Record $100,000 raised in a single evening HELD at Emerald Bank’s Woolshed on Wednesday, June 5, the annual Shepparton Foodshare fundraising dinner was a sell-out event that raised a record $100,000 during the course of the evening. 12 very generous local business and individuals each committed $2,500 to support Shepparton Foodshare via a ‘monthly partner package’. Significant individual pledges were also made by The Attwood Trust, The Woolshed and Greater Shepparton Connected Community who presented a cheque for $55,000; the largest single donation that has ever been presented by the grant program committee. Shepparton Foodshare chair, Rod Shubert
said, “It was a wonderful celebration of community and partnerships. We are in awe of the generous individuals and businesses that were there on the night, it is amazing what can be achieved when a group of like-minded people get together to make a real difference.” In the theme of the event, the evening’s menu was designed as a showcase of the quality food that Foodshare rescue and distribute, demonstrating the diverse variety of food available that can be used to make a tasty and nutritious meal. With no guaranteed recurrent or government funding, Foodshare relies heavily on the support of the community donations and philanthropy to ensure the critical local service can continue. The money raised will support around 75 percent of Shepparton Foodshare’s operational costs for the next 12 months.

Further to the 2020 theme announcement, Shepparton Festival board members were also proud to announce their new creative director; Jamie Lea. A passionate and energetic local, Jamie has been a board member of Shepparton Festival for six years and is involved with a manner of local art events, including Winter Sessions, Numurkah Food Festival, Secret Garden Gigs and much more. As a teenager, Jamie grew up surrounded by Shepparton Festival and felt inspired by
community members pushing for change and celebrating local artists. She joined the board six years ago as a way of saying thank you and says her appointment to creative director is a dream come true. “I didn’t realise how much it meant to me and those around me to have the opportunity and exposure to such art on so many levels,” Jamie reflected. “Going forward, I plan to push for everincreasing creativity and growth, but to also encourage anyone and everyone with an interest in the arts to get around the festival. So, in short, the biggest change I aim to bring is an increase in participation!” Shepparton Festival has been running for 23 years and is a celebration of art in all its forms.

Sod turning ceremony marks beginning of construction By Sarah Knight C ON S T RU C T ION of t he a l l - ne w, GenesisCare $11 million cancer centre on Corio Street in Shepparton was celebrated with an official sod turning ceremony on Wednesday, June 12. The event was decorated by project advocates including, Federal Member for Nicholls, MP Damian Drum, Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell, Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe, GenesisCare general manager of oncology in Victoria, Shane Ryan and GV Health director of infrastructure, Sandy Chamberlin. The occasion marks a pivotal moment in time for cancer patients in the Greater Shepparton area, as it means the city is one step closer to receiving the promised, world-class radiation therapy treatment facilities. An emotional Wendy Lovell was clearly moved by the event, opening up about a close family member’s battle with cancer and how having local facilities at the time, could have made the experience much easier for the family and far less traumatic. She stated, “We’ve waited a long time for this.” Com munit y members with cancer currently need to travel to Melbourne, Albury-Wodonga or Bendigo for radiation therapy treatment, which is delivered daily for up to seven weeks depending on the case. This distance can place a significant physical, emotional and financial strain on individuals and their families, and for some, it can discourage patients from following through with their prescribed treatment. The development will mean $4.1 million of work for local subcontractors and Erilyan, the contractors assigned to the project, estimate the use of around 130 local subcontractors onsite throughout the course of construction. The world-class centre will enable local patients to access radiation therapy treatment within Greater Shepparton for the first time, with capacity to treat more than 500 patients a year.
Radiation therapy, also known as radiotherapy, is a highly effective weapon in the fight against cancer, contributing to more than 40 percent of all cures. The new centre will offer the latest in radiation oncology treatment technology, including Deep Inspiration Breath Hold for women with left-sided breast cancer, Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, 4D CT scans and innovative skin cancer treatments. It will also offer rapid access to radiation therapy treatment for patients in palliative care – another first for the community. Patient treatment will be delivered using an advanced linear accelerator machine, made possible through a contribution from the Federal Government’s Radiation Oncology Health Program Grants. The grant program enables access to high-cost equipment used to deliver radiation therapy in areas of need. When asked about the site’s progress, GenesisCare general manager of oncology in Victoria, Shane Ryan said, “Our goal is to be fully operational before Christmas; works started two weeks ago and we’re definitely on track.” Mr Drum welcomed the news that the centre would be operational by Christmas, saying the fully integrated centre would provide seamless world-class support services for patients in the Shepparton area. “T he new cent re is a wonder f u l com mu n it y asset , wh ich uses local contractors along the way, provides local health industry job creation, and is truly something the community can really be proud of.” For most patients, fighting a battle with cancer could be the toughest time of their life. This major expansion of cancer services, located at 124 Corio Street, opposite Community Health @ GV Health, has the potential to transform the experience of those affected by cancer in our region. Cr O’Keeffe added in summary, “This facility will literally change the lives of the people in our community.”

Intereach launch sees new partner in community By Sarah Knight A COMMUNITY-focused service-based organisation, Intereach, has officially opened its Shepparton doors in a launch event held last Wednesday, June 11. The opening marks that of the service’s 15th office, with many other locations spread throughout northern Victoria and southern New South Wales. With service accessibility provisions, provided by the NDIS, Intereach are now funded to provide Local Area Co-ordination, Early Childhood Early Intervention, Community Engagement and Capacity Development as a National Disability Insurance Scheme ‘partner in the community’. Intereach staff are helping individuals and families plan and implement their NDIS access, working with participants, community members, community groups and service providers to deliver assistance with the rollout of the NDIS. Local MP Damian Drum, spoke briefly of the benefits of the NDIS at the launch, saying, “This will be the greatest reform in this sector that the nation has ever seen.” Reiterating the value of Intereach and the work the organisation does, Mr Drum added, “More people in our community will now

have the support they need to be the very best person they can be.” Intereach executive director, Donna Casey stated, “It’s very exciting for the local community to now be able to have this kind of access to the NDIS. It enables people to have more choice and control over how they live their lives and seeks to build a more inclusive community for people living with a disability.” One of the key benefits highlighted of the Goulburn Valley being one of the last regions
to roll out the NDIS, is that Intereach has now been working in the NDIS space for over two years and the organisation’s acquired knowledge will undeniably benefit the Goulburn Valley community. Having a disability need no longer be an obstacle to accessing everything in the community that those without a disability can, it shouldn’t stop people from pursuing their goals and Intereach say they are firmly committed to bridging any gaps to achieve that outcome.

Sharing intimate stories of immigration WITH a fresh focus on celebrating food and stories from around the world, Refugee Week is currently underway. Running from Sunday, June 16 until Saturday, June 22, Greater Shepparton community will come alive with a number of events organised. The theme for Refugee Week 2019 in Australia is #WithRefugees. The ultimate aim of the week is to create a better understanding between different communities and to encourage successful integration, enabling refugees to live in safety and to continue to make valuable contribution to Australia. On Monday, Refugee Week launched locally with a special and intimate performance at St Paul’s African House, offering residents a chance to experience the performance, Bukjeh. Directed by Palestine-born vocalist, art producer and installation artist, Aseel Tayah, the performance combined song, dance, poetry and theatre to create an immersive art experience about immigration in Australia. In Arabic, a ‘bukjeh’ describes the small pack of belongings carried by refugees and travellers and Monday’s performance depicted a virtual swag of intimate stories of displacement from many cultures across many eras. Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Cr Kim O’Keeffe encouraged all residents to get involved in Refugee Week activities. “Refugee Week is Australia’s peak annual activity to raise awareness about the issues affecting refugees and celebrate the positive contributions made by refugees in Australian society,” Cr O’Keeffe said. “Council is committed to continuing to work for a vibrant cohesive community that celebrates and incorporates aspects of cultural diversity within daily life.” There are many Refugee Week events and activities happening throughout Greater Shepparton this week.

Positive economic outcomes start with local collaboration MANY of us in the Goulburn Valley share the same vision – one of strong, resilient families and communities. A major part of this is creating strong and resilient economies. This theme was central to a recent Grow Greater Economic Forum attended by 180 local leaders and held in conjunction between National Australia Bank (NAB) Shepparton, the Committee for Greater Shepparton and Greater Shepparton City Council. Greater Shepparton’s gross regional product for the year ending June 2018 sits at over $3.5 billion. In the past five years, healthcare and social assistance has grown to become the region’s largest employer, supporting more than 5,600 jobs. This is a very diverse region and we are seeing established economic drivers like agriculture, horticulture, construction, manufacturing and professional services continue to perform well. NA B Goulburn Valley regional and agriculture managing partner, Dave Davies was the official master of ceremonies for the forum and said there was a lot to be gained from holding such collaborative events. “The event highlighted the need for considered planning and investment into public transport and road

infrastructure, particularly as more people come to realise our region is a great place to live, work and base a business,” Mr Davies said. “Employment was another recurring theme on the day. It seems the challenge for the Goulburn Valley is not in creating jobs, but attracting and retaining skilled labour, and training and up-skilling our local workforce, in particular those aged between 18 and 25.” The Grow Greater E conomic Forum event also highlighted the power of collaboration. The challenge for us as a region is to maintain positive momentum and dialogue, while continuing to challenge the norms to keep our community and economy growing and evolving.

By Sarah Knight WEDNESDAY June 5, saw the launch of a new, month long initiative by Coles supermarkets that aims to provide more accessible meals to those who need it most this winter. The Winter Appeal comes as Coles and leading national food rescue organisation, SecondBite, reach a special milestone in their partnership; the equivalent of 80 million meals donated to Australians facing homelessness and hardship since 2011. This number includes more than 20 million meals donated by 200 Victorian Coles stores. The Winter Appeal allows shoppers to purchase a $2 donation card from Coles. This $2 donation helps SecondBite provide the equivalent of 10 meals to Aussies in need, giving them the chance to enjoy warming meals this winter. The funds also help pay for SecondBite’s ongoing operating expenses such as fuel, transport and refrigeration. Coles state general manager, Grant Shelton explained, “Too many people in our community cannot afford nutritious food for themselves and their families. “By raising funds for SecondBite through the Winter Appeal, Coles customers can help SecondBite reach even more people experiencing hardship in local communities.” Page 10 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1461 Wednesday, June 19, 2019
The Winter Appeal runs for four weeks and Shepparton residents are invited to join the fight against hunger this winter and support the partnership’s fundraising appeal. “Our Shepparton stores have (already) donated the equivalent of 420,000 meals to local charities like Shepparton Food Share, since partnering with SecondBite. Over the past twelve months, we’re proud to have supported more than 230 community food programs in Victoria,” said Mr Shelton. World renowned chef, Curtis Stone has also put a call out to all Australians to support The Winter Appeal saying, “It’s tragic to think that so many people around Australia are facing such hard times and can’t afford regular meals. Everyone deserves to be able to eat three meals a day and we hope that by raising funds through the Winter Appeal at Coles, we can help fill empty plates.” SecondBite CEO Jim Mullan said, “Recent reports suggest that some four million Australians required some form of food relief in the past year, whilst food waste estimates range between 5-8 million tonnes, we know there is more we can be doing to rescue food and help feed those in need.” To get involved, visit your local Coles store and ask about purchasing a donation card.

Customer owned banking MANY of us are familiar with the ‘Big Four’ banks who are owned by their investors and as a result have a considerable focus on shareholder returns. What some Australians may not be as familiar with is that there is a customerfocused alternative - the customer owned banking model of your local credit union. Investor owned banks maximise profits to pay dividends to shareholders. This creates a tension between customers of the business and its owners (shareholders). In many cases, the majority of these sha reholders a re la rge i nst it ut iona l investment banks – not mum and dad investors. This tension doesn’t exist in the customer owned model because the customers are the owners. There is no question about who comes first – customers or investors. At all times, the customer remains the focus. This creates a different culture where customer satisfaction is key. Profits generated aren’t distributed to third party shareholders, they are used to keep more branches open in local communities, employ more local staff, support local sponsorship and donation programs and provide a genuine local banking alternative. W hile there is a big difference in ownership structure, it’s important to also recognise that customer owned banking institutions are regulated in exactly the same way as the major banks and eligible

Platypus and native fish to benefit from environmental flows PLATYPUS and native fish, including the Murray cod, will benefit from the delivery of water for the environment along the Broken River downstream of Lake Nillahcootie. Goulburn Broken Catchment Managament Authority (CMA) environmental water manager, Simon Casanelia said due to dry conditions, sections of the river were still experiencing very low or no flows. “Ideally, to maintain water quality and bank vegetation, provide shelter for fish and wildlife such as the platypus and to support water bugs, we need at least 15ML per day to flow along the Broken River,” Mr Casanelia said. “Due to limited tributary inflows and low operational releases from Lake Nillahcootie now the irrigation season has finished, this minimum flow target is unlikely to be met in
the section of the river between Nillahcootie and Hollands Creek. That’s why we’re using up to 250ML of available water for the environment to maintain a base flow until at least the end of June.” Goulburn Broken CM A CEO, Chris Norman said that if conditions remained dry, Goulburn Broken CMA would continue to work with the Victorian and Commonwealth water holders and Goulburn-Murray Water to identify opportunities to secure additional water to support the delivery of the base flow beyond June. If there is heavy rain, delivery of environmental flows will stop. Last April, for the first time, water for the environment was delivered along the Broken
River. During that event, flows below Lake Nillahcootie peaked at 300ML per day and then dropped back to around 80ML per day. Recent monitoring showed promising increases in native fish numbers including silver and golden perch, Murray River rainbow fish and Murray cod in response to environmental flows. “Anyone living by the Broken River knows how low the river is at the moment,” Mr Norman said. “Delivering this small amount of water is critical for maintaining the health of the entire river and the fish, wildlife and people who rely on it.” For more information about environmental flows visit www.gbcma.viv.gob.au

Substantial capital works slows business in CBD continued from front page “Council has worked closely with Jarvis Delahey Contractors to minimise impact on traffic flow and ensure that pedestrian access is available at all times,” Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said. However businesses in the Fryers Street area say the works have been significantly detrimental to their businesses, causing a substantial loss of income. “The first week I was down about 30 percent. It really has significantly impacted my business,” said Aussie Hotel business owner, Paul Tsorbaris. The works at crossings on Fryers Street, Corio Street and North Street are being performed simultaneously and involve creating raised pedestrian crossings (similar to those at the Vaughan Street shopping area), to encourage drivers to slow down and be more careful when approaching the crossings. “Rather than do one job at a time, which would make more sense to me, they’re doing all three at once which is what’s really disturbing things – seems really disorganised to me,” said Mr Tsorbaris, who took his complaints to council directly. “They (council) were quite responsive, putting on more people, who started doing longer hours, so it’s gotten better. They’re supposed to finish in two weeks – but yeah we’ll see. There’s a lot of businesses that have been affected,” he said. The current works on the Fryers and Maude Street site will see the biggest set of works, with the whole intersection being raised by 100mm. Wit h works edg i ng closer to completion, Cr.

Making the impossible possible The inspirational story of Bajram vs Everest THE vision was this, to attempt the task of climbing what’s commonly known as ‘The Triple’; Everest’s initial three-peak climb. Accompanied by expedition leader, Andrew Lock, Bajram arrived at Lukla airport which sits at an altitude of 2,845m, before trekking nine days to get to Everest base camp (5,380m), then another five hours to Mt Kala Patthar (5,644m) and a further three days on to the final destination of Mt Lobuche East (6,119m). In an effort never before attempted by a disabled athlete, let alone one declared legally blind, the climb measures a total of 17,143m and is considered to be the test climb in preparation to summit Everest. The goal is one long-held by Bajram, held in-fact since he was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the age of 13 - the youngest Australian ever to be diagnosed with the illness. “I said to myself back then; one day I’m going to walk to the top the world and see the blue sky. And that was it,” states Bajram with conviction. “I set myself the task of reaching the peak of Mt Everest by 2021 to show that having a disability does not rule my life. And also to raise awareness for those living with a disability, to show them you can have a disability but you can also try anything and have a go - stuff it, just have a crack!” After celebrating his 52nd birthday at base camp, with about 1,000 others on May 22; Bobby, climbing with the support of Andrew and his Sherpas, successfully completed the climb on Monday, May 27 and reached the final peak without the aid of oxygen. “I couldn’t even see the top of Lobuche and I was done, my body was shutting down and I wanted to give up, but I knew I had to prove I could do it, prove that I am one of the most extreme athletes in the world with a disability.
“Andrew told me now was the time to prove it and I knew I had to man up and just do it, do it for all the people with disabilities around the world,” he said. And ‘man up’ he did. The result of his effort… climbing permission permit granted for the remainder of Everest, Bajram is now just one step away from conquering his dream of reaching the summit of Everest in 2021. “Without Andrew and my Sherpas I couldn’t have done it,” he said. “He pointed me in the right direction and they spurred me on and then I crawled on my hands and knees 400m to the summit. “I couldn’t see, there were drops either side of me, but I kept telling myself ‘man up, suck it up’. It took me an hour and fifteen minutes but I did it. “When I reached the top I sat there and cried and I thought about my family and I felt proud, because - I said I would do it and I did. “I’ve done this for everyone with a disability around the world, if I can do it, then you can do whatever you want to do too,” stated a proud Bajram. The feat has been a long time coming Bajram, it’s taken years of preparation and training to prepare himself for the extremely treacherous conditions the mountain beholds, including below zero temperatures and winds up to 160km per hour. Conditions are unforgiving, unpredictable and temperamental, but Bobby still holds his fierce determination and is adamant he will achieve his goal. “I did it, I achieved the first goal but I won’t feel like I’ve proved my point ‘til I’ve conquered Everest,” said Bajram. He likes to call the mission, ‘making the impossible possible’, and with firm conviction states, “I’m going to be the first person in the world with a disability to have successfully climbed Everest.” In order to make his dream come true and inspire others to discard their perceived limitations and follow their dreams Bobby

FOR THE LOVE OF FORD… Recently appointed Shepparton Motor Museum curator, Shaun Lennard is inviting the community to come down and check out the great display of Ford XW and XT cars in the current exhibition. Photos: Katelyn Morse.
Fifteen marvellous Ford cars on display
CAR and bike enthusiasts across Victoria have been descending on Shepparton Motor Museum to catch a glimpse of their unique and ever-changing displays. Currently, the first proper exhibition for Shepparton Motor Museum is revving up lots of interest with fifteen beautiful Ford XW and XT vehicles from 1968, 1969 and 1970 lining the floors (with more expected to arrive soon!) The exhibit will run for a couple of months and features a mixture of old and new cars, restored and original, some untouched and others featuring expensive restorations. The Ford XW and XT exhibition will be the first exhibit conducted by Shepparton Motor Museum curator, Shaun Lennard, who was appointed to the role in November. “These cars have travelled from all across Victoria, from places as far as Griffith, Geelong and the Yarra Ranges,” Mr Lennard
explained, “And it’s merely a coincidence that the exhibition coincides with the 50th anniversary of the release of the Ford XW Falcon in June 1969.” The XTs and XWs were what started to build the muscle car image of the GT Ford in the 1970s, especially following Ian ‘Pete’ Geoghegan’s win at Bathurst in 1968 in a Ford XT GT.” A replica of the aforementioned Bathurst-winning vehicle, complete with remarkable paint detailing, is propped front-andcentre as part of the Ford XW and XT exhibition. This fifteen-car exhibition comprises only a tiny selection of what’s always on view at Shepparton Motor Museum museum, with a wide array of wheeled vehicles from throughout history displayed alongside instructional and educational trivia. “We usually swap about two or three of the vehicles we have on display per week,” Mr Lennard said, “So even if you’ve been here before, it’s worth visiting again because we’re always updating and changing the displays.”

Diversity celebrated in region’s first
Pride Cup Pride Cup began as a powerful gesture of mateship... and has since grown into a national movement that unites communities. ALL colours of the rainbow were on display last Saturday, June 15, in a weekend dedicated to LGBTQI+ inclusion and diversity in sport. The inaugural Pride Cup saw Ardmona Football Netball Club take on Murchison-Toolamba Football Netball Club to celebrate and raise awareness for the local LGBTQI+ community and their allies. Pride Cup began as a powerful gesture of mateship at Yarra Glen Football Netball Club in 2012 and has since grown into a national movement that unites communities. When Yarra Glen footballer Jason Ball publically came out as gay in 2012, his
teammates came up with the idea of Pride Cup in a show of support, with players wearing rainbow jumpers and the 50-metre line painted rainbow colours. It was an event that galvanised the entire community and became the inspiration for the now annual AFL Pride Game, first played between St Kilda FC and Sydney Swans in 2016. Pride Cup has now spread its rainbow wings, connecting communities across several sporting codes around the country. A r mond a Fo otba l l N e tba l l C lub committee member, Teisha McCoy said that the inaugural Ardmona Pride Cup was a great success, with a fantastic turnout for Greater Shepparton’s first ever Pride Cup. “Murch-Toolamba took out the 2019 Pride Cup after an exciting day of football and netball. We all had a great day celebrating diversity, inclusion and the LGBTQI+ community in club sports. Thank you to GV Pride and the Greater Shepparton LGBTQI+ Community Alliance for all their help in making this event a great success.”
GVL adds under 16 age group IT was announced last week that the Goulburn Valley League has been granted permission by the AFL Goulburn Murray (GM) Commission to add an Under 16 age group commencing in season 2020. Following the junior football review of 2017, the GVL signalled its intent to add an Under 16 age group to the league. After two years of research and two formal applications from the GVL, the commission agreed to allow the addition to proceed. Regional general manager, Jamie Macri explained, “The AFL GM Commission is satisfied with the entry of the GVL Under Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1461 Wednesday, June 19, 2019
16s. The junior review has been the largest body of work undertaken by AFL GM and, in association with strong junior player data, has provided a strong evidence base on which this decision has been made.” Commission chairman, Peter Foott, added, “The size of this change to the junior structure in the area has been taken into consideration and the commission understands not all parties will be positive about the change. The commission is confident the change will underpin positive reform in our region and serve the best interests of the game in the AFL Goulburn Murray region.”
