Making a tough Christmas magical IMAGINE not being able to provide a gift for your child on Christmas morning.

Sadly this happens for too many families and currently, as a result of the drought in central New South Wales, there are

thousands of families who are facing this prospect.

Dotz for Kidz business co-owner, Judy Beckingham said, “I’ve really wanted to find a way to support farming families

who are worst affected by this drought and to be able to deliver toys directly to those families seems to be a practical way of doing so.

Partnership creates employment opportunities and battles fruit fly FIGHTING FRUIT FLY… From left, Goulburn Murray Valley Regional Fruit Fly coordinator, Ross Abberfield, Connect GV supported employees, Melinda Bohun and Karen Quinn and social enterprise coordinator, Irene Timm.

By David Lee A RECENT partnership between the Billabong Garden Complex (Connect GV) and the Goulburn Murray Valley Regional Fruit Fly initiative is helping to create employment opportunities for Connect GV supported employees and has also allowed for the local Billabong nursery to gain training to be the local stop for information on how to correctly manage the Queensland Fruit Fly. To date, six Connect GV supported employees have been hard at work creating No Flies On Us information packs that will be distributed throughout the region, with the partnership and employment set to continue into the future.

Billabong Garden Complex was recently successful in an application to the ‘Managing Fruit Fly – Regional Community Grants’ and secured funds to support the No Flies on Us campaign to educate the community about the importance of managing fruit fly.

Billabong manager, Tracy Lamont said, “As a seller of fruiting trees, Billabong is committed to ensuring that home gardeners are provided with relevant information to garden responsibly and to do their bit to reduce the risk of a fruit fly outbreak locally.

“To support the fruit fly campaign Billabong staff and some supported employees undertook fruit fly training at Billabong last week. This training will up-skill Billabong staff and equip them with the relevant knowledge and information to assist the community to identify a fruit fly infestation and to assist them to manage it.

“In addition to staff training, the community will be able to obtain more

information at the Billabong Garden Expo on October 6 and 7 and information on fruit fly control and products to identify and control fruit fly will be available at Billabong Garden Complex seven days per week.”

Connect GV general manager, Anthony Putt said, “This partnership is beneficial for our pre-employment program.

“We’ve never had anything of a continuous nature before and this is great because it helps our supported employees build a skill base and confidence, which will allow them to move on to bigger, better things.”

Connect GV social enterprise coordinator, Irene Timm said, “This is all about creating opportunities for employment in the community and our supported employees have a range of skills and can undertake a range of tasks from gardening to cleaning and more, so if you need help with something we encourage you to get in touch.”

Goulburn Murray Valley Regional Fruit Fly coordinator, Ross Abberfield said, “We have many partnerships with groups in the community and the relationship with Connect GV is crucial. It will be a long term partnership providing opportunities to engage employment and create resources that we can get out into the community.

“Educating staff and supported employees at Billabong Garden Complex will offer a local nursery where the whole community can go to learn about how they can manage and control the Queensland Fruit Fly. “If we can achieve that and get everyone on the same page and armed with the correct information and knowhow we can protect our growers, protect our industry and protect our economy.”

NEWS 372 HOMELESS IN SHEPPARTON… Shepparton has been recorded to have the highest homelessness rates in regional Victoria.

Heat map reveals Shepparton has highest number of homeless in regional Victoria THE Council to Homeless Persons (CHP) has released a Homelessness Heat Map which reveals that Shepparton has the highest numbers of homeless in regional Victoria, with the stats revealing Shepparton has 372 homeless, with Geelong coming in second at 295.

The map, based on ABS data and analysed by state electorate, went live on Monday to coincide with the launch of CHP’s Victorian Homelessness Election Platform, a ‘blueprint’ for ending homelessness in Victoria.

In the election platform, CHP says that the 69 percent increase in stamp duty collected over the past five years ($2.8B), could be directed towards solving Victoria’s homelessness and affordable housing crisis.

In the lead-up to the November election, CHP will be calling on the major parties to adopt its recommendations. Among the 17 actions called for in the platform are 3,000 new social housing properties per year for 10 years, with 1,500 being one and two bedroom homes for singles, couples or

small families, stop renters being evicted into homelessness by helping to pay back rental arrears and providing more legal advice and support, helping people exiting prison and psychiatric units to get into housing to prevent them exiting straight into homelessness and providing dedicated housing stock for Housing First programs for rough sleepers, like they do in Finland.

Council to Homeless Persons acting CEO, Kate Colvin said, “This data makes it clear that homelessness is not just a city problem.

Skyrocketing rents and a lack of social housing is driving homelessness in every electorate in Victoria. But there are solutions to overcome the crisis.

“With the right measures in place, we know we can prevent most homelessness, quickly rehouse people who do lose their homes, and keep people housed long-term.

“We’ve developed a blueprint for solving homelessness and now we’re looking for the political leadership to implement it.”

OPINION

Letters to the Editor

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.

AN INDIVIDUAL’S RIGHT TO A POINT OF VIEW Dear Editor, I write in response to columnist, John Gray’s extraordinary hypocrisy in attacking those who have contributed recent letters to the editor of a local paper. In his column on September 27, Mr Gray resorted to school-yard bullying tactics of name-calling and derision, completely disregarding an individual’s right to a point of view.

It seems that Mr Gray welcomes contributions but only if he agrees with the content. Mr Gray also points out that a good independent votes with both sides of parliament based on merit.

You would think this also applies to working with both sides of parliament to lobby for your electorate. With a state election looming, the people of Shepparton will start voting in just 40 days’ time with a real prospect of a new Liberal National Coalition Government being formed to govern for the next four years.

Despite this, Ms Sheed has not actively lobbied the Liberal Nationals Coalition Shadow Ministers on issues important to Shepparton.

Her appearance with another Labor minister and candidate this week and her voting pattern on issues like the CFA show where Ms Sheed’s allegiances lie.

Mr Gray should also be more transparent about his own political leanings, while he may not be a member of a political party he has been very vocal in his support for Ms Sheed and a couple of state elections ago was seen chauffeuring the Labor upper house candidate around on election day. A good newspaper columnist would not let his own political opinions stand in the way of free speech nor resort to name calling and school-yard

Page 8 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1425 Wednesday, October 3, 2018

bullying tactics to discourage contributions from those who do not agree with him.

Yours sincerely, Wendy Lovell Member for Northern Victoria Region BRING ON THE ELECTION Dear Editor, It is pleasing that Suzanna Sheed used her last speech in state parliament to push for radiotherapy services to be established in Shepparton (‘Commit to a new cancer centre: MP’ Shepparton in the media on September 26). It is just as pleasing that in her comments Ms Sheed recognises the tireless work of the Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell in fighting on this issue.

A search of Hansard shows that in the last four years Ms Lovell has raised in parliament the issue of radiotherapy in Shepparton 55 times. To her credit, Ms Sheed has raised it an additional four times over that same period. What Ms Sheed’s comments show is what a lot of people in the Shepparton electorate already suspected; as an independent Ms Sheed can do nothing more than lobby the two major parties, the only two parties that will hold government and thus control the state’s finances, for a commitment to establish radiotherapy in Shepparton.

The next member for Shepparton must be someone who sits in a major party room, helping to develop policy and directly negotiating with specific ministers for the betterment of Shepparton. Come November 24, that someone is Cheryl Hammer.

Yours sincerely, Gwen Parsons Shepparton

WELL DONE SUZANNA Dear Editor, Who would have thought a few short years ago that Shepparton would be held up as a shining example of what can be achieved when the political winds change? A recent letter to the editor in the Sunraysia Daily (September 21, 2018) highlighted the benefit of “a good strong independent.” Suzanna Sheed and Shepparton are being looked to by other regional cities for positive inspiration.

Well done Suzanna. Your hard work, selflessness and diplomacy have been of incredible benefit to our entire community. Sure we still have our problems and there is still much to be done to bring our district back from the investment wasteland it once was. However with over $0.5 billion in critical infrastructure and service spending we are on our way. As the parties fight tooth and nail amongst themselves, in the seat that was once forgotten, Suzanna is getting on with the job of representing our community.

In the spirit of transparency I would like to note that I will be again a part of Suzanna’s campaign team and will volunteer much of my time as well as financially contribute to the effort.

I encourage anyone who wants to see Shepparton stay independent to do the same.

Here’s hoping our Independent is returned with a clear majority so she can continue to keep the needs of our community on the agendas of any government of the day.

Yours sincerely, Carrie Donaldson Shepparton

Election promise to install CCTV in Mooroopna THE Liberal Nationals Government has pledged to provide $250,000 towards extending the Greater Shepparton City Council’s CCTV security camera network to the shopping area in Mooroopna if elected in November.

CCT V programs have been widely successful in improving residents’ feelings of safety and security as well as assisting Victoria Police in responding to crime.

Having an extensive CCTV network throughout the activities hub in Mooroopna will act as a deterrent for would be criminals and assist police in catching criminals when they do offend.

Shadow Minister for Community Safety, Ed O’Donohue said, “A Matthew Guy Government will make Victoria safe again.

“Violent crime and anti-social behaviour is out of control and communities like Shepparton, Tatura and Mooroopna are paying the price.”

The Liberal candidate for Shepparton, Cheryl Hammer said, “The community has seen a sharp rise in breakins and vandalism to businesses here in Mooroopna and traders have had enough.

“I have worked closely with the local traders for months

Page 10 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1425 Wednesday, October 3, 2018

to deliver these safety measures to help keep their property and their livelihoods safe. I have listened to their calls for a tougher approach to crime in their town and this has led to today’s announcement.”

The Nationals candidate for Shepparton, Peter Schwarz said, “Installing CCTV in Mooroopna’s shopping precinct will deter opportunistic criminals, making it safer for shop owners, workers and customers.

“Better security in Mooroopna is just one way we’ll make communities in the Shepparton district safer if we’re elected to government at the November state election.”

Author to speak about Ned Kelly book A STORY UNTOLD… Author, Leo Kennedy will be speaking about his new book, Black Snake: the Real Story of Ned Kelly at local libraries this month. Image: Supplied.

AUTHOR, Leo Kennedy will be speaking about his new book, Black Snake: the Real Story of Ned Kelly, at Euroa and Nagambie libraries on Tuesday, October 23 and at Cobram and Shepparton libraries on Wednesday, October 24.

Leo Kennedy is the great-grandson of Sergeant Michael Kennedy and he was raised in the shadow of his great grandfather’s murder. Leo lives with his family in Melbourne, where he works as a lawyer and he is a member of the Blue Ribbon Foundation. Leo wrote Black Snake with Mic Looby.

Mic is a writer, editor and illustrator. He is the author of the novel Paradise Updated, a co-creator of six children’s picture books and a scriptwriter for television.

The story of Ned Kelly is Australia’s most heralded myth.

Black Snake tells the victim’s side of the story for the first time. Written by the great grandson of one of the policemen

murdered at Stringybark Creek, Black Snake is the most compelling rebuttal of the Ned Kelly myth ever told.

The story of Ned Kelly is also the untold story of Michael Kennedy, the police sergeant slain and robbed by the outlaw 140 years ago. Both Kennedy and Kelly were Irish immigrants struggling to make their way in the new colonies of Australia – Kennedy was committed to defending the law, while Kelly was hell-bent on breaking it. When their paths crossed one fateful day at Stringybark Creek, it triggered the end for one and the beginning of an incredible myth about the other.

Leo will be speaking at Euroa Library at 2pm and Nagambie Library at 7pm on Tuesday, October 23 and at Cobram Library at 2pm and Shepparton Library at 7pm on Wednesday, October 24.

For bookings, phone the library where you would like to attend the talk on 1300 374 765. Phone Nagambie Library by Friday, October 19, Euroa Library by 12noon on Saturday, October 20, and Cobram and Shepparton libraries by Tuesday, October 23.

SPC sells IXL and Taylor’s brands

FOLLOW ING the announcement of a planned divestment of IXL Jam and Taylor’s Marinade and Sauces in January, SPC has announced the sale of these iconic Australian brands to the Kyabram Conserves company.

SPC managing director, Reg Weine said the new owners would continue to process IXL and Taylor’s locally from the existing site in Kyabram, with the existing workforce.

“This is a good outcome for IXL and Taylor’s and good news for the Goulburn Valley,” Mr Weine said.

“IXL and Taylor’s are great brands, but the spreads and sauces/marinades categories were a small part of the SPC portfolio and it was better we focused on areas where we have a more distinct competitive advantage.

Page 12 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1425 Wednesday, October 3, 2018

“ H o w e v e r, w e h a d a great sense of responsibility in ensuring these heritage brands found a good home and that’s been achieved in this sale.

“We welcome the commitments from the new owners for continued local production and jobs, and a continued focus on delighting Australians with this world-class range of jams, sauces and marinades.”

Dookie pollen trap springs into action VICTORIA’S world-leading epidemic thunderstorm asthma forecasting system, with pollen traps in Dookie, was switched on Monday, marking the start of Victoria’s grass pollen season.

Victoria’s deputy chief health officer, Dr Angie Bone says with the forecasting system now live, Victorians can monitor the forecast and those at increased risk can take actions to protect themselves on high-risk days.

“The system also enables health professionals and emergency services to be prepared on days of increased risk,” Dr Bone said.

“The forecasts are available throughout Victoria’s grass pollen season, typically from October through December.”

Data from pollen traps across Victoria, like Dookie, is used to verify the forecasting system’s statistical model, which is used to produce epidemic thunderstorm asthma forecasts.

Dr Bone said following the forecast is just one way people can take action to protect themselves.

“The best way to protect yourself from thunderstorm asthma is through good management of asthma and hay fever,” Dr Bone said.

“We want everyone – especially people with asthma and hay fever – to be as prepared as they can all year round,” Dr Bone said.

Epidemic thunderstorm asthma forecasts are available on the VicEmergency app and at http://emergency.vic.gov.au/ prepare/#thunderstorm-asthma-forecast More information about thunderstorm asthma is available on the Better Health Channel at www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/thunderstormasthma Pollen observations and forecasts are available at www. melbournepollen.com.au and www.deakin.edu.au/apps/sebe/ airwatch/ and via the Melbourne Pollen Count App.

UCI BMX Supercross World Cup comes to Shepparton

SWOOPING SEASON BEGINS… Swooping season has begun as magpies protect their nesting territory. Photo: Supplied.

Swooping season underway THE Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) is reminding Victorians that some bird species may swoop people as part of their normal breeding behaviour.

DELWP program manager compliance operations, Greg Chant said, “The first incidents of birds swooping at locations in Hume have been reported over the past month.

“We have already had reports of Plovers, Mudlarks and Australian Magpies swooping people in the Alpine areas.

“Being swooped by a territorial bird is no fun, but this is just normal bird behaviour and, if possible, the best response is to keep away from the area.

“As the weather starts to warm up, birds start breeding and we want people to be aware of swooping birds.

“Some of the places where people are most likely to be swooped are public spaces such as parks particularly where there are tall eucalypts.

“People should remember not to harm native birds as they are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975.

“If you do end up in an area where there is a swooping bird, try to protect your head and eyes and move quickly through the area.

“They are swooping to defend their eggs and young and if they perceive you to be a potential threat, they may swoop.

“DELWP encourages people to share information about swooping birds by logging their encounter on our swoop map,” Mr Chant said.

To report a swooping incident by any species of bird on Victoria’s swooping bird map, visit delwp.vic.gov. au/environment-and-wildlife/wildlife/swooping-birds

FOR the first time in over 10 years a Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) BMX Supercross World Cup event will be held in Australia with over 200 of the world’s best male and female BMX riders from over 30 countries participating in the event in Greater Shepparton.

The opening rounds of the 2020 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup will be held on Saturday, February 1 and Sunday, February 2 and will be one of the last major BMX events before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with qualifying points still occurring.

Over 3,000 people are expected to attend the event with around 2,000 visitors expected to be coming from intrastate, interstate and internationally.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said hosting the UCI BMX World Cup Supercross rounds in 2020 is a fantastic coup for Greater Shepparton as this event further enhances our reputation as a leading major sporting event destination in regional Australia.

“We are truly excited to be welcoming the world’s best female and male BMX athletes and an expected 3,000 plus visitors from across Australia and the world generating in excess of $1M in economic stimulation for our region. This event will help to fill our city’s accommodation, our restaurants and eating establishments, our retail and tourism sectors to help keep local businesses busy and the economy strong,” Cr O’Keeffe said.

“In partnership with the Victorian Government and the Shepparton BMX Club we are just finishing our Greater Shepparton Regional BMX track upgrade in the Shepparton Sports City precinct which includes Victoria’s first eight metre start hill, new track lighting for racing, junior development pumps track and new concrete berms.”

YOU’VE got to love this gorgeous spring weather and now’s a great time to get out into the garden to plant tomatoes and summer veggies. Emerald Bank is abuzz with activity each and every day but as spring hits, the

Riverside Gardens Nursery at Emerald Bank is bursting with new stock.

Riverside Gardens business co-owner, Larry Smith said, “As the weather and the ground is warmer, now’s the ideal time for planting, and as the winter sports season ends, people have time to spend in the garden.

“It’s a good idea to check on your watering systems and make sure you’re keeping enough water up to the plants as the season heats up.

“Our stock range is changing weekly and with many of the plants coming from

Melbourne’s cooler climate, they’re flowering a little later.”

Why not explore Riverside Gardens’ fantastic range of plants and garden supplies at Emerald Bank this Sunday while the markets are on. Emerald Bank is the home of a variety of shops and cafés, the Shepparton Motor Museum and so much more.

Enjoy all on offer at Emerald Bank including The Village Market and the Shepparton Farmer’s Market, this Sunday, October 7 from 9am to 1pm.

Investment in Girgarre to create new dairy jobs

CELEBRATE WITH A SPECIAL OPEN DAY… Lifestyle Shepparton is celebrating the official opening of its final stage of development with a special Open Day on Saturday, October 6. Image: Supplied.

Official opening of Lifestyle’s final stage

RESORT-STYLE living was a relatively new concept to Shepparton only six years ago when Lifestyle Shepparton turned the first clod of dirt for its ‘over 50s community. Three hundred homes later, Lifestyle Shepparton is now recognised as the place to go for an active, social and relaxing lifestyle for people wanting to downsize from their family home.

To celebrate the official opening of the final stage, Lifestyle Shepparton welcomes visitors to their Open Day on Saturday, October 6. Lifestyle Communities’ managing director, James Kelly will be in Shepparton to open the new multi-purpose pavilion and display homes. Running from 10am until 2pm, the Open Day will showcase new two and three bedroom display homes and will have completed homes open for inspection.

By offering affordable, low maintenance homes for people over aged 50, Lifestyle Shepparton prov ide s a hol id ay lifestyle complete with indoor and outdoor pool, cinema, gym, tennis and croquet courts, lawn bowls and workshop – something many people may have believed to be out of reach. The new multi-purpose pavilion adds a barbeque terrace, outdoor gym equipment and off-leash dog area to the already brimming list of facilities.

Construction of the last few homes begins in October and ‘Open Day’ offers people the chance to investigate what’s possible within their budget and explore options for their future. Call 5821 5155 for further enquiries or to RSVP for the day.

T H E A nd rews L abor G overn ment is backing Australian Consolidated Milk’s (ACM) huge new dairy manufacturing facility in Girgarre, creating 50 jobs and strengthening the dairy sector in northern Victoria.

Based in Kyabram, ACM is one of Australia’s fastest growing dairy companies, with 185 dairy farmers supplying 330,000 litres of milk for distribution to various milk processors, yogurt producers and cheese makers.

The Labor Government is supporting ACM’s investment in the Girgarre project to create new jobs, expand exports and help workers affected by the closure of the Murray Goulburn processing facility in Rochester.

The $55M project will deliver a new dairy processing plant that will produce milk powders, butter and cream from both organic and conventional milk for domestic and export markets.

The new facility will be capable of generating an estimated $15M each year in new dairy exports.

Construction of the new facility is well underway, with commissioning to begin in late November and commercial production of milk powder and butter expected by April 2019.

Construction of the facility is supporting 100 jobs, with plenty of opportunity for local contractors to secure work. ACM will also provide opportunities for former Murray Goulburn workers to upskill and work at the new facility.

The Girgarre processing plant will be built on ACM’s existing Curr Road site, which is part of the former Heinz tomato sauce factory site and well connected to freight routes and essential infrastructure.

A LOVE FOR THE FJ HOLDEN… Local resident, Ray Reid has a love for the FJ Holden, which he raced in the 1970s. Photos: Supplied.

Finding an old friend When it’s been over 40 years since you last caught up with an old mate with whom you used to have some great times, looking forward to meeting up once again after all that time is always going to be an exciting occasion.

That was kind of how local resident, Ray Reid felt when the possibility of finding his first race car once again, at the speedway stand of the Australian National Show and Shine Euroa on October 7.

Back in the early 1970s, a friend surprised Ray by unveiling an FJ Holden race car that he had restored, and announced that he wanted Ray to co-drive it at speedway race meetings.

The car was called GV99, bright tomato red and adorned with BP and WYNN’S stickers from the duo’s sponsors and even had Ray’s name already painted on the car.

The pair won their fair share of races around the Goulburn Valley, and at Bendigo Showgrounds, a location where Ray’s co-driver tried his best to destroy the car several times.

After moving on to another car, an EJ Holden, Ray lost track of the old GV99 in the early 1980s Apparently though, GV99 had gained enough fame that another local historic speedway and early Holden aficionado, Tom James, decided to build a replica of the car, the original having long since been raced to death and assigned to the scrap metal dealer.

Page 22 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1425 Wednesday, October 3, 2018

Tom did a brilliant job with the replica GV99 and it raced competitively for a long time at the hands of several drivers with the ‘Humpy Holdens’ a group, which undertook ‘spirited demonstrations’ with vintage speedway cars.

One meeting at Wahgunyah, driven by Richard Damm, GV99 broke a back axle, rolled and crashed heavily, necessitating a serious re-build. The car then later passed to another owner, and reportedly blew a motor, then spending some time languishing in a shed.

With the next Euroa Show and Shine close at hand, and the prospect of getting GV99 to his speedway stand, Ray undertook a painstaking process of trying to track down the car. Thankfully, with the immense help of a number of friends, and including Facebook searches, phone calls and emails, he eventually tracked the car to Col Saville from Corowa.

Ray said, “I was absolutely delighted when, on my first contact with Col, he agreed to get the car mobile and bring it to Euroa for the show.

“So when you come to the Euroa Show and Shine on October 7, be sure to call by our speedway stand (it’s in area five) and say g’day. Col will be happy to talk about the car, and I too will certainly have some old stories as well, about the much-loved FJ Holden, GV99.”

S GLITTERING GOLD… The cathedral inside the Kremlin in Moscow with its gold onion dome towers.

STUNNING EXTERIOR… The stunning exterior of St Basils in the Red Square Moscow.

STRIKE A POSE… Jenny and Gerry posing with a bear at Yaraslavi.

From the

Philippines to Russia THIS was to be a holiday to remember for Jenny and Gerry Goonan; a chance to catch up with family, renew old friendship and discover Russian history on a cruise along the Volga River.

It all started in the Philippines where Jenny and Gerry caught up with family. Their son, Mathew and grandchildren, Sarah, 10, and Isabel, 8, live there so it was a chance to spend their days sightseeing and swimming with the grandkids.

Next they were off to the UK. Jenny and Gerry had lived in England for 12 months in 1999 so this was an opportunity to renew old friendships.

It was hot. There had been no rain for so long that Hyde Park was brown but they took time to revisit some major attractions.

Next they made their way to Newcastle to seek out family history from the church where family had married, to the graveyard where they were buried.

Then onto Glasgow where they hired a car and drove to Loch Lomond, then headed to Fort William with its many locks and visiting old castles and other attractions along the way.

At Falkirk they saw the huge wheel that lifts boats from the lower waterway up 100 metres to the next canal so they can continue on their way. Gerry says it’s an incredible piece of engineering and tourists arrive on busses so they can board a boat to experience the journey on the wheel 100 metres up and back down again.

They now made their way to Edinburgh for a night before flying to Helsinki where they joined a Viking Cruise to Moscow.

They had three days exploring Helsinki staying in a luxury hotel as guests of Viking Cruises, then a fast train to St Petersburg where they would sail on the Volar River to Moscow.

STUNING INTERIOR… The stunning interior of the Hermitage in St Petersburg.

In St Petersburg they stayed on their cruise ship from where they explored the city. They visited the Hermitage Museum with its grand collection of fabulous works of art and displays. They saw Catherine the Great’s palace with its grand mirrored halls and the Amber Room and even went to the ballet to see Swan Lake.

They now set sail for Moscow. Their ship was magnificent with only 200 passengers.

The accommodation, the staff, the food and the entertainment were all five star.

As they sailed along there were lectures on Russian History and at each stop along the way a visit to historic onion domed churches and log cabins used by the early Russians peasants.

They passed through some 27 locks during the journey and crossed Lake Ladoga, which is so big it’s like an inland sea with weather to match.

On arrival in Moscow their ship again became their stationary home for the three days. They had to explore the city and they saw the Red Square, St Basils Church and of course no visit to Moscow would be complete without seeing the Kremlin.

The walled city contains many magnificent buildings, from where Ivan the Terrible ruled to today where Putin has his offices of command.

Jenny and Gerry loved the history and the feel of Moscow. At the end of their three days it was time to fly home but not without a two day stopover in Singapore.

Their seven weeks away have given them some wonderful experiences and memories.

Jenny and Gerry would like to thank Lauren of Lyn McNaught Travel in Mooroopna for arranging everything.

Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance.

New plans for townships adopted by council

GR E AT E R Sheppa r ton Cit y Cou ncil has resolved to adopt the Greater Shepparton Townships Framework Plan Review 2018 (the review) at the September ordinary council meeting.

The review updates and builds upon the Greater Shepparton Housing Strategy 2011, focusing on the nine townships that the Housing Strategy provided framework plans for, excluding the Shepparton, Kialla and Mooroopna urban areas.

Importantly, the review assesses each township against a number of criteria, recognising that each township is different and a ‘one size fits all approach’ is not always appropriate.

Key recommendations of the review include updating

the Framework Plans to address changes since the Housing Strategy was developed in 2011, identifying additional residential land in Tatura, and the need for Growth Plans to be prepared that consider the opportunities and constraints of each township and utilise a holistic approach to shape future growth.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said, “Community, agency and stakeholder consultation has been an integral part of the review. This

“It i s i mp or t a nt t h at g row t h i s maintained on a number of fronts, providing choice and variety in the housing market and accommodating projected population growth over at least a 15 year period.

“Although the Shepparton, Mooroopna and Kialla urban areas will accommodate the majority of this population growth, the outlying townships continue to provide for a variety of housing and lifestyle opportunities, as well as supporting growth in our farming areas with community facilities, schools, local shops and industries.”

GREATER Shepparton sports clubs will soon be enjoying modern sports facilities thanks to a funding boost from State Government.

Greater Shepparton will receive $250,000 for Princess Park Lighting Upgrade including the installation of new sports floodlights for John Riordan Oval to provide opportunities

for night football to be played at Princess Park and $250,000 for Active, Play and Skate Youth SPOTS which will see 12 innovative active youth SPOT modules constructed in seven small towns to provide young people with play, skate and active spaces.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said, “This funding will go a long way to supporting the growing number of people our region.

“This will benefit all users of the recreation reserve and include a significant power consolidation to enable the new 200 LUX Sports Floodlighting.”

Close but Melton netballers no match for Grammar girls

By Kate Adams GOULBURN Valley Grammar School’s (GVGS) Intermediate Girls Netball Team took out top spot at the Intermediate School Girls Championship recently, going up against Melton Secondary College and securing the win by just one goal.

Held at the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Melbourne on September 4 the GVGS team were undefeated in their pool, winning their

first final to get into the Grand Final. It was a close match with scores level at the end of the game, forcing the two teams to battle it out in two three minute halves of extra time. Being down by one goal, the GVGS girls were able to take the lead by one goal just before the siren sounded, with the opposition making a last ditch effort on the siren, attempting to level the scores but missing leaving the Grammar girls walking away as victors.
