Know your local 2015 AVID READER: Reg Whinray catches up on the latest local news.
PHOTO: Luke Plummer
Part of the community FOR the past 42 years, there has scarcely been a time when Reg Whinray has not been surrounded by newspapers, magazines and books. Like so many others of his generation, Reg began his working life at the tender age of 12, as a keen and hard working paperboy for Edgar’s Newsagency. Up before dawn six days a week, all year round, he rode the streets on his trusty bike, delivering papers to the homes of the newsagency’s customers. He so impressed his bosses that he began working full time at Edgar’s Newsagency (now Edgars Books and News) at the age of 16,
and he has never looked back. “Things have changed a lot since then,” Mr Whinray said, adding that while newsagents used to have a monopoly on selling items like newspapers, magazines, and greeting cards, this is no longer the case. During his time as a newsagent, he has seen many changes come and go, one of the biggest of which has been the phasing out of paperboys earlier this century. This was because of the introduction of government legislation making it illegal for minors to work before daylight hours. “The paperboy was like an
institution, often it was the only way a young kid could earn a dollar,” he said. “It was great for kids.” He said ironically, some of the adults who now make paper deliveries – using cars – are expaperboys themselves. Himself, wife Christine, and Mark and Jude Rosenow took over the business from Murray and Nola Edgar in 2000, and Mr Whinray said that although much about working in a newsagency has changed, the one constant is the customers who make buying the paper a part of their daily routine. “It’s the customers who make the job fun, particularly the early
morning customers,” he said. “You get to know a lot of people around Wangaratta.” He said changing fortunes in the newsagency industry has seen the business add books, giftware and other items into their range, including the recent addition of the ABC Shop range. Away from work, Mr Whinray is of course an avid reader himself, and over the years he has spent much time working with the Wangaratta community – from serving others through Apex, to spending many years working as a scout leader.

Make your money work for the region By Gary Warrener,
MANAGER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM, RURAL CITY OF WANGARATTA
FAMILIAR FACE: Local businessman Reg Whinray has worked in the newsagency and retail industry for over 40 years in Wangaratta. PHOTO: Luke Plummer
continued from page 1 He said the business itself also supports local schools through scholarships and other programs. When asked about the biggest issue facing local business, Mr Whinray said that competition posed by online shopping is
the biggest concern, but said ultimately, good customer service was the best way to attract and retain loyal customers. “People still like the personal interaction with sales staff,” he said. A born and bred Wangaratta
man, he urged locals to continue patronising local businesses, remarking that they are the businesses employing local people and keeping the community vibrant and active. “Where you spend your money has a flow on effect, people have got to bear that in mind,” he said.
OUR retail business sector is vitally important to our regional economy. Retail is currently our third largest employer with over 11 per cent of our total labor force (around 1300 people) employed in the sector. There have been some difficult times recently for our retail sector with strong competition from the offerings of larger cities and also the ability for people to shop online. However, shoppers should remember that every dollar you spend locally flows on through the community, creating jobs elsewhere. Shopping locally also supports our existing retailers and if the city has a vibrant retail sector then it becomes attractive for more shops to open, creating a positive flow on effect. Our CBD has changed dramatically over the past 12 months with some stores moving premises to bigger and better ones and some new shops opening. The Co-Store is now starting to buzz with several new tenants and others in the negotiation stage. The level of private investment is still high and is continuing to change the CBD and the variety of shopping experience on offer. The Economic Development and Tourism unit of council is determined to work closely with existing business operators to ensure they are provided with every opportunity to grow their skills and their businesses. Council has developed an Investment Attraction Action Plan which will drive targeted investment in the region. The local retailers are such an important part of our economy and employ a large number of local people. Our message is simple - shop locally and make your money work for the region.

Testimonial: I recently purchased 2 KIOTI Daedong PX1002 100HP tractors and a Hustler 450X Bale feeder for my beef stud cattle business and have been very impressed with their strength, reliabilty, features and all round productivety we have gained with these new machines .The team at McGregors were excellent to deal with and offer good old fashioned friendly, proffessional service - demonstrating the machines 1st so i knew they were going to do the job right for my feeding out practices in the paddock, which inturn has helped us boost production in my cattle and beef businesses . They also offer onfarm tractor & machinery backup servicing and keep a huge range of agricultural spareparts which suits our business. I highly recommend McGregor Machinery to do business with as they offer the full package and gave me a great deal on a machinery package that works for me.

Five generations of business ROD Canny, part of the fourth generation of his family to run Canny Carrying Company in Wangaratta, believes the region is an enviable place for people to do business and raise a family. His children, Jai and Kayla, are the fifth generation involved in the business. Canny Carrying Company boasts 60 staff, mostly drivers, delivering freight throughout North East Victoria, as well as Albury Wodonga, and daily to Melbourne and Sydney.
Mr Canny operates the Wangaratta depot, while his brother Greg operates the Melbourne depot. He said that the key to the business’ ongoing success is service and good staff, as well as top communication with clients to get their product delivered on time. Canny Carrying Company employs a range of skilled and semi skilled staff, and Mr Canny said they are the backbone of the company. “Our staff are our business, to see them grow in the community with families is rewarding,” he said.
He added that he believed education is becoming more and more important for the business as they head into the future, and the company needed to expand to fit the needs of clients. “Don’t depend on the past, you determine the future,” Mr Canny said.
