McIntosh’s new look marks new chapter in vaccination

By Deanne Jeffers SHEPPARTON’S McIntosh Centre has had a makeover and last week the first cohort of young children, aged 5-11 years, received their very first Covid vaccination.

Now decorated with forest accessories, Shepparton’s vaccination hub has been equipped with a kid-friendly observation area, a sensory room, and show bags including a colouring-in book by First Nations artist Emma Bamblett, coloured pencils, stickers and fidget spinners.

Community consultation for sale of CBD carpark underway Council reveals social housing proposal ahead of submissions

By Steve Hutcheson GREATER Shepparton City Council has commenced consultation with residents and business owners following a request to sell the Maude/Nixon and Edward Streets car park in Shepparton.

Suppliers to auto industry for over 30 years  Paint and panel beating equipment  Custom mixed paint  From aerosol to 20lt 

Council is inviting submissions from residents on the proposal to sell the land for future redevelopment as social housing.

It comes after Council recently resolved to consider the sale or gifting of the Councilowned car park following a proposal request from Beyond Housing and Wintringham.

B o t h o r g a n i s at io n s a r e R e g i s t e r e d Housing Associations with long histories of supporting vulnerable members of the community through a range of innovative housing and support services.

Although only at conceptual stage, the proposed redevelopment would see the construction of a four-storey building retaining the public car park at ground level, residents’ car parking on the first floor, and approximately 30 apartments on the second and third floors. Council proposes to contribute by selling or gifting the land for an estimated value of $450,000. Upon completion, Council would take back possession of the ground floor car park land, and Beyond Housing and Wintringham would manage the residents’ parking and apartments.

As part of the proposal, Council is undertaking communit y consultation to understand the thoughts and concerns

of nearby residents and the community regarding the proposed development.

Consultation commenced on Friday, January 14 and will conclude on Monday, February 7, with Council directly notifying all adjacent landowners and occupiers of land.

“Community consultation is an important step in the process and Council is looking forward to hearing the community’s views about the possible sale or gifting of the land,” Mayor Cr Kim O’Keeffe said.

Submissions can be emailed to council@ shepparton.vic.gov.au, completed online at shaping.greatershepparton.com.au/ or submitted via post to Greater Shepparton

City Council, Locked Bag 1000, Shepparton VIC 3632. Submissions should be titled ‘Notice of Intention to Sell Land – Maude Nixon and Edward Streets Car Park’.

All submissions must be in writing and submitted by February 7, 2022 to be considered by Council. Submitters may also request to be heard by Council in support of their submission at an upcoming Council Meeting.

Council will then consider all submissions including those submitters who wish to be heard, and may decide to sell the land, part of the land or not to sell the land at a future Council Meeting in 2022.

continued from front page “Koalas prefer some eucalypt species more than others and carers of wild koalas often struggle to locate suitable food sources.

“We hope this eucalypt forest will become a state-wide or even nation-wide resource in times of natural disasters where koalas could be displaced.”

Kyabram Fauna Park and Gargarro Botanic Gardens received $4,000 from the Campaspe Shire Council Community Grants Program in 2020 to establish the food forest.

Volunteers from the Friends of Gargarro group planted the 2,000 eucalypts on three plots of land adjoining the Botanic Gardens, which is in Girgarre, 15km southwest of Kyabram.

G a rga rro projec t convenor, At hol ‘Doc’ McDonald, was enthusiastic about the partnership improving conservation outcomes for a much-loved species.

“We think it’s a great collaboration with another community-run facility within the district,” Mr McDonald said.

Koalas are currently listed as ‘vulnerable’

and their numbers continue to rapidly decline due to disease, habitat destruction, vehicle strikes and dog attacks. The WWF estimate that more than 60,000 were killed or injured during the 2019 bushfires, more

than 11,000 in Victoria.

“The food forest also adds some interest to the gardens. We can explain to visitors what it’s all about and I’m sure they’ll think it’s a pretty worthwhile thing to be doing.”’

Think ahead: isolation check list IF you return a positive test, are you prepared to isolate yourself for at least seven days?

Below is a list of essential supplies and tasks to help you be the most prepared for isolating.

You do not need to ‘stockpile’ products. Simply purchase essential items when you are grocery shopping, so you have them on hand if you contract Coronavirus.

CREATE A COVID PLAN – Plan with your household how to manage a COVID19 outbreak at home. Discuss your individual needs and plan of action. This should include a list of emergency contacts, such as your doctor, trusted friends and neighbours, employers, and community resources. If you are able, decide on and dedicate one room to be used to isolate family members who are displaying symptoms.

ENSURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO LAST AT LEAST SEVEN DAYS – Pick up enough long-life meals and ingredients so you and your household can eat for the seven days you are required to isolate. If you can, pre-make meals and store these in the freezer. Frozen meals and ingredients, canned foods, pasta sauces, pastas and grains with a long-shelf life,

dried fruits, granola bars, meal replacements, staple items like flour and coffee are a good place to start. Do not forget pet food if you have animals.

E N S U R E YO U H AV E E N O U G H MEDICATION TO MANAGE SYMPTOMS AND/OR OTHER HEALTH CONCERNS – Symptoms of Covid can be managed with pain and fever medications, such as ibuprofen. Have any prescriptions filled for an extra month if you can, and purchase vitamins and minerals to support your immune system.

FIND A RAT TEST – On day one and day six that you are isolating, you need to submit a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) to the Department of Health. Demand for RATs is greater than the supply, although supply is expected to improve.

RATs can be bought online, from pharmacies and retailers, including major supermarkets.

E N S U R E YO U H AV E E N O U G H SANITARY AND HYGIENE PRODUCTS TO MINIMISE TRANSMISSION AT HOME – To stop the spread at home and eradicate COVID-19 from surfaces, make sure you have

28-year-old charged in relation to armed robbery ARMED Crime Squad detectives have charged a man following an alleged armed robber y, which occurred at the Mooroopna Club.

It will be alleged that a man armed with a large kitchen knife entered the premises in Fairway Drive, Mooroopna, at arou nd 10.50pm on Thursday, January 6.

Once inside, the man allegedly confronted members of staff and made demands for cash before leaving the scene with a quantity of money.

No staff members were physically injured during the incident.

Police executed a search warrant at a Shepparton address on Friday, where a 28-year-old Shepparton man was arrested without incident.

He has since been charged with armed robbery and is expected to be remanded to face Shepparton Magistrates’ Court on January 17.

A 22-year-old Shepparton man has also been arrested. He was later released pending further enquiries.

Ag visa still working its way down the pipe

By Steve Hutcheson IT was with some fanfare in June of last year that the Federal Government floated the concept of an Ag Visa that might be used to rapidly bring in Pacific Island workers to assist with this season’s fruit picking. As yet, stone fruits are now in season and the visa is still not ready and no pickers have arrived under it.

Fruit Growers Victoria are currently appealing to Australians to fill in the gaps that would normally be taken up by backpackers locked into mandatory visa extensions requirements or the Pacific Islanders.

Fruit growers are also facing supply chain difficulties with a shortage of pallets and the rising costs of shipping containers along with staff shortages brought about by the pandemic as it once more bites into the Victorian workforce.

On top of all this, the Fair work Commission handed down a decision last November that requires growers to pay a minimum hourly wage instead of the familiar piece rates that have slipped into disrepute.

The Australian Fresh Produce Alliance (AFPA) issued a statement following the handing down of the decision by the Fair Work Commission stating, “For too long, employers who willingly and actively participate in third-party audited employment schemes, engage openly with Unions and participate in industry discussions on workplace conditions, are the employers that are the subjects and targets of enforcement – which does nothing to address non-compliance.”

g n i t s TA

AG VISA NOT YET IN FRUITION...

Worker shortages continue across the agricultural sector, with many growers relying on Victorian people to come forward to get fruit of the trees.

Photo: Supplied.

The Ag Visa requires bilateral agreements and if the recent tennis fiasco is anything to go by, only fully vaccinated workers will be admitted under the proposal. The problem there is that in many Island nations, the vaccination rates are less than ten percent.

Agriculture Minister, David Littleproud said the government had expected countries to have signed up to the ag visa by Christmas, but now expected that to occur in January.

Industry leaders don’t see this falling into place until at least March if not later.

A recent notice from Fruit Growers Victoria said, “Workers are usually paid on a piecework rate (volume of fruit picked) so the harder they work the more money they make, though some orchards may offer an hourly award rate paid weekly or fortnightly – those applying are encouraged to discuss pay rates with the employer prior to commencing work. Fruit Growers Victoria supplies its members with a minimum piecework rate and all growers are bound by the Horticulture

s e t o n

Award 2021.”

Continuing from the AFPA statement, “This separation of good and compliant employers from poor, non-compliant employers must now be add ressed.

Regulators, like the Fair Work Ombudsman must be well resourced to provide education materials on how to implement the Commission’s decision and enforce it. The implementation of this decision from the Fair Work Commission is critical to addressing the uneven playing field non-compliant employers have benefited from for far too long.

It is the middle of January and growers, as it is with many industries across Australia, are struggling to find sufficient workers in what is a time dependent industry.

“We really are relying on Victorians or those coming into the state to get the fruit off the tress and packed ready for distribution to markets and supermarkets,” says Michael Crisera, Growers Services manager at Fruit Growers Victoria.

Managing COVID-19 at home

By Kelly Lucas MORE people are affected by Covid in Australia than ever before. For most people recovering at home is the best option for care, unless seriously unwell and requiring urgent medical treatment. But what does it mean to manage Covid at home?

After recently contracting the virus myself, along with my fiancée and our two children, managing the symptoms at home have been challenging, but overall, it was manageable. It can be an incredibly stressful time finding out you have COVID-19 and not knowing what to expect, so watching the symptoms and understanding when you may need to get help is important.

Mild symptoms include headaches, feeling more tired than usual, a dry cough, aches and pains, sore throat, runny or blocked nose and loss of appetite or nausea. A person with mild

symptoms should be able to speak full sentences and move about the house without becoming breathless.

Rest, drinking plenty of water, eating healthy food and taking medications as discussed with your doctor or pharmacist will also assist in the recovery. Do not be afraid to ask for help, people are compassionate and when you're isolated at home and can't leave, something is bound to pop up that you may need.

If by any means you feel that yours or the person or people you are caring for have symptoms that are worsening, contact your GP as soon as possible to discuss. As with any illness, even if you're feeling well or slightly unwell, it is important to watch the symptoms.

For more information on managing COVID-19 at home please visit coronavirus.vic.gov.au

McIntosh’s new look marks new chapter in vaccination continued from front page JACK Hume, aged six, and Harper Chasemore, aged eight, were amongst the first children to receive their Covid vaccine and stick a leaf with their name on the new ‘eucalyptus vaccination tree’.

For the parents of both children, the decision to vaccinate their young children was not difficult.

Harper’s mother, Kristen Chasemore said, “I have two teenage daughters, one who will start Year 12 this year. We have a busy family life and being vaccinated gives our family protection to get back to our normal lives.”

Vaccinating young children has been dubbed as the best move in ensuring that students can get back to the classroom in 2022, following a stop-start year.

This rings true for Jack’s parents, Jade and Clinton Hume, who said they have had some close calls at daycare with Coronavirus transmission and said they were excited that vaccines had become available.

Dr Olga Illic, who cared for Harper on the day, said that it was natural that some parents and children were feeling nervous about junior vaccinations.

She said, “To help your child’s nerves, parents should explain to kids why they’re being vaccinated and the benefits of immunisation. We’re very experienced here and we know lots of tips and tricks to help children or parents who feel apprehensive.”

Children’s vaccinations will take place on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings during the school holidays at the Vaccination Hub at the McIntosh Centre in Shepparton.

B ookings are essential and can be made by calling 1800 675 398 (and select options 1-1-1) or online from January 14th at https://cvms. powerappsportals.com.

Funding Australia Day support for festivities unveiled agricultural Reflection, togetherness and strength in diversity

ONE AND FREE... Free and inclusive Australia Day events are happening around the state on January 26, including in Shepparton at Queens Gardens and Mooroopna’s W.B. Ferrari Park. Photo: Supplied.

IT is a controversial date in Australia, but for many down under, Australia Day, which falls on January 26 every year, is the perfect excuse to celebrate. This year Victorians will enjoy a wide range of free, inclusive, accessible events as part of the newly released Australia Day 2022 program.

The jam-packed program – which has been developed to encourage reflection, togetherness and everything that makes our state and country strong – will include free family-friendly and inclusive activities.

Shepparton’s event will include a traditional Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony, live music, and multicultural food, including Indian cuisine, an Aussie BBQ, and locally grown fruit salad

in support of local fruit growers.

Celebrations at Shepparton’s Queens Gardens get underway at 8.30am on January 26. Community members will be awarded for their contributions through sport, community events, senior and junior citizen awards, including a citizenship ceremony for diverse nationalities who call Shepparton home.

Australia Day is a day for all Australians, no matter where we have come from or where our stories began. It is also a day to reflect and recognise the First Nations people as the traditional custodians of our land as part of a respectful reflection on what makes our state and nation special to us. It is also an opportunity to show our gratitude to our frontline workers – those who go above and beyond every day to keep our state safe.

“Australia Day is a day for telling our story, for recognising the contributions of extraordinary Victorians and for acknowledging our strength as a community – this program is delivering a wide range of events where we can do just that,” said Premier, Daniel Andrews.

Grants from $10,000 to $70,000 will be available for eligible show societies and field day organisations to help provide the confidence and resilience they need to go ahead and plan their events in 2022 and beyond. $21M has been allocated for round two in total. The program is divided into two separate grant opportunities, $7.9M for agricultural shows and field days and a further $13.1M for capital city royal shows.

Applicants will be able to claim for eligible expenditure incurred for events cancelled in the period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, due to the

COVID-19 pandemic.

“Agricultural shows and field days generate over $1B in sales for small businesses every year,” Minister for Agriculture and Northern Australia David Littleproud said.

“For some communities and charities, agricultural shows or field days are the financial boost they need to get them through the entire year.”

Further information will be available on January 28, from the Community Grants Hub website, communitygrants.gov.au.

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.

COMPLICATIONS OF HOUSING PROPOSAL Dear Councillors, THIS letter concerns the inappropriate allocation of council resources and reflects a similar position to the recent letter by Geoff Newman that was published recently by media outlets.

The announcement to move ahead with the social housing project in Nixon Street demonstrates a lack of thorough canvassing of all issues for all stakeholders and the consistent poor council decision making regarding the prosperous visionary growth of our beautiful city.

Let me be clear, I am not against taking care of the homeless, it is our duty to look after low-income earners and people who are facing a tough time and it is appropriate that people who don’t have shelter must be provided with a sustainable roof over their head. However, Council’s recent decision to commence the project in the CBD comes with many complications which have not clearly fully researched.

Complication 1, damaging for business, commercial and residential property owners located close to the intended project and CBD, Complication 2, the proposed 4-storey complex is directly adjacent a school Complication 3, reduction in Nixon Street car parking spaces due to ramps and pylons Complication 4, no consultation with rate

payers and business Complication 5, alternative sites should be sourced out of the CBD that provide the necessary direct access to facilities as described in Mr Newman’s letter.

Businesses and landlords have had a very tough two years because of COVID-19. This recent decision will deter new businesses starting up in the city and it will create unnecessary negative financial headwinds for existing operators and landlords.

In conclusion, I am urging Council in the strongest terms to reconsider the location of this project and move it to one of the following appropriate areas away from the CBD. Location one, council owned land in Mason Street – public transport within 100m of The Boulevard, also there is close access to a walking track for recreation.

Location two, Wanganui Secondary School site.

Location three, extend the Graeme Street social housing project footprint by 50-100 percent.

Timely partnership to strengthen brand CIVIL construction company Gradian Projects and second-generation builder Monteleone Homes have joined forces in a bid to innovate and address market force pressures and supply chain bottlenecks facing the home building industry.

The partnership, which was announced in late December, will see a new generation of business focus for the 40-year-old Monteleone Homes and is the latest diversification for Gradian Projects and its rapid local expansion in just two years.

Monteleone Homes founding directors and family has a long history of building bespoke and custom designed quality homes in the region and has turned its customer focus toward designing and building homes to accommodate dual families.

However, with COVID-19 restrictions worldwide, resources and supply chain issues are constant bottlenecks for builders and that’s where the partnership with Gradian made perfect sense according to Gradian director Deepak Singh.

“The collaboration between the two of us just made a good brand even better with our resources and slightly different focus on project delivery, which will complement Monteleone Homes perfectly,’’ Mr Singh said.

Gradian Projects is a Shepparton-owned civil construction company which has been rapidly expanding since launching a nd acqu i ri ng Fi n ley-based precast concreting business, Milcast in 2018. The company launched Gradian Hydrotech, an acquisition of Total Eden in 2020 and Numurkah’s Milne Construction in 2021, defying the hurdles of COVID-19 and expanding to now employ 55 staff members.

As well as complex civil construction projects, Mr Singh said the experience and processes behind Gradian Projects’ leading-edge safety standards will also bring a new and exciting edge to the next partnership with Monteleone Homes.

“This is an extremely exciting time for both companies. Monteleone Homes has such a high and tailored customer focus and we see ourselves as being able to add a significant contribution to their already high standards.

“Our expertise in additional complex project delivery, poly fabrication, steel fabrication but also shortages of trades where we have concreters who are also qualified bricklayers, and plumbers – our collaboration is going to add a new dimension to an already great brand,’’ Mr Singh added.

Future of the Speak Up campaign SPEAK Up has been a major advocate for improved water policy and management since its inception in 2015. It highlights the important role water plays in food production and rural communities, including the positive economic and ecological outcomes from irrigated agriculture.

Its annual general meeting will be held on Sunday, February 13 from 11am at a venue still to be determined, where the campaign’s future direction will be discussed.

Lachlan Marshall, who was recently elected as a shareholder director to the board of Murray Irrigation Ltd, will step down as chair of Speak Up at the AGM, but has indicated he is happy to remain on

the committee. However, for its work to continue Speak Up must have a committee, as well as the financial means to carry on with its work.

“We will need a new chair and are hoping to get some fresh faces on the committee,” Mr Marshall said.

“I would encourage everyone who wants prosperous communities in our region to visit our website, www.speakup4water. com, and join or renew their membership.

“I also invite anyone interested in the role of Speak Up to attend the AGM,” Mr Marshall concluded.

Anyone wishing to attend the AGM is asked to contact speakup4water@gmail. com to stay informed about venue or online options.

STRONGER TOGETHER...

Treble trouble: Beware stray hooks when headed outdoors

By Kelly Lucas DOGS are great companions when fishing and camping but they are often attracted to shiny lures and bait, so it is important that we do not leave lures around for easy access.

Dogs can be curious creatures and they can sniff out a lure left behind by another fisherman, or it could simply have appeared in the shallows where the river is now low after once being snagged on a log when the water was flowing and full.

If your dog happens to hook themself, they are indeed in a bit of trouble. During our family’s holidays, it was our sevenyear-old Staffy x “Millie” that go hooked when she ran into a stump jump lure, which has two treble hooks attached.

Lures of like these are designed not to be freed easily, which makes them an immensely helpful piece of fishing equipment, but trouble for Millie. One of the treble hooks had caught in two spots on her face just under her eye, the other caught to her paw when she was trying to remove the first lot from her face.

DANGERS NEED WATERWAYS... Millie had to be sedated in order for GV Vets to remove the hook, which became attached when the Lucas family were on holidays. Photo: Kelly Lucas

When your dog gets hooked, do not remove the hooks yourself, especially treble hooks. Due to the multiple barbs, they can prove to be exceedingly difficult to remove and, in our case, no one was up for the challenge, so we went to GV Vets in Shepparton.

Millie was sedated, underwent the removal on her face and paw and was released later that afternoon with some anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. She has since made a full recovery. Our story was costly and stressful, but it could have been a lot worse. When fishing, keep your furry friends close and check the area for items that could harm children or pets, and never leave your hooks around.

Key workers eligible for close contact exemption THE number of COVID-19 close contacts continues to grow, and Victoria’s public health team will provide more essential workers with an exemption from close contact home isolation requirements, to permit them to go to work.

Wo rke r s i n e m e r g e n c y s e r v i c e s , education, critical utilities, custodial facilities, and transport and freight will join workers in the food production sector in being eligible for an exemption.

Conditions state the worker may return to work if it is necessary for continuity of operations and if other options have been

exhausted. The exemption will apply to attending work only, not any other settings.

To be eligible, workers must first notify their employer of their status as a contact, and critically, both parties must consent to the worker returning to the workplace.

They are already required to be fully vaccinated.

To reduce the risk of a contact attending work while infectious: • The worker must undertake a daily Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) for five days and return a negative result prior to attending work each day - They must wear a face

mask at all times, with exceptions when they are eating or drinking, or safety reasons, and a P2 or N95 respirator is preferred.

• They cannot enter shared break areas and the employer must try and facilitate solo break time. The employer must also take reasonable step to deploy the worker to areas where transmission risk is lower If at any time the worker develops symptoms or tests positive on a RAT, the exemption no longer applies – they are a case, must isolate for 7 days, and must notify others including their employer.

The exemption order is identical to that granted to key food and beverage workers and has been designed to protect Victoria’s essential workforce during the Omicron wave. This exemption currently applies to hospital workers, disability workers, residential aged care facility workers, and ambulance workers, except wearing a N95 mask at work is a requirement, not a preference.

More information on the conditions of the exemption and applicable workers is available at www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/ isolation-exemptions

Millions of RATs for Vic THE first major delivery of 3 million Rapid A ntigen Tests (R ATs) from the State Government’s bulk order of 44 million has arrived, with distribution to key workforces already underway.

Workers in sensitive settings and essential workforces will be prioritised to receive the RATs as part of the initial rollout. This includes essential workers in our health system, emergency services, and disability and aged care services.

Prioritising health care workers will help key staff return to work, and further protect the people in their care through regular screening.

Victorians who may have pre-existing conditions that make them susceptible to severe illness will also be prioritised – ensuring diagnosis and care can be provided as quickly as possible.

The number of free RATs distributed via

PCR testing sites has increased daily, with 91,000 distributed last Saturday compared with 1,900 on day one of the program.

In addition, more than 60 grassroots community and multifaith organisations around the state are distributing free RATs as part of their existing care and support programs.

Since the RAT reporting system opened on Friday, January 7, 145,580 Victorians have reported a positive result either via the Coronavirus website or by phone.

If you test positive on a RAT, you must report your positive result to the Department of Health by visiting www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/report or calling 1800 675 398. Dial 0 for translations.

ENDANGERED LIVES... 17 people died in preventable house fires through 2020-21, with smoking inside creating more risk for smokers and potentially causing seven of 17 fatal fires.

Photo: Supplied.

Firefighter’s issue stark warning to smokers FIREFIGHTERS are urging smokers butt out, with lit and improperly discarded cigarettes being a leading cause of house fire fatalities.

I n 2 0 2 0 -21, 17 p e o p l e d i e d i n preventable house fires, and in seven of the cases, smoking was a possible contributing factor. In total, firefighters across the state responded to more than 200 house fires sparked by smoking materials.

CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan said smoking in bed or smoking while affected by alcohol, medication or other drugs dramatically increased your risk of dying in a house fire.

“B eds, couches and other sof t furnishings are highly flammable, so if you fall asleep with a lit cigarette on these surfaces you could have just seconds to escape,” Chief Officer Heffernan said.

“Make sure you butt out your cigarettes

and ensure they are fully extinguished before putting them in the bin, as rubbish and plants can and do ignite due to improperly discarded cigarettes.”

“Fu r t her more , smok i ng materia ls frequently cause bush and grassfires, so I urge all smokers to take the time to fully extinguish their cigarettes this summer.”

Acting commissioner Freeman said if people were going to smoke inside the house, they should install smoke alarms in every room.

“Only working smoke alarms will wake you up in the event of a house fire, providing crucial time to evacuate,” he said.

“It is also very important that lighters and matches are kept well away from children, as it is not uncommon for young children to accidentally spark major house fires with lighters and matches.”

Raising resilience in children

By Kelly Lucas RESILIENCE is the ability to bounce back after challenges and tough times and although easier said than done somedays how can we raise the same resilience in our children? The single most common factor for children who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with a parent, caregiver, or other adult.

These relationships provide personalised responsiveness, scaffolding, and protection that buffer children from developmental disruption. Children build resilience over time through experience and when things don’t go well children can feel anxious, sad, disappointed, afraid, or frustrated, but teaching them that it’s okay to feel this way and that these feelings won't last forever will hopefully help

them know that they will be okay before too long.

By showing your child love, safety and security will give your child the confidence to explore their world and to recover from any setbacks they may experience. Support your child but try not to solve every minor problem for them, help your child identify and manage strong emotions and praise your child for trying no matter the result.

Dance into the new year CHILDREN are born with boundless creativity to express and energy to move, learn and play. Dance is one wonderful form of exercise which combines these elements in a fun learning environment.

Goulburn Valley Academy of Ballet (GVAB) takes students from age three and offers jazz lessons to students from age seven. Jazz and ballet are two very popular forms of dance.

Principal Melanie Coats says, “It is a wonderful thing to see the children develop from eager youngsters to highly accomplished senior dancers.”

“Dance teaches all sorts of life skills including organisation, coordination, strength, flexibility, musicality, good postu re and focus. Confidence and creativity are built up. Some students may want to go further and be involved in school productions or to become dancers or teachers themselves, but this is done in a fun and enjoyable way.”

Ballet classes follow a long-established syllabus, and all classes are taught by fully qualified teachers. Our classes and dance concert for three-and-four years are a lot

of fun, we use lots of props, costumes, ribbons to make it enjoyable.”

Dance classes run Monday to Saturday each week, 9am to 5pm on Saturday and 4 to 8pm after school, out of the Sound Shell in Welsford Street, Shepparton.

Melanie said, “Operating out of the Sound Shell has been good because we can open it up and dance outside in the open while ensuring ventilation when Covid is in the community.”

D u r i ng lo ckdow n s , t he ac ademy continued lessons online and through an app where students could practice.

Performing and connecting with others through movement is the greatest joy to the students and in 2021, they were overjoyed to return to the stage.

“The concert was great. Everybody was thrilled to perform live again. Eastbank were fantastic too, they were very helpful and did an excellent job filming the performances,” Melanie said.

Melanie can help you find the most suitable class for your family. To enroll your child in dance lessons for 2022, contact Melanie Coats on 0407 042 098.

THE new year signifies a fresh start for students. After a stop-start past two years, parents, students and teachers alike are all hopeful of an uninterrupted 2022.

While some students thrived during remote learning, others found it to be quite a struggle.

Shepparton Tutoring Centre owners Mark and Lindy Carnovale say many students might have fallen behind or, at the very least, maintained the level they were at early last year without progressing to the level they should have attained by the end of 2021.

“Many children may start this school year behind or struggling and we want to reassure students and their parents that they are not alone, and we are here to help,” Mark said.

“I wou ld a l so l i ke to t a ke t h i s opportunity to congratulate all students on their resilience in these unprecedented

times and to commend them for the progress they have made despite the immense challenges they faced.”

Mark urged parents to be proactive and not to wait until the end of the first term to seek extra support if their child is behind.

“Help give your kids a head start in 2022,” Mark said.

“With over 30 years of experience in tutoring, we’re expertly equipped to help your child reach their learning potential.”

Mark offers a free, no obligation assessment for primary and secondary students.

Shepparton Tutoring Centre has a professional team of qualified, supportive teachers. T hey a re lo c ated at 296 Wyndham Street, 1st Floor, (entrance via Wyndham Mall). Visit sheppartontutoring. com.au for further information or give Mark a call on 5831 2527.

Deskercises and best practices for a tech-heavy world “IF you keep watching the telly like that, you’re going to end up with square eyes!” It’s an old wife's tale, a favourite of mums who raised the early entrants of the tech generation.

Data from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) reveals that in 2020, just under half (46 percent) of Australian children aged six to 13 used a mobile phone, up from 41 percent in 2015. One in three (33 percent) of these children owned the mobile phone they use.

You ng a nd emerg i ng generations w ill spend an unprecedented amount of time in front of screens as smart technology and digital interfaces become even more entrenched in our lives.

Encouraging healthy tech habits, including practicing good posture, and taking rests, will put these digital natives in good stead to manage tech reliance and adverse reactions to too much technology.

When your children are on their devices, remind them to take short breaks. During this time, take a quick walk and stretch out your limbs. Roll your shoulders back and shrug your shoulder blades together, tilt your head from side to side, and don’t forget to stretch out your fingers.

Desktop computers are generally better to use than laptops or smartphones, which cannot be set up to safeguard your family’s posture. Screens optimally should be used at eye level to protect your neck and back from developing incorrectly.

The countdown is on

WITH Victorian students returning to classrooms shortly, preparation for the lead-up can be both exciting and stressful for families. Here are some helpful ideas to make the transition run as smoothly as possible for everyone, so that a wonderful start to the new schooling year can take place: Organisation is so important in the weeks leading up to a new school year, there is lots to sort out before the first big day.

Getting it done early can take some of the stress away from the process.

Things like sorting out school uniforms, shoes, books, and

bags in early January is a wonderful place to start, that way as parents or caregivers can spend more time on their children’s emotional needs as they step into the next chapter of their lives.

Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school, which is perfectly normal, so taking that time with your child/children to talk with them about their feelings is crucial.

If you can tour the school and even connect with some friends by scheduling a play date before the school year starts, that may make all the difference. Get into a routine before the first day by setting an alarm clock a few days early, run

through those morning rituals and practice doing them on time. Routines help children feel comfortable and establishing a solid school routine will make the first day of school run much smoother.

Excellence is not about being the best, it is about doing your best and it should not matter how slowly a child learns.

Encouraging your child to enjoy their school years, make friends, have fun while learning and try their absolute best is a great way to encourage confidence on first big day of the new school year.

Health Professionals Carer coaching support A GROWING body of evidence shows that a carer’s long-term outcomes improve when able to access early intervention-type services such as coaching, counselling and peer support.

In this month’s newsletter I will discuss coaching a little more.

Coaching for carers is about taking time out to think about how they are going, how they’d like things to be, and how they might take steps towards making that happen.

Carer Gateway Coaching support is offered as: • Self-guided coaching – Interactive online coaching sessions are available for carers to complete at their own pace. Each session includes information,

practical tips, resources, reflection activities and stories from Australian carers. To access this online support visit https://coaching.carergateway.gov. au/ • Facilitated coaching – a one-to-one service where carers engage with a coach in a series of one-hour sessions Facilitated coaching is: • A free coaching service for carers • Evidence-based • Shor t-term suppor t that boosts capacity and capability of carers • Aimed at assisting carers to acquire (or increase) skills and resilience within their caring role Facilitated coaching can assist carers with:

• Identifying their key needs • Increasing sense of empowerment • Learn, improve, or implement strategies and skills to support their own wellbeing Facilitated coaching is non-therapeutic.

It is not designed as crisis intervention.

Coaching is generally chosen for those seeking practical changes and improvements in personal lives. E.g. to achieve financial security, increase fitness etc.

Facilitated coaching provides time, space and support you require to work out what you want your future to look like and how to move towards it. Your coach will support you in working out what you want to change, how you want your life to be and finding ways to achieve it. Your

coach can support you with practical changes and improvements you would like to make in your daily life.

New heart starter for Strathmerton AMBULANCE Victoria (AV) has donated an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and AED cabinet to Moira Shire, to give locals a greater chance of surviving cardiac arrest.

The AED is mounted outside the amenities block beside Strathmerton Lions Park playground (26 Murray Valley Highway), which is accessed via a service road where the bus stop is. The AED is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and in this prominent position, it will help to improve health outcomes in the community.

AV’s Hume operations community engagement liaison coordinator Stefan Wycisk said, this latest addition to Strathmerton would make a real difference to the community.

“A cardiac arrest is when a person’s heart suddenly stops beating and stops pumping blood effectively around the body; it can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere,” Stefan said.

“Minutes matter and the sooner a person receives cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation from an AED, the

better their chances of survival.”

In a medical emergency, Triple Zero calltakers can direct people to the AED. Stefan said anyone could use an AED, regardless of whether they have received training.

“If someone is in cardiac arrest and an AED is available, simply open it and follow the verbal instructions. They are safe and easy to use and will not deliver a shock unless it is necessary.”

Stefan also urged residents to register with the GoodSAM (Smartphone Activated Medic) App. “GoodSAM is a life-saving smartphone app that connects Victorians in cardiac arrest with responders and defibrillators in the critical minutes before paramedics arrive,” he said.

“You will only receive an alert if you are nearby to the person in cardiac arrest. You will be given the address of the patient, along with the location of the closest defibrillator (if one is available)” This is the second AED AV has donated to the Moira Shire. The first is located at the Katunga General Store and Post Office, 11 Katunga North Road, Katunga.

The clinical trial is expected to commence this year with up to 200 participants who will experience the medicines in small groups supported by therapists and a medical practitioner.

The trial is sponsored by Monarch Mental Health.

The executive director of MMA , Ms Tania de Jong AM, said, “There is a desperate need for innovation in the mental health sector and these treatments have achieved outstanding results in overseas trials after just two to three sessions in combination with a short course of psychotherapy.

We now have the potential to help people suffering from major classes of mental illness such as depression, post- traumatic stress disorder and potentially anorexia and other eating disorders, OCD, dementia and a range of addictions.”

• Expansion of telehealth services to a scope like earlier in the pandemic, to improve access to health care during the current, and possibly future, waves.

This would include primary care and specialist items which play an essential role in health care • An adequate supply of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to GPs • The urgent need for Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) to GPs to enable them to provide a safe environment for staff and patients • Prioritisation and urgent distribution of RATs into rural and remote areas to secure patient and practitioner access in areas where not accessible to the state-run hubs currently tasked with distributing RATs • Support and resources for GPs to coordinate the care of COVID-positive patients in the community.

A for thcoming clinic al trial will measure the ef fectiveness of psychedelic medicines used in assisted psychotherapy to treat depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a medically controlled environment.

According to th e Prod uc tivit y Commission, one in five Australians had a mental illness before the pandemic. one in eight Australians (including one in four older people) were on antidepressants, an increase of 95 percent over 15 years.

These figures are expected to be significantly worse today.

Mind Medicine Australia (MMA) is part-funding a clinical trial, which has recently received Human Research Ethics approval, to study brain activity after taking psychedelic medicines.

One arm of the study will involve exposure to a single medical dose of 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and the other will involve exposure to a single medical dose of psilocybin.

According to Professor Paul Fitzgerald, one of the trial’s lead investigators, “The results of this study will inform us as to whether these substances have an effect

SENIOR representatives from five peak general practice organisations met with Minister for Health Greg Hunt and Minister for Regional Health David Gillespie to discuss challenges facing GPs and the support necessary to ensure GPs can remain open and delivering the quality-of-care Australians need.

The aim of the meeting was to improve coordination for COVID-19 care within general practice and primary care sector. Patient access to GPs is essential in relieving pressure from hospital and ambulance services during the Omicron wave. GPs have already contributed a sizable proportion of the vaccine rollout and will need additional support to take on a greater role in community COVID care.

The Ministers and the Department of Health were receptive to the series of practical solutions put forward by the peak organisations to assist GPs in remaining open, including:

HISTORICALLY, staying cool in summer has been a battle against the elements and homeowners have been limited when choosing home cooling.

The ceiling fan industry has been revolutionised by LED and energy efficient technologies, which produce better lighting and better cooling, for less money on your electricity bill.

The freedom to customise ceiling fans to your style leaves consumers with a lot more than cool air to be excited about when purchasing fans for their home.

Lights Plus business owner, Mark Librio said, “20 years ago, when I was still on the tools, you had a choice between a white fan or a grey fan. There weren’t a lot of options.”

“Timber-look and industrial fans for inside and outside the home have skyrocketed in popularity but these Page 22 – The Adviser Australia No.1:1594 Wednesday, January 19, 2022

products weren’t even on the market two or three years ago.”

“People remember what it used to be like, and more people are having fans installed when they build to avoid the heat and to finish off their home how they like. Fans sell all year around for a reason, and in the peak of summer like now, we sell dozens of fans daily.”

Lights Plus supply the full range of modern or traditional ceiling fans in three, four or five blade styles and a variety of diameters to suit your needs. Ventair manufacture the biggest range of ceiling fans for the Australian market, and you can find a huge selection of their products at Lights Plus.

Don’t get caught in the heat. Keep the air moving by heading down to Lights Plus, located at 203-205 High Street, Shepparton.
