Goulburn Valley products to hit more than 4,500 Chinese outlets

By David Lee ADDITIONAL jobs are on the horizon across the community and at local farms after the SPC struck a deal that will see its Goulburn Valley 700g fruit range, SPC snack cups and a new fruit pouch range stocked in over 4,500 premium retail and mother and baby outlets in China.

The announcement was made last week in partnership with China State Farm Agribusiness Shanghai (CSFA Shanghai) at a formal signing ceremony in Shanghai, with the major milestone demonstrating SPC’s continued momentum and the growing demand in China for Australian produce.

Court precinct offers on-site learning to students H

By David Lee THE Shepparton Law Court Precinct project offered opportunities to students across the region, with ADCO Constructions and Goulburn Murray Local Learning and Employment Network (GMLLEN) working together to provide trade specific structure workplace learning on-site for five VCAL secondary school students during the last year.

Court Services Victoria chief operating officer, Brian Stevenson said, “The new court is a major feature of the Shepparton skyline, and I am pleased that we have been able to provide opportunities for regional students to work on a multi-million dollar development of such significance to the Hume region.”

Mooroopna Secondary College student and program participant, Bradley Collins said, “It meant a lot to work on the biggest construction job in Shepparton and to put my share of work in.

“I felt like I got a lot of experience and I got told a lot of smart advice for me to use in the future. I was put with the concreters so I learnt a lot to do with that sort of work and I really got interested in it.”

Mooroopna Secondary College Year 11 coordinator/VCAL/ careers/VET/workplace coordinator, Ruth O’Bree said, “These types of work placement opportunities are invaluable to the students in the local community. For students to be able to work on a construction site of this size, it gives them further insight into the real world of work related to employment and opportunities in the building and construction industry.”

Alternative arrangements to manage recycling GREATER Shepparton City Council is working with Wheelie Waste to come up with alternative arrangements to manage recyclable material due to the recently announced temporary changed conditions.

Visy recycling has notified Wheelie Waste kerbside collec tion compa ny that it will be temporarily suspending its acceptance of recyclable materials, following recent changes in world export markets.

Greater Sheppa r ton Cit y C ou ncil CEO, Peter Harriott said, “We ask our residents to continue recycling as normal as collection services will remain unchanged.

“Residents have done a fantastic job in separating waste to keep recyclables and green waste out of landfill and we ask them to keep up the good work.

“Council is working closely with the Goulburn Valley Waste and Resource Recovery Group, a body responsible for

waste and resource recovery planning, to identify alternative arrangements for recyclable material processing due to the temporary changed conditions,” Mr Harriott said.

These current pressures are due to changes to the global recycling market, particularly China imposing tighter restrictions on the quality of recyclable materials. These changes are not unique to Victoria and are impacting recycling worldwide. This, combined with an increased focus on stockpiling practices at recycling processing sites, has created unique pressures on the industry.

The Victorian Government is working with local government, other states, the federal government and industry to ensure we are as well-positioned as possible to respond to the changes to the market.

Council will keep the communit y updated on the progress of this matter.

Hundreds gather to open multi-million dollar church re-development THE $1.97M redevelopment at Shepparton Uniting Church (Scot’s Church) on the corner of Fryers and Corio Streets in Shepparton has officially been completed, with close to 500 attending a special grand opening event being held on the weekend to mark the occasion.

Construction on the multi-million dollar development began in April last year and has included a new octagonal worship space with a pyramidal roof. The construction is part of

the re-development with the existing church building now offering a place for gatherings, with hospitality services available and a small chapel is also now available for use. The Shepparton Uniting Church Op Shop is now set to undergo an enlargement and refurbishment later this year Keep an eye out for our special feature on the re-development of Shepparton Uniting Church (Scot’s Church) in next week’s edition of The Adviser.

Many will still not be able to afford radiotherapy WITH government funding to help support radiotherapy in Shepparton, making the services provided by GenesisCare more affordable, residents like 58 year old, Camella Malone might find their treatment easier to handle.

Having a State Government funded service available in Shepparton would mean Camella would save on her 200km round trip every day for five weeks, as she could receive her treatment in Shepparton rather than travelling to Bendigo.

Camella was diagnosed with breast cancer in March last year and underwent an extensive 13-week course of chemotherapy in May 2017. Because of the long course of chemo, Camella took three more months to recover before undergoing a mastectomy in late November.

Since her operation, Camella has been preparing for a challenging course of radiotherapy, which commences this week in Bendigo. Camella will receive one treatment per day, five days a week for five weeks in order to finally defeat her cancer.

As an avid animal lover, Camella is the proud owner of two dogs meaning she has

no choice to travel every day to Bendigo from Shepparton.

In speaking to Camella, she made it clear that she would be unable to afford treatment at a private radiotherapy facility in Shepparton, saying that she would hope to see the State Government provide funding for the planned GenesisCare facility.

Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell has continued her campaign for the Andrews Labor Government to provide funding for the service in Shepparton, taking Camella’s story to State Parliament recently.

“Cancer patients from Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley have travelled for radiotherapy treatment for far too long,” Ms Lovell said.

“The granting of a licence to GenesisCare to build radiotherapy services is wonderful news but there is still work to be done by the Andrews Labor Government to ensure the treatment is affordable to all patients.

“I will continue to advocate for local cancer patients so the State Government provides funding to guarantee any new facility provides affordable radiotherapy to everyone who needs it.”

INDOCTRINATION BY STEALTH Dear Editor, It’s no secret that our education system and many teachers are strongly influenced by dangerous left wing ideology. Coming to your neighbourhood government school are two programs with benevolent sounding titles —Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships, and Safe Schools Coalition.

Don’t be fooled. Scratch the veneer and you will discover that they are cunning exercises in social engineering. Respected Herald Sun columnist, Rita Panahi, nails it when she says the aim of these programs is ‘indoctrination by stealth.’ Education expert, Professor Kevin Donnelly, laments that ‘English as a subject has been captured by the cultural left to impose alliance to neo-Marxist, feminist, gender, gay/ lesbian theories on pupils.’

Respectful Relationships makes many spurious claims. One being that many fairy tales are biased against women, portray them as the weaker sex and that men are conditioned to dominate women. The program preaches that many fairy tales are contributing factors to domestic violence. No supporting evidence.

Just emotive rhetoric.

Safe Schools is being introduced under the guise of an anti-bullying program to combat bullying against students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ). On this basis, do we introduce separate and exclusive anti-bullying programs for obese students, skinny students, tall students, short students, academics, nonacademics? The list goes on. Ros Ward, author of Safe Schools and Marxist, stated at the Safe Schools Coalition Symposium in 2014 that the program ‘was not about bullying. It’s about gender and sex diversity. About same sex attraction. About being transgender. About being lesbian, gay, bisexual, intersex.’

Schools already have effective and inclusive anti-bullying programs in place. Schools also have Codes of Conducts for students, teachers and parents that comprehensively address all forms of bullying.

Ros Ward was photographed physically assaulting a Trump supporter by forcibly removing his hat from his head. Strange behaviour for a committed anti-bullying lobbyist. Sensibly, the Victorian Government sacked this person (gender neutral terminology as advocated by Respectful Relationships and Safe Schools) for claiming that the Australian flag is racist and would not be happy until it was replaced by a red one. Safe Schools also

kinds

preaches that gender is fluid. Tick the box/es: male, female, other.

Safe Schools will not receive federal funding beyond 2017. New South Wales and South Australia have scrapped Safe Schools.

Tasmania has withdrawn funding. The union influenced Andrew’s government has mandated that Safe Schools be compulsory in all government secondary by the end of 2018.

The Victorian Liberal party has vowed to scrap Safe Schools if it wins the 2018 state election in November.

I’m not homophobic. I support same sex marriage. I oppose Respectful Relationships and Safe Schools.

Principals, teachers, school councils and parents with school age children should thoroughly research these programs.

Schools should educate, not indoctrinate.

Yours sincerely, Leo Houlihan Shepparton

WE NEED TO WORK ON MAKING OUR TOWN BETTER Dear Editor, How on earth did Shepparton get to be the number two place to visit? It is one of the shabbiest towns I’ve ever been in. All the closed up shops, rubbish everywhere, drains all blocked up and around the railway, quite an eyesore. I walk around town at night, something I don’t think the councillors do in the daytime, otherwise they may change their mind about parking meters if they actually saw how many shops are closed.

Drains are blocked with fast food containers, water bottles and cans. The gutters are full of rubbish and leaf matter. I walk along Hayes Street, Maude Street and others and in one block I usually pick up three bags of rubbish.

The south end of Maude Street is all broken up. This is a main street in town. There doesn’t seem to be anybody employed to go around on a regular basis to clean the town up except for a street sweeping machine with a very high pitched whine, to annoy people trying to sleep.

There doesn’t seem to be any civic pride. The council should fine people for littering.

There are unmown lawns and nature strips everywhere, plus a lot of graffiti lately and the lack of toilets in the shopping areas is a disgrace.

Yours sincerely, I. Hay Shepparton

GET THE TREATMENT YOU NEED… Providing care to alleviate pain, Finesse Osteopathy principal osteopath, Dr Emila O’Connor. Photo: Alicia Niglia

Relieving pain long term SOME people have a really lovely calming energy about them, which is not something that can be taught, it’s just the way some people are. This is certainly true of Finesse Osteopathy principal osteopath, Dr Emila O’Connor, who is obviously and naturally a warm and gentle soul.

In line with her personality, Emila works to alleviate pain and discomfort for her patients. Emila said, “I love this line of work. I enjoy getting to know people oneon-one, getting to the cause of issues they have and helping to provide them with relief.

Students explore the art of soft

By David Lee STUDENTS at Wanganui Park Secondary College got a taste of ‘Soft Core’ last week, when Melbourne based artist and exhibitor at Shepparton Art Museum’s (SAM) latest exhibition, David Cross engaged the students in his inflatable artwork, ‘Trio.’

The piece, which is unlike any artwork I had ever seen before was developed by David to act as machines of communication, but not in the typical sense. The inflatable red, yellow and blue rectangles allow two participants to pop their heads inside and use an air pump each to keep a small slit inside open, so that they can view each other. If the air deflates, the participants cannot see one another.

David said, “I work with inflatables as an artist but this is the smallest works I’ve worked on. It was all about curiosity and drawing people in because they see others engaging with it and wonder what’s inside.

“It’s a difficult balance for an artist to find something that people want to engage in.

“These are machines for communication.

They are not about talking or about appearance. We often judge people on how they appear or what they say and I like to dispel that.

“They are designed to be a work in the

ENGAGING AND INFLATABLE ART… Students and teachers at Wanganui Park Secondary College had the chance to engage with a unique artwork as part of SAM’s latest exhibition, Soft Core, when Melbourne based artist, David Cross took his inflatable works titled ‘Trio’ to the school.

public sphere, meaning they are an outdoor, performance type artwork. Ultimately it’s hilarious.

“It was great to see the students be so curious and interacting with it.”

Soft Core is a newly commissioned and recent work by 12 Australian and international artists whose work questions the fluctuating meaning of softness and will be on exhibit at SAM until March 18.

Gaming technology to benefit aged care residents MERCY Place Shepparton residents will soon be able to enjoy a ‘virtual forest’ of flowers, trees, wildlife, a river and a bridge at the home. The Virtual Forest™, created

by Alzheimer’s Australia, uses gaming technology to create an immersive sensory experience for those living with dementia.

A responsive sensor lets residents interact with the forest using simple hand gestures, such as a clap or a wave. By doing so, residents can change the season in the forest and bring different animals onto the screen. The simple motions used to control the interactive components of The Virtual Forest™ mean residents can use the technology independently.

M e rc y Pl a c e S h e pp a r to n s e r v i c e manager, Angela Marchant says innovative technologies like The Virtual Forest™ allow residents of all abilities to express themselves in new and interesting ways. “The Virtual Forest™ will act as a calming and enjoyable therapeutic tool for our residents living with dementia, promoting independence

Big boost to region with SPC - China deal continued from front page SPC managing director, Reg Weine said, “China represents a significant business opportunity for SPC in the years ahead, and this is an important step in realising our growth strategy.

“As well as being two of Australia’s most recognised, loved and trusted food brands, the products we are taking to China come straight out of the Goulburn Valley – the renowned food bowl of Australia. We aim to leverage this reputation, as well as our heritage and provenance when launching our brands in China.

“CSFA Shanghai, is part of the CSFA Group Corporation, will be SPC’s master distributor in China. It takes significant time and resources to build brands in overseas markets and CSFA Shanghai has the dedicated personnel, sales and marketing support we need to build our brands on the ground, as well as the distribution capability to reach China’s burgeoning middle class,” Mr Weine said.

SPC general manager manufacturing, Simon Taylor said, “To Chinese consumers, we know that fruit grown and preserved in the clean, green and safe environment of Australia’s Goulburn Valley is very appealing, so we expect our products to be well received when they land on the shelves next month.

“SPC is currently investing capital in a new pouch line, which will also support our China launch. This investment, like any investment SPC makes, delivers downstream benefits including employment to the Goulburn Valley community and on farms across the region, as we may need to source additional product.

“We are cautiously optimistic and taking a long term view on China. As we build our brand in the China market and the demand for our premium packaged fruit grows, it builds a more sustainable SPC for all stakeholders.

“In our 100th year we are thrilled to be able to bring our premium Goulburn Valley and SPC packaged fruit to China.

It is a significant milestone and an important step in realising our growth strategy.

“The China launch of our Goulburn Valley and SPC Fruit brands gives even greater confidence for our growers who supply us with thousands of tonnes of fruit annually - such as the peaches running through our factory as we speak.

“China represents a significant business opportunity for SPC in the years ahead, with its processed fruit market five times that of ours here in Australia and it is the second largest consumer market in the world behind the US. “We wouldn’t contemplate entering the Chinese market without a strong local partner,” Mr Taylor said.

Quinn steps down from role continued from front page

MR Quinn said, “As many people know, I was inspired to get involved with the foundation in 2014 by my mother, Clare who was a great friend of SAM and took much pleasure and pride in the work of the museum. Over the past few years, so much work has happened to make the new SAM a reality.”

With demolition work on the former Shell site having commenced in the past few days, excitement is building for the development stage of the project, with the foundation’s core purpose of fundraising now even more critical to the project’s success.

Mr Quinn said, “I am thrilled that someone of John’s standing in the arts and broader community is stepping up to chair the foundation. John has held a long-term aspiration for a new SAM, and will bring renewed energy and focus to the foundation’s work in raising the private and philanthropic elements of the project financing.”

Megan said, “We bought it from a family that no longer needed it about three years ago. With Shepparton being a flat

area there’s not a lot of effort that goes into riding it.

“These bikes, which are often called box bikes, are actually made in the Netherlands, but there is a woman in Australia that has them imported and sells them.

“We use it just like a car.

“It draws a lot of attention and tends to bring out the fun in other people. We get quite a few people at the traffic lights that will yell out to us ‘love the bike.’

“It’s definitely much more fun than strapping the kids in and out of the car and I find it to allow you to connect more with them too.”

ON A visit to Africa, I had the opportunity to take part in a ‘full on’ safari experience.

I flew into Johannesburg in South Africa and our first stop was at Sun City, a tourist complex about two hours by road from the capital.

This was originally a Casino, established in the middle of a barren landscape but with abundant water, it was soon turned into a green oasis, and now with three hotels and a major superbowl entertainment venue, this has become a complete family entertainment centre.

We stayed at what is known as the Palace of the Lost City, I can only describe it as 6 star accommodation. The building is spectacular, everything is on a grand scale.

Right in the middle, the main dining room is a fountain held up by six life size elephants.

The grounds are full of waterfalls, lakes, and swimming pools, there is a wave pool that looks more like a beach, giant pumps suck the water into a holding tower and then dumps it into the pool causing a wave big enough to surf on.

On our second day we were taken to Ukutula, a game lodge offering a unique experience of walking with lions.

The lions are completely untethered and walk along with you, the rules are as follows: 1. Stay in a group, this way the lions see you as another pride. If you leave the group you might be seen as potential prey.

2. If you drop anything or a shoelace becomes undone do not bend over or kneel down as again the lions might see you as being weak and again potential prey.

3. If the lions run off into the bush they may brush past you on their return to the group, do not be tempted to pat them, this could be bad for your hand.

Gillian Jacobs, part owner of the lodge,

told us she had a lion she had brought up from a cub, she walked with it a lot in the bush but one day she lost her footing and slipped over, the lion instantly changed from friend to foe, she escaped but could never walk with that lion again.

Armed with this invaluable information, it was time to meet the lions. We walked with three lions, one female and two males.

When we first saw them I was taken aback by their size, we were told they would be young lions, I thought about one year old, these were two year olds, quite large and so were their claws and teeth, I felt everyone bunch up.

The idea was that we would follow our guides both armed with buckets of fresh meat cut into large cubes, these would be flung onto the track in front of us to keep the lions busy as we walk along behind them, the walk would last for an hour and a half, I was wondering what would happen when the meat ran out, thankfully it did not.

Every now and then the lions would run off into the bush, and then would come running back past us towards that wonderful bucket of meat.

Our guides, with the aid of a stick, would fling meat into the air, the lions would leap up to catch it, a spectacular sight.

When the walk was over it was almost sad to leave our lions, it wasn’t until much later that the gravity of the situation and potential for danger hit home. What if just one of the lions had decided on this day they would not follow the rules and decided that one of us would make a better meal than the meat in the bucket? Who knows.

I don’t think I will ever do this again, but I’m so glad I did, what an experience.

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