Teens charged following Poplar Avenue death The Homicide Squad has charged three people following the death of a 43 year old Shepparton man on Poplar Avenue in Shepparton on Friday night. An 18-year-old male, a 17-year-old male and a 17-year-old female were intercepted by police in a vehicle in Harrietville on Monday. The 17-year-old male has been charged with manslaughter, theft of motor vehicle, carjacking, robbery, conduct endangering serious injury, unlicensed driving, drug

impaired driving and possess drug of dependence (ICE). The 18-year-old male has been charged with manslaughter, theft of motor vehicle, carjacking and robbery. The 17-year-old female has been charged with manslaughter, theft of motor vehicle, carjacking and robbery. All three were remanded in custody with the 18-year-old to face Wodonga Magistrates’ Court yesterday and the 17-year-olds to face a

children’s court. Emergency services attended the scene at Poplar Avenue on Friday following reports of a man struck by a vehicle near Yorkshire Crescent shortly before 11pm. It’s believed the 43-year-old Shepparton man drove to the location for a pre-arranged meeting and was then involved in an altercation with two males and a female, all believed to be in their late teens, and was subsequently assaulted.

New tankers and new jobs at Fonterra JUST one of Fonterra’s new, state-of-theart ‘Truck and Dog’ tankers are capable of holding 37,000 litres of milk, enough to fill 148,000 glasses of milk, and is transforming farm milk collection for the company, creating new jobs in the regions, improving efficiency from farm to factory, and reducing the number of trucks on country roads. A jump in the amount of milk Fonterra collects means that more people and bigger trucks are needed to handle the growth. The first of 14 new tankers collectively capable of holding over 500,000 litres of milk have begun hitting the road, replacing older and smaller milk tankers and improving the efficiency of farm milk collection, while 26 new drivers have come on board across Fonterra’s four regions, boosting local jobs at Darnum, Cobden, Tongala and Wynyard.

As a result of this assault, he was on the roadway and was then struck by a vehicle being driven east along Poplar Avenue. The woman driving that vehicle stopped to assist and paramedics worked on him, however the man died at the scene. Anyone with information regarding the incident or the passing vehicles is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

and distribution, Justin Ryan says the fleet upgrade includes two new types of tanker, a 26m tanker capable of carrying 43,000 litres or 26 percent more milk than the previous tankers, and the ‘Truck and Dog’ tanker, a truck and trailer that can carry 27 percent more milk than the tankers it replaces. “The new drivers boost our existing

team of drivers and ensure we’re providing a consistently high level of service to our farmers during the seasonal peak “We’ve had over 20 percent growth in the volume of milk we collect over the past eighteen months, and our new drivers and the upgraded fleet have been crucial to supporting that growth,” Justin said.

Teachers’ long service recognised HUNDREDS of Victorian teachers have been recognised for their dedication to public education, acknowledged for 40, 45, 50 and 55 years of service at the Recognition of Service to Victorian Education awards last week, including four locals.

Lovell renews calls for Bangerang Cultural Centre support THE Liberal Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell has continued her support of the Bangerang Cultural Centre in an attempt to get the ailing facility re-opened and viable into the future. Speaking during an adjournment debate in State Parliament recently, Ms Lovell again raised the matter with Aboriginal Affairs Minister, Natalie Hutchins, calling for State Government assistance to establish a business model to ensure the centre’s long-term operation. Ms Lovell’s calls came as she tabled a community petition containing the signatures of 1,707 community members calling on the Andrews Labor Government to provide ongoing funding to re-open the Bangerang Cultural Centre and ensure its future and longevity. Ms Lovell said she had spoken many times in parliament about the importance of the Bangerang Cultural Centre to the local Aboriginal community and her continuous calls for the minister to provide adequate State Government support had been ignored. “The centre’s management and the Bangerang people deserve better from Minister Hutchins and the Andrews Labor Government. As the large amount of signatures on the petition attests, the Bangerang Cultural Centre is important to local Indigenous culture and that is why I have urged the minister to provide assistance to establish a business model that will ensure the centres long-term operation into the future.”

How important is a good coffee? By Nicholise Garner IT’S a great feeling when you are served a perfectly brewed coffee and frankly, a reliably good coffee will always make me return for more.

LETTERS

OPINION

Letters to the Editor DO PEOPLE MATTER TO THE DECISION MAKERS?

Dear Editor, The critics will point out, about my recent letter, that there are toilets in the centre under the tower. These are hard to find for visitors and even locals forget they are there and the gates to these from the mall are often locked. The mall is no longer the centre of town and the centre of town is slowly disappearing with shops closing down every day because of the lack of custom because of the parking meters. The centre of town is now the Coles, K-Mart, Chemist Warehouse district, and there are no toilets

there except for one small, one person one which requires a code to enter which most people wouldn’t have a clue that you have to go into K-Mart to ask for the code. There used to be toilets there, but like everything nowadays people don’t matter to those decision makers and the lack of common sense is rife in council and government, as it is all now about power and control and money and political ideology. Yours sincerely, I. Hay Shepparton

We welcome letters to the Editor but they are not guaranteed to be included and may be edited for reasons of style or content. Letters will not be eligible for consideration if they contain defamatory material, or information of a personal nature which is not in the public domain.

THE FUTURE OF THE COTTAGE Dear Editor, Hopef u lly VC AT w ill show a lit tle more intelligence than did some of our councillors when considering the future of ‘The Cottage.’ Shepparton has an operating drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre which the council, by a very narrow margin, is quite happy to destroy. So The Cottage did not have a permit to operate and was not staffed twenty-four seven, but at least it was a start. With cooperation from the council it could be the beginning of something very worthwhile. The operation could continue where it is until a more suitable place can be found, if indeed it is necessary to have it moved. Maybe councillors should have a second look at their reasoning when closing ‘The Cottage.’ Particularly if VCAT sees their way clear to suggesting the project should go ahead. Or maybe council feels Shepparton is free of any problems caused by drugs or alcohol. The other possible scenario is, that had there been a full quorum at the meeting, the vote may have gone the other way, and Shepparton would be seen to be attempting to tackle a serious problem. Yours sincerely, Tony Bell Mooroopna

OPEN LETTER TO FEDERAL MEMBER FOR MURRAY, DAMIAN DRUM Dear Editor, On February 14, 2018, with only seven of the 76 senators present in the house, the government with no opposition from Labour or the Greens passed the APRA Crisis Resolution Bill. Late at night, it was rushed through even after One Nation had notified Government and Treasury officials that it intended to move an amendment to the bill to clarify that it wouldn’t include the “Bail-in” of depositor’s funds. As was reported in the Australian Financial Review on Ju ne 3, 2013, “Shareholders, creditors must pay if banks fail.” BIS.

PET DENTAL MONTH… GV Vets veterinarians and business owners, Frances Jenner and Brett Davis are encouraging people to think about their pet’s dental health. Photo: Alicia Niglia

Is your pet’s mouth healthy? DOGS and cats with dirty teeth and smelly breath are not OK. 80 percent of dogs and cats over the age of three have some form of painful dental disease, which can be treated and prevented with the right care and veterinary advice. GV Vets are promoting dental month throughout August with 10 % off quoted dental procedures and lots of giveaways. Dr Fra nc e s Jen ner a nd Dr B ret t Davis, GV Vets business owners and veterinarians, are committed to increasing awareness of the silent suffering that can occur in pets with dental disease. Frances said “Any animal with teeth is at risk of painful dental issues, so we strongly

encourage pet owners to take notice of their pet’s teeth. A build-up of plaque and bacteria in your pet’s mouth can impact their overall health and a simple scale and polish can make a real difference to their oral health and comfort”. Brett said, “Signs to look out for include bad breath, tartar on teeth, swollen, red or bleeding gums, broken teeth, but only sometimes a reluctance to eat food. Even pets with a sore mouth will continue to eat with some not going off food until the pain is unbearable”. Call 58781144 to book your pets dental check or call into GV Vets, 169 Nixon St Shepparton.

New Red Moon apple to be grown in Shepparton Innovation of local orchardist leading industry continued from front page NATHAN said, “We are aiming to have the seed in the ground from next year and will be planting 100ha over the next decade and will be working in conjunction with other growers across Australia who are keen to come on board. “We currently produce 15,000 bins annually of apples, pears and plums we are hoping distributing this new variety, that is not found anywhere in Australia, will see those numbers grow. “I first came across this variety in northern Italy three years ago and through Page 12 – The Adviser.

a mutual connection we were able to obtain the seed. “It has crimson skin and red-coloured flesh and is high in vitamin C and anthocyanin so there are some great health benefits to this type of apple. It has a sweet taste with a slight tartness and tastes like a cross between a Granny Smith and a Pink Lady. “We decided to grow it because of the lack of this variety around the world. A lot of red flesh fruit doesn’t eat well, but this one does.” Nathan’s innovation was also recently recognised when he was named Apple and Pear Australia’s rising star of the year.

T here a re a n e s t i m at e d 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 Australians living with hepatitis C. Left untreated, hepatitis C can cause cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. Recent reports suggest treatment initiations have dropped to less than half the original monthly uptake, with uptake also generally lower in areas of estimated high prevalence.

Medical experts are urging people diagnosed with hepatitis C to come forward and talk to their GP about treatment options.

How to stay away from the influenza virus By Lucie Leonardi THE Influenza virus, or flu, is a viral infection and is highly contagious. It spreads easily from person to person during the winter months. Almost 50,000 people were contaminated by the influenza virus during 2017 in Victoria. Young children and old people in particular, need to be protected, as the flu in these groups of people can cause serious illness which can lead to death. Is estimated that the influenza virus causes 3,000 deaths in Australia each year. When someone is infected, the symptoms usually appear between one and three days later. Fever, sore throat, headache, muscle and joint pain and tiredness are the first and most commons symptoms of the influenza virus. For getting over the flu, doctors advise to stay warm in bed, have a rest, drink a lot of water and take the prescribed antiviral medication. But how do you reduce the risk of infection? Vaccination is the best way to avoid the winter flu. Vaccination builds immunity against the virus and prevents transmission to other people. It’s the easiest way to protect the community against an epidemic. Vaccination is required every year, because the virus can be different every year. For staying safe, it’s also advised to wash your hands regularly with soap and water, and do not share linen, eating utensils or dishes.

KNOW THE FLU… With the winter cold well and truly set in, it’s important for people to know what the influenza virus is, how to treat it and how to prevent it Photo: Supplied.

2018

THE first half of the round 16 split round has a couple of great games in it that both have massive ramifications. Tatura fifth take on Mansfield sixth who has just moved into the top six. Euroa seventh is at home to Echuca fourth with Euroa dropping out of the top six for the first time this season. Tatura just got over the line at Rochester on the weekend, lead by a very impressive Jamasaon Daniels. Brad Ryan and Mitch Elliot are in good form and with Brandyn Grenfell giving the Bulldogs a tall target up forward, the Eagles will have their work cut out. Mansfield thumped Mooroopna and is finding some form in the back half of the year. A best afield from Tom German last week was important with six majors from

Jamie Sheahan just as impressive. Brett Mahoney has had another sensational year for Mansfield but I think Tatura at home will just get the chocolates. Euroa will look to move back into the top six with a win over Echuca at M e mor i a l O va l . E chu c a where comfortably beaten by Kyabram last week but we don’t go by that form line in Goulburn Valley footy anymore. Echuca will bounce back and push for a top three berth. The other game sees Kyabram at home to the Shepparton Swans. If we had betting on Goulburn Valley football I don’t think we would get odds for this game. The real interest will be to watch Kayne Pettifer kick nine goals to reach the century of goals for season 2018.
