Safety concerns build over crumbling roads THERE is more than 4,000km of roads encompassing the Shepparton area and according to concerned locals, many sections of road contain damaged patches and are an accident waiting to happen. With an array of potholes and seemingly ‘quick fix’ jobs that are now crumbling in areas around the city including along Doyles Road, Wyndham Street, corner of Central Avenue and Benalla Road,

“… a catastrophe waiting to happen” McIntosh Street, Gowrie Street and Archer Street, the community is concerned for the safety of all road users and is urging Greater Shepparton City Council and VicRoads to act immediately.

By David Lee MOOROOPNA resident and local Texas Hold’em Poker ent husiast , M at t hew Wishart took out the title of Murray Champion recently, taking home the trophy along with his big chip win of $2,000 in prize money. Held at the Mulwala Water Ski Club, Matthew put on his ‘poker face’ against a field of over 140 poker players from all over Victoria and NSW, beginning the final table of the event as chip leader, with a stack of over 3 million. Some well timed ‘all ins’ and great pressure on his opponents saw him take out the event in just over nine hours. Fellow local, Tyler Flemming also earned himself a seat on the final table, finishing sixth overall and securing himself $400 of the $6,825 in prize money on offer. Event organiser and newly appointed A lbu r y/ Wodonga Regional Manager, M ichael K ing was impressed by the turnout, with over 30 players from the

Shepparton area alone making up the field of over 140, saying he hopes to build on the numbers in three months time when Matthew returns to Mulwala to defend his title. “There are three Texas Hold’em Poker events held each week in the Shepparton area, with anyone aged 18 and over welcome to come and give it a try. Poker is a friendly, fun, social game and you can join in the excitement from $12 with the opportunity to win hundreds of dollars on any given night,” Michael said.

Service providers to co-facilitate youth foyer RURAL Housing Network and Berry Street Victoria have been charged with the duty to be co-service providers for Shepparton’s Education First Youth Foyer, which plans to be open and ready for operation later this year. The two service providers will work in partnership with GOTAFE to deliver this new service, which will provide safe accommodation for up to 40 young people aged 16 to 24 who are attending secondary school, TAFE or university, and who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. These youths will be eligible for up to two years accommodation to assist them to maintain their studies, whilst being supported and mentored by staff and the local community. Berry Street senior manager community partnership and support services, Greg Laidlaw said, “The important thing for people to understand is that this youth foyer is being brought about through a partnership between Rural Housing Network, Berry Street and GOTAFE. “We’ll be providing other services to complement the ideals of the foyer including getting the youths to give back through volunteering and work experience and giving them the foundation and direction to take that next step away from their current situations. “With high unemployment rates and youths not being engaged in

It is extremely difficult to get educated, get employed, get connected to your community, get healthy and be safe, without safe, secure and affordable housing. The youth foyer provides that opportunity.”

Local’s 90 years as a community driven man By David Lee HE IS a well known face throughout the community, with some perhaps remembering Ken Moore as GJ Coles cafeteria manager, but it was all about Ken last week when the community driven man turned 90. When The Adviser arrived at a special family gathering to celebrate his birthday at the Royal Mail Hotel in Mooroopna on Tuesday, Ken was full of emotion, but he was all too happy to share his lifetime of stories. Ken said, “My biggest achievement has been my five daughters, which has led to 12 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and one great, great grandchild. I started a production line. “I worked with GJ Coles for 28 years and was manager of the cafeteria for six years. I ended up leaving Shepparton and worked in the Adelaide Coles for six years before taking up a job at Flinders University as the student catering manager. “I couldn’t stay away though. I moved back to Shepparton in 1980 and was the manager of the

Association for the Blind until I retired in 1984/85. “I was the inaugural president of the Shepparton Central Rotary Club and spent 17 years as a legatee. “I love being out in the community. I played bowls for 41 years and even became the national umpire, but I cannot play anymore so instead I have taken up croquet. “Perhaps one of the most interesting things I was involved in was servicing planes just after WWII. I serviced the planes in Singapore that were bringing prisoners of war back. Back then it took five days to go to Singapore and now it takes seven hours. Times certainly have changed. “I have to say though, what was more interesting than that was bringing up a family. “My most memorable moment would have been meeting and marrying my late wife Margaret. “If I had one piece of advice to pass on, it would be to help people and volunteer, it’s very rewarding and also to try and live a good, healthy life.”

Fight continues for our water THE next step as part of the Goulburn Murray Irrigation District Water Leadership Forum, saw Independent Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed, Committee for Greater Shepparton chair, David McKenzie and RMCG consulting water expert, Rob Rendell take an appeal to the Senate Select Committee last week. The visit allowed the group to meet with key stakeholders and discuss concerns, with hope to see the postponement of the Sustainable Diversion Limits adjustments, for the environment to recover on its own and the prevention of the planned 450GL to be removed from the system. Suzanna told The Adviser the group also took the opportunity to meet with the chairman and CEO of the Murray Darling Basin Authority, the commonwealth environmental water holder, David Papps and the Minister for Agriculture, Jaala Pulford to discuss their concerns. “This visit was about heightening the awareness of what is happening in the Goulburn Murray district and discuss the concerns we have, in particular the socio-economic impacts occurring in the region. “We also specifically asked what we want done. There were three important points we made that need to happen and happen quickly. “The first was that there be a postponement of the Sustainable Diversion Limits adjustments, that are to take place in June this year, for at least another 12 months to examine socio-economic impacts to the region, before the demands for water are made. “The second was to enable 650GL to be recovered by the environment doing its own work. “And finally, to prevent another 450GL coming out of the system in the future. We want that taken off the table all together. To go ahead with this would be too damaging. “These three requests would give everyone more time to look at other opportunities and make sure the environment is sufficient,” Suzanna said.

DOUBLE EDGED SWORD FOR MAUDE STREET MALL Dear Editor, Business in the modern era over the last (20) years is geared by neo-liberalist ideology of a free market society tailored now for a capitalist approach ie: spend more, buy more, we live in a consumerist society of ‘I need.’ Unfortunately what we see is a double edged sword for the Maude Street Mall. Greater Shepparton City Council (GSCC) love collecting rates from these super mega stores in retail such as Aldi, Dan Murphys, Pillow Talk, Bunnings that are shifting the people’s shopping habits to the outer perimeter so to speak. Thus the CBD can’t compete when it comes to small business as free parking, bigger buying power and the hunger to drive hard on the bottom line is seen as imperative - profit before people. The reality is GSCC are frightened that putting traffic back again via Maude Street Mall would be so successful it would impact on shopping behaviour thus causing larger stores to have less flow of customers therefore the big business might potentially fold and big empty buildings means no collecting of big coin regarding rates or rent. The reality is easily seen – where’s Robin Hood to take on the Sheriff of Nottingham? Yours sincerely, Tyler Tricarico Shepparton

YOUR OPINIONS HAVE BEEN HEARD Dear Editor, The recent debate about the Maude Street Mall has resulted in two people writing to The Adviser complaining that their views relating to allowing traffic through the mall have not been heard. I can assure them that their views have been heard, but then again, so have the different views of many others who have an interest in and ownership of the mall, and that’s just about everyone. Council has to take many opinions and facts into account about the future of the mall in order to come up with an outcome, which they believe has the most overall benefit for the most people. In 2014, extensive consultation with the community was undertaken and a council decision made, which was to activate and improve the mall, not to open it to traffic. The facts showed that the worst value for ratepayers dollars was opening up the mall and that the pedestrian focus was one which is valued. We will be able to have better outcomes and understandings as a community about council decisions on the mall when all residents fully understand that a result, which is different from their position, does not mean their opinion was not taken into account. What it does mean is that their view does not reflect what the wider community wants, nor is it considered to have the best economic, social and environmental benefit. Yours sincerely, Cr Jenny Houlihan Greater Shepparton City Council

GOULBURN MURRAY IRRIGATION DISTRICT WOES Dear Editor, The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) has just contacted the media saying the Commonwealth should keep paying the Victorian Government to dismantle the North Victorian irrigation system, destroying farmers and the system’s viability, because if it doesn’t get the ‘savings’ of 204 GLs by closing down half of the system the MDBA might come back into the market and offer to ‘buy back’ the water. Presumably the VFF is totally captured by the State? Or is it so out of touch? I totally agree with the official Mid Term Review, that the $1B project must be ‘reset’ before any more damage is done. As it says, the Business Case (not available to the public) was based on ‘false assumptions.’ These ‘false assumptions’ or untruths were that farmers really wanted to see their supply channels (half the system) dismantled because so many had been forced to sell their water during the drought. I am insisting that the first objective of the ‘reset’ GMWCP2 project must be that ‘no irrigator is left worse off’ or if mutually agreed, full compensation of short and long term losses are paid to the irrigator. Second the GMID is left ‘improved, efficient and viable.’ Third those who have already been financially damaged through this shocking debacle are fully compensated for their losses. The ‘reset’ project will have to be expertly designed and implemented with every landholder on each spur participating in the outcome. GMW is not competent to do this work. The extra 204 GL that the VFF wants to come off irrigators can come from Melbourne Water’s 75 GL that came out of the system via stage one, (NVIRP) and from the VEWHs bucket. Not a drop more should be taken from Northern Victorian irrigators if productivity, the remaining communities, jobs, and the environment are to be preserved. Yours sincerely, Dr Sharman Stone Federal Member for Murray

EVERYONE SHOULD PAY THE 10 PERCENT Dear Editor, Before the GST is raised to 15 percent, how about you get everyone to pay the 10 percent. It’s a rort. There is potentially billions of dollars not being collected. Ironically those dodging the GST now will be better off under when they don’t pay the 15 percent. Maybe it’s easier to raise the GST than upset voters. Yours sincerely, Yours sincerely, Terry Court Tatura Want to have your say?

By David Lee MOR E t ha n 150 memb ers of t he concerned Dookie community came together on Monday night at the Dookie Community Centre, to voice their desire to see the Draft Resource Recovery Precinct Feasibility and Site Selection Study proposed sites at Dookie scrapped. Concerns were voiced to Greater Shepparton City Council CEO, Peter Harriott, Mayor, Dinny Adem and Cr Jenny Houlihan who were in attendance. Re sident , G aye Sut herla nd sa id , “There are many issues we have with the proposals as part of the draft study. “The site matrix values used in the study to determine preferred sites are fundamentally flawed and need to be revisited. “Minimum buffer distance applied in the study does not consider the composting of organic and biological wastes. “No consideration has been given to aesthetic impact on tourism. “There is a lack of consideration given to impacts of increased traffic. “There is a high value of agricultural land around Dookie that was considered to have lower value than irrigated land. “The study did not consider Daldy Road in the site selection matrix despite the fact that this site clearly meets many of the required criteria. “Members of the forum put forward three motions to the group representing council, which have been overwhelmingly supported by the Dookie community. Firstly, that the Dookie and District Development Forum reject the values in the site assessment matrix on the basis that the values are incorrect. Secondly, that that the same matrix be applied to Daldy Road to compare scores with the six sites identified in the study, regardless of corporate risk to Goulburn Valley Water (GVW). The same compulsory acquisition laws should apply to GVW. The Resource Recovery Precinct should stay in the area already zoned for that purpose, rather than rezoning valuable agricultural land. “Thirdly, is that the Dookie and District Development Forum reject all sites put forward in the site selection matrix. “The message from the community was clear – a Resource Recovery Precinct is not wanted in their rural landscape. Members of the community not present at the meeting are urged to voice their concerns via a submission to Greater Shepparton City Council.” Members of the public are invited to make a submission to Greater Shepparton City Council regarding the contents of the draft study before Monday, February 15.

They can also choose from several allocated inspection times, offering more flexibility and choice,” Professionals senior property manager, Jodie Garner said. “It’s a fully automated, interactive process and we are the only real estate in Shepparton using this particular software. “The system also offers many advantages for the landlord, generating weekly financial reports, as well as activity reports, which indicate the number of people looking at the property. To date, the feedback from our landlords has been very positive and encouraging.”

Youth project kicks into full gear By David Lee IT’S been a three year battle, but the unique youth supporting KAR Shed project opened its doors for its inaugural session on Friday last week. The project, which will be initially opened on Thursdays and Fridays from 9am to 3:30pm and run from DECA, will provide a space for the region’s youth to take part in skill building activities including learning about basic tools, small engines, bike maintenance, how to fix a flat tyre, fixing lawn mowers, basic welding, car engines, forklift driving, servicing a motorbike, basic soldering, as well as a range of other activities such as wood work, fishing and billy kart challenges to name a few. KAR Shed Committee President, Heather Halsall said, “The project is all about exposing the kids to things they’ve never had a chance to experience and engaging them in something that is useful. “At the moment we are open to schools and community youth organisations and encourage them to make contact. “We currently have a couple of motorbikes and three cars that we are letting them work on. The idea is to teach the kids the skills to

do the cars up and then we can sell them to gain funding to help sustain the project. “I am passionate about the kids and about teaching them principles, morals and respect. “We are seeking continued funding, which would allow the doors to be open on other

days meaning it would be open for all of the community to come and enjoy.” For further information or to book your school or youth community group in for sessions, contact Heather Halsall on (03) 5821 4257.

THERE can be no denying that Shepparton Radiators and Windscreen owner, Scott Campbell is enthusiastic about what he does. “As our name suggests, we have two areas of specialisation. For windscreens, we do replacements and repairs to all glasses, including door glasses, cargo glasses and rears. Trucks and tractors also form a large part of our trade. “With radiators, we do recores, repairs and clean outs, as well as supplying new components. Again, we cover trucks, tractors, fork lifts, lawn mowers and motorbikes.” Shepparton Radiators and Windscreen has a large range of windscreens in stock, so the team can deal with most emergencies on the

spot. “We’ll get you back on the road sooner is our motto,” Scott said. “There are many advantages to dealing with a local business such as ours, one of which is that you’ll get a personalised and better value service than talking to someone in a call centre. “We have qualified fitters here and you’ll be dealing directly with the specialists. “Of course the other advantage is that the money circulates within the town and we are able to provide jobs to locals.” To meet the man behind the enthusiasm, drop in to Shepparton Radiators and Windscreen, 80 06 Melbou rne Road, Shepparton or phone 5823 1590.

Safety concerns build over crumbling roads

“… a catastrophe waiting to happen”

ROADS IN SHAMBLES… Locals are concerned about the state of the roads in Shepparton, with sites such as the one pictured on Doyles Road, having reportedly been repaired in January, but still seems to pose a risk to cyclists. Photo: Emma Hillier.

“MY bike is my only mode of transportation. “On Doyles Road just before New Dookie Road, where the bike path (shoulder) finishes as you approach the roundabout, there is a section of the shoulder where there has been a repair carried out that is simply dangerous. “Also, across the road of 399 Wyndham Street (out the front of Primary Care Connect) there has been another repair done that is 80mm high at the peak of the mound. This site is a part of the road that a cyclist would use during peak period. “The 399 Wyndham Street repair was done in a cavalier manner, lacking foresight and above all safety to vulnerable cyclists. Repairs done at both Wyndham Street and Doyles Road culminate to an extreme degree of culpability of the incompetent managers, supervisors and workers and are both a catastrophe waiting to happen. “I informed council and VicRoads of the damaged roads in early November 2015 and still, nothing has been done at these two sites.” A council spokesperson told The Adviser that if someone has a complaint about a council managed road they need to report that to council. “Our customer service staff need details of the exact location and contact details from the person lodging the complaint. Following a complaint, the issue will be looked at within one working day. “If the issue is a traffic or pedestrian hazard it will be screened off and signposted until it can be repaired. The repair work will be done as soon as possible but will depend on the situation, such as how busy the road is, how urgent the need is etc. Once the work is complete the person who lodged the complaint will be notified. “If the road is managed by VicRoads, council will advise VicRoads directly and the matter is dealt with by them. They do not report back to us. “Council maintains a pro-active inspection schedule of all roads and prioritises any

maintenance into a work schedule.” A VicRoads spokesperson told The Adviser that the North Eastern Maintenance Alliance (NEMA) had carried out repair works on both the Wyndham Street and Doyles Road locations, however upon inspection The Adviser revealed that there is still a large bump in the bitumen at the Wyndham Street site and the Doyles Road site does not look appear to be in any better condition. “VicRoads undertakes scheduled hazard inspections of its arterial roads pursuant to the Road Management Act 2004 and VicRoads’ Road Management Plan. The Midland Highway and Goulburn Valley Highway are specifically inspected for hazards weekly. All other arterial roads are inspected fortnightly. VicRoads has a patrol based in Shepparton so most roads have ‘unofficial’ inspections daily as the patrols go about their normal duties. “VicRoads has engaged the N EM A to undertake repairs in VicRoads’ area of operational responsibility, in a contract arrangement between VicRoads and Downer EDI Australia. “VicRoads bears the cost of repairs on its roads in its areas of operational responsibility (the Arterial Road Network). “When informed of road damage on its roads the NEMA is notified and the site is inspected and appropriate action taken. Hazards are repaired pursuant to the timeframes specified in VicRoads’ Road Management Plan. Other non-hazardous issues are recorded and programmed for repair. “With regards to the Wyndham Street site, we had this reported to us in November 2015 and the NEMA repaired the site. “With the Doyles Road site, these bumps were cut off, sealed and signed off by NEMA and recorded for future stabilisation works. The complainant was advised at the end of January that the repairs have been completed.”

Valentine’s Day 14 FEB

Tips for the perfect Valentine’s Day If you truly love someone, use this day as an excuse to express that feeling. Anything, even a simple hug or an “I love you” can go a long way. Don’t let the stress of the day get to you. Don’t over think gifts or plans. Do what comes naturally in your relationship with your loved one while actually taking the time to show and celebrate your love on this day.

Making something shows more thought and affection. Anyone can go out and buy something, but to actually put your own time and effort into making something, or setting up a marvellous date, shows serious commitment.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to show your love and affection.

You don’t need grand gestures to make Valentine’s Day truly special. Simply going out of your way to do something nice or thoughtful can make a huge difference.

Be conscious of when Valentine’s Day falls. You really only get one shot at making sure your cards, flowers or other gifts arrive for your loved ones on February 14. Nothing is worse than a belated Valentine’s Day gift. Plan ahead, and plan accordingly.

Make this day about your loved one. Do the things they like to do, or that you know they’ll respond well to. Remember to always keep their feelings and tastes in mind. Knowing these details and accommodating to them will make for a truly special Valentine’s Day they will always cherish.

If you don’t wish to give a gift, give love instead. After all, it’s what matters the most. Give the person a hug and a kiss and say “I love you a lot. Thank you for everything!

If you don’t feel like doing too much or spending a fortune this Valentine’s Day think of something super simple. Rent a favourite movie, invite your friends and family over for a dinner, make some homemade cards with special messages on them. Store bought cards make it seem like you hadn’t put much thought into it. Remember, Valentine’s Day is about love.

Decorating with cut-out hearts or rose petals is a quick, easy way to show someone you care without having to put too much time or money into the sentiment.

Your Valentine’s Day

past and present

WITH Valentine’s Day just around the corner, The Adviser asked some locals what it is they are hoping to enjoy, or have previously enjoyed on the day of love. “I’d love to be surprised with a dinner date, without me having to organise a babysitter or anything ... some good quality time together, alone would be a great start … followed by some nice jewellery, like diamond earrings! LOL. Is that a little far fetched?” Rosemary Turner

“Came home from work to (table decorations) one year followed by a lovely home cooked meal … and this (pictured right) was my attempt at a man bouquet one year.” Hollie Purton

Treatment times poor continued from front page W H ILE 7,397 patients were treated at GV Health’s emergency department in the October-December 2015 quarter, the statistics reveal that only one in two had been treated within an acceptable time frame. Comparing Shepparton’s figures with other regional cities such as Bendigo, which saw 68 percent of patients treated in acceptable time frames in the October-December 2014 quarter only dropping to 66 percent for the same period in 2015, the statistics show that GV Health’s emergency department is the worst-performing in Victoria. Echuca saw a 90 percent rate of patients seen in an acceptable time frame in the October-December 2014 quarter, dropping to 84 percent in the same period for 2015. Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell said, “The number of patients being treated at the Shepparton campus has remained basically static since the April-June 2015 quarter, however the number of patients presenting

Manage those post-Christmas debts

GET HELP FROM A CUSTOMER OWNED BANK… Goulburn Murray Credit Union general manager, René Deen and board chair, Geoff Cobbledick are available to help with post Christmas credit card management. Photo: Emma Hillier.

CHRISTMAS is a time of joy and giving, but for a lot of residents across the Goulburn Valley, the start of the year marks the arrival of postChristmas credit card statements and the reality of paying for the season’s spending. GMCU general manager, René Deen advised, “It is important to try and get on top of your Christmas spending quickly, or you might still be paying it off when next Christmas rolls around. “It is also important to look at the interest rate you are paying. Credit card rates can be very high.” Mr Deen recommends consolidating your credit card debt to a lower rate loan. “Making a redraw on your home loan or

starting a personal loan to repay your credit card could reduce your interest costs to a fraction. “Add that to the discipline of making regular repayments and the average person could save thousands.” “GMCU members are often amazed at how quickly they can repay a credit card when it is transferred to a lower rate loan with a regular repayment.” To find out more about debt consolidation or the benefits of banking with the GMCU, pop into one of the conveniently located branches throughout central Victoria. GMCU branches are located in Shepparton, Seymour, Mooroopna, Numurkah, Kyabram, Kilmore, Benalla, Euroa and Echuca.
