Traffic signal woes By David Lee SOME locals have expressed concerns over the safety of traffic signals in and around Shepparton’s CBD, with the distance between some, that are heavily utilised by trucks, being just over 100m. One problem area that has been highlighted is along High Street,
between the Wyndham and Maude Street traffic signals. The distance along High Street from the finish of the lights at Wyndham Street to start of the lights at Maude Street is approximately 125m, and with the average length of a B-Double being 25-26m long, it begs the question, Continued on page 17 is there enough time to safely stop?

GV Health Board undergoes restructure AFTER being at the helm of the GV Health Board as chair for six years, Peter Ryan has been succeeded by Rebecca Woolstencroft, but that’s not the only change that the board has undergone through its recent restructure. As well as the new chair appointment, Roslyn Knaggs has resigned from her role as GV Health Board director. GV Health CEO, Trevor Saunders said, “Rebecca brings extensive experience as a Chartered Accountant and CEO of a financial services business. Rebecca has a Bachelor Commerce, Accounting and Business Management and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. “Rebecca has served as a director on several boards, with experience in the health and education sector as a board member and audit chair. Her expertise is in strategic planning, financial
management, business management and governance. “Rebecca is passionate about the local community and has had much involvement through her previous role as a GV Health Foundation Trustee. We welcome Rebecca. “We would like to take this opportunity to thank the former chair, Peter Ryan for his outstanding contribution to GV Health and the community over two terms as chair, since 2011. Peter has been a wonderful leader and realised many achievements for GV Health during his time here. “We thank Roslyn Knaggs for her dedication and commitment to the community and the organisation in the director role since 2010. “Announcements about other changes and appointments to the board for the 2017/18 year are yet to be made,” Trevor said.
NEW CODE OF PRACTICE RELEASED… Dairy farmers have ben given a lifeline after the Australian Dairy Industry Council released the first Dairy Industry Code of Practice for standard form contractual arrangements. Photo: Supplied.
New lifeline for dairy farmers DAIRY farmers have been given a lifeline that would prevent processors from taking advantage of them, following the launch of the Australian Dairy Industry Council’s (ADIC) first Dairy Industry Code of Practice for standard form contractual arrangements. The code is set to include provisions such as there being no price changes made retrospectively and ensuring all farmers receive payment entitlement that accrued over the term of a contract or supply agreement (including any ‘loyalty payments’). The code will also mean that if a processor does not wish to purchase extra milk from a farmer if additional milk has been produced, then the contract between the farmer and processor must allow the dairy farmer to supply the additional milk to other processors. Through consultation with state member organisations, farmers and processors, the ADIC has developed the voluntary code to help ensure greater transparency and fairness in milk supply and pricing. It is anticipated most of the milk produced in Australia will be covered by the code. ADIC interim chair, Terry Richardson said it is important that contracts are fair, simple, realistic and easily understood by both parties. “T he co de w i l l add re s s a ra nge of contrac t ual issues which farmer organisations have been trying to address and rectify for a significant amount of time.
“Both farmers and processors sat down to work together cooperatively and in good faith to establish this code”, Mr Richardson said. ADIC deputy chair, Grant Crothers said, “We believe the code will improve

Volunteers needed to join the fight against cancer GREATER Shepparton City residents are being urged to get involved by volunteering for this year’s Daffodil Day on Friday, August 25 to help fight cancer. Cancer Council Victoria aims to recruit 1,200 volunteers to sell Daffodil Day merchandise at 320 street stalls across Victoria. Cancer Council hopes to raise $1M and local involvement will be vital in reaching the target. 368 Greater Shepparton residents are diagnosed with cancer each year, and volunteers will be helping to support those in their community affected by cancer. Director of fundraising at Cancer Council Victoria, Andrew Buchanan said, “Thanks to events like Daffodil Day we have been able to invest in cancer research and prevention, helping to increase five year survival from 47 percent in 1985 to 67 percent in 2014. “Funds raised through Daffodil Day go towards research, educating the public on ways to prevent cancer, and helping people who are affected by cancer receive support and information. “We still don’t know why some types of cancer develop and significant improvements still need to be made in how we detect and treat these cancers. We cannot do what we do without donations and the help of the community. We encourage everyone to get involved this year!” To volunteer this Daffodil Day, visit www.daffodilday.com. au or phone 1300 656 585. Page 6 – The Adviser.

Indigenous travelling exhibition coming to SAM NATIONAL Gallery of Australia (NGA) travelling exhibition, ‘Resolution: New Indigenous Photomedia’ is coming to the Shepparton Art Museum (SAM), which will display significant work made by Indigenous photographers, video and
multimedia artists over the last five years. Running from August 26 to October 29, the exhibition brings together established and critically acclaimed artists with exciting emerging talent reflecting the diversity and dynamism of contemporary practice. National Gallery of Australia director, Gerard Vaughan said, “Over the last 30 years, the NGA has developed one of the truly great collections of Indigenous photomedia. Resolution ref lects our continuing engagement with this vital aspect of contemporary practice.” SAM director, Dr Rebecca Coates said, “SAM is delighted to present this timely exhibition from the NGA’s collection. The exhibition presents work by leading contemporary Australian Aboriginal artists who examine ideas around Aboriginal identit y, histor y and cult u re. T hese conversations are more pertinent than ever today, at a time when Aboriginal and non-
Aboriginal Australians reflect on our past and present, working together towards a shared future. Resolution speaks to all of us, of all ages and backgrounds.” Yorta Yorta woman, Belinda Briggs (Community Engagement – Indigenous, SA M) sa id , “Re solut ion is a g re at opportunity to engage with a national conversation that can also be seen through a local lens. “Co-curated by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Art and Photography departments of the NGA and drawing on the NGA’s contemporary collections, this exciting exhibition creates space to inquire, discuss, reaffirm, challenge and promote further understandings of history, the present, and the future. “The exhibition’s importance lies in the fact that it brings the stories of Australia’s first peoples to the fore.”
Improvement in on-time performance SHEPPARTON was the top performing line on the V/Line network in June, with punctuality up more than five percentage points last month to 92 percent. Punctuality on the Seymour line also increased, with 89.4 percent of services arriving on time. V/Line CEO, James Pinder said it was pleasing to see an increase on both lines and reliability had once again exceeded the 96 percent reliability target. “On the Shepparton line, we delivered 97.9 percent of services last month and 99.4 perent of Seymour services,” Mr Pinder said. Passengers will benefit from four new Page 8 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1363 Wednesday, July 19, 2017
weekend train services being introduced on the Shepparton and Seymour line when the new V/Line timetable starts in August. This follows the five services for Shepparton added to the timetable in January. “Our north east passengers can look forward to a boost in weekend services in August, with the introduction of two extra services on Saturdays and two on Sundays,” Mr Pinder said. “This will give people more choice on when they want to travel on weekends, particularly if they’re travelling to and from the city for football, entertainment, attractions or visiting family and friends.”

Elgar said, “This initiative promises to bring value to members and is expected to be rapidly adopted. Unfortunately, we also expect that online scammers will be watching the launch, and they will be looking for opportunities. “GMCU recommend the following steps to help make sure online payments are safe… Never disclose your security details such as your PIN or banking password, don’t assume an email, text or phone call is authentic - obtain their phone number from a legitimate source and call them to confirm, don’t be rushed - a genuine organisation won’t mind waiting, listen
to your instincts - you know if something doesn’t feel right and stay in control - don’t panic, and make the right decision.” In a recent UK study, one in four victims of online scams knew immediately they’d made a mistake - never be afraid to ask a friend or family member to check a deal if you feel unsure. GMCU uses a unique programme called Fraud Interceptor to monitor member accounts for unusual transactions. If you want to find out more about banking with GMC U in Shepparton, contact 5821 9033, or visit a branch in Benalla, Echuca, Euroa, Kilmore, Kyabram, Numurkah, Mooroopna or Seymour.

Making a move after 26 years GROUP MEALS NOW AT THE HUB… The Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre will now be holding group meals, normally located at Treacy Street, at the Mooroopna Hub. Photo: Alicia Niglia.
THERE have been some significant changes at Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre (MEAC) with group meals normally located at Treacy Street, now relocating to the Mooroopna Hub. The MEAC program, in partnership with Greater Shepparton City Council, has been running successfully for the past 26 years with the wonderful generosity of volunteers. For the past 15 plus years the meals program has been operating out of the Treacy Street Community Centre as a program of MEAC but in a separate location. However, due to some recent changes, including new parking restrictions, a change of venue was needed. MEAC manager, Sharron Handley said, “It was a big adjustment for everyone but the transition was smooth and the feedback has been great, with everyone handling the changeover very well. The program is now up and running at the Hub and we hope to see it continue for many years to come. “Along with the meals program, almost
all other interest and support groups have also made the transition to the Hub. No MEAC programs now run from Treacy Street and we have said goodbye to a long relationship with the building and the partnership with Ministry of Housing in conjunction with those programs. “By attending the meals program at the Mooroopna Hub, participants can easily access all the other programs on offer and the Hub also houses the library. MEAC runs many seniors health and exercise classes each week and we are welcoming some new faces in these classes. “Thank you everyone for your patience with the transition. Also, please note that MEAC will no longer be the agency for V/ Line, so please take all of your enquiries and ticket purchases to the Mooroopna Newsagency.” For more information, visit the MEAC website at www.meac.com.au, phone 5825 1774 or visit 23 Alexandra Street, Mooroopna.

LOCAL business owner, Gary Harvey told The Adviser that he often sees trucks running the red light at the Maude and High Street intersection as it seems as though they don’t have enough time to stop after passing across Wyndham Street. “You look up after hearing a truck blare its horn as it is going through the lights to warn pedestrians using the lights that they cannot stop,” Gary said. “It might be as simple as synchronising the lights at Wyndham and Maude Street to allow them to move through before it changes because you can clearly see that there’s definitely not enough time for them to stop. “I don’t know if there has ever been an accident at these lights, but if not, it’s only a matter of time.” A VicRoads representative said, “There is no minimum legal distance (that is required to be left between the end and start of a set of traffic signals), however AustRoads outlines that signals should be separated by at least five seconds travel time to provide sufficient time to drivers to process information relating to the traffic, the road layout and traffic signs. “It is preferable that signalised intersections are separated by a distance so that traffic queues from one intersection do not back up through an adjacent intersection and so that safety issues do not arise because of the ‘see-through’ effect, whereby a driver approaching an intersection focuses on the second intersection rather than red lights at the approaching intersection.”

Creating the perfect H S space to relax LET’S face it, during the winter months most of us become homebodies, so why not create that perfect space in your home where you can get away and relax. KEEP IT SIMPLE: To create an in-home getaway, you won’t need a complete room makeover, or even anything exceedingly drastic. Making a few inexpensive changes can make all the difference in how you feel about a space that belongs to you. Just find a spot that’s interruption-free such as a guest bedroom, den or even a large closet and claim the space as your personal sanctuary. SOOTHE WITH COLOUR: Colour is a huge factor in setting the mood and tone for a space. Designers and psychologists agree greens and blues have the most calming effect, but soft tones of lilac, coral and even shades of white can also set the stage for a relaxing environment. CREATE A COSY NOOK: Use existing

furniture to create a cosy nook on a dime. Place your favourite chair near a window with a good view and add a small side table with a decorative lamp. Top it all off with a plush throw and a few soft pillows, and you’ll have a comfy place to sip your morning coffee, read your favourite book or even enjoy the evening sunset.
USE YOUR SENSES: Candles are a great way to inexpensively and easily set a tone for a room. Scents like jasmine and sage are typically calming and soothing because they have warm undertones. Even cinnamon can be soothing in the right context. Citrus scents are known to be invigorating and give a fresh, summery feel to a room. Find creative ways to incorporate your fragrance into your decor. Place candles in a group atop a decorative dish or fill a beautiful glass bowl with colourful potpourri. You can even use products like oil diffusers or flameless candles that fit seamlessly with your home decor, no matter your style.
ESCAPE THROUGH NATURE: For an additional soothing touch, surround yourself with nature. Plants are a good way to induce relaxation. Despite size, their presence in a room is invigorating. Every room should have something earth-themed to merge nature with the indoors.

Making the impossible possible HIS Everest climb will not be the only mountain climb Bobby has undertaken, having already conquered two of the world’s t a l le s t mou nt a i n s , Mou nt Kalapatar and Mera Peak. Bobby said, “I have many connections with the Goulburn Valley area. My father was one of the first Albanians to come to Kyabram/Shepparton and start work on an orchard. “Whilst being treated in the hospital in the early days for my condition, I met a wonderful girl from Cobram, April. She was a shining light and sadly her MS was too much for her and she passed away at the age of 20; this climb is partly for her. “When I was diagnosed with MS, the first thing that came to my mind when I was wheelchair bound and had massive vision problems was that I said to myself one day I’m going to walk to the top of the world and see the blue sky. Now, 38 years later, I will be doing it. “I’m going to be the first person with severe remitting relapsing MS to go up and down Everest in the world, and the oldest person with a disability to reach the top. “I know I’ll make it up and down and will be giving it my best shot. “I’ve been training for seven years for this. Tackling Mount Kalapatar, which is 5,550m high and Mera Peak, which is 6,476m high has been a great help in preparation for Mount Everest. “I’ve been training with Chris Pearce at Fitness First for over five years, and also Darren Burke. They are the best personal trainers in Australia. “I’m one of the most extreme athletes
in the world with a disability. I train for two hours a day at Fitness First; their commitment has been outstanding. “I also train at the Jayco Climate Room at 20,000 feet above sea level at the Jayco factory with Shannon, which is a huge help. I also head to Falls Creek and train in the mountains with disabled winter sports Australian trekkers and can trek for up to 15km a day. “I do that week in and week out, but do often get sick and spend time in hospital for weeks on end and have to start all over again. “I am currently receiving treatment at the National Institute of Integrated Medicine with Professor Avni Sali and Professor Kylie O’Brien. I get acupuncture and spend time in the hyperbaric chamber four times a week. Professor Sali said he’d get my body right for Mount Everest. He is a great sponsor and provides unprecedented support. “As well as Mount Everest I am currently looking into going to the bottom of the world; 36,000 feet below sea level in a submarine. My management team is in talks with Virgin Galactic to get me a seat on SpaceShip Two to take me to the edge of space. “I will be the first person with a disability to get to the top of the world, bottom of the world and out of this world. “Everest, here I come.” To help get him to Mount Everest, Bobby has set up a GoFundMe page and is seeking assistance from the community help in his important quest.

Jacobson shines in Townsville LOCAL supercar racing legend, Garry Jacobson has narrowly missed a podium finish at Race 1 of the Townsville 400 for Round 4 of the Super2 Series Championship. Jacobson had a great start to the weekend, topping the first practice session in Townsville and qualifying third for Race 1. The opening race of the weekend saw Jacobson gain too much wheel spin off the starting line, which dropped him into position six. Jacobson recovered to finish in position four and was overall pleased with the car speed. In Race 2, Jacobson had a tough start to the session, with his right rear damper breaking forcing him to pit, but by the time he could rejoin the session he was four laps down. Additional carnage involving other drivers on the track caused the session to be red flagged, and Jacobson rejoined but finished with a Did Not Finish result.
Jacobson said, “Our qualifying was good, but I still need to work on my race starts. I dropped back a couple of spots at the start of race two and started to get in the zone but I broke a right rear damper. “Sometimes you got to have a couple of bad days before you have a good one so I’m looking forward to the next round already.” Jacobson will prepare for Round 5 of the Super2 Series Championships at the Sydney SuperSprint from August 18 to 20.

Action packed races at MX Nationals in Shepparton THERE were two action packed races at Round 7 of the Motul MX Nationals at Shepparton, with KTM’s Callum Norton taking his second consecutive round victory at one of the most crucial outings of the season. The Pirelli MXD class got its round seven campaign underway with a chilly practice and qualifying session, and with the championship reaching boiling point, it was ‘on’ from the minute bikes hit the surface. With vital championship points up for grabs over the weekend, gate pick was imperative, and it was Yamalube Yamaha Racing Team’s Cody Dyce who secured the first pick of the grid, thanks to a flying 1:34.909 lap time. Second fastest on track was red plate holder Jy Roberts (1:36.473), followed by Husqvarna rider Riley Dukes who set the third quickest time with a 1:36.707 hot lap.
MOTO 1 When the Pirelli MXD bikes left the grid for their first race, it was Pozniak who was the first bike through the raceline turn, followed by Roberts and Yamaha mounted Dyce. Unfortunately for Raceline Pirelli KTM’s Fogarty, a small crash on the opening lap saw him lose significant positions; the KTM rider then forced to re-join the race in dead last place, and with a job on his hands if he was fighting his way through the field throughout the opening 20-minute moto. Only moments after Fogarty went down, Roberts also got cross rutted after moving
into the race lead, and what was only a small mistake then paved the way for title threat Dyce to move into the Pirelli MXD top spot. Immediately after Dyce had taken the lead, KTM’s Norton began to apply the pressure on Roberts for second, and thanks to sharp focus and perfect line selection, the KTM rider made the move on Roberts and snatched up second place. After only six laps, the MXD class had dished out plenty of carnage, with competitors being caught out all over the place by the challenging Shepparton circuit, but Dyce continued to look smooth and comfortable in the lead, while Norton and Roberts continued to maintain the remaining podium positions behind him. By the halfway mark in race one, Dukes had made his way into third and relegated red plate holder Roberts to fourth, while behind the number #100 Husqvarna machine, Pozniak, Bulk Nutrient WBR Yamaha rider Hugh McKay, and Liam Walsh continued to battle it out for positions within the top five. With only a handful of laps to remaining, Dukes went down whilst battling for third, slipping from a podium position back to 12th. And when the chequered flag flew after 20 minutes it was Dyce who not only kept his Yamaha upright, but navigated the rutty Shepparton circuit for 13 gruelling laps to collect the first MXD victory of the day. Second place in race one went to KTM mounted Norton, while championship leader Roberts held on to finish in third. Pozniak and McKay completed the top five, while Jai

Constantinou, Isaac Ferguson, Brodie Ellis, Fogarty and Walsh all rounded out race one inside the MXD top ten.
MOTO 2 By the time race two kicked off for the Pirelli MXD class, the temperature had plummeted at Shepparton, adding yet another element for competitors to contend with. When gates dropped it was Roberts who secured the final Raceline holeshot, but after a nightmare first moto Fogarty was out for redemption and moved into the race lead after only a handful of turns. But disaster struck the KTM rider after only a lap – whilst battling for the lead Fogarty’s bike locked up, and unfortunately the young rider was forced to return to the pits on foot, recording a DNF in the final moto of the day. With Fogarty out of the final race, Husqvarna mounted Roberts and KTM’s Norton checked out on the field, leaving the likes of Dukes, Yamalube Yamaha Racing’s Dyce and Pozniak to battle for positions behind him. But in what was the trend at round seven, the drama continued. After four laps, word was received that race leader Roberts had received a 15 second ‘in-race’ penalty, seeing him drop back to fourth place in the official standings, and with significant time to make up throughout the remaining 12 minutes. With Robert’s officially relegated by 15 seconds, Norton became the new race leader, followed by Dukes, while the number 100 red
plate holder Roberts moved up to third. By the halfway mark in the final Pirelli MXD moto, Norton continued to lead from Roberts, who had made up enough time to slot into second place, third position was occupied by Dukes, followed by Dyce, Pozniak, Barham, Ellis and Josh Tredinnick. With 16 minutes run, Dyce had moved into second place, the Yamaha rider doing everything he could in order to snatch up as many championship points as possible before the MXD class wraps up their championship at the following round. When riders received the last lap board, it was official race leader Norton looked flawless and ready to take the race win, while behind him Dyce, Roberts and Dukes were all vying for the final podium positions. And when the chequered flag flew for the final time at Shepparton, Norton secured the last race win of the day, second place went to Dyce, followed by Roberts who’s ‘in race’ penalty pushed him back to third. Dukes and Barham wrapped up race two in fourth and fifth places respectively, followed by Pozniak, Ellis, Ferguson, Jye Dickson, and McKay who completed the top ten. With 2,1 race results it was Norton who left Shepparton with his second consecutive round win, second place on the Pirelli MXD podium went to Yamalube Yamaha Racing’s Dyce, while championship leader Roberts concluded Round 7 in third. Roberts now leads the Pirelli MXD title chase by five points with a single round remaining.

BATTLE FOR PREMIERSHIP SPOT… A win this week from the clash between the Euroa Magpies or Shepparton Bears could see them in the running for this year’s premiership title. Photo: Supplied.
Playing for second? YES, this week’s blockbuster between Euroa and Shepparton is for second spot but both clubs now know after narrow losses to the mighty Bombers, they are more than capable of winning this year’s premiership. A win this week would give a massive amount of confidence to the victors. We all know the Magpies at Memorial Oval are extra hard to topple so the Bears will need to be ready and bounce back from last week. Euroa hasn’t been in the best of form in the last month and have not kicked more than 10 goals in a game for 6 weeks. They will need all hands on deck and need to kick a score. Will McFarlane, Brad
Cunningham, Matthew Ivill and Ryley Bjorksten will need to kick multiple goals and coach, Nathan Gilliland knows this. While Shepparton only kicked seven goals last week in tricky conditions, they have genuine fire power in James Wong while the classy Joel Brett has seven goals in two weeks and looks the goods. Plenty of classy ball use with the likes of Rowan Hiscock and Mitchell Brett has the betting leaning towards the Bears. It’s going to be a beauty and a win could give either the confidence to go all the way this year. The worry is … can Euroa kick a winning score? I’m sticking with the Magpies to restrict the Bears on their home deck and secure second spot.
