Caped Crusader brings joy to children at relief centre

By Natasha Fujimoto

ASCENDING high over the city of Greater Shepparton, at approximately desserto'clock, the bat signal was sent up in a call for joyous relief, sugar and fun. Children at the McIntosh Relief Centre gathered in anticipation of the Caped Crusader and the chocolate bounty they knew he was sure to bring.

With weary parents, selfless volunteers and brave ADF soldiers looking on, children needing a much-needed reprieve from the impact of floods were elated when out of the shadows strode...The Bat Man!

Carrying donated chocolates, lollies, books and pencils, The Bat Man dispersed the vital supplies to one and all, bringing

smiles and sugar rushes before bedtime.

It was just what the brave kids needed after enduring a trying few days and nights being displaced from the security and comfort of their family homes.

The Bat Man was even able to supply pooches and pussy cats with treats, thanks to the kind generosity of GV Vets.

With assistance from the big-hearted folk at Big W and Officeworks, The Bat Man will make his continual return to the children of the McIntosh Centre and to Deakin Reserve as well, until all homes are high and dry and safe to return to.

Famed, generous and heroic though he is, (he even appeared on Channel Nine’s Today Show last Tuesday, October 18), The

Bat Man cannot continue to carry out his important work alone.

Further donations of sweets and treats are required and would be enormously appreciated from anyone in the community who would like to help flood impacted children smile through adversity, now and in coming weeks.

Long-time youth worker and local resident, Peter Bonnes (AKA The Bat Man) can be reached via The Bat Man Facebook page.

Finacial assistance for flood impacted

FEDERAL Government support payments are now available for flood affected residents in the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Greater Shepparton, Campaspe, Strathbogie and Mitchell Shires.

The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRP) and the Disaster Recovery Allowance (DRA) are available now until April 15 (AGDRP) and April 14 (DRA), 2023 via the myGov website with a link to Centrelink.

The AGDRP provides lump sum payments of $1,000 to eligible adults and $400 to eligible children 15 years and under.

The AGDRP is to assist with major damage sustained to property or other major assets (an asset or combined assets worth $20K or more) as a result of the October floods.

If you have lost income as a direct result of the Victorian floods starting October 6, 2022, you can apply for up to 13 weeks of income support.

To receive DRA, you will need to have earned less than the average Australian weekly income ($1,737.10) in the weeks after this income loss and if aged between 16-21, prove that you have been living independently.

If you’re a couple, you can both claim this payment and/or the AGDRP but will need to make separate claims.

To be eligible for AGDRP or DRA (or both) you need to be an Australian resident or hold an eligible visa.

To make a claim head to servicesaustralia.gov.au or if you don’t have a myGov account call the emergency information line, 180 22 66, to set up an account with proof of identification documentation at the ready.

Friends of Hospice serve up afternoon tea

LAST Tuesday, over 150 people sat down to a delightful afternoon tea at Shepparton East Football Club to raise funds for GV Hospice.

The event was hosted by the Friends of Hospice, a voluntary group that commenced fundraising for GV Hospice in 1992, making this their 30th year. In that time, a dedicated group of women have raised over $300,000.

Regional Road Map

Edging closer to a billion dollars of investment in Shepparton District

Regional Road Map

WORKING TOGETHER IS VITAL

Like many, I am finding it hard to accept the stepped process which includes all regional Victoria in one category before the easing of restrictions can occur. I value the important work of the Chief Health Officer and evidence-based research.

Like many, I am finding it hard to accept the stepped process which includes all regional Victoria in one category before the easing of restrictions can occur. I value the important work of the Chief research.

As I write this column, we are in the midst of a flood here in Shepparton Mooroopna with river levels still predicted to rise. Very substantial inundation is taking place across the community. Hundreds of homes are affected, and many people are moving to emergency centres and other places as they evacuate their homes.

Last week’s Victorian State Budget was a “hold the fort” budget. It addressed debt with higher taxes in some areas, while focusing on the broken state of our mental health system.

The money goes to support the afterhours nursing service that provided 70-80 hours of care this month. Nursing care is delivered after-hours, face to face care and over the telephone.

GV Hospice moved into their purposebuilt offices at 102 Balaclava Road in late July.

I am pleased that the funding we received in the budget brings our district closer to $1 billion in State Government investment in our region over recent years. Much of these funds are being spent on essential infrastructure in rail, health, education and agriculture.

It is a testament to our close-knit community and hardworking emergency services workers and volunteers that all that can possibly be done is being undertaken to keep us safe during this major flooding event.

In this year’s budget, the Shepparton District missed out on our big-ticket items such as the Shepparton Bypass and Goulburn Valley Health’s Early Parenting Centre but we did have some meaningful investment in education, mental health and protecting our horticulture industry.

“The new building allows us to do things that we were unable to do previously” said executive manager, Wendy Ross.

“We have clinic rooms for clients to see the physician, nurse practitioner and specialist palliative care nurses. There is a room for training, meetings and support groups and a wellbeing forum for carers is

booked for late October.”

GV Hospice focuses on supporting members of the local community with life-limiting illness. We provide symptom management and psychosocial support,

lend equipment and help clients and their families/carers to live life well.

“We could not achieve as much as we do without the wonderful support of groups like the Friends of Hospice,” said Wendy.

I was impressed with the level of warning and preparedness we were given before we reached high flood levels. Outstanding efforts have been undertaken to provide sandbags throughout days and nights to assist people in protecting their homes. The Incident Control Centre is staffed by a highly competent and diverse team from agencies across every spectrum of our emergency and welfare services.

Government

I am conscious that the Murray River is also in flood as are many other communities across Victoria and that there is much anxiety in the community during this disaster.

However, I believe there is a better and more positive way forward whereby the regions can be divided into three areas along the lines of our Primary Health Networks (PHN). This would mean the Murray PHN which incorporates northern Victoria, from Mildura to beyond Wodonga, would be assessed separately to the south-west which includes Geelong for instance, a city so closely integrated with Melbourne. I’ve called on the Victorian government to immediately put in place the mechanisms required to enable more of the contact tracing and management of the pandemic response to be in our regional health services so that they can work with our PHN’s and other health providers to beat the virus and get our communities up and going again.

Mozzies even worse after the deluge

By Stephanie Holliday

MOSQUITO numbers can explode after floods and storms, due to standing water from heavy rainfall and flooding providing the perfect conditions for mosquito breeding.

Increased numbers of mosquitoes lead to an increased risk of being bitten and contracting

mosquito borne diseases.

To reduce the likelihood of them hanging around as much as possible, clean up around your house and yard following last week’s heavy rain. Remove any pools of standing water around your house and yard, including clearing debris from ditches, cutting small

channels to help pooling water drain, and filling in holes.

Rain or floodwater may have also collected in containers and even toys around your yard, so make sure you empty and wipe them out and store them in a dry place or dispose of them responsibly.

The $10.7 million GOTAFE Goulburn Murray Trades Skills Centre redevelopment will accommodate more apprentices and students who will go on to fill skilled roles in our district.

I am in constant contact with the State Government to ensure that resources that we require are well communicated. Our community is pulling together. In the meantime, I urge everyone to follow the directions of emergency services, work together, and stay safe.

The Victorian Government allocated $6.4 million in Queensland Fruit Fly control in Goulburn Murray, Sunraysia and Yarra Valley. This ongoing funding to help protect the Goulburn Valley’s fresh fruit production from Queensland Fruit Fly is welcome.

SHEPPARTON SEARCH AND RESCUE DINNER

Arboviruses are viruses transmitted by arthropods (arthropod-borne viruses). In Australia, the main arthropod vector is the mosquito. In Victoria, particularly regional areas, the main concerns are Murray Valley encephalitis, Ross River virus disease and further out, Barmah Forest virus disease.

I was pleased that the selfless Shepparton Search and Rescue volunteers had the opportunity to celebrate their 50th anniversary before they became busy keeping us safe during the flood.

COVID-19 Testing

A million dollars was granted for the redevelopment of Verney Road School. This school is overcrowded and a redevelopment is long overdue. This funding will get the ball rolling on the planning stage and hopefully funding for its redevelopment will be granted in next year’s budget.

COVID-19 Testing

This volunteer organisation has played a vital role in our community and continues to protect us today and into the future.

Be vigilant in the next couple of weeks by using mosquito repellent, avoiding outdoor activities at dawn and dusk where possible, and wearing loose fitting clothes that cover your skin.

Our region will also benefit from the $200 million School Mental Health Fund, aimed to help our schools deliver programs, staff, and other support tailored to unique needs. This funding could fully fund the Neighbourhood Schools Project, if its application is successful.

Anyone unwell with symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, loss of sense of smell, no matter how mild, should get tested for COVID-19 immediately and stay at home until you receive the result. You can now be tested at Goulburn Valley Health’s Acute Respiratory Clinic ( ARC ) at Graham Street, Shepparton, seven days per week between 10:00 am – 5:30 pm.

Along with six other regional sites, Shepparton will receive a Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership to help the professional development of our teachers, which will lead to higher educational outcomes for the district’s students.

Shepparton Search and Rescue works closely with the State Emergency Service and responds to all flood-related incidents from attending damaged roofs to moving fallen trees, sandbagging, and rescuing people from their homes and flooded areas. They also make sure the community has access to food and water in times of emergency.

The Adviser publishes late - first time in nearly 40 years

We are living in very challenging times. We continue to bear enormous social and economic costs and the need to work together at all levels has never been greater.

On behalf of the community, I thank these volunteers for taking care of us in times of emergency.

state of the Goulburn Valley Hwy.

With approximately 4,000 homes across Greater Shepparton affected by flooding, Mr Guy called on Premier Daniel Andrews to declare the floods across the Goulburn Valley a national disaster, so that further state and federal support could be unlocked.

Following the state government pledge of a $165M road relief package on Monday, Mr

Guy highlighted the significant flood damage to Victorian roads.

“Everyone is thinking towards what comes next, the clean-up operation and what it may look like,” Mr Guy said.

“I hope that we have a national disaster declaration in the City of Greater Shepparton, it’s clear in the Goulburn Valley that it’s going to be needed.”

Protecting your health during a crisis

EMERGENCIES and extreme weather events can have significant consequences on one’s health, wellbeing and safety. Floodwater and water pooled from heavy rain can spread infectious diseases, contaminate medicines, food and portable water, while making breeding places for mosquitos and other hazards. The continued stress of experiencing these conditions also has an immense impact on mental health.

The State Emergency Service (SES) can assist if you need food, medications or transportation to essential medical appointments. Contact them on 132 500 and advise them of your individual situation, which will be passed on to the most appropriate organisation to contact you.

Digital health tools like electronic prescriptions, telehealth and My Health Record are available to maintain access to

daily medications and a secure platform that holds important medical information even after physical records are destroyed.

If you cannot access your medicines, medication information, or if your medicines have been destroyed, information found in My Health Record can help maintain access to vital medications.

If you’re unable to get to your usual pharmacy, with your permission another pharmacist can use this information to help you get what you need. Users can also forward electronic prescriptions to a carer, direct to their local pharmacy or use a consumer medication management app to request new medications.

Go online to www.myhealthrecord.gov. au or for assistance with My Health Record, contact the 24/7 help line 1800 723 471. In an emergency, always call Triple Zero (000).

STATE Premier Daniel Andrews visited the region during the flood emergency, announcing a $351M package to provide immediate support as the state’s recovery from the floods gets underway. This multi-million-dollar relief package includes:

• $165M emergency road blitz to find and fix potholes, asphalting and to repair road surfaces. The package will also cover largerscale works, like rebuilding major infrastructure such as roads, bridges and culverts

• $15M to support those worst affected in housing, health and wellbeing, financial and legal counselling, as well as practical assistance with accessing grants and completing paperwork, and advice for business owners whose livelihoods are impacted by the floods

• $6M will station community recovery officers in affected areas

to help identify the needs of individuals and families whilst ensuring communities receive appropriate support for their unique requirements, and support government to identify if any further support is needed

• $15M will be dedicated to boosting the capability of Emergency Management Victoria, the State Control Centre and Emergency Recovery Victoria – key organisations that coordinate emergency responses and aid disaster recovery

• A Victorian Flood Recovery Management Plan will deliver $150M for an immediate state-coordinated clean-up, allowing crews to move quickly into worst affected areas to undertake hazard assessments and demolition of any severely damaged structures.

The State and Federal Governments are working cooperatively to finalise funding under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

A gentleman, a sculpture and a poem

By Natasha Fujimoto

A LOVE of one’s community can manifest in many ways. For some, community spirit is infused with sport while others generously donate their time as volunteers to ensure the wellbeing of others.

For all his 87 years, Vic Dohnt has lived, loved and worked in Nathalia. A self-confessed, ‘jackof- all trades’, Vic has donated thousands of hours of his time giving back to his community. Amongst many altruistic ventures, Vic has donated and planted over 100 trees for the local surrounds as well as built a shed and cleared land for a new day care centre. Vic has also tended the gardens of the district hospital.

Embodying the phrase, ‘when a person

needs a hand, you give it,’ Vic, along with his wife Joan, have shared their deep appreciation and love for their town and its community by recently gifting the district hospital with a commissioned sculpture by renown Shepparton artist, Mark Niglia.

Crafted from mild galvanised steel provided at a ‘good rate’ by Furphy & Sons, the sculpture consists of a life-sized kangaroo and emu. Speaking warmly of his collaboration with Vic, Mark said,

“Vic is a very humble man and when my wife, Alicia and I spoke to him about a plaque to sit beneath the sculpture to commemorate his many years of community service, he became quite emotional.”

The Personal Hardship Assistance Program’s ‘Emergency Re-Establishment Assistance’ fund will support families whose properties are hardest hit beyond the initial payments for food and shelter, providing up to $42,250 for uninsured properties, helping to pay for clean-up, repairs, rebuilding and replacing household contents.

Premier Andrews said, “There isn’t a second to waste as we begin recovery in flood-affected communities – whether it’s support for households, clean-ups or local roads, we’ll deliver the support Victorians need.”

“There is a significant job ahead of us but we’re equal to it – I know that all levels of government will keep working together to get this job done.”

A GIFT OF ART TO A MUCH BELOVED TOWN AND COMMUNITY...

Vic Dohnt and his wife Joan commissioned two exquisite sculptures from renown Shepparton sculptor, Mark Niglia to gift to the people of Nathalia, the town they cherish. From left, Mark Niglia and Vic Dohnt.

With a poem written in assistance by Mark and Alicia for his presentation speech, Vic and Joan proudly unveiled the sculptures in front of a host of friends and well-wishers on Thursday, October 13 at the Nathalia District Hospital.

In giving thanks to their beloved town, Nathalia, Vic read the following:

In our beloved Nathalia

A place that we call home.

We have lived through drought & floods

But never on our own.

We’ve been together for 66 years

And done our best as volunteers

Always willing to lend a hand

When things have not gone quite as planned

We have watched our community prosper and grow

In gratitude, we’d like to show, With these Aussie icons, the Emu & Kangaroo

We give thanks to Nathalia, our gift to you.

Rescues in a tinnie

JACK Stagg has become a local hero for stranded, flood affected residents in Mooroopna. 18 year old Jack and his friends have rescued over 40 people and their pets since last weekend.

Jack and his mate Digby took a boat out through Mooroopna to see the damage when they started getting requests for assistance.

"People were pretty scared because they'd called emergency services several hours ago and they hadn't shown up yet, they were pretty desperate to get out," said Jack.

They used tinnies to ferry people to safety who would otherwise have been stranded.

The backlog of rescues has since eased.

Council services closed; resources reallocated

PLEASE be aware that Greater Shepparton City Council’s offices and customer service phone line are closed, as all available Council resources are presently being directed at flood management. The most up-to-date information can be found online. To assist during this time, Council has provided the following information:

Emergency Relief Centres and sandbags

• M cIntosh Centre, Shepparton Showgrounds – pets, caravans, campervans, trailers and tents all accepted

• Deakin Reserve, Shepparton – no pets can be catered for. Tents allowed on the oval but no access for caravans, campervans or trailers

• Ballantyne Centre, Tatura – pets, caravans, campervans, trailers and tents all accepted

• Victory Hall, Tatura – unable to accommodate pets. Please bring a mattress, sheets, blankets, pillows and additional food supplies if you have them.

At the time of writing (October 19, 2022), local Sandbagging operations temporarily closed to urgently assist communities further north around Echuca, Tongala, and Kyabram. These resources will be returned as soon as it is possible.

Kerbside collection is impacted due to flooded streets and driver availability. Council cannot confirm when and where collection will recommence. Residents should place their kerbside bins on the kerb ready for collection if safe to do so.

All RRCs and Cosgrove Landfill are closed for waste disposal due to localised road closures, access to the facilities and staff unable to leave their flood-effected properties and areas. Facilities may be operational later in the week.

For the love of art

By Kelly Carmody

AT the youthful age of just 16, Tony Nardella’s love of all things art flourished into something he could not contain; he describes the feeling as an ‘art addiction’, and that when painting, he can easily lose track of time and feels as if he is in heaven.

July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon and just three days after watching this event on TV, Tony's first piece of artwork was created. The piece is called The Surface of The Moon and it depicts the way he envisioned the moon to look.

In Tony’s earlier years as an artist, he used mostly acrylic and oil products, fast forward 53 years and he is now one of the only alcohol ink painters in our region, and

his vibrant colour explosions of work are truly remarkable.

Paintings using alcohol inks, showing different techniques is a tricky art form, and Tony said it took him about three years to perfect.

“I almost gave up, being self-trained meant my work was a bit hit and miss but then suddenly, I developed a style and before I knew it my wife Jeanetta was telling me to create a business and head to the markets, so I did,” said Tony.

Tootsie Art, named after Tony’s school nickname, now can be found at the Tocumwal and Girgarre markets on a regular basis where an impressive selection of his fine art, where no piece is the same, can be purchased at a very affordable price.

Tony also creates commission pieces and can be contacted via phone on 0448 210 909 for all enquiries and for home viewings.

To view more of Tony’s unique, vibrant, and absolutely stunning artwork, head to his Facebook page ‘Tootsie Art.’

Mayor acknowledges community spirit is like no other

GREATER Shepparton City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali has thanked residents for the community spirit and resilience they have shown over the past few days, despite the extremely difficult circumstances.

With flood waters leaving thousands of homes isolated across the region, the community has stepped up to support one another and ensure affected residents have access to food, water and other necessities.

Despite flood waters now slowly starting to recede, after

days has been difficult for everyone. Thousands of properties have been affected by floodwaters in Shepparton, Mooroopna, Murchison, Tatura and our other small towns too,” he said.

“While this has been an extremely tough time for us all, residents have remained calm and patient, and the community spirit shown has been unlike any other. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone across Greater Shepparton for helping in whatever way they can.”

Rain is expected across the region from Wednesday, which Cr

on deck during the clean-up efforts, and we will require a lot of volunteers.

As of Thursday, October 20 flood waters had receded to 10.97m.

Tips for flood insurance claims

INSURANCE providers in Greater Shepparton are working hard to assist flood impacted individuals, families and businesses make expedited claims.

Below are some tips from the Insurance Council Australia on how to most efficiently set about preparing for and making a claim.

• Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to lodge a claim and seek guidance on the claim process. Remember if you can’t locate paperwork, insurers have your details on file.

• If water has entered the house, ensure that an electrician has inspected the property before turning on the electricity. Take photographs or video yourself walking through the home and

make a list of all the damaged items in each room. Ensure that you include a detailed description of each item such as brand, model and serial numbers, if possible. Pull out wet and damaged property and materials as soon as you can and start to clean and salvage where possible. Store damaged or destroyed items somewhere safe where they do not pose a health risk.

• Remember that if you pull out any carpets or strip away any sodden flooring to takes photos before and after. Speak to your insurer before you attempt or authorise any building work, including emergency repairs, and ask permission in writing. Unauthorised work may not be covered by your

policy. Contact your insurer to inform them of any urgent financial hardship, and they maybe able to fast track your claim and make an advance payment.

How to clean up after a flood: essential tips to help reclaim your home

HOW to clean up after a flood: essential tips to help reclaim your home

1. START DRYING INTERIORS RIGHT AWAY

Mould is often one of the biggest problems in a house that is flooded. Knowing how to dry out interiors does not eliminate fungal growth, but you can minimise the damage.

• Set up fans in every room to circulate air and speed up the drying process. • Do not open windows to outside humidity that can promote mold growth. • Resist running the AC because it spreads airborne spores and contaminants.

• Use push brooms to move standing water on floors and direct it outside the house. • Hang salvageable carpeting outside to dry, but do not try to save soaked padding.

2. CAREFULLY INSPECT WET FURNISHINGS

Thoroughly inspect wet furnishings, but do not haul off damaged items that can't be cleaned or repaired. Pile them outside so that the insurance adjuster can see exactly what you’ve lost.

• Solid wood furniture dries in four to six weeks and usually needs refinishing. • Dispose of anything made with particle board including veneered furniture. • Inspect damage to sofas and chairs by removing fabric coverings and padding from frames. • Clean and dry metal springs and frames, and seal them with rustinhibiting paint. • Wash upholstery or bring in a cleaning contractor who specialises in restoring water-damaged furniture.

3. QUICKLY TAKE CARE OF SOAKED CLOTHES

All types of fabric begin to mold and mildew after being soaked by floodwaters. Sort through your clothes as quickly as possible by separating washable items from dry cleaning.

• Wring out everything, but don’t store damp clothing in plastic bags. • Loosen deep dirt from washables by rinsing several times in cold water. • After repeated rinsing, soak badly soiled clothes in cold water and detergent for 24 hours.

• Finally, launder all rinsed clothing using both detergent and disinfectants in the wash cycle.

4. THINK TWICE ABOUT BEDS

Depending on their material, pillows can be saved if they aren’t too wet. Badly soaked mattresses are breeding grounds for mold and

mildew, so think twice before trying to salvage water-damaged beds.

• Brush dirt off pillow covers and check them for frays and tears. • Machine or hand wash pillows in warm water with detergent and disinfectant.

Mighty Murchison

By Kelly Carmody

THE community of Murchison has done an amazing job while being largely cut off from the outside world. They worked around the clock to keep the floodwaters off the main street as the Goulburn River became a powerful torrent.

Murchison East and the lower end of Murchison were hit hard following the peak of 12.05m around 10.42am on Monday, October 17.

The road before the bridge is now bubbling in half a dozen places and the pressure of the water underneath is so great that the sides of the road look like they are boiling. The whole road may have to be

rebuilt and the bridge will remain closed until further notice, which cuts off one of the main access points to the town.

The community’s power and phone reception is now mostly restored around the town with the river now falling below the major flood level of 10.07m.

The clean-up has begun for some while others still wait for the water to reside. The record making inundation of water has been heartbreaking for so many, but the community spirit has stayed high with heart warming acts of kindness helping keep the community together through these challenging times.

Doing what he can

THE owner of Shepparton Chargrilled Chicken, Jerry Barolli, did what he could on Sunday and offered free bottled water to locals affected by the floods.

With many people unable to get to a supermarket, many stores closed due to staff shortages, a lack of stock, or from being surrounded by flood water, Jerry's lifeline of free drinkable water would have been a

godsend for many people.

"It's about locals supporting locals. At a time when it's hard to think where to begin to help, even something like this can be a huge help to people in need," said Jerry.

At a time when it can be hard for local businesses to know how to help, simple yet significant gestures like this will make a world of difference.

It takes a village

ASK Judy Luscombe anything about knitting and she has all the answers. Having learnt to knit as a small child – she is the ultimate expert. During the Covid lockdowns of 2020, Judy knitted an entire small village, complete with bakery, a church in the midst of a wedding ceremony, a farm, and even a Country Women’s Association tearoom. She completed the whole project in only six weeks.

Judy has gone on to knit the fairy tale of Peter Rabbit and Mr McGregor. This project would be a delight in any library or kindergarten setting. Judy has been a member of the Country Women’s Association for more than 60 years. She is very respected throughout the CWA community far and wide – and her talents involve all sorts of craft. Judy is forever cooking for family, friends and the charities in which her and husband Ray support.

The Luscombe family are well known –having been farmers in the area of Toolamba for many, many years. Judy has a favourite spot that is known to most locals from

Toolamba, motorists will come across the little ‘red school house’, which is set back a little on the corner block – near the turn off to Toolamba township.

This school house was built by Judy’s son Rod, who now has settled on the family farm. The red school house is in recognition of Judy’s many years as a school teacher in the local area. At this site you will always find some of Judy’s art creations in the shape of scarecrows and many other creations, that make a visual story to tell on ‘the corner block’.

The Mooroopna CWA is an active advocacy and support group for women in country areas. By improving conditions with opportunities for rural women and families, they increase the viability and sustainability of rural communities – making rural life better and happier.

The Mooroopna branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) meet on the second Thursday of the month at the Royal Mail Hotel, Mooroopna and are always open

Premier Daniel Andrews visits the Incident Control Centre

VICTORIAN Premier Daniel Andrews was in Shepparton on Tuesday, October 18, he visited Shepparton’s Incident Control Centre (ICC) again after his visit last Friday before the peak of the flood hit.

Mr Andrews said emergency services and the government would stand “shoulder-to-shoulder” with everyone impacted by flooding.

“There'll be a big clean-up job and then there'll obviously be support for individual families and businesses that have been affected,” he said.

“It will be a record flood event, both for the number of communities affected and the number of houses affected as well.

“But the most important thing is we can clean up, we just have to make sure people are safe.”

Mr Andrews spoke of how emergency services have the ability to help in these circumstances.

"There are a number of legal instruments which transfers powers to the leader of emergency services, and everyone is working well together. We are all focussed on one thing, and once imminent danger has passed, clean up, recovery and rebuilding is our focus. Thank you to SES staff, who are focused on protecting their community," said Mr Andrews.

Mr Andrews assured our region everything will be done to help with recovery, due to our significant contribution to our country's food chain. "This is the food bowl of our nation, everything is being done and will be done to help the region recover," he said.

Waterway update

The Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority has been playing a critical supporting role during the devastating floods over recent days.

The Goulburn Broken Community Flood Intelligence Portal has proven to be a vital information tool with residents looking to assess their exposure to risk of flooding.

The GB CMA’s experienced staff has been on hand to fill shifts at the Incident Control Centre and provide critical support to emergency services.

The Floodplain team has provided the latest information to authorities to help best direct efforts.

Sandbagging machine helps save the day

By Deanne Jeffers

BETWEEN Saturday morning and Tuesday, October 18, Rapid Relief Team (RRT) volunteers from Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, alongside the army and community had handed out over 50,000 sandbags to support 2,500 families in need, a mammoth effort helped by RRT’s rapid sandbagging machine.

RRT operations manager, Michael Dunn, said they packed the machine onto a semi-trailer, and alongside 18,000 sandbags, hit the road from Emu Plains, NSW at 5pm on Friday.

“Getting into Shepparton in the early hours of Saturday morning was understandably a little tricky, but no amount of rain was going to stop us from safely getting these bags to folk in Victoria,” Mr Dunn said.

“We arrived into the Shepparton Showground at around 6am Saturday morning and with queues around the showground of people needing assistance, we haven’t stopped since.

“We cannot praise the efforts of the local residents and ADF personnel enough, everyone has rolled up their sleeves and pitched in. This has also included our RRT catering services where we have served 635 meals to locals based in the Shepparton evacuation centre.”

The RRT sandbagging machine allows the charity to rapidly support floodaffected communities, churning out thousands of sandbags to protect homes and businesses.

“The Rapid Sandbagger can usually produce up to one thousand bags per hour, or about two bags per second, depending on the sand quality we’re using,” he said.

Almost 200,000 sandbags are reported to have been filled by volunteers, RRT and the army before the expected major flood peak on Monday.

RRT is continuing to support flood affected communities across Victoria, Tasmania and NSW. It has 10,000 sandbags ready and, access allowing, will set up the sandbagger next in Kerang to assist locals.

The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety final report challenges us to create better aged care services and a better standard of care for older Australians.

In March 2021, the Australian Government announced a review of Aged Care Quality Standards (Quality Standards) in response to Recommendation 19 of the Royal Commission final report.

We’re encouraging input from older Australians, families and carers, aged care providers, the workforce and anyone interested in contributing to the future of aged care in Australia.

Consultations are open between 27 September to 7 November 2022.

To have your say about the Quality Standards, visit the Aged Care Engagement Hub or call the My Aged Care’s freecall phone line.

Well-deserved recognition for GV Health

SHEPPARTON’S local hospital, Goulburn Valley Health, has taken out two of the top accolades for this year’s Victorian Public Health Awards.

In the Safer Care Victoria Partnering in Healthcare category, GV Health was highly commended for its vaccination buses, Jabba the Bus and Maxine Vaccine, which enjoyed a particularly popular profile during the initial rollout of Covid vaccines.

In the same category, GV Health was awarded top honours for its collaboration with Peter MacCallum Cancer Center, Eastern Health, St Vincent’s Hospital, Deepdene Surgery, healthAbility and Access Health and Community for its innovative iCanEAT initiative.

The iCanEAT approach is a specialised pathway that assists patients with cancer, carers and health professionals to achieve and deliver optimal nutrition care.

In conjunction with its two impressive wins, GV Health also became a finalist for its Community Kitchen Project which incorporated aged care facilities, Grutzner House, Waranga Aged Care/hostel and Tatura Parkvilla Aged Care. For this initiative, GV Health was a proud finalist in the Excellence in Public Aged Care category.

Recognising the positive impact of possum skin cloaks for indigenous patients undergoing cancer treatment, GV Health created a program to incorporate the

culturally significant skins to foster healing through emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

For its Possum Skin Cloaks in Oncology program, GV Health became a finalist in the Improving Aboriginal Health category.

In praise for GV Health’s outstanding achievements, CEO Matt Sharp said,

Assisting wildlife taking refuge on the causeway

THE causeway between Shepparton and Mooroopna has become an island of refuge for wallabies and kangaroos fleeing the devastating floods that have engulfed their home in the bush.

Joining the terrified and exhausted animals are turtles and an abundance of snakes.

With the bitumen ‘bubbling’ up, Sue Kirwan from Help for Wildlife has travelled from Melbourne to help staff from Bohollow Wildlife Shelter in Bunbartha to rescue the distressed macropods.

Incredulous at sightseers who are still crossing the causeway, Sue said,

“There is a group of about eight kangaroos and wallabies on the bridge, and some have been seriously injured by cars. We’ve had to use darts to assist some and have had to euthanise others.

“The animals are highly stressed and when cars speed by or people try to take photos of them up close, they get even more frightened. One mother’s joey drowned in her pouch when she was terrified back into the water.”

With the havoc that sightseers are having on the distraught animals, Sue advises the public to keep their distance from the displaced kangaroos and wallabies as they can cause serious harm to

onlookers when frenzied.

Acknowledging the incredible work done by the volunteers at Bohollow Wildlife Shelter in Bunbartha, Sue suggested that people who would like to assist the wildlife recovery effort should head to WB Hunters or AIRR to purchase feed stock for the shelter.

“Bohollow Wildlife Shelter covers such a wide area, and the volunteers do such an amazing job.

“With the flood waters rising, the best support people can give is to buy feed, then at least, you know your money will go straight to the carers,” Sue said.

“These awards recognise excellence in innovation across the state and show that GV Health teams and initiatives are amongst the best in Victoria. Congratulations and thank you to all staff involved in these activities.”

Australia’s Biggest Quiz coming to Shepparton

HEPATITIS C is a blood borne virus that without treatment can cause liver disease and liver cancer, the fastest growing cause of cancer deaths in Australia. With more than 115,000 people living with hepatitis C in Australia in 2020, and thousands more who don’t know they have it, Hepatitis Australia has decided it’s time to put an end to the virus for good.

The historic public health goal, for Australia to be the first country in the world to end hepatitis C, is being brought to the fore in a nation-wide, world-record breaking trivia event. Australia’s Biggest Quiz will take place on 26 October, 2022, in

16 locations across Australia and virtually, with more than 100 community groups and organisation’s set to help to support the events on the ground.

People from across Australia will come together to test their general knowledge and learn about hepatitis C at the same time.

The event is designed to be a fun, easy way to bring communities together, disseminate positive information and get people talking about hepatitis C. In fact, 50 percent of people living with hepatitis C in Australia have been cured in the last five years. A simple blood test from your GP can diagnose you and an affordable 12-week course of

tablets can cure you.

Everyone is invited to join in the quiz night, have fun and learn more about how to end hepatitis C in Australia. To sign up for the live or virtual event, go to australiasbiggestquiz.org.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE BIGGEST QUIZ... People from across Australia will come together to test their general knowledge and learn about hepatitis C at the same time. On Wednesday October 26 from 7.00pm - 9.00pm the live event quiz will be held at the GV Hotel. Pictured is Jan Fran who is the Host of Australia’s Biggest Quiz. Photo: Supplied

Volunteer work is exhilarating, challenging and rewarding

By Natasha Fujimoto

FOR over 20 years, retired schoolteacher, Helen Hinks has generously devoted her time to assist others in engaging with, and enjoying, art.

As a volunteer at the old Shepparton Art Gallery and now at the Shepparton Art Museum, Helen eagerly describes how her role as a gallery guide and member of the Friends of SAM acquisition committee have enriched, challenged and inspired her.

“I find it exhilarating and sometimes quite challenging, especially when you are assisting people who may never have been to an art gallery” says Helen before adding, “while people are always excited to be here, I’m often gobsmacked by their reactions. Sometimes art can challenge people in unexpected ways and my aim is to make this engagement with art a positive experience that both widens and expands upon their ideas.

“Sometimes as a gallery attendant I have the pleasure of meeting some very knowledgeable and interested people and before I know it, I am the one who is being informed and that it truly another beautiful aspect of being a volunteer.

“As a Friend of SAM, I have assisted the group to raise and acquire exquisite ceramic pieces and artworks worth around $100K. The Friend’s group love this important work as well as organising exciting community events for the museum.

“Volunteering at SAM is about expanding your ideas about life through art and becoming a volunteer isn’t as daunting as it may sound.

“To be a volunteer at SAM you never feel like you are out in a canoe rowing against the tide because there are always old gals like me around to help and the lovely girls at the front desk are terrific and are ready to support anyone who would like to volunteer,” Helen concludes with a smile.

ENRICHING AND INSPIRING... An enthusiastic volunteer and Friends of SAM member, Helen Hinks has enjoyed engaging with people and art for many years.
