Webster: Get the jab M

BY DEAN LAWSON

ember for Mallee Anne Webster has urged people across the Wimmera-Mallee to seize the opportunity when presented with a chance to vaccinate against COVID-19.

Dr Webster, commenting on official approval of the first roll-out of a COVID-19 vaccine in Australia, said she had few qualms about being vaccinated and urged everyone ‘who could’ to do the same. She said people should have confidence in the methodical approach Australia had taken in ensuring vaccines were safe as well as effective. “I will be doing it, my family will be doing it and I expect all my staff will be doing it. I can’t make decisions for

people on this but I certainly encourage everyone across Mallee to see it as a way forward,” she said. “I can see no reason to doubt the process. Australia has waited and taken a very safe approach. We have been slower than other countries in allowing for full approval and now at last, the day has come. “This is a vaccination and similar to protecting ourselves from other diseases such as flu or measles. “We are really keen to see roll-out of the vaccine and ultimately get back to life as we know it. It is a really important step. “If people have concerns or questions then I encourage them to see their GPs.” Australian medical regulator, the

Therapeutic Goods Administration, TGA, provisionally approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for use in Australia on Monday. It had spent months assessing the vaccine manufactured in the United States of America and Europe to ensure it met high safety, efficacy and quality standards. The first stage of a community rollout of the vaccine is scheduled to start in late February or early March and start with 80,000 injections a week. It is not mandatory. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt said world-class regulators at TGA had been working ‘tirelessly’ to introduce a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine in Australia. “The TGA’s processes are, I believe,

the best in the world and we have ensured that they are thorough. The TGA has placed safety above all else,” he said. The Pfizer vaccine is part of Australia’s multi-vaccine approach to tackling COVID-19. Australia has secured supply of 10-million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which has high efficacy but also logistical requirements to be stored at an extremely cold temperature. Australia also has more than 53-million doses of the University of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, still awaiting approval but with less logistical issues. Dr Webster said expectations were that a priority group of Australians such as front-line healthcare and aged-

care staff and residents would receive the first dose of the vaccine as soon as it became available. She said the vaccine would be free of charge. Dr Webster stressed that the Wimmera-Mallee, despite experiencing relatively few COVID-19 cases, was far from immune from the disease. “Again, I for one, as soon as I’m allowed, will be getting the jab,” she said. Wimmera Health Care Group medical services director Dr Rob Pelgram said there was considerable discussion about the vaccine roll-out at a national meeting of Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators last week.

Reward for epic journey BY SARAH MATTHEWS

evin ‘Porky’ O’Neill is unlikely to jump on a bike any time soon, but any saddlesoreness from his epic threeday adventure quickly fades when he remembers the outcome.

Melburnian Mr O’Neill rode more than 320 kilometres from Sunshine to Warracknabeal on a 1970s Dragster called ‘Purple Pain’ to raise money for Bob Fisher, of Brim. Mr O’Neill met his ‘mentor’ as a kid, when he would spend holidays in the Mallee town hunting, fishing and mixing with the locals. When he discovered Mr Fisher had Parkinson’s disease, a progressive nervous system disorder, he decided to turn a passion into a fundraiser. Mr O’Neill hoped Porky’s Pedal for Bob – an idea conceived after a few beers – would raise $10,000 towards the cost of medication, home modification and a donation to Parkinson’s Victoria. He raised $20,155. “I was absolutely blown away by the generosity of people, not only at the weekend but also in the leadup,” Mr O’Neill said. “We had 130 or so donations on the mycause page, from my friends and people in Melbourne. “And the people of Brim were so generous. Everyone was happy to bid on auction items and buy raffle tickets – I think we raised $2500 from the raffle alone.” Mr O’Neill spent Thursday night

PEDAL POWER: Brim’s Bob Fisher, right, greets long-time friend Kevin O’Neill as he arrives at Warracknabeal’s Palace Hotel on Saturday afternoon. Mr O’Neill rode more than 320 kilometres on a 1970s Dragster bike to raise money towards the cost of medication and home modifications for Mr Fisher, who has Parkinson’s disease. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER in Learmonth, Friday night at St Arnaud and arrived at Warracknabeal’s Palace Hotel at about 4pm, Saturday. “Learmonth Caravan Park put us up for nothing the first night, which was good,” he said. “I had one puncture, wore a tyre out. First gear is non-existent, so I was doing it in second gear all the way.” The beer he was handed at the finish line was certainly well-earned. “The last 20 kilometres was the hardest bit of the whole thing,” he said. “The wind blew up and it was 37 degrees or whatever it was. For the two and a half days before that

I didn’t have any wind. It was all good – but that last 20 was tough.” The festivities continued at Brim sports club on Sunday, with raffles, an auction and children’s activities. Mr O’Neill said it was a special day for the Fisher family and the wider community. “Bob was blown away by it all,” he said. “Woodbine, the disability service, also presented him with a life membership. They had been looking for a special occasion to do it and this one seemed fitting.” Woodbine Board of Management representatives presented Mr Fisher with a life membership of Woodbine in recognition of his

substantial voluntary work for the organisation. In 1989, Mr Fisher walked 600 kilometres to raise money for the organisation and has volunteered for Warrack Warriors at Tri State Games and in programs, regularly visiting ill participants and advocating on their behalf. Mr O’Neill said it was a special moment. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the house,” he said. “I’d like to thank everyone for their kindness and generosity. “I’m not in a hurry to get back on a bike any time soon, but it was a worthy cause.”

Market returns Natimuk Farmers Market will return on Sunday, with organisers settling into a new venue for 2021 to enable the event to abide by COVID-safe conditions. Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth encouraged people to attend the event at the town’s showground. The market was postponed last week due to soaring temperatures. “Even though our return markets have been extremely popular, a lot of people don’t know we’ve moved, so we want to get that message out there,” Mrs Bysouth said. She said there were plenty of positives to the new venue. “We have more power, state-of-the-art toilets and more space to ensure physical distancing and other COVID-safe regulations are met,” she said. Sunday’s market replaces one cancelled in June last year. “This is a special market to support our stallholders and give them an opportunity to recoup any lost income after last year’s was cancelled due to COVID,” Mrs Bysouth said.

Mining information WIM Resource project managers have urged people keen to know more about exploration works for copper, gold and other valuable metals to the west and north-west of the Grampians to register for public meetings this week. WIM Resource, which has an office in Horsham, owns several exploration projects in Victoria and will start low-impact exploration activities, mainly on road reserves, in an area known as Stavely Block 10 early this year. The 757-square-kilometre block includes Wonwondah, Laharum and Brimpaen districts. WIM Resource has public meetings scheduled for Wonwondah Hall today, Laharum Hall tomorrow and Brimpaen Hall on Friday. The sessions are from 7.30pm.

Mandy: I’m one of many BY SARAH MATTHEWS

hill’s Mandy Stephan wants to use her national Australia Day accolade to shine a light on the vital role maternal and child health nurses play in maintaining strong rural communities.

Yesterday, Mrs Stephan joined the Governor-General’s 2021 honour list, awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia, OAM, in the General Division for her service to nursing, particularly to child and maternal health. “I feel a bit humbled by the honour,” Mrs Stephan said. “There are many nurses like me in rural Victoria who do a great job and provide a great service for rural families as part of a maternal and child health service that has been running for more than 100 years. “I see myself as one of many doing what we need to do.” Mrs Stephan is West Wimmera Health Service’s sole maternal and child health nurse. She also runs a pregnancy care clinic and ‘well women’s clinic’ at Nhill hospital. Mrs Stephan said strong antenatal and maternal and child health services were vital assets, particularly in rural, regional and remote areas. “It’s called maternal and child health but actually, it’s about young families and providing support for a family life cycle,” she said. “It’s one of the resources that has never really been recognised. “It’s a rewarding job and a very dynamic one, especially in rural communities. “At the start of a week you have a plan, but your days might be completely different to what you thought they were going to be. “It’s important to be flexible and available. My phone is always on the kitchen windowsill – I try to be available to help parents as much as I can.” Mrs Stephan said her heart and soul belonged in the Wimmera-southern Mallee. She was born and raised at Kaniva, one of five children. Her father was a farmer and mother, an infant welfare nurse. Mrs Stephan followed in her mother’s footsteps, studying nursing and midwifery in Melbourne in the late 1970s and early 1980s. After completing her studies she moved to Nhill, which at the time, offered the closest maternity hospital to Kaniva. She met her husband, Gus, a farmer, and the couple had three children, Lucy, Fred and Oscar. Mrs Stephan said she knew being

EMPOWERING FAMILIES: Nhill’s Mandy Stephan has won an Order of Australia Medal for her service to nursing, particularly maternal and child health. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER a mother and a farmer’s wife would make shift work near-impossible, so she returned to study and by the end of the 1980s had qualified as a maternal and child health nurse.

Partnership

Maternal and child health nurses work in partnership with families to care for babies and young children until they start school. The free service includes visits to a nurse at 10 key ages and stages in a child’s development. “The community has been very accepting of me as the nurse,” Mrs Stephan said. “I’ve found it very rewarding and it’s been an honour.” Mrs Stephan said nurses were good observers of human behaviour, which stemmed from ‘a love of people’. “We love to chat, which is helpful when it comes to getting to know our families and their concerns,” she said. “As a maternal and child health nurse, I know there are all different types of parents and all different types of parenting. “Just because something works for one family doesn’t mean it will work for another. “It’s our role to support in a gentle way and it’s up to the family to accept or not accept our advice. “We are there to empower parents, because when a parent feels confident, their child will feel empowered and confident as well.”

Rural maternity services have changed majorly throughout Mrs Stephan’s time at Nhill. “We don’t deliver babies at Nhill hospital anymore, all mothers have to travel further afield, usually to Horsham, Bendigo, Ballarat, Hamilton or Melbourne,” she said. “I’ve seen a decline in population because of the drought and all of those things, and the demographics have changed. We are more multicultural now. “We have a lot of Karen people who use the service. They are beautiful mothers, so natural and patient, and appreciative of the service you provide. “There’s also been a shift in caregiving, with fathers becoming more involved in caring for their children. “We have also seen the introduction of childcare and early learning services at Nhill, including three and four-year-old kindergarten. “Early years services are incredibly important in rural and remote areas and offer a mix of educational and health professionals.”

and ongoing learning opportunities. Mrs Stephan also oversees West Wimmera Health Service’s pregnancy care clinic, which offers a range of services from antenatal classes to shared care with Horsham-based GP obstetricians. “Instead of all the mothers having to travel all the time, they can have some appointments with nurses at Nhill,” she said. “We do blood pressure, listen to the baby and if we need to, we ring a doctor. “It’s helped to fill a gap because so many girls were travelling to Horsham, waiting 30 minutes to see a doctor, then having their appointment – which might only take 15 minutes – and driving home, often with a toddler in tow. “Having a pregnancy clinic at Nhill is part of trying to keep services local. If we take away services, we take away community. If we have good health services available to everyone and good education services, the community will thrive.” Mrs Stephan said she believed it was important to look after the community’s ‘bookends’. “In the Wimmera-southern Mallee there is a lot of focus on the elderly, because of the percentage of population, but we also need to look after our young families,” she said. “If the bookends are strong and solid, our society will be a better one.”

Webster: Get the jab From page 1 Dr Pelgram said the process would involve establishing vaccination sites that met health, community and vaccine requirements and Grampians Public Health Unit, which would manage the setting up across the region, was busy assessing details. “The challenge will be logistics and co-ordination,” he said. “The science is now pretty good in terms of what these vaccines can and can’t do and which vaccines are suitable for which patients. “There is a four-phase roll-out. The initial phase will be targeting high-risk people – front-line workers, people over the age of 70 and an Aboriginal-Torres Strait Islander group. “AstraZeneca will likely probably start to roll out in late March and that will be the one that will be available to the general public. Thankfully that vaccine is similar to other vaccines and can be rolled out through reasonable routine logistics. It will take several months to get a formal roll-out.” Dr Pelgram said while the vaccination might prevent illness from the disease, people might still carry it. “As part of the roll-out there will still be a requirement for masks and social distancing, at least for the short to medium term,” he said. “It might take a full year to get to a sufficient number of the population of vaccinated people to stop the virus being transmitted. It’s going to take some time and people will need to be patient.”

Upgrades to Stawell Road Regional Roads Victoria will resurface a one-kilometre section of Stawell Road in Horsham between Derry Parade and Wimmera River Bridge until March 1. Works including all north and southbound lanes are scheduled to occur between 6pm and 7am from February 8. A contractor will be working at night for the safety of road users and to minimise interaction between construction crews and traffic and reduce congestion and delays. More than 18,000 vehicles use this section of the Western Highway daily. All lanes on one side of the Western Highway will be closed during the nightworks and both north and southbound vehicles will be directed through the works area by traffic controllers. Both sides of the highway and all lanes will reopen from 7am each day.

Development framework in place R

BY DEAN LAWSON

ealising growth opportunities emerging in the Wimmera is at the crux of employment, housing and migration reports set to go before development leaders.

Positive regional feedback to planning proposals has prompted the region’s peak development group to up the ante in formalising directional frameworks. Wimmera Development Association chief executive Chris Sounness said reports going before the organisation’s development board next month reflected a compelling need for regional immigration, housing expansion and connecting employers and employees to meet growth expectations. “We’ve put details forward in engaging stakeholders and the feedback has provided an evidence-based approach that involves private business, com-

munity and local, state and federal government sector investment,” he said. “This positive feedback for jobs, housing and immigration planning has given us the confidence to further pursue opportunities and establish a list of recommendations.” One of the association’s key projects is working with consultants and groups on a migration strategy review, designed to establish how to capture immigration to generate socio-economic growth. The association has consultants from Ethical Fields, which has a focus on empowering rural communities and community wealth building, working on the document in liaison with migrantsettlement groups and agency representatives. Mr Sounness said attracting migrants to the region to fill pressing job vacan-

cies obviously worked hand-in-glove with meeting housing requirements. “Local government has an important role to play and is keen to be at the forefront in encouraging investment for further housing development in the region,” he said. “Likewise, there are developers in the region working to fast-track housing-development projects. “This all complements what the State Government is doing with its Big Build program. The Federal Government has also been keen to be further informed about what is happening in the Wimmera and southern Mallee and requested more details that we will present in the coming months.”

Growth

Mr Sounness said a positive regional response to planning had reinforced a belief that the region was on the cusp of a potential growth period.

“There seems little doubt now that migration and housing, along with filling jobs will be critical in realising opportunities,” he said. “What we’ve found is that there are many people looking to grow their businesses but recruiting is challenging due to housing availability. “With everyone’s shoulder to the wheel to overcome housing constraints the number of people coming to the region from across Australia and around the world will grow.” Mr Sounness stressed that a consistent seizing-opportunities message for the region was much more than wishful thinking. “It is much more than simple idle philosophical chatter. We have various industries either already flourishing or in development stages at the moment. This is based on agriculture, mining, food processing and renewable-ener-

Milestone celebration for Betty Horsham’s Betty Smith celebrated her milestone 100th birthday on Monday in the best way she could think of – surrounded by her family. Mrs Smith’s two daughters, two of her four grandchildren and her youngest great-grandson Eddie, six months, were on hand to celebrate the special occasion. “I don’t get to see them very often because they don’t live in Horsham,” Mrs Smith said. “My two daughters couldn’t be further apart – one in Darwin and one in outback South Australia. “It’s just lovely to have them here. And of course, little Eddie is the centre of attraction. He doesn’t cry – he’s so good.” Mrs Smith also had a party on Saturday with her daughter Pam’s side of the family, who travelled from South Australia. Mrs Smith was born and bred in South Australia, at Glenelg, moving to Horsham in 1970 with her late husband, Ron. “He worked for Elders Smith so we travelled around quite a lot, although we’re both South Australians,” she said. “Ron was always a branch manager of Elders and he became Wimmera-Mallee district manager.” After moving to Horsham, Mrs Smith became president of the hospital ladies auxiliary for five and a half years. She also volunteered for the Citizens Advice Bureau. “Before I got married, I was an air hostess with Australian National Airways, the first main passenger airline,” she said. “I’d never been in a plane when I joined ANA. I was stationed in Melbourne for a year and Adelaide for a year. We used

We had to stop to refuel, you see.” Despite her age, Mrs Smith is ‘fit as a fiddle’ and still lives at home. “My legs are a bit wobbly, and my memory, but the in between is good,” she said. “I’m not on any medication or anything. I’m lucky in that respect.” Mrs Smith’s daughter, Sue Smith, said her family was thrilled to celebrate the significant milestone.

“Mum had always said, ‘If I’m spared…’, but we were fairly confident she’d make it,” she said. “The sad thing is many of her dear friends have already passed, but their daughters have come along to visit mum on her birthday, which is lovely. “She has neighbours and other people in the street who have been a wonderful support to her. “It’s a good community and having neighbours look out for one another means a lot to Pam and I.” – Sarah Matthews

gy prospects. There is also a renewed sense of optimism about rural and regional living,” he said. “Sure, there is a level of complexity and lot of moving parts in all of this, but what we’re seeing from a regional perspective is a strong push for solidarity and everyone aligning to work together. “The Wimmera-Mallee has a series of major service centres and municipalities that all work for their own self-interests. But there are also inescapable connections between them that form quite a powerful position in attracting investment and generating growth. Working as a region has enormous advantages.” Mr Sounness said after the presentation of the reports, Wimmera Development Association would turn its direction to clearly identify areas of employment growth.

dams. The dams also provide water to maintain sporting reserves at Horsham’s Dudley Cornell Park.

The trust is keen to connect to pipeline supply and the information is designed to help with quotes and contractor engagement. GWMWater chief executive Mark Williams said the corporation had also been working with Horsham Rural City Council regarding an ‘integrated water-cycle management solution’ that would involve bringing recycled water back into Horsham to irrigate public green areas. He said recycled supply to the cemetery was also among considerations. Horsham Rural City Council infrastructure director John Martin said an initial meeting about improving water supply to areas of Horsham north, including Dudley Cornell Park, had been positive. “We’re keen to work with the cemetery trust and GWMWater and with the annual threat of water shortages after dry summers we’re keen to extend supply,” he said. Trust members are keen to explore a $30,000 to $80,000 project that taps into WimmeraMallee Pipeline supply and allows them to water the cemetery 12 months of the year. Having access to an ‘affordable and permanent’ supply is at the core of the trust’s ultimate aim to transform the overall cemetery, which sits on Crown land, into a green and welcoming park-like gardens environment. The trust accesses limited stormwater supply from nearby Horsham Police Paddock

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy, meanwhile, has encouraged cemetery trusts in the region to apply for Department of Health and Human Services grants to fund cemetery infrastructure, amenities, maintenance, equipment and training. She said major objectives of the grants program were to enhance cemetery services across Victoria, support and strengthen public cemetery governance, develop and maintain community infrastructure, support and sustain the volunteer cemetery trust workforce and invest in communities. She said examples of suitable grant requests included the removal of infrastructure or other items that pose a public safety risk, purchase of lawnmowers, garden tools, watering systems or water tanks, construction or repairs to fences, gates, roads, driveways, pathways, car parks, toilets, storage sheds, rotundas, niche walls and-or the establishment of new burial areas, grave covers and shoring equipment, computer hardware and software, health and safety training and removal of trees that pose a public safety risk. “I encourage all our local cemetery trusts to consider lodging an application for financial support to help them continue the fantastic work they do for our communities,” she said. Ms Kealy said further details were available online at www2.health.vic.gov.au/ public-health/cemeteries-and-crematoria/ grants.

WMWater will provide Horsham Cemetery Trust with details about connection to Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline as exploration continues into securing affordable and secure supply for the cemetery.

Funding available

NEXT YEAR: Organisers of WACK’s Horsham Car and Bike Show are working on plans to present a ‘bigger and brighter’ event in 2021.

WACK looks to small events Organisers of a Horsham car and bike show aimed at supporting vulnerable children will look to smaller events following the cancellation of this year’s show. Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids, WACK, organisers cancelled what would have been the 21st annual Horsham Car and Bike Show due to complications around COVID-safe planning. The event, which normally attracts up to 3000 people, runs as a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House. Last year, more than $10,000 was raised to go towards renovating a charity house in Melbourne to accommodate seriously ill children. Committee member Simon Clark said despite the cancellation, the committee would push ahead with smaller events

during the year to raise money. “A few smaller events throughout the year such as fundraising drives will hopefully keep the social side of things going after the crazy year that was last year,” he said. Mr Clark said due to the high volume of people expected to attend the day, it was better to cancel. “It’s been going for 20 years and we just don’t want to tarnish it in any way – we think the smartest thing was to not go ahead,” he said. “It will definitely be back bigger and brighter than ever, with a bit of luck next year.” Trustee Keith Fischer and Brendan McKinnon founded WACK after seeing the effects of cancer on then 18-month-old Brandon Taylor and his family. Mr Clark, who joined the cause about 18 years ago, said

the reason he supported the event was because it provided people with a social outlet while raising money for children in need. “The event has become more about helping the kids out there who need help,” he said. “But, people love the chance to catch up and have all day to yarn to everyone – it’s more of a social day than anything else and I think that’s why it’s been so good for so many years.” Mr Clark said he was confident the event would continue to grow when it could return next year. “Numbers keep increasing each year. I think last year we had about 213 entrants,” he said. “Last year we had everything form a T-model Ford to a Ferrari – we welcome all entries.” – Dylan De Jong

e can only hope government authorities understand the need to factor in appropriate health services as Wimmera-Mallee development leaders draw up blueprints to maximise growth.

Wimmera Development Association, which has clearly identified opportunities through industrial development in various sectors in the region, is firing up the afterburners in working on migration, housing and employment plans. But all efforts to capitalise on growth are a risk of coming to nothing if there is any doubt the region can not match growth potential with health-service needs and expectations. Availability of appropriate health services sits at the top of the priority list for regional progress and any shortcomings will be like a bag of lead in the saddle of a promising racehorse. For our region to push strongly forward the Wimmera must have an autonomous and expansive health service with a big, modern and multi-faceted hospital at its heart. Regardless of how it is achieved, we must aim to have, sooner rather than later, more doctors and medical specialists and equipment not only visiting, but also permanently based in the region.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

The difficulty in achieving anything close to this in contemporary circumstances tells us that we need a braver and more creative exploration of concepts, targeted investment and incentives. We’ve seen our leaders historically take profound financial risks on all sorts of controversial projects and ideas in other parts of the state. Some have paid off, some haven’t. The last big gamble they made in our part of the world was a great pipeline that now waters almost half the state. It is about time they took another serious gamble on our part of the world. Take the Wimmera out of Victoria and you no longer have Victoria. We are an integral part of the state and historically, pound-for-pound, already punch well above our weight economically. Anyone seriously observing what’s happening in the Wimmera can see the rumblings of fresh opportunity tentatively sprouting. Agriculture, for so long the heartbeat of

the region, remains a primary player and now mining, renewable energy and a fresh realisation of value-adding industry and business are gaining traction. There is also broad acceptance that digital communication has opened the door for remote workplaces. A critical ingredient governing whether the recipe is a success or failure is obviously population growth and why development and community leaders are pouring time and effort into promoting the region. But, for people to make the major decision to uproot their lives and head to the regions, they need assurances that go beyond a simple lifestyle appeal. The ready availability of expansive health services is at the top of a list with education services following not far behind. We need more people in the Wimmera, better assets to support them and greater recognition of Victorian potential beyond an hour and a half’s drive from Melbourne. Sure we can do much of what we need to do ourselves – in fact we must. But it would be nice to think we have some imaginative and innovative leaders willing to take a punt with inspired and forward-thinking policies based on a greater realisation of what far western Victoria has to offer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Time to demand

SIR, I refer to the letter ‘Health Service Stand’, The Weekly Advertiser, January 13 and comment further in relation to the inadequate opportunities provided by the board of Wimmera Health Care Group for meaningful consultation with the community. In your January 20 issue is an advertisement from Wimmera Health Care Group inviting people to take part in various meetings. Four are online Zoom meetings between January 28 and February 3, with only three face-to-face meetings. Two are in Horsham on February 5 at 11.30am and 2.30pm. The other is in Ballarat on February 10 at 3.30pm. I believe Zoom meetings for such an important discussion are inadequate and in addition, many people do not have access to Zoom. The two face-to-face meetings are programmed for the busiest day of the week, a Friday, during business hours when many who are working cannot attend. Surely a discussion of such importance to the wider Wimmera community is worthy of programming several evening meetings when most people at least have a chance to attend. I wonder if this is one of those occasions

where an organisations states ‘we have consulted’ but in fact have done everything within their means to limit discussion? On becoming aware of the lack of opportunities for meaningful discussion, I sent an email to Wimmera Health Care Group pointing out these inadequacies and am waiting to hear for a much better and inclusive arrangement. I urge all Horsham and wider Wimmera citizens to take part in this consultation process and demand that the Wimmera’s base hospital fully retains its autonomy. Bill Ower Horsham

I took a photo and sent it to my good lady, asking her what she wanted me to buy and what sizes and so on. I was approached by staff, who asked me to leave the shop, for ‘breaching store policy’. Customers were not permitted to take photos of stock. I was told ‘the owners don’t want photos posted to social media or sent to competitor stores’.

Councillor column with Cr David Bowe

The first three months of my term as a Councillor has been a learning curve but nonetheless an experience I have so far enjoyed thoroughly. Now that our Councillor group has settled in and the new year has started, I am very much looking forward to 2021 and the challenge of making progress for our regional city.

The thing that I want to see most is our community able to return to relatively normal times, without the pandemic getting in the way of the many wonderful events that are organised by our local groups. Much has been discussed about whether our football and netball season will return to normality, and let’s hope so, because it is especially important that young people get to enjoy being involved in sport. But there are also many other important gathering places which I would like to see rebound in 2021.

An example is the former Nexus building, now known as ‘The Station’. The building has been refurbished and is ready to be the new meeting place for HRCC youth services program. Let’s hope we can see large numbers of kids gathering there soon.

Over recent weeks it has been fantastic to see the Overland passenger train rolling through our city again. For a while it looked as though we may have lost it, but full credit must go to those who worked hard to keep it servicing the Wimmera. I have used it in the past to attend footy matches in Melbourne. It’s a very comfortable trip and I encourage others to use it because taking the train is much better than the road coach. I am also starting a new term as chairperson of the Wimmera Regional Library Corporation and I am looking forward to our first meeting in Edenhope next month.

During the worst of the Coronavirus lockdowns last year, customers were still able to borrow books using the library’s online ‘click and collect’ service. And it’s good to hear that many people chose to borrow books during that period, when all of our lives changed pace. It’s even better now that people can be back in the library to browse the titles on the shelves. The Horsham Library’s hours are now Monday to Friday 9am to 12noon and 2pm to 5pm and on Saturdays between 9.30am and 12.30pm. I have always believed that whatever technology is introduced to us it will never take the place of a public library. You can find a lot of resources there that are not available anywhere on the internet.

RATES IN FULL PAYMENTS Council reminds property owners who pay their rates in full that the annual payment is due Monday 15 February 2021. Anyone experiencing financial difficulties or having trouble making rates payments should contact Council as soon as possible to discuss their circumstances and make alternative arrangements. If you have not received your 2020/2021 annual rate notice, please use our online form to request a copy or contact our office on 03 5382 9777.

Boosted flow a tonic for river health C

BY DEAN LAWSON

atchment leaders are confident Wimmera River water quality in Horsham district will quickly improve as a result of a boosted environmental flow from Taylors Lake.

Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan said people were likely to notice a change in the river as a result of a daily allocation of 120 megalitres from the lake in the past week. He said the hope was that increasing an environmental water flow to a maximum allocation would prevent any serious deterioration of environmen-

tal conditions in Horsham and lower reaches of the river. Mr Brennan said a summer storm’s dumping of more than 100 millimetres at Glenorchy in the Wimmera’s upper catchment during the new-year break had created circumstances that could promote a ‘blackwater’ event. “What we know is that the storm created pulses of water to flow down what were relatively dry areas of the river and these would have picked up a lot of debris along the way,” he said. “This decomposing material has made its way here in the last few weeks and Horsham’s weir pool has retained some of the affected water. “We’ve been in the process of work-

ing with Horsham Rural City Council to lower the weir pool, allowing water to pass an increased amount of environmental flow from Taylors Lake. “This significant increase in flows is designed to improve water quality in Horsham and downstream of Horsham.”

Carbon increase

A build-up of decaying plant matter washed into rivers, usually by sudden heavy rain, increases carbon levels in waterways. A bacterial decomposition process can then rob the waterway and aquatic life of oxygen stores and a release of carbon can turn the water black. While a natural part of natural boom

and bust cycles of the Murray Darling Basin and how rivers generate longterm food supplies to support eco-systems, it can have a dramatic impact on water quality. Waterway managers consistently work through extensive monitoring programs to maintain a balance between natural circumstances and the health of communities that rely on the river. “It’s about working with the natural environment while at the same time ensuring we can meet what’s needed to maintain eco-systems as well as socio-economic community expectations,” Mr Brennan said. “People in Horsham should be notic-

ing an improvement in water quality and colour this week as we top up what drops out of the weir pool. “The water pushing further downstream will be further diluted simply through volume and overall be beneficial for the system.” Water quality in the river, ranging from appearance to smell, has been the subject of considerable Horsham community discussion and debate this month. Mr Brennan said Wimmera CMA was fully aware of community concerns. “We are doing as much as we possibly can to address circumstances and improve water quality,” he said.

Transport call amid harvest

AVIATION INSIGHT: Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre continues to be popular with visiting tourists keen to gain insight into the Wimmera’s aviation history. The centre, where people are seeing the evolution of several projects, is open on weekends, public holidays and by appointment. Volunteers are working on making a second engine on a restored Second World War Avro Anson operational and have completed revamping a Link Trainer, designed to help trainee pilots fly by the use of instruments alone at night or in heavy cloud. The centre’s Len Creek is pictured with the Anson, which has been the subject of years of restoration work. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Recovery centre opens at Lake Bolac Ararat municipal leaders hope a newly built resource recovery centre in Lake Bolac will help simplify waste management for residents. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the Lake Bolac Resource Recovery Centre would open today. “Ararat Rural City Council is concerned with the way we manage waste in our region and want to make sustainable processes as easy and simple as possible for our residents and contractors,” he said. “The new facility will encourage and improve the processing of recycling and waste materials for the Lake Bolac community and surrounds,

including a reuse shop so the community can reclaim materials from the centre.” Dr Harrison encouraged residents to separate their general waste and recycling materials to assist council with waste management. “The new site has been developed with the future in mind and will be continually improved to ensure that best-practice waste management is continued into the future,” he said. Dr Harrison said the former site would be closed while the council rehabilitated it to Environment Protection Authority guidelines. Gate fees, opening hours and a list of accepted items can be found at www.ararat.vic.gov.au.

A bumper harvest across Victoria has spurred the state’s peak farming group to call for more government investment in regional roads and railway infrastructure. Victorian Farmers Federation believes more money is essential to ensure transport systems can deal with increased levels of freight in the future. VFF Grains Group president Ashley Fraser said this summer’s harvest, forecast to be one of the industry’s largest, had highlighted shortfalls in the transport system. “We’re expecting the second-largest grain harvest in Victoria’s history,” he said. “While this is a fantastic result for growers and our regional economy, it will no doubt put immense pressure on our already strained regional road and rail-freight networks as it goes from paddock to market. “Regional roads continue to crumble and freight trains crawl to port at a huge cost to

industry. Our freight rail network is critically under maintained and the urgently needed Murray Basin Rail Project is already two years overdue.” Mr Fraser said investment in rail freight was essential to get trucks off roads and reduce Victoria’s future road-maintenance and upgrade bill. “On certain sections of track, trains have been reduced to a maximum speed of 20 kilometres an hour,” he said. “Time is money and many operators have made the decision to transport produce on our roads. “This is forcing more trucks onto the roads, with the potential for 10,000 B-double trucks of grain using the roads each month. “We are calling on the government to do the planning now to ensure this year’s budget invests big in regional Victorian freight infrastructure and plans for the future.”

Grampians in the spotlight L

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ocations in the Wimmera and Grampians are set to benefit from a major tourism campaign off the back of the Australian Open.

Visit Victoria filmed in several locations across western Victoria last week as part of collaborative marketing project with the major tennis tournament. Project co-ordinators took the Australian Open men’s and women’s trophies to several iconic locations across the region, including Grampians National Park and instalments of the Wimmera’s Silo Art Trail, ahead of the tournament in early February. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said the purpose of the campaign was to encourage people to continue exploring regional Victoria following the economic fallout caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Film crews spent a couple of days getting shots from some iconic destinations across Victoria and our region,” he said. “It was really about providing us

with the cups as an opportunity to promote our beautiful landscapes. When the Australia Open cups come out to our region and put us in front of an audience, it is critically important we springboard off that opportunity.” Visit Victoria data showed the estimated impact on visitor expenditure in Victoria for 2020 was $21.7-billion, which included the COVID-19 outbreak and preceding bushfires. Mr Sleeman said despite a ‘significant’ drop in visitor expenditure, intrastate tourism contributed to a ‘significant’ resurgence in travellers to the Grampians during the summer holiday period. “I think the only word that can be used to describe tourism during the summer period is unprecedented,” he said. “We haven’t had high occupancy levels like this for a long time. “Our regional brand and slogan ‘space to breathe’ is really helping to drive that recovery in the age of COVID-19. “Numbers of visitors are up at least 20 percent on pre-COVID levels.”

“We haven’t had high occupancy levels like this for a long time. Our regional brand and slogan ‘space to breathe’ is really helping to drive that recovery in the age of COVID-19” – Marc Sleeman

Mr Sleeman said the majority of visitors were coming from Melbourne and other metropolitan centres. “We know about 80 percent of our visitation is coming from metro areas,” he said. “Once the ‘ring of steel’ came down late last year, metro people came flocking out to the regions because they wanted to go to an area with open spaces. “Our open spaces are driving this visitation. “That has been a real positive in the sense that people want to connect with nature out in the national park during COVID.” Great Western winery Seppelt

Wines will also feature during the Australian Open. Seppelt cellar door manager and Great Western Enterprises chief executive Bruce Ahchow said the business’s wine would be poured as part of the celebrations. “Seppelt wines will be poured at the Australian Open, which will be in conjunction with Visit Victoria’s campaign to support the regions,” he said. “This campaign will be very important for the visitor economy and will hopefully make people aware that the brand, the wine and the bottle come from the Grampians.” Mr Ahchow said the campaign would be ‘critically’ important to continue promoting the region and aid economic recovery for tourism and related industries. “We need to get back to some sort of an equilibrium by showcasing what we’ve got here in attracting Victorians from Melbourne, Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong and where all the population bases are to get them out into the Grampians,” he said.

FIVE-DAY forecast

COVID response A Wimmera Development Association Covid Community Recovery Plan will focus on seven sectors when project leaders present the document to a board meeting next month. Association chief executive Chris Sounness said the plan would explore community health and wellbeing, tourism arts and culture, sport and recreation, environmental water and energy, infrastructure and transport, economic development and education and training. He said the plan had been under development since July last year and had involved regional business and community representatives. “The plan summarises the best way, based on identified priorities and opportunities, for the region to bounce back strongly from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said. “It provides a working framework that various authorities, local government, businesses and other organisations can base what are likely to be a broad mix of stimulus ideas, activities and projects. It also highlights opportunities and priorities in each sector.” Mr Sounness and his team will outline details in greater depth during the board presentation on February 8.

AUSTRALIA DAY Hindmarsh volunteers honoured

ong-time community volunteer Pauline McCracken, of Nhill, is Hindmarsh Shire Council’s Australia Day citizen of the year. Among Ms McCracken’s efforts is arranging Nhill’s Christmas gift tree for the past 15 years, planting garden beds and beautifying the town by creating bunting for shop verandahs and decorating empty shop windows. Ms McCracken has been the driving force behind Nhill’s summer festival, ‘Fiesta Fridays in February’ for the past six years. Currently vice-chairperson of Nhill Town Committee and an active member for more than a decade, she has been working diligently on landscaping and planting at the town’s truck bay. Ms McCracken is a past member of a Horsham rock ’n’ roll club, is a member of Wimmera Mental Health Promotion Network and an active participant in several conservation and environmental support groups. In a professional capacity, Ms McCracken has worked as a counsellor throughout the Wimmera for 24 years. At her business, Lola’s Garage, she has had an open market table for the past eight years, offering a distribution point for recyclables that would otherwise have gone to landfill. Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay con-

gratulated Ms McCracken on her Australia Day accolade. “On behalf of council, I thank Pauline for her countless hours of volunteer work in our community and for helping people every day in her profession as a counsellor,” he said.

Young citizen

Cr Ismay described the shire’s young citizen of the year, Jack Kalms, as a ‘positive, active and outgoing person who is always thinking of ways to help the community and people in need’. Jack is school captain of Dimboola Memorial Secondary College for 2021 and was a member of Hindmarsh Shire Youth Council in 2020. His hobbies include spending time with his friends and family, water skiing and gardening, and his weekends often consist of playing football for Dimboola Football Netball Club, where his contribution within the club extends beyond playing, to helping around the club umpiring and supporting other players and members. In 2019, Jack was runner-up for an under-17 football club best and fairest award and received a school merit award after completing his Certificate II in Building and Construction. Last year, Jack received a Student Citizenship Award from The Order of Australia Association, Central Highlands Wimmera Regional Group.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER At the age of 13, Jack started his own gardening business, which he does in his spare time after school, on weekends and in his school holidays. Cr Ismay said he was honoured to present Jack with his award. “Jack is an outstanding young man who represents great leadership skills, and I wish him all of the best for his studies in year 12 this year and his future endeavors,” he said.

Rainbow Desert Enduro Rainbow Rises 240 is this year’s event of the year. Cr Ismay congratulated the hard-working team of volunteers who helped establish Rainbow on the national events stage. Rainbow hosted the final round of the Australian Off Road Championship, the inaugural Rainbow Desert

Enduro, in 2017, followed by rounds of the national championship in 2018 and 2019. The 2020 edition was a victim of the COVID-19 pandemic but is set to return in late August, 2021. Not content with delivering just one great event for Hindmarsh Shire each year, the Rainbow Desert Enduro Working Group, in partnership with the Victorian Off Road Racing Association introduced a new event in March 2019. An additional round of the Victorian state championship, Rainbow Rises 240, has also proven popular with state-level competitors and was staged in 2020, pre-COVID-19. It will return in March this year, along with a new event, with Rainbow to host the first round of the Australian SXS Championship for off-road race buggies in mid-March. Cr Ismay said the introduction of the new event cemented Rainbow as the centre of off-road racing in Victoria and a major player on the national off-road racing scene, attracting competitors and race fans from across Australia. “I look forward to seeing what this year holds for all future community and sporting events within Hindmarsh Shire,” he said.

Strength and empathy key in Ararat awards

rarat Rural City mayor Jo Armstrong has congratulated residents who demonstrated ‘outstanding contributions to their community’ throughout the past year.

Cr Armstrong presented four Australia Day awards at a ceremony in Ararat yesterday. Howard Hutchison won citizen of the year, with Zachary Nunan named young citizen of the year. Cr Armstrong said this year’s award recipients had a wide range of achievements. Mr Hutchison has been heavily involved in the Uniting Church of Australia, Ararat, and has led various

committees, including one overseeing the annual church fete, which raises a significant amount of money for social welfare activities. He also helped establish and continues to operate an emergency relief program for the rural city. Cr Armstrong said Mr Hutchison was well known throughout the municipality for his empathetic nature and helping people in need, showing respect without judgement. “Young citizen of the year, Zac Nunan has opened his own business at just 18 years old. ‘Trading with Zac’ has become a place for our young locals to socialise, and an opportunity for Zac to support his peers through providing them employment,” she said.

“Other recipients are already well-established staples of the community. “These community members and groups have made the most out of a difficult year, going to strenuous lengths to provide for the community, and help those who needed it.” Disability services provider Pinnacle Inc won a resilience award for its adaptation to continue providing for the community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. ‘Contributing, reliable and welcoming’ Willaura Bakery collected a local business of the year gong for providing for and connecting community through trying times. “The recipients chosen for the 2021 awards all have displayed strength and

empathy through a very challenging year,” Cr Armstrong said. “I would like to commend all those who were nominated for the awards and thank the people who took the time to nominate them. You have given council some very difficult decisions to make.” The municipality also welcomed two new Australian citizens yesterday, with Balbir and Gurwinder Kaur making the citizenship affirmation. Ararat chief executive Tim Harrison said although this year’s Australia Day ceremony had been affected by COVID-19 restrictions, he was pleased it was able to incorporate usual traditions. “Thank you to the Lions Club of

upanyup’s Michael Woods and Warracknabeal’s Lachie Stewart won recognition for their achievements and contributions to the community at Yarriambiack Shire Australia Day ceremonies yesterday.

Mr Woods, citizen of the year, has been an active member of Rupanyup’s historical society, consultative committee, Men’s Shed and agricultural and pastoral society as well as Dunmunkle Sump Oilers and Wheatlands Agricultural Machinery Museum. Mayor Graeme Massey said Mr Woods had been instrumental in preserving local history as owner-curator of Woods’ Farming and Heritage Museum at Rupanyup. Mr Woods, along with his late brother John, built the museum up to the ‘nationally significant collection’ it has been for nearly 40 years. The museum is an iconic tourist attraction bringing hundreds of visitors to Rupanyup each year. “Mr Woods is a very deserving award winner,” Cr Massey said. “With a lifetime of volunteering across many community

groups, Mr Woods is a quiet achiever. His time, vision, expertise and financial investment to the Woods museum is insurmountable. “The Woods museum has significantly contributed to the local tourism industry and is an important legacy for the Rupanyup community and the wider region.” Cr Massey said young citizen of the year, Lachie Stewart, was a natural-born leader with a keen desire to give back to his community. Lachie dedicates his time to helping others and has volunteered for the Active After School Communities Program and coached juniors in basketball, tennis and golf. As a footballer, Lachie won a spot in the Western Bulldogs Next Generation Academy program and played in the 2017 V-Line Cup. He was voted captain by his peers and coach in both under-14 and under-17 competitions. His school achievements include being nominated as school captain at Warracknabeal Secondary College in years six, 11 and 12. Lachie participated in yearnine advanced leadership and

Lachie has been awarded honour certificates for studies, the senior school sport award and School Sportsman of the Year. He completed year 12 in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and after university wants to come back

to the region with a degree and give back to the community he is proud to call home. “Lachie is an impressive young person who has achieved so much in his 18 years,” Cr Massey said. “A dedicated volunteer, Lachie has taken every opportunity to gain new skills and experience that will help him succeed in both his professional and personal pursuits.”

est Wimmera Shire leaders acknowledged ‘outstanding’ volunteers and community groups as part of Australia Day celebrations throughout the municipality. Longstanding Kaniva volunteer Annie Austin is this year’s citizen of the year. Mayor Bruce Meyer said Ms Austin was an outstanding community advocate who had dedicated countless hours to promoting her town. “She has volunteered her time co-ordinating projects including the Rogerson Street Playground upgrade, the ‘Spirit of Kaniva’ permanent photography display at the Kaniva Community Roadhouse and for the past 10 years she has acted as an administrator of the ‘Kaniva’ Facebook page, which promotes tourism to the town and district,” he said. “She is well known in the community for her commitment as a regular co-ordinator of photography exhibitions at the Purple Starfish and for donating photos for media, postcards and promotional materials for tourism to the town.” Ms Austin has previously mentored young people through a MATES mentoring program, works behind the scenes on the ‘Sheep Art Trail’ and acts as a steward at Kaniva Show. Apsley Craft Group and Retired Ladies collected a community group of the year award. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, the group dedicated their time and craft to support local community and other charitable causes,” Cr Meyer said. “The group’s notable achievements included handcrafting hundreds of gifts of handmade teddy bears, toiletry bags and clothing for international charitable organisation Samaritan’s Purse and the hand creation of hundreds of poppies for a 2020 Apsley Remembrance Day project.” The 2020 Harrow-Balmoral Football Netball Club Kangaroo Island Bushfire Recovery Project is the shire’s community event of the year. The event, which followed devastating bushfires in the summer of 2020, involved the club donating $14,000, a truckload of hay and fencing materials to Kangaroo Island recovery efforts. The project also saw a team of 39 club volunteers journey to Kangaroo Island for four days to help farmers rebuild.

New classes at Nati gym BY SARAH MATTHEWS

atimuk and District Gymnastic Club leaders have declared the club ‘open for business’ and are encouraging people to make the most of long-awaited vacancies.

Head coach Lynette Morrow said the club was welcoming new and returning members ahead of a return to classes on Monday. “The coronavirus pandemic has affected gymnastics – like all sports – which is why we currently have vacancies. We haven’t had vacancies for years,” she said. “We would like to encourage people to come out and have a try of one of our classes. “The gym caters for all ages

and abilities. We have quite a few members with physical or intellectual disabilities. We want it to be a place for everyone. “We mostly used to be a competitive organisation but more recently we have shifted our focus to include skill development and recreation. “Our new ninja classes are a great example of this, because the pressure to compete is off.” The club used a $2500 Horsham Rural City Council grant to buy a Little Aussie Ninja course, which includes obstacles, archways and a dive tunnel for budding ninjas to test their agility and strength. Natimuk Ninjas, for schoolaged children, will run at 4.30pm and 5.30pm on Tues-

OPEN INVITATION: Natimuk and District Gymnastic Club is opening its doors to new members to try a variety of classes on offer. Head coach Lynette Morrow, with gymnasts Freya Jones, 12, and Lani Jones, 15, check out some of the club’s ninja equipment for a new Natimuk Ninjas program. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER days and Wednesdays from next week. “In the course we have a suspended rope ladder, a climbing wall and swing ropes,” Mrs Morrow said. “The ninja classes are another option where kids develop skills in balance, agility, co-ordination, catching, swinging and climbing.” Mrs Morrow said gymnastics offered a range of physical and mental benefits, including enhanced gross-motor skills, co-ordination, climbing, balance and strength. “Gymnastics is also great for building self-confidence, teamwork and agility,” she said.

Along with after-school classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays – for both competitive and recreational gymnasts – coaches will offer Kindergym and Step into Gym programs. Kindergym is for confident walkers and Step into Gym is for four to five-year-olds. Classes are on Mondays and Thursdays. “People can contact the gym club and arrange to do a comeand-try session – for any level – before they need to sign up,” Mrs Morrow said. She said coaches had encouraged gymnasts to ‘do what they could’ at home during

COVID-19 lockdowns and government restrictions on gatherings. “It’s very hard to do gymnastics at home and we were also under strict guidelines as to what people were allowed to do in regards to our insurance,” she said. “The emphasis was on encouraging our gymnasts to maintain their strength and flexibility. “When the COVID restrictions eased we ran outdoor training sessions and limited indoor sessions on a casual basis. They were quite successful.” Mrs Morrow said many senior gymnasts would return

this year and attempt to hone their skills ahead of Gymnastics Victoria competitions. She said she expected members to be rusty after a long hiatus from competitive sport. “Everyone else is in the same boat, though,” she said. “With good planning and good training, I’m confident we’ll get back to where we were pretty quickly.” People can call the gym on 5387 1052 on weekdays bar Thursday from 4pm or email info@natigym.com.au to arrange a come-and-try session. People can also visit the gym website, natigym.com.au for more information.

Green light for annual ride

otorcycling enthusiasts from across the state will gather in Ararat on February 7 to recognise police officers killed in the line of duty and raise money for health-service improvements.

The 13th annual Grampians Ride to Remember has a green light to go ahead on the Sunday and the ‘green corridor’ event is open to licensed motorcyclists. The 200-kilometre ride is on sealed roads and includes the towns of Moyston, Pomonal and Halls Gap, where there will be a refreshment stop, and continue through Grampians National Park to Dunkeld and back via Glenthompson, Willaura and Maroona to Ararat’s Alexandra Gardens. A police escort will maximise safety and minimise disruption to other road users. Patron Victoria Police Superintendent Paul Margetts and police ‘solos’ would lead the ride, starting from Ararat RSL in Queen Street at 9am.

Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat Branch hosts the event and has thanked sponsors, supporters and volunteers, together with the riders, pillions and general public for their support. The ride acknowledges the sacrifice of police officers in the line of duty and is also designed to reflect the high level of value the community places on current Victoria Police members. All proceeds from the event will go towards the Ararat branch’s project to raise money for a $235,000 general x-ray project in the ‘John McNally’ Medical Imaging Department at East Grampians Health Service’s Ararat hospital. Ride chairman Dean Pinniger said the event would be different this year to adhere with COVID-19 restrictions. “Our ride executive has been working behind the scenes to cover off on all requirements and are very grateful for the assistance of the Blue Ribbon Foundation, Victoria Police, Ararat Rural City and other local councils,” he said.

“Most years we have had about 300 to 400 participating, so we will continue to monitor our online bookings leading up to the ride because we normally also allow for a percentage of day registrations”

“In addition, we have registered the ride with the State Government’s Department of Health and Human Services as a tier-three event which now allows us to accommodate up to 1000 participants. “Most years we have had about 300 to 400 participating, so we will continue to monitor our online bookings leading up to the ride because we normally also allow for a percentage of day registrations.”

Organisers have replaced a usual Ararat Lions Club barbecue at Alexandra Gardens with an individually packed lunch they will hand out to adhere to social-distancing requirements. A free ‘show ’n’ shine for participants and Blue Ribbon merchandise sales will still occur. Riders and pillions can register for $40. The cost covers a lunch pass, commemorative 2021 ride badge and complimentary bottled water following the event. People can find out more and register online at www.trybooking. com/BNGYM.

Call for action on bridge The dangers of a single-lane bridge on a road between Dadswells Bridge and Halls Gap has prompted Member for Lowan Emma Kealy to call for review and upgrade of circumstances. Ms Kealy said the Fyans Creek Road bridge, which had only enough room for one vehicle travelling in one direction at a time, was dangerous. She added the dangers were becoming amplified with an increase in tourism traffic. “When approaching the bridge travelling from Halls Gap towards Horsham there are only two small signs warning drivers that they are approaching a single-lane bridge,” she said. “The first sign reads ‘one lane bridge’ and the second sign closer to the approach advises ‘no overtaking or passing’. “Visibility is also a concern, because oncoming

traffic approaching from the Horsham direction cannot be seen due to a bend in the road. “There are no white lines anywhere on the approach to or on the bridge itself.” Fyans Creek Road is a common ‘short-cut’ for people travelling between Horsham and Halls Gap who are keen to avoid Western Highway traffic. Ms Kealy said media apps such as Google Maps directed traffic from Horsham to Halls Gap via the road, which was also a school bus route. “I am extremely concerned that it is only a matter of time before there is an accident or, even worse, a fatality,” she said. “My office first reported this issue in 2015 but no action has been taken. I am calling for a major review of signage and the widening of the bridge to two lanes before there is a tragedy.”

Steps to a child’s financial success

or many of us, our first experience of banking and savings was the school savings account program.

But in 2019 the Australian Securities and Investments Commission raised concerns that these accounts had little lasting impact on children’s savings behaviour. All parents want their children to be betteroff than they were – more secure and financially independent, but the big question remains... where do you start? Ushering your children toward financial security can be a simple three-step process. Step 1: Create good habits. Start early; learning to save is one of life’s great lessons. In an increasingly cashless society, it can be difficult for children to understand the value of money and how to save. Help them by: • Providing a piggy bank for very young children, or a glass jar through which they can see their savings mounting up. • Teaching the difference between needs and wants. Lead by example with your own savings habits. • Involving them in the household budget; compare prices at the supermarket and demonstrate bill-paying. • Paying pocket money for

age-appropriate chores and helping them to create a mini budget, apportioning money to: Spending on anything they want; donating to charity to instil a sense of community and empathy; saving for a goal which is helpful in teaching kids restraint and how to avoid impulse buys. Step 2: Inform. Nothing is free; water in the tap, electricity and even the internet do not just happen by magic. One of the best ways to teach kids about responsible money handling is to explain debt and the consequences for not meeting financial obligations, which segues neatly into a discussion about personal credit scores. People with better credit scores find seeking finance approval easier and often qualifies them for more advantageous lending deals and better interest rates. Helping kids understand the concept of a credit score can be a little daunting, so try these tips: Brush up on your knowledge first; don’t focus on numbers, explain that it’s about financial

behaviour over time; avoid complexity and keep the information age-relevant; use examples. Discuss mistakes you’ve made in the past, explain how you rectified them. Step 3: Consider where you are saving. Record-low interest rates have taken the fun out of savings, but do not let that stop your kids from calculating how much they can earn from the right type of account. The Moneysmart website has savings calculators that kids can play with and learn from. The banking and finance industry offers a plethora of accounts specifically designed to encourage kids to save. Help them research the account that will suit them; consider fees and interest. Additionally, searching online will reveal a range of websites, blogs and apps dedicated to engaging and educating kids about money and savings. Introduce your kids to good habits while they’re young, and you’ll be setting them up for success. Finding the most child-appropriate plans and accounts that specifically suit your child’s needs can be a minefield. Your financial adviser will be happy to work with you as you guide your children into a financially secure future.

CATCH OF THE DAY: Wimmera angler Geoff Miller is $2000 richer after snagging a golden tagged murray cod at Lake Charlegrark. Mr Miller and a friend headed to the lake after hearing it was one of the destinations included in a Victorian Fisheries Authority Golden Tag competition. Mr Miller said after a few hours persisting with chatter bait and trialling a new sounder, he and his friend reeled in a cod and noticed the tag attached to its dorsal fin. The competition was created to attract more tourism to Victoria’s regions. The fishing authority confirmed the cod was the only tagged fish at Lake Charlegrark, but there were still opportunities at locations including the Wimmera River, Taylors Lake, Lake Fyans, Lake Purrumbete and Rocklands Reservoir.

Grandparents part of planning S

ome grandparents take over care of their grandchildren, others want more contact with them. But what are their rights?

Here in the Wimmera, grandparents might already be caring for children, or might be concerned about their grandchild’s safety or wellbeing. The care of children comes under the family law act. It is the same law that applies when parents separate. The main consideration under this act is the ‘best interests of the child’. While grandparents do not have automatic rights, the importance of the relationship between child and grandparent is specifically noted in the act. If you, as a grandparent, want your grandchildren to live with or spend time with you, you can use it to apply for court orders. So, let’s look at an example. If the parents of your grandchild separate, you might be concerned about your ability to maintain your contact and relationship with that child. If the parents are getting a parenting plan or consent order, you could ask to be included. If you still cannot reach an agreement, the parents might need to apply to the court of parenting orders. Or, if the parents are in agreement, but you are still worried about your access, you can also apply to the court for parenting orders about your grandchildren. A parenting order can set out where the child

lives, who they spend time with, who has parental responsibility and what communication they have with other people. So this is also the order you might use if you are seeking to formalise your care of a grandchild. This is an area of family law that can be difficult to navigate, but there are steps you can take to maintain your relationship with your grandchildren.

WELCOME BACK: Ararat Senior Citizens Centre president John Woods and secretary Janet Murphy welcome seniors back to the centre for an ‘afternoon tea and chit-chat session’ last week.

Seniors celebrate return Ararat Senior Citizens Centre has reopened its doors to the community after a 10-month closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Centre president John Woods said he was excited to welcome members back to the organisation. “For Ararat Senior Citizens Club, easing into the ‘new normal’ comes with added precautions,” he said. “The centre will be open with limited capacity and modified programming in line with COVID-safe protocols. “For the time being, participants will be required to wear a face mask indoors, when not eating or drinking, and practise social distancing. “Prior to the pandemic, Ararat Senior Citizens Centre had a thriving social calendar – the club offered weekly activities from dances lessons, fashion parades and bingo to lunches. “At this time, the safest activity we can offer is afternoon tea, which will be served individually. “We are taking precautions to ensure the centre is a safe place to return to and look forward to providing activities that will get residents back to being active once again.” The centre started off the new year with an Page

‘afternoon tea and chit-chat session’ last week. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said countless seniors had felt the pandemic’s effects and had to self-isolate last year. “Council worked closely with the centre to provide support for senior residents who might have experienced loneliness due to the pandemic, especially for those who didn’t have family close by,” he said. “It’s great to see the senior citizens centre up and running. We’re proud to support an organisation that helps local seniors to stay connected to the community by providing transport for residents.” Dr Harrison said the council provided a chaperone on the bus to ensure safe transportation for elderly residents travelling from their home to the centre each week. “The centre provides a place where senior residents can socialise and stay connected with the community,” he said. “For many, it’s the one chance they get to be out and about that week.” People can call Ararat Senior Citizens Club secretary Janet Murphy on 5352 4246 for information about becoming involved in the centre.

Great show

he northern Grampians wine village of Great Western again came alive for the Australia Day weekend, with the township serving up a range of activities for residents and visitors.

A display of Linfox trucks was among highlights of a show and shine street party on Saturday morning. Categories included best truck; best classic car, pre1995; best vintage car, pre-1970; best classic motorcycle, pre-1995; best sport motorcycle; best original – unrestored – vehicle; best hot rod; and people’s choice. Authorities closed off a section of the highway for the event, which included children’s activities. On Sunday, crowds flocked to the town’s racecourse for the annual Seppelt Great Western Cup day. Soaring temperatures did not deter racegoers from enjoying a day out at the popular meeting. Patch Adams, trained by Aaron Purcell and ridden by Harry Coffey, enjoyed a narrow win in the feature event. • Pictured admiring some of the vehicles on display are, clockwise from above: Adam Jackman and Phil Green; Lizzy and Matt Kilmartin with their children, Angus, 5, and Hamish, 2; judge Lachie Kilpatrick inspects Robert Briggs’ 1966 Ford Mustang; Vaughan Johnson with his 1980 Ford XD Falcon; and centre, Charree Tumney and Steph Arrowsmith cast their votes in the people’s choice category.

Harvest boosts buyer confidence W

BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera agriculture businesses expect a major multimedia event in early March coupled with a favourable grain-harvest season will compound buyer confidence and stimulate the region’s economy.

Businesses will join ACE Radio Broadcasters for a week-long event designed to fill a trading void left by the cancellation of this year’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event, AgLife Digital, will combine the network’s radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM, The Weekly Advertiser and online media patforms. Farm-industry businesses such as Horshambased Wimmera Mallee Ag and Traction Ag will run a series of ‘come-and-try’ days and promote products and services from March 1-5. The promotion will run at the same time the field days would normally run. Wimmera Mallee Ag business manager Jodie Eagle said a positive Wimmera 2020-21 wintercrop harvest season created increased buyer confidence from producers and farmers. “The harvest from last year has already really boosted sales. It’s a good sign things are going well,” she said. “All the farmers we’ve spoken to are pretty happy with the outcome from harvest.” Ms Eagle said she expected the AgLife Digital promotion would contribute to a more ‘personalised’ experience, where customers could trial machinery. “It will be a good opportunity to promote our products more one-on-one with our customer base. It’s something that needed to be done to fill the gap left by the field days,” she said. “We will be able to do more demonstrations with our customers, whereas at the field days you can’t demo mowers and start up augers.” Ms Eagle said the business had already seen a ‘significant’ benefit from transitioning to an online format. “You’ve got to be integrating multimedia platforms in your business, because everyone Wednesday, January 27, 2021

“It will be a good opportunity to promote our products more one-on-one with our customer base. It’s something that needed to be done to fill the gap left by the field days”

– Jodie Eagle

is on the iPads or phones these days,” she said. “We’ve noticed since we jumped on board with ACE Digital, our website brings in so many extra inquiries from as far as South Australia and NSW.” Service and sales specialist Glen Hobbs said since harvest had finished in late 2020, machinery inquiries and demand for services from farmers had ‘dramatically’ increased. “When there’s a good harvest, there’s more confidence in everything and at the minute we’re absolutely flat out,” he said. “We are seeing a flow-on effect from the harvest period.” Stawell Road business Traction Ag, which will also take part in the event, plans to run a series of ‘come-and-try’ days during the week. AG Co Australia national sales manager Steven Nankivell, who works with the business, said the AgLife Digital event would give the business an opportunity to promote its services and machinery face-to-face. “It’s just a matter of meeting real people,” he said. “When I worked in England, it was very easy to sit in head office and deal with people on the phone. “But to actually get out and deal with people face-to-face and know that we’re helping them by hopefully providing the best equipment and service in the industry – it just makes the whole thing rewarding, I just love it.” Mr Nankivell encouraged Wimmera farmers and producers to attend the business’s event on March 3 and 4. “We can expect a couple of really great days from Traction Ag,” he said. “Come in, see it, drive it and speak to the product experts.”

‘Cracking’ year for vigneron A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera winemaker has confidence 2021 is shaping up to be a ‘cracking’ year in wine production as his grape varieties start approaching a ripening process.

Norton Estate business owner Chris Spence is one of many grape growers in the region preparing for crush season, which he says is likely to start late February. Mr Spence said he expected quality and quantity of his grape varieties would be far better compared with last season, which he described as a ‘disastrous’ 2019-20 harvest. The family-owned winery grows cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc and shiraz varieties on a farm at Lower Norton, 15 kilometres southwest of Horsham. Mr Spence said a wet spring in 2020 coupled with mild summer temperatures was contributing to steady growth at his vineyard. “The season started off perfectly with a wet September and first half of October. We saw great growth in the vineyards, where the buds shot away really well,” he said. “The bunches seem to be forming really well and we’re actually two weeks ahead in development compared with last year. “But we haven’t quite seen any form of ripening as yet.”

CHEERS: Norton Estate business owners Sam and Chris Spence toast a positive year ahead, with quality and quantity of the estate’s grape varieties exceeding previous years. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Mr Spence said warm weather, like what the Wimmera experienced at the weekend, would likely hasten the ripening process. “We’re starting to see those warming spells so the ripening will likely happen very quickly, I’m predicting,” he said. “Relatively dry summers, cool nights and warm days make for perfect ripening weather.” Mr Spence said consistent high temperatures and low humidity contributed to poor yields in the last crush season. “Last season was a disaster for the whole southeast of Australia due to that December heat wave,” he said.

“This year we’ve had a cool summer and cool spring. This has allowed the vines to develop good bunches, berry sizes and hold good leaf. “We also had six weeks’ more rain, which has given the vines a massive boost in their fertility – it should be a cracking year this year.” Mr Spence said the winery was also preparing a rare American variety called Norton. Only one other winery in the country has Norton growing. He said the family planted the vines four years ago. Horticulturalist Daniel Norton first cultivated the variety in the 1820s in

Richmond, Virginia. “This variety didn’t make its way into many other countries due to being very difficult to propagate,” he said. “We’ve had 68 of these Norton vines growing for four years now, and they’ve proven themselves. “We’ve had to be very patient in waiting for the first vines to be propagated, then planting and training them up.” Mr Spence said the flavour shared qualities of European wine varieties. “It’s an American vine but it’s very European in its flavours – like a sangiovese but with the tannin base of a cabernet sauvignon,” he said.

Flystrike webinar 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Australian Wool Innovation will run a webinar called ‘It’s Fly Time!’ to help growers manage high-risk flystrike conditions. The webinar, at 1pm on Friday, will include tips for preventing flystrike, prioritising sheep for monitoring and treatment and options for when it does occur. There will also be fact sheets for further information and links available. Veterinarian and sheep consultant Dr Tim Gole will run the one-hour webinar. AWI research general manager Dr Jane Littlejohn said the webinar was timely and important. “Due to ongoing summer rain across many of Australia’s sheep regions, growers are experiencing a tough fly season. It is the worst season in at least five years,” she said. “This is a practical guide to flystrike prevention, monitoring and treatment, all which play key roles in flystrike management.” Dr Littlejohn emphasised proactive management of the problem was important for sheep welfare. People can find out registration details by visiting the Australian Wool Innovation Facebook page.

Minimise mice before sowing “Like” Us On Facebook

95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

igh-yielding crops across the region have pressed Agriculture Victoria to urge grain growers to reduce opportunities that promote a build-up of mice in the lead-up to sowing season.

Strong cropping seasons in parts of the Wimmera, southern Mallee and Western District during the past two years have created ideal circumstances for mice in some paddocks. Agriculture Victoria’s Heather Drendel said there had been reports across the WimmeraMallee of mouse activity in crops during harvest. “Growers should be monitoring paddocks for excess grain and for the presence of mice during summer to assess the risk in the lead-up to sowing time,” she said. CSIRO rodent research officer Steve Henry said farmers should bait six weeks before sowing in cases where there were significantly high num-

bers of mice. “It’s important to continue monitoring after baiting to determine if a second bait application is required after sowing,” he said. “Farmers should also talk to their bait suppliers early if they think they will need to apply bait at sowing. “It is also good to deplete residual grain from paddocks because baits might be less effective when mice have access to alternative food sources. “One tonne per hectare of grain equates to about 2000 grains per square metre. “In contrast, the bait is applied at only three grains per square metre. “Where possible, grazing stubble sufficiently and spraying volunteer crops can make a real difference to residual food stocks to mice.” Ms Drendel said if grazing stock, farmers should maintain a minimum of 50 percent ground cover to reduce the likelihood of soil loss to wind erosion.

She said 70 percent ground cover minimised the risk of water erosion. Hopetoun farmer Lucas Puckle baited half of his farm for mice in autumn 2020 following a good season in 2019. However, he observed mice at night in his barley, lentil and wheat crops during the recent harvest. “We had to harvest a crop of barley that had fallen over, with the header front almost on the ground,” he said. “In the morning I noticed 50 to 60 dead mice in the sieves.” Although grain losses at harvest were minimal for Mr Puckle, he intends to reduce feed availability to mice. “We’re trying to ‘sheep’ our paddocks to get rid of the feed and I am thinking they won’t breed up too much if there’s not too much feed on the ground,” he said. People seeking more information can visit website www.csiro.au/en/Research/ Farming-food/Invasive-pests/ Mouse-Census.

High-rain areas target Every locality has its own spectrum of weeds, and growers face different opportunities and challenges regarding the control tactics they can employ. A WeedSmart Big 6 approach is a practical way to ensure an integrated weed-management program can disrupt weed-seed production and the evolution of herbicide resistance. Jana Dixon has joined a WeedSmart team of extension agronomists, with a focus on applying the Big 6 to manage weeds in the high-rain cropping systems of southern Australia – from Esperance in WA to south-eastern South Australia, Tasmania and south-western Victoria. Ms Dixon is from the mid-north of South Australia and started working at Pinion Advisory while studying agriculture at the University of Adelaide. She has worked full-time at Pinion since January 2019 as an agribusiness consultant, based in Clare, and spends most of her time providing agronomy and farm-business advice to clients from a wide range of cropping regions in South Australia. Pinion Advisory is a foundation WeedSmart sponsor and Ms Dixon has already been involved in two WeedSmart Week events – the first as a participant and grower-group organiser at an event in Horsham in 2019. Program manager Lisa Mayer said Ms Dixon brought energy, commitment and insight. “Growers in the southern high-rain zones are facing some serious issues with herbicide resistance influencing their farming decisions,” she said. “Jana will be engaging with agronomists, growers and researchers to understand the

Jana Dixon complexities and look for practical ways to apply the WeedSmart Big 6 in various cropping scenarios.” Ms Dixon said she had spoken to many growers and agronomists who had found value in the information the WeedSmart provided. “For many it is as much about considering another operator’s philosophy on dealing with weeds, and taking a fresh look at their own systems, rather than just learning about a new tactic or the traits of a new herbicide in isolation from the big picture,” she said. WeedSmart is an industry voice providing science-backed weed control solutions with support from Grains Research and Development Corporation, major herbicide, machinery and seed companies, and university and government research partners. More information about managing herbicide resistance in weeds is available online at www. weedsmart.org.au.

As a result of the warm, wet summer we have been experiencing, the worms in our paddocks are thriving. Over the last couple of weeks, the inhouse worm egg counts we have been doing have shown some alarming worm burdens present. A few practical tips for drenching, and avoiding resistance are: •O nly use effective drenches on your farm — This is different for everyone! •U se a combination of drenches through the year. •O nly drench when you need to – use worm egg counts to help determine timing. •D rench any sheep being brought into the farm and hold them separate for 10 days. •R otate paddocks as worm larvae live in the soil. •C onduct drench resistance tests every few years. If you have any questions about worm egg counts or drench resistance tests, please contact Katie at Lake Bolac on 5350 2440.

Student uptake increases “Like” Us On Facebook

BY DYLAN DE JONG

n evolving agriculture industry and campus modernisation are among factors attributed to increasing interest in studying at Longerenong College.

More than 60 students have selected the Wimmera college as their study option this year to pursue a diploma or certificate in farm-related courses. Training manager Barry Ray, who has worked at the college for more than 25 years, said the college had gone through a technological revolution in recent years with new facilities such as a DATA farm. He said the gradual transition to information technology, IT, in agriculture as part of the college’s curriculum was attracting a wider breadth of students year-on-year. “Student uptake is significantly up on the past few years – that is really positive coming out of last year,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of support from State Government with some of our upgrades including our DATA farm development, our main teaching area will be upgraded this year to the tune of $2-million and later this year we will start building new accommodation to the tune of $6.5-million. “There’s also a really positive fu-

WELCOME: Longerenong College training manager Barry Ray is expecting a positive year at the college with student numbers on the rise. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER ture for agriculture and on the back of a good harvest season this year – all those factors seem to be contributing to the strength of our reputation and the numbers we’re seeing.” Mr Ray said course content was aiming to keep pace with an ‘ag-tech evolution’. “We’re trying to harness the changes that are happening with the agtech movement,” he said. “Tech development in the industry is really exciting for young people. They can see there’s a broad range of career outcomes.

“It’s not just production agriculture anymore. In ag tech you gain data and it feeds into management decisions. “For example, you could be using frost sensors to cut cereal crops for hay and identify exactly where the frost influence is coming from rather than waiting to see where the damage is – this is a way to feed into data to assist in those major decisions on farm.” Mr Ray said students were moving from across the state and interstate to study at the college.

“These students are coming from right across Victoria up into southern New South Wales and the eastern half of South Australia as well,” he said. “There is also a few students from Tasmania – our spread is very wide. “We welcome that geographic variety because it helps the students learn from each other about their own back yards and they can provide each other with a broad knowledge of agricultural practices.”

Kealy slams trespass delay Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has criticised the State Government for delays in introducing laws imposing on-the-spot fines for people who trespass on farms. She said the law had yet to come into effect despite the government agreeing to its introduction six months ago. “Laws to impose on-the-spot fines to better protect Lowan farmers against farm trespass still haven’t been drafted,” she said. “A parliamentary inquiry recommended on-the-spot fines be implemented as a solution to stop extreme animal activists breaking into farms, stealing livestock and damaging biosecurity. But more than six months since the Andrews government agreed to the recommendation, farmers are still waiting for change.” Ms Kealy said other states had already put similar laws in place so there was no excuse for Victoria’s delays. “Farmers deserve to feel safe in their own homes, but the current soft rules embolden extreme activists to break the law instead of deterring them,” she said. Ms Kealy said the impact of farm trespass had taken a heavy emotional toll on farming families. “These farms are not just a business for the families who live on them, they’re home,” she said. “No more excuses – the new agriculture minister must ensure these reforms are drafted and ready when State Parliament returns in February.”

Dollars flow after bumper season 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY DYLAN DE JONG

egional managers in charge of major Wimmera and southern Mallee grain receival sites believe a socio-economic boost will flow on to rural and regional communities in 2021 following recordbreaking results for farmers and producers.

Several Victorian GrainCorp sites recorded their best season, including Lillimur in the west Wimmera, taking 122,000 tonnes, while Natimuk broke its 2012-13 harvest record by 10,000 tonnes. The two sites were among 60 in New South Wales and Victoria to record their highest-ever total of receivals of wheat, barley, canola and other grains. The combined intake across harvest totalled more than 13-million tonnes compared with 12.6-million tonnes of receivals in 2016-17. Southern Mallee area manager Phil Duynhoven said economic benefits from the ‘bumper season’ were likely to flow onto communities across western Victoria. “On the back of a good season there’s a lot more money that flows through the community, especially for the small country towns,” he said. “Additionally, a good season generally results in more employment across the board.

REASON TO SMILE: GrainCorp grain handlers, from left, Tom Jones, Jacob Glare, Kyra Clarke and Jackson Cross at Natimuk celebrating the end of harvest in December 2020. “The last couple of years we’ve had additional staff on at all country sites, which has been a real positive for the community and helps to bring new people into the community.” Mr Duynhoven said timely rain and improved farm practices were

contributing to consecutively strong harvests. “We had fairly decent rain throughout the growing season last year and generally had the right weather conditions all the way through,” he said. “The farm practices are also contin-

ually improving, and we seem to be getting more yield with less rain year on year.” Wimmera area manager Gerard Bibby said practices such as direct drilling, where seed was placed in the ground without any prior soil cul-

tivation in the stubble of the previous crop, was one method contributing to high grain receivals. “Direct drilling is probably one of the biggest changes in the area. This helps to retain all the moisture in the ground,” he said. “High receivals in places like Natimuk could be attributed to rain just before harvest, which for the whole Wimmera, would have brought millions of dollars into the region – that last rain just topped us off perfectly.” Mr Bibby said crops such as canola, wheat and barley performed particularly well in the Wimmera. “Canola was well and truly above what was forecast in the Wimmera,” he said. “It varied around the Wimmera. Quite often you heard the six-tonneper-hectare mark for wheat and barley and around three tonnes for canola.” Operations general manager Nigel Lotz said the company’s focus had now turned toward exporting grain throughout the world. “The harvest not only reinvigorated many of our sites, it has also led to a strong export program out of our ports at Carrington and Port Kembla, in NSW, and Geelong and Portland, in Victoria,” he said. Mr Lotz said four ports were booked out until September 2021.

Look after your workmates

griculture Victoria district veterinary officer Dr Jeff Cave has urged people to take care to avoid exposing dogs travelling in the back of utes to heat stress on hot days.

Dr Cave said there was no argument that working dogs were a valuable and helpful asset to farmers and it stood to reason to take care of the animals. “While it is legal to allow appropriately restrained dogs to travel on the back of utes, dogs being left in the sun for long periods can quickly dehydrate or even die from heat stress,” he said. “Adequate shelter, for example a fixed canopy, needs to be provided to protect tethered dogs from extreme temperatures. “A lot of utes and tray backs these days are made of metal and will heat up quickly and could easily burn dogs’ paws.” New regulations introduced in Victoria in December 2019, require that when the temperature is 28 degrees or above that an area of insulating material be placed on the metal tray to protect the dog from the metal surface. “Ensure dogs kept in cages have adequate ventilation, particularly when the vehicle is not moving, and ensure all dogs are given regular access to cool water,” Dr Cave said. “Victoria’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act requires dogs travelling

in the back of utes, trailers or open tray trucks to be tethered or caged in a manner that prevents them from falling from the vehicle. The only exemption is when dogs are actively working livestock. “The tether should only be long enough to permit the dog to stand, lie down and move about but not so long that it could potentially let the dog fall off the vehicle and be dragged or strangled. “Tethering dogs should always be regarded as a temporary, short-term method of restraint. “In addition, it is an offence to leave

an animal unattended inside a motor vehicle when the outside temperature is 28 degrees or above, so be sure to make appropriate arrangements when you are travelling with animals.” Dr Cave said further advice was available from the RSPCA, veterinarians or Agriculture Victoria veterinary or animal health officers. Gerang Gerung kelpie breeder Katelynn Clark also stressed the need to keep the health of working dogs at the forefront of workplace consideration. “It is very important. Obviously they can be the main source of getting work done,” she said.

“It’s important to get them to the job and home safely. The time travelling to and from a job is very important because you just don’t know when accidents can happen. “Being secured in cages means they are fairly safe. If you end up with a rollover or something similar there are fewer possibilities of them suffering serious injuries or worse. “It might be only a five-minute drive, but who knows what can happen in that time. I love kelpies. Even if it’s not working stock – if you’re out fixing fences or whatever, they love being with you no matter what.”

Opportunity for exporters 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud is confident 2021 represents ‘a huge’ opportunity for agricultural, food and fisheries exporters as a range of tariff cuts and improved market access take effect. Mr Littleproud said market improvements would involve a range of commodities traded across America and Asia. He said further tariff reductions would be a major boost to an industry aim of achieving $100-billion in farmgate value by 2030. Mr Littleproud made the comments while reflecting on agreements, including an Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership, which he said allowed more than 99 percent of Australian goods exported to Indonesia to enter duty free or under improved and preferential arrangements. “Building on this, 2021 Tariff Rate Quotas have increased for live cattle, feed grain and citrus exports to Indonesia,” he said. “Tariffs on lamb and beef to Korea, some wine products and barley to Mexico and refined sugar to Canada will all fall in 2021, while exporters to Peru will benefit from tariff cuts on beef and sparkling wine as well as increased quotas for rice, dairy, sugar and sorghum.”

PREPAY PLUS

BY BRIAN WATTS

Just taking the value of assets used, the median dollar value in 2019 of farm assets under management was $10,787,000. That was 18 months ago. Asset values have not remained stable. Apart from the value of assets being managed, the huge cost of inputs, cropping decisions in light of more volatile climatic conditions, agronomic decisions, no longer a single desk when selling grain – the volatility of grain prices, grain storage decisions just to name a few – add up to a very complex business model. This vastly more complex nature of broadacre farming as opposed to those in earlier generations, coupled with the significant investment in farm assets, means farming is serious business. Most serious businesses monitor performance and returns on investment, especially when multiple owners have invested their ‘hard earned’, with responsibility for performance in the hands of a chief executive or business manager. Non-farm businesses will measure returns on investment or profitability by using key performance indicators, KPIs. Many factors affect a KPI. For example, customer satisfaction, average dollars spent by each customer, sales per worker and service standards impact on bottom line profit. In farming, there is a massive difference in performance across the Wimmera. How is this measured? Without going into great detail I will refer to three KPIs taken from our most recent completed Wimmera Farm Performance Report – both the median result and that for the top 20 percent

A beef about beef S

orry to burst the beef bubble. Yes, I’m about to put a pin to the beef bubble.

Hopefully it won’t make a really big bang as we’d all hate that. If you were lucky enough to sell cattle at the summer weaner sales, then hats off to you. If you were buying and ended up walking away empty handed, you’ve probably done the right thing. Thomas Elders market analyst Matt Dalgleish went through the numbers and farmers who bought steers weighing 365 kilograms will make a loss when the cattle are turned off in 10 months if they sell for much less than 400 cents a kilogram. Buying the lighter weaners at 250kg is still likely to be profitable. Last week the eastern young cattle indicator broke all records at 874 cents a kilogram. That puts our beef cattle at 20 percent higher than the United States, and double the prices in Argentina and Brazil, our major competitors. We export more than half of what we produce so it’s glaringly obvious that, ‘something’s gotta give’. At the moment, it’s the meat processors who are taking heavy losses. Beef-industry analyst Simon Quilty thinks not all processors can ride out the beef tsunami. “In today’s market, Australian meat processors who are trying to buy grass-fed cows and steers and sell around the world are experiencing losses of $250 to $350 per head,” he said. “These types of losses are often part of the beef cycle, but given where cattle prices are at, they are unsustainable and if prolonged will see permanent plant closures.” If that doesn’t worry you much, be prepared to get your knickers in a twist over this one. Victoria is now the only state in Australia that hasn’t

Because the Andrews government is so gun shy about quarantining after the tragic COVID second wave, it hasn’t been able make a decision, until now. You can be forgiven for not noticing that Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes, who was flying under the radar on the issue, was surreptitiously promoted to Attorney-General just three days before Christmas. The new minister, who I admit I’ve never spoken to, is former teacher and unionist Mary-Ann Thomas. Whether she’s grasped the nettle, or if the anger from farmers with her government over allowing elite tennis players from countries still struck down by the pandemic into the country, it’s not clear, but late last Friday – the best time to make an announcement when you don’t want to garner too much attention – Victoria announced it had struck a deal with Tasmania for 1500 Pacific Islanders to quarantine on the Apple Isle for two weeks before crossing Bass Strait, while Tasmanians flying home from overseas would quarantine in Melbourne hotels. All well and good in theory, but agriculture is still short 25,000 workers and this band-aid move is little more than an insulting token.

Farmers back on the run BY DYLAN DE JONG

devastating fire that ripped through South Australian farmland prompted Wimmera and Lime Coast farmers to donate vital fodder to communities in need.

Wimmera farmers joined Mount Gambier Hay Runners in the immediate aftermath of fires that tore through Lucindale and Avenue Range to deliver more than 3000 bales of hay earlier this month. The blaze ripped through more than 15,000 hectares, killing livestock and destroying buildings. After catching word of a potential run, Green Lake grain farmer Daniel Mibus immediately stepped into action and joined a convoy of 12 trucks from the Wimmera to contribute to the cause. Mr Mibus said the empathy he felt for farmers who lost livestock and farmland compelled him to join the fleet. “We only had a few days to organise this run – the fire burned through on the Monday and by Saturday we were running trucks over with hay,” he said. “The Mount Gambier Hay Run guys and Lucindale Lions Club did a fantastic job helping us get

the hay off and we were in and out fairly quick.” Mr Mibus said he was ‘devastated’ when he saw the impacts the fire had on the farmland. “There was quite a lot of livestock lost and some farmers over there lost 100 percent of their grazing pastures, so they had nothing to feed their stock,” he said. “It was quite emotional because there were kids sitting on the outskirts of town holding up signs saying ‘thank you’. “It was really rewarding to be able to help these people out.” In a normal year, Mr Mibus would be returning home to the Wimmera after a big journey up north for the Australia Day Burrumbuttock Hay Run – an event where farmers deliver fodder to farmers in drought-stricken areas across the country. Last year 40 trucks from across western Victoria and South Australia transported thousands of bales of hay to farmers in droughtaffected Armidale in New South Wales. Mr Mibus said this would be the first time in 15 years the hay run was cancelled. Event organisers cancelled the run earlier this month due to the

COVID-19 pandemic and complications around cross-border travel. “It’s been running for a fair while and there’s been a lot of trips. This is the first year in a while this couldn’t go ahead,” Mr Mibus said. “You might see these guys who go on the hay run once or twice a year, but you always have a good trip doing it and getting the hay to the farmers on the other end is the icing on cake for us.” Mr Mibus said he would continue to support the event if it went ahead next year. “Unless it happens to you, you would never know what it feels like to be affected by drought or fire,” he said. “I don’t know how I would react in the situation, because I haven’t been in it. “But while we can, we’ll help them out because we never know when that might happen to us.”

Helping out mates 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

Australian charity Rural Aid used Australia Day to launch its 2021 money-raising efforts. Rural Aid chief executive John Warlters said there was no better day or way to launch a ‘Mates Helping Mates’ campaign, than Australia Day. “Part of what makes Australia great is the way Aussies dig deep to help one another,” he said. “Rural Aid is asking the rest of the country to help a mate by making a donation in support of our hard-working farmers. “We all have a connection to the land, be it directly through a family member, or indirectly as a consumer of the world-class produce that comes from our farms. A donation to Rural Aid is a helping hand to a farmer.” Mr Warlters said money donated to Mates Helping Mates would help strengthen rural communities, as part of Rural Aid’s Stronger Futures program with its focus on mental wellbeing and community sustainability. “The campaign is a chance to acknowledge the vital role our farmers play by donating to Rural Aid, so we can continue to support our mates on the land,” he said. People can make donations online at www.ruralaid.org.au/ mates-helping-mates.

Call out to help shape Victoria’s biosecurity “Like” Us On Facebook

95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

immera, Mallee and Grampians people and organisations can help shape Victoria’s biosecurity practices through an online survey.

Agriculture Victoria’s Understanding Victoria’s Biosecurity System Survey seeks to understand attitudes and knowledge of the state’s biosecurity system to improve how it prepares for and meets future biosecurity challenges. Biosecurity Services executive director Katherine Clift said biosecurity played a big role in protecting the state’s economy, environment and way of life. She encouraged farmers, businesses, industry groups and community members to contribute to the survey. “The agriculture sector contributes more than $14-billion to the Victorian economy, supporting essential food supply both here in Australia and overseas, and providing thousands of jobs,” she said. “In 2020, six farms tested positive for three different strains of avian influenza in Victoria. This was the largest avian influenza outbreak recorded in Australia and the most significant biosecurity event in Victoria for the past 20 years,

highlighting the importance of a strong biosecurity system. Timely, effective response is critical to rapid eradication of the disease, minimising the impacts on the poultry industry and maintaining the trust and confidence of consumers and trading partners.” Throughout the past 20 years, Australia has responded to biosecurity incursions, including Varroa mite, citrus canker and equine influenza as well as prepared for threats such as foot and mouth disease and African swine fever, all of which can have a significant economic effect. “Managing biosecurity risks is increasingly challenging, as international and interstate migration, climate change, tourism and increased movement of goods all contribute to the risk of new incursions,” Dr Clift said. She said government, industry and community needed to work together to prepare for, and respond to, current and future biosecurity risks. “Everyone has a part to play in protecting Victoria from the impacts of pests and diseases,” she said. “You can contribute to biosecurity by seeking advice when you see something unusual and reporting it, implementing good biosecurity measures in your

business or on your property, working with your community to manage pests such as gorse, Queensland fruit fly or rabbits and practising good hygiene while travelling. “These simple steps can help protect yourself and those around you, and keep our beautiful bush and bountiful farmland free from pests and diseases. “Taking part in the survey lets you have your say on issues ranging from potential biosecurity threats and impacts, to where you like to get your information from and what could be improved.” The survey results will be published online and will inform the development of future biosecurity policies. “Your participation in the survey will help identify how we strengthen Victoria’s biosecurity system,” Dr Clift said. This survey is part of the State Government’s $143-million investment into Strengthening Victoria’s Biosecurity System as part of the 2019-20 budget. Dr Clift said the online survey took about 15 minutes to complete and closed on February 11. People can complete the survey online at wmsr.com.au/agvic and visit agriculture.vic.gov.au/svbs-program for more information.

Jane Lovell

New era of leadership Wimmera-Mallee farmers and producers can expect to see a fresh face at the helm of peak farming representative body Victorian Famers Federation. Jane Lovell will join a new era of leadership in the organisation from mid-February when she is inaugurated as the new chief executive. Ms Lovell said she was determined to use her leadership position to highlight the critical need to promote agriculture as a key industry supporting the Australian economy. “We have some real challenges ahead to promote and secure the critical role farming has in our communities and for our state,” she said. “I look forward to getting out and connecting with our members to better understand their priori-

ties and concerns, and to working with the VFF team to provide a strong, united voice for Victorian farmers.” Federation president Emma Germano, who was elected late last year, said Ms Lovell would join the VFF with significant experience after working in several leadership positions in representative organisations such as Seafood Industry Australia. “Jane will bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role and I look forward to working with her in continuing to move the VFF forward,” she said. “This external appointment will help to ensure the VFF is a contemporary organisation that represents today’s Victorian farming sector.”

People carrier Honda revamps Odyssey for 2021

onda Australia has welcomed in the new year by revealing its updated new Odyssey wagoncum-people mover, which not only sees the usual array of cosmetic, equipment and safety upgrades but a revamped line-up too.

Once again made up of just two variants, the updated Odyssey range opens from $44,250 plus on-road costs for the Vi L7, marking an entry-price increase of more than $5000 compared with the previous model. It is a similar story with the higherspecced Vi LX7, which costs $2410 more than the VTi-L it replaces. For the extra outlay, customers are treated to a heap more standard equipment, especially on the base model which now comes with Apple CarPlay-Android Auto, an 8.0-inch infotainment screen, heated front seats,

leather upholstery, keyless entry and push-button start, redesigned steering wheel, 7.0-inch driver’s display, captain’s chairs in the second row, power sliding rear doors and LED head and foglights. The captain’s chair second row might boost comfort and up the luxury feel, however it does obviously reduce the Odyssey’s carrying capacity from eight to seven, which could ultimately bring the big wagon into competition with some of Australia’s most popular SUVs while simultaneously losing ground – or passengers – on the Kia Carnival. The second-row seats themselves do, however, feature adjustable armrests, recline and long-slide functionality. Safety on the Vi L7 has also been drastically stepped up thanks to the addition of the Honda Sensing safety and driver-assist suite, which in this

case consists of forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking system, lane departure warning, lane keep assist system, road departure mitigation system and adaptive cruise control. Rear cross-traffic alert and a blind spot information system have also been added to the mix, joining established features like brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, emergency stop signal, hill start assist, traction control, vehicle stability assist and tyre deflation warning. Building on the Vi L7’s already generous spec, the Vi LX7 adds a handsfree power tailgate with kick sensor, gesture control power sliding doors, driver memory seats and second-row ambient footwell lighting. When it comes to model differentiation, it should not prove difficult to spot the new model out on the road

or alongside its predecessor thanks to a completely redesigned front end headlined by the new LED head and foglight arrangement lifted straight off the Accord sedan, not the mention to the new hexagonal grille and protruding underbite style front bumper. It is a similar story at the back where we find a redesigned rear apron featuring sharper contours and some chrome reflectors, while new 17-inch alloy wheels change things up along the side. One thing that has not changed on the new model is the powertrain, which has been carried over as is from the previous model with power still coming courtesy of the familiar 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine which sends all of its 129kW-225Nm to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission. Honda Australia product, customer

and communications general manager Robert Thorp said the MY21 Odyssey offered ‘more comfort, convenience and innovative technology features than ever before’. “Odyssey has been the undisputed leader in the people mover private market for nine consecutive years,” he said. “When it came time to purchase a new vehicle to transport their family, since 2012 more private buyers have chosen the Honda Odyssey than any other people mover.” According to last month’s round of VFacts data, Honda shifted 1091 Odysseys in 2020, accounting for a solid 16.1 percent of the sub-$60,000 people mover segment behind the aforementioned Kia Carnival, 53.9 percent. – Callum Hunter

Kia launches Stonic light SUV

everal years after launching in Europe, Kia Motors Australia has finally launched its Stonic light SUV with the Riobased high-rider checking in from $22,990 driveaway.

Pegged by KMAu as a direct rival for the Mazda CX-3 and Hyundai Venue, the Stonic will be available in three different trim levels with three different powertrains offered depending on the variant, all featuring 352 litres of boot space. At the bottom of the range is the S, available with the choice of either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic, the latter of which carries a $1000 price premium over the stick shifter, $23,990 drive away. Both options are paired to a naturally aspirated 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine developing 74kW of power and 133Nm of torque. In manual guise, KMAu claims this engine will consume between 6.0 and 6.7 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle while emitting 155g of CO2 per kilometre. The standard equipment list of the S forms the foundation for the rest of the range to build on, consisting of 15-inch steel wheels, an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay-Android Auto and multidevice Bluetooth connectivity, sixspeaker stereo system, a 4.2-inch TFT driver’s display, cruise control, automatic headlights, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, cloth upholstery and halogen daytime running lights.

HIGH-RIDER: Measuring in 4140mm long, 1760mm ride and 1520mm tall including roof rails, the Stonic rides on a 2580mm wheelbase and boasts between 165mm and 183mm of ground clearance. Safety gear on the base model meanwhile consists of autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, forward collision warning, driver attention alert, lane following assist and six airbags. On the subject of safety, KMAu is marketing the Stonic as having the same 2017-issued five-star safety rating as its Rio cousin rather than submitting the car for testing under the latest 2020 testing protocols. Mr Rivero said a similar strategy was employed in Europe by the local arm of Kia Motors. Moving up the range, the mid-level Sport is available with the same choice of either a manual or automatic transmission as the S and it relies on

the same 1.4-litre engine for propulsion. Standard equipment is naturally improved over the base model, with extra niceties including 17-inch alloy wheels, power folding mirrors, premium steering wheel and shifter, push button start, illuminated sun visor and satellite navigation, however the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are downgraded to wired connections only. At the top of the range resides the GT-Line, which not only serves as the flagship of the range but is also touted by KMAu managing director Damien Meredith to be the volume seller. Priced from $29,990 driveaway, the GT-Line adds a wealth of extra good-

ies compared with the S and the Sport including unique 17-inch alloys, GTLine body package, stop-start system, LED head, fog and daytime running lights, two-tone paint or a sunroof, faux leather trimmed seats, auto-dimming rearview mirror, rain sensing wipers, climate control and privacy glass. The extra outlay will also net buyers a gutsier engine with power in the flagship coming from a turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder mill developing 74kW-172Nm. Drive is sent to the front wheels just like in the other variants, however this time it is via a seven-speed dualclutch automatic transmission. Not only is there an extra 39Nm on

tap, KMAu says the force-fed threebanger boasts superior fuel economy and emissions figures of 5.7L-100km and 125g-km respectively. The Stonic’s suspension and chassis tune has been optimised for Australian road conditions, with the bulk of the work reportedly being complete before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Mr Meredith said the Stonic was launching Down Under at a ‘very important time of growth’ for the brand, entering a segment which grew 14.5 percent last year while the market as a whole fell by 13.5 percent. “When Stonic was first mooted we had a close look at it and made the decision that Seltos made a more attractive proposition for the Australian market, a decision backed by the fact that at the time, there was limited Stonic supply available for Australia,” he said. “With Seltos firmly established and very importantly, a significant increase in Stonic supply to accommodate our sales expectations, there is a much more compelling case for this sporty urban crossover with all the safety, value, style and practicality at the core of Kia’s DNA.” Mr Meredith said he was expecting some sales cannibalisation between the Stonic and the Rio given the latter had evolved more into a ‘fleet-type car’, while the bulk of Stonic sales would be private purchases with its driveaway pricing being permanent. – Callum Hunter

No Jeep Grand Wagoneer for Aus

eep has officially confirmed the Grand Cherokee will be the biggest vehicle the brand offers Down Under when it arrives later in the year, with global president Christian Meunier confirming the eight-seat Grand Wagoneer would not be coming to Australia.

Describing the new Grand Cherokee as already being a ‘pretty substantial, pretty big’ vehicle, Mr Meunier said the three-row version in particular would cater to at least some of the market the Grand Wagoneer would

have occupied. “For now it’s off the table and I think we will focus on the three-row Grand Cherokee,” he said. First teased in August last year before being revealed on September 3 in final concept form, the Grand Wagoneer will be a full-sized SUV designed to take on established highriding luxury players like the Lexus LX, Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz GLS, while simultaneously poaching sales away from other American rigs including the Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Suburban. Now, however, following the con-

firmation the Grand Cherokee will remain the brand’s flagship model Down Under, Mr Meunier said a good deal of the development work was being carried out in Australia to ensure it was as competent as possible. Jeep Australia sold 2870 Grand Cherokees last year, accounting for 3.1 percent of the sub-$70,000 large SUV segment, placing it a long way off the sales pace of the segment-leading Prado which chalked up 18,034 sales. – Callum Hunter

Mercedes-Benz debuts its baby EQ

ercedes-Benz officially opened the next chapter of its EQ electric vehicle portfolio last week, revealing the new EQA compact SUV at a virtual media event with the green high-rider set to arrive in Australia about the middle of this year.

NEW ARRIVAL: Mercedes-Benz’s EQA electric SUV is expected in Australia by mid-year. models will follow this design language – featuring a full-width fibreoptic strip connecting the daytime running lights, a feature replicated between the tail-lights at the rear. Eighteen-inch aerodynamically optimised multi-spoke alloy wheels are the other obvious giveaways, as is the low-mounted rear badging underneath the tail-light strip. Being an EV, the EQA is inevitably heavier than the GLA, with the EQA250 tipping the scales at 2040kg,

almost half a tonne more than the base GLA200. Boot space is also lacking compared with the GLA due to the packaging of the battery pack beneath the floor, even with an extra 53mm in overall length. Not a dedicated performance model, Mercedes claims the EQA250 will go from 0-100kmh in 8.9 seconds and top out at 160kmh with its battery able to be charged back up again from 10 percent to full in five hours and 45

minutes when using an 11kW wall box or public charging station. Using a DC fast charger on the other hand will charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 30 minutes. Like the exterior, the EQA’s cabin has been given a subtle EV-flavoured workover to help make it stand out from the regular GLA range, with rose gold trim elements and highlights complementing the finish of the unique alloy wheels. All of the usual Mercedes features

While pricing and specifications are yet to be confirmed, Mercedes has announced the first EQA to come to market will be the mid-spec 250 variant developing 140kW of power and 375Nm of torque courtesy of a 66.5kWh battery with a claimed range of up to 486km on the New European Driving Cycle. No other variants have been detailed as yet, however the brand is promising more to come, including ‘a series’ of 200kW-plus all-wheel-drive offerings featuring a dual-motor set-up as well as at least one long-range version capable of more than 500km on a single charge. Visually, the EQA closely resembles the basic styling and proportions of its petrol-powered GLA cousin, measuring 4463mm long, 1834mm wide and 1620mm tall with a 2729mm wheelbase. While maintaining the same basic form, it is the finer details that set the EV apart from the fuel-burner by its EQC-inspired front fascia – all EQ

are present within the interior including the signature twin-screen – either 7.0-inch or 10.25-inch – set-up with the MBUX infotainment system and unique blue-rose-gold EV displays, which now sit within a dedicated cut out within the dash. Other global standard equipment highlights include a leather multifunction sports steering wheel, LED headlights with adaptive high beam, power tailgate, 64-colour ambient lighting, luxury seats with four-way adjustable lumbar support, reversing camera and satellite navigation with an ‘electric intelligence system’, which essentially optimises the route guidance in relation to the battery’s residual charge levels and factors in charging locations if needed. Range-wide safety features consist of active brake assist and active lane keeping assist while the compact platform has been specially modified and strengthened to cater for the electric powertrain and all of the relevant safety requirements. Mercedes-Benz Cars AustraliaPacific sold 29,455 new vehicles last year, 3173 of which were GLAs, while the electric EQC contributed 194 deliveries. – Callum Hunter

Dad and I had some great times. I always looked up to him. When I moved into my own place he was sad to see me go, but always called around to see if I was okay. He was the kind of guy who always offered advice, but never expected me to take it. I knew Dad wouldn’t be around forever, and the day I expected to be sad turned out to be a true celebration of his life I’ll cherish forever. I’m so glad I have someone who cared to organise it.

...WE’RE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Christian Devotions

Finding our alignment

We take our vehicles for alignment so they are safe and work well. Some people go to the Chiropractor for alignment of their spines and to get things back in working order. We go to Medical Practitioners for a ‘check up’ to keep ourselves in good working order. We need to check in to make sure we are ok and that we have balance in our lives. To ask the questions, “Who Am I?” What gives me meaning and purpose in life?” “How can I be the best that I can be?” Taking time out to reflect, review and renew helps us to realign. When our lives are focused on being busy, we find excuses not to do this; but one thing we can learn from 2020, is that busy isn’t better. Instead, time can be used to help us focus to be better, and being comfortable with who we are and confident on our life path is more important than being busy. Being busy takes us away from people and relationships. We can use busyness as an excuse not to engage. Stopping and reflecting, listening to God at work in the world, in our lives and through the Bible, helps us to realign and to go forward in faith, hope and love. Then we know who we are, why we are here and what to do. Blessings for 2021. Susan Pearse - Uniting Church

Team shines in Ballarat T

BY TONY LOGAN

he Horsham training team of Aaron Dunn and Stephen Blacker enjoyed a night of nights at Ballarat on Saturday, celebrating a stable double on the huge card of group and metropolitan-class racing. Dunn’s five-year-old gelding Shady Azz cruised to a soft victory in the opening event on the program after finding the coveted one-out-one-back position in the early stages of the 2200-metre journey. At the 700-metre mark, Dunn eased three-wide to challenge the leader Celestial Stride – James Herbertson. A slick quarter in 28.1 seconds quickly put the rest of the field to the sword and saw Shady Azz enter the home straight with a handy lead. At the post the combo held a 3.2-metre margin with the chasers just as tired as the winner after a hot tempo and rate of 1:55.9. Shady Azz boasts a record of seven wins, six minors and $47,210 from 28

starts and is likely to line up on Monday for the $25,000 Tontine Pacing Championship. Later in the night Blacker’s former New Zealander Rollova proved too quick for his rivals in a heat of the Mercury80 over the 1200-metre sprint trip and qualified for the $50,000 final at Tabcorp Park on February 6. Rollova also enjoyed a one-one trail through the first 900 metres of the dash then sprinted quickly to overhaul the $1.30 favourite Carlas Mach – Alan McDonough – halfway down the home straight. With Dunn sitting quietly in the cart Rollova went on to score by five metres in the gross time of 83.1 seconds. In addition to the healthy stakemoney on offer for The Mercury80 final, there’s $20,000 in bonus cash if the winner can break the magical 80-second mark. Since crossing the ditch 12 months ago, Rollova has notched up six wins and five minors from 21 starts for the Dunn-Blacker camp.

Stawell

Former Queensland mare Tic Tact took out the opening event at Stawell in a great result for local trainer Chris Blake, driver Grant Campbell and owners, the McLean, Bennett and Blake families. In addition to the winner’s share of the purse, Tic Tact also earned a $1500 cash bonus for connections courtesy of the Victorian Harness Racing Club and a $500 cash bonus for Blake as trainer. It was Tic Tact’s first victory since landing in Stawell, with her only previous success being at Redcliffe in January 2020.

Ararat

The Ararat club is set to stage its $30,000 pacing cup and $20,000 trotters cup under the lights at R.T. White Raceway on February 12. The public will be able to attend with appropriate COVID-19 protocols in place. People interested in attending should call club secretary Trudy Ryan on 0421 550 774.

‘Superstar’ Manning hits 4000 career wins Dunn, in race eight to win from Image of Starzzz and Jackierabbit. World-renowned as a pioneer for women in harness racing and horse-racing in general, she is the world’s first female driver to reach the 4000-win milestone.

Great Western’s superstar reinswoman Kerryn Manning clinched a unique milestone during Stawell Harness Racing Club’s meeting yesterday. Manning secured her 4000th career win as a driver when she steered $2.40 Glenavril King, owned by Barry and Yvonne

Sport

Members of the harnessracing fraternity were quick to congratulate Manning for the achievement, which has involved her racing across Australia and around the world. A beaming Manning said after the win that she was both excited and, based on expec-

tation, relieved to reach the milestone. “It was a bit of a relief to finally get there, to knock it on the head – and certainly very fitting to do it on my favourite home track of Stawell on a horse that I trained,” she said.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Diving back into action BY DYLAN DE JONG

Horsham swimming team has named captains for 2021 in the lead up to a return to regional competitions at the weekend.

Captain Tulley Norton, 15, and vice-captain Tom Urquhart, 13, will lead Horsham Sharks Swimming Club as they prepare for 2020-21 Wimmera District 12 swimming competition to restart. Tulley said she was excited to take on the role and assist her peers to perform their best. “I feel privileged to be captain of the Sharks this year,” she said. “I am looking forward to helping all of our swimmers have a heap of fun and do the best they can this season.” Tom said he hoped the season could continue as normal after many community sports were cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “I am very honoured to be a vice-captain in a club I love so hard and am heavily involved in,” he said. “I hope this year will be a better year for swimming than 2020.” The captains will join swimmers across the region for a Stingray Open Classic event at Horsham Aquatic Centre at the weekend.

FRESH LEADERSHIP: Horsham Sharks Swimming Club captain Tulley Norton, left, and vicecaptain Tom Urquhart. Horsham club president Deidre Harrington said each club in the region would have a turn at running the swim meet each year after Stawell Swimming Club, which normally runs the event, closed due to a lack of volunteers. “We rely heavily on volunteers, who are mostly parents. All clubs

are always looking for volunteers – they are the backbone of community sport,” she said. “This seems to be the same for football, netball, hockey and most sports across our region, especially after the pandemic. “However, this weekend Horsham is fortunate enough to be

able to run the classic on Saturday – this will be an opportunity for each of the Wimmera clubs annually.” Ms Harrington said swimmers would compete at Ararat, St Arnaud and Warracknabeal before regional championships on February 27.

Tennis returns Central Wimmera Tennis Association teams will return to the court at the weekend as the competition resumes following a Christmas-new year break. Five rounds remain of the home-and-away season, with teams in all four grades vying for finals spots. Drung South is sitting pretty atop the pennant ladder, undefeated after 11 rounds. Horsham Lawn, trailing by 14 points in second spot, will have another chance to topple the benchmark side on Saturday. The teams will go head to head on the Drung South courts. Kalkee and St Michaels, third and fourth respectively, will lock horns at Kalkee. The Kees must win to retain third position, with the Saints snapping at their heels only two points in arrears. Central Park and Homers have both endured tough seasons and will be out for their second win for 202021 when they clash at Central Park. While Natimuk and Telangatuk East lead the pack in A Special, there is still plenty of room for movement in the next few weeks as teams look to cement a spot in the top four. Brimpaen and Noradjuha will battle it out for third spot, with Horsham Lawn Massey likely to jump Haven into fifth spot based on match-ups. In A Grade, fifth-placed Central Park will look to upset fourth-placed Haven to stay in touch with the top four. St Michaels is a clear premiership favourite in the division, dropping only one game for the season and holding a 12-point lead. While the top three looks set in B Grade, Haven is still in with a chance to make finals but will need to outperform fourth-placed Horsham Lawn. Pennant ladder: Drung South 44 points, Horsham Lawn 30, Kalkee 24, St Michaels 22, Central Park 6, Homers 6.

Horsham squash season to start

immera footballers and netballers concerned about fitness levels after COVID-19 lockdowns are turning to alternative sports such as squash in 2021.

Horsham Squash Club acting president Tim Hopper said the club’s summer competition started next month and there had already been inquiries from footballers, basketballers and netballers wanting to gain an edge in fitness. “I guess there is still a bit of uncertainty around some sports and difficulties with training programs at the moment,” he said. “We are definitely starting competition on February 17 and there is no better sport in the world for getting you to peak fitness. “Our clubrooms can hold well over 200 people under physical-distancing laws, so there is no problem with abiding by the rules.” Horsham premiership footballer Brodie Mines returned to squash at the start of 2020 to improve his fitness and speed for a footy season that never happened. “I played as a junior 10 years ago and I wanted to get that edge again,” Mines said. “I wanted to get quicker and fitter for footy season, so I’m back for another comp this year. “I recommend any footballer to

come and try squash. It improves your speed, agility and your eye coordination. “If you play the summer competition starting mid-February, you’ll get a full season in before the footy starts.” Former Horsham District Football Netball League premiership player Jake Hobbs, who devotes his tal-

ents to Horsham Hornets basketball, said amid uncertainty about when he would be playing competitive basketball again, he was looking forward to his second squash competition. “I played last year to help my running and agility and I really loved the game,” he said. “It keeps me fit and it’s fun to play.

“There’s a lot of good, friendly people at the club so it’s a great social event, especially at the Wednesday night pennant competition.” Noradjuha-Quantong netballer Kira Davies said the short, quick running in squash helped with her leg strength and was ideal preparation for her netball season.

“What I love about squash is you can be any level of ability to play and enjoy it and you can play night or day, all year round because the weather doesn’t matter,” she said. “It’s like tennis only better because it’s more active and the ball doesn’t leave the court – and it is more social.” Mr Hopper said squash ranked as the world’s number-one healthiest sport based on calorie burn, cardio endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and injury risk. “We have been working hard to prepare and we’ve made a few changes to improve the enjoyment for everyone,” he said. “We have new LED lighting on all six courts and climate control for player comfort. “We also have introduced more ball variations to help beginners and juniors get a more enjoyable game.” Mr Hopper said everyone was welcome to attend a free come-and-try night on February 3 before entries for the summer competition closed the following day. • Horsham Squash Club is on McPherson Street, Horsham, opposite Horsham Showground. A free come-and-try night starts at 6.30pm on Wednesday and is open to everyone with all levels of ability.

BY ONE SHORT

aturday’s play in Grampians Cricket Association featured an improved effort from Pomonal, but not enough to win out against Youth Club, while Buangor-Tatyoon got over the line to win against St Andrews.

Batting first, Youth Club scored 4-150 against Pomonal with Jarrod Illig, 54, getting his first half-century for the season. Opener Trent Homden also scored a half-century, while the best of the Tigers bowlers was Lachy Green with 2-29. The Tigers replied with 94, largely on the back of Matt Peel, 40, and 21 from Green. The Tigers’ batting effort was hampered by five ducks. Clinton Slorach took the bowling honours for the winners with 5-6, which included a hat-trick. At Tatyoon in an interesting match, Buangor-Tatyoon edged out St Andrews by virtue of an unbeaten 56-run partnership between Michael Harricks and Zander McDougall. The efforts of Harricks and McDougall took the score from a precarious 5-69 to a winning 5-125. Having been invited to bat, the Saints managed to bat for all

but one ball to reach 114, Adam Haslett, 20, and Ethan Summers, 25, the best bats. Wickets were shared between the Hawks bowlers. This weekend, Swifts-Great Western will play Pomonal at Stawell’s Central Park while St Andrews hosts Youth Club at Alexandra Oval in Ararat. Buangor-Tatyoon has a bye. All eyes will be on Alexandra Oval where the winner will ensure a finals berth and the loser having to fight for fourth spot. There is no favourite in this match so each team will have to bring its ‘A’ game to succeed. Saints will look to Adam Haslett and Sam and Ethan Summers with the bat and James Hosking with the ball to overcome Clubbers all-rounders Nic Baird, Clinton Slorach, Cam Kimber and Jarrod Illig. In the other match, Pomonal will be attempting the upset of the season by defeating Swifts-Great Western. This is not impossible, but Tigers players Clinton Mackley, Matt Peel, Lachy Green and Lynden Brewis must perform at their best to worry the top team. Swifts-Great Western might have had the bye last weekend, but on

Sunday they took on old rivals, South Gambier, in the SunGold T20 competition in Warrnambool. As winners of the Grampians association Gunstone Cup they qualified to represent Grampians in the competition. This high-profile cup competition offers $15,000 to the winner with minor prizes of $2500 to qualifying and semi-final winners. Batting first in its preliminary game, the Combine reached 6-132 off its 20 overs and then dismissed South Gambier for 92 to set up a semi-final against Pigeon Ponds from Hamilton. This match, along with the final, was scheduled for yesterday. Best of the Combine’s batsmen in the early game were Travis Nicholson, 41, and Matt Heffer, 32, while Charlie Nield took bowling honours with 4-5 from three overs. Results: Buangor-Tatyoon 5-125 (M. Harricks 40no) d St Andrews 114 (E. Summers 25), Youth Club 5-150 (J. Illig 54, T. Homden 52) d Pomonal 94 (M. Peel 40; C. Slorach 5-6 including hat-trick, N. Baird 3-21). Ladder: Swifts-Great Western 30 points, 3.07 percent; Buangor-Tatyoon 27, 1.43; Youth Club 18, 0.79; St Andrews 12, 0.69; Pomonal 9, 0.38.

Pigeons on the hunt in T20 round H

BY DEAN LAWSON

omers will attempt to reel in a Toolondo-Clear Lake pacesetting run to the finals when Horsham Cricket Association A Grade teams complete a trifecta of T20 matches on Saturday.

The perennial yardstick Pigeons are tracking behind the competition leader and have a chance to place a stick in the Bullants’ spokes at Horsham Sunnyside. Homers cantered to victory over disappointing Horsham Saints last week and will be hungry to test themselves against a side firming as a flag favourite. The Pigeons whipped through a Saints line-up for 69 last week, Mohan Bandara, 3-17, leading the attack, and then made the runs in 14 overs for the loss of only two wickets. Homers captain and opener Adam Atwood top-scored with an unbeaten 32 and Jett Hopper, 17, and Nathan Koenig, 16, also made runs. Noradjuha-Toolondo, meanwhile, made a significant statement by clinching victory over a strong West Wimmera at Horsham City Oval, hitting 6-155 and then having the visitors 4-142 at stumps. All-rounder Tony Caccaviello shone for the winners, making 60 from 35 balls, sharing in the runs with Matt Combe 36, and Josh Beddison, 16.

HITTING OUT: Horsham Saints’ Josh Hedt swings freely during a Horsham Cricket Association T20 match against Homers at Coughlin Park in Horsham. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER He was also part of a miserly attack that restricted West Wimmera, which had run-makers in Brad Alexander, 37, Mitch Dahlenburgh, 26, and Henry Smith, who made a whirlwind 38 in an effort to chase down the runs. West Wimmera will have a chance to bounce back this week at Nhill against unpredictable Jung Tigers, which forced its way back into the

season’s overall top four with victory over Rupanyup-Minyip. The Tigers, led by skipper Angus Adams, 55, and Brenton Hallam, 51, hit 5-130 at Horsham Community Oval and then restricted the Blue Panthers to 7-107, Daniel Schaper, 31, Blake Turner, 22 not out, and Brent Hudson, 19, primary run-scorers. The run-out of Hudson was a key

wicket in the match, which has left the Tigers unbeaten on top of a T20 ladder. The Tigers beat West Wimmera the last time the teams met, guaranteeing a fascinating clash of wills this weekend. Rupanyup-Minyip will follow results with interest as it attempts to regroup, against Horsham Saints at

Coughlin Park in Horsham. The Blue Panthers are firm favourites to win the game but much will depend on how the home side approaches the clash. Big news for the Saints this week was former clubman Josh Carroll making his senior-11 debut for Richmond in Victorian Premier Cricket in Melbourne. This week: T20 games, Saturday, 1pm start, Horsham Saints v Rupanyup-Minyip at Coughlin Park, Horsham, West Wimmera v Jung Tigers, Davis Park, Nhill, Homers v Noradjuha-Toolondo, Horsham Sunnyside. Last week: Jung Tigers 5-130 (A. Adams 55, B. Hallam 51) d Rupanyup-Minyip 7-107 (D. Schaper 31), Noradjuha-Toolondo 6-155 (T. Caccaviello 60, M. Combe 36) d West Wimmera 4-142 (H. Smith 38no, B. Alexander 37, M. Dahlenburg 26), Homers 2-71 (A. Atwood 32no) d Horsham Saints 69 (M. Bandara 3-17). Ladders – Overall: Noradjuha-Toolondo 42 points, 1.11 percent; Homers 33, 1.59; West Wimmera 30, 1.24; Jung Tigers 30, 0.95; Rupanyup-Minyip 24, 1.01; Horsham Saints 3, 0.42. T20: Jung Tigers 12, 1.46; Noradjuha-Toolondo 12, 0.93; Homers 6, 2.12; West Wimmera 6, 1.04; Rupanyup-Minyip 0, 0.65; Horsham Saints 0, 0.48.
