Barmah cull based on incorrect information

SAVE OUR BRUMBIES… From left, Barmah Brumby Preservation Group vice president, Noel Wiltshire, publicity officer, Julie Pridmore and vice president, Daryl Olney with Barmah Brumbies behind them at Barmah National Park. Parks Victoria (PV) has outlined plans to cull the brumbies and the community is being urged to have their say on PV’s plan before the close date of May 30. Photo: David Lee.

By David Lee CLOSE your eyes for a moment and picture around 200 majestic heritage brumbies roaming the plains of 77,000 acres in one of our local national parks. Sounds pretty amazing right? Now imagine the thought of those brumbies being culled, no longer roaming the fields they, and generations before them, have made their home for hundreds of years.

This is what is currently on the table as part of Parks Victoria’s Barmah Strategic Action Plan.

The four year strategic plan, ‘Protection of floodplain marshes in Barmah National Park and Barmah Forest Ramsar site 2019-2023,’ has ben released for public consultation, and there are many local groups, and indeed people further afield who are questioning the reasoning behind the need for the cull.

Most successful rallye yet raises $68,500

By David Lee RALLYE goers as part of this year’s GV Hospice Rallye have expressed just how thrilled they were taking on the 500km round trip, which helped to raise $68,500 for Goulburn Valley Hospice Care Services.

This year’s theme was all about music, with the route running from Shepparton through the spectacular rolling hills at Eildon.

Rallye chairman, Min Innes-Irons said, “It was great. We have had feedback that it’s the best rallye we have put on. We raised $52,000 last year, so to beat that this year is great. In fact it almost matched the highest amount we have made during any rallye over the last 24 years.

“This year’s route was exceptionally good. The food and accommodation at Eildon were wonderful.

“Being the musical/musicians theme, the scope was wide for what people got dressed up as and that went really well. People went out of their way to get into the theme.

“Next year being the 25th we’re going to be pulling out all stops to ensure it is a memorable rallye. We encourage anybody who hasn’t been along to the rallye before to come along and be part of it.”

THE BEST YET… The 2019 GV Hospice Rallye has been said to have been the best yet thanks to such an interesting route and musical theme.

Participants raised $68,500 to go toward the important Goulburn Valley Hospice Care Services. Pictured, Jill Innes-Irons and daughter, Georgie in a 1926 Bugatti. Photo: Supplied.

Meet your candidates

Nickee Freeman PARTY: The Australian Greens

THE race to determine the victor for the seat of Murray/Nicholls is coming to a close. Over the past few weeks, The Adviser offered each candidate the opportunity to answer four questions, to give the people of the electorate the chance to get to know their prospective Federal Member.

Here are the final candidate’s answers.

Bill Lodwick PARTY: Australian Labor Party

I’m proud of our diversity and value our rural communities.

The electorate of Nicholls is a beautiful place to live and work. Together, we can make it even better.

some urgent help in areas where they have fallen behind through no fault of their own.

Labor starts with the schools in Nicholls which will get a $25million boost through Labor over the next 3 years. Health and aged care and mental health and many other plans will be implemented fully here as I fight for every available dollar.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE MDBP?

WHAT IS YOUR CAMPAIGN MESSAGE?

The Labor Party is odds on to with the election and I would like to see the people of Murray/Nicholls well represented. This is the safest seat in Australia and very much taken for granted by The Nationals. If elected, I will use my broad experience and my abilities as an advocate to ensure the people here are fairly and fully represented in Canberra and get their fair share of federal funding and benefits.

I have worked for the Federal Government I know how to get things done. I have held political office, I know how to listen and learn about our people and our communities and what they need most. I am a scientist and I understand what experts are telling me and can make up my own mind about what it means and what should be done.

Murray/Nicholls needs a leader like me to be their voice in Canberra. They don’t need a proven follower like the one they have now for a single day more.

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN OF ACTION TO GIVE THE PEOPLE OF MURRAY/NICHOLLS THE THINGS THAT THEY BELIEVE ARE IMPORTANT?

Labor’s entire campaign is based on Action Plans for all of Australia. It is available for all to see on the ALP website. I will link those plans to the needs of the people of Nicholls. The people of Nicholls can use

The MDBP is in urgent need of review and renewal – if not total replacement. It is not working for the environment, for the farmers or for the communities which rely on the wealth generated by them to survive. It has been completely mismanaged by the secretive National ministers and the government they work for. They are already saying they will not even try to change a single thing and blame the problems on everyone else. As usual, they are protecting the people who have made fortunes out of the plan – the speculators and the rich. I will stand up for the farmers and the communities. I fully support a Royal Commission into the entire Plan right from the beginning.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC YOU HAVE HEARD THE ELECTORATE TALKING ABOUT?

The most common topic is water. The most important topics are the ones which relieve suffering and brighten the future for people.

Better health care, more funds into relieving mental health problems and domestic violence problems are at the top for me.

It will be my mission to ensure that the promised federal funds reach us here in full.

WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR THE ELECTORATE?

I want to see a vibrant and growing economy where people can enjoy the rural lifestyle without worrying from day to day about survival. I want to see our cities and towns filled with opportunities and bright futures for young and old. I want everyone to be able to find as much richness from life as possible.

Labor’s policies and plans will help bring this about but with me in parliament, you will have a smart, dedicated and experience person working hard to bring it about.

After contacting Nickee Freeman, the answers to her questions were not received in time for publication. Instead we have published the message from her website.

MESSAGE:

Hi, I’m Nickee. I’m running as your Greens candidate for Murray/Nicholls because I’m passionate about human rights and the environment – both of which I have been defending for 30 years.

My experience covers a lot of ground. I’ve worked in natural resource management with state government agencies in the Goulburn-Murray and Alpine National Park regions. I’ve been involved in pest plant and animal control, biodiversity, Landcare and irrigation projects during this time.

I have been a small business owner, running a successful bayside horticultural franchise, and a costume-manufacturing enterprise.

I’m familiar with the challenge of balancing full-time work and raising a family.

I ’m d e d i c a t e d t o p r e s e r v i n g o u r environment and climate change action.

I have been a sustainability educator in schools and vocational trainer with Corrections Victoria and TA FE . I’ve worked with the Landcare movement for almost three decades and have been involved in environmental and climate activism from a young age. I currently work in disability support.

I am passionate about social justice, First Nations sovereignty and self determination as well as ensuring we have a diverse society that welcomes all. I’ve volunteered on school committees, advocated against bullying and was a member of the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG).

Making a difference for local kids

By David Lee IT’S coming up to that all important time of the year again, when locals are asked to dig deep to help raise funds for the benefit of our local kids, through the Give Me 5 For Kids (GM5FK) fundraiser.

Since 2005, Southern Cross Austereo has helped to raise over $1M locally with help from the community, which has gone back into the GV Health Children’s Ward.

This year, the funds raised will be going toward an Isolette Cot (infant incubator), which is on top of GV Health’s wish list.

Throughout the month of June, several events will be held across the region, including a luncheon with one of Australia’s top thoroughbred racehorse trainers, David Hayes at the Parklake Hotel on May 30.

T he special luncheon will star t at

12:30pm and includes a light lunch, as well as a Q&A session with David and an impressive auction item up for grabs that would appeal to racing enthusiasts.

Places are limited and tickets cost $45 and are available now from Southern Cross Austereo (Triple M).

Southern Cross Austereo general manager, Alan Kellock said, “For a station this size to be able to deliver over $1M is phenomenal.

Without the help and support form the local community, this wouldn’t have been possible.

“We’ve also had a lot of businesses come on board to support the cause which makes all the difference.

“We are always open to anyone getting involved by hosting an event for GM5FK. If you want to put on an event we can help you to promote it.

“We also have donation tins available at the station for any businesses who would like to have one in their office to raise funds.”

A special public launch event will be held at GV Health on June 3 between 6am and 9am.

To donate or for a full list of local events, visit www.giveme5forkids.com.au or phone Southern Cross Austereo Shepparton on 5821 1260 or drop into 625 Wyndham Street, Shepparton.

City of Greater Shepparton Fire Brigade Group manager, Ian Martin was incredibly grateful for the donation.

“We’re in the process of getting a new vehicle to use around the Goulburn Valley, so this money is going to

be a huge help to go towards costs for that.

“A lot of our funds are through our own fundraisers and volunteer work, so we’re always incredibly thankful when we get extra support from the community,” Ian said.

Helping feed a community in need

By David Lee THE growth in the demand for such an essential item such as food across the region, shows just how much the community needs services like Shepparton Foodshare. To help see its continued growth, the organisation is once again holding its Make a Meal of June fundraising dinner.

Running on Wednesday, June 5, Make a Meal of June will be held in a new location this year at The Woolshed, Emerald Bank.

Included in the ticket price is a three-course meal. Attendees will also have the opportunity to secure a ‘monthly partner package’ to

support Foodshare and will hear from guest speakers from Orange Sky and Education First Youth Foyer.

With no other service offering this support locally, Foodshare needs community support to continue and to help cater for increasing demand. For every $1 donated to Shepparton Foodshare, the equivalent of up to 10 meals are provided.

Shepparton Foodshare chair, Rod Shubert said, “The support from our community for Shepparton Foodshare is heartening.

“The past two years our fundraising dinner has sold out, and at the dinner we were able to secure a monthly partner for every month of the year.

“With no recurrent funding and demand for food relief continuing to rise, our fundraising efforts are now more important than ever.”

Diverse Builders is back on board as the major sponsor for the event. The company’s marketing and sales support officer, Jaime Nielsen said. “We are proud to continue our support of Shepparton Foodshare and love being involved with the fundraising dinner.

“We encourage other local business to take advantage of the genuine value for money ‘monthly partner package’ which we can honestly say has brought numerous benefits to our business.”

Greater Shepparton City Council has again come on board as a sponsor, with Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe saying events like this are important in getting networking happening.

OPINION

Letters to the Editor

A BIG PROBLEM WITH OUR WATER Dear Editor, The big problem with the Murray Darling Basin Plan, anointed by the Howard Government and implemented in the dying days of minority Gillard Government and dependant on the Greens and Independent support, was that the then government had no irrigation seats and showed little regard for the irrigation industry.

The reliability of the communities and the value of irrigation production have been ignored. This has been demonstrated when the 450GL was added on afterward, conditional to being no socio-economic

impacts. They want it unconditionally. There should be an inquiry into that.

The water has been taken from the irrigators and allocated to the environment with devastating results. The Shepparton district has lost half of its water.

It seems that the environment is not well managed with Lake Menindee, a previous popular fishing spot drained. Over a million fish, many quite large, have been killed and the Lower Darling being polluted and water made unfit for drinking. It is toxic.

A pipeline has been built to take water from the Murray River to the Darling Basin at Wentworth to pump water uphill to Broken Hill. Why should South Australia

All of this has happened under the Murray Darling Basin Authority.

This is what happens when a Green ideology prevails.

Yours sincerely, N. Sims Shepparton

MY TAKE ON ISRAEL FALOU Dear Editor, Israel Falou has religion and apparently is prepared to accept and be guided by that religion. He is a relatively high profile personality, but that should not preclude him from being able to air his views in whatever media he chooses.

Should those beliefs be of too higher standard for most of us, which I am sure they are, because almost all of us would have committed one of the acts he mentions; then we can attempt to improve ourselves or walk away?

We do not have the right to attempt to take away his right to express his beliefs.

Remember Christ asked the disciples to go out and spread the word.

All those who agreed with the man also have the same rights. Incidentally the cartoon in one of the papers summed up the situation beautifully. Although I would have possibly been a little less harsh on humanity and maybe put one or two spectators in the football ground grandstands!

Yours sincerely, Tony Bell Mooroopna

10 hours was way over the top even for an election campaign.

Whilst on this subject I have already noticed a few comments about how will we maintain our roads if the petrol tax disappears. The simple answer to that will be to transfer that tax onto electricity usage in electric cars. Finally, what motivates a person living in Sydney to write to a country paper in Victoria on such a matter?

Yours sincerely, Bill Brown Shepparton

GLOBAL EMISSIONS Dear Editor, The position taken by the Coalition and reiterated continually by the Damian Drum that as we contribute only 1.3 percent of global carbon dioxide emission any concerted effort to reduce our total emissions would have virtually no impact and therefore would be a wasted effort.

It is a puerile position to take when you consider Australia has the second highest per capita rate of emission on the planet and is the 16th biggest emitter. If we take coal exports into consideration we would rank the sixth highest and that doesn’t include gas and the Adani coal exports. The lack of a real aspiration target to reduce our emission negates extinguishes our credibility in the world and from being the energy and technology powerhouse for the Asia-Pacific region and the benefits that flow.

Yours sincerely, Terry Court Tatura

OUR ELECTRIC FUTURE

FOODBOWL

Dear Editor, After reading the letter from Simon Forbes (The Adviser, April 24) wherein Simon gave Bill Shorten a ‘back hander’ about his election promise regarding electric cars. He stated that Shorten had been caught out when he was asked the length of time it would take to charge an electric family car when, he allegedly said eight to 10 minutes but, according to Simon, this would take between eight to 10 hours. I found this hard to believe so I Googled Chargefox, the company that is installing electric car chargers across the country. I learned that these chargers would take 15 minutes to recharge the car allowing a further 400km travelling. Further to this, most of these chargers will be connected to renewable energy sources. Please note that the eight to

Dear Editor, It was interesting to read the report on no water and dry conditions in the Shepparton region, according to concerned local orchardists. These same orchardists should be asked and answer why every time predicted storms are about to hit the Shepparton area they turn on their hail guns to disperse the storm weather every time stopping any rain that could eventuate out of those weather fronts.

T h is has been going on for yea rs not allowing the rain to fall, just to stop predicted hail that may or may not fall so what is the answer? Get rain or blow it away with hail guns.

Exhibit and drawing wall showcase at SAM THERE is a bit happening at SAM, with the latest installation on the Drawing Wall and the kick off of the latest exhibition.

The exhibition features Indigenous art from the Baluk Arts group and includes natural materials such as feathers and clay. Titled ‘earth bound, in flight: ceramic artists of Baluk Arts,’ it will be in the Showcase at SAM until August 7 in collaboration with Craft. ‘earth bound, in flight’ is a record of making at Baluk, punctuating the importance of collaboration and shared understanding of culture and community.

It features work by Lisa Waup, Cassie Leatham, Beverley Meldrum and Tallara Gray and feathers by Robert Kelly, Patsy Smith, Yvonne Luke, Lynnette Pitt, Robert Austin Djeranarlumn, Nick Kupetsky, Daniel Kelly, Sharee Harper, and Mai Katona. The exhibition is free to view and works are available for purchase.

The Drawing Wall installation features artist, Alex Pittendrigh with a work called ‘Près des Eaux: Tears of Isis.’

His piece presents a large abstract painting referencing water and river systems.

It ties together the artist’s interest in environment, but also his long-held passion for ancient cultures.

This work specifically references symbolic and sacred readings of water in Egyptian tomb paintings.

In a contemporary context, it references issues faced by river systems in Australia such as the recent catastrophic ‘kill’ events within Australian rivers such as at the Murray Darling basin /Menindee.

Offering assistance and support GREATER Shepparton is filled with some amazing people achieving incredibly compassionate and empathetic feats. One such group is Voice for Silent People, a local, non-profit organisation that assists people in places like the Congo who are victims of corruption, conflict and violence.

Voice for Silent People promotes justice and the human dignity of all people through ‘Advocation, Education and Assistance.’ At present, their assistance program is small, but like the song says: “from little things, big things grow.”

Voice for Silent People secretary, Damien Sullivan said, “We want to make sure that we are in it for the long haul, and continue to provide assistance for as long as it is needed.

“We have committed to assist two young girls in the Democratic Republic of the Congo who have been severely affected by conflict and violence.

“Rose is just one such example of someone we have worked with recently.

Rose was orphaned when her parents were killed in a machete attack. Relatives have taken her in but they need our help to cover such things as school fees, medicines

Kyabram’s history THE township of Kyabram started in the 1870s, with settlement beginning in 1873 and the first blocks of land sold in 1876.

The first business house in Kyabram was a grocery and produce store, opened in 1876.

Early settlers to the area were keen to have the railway extended through the area. In 1886, tenders were called for the construction of the line between Toolamba and Echuca and the railway was officially opened on August 18, 1887. The newly built railway station made Kyabram a central area and developments continued.

To celebrate the great history of Kyabram, The Adviser, with the endless support of Shepparton Heritage Centre and Lost Shepparton are excited to be presenting these great snapshots from the Goulburn Valley’s past. For more great historical images, visit ‘Lost Kyabram’ or ‘Lost Shepparton’ on Facebook.

Home for a special performance ONE of Australia’s most-loved musicals has roots in the Yorta Yorta region and is returning home for a special performance at Riverlinks Eastbank next week.

Of course, we’re talking about The Sapphires. T he musical is a joyous production inspired by the incredible true story of four Yorta Yorta women. Typically country singers, the four young women change their tune when they’re suddenly given the chance to dress up in sequins and sing pop and soul hits to try and spread joy in the hell that is the Vietnam War. The musical is written and directed by Tony Briggs, son of one of the original Sapphires, who says he will deliver one of the most intimate versions of The Sapphires story yet.

Performer, Mindy Kwanten, who plays Cynthia from The Sapphires said, “We are doing over 158 shows across Australia in just 10 months but to be able to perform this Yorta Yorta story on Yorta Yorta country is something truly special and unique.

“It’s hard to find the words to describe the feeling. Everyone is just so excited be performing in Shepparton and these shows

The Sapphires is a funny, heart-warming tale about the unbelievable journey of the group who sang Motown Soul hits against the backdrop of personal change and massive social upheaval.

The Sapphires will be running two

performances at Riverlinks Eastbank on Wednesday, May 22 at 10:30am and 7:30pm. Tickets are available online or through the Riverlinks Box Office. For the full selection of shows on offer, visit www. riverlinksvenues.com.au/whats-on or call the Box Office on 5832 9511.

Barmah cull based on incorrect information DON’T REMAIN SILENT. HAVE YOUR SAY NOW!… There is still time to have your say on the Parks Victoria’s Barmah Strategic Action Plan, which outlines the need to cull the number of brumbies at Barmah National Park. Photo: David Lee.

continued from front page ONE such group, the Barmah Brumby Preservation Group (BBPG) have been working around the clock to not only care for and feed these amazing animals, but they have dug a little deeper and discovered through DNA testing in the USA that the breed that resides in Barmah is unique and not found elsewhere.

According to the plan, Parks Victoria and other government groups have estimated there are over 400 of the horses in the national park, which they are planning on reducing to around 100 by 2023. But preservation groups are saying this estimated number is far from the truth.

Parks Victoria claim that the reducing of numbers is essential in helping to protect the floodplain marshes, in controlling grazing and to conserve flora and fauna species from being trampled by the horses, such as Moira grass. But the local preservation group says the grass is being killed off due to unseasonal environmental flows being done at the wrong time of the year and not the grazing by the brumbies. The flooding is also killing off the River Red Gums.

BBPG vice presidents, Noel Wiltshire, Daryl Olney and publicity officer, Julie Pridmore met with The Adviser to talk about the inaccuracies in the plan and is calling on the community to visit the plan’s website and have their say before the deadline date of May 30.

“These brumbies have been a huge part of the bush for a long time,” Noel, Daryl and Julie said.

“From our count there are about 200

brumbies, but Parks Victoria outline there are 400. If they start culling with those numbers in mind, there won’t be any horses left.

“Their whole theory is based on lies. They aren’t making an informed decision because it is all based on untruths.

“It is the continuous water flows over the plains killing the roots of the grass, not the horses. The brumbies actually help the ecology of the park and help to reduce fire danger.

“Parks Victoria say that it is in talks with groups like ours and that they are working with us. This is not the case. They hold meetings with us but they don’t take anything we are saying on board and constantly say they have ‘no comment’ when we ask certain questions.

“On top of that these horses have been proven through DNA testing to be their own unique breed. They should be protected and taken care of, not culled.

“There are a lot of people working together to help the brumbies and feeding them off their own backs. They realise their importance, so why doesn’t Parks Victoria?

“They have been offered many possible solutions, and they are just turning a blind eye to them.

“There is a saying by Winston Churchill that goes, ‘there is nothing better for the inside of a man that the outside of a horse.’ That saying is so true.

“We are standing up for what is right and what Parks Victoria is proposing to do does not make any real sense.”

Big crowd gathers to honour local aerobatics legend continued from front page PIP, who tragically lost his life in a plane accident in 2009, was spoken about fondly during the gathering, where Greater Shepparton City Council unveiled the memorial area, with council contributing the grounds keeping and supplying the rose garden.

Pip’s daughter, Sarah Wathen was proud to see such a large turnout to see Pip honoured in this way.

Sarah said, “We feel very proud and humbled. Pip must have touched the lives of so many people whether they were 8-yearsold or 80. We wanted to let the community know of his other achievements as people may only know Pip as the guy in the sky, but he was far from just that. He wasn’t a boastful person.

cheeky and quick witted nature is definitely something that I will never forget. On my 21st birthday he wrote in my book ‘Youth and exuberance are no match for old age and treachery.’

Message from Minister for Education, James Merlino AS A young boy, I’d never imagined a career in politics. Like many young people, I had no idea about what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was, however, always curious about what people did for work.

I first developed an interest in civics when I studied political science as part of my arts degree at the University of Melbourne.

My pathway to a career in politics began as a councillor on the Yarra Ranges Council. I enjoyed representing residents and being part of community life. It gave me a taste for public office, and in November 2002, I was first elected to Parliament as the Member for Monbulk.

I have been fortunate to work in various portfolios and meet people from all walks of life. As Minister for Sport, Recreation and Youth Affairs I was able to immerse myself in a great interest of mine — sport.

And today, as Deputy Premier and Minister for Education I have the opportunity to indulge another great passion — education.

It’s a privilege to work in education, because it really is the key to preparing our young people for the future.

I am lucky to have a dream job that inspires and challenges me, and I encourage all young people to follow their dreams too. Everyone deserves to have a career that connects with their own passions, interests, lifestyle and values.

That’s why I am so pleased this year’s theme for Education Week celebrates careers and pathways.

The Education State is about giving every child the best chance to succeed in learning and in life.

Careers education is a vital part of this ambition.

It helps young people to make that connection between their interests and their ambitions so they can see a brighter future, and find the right path to get there.

We know that with the right support, every child has the ability to thrive. That’s why we’ve overhauled careers education in schools. It’s also why we have invested heavily in skills and training, reforming the TAFE sector, providing free TAFE courses and strengthening pathways to higher education.

During Education Week - May 19 to 25 I encourage every student, parent, teacher and educator to take part in the variety of events and activities being held across the state.

Many schools, TAFEs and early childhood services will open their doors to the community and showcase the amazing work they do. I encourage everyone to

celebrate and support Education Week 2019.

All about ‘Celebrating Careers’

PATHWAYS TO YOUR DREAM PROFESSION… The 2019 Education Week is centred on ‘Celebrating Careers’ and giving students the chance to get a taste for different job options. Photo: Katelyn Morse.

THIS year, Education Week will be celebrating 75 years of showcasing the strengths and achievements of Victoria’s government education sector. Education Week 2019 will run next week from Sunday, May 19 to Saturday, May 25 and the theme for this year is ‘Celebrating Careers.’

The ‘Celebrating Careers’ theme is all about celebrating the careers and pathways that will make your dreams come true. It is about recognising the experience of each individual student and establishing a pathway that’s unique to them, a career that sets up students to be

Page 18 –The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1456 Wednesday, May 15, 2019

creative and committed contributors to the community.

During Education Week, schools are encouraged to try different activities and careers events to allow students the chance to get a taste for as many different professions as possible.

Education Week is an opportunity for schools, TAFEs and Tech Schools to showcase the work they are doing to support students in their career pathways.

It’s a chance for schools to celebrate education and to encourage students to understand the importance of learning.

Increase your child’s confidence in the classroom

HELPING children to grasp math and English concepts require a lot of patience, dedication and skill. Some children just need a little extra help to get there and this is where the team from Kip McGrath work their magic.

Kip McGrath Education Centre Shepparton owner, Willem Badenhorst said, “ We want to thank all the wonderful families who became part of our journey in Shepparton. To us it is a dream come true to support students to make progress in their learning, it’s the best job in the world.

“Since we took over the Kip McGrath franchise in Shepparton at the end of 2016, we have helped several hundred children to catch up, keep up or go ahead in their learning. Since we moved the centre closer to the corner of Verney and New Dookie (Balaclava) Road, most kids have easy access to attend the lessons, and parents have access to free parking right in front of our door.

Kids can also access the school bus exchange close by.

“New technological developments are changing the way we do things.

Now every child has access to their homework online, and c an also access revision lessons online during school holidays ensuring the learning

programs are never interrupted due to illness or breaks.

“We track our students’ learning and by monitoring their progress closely, we address the child’s individual learning needs and adapt their lessons to suit.

We also offer on-screen tuition for students who live remotely.”

Opening doors for the region’s Indigenous youth

GANBINA has once again played host to the region’s Indigenous youth, their families and prospective employers and educational institutions at the 2019 Ganbina Careers Night.

The annual event, which showcases education, training and employment opportunities for Ganbina participants aged 15-25 years, was a great success and highlighted the multitude of opportunities available to the youth in attendance.

General manager, Larissa Falla said, “Ganbina enjoys meaningful partnerships with a great number of corporate and philanthropic organisations, all with a keen interest in creating opportunities for Indigenous youth. The Ganbina Careers Night connects participants and their families with universities, training organisations and potential employers in a relaxed setting allowing one on one interaction to gain more insight into their future career path.”

Ganbina graduate, Sam Muir spoke on the evening about his education, training and employment journey and shared how he was supported by Ganbina for the best part of 10 years.

“I was supported by Ganbina from

Year 7 onward as I attended Mooroopna Secondary College, with the support continuing when I relocated to Melbourne as a University student,” Sam said.

“The connections I made as a result of the programs I was involved in opened many doors for me, eventually being able to secure employment at Crown. My current role as marketing executive-non-gaming is my dream job and a great platform for continued professional growth.

“With persistence and effort, anything is possible.”

Educational investment in region strong

THE importance of education to help build a region is paramount, and the government has realised this, with the Greater Shepparton area receiving more than $35M to build new, and upgrade existing, school infrastructure over the past five years alone.

The Victorian Government has increased the contribution to government schools in the Greater Sheppar ton area via the Student

Resource Package by 15 percent in that time, which is helping to support more than 7,500 students currently attending those schools within the region.

A spokesperson for the Department of Education and Training said, “Our priority is making sure all Victorians – no matter where they live – have the best possible start in life and are able to attend a great local school and get a great education.”

A taste of

Tasmania by sea

MAIN: BOUND FOR TASMANIA… From left, local residents, Leah, Ethan, Anthony and Ella-Rei Dunlop about to board their Carnival Legend cruise ship which was bound for Tasmania.

TOP RIGHT: CELEBRATING AUSTRALIA DAY AT SEA… To help celebrate Australia while on board the Carnival Legend, the crew created Australia Day themed scenes, made from the ship’s towels.

INSET: SCRUMPTIOUS SALMON… There was so much to choose from when it came to cuisine, including the Salmon pictured here, which Leah had in the ship’s main dining room.

By David Lee FOR local residents, Leah, husband, Anthony, daughter, Ella-Rei and son, Ethan Dunlop it was a chance to experience the joys of a cruise and the tantalising call of Tasmania in one, but they didn’t realise when booking just how amazing their journey would be.

The four boarded the Carnival Legend just two days shy of Australia Day, with their Tasmanian destination to be the port at Hobart.

Leah’s first impression of the ship was that it was a city on water. In fact the glass elevators that you see in the atrium reminded her of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

But it didn’t stop there. Their first day on board, the family spent walking the ship, but as Leah says, it was so big and there was just so much on offer, you just couldn’t get around to it all.

When Australia day hit, the crew had gone all out and in true Aussie style, the Australian patriotic atmosphere could be seen and felt everywhere you went. After leaving their rooms for breakfast in the morning, staff on the ship would get creative and make a new towel animal featuring the Australian flag. This theme was seen right throughout the ship. On the deck by the pool the Australian flag was found proudly attached to hundreds of towel animals.

A truly amusing experience for the whole family and indeed everyone else on board.

The best bit though, as Leah explained, was the food. It was 24 hour dining. You could eat what you wanted, when you wanted. Ice cream for breakfast was a sure thing…or if you felt like seafood it was there. Burgers…yup. Stews, sausages, pizza, sushi and à la carte meals such as scrumptious salmon, silky pumpkin

soup, perfect meat pie and desserts to die for were all on offer…and that’s only a taste of what you could dig in to.

They arrived in Hobart on the morning of Australia Day and off the ship the family headed to the famous Salamanca Market.

Leah said it is definitely a must do when visiting Hobart. From the hand made delights, crafts, to local produce, there is something for everyone.

The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is also one not to miss. I would say that it was only the children who enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit, but Leah and Anthony got great joy out of it too.

The harbour was a wonderful place to spend some time and the cafés were a delightful place to sit and taste some of the best Hobart has to offer.

Back on the Carnival Legend, they enjoyed the trip home taking some R&R time before they docked back at Melbourne.

Now back in Shepparton, Leah and the family would like to thank Lyn McNaught Travel for helping to plan and organise their trip.

Not much has changed FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH… Kyabram looks to be rolling on stronger than last year. Pictured, Kyle Mueller (Kyabram). Photo: Bailey Opie Photography.

WE ARE a third of the way into season 2019 and the Kyabram machine looks to be rolling on and is even stronger than last year.

The Bombers look to be smarting from their shock grand final loss of 2018, which denied them of a three-peat and ended their record breaking winning games run. They have been making mince meat of some of the challengers this year and really are the Goulburn Valley’s answer to the Globetrotters.

The inclusions of big man, Jake Reeves and Josh Vick has only added to this powerhouse who currently boasts the leagues top two goal kickers in Kayne Pettifer and Kyle Mueller.

The only chink in the armour I can see at this early stage is if they had some significant injuries. The price a club like this pays over a few years is losing the depth of the list as players on the fringe head to greener pastures and more senior football opportunities. This is quite evident for the first time in years at Bomber land with their reserves side towards the bottom of the ladder with only one win.

While the rest of the competition is so even, it appears we will need to just be content to watch this unbelievable run of success continue that this powerful club has created.

Ride for a cause helping local cancer patients

By David Lee MORE than 200 riders and support crew pedalled their way through town last week as part of the Tour de Cure, with a special donation of $10,000 being made to GV Health’s Oncology department while they were here.

Starting in Sydney and finishing up in Geelong, the Tour de Cure Australia started in 2007 and since then has raised over $50M, funded 425 cancer projects, contributed to over 26 cancer advances or breakthroughs, and talked to over 120,000 school children about making healthy lifestyle decisions.

The local donation to the Peter Copulos Cancer and Wellness Centre will help go toward buying new equipment to ensure GV Health can monitor and deliver high quality care to patients in the region in having their treatments.

It will also go to providing ongoing financial support by assisting with travel if patients need to outside the region for specialised tests.

GV Health Foundation director, Carmel Johnson said, “It is nice to be getting this donation. These types of donations make such a real difference and we are so grateful to be receiving it.

“It is so important to be able to support our patients, particularly those who need to travel for radiotherapy.

“We provide treatment and support services to a large catchment to around 20,000 people.

“The grant will hopefully have a component with for families who may be having financial issues with fuel, groceries etc.

“It will also go toward giving patients access to radiotherapy and clinic trials.

“Whilst we do some clinical trials here, this will allow the patients access to clinical trials that may be happening in

“GV Health is really proud and in awe of these cyclists who not only do the hard yards with the cycling but then go

on to donating funding to the local towns they visit as well.

It is wonderful.”

Walking as one for cancer

ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE… Local resident, Marilyn Boulter, her daughter and daughter’s friend were part of the 551 strong group to take part in this year’s 4km Mother’s Day Classic to help raise funds and awareness for cancer. Photo: Supplied.

By David Lee I T WAS a day of camaraderie when local resident, and Lifestyle Shepparton homeowner, Marilyn Boulter took part in the 4km Mother’s Day Classic with her daughter and hundreds of other Lifestyle Communities homeowners on Sunday.

Marilyn made the decision to raise money and awareness for cancer through the event after watching numerous family members battle the horrible disease.

The 66-year-old has watched her beloved

daughter battle with cancer and the decision to join the charity walk is very close to her heart.

Marilyn said, “It was a terrific day. We had my daughter and one of her friends, who as also a cancer survivor take part.

“Walking up to domain road I could see a sea of pink hats in front of us. It was fantastic.

“It’s always good to be walking for such a great cause.

“This was the first time any of us have

walked in this particular event and next year we will all be bringing along other family members and really push our fundraising efforts next year.

“It would be wonderful to see far more cancer sufferers cured and this is all a part of making steps toward that.”

The Mother’s Day Classic is one of Lifestyle Communities’ many charity efforts to raise funds for cancer, an initiative formed after losing one of the company’s founding partners, Dael Perlov to cancer.

Five days until BMX champs race into town THE countdown to the BMX Australia BAD BOY National Championships in Shepparton has reached the point of great excitement, with just five days until the week long event kicks off from May 20.

When nominations for the challenge (age group) classes closed, well over 1,400 entries had been received.

Last year, when the national titles were in Bunbury, Western Australia, there were 1,331 entrants.

BM X Australia national events manager, Emily MacIver said, “Things are progressing well in our preparations and we are very pleased with the number of riders and their families that are heading to Shepparton.

“Our numbers are already greater than last year and we are still receiving entries for the elite riders.”

Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Martin Pakula said the government was proud to support the event through its $17.7M Significant Sporting Events Program.

“With more than 1,400 of the country’s top riders along with their families and supporters converging on Shepparton, it’s going to be a celebration of all things BMX,” Mr Pakula said.

“I urge Victorians to take the opportunity to go and see our best riders in action.”
