Bleak future for region’s dairy farmers
SHEPPARTON’S Home Central businesses are not being deterred by the stage two works at the Benalla and Doyles Road roundabout. With Stage 2 works of the roundabout beginning last week, traffic has been detoured for the next two months and those heading East will have to pass over the roundabout works, and follow the detour signs before being able to turn around to head back to enter Home Central, but it’s certainly not going to be a hassle for those who wish to save big during their sale this weekend.

THE appointment of a new CBD place manager is set to help with the coordination of the revitalisation and activation of Shepparton’s CBD, with local, Tim Russel being appointed to take on the duties as of April this year. Tim, who will serve as the ‘touchpoint’ within council for CBD businesses and stakeholders, is Shepparton born and bred, and has a background in quantitative and qualitative policy research, community engagement and most recently place activation. Tim said, “My previous role with Melbournebased business The Space Agency involved developing strategies to activating new and existing urban precincts. “My specific role was to support these strategies with quality desktop and on-the-ground research and stakeholder consultations. “My first actions have been to make contact with local CBD traders to introduce myself and my role moving forward. A key focus for me moving forward is establishing positive working relationships with traders and other stakeholders. “The organisation’s vision for the CBD is guided by a number of strategies and plans including the CBD Strategy, Commercial Activity Centre Strategy and Council Plan.”

last election, or changed your name, you need to update your enrolment details online.” Australians unable to go online can pick up a paper enrolment form at any AEC office or Australia Post outlet, however, correctly completed applications must be returned to the AEC by the 8pm May 23 close of rolls deadline. To check your enrolment details or update details, visit www.aec.gov.au, phone 13 23 26, or drop into the AEC office at 377-379 Wyndham Street, Shepparton.

Colon Cancer WITH one death caused by colon cancer in Australia every two hours, Australian Rotary Health is urging everyone over the age of 40 should have a bowl scan regularly. Helping to promote testing for the disease, Rotary Bowlscan kits will be made available at local pharmacies for $15 until the end of this month, with most pharmacies across Shepparton, Mooroopna and Tatura doing their part in support of this year’s Bowelscan program. The program is aimed at building community awareness of the disease and provides a means of intercepting it as early as possible, which often means the difference between surviving or not. Shepparton pharmacist, John Anderson said the test isn’t difficult and is done in the privacy of the user’s own home. “Early detection of this disease will mean a complete recovery for most so that’s why

Champion barista takes golden milk jug THE heat was on recently as local baristas showcased their skills in GOTAFE’s Annual Barista Competition, with Matt Kington from Hudson’s Coffee fighting to take the champion barista title. The competition was a feature of the recent Careers Day Out and provided students and visitors with an opportunity to view the behind the scenes operations of a barista ‘in action.’ Scott Parker from Clockwork Coffee was awarded second place and last year’s winner, Adam Bowe from Nobel Monks took out third position. GOTAFE’s hospitality, tourism and events trainer, Kirstie Ash said, “This year was very close, with only three points between the first, second and third place getters. “Competitors were given 12 minutes to brew and present an espresso, latte and cappuccino and were judged on presentation, cleanliness, time and taste. “Holding the competition at Careers Day Out was a great opportunity for us to create some hype and excitement around the coffee industry and an opportunity for students and visitors to speak with our trainers about the courses we deliver.”

RSL celebrates golden jubilee ON MAY 25, the Shepparton RSL will have held a license for 50 years, with celebrations set to ring out for the branch’s ‘golden jubilee’ event in July. The original RSL building, which was completed at a cost of $64,000, was purpose built in 1966 after their prior location, the Church of England Parish Hall on High Street, was sold. Past committee members, foundation members a nd l i fe members w i l l be attending a special, celebratory cocktail party on Tuesday, July 12, where a book detailing the branch’s rich history will be launched. Shepparton RSL Foundation member, Fred Robinson said, “After the sale of the Shepparton hall, we held our meetings in the umpires rooms at the recreation reserve (Deakin Reserve) just inside the gates in an 8x6 wooden shed, which didn’t leave much room, but if we got eight to 10 members at a meeting we were lucky. “From there, we went to Somme Barracks and then the Shepparton Club gave us the use of a room for a few hours to hold our meetings. During all of this we still kept up our hospital visits. “To raise funds for our functions, we used to hold a Christmas carnival. Firstly alongside the post office where we would close off the street (Fraser) at both ends. From there we moved to the lake foreshore on the grass where we would park one of Pat Doyle’s buses on the road and use it as
an office. “Then we moved to the present site (of the RSL club), were we had a semi-trailer on the side of the block which we used as a stage. We had a lovely legs competition, using a sheet to cover the top half of the girls and the crowd would vote on the best legs.” Mr Robinson said the executive and the foundation members worked hard to build the clubrooms on the block facing Wyndham Street, with shops beside the clubrooms, and houses surrounding the precinct, being purchased as funds became available. “We had nothing when we started and I never envisaged the club would grow to the extent it has today.” Shepparton RSL president, Bob Wilkie said, “It’s great to see the Shepparton RSL celebrating a milestone like this. “We will be having a week of special events happening in the RSL from Monday, July 11 to Sunday, July 17, so we are inviting the community to come in and help us celebrate.”

SAM AND DUE DILIGENCE Dear Editor, The projected economic benefits of a new building for the Shepparton Art Museum (SA M) are detailed in the Executive Summary and are modelled at a slightly higher rate than that of the Benalla Art Gallery. In my opinion SAM modelling using data from Benalla Art Gallery to back up its assumptions is erroneous. The comparison of the Benalla Art Gallery to a new SAM at its new location is like comparing apples with pears, they are so different. They will both be on the edge of an ornamental lake and that is where the similarity ends. The Benalla Art Gallery is part of the Historic Botanic Gardens; site of the rose festival, the War Memorial and ‘Weary’ Dunlop bronze statue unveiled by Prime Minister, John Howard. The gallery hosts original works by legendary Australian artists, A rthur Streeton, Frederick McCubbin, Fred Williams and Sidney Nolan. I had a one-on-one meeting with councillor Chris Hazelman (council’s representative on the SA M Advisory Committee) on November 18, 2015. At that meeting the councillor admitted to not having read the 31 page Executive Summary nor the 209 page Final Report ‘Business Case for a new art museum in Shepparton’ at that time, because as he said he was not a councillor on May 19, 2015 when council voted to accept the findings of these reports. However, he has been part of a council that has spent ratepayers money in the pursuit of state and federal funding for the project. I did send an email to him via his council email address on March 6, 2016 with attachments that pointed out issues I had concern about. I don’t believe he or any of t he councillors that voted to spend $1M to commence the design and investigation works for the proposed new SAM have completed a proper due diligence on the project or the report that supports it. Furthermore, is the borrowing of funds a method of committing future councillors into the decision taken by the current councillors? I u r g e a l l r e s id e nt s to p rov id e feedback via the council web site at g r e at e r s h e pp a r t o n . c o m . au /c ou n c i l / consultation/draft-budget-2016-2017 and also exercise their democratic right at the upcoming council elections to vote out the current councillors. Yours sincerely, Michael Curtis Tatura
FUTURE PUBLIC TRANSPORT Dear Editor, It’s great the first stage of GV Heath redevelopment has been funded. What we now need to do is to ensure that the vast majority of the funds are expended on health matters and not excessive car parking for current and the 650 additional staff positions. Greater Shepparton needs a transport strategy that prioritised walking/cycling paths with secure bicycle parking and shower and change facilities at the hospital
for those arriving by bicycle, and some sort of reward for those who elect to walk or cycle. The hospital, as does the whole of Greater Shepparton, needs an efficient and sophisticated public transit system that links seamlessly with the city public transport system. The public transit system needs to revolve around some form of electric bus system, that links with a ‘park and ride’ process whereby people would drive to pre-determined locations on the edges of the city and be taken to whatever location they choose in the city, including the hospital. The service would be frequent, 10 minute intervals throughout the day and less during the night. The public transport facilities at the hospital should be covered and centrally located to allow easy access for the public. We need a transport strategy that sees public transit as the absolute priority, one that articulates the convenience, safety and the broader environmental benefits of living this way. Applying 20th Century thinking at the hospital with GH Health going it alone with (a multi-storey carpark) would be a temporary solution, but ultimately lead to more traffic difficulties, bringing more staff and public frustrations. We need an integrated approach. Yours sincerely, Terry Court Tatura
CAN’T BE TRUSTED Dear Editor Election 2016 is now in full swing. Over the coming weeks we will be bombarded with promises from the ALP and counter promises from the LNP. By the end of it the public will be thoroughly bamboozled by both parties. On July 2, voters won’t be sure who they can trust as billions of dollars in promises roll off the lips of the main contenders. Politics is a dirt y game in which the main party candidates will make outlandish promises, and the day after the election they will have forgotten they ever said such-and-such. It’s time for the public to turn away from both the ALP and LNP. Past history proves that we can’t trust them. It’s time to give independents and minor parties a go. If it weren’t for compulsory attendance at a polling booth the public would stay away in droves. We have seen it here in the recent QLD council elections wherein candidates said they would keep rates to the CPI or a rate freeze, only to vote for an increase at the first council meeting. With a four year term ahead of them they think the public will forget how deceitful they were. The ‘feds’ want a four year term too and next year will see a referendum to achieve that. It’s time to say no to the lot of them. Yours sincerely, Jay Nauss Glen Aplin Want to have your say? Email your letters to the Editor to editorial@sheppartonadviser.com.au. Max 100 words

Indigenous dental van on the move By David Lee INDIGENOUS residents who do not have access to a dental service in Kyabram and surrounds will soon be able to utilise a free general dentistry service, when Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-operative sends its dental van to the township for a day. The dental van service, which started in 2012 and services the North Victoria/Hume region, offers Indigenous people services including fillings and oral cleans, which they would otherwise not have the chance to access due to restrictions in available services in their area. Rumbalara Oral Health Clinic practice manager, Tracey Hearn said, “Kyabram has a gap in dental services available to Indigenous people and that is why we decided to take the van there. “Depending on the demand on the day, we may make it a regular service offered in the Kyabram area. “People will need to bring their Medicare and Healthcare cards on the day. We will take all the people we can who show up on the day, but we would prefer that appointments were made. “It is very important to be offering this service. Traditionally the service hasn’t been offered to Indigenous people and it’s all about trying to change the perception of oral health. “Having good oral health is an important part of being healthy overall.” The Rumbalara Dental Van will be at the Kyabram Community Learning Centre on Thursday, May 26. For further information, or to make an appointment, phone Rumbalara on 5820 0080.

Authentic Indian cuisine FROM the moment you step in to the new Hot Million Indian Restaurant, you will discover they have created the perfect blend of Eastern and Western decor schemes. Hot Million’ owner, Hargulab Singh is passionate about the authenticity of his restaurant, as he says, “The food we serve here is authentic Indian cuisine to the core. “Each dish will have its own distinctive flavour and aroma, which cannot come from any curry powder, but from spices which have to be separately prepared each day for each individual dish. “The blending and preparation of spices is a centuries old craft and is indispensable to Indian cuisine.” Wit h ow ners who have 13 yea rs’ experience in the hospitality industry, the newly established restaurant strives to serve the most exotic of Indian dishes to its guests. “The epicure will find far more than curries in our cuisine. We call nothing a
curry that does not blend at least dozen individual flavour of herbs and freshly ground spices into a piquant whole.” Hot Million’ is the perfect venue for holding private events such as functions, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and baby naming ceremonies. They can also host more formal gatherings, including business lunches and dinners. Hargulab would like to extend a very warm welcome to the people of Shepparton and surrounds.

One hundred reasons to visit SAM IN June, the Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) will be welcoming one of China’s most acclaimed contemporary artists, Chen Qiulin and her exhibition, One Hundred Names. Running from June 4 until July 24 and developed in collaboration with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney, the exhibit offers a rare survey of over a decade of work by this multidisciplinary artist. Using a combination of photography, video installation, performance and other media, Chen investigates the contradictions that arise when a country tries both to maintain tradition, and to develop rapidly. Her work examines how migration, displacement, and urban development
Page 12 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1303 Wednesday, May 18, 2016
disrupt traditional Chinese ancestry, culture and way of life. While the unusually rapid development of China highlights these issues, they are not unique to China, and reflect stories and experiences shared by many others in the developing world. SAM director, Dr Rebecca Coates said, “SAM is delighted to present a major exhibition by contemporary Chinese artist Chen Qiulin. Her work explores global themes such as migration, economic growth, the rise of the new middle class. “Through her ongoing interest in food
and scent, she reflects on the smaller things that remind us of ‘home.’ The themes that run through Chen’s work resonate strongly in the Shepparton and Goulburn Valley region, now home to many who have come from other parts of the globe.” As part of her exhibition at SA M, Chen will perform a tofu carving using significant Chinese migrant names from the Shepparton area. For further information, visit SAM at 70 Welsford Street, Shepparton or phone 5832 9861.

THE last thing you want this winter is to have your radiator freeze when you’re out on the road. Shepparton Radiators and Windscreen owner, Scott Campbell says it’s important to make sure you have your anti-freeze/anti-boil checked at the onset of winter. “We can do a complete diagnostic checkup on your radiator and for those heading to the snow, it’s a good idea to make this a priority, as you don’t want to find yourself stuck up there.” “We do recores, repairs and clean outs, as well as supplying new components on cars, trucks, tractors, fork lifts, lawn mowers and motorbikes.” Shepparton Radiators and Windscreen also 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 ensure you feel confident on the road this winter, drop in to Shepparton Radiators and Windscreen, 8006 Melbourne Road, Shepparton or phone 5823 1590.
Bleak future for region’s dairy farmers continued from front page FONTERRA’S announcement stated that it would be lowering its farm gate milk prices from $5.60 to $5 and followed a similar announcement from Murray Goulburn (MG) that it would be dropping its price as low as $4.75 per kg/MS, leaving local dairy farmers staring at a bleak future. Deputy Prime Minister Joyce arrived in the Goulburn Valley this morning, with his first stop being to meet with local dairy farmers to hear their concerns, before moving on to Pactum Dairy to discuss the milk pricing debacle with industry leaders and farmers. A dairy farmer from Strathmerton spoke with The Adviser before heading into Fonterra’s closed forum last week, saying that their family run farm is set to lose big money over the coming months. “The family farm has been handed down generations over the past 30 years and now our farm personally is about to lose $250,000 in the next two months. “This means that bills don’t get paid, loans don’t get paid and we will be struggling to feed our families. “Nobody recovered from the drought and then you add the devastating impact of the increasing water prices on top of that and now this…If these things continue to happen, there will be no dairy industry.” A spokesperson from Fonterra said, “Fonterra has been upfront all season that the milk price did not reflect the market reality. We have continued to meet ou r prici ng obl igat ions u nder the BSC Milk Supply Agreement, even while our product mix and global price volatility have continued to challenge us and does not support the price paid. This has been compounded by our substantial losses due to our product mix, comprised predominately of commodity powders, coupled with the unexpected rally in the Australian dollar.
“We signalled in August 2015 the possibility of a step-down and that our farmers needed to budget conservatively. We recognise this does not make our milk price revision any easier on our farmers. “We are working hard to get a clear line of sight for next season’s milk price so our farmers can plan. In the interim, we can confirm that for the next three years our milk price will not be discounted by MG’s support package of 20 to 27 cents per kg/ MS. We will continue to pay a market milk price. “Moving forward, we are committed to taking a leadership position to ensure more transparency on milk price for Australian dairy farmers. “We know the events of the last few weeks are incredibly tough on dairy fa rmers; ou r priorit y is to suppor t our farmers, and continue to operate responsibly and transparently so that we have a sustainable Australian dairy industry.” Fonterra Australia also announced add itional suppor t measu res for its autumn calving suppliers, which aim to balance up the support to suppliers on an autumn calving structure who are disproportionately affected by the farm gate price reduction. Fonterra Oceania MD, Judith Swales said, “We have consulted with BSC to better target autumn calving suppliers, by providing an additional autumn offset to farmers for milk supplied in May and June 2016. The package will go some way towards rebalancing the spring versus autumn seasonal incentives for FY17. “The offset will provide autumn calving suppliers an additional $2.50/kg/MS in July and August payments based on the kg/MS a farmer supplies in May and June 2016. This will effectively be drawn through the redistribution of base rates in the 2016/17 season,” Ms Swales said.
• A major rally has been organised in support of disgruntled dairy farmers at the Tongala Public Hall in Mangan Street from 7:30pm tonight.

Another candidate in the ring ROBERT DANIELI – AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY PARTY
W I T H t he federa l election looming, the Australian Country Party has announced its candidate for the seat of Muray, Robert Danieli. The Adviser caught up with Robert to talk politics and the Greater Shepparton region. Why have you nominated to run for the seat of Murray? I have nominated to
run for the seat of Murray because we need to change the political landscape and force the government of the day to treat this electorate and its people with the respect we deserve. As a safe coalition seat, we have been taken for granted by Liberal/National governments and treated with disdain by Labor governments. What are your core values? We are committed to the representation and preservation of the rights and interests of those who live in, work in or enjoy, rural, regional and urban communities. We will not pander to economic and social agendas that have paralysed our rural communities.

What do you see as the most important aspects of the Goulburn Valley? Water is the number one issue in the Goulburn Valley. Without irrigation our economic driver of agriculture would be dramatically reduced. Preserving our agricultural output preserves jobs and all our other industries. We need to ensure irrigation water remains affordable, secure and with an efficient and viable delivery system. Health services, education, transport and infrastructure are all important issues that also need attention. If elected, what would you do to work towards ensuring the region receives the attention and funding that has been lacking over the past 20 years? If I were to be elected this would make Murray a seat that the LNP and Labor party would aim to win back. Combine this with the real possibility that I could hold the balance of power in the new parliament, would give me a huge bargaining position to rebalance what has been overlooked for many years in our electorate. What would your primary focuses be? To rework water policy and the Murray Darling Basin Plan, review all policies, treaties and international agreements that are detrimental to Australian agriculture, businesses and our environment, ensure that fairness is applied when federal monies are allocated for infrastructure projects, transport, health and education, introduce taxation policies that
support agriculture and manufacturing and to re-establish our local forestry industries. How well do you know the region and the issues facing the wider community? I have lived and worked in the Murray electorate for 21 years. I am an active member of many community groups and have fought for our communities on many issues whether they fell under the responsibility of local, state or federal government. Why should the community vote for you and your party? People should vote the Australian Country Party because we are the only conservative rural party that will stand up for all Australians. We offer strength of purpose, common sense and the old-fashioned Australian spirit. We are prosmall business, pro-agriculture, pro-Australian jobs and we will demand a fair share and a fair go for rural communities, in particular people who live and work in the Murray electorate. What are your thoughts on Sharman Stone’s performance over the years? I would call myself a friend of Sharman and over the past five years we have worked hand-inhand on a number of issues, especially on water policy. In her earlier years I think Sharman may have been a bit more focused on her party’s policies, which weren’t overly helpful; but in recent times she has been outspoken against poor policies. Unfortunately she has been a bit of a lone voice in the LNP.
Teenage trivia is here IN A bid to help get local teenage brains working, Word and Mouth are putting on a ‘Teenage Trivia’ night on Saturday, May 21 from 7pm until 10pm, at the MacIntosh Centre, Shepparton Showground. Unlike most trivia nights, this one isn’t raising funds for a worthy cause, it is purely for young people aged 12 to 25 to have fun and test their wit and knowledge against that of other young people. Word and Mouth project manager, Jim Gow said, “We’ve never tried this type of thing before. “It was suggested by a young person, bounced off the Word and Mouth Youth Committee, and they liked it. We did want to make it different to the norm however. The questions are naturally skewed to the happenings of the last 20 years or so.
“We continue to engage young people by putting on a range of events for young people to do in Greater Shepparton. We too often hear that there is nothing to do in the area for young people and we are constantly looking to change that, which includes trying new events like this one. If it works, great, if not, we try something else. All of our events all started out the same way; NerdMania, Zombies, you name it. There is a certain amount of experimentation required.” The tickets for the event are just $10 per person, with tables of six. Young people can either source their own team of six, or can be put into a team on the night. Some of the question rounds include a Simpsons round, gaming round, modern movies and many more. Find ‘Word and Mouth’ on Facebook for more details.
IF IT’S
GOT WHEELS A home on wheels
A BUS LOAD OF JOY… Local resident, Ken Muston searched for four years to find his 1980 Prevost bus that has been converted into a motor home. Photos: Emma Hillier.
IT was because he had always admired stainless steel style busses that lead local resident, Ken Muston to begin his four year search for a 1980 Prevost that had been converted into a motor home. The 10.6m long bus sports a 400L water tank, gas central heating, hot water system, solid oak finishings, microwave, full sized fridge, a gas oven and all the creature comforts of a motor home. The Prevost also has grey water storage, a generator, 6 cylinder Detroit 2 stroke diesel engine with a supercharger and turbocharger and solar panels on the roof to help with being a self sufficient home on wheels. Ken said, “The first thing that got me was the look of the bus. “I found it listed in San Francisco for $49,000 so I couldn’t turn away from it.
“It can be a big job to get vehicles through Australian compliance but this wasn’t in that bad of a condition. There were four items I needed to work on so that it met Australian design rules. “Once we got it back there was a fair bit of cleaning that needed to be done and I had to fix a few leaks in the roof and oil leaks in the engine. “I spent around 150 days pulling everything apart in the underside of the bus to fix things like wires and pipes that were just hanging everywhere. “We also completed a right hand conversion, which took four months to undertake. It was unbelievable the amount of time spent to get that done. “I think this is probably the only one on the road in Australia.”

Gold and bronze a sporting win By David Lee LOCAL up and coming athletics champion, Antonio Viatohi is making quite the name for himself on the athletics track, taking home gold and bronze at the Australian Little Athletics Championships in Adelaide recently. Although his favourite event is the 100m, Antonio took gold in the 100m U13 relay event and in the 400m U13 event, he not only received a bronze medal, but managed to beat his personal best. Antonio currently holds the 200m and 400m school records in Shepparton and both the 100m and shot put records for the season at the Shepparton Little Athletics Centre. Antonio said, “I won the 100m and 200m events at the Victorian State event and the boys outdoor pentathlon, scoring a total of 1,797 points which is why I was selected for the nationals. “It’s a big achievement for me to walk away with two medals at my first nationals event. “I am looking forward to next year’s nationals event in Perth for the U14 event, where I hope to better my record from this year. “I train and compete with my little brother, Christian which is good because it helps to push us both.” ATHLETICS CHAMPION IN THE MAKING… Local resident, Antonio Viatohi is fast becoming an up and coming athletics champion after walking away from the Australian Little Athletics Championships with a gold and bronze medal.

The new electronic scoreboard will enable the club to advertise important health and safety messages to spectators visiting the oval to watch games. The Nationals’ candidate for Murray, Damian Drum has welcomed the decision by the Turnbull Government to provide the funding. “Rumbalara is a name that is synonymous with the local Aboriginal community here in Shepparton and the
Rumbalara Football and Netball Club has done a great deal for reconciliation in the community. “The Nationals recognise that local organisations like the Rumbalara Football and Netball Club are the backbone of country communities and so it’s great the Coalition has been able to provide this support. “If elected to Murray, I will be a strong advocate in the Coalition party room for community organisations in Shepparton to ensure they get a fair share of government funding.”
