Representatives from Bright Dairy tour Pactum Dairy

By David Lee TWENTY-FIVE representatives from Bright Dairy in China visited Pactum Dairy in the Goulburn Valley on Friday last week, to see how and where their product, Excellent Plus, is produced.

The group, which contained media representatives and a film and marketing team, took the time to visit the plant and other areas around the region to report on the product made in Shepparton and to also produce marketing material for back home.

Australian Consolidated Milk Director, Michael Auld said, “It’s important that these types of visits happen. It tells us that our customers are serious by getting behind the product.

“It’s also important from the point of view of promoting Australia, Victoria and the Goulburn Valley. It’s important that the brand Australia, Victoria and the Goulburn Valley are a part of an important international marketing campaign.”

Generously fruity donation

By David Lee SPC last week provided a generously fruity donation to homelessness network provider HomeGround Services, handing over 100 boxes of goods to be distributed among their network.

The boxes, which contained an assortment of SPC products including baked beans, Ardmona tomatoes and Goulburn Valley fruit are only part of the generous work carried out by SPC, who not only recently made a donation to SPC Ardmona Kidstown, to the MCG Rites of Passage event, to the Goulburn Valley Safety Group, the Regional Victoria Living Expo, the Cancer Council Victoria Volunteer Christmas Party and the Variety Victoria Children’s Christmas Party, but also contributes $200,000 annually to Foodbank by providing a second ‘like for like’ case of baked beans or fruit purchased throughout the year.

An SPC spokesperson said, “SPC is very happy to support the good work of HomeGround Services with these boxes of ‘Aussie’ pantry essentials.

“All Australians deserve to have access to clean, healthy food and we hope our contribution goes someway to helping those in need.

“Local growers, businesses, employees and their families from the Goulburn Valley region have worked with SPC for decades and the community support has helped us grow.

“We’re 100 percent proud to support the Goulburn Valley community in any way and give back all we can through involvement with local charities.

“We are also committed to assisting Foodbank during natural disasters, donating desperately needed products for disaster relief programs around Australia.”

$75M pledge; a healthy win Election promise to redevelop GV Health

PROMISE TO IMPROVE HEALTH… From left, Deputy Premier and Leader of The Nationals, Peter Ryan, GV Health CEO, Dale Fraser and The Nationals Candidate for Shepparton, Greg Barr. Photo: Madeleine Caccianiga.

By David Lee ELECTION promises come big and small but a healthy $75M pledge made by the Victorian Coalition Government last week, could see the Stage 1 redevelopment plans of GV Health start within six months of the funding being allocated.

The pledge, which is expected to cover half the cost of the full redevelopment of the GV Health site, will see Stage 1 carried out and will include a new emergency department (ED) with an additional 12 treatment spaces and four short stay beds, theatre complex with five new theatres and infrastructure works to complement the beginning of Stage 2.

Deputy Premier and Leader of The Nationals, Peter Ryan said, “This announcement is exciting news for Shepparton.

“If re-elected, this significant additional investment will ensure that Shepparton families have world-class health services well into the future.

“GV Health has a proud history of providing a high level of patient care and services.

“The reality is though, that it no longer lives up to what is required by the community.

“We will finish the job.”

Representing Minister for Health, David Davis at the announcement, Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell said, “The local population is continuing to grow and it is important to cater for the health care needs today and into the future.

“We are building a better hospital so it can continue to provide high-level health care services for the entire region.”

The Nationals Candidate for Shepparton, Greg Barr said, “This commitment is recognition of the hard work of many locals including the staff at the hospital led by the CEO of GV Health, Dale Fraser.

“The Nationals and the Coalition Government are committed to building better regional communities and this $75M will build a better Shepparton.”

Chairman of GV Health Board, Peter F Ryan said, “We are expecting the full redevelopment to be in excess of $2B. “If all goes well, construction will hopefully start within six months after the funding has been allocated and once completed, the whole site will be redeveloped to be functionally efficient.”

GV Health CEO, Dale Fraser said, “Given that it’s only a pledge it leaves me a little uncertain.

“What we really need is for all parties to come on board because this is just the right thing to be done. Ideally it would be great for the other candidates to match the pledge.

“The expansions, particularly to the ED, will make a substantial difference and the expansion of the theatre is also most welcomed as we have a need to continue to meet our local demands here rather than contract them to other surrounding areas. Providing more contemporary theatre space will be a great for the region and the community as a whole.

“This will provide a shot of energy to the staff at GV Health and to have somebody recognise their hard work in the conditions they have been working in is great.

“In broad terms, there will be a vision to have the entire redevelopment completed in 10 to 12 years and the masterplanning that we’re about to start will help to structure that time period.

“This will have a major economic benefit for the region as well, not only will it create hundreds of jobs during construction but also will expand on employment levels at the hospital.”

Letters to the Editor

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.

FUEL PRICES APPALLING Dear Editor, My wife and I travelled to Bendigo on Cup day. We purchased fuel from a Caltex depot in Shepparton paying 149.9 cents a litre.

At other Caltex service stations it was 147.9 cents a litre, the same as Caltex in north Shepparton.

When we arrived in Bendigo, the Caltex Servo in White Hills was selling unleaded petrol, same as in the Shepparton stores, for 135.5 cents a litre. This is a difference of 14 cents per litre. I believe the ACCC would be interested in investigating this difference if it had enough complaints. I find the difference in prices of fuel in this town as appalling.

Interesting that a Caltex servo in Canberra, where my son lives, was selling unleaded petrol for 132 cents a litre last Sunday. I call on the local servos to explain to me and all the other consumers in this paper, the reason for the hike on fuel costs in this area, and I urge them not to say fuel costs more to transport here, which is just not true.

What does the Local National Party, and other intending candidates, think about this important issue and more to the point, what are you all going to do about this to blatant price difference? In my opinion I believe that petrol pricing in this town is a pretty lousy sting.

Meantime I am sending a copy of my letter to the ACCC. I want all people who think that the price of fuel is too high in this town, take the time to write and express your views to this paper and the ACCC. It’s extremely important that we get prices that reflect a fair price for fuel in this town.

At the moment it does not appear to be so.

Incidentally Wharing Caltex Servo was 139.5 cents a litre.

I rest my case.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS Dear Editor, In the recent “AG Great Debate” in Shepparton hosted by the Victorian Farmers Federation, Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh and his Labor rival Jacinta Allan both committed to a Duck Season in 2015.

While this is great news, we’re still waiting on a promise given to us by the Nationals to reintroduce duck hunting to the Winton Wetlands.

The financial figures into Benalla show that duck hunters contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Benalla economy during the last duck hunting season at Lake Mokoan alone.

While we’ve maintained a duck season through this commitment for 2015, we’ve still lost ground and access to public land as hunters and the surrounding towns have lost financial gain from an activity which is recognised by the Coalition Government as being worth millions and millions of dollars to the Victorian community.

The same political party also promised the return of cattle to the Barmah Forest, which is now a declared National Park with fuel to burn.

This is another broken promise.

In light of the recent fires which burnt through Wunghnu and surrounding areas on little more than the light of an oily rag, imagine the catastrophic consequences, which could be unleashed on our northern fringe given the current fuel load in the Barmah National Park.

Despite recent controlled burns, this is a looming danger unlike one we’ve faced in the region in many years and which has been directly brought about by the removal of controlled cattle grazing from our Murray River foreshores.

There’s work to be done by and we need commitments, not broken promises.

Yours sincerely, Steven Threlfall Country Alliance

SHEPPARTON MISSES OUT Dear Editor, Tony Abbott is the leader of the franchise of the American Republic, called the Liberal Party, which is very liberal to the rich and the multi-nationals but tends to punish the poor for having the audacity of voting for another party.

As everybody should know only the Liberals are born to rule this country for overseas interests.

They wasted $1.7M or so sending out letters to pensioners telling them there will be no cuts to pensioners, when actually there will be, as it will be linked to the CPI and wages. Everybody knows the Liberals are hell bent on bringing in the American wage system and American style

health services, where the poor on $5 an hour cannot afford hospital cover even though most are working two to three jobs and/or relying on tips to live.

The rural community could have well used the million odd dollars on roads, a drug rehabilitation centre, housing for the homeless or elderly or a few more hospital beds etc.

This is the government that says everybody must tighten their belts and eliminate waste, whilst spending millions on a review of the Emissions Trading Scheme, which they don’t intend on implementing.

Shepparton also misses out with Labour, Daniel Andrews promising to open trade schools in every regional centre except Shepparton.

When you think of the taxes paid by this electorate the returns are abysmal.

Yours sincerely I Hay Kyabram

SCIENCE OF COMMON SENSE

Dear Editor, Regarding the ‘natural (coal seam) gas industry,’ the Liberal/Nationals and Labor want to wait for the ‘science’ to say it is safe. Science is not an absolute. What they ‘believe’ to be true one year, will be ‘proven’ to be wrong another year. It is, at best, their ‘best guess.’

The only science that should be applied to coal seam gas is the science of common sense. Toxic chemicals plus water equals a recipe for disaster.

It is not necessary. We do not want it.

I call on all parties to listen, learn and ban it forever. Local members who ‘swear it will never be introduced’ or have said ‘over their dead body,’ have zero control over what their party decides and should not be trusted or voted for.

The party who bans it forever is the only party worth voting for. The latest deceit is the ‘search for mining licences near me’ website, which of course shows no coal seam gas licences because of the moratorium.

What it should show is the overlay the Government has of where they ‘want’ to drill, which includes North East Victoria. Now that the Victorian Government has made protesting illegal, we can’t rely on ‘lock the gate alliance’ for help when the moratorium is lifted, we will all be jailed for trying to protect our properties. Our only hope is to use our votes wisely and support the party who will never allow it.

Yours sincerely Linda Simpson Oxley Concerned Farmers Wife Want to have your say?

“I will miss it”

Baring all; Jeanette Powell’s journey with the Shepparton community

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN… After being in a political role since 1990, Jeanette Powell will be finishing up as Member for Shepparton at the end of the month, but says she will miss it. From left, Jeanette Powell and husband, Ian Powell. Photo: Madeleine Caccianiga.

Page 10 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1224 Wednesday, November 12, 2014

By David Lee FOR almost 25 years, Jeanette Powell has shared a journey with the Shepparton community that has seen her achieve many things for the region, but she says the most important part of her journey, and the part she will miss when stepping down from the role as Member for Shepparton on November 29, has been the people’s lives she has touched and who have touched hers.

Jeanette said, “It’s been an interesting journey with this community because we’ve had the floods in 1993 and of course we had the 10 year drought. Trying to work with people and address their concerns with the floods is done one way and through a drought it is done another way.

“We’ve had the worst frost on record and the worst hail on record, where some farmers got hit one after another, but they have survived.

What I can say about the farming community is how resilient they are. I’ve been really proud to represent this community because it is one of those communities that are always looking for the positives, even if challenges lay ahead. It’s what country people do. They don’t just ask for hand-outs all the time, they look at how they can help themselves.

“Shepparton is growing, so we need to grow with it. I’d like to see our farming community really prosper in the coming decades, because we’ve prospered on the back of irrigation and on the back of our farming community and when our farmers do well, the community does well. They buy cars and tractors, they spend money at the cinema and buy clothes. They spend their money in the town and that flows onto our businesses.

“As a migrant myself it has been lovely to see Shepparton be one of those welcoming communities to our multicultural people.

As you travel around Shepparton there are so many multicultural population around Shepparton now. You can see Italians, Greeks, Sudanese, Africans and what they will contribute over the coming decades with their warmth and colour will be great. “Shepparton has always been one of those communities that has always been like that, we’ve welcomed communities and I think we’ve probably one of those areas that others look to, to see how we are doing it. We also have the most aboriginal people outside of Melbourne. It’s just a fantastic community.

“I’ve never been a ‘career politician;’ I’ve almost in a way been an ‘accidental politician.’

I’d done some work as a singer and some

television work and then when we were looking at having women on the council in 1990 I put my hand up to do that because I thought somebody should. It was then that I was given a lot of support to get in and after being a councillor and then shire president in 1993 and 1994, it was suggested that I try and stand for parliament. I did that and then went from the upper house to the lower house so it’s been a progression. It hasn’t been something I planned as a career path.

“For me there has been a number of firsts and I am really grateful for that. I was the first shire president and the first female in the National Party in both houses of parliament.

It’s just wonderful to be able to be the first at anything.

“The pivotal moment during my career that really showed me that this is why I do this was when I was made minister. It made me reflect on the fact that I was a ‘ten pound pom,’ I did go to public schools and grow up in public housing, but to think that I was able to become a member of parliament and that my community voted for me to become a member of parliament, and then to become a minister, really shows that anything is possible. I think that it’s great for others to see that. It doesn’t matter where you’ve come from or how much opportunity you are given you can do anything.

“To the candidates running for the seat I would say do it for the right reason. It’s a hard job but it’s an important job. It’s challenging and the hours are long but at the end of the day it is so fulfilling because when you can help somebody, whether it’s with a big or small thing, you can go home at the end of the day and feel that you’ve at least done something worthwhile that day.

“Shepparton is a wonderful place to live and I intend on staying here and I will continue being a part of the community. I’ve been asked to go on the board for Shepparton Retirement Villages and that is something I will be pursuing so that I remain involved in the community.

“I will, though, be taking a short break to get my garden and home back into order, reconnect with friends and my three grandchildren, two sons, two daughter in laws and my husband again and then I will be getting back to being involved.

“I will miss it. I will miss the people. I’ve met so many beautiful people and that’s the best and most important part of this job, being able to touch people’s lives.”

THE local Jaycar Electronics Shepparton team recently welcomed a new Store Manager, with existing team member, Chris Lane being selected for the role.

Chris was already Assistant Manager within the store, so the appointment was a natural progression.

Chris has been with the company since late 2012 rising up the ranks rapidly due to his years of experience in the electronics industry having previously worked at Dick Smith Electronics in Perth.

Team member, Daniel Standley has now filled Chris’s shoes as Assistant Manager and Brandon Garcia has progressed to Duty

Manager as well.

$85M election promise to better state’s bay ELECTION promises are already making waves after the Napthine Government announced last week if re-elected it would unveil a $65M Better Bay Plan as well as work toward the phasing out of commercial netting in Port Phillip Bay and Corio Bay. The comprehensive plan focuses on preserving and rehabilitating one of the state’s best assets, while also building important community infrastructure to enable more people to enjoy the picturesque Port Phillip Bay. The plan is set to include a $20.5M investment into new and upgraded bike paths around Port Phillip Bay, $16.7M

to protect the bay against the impacts of erosion, litter and marine pests, $4.29M to upgrade and improve fishing piers and $3.07M for Beach Patrol volunteers and investment into Surf Life Saving Clubs.

Premier, Denis Napthine said, “Port Phillip Bay is one of the many assets that makes Melbourne the world’s most liveable city and makes Victoria the best state in Australia.

“Our Better Bay Plan is the only integrated strategy to keep the bay beautiful and enhance its amenity for more people to enjoy.”

Dr Napthine said the Victorian Coalition Government was

also committed to improving recreational fishing opportunities for Victorians and if re-elected, would allocate $20M over four years towards a buy-back of commercial licences for Port Phillip Bay and Corio Bay. “This will significantly improve recreational fishing opportunities through greater fish numbers in the bay, which will in turn boost the recreational fishing industry and see benefits flow on to local businesses.

“Our vision is for Port Phillip Bay and Corio Bay to be recreational fishing meccas for locals and visitors,” Dr Napthine said.

Empire closing down!

MANY of The Adviser readers will have seen the large “Closing!” signs on the Empire Trading building over the past couple of months.

Owner, Lesa Hall says, “I have been wishing to retire for some time now, after 17 years of operating the Empire’ store. The business has been very profitable right from its inception in High Street until the present day in Benalla Road, but unfortunately, after a recent advertising campaign in both the press and online (http://www.bsale.com.au/ businesses/for_sale/12211/retail-furniturehomewares-shepparton), surprisingly, no-one has shown enough interest to purchase this well established, solid business.

“Although I feel sad to have to close Empire’, I must get on with my plans for retirement so I have decided to close the doors and lease out the property.”

Lesa will reside in Bendigo and intends to spend time relaxing and travelling in her retirement.

Lesa added “Empire has been going through an orderly “Retirement Sale” over the last couple of months and my final overseas container shipments of exclusive, high quality, new outdoor and alfresco furniture items and settings, not seen before in Shepparton, have now arrived so we are now in our final weeks of our Final Closing Down Sale. The final day of trading has not been decided but will depend on when most of the stock is sold – and it is selling fast.”

Lesa wished to remind her customers that “All Empire Gift Vouchers will expire on Sunday, November 23, regardless of the closing date, so any customers with Gift Vouchers had better get their skates on.

“Many customers have expressed their dismay that one of their favourite stores in Shepparton is closing and I would like to thank all my customers for all of their wonderful comments and support over the past 17 years and look forward to seeing them in the store seeking out the many

Making noise for local hearing impaired children TARALYE Oral Language Centre for Deaf Children Development Manager, Kevin Gray recently travelled to Shepparton to receive funds raised from local efforts during the recent Loud Shirt Day event.

Local families helped to contribute $2,000 out of their own pockets for deaf and hearing impaired children in the region and Kevin says it is so very much appreciated.

“We see five local families with hearing impairments ranging from moderate to profound deafness and who require a range of hearing appliances.

Taralye is a stand alone organisation who collaborate with local services including Australian Hearing Shepparton to provide different levels of care.

Kevin said, “We assist children from birth to 7 years of age and we find that getting children into programs from as early as 6 weeks old makes the world of difference. With early intervention, 88 percent of children catch up with their hearing peers by the time they reach 6 years of age. That means they can go to a mainstream school, they don’t have to use sign language if they don’t want to.

They can have the same fulfilling childhood in terms of academic and social abilities as any other child. We don’t look after disabled ‘kids’ we help them overcome their

“We are fortunate to receive 40 percent of our funding from the government, however the other 60 percent is dependent on donations in which Loud Shirt Day is a major part. What Friars Café and Lemon Tree Café have done for us in Shepparton is

fantastic especially given we have five local families, who we are currently working with.

“The families we see really appreciate it. They’ve been really impressed with the effort that has been put in. It means the world.”

LOCAL Tasman Market Fresh Meats in Shepparton are celebrating their 3rd birthday and are also excited to welcome a new Store Manager, with Craig Lemon joining the team.

Originally from Northern Ireland, Craig and his partner, Zoe moved to Australia three years ago to be near family members in the Goulburn Valley.

Craig trained and worked as a qualified butcher in I reland before moving to Shepparton and says that he’s found Shepparton to be a very welcoming new home.

Craig said, “The people are really good and it’s very relaxed here in Shepparton.”

When the job opportunity to manage the local Tasman Market Fresh Meats store here in Shepparton came about, Craig jumped at it.

Craig said, “I already knew some of the team and Tasman Meats’ is such a well respected brand within the industry, it was a great opportunity.

“It’s been a big learning curve adjusting to the differences between the two countries in terms of general operation, but it’s been really good.

Get to know your candidates WITH the election looming, The Adviser would like to help you get to know the first three of your local candidates vying for the seat of Shepparton in the State Election on November 29.

Name: Greg Barr Age: 49 Political Party: The Nationals Length of time working in politics: 10 years -Life and family.

I have a wife, Susan, and two children. We live in Katandra West and are involved in sporting clubs and the community. I’ve worked in the police force for 18 years, but in 2004 decided that I would begin working with Jeanette Powell as an advisor and electorate officer.

-What makes you a good candidate for the seat?

Before the police force I was in small business, but working with Jeanette has exposed me to all manners of the role. I’ve been president at the Katandra Bowls Club,

lent a hand with meals on wheels, am on the board of the Shepparton Rotary Club and been on the Recreation Reserve of Management committee.

-Where did the passion for politics come from?

I’d already been exposed to politics. It has shown me the difference I could make and the assistance that people need and that’s something I am passionate about.

-What are the policies you will focus on?

Support for agriculture, funding for health in the region and boosting education.

Progression of the GV Bypass and to ensure the Shepparton Electorate continues to get its fair share of the Regional Growth Fund.

-What will you bring to the table if elected?

I will bring a strong representation and voice in parliament for the entire Shepparton Electorate. As a former detective I am used to performing under immense pressure to achieve an outcome on behalf of the community.

Name: Rod Higgins Age: 63 Politica l Pa rt y: Australian L abor Party Length of time working in politics: 35 years -Life and family.

I married in my early t wenties and have three daughters.

After meeting Bob Hawke, I went back to university in 1989 and completed a double degree of arts and law.

In March 2000 I took up a position with Faram Ritchie Davies in Shepparton and met a local lady who has been my partner ever since. I left Faram Ritchie Davies afterward to become a sole practitioner working exclusively in criminal law.

-What makes you a good candidate for the seat?

I have always been with the same party and beliefs and have lived in this seat for over 14 years, being actively involved in local clubs and on local issues for all of that time.

I know people are doing it tough and vow to fight for Shepparton and its people at the highest levels of government.

-Where did the passion for politics come from?

I was raised in a politically aware home with working class parents. They valued education and encouraged me to share those same values.

-What are the policies you will focus on?

I will be working hard to address areas such as health, education, transport, business activity as well as the welfare of our agriculture, but the one area I would like to focus on is youth unemployment.

-What will you bring to the table if elected?

One thing I can guarantee is that if elected I will put in 100 percent.

Name: Michael Bourke Age: 58 Politica l Pa rty: Australian Country Alliance Length of time working in politics: 30 years -Life and family.

Married to Maree and we have three adult children.

Our two boys work in plumbing and our daughter is working in Banff, Canada. I teach apprentices at GOTAFE which I really enjoy and I have a love for sports and animals.

-What makes you a good candidate for the seat?

I am a country person and I understand the serious challenges country people face. I will work tirelessly to gain equal services for this electorate, which are already being provided to people living in the city. I have a proven record of achieving what I set out to do.

-Where did the passion for politics come from?

I was involved in local government at an early age.

Witnessing the neglect in rural Victoria, the passion has stirred again.

-What are the policies you will focus on?

These are some of our concerns; the bypass, agriculture, education, health, rail service, small business and a decrease in red tape.

-What will you bring to the table if elected?

Honesty, transparency, integrity.

A Foodies Tour ‘FOODIE’ tourism has become big business.

From sampling local restaurants to full on shopping and cooking classes you can find options worldwide.

For best friends Lou Kerrins and Claire Nihill of Tatura, it all became a reality. They had both been school friends and after Claire moved back to Tatura, and after much discussion, it was decided they would go on a food lovers discovery to Spain.

They flew to Madrid and went exploring the city, the main square was where all the action LTA 30728

was, tapas bars and all those little outdoor restaurants where the locals and tourists like to relax and enjoy the local dishes as they watch the world go by.

The locals help the food go down with glasses of Sangria… it’s a read spicy wine with a fruity flavour and light in alcohol, a ‘must’ accompaniment for tapas.

It was hot, just on the end of summer, so Lou and Claire were thankful for the outdoor ‘aircon’… the restaurants have water sprayers on the umbrellas that put out a puff of fine mist to cool you down.

Next they headed off to Granada. Before leaving home Claire had downloaded Lonely Planet on her mini iPad so they could look up hotels along the way and make a booking before they arrived at each town, almost everywhere they went there was free Wi-Fi, which was a real bonus.

Next was Valencia, a great city and so easy to get around, they found that at each city they would book the ‘Hop on Hop off’ bus which would give them a good overview of the main places to visit and it worked very well.

Lou was feeling a bit homesick as she had left behind her husband and three children but thanks to ‘face time’ she had daily family contact.

They arrived in Barcelona the home to the famous works of Gaudi, his cathedral Sagrada Familia is a masterpiece, Claire says it seems to be a mixture of Gothic, Russian and a mystic feel all rolled into one and well worth seeing.

In Barcelona they met up with their organised tour it was with Intrepid and they met a great group of fellow travellers. There were nine in all, five Aussies and four Canadians plus their tour guide, Jaime.

Jaime just loved food and took them to some incredible eateries featuring really rustic food and introduced them to Sarah Stothart, an Aussie who had moved to Spain and set up her own

food adventure and now ran special small group classes for Intrepid.

She took them shopping in the markets to select the food they would later cook, her home is in the old quarter and it is such an experience walking through the area to find an entrance and then an old tiny grated lift that took them to her apartment.

Here Sarah cooked up a storm, explaining each dish as they went, all from local produce including a ‘to die for’ almond cake, with lots of wine to accompany the dishes, it was a great afternoon.

Afterwards they moved to the Roija region home to Spanish wineries, at the first winery they visited, they all sat under a huge olive tree while they were served rustic food and sampled the local wine from bladders.

Then down into an old cellar dating back to the 13th century, there were huge brick archways with rows of wooden barrels, you can try a sample then bottle your own wine direct from the barrels.

The0 next day, Lou and Claire and the others INTERNATIONAL TOURS – Includes Flights & most meals boarded a train for the next leg of their journey, which would take them to San Sabastian on the = Past/Pensioner Bay ofP/P Bisque.

Their accommodation was the tennis club that overlooked the bay, a wonderful location, again the central focus was on food and they were treated to a wonderful meal overlooking the bay, later Lou and Claire went for a walk along the beach only to discover, to their surprise, that it was a nude beach (nothing like this in Tatura).

A final feast the next day, as they visited a cider festival, kind of a cider version of an Oktoberfest, there was cider everywhere and great food to go with it, rustic meats and vegetables on huge trays served to the tables and cider by the barrel, the whole experience went all day.

Their Intrepid tour was now over so before coming home they decided to visit France, they

flew to Bordeaux and of course went looking for its gastronomic delights.

The pastries were wonderful from almond cakes to biscuits that are made by the nuns, soft outside crunchy inside, and all this in a setting that was so picturesque.

Now onto Paris and what a city, the Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, a river cruise on the Seine, Notre Dame and so much more.

Now it’s back home in Tatura, a world away from Spain and Paris but for Lou and Claire there is no place like home.

Kyabram Town Have you seen John?

Hall given a new lease on life AFTER going through a reinvigoration process, the new-look Kyabram Town Hall last week re-opened to the public, after being given a new lease on life.

The new community based hall, known now as a Community and Tourist Information Centre has had the installation of gallery space to ‘splinter contemporary artists’ and other community or visiting artists, which will also provide a permanent home to Isobel Harvie’s, ‘A Stitch Back in Time’ Victorian and Edwardian historic clothing collection.

In May of this year the Shire of Campaspe agreed to contribute $24,400 towards the project and agreed to free lease the building to Kyabram Town Hall Inc. on a one year trial, which enabled work to commence on the renovations mid September. Other Kyabram community groups and businesses also made financial or in-kind contributions.

Kyabram Town Hall Inc. Chair, Vicki Neele said, “The generous donation of ‘A Stitch Back in Time’ to the Town of Kyabram,

by Isobel and Keith Harvie in March 2013, was made on the condition that a permanent home could be found for the collection, it was then that the suggestion came that the vacant Kyabram Town Hall would be an ideal location.

“The major key to the success of the renovation however, has been the work of a team of skilled, dedicated volunteers that has ensured that the renovations progressed quickly, proficiently and achieved a totally professional outcome.

“We have received fantastic support from the community and individuals and we are always looking to extend the Information Centre volunteer base or receive expressions of interest for use of the spaces available in the hall.”

By David Lee A PECULIAR case of missing Kialla man, John Anderson, is causing alarm across the region, after the 63 year old was last seen leaving the premises of Caltex service station on McLennan Street in Mooroopna at 6:25am Monday morning.

The alarm was raised after customers attended the Caltex service station to find it unexpectedly closed.

As part of his regular routine, John frequents a nearby newsagency to pick up the day’s newspapers each morning, but it appears he never made it.

John is described as being caucasian, 180cm tall and a medium build with short grey hair. And was last seen wearing jeans, a navy blue fleece top with the ‘Caltex’ insignia and was wearing glasses.

Detective Senior Constable Troy Wickham of Shepparton Police said, “The search on Monday turned up nothing and we are very concerned with John’s welfare.

“There have been no sightings and we are keen to speak with anyone who may have seen him, no matter how insignificant the information may seem.

“There are no indications that he has met with foul play at this point however we are investigating all avenues.

“John’s family last saw him Monday morning and have not heard from him since, which is very much out of character.

“There is some CCTV footage of him crossing McLennan Street in a southerly direction towards Archer Street. We believe there were numerous vehicles travelling along McLennan Street at 6:20am on Monday and we believe someone would have seen John crossing the road or seen him in the area and we’d like to reach out to those people to please get into contact with us.”

If you have any information on the whereabouts of John Anderson, phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

SEARCH ON FOR MISSING MAN… Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of missing Kialla man, John Anderson (pictured), who was last seen at his place of employment, the Caltex service station in Mooroopna.
