By Steve Hutcheson WITH the pandemic causing so many festivals and events to be cancelled this year, organisations are having to look at alternative ways to continue their programs.

The Victorian Senior Festival 2020 is no different. This year they are taking their program online and over community radio so that seniors can access the program from the security of their own homes.

Two small steps for regional Victoria, one giant leap at the skate park

By Struan Jones GREATER Shepparton awoke to the ‘Second Step’ towards ‘COVID Normal’ on Monday, and will move to the ‘Third Step’ from midnight tonight.

The move comes as a great relief to businesses and families of the

region, who saw outdoor playgrounds and skateparks reopen, with schools set to return to onsite learning for term four and childcare opened to all children.

Calls for farmers to stand for Council CONSIDERING the Goulburn Valley is the fruit bowl of the nation, it stands to reason that some of those primary producers should be in the driving seat on how the local government is managed.

The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is urging interested farmers to nominate for their upcoming relevant local council elections to ensure agriculture is represented and the needs of Victorian farmers are heard.

VFF president, David Jochinke said we need more farmers on councils to be the voice of local farmers and agriculture.

“We need more farmers on councils, so our message is heard on key issues including the need for fair rates, maintenance of local roads and keeping roadsides clear of weeds,” said M r Jochinke.

“We have a real opportunity for agriculture

to help lead the country on its economic rebuild and farming knowledge and expertise at a local government level will be vital during our recovery.”

Nominations for Council open on September 17 and close on September 22.

Active cases remain at one AS of Monday, September 14, there was one active COVID-19 case in Greater Shepparton.

The number of active cases has reduced over the past week because people who have tested positive for COVID-19 have been cleared from self-isolation and are no longer considered to be active cases.

• Moira, Benalla, and Strathbogie and Campaspe shires are all free of active cases • There are 47 active cases in regional Victoria, 23 of which are in the Colac Otway Shire • 37 regional shires had zero active cases, and there were seven regional shires with only one active case • The national Coronavirus death toll is now at 816, of which 729 have occurred in Victoria The Adviser.

Drum has some success with the Basin Plan

By Steve Hutcheson THE recent announcement by the Minister for Water, Keith Pitt to include changes to the way the Murray Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is managed has had a warm welcome across the Victorian rural community in particular.

The announcement proposed there will be no more water buy backs, a long called for splitting up of the Murray Darling Basin Authority, and committing more money to support regional communities which have been adversely affected by the Basin Plan.

Local Member for Nicholls, Damian Drum has long advocated within government that the authority should be split into respectively, the regulatory, the operation and compliance where it currently plays all roles.

“I have been calling for the MDBA to be split up for over a year and now with an independent statutory compliance body to be created, the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder will have to take responsibility for their actions, as well as abide by the same rules as our farmers.

“Under this government, ‘buy backs’ are off the table, as are ‘on-farm efficiencies’ – this is what our farmers have been calling for,” said Mr Drum.

Victorian Farmers Federation president, David Jochinke said he was pleased the Minister has committed to no more buy backs but that commitment needs to be legislated.

“I take the minister’s comments at face value but I won’t sleep soundly until I see no more buy backs in an Act of Parliament,” Mr Jochinke said.

STANDING BY THE RIVER...

Local Member for Nicholls, Damian Drum has his office no more than 100m from the Goulburn River. His advocacy in its management has paid dividends for local farmers.

Mr Drum said it was time to make the basin plan pay dividends to communities rather than communities pay for the Basin Plan.

“Our government is committing nearly $40 million to improve compliance to provide the assurance communities and governments are seeking while importantly keeping regionally-based staff in our regions,” Mr Drum said.

“A total of $34 million is being allocated by government across those communities hit hard by water recovery to help increase economic activity, diversify economies and create jobs through the extended Murray-Darling Basin Economic Development Program.

“There’s $20 million committed to a Healthy Rivers Program to fund community-driven proposals to improve the health of local rivers and wetlands.

“Four new Indigenous river ranger teams will also be stood up across the Basin.

“Importantly, this package includes a new approach to the delivery of Sustainable Diversion Limit adjustment projects and the 450GL to help Basin governments and communities achieve Basin Plan requirements.” said Mr Drum.

The Federal Government will create a new statutory authority to increase water compliance in the Murray-Darling Basin. Existing staff from the MDBA and from the office of the Inspector-General of Murray Darling Basin Water Resources will relocate to a new independent authority operating under Mick Keelty.

Man dies following crash in Kialla East MAJOR Collision Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding a fatal crash in Kialla East on the evening of Saturday, September 12.

Police were told the car was travelling south along Coach Road when it appears to have veered across the roadway and crashed into a tree at about 5.30pm.

The vehicle caught fire following the impact of the crash.

Two men, an 18-year-old from Terang and a 21-yearold from Faraday, were airlifted to hospital with lifethreatening injuries.

The Faraday man later passed away.

A third man from the vehicle, a 20-year-old from Colac, was transported to a local hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Shortly before the crash, police detected the alleged vehicle travelling at speed in excess of 150km/h.

Officers attempted to intercept the driver who drove off.

Police lost sight of the vehicle, did not pursue and were later notified of a crash nearby.

Detectives are investigating whether speed was a factor in the crash.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

This year’s regional Victoria road toll stands at 87, down from 100 at the same time last year.

Our twenty first century Odyssey

By Steve Hutcheson GREEK mythology was a fabled look at the origins of the world.

Its stories were fanciful, invoking mythical creatures and heroic leaders, an allegorical explanation of how things around them evolved.

One of those fables, the Odyssey, a long fable as told by Homer, concerned Odysseus or Ulysses as the Romans called him, the king of Ithaca. On his journeys, Ulysses was to sail past an island inhabited by Sirens, beautiful yet mythical bird like women who sang beautiful songs and played glorious music aiming to entice passing sailors to seek them out only to crash and perish on the rocky shores of their island.

Ulysses wanted to hear their song so he made his men sailing his ships fill their ears with beeswax and without it, had himself lashed to the mast of his ship.

No matter how much he wanted the men to alter the course of the ship, his men were instructed to sail in a straight line and ignore his commands until he signalled with a frown that he could no longer hear them.

Our response to COVID is like the journey of Ulysses. Our Sirens are our inferred freedoms, to be able to move about freely, to get back to going to bars and pubs and restaurants, to mix with the people we love, to get back to doing business the way it was before the virus.

These Sirens are singing, calling us to join them. Some of our politicians and leaders are like Ulysses, tied to a mast, unpopular, wanting to go towards the islands but constrained, in this case tied to the medical science behind the virus and the very real dangers it poses to the people they lead. Others are like the sailors sailing without the benefit of the beeswax in their ears, seduced by the Sirens, clamouring for their freedoms, fighting against those with it firmly lodged in their ears, arguing on setting a course that would see them sail onto the rocks and their possible demise.

HALF WOMEN, HALF BIRD, HALF RIGHT... The assessment of J.D.Waterhouse’s classical Ulysses and the Sirens portraying his forced containment against fulfilling his desire. Photo: Supplied

This disease is deadly. Already it has infected over 26,000 Australians and killed over 760 people in our community. In Australia that translates to a one in thirty chance of dying if we contract it. In the US and other parts of the world that prospect is one in twenty.

As Ulysses passed their island and did not perish, the Sirens flew into the sea after him, it was they who drowned and perished.

The only safe path for us at this point in time as we are in these dangerous waters is to stand firm and sail past the rocky islands that is COVID and while it will be agonisingly painful, we will not die or allow anyone to be sacrificed on the journey.

Are you prepared for power outages this spring?

Two small steps for regional Victoria, one giant leap at the skate park continued from front page UNDER the Third Step, there are no restrictions on leaving home. Outdoor public gatherings of up to 10 people will be allowed.

Victoria recorded 35 new Coronavirus cases on Monday and 42 on Tuesday, down from a peak of 725 new daily cases recorded early last month. There is one active case in Greater Shepparton, who is an inpatient at GV Health.

In regional Victoria, the rolling 14-day average of new cases dipped below four early this week, satisfying the criteria for regional areas to progress to the Third Step, which will see a reopening of cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating.

GV Hotel venue manager, Margaret Valentine, said the move to the Third Step was a huge relief.

“We’ve been doing takeaway, but it hasn’t been as good as the first lockdown. Now we can finally open up,” Ms Valentine said.

Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry president, John Anderson, welcomed the easing of restrictions, but added the roadmap for regional Victoria had been disappointingly slow.

“A lot of businesses are doing it really tough and it’s been causing distress in the community. Some, such as gyms, still have no real end in sight,” Mr Anderson said.

As part of the Victorian Government’s ‘Roadmap’, indoor gyms will be able to open after November 23 if there are no new cases state-wide for 14 days.

Further easing of restrictions under the Third Step include: • Up to five visitors allowed at home from one other

household • All retail open • Outdoor contact and non-contact sport for 18s-andunder, outdoor non-contact sport only for adults n Despite the easing of restrictions, GV Health chief executive officer, Matt Sharp, warned there had been a significant reduction in the number of people getting tested at the Graham Street Acute Respiratory Clinic.

In the three-week period between August 18 to September 7 there was a 52 percent reduction in the number of tests carried out in the three-week period prior.

“It is possible that people are becoming complacent and even the mildest of symptoms that are similar to cold and flu symptoms can mean you have COVID-19,” Mr Sharp said.

Seniors Festival reimagined continued from front page RADIO Reimagined has also commissioned programs from outstanding V i c t o r i a n w r i t e r s , mu s i c i a n s a n d performers that reflect both the history of our community and current issues.

$3 billion business support package signals confidence in business recovery

T HOUSA N DS of businesses across Victoria have reason to breathe a little easier following the Victorian Government announcing that they will provide an additional $3 billion in support for small business.

Victoria’s hospitality businesses are the bedrock of our economy, but right now, many are going through a tough time. To support our bars, restaurants, pubs, clubs, hotels and reception centres, the Government will establish a $251 million dedicated Licenced Venue Fund, with grants of between $10,000 and $30,000 for licenced venues of all shapes and sizes. The Government is also providing further relief by waiving liquor licence fees for 2021.

There is also a $15.7 million export recovery package

and funding for small businesses to access digital programs to help them adapt to online operations under what ‘COVID normal’ will look like.

Trips to Victoria’s ski fields haven’t been possible for thousands of families this year, so the government will give businesses in our alpine resorts the support they need with grants of up to $20,000 to help cover their resort fees, saving them a combined $4.3 million.

Exports are vital to Victoria’s economy, contributing 12 percent to Victoria’s GDP and 330,000 Victorian jobs.

A $15.7 million export recovery package will address logistics and supply chain issues caused by the pandemic, and establish new export channels. Businesses will be

connected to international markets through virtual trade missions as well as assistance to adapt their export strategies to respond to the rapidly changing global market.

“For our state to recover, we need our businesses to recover too. As we take our first safe and steady steps towards COVID normal, this support will help make sure we get through this together,” said the Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews.

“We’ll continue meeting with and listening to businesses, so we can do everything we can to support them and their workers.”

What do you say after R U OK? THIS year, more than ever, it’s important to ask your friends, family, customers and colleagues, R U OK? But it’s also important to know what to say if the person says ‘no’.

R U OK?Day organisers are reminding people this year that there is more to say after ‘R U OK?’, and it’s important to listen with an open mind and encourage action.

As in previous years, GMCU continues to support mental health initiatives, such as R U OK?Day, by helping raise awareness in branches.

“We encourage supportive conversations at GMCU,” GMCU chief executive officer, Melissa Ralph said.

“This year especially, our staff have been reaching out and checking in with their colleagues, as well as our members.

“R U OK?Day is an important reminder that conversations can change lives.”

If there is more to say after R U OK, or the conversation is too big for friends, family or colleagues, it is a good idea to talk to a counsellor via LifeLine, Beyond Blue, SANE or headspace.

GMCU members who are under financial stress as a direct result of COV ID-19 restrictions can access pro bono financial guidance through GMCU’s partnership with IOOF. Affected members can pop in to a branch or visit gmcu.com.au for more details on how to access free financial guidance and support to get back on their feet.

OPINION

Letters to the Editor

PETITION TO COUNCIL Dear Editor, A couple of weeks ago a group of 80 ratepayers created a letter asking for clarity around our rate costs. They sent the letter to each of our candidates, including myself, and asked us to commit to finding answers.

In response I have created this petition!

I wanted to do something that not only would amplify your voices and make sure that the issue will be addressed.

This petition is asking for an independent review of our rates processes, to better understand how the rate amount is decided, how our rates are being spent, and how the community can meaningfully engage in the process.

Rates are important for delivering services such as parks, footpaths and libraries, but with the need for a strong COVID-19 response this is the perfect time for a ‘stock take’ of our rates systems.

However, creating the petition wasn’t as simple as I thoug ht, and I have experienced a number of challenges and setbacks in making sure it meets the council requirements to be accepted. What should have been a simple way to gather community opinion and communicate with our council instead turned into quite a large headache.

And this experience has only reinforced the need for this petition.

The information we are given isn’t actually accessible or understandable for the community to use. And without access and understanding we aren’t able to truly communicate with our council, or to really contribute to our systems.

So let’s start with the rates process and with this petition. You’ve told me you want answers, so let’s get them.

Yours sincerely, Sam Spinks, Shepparton

MY PERSONAL OPINION Dear Editor, I wish to refute Mr Jim O’Connor’s implication that I have done nothing to rid the CBD of parking meters. I was a lone voice at the beginning of my term at Greater Shepparton City Council and as you would understand, that to have a motion passed you need at least 5 supporting votes, no

Page 14 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1526 Wednesday, September 16, 2020

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. other councillors had an appetite for doing this and consequently the first time that I put a Notice of Motion on the table for ‘A free timed parking trial in the CBD’ it was lost 8 to 1.

I continued to lobby for free timed parking over the next 2 years to no avail until October 2019 when the following motion was put and carried: Moved by Cr Sutton Seconded by Cr Adem 1. Beginning from Monday 2, December until Friday 31, January 2020, Council provide free timed parking in the CBD of Shepparton, for both on street and off street car parking owned by Council as part of a Christmas and holiday promotion. 2. Marketing of this action will be critical so will need to have input from the Council, Chamber of Commerce and Shepparton Show Me to enable them to work together to advertise the new parking arrangements to our community. 3. To set up a subcommittee together with the Chamber of Commerce to work on the parking situation and future opportunities for investment, visitation and positivity in this precinct to once again be the vibrant heart of Shepparton. Carried.

This promotion proved to be extremely popular with both retailers and the public resulting in a much greater visitation and a great atmosphere in the CBD which had been missing for many years.

At the Council meeting on the April 21, 2020, a motion was put to provide free timed parking in all Council owned offstreet car parks. This motion was carried unanimously.

If re-elected I intend to pursue all parking to be free timed in the CBD to allow for equality with other areas in Greater Shepparton. The employment of parking officers is organisational and councillors have no influence in how this is contracted although we have had many conversations in regard to the infringement process over the past 12 months.

My campaign poster for the current election is for a rate review as Greater S heppa r ton rat e s a re mu ch h ig her i n c o mp a r i s o n w it h o t h e r s i m i l a r municipalities.

Obviously, Mr O’Connor isn’t interested in having a ‘Rating Strategy Review’ even though he has signed the letter received by

Councillors on August 25, 2020 in regard to this issue.

After reading information provided in various formats and social media sites, it is apparent that a number of candidates are interested in reviewing and comparing rates and services offered by other Councils of a similar size; it maybe an easier sell if you have more than one person advocating for this to happen.

If you would like to speak to me about this or any other matter please don’t hesitate to give me a call.

Yours sincerely, Shelley Sutton Shepparton

SHEED SUPPORTS EMERGENCY EXTENSION Dear Editor, W it h D a n A n d r e w s m i s t a ke s i n handling Victoria’s response to the Covid 19 pandemic and his subsequent grab for power with the six-month state of emergency extension I wondered what the member for Shepparton’s response would be.

An investigation of Hansard revealed that Ms. Sheed supported Dan Andrews.

This came as no surprise as Ms. Sheed often supports the Andrew’s Labor State government on matters of importance.

What did surprise me however was the fact that in her own speech to parliament M s. She ed favou red a t h re e -mont h extension. This leads me to ask why she then supported six months?

M s S he e d wa s t he on ly c ou nt r y independent member to support the bill with both Russell Northe ember for Morwell and Ali Cupper, Member for Mildura not supporting the bill.

I can’t help wonder if Mr Northe and Ms Cupper have paid closer attention to their constituents’ concerns about Dan Andrews despotic grab for power.

Given t he people of Sheppa r ton’s concerns about the government’s ability to manage the crisis it might have been nice if Ms Sheed would have done the same.

Yours sincerely, Marty Richardson Shepparton Want to have your say?

IN BRIEF TERRIBLE TIMING FOR PAY RISE WHILE the private sector fights to survive during COVID-19, Victorian public servants and politicians were awarded a pay rise in July.

I n ex t raord i n a r i ly depre s s e d economic times for many business sectors, where 100,000s of employees have lost their jobs or had their wages cut, you would think a pay rise would be the last thing on the State Government’s mind.

A recent poll showed that 93 percent didn’t support the 2 percent pay rise.

No wonder the public sector continues to grow and the private sector continues to languish.

ONE OF STRICTEST LOCKDOWNS IN THE WORLD THE hope of tens of thousands of Victorian businesses were dashed with the latest announcement of the so-called road map to recovery.

With approximately 56 total cases across regional Victoria, 1000s of businesses continue to suffer severely.

From local food businesses, clubs, pubs, and g yms to mainstream retail and tourism businesses in the Goulburn Valley, the flow-on affect is enormous.

It’s even worse in Melbourne and surrounding council municipalities.

Victoria is experiencing one of the strictest lockdowns in the world.

Increase in the number of burn-offs as fire season looms SIX thousand more burn-offs were registered with the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) between the start of May and the end of August, fresh data shows.

CFA has praised Victorians for registering their burn-offs as thousands more have taken the opportunity to clean up their properties this winter compared to last year.

CFA acting chief officer, Garry Cook said “Registering your burn-off is important as it means CFA volunteer firefighters are not called out unnecessarily when someone reports smoke, as any reports are cross-referenced with ESTA’s register,” he said.

“We’re not sure if there are more burnoffs, or simply more people doing the right thing but with almost 57,000 registered through winter compared to almost 51,000 last year, I think it’s a combination of both.

However, the fire danger period is fast approaching across Victoria, after which the window to conduct burn-offs without a permit closes.

“The best way to defend your homes is to prepare before the fire danger period begins. This includes cleaning up your

gardens, your gutters and removing flammable waste from your yards,” Acting Chief Officer Cook said.

By registering burn-offs, any reports of smoke or fire will be cross-checked with the burn-off register to avoid unnecessary response of fire services.

Landowners can register their burn-off with ESTA by calling 1800 668 511 or emailing burnoffs@esta.vic.gov.au,.

Keep your burn-off safe and legal: • Check fire restrictions with your local council and register your burn on 1800 668 511 • Check and monitor weather conditions – particularly wind • To avoid unnecessary calls to emergency services, notify your neighbours beforehand • Leave a three-metre fire break, free from flammable materials around the burn • Have sufficient equipment and water to stop the fire spreading • Never leave a burn-off unattended – stay for its entire duration • If your burn-off gets out of control, call ‘000’ immediately For more information about preparing your property, go to cfa.vic.gov.au/prepare

Foodworks Tatura grand opening AFTER a short hiatus, Foodworks Tatura has reopened under new management.

There to cut the ribbon was Tatura’s Patricia Warnett whose father, Thomas Patrick Flannagan, built on the site in 1937.

“My father would’ve been thrilled to see this today,” Patricia said.

One of larger employers in retail in Tatura, Foodworks Tatura employs 37 staff with nine dedicated department managers. Open seven days a week, an on-site butcher, fresh fish subject to availability and freshly-squeezed orange juice are at your door step.

“We hand-pick our produce weekly direct from the market,” Foodworks Tatura owner, Tina Reddrop said.

Foodworks Tatura offers many vegetarian and vegan options, and a large range of locallyproduced goods from the Goulburn Valley.

Foodworks Tatura store manager, Craig Bramley and his team are looking forward to serving Tatura and the broader community daily from 7am until 8pm Foodworks Tatura is located at 112 Hogan Street, Tatura and can be contacted on 5824 1122.

Warm weather brings out the snakes AS the weather begins to warm up, the snakes are beginning to come out of their hibernation.

Experts are warning people across the state to be on the lookout for snakes, with recent wet and warm weather bringing them out earlier than usual.

“It is out-of-the-ordinary to see snakes this early,” the Australian Reptile Park, head of reptiles, Daniel Rumsey said in a statement on Tuesday.

“As we go into spring, it’s the season to brush up on your snakebite first aid knowledge and ensure all Australians are doing what they can to coexist with our slithery friends.”

About 3000 people are bitten by snakes

every year, with about 300 of them receiving antivenom and one or two bites, on average, proving fatal, the park says.

Depending on the type of snake, a bite can destroy blood cells, cause blood clots or cause excessive bleeding.

If untreated immediately, a person can die within 30 minutes depending on the amount of venom injected and the species of snake.

Mr Ramsey said bite victims must be kept calm and still, and have their whole injured limb pressure-bandaged.

He also recommends keeping backyard grass short, and avoiding piling up sticks and rubbish, especially items like tin sheets, which draw in heat.

A LEADER IN AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CARS...

A 1968 Holden Monaro GTS restored by Maskell Custom and Classics in Shepparton.

Australian

muscle THE first-generation Holden Monaro, inspired in design and performance by the popular American muscle cars, arrived on the scene in 1968 and took a dominant position in the Australian car market.

Its unique look was inspired by the designs of American cars in the GM stable including the Camero and Corvair. First introduced in July 1968 as a two-door pillarless hardtop design, it was available in three models: Base, GTS and GTS327.

The GTS versions had the full instrumentation installed which included a tachometer mounted on the centre console. This proved to be a bad location, as the driver’s knee would obstruct the view and it often rattled.

Now on display at Shepparton Museum of Vehicle Evolution,

this beautifully restored version first made its debut at the 2020 Victorian Hot Rod Show.

In its day, the Monaro could be ordered with a choice of a 161 cubic inch, straight six, a 186 cubic inch straight six, a Chevrolet 307 cubic inch V8 engine or the bigger, Chevrolet 327 cubic V8 producing 250hp (186kW).

The HK Monaro GTS327 gave Holden its first victory in the 1968 Hardie-Ferodo 500 at the hands of Bruce McPhee and co-driver Barry Mulholland. While Mulholland only drove one of the total 130 race laps, McPhee drove the remainder and also scored both pole position and fastest lap of the race.

In early 1969, the HK Monaro range was awarded Wheels magazine’s Car of the Year for 1968.
