“It is only a matter of time before there is an accident that will be regretted”

Drivers nabbed speeding after concerns raised By David Lee SPEEDING has long been an issue on our roads, but there is one local resident who is fed up with the reckless behaviour of some drivers along Channel Road. After urging local police to do something about it, Bryan Mitchell of Lifestyle Communities Shepparton, is now looking to VicRoads to make changes to the speed limit in the area.

Responding to Bryan’s concerns, the Shepparton Police Highway Patrol have been out to the stretch of road between Archer Street and Doyles Road two to three times a week since December, nabbing a number of speeding drivers in the area. VicRoads have also stated that they would be looking into a possible speed limit change in the future. Continued on page 18

By David Lee “IT’S a big step forward for Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation and I mean big,” Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation CEO, Allan Turner said during the launch of the Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation truck curtain billboard last week. The Hicks Transport Group truck, which has been fitted with a curtain containing the all-important message of organ and tissue donation through Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation, was brought about thanks to a $5,000 donation from Fairleys SUPA IGA Community Fund Grants program and a discounted cost passed on for the curtain. Allan said, “We are very proud to have Hicks’ and IGA on board and offering their support.

“This is unique and a first of its kind in the way of promoting organ and tissue donation. You can’t miss it. “This truck will travel over 200,000km per year, which when you add up the number of eyes that will see this truck per day, would run into the thousands and then into millions of eyes per year.” Fairleys SUPA IGA General Manager, Craig Bramley said, “IGA is very supportive in all aspects of Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation and have been involved with them many times in the past. “Organ and tissue donation is an important topic to draw attention to and this truck is a great way for that to be done.” For more information, contact Allan Turner on 0412 985 211 or email allan@zaidee.org

Dealerships awarded for excellence

$6,000 to support local kids KIDS in the GV Health Children’s Ward have benefited from a $6,000 donation from Telstra, with the funding being used to purchase four new iPads and part of it planned to go toward a sensory wall, which will be installed soon. The donation was made as part of the Telstra Kids Fund, the Telstra Foundation’s $1M per year commitment to caring in local communities. Telstra Country Wide Area Northern Victoria and Sunraysia general manager, Steve Tinker said the Telstra Kids Fund grants are about backing the little things that can make a big difference. “All around Australia, kids are building

on ideas, playing in a team, making music and creating art. But sometimes little projects, like the GV Health Kids Music and tactile wall, need a bit of a hand to get started. “That’s why each year, the Telstra Kids Fund provides $1M in grants, on behalf of Telstra employees, for projects that help our kids play and learn.” G V H e a lt h Fou nd at io n d i r e c to r, Carmel Johnson said, “We are incredibly appreciative for this support. “GV Health and Telstra have always had a generous partnership and this is a further example of the continuous support given to GV Health by the community.”

DOUBLE DEALERSHIP AWARD… Local BMW dealer principal, Aaron Brain was pleased that the Shepparton BMW dealership was awarded Rural Dealer of the Year and the Shepparton Renault dealership was awarded the Managing Directors Award recently. Photo: Emma Hillier.

By David Lee LOCAL BMW dealer principal, Aaron Brain says that it is because of customers that both the BMW and Renault dealerships were recently awarded during special presentations in Sydney. At a presentation at the Sydney Oprah House, the Shepparton BMW dealership went up against 15 other rural dealers from across Australia, but came out on top to be awarded Rural Dealer of the Year. The local Shepparton Renault dealership also received recognition, recently taking out the Managing Directors Award and being the first dealership to ever win the award in their first year of operation. Aaron said, “The BMW award’s criteria

had a focus on customer satisfaction in sales and service, and we needed to have reached our new car sales target of 100 percent, which we beat by 19 percent. We make sure we are community-minded and that our customers are number one. We are a family owned business and when you join BMW, you become a part of the family. “ T he R e n au lt awa rd i s g ive n to dealerships for general excellence across all areas of the business. We hold the highest in Australia customer satisfaction for service and sales and on top of that we reached 38 percent above our new car sales target, which is a great result from a new car sales perspective in just our first year of operation.”

By David Lee BEING named the winner in one category of the Baking Association of Australia’s annual baking show is a feat all on its own, but at the weekend, Fairleys SUPA IGA came away with eight trophies. As the third year entering the competition, the supermarket’s bakery walked away with two first place awards for their 680g White Loaf Condensed Square in Class 1 and Class 19 as well as first place awards in their Class 2 450g White Vienna Baked, Class 6 680g Wholemeal Loaf Upright and Class 18 450g 3 Strand Plait.

Fairleys SUPA IGA bakery manager, Jarrod Taylor said, “This is the first time any of us have been involved with the baking show before, so it is a pretty big achievement. “The awards to hang our hat on though would have to be our white loaves, which took away two firsts.

Victorians Deserve More

Dear Editor, As each month passes, I find more and more examples of country Victorians being treated like second-class citizens by the Andrews Labor Government. An obvious one is the V/Line crisis. It seems every day we wake to news that something else has gone wrong with our regional train network, but all we get from the government are excuses. Commuters are fed up – they just want this mess fixed. Then there are our deteriorating ambulance response times, which have blown out across many parts of rural and regional Victoria under the Andrews Labor Government. Code 1 response times have reached around 29 minutes in some country areas – almost double the government’s target of 15 minutes. Before the election, Daniel Andrews promised he would “improve response times” and give paramedics “the resources they need.” Country paramedics and ambulance community officers are working exceptionally hard and doing their best, but since the election the premier has forgotten all about them and his promises. A not her Da n iel A nd rews prom ise was f re e kindergarten to all families within 10 drought-stricken areas. But he’s been caught out on that too. It was revealed recently that parents were being told they’d be means-tested and must meet eligibility criteria before getting free kinder. The coalition had to shame Daniel Andrews on the floor of parliament to get him to keep his promise, and make kinder free again for all these families. Compared to Labor’s union mates, country Victorians don’t ask for much, but they deserve a hell of a lot more than they’re getting from the Andrews Labor Government. Yours sincerely, Peter Walsh Leader of The Nationals

Tell Our PM About Flawed Plan

Dear Editor, A letter writing campaign to highlight the flaws in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan and its impact on regional communities kicked off in Shepparton recently. Flyers were distributed outside the 2016 Australian Dairy Conference, encouraging affected businesses and individuals to write to Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. The first stage of the letter writing campaign is being coordinated by Goulburn Valley Irrigators and Communities (GVIC), and it will continue through other organisations including the NSW Murray-based Speak Up group. GVIC spokesperson, Loretta Warren has said that

Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull needs to be made aware of the damage to regional communities being unnecessarily caused by a basin plan that has failed to achieve balance between the needs of people, economies and the environment. Handing out flyers at the dairy conference was the first step and there will be ongoing efforts to encourage and assist people to join the letter writing campaign. Offers of assistance with distributing flyers in other communities are also appreciated. Email waterissues4@gmail.com if you can help. There will also be workshops to assist anyone who needs help to write a letter. Writing letters to the prime minister is part of an overall campaign to convince the Federal Government that changes to the basin plan are essential. Writers will be encouraged to email letters to Mr Turnbull and copy to waterissues4@gmail.com The campaign aims to culminate with bags containing every letter being personally handed to Mr Turnbull. Yours sincerely, Shelley Scoullar Willum Park Deniliquin

We Have The Right To Whinge

Dear Editor, I am writing in response to Terrance Ashdown’s letter titled ‘Stop the whinging’ which appeared in The Adviser on February 17. I must ask, what planet do you live on? Sir, ratepayers and drivers have the right to as you put it whinge about the state of the roads as they pay millions of their dollars in rates and registrations for the upkeep of the roads and expect some action in return. Maybe you have a front end centre and do all the alignment and mechanical repairs that need to be carried out from smashing through the pot holes and nasty ruts that don’t want to be fixed by council. For you to state to stop whinging and appreciate the roads that lay there for our luxurious convenience, remember what I said, these whingers pay millions of dollars yearly to access these roadways and they have the right to whinge. They don’t want the ‘autobahn’ as in Europe, they just want good safe roads to drive on. Glad I don’t ride a push bike on the local roads as I would need a seat belt to keep me on it. Also, your bit about DIY and get over it, that is the same attitude that comes out of the Shepparton council office when someone complains. Yours sincerely, Bob Dickson Shepparton Want to have your say? Email your letters to the Editor to editorial@sheppartonadviser.com.au. Max 100 words

for small business THE government’s first Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman has been appointed and is set to be of great help to the small businesses in the Murray electorate. The Federal Government appointed Kate Carnell AO to the new role of the Small Business Ombudsman, who will provide small businesses in Murray access to advice and support, and will be an independent advocate to make sure the Federal Government creates the right conditions for small businesses to grow. Ms Carnell will commence the new role on March 11 for a five year period. Federal Member for Murray, Dr Sharman Stone said, “In 2013 the Murray electorate had more than 15,000 small businesses who could benefit from the new ombudsman. “The ombudsman is an independent body with real powers to act as a commonwealth advocate for small businesses and family enterprises; assisting with dispute resolution to allow businesses to resolve disputes without resorting to costly litigation; and a contributor to the development of small business commonwealth laws and regulations. “Ms Carnell has extensive experience and will be a great ombudsman for small business. Ms Carnell, who ran her own small businesses for 15 years before becoming ACT Chief Minister, is well-positioned to voice the concerns of Australian businesses and family enterprises to help create targeted policy messages for the Federal Government.”

Antiques and collectables coming to Shepparton IMPRESSIVE SHOWCASE OF ANTIQUES… Antique dealers from all across the country will converge on Shepparton for the 34th annual Shepparton Antiques Fair from its new location at St Augustine’s Church Hall. Photo: Supplied

THE Shepparton Antiques Fair is on again in 2016, with a host of new professional dealers as well as your old favourites. Friday, March 5 and Saturday, March 6 will see St Augustine’s Church hall transformed into an impressive showcase of antiques, when dealers from all around the country combine for the 35th Annual Shepparton Antiques Fair. Organised by antiques dealer, Mick Dalton, this fair is a great draw-card for collectors, both serious and novice alike. “Traditionally the aim of a fair is to cater for all tastes and incomes, from the smallest thimble to a grand Victorian chest,” Mick said. “Prices are competitive and the range of items for sale is enormous, enabling customers to view many different dealers all together under one roof. Dealers exhibiting at the fair also buy antiques during the fair.” Georgian and Victorian jewellery, English

and European porcelain, silver, glass, linen, clocks, lamps, collectables and furniture, both rustic and traditional, will be displayed with great care and pride, the dealers themselves endeavouring to supply as much information as possible to help the collector. The Shepparton Antiques Fair is also a fundraiser for St. Augustine’s who will be providing delicious light lunches and morning and afternoon teas throughout the fair. The Shepparton Antiques Fair is open to the public from 10am until 5pm on Saturday and from 10am until 4pm on Sunday. Admission is $9 for adults and includes a lucky door prize ticket. Accompanied children are free. St Augustine’s Church Hall is situated in Orr Street Shepparton (off Knight Street) behind the Anglican Church in Maude Street. For further information, contact Mick Dalton on 0428 446 534.

Victorian ICE initiative set to sweep the nation ICE stricken communities across the country are being targeted in Crime Stoppers’ latest Dob in a Dealer campaign. A $1M Federal Government commitment to roll out Dob in a Dealer across Australia comes on the back of strong results from the Crime Stoppers Victoria initiative that was run across regional and rural Victoria in 2015. Crime Stoppers Victoria experienced an increase of over 150 percent in illicit drugs and ICE reports throughout the 2015 campaign, in addition to the more than 60,000 Victorians who used the confidential community service last year. Crime Stoppers Victoria CEO, Samantha Hunter said, “In 2015, we visited 15 regional and rural towns with the Dob in a Dealer campaign. “We know there are communities out there

struggling with ICE, and it’s the members of those communities who hold the key to helping stop the devastation that ICE wreaks on families and individuals. “It’s encouraging to see that our initiative here in Victoria has gained national recognition. “Any piece of information, no matter how small, can assist police in identifying who is manufacturing or dealing in ICE in your community. “People often know who the dealers are in their local area, but they should also be on the look-out for suspicious activity, such as high volumes of people visiting one residence. “If you see something, say something.” Reports can be made on-the-go via the Crime Stoppers Victoria smartphone app or online at www.crimestoppers.com.au

Doubling points for schools promotion FA I R LEYS SU PA IGA Shepparton is doubling the value of all points donated to local schools during the month of March 2016, ensuring a great result for the schools and pre-schools involved in the Fairleys SUPA IGA Community Rewards Program. “Since the program began approximately three years ago, thanks to the support of the local community, Fairleys ‘has contributed over $20,000 to local schools. This cash has enabled many projects to be completed that otherwise would not have been possible,” Fairleys SUPA IGA marketing manager, John Markham said. The double points campaign is a way for Fairleys’ to boost the support given to schools throughout March, and help schools expand their fundraising footprint amongst the thousands of Fairleys’ shoppers

that donate their shopping points to the community. “This will mean that for every customer who pledges to donate their points for the whole month, we will convert their shopping points to cash and double it. “For every $100 spent by these customers, we will donate $2 to their preferred school. “We ask customers to get in early and change their donation status to support one of our participating schools before the beginning of March to help in this important promotion and join with the hundreds of locals who have already pledged their support.” To get involved, visit Fairleys SUPA IGA Shepparton at 177-193 Numurkah Road, Shepparton or phone 5822 1555.

Women sought for zinc and iron study DEAKIN University’s Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research (C-PAN) is seeking Victorian women aged 16 years and over to be part of a new study to find out the impact of iron and zinc on women’s mood, feelings of fatigue and ability to concentrate. The Women’s Iron, Zinc and Energy (WIZE) study sets out to measure both iron and zinc levels in women and find out what factors prevent iron and zinc absorption in pre-menopausal Australian women. C-PAN associate professor, Lynn Riddell said that many pre-menopausal women are at risk of iron deficiency and one in five women were also at risk of not consuming enough zinc to meet their dietary needs. “30 percent of women have depleted iron stores and 12 percent have low zinc stores

and boosting the intake of these nutrients is needed to ensure optimal health. “It is our hope that the WIZE study will help us get a picture of the relationship between iron and zinc status and mood, fatigue, depression and memor y. We then aim to develop dietary and lifestyle advice that women can sustain across their lifespan to help them maintain their health and wellbeing through diets that support optimal iron and zinc nutrition.” Participation will involve completing a questionnaire on diet, physical activity, sleep, medical history, height and weight measurements and require a fasting blood test. If you are interested, please call project manager, Manuela Rigo on (03) 9244 6380 or visit http://wizestudy.weebly.com or find ‘wizestudy’ on Facebook.

Drivers nabbed speeding after concerns raised THE ADVISER witnessed first-hand the work that the Shepparton Police Highway Patrol are doing to help stem the speeding i s s u e o n C h a n n e l Ro ad , ob s e r v i n g Shepparton Police Highway Patrol, Leading Senior Constable Richard Ivory nabbing a speeding driver during an interview carried out along Channel Road last week. Bryan said, “This area of Shepparton is expanding and I just question what has been done with regard to infrastructure looking toward the future. “Lifestyle Communities will be finished by mid next year if not earlier, with an estimated 260 vehicles coming in and out of there, and that’s not taking into account Kensington Gardens across the road. “There are also two new and developing housing estates just down the road. “This area has gone from being agriculture to residential fairly quickly and it simply doesn’t make sense to have a portion of the road at 60km/h, which then becomes 80km/h just after the roundabout. There has been a black spot sign erected, but the speed limit has been left at 80km/h. “For the amount of traffic the road is taking, it needs upgrading to accommodate for that as well and I urge VicRoads and Greater Shepparton City Council to look into this. “Sitting outside on a Friday and Saturday night, you can hear drivers tearing down the road. “The black and white barricades outside

Lifestyle Communities have been taken out by cars in the last four months. One of the cars appears to have mounted the roundabout on the wrong side as you can see the sign was hit from behind.

“I personally witnessed a black Audi that went through the roundabout, at what I would estimate was 100km/h. I watched in awe and then got the finger for my trouble. “Channel Road between Archer Street and

Doyles Road, for the most part, is now in a residential area. With the excessive speeds undertaken by many drivers it is only a matter of time before there is an accident that will be regretted.” Sheppa r ton Police H ig hway Pat rol, Leading Senior Constable Richard Ivory said, “Initially we had marked police vehicles parked along Channel Road between Archer Street and the roundabout to provide a strong visual presence. “As time went by police were more selective, concealing marked and unmarked police vehicles at the Archer Street end of Channel Road. We have not recorded specific stats for this section of road although the results were consistent with other commonly patrolled roads in the Shepparton area and most drivers caught were for minor speed offences. “Police will continue to enforce the 60km /h speed zone and those over the speed limit will be issued with infringement notices.” VicRoads acting regional director, Nathan Mullane said, “The Greater Shepparton City Council approached VicRoads a couple of months ago regarding a speed limit change and at the time it wasn’t supported due to the lack of direct access to Channel Road i.e. single driveways onto Channel Road. “VicRoads will be happy to review suitable speed limits once the new developments are in place and until then drivers are reminded to drive to the conditions.”

From Alaska to Hawaii Clockwise from top left: MAGNIFICENT SUNSETS… Dot and Adrian just loved Hawaii. The sunsets were magnificent as they island hopped visiting the various attractions. SPECTACULAR SIGHTS… In Seattle, Dot and Adrian visited the Chihuly Glass Museum. FROM COLD TO HOT… Adrian and Dot had to take warm clothes for Canada and pack light for Hawaii. They certainly needed to rug up for the snow. WORLD OF COLOUR… The Butchart Gardens on Victoria Island in Canada have become popular with tourists from around the world. Originally a cement quarry it now holds a world of colour. SNOWY MOUNTAINS… Arriving in Banff, the weather changed draping the mountains in a blanket of snow.

IT was a holiday they had always wanted to do, even if it meant packing clothes for the cold of Alaska and the heat of Hawaii. But Adrian and Dot Sumner of Shepparton, managed to fit it all in as they flew to the capital of British Columbia, Victoria Island in Canada. They had four days there, time enough to explore and go whale watching. At first they were to chase the whales in a zodiac but as the weather closed in they swapped to a covered boat and just as well because it poured down, but that didn’t stop the whales from putting on a great display. It was a pod of about 20 Orca or killer whales and Adrian and Dot managed to get right up close as the whales leapt from the water. Back on Victoria Island, they headed to the Butchart Gardens. This time the weather was with them as they strolled through the ma ny dif fe re nt t y pe s of gardens. The Butchar t Gardens was originally a cement quarry. At the end of its days Mrs Butchart took over and with lots of help, transformed the quarry into a worldrenowned tourist attraction. Next, Adrian and Dot took the ferry to Vancouver from where they hired a car and set off on a self-drive tour of the Rocky Mountains. Their first stop was at Whistler, the famous ski resort, but it was Summer and the mountain bikes had taken over. From there, they went on to Kamloops and then on to Jasper with its famous national park. The weather stayed with them and the scenery was just spectacular. To add to the beauty of the mountains, as they arrived at Banff it was snowing, draping the mountain in a cloak of white. Adrian and Dot decided to leave the mountains and drive to Seattle in America. They saw the space needle, the spectacular Chihuly Glass Museum and then onto the Boeing plant. Cameras are banned and not even a mobile phone can be taken on the tour, but you get to see the massive planes being assembled. An incredible sight. Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1292 Wednesday, March 2, 2016

It was then back to Vancouver to join their cruise ship to sail the inside passage of Alaska. They were on the Holland America Oosterdam and what a wonderful ship. Dot says the atmosphere was great, the food was excellent and the entertainment was also excellent. They were there for seven days and nights. They cruised Glacier Bay and watched as slabs of ice carved from the face of the glacier fell into the bay. The weather was perfect but it was cold and those extra warm clothes came in handy on deck and ashore. They saw lots of whales while sailing and at Skagway they took the Yukon White Pass Railway trip up over the mountains as the old miners of yesteryear did. It’s a climb of over 914m with breathtaking views along the way. At Juneau, they took a helicopter flight up onto the Mendenhall Glacier and went on a guided walk along the top of the ancient glacier, and as Adrian says with global warming the glaciers seem to be melting fast. At Ketchikan they took part in a wildlife adventure visiting Herring Cove to see the black bears as they fed on salmon from a stream. Their ship now sailed back to Vancouver from where they caught a flight to Hawaii. Dot says it was like fire and ice, one day you are rugged up for Alaska next you are in Hawaii and it was hot. They were there for four days and decided to island hop by plane. They visited active volcanoes issuing a trail of smoke, went on guided tours, saw the Arizona Memorial and the battleship Missouri. They also saw manta rays and took a helicopter flight over the Waimea Canyon, which is said to rival the Grand Canyon. It had been a busy few weeks fitting it all in but Adrian and Dot just loved their time on tour, however, all good things must come to an end. Now back in Shepparton, they have some great memories and some incredible photos. Adrian and Dot would like to thank L auren from Lyn McNaught Travel in

Mooroopna for arranging everything. Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance

SNAPSHOTS OF SHEPPARTON’S PAST

Snapshots of Shepparton’s past SHEPPARTON has been a thriving community for more than 155 years, and throughout that time many people and events have helped to shape the township into the community that it is today. With the help of former local, Marlene Kuhn, the team at Lost Shepparton and the wider community, The Adviser has decided to share some of those moments in time with you through a series of photographs. If you have an old photograph of a local event or moment in time that you would love to see published, feel free to email the image to editorial@sheppartonadviser.com.au CALAMITY FOR SHEPPARTON… It’s not widely known that a huge fire within a mile of the old post office in Wyndham Street set Shepparton back on its heels in 1919. Shepparton Freezing Works was one of the major employers in Shepparton, with an extensive factory for processing meat products. The company had been established in 1914 south-west of the railway line off Wyndham Street, initially for freezing processed lambs for export, though at periods during the company’s history, rabbits were also frozen. On a Wednesday in March 1919, a fire started in the vicinity of the freezing chamber in the early morning, thought to be the fusing of electrical wires, and spread out to completely consume the killing and freezing facilities, which can be seen in the photo on the bottom right. It is reported that just under 80,000 carcasses of mutton and lamb were destroyed. Such was the extent of the fire, it burnt for a month, while the recovery and boiling down of meat lasted for 10 days. One can only imagine the noise and smoke and smell lingering over the town, which can be seen in the top left. Fighting the fire was very difficult – the works were outside the town water area and there was a small dam to draw from on the premises, which can be seen in the photo on the bottom left. Fire brigade reports show that the manual engines of the Shepparton and Mooroopna brigades were used, and the assistance of the townspeople including ladies, in working the manual pumps was very favourable, which can be seen in the photo on the top right. The final cost of the fire approached 100,000 pounds, the equivalent in today’s dollars of $7.5M. The Freezing Works were insured and the payout was received even before the fire was extinguished. A new factory was erected in 1920, operating until 1922 when the company had financial difficulties. It reopened in 1928, but that’s a whole new story. Photos; Shepparton Family History Group.

THE stunning Cruden Farm property located in Langwarrin will open its gates to the public once again, for the annual International Women’s Day Garden Party Luncheon. The luncheon to be held on Thursday March 10, will raise funds for ongoing research on Cystic Fibrosis. Former Shepparton resident and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Australia ambassador, Teresa Carlson said, “The objective of this wonderful event is to raise awareness and really get the message out there.” Teresa’s daughter, Michelle sadly lost her battle with Cystic Fibrosis back in 1993 at the age of seventeen. Michelle’s passing has been the catalyst for Teresa’s efforts to assist in finding a cure for CF. “I can’t bring Michelle back, but I can help by working towards a cure for others suffering with the disease,” Teresa said. This year’s event will be a fully catered, garden party luncheon with special guest

speakers Dr Sandra Cabot, award winning author of The Liver Cleansing Diet and medical and executive director of the Australian Women’s Health Advisory Service. Tickets to the event are $139 per person inclusive of all food, wine and other beverages. Bus services will be running from Shepparton and surrounds offering transport to and from the event for just $25 per person return. Teresa said, “We welcome anyone to attend this fantastic event. We are expecting crowds of approximately 300 people again this year and tickets usually sell very quickly, so I encourage any interested members of the community to get in early.” The Garden Party Luncheon event will be held on Thursday, March 10, 2016 at Cruden Farm, the property of the late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch AC DBE. To book tickets and for all other enquiries, contact Teresa Carlson on 0407 433 321 or Suzanne Murphy on 0419 003 095.

Selva takes second after two year break By David Lee AFTER taking a break for two years, local resident, Anthony Selva recently took to the drag racing track for Perth’s Motorplex Coates Hire West Coast Nitro race, placing second and securing his spot in the Nitro Max this weekend. Receiving a time of just 7.68 seconds after having burned down the track at a top speed of 286.5km/h, Anthony’s 1995 Camaro last backed up to the starting line in 2012 after his brother, Danny, first built the motor. Anthony said, “I have been drag racing

for many years and am grateful to be able to race the Camaro, owned by Frank Salvo. “With the car having sat there for four years, it was great to be able to hit the track with my brother, Danny, some mates, my partner, Renata Jochova and Frank, who was glad to see it running again. “The team and I are looking forward to racing at the next Nitro Max which will take place at the Perth Motorplex on March 5 and 6. “ Yo u c a n w a t c h u s l i v e a t http://400thunder.5stream.com for as little as $5.”

RALLYING FOR A WIN… Local businessman, Alan Roe took out first place in the Mt Baw Baw Sprint, which is the first round of the 2016 Australian Tarmac Rally Championship. Photos: Supplied.

continued from front page WITH a background in gravel rallying at state and national level, Roe said, “The aim for the weekend was to have fun, go fast and keep the car tidy, so we’re very pleased with the result. “It was a bit of a shakedown for us, to see how we’d go together, but we worked really well in the car and I’m certainly keen to come back and do more of these events. We

really enjoyed it.” The next round in the series is the Lake Mountain Sprint near Marysville in the Yarra Ranges National Park over the weekend of May 28 and 29. Competitors then have to wait until the weekend of September 24 and 25 for their next fix during the Snowy River Sprint at Lakes Entrance, before the 2016 ‘grand final’ during the Great Tarmac Rally near Marysville on December 10 and 11.

Call-out for under 18 footy stars THE Tatura Football Netball Club (TFNC) is in danger of not fielding an Under 18 team for their 2016 season, and has put out a call to locals to register their interest in the club. C lub pre side nt , T i m N i h i l l s a id , “Unfortunately, a number of reasons have contributed to the possibility of not having a team for 2016 including the traditional issue relating to the absence of a secondary school. However the situation has reached the stage where, for the first time in its history, the

TFNC may not be able to put a team on the park. “The TFNC has been one of the most successful GVFL clubs in the last quarter of a century and is testament to the commitment and hard work so richly associated with those who have come before us. The history and pedigree of the TFNC, to say the least, is a proud one. “The reality is that unless Under 18 numbers have significantly improved within two weeks,

the TFNC will be left with no choice but to notify the GVFL that, for the first time in its history, it will be incapable of fielding a team.” Training is on Monday and Wednesday at 6pm at the Tatura Recreation Reserve, Hastie Street, Tatura and all players will be made most welcome. For further information, to register your interest or to pass on referrals, contact Tim Nihill on 0438 314 264 or email to tim.nihill@ gmwater.com.au
