He farmed the Glenlinden property at Homewood, and the property’s stencil was placed on the coffin.

Celebrant Ann McCormack introduced Doug’s loyal and trusted friend, Geoff Coleman, who delivered the eulogy.

Tributes were also given by sister Patricia Knight, Kelly and Issach Drysdale, and Alex Drysdale.

A guard of honour was given, as coffin bearers Alex Drysdale, Paul Mann, Geoff Coleman, John Priest, Tom McGrath and Bernie Moss made their way to the Old Yea Cemetery.

A wake, following the burial, was hosted

by Doug’s family: Kelly, Shannon, Verity and Alex.

MP VOTES AGAINST TAX CUTS

■ Indi MHR Cathy McGowan has voted against the Federal Coalition’s proposed tax changes.

Ms McGowan says early feedback to her Indi Budget Survey indicates personal income tax is of major concern to the community.

“The Government’s proposed tax changes need to be fair and balanced. I don’t believe they have got it right,” Ms McGowan said.

“I voted against the Government’s Personal Income Tax Plan for high income earners.

“While I support tax cuts for low and middle income earners, if it is a trade-off between cuts for high income earners and provision of more services then the choice is clear.

“The tax system needs to be fair and pro-

gressive. I support addressing bracket creep. I do not support a flattening of the tax thresholds proposed in the government’s legislation that will see someone earning $41,000 a year paying the same marginal tax rate as someone on $200,000 a year.

“The proposed tax cuts have three stages.

Stage three is the most unfair. I will vote in support of stage 1 and parts of stage 2, but not the elements that lift the 37 per cent threshold from $90,000 to $200,000 by July 1, 2024.

“The 2018 Budget survey of my electorate clearly indicates the fairness of the tax system is a concern for the community,” Ms McGowan said.

SES recognises M’dindi Council

■ SES Regional Emergency Management Operations Officer John Newlands visited Murrindindi Shire on Thursday to present Council with a certificate of appreciation for itsstorm preparation efforts prior to the rain event on December 1 last year. Council staff prepared more than 500 sandbags, which they made available to the community and SES units. ● Pictured (from left): Victorian SES Regional Emergency Management Operations Officer John Newlands, Murrindindi Shire Council Deputy Mayor Cr Sandice McAulay, Murrindindi Shire Council Co-Ordinator Emergency Management and Local Laws Chris Price, Controller SES Alexandra Peter Weeks and Murrindindi Shire Council Manager Infrastructure Operations Mark Leitinger.

Council Briefs Dementia sessions

■ Three community information sessions on dementia and memory loss are being delivered ib Murrindindi Shire through the Age Friendly Communities initiative in partnership with Community and Neighbourhood Houses.

“There is strong interest from the community in these sessions with 25 people attending the first session in Kinglake,” said Deputy Mayor Cr Sandice McAulay.

Perceived conflicts

■ Crs JackieAshe, Rebecca Bowles, Charlie Bisset and Sandice McxAulay each told last week’s meeting of Murrindindi Shire Council that there could be perceived conflicts of interest regarding the Business and Tourism Innovation Grants.

The Mayor, Cr Bisset, said: “It may be assumed that I have a conflict of interest in participating in decision making in relation to agenda item 9.1 being the ‘Business and Tourism Innovation Grants – Industry and Economy Growth - Evaluation Panel Report’.

“My husband is an employee of the Outdoor Education Group, one of the applicants.

“I have taken advice from Council officers and I not believe I have either a direct or indirect conflict of interest in this matter, as defined under the Local Government Act 1989,” Cr Bisset said.

Cr Ashe said: “My husband and I have a similar business in the same town as an applicant.”

Cr Bowles declared: “A friend of mine is an applicant.”

Cr McAulay said: “I am an ordinary member, in a non-executive role, of the Taggerty Community Progress Group, which is one of the applicants.”

Cr Rae’s questions

■ Redbank Ward Councillor Margaret Rae had a number of questions for Murrindindi Shire Council officers last week about the Business and Tourism Innovation Grants: Cr Rae: Can you confirm that the proposed grants being awarded for each application are not more than 50 per cent of the total budget of the projects?

Officer: Yes, that is correct.

Cr Rae: Did officers consider the option of providing loans instead of grants under this program?

Officer: It was considered, however Council would effectively need to become a lending authority requiring compliance with the National Credit Code and the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority guidelines, which is very onerous and not recommended for Councils.

Cr Rae: Does the limit of $10,000 additional allocation by the CEO apply to the total grant program?

Officer: Yes, that is correct.

Ian appointed

■ Murrindindi Shire Council has appointed Ian McKaskill to the Audit Advisory Committee as an external independent member.

It will call for expressions of interest for the remaining vacant committee position.

“Mr McKaskill has a senior corporate management background (Managing Director level), specialising in management of major infrastructure projects,” said a Council report.

“He is a Graduate member of Australian Institute of Company Directors and holds executive roles across several local community organisations.

“The su-committee felt that M r McKaskill demonstrated a thorough understanding of the role of the Audit Advisory Committee and is recommending that Council appoint him to one of the vacant positions.

“A second expression of interest was received from a local community member, who whilst demonstrating senior business management experience in corporate and community settings, did not demonstrate sufficient understanding of the role of the Audit Advisory Committee to satisfy the subcommittee.

It is recommended that Council re-advertise the second vacancy,” the report said.

Clean waste helps ■ The clean condition of recycled waste is helping Murrindindi Shire’s efforts, says Cr Eric Lording.

“Recycled material is still being accepted from our yellow top bins by our recycling contractors,” Cr Lording told last week’s meeting of Council.

“Residents can greatly assist our efforts by doubly ensuring that the waste in these bins is not contaminated with foodstuffs or general waste.

“Especially no coffee cups or other waxed paper products.

“By us all putting in the ef-

● Cr Eric Lording

fort, we can ensure our recyclable waste has very low to zero levels of contamination, ensuring that our recycling product is in demand compared to others.

“We have noticed the extra effort that residents are putting into sorting the waste.

“It is wonderful to feel that the people of our shire are getting behind Council and making a difference.

“The future is now less uncertain. Having a pristine recycled product will make a big difference,” Cr Lording told the meeting.

Cash flow confusion ■ Murrindindi Shire Council’s early receipt of government funds may mean the 2018-19 accounts run at a loss, Cr Leigh Dunscombe told last week’s meeting.

“I flagged last month the very real possibility that, as was the case last year, the Victorian Grants Commission may remit some or all of the 2018-19 funding allocation early, that is in this financial year instead of the next for which it has been budgeted, Cr Dunscome said.

“This possibility is looking more and more likely. While this would have no material effect on finances, and in fact would be a good thing, it would affect the bottom line figure in the 201819 first quarter budget update by turning a balanced budget into a deficit by the remitted amount.

“Under current accounting standards this type of revenue must be recorded in the financial year in which it is actually received and as such, can be a source of confusion if not properly explained or accurately reported.

“This same situation occurred last year and proved to be a major source of confusion throughout our communities.

“The Draft Council Budget for the 2018-19 financial year is open for public consideration and submissions and I would encourage everyone, if you haven’t already done so, to have a look over the budget and let us know your thoughts. I “I am encouraged by the verbal feedback I have been hearing and look forward to reviewing all of the official submissions from our communities,” Cr Dunscombe said.

■ Alexandra Racecourse and Recreation Reserve is now benefitting from a more predictable financial base, Cr Margaret Rae told last week's Murrindindi Shire Council meeting.

"Long term planning is the aim of this very effective committee," Cr Rae said.

Endangered Species

■ An Artist’s Journey of the Endangered Species by Cherie Demir will be launched from 11am-12 Noon on Sunday (June 3) at the Harold Mitchell Performing Arts Centre, Eltham College, 1660 Main Rd,Research.

MHR pledges boost ■ Rob Mitchell, MHR for McEwen visited Whittlesea business Luscombe Automotive, to talk about Labor’s plans to to put more money back into the pockets of car owners and give 23,000 independent repairers a boost.

“Labor’s plan will see car manufacturers having to share their technical information, so that vehicles can be serviced by any mechanic,” Mr Mitchell said.

“This opens up opportunities to shop local for many who currently have to travel significant distance to address issues with their vehicles.

“New cars are computers on wheels. Real-time access to digital files and codes, which vary from car to car, is needed to complete many aspects of a repair or service.

“Car manufacturers generally own and control this technical information and in many cases are the only sources.

Highway works ■ ‘Expect delays’ is the message from Vic Roads in connection with works at Melba Hwy, north of the Healesville-Kinglake Rd. Works are expected to take approximately two weeks, dependent on weather.

“Minor traffic delays may occur between 7am and 5pm, with one lane closed and a reduced speed limit of 40kmh,” said a Vic Roads spokesman.

● Mark Twain ■ “Never argue with a fool,” advised Mark Twain. “Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”

There is a Norman Gunston-type character locally who has an unhealthy obsession with Long Shots.

Plenty of hate messages by phone, email and at our Local Paper website. The internet age has produced ‘trolls’: cowards who ‘flame’ insults.

We accept that media practitioners are fair targets in the 21st Century ... but if only the fools checked their facts!

Our hater has been criticising our win some years ago of the ‘Best Local Reporting’ award of the Victorian Country Press Association.

Our critic said it was an advertising sales award. WRONG, it was a gong for editorial excellence.

They said it was not an award judged by journalism peers.

WRONG, the judge in our year was broadcaster and journalism educator Patrick Tennison.

Tennison said our coverage of a Yea Council event was “Lively, informative journalism at its best.”

Our critic said the award was sponsored

by National Australia Bank. WRONG, it was Westpac.

Our critic said the bank was our advertising client. WRONG AGAIN. Not true.

The clown aspires to be a journalist.

Award hopes

● Cr Sandice McAulay ■ Murrindindi Shire Council has been nominated for the Family Day CareAustralia Service of the Year Award through Family Day CareAustralia, Deputy Mayor Cr Sandice McAulay told last week’s meeting of Council.

Four local educators have also been nominated for the Educator of the Year Awards.

Dear Dorothy ■ Yan Yean politician Danielle Green is an expert at the State Parliamentary practice of asking questions of her own party colleagues, already knowing the outcome.

Ms Green last week posed this ‘Dorothy Dix’-er: “My constituency question is to the Minister for Public Transport.

“I ask whether a Parkiteer bicycle storage facility can be provided at Diamond Creek station to assist passenger access to the train station and to promote healthy travel options.”

Ms Green even knew the brand name.

By the way, it’s only 25½-weeks to the Victorian state elections.

■ It is National Reconciliation Week. There was an event yesterday (Tues.) in Yea. It makes me share this: Question: Do I have part-Aboriginal bloodline?

When I was aged 9 (1965), one of my Christmas presents was a boomerang.

It didn't seem strange at the time, but my grandmother, Althea Long, who would have then been aged 76, took me to parkland at Heidelberg, and energetically taught me how to throw it.

I don't know why I was given a boomerang as a gift. I don't know why as a 76-yearold, normally in her kitchen, suddenly started running around a park.

Althea was born at Gorae, near Portland, on July 4, 1889. She was the fifth child of Charles and Ellen Clay (nee Martyn).

My sister Denise and I ponder whether Althea had a part-Aboriginal or full-Aboriginal bloodline.

All official local births records for a period of 10-15 years from that time have apparently been destroyed.

We wonder whether Althea may have been adopted, or may have had a different birth-mother.

My Dad, Jim Long - before he married my Mum in 1945 - told her that he had Aboriginal heritage.

Mum laughed it off at the time, and thought he was just joking. This was some 20+ years before the 1967 referendum that finally gave Australian citizenship status to Aboriginal people.

Prior to 1967, Aborigines did not have the right to vote, or to be included in the Census.

When my sister was aged 5-6, Dad told her of Aboriginal heritage. He called her a 'Black Princess'. Was it just story-telling or the truth? We may never know.

Over the past few years, my sister has been researching the matter.

Checks with the Public Record Office in Victoria have been inconclusive.

So too have enquiries with Aboriginal cooperatives in western Victoria.

We have our intuition, but no official proof.

Future generations may have access to more evidence - one way or another.

We have immense pride that there is a possibility that we may have part-Aboriginal heritage.

We understand this in 21st Century times when there is still much stigma against AustralianAboriginality.

Wouldn't it be great to now put questions to our departed-grandmother and father?

Would we be prepared for the answers?

Althea was an athlete, a skilled horsewoman, a formidable markswoman, a nurse (who trained at theAustin), and ran her own hospital at Portland. We loved her dearly.

The L ocal Paper - Wednesday, May 30, 2018 - Page 13

Local Briefs Arthurs Ck safety

■ Luke Donnellan, State Minister for Roads and Road Safety, is being urged to fund the installation of electronic 40kilometre-an-hour speed signs at Arthurs Creek Primary School located on Arthurs Creek Rd. “The school is situated on a very tricky corner; everybody who goes there knows how difficult it is to find a parking space across the road,” said Cindy McLeish, MLA for Eildon last week.

“You have to reverse into the car park because it is such a tight and tricky corner.

“The road is a local government road, so the minister will need to work with the local Nillumbik council on this one.

“The school community is concerned that drivers rarely abide by the speed limits and very often do not acknowledge that people are waiting to cross the road or are on the crossing as the vehicles pass through.

“This sort of thing happens on a daily basis with cars, motorbikes and trucks.

“The local community that knows the crossing well and knows the school well are very aware of it, but there is increased traffic now between the northern growth corridor and Hurstbridge.

“It is not going to get any less; it is going to increase if anything. We cannot let this continue.

“VicRoads has said here and there that, yes, it will supply the lights and that it will do the installation.

“Then it says that it will not and that the council needs to do this. So there has been a bit of toing and froing over time, but it has gained a little bit of momentum.

“In November last year I received advice from council that it had written to VicRoads requiring it to sign off on major traffic control items like this, and it had inprinciple support for the signs, so it was about the funding required for these.

“I note that in the current budget, and I reference budget paper 3, pages 11 and 21, that $18 million or so has been allocated to school area safety.

“It says that: ‘The government will provide funding to continue its shared commitment with local government to supervise school crossings …

“It goes on to talk about safety improvements, including new electronic speed limit signs being installed in high-risk areas.

“I implore the minister to have a look at budget paper 3, use that school area safety component of the budget and have this school and the students kept a lot safer than they currently are with these traffic conditions.

“Small localities like Arthurs Creek should not be ignored, and student safety should not be put at risk.

“I think the minister should also have a good look at the road and fix it as well,” Ms McLeish said.

Local News

Come to Kinglake, Flowerdale, Yea: MP ■ Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green says that areas such as Kinglake, Flowerdale and Yea could potentially benefit under payroll taxation changes being promoted by the Labor State Government.

“In particular, as someone who grew up in regional Victoria and who is now the Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria, I want to highlight what a benefit the measures contained in this bill and flagged in the budget are to job generation in this state,” Ms Green told the Legislative Assembly last week.

“I know you, Acting Speaker Couzens, as a regional member as well, fully understand how the reduction in payroll tax last year and now the effective halving this year is going to make an enormous difference to some 4000 businesses in regional Victoria.

“It means that every municipality, like the Shire of Mitchell and the Shire of Murrindindi — which are still struggling with the ravages after Black Saturday and have still got much less population and fewer

● Danielle Green MLA for Yan Yean rate notices than they did nine years ago — will have the advantage of being able to go out to the corporate sector and say, ‘We are not very far from Melbourne. We have got good places like Kinglake, Flowerdale and Yea where you could come and invest and pay half the payroll tax if 85 per cent of your employees are outside greater Melbourne’.

“So it not only means that

people can live and work in country communities or work very close to where they live in outer suburban Melbourne but it also has the ability to make a significant difference in congestion for those of us who represent and/or live in the outer suburbs when we see the trail of red tail-lights going into town in the morning peak and then going out of town in the evening peak.

“I know that particularly in the Shire of Mitchell they are really on the front foot with this.

“They have put out a prospectus to the market, pretty much saying, ‘Come and invest in Mitchell, not only because it is a great place to live and work, but because it is a great place to invest because of the reduction in payroll tax’.

“Also those moving into that shire can have access to the regional first home owners grant: $20,000 rather than $10,000.

“They can have the benefit of stamp duty that is not payable on housing below $600 000,” Ms Green told the Legislative Assembly.

Salute to local volunteers

■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish last week raised concerns in State Parliament: “I want to talk about ... is the Duties Act 2000 and the young farmers duty concession,” Ms McLeish said.

“This is an interesting one. It increases the stamp duty exemptions for young farmers, so for people under 35, for agricultural land worth up to $600,000 — previously this was $300,000 — and at a concessional rate for land valued between $600,000 and $750,000.

“I am not sure how much the members opposite, members of the government, actually understand what you get for $600 000.

“I know in the area that I live, in and around Yea or the Murrindindi Shire, for $500,000 you might only get 100 acres.

“For 100 acres there is not a lot of good profitable farming that you are actually going to be able to reap from that land.

“I know that 10 acre blocks in Mansfield might be $350 000, but when you have a look at 100 acres up there it might be $700,000.

“In the areas in and around where I live this exception is really not going to help young farmers, particularly because it is very difficult to make a profit and be able to exist on 100 acres.

“I am not sure whether members across the chamber really understand the value of land in country Victoria.

“Obviously it is not all the same. If you move down to the Yarra Valley, the farmland down there is worth nearly $7000 an acre.

That gets quite high.

“In fact 52 acres at Dixons Creek will cost you $1 million. How much this is going to be able to assist young farmers is quite interesting.

“But then if you have a look further north and west of the state, somewhere around Charlton, for example, you might get a couple of hundred acres for $250 000.

“That may help but, again, that is typically broadacre cropping or sheep farming, and it may be a little difficult, as I said, to make a good income from that.

“I would say you would need to be supplementing your income with other work or maybe being part of your parents’ property,” Ms McLeish said.

Plenty of problems

Wire rope petition

■ Hundreds of people had their say on installation of wire rope barrier across Victoria last Parliamentary sitting week, when Nationals Deputy Leader Steph Ryan tabled a petition calling for the Andrews Government’s rollout to be stopped.

The petition urged the government to halt the rollout until further investigation and consultation is had with the community.

Ms Ryan met with protestors on the steps of Parliament House to listen to their concerns about the rollout.

“Right across country Victoria people are concerned with the Andrews Government’s hasty installation of these wire barriers,” Ms Ryan said.

“There should be a strict set of criteria about how and when wire barriers are used, but instead the government has breached its own guidelines to roll them out everywhere along freeways.

“Emergency services, farmers and road users have all pointed out to the government the dangers created by unbroken kilometres of these barriers.

“The government has heighten the risk of people getting trapped in a fire and has made it more difficult to respond to emergencies,” Ms Ryan said.

■ Danielle Green, Yan Yean MLA, says Nillumbik Council needs to remove impediments to a new fire station at Plenty.

“The action that I seek is for (the Minister of Emergency Services) is to instruct his agencies to have urgent discussions with the Nillumbik shire to remove impediments preventing the progress of the construction of a new Country Fire Authority station at Plenty,” Ms Green said last week.

“This fabulous brigade has been campaigning for a decade for a new station. Labor made an election commitment in 2010 to do so for both the Plenty and Wattle Glen brigades.

“Sadly we were not elected at that election, and the coalition had made no such commitment. Even worse, the Wattle Glen brigade was pressured to close and the Plenty brigade had to contend with rumours of them being taken over as a staffed station, so consequently nothing was built.

“In 2014 Labor again made an election commitment to build the Plenty fire station and the Wattle Glen fire station, and we funded that early in our term.

“The alignment of Yan Yean Road, with another great project that they are doing meant the sourcing of land was complex.

“CFA is looking forward to working closely with council to achieve the best possible outcome for the Plenty community.

“Now, some nine months on, nothing has progressed.

“This brigade badly needs a station to be built and in place before the next fire season, and the only impediment to this is Liberalled council.

“The Liberals did nothing in government at a state level and now they are in control of Nillumbik council and they are trying to hold up the protection of this great community,” Ms Green said.

Special Report

Legal setbacks for Jack Russell ■ Yea resident Jack Russell’s legal fight against Murrindindi Shire Council last week received a number of significant setbacks with determinations by Supreme Court Associate Justice Mary-Jane Ierodiaconou.

Margaret Abbey, outgoing Chief Executive Officer of Murrindindi Shire, has been removed as a defendant in Mr Russell’s action against the Council.

Mr Russell sought wide-ranging discovery orders in his bid for a judicial review against the Council.

These have been dismissed.

Several matters are being held simultaneously under the Judicial Review and Appeals List of the Common Law Division of the Supreme Court of Victoria.

“He wishes to interrogate seven non-parties to this proceeding, and MsAbbey, the first defendant," said Associate Justice Ierodiaconou.

“Some of the non-parties are employees of the ... Murrindindi Shire Council. Others are not. “ Mr Russell has filed a flotilla of affidavit material. He is self-represented.

“Much of his affidavit material is not in admissible form as it contains opinions.

“He is self-represented, however, and accordingly I have read such material and considered it in the nature of submissions,” said Associate Justice Ierodiaconou.

“Mr Russell seeks judicial review of a decision banning him from entry to Council facilities for 12 months: he is not permitted to enter Council building and facilities, nor attend Council events or meetings during that period.”

The Supreme Court determination listed that Ms Abbey originally banned Mr Russell from Council premises in 2016, then extended that ban for 12 months in 2017.

(Interim Murrindindi Shire CEO Craig Lloyd has since imposed a further three-year ban on Mr Russell.)

Associate Justice Ierodiaconou said the 2017 letter referred to the

● Jack Russell letter above relates to a ban on 43 Council buildings and facilities.

“This ban purported to continue an earlier ban on Mr Russell from entering Council properties and facilities; the earlier ban being communicated to him by letter dated April 18, 2016.

Associate Justice Ierodiaconou said: “The ground upon which Mr Russell sought judicial review was on the broad ground that neither the Council nor Ms Abbey had legal power to make the decision to ban him; and if Mr Russell was to succeed on that ground, he would be seeking an order in the nature of certiorari in respect of the decision.”

(Certiorari is a writ or order by which a higher court reviews a case tried in a lower court.)

“Mr Russell seeks interrogatories directed to MsAbbey, together with other employees of Council being Mr Bond, Ms Tull, Ms Pauline Roberts, and Ms Julie Blyth.

“Mr Russell also seeks to interrogate Ms Lyndall Tait. On March 21, 2016, she made a complaint to Council regarding Mr Russell’s behaviour towards children during ‘story time’ in the Yea Library.

What The Papers Say Service off road ■ An organisation which has provided transport to the frail, aged, and those living with a disability, will shut its Seymour office next month.

CommunityAccessibility, which services the Greater Hume and Goulburn region, has supported the Mitchell and Murrindindi shires through its Oak St office since the mid2000s.

But Community Accessibility chief executive Helen Hunter said the Seymour office, which was designed to provide a local presence and co-ordinate volunteers and vehicles, has seen a fading demand, while the organisation ran at a $100,000 to $180,000 loss in consecutive years.

Blinding impact ■ Police are warning motorists to be aware of sun-glare following a crash on the Maroondah Highway in Healesville on Friday.

A Holden Commodore driven by a Croydon man crashed into a tractor turning right from the highway in what Healesville Police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said had the potential to be a double fatality.

Volunteer gong ■ A Mernda volunteer firefighter who spent months doing everything he could for victims of the Black Saturday bushfires has received a highly commended spirit award by the Country FireAuthority.

Raymundo Rosales (Ray) received the award at a ceremony in Ballarat.

In 2009 he was recovering from an ankle operation when the Black Saturday fires broke out and could not help extinguish them.

Instead, he offered other kinds of help.

“For over two months I did anything people needed,” he said. “Buying food, cooking, getting people clothing.”

From Our 1918 Files

Welcome home ■ A public welcome was given to the returned district soldiers in the Yea Shire hall on Friday night, when Mrs J. D. Hamilton, president of the local Red Cross Committee, occupied the chair.

Seatid on the platform with her were Mr H. W. Greenwood, representative of the Central Red Cross Executive, who had visited Egypt for the purpose of placing the affairs of the Red Cross on a satisfactory business basis in that country; MrG. Buckley, one of the vice presidents of the local society, and Lieut. R. S. McAlpin and seven other returned soldiers.

The hall was very prettily decorated for the occasion, a large red cross being very prominent, as well as the Australian flag and Union Jack, while small tables were placed here and there on the floor of the hall.

Prior to the opening, the Yea orchestra played a selection, at the conclusion of which the returned soldiers, led by Lieut. McAlpin, marched into the hall and on to the stage, to the accompaniment of God Save Our King, also played by the orchestra.

ANZAC interludes Come, join the army, Make no delay, Front seats a deener, Back seats a tray; Plenty of music, plenty of fun, Plenty of old rag to clean your dirty gun.

News from trenches ■ The following letter' was received by Mrs Anderson, from Private L. Creed, acknowledging .receipt of a parcel despatched by the YeaTrench Fund committee.

We appreciate all goods, and are always pleasedto hear from our home folks: All the boys are well and in hopes of a decisive victory being gained, and returning home shortly. I will now close, again thanking you for your kindness - I am, Yours truly, L. CREED.

Spring Creek ■ After the celebration of Empire Day in the State school inAlexandra, Cr Baker, Sergeant Milroy and Quarter-Master Sergeant Taylor went out to Spring Creek to take part in the celebrations there.

150 Years of Local Press

Last train out of Yea, almost gone ■ The last train, hauled by diesel locomotive Y 158 departed Yea at 6.30pm on Monday, November 6, 1978.

“No train ever visited the Yea area again,” comments rail historian Lance Adams, at Michael Minter’s yea.com.au website.

'The main northeast line reached Tallarook and Seymour in November 1872 and it was from the former location that it was eventually decided that the rail should branch eastward along the Goulburn River valley into one of the most picturesque areas in Victoria.

The Murrindindi Shire’s Hertiage Study, quoting Sid Brown’s 'Mansfield Railway Centenary'feature in Newsrail, 1991, said: It was 10 years later in 1882 that a line was surveyed as far as Yea and the construction contract let.

The route followed the curves and undulations of the valley, hugging the steep walls on the south side of the river.

C. & E. Miller signed the contract to construct the 38.1 km railway on September 27, 1882, and 14 months later the line to Yea was opened for business.

This was a very creditable feat, achieved by a team of over 1000 men and requiring the erection of 23 bridges.

The cost was $200 000 and the terrain was not easy. For instance, in the first 11.2 km to Trawool, there were 17 curves and 68 changes of grade.

The Minister of Railways, Mr Gillies, gave permission for the line to be opened on November 16, 1883, although engine sheds and turntables at Tallarook and Yea, goods facilities and intermediate sidings were not completed until the following year.

The Tallarook loco depot was built in the V-shaped section of land between the main line to Seymour and the branch line.

Intermediate stations to Yea were Trawool (until 1910 spelt Traawool, native for 'wild water'), Kerrisdale (initially called Windham) and Homewood.

About 1893, a siding was opened 2 km on the down side of Trawool. It was named Wright's Siding. It later became Trawool Falls Siding, and was changed again in November 1904 to Granite, referring to the stone being loaded at that location.

The siding was removed in 1919, but a one car length platform erected about 1910 remained until December 1951.

Yea was the line terminus for six years. Several routes had been suggested for the extension of the line from Yea to Mansfield, but these were met with sporadic opposition from Benalla residents who preferred that a line to Mansfield should branch from the main line at their town.

Eventually the decision was made that the line would extend from Yea. The first section, a 17.2 km extension to Molesworth, was started on April 27, 1887, and completed and opened on November 12, 1889, with two intermediate stations, Cheviot and Balham. The latter was closed on June 17, 1893.

Three kilometres beyond Yea the line crossed the Yea River, a tributary of the Goulburn, on a curved bridge and climbed into the foothills of Mt Cunningham.

caused reduction in steam service until October 1945, when 80 hp Leyland rail motor cars ('Double Enders') took over the passenger operation between Tallarook and Mansfield, providing two morning and two evening services each way per week.

Four Double Enders went into service in 1925-26 and had accommodation for 27 first class and 29 second class passengers.

The Alexandra line passenger service was terminated in October 1945, but goods trains still ran twice weekly, on Mondays and Wednesdays.

A goods train also ran four days a week to and from Mansfield. The only surviving mixed train was the Monday morning up from Yea. The mid-1970s saw state parliament accept recommendations for the closure of numerous branch lines, the setting up of Regional Freight Centres at certain main line stations with forwarding of goods by road and the introduction of buses for passengers.

The Tallarook - Yea - Mansfield/ Alexandra railway featured high on the list for elimination. As a consequence, train operations began to wind down with the cessation of the railmotor service on Saturday, May 28, 1977.

In the following February, the Seymour Freight Centre was established and regular goods trains were cancelled on the branch line, with locos and crews being transferred to Seymour.

Wednesday, February 1 and Friday, February 3, 1978 were the dates of the running of the last goods trains to Alexandra and Mansfield respectively.

The weekend February 4 and 5, 1978 was the first in 93 years on which an engine had not been stabled in the Yea loco area.

For the following nine months, trains ran on the line on an 'as required' basis, operated from Seymour.

On August 2, 1978, loco Y131 departed Cathkin at 8.45 am with the last revenue train to Alexandra.

It left on the return journey with a guard's van and one truck.

Two months later, on October 23, 1978, Y166 hauled steam loco J5l2 to be preserved on track at Alexandra as a static exhibit.

The diesel returned light engine and the line had seen its last movement beyond Cathkin to Alexandra.

Trains ran spasmodically to Mansfield for another fortnight, until finally on Monday, November 6, 1978 loco Y158 trundled westward out of Mansfield into history with its small train, which after leaving Yea had only eight vehicles.

Thus came to an end the working of the Mansfield line.

This train heralded the end of 86½ years of rail service to Mansfield.

Mansfield's ganger Ken Close and his cat were the only ones to see the last train disappear up the line.“ In a press release from VicRail it was announced that the Tallarook to Mansfield and Alexandra lines would formally close on Wednesday November 8.

It was on May 28 that the last passenger train left Mansfield for Melbourne.

It took 2¾ hours to reach Yea because the track had deteriorated.

The departure of the last passenger train and the last goods train was in marked contrast to the official opening of the track and arrival of the first passenger train .

Learning to Ride

Balance Bikes from Ivanhoe Cycles Balance Bikes (also called training bikes) are pedalless bikes designed to provide fun and exercise and to teach the basic skills of steering, balance and co-ordination.

They are suited to a child from 2 to 5 years of age.

The child simply sits astride the balance bike and "walks" while steering with the handlebars.

It effectively allows them to learn balance without having to learn to pedal at the same time. It cuts the learning "gradient" down. They are also called pre bikes or first bikes.

Balance bikes are becoming increasingly popular, as it is so much easier to learn to ride. Learning to ride can be achieved at their own pace. A less confident child can â&#x20AC;&#x153;walkâ&#x20AC;? it around for as long as they like, then

when ready, they can gradually lift their feet and scoot along until they are ready to simply push off and just roll along.

More confident kids will be flying around with huge smiles in no time at all.

Because they have a sturdy aluminium or steel frame and well constructed wheels they are virtually trouble free, and can be passed down from child to child.

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood

Stars flock to West Hollywood

■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.

Out and About

Alan Johnson’s Basic Instinct

■ West Hollywood is home to many actors and Sharon Stone and Fay Dunaway are just a couple of notables.

West Hollywood is central to everything Los Angeles has to offer. WeHo is 30 minutes to the Valley, to downtown and to the beaches.

Central to everything is the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites on Santa Monica Boulevard. So many different and diverse shops, restaurants and tourist attractions all in walking distance from the Ramada.

Seen at one of the many retail shops out front of the Ramada was Sharon Stone, an American actress, producer, and former fashion model.

After modelling in television commercials and print advertisements, she made her film debut as an extra in Woody Allen's dramedy Stardust Memories (1980).

Her first speaking part was in Wes Craven's horror film Deadly Blessing (1981), and throughout the 1980s, Stone went on to appear in films such as Irreconcilable Differences (1984), King Solomon's Mines (1985), Cold Steel (1987), Above The Law (1988). She found mainstream prominence with her part in Paul Verhoeven's action film Total Recall (1990).

Stone became a sex symbol and rose to international recognition when she starred as Catherine Tramell in another Verhoeven film, the erotic thriller Basic Instinct (1992), for which she earned her first Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama.

She received further critical acclaim with her performance in Martin Scorsese's crime drama Casino (1995), garnering the Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.

Dylan set to tour Aust.

■ Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman) is an American singer songwriter, author, and painter who has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for more than five decades.

Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became a reluctant "voice of a generation" with songs such as Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They Are aChangin' that became anthems for the Civil Rights Movement and anti-war movement.

In 1965, he controversially abandoned his early fan-base in the American folk music revival, recording a six-minute single, Like a Rolling Stone, which enlarged the scope of popular music.

Dylan's lyrics incorporate a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences. Bob has residences all over America but the one that he spends most time in is his compound in Malibu.

Celine, Queen of Vegas

Cheyenne star dies

■ Celine Dion is back in action. Two months after undergoing ear surgery, the Canadian singer returned to a standing ovation in Las Vegas.

"You know it's been a while since we've done a show, I had a little health issue," Dion quipped to a packed house. " But I have to tell you, I'm extremely happy to be back. The stage is kind of my home away from home and I have to admit I can barely stand on my feet tonight as I am a little bit nervous."

■ In the United States, approximately 7 per cent of households are millionaires.

■ A 2010 study argues that millionaires (those in the top 1 per cent of earners) pay approximately 40 per cent of all taxes.

■ Only 20 per cent of millionaires inherited their wealth. The other 80 per cent earned their cash on their own.

■ The preferred car of millionaires is a Ford. Cadillacs are second and Lincolns are third. Many millionaires avoid highpriced cars in favor of a more economical set of wheels because cars are investments with little return.

■ Only 20 per cent of millionaires are retirees. Around 80 per cent still go to work.

■ Just 17 per cenmt of millionaires or their spouses attended a private elementary or high school. However, 55 per cent of millionaires' children have attended/are attending private schools.

■ It often surprises people that millionaires go bankrupt, too.

■ The average millionaire goes bankrupt at least 3.5 times.

■ Many millionaires think that the ideal occupations for their kids are accountants or attorneys. Tax advisors and estate planning experts are also in the top of the list.

■ Most modern American millionaires today (about 80 per cent) are first-generation millionaires. Usually the fortune they build will dissipate by the second or third generation.

Mixed Martial Arts ■ ESPN is doubling down on UFC, the mixed martial arts league the Disney-owned sports behemoth secured its first TV rights deal in April.

Sources familiar with negotiations say ESPN has struck a deal for a second portion to the package currently held by Fox Sports that will bring the total cost in the neighbourhood of $300 million per year for five years, totaling $1.5 billion.

The new deals, which cover a total of 30 fights per year, kick in early 2019.

■ Congratulations are in order for Clint Eastwood's actress daughter Francesca Eastwood. The 24-year-old is pregnant with her first child, and debuted her baby bump on the red carpet of the Environmental Media Awards last week.

Later in the evening, Francesca stood next to her mother, the actress Frances Fisher, onstage and proudly cradled her bump.

Millionaires in the US

■ The National Football League will no longer allow players to kneel on the field during the National Anthem, according to a series of updated guidelines released by the league. " All team and league personnel on the field shall stand and show respect for the flag and Anthem," reads the first bullet point.

"A club will be fined by the league if its personnel are on the field and so not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem."

■ Clint Walker, a former merchant seaman and real-life deputy sheriff who roamed the West as a towering, solitary figure on Cheyenne, the first hour-long western on television, died in Grass Valley, Calif.

He was 90. His daughter, Valerie Walker, who said the cause was congestive heart failure, confirmed his death, at a hospital.

Mr Walker lived in Grass Valley, about 60 miles northeast of Sacramento, California.

Meghan’s funny family ■ At least he didn't bring it to the royal wedding. Meghan Markle's nephew, a legal cannabis farmer in Oregon, narrowly avoided being arrested by London police after he turned up to a London club with a blade.

Tyler Dooley, 25, allegedly told door staff that he brought the four-inch knife to London in self-defence because he had heard Donald Trump cautioning that London was a dangerous city.

Dooley voluntarily surrendered the knife at the door, but, when told by locals that cops would be called and he would be arrested, he ran off.

Dooley was one of several members of Meghan's family who arrived in London despite having no official invite to the wedding.

The Whittlesea Story: Part 9

Council met at Secretary’s home Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea.

From ‘The Plenty’

by J.W. Payne, 1975.

■ A special meeting of Council was held on April 26, 1954, to consider two petitions forwarded to it from the Public Works Department.

The first called for ‘re-subdivision of the municipal district of the Shire of Broadmeadows for submission in August next to a poll of ratepayers’ The second called for ‘severance of portion of this Shire, and constitution of such portion as a new municpality’, to be determined likewise.

At the June meeting, the Shire Secretary reported that both portions complied with the provisions of the Local Government Act, and accordingly he was instructed to insert the necessary notices in the press.

The August poll of the two proposals showed clearly the desire of the urban section to be parted from its rural component.

On the proposal for re-subdivision creating a fifth riding the voting was, Yes, 10,316, and No, 2543.

The proposal to form two separate districts was even more strongly expressed: Yes, 10,573, and No, 1669.

Confusion reigned in Council. It was realised that the northern rural portion of the Shire would not be financially viable and to create a fifth or urban Riding should offer the best solution.

Finally, it was decided a meeting of ratepayers should indicate a decision.

The meeting took the form of a public inquiry by the Local Government Advisory Board which sat in the Glenroy Public Hall on February 9, 1955, when the two proposals, severance or re-subdivision were examined.

Giving evidence, Cr C.A. Houseden pointed out that while the area of the Shire was 176 square miles, 10 square miles contained the bulk of residents.

In 1947 the population of the northern section was 800, of the southern section 3800.

By 1955 the ratio was even greater, 1000 in the northern section, 23,000 in the southern.

In the same period, the percentage of general rate revenue from the northern section had receded from 14 per cent to 11 pewr cent.

A feeling was evident at the hearing that the northern section should be divided between the Shires of Bulla and Kilmore.

A further inquiry was held by the Local Government Advisory Board on May 13, this time in camera, attended by Shire representatives from Broadmeadows, Bulla, Kilmore and Whittlesea Shires.

Three Broadmeadows councillors were first to speak.

Cr R. Hadfield (Wallan Riding): “Whittlesea Shire Council are likely to build new offices and could take over a part of the Broadmeadows Shire.”

Cr P. Wedding (Darraweit Riding): “It is desirable the whole be taken over as one shire, alternatively, Kilmore should take the northern part”.

Cr R. Poole (Mickleham Riding): “Portion of the northern area should go to Bulla.”

Shire of Whittlesea

“that the motion appointing Mr Ryan’s residence the council meeting place be revoked” and “that meetings of Whittlesea Shire Council be in future held at South Yan Yean Mechanics Institute”.

The September meeting rejected the motions five votes to four, but £30 was placed on the estimates to purchase land for offices at South Yan Yean.

The next year, several offers of office accommodation were received by Council.

In February, Whittlesea Free Library offered their rooms at the Whittlesea Mechanics Institute free of cost, and Norman McPhee offered one acre of land at Yan Yean.

Both these offers were refused, but the following month Mrs Catherine Poole’s offer, free of cost, of half an acre of land directly behind the South Yan Yean Mechanics Institute, was accepted and a survey ordered of the land.

In June, the South Yan Yean Mechanics Institute was offered free of cost to Council who rejected the offer and placed £300 on the estimates towards the cost of new Council offices.

Council was still meeting in Ryan’s house in 1915 when a letter was received from the Minister for Public Works giving formal notice, under Section 4 of the Local Government Amendment Act of 1918, of his intention to obtain an Order in Council uniting the Shire of Epping and the Shire of Whittlesea “as the general and extra rates of the Epping Shire last year did not exceed £1500”. This notice was formerly gazetted on April 28, 1915.

The first meeting of the combined Council was held on October 15 when Cr Clarke was elected President, and both the Secretary, James Ryan, and the Engineer, Charles John McCormack, were confirmed in their positions (the two had served both Councils for many years).

The Secretary was to attend weekly at Epping as before, and Council meetings would continue at South Yan Yean.

The themes of forthright speeches, following a dinner at the Bridge Inn to celebrate the day, are of interest.

Cr McCoy (Epping) said: “It is unfair to be attached. I could not forget the old home.”

Cr B.J. McCormack (Epping) was critical of the Minister for Public Works: “Any old woman could have made better arrangement than he had made, giving Epping one riding against Whittlesea, three.”

James Ryan (Shire Secretary) said: “It has been my happy lot to be secretary to the two shires for 16 years.”

The Engineer, C.J. McCormack, remarked: “I think Whittlesea would benefit by having the assistance of the brains of the Epping Council.”

The combined Council continued in office until August of the following year when all councillors retired, and an election was held giving the candidate with the most votes in each Riding three years in office, next successful two years, and the third, one year. ● To be continued next week in The Local Paper.

Local Paper Magazine

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: THE SHAPE OF WATER: Genre: Adventure/Drama/F antasy.

Cast: Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Octavia Spencer, Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Jenkins, Doug Jones.

Year: 2017.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 123 Minutes .

Stars: **** Verdict: Set in Baltimore in 1962 at the height of the cold-war,, the plot follows a lonely mute janitor at a high-security government laboratory who befriends a captured amphibian creature being held in captivity and the two form a special bond.

A new movie by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro always comes with high level of anticipation, and the director of the masterful 2006 Oscar winning fable "Pan's Labyrinth," here with "The Shape of Water" doesn't disappoint, as he has created a meticulously crafted, beautifully sensual and undeniably bewitching adult fairy tale of love, loneliness, loss and acceptance.

Starring Sally Hawkins as the mute janitor Elisa and Doug Jones as the Amphibian Creature, the outstanding cast also includes Michael Shannon as U.S. (Security Head) Colonel Strickland, Richard Jenkins her next door neighbour, Giles, Octavia Spencer as friend and coworker, Zelda, and Michael Stuhlbarg as the sympathetic scientistdouble agent, and they are all at the top of their game.

However, it is the extraordinary performance by Sally Hawkins as the mute janitor Elisa, and Doug Jones as the Amphibian Creature, under the intensely sensitive direction of Guillermo del T oro, and the metamorphosis of the relationship that casts it's ultimately haunting and heart-breaking spell.

Production design, period detail, set design, art direction, costume design, lighting, editing, pacing, breathtaking cinematography by Dan Lausten and music score by Alexandre Desplat are all exemplary!

Nominated for 13 Academy Awards, winning for Best Picture, Best Director, Production Design and Music Score, "The Shape of Water" is thrilling, touching, brutal, lyrical, poignant, quirky, unique and thought provoking, it touches, tingles and stimulates all the senses, and in doing so, has a heart and soul not only deeply embedded in the culture of the day, as well as today, but also a beautifully textured valentine to cinema itself.

FILM: BREATHE: Genre: Biography/Drama/Romance.

Cast: Andrew Garfield, Clare Foy, Hugh Bonneville, Tom Hollander.

Year: 2017.

Rating: M Length: 118 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Verdict: The story of Robin Cavendish, who is struck down by polio at the age of 28, and is confined to a hospital bed and given only a few months to live, however, with the help of his devoted wife Diana, her twin brothers and the groundbreaking ideas of a close family friend and inventor, they escape the hospital and seek out an extraordinary life together - raising their young son and devoting their lives to helping other polio patients.

First time director Andy Serkis has created a beautifully personal and heartfelt experience filled with humour, drama, warmth, compassion, tragedy and inspiration.

Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge, Silence) and Claire Foy (The Crown), give dedicated and compelling performances as Robin and Diana Cavendish, the two ordinary people thrust into a heart-breaking and life-changing situation, as do the wonderfully quirky Tom Hollander as her twin brothers, and Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Paddington) as close friend and inventor, Teddy Hall, who would invent the mobile wheelchair for the severely disabled, and along the way they would blend much humour throughout.

Beautifully filmed by regular Oliver Stone cinematographer, Robert Richardson (The Aviator, Hugo), this is one from the heart by all concerned, as their son, Jonathon Cavendish, would grow up to become a film producer, and this is his poignant and loving tribute to them. He also produced Bridget Jones's Diary.

FILM: THE COMMUTER: Genre: Action/Crime/Drama.

Cast: Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Sam Neill, Elizabeth McGovern.

Year: 2018.

Rating: M. Length: 104 Minutes .

Stars: ** Verdict: A businessman is caught up in a criminal conspiracy during his daily commute home.

Wildly over-the-top and implausible "B-Movie" good-guy, bad-guy sub-Hitchcockian popcorn action-thriller with an aging everyday man come hero has been told in similar potboilers a multitude of times before, only better.

Unlike the enjoyable Liam Neeson action vehicles "Taken" (2008) and "Non-Stop" (2014), he ambles through the motions of this incoherent and illogical plot here with the conviction, confusion and passion of a man who'd boarded a train and realized he not only had the wrong ticket, he was heading in the wrong direction.

Sadly short on much needed humour, and intelligence for that matter, the impressive supporting cast all do well under the circumstances, as our hero tries to solves a puzzle that unleashes a 'superman' by the film's end from our every-day train commuter.

Reflective of other crowd-pleasers as "Money Train" (1995), Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) and "Unstoppable" (2010), among others, the CGI driven action set pieces are admittedly quite exciting, however, you will need to suspend all belief and reality to fully enjoy this all too formulaic cliché ridden off-the-rails thriller that has 'guilty pleasure' stamped all over it ... only worthy as a late night addition to a Drive-In double feature.

Rourke’s Reviews My Friend Dahmer ■ (M). 106 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas May 31.

Anchored by an extraordinary central performance, and crafted in a way that doesn't exploit or sensationalise its subject matter, My Friend Dahmer manages to stand out from the seemingly never-ending stream of serial killer movies.

The film is set during Dahmer's last year of high school in the late 70's, and his gradual change from being morbidly obsessed with dead animals, to wanting to take that next step and hurt a human being.

During this time, he inadvertently becomes friends with fellow student John Beckderf (Alex Wolff).

Writer/director Marc Meyers isn't interested in gory details or serial killer cliches, instead he intelligently generates a growingly inevitable sense of dread, as we see a young outcast slowly open up to the darkness growing within him.

Those wanting overt horror and cheap thrills will be sorely disappointed.

RATING - ****

Gonjiam : Haunted Asylum ■ (M). 94 minutes. Opens at Cinema Nova May 31.

Though the formula employed is nothing new, this Blair Witch-style mockumentary is surprisingly good fun, maintaining a convincing atmosphere while delivering a couple of well-executed scares.

The story centres on a small group of young men and women who travel to a long-closed mental asylum, referred to as one of the seven freakiest places in the world to visit.

Fitted with multiple cameras, the group enter the creepy place, and proceed to get more than they bargained for.

Co-writer/director Jeong Bumsik (Epitaph) skilfully manages to raise proceedings above the familiar, and an unknown cast are all likeable, making the horror that follows tense and impactful.

RATING - ***½

Solo: A Star Wars Story ■ (M). 130 minutes. Now showing in cinemas everywhere, including IMAX and 3D. Charting the early years of renowned space smuggler Han Solo, this big budget extravaganza unfortunately fails to excite and involve, deciding instead to fly a safe, predictable course.

Alden Ehrenreich tries hard, but can't project the same kind of screen presence Harrison Ford did in the original trilogy, so it's hard to become interested in his story.

Faring better is Donald Glover, who steals the film as Lando Calrissian, while his droid partner, L3-37, offers up some major laughs.

Talented actors such as Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton and

Paul Bettany never really get a chance to shine.

Director Ron Howard manages to turn a wild ride into something bland and routine.

RATING - **½

Gringo ■ (MA). 111 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas May 31.

A comedy/thriller set south of the US border, Gringo proves to be a lifeless, derivative affair.

David Oyelowo (Selma) plays Harold Soyinka, whose life is turned upside down when he discovers his bosses Richard (Joel Edgerton) and Elaine (Charlize Theron) are selling their cashstrapped pharmaceutical company to a business rival.

Things take a turn for the worse when he travels to the company's lab in Mexico, where he becomes involved with drug cartels, assassins, and mercenaries.

There is nothing here you haven't seen before, but director Nash Edgerton takes forever to tell such a predictable story, telegraphing every twist long before they appear. Oyelowo does what he can with the sub-standard material.

RATING - **

Gauguin ■ (M). 101 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas May 31.

Well photographed but completely empty look at a specific period in the renowned painter's life, when he travelled to Tahiti in an attempt to re-energise his artistic spirit.

While there, he experiences a series of highs and lows. Vincent Cassel gives a physically convincing performance as Gauguin, but there is practically no insight into his obsessive, destructive behaviour, and darker elements of his life are glossed over.

Tuhei Adams offers a natural performance as Tehura, but like every character, and even the Tahitian culture the artist immerses himself in, is never adequately developed or explored, resulting in an unsatisfying viewing experience.

RATING - **

LBJ

■ (M). 91 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas May 31.

Yet another recent film that deals with a specific moment in US history (Selma and All The Way being the others), LBJ is easily the weakest, despite valiant work from Woody Harrelson as President Lyndon Johnson. Seeking to appease all political parties while trying to pass the late John F. Kennedy's civil rights bill into law, Johnson soon discovers that Washington has become a political minefield. Joey Hartstone's screenplay feels too compact, lacking scope and impact, while Rob Reiner's direction is woefully uninspired, turning the whole enterprise into a by-the-numbers TV movie. A sappy music score doesn't help, and the strong supporting cast are largely wasted.

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.

■ Davy Crockett became a craze that swept the world in 1955. Children wanted to be like Davy Crockett and wear a coon skin cap.

I remember seeing the Walt Disney feature film Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (which was a composite of three Disneyland television episodes) at the Esquire Theatre in Bourke Stand I thought Fess Parker and his offsider played by Buddy Ebsen were pretty cool.

Fess Elisha Parker Jr. was born at Fort Worth, Texas. in 1924 and grew up on a farm.

During the war years he served in the US Marine Corps. Fess graduated from university and moved to California to study drama.

He had minor roles in many films before being cast as Davy Crockett. Fess Parker was the first person to record the song The Ballad of Davy Crockett.

Unfortunately, by the time Walt Disney had organised his new record company to release it, there were already 16 versions of the song in the hit parades.

Bill Hayes and Tennessee Ernie Ford had the most popular recordings.

In the late 1950s Fess Parker starred in films such as Old Yeller and A light in the Forest.

He married Marcella Rinehart in 1960 and they had two children.

In 1964 Fess was cast in the television series Daniel Boone. He was worried about how the public would feel about him playing another

character acter, after being firmly established as Davy Crockett, but the show became a huge hit and ran for five years.

It was a very happy time and over the years Fess kept in touch with the other cast members.

Most Thursday evenings, Ed Ames, who played Mingo the Indian and was a member of the singing group The Ames Brothers, used to join Fess for a sing-along at the Parker's house.

In 1985 Fess visited Australia representing President Ronald Reagan at the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea. Fess Parker became a very successful businessman after a marvellous career in films and television.

In the seventies he went into real estate and

other business ventures. In 1989 Fess and his family opened The Fess Parker Family Winery and Vineyards at Los Olivos, California and owned two hotels in the Santa Barbara area.

I had the pleasure of talking to Fess Parker in a radio interview and I found him to be absolutely charming. There were some good ties with Australia. He told me that his daughter met her husband in Sydney whilst touring the Australian vineyards. His family winery modeled some of their products on the Australian Shiraz. Fess was a very good friend of the famous wine expert, the late Len Evans. Over the years Fess and his wife Marcella gave generous financial support to the local arts in Santa Barbara. I asked if there were any actors amongst his 11 grandchildren - he laughed and replied "I think they all are, unofficially!"

Sadly, Fess Parker passed away in 2010 of natural causes at the age of 84.

His family, friends and fans were devastated - he was dearly loved.

Great memories with Fess Parker, who we remember best as Davy Crockett - King of the wild frontier.

Talking about Tolly the Tabby

■ When English surrealist artist Richard Saunders used the wonders of Photoshop to recreate his beloved pet cat Tolly in topiary-like form in settings amid famous British lakesides, grand-houses, gardens and beaches, he was blown away with just how many people who saw those pictures took them to be real fair-dinkum works of topiary art.

“I’ve actually been somewhat bemused,” he says today, seven years after creating his first topiary image ofTolly.

“Because I did them for fun rather than any commercial purpose, and it’s been fascinating to see a simple idea metamorphosis into something of a now internet phenomenon.”

Such a phenomenon in fact that some of the images have been viewed up to 3.5 million times, and he’s been inundated with requests to create with Photoshop other peoples’ pets in topiary form set in their own or famous public gardens.

“But I have to say No,” he says, adding “I only do ones of Tolly who sadly passed away in 2016, and they’re to his memory.”

Each image can take up to three days to create on Photoshop as a topiary image of Tolly, a Russian Blue, and set in a vast range of well-known and identifiable locations.

And when countless viewers write or phone Richard asking where they can actually see his topiaries of Tolly, he says he has to explain to them, too, that they are not real topiaries and have been created on Photoshop, adding “and I explain all that because I would rather be known for my art, than my deception.”

To view Richard Saunders’ works of Tolly look up www.thetopiary cat.co.uk

Ice cream licked

■ We’ve recently got to wondering: will Australians ever put the third Sunday of July into their diaries – like in America, where the day’s been celebrated as National Ice Cream Day for over 30 years.

And it was by presidential decree, in 1984 ice-cream lovin’ President Ronald Reagan proclaiming July as National Ice Cream month, and it’s

OK. With John O’Keefe Beyonce put a value on it

● So life-like has Richard Saunders created images of his pet cat Tolly in topiary form using Photoshop, that many people have refused to believe that this image is not real.

20.8 litres per person, and Aussies third at 18 litres per head.

Which should be good enough reason for us all to put the third Sunday of July into our diaries for our own personal Ice Cream Day if industry or government won’t do anything about it to make it official.

And incidentally, as far back as 340BC Alexander the Great’s chefs mixed him snow, ice, honey and nectar as a summer cooler, Marco Polo in the late 13th century took home to Italy a Chinese recipe similar to what we now know as sherbert and which eventually evolved into Italian icecream, while in England “cream ice” was served to Charles I in the 17th century.

America’s first ice-cream was recorded in 1744 in a letter written by with David Ellis Maryland Governor, William Bladen, third Sunday as National Ice Cream while accounts show George WashDay. ington spent a whopping $200 on iceYet bizarrely, despite their size and cream during the steamy summer of their presidential decree Americans 1790, strawberry-infused ice-cream are not the world’s biggest consumers was served in The White House in per capita of ice cream… would you 1813 … and the first commercial icebelieve that title goers to tiny New creams hit America’s streets in the midZealand where the locals lick up 28.4 litres per person of the stuff annually… 1800s.

Struth

■ The streets are littered with stories of how showbiz identities have blown their fortunes. On the flip side there are those who are clever and know how to make their money make money.

One good example is Beyonce who purchased a disused church but in reasonable knick. Beyonce paid $ 850,000 for the church located in close proximinity to where her sister lives.

I'm a thinking an apartment block could be in the offing. Closer to home the Seekers group keep their investments in their home town.

Bruce Woodley was a member of a syndicate that sold an Elsternwick commercial building and the sale price exceeded expectations by over a $1 million. Nice one Bruce.

Emily is on the way yp

■ Rising up very smartly through the media ranks is Emily Power. Her day job is editor of the very well read Domain real estate glossy.

Of a Saturday she shares The Hour of Power with Darren James on 3AW, discussing buying and selling homes.

And in what little time she has left Emily has found time to author a self help book explaining hints on how to save for your first home. Well worth a read with lots of practical hints.

Sydney scene imploding

■ It's not worth spending any further ink to comment that the radio scene in the Harbour City resembles civil war. Egos at t10 paces and writs flying like frisbies. Even Alan Jones is in strife and may cost him big time.

Update for Wooz

■ If you intend booking to see the new season of The Wizard of Oz then be prepared for something different. Five new songs have been added as the producers have decided the original show needed an update and Melbourne was to be the launching pad .

Nice gesture

■ Matthew Newton first met Simon Gleeson as students at Xavier College.

Come time to enter the big wide world they both elected to continue with acting, but Simon was slow in filling out the necessary forms.

Matt took control of the situation, completed the forms, paid the fees and Simon was on his way to studying to be an actor at the highest level – thanks to Matthew Newton. And now Simon Gleeson is the headline act in the current production of Oklahoma.

The duo isassuring its audiences of something different each week.Tickets and enquiries at the Memo.Good Friday Appeal.

Pyrenees, Victoria's top cabernet region?

■ It's a huge call to make. In a state as rich in grapegrowing resources as Victoria - with regions such as the Yarra Valley, Heathcote, Geelong and the Grampians - Andrew Koerner, chief winemaker for Blue Pyrenees Estate, reckons that the central region of the Pyrenees is the pick of the state's regions for cabernet sauvignon, arguably the king of red-grape varieties.

"There is no doubt that the Pyrenees' growing-season weather pattern of warm days and cool nights lends itself to long, slow and even ripening of cabernet sauvignon grapes," he says.

"This ripening season often culminates in warm, dry March weather to finish off this ripening process, producing intensity of flavour without compromising elegance and subtlety."

I can only nod in agreement, but add that several other Victorian regions would claim the same, so the proof has to be in the drinking.

Last week I reviewed the superlative BPE 2012 Richardson Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. This was certainly one of the best cabernets I have had the pleasure to taste, but at about $120 it should be outstanding.

So what about something that Average Joe can afford. How does something like the standard BPE 2015 Cabernet reviewed this week stand up?

Very well indeed, though I'm still a bit reticent about recognising

150 Years of Local Press

Kinglake footy history traced to 1895 ■ Local historians usually start their story-telling about football in Kinglake around 1925.

Complete story-telling can go back 30 years earlier, when The Evelyn Observer local newspaper (May 24, 1895) recorded that “the first football match played at Kinglake took place last Saturday”.

Of the match between Kinglake and Queenstown, “the visitors arrived short-handed and minus a few of their best players and played one man less than the locals.

“Some generally good play was shown by both teams,” said the Observer.

“Kinglake had ... the best of the game all through, and won by four goals to two.

“Mounsey led the visitors, and J. Murphy captained the home team.

“Those who played best for Queenstown were Mounsey, W. Smith, J.N. Smith and W. Atkins; and for the winners, J. Murphy, McRaile, Alexander, and Drew.” ★ In June, 1906, the Kinglake correspondent for the Observer noted: “A football team has been started in this district and the players have entered into the sport with zest.

“The initial match was played at Kinglake West schoolgrounjd on Saturday last between teams chosen from East and West Kinglake.

“The East visitors won rather easily, scoring 7 goals 7 behinds to 3 goals 8 behinds.

“Mr Alex Campbell made an impartial and ‘deliberate’ umpire, and gave the players plenty of breathing spells.

“The game was played in a very friendly spirit and was thoroughly enjoyed.” ★ In the following year (1907), “great interest” was noted in thed football match between East and West local teams.

“Both sides were well represented, Ern. Woodfield being captain of the West team and Jack Murphy leading the Eastenders.

“The game, which was fast and at times lively, was interesting all through and towards the end the excitement was keen.

“At half-time the East led by 2 points, and eventually ran out winners by 4 points.

“The final scores were:Kinglake East, 5 goals 6 behinds, 36 points; Kinglake West, 4 goals, 8 behinds, 32 points.

“Mr McAuliffe umpired a fast and difficult game impartially, and was thanked at the close by both teams.

150 Years of Local Press ● From previous page “The second half of the program was given by the same performers with the addition of two comic songs by our old friend, Mr Morris (Steel’s Creek) who fairly brought down the house and had to respond with fresh items.

“A very enjoyable ball was held after the concert (which concluded by the singing of the National Anthem), the floor room bing taxed to its utmost.

“Mr James Alexander capably performed the duties of MC, and the committee provided an excellent supper.

“Everything passed off splendidly, and the Kinglake footballers are to be congratulated on their successful efforts on behalf of their unfortunate comnrade.

“In conclusion, however, I might add that it would be advantageous for our local concerts to start more punctually, and perhaps curtail somewhat lengthy concert programs wishing to dance getting home at a reasonable hour.

“I am sure the dancers will also be pleased to start operations earlier,” wrote the Observer’s Kinglake correspondent for the November 1, 1907, issue. ★ The next week’s issue registered that the concert “under tha auspicies of the Kinglake Football Club, realised £6 17s 6d. The expenses were £1 11s 10d, so that a sum of £5 6s 8d will be available for the injured player.” ★ The Evelyn Observer, in its June 5, 1908, issue, said: “The annual meeting of the Kinglake Football Club was held recently, when the following office bearers were elected: “Patron, Mr J.L. Beale; President, Mr Wm. MCAuliffe; Vice-Presidents, Cr A. Beale, Messrs W. Buchier and C. Exton; Match Committee, Messrs J. Murphy, Wm. Murphy and J.W. Alexander; Hon. Aec. Mr James W. Alexander.

“MrAlexander would be pleased to hear from club secretaries having ‘vacant’ Saturdays re arranging of matches with his club.” ★ The Evelyn Observer, in its March 26, 1908, issue, said: “At the annual meeting of the Kinglake Football Club held on the 17th inst., the secretary (Mr J.W. Alexander) asked that it be recorded in the minutes of the club their appreciation of the patronage and services rendered by Mr A.W. McAuliffe, who has lately, been transferred to Panton Hill State School.

“It was unanimously agreed to make a presentation to Mr and Mrs McAuliffe as a token of the esteem in which they are held by the Club.” ★ A Kinglake West v Kinglake East match summary was published in the local newspaper in its August 27, 1909, issue.

“This match was played at Kinglake East on Saturday, August 21.

“Among the Kinglake sporting fraternity , excitement was intense.

“The match to decide the premiership was to be played and both teams collected their best men.

“It is rather a coincidence that in the first match the West end won by 10 points, while, in the second match, the East end won by the same number of points.

“Although the West players had to tramp through 5 miles of mud, over a foot deep, they turned up in great force, and ran out easy winners.

● Kinglake Football team ‘circa 1950’.

Photo: Deidre Hawkins, Kinglake - A Pictorial History

White, McGibbon, Bell, Moss and Baker worked hard to avert defeat.

“The scores were: Kinglake, 6 goals, 9 behinds; Kangaroo Ground, 1 goal, 4 behinds.” ★ As well as teams for East and West, the September 24, 1909 edition of the Observer recorded details of a match between two teams representing Kinglake and Kinglake Central.

“Mr Jas.Alexander kindly acted as umpire, and a very fair game was played.

“The Exton boys (8), showed a good knowledge of the game and gained the victory for their side.

“Bert. Wright and Clarrie Murphy played a good game for the losing side.

“The scores were - Kinglake Central, 12 goals 8 behinds,Kinglake 8 goals 5 behinds.”

There are few local press reports from 1909 to 1925. about football from Kinglake teams.

Match with Yarra Glen

■ On Saturday afternoon, 17th inst., the members of the Kinglake Football Club journeyed to Yarra Glen to try conclusions with the local team.

Although the Kinglakers wereweakened by the absence of some of their regular players, the game was well contested and played in a most friendly spirit.

The final scores were :- Yarra Glen 5 goals 12 behinds (42 points) ; Kinglake 3 goals 3 behinds (21 points).

The best players for Yarra Glen were: Smedley, Raymond, Bickerton, Alberts, Salteau, Barfield and Ross; and for Kinglake, Cameron (2), Murphy (2), Bouchierand Alexander worked like trojans. Mr. E. Cary, who acted as central umpire, is to be congratulated for the very satisfactory manner in which he performed his duties.

At the conclusion of the match the visitors were hospitably treated by the committee of the local club.

Such games as these all tend to improve the standard of our great winter pastime, - Evelyn Observer. August 30, 1907

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT ■ The local East Central District Rifle Association Inc. team won the hard fought match against the Shepparton/Nathalia Maroon team last Saturday 888 points to 883 points.

The day was a beautiful winter’s day with clear light so the teams were glad that the notorious Violet Town wind was on a holiday.

After the first shots were fired it was quite clear that the benign conditions hid a very difficult wind to read.

David Black and Len Hayes from the Shepparton/Nathalia Maroon team shot brilliantly with both shooting a possible 150 points with David taking top score with 25 central bulls eyes against Len's 11.

David’s 25 centres means that only five of his scoring shots we not in the very centre of the target, brilliant shooting.

The feature of our local team’s score was its consistency with the team score all within four points.

Neal Hambridge had the hard luck story of the day at 500 yards, the first two stages of the match, he was on track to shoot a possible score only to find that his last shot was a perfect dead centre super centre on the wrong target.

Not once but twice, although it is not uncommon when the pressure of an important shoot is on for a shooter to place a shot on the wrong target but to do so with the very last shot of each stage is not at all common.

Neal made up for this with a possible 60.2 on the final stage. The ECDRA welcomed back Vaughan Murphy and his two 59’s showed that in his absence he has not lost his skill to keep his shots in the maximum scoring zone.

Marty Kelly and David Wallace were the only other ECDRA members to shoot possible stage scores of 60.

The final scores for the ECDRA were: Marty Kelly 175.13, Vaughan Murphy 175.11, David Wallace 174.7, Brian Houlihan 172.6, Terry

YEA LADY GOLFERS REPORT

● Adrianne Anglin, Karen Sangster and Di Elliott with the Alex Bowl ■ Yea Ladies Golf has had some exciting times over the past few weeks. Several girls travelled to Euroa on May 10 hoping to increase some player of the year points, alas no points but we did bring home nearest the pin won by Karen Sangster.

Next our pennant team continue the battle playing Alexandra on May 14 on their home turf loosing 4/1.

On Wednesday May 16 we held the Royal Women's Hospital 4BBB event - another tight day of competition victors Di Elliott and Karen Sangster 42 pts.

Hot on their heels, both on 41pts, had the battle for the runner-up position was team Adrianne Anglin and Captain Vicky Butler, team Vicki Clements and Margie Wright. Victors on a count back were Vicki and Margie.

Best of luck to Di Elliott and Karen Sangster for the next round we hope you get to go to the finals.

Now for the highlight. We were off to Alexandra on theMay 17 and we won their bowl!

Team Di Elliott, Adrianne Anglinand Karen Sangster won on a count back from Mansfield 94 pts. Last time we won the Alex bowl was 1994, 24 years ago. Go Yea! Pennant on Monday May 21 was played on our own turf and saw both Miranda Gill and Karen Sangster win their games but Marysville, the favourites for the competition, are still in a strong and comfortable lead winning 3/2. The last round "Pennant Monday" will be played at Seymour.

On Wednesday May 23, we played second round silver spoon and first round of the 36 Hole Stroke Mona McLeod Memorial.

On completion of the silver spoon rounds the winner will go on to play in Melbourne on one of their prestigious courses. Karen Sangster had a convincing four-point victory, winning both events from Vicki Clements on a count back from Laraine Callander 74 points.

KINGLAKE FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT NETBALL

D-Grade lost 8-27 Ladder position: 4th (based on percentage) Best: Lisa Sazonov For a young side Lakers didn't let the older Yea side get to them, as a rough contest took place.

Speaking to coach Taryn, she states "everyone committed to the game and had such high energy".

Danielle Moore and Lisa Sazonov controlled the defensive end and did their best to get some much needed turnovers to keep Lakers in the game.

Sarah Jensen had a ripper in the mid court as she continues to show great improvement each week.

Unfortunately our young goalers had their work cut out and did their best to convert every opportunity presented to them.

Not the result they were after but lots to be taken away from the game as the D girls continue to adjust to this new combination of players. ★ C-Grade Lost 13-40 Ladder position: 3rd (equal 1st based on percentage) Best: Patricia Turner The C girls came out firing this round wanting to continue on their winning streak.

Unfortunately the game proved that it wasn't going to be easy and Yea weren’t going down without a fight.

The defensive end including rotations between Amy T, Carly Fowlesand Danielleshowed great versatility whilst trying to close off Yea’s accurate shooting.

The mid court for Lakers ran hard all game trying to shut down Yea’s play and to prevent their attackers finding their position on the ring.

Mykaela Smith had amazing vision into the goalers whilst Errin White backed her up, when the rotation around the circle was needed.

Jac Jac Jacqui continued to hold her own whilst Yea continue to push and shove in any attempt to put her off her goals.

Speaking to coach Taryn, she states " CGrade will be focusing on coming back bigger and stronger in Round 6".

It might not of been C-Grade’s week but don't underestimate them. One bad game doesn't define a team. ★ B- Grade lost 27-54 Ladder position: 4th Best: Molly Rose McAllister With new recruits to Yea, the B girls knew that they would be coming up against a stronger Yea this season.

The girls came out hard and fast, however making unforced errors allowed Yea to get an early lead.

Molly came on in the 2nd quarter which opened up the attacking end for the goalers to find a little bit of rhythm.

Amy T stepped up this week to add some height in the defence circle to rotate with Chelsey-Maree Quilliam as they made every attempt to pick off Yea’s wasted passes.

KINGLAKE FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT Yea were too quick in their feed into the accurate shooters and although Caitlyn Hendrie and Stacey Norbury worked tirelessy to prevent this, Yea snuck away.

Sadly the game did not go Lakers way and we can graciously say it will be a different story next time. ★ A-Grade Won 51-49 Ladder position: 2nd (equal 1st based on percentage) Best: Casey Lee Coaches: Abbie Round 5 was the battle of the top position for A-Grade. After Yea playing 4 rounds of top quality netball with new recruits and cruising to easy wins, not only were Kinglake and Yea supporters waiting for this match up so was the entire Division 2 netball league.

This game was perfectly match up with both teams producing quality sides. Casey Barns and Caitlin Ryan tested Yea's shooters as Lakers kept them to only a three-goal lead at quartertime.

Our 2nd quarter saw Yea slip away to six as Monique Nagle and Fiona Olarenshaw made use in goals of every turn over we could produce.

At half-time with some fresh legs Taryn Jennings and Abbie Barns came into attack and shook up Yea as Lakers brought it back to a draw in the third.

Going into the 4th quarter the Lakers side lifted with positivity and team work. Bridget Waack and Latoya Wards controlled the mid court transition from defence into offence whilst Nakita Lastrina fed the goalers the balls right where they asked.

With one minute to go and both teams being even. the defence end made a stunning turn over which put us one in front.

With the final Centre pass being Kinglake’s, the game was all ours as we played with great accuracy to score the final goals to a well deserved two-point win.

Thankyou to all supporters, scorers and interchange players for a great round. Bring on Round 6 as we travelled to Powelltown.

FOOTBALL

RESERVES The Reserves had a disappointing day against a strong Yea reserves outfit.

The first quarter was quite a hard contest with lots of tackling and contested ball being won from both sides.

Yea made the most of the opportunities in the first quarter kicking 3 goals to 1.

Yea then came out firing in the second quarter, kicking six goals and keeping us to 0 goals.

To our credit in the second half we really fought it out and held our own.

Lots of encouraging signs from us but just need to be more consistent over four quarters.

Andy Griffiths and Ryan Hurst both played well in defence.

Yea 12.8 (80) d Kinglake 4.5 (29) SENIORS The day did not start well for us with having two players get injured in the first quarter.

This really put us on the back foot and Yea took advantage of this by kickingfive goals to one in the first.

The second quarter was a similar story with yea kicking four goals to our one.

We made a few changes after half-time which worked well and helped us put in a much more competitive effort in the second half still being outscored but kicking seven goals to Yea’s nine.

Full credit to Yea. Their spread was the best we have come across this year.

Proud of wthe ay we fought out the second half but same as Twos, we just need to be more consistent over four quarters.

Jayden Butterworth, Jake Orchard and Jack Hamilton all played great games.

- Ryan Hurst

YEA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT FOOTBALL SENIORS Yea 16.13 (109) defeated Kinglake 7.4 (46) After two consecutive losses, Yea bounced back with a strong performance at home, downing rival Kinglake by 63 points in glorious conditions to move to 3-2 for the season.

The interleague bye last week came at a good time for the Tigers, who were revitalised after the break and despite conceding the first goal of the match inside a minute, they slammed on five consecutive majors to take a 27-point buffer into quarter time.

A four-goal-to-one second term further solidified the host's control of the match, highlighted by pressure on the opposition and slick transition from defence, and extended the margin to 44 points at the main change.

The visitors lifted their intensity in the third quarter and outscored Yea to stem the flow and reduce the ascendancy to 40 points, but the result was sealed as the home side flexed their muscle late to run out comfortable victors.

Ryan Timmins (one goal) played his best game for the club with a tireless effort across half forward, Harrison Jarvie was outstanding in the midfield and Jack Salau showed great composure in the defence.

James Ryan was yet again rock solid in the back half and spread well away from the contest, while the goalkicking was evenly spread, with Chris Graham, Nathan Beattie, Lachie Beattie and Patrick Evans booting three apiece.

After playing a stagnant style of football against Seville in their last outing, the Tigers had a big focus and switching the ball and cutting back through the corridor, which they did to great effect.

The highlight of the day was a late goal to Julian Mahon in his 100th senior game.

Yea will travel to Yarra Glen for a big clash with the ladder leaders on Saturday.

Beattie. ★ RESERVES Yea 12.8 (80) defeated Kinglake 4.5 (29) Yea has moved to outright third on the ladder following a commanding win over Kinglake, cruising to a 51-point victory at the Recreation Reserve.

The Tigers started well but the visitors were up for the fight early and after a reasonably close opening term, the home side had pushed ahead by 13 points.

The second quarter from Yea was among their best for the season, piling on six straight goals and restricting the Lakers to just two behinds, essentially ending the contest by half time.

Though Kinglake added three goals-to-two in the final term, it was a dour second half overall, epitomised by a third quarter that saw just one major between the two teams.

Jaryed Garlick and Jordy Harry, both returning from a stint in the seniors, were excellent and gathered the ball at will, well supported

by Andrew Chisholm though the middle of the ground.

Ben Wilsmore and Josh Keyte slotted three goals each, Nicholas Charles chipped in with two of his own and Lachie White held sway down back, while Darcy Pell did a power of work in the ruck.

The Tigers will face a tough assignment against top-of-the-table Yarra Glen this week.

This team is improving consistently throughout the season, and we look forward to the continued efforts all of these women have brought to the table this year. A Grade Bonettes 23 - 44 ★ Thornton B-Grade again brought their best to the court to play Gembrook-Cockatoo BGrade.

Without looking at the scoreboard, this match proved once more the tenacity and team-click of Thornton B-Grade.

Gembrook's attackers were met with some of the strongest defence our Thornton women have brought to the table yet this season, with tonnes of intercepts, rebounds and general persistence our Thornton teams are known for.

Our goal defenders are improving immensely week after week, and the midcourt is forcing the pressure up also. Watch this team for continual improvement until the end of the season, these women will stop at nothing!

B-Grade Bonettes 2-63 -Jess Slapp ★ The women’s team travelled to Ringwood for a 10am start to play against Ringwood who kicked over 150 points the week before.

With only 15 girls who took the field due to injury this week and the sun shining the girls were very much enthusiastic for the game ahead.

With an early goal in the first quarter it was all positive steps going forward, with the girls encouraging each other for more effort which showed throughout the ground and smiles all round going in only a few goals down at ¼-time.

The second quarter was much the same with Ringwood getting the game moving and a small forward creating havoc for tefnc which was a learning curve for our defence playing on quick small forward Third quarter was again pleasing our ruck and on ballers had done a big job so far and again the team were rewarded with another goal and a high five all round.

Unfortunately some injuries were sustained but were able to continue on throughout the game.

With the last quarter underway, the game was out of reach for the girls today but this did not stop the effort.

The girls were hungry for more goals and kept working hard.

Some simple game rules and movement of players on the game board formed in the last quarter and it didn't take long and the team got their third goal for the game, while still looking for more and out played Ringwood in the last to finish off the game with great confidence leading into the coming weeks Full credit to Ringwood and their staff who made us feel very welcome and to their coach who spoke with our girls after the match and commended them on their effort and to stick with it going forward.

Also special thanks to Lisa, our dedicated trainer who travelled to Ringwood then back to Gembrook for our senior teams.

Also thankyou to Levi our goal umpire and nick our time keeper on the day.

- Dave.

Again this weekend, score board wise was a tricky one again for the football club overall.

The positives taken away from each game far outweighs this, not to mention the persistence, hunger and courage to dig deep each week especially if the chips are down.

That is what makes Thornton an inspiring club, however with a positive outlook games are going to come together and the score board is going to start reflecting a shift in morale.

It is already seen this year with heads held high on both the footy field and netball courts.

Go Boners!

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT SATURDAY

■ The AFL Yarra Ranges League Round 5 of the 2018 season saw the Rebels senior football and netball teams travel to Seville whilst the Under 18s team journeyed to Wandin with a full complement of players including three Under 16 boys giving the team a bench.

A goal each in the first quarter showed the crowd that there was little between the teams with the Rebels kicking three goals to two in the second quarter giving the visitors a narrow two point lead at half time.

Wandin hit their straps in the third quarter kicking three goals from six scoring shots whilst the Rebels added the one goal, Wandin leading by 13 points at the last change.

Wandin kicked the first goal of the last quarter to extend their lead but the Rebels dug deep and kicked the next four goals to lead by eight points at the final siren, 9.8 (62) to 7.12 (54), the boys lifting the roof in the change rooms when singing the song.

Awards: Bundalaguah Engineering award Aaron McDonald, Hadfield Contractors award - Jordan Laurie-Rhodes, Alexandra Tyrepower award - Hayden Gilmore, RPT Plastering award - Drew Kaempkes, DMK Taxation award Willem Woolford, Alexandra Apparel award Darcy Rouget, Daniel Roper award - Zach Pedlar.

RESERVES After a three week break, the Rebels travelled to Seville for two games of football and four games of netball on a beautiful, late autumn day, the ground in good condition if one disregards the ups and downs.

The Reserves had a patched up side and began well to the downhill end and actually led at the first change but the home side had the better of the second term with three goals to one to lead by ten points at the main break.

Alexandra reduced the margin to a solitary point at three-quarter time with a determined effort in the third quarter and the game was there for the taking but the home side took control of the game in the last and using the ground better kicked five goals to one in the last to win comfortably 11.9 (75) to Alex 7.6 (48).

Luke Heard and Jedd Hamill were the major goalkickers with Corey Jack, James Kidd and Max Church just ahead of a few younger players as Alexandra's best.

SENIORS The Seniors football side were also missing some regular players and kicked to the uphill Warburton Highway end and began by getting the ball to Jack Goonan via Brayden Norris but only a behind resulted.

Seville attacked repeatedly but fortunately for Alex was offline. Although early in the game, Jacob Brereton took a spectacular mark which turned out to be "mark of the day".

The game was very scrambly with many ball-ups as the umpires were unable to pick out a holding the ball decision, Seville's first goal coming half way through the quarter as they finally found the middle, although the next goal only took minutes.

Alex got forward and although Norris failed to take the mark he recovered quickly and kicked the Rebels first goal.

Steve Steiner broke through the congestion and found Lee Ragg who converted accurately.

Seville kicked the next goal from a long way out and another from closer in but Alex came back with an after the siren goal to Ben Cooper to keep Alex in touch at quarter time.

Alex were confident at the break that they could do well down hill favored by a slight breeze and new player Joe Daniel had a chance for the Rebels early but his shot bounced wide.

Seville scored the first goal of the second

quarter and kept the Alex defence under pressure. Steve Steiner and Norris had chances but were both offline.

Daniel Rouget saved a certain Seville goal with a great smother but the Blues came again and key forward O'Keefe made no mistake as he was causing the Alex defence real problems.

The home side was now teaming well with players out the back to receive the hand-pass, Chris McKay kicked a much needed goal but Seville continued their dominant play and went to a big lead at the main break.

Alexandra was late on to the ground to start the third quarter but the home side continued to get the ball to O'Keefe who kicked all of his side's four third quarter goals.

Brereton continued to jump high in the ruck but the Blues were reading his work well.

Ben Cooper and Steve Steiner were strong in the many contests and Conor Heaslip and Will Goonan tried hard to stem the tide in defence.

The last quarter began with Alex handicapped by a couple of injuries and players had to work extra hard with fewer rotations off the bench.

O'Keefe continued his dominance and kicked his seventh consecutive goal as Alexandra continued their effort which could not be questioned.

Ragg goaled for the Rebels but often when Alex went forward with a pressured kick out of defence it was to a one on three or to a lone Seville backman.

Jack Goonan marked strongly up forward and the back-man kicked one of his infrequent goals to give the Rebels score some respectability.

The Alex defence had done reasonably well to restrict the home side to eight second half goals but could not go forward with any authority or system.

Nathan O'Keefe's game (12 goals) was one of the most dominant individual games I have witnessed against the Rebels for many years.

Seville 19.18 (132) to Alexandra 6.10 (46) Best players included Jacob Brereton who won most ruck contests and was one of the few to challenge Seville in the air, Steve Steiner and Ben Cooper worked hard in the many ball-ups whilst Conor Heaslip and Ben Woollard won many possessions.

Raymond Hewitt or ‘Jersey’ as he was commonly known, played 245 games for the Rebels starting in 1971 and finishing in 1989 in three different competitions.

Big Jersey was a fine ruckman who also loved to sneak forward and kick a goal, although not the most reliable of kicks.

Jersey could do the unexpected at any time and was famous for his "look away handballs" that not only confused his opponents but also his team-mates.

The AFNC extends to the Hewitt family, whom many have been great contributors to our Club, our sincere condolences.

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.
