Down to the wire Barr and Sheed head to head for election win

By David Lee AFTER holding the seat of Shepparton for 47 years, The Nationals might see the end of their reign, with the tally votes between The Nationals Candidate for Shepparton, Greg Barr and Independent Candidate for Shepparton, Suzanna Sheed coming down to the wire.

At the time of publication, the tally for the ‘two candidate preferred vote’ stood at 17,916 versus 20,137 and a mere 5.84

INDEPENDENT VS THE NATIONALS… Independent Candidate for Shepparton, Suzanna Sheed (left) may very well cause one of the biggest election upsets in decades, with tally votes currently seeing Sheed 5.84 percent in front of The Nationals Candidate for Shepparton, Greg Barr (right). Photos: Supplied.

percent between the two, with Sheed in the lead, but it is expected that the final vote count will come down to a nail biting finish when results are released in the coming days.

Greg Barr said, “The VEC still has to finalise the count and they will be the ones who ultimately make the final decision. I recognise that it’s looking more and more of a challenge as they finalise the count even though The Nationals are winning the Continued on page 12 primary votes.

By David Lee IT’S been a hairy month at Mercy Place in Shepparton, with three staff and two residents taking up the Movember challenge to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer.

Helping to raise $690 in total for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, the men celebrated the end of the month by shaving off their ‘mo.’

Mercy Place Staff Member, Michael Enis said, “We were all a bit keen to get rid of the ‘mo.’

“It was something Mercy Place wanted to be involved in and it’s all for a good cause.”

Mercy Place Resident, Terry Duffy said, “On the first day we started doing the challenge, I went out and got 15 sponsors.

“I have had breast cancer which was treated many years ago so I know the impor tance of f undraisers like Movember.”

Local resident turned Author

By David Lee LOCAL Kyabram resident, Adem Besim has seen his dreams realised recently, when his first book, My Unforgettable Year, was picked up by Morris Publishing Australia and a date was set for his first book signing.

The book, which started as an idea when 23 year old Adem was only 17, grew into a tale about 17 year old Nathan Thompson and his journey through his final year at secondary college who has big plans to do well in his exams, dreams of winning the Third’s premiership cup and enjoy his final year. His first problem arises when his overbearing father, Mark, expresses his plans for Nathan to be the next AFL player to come out of Kyabram, but a 30 year old secret of his fathers comes out on Nathan’s 18th birthday that could change everything.

Adem said, “The book is young adult fiction that has underlying themes of bullying,

drink driving, love, death and following your dreams.

“I was pretty shocked when Morris Publishing Australia got back to me and asked for the full manuscript.

“From an early age I was passionate about writing. I used to go into bookshops with my father, and enjoyed sitting in on author visits at school. Books have played a big part in my life.

“I have other works that need polishing, but I do have plans to get them published down the track.”

A book signing event will be held at Valley Booksellers in the Maude Street Mall, Shepparton on December 6 from 11am to 12pm. To pick up a copy of the book, visit Valley Booksellers, Morris Publishing Australia, www.smashwords.com, iTunes or Amazon Australia.

Wheels given new home

By David Lee T WELVE pairs of brand new wheels were given a new home last week, when members of the Dookie Men’s Shed handed six brand new Mountain Bikes they had assembled to children at Dookie Campus Secondary College.

The bikes, which were funded by the Dookie Lions Club, South Shepparton Rotary Club and LDK Trailers, will help the students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder, to get out and about and better manage their health and wellbeing.

Dookie Campus Secondary College Teacher, Damien Beasley said, “We approached the Dookie Men’s Shed because we knew they’d get the job done.

“It’s important for the children to be kept active. The more the children can exercise, the better it is for them. It’s all about getting them outside, which helps them to control their condition.”

Dookie Men’s Shed Member, John Sims said, “We were approached to assemble the bikes and we were more than happy to do it.

“Seeing the children’s eyes light up makes it all worth it.”

A glimpse into the life of Dennis Patterson

By David Lee WHILE he settles into his new role, The Adviser sat down with Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dennis Patterson last week to get a glimpse into the life of the new chief of the region.

• Name: Dennis Patterson • Age: 61 • Where were you born and where did you grow up?

I was born at the UNA Hospital here in Shepparton and grew up in a home at 23 Wyndham Street, Shepparton, so I was right in the centre of town.

• Where did you complete your schooling?

I began my schooling life at St Brendan’s Primary School followed by a couple of years at St Coleman’s College (which is now Notre Dame College). After that it was suggested I go to a tech school and so I decided to make the move to Shepparton North Technical College for a couple of years.

After year 10 I flew the coop and took up a refrigeration apprenticeship with Kevin Monahan from Monahan Refrigeration.

From then, I spent a little time travelling. I spent 12 months in the west of Australia before settling in Bendigo for seven years, where I married my wife, Michelle, and had two children, Carmen and Shannon, who now each have two children of their own.

• What have your experiences been with your career?

My father told me when I was young that when you leave school, make sure you go and get a qualification, and that was the best advice I have ever been given.

I did that with Kevin Monahan and although I moved around for a little bit, I always had the option to go back to refrigeration, which I did. I opened my own business when I was in Bendigo, then moved to Shepparton and started The Fridge Shop business in Mooroopna 26 years ago, only closing the doors last week.

• Tell us a little about what you like to do in your spare time.

My main hobbies all revolve around being outdoors such as fishing and hunting. I’m happy to sit on the river now and just

look at the birds and to sit along the swamp at sunrise and just watch it all happen before me.

You see so much more just sitting and watching and it helps you to really appreciate nature.

• Everybody loves a good meal, but what is your favourite thing to eat?

I love food. I’ve had a lot of magnificent dishes, but I really do love my camp oven leg of lamb. I think that it is as good as it gets. I am also fond of fresh fish; home cooked and self caught.

• In all the places you’ve visited around the world, where has your favourite destination been?

We have some private property out at Cairn Curran and I enjoy being out there. I’m not a Gold Coast person at all.

Merimbula I love and we go up to Yalura fishing as often as we can. I do have a fond spot for the outback and would love to spend more time out there. I have been to Europe and other places around the world, but I want to see a lot more of Australia.

• What do you think Shepparton’s biggest asset is?

Shepparton’s biggest asset is definitely its people. We are really lucky as far as the diverse cultures we have in the area.

They all bring a bit of culture to the region and give us a great opportunity to put Shepparton on the map as a great multicultural city.

• The age old question; Holden or Ford?

I’m not really a car person. I like a reliable car that starts, gets me to where I need to go and when I get there it doesn’t have a flat tyre.

• Football flows through the veins of almost every ‘Aussie,’ who do you back?

I used to play football, very poorly. I started at Lemnos then went out to Tallygaroopna and Merrigum, then Kangaroo Flat. But when it comes to AFL it has to be mighty Geelong.

• If you had a message to the people of Shepparton, what would it be?

We are in for a terrific future. We’ve been through some really hard times, mainly with the drought, the dollar being high

and losing a lot of our water but large agricultural firms are starting to reinvest again, the dollar is coming down, the water situation is settling down and there are exciting times ahead. We’ve been through the worst of everything, but there is so much that Shepparton has going for it.

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.

PETROL PRICES A CONCERN Dear Editor, It is interesting that, leading up to the election, I was not aware of one candidate that has made petrol prices a matter of concern.

Perhaps they all walk, or ride bikes, or have sponsored fuel accounts.

Just last week it was necessary to, once more, drive to Melbourne, where petrol is being sold as much as 25c per litre cheaper than here in Shepparton.

Can someone please explain to me, and other weary drivers, why we are being victimised with this major disparity in prices.

If there is a logical and legal reason, why is no one talking? You can expire waiting for an explanation from the oil companies, and the local garages and service stations just churn out the usual “The prices are set by Head Office nothing to do with us.”

We seem to sit and take it because, well, we have to because no-one can explain why we should not subsidise our city counterparts.

Yours sincerely, M.D. Mason, Shepparton A HEARTFELT THANK YOU Dear Editor, Hear tfelt than ks to Sheppar ton for supporting the Heart Foundation Big Heart Appeal.

Thank you to the big-hearted people of Shepparton for your generous support of the Heart Foundation Big Heart Appeal and especially to the wonderful volunteer doorknock collectors who so generously gave their time.

As Australia’s leading heart health charity, the majority of our funding comes from kind individuals, so we’re deeply appreciative of the support given to us by so many Australians this September.

Every donation to the Big Heart Appeal helps in the fight against heart disease, which is the number one cause of death in Australia. Sadly in the space of just 30 days, more than 1,600 families will lose a loved one to heart disease.

The generous response we have received from local communities in Shepparton has helped us raise over $620,000 of our $700,000 target in Victoria. These donations will save lives and make world-class research possible.

If one of our big-hearted volunteer collectors missed you during September, you can still show how big your heart is by donating online at www.bigheartappeal.org.au or by calling 1800 55 22 55.

Thank you for making a difference in the fight against heart disease by supporting our Big Heart Appeal.

Yours sincerely, Diana Heggie Chief Executive Officer Heart Foundation Victoria PUBLIC HOUSING DISCRACE Dear Editor, Firstly let me congratulate you on having the courage to print letters to your paper that may not align with the views of yourself or the paper you work for. It is difficult these days to receive an unbiased view in our media.

I am proud to say I am Australian and believe the ANZAC spirit of caring for our ‘mates’ is what sets us apart from other countries. All Australians call each other their mate because we are part of the one great country.

I challenge who ever is elected, our council and our community to tackle the disgusting lack of public housing in our community. The general waiting list is 10 years, yes, 10 years.

The priority waiting list (i.e. if your disabled) is two years and at any one time, four families (that includes parents and children) are living in tents in bush land between Shepparton and Mooroopna.

Yours sincerely, Michael Curtis, Tatura WHERE IS OUR FREEDOM OF CHOICE? Dear Editor, It’s amazing how many people have contacted me regarding my letter on The Nationals, Peter Ryan, who enforced the people of Victoria to

install smart meters in their homes. Leader of The Nationals and self professed man of the people who he tells us he represents, Peter Ryan.

The man who said when the Barmah National Park was implemented three years ago, would change it back to allow cattle back in, along with timber cutters once again to thin and clear the forest of fire material, and then when he was elected, ‘turned coated’ on the people who believed him and had his party elected.

Well just this week the New South Wales Government have decided to introduce smart meters to the community.

The big difference in being in New South Wales, is that the people in New South Wales have the choice of a smart meter or current meter. Obviously in New South Wales ‘freedom of choice’ is alive and kicking.

Not so under Peter Ryan’s ‘Nationals.’ Their policies are no different to John Brumby’s dictatorial government’s method, off its ‘do as I say,’ not that you have the choice. Obviously Mr Ryan has forgotten that Australian values were created by freedom of choice.

That’s what our ANZACS and people went to war for to protect our freedom.

Well guess what folks; my wife and I planned to go live on the south coast of New South Wales early next year five years ago.

A good decision I believe, given some things in life are still optional and free in New South Wales.

Oh and by the way, the Barmah Forest is a dangerous mess according to local people. The Nationals had the chance with local peoples’ help to do something and chose to do nothing about it.

So lets now blame The Nationals and Peter Ryan for the possible inferno.

Yours sincerely, Max Schier Want to have your say?

Vote to help schools save water

FUNDING PLEA… Kialla Central Primary School (pictured) and Currawa Primary School are hoping that the community get online and vote for the schools to be awarded funding as part of the Philmac Project.

SCHOOLS in Kialla and Dookie are hoping to stay in the running for grants that will go toward improving the schools’ facilities, save water and reduce environmental impacts, with an online decision making, voting poll now open.

Funding for the improvements is being sought through the Philmac Project, a funding initiative designed to support the roll-out of water projects for community groups, including schools and sports associations in regional Australia.

Kialla Central Primary School is looking to renovate the school grounds, turning them from a ‘paddock’ covered with a patchy mix of weeds and grasses, into a decent surface sown with drought-resistant, hard-wearing grass that will be safer and more enjoyable for students to play on.

Currawa Primary School, based at Dookie College, wants to upgrade the watering system for its vegetable garden, buying a more efficient pump and installing a rainwater tank to capture water from the pump shed’s roof. The project will reduce energy use and reliance on river water, and provide a platform to educate students about managing natural resources as part of the school’s strong focus on science.

Philmac General Manager, Marketing and Development, Jason Mitchell said, “We know it can be difficult for community groups to source funding even for small projects these days, and sometimes all they need is a little bit of cash to get them started.

“So we set up the Philmac Project as a way of giving something back, and as an expression of our ongoing commitment to rural Australia and keeping communities connected.

“Ultimately, the funding will be allocated to projects that make a genuine difference to their local community, and have the potential to reduce water use, improve water quality or benefit the environment in some way,” Mr Mitchell said.

Submissions that attract the most votes via the dedicated website, before voting closes on December 12, will go onto a short-list for final judging by a special panel.

To vote, go to www.philmacproject.com.au. Click on ‘Entries’, and then click on the project you wish to support. Entries and voting closes at midnight on Friday, December 12.

TOO CLOSE TO CALL… Election results are sitting close with the ‘two candidate preferred vote’ standing at 17,916 (Greg Barr) versus 20,137 (Suzanna Sheed). Image: Supplied.

Down to the wire “IT was always going to be close. We always had that view. It’s not really a surprise to me, especially given the massive amount of advertising that we were up against. But I must say that if it is determined The Nationals don’t win the seat and Suzanna Sheed does, I wish her all the best in her new role.

“If elected, seeking funding for the redevelopment of GV Health will be on top of my list. The stage one refurbishment that The Nationals committed to was to build a new emergency department and operating theatres which is vital for a health service such as ours that services a major portion of this part of Victoria.

“Suzanna has experience in certain fields that will assist her and if she is elected we will look back in four years and see how she went. It’s a tough job and demands long hours, no personal time and complete commitment, but I wish her well.

“I’d like to thank all the volunteers that assisted with my campaign, especially Jeanette Powell for her support and for all those people in the community who had faith in me and voted for me.”

Sheed’s campaign slogan “Stand up it’s our turn,” seems to have stirred the hearts and the votes of our region, in what is looking to be the closest election and possibly the biggest upset in decades. Sheed previously told The Adviser that “This election, we have a chance to make history,” and it is very possible that she will.

Sheed said, “It’s a rather anxious wait however by all accounts the results are looking positive with the majority of the votes now counted. We set out to win the seat and were hopeful that it could be achieved.

“To have faced a notional 25.5 percent

required swing was a huge task from the outset.

“The fact that it is so close means that we have already achieved one of our goals - that is challenging the ‘very safe seat’ title.

“Should I be successful and elected as the member for the District of Shepparton, my first priority will be to secure funding for the GV Health redevelopment.

“Regardless of who is in government, the hospital has done their due diligence, they have their strategic plan and know what they need immediately and what they need are more emergency department beds and more surgeries.

They are very close to being ‘shovel ready.’

“The commitment from the Coalition Government of $75M was a good start however it is still along way off the $200M that is needed for these initial stages.

“Secondly I want to revisit the priorities for regional rail and move Shepparton further along the priorities list. We have been missing out on the level of train service this community deserves for way too long.

“It is time we were able to join the commuter belt and were provided the opportunity to arrive in Melbourne in under two hours. The technology is available; V/Line has done their strategic planning work for our line, now it’s time to action it.

“These advancements will benefit the whole Goulburn Valley not just Shepparton.

“Tackling these issues will create significant economic activity in the Goulburn Valley, they will create jobs, they will also enable career pathways for our young people.”

See next week’s edition of The Adviser for full coverage of election results and for the announcement of our new Member for Shepparton.

Help celebrate people with disability today PUBLIC AWARENESS… Pictured, Billabong Garden Complex Supported Employee, Ben Devening enjoying the celebrations of International Day of People with Disability. Photo: Madeleine Caccianiga.

TODAY will see celebrations ring out for those in our community with a disability as part of International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD).

IDPwD is a United Nations’ sanctioned day that aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with a disability and celebrate the achievements and contributions of people with disability.

As one of the local organisations who will be helping to celebrate the day, ConnectGV already plays an important role for those in our community who have a disability by offering day options, employment options, residential options, respite services and outreach services.

Supported employment options are available for people with a disability at ConnectGV’s Business Enterprises, Billabong Garden Complex, Billabong Sweets & Treats, Flower Power flower deliveries and the Mooroopna Primary School Canteen.

ConnectGV CEO, Bruce Giovanetti said that it is important for the community to recognise that this day is celebrated internationally as an opportunity for recognition of achievements.

“ConnectGV’s mission is about seeing ability as opposed to disability each and every day, IDPwD marks a day when we can showcase it.

“Employment within these businesses enables supported employees to contribute to their local community and also increases public awareness of ‘ability.’ People are able to purchase quality products and know that they are supporting options for people with a disability to do valued work and contribute to the community.

“Employees are supported to participate in training and develop skills enabling them to work across the various business enterprises.”

Billabong Garden Complex Nursery Manager, Tracy Lamont said, “It is great to see the achievements of our supported employees, they love what they do, are good at it and love the fact that what they grow is enjoyed by the general public.”

Get SuperStream-ready THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is reminding all large and medium-sized employers that the window for preparing for SuperStream is closing fast.

All employers with 20 or more employees need to comply with SuperStream by June 30 next year, but ATO’s National Program Manager, Data Standards & E-Commerce (SuperStream), Philip Hind is warning employers not to leave it too late.

“Don’t wait until the end of the financial year to get ready.

“We recommend employers start using SuperStream one to two payment cycles before the deadline to allow them to become comfortable using the new standard before it becomes compulsory.

“For employers who pay quarterly, there are only two payment dates before June 30, so we strongly urge these employers to ensure they have a SuperStream solution in

place as soon as possible.”

“Early signs of SuperStream success include more automated processing of contributions all the way to member accounts and faster reconciliation and allocation of money.

“E mployers a re repor t i ng a more streamlined super experience, once they get over the initial hump of preparing for SuperStream.”

“Employers can expect that payment processing costs will be reduced by remov i ng cheque s a nd u n ne c e s s a r y variation in payment methods between funds,” Mr Hind said.

Any employer who has not yet started to prepare for SuperStream should act now. The ATO has provided a step-bystep checklist to help employers prepare, at www.ato.gov.au/SuperStreamChecklist.

Soft and cuddly donation

By David Lee A SOFT and cuddly donation of 43 rugs as well as other knitted garments was made to GV Health’s Oncology Ward last week, after 18 residents of Kensington Gardens spent months putting the package together.

Kensi ng ton G a rdens Resident a nd Donation Organiser, Lorraine Rivett has been organizing the donation of rugs and other items to the Oncology Ward for three years saying the reason they donate the rugs, jumpers, hats and other knitted items is because they have all been touched by cancer in some way.

“Quite a few of us have families who had cancer, so it was close to our hearts.

“We are all very happy to have been able to do something like this.

“About 80 balls of wool were donated by a store in Wangaratta, which really helped each of us out.

“We also raffled off a rug and helped to raise 90 dollars, which came about when I met Paulette Brain on a cruise in August this year.

“We got talking and she decided to crochet a rug and suggested we raffle it.

“She also made another rug, which was donated to the Oncology Ward.

“After only meeting on the cruise, it was so nice for her to do this for us.”

GV H EA LT H will soon see asbestos removed from the premises, after the announcement last week it would be receiving nearly $609,000 of funding from the Victorian Coalition Government.

The funding, which is part of the fourth round of the Rural Capital Support Fund that has seen another 37 health services share in $20M in grants, will help to remove friable asbestos backed sheet vinyl throughout GV Health’s various buildings.

Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell said since coming to office, the Victorian Coalition Government has funded 167 projects through the fund.

“At GV Health we have funded four projec ts totalling more than $1.8M including the health service’s new primary care precinct, clinical governance unit,

elective admissions and electro diagnostic unit and its allied health and ambulatory care refurbishment.

“I am also extremely proud to be part of a government that has committed $75M towards stage one of the GV Health redevelopment,” Ms Lovell said.

The Nationals Candidate for Shepparton, Greg Barr said the Victorian Coalition Government is delivering $56M over four years to the Rural Capital Support Fund that provides grants to improve rural and regional health facilities.

“The grants help hospitals, aged care facilities, women’s health, children’s health and community health services upgrade facilities, implement new models of care and increase service capacity and efficiency,” Mr Barr said.

Road works in the Shepparton and Benalla areas AREAS around Greater Shepparton and Benalla are set to undergo road surface improvements in the coming months, with works set to continue through to after next year.

The works will see worn sections of arterial roads repaired to help extend their lifespan and make them smoother and more durable, and motorists are advised that from time to time there may be minor traffic delays through the work sites and to factor in an additional five to ten minutes for their journey.

Areas affected will include Katamatite-Shepparton Road near Tallygaroopna, Shepparton Alternative Route near Shepparton, Midland Highway near Tatura, Goulburn Valley Freeway, Wahring and the Hume Freeway near Benalla.

Page 16 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1227 Wednesday, December 3, 2014

A VicRoads Spokesperson said, “These types of works are best suited to the warmer and drier weather conditions generally experienced between now and the early part of next year.

“Depending on the condition of the road, the works may involve a range of improvement treatments including; longer term road rehabilitation works where the road is dug up and rebuilt, resealing works to make the road more waterproof and minor pothole repairs.

“Due to the nature of the works, some sections of the road may remain under speed restrictions because of loose stones, even though crews may not be present.

“VicRoads thanks motorists for their patience and reminds drivers to obey the temporary conditions in place for their own safety and the safety of workers.”

Unique skills training program for Metricon Staff in Shepparton A GROUP of 20 site managers from Metricon in Shepparton were the latest to graduate from a specially tailored skills program through RMIT University at The Carrington, on November 26.

In a first for Victoria’s construction industry, the Metricon Building Certification Program was developed in conjunction with RMIT’s School of Vocational Engineering after Metricon approached the University looking for specialised training and education pathways for its staff.

T h e C e r t i f i c at e I V B u i ld i n g a nd Construction program aims to increase technical, interpersonal and construction management skills in order to assist site managers in their diverse and changing role as both a client and tradesperson liaison.

CEO at Metricon, Mario Biasin says the program is an example of how industry and higher education can work together to tap into the education and training needs of the construction industry.

“Wit h a n i ncreasi ng ly compet it ive Shepparton home building market, it is important that our service throughout the sales, build and warranty exceeds customer expectations.

“The aim of this course is to standardise an approach to the way Metricon build homes with a focus on best practice, quality and safety and provide building staff with an opportunity to complete a nationally recog n ised certification,” Mr Biasin said.

Delivered through a series of workshops, online sessions and site work, the program’s assessment is heavily focused on current site work, while incorporating Metricon processes and job requirements.

EDUCATED PATHWAYS… A number of Site Managers from Metricon in Shepparton recently graduated from a specially tailored skills program through RMIT University.

Metricon Representatives including a number of graduates pictured from left, David King, Tania Tonks, Matilda Gordon, Simon Gibson, Anna Galluzzo, Tom Blair, Kylie Jones, Melanie Duncan, Rohan Dealy, Warren Cartwright, Teraze Davies, Brent Opie, Merril Hotchkin, Shane Bensch, Michelle Santavec and Brad Cunningham. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

“The Metricon RMIT Building Certification program is a ground-breaking course that sets a new standard for building certification nationally. This course has been specifically designed utilising innovative approaches and it takes our site managers’ knowledge to a new level,” Mr Biasin said.

By harnessing the resources at RMIT and the Master Builders Association simulation centre, the training also ensures that all existing and potential managers are certified and trained at a uniform level where they will be eligible to

apply for a Registered Builders Licence.

Head of the S chool of Vocational Engineering, Peter Ryan believes that the partnership between RMIT and Metricon is a benchmark for the industry.

“This program will attract, develop and retain the most competent and committed building professionals in the market,” Mr Ryan said.

“It is R M IT and Metricon’s shared ownership of the deliverables and outcomes that has contributed to the program’s success

so far.”

“Empowering our people means providing the best training and tools in the industry; giving opportunities to grow, be challenged, and simply love where you work,” Mr Biasin said.

Mr Biasin thanked RMIT, The Victorian Employers’ Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VECCI), the Master Builders Association and the partners and friends of the Shepparton Metricon graduates for their support.

GOTAFE will launch a new advertising concept over the coming months as it begins its major enrolment campaign for 2015.

The brand positioning message, ‘I Am’ focuses on the inbuilt human desire to work in a career that satisfies their self and defines them, in a good way.

GOTAFE CEO, Paul Culpan said this campaign is intended to appeal to potential students on an aspirational level.

“The ‘I Am’ statement gives a feeling of

passion, pride and ownership to a student’s education and pathway to their education goals.

“The concept is designed to be emotive, energetic and most importantly aspirational, we want to demonstrate that our current students are working towards their dream careers, whether it be as ‘a carer,’ ‘a creator,’ or ‘an artist’ and studying with GOTAFE can make that dream a reality.

“GOTAFE’s strength is the breadth of courses and industry sectors available and because of this we can play a big part in making their career and learning aspirations a possibility, whatever they may be.

“The advertising features GOTAFE students within their potential or future working environment, ‘a carer’ checking in on a patient,

‘an environmentalist’ working in the great outdoors or ‘an entrepreneur’ sharing their secrets with a captivated audience.

“Our television commercials capitalise on this further, by capturing our students’ unique statements about their training that embodies not only their potential career but how they feel about their chosen vocations.

“We hope that this campaign not only reinforces G OTA F E’s streng ths as a quality provider of education in our region and beyond, but also enhances the local community’s engagement with GOTAFE by featuring local students in real life situations in the advertisements.

Light project to save nearly $1M BENALLA has seen the beginning of the replacement of street lights to energy efficient models that will help to save nearly $1M in energy costs over the next 20 years.

More than 12,600 street lights across Benalla, Campaspe, Greater Sheppa r ton , M a nsf ield , Moi ra , M itchel l , Murrindindi, Strathbogie and Wangaratta are being changed to energy efficient alternatives as part of the federally funded Watts Working Better project.

The project will cost $4.4M across the nine participating councils and save an estimated $15.6M over the next 20 years.

Benalla Rural City Council will be changing over 786 old mercury vapour lights to more efficient T5 fluorescent lights as a part of the project.

Benalla City Council Mayor, Cr Justine King said, “All councils involved in the project will collectively reduce greenhouse emissions by 93,100 tonnes over 20 years which is the same as taking 21,000 cars off our roads.”

The project is coordinated by the Goulburn Broken Greenhouse Alliance who received $2.95M of funding from the Australian Government towards the ‘Watts Working

afternoon to avoid evaporation by the hot sun in the middle of the day,” adds Muscat.

According to Muscat, from a design perspective, grass is like a gorgeous green carpet for your outdoor space, but it has many more benefits than mere aesthetic appeal.

“A natural lawn has great social and environmental benefits. It filters air and water, acting as a natural form of pollution control. Turf also reduces carbon dioxide, which keeps your propert y cooler in summer and allows the family to get active outdoors,” says Muscat.

A nt hony ’s top f ive t ip s for l aw n maintenance during the warmer months include:

Tip 1... Weed it

Weeding your lawn now will mean fewer ‘bindies’ come summer. Dig out small problem areas by hand. If your lawn features large patches of weeds, a simple “weed and / or feed” spray program may be appropriate to get it back into shape. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying any sort of spray treatments to ensure the best results.

Tip 2... Feed it

Turf is incredibly durable, so a light fertiliser is all you need to make your lawn luscious and green. When applying any sort of fertiliser, be it liquid or granular, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the best results. If you are unsure on when or how to use fertiliser on your lawn, consult your local turf grower for advice.

To apply, spread evenly across the lawn and follow up with a light water.

Tip 3... Let it breathe

L aw ns c a n b e h ig h-t ra f f ic a reas during summer with active kids and pets running around. This can cause the soil to become compacted in high traffic areas, preventing it from receiving nutrients, oxygen and water. To help solve the problem, you need to aerate your lawn. Simply pierce the soil at 10cm intervals with a pitch fork. A wellaerated lawn will also soak up more water when it’s raining, meaning you can water less.

Tip 4... Give it a haircut

Mowing your lawn regularly will help to ensure it remains healthy. Don’t set the mower blades too low, a good guide is 4 to 5cm mower height. If you’re left with white thatch, it means you’ve scalped the grass which is detrimental to its growing.

Also, avoid mowing your lawn after heavy rain. If your lawn is water-logged you risk tearing it up with a mower.

Tip 5... Water it

Your grass should be watered early in the morning or evening when there is less sun to ensure it absorbs as much water as possible and helps minimise evaporation.

Pay attention to lawn colour it may indicate your grass is lacking water.

Yellow grass can indicate an absence of nutrients and dehydration.

home living Summer provides perfect time to sell

SUMMER SELLINGâ&#x20AC;Ś There are a number of factors that should be considered when selling a home in summer to increase your chances of a good sale. Photo: Supplied.

SUMMER is proving to be the perfect time to consider selling your home and current market conditions combining low interest rates with affordable prices, mean that now is a great time to get the ball rolling.

Summer is a time when buyer numbers plateau, particularly during the holiday period and although selling a home in summer can be tricky for some, it holds many rewards for others, but it all comes down to getting the details right.

Setting the price at a realistic level where both the buyer and seller feel comfortable is perhaps the most important aspect to clenching the deal and it is essential home sellers price their property correctly as well as choose the most appropriate sale method and marketing the property appropriately.

One of the biggest dilemmas summer sellers face is whether to go

to auction or sell their house through private treaty. In making this decision, there are a number of factors that should be considered such as location, style of property, level of demand and timing of the sale.

Pretty gardens, spectacular views and a well-presented home will only go so far, especially in a market where buyers would rather be relaxing with a cool drink instead of house-hunting in the heat.

A discussion should be had regarding the options available with a real estate agent, who will help determine which method of sale best suits your individual circumstances and the likely degree of demand for the type of property youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be offering the marketplace and you will find selling your property in summer an easy and rewarding experience.

Be diligent when it comes to pool safety DROWNING is the single largest cause of death of children up to four years old. In an effort to combat these statistics locally, Greater Shepparton City Council (GSCC) is asking for all residents to check their swimming pool and spa fencing and gates in preparation for summer.

GSCC is keen to ensure that action is taken to prevent any tragedies and will offer assistance and information to residents to facilitate the installation of appropriate child safety barriers.

The installation of child-proof barriers around swimming pools and spas is compulsory under State Government legislation and for any new pools or spas you must get a building permit before constructing the fence around the pool or spa.

It is the pool and spa owners’ and occupiers’ responsibility to ensure that all safety barriers are properly installed and adequately maintained.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director of Sustainable Development, Johann Rajaratnam said, “Now that it is getting warmer, we all want to be outside using

our pools and spas and enjoying the lovely weather. As such, we need to ensure all fences and gates are operational and up to code.

“So we are asking for owners of pools and spas to be diligent and check that their fences and gates are all in good working order this weekend.”

Here are some tips when checking safety barriers remember: • Pool fences, fences, gates, doors and windows that form the barrier must be fitted and operating correctly • Ensure the barrier area is maintained and landscaped so that children can’t climb objects to gain access to the swimming pool or spa • Consider inspecting adjoining properties to ensure there are no potential hazards or objects that may allow young children access to the swimming pool or spa.

Never prop open any gate providing access to the swimming pool or spa.

For more information on child safety around pools visit www.kidsafevic.com.au or contact Greater Shepparton City Council on 5832 9700.

Barbeque safety a must WITH the warmer weather here, it’s time to dust off the barbeque, scrub the tongs and wash the apron all in preparation for a big season of summer sizzling. But before firing up the barbeque for the first time, it’s important to take a few safety precautions to ensure it’s ready and safe to use, experts warn.

Managing Director of Australian appliance company, Black & Stone, Graham Brake said, “Each summer season we see incidents in relation to gas barbeques that are easily preventable with a few quick and easy safety measures.

“Many Australians don’t realise that barbeques are an appliance, much like your oven, that needs love and care all year round, and shouldn’t be left standing unprotected to the elements.”

One simple measure that is easy to use and a cost effective solution to avoid barbeque mishaps is the Black & Stone Gas Safety Gauge. Designed here in Australia, this clever allin-one safety device screws onto the gas cylinder, automatically shutting off the gas should a major leak occur.

“Under normal conditions, the gas flows through uninterrupted. However, in the event of a major leak, the Black & Stone Gas Safety Gauge senses a sudden change in the rate of flow and automatically shuts the gas off,” said Mr Brake.

Through a simple checking procedure, the Gas Safety Gauge can also be used to assist in detecting leaks long before they occur.

Priced at $34.95, look for the Gas Safety Gauge at Barbeques Galore and Harvey Norman.

Residents prove fitness is for life THE residents of Shepparton Gardens rental retirement village have put a real bounce in their stride after daily exercise classes were introduced to the village at the beginning of November.

Responding to several studies that show how regular exercise significantly increases brain cognition and mental health, reduces the impacts of chronic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes and heart disease and reduces the incidences of falls in adults aged over 65, the village has taken positive action to improve their residents’ health and wellbeing.

The program builds on Department of Health’s recommendations for adults aged over 65 to do at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most, if not all days.

Shepparton Gardens Village Manager, Paul MacFarlane and his wife Michelle, who each contribute to the program, said it has been a real success so far.

“In the three weeks since we started the program, our numbers have increased from two or three residents per day to more than 10

residents per day,” Mr MacFarlane said.

“The class guides the residents through a range of stretches and movements, including leg lifts, upper-body exercises and work with dumbbells – each aimed at improving their

mobility, respiration, and overall health and wellbeing.

“As well as improving our residents’ health, the classes have forged new friendships among some of our residents.”

By David Lee LOCAL rising star, Caleb Marchbank is taking his football career to the next level, after being drafted as a defender for the GWS Giants 2015 season.

Marchbank, 17, spent most of his 2013 season with Murray Bushrangers on the sidelines due to injury, but it was his performance for Vic Country in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships that saw him named in the All-Australian side.

Marchbank said, “It’s such an amazing feeling.

“I’ve grown up my whole life dreaming of playing in the AFL and now it has happened.”

GWS Giants General Manager Football, Graeme Allan said the club was delighted to secure some of the finest young talent in Australia.

“This caps off a very productive off-

season for t he ‘Gia nts. We secu red experienced players during the Trade Period in Ryan Griffen and Joel Patfull and now we have complemented that with an exciting mix of young players in the draft.”

GWS Giants Chief Executive, David Matthews welcomed the new draftees to the club and wished them every success for their careers.

“These young men have realised their ambition to be drafted by an AFL club. The ‘Giants will now do everything we can to support, develop and help them take the next step and achieve their dream to play AFL football.”

Alongside Marchbank, 18 year old Jarrod Pickett from South Fremantle/Jandakot JFC in Western Australia, was drafted as a small forward/midfielder and 18 year old Paul Ahern from the Calder Cannons/Keilor was drafted as a midfelder.

Locals pay tribute to Phillip Hughes MEMBERS of the Under 16s Shepparton Youth Club United Cricket Club paid tribute to fallen cricket star, Phillip Hughes at the weekend, by observing a minute’s silence and sporting black armbands in memory of the cricketer.

23 year old Hughes, who passed away last week after being felled by a bouncer from Sean Abbott during a Sheffield Shield Match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday last week, was the 408th Test Cricketer to play for Australia and was just scratching the surface of a promising career.

One of Shepparton’s biggest basketball tournaments

By David Lee THE Shepparton Show Me 39th Annual Junior Tournament is on again from December 5 to 7, with a 173 basketball teams converging on Shepparton to take part in one of the Greater Shepparton Basketball Association’s (GSBA) biggest tournaments yet.

GSBA Manager, Tony Long said, “Teams will compete in all age groups from Under 12s to Under 18s in both boys and girls. Using 16 courts across some eight venues throughout the Greater Shepparton City and Campaspe,

this is an event that brings some $1.2M dollars into the town and provides some fantastic opportunities for competitive sport for our junior athletes.

“The teams coming from Port Fairy, Warrnambool, Horsham, Hamilton, Maffra, Traralgon, Bendigo, Wodonga, Swan Hill, Mildura and many others with each carrying up to 10 participants and families it stands to be a huge weekend in Shepparton.

“Spectators are free at all venues so get on down and witness some great contests between

some of the best athletes in the state at their age groups.

“On Sunday our own Rhianna Barton is going to take the Shave for a Cure and cut off her long beautiful locks for the cancer cause.

This is a great initiative instigated by Rhianna so get behind her and come along to see her at 3pm in the multi purpose room of the stadium on Sunday.”
