Knitters to the rescue SOM E of the knitting ladies in our community have been busy of late. With the introduction of compulsory face masks

Fish hatchery beginning to take shape SET among the open fields of Arcadia, work is set to begin constructing the first stage of a new fish hatchery for the Victorian Fisheries Authority Under the State Government’s Target One Million plan, the Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) is leading a $7 million project to build a new native fish hatchery. While more than 27 properties were under initial consideration, an ideal 170-hectare property was purchased at Arcadia on the Goulburn River, where the hatchery will be built. The property has an advanced dam constructed along with access to surface water and bore water. Work is set to begin in November once planning and site clean-up is complete, and work will be completed by October 2021. The first stage has been to appoint the project’s owner engineer, The Wedge Group, a consultant engineering firm located in Echuca that specialises in aquaculture. Preliminary planning is now underway and construction design drawings for the hatchery building are being prepared by Edg Space, also from Echuca. Minister for Fishing and Boating Melissa Horne said, “This new native fish hatchery will mean more stocking of species that recreational fishers love to catch like Murray Cod and Golden Perch. “By building new hatcheries we’re able to create important new jobs and build facilities which will support the industry long-term.” The first stage of the hatchery will include 25 ponds and

will grow around 1.6 million native fish fingerlings (1 gram each) each year including Murray Cod and Golden Perch. Native fish from the hatchery will be then stocked into more than 100 waterways throughout Victoria to recover native fisheries and create exciting recreational fishing opportunities.

The hatchery will include visitor facilities with a fish-out pond and other attractions. The VFA have a 50% indigenous employment target for the new hatchery, which is expected to employ up to 20 people.

Greater Shepparton gets some satisfaction RESIDENTS of Greater Shepparton are more satisfied with their Council’s performance than the state average, according to the latest Community Satisfaction Survey. Greater Shepparton City Council’s Local Government Community Satisfaction Survey 2019/20 has shown the joint-highest Overall Satisfaction rating since records began in 2012, with 72 per cent of residents satisfied with the performance of Council, resulting in an index score of 62. A score of 62 places Greater Shepparton above the state-wide average of 58, and also above similar regional

centres with an average of 56. T he su r vey, conduc ted by re s e a rch compa ny Thinkfield, conducted 200 interviews with random residents each quarter, resulting in 800 residents providing feedback throughout the 12-month period. In all areas, including Community Consultation, Advocacy, Making Community Decisions, Customer Service and Local Sealed Roads, and Overall Council Direction, Greater Shepparton polled higher than the regional centre average, despite being down in some areas on last year’s score.

Greater Shepparton City Council director corporate services, Chris Teitzel, said the survey is an important measure for Council to understand whether it is meeting community expectations of the services it provides. “It provides insight into ways Council can improve service delivery, and all information gathered will be used to provide ongoing improvements for Greater Shepparton,” Mr Teitzel said.

Diabetes in a time of COVID DIABETES AFFECTS SOME 2,000 IN THE REGION... Nurse practice manager, GV Diabetic Centre, Tara Jones. Photo: Supplied.

WHILE COVID –19 currently dominates the news cycles around the world, people living in our communities are often faced by dealing with other diseases that are equally troubling. Diabetes affects some 2,000 people in the region with GV Health having some 1,760 active patients attending their clinics. According to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many

people delaying or avoiding a trip to the GP. A June 2020 survey of more than 700 people found 32% of respondents had delayed or avoided a visit to a GP in the last three months. GV Health Diabetic Centre, nurse practice manager, Tara Jones said, “We are now having high consultation attendance on Telehealth. Due to COVID, some people are afraid to come to the hospital, so Telehealth is making a difference.” While isolation is having an effect on many people, diabetics are at high risk of suffering

anxiety and depression leading into mental health issues. People with diabetes need to carefully monitor their condition and should consult with their GP regularly, particularly if any health problems emerge. It is also vital that anyone with diabetes symptoms, including fatigue, urinating often and heightened thirst, consults their GP right away as this may be a sign of undiagnosed diabetes. “We know that the number of people with type 2 diabetes is growing and this can probably be attributed to rising overweight and obesity rates and an ageing population. “One of the key challenges is that the most socially disadvantaged Australians are twice as likely to develop diabetes. We must be proactive in helping people adjust their diets and lifestyles to support better diabetes management.” According to RACGP, in early-onset type 2 diabetes, life expectancy is reduced by 14 years in males and 16 years in females compared to people without diabetes. This is particularly troubling because in recent years there has been an increase in the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in children, adolescents and young adults. Around half of all people living with diabetes have experienced mental health challenges in the past year related to their diabetes. It is a relentless condition - day in, day out, 365 days a year.

Getting ready for the next bushfire season THE reality is, we are looking to face prolonged bushfire seasons as climate change alters the countries landscape. Anticipating more of what we experienced at the start of this year, the Victorian Government is now in the process recruiting forest firefighters who are ready to step up and help protect their communities and the environment this bushfire season. Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, Lily D’A mbrosio today announced applications have now opened for Victorians of all backgrounds to join Forest Fire Management Victoria (F FM Vic) as seasonal project firefighters. The recruitment drive offers employment, training and pathway opportunities for suitable applicants in regional communities. Successful applicants will join a highly skilled team of more than 1,000 frontline forest firefighters ready to keep Victorians safe. These FFMVic crews based in the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning, will work alongside crews from Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water and VicForests, the CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria. Applications for Project Firefighters are open from Friday 31 July and close on Sunday 23 August. For further information and to apply visit ffm.vic.gov.au or call 136 186. Page 4 – The Adviser.

Recycling e-waste takes time WHEN we finish with our old televisions and computers, more often than not, they were containerised and shipped off to Asia where an army of locals would diligently pull them part and salvage what they could from the copper wiring and gold-plated contacts. In more recent times however, these foreign recyclers have limited the amounts of industrial waste products. For Tatura’s Troy Beecroft, the recycling process has been developing from a pasttime activity into a small business. Troy collects old electrical equipment from op-shops, or has it donated and then pulls it apart so that the bits can be sent off to the appropriate recycler. Over time, Troy has learned that there are some things that cost more to dispose of than he can collect from the scrap. Old television tubes and fridges cannot be easily salvaged due to the chemicals used in their operation are two in particular. Also, a lot of the plastic used in some casings cannot be salvaged either. Greater Shepparton have to deal with more than 66,000 tonnes of waste a year and we all need to be more mindful of the impact that is having on the environment. Small Facebook groups like Zero Waste Shepparton look to offer suggestions in how we can reduce the amount of waste we each produce a year.

ALL Victorians are now required to wear masks when out in public in an effort to pull back unrelenting COVID-19 case numbers in the state. The new rule applies to all people over the age of 12, and those who ignore the regulation will be up for a $200 on-the-spot fine if caught by Victoria Police. “As part of daily patrols, police will be able to issue on-the-spot fines to those not wearing a face covering without a legitimate reason. This is a critical measure designed to reduce the spread of coronavirus,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said. You do not need to wear a face mask if you: • Driving alone in your car or with family members • Are eating, drinking or taking medication, including when seated at a restaurant where permitted

• Are doing any exercise or physical activity where you are out of breath or puffing. Examples include jogging or running, but not walking. You must carry a face covering on you and wear it when you finish exercising • Are affected by a relevant medical condition, including problems with breathing, a serious condition of the face, a disability or a mental health condition • Persons whose professions require clear enunciation or visibility of their mouth. This includes teaching or live broadcasting • When directed to remove the face covering to ascertain identity In lieu of a proper face mask, a mask can be fashioned out of a scarf, piece of cloth, or other suitable piece of clothing.

SOLVING A DEVELOPING PROBLEM... Gouge Linen and Garment Service director, Rob Priestly demonstrates the new reusable personal protection gowns. Photo: Steve Hutcheson

Local firm at cutting edge with reusable gowns continued from front page SINGLE use PPE now might become a thing of the past with reusable fabric gowns that can be washed up to 70 times now being manufactured by local Mooroopna linen supply company, Gouge Linen and Garment Service. The material being used in the PPE is a liquid repellent barrier material which has been tested to resist fluid penetration. Sewn into the garment will be an identification chip that as it goes through a cycle, enables the number of cycles to be recorded. “The chip is similar to that now being used on pets,” said Gouge director, Rob Priestly.

“Each time the gown goes through a wash cycle, we record it. They are examined at the folding stage and removed after a certain number of cycles. “Not only are reusable gow ns environmentally friendly, they don’t rely on long supply chains which take time to react to unexpected demand,” said Mr Priestly. In maintaining their durability, during the wash cycle they are treated with a specialist chemical that recoats them and rejuvenates the barrier effect. The gowns have received approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration. The gowns are now being distributed to Victorian health facilities for use by medical staff.

IRRIGATORS WANT A FAIR GO. Dear Editor, Recent media reports indicate the SA Government has handed out $15 million in penalties for over extraction at the end of the Murray system. As a former irrigator from the Murray Valley in the nation’s food bowl, I am totally disheartened by the lack of compliance in various parts of the Murray Darling Basin. Those left trying to farm in southern NSW and northern Victoria have the most modern and well metered irrigation systems in the world, and as a consequence cannot take a cupful of water without an alarm going off in a building somewhere. In the Northern Basin (at the top of the system) we have compliance, metering and licencing issues which urgently need to be addressed. Likewise, at the end of the system, though the SA Government should be commended for its efforts to curb some of this over-extraction. The key issue, of course, is that in parts of the system governments have failed to put checks and balances in place leaving irrigators to selfmanage. When they do either deliberately or inadvertently take more than they should, all irrigators get tarred with the same brush of irresponsibility. The obvious solution is far more rigour around compliance for everyone, including environmental water, across the entire Basin. This needs total support, including peak

farming bodies who have been fairly silent on the lack of compliance, licencing and metering issues in Northern Basin which make the volumes taken from bottom of the system look like a drop in the ocean. Is it any wonder those of us in the middle are screaming and kicking? We do the right thing, using the world’s most efficient irrigation system, while those either end, don’t. Yet we have been accused of being divisive for trying to protect our farms and communities, which are suffering through poor policy and compliance efforts. And where is the independent umpire, the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, which should be there to support us? They treat us with utter contempt and have left us to shrivel and die while the mismanagement and political games continue. All we want is a fair go, and since the start of Basin Plan implementation eight years ago that has not happened. There is enough water for everyone, thanks to our forefathers who had the insight to build the Hume and Dartmouth storages. What we don’t have is an MDBA with the ability to effectively manage it, or governments who are prepared to demand that it be managed to maximum efficiency. Compliance issues, like we have just seen in SA, are just one part of this systemic problem. Yours sincerely, Shelley Scoullar “Carinya Ridge” Albury NSW

Shepparton CBD to be a 40km/h zone NEW LIMITS IN CBD... The new 40km/h signs are up around Shepparton’s CBD with most covered in black plastic until they are formally unveiled. Photo: Katelyn Morse.

IN readiness for the introduction of a 40 kilometre per hour zone in Shepparton’s central business district, the Greater Shepparton City Council have installed new signs. Based on data from Regional Roads Victoria, the probability of a fatality from a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian where the vehicle is travelling at 50 kilometres per hour is approximately 90 per cent. Lowering the speed of the vehicle from 50 kilometre per hour to 40 kilometre per hour reduces this from 90 per cent to less than 40 per cent.

This initiative is being delivered in conjunction with other road safety measures across the CBD including the introduction of pedestrian crossings at various locations that have been installed over the past few months. Many other regional cities in Victoria such as Geelong, Bendigo and Wodonga have already changed their speeds to 40 kilometres per hour within the CBDs. Council has the signs in place and ready to be unveiled once formal approval is received from the relevant authority. For the location map visit greatershepparton.com.au

Helping communities stay connected COMMUNITY groups are working overtime in assisting isolated members in the community stay connected, particularly the elderly and new arrivals. The Victorian Government is coming to their assistance with new funding to help communities stay connected during the coronavirus pandemic through a new grants program to support local initiatives. Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp MP today welcomed the opening of applications for the Let’s Stay Connected Fund, with grants available for community organisations, local government bodies, incorporated notfor-profits and industry groups.

Grants of between $5,000 and $200,000 are available to support innovative, community-based initiatives that build connection, reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation and that can be implemented quickly – providing much-needed support across the state. The $1.3 million fund could potentially help community groups continue to operate by adapting the way they deliver programs or events, including through online forums. Other possibilities include support for communities to improve their digital skills and access online communication channels, or new ways for people to

continue volunteering within their communities while maintaining physical distancing requirements. “This new program goes right to the heart of our community, giving local organisations across Northern Victoria the boost they need to make an immediate impact,” said Mr Gepp. Applications for the Let’s Stay Connected Fund are open until 31 August and applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible at: www.djpr.vic.gov.au/ lets-stay-connected

WULUMBARA in Yorta Yorta language means, large communal fire, a place where people can come and feel safe. It is also the name of the physical good health program designed for local first nation people. It is a gymnasium that seeks to be more culturally appropriate and devoid of the intimidation that a commercial gym might invoke. Primary Care Connect is about bringing members from isolated groups in the community together and to be conscious of how they take care of themselves, particularly during this period of added isolation the pandemic is creating. Levi Power and Klarindah Hudson are Aboriginal health coaches running the Wulumbara program at Primary Care Connect, a holistic approach to physical health that seeks to empower the community to work out in a friendly environment. “T he program aims to engage and promote good health among the community taking on a boot camp style of workout that is fun,” said Levi. “Within the facility, we have a number of health professions that people can call upon so our programs give access to

other programs that address issues such as substance and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and the like if needed. “ Primary Care Connect is a non-profit community health organisation located at 399 Wyndham Street, Shepparton and can be contacted on 5832 3200.

Australia’s aged care workforce is made up of over 360,000 individuals who contribute to caring for older people. Approximately 80% of these people are working in roles other than nurse practitioners and enrolled nurses. Through their work, these people often develop meaningful relationships with our older loved ones, becoming defacto family members in the process. Their dedication to what is a rewarding, yet regularly challenging, profession in which they devote themselves to caring for others sets them apart.

Doing it the right way

PROVIDING HOME OWNERS WITH PEACE OF MIND... Link Building Systems directors, Andy George and Cameron Wood set to do underpinning the right way. Photo: Steve Hutcheson

HOMES around the region have long been built to withstand the rigours of time and frequently over engineered to compensate for the variability of materials and construction methods. But we are no longer in normal times. Smaller blocks, a long drawn out drought and construction of ten approaching structural limits has seen more and more brick veneer homes suffer the consequence of foundation movement that gives rise to wall cracks where they shouldn’t be. In a worst-case scenario, the only option to bring about stability to a home is to call in the underpinners. One of the services offered by Link Building Systems is to do just that. Director, Andy George said, “Our underpinning process starts with the design plans, the permits and is fully engineered

and certified so that we can be confident we get the best result for the client. “In the first instance. We carry out a comprehensive survey and run a few tests. Sometimes we might want to measure the movement of a crack over some time, a few months or more, to see if it is moving. Sometimes the solutions might be easy but if underpinning is needed, we can then set about doing it the right way. “When we first start a job, we spend the first day getting the site all fenced to comply with OHS, we make sure we locate all the services and assess all risk hazards aiming to fix the problems and leave the site with minimum disruption.” Link Building Systems are located at 31 Telford Drive, Shepparton and can be contacted on 5821 4516 for a site inspection.

Termite season about to kick off HAVING your home imperceptibly eaten by termites sounds like something from a horror film, however it is surprisingly common. There is no insurance for termite damage, so homeowners need to take proactive steps to protect their investment. During the cooler winter months, termites are less active, with numbers venturing out from a nest reduced by about 90 percent. However, as the weather warms, as it is

now, the queen gets hungry and sends out her armies en masse, travelling up to 100 metres to find your floorboards or walls. Shepparton’s home-grown pest control expert, Jason Aspland of Jason’s Pest Control, said every proactive homeowner should have their house inspected every year. He said most of the calls he receives are from people who have stepped onto a formally-reliable floorboard to discover

they’ve been housing hundreds or thousands of crawling housemates. Armed with the cutting-edge Termatrac radar technology, he is able to detect termite activity using thermal and moisture imaging, tracing entry points to the house

and even tracing the critters back to their nest. For more information and a friendly chat, contact Jason Aspland from Jason’s Pest Control on 1800 599 699.

STAY SAFE EVERYONE... One Congupna household is making the message simple for passers-by. As the region goes under Stage Three lockdown restrictions from Wednesday night, all residents are being reminded to do their part to contain the spread of COVID-19. Even this big teddy bear, a keen Bombers supporter, has ‘donned’ a mask and is avoiding mingling with others. Well done, Ted. Photo: Struan Jones.

Retail workers at the frontline WHILE we are all under pressure one way or the other from the pandemic, a new report out by the National Retail Association has highlighted the particular pressure retail workers have been placed under with a growing impact on their health and wellbeing struggles. Australia’s 1.5 million retail workers have been at the frontline of the COVID19 pandemic, weathering increased risk, stress and abuse. The retail sector is the second largest workforce in Australia and contributes $329 billion to the economy each year. R e t a i l wo rke r s h ave b at t l e d a n unprecedented set of challenges during the pandemic. Feedback from workers is that they are suffering high levels of stress and anxiety leading to mental health issues and an increase in poor lifestyle choices. The report also revealed the need to address issues relating to retail workers such as customer abuse, retail crime, domestic and family violence, and poor lifestyle choices. Workers have relayed the dramatic rise in workplace safety issues. Some retailers have reported up to a 400 per cent increase in aggression and abuse following customer anger at retail restrictions.

Retail workers are also experiencing increased retail crime and related violence, with over 85 per cent experiencing verbal or physical abuse while trying to prevent cri me. M any business ow ners have been forced to employ security guards and crowd controllers to ensure social distancing measures are followed. More often than we need, images and videos of retail workers being abused by irate customers is almost a daily occurrence. People need to calm down and take the pressure off people simply doing their jobs. We would be in much greater difficulty without them.

BRITISH RACING GREEN... A 1969 MGC GT on display at the Museum of Vehicle Evolution. Photos: Steve Hutcheson

MEAN MACHINE IN GREEN THE MGC was introduced in 1967 and built until 1969. Only about 4,500 roadsters and 4,500 coupes were built. Built as a 2,912 cc, straight-six version of the MGB. It was intended as a replacement for the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk. III. The first engine to be considered was an Australian-designed six-cylinder version of the BMC B-Series. In the twin SU carburettor form used in the MGC the engine produced 145bhp (108kW) at 5,250rpm. The body shell needed considerable revisions

around the engine bay and to the floor pan, but externally the only differences were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for carburettor clearance. It had different brakes from the MGB. Fitted with 15-inch wheels with Pirelli Cinturato tyres, a lower geared rack and pinion and special torsion bar suspension with telescopic dampers. The heavy engine and new suspension changed the vehicle’s handling, and it received

a mixed response in the automotive press. Poor reviews also stemmed from the fact that, despite BMC’s marketing, the MGC was not a direct replacement for the Austin-Healey 3000 and neither was it a higher-performance MGB. This particular car was delivered as a lefthand drive for the American market, originally white, it was repainted in British Racing Green by Maskell’s in Shepparton. It is on display at MOVE, the Shepparton Motor Museum.

Golf clubs hitting a green patch BOOM... Jim Mitropoulos tees off on the first at the Shepparton Golf Club last week, with playing partners (from left) Greg Birks, Phil Fiore, and Ed Flanagan watching on. Photo: Struan Jones.

‘A BAD day of golf always beats a good day of work’, goes the saying, so perhaps it’s no wonder golf is experiencing a spike in interest, with many crediting the COVID-19 pandemic. Reports from around the traps are pointing towards increases in club membership as people find a physical outlet in a time of cancelled football, netball, and soccer competitions. Premier Daniel Andrews, himself a keen golfer, drove a wedge in the golfing community earlier this year when he banned the game in an effort to contain the spread of Coronavirus. However, since re-opening in early June, golf courses have experienced a boom. The Shepparton, Mooroopna, and the Hill Top Golf and Country Club in Tatura have all reported a jump in membership of around 10 percent. New members are bringing the average player-age down too,

with many of those now hitting the fairways between 20 and 40, well below the average nation-wide member age of 56. Shepparton Golf Club general manager, Russ Powell, said member numbers had tee’d off since the initial lockdown ended. “Plus, new members play the most, so it’s noticeably busier,” he said. At the Hill Top Golf and Country Club, manager, Geraldine Pollard, reported at least a 20 percent increase in tee-off numbers, with more younger people getting on course. “It’s absolutely been popular since the pandemic, because it was one of the few sports you were allowed to play for a long time,” Ms Pollard said. “Plus, with the good rain and now a mild winter, the courses in the area are in fantastic condition.”

Sports leagues receive cash boost

COMMUNITY sport across Greater Shepparton has received a boost thanks to grants from the Victorian Government aimed at helping local leagues and associations ride out the Coronavirus pandemic. Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp MP, last week announced five sporting leagues and associations will share in $35,500 funding approved for the region from the government’s Community Sport Sector COVID-19 Short-term Survival Package. These grants will enable the following local leagues and

organisations to meet fixed costs to ensure they can remain operationally viable. • $10K for the Goulburn Valley Football Umpires Association • $7500 for the Shepparton & Districts Junior Football Competition • $7500 for the Shepparton Junior Soccer Association Inc • $7500 for the Shepparton Netball Association • $3000 for the Goulburn Campaspe Junior Football League President of the Goulburn Valley Football Umpires

Association, Andrew Moore, said the much-needed funds would go towards covering costs around lighting and amenities at a time when revenue was well down. “Our umpiring needs are down, from about 50 umpires normally to about 30 now. The money will go towards keeping the lights on at training and maintaining our facilities,” he said. Mark Gepp MP, said the package was all about “helping the competition and clubs keep their eyes towards a return to play”.

COMMUNITY TIPPING

That’s ball she wrote THE inaugural season for the Shepparton Swans’ youth girls’ team has been a false start, with only three matches played as part of the Shepparton District Junior Football League. The league has pulled up stumps after the announcement of a return to Stage Three restrictions, however was still able to sneak in three rounds of junior football, including a final round on Sunday. The junior Swans girls took opposition teams, and themselves, by surprise by winning their first two games of the season, however their luck ran out on Sunday when confronted by a much more powerful Shepparton United side. United held the Swans scoreless and pressed relentlessly into their forward line, scoring 8.21.69 to the Swans’ 0.0.0. In other results, Echuca United proved too strong for Mooroopna, winning at home 9.13.67 to 2.1.13.

Whistle blown on regional sport

JUNIOR athletes of the region have again been forced to hang up their boots due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Community sport has been put back on ice after the Victorian Government placed regional Victoria under Stage Three restrictions for six weeks starting at midnight tonight, in an effort to reign in the state’s persistently high case numbers. The Goulburn Valley Hockey Association, Shepparton Junior Soccer Association, Shepparton District Junior Football League and the Goulburn Valley League juniors have all wrapped up their seasons. The cancellation comes after the Goulburn Valley League juniors called off Round Two of their competition at the 11th hour on Friday after the possibility of positive COVID-19 cases was linked to “several GVL clubs”. In a statement, the Shepparton District Junior Football

League board praised everyone involved in getting their belated, shortened season off the ground. League president, Mark Lambourn said he was proud and excited by the commitment and the leadership of club members, officials and parents. “We can be disappointed, and we are, but more than that the season has not been for nothing,” he said. “We can only be proud of the way in which club officials sought to embrace an unusual set of circumstances and tried to make it work. It has been a collaborative effort and shows just important junior sport is to our community. “We gave it every chance. We gave it our best for the kids to have some sport and recreation and unfortunately events beyond our control have brought the season to an end.”
