s largest secondary school ‘will continue as normal’ despite pressures surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leading teacher Caroline O’Donnell said the college was aware of the high rates of the Omicron variant in Horsham and acknowledged the chances of disruptions and a lack of staffing during term one. “Putting a teacher face-to-face with students might be difficult for all schools in the state in term one if staff become infected in high numbers,” she said. “COVID will be the main challenge this year for Horsham College. “If numbers settle down, it will be a very standard year.” Ms O’Donnell said during the pandemic, remote learning had benefited some students and others were unaffected. She said even though remote learning had maintained a stablisation of students’ academic results, the circumstances presented difficulties. “Remote teaching can certainly be challenging. The assessment has to be completely reworked, which can affect hands-on subjects,” she said. “Remote learning can also have an impact on isolation and mental health, which the college has put a lot of thought and time into addressing.” Ms O’Donnell said she believed most students at the college where keen to get back into the classroom.

Ms O’Donnell said Horsham College had been enrolling an increased number of Victorian Certificate of Education students and more students had meant more staff. “Having more teachers means if someone is out sick, there are other teachers who will be available for students and who will be able to support that teacher,” she said. Ms O’Donnell said there were about 130 year12 students enrolled at the school this year. She said this included roughly 30 Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning students. – Nick Ridley

Wimmera Southern Mallee Local Learning and Employment Network executive officer Tim Shaw said the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus had generated a new sense of uncertainty as educators planned for the 2022 school year. Mr Shaw said Omicron had spread widely throughout the state and Wimmera and had caused extra work for teachers and principals. He said educators were busy putting in place contingencies based around experiences involving remote learning. “Some students have adapted very well to remote learning and generally those students who have had a lot of support at home have done quite well from remote learning,” he said. “On the other hand, there have been some students from disadvantaged families – such as a lack of access to the internet and not having the family support at home to engage with – who have potentially fallen behind.” Mr Shaw said he believed remote learning would never replace face-to-face learning and emphasised that going to school was more than just fulfilling curriculum. “There will be more chances for blended learning, on-site learning and some remote learning this year. The social aspect of school is very big,” he said. “We have reports from schools that there

Limited edition Vanta revealed

WM Haval has announced a new flagship derivative for its H6 medium SUV range.

The range-topping H6 Vanta sits atop the H6 Ultra in Haval’s medium SUV line-up and is available for a limited time only with just 1000 units touching down in Australian showrooms. Based on the H6 Ultra derivative, the new H6 Vanta is priced from $39,990 drive-away in two-wheel drive format and $41,990 for the all-wheel-drive and features 19-inch black alloy wheels with a matching grille finish. It is available in four exterior colours: Burgundy Red, Blue Sapphire, Golden Black and Hamilton White. The model is otherwise unchanged from its derivative variant. Since the introduction of the H6 in Australia in April 2021, Haval has sold nearly 3500 units of the newcomer, which the firm says demonstrates the increased appeal of its heavily revised medium SUV. The brand notably secured a 3.1 percent share of the medium SUV segment in December, which saw it rank among the top 10 selling models in its segment for the first time. The second generation H6 is based on an all-new platform and sports a more muscular look than the outgoing model. Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbo-

The regular H6 line-up starts with the premium derivative, which is equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, a 10.25-inch digitised instrument panel and a same-sized infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and android auto compatibility, a reversing camera and rear parking

sensors, as well as a tyre-pressure monitoring system. The second-rung H6 Lux additionally features LED front fog lights, roof rails, a leather-clad steering wheel, heated Comfortek eco-leather seats, dual-zone climate control, an eightspeaker premium audio system, autodimming rear-view mirror, adaptive cruise control with ‘Stop and Go’ functionality and a 360-degree camera.

The flagship Ultra is the only H6 derivative to be available in two and all-wheel-drive guises. It comes equipped with 19-inch alloys, a panoramic roof, automatic tailgate, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, wireless phone charging, head-up display, heated and ventilated front seats, rear cross-traffic alert and a selfparking function. The standard safety equipment lineup for the H6 range includes seven air-

bags, AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning and keep assist, traffic sign recognition, lane change assist, blind-spot monitoring and driver-fatigue monitoring. The Haval H6 is unrated by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program, ANCAP, but scored a five-star C-NCAP result in its home market of China. Service intervals are set at 12 months-10,000km initially, with subsequent services spaced at 12 months15,000km. The H6 is covered by a seven-year unlimited-kilometre warranty, which includes five years’ roadside assistance and capped-price servicing. The Haval H6 measures 4653mm in length, 1886mm in width, 1724mm in height and rides on a 2738mm wheelbase. It has a braked towing capacity of 2000kg and provides between 6001485 litres of cargo space, placing it on par with rivals such as the Hyundai Tucson and Nissan X-Trail. In Australia, the GWM Haval H6 competes in the SUV medium under $60,000 category. Segment leaders in the category include the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi Outlander, Hyundai Tucson, Nissan X-Trail, Subaru Forester, Kia Sportage, Honda CR-V and MG HS. – Matt Brogan

Lamborghini sets sales record

amborghini had a record year in 2021, when it delivered 8405 vehicles worldwide.

Strong demand for the Urus SUV saw the brand’s sales increase by 13 percent compared with 2020. The Sant’Agata-based subsidiary of the VW Group registered doubledigit growth in all three of the macroregions in which the Italian brand is established: America up 14 percent, Asia Pacific, 14 percent, and Europe, Middle East and Africa, 12 percent. The company said it had maintained a ‘fairly balanced’ split between those regions in global volumes at 35, 27 and 39 percent respectively. The USA held on to top spot with 2,472 unit sales, with China in second

place, 935, followed by Germany, 706, and the United Kingdom, 564. VFACTS revealed Lamborghini sold 131 vehicles in Australia compared with the 111 it retailed in 2020. The Urus, of which 5021 units were delivered, was the brand’s top-seller, followed by the Huracán, 2586, and the Aventador, 798, super and hypercar models. In Australia, the balance between sales of Lamborghini SUVs, 64, and sportscars, 67, were almost even, however. Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and chief executive of Automobili Lamborghini, said the statistics confirmed ‘the solidity of our strategic plan, our brand’s outstanding reputation, the competence and passion of our people

and the exceptional professionalism of our 173 dealers in 52 markets’. Lamborghini launched the Huracán Super Trofeo Omologata, Aventador Ultimae and the somewhat controversial limited-run Countach LPI 800-4 during 2021. The brand said it had a ‘substantial order portfolio that already covered almost the entire production planned in 2022’. The company plans to unveil four new products during the next 12 months. It will launch its first hybrid production model in 2023 and electrify its entire range by the end of 2024, with the aim of cutting CO2 emissions by 50 percent from 2025 onwards. – Mike Fourie

Christian Devotions Continuing on the theme of letting go and moving forward into the new… It’s now mid- January 2022; as the new year rolled in a couple of weeks ago, some of us made various grandiose but well-intentioned New Year’s Resolutions and already we are in trouble! Depending on where you get your numbers, somewhere between 81 percent and 92 percent of New Year’s Resolutions fail. Put another way: At least 8 times out of 10, you are more likely to fall back into your old habits and patterns than you are to stick with new ones. Changing behaviors is difficult but not impossible.

PROBLEM 1: Trying to Change Everything at Once. SOLUTION: Pick one thing and do it well. The general consensus among behavior change researchers, is that you should focus on changing a very small number of habits at the same time. It has been suggested that we enter into overload when trying to change more than three habits at once. Keep the changes small – a little at a time; It’s like that saying, “how do you eat an elephant?” Answer: One bite at a time. Try focusing on building one new behavior into your life at a time. Once that habit becomes routine, then move on to the next one. The good news is, we do not have to do it alone. God wants to help us. He wants to change us but He requires us to do what we can and let Him do the rest. More on this subject next week. Irene Gould, Pastor Stawell Baptist Church

Parkrun for all ages BY NICK RIDLEY

arkrun events are creating friendships and getting residents outside and active instead of spending all their time indoors.

More than 60 participants ran, jogged or walked a Wimmera River parkrun course in Horsham from Sawyer Park on Saturday. Runner Michael White celebrated his 50th parkrun during the event. The top runners on Saturday were Owen Todd with a time of 18.46 minutes, Mark Hallam, 19.21 minutes, Patrick White, 20.27 minutes and Stephen Lang, 21.18 minutes. Wimmera River parkrun was established in August, 2018. Since then, 1558 participants have completed 9689 parkruns, covering 48,445 kilometres. To ensure the success of the event, 179 individuals have volunteered 1029 times. Organiser Andrew Sostheim said parkrun had a turbulent start with COVID-19, but had created friendships. He said during pre-COVID times there were about 80 to 90 people who attended the event, but since then the numbers had dropped to about 40 to 60 runners. “There are a lot of people who join in and start off as walkers and progress to jogging or running,” he said. Mr Sostheim said he enjoyed volunteering and loved the community engagement.

Michael White “There are a lot of people who turn up who are not involved with other community groups, such as football or netball, and it gives them some real engagement,” he said. “There have been a lot of friendships made and it’s open to all ages. “We get elderly women who walk and might drag their husbands along and they realise how good it is.”

TOP SINGLES: Betty Cozens and Daniel Gloury, pictured, are Horsham City Bowling Club singles champions. Glourey defeated Colin Morrell in the men’s final and Cozens won over Cheryl McDonald in the women’s final. The win was Gloury’s third singles title at the club and Cozens’ 14th.

Finals on horizon BY MICHAEL SCALZO

busy weekend for Horsham Hornets basketball led to men’s and women’s teams entering the upcoming bye-weekend with two assertive wins each in their Country Basketball League games.

With a weekend off to rest after a couple of tough double-headers in previous rounds, both Hornets teams head to the last round of the season with finals in sight. Lady Hornets thrashed Surfcoast 100-46 and backed it up against Warrnambool Mermaids 91-57, putting them third on the ladder heading into round eight. The women’s team will be hoping to lock in a top-four finish with two wins in the final round against Portland and Surfcoast. Lady Hornets coach Rebecca McIntyre said despite some players waiting to return from

COVID-19 isolation, the team was starting to play its best basketball. “We are really starting to get our consistency going, with a strong idea of offence and team structure,” she said. “We are focused on next week’s double-header, where two wins should be available for us. Then it is finals, where hopefully we are a good chance.” The men’s team will play second-placed Portland Coasters in Horsham in a fortnight to round out the season and cement its finals position, aiming for a thirdplace finish if results go its way. The men’s team beat Surfcoast Chargers in Torquay on Saturday 90-70 and had the best of Warrnambool Seahawks 79-52 in Horsham on Sunday. Men’s coach Scott Benbow said getting two wins on the weekend put the team in a fantastic position heading into finals.

“Saturday felt like a comfortable win for us,” he said. “Sunday was very tough, but a really good scalp for us to take with Warrnambool sitting just above us on the ladder.” Still missing key players due to COVID-19 isolation and interstate travel, Mr Benbow called upon two young players from the under-18s and a past Hornets player in a display of Hornets depth. “Mitch Amos and Hugh Dougherty joined us on Sunday against Warrnambool from the under-18s and Matty Lloyd, an ‘old’ Horsham boy home for Christmas, were three amazing inclusions for us – especially given the outs we still have at the moment,” he said. “Our goal was to play finals and we have made it with one game to go. We are playing really well and really fast and we do not fear anyone because our best basketball is as good as anyones.”

Bright futures Talented young Horsham Hornets basketballers representing country Victoria at the CountryMetro Challenge continue their path towards elite competition. Levi Munyard, Micah Livingstone and Elijah McKenzie represented country Victoria in an under-15s team, while Riley Downer played in an under-14s team. The Country Metro Challenge is an elite development tournament, from January 14 to 17, that includes some of country Victoria’s best young players competing in Melbourne against representative metro teams. The tournament replaced the Southern Cross Challenge this year due to state border closures and travel concerns. As part of a state basketball selection process, Munyard, Livingstone and Downer hope to be considered for a state program in the future. McKenzie was selected before the tournament. Under-18s women’s state team assistant coach and Lady Hornets senior coach Rebecca McIntyre said it was an ‘amazing’ experience for the young basketballers. “That they are in the top 30, under-15 players in country Victoria, is exceptional on its own. To compete against the best kids in the state and to be a part of that high-performance environment is such an important experience,” she said.

Blue Panthers set for return BY DEAN LAWSON

upanyup-Minyip will step back into Horsham Cricket Association’s A Grade spotlight on Saturday night as it attempts to find the form it needs to be a serious finals challenger this season. The Blue Panthers have had an extended New Year break and return to action, against Jung Tigers, at Horsham City Oval. A series of post-Christmas T20 matches continues and both sides will be desperate for victories to place them in a good position in a run home to finals. Rupanyup-Minyip is sitting fourth in a five-team competition, but figures suggest it is well off the finals pace, having won only one game this season. It has also yet to register T20 points. The Blue Panthers have an exciting list and when considering the top order of Jamie Byrne, Bailey Young, Daniel Schaper and emerging talent Connor Weidemann, could easily get their season back on track. Jung Tigers, meanwhile, are thereabouts as a finalist, but also need to find general consistency with bat and ball to be a serious threat. In their return T20 game against competition pacesetter Noradjuha-Toolondo last week, the Tigers’ 118 fell short of being enough to contain the Bullants. Captain Angus Adams chimed in with 43 in the middle order and Tyler Puls made 21, but other meaningful contributions were absent. The Tigers were okay with the ball, but Noradjuha-Toolondo passed the target with a bit over an over to spare and only four wickets down. The under-lights action on Saturday starts at 6pm in what for many is proving a popular weekend sporting fixture. Friday night cricket at 7pm the day before at the city oval is also attracting plenty of interest, with a charging Noradjuha-Toolondo up against Homers. The Bullants always seem to find a player to fill particular roles and last week, Shane Oakley stop-scored for the team in the middle order with an unbeaten 39. Matt Combe made 28 and also captured four wickets with his medium-pacers. The Bullants have plenty of high-profile performers and also have strong back-up, particularly with the ball via Jordan McDonald and Anthony Cutter. Oakley’s leg-spin is also dangerous. An enterprising Homers team returned from the break with victory over West Wimmera. The Pigeons kept the Warriors to 129 last

SAFE: Homers’ Logan Miller safely retrieves a ball while in the outfield during Horsham Cricket Association action. FORM: Paddy Mills sends down a delivery for Homers during an A Grade T20 match against West Wimmera. Pictures: RILEY KEEL week before clipping past the target in only 13 overs. Luke Deutscher took the long handle to the westerners, scoring 86 off 43 balls in a knock including eight sixes and seven fours. Paddy Mills also made 25 in an opening partnership of 95. Earlier, Homers off-spinner Chaminda Gamage captured 4-20. West Wimmera produced good results through first drop James Philip, unbeaten on 47, Nathan Alexander, 31, and Tim Braendler with 21 down the order. The Warriors have a bye this weekend. This week: T20 games, Horsham City Oval, Friday, 7pm, Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants v Homers; Saturday, 6pm, Jung Tigers v Rupanyup-Minyip. Last week: Homers 2-130 (L. Deutscher 86, P. Mills 25) d Rupanyup-Minyip 7-129 (J. Philip 47no, N. Alexander 31; C. Gamage 4-20), Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants 4-121 (S. Oakley 39no, M. Combe 28) d Jung Tigers 8-118 (A. Adams 43; M. Combe 4-17). Ladder: Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants 48 points, 1.74 percent; Jung Tigers 30, 1.08; Homers 30, 0.99; Rupanyup-Minyip 21, 0.55; West Wimmera 15, 0.90.

Runs galore in Grampians cricket T

BY ONE SHORT

he talking point in Grampians Cricket Association is the huge score Swifts-Great Western made against Chalambar at the weekend.

The Combine amassed 4-306 in a match that moved from Alexandra Oval to Gordon Street reserve in Ararat. The Combine batted first with skipper Sam Cocks reaching a personal best of 172 and hitting 13 fours and 16 sixes. Along the way he featured in a 165run opening partnership with Tom Eckel, 68, and then a 124-run partnership with Jessie Eckel, 46. Chalambar, faced with the daunting task of scoring at nearly eight runs an over, succumbed for 112 in 23 overs. Of note in this game was the return of premiership bowler Jay Moody, who took 2-14 from five overs. At Stawell’s Central Park, Youth Club’s batting again let the side down, dismissed for just 62 runs when attempting to chase down Buangor-Tatyoon’s modest 146. This was the fifth time Clubbers batsmen had failed to register three figures. Batting first, Buangor-Tatyoon openers Riley Wood and Jacob Bates put on 76, which turned out to be better than half the score.

PERSONAL BEST: Swifts-Great Western skipper Sam Cocks made 172 runs on Saturday, including 13 fours and 16 sixes. The Combine amassed 4-306 against Chalambar. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Clinton Slorach and Nic Baird each took three wickets for the winners and David Brady and James Phillips also captured three each for the Clubbers. A win to the Clubbers would have established their position in the four, but they now slip back to the other

hopefuls. A match between Halls Gap and Pomonal, along with a B Grade game, has shifted to February 5 due to COVID-19 restrictions. The association’s pennant committee had wisely left this date free for such a contingency.

The main game this weekend is between the top two teams, Buangor-Tatyoon and Swifts-Great Western and both teams will be looking to cement their position at the top of the ladder. At the moment the Combine’s bats-

men are on fire with the last three scores reading 272, 210 and 306. This means the Hawks attack of Callum Baker, James Phillips and Jacob Bates will have to be on its mettle to contain the Combine’s Sam Cocks, the Eckel brothers, Matt Heffer and others to a reasonable score that the Cronin brothers, Riley Wood and James Phillips can run down. Jarrod Blandford has not played much this season, but still could be a factor in this game. Both Youth Club and Chalambar have an opportunity for redemption when they take on Halls Gap and Pomonal respectively This week: Buangor-Tatyoon v Swifts-Great Western, Youth Club v Halls Gap at Central Park, Stawell, Chalambar v Pomonal at Alexandra Oval, Ararat. Last week: Buangor-Tatyoon 146 (R. Wood 51, J. Bates 25; C. Slorach 3-14, N. Baird 3-30) d Youth Club 62 (J. Phillips 3-6, D Brady 3-19), SwiftsGreat Western 4-306 (S. Cocks 172, T. Eckel 68, J. Eckel 46) d Chalambar 112 (S. Pilgrim 74). Ladder: Buangor-Tatyoon 39 points, 1.7 percent; Swifts-Great Western 36, 2.88; Youth Club 18, 1.10; Halls Gap 12, 0.55; Chalambar 12, 0.51; Pomonal 12, 0.40.

Expo to open opportunities A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

s sporting clubs remain optimistic about the return to normal scheduling in 2022, Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly is working behind the scenes to provide opportunities for people to get back into sport.

The assembly is hosting a ‘sports expo’ on January 30, showcasing regional clubs to people thinking of joining a new community. Clubs and associations have the chance to staff a stall and present their community to Wimmera people, with information on membership details and competition structure available. Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly COVID project co-ordinator Mikayla Smith said the hope was the expo might remove some of the barriers to people joining a sports club or community. “Sporting clubs can sometimes be intimidating if you haven’t played sport before or if you are new to town and are looking to make friends – it can be a stressful and anxious experience,” she said. Miss Smith said removing these factors was an important step for clubs

eager to grow their community. “Having all these sports in one spot makes it a lot easier for everyone,” she said. “There is no commitment for anyone to join a club straight away, it is about taking those first steps towards giving it a go.” Miss Smith said sporting clubs and associations were often a ‘lifeblood’ of regional communities and COVID-19 had been a disruptor in ‘significant’ ways. “The limitations placed on sporting clubs have affected the wider community in more than just a sporting context,” she said. “The social and mental health of Wimmera people has suffered a lot.” Miss Smith said she hoped the sports expo gave sporting groups and new members the chance to start 2022 ‘with a bang’. “There are so many reasons for people of all ages to join a sporting club,” she said. “There is the chance to meet brilliant new people, make friends, keep active and social and most importantly a chance to have some fun. “Whether it’s playing billiards, chess or football, everyone should join a club.”
