The good times are over... for now No changes to parking likely before July

By Struan Jones C OU NC I L’ S t wo -mont h period of complimentary timed parking in the Shepparton CBD has expired, and shoppers are once again required to pay for their stay.

In a statement last week, the Greater Shepparton City Council said the decision to provide complimentary parking in December and January was “to encourage locals and visitors to support our local economy over the festive period, and to assist our community with COVID-19 recovery.”

By Struan Jones STUDENTS across Greater Shepparton funnelled back into schools across the region last week for the start of a school year that all hope will get a smoother run than 2020.

There were some teary-eyed parents

and carers dropping off young, new preps, donning shiny new shoes and uniforms that are perhaps a little too big at the moment, full of excitement as they waved farewell and joined classmates for their very first day of school.

At the gates of the McGuire Campus of the Greater Shepparton Secondary College last Thursday morning, campus principal John Sciacca greeted students back to the fold after a six-week break.

Seniors encouraged to keep an eye on eye health WHILE the last year has been dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Victorians are being reminded to remember to look after their vision and eye health.

The Vision Initiative, an eye health promot ion prog ra m wh ich a i m s to prevent avoidable blindness in Victoria, is presenting a free webinar about eye health for Victorian seniors on Thursday, February 18 from 1:00 – 2:00pm.

Hear from Shepparton optometrist, Mark DePaola, about common eye conditions, preventing vision loss, and how to access eye care services.

T he key message from T he Vision I nitiative is that most vision loss is avoidable or treatable, if it’s detected early.

So, don’t wait for symptoms, and book regular eye tests.

Age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and refractive error are the main causes of blindness and vision loss in people aged over 40 in Victoria. Many eye conditions develop slowly, and you may not notice a change in your vision until conditions are quite advanced.

NOW YOU SEE HIM...

Mooroopna Place residential aged care to open soon A $20M residential aged care redevelopment in Mooroopna is less than a month away from opening, offering 100 additional places for aged residents.

Shepparton Retirement Villages board president, Mike Hall, said, “the Mooroopna Place project is a significant investment by Shepparton Villages, less than two years after opening the $32M 120-bed facility Maculata Place in Shepparton.

“This new building brings residential aged care in Mooroopna in line with what is being offered at Maculata Place, bright open spaces, single rooms with ensuites, activities areas and break out lounge areas as well as a hairdresser

and wellness centre. This is the sort of aged care accommodation our residents in Mooroopna expect and we are delighted to be able to open stage one on February 2.”

The Mooroopna Place building in Knight St which is part of Rodney Park Village was formerly three residential facilities, but has been united under one roof.

Shepparton Villages chief executive officer, Veronica Jamison, said “We had residents saying they couldn’t believe they would be living in such a beautiful home, that they felt like they were in a resort and described Campbell Court as ‘magic’ which is exactly the sort of feedback we want to hear.

“Our staff have also been undergoing training and orientation over the last few weeks so we will be ready to start operations on move in day.”

Shepparton Villages will be closing Acacia House located at Tarcoola in Shepparton and residents from there will move across to Mooroopna Place. Some residents from Hakea Lodge and Maculata Place will also move across Campbell Court and Varapodio Way have been named in honor of founding Mooroopna Rotarians Barry Campbell and Santo Varapodio, OAM who were instrumental in the original construction of Shepparton Villages aged care in Mooroopna.

Tatura library re-opens

By Stephanie Holliday AFTER a substantial construction period, the new Tatura Library has opened.

There to commemorate the occasion were Greater Shepparton City councillors Shane Sali, Greg James, Seema Abdullah, Sam Spinks and Mayor, Kim O'Keeffe.

"The redevelopment of the Tatura Library will help meet the growing community needs and for the larger catchment area.

The Living Libraries Infrastructure program has been critical to ensure Council has been able to improve the facilities and amenities of Tatura Library for our residents," said Cr O'Keeffe.

The new building is a striking piece of architecture with the new section protruding onto Casey Street with plenty of glazing to provide views into and out of the library. Staff have been busy moving in with the new shelves stocked with plenty of

reading material.

The new Library is twice the size and includes features such as a dedicated children's area, a multipurpose meeting room, quiet reading areas and an IT zone featuring new computers. "All this extra space is great. We have dedicated sections of the library for studying, a children's reading corner, a meeting room and much more, " Tatura Library co-ordinator, Kerrie Douglas, said.

"Easier pram access also makes this space more accessible for families. We can't wait to welcome members of the community to this wonderful addition to Tatura."

The Tatura library is an integral part of the community, with the library hosting activities such as craft classes and rhyme time. The new building aims to be a hub open to all ages and abilities, a place to celebrate a love of reading.

"The wait is over! The Tat community will at long last be able to come and see what has been going on at the Casey Street construction site since January 2020," Goulburn Valley Libraries chief executive

officer, Kevin Preece, said.

The new Tatura Library is now open at 12-16 Casey Street, after being located at a temporary location in Hogan Street during the works.

Lock your cars, this is Shepparton SHEPPARTON police are once again urging people to remove valuables and keep their cars locked after a spate of thefts from parked vehicles.

Over a period of seven days in late January, police received reports of 21 thefts from vehicles. Most of the criminal instances were in the Kialla Lakes and Sanctuary Park Estate residential areas, and it is believed several more went unreported.

Theft from motor cars is hitting a green patch in Shepparton, with last year’s June crime statistics revealing

a massive 29 percent jump in that crime alone, prompting the deployment of a police mobile CCTV camera trailer to hot spots.

20 of the 21 vehicles stolen from in late January had been left unlocked. The other vehicle had a window ajar, which was forced downward, damaging the window.

Police believe many locked vehicles, parked in streets and driveways, were checked by the offenders before they moved on to find unlocked vehicles.

Two suspects have been identified.

Shepparton pair off and racing Nanna Marce duo battle it out for $250K on Amazing Race Australia MAKING SHEPPARTON PROUD... daughter Jobelle Collier and dad Rani Alegre star on Amazing Race Australia this year.

I knew one day I wanted to do it, and with my dad, because he’s just so clever and so capable and does all these crazy things all the time, so it just had to be dad.

Jobelle Collier

By Struan Jones SHEPPARTON’S own Jobelle Collier and Rani Alegre of the Nanna Marce Filipino food truck have hit national television as two of the stars of Amazing Race Australia on Network 10.

The father/daughter duo are one of 14 teams to start the adventure reality game show that sees teams race around the country, following clues and completing competitive tasks with a $250,000 prize on the line.

Jobelle said that as a child, from the first time she watched The Amazing Race, she was hooked.

“I knew one day I wanted to do it, and with my dad, because he’s just so clever and so capable and does all these crazy things all the time, so it just had to be dad,” she said.

“We’d go to a theme park and my mum would be chasing after us saying ‘Hey, don’t go on that!’ But my dad would be saying ‘Let’s go!’

For Rani, the application to be on the show came more as a surprise.

“I think it was the last day of submission, and Jobelle came out with a camera and said ‘Hey dad, let’s make a submission for the Amazing Race!’” he said.

“I said if I can just make it onto the show, I can consider myself a lucky guy already, because I know it’s a really hard show to get through to.”

Jobelle said life in Shepparton had prepared her for the challenges thrown at her and her dad during the competition.

“I think the diversity in Shepp has prepared us for lots of things. Shepparton is like a miniAustralia, right?” she said.

“You get the taste of the culture, the country, and we are so used to driving for hours, so that every time we got a clue, saying ‘You guys are driving for 1.5 hours, make sure you split up the driving’, we were like, ‘1.5 hours, that’s a cute drive!’ That definitely came in handy for sure.”

Both Jobelle and Rani said the lure of the prize money sat at the back of their minds during the race. For Rani, the prospect of winning that sort of cash would mean a donation to a charity and a deposit in the bank. For Jobelle, a family holiday.

Jobelle, a mother of two young children, prepared for her time away by pre-recording herself reading bedtimes to her kids, and ordering gifts to be sent home at pre-arranged times.

“I didn’t hear from them, but it didn’t mean they didn’t hear from me,” she said.

“It was a strategy to make sure they didn’t miss me too much.”

In terms of strategy on the show, Rani said it was simple: Be the tortoises.

“Our team thrived by being tortoises - being calculated and strategic and not rushing into things,” he said.

Jobelle said, “My dad and I are obsessed with efficiency, and we’re not afraid if we fall behind a little bit because we can watch other people and watch their mistakes.”

Jobelle and Rani were joined by family, friends, and dozens of others who gathered at Shepparton’s Terminus Hotel on Monday night to watch the premier of this year’s show.

“I hope we can make Shepparton proud.

We’re not just representing our family, but the whole town,” she said.

Have you met...

New GV Water managing director, Steve Capewell

Steve Capewell?

Where are you from, and how did you find your way to Shepparton?

I’ve been a West Australian all of my life, completing all of my schooling and university in Perth but then moving across country WA leading regional operations for the WA Water Corporation. In August last year I moved to Shepparton to work with Goulburn Valley Water (GVW).

What's the best part of your job?

It would have to be the people – whether it’s working with the staff here at GVW, or spending time with customers, stakeholders or members of the community that we serve.

Everyone understands the critical role that water plays for life, wellbeing and supporting industry and I never get tired of talking to people about that.

W hat's your favour ite thing about Shepparton?

I really like a stroll around Victoria Park Lake and other nearby cycling/walking trails, but also the charm and lovely gardens of the town centre and proximity to some fantastic wineries.

What do you do here?

I am the managing director at GVW, leading a talented and dedicated team which provides all the water and wastewater services for residential and business customers in the Goulburn Valley.

What do you do outside of work?

At the moment I am spending time getting to know our region and all of the wonderful things it has to offer. I do enjoy golf when I can find the time, as well as hitting the trails with my 12-year-old son, Dylan, who is a

What's one thing you would change about Shepparton to improve it?

keen mountain biker.

No changes to parking likely before July continued from front page THAT period is now over.

The unpopular decision means that from Monday, February 1, paid parking in on-street car parks resumed, and infringements will be issued for failure to pay.

The Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry had formally requested Council extends the period of free parking to the end of the 2020/21 financial year, however this call was rebuffed last week.

Chamber president, John Anderson, said while the Chamber’s goal was to maintain free parking across the

CBD, he admitted that any changes to the parking scheme were unlikely to occur prior to the second half of 2021.

“Council is examining the cost and viability of changes to parking, and we’re in continued discussion with them,” Mr Anderson said.

“We have a good relationship with Council, and we want to keep pressure on the Council regarding this issue in a sensible and rational way.”

Several of the councillors elected last November campaigned on the issue of free parking, however the topic has not yet been on the agenda of an Ordinary Council meeting, and again appears very unlikely to be brought up

Page 6 – The Adviser Australia No.1:1545 Wednesday, February 3, 2021

at the February 16 meeting - the first of 2021.

According to Council, the decision to enact free CBD parking could only occur after councillors had been presented with a comprehensive report of the December/ January free parking initiative, which would be part of the 2021/22 budget process at the end of the financial year.

This means no executive decision to have free CBD parking from February is likely.

In the meantime, Council will instead market the complimentary car parks that are available in Councilowned off-street car parks.

GIVE ORCHARD WORK A GO Dear Editor, THE article by Steve Hutcheson in last week’s edition of The Advisor (Supply and demand, the problem with fruit pickers, 27/1) does not paint an entirely correct or fair view on fruit picking and similar activities in our region.

The various orchards, in general, do not engage pickers directly, but via an employment agency or agencies which specialise in providing pickers, and the pickers are paid by the agency and in many cases provide many of the facilities needed by the pickers.

The pay rates quoted may be true in some cases, but in reality, are rather rubbery as pickers are generally paid on the number of boxes picked, perhaps with a minimum wage.

If they are a fast and good picker, they will be paid considerably more than a slow picker. I know this from experience when I was out of work and many years younger. I was picking potatoes and when I started, I did not earn much, but as I got better at it, I earned a good wage, so don’t start and expect to be a gun picker on the first day.

It is hard, hot and tiring work, particularly if you are unused to the type of work, but it is fulfilling.

After a while you will be fit and be in your prime to play in the football team later in the year.

We have our Pacific Island friends come into Australia to help with fruit picking and other agricultural activities, and this assists us as well as them as their countries are suffering particularly

at the moment as there is no tourism to speak of because of COVID-19.

If our State Government had had any foresight, they would have listened to the agricultural industry several months ago and made ways available for Pacific Islanders to come from their largely Coronavirus-free countries to Australia.

As it is, because there are too few people to adequately pick the fruit, we will be whinging because either fruit and vegetables are increasingly too expensive or there is insufficient to go around.

Those who are physically able should give it a go.

There are many who are not particularly fit who do many of these tasks. They do not manufacture some excuse why they can’t do the jobs.

Don’t be like the model quoted in Steve’s article who would not get out of bed unless she was paid some exorbitant fee. Jobkeeper and Jobseeker I know has caused several people to be downright lazy.

It is not a demeaning job, it may not sound flash but tradies these days tend to earn more than the ones in prestigious jobs.

New owners take over La Porchetta restaurant ITALIANS have left an indelible mark on Victorian culture over the course of generations since the initial wave of postWorld War Two migration.

Until the 1950s, Australians barely knew what garlic was – let alone espresso coffee.

However, it didn’t take long for the first espresso bars and pizzerias to open in Melbourne, in Carlton’s iconic Lygon Street district.

Fast-forward a generation to 1985, and a family restaurant was opened on Rathdowne Street by Rocco Pantaleo and Felice Nania, when they bought a run-down pizza parlour called La Porchetta.

Five years later, a franchise restaurant

opened in Reservoir in 1990 and has since spread across the state.

Here in Shepparton, a couple who knows the La Porchetta business from the inside, is Eric and Jessica Nania, relatives of the original owners of the now-famous name.

For Eric and Jessica, La Porchetta is about family, tradition, and culture. Eric has spent a lifetime in the business, which remains to this day family-oriented.

The newly re-opened restaurant on Wyndham Street in the heart of Shepparton is an opportunity for Jessica and Eric to share their passion and love of Italian food and hospitality.

“I grew up with La Porchetta, it’s part of

IT’S ABOUT FAMILY... Eric and Jessica Nania with their children, Isaac, Eric Jnr, and Bianca. Eric and Jessica are now operating Shepparton’s La Porchetta restaurant on Wyndham Street. Photo: Struan Jones

my family and I’m part of it,” Eric said.

The restaurant is now open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, with a line-up of chefs and cooks making some of the world’s favourite foods: Pizza, Italian salads, pasta and risotto, steaks and desserts.

Shepparton businesses Med-Con, SPC and Kreskas Bros Transport are some of the businesses that have shown resilience and received accolades in regards to their

adaptability and innovation.

The chamber is honoured to have Matt Nelson, Hume Region director of the Department of Jobs, Regions and Precincts to summarise the Goulburn Valley business acumen during 2020 and our future in terms of jobs, manufacturing, housing, the general economy and growth opportunities.

The Chamber welcomes attendees to the luncheon, where a sit-down lunch will be enjoyed alongside a discussion around the recognition of business, renewed vision for the region and our sense of optimism for the future. Time will be allocated for Q&As with the panel during the course of the luncheon.

Guidance through separation and divorce

HELP IS AT HAND... Pastor Barry Hutchings will lead a 13-week DivorceCare group with his wife, Beverley, starting next month. Photo: Stephanie Holliday

THE demise of a relationship is one hardship many of us have faced before. Navigating the vast range of emotions that come with a separation or divorce can seem overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

Pastor Barry Hutchings from Shepparton Church of Christ, who will lead a 13-week DivorceCare group starting in February, said the program can help people recover from the pain of separation and divorce and said he was excited about offering this course to the community.

“This was a very positive experience for me.

Painful, oh you bet, but I finally had people to talk to and listen who knew exactly what I was going through.” said a participant from a

Page 10 – The Adviser Australia No.1:1545 Wednesday, February 3, 2021

DivorceCare group.

DivorceCare groups are led by people who have been through divorce and successfully rebuilt their lives. They understand how you feel and can show you how to deal with the hurt caused by separation or divorce.

“Unless you’ve been there, it’s hard to understand the hurt that comes from separation and divorce,” Pastor Barry said.

“That’s why many of your friends and family don’t fully understand what you are going through and don’t know how best to help you.”

DivorceCare is a support group that meets weekly over a 13-week period. Some of the modules covered are: What is happening to me?, The road to

healing, Facing my anger, Facing loneliness, New relationships,w Forgiveness, and much more DivorceCare is a network of more than 13,000 churches worldwide, the program is nondenominational and features Biblical teaching to help you with your recovery from divorce or separation.

Anyone can register and you don’t need to be a church-goer to get this valuable help. As one previous participant said, “My life was pretty much in shambles when I began DivorceCare.

This program has totally changed the direction of my life.”

The next group will be starting in February and held at Shepparton Church of Christ, so if you would like to know more or you would like to register now, call Pastor Barry Hutchings on 0414 311 322 or Beverley Hutchings on 0425 202 369 and they will be only too pleased to help you.

2021 can be a year where you find help, discover hope and experience healing.

Back in the classroom for 2021 “IT’S lovely to be back this year,” Mr Sciacca said.

“We’re just looking forward to being able to do all the people stuff that we couldn’t do last year.”

Mr Sciacca said after the turmoil of 2020, students have emerged more resilient, although expressed concerns that some would need extra academic attention to bridge the gap over last year’s lockdowns.

“We’re going to have to make sure we increase the support for some students, because they’re just a little bit behind. We’ve got the support from the Department of Education and Training to have some extra tutoring,” he said.

“I think the students are more grateful.

But they’re also more appreciative of what’s around them and the supports that are there.

“And they are resilient. More resilient for sure.”

While everyone is hoping to avoid another period of lockdown, Mr Sciacca said the

school was more prepared than ever to facilitate remote learning if the worst should happen.

John’s message to the students and staff last Thursday was simple: “My message this morning is around care and love and that we look out for one another. And that we be the best people we can be, and part of that is being ready to learn. That’s the message,” he said.

At Shepparton’s Notre Dame College, principal John Cortese said the staff and students had learnt a lot from last year’s periods of lockdown, particularly around the importance of relationships.

“Nothing is as bad as it seems, and nothing is as good as it seems,” he said.

“We’ve got a very good school...I think we’ve got a great school. The kids are wonderful. However, if we were told by Daniel Andrews that we were going back into a lockdown, shoulders would sag a bit.”

New research released last month suggests that parents are not treating their children’s eye health as a priority, despite increased screen time which can lead to digital eye strain.

Specsavers estimates that in 2020 as many as 24,972 children between the age of 5-20 in the Shepparton area may have missed an eye test because of the Coronavirus pandemic.

However, new research has found that although eye health was reported as a concern across all parents, this concern has not translated into them seeking professional advice.

Nearly 20 percent of parents or caregivers in Victoria are not seeking advice when their child has experienced or complained of an eye issue which could be detrimental to eye health, impacting their ability to learn.

There was a disparity between older and younger parents, with younger parents taking a much more preventative approach to their child’s eye health than the older age group, possibly due to the increased uptake of screens in younger children. This is potentially putting the children of older parents at a higher risk.

“Virtual and screen-based learning means children and teens alike are spending more time on their laptops and tablets than ever before, and I’ve noticed a significant rise in the number of children presenting with digital eye strain,” Specsavers Shepparton optometrist, Chris Mouser, said.

“We recommend parents bring their child to see an optometrist for a routine eye test now that school has gone back. An eye test for your child should be a part of that back-to-school checklist, even if you aren't concerned about any changes in their vision or they don't wear glasses.”

INFECTIOUS LOVE...

All you need is love

By Struan Jones VALENTINE’S Day – the epitome of a ‘Hallmark holiday’, right?

Actually, this celebration of love has some history to it.

Valentine’s Day, on February 14, falls conveniently on a Sunday this year.

Like most of the old-world traditions that Anglo-Christian culture Down Under hangs onto, we in Australia are completely divorced from the seasonal connotations of these occasions. For instance, Easter, the birth of new life, renewal, bunny rabbits and Jesus – that's all spring.

Likewise, Valentine’s Day was considered a marker of early spring, however connotations of romantic love have well eclipsed that now.

You’d hope that the story behind Saint Valentine is going to be a good one something like an early-era Romeo and Juliet

drama - but it really isn’t. In fact, it’s difficult to pin down the actual origins of the saint. It doesn’t help that numerous early Christian martyrs in Roman times were named Valentine.

And what have the Romans ever done for us? Well, the February 14 Feast of Saint Valentine was established by the Pope in Rome in AD 496, a full 227 years after one particular Valentine died, and since around about the 16th Century, the day has been a celebration of romantic love.

The most iconic Valentine’s Day symbol of course is Cupid, the winged, naked child who flies around insensibly with a loaded weapon.

So many questions.

So, for couples, Valentine’s Day is a gimme.

It’s made for people like you. For singles, unfortunately being alone on Valentine’s Day is no different to any other day of your life.

Have you been struck

by Cupid’s arrow?

By Steve Hutcheson WHAT would Valentine’s Day be without pictures of Cupid, the little cherubin with his bow and arrow?

Cupid was the ancient Roman god that had the same portrayal as the Greek god, Eros. He was the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection drawing his bow to inspire romantic love.

In the later classical tradition, Cupid is most often regarded as the son of the Roman gods, Venus and Mars, whose love affair represented an allegory of Love and War. Cupid carries two kinds of arrows, or darts, one with a sharp golden point, and the other with a blunt tip of lead. A person wounded by the golden arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire, but the one struck by the lead feels aversion and desires only to flee.

Throughout the ages, Cupid has featured

if many classical works of art, each depiction taking some particular aspect of morality to adapt myths for Christian use.

On gems and other surviving pieces from the period, Cupid is usually shown amusing himself with adult play, sometimes driving a hoop, throwing darts, catching a butterfly, or flirting with a nymph. He is often depicted with his mother, Venus, playing a horn. In other images, his mother is depicted scolding or even spanking him due to his mischievous nature. He is also at times shown wearing a helmet and carrying a shield, as political satire on wars for love, or love as war.

We possible pay little attention to the graphic images surrounding Valentine’s Day yet they are often reflections of a wealth of historical significance that seek to explain the normal emotions and relationships that go together with peaceful existence.

What is Love?

By Stephanie Holliday T HE ag e - o ld qu e s tio n , p o n d e re d by many throughout histor y, has a scientific explanation behind it to help us understand the illogical and maddening emotions we feel when Cupid’s arrow strays our way.

Few things feel as effortless as the early stages of ‘true love’ or the love felt by a mother for her child, but the reality is rather more complex. A cocktail of hormones and complex physiological interactions make us ‘feel’ in love. In essence, it turns out the science behind love is simpler than we might think.

The three main chemicals that increase when two people fall in love are dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine.

Dopamine creates feelings of euphoria while adrenaline and norepinephrine are responsible for the pitter-patter of the heart, restlessness and overall

preoccupation that go along with experiencing love.

There are three phases of love, which include lust, attraction and attachment.

Lust is a hormone-driven phase where we experience desire. Blood flow to the pleasure center of the brain happens during the attraction phase, when we feel an overwhelming fixation with our partner.

This behavior eventually fades during the attachment phase, when the body develops a tolerance to the pleasure stimulants. Endorphins and hormones, vasopressin and oxytocin, also flood the body at this point creating an overall sense of well-being and security that is conducive to a lasting relationship.

Whether you laid eyes on your true love last week or are in your 30th year of marriage, there’s no denying love makes the world go round.

Happy St.Valentines Day!

Kids getting a break

By Stephanie Holliday RESILIENCE - defined as the process of adapting well in the face of trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress.

As much as resilience involves bouncing back from adversities, it can also involve profou nd personal g row th and is an invaluable characteristic to instill in our young people.

Resilience is the inspiration behind local charity, Giz A Break.

T he bra i nch i ld of d iet it ia n Da n iel Thompson, Fairley Leadership Program participant Sönke Tremper and social worker, Kirsten Green, Giz A Break allows young people in the Goulburn Valley and surrounding regions to embark on camping trips where they engage in health-centric activities incorporated into an off-road adventure.

“It all started with me writing myself a note in 2018 while undertaking a Fairley

Leadership Program session regarding connecting passion and purpose,” Sönke said.

“I envisioned a connection between health promotion, community needs and my passion for off-road touring with working with kids around mental health.

“Da n iel T hompson approached me regarding any ideas around a grant towards addressing either physical exercise, mental health, healthy eating, or substance use in rural communities and then with the endorsement of social worker and past drought coordinator Kirsten, we were able to establish Giz A Break.”

Year 9 students from Greater Shepparton Secondary College recently ventured to Mount Stirling and Mount Cobbler, a welcome relief following a tumultuous year for many young people. The charity aims to promote the prevention, reduction and control of mental and physical health issues that affect regional and rural communities.

The GSSC students who attended these experiences enjoyed days of bush-bashing, great conversation and the development of self-sufficiency skills learnt through adventure.

The trips Giz A Break facilitate could

always do with some extra hands on deck.

People who own and have a passion for 4WDriving along with an interest in mental health are welcomed and encouraged to contact the team if they are interested in getting on board.

Self-improvement more than New Year’s resolutions

AT RISK... The Barmah Brumby Preservation Group is desperately hoping to rehome 100 Brumbies on a property adjacent to the Barmah National Park, avoiding the horses being culled by Parks Victoria. Photo: David Lee

Push to rehome horses from Barmah National Park

By Struan Jones MEMBERS of the Barmah Brumby Preservation Group (BBPG) are calling on urgent public donations to help set up a sanctuary property to rehome up to 100 brumbies set for slaughter in the Barmah National Park.

The organisation, which has fought Parks Victoria plans to cull horse numbers in the park from an estimated 540 down to about 100, is hoping the 300-acre sanctuary property will be an alternative to culling.

The Barmah National Park, east of Echuca on the Murray River, is jointly managed by Parks Victoria and the Traditional Owners, the Yorta Yorta nation.

In February last year, Parks Victoria released their four-year strategic plan for the park, which included bringing the

total number of horses down to 100, with total eradication as a longer-term aim.

President of the Barmah Brumby Preservation Group, Julie Pridmore, said her group disputes the Parks Victoria estimate of 540 horses, saying instead she believes the number to be closer to 240.

She said that despite the dispute, Parks Victoria had agreed to help the BBPG with some fencing, trapping and transporting of the horses, however the property must be ready by March to avoid culling.

“It would be a good outcome for everyone, including Parks Victoria,” she said.

The group is now seeking donations to raise $80K to facilitate the establishment of the property. Ms Pridmore said donations of hay, fencing and supplies would also be welcomed.

By Jeremy Rensford HAPPY New Year! It’s with good intentions that we begin the new year, and many of us, just over four weeks ago, made a bunch of New Year’s resolutions.

Which ones have you made? A quick Google search tells us that health resolutions seem to pop up as the most common ones – lose weight, quit smoking, exercise more – you get the drill. Impressively, I read one article that mentioned a common one was to volunteer for a charity.

It’s kind of cool that you’re reading this article at the start of February – it’s a perfect time to check in with everyone and ask – have you kept up with all the resolutions you’ve made? I’ve heard that about 80 percent of New Year’s resolutions fail! Are you in the 20 percent zone? I’m not! Thinking a bit deeper about this, I appreciate the great intentions we have to get better at life, but I also reflect on the fact that failure is something that is common to us as humans. Very common.

So, what about when we fail? What about when we get things wrong? Well thankfully I reckon I’m an expert on this! And I’m one of the local clergy!

I get feedback about Christians that sometimes we come across as ‘goody goody’, ‘holier than thou’ type people that take the moral high ground. And yes, some of us Christians unfortunately ‘let the team down’ in this respect, however I, and every other Christian in our city of Greater Shepparton are no different to anyone else - our actions don’t always match our intentions.

This, if true, makes our local churches potentially great places to be, because instead of being full of judgmental hypocrites, in reality, they’re full of

Jeremy Rensford, chair of the Shepparton Ministers’ Association. Photo: Steve Hutcheson

people that don’t always get it right but have decided the way to get better in life is to be in a connected community of people that gets Jesus to help them (He did life really well). Essentially, this approach offers much more likely success than making once-ayear resolutions that we usually can’t keep.

You may have said to yourself: ‘I’d never go to church – the roof would cave in if I went anywhere near that place!’ Well guess what – it won’t. In fact, you may be surprised some of the characters you’ll find in a church near you. In a season where we are ever so aware that we are ‘in this together’, there are wonderful church communities right here in our region that are practicing this at a deeper level than you may expect. We welcome you.

A-Grade cricket washed out E-Grade rolls the arm over

FOR the third time this season, Cricket Shepparton’s A-Grade competition has been forced to take a week off, this time due to heavy rain that fell across the region on Friday.

Junior and B-Grade matches were also called off, however lower grades on synthetic wickets went ahead.

The downpour proved too much for the turf wickets of the district, which saw between 20-40mm of rain.

With five rounds left to play this season, Nagambie holds top spot on the Haisman Shield A-Grade ladder, followed by Waaia, Mooroopna, and Numurkah.

Action continued in E-Grade however, with Pine Lodge doing

enough to defeat Shepparton United at Princess Park’s McGregor Oval.

Pine Lodge posted 179 for their first innings after sending themselves into bat. Wicketkeeper Damien Pigatto made a solid 50, top-scoring for Pine Lodge as United cycled through an incredible smorgasbord of 10 bowlers.

In reply, United opener and big-hitter James Longley was in touch, hammering his way to 86 off just 55 deliveries.

The opener’s heroics weren’t enough, however. He held out to deep cover and was caught by Manjit Singh. The rest of the United’s line-up fell weakly, and ended up all out 16 runs short

of victory.

Singh’s spin bowling was most effective, taking 4/16 from seven overs.

In other E-Grade results: • Old Students White 8/132 J Bathman 58, M NewtonKing 2/20, R Hammer 2/32 def by Old Students Blue 7/139 J Wild 44, R Hammer 32*, M Earl 3/11, R Humphrey 2/22 • Mooroopna 3/209 DC Hatton 104*, W Emanuelli 39 def Tatura 9/58 L Hall 3/9, P Schnorrenberg 2/1, DG Meek 2/6 • Nagambie 1/59 T Bush 27*, H Mckeown 25* def Murchison 56 JW Brook 3/2, D Brown 3/9

GOTCHYA... United’s Ishtpal Singh unhappy with himself after edging to gully off the bowling of Angus Giffin.

HELD ON... Manjit Singh on the run catching United big-hitter James Longley in the outfield. The catch sealed United’s fate.
