Ford Road upgrade concern

THE commencement of a study into the possible upgrade of Ford Road to become a major arterial bypass for large vehicles has evoked major concern from North Shepparton families and homeowners in the area including popular local wedding venue, Hurlstone Gardens.

The proposed upgrade would occur along Wanganui Road and Ford Road from the proposed river crossing to Grahamvale road to create an East-West Route linking the future Bypass route to the Shepparton Alternate Route.

Shepparton, home of Australia’s largest outdoor Indigenous art gallery ACCORDING to one of our region’s best known local artists, Shepparton presents a myriad of artistic possibilities, which could set us apart from other regional centres and

make Shepparton a showpiece for indigenous art.

Shepparton Street Artist, Tank has created a series of Photoshop concepts outlining

Batting over the rainbow for Zaidee

By David Lee CRICKET Australia has once again shown multi-coloured support for Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation, donning their cricket bats with rainbow grips for the Big Bash League and Women’s Big Bash League Zaidee’s Round of cricket.

Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation CEO and Zaidee’s dad, Allan Turner said, “Over the past few years we have had Zaidee’s rainbow cricket rounds, which help to share the message on the importance of organ and tissue donation.

“We are so grateful for the support of the Australian Cricket Association cricket players both men and women.

“This kind of support helps to get the conversation happening around the importance of organ and tissue donation and to have the level of support we have from the most elite sporting athletes when representing Australia, is a great message for us as a foundation.”

As well as the Big Bash League games, another important match will be drawing attention to the importance of organ and tissue donation, when Australia takes on England on January 14 for another special Zaidee’s Round.

Little Cara takes on the world SH E PPA RTON loca ls , Norma n a nd Ly ne t t e S i m s a re e sp e c i a l ly proud g ra ndp a re nt s at t he mom e nt a f t er their granddaughter, Cara recently won the regional round of a global robotics tournament, which will now see her travel to Estonia to represent Australia in the First Lego League World Championships.

W hat m a ke s t h is fe at even more remarkable is that Cara is only in grade 3.

Norman said, “We’ve only got two grandchildren and they’re both very special to us. But we’re certainly very proud and

we’re happy to share our joy with people in the area who might know her.”

Norman ad m it ted that he’d never heard of Robotics before Cara won this competition.

Norman said, “I watched a documentary on Legos and Robotics after Cara’s win and it’s a huge industry.

“Naturally grandparents are a little bit biased, but she’s very talented.”

Cara will travel as a part of a robotics team made up of six students aged between nine and 16 to represent in the World

Championships in June 2018.

With Norman and Lynette celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary next month and Cara seting off on her Worlds’ adventure, it’s going to be an exciting year for the Sims family.

TOO MANY LIVES LOST… Police plead for drivers to make better decisions when driving in an effort to reduce road related fatalities in 2018.

Photo: Nicholise Garner.

Drive to the conditions THE Transport Accident Commission has released figures outlining a 12.8 percent drop in road related fatalities from 2016 to 2017, however with the number of deaths still equating to 253, this is still too many lives lost on Victorian roads.

Of the total lives lost in 2017, Goulburn and Murray Valley residents attributed to staggering 31 out of the count and Greater Shepparton alone contributed to 8. That’s just too many, too close to home according to Shepparton Police Leading Senior Constable, Glenn Gibson.

“31 lives lost across North-East Victoria, including 8 lives in Greater Shepparton in 2017 is 31 too many. This does not include the road trauma and on-going suffering of those injured in road collisions.

“Police are frustrated by the causes of many of these road collisions, and we’re motivated to do everything we can in 2018 to reduce the damage road trauma inflicts on our community. The fact remains if you make poor choices

on our roads YOU could perish and you could impact the life of many others in the process.

“A lot has been said about the condition of rural roads, however we all must adjust our driving to the conditions presented to us; the road conditions and the weather conditions. The sign posted speed is the maximum speed, however conditions may require a reduced speed to ensure you arrive at your destination safely.

“We can all reduce the risks every time we get behind the wheel. Be well rested. Have no alcohol or drugs in our system. Ensure our vehicle is roadworthy. Turn off all our devices. Be relaxed and focused on the roads. Drive to the conditions.

“Accompany the young drivers in your life to the next Cool Heads Young Driver program scheduled for the 28th March, 2018.”

The price we pay for using the road shouldn’t be death or serious injury.

New Learning Place support for schools THE Department of Education and Training services in Shepparton will start the new school year in 2018 with a newly established corporate office at 178-180 High Street, Shepparton.

A Department Spokesperson said, “The new office for our local school support staff will replace the existing Shepparton office on Welsford Street – bringing together and boosting local support staff available to help principals and teachers in the Shepparton area and deliver students a great education.

“This is part of the Victorian Governments $82.2 million Learning Places regional operating model initiative, which is rolling out additional regionally based support staff across Victoria to provide operational support and advice so that schools can focus on their students.”

The new Learning Places office will accommodate approximately 50 staff members and will see the creation of local multi-disciplinary teams dedicated to supporting schools and improving student outcomes.

These teams will work with students, families, schools and service providers on a number of fronts to help share best practice techniques, monitor school performance and provide guidance and direction on how to improve as well as support schools with operational and administration responsibilities, such as OH&S and maintenance.

The Learning Place services will also help to strengthen links between early childhood services, schools, VET courses and adult education opportunities and strengthen links between schools and community organisations, parents and businesses alike.

New Year message from the Mayor Happy New Year to all Greater Shepparton residents! I trust you enjoyed your Christmas celebrations and have entered 2018 with renewed energy and enthusiasm for the year ahead.

I am looking forward to this year and what we can do to make our great municipality even greater. We have our ‘ask of government’ leading into the 2018 state election with a priority to obtain funding for key projects including increased rail services, an education plan, revitalisation of the CBD, redevelopment of the Maude Street Mall, and a new Shepparton Sports Stadium, to name a few.

We will also start the construction of the new SAM building, a very exciting project for Shepparton.

I look forward to supporting the community in 2018 and on behalf of my fellow councillors I would like to encourage you to attend council meetings, meet with your councillors and keep informed via our website and social media.

OPINION

Letters to the Editor KNOCKBACK FOR THE CBD

Dear Editor, It is extremely disappointing for the hapless Greater Shepparton ratepayers to hear that the free timed parking trial idea for the central business district has been rejected. With a stroke of the pen, the council officers cited financial impact and a lack of evidence to squash this proposal by hundreds of consumers responding to Council public consultation over more than a year now.

It would seem that only Councillors Adem and Sutton have been seriously perusing and listening to the many submissions, suggestions and consultations

relating to this long-winded saga.

The suggestion that costly pay and go technology be introduced will further inconvenience many shoppers who don’t have the IT savvy to use a card (if they in fact have one). How is it that our sister cities in the North East do not rely on this income stream?

T he t h reat by t he ow ners of t he unhygienic, underutilised multi-deck park eyesore to seek damages for loss of income if the trial did proceed is incredible. A business which should have provided the CBD businesses with paid parking bays, thus alleviating the alleged use of street parking bays, surely should have been on

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. the agenda.

How much of the business income has been put back into making the car park accessible and user friendly over the past twenty years since it was sold off by Council. Once a public council asset, clean and maintained, it is now a disgrace in the central business district.

For the ratepayer it is a no win situation, and so the saga proceeds.

Yours sincerely, Patricia Moran Shepparton

FREEING UP SPACES Dear Editor, The problems of the Mall seem to be ongoing with no particularly good method of resolving them. In a recent letter there was a point made that we could do with another multilevel car park. A point worth considering, however, use of the multilevel car park above Target seems not to attract as much patronage as desired.

The reasons for this appear that it isn’t as clean as it could be and also access is not as convenient as it could be with access down Stewart Street. If Fraser and Stewart streets were connected through the Mall, slow moving traffic from Wyndham Street could flow through to the car park. Making access better would increase the use of this facility.

The proposal by some that timed car park spaces be extended to three hours could also be worth considering.

Another thought comes to mind after reading contributions in local papers is that there needs to be parking available for CBD workers. If there was a large car park for workers away from the CBD a bus service going from the CBD to the workers car park could be commenced.

This particular service would need to run from about the time of work ceasing for up to about an hour and similar hours prior to commencing work. This would free up parking spaces for customers. Some businesses would still need to park near their CBD business at times.

Just a few thoughts to be considered.

Yours sincerely, Rodney Champness Mooroopna

RIP SHEPPARTON CBD Dear Editor, The Shepparton City Council is doing a fine and outstanding job of killing off

Page 8 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1387 Wednesday, January 10, 2018

the CBD/Mall by completely disregarding the wishes of the greater percentage of ratepayers by continually sitting on their hands and doing nothing. All because of the all mighty Dollar. Can anyone out there please inform me as to how towns similar in size to Shepparton (Mildura, Yarrawonga, Benalla, Albury/Wodonga, Coffs Harbour to name but a few) with rates the same as ours all have thriving CBD’s with few vacant shops and free timed CBD parking?

We the ratepayers of Shepparton voted in all Councillors to act on our behalf, not to act as dictators and do as they personally wish. What a joke in banning free timed CBD parking by coming up with the brilliant suggestion of making parking meters more user friendly! Is this going to solve the problem along with 75 free all day parking in the Maude/Edwards Street car park? come on folks I think not.

I p er s on a l ly ch a l le nge t he s e ve n Councillors who voted against the free parking trial to come with me on a fact finding mission and talk to Mall/CBD traders/shoppers and ask the question “What needs to be done to revitalise the CBD? Then visit the Marketplace and Plaza complexes and ask a similar question “Why do you shop here?’

So come on Councillors accept the challenge, out of the comfy leather council chair and visit the ‘Coal Face ‘ if you dare?

Discover first hand what the ratepayers who voted you into office are thinking.

I personally spent 54 Hours in the Maude St Mall during December taking Santa photos for Shepparton Show Me, the Mall is dead/dying. With our photos the same quality as others and priced very competitively from $5, what I took in 18 Days, both opposition Santa photo businesses took more than that in a single day.

One does not have to be a Rhode Scholar to figure out why?

Councillor’s accept the challenge or take the easy way out with no comment and continue to “Sit on your hands and do nothing?”

RIP… Shepparton CBD. Yours sincerely, Robert Dodds Shepparton Want to have your say?

Protecting the community from Queensland Fruit Fly The regional Queensland Fruit Fly (QFF) trapping program has detected a significant upsurge in fruit f ly numbers during December and indications are that this increase will continue through January.

A coordinated approach to fruit f ly management has resulted in the deployment of several field officers across the Goulburn Murray Valley to assess and help manage hot spots as they occur.

Goulburn Murray Valley Regional QFF Coordinator Ross Abberfield said that under laboratory conditions, a breeding female can lay up to 2000 eggs. “Offspring can potentially breed another generation in less than a month with suitable host fruit and ideal weather conditions, resulting in rapid population increases.

“The appointment of field officers allows for a considerable bolstering of existing resources and is an important step in protecting the region from fruit fly through area wide management,” he said.

I n order to prevent our townships becoming breeding grounds for QFF, anyone who grows fruit trees and vegetables

should inspect and correctly dispose of contaminated fruit and vegetables before the larvae turn into breeding adults.

Home gardeners are asked to apply a range of control methods such as the use of exclusion netting or fruit bagging, traps and insecticide or bait spray where it is considered appropriate.

The free Urban Fruit Tree Removal Program has been extended until the end of February and provides an opportunity for property owners in residential areas to have unwanted fruit trees removed free of charge. For more information about the program or control measures go to www. gmv-qldfruitfly.com.au

TRAFFIC GETS GREEN LIGHT… Welsford Street has taken shape over the Christmas/New Year period with traffic lights at the Welsford and Nixon streets intersection now operational.

The traffic light installation is the final stage of what has been a three part upgrade of Welsford Street between Nixon Street to Knight Street.

The upgrade which was completed by Mawsons Constructions Pty has seen the highly utilised stretch of road transformed to improve flow and control of traffic as well as improved drainage and pavement infrastructure. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

Do you cringe when you think about the cost of dental work?

DO you ever hide your smile because you feel embarrassed about your teeth? Have you ever had a dental quote that shocked you and stopped you from having the work done?

The “Overseas Dental Implants” owner, Stuart Bronson had these exact same feelings you have and after wearing dentures for 20 plus years (after a major car accident where he lost most of his teeth) he decided to get a quote for implants and was shocked when told it would cost upwards of $80,000.

Stuart said, “There’s no way I could afford that kind of money, but I couldn’t go on living with the pain and discomfort from the dentures, so in an effort to solve this problem I researched and sourced the best overseas dental implant technicians, who were using the most modern technologies, for the best investment possible.

“I discovered a top notch clinic and flew there to get my implants done. They used exactly the same implants, materials and equipment as Australia, which was very comforting, considering the biased stories on TV about going overseas.

“The end result was a great holiday, return airfares, 5 star hotel and all the guaranteed dental work done for just under $14,000,

The following week the children will have the opportunity to create ‘Sand Art.’ As an image, a wristband or sand art in a bottle, they’ll love their creations and really enjoy the process.

“In the third week, we’ll be helping kids to prepare for their return to school by making ‘Return to school crafts’ with bookmarks and name tags for school bags.”

Take the kids to enjoy some free activities at Riverside Plaza each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11am to 2pm over the next three weeks. Kids under five haven’t been forgotten about, enjoy a coffee while the kids use the soft fall play area or the outdoor play space next to Degani’s (Open daily).

Ready to take on a

new school year

By Nicholise Garner I LOVE seeing how excited my kids are to get into their school uniforms at the start of the year, especially as they go into prep.

This year we’ve got six kids at primary school from prep to grade six, and they’re growing at a rate of knots, so a whole heap of new school uniforms to arrange.

I’ve visited The School Uniform Shop each and every year to get the latest uniform updates and with or without my kids by my side, proprietors Helen and Geoff Bray have been able to work out the best sizes for the kids. They’ve also been happy for me to put my purchases on lay-by, which means I’ve been able to reserve the sizes my kids need and pay for them once I’ve recovered financially after Christmas.

With 20 years of k nowledge and experience getting the region’s children fit with uniforms, The School Uniform Shop keeps up-to-date with the latest changes in

uniforms. Geoff said, “We really are your one-stop-school-uniform-shop. We cater to everything from socks, shirts, jumpers, skirts and dresses, right through to hats, bags and accessories.

“It’s important to make sure you get in early to get your uniforms sorted.

Smaller and larger sizes will come under pressure during the week leading up to the start of the school year, so to avoid disappointment, come in today.”

For all your school uniform needs, call into The School Uniform Shop at 183 Corio Street, Shepparton or phone 5821 3232.

GMW optimistic for healthy year ahead GOULBURN-MURRAY Water has entered the New Year on a high note, with water storages averaging a healthy 80 percent and Victoria’s highest capacity dam – Dartmouth – just under 90 percent full.

GMW Managing Director, Pat Lennon said, “These figures bode very well for water security over summer and, indeed, throughout 2018.

“You only have to go back a short time when GMW and its customers would start off the calendar year with some trepidation on how water availability would hold up during the warmer months, when demand typically reaches its peak.

“For example in 2015, our storages were less than half full at 47 percent which placed added pressure on our operating region, which covers about a third of Victoria and manages 70 percent of its stored water,” Mr Lennon said.

“Of course we’re mindful that the most recent ‘top up’ of our storages came at a cost for many, with record rainfall in the opening days of December causing damage across the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District and in the north-east.

“However, the water harvesting we were able to take advantage of on behalf of our customers during this period was the true silver lining from these storm clouds.”

Mr Lennon said the future challenges of water availability, climate change and the unknowns of an increasingly global market for many customers, make partnering with the communities of northern Victoria and actively contributing to regional development more important than ever.

“For more than a year we’ve worked with our customers, stakeholders and communities on our Strategic Plan, which provides clarity on how GMW not only remains sustainable over the next 5, 10 and 25 years, but more than meets the expectations of all.”

Ford Road upgrade concern VICROADS has been exploring options since 2012 and has sighted the Ford Road/Wanganui Road strip as the “best” option. Under the proposal, the East-West Route (Wanganui/ Ford roads) would be upgraded to create a significant “major arterial route” suitable for accommodating vehicles including large road trucks.

Homeowners have created a united front under the banner ‘Ford Road Action Group’ and are determined to fight the proposal.

Action group member, Helen Sleep said, “Firstly, we are not against a second river crossing, however bypass roads are planned around residential areas not through them.

“The proposal to make Wanganui and Ford roads the major East-West route around the city will create significant issues including safety, noise, traffic congestion and pollution to the residential areas in north Shepparton.

“We need a long term, safe, purpose built road which will benefit the Greater Shepparton area, the local community and truck drivers. Ford Road is a quick fix solution, which will cause untold anguish to homeowners and local residents.”

The group says it is simply unsafe, stating that the road has already been attributed to multiple fatality intersections.

Helen continued, “In 2015 Ford Road was gazetted as a B-Double road by Greater Shepparton City Council without study or consultation and now they plan on increasing this traffic by building a “major arterial road” despite the fact that this route impacts three established and two planned housing estates as well as Rumbalara Aged Care Facility, daily traffic to six schools in close proximity and established designated Council Cyclist routes used by 8 groups 3 times a week. Not to mention that these plans will in turn decrease the housing value of properties in the vicinity by a quoted 30 percent with

OPPOSITION FOR THE BYPASS IS STRONG… Pictured, Helen Sleep, spokesperson for the Ford Road Action Group surrounded by other members and residents concerned by the proposed East-West bypass.

8 metres planned to be stripped from landowners.

We’d question how any home owner would feel if they were told they were to lose 8 metres off the front of their property.

All of this is without even mentioning the atmospheric or noise level pollution, which would be created from increased trucks and diesel engine exhausts.

“We’re not saying that a bypass route is not needed. What we are saying is that a purpose built truck route is what is needed and that Ford Road is not the road. The East-West link could be established to the north of Ford Road utilising undeveloped land with connections at the GV Highway. This

alternative location for the link would alleviate a number of issues including existing traffic problems associated with already large volumes of local, school, agricultural and freight traffic along Ford and Verney roads.”

The current study has been created to explore all potential constraints associated with upgrading Ford Road and to come up with a functional design that will meet the purpose of the upgrade. The real question is will the design and purpose meet the needs of North Shepparton families and will they even have a say in the matter?

MYRIAD OF POSSIBILITIES… Pictured, Photoshop concepts created by Tank the Artist of an Indigenous community street art project vision for Shepparton’s CBD precinct. Photos: Supplied.

Artistic vision continued from front page

Tank said, “The Multideck Carpark and surrounding buildings lend themselves so well to artistic interpretation. It would be a great spot to have an outdoor gallery of sorts for street art.

“Cou ncil have al ready sta r ted an Aboriginal Street Art Program recognising indigenous people throughout history. This would be different in the sense that any local indigenous artist who wants to have a go could and this would encourage new up and coming artists to get involved.

“I’m very supportive of the Aboriginal Street Art Project initiative and I believe this would add to it and add to the culture of the region. With a project like this we could potentially establish the biggest indigenous street art gallery in Australia.

“Obviously there would be permissions and advisory processes needed, but I’d like Shepparton to reach a point where street art is a showcase of the area.

“Shepparton needs to have it’s own flavour and because of our large indigenous population it’s poignant that we have one of the biggest collections of indigenous street art.”

Tanks passion and enthusiasm for the region and it’s potential is certainly genuine, now he’s calling on the community to contribute to the idea and be open to supporting the project.

“We just really need for the community, business and building owners to get on board and support the idea, the possibilities are enormous.”

Greater Shepparton City Council is a big supporter of Aboriginal art in the region with place manager, Tim Russell saying council are keen to see Shepparton’s CBD involved in artistic projects.

Tim said, “Greater Shepparton City Council has introduced the Aboriginal Street Art Project which aims to celebrate the local Aboriginal history and culture within the region. We are currently implementing stage 2 comprising the mural that will pay tribute to two females and also the mural commemorating local Aboriginal people who have fought in war.

The female mural is a partnership between Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-Operative, Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation and Council. The war mural is a partnership between Rumbalara Aboriginal C o - O p erat ive , Yor t a Yor t a Nat ion

Aboriginal Corporation, Council and Shepparton RSL. “We are in discussions at this time in relation to stage 3 of the Street Art Project.

One of the aims of the project is to connect the future SAM with the CBD. “In regards to street art work outside of these projects, Council is really keen to see art work occur within the CBD. Should local artists reach an agreement with private property owners and the proposed site is suited to Council’s planning requirements we would be happy to support it.”

PAUL and Wendy Reilly of Orrvale just love the outdoor lifestyle, they have travelled much of Australia camping out so when they decided to visit Canada the outdoor lifestyle was the way to go.

Flying into British Columbia, their first stop was Vancouver. From there they headed to Vancouver Island and onto the remote location of Port Hardy on the North Eastern end of the Island, staying at Telegraph Cove. It was September and the bears were out in force and so were the Salmon, the bears would man the falls and catch the salmon as they swam up stream.

Wendy and Paul decided to go on a Drift Boat so they could see the bears up close and did they ever, so many bears both on the bank and in the water. Back at their camp they stayed on a small island in tents, they were told there were no bears on the island but bears can swim so it pays to be alert.

They used sea Kayaks to explore the area with whale watching high on the agenda.

During one trip they had eight humpbacks around them and saw orca’s as well.

On leaving the area, they took a bus to Nanaimo and hired a car driving to Tofino, Wendy describes the area as Canada’s Byron Bay. From here they explored the national Park and learnt a lot about Canada’s First Nation People.

When traveling back to Victoria on Vancouver Island, they took the opportunity to visit The Butchart Gardens, a massive complex of different gardens established in an old cement quarry. As Wendy says, if you are into gardening then this is a must see and over a million people a year agree with her.

They then took a light plane to Bella Coola, a remote location where they could explore nature up close. They hired a 4X4 vehicle and set off to explore the Provincial Park taking to dirt tracks and making their way up into the mountains. From there they followed a small Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1387 Wednesday, January 10, 2018

walking track to the location of a huge lake, the view was spectacular, but all the time they kept an eye open for any bears in the area.

Wendy says you have to be on guard and take precautions against Grizzly and Black Bears.

They locked their food and cooking utensils in the car so as not to attract the big bears, but they also carried a can of bear deterrent, the spray can which they dubbed ‘Bearoguard’, contains something like pepper spray but you could end up with one hell of a mad bear.

They flew back to Vancouver where they hired a Ford 350 Camper and set off on a two week trip through the Rocky Mountains, first stop was Well’s Gray Provincial Park, the camping was great and there was lots to explore.

They continued onto Jasper where it snowed! The week prior, temperatures had been around 27 degrees, but on this day, it was just 4 degrees and it was cold!

Next, they made their way to Banff and then onto Revel Spoke, where they were close to the USA border. They took on the Crowsnest Highway stretching between British Columbia and Alberta, this took them through some of the most spectacular county they had seen.

This area is dotted with many small towns along the way. They met lots of interesting people and learned more about the history of the area where a lot of Japanese descendants now live, the result of internment camps during the war.

Finally they arrived back in Vancouver just in time to return the camper and head to the airport for the flight home.

Wendy and Paul just loved their time in British Columbia, the people were so friendly and made it so easy to get around. Back home they would like to thank Shirlie From Lyn McNaught Travel in Mooroopna for helping to arrange their trip to Canada’s Great Outdoors.

Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance.

A COMFORTABLE RIDE… Local resident, Bill McNamara was lucky enough to come away the winner of a national competition being run by Calvary Community Care, where the prize was a zippy Viper Scooter. Photos: Alicia Niglia.

Zippy win

By David Lee TWELVE months ago, local resident, Bill McNamara didn’t know that his entry into the Calvary Community Care magazine competition to win a brand new $5,500 Viper Scooter would be drawn as the winner.

What’s even more astounding though, is that Bill was drawn out of over 1,000 entries from across the country.

Bill said, “I have waited 85 years to win a raffle. I enter a lot of competitions because you never know your luck.

“I have thought about buying one and the kids told me I should get one.

“My son said that he was going to come around and give it a test drive.

“I gave my licence away at Christmas time in 2016, so this will give me full independence again.

“I worked in retail for 35 years and have a real interest in it. I used to drive around once a fortnight to see what was new and what had gone and so this will allow me to do that again.

“I am very happy and very grateful for the chance to have entered this competition.”

Fun family entertainment THE Neatline Homes Shepparton Gold Cup this year will continue a tradition of one of the best country cup races in regional Australia.

Running on Saturday, January 13 at the Shepparton Harness Racing Club, the first of nine races will be at 6:30pm and gates will be open from around 4:30pm onwards.

Manager, Ian McDonald said, “Neatline Homes Shepparton Gold Cup has always been a precursor to some of the other major events.

“A host of previous winners have gone on to win a Hunter Cup, Victoria Cup or an Interdominion which suggests that only the very best horses can win a Neatline

Homes Shepparton Gold Cup. There will be plenty of action off the track with a host of free kids entertainment that includes face painting, jumping castles, petting zoo and pony rides.

“Courtesy buses will run from most hotels in Mooroopna or Shepparton, which is an added bonus for those looking for a good time.”

Contact the club on 0488 231 403 or visit www.sheppartonhrc.com.au for more details.

SHEPPARTON parkrun will celebrate t he i r 4 t h B i r t hd ay t h i s S at u rd ay, January 13 with a Superhero/Character themed event, which is sure to bring out the characters in these fun loving ‘parkrunners’.

Shepparton parkrun event director, Allan Connolly said, “We have quite a few dedicated parkrun families involved each week and we thought a character or superhero theme would not only be fun for the kids, but for the adults as well.

“We’re encouraging ‘parkrunners’ to bring their friends and family and come

along dressed as their favourite character or superhero. If you know of someone who hasn’t been in a while, invite them along, we’re planning on enjoying a really fun event and we’re hoping to see around 300 ‘parkrunners’ turn out for the event.”

Presentations for the celebration will start from 7:45am at the barbeque shelter behind the former Shell Service Station at Victoria Park Lake in Shepparton. All are welcome.

Simply register at https://www.parkrun. com.au/register and bring along your barcode to participate.

Locals come together for New Years celebration

COMMUNITY EVENT FOR ALL… Hundreds turned out to enjoy New Year’s celebrations at the Rotary Mooroopna New Year’s Eve Festival again this year. Photos: supplied.

THE Rotary Mooroopna New Year’s Eve Festival was another resounding success this year with organisers saying they believe that this was the 40th anniversary of the events beginning.

Rotary Mooroopna secretary, Pete Kelton said, “We were unsure until we recently established how long Rob Wallace had been doing the electrical work for the event. To be on the safe side we had mentioned that the event had been running for 30 plus years, however 2017 was actually 40 years exactly.”

C elebrations for the events newly discovered 40th anniversary may have been quite, but the event was certainly well patronised.

M r Kelton said, “Santo Varapodio did another great job this year with the procession. There were very good reports from those that watched it move along McL ennan Street to the Mooroopna

to set up the event over two days and then clean-up on New Year’s day was just fantastic. Well done to all involved.

“In terms of community involvement it’s great to see local service clubs attend and Scouts each year. We even had the Mooroopna Football Netball Club involved with the bar this year, the supplies for which were purchased from the Royal Mail Hotel in Mooroopna, making it an event where the locals truly do come together.

“Thanks to the Mooroopna CFA for their assistance with access to the fire track and the CFA judges box.

“Shane Armstrong from Mr Skye Candy, has been handling our fireworks display for some time and this years by all reports were the best yet.

“Thanks to all the local Mooroopna businesses that are perennial sponsors, Greater Shepparton City Council and Graham Thompson Motors.”

“Similarly Barb Joyce produced another entertaining package on stage, culminating with “Smack” to take us to the raffle draw and the fireworks.

“The support within our Rotary Club

Security boost, support for local families

IT is hoped that an announcement made just prior to Christmas will help ensure the safety of Shepparton residents with a statewide rollout of increased Court Security Officers at Victorian courts.

Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp announced that the Shepparton Court alone will see four new Court Security Officers appointed.

Mr Gepp said, “The new Court Security Officers will help to make the court safer by providing escort services for vulnerable people, including those affected by family violence.”

“The presence of Court Security Officers provides a valuable service and delivers on key recommendations from the Royal Commission into Family Violence.”

The new Court Security Officers will undertake entry screening and provide a roving security presence on court sitting days.
