Hoop dreams

By Aaron Cordy AFTER the shock over the cancellation of the Commonwealth Games settled, the silver lining for regional Victoria was a promised $2 billion package by the Andrews Government to ensure regional Victoria still receives all the benefits that would have been facilitated by the Games.

Part of the package was meant to come to Shepparton to upgrade the BMX tracks, which could have potentially been parleyed into the much-needed upgrade to the Continued Page 10 basketball stadium.

Shepparton local sets off on the year of her life

By Aaron Cordy THE opportunity to immerse in another culture and live as the locals truly do is rare even for the well-travelled. Shepparton local Zoe van Maanenberg will live and breathe the daily life of the Czech Republic as she embarks on a year abroad with the Rotary Youth Exchange program.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mooroopna (RCM), Zoe leaves for Ostrava, Czech Republic on Saturday, January 25, 2024, for her year in exchange. The life-changing opportunity for this remarkable young lady has been a dream for several years that came about when she reached out to RCM president Richard Speedy, who helped her set up her interview.

The formal interview can be daunting with four Rotarians, which focuses on personality, behaviour, family situation, the home and how the applicant lives. For the successful

applicants, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It will be a big step for the teenager going to live with another family on the other side of the world, filled with experiences. But it is the small things that can still be the most worrying.

“Having to share a room, I've never had to do that,” said Zoe when asked what she was most dreading.

“Experiencing the cultural differences and culture shock I'm excited about. I've been to Cambodia, but somewhere new, Europe I'm excited,” she said.

“Zoe is about to go on an experience like no other. It will be both challenging and exhilarating. The benefits she will reap will last a lifetime,” said RCM secretary and youth coordinator Kelvin Rogash.

It's the first time since RCM sponsored an exchange student in 10 years. They are thrilled to help Zoe experience this great opportunity and look forward to following her journey.

Heartless theft strikes Shepparton community group

By Deanne Jeffers IN A distressing series of events, the Shepparton Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) facility has fallen victim to three break-ins over the past fortnight, dealing a severe blow to the non-profit organisation. Renowned for its commendable work in assisting disabled community members through equine therapy, the facility suffered heartless thefts, resulting in significant losses and damage.

Expressing profound sadness over the incidents, Cathy Hamilton, secretary of Shepparton RDA, highlighted the organisation's 45-year history, labelling these break-ins as their worst experience. She said, "Twice is sad, three times is very disheartening."

While local police successfully recovered the near-new rideon mower, obtained through a Community Matching Grant from Greater Shepparton Council, it was unfortunately found damaged in a nearby paddock. A generator and whipper snipper are still missing.

Valuables have been removed from the facility and the repeated thefts have prompted greater preventative measures, including the installation of security cameras. Despite the setbacks, the community is rallying behind Shepparton RDA, providing support during this challenging time.

Ongoing investigations of the thefts on Wanganui Roads emphasize the need for residents to stay vigilant and report any

Despite the challenges, Shepparton RDA remains committed

to aiding the disabled community through therapeutic horseriding programs.

Reel-y good school holiday fun THE school holidays are in full swing, and it is great to see so many families out and about enjoying the sunshine and great offerings of the Goulburn Valley.

The centre and activity precinct were funded by a $3M investment from the Victorian Government's Regional Tourism Investment Fund.

It’s wonderful to see this community asset being utilised and to see so many young people and families fishing recreationally.

Arcadia Fish Hatchery is open seven days a week, 5am to 10pm during daylight savings months and 9am to 5pm April to September.

Walk a country mile to see a doctor

By Aaron Cordy A SHORTAGE in Health Care across the country is no more prevalent than in regional communities. To see a podiatrist in Shepperton can take up to six months to get an appointment, due to the lack of skilled practitioners in these high-demand fields.

It is a crisis felt across all medical professions with the population increase but the numbers of graduates in some fields stagnating.

When the fresh batch of grads are ready to take up their posts, most will be swept up by practices in Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast.

There were 229,160 registered medical practitioners in Victoria in 2022/23, up from 222,264 in 20121/22. It seems like a staggering number, but this figure includes all nurses, psychologists, dental practitioners, chiropractors, pharmacists, paramedics and Chinese medicine practitioners, etc. This figure seems healthy, and the data suggests there are 3.3 practitioners to 100 people. But if you are having issues with your feet and you need a podiatrist locally, chances are you will have an exurbanite amount of time to see one, if you get in at all.

There are 15 practising private podiatrists across the GV, Kyabram, Numurkah, Cobram and Nagambie, and most if not all are booked out months in advance. With a decrease in the number of students pursuing the field over the last few years, this will continue to get worse.

For Chris Annett of Future Feet Podiatry, the shortage of qualified Pods in the region is a battle he knows all too well. The clinic opened around March last year and has been actively seeking another qualified podiatrist since that time. In September last year his bookings were so far in advance he had to stop advertising and turn away new patients.

work and not want to advertise. People tell me, ‘Great you're not looking for work, you should be happy you’re busy.’ But turning away people who need medical care is only going to create more problems for them in the future,” said Mr Annett.

It might even seem callous to turn away people in need or put them on extended wait periods. The simple fact is there’s not enough time in the day for skilled professionals to see everyone. Future Feet Podiatry isn’t the only practice, and podiatry isn’t the only field of medicine struggling to cope with the growing demand for care needed in Country Victoria, while waitlists get longer.

Citizenship test pass rates plummet

By Deanne Jeffers AUSTRALIAN citizenship test pass rates plunged 65 per cent between June 2022 and August 2023, with over 100,000 individuals failing amid heightened post-pandemic migration.

This marks a drop from the 80 per cent pass rate seen from 2017 to 2021.

The test, featuring 20 multiple-choice questions on democracy, rule of law and freedom of speech, requires candidates to correctly answer five questions on Australian values for a minimum 75 per cent mark.

During this period, 288,603 tests were taken, but only 187,574 passed. The reasons for the decline remain unclear, but significant changes introduced by the Morrison government in 2020, including a dedicated section on Australian values, may play a role.

While the advantages of citizenship, such as unrestricted residency, are evident, concerns arise over the increasing number of test failures. Sam Atukorala, the Ethnic Council's general manager, attributes language barriers as a major difficulty, particularly for refugees and asylum seekers.

“For those who have not gone to school and who are illiterate in their native language, there is a lot of information in the test that is hard to digest,” Mr Atukorala said.

Andrew Murley, a project officer at the Ethnic Council, has noticed a decline in successful applicants and an increase in learning difficulties since the 2020 changes. He emphasised the

TEST DIFFICULTY...

The Adviser caught up with Ethnic Council of Shepparton general manager, Sam Atukorala (pictured) and regional project manager Andrew Murley, amid new data showing citizenship test pass rates falling to 65 per cent. Photo: Shepparton Adviser

test's heightened difficulty due to the introduction of a booklet, requiring reading and writing skills for success.

“The booklet has made the test a lot harder. Previously, the Government provided a video, but the booklet means that they must be able to read and write to pass and become citizens.”

Mr Murley said English proficiency poses a significant challenge, even for native speakers.

The data release coincides with Australia Day, but 81 councils, including Greater Shepparton, won't conduct citizenship ceremonies on January 26, following a 2022 rule revocation by the Albanese government.

Tongue-twisting fun for wildlife

5822 1555

177-193 Numurkah Rd, Shepparton VIC www.fairleysiga.com.au

TWO clever echidnas at Kyabram Fauna Park are enjoying a new dining experience with puzzle feeders.

The short-beaked echidnas use their long tongues to explore and slurp up a gooey food mix, mimicking their natural behaviour in the wild. Short-beaked echidnas can be found across most of Australia and are an egg-laying mammal known as a monotreme.

The platypus is also a monotreme.

Mammal keeper Jessica Lyne said that the puzzle feeders replicate conditions where echidnas forage for food in termite mounds and ant nests.

The two echidnas, 'Eccy' and 'Norbert,' display distinct behaviours, with Eccy exploring throughout the day and Norbert often resting under a log. In summer, the echidnas are more active during cooler parts of the day, while in winter, they enter a torpor-like state, sleeping for days or weeks.

FUN WITH FOOD...

Kyabram Fauna Park’s shortbeaked echidnas’ tongues are being put to the test with puzzle feeders.

While echidnas are not endangered, they face risks from dog attacks, natural disasters, and vehicles. Drivers are advised to avoid dawn and dusk to prevent encounters with wildlife. If anyone comes

across injured or distressed wildlife, they can contact Wildlife Victoria’s Emergency Response Centre at wildlifevictoria.org.au to contribute to conservation efforts for these fascinating monotremes.

Hope and unity in Greater Shepparton A message from Jeremy Rensford, chair of the Shepparton Ministers’ Association SHEPP – for some this word instantly brings negative thoughts. But there’s a strange thing that’s been happening of late, this place is changing, and I believe changing for the better.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m well aware the many problems that face our city, however with the New Year, I enter a reflective state, and the more I contemplate things, the more I realise that this is a great place to live and getting better by the day.

I’m believing that 2024 will bring even greater change. Local Christians have been praying for years for unity in Greater Shepparton. In fact, this is our number one

prayer point in the last decade, and I can see our prayers already being answered.

Greater Shepparton has a bevy of passionate, capable and committed leaders from all walks of life, who actually like each other, and are willing to work together for the greater good of seeing our region continue to grow to be a better place to live than ever before. This will no doubt transfer to those we are leading to do the same.

Together we can be the change we are all looking for. As each individual commits to working in unison with others, including those that we disagree with, this transformation I can see will be obvious to all.

I pray blessings for you and yours for 2024.

Helping him out were his younger sister Emily (14) and their cousin Charlie McMullin (18), who travelled from Toowoomba, QLD to assist.

Asked about the importance of young people going into farming, Tyler said "The agricultural industry is a changing industry, and we need young people coming through to keep agriculture going."

Emily said, “I’m not really interested in showing, but I love coming to the show and helping out."

Tyler placed second in the Holstein Youth Challenge on Sunday and placed 5th and 7th in the National Red & White Show on Monday.

Transport icon remembered THE Shepparton community is mourning the passing of Sam Sali, a prominent figure in the transport industry and a dedicated community leader. He peacefully departed at the age of 86 on January 7 in Bendigo Hospital, surrounded by family, just eight days short of his 87th birthday.

A founding member and director of the National Transport Federation, which later merged with the Long Distance Road Transport Association in 1994 to form NatRoad, Mr Sali left a profound mark in the industry.

His dedication to service extended through his long-standing membership in the Shepparton Rotary Club, where his contributions earned him the esteemed title of Paul Harris Fellow. Additionally, he held the honour of being a life member of the Shepparton Albanian Society.

Born to Albanian immigrants who settled in Shepparton in 1937, Mr Sali pursued a career path that began with completing a motor mechanic apprenticeship. Together with his late brother Alan, he established the trucking company S Sali & Sons in 1956.

REMEMBERED... A driving force in the transport industry and the local community, the life of Sam Sali (1937-2024) was honoured at a funeral service at MOVE Museum on Friday. Mr Sali is pictured with his late wife, Nina Hysnie Sali (1941-2019). Photo: The Shepparton Adviser

Initially driving trucks for many years, Mr Sali transitioned to the management sphere in the 70s, eventually dedicating his efforts to industry advocacy.

Mr Sali was a pivotal figure in the reshaping of the Long Distance Drivers Award and was instrumental in introducing

enterprise bargaining within the sector.

A funeral to commemorate Mr Sali's life and achievements took place at MOVE Museum on Friday, January 12. Notably, he played a crucial role in establishing the local transport museum, reflecting his passion for preserving the industry's heritage.

Grant opportunity for local groups LOCAL organisations are encouraged to apply for funding through the Strengthening Rural Communities program, with grants of up to $10,000 available to support organisations across regional, rural and remote Australia to uplift their communities.

Federal Member for Nicholls, Sam Birrell said the program aimed to enhance and support the work of regional and rural organisations and their members.

“Local organisations are the backbone of regional communities and consistently provide opportunities for people to come together whatever the event, sport, occasion or hobby they specialise in,” Mr Birrell said.

“From COVID to recent flood events our community groups continue to be disrupted leading to reduce numbers,

limited fundraising opportunities as well as opportunities to organise community events and projects.

“These groups need to be supported to ensure they can bounce back to normal operation as well as remaining sustainable for the benefit of people living in regional and rural areas like Nicholls.

“These grants focus on a broad range of projects and include funds for volunteer support, events and activities, enhancing community spaces, and developing services to support local vulnerable people.”

Applications close 5pm on February 26, 2024. For further information, guidelines or to apply visit: frrr.org.au/ funding/place/src-rebuilding-regional-communities/

Hoop dreams THE fallout from the Games cancellation continued when the state came to an agreement with the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), Commonwealth Games Federation Partnerships (CGFP), and Commonwealth Games Australia (CGA) for a $380M cancellation payment. After the initial debacle over the cost of the cancelled games, it was unearthed in October the State Government spent nearly 20 times more in consulting fees than first believed.

Despite solid inroads, the State was already struggling to overcome the COVID debt. Add to that the Federal Government cut funding to over 50 infrastructure projects across the country, and there is a clear lack of money to go around.

The positive news for BMX fans is the Labor Government has freed up the funds which will allow the BMX upgrade to get underway. With new signage put up last December. The Victorian Budget 23/24 is providing more than $200M for local sporting clubs to improve their facilities and more than $11M for community sport and recreation programs.

“Through the Regional Community Sports Infrastructure Fund, we are making sure regional Victorians of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and genders can be part of the big local sporting events that bring communities together,” said a Victorian Government spokesperson. “This fund will ensure local sporting clubs have the best facilities and infrastructure to get everyone in their community involved.”

CEO’s final words G R E AT E R S h e pp a r to n C it y Council's departed chief executive has praised the partnerships and "dedicated" staff that have been involved in dealing with multiple crises that have faced the region.

Peter Harriott was CEO for eight years and officially finished his tenure on January 4. He is succeeded by Fiona Le Gassick, who took the role on Monday, January 15.

In a statement, Mr Harriott has reflected on his career and

life living in the region, and the council's achievements during his time in the job.

"There has been a lot achieved

by G re ater Sheppa r ton C it y Council over these years, but I put that down to great partnerships b e t we en com mu n it y g roup s , governments, local politicians, local authorities, ser vice providers, Councillors and staff.

So, I than k all of the incredible dedicated staff I have worked alongside and thank them for their passion to make a difference.

"I will finish by saying that Greater Shepparton City Council

has made significant commitments to the environment and social justice issues over the years, including zero emission targets, tree planting goals way above what others are doing, recognition of First Nation issues and support for inclusion of all including the LGBTIQ+ community.

"Strong leadership is required to progress these matters and in the current environment that strength and commitment needs to be reinforced. If that can happen, this Council will continue to be one of the highest performing councils in regional Victoria, as it has been for the past eight years."

Caring for Our Community

Cover up, and don’t let cancer in SLIP, SLOP, SLAP... While skin cancers like melanomas are preventable, peak bodies are concerned that melanoma diagnoses could increase over the next decade. Photo: Supplied

WITH UV levels consistently at very high and extreme levels, alarming new data has shown that melanoma diagnoses could increase by 24 per cent over the next decade.

The latest data from the Victorian Cancer Registry (VCR) shows melanoma continues to be the fifth most common cancer in our state, despite it being one of the most preventable cancers.

Last year, 2,885 Victorians were diagnosed with melanoma (1,697 males and 1,188 females), accounting for 8 per cent of all new cancer cases diagnosed in 2022 (8.6 per cent of all cancers diagnosed in males and 7.2 per cent in females).

VCR director, Professor Sue Evans, said while the report shows the number of melanomas, it doesn’t provide the full picture when it comes to the skin

cancer burden on our state.

“The report doesn’t provide the number of other skin cancers, including basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, due to the sheer volume of these diagnosed. Other skin cancers have a very high prevalence, in Victoria there are around 150,000 treatments of skin cancers," Professor Evans said.

“We predict increases in cancers like melanoma based on historical trends in patterns of diagnoses and we use data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics that projects population growth over the coming years.

While we predict an increase, we know melanoma is preventable and there are steps Victorians can take to reduce their risk of developing this type of cancer," said Professor Evans.

Repeated exposure to the sun’s UV radiation

accounts for most skin cancers, including melanoma, which can spread to vital organs like the brain, lungs and liver.

Thankfully, skin cancers are almost entirely preventable by using sun protection whenever the UV index hits 3, yet the 2022 Summer Sun Protection Survey found only 1 in 6 knew when the UV hits 3 on the index that sun protection was needed.

“You can’t see or feel UV, and it’s not dependent on the weather, so we plead with Victorians to take the guess work out and check the UV level before going outdoors and if it’s 3 or above, cover up using all five forms of sun protection,” said Head of SunSmart Victoria, Emma Glassenbury.

THE community is reminded to take measures to safeguard themselves and their families from potential mosquitoborne illnesses. Detections of Japanese encephalitis, Ross River Fever and Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE) in humans, pigs and mosquitos in Victoria last year have prompted heightened awareness and precautionary steps ahead of the peak season.

A voluntary surveillance study is underway to detect the prevalence of MVE in Greater Shepparton and Moira communities. This initiative, conducted by the Victorian Department of Health and GV Health Public Health Unit, aims to understand the extent of MVE exposure in regional communities where people are most exposed.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable summer, GV Health Public Health Unit has provided the following tips: 1. Use mosquito repellent: Apply repellent containing DEET or

2. Cover up: Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and covered footwear with socks when outdoors.

3. Install fly screens: Use screens on doors and windows and repair any holes to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. If necessary, use mosquito nets indoors.

4. Eliminate breeding sites: Remove stagnant water from containers, old tyres, and buckets around your property where mosquitoes could breed.

5. Consider vaccination: Residents in Greater Shepparton, Moira, Strathbogie, or Benalla local government areas, seasonal workers, or those working at a piggery can get vaccinated for Japanese encephalitis. Contact your pharmacist or doctor for vaccination appointments.

DAY ONE... Don’t get so caught up in the back-to-school rush that you forget to make this time special for your family. Starting family traditions is one way we can honour these special moments that often pass us by. Photo: Supplied

JANUARY is an exciting time, and we know many parents are eager to see their little ones back learning at school. Make the start of the school year special every year by adopting some of these special traditions.

Interview your kids... Get into the nittygritty and uncover your child’s goals, fears and questions about school by interviewing them before they go back. Prepare a list of openended questions for your kids, and then write or record their answers. This is a memory everyone will treasure for years to come.

Back-to-school dinner... Prepare your children’s favourite meal and celebrate the start of another school year with a family dinner. This is a great way to talk to your kids

and have them open up about how they may be feeling.

Give them a new book... Start the academic year by gifting your bookworms a new book before school starts. Kids can never have too many books and getting them books they enjoy, as well as those on their school booklist, will help keep them engaged in reading.

Plan a special activity for the end of the first day of school... You could take them to the park or for a walk in nature to burn off that first-day anxiety, plan an afternoon of craft activities or enjoy an ice cream. Spending time with your children so they can tell you about their day can help prepare for a positive start to the school year.

Save on school supplies IDENTIFY the essentials... If your child doesn’t need a new pair of school shoes, don’t add it to the shopping list. Make a list of what they really need and stick to it to keep costs down.

Buy quality... There’s a lot of truth in the saying, ‘you get what you pay for.’

Go for the more expensive backpack with the lifetime warranty, choose notebooks with the durable plastic covers. You may spend more now, but you won't have to buy replacements later and you'll end up coming out ahead.

Leave the kids at home... Shopping

with kids can be distracting and timeconsuming. Children might see items they want that weren't on the original list, leading to impulse buys; kids may have specific preferences for branded or character-themed school supplies, which tend to be pricier than generic or unbranded alternatives. Convincing kids to opt for more affordable options can sometimes be a challenge. Save money and time by leaving them home if possible.

Shop at home first... Before hitting the shops, search through your child’s school bag, room, desk and the office to see if you

already have items you need for the school year, such as stationery and notebooks.

Buy in bulk... You can save big by buying in bulk. It may not be realistic to store 20

boxes of notepads and 50 of pens, but by teaming up with other parents you can share supplies and save.

Water is what you need MOST of your child's body is made up of water. Water helps maintain body temperature, make bodily fluids and function day-to-day.

Dehydration can cause poor sports performance, tiredness, headaches and crankiness and it can lead to serious health problems.

The body needs to have enough fluid to be able to function at its best. Ch i ld ren a re at risk of dehyd ration, especially in hot weather, but it can happen at any time of the year, including winter, a nd especially when t hey a re exercising. By the time they feel thirsty, they are probably already — so it's up to parents and carers to
