Council deliberates on $42M new SAM Plans project multi-million dollar boost over 10 years

By David Lee AFTER six months of deliberation, the release of a draft business case for the new Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) for public comment was the ‘big ticket item’ discussed at Greater Shepparton City Council’s first meeting for 2015 last night, with the case suggesting the new $42M state-of-the-art SAM be located at the eastern side of Victoria Park Lake. The 31 page summary business case details the proposal for the new 1,260 sqm, five storey building which plans to encompass a grand hall, an 80 seat theatrette, a 250 sqm function

space with a fully operational commercial kitchen, restaurant/café and a ‘rooftop garden’ on level three overlooking the lake, with projections seeing it completed by 2018-2019. The plans also detail the combining of Gallery Kaiela and the Visitor Information Centre at the new location. The business case also projected an economic boost for the region with a cost benefit analysis finding a $9.15M boost is projected at the end of ten years of operation, brought about by an extra 3,000 overnight visitors in the first year and an additional 10,500 by year 10.

The proposal also suggests the new SAM is estimated by the tenth year to have created 23 direct tourism jobs and 46 total (direct + indirect) tourism jobs. Last night’s council meeting was designed to allow councillors to vote on whether or not to release the business case for community consultation for an eight week period.

Partnership to give region one voice A PARTNERSHIP between Greater Shepparton City Council and the Committee for Greater Shepparton will help the region speak with one voice, after both signed of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Monday. Greater Shepparton City Council CEO, Gavin Cator said, “While council is not a member of the committee, this agreement outlines how we will work collaboratively to influence policy and advocate for solutions that will assist in making a Greater Shepparton. “Council and the committee have legitimate differences in governance, roles and responsibilities, and it is these differing strengths that can be maximised for the benefit of the Greater Shepparton community.” Committee for Greater Shepparton Interim Chair, David McKenzie said, “This collaboration means both of us are showing a visible demonstration of goodwill and shows a mutual recognition that strong partnerships are needed to take the region forward. “From the committee’s perspective, the working relationship we have with the council through the CEO and previous and current mayors has been very positive and we are looking forward to the future. “The premise of MoU is about working in good faith and respecting the obligations and strategic objectives of the other party while working towards a common goal.

PAVING WAY OF FUTURE… Committee for Greater Shepparton Interim Chair, David McKenzie, Committee for Greater Shepparton CEO, Matt Nelson, Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dennis Patterson and Greater Shepparton City Council CEO, Gavin Cator formed an official partnership on Monday, signing a Memorandum of Understanding that is set to unite the two groups to pave the way for the region’s future.

“That common goal is about influencing public policy and prioritising initiatives that will strengthen the Greater Shepparton economy and make the region a more vibrant place to live, work and invest.”

Matchbox gets upsized for Drawing Wall By David Lee ALMOST anybody you speak with will remember crawling around on the floor, Matchbox car in hand and this has been the inspiration behind Melbourne based Artist, Lee Ward’s installation on the SAM Drawing Wall. The wall in the foyer of the Eastbank Centre has been filled with 37 Matchbox cars that are all a part of Lee’s collection from when he was a child. From an ambulance, ute, kombi and V8 tractor to an old Chevrolet, truck, steam roller, caravan, Cadillac and dune buggy, Lee spent the week

with his ‘matchbox’ versions in hand and upsized them to fill the wall. Lee said, “I still had all my cars from when I was a kid and I’d been drawing them all my life, so it just fit. “The cars are something people can relate to because almost everybody has played with a Matchbox car. “Choosing what cars went up really depended on what I thought people would relate to the most. “I think people will like the informality in a formal setting. “I had suggested that once it was done to

leave pencils on the tables so as people can colour them in. It would be the only time you’d be actually allowed to draw on a wall. “This ties in with the upcoming Dream Machines exhibit and everyone will get the chance to draw their own car during the exhibit. I have created scenes that will be on display in the exhibit where people can take a pencil and draw in their own car.”

INSPIRED BY CHILDHOOD… Melbourne based Artist, Lee Ward used Matchbox cars from his childhood as his inspiration for the latest instalment on the Drawing Wall. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

Youth Adventures and Time for Me Worker, Trish Edgar, who has a 14 year old son in the Autism spectrum, said, “There is a lot of Autism, ADD and ADHD in the local community and it is rare to have an information event like this. “These types of events are great for helping make the first steps into finding information or as a refresher for those who have been in their position for a while. “I’d like to thank my co-worker, Rita Bergamin who has helped me to facilitate the Youth Adventures program and helped to make it such a success.” Local resident, Shannon Leahy, who has three boys in the Autism spectrum, said, “It’s been a steep learning curve for a mother of three boys with Autism. It’s been challenging, but at the same time I’ve experienced a lot of things that have helped me to grow. “As tough as it is though, it is a blessing as well. “It’s an amazing feeling to see your child go beyond what was expected and to reach goals that may have seemed out of reach. “I enjoy going to these types of events

LETTERs

Opinion

Letters to the Editor

STILL NO TALK ON CLIMATE Dear Editor, Ever since the ‘knighting of Prince Phillip’ we have heard and seen thousands of words spoken by politicians, media people and other interested observers. All of this has been conducted at a frenetic pace with our Prime Minister fairly ‘in the frame.’ The Prime Minister has survived this melodrama although he probably faces an uncertain future in holding on to his position, but that is for the future. Much of the talk has been centred around family finances, budgets, national security and employment. All good fodder for politicians but out

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.

here in the real world, I am sure that there is a real concern that nearly all those concerned, politicians, media and other interested observers failed to involve the ‘c’ word in their dialogue. In this case the ‘c’ word does not mean cancer, nor cash, nor conduct, nor criminality, nor cleverness or the most other relevant ‘c’ words, but it is the climate. All the good intentions of politicians and other community leaders will come to nothing if climate change is not included in all future deliberations. I can only hope that there is a sudden surge in climate dialogue but I will not hold my breath. As always, the clock is ticking. Yours sincerely, Bill Brown Shepparton

NO VISION FOR FUTURE VICTORIAN AGRICULTURE Dear Editor, Daniel Andrews’ refusal to commit to doubling food and fibre production by 2030 shows the Labor Government has no vision for the future Victorian agriculture. Daniel Andrews has said he would be “happy” if Victoria happened to reach the goal, but would not commit to working towards it. The Coalition Government’s target to double Victorian food and fibre production by 2030 has been an ambitious but achievable goal providing farmers, the department and researchers with clear direction for our state. But Daniel Andrews and his Labor Government clearly do not have agriculture on their list of priorities. One of the first things Daniel Andrews did as Premier was bury agriculture in a ‘super department’ that services nine different ministers. He then abandoned the first vitally important

trade mission to the Middle East, with not a single Labor Minister attending. He also plans to slash the inbound trade mission program to four per year. Daniel Andrews has also failed to commit to standardising the Mildura rail line despite $220 million already being allocated to the project by the previous Coalition Government. If this lack of vision and commitment is what we can expect from Daniel Andrews and his Labor Government, I hold concerns for Victoria’s food and fibre industries. Now as much as ever The Nationals in Coalition will be standing up for our rural and regional communities and making sure their voices are heard by this Melbourne-focused Labor Government. Yours sincerely, Peter Walsh MLA Leader of The Nationals Shadow Minister for Agriculture

PARKING CONCERNS Dear Editor, The ability of some people in Shepparton begs belief. Outside one of our schools we have people consistently parking across driveways, parking in no-standing zones, double parking and parking in driveways. Parents abuse residents when asked to move, especially outside a local primary school off Hayes Street. Then we have people taking up two parking spaces at once, so many so far I would be rich if I took a dollar for each one. Then you have the nature strip parking going on all over Shepparton, and then you have the ones that park in disabled spaces without a disabled sticker. Come on Shepparton learn to park your cars

properly and follow the laws. They are there to make everyone safe, and especially outside our schools more than anything; the parents especially during drop off and pick up times. Yours sincerely, Anne Wood Shepparton

PRESCRIBED BURNING

Dear Editor, The Daniel Andrews Government has no plan and refuses to talk about prescribed burning in Victoria. The 2009 Royal Commission into Black Saturday recommended the State Government adopt a 5 per cent fuel reduction target. Considering the Andrews Government has not publically stated their prescribed burning targets, a question was directed to the Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water requesting the Government’s target. The response ‘normally those figures are articulated through budget papers.’ (Hansard, 10 February 2015) The response will raise anxiety in the communities affected by fires in the past as we see a Government not willing to commit to prescribed burning to protect Victoria. The Andrews Government must come out and explain why they have no target for Victoria, is it they don’t understand the impact, or don’t care? Yours sincerely, Brad Battin MP Shadow Minister for Environment Want to have your say? Email your letters to the Editor to editorial@sheppartonadviser.com.au. Max 100 words

Doctor house calls are back THE National Home Doctor Service will launch its Shepparton service on Monday, February 23, this valuable new service will provide residents of Shepparton, Mooroopna and Kialla with access to after-hours medical care in the comfort of their own home or aged care facility. National Home Doctor Service, CEO Ben Keneally says, “The people of Shepparton, Mooroopna and Kialla, may think that afterhours house calls are a thing of the past, but in reality they are common right across Australia.” With more than eight years’ experience in the industry, recruiting and organising training for Doctors within the Goulburn Valley, Peter Wyman, Manager of the Shepparton service, said, “After-hours home visits are a great option for anyone who needs to see a Doctor when their GP is closed or unavailable, if the patient’s condition is not serious enough to need to go to the Emergency Department, the service is particularly valuable for older people and parents with children who may find it difficult to go out at night. “One of the main objectives of the service is to provide the community with a flexible, convenient option to after-hours medical

assistance, whilst also assisting to relieve some of the pressure on our hospital Emergency Department and Ambulance services. who under less pressure, should be able to focus more on emergency cases and reduce patient waiting times.” The service will operate seven days a week, from 6pm Monday to Friday, with bookings able to be made from 4pm weekdays. Bookings can be taken from 10am on Saturdays and can be made all day on Sundays and Public Holidays and all visits are bulkbilled for anyone with a Medicare card. Bookings can be made by phoning13 SICK (13 7425). At the time of booking, patients should have their Medicare card details on hand. The doctors carry a range of starter packs of common medications, including antibiotics, although no drugs of dependence are carried. The National Home Doctor Services will provide the patient’s GP with a report from the visit the following day, to ensure continuity of care and follow through on treatment if necessary.

FOOD NEEDED FOR OUR ‘KIDS’… Wilmot Road Primary School Students, Lucy Jumapili (grade 1), Coby Jannenga (grade 4), Braydyn Lynd (grade 2) and Bella Gordon (grade 6) are all hoping that more funding or donations of food products to Shepparton Foodshare might help the organisation to provide products for breakfast programs both at their school as well as other schools around the region. Photo: David Lee.

Push to provide ‘kids’ with breakfast continued from front page AT Wilmot Road Primary School, more than 50 students a week attend their three day breakfast program, but the program is solely funded by the school, meaning less money for other important educational tools. Wilmot Road Primary School Early Years Family Engagement Worker, Claire Hanning said, “Some of our students don’t have breakfast and it’s the most important meal of the day. “To have something in their stomachs gives them energy, helps them concentrate and helps them to get the best out of their education every day.

“If the program was fully funded and the food we use for our breakfast program was fully allocated by Foodshare, then that would free up some of the money we use on that for other important things that the school needs.” Shepparton Foodshare Coordinator, Ron Nicholls said, “We have had plans ‘in the melting pot’ for the past three years to run a consistent breakfast program in all schools across the region and have always thought that that would be what helped Foodshare to survive into the future. Unfortunately, we don’t have the funding or consistent variety of products to run one on a regular basis. “Foodshare Victoria’s funding fell away

from their staple products, so currently we are reliant on supermarkets and other local industries to donate what they can. “If we had the funding and more product donations the breakfast program would be up and running. “Foodshare has been promised $13.5M from the Daniel Andrews Government to set up a breakfast program in 500 of Victoria’s more disadvantaged schools and we’re hoping that some of the schools chosen will be from the Goulburn Valley. The only problem with this is that it will take time for the government to implement this and in the meantime, we’d like to get something going locally.”

Shepparton Golf Club General Manager, Stephen Segrave said, “We had many genuinely interested patrons through on the day, and many youngsters signed up to the Junior Club. “We enjoyed support from some of our terrific suppliers on the day, Troy Jones, from Fowles Wine, was one. Troy was on hand to offer patrons tastings from the Fowles Wine range stocked in the bar. As a community club focused on supporting our local area, we source almost all of our wines from the region. “The day was very well received and the club look forward to hosting more events like this in the future.” Lunch is now available from Monday through Saturday, with bistro meals each Friday night, it’s well worth a visit to check

Remembering a pillar of the community GV HEALTH and the wider community recently lost one of their greats, after the passing of a pillar of the community, Frank Mathot. Working as one of GV Health’s greatest volunteer supporters for almost a decade, Frank passed away peacefully at Acacia House after a relatively short illness. Born in the Netherlands in 1931, Frank was the sixth and youngest child of an Amsterdam banker and his wife. At the age of 24 and seeking escape from the restrictions of post war Europe, Frank migrated to Australia in 1955 and lived in several regional towns in New South Wales and Victoria, before moving to the Goulburn Valley and starting up his time with GV Health. GV Health Foundation Director, Carmel Johnson said, “Frank was a man who could turn his hand to almost anything. He worked as a labourer on the Snowy Hydro scheme, a Sydney Harbour Bridge painter, chemical factory operator, shop proprietor, insurance salesman and political staffer. “He found professional success as an administrator at the Dookie Agricultural College- and happiness in Mooroopna with Toni (also our loyal GV Health volunteer) to whom he was married for 37 years. “After retiring last year, Frank was remembered for his decade long stint as a volunteer at GV Health, and assumed the unofficial role as chief of our hospital’s ‘Meet and Greet’ program. For more than ten years Frank took charge of the ‘desk’ and contributed

tirelessly to ensuring that all of the volunteer roles were actively and regularly undertaken. “His distinctive booming voice, his broad brimmed ‘sensible’ hat, his fervour for punctuality and his compassion for the patients have been irreplaceable qualities that we have appreciated and valued. “Thank you Frank. GV Health will miss you.”

Cut your energy costs DURING the Summer months it can be difficult to keep your energy use down, especially when it comes to trying to cool your home, but there are some simple and effective tips to follow that can not only cut your energy bill down, but make for a more efficient way of living. Comparing energy and gas plans could save you money if another provider proves to be more cost-effective and suitable. Over time, this could amount to significant savings. When making major purchases such as buying new washing machines, fridges, televisions or clothes dryers, pay attention to the affixed Energy Rating Label. The higher the rating, the more efficient the appliance is. But it’s not just the big items that make all the difference. Installing energy efficient lighting throughout your

home will also reduce your energy usage. In the kitchen, small things such as running the dishwasher only when it’s full and using an electric frypan, pressure cooker or microwave rather than an oven can make all the difference. Additionally, all door and appliance seals should be intact. When it comes to airing out your laundry, it’s best to use a clothes horse or hang them outside where possible. This is a much more natural alternative than using a clothes dryer. And finally, the Summer sun can be harsh on your home’s internal temperature, especially if your home isn’t insulated correctly. But you can beat the ‘Aussie’ heat by closing windows, doors and curtains and if possible, use fans rather than air conditioners to really save that energy.

Have a healthy lawn and save water

Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1238 Wednesday, February 18, 2015

IT can be difficult to keep a green, luscious lawn at the best of times, but when it comes to the Summer months the task seems to get that little bit harder. While a ‘healthy’ and ‘maintained’ lawn may seem out of reach there are some tips that can help get it there and keep it there. BEFORE SEWING To prepare the area, spray existing ve ge t at ion w it h g lysoph ate bas ed herbicide, leave for two weeks then till the area to loosen the top soil to a depth of 5cm. Spread seeds evenly, rake over it lightly and keep moist. WATERING Your lawn needs a water when the grass does not ‘spring’ back up after being walked on. After watering the soil should be moist to a depth of 10-15cm. Shallow watering only encourages the grasses to develop shallow root systems-making them more prone to dryness!

WETTING AGENT You should use a good ‘soil wetting agent’ if you water your lawn. Use on sand or clay soils. When you water it will soak into your lawn into the root zone, and not run-off, resulting in maximum water utilisation and efficiency. FERTILISER Fertilising should be done as regularly as required to encourage the growth required to repair damage to your lawn. MOWING HEIGHT Mowing heights should be adjusted to suit the growing conditions. When the turf is growing strongly it may be cut fairly low. If it is experiencing heat stress or the growth is beginning to slow then be careful with the mower, and raise the height or don’t cut at all.

PICTURES OF THE PAST

STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY… Local resident, Evelyn Davis sent in this photo of her Grandfather (bottom), Hamilton Coldwell along with two photos that he took during his time with the Shepparton Agricultural Society. The first photo (top left) is estimated to have been taken in the early 1900s, and shows the line of horse drawn carriages lining the main oval at the Shepparton Showgrounds. The second photo (top right) is estimated to have been taken in the 1920s and again shows a scene from the early days of the Shepparton Show. Notice the T Model Ford and other pre 1920s Veteran Cars lining the oval. Evelyn remembers the show being a very different place in those days, saying that there were a few sideshows and a merry-go-round and none of the larger rides that exist at today’s Shepparton Show. As well as his passion for agricultural societies, Hamilton also held many important roles in the community since moving to the area in 1870 including being a North Riding Councillor of the Shepparton Shire and President of the Shepparton Agricultural Society. But perhaps one of the most interesting moments in time that Hamilton was involved in was when he was invited to witness the opening of the first Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia in May of 1901.

Snapshots of Shepparton’s past SHEPPARTON has been a thriving community for more than 155 years, and throughout that time many people and events have helped to shape the township into the community that it is today. The Adviser, with the help of former local,

Marlene Kuhn and the wider community, has decided to share some of those moments in time with you through a series of photographs. If you have an old photograph of a local event or moment in time that you would love to see

Running shoes ready for fun By David Lee STUDENTS, teachers, parents and the wider community are getting their running shoes ready for this year’s Congupna Primary School Run 4 Fun event on Sunday, March 1. Held at SPC Ardmona KidsTown along the Shepparton-Mooroopna Causeway, the Run 4 Fun event will see an abundance of entertainment and food available a range of great activities providing plenty of fun for the whole family including use of the facilities at KidsTown’ and a meet and greet with Terry the Tap and Mr Incredible. Run 4 Fun Organising Committee Member, Jenny O’Neil said, “It was a great successful day last year. Lots of families attended, the weather was perfect and we raised $4,000 that went towards sporting equipment and readers for the library. “It’s a great healthy family fun event. “The kids love chasing Mr Incredible and enjoy Terry the Tap.

“We encourage the community to come along and have some fun.” Congupna Primary School Principal, Rosemary Hepworth said, “The thing that is wonderful about this event is getting to share the activity with the broader community. “The work by the committee is so important and they do such a fantastic job. “The Run 4 Fun helps to support the resources for student learning and growth and that type of support is invaluable.” The run will include a 10km run, 5km run, 3km walk and a 1km to 2km run, with costs ranging from $5 for the shorter runs to $20 for early registration of larger runs and walks or $25 on the day. To register visit www.congupnaps.vic. edu.au or drop into Sportsmans Warehouse on Corio Street, Shepparton. For further information phone Jenny on 5829 9168 or 0400 298 306.

FAMILY FUN EVENT… Congupna Primary School Students, Thomas Phillips, grade 5, Josh Rogers, grade 2, Regan Hunt, grade 3, Rhiannon Aldridge, grade 4 and Sophie Paterson, grade 3 are getting themselves ready for the school’s annual Run 4 Fun event at SPC Ardmona KidsTown next month.

Bow champ off to nationals

A REAL HUNTER… Local 10 year old, Keelee Smith has just walked away with back to back Australian Bowhunting Association Victoria State Titles and is now hunting for first place at the national titles running over Easter this year. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

By David Lee WE first met Keelee Smith last year after she took out first place in the Australian Bowhunting Association Victoria State Titles in Geelong, but the local 10 year old’s skills are right on target, recently taking out the A Grade 3D State Titles; her eyes now firmly set on the national titles over Easter this year. After only joining A Grade one week before the titles at West Gippsland, Keelee went up against four other shooters, aiming at targets 12 to 24 metres away and has walked away with back to back titles. Keelee said, “I think it was all the practice I’ve done with my dad that has helped me win both titles and I enjoy shooting at the 3D targets rather than the flat targets. “This will be my first time playing at the nationals. It’s going to be a lot tougher, but I’m looking forward to it. “I’d like to thank my sponsors Tusker Broadheads, Bushbow 3D and Heavenly Threads for all of the support. It would be a lot harder shooting at this level without them.” Keelee’s dad, Jarrod, who placed second in his division told The Adviser how proud of his daughter both he and his wife are. “This is just amazing. “To stay in A Grade, Keelee will have to shoot over 300 consistently, but even on a bad day she’ll shoot 316. “I think she’ll go well at the nationals. She’s just been a natural since picking it up three years ago.”
