AS OF last week changed traffic conditions began occurring in Nixon Street between Skene Street and Railway Parade as Greater Shepparton City Council started works that will see additional parking spaces added. Running over various dates until June 29, the community is being reminded to take

note of the reduced speed limits between 7am to 5pm each day that works occur. A Greater Shepparton City Council spokesperson said, “Council is implementing some improvements to the area providing 30 additional car parking spaces, including centre of the road parking

A ‘Fairley’ new mug look H LAST week the Fairley Leadership Program launched a new look mug, which features a design commissioned by local contemporary artists, Tank. Fairley Leadership Program programs facilitator, Fiona Smolenaars said, “If you see someone with a Fairley Leadership mug, it is a sure sign that person has been a guest speaker of the Fairley Leadership Program at some stage over the past decade. “Each year the program has approximately 120 guests, speaking on an array of leadership topics. As a thank you for their time and shared knowledge, they are presented with a mug. “Michael Leunig was commissioned in 2006 to design the first Fairley Leadership mug, which features one of the familiar Leunig characters (a duck) that is reaching for the stars and trying to make the world a better place, by providing good community leaders. “This year we decided it was time for a

Magic of Melbourne Cup coming to Shepparton LOCAL residents will get the chance to get a glimpse of the iconic 18-carat gold Lexus Melbourne Cup on August 3, when it comes to Shepparton as part of the 16th annual tour. Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said being part of the tour will be an unforgettable experience. “Hosting the iconic trophy will be a wonderful experience for Shepparton. Each year our town embraces the Melbourne Cup and we are looking forward to sharing the magic of the ‘People’s Cup’ with the

Shepparton community,” Cr O’Keeffe said. Victoria Racing Club (VRC) chairman, Amanda Elliott said, “The appeal of our illustrious race stretches far beyond Flemington. The Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour gives us an important opportunity to share the magic of the cup with people everywhere. “The tour has become one of the most important things we do at the VRC. We are custodians of something that means so much to so many – a day of national unity symbolised by the iconic three-handled cup.”

Lexus Australia chief executive, Scott Thompson said Lexus is thrilled to be a key partner in such an important VRC activity. “The Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour is a special event in its own right that perfectly befits the iconic and globally-significant Lexus Melbourne Cup. “As the new naming rights sponsor, we are delighted to play our part in providing the opportunity for so many people both locally and abroad to experience this iconic trophy firsthand.”

Role for Shepparton health services in sector review INDEPENDENT Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed wants to see community health centres in the region consulted as part of a state-wide effort to strengthen the sector. Ms Sheed said it was vital that frontline organisations such as Primary Care Connect in Shepparton were engaged by a new expert taskforce set up to identify a shared vision and priorities for community health and has called on the Minister for Health to outline the nature of their involvement.

“Indeed, the auditor-general’s report into the Victorian Community Health Prog ra m hig hlig hts sig nificant and very disappointing shortcomings in how community health services are funded, delivered and evaluated to ensure they are meeting the demands of our priority populations,” Ms Sheed said. “Community health services offer a range of preventative programs and health management services that keep people out of hospital and need to be sufficiently resourced to do this important work.

“I welcome the announcement of an expert taskforce and would urge the government to ensure regional and rural service providers are consulted extensively in the preparation of any recommendations – particularly those in the north of the state, including Shepparton district, which were not included in the auditor-general’s report. “As workers at the coal face of the sector, they and the communities they serve are ideally placed to contribute to any process to develop a stronger community health sector.”

Fonterra announces milk price forecast FONTERRA Australia has announced its forecast closing farmgate milk price for the 2018/19 season, which is in the range of $5.50 to $6.20 per kilogram of milk solids (kgMS). The range is based on market indications which show a continued positive global supply and demand picture. Demand is expected to remain strong – especially from China and for butter and AMF – and the global dairy market’s current prices are expected to continue throughout the new season. Fonterra Australia managing director, René Dedoncker said Fonterra remains committed to paying its farmers a price that is market-based, competitive, and sustainable. “We are keeping to our promise to provide farmers with clear marketbased signals in advance of the new season to allow them to budget and plan. “Earlier this year we launched Farm Source in Australia – a comprehensive package of tools and services to assist farmers with farm business management – which is changing the way we work with our farmers. The Farm Source online income estimator will be available in the coming weeks to provide our farmers with the ability to scenario plan for next season. “Our business is in good shape as we continue to focus on driving sustainable performance. “We’re building long-term relationships with strategic partners, and with cheese markets like China and Japan, to tap into growing domestic and global demand which is providing more opportunities to grow the value of our farmers’ milk. At the same time, we continue to make efficiency improvements which means we have the right asset base to play to our strengths in cheese, whey and nutritionals. “We are confident that our strategy and the strength of our three business channels – Consumer, Foodservice and Ingredients – will enable us to continue to pay a competitive price next season. We expect seasonal growth from our existing farmers to continue next season which will meet our customer demand. “We will announce our opening price in the coming weeks,” Mr Dedoncker said.

Local H firefighters S receive $53,841 in funding VOLUNTEER firefighters in Shepparton from District 22 have received a $53,841 grant for new equipment, thanks to a new Andrews Labor Government-funded program.

Letters to the Editor CULTURAL CRINGE

Dear Editor, The late Paul Ramsay AO was a leading Australian businessman who was passionate about education and wished to educate future generations in the traditions and practices of western civilization; its history, philosophy, literature, science, theology, music, art and architecture. He left behind a huge bequest to fund teaching in these areas. The Ramsay Centre has now been established to (in the words of its own charter) ‘advance education by promoting studies and discussion associated with the establishment and development of western civilization, including through establishing scholarship funds and educational courses in partnership with universities.’ Earlier this year the centre entered into discussions with the Australian National University towards developing a joint programme of studies in the humanities. Following widespread condemnation from factions within the ANU the centre’s approach has now been

firmly rebuffed. Objections were all too predictable; the ‘Eurocentric’ view of the world, according to objectors, is essentially racist, classist, homophobic and sexist. All the old tags. Universities may legitimately be allowed to have Centres of Asian Studies (Melbourne), Southeast Asian Studies (Monash), or Indigenous Studies (Charles Sturt), but Western Studies are entirely on the nose in radical circles. We all owe so much to the western - and Christian – tradition. The rule of law, music and painting of the very finest ever produced by mankind, great literature, science and enquiry, the thirst for social justice, freedom of speech (even the freedom to talk arrant nonsense, so useful to the enemies of civilization) – all these things are blessings for the whole world. How long will public bodies such as universities and broadcasters kowtow to the loudest tirades against our culture and the crudest parodies of our history? The west has given so much to the whole world. But it has not been a one-way street: our culture was and

continues to be the beneficiary of many others. So an educational system that encourages the limiting of knowledge by allowing some fields of study and blocking out others is simply a disgrace and deserves our scorn. Gilbert and Sullivan offer the most suitable comment: ‘The idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone. All centuries but this, and every country but his own…’ Yours sincerely, David Daintree Director Christopher Dawson Centre for Cultural Studies Tasmania Want to have your say?

$20M highway upgrade project begins A $20M project to improve the safety and efficiency of Victoria’s Murray Valley Highway between Echuca and Yarrawonga is underway, with work starting recently on upgrading the Scobie Road intersection in Wyuna. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for I nfrast r uc t u re and Transpor t , Michael McCormack said the upgrade wou ld help reduce crashes at t he intersection. “There was a double fatality at this intersection in September 2017, so these works are an example of the Australian Government’s commitment to improving the safety of our regional road networks,” Mr McCormack said. The upgrade will also boost freight produc tivit y and will make a big difference to the approximately 4,600 vehicles in Echuca and 4,400 vehicles in Yarrawonga that use this section of the highway daily. Federal Member for Murray, Damian Drum said as part of the upgrade, a traffic island would be built to improve visibility at the intersection. “This change to the layout of the intersection will also provide more space for interstate and regional freight traffic travelling to north and northeast Victoria,” Mr Drum said.

Safest child car seats revealed in latest round of ratings CHOOSING the safest way for Victorians to transport their most precious cargo has been made easier, with the release of the latest national child car seat safety ratings. The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) has released the findings after 13 seats were tested through the Child Restraint Evaluation Program (CREP), which aims to highlight the safest child car seats and encourage manufacturers to produce safer and easier to use options. While all 13 seats (representing 22 different modes) complied with the Australian Safety Standard, the CREP system rates the products on how far they exceed the standard.

One rear-facing seat, the Nuna Klik achieved the maximum 5-star protection rating. One booster seat scored 4-stars for both protection and ease-of-use. Six seats got only 1-star for protection. TAC senior road safety specialist, David Young said the ratings were an important resource for parents and carers when choosing the safest car seat. “When travelling with a child, it is crucial that you are giving them the best possible protection by choosing the safest car seat you can and ensuring that it is properly fitted,” Mr Young said.

“There are many child car seats on the market and these ratings help remove a lot of the confusion parents face when they are ready to buy.” VicRoads acting director of road user and vehicle access, James Soo said, “Child car seats are incredibly effective in protecting children in the event of a crash or heavy braking but only when they are fitted correctly.” Parents and carers can find the ratings at www.childcarseats. com.au, where they can compare different models and learn more about using seats correctly and the legal requirements for child car seats.

Flu vaccine shortage hitting home PRIORITY groups for receiving free flu vaccine include children aged six months to less than five years*, people aged five years and over who have certain medical conditions which increase the risk of inf luenza disease complications; for example, severe asthma, lung or heart disease, low immunity or diabetes*, pregnant women anytime during pregnancy, Aboriginal people aged 15 years and over and adults aged 65 years and older. (*Any child aged less than nine years of age who is receiving influenza vaccine needs to receive two doses of flu vaccine one month apart in their first year of flu vaccination. However, if two doses weren’t given in their first year and the child is now in their second year or later of receiving the vaccine, a single dose only is given.) Greater Shepparton City Council Team Leader Environmental Health, Lisa Eade said, “We have a very limited supply of the vaccine left but we are taking bookings for

high risk category patients. People can give us a call and let us know what age group or risk category they are in and we will hopefully be able to give them a vaccine. “It puts these people in these high risk groups at greater risk of complications if they get influenza so that’s why they are targeting those groups. “A lot of people would normally go to the GP to source the GP but we are finding that many people are calling us because their GP has run out. “We urge people to call around to providers who have the vaccine in stock.” Health Minister, Jill Hennessy has written to the Commonwealth Minister for Health asking him to take measures to help improve the supply of influenza vaccines for all groups, especially for the most vulnerable and has asked Commonwealth S er u m L aboratories to produce a n additional half a million vaccines for Australia.

Shepparton Bottle-O under new management T H E Bot tle- O has over 30 0 stores nationwide and is continually growing. The Shepparton Bottle-O Warehouse has recently undergone a make-over and is now under new management. Shepparton Bottle-O Warehouse store manager, Jacque Wayman said, “The Bottle-O brand is owned and operated independently with many stores nationwide, we have excellent buying power which enables us to offer everyday lower prices as well as offer excellent specials.

“The newly refurbished store allows customers to enjoy a greater shopping experience with a massive range of international and local wines as well as beers and spirits.” Shepparton’s Bottle-O Warehouse is located on the corner of High Street and St Georges Road, Shepparton and is open until 11pm seven days a week with plenty of free on-site customer parking. Phone 5831 3833 for more information.

SEVER AL tree protection bollards in Hogan Street, Tatura will be relocated in an effort to improve parking accessibility for drivers. The round bollards were first installed 12 months ago to replace the original metal tree guards and to stop trees being damaged by cars hitting them. The parking bays where bollards will be moved are located between Park Street and the railway line. Approximately 22 bollards will be relocated during the month of June. Greater Sheppa r ton Cit y C ou nci l Director Infrastructure/City Engineer,

Phil Hoare said, “The trees enhance the environment and provide shade in the summer so it’s important we maintain some protection so they continue to flourish. “I n consultation w ith com mu nit y members we have decided to move some of the bollards closer to the kerb to assist entry and exit to car parks. The alternative is to reduce the number of parks. “ We e x p e c t wo rk s to t a ke approximately two weeks dependant on weather.”

Cinema upgrade moving forward continued from front page By David Lee WITH plans having been in the pipeline for over two years, Shepparton’s Village Cinema complex is taking the first steps towards an estimated $100,000 upgrade, with works expected to begin from the weekend just gone and the refurbished complex to be completed by June 25. T he S heppa r ton fac i l it y i s s e t to get a complete foyer refresh involving replacement of all carpet to look more earthy, modern and abstract and the replacement of the pastel colour on the walls with more earthy, modern shades.

Village Cinemas chief operating officer, Gino Munari said, “When it is completed it will look like and feel like a different cinema. “A f u l l , e l a b o r a t e e x p a n s i o n i s something under consideration for down the track, partly because we are looking to the future to what the cinema goer and consumer are going to want in 10 years time, which will be different than what exists today. “ We a re lo ok i ng at t he d i re c t ion that the cinema space entails as far as the ultimate customer experience and jou r n e y, i n c lud i n g w h at s e at s w i l l look like, how we weave in serving of

a lcohol ic b everage s , fo o d , ba r…t he whole entertainment offering. So when we do embark on an elaborate expansion it will be something pretty special and relevant to the next generation of movie goers. “Movie goers will get to experience the new look cinema while it is taking shape and after its completion at a range of upcoming movies including Incredibles 2 on June 14, Ju rassic World Fallen Kingdom on June 21, Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 5, Skyscraper with Dwayne Johnson on July 12 , Mama Mia Here We Go Again on July 19 and Mission Impossible Fallout on August 2.”

Photos: Lost Shepparton Facebook page.

An icon that taught us to be careful By David Lee THERE is almost not a person in Shepparton that doesn’t know what a Careful Cobber Car is…I remember driving one at DECA in grade 6 and have fond memories driving (very slowly) around the purpose made track. The idea of the Careful Cobber Cars evolved from another dream that Eric Montgomery held in the back of his head. His vision was for a miniature model car that would accommodate young drivers from around the age of 5 to 12-14 years. During the preparation period of the cars, Eric contacted Alan Salisbury (Snake cartoonist) to design a front for the cars and then contacted senior instructor and qualified engineer, George Hill to design and construct the mechanical requirement for the cars and the iconic look and drive of the Careful Cobber Car was born. The engine was a Honda 4 stroke, petrol powered single cylinder motor teamed with a low ratio gearbox and centrifugal clutch

enabling easy throttle control for children. Each ‘Cobber’ sported two horsepower, which delivered a 5km/h cruise speed and 7 km/h top speed, with acceleration from 0km/h to 7km/h under five seconds. The project, which became iconic in children’s road safety education during the 1980s and 1990s, was initiated in 1978 and was officially launched by the then Minister for Education, Lindsay Thompson at the Goulburn Valley Driver Training Complex (which became DECA) on March 30, 1979. In 1985 during their royal visit, the late Princess Dianna alongside her husband, Prince Charles Windsor even had the chance to ride specially made Carful Cobber Cars. After almost 28 years and more than 250,000 students having completed the Careful Cobber Car program, the sad day came when it was given the axe in 2008. Information on the history of the Careful Cobber Car was sourced from Beryl Goodfellow’s ‘The DECA Dream’ book.

AWAITING THE TRIP TO ATHENS… The view from Santorini down onto the bay below where our cruise ship waits to sail to Athens.

IT’S 4am and our pilot has boarded. We set sail through the Suez Canal. It will be a long day. The distance to the Mediterranean is under 200km but we will not arrive until 5pm today.

Everyone is up on deck. There’s an excitement in the air. All these ships are lined up in single file making their way through. It’s desert sand on either side, then patches of green and buildings and then sand again. There have been some construction of houses here and there but the big one is now underway. At Ismailia the Egyptian government is building a new city and it is huge, standing on the bank of the canal the construction goes on for kilometres. When completed it will provide accommodation for 500,000 people and those people will be moved here from Egypt’s over crowded cities. Also, construction is underway to build tunnels under the canal for cars and trucks and one for pipelines to bring water from the Nile to Egypt’s desert regions. Each ship that transits the canal has two tugboats; one at the bow the other at the transom and together, with the pilot on board, they keep the ship centred in the canal. About half way the canal opens out into a lake. Ships can stop here and anchor until their continued transit is confirmed. The canal, which separates Africa from Asia, has saved shipping from the long way round but it’s not cheap. A ship like a big cruise liner could be up for $650,000 for the transit one way. We reach the mouth of the canal and our transit is complete. We have reached the Mediterranean and are now heading to Athens and the Greek Islands. We have another stop along the way. Our ship has come to a dead stop and I open the curtains to my balcony to find we are anchored in the centre of an ancient volcano. Up on the rim of the volcano it looks like snow but no this is Santorini. These are the white houses and businesses glowing in the morning sun that form the playground of the rich and famous. The water is so deep that the captain uses sonar to find an underwater mountain to drop the anchor right on top. Small transfer boats are used to take us ashore. There are three ways to get up the steep climb to the top, walk up a zigzag stairway, ride a donkey up that same stairway (not a good option with slippery donkey droppings all around} or take the chairlift… option three was the one for me. Santorini is abuzz with activity. The little laneways are filled with boutique shopping

Page 18 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1409 Wednesday, June 13, 2018

and cafés. The food is excellent and the local wine is a must try. These are some of the world’s oldest vineyards and the rich volcanic soil produces a full bodied wine. The vines are trained to grow in a basket shape. The grapes grow inside and are protected from the harsh sun and winds. Santorini was formed after huge volcanic eruptions in 1650BC that laid waste to the area but as time went on people began to populate the rim and Santorini was born. Its capital, Fira, attracts thousands of tourists each year. But all good things must come to an end. We are now heading for the port of Piraeus and Athens, the birthplace of democracy. I have been here twice before and am always amazed at how welcome the locals make you feel. Nothing is too much trouble. When asking for directions people make that extra effort to help you. Athens is dominated by the Acropolis standing above the city. It’s a big climb to the top, some 80 steps straight up. From on top the view is incredible. The ancient buildings, the Parthenon, Erechtheion and much more. The view over the city below is spectacular with so much to see. I went strolling through the Plaka, the old city. Its narrow streets are filled with boutiques, gift shops and every now and then an ancient building stands before you. There are so many must-sees including the National Archaeological Museum, which holds a wondrous display from ancient times. One of the easier ways to get around is on the hop-on-hop-off bus. It takes you everywhere; the ancient Olympic Stadium built in 1896 and hosted the summer Olympics in 2004, Temple of Zeus, Parliament House with its guards in their pleated uniforms and entertaining walk. The bus stops at every other major site. There’s even a bus that will take you to Athens’ beaches all on the same ticket. If you have time to get out of town there is so much ancient history to see, but on this trip we have only one day in port so at the end of the day explore Athens’ café culture. As the sun begins to set we are getting ready to set sail. Another day at sea before we reach our next port of call, Valletta. To be continued! Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance

In the background, housing is being built to accommodate 500,000 people and water will be piped in from the Nile to create an oasis. 3| A HOLIDAY PARADISE… Looking like snow on the rim of an ancient volcano these are the buildings of Santorini, the holiday paradise. 4| ACROPOLIS WATCHES OVER… In Athens the city centre is busy. In the old city, the Plaka, restaurants abound with the Acropolis in the background looking down on Athens.

2018

IT WAS not that long ago that these two proud clubs met in a GVL grand final but this week’s match of the round between Mooroopna and Shepparton United will be just as close and hard fought as that epic contest in 2011. It’s 10th versus 11th and the form lines are reasonably comparable. A sensational win by 86 points last week by the Cats has given the whole club an injection of enthusiasm and the prospect of two wins in a row is not something they have experienced for a number of years. Big bad bustling Bob Osborne kicked three goals last week and would love nothing more than a handful against his former club. Ash Hockey was in the goals last week too along with a best afield performance from Aaron French with both looking to repeat that this week. United is a young side with many players from their thirds premiership sides of the last couple of years and performing well.

Jack Norman and Jye Limosani are two of them who are travelling nicely along with the experience of Shane Neaves, Shane Sali and former Abikhair Medalist, Ben Pedretti who has been strutting his stuff through the midfield. Both sides only win this year has been against an under manned Shepparton Swans side so this will be the contest both clubs can start to build from for next season. The Demons look a little better on paper but there is no doubt the Cats are a better side at home and are chock full of confidence. The Dees will just sneak over the line in a tight one. In other games the Shepparton Bears will thump the Swans, Kyabram will collect win number 52 at Kings Park versus Seymour, Benalla will defeat Mansfield in the snow, Rochester at home will just beat Echuca and Euroa will steal the points at Tatura Park versus the Bulldogs.

Learn to empower and protect yourself

LEARNING techniques that could save your life is not something you come across every day, but Gracie Jiu Jitsu is offering to teach local women just that in their free selfdefence seminar. The Women Empowered program will teach participants six techniques that can save their lives through a special two hour session that is designed for first-time self-defence students. Instructor, Scott Butler said, “The session will address threat scenarios including how to thwart potential attacks by making yourself a ‘hard target,’ how to break free from an attacker who grabs you without warning, how to avoid being taken to the ground by a determined attacker and how

to escape from underneath an attacker pinning you to the ground. “81 percent of most assaults happen from people that you know. It could be a family member or work colleague. People often want to know how to protect themselves. “It is important that women know how to empower and protect themselves and that what we teach.” The seminar will run on Saturday, June 16 from 12:45pm to 2:45pm at Gracie Jiu Jitsu, 7953 Goulburn Valley Highway, Kialla. RSVP is necessary and can be done so by calling Scott on 0418 149 569, Liz on 0417 143 330 or emailing info@graciejiujitsukialla.com.au

Diversity and inclusion in community sport promoted LOCAL Shepparton Bears and Shepparton Pride Cup player, Ted Lindon helped to launch the Pride Cup Australia #WEAREPRIDECUP campaign last week in Melbourne, which aims to promote LGBTIQ+ inclusion and acceptance in community sporting clubs across the country. With the AFL’s third Pride Game between St Kilda and Sydney Swans having been played over the weekend, Pride Cup Australia, with the support of VicHealth, St Kilda Football Club and Sydney Swans, are encouraging sports clubs across the country to host their own Pride Cup in 2019. Since the first Pride Cup was held in 2014, over a dozen other Victorian grassroots clubs have thrown their support behind the model to make sure that no player, official or fan has to choose between being themselves or the game that they love. Pride Cup Australia co-founder and 2017 Australian Community Leader of the Year, James Lolicato said he hoped Australian sports clubs would jump on board and show their LGBTIQ+ community members they welcome and support them. “As the heart of many communities, sporting clubs have the power to create ripple effects and transform attitudes. Pride Cups have shown us first hand just how valuable this sense of inclusion is,” Mr Lolicato said. The Shepparton Pride Cup game will run on June 23 at the Shepparton Football Club grounds, where Shepparton will take on Mooroopna in both men’s and women’s football games. Clubs interested in hosting a Pride Cup are encouraged to contact Pride Cup Australia at www.pridecup.org.au

Locals honoured on Queen’s Birthday SE V E R A L lo c a ls have b e en honou red for t hei r contributions to the community, each being recognised with a prestigious Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) on the Queen’s Birthday on Monday. Kevin ‘Gunna’ Ryan was recognised for his lifelong contribution to the local community, with over 40 years under his belt being involved in local councils. Starting his local government career at just 24 years of age on the Rodney Shire in 1972, Mr Ryan continued his journey with Greater Shepparton City Council in 1994 where he has had the role of deputy mayor and has been known as a respected councillor. Isobel Hodge from Numurkah was honoured with the OAM for her contributions to the Numurkah community through her musical involvement and more. In 1985, Mrs Hodge formed the Numurkah and District Choristers, but that was just the beginning. She also brought together the Numurkah Singers which she held the role of musical director for 15 years and received a life membership. She also started the singing ensemble, Polyphony and taught music for around 35 years and was also in a quartet that played at Government House. Equine vet, Angus KcKinnon started the Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital in 1988 alongside business partner, Jim Vasey. Having a passion for reproduction, Angus’s extensive research in the area has seen him become a part of several world firsts including the first foal to be produced from intracytoplasmic sperm injection using eggs from a live mare, as well as the birth of a rare donkey via embryo transfer from the biological mother into a surrogate horse. Ninety-two year old, Kenneth Moore of Mooroopna received the prestigious award for his lifetime of service to the local community. The World War II air force veteran has spent decades serving on and with a list of local clubs and organisations including as vice president of the former

Mooroopna Returned Services League. Mr Moore has also spent decades as a member of the Mooroopna Probus Club and Eschol Lodge, the Masons along with serving as president of the Shepparton Bowls Club, Mooroopna Croquet Club and Shepparton Central Rotary Club. Other locals who received the OAM were John David Hanlon of Cobram for service to veterans and their
