WASPS WARNING ‘It is my plan to ensure we do not fall for the old ‘too little, too late’ syndr ome’ - CR ERIC LORDING
■ CR ERIC LORDING told last week’s meeting of Murrindindi Shire Council that he fears a “bad” wasp season is on its way. “I am concerned that wasp season upon us again with reports of the destruction of hundreds of queen wasps in local traps,” Cr Lording said.
● Lauren Baker and Jessica McLeish display their work at the Yea Show
Sacred Heart works at Yea Show ■ Sacred Heart Primary School students proudly displayed their artwork at the Yea Show's School Display. Students have worked hard this year with Visual Arts teacher, Suzanne Brown, studying the work of a number of artists from different historical and cultural contexts. There were some impressive symmetrical paintings by the Prep/One class that were inspired by Van Gogh's Irises, and interpretations of A Starry Night by Grades Two/Three pupils using chalk and oil pastels. Grade Two/Three students also showed two styles of work creating a Great Wave inspired by Japanese wood-block printing artist, Katsushika Hokusai. Grades Four, Five and Six students displayed their mixed media and painted artworks
of Ned Kelly, which were inspired by the Ned Kelly series of paintings by Australian artist Sydney Nolan. Linking into their learning of the Indonesian language and their Inquiry topic of 'Diversity', students displayed batik wall-hangings and cushion covers which were created using the traditional Indonesian technique of a resist technique with wax to create patterns and images on fabric after being dyed. The display showed a sample of students' artwork from all classes within the school and demonstrated their knowledge of many artistic techniques and concepts. New Principal, Judy Degenhardt, expressed her delight at the “high standard of work and level of creativity of the students”. - Contributed
“This already suggests that a bad season is coming. It is my plan to ensure we do not fall for the old ‘too little, too late’ syndrome. “Plans have been drawn up for bait stations and baiting of Council street rubbish bins but the orders have been placed and could be in short supply. “Council prest spraying contractors have not yet certified themselves to use specialist hard hitting baits and ‘facilities sprays’ such as transfer station bins etc where wasps form dangerous clouds of feeding frenzied activity,” Cr Lording said.

■ What a great loss for Yea with the passing of Pat Carter on Thursday (Nov. 23) at the age of 86. Pat was the much loved Yea storekeeper, and social media has filled with tributes and memories. Pat told Long Shots that she and hyer family had came from Wallacedale, in Victoria’s Western District around 1946, “maybe earlier”. The family, who took over the Palais Tea Rooms alongside the Yea Shire Hall, included father Frank, mother Elizabeth (nee Quinn), and brothers Leo Francis Carter and Tony Quinn Carter.
Extra hours ■ The Carter family worked extraordinary hours to serve Yea. They served morning and afternoons teas, meals, and they stocked food lines, fruit and vegetables, cigarettes ... but every one remembered them for their milk shakes and bags of lollies. The shop would often remain open late at night, especially if there was a special event such as a Yea High School speech night or a theatrical performance. One night in the late 1980s-early 1990s when local man Rob Collins was involved in a horrid accident at Devlin’s Bridge, Long Shots called in to Carter’s, to buy a few dozen hot coffees to take out hot coffees to emergency volunteers working in the wind and rain.

Long Shots
“For the cause that lacks assistance, ‘Gainst the wrongs that need resistance For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do”
Pat insisted that she pay for the coffees as her bit towards the local efforts.
Local people ■ One of the most popular memories of Pat is her ability to break a piece of string as she wrapped a purchase of fuit and vegetables in newspapers. Dozens of Yea kids tried to emulate.
Pat used to laugh as she recounted stories to us of our then fiveyear-old son James and pal Brad Skiller playing at the back of what had been Cassell’s garage. All punctuated with her laughter, as she delighted in their antics. Those boys are 35 today!
All hours ■ Long Shots is told
Thursday service ■ Memories of Pat’s extraordinary service to Yea, also bring back memories of Leo, killed in an unfortunate accident; and Tony, familiar in his grey coat. MCCormacks advise the a Rquiem Mass will be recited at 2.30pm tomorrow (Thurs.) at Sacred Heart Church, Yea, with the cortage proceeding afterwards to the Yea Cemetery. - Ash Long
Homewood Hall, 82 years ago
■ Yea ratepayers incurred hefty legal bills after comments made by Shire President, Cr David Lawson, were referred to lawyers for formal advice. Cr Lawson, in his annual report, accused The Yea Chronicle of misleading reporting. He said: “It was this type of reporting that helped divide a community.” The newspaper proprietors asked for an apology. The legal advice was understood to have been that the newspaper indeed had a case, and further action could be taken. Councillors were warned to govern their statements, and to take defamation matters into account when they spoke in the Council chamber. The Chronicle said that the accusation of misleading reporting would mean that it was being accused of contravening the Trades Practices Act which prohibits misleading business practice, which it denied doing.
Tent pegging ■ The Yea Tent Pegging Team achieved fourth place in the Tamworth national competition. Members, in riding order, were: John Bett, Gary Bloom, Graeme Broadbent and Kevin Rathbone.
West elected ■ Stephen West became President of the Yea Football-Netball Club at the Annual General Meeting. Lisa Canning became Junior Vice-President, with David ‘Tex’ McKenzie as Senior Vice-President. Greg Garlick declined to take Secretary’s position for a further season. New Westpac Manager, Michael Firth, became Treasurer; with the State Bank Manager to be auditor.
First Yea sale
■ The first Yea sale for years was scheduled for the old Yea Saleyards in January 1988. Shire Engineer Stan Kisler confirmed this in a letter to residents who had complained about Council’s plan to refurbish the yards for new sales. There would be no more than five sales a year, and cattle for sale would not be permitted to arrive earlier than 24 hours prior to the commencement of a sale.
US blood calf
■ A second pure American blood Hereford calf arrived at the ‘Lowanna’, Flowerdale, farm of Jim Racovolis. Lowanna’s manager was Les Lawson.
Restrictions start
■ In 1987, the Yea Shire Fire Prevention Committee recommended that the restrictions be imposed at midnight on Friday, December 4. Regional Officer, Ian Selliseth, issued a reminder to resients and landowners to cleanup and make safe before it was too late.

Local Government Legal reforms
■ Cr Margaret Rae told last week’s meeting of Council that it will be making a submission to the proposed reforms to the Victoria Planning Provisions. “Whilst these are primarily of a technical nature, the opportunity will be taken to also highlight the longer term and broader impact of some of the proposed changes,” Cr Rae said. “I attended the Municipal Association of Victoria Planning Committee meeting last week at which a range of significant issues were discussed: ■ legislative changes associated with affordable housing initiatives ■ Smart Planning reforms ■ MAV strategic planning survey which will be sent out again to engage more councils in this process ■ proposed MAV advocacy program in the context of the State elections next year ■ other foreshadowed initiatives. “The draft MAV submission to the proposed Victorian Planning Provisions reforms has also been made available to Council for comment,” Cr Rae said.
Stand-out event
■ Cr Jackie Ashe told last week’s Council meeting that she had attended numerous meetings this month. “One that stood out was North East Cycle Tourism Information day at the YWater Discovery Centre,” CrAshe said.
Environment and Climate Change
■ Cr Bec Bowles, in her portfolio for the Natural Environment and Climate Change, reported to Murrindindi Shire Council last week: “Round 2 of the remnant roadside project now has been completed. Kings Rd, Old Highlands Rd, Upper King Parrot Creek Rd and Burns Rd have now been added to the list, so that is eight Council roads that have had weed control, revegetation with local endemic species, with 18 nest boxes distributed throughout these four sites,” Cr Bowles said. “Sugar gliders and phascogales have been located in last year’s project sites. “The Green Army has been a great success under the tutelage of both Chris Cobern of Upper Goulburn Landcare network and Sue McNair, Council’s Environment Officer. “Some of the youth involved have now gone onto bigger things, one has become a park ranger, two are working for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning as seasonal field services officers, two are employed in revegetation businesses, one has become a landscape gardener and quite a number are now employed in work unrelated to conservation. “A lot of people have commented on what appears to be the dying off of our gum trees, when this is in fact lurps in infestation mode. “The Committee believes that this is a result of less habitat for our small native bird species, which do not live high up in trees but in lower under storey shrubbery, and it is our small native bird species that eat the lurps, which is why this particular project is so worthwhile doing. “Next round of funding for four more Council roads is being sort through a Victorian Landcare grant. The new roads are Racecourse Rd, Native Dog Rd, Old Fawcett Rd and Captains Creek Rd,” Cr Bowles said.
Bec’s busy time
■ Cr Bec Bowles told last week’s Murrindindi Council meeting, held at Yea, of a busy schedule during the past month. Her appointments included: ■ Yea Pioneer Reserve Committee of Management meeting ■ Y Water Discover Centre’s Annual General Meeting ■ Remembrance Day service ■ Wominjeka at Yea Wetlands ■ Goulburn Broken Greenhouse Alliance. Cr Leigh Dunscombe, in charge of the Corporate and Customer Service portfolio, declined to give a report this month.

Speakers against Granite Park Place Bunkhouse ■ A number of speakers at last week’s Murrindindi Shire Council meeting were against the Granite Park Place Bunkhouse plan at Buxton. Councillors, later that night, voted to refuse a planning permit for the accommodation proposal. Speaking against the bunkhouse plan were Peter Cureton, Ian Williams, Grant Stinear, Laurie Wood and Arthur Jones. Nic Bolto spoke in support of the development. Crs Margaret Rae and Bec Bowles proposed that a notice of decision to refuse to grant a permit be issued. The proposal had included the plan for an existing machinery shed to be used for shared accommodation.

‘Not spur of the moment’ ■ Cr Margaret Rae told last week’s Council meeting that in no way were decisions being made on the spur of the moment. “As evidenced by our agenda tonight, planning continues to be a dynamic and challenging space,” Cr Rae said. “Decisions such as those made tonight are based on extensive briefings and documentation so are in no way decisions made on the spur of the moment but arise from the very serious consideration given by Councillors and Council officers to the wide range of issues that emerge. “It is pleasing to see the progression of Amendment C62

■ Pietro Porcu was given permission to speak in support of his farmstay and lifestyle resort at Gobur, when Murrindindi Shire Council met at Yea last Wednesday. Speakers against the proposal were Geoff Ellis, Julie Harding, Mark Humphries and Andrew Perry. The speakers, each allowed up to five minutes, took longer than originally allowed for the open forum sessions held at Council. Crs Margaret Rae and Eric Lording successfully moved for the public participation time to be extended to allow each participant five minutes to be heard. ■ Councillors later voted to grant a permit for the resort, including a place of assembly (cooking and lifestyle classes) and cafe at the 978 Yarck Rd property.

Your rates at work
● Murrindindi Shire ad in the Romsey-Lancefield Free Press (Nov. 21) ■ A reader was travelling through Romsey last week and picked up a copy of their local Free Press newspaper. The paper includes a paid display advertisement from Murrindindi Shire Council with news of roadworks in areas including Eildon, 145km away, and Marysville, 157km away. The ‘Dindi roadworks listed are at Acheron, Alexandra, Buxton, Caveat, Devils River, Eildon, Ghin Ghin, Gobur, Highlands, Kanumbra, Kinglake West, Limestone, Maintongoon, Marysville, Narbethong, Pheasant Creek, Strath Creek, Taggerty, Thornton, Toolangi, Whanregarwen, Yarck and Yea. Perhaps the Murrindindi Shire Councillors, who are elected to oversee the prudent and wise spending of Council funds, should investigate why paid advertisements - at ratepayers’ expense are regularly being published in newspapers, 150-km away. The Council’s Corporate and Customer Service portfolio is the responsibility of Kinglake Ward Councillor, Leigh Dunscombe. ■ The Romsey-Lancefield Free Press re-appears as the North Central Review at Kilmore; and also as the Whittlesea Review, several bundles of which find their way to several Kinglake Ranges outlets in the Murrindindi Shire.
Your rates NOT at work ■ Murrindindi Shire Council’s gabage collection service missed out on doing what it was supposed to do around part of Alexandra last week. The Council was forced to publish a notice on Facebook: “Residents on Swann Rd, Endicott Road, Spring Creek Rd and Maroondah Hwy (between Josephine Cutting and Spring Creek Rd) will probably have noticed that your bins were not collected yesterday. “Residents in these areas are asked to leave, or replace your bins at the normal collection point and they will be collected this afternoon. “Apologies for any inconvenience caused. If you have any questions please contact Council on 5772 0332.” One of the few Facebookers to respond to the post left a ‘laughter’ emoji. Laughing at ... not laughing with.
89 out of 100 were ignored ■ If the community heard of a nation where 89 per cent of the population was denied its say, there would be moral outrage. Human rights organisations would protest and vocal do-gooders would march to protest at the injustice to democracy. Yet, Murrindindi Shire Council is perpetuating a myth that it conducted a highly sophisticated ‘engagement’ with the public, with its ‘Have Your Say’ survey conducted at the start of this year. A number of Councils around Victoria have been trying a similar charade, each also with their own ‘Have Your Say’ questionnaires. In any controversial decision, Murrindindi Shire Councillors refer to the survey, and have their spin doctors pitch the line that their mandate comes from an unsophisticated threequestion survey, in which 89 per cent of the local population did not participate. The idea of the ‘Have Your Say’ survey strategy was put to the Councillors soon after their election in October last year. Councillors were, interestingly, coaxed to take ownership of the survey, some actually personally handing out the forms. Councillors are supposed to be independent, arms-length, overseers of the work by Council staff. Instead, unwisely, to use an old political maxim, they were persuaded to “enter the cage” and become part of the circus act.
● A beaming Murrindindi Mayor, Cr Charlie Bisset, poses for a publicity photo, supposedly filling in a ‘Have Your Say’ form. The survey asked little. It started The survey was not scientically carried out. Many of its respondents with a ‘Dorothy Dixer’: a loaded question designed to elicit a positive rewere primary school-age children. sponse, especially towards attitudes towards the environment. The first of the three questions was “What do you like best about living in your community?” Only small five space lines, on a tiny A5 piece of paper, were given for responses for the two other questions: ■ What would make your community a better place to live? ■ What do you think the new Murrindindi Shire Council should focus on over the next four years? Cleverly, the survey organisers included spaces for names and contact details, thereby giving them a Privacy Act excuse for not making the Have Your Say response forms open for inspection by interested members of the public. Tens of thousands of dollars were spent on the survey, and the Council’s Annual Report, approved last week at the Shire meeting held at Yea. Mayor Cr Charlie Bissett is pushing the line that Council is communicating widely with the community. The truth is that the Council misses out on communicating weekly with more than 60 per cent of the population. The Council postures that it is communicating through the internet and its Facebook page. In truth, most Facebook posts have only achieved a handful of ‘likes’. “"Council worked hard to improve our communication with the community following the launch of our Facebook page. It has been great to see our page gain considerable momentum and chatter with our ability ● Murrindindi Shire Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ survey to communicate a broad range of inasked only three questions, including a push-poll ‘loaded quesformation out to our community,” said tion’: “what do you like best about living in your community?” Cr Bisset.

No names, no packdrill
■ It’s official. The world has gone mad. Or at least that part of the world called Murrindindi. Items in the agenda for last week’s Council meeting had slabs of content blacked out, to keep private the identity of staffers such as a Senior Planner of the day, who provided advice on planning matters. Accountability now seems to be optional.
Punctured politics
● Flat tyres at Kinglake File photo ■ Murrindindi Shire Council’s management of the Kinglake Waste Transfer Station has come under criticism from a local resident (name withheld by request). “An example of our council at work. In recent weeks, after the metal waste had been collected from the tip, pieces of metal and wire were left sticking out of the ground,” the Kinglake Ranges resident told The Local Paper. “In order to drop metal waste, you have ti drive over this area, which only has a dirt/clay surface. “I contacted the Council by email, when, after one trip to the tip, I had two punctured tyres. “My tyres have a good covering of tread, and the repairer showed me the two pieces of metal that he removed. I had no response from Council. “A few weeks ago, a tyre was yet again punctured, and had to be changed before I could leave the tip. “Yet again I contacted the Council. I got a response from them saying that they add crushed rock to this area - they don't, and that they are investigating the purchase of an electromagnet to clean up the area. “I was offered no apology, or offer to pay for the damage,” said the annoyed resident. The Council’s Infrasturcture and Waste portfolio is the responsibility of King Parrot Councillor, Eric Lording.

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood
Early start for WeHo awards season
■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.
Out and About
● Alan Johnson and William Karpiak receiving the Creative Business Award 25 years ago
■ One of the Walt Disney Company's most important executives, the Pixar co-founder John Lasseter, said that he would take "a six-month sabbatical" after unspecified "missteps" that made some staffers feel "disrespected or uncomfortable". Mr Lasseter, 60, made the announcement in a lengthy email sent to employees at Disney's animation division, which he leads as chief creative officer. "I especially want to apologise to anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of an unwanted hug or any other gesture they felt crossed the line in any way, shape or form," Mr Lasseter wrote in the email, a copy of which was viewed by The New York Times. "No matter how benign my intent, everyone has the right to set their own boundaries and have them respected." Filmmaker Oliver Stone has responded to the sexual harassment allegations actress Melissa Gilbert made against him. During an interview with Andy Cohen on his satellite radio show, Gilbert said Stone had put her through a "humiliating and horrid" audition process for his 1991 movie The Doors. Stone said it was clear what kind of film Gilbert was auditioning for and insisted there was "a safe environment for all actors who auditioned." "We auditioned dozens of actors for roles in The Doors and it was made clear from the outset that our film was going to be a raunchy, no-holds-barred rock 'n' roll movie," Stone said in a statement. "Anyone auditioning was told the scenes would be rehearsed and performed from a script, with my casting director, Risa Bramon Garcia, present throughout the process to ensure a safe environment for all actors who auditioned."

Alan Johnson has made a significant contribution to the Australian hotel and restaurant industry over 50 years. In responding to the award Alan said: "It is well known that Australian hotels and restaurants are among the best in the world for quality, service and food. If you are successful in Australia it lays a solid foundation for achieving success in other parts of the world, particularly the USA."
Milennials still want Mum
■ Jennifer Lawrence is back on the market. The Oscarwinning actress and boyfriend Darren Aronofsky have split after a year of dating. Insiders revealed the break-up happened a month ago, and the two remain friends. Lawrence, 27, who starred in 48-year-old Aronofsky's polarising flick, Mother! previously praised the director's "brilliant," but disturbed vision.
■ The share of older Millennials living with relatives is still rising, underscoring the lingering obstacles faced by Americans who entered the workforce during and after the Great Recession. About 20 per cent of adults age 26 to 34 are living with parents or other family members, a figure that has climbed steadily the past decade and is up from 17 per cent in 2012, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by Trulia, a real estate research firm. The increase defies record job openings and a 4.1 per cent unemployment rate, the lowest in 17 years.
■ David Cassidy, the actor, singer and teen heartthrob best known for his role as the band member with the green eyes and the feathered haircut on the 1970s television sitcom The Partridge Family, died on Tuesday. He was 67. His death was confirmed by his publicist, Jo-Ann Geffen, who said the cause was liver failure.
Eagles flying again
Women support Senator
■ The Eagles will embark on a North American tour next year, with scattered dates scheduled throughout the spring and summer. The trek begins March 14 at the United Centre in Chicago. Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will join the Eagles for four stadium concerts, while James Taylor and His All-Star Band will open two shows and Chris Stapleton will open one performance. Tickets for most dates go on sale December 2 local time via Ticketmaster, though tickets for shows in Arlington, Texas, Denver and Washington D.C. go on sale December 1. Complete information is available on the Eagles' website. www.eagles.com
Hall of Famer dies
■ Mel Tillis, who earned a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame and a National Medal of Arts as a singer and writer of enduring songs like Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town, and who was equally known for the stutter he employed to humorous and self-deprecating effect onstage, died last week in Ocala, Florida. He was 85. Mr Tillis had "battled intestinal issues since early 2016 and never fully recovered," his publicist, Don Murry Grubbs, said in a statement. The suspected cause of death was respiratory failure.
One less Partridge
From my Suite at the Ramada Plaza Complex on Santa Monica Blvd
■ Dozens of women who worked with Al Franken when the now-senator was at Saturday Night Live have written a letter in his defence following his allegations of sexual misconduct. The 36 women list condemned the Minnesota Democrat's behaviour but ultimately said, "not one of us ever experienced any inappropriate behaviour." They wrote, "We feel compelled to stand up for Al Franken, whom we have all had the pleasure of working with over the years on Saturday Night Live, adding, "In our experience, we know Al as a devoted and dedicated family man, a wonderful comedic performer, and an honourable public servant."

■ Americans eat approximately 350 slices of pizza per second. The word "pizza" means, "pie" in Italian. While pizza in some form has been baked since antiquity, the first "official" pizzeria opened in Naples around 1830. Samuel Morse, an American most famous for inventing the telegraph, noted that pizza was a "nauseating cake" that looked like "a piece of bread that had been taken reeking out of the sewer." In America, annual pizza sales exceed $28 billion a year. Pizza is the second-leading source of calories in the diet of American children, second behind grain desserts, such as cookies and other carb-heavy treats. More than five billion pizzas are sold each year worldwide.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: THE CROWN - Season 1: Genre: Biography/History/Drama/ TV Series/10 Parts. Cast: Claire Foy, Matt Smith, Vanessa Kirby, John Lithgow, Jeremy Northam. Year: 2016. Rating: MA15+ Rating: Stars: ***** Verdict: Queen Elizabeth II is a newly-wed faced with the prospect of leading the world's most famous monarchy while forging a relationship with legendary Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, as the British Empire is in decline following WWII and the political world in turmoil. "The Queen" and "Frost/Nixon" scribe Peter Morgan has masterfully researched and created a spectacular and towering television event with searing conviction revealing the Queen's private journey behind the public facade with daring frankness, in a world of power and privilege and behind locked doors from Westminster and Buckingham Palace. Clare Foy is captivating as the young Queen Elizabeth II, as are Matt Smith as Prince Philip, Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret, Jeremy Northam as Anthony Eden, Jared Harris as King George VI and Alex Jennings as The Duke of Windsor, among others, however, it is John Lithgow as Prime Minister Winston Churchill that excels with an award winning performance that punches a hole right through the screen. Cinematography, period detail, costume design, production design, music score, editing and pacing are exemplary on every level, resulting in a compelling, insightful, thrilling, poignant, thought-provoking and ultimately a hugely entertaining experience, a monumental and unforgettable multi-award winning television must-see event! FILM: THE LOST CITY OF Z: Genre: Adventure/Biography/Drama. Cast: Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller, Franco Nero. Year: 2016. Rating: M. Length: 141 Minutes. Stars: ***½ Verdict: The true story of British explorer Col. Percival Fawcett, who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region, and despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment the determined Fawcett - supported by his devoted wife, his son and aide returns in the 1920s to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case. Following the monumental mess that was "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword," Charlie Hunnam redeems himself here as he returns to the screen as the legendary British explorer Col. Percival Fawcett, with a performance that is believable and passionate. "Apocalypse Now" meets "Raiders of the Lost Ark," this early turn-ofthe-century tale is brought effectively to life by writer-director James Gray (The Immigrant/2013) based on the book by David Grann. Filmed in Northern Ireland and Columbia this journey is also driven by striking cinematography by Darius Khondji (Seven, Midnight in Paris), along with superb production design, period detail and costume design. Thrilling, poignant and thought provoking, along with a superb supporting cast, period detail and costume design .... they all ensure a unique journey and biopic of a determined young human being, and best enjoyed from the safety of your home. FILM: THE HITMAN'S BODYGUARD: Genre: Action/Comedy. Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek. Year: 2017. Rating: MA15+ Length: 118 Minutes. Stars: **½ Verdict: The world's once top, but now disgraced, bodyguard gets stuck with a hit man and old foe who must testify at the International Court of Justice against a brutal dictator, so they must put their differences aside to make it to the trial on time. Even though the one liners, bullets, car chases and pyrotechnics run thick and fast, this effort is a tiresome, unengaging and all too predictably formulaic popcorn action romp that even though doesn't require too much effort to get through, it doesn't leave any feeling of satisfaction either. No acting honours forthcoming here, however, Ryan Reynolds as the disgraced bodyguard and, most notably, Samuel L. Jackson as the hitman, are clearly having a good time as the Russian mob and subsequent mayhem unleashes around them. Far from what it could have been, this is a misfire for the major sum of its parts, sloppy and perhaps too long at nearly two hours in length, but nonetheless, there's some moments of fun to be had with this B-Grade and cliché riddled retread of a tried and true formula that is almost as old as cinema itself. Lethal Weapon and John Wick are just two that did it far better! - James Sherlock

Jim & Andy
■ The Great Beyond (M). 94 minutes. Now streaming on Netflix. Fascinating documentary which chronicles Jim Carrey's scary immersion into the role of late comedian Andy Kaufman, for the under-rated 1999 film Man On The Moon. With hours of footage shot during production, we see how Carrey left his own self at the gate and totally became Kaufman (or his alter ego Tony Clifton), only answering to those names during the shoot. Family, friends, cast and crew react in various ways to the actor's strange behaviour, while the strain shows on director Milos Forman, who has a difficult time handling the superstar. There are new interviews with Carrey, who explores the reasons for his drastic decision to completely inhabit his subject, but it is
In This Corner of The World
(M). 130 minutes. Opens December 7 at selected cinemas. Movingly told, gorgeously animated film, which follows newly married teenager Suzu from Hiroshima to the small town of Kure, focusing on the civilians she encounters, along with events she witnesses, before the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on August 6, 1945. Set between 1933 and 1946, this is a touching, patiently detailed, and eventually harrowing film that sadly looks like it is as relevant today as the period in which the strongwilled Suzu lives. Not as emotionally draining as Children Of Hiroshima (1952), The Grave Of The Fireflies (1988) and Black Rain (1989), but is still highly recommended viewing. RATING - **** - Aaron Rourke

■ Sunset Boulevard is on my list of 10 favourite films. In 1950 Nancy Olson was only 22 when she was cast in the role of Betty Schaefer by Paramount Studios. Nancy received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance opposite William Holden and Gloria Swanson. Nancy was born in Milwaukee in 1928, educated at the University of Wisconsin and later moved to California. She was spotted by a talent agent in a stage production and signed to a seven-year contract by Paramount Studios. After a good part in the western film Canadian Pacific, Nancy landed the "role of a lifetime" in Sunset Boulevard. I did speak to Nancy Olson several years ago for a radio interview. Nancy told me that whilst they were filming Sunset Boulevard William Holden was having marital problems, he was not getting good roles and his career was a bit shaky. The character of ‘Joe Gillis’ could not have come at a better time in his career and he was nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award. Nancy went on to make three more films with William Holden. During her film career she was cast opposite some of Hollywood's famous older leading men. Her co-stars included, Randolph Scott, John Wayne and Fred MacMurray. Nancy's first husband , Alan Jay Lerner, wrote lyrics for the musicals: Brigadoon,

Camelot and Gigi. In 1956 Alan dedicated his stage production of My Fair Lady to her. Nancy's films include Submarine Command, Big Jim McLain, Pollyanna, The Absent Minded Professor and Son of Flubber. Nancy told me she had attended several opening nights for various productions of the stage musical Sunset Boulevard. She mentioned that director Billy Wilder described the show as "a permanent long shot of my movie." In 1962, Nancy married Alan Livingston who was Chairman of the Board at Capitol Records and signed Frank Sinatra in the early 1950s when nobody wanted him. He also created the character Bozo The

Cyclonic 160-kmh jet blast claims victim ■ It is one of the most-beautiful and also most-visited islands in the Caribbean, but there’s a beach there that you need to give a big miss to if you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy the sea and sun in peace and quiet. Because this beach is just over the road from the end of the main runway of Princess Juliana International Airport on Saint Martin Island, and jumbo jets as large as Boeing 747s roar over it a mere 10 to 15 metres above the sands when arriving or departing – some 61,000 aircraft in and out every year, ranging from those big international jets, to little half-dozen seat island-hopper propeller jobs. And camera-toting beach-goers and simply thrill-seekers will gather on the sands directly under the big jets’ fly paths to brave-out being hit by the cyclonic 160kmh blasts from the screaming engines … many often being bowled head-over-heels along the beach or even into the sea by those blasts. In fact in just July of this year, a 57-year old New Zealand tourist died when she was blown head-first into a concrete block on the beach – the first person to lose their life on the island to a jet’s blast. Saint Martin is just 87 square kilometres in size, with a little over half still a constituent country of the Netherlands named Sint Maarten, and the remainder an Overseas Collectivity of France and spelt SaintMartin, and the whole referred to officially in English as Saint Martin. And small as it is, it’s Princess Juliana Airport handles an amazing 1,000,000-plus visitors annually who come to enjoy the island’s average 27 degree days, sunny beaches, coraland cave-diving, exceptional dutyfree shopping, dining that is big on seafoods and barbecues, and nighttime dancing to calypso rhythms. And being bowled-over by the 160kmh blast of jet-plane engines.
Trump 757 stays home
■ Just as many new recipients of a company car have to decide what to do with the old-faithful family vehicle – keep it, sell it or give it to the kids – on a far loftier level President Donald Trump had to decide what to do with

with David Ellis a different old-faithful, and that was his personal Boeing 757 jet he calls ‘T-Bird’. Because as President he was given an even bigger Boeing to flit around in, a 747-200 known to the world as ‘Air Force One’. Donald Trump had declared on his election that his US$100m 757 ‘TBird’ would transition to presidential jet, as it was, after all, worthy of the role with leather armchairs for 43 passengers, gold plated seatbelt buckles, his own master bedroom with gold plated ensuite shower and handbasin taps, a guest’s bedroom, a surroundsound TV-cum-home-cinema with 145cm (near five feet) screen, and dining and boardroom areas. But his new presidential minders declared a firm No, citing security reasons and telling him he had to use Air Force One. No argument. And, anyway, AF1 came with a presidential bedroom suite, seating for 70 officials and guests, a conference/ dining table, teleconferencing facilities capable of televising live to the world from 40,000 feet, a medical centre with operating theatre and fulltime professional medical staff (and even a stock of his own-type blood,) an onboard security team, and both anti-missile and radar-jamming facilities. So it’s meant that whilst-ever he is President, the Trump-owned Boeing 757 stays at home, alongside his per-
■ An intruder who broke into Buckingham Palace in 1838 and was caught sitting on the royal throne with pieces of Queen Victoria’s underwear stuffed into his trousers, told police that he had got in through an unlocked window, and had pinched the royal knickers and whatever else when rummaging through Victoria’s dressing room. And he further shocked police by revealing that he was just 14 years of age, and had dodged apprehension on several prior occasions when confronted by staff, telling them that he was a palace chimney sweep and which they believed because of his unkempt condition in body and clothing. The bizarre story of Edward Jones and his obsession with Queen Victoria – herself just 19 at the time – quickly became the talk of the UK, particularly as he broke into the Palace on at least four occasions, and twice was found sitting filthy, as he seldom if ever washed, on the royal throne and was arrested. And on a further occasion he was discovered hiding under a sofa in the Queen’s sitting room at midnight, and on yet another snacking in a royal apartment on food he’d stolen from the palace kitchen. He was briefly imprisoned on each occasion, despite pleas by his father to the courts that he was insane. On discharge from his final imprisonment, Jones turned to burglary and was deported to Australia where he changed his name from Edward to Thomas Jones, and actually got a job as the Perth Town Crier. However he slipped into alcoholism, moved to Victoria, and on Boxing Day 1893 when drinking on a bridge in Bairnsdale, fell off drunk and died when landing head-first four metres below. He is buried in an unmarked grave in the Bairnsdale Cemetery. A memorial plaque in his adopted name of Thomas Jones, incorrectly states that he had been deported for “breaching security at Windsor Castle” rather than Buckingham Palace.
OK. With John O’Keefe Heading for White House?
■ Entertainers in the US have gone crazy over the idea of becoming the next President of the United States of America. Already expressing their desire to call The White House 'home' are rapper Coolie, wrestler/action man Dwayne Johnson, Hollywood celeb Kanye West , and others .Got to wait until 2018 to see who are final nominations .
Birthday boy Frank
■ International entertainer Frank Ifield is soon to celebrate his 80th birthday amongst friends cruising the Sydney Harbour on a luxury cruiser . Theme of the party is We Remember You. Born in Dural, NSW, Frank Ifield made his singing debut on Bandstand in the late 1950s/ early'60s before venturing to swinging London where he toured extensively, including having The Beatles as his (unpaid) support act There are sure to be plenty of 'remember when 's' as the youthful as ever Ifield catches up with pals from his early yodeling days in Sydney. Your invite is sure to be in the mail, but you know how slow Aussie Post is these days.
Never a dull moment
■ When it comes to current affairs, 60 Minutes has a track record of breaking the big stories, or in some recent cases of reporters creating their own international incidents. Currently before the courts is 60 Minutes reporter Liz Hayes who is being accused of defamation over a story she filed about a father abducting his daughter for a pre-arranged marriage overseas. Former 60 Minutes reporter Michael Usher, now at Seven, has had his hosting gig on Murder Uncovered axed. Usher will continue reading Seven's Weekend News.
Showbiz gatecrashers
■ Denise Drysdale and showbiz reporter Craig Bennett, both of Studio 10, attended a charity function at Parliament House, Sydney. When it came time to say farewell, Denise and Craig got lost in the maze of rooms, until they stumbled into where Cabinet was sitting, discussing how much to donate to a certain charity. Quick as a flash Denise put up her hand and offered $ 5000. The offer recorded in official records, and Denise and Craig went on their way. True story.
TV casting call
■ A further series of Shark Tank has been commissioned by the Ten Network. This program has been a moderate winner ratings-wise despite certain of the Shark panel members making headlines for their own businesses getting into financial bother. Shark Tank needs a permanent time slot, not being a program filler wherever a vacancy occurs. - John O’Keefe

■ JOHN ROZENTALS is knocked out by the chardonnay that won the Trophy for Best Wine at this year's Orange Wine Show. The relatively slow development of Orange's Rowlee Estate, established nearly 20 years ago on the northern slopes of Mount Canobolas by Deonne and Nik Samodol, has come to fruition with the recent release of its 2016 Chardonnay, which was awarded the Wine-of-the-Show Trophy at the 2017 Orange Wine Show. The wine also won trophies at the show for best white wine and best young chardonnay, in addition to a gold medal in the youngchardonnay class of the 2017 NSW Wine Awards. The wine, made from grapes grown at 950 metres, is an outstanding chardonnay with admirable finesse (see tasting notes) and is a tribute to Nicole Samodol, Deonne's and Nik's daughter and winemaker, together with her partner James Manny. Nicole brought a wealth of industry experience to Rowlee, having worked in some of Melbourne's leading restaurants and hotels, including the Stokehouse and the Adelphi. "Being a member of the Victorian Sommeliers gave me the opportunity to get behind the scenes with Australia's best cool-climate chardonnay and pinot noir producers," she said. "Our philosophy is to make small

winemakers are harvesting their collective wisdom to make the best possible wines. The eight-hectare vineyard includes chardonnay, nebbiolo, pinot noir, pinot gris, riesling, sauvignon blanc and arneis. WINE REVIEWS Rowlee 2016 Nebbiolo ($40): The Samodol family's love for Italian food is obvious in the varietal selection in the Rowlee Vineyard, and this superb dry red, made from the prince of Piedmont's grape varieties, shows that the choice has plenty of merit. I love this wine's gorgeous acidity and tannin - and its complex spicy flavours. It has a long life in front of it. Champagne Lanson Black Label Brut (about $50 but as little as $40 from Dan Murphy): Creamy, yeasty and complex, this is one of my favourite Champagne styles. Currently comes packaged in a metal 'music box' the doubles as a handy loudspeaker for mobile phone and iPad. WINE OF THE WEEK Rowlee 2016 Chardonnay ($40): This cool-climate dry white full deserves its accolades from the 2017 Orange Wine Show. It's lean and complex, with magnificent flavours at the nectarine end of the fruit spectrum and definitely the sense that it reward cellaring. Deftly handled oak complements rather than intrudes on the fruit. A top wine that's a tribute to both vineyard and winery.

What The Papers Say Mayor re-elected
■ Amanda McClaren has been unanimously re-elected unopposed as Strathbogie Shire’s mayor for the next year. Six of the seven councillors voted for the top job at the special meeting, with CrAlistair Thomson an apology. The council also elected Cr John Mason unopposed as deputy mayor. - Seymour Telegraph
Abduction fears
■ A second child has been approached by a stranger, this time near the Mansfield Steiner School. The incident occurred when Mansfield police were notified that a driver of a black sedan had approached a child and asked that they get into the car. “We immediately had three vehicles on the ground, checking all the black vehicles in that area,” Sergeant Nathan Pelling of Mansfield police said. - Mansfield Courier
Spend locally
■ Residents of the Shire of Strathbogie are urged to spend their money locally this Christmas and help local businesses, and the community, survive and thrive. Figures from last year’s ‘Shop and Win’ Christmas promotion - a co-operation between Thomson’s Home Furnishers, Business Euroa, The Euroa Gazette, and a number of other local businesses - showed that nearly $350,000 was spent at participating businesses during the promotional period. - Euroa Gazette
Logging suspended
■ The Federal Court in Melbourne on Friday, November 17, ordered that logging not proceed in 34 areas across the Central Highlands, ahead of a two-day hearing starting on December 14. Environment group Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum challenged VicForest’s exemption from Federal environment protection law in the Friday hearing, calling for an interim injunction. Environmental JusticeAustralia filed the application on behalf of FLP. - Mountain Views Mail
Plans progress
■ More than 30 units could be built on the site of a Lilydale park that is tipped to be sold to a charity for social housing. A Yarra Ranges Council report said the municipality did not have enough social or affordable housing to meet the future needs of the community. The council has also revealed a proposal to transform the park on Anderson St. - Lilydale Leader
On the backburner
■ A lack of planned burns are putting people’s lives at risk in the looming bushfire season, Nillumbik Mayor Peter Clarke warns. In a sternly worded letter to Emergency Services Minister James Merlino, seen by the Leader, Cr Clarke said he was worried that some planned burns — designed to reduce the shire’s fire risk — had been postponed for 12 months. The burns are now scheduled for autumn next year. But that is small comfort to firefighters facing what is predicted to be a scorching summer. - Diamond Valley Leader
Crs gagged
■ Former mayor Ricky Kirkham was among two councillors kicked out of last week’s Whittlesea Council meeting for “behaving like grumpy spoiled kids”. The North Ward Councillor, along with Cr Mary Lalios, were both shown the door by new Mayor Kris Pavlidis during a tense 5½ hour meeting — the first to be held since this month’s mayoral vote. - Whittlesea Leader

From Our 1917 Files
News From Our Boys
■ Private C. Hennebery writes as follows to the ladies of the local Trench Comforts Fund:Palestine, 6th September. 1917. Dear Ladies of Yea, I now take the pleasure of writing these few lines thanking you for the parcel you were so kind to send. I distributed the socks to the boys. They were so pleased to get them. I could not go around the trenches because we are not in trenches. We are living in dug-outs at present. We often go out looking for " Jacko." Sometimes we have a bit of a brush with him. We always get in touch with his mounted patrols. They won't wait for fight. They always retire back to their strong positions. The place we are camped in now is very dusty. We have to ride over a mile to water our horses. The weather is getting much cooler of late. There's very few Yea boys in the 8th Regiment. There is some talk of giving us furlough to Australia. We applied, but were turned down. There's not much chance until the war is over, and that will be a long time the way things are going. We were getting seven days leave to Cairo, but it is stopped. There's a rest camp at Port Said. We get two days there. We had to travel in cattle trucks all the way and don't forget its rough. The boys don't like it. My luck was in. I got to Cairo: won't bother Port Said. If any of you good ladies happen to see my mother tell her I am well. I have not heard from her for two mails. I suppose Yea is the same as ever. Will now conclude, thanking you all once more for the parcel, I remain, yours truly, Chris. Hennebery
At Glenburn
■ A most enjoyable and successful entertainment, concluding with a dance, was held in the Glenburn hall on Friday last. The school children, under the direction of Miss Power, the head teacher, assisted by Miss Winnie Wall, hon. accompaniste, contributed the first part of the programme and the Glenburn Amateur Dramatic Society the second part: Of the children's part Miss A. White rendered two items-a song and dance, and an Irish Jig-both of which were deservedly encored. Master Jack Muller gave a humorous recitation, cleverly, and was well received. The descriptive song, "'Til the boys come home," by the pupils, was received with delight, the stage effect being excellent. The chorus song '' Off to Philadelphia," by four girls and four boys in costume, was loudly encored, The descriptive song, "The heroes of the Dardanelles," with Miss Lawson as Britannia and chorus of children forming the map of Australia in the back ground, had a fine effect and pleased the audience, Miss Wall gave a well selected song in masterly style, which was highly appreciated!
Trawool tragedy
■ Arthur Geoffrey Oldring, who is charged with the murder of Mrs Margaret Taylorand her daughter, Rosie, is at present in the Melbourne Gaol. He is under remand to the City Court on December 3, and will probably be remanded from there to Seymour. Oldring is described as a man of great mental power, and, to judge by his conversation, has made a wide study of history and political economy. Quoting freely and ac curately from many authorities, he kept the detectives interested throughout the journey to Melbourne. He proved that he had a remarkable memory for dates, and seldom paused in his narratives of the lives of great rulers and the in cidents and effects of past wars. He has made a close study of the Bible. Mrs Jessie Brown, Oldring's sister, who was admitted to the Melbourne Hospital on Saturday suffering from the effects of an irritant poisoning, died on Monday evening.

The Yea Story: Part 27
Yea Council complains about ‘The Age’ From The Story of Yea by Harvey Blanks ■ Following the deputations, the Council advertised for a doctor to live in the town, offering to pay £150 a year for his services as Shire health officer. But there were no applicants. Efforts to obtain a resident doctor continued throughout 1883. Twice, a man was appointed health officer at £150 a year, but on each occasion the appointment was rescinded when, after inspecting the town, the doctor concerned refused to live there full-time. Becoming desperate, the Council offered to pay a mileage subsidy should the doctor be required to drive his buggy more than one mile outside the town to visit patients, but still there were no takers. On one occasion, the Council even wrote to a Dr Arthur Watson in Manchester, England, asking him to forward his intended scale of charges and offering to help pay his fare. No answer was received. However, in September 1884, a Dr Lock signified his willingness to reside full-time in Yea, and a grateful Council appointed him its salaried health officer. Ever since becoming a Shire Council, Yea’s meetings had proceeded with reasonable decorum and a notable lack of those bitter personality battles that had marked the Roads Board years. In 1884 however, strife erupted once more on a scale that brought Government intervention. The actual cause of the conflict was a minor matter, apparently not worthy of lost tempers, which suggests that the trouble would have occurred in any case, and that any issue would have served as the trigger. At a Council meeting in May of that year, after a rather rambling discussion concerning the Railways Department’s refusal to allow fare concessions on country lines, Cr Quinlan moved that no action should be taken on a suggestion that a joint deputation of shires should be arranged to wait upon the minister concerned. Cr Scale seconded the motion, but the president Cr J.D. Webster Jnr refused to put it to the meeting. When both councillors protested, he declared the meeting closed and left the chair. The meeting promptly re-opened itself, appointed Cr Cairns to the chair and the motion was unanimously carried. For the next three meetings, the president refused to allow the secretary to read the minutes beyond this point, declarting that everything that happened after he had left the chair was illegal. Each time that the Council protested, the president quitted the chair and walked from the Council chamber. This did not deter the remaining councillors, who appointed their own chairman on each occasion and declared the minutes to be confirmed. On the third occasion this happened the president returned to the chair and attempted to carry on with the meeting, but fireworks erupted when Cr Quinlan moved that “as the president takes home letters addressed to the presidentr and Shire of Yea away from the Post Office, and brings them to the meeting only

fused to do so until he had been reimbused for the cost of the repairs he had carried out, “plus 2s 6d for my labour”. But not everyone, apparently, was eager to have the pump restored; one ratepayer wrote to say his wife had signed the petition without his knowledge, and he had “given her a good thump for doing so”, and would like her name removed from the list. In April 1891, after holding a competition for the “best and most economical water supply plan for the town”, with a £60 prize, the Council sent the entries to the Water Supply Department and asked it to adjudicate. A committee of citizens appointed at a public meeting later met the Council to receive the decision of the Department’s chief engineer, Mr Stewart Murry, who recommended the gravitation scheme proposed by Messrs Hodgson and Smith, although he found their estimate of £3750 rather low and considered it should be increased to £4000. The Yea Water Supply Committee then spent a month examining the proposed scheme, after which it recommended that it should be adopted, provided the source of the water be altered from Limestone Creek to Murrinidindi Creek. The Lands Department had previously recommended that four acres should be reserved as the site of a reservoir on top of Marshmallow Hill overloking the town, but the Council decided to ask for the whole block of six acres, and this was approved in the following December. In spite of these brave plans, a Water Trust was not formed until seven years later. The Shire was perpetually short of funds for the most modest works, and even the winners of the prizewinning water supply scheme had to wait six months before they were able to able to collect their £60 prize money. Cr J.D. Webster, back on the Council, put forward an interim plan to levy a water rate of 9d in the £1 on all properties within reach of the Railways Department tank, so that pipes might be laid from the tank to their front boundaries. His plan was approved but little was done, and townspeople continued to draw their water from the solitary tap in High Street. Such was the demand for its facilities that be the beginning of 1894 the Council had to ban the taking of water from the tap by any persons other than ratepayers, and several enterprising men were prosecuted for filling their tank carts and then selling the water to homes on the outskirts. The nightsoil collection service had at last got under way, but was the subject of constant complaints. The Council had spent £38 on the purchase of “an iron wagon with covers” and a contract had been let to a Mr D.E. Ellis at 6d per pan per week. Howver, he and his workmen were in the habit of driving their iron juggernaut into back yards in the small hours of the morning, causing irate householders to complain of damaged lawns, ripped up shrubs and broken trees. ● To be continued next week in The Local Paper.

Strathewen won the toss and invited Kinglake to bat and after 19 overs they had skittled Kinglake's batsmen to have them all out for 25. Top scorer for Kinglake was the extras column with 6, then Ted Groenewegen, a veteran of the club whose last season was 2011-12, with 5 runs. Strathewen then faced 24 overs and declared at 147 for 3 wickets - one each to Josh Green, James Gibbs and Declan Grant. This left Kinglake with the prospect of facing 27 overs before the close of play. Unfortunately for Strathewen, Kinglake had faced just two overs before the heavens opened and rain forced the umpire to abandon play for the rest of the day. Day 2 saw Jason Gaffee and Alex Hybinett resume their innings and Alex faced 39 balls in 50 minutes before being run out for 6. Their partnership was worth 46 runs. Ted Groenewegen came and went for 0 from two balls and James Gibbs came to join Jason at the crease. James managed to stay the course and remained 19 not out at the end of Kinglake's second innings. Jason was on a mission and scored 55 from 53 balls in 72 minutes. After he was brilliantly caught there was a parade of five batsmen with Max Murray 0, Tim Stonehouse 0, Keith Martin 0, Josh Green 1 and Declan Walters 2. Extras consisted of 4 byes and 3 leg byes. Two batsmen for Kinglake were absent out so the total achieved by Kinglake from 25 overs was 90 runs which gave Strathewen the win by an innings and 32 runs. The next round is again a two-day game at home against the Preston Footballers 2nd XI. - Bruce Stonehouse

YEA CRICKET CLUB REPORT A-GRADE
■ Yea has surged to the top of the A-Grade ladder after a tense victory over Kilmore on Saturday. Kilmore won the toss and elected to bat first, starting conservatively they progressed slowly to 13 up against some tight Yea bowling, before losing their first wicket for 13. From here Yea was able to turn the screws and reduce Kilmore to 5/34, with Ben Tarran and Corey Malcolm claiming two wickets apiece, deserved reward for a couple of outstanding spells of bowling. From here however Kilmore was able to graft out a middle order fightback to scrap their way to 109 from their 45 overs, a below par but defendable total. Yea's innings started poorly losing opener Darcy Pell in the first over, beginning a pattern of regular wickets for Yea, leaving them precariously placed at 5/55 in their chase. However a couple of gutsy and well-constructed middle to lower order partnerships from Matt Lockhart (25), Andrew Butterworth (18) and Nathan Beattie (10) steadied the ship and took Yea to the precipice of victory. Kilmore took a late wicket through a run out to reduce Yea to 8/107 to set up a nervy finish to a tight match, however Brad Clements and Mick Waghorn were able to score he final few runs, and Yea escaped with a memorable victory. The win for Yea, combined with Broadford losing their match moved Yea up to the top of the ladder. A victory next weekend against Tallarook would guarantee Yea the right to host the one-day final, while a loss would mean the Tigers would need to rely on other results to go their way to make the final.
