Musically minded treatment

By David Lee MERCY Place residents in Shepparton who suffer from dementia are about to get musically minded treatment, thanks to a donation of 16 mp3 players by Don Field from The Shepparton Club.

Mercy Place lifestyle coordinator, Nicole Raditsas said, “What we are trying to do is implement a music and memory program to

those suffering with dementia.

“The residents will be given mp3 players with a personalised song list from memories and moments throughout their lives. The music helps to trigger memories and makes quite a difference to the residents. They just come alive.

“We’ve already seen the engagement it provides. It’s all about enhancing their quality of life.”

Don Field said, “We got on board because it’s so important to trial these methods and hopefully see less medication needed to treat people with dementia.

“It’s a great idea.

“We will be looking at getting another 16 mp3 players to cater for the numbers of residents with dementia at Mercy Place in Shepparton, who could really utilise this program.”

What’s on the cards for the council budget?

HAVE YOUR SAY… Key ticket items outlined in the Greater Shepparton City Council 2016/2017 draft budget include roads, bridges, funding for the sports precinct, funding for upgrades to Maude Street and continued activation for the Maude Street Mall. Photo: Emma Hillier.

ROADS, bridges, the sports precinct and Maude Street Mall are all key spending items as part of the Greater Shepparton City Council 2016/2017 draft budget, which was adopted during last week’s council meeting.

The budget, which shows a total income of $128.9M and total expense of $118.52M, includes $48.49M of total capital works that, in part, will see $12.86M spent on roads, $10.59M on landfill, $7.92M on recreation, leisure and community facilities and $200,000 on bridge works.

Capital works will also include $2.371M to be spent on the Greater Shepparton Sports Precinct, $566,000 on the Maude Street upgrade and $300,000 on the Maude Street Mall Activation project.

The draft budget proposes a rate increase of 2.5 percent, which is in line with the new Fair Go Rates System, which has capped rates increases by Victorian councils to the forecast movement of 2.5 percent in the Consumer Price Index.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem said, “The councillors and I are pleased to release the proposed Budget 2016/2017 to the community for comment and public submissions.

“This budget builds on our Council Plan 2013-2017 vision which focuses on five key, active and engaged community (social), enhancing the environment (natural), economic prosperity (economic), quality

infrastructure (built) and high performing organisation (leadership and governance).

“The Council Plan 2013-2017 (Year 4), sets out our strategic plan to deliver our vision over the full term of the council. As this is the final year of the current council term, the focus over the next year will be on completion of our current commitments.

“The rate increase is lower than the 4.95 percent projections contained within council’s 2015/2016 Strategic Resource Plan. Council has elected not to apply to the Essential Services Commission (ESC) for a variation in year one of rate capping. Focus has been placed on identifying operational savings and efficiencies to align with the proposed 2.5 percent increase.

“Council has also identified a number of significant and unexpected cost and revenue impacts during the budget process which it has had to fund. These include the withdrawal of indexation from the Commonwealth Government’s financial a s si s t a nc e g ra nt s pro g ra m to lo c a l government ($210,000), a further increase of 3.3 percent in the State Government landfill levy ($54,000), increased costs relating to statutory requirements for power line clearances ($230,000) and higher than inflation labour cost increases of 3.05 percent which are linked to the current Enterprise Agreement ($255,000).”

“Our focus for the next year is to continue

to deliver on the projects and services that make our municipality a great place to live in and respond to the challenges we are currently facing. These projects include the completion of the Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct, the design and construction of Cosgrove 3 landfill and increasing investment in the maintenance of our ageing community and infrastructure assets.

“Borrowings have been supported to fund major long term community infrastructure rather than rates revenue. This draft budget proposes $5.06M in new borrowing, which includes $4.06M to complete the Greater Sheppar ton Regional Spor ts Precinct and $1M to commence the design and investigation works for the proposed new Shepparton Art Museum (SAM).

“The proposed budget was developed through a rigorous process of consultation and review and council endorses it as financially responsible. I encourage you to read the remainder of this document, in conjunction with our revised Council Plan 2013-2017 and I look forward to receiving your submission.”

The budget is now open for community consultation and submissions, as well as a copy of the budget, can be found at g reatersheppa r ton.com.au /cou nci l / consultation/draft-budget-2016-2017

Road safety tribunal abolished LIBERAL candidate for Murray, Duncan McGauchie has welcomed the Turnbull Government’s abolition of the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal that would have destroyed small businesses throughout the Murray electorate.

M r McG auchie said, “Ag ricult u ral communities like Murray depend on reliable, safe and cost effective transport to get their goods to market.

“In fact, almost a quarter of the trucks registered in Victoria are from the Goulburn Valley.

“With the abolition of this small business destroying tribunal, now these hardworking

Page 4 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1300 Wednesday, April 27, 2016

small business owners once again have a future and can continue to carry the load for our local economy,” Mr McGauchie said.

Duncan said that the shabby backroom deal Bill Shorten made with the Transport Workers Union to price owner-drivers out of the market was made at the expense of the agricultural sector and local small businesses.

“Bill Shorten’s tribunal threatened to crush thousands of family run owner-driver businesses,” Mr McGauchie said.

“Small transport operators made their

voice clear that the old remuneration system risked destroying their businesses, without doing anything to improve the safety of the industry.

“The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator will be tasked with prioritising ways in which road safety can be materially improved.

“I support a safer heavy vehicle industry, but clearly the answer is not to put tens of thousands of owner-drivers off the road through a central wage fixing policy,” Mr McGauchie said.

Residents ‘horse’ around

By David Lee TEN residents from Shepparton Villages were horsing around last week, when they had the chance to see a private demonstration at the Shepparton Equestrian Centre.

The display started with Shepparton E quest ria n C ent re ow ner a nd ch ief instructor, Toni Gough bringing out A Spanish Andalusian, Dom, putting on a riding demonstration. The second she brought out was Friesian, Argo. Toni took him through Liberty Training, which

is designed to better educate the horses readying them for riding and shows, but it seemed Argo was more interested in walking over to the mirror hanging on the wall and checking his mane was still in place.

Miniature pony, Shrinky Dinky was the third and final horse to be brought out, and while Toni was attempting to show off the pony’s soccer skills with a giant ball almost bigger than he was, Shrinky Dinky was more interested in running amok to the delight of the elderly residents.

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.

Congratulations On Hospital Funding

Dear Editor, The Andrews Labor Government has once again, shown its genuine commitment to the health and wellbeing of country Victorians announcing $170M injection of funds to the GV Health.

We don’t take for granted any community, or any voter, and have been listening closely and working intensely with this region’s Independent representative, Suzanna Sheed to deliver what the region wants and needs.

The Liberal and National parties, for the many years of their tenure took for granted the people of Shepparton and its surrounds, and squandered the goodwill these voters had shown, assuming instead their entitlement to hold the seat was guaranteed.

Neither, the Andrews Labor Government or myself, as its representatives across Northern Victoria, will ever assume or demand the right to represent this community without first working hard for it, and work hard is what we will continue to do ensuring the people of Shepparton have the infrastructure, services and resources they need to continue to thrive.

Yours sincerely, Jaclyn Symes Member for Northern Victoria

Credit Where It’s Due

Dear Editor, The good news publicity for the sod turning event for the new court complex unfortunately ignored the people responsible for the much needed development.

The facts are quite clear. The Honourable Jeanette Powell, former National Party Member for Shepparton, was alerted to the poor condition of the Shepparton Courthouse about eight years ago by David Faram then a local solicitor.

She lobbied the then Labor State Government for a financial commitment to rebuild the complex but this was rejected by that government. When the Liberal/National Party Coalition Government was elected, Jeanette gained $200,000 for a concept plan, then finance to purchase the necessary land, and finally $73M to build the new five storey complex.

She also successfully invited a number of ministers to see the need for the new building, including Peter Ryan, the Deputy Premier and National Party leader and Robert Clark, the Attorney General.

Jeanette Powell should be congratulated for gaining the full funding for the project and she should be invited to the official opening of that building, even if she wasn’t invited to the sod turning.

Yours sincerely, Bruce Lloyd Bunbartha

We Need More Support In The Fight Against Ice

Dear Editor, Communities across the Murray electorate desperately need additional funding to help them tackle the scourge of ICE. The Federal Government had already made $300M available, as part of its National ICE

Taskforce, but further funding needed to urgently make its way to northern Victoria.

The Andrews Government announced the next stage of Victoria’s ICE Action Plan recently, but it delivered little for the Murray region.

During this campaign, I will be demanding that more money needs to be allocated by the Turnbull/Joyce government to fight ICE in the community.

I don’t want to see any more lives ruined and families destroyed by this devastating drug and that’s why I’m calling on the Federal Government to get funding flowing to our region.

There’s no silver bullet when it comes to battling the scourge of ICE and that’s why our local communities need to be supported in a wide range of ways.

We need more residential rehabilitation beds for those who want to overcome the addiction.

We need better education and prevention initiatives in our schools and community organisations and our health sector needs to be well-resourced to deal with the impacts.

This is an absolutely critical issue. We can’t let one more person fall victim to this evil drug.

Yours sincerely, Damian Drum Nationals Candidate for Murray

Slur Not Backed

By Facts

Dear Editor, Disparaging and totally inaccurate comments made by one councillor at a council meeting and reported in the media recently are alleging a ‘lack of governance’ by the Section 86 Special Committee charged by council to deliver one of their major projects – The Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton.

These sweeping statements are not backed up by any evidence of incompetence. On the contrary all of the public records demonstrate business plans, minutes of meetings, specialist advice, financial auditor reports, OH&S inspections and BAS statements – to name just a few. Council has been regularly briefed in presentations about a range of relevant topics. I personally have contributed on many regional boards and even a national board as a chair or a board member in my working life. This has enabled me to make a significant community contribution based on that experience during the development of the gardens so far.

I can assure you that all who are involved take a great deal of pride in the standard of governance and the delivery of the project to date.

Unfounded comments disparage the many partners in this major project including landscape architects, engineers, landscape companies, CVGT, Council Parks & Recreation staff, GBCMA, River Connect, the very competent and passionate committee and the many volunteers who contribute.

These award winning gardens are being delivered to a very high standard and easily demonstrate value for money.

The increasing amount of visitors and feedback confirms what a wonderful asset we are assisting to develop for the region.

Yours sincerely, Karen Kilgour Secretary/Treasurer Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton Want to have your say?

MOOROOPNA Pizzeria & Wine Bar is far more than just a pizza shop, according to owner, Adrian Vigliaturo.

They also cater and have an upstairs function room, with full function menu, seating 70 to 80 revellers or 120 in cocktail arrangement.

The function room opens onto a heated balcony, perfect for those winter events, and both the function room and restaurant are fully licenced.

Another unique aspect to the restaurant is the disabled access and lift.

“We do fortnightly specials, as well as take away and delivery of any item on the menu,” Adrian said.

“We really pride ourself on the standard of our food and service. Our menu is reasonably priced and very family-oriented, with a full kid’s menu, so feel free to bring the kids along.”

Massive boost to GV Health The state-of-the-art works, which will begin in the coming two years and are planned for completion by 2020, are set to include a new four-storey tower that will provide three new operating theatres and two new wards, with existing theatres also being refurbished to provide greater efficiency with operations.

The existing emergency department will also be extended to add extra treatment bays, doubling its current capacity, and a new short-stay unit to improve patient wait times.

The hospital’s maternity unit will be refurbished and a new special care nursery will be constructed.

Patients needing dialysis at GV Health will soon be able to receive their treatment in greater comfort, with the existing chairs to be replaced and the unit expanded, and medical imaging services will be expanded and modernised as part of the redevelopment.

Premier, Daniel Andrews said, “The community has long called for Shepparton hospital to be rebuilt and expanded and we are getting it done.

“This investment means our hard working doctors and nurses can provide the safe and high quality care patients need. Patients will be treated faster, close to their families and close to home.”

Minister for Health, Jill Hennessy said, “The former Coalition Government took the people of Shepparton for granted and refused to give them the modern hospital that they badly needed.

“We are rebuilding the Shepparton hospital from the ground up. More patients treated more often and state-of-the-art facilities to match.”

Committee for Greater Shepparton CEO, Sam Birrell said, “This funding announcement shows

Page 18 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1300 Wednesday, April 27, 2016

what can be achieved when a region has a clear and shared sense of key priorities. It was made clear to the State Government by all stakeholders, particularly during the visit to Shepparton by Treasurer Tim Pallas, that the GV Health redevelopment was at the top of the list of projects that needed to be funded.

“Governments want to work with communities that have a shared vision and positive, well developed projects.

“As a united voice, we need to keep advocating for the other high priorities for infrastructure funding in this region. The Shepparton bypass stage 1A and the associated second crossing of the Goulburn River is case in point, and we call upon the candidates for the seat of Murray in the upcoming federal election to make a commitment to this project.”

Independent Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed said, “This was the number one big ticket item that I campaigned for in the lead up to the election. Not only does this mean the people of the Shepparton district can finally look forward to accessing the modern hospital services that our community has desperately needed for so long, it also means much needed jobs will be created in our community.

“This announcement clearly demonstrates that an independent candidate can work with the government of the day to effectively represent the electorate. I thank the Andrew’s government for this commitment. I will continue to work with the government to best represent the district of Shepparton.

“It has been an honour to serve as chairman of the Goulburn Valley Health Community Advisory

Group and I look forward to working closely with the members of that group, our hospital and our community to ensure that the needs of our district are met.”

GV Health CEO, Dale Fraser said, “This is a significant commitment and is recognition of the efforts of staff and the community to provide contemporary health facilities that will meet the needs of local people.

“This is a fantastic outcome for both the local community and staff at GV Health.

“The hard work now begins on the design stages and details, with input from staff and the community.”

Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell said, “We welcome the funding and I am absolutely delighted, but at the same time I am disappointed that they haven’t fully funded this project. What we are hearing is that this is the complete redevelopment, but the actual master plan outlines we needed about $280M for the complete redevelopment and the announcement last week came short of that.

“The announcement last week does not include the outpatients, mental health or the expansion of oncology, all of which desperately need to be expanded/upgraded.

“I ask that the government gets onto this as quickly as possible and attempt to move the timeline to completion forward and to provide the additional $112M to ensure the complete redevelopment. My fight on this starts immediately because the funding the government has allocated won’t deliver the standard of hospital that Shepparton both needs and deserves.”

Big turn-out for ICE information A LARGE crowd attended a “Social Issues & Solutions” public forum in Mooroopna last week.

ICE is on the minds of thousands of Goulburn Valley residents as it has become the scourge of our community.

Huge concern has gripped many in trying to deal with what could be described as an epidemic.

Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1300 Wednesday, April 27, 2016

Chronic use can lead to amphet psychosis, paranoia, auditory and visual hallucinations, irritability and aggressive and erratic behaviour.

ICE is also known as ‘crystal meth,’ ‘shabu,’ ‘glass,’ ‘shards,’ and ‘cold.’ It is highly addictive, euphoric effects make the user feel superior and invincible.

It can be injected, taken orally, snorted or smoked (generally smoked in ‘ICE pipes’. It costs approximately $700 per gram or $100 a ‘point’ -.1 of a gram.

All amphetamine users suffer from what they call “Crank Bugs.”

One of the speakers at the important community event, Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Maher went onto inform the packed Sir Ian McLennan Centre that ICE is manufactured with chemicals that are toxic to the human body, and once the drug is taken the chemicals remain in your system.

Your body’s natural reaction is to try and eliminate the toxins. Users itch and scratch some times to the bone.

Detective Senior Sergeant Maher said the laboratories are extremely volatile, can produce toxic fumes, can be any size, and warns not to enter or touch anything for example water/power.

A call for our community to help the

police with this fast growing threat has gone out to anyone who they suspect is dealing in drugs.

You can immediately notify the police or emergency services on 000.

Guest speaker, Jenny O’Connell, a mental health social worker program coordinator f rom L e ad i ng From W it h i n , h ig h ly recommended minimalising technology use to children, instant gratification was a serious concern as well.

Mother of ICE addict, Belinda Swift of Lansfield spoke of her huge battle trying to steer her son, Josh, 22, through the challenges of his teenage life. A keen footballer, Josh resorted to selling items online for his drug habit, was in and out of drug rehab and ended up in a psychology ward.

The audience heard there were drug addicts as young as eight in our region.

Very early intervention is critical and is a good start to dealing with it.

As a result of ICE and other drugs there has been an increase of family violence incidents, and aggravated burglary offences in the Shepparton region have risen by 30.6 percent.

The event was organised by Monsignor Peter Jeffrey of St Mary’s Parish.

community involvement in roles including coach of junior cricket, coach of soccer, an avid player of sport locally and is on the local school council.

“Community engagement within your role as a police officer is important. Without a supporting community it makes our job as police members harder,” Senior Constable Walker said.

“It is great that Rotary’ recognise this sort of role within the police force and I thank them for honouring me with the first award.

“I encourage other members to get out and about in the community and do all they can outside their role with the police force because it is very rewarding.”

Serving the Goulburn & Murray Valleys since 1984

wi t h Geoff Vallance

Flight to adventure Main Image: 15 BELOW… Lake Eyre, or officially Kati Thunda, is the lowest point in Australia some 15 metres below sea level. Inserts: MAGNIFICENT VIEW… The magnificent view from the air as you fly in. A VIEW OF THE LAKE… View of Lake Eyre. Below: STOPPING POINT… The Birdsville Hotel. A stopping point for those visiting the area.

A FLIGHT to Lake Eyre can be quite an adventure. To see the lake with water is truly a sight to behold says local tour operator, Rob Asplin, who has been conducting flights over Lake Eyre since 1997, flying there over 100 times.

It all started in 1993. Rob and wife, Joan ran a sports store in Kyabram. After selling the store they decided to go into tourism and began running canoe and kayaking trips on the Goulburn River, a side of their business still running strong today.

In 1997 they started the flights to Lake Eyre, initially flying from Melbourne’s Essendon Airport.

In those days they flew to William Creek but it was still a day’s drive to Lake Eyre.

Now flying from Shepparton, they stop at Broken Hill then onto Innamincka for lunch and then to the Dig Tree of Bourke and Wills and finally to Birdsville. They always arrive in time to witness the magnificent s u n s e t s b e f o r e m o v i n g i n to m o te l accommodation.

Next day it’s up early to go bird watching on the lagoon. There are pelicans and swans and during their last visit they were joined by a swarm of budgies.

Then it’s back on the plane to fly to the Big Red sand dune, then onto following the Diamantina River until it meets up with the Warburton as it snakes its way to Lake Eyre.

The Lake Eyre Basin is the lowest point in Australia. The low point is 15m below sea level, hence the water making it there. As it fills, the lake comes alive attracting water birds and tourists.

There are two lakes, Lake Eyre North and Lake Eyre South joined by the 13km Goyder Channel. When full, Lake Eyre is 144km long by 77km wide, like a huge inland sea.

Rob loves flying tours of Lake Eyre and seeing the looks on people’s faces as they see the lake for the first time. From the air

you can take it all in. His two and three day trips from Shepparton attract tourist from all over Victoria and NSW. On recent trips he was amazed to see rafts of pelicans. The first time, there were two rafts containing thousands of birds and on his last trip there were four. It looked like the birds had gathered to breed, but how do they know that there is still more water to come into the basin? Rob says pelicans can breed three to four times a season, so they must know the water is going to be there.

Rob will be keeping an eye out on future trips to see how the pelicans go. Their next trip is on May 12 and 13 and, all going well, they will continue flying into July.

If anyone would like to contact Rob, call River Country Adventours on 5852 2736 or e-mail on info@adventours.com.au Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance

A BRIGHT FUTUREâ&#x20AC;Ś S. Sali & Sons Transport is celebrating 60 years in business this year and managing director, Sam Sali and wife, Nina are looking forward to a bright future for the successful, local, family run business. Photo: Emma Hillier.

A history rich in family values and business growth IT all began with just one truck and two brothers 60 years ago, but despite simple beginnings, S. Sali & Sons Transport has grown to become an essential part of the local transport industry.

The late Alan Sali, brother of current managing director, Sam Sali, had always had an interest in trucks and actually owned his first truck well before the two brothers started S. Continued on page 30 Sali & Sons Transport.

Where it all began B OR N i n 19 2 8 , A l a n Sali was the founder and driving force behind Sali’s Transport.

Trucks were always a passion of Alans, but he wasn’t able to fully pursue his dream until 1956 when he started the transport busi ne ss w it h brot her, Sam. Together, the two built the company from one truck delivering 100 loads annually, to a fleet of trucks that today delivers approximately 3,000 loads across the country.

“He remained an integral part of the business for 40 years.

He had fantastic public relations skills, which I think is why the company was able to land some of the contracts it did.

“He deserves to be remembered and honoured for having the vision he did. Without him, the business wouldn’t even have existed let alone been so successful.

“To be celebrating 60 years of the business is something that I am sure Alan would have loved to see and I know he would be proud.”

When he finished technical school, Adem worked with his uncle on the family orchard before making the decision to join the family transport business and run the S. Sali & Sons Transport workshop for many years.

Adem is now the general manager and is looking forward to one day taking over and running the business.

“There is a bright future ahead for the transport industry and it is an exciting time to be a part of it,” Adem said.

“There is nothing else I would rather be doing and it really is something special to be able to work alongside family.”

JOHN Barrett has been a part of the S. Sali & Sons Transport family since 1974.

He started out as a driver but in 2004 became the company’s operations manager.

“After many years driving, my experience was able to lend itself toward a positive direction forward for the business and so I made the decision to move from being a driver, to being operations manager.

“I think in the coming years, S. Sali & Sons will continue being as strong as ever and I am glad to have had the opportunity to see that through.”

A driver for life

PETER Jackson, or Jacko as he is more affectionately known to others in the business, has been a driver for S. Sali & Sons Transport since 1986 and doesn’t plan on giving the job away anytime soon.

He has enjoyed his time with the company and says it is the family friendly atmosphere that is the reason why he is happy to stick around.

“My father used to work for the company and that’s how I got involved. When my father fell ill I took over with his truck and then later sold the truck and commenced driving with S. Sali & Sons Transport full time.” Peter said.

“It has been good and I love it here.”

A history rich in family values and business growth CELEBRATING 60 SUCCESSFUL YEARS… S. Sali & Sons Transport has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1956. In the photo on the left is driver, Tom Haughton (right) with the first truck owned by the company with Alan Sali (left) with the company’s second truck, a bright red Diamond T.

continued from front page IN 1946, Alan used his truck throughout the 6 month fruit season, but sold it after commitments arose on the family farm, but because of his deep interest in trucks Alan, along with Sam began the transport company in January 1956 and purchased their first truck, a 6 tonne Bedford truck.

Sam said, “At the time that Alan decided to create the company, I was still completing my apprenticeship in motor mechanics, so initially Alan managed a lot of the organisation and of the business, as well as the driving, and I loaded the truck and serviced it on weekends to be ready for him the following week.

“Our first loads were carrying local fruit and vegetables to the Melbourne Market and other factories. We worked with many local orchardists.

Page 30 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1300 Wednesday, April 27, 2016

“We have always run our operation from our current site on Verney Road in Shepparton.”

A highlight for the brothers came in 1958, when they brought a brand new truck with a 31’ single axle trailer, a bright red Diamond T. In 1964 they bought an International 184 with a 34’6” bogie trailer, which allowed the brothers to take their first steps toward interstate work and it wasn’t long before they were making deliveries to the Sydney Market.

With the business growing, the fleet increased from two to three and more drivers were employed to allow Alan to take on a fulltime management role.

In 1965 the business took on a fuel tanker and began carrying fuel for BP into the Goulburn Valley.

“We spent 25 years working with BP and during that time, fruit began to taper off as our

main focus. We began branching out into local and interstate general freight.

“Today, we have many national clients and concentrate heavily on interstate work carrying food products, building materials and a range of other materials.

“It’s funny to think that we started off with just us two and now we have 14 employees. We used to be able to carry a 16 tonne payload and deliver 100 loads annually and today we carry 60 loads per week, which is approximately 3,000 annually, and we do that with 9 trucks capable of carrying up to a 38 tonne payload.

“Over the years, the business’ main achievement has been the fact that we were able to continue and grow, and we owe that to Alan. I have to pay homage to my brother, Alan. Without his ingenuity and drive, the company wouldn’t be here today, and we are all very grateful that it is.”

From simple beginnings to a promising fleet STARTING with just one truck that delivered 100 plus loads per year, S. Sali & Sons Transport has grown to a fleet of six B-Doubles that carry 38 tonnes at a time and three single, semi trailers capable of carrying 24 tonnes per load.

With 60 years of experience behind them, S. Sali & Sons Transport utilise the technology of Kenworth trucks and more recently, Scania trucks.

These trucks are used to deliver food products, building materials and general purpose materials to areas right across the country.

A relationship that spreads nationwide FROM Melbourne to Sydney and Brisbane, S. Sali & Sons Transport has built the company from small beginnings to now working with many national accounts, but there are still locals who are utilising the efficient services offered by the local, family run company.

S. Sali & Sons Transport has also enjoyed a lengthy working relationship with many local

Page 32 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1300 Wednesday, April 27, 2016

companies who help them keep their business going strong. One such local business is Central Tyre Service, who has been alongside the transport business since its conception in 1956.

S. Sali & Sons Transport managing director, Sam Sali said, “We’ve enjoyed a long term association with Central Tyre Service.

Family wise, I can remember my dad used to deal with them right back when they were located in Fryers Street.

“Business wise, we’ve enjoyed our working relationship with them, they’ve always been good people to deal with and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them into the future.”

A tight-knit team WHILE S. Sali & Sons Transport began its life with brothers, Alan and Sam Sali at the helm, the business today has a tight-knit team who all work together as a family to ensure day-today operations run smoothly.

Fourteen members of staff work in administration and as drivers for the transport company, and managing director, Sam Sali says that they are essential in supporting the success of the business moving forward.

“There has been a continuing shortage of drivers over the last 10 years, and the mining boom has had a disastrous effect on that. We are seeing a bit of an ease with that at the moment, which is positive. The future does look a little worrying when it comes to drivers though, as we are noticing there aren’t many in the younger generation getting into the industry.

“All of our staff here are more than just people who work for us, they are very much a part of the family.

“Leanne in administration has been with us for 28 years and the office environment wouldn’t be the same without her. Our operations manager, John Barrett has been

Peter Jackson has been with us as a driver for 30 years this year. That’s half the time we have been in business. Having family work

The company today S. SALI & Sons Transport has seen many changes throughout the trucking industry.

From new technology introduced into its fleet, to changes in road safety, the company plans to continue to service and grow its clients and in turn continue to grow the business.

As a successful, small business, S. Sali & Sons Transport operates efficiently, which sets it apart from other transport companies in the region.

“Because of the fact we are a smaller, family owned and operated business it allows us to remain competitive in the industry locally,” managing director, Sam Sali said.

“We have also had our own dedicated workshop and mechanic from the begining, which is a big help when it comes to servicing our fleet.

“We move with the times, which is why we carry a lot less fresh produce now than we did at the beginning. We diversified the business to include other materials that were required interstate some time ago and this stands us in

Cats and Bears go head to head in honour of our ANZACs

By David Lee THE Mooroopna Cats (8.7-55) lost to the Shepparton Bears (14.23107) by 52 points at the weekend, when the two teams went head to head in a battle that was to honour our ANZACs. The ANZAC Day match saw the two teams take part in ANZAC Day commemorations before the game, with the Bears wearing specially made guernseys sporting with an ANZAC Day logo, that they were unfortunately not allowed to wear during the game due to a conflict with the branding of the clothing.

Shepparton RSL president, Bob Wilkie said, “The ANZAC Day match is a great initiative and provides a great opportunity to talk to the players about ANZAC Day and encourages them to get along to the ANZAC Day services.

“This is the first time playing the special ANZAC Day match with the partnership of the RSL.” Shepparton Bears Football Netball Club committee member, Arthur Hobson said, “From the club’s perspective this is about showing our respect.

“Mooroopna and Sheppar ton have played each other on ANZAC Day for the last two seasons and we had an RSL representative come down to ready the Ode of Remembrance and had the bugle playing The Last Post, where the players line up in silence to honour the fallen.”

Shepparton Runners Club May handicap THE Shepparton Runners Club (SRC) will be hosting their May 8km handicap run on Sunday, May 1, 2016 at Princess Park Oval in Shepparton at 8am.

SRC president, Nadine Edwards said “As a handicapped race, everyone is given a different start time. This means that all the participants should cross the line within a small timeframe and you don’t have to be the fastest to win.

“There will be prizes on the day, as well as a barbeque breakfast after the run.

“Entry is free for members, $7 for non members and all are welcome!

Participants are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for their handicap to be set prior to the race beginning.

Numbers permitting, a 2km kids’ dash will be run separately.

Old boots get second life AFL Goulburn Murray, in support with Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation, opened the annual Boot Bank at the weekend, which saw around 130 pairs of pre-loved football boots sold at an affordable price.

The boots were collected over the last four weeks and were sorted, assessed, washed and

fitted with a new pair of Zaidee’s Rainbow laces.

AFL Goulburn Murray Region general manager, Martin Gleeson is pleased with the quality of boots collected.

“We have, once again, had an excellent response from schools, children and their

parents in promoting the program and donating their second hand boots.

“Children grow out of their boots way before they wear them out and this program is a great way for old boots to be given a new life.”

“Their first training run was on Monday, April 18 at Wanganui Park Secondary College’s oval, where they were presented with a cheque for the grant.

“The GV Stars football program was started in July 2014 with an aim to provide players with an intellectual or physical disability with the chance to play AFL and train as a team.

“Physical activity, fun, enjoyment and chance to socialise amongst friends are some of the main benefits of being involved in this football program.”

WILL THE BOMBERS FLY UP?… The Kyabram Bombers have come out strong at the start of this season, but how far will they go? Photo: Supplied.

THE Kyabram Bombers have recruited like no other in the off-season and have started the year very impressively. Since the inclusions of Lachie Smith, Kayne Pettifer and Paul Newman’s return as coach to name a few, the talk is how far will Kyabram go?

As recently as 2014, history says that no matter how many recruits, how big the names are and how dominant you are as a team during the season, premierships are very hard to win. It is interesting to see at so many levels how many times the best side over the home and away season stumble at the second last or last hurdle.

The mighty Brisbane Lions sides that won three premierships in a row never finished on top after the home and away season and Hawthorn have not finished on top the last two years, but have beaten the more fancied

opposition going by the ladder positions to claim the premiership. In the GVFL, who could ever forget the Shepparton Swans’ win in 2014 when the Benalla Saints had taken all before them until the Sunday after the AFL grand final. And who could ever forget the Marc Quarrell led Shepparton United breaking a 21 year premiership drought in 2010, coming from third position after the home and away season.

The Kyabram Bombers are no strangers to premiership success and Paul Newman and his coaching staff have been around long enough to know that there are no certainties in football. Having said that, the Bombers are going to take some beating when you look at how much depth they have on their list but we do have some emerging contenders in Rochester, Benalla, Shepparton Swans and Echuca.
