Big win for town A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

long-running campaign to revamp and merge Warracknabeal’s public schools will finally come to fruition after the State Government pledged to finish the build.

Warracknabeal Education Precinct secured a spot in the State Government’s $2.9-billion statewide school-construction blitz, aimed to kick-start Victoria’s economy. A $19.8-million commitment will go towards the final stage of the precinct, with buildings set to open in 2022. The funding will enable completion of a precinct for Warracknabeal Secondary College, primary and special developmental schools, with a central and consolidated administration area, gymnasium and function room. The schools were ‘left in the dark’ when construction came to a standstill in late 2018, after $6-million in State Government funding in 2016-17. After missing out on funding in the 2017-18 State Government budget, a parent-driven advocacy group called ‘Finish What You Started’ emerged, leading a campaign to complete the project. Parent and campaigner Karly Kirk, who has children attending Warracknabeal Primary School, said the announcement was a massive boost for the Warracknabeal community. “It means so much. It’s so much more than just building new school rooms, the flow-on of this could be life-changing for our community,” she said. “I grew up in Warracknabeal, moved away and came back. I knew I’d be making some sacrifices moving here, but I didn’t think that would be my children’s education. “I feel like that’s been amended now with this – we won’t have a school that was unsafe with so many issues.” Mrs Kirk said she hoped the project to tie all three schools together could also potentially provide student-support services to bolster learning outcomes.

“What we want is a wrap-around of services to support families – somewhere you can get any resource you need,” she said. “Our hope is parents and children who need extra support don’t fall through the cracks.” Mrs Kirk said the outcome of Monday’s announcement was the result of years of collaborative planning and campaigning from the Warracknabeal and broader community. “It’s been a community-driven project – so many people had an impact,” she said. “Even people who don’t live in Warracknabeal anymore contributed in their own little way.” The group’s advocating resulted in support from State Government ministers and representatives for Western Victoria, Jaala Pulford, Stuart Grimley and Andy Meddick, who visited the schools in the past year. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy fought alongside the community for more than five years to help secure the funding. She mentioned the precinct 132 times in State Parliament, consistently urging the government to recognise the project’s importance. Yarriambiack Shire Council also acted as a link between the advocacy group and State Government. Mayor Graeme Massey, a former teacher at the secondary college, has backed the project for more than a decade. “The credit goes to our local politicians and a very keen advocacy group – they kept the profile in the public eye,” he said. “Our role through it all was to make the conduit between the groups advocating and the elected representatives.” Cr Massey said he expected the project would boost Warracknabeal’s economy. “This will create employment and stimulate businesses, because people who come here to work, will stay,” he said. “Accommodation will be provided and they’ll be buying things in town – over a twoyear period.” Continued page 3

Recreational prospectors can search for minerals and gemstones in groups of up to 10 people, while maintaining physical distancing of 1.5 metres. Under the rules, fossickers should ensure they can get to and from target locations within a day, because camping and overnight stays are banned. Fossicking under rules governed by a miner’s right licence is permitted in state forests and regional parks, some national and state parks and waterways. It is also allowed on private property with landholder permission. Gold-rich areas of the Wimmera are traditionally popular with fossickers. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Bright outlook for regional mining V

BY DEAN LAWSON

ictorian mining advocates are confident Wimmera sand mining will play a major role alongside agriculture in rekindling economic growth as the state emerges from the COVID-19 threat.

They expect strong international demand for minerals, found in massive deposits across the region, and for the industry to be an important part of an economic stimulant mix moving forward. Minerals Council of Australia’s Victoria executive director James Sorahan said expectations surrounding mineral-sand prospects for the region remained unchanged if mining projects either underway or in planning stages lived up to expectations. “What this crisis has shown us is that mining and agriculture – primary industries that produce raw materials

– hold up well and can get through these shocks to the economy,” he said. “Mining overall, fortunately, is an essential industry that keeps operating. When you look at other states with mining operations, they have continued to export during the crisis. “Circumstances are also showing that having diverse economic drivers are important.” Mr Sorahan said with four of the world’s largest sand-mining projects within a 70-kilometre radius of Horsham, mining in the Wimmera could well help anchor a regional Victorian economy. Horsham is also primed to become a mining hub. “If and when new mining ventures get started in the Wimmera they will each employ a couple of hundred people and have long operational time frames,” he said. “And while these projects are still in early stages in investment and resourcing, the potential remains un-

changed. Victoria has some of the highest-grade mineral sands in the world and there are people interested in developing this resource.” In October last year, Mr Sorahan predicted transformational socio-economic conditions in the region if mining prospects became reality. He said at the time an area stretching north from Ararat through Northern Grampians, Horsham, Yarriambiack and Buloke municipalities, was on the cusp of becoming a mining hot spot – for gold and copper as well as mineral sands. Mr Sorahan said the influence of mining in regional development would come down to factors such as international commodity markets, government policies and the direction of companies.

Booklet

Minerals Council of Australia outlined its assessment of the oppor-

tunity mineral sands represented in a new publication, Mineral Sands: From ancient oceans to modern technology, available online at minerals. org.au/news/huge-global-opportunityaustralia’s-mineral-sands. Minerals Council of Australia chief executive Tania Constable explained in the booklet how Australia had 32 percent of the world’s titanium, 62 percent of rutile and 68 percent of zircon. She said rutile and ilmenite were used in the production of paint, titanium metal and medical implants. Zircon is used in ceramics, digital printing, dentistry and electrical parts. Smaller quantities of rare-earth elements were also produced through mineral sands used in wind-turbine magnets, and in medical, manufactured and electronic products such as fibre optics, rechargeable batteries and hybrid cars. Mr Sorahan encouraged people keen

to know more about sand mining, what was involved and how it would have an impact on the WimmeraMallee to read the booklet. “The hope is the booklet will provide the Wimmera community, in particular, with useful information about how this development might look in the region,” he said. “We have four development projects at various stages of approval, with a couple quite advanced with mining, based on approvals and funding, scheduled to get underway in three years.” WIM Resource has its Avonbank site at Dooen, north of Horsham, Iluka Resources’ Wimmera Project is between Noradjuha and Toolondo, Murray Zircon is sitting on an expansive WIM 150 prospective mine at St Helens Plains east of Horsham, and Donald is home to Astron’s Donald Mineral Sands project.

Light for Luv-a-Duck

Warracknabeal precinct a reality From page 1 Warracknabeal Primary School principal Ben Tait said he anticipated construction would start towards the end of 2020. “They want boots on the ground – I’d be surprised if the ground wasn’t broken into before the end of this year,” he said.

“We know in the current climate getting people working isn’t something for 12 months’ time, it’s for now.” He said having the project ‘shovel ready’ would streamline the process. “This project is costed and ready to go, otherwise it wouldn’t have been included in this round of funding,”

he said. “That’s testament to the hard work and continued push from various community members and support from the ministers.” Mr Tait said the upgraded facilities would greatly enhance the school’s ability to attract and retain staff. • Editorial, page 7.

of calling back eight of 34 stood-down staff to help supply the fresh demand from loyal supporters. “We have obviously had to cut back production to meet the market’s falling demand,” he said. “When the government restrictions were announced in March, we lost more than 70 percent of our business overnight. It was like the flicking of a switch – you can’t prepare for that.” Mr Thompson said thankfully the business qualified for the Federal Government’s JobKeeper program, which he said he hoped would continue through to the end of September as planned. “It is a very challenging time but all businesses that rely on the food-service industry are in the same boat,” he said. “I think the government’s National Cabinet has done a great job. They had to make tough decisions to protect the people of this country. “We are optimistic that if things go well, the government will continue to ease restrictions. However, we expect recovery to be a gradual and slow process, it won’t happen overnight.” Mr Thompson said Luv-a-Duck remained committed to continuing its growth trajectory after coming through the other side of the pandemic. “Luv-a-Duck is a family business founded on strength and grit,” he said. “It has endured challenges in the past and we will successfully get through this one.” – Sarah Matthews

Luv-a-Duck leaders are welcoming a slight increase in business due to the easing of coronavirus restrictions on food providers as they continue to ‘weather the storm’ created by COVID-19. More than 60 jobs throughout the long-running family business, founded and based at Nhill, have been lost due to the pandemic. Chief executive James Thompson said the virus had affected all 158 staff at the Nhill processing plant, along with supporters and growing and breeding partners. “We have had to make 11 redundancies, including three at Nhill, and 39 stand-downs, 34 at Nhill,” he said. “We had to terminate 15 casuals at Nhill and several other casuals throughout parts of the business. “We have dropped processing at Nhill from five days to three, all staff have had a wage freeze and senior executives volunteered to have wage cuts. “We have done this with an eye to getting the ship through the storm until the clouds clear and the sun shines. “Everyone is banding together to ensure we come out the other side bigger and stronger.” Mr Thompson said Luv-a-Duck had received a small boost thanks to governments in other states and territories easing restrictions on cafes, restaurants, pubs and hotels. Victoria’s staged reopening of the hospitality industry starts next month. Mr Thompson said he was hopeful

Tentative move for sport C

BY DEAN LAWSON

ommunity football and netball in the region will take a tentative first step in returning to normality with the release of new COVID-19 training guidelines.

But strict ‘get in, train and get out’ directions, which come into force for netball tomorrow and for football from Monday, remain far removed from clubs being able to rekindle social connections many consider important for traditional community team sport. Working within State Government restrictions, club-sanctioned outdoor training sessions can only occur in groups of no more than 10 people. Each group can have a coach and ‘minimum number of support staff reasonably required to manage the activity’. In football, two groups can use an oval, provided the oval is split into two zones and that the groups do not interact. Netball is confined to one group per court, which becomes a designated zone. Again, groups from different zones cannot mix. Participants must maintain 1.5-metre social distancing and exercises are strictly non-contact. Balls are permitted as part of limited equipment. AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon, who discussed details with Wimmera and Horsham District league clubs last night, said guidelines provided clubs with some direction around training in a safe environment. “Safety has to be our main aim. Sure football and netball is important, but this pandemic kills people and we need to keep that in mind,” he said. “If players want to return to training, this at least gives us some clear guidelines and everyone must abide by the protocols.” Mr Muldoon said players would have no access to change rooms

FIRST STEPS: Dimboola Football Netball Club players Nicole Polycarpou and Ben Miller cannot wait to get back into club-sanctioned training sessions. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER or social opportunities apart from during training drills. “It really is a case of get in and get out,” he said. “In football, we’re also asking that every club have at least one person who has undertaken Federal Government online COVID-19 Infection Control Training and for clubs to gain approval from their relevant local government to access ovals. “We can’t stress enough a need for a common sense and safe approach. “This is about training and then going home. This is the first very small step in the many steps we will have to take on a path to returning to play.” In-depth details about latest rules surrounding both sports are available on AFL website www. afl.com.au/clubhelp/covid-19/faqs/ return-faqs and Netball Victoria website www.vic.netball.com.au/ covid-19-information.

Regional sport and development leaders, meanwhile, have encouraged football and netball clubs to use the lockdown to assess their club position and plan for a sustainable future. Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly and Wimmera Development Association will host a virtual forum at 7.30pm tonight to help equip club members with skills to make informed decisions. Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said it was important football and netball clubs continued to thrive. “Sports clubs are the pillars of small communities and are part of what makes our region so attractive,” he said. “It is important boards and committees can have the discussions that will allow them to move forward.”

The details come with much of the region continuing to remain free of new COVID-19 cases and Victoria appearing to be keeping the spread of the virus under control. To yesterday, 100 of 1573 recorded cases in Victoria remained active. Of the Victorian cases, 1301 had been in metropolitan Melbourne, 231 in regional Victoria and others remained under investigation. There were no official active cases in Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians fringe areas. With preparations for students returning to school underway, a Horsham COVID-19 Assessment Clinic has been testing asymptomatic school staff members during dedicated morning sessions this week. The clinic is open to the general public from 1pm to 5pm daily. Normal 11am to 5pm clinic times will resume from this Saturday.

Money pours in for projects A long-term project to establish the region as a national off-road cycling-adventure destination has taken a major step forward on the back of significant State Government funding. The government, which this week announced a Building Works program to help stimulate economic recovery, will provide $2.7-million for a 50-kilometre Ararat Regional Park Mountain Bike Trails project. The mountain-bike project is part of a broader Grampians 10-year cycling masterplan stretching from Bacchus Marsh to the South Australian border. Wimmera Development Association developed the cycling trails business and masterplan, which involves 11 municipal councils, in 2018. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the council was pleased to hear it would receive the money to start building the trails in Ararat Hills Regional Park. He said the council would contribute $300,000 to the project. “The council has been working on the Ararat Regional Park Mountain Bike Trails project for several years and had applied for State Government funding late last year,” he said. “It’s fantastic the funding has been approved as part of the government’s $2.7-billion Building Works package. “The project will not only provide jobs to local people during the coronavirus recovery phase, but will provide a fantastic tourism asset for many years to come.” Ararat Primary School has also had financial success under the building program, with the government providing an additional $495,000 to the $55,000 allocated in its 2019-20 budget. The school money will go towards transforming sporting facilities and upgrading a sports oval and courts. The government has also announced significant funding for a Horsham court development and Buloke Shire revitalisation projects. The government has allocated $950,000 to improve safety and security at Horsham court and $4-million to enhance streetscapes and town entrances to Donald, Charlton, Birchip, Sea Lake and Wycheproof.

Mighty win for Warracknabeal

‘S

uddenly the ‘guns’ stopped firing, leading everyone to look at each other in disbelief’.

That would sum up the thoughts of many as news sunk in this week that the State Government had committed the money needed to finish a Warracknabeal Education Precinct project. Phew! And by the way, that’s right… to finish the project. More than just a lazy few dollars as part of an extended staggered process – the whole box and dice – almost $20-million. The money came through a $1.18-billion education building program in the government’s $2.7-billion statewide Building Works stimulus package. To say it was welcome would be an understatement. Advocates, from regional politicians to mums and dads, have been relentless in pushing for the government to complete this project and the news would have

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

come as both shock and enormous relief. A Warracknabeal community ‘finish what you started’ campaign has been at the core of the campaign to complete a project to consolidate Warracknabeal primary, secondary and special development schools at one site. The government provided an initial $6-million for the project in 2016-17, but further development had since been in limbo with students and teachers unable to fully capitalise on new facilities. The more cynical among us will quickly suggest that it took a pandemic and a need to capitalise on shovel-ready projects to

stimulate the state economy for the government to finally act. But for the moment, and in understanding that sometimes it takes all sorts of means to achieve an end, let’s just celebrate the win. We can ponder over the politics later, when the COVID-19 pandemic has run its course. Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford, in announcing the funding, and Member for Lowan Emma Kealy, who has campaigned for more than five years on the project, were both right. Ms Pulford: “The Warracknabeal community deserves no less. They have been so patient and I’m thrilled that we will now be able to finish what we started here and create jobs.” Ms Kealy: “To everyone involved with the campaign – teachers, parents, students and the wider community who never gave up – this achievement is testament to your dedication.”

Bee kind to bees day Haven apiarist or bee-keeper Kerrie Flett has suggested people grow a variety of flowers to extend a flowering season in efforts to encourage bees in the garden environment. She said, in response to World Bee Day today, that bees were particularly attracted to blue, purple, violet, white and yellow flowers. “Bees drink a lot of water, so it’s good to be able to provide a water source,” she said. “This can be a pond or bird bath, and be sure there are some rocks or even shade cloth in the water source so the bees don’t drown. “Don’t use chemicals and pesticides because many of these can kill bees. If you must use them, try using them in the evening when the bees are back in their hives, avoiding contact. “Don’t panic when you spot a bee close to you. Remain calm and walk away if they are particularly interested in you. Usually they are just going about their business.” Householders’ Options to Protect the Environment, HOPE, has been encouraging people around the world to get involved in an online Waggle Dance Challenge, in the lead-up to today. The challenge is an Australian-led, global effort to raise awareness of the importance of bees for food and the environment. Apart from European honey bees, which are important for commercial food crops as well as honey production, Australia is home to a vast variety of native bees, most of them solitary with unique pollen-gathering techniques.

‘I’ll be around for a while yet’ BY SARAH MATTHEWS

oger Murray joined Ambulance Victoria aged 25 after deciding he ‘couldn’t be a labourer the rest of his life’. Today, he celebrates 35 years serving the Wimmera community as a paramedic. Mr Murray, 59, has been based in Horsham throughout his career and said being part of the city’s vibrant community was a highlight of his position. “In bigger cities like Melbourne you might get a thank-you card for something you’ve done, but you’re unlikely to see that person again,” he said. “When you’re part of the community you see people you know all the time. You might bump into someone you’ve treated at Woolworths and have a chat. “There are familiar faces everywhere – I really enjoy that.” Ambulance Victoria paramedics aim to improve the health of the community by providing high-quality prehospital care and medical transport. They have a reputation for being highly skilled and educated. Mr Murray said joining Ambulance Victoria 35 years ago was remarkably different from today, where recruits must complete a three-year university degree in paramedicine. “These days, it is more of a profession,” he said. “They come out of university so qualified now. They are very well educated in a clinical sense and of course, they go on to benefit from on-the-job experience. I am the oldest at the branch now and it’s terrific seeing the younger paramedics come through.” Mr Murray has spent years helping

colleagues as a clinical instructor, focusing on clinical, operational and professional development of students and paramedics. “I did that for many, many years and I also taught First Aid for 23 or 24 years,” he said. “I only recently gave that away for a better work-life balance.” Mr Murray said although he had experienced many changes throughout his career, advancements in clinical skills was the most significant. “The skillset has changed a lot since I first started,” he said. “I always say that back then we only carried two basic drugs – oxygen and an analgesic. These days, we carry and use a wide range of emergency medications. “Clinically, what we do now is remarkable.” He said protocols had changed slightly for Wimmera paramedics throughout the coronavirus pandemic, including wearing personal protective equipment such as masks, goggles and gloves. “In some presentations we treat people a little differently, but otherwise things are pretty similar,” he said. “It’s nothing like in Melbourne. Those guys are really on the front line – I take my hat off to them. “Our case numbers have been low up here so it’s been good.” Mr Murray said there were many advantages to a career in paramedicine. “We always joke about the old saying that we love to help people,” he said. “But you do feel something when you can make a better outcome for someone. We are always trying to

MAJOR MILESTONE: Horsham paramedic Roger Murray is celebrating 35 years of service with Ambulance Victoria, today. improve people’s outcomes, whether it’s mentally or medically.” Mr Murray struggled to think of a downside to his role. “Shift work is part of the job, as is attending fatalities,” he said. “It’s obviously not something that you like doing – and it always affects you – but it is a part of your work. “For me the best thing is being part of a team. I’ve made some good friends along the way, and some of the guys I started out with, I’ve been lucky enough to work with for more than 20 years.”

Mr Murray said he would recommend a career with Ambulance Victoria. “I often say every job has its ups and downs, including this one, but I am very grateful for my career with Ambulance Victoria,” he said. “I don’t think I would have made a different career choice, even if I was asked. It’s been good. “I love that every day is different – nothing is ever the same. It keeps you excited. “I’ll be around for a while yet.”

Businesses in spotlight Wimmera and southern Mallee businesses have an opportunity to help shape sustainability and support programs and projects in the region. Wimmera Development Association is calling on businesses to provide feedback to help in the development of regional schemes. Association project manager Mark Fletcher said the Australian Business Economic Impact Survey, ABEIS, aimed to respond to the rapid change businesses had experienced as a result of COVID-19. Data-collection specialist REMPLAN is managing the survey and providing insight throughout the pandemic. Mr Fletcher said the survey asked people to reflect on their business make-up; forecast the impact of the coronavirus disruption on revenue, customers, staffing and production of goods; and investigate priorities for coming months to assess business capacity to adapt to changing and challenging times. He said the association and councils could access a breakdown of feedback relative to location. “REMPLAN economic modelling is highly recognised by the State Government for planning applications, and local governments use the information for future planning and project development, business support and grant applications,” he said. “The more information this survey can collect, the more representative it will be – for shires and industries.” Mr Fletcher said people could visit website surveys.remplan.com.au/s3/ REMPLAN-COVID-19-ABEIS to access the survey.

Partial return for hospitality venues W

BY DYLAN DE JONG

hile Wimmera venue owners eagerly await being able to reopen, many have taken the opportunity of forced closures to build on their establishments.

Pubs, cafes and restaurants can reopen to 20 customers on June 1, with the possibility of up to 100 patrons in mid-July. But Premier Daniel Andrews stressed this was not a done deal, and continuing high levels of COVID-19 testing was essential to inform the staggered approach to reopening venues. He said venues would need to adhere to strict physical-distancing measures when opening and would be required to do extra cleaning, staff health screening and temperature checks. Venues will also be required to take the contact details of every customer to assist in rapid contact tracing. Countrywide lockdowns in March pushed many venues to resort to a takeaway only menu to keep their business viable through COVID-19. However, owners of Horsham’s White Hart and Bull and Mouth hotels decided it was time to upgrade. White Hart publican Bruce Hartigan closed his doors and is now preparing to reopen with a fresh look. Mr Hartigan said he was able to keep his staff employed to help paint the building, install new carpets and revitalise the establishment’s accommodation wing. “Once JobKeeper came in we could pay staff, and that’s been keeping them active. They’re happy to be here and they’ve done a fantastic job painting the building,” he said. Mr Hartigan said he wanted to keep his business moving forward despite the massive hit to the hospitality industry. “We couldn’t do takeaway, it wasn’t viable to have lights on, staff on and buying produce, if

you’re not selling anything it’s just going off,” he said. “But we’re all doing it tough at the moment. It’s a tough climate and it’s not going to get easier for a year or two.” Mr Hartigan said the staggered approach to reopening venues to only 20 people at a time was economically challenging. “Because of legislation there will be a lot of work in reopening,” he said. “If I open like that, I’m going to lose money, I’ll lose between $5000 and $10,000 a week, but we’ll worry about that when we come to it.” Bull and Mouth publican Simon Mitchell has been working with Wimmera contractors to build a verandah, paint rooms and rebuild the bar top at his venue. Mr Mitchell has managed the venue since 2009 and transformed it into a social hub in Horsham. His venue is also renowned as a pillar for Horsham’s live entertainment sector, attracting musicians from across the region to perform. Mr Mitchell said he hoped he could retain the hub he had built throughout a decade when restrictions were fully lifted. “We’ve created a great social hub – I can’t see us getting back to capacity, with a band and 150 people, until December this year,” he said. “We’ve just got to make people feel safe and welcome again when we come back. “You’ve just got to consistently believe you’re doing the right thing, producing the best food you can and the best environment you can, that’s all you can hope to achieve.” Mr Mitchell said he was staying positive despite the uncertainty. “Our industry has been the worst affected, but just staying busy is the best thing you can do,” he said. “We’re very positive in every situation there’s a good outcome.”

Waterways in fine shape BY DEAN LAWSON

immera waters are set to become a magnet for anglers with easing of COVID-19 restrictions allowing people to return to their favourite fishing haunts.

Reports suggest the Wimmera River and regional lakes are teeming with life and early autumn rain has likely improved conditions further. Data collected from Horsham’s annual Labor Day fishing competition in March suggested a vibrant and healthy Horsham district section of the Wimmera River. Suggestions were of similar conditions both upstream and downstream of the area. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority’s Greg Fletcher said the catches in the Horsham competition produced interesting insight about the river in Horsham. “The numbers of fish have been ticking along at a reasonable level, but there has been a marked increase in average weights over the years,” he said. “This indicates that Horsham weir pool is performing as a productive food web, enabling stocked fish species to survive and thrive. “There is a very good abundance of micro and macroinvertebrates such as plankton and shrimp to act as a food source and they have benefitted from a good abundance of aquatic plants including eelgrass and pondweed to act as habitat.” Horsham weir pool stretches from

Riverside on the eastern fringe of Horsham to Horsham weir. Mr Fletcher, Wimmera CMA water project and planning officer, said the contest revealed the numbers of noxious carp, in comparison with native fish, were relatively low. “The carp caught all tended to be older fish, indicating that there has not been much carp recruitment,” he said. “This was probably due to the lack of large or flood flows, fine efforts by anglers in taking them out of the river and probably more predatory pressure from native species on the small juvenile carp.” Mr Fletcher said catchment managers expected similar conditions further downstream to Dimboola. “Conditions become more challenging further on, due to times of relatively low water and higher salinity levels,” he said. But Mr Fletcher said an environmental-water flow schedule and consistent fish-stocking rates indicated the river would provide good for fishing opportunities in the near future. He said an autumn break in the region would have a beneficial impact on the river system across the region. “The river is starting to flow quite early and it is definitely in a better position than the past couple of years,” he said. “Rain increases opportunities to connect remnant pools and promotes diversity of life. Rain means you get more bang for your buck with environmental flows.

CATCH OF THE DAY: Mark James wasted no time dropping a line in after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, heading to Lake Wartook where he bagged a rainbow trout. “It really bodes well – to have the upper river flowing in April is quite unusual and if it continues through May and June we will have very good river conditions.” A comparative analysis of

Meeting tonight for Great Vic ride Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians communities involved in this year’s Great Vic Bike Ride can learn more about the event during an online meeting tonight. Bicycle Network leaders will host a meeting via Zoom at 6pm to showcase opportunities for business and community groups to become involved. The 2020 Great Vic Bike Ride is due to start at Rainbow on November 28, with participants making their way through Brim, Horsham, Halls Gap, Dunkeld and Pomonal before finishing in Great Western on December 6. Bicycle Network general manager of events Rebecca Lane said organisers usually hosted community meetings in each town the ride spent a night in. She said due to coronavirus restrictions, the meeting would now be online. The meeting is designed to give community members an opportunity to chat with Bicycle

Network’s event management team and learn more about the event, including how they can benefit. Ms Lane said there were several ways communities could become involved, from hosting fundraising stalls at campsites to businesses supporting riders and volunteers in towns. Up to 3000 riders plus volunteers and staff are expected to participate in the Great Vic Bike Ride. Great Vic riders spend an average of $30 a day, delivering more than $800,000 to communities. Ms Lane said Bicycle Network was monitoring the coronavirus situation and continuing planning for the event. “It’s been a tricky start to 2020 but we really want to help people have a nice end of the year, whether that’s riding the Great Vic or benefitting from the event coming to town,” she said. To participate in the online meeting, people need to register online at greatvic.com.au.

Online training for candidates Horsham Rural City Council is encouraging people to put their hand up to stand for the council at this year’s October election. Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said with less than six months to the next election, it was important prospective candidates had the information and support they needed. “HRCC has many opportunities for great achievements ahead and like other municipalities, there will be challenges to navigate and significant decisions to be made to guide the future directions of our municipality,” he said. “Standing for council is the ultimate way to be part of that essential decision making for our community.” Victorian Local Government Association, VLGA, is offering online training opportunities for council candidates. The council and VLGA will host a 1.5-hour pre-candidate information session at 5.30pm on May 28. Other information and registration details are available on the council’s website. Closer to the election, candidates will need to complete separate training, mandatory for all people running for local government. Special training for female candidates is also available. The Local Women Leading Change candidate training program, supported by the State Government, consists of two modules, Local Government 101 and Candidate Development. These modules will be available by video and supported by interactive Zoom workshops, in response to COVID-19 restrictions. The ‘Local Government 101’ videos are live on the VLGA website, www.vlga.org.au/advocacy/ womens-policy/online-workshops. The VLGA is also producing a weekly Local Women Leading Change Podcast, where women can explore aspects of local government elections in detail. The Horsham council is urging anyone interested in learning more about being a councillor and the work of local government to register for the online workshop, watch the VLGA videos and listen to the weekly podcasts.

Being true to his ‘authentic self’ “He’s the bravest person I know because he has the confidence to be himself – even though society might think he should be a different way”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera LGBTIQ advocacy groups virtually unified at the weekend to celebrate International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia, IDAHOBIT.

The annual day is a chance to reflect on progress and raise awareness of the violence and discrimination LGBTIQ communities have faced worldwide. Wimmera Pride Project secretary Renae Bartlett resonates with the IDAHOBIT message. She is a strong advocate for the LGBTIQ community and wanted to share a personal journey in hope of reaching out to anyone who might be struggling or feeling isolated because of their identity. In December last year, Ms Bartlett helped her transgender son Zac ‘socially transition’. Zac was assigned female at birth and uses male pronouns and lives as a boy. Zac, 9, has ‘never wavered’ from his identity as a male. Ms Bartlett said ever since the transition he had never been so confident. “Since he did the transition in December, it’s like this weight has been lifted off him,” she said. “He’s the bravest person I know because he has the confidence to be himself – even though society might think he should be a different way.” Ms Bartlett said it became clear to her that Zac was transgender from a young age. “As soon as he could talk he said he was a boy, there was no question, he’s never wavered from that,” she said.

school, Horsham’s Ss Michael and John’s Primary School, was key in allowing him to feel accepted during his transition process. “I have to say our school has been absolutely amazing,” she said. “I can’t speak highly enough of the support they gave myself and Zac and the way they delivered the message to

the other students was just so amazing and non-judgemental. “I hear of other people having negative experiences, but I’ve had nothing but positivity in Horsham – this has been a wonderful place to raise Zac as he is.” Ms Bartlett said her family’s support and understanding for Zac’s decision

had helped him realise his ‘authentic self’. “We accepted him unconditionally – there were no doubts, he was always really confident in who he was,” she said. “There were times when Zac would cry himself to sleep and say ‘I can’t grow up to be a girl and grow up to have a woman’s body’. “I explained to him that he could transition, that there were options available to him – after that he was much more comfortable, reassured and felt he had control over his future.” Ms Bartlett said she hoped Zac’s story would encourage greater acceptance of people’s differences in the community. “The best thing a parent can do is listen when a child says who they are and support them to live as their authentic self,” she said. She welcomed more people to join Wimmera Pride Project. “We invite people to get involved with us – you don’t have to identify as LGBTIQ to attend our events, in fact, the majority of our attendees on pride nights are allies because we play good music and put on a good party,” she laughed.

GRATEFUL: Vixen Arrowsmith was fearful of returning to Horsham after ‘coming out’ but has been grateful for the positive experiences and level of acceptance of gender diversity. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Confident in identity

oving back to Horsham in 2019, Vixen Arrowsmith was initially scared about how the community would view ‘them’ after ‘coming out’.

Vixen, 19, identifies as transmasculine non-binary, which means ‘they’ were assigned female at birth, but identify with masculinity to a greater extent than femininity. ‘Non-binary’ is a spectrum of gender identities that are not exclusively masculine or feminine. Some non-binary people prefer to use gender-neutral pronouns, most commonly, singular use of ‘they’, ‘their’ and ‘them’. Growing up in Horsham, Vixen spent their younger years searching for a true identity. It was not until moving to Geelong in year-nine that Vixen would come out and open up to the world. On returning to Horsham last year, Vixen was surprised to see the rural city’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and questioning, LGBTIQ, community had grown since departing. Vixen said they could not see themselves living anywhere else, while the level of acceptance of gender diversity had significantly improved.

“It was a very hard and confusing journey – I would come out as gay, then I would come out as bi and then I discovered that sexuality and gender-identity were not the same”

– Vixen Arrowsmith

“I’ve been confident of my identity for many years now. I was less confident with how people would react in Horsham,” they said. “I’ve had more positive reactions here than anywhere else I’ve lived. “It’s definitely gotten better from when I was younger – there’s been a lot of amazing feedback not only from the LGBTIQ community in the region but also people who aren’t in that community.” But Vixen said the journey had not been without confrontation. “I’ve had a few slurs and discriminatory terms when I’ve been out at the pub with friends, which can be heartbreaking, but for me, I tend to be able to let it roll off my back,” they said. Vixen said in their early teens while in the Wimmera, they felt a need to conceal

Weekly Wool Market

a large part of their identity – their gender. Vixen said this led to feeling socially displaced throughout primary and early secondary schooling. “Growing up it was very confusing, I didn’t talk about it because it was such a foreign feeling,” they said. “In year five when we started talking about sex education I was very distraught because I had this image that I would go through more of a biological male’s puberty range – learning that was not my case, I got very upset. “I remember telling my friends and they looked at me so confused and like I was a foreign object.” Vixen said starting to find clarity and confidence as a 14-year-old had followed years of struggle. “It was a very hard and confusing journey – I would come out as gay, then I would come out as bi and then I discovered that sexuality and gender-identity were not the same,” they said. “I found those resources and connections when was 14 and educated myself and had the realisation that I’m trans and that’s when I came out.” Vixen said they hoped sharing their story would help anyone struggling through a similar journey.

After four weeks of successive losses the Australian wool market has settled this week, with most merino types recording increases. The national offering reduced to 23,371 bales, a reduction of 1,967 bales when compared to the previous week. When compared year on year, the national offering has fallen by 165,300 bales, this equates to a fall of 10.9%. Sales opened on Tuesday, with only Melbourne and Sydney in operation. From the opening lot, it was immediately apparent that buyer sentiment had improved. This resulted in price increases across all merino fleece types. The individual Micron Price Guides (MPGSs) rose by 14 to 47 cents. These rises helped push the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) up by 11 cents, the rise in the EMI would have been higher if not for the negative movements in the crossbred MPGs. On Wednesday it was only Melbourne and Fremantle in operation. The Melbourne market could not continue its upward path, the individual MPGs generally fell by 2 to 24 cents, with only the 18.0 and 18.5 micron MPGs recording further increases. The Fremantle region, which did not enjoy the gains of the previous day, opened strongly, pushing prices higher. Main buyer interest was in the finer microns, resulting in price increases in the 19.5 micron and finer MPGs of between 16 and 41 cents. A limited number of broader wools lost ground. The EMI fell by 2 cents on the second day, with only the Melbourne movements factored in. The EMI gained 9 cents for the series, closing the week at 1,179 cents. As mentioned earlier, the crossbreds did not attract the same interest as the merinos and recorded further losses. The MPGs for 26.0 to 30.0 micron dropped by 20 to 26 cents. Although the MPG for 32.0 micron only fell by 1 cent, this fall pushed it down to a new record low of 270 cents.

Staying connected A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Horsham youth group’s social bond has strengthened through COVID-19, sparking plans to reach out to more young people across the region.

Young G, which provides a social hub and equal opportunities for Wimmera young people, particularly migrant youth, is now looking to branch out beyond COVID-19. Group leader Eddie Nsanzimana said the group’s time in self-isolation had highlighted the significance of staying connected. He said the group was seeking to reach out to more migrant youth and young people in rural towns. “My dream is to see Young G grow,” he said. “I would like to get to Nhill because there’s a lot of migrant youth there – so it would be good to get them involved, alongside more young people in Horsham.” Mr Nsanzimana said the group had shown a great deal of leadership throughout the pandemic. “I’ve seen a lot of kids grow in their leadership skills and their confidence has gone through the roof, which is great to see,” he said. “We have really gotten to know each other throughout COVID-19 because we meet online, have a laugh and get time to share our stories with each other. It’s really brought the group close and built really strong bonds.” The group found creative ways to stay connected with the community and each other. Members sent out handwritten postcards to some of Horsham’s senior citizens on Anzac Day. “We realised a lot of people might be feeling lonely, especially older people who might not

have families in town or were already isolated before COVID-19,” Mr Nsanzimana said. “We just thought it was a great opportunity to promote this multicultural youth group into the Wimmera.” He said the group was looking for fundraising opportunities when restrictions were over. “We might start doing fundraising to try to raise funds for our trips,” he said. “At Centre for Participation we have our own little food van called social pantry – we might use some of the skills we’re learning through COVID-19 to run our own fundraiser shop.” Young G supports youth of diverse backgrounds and cultures living in the Wimmera. Mr Nsanzimana, 23, forged the way for Young G in 2014, creating a space where youth could feel safe and comfortable while being involved in the community. He said his personal experience of moving to Adelaide from Rwanda as a young migrant in 2006 drove him to lead the group. Mr Nsanzimana said he wanted young migrants in the region to have the same level of support he had when he moved to Horsham in year eight. “I wanted to give back and do something positive for other migrants, so they don’t have to struggle or experience racism like I did when I was in Adelaide,” he said. “But at Horsham College, I had a great experience – a really strong support system.” Mr Nsanzimana encouraged more young people to join the group. “If you want to get involved, meet people, have fun and go on camps, go to Centre for Participation and fill out an expression of interest – it’s free, there’s no cost in being part of Young G,” he said.

Rain welcome

ore rain during the next few months will be essential for ‘substantial’ increases in Wimmera reservoir volumes.

That is the assessment from regional water managers who, with communities across the region, have welcomed regular rain-bearing weather fronts to catchment areas during the past few weeks. GWMWater resources manager Kym Wilson was optimistic about rising water levels based on ‘good’ rain totals over the catchments. “However, we will need more rain before we see any substantial volumes flowing into our reservoirs,” he said. “In 2019 we saw upper Wimmera River run for the first time in many years and we are optimistic we will see this flow again, given the good start to the season.” Mr Wilson, who has previously spoken about the positive impact of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline in regional water management, again pointed to the value of the far-reaching system. “After 10 years of operation, the WimmeraMallee Pipeline has secured water supply for the region,” he said. “However, the nature of our reservoir system is such that it relies on wetter years to boost volumes in storage to see us through the drier times. “GWMWater will continue to monitor and assess the impact of climate change in our longterm planning.” Mr Wilson said all pipeline-supplied recreation lakes had received top-ups during the past year, along with Green Lake near Horsham. He said inflows during winter and spring would

determine what top-ups might be available moving forward. He added that ‘smaller’ recreation lakes and weir pools supplied through GWMWater’s pipeline networks would continue to receive supply. GWMWater has allowed for up to 3500 megalitres for all pipeline lakes supplied via the Grampians and the Murray River for 2020-21. Allowance for this supply regime varies annually. GWMWater is responsible for providing 15 percent of Victoria with piped supply. Grampians-supplied rural pipelines, including an East Grampians Rural Pipeline to be completed in 2022, will be responsible for watering 11 percent of the state. GWMWater also administers a Northern Mallee Pipeline, which accesses Murray River water. Mr Wilson said preliminary network design for the East Grampians Rural Pipeline would be available soon, following the appointment of Wangaratta-based contractor, Dunstans. On completion, the pipeline will provide a reticulated water supply to up to 1500 rural properties across an area of 330,000 hectares in Ararat, Great Western and Buangor districts, east to Eurambeen-Streatham Road and south to the Glenelg Highway. The Grampians system’s reservoirs were 34.29 percent full before GWMWater collected a new set of weekly readings today. The region’s primary supply reservoir, Lake Bellfield near Halls Gap, was at 68 percent and transfer reservoir Taylors Lake at 43 percent. The largest impoundment, Rocklands Reservoir, was at 28 percent.

Plan to optimise immunity Wimmera dietitians are encouraging people to add more colour into their daily meals in order to optimise immunity as the country approaches the colder months. As COVID-19 has increased the general public’s attention on health and wellbeing in recent months, Wimmera dietitians are using the opportunity to share their best health tips for supporting the immune system. Health experts believe an optimised immune system boils down to balanced management of diet, sleep, exercise, stress and exposure to sunlight. Herbalist Des Lardner said although some might struggle to get a balanced diet, adding more colours was the easiest way to incorporate more fruit and vegetables. “It’s tricky getting people to eat healthy. I think COVID-19 might be giving us more incentive than before,” he said. “The rainbow diet is easy to visualise, to get all colours of the rainbow. It looks more attractive, particularly for kids – children won’t typically go to a healthier diet by nature.” Mr Lardner said to find more colours, there were a number of vegetables people should always have at that their disposal. “Carrots, orange, cherry tomatoes or capsicums, red, spinach or zucchinis, green, mushrooms, white and red onions for purple,” he said. “You can use all of these in a taco, soup, stirfry – keep them in your fridge on a regular basis, Wednesday, May 20, 2020

that way you get all the colours of the rainbow.” Rural Northwest Health dietitian Ilana Jorgensen said less than one in 10 people were getting enough vegetables in their daily intake. “People often struggle to incorporate enough vegetables if they’re only including them in one meal of the day,” she said. “Having a cooked breakfast, you might include some mushrooms, tomato or spinach. For ‘wet dishes’ like stews or casseroles, you can add lots of vegetables and still have that base flavour.” Ms Jorgensen said 80 percent of the immune system was in the gut. She said sources of fibre, probiotics, vitamin A and omega-3 fats encouraged good gut bacteria. “Fibre is really important for our immune system because it helps with our gut health, like wholegrain cereals and grains,” she said. “Yoghurt is the most common source of probiotic. It is recommended we have two or three serves of fish a week. Tinned fish can be a great source in the Wimmera area, because fresh fish isn’t widely available. “And foods like carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato and eggs are great sources of vitamin A.” Ms Jorgensen said including legumes in meals was an easy way to gain additional nutrients. “You might include them in a breakfast, for example baked beans on toast – people might not be aware that legumes actually do count as vegetables,” she said. – Dylan De Jong

13/05

National Volunteer Week is the annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation’s volunteers. At this uncertain time we feel that it is more important than ever to recognise and acknowledge Australia’s volunteers. National Volunteer Week begins Monday May 18 and runs until Sunday 24 May. This years theme is ‘Changing Communities. Changing Lives’. ‘It’s a time when we tip our collective hats and say thank you for the tireless, wonderful work of volunteers in our communities,’ said Julie Pettet, CEO at the Centre for Participation. As a mark of thanks, the Centre for Participation and the Volunteer Coordinators Network have published a series of postcards. WRSA Female Administrators Network, Edenhope Memorial Hospital, Horsham Rural City Council, Wimmera Southern Mallee LLEN, Rural Northwest Health, West Wimmera Shire Council, Emma Kealy’s Ofﬁce and Grampians Community Health have joined us to send postcards to volunteers across our communities.

Join the celebration on Zoom... We invite volunteers from across the Wimmera to come together at 10am on Friday 22 May for an online morning tea to celebrate volunteers. If you would like to join in, call 5382 5607 or email info@centreforparticipation to get a Zoom link and password.

Uncertainty looms for events O

BY DYLAN DE JONG

rganisers of staple festivals in the region face uncertainty in planning large-scale events in the future.

Last week Victoria joined other states in easing back on some government enforced COVID-19 restrictions. However, Australia’s Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy has ruled out music festivals and nightclubs as unlikely to reopen until there is a coronavirus vaccine. Some larger-scale festivals in the Wimmera and Mallee, including Grampians Music Festival, Moyston Pitch Music and Arts Festival and Donald’s Esoteric Festival, were fortunate to scrape through with their 2020 events before the lockdown crunch in March. However, many key events such as Horsham Country Music Festival, Warracknabeal’s Y-Fest, Grampians Grape Escape and the Stawell Gift were forcibly cancelled. Tourism leaders stress these events were injecting millions of dollars into regional economies each year and were key for developing profiles for Wimmera locations such as Halls Gap. Forging ahead, many organisers, now at a financial lost, are also without any guarantee larger-scale events can go ahead early next year. For this reason, Grampians Music Festival director Carly Flecknoe decided to push her festival, which attracts more than 1000 people each year, back to 2022. She said it posed too many complications to organise a festival in February next year under the current circumstances. “We’d really be pulling a rabbit out of

a hat, and that’s a really risky position to be in for a music festival,” she said. “If at the end of February music festivals could run it would be highly likely we wouldn’t find out the information until November or December. “It is borderline impossible to pull off a music festival in that amount of time and it’s definitely impossible to market a music festival in that amount of time.” Ms Flecknoe said there could be an opening for event organisers to run smaller gigs in 2021. “Smaller performances might be available, and we could possibly do things for a local audience and local demographic,” she said. “Picking a venue where we might run gigs monthly to attract musicians out of places like Warrnambool and Ballarat to support regional music in a much smaller environment could be an option.” Ms Flecknoe said people should still support artists, who had lost all touring opportunities due to COVID-19. “The way to do that is ensure you are using a streaming service that pays artists fairly, or purchase an album,” she said. “But, the best way to support bands is to buy their merchandise, a large percentage of that goes directly into their pockets and that means the band becomes more financially viable to continue touring in the future.” Tourism leaders are developing a ‘recovery plan’ in response to COVID-19 and the summer bushfires. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said it was wise for organisers to hold off on any major event planning until there was clear

WHERE TO NOW: Grampians Music Festival director Carly Flecknoe is playing it safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic, deciding to schedule her next festival in 2022. She said smaller-scale gigs might be on the cards in Halls Gap for 2021. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER directive from both state and federal governments. “The event landscape will be very different post COVID-19,” he said. “The only clear thing at the moment is that we don’t know, and the only constant is the unknown. “We are in new territory here. We are not able to make any decisive decisions at the moment.” Mr Sleeman said it would be a long road to recovery for the tourism industry.

“This is not going to be a sprint, the recovery will be a marathon and we need to make sure we are in a strong position to get through these next two years,” he said. “Events are a great way to profile our region, they remain a key priority for our organisation in the future. “We are forming up some strategic reactivation plans at the moment with our four local government partners and recovery task force to ensure that we have got a really strong recovery plan.”

A new approach means Ararat Regional Library is still loaning books to people despite COVID-19 restrictions. The library’s ‘Drop and Swap’ program involves people phoning or messaging staff to lodge requests, with staff dropping off and swapping books, magazines and other material to homes in Ararat. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said library staff wanted to ensure residents still had access to books, DVDs, periodicals, magazines, e-books, audio books and children’s stories through the library. Dr Harrison said all material underwent sanitisation before and after loans, with staff members ensuring they maintained physical distancing and strict hygiene practices when dropping off items. “Under Swap and Drop, residents can call, email or Facebook message their requests to library staff, who are delivering twice a week,” he said. “We are restricted to local stock only because we cannot access other library stocks, but there is still a lot of material to choose from. The library also has a streaming service called Kanopy through which library users can access 10 free videos a month, which is another great option.” Dr Harrison said residents from areas outside Ararat could pick up items from the library with prior arrangement. To order items, people can call 5352 1722 or email amckinnis@ ararat.vic.gov.au.

Annual planting missing ‘friends’

BACKGROUND: Lifetime Wimmera newspaperman and editor Maurice Lawson, left, discusses the history of Sawyer Park in Horsham with Greer and Kevin Dellar and the role the area might play in proposed riverfront development. Sawyer Park was historically home to deep and expansive clay pits, initially used for Sawyer bricks and then for many years as Horsham tips for domestic and industrial waste. Testing in the early 1980s confirmed the position of the former pits and forced Horsham Soundshell development further west of an original position. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

“The idea is to enhance what is already there, reduce a salt footprint and bring back an area for the environment and agriculture, improve wildlife habitat and the The ACE Radio Hindmarsh Plantout, in its quality of water going into the river” 22nd year, will for the first time use contracn annual tree-planting event that has helped transform a north-west Wimmera landscape will go ahead in early July – but without a traditional visiting volunteer workforce.

tors to plant thousands of trees and shrubs at four targeted sites in Hindmarsh Shire. The plantout is a key part of Hindmarsh Landcare Network’s extensive Project Hindmarsh, which has and continues to revegetate and rehabilitate vast tracts of rural land. Project spokesman and long-time regional advocate Darryl Argall said the absence of the many volunteers who traditionally travelled to be part of the weekend was disappointing but necessary under COVID-19 restrictions. “It’s the first time since we started that we haven’t been able to welcome people for what has become a great city-meets-country gathering,” he said. “But we’re pushing ahead with the plantout as part of a broader arrangement with Parks Victoria and Wimmera Catchment Management Authority and hope to return to our usual format next year.” Mr Argall said the use of planting contractors meant instead of everything happening on one weekend, plants would go into the ground in a staggered process. “Contractors will plant 12,500 seedlings over four sites and Hindmarsh Landcare members will follow up with a watering program,” he said. Plantout sites are at Jeparit, Tarranyurk, Antwerp and Dimboola based on a major Wimmera River riparian lower-catchment target area.

– Darryl Argall

Mr Argall said the many parts of the target areas featured remnant vegetation but had been stripped of understorey plants. He said a large planting area at Jeparit was on a property featuring light sandy soil, a sand dune with saline areas. “The idea is to enhance what is already there, reduce a salt footprint and bring back an area for the environment and agriculture, improve wildlife habitat and the quality of water going into the river,” he said. This year’s target plantout area is part of a three-year project between Hindmarsh Landcare Network, Parks Victoria and Wimmera Catchment Management Authority. The project also includes managing pest plants and animals. Project Hindmarsh has led to major environmental transformation and established biolinks across the shire. Some of the impact of the on-ground works and revegetation is clearly visible in before-and-after satellite images from space. ACE Radio, including The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM, has been a powerful financial supporter for Project Hindmarsh since its inception, providing hundreds of thousands of dollars for the program.

State money for riverfront project Horsham’s Riverfront Activation development project has had a $500,000 State Government boost. The state commitment means all three tiers of government will contribute to the project – the first sub-precinct of a City to River Masterplan. Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack visited Horsham last year to announce a $1.65-million contribution from the Federal Government and Horsham Rural City Council will invest $850,000 from its own budget. Horsham council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the State Government funding had brought the total project budget to $3-million.

He said the money would go towards ‘activating’ Wimmera River frontage, designed to make the area more inviting and improving its links with Horsham’s central activity district. “The priority focus along the riverfront includes the area between the rowing clubrooms in the west to the east side of the Wimmera Bridge,” Mr Bhalla said. “Concepts for this space will be drawn from public input provided through the initial engagement in 2019, as well as consultation with groups in and adjacent to the space.” Mr Bhalla said a Community Reference Group, CRG, would help turn ideas into detailed plans that would go out for

public comment later this year. “The CRG will ensure concepts and costs are ‘road tested’ with stakeholders and the public, and that final design reflects a development that our community will be satisfied with and excited to see,” he said. “Many ideas were put forward through the first phase of engagement for the City to River Masterplan on how to enhance and improve the riverfront. “There is now an opportunity available through federal and state government funding to develop this valuable public space so that it can work.” Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes announced funding for the project alongside 34 other Victorian ventures.

Ambulance: ‘Don’t be stoic’ A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera paramedical leader is concerned people might be afraid to call a triple zero emergency line after a significant drop in demand for ambulance call-outs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ambulance Victoria Grampians regional director Tim Maywald commended communities across the region for doing the ‘right thing’ through COVID-19 restrictions, in seeking help from their GP or pharmacist rather than calling triple zero. However, Mr Waywald said despite the reprieve, it was vital people continued to call an ambulance in an emergency. “We’ve seen about a 30 percent decrease in call-outs in recent weeks and are concerned that members of the community might be frightened to call an ambulance for fear of COVID-19, or just don’t want to be a burden on us during a pandemic,” he said. “We are concerned people, particularly the elderly and those with pre-existing heart or respiratory conditions, who might need us, aren’t calling triple zero.” Mr Maywald said Ambulance Victoria had been preparing for COVID-19 since mid-January and had enough ambulances and paramedics to meet demand. “Remember that our paramedics have the right equipment to keep themselves and their patients safe from all types of infection, including COVID-19, as do our hospitals,” he said. “Our ambulances and emergency departments are safe places to be. “The bottom line is, people with serious conditions need to call triple zero.

REMINDER: Ambulance Victoria Grampians regional director Tim Maywald is reminding the community to continue to call triple zero in an emergency. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “Ambulance Victoria has always and will always be there for people in their time of need. “There’s a time to be stoic, and it’s not during a health emergency – that’s a time to call triple zero.” Mr Maywald encouraged people to check in on elderly relatives, neighbours or friends via phone. “If people have health concerns, such as an onset of shortness of breath, chest pains, facial drooping or weakness, for example, they must dial triple zero,” he said. “Every second counts when it comes

to respiratory or cardiac conditions, or stroke. “If a patient does not need a lightsand-sirens ambulance response, we will find the right care for that patient at that time.” Mr Maywald praised the community for its role in flattening the curve, which has provided the health system with the time and capacity to effectively manage COVID-19 in Victoria. “It’s promising to see the number of COVID-19 cases in Victoria decrease, but we still need everyone who can stay home to stay home,” he said.

“If you have to go out, be vigilant about social distancing. “Wash your hands thoroughly and often, and don’t touch your face because the primary path of infection is through your mouth, nose and eyes. “For the same reason, and for the safety of others, sneeze or cough into your elbow.” Ambulance Victoria is reminding Victorians to continue following the Department of Health and Human Services advice to practise good hygiene and maintain physical distancing.

Insight into businesses Northern Grampians Shire Council is seeking input from businesses in the shire to assess the severity the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the regional economy. The council, in acknowledging variations of impact the virus was having across industry sectors and regions, has invited business leaders to fill out a survey. The survey is designed to provide region-specific insight for the council to understand the support businesses require now and when Victoria transitions to an economic-recovery position. Mayor Murray Emerson said while many people were dealing with day-to-day pressures caused by the pandemic, it was important to remember the crisis would pass and planning for the future was essential. “The insights provided by the survey will help us plan for the most effective recovery response possible to ensure business and community can get back on its feet as quickly as possible with longterm solutions,” he said. “To support rapid recovery and demonstrate the impact for your business and your region, a strong quantifiable evidence base is critical.” The survey is run by REMPLAN, an economic and social research consultancy that works with local governments to collect and understand economic data. Businesses can take part in the online survey at website www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/Council-Services/ Business.

Flags a symbolic gesture A

rarat Rural City and Northern Grampians Shire councils showed their support for the LGBTIQ community with simultaneous flag-raising ceremonies for International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex and Transphobia.

Also known by its acronym IDAHOBIT, the day started globally in 2004 to celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersectional and questioning – LGBTIQ – people. Joint ceremonies occurred in Ararat, Stawell and St Arnaud on Friday. IDAHOBIT Day was on Sunday. Ararat council chief executive Tim Harrison said while the two councils had to limit attendees at flag-raising ceremonies due to coronavirus restrictions, the occasion was an important symbolic gesture to the LGBTIQ community. He said the rainbow flag, representative of the ‘Pride’ movement started flying from Ararat council offices from 10am, Friday after a ceremony involving a small group of council officers and mayor Jo Armstrong practising social distancing. “IDAHOBIT Day is a time to stand with the LGBTIQ community and make the world a better place for everyone,” Dr Harrison said. “The council wants the LGBTIQ community to know the council supports them wholeheartedly and believes everyone is equal.” Rainbow flags started flying from Northern Grampians flagpoles at Pleasant Creek Historical Precinct

UNITED IN SUPPORT: Grampians Pyrenees Primary Care Partnership convenor Jo Richie, left, Ararat councillor Peter Beales and Ararat Rural City Council early years and positive ageing co-ordinator Erin Mackley joined Ararat’s flag-raising ceremony for International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex and Transphobia. Simultaneous ceremonies were in Ararat, Stawell and St Arnaud on Friday. in Stawell and St Arnaud hospital to mark the occasion. Northern Grampians council chief executive Liana Thompson said Northern Grampians was a welcoming community that supported all LGBTIQ+ residents and visitors. “IDAHOBIT Day is a chance for our two councils to proudly show our support for the members of our communities who have historically

been marginalised,” she said. “We are all for equality and feel this show of support is necessary to let everyone know our organisation and our community will not stand for discrimination or oppression in any way.” Other community groups, such as Grampians Pyrenees Primary Care Partnership and East Wimmera Health Service, also marked

the occasion with flag-raising ceremonies. Wimmera advocacy groups also organised online celebrations for the occasion, which this year had the theme Breaking the Silence. Wimmera Pride Project hosted a Netflix watch party and Stawell Regional Health painted the footpath entry to Stawell hospital in rainbow colours.

Money for jobs in Hindmarsh Hindmarsh Shire Council has received State Government funding to provide 13 full-time employment positions throughout the shire. The 13 six-month fixed-term positions are across a variety of council functions including cleaning, town maintenance, outreach support and human-resources administration. The funding is through the government’s $500-million Working for Victoria program. Hindmarsh mayor Rob Gersch said the positions would be available to residents throughout the shire, with eight town maintenance positions available in Dimboola, Jeparit, Nhill and Rainbow. “This is a fantastic opportunity for community members who might have been stood down from their positions due to the COVID-19 pandemic to join the council, and undertake important work in our community,” he said. He encouraged people to apply for the positions by visiting the Working for Victoria website and registering on a Sidekicker platform – a subsidiary of SEEK. To be eligible to apply people must be legally able to work in Victoria, and are either unemployed or have recently experienced a significant reduction in income. “I would encourage residents to visit website www.vic.gov.au/workingforvictoria to find out further information on the program and how to apply,” Cr Gersch said.

Staley push for manufacturing M

ember for Ripon Louise Staley is part of a Victorian Opposition spearhead pushing strongly to rebuild a manufacturing industry in Victoria.

Ms Staley joined a Liberal Party chorus in proposing a $1-billion Bringing Manufacturing Home Fund to encourage business growth and build facilities and generate jobs. Ms Staley’s electorate includes Ararat and Stawell, which have been western Victorian bastions for regional manufacturing and production. Major production firms based in the electorate include farm machinery, industrial and wood-heater producer Gason, electrical-wiring specialist AME Systems and Stawell Gold Mine. The electorate has also established a strong renewable-energy sector, prompting Ararat and Northern Grampians Shire councils into exploring and developing value-adding manufacturing projects. Ms Staley, Opposition Treasurer, said Victoria had lost more than 50,000 manufacturing jobs in the past 20 years. She said there was an urgent need for response to the impact of COVID-19 to create jobs and boost the economy. “With COVID-19 restrictions easing, now is the time for the Andrews government to act urgently to get Victorians back to work and back in business,” she said. “Victoria has a real opportunity to create thousands of new jobs, attract millions of dollars in investment while regenerating our capability to produce critical supplies that we’ve otherwise lost

to overseas – and communities in Ripon would benefit from this. “Rebuilding local economies is a vital piece of Victoria’s recovery, and a boost to manufacturing in a region like ours could be a real boost for local jobs. “Victorians now need a government focused on delivering a jobs-led and business-led recovery.” Ms Staley said the pandemic had exposed holes in a national supply chain with an over reliance on too few countries to provide essential supplies such as personal protective equipment, PPE. She said the Bringing Manufacturing Home Fund would prioritise support for industries of national importance such as PPE manufacture, defence procurement and rare-earths processing. She added the proposed fund would provide support for businesses seeking to relocate manufacturing facilities and jobs back to Victoria. “It would also support existing Victorian manufacturers to expand, as well as supporting innovation, research and development,” she said. “With Victoria losing more jobs than any other state due to the pandemic, we need an urgent and bold plan to turn this around. We need to back local businesses to deliver the jobs and investment that Victoria so desperately needs.” Ms Staley said the Bringing Manufacturing Home Fund added to a variety of Liberal Party policies designed to ‘get Victoria back to work and back in business’ after the economic fallout of COVID-19.

UNDERWAY: Greening Australia’s Jess Gardner, left, and WAMA company secretary, Jallukar project officer and deputy chair Ange Turrell prepare to sow seeds on the WAMA site at Pomonal.

Planting starts on WAMA site Seeds from more than 55 species of native grasses and wildflowers have been sown on a 1.6-hectare native grassland on the Wildlife Art Museum of Australia site at Pomonal. The WAMA Foundation has partnered with Jallukar Landcare Group and Greening Australia to deliver the project, part of a naturebased learning and wildlife art precinct. WAMA company secretary, Jallukar project officer and deputy chair Ange Turrell said many of the seeds and wildflowers sown had been collected and propagated by Landcare members within the Grampians in the past three years. “This project is the first of many to come as part of the Jallukar Landcare Group’s Native Grasslands Revegetation Project to restore and revegetate the grasslands within the region to a more natural landscape, that contributes to the conservation of the Grampi-

ans’ unique biodiversity,” she said. “There is as little as one percent of native grasslands left in Victoria, meaning that grasslands are one of our most endangered ecosystems within the state.” Group leaders chose the WAMA site, on Ararat-Halls Gap Road, for the initial project due to its open space and accessibility. Ms Turrell said a vermin-proof fence had been installed around the 16-hectare site. She said the project was driven by a strong volunteer workforce and partnership between Jallukar Landcare Group, The Australian Plant Society – Grampians, and Greening Australia, who have provided expertise and guidance throughout the project. The revegetation has been funded through Wimmera Catchment Management Authority’s Landcare Grants Program. Greening Australia senior ecologist Jess Gardner helped start the

Horsham-made Electric Lift and Recline Chairs

native-seed revegetation process at the WAMA site. “To enable grassland restoration works in this region the initial focus has been around addressing seed supply and community capacity to undertake works,” she said. Plant identification, seed collection and propagation workshops have enabled participants to collect seed from their own properties to contribute to the project. Ms Turrell said to ensure the quality of seed used, a significant amount was sourced from a community-run seed production nursery in Pomonal, with in-ground production areas also established and harvested on private land. “This project is an example of local people and groups coming together to collaborate, share expertise and support one another to achieve a common goal,” she said. The project forms part of a $6-million master plan for the site.

DRAWING STRENGTH AND INSPIRATION: Northern Grampians Shire Council’s positive ageing team is collecting memories of strength and resilience. Team members including, from left, Jaqui Scott, Meg Driscoll and Ty Taylor are co-ordinating the project. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Collating stories of resilience

roject leaders uncovering stories of resilience from decades past in Northern Grampians Shire are looking for community input.

Northern Grampians Shire Council’s positive ageing team is collating stories about how past generations survived and thrived during difficult times. The project is designed to help the community draw strength and inspiration from the courageous acts of the past during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is by telling these stories and putting them into words, it will preserve the living history of the

region for reflection by future generations. Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson said the project would be of great benefit to contributors and others who accessed the finished booklet. “By collecting and sharing these important memories and stories, we are ensuring the history of our region and our people are not forgotten,” he said. “Things have been difficult for everyone the past few months but they have been difficult before and these stories will help show we can make it through anything as a community.” Cr Emerson said stories could focus on any time in a person’s life where

they overcame hard times during extraordinary circumstances, such as wartime, widespread illnesses, natural disasters, economic disasters or any other event or phenomenon that impacted their life and the community. He said people keen to submit their story of resilience for the project could do so via electronic copy or by pen and paper. “We ask that stories are limited to 1000 words for the sake of compiling them into a manageable format,” he said. People must submit contributions by July 31, 2020. Cr Emerson said people could email

stories to hacc@ngshire.vic.gov.au and phone the council’s positive ageing team on 5358 0514 for further information. “They can also drop off written stories to Stawell and St Arnaud shire offices via a letter-drop box at front doors, or post them to Positive Ageing, Northern Grampians Shire Council, PO Box 580, Stawell, VIC, 3380,” he said. “The team is also keen to have a copy of any photographs or memorabilia associated with the story submissions. People can withdraw their submission at any point if they no longer wish to share their story.”

‘Pure. Toyota. Sports.’ GR Corolla all but confirmed by Toyota USA

oyota USA has sent the motoring world into a frenzy after all but confirming a hi-po GR version of its Corolla hatchback was in the works, destined to go toeto-toe with established hot-hatch heavyweights like the Hyundai i30 N or even the Volkswagen Golf R. The announcement was made on a dedicated webpage under the ‘upcoming vehicles’ tab of the Toyota USA website, headlined by the words ‘Pure. Toyota. Sports.’. On the page, a small passage explains how the upcoming GR Yaris stole the show at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon and how its omission from the American market had caused an

outcry from disappointed fans. The passage goes on to mention the key stats and details of the ballistic Yaris before reading: “While GR Yaris isn’t coming to the US, perhaps it’s time the US got a Toyota hot hatch to call its own, one that continues to push the boundaries of performance. And one that can only come from Toyota Gazoo Racing. Are you with us?” Toyota only sells one other hatchback in the US – and Australia – other than the Yaris, which by power of deduction all but confirms that a GR Corolla is in the pipeline. The revelation lays to rest rumours that have been swirling for months that a hot Corolla was coming after Toyota Australia submitted a patent filing with IP Australia for the GR Co-

rolla nameplate back in March. When asked about the possibility of the GR Corolla making it to Aussie soil, a Toyota Australia spokesperson said the brand had ‘always shown interest in offering a high-performance Corolla locally’ and recognised that hot hatches are loved Down Under. “Nothing has been officially confirmed on a GR Corolla, however, if one were to become available from our global line up, we would most definitely be very keen to bring it here,” they said. While the hi-po hatchback has not yet been officially ‘announced’, rumours and theories are already being spun as to the GR Corolla’s powertrain and key figures with the most common and likely consensus being

that it will score the same force-fed 1.6-litre three-cylinder petrol engine as the 200kW-370Nm Yaris. Power – whatever the final figure ends up being – is also tipped to be fed to the ground by the same all-wheeldrive system and six-speed-manual transmission, potentially elevating the Japanese newcomer above the frontwheel-drive Golf GTI and into the firing line of the all-wheel-drive Golf R. This theory of the GR Corolla sharing the vast majority of its DNA with the smaller Yaris is backed up by the images accompanying the mentioned passage on the Toyota US website as they show different components as well as the underpinnings and powerplant of the Yaris. The first is of the GR Yaris’ in-

terior, specifically its decently bolstered seats and gear lever, the second shows the three alloy pedals below the GR-branded steering wheel, the third shows its drivetrain and suspension setup while the fourth image is a close-up of its GR-badged brakes. On the topic of the GR Yaris and its highly anticipated arrival in Australia, the Toyota spokesperson said that interest thus far had been strong and confirmed that a fourth quarter launch was still on the cards for the ballistic compact hatch. They also confirmed the GR Yaris would not be volume limited like the Supra and that the brand was ‘hoping to be able sell one to everyone that wants one’. – Callum Hunter

Safety, comfort, versatility key

ercedes-Benz Vans Australia has launched the newest version of its Sprinter Transfer minibus, priced from $72,479 before on-road costs for the entrylevel 414 CDI and $87,926 for the more powerful 416 CDI.

Safety, comfort and versatility are all said to have been improved on the new 12-seat model. Standard equipment on the base 414 CDI includes keyless start, revised roof mounted air-conditioning system, reclining passenger backrests as well as folding armrests, USB charging points and smartphone storage compartments. Just like Mercedes’ passenger cars, the new Sprinter Transfer also scores the latest version of the premium brand’s MBUX multimedia system, which is accessed via a 7.0-inch touchscreen display on the dashboard, with a bigger 10.25-inch unit available as an optional extra. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring are standard across the board while satellite navigation comes as standard with the bigger display. In terms of safety, active brake assist, blind spot assist, reversing camera, lane keeping assist, attention assist, cross wind assist along with front and side airbags for the driver

NEW DEAL: Priced from $72,479, Mercedes-Benz Vans’ new Sprinter Transfer adds comfort and safety.

and front seat passenger are fitted as standard. Radar-based adaptive cruise control, active lane keeping assist and Mercedes’ parking package with surround-view camera are also available, but only as optional extras. Compared with the 414, the 416 CDI adds a few extra visual and convenience niceties including a chrome grill, alloy wheels, fogs lamps, automatic

‘high-performance’ headlamps, partial LED tail-lights, comfort overhead control panel, electric rear sliding door and rain sensing wipers. Both versions use a 2.1-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, which in the 414 produces 105kW and 330Nm while in the 416 it churns out a meatier 120kW and 350Nm. A seven-speed automatic transmis-

sion is the only one available with drive being sent to the rear wheels only. As with every Sprinter, service intervals on the Transfer are pegged at an impressive 40,000km or every two years and come with a five year250,000km warranty. So far this year ending April, Mercedes-Benz Vans Australia has sold 50

Sprinter Buses, two more than it managed over the same period last year. The 50 sales were enough to see it claim second place on the sales chart with a 6.7 percent share of the light bus segment, which is being dominated by the Toyota HiAce Bus which occupies a mighty 90 percent of the segment. – Callum Hunter

Hands up for Hyundai i20 N

yundai has finally confirmed the existence and ongoing development of its long-teased i20 N compact performance car, a car Hyundai Motor Company Australia has already put its hand up for.

Officially confirmed by a pair of winter testing videos uploaded to the Hyundai N Worldwide YouTube channel last week, specific details of the i20 N are few and far between given the prototype shown in the videos is masked by front and rear camouflage. Only the flanks of the car are exposed in the footage, and even then, there is camouflage from behind the rear doors. The only real hints we get as to the i20 N’s aggro disposition are the aggressive N Performance alloy wheels and dual exhaust tips peeking out from behind the rear camouflage. Everything else on display – the side doors – looks to be fairly standard i20. That said, a few other hints can be drawn from an earlier teaser video GoAuto reported on in March, which points to the i20 N also featuring more aggressive side skirts, in this case finished in red. Given the meaty, aggro styling of its bigger i30 N sibling it would be more than safe to assume the i20 N would brandish more aggressive styling than the recently updated standard car.

WINTER TESTING: A pair of winter testing videos uploaded to the Hyundai N Worldwide YouTube channel confirms the ongoing development of the i20 N.

No details at all have been revealed as to the new baby N’s powertrain, although the general consensus is that it will score the 150kW-265Nm forcefed 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine out of the i30 N-Line. If this proves to be the case, then the i20 N will wade directly into the compact hot hatch market and stand toe-to-toe with the 147kW-290Nm Ford Fiesta ST, 147kW-320Nm Volkswagen Polo GTI and 147kW-260Nm Renault Clio RS.

The other – admittedly less likely – possibility is that Hyundai will squeeze the full fat 2.0-litre turbo four from the potent i30 N under the bonnet and aim the new car further upmarket at the looming and all-conquering Toyota GR Yaris. This however, could cause a few problems for Hyundai, as the baby N would be stepping on the toes of its bigger sibling in both price and performance. Transmission duties could go either

way between manual or automatic, with the i30 N only available in Australia with a six-speed manual – for the time being – while the warm-hatch i30 N-Line can only be had with a seven-speed dual clutch automatic. For reference, the Fiesta ST is shipped exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, while the Polo GTI and Clio RS are dual-clutch-only affairs. In terms of an Australian introduction, HMCA corporate communica-

tions and partnerships general manager Bill Thomas could not confirm if the i20 N would make it Down Under, but said there was a strong case for it. “We are keen on all N products, we’ve made that clear in the past,” he said. “This one is accessible to us because, unlike Veloster N for example, it will be built in right-hand drive. “That makes it more likely for introduction to the Australian market, but we can’t confirm it.” When Hyundai Austria first sent the rumour into overdrive back in March with a cheeky three-second glimpse of a more aggressive i20, HMCA senior manager for PR, sponsorship and events, Guido Schenken, said an i20 N would make ‘logical sense’ given Hyundai’s WRC campaign and HMCA’s quest to build ‘an N performance family’. Price-wise, i20 N could expect to arrive carrying a pricetag around the $30,000 mark, given its three most logical rivals retail for $31,990, Fiesta ST; $32,490, Polo GTI; and $30,990, Clio RS Sport; before on-road costs, which would align nicely with the way the i30 N undercuts its rivals by a few thousand dollars. – Callum Hunter

‘Celebrating life in the open air’

ust four months after it was revealed, Lamborghini has taken a tin-opener to its rabid Huracan Evo RWD to create the Huracan Evo RWD Spyder, a car the Raging Bull says is about ‘celebrating life in the open air’.

Powered by the same naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 petrol engine as the ‘regular’ Evo RWD, the new Spyder features every single one of the hardtop’s 449kW and 560Nm but carries a 120kg weight handicap on account of the folding roof mechanism and extra body stiffening. When all is said and done, the new drop-top will sprint from 0-100kmh in 3.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 324kmh. To set it apart from the rest of

the convertible Huracan stable and in particular the regular Evo Spyder, the Evo RWD Spyder brandishes its own unique and aerodynamically optimised styling cues including a new front splitter, bigger front air intakes with vertical fins and a new rear diffuser. The soft-top roof is able to be stowed or raised at speeds of up to 50kmh, with the stowing procedure taking just 17 seconds. Lamborghini chairman and chief executive officer Stefano Domenicali said the new car ‘doubles the driving fun’ and delivers ‘a raw driving pleasure with the opportunity to celebrate life outside’. “The driver is perfectly in touch with Lamborghini’s engineering heritage, experiencing the feedback and

engagement from the set-up of a rearwheel-drive car where electronic intrusion is minimised, while enjoying the sense of freedom and spirit of life that only open-top driving provides,” he said. Under the skin, the Spyder features all of the same goodies and gadgets as the hardtop, including the specifically recalibrated traction control system. Other changes exclusive to the Huracan Evo RWDs include retuned electro-mechanical steering and speciallydeveloped Pirelli P Zero tyres. Global deliveries of the Huracan Evo RWD Spyder are slated to start as of winter this year with local pricing, specification and availabilities yet to be announced. – Callum Hunter

Notification of Proposed nbn™ Radio Network Base Station Facility The National Broadband Network (nbn) is a high speed broadband network designed to reach 100 per cent of Australian premises and provide the communications infrastructure to help us stop falling behind in an increasingly online world. nbn is committed to delivering leading edge broadband services to all Australians by leveraging the three types of technology available – fixed line, fixed wireless and satellite, depending on location. As part of the fixed radio (wireless) component of the Network, nbn is proposing to expand the existing radio network base stations at the following locations; • Bell Street Beulah Vic 3395 (1/681797) (RFNSA Site No. 3395006) • 85 Henty Highway Warracknabeal Vic 3393 (Volume 10335 Folio 918) (RFNSA Site No: 3393001) The works are to provide high quality wireless broadband services to customers in the surrounding localities. The proposed works on site will involve the upgrade of existing technology upon the facility including and not limited to the replacement and installation of new antennas, radiocommunication dishes and associated ancillary equipment to enhance transmitting technology. Furthermore the works will involve the replacement and addition of equipment shelters/outdoor units adjacent to the facility.

VOLUNTEER WEEK 2020 Hindmarsh Shire Mayor, Councillors, Chief Executive Officer and staff acknowledge and thank all volunteers across the shire who have in many ways contributed to improving the lives of those in need, served their local community or provided their expertise and skills in any capacity on a voluntary basis. Whilst we are unable to hold any ceremonies or functions as a way of showing our gratitude we extend our thanks and appreciation to you all. Greg Wood Chief Executive Officer

nbn regards the proposed installations as a Low Impact Facility under the Telecommunications (Low-Impact Facilities) Determination 2018, and ‘Permit Exempt’ under A Code of Practice for Telecommunications Facilities in Victoria 2004. In these circumstances, it does not require planning approval from Council. This notification is undertaken in accordance with the requirements of Section 7 of the Mobile Phone Base Station Deployment Code 2018. Further information on this specific proposal can be obtained by calling Visionstream on 1300 745 210 Written submissions can be sent to: nbn Planning Team, Locked Bag 4001, Moorabbin VIC 3189 or via email to nbnwirelessvic@visionstream.com.au. The closing date for submissions is 3rd June 2020. For general info on the nbn, email info@nbn.com.au, or visit our website at www.nbnco.com.au

Christian Devotions

How can I know God really cares about me?

Situations Vacant

We can know God cares about us when we commit our lives to Him. 1. Committing our lives to Him, allows a friendship to develop, as with a very close friend. 2. As we grow to know our Savior, He reveals His love to us. 3. Through prayer and meditation in His word-the Bible, He becomes so alive to us. 4. As God walks and talks by our side, we long to fellowship with Him. 5. By getting to know Him, He is able to melt our hearts with His powerful love, showing us Love, Joy and Peace. We can then merge together, and even understand Him more. Trust Him, he says: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). 6. Many crave a love and friendship like that. What an opportunity to have God dwell in our hearts, who will abide with us, just as we abide in Him. 7. His word says: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6). Would you like to get to know this God of Love who is able to direct your path and show his unfailing Love? He is only a prayer away, awaiting your call… Pastor Peter Rollo, Seventh-day Adventist Church, Stawell, Horsham, Nhill

Motivation on rise “When you’re a country kid, you potentially don’t have opportunities to try a lot of sport – but if you stick at it and you find something you love, you will be successful, and be the best that you can be,” she said. “You never know where that might take you, rowing has taken me all over the world.” HTLC’s head of health and physical education Cameron Pickering said he hoped attracting elite athletes would demonstrate that rural students could go on to achieve great feats. “Kids don’t have to leave the community to make it,” he said. “We’re pretty huge on using local role models, people who have come from the very same streets our students have walked on.” Mr Pickering said he wanted students to stay motivated throughout COVID-19. “We’re just trying to think outside of the box to keep the kids motivated, trying to counteract the increased sedentary lifestyle through COVID-19,” he said. “Football, netball and hockey – that’s what we’re missing the most. Not having school sports has a big effect on these students. We were thinking really creatively in the way that we can still get great educational outcomes.”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera school has sought insight from influential sports stars to combat a sedentary lifestyle after noticing morale was low among students due to COVID-19.

Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College sourced three elite athletes who have roots in the Wimmera to share their sporting journies with students. Horsham AFL powerhouse Darcy Tucker, Nhill rowing world champion Lucy Stephan and Horsham export heptathlete Anna Bush joined HTLC students in a virtual forum on Friday last week. This came after a student survey concluded sports participation was down 15.2 percent across the school body. Stephan, who had been self-isolating in Nagambie since the start of lockdowns, agreed it had been challenging to stay motivated through COVID-19. The nationally renowned Olympian is continuing to prepare for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, now postponed to 2021. Stephan said having incremental goals helped her to achieve big. “If you set little goals, you’re able to achieve them,” she said. “For me, I’m trying to get a bit stronger in the gym or getting

Lucy Stephan my erg a little bit better. It’s little things like that, that you can get the same satisfaction of achieving that you would get from wining a footy game or wining a race.” Stephan grew up in the Wimmera, taking part in team sports including netball and basketball. She discovered the sport of rowing later in life after moving to Ballarat Grammar in year nine and now competes in mainly coxless four events around the globe. She said she still retained a strong connection with the region. “The Wimmera is very close to my heart,” she said. “This is about giving back to the community and chatting about the sport I love.” Stephan said persistence was key to succeeding in any sport or activity.

New Fitz fits nicely Harrow district breeders Peter and Marie Fitzgerald have enjoyed plenty of harnessracing success over the years with horses carrying the ‘Fitz’ moniker. The latest to fly the family flag, Blue Vein Fitz, brought up her maiden victory at Terang. The three-year-old daughter of Betterthancheddar, USA, began smartly from gate two and when in front driver Matty Craven set a moderate tempo through the first half of the 1680-metre contest. Craven gave his charge more rein at the 800-metre mark and the filly dashed home in splits of 28.7 and 28.1 seconds to score by 3.1 metres in a rate of 1:57.3. Blue Vein Fitz is the fourth and final offspring of Hi Ho Fitz, 16 wins, and a half-sister to Ritzy Fitz, five wins, Sammy Fitz, two, and Big Mumma Fitz, five. Concongella owner-trainer Kenneth Taylor Junior was also a winner at Terang, with his seven-year-old gelding Kempseys Delight leading all the way with Ararat reinswoman Emma Hamblin in the sulky. The son of Bettors Delight, USA, is a veteran of 95 starts and has been a consistent performer for Taylor since debuting as a three-year-old at Charlton on December 31, 2015. Although, in a frustrating run of outs, Kempseys Delight racked up 17 minor placings from his first 34 starts before scoring a victory at Hamilton in June 2018. With the drought broken, Kempseys Delight has since built a more than respectable career record of five wins, 30 minors and $48,346 for the Taylor family.

Horsham owners Barry and Yvonne Dunn also celebrated a victory at the Terang meeting when their four-year-old gelding Glenavril King out-toughed the opposition in an $8000 race over 2180 metres. Glenavril King has been racing in redhot form since joining the Grant Campbell team at Great Western about five weeks ago. The son of Courage Under Fire, NZ, has notched up three wins and a second for the Campbell-Manning camp and now boasts a career record of five wins, seven minors and a bank of $32,070 from 23 starts. Metro class squaregaiter Deltasun resumed after an eight-week absence with a strong performance at Terang, taking out the trotters handicap with Kerryn Manning aboard. The six-year-old gelded son of Tennotrump stepped away slowly but safely from its 40-metre handicap and made ground gradually to tack onto the field. Manning was content to bide her time with Deltasun until the 500-metre mark when she eased the trotter out three and four wide and made a run at the leaders. Deltasun sprinted quickly to have the race in its keeping at the top of the home straight and went on to score by 3.4 metres in a rate of 2:02.3 for the 2180-metre journey. With a record of 18 wins, 19 minors and $241,385 Deltasun has already given owner Alison Young and her father-in-law and trainer Terry Young plenty of joy and barring injury there looks to be more in store. – Tony Logan

AFL Academy new to college

orsham College will launch a new student-leadership program based on Australian rules football next year.

The college will introduce an AFL Academy program, the first program of its type at the school, in partnership with AFL Wimmera Mallee. Decorated and experienced regional football coach Gareth Hose will co-ordinate the academy, which will operate in every year level at the college. Leading teacher Liz Klinge will also lead the program and Horsham businessman, former coach and AFL player Shayne Breuer is coaching director. The program is designed to provide pathways to further education through sport. The school is already seeking expressions of interest for next year’s year-seven group. Mr Hose said the idea was more than simply creating good footballers. “It’s about promoting future leaders both in community football and local business,” he said. “There is a lot of talent and passion in this community. “A program like this harnesses that talent and

passion, and hopefully provides students with great outcomes.” The program focuses on boys and girls development. As well as physical skills, its aim is to also develop individuals as people, in particular leadership and community skills. Other development areas include physical fitness and training, nutrition, injury prevention, mindfulness and psychology. The program will feature excursions to elite facilities and to see AFL clubs in action and using School Sport Victoria and elite competitions. Course selection at all year levels will be based on Horsham College values of community character, commitment, care and collaboration, as well as skill. AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon said the academy would benefit individuals and have an impact on the standard of football in the region ‘for many years’. “AFL clubs are not only looking for talented players, but players that are good members of society. A focus on developing social and leadership skills will ultimately benefit each individual,” he said.

Probe into stars continues Former Wimmera resident Steve Davies has added his thoughts on Wimmera sporting stars by providing his best football team of players who were born or recruited from the Wimmera to play in AFL-VFL. Mr Davies, now of Geelong, left the region in 1983 and after seeing The Weekly Advertiser’s top-20 sports stars was compelled to put forward his thoughts. He was particularly keen to see former Geelong star Doug Wade, from Horsham, and Collingwood’s Rene Kink, Prestige club in Ararat, feature prominently. He accepted a challenge and presented his top Wimmera AFL-VFL side – Backs: Brad Sholl, Geelong-Horsham; Scott Turner, Ararat-Richmond; Dean Wallis, NhillEssendon.
