St Luke’s history

■ The 150th anniversary of St Luke’s Anglican Church, Yea, is being celebrated this year.

The Local Paper has a double-page feature in this week’s edition.

The first baptism to take place in St Luke’s after it became an independent parish was recorded as No 1 in the register: May 1, 1881.

The baptismee was Alice Maud Wade, of Yea, daughter of Elizabeth and William Wade, station master.

Probable first wedding in St Luke’s was celebrated on Saturday, October 11, 1868:

Mary Ann Chaplain and Charles George Knights.

The second daughter of Mr and Mrs Knights was Mrs J.A. Wil and the gateway to St Luke’s was given in memory of James Alfred Wild.

The 1968 Centenary Observance Booklet said that “probably the oldest Confirmation Certificate in existence in this parish is that held by Mr Clem Ridd ‘Charles William Ridd, confirmed at St Luke’s , April 28, 1895’.”

As at 1968, Miss F. Aldous had been playing the St Luke’s organ for 33 years Thirty children were to be confirmed in 1968.

Council removes scrap metal fee ■ Murrindindi Shire Council is removing the fee of $10 per cubic metre for dropping off scrap metal at its Resource Recovery Centres.

Infrastructure and Waste Portfolio Councillor for Murrindindi Shire Council, Eric Lording, said the charge was introduced in 2017-18 to meet the changing operational costs of metal recycling following a decline in value of scrap metal in the global markets.

"Council's Waste Services - from picking up your wheelie bins to running our Resource Recovery Centres and landfill site - operate as a separate unit of Council and are not funded from general rates income," Cr Lording said.

"The waste services and in-

frastructure available to residents and businesses in Murrindindi Shire are funded through user fees (including the waste service charge) and the sale of recyclable materials.

“This means if the income from the sale of a recovered material declines, we need to make it up elsewhere in order to fund waste services and infrastructure.

“This has been the case with household recyclables this year and was the case with scrap metal last year.

"These fees don't exist to turn a profit; they are put in place to recover costs and ensure the long-term availability of waste services to ratepayers.

“They also are intended to fund upgrades in services and

facilities over time to better meet community expectations and improve environmental outcomes.

"Happily in this case, the rebounding value of recycled steel means we are able to remove the fee for the 2018-19 year.

“So ratepayers can drop their scrap metal into any of Council's five Resource Recovery Centres at no charge.

“I encourage you all to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up scrap metal from around your homes and business," Cr Lording said.

■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish says that a Liberal State Government will support local farmers and land managers in the fight against weeds and pest animals with a new taskforce that will properly enforce laws.

"Weeds and pests like rabbits can severely impact on farm productivity. It is vital that we do everything we can to support farmers, because profitable businesses are important to the health of our community," Ms McLeish said.

An elected Liberal Government will provide an additional $6.88 million over four years in a new weeds and pest animal enforcement taskforce which will be established in Agriculture Victoria.

The taskforce will strengthen compliance with Victorian laws and will support landowners who already properly manage weeds and pest animals.

The impact of weeds is estimated to cost Australian farmers $4 billion through yield losses and product contamination across the nation each year.

Molesworth party

■ Members of the Morris family and other Molesworth friends gathered at Rosebank Aged Care, Yea, on Sunday (July 22) to celebrate the 100th birthday of local woman, Jean Mahoney. The party was organised by Therese Morris.

The Molesworthians also attended Friday’s celebrations.

Squad to form

■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish says that a Liberal Government will establish a new Livestock and Rural Crime Squad to specialise in dealing with rural crime including farm and livestock theft.

"Stock theft is becoming a huge business for criminals and its hurting hard working families on the land. That's why a Liberal Government will take action on farm and livestock thefts to help protect local businesses," Ms McLeish said.

The proposed Livestock and Rural Crime Squad will be based throughout regional Victoria with Victoria Police informing the final operational structure of the specialist unit.

The program will include the creation of 20 new specialist rural crime investigators, boosting currently dedicated rural crime police numbers by 40 per cent.

"These 20 new investigation positions will merge with the existing Livestock and Farm Crime Specialist Group and the 48 Agricultural Liaison Officers to create the new Livestock and Rural Crime Squad,"Ms McLeish said.

Across regional Victoria, instances of stock theft rose 40 per cent in 2017 and between April 2017 and March 2018 there were 232 instances of 'Burglary/Break and Enter' and 'Theft' offences recorded where livestock were stolen. Just 10 of these crimes resulted in an arrest or summons.

"A Liberal Government will send a strong message to potential criminals that if they are thinking about farm and livestock theft you will get caught and you will get punished," Ms McLeish said.

Wumindjika, G’day ■ Taungurung people were closely associated with the neighbouring tribes through language, kinship and ceremonies. They were part of an alliance with five adjoining tribes known as the Kulin Nation and shared common dreamtime ancestors and creation stories, religious beliefs and economic and social relationships.

The Taungurung world was divided into two moieties - Bundjil, the Wedge-tailed Eagle and Waang, the Crow.

Members of the tribe identified with one or the other of these moieties and this determined the pattern for marriage.

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 “walk� 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.

Aussie funny man rides again

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

Out and About

Fighting Global Boring

Maccas still No 1

■ It was a very intimate gathering of the Australians who live in Los Angeles who love Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson.

Kevin wanted to do a warm-up show as he was in Nashville recording his outrageous upcoming Christmas album and hadn't done a show for a few weeks, so my brief was to get a few blokes together to have some fun last Saturday night.

The impromptu show was held in the media room of the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites in front of the Jamie Cooper painting of the Australian Artists of the Century which was commissioned by the Variety Club Tent 77 in Victoria.

Endless spending

■ The US Federal Government collected a record $1,305,490,000,000 in individual income taxes through the first nine months of fiscal 2018 (October 2017 through June 2018), according to the Monthly Treasury Statement released.

Despite the record individual income tax collections, the Federal Government still ran a deficit of $607,099,000,000 over those same nine months, according to the Treasury statement.

The approximately $1,305,490,000,000 in individual income taxes that the Treasury collected in October through June of this fiscal year was $71,815,310,000 more (in constant June 2018 dollars) than the $1,233,674,690,000 (in constant June 2018 dollars) in individual income taxes that the Treasury collected in October through June of fiscal 2017-which was the previous record. Would be nice to have those numbers in Australia.

● Pictured after his hilarious performance Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson with the Managing Director Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites, Alan Johnson.

Mum gets inked

Restrooms get smaller

■ If the restroom on your next flight seems a bit snug, don't assume you've picked up a few pounds. US Airlines increasingly are putting smaller lavatories on their planes -- and the economics of the decision means they're probably here to stay.

As labor costs rise and fuel prices surge, airlines are taking advantage of robust travel demand to squeeze as many passengers as possible into planes.

Knee-bashing reductions to legroom and elbow-crunching cuts to seat size are well-known tactics. The latest method is to retrofit old aircraft and order new ones with svelte lavatories that allow for an extra row of seats.

Airlines say the new restrooms are just a few inches smaller than what passengers are used to.

You’re So Vain riddle

■ It has been said that You're So Vain was written about Warren Beatty, Cat Stevens and Mick Jagger but the last piece of the puzzle has now been uncovered. In the song Carly sings, Well I hear you went to Saratoga and your horse finally, won.

It can now be revealed that last weekend David Cassidy's ashes were spread over the Saratoga racetrack where he attended frequently and owned horses and raced them there in Florida.

David Cassidy lived in Fort Lauderdale and spend all of his time when not performing or recording at Saratoga Race track. A sad demise of a career, in the latter years, he had several drink driving offences and owed money to solicitors and a horse racing stable partner. After all the success in his career he died in debt.

■ Even though she never approved of her son's ink, Anthony Bourdain's mum will soon be sporting a tattoo in his memory.

A few weeks after the renowned international food guru took his own life. Gladys Bourdain said she'll be getting her late son's nickname, ‘Tony’, inked on the inside of her wrist.

Anthony Bourdain did not have narcotics in his body when he died this month, a French judicial official said. Mr. Bourdain, a New York chef, author and television correspondent whose death shook fans across the world, was found dead on June 8 in a hotel bathroom in Kaysersberg, a small village in the Alsace region of France. Police at the time ruled his death a suicide by hanging.

About an US obsession 5 Fun Facts about Americans obsession with coffee: ■ Legend has it a 9th-century Ethiopian goat herder discovered coffee by accident when he noticed how crazy the beans were making his goats.

■ New Yorkers drink almost seven times more coffee than other cities in the US. ■ Coffee is a psychoactive. And at high doses it can make you see things. It can also kill you...

■ The lethal dose of caffeine is roughly 100 cups of coffee.

■ Unlike the hip 20-something Baristas in the US, in Italy the average Barista age is 48, and it is a very respected profession.

Hot Dog! ■ According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, (yes, there is such a business.) Hollywood starlet Jayne Mansfield was named National Hot Dog Girl, early in her career. The trivia is part of a quiz hot dog lovers take on their website at hot-dog.org. The Hollywood starlet died in a tragic automobile accident 51 years ago on June 29, 1967.

US people get older

■ The median age of the U.S. population hit an all-time high of 38.0 in 2017, according to data released by the Census Bureau.

The number of people in the United States who were 100 years old or older also hit a record in 2017, according to the Census Bureau data, climbing to 86,248.

The Census Bureau each year publishes estimates of the median age and year-by-year ages of the U.S. population as of July 1 of the previous year.

"The nation as a whole experienced a median age increase from 37.2 years to 38.0 years during the period from 2010 to 2017," the Census Bureau said in a press release.

■ McDonald's has sold well over 100 billion hamburgers.

■ McDonald's serves up over 30 million chickens in Great Britain alone every year. Of this total, 60 per cen t of the chicken is important frozen from Brazil, 9 per cent comes from Thailand, and 30 per cent from Holland. Just 1 per cent of the McDonald's chicken in Great Britain comes from Great Britain.

■ In the United States alone, people eat over one billion pounds of beef at McDonald's in a year, which is 5½ million head of cattle.

■ McDonald's Corporation sells over one billion cups of coffee each year around the world. It sells 500 million cups a day in the U.S. alone.

■ McDonald's opens a new restaurant every four hours.

The Whittlesea Story: Part 16

Kinglake-W’sea tramway for timber Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea.

From ‘The Plenty’

by J.W. Payne, 1975.

■ Employment opportunities in Whittlesea enlarged in 1911, with the building a timber tramway from Kinglake to Whittlesea.

The unloading of trollies and loading of rail trucks kept a gang employed, plus the driving of the horses pulling the trollies.

The route taken from Kinglake West was on the south side of Yea Road to the bridges entering Whittlesea (Whisky Bridge and Brandy Bridge) then along Forest Street and Laurel Street to the railway good yards.

The tramway operated until 12926 by which time alternate transport for timber was available.

Three, and at times, four blacksmiths operated in the town, three, sometimes four stores, a saddler, chemist (from 1926), doctor, baker, post office, two butchers, two hotels and cafes which came and went.

Amenities slowly came.

In 1923 the MMBW proposed a water supply scheme to serve the 70 houses and 400 people but the townspeople considered the scheme too dear.

Their reactions were identical when Whittlesea Shire Council proposed a drainage scheme to cost £380 to be finasnced by a special rate to be levied on properties within the township.

Whittlesea dwellers considered the amenity would benefit the whole Shire hence the cost should be spread at least over the Whittlesea Riding.

Residents of the Shire outside the Whittlesea township area were indignant that they should be called upon to pay for Whittlesea’s exclusive comfort and the plan lay dormant until the 1950s.

Following the 1914-18 War, three memorials were erected in the township.

The first took the form of a Memorial Hall erected by the Church of England and financed largely by the sale of their two acres of land on which stood the Parochial School.

Archdeacon Hindley laid the foundation stone on February 3, 1923, and the hall was opened the following Easter.

Largely by the efforts of Cr J.H. Cornfoot and ‘Sister Mary’ Lockwood funds were raised to erect a memorial which stands facing north along Church Street.

It was unveiled in April 1926: “The soldiers’ monument in the main street is finished and awaiting the unveiling ceremony.

“It is a fine piece of work with the Digger standing ‘at ease’.On Tuesday next 20th inst. at 3pm, a monument to perpetuate the memory of fallen soldiers will be unveiled by Brigadier-General Elliot, C.B., C.M.G.., D.S.O., D.C.M. “Parliamentary representatives of the district, William Angliss M.L.C., and W.L. Russell Clark and W. Everard M’s.L.A. will attend and James McRae chief inspector will represent the Education Department.

“Children will be entertained by the committee and will be present during addresses,” said The Advertiser on April 16, 1926.

At the following June meeting of the WSC Cr Downie requested: “A soldier memorial has been erected

In latter years, amenities in the township grew. Most of the main streets were sealed with concrete footpaths, kerb and channelling, and undergrounds drains.

Sewerage was yet to come (1975), but in anticipation, the water supply had been improved.

Modern shops and three banks full blown branches no longer the part-time agencies - appeared in the main street, a clinic staffed by three doctors operated daily, a baby health centre functioned twic weekly in the Church of England hall and a Country Club with an 18-hole golf course had been constructed a few miles east of the town.

A pre-school centre which began in the RSL Hall on September 5, 1963, then operated in a new building erected by the WSC and opened on April 28, 1971.

In public transport, trains which replaced the coaches, were themselves replaced by buses and private cars.

As early as 1931, rail motors replaced steam passenger trains, in 1955 freight services were discontinued, and in 1960 passenger services ceased.

The rails were removed and some sleepers, but the railway easement was retained for possible future use.

A new form of transport became available, by air. In 1960 John M. Cox purchased ‘Comstock’, a farm along the Barber’s Creek est of Whittlesea.

In August 1964 he installed an airstrip for a friend, to Department of Civil Aviation requirements, as a private airstrip.

This was extended to 3500 feet and licensed by DCA as Class 3 in December 1970.

Two companies became associated with the airport. Whittlesea Airport was formed as a private company in 1964 to maintain the airport and its equipment.

In 1965, Whittlesea Flying School was former to effect instruction in flying - up to five full-time instructors were engaged - and arranged scenic and charter flights.

Upwards of 2000 movements of aircraft took place each month and Whittlesea was rarely free of the sound of aircraft flying overhead, either the light aircraft of the local airport, or the larger machines, both on internal or overseas flights as they pass from Melbourne to Sydney.

Whittlesea has been earmarked for development and expansion on several occasions, but to date, growth has been slow amounting to fewer than 20 new homes per year, the 1975 history reported.

“It remains a country village, it is not yet a suburb of Melbourne.” ● 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: A QUIET PLACE: Cast: Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Noah Jupe.

Genre: Drama/Horror/Thriller.

Year: 2018.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 90 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Verdict: A family of four must live their lives on a remote farm in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt purely by sound.

Slow burning post-apocalyptic outing will require patience along with respectful and devoted attention in this thriller created to make the audience an active participant in this cat & mouse game as the tension and horror slowly unfolds through silence.

Executed with simplicity and tightness, stars, real life husband and wife John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, wring a lot of blood, sweat and tears out of this effectively bound and grounded, ambitious and highly ambiguous nail-biting low budget fright fest with chilling creatures.

However, not without its flaws, even though co-star, co-writer and director John Krasinski covers an all-too familiar premise, surroundings and trappings with effective results, it relies too heavily on the repetitious jump scares as a safety net.

For older audience members and sci-fi-horror fans, "A Quiet Place" drips with ghostly reflections of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" numerous 50s, 60s and 70's offerings, as well as such filmmakers as George A. Romero, both George Pal and Steven Spielberg's variation of "War of the Worlds," Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks" and Ridley Scott's "Alien," to name a few.

As a nod or homage to the classic creature-features of the past, any predictability or cliché is a must, no contest, so for some this will pass the test with flying colours, yet, make no mistake, it will divide others dramatically.

More on offer than not, what a more accomplished director and larger budget could have created or achieved is anyone's guess, but like the all-too-many and much loved low budget classics that have already taught us, leave it alone, and decide for yourself.

FILM: DIE HARD - 30th Anniversary Edition: Genre: Action/Thriller.

Cast: Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, Bonnie Bedelia, Reginald ValJohnson, William Atherton.

Year: 1988.

Rating: M. Length: 132 Minutes.

Stars: ***** Verdict: Bruce Willis as New York cop John McClane visits his wife at her work at the Nakatomi Plaza building in Los Angeles for the Christmas party, however, the staff and guests of the corporation are interrupted and taken hostage by a bunch of high profile crooks, unaware that McClane is about to make things difficult for the as he goes all out to save his wife and others.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary with an all new 4K UHD remastered release, Bruce Willis is still a knockout in his star-making role as NYPD cop John McClane, as the thrills comes thick and fast in not only the best action film of the 80s,' but without doubt the quintessential American action movie, and one of the greatest action films of all time!

Landmark action blockbuster, along with "Aliens" (1986), brimming with humour, tension, excitement and jaw-dropping pyrotechnics, director John McTiernan keeps it tight, lean, tough, brisk, fresh and tension high from the opening frame to the last, all aided by a thrilling music score by Michael Kamen!

In addition, British actor Alan Rickman makes an electrifying big screen debut in a scene-stealing standout as the head villain, Hans Gruber, a character and performance that has gone on to become one of the great villains in cinema history. A knockout!

Footnote: The acclaimed 1968 thriller "The Detective" starring Frank Sinatra has an important place in both cinema and literary history.

Based on the bestseller by of the same name by Roderick Thorp, the sequel to the book of "The Detective" titled "Nobody Lasts Forever" 20 years later became the source novel for the 1988 action blockbuster, "Die Hard."

FILM: RAMPAGE: Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Malin Akerman.

Genre: Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi. Year: 2018.

Rating: M. Length: 107 Minutes.

Stars: ** Verdict: A primatologist shares an unshakable bond with George, an extraordinarily intelligent gorilla who has been in his care since birth, but a rogue genetic experiment gone awry transforms this gentle ape, a wolf and an alligator into raging monsters, and as they tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, he teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, as he fighting his way through a battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.

If it isn't superheroes, aliens or giant robots, it's giant creatures running amuck leaving trails of destruction in their path, and the latest is this, based on the 1986 video game, a big, dumb, loud, sloppy, REDICULOUS and unintelligent CGI mess, there are things to like, but in equal parts cringe.

The performances and characters are wooden, the dialogue is as corny as it can get, the CGI in some parts shoddy, and unlike the more impressionable and inspirational efforts of such past schlock filmmakers and Roger Corman, the King Brothers and William Castle, among others, the major issue here is oversaturation and the lack of any form of emotion or real threat.

Like Andy Serkis as "King Kong" and the "Planet of the Apes" series, If there is any real acting to be credited it is Jason Lyles motion capture performance by as the giant ape, George All that said, creature-features have been a healthy diet and impressionable treat for cinemagoers since the beginning of film, and those many from the beginning and through to the1950s and 1960s Cold-War creature feature era's such as "King Kong," "Mighty Joe Young," "Godzilla," "Gorgo," "The Lost World," "Mysterious Island," "Tarantula," "It Came From Beneath The Sea" and "Them!," to name a few, and they have gone on to inspire generations in their path.

It's not the worst of the decades old genre, and it's certainly not the best, it's just plain dull, but then again, there's nothing wrong with a guilty pleasure, and as far as they go, the recent "Kong: Skull Island" still rocks!

Rourke’s Reviews Beirut

■ (M). 110 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas July 26.

Smartly written by Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) and directed with knowing efficiency and style

by Brad Anderson (Transsiberian), this absorbing thriller harks back to the types of films made in the 1980s, and its old-fashioned attitude is a breath of fresh air.

Jon Hamm plays Mason Skiles, a former US Diplomat whose life fell apart after a tragic incident in 1972, which occurred in the title city.

Ten years later, the despondent, alcoholic Mason is suddenly called back to Beirut, as his friend and ex-colleague Cal (Mark Pellegrino) has been kidnapped by a splinter faction of the PLO, and have specifically asked for him to head the negotiation.

A heady group of intelligence agents are put on the case, but the only one Mason can really trust is CIA handler Sandy Crowder (Rosamund Pike).

As real agendas are slowly revealed, Mason will begin to wonder who exactly the good guys are.

Beirut thankfully places character interplay and plot intricacies over loud explosions, and Gilroy gives Hamm his best big screen role since The Town (2010).

RATING - ***½

See You Up There

■ (MA). 117 minutes. Now showing at Cinema Nova.

Lavishly mounted and dramatically affecting, this large-scale French production is superb, deservedly receiving thirteen nominations (and winning five) at this year's CesarAwards.

Opening during the last days of WWI, the story focuses on three characters; ground soldiers Edouard Pericourt (Nahuel Perez Biscayart, who co-starred in the outstanding BPM) and Albert Maillard (Albert Dupontel, also on board as writer and director), and their superior, Lieutenant Henri Pradelle (Laurent Lafitte).

A fateful decision made during these final hours leads to long-lasting consequences, especially for Pericourt, who is facially disfigured.

Back home, the two soldiers, along with many other scarred survivors, are swept under the carpet by both the government and public, while Pradelle enjoys the comforts of wealth and position, coldly profiteering off the war dead.

Pericourt and Maillard concoct a scheme involving fake memorials, which will illicit much-needed funds for people who should have gotten such support to begin with.

The acting is terrific, and Dupontel balances the flamboyant with the heartfelt beautifully. Try and catch this masterwork before it disappears from cinemas.

RATING - ****½

Accidental Detective In Action ■ (M). 116 minutes. Now showing at selected cinemas.

Despite a cast that aims to please, this somewhat lacklustre sequel to the 2015 success doesn't hit the same entertaining notes as its predecessor, and prolongs a story that stumbles in attaining complete audience interest.

Comic store owner Dae-man (Kwon Sang-woo) and veteran law enforcer Tae-su (Sung Dong-il) are back, but the detective agency they have set-up has yet to attract a customer.

When one does finally arrive, offering both a handsome financial reward and a seemingly cut-anddried case, the duo instead uncover illegal activity that will eventually put their own lives in danger.

Kwon and Sung are once again likeable, but the strained screenplay mutes the natural chemistry they had first time around, and the humour doesn't really click until the arrival of shady computer hacker Yeo-chi (Lee Kwang-soo), who contributes an amusing (if broad) performance.

RATING - **½

Equalizer 2

■ (MA). 121 minutes. Now showing in cinemas.

With an acting career that now spans just over forty years, two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington has finally starred in his first big screen sequel.

What a pity then that the debut follow-up he picks is The Equalizer 2, a cumbersome, lead-footed misfire that wallows in cliches and heavy-handed preaching.

Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) is back, now working as an Uber driver, still offering his services to those who are oppressed or threatened.

Matters become complicated when old friend Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo) arrives on his doorstep, bringing with her a case involving international assassins, and it isn't long before McCall is entangled among all the blood and mayhem.

The screenplay by returning writer Richard Wenk is terrible, and Antoine Fuqua, who helmed the original, needlessly protracts everything out, only showing interest when capturing moments of physical violence.

The first film wasn't great, but it looks a lot better when compared to this dull, dated mess.

RATING - *½

Last Chance ■ Screening as part of the Scandinavian Film Festival, try and see Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurosson's dark, brooding drama Under The Tree (MA) (****), which is screen ing at the Brighton Bay on July 28 at 6.15pm.

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.

■ Strange as it may seem, I did like a song in the 1960s titled I Like It. It was a fun song and during my life time I was lucky enough to meet the man who sang it and the man who wrote it.

Gerry Marsden was born in September 1942 in Liverpool, England, during the blitz (I am 19 days older than Gerry) and found fame as the lead singer in a rock group called Gerry and the Pacemakers.

The composer of the song is my dentist's brother-in-law, Mitch Murray.

Gerry Marsden grew up with an interest in music and worked in bands from an early age.

During his teenage years he used to buy rock and roll records from Brian Epstein at Brian's father’s furniture shop.

Brian found out that Gerry was playing at a venue called The Cavern in Hamburg and went there especially to see Gerry's group play.

He spotted The Beatles playing at The Cavern and fell in love with them.

Brian went to London and negotiated a recording contract for both groups.

Gerry and the Pacemakers recorded their first hit song, How Do You Do It, after it was initially rejected by The Beatles.

Their second No 1 hit was the song I mentioned earlier, I Like It, written by Mitch Murray.

Gerry and the Pacemakers were producing ‘The Mersey Beat’ and were a huge part of the British Invasion of popular music into America

Whatever Happened To ...

during the early 1960s. They recorded a string of hit songs which included - You'll Never Walk Alone, It's Gonna Be Alright, I'm The One, Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying and Ferry Cross The Mersey.

Gerry's first tour of Australia was in 1964 with Dusty Springfield, Brian Poole and Gene Pitney - Gerry has performed in more than 20 tours in Australia since then.

He starred in the film Ferry Across The Mersey and the band continued to perform in concerts for about 10 years.

In 1965 Gerry married Pauline Behan and they have two daughters, Yvette and Victoria.

After the band broke up in the late 1960s, Gerry turned to the West End stage and ap-

peared in shows such as Charlie Girl with Derek Nimmo and Dame Anna Neagle.

He returned to Gerry and the Pacemakers after five years of stage work. Gerry received letters from all over the world asking him to reform the group and tour again.

The Liverpool Football Club adopted Gerry's version of You'll Never Walk Alone as their anthem and he sang an emotional version of the song at a match shortly after the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989.

He also was on the children's television program, The Sooty Show, for nine years.

In 1993 Gerry launched his autobiography I'll Never Walk Alone.

In 2003 he was awarded the MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to charity.

Gerry and the Pacemakers have been one of the great surviving Mersey beat groups of the 1960s, I hope Gerry Marsden finds time to come back to Australia for another tour. I would love to see him sing I Like It, just one more time.

Think it’s cold? How about this?

Struth ● Oymyakon in Siberia where the temperature can average -50°C every day of winter, meaning there’s little purpose in washing the car.

with David Ellis

■ Next time you’re having a little whinge about just how cold you’ve been this winter, give thought to the folk in the village of Oymyakon in Siberia, where in their winter there are only three hours of daylight a day, and the temperature averages minus-50C day after day after day.

And where on one day in 2013 the mercury fell to a bizarre minus 98C. It means that car engines often have to be kept running 24/7 or they’ll freeze and crack, ballpoint and ink pens freeze and won’t write, and those who don’t protect their faces when going outside can find their eyelashes freezing and breaking off.

And when someone dies it takes three days to dig a grave in ground that’s frozen-solid, a succession of bonfires being lit in the hole to soften that ground because the deeper it’s dug, the more densely frozen-solid it is.

But at least the kids love this cold: when temps drop below minus 52C, they don’t have to go to school.

Oymyakon is deep in Siberia, and was first put on the map by farmers who walked their herds of cattle and reindeer to drink from its amazing warm mineral-water springs, and later Russian Czars and law court judges decided that with its miserable climate and isolation, it was just the place for exiling enemies of the State and others needing to be taught a lesson.

And strangely many of those who survived their Siberian punishment in the State-owned nickel mines and forests that fed government-run furniture factories, hung on around Oymyakon at the end of their terms, with their descendants still living there today having married into Siberia’s Yakut indigenous community.

There are around 500 hardy souls now live permanently in Oymyakon despite its isolation, its weather and the fact it has no hotels, restaurants, theatres, supermarkets, churches or clubs, buses or trains, and just one “general store” that sells basic needs.

And they’ve developed a unique diet that includes frozen raw sliced salmon, horse liver that’s also eaten frozen, and a favourite main course of macaroni infused with cubes of frozen horse blood.

Such is life in Oymyakon, officially recognised as the coldest permanently inhabited place on earth.

OK. With John O’Keefe

● Barry Hall

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

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”.

Elvis Costello OK

■ Rumour has it that Elvis Costello has cancelled scheduled concerts in UK and Europe in order to have treatment to remove a cancer.

We're told the cancer is in remission, and Elvis will bounce back after a well earned rest.

Oak has no place in Hunter semillon ■ John Rozentals recalls the Hunter semillon philosophy of the late, great Len Evans - oak has no place in the style..

The late great Australian wine man Len Evans was a passionate champion - probably in ascending order - of Australian wine, Hunter Valley wine, and dry white Hunter Valley wine made from semillon.

I well remember Len, some years ago as the highly respected Chairman of Judges at the Hunter Valley Wine Show, firmly laying down the law to fellow judges about how he saw Hunter semillon.

If a wine showed any sign of oak it was to be rejected.

It didn't matter how good it was.

Oak was just not part of the Hunter semillon style the way he - and many others - saw it.

I do wish that more Chairmen of Australian wine shows were as forthright in protecting the nation's vinous heritage.

Aged Hunter semillon is a style of wine that regular readers of this column know that I'm particularly partial to. I remember the late Melbourne wine writer Mark Shield pondering how something that started life so 'mean and squintyeyed' could blossom into something so complex, rich and charming.

And aged Hunter semillon certainly is all of those things and more.

It's a uniquely Australian wine style and is should be preserved, even if technology has made it less

That special day saw a 9am Thanksgiving Eucharist with preacher Rev. Graham Farrell of Dimboola; a similar service at 10.30am with the Rt. Rev. T.B. McCall, Bishop of Wangaratta; and a 7.30pm service with confimation, led by the Bishop.

McSpedden, ■ 1958: R. Nicholls, ■ 1960: T.H. Pickburn.

Some documents from the time of the foundation of the Protestant Church in Yea were quoted in the centenary booklet.

The following is an excerpt from a Report on the Muddy Creek Mission, signed by William L. Kerand John MacFarlane, Trustees: “The preaching of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the stated Ministry of the Word” had long been a subject of anxious consideration by many of the residents of the Muddy Creek District (the original names for the Yea River) but owing to the somewhat limited population and the difficulty of obtaining an ordained clergyman of any Evangelical Denomination, nothing was done for many years.

“At length in January, 857, arrangements were entered into with MrAshe, a lay reader of the Church of England, to occupy the Muddy

“At Strath Creek the service was in the hall where a fine Methodist family, the Lades, was tower of cstrength.

“We had our own Church at Kanumbra, now worked from Alexandra.

“I see by the Year Book that a Fox is still Hon. Secretary. In my time, the Fox family was “a host in themselves”.

In 1890 services at Homewood were begun and held in Mona vale Homestead, the home of Thomas and Jane Gill.

Their daughter, Margaret Gill started a Sunday School there and alec Gill became a Lay Reader in 1910 at the age of 79.

At the age on nine, Mona Gill, a daughter of Thomas and Jane, began to play hymns for both Anglican and Presbyetrian services, which were later held in the Homewood Hall, and continued to play for 50 years.

After many years this centre was closed, the advent of the motor car making it easier for residents of the district to attend services in Yea. St John’sd Church, Murrindindi, was built in 194, on land which was given by the late Mr John Nash.

Miss O’Connor was organist for about 30 years and the late Mr W. Watts, father of Mrs Ev. Sundblom, was secretary for nearly 20 years.

The late Mr and Mrs George Tull were the first to be married in the church and a grand-child of Mr John Nash was the first to be baptised in the new building.

Two plaques in the Church commemorated the memory of Mrs George Bryant (nee Lucy Tull) and Mr Desailly.

Families who worshipped in the Church originally were Tull, Nash, Watts, Cummins, Pulford, O’Connor, Airey, Murphy, McDonald, Gellibrandm, Desailly, Creed and Holdsorth.

Second and third generations of some of the original familieswere still attending St John’s, as at 1968.

The chair and reading desk in the Church were given by the Rev. Scott, who later became Canon Scott.

Christ Church, Molesworth, was opened for worship in the year 1899 and was dedicated for that purpose

RESERVES Yarra Junction 21.20 (146) d Kinglake 2.0 (12) The boys came up against a quality Reserves outfit against Yarra Junction and once again had a lot of players unavailable from the start which put us on the back foot early.

Junction had all the momentum in the first half scoring very heavily and it wasn’t until a great torpedo goal from Jarrod Heal until we opened the scoring.

The third quarter was all Junction again slamming on eight goals to our one which we got from Cameron Caine.

The last quarter was a bit better as we maintained possession for as long as we could which slowed down junction a little bit.

Once again congratulations to Rodney Pratt in his 150th game.

Brett Robinson and Jesse Rabjones never gave up all day.

SENIORS Yarra Junction 27.17 (179) d Kinglake 6.4 (40) Unlike previous weeks were we had been winning our first quarters, Junction came out and kicked 9.9 in the first quarter.

The second quarter was just as bad with them kicking another seven to our one point.

Junction’s run and also fantastic foot skills were very hard to stop and once again in the third they slammed on six more.

It wasn’t until unfortunately the last quarter until it started to click for us were we had some good passages of play which resulted in us kicking fourgoals and playing the brand footy we know we are capable of.

We look to bounce back at home against yea next weekend. Jayden Butterworth and Mason Mcallister both played well.

Saturday (July 28) at home against Yea we have our past players and ladies day and at night followed by Mr Kinglake.

NETBALL D-Grade 22-7 win Ladder position: 6th (2 wins out of top 5) The girls didn't allow the cold and miserable weather to stop them this round as they took a eight- goal lead after the first quarter (9-1). Errin White shot an impressive 13 goals for the quarter thanks to the brilliant feeds from mid courters Sarah Jensen and Jayde Stoneman.

By half-time our defenders Lisa Sazonov and Marnie Bentley had only allowed Yarra Junction to score two goals.

With the wet and slippery conditions in the thirdYarra Junction managed to score four goals to Kinglake’s one, however with help from Steph Nechodiuk, Kinglake finished the final quarter with 6 goals to 1, giving them a nice win.

Taryn Jennings commented that the girls maintained their lead by supporting each other on the court with great team work.

Best: Sarah Jensen C-Grade 20-19 Win Ladder position: 5th (23% seperates 4/5th and 1 win clear of 6th) Apart from the dresses being very similar the girls also had to factor in the slippery courts which saw 90 per cent and Kinglake players slip at least once each.

Jac Jac Jacqui took multiple dives as she tried hard with the baseline drives but the court had other plans for her.

At half-time Kinglake trailed by 4 goals (95), however after some spurring from Coach Taryn, Kinglake lifted the talk and started to come together to turn the game around in the last half.

Hayley Bawden, Mykaela Smithand Lauren Mather were stand outs in the third as they were able to turn the ball over and the long range feeds from Lauren M got the Lakers back in the game levelling the scores to 15 all.

The final quarter was a close game were Amanda Moo managed to intercept Yarra Junctions goaling attempts to secure a 1 goal win for Kinglake.

"Outstanding communication" and a great game. We have a very proud coach this weekend.

Best: Steph Fry Coaches Award: Lauren Mather B- Grade 38-41 Loss Ladder position: 5th (2 points clear of 6th) After Lakers’ two wins, the B girls knew Yarra Junction would be fighting hard for this game.

The girls got off to a strong start scoring 129. Molly Rose McAllister and Caitlyn Hendrie had a great start togethr in the mid court as they demonstrated controlled play whilst Renee Wilson and Patricia Turner intimidated Yarra Junction goalers.

The second quarter saw Junction outscore Kinglake and take the lead by 1 into the third.

Lauren Watson came on into the defence ring after loosing Amy T with an ankle. The third saw Junction slowly crept away as Taryn Jennings stepped up to Yarra Junction’s tactics by playing the 2017 A-Grade League’s best and fairest, but with that Taryn and Stacey Norbury out played her by showing Junction that it takes a team not an individual to win games.

Despite Kinglake’s best efforts wining the final quarter, Junction snuck away by three goals.

Such a great game as it showed such improvements by the B girls as the first time we met Junction ran away with a 20 point win, and this time round Kinglake closed the margin to 3.

Great effort girls.

Best : Kylie Rabjones A-Grade 55-52 Win Ladder position: 2nd (Top of the Ladder decider next week R14).

The last time these two sides met Yarra Junction claimed the win by seven and have been the only team to beat Kinglake at the present.

The girls knew it was the round to redeem themselves as they are a stronger team then round 4.

Although A-Grade were missing a key player this round Renee Wilson and Lauren Watson stepped up to the test and both had brilliant games.

The first quarter saw Yarra Junction lead by four goals as Kinglake warmed up to find their defensive bearings.

At half-time Yarra Junction had run off by seven goals in which most people presumed the Lakers girls were going to be beaten.

However in the third with a few changes saw Latoya Wards control the play in WA and Bridget Waack come firing out in C to really get behind her sister Alice Waack in defence to spur Lakers on and win the quarter with 15 goals to Junction’s 5.

Fiona Olarenshaw and Monique Nagle shot with stunning accuracy which allowed Lakers to really raise their voices.

The final quarter was goal for goal (14 each) which saw Lakers hold on with a three-goal lead.

Best: Bridget Waack - Ryan Hurst

with Seville continuing to get in top through the midfield and putting the Tigers defence under siege.

James Ryan and Xavier O'Dwyer, opposed to former AFL players Nathan O'Keefe and Josh Fraser, both battled hard all day, while Dan O'Dwyer offered plenty of assistance in the air and on the deck.

Adrian McCarthy continued his excellent season on the ball and Nathan Beattie chipped in with two majors, while Brad Clements and Josh Carroll competed well in the ruck.

It was a disappointing result for Yea, albeit against the benchmark of the competition, considering the positive start to the contest.

Having slipped to fifth position on the leader, the Tigers now have a crucial clash with Kinglake away from home on Saturday.

Goalkickers: N. Beattie 2, J. Mahon, P. Evans Best Players: J. Ryan, A. McCarthy, D. O'’Dwyer, J. Carroll, J. Salau, B. Clements SENIORS Seville 6.11 (47) defeated Yea 7.3 (45) After a poor start, Yea nearly pulled off an incredible comeback against Seville but fell painfully short, going down by two points in a thriller.

The Tigers looked dead and buried early in the match, at one point conceding 4.4 (28) without registering a score, and trailing by 22 points at the first change.

The margin had been trimmed to 17 by the half-time break and then less than two goals by three quarter time, setting up a grandstand finish.

The visitors threw everything they had at the Blues, who didn't score in the final term but did enough to hang on, with Ben Broadway booting the only major in the last 30 minutes.

Broadway was the only multiple goalkicker for the Tigers with two, Lachie White was outstanding and Mark Steiner showcased his physical presence once again.

Eddie Neilson did a power of work through the midfield, Jaryed Garlick was his usual consistent self and Dean Clue was rock solid in defence, especially early.

The Tigers remain in second spot on the ladder but are level on points with fourth, setting up an important game against Kinglake this Saturday.

Goalkickers: B. Broadway 2, P. Kiss, D. Clue, D. Jannke, E. Neilson, J. Garlick Best Players: L. White, M. Steiner, E. Neilson, B. Broadway, J. Garlick, D. Clue.

despite unbelievable body pressure and converted consistently as always.

With a 14-goal lead at the last break, Yea had control of the game but Seville pushed them to keep performing in the final quarter, reducing the final margin to 10.

Midcourters Sam, Ruby and Chels ran hard all day, attacking the ball hard at all times and taking the hits that came with it.

The Tigers will need to keep up the intensity and confidence as they take on Kinglake next week, hoping to reverse the result of earlier in the season when the Lakers knocked the Tigers off by one goal.

Yea 53 def Seville 43 Goals: M. Martinov 32, N. Watts 21 Best: S. Coppinger, M. MArtinov, R. Hickey B-GRADE Seville got the ideal start to the game, completely overrunning the Tigers to quickly race out to a 10-2 lead. Yea eventually settled into the game and strong work from defenders Loz, Sarah and Regie put Yea into attack several times, the girls drawing the margin back to five at quarter time.

From quarter time onwards the game was played evenly, both sides having mini runs of momentum in what was a fast and physical game. Sophie Watts was instrumental in the second quarter, making three beautiful intercepts to set Meg up under the post to convert. Her run and drive into the goal third was fast and strong and her passing with Kate into the goal ring was fantastic.

Yea pushed Seville to play their very best netball in the second half, making them fight for every ball and every goal. Tara Gregory made an immediate impact at WA with her great vision and precise feed.

Sarah and Loz's combination only got stronger as the game went on and with Regie hassling her WA, the girls were able to get their hands to numerous incoming balls.

Trailing by nine at the last break, Yea never gave up, playing to their coaches instructions to never give up and make the last quarter the strongest.

Kate re-entered the game at C and played a ripper, immediately taking an intercept and running hard. Meg’s positioning in the goal ring and strength taking the ball kept the score ticking over andYea reduced the score back to 4 before late Seville goals saw the final margin 8.

The start proved costly to the Tigers but after that they were strong and matched Seville for the remainder of the game.

C-GRADE This game was a must win for the Yea C Graders in their attempt to secure a top two position and top of the ladder Seville had won the last game by seven so it was always going to be interesting.

The game started and straight away it was Yea doing all the scoring with defensive pressure that made it near impossible for Seville to get the ball into the ring quadrupling their score 4 to 16 at the break.

The Tigers knew that Seville wouldn't concede and would come out stronger in the second but now they had to play catch up.

With some pivotal changes Seville were able to score a little freer however it wasn't enough and Yea won the quarter again.

The third was the most even on the score board however the effortless ease in which the Yea team scored was contrasted by the tough slog of Seville.

Coach Melissa Martinov had such great confidence in her bench of Judy Watts and Sarah Lobley that although she hadn't used them in the first three wanting to keep the flow settled she was able to bring them on the last and to their amazing credit both of them didn't miss a beat.

Match winner Maggie McSperrin who dominated in the mid court was moved into Goal At-

tack and played beyond her years again reading and feeding the ball like she had played there all game. The great team effort of the Yea C's saw them the victors on the day, Seville 30 defeated by Yea 47.

D-GRADE For the fourth time this season Yea has come up against Alexandra in D-Grade with the Tigers the victors in the previous three however it wasn't to be the case this round.

Played on Friday night, under lights and at Alexandra the conditions were not ideal for the Yea girls.

The game started and it was Alexandra that got the first turnover and subsequent goal. The Yea girls found it hard to get the ball down into their goaling end with basic errors, no clear drives onto the ball and crowding in the midcourt stopping them short.

Although the scores were even at the end of the first quarter the feeling was it was going to be the Rebels’ night and they weren't going to let it be four for four.

Positional changes in both attack and defence at the break were made to lift the Tigers momentum and open up space and some of the first quarter errors were amended however it wasn't enough and Alexandra were ahead by two at the siren.

The third was all Alexandra with Yea only scoring 3 to their 8. The last quarter was the Yea defenders with a solid last line of defence with lots of turnovers however as it had been all game the ball stopped short and they weren't able to capitalise again only scoring 3 to the Rebels 6.

Although a disappointing game for the D's they would know they didn't play at all to their capabilities and would be looking forward to rectifying the outcome when the two teams meet again in the finals.

Yea 13 defeated byAlexandra 23.

YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT RESERVES Seville 17.21 (125) defeated Yea 4.5 (29) Yea threw away a promising start against Seville on the road and were overwhelmed by the ladder leaders to the tune of 94 points.

The Tigers made a bright start, booting the opening two goals of the match and matching the more fancied hosts in the middle of the ground to take a two-point advantage into quarter time.

However, the Blues turned the screws midway through the second term, slamming on eight goals to rip the game from Yea's grasp and open up a decisive 47-point buffer at half time.

The game was more or less over at that point,

NETBALL A-GRADE First placed Yea travelled to take on thirdplaced Seville in much anticipated contest.

The quality of the match did not disappoint the crowd with strong physical contests all over the court, not one player backing out of a contest all day.

Yea played a disciplined and consistent four quarters, able to keep a handy 5-10 goal lead at all times of the match. They kept Seville at arms length, the home team unable to eat into the margin too greatly at any stage.

Without Kath Duncan to start, and an injury to her sister Gaby in the first half, the seven remaining players had to keep focussed and controlled, sticking to their instructions and holding their composure.

The team did this splendidly in the first half, their ball movement down the court into the goal ring was fast and fluent, scoring from their centre passes and making crucial intercepts to convert from the Seville centre pass. The Tigers up by 8 at half time.

Defensively Yea were superb in the third quarter, restricting Seville to their lowest quarter score of the game, just 9. Megan and Racheal never took a step back in the goal ring and contested every ball, putting themselves in position to cause bad decisions from the feeders and also rebounding when the chances arose.

Nikki and Mel were strong in the goal circle

3Q. With Maggie back into C and Abby and Olivia in goals the mid court outstandingly improved their rhythm in this quarter. Assisted by Jordyn and Zahlie in defence who worked tirelessly to stop St Mary's from scoring. Yea 12 St Mary's 24.

4Q. Although Yea were down by 12 goals at the start of the fourth quarter, they didn't stop encouraging each other and kept their fighting spirits high. In what was probably a frustrating game for both coaches to watch, all girls stepped off the court happy to have had a game to play.

Better luck next time, girls.

Being the second last game for the season both teams were hungry for a win this week, with a strong start from both sides. It was a low scoring game in the first half as the defenders worked hard, keeping the score at two points a piece.

A Yea goal in the opening minutes of the second half saw the Tigers take the lead which they hung onto tightly until the final siren.

A huge thanks to Bailey Bastion who stepped up from the U10s and played a mighty game this week for the U12s.

MEN’S FOOTBALL Thornton travelled to Powell town on Saturday with two full men’s football sides which had been a rare thing for the Boners making the journey to Powelly in the past.

The Reserves gave it their all for three quarters and pushed the Towners with several lead swaps for the game however the Boners ran out of legs in the last and Powelltown came away with the win.

The Seniors continued to keep their heads held high with what has been a rough season.

The Boners took it right up to Powelltown with a great display of pressure however Powelltown's polish and class were too much for the Boners at this stage.

Despite the scoreboard with nearly 30 blokes at training on Thursday night and the continuing improvement of young stars Blake Azzaparti and Jarrod Sloan, and new players and supporters joining the Boners, the club is really starting to build the right platform to launch into 2019.

Go Boners.

Thank you to all volunteers, trainers, water and runners but a special mention to Matty Herridge this week. Your passion and the efforts you put in are adorable and on behalf of all the network at the club both past present and future we wish to highlight how hard you work and thank you, plus your family who stand and support you.

NETBALL Thornton V Powelltown Both teams again worked their hardest yet with Powelltown bringing a well polished and practised side to the court.

First quarter for both games were almost goal for goal with Thornton only down by 1 in CGrade, and the pace was set for the rest of both games.

B and C-Grade got some great passages of play down the court, but our usual strong defensive side met its match with Powelltown's attacking pace and skill level.

B-Grade successfully brought in some game play ideas which resulted in goal after goal uncontested.

Both teams are bringing huge changes on and off court as the season progresses and promise to continue this trend into the future.

SHINBONERS WOMEN'S FOOTBALL Thornton v Upway Thornton women's side coach Dave Stirling travelled back to his old football club where he coached and played in premierships with Upwey Tecoma, to be played under lights which didn't exist in his time, nor the new $1.2 mil Andrew Peterson Stadium.

And with this in mind some old skeletons appeared with the help of some Upwey members before the pre-game speech, when assistant Alan Dunlop was told to fill some gumboots with water and placing in front of the girls.

Dave told his story of what these gumboots meant when he was coach at Upwey.

■ We headed down to Healesville. The sun was shining and the girls were eager to get out there after two weeks off. It was a slow start waiting for the match to get going, realising we had no umpire.

We got that sorted with two dads stepping up.

Finally getting the match up and running, we saw a great interception by Asha Close, kicking the opening goal for the Tigers.

Some great marking from Holly Calder resulted in a goal for her too. Kira Bradley played a fearless match, running and tackling like a freight train. Shayla Perry used her speed and agility throughout the match.

Young girls, Storm Crumpen and Ruby Cook, showed so much improvement and confidence with there shepherding and tackling.

Remi Pitman proved her strength in the forward line. An outstanding effort by all. It was a real nail biter.

However, the next three quarters was a different story, the Rebels kicking five goals to two in the second quarter to narrow the gap to three goals at half time.

And with that in mind he set out to explain that the boots were there to remind the girls to be mentally prepared for the conditions in front of them.

And with 16 girls a field they did exactly that keeping a finals team to just three goals in the first quarter.

The second quarter was the same, only three goals scored, so much so the opposition coach kept his team know he wasn't happy with their effort.

After losing Jess Slapp in the third quarter in the game we were down to only 15 players and Upwey pounced with their ears ringing from the coach’s spray at half-time, kicking 5 goals.

But the last qtr was dominated overall by Thornton, kicking 1.2 to Upwey 3 Most improved players were Racheal Kelly and Natalie, with Tracy playing a cracker game off half back along with Lucy in the ruck and Tash around the middle Maddie was hard at the ball all day and alexia continues to improve an loves a tackle .

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

■ The mountain marksmen of the East Central District Rifle Association with 895 points were clear winners of the final round of the McAuliffe Shield Pennant shoot against Shepparton/Nathalia Gold 870 points.

The match was contested at the ECDRA’s home range at Violet Town and as we have come to expect the weather played a big part of the match with that “nasty" wind always present very often catching the shooters out with its strength and direction.

The shoot got underway early to make the best use of the good light in the middle of the day and as forecast the light was excellent.

After a very successful practice shoot on Wednesday our ECDRA shooters were very confident they were off to good start.

On Wednesday’s practice shoot Brian Houlihan shot a possible 120.11 out of 120.30 while Geoff James shot 119.11, Marty Kelly 116.7 and Neal Hambridge shot 115.5 so it was clear their gear was in top form.

There were no disappointments with Marty Kelly 60.6 and David Wallace 60.5 leading the team at the first stage as Shepparton/ Nathalia Gold struggled with their best score being 57.5

by Jason Li. Stage two at 500 yards continued to favour the ECDRA team with Vaughan Murphy 60.8 and Des Coulter 60.6 joining David Wallace 60.7 Marty Kelly 60.4 while for the Gold team Ross Stuart 60.5 was the only possible.

Moving back to the third stage at 600 yards

the ECDRA team had an unassailable lead baring major incidents. 600 proved to be quite a challenge as the afternoon wind picked up in both strength and variability and the top shooters began to drop points, that is all but Des Coulter who showed how it was done with a very good 60.1 the only “possible” shot by both sides at 600 yards.

For the match Marty Kelly was the top shot for the ECDRA with 179.13 (off-rifle) out of a possible 180.30.

Marty was followed by Vaughan Murphy 177.17, David Wallace 177.16, Des Coulter 176.11, Neal Hambridge 173.10, Rosco Davis 171.12, Terry Gee 171.7, Brian Houlihan 167.6 and Geoff James 164.8.

Top scores for the Shepparton/ Nathalia Gold was Jason Li 174.13 just ahead of Ross Stuart 174.9.

The top shooting by the ECDRA shooters ensured that Marty, David and Vaughan shot to their handicap while Ross Stuart was the only Gold team member to get maximum points on handicap.

The chances of the ECDRA team making the McAuliffe Shield final are remote but our ECDRA finished the series in the best possible way, well done everyone.

Special mention must be made of the team work with everyone pulling together to ensure the match ran smoothly and that wind coaching was shared around the whole team.

The best way to work out what the wind is

doing is to coach another shooter and this year many members have stepped up to take on this task.

We now have a team of good shooters with good gear and a wealth of experience in reading the conditions, just what is needed to go forward into the Chas Hayes Long Range Pennant starting in a couple of weeks.

This pennant is contested over three matches at distances of 800 to 1000 yards. This year we have the choice of two ranges to contest these matches with the completion of the range improvement works at Katandra and the availability of the 1000 yard range at Karramomus.

The ECDRA members were on a high as they gathered for a cuppa at the end of the match both with the great result on the day and with the return of Graeme Kerr they have the potential to turn out some very impressive scores in the Chas Hayes.

The Chas Hayes is also a warm up from the State team championships that will be held in October with our team determined to be state team champions for 2018.

If you would like to try this exciting and challenging sport please drop into the Violet Town range on a Wednesday or Saturday. Shooting schedules may be found at www.ecdra.com.au in the calendar section.

More information about long range precision shooting may be found in Youtube under East Central District Rifle Association.

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 don’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. It’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.
