Farmers got off to a reasonably early start this season and although winter frosts might have slowed growth, timely spring rain has many of the region’s farmers anticipating a bumper harvest. While growing conditions usually differ considerably north, south, east and west of Horsham, farmers in all directions are smiling. Campbell Ellifson, who farms at Laharum, believes this season is ‘up there’ among the better ones he has experienced on his property.

He said a dry winter and wet spring had provided a ‘dream run’. “Rain events during spring might cause a few issues, but that’s a good problem to have,” he said. “I don’t think you’ll find any angry farmers around.” Mr Ellifson said Laharum farmers had enjoyed a ‘very good run’ for the past 10 to 20 years. “It’s a normal season for us, really,” he said. “Commodity prices are good, interest rates are going down – you can’t get any better.” Murtoa farmer John Delahunty said a ‘nice, cool finish’ would help the region’s growers reap rewards this harvest. “It looks a picture at the moment. It’s as good a year as last year, potentially,” he said.

“Everything is still so green at the moment, but it will turn soon enough. “We were very lucky to get the rain at the right time of the year, because it was such a dry June and July as well. “Most of the district looks fantastic. “Even up in NSW it looks like they’re shaping up to have a really good year – all of the east coast really, which is great. “Everyone’s itching to get into harvest here, which will probably be here in four or five weeks.” Natimuk’s Carl Sudholz expects to windrow his canola crop overlooking picturesque Mt Arapiles in the next two to three weeks. “After that, we will harvest from midNovember onwards,” he said.

Expanding portfolio in tough times BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera-based company Oscar Group Australia is continuing to add to its diverse business portfolio despite economic pressures created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Oscar Group directors last week signed off on a deal to buy a bed and mattress manufacturing business in Melbourne, a little more than 12 months after purchasing Adelaide-based Lanfranco Furniture. Oscar Group company director Daniel Op de Coul said while pandemic conditions had hit many industries hard, demand for furniture and homewares had soared. “People haven’t been able to go anywhere and are working from home a lot more and want to be comfortable,” he said. “A lot of people are taking money they would usually spend on holidays or social outings and putting it towards items for the home. “We’re quite fortunate that the

furniture industry is booming at the moment, with the exception of Melbourne retailers due to lockdowns. “Hopefully those businesses will be able to get back up and running soon.” The Oscar Group designs, manufactures, sells and services a range of products under its Oscar Furniture, Oscar Building, Oscar Commercial, Country Care Horsham, Lanfranco Furniture and Trop-Pods brands. Mr Op de Coul said throughout the past few years he had noticed a bigger emphasis on buying Australian-made products.

Australian made

He said Oscar Group was passionate about the Australian manufacturing industry, a key factor in the company’s decision to buy Melbourne-based BedMaster Bedding. The sale included ownership of BedMaster, Sleep Solutions and Perfect Quilting brands and an Airport West manufacturing plant. Mr Op de Coul said the sale had been on the cards since January.

“It’s been a lengthy process,” he said. “Because of COVID-19 we had to postpone some of the business dealings, which made things challenging. “We had to do a lot of the negotiating remotely, which isn’t usually how we do things. “Despite this, we are happy to have the deal completed and we are really excited about how things are going at the moment. “We bought Lanfranco Furniture in July last year and it’s going really well. “Throughout the pandemic we’ve gone from 32 staff over there to 40, with the surge in demand. “Both Lanfranco Furniture and BedMaster Bedding were family owned and run businesses. The owners had worked hard for so many years and were ready to retire and were facing the challenge of whether they sold their business or closed it. “At the end of the day they didn’t want their staff to lose their jobs, but finding a buyer for a manufacturing

business can be difficult. We saw it as a good opportunity for us and it’s worked out really well for everyone involved.” Oscar Group Australia is also a family company, with Mr Op de Coul working alongside his father, Anthony, and brother, Matthew. He said he enjoyed looking into opportunities to expand and strengthen the organisation, while continuing to provide local jobs and quality products. Mr Op de Coul said the company’s Horsham manufacturing business was still going strong. “We’ve added a few extra roles at the moment and we plan to keep expanding it,” he said. The group is developing a new product line for its Oscar Furniture brand, a high-end electric home-care bed, which will be produced by its Horsham-based steel fabrication team. “It tied in well with the purchase of BedMaster,” Mr Op de Coul said. “We’ve had a lot of good feedback from customers, who think it will be

a fairly successful product range, so we’re really excited about the potential there.” The Oscar Group is also creating products for the tourism industry, which has been heavily affected by travel restrictions. The group has a joint venture with Adelaide-based Troppo architects called ‘trop_pods’ eco tourism huts. “They are small, self-contained units designed to fit into the bush environment,” Mr Op de Coul said. “We are involved in a couple of tourism projects in the Northern Territory and South Australia and we have a few trop_pods waiting to be delivered, but we can’t get them across the border just yet. “We have a few different things in the works. We’re very lucky, because we have a great team of people and our businesses cover several different industries. “Even though they are all linked in some way, it helps spread the risk so we don’t have all of our eggs in one basket.”

In good spirit Halloween has always been a special occasion for California native Stina Oliver, who grew up carving pumpkins, decorating her house in ‘spooky’ themes and trick-or-treating. This Halloween will be extra special, because she is due to marry her fiancé Rob Holt in Horsham on Saturday. The Holt family, which includes Alexis, 15, Pamela, 13, Willie, 8, and Joe, 6, has been busy decorating ahead of All Hallows’ Eve. Stina said Halloween was a ‘big deal’ in the United States. “It’s a fun thing for kids to get over being afraid of monsters, because they kind of see the silliness in it,” she said. “And of course, there’s candy.” Stina said she was surprised to discover Halloween was decidedly less popular in Australia. “It’s definitely a little bit of a shock to the system because I’m used to walking into stores and seeing

an entire Halloween section and we’ve had to hunt around to find all these different pieces for our house,” she said. “I think we went to five or six different shops to get everything.” Stina said she had enjoyed sharing her tradition with her family. “The kids have loved it. They’ve been scaring their friends – it’s been great,” she said. “We think Halloween is for everyone and we do it for everyone – we want everyone to get into the spirit of it.” She said she was excited to officially become ‘Stina Holt’. “Rob and I have been together for two years and my daughters and I moved here a year ago,” she said. “We’re going to have a small wedding in Horsham, because no one can travel. “We thought Halloween was a good time to get married. In the spirit of it all, SPOOKY CELEBRATION: Rob and Stina Holt and their children Pamela, 13, Alexis, 15, Willie, 8, and Joe, 6, have decked out we decided to go all out.” their Horsham house for Halloween. Stina, from California, and Rob will get married this Saturday, October 31 – Halloween. – Sarah Matthews Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Venues welcome live music option BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera venues have rejoiced at the promise of a return to live music and are already planning their first shows following changes to COVID-19 restrictions that start today.

Live music can resume as part of outdoor hospitality for seated crowds of up to 70 people. Horsham Sports and Community Club manager Glenn Carroll said the changes would allow his venue to restart live performances for a crowd of up to 65 people. “We’re allowed to have a musician play outside in our marquee,” he said. “We already have some plans around Christmas and New Year, but we’ll probably do something before then too.” During the pandemic, Mr Carroll livestreamed performances from Wimmera musicians to the venue’s Facebook page to capture online crowds. This will be the first time since March the venue can look at revisiting live music. “There’s a big part of the community that want to get back to something that’s a little bit normal, so getting back into some live music would be great,” Mr Carroll said. “Everyone who was a musician was out of a job. “A lot of people I have spoken to are just keen to get out and do something again, dust off the cobwebs and get the instruments out and get the vocal cords going.” Horsham Bull and Mouth owner Simon Mitchell said he was excited to

WELCOME BACK: Planet Feel Good owner Lisa Cosson will complement face-to-face gym sessions with online sessions. Her gym can reopen to 10 people. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER see a return of live music – a key part of his hospitality venue. “We’ll be looking to put on some live entertainment on Sunday afternoons in the beer garden,” he said. “We’re limited to 70, on a Sunday afternoon if you got 70, you’d be very happy. “It will be low key, mainly acoustic and solo artists.” Mr Mitchell said he looked forward to when he could see people on the dance floor again. “It will be great when we can get dancing and mingling, but that will come with time and when it does,

we’ll get right into it,” he said. “Hopefully it’s before Christmas.” Along with live music, indoor gyms and fitness spaces can open for up to 20 people, with a maximum of 10 people per space and a density of one person per eight square metres. Indoor pools will open to 20, indoor sport will begin for those 18 and under and food courts can open. Horsham’s Snap Fitness club manager Jacqui Monro said her gym could accommodate the maximum number of people under the new restrictions. “We are just super excited to bring people back into the club. We will

Markets back on calendar The Wimmera’s market scene is slowly re-establishing itself amid easing pandemic restrictions, with events planned for Natimuk, Halls Gap and Dimboola at the weekend. Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Judith Bysouth said she was excited to reconnect with stallholders and patrons on Sunday. The society will host a Natimuk Farmers Market from 10am to 1.30pm at the town’s showground. “We relocated the market to the showground at the request of Horsham Rural City Council,” Mrs Bysouth said. “All COVID rules will apply, such as masks, social distancing, hand sanitiser and people will be required to sign in.” Mrs Bysouth said tickets for a Natimuk Showground user group Christmas raffle would be on sale at the market, with money raised to go towards a pavilion upgrade. Tickets cost $2 and Mrs Bysouth said organ-

isers would launch the raffle at Horsham Plaza this week. Halls Gap Primary School Market will host more than 50 stalls between 9am and 1pm on Sunday. Organisers have relocated the market from the school to Halls Gap Recreation Reserve. The market, which includes regional produce, craft, jewellery, clothing, art, homewares and more, raises money for the school. Dimboola Jellex Market leaders will also host a market on Sunday following the success of an inaugural event earlier this month. The boutique market, which runs from 9am to 1pm, will feature several new stalls, with organisers keen to offer different line-ups each time. Haven Market will return the following weekend, on November 7. Jung Market organising committee has decided to continue to put events on hold, as a safety measure. – Sarah Matthews

safely be able to accommodate 20 people,” she said. “We will be reopening as a 24-7 gym again. We will have a booking system just to ensure people can have a designated spot.” Ms Monro said the reopening would be a major boost to people’s mental health and wellbeing. “It’s not just for the physical side, it’s for that mental and emotional space as well,” she said. Ms Monro said it would be up to the community to follow restrictions to ensure the gym could operate in a ‘COVID-safe’ way.

“It is really just up to members to use their common sense and social responsibility around working out,” she said. “We’ll be in the club to help guide those things because it is a new learning process we have to go through.” Meanwhile, smaller capacity clubs such as Horsham’s Planet Feel Good can reopen to 10 people. However, owner Lisa Cosson said she would complement face-to-face gym sessions with online sessions called ‘ZOOMroom’, which she started during the pandemic. “For my club it will be fine because we don’t have big numbers anyway,” she said. “Ten for us is a good number and our rooms are certainly big enough to do that. We will also have our ZOOMroom at the same time, so we can service double the number of people.” Ms Cosson said an additional benefit of going online was that people across the state could get involved. “We have a lot of members who live out of town, some from Melbourne who are in lockdown are now tuning into our online exercise room,” she said. “We’ve certainly learnt a lot of lessons through this time and there will be a lot that stays when we get back to COVID-normal.” Horsham Aquatic Centre is hoping to reopen its gym and indoor swimming pool by the end of this week. The Premier’s announcement on Sunday also means school graduations can go ahead within school communities and 20 people can now gather for indoor religious celebrations with their faith leader – or 50 outdoors.

‘UP THERE’: Campbell and Alex Ellifson in their RockStar wheat crop at Laharum.

Farmers reap rewards From page 1 “We usually finish around the middle of January,” Mr Sudholz said. “Hopefully the rains can dry up and let us get into the harvest and not have a rain-affected harvest.” Mr Sudholz echoed other farmers around the region in saying spring rain was extremely beneficial. “We’ve had a very favourable season this year,” he said. “We had a dry winter, but spring has turned up and the La Niña rains have arrived. “Generally, we’ve had plenty of opportunity to get all the required nitrogen on the crops, the fungicides all went out in a timely manner and things are looking exceptionally good.” Mr Sudholz said despite his confidence, he POSITIVE: Murtoa farmer John Delahunty and his son Harry, 2, in a barley crop.

years – we’ve had three or four good years previous to this one,” he said. “We’ve been fortunate with the season so far.” Grain-receival sites in the region, including Viterra at Dooen, have been preparing for a busy harvest period. Adelaide region operations manager Neil Carr said harvest recruitment was on track, with about 50 seasonal roles at Dooen. “We have a combination of new and returning employees starting on-site training and some completing medicals and on-boarding,” he said. “We’ve also invested in road upgrades as part of our continued investment into our sites. “The season is looking promising and feedback from growers is that it will be more positive than last harvest. “We will work with growers throughout the season to understand their needs and to match opening hours to when they plan to deliver.”

Police move on camp as work starts E

BY DYLAN DE JONG

nvironmental and First Nations protestors are desperate to prevent works going ahead at the site of a major highway project south of Ararat.

Early on Tuesday morning police and private security moved on a camp where Djab Wurrung Heritage Protection Embassy members have been camped at since 2018. The group was at its main base defending a ‘Grandmother’ and ‘Grandfather’ tree from being cut down as part of a Major Road Projects Victoria Western Highway duplication project. Embassy members responded to project workers with tactics such as car blockades, tree sits and locking on to machinery. Several trees, including a ‘Directions’ tree, were cut down on Monday as part of the project. Embassy member Manju Larech was among demonstrators who joined in efforts to prevent works going ahead. She told The Weekly Advertiser early Tuesday morning more than 50 police and private security guards clashed with the group. “There have been violent arrests already and we’ve got car blockades and people doing tree sits and locking onto machinery,” she said. “There’s a bunch of us sitting in a line to protect a pair of birthing trees here at the top and there’s about 50 police officers and lots of security coming in.” She said project workers had already cut down a significant tree at a ‘women’s’ camp. “They have taken over the women’s camp and cut down a Directions tree on Monday and they’re planning to cut down a Grandfather tree at the camp,” she said. “What we have been doing is delaying

the works as much as possible.” The embassy put out a ‘red alert’ warning on its Facebook page early Monday morning that asked people across the state to join the efforts. The post indicated where police checkpoints were across Melbourne municipalities and notified people of documentation that could help ‘validate’ their presence at the site.

Compassionate

Ms Larech moved from Melbourne under ‘compassionate’ grounds more than two weeks ago to assist with efforts. “I’ve been following this for a while online and through social media and I knew people that had come out here before,” she said. “We’re here for compassionate reasons to support the mob. Legally you’re allowed to come out of Melbourne for that reason – we all have residence papers that prove that we are living here.” Ms Larech said she made the move out to the camp for environmental interests. “For me, this ties a lot into conservation and preventing climate change. To me indigenous peoples are the key to the climate action movement going forward. They know the land best and it should be in their hands,” she said. “I’m just doing whatever I can to support the mob in the face of blatant disrespect for their land and culture. “Major Road Projects Victoria seems to not have as much regard as they pretend to have for the indigenous land rights. “The fact that it was even an option to begin with to cut down these 800-yearold birthing trees on women’s country is a disgrace.” The Weekly Advertiser contacted Victoria Police, who responded with the following statement on Monday afternoon: “Police

have a strong dedicated presence along the Western Highway today as part of an operation to remove camps and protestors from restricted areas as highway construction work continues between Buangor and Ararat. “General duties police are being supported by units from the Highway Patrol and specialist support units to ensure the safety of all people in the area. “Victoria Police respects people’s right to protest peacefully and are there to ensure no breaches of the peace or antisocial behaviour occurs as a result of protest action at the site.” The Weekly Advertiser contacted Major Road Projects Victoria, to which a State Government spokesperson responded. The spokesperson said since works on the site started in late September, there had been several clashes between project opponents and police, including several arrests. “We’ve listened to Aboriginal voices every step of the way,” the spokesperson said. “The project’s design has been approved by both relevant Traditional Owner Groups, an independent Environment Effects Statement process, the Supreme Court, the Federal Environment Minister and the Victorian Ombudsman.” The spokesperson said there had been more than 100 crashes on the Western Highway between Ballarat and Stawell in recent years, including 11 deaths and more than 50 serious injuries. “We’re getting on with this urgent safety upgrade that will save lives,” they said. VicRoads closed the Western Highway in both directions between Ararat and Ballarat due to a police request on Tuesday in response to protests. Late yesterday, 25 protesters had been arrested at the site.

Need for ‘balance’ A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

n on-country manager is urging climbers and Natimuk residents to be patient as archaeological surveys starting today see popular rock climbing sites closed until mid-2021.

Barengi Gadjin Land Council on-country operations manager Stuart Harradine has stressed temporary closures at six sites in Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park and Black Range State Park, south of Horsham, would not mark an end to recreational climbing. BGLC will complete archaeological assessments of stone quarry sites where tools, such as sharp-edged knives and spear-heads for cutting and hunting, were manufactured. An outpouring of anxiety from Natimuk residents and climbers across Australia followed the announcement last week, which will see iconic climbing areas such as a 200-metre section along the base of Arapiles known as Tiger Wall, closed. The closures also include other areas known to climbers as Mr Chicken, Plaque Wall and Lil Lil. Mr Harradine said the land council would work with the Natimuk community and climbers to ensure climbing could co-exist alongside the protected sites. “We want to make the message really clear, we’re not about closing down recreational activities. We want to find a balance,” he said. “We want to do these assessments as soon as possible so we can provide certainty around where people can climb.” The land council has been working

with Gariwerd Wimmera Reconciliation Network to help identify popular climbing routes. Mr Harradine said this process would help to provide a solution that worked for both climbers and Traditional Owners. “The network is providing us with very good information in relation to where climbs are so that we can make informed decisions around both the site protection as well as where recreational activities can still occur,” he said. Mr Harradine said it would be crucial that First Nations people play a key role in the reidentification and protection of cultural heritage at Mount Arapiles. “We’re talking about places that have been there for potentially thousands of years. They are of huge historical, cultural and spiritual importance to our people. It’s actually really hard to fully express this to non-Aboriginal people,” he said. “I hear climbers say they don’t understand what we’re protecting. With rock-art sites it seems fairly simple and clear, but when we talk about quarry sites climbers might look at that as different. But even under the Aboriginal Heritage Act, all sites are of equal status. A rock-art site is as important as a quarry site in terms of protection.”

‘Devasting blow’

Veteran climber and Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park Advisory committee member Keith Lockwood said the closures were a ‘devastating blow’ for Natimuk and climbers across Australia. Mr Lockwood argued that climbers

must be part of the decision-making process. “There’s no room for negotiation at all on it,” he said. “The Natimuk community, the Victorian Climbing Club and the advisory group should be at the forefront of the investigation, the consultations and the decision making, rather than being dictated to at the end,” he said. “That’s where goodwill falls down. If we could talk to them before the gate shuts and the decisions are made, the community would welcome and accept change.” Mr Lockwood said the predominant style of climbing people partook in at Mount Arapiles, known as traditional climbing, was harmless to the rock. “That gear is retrieved and reused after the climb and leaves the rock untouched,” he said. “I’ve been going out there for 60 years and the only damage I see is from natural occurrences when there’s erosion from a sudden flood and rocks get washed from ledges, from bushfires, or wildlife such as kangaroos that are leading contributors to any damage out there.” Mr Lockwood said he was ‘deeply concerned’ with how the closures would impact Natimuk community economically. “Tiger Wall is the biggest cliff at Arapiles, it has a tremendous number of classic climbs,” he said. “We’re confronted with these blanket bans and these huge fines if anyone steps out of line. There’s a huge impact on the economy of Natimuk and the livelihoods of many people in Natimuk.”

NEW SURROUNDINGS: Hindmarsh Shire Libraries staff are celebrating the start of a new era after opening the service’s doors to the public for the first time on Tuesday. Library services co-ordinator Whitney Kingston – pictured at Dimboola’s new library with library service officer Cameron Ruwoldt – said COVID-19 pandemic restrictions meant the organisation was unable to open its doors to the public since bringing libraries ‘in house’ on July 1. “As soon as we were able to, Hindmarsh Shire Libraries offered members of the public ‘click and collect services’, allowing people to stay connected to their new library service,” she said. “The opportunity to finally be able to open the doors to our members and community is incredibly exciting and rewarding.” Library opening hours are available on Hindmarsh Shire Council’s website, hindmarsh.vic.gov. au. “We encourage the community to pop in and check out our new Dimboola Library and the recently updated Nhill Library,” Mrs Kingston said. “Micro libraries have also been established at Jeparit and Rainbow until we are able to open updated and new libraries to the Jeparit and Rainbow community.” Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

‘Erring on the side of caution’ E

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ast Grampians Health Service leaders have urged Ararat district residents with any symptoms of coronavirus – no matter how mild – to get tested, after viral fragments were detected in the city’s wastewater.

Chief executive Andrew Freeman said a pop-up testing clinic at Ararat hospital went ‘very well’, with 149 people tested from lunch time on Friday through to Sunday evening. “We kept the clinic open on Monday because we thought there might be a bit of a rush, with people maybe back from holidays for the long weekend,” he said. “We had 37 people through on Monday morning.” Throughout the four days, the service completed 197 COVID-19 tests at the Patricia Hinchey Centre. Mr Freeman said all tests completed at the pop-up clinic returned negative results for coronavirus. He said he was pleased with the

community’s response to the testing plea. “Some weekends we might test between 20 and 30 people,” he said. “In comparison, from 20-30 to 150 is probably five or six times higher than usual, which is great. “We thank the community for listening and coming forward and being tested.” Department of Health and Human Services, DHHS, leaders on Friday announced they were not aware of any Ararat Rural City residents who had a recent COVID-19 illness or diagnosis. Fragments of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus, have also been detected in untreated wastewater samples collected in recent days from wastewater treatment plants at Colac, Gisborne, Kilmore and Shepparton where there are known residents with recent infections. Victorian Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said while the test results might not mean the communities had active COVID-19 cases, DHHS had

“Regardless of what further testing happens with the wastewater, we encourage people with the mildest of symptoms to come forward and get tested”

– Andrew Freeman

increased testing with local health services and taken further wastewater samples. He said people who have had coronavirus might shed the virus or virus fragments for several weeks on used tissues, off their hands and skin when washing, and in their stool, well beyond their infectious period. “Wastewater testing may indicate there are undiagnosed cases of coronavirus – COVID-19 – in Ararat and we are erring on the side of caution by increasing the availability of testing in the area,” he said. “Anyone feeling unwell with even the mildest of symptoms should get tested as soon as possible and isolate as they wait for their result.”

Wastewater testing provides an additional and complementary tool to the existing public health response and can provide early warning that coronavirus is in a community. Victoria this month increased its surveillance of wastewater. Samples are now taken from 42 wastewater treatment plants across Victoria with additional sites recently at Bacchus Marsh, Bairnsdale, Cowes, Gisborne, Hamilton, Horsham, Kilmore, Melton, Portland and Warrnambool. Professor Sutton said finding cases early could help the department’s disease detectives track the spread of the virus and implement strategies to minimise transmission. He said the preliminary positive test result from Ararat was unexpected, with no known recent cases of coronavirus in the area. He said as with all wastewater testing, it might be because a resident was shedding the virus, or a visitor to the area. Mr Freeman said his ‘preference’

FIVE-DAY forecast

was the viral fragments belonged to ‘someone travelling through the town’. “That certainly is one of the options on the table, as to why there was a positive result with the viral fragments,” he said. “But if there is an individual in the Ararat community who is positive, it is about them coming forward and being tested so we can identify them. “It’s not about panicking. We’ll cross that bridge if there is a person with a positive result out there – we would just like to know. “Regardless of what further testing happens with the wastewater, we encourage people with the mildest of symptoms to come forward and get tested.” East Grampians Health Service’s walk-in clinic is now closed, but testing has resumed at a daily clinic in the hospital’s car park. The clinic will be open from 1pm to 3pm and people seeking testing must call 5352 9532 for an appointment.

New campaign ‘up in lights’

oolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative has launched a campaign showcasing the bond between mother and child to help tackle indigenous smoking in the region.

Throughout the next few months, Horsham residents and visitors will see images of regional indigenous mothers and babies ‘up in lights’ on an advertising wall on the corner of Firebrace Street and Roberts Avenue. Co-operative cultural officer and early years worker Tanisha Lovett, who lent her artistic talent to the billboards’ designs, said the images portrayed the strong bond between mother and child. She said the billboards were designed to promote harmful effects smoking had on the health of both mother and child during and after pregnancy. “It has been an amazing campaign to work on,” she said. “Initially, four local indigenous women were chosen to launch this campaign. “These women are representing stages of pregnancy and parenthood of infants and also toddler-aged children. “We believe this campaign will be successful and I am already planning the photography of more local indigenous identities for future health-promotion campaigns.” Young mother Alicia Albanese, a proud Yorta-Yorta woman, was the first ‘champion’ chosen for the billboards. The image depicts Alicia in a warm embrace with her infant daughter, Elise. “It’s great to represent our family, our mob and the local indigenous community in such a public way,” she said.

The billboard images and messages will accompany a social media and website campaign called GOMOB! The GOMOB! branding – created by Goolum Goolum – represents indigenous healthy lifestyle activities throughout greater western Victoria. Health and wellbeing programs manager Dean O’Loughlin said the organisation was working with Aboriginal health services to enhance health outcomes for members of the indigenous community. He said the co-operative was proud to launch the new campaign as part of ongoing Tackling Indigenous Smoking health-promotion activities developed in response to findings published in the current Closing the Gap report. Mr O’Loughlin said the report showed since 2006, there had been an improvement in indigenous mortality rates, driven primarily by improvements in one of the leading causes of death – circulatory disease. He said, however, non-indigenous mortality rates had improved at a similar pace and the gap had not narrowed. “Of concern is a worsening of cancer mortality rates,” he said. “The Tackling Indigenous Smoking program seeks to address smoking-related cancer and other diseases. “It is also Aboriginal-led, community focused and place-based. Local campaigns, such as this new initiative, use the experience of local residents and transform community members into champions.” He said the new anti-smoking campaign would feature heavily on the GOMOB! website, gomob.com.au, and Goolum Goolum social media platforms.

ENTHUSIASTIC: Jack Oswald will lead the team at the Willaura-Lake Bolac Community Bank.

New face to lead bank branch Willaura-Lake Bolac Community Bank has welcomed a new branch manager, Jack Oswald. Bank chairman Colin McKenzie said he was thrilled to announce the appointment of such a ‘competent and enthusiastic’ manager. “Jack’s warm and welcoming attitude has been well received by the local community,” he said. “Board directors are excited for Jack to lead the bank into the future.” Originally from Adelaide, Mr Oswald moved to Hamilton in 2000 where he completed school at Monivae College. He joins the Willaura-Lake Bolac bank with up to five years of finance and banking experience with Bendigo Bank in

Hamilton, including roles as a senior customer service officer and customer relationship officer. Mr Oswald also spent six months at the Portland branch as a customer relationship manager. In his spare time, he enjoys playing senior football for Glenthompson-Dunkeld Football Netball Club, working out in the gym and renovating his house. “I am really enthusiastic about the branch manager role,” Mr Oswald said. “I have settled in very quickly with help from the amazing team and meeting some of the Willaura and Lake Bolac customers. “Given the current situation

with the pandemic it has put a hold on many community events but I am looking forward to the time when we are able to engage with community groups and meet even more people from around the area.” Mr McKenzie encouraged people yet to meet Mr Oswald to call into the branch to say hello. “Jack brings with him local knowledge of our communities, enthusiasm for the agricultural industry and a great understanding of all things banking,” he said. “He is looking forward to working with the strong and passionate team at the WillauraLake Bolac Community Bank and connecting with local people.”

Farm crime on rise BY DYLAN DE JONG

senior Wimmera police officer is urging farmers to remain vigilant and protect their assets as crime on agricultural properties increases across Victoria.

Stawell Senior Sergeant Simon Grant was appointed as a liaison officer to a dedicated farm crime prevention unit more than a year ago. The unit investigates crimes where offenders target farms to steal livestock, equipment, machinery, fuel, hay, wool and firearms. Victoria’s Crime Statistics Agency shows criminal offences reported at agricultural properties increased by 12 percent between March 2019 and March 2020, despite efforts from the unit. There were more than 37 offences of livestock theft across Horsham, Hindmarsh, West Wimmera, Yarriambiack, Ararat and Northern Grampians municipalities between July 2019 and June 2020. In September last year, Victoria Police added a team of 70 Farm Crime Liaison Officers, FLCOs, to the specialist unit that is headed by farm crime co-ordinator Inspector Karl Curran. Snr Sgt Grant was appointed an FLCO for Western Region division four as part of the unit, which covers farms from Ararat to the South Australian border. He said increased rates of crime in the past year were likely a product of more reporting following a stronger focus on encouraging farmers to speak out.

KINDNESS IN A CUP: Deb Jackson serves up two coffees at Deb’s Diner in Ararat supporting Resilience Ararat’s #beanresilient campaign.

“The increase in crime is likely a result of the work we’ve been doing to encourage people to report it. It’s difficult to measure the effect the farm crime unit has had on driving down crime. But in the Wimmera, we were really active in this space, even before the unit was formed ” “The increase in crime is likely a result of the work we’ve been doing to encourage people to report it,” he said. “It’s difficult to measure the effect the farm crime unit has had on driving down crime. But in the Wimmera, we were really active in this space, even before the unit was formed. “We will continue to promote reporting and awareness and inform rural communities of the issues affecting them. “The message is, if you see something suspicious, or you think you have been a victim of crime, report it to the police. “If we don’t know about the crime, we can’t act on it.” Snr Sgt Grant said since his appointment last year, he had investigated a diverse range of crime on farms, from theft to destruction of property. “In recent times there was a whole canola crop wiped out after some water was contaminated with a chemical,” he said. “That was a significant impact to the farmer, who lost an entire crop. “There was an incident north of Nhill where a significant number of sheep were stolen. “There was also grain stolen from a silo at Lake Bolac, and in recent

– Senior Sergeant Simon Grant times we’ve seen chemical being stolen from suppliers.” Snr Sgt Grant said while criminals generally targeted livestock, small ‘easy-to-access’ items were also a common target. “We’re seeing a couple of trends. There’s livestock getting stolen. In the Wimmera, it’s generally sheep stolen,” he said. “But it’s also those other more easily sold on items, such as motorbikes, chainsaws, tools, small equipment and diesel – all items that can be accessed really quickly and sold on quickly.” Snr Sgt Grant said while reporting was important, preventative measures could ensure farmers could protect themselves. “I recommend farmers put padlocks on external gates, install some CCTV cameras over critical assets such as sheds and fuel bowsers,” he said. “It’s helpful to have a network and be in touch with your neighbours – people will know if there’s a vehicle in the area that’s not supposed to be there. “If you see something suspicious, please do report it.” Snr Sgt Grant said people could report anonymously to Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000 or contact their nearest police station.

Campaign boosts positivity A campaign to promote positive mental health in Ararat is providing dual benefits, boosting business and positivity in the community. Resilience Ararat finished its #beanresilient campaign last week after supplying Ararat cafés with more than 15,000 specially branded cups. The cups helped spread messages about the three principles of resilience – gratitude, empathy and mindfulness – and encouraged the community to share their strategies for living a happy, fulfilling life. Ararat café owners have reported customers were on board and sharing their positive messages to social media. Foragers Café owner Sarah Ramsey said she did not hesitate when her business was asked to be part of the campaign. “We saw people popping in for a coffee who we don’t usually see,” she said. “They were making the effort to get involved, which really shows the community is behind each other. “As a local business owner, mental

health is a pretty strong priority for me. I think anything to raise awareness about that is important and I’m always 100 percent behind it. “It was fabulous to see all the cafés come together with the cups, and the students get involved with helping to develop the messages. “Community support is huge for us at a time like this and I feel really blessed to live where we are because we’ve had a lot of community support.” Central Grampians LLEN Resilient Ararat project officer Jane Moriarty said residents had taken to social media over the course of the campaign. “We were so overwhelmed by the response to this campaign and are extremely grateful to the Ararat community,” she said. “We can’t thank everyone enough for supporting us by visiting our local cafés and engaging with the messages we were trying to deliver. Seeing everyone come together is what resilience is all about, so it was fantastic to see.”

Travel approval Melbourne residents who own properties in Horsham Rural City can apply for a letter of approval to travel to clean up before the fire season. Horsham council chief executive Sunil Bhalla welcomed the State Government’s clarification of guidelines around Melbourne residents visiting regional Victoria while COVID-19 restrictions were in place, after several weeks of confusion and concern for non-resident ratepayers. “We can understand Melbourne residents’ concerns with the potential condition of their properties, which they have been unable to visit,” he said. “There will be no charge for the approval letters, however there will be considerable cost and resources to council to put the necessary system in place to take information, validate details against rates notices, and issue notices. “There have been many challenges for council to support our community, businesses and ratepayers through COVID-19 restrictions and outbreaks, and the issuing of travel permission letters will be the next challenge to deliver.” Mr Bhalla said the council received more than 100 calls last week from Melbourne residents requesting information about gaining permission to travel following the Premier’s announcement on October 18. To streamline the process, non-resident ratepayers can request a letter of approval online, on the council’s website, www.hrcc.vic.gov.au. “When the request is validated and approved, property owners will receive an email with the letter that they can show at check points, show businesses or local police if requested,” Mr Bhalla said. “We suggest they also carry their rates notice or have it accessible from their phone.” Mr Bhalla said property owners who were unable to travel or unable to carry out their own maintenance should arrange for Horsham contractors to maintain their properties. “If you are unwell you must get tested and stay home – do not attend your secondary property even if you have a letter of approval,” he said.

Nurses go online Northern Grampians Shire Council’s maternal and child health team is offering free online information sessions for families. The sessions for parents of children from birth to school-age will be run by a maternal and child health nurse and feature a range of topics including sleeping and settling, diet, first aid, behaviour and self-care for parents. The sessions are free and run every Thursday from 11am to noon and will continue until the end of the calendar year. Council chief executive Liana Thompson said the information sessions were a valuable part of the services the council offered to the community. She said the final session for 2020 would be on December 10, and she hoped 2021 sessions would continue face-to-face. To register or for more information, people can email mch@ngshire.vic.gov.au or call 5358 9060. More information about the council’s maternal and child health or early years services can be found on website www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/familyservices.

We hope that all of our members and patrons are keeping safe and well. Our Committee, Management and Staff look forward to seeing you all in the near future.

When opportunity knocks... A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

rgentinian street artist Alvaro Barrionuevo is making the most of an unplanned-extended stay in Australia.

The expat, who goes by the name BOSAK, has painted murals at several locations across the country including in the Wimmera. He has left his mark at Byron Bay and Murwillumbah in New South Wales and most recently at Dadwells Bridge and Laharum in the region. When Barrionuevo arrived in Australia in February, he could never have predicted countries across the globe were about to enter heavy lockdowns in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. He and his group of friends found themselves in a dilemma, to either travel home or extend their visas to spend a few extra months in Australia. Before the second wave of restrictions, Barrionuevo – who has a bridging visa – joined his friends to travel to the Wimmera after finding work opportunities at Australian Wildflowers at Laharum. On arriving, word quickly spread that Barrionuevo was a professional artist. When he told his hosts at Grampians Edge Caravan Park he was a street artist they jumped at the opportunity to feature his work at their site. The caravan park commissioned him to paint a series of murals, including a blue wren on a water tank. Following his first murals in the region, it was not long before he picked up more work. His employers asked him to com-

Barrionuevo said he was ‘overwhelmed’ that he had an opportunity to explore his passion of painting during his visit. “With COVID-19, I’m stuck here, but I am enjoying this country,” he said. “It’s an amazing place and I am very happy that I can find work that is my passion. I’m in another country and I have the experience of doing street art and getting paid for it.” Barrionuevo said he never expected he would secure so many opportunities.

“I came with a tourist visa because the idea was to visit some friends in Byron Bay to go surfing,” he said. “When I was working at the flower farm, they saw the mural I completed at the caravan park and wanted me to do a project for them. I start one project and another and another.” Barrionuevo grew up in San Isidro, about 20 kilometres north of Argentina’s capital city Buenos Aires. He was just 17 when he painted his first mural in his home town. “That was the village where I started my first murals, after that I started to paint in the capital,” he said. His art is now scattered across the

globe, with many pieces featuring in the Argentinian capital as well as European countries such as Spain and Germany. “It started as a hobby, but then people started to ask me to paint more, so it’s becoming a job,” Barrionuevo said. He said he was enjoying having an opportunity to discover a new culture and connect with Australian people. “I really didn’t imagine it was going to be like this, but I think if you really like what you do and express yourself, you always find opportunities,” he said. “I love to paint nature, so I’m get-

ting really inspired all the time in Australia.” Barrionuevo said it was a relief to be in Australia where the COVID-19 pandemic was ‘under control’ compared with his home country where the average daily infection rate was about 13,000. “My family say the situation back home is very bad, so I try to just enjoy my time here,” he said. “In this situation here, we are really good, compared with other countries.” Barrionuevo is now travelling the south coast of Victoria and seeking more mural-painting opportunities across the state.

Season 20 – Week 17 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2020

The Australian wool market has had a rollercoaster ride this week, with both large upward and downward movements experienced in the series. From the opening lot on the first day, buyer sentiment was extremely positive, it was immediately apparent that the market was heading rapidly higher. By time the final hammer fell in the West, the individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) across the country had risen by 110 to 153 cents. The AWEX Eastern Market Indicator added 123 cents for the day, this equated to an 11% increase. This was the second largest rise on record for the EMI, only beaten by the 130 cent gain the EMI recorded in September last year. The EMI closed the day at 1,240 cents, which was the highest the EMI has been in the current season. On the second day of selling, buyer sentiment cooled slightly, resulting in the market losing some of the large gains enjoyed on the first. The MPGs fell by 23 to 99 cents. On the back of these losses the EMI dropped by 21 cents, strong gains in the crossbreds preventing a larger fall. Despite the second day losses the EMI recorded an overall positive movement of 102 cents for the series, closing the week at 1,219 cents. As the finer microns have risen at a greater rate than the broader ones, the price differentials between microns have stretched. In the first sale of the current season, the difference between the 18.0 micron MPGs and the 21.0 micron MPGs was 215 cents, the difference between the 18.0 and 21.0 micron MPGs has now increased to 388 cents. The crossbred sector recorded the largest rises, the 26.0 and 30.0 micron MPGs rose by 18%. The 28.0 micron MPGs rose by 31%. In the both the North and South this was the largest weekly rise for the 28.0 micron MPG on record. Next week’s national offering rises to 44,004.

Dancers rejoice

Horsham dance leader has welcomed the return of indoor classes for juniors and hopes adult classes will resume in the near future.

This year has been a tumultuous one for dancers, who have missed in-person classes for most of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of low COVID numbers in regional areas, Premier Daniel Andrews on Sunday announced rules about indoor sport would be relaxed earlier than the government anticipated. From today, non-contact indoor physical recreation, such as dance classes, can resume for participants under-18, with a maximum of 20 people. The Dancers Zone principal dance instructor Lynne McKenzie said she was thrilled she could resume teaching indoor classes. “Luckily it has been announced we can return indoors for students under the age of 18,” she said. “Unfortunately there was no specified return date for over-18s, meaning our adult students will still be dancing outside until restrictions ease yet again.” Ms McKenzie said she and her fellow teachers had done their best to deliver classes and help keep students physically and mentally active throughout the pandemic. When Victoria first entered lockdown restrictions in March, Ms McKenzie acted quickly to try to retain some form of normality. “Throughout the first lockdown, we kept dancing going through online classes, so that our students could still get their dance class each week,” she said. “We recorded our classes and sent them a private link, so they could watch their class as many times as they wanted throughout the week. “Despite the hard time everyone was going through, we had a great response – it was wonderful to see everyone still enjoying their dancing.” Students were allowed back in the studio during term three, provided they stuck to State Government guidelines.

“We obviously had guidelines we had to follow to keep everyone safe, such as temperature checks and signing in on arrival, sanitiser stations, and constant cleaning of anything that was touched, like door handles, light switches, sound systems and so on,” Ms McKenzie said. “It was just a little bit of work we all had to do to keep everyone safe, but it was so great to be able to be back in the studio again. “Unfortunately, after a few weeks, there was another wave and we were put back into lockdown, meaning we went back to online classes.” Ms McKenzie said families involved loved that The Dancers Zone kept going throughout the pandemic, so they had something to look forward to each week.

Before the start of term four, the government announced dancers could not return to the studio, however, they could run classes for a maximum of 10 people outside. “We simply altered our timetable slightly to keep our numbers in each class under 10, and to get our classes finished before the sun went down,” Ms McKenzie said. “We’re pretty lucky to have such a big car park at our studio, so we made use of the back corner, out of the way of traffic to run our classes. “Our students come to their class each week in their uniform and runners, and we run our classes while still maintaining social distancing. “We have obviously altered the way we teach as well, to make it safe for students, so no floor work, big jumps or using our tap shoes.” Ms McKenzie said this term was simply about ‘having fun’ and getting people dancing. She thanked everyone involved in The Dancers’ Zone for their dedication and patience. “I am very lucky to have such an amazing team of teachers who have kept everything going and are still coming up with great ideas for our students to enjoy dancing,” she said. “I want to say a huge thank you to our families who have continued to support us all year – it really is a big family.”

United in breast awareness message

Wimmera nurse is reminding residents early detection of breast cancer is vital to improve chances of survival. West Wimmera Health Service cancer resource nurse Janine Clarke is urging Wimmera residents to look out for the early signs of breast cancer. Her comments came during Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Ms Clarke said breast cancer remained the most common cancer among Australian women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer. She said this month provided an opportunity for people to focus on breast cancer and the importance of early detection. “There has been a significant reduction in cancer screenings, and as a result cancer diagnoses, since the COVID-19 pandemic started,” she said. “As with any cancer, early detection provides the best chance of surviving the disease.

“Please remember that you don’t need to be an expert to check your breasts. This simple act can save your life.” Ms Clarke said the National Breast Cancer Foundation provided some excellent information regarding the self-examination process, including changes to look for, including – • A new lump or lumpiness, especially if it is only in one breast. • A change in the size or shape of your breast. • A change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion. • A nipple discharge that occurs without squeezing. • A change in the skin of your breast, such as redness or dimpling. • An unusual pain that does not go away. Ms Clarke said most changes were not due to breast cancer, but it was important to see a doctor without delay when symptoms were detected. She said people wanting more information could arrange an appointment by calling the health service on 5391 4267.

SHOW OF SUPPORT: Horsham police are sporting pink face masks to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Police were unable to replicate the same level of community involvement as previous years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but felt it important to endorse the cause. Horsham Police Inspector Di Thomson said cancer did not stop during the pandemic and there was a greater need for awareness of all cancers. Pictured from left, Olivia Hill, Angela Ballinger, Senior Constable Sasha Currow, Acting Senior Sergeant Travis Kerr, Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Duane Hagger and Inspector Di Thomson show material donated by Snr Const Currow to make masks.

Awarded for outstanding leadership An Ararat doctor has received national recognition for his display of ‘outstanding’ leadership during 2020. Dr Daniel Wilson, who joined East Grampians Health Service at the start of this year, has taken out two awards in the inaugural Outstanding Leadership Awards hosted by LeadershipHQ. Dr Wilson is the health service’s first full-time doctor who started through a Victorian Rural Generalist Program. Dr Wilson won a 2020 Future Male Leader of the Year award as well as an overall Outstanding Leader of the Year award. The awards celebrate ‘kind and courageous’ leadership in Australia. Dr Wilson said it was ‘overwhelming’ to be nominated and awarded for both leadership awards. “I was surprised to win in my category, let alone be recognised at such a high level on a national platform as the Outstanding Leader of the Year,” he said. “Recognising leadership in this way – celebrating leadership styles defined by kindness and courage – are important.” Dr Wilson said the awards motivated him to continue improving and strengthening his networks at the hospital. “Leadership is commonly defined by power and influence, but these awards celebrate and recognise the ways in which leadership inspires and develops kindness and courage in individuals, teams, companies and communities,” he said. “The awards are further personal and professional motivation to improve myself and others.”

Algae confirmed at Green Lake Authorities have closed Green Lake, south of Horsham, due to confirmation of blue-green algae. Horsham Rural City Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said samples of water from the lake confirmed ‘very high’ levels of the potentially toxic algae. He said council staff would continue to monitor the lake for the presence of toxic algae, and update the status as required.

NUMBE

ONE

KIND AND COURAGEOUS: Eastern Grampians Health Service’s first full-time doctor Daniel Wilson has been awarded for his leadership. Dr Wilson said he had a passion for rural and regional health and working with the Ararat health service allowed him to further develop his skills as a doctor and leader. “The most valuable part of working within many teams at East Grampians Health Service is learning from others, growing together and improving what we

do,” he said. “I couldn’t have achieved these awards without the support and development from colleagues and friends. “I will continue to work here until early 2021, when I go to Ballarat for further training in women’s health and obstetrics in preparation to return to Ararat for the long term from 2022 – I’m hooked.”

A silver lining in every situation Emma’s photographs were eventually used in a calendar – several, actually – under The Naked Farmer banner. Ben’s desire to create a ‘conversation starter’ quickly paid off as people spoke up about their struggles with isolation, anxiety, depression, grief and suicide. There are plenty of mental health forums encouraging people to speak up, but this one is certainly the most eye-catching. The Naked Farmer movement now boasts more than 114,000 Instagram followers and is nearing 63,000 followers on Facebook. Emma’s involvement in The Naked Farmer started to wane after the first year as she became involved in other projects. Ben has passionately driven the project from day dot and will this month release a book featuring stories and photographs of people on the land.

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ey, take your shirt off and pretend to be nude,” Emma Cross joked to her friend, Ben Brooksby, while taking photos of a canola crop on his family farm a few years ago.

“

Always up for a laugh, Ben did as she suggested. “Do you know what we should do?” Emma said afterwards. “We should do a calendar of you pretending to be naked on the farm in all different situations. “It would be a classic Christmas present to all of the crew.” They both laughed, said, ‘We should!’ and like many ideas, it was quickly brushed aside. At the end of 2016, Emma was heading home to Horsham for Christmas when she decided to call in and visit Ben and his father, Al, on their farm at St Helens Plains. She thought it was a good opportunity for a quick catch-up and if she happened to get a few harvest snaps while she was there, well, that would be a bonus. As she climbed the ladder of a truck filled with lentils overlooking the Grampians, camera in hand, Emma remembered their previous joke about a naked calendar. “I yelled out to Ben while swinging on the side of the truck and laughingly said, ‘Get your kit off’,” Emma said. “Well, things got awkward for about one second, before we both looked over to see how far off in the field his dad was in the header. “I said, ‘Let’s actually create this calendar for the boys’. “Ben’s clothes were soon flying all over the place. As the lentils covered his private parts, I was standing on the edge of the truck, clinging to the ladder with one arm, trying to hold my camera in the other and of course, trying to get a still shot while in tears of laughter.” They carried on laughing for a bit before suddenly realising Ben’s father was heading towards them in the header.

Something special

Emma Cross “Ben and I were never an item, we were too good of mates,” Emma said. “But I still knew this wasn’t going to look good in front of his dad – me, holding a camera and his half-naked son in the back of a truck of lentils. “I climbed down the ladder while trying to contain my tears and laughter and left Ben to fend for himself.” Ben and Emma never got around to making a calendar for their mates – they ended up doing something more worthwhile. While sowing lentils in May 2017, Ben created an Instagram page called The Naked Farmer and uploaded the photo. Within a week, he had more than 1000 followers. The Naked Farmer started as a way to highlight agriculture through ‘naked’ farmers and educate people about where their food and fibre came from. It quickly turned into a mental health movement, with people baring their bodies – tastefully – and souls. “It ended up getting a lot of traction and we thought we should put

it towards something,” Emma said. “I said to Ben, ‘How good would it be to travel around regional and rural Australia, meeting people and taking their photos’.” So they did, travelling through five states and the Northern Territory in 19 days in an epic adventure. “We were young and excited – we didn’t give much thought to the fact we were going to all these isolated places not knowing if it was safe or not,” Emma said. “But everyone was so welcoming and it didn’t take long to feel at ease. “The first guy we met, Josh Ball in Western Australia, was an absolute legend. We thought we couldn’t possibly meet someone as awesome as him, but the more we travelled, people were just as good. “We were treated as if we were family and I still talk to some of the people we met, often. “Doing it in 19 days was stupid, but that’s the timeframe we had. It was the most amazing experience and one that will stay with me forever.”

Emma fell in love with photography at an early age. “I got a camera in a showbag at a show where we were showing cattle,” she said. “I just knew it was something special. My mum was always interested in photography, so I also get that spark from her.” By the age of 14, Emma started to think seriously about pursuing photography as a career and went on to work part-time for Horsham photography business Jumpin’ Jac Flash during high school. “I knew photography was not a reliable income, but I’ve always been interested in creative fields,” she said. “After high school I worked in Melbourne for five years doing event production. “It was an amazing experience, but I was also commuting from Geelong and it was exhausting. “It’s not a nine-to-five job, you’re always questioning whether you’ve made the right decision for your client, or working late or on weekends. “I was dealing with the production side of major AFL events to big

Greek, Macedonian and Italian weddings – it was a high pressure job.” When the historic Central Pier at Docklands was closed indefinitely in January due to safety concerns, Emma was made redundant. In need of a break, it came as a relief. It also meant she would have more time to work on her photography, particularly event photography. “I never saw myself as a nude photographer,” Emma said. “I actually never really noticed people were naked because I was too busy trying to make sure I got the right shot. I was too focused on the landscape for it to be awkward. “It meant so much to me to be involved in something like that, particularly because I love country life and rural scenes. “Weddings are my favourite thing to photograph, but when I’m not photographing weddings I just love travelling on the road and taking photos – capturing that golden light.” Business was looking good, with several weddings in the pipeline. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit and restrictions on social gatherings wreaked havoc on the industry. Emma had to cancel weddings and other jobs in Victoria due to the pandemic. She was living between Geelong and her boyfriend’s farm at Willbriggie, about 25 kilometres south of Griffith in New South Wales, but has been ‘stuck’ there for several months due to travel restrictions. Emma said she was using the time to tick off a few things on her to-do list, including setting up a website for her Emma Jane Industry business and selling photographic prints. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but never had time to before, so there’s a silver lining,” she said. She said she looked forward to returning to the Wimmera to visit her family and friends, particularly her young niece Grace, when she could. For now, she is enjoying life on the land, with her camera never too far away.

illaura farmers who made a transition to regenerative agriculture are starting to reap the rewards of a sustainable sheep farming practice.

Husband and wife team Jack and Celia Tucker made the move to a rotational pastoral system for their sheep farm about two years ago. Mr Tucker said the move came after 20 years of conventional crop farming where they had a heavy reliance on chemical use that was increasing year-on-year. “We’ve gone from being 90-percent cropping to making a full reverse to a 90-percent grazing operation,” he said. “Our outcomes last year far exceeded what we had expected – it’s great to see our system is actually working.” Mr Tucker said the ‘turning point’ for his operation was when he realised his soil health was only continuing to degrade with more chemical use. “In my 20 years in cropping, we went from having a healthy nitrogen cycle to relying entirely on urea as our nitrogen source to grow a crop,” he said. “We went from zero kilograms up to 300kg to the hectare in some cases. “That’s not healthy for the soil. Our reliance on fertilisers, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides was going

Wednesday, October 28, 2020

up every year exponentially.” The regenerative farming method works to promote healthier ecosystems by rebuilding soil organic matter through holistic farming and grazing techniques, or in short, ‘letting nature do the work’. The Tuckers’ rotational system involves sectioning off their 750-hectare property into 40, 10-hectare lots. The remainder of the property is used for broadacre cropping. This replaces traditional ‘set stocking’ which involved letting the animals roam and graze freely in a paddock. Mr Tucker said the new system had already shown promising signs. He said they had managed to get through last summer without purchasing additional feed for lambs. “We managed to get through last summer without any supplementary feeding and we still had excellent ground cover at the end,” he said. “If they’re more densely stocked, they just go in, feed and move out again, so you end up with more even grazing across the paddock.” Mr Tucker said rotational livestock farming had proven to be more sustainable. “If we were set-stocking, I have no doubt we definitely would have run out of grass,” he said. “In a set-stocking system, sheep spend a lot of time walking around

FAMILY FARM: James Tucker, 6, and brother Johnny, 4, explore a multispecies perennial pasture crop. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER searching for what they want and standing on and urinating on the feed there. This means you end up with bare areas in the paddock.” The family’s property is also home to a 55-hectare vermin-proofed nature reserve. The reserve, named Tullyvallin, is home to native plants and animals. Mr Tucker said bandicoots were in-

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

troduced into the reserve as part of the project. “That’s something that we’re passionate about, preserving flora and fauna where possible,” he said. “We still graze once or twice a year to manage the grass, but it all ties into our conservation ethos.” The Tuckers have also planted trees on the property to create ‘shelter belts’.

As part of the regenerative agriculture move, the family is also looking at ways to earn ‘carbon credits’ on their farm. Australian farmers can enter into a voluntary carbon-offset Federal Government scheme that allows land managers to earn carbon credits by changing land use or management practices to store carbon or reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “We’re aiming to increase the level of carbon in our soil,” Mr Tucker said. “Our soil will be measured and analysed at regular intervals over a 20year period and for the amount of carbon we’ve sequestered in the soil, we will get assigned carbon credits which we can trade on the carbon market.” Soil carbon sequestration is a process in which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and stored in a soil carbon pool. This process is primarily mediated by plants through photosynthesis. Mr Tucker said the new agriculture system his family was exploring was a reliable approach to farming and a ‘robust’ business model. “We’ve always been passionate about the environment and we could see the path we were going down was detrimental for the health of soil and whole farm ecosystem,” he said. “We’re also very concerned about climate change.”

‘Thick skin and sharp elbows’ 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY DYLAN DE JONG

he Wimmera’s David Jochinke hopes to lend a hand and continue advocating for regional Victoria even after his time as Victorian Farmers Federation president comes to a close.

The third generation farmer, based at Murra Warra, north of Horsham, will call time on a four-year run in the top job at the end of the year. The VFF closed its nominations for its 2020 election earlier this month and plans to announce all candidates on Wednesday next week. Mr Jochinke, 43, has described his time as president as a ‘humbling’ experience and said he hoped the next generation of leaders who populated the board could help to revolutionise the representative body. He said he looked forward to a ‘slightly’ more relaxed harvest this season as he stood down from the role after what he labelled his toughest year in the job in 2020. “I’m definitely going to enjoy harvest and hopefully get all the grain into the bin successfully,” he said. “I might suffer some relevance deprivation for a while once it’s all said and done. But I do think there will be opportunities for me to be involved both in agriculture and in trying to help the regional community

Wednesday, October 28, 2020

achieve prosperity. I’m still relatively young and I’ve got plenty to give.” During his two terms as president, Mr Jochinke has been a voice for the Victorian agriculture sector during drought, floods, a dairy crisis, avian influenza and helping farmers adapt to a changing climate. But he said nothing, so far, had compared to the ‘chaos’ that would arise from the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’ve had more people distressed – I’ve had more phone calls from farmers who are absolutely at their wits’ end than any other time while I’ve been in this role,” he said. “Water is definitely an emotional topic, but COVID has eclipsed even that. In my busiest period I had a week of almost 60 phone calls a day. “I’m glad we’re able to give some clarity in an environment when there’s very little, but sometimes all I can do is listen and empathise with the farmers. That’s pretty tough when you don’t have a solution. They need something from industry and when I can’t deliver or do any more for them, it’s quite confronting.” Mr Jochinke said his parents and grandparents were also VFF members. He first made the move to an advocacy role in agriculture in his late teens and in 1997, he joined the Wallup VFF branch. “From those first meetings I became

David Jochinke

delegate for the region,” he said. “You get to meet all the faces who were shaping the industry, from CEOs to politicians to managing directors of different organisations.” Mr Jochinke said his time at Wallup led to being elected as the group’s last VFF treasurer and chair of the finance committee as well as vice-president from 2012 to 2016. But there was one man he credits with helping shape his dedication for making change in the industry. In his early days at Wallup, he shadowed one of the key grain representatives in the area at the time, Rob McRae. “I call Rob my VFF dad because he

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

took me under his wing when we first started. He was hugely influential for my pathway,” he said. “With policy, he showed me that you’ve got to make sure you don’t get lost in the battles, but you remember what the objective is. “The machinery of government and wheels of industry can take a lot of time to turn to get the result you’re looking for, but as long as you keep applying pressure in the right spot and remain positive and engaged, things do spin your way, eventually. “Rob taught me a lot about patience. “And I was always told you need thick skin and sharp elbows, which is extremely true.”

While his time is coming to a close as a leader of the VFF, Mr Jochinke said he was still invested in seeing the organisation thrive. He said the past few years as president had highlighted a need for the organisation to adapt to the way agriculture was continually transforming in a modern age. “The organisation needs to change, it needs to refresh, it needs to modernise. We need to appeal more to the next generation of farmers and we need to be more adaptable and flexible in our engagement mechanisms,” he said. “The reality is the industry has moved a lot, but the structure of the organisation hasn’t necessarily kept pace. It will be a challenge for whoever comes next to make those changes – I feel disappointed that I wasn’t able to lead more on that front.” Mr Jochinke said he owed his time as president to the farmers and people who supported him all the way. “My story has been one of having opportunities presented and taking them up and just having a go,” he said. “Being a representative in agriculture is a team sport. I’m only as good as the people who stand with me and I’ve been very fortunate to have some excellent people who don’t necessarily get the spotlight, but people who supported the process from the start.”

“When I take the drone image, I could split the paddock into seven zones, and I had seven items to work with. “It’s exponentially more accurate and more efficient than the old style of doing things.”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

Wimmera man is finding drone technology is becoming more of a necessity in improving on-farm accuracy.

High-resolution thermal drone imaging allows Nhill’s Marty Colbert to help farmers identify issues in broadacre and livestock farming. Agriculture researchers are identifying ways to use drones for weed and disease identification, improve water and nutrient deficiencies, yield determinations and pesticide applications. Mr Colbert jumped on the drone bandwagon about three years ago, finding the imaging technology useful in predicting crop yields, as well as inspecting solar panels. He has since upgraded to using a thermal-imaging camera that he equips to his drone, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV. The equipment allows him to produce high-resolution thermal photos that can assist with variable rate application on farms – an aspect of precision agriculture that automates the application of materials such as fertilisers, chemical sprays and seeds to the land. Mr Colbert worked with a company in the United States to get approval to use the military-grade camera to equip to his drone in Australia. He said this season he would focus on identifying haystack fires.

Pricetag

NECESSITY: Nhill’s Marty Colbert is using a military grade thermal imaging drone to detect haystack fires and lost livestock. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Mr Colbert said the thermal imaging would allow him to pinpoint where heat was coming from so farmers could quickly locate problematic hay bales. “I can fly over the sides and top of the shed and identify hot patches to tell the farmer where to go,” he said. Mr Colbert said thermal imaging was also useful in locating vermin animals such as foxes and wild dogs. He said he could also locate lost livestock in remote locations. In crop production, researchers are

finding drones useful in pinpointing trouble areas in the field that would not be found by the normal observer. Mr Colbert said thermal imaging allowed him to observe plants under stress. “Another example is in summer, when I fly a thermal drone over a vineyard or any irrigated crop, plants in stress put out a warmer signal,” he said. “If they’re on a dripper line, it might lose its efficiency and drips at the end of the line are smaller than they

should be.” Mr Colbert said the drones could play an important role in a farmer’s daily life, where the greatest advantage came from time saved in surveying fields or animals without all of the driving around or footwork. “I went and mapped a 300-acre paddock to get a field estimate with a drone and it took me an hour,” he said. “Previously it would have taken me three hours and it wouldn’t have been as accurate because I would have been driving into the paddock blind.

While drone technology was proving to be a ‘major timesaver’, Mr Colbert stressed the pricetag was likely still too high for most farmers. “I’m not breaking new ground as drones have been around for a while now,” he said. “It’s just that they have been hellishly expensive – so out of the reach of the average consumer. “Some of this equipment can cost you up to $100,000 – no one has a lazy $100k around, to put that into a business plan, you’d go broke.” Mr Colbert said as the technology continued to improve and the aircraft became more widely available and affordable, they were likely to become an important addition to any farmer’s toolkit. “Information technology in agriculture is where it’s at. I’m only nibbling at the edge of this IT age,” he said. “But in the short term, I see opportunities in haystack sheds and intensive agriculture such as identify crop stress.”

orkers joining the grains industry for this season’s harvest will benefit from online training designed to bring them ‘up to speed with necessary skills and knowledge’.

Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes announced $175,000 from the Agriculture Workforce Plan would go towards the Grains Industry Skills Development and Induction Program, to be developed by Grain Producers Australia. She said the training focused on creating a safe and efficient workforce as peak harvest season arrived, given the availability of regular seasonal workers from overseas and interstate had been affected by border restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus. “These new training courses will prepare workers by giving them the knowledge to safely and quickly transition into a role in the grains industry,” she said. “Grains workplaces are highly technical and workers need to have the best possible training to be kept safe and to make sure the important harvest work can be done.” Ms Symes said new workers would complete comprehensive online courses covering farm safety, new hygiene and distancing practices and a thorough induction of what to expect during harvest. She said this included understanding the main aspects of grain harvesting such as the operation

of harvesters and chaser bins, grain handling and grain transportation. An important part of the training will lay out for farm managers and centres how to effectively induct employees and how to provide a safe work environment. There will also be a section to support existing workers to get up to speed on best-practice farm safety. The online training will be provided to Victorian businesses free of charge. Grain Producers Australia chairman and Rupanyup farmer Andrew Weidemann welcomed the funding. “We thank the Victorian government for this support for our online training program, which will give workers and employers the tools they need to create a safe, well-trained workforce for this harvest season and into the future,” he said. The Agriculture Workforce Plan is also supporting other industry-led training programs including the Dairy Passport and Horticulture Farm Worker Induction Program. In addition to targeted skills development, the plan is supporting businesses in key agriculture and food processing industries through adaptation grants, job matching, worker accommodation and relocation support and measures to help Victorian producers connect into new markets. People can visit www.agriculture.vic.gov.au/ agworkforceplan for more information about the Agriculture Workforce Plan.

am mad… really mad. Steam engine clouds coming out my ears. To me it all boils down to a lack of respect and appreciation for agriculture. And it is all about trains.

Last week the Andrews government broke its promise to finish the upgrade of the Murray Basin Rail network. It’s gone cap in hand to the Commonwealth to ask for another $200-odd million to re-build some track and infrastructure, but the original promise to standardise the broad gauge lines has been dumped. So that means the key sections of upgrade in Victoria’s north-west won’t go ahead. The majority of the Labour government’s city voters wouldn’t know or care about it, so no great political loss there. But it’s a huge loss to our grain industry, the environment and our country roads. In the words of Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke: “It’s pretty disgusting really… It’s about upgrading broad gauge lines to make them workable. The intention of this upgrade was to upgrade all of the rail network so during an export season we can put as much grain as possible on rail, taking the pressure off our crumbling road network and also making those roads safer.” All of us who live in grain growing areas have witnessed the huge toll grain trucks take on our roads. You just have to look at what happens in one season to routes into grain receival sites to see the bitumen splitting, sinking and breaking away to make for some pretty dangerous stretches of road. Not to mention the amount of diesel fuel trucks

are guzzling and emitting carbon into the atmosphere. Put the grain on rail and help reduce greenhouse gases. It’s not rocket science. The tracks are in such a parlous state that in hot weather, grain freight trains can be restricted to 20-kilometres an hour for fear of sparking bushfires. What a joke that we still don’t have standardised rail gauges and a decent rail network to transport the very produce that is going to lead Australia out of this COVID-induced economic recession. Couldn’t the government help farmers create wealth by doing what should have been done years ago and at the same time create jobs in regional Victoria? With governments throwing around billions of dollars during this pandemic, it doesn’t seem to be a lot to ask. David Jochinke is trying to put a positive spin on it that it’s not all over yet. But I’ll bet my bottom dollar that our Premier has run a red line through the proposal and it’s dead in the water. He’s not one to back down once he’s made a decision. So thanks for nothing, Dan. Yet again, agriculture gets a slap in the face and has to go it alone. Surely a fundamental duty of State Governments is to maintain a healthy and wealth creating transport system? Not, apparently, if you’re out of that ‘ring of steel’ around Melbourne.

Crews crucial during pandemic A project team formed to bolster employment opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic is proving to be a major environmental asset in the Wimmera. Project Platypus Upper Wimmera Landcare Network has been working with Wimmera Catchment Management Authority to task crews employed under a Working for Victoria program with land management work. The State Government’s $50-million Agriculture Workforce Plan, as a part of the employment program, created 40 new jobs in the Wimmera earlier this year. Project Platypus co-ordi-

nator Lachlan McIntyre said crews were helping with revegetation and fencing of important environmental areas such as waterways, weed control, soil sampling and waterquality monitoring on private and public land. He said their assistance had proven to be a major benefit to the Landcare network and partnering groups including Stawell Urban Landcare and Black Range Land Management. “Having access to these crews has been vital in delivering targeted and broad scale environmental work in the upper Wimmera,” he said. “We’ve been working close-

ly with the Wimmera CMA and Landcare groups to identify priority works and deliver on some projects that have proven difficult in previous years due to reduced funding and high labour hire costs.” Mr McIntyre said Project Platypus would continue to make the most of the full-time workers to complete priority jobs. “At this stage we have Working for Victoria crews available through to December,” he said. Mr McIntyre said the help came at a ‘much needed’ time, with reduced funding compounded by the economic impacts of the pandemic.

Reminder to rural communities 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

As Victorian Mental Health Month draws to a close, Rural Aid is reminding rural communities that one conversation at the right time, with the right person, can change everything. Rural Aid chief executive John Warlters said whether it be about relationships, life on the land or just not feeling ‘right’, having a chat could be one of the most powerful tools a farmer could use. He said Rural Aid, one of Australia’s largest rural charities, was committed to supporting farmers and their wellbeing. “Sometimes restoring balance in our mental wellbeing can be found just in enjoying an

activity that is not farm-related for an hour. It could be reading, riding, running or being in the garden, golfing or going fishing,” he said. “We’re seeing farmers becoming more and more comfortable with taking up counselling when they need it. We had nearly 1600 primary producers reach out to our counselling services in the last quarter. Some received support via phone, others face-to-face, and also through our monthly webinars.” People can visit www.ruralaid.org.au, call 1300 327 624 or search Rural Aid Australia on Facebook for more information about the organisation.

The industry has boomed in Australia, with hay exports increasing 20 percent throughout the past five years. Australia has developed a strong record of exporting good-quality hay, and more than one million metric tonnes are now exported each year to countries such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China. For Mr Irish, one integral piece of infrastructure has proven key for running a successful hay export business: a quality hay shed. He had his first shed installed back in 2007, followed by a shed by custom shed manufacturer Entegra in 2016. “I think if you’re growing hay, you need a hay shed, and a shed is one of the most critical parts of your hay game,” he said. “You need to buy a shed before you buy a hay baler. It might sound silly but you can use a contractor for a baler, but with a shed – a lot of people have sheds and they don’t rent them out, so you need a shed. And during years like this, having a shed will pay.” Like with many industries, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Australia’s hay exporting. Mark Heaslip, east Australia operations manager for hay export business GILMAC, said there had been a combination of factors affecting the industry, with slightly reduced demand, shipping routes being slowed down or ceased and a reduction in availability of good quality containers. But he said export hay in Australia had been a growing market over 30 years, and indicators showed it would continue on that trajectory. “I think the hay industry has been quite positive for a long time, and I expect that to continue. It’s a good management tool for farmers and so I think hay, along with wheat and barley, will

still be sought after,” he said. “You need all the tools of the trade, so you need to know you can get it cut on time, baled on time, and trucked to either a shed or an exporter. And if you do it in good timing, you’ll get good quality hay and it’ll become a profitable enterprise.” Mr Heaslip said opportunities existed in the current environment, as long as you had a hay shed. “Shedded hay is the best option. If you’re making export oaten hay you need to protect it the best you can,” he said. “So, you get it baled and get it into a shed. Shedding your hay is the best protection for the quality of the hay, and it can stay there for a reasonable amount of time and not deteriorate. “If it’s well looked after and kept dry and clean, it holds its quality for a long period of time.” Homegrown engineering success story Entegra Signature Structures has taken a leadership position in the hay shed market with pre-engineered hay shed kits complementing its capability for custom-designed sheds. The company’s long-term sponsorship of the Australian Fodder Industry Association has also been instrumental in how it has understood the market and engineered its sheds with premium features such as galvanised columns and box gutters included as standard. The success of Entegra with the export hay market came on the back of record prices the previous year flowing through to on-farm investment. Entegra has further enhanced its position in a more challenging market this year with the acquisition of Gympie-based Blueprint Engineered Sheds. The combined business is now able to reach more farmers with increased manufacturing capacity. People can call Entegra on 1300 296 206 or visit www.entegra.com.au to view hay shed kits or custom shed options.

Rail plan shortcoming BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera-Mallee agriculture and political leaders are ‘disappointed’ a revised plan to fix a failed rail upgrade in north-west Victoria is unlikely to achieve the project’s original goal.

The State Government revealed a revised business plan last week that proposed an extra $244-million be spent fixing the Murray Basin Rail Project. But the plans will not involve standardising lines. The jointly funded $440-million plan, first proposed in 2014, was set to standardise north-west Victoria’s freight rail network. It ran out of money in 2019 with half the project incomplete. Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke said the revised business case was ‘disrespectful’ to grain handlers who were anticipating plans to involve the whole network to be standardised. “We can’t support the project that is being presented to us because it doesn’t finish off on the clear objectives that we want the rail network to look like,” he said. “As an industry, I haven’t heard from anyone who’s satisfied.

Wednesday, October 28, 2020

That includes rail and transport workers, farmers, freight and port operators – none are happy with the current proposals.” The revised plan included re-railing an 88-kilometre section of track that was originally completed between Maryborough and Ararat in 2017. The project will also install passing loops to allow for more freight paths, as well as new or upgraded sidings at Maryborough, Donald and Merbein to improve flexibility in the network.

Missing pieces

But there was no indication in the plan that Sea Lake and Manangatang lines would be upgraded from broad gauge to standard gauge – plans that were a key part of the initial project. “The original project was to create competition between the three ports at Portland, Geelong and Melbourne,” Mr Jochinke said. “For grain growers, about 20 to 30 percent of our cost goes into freight. This project was designed to increase competition and productivity of the system and by retaining the lines as broad gauge and not upgrading them to 21-tonnes standard

gauge, which is what the proposal is under this current review, is quite frankly unacceptable.”

Pressure on roads

Mr Jochinke said it was crucial the governments completed the project as promised. “The under investment in rail puts more trucks and pressure on our roads. Our road network in many areas is crumbling away and needs significant investment in it as well,” he said. “We’re in a position here where we started with good intentions to create a functional system, but we’re now not even half done on this project. We can’t go back, so we have to go forward.” Mr Jochinke’s comments were echoed by Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster. She said the revised plan would fail to improve rail efficiency. “I’ve spoken with stakeholders across Mallee who have expressed their great disappointment that the original plan is not being adhered to, but rather a partial version, with yet more investigation to be completed,” she said. “This partial version will not deliver the cost savings or effi-

ciency improvements originally promised to the community, and highlights once again, the state Labor government’s focus on Melbourne, with the disregard for the regions that drive our economy.” The business case proposes works which require an additional $244-million toward the project, taking the overall investment in the Murray Basin Rail Project to $814-million. The Victorian government intends to commit $48.8-million in further funding. Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan said the State Government would seek the remaining $195.2-million from the Federal Government. “This project is too important to play politics with – we want the Commonwealth to come forward with their support so we can get more freight on trains and more trucks off regional roads,” she said. “Our rail freight and passenger network has transformed since the project was first developed, and this revised set of works will make sure this project delivers for Victorian farmers and freight operators well into the future.”

Weed detection 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

A biosecurity expert is urging Wimmera famers to keep an eye out for noxious weeds that are poisonous to both animals and humans. Agriculture Victoria leading biosecurity officer Michael Moerkerk said weeds such as cape tulip were likely to emerge on farms in the region during spring. He said the weeds were toxic to humans and livestock and in severe cases poisoning could lead to paralysis and death. “The plants typically flower from September to October, so now is the time for farmers to identify if their property is infected,” he said. Mr Moerkerk said even dry material from cape tulips could cause poisoning of stock. The flowers of both species, cape tulip one-leaf and cape tulip two-leaf, look similar, with six pink-salmon coloured petal-like segments with a yellow centre. Stems are usually zig-zagged in appearance and grow to 75cm in height. “Both species have long strap-like leaves and as the names imply, cape tulip one-leaf has only one leaf per plant, whereas cape tulip has two to three leaves per plant,” Mr Moerkerk said. He said there were two control methods to remove cape tulip from an infected area – the application of a registered herbicide, or the physical removal of the entire plant, including the roots, from the soil. “To control the spread of cape tulip early identification and management before the plants become established and set seed in an area is critical,” he said. Cape tulip one-leaf is a declared Regionally Controlled Weed in the Wimmera catchment under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 and all landowners have a responsibility to take all reasonable steps to prevent the growth and spread on their land. Cape tulip two-leaf is not as widely distributed throughout the Wimmera catchment and is declared as a Regionally Prohibited Weed.

More lambs, less weeds in systems 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY CINDY BENJAMIN

hat started as a drought mitigation measure for Horsham mixed-enterprise farmers Sam and Emily Eagle in 2014 has proven to be a valuable long-term livestock production and weed control tool.

Livestock containment areas allow the Eagles to rest their pastures and fodder crops, efficiently use a variety of feeds and restrict the spread of weed seeds. On top of this they have also seen benefits in growth rates and lambing percentages. Sam said their six or seven hectares available for containment was not expensive to build and had made it much easier to manage their livestock and cropping enterprises. “I’d definitely recommend building containment areas for sheep,” he said. “It is such a simple concept that has so many benefits. They really help to manage ground cover on your pastures and cropping paddocks, and in dry times they make feeding out much less stressful. “In the last drought we had up to 6500 sheep in containment, including lambs, and I could feed them all in less than three hours, and didn’t have to feed every day.” Sam and Emily use the containment areas for several purposes throughout the year.

Although they generally keep their pasture and cropping paddocks separate, the sheep play an important role in weed management across the whole farm. “The containment areas allow us to bring in feed from outside if necessary and feed out screenings from our own grain, being confident that any weed seeds that come with that feed won’t be spread around the farm,” Sam said. “It is easy to manage any weeds that germinate in such a defined and small area of the farm. “When we buy in sheep we shear them as soon as they arrive to remove any risk of them introducing weeds. “We use the containment areas to avoid overgrazing pastures, so the sheep eat the weeds like barley grass as well as the more palatable species. “They also provide an effective double-knock effect for weeds that have herbicide resistance.” The Eagles cut weedy paddocks for hay or silage and feed it out in the containment areas where they can control any weeds that germinate. Sam said above-ground pit silage had been very cost effective at about $10 a cubic meter, to cut the silage and store it under a tarp before feeding out in the containment paddocks. “Silage is a very good weed control tactic,” he said. “You cut it early, so you are stopping weed seed set, and after three days of

IN CONTROL: Horsham producer Sam Eagle uses every opportunity to maximise the synergies within a mixed farming operation. good weather you can spray out the paddock for a spray fallow.” The Eagles prefer to either graze a crop fully or grow it for grain, having found the ‘grain and graze’ tactic for dual purpose crops had an unacceptable yield penalty and opened up the canopy to allow weeds to grow through and compete in the grain phase. Sam said Moby barley plus clover was the best cover crop to graze and then spray out. “Oats and pasture are both cut either for hay or silage to conserve fodder and remove weed seeds,” he said. “In the cropping paddocks sheep will eat most of the weeds that have developed herbicide resistance, like wild radish, annual ryegrass, fleabane and whip thistle. They also generate

cash flow from cover crops and from grain crops that don’t go through to harvest due to drought, flood, weeds or frost. “Over summer the sheep reduce our herbicide costs and reduce the stubble load, which makes sowing easier. “Once the feed supply runs out, we put the sheep into containment until they start to lamb. This allows the pastures and crops to get ahead and gives us good feed to put the ewes into for lambing. The sheep can make interrow sowing more difficult in our CTF system so we have to be careful to cut the stubble 300mm or less above ground level so the stalks don’t lodge across the inter-row as the sheep graze the stubbles.” Having used narrow windrow burning as their harvest weed seed control

tactic for six years, Sam and Emily used a contract harvester with an impact mill for their harvester for the 2018 season. Sam said they were pleased with the job the mill did and were looking to purchase one of their own once the technology matured a little more. “We use crop-topping in pulses and windrowing in canola to stop weed seed set and also spray herbicide under the cutter bar in canola,” he said. “We test weeds for herbicide resistance so we know what still works and plan out a diverse herbicide program with multiple chemical groups used in a broad crop rotation.” Other than the grazing and weed management benefits, Sam and Emily have also found numerous productivity benefits for their 2500-strong merino flock. Sam said using the containment yards for joining had seen increased conception rates. “After preg-testing our ewes we make separate mobs for the twins and singles so we can better manage the ewe’s nutrition while in containment,” he said. “Once the lambs are weaned and are brought into containment their growth and feed utilisation rates are higher than when paddock grazed, meaning the returns on feed inputs are higher and we are able to either turn off hoggets earlier or at a higher weight.”

Hummer electric pick-up set to launch in 2022

MC has at long last revealed its new Hummer electric pickup truck with the self-proclaimed ‘supertruck’ due to be released in 2022, however question marks still hover around the possibility of an Australian introduction.

GMC has officially opened its order books for the giant EV, which will initially be available Stateside in ‘Edition 1’ form, flaunting a white exterior and unique Lunar Horizon interior. Visually, the Hummer looks almost exactly as we have come to expect thanks to the prolonged advertising campaign, being big, boxy and bold. The aforementioned white colour scheme is complemented by a series of black and gold highlights and ac-

cents including body cladding, the would-be radiator grille and alloy wheels. The grille itself follows a piano-key motif with each segment containing one of the letters to spell out ‘Hummer’, all of which are backlit, joining a set of flanking LED headlights to create a full-width light signature. The front fascia itself is narrow and squinty, but the defining feature of the front end is the bulbous front bumper adorned with a chunky skid plate containing two exposed recovery points. You would be hard-pressed to mistake the Hummer for anything else when looking at it from the side, with the bonnet and tub line being on the same plane with the steeply raked cabin seemingly plonked on top in the

classic three-box style. The contrasting white, black and gold theme is continued on the interior too, with the dash, seats, door veneer and centre console all being two-tone, while gold is used for the air vent surrounds, door inserts, infotainment screen surrounds and seat embossing. In an elegant and clutter-free design, all of the infotainment, climate and drivetrain controls are accessed via the 13.4-inch infotainment screen and two underlining rows of buttons. Key standard equipment on the Hummer EV includes Super Cruise capability, UltraVision with high-definition surround vision, digital key, 35-inch tyres, infinity roof, power rear drop glass and six-function MultiPro tailgate.

Power in the Hummer EV comes from three separate electric motors which combine to produce a ‘GMestimated’ 746kW-15,592N, resulting in an estimated 0-100kmh time of three seconds – confirmed figures are yet to surface. On a full charge, GMC expects its new truck to be capable of travelling 563km, however, like the performance figures, an exact battery capacity is yet to be confirmed. Under the skin, the Hummer EV rides on adaptive air suspension with an industry-first ‘CrabCrawl’ function, allowing the car to move diagonally courtesy of its all-wheel-steering system. Full underbody guards and rock sliders add an extra level of robustness to

the package, while the new ‘Extract Mode’ allows the air suspension to raise the body by up to six inches for added ground clearance when needed. Priced from $A159,073 plus onroads, the first edition, as the name implies, will be the first version of the Hummer EV to hit the US market, followed in turn by the 3X, 2X and 2 in 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively, each one getting progressively cheaper. As for an Australian launch, GMSV is keeping its cards close to its chest, but said it was pleased with the amount of global excitement surrounding the new supertruck. – Callum Hunter

Limited to just two examples of each, the First Edition X5 M and X6 M Competitions will arrive Down Under early next year, comprising four of just 500 units available globally. Flaunting unique paint colours and finish, the first editions roll on unique black M light-alloy wheels and brandish carbon-fibre body panels. Under the bonnet resides the same twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine, still good for 460kW-750Nm but this time adorned with an M Carbon engine compartment cover for an extra sense of occasion when opening the bonnet. Zero to 100kmh takes the same 3.8 seconds as before with drive still sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. For reference, the regular X5 M and X6 M

Competitions come as standard with BMW Live Cockpit Professional, a 12.3-inch M Multifunction digital instrument cluster, 12.3-inch infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay compatibility, wireless phone charging, Harman Kardon surround sound system, ambient interior lighting, automatic four-zone climate-control air-conditioning, BMW Gesture Control, BMW Individual instrument panel finished in ‘walknappa’ leather, ConnectedDrive services, DAB+ digital radio, and heated seats with lumbar support. BMW Laserlight, Parking Assistant Plus, Comfort Access with proximity function, soft-close doors, a panoramic sunroof, temperature-controlled cupholders and a tyre pressure monitoring system are also included while safety equipment consists of BMW’s Driving Assistant Professional suite of advanced driver-assist systems, Intelligent Personal Assistant and Reversing Assistant. – Callum Hunter

MW Australia has ripped the covers off its latest X5 M and X6 M Competition duo, with the ‘first edition’ versions offering an unrivalled level of exclusivity.

Christian Devotions

It’s Spring, and the rains we have had are welcome in many ways. At my house, the front lawns are looking lush and beautiful. But it wasn’t like that; until recently, the lawns were full of weeds. How did that happen? Over the years the weeds have been pulled out, or treated, yet they still managed to appear, until finally there was hardly any lawn left! It felt hopeless and way beyond me. Then along came a very kind person who said they would take care of it; and they, gave so much to make it new. The weeds were treated, the ground ploughed, seed sown, fed, watered and nurtured. At no effort from me and every effort from this kind person. That reminds me so much of my life, and perhaps everybody’s? ‘Weeds’ creep in (bad attitudes, thoughts, actions etc) and take a hold. Guilt and shame threaten to overwhelm and take over. Then the Gardener comes and offers to step in and take away the weeds and help us to start over again. Are we willing to let go and start anew in the strength and help of another? In Jesus Christ, God offers to make us new and remove the old ways. We cannot do it on or own. “…anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” 2 Corinthians 5:17. Susan Pearse - Uniting Church

Grampians cricket set G

BY ONE SHORT

rampians Cricket Association action will get underway on November 7.

Officials are working their way through current Cricket Victoria and council protocols to ensure a successful season. Competition will start with the Henry Gunstone T20 Cup. The first two rounds will be run as ‘double headers’, with two rounds played on each of the first two Saturdays, one round on the third Saturday, together with the final, which will be between the top two teams from the preliminary rounds. The competition will continue after the T20 final with one-day matches. This season, A Grade will consist of just five teams, with both Chalambar and Halls Gap requesting relegation to a lower grade. This leaves seven or eight in B Grade, depending on Aradale being able to field a team. Under-16s will be the same, with four teams, however, St Andrews will replace Aradale. Under-16s will start on Friday, No-

vember 6, while the under-13 competition will get underway on Sunday, November 8, with seven teams. Grampians Cricket Association is attempting to form a girls team to enter the proposed female competition being run by Horsham Cricket Association. This will be under the tutelage of Swifts-Great Western’s Leon Molony. If any young lady would like to try their hand at cricket, people can contact either Leon or any other SGW player. Australia is the current world champion in women’s cricket. While all formal inter-association and inter-regional senior men’s cricket is on hold, associations are encouraged to organise their own matches, which might see Grampians playing Horsham in some sort of format. This year, GCA will be under the leadership of Marc Brilliant, after president Dave Turner stepped down after five years in the role. Luke Stevens fills the vacancy left by Dave’s departure, with all other positions being retained by the incumbents.

Third premiership for Astbury Tatyoon’s David Astbury is now a three-time AFL premiership player after helping Richmond to a 31-point win over Geelong on Saturday night. Astbury started in defence before moving into the ruck to relieve Toby Nankervis. He then swapped roles with Noah Balta, returning to the backline to curb the influence of Cats spearhead Tom

Hawkins, one goal. Astbury kept the Coleman medallist goal-less for the rest of the match and finished with seven disposals. The Tigers were 15 points down at the Gabba at half time but fought back to secure back-to-back flags, led by a brilliant display from midfielder Dustin Martin. Martin, who booted four goals from

21 disposals, went on to make history by becoming the first player to win three Norm Smith Medals as best on ground. Richmond selected Astbury, now 29, with pick 35 in the 2009 AFL draft. A knee injury hampered much of his 2020 season, but he returned in time to play a key role in Richmond’s finals campaign.

New challenge for Hancock BY DYLAN DE JONG

Horsham man is set to be part of a management team at the forefront of a new era for Australian motocross championships in Australia.

Horsham Motorcycle Club secretary Mark Hancock was appointed as race director for a new ProMX series. ProMX was formed to replace MX Nationals, which came to an end earlier this year. Williams Event Management managing director Kevin Williams announced his organisation would step down after 25 years of promoting the MX Nationals series. The 2020 event, which was to be in March, was cancelled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The rebranding to ProMX comes under direction from Motorcycling Australia and will drive management and promotion of the championship for 2021 and beyond. Mr Hancock said he was excited to be at the helm of a new era for the sport in Australia. “My role as a race director will be to ensure that all the rules are conducted over the period of the entire event and training more officials to be able to run race meets,” he said. Mr Hancock said the new series would have three categories for

men, women and veterans. The series will also have classes for differing skill-levels from MX3, for young up-and-comers, MX2, for ‘future champions’, and an MX1 class for Australia’s best riders. The series will take place in seven locations across Australia, including two events in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and one event in South Australia. Mr Hancock said forward planning with the series was a positive signal for the sport. But he said events would be entirely dependent on the COVID-19 pandemic and closures to borders. “There will be a fair bit of travelling involved as part of my new appointment,” he said. “I’m a bit nervous about isolation rules, but hopefully by the time we get away next year a lot of those bans will be gone, and we will be able to move about more freely. “Changes to those bans will be critical for the championships to proceed.” Mr Hancock has had a long affiliation with motocross and has pushed to boost its position in the Wimmera. In 2018, he helped to lay groundwork that would see an internationally recognised world junior motocross event take place in Horsham.

Mark Hancock

The event attracted riders from 21 countries to compete at Dooen, with thousands of spectators in attendance. “That was a great experience, not only to bring it to Horsham but also great for Australia, because it was the first time it ever happened,” Mr Hancock said. He said he ‘cherished’ the opportunities he had enjoyed as a member of Horsham Motorcycle Club. “It’s been a fantastic journey with the people I’ve met and the things we’ve been able to do to progress

more. I’ve got to give it up for the Horsham club because without their help over the years and without a great group of people, none of these things could ever have been achieved,” he said. “We’re actually tiny in the Australian scheme of things in terms of what other clubs have. But what we lack in size, we make up in effort and commitment. It really shows on the track and is really respected right across the industry. Our facilities are second to none.”

Muszkieta champion Horsham Racing Pigeon Club’s third and final weekend of racing from Wodonga saw a Breeders Plate for one-year-old pigeons and an open race for older and one-year-old entrants. Separate releases occurred 40 minutes apart on Sunday. The first release, at 7am, was for the Breeders Plate and at 7.40am the second batch of 346 old and young pigeons was released for the flight back to 14 club members’ back-yard lofts. For the third consecutive weekend, the later mob comprised older, more experienced race pigeons that clearly out-flew the younger batch by 80 minutes, averaging 72 kilometres an hour for the five hour 31 minute flight. They arrived in Horsham 40 minutes ahead of the leading pigeons in the Breeders Plate, which averaged 59kmh despite the 40-minute later release. John Muszkieta once again rose to the occasion with his leading pigeon in the open race, 3 minutes 20 seconds ahead of the second placed pigeon. Muszkieta has won eight of the 18 races in the 2020 aggregate season. He has won the 2020 club championship from John Aisbett in second place. The McPhee family was successful in the Breeders Plate race and was third overall in the club aggregate for 2020. Results: First, John Muszkieta, averaged 1210.2 metres a minute, MM, over 5 hours, 31 mins, 5 secs for the 401-kilometre flight, winning by 3 minutes 20 seconds from second placed Dennis Smith’s leading pigeon which averaged 1198.21 MM. Third was Brian Watts’ leading pigeon, 3 minutes 52 seconds later at 1184.65 MM. Breeders Plate: 1st, The McPhee family in 6 hrs 51 min and 48 secs averaging 979.63 MM; 2nd, Dennis Smith, 1 min 25 secs later at 976.27 MM; and 3rd Rob Nelson, 7 seconds later at 976.02 MM.

Juniors return to court BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham basketball leaders are eagerly awaiting a return to junior training on Monday following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions on indoor sport.

From November 2, under-18s in regional Victoria can resume indoor non-contact sport and physical recreation. Horsham Amateur Basketball Association president Jon Fitzgerald has welcomed a ‘reprieve’ for junior sport and said he hoped a return to senior sport was not too far away. “We’ve been a long time without sport, which has been hard for a lot of people,” he said. “Some of the kids we have are used to playing two or three sports a day, so to cut it off completely has been really tough. “We’re rapt to be on the downside of a long period of restrictions and things are definitely looking better now.” Mr Fitzgerald said the HABA committee had been working hard behind the scenes in line with State Government and Basketball Victoria directives. Basketball Victoria has developed return to sport guidelines for its 161 associations and more than 500 clubs, providing a framework to reactivate the sport ‘in a safe and suitable manner’. The framework includes five reactiva-

tion levels, each with a detailed set of rules to follow. Mr Fitzgerald said from Monday, the Horsham association was allowed to resume at ‘Orange 20’ level. “This means we can have a maximum of 20 under-18s per court for non-contact training,” he said. “The kids who are training need to be registered for our summer domestic competition, which will run during terms one and two next year. “We’re really excited to be able to run the summer competition as well and we’re very keen to get kids back on the court to prepare.”

Opportunities

Mr Fitzgerald said he hoped further easing of restrictions flagged for November 23 would allow for contact training sessions before basketball leaders started selections for next year’s squads and representative teams. “Hopefully we can also open up opportunities for seniors at some stage,” he said. “It’s been a tough year for everyone, without sport.” The association had to cancel a wide range of activities throughout the pandemic, including its winter domestic competition and Country Basketball League representative duties. Mr Fitzgerald took over as president at the association’s annual meeting on June 23 and has had an unusual start to his time at the helm.

“We have seven new board members, all from different backgrounds and sports, and we’re all keen to get basketball up and running again,” he said. “We’ve done a lot of work behind the scenes – we’ve got a new kitchen and canteen area and have upgraded our change rooms – now we just need players.” Mr Fitzgerald said he had received plenty of positive responses about activities resuming from the basketball community. “I’ve had a heap of messages from parents and players who are keen to get going again,” he said. “It’s been a long time coming and hopefully we can get everyone back on board. “From chatting to other associations, it looks like ours might be one of the first to get squad and representative basketball back up and running, which is great. “We’re definitely feeling good about where we are at – the return to junior training is less than a week away, which is just awesome.” Mr Fitzgerald said junior basketballers could register for the domestic summer competition online at register.horsham basketball.com.au. He said people could also access links and further information on the Horsham Basketball Facebook page.

Clash under lights

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

arring a draw, Central Wimmera Tennis Association’s pennant competition will have a clear leader after a top-of-the-table clash under lights on Friday night.

Undefeated Drung South and Kalkee will go head to head at Kalkee in a match expected to go down to the wire. The teams sit first and second on the ladder on 12 points, eight clear of their nearest challenger. Drung South proved too strong for Horsham Lawn last week, enjoying a six-set triumph on Saturday, 9-81 to 3-62. Dylan Emmerson, Logan Casey and Sandra Casey won three sets each for the winners, with Logan’s focus on returning sliced backhands at training during the week paying off against Graeme Wood. Horsham Lawn’s Cherie Wood and Tahlia Thompson continued their undefeated partnership, triumphing 8-4, with Thompson also enjoying an impressive singles win over Janelle Knight, 8-1. Ian Nitschke and Peter Hayes got St Michaels off to a strong start against Kalkee on Friday,

Ian Nitschke, St Michaels, in action against Kalkee on Friday with the teams taking advantage of the public holiday to ensure tennis duties were done and dusted ahead of AFL grand final day. The Saints men won their opening rubber against Jeff and Jordan Friberg, 8-2, before Kalkee went on to assert dominance by winning the next five sets. Hayes and Angela Nitschke scored important, convincing singles wins but the damage had already been done and the Kees ran out four-set winners, 8-75 to 4-64. Homers are on the board following a tight win over Central Park at Central Park on Thursday night. Homers started the evening on a strong note, winning the

first two rubbers, before Central Park won the next five. The visitors went on to claim three of the last five sets – including three singles encounters – to win the match on games, 6-81 to 6-65. Central Park’s Josie Kerr was the only player to win all three sets for the evening. Homers will look to go back to back this week but might find the going a bit tougher when they host St Michaels. Horsham Lawn will look to bounce back with a win over Central Park at home. Ladder: Drung South 12 points, 620 percent; Kalkee 12, 227.27; St Michaels 4, 100; Horsham Lawn 4, 100; Homers 4, 33.33; Central Park 0, 24.14.

Sport Vol. 23 No. 18 Wednesday, October 28, 2020

High hopes Surprise Baby will carry the hopes of the Wimmera when it takes to the hallowed turf at Flemington on Tuesday to contest the $8-million Lexus Melbourne Cup. The six-year-old gelding, trained by McKenzie Creek’s Paul Preusker, was an unlucky fifth last year but is among the favourites to take out the world’s richest handicap race in 2020. Reigning Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Craig Williams will take the ride after jumping off last year’s winner, Vow and Declare. Preusker stable spokeswoman Holly McKechnie – pictured riding Surprise Baby, left, in an exhibition gallop on Horsham Cup day earlier this month – said Surprise Baby was the type of horse you would wish for ‘every day of the week’. “There’s something about this horse that has captured the imagination of people and he seems to be a real favourite for the general public,” she said.
