NEWS | WEATHER REDUCED INFLOWS… Water storage levels at Lake Eildon are expected to reduce during the summer ahead due to an anticipated El Ninõ weather pattern which will impact the East coast.

Drier conditions expected for water storages W I T H a dry summer period already being predicted, attention is turning to our reservoirs and water storage levels to ensure summer releases can be maintained.

Lake Eildon is responsible for capturing, storing and releasing water on behalf of entitlement holders to supply towns and businesses, grow food, and protect and improve waterway health throughout the Goulburn Valley and surrounds.

Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) Manager River Operations, Andrew Shields said, “This year’s inflows into Lake Eildon have been the lowest since 2006, with just 370GL of water flowing into Eildon from January until the end of September, compared to about 790GL for the same time period last year and 974 GL in 2013.

“The lake is currently at 54.8 percent capacity, compared to 84.8 percent at the same time last year.

“An El Ninõ weather pattern, coupled with a recent special update from the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) indicating a reduced chance of receiving the average rainfall for October to December 2015, means that we can expect drier conditions.

“This also means that customer demand for water is likely to remain high.”

Mr Shields said if things continue at this rate, the worst case scenario will see Lake Eildon drop to 45 percent capacity by Christmas and potentially, 30 percent capacity by the end of the irrigation period in mid May 2016.

“$1.35 billion in annual agricultural output is generated from the GoulburnBroken catchment, which is serviced by water from Lake Eildon – that’s about 20 percent of the total value of Victoria’s agricultural production,” Mr Shields said.

“While the main purpose of the reservoir is to capture, store and release water for customers, GMW recognises that our storages can also present unique recreation opportunities for visitors with National parks boating infrastructure and camping facilities.

“This can also make them vitally important to the economies and social fabric of the towns surrounding them.

“We welcome this recreational use of our lakes, dams and reservoirs and actively work with local governments, clubs and organisations to develop plans to support recreational and tourism development activities that won’t adversely impact on lake operations, water quality, environmental and cultural values, or public safety and access.

“Low water levels might impact on the aesthetics of the Lake, but there’s still more than enough water to boat, fish, camp and swim. Even at 50 percent capacity, Lake Eildon has the equivalent of three Sydney Harbours to play on. That said, reduced water levels can prompt increased safety measures.

“Boat users should observe zone and speed restrictions and watch out for hazards such as submerged trees and rocks, shallow waters, sand and mud flats.”

New Red Cross Blood Donor Centre officially opens AUSTRALIAN Red Cross Blood Service executives, local government representatives and interested parties gathered during the week to celebrate the official opening of the new $1.45M Red Cross Blood Donor Centre at Vaughan Central, Shepparton.

Australian Red Cross Blood Service Executive Director for Donor Services, Janine Wilson said, “We have a standard of what we want our donor centres to look like so that they’re comfortable for our donors, the facilities are modern and so that we have room for growth in the future. The old Shepparton centre simply wasn’t large enough for the population which we know can continue to support blood donation. So as part of our national program for refreshing donor centres, we either decide whether we need to refurbish an existing centre or relocate and in the case of Shepparton, it was very clear that we’d outgrown it and so we decided to invest in a new relocation.

OFFICIATING THE OPENING… Australian Red Cross Blood Service Executive Director for Donor Services, Janine Wilson. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

“On any given day, depending on the opening hours, the new donor centre can have anywhere between five to 10 extra donors on a daily basis. They may not use

the capacity immediately, but we’re hoping to continue to grow the Shepparton panel and it’s contribution and there is plenty of room to move.

“Shepparton is one of our important regional centres. There’s plenty of potential, the population is very loyal and there’s a great history of blood donation including the beginnings of direct blood transfusion here, so there’s a legacy to uphold. It’s a nice big regional centre and it’s a critical part of our national infrastructure.”

The new state-of-the-art premises is not only modern, comfortable and functional, but it’s also visually impressive with a great deal of the region’s history in blood donation service in plain sight to enjoy.

For further information about donating, to check out the new premises or to make an appointment visit the Red Cross Blood Donor Centre at Vaughan Central beside Kmart Tyre and Auto or phone 13 14 95.

Celebrating diversity ‘OUTintheOPEN’ HUNDREDS of people are expected to converge on Shepparton early next month for OUTintheOPEN - an annual festival celebrating community diversity.

The festival, which runs from November 6 to November 8, will feature a carnival at the Queen’s Gardens, a health and wellbeing forum at the Goulburn Valley Hotel and a range of events across the City of Greater Shepparton.

OUTintheOPEN is a project led by Kildonan UnitingCare and proudly supported by organisations and community groups across the region, including Greater Shepparton City Council, Relationships Australia Victoria, The Bridge Youth Service, Headspace Shepparton/ GV Health, Victoria Police and GV Pride.

Convenor, Damien Stevens said the Festival aims to strengthen community ties.

“OUTintheOPEN was developed to address some of the inequalities faced by the local gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer (GLBTIQ) and allied communities and to build a more inclusive community in Greater Shepparton, but we are urging everyone to join the festivities.

“Events include a comedy show, morning meditation and community brunch, so we hope there is something for everyone,” Mr Stevens said.

A highlight of the weekend will be the free family Carnival Day on Saturday, November 7 featuring music, entertainment, market and food stalls, an art show and children’s activities.

Mr Stevens said the festival is getting bigger each year.

“We are finding that people are returning each year, and more people from outside the Shepparton region are attending, which must provide a

Stay vigilant

REPORTING SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY… Pictured, Maree Teague at her Arcadia property which was recently raided during the night, with $80,000 worth of equipment and machinery stolen. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

Neighbours are being urged to look out for one another SHEPPARTON local, Maree Teague was devastated recently to discover her family’s Arcadia property where they intend to build had been raided during the night, with approximately $80,000 worth of goods stolen including a speed boat and equipment, motor bike, two water pumps, extensive snow and ski gear, generator and tools.

Maree said, “They were very selective about what they took. They took all of the best equipment and left the older things.”

Maree says that since the investigation began on their robbery, they’ve discovered that their incident is just one of many that has occurred in the area in the last six months, with all items stolen being large, bulky items which would seemingly require a considerable operation with more than one perpetrator or/and multiple trips to remove the goods.

“They’ve gained access to a securely locked shed. It’s an isolated area a long way out of town, and it just seems so strange that the thieves would have even known to look here, let alone have been prepared enough to remove such a large quantity of bulky goods.

“They’ve cut a few fences to gain access to our property. We’ve got cattle on our property and they had no regard for the cattle getting out on to the road.

“They’ve towed a boat out, then they’ve towed a trailer with a pump on it. They would have to have taken at least two trips unless there were multiple people in vehicles capable of towing, there’s no other way they could have removed it all.

“It’s a horrible feeling. You feel so violated. We just didn’t think something like this was possible in this area. Now we’re worried that they’ll come back.”

Maree said that a lot of the items taken did have registered serial numbers, but that the police hold little hope of the goods being recovered.

Shepparton Police Detective Acting Sergeant, Gary Dean said, “People need to be vigilant, particularly in rural areas which are isolated. Take notice of who’s about during the day.

“If you see something, contact crime s topp er s , a ny i n for m at ion i s go o d information. If you think it’s suspicious, then there’s every chance that we’ll think it’s suspicious.

“Also, if anyone is offered cheap products; trailers, generators, motorbikes etc. If you think that it doesn’t sound right, then contact us.”

If you have any information or see any suspicious activity, contact crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.

DEDICATED LOCAL BROADCASTING… The ABC Shepparton team from left, Will Kendrew, Gaye Pattison, Jan Deane, Warwick Long, Cath Hurley (Head of Regional Content), Matt Dowling, Bronwen O’Shea, Joseph Thompsen and Jill Craig. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

Celebrating a decade of success ABC Shepparton celebrated their milestone 10th anniversary of broadcasting from the Wyndham Street studio during the week, along with their first stand alone Breakfast Program hosted by Matt Dowling.

ABC Goulburn Murray has been a dedicated broadcast service in the Goulburn Valley dating right back to its original set up as 2CO in 1931, but it wasn’t until 1992 that a permanent outpost was opened at 265A Maude Street (opposite the Fire Station).

In 2005 a new dedicated custom designed Studio was established at 50A Wyndham Street, with the first broadcast in October of that year cementing ABC Shepparton’s important role here in the Goulburn Valley.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Head of Regional Content, Cath Hurley said, “This is a fantastic location

and there are wonderful stories to be told here. It’s a great team of broadcasters and we’re looking forward to telling more stories from Shepparton both locally and hopefully nationally as well.

“With the changing media scene we’re looking at digital technologies and other ways of getting the story out there in the community and celebrating the stories of Shepparton on a local and national level.

“Gaye and the team have done a fantastic job and Matt of course, he has been the person that you wake up with on the Breakfast Program for the last 10 years, which is very exciting. It’s a great milestone.

“It’s really important to acknowledge the whole team. It’s important to celebrate those in regional areas who contribute to their community and want to be a part of it.”

INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE… 47 Masters of Wine recently visited the region during their Australian tour, stopping off at Tahbilk Winery as a part of their tour which encompassed three states and 11 wine regions. Photo: Supplied.

MADE up of a cross-section of the world’s premier wine fraternity, the 47 Masters of Wine recently visited the region during their Australian tour, which included three states and 11 wine regions, immersing themselves in some of the best wines that Australia has to offer.

The tour included visits to Sydney, Hunter Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, Goulburn Valley, King Valley, Rutherglen, McLaren Vale, Adelaide, Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley and the Clare Valley with delegates experiencing a comprehensive look at most of Australia’s leading wine producing regions.

The delegates hail from a wide array of locations including UK, USA, New Zealand, Switzerland, France, Germany, Ireland, Canada, Singapore, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Holland and, of course, Australia.

Lead sponsor of the tour, Australia’s First Families of Wine (AFFW), with their

long term commitment to wine education, their interest in the health of the industry globally, and a mandate that focusses on supporting premium Australian wine brands to tell the stories, history and provenance behind each of their family owned brands, saw the opportunity to align with the IMW and grasped it.

AFFW Chairman, Robert Hill Smith of Yalumba (1849), Australia’s oldest family owned winery said, “We were approached by the IMW when they started planning their trip to Australia some time back. Of course, we were keen to be involved and came on board as the Lead Sponsor of the visit to help make it happen.

“As a group, we see this as a unique opportunity to showcase our families’ wares in situ, there is nothing more powerful.

And we aim to create a whole new set of international influences on the global stage.”

CEWH ANNOUNCES GOULBURN WATER TRADE Dear Editor, The long awaited announcement by the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) of an additional 20Gl of temporary water available for sale is great news.

The minimum bid size is 30mg. This means that small and large irrigators can tender. Remember you do not have to use a water broker, you can go direct and use the online tender form and so save the water traders commission.

The tender will be open until 3pm on Wednesday, October 28 (AEDT).

There is a dummy tender practice form online now.

This tender is open to allocation entitlement holders across the southern connected basin where allocation sold from the Goulburn catchment can currently be traded.

Further information is available from the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office website. The site now features a dedicated page of information about this trade including the form, guidelines and the Terms of Offer. You’ll find this at www. environment.gov.au/water/cewo/trade/current-trading-actions. Or you can call them on 1800 803 772.

Yours sincerely, Dr Sharman Stone, Federal Member for Murray

WATER SUMMIT OR BACK TO THE FUTURE Dear Editor, I see that our independent State Member for Shepparton, Suzanna Sheed, has organised a summit to discuss the potential impacts of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan on Northern Victoria.

This by-invitation meeting with Victorian Water Minister, Lisa Neville, supposedly aims to discourage political grandstanding while allowing speakers with deep understanding of water issues to inform and plan for future united action.

I am concerned that this sounds like the ghost of John Brumby and how the North-South Pipeline and the Northern Victoria Irrigation Renewal Project was sold to us years ago. Engage the converted followers and business people that don’t have complete knowledge of the topic, then convince them that what they are suggesting is better than sliced bread.

Real farmers, agribusinesses and rural communities should now know that the spin and hype of the pipeline, NVIRP, modernisation and the Murray Darling Basin Plan only succeeded in wasting millions of taxpayer dollars and has taken our fantastic foodbowl to the brink of being a dustbowl and begging bowl.

Our member for Shepparton may have succeeded in ousting the long-serving underachieving Nationals at the last election but if she doesn’t start truly engaging with the average farmer, or the real people in her electorate, her stint in parliament is guaranteed to be short-lived.

Our region is in crisis and under further threat from poor water management and poor policies. It is not a time for any politician to ignore the severity of the problem or ignore those that are desperately asking for help.

Yours sincerely, Robert Danieli, Chairman Australian Country Party Want to have your say?

Framework for success AT the recent Shepparton Villages Annual General Meeting (AGM), 130 community members turned out to help celebrate the achievements of the year as well as honouring a very special and pivotal member of the Shepparton Villages community, Bruce Mactier.

Bruce’s journey with Shepparton Villages began in 1992 when he was asked if he’d like to become a board committee member. Bruce was only in his early 30s at the time and felt quite honored to be asked.

Despite a busy professional life and a young family, Bruce dedicated himself to the role, spending nine years on the board including holding the position of elected President.

During Bruce’s tenure, he along with his fellow committee members were actively involved in transforming Shepparton Villages from a small operation into the large scale professional business it is today.

Bruce assisted in system set up, processes and strategy implementation as well as the appointment of key role personell such as Kevin Bertram to CEO and Murray Burls as Accountant and eventually Executive Manager of

Finance, Admissions and Administration celebrating 20 years of service at the AGM also.

Bruce played a key role in the design of Kialla Gardens and was also heavily involved in the building of the Brighter Tomorrows House.

Shepparton Villages Board President, Stephen Merrylees said, “Bruce was a visionary who was passionate about our mission and in the words of Murray Burls, he was a ‘true professional, a strategic thinker and a very supportive board member’.”

Shepparton Villages CEO, Kerri Rivett said, “Bruce was selected for this honour because of his commitment to Shepparton Villages and the number of years he dedicated to the board and also the important role he played on the board.

“During his time on the board, Bruce took the organisation from a cottage industry into a fully fledged business. He was pivotal in appointing key figure heads. At that time Shepparton Villages was a small organisation run by a committee, he was instrumental in the villages future direction.”

Inspiring leadership DEVELOPING SELF-EFFICACY… Pictured, La Trobe Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor Amalia Di Lorio will lead a panel discussion at tonight’s Women in Leadership forum at La Trobe University Shepparton. Photo: Supplied.

DRIVING force behind the Women in Leadership forum to be held in Shepparton tomorrow night, La Trobe Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor Amalia Di Lorio is passionate about women’s roles in higher education and in the leadership positions and says the number one inhibiting factor in women taking up these challenges is a lack of belief in their own capability to succeed.

Amalia said, “Self-efficacy is the belief in your own capability to succeed and to achieve a goal that you set for yourself. We need to stop talking about confidence and talk about something deeper, the core reason why women hold themselves back in the workplace.

“There are four factors; success - being put into situations where you achieve success; strong role models - who can develop your self-efficacy; constructive feedback – including mentoring and encouragement, and the last factor is around how we respond to

psychological states - do you allow anxiety to debilitate you or do you use it to enhance your performance? All four factors have been identified in developing self-efficacy.

“What we’ve now got, is a frame work which is proven to work. As individuals, recognising and being aware of these factors is important not only for ourselves alone, but also as an entire organisation.

“The panel discussion at the forum will be around confidence versus self-efficacy and the power of self believe. Our panelists will tell their story and the idea of self-efficacy in their own world.

“I’m very excited about the opportunity.

Believing that you are able to succeed in the objective that you set yourself is very important.”

The Women in Leadership forum will be held on Thursday, October 29 at 7pm. Tickets are $20 with all proceeds from ticket sales going to the Regional Women in Leadership Bursary. All are welcome to join panelists for drinks and further discussion after the forum.

Landowners need to act now on early fire danger warning THE early introduction of the Country Fire Authority (CFA) declared Fire Danger Period means landowners need to act quickly to deal with fuel loads and long grass on their properties.

The Fire Danger period starts on Monday, October 26 and Greater Shepparton landowners should take immediate steps to reduce the risk of fire on their property and ensure it is well maintained throughout the season.

Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Citizens Services, Laurienne Winbanks says it is important landowners deal with any fire risks as soon as possible.

“Potential fire hazards are a danger not only to the landowner’s property but also to their neighbours and their property, to livestock, crops and pets. We are entering a long, dry summer and the time to act is now.”

“Vacant residential land should have fuel loads reduced by slashing and mowing grass, cleaning up leaves and twigs and removing any rubbish. Rural land should have sufficient fire breaks and all fire fighting equipment should be serviced and ready to go.

“Property owners needing to conduct controlled burns should contact Council as soon as possible. Each fire permit application will be assessed by the Municipal Fire Prevention Officer and in some cases may be referred to the CFA for approval.

“Council’s Fire Prevention staff will soon commence inspections and properties identified as a potential fire hazard may be issued with a Fire Prevention Notice. If the Fire Prevention Notice is not complied with, costs associated with Council undertaking works will be incurred including administration fees along with the possibility of an infringement notice being issued.”

In 2012 the State Government introduced stricter penalties for people failing to comply with a Fire Prevention Notice. Any person who has failed to comply with a Fire Prevention Notice can be issued with an infringement with a penalty of $1,516.

Matters referred to court for failing to comply with a Fire Prevention Notice can now result in fines of up to $18,200 and/or 12 months imprisonment.

THE Bombers and Cats are set to go head to head in Shepparton next year, when the two AFL teams take part in an AFL NAB Challenge match in March.

The match, which will be televised nationally on Saturday, March 5, is expected to draw a crowd of between 7,000 and 10,000 people generating a significant economic impact of between $500,000 and $1M for the local economy.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dennis Patterson said this announcement further strengthens Greater Shepparton’s reputation as regional Victoria’s sporting event capital and builds on the success of this year’s NAB Challenge event between Hawthorn and North Melbourne.

AFL Chief Executive Officer, Gillon McLachlan said the NAB Challenge was about taking the game to fans right around the country.

“The NAB Challenge continues to take our game across the country to regional and suburban grounds that don’t normally host AFL football during our regular premiership season.

“Football has a deep connection to the Shepparton community which is why we’re delighted to be staging a NAB Challenge match at Deakin Reserve next year when the Cats meet the Bombers.”

AFL Goulburn Murray Region General Manager, Martin Gleeson said having an AFL game in the region is a great way to connect the elite with the local community.

“The event will be a celebration of our national game and further reinforces the game’s place in the community.”

L2P success speaks volumes LOCAL L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program marked a fantastic milestone during the week with their 100th participant successful gaining his ‘P’ plate drivers licence.

L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program Coordinator, Bill Winters said, “It’s been five years since Berry Street and Shepparton English Learning Centre (SELC) aligned to create our Strathbogie and Greater Shepparton L2P Learner Driver Mentor Programs, both were launched in October 2010 and ironically we are now celebrating our 100th successful participant coinciding the anniversary.

“We never dreamt the program would come this far. It’s a program that’s recognised, it’s opened a lot of doors. It’s wonderful for everyone involved.”

100th L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program participant, 18 year old Ramzan Khair Ali from Shepparton said, “When I started at the Shepparton English Learning Centre (SELC), I

was able to register for the program.

“Berry Street and SELC have given me lots of opportunities and I feel much more independent. Every morning I can drive to school, it’s wonderful.”

Bill said, “L2P not only gives our participants the necessary driving skills for independence but it also helps to improve English learning levels from school based English to conversational English, which is really good.”

Shepparton L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program Volunteer, Leo Houlihan said, “Five years ago when Berry Street and SELC got together, we were given the opportunity to train to become driving mentors and it’s been tremendous.

“All of our students are incredibly dedicated. I’m a little bit biased, but they’re just great to work with, they’re so eager to learn and it gets me out of bed feeling like I’m doing something positive every morning. It’s a wonderful experience.”

GREAT NIGHT OUT… The Eastbank Centre put on a fantastic night for the sizeable crowd.

20th annual business awards welcome record crowds continued from front page “WE had a record 470 people in attendance in this our 20th year and it was great to have the support of our new major sponsor White King - Pental and Quality Parklake Hotel, Shepparton ShowMe and Watters Electrical who have also come on board this year. Thanks also goes to Choice Group, Shepparton Business Centre, RACV and GOTAFE for their continued support over the years.

“The highlight of the event of course, as in other years, is the presentation of the Hall of Fame recipient and this year was no exception. It was personally very gratifying to announce Renato’s Florist as this year’s honoured Hall of Fame inductee.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both Sam and Josie

Renato and all of the team at Renato’s Florist.

“This year we also enjoyed a record number of nominations from Tatura and were excited to see two winners announced.

Judges comments highlighted that the business community in Tatura are proactive about encouraging tourism and promoting all businesses in the Greater Shepparton area, which is wonderful to see.

“We would like to extend a big thank you to all of the judges on this year’s judging panel. There were many categories this year which were very close and it made the judges jobs even more difficult. In fact the Business of the Year - Trade Service Award which was won by John Morrow Refrigeration had to be counted back, such was the caliber of nominees.

“It was very inspiring to hear all of the comments from

judges regarding the Trainees and Apprentices who were nominated. These are our future leaders and it’s important to recognise them for all their efforts.

“We would also like to extend our thanks to the Eastbank Centre and staff as well as Shepparton Food Producers for their tremendous efforts and delicious food particularly catering to such a large crowd, they did a wonderful job. Also to Finer Fruit for the fresh fruit centrepieces and all of the people who helped behind the scenes to make this year’s event such an incredible success.

“On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, I’d like to extend our sincere congratulations to all of the winners on the night.”

2015 winners announced Wanganui Park Secondary College

Daly Wilson

TRAINEE OF THE YEAR Trainee of the Year award recipient, Daly Wilson from Wanganui Park Secondary College with sponsor representative, Watters Electrical CEO, David Bassett.

The judges chose Daly Wilson as the winner because of the extremely difficult and delicate nature of his role at Wanganui Park Secondary College. Daly deals with students with very special needs and works hard to earn their trust. In earning their trust, Daly has also earned the trust and respect of parents and teachers. Daly admits that it was a role that he never saw himself doing, but by his own admission, the role has helped him mature and ready himself for University. Daly understates the value and importance of his work, because it appears his nature is to be a quiet achiever. It is understood that teachers and parents alike believe he is doing an amazing job. It is for these reasons and the fact Daly is an outstanding, modest young person, that he has been chosen as the Trainee of the Year.

HOSPITALITY OF THE YEAR Sponsor representative, GOTAFE Commercial Manager Tourism Hospitality & Events, Ross Graham with Hospitality of the Year award recipient, Lagozzino’s Top Pub Tatura neighbour and friend, Tom Perry who accepted the award on their behalf.

The judges said the Commercial Family Hotel commonly known as Lagozzino’s has actively met community needs by establishing in house entertainment and events driven by the consumer. The need to keep reinventing themselves at every level takes a lot of work, but ultimately it is the way to stay relevant for an increasingly discerning public. This is a hands on establishment in a small country town catering for all age groups, with uncomplicated delicious food, good service and friendly staff, it is a place that makes you feel you are eating at home.

Brandon Fichera APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR From left, Apprentice of the Year Award sponsor representative, Watters Electrical CEO, David Bassett with Apprentice of the Year award recipient, Brandon Fichera from Admoor Plumbing.

The judges noted that Brandon has had great satisfaction and encouragement from being granted trust of completing certain tasks without the need of direct supervision. Brandon has great insight into explaining to his customers in a practical sense how he will perform the tasks at hand and treats his customers with respect at all times.

Shane Sali

ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR Sponsor representative Quality Parklake Hotel Director, Matthew Georgiou with Entrepreneur of the Year award recipient, Shane Sali from Arcade Fashions.

The judges said Shane was chosen for this award, as he is not only constantly striving for different ways to succeed in his industry and in the most cost effective way, but he was the only nominee that recognised that, to have a successful business not only do you need to be efficient and effective at managing your business but also at influencing the obstacles around you.

There were two direct factors affecting Mr Sali’s business; one being the decisions made by the committee concerning the Shepparton community and the second being the quality of young retail employees. Mr Sali therefore became part of the Shepparton ShowMe Committee and he also mentors students at local schools about overcoming and influencing these obstacles.

The judges noted that the journey to opening Fun City Shepparton in May 2015 has been very well planned and executed. A very clear business plan was constructed with strategies for growth and sustainable strategies to combat future challenges. Fun City has a very clear understanding of their target market and has demonstrated successful marketing strategies to attract these markets. The business has a strong advantage over its competitors and has reported many opportunities for growth. The state of the art equipment in Fun City not only leads the way in Shepparton but is a nationwide leader. The innovative methods and new technology used to assist with customer service and the ongoing training of staff is very impressive.

Fun City has demonstrated their involvement and contribution to the local community and their recognition of tourism as a major driver of business success is also evident.

Stephen Schneider

The Judges said the rebranding of Showcase Jewellers to Stephens Jewellers is underpinned by a very clear strategy with the aim of better positioning the business in the diamond jewellery market and being able to offer more diverse products and experiences to customers. It was identified that “Stephen” as the proprietor of Showcase had a high profile that was leveraged to create the new brand.

In doing so, this assisted in retaining loyal customers, while creating the opportunity to attract new ones. The execution of the rebranding has been undertaken at the highest level and has been fully integrated across the business. Within a short period of time the brand has achieved a high level of awareness and has resulted in a growth in the customer base. The branding design clearly conveys a sense of quality and personalisation, and that purchasing a piece of jewellery, particularly diamonds, is actually an investment and a very personal decision.

Award recipient, John Morrow Refrigeration Director, Darren Maxted with award sponsor representative, The Adviser General Manager, Will Adams.

The judges noted that John Morrow employs 25 local staff, they employ their own electricians and plumbers – which enables the business to service their customers quicker and more efficiently, which they see as a major differentiator from other businesses.

They have an offsite weekly meeting with all staff and a monthly meeting with their accountant, their ability to articulate their local marketing plan, how they use technology to provide the best customer service to their customers and how they empower their staff to learn and develop and take their business into the future is commendable.

Lurline Le Neuf Award recipients, Pillow Talk 3IC, Jessica Mot, Manager, Lurline LeNeuf, Sales (representing 2IC), Stacey Bigg and award sponsor representative, Southern Cross Austereo General Manager, Leanne Hulm.

The judges said that this was a particularly difficult section to judge with a variety of retail formats and some quite outstanding stores.

Pillow Talk were a deserved winner from tough competition.

They are proud to say they have two of their original staff members, Joyce and Anne still working with them, which is very rare these days in any retail business.

Tourism is everyone’s business TOURISM FOR A GREATER SHEPPARTON… Pictured from left, Organic Delights Proprietor, Tania Bowman with Belstack Strawberry Farm Proprietor, Peter Tacey. Photo: Madeleine Caccianiga.

TOURISM Greater Shepparton (TGS) is encouraging local businesses to be proactive in driving the economic benefits from the tourism dollar and to join them in promoting the region as a premier tourism destination.

Popular local tou rism destination, Belstack Strawberry Farm, has been a member of TGS for more than 25 years.

Belstack Strawberry Farm Proprietor, Peter Tacey said, “Certainly, without the support of the tourism industry we wouldn’t exist today, but it’s so beneficial for everyone and a lot of people don’t realise that they’re a part of it.

“The income that we’re driving through our businesses is being spent locally and that’s the tourism dollar being circulated.

We probably attract around 60 percent external tourism (from outside of the region), that external money coming in helps to support the local economy.

“We buy our fuel locally, we pay our insurances, we go to the supermarket or fruit shops. When we visit any of our local businesses we’re spending that tourism dollar right here.

“The criteria these days for a tourist is if they’ve travelled more than 10kms.

We are all a part of tourism in our local

community,” Peter said.

Organic Delights have been operating for the past five years in the region and are new members to TGS. Organic Delights Proprietor, Tania Bowman said, “We just wanted people to know that we’re here and what we do. It takes a long time to get a business up and running and we’re just starting to feel like we’re in a position to promote ourselves to the community.

“TGS is providing us an opportunity to be involved and hopefully become a bit more known.”

TGS is a non-profit organisation which is dedicated to responsibly promoting Greater Shepparton, whilst providing leadership, information and networking opportunities for its members.

Tourism is everyone’s business. This is ref lected in TG S’ productive and collaborative working relationship with the Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre and Greater Shepparton City Council as well as Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Shepparton Show Me.

T he pathway to THERE are many pathways available to women who are wanting to strive and achieve their goals in business, regardless of industry or profession.

Self belief is a vital factor in making the decision to progress, whether in higher education, job progression, leadership or even starting your own business.

But how do we develop self belief and retain it in the face of challenges?

Self belief can be learned. Discard your inner negative voice. When you start to doubt yourself, listen, ask yourself whose voice it really is? Understand that it’s not your true voice and start to challenge it, or better still, ignore it.

Turn your weaknesses into your strengths. You can’t rest on your laurels

success

and just assume there’s things about yourself that can’t be improved, take steps towards change. Take any negative belief you have about yourself and reverse it so that it becomes, in its place, a positive.

Become your own motivational coach and surround yourself with people who inspire and drive you to believe in yourself.

If you notice doubts rearing their ugly heads, think of what you’d say to someone you really believe in if they started showing doubts and give yourself that same advice.

Self-belief comes not just by trying to convince yourself you can do things. True self-belief actually comes from developing the vision that you can achieve the goals that you set out to achieve.

Shepparton turns out for Twilight Market event LOVE Your Local was the concept of stay at home mothers and friends, Stacey Anderson (formerly of Nathalia) and Lisa Rees who both met through their mother’s group in the Macedon Ranges. The pair were both into craft, creating their own home made brands ‘Sole Kids’ and ‘Piddle Proof Pads’ and at the time, were disappointed to learn that there weren’t markets available in their area to showcase their handy work.

After a lot of hard work and planning, Lisa and Stacey held their first Love Your Local market in the Macedon Ranges three years ago and the concept has just grown from there. Nowadays the duo hold markets all over Victoria, with a concentrated theme on locals in their local areas and are excited to showcase their concept right here in the Goulburn Valley.

Stacey said, “The market in Shepparton on Saturday night far exceeded our expectations, which is fairly obvious to any one who attended.

“We’re meeting with Greater Shepparton City Council to discuss the possibility of spreading the market out and giving people more room to move, creating a seating area and also bringing in a stage for live music.

“Shepparton ShowMe have come on board to support us and Greater Shepparton City Council have been wonderful in their support of the event also.

“We would like to say a big thank you to Shepparton and to everyone who turned out for the event. We’re currently going through the process of improving the event for next month, with a more crowd friendly layout. We hope to see everyone back again.”

Perfect party ideas this Christmas CHRISTMAS party planning can be a stressful process. Whether at home with family and friends or for corporate gatherings, there are a few things you can do to make the process easier.

First, you need to determine the style of the party you want to hold; do you want a sit-down dinner or something more casual, like a cocktail party.

Buffets make dinner parties easy: You can get dishes out quickly and keep them warm while guests can help themselves.

For a stress-free cocktail party, stock the pantry and prepare hors d’oeuvres ahead of time. That leaves only an hour or two of prep on the day of your event.

Once you’ve decided what kind of party you’re going to host, determine the date, time, guest list and menu. Then put together a list of people to invite and decide how you’re going to get the word out. It’s a good idea to invite your guests at least three to four weeks in advance if not sooner, as calendars fill up fast around the holiday season.

can be made in advance, which will save you time and energy on the day of the party.

The next step is to choose your menu. If you’re having a sit down dinner, pick and choose recipes which are simple and delicious and that will go well together, that way you can create your own holiday menu.

Make as much of the food and drinks ahead of time as you can. Of course, some things cannot be made beforehand, but try to get all of your prep work done as early as possible. If you’re organised and have everything ready when the party starts, you’ll be better able to attend to your guests.

If you’ve decided on a cocktail party, put together a list of appetisers you’d like to serve.

It’s a good idea to choose appetisers which

Page 28 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1274 Wednesday, October 28, 2015

At least a day before, make a list and schedule of what needs to be made and when. Make sure to leave at least an hour before the party starts for any last minute emergencies and, of course, to get ready and relax before your guests arrive.

State-of-the-art imaging facilities at Goulburn Valley Imaging IT’S not often that a regional centre can boast medical resources that are on par with those of Melbourne. Yet thanks to Goulburn Valley Imaging’s ongoing investment in state-of-theart imaging facilities, Shepparton is home to one of the best equipped radiology and nuclear medicine services in the country.

Goulburn Valley Imaging (GVI) has been a cornerstone of the local community for nearly forty years. During that time, they have consistently delivered high quality imaging services that often help to save the lives of local residents.

Aside from being the only facility in the region that performs breast screens, GVI’s facilities also include access to high quality M R I , Nuclear Medicine, C T, X-ray, Ultrasound, Interventional procedures, OPG, Dexa and after-hours X-ray services.

Mr Stavros Dodos, CEO of GVI says that GVI’s investment in modern and comprehensive medical facilities reflects the management team’s ongoing commitment to the local community.

“At GVI we have a strong history of caring for residents of the Goulburn and Murray Valleys. We’ve provided vital imaging services to the region for more than 35 years, and we service approximately 150,000 residents annually throughout rural and regional Victoria,” he said.

“In keeping up to date with the latest technological advances, the GVI team are making sure that regional patients have convenient access to potentially life-saving technologies. Keeping our facilities up to date also allows us to stay one step ahead of the future demands of our growing community.”

Botanic Gardens wins Tidy Towns Award THE Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton was announced as the winner of the 2015 Cultural Heritage awards category and was highly commended in the Protection of Environment category at the Keep Victoria Beautiful Tidy Towns Awards, held in Beechworth on Saturday.

The gardens were the winner in the Cultural Heritage category, specifically for the Terrace Food Garden and the Weaving Garden. This Terrace Food Garden was the first from the master plan to be created and its striking design, texture and colour is revealed only when the visitor reaches the top of the lookout area.

The gardens were also highly commended in the Protection of the Environment category, showcasing the work undertaken to develop the site from a landfill site to the current Botanic Gardens.

The committee will also receive $1,000 to install seating around the gardens.

Greater Shepparton Councillor and Botanic Gardens Special Committee Chairperson, Jenny Houlihan said the Terrace Food Garden tells the story of the development of irrigated and non-irrigated agriculture in the Goulburn Valley.

IF IT’S

GOT WHEELS HG DREAM… Shepparton local, David Miller with his 1970 HG Brougham. Photos: Alicia Niglia.

For the love of

cars & coffee SHEPPARTON local, David Miller was thrilled to realise a childhood dream when he happened across a pristine condition, 1970 HG Brougham.

David said, “There was only limited numbers produced when they were released back in 1968/69. Over the three models; the HK, HT and HG there was only approximately 4,500 to 5,000 released, so they’re very rare.

“I was lucky enough to find this one in Melbourne. I’ve wanted one since I was 16. My first car was a HK Premier and my dad had one when he was younger also.

“I’ve always loved the shape, the longer boot… They’re such a luxury car to drive.”

David was lucky enough to stumble across the HG earlier this year on carsale.com and it was in great condition.

David said, “All I’ve done to it since I got it was put on the white wall tyres and lower the back of it. Other than that, it was in great condition.”

David is a member of local car club, GV Cars and Coffee and says he loves the opportunity to get the HG out and meet with mates.

David said, “We meet on the second and fourth Sunday of the month, every month at the Motor Museum. We support the local coffee and café establishments, we’re locals who enjoy supporting our locals and what a better way to do it! The two loves of my life; cars and coffee.

“We’re all just like minded enthusiasts, who just quietly enjoy our cars and each other’s company.”

As for his plans with the HG, David says he’s just looking forward to enjoying it.

The team was great and it was an amazing experience completing the event with colleagues. Everyone helped everyone across the line.

“Also knowing that we were doing it to raise money for The Community Fund Goulburn Valley made it all worth while.

“It’s definitely something we can tick off the list now. We’re a bit battered and bruised and I think it might be time for a

new fundraising idea for next year.”

The X-Rayted Mudrunners were made up of 20 GVIG team members ranging from radiologists to administration staff, radiographers and sonographers and everyone in between with GV IG sites throughout country Victoria represented.

K rist y said, “It was great to have representatives from all of our sites working together. The Community Fund Goulburn Valley is such a fantastic organisation and we were very proud to support it.”

The Community Fund Goulburn Valley CEO, Cheryl Hammer said, “What a mammoth effort by the GV IG Team of 20 in the weekend’s Tough Mudder competition. The X-Rayted Mudrunners completed the course, a bit battered and bruised, but with very high spirits and they have raised $2,210 for The Community Fund along the way. Well done to you all.”

An ace shot scores Maurice a BMW LOCAL resident, Maurice Crepsan walked away from the Shepparton Golf Club a very happy man at the weekend, after a special round of golf, brought about through the club’s partnership with Shepparton BMW, saw Maurice win a brand new, $50,000 BMW X1.

There were 180 playing on the day, and 150 who entered the competition that allowed 16 holes of regular golf and a challenge put to golfers on the 17th hole; sink a ball in one shot and win a BMW, and that’s exactly what Maurice did.

Shepparton BM W Dealer Principal, Aaron Brain said, “The launch on the new BMW X1 was last week and I wanted to do something different with the launch, and so I contacted Stephen at the Shepparton Golf Club and we decided to hold a special golf day.

“The day was very successful and helped to generate a little extra interest at the golf club and in the BMW. “Maurice is obviously a very happy man.”
