By David Lee ON the back of a recently reported attempted abduction of an 11 year old Numurkah boy and another attempt in Nathalia only days later, a warning has been issued to parents to not only educate their children on ‘stranger danger’ out on the streets, but also to be aware and cautious of the dangers of online grooming. On Friday, November 6 at 8pm, the Numurkah boy was allegedly approached by a man believed to be in his 50s on Melville Street, who was driving a white van without registration plates and offered the boy lollies to “get in the van.” Continued on page 20

MASTER PLAN TO SEE TOILETS DEMOLISHED… The Greater Shepparton City Council’s Queens Garden’s Master Plan includes the demolition of the brick toilet blocks, which will begin this week and continue for the coming three weeks. Image: Supplied

Demolition works causing a stink By David Lee AFTER demolition plans were passed through council in July this year, the Queen’s Gardens public toilets will begin a three week removal process this week, in-line with council’s master plan for the gardens. But the $22,081 demolition works have caused quite a bit

of controversy within the community, with fears that Shepparton’s public toilet shortage is being made worse. Constructed in the 1930s, the brick toilet’s proposed removal received 14 objections that were lodged with council earlier this year. Continued on page 18

Spreading tissue and organ donation message by

‘Chasing Rainbows’ By David Lee ZAIDEE’S Rainbow Foundation is helping to spread the message of the importance of tissue and organ donation to children and parents alike in a colourful and interactive way, through the release of a picture book, Chasing Rainbows. A first for Australia if not the world, the book, which was written by Author and foundation CEO, Allan Turner tells the story of Zaidee’s journey from the start to her inspiring end and educates on the importance of being an organ and tissue donor. Allan said, “We had been thinking about the idea for the book for 10 years and over the last two years we have been working on it. “As sad as Zaidee’s story may be, for others it was their saviour. “When Zaidee passed, we called the school to let them know, which was a tough conversation to have and we found that the school didn’t have the resources and material available to educate the students on what had happened and what organ and tissue donation is and what it can do to change lives. We are hoping that this book will now help schools to have something on hand to help with that. “As part of the book, we created Shoey, who was based on a pair of Zaidee’s old shoes

which she wore rainbow shoelaces in. We are hoping that Shoey will become a catalyst to help spread the message further and help children relate to the message and importance of organ and tissue donation. “We are hoping it tugs on the emotions and hopefully helps to inspire discussion. “By encouraging parents to speak to their children about organ and tissue donation, we hope that those family members currently on

the transplant waiting list will have a better chance of receiving their transplant in time.” Zaidee’s mum, Kim Turner said, “We also hope that families who are faced with the same situation of losing a loved one can feel gratified to know that from their loss they are able to help save and improve others’ lives.” Chasing Rainbows is available at Valley Booksellers, Maude Street Mall, Shepparton.

Shop theft costing Aussie households By David Lee THE GLOBAL Retail Theft Barometer has recently revealed that shop theft is costing the country’s retail sector $2.7B a year and Aussie households over $424 per year. But to help combat this locally, Shepparton Police have been working with businesses to catch offenders, recently tying up their third wave of Operation Consequence, which saw 14 offenders caught over two days. While ‘retail shrink’ caused by shop theft dropped in Australia from 1 percent of sales in 2013-2014 to 0.96 percent during 2014-2015, the problem continues to cost retailers, with the costs associated then affecting carry over costs added to items to cover the loss. When sorted by retail vertical, the most stolen items included denim (Apparel and Fashion Accessories), batteries (DIY Home Improvement), mobile device accessories (Electronics), infant formula (Food and Beverage) and makeup products (Health and Beauty). Focus Cards and Gifts Business Owner, Peter Dunbabin said, “Shop theft roughly costs our business between $1,500 to $2,000 annually and obviously this impacts on pricing of our products because we have to cover the costs associated with the loss. “We praise the police for taking shop theft seriously and doing all they can to protect small businesses in Shepparton.” Shepparton Police Crime Prevention Officer, Leading Senior Constable Glenn Gibson said, “We take shop theft very seriously. “It’s one thing to identify an offender but it comes down to whether or not a shop has a policy in place to arrest an offender or has adequate security measures in place and that is a big part of what Operation Consequence is all about. “With the Christmas period coming up we will have more police on

By David Lee FOLLOWING an accident in June this year where a single vehicle veered off the road and into the Country Fire Authority (CFA) bell outside the Mooroopna CFA building along Echuca Road, the Mooroopna Fire Brigade are getting their hands dirty to repair damages to the nature strip and gardens. With works to remove trees last week, the coming weeks will see the brigade install instant turf and a sprinkler system, with

plans to further re-model the front garden next year. Mooroopna Fire Brigade Captain, Ray Stockwell said, “After the accident earlier this year, there was glass strewn through the lawn and so we made the decision to remodel the whole front and remove the trees. “At the moment we are pretty busy with the fire danger period but in Autumn or Winter next year, we hope to finish the garden off and install more plants.”

A ‘wheel’ generous donation By David Lee A GENEROUS donation of $11,000 made by the combined efforts of rotary clubs in Cobram, Numurkah, Tatura, Mooroopna and Shepparton have helped Community Accessability to secure a new wheelchair vehicle, allowing them to continue providing the much needed service to their 2,600 active clients. Community Accessability Area Manager, Mike Collins said, “We are very grateful to the combined rotary clubs of the area for this

generous donation of $11,000 to support the provision of a wheelchair accessible vehicle. “While we receive HACC funding from the Department of Health and Human Services, this funding is used for the coordination of volunteers and not used for running costs or replacement of vehicles. For these expenses, we rely on client contribution and organisations such as rotary, local government and other community groups. “W heelchair vehicles are the most expensive to buy, however they service the

needs of some of our most vulnerable people in the local government areas of Greater Shepparton, Moira and Strathbogie. “This donation from rotary makes it possible to continue that important service.” Rotary Club of Shepparton President, Geoff Withers said, “This donation is just a classic example of what rotary clubs can really do when we pull our resources together to help the community.”

IGA grants help the community to ride A F T E R receiving $1,0 0 0 in f u nding through Fairleys SUPA IGA Community Grants program, the local Riding for the Disabled were able to put the money toward purchasing a new horse to help in their program. Riding for the Disabled Secretary, Kathy Hamilton said, “We have three classes each Tuesday and we have roughly 10 riders in each class, so having reliable steady horses makes it a lot more enjoyable for the riders, teachers and the coaches. The benefits to the riders are enormous. “We are very grateful to IGA for the funding. It is great to have such community support. It really makes all the difference and gives you confidence in what the group is trying to achieve. “The funding is to be used for another horse for the group, and we are still in search for a suitable horse.” Fairley’s SUPA IGA Shepparton Manager, Craig Bramley said, “All of this is possible because customers at Fairley’s IGA care

Vegetation works carried out to improve lake precinct safety

CAR PARK SAFE AGAIN… The Chemist Warehouse car park area has just undergone renovations to make the car park safer in time for the busy Christmas trading season. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

Safety concerns trigger

car park upgrade By David Lee SAFETY concerns at the Chemist Warehouse car park on the corner of Vaughan and Maude Streets triggered its closure last week, with Shepparton Commercial Pty Ltd and Greater Shepparton City Council working together to ensure the popular car park is fit for shoppers during the upcoming Christmas trading season. The safety concerns included large potholes and significant trip hazards due to tree roots that had lifted the pavement.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure, Steve Bowmaker said, “Shepparton Commercial Pty Ltd have closed the car park due to safety concerns and have asked council to obtain the services of a contractor to make the car park safe. Works commenced on Tuesday last week, and reopened early this week. “Moving into the busy Christmas trading season, we want to make sure there are as many safe and adequate car parking spaces available to the community as possible.”

SAFER PRECINCT… Trees at the Victoria Park Lake Caravan Park are currently being pruned and removed to make the popular precinct safer. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

WORKS have commenced to prune and remove trees at the Victoria Park Lake Caravan Park to make the popular precinct safer, and will be carried out in stages to minimise disruptions to those using the caravan park and lake facilities. Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure, Steve Bowmaker said the native vegetation around the Victoria Park Lake precinct is highly valued by the community and council and is part of what makes this precinct unique to Shepparton. “In order to provide safe facilities for patrons of the caravan park as well as people utilising the lake precinct and our staff, these

works need to be undertaken. “The trees have been inspected by a qualified Arborist and only trees deemed to present a hazard to caravan park users will be removed. “While we have some trees which need to be removed in another section of the lake precinct, council has retained three red gum trees as part of the Aquamoves carpark works. This is fantastic for Greater Shepparton and is in line with council’s sustainability strategy. “The trees that will be removed will be returned to the environment as habitat for native animals or turned into mulch.”

Police conference harvests ideas VICTORIA Police Agricultural Liaison Officers (AGLOs) from all over the state descended on the Melbourne University Dookie campus for the annual AGLO conference last week, to discuss a collective approach to reducing the impact of crime upon rural communities and farming enterprises. The role of the AGLOs is specific to livestock theft and farm crime and includes investigations, providing advice as ‘subject matter experts’ to other police members, establishing and maintaining relationships with local stakeholders and maintaining an understanding of the trends, issues and concerns within their local areas. L ivesto ck T hef t a nd Fa r m C ri me ‘ Head of Prac t ice ,’

Superintendent Craig Gillard said it was really important for the AGLOs to share information and ideas. “The conference is the most important event in the AGLO calendar. “It allows members from all over the state to come together and discuss investigative techniques and to consider new and emerging initiatives and strategies, which could be implemented to reduce crime and the chance of farmers becoming victims of crime. “Each AGLO specialises in a different field, whether it be cattle, sheep, equestrian issues or general farming. “It’s a great opportunity to bring them all together to discuss diverse topics that impact on different areas of farming life.”

OPINION

Letters to the Editor

Rude To Royals

Dear Editor, Prince Charles and his dear wife have had a successful visit to Australia. As usual, when royals visit our country they are welcomed with open arms by the majority of Aussies. However, there has been blight on their recent visit. The media and other discontented republicans have used every opportunity to raise the issue of Australia ditching the Queen and becoming a republic. I think it has been the height of rudeness to raise the republic issue while Prince Charles and Camilla have been in Australia. The two royals might get the impression that we don’t want them around. I’m certain this is not the case with the majority of Aussies. It has been good manners on the part of the royals, especially the Queen, not to make comments on the republic issue. It’s just too bad that media and other publicity seekers wouldn’t show the same decorum the royals demonstrate in their public walk amongst us. Yours sincerely, Jay Nauss Glen Aplin

Response To Empty Promise Filled With Asbestos

Dear Editor, This letter is in response to the article titled ‘Empty promise filled with asbestos’ published in The Adviser on Wednesday, November 4. Since being elected in November 2014, the Andrews Labor Government has undertaken an unprecedented level of activity to remove asbestos from our schools as part of our $100M commitment. We are getting on with the job and have already removed high-risk asbestos at over 300 schools across the state.

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.

On top of this, we have removed asbestos from 119 relocatable buildings. In our first year in government we have dedicated nearly $50M towards asbestos removal, compared to a mere $7.5M that was spent in 2014/15 under the previous coalition government. In addition, as part of our capital works program in Victorian government schools, the largest in Victoria’s history, we delivered $334M in our first Budget to modernise buildings across 83 existing schools. During these capital works projects, significant amounts of asbestos will be removed. I welcome the coalition’s newfound interest in this important issue, but the Shadow Minister and Member for Northern Victoria should be asking themselves why so little was done to address this issue when they had the chance. Tackling the issue of asbestos in our schools is not a quick fix and we have a comprehensive long-term plan. Unlike the former coalition government, we will not ignore this problem and will continue to get on with the job of removing asbestos from our government schools. Yours sincerely, James Merlino Deputy Premier, Minister for Education

Letter to the Prime Minister

Dear Prime Minister, I want to let you know about a unique international event that has huge potential to put Australia on the map far more effectively than it has to date. My company, Two Men and a Truck, was recently a sponsor for The World Solar Challenge. This international event took place from October 18 to 25 in a race from Darwin to Adelaide. The World Solar Challenge is a bi-annual international competition where students from top universities across the world form a team and apply their best innovative engineering and technology talents to design and build a

Page 8 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1277 Wednesday, November 18, 2015

vehicle. These solar powered vehicles compete in a race over eight days from Darwin to Adelaide, making northern and central Australia the centre of the world stage for this exciting and inspiring event. While The World Solar Challenge is covered in media around the world, sadly the domestic profile to date has been underwhelming, just a small mention on the ABC. But it seems a no brainer that Australia should seize the opportunity presented by this event to proclaim our place in the world as a vibrant, inspiring, advanced, diverse and clever country. Clearly we need to grab the initiative offered by the competition because The World Solar Challenge embodies the highest principles of innovative responses to the urgent questions of sustainability, a model of universities, business and innovation to solve world problems, demonstrating innovative practice to communities, schools and business, inspiring youth to apply discipline, innovation and dedication in the use of technology to benefit the planet, showcases northern and central Australia on the world stage and showcases a practical intersection between business and academe to benefit the planet and all its creatures. I would be very happy to meet with you to discuss how we could attract Australian media to cover the event so that we can leverage the event to present Australia to the world as a vibrant, inspiring, advanced, diverse and clever country, draw attention to northern and central Australia, the stage for this event and to prepare communities on the route to view the vehicles as a means of practical education on solar energy and assist school education nationally to learn about northern and central Australia and solar energy. Yours sincerely, Richard Kuipers Director Two Men and a Truck

Fernwood Fitness Shepparton Club Owner, Danni Whitaker said, “We are thrilled to be able to support the network. I have seen many ladies over the years battle breast cancer in our clubs and it’s great to be able to provide support.” “BCNA and Fernwood’ hope to create a sense of community for these ladies. Exercise is also vital to their rehabilitation, and to help prevent the cancer recurring. “Being a women’s only club, this partnership is really important to us.” Fernwood’ and BCNA aim to raise $100,000 nationally. At a local level, Fernwood’ is offering 14 days access to the gym, for $20, as well as a week of special events. All proceeds go to the foundation.

Expanded organic waste service begins GREATER Shepparton City Council’s expanded food and garden waste service for all urban residents started on Monday, November 16, with all urban residents now having a complimentary 8 litre kitchen caddy and 150 purple compostable bags delivered, along with a green lid bin if one was not already present. Greater Shepparton City Council Councillor, Jenny Houlihan said, “It’s a really exciting time for Greater Shepparton residents who can dispose of their waste more

easily while reducing what goes into landfill. All kitchen scraps, including meat, bones, fish, dairy, citrus peel and onions, can go into the kitchen caddy and emptied into the green lid bin for fortnightly collection. “It’s great that products which can’t go into your compost bin or worm farm can now be treated like garden waste and turned into compost. Even things like animal droppings, tissues and paper napkins can be treated and turned into compost.

Page 10 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1277 Wednesday, November 18, 2015

“The bins are picked up from your kerbside, then taken to Western Composting to be treated at high temperatures and turned into compost. The compost is then used by landscapers and farmers so is returned back to the earth.” The green lid bin will be picked up fortnightly, alternative to your recycling bin. If you are not sure what bin needs to be collected in which week, visit http://greatershepparton.com.au/ kerbside-collection. Simply type in your street name and it will let you know which bins are going to be collected.

SUNSHINE, shade, acoustic tunes and a family friendly environment are all on offer at this weekend’s Live at the Park 2015 event. Another event brought to you by the Word and Mouth Youth Committee and the WAM Army, Live at the Park is set to chill out in Shepparton on Saturday, November 21, at the Queen’s Gardens from 2pm to 8pm. Word and Mouth Project Manager, Jim Gow said, “This is a local tradition that we are bringing back to life. “Everyone loves the warm weather and getting out in it, so when things are put on locally by local people, then that is very appealing. Essentially there is going to be entertainment for families too, as well as the young people of Greater Shepparton, so everyone is encouraged to come along. You will be amazed by what these youths sound like. “We continue to engage young people by putting on a range of events for youths to do in Greater Shepparton. We too often hear that there is nothing to do in the area for young people and we are constantly looking to change that. This day is also featuring

some of great local young artists that we have right now, so people should come down and check it out. We’d love to show off all the good stuff that we have to offer! “This free event is hoping to get a lot of support for a few different reasons, with not only young musicians getting exposure and experience, but also a few other surprise happenings going on throughout the day. “Two local independent bands, ‘Black Panda’ and ‘Four Kings,’ are also going to be selling merchandise. Both bands are becoming more and more successful, and it is fantastic that Word and Mouth can be supporting these young entrepreneurs as well.” In a first for a Word and Mouth event, a ‘Shave for a Cure’ head shave to raise money for cancer, more specifically, the Leukaemia Foundation will be taking place at the event, where five young people and a parent will be shaving their heads on the main stage on the day. Every Word and Mouth event is fully supervised and is a drug, alcohol and smoke free event.

Get the competitive edge with advice from Steve Moneghetti I N S P I R AT I ON A L r u n n e r, S t e ve Moneghetti, will be among the prestigious panel of speakers set to inform and delight locals at the “How to Prepare Like a Pro” mini-expo, in December. W hen Cher Hethering ton, from MyoCycle, visited the “Triathlon and Cycling Expo” in Sydney recently, it sparked the idea for something similar in Shepparton. “I wanted to bring a new event to the region, which showcased our local businesses and provided information to locals from high caliber presenters,” Cher said. Headlining with Mr Moneghetti is Ben Day, a highly respected cycling and triathlon coach from Colorado, and the evening will be compered by popular SBS sports presenter, David McKenzie. The information delivered will focus on

the mental and physical preparation required for sporting events, at any level, and people are encouraged to go on social media to offer their questions in advance. At a local level, businesses will have the opportunity to demonstrate their services and there will be a special screening of “Fairless”, about local cycling identity Steve Fairless. This short film was featured at the Melbourne International film festival recently. Cher’s idea has been supported by sponsors Michel Signs, Wintersun Fruit and Mitchelton Winery, and she hopes it will become an annual event. The event includes a three-course meal and will be held on Tuesday, December 1 from 5.30pm. To book, call Riverlinks on 5832 9511 or go to www.riverlinksvenues.com.au

Bringing the world to Shepparton J OA N N E a n d M i c h a e l K e a r n e y, Co-proprietors of Purdeys Jewellers, are passionate about bringing the latest overseas trends to Australia, while producing a uniquely Australian look, at an affordable price. Recently returned from an overseas international trade fair and meetings with Italian jewellery manufacturers, Michael is in the process of designing and creating a range of cutting edge pearl drop earring designs for the Australian market. “We tried to have this beautiful range of earring designs ready for the Spring Racing Carnival season, however our workshop, at our Shepparton Store, has been inundated with custom diamond engagement ring design and manufacturing work for customers, extending from Melbourne to the NSW Riverina. This ‘cutting edge’ pearl earring range will now be featured heading into Purdeys Christmas trading period,” Michael said. Michael, who is a HRD Antwerp (Belgium) qualified diamond grader and jewellery designer, also uses the latest in laser weld

technology in Purdeys’ Shepparton store on-site workshop, for precise fusion of metals, including gold, platinum, silver and titanium. Laser weld technology is wonderful for heat sensitive jewellery and precious stones, with all work being undertaken under microscope, for absolute precision joins in metals. This combination of laser technology and expertise also enables Purdeys Jewellers to undertake more difficult and complex jewellery repair work on customers’ rare and special pieces in order to restore their original beauty. As qualified gemmologists and registered jeweller y valuers, Purdeys’ can also provide insurance valuations and repair or replacement quotations on such items. Happy customers wearing beautiful jewellery admired by others, has been a key driver behind Purdeys’ growth and success over three generations in the Goulburn Valley. For passion, perfection and qualified expertise in diamonds and beautiful jewellery design, drop in and see Michael at Purdeys Jewellers, 244 Wyndham Street, Shepparton or phone 5821 4679.

Contract awarded for roundabout development T HE contract to complete the $7.5M upgrade to the Midland Highway/Doyles Road roundabout was last week awarded to RECivil Pty Ltd. Once completed, the works will provide a dual lane to accommodate for growing traffic conditions in the area. Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell has welcomed the awarding of the contract for the Midland Highway/Doyles

Road roundabout upgrade. “The project includes $1.9M funded by the former Napthine Government in the 2014 State Budget. The balance of the $7.5M was funded by the commonwealth. “The construction of the dual lane roundabout is particularly important for the local freight industry in Shepparton, with 35 percent of all vehicles on Doyles Road being trucks.”

Demolition works causing a stink NEW toilets though are currently being installed at or are planned for Toolamba, Arcadia, Mooroopna and Congupna, with other options currently under consideration. The master plan for the gardens proposes the removal of the toilets and brick building behind the sound shell to make way for a wider pedestrian walk and pergola that

would act as an upgraded sound shell, as well as the potential for either a raised garden bed to be installed in the central feature of the gardens or transform it into a water fountain or statue. Local resident, Steve Templeman said, “We actually need more public toilets, not less. “Who’s to say that Exeloo will even work

in five years and I’d like to know what happened to the money that the council was given by Changing Places to build a new toilet in Shepparton. “I recently had an attack as I suffer from Acute Diverticulitis and use those toilets often when I go shopping. “And you just need to look at all the festivals that are held in Queens Gardens to realise the need for these toilets. The number of people using them is more than can be handled by the Exeloo at any time. “Tourist Buses turn up quite often at the Queens Gardens and with the Exeloo as the only toilet once the brick ones are demolished, I see this creating a huge problem. “On top of that, people have been trapped in the Exeloo; three times that I know of.” The removal of the toilets was adopted as part of the Queens Gardens Master Plan, which also includes the retention of the existing mature fir tree as referenced

in the Lovell Chen report dated May 24, 2015, as well as a reduction in size of the proposed pergola structure to ensure no part of the sound shell building is required to be demolished and the removal of taxi bays from the plan as required by former council resolution. Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure, Steve Bowmaker said the demolition of the brick toilets was outlined in the Queens Gardens master plan, which was adopted in 2010. “C ou nc i l re c o g n i s e s t he fe e db ac k received in relation to the planning permit notification. A 10 year development plan for public toilets in the municipality identified these toilets as surplus to requirements, whilst other public toilets are being constructed as part of the 10 year plan. “Demolishing these toilets allows us to continue to develop the Queens Gardens in accordance with the approved master plan.”

Child abduction warning continued from front page THE boy fled to a nearby friend’s home and the investigation is still ongoing according to Numurkah police. The incident is the first of two reported attempted abductions in the region in under a week. On the Thursday following the Numurkah incident, Nathalia police received a report of a man approaching a young boy on Muntz Avenue shortly before 9am and offering the boy a lift. The man was said to have been driving a white van described as an old style ambulance and although police at this stage cannot link the two incidences, they are not ruling out a connection. Shepparton Police Crime Prevention Officer, Leading Senior Constable Glenn Gibson said, “While the risks are extremely low in our area, the perils associated with stranger danger is a conversation you have to have regularly with your children and something you need to start while they are young. As they get older the exposure to risks increases as they gain independence. “We encourage parents to educate themselves on not just stranger danger on the streets, but also the risks of social media and the online world. Simple things such as learning about

security settings with Facebook can make all the difference. “The nature of ‘grooming,’ whether it is online or face-to-face is that the offenders will come across as really nice people and that is the danger. “There are some simple rules to follow. If you feel unsafe, trust your instincts and move away. If a stranger offers you something cool such as lollies or a lift home, don’t take it unless your parents say it is ok. If you are grabbed or touched, scream and yell stop it, help and don’t touch me. That is something parents can practise with their children. “It all comes down to planning the best you can with your children. As they become teenagers, explain that it is safer to go out in groups, teach them to have a plan and go through possible scenarios with them.” • If anybody has further information on the recent attempted abduction, contact Numurkah Police on 5862 3311, Nathalia Police on 5866 2404 or CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.

Mooroopna’s history to be better preserved THE Historical Society of Mooroopna has been awarded a $4,800 federal community heritage grant, which it plans to use to fund a Preservation Needs Assessment. This year, grants worth $438,710 have been distributed to 75 community groups and organisations from across the country to assist in the identification and preservation of community owned, but nationally significant, heritage collections. Historical Society of Mooroopna Secretary, Barry Campbell said the grant was important in supporting their effort to preserve the collection of the Historical Society of Mooroopna at the grassroots level. “While the grant provides the funds, the workshop offers the expertise to help us protect our collection and make it accessible while it remains in the local context. “We will start by creating a report on our preservation needs immediately, which will help in the selection of an expert in preservation needs who should then assess our collection as required by the grants. Then training is to be had with our key personnel, who will use the new skills in preserving our collection.”

Youth success through music By David Lee THREE massive events will see many local and big name performers come together to provide a chance for local musicians and lovers of music to celebrate both the personal and professional successes of music for young regional musicians. The Success for Youth through Music (SYM) events will run on Saturday, November 21 and Saturday, November 28 at Monichino Winery in Katunga from 12pm to 3pm and Sunday, December 6 at John Gehrig Wines in Rutherglen from 12pm to 3pm. The three events will host 60 local student performances from six local shires, Music Victoria, Vance Joys/Violent Soho’s manager, the Port Fairy Folk Festival Technical director, Jesse Hooper from Killing Heidi, the incredible Fraser A. Gorman and talented Mike Waters. The events will also see guest performances from Wally Howlett (The Elliots) and Bob Harrow (Immigrant Union), which is a side project for the Dandy Warhols Drummer, Brent DeBoer. Teen Challenge are also represented at the events. Event Organiser and local Music Teacher, Darrel DeFazio said, “As a musician and guitar teacher I have seen a desperate need for an annual networking event for young musicians that also can in turn promote the local area by involving major music industry bodies. “Another reason to do something of this size is to develop a stronger network between the young musicians and those that have flown the nest. “The amazing line up we have is so big it had to be spread out, so any one event won’t host all of the performers. “The event has been sponsored by The Little Music Shop in Shepparton and Bruce has gone above and beyond in helping.

Turn your spare room into a

guest oasis THE holiday season is almost upon us and that means guests, so there is no better time to transform your boring old spare room into a stylish haven.

Be space savvy

We often hoard unused bits and pieces in our spare rooms that can make the space look cluttered and untidy. Utilising space saving storage will hide those unsightly boxes of old clothes and allow plenty of room for your guests’ belongings. Beds with inbuilt storage compartments or clever closets that maximise on space are great options to help keep your visitors comfortable and mess-free.

Choose colour

Colour is a great way to add character to an otherwise boring room. Guest rooms should feel relaxed and soothing, so opt for cool, calming tones like green and blue, proven to relieve stress and support mental well-being.

Add artwork

Inject some personality into the room with a captivating piece of artwork. Make sure you compliment your colour scheme and opt for something bright and cheerful. Less is more when it comes to art, so it’s worth investing in one signature piece positioned behind the bedhead to create a welcoming environment for your guests.

Keep it fresh

We often shut the door to our spare rooms making them stale and musty. Ensure you keep the room fresh by opening up the windows and keeping scent diffusers on a bedside table.

Sweet dreams

Plush pillows and woolly blankets will be most welcomed by your weary travellers. Stay on trend with funky prints and designs, which are sure to impress. Keep linen crisp and clean with a good quality detergent and hot water when it comes time to wash.

IT started with a holiday, a holiday to Africa that stirred the imagination and lead to a commitment to build an orphanage to share

Out of Africa

the burden of Kenya’s massive number of orphans. But we are jumping ahead. It all started back in 20 08 when Wayne and Pam Limbrick of Waaia, decided to travel on Safari to Tanzania, like all good ideas it soon took on its own energy as Wayne and Pam decided to take their daughter Jodie with them, then her boyfriend Anthony was invited and of course, Wayne and Pam’s son Dean wanted to go and his wife Kristy also joined in. They all met up in Nairobi before heading to Tanzania for an eight day Safari. The 4x4 adventure took them to see the ‘big five;’ elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo and rhinos. Staying in luxury camps along the way, it was a great experience. The resorts they stayed in were great but not so much the villages they visited, where the poverty stood out. On the way home to Australia, Wayne and Pam decided they would like to make a contribution. Wayne, a rotarian, knew that Rotar y International had a number of projects in Africa; some 60 in all. Searching the website, he found the Umoja orphanage in Kenya. The project in its infancy was being run by an Aussie, Kathy Booth from Bundaberg in Queensland. Wayne and Pam decided to get on-board and start fundraising. They came up with

the idea of the Worlds Biggest Dinner Party and have run three of them to date, raising around $40,000. Wayne and Pam have been back to Africa to help work on the project, constructing a perimeter fence around the 15 acre site, a brick fence around the compound, a cottage, cow shed, vegetable gardens and the first home to house 10 children and two carers. In all, there will be seven of these giving accommodation to 70 children. The need is massive with AIDS taking its toll, leaving children homeless and even if a child gets sick and has to go to hospital the parents cannot afford to pay, so they often abandon the child. It’s estimated that there are 1.4 million orphans in Kenya, but as Wayne says if you can change the life of just one child then you have made a contribution. Each time that Wayne and Pam go back to work on the orphanage they also go on a safari. Recently they visited Tsavo near Mombasa, where they saw the ‘big five.’ The soil is red and so are the elephants of Tsavo but it’s a beautiful place with much to see. On this trip they took with them two fellow rotarians from Numurkah, Kate Hodge a Veterinarian and Julie Andrews, a nurse from GV Health. While they were at Umoja, they managed to treat some 200 children for various conditions. Wayne and Pam will be going back in

Help for owner builders LOCAL qualified, licensed and registered Builder, Greg O’Hara and the team from Genara Constructions are offering their support to local owner builders to help oversee their projects to completion. Greg said, “We can work with local owner builders throughout the process, utilising our expertise and workmanship to get the job done to the highest possible standard. “A lot of people choose to go the owner builder route in order to have more ‘hands on’ input in their own project and to ultimately save money. We’re very supportive of that and we work in with the owner builder to help with aspects of the project, which may be more challenging. “We have a fantastic local crew and we can also help connect owner builders with local trades who will look after them in terms of quality at realistic and affordable prices.”

LAWN BOWL FUN… From left, Valley Sport Project Officer, Jessica Crawley, East Shepparton Bowls Club Vice President, Frank Calogero, Shepparton Access clients, Cathy, Aaron, Leon and Rohan during Monday’s game of lawn bowls. Photo: David Lee.

Lawn bowls opens further access to community A STRONG partnership between Valley Sport, Shepparton Access and the East Shepparton Bowls Club over the past two years has seen clients of Shepparton Access learn a range of great new skills all while having fun and getting a little competitive, through a game of lawn bowls held every Monday. Valley Sport Project Officer, Dean Pritchett said, “It’s been great to see the guys come down and play bowls, whilst also getting coaching from the bowlers at East Shepparton Bowls

Club. They’re all really enthusiastic and enjoy the program immensely. “It’s important to engage persons with a disability into our sporting clubs, it’s a great way to get them involved in the local community.” East Shepparton Bowls Club Vice President, Frank Calogero said the program gives everyone a fair go. “It’s really satisfying seeing them come out and play and being able to give them high fives after a good shot. To watch

them enjoy playing the sport really makes it worthwhile.” Shepparton Access Support Worker, Andrew McCormack said, “This program is all about further accessing the community. It’s great to see our clients getting advice and experience from Frank, who is passionate about what he does. “They get a lot of enjoyment out of it all while learning new skills and it’s great to see them getting quite competitive.”

Silver and bronze for Jiu Jitsu trio GRAPPLING MEDALS… GV Jiu Jitsu Head Coach, Jason Farren performing a submissive Jiu Jitsu move on Assistant Coach, Kye Hardie, which is just one of the ways that Christian Burghartswieser (right) beat his opponents to walk away with a bronze medal at the Grappling Industries Melbourne competition. Photo: David Lee.

By David Lee THREE members of GV Jiu Jistu have walked away from the Grappling Industries Melbourne competition with three medals under their belts. Both Christian Burghartswieser and James Londrigan walked away from the competition with bronze medals and although it was the first competition he had entered, Jarrod Simpson walked away with silver. Christian, who has 20 years of Judo experience and is a Pro MMA Fighter, went up against four competitors, where he beat one through submission, drew with another, lost to one and won the final one by points gathered through takedowns. Christian said, “It felt great to walk away with a win. It shows

that hard work pays off and outlines the importance of consistent training.” The competition, held in Melbourne, saw 450 to 500 competitors ranging from white belts to black belts, battle it out for ultimate supremacy, and was the third competition that the crew at GV Jiu Jitsu had entered this year. GV Jiu Jitsu Head Coach, Jason Farren said, “We at GV Jiu Jitsu have been operating since 2010 and have won medals in every competition we have entered (average of three to four competitions a year). “It is great to see our guys constantly bringing home a win and we are very proud as a club to be producing such high quality competitors.”
