High Productivity Vehicles in sight By David Lee IN the coming 24 months the region’s productivity levels could see a boost, with light at the end of the tunnel for approval of the use of High Productivity Vehicles (HPV). But, while the long awaited capability of introducing HPVs for use in the region is being welcomed by the Committee for Greater Shepparton and local fruit processing and transport companies, there is still work that needs to be done to allow the region to be globally competitive.

Winter proves a tough time for the homeless

WINTER CHILL FOR HOMELESS… As the winter cold sets in, spare a thought for those in the community who do not have a warm bed to sleep in or their own home to feel safe and comfortable in. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

By David Lee WHILE the winter months are a time when most people are desperately awaiting the return of the warmth, it is an important time to spare a thought for those in our community who are living it tougher than the rest and are in a position without a warm home and

bed to sleep in. While homelessness is a nation wide issue, there are many in the Goulburn Valley who face ¬the uncertainty of where they are going to be sleeping, whether it’s sleeping in a car, outside or even ‘couch Continued on page 17 surfing.’

Big bowel visit sets scene for support group A VISIT by Bowel Cancer Australia’s Big Bowel last week helped mark the start of Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, and is setting the scene to see a new Bowel Cancer Support Group started in Shepparton. During the visit, the local community had the opportunity to step inside Bowel Cancer Australia’s Big Bowel outside Bunnings Shepparton and experience an interactive journey through the 7m long and 2.6m high bowel to learn about bowel cancer and how it can be prevented. The new Bowel Cancer Support Group will meet for the very first time on Monday, June 15 from 6pm in the community room at GV Health Community on the corner of Corio and Edward Streets in Shepparton and will run on the third Monday of the month there on. Bowel Cancer Survivor, Cathy Rose said, “There are many people in the local area in treatment of Bowel Cancer from the ages of 30 and up. “While they say the risk is at 50 years old, there are more and more young people being diagnosed Australia wide. “I noticed that there wasn’t a bowel cancer support group so decided to speak with GV Health to get one up and running. “It is a subject that not a lot of people are comfortable with talking about, but it is something that needs to be.

Calleja to lead Goulburn-Murray Water AFTER having worked with GoulburnMurray Water (GMW) for the last four years as chief financial officer, the GMW Board announced that John Calleja would be leading the company into the future as the new Managing Director. Having been interim managing director for the last six months, John’s intimate knowledge of the business puts him in the best position to continue to lead GMW’s journey as a truly customer focused and highly commercial water corporation. G M W B oa rd C h a i r, S a ra h S c a le s said, “Over the past six months the board conducted an extensive national search for a new managing director, and considered a strong field of candidates.

“As part of the process the board considered the critical role GMW has in regional communities across northern Victoria, the strong foundations currently established within the business, and the need to continue to deliver on our strategic directions. “John’s experience, knowledge of the water sector and his strong leadership demonstrated that he is best placed to lead GMW into the future. “Critical to GWM’s future direction will be delivering the final stages of GMW’s $2B Connections Project which is modernising the irrigation infrastructure in the Goulburn Murray Irrigation District, and importantly overseeing the integration of this project into GMW’s operations.”

Adriana raises highest amount for MS event By David Lee FIFTY-SIX people joined former local, Adriana Condello (Grasso) for a 5km walk at this year’s MS Walk and Fun Run in Melbourne, which saw Adriana named as the highest individual fundraiser for the event Australia wide for the second time. This year, Adriana raised a staggering $120,150, which added to the $1.45M raised Australia wide; just shy of MS Australia’s target of $1.7M. Adriana said, “I still can’t believe it. I can’t thank ever yone enough for everything they do, day in and day out for me and for being willing to support me. “I’d like to thank everyone for all the kindness and support shown to my family and I. I really appreciate all the donations and support and couldn’t have done it without help. “I’d like to say a big thank you to my family for being by my side through this yet again.”

‘Kinder’ enrolments now open KINDERGARTEN enrolments are now being accepted for children to attend kindergarten in 2016 across Greater Shepparton City Council facilities. Enrolment forms and information are available from the council offices, kindergartens, child care centres and maternal and child health centres. Enrolments close on July 31, 2015, however late enrolments will be accepted and placed on a centralised waiting list and considered for any remaining places. Enrolment forms should be dropped off at the Greater Shepparton City Council Offices, 90 Welsford Street in Shepparton, and are only valid after being date stamped by the Central Enrolment Officer. If you choose to post your form, please contact the Central Enrolment Officer to confirm your form has been received. Council’s Director Community, Kaye Thomson said the kindergarten year is a very important step in the development and learning process. “Kindergarten brings new challenges, learning

opportunities, lots of fun and interaction with other children and adults. “I st rong ly encou rage parents to visit local kindergartens prior to enrolment to meet with staff and discuss their child’s individual needs. “While we try to accommodate parent’s requests for kindergarten at particular centres, this is not always possible, so if parents don’t receive a place at the centre of their first preference they can accept a place at an alternative centre or wait and see if spaces at their preferred centre become available. “Parents will receive notification of places in early September.” To be eligible to attend in 2016, children need to turn four by April 30, 2016. The Victorian Government partially funds one year of kindergarten for each eligible child. For more information, contact the Council’s Children’s and Youth Services Branch (03) 5832 9700.

VISUAL AND VOCAL RAIL OPPORTUNITY Dear Editor, What a great community All Aboard Shepparton campaign train trip to Parliament on Thursday, May 28! From early start to late finish there was a sense of great community teamwork. Earlier press articles about our tenacious PJ wearers drew the focus of the media to Southern Cross Station and to Parliament House steps. The proof of this PJ strategy is not to be doubted as the impact brought our issue into homes across Victoria. Our local media personnel accompanied us, coming into Parliament to record the stories of the action. About 100 campaigners gathered in a Parliamentary Committee Room to watch on TV our MP, Suzanna Sheed put the case very succinctly to the other MPs asking the question: “When are you going to give us a decent train service?” Earlier in the week I had been invited by Independent Member, Suzanna Sheed to be one of the delegates given the opportunity to speak to Public Transport Minister, Jacinta Allan. My task was to highlight the content of our many past submissions to ask government to correct the long-term disadvantages that continue to be experienced by public rail/ VLine users in northern Victoria. My final statement to Minister, Jacinta Allan was that we have submitted and lobbied for over four years for improved V/Line services and would urge this government to take action to improve the situation. We need a fair go in northern Victoria. I believe that Minister Allan gave us an excellent hearing, taking copious notes and thanking us for the presentations. Her advice that the development of a first ever regional development network plan to improve services to Shepparton and regional Victoria is to commence soon is reassuring. We have a local representative on that planning committee and I am sure that David McKenzie will welcome our public transport users input. Thanks to local Independent Member, Suzanna Sheed for initiating a visual and vocal opportunity to address Parliament about this long-standing community disadvantage. Yours sincerely, Patricia Moran, Shepparton

I’LL BE DARNED Dear Editor, It only took the American FBI 17 years to discover corruption in FIFA. Just in time to

halt the proceedings so that Russia won’t be able to host the world cup. Does it sound a tad political? At the slow pace of the FBI’s investigation they would have trouble tracking a bleeding elephant through the snow. This whole show wouldn’t have something to do with Russia releasing documents on the internet exposing American secrets for the last 70 years? Is there anyone else who would like to join me in my scepticism? Yours sincerely, Jay Nauss, Glen Aplin

CFA VOLUNTEERS DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS Dear Editor, I am an ex-volunteer who has resigned from my brigade because of the behaviour of one of the brigade leaders. I have been trying to get CFA management to do something to help volunteers in this situation but I have not been successful. Brigade leaders who do not follow the code of conduct cause great distress for others. CFA management provides no support to volunteers who have to deal with them. The CFA has no policy on dealing with these problems. They don’t seem to care. In 2008 the 7:30 Report ran a story in which the CFA acknowledged there was a problem with a ‘boys club mentality.’ My experience with CFA management has shown me that nothing has improved. They seem to have a culture from a bygone era. The Minister for Emergency Services says that she is not responsible and it would not be appropriate for her to intervene. So how will the CFA management be dragged into the 21st century? As an employee you would have rights, as a volunteer you have none. It is time for an enquiry into how the CFA manages these problems. Volunteers deserve better than this. If any readers would like to support a petition to the minister about this problem, they can find it at www.communityrun.org/p/ CFAcodeofconduct Yours sincerely, Rod Andrew, Malmsbury Want to have your say?

The upside to downsizing at Lifestyle Shepparton

HOMEOWNERS at Lifestyle Communities Shepparton downsize for many reasons; some want to clear their lives of time-consuming home and garden maintenance, others love the social environment and resort facilities on offer, and many homeowners just like the idea of living in a secure gated community. Lifestyle Shepparton Sales Manager, Mitch Kennedy says, “Many single ladies who have moved into the community say they’re sleeping easier at night than they have done in years. “The secure nature of our community, with its gated entry, on-site community managers and neighbours who look out for each other, create real peace of mind for homeowners and that underpins many of the decisions for making the move. “In addition to personal security, I also find that the fact that Lifestyle Communities is a secure public company, with a great reputation, is a very significant part of the decision making process,” says Mitch.   Lifestyle Shepparton are hosting an Open Day on Saturday, June 27 from 10am to 3pm, where you can come along and inspect the display homes, the multi-million dollar clubhouse and resort amenities and talk to homeowners who’ve already made the move. Information sessions will be held at 11am and 1pm and there will be free barista coffee, wine and cheese tastings as well as a great lunch on offer. Lifestyle Communities’ Shepparton Village is located at 65 Channel Road, for more information call 5831 1133.

Depreciation for Murray farmers brought forward

Page 16 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1254 Wednesday, June 10, 2015

MURRAY farmers can now claim a tax deduction on all capital expenditure on water facilities, fodder storage assets and new fencing from the date of the 2015-16 Budget. Federal Member for Murray, Dr Sharman Stone said, “Farmers can fully deduct the cost of water facilities and fencing in the year they are purchased and deduct the cost of fodder storage assets over three years. Farmers all around the electorate will be able to benefit from these changes, no matter the size of the business. “Small businesses also received a boost on budget night given they can now immediately claim accelerated depreciation on any new business assets costing up to $20,000. Farms with turnover of less than $2M qualify as a small business and are therefore also eligible to immediately write-off any asset purchases costing less than $20,000. “The decision to bring forward the start date of accelerated depreciation for all farmers, regardless of the size of their farm, allows them to invest immediately and ideally purchases are from local businesses. “Bringing forward these changes to begin from July 1, 2016 to May 12, 2015 is worth about $72M over the forward estimates. More measures of special support for farmers will be announced in the Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper. “Over 4,800 farmers or their partners are currently receiving Farm Household Allowance across Australia and I encourage anyone who is in need of support to contact the Department of Human Services to check their eligibility. Farm concessional loans for farm businesses are also available,” Dr Stone said.

Winter proves a tough time for the homeless continued from front page ACCORDING to research undertaken by St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria it is estimated that 22,773 people experience homelessness in Victoria each night. Of this population, approximately 26 percent are under 18. And while men make up the largest percentage of the homeless (57 percent), the majority of people who access homeless support services are women. One of the local organisations who attempt to ease the numbers of homelessness in the region is Rural Housing Network (RHN). According to figures collected by RHN, 56 percent of all people they have seen were aged between 26 and 45, 27 percent were under 25 and includes children, 56 percent of people were women, 53 percent were in a current housing crisis and 21 percent were experiencing financial pressures causing them to be at risk of losing their home. 14 percent were sleeping rough or in non-conventional housing (tents etc), 53 percent were in short term or emergency accommodation, 35 percent were housed but facing imminent homelessness, 36 percent of people had children with them, 55 percent were either single people or couples and 51 percent of people seen by RHN had no formal arrangement in place where they were staying. RHN CEO, Celia Adams said, “Winter is a particularly difficult time for people facing or experiencing homelessness. For those who are sleeping in cars or in a shed or caravan, the cold can make almost unliveable situations worse. “People in our community who are paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing are living in housing stress. Families on low incomes are struggling to survive, and paying for heating competes with keeping a roof over their head and food in their cupboard. “There are many older people in our communities on the pension who can’t afford rising rental prices, food and heating, so something has to give. For anyone on a fixed or low income, rental increases and rising costs of heating forces them to choose between eating, being safe and being warm.

“Each year we see over 1,000 people in the Shepparton area who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. “RHN is the main homelessness provider in Shepparton, and we provide a range of services for people who are homeless today, or who are at risk of losing their tenancy.” One 22 year old local, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared their story of homelessness with The Adviser. “The way I came about being homeless was due to domestic violence and drugs. “After an argument with my ‘mother’ she kicked me out. I was 15 and in year 10 in WCB (Weeroona College Bendigo). “I had the clothes on my back and my backpack with my school supplies. None of my ‘family’ would take me in for a couple of nights, so I wandered to a friend’s place on the other side of town to see if I could stay. Gratefully, I was alowed to stay a couple of nights. From that night onwards I was spending months at various friend’s houses. Occasionally being able to go back home when my mother was in a good mood. So I learned to have spare clothes on me at all times. “As I got older (18) I was able to apply for rentals, but was never accepted for one, so I started rooming temporarily. I got one room for two months and then had to leave again. I went back to my mother’s and within three months of being there I had been kicked out again. “I moved in with which ever boyfriend I had at the time as it was the easiest option to ensure I had a roof. I worked in whatever jobs I could obtain and was forever looking for a home. “On December 18, 2014 I lost my chef apprenticeship in Kyneton and my partner broke up with me. “I then came to Shepparton to visit two people who had welcomed me into their family three to four years ago and whom I viewed as my real parents. “For the first two months I lived in a caravan, spending as much time with my mum as I could, as I found out she was passing away from cancer. I also spent a lot of time job searching and house hunting. “In March last year I was living on a lounge room floor in a one bedroom unit with four other people there. I fell pregnant with my fiancé in June and we moved into a small room, to keep a roof over us until we got accepted for a house. “By the time I was 28 weeks pregnant we still hadn’t been accepted for anything. So I spoke to my dad, and we discussed our possible outcomes and options. “Dad cleaned out two rooms in his house and we moved in. “Winter is a tough time when you are homeless. There is having to deal with the cold and trying to find somewhere you can stay warm; doorways, covered areas, anything. “There is nothing worse then being that cold that you can’t feel your toes and when you stand on something and injure yourself because of it. “Winter is a nightmare especially when you don’t have enough layers to stay warm.” If you find yourself in danger of becoming homeless or are seeking assistance, call 1800 825 955.

Fairleys wins Retailer Of The Year ON Friday May 1, IGA retailers from around the state converged at Melbourne’s iconic Myer Mural Hall for the annual IGA Victoria Retailer of the Year Awards. This highlight event on the Victorian IGA calendar recognises outstanding achievements in all supermarket departments. The night certainly started with a bang for the team at Fairleys Shepparton, who picked up the very first award of the evening - Bakery Department Of The Year. With the majority of their offerings baked on the premise, it’s not surprising that the team took out this award. From fruit cakes and sausages rolls to hot cross buns at Easter, Department Manager, Peter Eaton ensures the bakery’s offering is always fresh and enticing to the store’s loyal shoppers. As the night went on, and after awarding all the departmental awards, the evening concluded with the announcement of the Retailer Of The Year Award – An award where standards increase every year, making the judging process increasingly difficult. The Retailer Of The Year Award takes into account all aspects of the store, from the first impression, to the way you are farewelled by the checkout staff, the award-winning store should represent all the great things about independent retail. So you can imagine how thrilled the Fairleys SUPA IGA team were when they were called upon to accept the biggest award of the evening. The Fairleys team prides themselves on consistently maintaining their high standards. Store Manager, Craig Bramley and his team ensure that their store is always kept clean, tidy and well stocked and the staff go out of their way to help shoppers and ensure that their experience is the best that it can be.

High Productivity Vehicles in sight continued from front page THE possibility of HPVs being introduced to the region comes after the Labor Government announced a $35.8M upgrade to 48 regional Victorian bridges in February, which would increase weight restrictions, allowing for the weight of a HPV that would carry two 40ft shipping containers on one truck. With the current ratio of container movements on one truck to the Port of Melbourne, as well as the operating hours of the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), transport is becoming a costly and unviable solution for many of the region’s food processing and transport companies with the solution lying in a Bonded Warehouse to be introduced to the region. Committee for Greater Shepparton CEO, Matt Nelson said, “When talking about the issues with the Port of Melbourne and AQIS, the solution is to have an AQIS approved container park here in the region. What we are doing to get that is putting together a proposal with all the statistics and information we need to prove our case for the need of the container park. It’s about doing it right. We’re getting close to the point of being able to submit it to parliament. “Instead of the containers being stuck in Melbourne, they could be stored here for AQIS to process here, which will have a major cost benefit to local businesses who utilise the import and export trade. “This is one of the things that can help our region be more globally competitive. “We are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel with HPVs. “There are five bridges between Shepparton and Melbourne that we’re strong enough to take the load requirements of HPVs but with the funding from the government, the bridges are currently being assessed and we hope that the valleys will benefit from it.”

ON THE RIGHT TRACK… From left, Committee for Greater Shepparton CEO, Matt Nelson and Kreskas Bros Transport Governance, Risk and Compliance Manager, Peter Hill who are pleased that bridge upgrades will pave the way for the use of High Productivity Vehicles to be used on our regional roads, but feel there is more to be done for the region to be globally competitive. Photo: David Lee.

Kreskas Bros Transport Governance, Risk and Compliance Manager, Peter Hill said, “The current situation sees any import containers coming out of the Port of Melbourne needing to be unpacked and sent to rural Victoria having to go through a process called rural tailgating. Rural tailgating means that a truck takes the container to one of the AQIS facilities around the port precinct and the outside and inside of the container is assessed for any contaminants before it can continue to Shepparton. “The problems around that are AQIS only works 7:30am to 3pm Monday to Friday, but the Port of Melbourne works

24/7. This forces our trucks to be operating at times where we and the government don’t want us there. This puts local businesses at a competitive disadvantage against anyone who is manufacturing within metropolitan Melbourne because those processes do not apply to them. “The costs associated with missing the deadline in picking up the containers are hundreds of dollars per day per container and if the deadline is missed on a Friday, containers can sit there over the weekend, which means that our clients across the region have to bear that cost also.”

LeT IT snOw… As the snow begins to fall on the mountains there are many locals heading to have fun in the Winter wonderland. In the 1950s locals thought there was nothing better than to gather a group of friends and head to the snow. The photo on the left shows Vic Earl all rugged up at Mt Buffalo in 1956. Vic was the driver of a 1948 Vauxall that took the Mooroopna teenagers who went to the snow that year. The photo on the right shows Noreen Brierley, Albert Earl, Joan Findlay and Ron Brereton, who took that trip at the end of August in 1956, to catch the last of the snow. The group is seen eating sandwiches that were packed from home, as there was no takeaway shops on the mountain. Noreen Brierley recalls the day saying, “We all had a great time and came home cold and wet. I can remember it being a nice and sunny day as the snow was melting and we even walked on the frozen lake while there and did not see the danger until we were older.”

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.

Indonesian students kick goals THE Padamara Group Ltd have been bringing groups of 20 to 25 students from Indonesia to Shepparton for the last 10 years to complete a semester of their horticulture course at GOTAFE and get hands-on experience in the local orchards, but for the first time this year some of the group were involved in a soccer match. Dr Chik Chua from Lister House Clinic and his wife help to take care of the students medically and socially while they are in the region. “It’s very rewarding to be able to help them while they are here. I first had contact with the students last year, and again this year I decided to get involved again. My wife and I take care of them while they are here because we both remember what it was like when we first came here and it makes it easier for the students to have someone that they feel comfortable with. “This year we took nine of the students to play at the social soccer game that meets every Thursday at the Major League Indoor Stadium. Some of them are quite good soccer players and they enjoyed themselves.”

Multicultural big day out for footy fans A GROUP of 40 locals will be heading to the MCG this weekend to watch Collinwood clash with GSW Giants as part of a multicultural big day out, thanks to a collaboration between AFL Goulburn Murray and Shepparton Police. With the focus on multiculturalism and community engagement the locals will be hosted by AFL Goulburn Murray staff, Multicultural Community Ambassadors and Shepparton Police on the bus trip, which will leave Sheparton in the morning on Sunday and return in the evening after the game. Shepparton Police Multicultural Liaison, Matthew Walker

is looking forward to seeing his beloved Magpies live in action. “For many of the people attending the game, it will be the first time they have been to a live AFL game. “It’s all about community integration and promoting AFL in the local multicultural communities and Shepparton Police are pleased to be able to support such a great initiative.” A FL Goulburn Murray Multicultural Community Ambassador, Sam Atukorala is looking forward to seeing the MCG first-hand along with community members. “AFL is such an important component of the Australian

Register now for Sporting Schools ALL local primary schools, clubs and coaches in the Murray electorate are being encouraged to sign up to Sporting Schools, a new Federal Government initiative to get more children active and healthy. The $100 million Sporting Schools program will become Australia’s largest school-based participation program reaching over 850,000 children in primary schools nation-wide. Federal Member for Murray, Dr Sharman Stone said, “The Federal Government is tackling the activity levels and the health of children across the country with its before, during and after school hours Sporting Schools program to be rolled out in July. This new program could help curb unhealthy eating and ‘go slow’ habits from a young age. “Registering as a school or coach is easy via the Sporting School’s website and once completed, schools and coaches can access online resources and materials to deliver tailored sport programs. “Many communities in the Murray electorate are very sports driven, we have many fantastic clubs. It is important we can get primary school children outdoors, playing sport and having fun developing social skills and improving their health. “Registrations should be done now if schools or coaches want to kick start their sporting program for term three this year.” Later this month, registered schools will be able to apply for grants on the Sporting Schools website. More information on Sporting Schools can be found at www.sportingschools.gov.au. Applications close on June 26.

culture and this event will help to promote the game to members of our local multicultural communities. “We will have representatives from the Afghani, Indian, Sudanese, Sri Lankan, African and other communities along for the day. “AFL builds bridges to the broader community and creates opportunities for young people to participate in local sport to assist in their physical, social and emotional development. “The MCG is an amazing stadium and the experience of a big AFL game will be an absolute treat for all of us,” Sam said.

METRO TAKEN DOWN… Victoria Country took on Victoria Metro at the weekend, beating them by more than 40 points during the Lawrie Evans Memorial Match Masters Game at Deakin Reserve. Photo: Supplied.

THERE was plenty of banter on the footy field at the weekend when Victoria Country took on Victoria Metro for the Lawrie Evans Memorial Match Masters Game at Deakin Reserve, but Country’ was too good for Metro,’ taking them out by over 40 points. Now in its 15th year, the annual clash sees the best of the country Victoria’s Masters players against the best of Metro Melbourne. The game, which was played with modified rules, seeing only three players at a contest and no knees in backs when marking, had 60 players represented, three of which were in their 60s. A F L G ou lbu r n Mu r r ay Fo otb a l l Development Manager, Mark Lambourne said, “The game saw some great camaraderie and lots of banter by all. “These games are great for men’s health both mentally and physically. “Out of this, we will be trying to establish a

team here out of Shepparton.” Victoria Country President, Wayne Hall sees the feature match as an opportunity to profile and grow Masters football in the Goulburn Murray. “This annual event is an important one on our calendar as it profiles the best in Victoria against each other. “Representing your state is a big honour and the players certainly respect their opportunity and will be keen to continue the strong Country’ versus Metro’ rivalry. “Echuca are our only team in the Goulburn Murray at the moment and we would also love to see a Masters team set up in Shepparton in the future. “Therefore we encourage any interested players and supporters to come along and have a look and catch up with us there to have a chat about the game and how it is played.”
