Following the service friends and family will gather at the Yarck Hotel. A private cremation will follow.

Eagles lose points ■ AFLYarra Ranges Division 2 team Yarra Junction has lost four premiership points and been fined $1250 ($750 suspeneded) after a breach of player rules.

The club’s on-field victory on June 30 has been reversed, and instead awarded to Powelltown.

“The AFL Yarra Ranges was made aware of a total player points breach by Yarra Junction on Saturday, June 30, 2018, in the Senior Match versus Powelltown,” said the League.

“Yarra Junction was forthright in contacting the league as soon as they became aware of the issue and were co-operative in providing their reasoning’s as to why the issue occurred.”

The club exceededits maximum player points allocation in the match. The Commission has deemed that whilst it may have been in error it still constituted a breach of the AFL Victoria Player Points System Policy.

Yea’s Cassie on TV

■ Y Water Discovery Centre’s Cassie Leatham was featured on ABC-TV on Friday (July 13).

The Gardening Australia episode showed Ms Leatham in the first of a series of segments with presenter Millie Ross.

■ MURRINDINDI Shire Council may pay up to $302,000 more for its recycling contract with Visy until June 2020.

Shire, Visy vary their contract

The world recycling crisis, brought on by China’s reluctance to accept much of Australia’s recycling content, has brought about the renegotiation.

Earlier this year, Visy, headed by the Pratt family, set about re-negotiating the contract for collection and sorting of the Shire’s recyclables.

An offer was put by the company in May, and then modified last month.

● Cr Eric Lording The Council agreed at a special meeting held on June 13, to back-date the contract variation to March 28.

The motion was proposed

by Cr Eric Lording, and seconded by Cr Leigh Dunscombe.

The motion gives Shire officers power to Council officers to separately agree a variation to details of the Recyclables Acceptance and Sorting Contract for the period March 1-27.

The estimated value of the contract variations is $302,000 (depending on the actual recyclables quantity processed) from March 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020.”

Kellock Board members urged to reconsider ■ PRIMINENT Alexandra citizen Frank Devries has urged four Kellock Lodge directors to review their decision to support Bishop John Parkes’s proposal to merge with St John’s Retirement Village at Wangaratta.

In an open letter submitted to The Local Paper, former Alexandra Secondary College Principal Frank Devries pleads the Alexandra community’s case to the four directors who sided with the Bishop.

The document is headed: “An open letter to the Kellock Lodge board members who cosigned the bishop's letter “After three weeks of community outrage against the bishop's proposal, I feel it necessary to make a plea to your senses of community and respect for its feelings and ask you to withdraw your support for the amalgamation of Kellock Lodge and St John's Village under a new board centred in Wangaratta with token representation from our community.

“I ask respectfully, with full recognition of the outstanding service and leadership you, Ian Davis, Ann Hunter, Heather McLaren and Graeme Brown have provided over many years in various capacities.

“To Ian Davis I say, “The community's outrage is not based on misinformation, nor is it about fear-mongering.

“It is not about "money, money, money" (unless this is the hidden agenda behind the bishop's proposal given the nation-wide sale of assets), rather it is about community, community, community. :”To suggest that the existing board is responsible for management and compliance problems and is lacking in the capacity to oversee ongoing compliance is not only a slur on current

Saturday football

■ Round 13 of Division 2 football of the AFL Yarra Ranges League will be played this Saturday(July 21).

The match fixture is: Gembrook-Cockatoo v Yarra Glen, Powelltown v ThorntonEildon, Seville v Yea, and Yarra Junction v Kinglake. Alexandra has the bye.

Following a general bye last weekend, Division 1 football and netball resumes: Emerald v Monbulk, Olinda-Ferny Creek v Heralesville, Upwey-Tecoma v Mount Evelyn, Wandin v Woori Yallock, and Waburton-Millgrove v Belgrave.

Cannabis arrest ■ Two men have been arrested after they were allegedly found with a commercial quantity of cannabis and hydroponic equipment in a truck in Whittlesea early on Saturday morning.

Kinglake Police officers were on patrol when they saw a rental truck travelling south on Yea Rd just after midnight.

The officers intercepted the vehicle and noticed a strong smell of cannabis coming from the rear of the truck.

The truck was searched and a commercial quantity of cannabis in plant form and stripped leaves was allegedly located.

The driver, a 28-year-old Brighton man and his passenger, a 29-year-old Bulleen man, have been charged with possess and traffick a commercial quantity of cannabis.

Medal owner sought ■ Seymour Police are trying to locate the owner of a war medal found around the School of Artillery area at Puckapunyal.

Avenues of enquiry have shed no light on the owner. If you have information please call Seymour Police on 5735 0200.

Drop-in at Yarck ● Frank Devries and past board members, but also on yourselves.

“To each of you I ask the questions: Have you no respect for the long and devoted service provided by Maurie Pawsey OAM, John Sharwood OAM, Jim Kinniburgh, Larry Fallon, Michael Manning, Bill Rollason, Rod Sloan to mention a few with apologies to those I have missed?

“These people are vehemently opposed to any merger.

“Do you really believe that their anger is misplaced? Are they not committed to Kellock Lodge providing outstanding care to its residents?

Locals, 100, to celebrate

■ Rosebank Extended Care Centre, Yea, is scheduled to be the venue for celebrations at 2pm this Friday (July 20) for the 100th birthdays ofJean Mahoney and Lily Johnson.

● Craig Lloyd ■ Castella Quarries Pty Ltd, Lima South Quarries Pty Ltd and Norville Nominees Pty Ltd (trading as Euroa Quarries) have been appointed to Murrindindi Council’s Quarry Supply Panel for an initial term of two years commencing July 1.

Two further options of two year extensions apply.

Estimate value of the contracts (combined) is $200,000 per year over a maximum six-year period.

Chief Executive Officer Craig Lloyd has been authorised to extend the panel contract beyond the initial term subject to satisfactory performance.

it was not their intention to see Kellock Lodge being other than a facility run for and by the Alexandra community.

"While we are not local residents we all have fond memories of Alexandra and can readily appreciate and associate ourselves with the feelings and aspirations of the township and its residents.

“Regional communities gain much of their purpose from a sense of belonging.

“This includes the spirit that drives people to participate and the resultant institutions (physical, cultural and social) that help bind communities together.

Kellock Lodge is certainly one of these.

"It would be a shame to see the Alexandra community spirit lessened by one of their institutions losing its sense of local identity.

"It is our wish that the bishop would see his way clear to leave in local hands."

The letter was signed by Anthony Kellock, Alastair Kellock and June Wood (nee Kellock).

Kellock letter

Bishop’s reply

Quarries get nod

■ Descendants of the Kellock family have issued a statement about the Kellock Lodge situation at Alexandra.

"As descendants of those that donated the land to help establish Kellock Lodge we are deeply concerned that the original concept of a local community based facility for the aged in Alexandra is now under threat,” said the letter published by Alexandra Newspapers.

"We are sure that our fathers and uncles and those of the Kellock family that preceded them would be distressed to see this wonderful local community resource eroded in either substance or spirit because of what appear to be the needs of another facility in another unrelated community.

■ Murrindindi Mayor Cr Charlie Bisset told the Council that she participated in the 40th birthday celebrations of the Rubicon Outdoor Education Centre The Centre took over the site of the original State Electricity Commission accommodation in the Rubicon Valley, Cr Bisset said.

● Photo by Ken Mival ■ The imagination of people in Flowerdale - and beyond - has been excited about the discovery of the Brush-tailed Phascogale, a little-known native carnivorous marsupial.

It was discovered when when remote cameras set up during the Focus on Fauna survey project in 2011-12 which revealed its presence at several locations in the Flowerdale – Strath Creek area.

That indicated that this threatened species was most likely recovering well after the By fires, and several sightings since then, many in nest boxes, have confirmed this.

The unusual photo shows the phascogale out during the day. It is predominantly a nocturnal hunter, feeding mainly on arthropods, but occasionally supplementing its diet with small vertebrates and even nectar.

Phascogales are highly susceptible to predation by foxes and cats, as well as native goannas and owls.

It is hoped that a significant reduction in fox numbers under the current King Parrot Catchment Fox Control Project, will greatly improve the survival chances of this little critter.

Shire procurement ■ Murrindindi Shire Council’s procurement policy will work towards ‘best practice’, with a focus on improved sustainability outcomes.

The Council will look to environmental and resource consumption principles being taken into consideration in procurement decisions.

Councillors are looking to improved environmental outcomes in buying decisions. ● Continued from Page 9

Open letter to Kellock directors “Have you considered the feelings of the Kellock family members who have expressed their opposition to the proposal? ”Again, I ask you to inform the bishop that you respect the overwhelming majority of this community's wishes (nearing 2000 petition signatures) and withdraw your support for the proposal. This community will greatly respect you for doing so,” Mr Devries said.

NAIDOC focus ■ NAIDOC Week in Murrindindi Shire inspired excitement and curiosity in everyone involved, says Deputy Mayor Cr Sandice McAulay,.

Cr McAulay said Council was pleased to have supported several events which promote the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal people.

"We were very lucky to have local and visiting Aboriginal people share their rich and vibrant cultures with our communities over the week," Cr McAulay said.

"At Council's Alexandra Library, Taungurung woman Cassie Leatham led two wonderful weaving workshops - one for kids and another for women.

"And Aboriginal author Bruce Pascoe did great presentations at both the Alexandra Library and the Y Water Discovery Centre.

“Talking about his latest book Dark Emu: Black Seeds: Agriculture or Accident?, Mr Pascoe outlined the findings of his research which came from historical pastoral and explorer's journals.

His research suggests Aboriginal Australians were us-

● Cr Sandice McAulay ing agricultural practices tens of thousands of years ago which is in stark contrast to the accepted theory they were predominately hunter-gatherer people.

"At the Y Water Discovery Centre, Taungurung woman Angela ten Buuren put together an exhibition of Taungurung cultural artefacts and ran traditional art activities for children.

Ms ten Buuren and Cassie Leatham also led a series of 'walk and talk' tours through the Yea Wetlandsto share the tra-

ditional uses of indigenous plants.

"These events are really important because they provide an opportunity for everyone to learn more about the history and culture of Aboriginal people in a fun and engaging way,” Cr McAulay said.

“I would like to say a big thank you to Ms ten Buuren, Ms Leatham and Mr Pascoe for their generosity in sharing their time and stories with us.

"Often when we get the opportunity to hear stories and see firsthand other ways of doing things it sparks our curiosity.

“And what better way to find answers to questions you didn't know you had than visiting your library? Luckily for us, the Murrindindi Library Service has more than 600 books and resources about Aboriginal Australia available to borrow.

"NAIDOC week provides a focus annually for us to think about Aboriginal history in our Shire, but we don't need to restrict ourselves to that week. www.murrindindi.vic.gov.au/ libraries - Contributed by Murrindindi Council

Shire looks ‘Towards 2030’ ■ Murrindindi Shire Council Acting Mayor Sandice McAulay said 'Toward 2030 - Planning our Future' is a big project with two main goals - to improve how Council and communities work together, and to improve how community groups work with one another in their locality. “"This Project aims to put communities in the driving seat to work out what is important for them and then decide what priorities to

work on in partnership with Council. This could be anything from improving sporting facilities to improving access to health or education services. It might mean working to attract new businesses or boost employment - or anything else you can think of," Cr McAulay said.

"We want to create a way that helps communities across the Shire set their own goals for the future and to achieve them.”

■ Murrindindi Shire Infrastructure and Waste Portfolio Councillor Eric Lording said Council does everything it can to ensure its roads are maintained in good condition.

Murrindindi Council maintains more than 1200 kilometres of road across the Shire. Potholes are a routine and unavoidable feature on these roads.

"However we are currently in the middle of prime pothole season as the wet weather makes our roads particularly vulnerable to damage, like potholes," Cr Lording said.

"Potholes form in patches of road where water is unable to drain away. In this weather Council can only provide temporary fixes - filling the potholes with gravel - as wet conditions make full repair works ineffective.

"Some 60 percent of Council-maintained roads are unsealed. Repairing potholes on unsealed roads involves grading (to reshape the road) and gravel replacement (to the top layer

of the road) which together are known as 'resheeting'. We are simply unable to carry out these works successfully in wet conditions as the repairs don't 'set' properly and would again rapidly deteriorate.

"We understand that travelling on roads with potholes can be a nuisance, but we ask the community to drive to the conditions. By reducing your speed when travelling on vulnerable roads, the growth rate and size of corrugations and potholes can be minimised," Cr Lording said.

"Let us know if you have particular concerns about a pothole or road. Drop us a line via our website request form at www.murrindindi.vic.gov.au/requests. Or you can give us a call on 5772 0333.

"VicRoads manages a large number of roads in our Shire, including the major highways that connect our towns. You should talk to VicRoads to lodge your concern about potholes on those roads,” Cr Lording said.

Local Briefs Fox baiting ■ Twenty landowners participating in the King Parrot Catchment Fox Control Project took part in our Autumn fox baiting program.

A total of 172 Foxoff baits were taken over the duration of the baiting program which means that the program has potentially removed up to 172 foxes from the area.

During this time DELWP hasalso been coordinating their fox trapping program in the adjoining state forest areas around Strath Creek.

So far they have trapped 12 foxes (plus 11 feral cats); and the Bhave also been running their annual fox drives over the last couple of months and have shot a total of 53 foxes on neighbouring farms.

Bank’s record

■ The Yea Community Bank has, to date, donated $180,000 to the community, Mayor Cr Charlie Bisset told last month’s Council meeting.

Cr Bisset, with Deputy Mayor Cr Sandice McAulay, and Cr Bec Bowles, attended the Bank’s community forum.

The bank has an ATM in Eildon, and an agency in Alexandra.

Dindi Bulk Buy

■ About 60 people attended the launch of the Dindi Bulk Buy scheme, part of the partnership between the Yarra Energy Foundation and Murrindindi Council. The launch was held at the Yea Shire Hall.

New meeting date

■ The Country Fire Authority has yet to announce a new meeting date for the public to discuss the possible merger of the rural and urban fire units in Alexandra. The July 2 meeting was postponed after unit volunteers had attended a fatal accident in the township on the previous day.

Lake Mtn. freezing

■ Temperatures at Lake Mountain, near Marysville, are expected to be as low as -4° tomorrow (Thurs.) and -5° on Friday (July 20). Saturday is to be see an expected high temperature of 2°.

Letter to the Editor Water supply debate at W.Glen Sir, We live in Wattle Glen, Lorimer Road.

Yarra Valley Water contacted us four residents in 2014, informing us the water pipes leading to our properties were private trunklines, maintenance and replacement were therefore the residents’ responsibility.

Yarra Valley Water has maintained the pipelines since 1995 when they took over from Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works.

According to YVW, an asset register from 1982 shows water mains in Kangaroo Ground-Wattle Glen Road but not Lorimer Road.

Lorimer Road is an unmade public road.

The waterlines are on council land and are prone to damage, for example when council carries out works in the area or cars park over the waterpipes.

The pipes are 40-odd years old and need replacing, which, according to YVW will cost the residents between $73,500 and $87,000.

Why should we, as residents, be made responsible for an asset we never knew we had and have no control over?

Where is a written agreement, proof of ownership? and why was the “asset” maintained by the water authorities up to now?

We love where we live, but this saga hangs over our heads, specially us retirees (two households). Where is justice – do we have a chance fighting?

- Rosemarie Frieden 37 Lorimer Rd, Wattle Glen

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.

World-class cinematographer hits WeHo ■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.

Benefits of laughter

Crawfords to the world

■ With over 40 years in the industry, David Connell got his start at 17 as a film loader working for the Australian production company Crawford Productions.

As that company grew, so did the demand for personnel, so at 19 David became the cinematographer on a top rating TV series, which led to the HBO mini-series The Rivers Run. At 24 he photographed his first Hollywood movie, The Aviator. Flying between the USA, Australia, Asia and Europe, David has photographed more than 20 feature films, 20 miniseries, 20 TV movies, 10 TV series, and over 10 pilots.

David has won numerous awards along the way including a cable A.C.E. award. David began his relationship with Electric Entertainment over 12 years ago shooting the miniseries The Triangle in South Africa.

Since then, he has worked with Electric Entertainment on numerous pilots, all five seasons of the hit show Leverage, four seasons of The Librarians, and the Dean Devlin helmed feature movie Bad Samaritan.

● Pictured at a film industry lunch at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood was Cinematographer, David Connell with the Managing Director Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites, Alan Johnson.

‘Even more shocking’ ■ Chris Hemsworth says Avengers 4 is 'even more shocking' than Infinity War: Marvel fans may still be reeling from the climactic events of Avengers: Infinity War, but they won't have to wait long to find resolution.

The fourth (and technically still untitled) Avengers movie is due out May 3, 2019.

And according to franchise star Chris Hemsworth, it's a doozy. "If you were shocked by [Infinity War], I think the second one is even more shocking, for other reasons entirely," Hemsworth said.

"That's what kind of blew me away the first time I read both scripts, is how they managed to orchestrate so many different characters but give them each their own separate shot and moments, and have it be elevated and feel fresh and unique not just like a messy, thrown-together assembly of these guys."

Rapper charged ■ Trey Songz is being sued by a Detroit cop who says the rapper punched him in the face with a closed fist.

Sgt. Avery arrested Trey, tried to take him into custody when he says Trey fought him and struck him in the face.

The officer fell to the ground and hit his head on the concrete.

Trey was arrested and charged with assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer as well as aggravated assault.

He pled guilty to two counts of disturbing the peace.

Johnny Depp puzzle ■ Photographs of Johnny Depp posing with fans in Russia over the last week have sparked fears among some that the actor is 'ill'.

Depp, 54, happily posed for two photographs with female fans before setting off for a performance with his band, The Hollywood Vampires.

The photographs were taken at the Four Seasons Hotel in St Petersburg. The band performed in the city last week after playing in Moscow two nights earlier.

The women shared them excitedly on social media afterwards but, among comments from other fans that told them how lucky they were to have met their idol, there were concerns over Depp's appearance.

Trump cuts paryoll ■ The US Federal Government cut 3000 jobs in May and federal employment has now dropped by 24,000 since President Donald Trump took office, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Even as Federal Government jobs were declining, overall employment was increasing-as was employment in state and local government. In April, there were 2,789,000 people employed in civilian federal government jobs.

In May, that declined to 2,786,000, a drop of 3000. In December 2016, the month before Trump took office, there were 2,810,000 civilians employed in the federal government. That has now dropped by 24,000 to the current 2,786,000

■ Psychologist Jack Panksepp first observed laughing rats in the 1990s; he needed special equipment to hear it, as rats' laughs are very high pitched.

■ Laughter Is Contagious: The saying "laugh and the whole world laughs with you" is more than just an expression: laughter really is contagious. The sound of laughter triggers regions in the pre motor cortical region of your brain, which is involved in moving your facial muscles to correspond with sound and prepare to join in.

■ Laughing Burns Calories: Laughing raises both your energy expenditure and heart rate by about 10 percent to 20 percent. This means you could burn about 10-40 calories by laughing for 10 to 15 minutes. While this sounds good in theory, you'd have to laugh solidly for an hour or more for this calorie burning to have any meaningful effect.

■ Laughing Is Good for Your Relationships: Research shows that couples who use laughter and smile when discussing a touchy subject feel better in the immediacy and report higher levels of satisfaction in their relationship. They also tend to stay together longer.

■ Laughter Really is the Best Medicine: Study after study has pointed to the health benefits of laughter. Research from Loma Linda University showed that laughing improved the memory of adults in their 60s and 70s; University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers found that hilarious movies improved the function of blood vessels and increased blood flow in a group of 20 thirty-something's. And other research has shown that laughing can improve immunity, help regulate blood sugar levels, and improve sleep.

So now you have to come over to Los Angeles and hang in West Hollywood. I can guarantee lots of laughs.

■ Wrestler, John Cena's desperate plea to get Nikki Bella back might've totally worked a month and half after calling off their engagement; the couple is working on their relationship, according to Nikki herself. Cena took the breakup hard making red carpet pleas for her, and then going on the "Today" show to profess his undying love for his ex. As he put it, "I want to be the father of her children. I just want us to work."

Boxer Floyd Mayweather says he's super proud of his son, Koraun, for graduating high school last week since it's something he was never able to accomplish himself. The 18-yearold just got his diploma from West Ranch High School in Stevenson Ranch, California and Floyd was right by his side to celebrate the big moment. "I'm so proud of my son for doing something that I didn't do, and that's graduate high school."

Floyd also took his private jet to Mexico, to witness his sister getting married in Cabo. Floyd, along with several TMT staffers and bodyguards hit up the Paradisus Los Cabos resort to watch his sister, Deltricia Tawanna Howard, trade "I Dos" with her boyfriend George Forte III.

Linda is frail ■ Linda Ronstadt is heading out for a small speaking tour in Northern California in September and was already in her hometown of Tucson. But she sold her place there, and pretty much stays home in San Francisco, where her two grown children have a house in the back. For a San Francisco Chronicle piece, she invited music critic Joel Selvin over for an update on how it's going living with the Parkinson's that took her singing voice. At age 71 she does go out, "but I have to be very selective about what I do." ● Chris Hemsworth

So, it’s off to court ■ George Michael's ex has joined the battle for a slice of the late superstar's millions.

The Careless Whisper star, who died in December 2016, left his $140 million fortune and properties to sisters Melanie and Yioda.

But Kenny Goss, 59, Michael’s former partner of 15 years, is claiming a large portion of his estate on the grounds he helped the troubled singer through hard times.

The Whittlesea Story: Part 15

Whittlesea township had 5 hotels Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea.

From ‘The Plenty’

by J.W. Payne, 1975.

■ Inquiry was made “as to when it will be convenient for the Lord Bishop to open the Church at Whittlesea”.

The reply came: “3pm, on Sunday, February 26, the Lord Bishop will stay with Mr John Sherwin”.

Last minute preparations were made: “Mr George Sherwin to buy a 208 lb bell for £20-15-0” and a later note: “The bell has arrived, and Mr Lindsay has undertaken to hang it”.

Directions to the Bishop to reach Mr John Sherwin’s: “Take the Merriang Road, it branches from the Plenty Road about six miles from town.”

“The new Church of England at Whittlesea was opened for Divine Service on Sunday 26 instant by the Bishop of Melbourne who preached from St John Chapter V verse 6,” said a report in The Argus.

“There was a large parochial gathering at the schroom on Monday, when it was thought necessary to adjourn to the church, the school not being large enough to hold so many people ... the Bishop made a long speech tracing the efforts that had been made by members of the Church of England in the district since the time of his first visit soon after Black Thursday.”

It was then proposed by Mr John Sherwin and seconded by Mr David Johnston: “That a subscription list be opened for the purpose of erecting a plain tablet in the church in memory of the late Rev. William Copeland, and £28 was handed in after benediction.” ★ Several creeks join the Plenty River in the centre of Whittlesea and the immediate area is reserved as parklande.

Between Forest Street and the Plenty River higher ground permits of alternate use.

On November 19, 1866, the southern portion of this land was gazetted as a Cricket Ground.

The adjoining area to the north was for many years the showgrounds until it became insufficient for the purpose.

Again to the north a site was reserved for a solid brick Methodist Church opened in 1870.

Two years later, on July 29, 1872, the northernmost piece of land in this section (where the Catholic Church now stands) was reserved as a site for a Town Hall.

Between this latter site and the Methodist Church, the Mechanics Institute was built.

The Court House, meeting place of the DRB, and the scene of the forst meeting of the WSC was built in 1862.

At least three of Whittlesea’s five hotel were destroyed by fire. The first was Wishart’s Prince of Wales Hotel. It was reported on March 1, 1866, “to be rebuilt, lately burned down”.

John Wishart rebuilt thisw time in brick and of two storeys. The Prince of Wales’ crest (three feathers) is still visible on the corner of Church and Beech Streets.

He also erected a two storeyed dwelling in Church Street opposite the site of the State Savings Bank.

Alongside was his draper’s shop, the first in Whittlesea.

Horse racing had been held on Boxing Day in Mr Wilson’s paddock beside the Plenty River (just south of the township) from at least 1860.

A.E. Robinson and Coffee who began the store owned by Mitchells, promoted an extra race meeting on April 25, 1892, followed by a concert in the Mechanics Institute with artists from the Bijou and Theatre Royal.

The day was a huge success but next year saw bank failures and no one thought of entertainment.

The bankers for the WSC, the ES&A Chartered Bank, closed their doors and Council was temporarily inconvenienced.

Around this period many of the district pioneers died.

David Johnston’s death in 1893 posed a dilemma: as a Warden of Christ Church and a foundation member of that Church, was he to be remembered by a tavlet placed on the church walls?

At a special meeting of the congregation, one faction moved “That a tablet be erected.”

The opposing faction moved “That no tablet of any description be erected in the church.”

A collection to defray the cost of the tablet was taken up by Miss L.B. Sherwin and Miss M.H. Graham but letters in the local paper denounced their actions stating that they had no right to impose their opinions on the church members seeing they only attended church for weddings.

So much discussion was caused that the proposal was allowed to lapse.

In this period the Parish of Christ Church extended over many mailes.

To the tolling of the mellow bell, people rode, drove or walked from as far distant as Arthur’s Creek, Yan Yean, even Wollert to 11am service.

Lunch was taken beside the church and, after Sunday School at 2.0pm, the distant congregation left for home.

By 1895 any thoughts of a Town Hall for Whittlesea had been dispelled and the reserved site went to the Catholic Church authorities.

Due largely the efforts of Miss Walsh who collected untiringly, the Church was erected and freed from debt.

Fr O’Callaghan was the first Priest in charge and it was then part of the Heidelberg Parish.

Later in 1910, it was transferred to Epping Parish.

Fr O’Neill later Priest in charge at Epping, was the son of an old Whittlesea scholar, Una Conroy who married Frank O’Neill.

In 1906 after some years without a doctor in the township, Dr A. Cephas Day showed interest in establishing a practice but could find no suitable accommodation.

The townspeople combined to fund and erect a residence and surgery on the north side of Whittlesea Hotel.

Dr Day, and later, his son, provided medical care to the townuntil a clinic was established.

The former residence and surgery was pulled down in 1974. ● 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: AMERICAN PASTORAL: Genre: Crime/Drama.

Cast: Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly, Dakota Fanning, Peter Riegert, David Strathairn.

Details: 2016.

Rating: M. Length: 108 Minutes.

Stars: *** Verdict: The story of a small American town college star and his beauty queen wife watch their seemingly perfect life fall apart as their rebellious daughter joins the political and racial turmoil of '60s America.

Based on the novel by Philip Roth (Goodbye-Columbus, Portnoy's Complaint), what has compelled readers of the book and must of looked good on paper to the studio regretfully does not transfer to the screen in any major satisfactory or lasting way.

However, the film does have a heart, as star Ewan McGregor, making his directorial debut after Philip Noyce departed the project, does an amiable job both on screen as the tormented father, while behind the camera as director, attempting to reach its racially boiling core of the period and the tragic events of a radicalized daughter.

Oscar winner Jennifer Connelly also delivers a solid and respectful performance as the equally tormented mother on an emotionally downward spiral housewife, as do Peter Riegart (as the father of Ewan McGregor) and Dakota Fanning as the bitter and rebellious daughter at its centre.

The flaws here lie in its emotional unevenness, lack of clarity and emotion grip, along with failure to totally convince, stimulate or provoke, never coming alive, an all-too obvious flaw being McGregor's attempted American accent, and smoothing over too many important multi-layered issues of a family and through one of the most tumultuous periods in post-WWII history.

Overall, what could have been a powerful American tragedy remains an inferior and all to ambiguous melodrama.

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 his business and house on the line, all while his family await 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 an effective performance as the troubled and tormented sailor with dreams and aspirations and a shot a glory that go far beyond the horizon.

Not without its flaws, seemingly rushed and lacking any firm footing or form of emotional grip and tension, this is nonetheless a fascinating and fairly thought provoking journey that will no doubt raise more questions than answers.

Beautifully filmed (by Eric Gautier) and with superb late 1960s period detail, 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, in this addition to a long list of 'survival-at-sea' dramas.

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 grand, taut, gripping and thought provoking story of one of the last great adventures and how dreams can be turned into nightmares.

FILM: 12 STRONG: Genre: War/Drama.

Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Pena, William Fichtner.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 129 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Verdict: Based on Doug Stanton's non-fiction book Horse Soldiers, "12 Strong" tells the story of the first Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan immediately after the 9/11 attacks, and under the leadership of a new captain, the team must work with an Afghan warlord to take down the Taliban.

Co-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean, Black Hawk Down, Top Gun, Pearl Harbor, Crimson Tide), if you know his work you know what you're in for, and even though there's plenty of corn on the side and ham on the bone, its heart is in the right place and makes for rousing entertainment.

The solid cast includes Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water), Michael Pena (Ant-Man) and William Fichtner (Black Hawk Down), among others, however, this show belongs to Chris Hemsworth, minus Thor's bag of tricks, as the fearless, jokey, confident and unforgiving captain of the team, and cements his star status as one of the most talented and beguiling leading men in cinema today.

Basically "Top Gun" meets "The Magnificent Seven," this 21st century war adventure, and tribute to a fearless group of men on an extraordinary mission, is exciting, rousing, surprisingly intelligent battle of wits, guns, horses, tanks and a barren landscape all designed to pump up the pulse rate and keep eyes wide open, and succeeds.

Ultimately though, like so many before it, this is an old-fashioned Hollywood-ized adventure with a charismatic lead and strong supporting cast that holds together a well made and gripping geopolitical true story, and that's what make it all worthwhile.

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.

■ When I was a young boy I loved going to the ‘Plaza’ picture theatre in Coburg to see Kathryn Grayson playing opposite leading men such as Howard Keel, Mario Lanza and Mickey Rooney.

I was in awe of Kathryn Grayson because of her beauty and wonderful singing voice.

Who would have believed, that in later years, I would see her live onstage with Van Johnson in a show titled Red Socks and Roses and then to do a telephone radio interview with this Hollywood legend?

Zelma Kathryn Elisabeth Hedrick was born in North Carolina in 1922 and grew up to be a coloratura soprano.

Louis B. Mayer heard her sing and put the young teenager under contract to MGM Studios, without a screen test.

In 1941 she became Kathryn Grayson and made her screen debut opposite Mickey Rooney in Andy Hardy's Private Secretary.

In 1945 Kathryn starred opposite Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly in Anchors Aweigh she told me that Frank was great but Gene Kelly was difficult.

Gene would ask them to stay back and do lines with him for his close-ups, but when it came time for their close-ups Gene was nowhere to be seen.

Kathryn spoke highly of Mario Lanza and they were great friends. When Mario and his wife were waiting for their new house to be finished in Beverly Hills, they stayed with Kathryn

for several months. Kathryn was under contract at MGM Studios for 15 years and during that time and made 20 films.

She co-starred in two musicals with Mario Lanza - That Midnight Kiss and The Toast of New Orleans.

When I spoke to Kathryn she told me that Howard Keel was actually a room mate of her brother long before they starred in the film version of Showboat together.

Howard went to England and a MGM talent scout brought him back to America thinking he was English.

Kathryn could see the funny side, there she was, starring opposite her brother's friend.

In 1953 they teamed again to make Kiss Me

Kate and remained good friends till the passing of Howard Keel in 2004.

Kathryn appeared in many stage musicals after her film career finished and toured with productions of Showboat, Kiss Me Kate and The Merry Widow.

In 1962, Kathryn replaced Julie Andrews in Camelot on Broadway and played the role o Queen Guinevere.

She had a lifelong dream of being an opera star, and she appeared number of operas , such as La Boheme, Madame Butterfly, Orpheus in the Underworld and La Traviata.

In 1987 Kathryn Grayson toured America in the stage comedy Noises Off. Kathryn was married twice firstly to John Shelton in 1941 then to Johnny Johnson in 1947 - both marriages ended in divorce.

Story of Ma Baker, meanest cat from old Chicago town ■ There’s a quaint old two-storey weatherboarder in Marion County in USA’s Florida that’s stood largely empty since it was built back in 1930, but when it opens as a museum early next year its sure to draw visitors in their hundreds of thousands, all of them curious about one of the most infamous crime families in American history.

Because the mother and 31-yearold youngest son of that family rented the house and died there in a blazing shoot-out with 15 FBI agents in January of 1935, a gun-battle that’s still recognised today as the longest shootout in FBI history.

In total more than 1500 rifle, machine gun and pistol shots were exchanged over four hours, until silence fell and mother and son were found dead amid their arsenal of weapons in an upstairs bedroom bolt-hole.

That gun-toting mother was Arizona ‘Arrie”’Clark, better known publicly as Ma Barker, and her son was the murderer, kidnapper and bank robber, Fred Barker.

Ma’s other three sons and another crim they’d ganged-up with, Alvin ‘Creepy’ Karpis were also living at the house, but luckily for them had gone off elsewhere earlier that morning.

And today many students of crime are saying that Ma was not really the criminal she’s long been painted to be, and that FBI chief, J. Edgar Hoover had portrayed her as Public Enemy No 1 with “the most vicious, dangerous and resourceful criminal brain of the last decade,” as a cover for his agents having shot dead the 62-yearold woman in that one-sided 15-to-2 person shoot-out.

Plus a major crim of the time noted in his autobiography that Ma Barker never took part in any crimes, but simply provided support to her sons as “she couldn’t plan breakfast, let alone a criminal enterprise.”

Now Ma Barker’s house has been acquired by Marion County that’s moved it to a new site on their Carney Island recreational area in Lake Weir.

And it’s still furnished exactly as it was when Ma and her family lived there – photos taken by the FBI in 1935 after the shoot-out showing all the same furniture and fittings precisely as they are in the house today.

OK. With John O’Keefe Advertisers abandon MMM

■ The fall out from the disgusting on-air remarks by Barry Hall on Triple M has resulted in at least two sponsors pulling the plug on sizeable contracts.

Another eight advertisers are weighing up their options. The incident could cost Triple M tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue.

Not happy, Barry.

Cutbacks at the ABC

■ One of the slash and burn programs at the ABC is The Checkout. The seventh season will not be proceeding which is a bummer as the program was most informative with segments delivered in a most entertaining way .

Shannon off his trolley

■ Shannon Noll lost his cool when a patron tossed a can at Noll while he was on stage performing at The Duck Creek Picnic Races.

The tirade that followed from Noll is unprintable, and considerably worse than anything that has ever emerged from Barry Hall's mouth.

Noll has since apologised to his Duck Creek fans.

O’Keefe clan sticks together

■ The O'Keefe clan sticks together. Versatile entertainer Andrew O'Keefe is soon to perform a tribute show to his uncle Johnny O'Keefe.

Andrew's show is a 'must see' at The Palms at Crown, August 19-20.

Andrew describes his uncle as “the wildest person in my life”.

Everest update

■ In the light of another brilliant win, rising four year-old Nature Strip has come right into calculations for Australia's richest race, the Everest, to be run in Sydney in October.

The son of Nicconi ,having only his ninth start, once again won easily after being under a tight hold in the A.R.Creswick Final at Flemington, this caused his price for the Everest to be cut from 25/1 into $10.

Although the field appeared inferior he was never going to get beaten ala his previous start.

When he won two starts back, again up the straight six at Flemington, he was under double wraps as he coasted to victory.

The most amazing thing about his win is that he was only a half- length outside the track record.

After seeing his last run leading trainer, Lee Freedman, now residing overseas says like I mentioned last week it was a big ask, against the best sprinters in Australia, most of who would their own in world circles.

However his trainer, Darren Weir disagrees and says he is definitely Group One Class.

In early markets the very smart young sprinter, Trapeze Artist is the favourite.

Prepared by leading Sydney trainer, Gerald Ryan, he looks the one to beat, but like everything in racing the barrier draw is so important.

The rising four-year-old won the All Aged Stakes in great fashion beating the likes of Le Romain, Showtime, Hartnell and Brave Smash in great style.

On the second line is the winner of the inaugural Everest, Redzel, rated at one stage as the best sprinter in the world.

He is in the powerful stable of Peter and Paul Snowden, and on his day is the one to beat again.

Molong, pet-friendly town ■ John Rozentals finds a truly outstanding cabernet sauvignon from the Canberra region.

Graeme Shaw was selling wine in China when I called into his winery at Murrumbateman, near Canberra, but I did manage to have dinner at its restaurant Olleyville with his wife Ann and their daughter Tanya Olinder.

Among the wines that I tried was the Shaw Vineyard Estate 2014 Reserve Merriman Shiraz, named after pioneering local grazier George Merriman who in the 1800s owned part of the land now planted to the estate.

The name is reserved for the vineyard's best red of the year and the latest wine to receive the honour has just been released - the Shaw Vineyard Estate 2015 Reserve Merriman Cabernet Sauvignon.

The wine comes with impeccable credentials, having won five trophies on the circuit - two from the 2017 Australian Cool-Climate Wine Show, one from the 2017 International Cool-Climate Wine, and two from 2018 International Wine Challenge, where is was voted the best cabernet in Australia.

That it came in ahead of the best reds from renowned cabernet areas such as Coonawarra and Margaret River says much about its quality.

The 2015 vintage was apparently the best in the Canberra region since grapes were planted there in the 1970s, with near-

$50,000 funds for Seymour

■ Seymour Business and Tourism are recipients of funding from Regional Development Victoria with support from Northern Victoria MLC, Jaclyn Symes.

The funding will help promote Seymour this Spring.

President Stuart Locke says “Our members all know how wonderful Seymour is to live and work in and there’s no better time in our glorious town than during Spring.

“It’s not just because the weather here is amazing there’s also so much to see and do at this time of year.

“During Spring our community comes out from winter hibernation and puts on so many great events and shows that it just felt right to properly showcase all we have to offer to visitors and communities in our region.

“Most people are aware of the success of our bigger events such as the Great Seymour Show Off and Tastes of the Goulburn but it has blown me away when I list how many other businesses, groups and clubs put on other wonderful events during Spring.

“We should really celebrate all of these activities and help share the opportunities they bring to our town.

“This grant will allow us to showcase whatever happens between September through to November in an inclusive way.”

“The grant funding allocated is $50,000 from the Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund, Stronger Regional Communities Plan with a portion of the funding going towards the Tastes of the Goulburn and the Seymour Historical Society’s 175 Anniversary celebrations.

“The funding will be used to create a tourism booklet titled ‘Seymour in Spring a festival of events’ which will showcase without discrimination all community based and commercial events and provide information about the Seymour region.

“Free promotion of events and activities throughout Spring in Seymour and surrounds is what is on offer.

“The intention is to celebrate everything Seymour has to offer and the liveability of the town. Funds will also be put towards a dedicated website, event marketing, branding, banners, photography and social media training.

“Seymour has always had a strong association with it’s neighbouring towns of Avenel, Hilldene, Highlands, Mangalore, Puckapunyal, Trawool, Tallarook and Tooborac, most of which were previously part of the Rural City of Seymour and so activities from these towns will be included in the Seymour in Spring Festival,” Mr Locke said.

Local History

Where was Higginbotham township?

■ A talk about the probable location of the Higginbotham township will be given this Sunday (July 22) at a family day at the Murrindindi Community Hub. An article in the Australian National Placenames Survey newsletter suggests three possible locations, some distance from the George Higginbotham Mine, near the Murrindindi River.

Nigel Sinnott, with Clem Earp, published these comments in June 2006: “When researching a book about placenames in the upper Goulburn River area of northeast central Victoria (published as PlaceNames of the Alexandra, Lake Eildon and Big River Area of Victoria, Alexandra: Friends of the Library, 2003), one of the sources I consulted was James Flett’s The History of Gold Discovery in Victoria (Melbourne, 1970).

“On page 116 I came across the following paragraph: ‘Early in 1866 rich reefs were discovered at what was originally called New Chum, up the Murrundindi River about 10 miles from Yea, and there was a rush prospected by McLeish and party in 1868.

‘In 1869 the mining village, where there was a club and a theatre, changed its name to Higginbotham, after a reefer named George Higginbotham.’

“The McLeish family is mentioned several times in The Story of Yea (1973, 2001) by Harvey Blanks, and there was a single reference to the Higginbotham Prospecting and Gold Mining Company, of which John Wishart Cairns was a director, but there was no mention of the village.

“I therefore consulted Les Blake’s Place Names of Victoria.

(Adelaide, 1977; microfiche edn, Hampton, Vic, 1987), where I found the following entry: “Higginbotham: Former goldfield settlement by Murrindindi Ri., 16 km fr. Yea, 1869; named after digger George Higginbotham; fr. 1866 when gold first found there, called New Chum.

“Now I was aware that Place Names of Victoria could very often be unreliable, but on this occasion Blake had apparently taken all his information from Flett, and Flett had given three references for what he had written: ■ Mining Registrars’ Reports (quarterly) for March 1866, (p. 47), September 1868 and March 1869.

● ● ● ●

● Possible locations of the Higginbotham township in a map prepared by Clem Earp “I also consulted my 1:25000 sur- Murrindindi River from Yea. (There vey maps of the Murrindindi River. was another New Chum near On the Murrindindi (8023-3-4) map Healesville.)

I soon found the Higginbotham Mine “In 1869 it was renamed after gold (grid ref. 55H CU710699) marked miner George Higginbotham (Flett, beside an unnamed watercourse that 1970; L. Blake). emptied into the Murrindindi River.

“Most writers imply that the settle“The mine lay between two ridges ment was on the Murrindindi River, that carried Grants Track and but it is more likely to have been on Beatsons Track, and there was also Higginbotham Creek near the Higginbotham Track nearby.

Higginbotham Mine.

“The name Grants Track should “I thought no more about this perhaps have made me cautious, but ghost town until 2004, when I heard otherwise I had no ground for suspi- from Clem Earp, who had been delvcion. ing into the history of gold mining in “I bestowed upon the unnamed the Yea area. watercourse the provisional name of “He had examined various MinHigginbotham Creek, then wrote an ing Registrars’ reports and other entry for the settlement, based sources, and sent me copies of them, largely on Flett and Blake, but with as he was very dubious about Flett’s a suggestion of my own about the conclusions.

“The early records consistently location: “Higginbotham. Former mining refer to Higinbotham, not ‘Higginvillage. After a gold discovery in botham’, and in December 1868 1866, a settlement called New Chum Registrar James W. Osborn arose about 16 km up the (Kilmore Division) refers to ‘Higinbotham, Murrindindi Creek’, so the settlement could not have been renamed in 1869.

“In June 1869 Osborne refers to ■ A letter to the Editor of the Alexandra and Yea Standard on Janaury ‘Higinbotham, about twelve miles 16, 1880, talks of the Higginbotham Mine and its proximity to Yea: “Sir,- It is perhaps unknown to you that there are a numnbr of reefs at S.E. from Yea’, and adds ‘The a place called Higginbotham within 7 miles of the township of Yea, one Balaclava, George Higinbotham, and Galatea, are the principal lines beor two of which reefs went:from 5 to 7oz per ton.

“One in particular, called Cumberland Jack Reef, went well, and is ing worked’.

“Clem Earp also told me that, ‘As believed to be one of the best reefs in the Upper Goulburn sistrict; it only to Flett’s statements about the size requires development. of the settlement, that it had a dance “Other reefs, nearly adjoining, will also pay well now, as the quartz could be crushed for at least one half less than they used to cost, as Mr hall, etc., and that it was named after Cairns has a crushing plant and water wheel on the ground, so that the a “reefer” (Blake: “miner”) named George Higginbotham, for all of crushing could be. done very economically.

“In fact, the owner of the machine will undertake to crush a trial of 10 which he cites as source the report tons free to any prospectors, so that there is hero a good prospect for any of March 1869, there is no mention party of energetic practical miners; besides, I am informed that a party of whatever of any of those things in good men would meet with substantial support from the business people that report, or in any subsequent one.

“I think we have to regard Flett’s of the township.

“This suggestion is a valuable one, and if acted on by men who mean citation as being in error’ (letter of work, there is no doubt a sure independence is in the very probable May 17, 2004).

“By this stage we both suspected .future. By giving this a corner in your next issue, you will oblige.”

Yours faithfully. PERSEVERANCE. that the names Grants Track and Higinbotham with a single G were

‘7 miles from Yea township’

linked, and why. Then Clem Earp looked through the Alexandra Times for November 6, 1868, and spotted an announcement, under the heading Higinbotham, that: “About three miles on the Yea side of the township a new reef was found about two weeks ago; it has been called the “George Higinbotham.”

“The adjoining claim has been christened the “James Macpherson Grant,” and No. 3 North is named the “Constitutionalist,” to represent the opposition party.’

“Grant (1822-85) was the radical member of parliament after whom Grant Street, Alexandra, was named, and he had a staunch ally in chief justice and attorney general George Higinbotham (1826-92), champion of land reform, smallholders, working people and votes for women.

“Had Flett perhaps made a note about the George Higinbotham Reef and later misread the last word as ‘reefer’?

“A letter in the Alexandra Times of July 17, 1868, published the name for the first time and proudly declared ‘You will perceive we are Loyal Liberals’.

“This was the political party of Higinbotham and Grant.

“The letter enabled Clem Earp to track down a petition in the Public Records Office (PROV VPRS 242/ P0, Unit 1, 1868/R8844) that clarifies the naming of the settlement: Murrindindi Creek, Yea. To the Honorable The Commissioner of Lands Sir, At a meeting held by the residents of this place here this 9th day of July 1868, the following resolution was passed viz.

‘Resolved that the Chairman of this meeting be requested to forward to the proper Department of the Government his our petition praying, that the name of the Township forming here, be called Higinbotham’.

‘Requesting an early answer on behalf of the meeting I beg to remain Your Humble & obedient Servant Eli Taylor Cockburn Chairman of the Meeting “It is now fairly clear that the settlement was never called New Chum, but what and where was New Chum (Creek), as distinct from a locality and watercourse with the same name (flourished 1864) about thirty kilometres south (as the crow flies) at Healesville West?

“References such as ‘the junction on Newchum and Muddy Creeks’ (Mining Surveyors’ Reports, Jan. 1860), ‘Murrendendie [sic] or New Chum Creek, near Yea’ (Mining Registrars’ Reports, March 31, 1866) and ‘at New-chum Creek and Murrindindi Creek’ (M.R.R., March 1870) make it very uncertain whether New Chum Creek was the watercourse or gully flowing past the Higinbotham Mine into the Murrindindi River (formerly Creek) or simply an alternative name for the Murrindindi River itself, a tributary of the Yea River (formerly Muddy Creek).

“Clem Earp has commented: ‘Looking over the various references to New Chum, it appears to me that few actually refer to New Chum Creek, most just say New Chum, leading me to suspect that the Murrindindi River has been carelessly attributed with the name of the

prospecting claim’ (letter, Dec. 20, 2005).

“Old references to the distance of Higinbotham settlement from the town of Yea give 9, 10 and 12 miles, so in today’s measurements we have a range of about 14.5 to 19.5 kilometres.

“So where was the village? The most likely site, given what is known so far, is where the creek or gully from the Higinbotham Mine joins the Murrindindi River.

“This is about 14 kilometres by today’s roads from Yea. “Another possibility would be a little further up the Murrindindi River, at either the original or new site of the old Murrindindi Hall, roughly 17.5 kilometres by road from Yea. “Least likely, because of the distance from Yea (23.5 km), but no less intriguing, is an area marked on a map of May 9, 1868, for the proposed Alexandra-Whittlesea road (Department of Land Information Historical Maps, New Roads 431, microfiche) as a township reserve in the parish of Woodbourne at the confluence of Murrindindi Creek (River) and Ault Beag Creek. “(The second name is Gaelic, but has been corrupted on recent maps to Ault Beeac Creek.).

“The location is known today as Myles Bridge, about a kilometre east of the straggling settlement of Woodbourne.

“Searches kindly undertaken by Judith Scurfield (Map Room, State Library of Victoria) and Clem Earp have revealed no map of the shortlived settlement of Higinbotham.

“It may never have been surveyed. We can, however, be reasonably certain that the place was not named after a miner called George ‘Higginbotham’.”

1868 report offers clues ■ On November 24, 1868, The Alexandra Times published this report “From Our Own Correspodent’ about HIgginbotham: “Since my last letter, a considerable portion of our population has started off for Spring Creek (the new rush), still matters are assuming a permanent and settled state.

“The first crushing from the Higinbotham reef gave 4 oz to the ton. There is a large body of stone and every prospect of this reef turning out one of the best in the district.

“The Balaclava prospecting claim is just about to commeuce crushing. It is expected to yield 6 oz per ton, as No. 1 of same reef gave 6 oz, and the prospecting claim looks even better.

“The Galatea continues to get out good payable stone.

“There is much dissatisfaction existing about the crushing machine here. The machine consists of a portable engine with a battery of six stampers, and very much out of repair.

“Repeated complaints have been made to Mr Munro, the proprietor, but his only reply is that he has not yet realised his own money, and refuses to spend more.”

YEA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT SENIORS Yea 10.7 (67) defeated by Yarra Junction 13.13 (91) Yea missed a golden opportunity to put away Yarra Junction, succumbing to a 24-point loss at the Recreation Reserve.

A win would have seen the Tigers go level with the Eagles on points and just percentage shy of third spot on the ladder, yet it wasn't to be as the visitors walked away with breathing space heading into the business end of the season.

It was a frenetic start to the contest, with Yarra Junction controlling the first 10 minutes before Yea gained the ascendancy late, leaving the scores all tied up at 4.3 (27) apiece at quarter time.

However, when Xavier O'Dwyer was sent off in the second term, the Eagles stamped their authority on the game with a five-goal burst to open up 29-point half-time advantage.

The Tigers outscored their opponents in the third quarter and closed the gap to less than four goals but failed to land a decisive blow before the match fizzled out in the final term.

The hosts' midfield was excellent, led by Riley Aldous, Adrian McCarthy and Harrison Jarvie, while Josh Caroll, Michael Curcio and Julian Mahon all chipped in with two goals, Ash Walsh offered good direction across half back and the combination of Carroll and Brad Clements worked tirelessly in the ruck to negate Eagles big man Troy Armstrong.

Losing Chris Graham to a hamstring early in the contest was a serious blow, leaving the Tigers without their leading goalkicker and down a rotation.

Yea have the toughest road trip in the competition this week when they travel to take on ladder leaders Seville.

Goalkickers: J. Carroll 2, J. Mahon 2, M. Curcio 2, D. Evans, A. McCarthy, R. Aldous, A. Chisholm.

Best Players: R. Aldous, H. Jarvie, A. McCarthy, A. Walsh, B. Clements, J. Carroll.

YEA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT RESERVES

Yea 4.3 (27) defeated by Yarra Junction 8.8 (56) Yea has surrendered first position on the ladder following a 29-point defeat in a top-of-thetable clash with new ladder leaders Yarra Junction.

The Tigers just never looked quite in the contest, failed to register a goal in the first half while their opponents made the most of their opportunities forward of centre.

The visitors flexed their muscle in the second quarter with goals to zip and even though Yea put their first major on the board in the third term, the lead had ballooned out to a game high 39 points by the final break.

The home side strung together three goals in the last quarter but it was too little too late as Yarra Junction ran out comfortable victors.

Ben Middleton played his best for the season and gave great drive from defence, Darcy Pell controlled the ruck and Matt Moore stepped up in a new midfield role.

Peter Kiss chimed in with two goals in his first outing of the season, while Jaryed Garlick ran hard and Eddie Neilson competed well in the middle of the ground.

The Tigers head to Seville on Saturday, who will be desperate to get a win and force their way into the top five.

Goalkickers: P. Kiss,T. Butterworth, D. Clue, T. McMahon.

Best Players: B. Middleton, D. Pell, M. Moore, J. Garlick, L. White, E. Neilson.

NETBALL

A-GRADE Yea scored a solid win in a physical match against B on Saturday. Yea started really strongly jumping away to a very quick lead scoring freely and quickly. Junction then upped their physicality and matched Yea later in the quarter but still trailed the Tigers 8-19 at quarter time.

The second quarter belonged to the Tigers, the defensive work of all players on court creating numerous errors from Junction and the Tigers were able to pile on 21 goals to 8 for the quarter.

A dominant second half showcased by beautiful ball movement from the Tigers resulted in another 32 goals until full time, Yea winning 7233. Playing coach Mel Martinov was absolutely brilliant in GA shooting 51 goals for the game, whilst Megan Leatham and Rachel Hickey won numerous contests in defence.

The next two weeks Yea faces Seville (third) and Kinglake (second), both on the road. The B will be super keen to put two strong performances on the board.

Yea 72 def Yarra Junction 33 Goals: M. Martinov 51, N. Watts 22.

Best: M. Martinov, M. Leatham, S. Coppinger.

B-GRADE A solid and consistent four quarters of netball produced a 47-goal victory for the B-Grade girls.

A ripping first quarter, started by two early intercepts by captain Lauren Cronk, set the tone for the game. Yea's lead was 11 by the first break and as each quarter progressed that margin grew by at least 10 every break.

Yea's ball movement was brilliant, their defensive work relentless and their attack on the ball fierce. It was perhaps their best team effort of the season and earned the praise of coach Mel at each break.

Sophie Watts and Kate Elliot were instrumental around the circle edge, their movement and feeds some of the best for the season so far.

Reggie Bell was a workhorse again at WD, annoying the hell out of her opposing players and Cindy Newcomen and Lauren Cronk were as always brilliant in defence, picking up countless intercepts and rebounds. In another scoring bonanza, Meg Sundblom shot 51 goals for the day, only missing a handful of goals for the game.

YEA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT

Yea will be out for redemption next week when they aim to reverse the one-goal loss to Seville in their last encounter.

Yea 67 def Yarra Junction 20 Goals: M. Sundblom 51, C. Hayes 16.

Best: L. Cronk, C. Hayes, K. Elliott.

C-GRADE In an extraordinary defensive effort, Yea kept Yarra Junction to just seven goals in the CGrade game, five of those coming in the first quarter.

The first quarter was quite a close contest, both teams on top in defence and minor errors

by Yea slowed their usual scoring rate, leading by just 4.

All that changed after quarter time when the Tigers really upped their game. Maggie McSpeerin's entry into the game made an instant impact and her combination with Judy Watts in the midcourt rang rings around Junction, setting up Fi Purvis and Rhi Aldous under the goal ring.

Ellie Hendry and Deb Schickerling were like a brick wall in defence and kept Junction scoreless for the quarter, the Tigers by 13 at halftime.

Jord Watts came back into Centre in the third quarter and as she has all season, her attack on the ball, no matter which team had possession was fierce, resulting in many deflections and intercepts. Sarah Lobley also entered the game at GK and her front positioning and ability to read the ball coming into attack put her in a favourable position over and over again.

Junction added just one goal for the quarter and trailed the Tiges by 20 goals.

Yea were the better team in the last quarter, in performance and attitude, keeping their heads up and just getting on with the job. Rach Normington was a standout at WD, dogged and persistent in defence mode and full of attack when the Tigers gained possession. Yea were clearly too strong and won easily.

In her 150th game for the club, Deb Schickerling was clearly best on court with a dominant defensive display.

Yea 35 def Yarra Junction 7 Goals: R. Aldous 26, F. Purvis 5, M. McSpeerin 4 Best: D. Schickerling, M. McSpeerin, R. Aldous.

D-GRADE With a couple of crucial players away and coming off another bye what the outcome of the D-Grade game was going to be was anyone’s guess.

But to their credit the Yea girls came to play and in the first quarter alone caused five held balls in Yarra Junction’s attacking end allowing part-time goaler Kristy Schaffer to have more of the ball to gain her confidence and dropping three of the team’s five.

The second quarter saw Jilly Hargreaves come on in WA out of her regular defensive roll and was just the drive the team needed and worked well with Caitlyn Broderick in C. The second was also one of the strongest for young goaler Hannah Broderick scoring all of the Tigers’ 7 goals for the quarter. Yea 12 to Yarra Junction 4.

The third quarter has typically been quiet for our D-FGraders and this week was no exception with both teams only scoring three goals a piece. The highlight was Trudy Birchall applying great defensive pressure in WD along with our ever reliable Ebony Edge in GD and leading the trio and the team Kate Broadway in GK. After some clear instruction to the goalers from Head Coach Mel Martinov at the break the fourth was Yea’s for the taking.

Tessa Walton was moved into C and played the best quarter she has all season This game was an opportunity to trial new combinations and positions and the girls took the challenge on with both hands and showed their versatility and why they are on top of the ladder coming home victors 25 to Yarra Junction’s 8.

YEA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT JUNIOR FOOTBALL UNDER 10 A nice early start for team and individual photos Sunday gave kids plenty of time to warm up and get prepared for our match against Tabilk.

We all knew the visitors would be playing hard, but Yea stepped up to win the ball at all times, good team effort all round today.

We have two more games then the season is a wrap; next weekend we hit the road to Seymour, lets make it a Tigers day out. Thank you to all team officials and parent helpers without the support from all it is difficult to have a great hit out.

Awards: Country Club award – Tom White, Tiger Bucks – Sophie Butterworth and Louis McAlpin, Royal Mail Hotel award – Shaniah Klinge.

UNDER 12 Round 12 and the sun shone for our last home game of the season. The boys were eager for a game after last weekends bye and started strong, with Yea kicking the first goal of the match in the opening minutes.

A dominant second half by Tabilk saw them kick five unanswered goals in the third, stretching the lead to 48 points at the three-quarter time break and ultimately sealing the win.

Despite the scoreboard, our boys showed great control of the footy and continue to grow as a team each week.

Final Scores: Yea 4.5 (29) def. by Tabilk 14.6 (90) Goalkickers: Sam Charles, Declan Ingham, Riley Frankcombe Awards: Country Club award – Samuel Crosbie, Tiger Bucks – Fletcher Archibald, Royal Mail Hotel award – Bradley Birchall UNDER 14 No report submitted.

JUNIOR NETBALL

UNDER 11 Captain Sienna Holdsworth-Rose 1Q. The girls were lucky to start their game with beautiful weather, the sun was shining and not a cloud (or fog) to be seen. The first goal was from some fantastic play from centre to Yea's goal end, Molly shooting first goal as a result. Tabilk's GD left the court due to injury so Bella stepped up to help out for a depleted Tabilk team. This quarter we saw lovely consistency among the Yea players.

2Q. After the ball spent the majority of time down Yea's end in the first quarter Tabilk came out strong in the second quarter. Yea's defence was strong and mid court girls worked hard to move ball to goals, by making good space and providing great options.

3Q. Yea came out with enthusiasm and it paid off with Yea intercepting Tabilk's centre pass which turned into the first goal of the quarter to Yea. Our girls played an amazing quarter, they worked hard to increase their lead.

KINGLAKE FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT RESERVES Gembrook 18.7 (115) d Kinbglake 1.5 (11) The boys were up against it from the start with a lot of boys being unavailable to the make our longest trip for the season.

Gembrook are a very good side and consistently won the ball out of the middle despite the hard work of Cameron Caine in the ruck and Rodney Pratt trying his hardest to stop the run they were getting.

Gembrook also we’re not missing at all when having shots on goal. There were a lot of promising plays from the boys and we were probably unlucky to not score more goals than what we did.

Bailey Roberts was great on the wing, Jimmy Secombe was fanatastic as was Dean Mercuri in his first game for the season.

SENIORS Gembrook 24.18.162 d Kinglake 14.5.89 The boys started well once again getting the jump in first by slamming on six to three goals but after the first quarter Gembrook scored heavily after that kicking at least 6 goals each quarter.

Their senior players which included 3 players that had experience at the highest level really lifted them. Although Jayden Butterworth did stop Firritos’ influence on the game.

Josh Nixon and Aron Burns lead from the front up forward getting four goals each.

Jayden Butterworth,Mason McAllister and Jack Hamilton all battled hard for the Lakers.

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT SATURDAY

TheAFLYarra Ranges League Round 12 of the 2018 season last Saturday saw the Rebels at Rebel Park for the second successive week this time to host Powelltown in two games of football and four games of netball, the Under 18s having a League bye.

The Showgrounds oval was in great condition although shrouded in fog until around 3pm on a typicalAlexandra winter's day.

RESERVES The Reserves were able to field a full team thanks to the commitment of four of the Under 18s who had the bye, Hayden Gilmore, Jake Keath, David Ray and Willem Woolford but the eighth placed Powelltown started the game short of numbers so Alexandra were always going to win and boost their percentage to increase their chances of a place in the finals.

Alexandra began to the hill end and five individual goal kickers got the side away to a good although inaccurate start.

Alexandra found their targets more often in the second quarter with seven goals (five to Jedd Hamill) whilst the defence was able to keep the visitors scoreless.

Alexandra evened up the on-field numbers in the third quarter but was still able to score easily to finish the efforts of the midfielders whilst the defence continued to keep out any forward movements.

Powelltown was able to score firstly a behind then a goal in the last quarter but Alexandra added another five goals to record a 152 point win 23.21(159) to 1.1 (7).

Corey Jack still seems to show the way with his reading of the play and his choices with the ball in hand, Justin Leary also used his experience to gain many possessions, Jedd Hamill (8 goals) marked strongly and kicked accurately, whilst Daniel Roper, Michael Millerand Travis Carter also played well.

Awards: Caltex $25 fuel card - Corey Jack, Alex Sportspower $20 award - Jake Keath, Grant St Grocer $20 meal - Daniel Roper, JAMMM Catering $20 meal - Justin Leary, Buxton Hotel $20 meal - Jedd Hamill.

SENIORS The Seniors included James and Sam Kidd, Daniel Rouget and Nathan Stewart to replace the injured Jacob Brereton, Patrick Ferguson, Brandon Kapakoulakis and Sam Woollard.

Alexandra began to the hill end but it was the visiting Powelltown who kicked the first goal within a minute of the start but Alexandra was quick to answer when Brayden Norris received from Tom Rouget and kicked accurately.

The Powelltown defence was soon under pressure again and Brent McDonald intercepted a pass and also goaled as Alex was starting to already look the better team in general play and Jake Steyger marked deep in the pocket and kicked a good angle goal.

Joe Daniel, who has proved a good acquisition, marked strongly but was offline before making amends with a running goal and then the long kicking Norris kicked his second goal to give the Rebels a good 28-point lead at the first change.

Powelltown kicked the first goal of the second quarter but Alexandra was playing well in general play and assisted by a "down the ground" free to Norris restored the margin halfway through the quarter.

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT

Powelltown had had their best period of play and a goal was some reward but Norris and Chris McKay, who was covering plenty of ground in his quest for the ball up forward, enabled Matt Steiner to goal from a free in the goal square.

Ben Cooper cleverly found Norris deep in the pocket and he kicked accurately, Matt Steiner in his best game for some weeks along with the consistent Steve Steiner again combined for Norris to kick his fifth goal.

Despite a late goal to the Demons, Alexandra held a 30-point lead at the main break and seemed headed for a good win but Powelltown reduced the margin to less than three goals as they started the third quarter well.

Alex was able to get the ball forward unconvincingly and a behind was the result before Matt Steiner, marking well above his head, goaled.

The defence again got on top with the dashing Conor Heaslip recovering from a rolled ankle and the Goonan brothers repelling many attacking moves.

Up forward young Nathan Stewart forwarded to Daniel for Alexandra's next goal and then Alex moved the ball from deep in defence the length of the ground and Matt Steiner kicked his third goal.

James Kidd, playing his first senior game for some time, reminded us of his accurate left foot as he passed to Daniel for a goal to give Alex a 46-point lead at the last change.

Despite coach Sam's warnings, Powelltown again cleared the ball from the centre and kicked the first goal of the quarter but Alex was quick to reply when Steyger outmarked a shorter opponent in the goal square.

Daniel finished off an attack that started in the back pocket with his fourth goal, Matt Steiner passed to Norris for the next goal and Steven Steiner marked and goaled twice within a couple of minutes to ice the game, Alexandra winning 18.6 (114) to Powelltown 8.1 (49).

Best players included Chris McKay, Steve and Matt Steiner, Conor Heaslip, Michael Whitbourn and Brayden Norris (6 goals).

The win keeps Alex in contention for a Finals berth with Gembrook- Cockatoo and Yea four points ahead on the ladder.

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.
