Emergency services ready for big ball

By David Lee IT ISN’T often that emergency service workers get the chance to mingle in a social environment, and being able to do so all for a good cause makes it even more special.

Our local emergency service workers and their partners will get the chance to do exactly that at the upcoming 000 Charity Ball.

On July 28 members of Shepparton Search and Rescue, CFA, GV Health’s Emergency Department, Police, Ambulance and SES will come together for the third consecutive year, to raise funds for a chosen charity.

GV Health Emergency Department clinical nurse, Meaghan Thompson said, “Last year we raised over $15,000 for Connect GV and our first year we raised funds for Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation.

“This year we will be donating proceeds to the Greater Shepparton Branch of the Blue Ribbon Foundation, who help to provide support for police officers who have been killed in the line of duty.

“This is all for a good cause, allowing us to give back and support the community.

“We are seeking donations of any kind or support from businesses who wish to donate towards the auction on the night.”

Shepparton CFA Senior Station Officer, Leigh Allan said, “Emergency services work in quite stressful situations and don’t often

Lights shine on road safety across Victoria H S ROAD safety will be under the spotlight this week as iconic buildings across the state glow yellow to support the thousands of Victorians affected by road trauma.

The Transport Accident Commission joined Road Trauma Support Services Victoria, VicRoads and road safety advocate Kerry Norton to mark the start of the fifth Shine a Light on Road Safety campaign.

Ms Norton lost her husband, Rick and their only child, Shani, 4-years-old, in a head-on crash in 1997. Ms Norton is sharing her story to encourage people to make safe decisions when driving and stop the devastating effects of road trauma.

The campaign coincides with National Road Safety Week (April 30 – May 6) and aims to encourage Victorians to pause and think about the decisions they make while driving.

Landmarks across the state will be illuminated in yellow throughout the week including the Bolte Bridge, Melbourne Star, Frankston Arts

Centre and the Giant Koala at Dadswell Bridge.

Hundreds of people are also set to walk around Albert Park Lake as part of the annual community walk to honour everyone who has died on the state’s roads.

Victorian drivers and riders are also encouraged to turn on their headlights during the day this Friday, May 4 and show their commitment to road safety.

TAC Road Safety Lead Director Samantha Cockfield said any life lost on the state’s roads was too many and there was still a long way to go to reach zero.

“It’s important for us to remember the people who have died on our roads and think about what we can do to keep ourselves and others safe on the roads,” Ms Cockfield said.

“We all have a role to play to improve road safety on Victoria’s roads and to ensure no one is killed or seriously injured on our roads,” she said.

Cameron Sinclair said it is vital the community share the responsibility for stopping deaths and injuries on Victoria’s roads.

“We must also come together in support of the people in our midst who live with the reality of road trauma. The road toll reaches far beyond the number of deaths and injuries counted each year,” Mr Sinclair said.

Monash professor to deliver

biennial heritage lecture LECTURE SURE TO INTEREST LOCALS… The Greater Shepparton Biennial Bruce Wilson (pictured, Dec.) Memorial Heritage Lecture will be held on May 10 at the Shepparton Senior Citizens’ Centre.

THE Greater Shepparton Biennial Bruce Wilson Memorial Heritage Lecture will be held on May 10 at the Shepparton Senior Citizens’ Centre with Professor Graeme Davison presenting the lecture this year.

Emeritus Professor Graeme Davison AO, Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor from Monash University, will tell the story of how heritage awareness and heritage protection slowly developed in this state with his lecture ‘The Past Around Us: How Victoria Saved its Heritage.’

Professor Davison was a member from 1976 of the Historic Buildings Preservation

Council of Victoria, forerunner of today’s Heritage Council and Heritage Victoria.

This body was established in tandem with Victoria’s first heritage legislation, to oversee heritage protection. Subsequently Professor Davison chaired its replacement, the Historic Buildings Council of Victoria, from 1983-1986.

He has continued to be involved in and write extensively on many aspects of heritage, and has become its de facto historian. Professor Davison has a long and distinguished career in Australian history, reflected in the honorary title bestowed on him by Monash University.

G re ater Sheppa r ton C it y C ou nci l Director of Sustainable Development, Geraldine Christou said how fortunate council has been in obtaining the services of Professor Davison, and urges all those interested in or wondering about heritage to attend the lecture.

“It will give people greater understanding of and insight into how heritage protection came about and why it is important to conserve the heritage of our local area,” Ms Christou said.

Council’s Heritage Advisory Committee initiated and planned the lecture series which will be held twice, at 1pm and 6pm, to allow people who may not be able to attend during the day to come at the later time.

Cottage opens new 10 bed facility The Adviser would like to apologise for the incorrect printing of the order of names in the photo caption for this story when it appeared originally on Page 6 of our edition that came out on Wednesday, April 25.

By David Lee RECENTLY, The Cottage in Shepparton celebrated 55 of its clients taking the road to recovery and launched a new, 10 bed facility.

Originally established in June 2017 in an attempt to address the drug and alcohol problem in the region, the facility utilises the well established 12 steps to freedom methodology and leverages off Shepparton’s well resourced alcohol and drug services and the team at The Cottage are pleased

with the developing culture of empowered self-leadership.

The new facility features builds on the organisation’s other two properties, bringing the total capacity to 23 beds. The facilities are offered to men and women who are willing to go to any length to transform their lives and become free from addiction.

Secretary and founder, Rob Bryant said, “The Cottage staff relate from their own experience to each clients needs and ensure clients connect with services and communities as required. We take a holistic approach.

“Our philosophy stems from work with The Hunger Project (thp.org) whereby they see the hungry not as the problem but the solution. Empowerment is the key.

“We are a transformational self leadership model and wherever possible have clients take responsibility for their own lives.”

General manager, Joshua Simm said, “We

seem to be on to something good at The Cottage. What allows people to recover is their willingness and the great alcohol and other drug treatment services Shepparton has on offer.”

Information on The Cottage can be accessed online at www.thecottage.org.au or by phoning Joshua Simm on 0499 989 741.

The Cottage resident, Sam said, “The Cottage changed my life dramatically, I now have the connection with my daughter that I always wanted and my family are there, they always were but I was lost. I was only going to stay for a short time but as time went on I ended up staying for the whole 16 weeks.”

The Cottage resident, Tye said, “It’s an awesome program, they all know what you’re going through.”

The Cottage resident, Brenna said, “It’s a great place for recovery, like a home away from home….this is a program that will change your life” HELPING ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY… From left, The Cottage residents, Brenna Freakley and Tye Atkinson, operations manager, Joshua Simm, residents, Kathleen Sailor and Tim Ridgeway at the opening of the organisation’s new 10 bed facility in Shepparton recently.

Wendy wins

$10,000!

Shop local giveaway promotion draws in record entries

WHEN asked what she would purchase with her winnings, Wendy said she would love some new furniture...a new lounge suite, and the winnings would help ‘kick start some renovations.’

She also said she would love to go on a holiday to Tasmania.

Over the course of the six weeks of the shop local promotion, the community was given the opportunity to enter at over 160 local participating businesses, with each entry given the chance to win one of the promotion’s weekly $1,000 prizes and the grand $10,000 prize.

As well leaning into the fruit bin to draw the major prize winner, Mayor Kim O’Keeffe also drew out the four final consolation prize winners, each of whom has walked away with a $1,000 GMCU debit card.

The first drawn consolation prize winner was Jenny Carter of Shepparton, who spent

Jenny said, “Oh my god. This is wonderful.

Our third consolation prize winner was Lauren Sherlock from Shepparton, who spent $25 at Riverside Gardens. Lauren said, “You have got to be jocking. I am very surprised.”

The final consolation prize draw winner for 2018 was Meg Broomfield from Mansfield, who spent $27 at SPC Factory Sales. Meg said, “Oh…this is amazing. I never win prizes.”

The staff member who signed a winning entry and was drawn as the staff prize winner was Kathy Khongsthidporn from Proud Traditional Thai Massage. Kathy said, “Thank you very much.”

GMCU general manager, René Deen said, “To be up again from last year’s number of entries is such a fantastic outcome…we had just over 7,000 additional entries compared with last year, which means people are really getting behind the shop local ideal.

“The GMCU is all about shopping local and supporting the local community and local businesses and we are proud to be involved in such a promotion that encourages people to supporting local businesses and be given the chance to be rewarded for doing so.

“We’d like to congratulate all of this year’s winners and a special congratulations to Wendy Barton for being drawn as the lucky major prize winner for this year.”

The Adviser managing director, Geoff Adams said, “The support of the GMCU throughout the promotion is something that

the community should be proud of. They have been on board helping to promote shopping local in Shepparton for many years and that is something we are delighted to see.

“There is nothing more important than shopping local and for the local community to continue supporting the many wonderful businesses we have throughout Greater Shepparton.

“The record number of entries we received this year goes to show that even more people are spending their money locally, which is great.

“We’d like to thank the community for their involvement and continuing to make this important promotion such a success and a hearty congratulations goes to Wendy Barton and our many winners during the last few weeks from the GMCU and The Adviser.”

Kim O’Keeffe said, “It is important to see that local businesses are supported so strongly through such a successful promotion, which is helping to support all of the participating businesses.

“It provides a great opportunity to showcase the many fantastic businesses we have in Greater Shepparton in such a positive way.

“I’d like to thank the local community for their support and for the sponsors, GMCU and The Adviser for running such a great initiative.

“It’s great for attracting people to shop locally and to come into Greater Shepparton and support local businesses.

“I’d like to congratulate all of this year’s weekly winners and for the major prize draw winner.”

Africa

IT’S like no other place on earth. The animals, safaris and the people, Africa keeps calling you back and for many local Rotarians the challenge has been to set up an orphanage in Kenya.

Three members of Numurkah Rotary, Stephen Mills, Kate Hodge and Julie Andrew recently returned after spending time at the Umoja Orphanage in Kenya.

The orphanage has been built from the ground up. The project was started by the Bundaberg Sunrise Rotary Club and has gained support from clubs in the Goulburn Valley and has now reached the stage that the first accommodation unit has been built catering for 11 children aged from 12 months to 11 years.

The next stage is to build four more units to cater for the many children that can find themselves abandoned on the streets.

Stephan Mills says that local government agencies encourage the project due to the large number of children in need.

On each visit the Rotarians take much needed medical supplies and other items of need including shoes, reading glasses and some clothing, not just for the orphanage but also for the local community as well.

Visiting nurses such as Julie conduct health clinics for the community and as part of six monthly visits by volunteers try to bring enough supplies so the locals can look after themselves.

Kate, who is a vet, has been to Umoja twice and on her first visit was amazed at the good heath of the animals in the wild but this time following drought some were in poor condition but all should be well when the rains come.

Umoja is self-sufficient with its own cattle Page 24 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1403 Wednesday, May 2, 2018

and vegetable gardens, but still needs donation if it is to grow. Both Stephan and Kate would encourage any donation to Umoja through Numurkah Rotary.

While in Africa both Stephan and Kate took time to do some local tourism. Stephen visited Botswana and was amazed at the Okavango Delta, which is the largest Delta in the world.

Using dugout canoes you go on safari seeing heaps of animals along the way. Your guide uses a poll to push the canoe along and the elephants, hippopotamus and bird life were amazing.

One of the most dangerous animals is the hippopotamus. They can come up under the canoe and attack with their powerful jaws.

Stephens guide on reaching clear water would push the canoe as fast as he could to reach the protection of the reeds.

After finishing at the orphanage both Stephan and Kate decided to visit Rwanda and see the mountain gorillas. They climbed for about an hour and there they were a family of 25 gorillas ranging in age from babies up to the full grown silverback.

Kate says you hear them before you see them as the silverback drums on his chest. It costs US$750 dollars to see them but it’s well worth it.

Stephan says they were very close to the gorillas and he was surprised when the silverback brushed past him. It was just an incredible experience.

Back in the Goulburn Valley, Stephen, Kate and Julie are continuing their work for Umoja as there is so much more to be done.

Until next time, Safe Travl’n, Geoff Vallance

EUROA V ECHUCA… The match to watch this week is between Echuca and Euroa. Will the Magpies come out on top? Photo: Bailey Opie Photography.

Make or break THIS week’s match of the round features two clubs who have big expectations this year.

Echuca versus Euroa at Victoria Park Echuca will be an absolute ripper and the winner can lay claim to be a challenger to the Kyabram Bombers.

Echuca’s loss last week was marred by bad kicking and with two goals 11 behinds at half time. You could say they almost kicked themselves off the game and the end result suggested they did.

Former Carlton star, Andrew Walker has been brilliant so far for Echuca in 2018 and will need to be watched along with Simon Buckley and James McNamara who kicked three goals last week.

The Magpies would be disappointed with the loss to Benalla last week with

goal kicking being an issue for them also.

Gleeson, Varley, Harrison and Hayes are in good form and evergreen, Craig Bamford is dangerous around goals.

Euroa know they are the real deal but need to win these types of games to stay in touch with the top three and Echuca want to make their, Victoria Park home a fortress as it once was.

It will be a close one but the Magpies will get the chocolates, just.

In other games, Benalla will be too strong for Mooroopna at Mooroopna, Rochester coming off a great win over Tatura will account for Seymour at Moon Oval, Mansfield at home will just pip Tatura and the Shepparton Swans will have its work cut out against raging flag favourites Kyabram at Princess Park.

Bushrangers prevail against Rebels THE Murray Bushrangers have secured their fourth consecutive victory with a 17 point win against the Greater Western Victoria Rebels at RAMS Arena at Craigieburn. After again having a slow start to trail at quarter time, the Bushrangers were able to stay in the contest and lead at half time by five points.

They extended the lead to 18 points midway through the third quarter however the Rebels fought back and trailed by just one point at three quarter time. In a tight last quarter, the Bushrangers briefly lost the lead before gaining momentum in the final 10 minutes to win by 17 points. The match was hard fought with the Murray team having to fight back several times to stay in the contest.

Ely Smith (Yarrawonga) continued his solid form with a best on ground for the Bushrangers. His inside midfield contested possessions was a highlight and he scored a

crucial goal with three minutes remaining to put the Bushies 10 points ahead. Lachlan Ash (Shepparton) and Ajak Dang (Mooroopna) continued their excellent TAC Cup form, featuring highly amongst the disposals and kicking efficiency as they transitioned the ball from half back through the midfield. Versatile big man, Jacob Koschitzke (Albury) took multiple contested marks across the ground and kicked a goal to keep the Rebels at arms length.

Another strong performer was Jye Chalcraft (Shepparton United) who continues to impress with his contested possessions and has played through the midfield and across half forward with great effect. Kyle Clarke (Shepparton United) is transitioning well from defender to midfielder and took multiple contested marks at crucial stages in the game. Laitham Vandermeer (Mooroopna) also provided

considerable skill and speed whilst playing in the unfamiliar defending role.

This weekend, the Murray Bushrangers have a TAC Cup Development Weekend, which sees all TAC Cup teams having a bye

to allow most of their players to return to represent their home clubs at local level.

Players will be monitored for workload and wellbeing before a decision on their local club football is finalised.

MBCM Northern Country Women’s League kicks off THE 2018 MBCM Northern Country Women’s League (NCWL) season kicks off in earnest this Sunday.

Following the success of the inaugural 2017 season the league has split with AFL Central Victoria and will welcome two new clubs to the fold.

MBCM NCWL chairman, Chris Thomas is looking forward to the new season getting underway.

“This is the first year with a Goulburn Murray region specific women’s league, after a great start when our foundation teams started last season, combining with AFL Central Victoria to launch our first season,” Thomas said.

“Such was the growth in popularity, and interest from extra teams, both regions were able to separate into their own

unique women’s league competitions for this season.

“And so we welcome new teams, Nathalia and Rumbalara to join our current clubs Benalla Saints, Shepparton, Mooroopna, Echuca and Kerang as female football takes another massive stride forward in 2018.

“The Mass Nutrition Cup, our new pre season competition, was a massive success, and provided a great innovative platform to have all the teams in one area, play competitive matches and launch the new season with a big gala day.

“This season has also expanded from the 2017 edition with extra games added following feedback from the clubs, who were keen to start earlier than last year. This follows an expanded youth girls competition in the Shepparton and

Districts Junior Football League and is a further reinforcement of the pathway development in female football.

“In a great showcase for our league’s best talent we are also introducing an interleague program and our selectors will pick a NCWL representative team to play against the Central Victorian League on July 15 in Bendigo.

“In the first round of matches Mass Nutrition Cup premiers Shepparton host newcomers Rumbalara on Sunday at Kialla Park Recreation Reserve, Nathalia travel to Benalla Saints to make their NCWL debut whilst Kerang host Mooroopna.

Echuca receive the bye first up.”

Rolfe steps down from commission chairman role A F T ER five years at the helm A F L Goulburn Murray Commission chairman, Nicholas Rolfe has resigned.

Rolfe had been the chairman of the com mission since its inception af ter previously being chairman of the Victorian Country Football League since 2004.

Rolfe acknowledged his change in home life was the main factor in his decision.

“I have recently moved house to Sutton Grange near Castlemaine and am therefore unable to give the appropriate levels of commitment to the Goulburn Murray Commission,” Rolfe said.

“Despite the view of some, the purpose of the commission is to assist our affiliates with the ‘growing of the game’ in the local area.

“Believe it or not we are all on the same side! Ultimately the ability of a local commission to make local decisions on

behalf of local affiliates has to be for the betterment of country football.

“Finally, I would like to thank Martin for an outstanding effort which at times has placed him under significant strain. I would also like to thank my fellow commissioners for their support and wisdom over the journey.

“As our involvement has increased so has the staff, and many thanks to them for the passion and concern that they bring to the table.

“We are all custodians of the game and I leave firmly believing that the game is in good shape in the Goulburn Murray.

“Fortunately, an opportunity has opened up for me to join the Central Victoria Commission and I am looking forward to the next challenge.”

AFL Goulburn Murray Region general

manager, Mar tin Gleeson applauded Rolfe’s enormous impact on the game’s administration.

“Nicholas has played an instrumental part in the setting up of the governance of AFL Goulburn Murray,” Gleeson said.

“Under his chairmanship the commission has grown significantly from its beginning to a fully functional organisation supporting the administration of seven leagues and as the governing body for the strategic growth and development of football and netball in the region.

“The region’s first strategic plan has just been completed, participation numbers continue to grow in the younger age groups, league administrative structures have been streamlined with considerable cost savings and increased revenues achieved and there are now strategic plans in place for coaching

and to continue the exponential growth of female football.

“There are still some significant challenges in the region around youth age groups and senior playing structures but Nicholas’ is able to leave the commission in significantly better shape than when it commenced.

“On a personal level I would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank Nicholas for his support and guidance over the past five years.

“His experience in, and knowledge of, the football world is extraordinary and it has been very helpful to be able to draw on and learn from.

“His forthright manner and humour will be missed and I’m sure I speak on behalf of other commissioners in thanking him and recognising his contribution.”

Sheed says Opposition rail pledge welcome but is it enough?

INDEPENDENT Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed says an Opposition election promise to invest in Shepparton’s train line is welcome, but says it needs to be fully costed by the Parliament’s Budget Office.

Ms Sheed said she had been working closely with the government throughout the development of the Regional Network Development Plan and since to advocate for a full suite of appropriate rail services for the Shepparton district and said she was concerned the Liberal National Coalition’s $77M would not fund the extent of work required.

Ms Sheed said, “Rail has been my number one priority since entering Parliament so it is pleasing to finally see the major parties paying attention to the needs of our community, but I am concerned this figure will not be enough to achieve what they have pledged.

“It is my understanding that to complete all the necessary works to reach a minimum of eight high-quality return services each day, we’re talking in the hundreds of millions, not the tens of millions.

“It’s costing the current government $43.5M to simply upgrade stabling facilities in Shepparton, create a passing loop and add

a fifth daily service – it seems logical that the cost of upgrading nearly 100km of tracks, modernising the signalling systems and doing works on more than 30 level crossings will require much more money than the Coalition has pledged.”

Ms Sheed urged the Opposition to have the works costed by the new Parliamentary Budget Office.

“Victoria’s first Parliamentary Budget Officer was appointed last week and is now available for preparing election policy costings,” Ms Sheed said.

“It would be excellent if the Opposition could submit this election promise for review so we can all be assured of what that money could realistically deliver well in advance of the election in November.”

Ms Sheed also called on the government to make its own commitment to fully overhaul the region’s rail service.

“I have made it clear to the government that rail is of utmost importance to our community and with the final budget of this Parliamentary term due this week, I would hope to see that message reflected in a strong funding commitment.”
