Multi-million dollar Village Cinema upgrade development stalled

By David Lee A PLANNED $5M re-development of Shepparton’s Village Cinema complex has come to a halt, after owners of the complex began having trouble securing the extra

internal space required for the upgrade.

The re-development, which if approved would be completed over a three month period from the beginning of next year, includes making the venue fully licenced

and able to serve alcohol, the installation of VMax, reclining seats, upgraded food options, replacement of the carpets and installation of new toilets.

Campaign to draw interest and investment to region GREATER Shepparton City Council together with Shepparton Show Me celebrated the official launch of the Greater Shepparton ...

Great Things Happen Here campaign last night, which aims to attract private and government investment, visitors and new residents to the Greater Shepparton area.

Underpinning the campaign is sharing of local success stories to inspire new businesses and residents to move here and attract visitors to play, stay and spend money in Greater

Shepparton. The stories create “food for thought” in showcasing the possibilities of what could be. It communicates Greater Shepparton’s strengths and points of difference as a draw card or driving force.

Key to the campaign is a series of commercials showcasing these strengths including the breadth of our small and large businesses, our range of services, our agricultural and horticultural capability and vibrant lifestyle that Greater Shepparton

offers.

Sixty Minutes journalist, Charles Wooley has been secured as the campaign ambassador to showcase our products and services to the world. As an investigative journalist, Charles is the quintessential Aussie storyteller. His voice is distinctive, authoritative and engaging and his rustic image also lends itself to being representative of regional and rural Australia.

The sixty second hero commercial will be launched on the big screen on July 26,

together with a preview of vignettes of local businesses and the Greater Shepparton …

Great Things Happen Here website.

The campaign will commence being rolled out state-wide and nationally in August.

Search for birth father leads to Shepparton FAMILY is perhaps one of the most important things in all our lives, but imagine not getting the chance to know your birth father. This has been the life lived by Jennifer Allison, who is currently on the case in search of her birth father, who she believes may have been from the Shepparton area.

Given the name of Nicole Cassidy at birth, 46 year old Jennifer was born in November, 1969 at the Royal Women’s Hospital and at just three days old was given up for adoption, meaning she never had the chance to meet her birth father.

Jennifer said, “My birth mother appears to have let another man believe he was the father and had him pay for her to go to Melbourne months prior to having me. DNA results have since proven that he isn’t in fact my birth father and so I began my search.

“My birth mother’s name is Brenda Lynette Cassidy and she lived in Shepparton with her parents and worked as a typist at the time of falling pregnant with me. She was aged 20 when I was born. Her married name is Brenda Rice and she was residing in Murchison last I knew. I met her 24 years ago but have not seen her since.

“I would assume that someone might recall my mother during the summer of 1968/69 and may have been friends with her or even dating her.

I have a strong feeling that he doesn’t know I even exist. I am hoping that someone just might know something and may even be prepared to have their DNA tested to find out.

“There is a strong presence of Irish heritage according to recent DNA

testing, 44 percent in fact, so there is a change my birth father may be of Irish background.

“I feel like a jigsaw puzzle with a missing piece and my birth father is the missing piece.

“I would like to find him to discover my heritage and also any important medical information. I have Crohn’s Disease, which is supposed to be hereditary. I would like to know about him and his family.

“I have six children and this information is important to us all. I believe that my jigsaw would be complete if I could track him don and it would be amazing to invite his family to be a part of mine.”

IF YOU CARE, VOTE? Dear Editor, The Greens vote has fallen again and they have lost seats in the senate. Their very apt “if you care, vote” slogan has thankfully fallen on deaf ears.

To The Greens, if you cared you’d determine better scientific proof of your doom and gloom environmental theories, particularly when scientists have released in this week’s ‘The Australian’ evidence that the Antarctic Peninsula, regarded as a “global warming hot spot,” has been cooling for almost 20 years, not in fact heating as you’ve suggested.

If you cared you’d rethink you’re stance on a further 50,000 Islamic refugees intake into Australia. 50,000 refugees who want to introduce Sharia Law in Australia. 50,000 refugees from more than seven countries who still enact the death penalty for homosexuals. 50,000 refugees who believe and practice daily the extreme oppression of women. 50,000 refugees who are not interested in our way of life, but in changing it to their way of life.

If you cared, you’d be more interested in preserving our great country, our freedoms, our prosperity and our lifestyle.

Where do The Greens really fit in the political spectrum? If you care about Australia ... nowhere!

Yours sincerely, Steven Threlfall, Shepparton

WILL THE ROAD BE MADE SAFER FOR ALL? Dear Editor, I refer to the letter from Terence Ashdown in The Adviser on the July 13, 2016 titled “Is The

Road To Blame.”

I live on The Boulevard and I often watch the traffic rounding the bend especially when I hear the squealing of tyres in the wet and watch a vehicle going sideways out of control. I have often gone over to see if the driver is ok and waited for a tow truck to arrive when the end result is an accident.

The road surface is angled on a steep slope as you round the bend, and soil from the dirt road leading down to the river is blown or washed over the road surface, making it very slippery and dangerous.

In my original letter, I also wrote that council had sent its staff down and they have agreed that the road surface needs re-surfacing as it’s worn smooth, and that they have also put up new traffic signs lowering the recommended speed limits.

Yes, in this case the road surface is largely to blame, and I agree that there are other reasons for the “near misses” like the irresponsible drivers, many of them “P” plate drivers that speed and put their vehicle sideways rounding the bend.

I have spoken to the police about this and was told that there are speed camera cars positioned along The Boulevard and that they also have unmarked police vehicles on that section of road and random breath test vehicles there at times.

Hopefully council will install a pedestrian refuge strip on the corner as I see many elderly people trying to dodge the speeding vehicles that cut the corner.

Only time will tell if council will keep their word and actually make the road safer for all.

Yours sincerely, Stephen Templeman, Shepparton

Embrace the joy of hearing OUR ability to hear is truly amazing but as with most of our senses, we only begin to appreciate just how precious it is when it begins to deteriorate.

Shepparton Audioclinic audiologist, Sue Brown said, “Under normal circumstances most of us shouldn’t expect to notice any deterioration in our hearing until we’re in our fifties. At this stage of life though, around 50 percent of us may find it harder to hear high-pitched sounds and have trouble following a conversation in a noisy environment.

“The best way to measure the degree, of hearing loss, if any, is to simply have your hearing checked at our relocated clinic in Shepparton.”

Life is great when you experience the joys of hearing well and that’s what Shepparton Audioclinic aims to do for you.

A better way of life MOST people downsize because they don’t want the bother and cost of maintaining a family home. Lifestyle Shepparton is different to many downsizing options and affords savings across a broad spectrum.

Lifestyle Shepparton sales manager, Mitch Kennedy said, “Homes at Lifestyle Communities are typically priced at around 75 to 80 percent of the median house price in the suburb in which they are located. You also save money because there is no stamp duty.”

With no annual council rates to pay, discounts on electricity through Lifestyle Communities and reduced insurance costs as a result of living in a gated community, Mitch said, “The cost of daily living is greatly reduced.”

Multi-million dollar Village Cinema upgrade development stalled continued from front page VILLAGE Cinemas CEO, Kirk Edwards said, “We have attempted to secure extra internal space, but we are having trouble reaching an agreement with other tenants who utilise and access the toilets.

“It would be in everyone’s best interest to upgrade. It would help to bring some life back in to Shepparton’s CBD.

“We know it has to be done. It’s tired and not in keeping with the rest of the Village Cinemas. We’d very much like to do the job, but our hands are tied at the moment.

“Cinemas are in our blood and have been for over 60 years. We understand that we have to renovate our cinemas on a regular basis to ensure they are of the quality requested by the community and it is also important to keep up-to-date with the latest innovations.

“We have 23 locations across Victoria and Shepparton has had a regular cinema for a long time and we would like to address that and give the community a space they can be proud of and enjoy.

“If we could get approval, we would have workers on-site from early next year.”

Will the CBD be the showcase of Shepparton ever again?

PAU LI N E and Phillip have, over the years, seen the CBDs prosperity decline, and much like many others are calling for something to be done to bring it in line with what is required by the community today.

Pauline and Phillip said, “The mall was fabulous as it was 20 to 30 years ago, but it doesn’t work as it is now. It needs to be re-opened to slow moving traffic.

“When they created the mall, it had a buzzy atmosphere and was prosperous, but Shepparton was a different place back then

and it was in-line with what the community wanted at that time. It’s not a case of simply trying to utilise it, it really needs to change.

“The council have spent money on Vaughan Street and Victoria Park Lake, which both look fantastic and are now heavily utilised. Opening the mall would revitalise the CBD much like in the way the lake and Vaughan Street were.

“Shop owners have been talking about this issue for over 20 years and over the last 10 years there has been a massive change in the mall.

“The mall is supposed to be a showcase of Shepparton.

“You have to grow with what the business owners, landlords and community as

a collective want, and over recent years, they have expressed they want the mall re-opened to slow moving traffic.”

Dying mall needs to be fixed From the desk of the Editor COU N T LESS meetings, surveys and reports over a number of years have shown that Shepparton’s Maude Street Mall needs to change.

It has reached a critical stage where action is required immediately.

A combination of poor parking planning in the CBD over many years, poor traffic flow in Fryers Street, changes in shopping habits, the demand for low cost or no cost parking - as can be experienced at our large shopping centres - and our leaders turning a blind eye to the mall woes, all add up to being forced to act on fixing our mall and CBD, and quickly.

Ask the general public if they like the mall and the answer is likely to be yes.

Then ask the question if they use the mall and the answer is likely to be no.

Ask the traders and landlords for their opinion and the answer is likely to be “open up the mall.”

What’s the price to pay on a dead CBD in a major regional city as Shepparton? $1M, $4M - which has been mentioned?

These might seem like big sums, however are a pittance compared to the effects of a dead CBD. We have a dead heart that requires resuscitating. A merica - where the suburban shopping plaza was invented – is littered with regional cities, whose CBDs have been allowed to die. We cannot allow this scenario to play out in Shepparton.

The great thing is that something very positive can be done to the mall and the Shepparton CBD. It can be turned around. Look at what other regional cities have done.

The mall could be the best of both worlds. If opened to slow moving traffic and parking, it would not only be a success for both shoppers and businesses and all concerned, it could also be closed for special festivals and events. Electronic bollards could be used to open and close the mall for such events.

Let’s all work together for the common good of revitalising our once vibrant and highly successful city. Let’s get the heart of Shepparton pumping again.

A real Mini enthusiast

By David Lee JOHN Truman from the Goulburn Valley Motor Vehicles Drivers Club has always had a passion for Minis, and in 2011 he came across the latest addition to his collection, a 2000 Mini Cooper Sport SE ‘S Works.’

The Mini Cooper, which was very near one of the last Minis ever produced, was imported from England and was modified by John Cooper Garages to boost the horse power from 63 to 90.

Boasting a 1275cc engine, 4-speed gearbox, sports pack alloy wheels with Dunlop SP Sport 3000 175/50R 13 tyres, the Mini Cooper has been finished with Tahiti blue paint, a platinum silver roof and bonnet stripes.

John said, “There are only two of these vehicles in Shepparton and the other one, which is green, is owned by my brother.

“The production of the Mini in Australia was ceased in 1978 and in 2000 in England.

“I’ve had Minis since I was very young. I started in 1963 when I used to race in hill climbs and sprints.

“I own over 100 models of Minis including one that looks just like my current Mini Cooper as well as a model of the very first Mini made In 1959.

“My Mini has also won a range of awards and prizes including second place for the Best Original at the 2004 Mini’s at the Mill and first place for the Best Imported Mini Post 1985.”

Adviser Shepparton Runners Club August handicap THE Shepparton Runners Club (SRC) will be hosting their August 10km handicap run on Sunday, August 7, 2016 at Princess Park Oval in Shepparton at 8am.

SRC president, Nadine Edwards said “As a handicapped race, everyone is given a different start time. This means that all the participants should cross the line within a small timeframe and you don’t have to be the fastest to win.

“There will be prizes on the day, as well as a barbeque breakfast after the run.

“Entry is free for members, $7 for non members and all are welcome!

Participants are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for their handicap to be set prior to the race beginning.

By David Lee MORE than 4,000 spectators are set to ascend on the region on July 31, to watch the eighth round of the Motul MX Nationals.

The event will be held at the Goulburn Valley Junior Motorcycle Club and is the second consecutive year being held at Mooroopna.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem shared his excitement in the MX Nationals returning to the region, and the reasoning behind the council’s decision to continue to support the event.

“The event continues Greater Shepparton’s reputation as a key sporting event destination in regional Australia, and brings much needed economic stimulation to the region in a traditionally quiet July period.

“The partnership with the MX Nationals continues Greater Shepparton’s history of being a strong motoring region and it’s something we are proud of.

“T he local G oulburn Valley Junior Motorcycle Club does a marvellous job hosting major events in our region and need to be congratulated on their ability to host such a high calibre national event.

“With competitors from all around Australia, we look forward to hosting a wonderful event experience.”

MX Nationals Series promoter, Kevin Williams shared his appreciation of the support from the Greater Shepparton City Council.

“The Shepparton region is obviously a very strong area for motorcycling, and after last year’s event, and looking at the venue geographically it is very well placed for us to return once again.

“Last year, we had a fantastic crowd at Mooroopna, and it’s quite clear that there are a number of motorcycle riders, and fans within the area so Greater Shepparton is a great fit for us.

“T here is also plent y of great infrastructure such as accommodation, restaurants etc. in the Greater Shepparton region, so we’re looking forward to visiting for the second consecutive year late this month.

“The council at Shepparton has put a lot of support into bringing national and international events into the region, and we are delighted to have them as a partner of the championship and to have their support of the MX Nationals.”

with Matthew Chilcott

THE Murray Bushrangers have moved to third spot on the TAC CUP ladder, following a masterful wet weather display that saw them beat the Western Jets 108 to 8 on the weekend.

With the inclusion of on-field generals, Ryan Garthwaite (Corowa-Rutherglen), Isaac Wallace (Wodonga) and Harry Boyd (Shepparton), the Bushrangers’ looked ominous early with a devastating five goal to none in opening quarters.

In a further sign of maturity, the Bushrangers’ continued their relentless approach finishing the first half with nine goals on the board.

The backline was superbly led by Harry Boyd who organised his troops throughout the day, Zach Sproule (Albury) absorbed the challenge of a new role in defence with energy and skill, whilst young Wodonga raider running machine, Will Donaghey played his best of the year as a rebounding defender. Donaghey picked up numerous possessions, ran hard to space and rarely fumbled the ball in slippery conditions. Ryan Garthwaite who has returned to the side from a broken scapular was impenetrable across the half-back line winning numerous one-on-ones before sliding forward to kick a goal.

The work of the midfield pleased the coaches with Strathmerton’s, Louis Pinnuck strong at the contest whilst providing plenty of run through the midfield. In-form midfielder, James Cousins continued his amazing season whilst the exciting Daulton Langlands (North Albury) provided great drive through the midfield and across half forward line.

Albury’s, Jake Page who has been developing across the half-back line in recent weeks moved back to the wing and won plenty of the ball using it effectively on his left foot.

Up forward it was the mercurial, Todd Marshall (Deniliquin) providing plenty of spark with two first quarter goals, before pushing up to half-forward where his ball handling defied the slippery conditions.

Albury’s, Lachlan Tiziani again hit the scoreboard kicking three goals and setting up a number of others, but it was his forward pressure that was a real highlight for the coaching staff.

The Murray Bushrangers will take on fourth placed Sandringham Dragons at Rams Arena in Craigieburn this Saturday, July 30 in what will be a crucial game in securing the top fourth place at the end of the season.
