By David Lee IF WE don’t get a decent amount of rain soon, the disastrous outcomes could spell the end for local orchards according to concerned long-term orchardist, Bill Sali.

Water levels at Lake Eildon are currently

at 35.80 percent of capacity, which is the lowest it has been in seven years with 2016 being the only other year since 2013 where levels were this low. The Shepparton region has also experienced its lowest average mean rainfall in at least the past four years, only

recording 266.4mm last year.

Bill said, “My main concern is that Lake Eildon has gotten down to such a level that there isn’t enough water for carry over water for next year.

the failure of government to reverse it is a topic that has been expressed as the major issue on people’s minds.

WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR THE ELECTORATE?

I firmly believe that if we can return irrigation supplies to the region we can return prosperity to the electorate. It will generate jobs in service and processing industries that would flow onto ancillary industries and community services. We need to get sound foundations to build on.

Jeremy Parker PARTY: Independent

Prioritising the needs of the electorate to needs as opposed to wants would be a starting point combined with action to fight to scrap the MDBP to return our foundation, water. Local members of parliament need to be a true voice for the electorate so I would establish regular lines of community feedback on current concerns for them.

The main focus of my campaign revolves around abolishing the Murray Darling Basin Plan (MDBP) and returning water to the electorate. Irrigated agriculture was the foundation of our community supporting a wide range of businesses that provided jobs. By returning water we can build on issues such as education, health and looking after the less fortunate. A common sensed approach and practical

The MDBP is the worst economic mistake to ever happen to regional Australia, it was ultimately just another environmental experiment that has failed and has cost our people billions of dollars.

We have spent decades of hard work building some of the most impressive water infrastructure in the world, we should be using it to its full potential.

My plan of action will be to create cheap water for irrigators, call for tariffs and other measures to protect our producers, processors and protect our region’s jobs and workers.

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 EMPEROR HAS NO FUNDED POLICIES Dear Editor, The man who would be PM Bill Shorten has been asked what his climate change policies would cost? Not once, but five times by a young journalist from the Ten Network. Bill skated and fudged whilst not answering the question. All voters need policy detail and costing so they can work out whether they will be better or worse off.

As an example, a Toyota HiLux costs the average family around $50,000. Under the opposition policy, in order to meet their electric car policy of 50 percent by 2030, they plan to introduce a carbon tax on cars, using the Norway model.

This will result in the Toyota costing $62,000, based on a formula that charges you an extra fee per kilometre where your carbon emissions exceed a designated base. Norway’s fossil fuel excise puts petrol at $3 a litre and they add a weight tax. Now your Toyota HiLux costs over $90,000. No wonder Bill doesn’t want you to know their real intention.

To date the renewable subsidy has led to under investment in base load power, namely coal fired power. Our energy bills have more than doubled based on our Paris target of 25 percent. Ask yourself what will happen to your energy bill, standard of living and business if we target 45 percent? Cost to Economy $60B! Goodbye Jobs, Goodbye Economy!

Yours sincerely, Simon Forbes Sydney, NSW Want to have your say?

a dream come true

By David Lee JUST under eight years ago I was given the opportunity to have a dream realised when I was selected to join the team at The Adviser as a journalist. Little did I know though, just how much more I would gain through growing with the role.

Being a journalist within the local community has been an amazing experience. I have to say, one thing I enjoyed more than any other element to the role has been meeting so many wonderful and interesting people and being able to tell their stories. I started as a ‘freshman’ in the industry and have not only been able to hone my skills as a journalist, but have learned the art of photography (another passion of mine). On top of all of that has been working my way toward heading up the editorial department. Working within and leading such a wonderful team over the years has been something I will cherish for the rest of my life.

It is incredibly rewarding being able to work within such a strong and focussed team to produce a publication that I quite often hear the community saying they thoroughly enjoy. The role of senior journalist, photographer and editorial manager comes with its challenges, and when you find solutions to anything that comes your way, you get a great sense of gratification.

I will miss working alongside such a magnificent team, meeting all the amazing people across the community and being an essential part to informing the local community on topics and issues that matter to them, but this experience will stay in my heart forever. I would highly recommend anybody interested in the field to apply and give it a real go.

“Just in time for winter, we’ve got plenty of roast options available to order,” Emma said, “Our much-loved, 48-hour, slow-cooked beef and pork range is back! It’s so simple to prepare; you simply shove it in the oven for 15 minutes and it’s ready to go!”

Disaster looming Water woes could spell end for foodbowl continued from front page

By David Lee “THE unbundling of water rights was the biggest crime in agriculture in Australia, because it opened the door for the wealthy to make money out of the farmers...plus they don’t pay anything for the storage of water I am led to believe. Farmers pay for storage…in fact everything is just pay, pay, pay for the farmer,” Bill said.

“Water is the biggest cost for the farmer and they just cannot afford to buy any more. I know a number of orchardists who ran out of water this year and had to pay for more.

“The madness is that the water is going down the river and out the to the ocean.

“We need to strike a balance for the environment and where food is being produced areas and human consumption.

“People have this idea that dams have been put into place to look after the environment. My understanding is they were to hold water back for human consumption and farming.

“There is also a rumour going around at the moment that there could be a shortage in milk by end of May. “I’ve been on the land for 66 years this year and I’ve never heard of this happening.

“People have the wrong idea about water. In the Goulburn Valley everything

revolves around water and people are just taking it for granted.

“If we start importing water we will run into trouble. There is no country in the world that is as clean and green as Australia is when it comes to producing food for human consumption and we don’t want anything to change that.

“If we don’t get more rain through the winter we are in real trouble because it’s already too late.

“There’s no foodbowl without water.”

Community feedback called upon THE Moira Shire Council is seeking community, business and stakeholder feedback following the release of its draft 2019/20 budget and four-year Strategic Resource Plan (SRP).

Mayor of Moira Shire, Cr Libro Mustico said, “Our draft 2019/20 budget and SRP aims to balance the many and often competing needs of the Moira community.

Now, we are asking he community to tell us whether we have got the balance right.”

Moira Shire has almost 30,000 residents spread across a large land area and this was a key consideration in developing council’s annual budget and four year SRP. “We provide the same or similar services in multiple locations so we have a large number of assets to maintain,” Cr Mustica said.

“For example, council maintains 28 recreation reserves, showgrounds and swimming pools, more than 150 parks, gardens, playgrounds and public toilets, four libraries, a mobile library service and nine waste transfer stations.”

I n 2019/ 20, Moira Shire Cou ncil proposes delivery of new assets and the expansion, upgrade and renewal of existing assets following community consultation and successful grant applications.

Community members are invited to discuss their ideas and feedback on the

Justices of the Peace servicing the community

“I am following in my grandmother’s footsteps as she was a JP back in the 1940s in NSW.” Phame McCall, JP

TH E Document Signing Centre at Shepparton Police Station was originated approximately 10 years ago by Irene Lia, Justice of the Peace (JP), and Terry Whitehead, Shepparton Police. Since then it has become widely known and is serviced by a group of dedicated JP who volunteer their time to deal with statutory declarations, affidavits and certification of a wide range of documents.

Coordinator of JP Signing Centre, B ruce Milne J P said last year J P volunteers dealt with 11,289 documents for the 3,379 members of the community.

“An endeavour is made to provide the service on week days (excluding public holidays) between the hours of 9am and 1pm, there are however a few unintended occasions due to illness or other reasons that the service will not be available.

“In order to provide and maintain the service there is a need for other Justices of the Peace to contribute their time to a very worthy and satisfying service to the community.

“The Oaths and Affirmations Act 2018 came into operation on the first of March this year. The purposes of the act are to modernise the law relating to oaths, affirmations, affidavits and statutory declarations; and, to establish

JP, Phame McCall said, “Sworn in as a JP in 2007, I work in the sign-in centre and enjoy serving the public in this role.

“I am following in my grandmother’s footsteps as she was a JP back in the 1940s in NSW.” Sandra Davis, the youngest of the JPs has been in the role for two years and in that time has loved every minute.

Sandra said, “I love meeting people from all cultures who come to the centre for their requirements.

“I attended a learning seminar in February and am excited to be bringing back some changes that are set to be introduced in the coming months with statutory declarations and affidavits.”

The list of persons authorised to witness statutory declarations and sign documents has been considerably extended and now includes occupational

therapist, chiropractor, physiotherapist, dentist, psychologist, midwife, nurse, optometrist, bailiff, registered minister of religion, school principal, sheriff, sheriffs officer, veterinary surgeon or teacher employed on a permanent full time basis at a school or tertiary education institution and many more.

Pre-winter checklist to keep you safe, warm and dry AUTUMN is the season to prepare the house for the colder and wetter winter weather in Victoria.

To assist households to keep safe, warm and dry during winter, the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) has compiled a checklist.

CHECK YOUR SMOKE ALARMS AND CHANGE BATTERIES: The end of daylight savings on Sunday 7 April was a trigger to check that your smoke alarms are working properly. It is recommended that you change your smoke alarm battery every 12 months. It’s not too late to check.

HAVE YOUR GAS HEATER SERVICED: The VBA and Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) recommend that gas heaters are serviced at least once every two years by a gasfitter registered or licensed in Type A appliance servicing work. As part of servicing your gas appliance, the gasfitter will test for carbon monoxide (CO) spillage and negative pressure, two key risks for CO poisoning.

If the gasfitter identifies CO spillage, it must be rectified immediately as CO exposure can put lives at risk. This may require the appliance to be repaired or disconnected.

If the gasfitter identifies negative pressure, it needs to be rectified. This may require the gasfitter to install additional ventilation.

The gasfitter carrying out the servicing work must provide you with a compliance certificate if the total value of the work is $750 or more.

Using an unqualified or unregistered Page 24 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1455 Wednesday, May 8, 2019

person for this work is unlawful and can put your life at risk.

C H E C K YO U R G U T T E R S A N D DOWNPIPES: To prevent water damage to your property, you should clean your gutters and downpipes regularly to clear leaves and other debris.

This is particularly important in autumn.

Properly maintained gutters and downpipes are vital in moving rainwater from the roof to the stormwater drains or tanks.

If gutters or downpipes are corroded or damaged, they require repair or replacement.

This work must be carried out by a plumber who is registered or licensed in roofing (stormwater) work. If the total cost of the work is $750 or more, the plumber must provide a compliance certificate.

CHECK THE CONDITION OF DECKS AND BALCONIES: Check that rainwater does not pond on deck or balcony surfaces or flow back towards the property or pond at the base of posts or pillars supporting balconies and decks. Other signs of deterioration include cracked concrete or signs of leaning; cracked or weak mortar; or dislodged brickwork/masonry. Termites, wet rot, environmental conditions and loading can all affect the structural integrity of balconies, decks or balustrades.

W H EN looking at entering the property game, there can be many questions that you have about the process, your entitlements and steps needed to take to ensure success, and the answers to these questions and more will be available at an upcoming NAB First Home Buyer Seminar.

Running on June 4 from 6pm at NAB Shepparton branch, 381 Wyndham Street, Shepparton, the event will cover the who’s who in the buying process.

NAB branch manager, David Gillespie said, “There will be information on getting a home, how to speak home loans, lenders mortgage insurance, first home owners grant, choosing a home loan, home loans that suit your needs, how much can I afford, get into your home sooner, repay your home loan sooner, protecting you and your home, settlement day and any other questions you have.

“I feel the customers will get the most value out of us breaking everything down in terms they will understand and remove the bank jargon so everything is simple to understand.

“We will cover all the stages of the home buying process, who is involved and most importantly how much can they afford along with how much of a deposit they need.”

Register for the event by June 4 in branch or phone 5823 8460.

RESTORED RED ROARER… Anthony Monteleone is proud to show off the careful restoration he and his dad Joe have done on this classic 1978 Holden Premier (HZ Series).

Photos: Ash Beks.

Father-son restoration on pristine Holden Premier OR IGI NA LLY found on a farm out between Mooroopna and Undera, Joe Monteleone from Shepparton purchased this gorgeous 1978 Holden Premier (HZ Series) as his first proper passion project.

An avid car fan, Joe had done minor restoration work before, but nothing of this calibre.

The Holden needed a lot of work and Joe enlisted the help of his then 18-year-old son, Anthony. For almost five years, father and son worked hard on the cherished Holden, strengthening family bonds in the process.

There was a lot of work that needed to

Page 26 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1455 Wednesday, May 8, 2019

be done. The exterior was stripped back completely to bare metal and they replaced any rusted panels and pulled out any dints it had. The interior carpet needed to be replaced and the centre console and seats needed reconditioning. They also tuned up the original Holden V8 4.2L 253 engine to its pristine glory and gave the exterior a fresh repaint.

Nowadays, the Holden Premier growls and glows. Fitted out with the original Holden V8 4.2L 253 engine which Joe and Anthony re-tuned, you can hear the car as it approaches for miles.

Once you lay your eyes on the Holden, the sexy lipstick red repaint is sure to hold your attention as it passes. Joe and Anthony’s prized possession shines proudly – indicative of years of hard work and love.

“It’s nice to see all of our hard work paid off,” Anthony explained, “And now this beautiful Holden is something we can all enjoy as a family.

“We’ve still got a bit of work to do and next, Dad would like to finish off work on the interior. But for now, it’s nice just as it is and we try and take it out for a spin at least once a month or so.”

International Nurses & Midwives Week 2019 A celebration of care to the community

A message from GV Health Executive director quality, risk and innovation and interim chief nursing and midwifery officer, Kellie Thompson THIS year’s theme for international nurses and midwives day reflects the diversity of care and services provided by nurses and midwives across the community. The theme ‘A voice to lead - health for all’ epitomises the largest healthcare profession’s mantra of wanting to make a difference.

Nurses and midwives are highly skilled, providing care to the community from birth to death often when people and their families are at their most vulnerable. There is a privilege that comes from being a nurse or midwife bringing with it a responsibility HIGHLY SKILLED AND CARING… to provide excellent care.

GV Health executive director The range of fields GV Health nurses quality, risk and innovation and and midwives work in is testament to the interim chief nursing and midwifery value that nurses bring to the broader officer, Kellie Thompson.

GV Health is working with our local education partners and those broader afield to give a greater number of people the opportunity to join the nursing and midwifery workforce. The GV Health redevelopment will see the need for at least 150 more nurses and midwives and we are keen to attract both local people into nursing and midwifery and demonstrate to those who are not currently local to come and join us.

I would like to thank all the nurses and midwives working at GV Health and recognise the amazing work they do. The nurses and midwives are not only providing the care to our community, they and their families are part of the community, and this is reflected in the values in which GV Health nurses and midwives operate.

A caring touch that makes a big difference THE role a nurse plays is one of the most important aspects to ensuring a healthy community, whether it be at the beginning of life or that of a mature aged person.

Kara Farrow is a dedicated and caring medication endorsed enrolled nurse with Shepparton Villages at Banksia Lodge in Kialla and it is easy to see how passionate she is about her role when you sit down to talk with her.

Kara’s involvement with Shepparton Villages began when she volunteered her time at Banksia Lodge before she began her study, where once a week she would sit and talk, play scrabble and read the paper, amongst various other tasks, with the residents. In 2016 she undertook the first component of her study, which was in aged care. She then went on to carry out placements at surrounding hospitals including in Shepparton, Cobram and Kyabram, picking up valuable experience. Kara finished her Diploma of Nursing in 2017 and for the past 16 months has been team leader at Banksia Lodge.

Kara said, “Banksia Lodge is just like another family. It is very homely here and is rewarding being able to help vulnerable people.

“My role includes distributing medications, monitoring residents and carrying out observations such as checking their pulse, temperatures and tending to wounds. I also liaise with family and doctors and work with allied health services and

most importantly provide emotional support.

“The best part is getting to build a relationship with the residents and helping support them through tough times. It is pleasing knowing I am helping make a difference, even if it is only small.”

Banksia Lodge resident, Norma Lebehen first met Kara when she was volunteering, and the two have formed a close and unbreakable bond.

Norma said, “I love Kara dearly. I love talking with her.

“If there were a few more Kara’s it would be a better world.”

Local motocross champ taking riding to next level

By David Lee YOU know you’re set to make it big in the motocross scene when you have one of the best riders in Australia scout you. Local motocross champion, Madi Healy has already made a name for herself on the track across the country, but she will only continue moving up the ranks becoming only one of three in Australia to have scored a two year contract with motocross big name, Leigh Hogan, which includes a sponsorship deal with Honda through the Building Champions Program.

Madi said, “I’m so stoked. This will help me out a lot. It will help build on my technique and my confidence in racing, which will help take my riding to the next level.

“It will also set me up for future sponsors.

“I find the suspension and handling good on the Honda.

“The knowledge Leigh is passing on to me is invaluable.”

Although she is racing towards the big time, Madi still utilises locals, AJs Motorcycles to help with keeping her bikes in tip-top shape.

On top of all of this exciting news, Madi has also just come out of the weekend on top of the ladder at the first leg of the Victorian State Titles, where she won every race by between 30 and 40 seconds each race. The next leg will run in Mildura on June 1 and 2, followed by another round in Ballarat on June 29 and 30.

Giants take down Bushrangers THE Murray Bushrangers U18 boys team has suffered an 11 point loss to the Greater Western Sydney Academy at the Albury Sportsground on Saturday, 11-11-77 to 12-16-88.

The Giants started with strong midfield clearance work and running from defence, which afforded them a 13 point lead. The Bushrangers battled their way back into the contest thanks to Jimmy Boyer’s clever forward play and Dylan Clarke’s tenacity around the packs. However the Giants were able to apply pressure whenever the Bushrangers went forward causing an inaccurate two goals and four behinds.

Spectators witnessed some of the best football for the day in the second term as the Bushrangers tidied up their disposal, lowering their eyes, hitting targets and kicking three goals to GWS’s two goals. The Bushrangers still trailed by seven points at the main break and were on even terms in general play.

The Bushrangers continued to use the ball well in patches during the third term, resulting in two goals. However some costly mistakes allowed the Greater Western Sydney team to extend their lead to 10 points at three quarter time.

A desperate final quarter by both teams saw the Bushrangers defenders under constant pressure as the ball remained camped inside the GWS’s forward fifty for the first half of the quarter. A few easy misses kept the door open for the Bushrangers and with two minutes left Hudson Kaak took what appeared to be a strong mark, but play continued and a rushed behind had the Bushrangers within 10 points with two minutes left. Unfortunately time halted the comeback and GWS Academy ran out as 11 point winners in a great standard of NAB League football.

Dylan Clarke was best for the Bushrangers, with a hard contested football game leading from the front. Sam Durham was good on a wing working both defensively and offensively, while Co-captain Lachie Ash lead the way for the Bushrangers crashing in hard all day and winning plenty of contested football. Jye Chalcraft was able to hit the scoreboard while working into the contest around the ground, with Jimmy Boyer superb as a forward kicking three goals and debutant William Bowden was gallant in the ruck against quality opposition.
