BIG TEST FOR CEO, CRS Joint statement from the Trustees of the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta and the Murrindindi Shire Council
■ “As leading community organisations with a shared interest in a strong future for Kellock Lodge, we have come together to work co-operatively to find the best solution to the divisive debate about this loved and valued community facility. “We are heartened by the strong show of community support for Kellock Lodge. “This underlines how treasured Kellock Lodge is and how important it is to preserve and strengthen its role in providing care, support, employment and pride for the local community. “In good faith, the Trustees of the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta, as the Approved Provider for Kellock Lodge, put forward a proposal to create a single incorporated association and single board of directors to oversee both of its homes, Kellock Lodge in Alexandra and St John’s Village in Wangaratta. “This proposal is intended to achieve a stronger and more sustainable Kellock Lodge. “However, it may not be the only way to achieve these desired outcomes. “We believe that with goodwill and with consideration of the best interests of the community members who rely on Kellock Lodge, other options may emerge. “Therefore, Bishop John Parkes has agreed to postpone a planned special general meeting of the members of the Kellock Lodge Inc and St John’s Village Inc, which had been called to consider the merger proposal on July 18. “Bishop Parkes has deferred the meeting for one month. “This extra time will allow for further conversations to take place with a view to finding a solution that is acceptable to the community of Alexandra, as well at the members of Kellock Lodge Alexandra Inc and the Trustees of the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta as the Approved Provider. “The Shire Council and the Anglican Church have a long history of working cooperatively with the community to develop and strengthen Kellock Lodge. “This goes back to Kellock Lodge’s inception in the early 1980s, when the Shire provided seed funding and the Rector of St John’sAnglican ChurchAlexandra, the Reverend George Nunan, became one of several major initiators of the project to develop a local aged care home. “Guided by this history of co-operation and the passionate interest the community continues to show in retaining high-quality, local aged care, we believe a solution can be found. “Together we ask for community patience and forbearance as we strive to find the best way to deliver the strong and sustainable future that we all seek for Kellock Lodge,” the statement concluded.
■ MURRINDINDI Shire Council has inserted itself as a key player in the dispute over the future of Kellock Lodge residential aged care facility at Alexandra. This follows last month’s public meeting where more than 370 people voted to reject Anglican Bishop John Parkes’s bid to merge Kellock Lodge with St John’s Village, Wangaratta.
Council calls for public to hold fire on Kellock Lodge
The Council is now seeking to mediate a solution that is to the satisfaction of local people, but also addresses the concerns of the Bishop and the split 5-3 Board of Directors at Kellock Lodge. Murrindindi Shire Council has met with Bishop Parkes, who has agreed to a temporary one-month postponement for a meeting for Kellock Lodge and St John’s Village members. Chief Executive Officer Craig Lloyd, and Councillors, are risking ongoing credibility with the public if they fail to deliver a solution that meets with the expectations of the community. Mr Lloyd first asked for public calm, after chairing the public meeting on Friday, June 22. The Kellock Lodge issue has been the subject of ABC Radio Melbourne attention with morning presenter Jon Faine discussing the matter on air with Maurie Pawsey (Tuesday), Craig Lloyd (Wednesday), and a letter from Bishop John Parkes (Thursday). “Thank you Jon Faine and ABC for the opportunity to discuss Kellock Lodge,” said Mr Lloyd in a social media post last week. “Council is working with the Wangaratta Diosese and representatives of the Alexandra community and will keep our community informed as discussions progress,” Mr Lloyd said. At last Wednesday’s Council meeting, Mr Lloyd reported: “It is clear that our community is passionate about Kellock Lodge with 378 community members attending. “The connection to Kellock Lodge and the concerns over its future were recognised by the passing of two motions. “Council continues to work with all parties to ensure community concerns are addressed, high quality care is maintained, and that Kellock Lodge is preserved for the Alexandra and Murrindindi Shire communities,” Mr Lloyd said.
● Craig Lloyd, Murrindindi Shire Chief Executive Officer, with Cr Charlie Bissett, Mayor, at the Kellock Lodge public meeting at Alexandra. Cr Eric Lording said on Facebook that he had addressed questions directly to the Bishop. “Face to face with the Bishop yesterday I first asked three questions. ■ “Can you guarantee that the residents bonds are secure?” Answer Yes unequivically. ■ “Can you guarantee continuing the present level of care?” Answer: Yes. ■ Are you intending to sell the Kellock Lodge and/or St Johns (Wang) ?”Answer: No. “Also during the discussion the Bishop advised that the EBA would remain as is. So pay levels and staffing will remain the same. “When asked if the local management will have the authority to handle emergencies, he said the delegation levels will remain the same, only having to go to the boards when delegations are exceeded which is the same as now.” Cr Lording said it was a spirited meeting with many aspects covered. Both the Bishop of Wangaratta and the Archbishop of Melbourne have received a torrent of communications from members of the Alexandra community. Both churchmen have enlisted professional communications consultants. Bishop Parkes is still yet to return a June 22 phone call from The Local Paper.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
‘Disgust and disappointment’ Sir, I feel compelled to voice my disgust and disappointment at the situation Kellock Lodge is now having to deal with. Back in 1984 I was involved in fundraising for community donations so we could lay the foundations for what has, since that day, grown to be such a wonderful asset for our community and the Shire. Taggerty residents were asked for their support, so four Mums took on the challenge, Linda Bunn, Margot Southam, Lyn Featherstone and myself. For six months we collected and stockpiled everything imaginable, donations of seconds from Melbourne factories, any junk and bric-a-brac, furniture, we had cake,clothing, plant and stalls of every description culminating in a continuous twoday auction and selling frenzy at the Taggerty Hall and Fire Shed. How well I remember Jenny Robinson baking 30-odd passionfruit sponges. We raised approx. $3000 which in '84 was a great amount. The late Cr. Kath Cooper who embraced the original plans for Kellock Lodge regarded us as "4 Miracle Mums" for our efforts. Since that time our whole community has maintained that sort of enthusiasm for Kellock - after all - KELLOCK IS OURS. Here and now one must really ask why the Bishop and certain Board members have created the current situation. No doubt there must have been discussions and meetings between these five people behind the scenes, excluding some of the Board members, staff and residents. Obviously this group of people have no allegiance to our community. What have they been promised by the Bishop? There are many questions to be asked about this behaviour by the Bishop and his followers, threatening the future of our wonderful institution, Kellock Lodge. Anne Sharrock, Maroondah Hwy, Taggerty

Winter planting at Leckie Park
Local People Elaine White retires
■ The Rotary Club of Alexandra last week completed the first stage of a major tree planting project in Leckie Park . The conditions of fog, moist soil and temperature of 1° celsius were ideal for tree planting but certainly not for the Rotarians and the staff from the Murrindindi Shire who were well rugged up against the cold. The idea of the project began when a large number of trees in Leckie Park were either killed or severely damaged by the millennium drought that ended in 2010. In July last year the President of Rotary International, Ian Riseley, issued a challenge to all Rotarians to plant a tree. More than 1.2 million trees was the target, and the 12 advanced seedlings planted in Leckie Park will ensure this target is achieved. Rotary in collaboration with Murrindindi Shire Council and the Alexandra Open Garden Committee. Locations of the trees were selected to ensure that they would be fit for purpose, be consistent with the UT Creek management plan and to ensure that the easy maintenance of the park is not compromised. Rotary approached Specialty Trees, near Benalla, for the advanced seedling. The company provided the trees at a good price, and delivered them free of charge to the site ready for planting. These advanced seedlings will ensure that they will survive the normal park use and become well established quickly. Each tree was well watered in and then given its own water supply to ensure that each tree gets off to the best possible start through the first couple of summers and thrives. The Murrindindi Shire provided the digger anda team of strong men to manhandle these trees into the holes. These 12 trees are just the start of the project that will continue into the future as funds permit to ensure all dead and badly damaged trees are replaced and Leckie Park continues to be an outstanding place for rest and play.
● Elaine White ■ After 47 years of service, Elaine White has retired from Murrindindi Shire Council's Yea Library and Customer Service Centre. Her retirement officially took place on Saturday (June 30). Elaine was born and raised in Yea and left home at 18 to join the Women's Royal Australian Air Force (WRAAF) where she trained as a technical librarian. In 1970, she returned to Yea and took up the position with, what was then, the Shire of Yea Library. Almost half-a-century later, Elaine said she has loved every moment of being a librarian and she would miss chatting with the people who came in for their books and the library's events. "You get to know the people that come in here really well - you hear about the things that happen in their lives and about their families - and I'm going to miss those wonderful relationships," Elaine said. "I have loved getting to know what different borrowers enjoy reading and have often put books that I came across aside for people I thought might especially enjoy them. “I think people liked knowing I was thinking about them and took notice of what they enjoyed. "I've got plenty of things planned for my retirement, including catching up on my reading, volunteering at the Friends of the Library bookshop in Yea and paying some more attention to my garden," Elaine added. Murrindindi Shire Council General Manager Corporate and Community Services, Michael Chesworth, said in addition to her work with Council, Elaine has been a strong advocate for the Yea and District community in many other ways. "Elaine's involvement in the community has included the Yea Historical Society, the Friends of the Yea Railway, Yea Showgrounds and Recreation Reserve Committee, Rotary Club of Yea, and her work for the Yea Chronicle - to name a few. “Her contribution to the community of Yea has been significant and I have no doubt that will continue after she finishes up in her formal role. "From all of us here at Council, we have appreciated Elaine's contribution and we wish her the very best in her retirement," Mr Chesworth said. - Contributed

Green Wedge warning ■ Emeritus Professor, Environment and Planning, RMIT University, Michael Buxton this week issued a warning that some of Victoria's most important environmental assets in the Green Wedge zones around Melbourne will face increasing development pressures. Professor Buxton said "Greater Melbourne's population explosion highlighted the strategic value of the decisions taken in the 1960s to create the Green Wedges and also the importance of bipartisan support for strengthening long term planning controls. "Although Green Wedges are set aside as non-urban land through the Planning Scheme, Green Wedges are subject to intense pressures for urban development and change. "These competing pressures can range from urban development, hobby farms, tourism, intensive agriculture, and infrastructure as Green Wedge areas through design are close to the metropolitan areas of Melbourne. "The Green Wedge zones are increasingly being recognised as vital areas for their major contribution to community health and wellbeing as
● Professor Michael Buxton development pressures dramatically increase living densities in residential areas by abolishing local planning laws.” Prof. Buxton was speaking at the Mornington Peninsula Green Wedge Summit. "In the case of Greater Melbourne and Victoria, the Mornington Peninsula Green Wedge is a major health, agriculture, tourism and employment asset."
Professor Buxton said last year the Victorian Government without any notice, changed the planning regulations in the Mornington Peninsula Shire to allow 24,000 housing sites (25 per cent of housing within the Mornington Peninsula Shire) the automatic right to build new or renovate existing homes into three storey McMansion style homes throughout low scale developed townships and coastal villages. "This is a repeat of the same current Victorian Government Ministry of Planning height strategy in suburban Melbourne that has led to a major surge in large oversized housing taking up all of the housing allotment and dwarfing the neighbours. "This ultimately sees the disappearance of trees in urban areas and loss of neighbourhood environment and amenity.” Professor Buxton said all Councils with Green Wedge areas should be prepared for extra development pressure in the future and it is vital to have strong local community support to ensure the environmental integrity for future generations.
Free green waste program ■ Murrindindi Shire Councillors last week voted for the 2018-19 Budget initiative of its new free green waste program. Cr Eric Lording said residents will now be able to dispose of their green waste at any of the Shire's five Resource Recovery Centres free of charge. The policy came into effect on Sunday (July 1). "Council will be accepting domestic quantities of grass clippings, leaves, garden trimmings, branches and tree trunks at all of its Resource Recovery Centres," Cr Lording said. "To be accepted for free, green waste must not be mixed up with other materials. “Branches and tree trunks must be no longer than 1.5 metres in length and be less than 25 centimetres in diameter. Branches and stumps larger than this will continue to incur a fee. "When dropping off green waste, residents will need to bring along evidence they live in
Murrindindi Shire. “This could be their rates notice, rates token or photo ID with their Murrindindi Shire residential address on it. "In order for this program to be available to all residents of Murrindindi Shire, charges for commercial volumes of green waste or green waste from businesses will continue to apply. The rate will remain the same as last year. "Council is really committed to protecting and preserving our environment here in Murrindindi Shire. “This free green waste program is about more than just creating a cost-saving opportunity for residents, it's a chance to reduce smoke pollution and increase the amount of material being reused. “These are important factors for sustainable environmental management," Cr Lording said. www.murrindindi.vic.gov.au/waste

Previous winner, Victoria’s best local reporter
● Cr Leigh Duscombe ■ Cr Leigh Dunscombe spoke at last week’s Council meeting about Murrindindi Shire delivering a balanced budget for the 2018-19 year. “It represents the culmination of hundreds of hours of consultation and preparation,” Cr Dunscombe said. “I would like to thank all those involved, especially those community members and groups who provided their input and submissions for consideration and guidance. “While we were not able to incorporate everything that everybody would like in this year’s budget we have been able to accommodate many of them and reserve others for future consideration.” Cr Dunscombe said the three main principles were sound financial management, equity and the aspirations of the community. Cr Dunscombe said that Murrindindi had one of the “lowest rate increases in the state”. Cr Dusncombe pointed towards $8 million o0f capital works, $280,00 for business innovation and tourism, free green waste disposal, no new debt, and “absolute debt below $1 million within the year”. He said there was a real possibility that some grant funding would arrive before June 30, and that it would be included in the 2017-18 budget, not the following year. “It would have no real effect on Council finances, however it would change the headline budget figure for both this current financial year (by implying a surplus) and the next financial year (by implying a deficit of an equivalent amount). They balance each other out and hence no real effect on finances just headlines,” Cr Dunscombe said.

■ “A revolutionary new satellite system” was installed at Yea’s Country Club Hotel, we breathlessly reported 30 years ago. The newspaper told of a four-metre-wide receiving dish designed to take signals from Aussat I and II, so patrons could view live VFL game broadcasts. The satellite service was probably aimed at remote Western Australian, South Australian and Northern Territory viewers. Hotel nominee Greg Graham said the satellite could also be adjusted to receive signals from the NBC, CBS and American ABC networks.
Newsman honour ■ Murrindindi newsman Don Brown was named as B&T Magazine’s ‘Executive of the Year’ in the annual suburban newspaper awards. The award was presented at the Australian Suburban Newspapers’Association annual dinner.
1885 flashback ■ Thirty years ago (198), we uncovered mint-condition copies of The Yea Telegraph from 1885. Amongst advertisers were J.W. Cairns of the Caledonian Stores (who employed E.S. Purcell); saddler J. Veitch; auctioneer E. Smith; Commercial Hotel proprietors Oliver and Rattray; Caledonian Hotel licensee Curthew Sanders; horse breeder John G. Purvis; blacksmith R. Coles; and carrier James Buckland. There was 1885 editorial indignation at the removal of the Porter-in-Charge at the Homewood Railway Station. The Rev. D. Milne was about to be inducted to the pastorate of the Yea Presbyterian Church. The Yea Telegraph was assumed to be in the Station St premises formerly occupied by draper and grocer James Walker. The property, in Walker’s estate, was being handed over by E.S. Purcell. An impromptu gathering in the press room of The Yea Telegraph - with “numerous bottles of champagne” - was held at 11pm on Wednesday, October 21, 1885, attended by Messrs Purcell, Sanders, E. Smith, Daley, Oliver, Purvis and Quinlan. The paper was run by Cramer, Hickey and Co. Mr Sanders souvenired the first copy of the paper.

Factory approval
■ The Yea Butter Factory renewal proposed by Ron Litjens has been approved by Murrindindi Shire Council. Cr Margaret Rae said the purpose of the application was to allow the site at 13 Rattray St to be developed and used as a place of assembly. "The building and land are protected under a Heritage Overlay in the Murrindindi Planning Scheme. Council sought the advice of a heritage consultant who endorsed the proposed works," Cr Rae said. "The planned modifications to the building and the site, such as the development of onsite parking, are to facilitate its use for events such as theatre productions, wellness classes, conferences, functions and concerts. "These kind of events have the potential to provide a positive benefit to the community and increase tourism opportunities for the area. "Council did receive an objection to the proposal from a nearby landowner worried about the proposed hours of operation, traffic and amenity impacts. "But after Council Officers sought clarification about proposed uses, we were satisfied the applicant's requests were reasonable, consistent with the Murrindindi Planning Scheme and would not negatively affect neighbouring properties. "So Council agreed to issue a Notice of Decision to grant a planning permit as requested by the applicant. This means the objector will have 21 days to apply to VCAT for a review of Council's decision. If no appeal is lodged, a planning permit will be issued," Cr Rae said.

■ Indi MHR Cathy McGowan says voluntary voting for 16- and 17-year-olds would boost young people’s participation in politics. The Commonwealth Electoral Amendment (Lowering Voting Age and Increasing Voter Participation) Bill was introduced to the Senate last week and proposes to allow 16and 17-year-old Australian citizens to voluntarily vote in federal and state elections. The Bill also includes amendments to allow Australians who are eligible to vote to enrol or update their details on polling days. Ms McGowan is following the Bill closely and encouraged people to contact her office with their opinions.
Rosey recognised
Mulqueeny Lane
■ Murrindindi Shire Council last week voted against supporting a request to amend the Section 173 Agreement which prohibits Mulqueeny Lane residents in Yea from having direct access to the Yea Racecourse and Recreation Reserve. Residents were seeking to have the restriction on their land titles removed. Cr Margaret Rae said Council made this decision because the safety measures that guided the original agreement were still necessary. "Mulqueeny Lane shares a boundary on its west side with the Yea Racecourse and Recreation Reserve. If people have private access to the Reserve from their backyards, security around racing horses and the wastewater being used for irrigation can't be maintained," Cr Rae said. "In the lead up to Council's decision, the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning and Country Racing Victoria both advised Council they did not' support the proposed changes. “The Yea Racecourse and Recreation Reserve Committee of Management was unable to provide support for unsecured access to the Reserve as well. "Council needs to listen and take seriously the views of these agencies. "Council is aware that a number of residents have, over the years, installed gates in contravention of the Agreement. Council officers will be writing to all Mulqueeny Lane residents to advise them of Council's decision and will request any residents with gates to remove them and reinstate fencing. It is important that this be done before the racing season starts,” Cr Rae said.

Kellock Lodge A’bishop’s letter
■ Anglican Archbishop Philip Freier’s office has sent this letter to a number of local people who have approached him about issues at Kellock Lodge, Alexandra: “I am replying to you on behalf of the Archbishop. “Thank you for your email about Kellock Lodge in Alexandra. “The Archbishop is away from Melbourne at the present time but is aware of the sincerity of distress amongst members of the Alexandra community at this time. “He also is aware that the Diocese of Wangaratta is the responsible entity for Kellock Lodge under the prevailing legal and aged care approval structures. “Despite having no role in operational decisions within the Diocese of Wangaratta, the Archbishop has offered to assist in bringing together the different sides of this dispute if that is desired and can be achieved with good faith. “He is concerned most of all for the welfare of the residents of Kellock Lodge. “You may be aware that the Diocese of Melbourne does not operate any aged care facilities itself. “What was called the Anglican Aged Care Services (founded in 1948) now operates under the name Benetas. “It is a separately incorporated entity from the diocese. “Benetas has recently announced its amalgamation with Macedon Ranges Health, an example of the consolidation that is happening in the sector. “While you feel a lot of dissatisfaction about what is happening at Kellock Lodge, consolidation is a co0mmon theme in the community aged care residential sector in order to provide appropriate levels of care for aged people. - Ken Hutton, Executive Officer, Archbishop of Melbourne, Anglican Diocese of Melbourne.”

Alex. card party
■ The Hospital Auxiliary held a very enjoyable card afternoon last Monday. The bridge was won by Miss Embling, and crazy whist by Mrs. A. Christie. A competition (pr. fowls) was won by Mrs. Lond. The effort returned £1 profit.
Highlands news
■ Since the breaking of the drought in April, eight inches of rain have fallen. Last week 129 points were registered. The ground is well soaked, which should assure a good season. Crops are doing well and lambing will soon be in full swing. The districts experienced a heavy fall of snow on Sunday night (the 19th). It lay on the ground nearly all day Monday. Messrs. Elgin Rose & Co. held a sale last Monday. Owing to weather conditions the yarding was not as large as was anticipated.
Yarrambat social
■ The committee has begun, after a lapse of nine months through the ban, their fortnightly socials. The first was greatly enjoyed. Mesrs J. Sexton (piano) and R. Kemp (violin) supplied excellent music. Mr. Allen was in charge.
Doreen losses
■ Farmers are still reporting the loss of sheep which have been worrile- by dogs. Amongst the latest are Messrs L.W. Clarke,. T. A. Smith and Gordon Creighton. Mr. Creighton was the heaviest loser with 14 sheep.
Yan Yean letter
■ Re the work on the road leading to Yan Yean Reservoir, I would ask why so much bustle and activity? Surely the council has not tied the contractor down to time. It is only slightly over 12 months since the bridge collapsed, and Mr. R. R. Kerr and his men having repaired that, very little inconvenience has been caused. Provided the council has the road opened in time for the Christmas traffic everyone should be thoroughly satisfied. - S. Arcasm

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.

The Whittlesea Story: Part 13
Sir William Clarke takes local interests Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea. From ‘The Plenty’ by J.W. Payne, 1975. ■ Skinner’s concern for Agnes, in such a locality takes up his thoughts on March 5, 1868, and June 8, 1868. “I have philosophy enough for myself but not for my daughter. I cannot bear to see her with her physical and mental energies adapted for a useful and respectable life, pining in this dull seclusion “For Agnes sake I regret the sameness but it seems the only locality for me. Here we are respected though badly paid - in another situation we might not be either.” On the carriage of the law, he remarks on January 28, 1869: “This morning all Merriang is in a ferment of excitement about a trial (a cross action) between F. Kenny and Sandercrook. “They are all off (10am) to Donnybrook prepared to swear black white or anything else that occasion may require. “Of course both parties must get drunk, the one in token of triumph, the other by way of consolation in defeat. “’Tis all about a few shillings. 4pm. The litigants are just returning. Kenny (the mean scamp) totally defeated. A coach journey he describes on March 29, 1869: “Easter Holiday. Up about 5am and soon got ready. Dear Aggy got coffee, etc., and with her assistance I was ready for the coach at 6.30. “Had a pleasant journey till we got to the Junction (of the Epping and Plenty Roads at Thornbury) where we had to get into the Whittlesea coach, ours being broken and dangerous as usual. 18 persons and 3 babies inside and thefull number out. All nearly crushed and fainting. Heat terrific.” Dancing at the Merriang Hotel: “For some time past, Agnes, Kitty McDonald and Mrs Davies have been preparing dresses (oh so smart) for a grand ball at (April 2, 869) Mr Devines. “Agnes has been helping Mrs Devine in preparing the supper, etc. “They are just dressed to start, all looking to start, all looking very gay and becomingly dressed for such an occasion.” His entry for April 3, 1869, shows him to be an understanding father. “They kept it up at Devines till 5am, when Agnes came home. About 40 or 50 present. Agnes seemed to have enjoyed herself.” His shrewd observations of his successor are noted on February 13, 1870. “Mr Henry the new teacher. Mr Newcomen introduced me to Mr Henry. He is a Member of Trinity College, Dublin, and took honours under the Education Board. He has had no school of three years past, has been subsisting on private tuition. “Looks languid and dissipated, negligent of his personal appearance. Has 4 children. He will never do for this place.” His prediction was correct. Henry lasted only a few months, followed by A. Scott and later John Reginald Ulligett. The late teacher, now under the State School system, was Mr Whiffen who closed the school in 1878.
Returning to 1861, on December 6 of that year land was gazetted: “For Church of England purposes at Merriang. Two acres, County of Bourke, Parish of Merriang, commencing at the S.E. corner of the water reserve and adjoining section 8 parish of Merriang, thence west 5 chains 55 links to E. sideof Sydney Road ...” John Sherwin soon tired of being the country squire. He was elected to the LegislativeAssembly in 1864, and leased the propertyto William Newcomen who took up residence in ‘Fausley’ with his wife and family - Louisa, Arthur, Willie and a baby. Mrs Newcomen made much of Skinner and continually sent him fruit and vegetables from her garden, plus mutton, beef and pork, indicating an active well run homestead. Newcomen has been described as a ‘typical North of Ireland squire with short grey side whiskers, fresh complexion, hard square hat, beautiful brogue, a true Irish wit and ready smile’. Sherwin took little interest in local matters thereafter. Defeated for a second term in the Assembly, he stood and was elected to the Legislative Council in 1867. But by August, 1868, he was dead, leaving a son, John Horton, six years old and his still young wife. His will reserved the property for his grandson, the property being retained by the Sherwin family for over 100 years, leased from time to time while generations reached maturity. The day-book of John Sherwin, continued after his death by his wife Mary Ann, illustrates wages and prices for the period. From July, 1863, to April, 1866, Thomas Heffernan was engaged at £40 a year; a frugal man he banked £70 on one occasion. Servants Elizabeth Anderson, Sarah Ross and others were paid £30 per annum. Meat from William Clark, butcher, and Walder and Batten, ranged from 2d per pound for beef and 3d for mutton in 1864, to 3¼d4½d (rump) for beef and 6½d for mutton in 1866. Mrs Fisher, needlewoman, received for making two nightshirts 4s, a day’s work at blinds and carpets, 2s, two quilts, two dresses and a
● Sir William John Turner Clarke week’s washing 7s. Nurses received £40 per year, gardeners 15s per week and ‘teenies’ Esther Smith, Ann Burns, etc., 4s or 5s per week. by 1870 wages were rising to £1 per week. Mrs Sherwin married again to Alexander Dick who controlled the property until Horton was 21. Meanwhile, in the west, a new colossus had arisen, W.J.T. Clarke who had come to Victoria from Tasmania with considerable capital. His first massive purchase was a presumptive right embracing the Parish of Buttlejorrk and from this base he expanded. To the east he acquired Bolinda, Headlam’s Station, Plover Plains, Deepdene and the Bald Hill Estate. By 1867 he had brought Robertson’s land in Merriang and extended over Slater’s and Chandler’s holdings to the Merriang Road. At this point, the Sherwin land, willed to the third generation, surrounded the Clarke land and on three sides. The problem of expansion eastwards was insoluable; Clarke looked elsewhere to extend, and Merriang became, as Skinner had predicted, one vast sheep-walk. Between what is called the Beveridge Lane (east from the north end of Beveridge township to the Merriang Road) and the northern limit of the Shire, David and John Gorman consolidated the purchases of Lithgow, Nicholas Arrowsmith and others into a holding of 3000 acres, calling it ‘Spring vale’. Most unusually, the house incorporated a schoolroom in a loft above the kitchen, reached by an internal staircase. In 1872, the North-Eastern Railway line was opened to Kilmore East with railway gates at the Beveridge Lane and the fettlers stationed along the line, each responsible for his own length. This rapid link with Mebourne provided an alternative rural enterprise - whole milk to Melbourne; some neighboruing farmers had long made butter and cheese, and fed the skim milk to pigs. Among the first to take advantage of this was W.H. Wilson, who leased ‘Spring Vale’ following the clearing sale of David Gorman in 1870. Gorman’s sale listed 200 cows and heifers, 80 bullocks, 60 steers and 30 horses, so it is reasonable
to assume that the substantial bluestone stables and dairies on ‘Spring Vale’ were erected by the Gormans. William Hamilton Wilson is listed in the Craigieburn and Wallan Wallan DRB rate book as farming 450 acres south of Kalkallo in 1863. He was accompanied by a J.P. and sat on the bench at Kalkallo. During his association with Merriang, he became a public figure. The biographical notes in Victoria and its Metropolis say of him; Mr Wilson was in the Merriang Shire Council for six years, president once, he has also been in the Darebin Shire Council 10 years, president six years, is a J.P. for the central bailwick, President of the Whittlesea Agricultural Society(2nd term), an elder of the Campbellfield Presbyterian Church and a representative Elder of the Assembly in Melbourne. In addition to this, he was local coroner, Chairman of the local Board of Advice for schools and trustee of All Saints Church (Church of England) Merriang. Later he leased ‘Braemore’ of 5600 acres and resided in the homestead, Miss Maria Thane who died in the early 1960s a nonagenarian, recalled learning pianoforte from Mary Sandford, governess to the Wilson children. John Slater’s cottage on a small rise half a mile west of the Merriang Hotel was utilised by W.J.T. Clarke as an outstation. The property was managed by Robert Henry first from ‘Bald Hill’ and later from ‘Mt Fraser’ in Beveridge. Behind Slater’s cottage, substantial stables with overhead chaff loft were erected, flanked by sheds, with one fitted as a six stand shearing shed; this became the eastern shearing shed for the Clarke run. That portion of the run, east of the North-Eastern Railway Line, was known locally as ‘Lady Clarke’s pocket money’. By 1890, Merriang as a village virtually ceased to exist. The school had closed in 1878, the Water Reserve, the last opportunity for a village settlement, was sold to Margaret Berry in 1883, the coach ceased running in 1885, and the store with its acre of land, was worth only £27 in 1887.
A new innovation - wire for fencing - was used about this time. Between Horton Sherwin of ‘Braemore’ and Mrs Scanlon who resided in a cottage beside the Merri Creek, there was a difference of opinion. Did the chocks and logs which comprised the perimeter of the adjoining Sherwin paddock at this time constitute a fence or a woodheap? Sherwin, his complaints unheeded, replaced the timber with wire (the paddock thereafter was known as the ‘Wire Paddock’) and Mrs Scanlon retaliated with a curse. Strangely, Sherwin died, still a young man, in the manner of Mrs Scanlon’s prediction and again only a son, John Horton, survived his father. In 1904, W.H. Wilson’s lease of ‘Spring Vale’ expired,. and the property was purchased by T.M. Browne, who renamed it ‘Camoola’, and installed R.B. Mills as manager. Later his son, H.M. Browne, tok over the property until the sale to R. Ingle Brown in 1954. At the sale of the Clarke properties in 1911, the portion east of the North-Eastern Railway line was purchased by Michael Honan. His plans to make a show piece of ‘Merri Park’ as he named it (the sole reminder of his dream being the tall gum trees of the driveway) were nullified by the 1914 drought, and the property passed to John Payne Jnr in 1915. John Payne added two rooms to the front of the cottage almost immediately and replaced the remainder in 1924. Before he died in 1939, he had added a further 275 acres of the Clarke estate and 231 acres of Sherwin land. His widow, Mrs Julia Payne added a further 586 acres and completed the homestead of ‘Merriview’, living there until 1945; the Payne link with ‘Merri Park’ was broken when Edmund Payne sold it to Sir Cecil Looker in 1966. John William Payne took over the management of ‘Merriview’ in 1943 and the Soil Conservation Board was approached for advice as water damage, rabbit infestation and overgrazing had created a serious erosion problem. This property became a Demonstration Area for the Soil Conservation Board (later Soil Conservation Authority) who have given technical advice, manual assistance and co-operation in exchange for the right to bring interested parties, mainly students, to the area to study the effect and control of erosion by water. In the intervening years, not less than 2000 people annually visit portion of what was ‘Merriview’, now ‘Ben Feochan’, since 1967 the property of Dr B.R. and Mrs J. Stewardson, and the SCA have an appropriate officer seconded to conduct the parties on their arrival. ‘Braemore’ homestead classified ‘C’ by the National Trust remains an imposing pile though now bereft of its encircling verandah. After more than 100 years of Sherwin possession, the property was sold to Mr H.G. Williams and by him to Sir Arthur Jennings in 1969. Merriang as a village no longer exists; postal services were withdrawn in 1923, and the address changed to Beveridge. ● To be continued next week in The Local Paper.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: TOMB RAIDER: Genre: Action/Adventure. Cast: Alicia Vikander, Hannah John-Kamen, Dominic West, Nick Frost. Year: 2018. Rating: M. Length: 122 Minutes. Stars: **½ Verdict: Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, pushes herself beyond her limits when she sets off to a mysterious island where her father disappeared. Since the beginning of cinema archeological searches and mysteries have been a staple diet through the decades, covering almost every genre and almost becoming a genre unto itself, "The Mummy (1932 to 2017), "King Kong" (1933-1977-2005), "King Solomon's Mines" (1937/50/85), the "National Treasure" Series to "Indiana Jones," countless movies have covered every part above and below the ground you can think of. Now, with this reboot of "Lara Croft," first hitting the screens with the more sexually charged and gun toting Angelina Jolie in 2001, this has absolutely nothing new to off, a pedestrian romp and a tiresome retread of ground covered too many times before, and not that well executed. The screenplay is paper thin, the action and villains full of cliché, plenty of pot holes and the pacing plodding at times, however, the same can be said about many with this scenario or genre before it, it's nothing new. Oscar winner Alicia Vikander gives our heroine a nice fresh twist on the character, carrying the weight of Lara Croft while discovering her family history and setting off on the adventure of a lifetime firmly on her shoulders with seemingly solid conviction, so despite its flaws there is enough here to enjoy, even though it's not much to hang on to, so let's hope that if she returns for a second outing, they've learnt the mistakes so obvious here .... but this first time around, for the older generations or fans of the genre, it might draw a yawn or two, but for the younger crowd and newcomers, it's a good place to start because the only way from here is up! FILM: THE MERCY: Genre: Biography/Drama. Cast: Colin Firth, Rachel Weisz, David Thewlis, Ken Stott. Year: 2018. Rating: M. Length: 112 Minutes. Stars: *** Verdict: British biographical drama based on the true story of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst and his solo attempt of becoming the first person circumnavigate the globe without stopping and win The Sunday Times 1968 Golden Globe Race, the struggles he confronted on the journey in an unfinished boat ,and with his business and house on the line, all while his family awaited his return. For those who don't know the story, I will say only that Director James Marsh (The Theory of Everything) has created an impressively realized tale of the sea, and star Colin Firth gives a solid performance as the troubled and tormented sailor with dreams and aspirations and a shot a glory that go far beyond the horizon. Rachel Weisz as his wife, David Thewlis as journalist Rodney Hallworth, along with Ken Stott and Simon McBurney as Sir Francis Chichester, round out a superb cast that all deliver with satisfying results. Previously filmed as the highly acclaimed documentary Deep Water in 2006, and as a feature film, Crowhurst, in 2017 with Justin Salinger as Donald Crowhurst, this is a gripping and thought provoking story on one of the last great adventures and how dreams can be turned into nightmares. FILM: SICARIO: Genre: Crime/Thriller. Cast: Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, Victor Garber. Year: 2015. Rating: MA15+ Length: 121 Minutes. Stars: **** Verdict: With the superb and long-awaited follow-up "Sicario: The Day of the Soldado" in cinemas, lets takes a look back at the one that started it all. Sicario, searing crime-thriller of a principled FBI agent who is enlisted by a government task force, no matter how unorthodox, to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico and bring down the leader of a powerful and brutal Mexican drug cartel. Starting at a nail-biting fever pitch director Denis Villeneuve (2013's "Prisoners" with Hugh Jackman) not only keeps the pitch high, but builds on it. Driven by a blistering Screenplay by Taylor Sheridan, stars Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro punch a hole right through the screen, they have never been better and are right at the top of their game, each giving Oscar worthy performances. With bristling cinematography by Oscar winner Roger Deakins, all is capped off by a hair-raising score by the late Johann Johannsson with commanding and powerful effect, and like John Williams' classic theme from "Jaws" (1975), he translates the music into 'a demonic character and menacing threat' on its own chilling terms. The cinematography by Roger Deakins, the pacing, atmosphere, mood, the creeping tension and action are balanced to near perfection in this powerful, gripping and nail-biting thriller that grabs you by the throat and never lets go for a second. Not only one of the best films of the year, but one of the very best of the genre, and any year for that matter .... grab it with both hands!

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.

Turner interview ■ Geraldine Turner, one of the legends of the Australian stage will be special interview guest with Kevin Trask on That's Entertainment at 12 Noon on Sunday (July 8) on 96.5 Inner FM. Geraldine has starred in musicals such at Anything Goes, Chicago, A Little Night Music, Wicked and many others over a period of more than 40 years and has just released a new CD, Great Australian Voices - Musical Theatre - Geraldine Turner which is available on line from fishfinemusic.com.au This is an outstanding three CD collection of songs by Geraldine Turner between the years 1975 to 2018
$400,000 wine ■ Three bottles of near-250-year-old wine have sold at auction in France for a whopping 253,000 Euros – or around a touch under A$400,000. The Vin Jaune wines (the name means “Yellow Wine” because of the colour) were made by Anatoile Vercel in 1774 at his vineyard and winery in the Jura region near France’s border with Switzerland, and have been carefully stored since then in the Vercel family cellar in the little town of Arbois. They were made from Savagnin grapes that were harvested 244 years ago during the reign of King Louis XVI. One of the bottles fetched E103,700 (A$162,500) at the recent auction in Eastern France, another E76,250 (A$119,490) and the third E73,200 (A$114,700,) the buyers being avid collectors from Canada and the United States, and amongst some 50 who participated in the auction. In 1994 two other bottles from the same 1774 vintage Vin Jaune were opened and tasted by a panel of 24 of Europe’s mostrespected wine professionals. - David Ellis

Some of Margaret River’s finest ■ These days, Sandalford, one of the largest brands in Western Australia, is based largely in the southern district of Margaret River, where it has a 300-hectare vineyard at Wilyabrup. But it wasn't always so. Sandalford very much had its roots at Caversham, in the much warmer Swan Valley to the north-east of Perth. In 1840, Queen Victoria granted 4000 acres on the banks of the Swan River to John Septimus Roe, the colony's first Surveyor General, who had set aside land for Perth's beautiful Kings Park and laid out both Perth and Fremantle. He named his new holding Sandalford, after a priory in his native Berkshire, and established a successful vineyard there. Among its winemakers has been Dorham Mann, son of legendary Western Australian winemaker Jack Mann, and incidentally a fine cricketer. In the early 1970s Dorham urged his management to concentrate Sandalford's operations in the fledgling Margaret River. The rest as they say is history. The current winemaker is Hope Metcalfe, who has a vintage at Petaluma on her CV, plus experience in France and Oregon. "My role is to let the grapes shine and ensure they reflect the vineyard site they're from. The fruit source for all of wines is paramount to their success, and I'm incredibly

Water rights ■ Traditional owners in Australia will have new tools to progress their enduring struggle for water rights, with the launch of a groundbreaking research study by Aboriginal organisations and the Federal Water Minister David Littleproud. The National Cultural Flows Research Project is a five-year, multidisciplinary research project led by Aboriginal organisations and supported by leading water scientists, law reform experts and water management agencies. The project was established in 2012 to secure a future where indigenous water allocations are embedded within Australia's water management regime.

NBN rollout ■ NBN Co has hit a huge milestone today with the rollout now nearly complete, under construction or in design outside of major urban areas. Minister for Regional Communications, Senator Bridget McKenzie, welcomed the announcement and said the milestone marks a significant achievement and a reason for regional businesses to celebrate. “The Coalition prioritised the NBN rollout into the regions and we are now seeing the benefits in our rural economies,” Senator McKenzie said. “Internet access is becoming increasingly important for our daily activities, particularly for those living in rural areas. The NBN is helping to bridge the digital divide, by providing regional Australians with the tools they need to grow and prosper in their local area.” “We have already seen 1750 additional jobs created in the regions, this new technology will enable more businesses to make the move out of the cities and into our rural towns and communities.”

YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT SENIORS
Yea 7-10 (52) defeated Alexandra 5.12 (42) Yea stood up in what was their most important game of the season to date, holding on against rivalsAlexandra by 10 points at home to help the club secure the Hedger-Ivey Cup. With the teams locked on 20 points and separated by just two percentage points, it was a crucial contest for both sides and the Tigers brought the heat early with great endeavour, controlling most of the play but failing to capitalise as they took a seven-point buffer into the first change. Two goals apiece in the second term reduced the margin to less than a kick but the hosts stepped it up in the third quarter, booting three goals to one and opening up a 17-point advantage heading into the final stanza. The last term was a tale of inaccuracy; the Tigers managed 0.5 and failed to put the game away early on, while the Rebels will be rueing the 1.7 they managed in what was the most freeflowing period of the match. Yea's midfielders had a day out, with Brad Clements and Josh Carrol waxing well in the ruck to feed the on-ball trio of Adrian McCarthy, Harrison Jarvie and Jack Salau. Dan O'Dwyer did a great job on ex-AFL listed player Brayden Norris and provided some integral rebound with his long kicking out of defence. In the back half, Trav Kirkham saved multiple goals with his spoiling and Aidan McSpeerin played an important lock down role on lively Brandon Kapakoulakis, while Chris Graham and Michael Curcio slotted two goals apiece. It was the home side's best defensive performance of the season, highlighting by aggression around the contest and strong tackling. The only letdown was some poor finishing going inside 50 and in front of the big sticks. The Tigers have moved into fourth position, ahead of Gembrook on percentage and a game clear of Alexandra in sixth spot. Yea will be looking for two wins on the trot when they travel to Thornton-Eildon this Saturday. Goalkickers: C. Graham 2, M. Curcio 2, D. Evans, R. Aldous, R. Timmins. Best Players: H. Jarvie, A. McCarthy, D. O'Dwyer, A. Walsh, A. McSpeerin, J. Salau. - Patrick Evans
YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT RESERVES Yea 9.3 (57) defeated Alexandra 3.5 (23) After a disappointing loss against GembrookCockatoo, Yea bounced back against the old foe Alexandra, running out comfortable 34-point winners. It was tight start to the game and even though the Tigers appeared to control general play, the scoreboard remained close, with two goals apiece in the opening quarter. This theme continued in the second and even though Yea held the ascendancy with two goals to one, it was just a five-point buffer and anyone's game heading into half time. This all changed after the major break as Yea held the Rebels goalless for the entire second half while putting through six majors of their own to snuff out any chance of an upset. It was an even performance from the reserves, with Mark Steinermaking his presence known and Darcy Pell dominating in the ruck, while Trent McMahon was lively in attack with three majors. Dean Clue was rock solid in defence, Joshua Keyte was dangerous in attack, Eddie Neilson offered plenty of grunt through the middle of the ground and Jaryed Garlick won a stack of footy. The victory was made even sweeter with Daniel Belsten playing his first game back at the club after a horror run with injuries in the first half of the year, capped by a booming goal from outside 50. Goalkickers: T. McMahon 3, N. Charles, C. Evans, D. Belsten, D. Pell, T. O'Dwyer, A. Butterworth. Best Players: M. Steiner, J. Garlick, E. Neilson, J. Keyte, T. McMahon, D. Clue. - Patrick Evans

NETBALL
A-GRADE Alexandra brought their A game to Yea on Saturday and really pushed the Tigers, the home team taking until the last quarter to take control of the game. Yea recorded a 69-goal victory when the two teams clashed in round one but this was not going to be the same result when Alex showed early that they were a much improved side. They started well, jumping to an early lead and holding Yea at bay until quarter-time, leading by 3. Yea made three changes to the line up at quarter-time in an attempt to improve on their first quarter. They chipped away at the Alex lead and eventually levelled the scores, the game then going goal for goal to remain tied at 25 each. Yea had their chances to really overtake the game in the second half but they made costly errors at times throughout the third quarter which Alex capitalised on. It was Yea's experience that gave them enough sway to lead by 7 at the last break. Yea produced their best quarter in the last 15 minutes, maintaining possession much better and working the ball more precisely from defence to attack. Yea ended up winning the game by 14 goals
YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT but had to work very hard for the win. Megan Leatham had a ripper game in GD, Nikki Watts in GS and Sarah Armstrong stepped up from B grade and put in a solid game. Yea 58 def Alexandra 44 Goals: M. Martinov 36, N. Watts 18, R. Hickey 4. Best: M. Leatham, S. Coppinger, S. Armstrong. B-GRADE The B-Grade girls congratulated stalwart Lauren Cronk on her 250th game before taking to the court in steady rain against Alexandra. Both teams started slowly in the conditions, taking time to gain confidence under foot and to get hands to the slippery ball. Both teams chipped away at the scoreboard in an even first 10 minutes but Yea just had the edge by 3 goals at quarter-time. Drawing on coach Mel’s quarter-time instructions, the girls started to get the upper hand over Alexandra, the defensive end brilliant Cindy, Loz and Reggie worked tirelessly on their opponents and Alex had to work hard for their goals in the second and third quarters. Soph, Kate and Tara rotated the midcourt well and drove to circles edge well in the wet conditions. With a 15-goal lead in the last quarter the Tigers finished off reasonably strongly to win by 20. Meg Sundblom was once again fantastic at GS shooting 38 of her teams 46 goals. Congratulations once again to Lozzy on her 250th game, a true champion of the club. Yea 46 def Alexandra 26 Goals: M. Sundblom 38, C. Hayes 8. Best: L. Cronk, T. Gregory, C. Hayes. C-GRADE The C-Grade Tigers had a point to prove after their unexpected loss to Alex in Round 1 by 11. The game started evenly with both teams scoring 9 in the first. The second unfortunately saw Alex’s GS leave the court due to in an injury and it was Yea’s opportunity to capitalise however Alex held strong and won the quarter by 1. A change up in the defence end in the third enabled Yea to shift the momentum their way and came away with a 10 goal to 3 quarter. Alex’s never-say-die attitude prevailed and they came back strong in the last but not quiet strong enough with the Tigers holding on for the win 31 to 27. D-GRADE Last Saturday was the third time for the season these two teams have met due to the modified D-Grade fixture and the results went the Tigers way again. After the slow starts by the Tigers in the last couple of weeks they knew that they needed to turn that around starting with their warm up which they did. The game started evenly with both teams creating turnovers but not capitalising with scores on the board but it was Yea that settled first and got the initial goals. The second quarter saw Tessa Walton take the court in to WD and she was determined to make her mark on the game and took an intercept at the first centre pass which set the girls in motion to increase their lead. A niggling ankle issue saw GD Teagan Britton leave the court at the half time break and wasn’t able to return. As a pivotal player in the defence end it could have been disastrous instead Ebony Edge stepped into the position and didn’t miss a beat with support from Jill Hargeaves in GK. The third quarter was the strongest with Stacey Murray not content with just scoring goals she took mid court intercepts that then she and Hannah Broderick were able to convert. The midcourts of Kate Broadway and Caitlyn Broderick were feeding in and moving around the ring freely. The final was always going to be a battle as both teams know each other so well and it was Alexandra’s turn to shine but the lead was great enough that Yea were still the victors 24 to 21. - Cindy Hayes and Deb Schickerling
YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT LAUREN CRONK’S 250TH GAME
■ Club stalwart Lauren Cronk celebrated her 250th game with a victory over Alexandra on Saturday. Lauren has been a much loved member of the club since arriving in Yea in 2001, progressing to A-Grade within a matter of weeks where she played well over 150 games, before moving into the B-Grade side at the start of 2014. Up until this time Lauren had competed in numerous finals campaigns, the closest to a premiership in 2010 where the Tigers finished heartbreakingly short against Powelltown, a team that Lauren now takes much pleasure in defeating. Lauren was finally rewarded with a premiership in 2015, a heart stopping one goal victory against Emerald where she was awarded the Best on court medal for her role in the GD and WD positions. All those present that day will remember the game saving intercept that Lauren took in the dying minutes of the game that gave Yea the opportunity to score the winning goal. Two years later and another one-goal victory against Belgrave saw another premiership medal around Lauren’s neck, as proud captain of the B-Grade side. Lauren was renamed B-Grade’s captain again at the beginning of this season and she has her sights set on leading the team to the last day of the season again. Her composure and experience on court sets the standard for all her team mates and there is never a game where she isn't supportive and encouraging of all those around her. This list of personal and team achievements to Lauren’s name is lengthy, but it is her voluntary efforts that are just as admired at the club. They include Coach, assistant coach, umpire, scorer, timer and most recently Net Set Go Co-coordinator. Lauren has always been happy to put up her hand and help where it is needed. It is these traits that makes a true club person, and Lauren is that, on and off the court. Congratulations Lauren on your 250th game, it was a pleasure for all of us to see you celebrate the milestone with Simon and your gorgeous girls Maya, Kensi and Holly. You are a true role model to your girls and to so many others. - Cindy Hayes
JUNIOR FOOTBALL
UNDER 10 The improvement these kids are making each week is a credit to themselves and their Coach. Euroa have historically always been incredibly strong with their football abilites but the Yea kids held their own Sunday with connected passages of play and good use of the ball. The decision making of the little Tigers is what was the stand out and the team work within their zones. Well done to all the kids who played. Awards: Country Club Award - Bailey Bastion, Royal Mail Hotel Award - Tander Fairchild, Tiger Bucks - Jordan Martin & Max McAlpin UNDER 12 It was always going to be a tough match against top of the ladder Euroa but it was made a little easier leaving behind the Yea fog for Euroa’s sunshine. The Tigers had a difficult task keeping the ball out of a strong Euroa forward line and despite a big team effort Yea were unable to come close to matching Euroa’s shots on goal. While Euroa were dominant throughout the game, the Tigers never gave up and played a solid game until the final siren. Final Scores: Euroa 15.14 (104) def. Yea 1.0 (6) Goalkicker: Riley Frankcombe

Thornton B-Grade took to the court against Kinglake with a grin and tenacious energy on the dreary June day. Kinglake's pace was fast, however Thornton once again played their hardest and matched it time and time again. This week the attacking members shined brightest, with play after play resulting in goal with accurate passes and fast decisions. Our defence landed intercepts at every opportunity and once again made sure Kinglake's win wasn't a walk in the park. Thankyou once again to the Thornton BGrade side for bringing the heat to every challenge and rising week after week to go again. C-GRADE Thornton 0, 0, 5, 10 lost to Kinglake 12, 8, 30, 42. C-Grade once again took advantage of every opportunity to show off their developed defence skills, and cheeky smiles while they were at it. Mid court and opposing goal defenders were stand outs in this game, as Kinglake set the pace. Ball after ball was intercepted, with the Thornton girls gritting their teeth and pushing harder until the final siren. Our goals were scored after attacking passages worked down the court, however Kinglake's defence was tough to beat. C-Grade showed huge development in many player's skill levels and every player should be proud of their efforts this week. Even Jayne and Sammi and their broken fingers. Well done ladies. WOMEN’S FOOTBALL Our Thornton Women’s football team travelled to Kinglake Saturday, after a venue change to help with umpiring rostering and due to the upgrade of the Thornton clubrooms being unavailable. After arriving to the mystic mountains of Kinglake which was new for the Croydon South club it was going to be a tough day at the office with weather conditions being cold wet and windy in true Kinglake form. South Croydon has a special bond with Thornton being the first practice match played and also some girls came up to attend training with our club to help us on the road to forming our women’s team. What has come to be the norm for our girls they have performed and did so again on the weekend with scoring from both teams difficult to come by in the first half. Girls who continue to improve Bonny in the ruck, Alexia on the ball led by captain Tash all kept pushing on and a break through goal came in the third quarter from Meg who has played full back all year and was playing centre half forward for the first time kicked a goal after spinning out of pack onto her left to goal. Thornton showed real strength and improvement in their game by keeping South Croydon to only one goal in the quarter. After many changes to position, which in turn to help the girls improve their knowledge of all positional roles on the ground it can only help in
their development overall. An example of that was Lucy who played full back and kicked out for the first time and did a fine job at that. Mentions to first gamer Robyn did a great job playing on the wing and in the backline also. Our team is adaptable and forever welcoming new ladies willing to give this great game a go. Meg Norris is a consistent performer in all positions on the ground. Tanika had an inspiring second half chase from behind tackle and showed why she is a valuable asset to the team. Three members of the Thornton Shinboners Netball team traded runners for footy boots, also love having a run on the ground and continue to improve every single game simply enjoying being out there. The girls may have lost this week’s game but won many admirers from the hard opposition in South Croydon. Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped on the weekend or supported the journey to mystic Kinglake. - Sarah Stevenson
ALEXANDRA FOOTBALL-NETBALL CLUB REPORT SATURDAY
The AFLYarra Ranges League Round 10 of the 2018 season last Saturday saw the start of the second half of the season as the Rebels travelled to the Yea Tigers lair to challenge in two games of football and four games of netball for the Hedger-Ivey Cup, a trophy instigated to record the contributions by Kevin Hedger and Richard Ivey to their respective football netball Clubs and the towns of Alexandra and Yea. UNDER 18 The Under 18s travelled to Upwey to take on the fifth-placed Tigers, missing some injured players but with the assistance of several Under 16 players were able to field a team which competed strongly but overwhelmed by the home side. Harry Twining was added to the injury list early in the game but the Rebels did not give in and worked hard until the final siren, Upwey taking the win 19.9 (123) to 1.4 (10). Awards: Bundalaguah Engineering award Willem Woolford, Hadfield Contractors award - Tyson Pedlar, Alexandra Tyrepower award Darcy Rouget, RPT Plastering award - Daniel McFadzean, DMK Taxation award - Jordan Laurie Rhodes, Alexandra Apparel award William Ellis. RESERVES The Reserves took to the field, despite many players unavailable through injury and other commitments, and were able to field a team through the fine Club spirit shown by former players like Travis Carter, Steven Hedger, Michael Heyes, Ben Van Lierop and Kurt Veldman along with a new recruit Mitchel Judd. The game had been in progress only about eight minutes when a serious injury occurred to Jarvis Matuschka which required the use of a stretcher and stopped the game for some minutes and we hope that Jarvis who was taken for observation was not too seriously injured. The game, although not of a high standard possibly because of the slippery conditions, was an even contest early with two goals apiece in the first quarter. The second quarter was similar with Alex only five points down at half time. As the rain ceased the home side got on top in the third quarter as the standard improved to lead by sixteen points at the last change. Alex kept trying and contested well but as our "recruits" tired, Yea finished the game off much better than Alex to record a win 9.3 - 57 to 3.5 - 23.

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT
SENIORS The Seniors football side included Brent McDonald and Jonathan Noy to replace the injured Scott Heveren and Conor Heaslip. Alexandra began to the western end and was soon into attack via Chris McKay but the Yea defence cleared but Alex came again as Brandon Kapakoulakis had a chance but was off target. Yea cleared the ball and found a team-mate in the forward pocket who scored the first goal of the game. Alex was matching the Tigers and Matthew Steiner earned a free kick but he too was astray. Yea were using the ball well and kicked a second goal before Jake Steyger and Ben Cooper in the centre bounces got Alex forward but the Yea defence was equal to the task until Michael Coombs set up front and centre of the pack and snapped Alexandra's first goal. Both sides were tackling strongly but Yea gave away a free and subsequent 50m penalty as Brayden Norris was receiving plenty of attention but a certain goal was forfeited as an overzealous and undisciplined team mate had the decision reversed. Alex had other opportunities but could not get dangerous whilst Yea added behinds as Cooper and McDonald laid strong tackles, Yea leading by eight points at the first break. Yea added the first score of the second quarter, a behind although Alex were getting the ball into their forward area often without any result until Norris accepted a bullet like pass and goaled. Yea quickly replied to re-establish their lead, a centre square infringement again got Alex into the forward 50 but only a behind resulted. Alex moved the ball well from defence via Coombs and Steve Steiner but the recipient, McKay was also offline. Kapakoulakis, who was winning plenty of the ball accepted a "down the ground" free for a goal. A free up the other end soon restored Yea's lead but it was a tight contest, the Alex defence had done well to hold Yea to only four goals but Yea's defence was equally as good as the home side led by six points at the long break. The third quarter began with the ball rebounding between the 50m arcs until McKay found Norris one out but his long shot was touched on the goal line. The Goonan twins, Jack and Will, along with Lee Ragg held out the Tigers until half way through the quarter, both sides were working hard in close but Yea goaled twice with long kicks that just cleared the defenders outstretched hands to give Yea a handy three goal lead at the last break. Alex was first into attack in the last quarter for a rushed behind, Yea missed narrowly at the western end before Alex ran the ball the length of the scoreboard side from the kick in for Norris to goal and give Alex a chance. Alexandra had the ball at their end of the ground most of the last quarter but could only manage behinds as the defence continued to hold out the home side but Alex lacked penetration up forward although they kicked 1 goal 7 behinds and could not bridge the gap despite winning the quarter.

This coming Saturday, the Alexandra Football/-Netball Club has partnered with Primary Care Connect to deliver aLove the Game themed event. The Love the Game Sporting Club Program is a gambling prevention program developed to address the community concern over the growing influence of gambling on young people through sport, advertising, social media and online games. The amount of gambling advertising we are being exposed to makes it seem like sports betting is just a normal part of sport. By making it seem normal the risks are often not considered, and people can end up experiencing gamblingrelated harm. This Saturday, we are encouraging all players to cheer, celebrate and share in every moment of the game with us, shifting focus away from the odds. Betting companies use the great moments of our game to entice fans to bet, we want to help everyone to preserve the essence of their sport by separating gambling from the game. The Love the Game Sporting Club Program aims to counter the growing culture of betting in sport, and to create safe and healthy sporting Clubs across Victoria. There will be information available at the Club during the day, there is a meal available in the rooms after the senior games at $15 per adult at 6.30 pm. There is a guest speaker, David, who will relay his experiences with gambling as the most popular kid in school, he was the 'school bookie' and hosted sports bets out of his locker. Little did he know that would be the start of a 30-year gambling career. Now re formed, David is a trained presenter who relates his emotional story but he also emphasises his successful journey to recovery, and the importance of learning to 'feel good again'.

shooters places a maximum scoring shot on the Katandra target it even makes it harder. The Katandra range is now electronic and the one thing that the shooters did not miss was the need to change markers through the match. The Katandra club spent all of the 2017 season carrying out range improvements including the setting up of electronic targets that facilitating shooting back to 900 yards. The Katandra club must be congratulated for the great job they have done to bring the range up to such a high standard. A feature of Saturday’s shoot was the early start similar to last week that ensured shooting was completed in good light and the visiting team got home at a reasonable hour. Terry Gee took top score off rifle for ECDR, it is good to see Terry back after his two year break and it is very clear he has not lost any of the skills that won him the SA Queens Prize in 2016. At the other end of the team Paul Watkins in his first McAuliffe Shield pennant season is shooting well and each week the size of his groups becomes smaller. The ECDRA Off-Rifle scores were: Terry Gee 175.13, Neale Hambridge 173.9, Marty Kelly 170.7, David Wallace169.10, Rossco Davis 167.12, Brian Houlihan 165.6, Geoff James 164.3 and Paul Watkins 163.6. The Katandra team shot very well with Simon Whatley, shooting target rifle, shot a “possible" score 150.20 out of 150.30 a very good shoot under the conditions of the match. ECDRA’s Wednesday’s shoot this week saw some very serious practice put in by all and the results were Target Rifle Peter Daldy 50.3, F Standard Rosco Davis 58.6, 59.4 = 117.10 Richard Godden 51.2, F Open Neal Hambridge 47 60.5 = 107.5 and Mart Kelly 58.5, 59.3, 59.6, 30.2, 59.5 = 265.21. Shooting next week for the ECDRA will be at the Violet Town Range, new shooters are most welcome, we do have a nice warm club house if the weather gets nasty. Please check the calendar on our web site “www.ecdra.com.au” for details of the shoot. - Robert Chaffe

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.
