Water project bid H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham district might soon have access to a greater supply of recycled water if a $10million project can win government funding.

A proposed recycled-water project to ‘future proof’ Horsham as a national agricultural research hub would have broad trade-off community benefits.

GWMWater is awaiting word on a government funding application for a Horsham Agriculture Smartwater

and Integrated Water Management Project.

The redevelopment plan involves creation of infrastructure and adoption of technology to overcome salinity and turbidity issues in Horsham municipal wastewater to create higherquality irrigation supply.

The use of Horsham wastewater is a key part of Agriculture Victoria research activities at Horsham’s agricultural SmartFarm and Grains Innovation Park.

A funding application has gone to National Water Grid via the State Gov-

ernment, which is pursuing matching Federal Government support.

GWMWater expects to know by mid-August if it is successful and has expectations the system would be complete within two years.

The water-recycling project would shore up supply for research and development underway out of Grains Innovation Park.

Agriculture Victoria uses Horsham wastewater to irrigate 190 hectares for crop trials on the research farm.

If the funding application is successful, the project would provide a

reliable source of high-quality water for grain and pulse industry research.

It would also provide a major boost to irrigation supply and management opportunities for industry and community socio-economic assets and activities.

GWMWater stores Horsham’s treated water in a dam at Vectis, west of the city. Improving quality of the water and its subsequent use would also ease volume issues at the site.

Under the planned system, wastewater would flow through a new dissolved air-floatation plant at Hor-

sham wastewater treatment facility to reduce the turbidity before being piped through existing infrastructure to a reverse osmosis plant at Horsham SmartFarm.

The reverse-osmosis plant would convert a portion of the received wastewater into high-quality water suitable to spray irrigate field trials at the SmartFarm.

New additional storage would hold the better-quality water.

A storage facility for brine would also be part of the development.

Survey calls for clearer message A

BY DEAN LAWSON

snap survey to gauge community sentiment about a proposed western Victorian healthservice merger has revealed a desire for greater clarity about the proposal.

That’s the assessment of Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership leaders who have been sifting through more than 350 survey responses.

Partnership chairman David Jochinke said the ‘temperature check’ survey had revealed a broad range of views.

But an over-arching message was a need for more in-depth information.

“It is not surprising that we have had a broad spectrum of views with extremes each way from the positive to concerns,” he said.

“But it is clear most people sit in a

category of not knowing enough to form any strong opinion.

“There is sense in the survey that the community is looking for leadership around guidance based on more concise information.

“People have revealed a vested interest in knowing what is happening involving the largest and most important service provider in the region. There remains an absolute thirst for clarity.”

The regional partnership, working with Wimmera Development Association, organised the survey in response to Wimmera Health Care Group, Stawell Regional Health, Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital and Ballarat Health Services board decision to merge their organisations.

The Wimmera Southern Mallee Health Services Community Pulse

2021 survey, at https://sprw.io/sttdd9a91, continues until the end of the month.

Mr Jochinke said he hoped to present survey ‘themes’ in a discussion with Wimmera municipal leaders and representatives from boards proposing the merger later this week.

He has already called for a business case underpinning the merger be available for public scrutiny.

“There is a series of themes we’ve identified but the real issue is there is also a theme of trust. It seems people need information about any proposal to be fully laid out on a table before they can trust the position,” he said.

“There is skepticism on merger delivery and implementation and questions about why a local solution hasn’t been sought.

do is pose questions and use our position to help the community. That is the charter and time is of the essence.”

Themes identified so far in the snap survey are: Lack of trust based on lack of detail and from history of departmental service loss in the region; fear the Wimmera will lose voice in a power shift to Ballarat and implications of this beyond health services; lack of detail in how a merger will improve services; how aged care fits into the mix; lack of detail in how a new body will attract skilled professionals to the region; lack of information about potential ‘local’ impact on each community involved; potential impact on other Wimmera health services; accept a need to plan modern health services for the region and need for long-term strategic planning.

Water bid

HAPPY TO BE BACK: Hugh, 9, and Luke, 12, Miller are among students who have returned to face-to-face learning today as part of an easing of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions across the state. As well as schools opening, people no longer need to stay at home or stay within a five-kilometre travel limit and movement between metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria is unrestricted.

People must wear face coverings indoors and outdoors unless at home, and private gatherings in a home, apart from intimate partners or single bubbles, are banned.

Public gatherings are permitted for up to 10 people and restrictions on ceremonies, religious gatherings, funerals and weddings while easing, still apply. Physical recreation and sport can occur with patron caps and under specific guidelines and community sport, including competition and training, is open for all ages without spectators.

Various facilities can open with a density quotient of one person per four square metres with maximum indoor limits, most of which are 100 people indoors and 300 outdoors, with groups limited to 10. All retail, health and beauty and hospitality businesses can open, again with limits and rules, and accommodation businesses can open but bookings are only for single households, intimate partners or single bubbles.

Care facilities and hospitals are open, based on a list of specific reasons, for visitors. Fore more, see page 11 or visit theweeklyadvertiser. com.au for a full list of restrictions.

“I’m confident there would be many answers to questions being posed in the business case. I’m keen for that to be released to generate understanding of the process.”

Mr Jochinke confirmed a mix in survey-respondent sentiment in health-service provision.

“We might have about 15 percent saying they will support anything other than what we have now, five percent saying ‘get on with it’ and another 20 percent saying ‘over our dead bodies’,” he said.

“I think what it’s showing us so far is that there is a fair distance to go in getting a clear message from the community about what they want. It does, however, demonstrate a desire for service provision to evolve.

“As a regional partnership all we can

From page 1 New infrastructure would include automated irrigation systems, a complex network of piping with pumping station and a three-phase power substation.

The proposal includes infrastructure to bring recycled water into Horsham to irrigate green areas and parkland that rely on potable water. A project scope includes pipeline infrastructure to Lower Norton, opening the door for expanded viticulture southwest of Horsham.

If successful, the project will be the first multimillion-dollar project centring on Horsham water treatment in many years.

The State Government also confirmed the Horsham project was part of an overall $20-million Federal Government application for a package of water infrastructure projects to ‘improve regional water security and deliver jobs and growth’.

It said in a statement via its media department: “Improving the quality of water from the Horsham Treatment Plant would allow Agriculture Victoria, along with other businesses who use the research farm, to expand areas that can be irrigated and carry out research on a more diverse range of crop types, particularly during times of low rainfall.”

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said the project would be of considerable benefit to Horsham district.

“Access to more high-quality water creates choice where agriculture and business can explore more opportunities,” he said.

“For regional development to occur we need abundant energy, we need people and housing, and we need options with water.

“This would create circumstances that are attractive to investors. All food processing requires water and for us to grow we need to double the amount of food processing in the region.

“We process only one percent of agricultural output in the region. Increasing that to only two percent would present huge economic and regional benefits.”

Community puts shoulder to wheel H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham councillors have spoken enthusiastically about high level and passionate community engagement before adopting a long-term direction plan.

All spoke glowingly at a meeting on Monday night of the process that led to them unanimously voting to support a Horsham Rural City Community Vision.

The community vision is designed to help provide direction for municipal decisions for the next 20 years.

A declaration in the vision is that ‘In 2041, Horsham region is a vibrant, liveable hub that thrives on strong economic growth and social connectedness. Empowering people to live, work and access opportunities for recreation and culture, now and into the future’.

A heavily patronised independent community panel used community feedback and engagement during the first six months of 2021 to develop the plan.

The community vision supports other strategic documents including a council plan, health and wellbeing plan, asset plan and long-term financial plan.

Cr Claudia Haenel led the council in reflecting on delight and enthusiasm surrounding engagement involved in developing the plan.

She said the process, which attracted the interest of 90 people to be part of the panel, had strongly promoted ideals of transparency, accountability, openness and fairness.

“Wow! I cannot say enough about this positive and immersive processive process between council and community,” she said.

Cr Haenel said she could not think of better themes that underpinned the vision – sustainability, livability, accessibility and community.

“This is the start of an exciting future, led by an exciting vision.”

Other councillors echoed the sentiments, Cr David Bowe saying the document reflected community diversity.

“It clearly outlines community values and sets out a long-term vision and recommendations that makes our community an even better place to work, live and play for the next 20 years,” he said.

The council invited every household across the municipality to participate in the community panel, attracting more than 90 expressions of interest.

An independent consultancy firm selected 36 participants based on assurances of an even representation of demographics.

Participant numbers reduced to 26 following Victoria’s June COVID lockdown, which forced a rescheduling of meetings.

The panel managed to host its faceto-face sessions over three Sundays from June 20 to July 4 at Horsham Town Hall.

Wider public engagement to gather community feedback, under the banner ‘Horsham Talks’ occurred between February and May. This involved online engagement, face-to-face ‘pop-up’ sessions, surveys and community feedback. It attracted 937 responses.

Cr Ian Ross made a point of the volunteer effort involved in the plan.

“I think it will give clear direction forward. It’s a wonderful document,” he said.

Cr Penny Flynn said the vigilance of panel members during challeng-

Dedicated to the land The trials and tribulations of a Wimmera man working on the land across Australia in a career spanning more than a century is the focus of new book ‘Strike Me Roan!’.

Retired stockman Richard Morphett, of Nhill, spent more than 28 years documenting his life and recalling stories from when he worked on sheep and cattle properties in South Australia, the Northern Territory and Victoria to write the book.

Morphett uses tales of mateship combined with humour to encapsulate the Australian ‘can do’ spirit and recall a way of life that has changed significantly.

In 1950 as a teenager, Morphett spent his formative years working on his father’s cattle station in Australia’s ‘Red Centre’ or Alice Springs.

In his working life, he met some great outback characters and larrikins, and many other pioneering men and women.

The book further expands on a time when Aboriginal stockmen taught him the art of the outback, their lingo and how to survive off the land and bushfoods.

Morphett said he particularly enjoyed the process of making the book, when memories came flooding back to him while he sat down to write it all down.

“I’m in my 70s and nearly 80 now, and I astounded myself writing this book,” he said.

“Once my brain clicked into gear I absolutely amazed myself being able to remember things that happened 65 years ago.”

Morphett is planning an official book launch at Horsham’s Redrock Books and Gallery in August.

He said he was forced to postpone the launch earlier this month due to Victoria’s fifth STOCKMAN TALES: Nhill’s Richard Morphett is planning an official launch of his COVID-19 lockdown. book ‘Strike Me Roan!’ at Redrock Books and Gallery in August.

ing circumstances through COVID-19 demonstrated commitment and Crs Di Bell and Les Power were also glowing in praise.

Cr Bell, reflecting on a final vision presentation to councillors on July 4: “I could feel the passion in the room and the commitment... I found it quite exciting.”

Cr Power: “Its fantastic. I’d like to think when we do community panels again people will take an interest in what we’re trying to achieve. Council needs all the support it can get and I encourage everyone young and old to be involved.”

Mayor Robyn Gulline thanked the 937 people who provided information for the vision.

“At the end of the day it is all about community,” she said The plan went to the council unchanged for adoption.

Third time lucky for fair Horsham College Chaplaincy Book Fair will finally get underway on Friday after confirmation of Victoria coming out of a COVID-19 lockdown.

Organisers have had to twice postpone the event, initially in May and then earlier this month, because of the pandemic.

Committee chair Yolande Grosser confirmed the fair, which raises money to support Horsham College chaplaincy and student-wellbeing services, would feature about 10,000 books for $1 each and children’s books and magazines for 50 cents.

She said the fair would again offer bargains, similar to other years, and operate under COVID-19 rules.

“We have it all set up ready to roll in Maroske Hall in Dimboola Road with books sitting there for customers to have a browse,” she said.

“It’s an event that encourages reading, gets books to people who need them and raises money for chaplaincy.”

The book fair is from noon on Friday and ends at noon, Saturday.

Foley: Backing a key to merger

W

estern Victorian health-service boards pushing for a four-way merger will need to convince Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley the move has strong community backing.

Mr Foley made it clear in a letter to health-board chairs in May that voluntary mergers could only proceed with government support ‘only where extensive community consultation and due diligence has occurred and there is clear community benefit and backing’.

A proposal between Wimmera Health Care Group, Stawell Regional Health, Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital and Ballarat Health Services to merge and create a ‘Grampians’ health services has polarised public opinion.

Leaders of respective boards have spoken strongly about how a merger would improve regional health services and outlined how their decision had come from consultation and due-diligence activities.

But thousands of people have signed a petition against a move involving Wimmera and Ballarat services.

West Wimmera Health Service and Rural Northwest Health are not part of the merger proposal.

Mr Foley’s letter, dated May 21, was based on development of Health Service Partnerships in meeting state priorities.

Here is the letter – With Victoria having recently marked a full year since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the community, I am writing to all board chairs on the future of the ‘cluster’ model developed as part of the pandemic response, and to set out my key priorities for the coming year.

First however, I would like to express my gratitude for all the work your health service has done for Victorians over the past year – the most turbulent in recent memory.

It is no small thing to steer a health service through a pandemic, and I would like to congratulate your organisation on the way it has risen to the challenge of doing so, while continuing to deliver world class care for your community all the while.

The pandemic impacted our system in challenging new ways, bringing to the fore the difficulty our health services in Victoria can face in tackling systemic problems while working in isolation. It also highlighted how much more resilient our system is when we work together.

We saw examples of this emerging during the pandemic – with health services increasingly supporting each other through ICU planning and load-balancing, aged-care outbreak responses and staff furloughs.

This collaboration provides the foundations of a new and better way of working in the future.

The deep connections health services have with their local communities have already given Victoria one of the strongest health systems in Australia; collaborative connections between health services on pressing strategic priorities showed how our system could become stronger still.

To this end, health-service collaboration will remain an enduring feature of the Victorian health system.

Recognising the many competing uses of this term, the name ‘cluster’ will be retired and replaced by Health Service Partnerships.

All health services will be expected to fully participate in their Health Service Partnerships in the years to come.

The Health Service Partnerships model preserves the local autonomy and responsibility of health services.

There will be no changes to the existing roles and reporting lines of health-service chief executives and

their boards, which will remain independent entities.

Health services will continue to retain responsibility for their performance against Statements of Priorities, including management of budget and finances, along with clinical service delivery and clinical governance.

There will be no change to the process for health services undertaking amalgamations, which will remain wholly voluntary processes instigated and led by health services, proceeding with government support only where extensive community consultation and due diligence has occurred and there is clear community benefit and backing.

While preserving local autonomy, the Health Service Partnerships model will require health services to work together on the system priorities that are too large or complex to be solved as quickly or well by health services working in isolation.

In 2021-22 this will include: • Ongoing co-ordination and leadership of our pandemic response, continuing to build on both the successes and lessons of 2020; • Improving elective surgery and emergency care access as we recover from the pandemic, including delivery

of the Victorian government’s $300million Elective Surgery Blitz; • Implementing the Victorian government’s $120.9-million Better at Home initiative, giving more Victorians the opportunity to receive their hospital care at home; • Supporting the implementation of relevant recommendations from the historic Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.

Health Service Partnerships will of course have full discretion to choose other local priorities and I am pleased to hear that a number of partnerships are already progressing these.

In addition to the above project funding, each Health Service Partnership will be provided with transitional funding to support their establishment over the next several years.

I am pleased to announce the Victorian government has committed $12.31-million from 2021-22 to support the establishment of Health Service Partnerships, including $965,255 for each partnership in 2021-22.

Nursing home overlooked

HEADING NORTH: Horsham’s Steph Thomson is the winner of a $10,000 travel voucher in The Weekly Advertiser, 3WM and MIXX FM’s The Great Australian Travel Dream promotion. She won the prize from a field of almost 2000 entrants. ACE Radio Horsham announcer Kaycee Bould and program manager Adam Roche called Ms Thomson to let her know the good news last week. Ms Thomson said she was planning a trip to Australia’s north to visit family in Gove, in the Northern Territory’s Arnhem Land. Ms Thomson will have 18 months to use the prize. The promotion involved participants entering the competition while shopping at participating stores across the Wimmera. More than 60 businesses took part in the promotion.

Playing as a team T

here is a basic understanding people should be aware of as Victoria tentatively emerges from the latest COVID-19 lockdown today.

If we want to be able to experience what many of us would consider normal or usual day-to-day life we must, as a society, work as a team.

It is a well-worn plea, but with all the debilitating jabs and punches the pandemic is throwing, there is no place for defiant individualism if we want to beat this curse.

We’re experiencing perhaps the best example of why a champion team will always beat a team of champions.

We need to work as a champion team and we do a pretty good job of it, especially in the regions, when there’s a common purpose – in this case a return to everyday life.

It seems counter-intuitive considering democratic society promotes individual thought.

But the truth is, being a rebellious in-

dividual and thumbing an ignorant nose at an indiscriminate virus has no place in this fight.

Displays of community protest are usually an accepted part of Australian life and culture but in this circumstance, it is considerably different.

Anti-lockdown protesters in Melbourne last week, be they frustrated, angry, hurt, arrogant reality deniers or rent-a-protester, were determined to make a point.

They instead, whether inadvertently or on purpose, told Victorians making all sorts of sacrifices ‘where to go’, with obviously little regard for consequences of potentially spreading the virus.

This sort of behaviour is by no means exercising basic human rights as some

claim. It is instead as much selfish and seriously counter-productive as it is stupid.

Health professionals study for years to have an understanding of diseases and disease management.

Under pressure from peer review and community accountability, they apply that knowledge in establishing frameworks and boundaries.

While we can always question political motivations, we must in this environment at least, have faith in the science.

Importantly, the person we can have most influence over is ourselves.

Premier Daniel Andrews said in announcing an easing of lockdown situation yesterday that Victorians should be proud that they had seen off two outbreaks of the Delta strain of the virus.

But he was quick to add, “At the same time we have to remain vigilant.”

The message, again and again, is that we’re a big team and everyone needs to contribute for us to have success.

SIR, – I want to fly the flag for the nursing home that is within the grounds of Wimmera Base Hospital in Horsham.

The building has been there for countless years, and mostly remains in its original state. It is home to many elderly and some younger residents.

Disappointingly, Wimmera Nursing Home has been ignored andor overlooked in discussions regarding a proposed hospital merger.

When it comes to health-care management of the nursing home it seems to be out of sight, out of mind.

Wimmera Nursing Home is old and antiquated in stark comparison to the main body of the hospital.

I appreciate much of the hospital is also in need of expansion and upgrading but over the years most of the buildings, if not all areas, have either been rebuilt or renovated, keeping it up to some reasonable standard. The nursing home is continually overlooked, only getting a lick of paint and minimal alterations.

Most resident rooms, furniture and en-suites remain as they were when they were built many years ago.

Working in a nursing home for all staff is already enormously challenging, both mentally and physically, let alone working in a facility that is outdated and where a lot of the equipment is limited.

Building a new nursing home has been overdue for years. We need a purpose-built facility accommodating our elderly, dementia patients, and for younger residents who might find themselves needing care.

Wimmera Health Care Group’s board has not put any proposal forward regarding the future direction of the nursing home. I think it sits buried in its too-hard basket. The plight, direction and the condition of the nursing home needs immediate focus and the community as a whole needs to be aware of what’s happening.

If the proposed amalgamation is successful, the board must acknowledge that Horsham and district has an ageing population. A new purpose-built aged-care facility must be part of this amalgamation. Despite what the hospital boards involved are suggesting, the absence of any real detail being released regarding the merger is of concern to most people on the streets.

Network pools ideas, advice B

BY DYLAN DE JONG

etter understanding the diverse needs of Wimmera workforces is a major focus of a development group’s business network.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness is encouraging businesses to join a human resources network, which is providing educational material to help organisations improve their workplaces.

Mr Sounness said the network, comprised of more than 60 businesses across the Wimmera-southern Mallee, met four times a year to share business ideas and HR advice.

“We’re keen to support employers across the region with access to the best quality advice,” he said.

“Being part of a great region to work in is making sure organisations can best manage their workplaces.

“We want to be able to provide that leading edge of information to the Wimmerasouthern Mallee people.”

Mr Sounness said all business sectors across the region, such as health, education, agriculture and manufacturing, were welcome to attend.

“We’re aiming to invite all organisations with more than 10 people who have a need for HR support to get involved,” he said.

He said helping employers navigate the challenges of running a business and managing staff throughout the COVID-19 pandemic was a focus of the meetings.

“The last meeting we had was looking at COVID-safe workplaces, staff and performance management when people have been working remotely,” he said.

“This included how to provide support and management, give employees feedback and making sure the workplace was safe.

“We also looked at how to best support the Federal Government’s vaccine rollout – what can you do and what can’t you do legally as an employer?”

Mr Sounness said understanding mental health, especially during the pandemic, was also a key part of the network’s discussions.

“How do you actually support and supervise staff when some might be at home or at the workplace?” he said.

“And how do you create that sense of team and support and have your finger on the pulse to understand how staff are adjusting so they can achieve their best?”

Mr Sounness said another key focus of the meeting was learning how to attract and retain staff in the region.

“We’re also looking at how we can bring in more people to the region and to make sure our workplaces are ready for an influx of people,” he said.

“We need to make sure we have support to retain staff and have a great time when they move here because their workplace is meeting their needs.”

People can call Mr Sounness on 0409 559 364 or email chris@wda.org.au for more information about the network.

Students relish book challenge Horsham Ss Michael and John’s grade-six students relished an opportunity to become published authors by participating in a Write a Book in a Day competition.

The school has participated in the ‘fun, creative and collaborative’ project for several years, with teams given 12 hours to write and illustrate a book from start to finish.

Teacher Jess Martin said the Horsham students were split into two teams, with each given unique parameters to include in their story.

“They also both had five random words they needed to include. The words are generated and are usually the favourite subjects of a cancer patient.”

“They stuck to a schedule and they worked really hard, designating roles and sticking to them to get done what they needed to get done.”

Miss Martin said each student would receive a digital copy of their book.

Digital copies are also made available on the competition’s online library and shared with hospitals throughout Australia.

SATISFIED: Horsham Rural City mayor Robyn Gulline with a copy of the council’s annual Community Satisfaction Survey.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Results show improvement

A

nnual Community Satisfaction Survey results show Horsham Rural City Council has improved across all core measures in the past 12 months.

An independent research company ran the random telephone survey of 400 Horsham residents aligned with a demographic profile.

Chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the council scored an overall index score of 54.

“This score is nine points up on last year’s result and, although it remains below the statewide average of 61, it is a very encouraging result,” he said.

“An increase in satisfaction with consultation and engagement from 41 to 48 was particularly significant because it has been a priority area for us, based on feedback from previous surveys.

“The best-performing core measures were customer service ,with a score of 68 compared with 61 last year, and a newly added category for waste management scored 70.

“The overall council direction and sealed lo-

cal roads continue to be our lowest performing areas. But, encouragingly, they were better than the previous year, with overall council direction up by 12 points and sealed roads up by eight.”

The survey also asked respondents to name sealed Horsham district roads that were not up to standard.

Of the 187 roads named, 62 percent were under the control of Regional Roads Victoria and 33 percent were council roads.

The council roads attracting most mentions were Albert Street and Brimpaen-Laharum Road.

Regional Roads Victoria roads most reported were Kalkee Road and Dooen Road.

Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline thanked residents who shared their opinions.

“Each year this survey helps let us know what residents think we are doing well and where we need to work harder,” she said.

“It gives us hard data that we can carry through into operational and policy decisions and budget allocations.”

The survey occurred in February and March.

Youth focus at Horsham gallery Horsham Regional Art Gallery will host a series of art and photography workshops for youth throughout August and September.

The gallery’s art club is encouraging youth aged 12 to 16 years to join workshops, where tutors and artists will help participants develop new art-making skills and gain confidence in their ability, during a six week program.

The club aims to connect with other young artists in an engaging space while discovering gallery exhibits.

The first half of the program will see participants dive into still-life compositions as part of a ‘Still Now’ exhibition, working across painting, sculpture and photography mediums.

In mid-August, the club will explore photography techniques using digital and non-digital devices while exploring contemporary Australian photography in a ‘Return to the Beginning’ exhibition.

People can book into the program, starting on August 4, online at horshamtownhall.com.au.

Some helpful tips for a Sprained Ankle

What can Chiropractic do for a sprained ankle? Sprained ankles are a common sports injury and I think I practically majored in them! So here’s a few tips to help from the resident chiropractor!

1) Rest.Ice.Compression. Elevation. Wait 48hrs and reassess.

2) If there is any bruising there is most probably a ligament tear or worse a chipped bone. That may require X-ray.

3) See a chiropractor. “So how can a chiropractor help?”

The chiropractor can assess the joint and let a person know how badly damaged it is.

A chiropractor will also assess the rest of the spine. We can offer rehabilitation exercises and assist in recovery.

Why does Chiropractic help? In 20+yrs experience, an ankle sprain doesn’t just affect the ankle. As the song goes“The ankle bone’s connected to the knee bone, the knee bone’s connected to the hip bone “ etc. Rebalancing the whole body gives a much better result. It gets the brain to talk better to the body. Where here to help, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. You can also book online at bowerschiropractic.com.au.

Vaccine call as restrictions ease H

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ealth experts in the Wimmera are urging residents to come forward for COVID-19 testing and consider all vaccine options as Victoria exits lockdown from today.

Grampians Sub-Hub COVID vaccine roll-out co-ordinator Genevieve Lilley, based at Wimmera Health Care Group, is encouraging Wimmera people to book in for an AstraZeneca vaccine if they are eligible, while Pfizer supply remains restricted to high-risk categories.

Her comments came early yesterday before Premier Daniel Andrews announced the state would exit lockdown from midnight last night after a reduction in community transmission of coronavirus.

The state recorded 10 cases of COVID-19 in a 24-hour period linked to known outbreaks of the virus early yesterday.

A range of restrictions have eased across the state, including in hospitality, retail, sport and entertainment.

Ms Lilley said vaccinations were the best protection against the health risks associated with COVID-19 and would be crucial while the highly infectious Delta variant was present in Australia.

She said while the risk of transmission was ever-present in the country, people should consider all vaccines, including AstraZeneca.

“We still have unrestricted AstraZeneca and we’re getting a lot of vaccine requests from people who don’t want that vaccine,” she said.

“We really want people to know that we do not have flexibility with the vaccine roll-out.

“We could get another incursion of the virus into Victoria, so anyone who is vulnerable should take whichever vaccine they are eligible for.”

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation, ATAGI, in a statement on Saturday, noted the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine were greater than the risk of rare side effects.

The advisory group stated earlier this year, Pfizer was preferred over AstraZeneca for those aged 16 to 59 years, due to health risks, including thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome cases in Australia and a reassessment of age-specific risks and benefits of vaccination.

“We can’t give Pfizer to people unless they have gone through the process of getting a referral from the specialist immunisation service,” Ms Lilley said.

“We want to reassure people AstraZeneca is a very effective vaccine and is safe, and with the Delta variant in Australia, we can’t keep deferring indefinitely while we have limited supply.”

Ms Lilley said the Pfizer vaccine would continue to be the dedicated vaccine for people in 1a and 1b categories while supply remained low.

“We’re still working on those priority groups and we don’t expect that to change for at least a few more weeks,” she said.

“We have still got quite a lot of health workers in the region unvaccinated and we’re trying to target them. In addition to them, there’s people

in police, working quarantine, people with disabilities and disability carers who we need to consider.”

Meanwhile, East Grampians Health Service, another sub-hub for the region, passed a milestone of administering 5000 vaccination doses yesterday.

Chief executive Andrew Freeman said this represented a positive step forward in the region’s vaccination program.

“That includes first and second doses of both AstraZeneca and Pfizer, which is a bit of a milestone for our vaccination clinic here at the health service,” he said.

Mr Freeman said the health service was administering between 250 and 350 Pfizer doses a week, but had capacity to vaccinate more.

“We’re prepping for when the volume and supply of Pfizer doses increases over the coming weeks so we can hopefully meet the demand of the community when it opens up to broader age groups,” he said.

“We expect we’ll have a flood of people under 40 wanting to get vaccinated.

“We have the capacity to vaccinate a lot more than we currently are, and we could certainly do with more supply.”

Restrictions update

Restrictions easing today also mean businesses and venues can reopen with capacity and density limits of one person per four square meters.

Live-music venues, dance classes and physical recreation facilities, including gyms, can open with density requirements.

Public gatherings will be allowed with up to 10 people, with infants under 12 months not included in the cap, but gatherings in the home are still not permitted. Funerals and weddings will be capped at 50 people.

Victoria will reinstate the rule ‘if you can work from home, you should work from home’.

Schools reopened for on-site learning to all students today.

There are no travel limits within the state and people can now book accommodation, but must be with household members, an intimate partner or single-bubble person.

Masks will continue to be required indoors and outdoors, except in private residences, unless an exemption applies.

People can visit theweeklyadvertiser.com.au for a full list of restrictions.

Wimmera projects in spotlight W

immera projects, organisations and leaders have won significant recognition in the 2021 Sustainable Communities – Tidy Towns Awards process, featuring among finalists in all categories.

Horsham and Dimboola are both in the running for the primary award, 2021 Tidy Town – against seven other finalists – along with a swag of category awards.

St Arnaud and District, Willaura and Barengi Gadjin Land Council projects are also in the running for category awards.

Horsham Tidy Towns Committee chairman David Eltringham said the rural city was in a strong position for success this year, with 11 finalists overall.

“As we are a finalist in nine of a possible 10 categories, we are well placed to have some recognition for both our programs and the wider Horsham community activity achievements in our city,” he said.

“The awards will be finally announced at an October function in Hastings, where the Horsham committee will be represented, together with other overall Tidy Towns award finalists.”

The Sustainable Communities – Tidy Towns Awards recognise, celebrate and share grassroots projects and positive actions taken by community groups, educational institutions, businesses and councils in rural and regional areas in Victoria.

Run by Keep Victoria Beautiful, the awards celebrate the critical role these projects and actions play in ‘fostering

The Wimmera has four finalists in a sustainable communities category, with Dimboola Bowling Club in the running for an upgrade project including synthetic greens.

Wimmera Cancer Centre, Horsham, founded by Wimmera-southern Mallee communities with state and federal government funding, is also in the running, as is Horsham Agricultural Society for Victoria’s first virtual agricultural show.

Horsham Rural City Council’s Public Art and Horsham Heritage Trail, which involves the decoration of a Powercor Box in Pynsent Street, artwork on walls in Jos Lane and a ‘BIN Spiration’ project, is also a finalist.

Horsham Tidy Towns Committee is

among finalists in an education category for its Facebook page.

The committee started the page to provide education and bring awareness to Tidy Towns’ ideals of a sustainable life.

Horsham Rural City Council is one of two finalists in an energy category, for its Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange roofing project.

The project provides significant energy and environmental benefits, including solar energy panels, water conservation, animal welfare and environmental safety.

Buloke and Northern Grampians Landcare Network, St Arnaud and District, is up for an environment gong for ‘connecting our communities with the environment’.

The network planted more than

20,000 trees in 2020 and completed a range of projects such as surveys on biodiversity, removing litter and engaging communities.

Hindmarsh Shire Council is a finalist in the same category for its Dimboola Visitor Node, a community space that will act as a refuge during summer months and provides a green link between the town’s business district and the Wimmera River.

Land restoration at Dimboola’s Snape Reserve also caught the eye of judges, as did Horsham-based Wimmera River Improvement Committee, for completing the sealing of Langlands Track.

Wimmera projects also feature in the heritage and culture award category, with Dimboola VRI winning praise for saving the town’s VRI hall after

it was set for demolition. The hall is now used for institute and community functions. Horsham Rural City Council’s ongoing maintenance and protection of an English elm plantation also received a nod in this award category.

Indigenous culture finalists include Dimboola’s Robyn Lauricella, who opened a language and cultural learning centre in the town, and Barengi Gadjin Land Council for its Dalki Garringa nursery redevelopment at Wail.

Horsham Tidy Towns Committee is among finalists in a litter category for 2021 Clean-up Australia Day efforts.

Dimboola Lions Club’s ‘recycling the Wimmera’ project and Horsham Tidy Towns Committee’s Coles car park project using recycled plastic are in the running for a waste award.

Kerry Clarke, of Dimboola, is among social wellbeing finalists for a COVID-safe Halloween activity.

Willaura Modern has won a nod in the same category for its ‘Sense of Place: a post COVID community recovery’ art project.

Horsham Agricultural Society is also a finalist in the category for its 150km Feast, showcasing regional food producers and wineries.

Society volunteer Bart Turgoose is a finalist for this year’s ‘young legend’ award.

The Horsham College student, 16, is involved in many community-based activities and is held in high regard in several Horsham associations.

“Our ideal would have been to reschedule the full event, but due to the logistical challenges of re-booking our adjudicator, accompanist and the venue, it just wasn’t possible,” she said.

“The committee has worked tirelessly to put together an event that would have been our biggest and most supported eisteddfod yet.”

Mrs Elbourne-Hobbs said many unknowns

surrounding restrictions coming out of lockdown made it difficult for groups involved in performance events to plan ahead.

She said rather than risk the event being cancelled again or having no audience, the committee had instead opted for an online event.

“We are planning to host an Eisteddfod Showcase on Sunday, August 8 for any competitors who wish to be involved,” she said.

“This will essentially be an online concert, which will be available to view by competitors and their families.

“While this isn’t the ideal, it’s something that we can do in lockdown to give competitors the chance to perform what they have been working on.”

Mallee included in childcare funding F

ederal Member for Mallee Anne Webster has welcomed the allocation of an additional $2.6-million to support childcare services across her electorate.

She said the money through the Federal Government’s Community Child Care Fund, would help meet the needs of families accessing services from 14 service providers.

“The funds will support services in Horsham, Donald, Mildura, St Arnaud, Nhill, Dimboola, Birchip, Merbein and Warracknabeal that might need support to keep operating, or to fund capital projects to improve services and increase the number of places available,” she said.

The fund is designed to help improve access to childcare and increase workforce participation in remote, regional and disadvantaged communities.

“This funding will help local childcare services improve access to quality care, particularly in more rural, remote and disadvantaged parts of Mallee,” Dr Webster said.

“It will be good for our local kids, good for our hard-working families and ultimately for our community.

“It will also have a positive economic benefit by allowing more local parents to get back into work or to take on additional hours if they choose.”

Education and Youth Minister Alan Tudge said more than 640 childcare services across Australia would share in more than $100-million through the program.

“The funds will support services in Horsham, Donald, Mildura, St Arnaud, Nhill, Dimboola, Birchip, Merbein and Warracknabeal that might need support to keep operating, or to fund capital projects to improve services and increase the number of places available” – Anne Webster

“We are committed to giving every Australian family access to quality childcare, regardless of where they live or their circumstances,” he said.

“In some remote areas, there might only be one or two childcare services operating and it is critical we keep these open and help improve and expand facilities so more kids can attend.

“This program also helps services to run initiatives that reduce barriers, which may otherwise prevent local kids from accessing care.”

Regional Education Minister Bridget McKenzie said the Community Child Care Fund would help ensure childcare continued to be available for many families in Mallee.

“These grants will have tangible benefits for childcare providers that will flow to local children and their families,” she said.

“It means more families in Mallee can take advantage of our child care subsidy if they choose to work, learn or volunteer.”

WHAT A RUSH: Horsham Rural City Council civil works co-ordinator Keith Emmerson is pictured at Horsham weir as water pours downstream in the Wimmera River. A series of cold fronts has left much of the region sodden and primed conditions for further inflows into waterways. Almost 900 megalitres a day was flowing down the river on Monday, which had reduced to 770 megalitres yesterday but Wimmera Catchment Management Authority expected water to flow over Horsham weir for the next fortnight. Expectations are that the water will flow beyond Dimboola.

More than a show

BY DYLAN DE JONG

G

litz, glam and most importantly fun are three key components drag performers Art Simone and Pashion Couture hope to bring to Horsham in the future.

The renowned Australian drag performers planned to be in the region on Friday last week, before Victoria’s extended COVID-19 lockdown forced Wimmera Pride Project to cancel its annual Pride Night event.

Despite the cancellation, the LGBTQI advocacy group was keen to rebook the performers when viable to bring a premier drag event to the Wimmera.

Simone, a runner-up in season one of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, said performing drag in Horsham was part of a bigger plan to create safe spaces for LGBTQI people in rural and regional Australia.

“When I first started doing drag, I was one of the rare drag queens that actually had their licence and knew how to drive – that opened me up to opportunities outside of the city,” she said.

“It allowed me to take drag to places I had never been before, where I realised how important it was for local communities.

“My big mission was to create safe spaces and be a part of events where people could come and truly be themselves.”

A sense of isolation living in regional Victoria is what led to one of Simone’s family members taking their own life.

Simone said their death was a big motivation for her to create safe spaces for LGBTQI people in regional and rural Victoria.

“They felt isolated in regional Victoria and didn’t feel comfortable to live as their authentic self,” she said.

“They felt so isolated and it was too much for them to go on. You can feel trapped when you’re not accepted, so it’s quite personal to me to go out there and create these spaces and have representation.”

Simone said she admired the work the pride project was doing to help LGBTQI people to feel comfortable living in the Wimmera.

“Having groups like Wim-

Head Chef

AUTHENTIC SELF: Wimmera Pride Project hopes to host Australian drag performers Art Simone, left, and Pashion Couture in Horsham. Picture: PETER FOSTER mera Pride Project around is so important to be able to connect these people,” she said.

Simone said her interest in drag started at just 15, when she convinced her mother she needed make-up to transform into characters from horror films.

“That’s how I managed to sneak wearing make-up without having to explain why, and it just sort of snowballed from there,” she laughed.

But she said while the aesthetics of make-up and horror films were major sources of inspiration for her, drag also gave her the ability to transform herself into another person.

“Drag for me is like my armour, it’s what gave me my secret identity so I could find that confidence and bring it into my life,” she said.

“I wasn’t happy with who I was in high school, so being able to change myself into someone else was really appealing to me.

“You chuck on make-up and you can become someone different and forget about your own life for a little bit. I really liked the escapism of it.”

It was not long before Simone built the courage to approach venues and started cutting her teeth in Melbourne’s drag scene.

Simone now has accolades as ‘Queen of Australia’, was Drag Performer of the Year for the past two years, and has played roles in Australian

feature films, theatrical shows, television programs and commercials.

“It didn’t just happen overnight, I’ve been working so hard over the past 10 years,” she said.

“If I was to go back and tell that 15-year-old boy that I’m going to be a drag queen it would be a shock to see the level and amount of stuff I’ve done and the joy I can bring to people.”

Helping others

Simone said she hoped her performances would encourage others to become comfortable with their authentic selves.

“When I first started drag it was self-indulgent and I was doing it to make me feel a certain way,” she said.

“I realised there was so much more I could do with my drag in helping other people.

“For people seeing me being so confident and true to myself, I hope that can ignite that in someone else.”

Pride project vice-chair Charee Smith said she hoped the group could attract Simone for future pride events.

“It goes without saying that we are keen on having Art and Pashion as a headline event for another pride event, whether that’s for next year’s Pride Night or maybe even a little sooner,” she said.

“She has been so gracious and our relationship with her will hopefully grow.”

Consideration for students

M

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has spoken of ‘pressure relief’ in a State Government decision to introduce special considerations for students studying in years 11 and 12.

Ms Kealy said she and her Coalition colleagues had advocated strongly for the considerations that would apply for Victorian Certificate of Education, VCE, Vocational, Education and Training, VET, and Victorian Certificate of Advanced Learning, VCAL, students working under COVID-19 lockdown conditions.

“After strong lobbying and support from students and educators across the Lowan region, the government announced the Consideration of Educational Disadvantage would be applied automatically to all VCE or scored VCE VET Unit 3-4 sequences in 2021 – as it was in 2020 – to make sure the disrupted school year does not unfairly impact student results,” she said.

“VCAL students will be able to apply individually for special consideration and a general achievement test due to take place next week has also been rescheduled, to August 12.”

Ms Kealy said the changes would take considerable pressure off students, their families and educators.

“While I firmly believe schools should be open in areas with no COVID-19 cases, this announcement will offer some relief for students, who have been feeling increasingly stressed about another year of inter-

CHANGING LIVES: Lydia Paech, 10, has donated 37 centimetres of hair to Kids with Cancer Foundation Australia’s Wigs 4 Kids campaign. She is also raising money for the cause, which helps relieve some of the financial burden of undergoing cancer treatment.

Emma Kealy rupted learning and the impact this would have on their learning outcomes,” she said.

“I thank all the educators who contacted me to support my advocacy for special consideration measures to be introduced.

“I also thank them for the enormous amount of work they are doing to navigate ever-changing restrictions while minimising disruption for their students.

“I also want to acknowledge the parents and carers who are supporting these students during another tough year.

“Finally, I would like to extend my thoughts and very best wishes to all students completing VCE, VET and VCAL this year – our community is behind you and we are proud of you.”

Lydia lops her locks for cancer Dimboola’s Lydia Paech will help change the life of a sick child after lopping off her long locks for a Wigs 4 Kids campaign.

Lydia, 10, has donated 37 centimetres of hair along with $776 of a $1000 goal to Kids with Cancer Foundation Australia.

The foundation runs the Wigs 4 Kids campaign, which supplies free wigs to children undergoing cancer treatment, helping relieve some financial burden.

Lydia, who attends St Peter’s Lutheran School, said she decided to participate in the campaign after firsthand experience of seeing a child with cancer lose her hair.

“I had a friend who had cancer and

two centimetres more of hair cut off,” she said.

“Lydia misses her long hair. The length she grew it to meant she needed a little help to maintain it. She now has short hair, which she is enjoying.

“Her father and I are super proud of her thoughtfulness and kindness.

“She could have given up once her hair got too long for her to handle but she didn’t, she was determined to grow as much as she could.

“Lydia donating her hair has inspired two other local girls to also donate their hair.”

Mrs Paech said people could continue to donate to Lydia’s fundraiser online at https://fundraise.kidswithcancer.org.au/fundraisers/lydiapaech.

she had no hair or a wig to wear,” she said.

“I thought, I didn’t want another sick kid to have no hair or a wig to wear, as it feels nice to have hair on your head.

“So, I decided to grow my hair and donate it, so it could go to a kid to have a wig until their hair grew back, while they got better.”

Lydia’s mother Tara said her daughter felt ‘slightly anxious’ when it was time to cut her hair, which she had been purposely growing for a couple of years.

“But when sitting in the hairdresser chair, she said she wanted it cut shorter so more hair could be donated, which meant she had an extra

Industry leaders sought

BIG PLANS: Arapiles Community Theatre general manager Tracey Skinner will oversee events at this year’s Nati Frinj Biennale.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Victorian Farmers Federation is calling on agricultural leaders from the Wimmera and Mallee to nominate for the organisation’s water council elections.

The VFF is accepting nominations for leadership positions in its council for Central, Central North, Northern, Western and East Gippsland regions.

It has also called for nominations to fill five vacancies representing the regions of Glenelg, North Central, Goulburn Broken, Mallee and West Gippsland.

Chief executive and returning officer Jane Lovell said the VFF Livestock Group and Water Council respectively represented the interests of Victorian farmers.

“By helping to express the views of farmers on important issues such

atimuk is primed to welcome creatives from across Victoria for one of the region’s largest arts and culture festivals later this year.

Nati Frinj Biennale, planned for October 29 to 31, is a celebration of the town’s cultural offerings and invited artists.

Event leaders are busy planning a series of performances, art displays, music and workshops for the three-day festival. They are hopeful the program will be unaffected by COVID-19 lockdowns.

Biennale director Hannah French said the pandemic presented a major planning challenge.

But she said it was crucial to push ahead with plans to support the performing arts sector, which had been ‘devastated’ by lockdowns in the past 16 months.

“We need to sit down and map this out with the team quite seriously because the festival will look a little different to when we ran it in 2019,” Ms French said.

“At the moment I’m thinking about if we need a back-up date in case we go into lockdown again.

“The lockdowns are just heartbreaking to see because the arts sector has been devastated.

We’re hoping we can run this event to support the sector through this hard time.”

Ms French said a Horsham Rural City Council COVID-19 support grant would enable the festival committee to invest in COVID-safe planning.

“The council is giving us support to hire extra staff for COVID cleaning,” she said.

“We were also able to invest in a cashless system, so we don’t have volunteers handling cash, and we will have ticket sales online.

“We’re also looking at having the festival streamed online so people can still access the festival content if they cannot attend.”

When the festival ran in 2019 it attracted patron numbers in the thousands, which Ms French admitted was ‘a distant, but happy’ memory.

“We estimate we had about 3500 to 5000 people throughout the weekend,” she said.

“We get a lot of people from Melbourne, interstate and people from the local area as well.

“We were so lucky with the timing of our last event, without any of the current stresses of the pandemic – it’s extraordinary to reflect upon.”

A series of bamboo structures is one of many projects in the pipeline for the Nati Frinj Biennale this year.

as animal welfare, biosecurity and market access to ensuring fair water policy, these roles are at the forefront of the issues that matter most to farmers,” she said.

“I would encourage anyone interested to nominate for these important roles.”

Nominations close on August 9.

Completed forms must be lodged to VFF returning officer at Farrer House, Level 3, 24-28 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000 or via email at returningofficer@vff.org.au no later than 5pm on close date.

Bamboo focus

Ms French said organisers were using a $64,000 Festivals Australia grant for the projects.

The bamboo focus continues on from a 2019 project called the ‘Styckx Theatre’ – a 45-metre long, 30-metre wide and 16-metre high bamboo theatre.

“This year it’s been exciting as we have people inspired by that design and developing bamboo activation in the town,” Ms French said.

“There is a structure called Power, which will be connected to the Natimuk GrainCorp silo with a high-line.

“There will also be a bamboo forest and some bamboo tripods forming the backdrop for a performance called ‘Apart, Together’.

“They will be host to really exquisite moments as part of the festival.”

The festival will also feature a project called ‘Nati Fridge’ where Natimuk artist Verity Higgins and Ballarat-based First Nations collective Pitcha Makin Fellas will paint a series of fridges that will feature throughout the town as part of a visual arts trail.

Ms French said she was hoping to organise a catch-up with Natimuk community to discuss further planning after COVID-19 restrictions eased.

hen it came to selecting a wedding destination, tropical Port Douglas was an obvious choice for Horsham couple Lorinda Baker and Brad Stewart, enabling them to celebrate their special day with ‘all our favourite people in our favourite place’.

“Port Douglas started as an off-hand comment of mine,” Lorinda said.

“I’d once said the only place I’d ever loved the idea of getting married was ‘the little white church’ in Port Douglas.

“We loved Port Douglas and had been to so many destination weddings, which are always so much fun. So we thought, ‘why not?’ and in the end, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

Brad and Lorinda married in ‘the little white church’, St Mary’s by the Sea, on March 6, 2021.

The couple’s reception was at the heritage-listed Sugar Wharf, overlooking the Coral Sea and Daintree Rainforest.

Lorinda wore a Made With Love gown and was attended to by maid of honour Phoebe Uebergang and bridesmaids April Wallis, Sophie Price and Kelsey Hamilton.

Brad chose his brother Leigh Stewart as best man and his groomsmen were Jeremy Beddison, Brendan Muller and Tyson Afford.

Brad and Lorinda’s son Lucas, now 2, also made a special entrance down the aisle.

Brad is the son of Turk and Julie Stewart of Hopetoun and Lorinda is the daughter of David and Wendy Baker of Horsham.

Lorinda and Brad met through mutual friends and Brad popped the ‘big question’ at home on his 30th birthday.

“He said proposing to me on his birthday was the only day he’d ever be able to get

Lorinda Baker and Brad Stewart it past me because I always ask too many questions,” Lorinda said.

The couple originally planned to marry in October 2020, but postponed to the following March because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We look back now and still can’t believe it went ahead in March and that everyone was able to attend,” Lorinda said.

She said the biggest highlight of the wedding day was that ‘it went ahead’.

“We had so much fun,” she said.

“We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

Mr and Mrs Stewart spent a few extra days in Port Douglas before honeymooning down the coast in their caravan for a few weeks.

Lorinda said while the COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges for cou-

ples planning weddings, people needed to be adaptable.

“My advice is to just roll with it,” she said.

“You might have to adapt, make changes and you might not know until the day if your special day will actually go ahead.

But that’s okay – you can’t control COVID. “Don’t sweat the small things. If something isn’t quite as you planned it, you’re the only one who will know.

“Your guests have no idea so just enjoy every moment.”

First Nations focus at Horsham Coles A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

supermarket giant’s plan to provide more employment opportunities for First Nations people is expanding in the Wimmera.

Coles Horsham plans to seek more First Nations people to work at the supermarket after it hired 11 new indigenous team members in March.

Click and collect worker Deanne King was among those employed as part of the recruitment drive.

Ms King said the employment program was promoting greater social inclusion for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

“This is great for First Nations communities to be able to walk into a Coles and see their own are working there,” she said.

“This program has been really supported around the community, and the feedback has been fantastic as well.”

Ms King said the commitment would help Coles better reflect the communities in which it operated.

“We haven’t seen this kind of thing in Coles here before, so seeing this progress is fantastic,” she said.

“It will be great to see future kids and adults getting in there for work and watch the program grow.

“I’m hoping this program sends a shining example of what is possible in this space.”

Coles Horsham store manager Matthew Kulhan said the supermarket was keen to employ more First Nations people when vacancies became available.

He said the employment focus expanded on the supermarket’s commitment to build strong relationships with the indigenous community of Horsham. The company also unveiled six pieces of indigenous artwork earlier this year.

“We refurbished our store in May and through that project we were able to engage with the local indigenous community around putting some artwork on the side of the building,” he said.

The employment drive expands on the organisation’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Plan 2023, which started 11 years ago.

Indigenous affairs advisor Martin Taylor said community engagement was a key focus of the plan.

“One of the major pillars of the Coles’ plan is employment,” he said.

“We identify opportunities in our regional and remote communities to make sure we’re representing the community.

“Currently the Horsham indigenous population represents 1.5 percent of the population and Coles Horsham’s workforce is made up of 14 percent of indigenous workers.”

Support for rural women Animal health company Zoetis will shine a light on women’s mental health as it continues its campaign to support Australians living in rural communities.

Zoetis has committed to raising up to $100,000 for Beyond Blue Support Service in 2021.

Senior vice-president and Australia and New Zealand cluster lead Lance Williams said with one third of Australian women living in rural and regional areas, women played a crucial role in the growth and future of regional economies and communities.

“Unfortunately, women experience some mental-health conditions at higher rates than men,” he said.

“Women are often juggling the demands of trying to be a perfect worker, parent, partner and friend, which can be nothing short of exhausting.

And when women feel they have fallen short of these standards, they can be quick to self-criticise.”

Zoetis works closely with rural Australia through interactions with the farming community, agricultural stores, veterinarians and their families.

The company has been raising money for Page

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Beyond Blue for the past five years, raising $500,000 by donating $5 from each sale of its livestock, pig and poultry vaccines and drenches.

Money raised goes directly to Beyond Blue Support Service to continue helping people living in remote areas who experience higher rates of mental-health conditions and suicide.

Mr Williams said to date, thanks to Zoetis’s donation, more than 8000 people had been able to get the support they needed through the service.

People can support the Zoetis fundraiser until October 31 and visit www.zoetis.com.au for more information.

Beyond Blue Support Service offers free and immediate counselling, advice and referrals via phone, webchat or email. In addition to the support service, Beyond Blue has resources and information online at www.beyondblue.org.au, including online forums that offer peer support in a ‘safe, moderated setting’.

A free 24-hour Coronavirus Mental Wellbeing Support Service is available at coronavirus.beyondblue.org.au People can call its dedicated phone line, staffed by mental-health professionals trained on the pandemic response, on 1800 512 348.

New aged-care services

M

ore than 600 residents from 23 aged-care facilities across the Wimmera will now have access to new psychological therapy services.

Grampians Community Health is the lead provider of the service, funded through Western Victoria Primary Health Network.

The group will provide the services across Northern Grampians, West Wimmera, Hindmarsh and Yarriambiack shires and Horsham district.

Project officer Anthea Perry said agedcare centres had welcomed the program.

“Aged-care facilities have been asking for this kind of service for a long time and believe it will be of great benefit to residents,” she said.

“It’s not uncommon for aged-care residents to have issues around anxiety and depression and their mental health needs to be a priority.”

The psychological therapy services are aimed at residents with diagnosed mild or moderate mental illness such as anxiety and depression and people assessed as being at risk of developing mental illness.

They will include face-to-face support and advice to help people tackle mental illness, group sessions and capacity to access telehealth if COVID-19 restrictions are in place or a resident prefers this option.

They are designed to give residents access to services similar to those available in the community and will include evidence-based, client-centred short-term therapies delivered by mental-health professionals.

Ms Perry said a significant number of residents in aged-care facilities were likely to experience anxiety and depression.

She said some might have significant transition and adjustment issues and there

“Without a doubt COVID-19 has had a big impact on mental health, particularly through the loss of contact with family and friends and even with volunteers,” she said.

“This has put a lot of pressure on teams looking after residents, so aged-care providers hope these interventions will have a positive effect.

“Mental health plays a significant role in our overall wellbeing and having these supports in place will be very beneficial.”

Clinical care manager at Minyip’s Dunmunkle Lodge Meredith Knoop said it was exciting to have Grampians Community Health offer psychological therapy

services to residents. “Mental health is a large part of today’s society and historically there have been limited services to support people in residential aged care,” she said.

“We believe this program will enrich the lives of our residents and offer a platform to address any mental-health issues and reduce anxiety and depression.”

Clinician Cass Roberts has been appointed to a counselling role and Grampians Community Care will fill another full-time position soon.

The service started accepting referrals from July 1. People interested in accessing the service can call Grampians Community Health on 5358 7400.

Centre ignites COVID-19 student interest VACCINATIONS

S

BY DYLAN DE JONG

now at The Wimmera Vaccination Clinic

tawell educational leaders are confident a program linking into the southern hemisphere’s first dark matter centre is boosting student enthusiasm for science subjects.

Late last year, ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics formed a partnership with Stawell Secondary College to develop learning resources and activities for students.

The program will link into the location of Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory, SUPL. College principal Carlos Lopez said the programs had ignited greater student interest in science subjects across all year levels at the school.

“One of the strengths this program has had is there has been a huge promotion of STEM, science, technology, engineering and mathematics, subjects,” he said.

“Another important factor has been a very enthusiastic cross-section of science teachers, which is unusual for a regional town because staffing schools in the regions is often tough.”

Mr Lopez said the dark matter programs also contributed to an increase in the number of female students participating in physics.

“Anecdotally in 2020, I was teaching physics across Stawell and Horsham and for the first time I know of, there were more girls than boys in those classes,” he said.

“Part of that was due to the dark matter lab, but the other part was due to girls getting more enthused about science.”

Mr Lopez said the Stawell college was confident its engagement with the dark matter centre would promote the importance of curiosity and inquiry in the context of major developments in the field of physics.

“It’s been really refreshing to see the scientific community embracing education,” he said.

“This is really at the cusp of human knowledge and it’s almost like getting into an explorers’ boat in the 1700s and saying, ‘we don’t know what we’re going to see, but we’ll embark on that journey’.”

Mr Lopez said he hoped the college’s renewed interest in science subjects would encourage students to pursue careers in science and ultimately give back to their community.

“It would be very advantageous for rural Victoria to train students in the country to work in regional areas in the field of science in sectors such as agricultural science or renewable energies,” he said.

The college worked with dark matter centre education and outreach co-ordinator Jackie Bondell to design the education program.

Ms Bondell said the partnership and the prox-

Carlos Lopez imity to the potentially world-changing research inspired an interest in science and physics among Stawell students.

“Students have just had so many follow-up questions and are very engaged,” she said.

“That circles back around to all the work Carlos and all the teachers do there because they have such a great culture for science.”

on our historic path towards treaty, and we will listen to the collective wisdom and knowledge they share to inform our journey.

“We encourage elders across Victoria to attend these community consultation events to have their say on the form the permanent Elders’ Voice will take.”

Uncle Andrew said respect, connectedness, knowledge base and lore of the land would guide the consultation process.

“Our permanent Elders’ Voice is something our community has been calling for since the beginning of the treaty process,” he said.

“It has always been a priority of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria.”

The assembly is a democratically elected voice for Aboriginal communities in Victoria working to establish a framework for the negotiation of a statewide Treaty and Traditional Owner Treaties in communities across the state.

The interim Elders’ Voice will start community consultations across the state early next month.

The First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria is inviting Wotjobaluk elders from across western Victoria to have their say in statewide community consultations to guide a treaty process.

The assembly is establishing an interim Elders’ Voice project to provide cultural advice, wisdom and oversight from elders across Victoria to ensure the treaty process reflects their priorities.

Respected elders and assembly members Gunditjmara woman Aunty Charmaine Clarke and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung man Uncle Andrew Gardiner have been appointed as interim Elders’ Voice co-chairs.

They will attend consultation sessions across the state and support elders in the development of the permanent Elders’ Voice, which will inform and guide the work of the assembly.

Aunty Charmaine said the establishment of a dedicated Elders’ Voice was a way to ensure the assembly’s work was grounded in respect for elders.

“The strength of Aboriginal elders and their long fight for justice has brought us to this point in our state’s history,” she said.

“We are grateful to receive our elders’ direction

Australian template

Ms Bondell said the program developed for Stawell would likely be used as a template for other schools across Australia.

“We’re piloting our ideas with Stawell Secondary College,” she said.

“The idea is that we’re going to create regional hubs with various partner schools.

“The idea is that we’re going to be running this program in other states where our scientists at University of Western Australia, Australian National University and University of Sydney can be the institutions to deliver these activities and work with schools.”

ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics in Melbourne was established last year to bring together physicists from across Australia, in partnership with key international researchers and institutions, to pursue the discovery of dark matter.

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that holds galaxies together and constitutes 80 percent of the matter of the universe.

Its existence is inferred from its gravitational interaction and the exploration of the nature of dark matter is considered science’s next frontier.

Hill set on Horsham show

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Y

oung award-winning Wimmera producer Matt Hill will look to agricultural shows closer to home as a chance to bounce back from a series of sheep show cancellations.

The St Helens Plains sheep farmer, 28, was among hundreds of contestants whose plans to compete in the annual Australian Sheep and Wool Show were derailed due to Victoria’s fifth COVID-19 lockdown.

Mr Hill had been busy preparing to place his beloved Hampshire Down lambs up against the ‘best of best’ sheep breeders in the country before the cancellation of the July 16 to 18 event.

“I was there on the Thursday and got there early like I normally do to get a good car park to miss the big rush,” he said.

“I was there for the majority of the day, getting the sheep ready, trimmed, settled, scanned and weighed.

“Then it got called off. So, I grabbed a few pizzas with a couple of friends who I hadn’t seen for a while, sat on the grandstand and caught up, before we all packed our stuff and went home.”

The young farmer follows the show circuit each year, attending events in Melbourne, Sydney, Bendigo and Hamilton.

His sheep have won several awards, including champion ram and ram of the year awards at Royal Melbourne Show in 2019.

Mr Hill said it was disappointing to see a long list of shows cancelled due to the pandemic.

“It hasn’t been a great year for sheep shows,” he said.

“I went to Sydney in April and I

KEEPING POSITIVE: St Helens Plains sheep breeder Matt Hill is hopeful sheep shows will be back up and running following a season of cancellations.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER must have only just snuck that one in – it was one of my more successful shows.

“Other than that, I hadn’t been to another sheep show for a long time.”

Despite the cancellation, Mr Hill remains hopeful of seeing a return to sheep shows, but this time, a little closer to home.

He said he had the Horsham agricultural show in his sights in late September, but remained cautiously optimistic about Royal Mel-

bourne Show in the same month.

“I’m a bit keener for Horsham than Melbourne at the moment,” he said.

“I can see a regional show happening before one of the larger city shows due to the virus.

“I also think interest in the Horsham show will be even greater this year than previous ones, just because producers have been preparing their rams and ewes and not been able to show them.”

Mr Hill, a sixth-generation farm-

er, has a long history of merino sheep breeding.

He said he was particularly proud of his Hampshire Down lambs, which he had invested in from a young age.

“The lambs are among my top breeding ewes,” he said.

“The Hampshire Down are really trending at the moment because of the eating quality, with all the marbling through the meat.”

Wimmera-Mallee farmers can have their say in a census to provide an accurate picture of the nation’s agricultural activity and help inform policy and programs for the sector.

Farmers have until Thursday next week to provide feedback about their agricultural production, land and water use in the 2020-21 period for the Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS, census.

National Farmers Federation chief executive Tony Mahar said participation in the survey was crucial to ensure statistics accurately reflected the reality of what was happening across the sector.

“Agriculture has faced a turbulent year of drought, flood, mice and the ongoing impacts of COVID-19,” he said.

“It is important that farmers share their experiences and provide insight into the challenges faced during the 2020-21 period.”

Mr Mahar said the statistics would help inform policy and programs that would help drive profitability and productivity of the sector.

“This information will enable the government to work closely with industry to adapt and shape both the huge opportunities and expected challenges going forward,” he said.

Mr Mahar said ABS had taken on board participant feedback from past years and had made changes to the survey to make it easier to complete via online portal www.abs.gov.au/articles/2020-21agricultural-census.

Junior job opening A State Government program supporting unemployed young people during the COVID-19 pandemic has enabled Horsham’s Australian Grains Genebank to seek a junior assistant.

The genebank plans to employ a technical assistant as part of a Working for Victoria Youth Employment Program.

The assistant will provide practical support for a range of genebank activities and assist with graincrop-plant growth including sowing, in-crop care, harvesting and threshing, processing seed for long-term conservation and distribution of seed to clients. Eligibility criteria is available online via jobs.careers.vic.gov.au/jobs/VG-1548504.

Jochinke: Come back stronger R

BY DYLAN DE JONG

epeated field-day cancellations in the Wimmera-Mallee have prompted an agriculture leader to urge the community to maintain its support for showcase events beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days past president and National Farmers Federation vice-president David Jochinke said the field-days hiatus was a major loss for the industry.

His comments came after Mallee Machinery Field Days organisers cancelled the August 4 and 5 agricultural showcase at Speed due to Victoria’s fifth COVID-19 lockdown.

Lockdowns leading up to March also forced Wimmera Machinery Field Days committee to cancel this year’s event. The event went ahead in 2020 just weeks before the onset of the pandemic.

Mr Jochinke said annual trade shows represented an opportunity for regional and rural communities to unite in a celebration of agriculture.

“It is an absolute disappointment that we’re in this situation of having to cancel another event in the region, especially for agriculture,” he said.

“Field days are an opportunity for us to get together and share experiences.

“We’ve also had a reasonable season and haven’t been able to celebrate that with our friends in agriculture due to the cancellations.”

Mr Jochinke said support from the agricultural sector and wider community would be key to the event’s continuation beyond the pandemic.

“If COVID has taught us anything, if you don’t get behind these events when they can return, they will die a natural death,” he said.

“In many ways this is a call to arms for the farming sector. If there’s an event on and we don’t support it could be the last one.”

Mr Jochinke said morale from committees in rural communities, which organise field days, would be low.

“Committees put a lot of time and effort into these events. If the agriculture community doesn’t value it, we might not have it in the future,” he said.

“There’s the hard economics of not running the event, but the other part to consider is organisers can lose motivation. The question will be how do we get that back for next season.”

Mr Jochinke said it would be important for organisers to focus on strengths, such as exhibits and social aspects of field days, to future-proof the events.

“One thing that field days do above anything else is give farmers the opportunity to eyeball products side-by-side in the same period,” he said.

“That aspect of the field days will always be their niche.

“There’s also not too many events where farmers gather in a social setting to look at machinery and celebrate the season together quite like a field days. You can’t get that in any online experience.”

Mr Jochinke said the break also represented a catalyst in leaders reshaping the format and presentation of the annual showcase events.

“Demonstrations field days were based on, and the monopoly they once had on information over latest releases of machinery, are no longer their niche with the advent of the internet and farmers becoming tech-savvy,” he said.

“I think the future of field days will still be relevant, but the format in how that is presented and making sure it’s a celebration of agriculture and family friendly is going to be the real challenge moving forward in the next few years.”

• Mallee Machinery Field Days leaders remain positive, pages 36 and 37.

“The RAKE in FRONT of ALL RAKES”

Horsham saleyard numbers drop Sheep and lamb numbers at Horsham saleyard are gradually decreasing as producers persist through the winter months.

Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange yarded about 1500 less sheep and lambs at its weekly Wednesday sale last week, compared with earlier this month.

Meat and Livestock Australia livestock market officer Graham Pymer, based in Horsham, said both lamb and sheep numbers eased last week, with 3226 lambs and 1582 sheep penned.

“Quality was mixed, with a smaller offering of heavy lambs yarded,” he said.

“Most of the regular buying group attended and operated in a strong market with lambs generally selling from $5 to $10 a head up on last week.”

A collectors’ dream auction awaits 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

ollectors and memorabilia enthusiasts will prepare for a unique and rare opportunity next week as one of the Wimmera’s most anticipated clearing sales gets under way.

A lifetime of collections, dating back to the late 1800s, will feature in the first five installments of an online Pipkorn Vintage and Collectables Sale.

Former Banyena farmer Ken Pipkorn, now of Horsham, has spent a lifetime gathering collectables.

Items gathered from his family farms will go under the hammer on August 7 and 8.

Elders Horsham is in charge of the online sale and has had the task of clearing, sorting and presenting decades of collected materials – much of it reflects and represents bygone eras and the evolution of Australia and beyond.

Elders Horsham branch manager Mat Taylor said he had been astonished at the scope of the collected materials, which would require two major clearing sales.

“The first is on August 7 and 8, covering collections of every conceivable type of item, some are extremely rare,” he said.

“The first, in five auction sections and with about 1200 multiple-item lots, concentrates on smaller collectables.

“A second sale, covering an expan-

“It is such an extensive collection that by the time the overall sale is complete it will have been nearly a year since we started the process.

That’s how big a project this has been.”

Mr Taylor said the collection was so extensive it was mind-boggling.

“If you found one of something you knew you were going to find 20 more,” he said.

“We have an almost incomprehensible collection, involving everything from stamp, coin and expansive sign collections gathered from across eastern Australia, to everyday working materials, machinery and vehicles – used across generations.

Climate-change adaptation Wimmera-Mallee residents can have their say in a statewide survey to understand how key sectors of the economy and environment can be more resilient to climate change.

State Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio announced consultation was under way on seven draft climate-change adaptation action plans as the state moved to reach its ambitious climate-change targets.

The plans focus on seven sectors regarded as vulnerable to climate change or having an important role in adapting to further change including primary production, built environment, education and training, health and human services, transport, natural environment and water cycle.

Ms D’Ambrosio said the government was seeking input from the community to shape its plans, which would set a ‘solid foundation’ for a climate-resilient Victoria.

“Our climate is changing and we need to act.

That’s why we want to hear from essential sectors in Victoria about ways we can become more resilient to the impacts of climate change,” she said.

“Victoria’s seven adaptation action plans will collectively harness the opportunities and tackle the impacts of climate change, while caring for our environment and building the resilience of our economy.”

The plans respond to priorities in Victoria’s Climate Change Strategy, address impacts and the systematic changes needed to prepare key sectors for the future climate.

The government intends to complete plans by the end of 2021. The plans will guide adaptation efforts over the next five years.

“It has all been really something to behold.”

Mr Taylor said the sorting process had been an unforgettable experience.

“It has been nothing short of a privilege for Elders staff to be able to go through items that physically tell a story of Australia and Australian agriculture from the 1800s to the present day,” he said.

“It’s been a rare experience and the truth is, what we’re having is much more than a clearing sale – it’s a walk through and passing on of museum pieces.

“You would never have another opportunity in your life to buy some of the items up for sale.

“If you don’t get what you’re looking for here, you won’t get it anywhere.”

Mr Taylor said he was still coming to grips with the extent of the overall collection.

“Our team was constantly uncovering surprising finds that varied considerably,” he said.

“One example was a 1908 halfsovereign coin, sitting in an envelope.

“Another was a 1930s motorcycle that seemed to appear out of the blue.

“And every time we went to the property we were constantly finding car jacks from all eras, some dating back to the 1890s. Every day had a ‘wow’ moment.”

The online auction will involve live bidding, finishing with a timer on an AuctionsPlus website.

The auction opens at 9am on Saturday, August 7 and continues the following day.

hose of us who have been through it will never forget it. The phone call to inform us a loved one has taken their own life.

For me it was a friend, and we were his closest friends. He told us about his feeling of lack of purpose, that life was not worth living.

He never actually mentioned the word ‘suicide’, but all the signs were there.

He was found dead by his teenage children. It was the most traumatic funeral, with all of us wishing we had known what to do to prevent the tragedy.

The latest study, ‘Suicide in rural Australia: A retrospective study of mental health problems, healthseeking and service utilisation’ shows rates are higher in regional areas and the reasons are not fully understood.

The data for the study was compiled by accessing coroners reports from five years of cases and found that suicide rates were 11 percent higher than the national average. Fifty-six percent had been diagnosed with a mental illness and a further 24 percent had undiagnosed symptoms.

“Reported diagnoses of mental illness decreased with remoteness, as did treatment for mental illness, particularly in men. The most reported diagnoses were mood disorders, 70

percent, psychotic disorders, nine percent and anxiety disorders, eight percent. In the six weeks before suicide, 22 percent of cases had visited any type of health service at least once, and six percent had visited two or more services. Medication alone accounted for 76 percent of all cases treated,” the report stated.

One of the authors of the study was Dr David Perkins, director of the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health at the University of Newcastle.

As he explained in an interview on Country Today, there were two age categories that suffered far more deaths: The 15 to 24 age group and then the over 75s.

“For the younger ones, this is when your whole life is before you – you might be having a relationship hope that has been dashed. There might be a whole series of reasons why, in that really formative period where your opportunities in rural areas might seem really challenging,” Dr Perkins said.

I went to an informal gathering of farming families at the aptly named Farmers Arms Hotel in Benalla where I live.

One of the older stalwarts of the local farmers hosts the show to encourage farmers, some of whom live alone and many who work alone, to come and talk with like-minded people with similar problems.

It was also great to see several of the young ones just starting their career in farming.

I thought of that initiative that is so simple but so important when Dr Perkins talked of the R U OK? campaign.

“We need to be good neighbours.

We need to work out how we’re going to connect with our neighbours, our work mates, our school mates, our family members, ringing up people we haven’t seen for a while, noticing if someone is not coming to the sports club. The personal, human role, the R U OK question,” he said.

As it says, a question that could change a life and possibly even save one.

• People can visit www.beyondblue. org.au or www.lifeline.org.au for information and support about anxiety, depression and suicide. People in need of crisis support and suicide prevention services can call Lifeline’s 24-hour hotline on 13 11 14. If a life is in danger, people should call police on triple zero.

Goroke brothers up for award Generational Goroke farmers Grant and Bryce Hausler have been shortlisted for a national sheep industry award.

The brothers, shortlisted in the Zoetis Trade Champion category, run a stud and grazing operation alongside cropping canola, wheat, beans, barley and oats at their family farm.

Grant said he was honoured to be included among industry professionals nominated for the award.

“These awards are a great promotion for the sheep industry,” he said.

He said the family farm had a long history for breeding ‘well grown’ and ‘highly muscled’ rams with the ability to produce quality sucker or heavy export lambs.

The family farm runs Janmac Poll Dorset, founded by Malcolm and Janet Hausler in 1979, and White Suffolk stud, including about 600 stud ewes.

Their sheep operation also includes about 1000 merino ewes and merino and Border Leicester rams.

Grant said the sheep-meat industry was performing well this year despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

“There’s a good market for the lambs. The industry is going strong and it’s a good time to have sheep,” he said.

“Essential industries such as grains and livestock continue to be strong during this time.”

Agriculture Victoria’s Dr Sally Norton is one of 29 participants to take part in the national program, designed to build leadership capability in people throughout rural, regional and remote Australia.

Dr Norton is a senior research scientist at Australian Grains Genebank at Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park.

She will attend 50 days of practical learning and mentoring.

Dr Norton said she was thrilled to be selected and was looking forward to getting started this month, with initial online training before joining her cohort for learning experiences in regional Australia and potentially overseas during the next 15 months.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to learn more about myself and develop skills to become a better leader,” she said.

“Regional and rural Victorians have been facing a host of challenges in recent years including drought, bushfires and floods, so the mentorship in this program will offer guidance on how to look at these events as opportunities to

work together and build resilience.

“This course will also provide the opportunity to really get out of my comfort zone and challenge both myself and my cohort to become stronger leaders.”

In her role at Agriculture Victoria, Dr Norton leads a team of 23, which includes scientists, technicians and high-degree students.

She is also national leader of Australian Grains Genebank.

The Australian Rural Leadership Program selection process involved an online application and progression through an interview panel.

The program provides participants with opportunities to enhance their capacities and create a network of like-minded leaders to positively influence their organisations, industries and communities.

People seeking more information about Australian Rural Leadership Foundation can visit website, rural leaders.org.au/our-programs/arlp.

DEVELOPMENT: Dr Sally Norton is taking part in an Australian Rural Leadership Program.

A CSIRO agriculture and food director will visit Birchip early next month to discuss the future of agriculture with Wimmera-Mallee grain and livestock farmers.

Dr Michiel van Lookeren Campagne will speak at a Birchip Cropping Group breakfast on August 12.

Dr van Lookeren Campagne’s presentation, The future of agriculture and a scan of the horizon of what is to come, will showcase CSIRO’s vision for food and agriculture and how it applies to farmers and rural communities.

Dr van Lookeren Campagne has a background in bioscience and technology. He was the head of BioScience, Seeds and Traits at Bayer CropScience in the Netherlands before joining Syngenta in North Carolina and then CSIRO in 2019.

BCG chair John Ferrier said agriculture and food was one of CSIRO’s primary focus areas and was responsible for research from paddock to plate.

“CSIRO and BCG have had a long association. Together, we have developed the flagship product Yield Prophet and worked together on projects including measuring and managing soil water, soil sensing and exploring a farmer data market,” he said.

“These innovations have directly influenced broadacre cropping practices, improved decision-making and consequently, profitability in addition to the environmental benefits.”

Online registration is essential for the free event. People can visit www.bcg.org.au/ events to secure a place or call BCG on 5492 2787 with inquiries.

Wimmera mayor has pointed to the cancellation of the Mallee Machinery Field Days as a key reason the community must support events when they return.

Yarriambiack Shire Council mayor Graeme Massey said the resilience and solidarity of Wimmera-Mallee residents would aid the resurgence of events when COVID-19 lockdowns ended.

His comments came after field days organisers made the ‘tough call’ early last week to cancel the August 4 and 5 agricultural showcase in Speed due to Victoria’s fifth COVID-19 lockdown.

“I have every confidence the community will come along and support events in the shire when they can go ahead again,” Cr Massey said.

“Our communities are so strong and I know they will rise up and support revival of events – that goes without saying.

“It is a massive disappointment of the cancellation of the field days and the way we’re going at the moment, you can’t plan too far ahead with the suddenness of lockdowns.”

Cr Massey said towns including Speed, Patchewollock, Hopetoun and Ouyen would miss out on a major influx in tourism due to the event’s cancellation.

COVID-19 ‘exhausting’ SHOWCASE: Mallee Machinery Field Days provides an opportunity for producers, industry and friends to come together each year. COVID-19 has now cancelled the event two years running.

“This event is certainly one of the largest in our shire. The publicity the smaller towns get through this event is enormous,” he said.

“There is a great deal of people who come into the northern part of our shire who book out accommodation and order meals at cafes and hotels, which won’t happen this year.

“People would also travel through our shire and neighbouring municipalities, camping along the way and visiting attractions during the week of the event.”

Cr Massey said he was also concerned about the effect the cancellation would have on schools, sporting clubs and other groups that relied on

HORSHAM www.eurekagarages.com.au

the field days as a fundraising stream.

“So many volunteer groups, sporting groups, schools and kindergartens rely on the field days for their income for the year. They do the catering and car parking and other essential jobs to keep the event going,” he said.

“Their loss of income is enormous because it means for two years now, they can’t source funds while they still have commitments to pay such as insurances and their lease arrangements.”

The field days and Warracknabeal’s annual Easter festival Y-Fest are among Yarriambiack events cancelled this year due to the pandemic.

Cr Massey said he hoped other

big-scale events in the shire scheduled for later this year could proceed despite the uncertainty of COVID-19 lockdowns.

“Major events like the Patchewollock Music Festival and Murtoa’s Big Weekend, both in October, will have to rely on certainty if they are to go ahead due to the shear amount of planning that goes into them,” he said.

“The government seems to be using lockdowns as its first weapon of choice to suppress the virus.

“Some people might not agree with that method, but it’s what we have to live with.”

I am truly disappointed the Mallee Machinery Field Days committee has cancelled the event for this year.

Not only was I looking forward to attending myself, but I know how much these field days mean to our communities and especially Speed.

The MMFD is not only an opportunity for producers, industry and locals alike to share information, innovation and new farming equipment. The benefits of the days include lifting community spirits.

We cannot underestimate the mental-health benefits to everyone concerned by being able to meet together.

COVID has put local communities under intense pressure and isolated many families over the past 18 months, so events like these are hugely important.

One thing is for sure, absence certainly can make the heart grow fonder, and I’m sure everyone will be looking forward to 2022 Mallee Machinery Field Days!

he president of the Mallee’s largest agricultural and agribusiness trade show at Speed says several communities are feeling the socio-economic fallout of cancelling the 2021 event.

Mallee Machinery Field Days president Terry Kiley said the town of less than 100 people was bracing for more than 8000 visitors, including farmers, exhibitors and tourists from across the country.

Mr Kiley said Victoria’s fifth COVID-19 lockdown forced Speed Lions Club, which organises the field days, to cancel the event for the second consecutive year.

“We were just three weeks out and really looking forward to it, but what can you do – it’s out of our hands,” he said.

“We had everything prepared and the site had been mowed and marked.

“But I’m glad we called it when we did because there would have been marquees going up last week and exhibitors would have been moving in – that’s why we called it when we did.”

Leaders are concerned the cancellation of the region’s primary agricultural event will extend far beyond the farming community it supports.

The field days serves as the biggest fundraising opportunity for Speed

and its neighbouring communities.

Organisers estimate the event generates between $50,000 and $100,000 each year.

Mr Kiley said 20 community groups across Speed, Tempy, Ouyen, Patchewollock and Hopetoun would miss out on key fundraising opportunities the field days provided.

“It’s an economic loss to us, but it’s also a big loss to local community groups that help us run it,” he said.

“There’s a couple of football clubs, including Sea Lake-Nandaly Tigers and Ouyen United, and numerous school groups that help out with the event.

“There’s also Men’s Shed members from Hopetoun and Ouyen who help with parking.

“All these community groups get a dividend from the work they’re doing.”

Mr Kiley said Speed Lions Club contributed money to several causes each year, including Ouyen and District Hospital, Rural Northwest Health in Hopetoun and Sea Lake and District Hospital.

“We also have a program where we can give high school students about $750 to go to university or towards a trade,” he said.

“If there’s anyone who has a need locally, such as someone with cancer and they need to travel to Melbourne for appointments, we give them fuel

“We had everything prepared and the site had been mowed and marked. But I’m glad we called it when we did because there would have been marquees going up last week and exhibitors would have been moving in – that’s why we called it when we did”

vouchers and help with their accommodation costs.

“We also contribute to cancer research, heart disease and other medical conditions through our fundraising efforts.

“This is the only event we run for the year, so it has a big impact when we can’t run it.”

Mr Kiley said although it was a ‘big hit’ cancelling the event two years in a row, the Lions Club would forge ahead with plans for a 2022 event.

“It will be a limited event if it keeps getting cancelled. This year we ran at a bigger loss than last year due to 2020’s cancellation,” he said.

“But hopefully people will get vaccinated and there will come a point when we can run events without all the stress associated with the pandemic in the future.”

FORGING AHEAD: Mallee Machinery Field Days president Terry Kiley said although it was a ‘big hit’ cancelling the event two years in a row, Speed Lions Club would forge ahead with plans for a 2022 event.

Wimmera mayor has pointed to the cancellation of the Mallee Machinery Field Days as a key reason the community must support events when they return.

Yarriambiack Shire Council mayor Graeme Massey said the resilience and solidarity of Wimmera-Mallee residents would aid the resurgence of events when COVID-19 lockdowns ended.

His comments came after field days organisers made the ‘tough call’ early last week to cancel the August 4 and 5 agricultural showcase in Speed due to Victoria’s fifth COVID-19 lockdown.

“I have every confidence the community will come along and support events in the shire when they can go ahead again,” Cr Massey said.

“Our communities are so strong and I know they will rise up and support revival of events – that goes without saying.

“It is a massive disappointment of the cancellation of the field days and the way we’re going at the moment, you can’t plan too far ahead with the suddenness of lockdowns.”

Cr Massey said towns including Speed, Patchewollock, Hopetoun and Ouyen would miss out on a major influx in tourism due to the event’s cancellation.

COVID-19 ‘exhausting’ SHOWCASE: Mallee Machinery Field Days provides an opportunity for producers, industry and friends to come together each year. COVID-19 has now cancelled the event two years running.

“This event is certainly one of the largest in our shire. The publicity the smaller towns get through this event is enormous,” he said.

“There is a great deal of people who come into the northern part of our shire who book out accommodation and order meals at cafes and hotels, which won’t happen this year.

“People would also travel through our shire and neighbouring municipalities, camping along the way and visiting attractions during the week of the event.”

Cr Massey said he was also concerned about the effect the cancellation would have on schools, sporting clubs and other groups that relied on

HORSHAM www.eurekagarages.com.au

the field days as a fundraising stream.

“So many volunteer groups, sporting groups, schools and kindergartens rely on the field days for their income for the year. They do the catering and car parking and other essential jobs to keep the event going,” he said.

“Their loss of income is enormous because it means for two years now, they can’t source funds while they still have commitments to pay such as insurances and their lease arrangements.”

The field days and Warracknabeal’s annual Easter festival Y-Fest are among Yarriambiack events cancelled this year due to the pandemic.

Cr Massey said he hoped other

big-scale events in the shire scheduled for later this year could proceed despite the uncertainty of COVID-19 lockdowns.

“Major events like the Patchewollock Music Festival and Murtoa’s Big Weekend, both in October, will have to rely on certainty if they are to go ahead due to the shear amount of planning that goes into them,” he said.

“The government seems to be using lockdowns as its first weapon of choice to suppress the virus.

Grain webinars targeting Asia

A

n independent Australian grains advocacy agency is targeting customers throughout Asia via a series of ‘whole grain’ webinars.

Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre has already presented to Vietnam and Indonesia and has scheduled other webinars for Malaysia tomorrow, Thailand on August 17 and the Philippines on August 19.

The whole-grain webinars are designed to help flour millers and food manufacturers across South East Asia understand the advantages of choosing Australian whole grains amid increasing interest in health benefits.

Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre, AEGIC, analytical services and research business manager Dr Hayfa Salman said capitalising on the mounting demand for healthy whole grains was a significant opportunity for the Australian export grains industry.

“Thanks to previous AEGIC research, we know Australian wheat has unique benefits for whole-grain products when it comes to cleanliness, colour and flavour,” she said.

“We also know whole-grain consumption in Asia is continuing to grow as governments, health authorities and consumers recognise the many health and economic benefits.

“Asian flour millers are hungry for information about the merits of Australian whole grains and how to optimise their value, and we are very happy to provide this support.”

To accompany the whole-grain webinar series, AEGIC’s milling experts developed a technical information pack about how to maximise value when milling whole-grain flour.

The guide is specifically for international millers to help them mill whole-grain wheat and to increase the probability that Australian wheat is selected for whole-grain flour.

The webinars feature AEGIC experts Dr Salman, Mathew Rees, senior milling consultant, and Sabrina Lim, food scientist.

The experts explain the benefits of using Australian wheat for whole-grain products, address milling options for production of whole-grain flour, and demonstrate how to make whole-grain products.

These webinars are designed to be beneficial for technical and management staff employed in flour-milling and noodle-making companies, bakeries, grain-trading and research organisations.

AEGIC is planning more webinars focusing on Australian wheat quality for noodles and baking in coming months.

People can keep up to date and view past AEGIC events online at www.aegic.org. au/events.

FAMILY FARM: Lester Maybery and his grandson Cody Maybery, 15, inspect sheep for shearing at their Mitre farm.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Recovery positive for sheep, wool Mitre livestock farmer Lester Maybery is among Australian producers benefitting from a strong wool market this season.

Mr Maybery, who runs 2500 merino sheep, has been busy shearing his flock for the past two weeks amid the height of Victoria’s shearing season during July.

Agribusiness Rural Bank, which has a branch in Horsham, predicted the Australian wool market would continue to recover in the second half of 2021, while international demand increased

for wool apparel in its mid-year outlook.

However, the report also predicted price volatility was likely to continue as the supply to market fluctuated.

Mr Maybery said the strength of Australia’s wool market was a positive signal for WimmeraMallee wool producers.

“The wool and sheep market is very good to be honest. The wool market has climbed up quite nicely,” he said.

Mr Maybery said a dry summer

and autumn period affected the quality of his flock’s fleeces.

“The clip is not as good as other years because of the dry summer – but it’s not too bad,” he said.

“However, we’re very thankful for the recent rain, because it was dry for a while.”

Mr Maybery said he enjoyed teaching his grandchildren Cody and Macey Mayberry about wool and sheep farming, particularly during the school holidays.

Kirsty determined to prove herself 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

“It was pretty gut-wrenching to see the competition cancelled. I hadn’t made it to the Victorian team yet, so I thought maybe this year was my year to get in”

W

hen Nhill’s Kirsty Pollock traded hair clippers for shears six years ago she never expected to have the chance to represent her state alongside her brother.

The former hairdresser and her brother Josh Bone, who work on a Yanac sheep farm, are keen to see a return to Victorian shows for an opportunity to qualify for a National Shearing Championship later this year.

The pair was set to compete in shearing and wool-handling competitions at Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo earlier this month.

Victoria’s fifth COVID-19 lockdown forced organisers to cancel the July 16 to 18 event.

Mr Bone qualified for the state shearing team at the 2019 show, while Mrs Pollock narrowly missed her chance to qualify for the wool-handling team.

Mrs Pollock said 2021 was going to be a chance to redeem herself and represent Victoria alongside her brother.

“It was pretty gut-wrenching to see the competition cancelled,” she said.

“I hadn’t made it to the Victorian team yet, so I thought maybe this year was my year to get in.”

Mrs Pollock said she had been training hard every day at work to prepare for the Bendigo show.

“I’ve been training and working on

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER my fitness. I feel like I’m better than I was in 2019 and I have more confidence,” she said.

“I’m always thinking about how I can do a task faster or more efficiently to a higher quality.

“When you compete, you might only

do four to eight fleeces, but your concentration level is so high that you get worn out pretty quickly, so fitness is everything.”

Mrs Pollock said her bond with her brother had grown in the time they had been working together.

“We take our work pretty seriously and are always mindful of quality, but we joke around too,” she said.

“We just know how to read each other and it works pretty well.”

Shearers and wool-handling competitors across the state are hoping

officials can reconvene with another date for the competition.

Mr Bone and Mrs Pollock were among hundreds of competitors who followed a show circuit across South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania in the lead-up to the Bendigo finals.

Mrs Pollock said officials were deliberating whether they could move the competition to Horsham agriculture show in September or Warrnambool Show in October.

She said running the competition at Horsham represented a major opportunity to showcase the wool industry in the Wimmera.

“The little shed they have it in at Bendigo is packed and people come from everywhere to watch it. You have the best of the best shearers and wool handlers in the state,” she said.

“If it was hosted in Horsham, Wimmera people who might have never seen us perform would also have a chance to watch.”

Rain brings renewed confidence 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

ational agriculture leaders based in the Wimmera are confident consistent rain and high commodity prices might lead to promising results at harvest time for regional grain producers.

Grain Producers Australia chairman and Rupanyup farmer Andrew Weidemann said market demand and recent rain in the Wimmera was boosting farmer confidence.

National Farmers Federation vice-president David Jochinke, who runs a mixed grain and livestock farm in Murra Warra, said confidence in the region’s grains industry was increasing producers’ ability to invest more on their farming operations.

Mr Weidemann, who farms canola, beans, lentils, barley and wheat, said his farm received 100 millimetres of rain since late May, which followed a drier than average start to the cropping season.

“We’re probably exceeding expectations because we had such a dry period from the start of February, where we sowed a lot of our crops dry,” he said.

“Some crops like beans were sown dry and for a while weren’t showing as much vigour as they normally would, but generally speaking everything has been pretty good.

“I might see the odd paddock with

tember through to October,” he said.

“We just need those finishing rains in those months, and we should have a pretty solid year.”

weeds and insect issues, but we also haven’t seen a mice issue that we’ve seen in past years.”

The Bureau of Meteorology, BoM, recorded 38 millimetres of rain at its Horsham observation site during July.

Stawell recorded 52mm, Edenhope 50mm, Ararat 36mm and Hopetoun 27mm.

BoM is predicting rain from August to October would likely be above median for most of Australia.

Its three-month summary also showed a negative Indian Ocean Dipole forming, and large parts of the eastern Indian Ocean are warmer than average, which could favour aboveaverage winter-spring rain for parts of Australia.

Reason to invest

Commodity prices

Mr Weidemann said changes in the global grains market would contribute to high demand for Wimmera-Mallee commodities.

“Canada is in a one-in-100-year drought at the moment. You’ve got a chunk of America’s prime wheat growing area that’s also struggling for moisture, combined with the fact China is buying up more wheat than expected,” he said.

“All of these factors are pushing global prices up.”

Mr Weidemann said demand for pulses and oil seeds were also growing.

OPTIMISTIC: Grain Producers Australia chairman and Rupanyup farmer Andrew Weidemann, who farms canola, beans, lentils, barley and wheat, says strong market demand and winter rain is boosting farmers’ confidence.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “Last week, there were announcements coming out of India where they’re looking at accumulating more pulses, which is a great sign for the Wimmera-Mallee,” he said.

“Oil seeds and canola are our premium crops this year in terms of price.

However, sadly a lot of the Mallee was too late for them to get a decent start.

“But the Wimmera and Western

District should do quite well out of canola.”

Mr Weidemann said if market demand continued through the year, producers would be looking at a positive economic return at harvest later this year.

“Commodity prices are looking really strong, however, the really good rainfall months that put dollars in people’s pockets are probably from Sep-

Mr Jochinke said rain and commodity prices were contributing to producers’ confidence to invest on their farms.

“The general feeling when I’m catching up with my neighbours or talking to people further afield is positivity,” he said.

“With the turnaround in weather, farmers are making strategic decisions for the future with key purchases of equipment, silos, machinery, grain and hay handling gear.

“There seems to be a lot of positivity around investing in those items that in a general year, you can’t necessarily justify.”

Mr Jochinke said the winter rain gave him a renewed sense of confidence regional producers could expect a better than average return this season.

“When we first started this season, I was very conservative and thought we could pull off an average season,” he said.

“We’re a long way off before we count any chickens, but if we stay on this trajectory, it will be a promising year.”

Time to kick the herbicide habit 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY CINDY BENJAMIN WEEDSMART

N

ational weed-control agency Weedsmart has reported random weed surveys continuing to identify an increasing trend in herbicide resistance across Australia’s broadacre cropping regions.

It has identified the single cause of herbicide resistance in weeds as selection pressure through herbicide use.

Annual ryegrass leads the charge, with resistance to multiple herbicide modes of action, and demands a readjustment in weed-control strategies.

Dr Peter Boutsalis of Plant Science Consulting said the introduction of several new herbicides in recent years had provided options for controlling some resistant populations, particularly for Group 1 A and Group 2 B resistant ryegrass. But this alone would not halt resistance evolution in ryegrass populations across Australia.

“Simply changing to another mode of action when older chemistry seems less effective is not a long-term solution,” he said.

“Any herbicide has the ability to select for resistance, especially in a genetically diverse species such as ryegrass.

“The strategy needs to centre on increasing diversity in herbicides and non-herbicide tools, not just switching from an ‘old’ herbicide to a ‘new’ one.”

Grains Research and Development Corporation has invested in random weed surveys in different regions in New South Wales each year from 2015 to 2019.

These surveys have identified differences in the pattern of resistance between regions and states, but the trend toward multiple-resistance mechanisms and resistance to increasing application rates is undeniable.

Dr John Broster, Charles Sturt University, said most annual ryegrass populations in NSW were resistant to Group 1 A and Group 2 B herbicides with some variability between the surveyed sub-regions.

To date, no populations had been found that were resistant to newer preemergent herbicides, however resistance had been reported in other states.

“Of particular concern is the percentage of ryegrass populations sampled in the random survey in some sub-regions that are resistant to glyphosate,” he said.

“The extent of resistance in some areas was brought home strongly in the 2020 season when many growers were confronted with significant patches of ryegrass that clearly escaped pre-seeding glyphosate applications.”

The random surveys involved the collection and testing of 608 ryegrass populations, with the results showing five percent of these populations were resistant to glyphosate.

INCREASING DIVERSITY: Dr Peter Boutsalis of Plant Science Consulting offers ‘Quick Tests’ for growers and agronomists who experience an apparent herbicide failure.

The highest level of resistance so far was found in 2019 results from the eastern NSW region alone, where 14 percent of populations were resistant to glyphosate.

A population is considered resistant to a herbicide when more than 20 percent of the plants grown from seed collected at a single site survive applications of registered rates of the herbicide in question.

In addition to the random sampling to provide the ‘big picture’ of resistance extent, Dr Boutsalis also has Quick Tests when growers and agronomists experience an apparent herbicide failure.

In 2020, he was sent 83 ryegrass samples from concerned growers in NSW and Quick Tests showed 79 percent of individual plants that survived

paddock treatments were resistant to glyphosate.

“This suggested that although glyphosate resistance is generally a significant contributing factor to weeds escaping herbicide treatment in the paddock, there are potentially other forces involved as well,” Dr Boutsalis said.

“Poor application technique or application onto stressed plants, incorrect timing, sampling plants that were not exposed to glyphosate, antagonistic tank mixes, inferior glyphosate formulation, poor water quality, incorrect adjuvants, or a combination of these can also result in poor weed control.

“To keep any herbicide as a longterm option it is essential that high-quality products are applied correctly and that survivor plants are

prevented from setting seed. Switching products is a very short-term and inadequate solution. A better strategy is to implement a diverse program of both herbicide and non-herbicide tactics and be diligent.”

Other than confirming resistance, herbicide testing is a powerful way to identify modes of action that a resistant population is susceptible to.

Growers who are confronted with patches of ‘survivor’ weeds this season can send live plant samples in for the Quick Test to identify herbicide options that could be used to prevent seed set in the current season.

If the escapes are not seen until seed has set, seed can be collected and sent to either CSU or Plant Science Consulting for testing against a wider range of herbicides, including pre-emergent herbicides.

Testing of ‘suspect’ seed samples sent to CSU last year resulted in 30 percent of populations testing positive to glyphosate resistance.

Patch management strategies such as cutting for hay, spraying out with paraquat, or chipping can be effective in containing a potential blow-out.

The WeedSmart Big 6 strategies for integrated weed management can then be implemented to apply long-term downward pressure on weed numbers.

Wide support in swine response

F

ederal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud is confident a Federal Government $66.6-million African Swine Fever response package has helped shore up Australia’s biosecurity defence system.

Mr Littleproud said a 2019 package put more biosecurity officers and detector dogs on the ground and enhanced measures in the battle to keep the disease out of Australia.

He said if ASF was to reach Australian shores and spread throughout the states and regions, including Victoria and the Wimmera, it would have a significant impact on pig health and production.

It would also have a wider economic impact through loss of access to overseas markets for Australian pork products.

“With its rapid spread through Asia, and new variants being discovered, the disease is threatening the livelihoods of millions of people globally who rely on the pork industry,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Since 2019, we have successfully strengthened Australia’s border control measures and increased targeted operations to detect non-compliance.

“We have also raised awareness of our biosecurity requirements to those travelling or mailing goods to Australia and reinforced our national preparedness.”

Mr Littleproud said a $400-million investment in biosecurity in the 2021-22 budget continued a commitment to help protect Australia from the

Wednesday, July 28, 2021

ongoing and evolving threat of ASF and other significant threats.

“Feral pigs are a major environmental and agricultural pest and would be an impediment to eradication of ASF if it were to arrive in Australia. As a result, the Australian government is supporting a range of feral-pig control measures,” he said.

“Appointment of a national feral-pig management co-ordinator and development of a national feral pig action plan is facilitating nationally coordinated management and control of feral pigs.

“In a recent thermal assisted aerial control trial, thermal cameras detected 99 percent of the 126 feral pigs killed, compared with one percent visible to the human eye.”

Mr Littleproud said through a Communities Combating Pest and Weed Impacts During Drought Program, the government had provided more than $2.6-million to eight eligible drought-affected Local Government Areas in Queensland and New South Wales for on-ground management of feral pigs, among other priority pest animals and weeds.

“Building on this work, our commitments in the 2021-22 budget will continue our efforts to reduce the economic and environmental burden of established feral animals and weeds,” he said.

“We remain committed to keeping ASF out of Australia and protecting local pork industries and international exports, while supporting land managers to better manage the impacts of feral pigs.”

COMMITTED: Judges at a 2021 Junior Show Ambassador Award State Final named Edenhope’s Elyssa Hausler a winner at Bendigo late last month.

Elyssa keen to give back Edenhope’s Elyssa Hausler believes community spirit is among the most important aspects of living in a rural area.

Her commitment to giving back to her home town won her recognition as the state’s 2021 Junior Show Ambassador last month.

Judges at the Bendigo event also announced Nhill Agricultural and Pastoral Society member Mickayla Farmers as a state finalist for the award.

Elyssa, 19, an Edenhope Agricultural and Pastoral Society member, said she had taken on various leadership positions and voluntary roles while growing up in the town.

“I’ve always enjoyed getting to know the older generation,” she said.

“Everyone knows you in

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Edenhope and it’s just nice to help out everyone else in the community.”

Elyssa said her family had a long history of volunteering its time for the agricultural society.

“It all started with my nanna helping out and flowed on to mum and then to me,” she said.

“I’ve been stewarding in the cookery section for as long as I can remember.

“My mum’s the pavilion supervisor as well, so I help out anyone who has any questions and do general errands.”

Elyssa is also involved in Edenhope-Apsley Football Netball Club and coaches Edenhope Tennis Club’s Hot Shots team.

Elyssa said her voluntary

efforts were focused on encouraging other young people to participate in their community.

“I want to find ways to keep younger people involved in the town and keep the younger generation wanting to stay in Edenhope,” she said.

The Edenhope College graduate completed her studies last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic before moving on to start an agribusiness management advanced diploma at Longerenong College.

“I’m hoping to be an agronomist,” Elyssa said.

“My brother got into the farming sector, and I thought I could do it too. I started a certificate II at school and fell in love with it.”

Ambient workhorse New engine with more power and refinement headlines LDV G10+ van

C

hinese marque LDV has announced Australian pricing and specification of its new G10+ mid-sized van, a model designed to offer more features and refinement than the standard G10 it will be sold alongside.

Priced $1579 upstream of the regular G10 line-up, all diesel versions of the G10+ have been fitted with a bigger and more potent 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine derived from the T60 pick-up

truck, with automatic versions also scoring a new eight-speed ZF transmission.

The same transmission has been mated to the ongoing turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol mill as well, however power and torque have remained steady at 165kW-330Nm. A six-speed manual is also available on the diesels, with all versions sending drive to the front wheels.

More than just a powertrain upgrade, the G10+ improves on the

standard G10’s cabin ambience with a rotary gear selector, paddle shifters, upgraded materials and improved NVH levels.

It is still ultimately a workhorse however, boasting a 5.3 cubic metre load space accessed via either a lift door or swinging barn door on the diesels – the petrol is lift door only – with a maximum payload of 1093kg.

Sliding side doors are standard on all versions.

Within the load space are multiple

tie-down points on both the floor and wheelarches for maximum load stability as well as four integrated lights to aid visibility in the dark.

Pricing starts from $34,200 drive away for the manual diesel lift door and stretches up to $36,906 drive away for the automatic diesel barn door.

LDV Automotive general manager Dinesh Chinnappa said the new G10+ demonstrated the company’s unrivalled understanding of the courier business.

“A more powerful and efficient diesel engine combined with a modern eight-speed ZF transmission makes a tough day of pick-ups and drop-off that bit easier,” he said.

LDV’s Australian arm has sold 1517 examples of the standard G10 so far this year ending June, accounting for a respectable 10.6 percent of the 2.53.5t van segment, marking a 161.6 percent improvement year-on-year.

Sharp price for Eclipse Cross PHEV

M

itsubishi will launch Australia’s cheapest plug-in hybrid, with three electrified versions of its Eclipse Cross small SUV now joining its mid-sized Outlander PHEV range next month.

Priced from $46,490 plus on-road costs, the Eclipse Cross PHEV, plugin hybrid electric vehicle, undercuts its larger Outlander PHEV sibling by $1500 and slips $100 under the Kia Niro PHEV with which it shares a segment.

The Chinese-made MG HS PHEV mid-size SUV is more expensive by $500 and Hyundai’s Ioniq PHEV small car opens $1460 higher than the electrified Eclipse Cross.

Mitsubishi’s second electrified model – third if the long-discontinued allelectric iMiEV is included – goes on sale mid August and like the Outlander, will be available in three variants.

The entry-level ES will be $46,490, the mid-spec Aspire, $49,990 and the flagship Exceed is $53,990 – all plus costs. This is $1500 less than the equivalent Outlander ES PHEV, down $2500 on the Outlander GSR and $2500 lower than the Outlander Exceed.

Like the Outlander PHEV, the new electrified Eclipse Cross is only a five-seater.

Mitsubishi’s expansion of its PHEV range reflects increasing buyer interest

MEETING DEMAND: Mitsubishi’s second electrified model – third if the long-discontinued all-electric iMiEV is included – goes on sale mid August.

in hybrids, capped last week with Toyota announcing it has sold more than 200,000 hybrids in Australia since its first Prius of 2001.

However, Toyota does not offer a plug-in hybrid in its model range.

The advantages of plugging in are a greater battery storage for a longer electric-only range.

Mitsubishi quotes an electric-only range of 55km for the Eclipse Cross PHEV, 1km more than the Outlander PHEV. The new Mitsubishi PHEV joins its

recently updated petrol-fuelled siblings that underwent revisions including a 140mm longer body that enlarges the luggage space, more safety and convenience features and a new tailgate design for better rear vision.

Its longer body, which remains on the same platform and 2670mm wheelbase, has a 359-litre cargo area, reduced from the non-PHEV car’s 405 litres because of the battery pack.

The Eclipse Cross PHEV uses the same drivetrain as the Outlander, with a 94kW-199Nm 2.4-litre petrol engine

supplemented by two electric motors operating in full EV, hybrid or petrol-only modes, driving through an automatic transmission.

It is an all-wheel drive or front-drive depending on the application of the rear-mounted electric motor.

Recharging takes as low as 25 minutes for an 80 percent charge on a rapid-charge outlet, and up to seven hours when hooked up to a standard household socket.

Like the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, the new model offers advanced

Vehicle to Home, V2H, and Vehicle to Grid, V2G, capabilities that allows the car to power external infrastructure, including a house.

The company’s Dendo rooftop solar and battery system for homes can generate, store and transfer energy between the building and a Mitsubishi PHEV via a smart-energy management system.

Because a PHEV can generate its own power when fuelled, it is also a short-term ‘generator on wheels’ in instances when power fails, such as in natural disasters.

In announcing the new PHEV line up, Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd chief executive Shaun Westcott said the arrival of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Plug-in Hybrid EV completed the renewal of the Eclipse Cross SUV range in Australia.

“It brings a proven and successful zero or low emission powertrain that will meet the real-world needs of Australian SUV buyers looking to reduce their environmental impact,” he said.

Mitsubishi sold 3521 Eclipse Cross models in the six months to June this year. This was up 67.5 percent on the same period in 2020.

The Eclipse Cross has a 5.2 percent share of the sub-$40,000 small SUV sector.

Audi details its fire-breathing RS3

T

he rabid new Audi RS3 has been unveiled in all its fivecylinder glory, the compact speed machine once again being offered in both sedan and hatch bodystyles, proving more than a match for both the Mercedes-AMG A45 S and CLA45 S twins.

UNVEILED: Audi’s new RS3 ups the ante with sportscar-scaring power, looks and performance.

Behind these alloys lurk either black or red six-piston brake callipers that act on steel discs measuring 375x36mm up front and 310x22mm at the rear.

Opting for the ceramic brake pack not only upgrades the front disc material, but also ups the size to 380x38mm, resulting in more power and better cooling abilities.

The ceramic brakes also come with grey, blue or red callipers.

As previously reported by GoAuto, the new RS3 will come as standard

with a new-age ‘torque splitter’ that completely does away with the previous model’s rear differential.

Instead, the new system features an electronically controlled multiple disc clutch on each drive shaft, both of which have an independent control unit.

Using information provided by the various driver aids, sensors and driver input, the system determines how much of the torque is sent to the outside wheel, reportedly resulting in improved steering precision, less

understeer and more corner-exit grip.

Much like Mercedes-AMG has done with its all-wheel-drive performance cars, Audi has fitted the new RS3 with a dedicated drift mode, in this case dubbed ‘RS Torque Rear’ – one of three new bespoke RS driving modes.

The others consist of ‘RS Individual’, for drivers to configure and store their preferred set-up, and RS Performance, all-out performance and maximum grip.

As usual for a modern car with sporting pretentions, the usual stack of

Due to arrive Down Under in the first half of next year, the RS3 reprises the turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder petrol engine, mated exclusively to a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.

Australian equipment details, including pricing, will be revealed in the lead-up to its launch.

With drive sent to both axles via a rear-biased quattro all-wheel-drive system, the 294kW-500Nm RS3 will slingshot from 0-100kmh in a claimed 3.8 seconds and push on a 290kmh vmax when fitted with the RS Dynamic package and ceramic brakes.

Without these two options, the top speed is limited to either 250kmh, standard, or 280kmh, the latter being its own optional extra.

The almost ludicrous performance is hinted at by the less-than-subtle RS body kit, black intake and vent mesh, gaping grille, lowered suspension, 33mm-wider tracks, increased negative wheel camber, purposefullooking LED headlights and aggressively styled 19-inch alloy wheels.

comfort, auto, dynamic and efficiency drive modes are included as well.

Unlike the bigger and more expensive RS models, the RS3 will not come as standard with adaptive dampers, but they will be available optionally.

Speaking of options, those wanting to extract every ounce of performance from their new RS3 will also be able to opt for a set of Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R performance semi-slick tyres.

The hyper-hatch features continue on the inside too, with a flat-bottom leather RS Sport multifunction steering wheel, 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit plus with RS-specific readouts and displays, manual shift light, a 10.1-inch ‘RS Monitor’ touch display, carbon-fibre instrument panel and RS sport seats.

Audi Sport managing director Sebastian Grams said the new RS3 twins represented the entry point into the RS world and delivered the ultimate in outstanding performance in the compact segment.

“With the third generation of the Audi RS3 sportback and the second generation of the Audi RS3 sedan, we now offer premium sports cars that are suitable for everyday use and equally thrilling to drive on public roads and racetracks,” he said.

I wonder as you read this – parent or child.

I wonder if you are wrestling with a secret that nobody knows about!

I bless you with knowing that God does not have the emotions of your friends, family or community.

He is not shocked when the secret is out! And he does not take sides. He wants to recover you, not blame you!

When you can’t face the community because of what you or your family have done know that you can go freely to Father God and share you pain and confusion with Him. “But Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly.”

Dreaming big

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

H

orsham triathlete Kelly Miller went from a breakthrough ironman win in 2019 to competing on the world stage at events in Hawaii and the south of France.

Full of excitement, possibilities and a commitment to endless hours of training in water, on bike and on foot, Miller was embracing all the sport had to offer.

Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Like so many sportsmen and women – amateur or professional – Miller’s best-laid plans were soon dashed.

She was due to compete in Ironman Australia’s Port Macquarie race in New South Wales on September 5, however, event organisers have announced the event will not proceed as planned, following an extension to a lockdown of Greater Sydney.

This was not the first time Miller’s plans to compete in ‘Port Mac’ had been thwarted, with last year’s event, scheduled for May, also cancelled due to the pandemic.

“Because of COVID they postponed it to September – and that didn’t happen either,” Miller said.

“So I thought I’d race in May this year, and then due to the flooding – it wasn’t even COVID – Port Mac got cancelled.”

With the event rescheduled for September this year, Miller thought she would try her luck again.

In the meantime, she was able to transfer her entry to Ironman Cairns in Queensland.

“That event actually went ahead, but it was on June 6 and that’s when we had our snap lockdown,” Miller said.

“So I missed that one too.”

Given the ‘snap’ nature of the lockdown, Miller was physically primed for the event, which involved a 3.8-kilometre swim, 180km bike ride and a

marathon – 42.2km – run. The Cairns event also acts as the Asia-Pacific Championship, with qualifying slots for next year’s Ironman World Championship in Hawaii up for grabs.

“I had completed all my training, I was on my taper week, four or five days out from the race when Victoria went into lockdown,” she said.

“I’d trained really hard for Cairns and the race still went ahead, but without Victorians, who couldn’t get there.

“A few of my team-mates left early, they crossed the border, but I couldn’t make it.”

With the Cairns event out of reach, Miller started plotting a plan C. “I thought, I’ve still got all this work and my legs and my training – what am I going to do?” she said.

“When Port Mac cancelled back in May, I thought, do I have a rest and do the race in September or do I try for Cairns?

“I thought I’d try for Cairns and then that got cancelled, so I thought I’d do plan B and do Port Mac in September.

“Now with the outbreak, that’s been cancelled.

“It’s frustrating. I’ve been able to cope with this one better than the Cairns one, I guess. The Cairns one, I was so close, but I’m really happy ironman made the call six weeks out.

“I was just starting to build my training, but now we’ve been given the notice, it’s not so bad.”

Miller will continue her daily training program, under guidance from her coach, to maintain her fitness while she decides on her next course of action.

She is considering THE a half-ironman in Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast in September, which she expects will be a last-minute decision based on restrictions at the time.

7000 “I’ll see what’s happening the week before and if Victorians can get to

Queensland then I might just book a ticket and go,” she said.

“I feel like I’ve got enough training under my belt that I could do that.”

Her ‘big hope’ is an Ironman Western Australia event in Busselton on December 5.

“I’ve signed up for that one, so if sunny coast in September doesn’t happen then I’ll just be doing another ironman build for December,” Miller said.

“I haven’t raced since Hawaii, but I’ve been training the whole time. I will keep trying until I get there.”

Running bug

Miller, 41, a mother of three, grew up with an interest in sport but concedes she was not ‘overly sporty’.

“As a little tacker I was six when I was in the Horsham swimming club, so I used to do the Wimmera champs and do the racing,” she said.

“I played table tennis for Victoria and I did a little bit of cross country at school, but I wasn’t overly sporty.”

She was bitten by the running bug after participating in a Mother’s Day Classic run in Horsham.

SERIES “It was eight kilometres and I don’t think I’d run further than five or six,”

Miller said. “I thought I’d give it a go and I ran the eight kilometres. Then I ran into Mark Pumpa and he was like, ‘Come run with the running group’, and I thought, I can’t, they’re the elite.

“Anyway, I started running with them and then thought I could do a half-marathon run. So I did that, then I did a marathon.”

Miller completed a few marathons and then gave the Horsham triathlon a whirl.

“I really liked it,” she said.

“I did the short course and then the next year I did the long course. Then I thought maybe I could do a half-ironman in Geelong with a few Horsham people.

“I went down there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Then I had a go at the ironman Australia at Port Macquarie and then the following year I did one in Ballarat and qualified for the world champs in Chattanooga in America.

“I went to that and just thought, I want to keep doing this. My aim was to try to get better. I’m more interested in that than competing against others.”

Miller’s ‘breakthrough’ win was at Port Macquarie in 2019.

She won her overall age group, 40-

45, earning her a spot at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.

“My best achievement was the ironman world champs in Kona, where I placed sixth in my age group,” Miller said.

“It was a big dream to get to Kona because you have to win an ironman to qualify for the world champs.

“That was October 9, 2019 and at the start of September the same year I raced the half-ironman in Nice in France, which was amazing.

“Combining my love of triathlon and travel, it’s been a dream, really.”

Miller’s career as a travel agent has also been affected by the pandemic and restrictions on travel.

“It’s been really tricky,” she said.

“It’s sad – really devastating. But it is what it is. Now because of the travel agency being closed, I’m in fitness, working at the YMCA.” Miller juggles work and home life along with her busy training schedule.

“I have to be careful to keep a good balance,” she said.

Top trio on display in Queensland A

BY TONY LOGAN

trio of western Victorian-owned and trained standardbreds took on the best of the best in the final night of the Queensland TAB Constellations Carnival at Albion Park on Saturday.

And although Bondi Lockdown, Kowalski Analysis and Pink Galahs never made it to the winners circle, their performances could only be admired.

Bondi Lockdown didn’t have enough speed out of the gate to take advantage of his pole draw and settled three back the pegs off the leader Lamandier – Amanda Turnbull.

When that horse handed up to well-fancied New Zealander American Dealer – Anthony Butt – Dunn’s charge was four back and by the time the $2.20 favourite Krug – Blair Orange – had made a quick forward move, ‘Bondi’ was well and truly locked down and dragged back to second last with 700 metres to go.

When finally finding clean air, the birds had well and truly flown and despite making ground three and four wide with a 56.43 half and 27.28 quarter, the runner came in fifth 10.4 metres behind American Dealer with Captain Crusader – Luke McCarthy – third.

Kowalski Analysis

Kowalski Analysis – Matty Craven – went down by a half-head in a $30,000 Group Three contest, after starting from out wide on the second line over the 1660-metre sprint.

Working forward three-wide early, up to the spot outside the leader, Kowalski Analysis found

cover at the bell when $2.80 favourite Ilikemebettor – Luke McCarthy – assumed that role but an expected tow-into-the-race never eventuated, and Craven was forced to come three wide off the speed with 400 metres to run.

With a rattling half in 54.68 seconds and scorching quarter in 26.71, Kowalski Analysis got close but not quite close enough to Uncle Shank – Pete McMullan – which had enjoyed the run of the race throughout.

Pink Galahs

Pink Galahs – Matty Craven – was beaten but far from disgraced when finishing third to Tough Monarch – Anthony Butt – and Humble Ladd – Luke McCarthy – in the $50,000 Queensland Trotters Cup. While most were hoping to see the famous Maoris Idol silks again to the fore, a tough draw over 2138 metres against the likes of Group One star Tough Monarch, 28 wins, $476,184, proved a bridge too far on the night.

The small girl with a huge heart has raced on seven consecutive Saturday nights with a 1900-kilometre road trip north from Terang sandwiched between.

Respected Sky Channel and TAB analysist Adam Hamilton best summed it up: “The darling of Aussie trotting added so much excitement and flair to the winter carnival. Her sparkling brilliance through wins in two heats and the final of the Darrell Alexander series was something special.”

We wish Dunn and Craven safe passage home with their teams and look forward to seeing their equine stars back on the track come springtime.

RUN HORSHAM: Horsham’s Hugo Hopper was planning to complete a Run Melbourne event at the weekend, but it was one of many casualties of a statewide COVID-19 lockdown and has been postponed to 2022. Unperturbed, Hugo decided to pound the pavement in Horsham instead, with support from his parents Nerissa and Ash Hopper, left, and friend Tracey Pitts. The ‘physically distanced’ support crew completed the challenge on bikes.

All eyes on rower Lucy T

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

he Wimmera will be cheering on Nhill rower Lucy Stephan today as she and her team-mates compete for Olympic gold in Tokyo.

Stephan’s women’s coxless four team is favourite to win the A-final, scheduled for 10.50am AEST. The Aussies won their heat, performing strongly against crews from Ireland, Romania, USA and Denmark to win in an Olympic best time of six minutes and 28.76 seconds.

This is Stephan’s second Olympics campaign, after her women’s eights crew was called to Rio with a fortnight’s notice in 2016.

The team finished fifth in its heat.

Stephan is a decorated rower, most notably winning gold at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Europe.

Nhill Pharmacy staff are among those closely watching and cheering on their ‘home-town hero’. They have decorated the store in honour of Stephan’s Olympics campaign.

Ararat cyclist Lucas Hamilton made his Olympics debut on day one of the games, competing in the men’s road race, after a late call-up to the team.

Hamilton replaced national road champion Cameron Meyer, who withdrew for family reasons.

Hamilton, 25, headed to Tokyo from the Tour de France. Despite winning selection to the team, his Olympic debut was under

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER a cloud following a shoulder injury in stage 13 of the tour.

Luckily, he healed in time to tackle the 244-kilometre course, incorporating more than 4800 metres of elevation on the slopes of Mount Fuji.

Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz won gold, while Hamilton finished the race in 71st spot, one ahead of team-mate Luke Durbridge.

Australia’s strongest hope in the race, Richie Porte, finished 48th.

Hamilton said he was still coming to terms with making his Olympic and Tour de France debuts in the past month, following a ‘brutal’ race in Tokyo.

“Solid way to start, a really hard day, the strongest guy won today, the humidity and course it was solid,” Hamilton said.

“It was only three of us and Durbo did a job for 10 men, and we did the best we could.”

Hamilton has stepped up his leadership roles this year and enjoyed a successful 2021, finishing in the top 10 overall at three WorldTour stage races.

Ex-Horsham cyclists Tim Decker and Jason Niblett are also involved in this year’s games, as coaches for Australian and Japanese track teams respectively.

Blair in squad Horsham wheelchair basketball star Jannik Blair is also headed to Tokyo after winning selection in the final Australian Rollers squad.

The Rollers are determined to return to the podium in 2021 after finishing sixth at the Rio games in 2016.

Blair, a two-time Paralympian, was also part of the Rollers’ silver-medal winning team at the London games in 2012.

All go, need for final checks Leaders in mainstream community sport across the region were last night again assessing circumstances as Victoria emerged from the latest COVID-19 lockdown.

Community sport is allowed to resume this weekend but only with players and people required to run games. Spectators are banned.

The rules heavily influence regional football, netball and hockey, which usually require several people and fans to function appropriately.

Wimmera and Horsham District football and netball leagues, if they follow directives established earlier in the season, will go ahead this weekend.

Horsham District league, which met Monday night, has already confirmed games will go ahead, while Wimmera league officials were set to shore up a decision in a meeting with club presidents last night.

Wimmera Hockey Association and Mininera and District Football League leaders were also among sporting administrators assessing circumstances late yesterday.

AFL Wimmera Mallee region manager Jason Muldoon said restrictive activities directive details from the State Government were likely to

be available this morning.

“That will provide us with the finer details of what can and can’t happen and hopefully we can dissect what it means for football and netball,” he said.

Wimmera and Horsham District officials, trying to navigate through a COVID-affected season, are trying to reach a milestone, where every team has played each other at least once.

Horsham District league will reach the milestone this weekend and Wimmera the following weekend. If they can get through a first full round of games, it will legitimise their seasons and finals can proceed with relative normality.

Horsham District league chairman Fred Mellington, confirming the go-ahead for his competitions, said the league had to grasp every opportunity to play.

“The past fortnight has shown we can’t take anything for granted. The players I’ve spoken to are desperate to get back into it,” he said.

“The bottom line is we have to play while we can.”

Wimmera league chair Pauline Butler said last night’s gathering was to assess the situation.

“We wanted to consult with club presidents before we put the message out,” she said.

REMAINING FIT: Phantoms volleyballers Jack Hannan, left, and Nathan Berry have adopted physically distanced training methods during the latest COVID-19 lockdown.

Keeping active H

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham state-level volleyball players are concentrating on remaining fit while waiting to see what the future has in store for this year’s competition.

Nathan Berry and Jack Hannan are among Phantoms players keen to resume a promising Victorian Volleyball League season.

Volleyball, like all sports, is in limbo due to a statewide COVID-19 lockdown – which finished today – and is awaiting further direction from government and league leaders.

Berry said volleyballers had been doing their best to keep active at home during the lockdown.

“It’s really hard on everyone when we can’t do what we normally do,” he said.

“It makes it hard to keep up with fitness.

“I’m sure me and the rest of the team, individually we’re trying to keep moving and keep physically active.”

Hannan said he was keen to resume the season.

“We’re about halfway through,” he said.

“We’re in a holding pattern because most of the teams are Melbourne-based.

“We’re waiting for all of that to clear up so we

can actually travel and get them to come to us, so we can finish off our season.

“We’ve only got six games left.

“The season has already been pushed pretty far, so I’m not sure what’s going to happen. We’ll just have to see how it plays out.”

Berry said the club’s premier men were enjoying a promising season, despite pandemicrelated interruptions.

“We’ve had four wins and three losses, which is better than other years,” he said.

“It’s not the best team but it’s definitely up there with the best premier men’s team that we’ve had.

“The younger blokes in the team are really, really stepping up, which is always good to see.

They’re keen. Whenever we can train as a team, they are always there.”

Hannan said Phantoms Volleyball Club players primarily hailed from Bendigo, Mildura and Horsham.

“We have a couple from Melbourne who are coming up every week to play,” he said.

“They’re from Bendigo originally but they’ve moved away for uni.”
