VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

Cr Dunscombe: lone voice about press

● Cr Leigh Dunscombe ■ Kinglake Ward Councillor Leigh Dunscombe’s savage attack on The Local Paper appears to be one lone man’s anger at the media doing its job.

Cr Dunscombe questioned the professional integrity of The Local Paper after it truthfully reported that Murrindindi Shire Council would bring down a deficit of at least $2.6 million in the current financial year.

The $2.6 million figure, expected to be the annual loss, was included in the Council’s own financial statements, released at its October 25 meeting.

Cr Dunscombe said it was wrong for The Local Paper to use the word ‘loss’ about the $2.6 million predicted deficit.

The Oxford Dictionary disagrees.

● Dictionaries show ‘loss’ to be a synonym for ‘deficit’ Cr Dunscombe’s used a barrage of insulting words at the October meeting to describe The Local Paper: “Cr Dunscombe labelled the newspaper as “sensationalist”, “disingenuous and deliberately misleading”, guilty of a “grubby attack” with reporting that “does not accurately represent the facts”.

One reader, Ali Meikle, laughed on Facebook: “I think he called you sensational.

Keep up the good work.”

Julie Bateman said: “Yes, Shire have forgotten to tell us all about the surplus funds they do have in reserve. Well time for them to be open and honest and give us the real figures they have spent and received which they seem to not want to hand over to anyone Another reader, Paul Nicholson, said: “Keep up the good work Ash Long!”

■ LOCAL businesses have rallied to demonstrate their confidence in The Local Paper as the region’s leading media outlet.

More than a dozen businesses have signed on as fully-prepaid full-page advertisers for the entire 2018 schedule of 45 issues.

Each of the local companies will have fullpage advertisements in each of the issues from the start of February, until Christmas, next year.

The Yea and Alexandra offices of Landmark Harcourts will combine to present their listings each week in 2018 of the back-page of The Local Paper.

The Country Club Hotel, Yea, operated by John Drysdale and team, will continue its fullpage advertising schedule in 2018, now in the premium Page 2 position.

Halls Funeral Service of Diamond Creek, soon to also expand to Whittlesea, will be seen on Page 5.

Glen Siede of GLA Real Estate, based at Yarra Glen, has confirmed his booking for each week’s inside back cover.

Other Yarra Glen-based ‘every week’ advertisers include Hoogies Hardware, organised

by Michelle Steinecker; and Yarra Valley Brazzen, led by Jon Nixon.

Bruce Clarke of UniversalTrailers and Feeders confirmed on Friday that his business will be seen on Page 4 each week, starting February 7.

Universal will also have a similar advertising program in The Local Paper’s sister publication, the Melbourne Observer.

Other local businesses to sign on for ‘every week’ full-page advertising are McCormack Funerals, led by Ann and Mick McCormack; Northern Sky Limousines, operated by Tony Allen; and Whittlesea ‘H’ Hardware, owned by the Lord family.

Local businesses show their trust in ‘Local Paper’

A 12-month schedule has been organised by Garnet Bailey of Bailey’s Funeral Services.

From further afield, Terry Miller and wife Carol, will promote Terry Miller ConcreteTanks in The Local Paper throughout 2018 with a colour full-page ad.

So too will Kevin and his team at Nalinga Steel and Roofing Supplies.

Continuing for another year in The Local Paper are full-page advertisers including Ivanhoe Cycles, owned by Ken Frank; Show Court Tennis, led by Doug Hamilton; and Dindi Sawmill, owned by Sue and Robin McKinnell.

Over coming weeks, other leading local businesses will be confirming their 2018 advertising schedules in The Local Paper.

All front-page ad spots for 2018 are ‘sold out’. The VIP ‘Page One’ clients for next year include: Neil Beer Seymour, Ruralco/Rodwells, Kellbell, Health Solutions for Every Body, Stockdale and Leggo Lilydale, Seymour and District Vets, Yea Veterinary Hospital, Hillside Fencing and Weed Spraying, Star Tree Services, Betta Home Living Seymour and Alexandra Dental Clinic.

Local business goes on show

● Local business operators, Pauline and Len Lord of Whittlesea ‘H’ Hardware, were pictured at the Whittlesea Show at the weekend. The family has had their business in the area since the 1950s. They had a fascinating display at the Show explaining the history of the timber industry, and Lord’s Timber, in the region.

‘Council needs to balance the books’

● Fiona Mackenzie ■ Political activist Fiona Mackenzie says that Murrindindi Shire Council’s plan to have deficits of $½-million over each of four years, needs to be investigated.

“It really is irresponsible to be spending excessively,” Ms Mackenzie said.

“I used to think that it would be good if people with a good sense of keeping a tight budget became involved in councils but it would be very difficult to be associated if you were outvoted on financial decisions - and it is probably hard to keep track of all the areas too.

“There is a real issue when executive bodies have power and autonomy to spend.”

Ms Mackenzie made her comments on social media, as Local Paper readers discussed Cr Leigh Dunscombe’s criticism of the newspaper ’s reproduction of the Council’s own financial documents.

Reader Julie Bateman said: “The thing that I don't understand is if it was a normal business you can only spend what funds you have and basically spend no more otherwise you'd be bankrupt.

“Even a lot of State Government departments allocated amount of funding for staff, bills, projects etc but have to budget for the year if it runs out you don't get more money.

“It's up to the Councillors to make sure, on behalf of ratepayers who elected them, to keep up to date with financial spending and income to ensure it doesn't go over spending.

“That is why we have them working on our behalf. Some... don't necessarily have ratepayers’ interests or concerns high on their radar,” Ms Bateman said.

● Jacqui Rabel ■ News reached us last Wednesday (Nov. 1) that Yea citizen Jack Russell was making application to take Murrindindi Shire Council to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Good journalism practice dictates that we contact all possible parties to such actions for comments.

So we dutifully sent emails to Murrindindi Council CEO Margaret Abbey, her Communications Manager Jacqui Rabel, Acting CEO Michael Chesworth, and all Councillors.

Council has a Communications Manager, paid a sixfigure sum, who again failed to communicate to us.

● Mr and Mrs Stowwell Marshall at Terangaville, Kerrisdale, 1909.

■ Alan Thorley of the Yea and District Historical Society tells us: Mr and Mrs Stowwell Marshall, of Terangaville Station, Kerrisdale, celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversray on December 11, 1909.

A contemporary report said: “Both of them are Victorians, and claim to be the first native-born whites to be married in the State.

“Mrs Marshall was born in Moonee Ponds in 1844, and Mr Marshall in Lt Collins St in 1839.

“They married December 11, 1859. In 1875, Mr Marshall purchased the well-known Terangaville Station on the Goulburn, near Yea, where he has resided ever since.

“They raised 13 children at Kerrisdale, with 10 surving.

“In May 1895 he applied for a miner’s licence when the Ghin Ghin goldfield was in full swing.

“He died there on October 8, 1911, aged 72 years; and his wife Mary, lived another 19 years, passing away on May 30, 1930, aged 85.”

Both are buried in the Yea Pioneer Cemetery. is estate was valued in 1912 as worth £25,156 real estate and £5741 in personal property which was left to his wife and children.

from last year!

The Councillor in charge of Murrindindi Council’s Corporate and Customer Services is, you guessed it, Cr Leigh Dunscombe.

He is the man who is accusing The Local Paper of a lack of professional integrity.

By refusing to reply to questions from the Press, Cr Dunscombe and team are thumbing their noses at the Murrindindi public.

Good words ■ A good word for ...

Jacqueline Downing, Claire Hooton and their helpers, who oversaw the return of the Yea Railway Market on the first Saturday of the month. Well done.

Fossick praise

■ Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green last week gave a Parliamentary mention to the Fossick store at Diamond Creek.

“The Yan Yean electorate has some amazing traders and traders organisations.

“Diamond Creek is really fortunate to have a fabulous business called Fossick Clothing,” Ms Green said.

“It is run by the wonderful Simone and supported by team members Jodie and Bexie. I had a great time on Sunday. They had their first day of Sunday trading, and then they held an event at Piccolo Meccanico.

“It brought together women of the Diamond Valleyin support of the Uplift Project.

“The Uplift Project provides bras to women in Third World countries and to women in Arnhem Land.

“In the Third World in particular a bra can cost a couple of week’s wages, and women, as we know, will always put their children first.

“Fossick have got a hamper in the shop in Inglis St until the end of November. I urge the women of the Diamond Valley to bring in your second-hand bras, or maybe you would like to buy some new ones and put them in there for the women of the Third World.”

Ms Green read a poem by volunteerKay Arthur.

Great Forest National Park plan in Parliament ■ The idea of a Great Forest National Park - “from Kinglake to Eildon, across Toolangi, Warburton, Healesville and Marysville” was raised in State Parliament last week by Australian Greens MLA Ellen Sandell.

The Greens seek to condemn the Andrews Labor State Government for continued logging in the Central Highlands.

The Greens wish to see the creation of a great national forest park comprising 500,000 hectares.

“This is the first time that the Greens have proposed a matter of public importance,” Ms Sandell said.

“We are only given the opportunity to do so once in a term.

“Today I have put forward a matter that is of great urgency to this state: the need to end native forest logging in Victoria, to create the great forest national park and to protect our forests in Gippsland through the creation of the Emerald link.

“The need to create this great forest national park is incredibly, incredibly urgent, because if we keep logging these forests in the Central High-

● Ellen Sandell MLA (Australian Greens) lands and East Gippsland, within just a year or two there will be no high conservation value forests in these areas left at all. And what an incredibly stark image that is.

“In just a few years these forests could be completely gone, completely wiped off the face of our planet simply because this government allows the logging, the slashing and the burning of these forests just to make cheap paper. This needs to end now.

“We are incredibly lucky in Victoria. We have some of the most precious and the most beautiful native habitat in the world. Some of these forests

are just a stone’s throw away from Melbourne, and these forests are made up of incredibly delicate ecosystems.

“Mountain ash, members may not know, is the tallest flowering plant on the planet.

For Victoria’s precious animal emblem, the Leadbeater’s possum, these forests are their habitat.

“These gorgeous little creatures are critically endangered because of habitat loss. They are so tiny they can fit in the palm of your hand. There are over 30 threatened species that inhabit these incredibly precious forests,” Ms Sandell said. “ I love these forests, and these forests are the reason I got into politics in the first place.

“When I was a student at university and new to Melbourne I went to a talk at my university run by the local environment club, and what I learned at that talk was absolutely shocking.

“I learned that not only does the Victorian government allow the logging of our threatened forests, but actually the Victorian government pays for it,” Ms Sandell said.

Independent joins majority

● Cr Charlie Bisset ■ When King Parrot Ward Councillor Eric Lording sought re-election last year, he held himself out to be independent.

Now, he is very much part of the 7-all majority at Council.

When internet friends were complimenting Mayor Charlie Bisset on a new photo, Cr Lording chimed in with “like a good wine”. The pair previously had a cool relationship when they both worked at the Council.

www.LocalPaper.com.au p

Girls take charge ■ Charlie Bisset has been returned as Mayor at Murrindindi Shire Council, with Sandice McAulay again as her Deputy.

Cr Bisset was returned unopposed at a special meeting held at the Alexandra Council chamber last Wednesday (Nov. 1).

Committee positions remain the same.

At Whittlesea Council, Cr Kris Pavlidis is in the chair. She had an earlier stint as Mayor, 10 years ago.

Cr Emilia Sterjova, of Mernda, has been appointed as Whittlesea’s Deputy Mayor. At age 20, she is the City’s youngest-ever Councillor.

Cr Rhonda Sanderson is Mayor of the Mitchell Shire Council, which is headquartered at Broadford.

Cr Colleen Furlanetto is in her second term as Mayor at Strathbogie Shire.

Cr Paul Volkering is Mayor at Mansfield Shire. Cr Noel Cliff is Mayor of the Yarra Ranges Shire.

Cr Peter Clarke holds the top position at Nillumbik.

■ Ooops! Murrindindi Council had to do a double-take over works that it planned to do on Monday this week (Nov. 6).

It seems as though the Council forgot to talk to locals about maintenance works planned for the Old Yarck Road bridge.

“Based on community feedback about it being scheduled over Cup weekend, Council has decided to postpone these works and will advise of the new closure date shortly,” the Shire said in a lastminute Facebook post at 2.50pm Friday.

Yea races on November 18 ● Cr Emilia Sterjova, Deputy Mayor, and Cr Kris Pavlidis, Mayor, elected last week at the City of Whittlesea ● Daughter Lilly, husband Mike, Cr Charlie Bisset, and son Harry at last Wednesday’s meeting of Murrindindi Council.

Poppy appeal

Glass House Department ■ The Local Paper last week incorrectly named The Fairy Princess at Alexandra as Sandra Poe. Correct spelling of the Sandra’s surname is Roe. Her website is: www.adventuresoftheprincess. com ■ The Local Paper gave Alexandra Lions volunteer Deb Mathieson the wrong surname.

Apologies. Hopefully the gremlins have moved on.

■ The 2017 RSL Poppy Appeal is underway in Yea to November 10. An effort was held in Kinglake over last weekend.

Poppy badges are available in Yea from volunteers manning a table in the mall at Reddrops Foodworks, or from honesty boxes in shops and hotels.

In Kinglake, badges were available with volunteers manning a table at the Kinglake Supermarket.

"Donations are exclusively applied to the welfare of veterans and their dependants," explained Yea-Kinglake RSL President Jeff Swain.

"The Australian Tax Office's charities and not-for-profit conditions apply so no donations are spent on administration or other costs," he said.

Those wishing to make special arrangements to obtain poppy badges can contact Appeal Co-ordinators, Sam Murauer in Yea (0459 572 132) or Peter Crook in Kinglake (5786 2030 or 0427 541 022).

Council fails to contact local people

● Artie Stevens ■ Radio men Artie Stevens (proprietor of AIR News) and Tim Stackpool have voiced promotions for the Yea Race Club meeting on November 18.

Artie is brother-in-law of Yea Race Club President Dennis Smith.

Hub question

Wumindjika Weekend at Yea

■ A Wumindjika (Welcome) Weekend will be held at the Y Water Discovery Centre and Yea Wetlands on Saturday- Sunday (Nov. 11-12) to celebrate the opening of the new indigenous garden, Badji Baanang.

The weekend will include a range of interactive sessions and activities presented by members of the Taungurung Clans Aboriginal Corporation.

Visitors can learn the art of ochre painting and basket weaving, build a Yilam and create a boomerang design. There will be face painting, a Possum Hunt puppet show and necklace and kite making activities.

Activities startat 9am on Saturday with a talk and tour of the garden. A highlight of the weekend will be a traditional Ngarrga-nan (corroboree) held in the Yea Wetlands on Saturday at 8pm. Entry to the corroboree is via the John Cummins Reserve off the

Goulburn Valley Highway. Bringyour-own torches and chairs.

The Badji Baanang garden is a collaborative project between the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, Murrindindi Shire Council, Taungurung Clans Aboriginal Corporation and the Y Water Discovery Centre. Badji Baanang (pronounced ba-dji baa-nang) means 'Oasis’ in Taungurung language. The plants found in the garden are representative of plants

found across Taungurung Country including the high altitude alpine mountains, the foothills of the ranges and the plains into which the rivers and creeks flow.

The garden also incorporates information about indigenous plants and the species that depend on these plants for survival..

A further highlight is the indigenous art fence which features the ancestral beings Bundjil and Waang and designs by artists Cassie Leatham and Mick Harding.

● Danielle Green ■ Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green has asked in Parliament about the progress on a family violence hub in the north-east.

“My question is to the Special Minister of State in the other place (Legislative Council),” Ms Green said.

“I refer to the family violence hub that was funded in this year’s state budget for the north-eastern suburbs, and I ask the minister: when will this hub open and in what location will it be?”

What The Papers Say Abduction try

■ Mansfield Police are warning parents to be extra vigilant following the attempted abduction of a child from Apollo St. A young boy was riding his scooter near the Mansfield pool when a man with dark hair and a groomed beard, driving a black sedan, pulled up beside him.

“The driver asked the boy if he wanted to go for a ride,” Sergeant Robyn Reed of Mansfield police said.

“Luckily, he scooted away and told a trusted adult what had happened.”

Council adjourns

■ Strathbogie Shire mayor Amanda McClaren has once again adjourned the council meeting, which first sat on October 17 in Avenel, to re-seek legal advice on a point of order.

In the council chambers in Euroa, councillors sat again in the hope of discussing, and then voting on, Cr Mason’s motion to ‘begin the statutory process to reappoint the current chief executive officer Steve Crawcour without advertising the position’.

Having adjourned for a week to give the mayor time to seek independent legal counsel on a point of order raised by Cr Stothers a week earlier, the mayor prepared to deliver the legal ruling she had been provided.

Before she could present her findings, Cr McClaren was again requested to adjourn for an hour so that copies of her independent legal advice could be presented to councillors for consideration.

Netball coaches

■ Seymour looks set to be a powerhouse in Goulburn Valley League netball once again after securing the services of a host of its 2015 premiership cohort.

Wellman Family Medallist Elle McDonald and superstar defender Sarah Szczykulski are returning to the Lions in a playing and coaching capacity next year, bringing a wealth of experience to the club both on and off the court.

McDonald will be the club’s junior development coach and will oversee the development of the Lions’ under-17 side and inaugural under-15 team.

These sides will be coached by Ellie O’Sullivan and Courtney Aldous, respectively, while Szczykulski will coach the club’s B-reserve side.

Seymour’s netball will once again be led

by Laura Carland, who will coach the Agrade side and act as head coach of the club.

People’s poet

■ The centenary of the publishing of C.J. Dennis’s The Glugs of Gosh was marked at this year’s C. J. Dennis Poetry and Short Story Competition weekend with a performance of the highly satirical political work by members of the C. J. Dennis Society.

The weekend of celebrations, held at Dennis’s former home, The Singing Gardens, in Toolangi on October 21-22 attracted poetry and short stories from poets of all ages competing in honouring the style of Dennis, ‘the people’s poet’.

Society member and current owner of The Singing Gardens, Jan Williams, noted it is 10 years since the start of the festival.

Inspired haircuts

■ Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin inspired an Eltham basketball team to victory, with players sporting his famous haircut as they won their grand final.

After Eltham Wildcats under-14s player Brody Glenn had his long hair cut into a mullet he then had a bet with a few of his teammates, that if Richmond won the AFL Grand Final they would have to get a “Dusty” or mullet cut.

After the Tigers victory, all 10 players in the basketball team followed through and sported the haircuts for their own grand final win.

LA Dodgers, so close to World Series ■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.

Out and About

Maybe Next Series?

■ The Houston Astros clinched their first World Series championship in Game 7 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Houston capped off a thrilling Series full of home runs and reliefs pitching with a 5-1 win at Dodgers Stadium.

Game 7 was relatively quiet compared to the earlier games, but it was a historic moment for the Astros to finish an unforgettable series, giving the city of Houston a boost as it continues to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

"I think as time will go by and we'll watch the DVDs that are made of this series and the memories that are built from this series.

“There will be a great appreciation of where it fits in the context of history of baseball," Astros Manager A.J. Hinch said told USA Today.

The Astros can thank centre fielder George Springer for Game 7's only home run. It was Springer's fifth home run this series, tying Reggie Jackson's all-time record set in 1977 and matched

by Chase Utley for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2009.

Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig's home was burglarised overnight, adding insult to injury after losing in Game 7 of the World Series to the Houston Astros.

An LAPD watch commander confirmed the burglary investigation at Encino-area home, where a window was found smashed and items were taken.

● Pictured at Game 7 is Managing Director, Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites, Alan Johnson with his General Manager, William Karpiak.

Stranger Things ■ Of that overall Live + 3 Day (of sorts) audience, nearly 11 million members come from the all-important adults 18-49 demographic.

While subscription service Netflix doesn't sell ads, they still target the folks with disposable income. Young adults never go out of style.

Additionally, 361,000 people watched all nine of the new hour-long episodes on Day 1. It's like; get a life, you guys.

Hollywood Bowl ■ The Hollywood Bowl is an amphitheatre in Hollywood, California. The Hollywood Bowl is known for its band shell, a distinctive set of concentric arches that graced the site from 1929 through 2003, before being replaced with a larger one beginning in the 2004 season.

The shell is set against the backdrop of the Hollywood Hills and the famous Hollywood Sign to the northeast.

The "bowl" refers to the shape of the concave hillside the amphitheatre is carved into.

The bowl is owned by the County of Los Angeles and is the home of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the host of hundreds of musical events each year.

It is at 2301 North Highland Avenue, north of Hollywood Boulevard and the Hollywood/Highland subway station and south of Route 101.

The Greek Theatre ■ Greek Theatre is a 5870-seat music venue located in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California. The theatre is owned by the city of Los Angeles and is operated by SMG. Designed by architect Samuel Tilden Norton, the theatre stage is modelled after a Greek temple. The idea for the Greek Theatre originated with wealthy landowner Griffith J. Griffith, who donated 3000 acres (1200 ha) of land to the city of Los Angeles in 1896 to create Griffith Park. In his will he left money for the construction of a Greek theatre. A canyon site was chosen because of its good acoustics. The cornerstone was laid in 1928 and the building was officially dedicated on September 25, 1930. The first performance took place on June 26, 1931, attended by a capacity crowd of 4000. In 1983, the Greek Theatre's seating capacity was expanded to 6187, but recent renovations have brought the Greek Theatre's capacity down to 6,162 in 1995 and to 5,700 in 2004. In 2009 the Los Angeles Fire Marshal permitted the addition of two more rows in the pit, bringing full capacity at the Greek to 5870 seated and 5900 general admission.

The Ford Theatre ■ Welcome back to the Ford Theatre season. With nearly three years of renovations complete, the Ford truly is LA's freshest venue. The John Anson Ford Amphitheatre was built in 1920 as the site of The Pilgrimage Play. The author, Christine Wetherill Stevenson, believed the rugged beauty of the Cahuenga Pass would provide a dramatic outdoor setting for the play. Together with Mrs Chauncey D. Clark, she purchased this land along with that on which the Hollywood Bowl now sits. A wooden, outdoor amphitheatre was built on this site and noted actors performed the play every summer from 1920 to 1929, until the original structure was destroyed by a brush fire in October of 1929.

The present theatre, constructed of poured concrete and designed in the style of ancient Judaic architecture to resemble the gates of Jerusalem, was built on the same site and opened in 1931. The Pilgrimage Play was again performed here until 1964, interrupted only by World War II. In 1941 the land was deeded to the County of Los Angeles.

Today, the Ford Theatres are dedicated to presenting a diverse roster of events representing music and dance styles reflective of the communities that comprise Los Angeles County.

In addition to its multidisciplinary summer season, the Ford presents interactive participatory arts events at its amphitheatre.

■ Michael Jackson died eight years ago, but he's still generating millions of dollars. Jackson is atop the Forbes list of top-earning dead celebrities for the fifth straight year, with $75 million. Forbes says a new greatest hits album, a Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show and a stake in the EMI musicpublishing catalogue boosted Jackson's earnings. Katherine Jackson is no longer the guardian of Michael Jackson's youngest child, Blanket. The Jackson family matriarch filed paperwork surrendering guardianship, which began in 2009 after Michael's sudden death. His older cousin, Tito Joe "TJ" Jackson, will now look after Blanket, 15, after full time. TJ has held joint guardianship with Katherine since 2012.

■ Wendy Williams gave viewers a fright last week when she passed out on live TV. The morning show host, 53, dressed as the Statue of Liberty for Halloween, was mid-sentence when she suddenly stopped talking, lost her balance and collapsed. The show then cut to an extended commercial break before Williams came back on-air and addressed the audience. "That was not a stunt," a smiling Williams explained. "I overheated in my costume and I did pass out. But you know what? I'm a champ and I'm back."

■ Starz (U.S. Cable Channel) boss Chris Albrecht and new wife Tina Trahan spent more than $1 million booking potpuffing rapper Snoop Dogg to perform at their kids' Halloween party in Los Angeles, along with artist-of-the-moment DJ Khaled. Albrecht and Trahan threw the bash for 75 kids aged between 7 and 12. They transformed their Santa Monica mansion into an 8000-square-foot haunted house, complete with a funeral parlor and mausoleum. A source told us that Snoop was on his "best behaviour" for the children, and "the only smoke was coming from the fog machine."

■ Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver are still legally married after breaking up six years ago. In 2011, Shriver, 61, filed for divorce after discovering her actionhero husband, 70, had an affair and fathered a child with their housekeeper, reports TMZ. As for why it's taking so long to finalise the details, the site reports they haven't been able to reach an agreement regarding the division of property and assets.

■ The View co-host Meghan McCain is engaged to Ben Domenech, a conservative writer and publisher of online magazine The Federalist. The daughter of Sen. John McCain is expected to announce on the ABC show that she and Domenech, also the writer of political insider newsletter The Transom, plan to tie the knot.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: JULIA: Genre: Drama.

Cast: Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave, Jason Robards, Maximilian Schell, Meryl Streep.

Year: 1977/ M/117 Minutes.

Stars: ***** Verdict: Stunningly remastered for Blu-ray, this beautifully crafted drama of celebrated playwright Lillian Hellman, who undertakes a dangerous mission to smuggle funds into Nazi Germany at the request of an old and most cherished friend, is simply a knockout!

Based on an extraordinary true story, screen veterans Jane Fonda as Lillian Hellman, Vanessa Redgrave as the enigmatic Julia, Jason Robards as legendary author Dashiell Hammett, and Maximilian Schell as Julia's friend, Johann, are right at the top of their game, never better! Exemplary Oscar winning screenplay by Oscar Alvin Sargent (Paper Moon, Ordinary People) from "Pentimento," the memoirs of Lillian Hellman, and tautly refined, sensitive and respectful direction by two time Oscar winner Fred Zinnemann, whose previous efforts include the classics The Search, High Noon, The Men, From Here to Eternity, A Man For All Seasons and The Day of the Jackal, to name a few. Add to the mix the breathtaking cinematography by Douglas Slocombe (The Lion in Winter, Raiders of the Lost Ark), along with superlative Production and Costume Design, Editing, Music Score and European locations, and they all come together to create a haunting, poignant, thoroughly gripping and unforgettable experience! Nominated for 11 Academy awards, winning three for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Jason Robards), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Vanessa Redgrave) and Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium (Alvin Sargent).

The extra features on the Blu-ray are only a trailer. Footnote: The woman in the boat is actually Lillian Hellman, and also marks the big screen debut role for Meryl Streep.

FILM: ANNABELLE CREATION: Genre: Horror/Mystery/Thriller.

Cast: Anthony LaPaglia, Miranda Otto, Stephanie Sigman, Talitha Bateman and Lulu Wilson.

Year: 2017.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 109 Minutes.

Stars: **1/2 Verdict: Twelve years after the tragic death of their little girl, a doll-maker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, soon becoming the target of the doll-maker's possessed creation, Annabelle.

This prequel to "Annabelle" (2014) and depicts the possessed Annabelle doll's origin, and as the title implies, the movie provides the story of how the possessed doll that eventually ends up in the hands of "The Conjuring's" (2013) paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren first came to be inhabited by an evil entity. Australian stalwarts Anthony LaPaglia and Miranda Otto give effective performances, as do the children in the piece, but the only major stand-out here is the isolation of the farm house where all the events take place, possibly a nod to Tobe Hooper's 1974 shocker "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Matching its predecessors in fiendish frights and all things that go bump in the night, this more akin to old school fright tactics, however, all things spooky and in fright night cinema today have become a cliché and this is no exception, other than trying to extend the story. The horror is akin to the chilling fear of Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby" and William Friedkin's "The Exorcist," to name a few, and a nod and a wink to other creepy doll films such as "Dead of Night" (1945), "The Devil Doll" (1964), 1975's "Trilogy of Terror," 1978's "Magic," 1988's Chucky from "Child's Play" and with a touch of Robert Wise's "The Haunting" (1963), and your time would be better served if you sought any of these out.

FILM: CARS 3: Genre: Animated/Adventure/Comedy.

Cast: Owen Wilson, Cristela Alonzo, Armie Hammer, Chris Cooper, Bonnie Hunt, Larry the Cable Guy and Kerry Washington.

Year: 2017.

Rating: G. Length: 109 Minutes.

Stars: ***1/3 Verdict: Blindsided by a new generation of super fast cars, the legendary Lightning McQueen is pushed out of the sport he loves, so to get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician with her own plan to win, but he is determined to prove to a new generation of racers that he's still the best race car in the world..

Directed by Brian Fee, this eighteenth Pixar animated feature film and the third instalment in the "Cars" film franchise, following "Cars" (2006) and "Cars 2" (2011), stars the voices of Owen Wilson, Armie Hammer, Bonnie Hunt, Larry the Cable Guy, Kerry Washington and Lea DeLaria, is a joy from beginning to end.

This may not be the best film in the Pixar library of already established animated classics, but it's certainly a step-up from the previous "Cars" effort," and matches the original rev for rev, laugh for laugh. Brimming with dynamic animation and filled with delightful characters we have come to relish over the years, this is a warm, funny, heartening, energetic, radiant and ultimately a rollicking fun ride for the whole family to enjoy!

Rourke’s Reviews: Detroit

● British actor Will Poulter plays brutal, racist police officer Philip Krauss in the effective but superficial true-life thriller Detroit, from Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow.

■ (MA). 143 minutes. Opens in one-note creations who never alselected cinemas on November 9. low the material to truly analyse the Kathryn Bigelow, who made still highly relevant problems occurhistory by being the first woman to ring between the African American win the Academy Award for Best community and a largely unchangDirector in 2010, re-teams with ing white hierarchy (which Presiscreenwriter Mark Boal (The Hurt dent Trump and his cronies sadly Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) for De- personify).

While it has an undeniably vistroit, which is also based on true events, but the results are disap- ceral impact, Detroit lacks the kind of complexity and depth needed to pointingly uneven.

Oscar wins.

RATING - *** Some of those terrified are Larry Reed (Algee Smith), Fred Temple (Jacob Latimore), and Blade Of The Immortal (MA). 140 Robert Greene (Anthony Mackie), minutes. Opens in selected cinemas who, along with others, are on November 16.

■ It is my great pleasure to attend the Friday morning tea of The Brady Bunch.

Philip Brady invites a small group of friends to a lovely social get together each week.

It is always a joy to chat with Mike McColl Jones, the famous comedy writer for Graham Kennedy, Bert Newton, Don Lane, Steve Vizard, Stuart Wagstaff, Ernie Sigley and many others.

It is an honour to know and be a friend of Mike McColl Jones OAM. Mike McColl Jones was born in East Melbourne in 1937. He went to Xavier College and still supports his school football team the Old Xaverians - the ‘Old Xavs’.

It was at Xavier that Mike became friends with Philip Brady, Mike Walsh and Jim Murphy.

Mike is a witty person and always had a desire to write comedy. When he started at GTV9 as a comedy writer his mentor was Freddie Parsons who had written comedy material for Roy Rene ‘Mo’, George Wallace, Dick Bentley and Buster Fiddess.

Mike was a special guest on the This Is Your Life episode for Freddie Parsons in later years.

Initially Mike wrote for Graham Kennedy's In Melbourne Tonight. Graham and Mike measured their success by the number of complaints received at the television station switchboard.

Their association spanned a period of almost 20 years. As Graham's personal writer, Mike was responsible was responsible for helping Graham ‘send up’ the live commercials on The

Graham Kennedy Show. Products like Alka Seltzer, Hoover, Cedel, Pal dog food and ‘Pussy’.

"Pussy in a can!! What will they think of next?".

He also wrote for Don Lane on his recordbreaking decade long The Don Lane Show.

Mike also did many dozens of ‘specials’ for the Nine Network, including 23 Logies and a Royal Command performance from the Sydney Opera House ... all hosted by Bert Newton.

He wrote for Steve Vizard for Tonight Live, Stuart Wagstaff, Joan Rivers for several years, David Strassman, Frankie J. Holden, Paul Martell, Brian Doyle, Bob Monkhouse, Malcolm Fraser and John Howard (the ex-PM, not the actor).

Mike became friends with many of the over-

● Mike McColl Jones seas guests he met here, and enjoyed their hospitality overseas, especially Richard Deacon, Rock Hudson and Joan Rivers.

Joan Rivers once gave a joke Mike wrote for her to her friend Nancy Reagan. She gave it to her husband, the then President of the United States and he did it at a press conference.

These days Mike McColl Jones runs his own company, The Joke Factory, and provides comedy material for many famous people.

He has spoken at funerals over the years and he sometimes does his famous ‘Letter from Heaven’ comedy spot. Mike has put a smile on the faces of mourners at the funerals of Gra-

ham Kennedy, Don Lane and Tommy Hanlon Jnr. These days Mike is putting the finishing touches to his new book, he still provides comedy material for many top comics.

He and his wife Valerie have two children, Tim and Catherine, and five grand-children, Charlotte, Max, Nicholas, Lucy and Elizabeth.

Mike can be heard every two weeks on 3AW's Remember When with Philip and Simon Owens.

His favourite meal is lamb cutlets, mashed potato and peas, and he loves soft licorice.

When time permits, he studies the art of Zoolycrump.

He is a columnist with us at the Melbourne Observer and The Local Paper - his topical ‘Top Five’ column is always very funny.

Mike McColl Jones is the author of several books which have included And Now Here's, My Funny Friends and Graham Kennedy Treasures: Friends Remember The King.

Mike McColl Jones was last month presented with his Order of Australia Medal at Government House and his friend Philip Brady was there to support him.

Kevin Trask Kevin can be heard on 3AW Mike Till Midnight - Saturday at 8.10pm The Time Tunnel - on Remember When Sundays at 9.10pm And on 96.5 FM: That's Entertainment - Sundays at 12 Noon

Top class field for Emirates Stakes ■ The Emirates Stakes, run on the last day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, has attracted a top class field of horses to contest the popular event.

On the early markets, the mighty mare, Winx, was quoted at $1.20, but is now spelling.

The new favourite is the winner of the Cranbourne Cup, Folkswood, who ran a good third behind Winx in the Cox Plate.

Folkswood is a five-year-old bay gelding sired by the Australian sire, Foxtel, and is prepared by Godolphin trainer, Charlie Appleby, who won the Bendigo Cup with Qewy.

He is a horse with loads of talent and will be in the firing line for a long time.

Gailo Chop, with the powerful Darren Weir camp, will come into calculations despite being outclassed in the Cox Plate.

Prior to his Cox Plate run he won the Caulfield Stakes over 2000 metres in good style.

From his 22 starts he has won against top company.

The interesting nomination is the exciting three-year old Royal Symphony, who has been extremely unlucky in his last four starts.

After four wins on end he was acclaimed as the one to beat in the Caulfield Guineas for his age.

Royal Symphony, prepared by leading South Australian trainer, Tony Mc Evoy, competed in the Guineas prelude only to be flattened after coming for the rear of the field on a windy day at Caulfield.

He went around in the Caulfield Guineas as the one to beat, but "lo and behold", once again he found trouble snookered along the inside.

His rider, Dwayne Dunn, whose wife is a part-owner of Royal Symphony, tried everything to get him balanced, but once again found trouble.

The stable then thought our luck has to change, and Tony entered him for the Cox Plate, although not giving the colt a chance of beating Winx.

This time it wasn't his fault, but Damien Oliver had a brain fade on his mount, Happy Clapper, in the Cox Plate and had his mount lay all over him for around 1000 metres turning out of the straight.

Subsequently, Damien Oliver was

world, but needs luck in running, and Flemington will suit him right down to the ground.

Darley Classic

with Ted Ryan given a 20 week suspension by Stewards, thus missing out on the mount of equal favourite for the Melbourne Cup, last year's winner, Almandin.

He appealed, but he was never going to get it cut back, and accepted the penalty gracefully.

I like the colt and I feel he is all quality, and with an ounce of luck in his races he will win Group Ones, this is his chance.

It would pay to stick with him, plus he loves Flemington. Humidor has been nominated, but probably won't start.

The New Zealander, Gingernuts, is a top performer, winning some top class races.

Hailing from New Zealand, his planned map, was to be running in the Caulfield Cup, went astray, when he went amiss and missed a start on his return to racing, he has plenty of talent.

Another of Weir's team is the talented former international, Tosen Stardom, who never runs a bad race and is a Group One winner, a winner of the Toorak Handicap on Caulfield Guineas Day. Of the others in the market is Hartnell, who is not racing that well of late, but has the talent to beat the best.

He is being quoted at double figure odds, but you can't leave him out.

I am sticking with Royal Sym-

■ This year's Darley Classic at Flemington is shaping up as one of the best Darleys of all times.

The field likely to be assembled come race day without a doubt will be a beauty.

The favourite is the Everest Race winner, Redzel, with the strong Peter and Paul Snowden team in Sydney Redzel picked up around $ 5million to add to his already stakemoney, just over a million.

On form and up the straight 1200 metre at Flemington, Redzel is the one to beat; he has great pace, but the field is red hot.

He is being quoted at just under each odds.

On the next line is the horse at one stage rated the best sprinter in the world, Chautauqua, who ran a great fourth in the Everest, after his rider decided to take a run up the inside, rather than go to the outside which is more to his liking, being a big strider.

Avdulla came under fire from many quarters for the ride, after he finished a solid fourth and about 20 metres past the post was in front.

Then came the debacle at Moonee Valley, before the Manikato on Cox Plate eve.

The Sydney mare, English, played up in the barriers upsetting Chautauqua, who appeared to get his leg over the stall and was withdrawn.

The Hawkes camp, were irate, and said there was nothing wrong with him.

The next morning he was as bright as a button.

He will be hard to beat, if he is within three lengths of them, with about 400 metres to go.

The brilliant Sydney mare, In Her Time, who has won seven of her 17 starts, has brilliance as displayed when a great second in the Manikato.

In Her Time is being quoted at nearly double each way odds, with the Hayes- Dabernig trained galloper, Vega Magic, who appeared to be disappointing in the Manikato, in which he started favourite, but the team were not too disappointed.

- Ted Ryan.

They will be presented by Michelle Stevenson.

10-year-old Semillon for $35 ■ JOHN ROZENTALS finds some real joy in a visit to Wollombi, in the Hunter Valley: I've always found mature Hunter Valley semillon, or at least goodquality mature Hunter Valley Semillon, to be one of the wine world's genuine wonders.

My chief oenology lecturer described it as one of only three unique Australian wine styles, the other two being sparkling shiraz (or 'sparkling burgundy' as it was known in less PC times) and Rutherglen muscat.

I remember an early-morning round of very early-morning golf many years ago in Hobart with that somewhat controversial, certainly provocative, Melbourne-based winewriter, the late Mark Shield.

He waxed for several holes about the qualities of aged Hunter semillon and wondered how such a "mean, squinty-eyed youngster" could develop such grace, richness and complexity with time in the bottle.

There are, of course, some fine examples available for keen drinkers - wines such as Tyrrells Vat 1 Semillon, but you're going to have to fork out quite a bit for the pleasure of drinking that with your best seafood.

Imagine my pleasure last weekend to be offered at Wollombi's smallish Stonehurst a few glasses of 2007 Semillon - and my even greater pleasure in finding that it was still available for purchase at the cellar door, for the very reason-

● Daryl Heslop: his Stonehurst 1007 Semillon is still available cellar door. able price of $35 ($28 in case lots) notes it really is a gem. a bottle.

And Daryl has some very handy While proprietor/winemaker other older semillons available as Daryl Heslop isn't quite giving the well. stuff away for this ask, it really is a Visit www.cedarcreek bargain. cottages.com.au.

The wine in question has a troWINE REVIEWS phy and gold medal to its credit, and TYRRELLS 2013 VAT 47 as can be seen from my tasting HUNTER CHARDONNAY($75):

This line, created by Murray Tyrrell in the 1960s, has assumed near legendary status as one of Australia's first and best chardonnays.

At last count this particular vintage had won four trophies and 15 gold medals, and thoroughly deserved every one of them - a lovely, tight, modern style of dry white with great length of flavour.

Even if you say you don't drink chardonnay I reckon you'll fall for this one. Made entirely from the family's Short Flat vineyard, directly across the road from the Broke Road winery.

DRAYTONSNV HUNTER BLUE ($24): Pouring a glass of this presents an immediate surprise. The wine is a bright, vivid blue in colour. Given that it's made from a blend of semillon and verdelho I'll stick with calling it a white wine, as I normally would. It has a noticeable level of sweetness and will appeal to a broad range of tastes. Surprise your friends by serving it as an aperitif.

WINE OF THE WEEK STONEHURST 2007 CEDAR CREEK SEMILLON ($35): A truly delightful bottle-aged dry white that's showing ample enough toasty, honeyed flavours to be regarded as a classic. Still showing fresh citrus flavours on bouquet and palate, it's nearing its peak right now but should hang around for a few years.

Craig Lloyd named as new Murrindindi CEO Abbey to stay on until June 27

■ Murrindindi Shire’s CEO Margaret Abbey will be staying around until June 28.

Mayor Cr Charlie Bisset said the community learnt earlier in the year about the imminent retirement of Ms Abbey and her plans to take some overdue leave.

“At that time, Council made the decision to approve Ms Abbey’s leave until her contract finishes on June 27, 2018.““ “Mr Lloyd has agreed to fill the vacancy created by Ms Abbey’s absence on leave, and Council has appointed him as Interim Chief Executive Officer from January 8 to June 30, 2018.

“Mr Lloyd will then continue in the role as the permanent CEO for a term of five years commencing on July 1, 2018, following Ms Abbey’s formal departure from the position.”

Cr Bisset said that she wanted to acknowledge and personally thank Ms Abbey for the important work she has done over the past eight years.

“While Ms Abbey has not yet finished in her role, I would also like to take this opportunity to express Council’s gratitude and immense appreciation to her.

“Ms Abbey took on the role of CEO at a particularly difficult time for the Shire, and for the organisation.

“She led the extremely difficult and challenging work of recovery and rebuilding which followed the 2009 bushfires.

“She also ensured the organisation is now in a sound financial position to meet any new challenges.

“Although Ms Abbey is retiring from her role with local government, I know she plans to keep busy in other roles,” Cr Bisset said.

■ Murrindindi Shire Council has this week announced the appointment of its new Chief Executive Officer, Craig Lloyd.

Mr Lloyd is currently the Director of Presentation and Assets with the City of Greater Bendigo.

Mr Lloyd will take up the CEO role on January 8.

Mr Lloyd has extensive senior executive experience in the public sector, including roles with state and local government, emergency services and not-for-profit organisations.

Mr Lloyd holds a Masters of Business Administration, Masters of Project Management and a Post Graduate Certificate in Community Development.

Mr Lloyd said he was delighted to have been appointed as Council’s new CEO. “I look forward to working with the community, Councillors and staff to deliver on Council's plans.

“I am passionate about working with, and for, communities, driving quality service delivery and leading a passionate and engaged workforce.

“I also look forward to relocating to Murrindindi Shire with my young family and learning more about all the wonderful things the Shire has to offer,” Mr Lloyd said.

Mayor Cr Charlie Bisset said she was thrilled with the appointment and believed there was never a better time to lead Murrindindi Shire Council.

“The Council unanimously resolved last Wednesday (Nov. 1) to appoint Mr Lloyd following an extensive recruitment process facilitated by an external recruitment agency.

“There is a real sense of possibility and opportunity amongst both Councillors and staff.

“Following the feedback from the ‘Have Your Say’ campaign earlier this year, we are changing direction to ensure we engage, and work more closely with, the Murrindindi Shire community to enhance our prosperity and to make our Shire an even better place to live.

Emergency background

“Mr Lloyd has the experience, skills and qualifications to help guide the organisation on this important journey.

“He also understands the challenges facing rural communities. He has a passion for community development and the business skills to ensure we remain on the right path.

“I am confident that he will help to advance our goals for improving how Council works with the community and to meet any new challenges we might face,” Cr Bisset said.

■ Murrindindi’s new CEO-designate, Craig Lloyd, holds a Master of Project Management, Master of Business Administration, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Community Development According to his CV at the City of Greater Bendigo website, Mr Lloyd’s career has spanned the emergency services sector, working for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, Rural Ambulance Victoria, and other national and international emergency services.

Before joining the Council at Bendigo he was the Executive Director Property and Assets at the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, which saw him oversee asset planning and construction, project management, fleet management, equipment and resource management, and engineering and facilities management.

The Presentation andAssets Directorate at Greater Bendigo focuses on delivering a clean, well-presented and functioning municipality, including all aspects of the city’s built and natural environment.

It is responsible for: ■ Asset planning and engineering, urban and landscape design ■ Constructing and maintaining roads, footpaths and drainage systems ■ Development, protection and maintenance of parks and the natural environment areas under the City’s jurisdiction ■ Management of waste and recycling collection, landfill sites, transfer stations and street cleaning ■ Designing and delivering infrastructure ■ Management of major infrastructure projects

Alexandra Show to be held this weekend Council News Slashing starts

■ Murrindindi Shire Council has started its roadside slashing program, beginningin the Alexandra area.

Murrindindi Shire Council's Municipal Emergency Management Committee Chair Cr Sandice McAulay said the program was developed in consultation with the CFA and was guided by Council's Municipal Fire Management Plan.

"Council's slashing program usually only starts when the grass begins to cure, or dry out, as this reduces the need for further slashing to be done later in the fire season.

"Slashing work has started in the Alexandra area and should move on to the Yarck, Molesworth, Yea and Highlandsroadsides from November 13," said Cr McAulay.

"Slashing should start in the Eildon area on November 20 and should move through to Thornton, Taggerty and Buxton from the following week, starting November 27.

"We anticipate that slashing along Marysville's roadsides will commence around December 4. Slashing work in the Strath Creek, Flowerdale and Glenburn areas will kick off around December 11.

"Given the slower curing rate in the Kinglake Ranges, we expect to start slashing in Kinglake, Toolangi, Kinglake West and Pheasant Creek around Christmas. This is likely to carry though until mid-January 2018."

"Our officers have been working closely with neighbouring councils in the southern part of the Shire to ensure a consistent approach to fire prevention in the Kinglake Ranges area," she said.

Cr McAulay said the slashing program's dates may vary according to weather conditions. She added that the grass around the Shire would continue to be monitored throughout the Fire Danger Period.

■ Gorse may produce a pretty yellow flower, but it is one of Australia's Weeds of National Significance (WoNS) and it already has a presence in Murrindindi Shire.

According to Murrindindi Shire Council's Natural Environment and Climate Change Portfolio Councillor, Rebecca Bowles, Gorse was introduced to Australia in the 1800s and was planted to create hedges and used as an ornamental plant until the 1980s.

Cr Bowles said it is now classed as a noxious weed and a WoNS because of its invasiveness, its potential to significantly reduce land values and the high cost to remove it.

"Unless landowners get rid of it when they see it, gorse has the potential to become a real problem in our Shire," Cr Bowles said.

"Its thickets provide a safe haven for feral animals, the plant is highly flammable during summer and it spreads quickly, often along drainage lines and waterways, degrading and devaluing land."

A member of the pea family, gorse is known for its bright yellow flowers, and it's extremely spiny branches. It produces a huge number of hairy seed pods. A mature infestation of gorse can produce up to 6 million seeds per hectare each year.

Property owners who think they have gorse and aren't sure, or if they want more information about gorse in Murrindindi Shire, can get in touch with Council's Environment Officer on 5772 0333.

"The Victorian Gorse Management Taskforce's website is a brilliant resource and is well worth a look.

“You can find it at www.vicgorse taskforce.com.au," Cr Bowles said - Contributed

The Yea Story: Part 24

Yea minister prohibited raffles From The Story of Yea

by Harvey Blanks ■ At alle events, whether purchased or donated, the solid little building of local handmade bricks and pit-sawn red gum timber, became Yea’s first Presbyterian Church.

The Rev. A. Murdoch resigned to go to Benalla in 1868, leaving the town without its own minister for several years.

However, fortnightly services were conducted by the Rev. Robert Taylor of Alexandra, apparently in the evenings, as the new committee set up by the congregation in 1873 purchased six kerosene lamps, as well as a church bell, a Bible, and a ssupply of hymn books.

In 1876, having obtained the services of a Home Missionary, the Rev. M. Mackie, the committee bought its first manse - the old school building in Station St that had been condemned during the diptheria epidemic which swept the town at this period.

Renovated and provided with a few small additions, this building was shifted to Miller St, next to the church.

On week days, the church was rented to the Education Department for a few months, but the arrangement was terminated because of damage caused by the pupils.

From 1880 to 1883, Yea was again without its Presbyterian minister, although a miner and blacksmith named Mills, described as “a typical Welsh singer and revivalist”, preached in the church during this period, evidently under Home Mission supervision, and in the evenings conducted popular open-air hymn meetings on the river bank.

With the arrival of the Rev. D. Milne in 1885, affairs were put on a more permanent basis.

The first Elders elected were Messrs Robert Gemmell, William Drysdale and D.J. Bartrop.

At the same time the church building was renovated, the brick walls being given a coat of cement, a new floor laid and a softened ceiling installed.

New seats, solidly built of oregon pine, were made by Mr T. Watson, and the bell, which previously had been suspended from an old red gum tree outside, was placed in a new belfry.

The seats and pulpit were much later transferred to the new Scots Church when it was built in 1922.

A firm organisation was set up during Mr Milne’s pastorate, which saw the formation of a choir asnd the establishment of a Sunday School.

His period of service was a lost one lasting until 1905, when he retire dto love at Cowes, subsequently dying there in 1906.

His mother, wife and daughter all died at Yea and are buried in the town’s cemetery.

The next minister was the immensely popular Rev. F.E. Yeaman, and congregations soon became so large that the evening services held to be transferred to the Shire Hall.

A new and larger church was obviously called for and in 1907, a major drive for funds was launched with an All Nations’ Fair.

However, some of the church members allowed the enthusiasm to run away wit them and in spite of their minister’s absolute prohibition

What’s On Open Gardens

■ The Rotary Club of Yea is presenting 10 gardens in the seventh Yea & District Open Gardens to be held over the weekend (Sat.Sun., Nov. 10-11).

Two gardens have been open to the public before and these not for some time. The gardens are open from 10am to 5pm daily and the cost is $5 per garden or $35 for a composite ticket to view all gardens.

Two large country estate gardens are open: ‘Glenburn Station’ and ‘Boggy Creek Station’. They are vastly different and described as “absolutely stunning”.

Both are the result bof renowned Victorian designers and have the 'wow' factor. An added bonus to garden visits is the outstanding views from all of the large country gardens and the drive through pretty countryside to visit each garden.

Two new openings this year are set in the rich farmland of the Murrindindi Valley and these two neighbouring properties are both old established homesteads with their new owners enhancing and extending both gardens.

A picturesque winding country lane leads to the two openings in Webb Ware's Road.

Both are both less than 20 years old but well established with beautiful borders, tree collections and many other wonderful features.

All the country gardens have been grouped for ease of travelling.

The town gardens are vastly different with, as usual, one which is quirky and unique. All the town gardens have special features .

The Yea Garden Club will once again have their annual Plant Sale in the garden of ‘Abutilon’ at 8 Welch St, Yea, where visitors will find a wonderful choice of speciality plants at bargain prices.

KINGLAKE CRICKET CLUB REPORT

■ Saturday was a day of disappointment for those Kinglake players who made themselves available for a game.

The Northern Metro Cricket Association has permitted Strathewen Cricket Club to transfer their 2nd XI from the designated One Day grade to E-Grade Sault Shield, after three rounds of the fixture have been completed.

Kinglake suddenly found they had a one-day 35/ 35 game at Strathewen Reserve one week prior to the match.

As the original fixture listed a bye for them some of their players had made family plans for the long weekend, so Kinglake took to the field with 9 players.

One player, Edward O'Hara, was also listed to play until he arrived at the ground with his arm in plaster and a sling, having lost an argument with his pet goat!

Kinglake welcomed Declan Grant for his debut game.

Anyway, to the stats for the game. Kinglake won the toss and elected to bat first.

None of the batsmen raised double figures with extras (2 byes, 2 leg byes, 2 wides, 6 no balls) being the top score.

The list was S. Andrews 7, J. Gaffee 1, S. Kerr 6, M. Murray 1, R. Koers 0, D. Grant 2, T. Stonehouse 2, L. Martin (Jnr) 3 n/o, and K. Martin 2.

Kinglake was all out after 26 overs.

Strathewen used eight bowlers.

Strathewen 's opening pair then took just four overs to accumulate 40 runs needed for the win.

Kinglake used four bowlers with 1 over each.

D. Grant 1-0-6-0, M. Murray 1-0-4-0, R. Koers 1-0-12-0 and T. Stonehouse 1-0-16-0 with 2 byes.

At this point the game was ruled off and by agreement Kinglake game three more players one over each. L. Martin 1-0-13-0, S. Kerr 1-01-2 and K. Martin 1-0-6-0 whereupon play was concluded and everyone came off for tea.

This weekend Kinglake plays Round 5 on Saturday and Round 6 on Sunday, both at home.

6-A-SIDE. SECTION 2

SEYMOUR DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION T20 COMPETITION ■ Lastweekend saw a break in regular SDCA matches to make way for a knockout Twenty/ 20 competition over the Saturday and Sunday to take place.

In the first game Yea played Eastern Hill, which batted first. Some early wickets saw Yea having their opponents at 4/43 at the 10 over mark.

However a strong fifth wicket partnership saw them make a competitive total of 126. Yea lost a wicket early on, however this brought together Ben Tarran and Dan O'Dwyer who each posted 50s. Dan was out with 5 runs still to get, but the partnership had done enough to mean Yea passed the target two wickets down in the penultimate over. This meant the Tigers progressed to the semi-final on Sunday.

Next game up for Yea was Broadford, and the Tigers batted first. Yea made an extremely shaky start and were 4/30 before they knew it.

Some handy contributions from Ben Tarran, Lachie Beattie and Brad Clements meant Yea scrapped their way up to a below par, but defendable total of 89.

Yea bowled out of their skins to keep themselves in with a chance, with Lachie Beattie and Aiden McSpeerin bowling fast and aggressive opening spells to put Broadford on the back foot.

The equation came down to Broadford needing 16 runs from the final 3 overs to win. At this point Andrew Chisholm bowled a triple wicket maiden including a hattrick to wrestle back control for Yea, before Brad Clements finished the game off by taking the final two wickets to seal a tight victory. This put Yea through to the grand final.

The grand final saw Yea come up against

SEYMOUR DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION T20 COMPETITION

Tallarook for the chance to take home the first piece of SDCA. Tallarook batted first and controlled their innings nicely, putting together multiple significant partnerships to make a strong total of 136 and put themselves in the box seat.

In reply Yea started steadily with Nathan Beattie and Ben Tarran rotating the strike nicely.

However once Tarran was dismissed it started somewhat of a collapse for the Tigers.

Beattie fought on the make a tough 21, however Yea was never really in the hunt, being bowled out for 91, meaning Tallarook were the 2017/18 T/20 champions.

This weekend sees A-Grade play Nagambie at Nagambie, while B-Grade hosts Flowerdale at Yea. - Andrew Chisholm

YEA GOLF CLUB REPORT

■ After having a wonderful Yea Golf Club week away last year at Merimbula and the previous year at Wanaka, New Zealand, it is time to look ahead to 2018.

To get together at one time appears to be difficult, so I’m proposing that their will be two weeks and different venues to consider. People can elect to go on either or both. As accomodation can be booked now and cancelled at no expense pretty easily next year, it is the time to start thinking about joining us.

Week 1 – Warrnambool and Port Fairy.

March 11– 16, about 4 ½ hours travel. Two days each at both Warrnambool and Port Fairy GC’s.

Week 2 – Orange and Bathurst. April 9– 13, (second week of the Victorian but not NSW school holidays). About 7½ hours travel. One day each at the three Orange GC’s and one day at Bathurst GC. If interested in either week could you please let Alan know by the end of November so he can arrange more definite details about the program. Remember to ask your friends as well.

Our Club Christmas breakup is on December 13. The ladies will be having their individual day on December 6 and the men will be travelling to somewhere on December 20.

RACV Healesville or Mansfield for the men this year? If you have a preference, let Alan know as well.

HARNESS RACING SULKY SNIPPETS

■ Brilliant in-form 6Y0 Million Dollar CamEyes Of Couage mare Ameretto is off to Perth for the Inter Dominion Carnival after another dominant victory at Melton on Saturday, taking the (Group 3) Allied Express Cinderella Stakes for Mares M0 or better over 1720 metres.

Trained and driven by the queen of Australasian harness racing and “Hall Of Famer” Kerryn Manning, Ameretto (gate six) took no part in the early speed battle, settling three back in the moving line as South Australian visitor Just Rockon Bye led from the pole.

Sent forward racing for the bell, Ameretto despite racing three wide for the final circuit, asserted her authority in the straight, scoring by a head from the fast finishing Whirily School and a death-seating Carlas Pixel. The mile rate a sizzling 1-51.6.

■ STOP PRESS: Three emergency vehicles responded on Monday to a report of a rmotor vehicle accident on Strath Creek Rd near Reedy Creek, in which one person is believed to have died. Four people received attention at the accident scene. One was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
