Chamber donates funds following sold-out event

By David Lee THREE local organisations that help provide support to the local community have been given a boost thanks to the Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with each receiving a share in funds raised through the chamber’s recent Rosie Batty Luncheon.

FamilyCare, Marian Community VincentCare and Primary Care Connect each received a donation of $2,000, which will go towards each of the organisation’s programs to help continue the care they provide to the local community.

Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry president, Carl Hainsworth said, “Having Rosie Batty here in Shepparton was a real treat. She spoke very well at the luncheon and was an inspiration to those who attended the sold-out event.

“Due to the nature of Rosie Batty’s story, the chamber thought it would be fitting that we donate the funds raised through

“Chamber would like to thank everyone who attended the luncheon for helping to make this donation possible.”

Locals vote to retain Mooroopna train station heritage THE new Mooroopna train station will retain a heritage-style allweather shelter at the station and is set to be operational by September this year, following feedback received from the local community.

Mooroopna locals and Shepparton line passengers have had their say on the future of the town’s station, after fire destroyed passenger facilities in January this year.

V/Line will now commence the procurement of a new shelter and install additional lighting, with the shelter set to be similar to that at Broadford Station and other stations on the regional network.

The community also wanted to see the historical and indigenous

significance of the station recognised, with TfV and V/Line set to work closely with local groups to honour the history of the station.

Over the coming months, TfV will work with the City of Greater Shepparton to investigate the access to the station including better footpaths and improved connections to the town centre and ‘wayfinding’ to the station.

Acting Minister for Public Transport, Luke Donnellan said, “Mooroopna Station has been serving the community for more than a hundred years, which is why we wanted to hear from local residents, groups and passengers about what should happen next.”

Connectivity spurring growth in Shepparton THE rollout of the nbn™ network in Shepparton is helping to push the region into a new digital era with almost all homes and businesses now able to connect to a service through a phone or internet provider.

As the region reaches this milestone, new research gathered through the Connecting Australia report reveals Australia is estimated to move from being in the bottom 10 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries for internet equality to the top 101 by 2021.

It s re sea rch shows ac ce ss to fast broadband is spurring growth in new businesses in the broader Hume region

and is projected to help contribute to the creation of 190 - 560 additional businesses by 2021 due to the ‘nbn™ effect.’

It also estimates that an additional 270 - 590 people will work primarily from home by 2021, and an additional 430 – 820 Hume residents could be self-employed as a result of the nbn™ access network.

Head of nbn™ local Victoria and Tasmania, Ebony Aitken said, “We are proud today to announce Shepparton is of the most connected regions in the state.

Across regional Victoria, more than 83 percent of homes and businesses are now able to connect.

“Our research shows this connectivity revolution is spurring rapid growth in the

digital economy and regional businesses across within the area. In part due to the arrival of fast broadband, the City of Greater Shepparton is better positioned to compete with its urban counterparts.

Residents can work from home and create new business opportunities.”

THE COTTAGE IS A MUCH NEEDED FACILITY Dear Editor, I refer to the article printed in The Adviser on June 27, 2018. The article is in regard to the possible closure of ‘The Cottage.’

I attended the opening of this much needed facility and also was taken on a tour of the new houses that provide accommodation and safety for recovering drug and alcohol users.

I see this as an asset to our city. Nothing like it exists in this area and it’s about time we all looked at this with open minds and open eyes!

There are many people in this vicinity who have nowhere to go when they make the decision to ask for help! Hospitals and mental health facilities may be required initially, but rehabilitation is ongoing for those who really want help to cease using drugs and/or alcohol.

It is unfortunate that our council voted 4-5 against accepting the belated permit, in-fact, disappointing by far. A big thank you to the councillors who voted in favour of this facility and as far as the motion put forward to allow this permit to be granted, I would ask the remaining councillors why they are against providing a rehabilitation facility in Shepparton? Do you not have any family?

The people I met on the opening day

were very pleasant, decent people from all areas around Victoria. I met supporters of the facility, parents of rehabilitated sons and daughters and those involved in set ting up this new and needed rehabilitation facility. To the committee members and staff of ‘The Cottage,’ I add my disappointment among the others who would like to see Shepparton going forward with this relatively new facility.

Good luck with VCAT! To the neighbours and residents of St Andrew’s Road, I say that I understand their fears and concerns, but please consider the fact that maybe one day a member of your own family may need a place like ‘The Cottage’ to turn to in desperation for rehabilitation! Give it a chance to smooth out its rough edges… your fears may be unfounded.

In fact, come down near Balaclava Road and you will find stress in abundance from the ‘hoon drivers’ in this area. Test out your stress levels, as I have to, with idiot drivers who are not asking for help!

Yours sincerely, Margaret Dowley Shepparton Want to have your say?

ADVICE AND SUPPORT FOR UPCOMING NDIS ROLLOUT… From left, Rights Information and Advocacy Centre Self Advocacy Group members from Connect GV, Julie-Anne Watt, Clare Rich and Michael Darcy. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

Encouraging independence RECENTLY, the Rights Information and Advocacy Centre along with our Self Advocacy Group members from Connect GV and Shepparton Access conducted a Self Advocacy Roadshow event.

Throughout the Self Advocacy Roadshow the groups visited a variety of local schools, programs and training organisations to draw attention to and discuss the importance of self-advocacy for people with a disability, particularly with the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) coming soon. Self-Advocates shared their stories and inspired others by celebrating their successes, challenges and overcoming their barriers.

In the months leading up to the roadshow, the Self Advocates participated in a series of workshops and

Page 12 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1413 Wednesday, July 11, 2018

meetings to learn about the six powers of self-advocacy and how each power can help towards speaking up and being heard. The roadshow was an interactive event that saw others share, listen and learn.

A RIAC spokesperson said, “With the NDIS being rolled out in this area in 2019, the importance of being prepared and knowing what supports are available to live a full life are all topics for discussion when you go for that first planning meeting with the NDIS planner.

“Having the confidence to speak up and say what you need is paramount to getting the supports and services you need under the scheme.”

If you need any advice or assistance regarding the NDIS, contact RIAC on 5822 1944.

Herman’s Hermits world tour comes to Shepparton WHEN the 1960’s British Invasion hit worldwide, Herman’s Hermits were one of the biggest groups out of the UK. Their Australian No. 1 hits, ‘Mrs. Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter’ and ‘No milk today’ made the group one of the most popular groups of the day here in Australia. The No. 1s were followed up by eight more top 10 hits including ‘I’m Henry VIII,’ ‘There’s a kind of hush,’ ‘A must to avoid,’ ‘Silhouettes’ and many more songs that cracked the top 20.

The concept of the 6 O’Clock Hop is to put the show on at a more convenient time in the cooler months of August and September at 6pm, where audience members are encouraged to get an early dinner and enjoy a two hour show packed full of hits, in the knowledge they’ll be safely home at a reasonable time. Promoter Layton Lillas of Showcase Entertainment Group said, “An 8pm show start can mean by the time you watch the show, leave the theatre and drive home, it could be midnight. In August we feel people would rather come and enjoy a night out without it being too late.”

Mercy Health and Southern Cross Care join forces AGED and home care services have been given a boost following the recent merger of Mercy Health and Southern Cross Care (Vic).

The merger expands Mercy Health’s national aged and home care footprint. In any one year, the organisation supports and cares for almost 3,000 people who live in the 35 aged care homes, partnered with more than 8,500 home and community care clients and maintaining 409 retirement living units and

apartments.

Mercy Health Group chief executive officer, Adjunct Professor Stephen Cornelissen said the organisation was excited to embark on this next chapter in its mission.

“Our goal is to grow a more sustainable organisation from which we can continue to provide compassionate, high-quality and affordable care,” Adj Prof Cornelissen said.

“Our years of experience will enable us

to better respond to the changing needs of Australia’s ageing population and public funding arrangements.

“We’re delighted to welcome Southern Cross Care (Vic) staff to Mercy Health to help us proudly propel the missions of two outstanding Catholic organisations.”

Mercy Health chief operating officer, Adjunct Professor Linda Mellors said, “Our Southern Cross Care (Vic) teams from

Shepparton to Rosebud have been outstanding during the past 18 months and have made sure our transition to one organisation has been a smooth one.

Locals urged to protect water meters on frosty nights W IT H overnight temperatures dipping below zero, Goulburn Valley Water (GVW) is reminding customers to protect their water meters on frosty nights.

People are urged to place a cover over their above-ground meter to ensure their pipes and meters don’t freeze up during nights with sub-zero temperatures.

Frozen meters can split or burst under pressure and may also mean not having access to water until frozen pipes or meters thaw out.

GVW operations manager, Steven Nash said protecting water meters can help customers avoid costly repair bills.

“Covers can be created from a cardboard box, a plastic tub or bucket or hessian bag or old blanket,” Mr Nash said.

“Placing a cover over your meter reduces the chance of water inside the meter or pipes freezing when the temperature drops below zero.

“Frozen water can expand inside the meters or pipes, causing them to burst or split.

“If your meter has frozen you should wait for it to thaw naturally, but if you can’t wait, you can pour lukewarm water over it. Don’t pour hot or boiling water on it, as this can also cause it to burst or split.”

If you experience a burst water meter, you should turn off your water supply if possible and call the GVW faults and emergencies hotline on 1800 454 500.

Hudson to run for Northern Victoria RUNNING FOR THE UPPER HOUSE… Tatura resident, Josh Hudson has announced his candidacy as a State Member for the Legislative Council (Upper House) for the Northern Victoria region. Photo: Supplied.

TATURA’S Josh Hudson has announced his candidacy as a State Member for the Legislative Council (Upper House) for the Northern Victoria region. Once the Hudson For Northern Victoria party is registered with the Victorian Electoral Commission, Hudson will be nominated as a candidate to the Victorian Electoral Commission to run for the Hudson For Northern Victoria party.

Hudson, 33, is a married father of one who was born and has lived and worked in the Northern Victorian region all his life.

Having graduated from school at Nathalia, Hudson went on to study at La Trobe University and is a certified practising accountant. For the past five years, he has been the executive corporate services manager of the social enterprise The Work Group in Shepparton, which includes Worktrainers, GAME Traffic and Contracting and Recruitment Select.

Hudson has also been instrumental, behind-the-scenes, in helping to set up and/ or support some of the most renowned social

Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1413 Wednesday, July 11, 2018

start-ups in the area such as the influential Greater Shepparton Lighthouse project and Ganbina (Indigenous school to work transition). He also has provided back-ofhouse support to the Community Fund Goulburn Valley for many years.

Hudson is president of the Tatura Children’s Centre and the past secretary and Match Day secretary of the Nathalia Football Netball Club (2004–2008). He is also an associate director of Goulburn Murray Community Leadership, which administers the Fairley Leadership Program, from which he graduated in 2017.

Hudson said, “I’ve seen evidence of strong grassroots advocacy in pockets of the region such as with Cathy McGowan in Indi and Suzanna Sheed in Shepparton, both strong independents who have been elected to the Lower Houses of the Federal and Victorian Parliaments, respectively.

“I’d like to see this kind of representation in the Victorian Legislative Council (Upper House) too, so our region has a voice in the Legislative Council. The Liberals, The Nationals and the Labor Party have not delivered for Northern Victoria.”

Josh needs at least 500 people to sign up to his party, for it to be registered, and is already well on his way but welcomes more supporters at www.hudson4nv.com

RIVERLINKS Eastbank is going cabaret… think couches, small tables and candles…for Neo Radio’s La Petite Mort on Friday, July 20.

Cure the winter chills with a laid back evening and experience as Eastbank goes cabaret for a night for fun, fine tunes and food. Inspired by film noir, La Petite Mort, transports music by artists like Nick Cave, Amy Winehouse and Taylor Swift to the steamy streets of jazz land.

Following sold-out seasons at Melbourne’s Paris Cat Jazz Club and Butterfly Club, reviewers have called this tongue-in-cheek whodunit, musical show, ‘spine-tingling perfection’, ‘a night of musical heaven’ and ‘just

Performing Arts and Conventions manager, Ken Cameron said it’s as much about quality entertainment as it is about getting together with friends and sharing good conversation.

“Eastbank cafe will be open from 7pm, where you can grab a bite to eat. Grab a meal and a bottle of wine and take it into your table

to enjoy prior to the curtain going up,” Ken said.

$1.68M to improve public transport in Shepparton continued from front page THE plaza area will be a space for socialising with the inclusion of toilet facilities with adult change room and baby changing facilities. This space will be a user friendly open space area adjacent to the main bus interchange terminal.

The new bus interchange will improve the functionality within the CBD and make the area safer for pedestrians and traffic users.

The creation of an eight bay bus interchange will provide Shepparton with a central, user friendly public transport hub with direct access to the CBD, train station and other major destinations within Greater Shepparton. The bus interchange will operate on both sides of Maude Street for north and southbound traffic.

Federal Member for Murray, the Hon Damian Drum MP said the project was a significant investment in building a stronger economy and driving jobs for the long term.

“This is a fantastic outcome for the Shepparton community,” Mr Drum said.

“This will have major flow-on benefits across the community for those who use the buses, particularly those on lower incomes by providing access to employment and by stimulating investment and new business in the lower end of Maude Street.

“It will particularly benefit new migrants and the Indigenous community through access

to employment, stimulating private investment, addressing vacancies and creating employment for the Shepparton community, ensuring our region will continue to thrive and prosper into the future.”

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said, “The funding from the Building Better Regions Fund is critical to ensure council can improve the facilities and amenities of this area in a timely manner for our residents and visitors.

“I look forward to seeing the project progress and thank the Federal Government for the funding.”

Minister for Regional Development, Territories and Local Government, John McVeigh said the project will deliver significant economic and social benefits to the community.

“Under round two of the Building Better Regions Fund – Infrastructure Projects stream, the Coalition Government is investing well over $200M in 136 projects with a total leveraged project value of $459M,” Dr McVeigh said.

“This means, in each successful community much anticipated local projects are receiving the funds needed to take a big idea and make it a reality.”

Cou ncil has also received f u nding commitments from the State Government, Department of Justice, VicRoads and Public Transport Victoria and has also allocated

funding in its capital works budget to fund the early stages of the project.

Later stages of the project include street scaping of Maude Street from Vaughan to High Street and traffic signals at the intersection of Vaughan and Maude Streets. The works will be conducted over several years with completion in 2020.

Water still the hot topic continued from front page

By David Lee MR GLYDE toured the region for two days, talking with various stakeholder groups, including state and federal members, community members, Goulburn Murray Water, local production companies (Geoffrey Thompson Fruit Packing, Freedom Foods Group, SPC, Fonterra and Tatura Milk), and also the Goulburn Murray Irrigation District (GMID) Group.

Mr Glyde said, “This trip provided me with valuable insights into the current issues facing the area and we also discussed the recent social and economic work released by the Murray Darling Basin Authority (MDBA).

I acknowledged that the basin plan’s water recovery has had an impact in the GMID, but that there are many other factors also contributing to changes in production and employment.”

Federal Member for Murray, the Hon Damian Drum said, “Much of the wealth of the Goulburn Valley has been built around produce that can only be produced because of irrigation including the dairy and horticulture industries.

“Everybody understands we need to have healthy river systems and were happy to do our bit in creating that health within our waterways.

“But there is also a very real feeling, one which I agree with, that we have done the

bulk of the heavy lifting in relation to water efficiencies, water savings and giving up water and quite frankly we’re sick of the Labor Party and The Greens wanting to take even more.

“Ultimately, the remaining 450GL of up-water that sits at the end of the Murray Darling Basin Plan needs to be settled sooner rather than later.

“It was invaluable for Mr Glyde to be able to address the various meetings we had set up across the region with the stakeholders…

the farmers, food processors, economists and water leadership personnel.

“As with all issues to do with water, the meetings are always complex however there was a very common message coming from the Goulburn Valley to Mr Glyde and that is that this area cannot afford to give up any more water, irrespective of how it is achieved. He received that loud and clear.

“It has only recently come to light that as the practice of carryover increases so too does the event of water spilling from our storages.

“One of the outcomes of the visit was that the MDBA will undertake a body of work that quantifies the environmental outcomes associated with the extra spillage events associated with carryover water.”

Lake toilet works begin WORK on the new toilets and family precinct (playground) at the northern end of the Victorian Park Lake have now commenced, which once completed will replace the existing toilets.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure, Phil Hoare said the new toilet building includes five female and three male cubicles, urinals, three unisex toilets which are all gender accessible cubicles with baby change facilities.

“It’s great to see these works commence.

Both these amenities and playground projects were open to community consultation earlier in the year and they will now be constructed.

“The new family play area will include new playground equipment suitable for toddlers, primary school aged children and teenagers. The playground will include a flying fox, swings and other exciting play structures and areas of shade.

“It’s exciting to see these projects off and running and the new architecturally designed facilities will improve the look and functionality of this high profile and popular space,” Mr Hoare said.

AN EVERYDAY CRUISER… Murchison East resident, Simone Mottershead with her and husband Warren’s 1956 Chevrolet BelAir. Photos: David Lee.

By David Lee WHEN Warren and Simone Mottershead from Murchison East first laid eyes on their 1956 Chevrolet BelAir their first reaction was ‘oh dear’ and after deciding to buy it their drive home left them nicknaming it The Red Rattler, but today when you start the engine, the grunt can be felt in your chest while you are admiring the striking red exterior.

Three years ago, Warren and Simone went in search of this particular model of Chevrolet after Warren had wanted one his whole life. They found one in Brisbane that had only been imported by the owner a month earlier.

Warren and Simone said, “When we

flew up there we said that if he opens the garage and we weren’t wowed by it, we wouldn’t buy it. When he opened it, we said ‘oh dear,’ but we bought it anyway and drove it home. On the drive home it rattled so loudly, which is where the nickname came from.

“The exterior colour was there, but it was a bit rough. The paint was the texture like that of an orange peel. We spent weeks rubbing it out.

“We took it to a friend in Tasmania who helped to put in a new motor and he worked on the diff, front end, brakes, steering, it’s had a lot done to it.

“It’s our everyday cruiser and is nice to drive.”

wi t h Geoff Vallance NEXT stop, Livorno the port city for Tuscany. From here you can see it all, Florence with its architecture, churches and works by the greats. You can see Michelangelo’s David at the Uffizi Museum, or a visit to Pisa and its famous leaning tower but again I have seen them before, so what can I do? And there it is a tour to Cinque Terre.

I have always wanted to go and now is the time. I think this is going to be a beautiful day. First by bus, then by train, and finally we arrive at the first village.

There are five villages frozen to the faces of the cliffs looking down on the blue seas of the Italian Riviera. They are all part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Our first stop is at Corniglia. The tiny village is so picturesque, with one main street winding its way down to the sea.

There are no hotels but plenty of B&Bs, little cafés and stunning views. Many of the tourists carry hiking sticks for the narrow pathways cutting along the edge of the mountain to walk between the villages, but maybe the sticks are just for show because a recent storm has washed the path away and it could be some time before it’s restored.

With no pathway our transfer boat arrives to take us by sea to our next stop, Vernazza. It’s even more beautiful. Its church stands proud overlooking the sea and the town.

There are people everywhere enjoying the sun, the sea and the stunning natural

Dubai to London

by sea part IV

beauty of the narrow streets and from the cafés, the smell of freshly ground coffee and fine food…it’s all there to enjoy.

Back on our boat and to our third village for the day, Monterosso. It’s hard to describe but there is a vibe in the air that this is a special place. Everything from fullon five star restaurants to little cafés serving seafood or Panini, lovely wines and again that coffee and the views…this has been a beautiful day.

But all good things must come to an end.

Another night at sea and we have left Italy behind. On this new day we are in Monte Carlo and the start of the Grand Prix is just two days away. Talk about a buzz…people are excited; the tiered seating has been put in place around the track.

Sexy looking expensive sports cars are everywhere. It appears many see themselves as potential drivers.

This is a city of excess with more millionaires than anywhere else in the world.

Actually, the super-rich don’t live here, their homes are an address in a tax free haven.

And the yachts of the super-rich are so big. It’s said they will offer free moorings next to their yachts to owners of smaller yachts just to make their super yacht look even bigger.

There are more police here per head of population than anywhere else but not because of crime, it’s because it makes the super-rich feel more comfortable.

It’s only a small principality but it packs a real punch. When it comes to grand buildings there’s a Grand Palace, a Grand Casino and a Grand Prix. With sun shining and people everywhere this is a great place to be, but our cruise ship says it’s time to move on.

Today we arrive in Barcelona known as the second capital of Spain. At the moment the dispute between the local Catalonians and Spanish Government in Madrid has left Barcelona without a local government.

Although the people are divided on the

Page 24 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1413 Wednesday, July 11, 2018

issue, life goes on and Barcelona is alive with tourists wanting to experience the local vibe that only this city can give.

From the old city with buildings dating back to medieval times, the works of Dali and the associated museum, or just strolling along Las Ramblas where people gather to experience this shopping promenade with its street entertainment, it’s all here but for me the highlight of this city are the works of Antoni Gaudi.

This master architect started an incredible journey when he took over as the driving force behind La Sagrada Familia. This huge cathedral, when finished, will be the tallest in the world. Started in 1882 it’s hoped to be finished by 2026 for Gaudi’s 100th anniversary, although church services are already being held here.

It’s not officially a cathedral but as soon as you stand before it you know it is. Gaudi was fresh out of architectural school when he took on the project. At the time, some people thought Barcelona was losing its Christian values and wanted an outstanding church to re-invigorate the faith.

The genius of Gaudi was to see from the beginning what no one else could see.

While other huge cathedrals used flying buttresses to hold the domes up, Gaudi designed a system of pillars fanning out at the top to do the same thing thus avoiding the use of ugly exterior buttresses.

Successive architects have followed Gaudi’s drawing and models, although the originals were lost in a fire. A fellow architect had made copies of the originals so the work could continue.

Gaudi even designed components of the building that were not possible to build in his time knowing that they would be solved in the future.

Gaudi only had time to complete one façade of this church before his death but the copies of his models and drawings kept the dream alive.

The interior features stained glass

windows that throw a kaleidoscope of colours around the cathedral’s walls and floors. It’s like the spirit of this massive building is alive.

There are other designs by Gaudi around Barcelona that attract thousands of tourists each year but none quite as commanding as La Sagrada Familia.

To be continued.

Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance

A GRAND CATHEDRAL… La Sagrada Familia is Barcelona’s grand cathedral. The work began almost 100 years ago when architect, Antoni Gaudi brought life to the project.

Euroa will fancy their chances at home and are a genuine chance as they match up well against the Bombers and have been unlucky not to pinch the points on two occasions in the last two years. The Bombers will win at Memorial Oval but don’t bet on it.

Benalla will defeat United at the Showg rounds, Sheppar ton will just pip Mansfield at Deakin, Rochester will account for Mooroopna, Tatura will boost their percentage against the Swans and Echuca will be too strong for Seymour at Victoria Park but need to keep a close eye on Jason Cole after his 71 possessions last week.

Bushrangers shocked by ‘Power’ surge THE Murray Bushrangers suffered a heavy defeat against Gippsland Power in Round 11 TAC Cup action. After trekking down to Morwell, the Bushrangers were outplayed by a harder, more committed Power team.

The Bushrangers kicked against a strong breeze after losing the toss and the Power kicked four goals from their nine attempts, while the Bushrangers could manage only a solitary behind to trail by 28 points.

The second term again saw Gippsland dom i n ate w it h s even s cor i ng shot s r e g i s t e r i n g o n e go a l , howe ve r t h e Bushrangers scored only two behinds to be goalless at the main break and training by

38 points.

A reality check received by coach, Mark Brown saw the players challenged in their performance and efforts. The third quarter again saw Gippsland dominate the scoring kicking three goals and five behinds, with the Bushrangers kicking their first goal through Jye Chalcraft. The margin at the final break was 54 points. The Bushrangers final quarter was their best of the game, however the game was over with the Bushrangers outscoring the Power by nine points with two last term goals to Ely Smith and Zane Barzen. The final margin of 45 points was reflective of the way Gippsland Power handled the windy

and wet conditions, however the Bushrangers fought the game out to the very end.

Midfielder, Dylan Clarke continued his excellent form with another standout performance of contested ball winning in all areas of the ground, with his attack on the ball and his tackling was prominent across the four quarter physical contested game which brought teammates into the contest.

Lachlan Ash relished a move through the midfield and attacked the ball with vigour. However such was the Gippsland dominance forward. Ash spent the majority of the game repelling and cutting off the Powers forward forays across half back.

James Boyer was another who showed effort in the contest and applied tackles and pressure. Defender, Nick Murray showed good signs in his first game since a broken thumb, while ruckman, Floyd Bollinghaus was good in his return from an ACL reconstruction last season.

I n t wo we ek ’s t i m e , t he Mu r ray Bushrangers begin a three week home ground stretch with games at Shepparton, Wangaratta and Albury. The next contest sees a Deakin Reserve clash with the Eastern Ranges who have two wins for the season and the Bushrangers must regroup to capture their best football.

SPORTING clubs in Shepparton will receive a share in more than $370,000 in funding as part of the latest round of health promotion foundation VicHealth’s Active Club Grants, an initiative to encourage more Victorians to get physically active.

Shepparton Rowing Club will receive $3,000 to assist in looking to encourage more girls in Year 7,8 and 9 to participate in rowing double sculls, to develop their teamwork and get active.

Shepparton United Soccer Club will receive $2,974 to introduce Under 8 and Under 10 girls’ soccer teams and are looking to grow their senior women’s teams.

Tatura Football Netball Club will receive $2,995 to introducing a female youth team for young girls in the area to provide them with an opportunity to play as well as developing a pathway to senior football.

Building on the momentum generated by VicHealth’s successful This Girl Can – Victoria campaign, the new funding will help local sport clubs across Victoria deliver more opportunities for women and girls to get active.

VicHealth CEO, Jerril Rechter said the grants will help more Shepparton residents to make physical activity part of their day-to-day life.

“This funding is about supporting clubs in Shepparton to enable more women and girls – particularly those less active Victorians – to get active in a sport they’re passionate about and want to take part in.

“I encourage Shepparton residents to get involved in their local sports clubs – it’s a fun way to keep active while connecting with like-minded people in your local community.”
