The donation will go towards developing the ‘Rotary Club of Shepparton Garden Courtyard’ at the new facility, which will be one of four light filled internal courtyards in the new building. The garden courtyard will house a dozen self-watering raised garden beds, some excellent passive landscaping, and will allow for residents to grow their own. Shepperton Villages CEO, Kerri Rivett said this courtyard will be an area of high resident engagement and will house a goodsized storage shed at the northern end.

Urgent need for O-Negative blood donors THE Blood Service is urging people with O-Negative blood to make a donation as the organisation’s reserves of the type dips to just two days’ supply. A n extra 4,500 O -Negative blood donations are needed this month to help boost Blood Service stocks up to normal levels. An increase in demand for O Negative blood, combined with a drop-off in donor numbers due to cold and flu symptoms, is behind the decline in supply. During cold and flu season, sickness leads to as many as 1,000 cancelled donations per week. Spokesman, Shau n I ng uan zo said the Blood Service was calling on 4,500 additional O-Negative donors to come forward and give blood between now and the end of July to help bolster supplies. “O -Negative is a universal blood

Car park still unkept By David Lee THE multi-deck car park in Shepparton’s CBD is still looking unkept, despite CarePark telling The Adviser they were going to be undertaking improvement works throughout May.

painting improvement works within the car park. A CarePark spokesperson said, “We are currently putting a schedule in place for this car park. “Cleaning of the car park will take place within the next few weeks. This is the first stage of the upgrade schedule to be undertaken.”

Police calling on community to hear safety issues POLICE in Greater Shepparton have just launched a community engagement initiative to gather insight and information about safety issues affecting the Greater Shepparton community. Commencing with an online launch on June 27, the engagement will now be delivered as part of the Community Safety Networks, a partnership project between the Victorian community, Victoria Police, Victorian Government, Crime Stoppers Victoria and Neighbourhood Watch. The Community Safety Networks will support police and community understanding of local crime issues, influence local policing priorities and deliver community safety improvement projects. The online launch will lead to face-to-face police and community engagement in the shopping precinct, schools, Shepparton V/Line station and community events such as the CoolHeads program. These will be conversations with local residents, business owners, youth and commuters about the safety issues that affect them the most. Inspector, Troy Hargadon said police were always looking to increase their connections with the local community. “It’s an opportunity for the community to have a say on the key issues within Greater Shepparton,” Inspector Hargadon said. “We know that people have great insight into their local community and ideas about other ways to prevent crime. “Issues identified will form the development of projects and initiatives to help improve community safety.” Greater Shepparton community members can also contribute to the conversation through https://engage.vic. gov.au/

Katandra West deserves black spot fix INDEPENDEN T Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed says black spot issues at Katandra West must be fixed as a priority. Ms Sheed said the Katandra West community had been disadvantaged by poor mobile coverage for too long and deserved a better deal. Ms Sheed met with several residents and the Minister for Innovation and the Digital Economy, Philip Dalidakis, in Shepparton recently to discuss the town’s concerns. “I have heard time and time again how inadequate the phone service is in that part of the electorate and the Katandra West community have been strong advocates for change so I was very pleased that the Minister accepted my invitation to hear from them first hand,” Ms Sheed said.

“In today’s day and age, access to communications technology should be no less a right than access to essential services such as water, gas and electricity. “Black spots are not a mere inconvenience. They impact people’s safety in times of emergency, they affect people’s capacity to run businesses, to advance their education or to stay connected with their friends and families. “All residents in Shepparton district deserve a service they can rely on and I am confident the Minister heard that message loud and clear. “I understand the government is due to announce a range of locations for new mobile towers in the coming months and I will continue to advocate for Katandra West to have a place on that list at every opportunity.”

New campaign shows life-saving barriers in action A NEW Transport Accident Commission (TAC) campaign is showing the lifesaving capabilities of flexible safety barriers. At the forefront of the campaign is footage of a controlled collision with a centreline barrier on a high-speed regional road, which replicates a common fatigue crash. The campaign, ‘Safety Barriers Save Lives,’ also features testimonials from two of the thousands of Victorians who have avoided serious crashes thanks to flexible safety barriers. The new television ad, voiced over by a real crash survivor, shows footage of a centre-line barrier absorbing the forces of a Ford Territory travelling at 90km/h, preventing a head-on collision. The vehicle, driven by a stunt driver, hits the barrier and slows by 32km/h in six metres before the driver applies brakes, as if waking up from a micro-sleep, and brings the vehicle to a safe and controlled stop.

Page 6 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1412 Wednesday, July 4, 2018

TAC road safety director, Samantha Cockfield said, “Showing the public footage of how these barriers work will help us continue to educate Victorians that zero lives lost is possible, which is what Towards Zero is all about. “Road safety experts viewed the barrier crash test in real time and have taken away crash data that will help refine barriers further, allowing them to be used more widely across the road system.” VicRoads deputy CEO, Robyn Seymour said, “This footage shows exactly why we’re installing around 2,000km of flexible safety barriers across Victoria – because they save lives.” Last year, 109 of the 155 people who died on Victorian rural roads were in vehicles that left their lane and crashed into roadside trees or poles, or another vehicle. Research shows flexible barriers reduce these types of crashes from happening by more than 85 percent.

IS COUNCIL WASTING RATEPAYERS’ MONEY?

Dear Editor, I want to talk about the council wasting ratepayers’ money (on the Maude Street Mall) when quite a few ratepayers want to see free parking introduced. Maybe that could come up at one of your meetings to give ratepayers free parking and also free trips to the tip. Free parking will see more people in shops to spend their money. Yours sincerely, Maureen Trinder Shepparton

THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE MALL Dear Editor, Unfortunately, I consider the four present proposals for the redevelopment of the mall as sheer financial and business madness. The cost of $15M to $18M is out of this world, and will not make much difference to the traders or public. Malls no longer work. Certainly, what is there needs to be greatly improved. Any state or federal funding would still leave at least $6M to be found by the ratepayers and this would be on top of the debt for the new SAM. I believe The Mall is a failure and cannot be saved as a mall. It needs a lot of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and free timed parking.

Shepparton does not need a mall. I believe what should be done is as follows, 1.Retain the existing base and footpaths. 2.Have single-lane, two-way, slow moving (20kph) traffic between High Street and Fryers Street, with bitumen covering the concrete of the road. 3.Have parallel parking (as much parking as possible). 4.The wide footpaths be covered with an attractive coating, and the former mall be made more attractive overall. 5.The existing children’s playground be moved to Fraser Street where the lawn is now, and the eastern half of Fraser Street to become ‘The Mall.’ 6.The multideck be made more attractive with painting, lighting, accessibility, and signage, and traffic lights at Corio Street. 7. Incidentals like improved drainage and electricity can be taken care of. 8. The council remove parking meters from the CBD and budget accordingly for free, timed parking. 9. The wide, attractive footpaths would be used for coffee areas, etc. Two bollards for each verandah post. The estimated cost of my proposals is $4M or less, and would produce a good result and could proceed very soon. Yours sincerely, Marshall Richards Shepparton

MAKING WAY FOR NEW MEMORIES… St. Mel’s students and teachers pictured in front of St. Mel’s oldest building before demolition began. Photo: Supplied.

What’s going on in Archer Street? By Nicholise Garner ONLOOKERS may have noticed recent developments at St. Mel’s Primary School. Just as one building has opened its doors, the oldest school building is currently being demolished. On the last school day of term two, current students and staff of St. Mel’s Primary School were pictured in front of the old ‘senior’ building prior to it being demolished over the school holidays. St. Mel’s deputy principal, Wendy Baldwin said, “This building was the original church at St Mel’s. In its first years, regularly of a Friday afternoon it was converted from classrooms to the church and then back to classrooms again each Monday morning. We’ve also been told that the Italian community used to use the building for dances on a Friday night for many years. The building held a lot of history and

memories for all the generations of children and families that have shared their journey at St. Mel’s. “Although sad that we are losing that history in the form of a solid building, we are very pleased with our brand new learning centre (The O’Reilly Building) that has been purpose built to suit our modern teaching methods and where many new memories will be created.” The site where the building stood will be landscaped with play areas for the students to enjoy. Wendy said, “We hope to use some of the bricks from the old building in the landscaping of the new area but that will depend on the quality of the bricks that are left behind.” Current St. Mel’s students will be involved in the ongoing evolution of the new area with opportunities to plant and decorate the site.

Recent community grants awarded H S THE Greater Shepparton Connected Community is a board made up of local community members looking to make a difference. The board is proudly sponsored by the Bendigo Bank Shepparton. Bendigo Bank customer relationship officer, Bridget Dwyer said, “When Bendigo Bank customers ‘tag’ their accounts as a Connected Community account, the Bendigo Bank donates a portion of bank profits to the Greater Shepparton Connected Community fund. This payment is completely separate from customer banking and in no way impacts the account owner’s funds in the bank. The money that is paid to the Greater Shepparton Connected Community fund is then distributed to community groups who apply for funding via the grant application process.” For more information about Greater Shepparton Connected Community and the Bendigo Bank, visit www. sheppartoncc.com or follow Greater Shepparton Connected Community on Facebook for updates on grant projects as well as information around when grants open.

EXERCISE TO REDUCE RISK… A new study has indicated that the risk of heart failure can be reduced in middle-aged people if they take up an exercise regime. Photo: Supplied.

Exercise may reverse heart damage AUSTRALIAN researchers say a new study has shown middle-aged people with sedentary lifestyles may reduce or reverse the risk of heart failure associated with years of sitting by participating in two years of regular aerobic exercise. First author and Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute researcher, Dr Erin Howden said participants who stuck to the aerobic exercise regimen had significant improvements in how their body utilised oxygen and had decreased cardiac stiffness after two years, both markers of a healthier heart. Dr Howden, part of the Baker Institute’s Sports Cardiology and Metabolic and Vascular Physiology Labs said the result was a reversal of decades of a sedentary lifestyle on the heart for most of the American based study participants. “Low fitness in middle-age, in people right around the world, is a strong predictor of future risk of heart failure and is associated with increased cardiac stiffness, a potential precursor to heart failure. However, waiting until heart failure develops or older age cements the effects of a sedentary lifestyle and by then it may be too late to reverse any damage. Page 16 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1412 Wednesday, July 4, 2018

“This study demonstrates that prolonged (two years) exercise training, initiated in middle-age, can forestall the deleterious effects of sedentary ageing by reducing cardiac stiffness and increasing fitness.” The study analysed the hearts of 53 middle-aged adults who were healthy but sedentary at the start of the study, meaning they tended to sit most of the time. Study participants received either two years of training, including high and moderate intensity aerobic exercise four or more days a week (exercise group), or they were assigned to a control group, which engaged in yoga, balance training and weight training three times a week for two years. “Sedentary behaviours, such as sitting for long periods of time, increase the likelihood of the heart muscle shrinking and stiffening in late-middle age and increases the risk of developing heart failure,” Dr Howden said. “We’ve also found that the ‘sweet spot’ in life to get off the couch and start regular exercise is in late-middle age, when the heart still has plasticity and this applies to people right around the world including Australia.”

Empowering our elderly to take charge of the conversation ACCORDING to nation-wide research conducted by leading Victorian consumer health advocate, the Health Issues Centre (HIC) a wide-scale reluctance to talk about or plan for getting older, losing capacity or how we wish to spend our final days stems from both cultural and behavioural obstacles. HIC CEO, Danny Vadasz said, “We’re just not comfortable talking about death and decline.

“We’re ok talking about retirement and our funeral plans and the things we have put in place for once we have gone, but we don’t want to address the stuff in-between. “This is in part due to being placed in a wicked dilemma we simply don’t know how to solve; we don’t want to be a burden to families but are horrified at the prospect of going into residential aged care and losing our independence. “Often it’s easier putting our heads in the

sand and simply not thinking about it.” Mr Vadasz says the tragic fall-out from this inability to communicate our deepest wishes is that way too many difficult conversations are happening in clinical settings when we are facing a health crisis or worse still, family members are left to make tough choices on our behalf, usually without knowing what we want. “We need to step up and take charge and stop putting the burden on our families.

“We want to gently encourage people to think about their hopes and fears and then share these thoughts with families and friends. “Most importantly, we want to empower the elderly to take charge of how they would like to navigate their declining years and not leave this to family and the medical profession to determine.” For further information, visit https://bit. ly/2KzNqqE

Helping people with dementia maintain everyday living DEM EN T I A is the biggest cause of disability in Australian’s over the age of 65. It can also affect people of younger ages. A set of ‘reablement’ programs now available are focussed on helping people living with dementia to maintain their ability to perform everyday activities for as long as possible. ‘Supporting independence and function in people living with dementia’ is a handbook of reablement programs for service providers and is an evidence-informed resource containing

practical reablement programs to support function in people living with dementia. The handbook contains eight reablement programs around the key areas of everyday living activities, mobility and physical function, and cognition and communication. Directed at aged care providers, allied health and nursing professionals, managers and care workers, the handbook is supported by two additional resources, a consumer information booklet, and a technical guide.

Page 18 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1412 Wednesday, July 4, 2018

The technical guide contains a detailed synthesis of the published research evidence on reablement interventions for people living with dementia and is a resource particularly aimed at health professions delivering programs and researchers. Professor Chris Poulos, who led the team producing these new resources, said, “We have developed the handbook and the accompanying resources for two key reasons. The first is to empower people living with

dementia, along with their families and support persons, by providing them with the tools to make informed decisions about programs that could be of benefit. “The second is to outline for practitioners and service providers how these evidenceinformed programs can be delivered, practically and sustainably.” All three resources are available for free dow n load at ha m mondc a re.com. au / reablement

Stop and check – is this for real? BE AWARE…scammers are impersonating government departments and trusted businesses and they are targeting you. If you received a call out of the blue from the tax office saying you had a tax debt that you had to pay immediately or be arrested, what would you think? If Telstra called you and said there were internet problems in your area and they needed remote access to your computer in order to help you otherwise they would disconnect your service, what would you do? While it would be understandable if your initial reaction might be fear or panic, Australians are being urged to ‘Stop and check – is this for real?’ These are examples of threat-based impersonation scams, about which the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s Scamwatch received almost 33,000 reports in 2017. About 85 percent of these reports indicated the scammer had been in contact by telephone.

Older Australians have been particularly vulnerable to these scams. People aged 65 and over submitted more than 5,800 of the Scamwatch reports and reported losing almost $1M last year. For more information about scams, where to get help or to report a scam, visit www.scamwatch.gov.au/scamsweek2018

Tips to protect yourself: • Verify the identity of the contact through an independent source, such as a phone book or online search, then get in touch with them to ask if they contacted you. Don’t use the contact details provided by the caller or in the message sent to you. • Never send money, give your banking or credit card details or other personal information to anyone you don’t know or trust, and never by email or over the phone. • Know that a government agency or trusted business will never

Page 22 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1412 Wednesday, July 4, 2018

•

ask you to pay them with gift or store cards, iTunes cards, wire transfers or Bitcoin. Don’t open suspicious texts, pop-up windows or click on links or attachments in emails – just delete them. These could infect your computer with malware. Never give anyone remote access to your computer if they’ve contacted you out of the blue – whether through a phone call, pop up window or email – and even if they claim to be from a well-known company like Telstra. If you have lost money or given your personal details to a scammer, there are steps you can take straight away to limit the damage and protect yourself from further loss. If you’ve sent money or shared your banking or credit card details, contact your financial institution immediately. They may be able to stop or reverse a transaction, or close your account.

The importance of local community involvement ETHICAL, caring and local are the key elements that underpin Goulburn Valley Hearing Clinic’s approach to providing hearing services to the local community. As an independent, locally owned clinic, involvement in the local community is important. Goulburn Valley Hearing Clinic practice manager, Dierdre Robertson said, “Sponsorship of the Goulburn Valley Bowls Division, the Australian National Piano Awards and STAG, is how we do this. “Whether testing newborn babies at the hospital clinic or carrying out a hearing assessment at the private clinic, the audiologists at Goulburn Valley Hearing Clinic works

to ensure you understand the testing being done, what it means and the options available to you. “Hearing loss is often a gradual process. You may be missing out on conversations, especially when there is background noise, or need to ask others to speak up or repeat themselves. “Hearing loss can be very isolating and keeping up with what’s being said can also be exhausting.” Her suggestion is don’t delay; have your hearing checked. Talk to your local audiologist about the results and find out what you can do about it, it can really make a difference.

WINTER is here, and you’re probably wondering how you’ll stay warm without blowing your energy budget. Having the heater on high three months a year is all very well, but having a house that stays warm by itself is even better. Sounds impossible, right? But getting a Victorian Residential Efficiency Scorecard Assessment can set you on the path to a more comfortable home with lower energy use. The Scorecard is a new Victorian Government program to review, rate and improve the energy efficiency of your home. It is delivered by government-accredited assessors, and will give your house a star rating (like the star rating on your fridge or air conditioner) as well as recommendations to improve that rating. The assessment process is easy and takes one to two hours. The assessor walks through your home, recording information using the online Scorecard tool. The assessor takes down details of your fixed appliances, like your air conditioner and hot water system, the size of your rooms, the way they’ve been built, types of windows and insulation and other elements that affect the energy use or comfort of a room, such as gaps under the external doors or unsealed chimneys. Accredited assessor, Danielle King said, “One great thing about Scorecard is it gives Victorian households access to a government-accredited assessor they know they can trust, someone who can answer questions about why their energy bills are high. We can also help you decide which changes to make to your home first and help you prioritise.” For more information on Scorecard, visit www. victorianenergysaver.vic.gov.au/scorecard, email help. scorecard@delwp.vic.gov.au or contact the Scorecard team on 136 186.

A CENTURY WITHIN REACH… Kayne Pettifer looks certain to break the magical 100 goal barrier and will be the first to do so since Josh Mellington did it in 2015. Photo: Bailey Opie Photography.

It’s a ton of fun IT’S great to see that after a few years with no century goal kicker, Kayne Pettifer looks certain to break the magical 100 goal barrier. The last player to do so was Josh Mellington who kicked 111 goals for Benalla in 2015. Mellington then went on to kick another ton for Albury in the strong Ovens and Murray Football League. Pettifer has really ramped up his sharp shooting in recent weeks with 28 goals in his last three games. He currently sits on 79 goals for season 2018 and has six home and away games remaining. Add

that to three finals and Pettifer has no games remaining. The next question is, how many goals will he end up with this year? Chris Stuhldreier holds the record off 164 in season 1993 but that may be a stretch. Over the last five weeks Pettifer has kicked 44 goals at just under nine a week. Let’s say he averages eight a week from here, the 150 mark could be a possibility. It may be a thing of the past at the highest level but at country level the romance that surrounds the 100th goal for a gun forward is still alive in the bush.
