Offenders learn consequence of shop theft By David Lee AS phase one of Operation Consequence, which targeted shop theft at local retail stores, came to an end last week, the Shepparton Police have revealed that the first three months of the operation saw a 46 percent increase in the number of offenders processed.

EXPEDITION AN EXPERIENCE… Goulburn Valley Grammar School Year 10 Students, James Humphris, Louisa Taylor, Olivia Slot, Jack Wenske, Molly Ingram and Tegan Lissington were among 29 other students to take part in the World Challenge Expedition that saw them head to Zambia and Botswana for four weeks to give back to the communities.

Students take on worldly challenge By David Lee IT’S not often that students get the chance to really give back to a community in need, but that’s exactly what 29 students at Goulburn Valley Grammar School did during their four week visit to Zambia and Botswana as part of their World Challenge Expedition. The students spent their time completing community projects including building mud huts, digging trenches for the foundations of a library as well as volunteering at a pharmacy and an aged care facility. Year 10 Students, James Humphris, Louisa Taylor, Tegan Lissington, Molly Ingram and Olivia Slot where among the 29 on the

expedition, saying that although things were very different compared to Australia, everybody there was very friendly. “It was great knowing we were helping out other people. “As well as learning how to organise our own travel, budget, accommodation and how to really work together, we learned a few words in their language while we were over there, which was fun. “The trenches were pretty hard to do. It really makes you appreciate how hard they work just to live a normal life.” For further information on the World Challenge Expeditions please visit www.worldchallenge.com.au or call 1300 728 568.

Dr Stone pushes for rail enquiry By David Lee THE train was late, the station not manned and the lack of information available to rail customers were just the start of the issues noticed by Federal Member for Murray, Dr Sharman Stone, when she boarded a V/Line train from Euroa to Melbourne last week to meet with Premier, Daniel Andrews, V/Line representatives and Public Transport Victoria. A mong scheduling issues, Dr Stone discussed reduced speeds through parts of the rail line due to issues with newly replaced sleepers with Premier Andrews, who revealed that he has been issued with a request to compile a Commuter Railway Strategy draft that must be completed in six months. The possibility of new trains was also on the table after the commitment by the premier to purchase another 20 trains, but Dr Stone is concerned we will miss out. Dr Stone said, “Trains are a critical part of life in regional Victoria, and we need a reliable, safe and comfortable rail service in our part of the state. “Premier, Daniel Andrews was very responsive to the needs of regional rail services,

for both freight and passenger customers. “It’s a shame that in Australia we have been neglected when it comes to rail services and instead a focus has been put on putting more cars on the road. “When the new trains that have been purchased get put on the track we will have to be sure some of those come to our region because we just don’t have enough trains to accommodate the community’s needs. “Another thing we need to look into is the introduction of WiFi on trains and dedicated

carriages for those who want to continue working. We also need better bike carrying capacity. “I think we also need to revisit the ‘shuttle versus extra rail services’ debate. It’s important to really get a good response from the public on what they want. “Prem ier A nd rews also com m it ted to investigate how best to deal with the 30 unguarded level crossings on the Shepparton to Seymour line,” Dr Stone said.

Take on the Telstra Tower By David Lee TAKING on more than 140 steps that climb the Telstra Tower in central Shepparton might sound a little daunting, but doing it for Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation will take the weight off at each step.

The suggestions, which could see items included in the master plan, can be made on Greater Shepparton City Council’s website through an online forum or filling out the survey, via the citizen journalism program, where 10 participants will collect video and photos about the cemetery from their perspective, through three pop-ups street feedback opportunities, through a community exchange workshop and by being present at a Draft Master Plan presentation. Dates and times are still to be confirmed for the pop-ups, community exchange workshop and draft master plan but the community can keep up-to-date by following Council’s social media pages for updates. G re ater S heppa r ton C it y C ou nc i l Di re c tor Infrastructure, Steve Bowmaker said, “This is a once in a

generation opportunity for community members to provide feedback on what they would like to see included as part of the future development for the Pine Lodge Cemetery. “Once we have community member’s feedback we will draft the Master Plan which will be available to be reviewed by the community for any further comments and feedback. “We are also making 10 cameras available to 10 people to video their suggestions and thoughts about the Pine Lodge Cemetery, and yes you can keep the camera. Simply go to the council’s website and fill out some questions on Citizen Journalism then we will review your answers, and if successful, we will contact you and post the camera for you to get started.

Reduce the risk of reckless arson By David Lee AS the hotter weather begins to kick back in and with half of Summer still remaining, Crime Stoppers is calling on the community to be alert, launching their Bushfire Arson Campaign, which puts a focus on their message ‘if you see something, say something.’ With arson being attributed as the cause of 50 percent of all bushfires across the country, including 1,444 suspicious fires and almost 400 people charged for arsonrelated offences in Victoria during the 2013-2014 bushfire season, the campaign has seen just under a 300 percent increase

statewide in public reporting and community involvement since its introduction two years ago. Crime Stoppers Victoria CEO, Samantha Hunter said, “Victoria is one of the highest bushfire risk areas in the world, and fire activity affects us all. “Despite experiencing some milder weather conditions over recent weeks, we are only midway through the Summer season and there is still a significant stretch of Summer weather ahead of us. “Preventing bushfires is ever yone’s responsibility, and we are asking local residents to remain vigilant over the coming

weeks to help reduce the threats in their community.” Crime Stoppers Victoria Community Manager, Peter Brown said, “Any reduction in bushfires that the community can be involved in, is fantastic. “We encourage people to take a proactive stance to help reduce recklessly lit fires that threaten lives and property.” I f you think you have information about someone in your community who is deliberately lighting fires or engaging in reckless fire related behavior, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report securely online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Letters to the Editor

We welcome letters to the Editor but they are not guaranteed to be included and may be edited for reasons of style or content. Letters will not be eligible for consideration if they contain defamatory material, or information of a personal nature which is not in the public domain.

PLEASED WITH SPEED ZONE CHANGE

Dear Editor, In regard to the article in last week’s edition of The Adviser regarding extending the 80km/h speed zone on the alternative route road to 450 metres north of Ford Road, I agree with this decision as during school dropoff/pick up times there are many cars coming out of Ford Road to go to the school. It is dangerous in a 100km/h zone. There is another part of this road that needs the speed sign changed. As the road approaches the railway crossing just south of the school, where you have to turn left to cross it, there is an 80km/h speed sign just several metres from the crossing! But just past it is a recommended speed sign of 40 km/h. Why would it be there, so close to any railway crossing, let alone one where you have to turn to cross over it? VicRoads needs to remove the 80km/h sign ASAP. Yours sincerely, Maz Steward, Numurkah

IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT THE POLITICS

Dear Editor, Is anybody else with me when I say that a leadership spill is absolutely ridiculous? There is but one thing that the Australian people have control over when it comes to the government, and that’s the right to choose who it is we wish to lead our great country. While I do understand that the party inevitably choose who they think the best fit is within their party to be the face of their party in an attempt to give them the best chance at winning an election, however it is the people’s choice whether or not they like that face and if the party loses, they need to face up to the decision, take a breath, re-group and try better next time. I mean, it’s only a four year wait and if they truly do believe they are the right party with the right ‘leader,’ the best candidate in the people’s opinion, then the simple truth is they will be voted in. The Labour Government lost a lot of respect from many across the country, including myself, with their leadership spill fiasco that saw Kevin Rudd replaced by Julia Gillard and now the Liberals are doing the same thing, fighting like cats and dogs. A leadership spill does nothing for a party aside from a large reduction in respect from the people. It makes me wonder if the Liberals will be voted out at the next election for acting so childish. I suppose though, it’s all just politics, as it always has been and always

will be. Yours sincerely, David James, Shepparton

IS GOD ALL ABOUT LOVE?

Dear Editor, This letter I write in response to the letter in The Adviser last week by I Hay (God teaches to use the heart). I Hay believes it’s wrong for government to take the life of a criminal. Was it not God that passed sentence of death on man because all have sinned? (Romans 5:12). Therefore, the Creator was the first executioner. Where does I Hay get the idea that murderers should be spared the death penalty and that a God of ‘love’ is disapproving of execution? I suspect that I Hay is imbued with the ‘spirit’ of humanism. If one is a Biblical Christian they would know that the Laws of God have not been abolished. If they were, then there would be no sin, for the Law of God defines sin. It is quite clear that murderers are to be put to death. (Exod. 20:13; Deut. 5:17 and many others). There are other capital crimes mentioned in the Bible. In fact, the Bible’s God told the Israelites to slay all the Canaanites because of their wickedness as they were beyond redemption once their iniquity was full. (Gen. 15:16). I think that I Hay should re-consider why they think as they do. Yours sincerely, Jay Nauss, Glen Aplin

STATEMENT ON PARTY ROOM MEETING

Dear Editor, After the defeat of the motion to open up the two new leadership positions, the Prime Minister stated he heard the message loud and clear and will now be more committed to a steady, collegiate and engaging approach. Clearly the most important outcome for this parliament is to ensure that we do not return to a Labor government any time soon. Labor invariably means spending beyond our means and a failure to build the economy. While the electorate of Murray has some of the highest youth unemployment in the country, at the same time businesses are stymied by an inability to find both skilled and unskilled employees. The next 18 months will be critical. We must be able to communicate good policy more effectively and to have it supported and implemented. Yours sincerely, Federal Member for Murray Dr Sharman Stone

Make your next Christmas debt free JANUARY, for a lot of residents across the Goulburn Valley, marks the landing of post Christmas credit card statements, a daunting thought for many; however it is possible to avoid that overwhelming feeling explains GMCU General Manager, René Deen. “Christmas can be an extremely expensive time of year and often leaves people financially stretched, with large credit card debt and escalating interest rates. “It’s not only the presents purchased for family and friends, but also - additional entertaining means higher grocery bills and we generally sit down to a feast of our favourites, including turkey, ham, puddings and all the trimmings, without a thought of how our mum, wife or partner managed the additional expenses within the normal household budget.” According to René, the GMCU’s Christmas Club account can put an end to those post-Christmas financial blues. “A Christmas Club account allows you to start saving from the beginning of the new year, so that by the time Christmas comes around you can be well prepared to curb the pattern of previous years. Christmas Club accounts are also a great way of saving for those who normally find it a difficult task. “With more than one third of Australians describing paying for Christmas as ‘stressful’ the Christmas Club accounts just make sense. “It’s an easy way to save because you can automate a regular direct debit payment from any one of your nominated accounts; as frequently as is suitable for you, then six weeks out from Christmas a simple transfer of your funds can be arranged, straight into your normal spending account and you can begin your Christmas shopping – without the fear of a large debt to start the new year. “GMCU members are often amazed at how quickly the funds seem to accumulate, even with just one small weekly or monthly contribution to their account.” To find out more about opening a Christmas Club account or the

This year’s event will be a fully catered, garden party luncheon with special guest speakers Professor Brenda Button, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Royal Children’s Hospital and Natasha Flynn, Medical Herbalist at Cabot Health.

AS phase one of Operation Consequence, which targeted shop theft at local retail stores, came to an end last week, the Shepparton Police have revealed that the first three months of the operation saw a 46 percent increase in the number of offenders processed. The operation, which was designed as a response to the crime trends in the community, saw uniformed and undercover officers patrol stores around Shepparton to catch offenders in the act. Greater Shepparton Police Service Area Crime Prevention Of f icer, L ead i ng S en ior Constable Glenn Gibson said, “The operation has been seen as a success and we expect to continue with phase two. “ I f you’r e g o i n g t o b e

i nvolve d i n t h at t y p e of activity, you will be caught. We take this type of offense very seriously. “We’re concerned about the retail theft and the perception of offenders that retail stores are soft targets. This operation is all about changing that. “Shop stealers are driving our crime stats. “We do get a lot of retailers under-reporting thefts, which not only makes things difficult for the police but also lets the offenders know that they got away with it, meaning they are more likely to offend again. “We encourage retailers to get involved and if you are in a situation where you have caught an offender in the act, be vigilant and report it to police.”

Unemployment issues of region addressed By David Lee WITH figures released last week stating that Greater Shepparton had the highest youth unemployment rate in the state and the third highest nationally, Federal Assistant Employment Minister, Luke Hartsuyker visited the region, to address the growing issues and deliver the news that the Work for the Dole program would get an overhaul. Visiting Tatura Abattoirs, who announced it would be creating 50 full time jobs last year, The Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton, who just helped 11 locals through phase one of the Work for the Dole program and Pactum Dairy in Shepparton, who since opening last year have filled 45 positions at the plant with a further 15 opening soon, Minister Hartsuyker spoke of the next phase of the Work for the Dole program to be rolled out after the success of the first phase. As of June 1 this year, the second phase of the program will see the number of locations that

it is currently running at, go from 18 to being rolled out nationally and will also see the age bracket include people aged 30 to 49. Minister Hartsuyker said, “Employment is a major issue in this region. “The best thing we can do for young people is build a strong economy and give them the best chance at gaining employment and the government is working toward that. “Often, many young people don’t see the benefits of an entry level job that could give them a stepping stone toward their future career, and that is a real problem. There are also a lot of basic skills that young people lack, such as how to dress for an interview and this has come from an intergenerational issue where their parents haven’t been employed. “We are attacking these problems from a range of angles. “The program is all about giving young people the basic skills and getting them out there and contributing to the workforce.”

FREEZING TEMPERATURES… A group shot in front of the Summer Palace

Marketing in China IT’S one of the fastest growing economies in the world and recently 30 students from Shepparton, Albury, Bendigo and Bundoora campuses of La Trobe University had the opportunity to study some of China’s top companies and combine a little tourism as well. Initially over 100 students applied and George Adams of Shepparton was one of the successful 30 that went. The idea was to give the university stu d e nts a c h a nc e to s e e f ir sth a nd marketing and business management in a top growth environment. Flying into the capital, Beijing their first visit was to the University of Finance and Economics where they attended lectures on China’s GDP and international trade. They also visited Baidu, China’s equivalent of Google, Google itself is banned in China so Baidu controls the internet and restricts social media but does provide their own version of Facebook called ‘We Chat.’ George says that We Chat has now caught on big time in the US but has not made it to Australia as yet. Now for some tourism, yes they made it to the Silk Market. George bought up large on jumpers. It was the middle of winter with top temps of only 5 degrees. They saw the Great Wall and it was awesome George said but the climb to the towers was quite steep. Next the Forbidden City and it was huge. The throne pagoda still displays the emperor’s throne from the Ming Dynasty and you can see the emperor’s apartments and passageways where servants scurried along to serve the elite. Next they visited Old Beijing with its ancient houses built 500 years ago, still inhabited by families. And the Summer Palace, George said you can see why it would have been a special place for the Emperors in Summer, with its beautiful painted buildings and garden walkway and a huge lake, but it was winter and the lake frozen over. Now back to business, during a series of lectures at the university they studied economics, investments and how to deal

with local business and the very much needed Guanxi or saving ‘face,’ you could spend years getting to know someone before gaining their full trust. They visited Weber Shanwick, an online marketing company specialising in western companies like Nike and McDonalds, both very big in China but not as big as KFC. They boarded the bullet train to Shanghai. Travelling at 325kph it takes just 6 hours to get there. George says the bullet train was quite new, very clean, and made the journey very exciting as you passed rural china. In Shanghai a tour of the city’s financial centre, the building they visited went up 100 stories and the view was spectacular, the financial company at the top was run by a Japanese firm. George found Shanghai to be ver y western compared to Beijing and there were a lot of expats, particularly in the financial sector. They looked over a huge steelworks where Australian iron ore was converted into part of China’s 800 million tonnes of steel each year, and a visit to the Volkswagen plant where they have just built their 10 millionth car. Another ride on the bullet train back to Beijing, as part of a real estate lecture they are told that land in Beijing can sell for AUD$10,000 per square metre. Then an interesting lecture on how China gets away with knock off brands. We have Burger King (Hungry Jacks) and they have Cheese Burger, instead of Pizza Hut it’s Pizza HuH, and instead of Apple it’s Xiaomi. The interesting thing is that both Apple and Xiaomi are made in the same factory, Xiaomi use a different phone cover, their phones are sold to the locals for just $100 making them the third biggest operator in the world. Back in Shepparton, George and his fellow students have filed an assignment on what they experienced in China. George says it was very interesting, lots of hard work but also lots of fun. Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance
