Program launches to create

mentors for life

By David Lee STUDENTS at McGuires College have been given an opportunity to learn and grow through the guidance provided by 20 mentors, as part of the Lighthouse Project’s latest mentoring program launched last week.

Members of the police, lawyers, council members, business owners and other inspirational people from across the region met with students as part of the program, with an aim to continue the relationship between mentor and student for life and help lead the students to success.

Lighthouse Project executive officer, Lisa McKenzie said, “We all need people and significant adults in our lives to offer feedback and support.

“As part of the program we have brought in well respected members of the community who have a range of skills that will provide that extra bit of support to help the students succeed.

“This is all about demonstrating what is possible when the whole community wraps around its young people.”

Mentor and Shepparton police senior constable, Matthew Walker said, “While the program will run until the end of the year, the plan is to build relationships and continue the mentoring into the future.

“The mentors have been matched with students through a

questionnaire process that looked at interests outside of school, passions, what you would like to do more of and topics that you might need help in.

“I was partnered with Luke Fitzsimmons, who I have already met outside of this program when I coached his cricket team. One of the goals is to help Luke get back into his cricket.”

Year 7 student, Luke Fitzsimmons said, “I am hoping to get back into sport and get help improving my English skills, which I am looking forward to this program really helping with.”

Chamber keen to get things moving in Mall again W I T H ye a r s of d eb at i n g , r e p o r t s commissioned, consultants advising and trader meetings all pointing to opening the Shepparton Maude Street Mall, the Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry is keen to get things moving, and quickly before it’s too late.

“M a ny people i nclud i ng ou r cit y councillors seem to have forgotten that it was the businesses and landlords who paid for the Mall in the first place,” Chamber acting president, Carl Hainsworth recently said.

A move to slow moving traffic and parking in the Mall is critical for the wellbeing of the City.

Mr Hainsworth, said a recent $300,000 Council allocation towards the Mall should go towards drawing up plans for its opening, not window dressing which is already a major failure of business, commerce and planning in the Mall.

The Chamber which represents more than 200 businesses has been calling on Council to open the Mall to slow moving traffic for some time as it battles to fight for the survival of its members in the CBD. “It is extraordinary that virtually no action has been taken to get the Mall open

again, the Maude Street Mall has failed and needs serious attention from our City and Councillors,” Carl said.

“It’s difficult to understand the logic of keeping a shopping strip the way it is if it’s not working, we need it changed and quickly,” Carl said.

He added, “It’s unfortunate that a lot of decisions made by various people are made by people who haven’t run their own business, you only have to take a walk along Maude Street Mall and it’s clear it’s in trouble.”

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.

Night Market In The Mall

Dear Editor, The Shepparton Maude Street Mall would be a great success if the council would cover the central area (at the junction of Maude Street, Fraser Street and Stewart Street) with an attractive high or domed roof. It also needs to place many seats and picnic tables in that area so there could be regular weekly concerts and/or choral concerts on the stage with the protection people need from the sun.

The concerts could come from surrounding schools etc to become an enjoyable lunchtime attraction.

With further adequate lighting, all the mall area could become a famous night market with music and police presence. It would be great for Christmas markets and the Shepparton Arts Festival and Spring Blossom Festival.

Yours sincerely, Nancy, Toolamba

Recent Census

Dear Editor, Regarding the recent senseless held on August 9, I believe in father Christmas, I believe in the tooth fairy, I believe that the world is flat and I also believe that everything you put up onto the internet is 100 percent safe and no one can get at it!

On the form you have to fill in your name, address, age and your income! How long is it before many high earners are hit by this Ransome ware?

How naive can these politicians get? The site has already been hacked.

Yours sincerely, Dennis Oyston, Shepparton

Food For Thought

Dear Editor, In response to the letter in The Adviser on August 3 ‘Businesses in the Maude Street Mall,’ Dennis Oyston has a valid point. Food! It’s everywhere and people are embracing it and all of the varieties on offer. When I walk from LaTrobe Street through Melbourne Central, then through Emporium to the Bourke Street Mall, I bypass a myriad of eateries, a mixture of specialist cafes along with food halls and they are buzzing. People take their time ambling through these walkways while they duck and weave in and out of retail outlets enhancing business. Buskers in the mall add atmosphere and the GPO building on the corner has a vast range of eateries all alongside each other and all well patronised.

Food for thought here perhaps?

Yours sincerely, Maggie Turner-Miguel, Shepparton Want to have your say?

PERSONALITY, connection, vibrance and dedication are words that came to mind as I sat chatting with ‘Women’s Wellness’ GP, Dr Mirjana Janjic, but Mirjana offers much more than that.

Invited to work in shared care with Dr Fiona Jane, earlier this year, Mirjana shares Fiona’s passion for providing quality holistic health care for women in an environment that allows longer consultations and deep doctor/patient connections.

Mirjana works with general women’s health and wellbeing and also has a special

interest in skin and skin care with acne and rosacea treatment being her specialty.

Mirjana said, “Prevention is my passion and the doctor-patient relationship is one that should be valued as a preventative medicine in itself. A doctor who knows her patient very well, will recognise their low points and health issues can be identified faster.

Equine dentist at hand B E I N G a p e t ow n e r h o ld s e n o r m o u s responsibilities. Not able to communicate their needs, we have to be sure to keep up with our pet’s regular health check-ups, especially in relation to dental health.

Murray Valley Vet, veterinarian and business owner, Zoe Manning saw a real need for equine dentistry within the Goulburn and Murray Valley’s and has taken a great interest in this area. With a special interest in equine dentistry, Zoe travels to treat horses and maintain their dental health.

Zoe said, “If your horse is having trouble eating, tossing their head, being evasive to the bit or you notice the horse’s mouth smells, it’s best to get it’s teeth checked. Regular filing and dental checks can help prevent gum disease, cavities and exaggerated dental abnormalities.

Encouraging your horse to chew at the end of a running hose as you rinse it’s mouth, will help to keep their teeth and mouth clean and the horse will have fun in the process.”

To book your horse in for a dental check with Zoe at Murray Valley Vet, call 0448 882 643

By David Lee MORE than 85,700 daffodils have been donated by Sam Renato over 15 years of Daffodil Day, and the community is once again being invited to throw their support behind this year’s Daffodil Day by purchasing the delicate yellow flowers.

After raising $16,891 last year locally, the local Daffodil Day Sheppar ton Volunteer Group, in collaboration with Sam Renato from Renato’s Florist and Shepparton Access are hoping to celebrate Daffodil Day’s official 30th year by beating last year’s amount.

With this year’s event on Friday, August 26, volunteers will be manning 10 sites across the city on August 25, 26 and 27 to help raise funds for cancer research.

Donation sites will be set up on Friday 26 at Fairleys SUPA IGA, GV Health, City Walk, SPC Factory Sales, Shepparton Marketplace, Mooroopna Woolworths,

Further support for dairy farmers THE United Dairyfarmers of Victoria (UDV) has welcomed the State Government’s delivery of a $6.7M support package to ease some of the burden caused by the current milk price crisis.

The package includes $1.8M in Dairy Development Grants to assist farmers with their on-farm business (up to $5,000 on-farm infrastructure grant), $340,000 for Rural Financial Counselling Services, $1.4M for dairy farming families to receive 15 hours of free kindergarten in the year before school, $1.5M for camps, sports and excursions so no child misses out, $750,000 for ‘Rural Skills Connect’ employment program for farmers delivered by Rural Dairy Victoria to offer farmers the chance to identify transferrable skills and training to help them find off-farm work, $600,000 for targeted dairy technical support – Ag Vic Extension support, $320,000 to extend Rural Financial Counselling services to small businesses and support for retraining through the TAFE system.

UDV president, Adam Jenkins said, “We respect the fact that the State Government has stepped up to the mark and offered dairy

farmers and their communities direct support when it’s most needed.

“But the U DV also acknowledges there’s still a lot of work needed to restore confidence in the dairy industry and our communities.”

Mr Jenkins said the UDV had played a key role in getting the package across the line and praised Agriculture Minister, Jaala Pulford for consulting farmers and other industry stakeholders to identify key areas of support.

“Ultimately this is not only about supporting dairy farmers, but also our local communities, who are feeling the flowon effects of the plunge in milk prices this season,” Mr Jenkins said.

“There’s still a lot of work to do and UDV will continue its role of listening to dairy farmers, lobbying for state and federal support and seeking industry reforms that ensure we don’t see a repeat of milk price claw-backs that have crippled many farmers.”

Take the next step to business success continued from front page

AFTER beginning on July 1, 2015, Renew Shepparton has already seen eight landlords matched with start-up businesses, two of which having gone on to sign a lease.

Lost Shepparton, DOTZ for KIDZ , Vintage Chics, Deadly Creations, Seven Creeks Pearls, KE Emporium, Hollie’s Nappy Cakes and The Inspired Monkey were all but a pipe-dream for their owners, but thanks to Renew Shepparton, each business had the chance to add something unique and special to Shepparton’s CBD. Recently coming on board to lease his premises at 122 High Street, Shepparton as part of the project, Ron Popelier from Pop Design Studios is calling on the community to get in touch with Renew Shepparton and take advantage of this opportunity.

“Renew Shepparton is an important project for the community,” Ron said.

“The business community is pivotal to the future success of Shepparton and is the heart and soul of the city.

“I made the decision to come on board because I had a space that I wanted to lease and it provides someone with a great opportunity and a chance to give it a go.”

Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry executive officer, Lucy Cerrone said, “It’s fantastic to see the businesses that have been a part of Renew’ and to see some of them flourish and now being able to operate in their own right is what the project is all about.

DELIVERERS NEEDED URGENTLY Get fit and become healthy, while earning extra money.

Waste contamination improved THE contamination rate of the green lid bins for July was a low 4.1 percent, a decrease of 5.1 percent since June, when contamination rates exceeded 9 percent.

G reater Sheppa r ton Cit y C ou nci l Director Infrastructure, Steve Bowmaker said, “The result for this month is terrific and I thank residents for taking care in what they are putting in the green bins.

Residents should be congratulated for their efforts. Recent weeks in July are showing even lower rates with some weeks as low as 1.4 percent.

“The more we work on putting the right waste in the right bins, the better for our environment, our carbon footprint, our airspace at the landfill and in the end, that’s better for our hip pockets as ratepayers.

“I sincerely thank residents for your ongoing efforts and urge you to keep up the good work, to save you and council money.”

Council are also urging residents who receive a sticker on their green lid bin about contamination, to take the time to check what is being placed in the bin.

Celebrating our cultural heritage THOSE who contribute to the region’s cultural heritage will receive recognition, through the launch of the 2017 Greater Shepparton Cultural Heritage Awards last week.

The awards are held in association with the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee every two years and recognise outstanding contributions to cultural heritage and conservation, research, education, promotion, interpretation, training and awareness-raising within the municipality.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Sustainable Development, Johann Rajaratnam said cultural heritage relates to more than simply architectural significance.

“It includes both tangible cultural heritage, such as buildings and landscapes, books, artefacts and artwork, and intangible cultural heritage, such as folklore,

traditions, language and knowledge.

“It also includes places of social, historical, technical and spiritual significance.

“It is vital that we identify and conserve all places of cultural heritage significance to our municipality; whether they are grand nineteenth century homesteads, humble weatherboard cottages or remnants of our early agricultural and industrial pursuits. We must identify these places to ensure that our history is recorded and accessible for future generations, and we must celebrate their significance.”

Awards nominations are now open and close on Friday, December 9. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on Saturday, April 22, 2017.

Local’s artwork to travel the big city continued from front page

THE piece, which is themed around artists creating unique spaces in the city, is one of eight artworks to have been selected to be a part of the festival.

The works are being created digitally and will be installed on the trams later this month and then launched as part of the festival in October.

Mimi said, “It’s pretty exciting. I am quite happy to be part of the selection.

There are some well established artists that have been selected so I’m pretty happy to be a part of it.

“My piece is centred around mixing artists and non-artists together and getting

everyone involved and how that creates unique spaces for everyone to enjoy. I hope it inspires people.

“As part of the festival, there is also going to be a people’s choice award where the community will have the chance to vote for their favourite, which is also pretty exciting.”

Treated water to be released into depression drain OVER the next 12 weeks, treated water from the Goulburn Valley Water (GVW) Wastewater Management Facility (WMF) in Tatura will be routinely released into the Goulburn Murray Water Mosquito Depression Drain.

G V W wa s t e wat e r a nd r e c yc l i n g coordinator, Mr Stuart Harris said the decision was made due to recent wet weather events and an increase in trade waste inflows from local industry.

The water being released has been fully treated and meets Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Class C standards.

The Tatura WMF facility caters for over 1,800 residential customers and three

major food processing industries.

“I ndust ria l t rade waste f lows to the Tatura WMF have exceeded design capacity.

“GVW will commence the release of excess water into the Mosquito Depression Drain in mid-August 2016.

“With a total of 13 storage lagoons the WMF holds almost 940 million litres, the entire treatment process takes around seven months from start to finish.

“Of the 1,800 million litres treated in the past year, 58 percent has been used to irrigate dairy and cropping properties adjacent to the WMF facility.”

Photos clockwise from top left: A HOLIDAY TO REMEMBER… Annette and Bernard Sleeth really enjoyed their month in Europe.

FLOATING SHOPS… The Ponte Vechio Bridge in Florence with its shops built on either side, which hang out over the water on stilts.

RESTORED TO GLORY DAYS… The big must see at Rome’s Vatican City. The Sistine Chapel restored to its original glory.

WHAT A FOUNTAIN… Annette and Bernard loved Rome’s Trevi Fountain. A lot of work had been done on it. The first day, the fountain was empty but back working again the next day.

FROZEN IN TIME… Pompeii was caught in a time capsule and was preserved by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius. It’s well worth seeing.

IT was Christmas and Bernard and Annette Sleeth of Shepparton wanted to experience a white Christmas.

So just before the big day they flew to Europe. Their first stop was Prague and they

were amazed at the beauty of the Christmas decorations everywhere.

Bernard says it was refreshing to see major cities celebrating the history, unlike many parts of Australia not putting up Christmas decorations to be politically correct.

They had six days in Prague and got around the major must sees on a hop-onhop-off bus. In the old city they saw the ancient Astronomical Clock, which is 600 years old and still keeps time in the city’s main square.

Each day on the hour the clock comes to life with animated figures of the 12 apostles

Linz, Salzburg, Regensburg, one of the best preserved medieval cities, Nuremberg, Kitzingen, a city of wine, to mention just a few. They saw magnificent castles and history dating back over hundreds of years.

When finally arriving in Amsterdam they went on a canal cruise to see the city at its best, and visited the red light district. It was cold so not many ladies were around.

Annette loved Amsterdam but warns you have to look out for the bicycles, they are everywhere in their thousands and have right of way.

n i h t n o Am

moving across the face.

There was so much to see in Prague particularly in the old city, which tells its own history including Prague Castle the official residence of the president of the Czech Republic.

It was time to attend a full on Christmas concert. All the old carols were sung and Bernard and Annette joined in. Unfortunately there was no snow so no white Christmas but with the energy of the concert it still felt like a white Christmas.

The next stop was Budapest from where they would join a 14 day APT cruise, but first was a tour of the city. Again Christmas decorations were everywhere and Christmas markets selling everything for the big day.

They celebrated Christmas with a delightful lunch and dinner on-board their cruise ship, the MS Amavenita. Annette says the cruise ship was wonderful, in fact all of it was five star; the ship, the staff and that magnificent food.

They stopped at all the interesting towns along the way; Vienna famed for its architecture and classical music and palaces, Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1316 Wednesday, August 17, 2016

It was then time to move on to Paris for three days and they saw it all, the Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge, Arc de Triumph and again a massive display of decorations celebrating Christmas.

The next stop was Rome. They toured the Vatican City and saw the Sistine Chapel, Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum and much more.

Right through Europe, Bernard and Annette were constantly aware of a strong police and army presence but they never felt insecure.

They then travelled to Pompeii. Bernard says it’s like a city caught in a time warp, where everything is just as it was before the Mt Vesuvius eruption that buried the city.

The excavated buildings still contain paintings on house walls and streets and shops are all as they were. It’s a real snapshot of history.

They then boarded a train to Florence; a beautiful city with landmarks like the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. Over the years, shops have been built on the sides of the bridge with stilts down into the Arno River, and there is the famous Uffizi Gallery, which is home to Michaelangelo’s David.

Then it was back to Rome and finally their

flight home to Australia. Both Bernard and Annette just loved their month on tour and have come home with some great memories and lots of photos. They would like to thank Vivien at Helloworld Travel in Shepparton for arranging everything.

Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance

Trio of competitions sees locals take medals

By David Lee A TRIO of taekwondo competitions over the last four weeks has seen locals from Koryo Taekwondo walk away with a collection of medals.

Eleven Koryo students took part in the Victorian Selections held over two weeks in Melbourne, with the group bringing home 6 gold, 1 silver and 6 bronze medals, with each of them having now qualified to compete in

the Victorian team at the Australian National Championships next Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Head instructor 6th Dan Jidokwan, and 5th Dan Kukkiwon OTU poomsae and sparring coach, Sammy Rachele also competed in the Victorian Selections, bringing home 2 gold and 1 silver medal, and also competed in the World Championship Selection in Perth where we earned 1 gold and

1 silver medal as well as the Presidents Cup in Canberra where he received 1 silver medal.

Sammy said, “There was a lot of training involved and it took a while for everybody to be ready for the competitions.

“I have qualified for the Australian team to compete in the World Championships in Peru next month and the Oceania Championships in Fiji in November.

“At the end of the day everybody did well

THRILLING GAME… The Murray Bushrangers went down to the Dandenong Stingrays by just one point during a thrilling TAC CUP clash at the weekend.

Bushrangers stung by a point THE Murray Bushrangers have gone down by one point in a thrilling TAC CUP clash with the Dandenong Stingrays at Shepley Oval at the weekend.

The Stingrays’ (68) came out with a sting in their tail piling on the first four goals in a high quality opening term, the Bushrangers’ (67) were able to steady late in the term with a goals to Will Brodie and Will Donaghey.

The contest lived up to expectations with easy possessions few and far between and players required to demonstrate clean ball handling and an ability to absorb and create pressure whilst running hard from contest to contest.

Shepparton’s Will Brodie was a standout performer for the Bushrangers’ with his trademark ability to win contested ball before powering away from stoppages a highlight of the game. Brodie was assisted in the clinches

by Wodonga’s Isaac Wallace and North Albury’s Ben Paton, who both won possessions and pressured the

opposition players throughout the game.

Albury dynamo, Charlie Spargo returned to TAC CUP football with a stellar performance through the midfield and across the forward line. The 16 year old kicked two crucial goals and provided plenty of drive and energy all day as he again highlighted his 2017 draft prospects.

North Albury’s Doulton Langlands continues to impress with his ability to win the ball, compete hard and run at high speed both offensively and defensively.

Ryan Garthwaite (Corowa-Rutherglen) was at his reliable best running hard, taking numerous intercept marks and making good decisions with the ball.

Up forward, Todd Marshall highlighted his class with three goals in low scoring game.

The Bushrangers’ will be looking to bounce back this Saturday, August 20 when they take on TAC CUP reigning premiers the Oakleigh Chargers at the Wangaratta Showgrounds from 1pm.

and came home with a medal and I am proud that they have made it on the team for the nationals later this month.”

SOME of the region’s leading footballers have taken a stand against domestic violence in a powerful video message released yesterday as part of the GOTAFE GVFL White Ribbon themed round.

The video, an initiative of AFL Goulburn Murray, sees players representing clubs from all four senior football leagues across the region creating a collective statement declaring domestic violence as unacceptable in our community.

AFL Goulburn Murray Region general manager, Martin Gleeson sees the video as a bold and proactive statement from the football community.

“The video makes a powerful statement to speak out against domestic violence and the role of men to stand up and speak out.

“Football netball clubs are such a central part of their community and this initiative reinforces the role we all play in standing up against an issue which is all too prevalent.

“The support from participating clubs and players was outstanding for this project and it was heartening to see such a strong response from footballers across the region who are more than happy to take a leadership role.

“I would also like to acknowledge Berry Street, Primary Care Connect, Valley Sport, Hume Indigenous Family Violence Regional Action Group, GV CASA, White Ribbon Australia and WIN TV who have all played a part in bringing this project to fruition.”

Primary Care Connect manager clinical services, Kim Scott said, “On average one woman a week is killed in Australia by a current or former partner.

“One in three women has experienced physical and/or sexual violence perpetrated by someone known to them.

“One in four children is exposed to domestic violence, which is a recognised form of child abuse.

“We congratulate AFL Goulburn Murray and the club players involved in this project and we applaud the initiative taken by the commission in recognising the positive role that men play in preventing violence against women.

“These videos will encourage men to speak out against violence against women and challenge the attitudes and behaviours of a minority of men who use or condone violence against women.”
