Could we benefit from a free entry splash park?

By David Lee A FREE entry splash park could be just the thing that Shepparton needs and has already proven to be a success with Tocumwal’s newly opened splash park facility, which is seeing over 500 people visit daily.

Tocumwal’s $900,000 splash park is the first part of a major redevelopment of the Tocumwal Foreshore valued at $3.2M dollars, which once complete is anticipated to attract many visitors and tourists to the area.

Are you a proud Rat of Tobruk descendant?

ANY locals who are a descendant of a Rat of Tobruk are being given the chance to meet and talk with other descendants as part of the only surviving Rats of Tobruk Association in Australia.

In World War II, a large number of men from the Goulburn Valley and North East District fought at Tobruk (Libya), during the historic 242 day siege. The men who fought at Tobruk during the siege become known as the mighty Rats of Tobruk and following the war, the Goulburn Valley and North East District had a very active sub-branch of the Rats of Tobruk Association. Due to a reduced number of surviving veterans, the local association closed down, but there is still one association remaining in Melbourne.

Rats of Tobruk Association Inc membership officer and proud son of a rat, Mike Kiernan said, “A number of years ago the then surviving veteran members decided to open membership to descendants of Tobruk veterans. Since then our membership has grown to over 500 decedents from across Australia.

“There are still a number of original rats who regularly attend our meetings and functions, including our president, Bob Semple.

“I would like to encourage any decedents of Rats of Tobruk living in the Goulburn Valley and North East District to consider

Comparing that with previous years, the storage levels were over 2,500,000ML in 2015 and 2017 at the beginning of January, but historical records show that the water levels typically rise between August and October.

Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) manager river operations, A nd rew Sh ields said,

“Conditions have been very dry for an extended period. Inflows to Eildon over the last 12 months have been around 56 percent of average inflows. The Bureau of Meteorology’s Annual Climate Statement 2018 identified the year as being the third warmest on record.

“Demand for water out of Lake Eildon, from entitlement holders, has been high with the prevailing dry conditions.

“GMW manages the operations of Lake Eildon and it is operating as expected. Its water reserves have helped to enable the current seasonal determination against High Reliability Water Shares in the Goulburn system reach 94 Andrew Shields percent.”

Shepparton Art Museum’s (SAM) summer school holiday program is packed with creative workshops and events to keep the kids entertained.

Designed to entertain kids and adults alike, SAM has a range of free and low cost activities operating from January 21-25 where creators can make special gifts and memories for families to keep forever.

On Monday, January 21, there will be free collaborative drawing at the Maude Street Mall, where kids will collectively design an enormous, large-scale floor drawing to take over the mall.

The events throughout the remainder of the week will incur a small fee and take place at the SAM building on Welsford Street. On Tuesday, there will be ‘Sew a Softie,’ where for $5 children can craft a small soft toy using simple sewing techniques.

Wednesday is for ‘Weave ‘n Play,’ lead by Slow Art Collective, allowing families the chance to get experimental with weaving techniques.

Everything is peaceful and quiet for ‘Slow Down World’ on Thursday, where families can join artist and 2017 Australian Book Industry Award-winning author, Tai Snaith for reading and a practical workshop.

Lastly, children are encouraged to explore notions of identity in a ‘Cut and Paste’ collage activity, inspired by and reflected in Craftivism, SAM’s current exhibition.

SAM curator, Lara Merrington said,

Young rally racer ready for

next endeavour

By Ash Beks AT AGE 7, Josh Bohm began getting into racing. He started out young, jutting around full speed on a go-kart, pedal to the floor and instantly out-performing everyone else on the track. Josh’s dad, motoring enthusiast, Darren Bohm, noted his son’s assured fearlessness on the track and how considerably better he performed drifting in wet weather.

“This kid’s gonna race,” Darren excitedly told his motoring mates at the time.

Later, Josh learned to drive standing up between the door and steering wheel of one of his dad’s fixer-uppers and in a blink of his parent’s eye, Josh was competing in autocross in Mooroopna, at age 14.

It’s evident that Josh has racing in his bones and it’s a passion that runs throughout his family. Darren can remember his own dad’s enthusiasm for cars, something evidenced by the array of old and new

Page 12 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1439 Wednesday, January 16, 2019

vehicles scattered across their property, including Darren’s first ever car.

Just last year in November, Josh became only the third ever junior to be granted an exemption to race in the Victorian Rally Championship. At age 17 and still only holding a learners permit, Josh became the youngest ever person to get such an exemption and was granted permission to race in the Excel Rally Series.

With seemingly no concept of going slow or taking it easy, Josh absolutely dominated on the track and became the youngest winner of any series in Victorian rally history, winning outright well before the completion of all heats.

Currently, Josh and Darren are still very excited, reeling from the November win.

However, their attention has already shifted to the next campaign and the pair is working hard on the 1992 Nissan Silvia S13 featured in these pictures. Dedicating several nights a

week and some weekends to the task, Josh and Darren are enthusiastically working together as father and son toward the next race.

Darren said, “Everything Josh has achieved at such a young age is unbelievable.

“As parents, we are extremely proud of all his achievements.

“I think Josh has a great career ahead of him and we are excited to see how he races in the future.

“Nothing would be possible without the help of our sponsors and we would like to say a big thanks to Alan Roe Bosch Car Service, Whiting and Co.

Greater Shepparton City C ou nci l M a nager Ac t ive Living, David Booth said, “Splash parks in open spaces can be successful however like many new features need to be considered over the long term. The initial investment and the ongoing operational costs are considerable and so most successful splash parks form part of a broader offering of attractions.

“The current location of the splash park within Aquamoves makes it difficult to make it available free of charge. In addition,

the Aquamoves splash park is supervised by lifeguards and therefore provides an added level of safety for families using it.

“Council will continue to consider splash parks as part of a number of future developments. The Aquamoves Masterplan will consider the future of the existing splash park as part of future development.

The Merrigum splash park (adjacent to the Merrigum Swimming Pool) is expected to be completed before the 2019/20 summer season and t he up com i ng K id sTow n redevelopment design will also consider the benefits of incorporating a water feature into that design.”

By David Lee THE start of the year saw two big days for the Murchison Bowls Club, with the club hosting both the inaugural Campbells Cup (CC) and the reformed Presidents Cup tournament.

On Friday, January 4, 18 teams converged on the club to compete on good grass greens for the inaugural CC. The CC trophy and prize money, sponsored by Campbells Australia, was won by Barry Ibbott’s team from Hilltop Bowls Club with the runner-up being the trio from

Rushworth whose power play of eight shots got them over the last hurdle.

Murchison Bowls Club president, Geoff Higgins said, “A couple of new innovations were trialled with great success and bowlers having a lot of good fun and banter.”

On the Saturday, the club hosted the Presidents Cup tournament, which is sponsored by WIZZ Coating.

Twenty teams competed in cooler but very blustery conditions with the final washout being 5/3 game winners playing off for the coveted trophy and cash prize. Two

teams from Euroa, the Murchison team, Shepp Golf team and Stanhope team played a three end play-off with the Stanhope team of Jenny Crilly, Peter Sherman and Berry Fletcher out-bowling their Euroa opposition of Bill O’ Conner, Peter O’ Connor and Bruce Doherty.

Geoff said, “A great day had by all and many thanks to the catering girls and club members who filled in the discrepancy of team numbers at short notice. As usual, Lester did a tireless job as tournament manager.”

Start the year off on the right foot THE Shepparton Runners Club (SRC) will have its first 3km handicap race for 2019 on Tuesday, January 22 with the first heat to start at 6:15pm, then C Grade 6:35pm, B Grade 6:55pm, A Grade 7:05pm.

This event aims to be inclusive to all levels of running. SRC coach, Chris Armstrong said, “We have had participants of all ages and abilities achieving from 20+ minutes to 8 minutes and 48 seconds for the 3km and have people of all ages…from 10 up to 65.

Everyone is welcome to participate.

“We have had 50+ participants for both

our previous races. The atmosphere of everyone watching and cheering each other on is great.”

The SRC has been fortunate enough to have generous sponsors at Intersport Shepparton provide $30 vouchers to give away to the winners of the handicaps and this will continue on again in 2019. There will be a presentation of the $30 vouchers to the handicap winners for senior male and female as well as junior male and female.
