We got to visit Refuge Cove and Eden, and we also had the privilege of being in Sydney on Australia Day so we could enjoy the fireworks from the water, too. “Most of the voyage led up to Command Day, the 24 hours when the ‘youthies’ take complete control of the ship. We had elections for all the command roles and I was lucky enough to be chosen as a watch leader, so I can say that the ‘development’ side of the program is no joke. I never would have volunteered for a position like that before the voyage, or had the courage to stand up in front of the crew and make a speech about it. “There were a series of challenges we had to complete along with reaching our sailing checkpoints, like making a hammock that would fit the whole crew, writing an epic poem, and delivering ‘educational briefs,’ which was a personal highlight as I gave the crew a crash course in Irish dancing, with hilarious results. “I have now signed up as an ambassador too so I’m looking forward to getting involved with the Young Endeavour in the future and maybe even tackling one of the World Voyages one day. “Overall it surpassed all my expectations, and I’d recommend to anyone who’s 16-23 and looking for an adventure – you may surprise yourself.”

An extra 10 rail services for Shepparton FROM Monday, April 1, an additional 10 weekly rail services will be introduced to the Shepparton line following upgrades made as part of the Shepparton Line Upgrade. The upgrades will also deliver up to a 20-minute travel time reduction between Melbourne and Shepparton. The extension of an early morning Seymour train has made it possible for passengers to commute to work in Shepparton before 9am weekdays. Two extra weekday trains have also been added, a mid-
morning train from Shepparton to Melbourne and an afternoon peak service between Melbourne and Seymour. The stabling upgrade allows two trains to be stored at Shepparton Station overnight, enabling the boost in services on the line. Work is now underway on stage two of the Shepparton Line Upgrade, which will allow VLocity trains to travel to and from Shepparton for the first time. During the next four weeks, crews will excavate 22
test pits and drill six boreholes between Nagambie and Shepparton to better understand ground conditions and soil quality in the project area. This will inform the design of the stage two works, which includes platform extensions, level crossing upgrades, signalling and track upgrades and a new stabling facility north of Shepparton to house VLocity trains. The new timetable will be available online at ptv.vic.gov. au and at staffed V/Line stations and from March 1.
Cobram blaze cause still unknown By David Lee INVESTIGATIONS into the cause of the fire that tore through the Cobram Hotel in the early hours of Monday morning last week are continuing, with investigators expecting an answer this week. About 13 f i ref ig ht i ng appl ia nc e s , i nclud i ng t he aerial appl ia nce f rom Shepparton and trucks from as far as Bendigo and NSW, took a little under two hours to bring the fire under control, which began at the 126 year old Station Street hotel at 7:30am. The fire is believed to have started in the office area of the building on the ground floor, spreading to the second floor. CFA District 22 Headquarters operations officer, Peter Bell, who is one of the investigators, said, “The operator of the venue was preparing to open the premises and went upstairs to have a shower, when he
smelled the smoke but got out without any injuries. “Two rooms were fire damaged, including the office on the ground floor and lounge room on the first floor. The remainder of the property has suffered smoke damage and water damage and is expected to cost a large amount to repair. “The fire has been investigated and deemed not suspicious. At this stage we don’t have a definitive cause as we are still working through it. “We are hoping to have an answer within the coming week. “It was a great effort from the volunteers who turned out to fight the fire.” HISTORIC HOTEL FIRE… The cause of a fire that damaged the Cobram Hotel last week is still yet to be determined but has been deemed not suspicious.

Hundreds gather to honour Stolen Generation By David Lee A SPECIAL morning breakfast was held in the Queens Gardens on Wednesday last week, where more than 400 members of the local community came together to honour the Stolen Generations. The event, which acknowledged the 11th anniversary of the National Apology, was initiated following the National Apology in 2008, which was attended by locals, Fran Smullen and Renee Dean. On their way back to Shepparton they wondered how to do something locally that recognised that. They wanted local non-Aboriginal people to understand what the apology meant and symbolised for members of the stolen generations, their families and communities and all Aboriginal people.
Co-convener, Dierdre Robertson, said, “The wider community are not responsible for what happened in the past but they are involved in the future and what happens in the future. “We involve all secondary schools and some primary schools, which is really great. Our children are the future so it is important. “T h is yea r we had st udents f rom Goulburn Valley Grammar School, Olivia Bolton and Patrick Bolton, read the apology. “Members of the wider community hearing young people stand up and talk about the impact of the apology on them today and the Stolen Generation, shows the flow-on, intergenerational effects. “This year, Ebony Joachim was one of

It was a really powerful speech by Kim. “Eric Brown then played the didgeridoo while we had a minute of silence, which was very powerful. Then we had Lillie Walker finish off by singing.

Australian buyer primed to take over SPC continued from front page By David Lee The latest write-down, which takes SPC’s book value down by $146.9M, follows a $172M write-down in 2016, a $404M write-down in 2014, $146M in restructuring charges and asset writedowns in 2013 and a $80.5M charge in 2012. Reg said, “Specifics of these offers are confidential, but we’re seeing some solid Australian and international interest. “Parties in this process clearly recognise the value in SPC’s iconic brands, the strategic location of our manufacturing assets in the heart of the Goulburn Valley, and our proximity to fast growing export markets like China. “It also ref lects the significant transformation of SPC’s Shepparton manufacturing site and the state-of-the-art processing and packaging capability that is available to potential buyers of SPC. “The overall level of interest is recognition of the inherent value of Australian agricultural assets and the iconic nature of SPC and its market leading brands.” “While accounting standards necessitate this impairment, it does not reflect SPC’s market value or the offers received and doesn’t indicate any change to SPC’s publicly reported outcomes. “We see a positive future for SPC as a market leader in processed fruit and vegetables. The sale process is about unlocking this future value.” Mr Weine said there were no changes to SPC jobs, production or operations as a consequence of the impairment and it was business as usual at all SPC sites.

iPads enrich verbal interaction By David Lee BANK First (formerly Victoria Teachers Mutual Bank), in conjunction with Gandel Philanthropy, one of Australia’s largest independent family philanthropic funds, have jointly donated $80,000 to purchase the iPads which will be distributed to the nonverbal school students attending the 80 specialist schools within Victoria, allowing them to communicate with their families, teachers, carers and friends through the app ‘Words for Life.’ SSR CEO, Sue Karzis believes that by
providing nonverbal children with an iPad enables them to have their own voice at all times. “It is amazing how fast the iPads have gone. Receiving so many applications from schools shows us the need out there for assistance in helping non-verbal students to better communicate with their teachers and loved ones using technology. “At SSR we believe in removing barriers to education. The provision of iPads for non-verbal children in specialist schools is one way that we can ensure that no child or

Photos from left: VENICE BEACH… Jenaya riding around Venice Beach, California. CHRISTMAS TREE… Rockerfeller Centre Christmas Tree in New York. ICE SKATING… From left, sisters, Jenaya and Candice Bell ice skating at the Rockerfeller Centre on Christmas Day.
AS THE song says what a hell of a town and for sisters, Jenaya and Candice Bell it was a dream come true. They had talked about it for some time but kept putting it off but this time they decided to make it a reality and spend Christmas and New Year in New York. They flew out on December 23 via L.A. to New York. It was cold; no snow but very cold. But they came prepared and dressed in layers including a beanie, scarf and gloves. But despite the cold the atmosphere was so full on it made you feel warm; the people, the lights, Christmas windows in the stores and that huge Christmas Tree in Times Square. It was fabulous. First stop was the Rockefeller Center and up to the top of The Rock. Jenaya says the view from the top was incredible. Next day they hired skates and went ice skating at the Rockefeller Center with lots of other tourists They had breakfast in Central Park then hired bikes and rode through the park. It’s such a big open area right in the centre of the city. That night they looked for a special restaurant for dinner and found a Greek restaurant with lots of Christmas decorations. The next day they took a ferry out to the Statue of Liberty. There were a lot of people, but it was worth the effort as it’s such an impressive sight. Next they visited the memorial to 9/11. It is so interesting and again there were lots of people. The museum to 9/11 is a must see. Jenaya says it was so moving they spent three hours there. Then it was onto Wall Street and the
statue of the charging bull. They found the best way to get around was on the subway. They went to Brooklyn for a bit of shopping then used the subway to visit many of the satellite towns to New York. Back in New York they got ready to celebrate New Year. In Times Square that big ball was getting ready to drop but it was cold and the crowds so huge they decided to go back to their hotel and watch it on television. Jenaya can really recommend visiting New York at this time of year. The atmosphere and the shopping are incredible despite the cold and the winter markets have great specials on offer. It was time to leave New York. They flew to L.A. and spent seven days drinking in all that it has to offer; Hollywood, Disneyland, and those tours of the homes of the rich and famous…it’s all there. Disneyland was great fun but it was the holiday season and the crowds were so big you had to wait up to 90 minutes in the queue to enter an attraction, but they persevered and really enjoyed themselves. They spent the whole day there and stayed for the Grand Christmas Parade that night. It was incredible. While in L.A. they attended a Lakers basketball game, toured Hollywood and even climbed to the sign, sought out some great restaurants and did lots of shopping. Both Jenaya and Candice have now ticked that off their bucket list but yes they would go back. New York has a lot to offer, what a hell of a town.

$750,000 in standpipe upgrades set to begin A $748,000 standpipe upgrade project has already started in Cobram, and is expected to continue in Shepparton, Numurkah, Nathalia, Mansfield, Euroa, Seymour, Nagambie, Tatura and Alexander in the coming months. The Goulburn Valley Water (GVW) project, which is expected to be completed in 2020, has already seen an upgrade recently completed at Karook Street, Cobram, which was opened on February 7. The old site at Mill Street (off Terminus Road) has now been decommissioned. Sites to be upgraded within the next two months include Shepparton (Florence Street), Numurkah, Nathalia and Mansfield. A schedule for upgrades at Euroa, Seymour (Delatite Road), Kilmore, Rushworth, Nagambie, Shepparton (Daldy Road), Tatura and Alexandra will be finalised soon for completion by June 30. Standpipe sites in Euroa and Tatura will also be relocated to improve access and eliminate safety concerns. GVW project coordinator, Ian Matheson said the upgrades aimed to make it easier and faster for people to access the standpipes. “The new system will allow people to access the standpipe instantly, rather than waiting to be approved,” Ian said. “The access from the new standpipe is much safer compared to the overhead-fill systems, and will reduce the amount of paperwork that needs to be completed.”
WORKING TO FINALISE REPORT… Greater Shepparton City Council has prepared the Draft Wanganui Road and Ford Road Shepparton Feasibility Study Design Report 2018 and is expected to release it for public comment at a later stage. Image: Supplied.
Council prepares draft Wanganui and Ford Road feasibility study A DRAFT Wanganui Road and Ford Road Shepparton Feasibility Study Design Report 2018 has been prepared by Greater Shepparton City Council and after undergoing updates later this year, is expected to be released for public comment. The draft report is an investigative study into the upgrade of Ford and Wanganui Roads to serve as a key east-west arterial route connecting Stage 1 of the Shepparton Bypass with the Shepparton Alternative Route (Grahamvale Road). A Greater Shepparton City Council spokesperson said, “Based on the feedback received, council is continuing to work with GTA Consultants Pty Ltd and Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) to finalise the updated draft report. At the
Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1444 Wednesday, February 20, 2019
same time, RRV is completing further planning studies on the wider-Shepparton road network to help inform the ultimate design for Ford and Wanganui Roads. “A critical component of these planning studies is the completion of an updated traffic model. This information will allow an updated draft report to be finalised later in 2019. “Once finalised, it is likely it will be recommended that council release the updated draft report for further public comment. As part of this process, further targeted consultation would be undertaken with directly impacted landowners and occupiers of land. Any further consultation would likely take place later in 2019.”
Regional Victoria building growth outdoing Melbourne THE recent release of statistics from the ABS for building approvals data for December 2018 has shown that regional Victoria continues to outperform the Melbourne region. According to the statistics, greater recent growth (relative to the August 2016 quarter peak in Melbourne) came from Geelong (up by 29.2 percent) and Shepparton (up by 27.4 percent). H I A regional executive director Victoria, Fiona Nield said, “We have seen building activity in Melbourne slow towards the end of 2018 but this slowdown is not state-wide. “Since the peak in approvals in Melbourne in the August 2016 quarter, approvals have fallen 22.5 percent to this December 2018 quarter. This puts them down 2.5 percent from their longer term average. “Regional Victoria however, is up 17.2 percent since Melbourne’s peak and up 22.8 percent from its longer term average. “The strength in Regional Victoria provides a solid offset for any declines we might see as building approvals slow in Melbourne. “Continued population growth and infrastructure investment by the State Government will support strong levels of building activity for the state.”

Dreams come true for Supercar driver SHEPPARTON has a new Supercars driver. Local driver, Garry Jacobson has just signed on for the 2019 season with Kelly Racing in association with RABBLE.club. In a deal, Shepparton-based Jacobson will fulfil his longheld dream of becoming a Supercars star. Jacobson formed part of the Kelly Racing (nee Nissan Motorsport) squad in 2018 in the PIRTEK Enduro Cup with Rick Kelly and will take to the wheel of the RABBLE. club backed Nissan Altima at the Superloop Adelaide 500, February 28 to March 3. Jacobson will line up in the Kelly Racing squad alongside team owner, Rick Kelly, Simona de Silvestro and Andre Heimgartner. Significantly, Jacobson, whose day job is to pilot a school bus for the family transport company, will become the first driver from Shepparton to race in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship full-time. Jacobson said, “I’m absolutely thrilled that we’ve been able to piece this deal together. It’s been a tough summer, trying to stay focused while all the negotiations have been
taking place between my management team, RABBLE.club, other sponsors and the team. “I can’t thank Rick and Todd Kelly and the entire Kelly Racing outfit enough for presenting this opportunity. “Since I was a kid racing karts at Numurkah I dreamed of the day of turning up to Adelaide for the first round and now that day is upon us. “This is a proud day also for Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley to finally have a full time Supercars driver from the region. With Winton just down the road, the interest in the sport is strong in the region and as I’ve done since I started my racing career, I’m proud of where I’m from and have done everything I can to positively promote Shepparton, the Goulburn Valley and everything it has to offer.” SHEPPARTON’S FIRST SUPERCAR STAR… Local racing driver, Garry Jacobson has just become Shepparton’s first ever full time Supercar driver to race in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

Baring almost all for children’s foundation By David Lee MORE than 88 runners bared almost all on Sunday, donning a pair of undies for the first ever Shepparton Cupid’s Undie Run event. Held at Victoria Park Lake, the event is in its fourth year and is the largest community fundraising event for the Children’s Tumour Foundation and on the day saw over $3,000 raised for the foundation. There were 18 locations across the country on Sunday running the event. Local event organiser, Danny Wynn got involved because of his son, Xavier, who was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (NF) at just two years old. NF is an illness causes tumours to grow on the end of nerve cells and sadly, Xavier has a major tumour running from his hip right up around his spine and also has one on the brain. Xavier’s great grandfather, Bob Williams said, “The event was fantastic. Could not have been better. “We were hoping to get about 60 participants so to get 88 was fantastic. We are looking at doing even better next year. “Xavier is the happiest little chap and to think he has so many problems but he just gets on with life is nothing short of amazing. “To be able to support a charity that is close to our hearts is massive. We are so appreciative of the support from the wider community and businesses alike. It has been so heartwarming to have that.”

COUNTRY tennis is an enormous part of living in the Goulburn Valley and it has been a crucial part of our history right since the start. Recently, thousands of tennis enthusiasts flocked to Shepparton to compete and conquer on the Shepparton Lawn courts as part of the Tennis Victoria Country Week. Also, in early March, Bumbartha Tennis Club will celebrate its centenary with a special book released in conjunction with Lost Shepparton and the Shepparton Heritage Centre. Grab your circular, wooden tennis racquet and lob a long shot back to Greater Shepparton’s past, with special thanks to Akers Family, Robert Dodds, Lost Shepparton and the Shepparton Heritage Centre for providing the photos.
