RECYCLING OVERLOAD Whittlesea Crs call for monitor

■ Concerned councillors have requested a Special Council Meeting to appoint a Municipal Monitor for 18 months at Whittlesea City Council.

At a Special Council Meeting held last week, Crs Kirkham, Monteleone and Desiato ● Cr Ricky called for a monitor Kirkham to be appointed by the Local Government Minister to review governance and council decision making.

“There is a culture of censorship where poor decisions are rammed through with no accountability,” said Cr Ricky Kirkham.

“Confidence needs to be restored to give ratepayers faith council is acting in their best interests.”

“Ratepayers are being neglected by the current Council leadership,” said Cr Caz Montleone. Proper processes are being thrown out the window at the expense of our community.”

“Decisions are being made with no justification or business case.”

“We need an independent monitor keep an eye on Council governance.”

“The Mayor has ejected over 100 residents from public meetings. The very community we are elected to represent,” said Cr Alahna Desiato.

■ CHANGES in the global market for recycled materials threaten to radically alter how waste is managed in Murrindindi and other municipalities.

International buyers of recycled materials are conecrned about levels of contamination with other materials or waste.

Cr Eric Lording, of Murrindindi Shire’s King Parrot Ward, says China says it will no longer accept the contaminated recyclables and will instead be focusing on its home-supply of recycled waste from now on.

The result is a major global oversupply of recyclable materials meaning the processing companies that have been accepting Murrindindi Shire's recycled waste now have more recyclables than they can sell or reuse.

"This is a concern for us because we know how our community loves to recycle,” said Cr Lording, who holds the Infrastructure and Waste portfolio.

“Council is working hard to find the best way to continue our current recycled waste services,” Cr Lording said.

“But, to ensure affordability and environmental sustainability into the future, we do need the community's help to manage how much waste is being produced and how that waste is being disposed of by homes and businesses.

"There are 6390 waste bins and 6549 recycling bins serviced by kerbside collection in Murrindindi Shire.

“On average, we collect 487 kilograms of waste per service per year, and a further 250 kilograms of recycling. That is more than 6.5 million kilograms of waste and 3.3 million kilograms of recyclables per year.

Darryl ‘pinks up’ for breast cancer

● Cr Eric Lording “"So, while it is business as usual with kerbside recycling for now, we do urge everyone to pay special attention to putting the right things in the right bins," Cr Lording said. “"We all know the system: waste which goes to landfill goes in the red-lidded bin, and recyclables in the yellow-lidded bin, but we've got a problem with misplaced rubbish.

“A major factor in the current global recycling problem is that non-recyclable rubbish is being put into our recycling bins - this drives up the cost of recycling as contaminated materials have to be manually sorted out before the recycled materials can actually be reused,” Cr Lording said.

Healesville snatches Bowl from favourite Yea team

● Louise Leatham with Norma Tobias at the Yea Lady Golfers Bowl

■ Healesville snatched the Bowl from local favourite Yea Team 1, by one point on a count back.

There were 68 lady golfers playing from 16 different clubs in perfect weather, on a well-prepared course, at the Yea Golf Club on Thursday(May 3). The Yea Lady Golfers hosted their annual Ladies Challenge Bowl.

Yea Golf Life Member Norma Tobias helped to present the trophies and talked about how the bowl began and its importance to the Yea Golf Club.

Healesville RACV club had a breakthrough win, taking out the Bowl (104 points) on a count back from Yea Team One - Adrianne Anglin, Di Elliott and Vicki Clements - who had held the trophy for the past 2 years.

Not only did Healesville snatch the bowl but one Healesville lady - Trish Roath - had the best score in the field 43 points.

Louise Leatham, who lived in Yeafor many years, re-visited to play and won B Grade 36 points and was thrilled to catch up with her old tennis and golf friend Norma Tobias.

Next major Ladies golf event is the Isobel Bett Memorial Tournament, on Thursday, October 18.

Welcome back Kerryn ■ Real estate agent Kerryn Rishworth is returning to Yea business from next week.

■ Politician Sophie Mirabella has successfully sued the Benalla Ensign newspaper for defamation. The publication’s editor, Libby Price, published an article saying Mrs Mirabella had publicly pushed her political opponent, Indi MP Cathy McGowan, on the 2016 election campaign trail. The hearing proceeded at the County Court Wangaratta.

The Ensign’s sister newspaper, the Shepparton News, reported that Mrs Mirabella’s lawyers have asked for between $300000 and $400000 for aggravated and compensatory damages. The Ensign’s counsel, David Gilbertson, said an amount under $100,000 was more appropriate.

No cash for Dindi: MP ■ Local MP Cindy McLeish says the Andrews Labor Government's State Budget fails to deliver any new infrastructure spending in the Murrindindi Shire.

"Daniel Andrews' city centric government has completely ignored new projects in Murrindindi Shire,” said Ms McLeish.

“The Premier should take his ears off the tram tracks and come out to our region and listen to what local residents need.”

Ms McLeish said that whilst state taxes on Murrindindi residents are increasing, funds raised are being spent in metropolitan Melbourne.

Long Shots

Money’s worth

with Ash Long, Editor Most senior newsman in the local area.

Now in his 49th year of local newspapers.

“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” Phone: 5797 2656, 1800 231 311 Web: www.LocalPaper. com.au Email: editor@LocalPaper.com.au Personal Web: www.Long. com.au

100th issue today

■ Our local news pedigree extends a little longer ... but today we happily celebrate the milestone of the 100th issue of The Local Paper.

In February 2016, we started with the intention of a 12- or 16-page weekly local newspaper for the western half of Murrindindi Shire.

Who knew that in the space of a few short years, we would be producing a record-size paper for the district (76 pages last week), and the region’s leading media website: www.Local Paper.com.au ?

Of course, Long Shots has been around a little longer.

We started as a ‘stringer’ for the Whittlesea Post in 1972, bought The Yea Chronicle business in 1984 (operated it for 10 years), ran The Yea Advertiser/Murrindindi Shire Advertiser in the late 1990s, and then The Phoenix newspaper for 18 months after the 2009 bushfires.

■ “For the second time in three weeks, Yea Seniors had 26 goals kicked against them, thsi time going down to Nagambie at Yea,” wrote Tom Dignam.

“The official scorecard said 27 goals our notebook and Nagambie’s own list of goalkickers said 26 - in either case, too many.”

Nagambie 26.19 (175) d Yea 19.11 (125).

Yea goals: Slavin 6, T. Aldous 3, Lockhart, Funch, Tunnis, Cunningham 2, Barker and Tainton.

“Best players were not easy to identify.

Young contributors in Christie, Finch, Lockhart and Tunnis look certain to become the strength of future teams.

“Slavin made his fortnight’s tally 13 goals; and Cunningham, Bryant and T. Aldous performed creditably.”

Fourth fastest

■ Super swimmer, Rodney Lawson, 17, of Francis St, Yea, had his hopes of being included in the 198 Seoul Olympics dashed at the weekend, it was reported in 1988.

“Rodney, son of Shire President Cr David Lawson and Mrs Lois Lawson, swam a crediblwe fourth in the selection trials at the weekend.

“Australian swimming team selectors went outside selection criteria to name a talented team of 26 for the Olympics later this year.

“Rod Lawson will only be 21 when the Barcelona games are held in 1992.”

High St alarms

■ “Security alarms have sounded in High St, Yea over the past two nights,” we reported, 30 years ago. “Last night the audible alarm was activated at the Yea Timber and Hardware premises at 26 High St, Yea. Benalla Police said it seemed that the alarm stopped after a 10-minute ‘re-set period.”

Grandstander

■ The 1988 ‘Grandtstander’ column said: “Did’ya see the way the Collingwood supporters came out of the woodwork over the last couple of weeks. Yea High School headmaster Bruce Kindred was seen to contemplate a phone call to Carlton die-hard Tom Dignam.

“With Saturday’s failure against the Bombers, it’s now safe to predict the only Magpies we’ll see around Yea now, are the ones trying to pick up the mushrooms around the Rec. “Larry Finch reckoned that someone in the Collingwood dressing rooms must have turned to calendar from May to September ... every player suddenly got a case of the Colliwobbles.”

Kerr wins office

■ Mrs Cheryl Dorothea Kerr becomes the new Councillor for Whittlesea-Yan Yean Ward following Saturday’s extraordinary election in the City of Whittlesea, we reported 30 years ago. Mrs kerr was editor of the Town Crier newsletter. She won 1741 votes against Jack Tants (725) and the ALP’s Wayne Pappin (453).

Letters to the Editor Roads to ruin Sir, Regional roads will continue to disintegrate following the release of the Andrews Labor Government's Budget. $165 million is planned to be spent on regional road restoration and maintenance over the next year, representing a 23 per cent reduction on the previous year's budget.

Local roads will suffer because of cuts in the budget.

Despite great fanfare and self-adulation, Daniel Andrews is not fixing the country roads as he promised to do in 2014.

Buried within the budget we see that spending on repairing regional roads will be cut from $215.3 million in 2017/18 to $165.2 million in 2018/19.

It is sheer lunacy that road maintenance would be cut when the surfaces of our roads are continuing to get worse.

This will make roads like the Melba and Maroondah Highways even more dangerous.

Local councils will be left in the lurch with only two years' worth of funding announced to help upgrade local roads.

DanielAndrews cut the $160 million Country Roads and Bridges Program when he was elected, but is now bragging about reserving $100 million to help councils with country roads for only two years."

A Liberal Nationals Governmentwill provide certainty for local government by delivering $1 million to 40 rural councils each year over four years.

This will give local councils the confidence to get on with fixing country roads and saving country lives.

Bowls Club thanks Sir, I wish to publicly thank the Yea Bowls Club and each of the competitors in the ANZAC Triples Competition conducted on Monday April 30.

The bowlers raised and donated $705 to the Yea-Kinglake RSL Sub-Branch to assist with our administration.

For the record, Ruth Crockett's sponge cake raised $50 at auction with a slice resold after for $5!

As most local organisations know, fund raising requires a constant effort which becomes more difficult as members age and member numbers reduce.

All funds raised in the ANZAC and Poppy Appeals go specifically to individual veteran support.

This generous donation is a significant contribution to our local RSL's ability to function within our community. Thank you.

Mr Russell says that the three-year extension of a ban against him is “outside the ambit of the current Court process and is an attempt to ... prejudice and to raise issues that are yet to be tested with legal argument”.

Mr Russell has submitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria that the prospect of “contempt of court” be examined, “brought on by this devious act of the Defendants”.

Mr Russell has told the Court that he wishes to have CEO Criag Lloyd joined as a third defendant in his Court action.

Sports grants ■ The Victorian Government's Community Sports Infrastructure and Female Friendly Facilities Grants are now open.

Murrindindi Shire Council is encouraging organisations to get in touch to discuss their sport or recreation project's eligibility.

The grants aim to boost access to and participation in sport and recreation among all Victorians, particularly women, girls and juniors.

The grants support planning, building or improving existing community sport and recreation facilities.

Deputy Mayor and Community Services Portfolio Councillor, Sandice McAulay, encourages people to think outside the square in considering eligibility for these grants as the grants could fund projects at any place where sport and recreation is conducted or organised.

"The Community Sports Infrastructure and Female Friendly Facilities Grants, in conjunction with Council funding, have supported improvements at some fantastic local facilities in the last few years,” Cr McAulay said.

"The Marysville Cricket Club received new training nets in 2016, the Terip Terip Tennis Courts were resurfaced in 2015, and the Alexandra, Eildon and Marysville pools each received a seasonal upgrade in 2016 through these funds.

"Council also facilitated the successful $95,000 grant bid of the Alexandra Football Netball Club Female-Friendly Change Rooms, which have recently been completed.

“In the 2018-19 financial year to come, the Alexandra Tennis Club will receive a hard court resurfacing and the Yea Railway Playspace will be redeveloped, with both projects supported by the Community Sports Infrastructure Fund and Council.

"Provided by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services and Sport and Recreation Victoria, the grants can only be applied for through Council.

“So if you have a planning, upgrade or development project in mind, jump into action and contact Council as the State Government's Community Sports Infrastructure and Female Friendly Facilities grants are worth the effort," Cr McAulay said.

The Community Sports Infrastructure Grant offers funding amounts from $30,000 to $3 million across five categories, including large and small aquatic facilities, major regional sports facilities, minor sports facilities and recreation or facility planning. Applications for 2019-20 projects close on June 25.

“The Female Friendly Facilities Grants focus on assisting local clubs and organisations develop grounds, pavilions, courts and lighting that enable women and girls to more comfortably participate in sport and active recreation.

“These grants offer up to $500,000 for projects that create prioritised and equitable access to existing and new facilities for women and girls. Applications for 2018-19 projects close on July 23. http://www.sport.vic.gov.au/grantsand-funding/our-grants - Contributed

From Our 1918 Files

Kinglake West

■ A Red Cross dance was held on Saturday night, May 4th, when one of the Kinglake West boys .(Leonard Cumming) was presented with a medal from tho Kinglake West Red Cross Society by Edwin Scott, Esq. J.P. Mr Scott congratulated him on his departure for the front and for offering himself for hit country.

Mrs King, who had three sons at the.

War,(two at t he front and one returned) pinned the medal on his tunic. The soldier thanked the Society for the medal with a very fitting, little speech.

Yea water supply

■ Sir,-I generally arrange to pay a visit to Yea about this time of the year, the beauty of the scenery and the kindness and courtesy of the inhabitants leaving nothing to be desired. The only blot is the water supply.

If my memory does not fail me, I wrote to you on the subject when I was here last year, but am grieved that I cannot note any improvement on my present visit.

This morning I was enjoying a shower bath (old man as I am, I still enjoy my cold shower) when the water stopped running as suddenly as if I had turned the tap, which you will admit was somewhat annoying.

Presumably someone in the town wanted to fill his watering can, or some housewife desired to make her morning tea. Now, I would be the last one in the world to wish to interfere with either of these objects, any more than either of the other parties concerned would wish to spoil my shower.

Surely, however, some means could be devised by which both operations could be conducted simultaneously.

I know I am staying in a somewhat elevated part of the town, but, that should not be an obstacle. Let me implore the powers that be who have control of the water supply, to try and devise some means of giving an efficient supply. The present system is simply a disgrace to such a thriving town. I am, - Lilium Fidelis

Patriotic procession

■ The committee having charge of next Wednesday's procession and sports met in the Council chamber on Tuesday night, when great interest was shown by those in attendance. Those present were : Councillors A. McLure (chairman), J. D. O'Callaghan, G. S. Lawrance, and Messre W. King, W. Almond, G. Buckley, S. Donaldson. A. McKay, S. A. Wall, Sergt. Donaldson, K. McLean, J. Cole, and W. Tomkins (hon. secretary) Reports were received from various gentlemen as to progress in connection with the arrangements for the procession and sports (the programme for which appears in our advt. columns.)

It was decided that all returned soldiers be asked to march in the procession in fall uniform, and also that efforts he made to obtain the assistance of the Alexandra Brass Band and the Salvation Army Band, as well as the Pipers' Band.

The Secretary was also instructed to ascertain whether there was any likelihood of obtaining displays from Mansfield or Alexandra, especially a miniature tank.

Diamond Creek

■ An Anzac service wns held on Sunday afternoon, 29th ult., under the auspices of the Loyal Diamond Creek Lodge M U., and was in every way a pronounced success. The members of the Lodge, also the Juvenile Lodge, met at the lodge room in good numbers and marched in regalia to the Literary Institute where the service was held.

Eden Park branch ■ On Saturday evening, April 20th, a very enjoyable concert was held in the Whittlesea Mechanics' Hall to augment the funds of the Eden Park Branch of Lady Mayoress' Patriotic League.

The Whittlesea Story: Part 6

Whittlesea Roads Board began in 1862 Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea.

From ‘The Plenty’

by J.W. Payne, 1975.

■ The Whittlesea Road District, proclaimed on December 1, 1862, covered the remainder of Arthur’s Creek and north to the Dividing Range, following the Arthur’s Creek to the east, and the boundary of the Woodstock Road District to the west.

There was a proviso: “As portion appertains to the Greensborough Road District this proclamation will not take effect until and after February 22, 1863.”

The first Chairman of the Whittlesea DRB was George Sherwin JP, who held office from 1863 to his retirement in 1867.

The first Secretary was Thomas Thompson. The latter is noted as master of the private school at Glenvale in 1863 with the comment “a good English and Classical Scholar”.

The meeting place and office was at the Court House, Whittlesea, which opened in 1862.

The Morang and Upper Plenty DBR was first chaired by John Wilton JP, who held office from 1862-70 and the first Clerk and Surveyor was J.H. Thomas followed by James Denis Daniel to January 9, 1865, and succeeded by Moses Thomas.

The Board Office was the Plough Inn, Janefield, and later at Joseph Hutchinson’s house in McKimmie’s Lane.

The letter book of the Morang DRB, kept by Moses Thomas from December 21, 1865, to September 27, 1870, is still intact.

It covers the activities of the Board and reveals much of those of its neighbours.

Morang and Whittlesea DRBs combined in 1865 and 1866 (assisted

by Sewerage and Water Department funds) in constructing a road from the Plenty Road to Yan Yean Reservoir.

Since the reservoir was the tourist attraction of the area a toll gate was placed on the road.

The minute to operate such a gate was passed by the Morang DRB on November 30, 1866, “in time to catch the Christmas traffic”.

The Woodstock Road, the common boundary with Whittlesea DRB absorbed much of the revenue and engineer’s time.

During the period mentioned 1865-70, road construction extended from Plenty Road almost to the ford at Barber’s Creek, including the cutting on the She Oak Hill.

Mason’s Lane was constructed to the Board boundary, also part of Bridge Inn Lane, then called Separation Lane.

Epping DRB was urged to open Greensborough Road (Settlement Lane), but the Board’s greatest disappointment was in their constant but abortive attempts to open the Epping Morang Road (McDonald’s Lane) through Hon. Henry Miller’s property.

His senior position in successive ministries made it exceedingly difficult for public servants and legal men to proceed against him , and the issue was still unresolved in 1870.

Perhaps the greatest memorial to the Morang DRB is the bridge over the Plenty River east of Morang (Mernda).

In 1866, £50,000 was set aside

with the village development of Preston. Also, the elected president, George Deihl McCormick, of ‘Bournefield Park’, Wollert, seemed to have unfortunate personality clashes with his 21 councillors, and his contemporaries, notably F.R. Godfrey and Moses Thomas of Morang.

The first few meetings resulted in a law suit brought by the southern councillors to restrain the building of Epping Shire Hall.

When the case went against them the dissident councillors petitioned for severance, which was granted.

The alienated section became the Shire of Jika Jika, dividing later as the City of Preston and the City of Northcote.

During the eventful year of its existence, the greater Darebin Shire Council made two important decisions.

In June the division into the Ridings of Morang, Epping, Woodstock, Preston, Northcote and Gowerville was gazetted (the latter three subsequently excised to form the Shire of Jika Jika).

In July, notice was given of opening Marshall’s Gap Road linking the top end of the Plenty valley with the plains of Merriang.

With the Darebin Shire so drastically curtailed, elections weree hel;d later in the year with McCormick again president of a reduced council of nine.

For a year of two all proceeded amicably with Whittlesea DRB, continuing to function in its own area.

In 1876,an Act to Consolidate and Amend the Laws relating to Local Government was introduced in the Legislative Assembly on June 30.

This Act gave broad powers to the Governor in Council to constitute sever, annex, or subdivide municipal districts.

It also laid down procedures for elections and defined the areas of 56 towns and 106 shires and road districts.

Concurrently, the Morang residents, dissatisfied with their treatment by the Darebin Shire Council, petitioned the Governor for severance, and, as a counter a deputation from the Council waited on the Minister with the account books of the Shire.

The books revealed that Morang Riding had had favourable treatment to the extent of £954 in excess of enitlement over the years.

Further, the depuattion claimed that the petition was spurious, several of the signatures were false and it was all motivated by Moses Thomas for his own purpose.

The Collingwood Advertiser of October 15, 1874, carried a long report of a protest meeting at Morang.

“Darebin Shire bot into such a bad odour that the Morang residents thereof are anxious to disown connection therewith and a petition was lately presented to the Government praying for severance.

“Mr Shire President McCormick, however disappointed at being rejected for the Assembly is resolved to stick to all his municipal authority, and therefore opposes the severance of his domain. Indeed in a deputation which he recently headed, he declared that the Morang severance deputation was set up by a selfish publican and the signatures of the separation memorial were not genuine.” ● To be continued next week in The Local Paper.

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood

Max Merritt rocks on to 77 ■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.

Pets banned on planes ■ United Airlines will no longer allow certain breeds of pets to travel in the cargo hold on its flights.

Starting June 18, the airline will ban certain breeds including Boston Terriers, boxers, pugs and Pekingese dogs "out of concern for higher adverse health risks," the airline said.

Studies have shown dogs with short noses are "more likely to have health problems while being transported on planes."

Persian and Himalayan cats will also be banned from the cargo hold.

The airline said small pets would still be allowed in the cabin as long as its carrier fits under the seat.

In addition, United will not transport pets to Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Phoenix and Tucson in the summer months "because of the extreme heat in those destinations during summer months."

This comes after a 10-month French bulldog died on a United Airlines flight after a flight attendant ordered the pet's owner to put the dog in the overhead-luggage compartment

Debs celebrate birthday ■ Rocker Max Merritt, born in Christchurch, New Zealand, has been in the entertainment industry in New Zealand, Australia and America for more than 50 years.

His career started as a young hopeful rocker back in New Zealand in 1956 and he hasn't looked back.

Known for his huge hit Slippin' Away, Max is acknowledged as one of the best live performers during the 1960s and 1970s with his soul and R&B sound.

Max Merritt and the Meteors were on every pop television program and radio show across Australia.

You could call Max a real pioneer of rock in Australia. Back in July 2008 he was inducted into the ARIA (the Australian Recording Industry Association) Hall of Fame.

It was indeed a huge honour to celebrate with all the Australian Debonaires living in LA. The great man's 77th birthday.

Big stars expelled

Stars - out and about

■ The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is moving to expel Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski from the organisation.

"The Board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy's values of respect for human dignity," it said in a statement.

Last week, Cosby was convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand. Polanski fled the US after being convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl in 1978.

Me Too Movement ■ Nearly 30 more women have emerged to say Charlie Rose sexually harassed them, and three CBS News managers were warned about his conduct over a period of 30 years, according to a new Washington Post investigation.

Some 27 women, 14 CBS News employees and 13 who worked with him elsewhere have said they were sexually harassed by the former This Morning host, in addition to the eight women who complained about his behaviour in the original report, which led to his firing.

The new allegations against Rose date back to 1976, when, according to a former research assistant, he exposed his penis and touched her breasts in the NBC News Washington bureau.

Concerns about Rose's behaviour were flagged to managers at the network as early as 1986 and as recently as April 2017, according to multiple people cited in the report.

Rose responded to the new allegations by saying in an email: "Your story is unfair and inaccurate."

● Rod Hardy and Max Merritt

Kanye needs to think ■ Detroit hip-hop radio station 105.1 The Bounce announced last week that it will stop playing Kanye West songs, according to the Detroit Metro Times. "We feel like Kanye has gone too far with his latest statement declaring that slavery was a choice. We are over it, we don't want to hear Kanye's music, we don't want to play Kanye on our show and we don't want to talk about Kanye anymore. So, we are taking a stand and we aren't playing his music anymore; we just are refusing to give him a platform."

This comes after West went on TMZ Live late last week saying, "You hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sound like a choice." TMZ reporter Van Lathan then called out West, telling him his "voice is too big" to be irresponsible.

Shay Shay, a host at 105.1, echoed Lathan's sentiments, calling West's comments "reckless." "I think when you have such a huge platform like that, to use it in a reckless way, I mean, you're basically saying history is irrelevant," she said.

Dr Jan Adams, who performed Kanye West's late mother's final surgery, has written an open letter to the rapper in hopes of clearing his name in her death.

In the letter published by The Blast, Adams asked that the 40year-old rapper "cease and desist" from using his photo on the cover of Kanye's upcoming album something the rapper recently tweeted about doing. "I don't want to seem ungrateful I just think that if in fact this conversion to love is genuine on your part then it's inappropriate to drag the negativity of the past with it," Adams wrote. Kanye's mother, Donda, died in November 2007 from complications after undergoing plastic surgery performed by Adams. She was 58.

■ Katie Couric thinks some of the reports about her former colleague Matt Lauer aren't entirely true, but also that the scope of the sexual harassment allegations against him may extend beyond what the public currently knows. "It's been a very painful time for a lot of people who worked with Matt, knew him, really care about him, and who never witnessed or experienced any of this behavior that is now obviously being talked about," Couric, 61, said "I don't know the full extent of all these things that happened. I can only talk about my personal experience and I was always treated respectfully and appropriately."

■ Shannen Doherty, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, will soon undergo surgery. "My doctor had me bank some blood for my upcoming surgery," the actress, 47, captioned a photo on Instagram. "To say I'm moved by the generosity of people is an understatement," she wrote. "I'm vowing that as long as I'm cleared in the future, I will start donating blood. Thank you to those selfless humans that donate." We all need to give more blood. Contact your local Blood Bank.

You will feel refreshed after you make your donation and you are helping so many needy people.

■ Tonya Harding has a supportive onscreen mom in Allison Janney. Janney, 58, who won an Oscar for her turn as Harding's mother, LaVona, in I, Tonya, was on hand to cheer for the once-disgraced former figure skater at the premiere of Dancing with the Stars last week. Janney joined McKenna Grace, who starred as young Harding in the film, as well as screenwriter Steven Rogers, in the audience, blowing her kisses from the crowd ■ Leonardo DiCaprio has snapped up Moby's fully renovated mansion in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles for $4.91 million. A trust belonging to DiCaprio closed on the home in March, according to the deed recently filed with the county and accessed through Property Shark. It's the latest investment in DiCaprio's stacked portfolio of Los Angelesarea properties.

Tony Award nominations ■ The 2018 Tony Award nominations have been announced, with Mean Girls and Sponge Bob Square pants: The Musical leading the field with 12 nominations each.

Angels in America earned 11 nominations and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child received 10.

Cursed Child's Jamie Parker is up for Best Leading Performance by an Actor in a Play and Taylor Louderman of Mean Girls up for Best Leading Performance by an Actress in a Musical.

Mean Girls is also up for Best Musical, along with Frozen, Sponge Bob Square pants, and The Band's Visit.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD: Genre: Biography/Crime/Drama.

Cast: Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer, Mark Wahlberg, Charlie Plummer.

Year: 2017.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 132 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Verdict: The story of the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III in Rome of 1973 and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother to convince his billionaire oil magnate grandfather J. Paul Getty, the richest man in the world, to pay the ransom.

Gripping, taut, tight, stylish and entertaining thriller based on the true story from director Ridley Scott excels due to the compelling performance of Christopher Plummer as the cold-hearted, eccentric, manipulative and deceptive billionaire, J. Paul Getty.

Michelle Williams is also a stand-out as the devoted mother stressed to the limits throughout the months long ordeal that becomes a race against time in dealing with the grief, tension and arrogance of the highest level between authorities, the kidnappers and the miserly Getty in the true and lasting value of love over money, as she tries desperately to free her son.

Mark Wahlberg pulls in an effective performance as Getty's security man and go-between, who becomes her ally, and along with early 1970s period detail and production design and breathtaking Rome, Italian and United Kingdom locations cinematography by Dariusz Wolski (The Martian, Prometheus), they all combine to create a fascinating and compelling historical thriller.

FILM: DARKEST HOUR: Genre: Biography/Drama/History/War. Cast: Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James and Ben Mendelsohn.

Year: 2017.

Rating: M. Length: 125 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: During the early days of World War II, primarily in May of 1940, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the newly-appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who must decide whether to negotiate with Hitler, as the seemingly unstoppable Nazi forces advance, and with the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk, or fight on against incredible odds, against opposition in the ranks.

Gary Oldman gives startling tour-de-force performance as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who captures his unique and colourfully outrageous "bulldog" and beleaguered humour, spirit and energy, superbly, ranking him along side such other WWII historical figures on the screen as George C. Scott in "Patton" (1970), Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler in "Downfall" (2004) and Ken Watanabe as General Kuribayashi in Clint Eastwood's "Letters From Iwo Jima" (2006), to name a few.

The scene-stealing Oldman is matched by a wonderful supporting cast including Kristin Scott Thomas as Clementine, Lily James as his Secretary, Elizabeth, and Ben Mendelsohn as King George VI, however, behind-the-scenes, set design (the war rooms), costume design, period detail, art direction, editing, cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel (Amelie, Inside Llewyn Davis) and music score by Oscar winner Dario Marianelli, excel beyond all expectation.

Written for the screen by Oscar nominated writer-producer, Anthony McCarten (The Theory of Everything-2014), award-winning director Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice-2005) has created a gripping, intelligent, old fashioned, passionate and unforgettable film on one of the most defining moments in human history. (Superb precursor to Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk").

FILM: DOWNSIZING: Genre: Comedy/Sci-Fi/Drama.

Cast: Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Udo Kier, Jason Sudeikis.

Year: 2017.

Rating: TBC. Length: 135 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: When scientists discover how to shrink humans to four inches tall as a solution to over-population, an occupational therapist and his wife decide to abandon their stressed lives in order to get small and move to a new downsized community, but there's one catch, it's irreversible, and becomes a choice that triggers lifechanging adventures.

"Fantastic Voyage" meets "Gulliver's Travels" meets "The Borrowers" in this captivating, humorous and poignant social apocalyptic sci-fi satire set in the not so distant future is a wonderfully audacious effort brimming with startling conviction and endlessly surprising indirection, another bravura effort from dual Oscar winning writerdirector Alexander Payne, whose previous efforts include the Oscar winning Sideways (2004) and The Descendants (2011), and the Oscar nominated Nebraska (2013).

The screenplay by Alexander Payne, along with Oscar winner Jim Taylor, is intelligent, funny, humane and respectful, and the set design, production design, CGI and cinematography are all flawless, exemplary in every way.

The performances by the stellar cast are all the perfect match: Matt Damon as Paul, the shrunken man whose problems grow bigger as he gets smaller, Oscar winner Christoph Waltz as Dusan, his party neighbour and veteran Udo Kier as Joris, the aging party-boy and his partner, and Kristen Wiig as his wife, Audrey.

However, along his stimulating but confusing new path in life Paul meets Ngoc Lan (Hong Chau), a Vietnamese activist and prison escapee shrunk against her will by the government, and through her uniquely and seemingly innocent surface, at first, soon moulds into a richly complex, highly original and compelling presence, dominating and stealing every frame she is in.

Hong Chau represents something unique that only cinema can offer, she gives a mesmerizing, heartfelt, funny and poignant scenestealing, career defining performance, simply startling, and through her, making Downsizing an unforgettable fantasy and fantastic journey for adults.

- James Sherlock

■ James Thurston Nabors was born in Alabama in 1930. He first began singing in his local church choir and always had a desire to be an actor.

Jim graduated from the University of Alabama. In his early twenties he moved to Los Angeles because of his asthma and began working at various jobs.

Jim was working in a cabaret act when he was invited to audition for a television comedy spot on The Steve Allen Show.

He got the job and his appearances launched his career as an actor, singer and comedian.

I had the great pleasure of doing a telephone interview with Jim Nabors several years ago.

Jim worked in many television shows before landing the role of Gomer Pyle, the local Mayberry mechanic, in The Andy Griffith Show.

The character was so popular that it led to his own series Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.in 1964. Gomer Pyle was a good hearted character but very naïve.

The comedy series about Gomer's adventures in the United States Marine Corps was a huge international hit.

I always thought there was a marvellous comedy duo at work in that show, with Frank Sutton as ‘Sgt Carter’ and Jim as the innocent country boy ‘Gomer Pyle’.

Jim invented the expressions ‘Shazam’, ‘Well, Gollee’and ‘Surprise Surprise, Surprise’ during rehearsals and the producers said "Great,

Whatever Happened To ...

leave them in." Jim played Gomer Pyle for five seasons. He always said it was difficult to watch the opening of the show because many of the men he was marching with were later killed in Vietnam.

Jim appeared on various television variety shows such as The Carol Burnett Show and his own show The Jim Nabors Hour.

People started to realise that Jim was a good singer. In his career he released 45 albums and was awarded one platinum and five gold records.

He had sold out shows in Las Vegas.

He came to Australia several times. Jim made his stage debut as Harold Hill in The Music Man opposite Florence Henderson from The Brady Bunch.

● Jim Nabors In 1982, his old pal Burt Reynolds cast Jim in the film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

5

He was only supposed to be in one scene, but he made such an impression as the deputy sheriff, that they kept writing more scenes for him.

Jim laughed about it because his character was never in the original stage musical.

In 1994 suffered liver failure and was given two months to live unless a donor could be found.

Thank God he did receive a donor organ.

Jim lived in Hawaii for many years and used to have a Macadamia Nut farm. In his later years he still did several singing engagements.

Every year for 42 years he sang Back Home Again in Indiana at the opening of the Indianapolis 500 car race.

Jim Nabors died at his Honolulu home on November 30 last year at the age of 87. He was a lovely man and raised a lot of money for various charities during his lifetime.

Jim married his longtime partner Stanley Cadwallader in 2013. You can find out more about Jim Nabors at his official website www.jimnabors.com I will replay my interview with Jim Nabors on Sunday, May 20, during That's Entertainment on 96.5 Inner FM. Kevin Trask Kevin can be heard on 3AW The Time Tunnel - on Remember When Sundays at 9.10pm And on 96.5 FM That's Entertainment - Sundays at 12 Noon

Guest leftovers in English hotel rooms

■ In his continuing search for the more weird, wacky and wondrous in this world, David Ellis says a recent meeting of hoteliers in England decided they’d need a book the size of a metropolitan telephone directory to list the bizarre range of items guests had left in their hotel’s rooms.

For in just 12 months they included an urn with the ashes of one man’s mother-in-law, a blow-up, anatomically well-endowed sheep, a live 2metre snake in a parrot cage, and such bodily accessories as staring glass eyes, false arms and legs, hearing aids, and countless sets of false teeth soaking in everything from glasses of wine to, in one case, the hotel’s toilet disinfectant.

A live rabbit with a leather collar and walking-lead around its neck was found cowering in one room, a pet tarantula spider in a round glass fish tank in another, and in one hotel’s garage an overlooked thoroughbred racehorse was found tied up after a local race meeting that had been held three days before.

And after a week one sheepish guest returned to a country town’s budget hotel that was popular with prostitutes, to claim his forgotten car keys – for a $325,000 Porsche.

Staff also found a two-metre working model of a helicopter left in one pub room, a police car siren connected to a 12V battery in another… and a life-size dummy of comedian, actor and TV presenter, Sir Lenny Henry in yet another.

Hoteliers said they couldn’t even begin to estimate the number of sex toys left after one-night stands, and all agreed that the most-often left items were phone chargers … last year in just one major chain alone 42,000 were left plugged into power points by forgetful guests.

Struth

with David Ellis

Hollywood

wide and 13 metres tall, and stretching a-near 140 metres across the hillside.

At night they blinked “Holly,” followed by “wood” and finally “land,” with the “land” eventually removed in 1945, and bizarrely a full-time caretaker was needed to everyday clamber over each letter to replace scores of globes that had blown overnight.

Interestingly the first movie company to call Hollywood home was a small Chicago-based maker that moved there in 1907, frustrated at being unable to complete a shoot because of its home-city’s erratic weather; within just five years some 15 others had followed, realising how ideal Hollywood was for film-making.

The rest, as they say, is history – including 90-odd years’ resistance by local residents to successfully thwart developers wanting to build roads up to the sign, and to surround it with restaurants, cafés and observation platforms… so that today it can still only be viewed from a distance.

■ One of the most-photographed signs in the world – HOLLYWOOD on the side of Mt Lee outside LosAngeles – was put up 92 years ago… as a temporary 18 months promotion for a new housing estate.

And it originally spelt-out HOLLYWOODLAND when put up in 1923, with 4,000 20-watt lights set into its 13 letters, that were each 9 metres

■ When gold was found in Canada’s Yukon Territory in 1896, thousands of hopefuls swarmed to the area with just one thing in mind – get in, get rich and get out.

But with initially few trading stores around, the government soon found itself bailing out those who’d run out

Get rich, out

of food and other supplies while on their quest for riches. So it decreed that every miner entering Canada had to have enough food, clothing and tools to last them an entire year.

And while they could get those supplies to the Alaskan port of Dyea relatively easily, they then had to backpack them 50km to Canada’s mountainous Bennett Lake, and from there by row-boat to the site of the Gold Rush – some making over a dozen of those 100km round-trips before even starting digging.

To help, the Northern Pacific Railroad published a recommended survival list for a year in the Yukon. It included 30 tools for mining and construction, tents, mosquito nets, axes, ropes, enough fleecy clothing, Long Johns and oilskins to counter the harshest winters, rifles for hunting and rods for fishing, candles, and cooking and eating utensils.

Food-wise it suggested 800kg of staples from flour, rice, yeast cakes and bacon, to dried fruits and vegetables, salt, sugar, condensed milk, tea and coffee.

And for good measure, recommended lugging-in a wood-fired steel stove to cook it all on.

Seadream

■ Seadream Yacht Club is offering not just an extended sailing of nine days from Rome’s port of Civitavecchia to four of the major centres of the French Riviera in May of 2019, but for motor-racing buffs the chance to experience the excitement of the Monaco Grand Prix Final.

And on her way to Cannes, SaintTropez, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Nice on the Riviera, SeaDream I will also have full days and mostly late evening departures in Porto Cervo Marina in Sardinia, Bonifacio and Calvi on Corsica Island, Portovenere on Italy’s medieval Ligurian coast, and Portofino also in Italy.

SeaDream I sails from Civitavecchia on May 18 next year and prices start at US$6348 per person double occupancy which includes SeaDream’s award-winning cuisine, drinks with meals and from the bars, power and sail water-sports, use of SeaDream I’s onboard golf simulator and fitness centre, port charges and taxes, and even crew gratuities.

Lucky winners

■ Winners’ names have been drawn for free double passes to the Wizard Of Oz which opens this month at the Regent Theatre: ■ Rosie Moffat, Murphy Cr, Preston ■ Brooke Vanderbilt, Elvin Dr, Kinglake ■ D. Milliken, PO Box, Yea ■ Roslyn Haslam, Fieldon Cl, Mooroolbark ■ Lois O’Hara, PO Box, Research ■ Mathew Richardson, Waycott Way, Mount Evelyn.

At Recital Centre

■ Free double passes to Tales of The Silk Road have been won by Shereen Kiddle,Aileen McLeish and Mark Vincent.

OK. With John O’Keefe Going, going, gone

■ Some people are fanatical about memorabilia. A glove used by an artist called Prince in 1984 sold in America for $26,121.

Admittedly Prince was a known fashionista and the glove was of white lace and adorned with rhinestones, it still seems an excessive amount .

Footy team family

■ Singer-songwriter-musician Chris Montez is currently touring Australia. In an interview with Phil and Simon on 3AW Nightline, Montez explained he was born into a family of 18 – enough to field their own team of Aussie Rules players.

Montez also related how his double act with Tommy Roe in London, 1963 , was supported by a group called the Beatles. Montez was overheard to say ‘Who are these guys ? ’

Rumour confirmed

■ You are hearing it first - Country and Western singer , songwriter Jimmy Webb is confirmed to tour Australia in August, performing in Melbourne, Hamer Hall, August 9.

Supporting Webb will be Jimmy Barnes, Kate Ceberano, David Campbell – it should be a blast.

By the time I get to Pheonix is sure to be on Webb’s playlist .

Rupert Murdoch stageplay

■ Ink is the name of a stage play about the life, loves and empire building of Rupert Murdoch set in London in 1969.

After a season in London, the show is to make it to Broadway.

One theatre critic described Ink as “both an entertaining epitaph for a lost age and a chilling prophecy of days to come”.

One of the financial backers of Ink is former monk Ray Cockburn who stumped up cash he won in a Powerball jackpot.

Shark Tank returns

■ They’re back. The same team returns for season four of Shark Tank, on Ten from May 15. We’re told Steve Baxter loses his cool in the first ep over a bidding war with another panel member.

- Rob Foenander

■ John Rozentals enjoys tasting very different reds from the same vintage in Orange and Mudgee.

As the crow flies, Orange and Mudgee are only some 70-to-80 kilometres apart, but climatically and geologically they might as well be on opposite sides of the universe.

That's probably not quite true but you get my drift. They're very different beasts for wine production.

These differences have long fascinated winemaker Peter Logan, who has been working with fruit from the two areas for most of his winemaking life.

His Orange grapes are grown at nearly 1000 metres on ancient volcanic soil and typically experiences cool-to-mild days and cold nights, whereas the Mudgee vineyard, while still at about 560 metres, has generally warm days and cold nights, and sits on ironstone and quartz gravelly loam.

With his Ridge of Tears wines Peter has the opportunity to really explore those differences - both shiraz from the same vintage, both made by the same team in much the same way.

But the styles of red are quite different.

The Orange shiraz is softer and quite loaded with spice and red berries. The Mudgee shiraz is more tannic and exhibits more earthy flavours - and darker fruits and dark chocolate.

Tasting both is a fascinating exercise, but I must confess that I pre-

Deck-Doc

Local company chosen as best in the world

For many years Deck-Doc has been supplying retailers throughout Australia with their premium range of timber and decking oils.

For the past three years, Deck-Doc has been predominantly selling their products online to service the whole of Australia as well as international customers.

Deck-Doc was recently chosen over other companies to supply their oils to an international company and is in the process of sealing an agency agreement for exclusive distribution and selling rights in Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Deck-Doc timber oil is environmentally friendly and the business has been manufacturing unique, lanolin-based timber oil in Geelong for 15 years.

The formula was developed by Robert Hylands to preserve the natural oils and tannins in the timber.

The timbers oils and tannins determine the colour of the timber.

If the tannins dry out, the timber will lose its own natural colour.

The formula is made up of many different plant oils, waxes and lanolin and designed to stay soft and pliable when absorbed into the surface layers of the timber, therefore will not solidify and form a hard membrane of the surface.

It will move with the timber during all weather conditions preventing water absorption and drying out of the tannins.

Mr Hylands first developed the timber oil when he noticed there was nothing on the market that preserved the timber and protected the timber’s natural colour.

Before his time at Deck-Doc, he gained experience when he owned a factory making hand carved, handpainted wooden decoy ducks for duck hunters.

The timber used for the ducks had to maintain its natural colour and stay on the water without absorbing moisture.

After extensive research, he found lanolin (wool grease) gave excellent water repellency as well as UV protection.

Mr Hylands developed lanolin-based timber protection oil and found the water-repellent protection and preservative way far superior and says lanolin is “Nature’s natural UV protection”.

Lanolin comes from the wool of sheep and is extracted from the fleece.

It is a substance that waterproofs, insulates, and protects sheep from the cold, wind, rain and harmful CV sun rays.

Deck-Doc uses the best merino wool to extract lanolin.

Throughout history ancient mariners such as the Vikings used lanolin to protect, waterproof and preserve the wooden boards on their ships.

Many of the ships were away from their home bases for many years and their ships were subjected to wild storms at sea.

They survived thanks to the protection of Lanolin.

Deck-Doc invites all to visit their showroom in Moolap for free advice in a number of important issues concerning timber care.

There is a large selection of timber types that have been exposed to severe weather conditions, enabling people to understand the importance of choosing a suitable timber type. for the right application.

Also know what happens to the different types of decking stains and coatings, how they weather, and the maintenance required.

The friendly staff have useful hints for anyone preparing to build a new deck.

Local History: Kinglake Fires, 1926

● ■ The Kinglake fires of February, 1926, received coverage across Australia: A pitiful scene was revealed this m ornmg when the smoke of 'the fires curled away from the settlement of Kinglake, where throughout the night an unceasing battle had been waged against the wall of flames which threatened to obliter ate the township and the people with it.

Heaps of ashes and pieces of twisted metal littered along the roadway were all that remained of many of the principal buildings in the town ship.

The village is very scattered, and the post office, w'hich had been saved after a desperate struggle with the flames that had surrounded it on every side, and the few homes that still stood looked curiously isolated among the blackened ruins.

Adjoining the site of the Kinglake Hotel a few articles of furniture and1 provisions, which had been hastily removed, stood in a pile on the roadway, while opposite a small group of men, weary from long hours: from arduous fire fighting slept on a small patch of grass that had escaped from burning.

Others talked in low voices as they surveyed the ruins.

The buildings destroyed at Kinglake were: A hotel, and store owned

by Mr. Thompson, the Roman Catholio c Church, the public hall, J. Hibbard's mill, J. Hearing's house, J. Towle's week-end house, the Cool Store Motor Garage.

Other buildings owned by Otto.

Muller at Queenstown, valued at £3000, were also destroyed.

In addition, much fencing and. many outhouses and minor buildings were also destroyed Described -by eye-witnesses, the fire seems to have descended on Kinglake with alarming rapidity.

During the morning it had been watched, with anxiety burning in the direction of Glenburn, but about one o'clock the north wind suddenly in-

● “All that remains of Kinglake Hotel and Store”. Photos: The Australasian, March 6, 1926. creased in intensity and the flames seemed to. suddenly sweep forward.

They travelled along the tree tops, leaping from bough to bough and into the air, while dense palls of smoke preceded them and poured into the village.

At the first intimation of the appoaching danger, Mr. C. H. Thompson, owner of the hotel and the store, left his dinner, and; with Mr. Oranton galloped to the school, more than two miles array, and brought the children into the town ship.

● “Mr F. Thomson, proprietor of the hotel, counting his salvaged crockery.

YEA WOMEN’S FOOTBALL REPORT GIRLS UNDER 16 Yea 0-1 (1) to Seville 2-6 (18).

Our girls went in hard. Defence was awesome and kept Seville scoreless during the first quarter.

2nd quarter: Seville managed to kick two goals. We lost Lily Undie in the third quarter who was taken to hospital with a suspected broken wrist after running down one of Seville’s girls. The tackle unfortunately resulted in Lily land very awkwardly on her wrist with a suspected break. She has been diverted from Seymour Hospital to the Royal Children's Hospital, so it doesn't look good for poor Lily.

The end of the third quarter also resulted in two of Seville’s girls injured with another suspected broken wrist and a neck injury.

The fourth quarter was called off due to waiting for an ambulance for the girls. All of these girls obviously played very hard and both teams should be proud of there efforts. ★ Report fromAndrea Donnellan With Round 4 starting on a cold and hazy day, the Yea Tigers Girls were arriving with excitement and smiles, ready to take on their opposition.

Their music playing loudly and their voices even louder, by the time they had warmed up, the sun had decided to make an appearance through the fog.

Once they had run out onto the field, with their families and friends cheering them on, they made their way to their positions, the sun was shining harshly down on them, making for some warm weather.

From the first bounce, the girls fought hard for the ball and tried their very best to work it to their forward line.

An exceptional tackle and bravery from Tatiana Crumpen gave the girls the space they needed to work the ball down the field.

Some wonderful and tricky marks were

taken by Abbey Hanlon, and a great cointested mark by Vanessa James.

Some brilliant midfield work and passes back and forth by Asha Close and Jordan Watts landed the ball in Ruby O’Dwyer’s arms. She gave some accurate and powerful kicks.

The first quarter ended and tensions were high amongst the girls, as they eagerly awaited for the beginning of the second quarter.

It began with some great ruck work by Casey Wilsmore and some skilful teamwork by the midfield.

The defence on the girls was strong despite the pressure, with Remi Pitman getting an incredible clearance out of the opposition’s 50.

Their teamwork was immaculate, which led them to a string of beautiful kicks and marks from one end of the oval to another.

The commitment of the girls was shown greatly, especially by their full-back Lily Undy, whose constant defence and determinbation saved many goals.

Putting herself on the line to help her team, Lily ran and attached the ball fierecely, but ended up injured with a suspected broken wrist.

With their team-mate injured, their drive to win was higher than ever.

Unfortunately, a few minutes into the third quarter, one of the opposition players got hurt, and the game was cut short.

With a final score of 1-18, the girls were pleased with their ability to keep the score margin low, despite their loss.

Even with another unlucky end to the game, the Tigers kept their heads high as they walked off the field.

The awards went to Tatiana Crumpen, Jordan Watts and Asha Close.

Although the game had ended without the desired outcome, the Tigers didn’t fail to keep up their positivity and their drive to play another great game in a week.

YEA FOOTBALL REPORT SENIORS Yarra Junction 17.12 (114) defeated Yea 12.14 (86) Despite a bright start, Yea has suffered its first defeat of the season, running out of legs against Yarra Junction to the tune of 28 points.

It was a frenetic first quarter with the Tigers slamming on six goals in the first 20 minutes before the home side snuck a couple late to keep the margin to 12 points at the first break.

Through excellent tackling and pressure, Yea stretched their lead to four goals before a series of undisciplined acts let the hosts back into the contest, to the point where they stole the lead at the major change.

The third term was tight and saw the Eagles hold a slender one-point advantage at heading into the final quarter, where Yarra Junction took control and piled on six goals to two against a Tigers outfit with no fit men on the bench.

Adrian McCarthy worked tirelessly in the middle of the ground, as did Harrison Jarvie, while James Ryan was reliable as usual in defence. Patrick Evans finished with three goals, while Chris Graham and Nathan Beattie slotted two apiece.

Daniel Evans returned to some strong form and found plenty of the footy before he was sidelined by an ankle injury, and he was ably supported in the back half by Xavier O'Dwyer and Jarred Sandells.

It was a disappointing result for the visitors considering how well they started the match, with a lack of uncontested marks and switching of the play evident after half time.

The Tigers will need to be sharp when they host Seville on Saturday.

RESERVES

Yarra Junction 19.5-119 defeated Yea 4.2-26 After an outstanding start to its 2018 campaign, Yea had a reality check against an extremely accurate Yarra Junction, going down by 93 points away from home.

The result was decided by the quarter-time break as the hosts slammed on eight goals in a flurry and held the stunned visitors scoreless.

The Tigers didn't register a score until the second term, trailing by an unassailable 73 points at the major break.

The game tightened up after half-time and Yea finally got a goal on the board and restricted the Eagles to three for the term, a much-improved effort on the previous two quarters.

The last stanza was the Tigers’ best for the match, adding three majors to Yarra Junction's four after the margin threatened to blow out beyond 100 points.

Julian Mahon was excellent in the midfield, putting his head over the footy all day. Cameron Evans and Jaryed Garlick (two goals) both won a stack of possessions, while Ian Porter battled hard.

Joshua Keyte booted two goals in his first outing for the year, Shaun Harry never gave up and Dean Clue ran hard both ways.

Even though it was a poor showing, it must be noted that Yea had around a dozen players unavailable and should get a host of these back next week.

Even so, it will take a much-improved effort to knock over Seville this week.

Maybe a little too relaxed, as the much more taller and stronger Euroa side came out with all guns blazing.

With the smaller Yea side lacking in height and players, it didn't stop them from putting on one hell of a show.

Every quarter the Yea side came out stronger and putting on a fight. Going in harder for every tackle, every block and for the ball.

Seth Crumpen-Dolheguy kicked the only goal and his first for the Yea side, the look of surprise on Seth’s face as he kicked it from 50 only for it to roll 20m to get through for a goal.

B-GRADE

■ After a tight first quarter that Yea only won by three goals, the Tigers took control of the match and pushed away to a convincing 35goal win.

It was the defensive end that propelled the Tigers into action, Lauren Cronk in stellar form at GK, Cindy Newcomen as dominant as ever at GD and Sarah Armstrong at WD, her closing speed resulting in many intercepts and deflections.

This hard work, along with the defensive full court pressure from the Tigers, allowed Junction only 10 more goals in the remaining three quarters.

The quick and precise feeding into the goal throwers got better and better as the game wore on and Junction had to work hard for any little turnover they could get.

Despite the margin it was a well contested match and pushed the Tigers to perform at their best.

C-GRADE

■ The C-Grade girls clocked up their first win of the season and although it wasn’t the best netball the girls can play a win is a win.

Playing her 150th game Rhiannon Aldous started the first quarter in GS and sunk 5 of the 7 that were scored.

The second was the Tigers best with Tara Gregory into wing attack were she effortlessly took defensive intercepts that kept the ball in the attacking end.

The goalers didn’t have it easy with a physical Yarra Junction defence but Jordan Watts playing her best game yet in Centre was able to feed it in.

The third quarter was fairly even with Junction scoring 4 to Yea’s 6. Then came the last which was one for the Tigers to forget, lacking intensity and drive, they let Junction win it 6 to 4.

D-GRADE

■ With a depleted team due to illness and injury the D-Grade girls played a solid game and came up victors 41 to 12.

Maggie McSperrin dropped down from CGrade to help out was the difference in the first half scoring 13 of the Tigers 21.

Playing their first game of the season in the yellow and black Kristie Schaeffer and Trudy Birchell did themselves and their team mates proud throughout the game.

The second half defensive pressure of Jilly Hargreaves and Tegan Britton was impressive to watch and caused lots of turnovers.

Ebony Edge playing out of position in WA proved she’s not just a defender worked with Caitlin Broderick to bring the ball down for Stacey Murray to capilitise on in goals.

This group is coming together as a real team and will be a force to reckon with this season.

150TH GAME

■ Rhiannon Aldous notched up her 150th game for the Yea Tigers on Saturday.

After playing juniors for Yea, Rhi played her first game at senior level at age 16 in 2008, the Tigers’ first year in the Yarra Valley competition.

Only limited teams were in the competition at that time but it gave Rhi a great start ready for the following season where she was part of the A-Grade side at GS. Now 26, and in her tenth season with the Tigers (missing 2016 overseas) Rhiannon was recently appointed captain of the C-Grade side and over the years has played in A-, B- and C Grades, happily going where she is needed.

She has predominantly played in the GS position, shooting in excess of 2500 goals in this time, but has also spent a fair amount of time at the complete opposite end of the court in GK and no matter which end, she adjusts to the change with ease and gives her very best.

Three premiership medals show the capability of this girl, first with C-Grade in 2011 and then with the B-Grade sides in 2015 and 2017.

Again these medals have been won by playing both ends of the court and on all occasions she played a big part in these victories.

Developing into a great leader, Rhiannon stepped into the coaching ranks last season, assisting Deb Schickerling with the D-Grade side.

She umpires regularly for the seniors and juniors when she can and is always a willing helper when needed.

Congratulations Rhi on your 150th game and we look forward to seeing you play many more.

YEA JUNIOR FOOTBALL REPORT UNDER 10

■ Our first foggy morning for Yea footy saw 26 kids raring to go. With the absences of head coach Tim, Darren and Lachie stepped up to guide the Yea Tigers against the mighty Euroa Magpies.

All kids looked ready to take on anything thrown at them, Tom and Tobias our umpires gave the Tiges plenty of instructions on staying in zones and on players again, reminding all to pick the ball up not kick off the ground.

Great kicking, hand balling were hot items in passages of play. The fog finally started to lift and the final siren went. Can’t wait to do it all again next weekend at Avenel when we take on Tabilk.

that time. It was cool and cloudy and the ground was good after recent rain. Due to injuries and other factors the Rebels had to make eight changes to the team including young players Jake Keath, David Ray and Tom Rouget into the 21 along with Tom Dodemaide, Jarvis Matuschka and Michael Whitbourn playing their first senior games.

Alex began to the mill end and Brayden Norris was soon into the game but his first kick did not match the mark.

Will Goonan defended strongly and moved the ball well from defense for Chris McKay to kick the first goal after receiving from Michael Coombs.

Powelltown quickly replied at the top end and then another as the Alex defenders over committed in a marking duel.

Norris took advantage of a down the ground free and this time his kick was of the normal high standard.

A missed mark at half-back cost the maximum at the top end before Norris evaded well but his shot hit the post.

Sam Woollard winning possessions well, kicked a memorable goal on his left foot before young David Ray did the number 35 proud with a fine angle goal to give Alex a nine-point lead at the first break.

Powelltown kicked the first goal of the second quarter but Alex came back as they moved the ball well from end to end via Steve Steiner to Jake Steyger who kicked accurately.

Powelltown goaled from a free before Steve Steiner, playing strongly in the centre, also took advantage of a penalty for a good goal.

Not to be outdone Matt Steiner burst through the pack and found Norris for his second goal as the rain became heavier and two late goals gave the home side a narrow one point lead at the main break.

The Steiner boys combined well as the conditions became very slippery but Steve's kick was touched on the line.

Alexandra was tackling well and Tom Rouget goaled to put Alex back in front but the lead was short lived as the Demons kicked successive goals despite the efforts of Scott Heveren and Will Goonan in defence.

Coombs and Sam Kidd combined to give Ben Cooper, relishing the difficult conditions, the ball for Alexandra's eighth goal as an Alex poster was followed by a snapped goal by the home side.

Steven Steiner at his aggressive best kicked a long goal before cramping badly and having to leave the field.

Powelltown goaled late to lead by that margin as the teams changed over for the last time.

Cooper marked strongly at CHF to get his side going in the last quarter but a behind was the result before Matt Steiner forwarded from a pack and Steven, now playing at full forward goaled to give Alex the lead.

Another Alex poster doubled the margin but the game was up for grabs as Powelltown also added behinds.

Behinds to Powelltown levelled the scores before Steve Steiner kicked his third successive goal for Alex to lead by one straight kick.

In a tight, tense last few minutes a "Selwood" free in the goal square enabled the Demons to level, each team tried hard to gain that extra scoring shot but the final siren sounded with each team locked on 12.17 (89).

Best players included Steve Steiner (4 goals), Scott Heveren, Michael Coombs, Ben Cooper, Daniel Roper and Tom Rouget.

Alexandra now have the next two Saturdays off before travelling to Seville for round 5 and hope the break enables them to regain some injured players.

only two years ago that Terry made a clean sweep of the competitions in F standard.

Now after a serious back injury, two years away from shooting and the move into the very difficult F Open class Terry shot 286.15 in “The Hunt” to be placed 10th, 509.34 in the SA Queen’s Prize and 15th place and then in the Grand Aggregate 793.49 and 10th place. Well done Terry.

The range at Lower Light is one of the hardest in the country with winds that can literally tear the 6m long wind flags from their poles. All this on the top of a very long drive.

We still can’t believe a 60.8 and a 60.9 and only second place.

Meanwhile back home on the Violet Town range those not travelling to South Australia were hard at it working on ways to improve their scores after the very narrow loss to Karramomus in the first round of the McAuliffe Shield.

The first shoot over 500 yards was on Wednesday (May 2) shot under almost ideal conditions, we say almost as there is always that Violet Town wind than lays in wait for the shooters and seems to catch even the most experienced shoots from time to time.

The practice proved to be most valuable as some of the ammunition proved not to be as good as first thought.

Marty Kelly took top score for the day and his 60.6 was brilliant where he judged the wind very well loosing out slightly in elevation.

The group was 42.8mm wide by 67.5mm high The results were: in F Standard Robert Irving 52.1, 56.4, 57.1 = 165.6, Brian Houlihan 53,49.3,47 149.3, Peter 56.3 and Rosco Davis 56.

In F Open Norm Linehan 51.1, 54.1 = 105.2 and Neal Hambridge 55.3, In F Target Rifle Marty Kelly 60.6, 58.5, 59.5 = 177.16.

On Saturday (May 5) the conditions really began to challenge the shooters, the good rain on Thursday nigh certainly cleared air and by Saturday the cooler conditions meant the mirage was harder to see and the cloud that parted from time to time meant changing light both combined with a very strong gusty wind gave the shooters a real challenge.

The shoot was the first club championship shoot for 2018 and was shot over 300, 500 and 600 yards.

The E targets made the range management easy but fitting in three ranges in one afternoon is still a challenge in logistics.

Fortunately the shoot was over in good time for a cuppa before the trip home.

The results from the Club Championship will be determined for the different classes at the end of the 2018 season, we can say it got off to a great start with Neal Hambridge taking 500 yards with a 60.5 on a count back from Marty Kelly who also shot 60,5. Looks like we could be in for some tough competition during the year.

The results from Saturday May 5 were in F Standard Geoff James 50.3, 53.1, 56.2 =159.6, Richard Godden 55.1, 53.1, 50 = 158.2 and Brain Houlihan 44, 33.2 = 74.2 In F Open Neal Hambridge 58.3, 60.5, 58.2 = 176.10, Norm Linehan 52.1 58.4, 53.1 =163.6 and Tess Kelly 53.2 at 600 yards one range only.

F Target Rifle Marty Kelly 59.2. 60.5, 59.2 = 178.9. (off-rifle top score for the day).

Shooting will be at Violet Town next week please check the club calendar on the ECDRA web site (ecdra.com.au) for details. New shooters are most welcome.

To the boys’ credit they fought it out for the next three quarters but they were out classed by a slick Gembrook reserves side.

Brendon Howlett and Jesse Rabjones were stand outs in the loss. Final score was 2.6 (18) to 23.11 (149). ★ In the 2 o’clock game the Lakers went down 11.8 (74) to 18.13 (121).

The game was fairly even until Gembrook took the advantage of playing against Kinglake with only 17 players on the field after a yellow card.

Gembrook piled on seven goals to zero in the period that we were a player short.

The Lakers fought out the day in vain with the margin being to great for us to peg back.

Aaron Burns was the star of the day booting seven out of 11 goals and Bailey Hamer played beyond his years down back on more experienced forwards.

We will look to bounce back this Saturday at home against Yarra Junction.

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT ■ Terry Gee from the East Central District Rifle Association made the long trip to Adelaide last week to contest the South Australian Queen’s prize competition and acquitted himself well with some brilliant shooting and some mixed results in a field of high standard shooters in his F Open Class.

Twice at 300m he shot the possible 60 points the first with 8 super-centres and he was forced into second place by a count back then nine super-centres and yet again to be forced into second place by a shooter scoring the maximum (perfect) 60.10 points.

At 700 meters in “The Hunt” competition he shot 60.3 to yet again be pushed into fourth position.

A good example of the strength of competition was when in the Queen’s at 700 yards he shot a brilliant 59.5, dropping just 1.5 points, only to find himself in 15th position.

The South Australian competition is in three parts “The Hunt”, The Queen’s Prize and the Grand Aggregate.

To say the least this is a very full week of shooting that tests the very best shots and it was

Property depreciation services Just Depreciation is always going the extra mile to help all our clients whenever we can. We have decided to answer some of our frequently asked questions to help give you some advice and get a better understanding of our services to save you time and money.

If, for any reason, there are still questions you would like to ask us about our property depreciation services then donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to call our friendly team who would be only too happy to help.

My property is old is it worthwhile getting a report prepared?

Yes, all properties regardless of age have some form of depreciation. The fixtures and fittings in the property must be valued at the date that you first make the property available for rental. Just Depreciation recommend reports for all residential properties no matter how old the building may be.

I have owned the property for a number of years and not claimed any depreciation, have I missed out?

No, we will start your report from the first date of rental and your accountant can apply to the Taxation Office to get previous returns adjusted. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to claim any property depreciation.

How long does the report last for?

Our reports have 10 years of detailed information and enough detail for your accountant to expand on the individual items after this date so you won't have to arrange for a another report unless you carry out major renovations or improvements.

Do you guarantee your report will be worthwhile?

Yes of course, and we guarantee that if you do not receive a deduction that is twice the amount of our fee in the first year, then the report will be free. We believe this is the fairest and best possible outcome either way for our clients.

What is the process? Do I have to make appointments?

No, we make the appointments on your behalf via your rental manager and liaise with tenants for a suitable time for the property inspection so you need not worry about a thing.

What happens at the inspection?

We measure the property, take photos, take note of all depre ciable items and any capital building write off deductions that may apply and then return to the office to calculate and process the report.
