This Week’s Question: ‘Do I need an Internet Security Suite and Malware Protection?’

Absolutely, even if you are on a network! With the number of malware events growing by 200,000 per day it is imperative you have all the protection you can get. Freeware is Okay but a paid version is better still. Most of these arrive by email or your web browser which means they are already behind your network protection.

With the introduction of the new Free Green Waste Program for residents, Council wants to make sure everyone in Murrindindi Shire is able to access this great service.

Council is looking to partner with local community groups interested in helping others by providing a community green waste collection service.

Interview with Ash Long, Editor of The Local Paper

Better ways to resolve conflict ■ Much energy and emotion is consumed in modern times from conflict.

Often the lawyers are called in as opposing parties battle out their disputes. Legal combat can be expensive and unpleasant.

A local organisation, Melbourne Mediation Centre, has a better way for people to resolve disputes, and to enhance people’s futures.

Melbourne Mediation Centre brings people together in a comfortable, safe, local environment, with the aim of finding solutions, without the expense of city law firms.

Paul Pattison and Bonnie Miller are the principals at Melbourne Mediation Centre.

Both have extensive tertiary course qualifications in mediation. Their accreditations include Family Dispute Resolutionc certificates.

Paul has studied law, but does not practice as a lawyer. Bonnie has a Masters in Conflict Resolution, and holds Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Nursing degrees.

They have a passion for respectful communication, and helping people find answers to delicate problems.

They set out to minimise the harm of often bitter conflicts.

But there is much more to their resolution practice than helping to solve family disputes.

They are skilled in delivering quality conflict resolution services in a range of areas: ■ Aged care ■ Civil and community ■ Conflict Management ■ Elder Care ■ Parenting Plans ■ Workplace Disputes

Melbourne Mediation Centre ronment.

“We work with parties to identify does not take sides. It works for all issues; facilitate discussions; work parties, on a fixed fee basis.

Mediators are appointed by the towards agreement/consensus; and Attorney-General’s Department,only after satisfying training and tuition requirements.

In the case of family break-ups, the Family Court often requires that couples first go to mediators, to empower them to make mutually agreeable arrangements.

At Melbourne Mediation Centre, individual parties are each given their own ‘intake’ interview, so that needs and requirements can be identified.

Parties are brought together in the company’s board room, with the mediator chairing proceedings.

If parties do not wish to be in the same room, arrangements can be made for the mediation to be done by ‘shuttle’ in separate rooms.

Paul and Bonnie remain impartial, maintain confidentiality, and ensure measured and balanced discussion.

In separation and divorce cases, talks often include property and asset distribution, and parenting plans.

The best interests of the children are paramount in these discussions.

Sometimes the children are introduced to the discussions, so the “voice of the child” can be an ingredient in the agreed outcome.

Bonnie and Paul say that mediators need to have empathy, with the aim of reaching a consensus.

They do not provide counselling or therapy, nor do they give recommendations.

They are conscious of providing a comfortable area, with toys provided in the waiting room for children.

It is important to them that dignity be maintained for all parties, and that everyone has the opportunity to be heard.

Increasingly, matters of ‘elder care’ come to the Melbourne Mediation Centre.

Families decide the future care of their mothers and fathers, and often cultural matters have to be taken into account.

Grandparents’ access to grandchildren after family separation is another matter that is increasingly mediated.

Paul and Bonnie strive to achieve that mediating parties reach agreement on the same day, leaving the mediation centre on the day with a documented agreement.

Sessions usually start with opening statements from each party, a summarisation, exchange of information, and the canvassing of options.

Sometimes, documented agreements are re-visited some years later, to meet the changing needs of children and their parents.

A plan for a seven-year-old child may need to be quite different when they become a teenager.

Melbourne Mediation Centre is conveniently located in Main St, Greensborough, opposite the RSL. Parking is easy.

Bonnie and Paul work on the basis that “every agreement is a win”.

Their website has detailed explanations of the process in the many areas of their work.

Increasingly, businesses and notfor-profit organisations are using mediation to sort out disputes, without going into legal combat.

Melbourne Mediation Centre seeks to “expand the pie” for parties as they reach outcomes in which all parties reach agreement.

Matters considered

Separation and Divorce ■ Parenting ■ Property and asset distribution ■ Other matters arising from the breakdown of a relationship Aged Care Disputes ■ Communication ■ Health care decision making ■ Living arrangements ■ Standard of care ■ Special needs ■ Any other issues or concerns Civil and Community Disputes ■ Business ■ Companies ■ Individuals ■ Not-for-profit organisations Conflict Management ■ Issues causing conflict ■ Alternative strategies - Conflict Coaching - Facilitated Discussions - DISC Profiling - Play of Life Elder Care Family Disputes ■ Communication ■ Finances ■ Health care decision making ■ Living arrangements ■ Property and asset distribution ■ Standard of care ■ Special needs ■ Any other issues or concerns Parenting Plans Workplace Disputes

● Kellock Lodge Residential Aged Care, Alexandra

■ AN AGREEMENT, transferring Kellock Lodge aged care centre to an Alexandra community entity, could be signed as early as this week.

The transfer, from the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta, follows a bitter fight between the local community and Anglican Bishop John Parkes.

Bishop Parkes had wanted to merge Kellock Lodge with the troubled St John’s Retirement Village and Hostel at Wangaratta.

Alexandra businessman Larry Fallon has led the negotiations to transfer Kellock Lodge back into the hands of the Alexandra people.

● Charlie McLeish ■ Yea youngster Charlie McLeish is to represent Victoria at a cross country running on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, later this month.

Victory for the people

f agreement is reached for Kellock Lodge to be returned to the hands of the Alexandra community, it will be a victory for common sense, and a victory for local people.

Alexandra and wider Murrindindi community members such as Kellock Lodge chairman John Sharwood, Bill Rollason, Mike Manning and Maurie Pawsey deserve hearty thanks for their dedication in keeping the aged care facility in local hands.

If the deal comes through as expected, the hero will be businessman Larry Fallon, who over a number of decades, has lent his strength to the Kellock Lodge cause.

The community can take a bow too. Local people have run a relentless campaign against the Bishop, who wanted to merge Kellock Lodge with the troubled St John’s at Wangaratta.

The Alexandra community built Kellock Lodge, with millions of dollars raised since the 1980s.

The community thought the local asset would be safe in the hands of the Anglican Church.

Instead, in a ludicrous way, the Murrindindi community will find itself paying millions of dollars to the church, to buy back its own asset.

It makes somewhat of a mockery of the statements made by the Bishop and his associates, about how the St John’s merger was the only way to go forward.

The buyback will require extensive resources, to be decided at a public meeting to be convened.

This community is up to the task.

Footy, netball teams restructure ■ The local football-netball competition from 2020 is likely to include Alexandra, Yea, Thornton-Eildon and Kinglake.

Other teams may include Kilmore, Broadford, Bonnie Doon, Violet Town and Longwood.

■ Yea, Alexandra, Kinglake and Thornton-Eildon footballnetball clubs look likely to be part of a revamped competition, from as early as next year.

AFLYarra Ranges League CEO Aaron Bailey foreshadowed the new ‘northern’ competition when speaking at the Officer Football Club, journalist Nick Creely reported in the Pakenham Gazette.

Gembrook-Cockatoo appears likely to move from the current Division 2 competition to a new combined Yarra Ranges-SENFL set-up.

Mr Bailey told the Club event that the Casey region was a focus for growth.

“One of the things this region clearly needs is growth in terms of new clubs - the lack of levels, and the lack of divisions have meant no new clubs have merged, and as a result, lacks opportunity,” Mr Bailey is quoted to have said.

“I’m pleased ro say Berwick Springs will start next year with an Under 19s and netball club, so already with us going to divisional football, we’ve already got a new club which is fantastic.

● Aaron Bailey, AFL Yarra Ranges manager “We’re already working on another which we hope will come up in the next 24 months.

“Over the next five years we want this region to represent the Yarra Ranges.”

Mr Bailey is reported to have emphasised the importance of local rivalries.

“One of the things that is exciting is that we’re going to

have some local derbys, with more Cardinia teams in the competition, which is being embraced by the clubs in the Yarra Ranges such as Gembrook and Emerald,” he said.

“For us, it’s fantastic, it gives us the opportunity to build something we think to work going forward - next year we will definitely go to three divisions, but we’re still working on getting the structure of this right.

“Year one there will be three divisions, a Premier Division, a Division One and a Division Two - the Division Two will be our northern clubs and the smaller Yarra Ranges clubs.

“But the other two divisions will be the remaining Yarra Ranges clubs and the six SENFL slubs that are coming across.

“We do have four clubs in the north that we need to find a solution for - they are Alexandra, Yea, Thornton-Eildon and Kinglake.

“We are working through that and we’re confident we’ll have a solution by 2020“ Mr Bailey said, according to the Gazette report.

Single mum, Katie Luckman, and her six-year-old daughter Lacie; and retired couple, Eddy and Marie Magee, will take possession of their new homes in Prospect Rise, near the Yea Butter Factory.

Habitat For Humanity believes low income and very lowincome families, who have been severely affected by the crisis around access to affordable housing, should have the opportunity to move into affordable housing.

Editor’s Diary

● William Charles Oliver Photo: Alan Thorley

■ One of the first hotels in Yea was named the Muddy Creek Hotel which was the original name for the town before it became Yea. The licence was granted to William Oliver in 1868 and consisted of 10 rooms.

He sold the hotel, later opening the Commercial Hotel (now the Country Club Hotel) a little further down High St. The Muddy Creek Hotel was situated near the corner of Pechell and High Sts on allotments which are now occupied by the Mint and Jam Cafe and the Yea Bakery.

The hotel had 10 rooms, garden and out houses, according to Alan Thorley of the Yea and District Historical Pages.

It was transferred toRobert Johnson in December 1869.

A few other licensees operated the hotel before it became a produce store operated by John Tomkins in 1875.

Set-up: Lawson

■ Newly-elected Cr Don Lawson accused leading Yea citizen Gary Pollard of a “setup” in front of the press, 30 years ago.

Mr Pollard asked Cr Lawson about his proposal for consultants at the Shire of Yea, after Cr Lawson had stood for election on a basis of no consultants and cutting costs.

Cr Lawson demanded an apology from the Yea pharmacist. There was no apology.

Local People Strath Creek trees

● James Hubbard with grandmother Janet, celebrate the number of trees planted ■ A group of 55 Strath Creek Landcare members gathered this month to plant trees and understorey at three different sites.

Some 640 trees, shrubs and grasses were planted.

An area was enclosed around a naturalised dam at the ‘Three Sisters’. The area has become home for a group of nine moor hens.

Trees and riparian type vegetation were planted around the dam and it is hoped this will provide an improved and safe habitat for the birds.

On the Upper King Parrot Creek Rd, a planting will help to improve an area which is part of a Ribbons of Vegetation project.

Nearby, a planting at the home of Chris and Jan Ryan, will complete a corridor of vegetation which was started by the late Peter Auty.

A feature of the day was the large group of children and young people who participated . The young people were each awarded a certificate of participation.

All enjoyed a sumptuous barbecue lunch afterwards, augmented with an array of food provided by Muslim members of the group.

● Strath Creek Landcare group members relax after their labours.

Kinglake road ideas sought by local MP ■ Cindy McLeish, MLA for Eildon, is asking Kinglake Ranges locals for opinions on the Heidelberg-Kinglake Rd. "Everyone who uses the road between Kinglake and St Andrews knows the dangers and the challenges it poses,” said Ms McLeish.

“I'm looking for the community to provide me with feedback about workable solutions to make the road safer for all users.”

Ms McLeish said she had received a number of complaints about the safety of the notorious stretch of road between Kinglake and St Andrews and wanted to provide community members the opportunity to have their say on further safety fixes.

"The mix of passenger vehicles, motorcycles, trucks and bicycles on this road can make for a lethal combination and we have seen too many lives lost already."

"Nobody knows this road better than locals who use it every day and so they are best place to advise the government about what they think can and cannot work."

■ Yan Yean MLADanielle Green last week asked a question in State Parliament about the use of trees cut down on the Yan Yean Rd duplication works.

Her question to Roads Minister Luke Donnellan was: “As a result of the Yan Yean Rd and Plenty Rd upgrades, how can trees removed along the alignment of these road upgrades be used for the maximum benefit of the community?

“The community welcomes these road upgrades but is suffering grief in some circumstances due to the removal of these trees.

“We want an assurance that the trees will be re-used in our local community to maximise the benefit for the local community,” Ms Green said.

Sports academy at Diamond Creek ■ Students from the southern part of Murrindindi Shire would join with Diamond Valley teenagers at a sports academy to be established at Diamond Valley College.

Danielle Green, Yan Yean MLA, spoke in State Parliament last week, and asked Education Minister James Merlino for assistance. “ My adjournment (matter) this evening is for the Minister for Education, and the action I seek is for him to assist Diamond Valley College to grow its facilities to help the college realise its objective to be a sports academy,” Ms Green said.

“From 2019 the college is set to offer elite programs to prospective students and existing students in football, netball, basketball and gymnastics.

“I know that the minister knows the college well, as he has visited many times, not just as the Minister for Education and Deputy Premier but during the Bracks and Brumby governments, when he was the Minister for Sport and Recreation.

“He was pivotal in pulling together the funding for the Community Bank Stadium, which is co-located with the college and which is now essential to the college’s ability to offer these elite programs.

“The next step is to convert the college’s rabbit-ridden playing fields, which are shared

Local Briefs Tree change

● Danielle Green MLA for Yan Yean with Diamond Creek East Primary School next door, to synthetic, which would open the door for the college to offer soccer, hockey and track and field.

“The added community benefit, the spin-offs, would include usage by Diamond Creek East Primary School and Nillumbik Junior Soccer Club — Nillumbik Councilhas identified an acute shortage of soccer pitches.

“Diamond Creek Little Athletics and Yarrambat Plenty Little Athletics currently have to travel to Banyule to a facility, and they would be able to use a running track at Diamond Valley College, as would the Diamond Creek

Runners.

“The benefits for these community groups would be immeasurable.

“Imagine my shock at this.

I believe the Nillumbik Council was going to submit an application to the Growing Suburbs Fund for this synthetic pitch.

“It was actively supported by the local ward councillor, Peter Perkins.

“I immediately said yes to supporting an application.

“It had previously been identified that a soccer pitch was to be established by council on the old pony club grounds.

“They have now said they want to put a regional playground there, which I welcome.

“In return I said simply, ‘Let’s put the soccer pitch at Diamond Valley College, and we will have these broader benefits and competitions, not only for community use but for school use’.

“Sadly the proposal from Cr Perkins went down by one vote.

“The opposition was led by the mayor, Cr Peter Clarke, who described this as, ‘My pet project’.

“A misogynistic hatred of a female Labor MP should never get in the way of what is needed for community use, and I urge the minister to assist Diamond Valley College,” Ms Green said.

Council News Rubicon questions

■ Rubicon resident Shelley Creighton asked questions and addressed Councillors at last week’s Murrindindi Shire meeting held at Yea. “What security did the Murrindindi Shire provide to the residents or buyers of Rubicon Village for the essential services (water and sewerage) prior to 2017 as per rule 32.05 of the Murrindindi Shire Planning Act?” Ms Creighton asked.

Craig Lloyd, Council CEO, replied: “As outlined in the letter from Clare Kiely, Regional Director, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning n September 2017, it was committed that (DELWP, Department of Education and Training, Goulburn Valley Water and Murrindindi Shire Council) will work together with residents in determining a long term government solution that will guarantee a security of supply of water and sewerage.

“In the interim, temporary water supply and sewage services are in place. Work on options in relation to the solution referred to above continues and DELWP are leading this work.

“DELWP have advised they will provide a further update to residents shortly.

“In the first instance the section 32.05 of the Murrindindi Planning Scheme sets out uses that are allowed or not allowed in the Township Zone (as applies in Rubicon Village) and conditions associated with this.

“This has effect where: • Council is required to make a decision under the Planning and Environment Act, for example, to issue a permit for subdivision • where Council is aware of a use that is occurring that is outside the provisions of the planning scheme.

“At the time of issuing a planning permit in 2005 for the subdivision, Council needed to be satisfied that the requirements around water and sewerage services were met and included conditions related to this.

“Council was subsequently satisfied that a system was in place and issued a Statement of Compliance in 2007 and as a result the lots in this subdivision were released.

“Evidently, the arrangements for sewerage and water services have not worked as intended.

“As a result, in September 2017 agencies committed to work to a long term government solution.

“The Planning and Environment Act and the Murrindindi Planning Scheme do not provide for Murrindindi Shire Council to provide ongoing security to residents and uyers in relation to water and sewerage.

“Under the Planning and Environment Act the ongoing obligation for use and development to be consistent with the Murrindindi Planning Scheme rests with the relevant land owners, rather than with Council.

“Notwithstanding, Council is working, with other agencies, toward a long term government solution,” Mr Lloyd said.

Ms Creighton asked: “Why were lots 17 to 25 omitted from the plan in the sale of lot 26 making the Owners Corporation of Rubicon Village dysfunctional at the mercy of lot owner 26 with 32 per cent of the vote?”

Mr Lloyd replied: “The initial stage of the development and subdivision (as reflected in the planning permit issued in 2005), as you indicate, did not include lots 17 to 25.

“Council understands that it was intended that there was to be another stage of the subdivision, that would have further subdivided Lot 26 to provide lots 17 to 25, and that did not occur.

“The reasons for this are a matter for the developer.

“The result is however, as you indicate, one of the lots having a larger voting entitlement than other lots and this can impact decision making.

“Hamilton Murphy, as the administrator of the OC, has provided advice about how decisions of the OC can be obtained in these circumstances.”

Ms Creighton (representing Rubicon Village) spoke about the sale of lot 26 at Rubicon Village and issues regarding water and sewerage in the Rubicon Village.

Alex. Hosp. ball

■ Over 300 dancers attended the above function on Wednesday night last.

Visitors were present from Yea, Euroa, Marysville, and Buxton, beside an excellent local representation. .

The stage was artistically decorated with, red flower panelling and fern fronds for a background - it presented a very bright spectacle (Mrs. Courtney, Miss E. Webb and Miss J. Elliott deserve praise for their efforts in this direction.)

Croquet Party

■ The.Hurstbridge Croquet Club conducted an Australian Tea at the Wattle Cafe last Thursday afternoon, when several musical items were enjoyed by those who attended.

Hazel Glen euchre

■ Thirty-two players took part in the St. John's euchre competition held on Wednesday night. Winners were Mrs. F. B. Bradley (ladies). Mr. A. Verso, (gentlemen). Consolation prizes went to Miss M. Potter and Mr. R. C. Morgan.

Alex. P. & A.

■ The principal business at the meeting of the committee on Friday last was the revising of the show schedule.

It was decided to include two classes for pigs - baconers and porkers.

Regarding the sole right for the boxing and wrestling booth it was decided to offer it to Harry Johns for £10, as another showman had offered a similar amount.

For several years Mr. Johns has paid £3 for the right, and he is to be given first offer for this year's show at £10.

Mr. Guthridge (who usually collects the fees from sideshows) said that no show could pay £10. Other members said it would have to be paid in advance, so there would be no trouble on show day.

Miss Middleton

■ The death occurred on Monday of Miss Heather Middleton, of Diamond Creek at the age of 27. For 20 years an invalid, the late Miss Middleton won the respect of all who knew her.

She suffered a severe turn about a fortnight ago, during which she sank into a coma from which she did not recover.

The funeral took place at the Diamond Creek cemetery on Wednesday, when the Rev. A. J. Bamford conducted the service at the graveside.

The Mothers' Union was officially represented at the service. Miss Middleton was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Middleton.

Local News No to bullying

■ Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish has announced that an elected Liberal State Government will introduce the biggest school antibullying program in Australia.

"If Victoria is to be its best self, then it starts with people respecting one another.

Learning to respect everyone regardless of gender, religion, sexuality, race, ethnicity, family circumstances and appearance begins in our homes and schools," Ms McLeish said.

Under the plan a Liberal Government will establish a School Safety Unit responsible for managing the rollout of the anti-bullying program across all government schools in partnership with the Alannah and Madeline Foundation. Independent schools can choose to opt-in to the program, at their discretion.

"Our Zero Tolerance on School Bullying policy is a $15.3 million, four-point plan that will focus on learning respect as well as taking a hard line approach to bullying in government schools," Ms McLeish said.

Funding will assist the rollout of Alannah and Madeline Foundation's successful antibullying programs including eSmart, which is an interactive online resource used to teach children to be careful in their use of the internet, increase digital literacy and be aware of cyberbullying especially on social media.

Ms McLeish said the policy will support school principals to deal bullies who repeatedly harm other students.

"Bullies who continue to hurt other students will be required to attend a meeting with their principal and parents so they can understand the serious harm their behaviour has caused to others.

“In the most serious of cases we will support principals who are forced to expel students who may be a constant threat to the safety of others," Ms McLeish said.

Ms McLeish said that the program will encourage, recognise and reward children who stand up for others are being bullied.

Dindi Bulk Buy ■ Almost 150 residents of Murrindindi Shire have registered for an obligation-free solar quote through Murrindindi Shire Council's Dindi Bulk Buy Program.

Natural Environment and Climate Change Portfolio Councillor for Murrindindi Shire Council, Rebecca Bowles, said the level of community interest in the program demonstrates just how serious we are as a community about managing our environmental footprint.

"So far, we have run two information sessions with Program partners Yarra Energy Foundation, one in Alexandra and one in Kinglake,” Cr Bowles said.

“We also ran a great launch event in Yea. We are really pleased to share that already, 30kWs of solar power capacity has been ordered through the Dindi Bulk Buy Program," Cr Bowles said.

"What's exciting about this, is how close to our target of 50kWs we already are. Once we reach 50kWs, Jim's Energy, the Dindi Bulk Buy solar installers, will donate a solar system to a community-owned building in the Shire.

"Don't worry if you have missed the two Dindi Bulk Buy information sessions so far, there are another two lined up.

“On Saturday (Aug. 4) at 10am, there will be an information session at the Marysville Community Centre.

“On Wednesday,August 15, at 7pm the final information session will be held at the Yea Shire Hall.

“I encourage you to pop along to these sessions, even if you're not ready to install solar power yet and just want to improve your 'solar literacy'.

"The information sessions provide an informal setting for people to ask questions and clear up any confusion about transitioning to solar or going off-grid entirely.

“It's also an opportunity for people to get to know the Program partners and discuss any concerns they have about other suppliers or installers who might have approached them,” Cr Bowles said.

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.

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood

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 17

Early days along Plenty Road Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea.

From ‘The Plenty’

by J.W. Payne, 1975.

■ Before this locality had an approved name, the postal address of local residents ranged from Darebin Creek and Plenty River, to Gallic Hill or Prospect Hill, even Greenfields and Springfield.

The latter was adjacent to McKimmie’s Lane and Prospect Hill was the original name for Bundoora.

The free fertile soils of the low hills characteristic of the area invited cultivation, and early subdivision provided initial settlers with the opportunity for tenant farming.

In the land sales of 1838, John Gardiner purchased Crown allotments 19 and 20 of Keelbundoora Parish which he sold to Walsh, a land dealer.

George and Frances Coulstock bought this land from Welsh and, in addition, adjoining allotments 1 and 2 of Morang Parish.

They built a flour mill to process the locally produced grain, indicating that the area already had considerable production of cereals.

Horatio Cooper commenced a lifetime’s association with the area in 1839.

He purchased land to west of Plenty Road and built his home ‘Norris Bank’ one hundred yards south of the Norris Bank State School.

Concerned with the spiritual life of this rural popoulation, Cooper assisted Malcolm McLean in the furnishing of a small church on McLean’s ‘Strathallan’ estate (where La Trobe University now stands), and provided overnight accommodation for the ministers of the various faiths who conducted services in the Church.

“The pulpit which was gifted to the congregatiob by Mr Cooper was, until quite recently (1890) in use in a spacious school room the property of Mrs Horatio Cooper of Bundoora, and which was used as a place of meeting by the Wesleyan Congregation. A Sabbath School was held at ‘Norris Bank’,” noted C. Stuart Ross in the Colonisation and Church Work in Victoria.

Another wooden chapel (thought to be Congregational or Baptist) was built on the south-west corner of what we now call McKimmie’s Lane.

The building eventually became part of Clements’ farm. Robert White, who also arrived in 1839, had a daughter who married Mark Clements.

Their son Robert in turn had three sons, Bob, Jim and Gordon who still live nearby.

The Clements’ farm was sold as the site for the Preston Institute of Technology.

The Coulstocks disposed of two parcels of land in 1847.

They sold the first, west of Plenty Road, to William Forde Cleeland; he buildt a home he called ‘Springfield’ which, for some years, gave name to the locality.

The farms of Clements and Cleeland lined the land leading to John McKimmie’s place.

The second more modest parcel was nearer the gate of ‘Mill Park’.

On it arose the primitive Plough Inn, with Edward Butler of the first licensee.

“The buildings consist of main residence, dairy, cowhouse, stables, shearing shed (in which as many as 65 men are employed in the season), blacksmiths, carpenters, and butchers shops, kitchen, etc.

“In fact, Mill Park is a village in itself. The manager is Geo. Gordon.”

Additions to Mill Park buildings were made inc the late 1870s to house the Findo Hounds.

The kennels and associated stables faced the Plenty Road near the Presbyterian Church and remained theere until 1939.

Age and decay were not apparent in the old Denimonational School. The school committee haggled with the Board of Education over the value of the school buildings and land, and Headmaster Peacock appealed for relief from the squalor which surrounded him.

The situation culminated in the drowning of his 11-year-old son in the waterhole (unfenced) within the school grounds in June 1874: “I am certain that my boy has been sacrificed through the negligence of the school committe”; he resigned a few months later.

It was not until J.W. Harper bought the land of Mrs Henry Brock that a school site offered by him was purchased and the headmaster, H.W. Perrott, opened the new Bundoora State School No 1915 on July 1, 1877.

Mrs James Miller Brook sold soon after to the McFarlane family.

On the death of Henry Miller, Mill Park passed to his family.

His sons, notably, Albert, Edward and Septimus, diverted much of Mill Park to the breeding and training of racehorses.

A 1.25 mile race track with surfaces of turf, sand and tan was built complete with watering system, and underground drains leading to a pitched outlet to the Darebin Creek.

At Bacchus Marsh, they bred a horse with remarkable jumping ability .

Named Redleap, he was brought to Mill Park for H. Bellamy to train, and won the Grand National Hurdle in 1889, and again in 1892, when he carried 11st 12 lbs.

He went on to win the Grand National Steeplechase from a field of 18, carrying 13st 3lbs, and the Australian Steeplechase with the same weight.

Magnificent solid brick stables including 20 large stalls, washing facilities, accommodation for grooms with a huge storage capacity for fodder and bedding between the stalls and lofty roof were erected in 1890, and were named Redleap Stables after their champion.

At each end were hinged doors of sufficient width to admit a coach and four.

The Melbourne to Whittlesea railway which replaced the mail coach in January 1890 was furnished with a stopping place on Mill Park for use when Point-to-Point races were held on the property ● 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: ISLE OF DOGS: Voice Cast: Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Edward Norton, Greta Gerwig, Yoko Ono, Harvey Keitel, Frances McDormand, Bryan Cranston, Bob Balaban, Scarlett Johansson, F. Murray Abraham, Ken Watanabe, Anjelica Huston, Liev Schreiber.

Genre: Animation/Adventure/Comedy.

Year: 2018.

Rating: PG. Length: 101 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: In a dystopian near future Japan, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash Island, and a 12-year-old boy sets off alone in a miniature JuniorTurbo Prop and flies across the river in search of his dog, Spots.

There, with the assistance of a pack of newly-found mongrel friends, he begins a journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire territory.

Deliciously entertaining stop-motion-animated-adventure-comedy from the endlessly imaginative and quirky mind of Wes Anderson, whose previous credits include "The Grand Budapest Hotel" (2014), "Moonrise Kingdom"(2012), "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (2009), "Rushmore" (1998)nd "The Royal Tenenbaums" (2001), and again he delivers a virtuoso of stylized inventiveness in a world of dog-eared enchantment for all us adults with the child still firmly embedded with-in us.

Like his 2009 stop-motion-animated-adventure "Fantastic Mr. Fox," based on the novel by legendary author Roald Dahl, Anderson has kept the essence of Dahl very much intact here, as well as evoking such inspirations as legendary Japanese filmmaker, Akira Kurosawa (The Seven Samurai), and most notably reflective of George Orwell's 1945 allegorical novella "Animal Farm" and Martin Rosen's (Watership Down) searing and haunting animated 1982 drama "The Plague Dogs," from the book by Richard Adams, among others.

A boy and his dog story or vast and multi-layered political statement, read from it what you may, there are moments of cuteness, but this is not a "cute" animated story, yet it has a strongly beating soft and tender heart.

Overflowing with a richly refined and endearing characters, eyepopping animation and a "Who's Who" of voice talent, "Isle of Dogs" is a uniquely funny, dark, inventive, witty, haunting, biting, silly, poignant and uniquely ravishing entertainment experience, a treasure trove of unforgettable tail-wagging tomfoolery that we have come to expect from Wes Anderson which fans will relish.

FILM: WALKING OUT: Cast: Matt Bomer, Josh Wiggins, Bill Pullman.

Genre: Adventure/Drama/Mystery.

Year: 2017.

Rating: M. Length: 95 Minutes.

Stars: *** Verdict: An urban teenager journeys to Montana to hunt (for food) big game with his estranged father, and as father and son struggle to connect, an unfortunate encounter in the heart of the wilderness changes everything between the two and becomes a fight for survival.

Slow burning yet compelling Man vs. Nature and Father and Son bonding adventure is driven by solid and respectful performances by Matt Bomer as the father, Cal, and Josh Wiggins as the son, David, but most notably, it's the startling and breathtaking cinematography by Todd McMullan (Casino, The Green Mile), as nature and the elements are the real stars here, the beauty and danger of the wintery snow-bound Montana ranges and open countryside captured so vividly, you can almost feel the cold.

Reflective of snow-bound works of author Jack London (White Fang, Call of the Wild), and such films as "The Revenant" (2015), "Legends of the Fall" (1994), "Jeremiah Johnson" (1972), "Man in the Wilderness" (1971), and based on the short story by David Quammen, the screenplay and direction by Alex and Andrew J. Smith is respectful and firmly authentic.

The end result is a tough, gripping, poignant and thought provoking generational coming-of-age adventure that you'll be pleased to have experienced from the comfort of a cinema seat, but not likely to forget for some time afterwards.

FILM: MIDNIGHT RUN (New Release Blu-Ray Edition): Genre: Crime/Comedy/Action/Thriller.

Cast: Robert De Niro, Charles Grodin, Yaphet Kotto, Dennis Farina.

Year: 1988.

Rating: M. Length: 126 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: First rate action-comedy of a bounty hunter who is sent to find a fugitive mafia accountant with a conscience, who stole money for charity, and bring him from New York to Los Angeles in time for his trial date, but things don't go to plan, as he must avoid a rival bounty hunter, the FBI, and the Mob along the way.

Robert De Niro as the Bounty Hunter and Charles Grodin as the phobia prone fugitive 'The Duke' on the run from the Mafia are a perfect match in one of the most enjoyable buddy and road movies ever made!

Actually, everyone shines here, on both sides of the camera!

A vast improvement on previous DVD releases with picture and sound quality, this is a slick, smart, funny, thrilling, even poignant, and ultimately, a hugely entertaining ride every step of the way!

Spot on direction by Martin Brest (Beverly Hills Cop) and faultless screenplay by George Gallo, which includes one of the best 'running gags' in cinema with the scene stealing Yaphet Kotto as FBI agent Alonzo Mosely. Don't miss this one!

Rourke’s Reviews Melbourne Film Festival (MIFF) 2018 : August 2 - 19.

Yes, it's that time of year again, where we get the privileged opportunity to see a wide range of movies from all around the world.

With hundreds of movies on offer, there will be something for everybody.

The film I am looking forward to the most this year is Shoplifters, from acclaimed film-maker Hirokazu Kore'eda (Afterlife, Nobody Knows, I Wish, Like Father Like Son).

Winner of the top prize at Cannes, this is already being regarded as one of the best movies of 2018.

Other films that are high on my must-see list are: Burning; Climax; Mandy; An Elephant Sitting Still; The Wild Pear Tree; Asako 1 + 2; Cold War; Ash Is Purest White; Arctic; Birds Of Passage; and The Big Bad Fox And Other Tales.

A number of high profile titles have already secured a local release, such as Leave No Trace, Mirai, and Wildlife. For more details, including session times, ticket availability and prices, please visit miff.com.au. The following films that I've seen, are screening at MIFF. You Were Never Really Here. **** Exceptionally well-crafted, frequently oppressive mood piece from Lynne Ramsay (Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar), featuring yet another outstanding performance from Joaquin Phoenix. Has been compared to Taxi Driver, but is more elliptical in approach.

Angels Wear White. ****½ Quietly heartbreaking look at how two young girls, sexually assaulted by a man of power, are not only introduced to a justice system that is inherently corrupt, but also discover what a woman's place in modern Chinese society is.

Outrage Coda. ***½ Takeshi 'Beat' Kitano completes his Outrage trilogy with this very entertaining finale. Kitano seems to enjoy diving into this particular yakuza universe, and Part Three is the most playful of the series.

The Tale. **½ Based on the writer/director's own experiences, this intelligently framed drama unfortunately suffers from sloppy, arm's length execution. Laura Dern anchors the film with an excellent performance, and it is a story that sadly remains as relevant now as when this particular crime occurred.

Wrath Of Silence. **** Crafted like a western, this beautifully shot drama from China details the efforts of a down-on-hisluck miner who desperately tries to find his missing son. Another pungent examination of how economical success has benefited a select few, who then ruthlessly crush those who don't have the power to protect either themselves or their livelihoods.

The Third Murder. ***½ From Hirokazu Kore'eda (whose Shoplifters is also screening), this differs somewhat from his other films by placing his charac-

ters within the framework of a courtroom thriller. His attention to character detail and interaction still remains, and proves to be more important than the mystery itself. Firstrate cast are all in fine form.

Thoroughbreds. **** Refreshingly smart U.S. black comedy dealing with two teenage girls who increasingly have murder on their mind. Top performances, a strong script, and thoughtful direction highlight a film that feels like a cross between Heathers and Compulsion.

Lean On Pete. **** The follow-up film from the director of 45 Years is a stunningly realised drama that takes its audience on quite a journey, radically changing as it goes on. Features terrific work from Charlie Plummer, Steve Buscemi, and Chloe Sevigny.

The Cured. **½ Yet another zombie movie, this starts off well, initially injecting some freshness into its familiar setting, but eventually falls into the routine. Watchable, with decent performances, including Ellen Page.

The Night Eats The World. ***½ Very odd entry in the well-worn zombie sub-genre, this views the material from a completely different angle, and largely succeeds.

Requires patience, and keeps the gore off-screen most of the time, but the rewards are worth it. Denis Lavant is perfectly, hilariously cast.

Lu Over The Wall. ***½ World-class animator Masaaki Yuasa, known for his hallucinogenic efforts, enters Hayao Miyazaki territory with this charming, if slightly overlong family/fantasy drama. A pity Yuasa's other current feature, Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, isn't included in the line-up, as it is definitely the better of the two films.

The Girl Without Hands. **** Uniquely animated French film centres on a young woman, who is sold off by her poor miller father to the devil, sending her on a journey that will contain both beauty and tragedy.

The Great Buddha +. **½ Occasionally clever and inventive, this sporadically involving Taiwanese film loses viewer interest once too often. It does however have a nicely symbolic, highly amusing final scene.

Dark River. **** Dour, atmospheric British drama centring on a young woman returning to the family farm after the death of her father, digging up painful memories as well as locking horns with her unpredictable older brother.

Superbly made, and filled with magnificent performances. Similar in some respects to The Levelling, but with a much darker heart.

Let The Corpses Tan. ***½ Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani are back with their latest 70's Italian-inspired homage, this time concentrating on a group of bank robbers who encounter many problems during their post-crime getaway.

The pair go beyond mere mimicry with meticulous skill, and their genuine affection for the genre and period is undeniable.

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.

■ During the 1960s Don Lunn dominated Melbourne radio, he was the fast talking "Daddio of the Radio."

Don had a legion of fans listening to his shows on the highly rating 3UZ which at that time was a Top 40 station.

Douglas Raymond Harold Lunn was born in England in 1934 and migrated to Tasmania.

He got into radio, adopted the stage name of Don Lunn, and developed a disc jockey style using an American accent.

He was a part of the magic era at The Greater 3UZ working with personalities such as Alan Lappan, Stan Rofe and Ken Sparkes.

Don interviewed many of the big visiting stars on radio and met his idol Frank Sinatra on three occasions.

Don's fan club in radio had a number of eager listeners who themselves went on to carve out radio careers.

One, my friend Peter Byrne, grew up listening to Don Lunn and eventually had the great thrill of joining him on air at 3UZ. Peter was doing midnight to dawn at the time, and Don Lunn the breakfast show, so their paths crossed at 5.30 every weekday morning.

Pete tells me that for the first two months of his time at 3UZ, he was so starstruck that he never actually laid eyes on Don. They worked from different studios, and Pete's sole concern was to time his last song out to precisely 5.30, because Don was such a pro-

fessional (and because Peter was scared not to!). They say you cannot pay a greater compliment to someone than to steal their material.

In the 12 months before he joined 3UZ, Peter was the midnight-to-dawn announcer at 4IP in Ipswich.

At 5.30 every morning, on his way home, he would park his car on Brisbane's Story Bridge, which acted like a massive aerial, and listen to Don Lunn opening his show on 3UZ. He used to pinch Don's opening joke and use it himself that next night.

After working at 3UZ for many years Don joined 3KZ where he presented, amongst others, the popular Six O'Clock Rock program. He also worked at 3DB, Gold FM and 3GL.

● Don Lunn Don ran a travel agency business for several years and in 1971 Philip Brady did some PR work with the company.

Don Lunn did announcing work at Channel 9 for several years. I was doing an afternoon segment on 3AK with Bruce Mansfield in the late 1990s when Don joined the station. He also did a weekly segment on 3AW's Remember When in 2000.

5

The last time I spoke to Don he told me he was hopeful of working in radio again. He was a good friend of actor-singer Ted Hamilton and was witness to the legal contracts for Ted's compositions to be recorded by artists such as Dean Martin and Glenn Campbell.

Ted and Don remained good friends over the years. Don Lunn passed away suddenly on September 7, 2006.

He had dropped his wife Camille at her work and died suddenly after he returned home. His funeral service was addressed by family members including Don's sons Michael and Craig, niece Danielle, nephew David and close friend Sam Holt.

The family arranged for his ashes to be interred in the Memorial Garden at St Peter's Catholic Church in Toorak.

A radio legend, who lives on in our memory Don Lunn.

Bob Rogers paid him a great compliment when he said: " for my money Don Lunn was the best disc jockey we've produced. He was certainly the most energetic and stylish performer of his time".

Kevin Trask Kevin can be heard on 3AW The Time Tunnel - on Remember When - Sundays at 9.10pm with Philip Brady and Simon Owens. And on 96.5 FM That's Entertainment - Sundays at 12 Noon

● Greg Bonham ■ Those with long memories will recall the talents of local boy Greg Bonham.

He was a regular vocalist on tv shows compered by Graham Kennedy, Ernie Sigley and others.

Greg then ventured to the States and that began a huge career, selling singles worldwide.

In Russia he sold 14 million records, while back home in the States he was a regular in Las Vegas, plus high energy appearances on the Petula Clark Show.

A family man , Greg died of a heart attack aged 69.

■ Unbeknown to many viewers of Studio 10, the live wire panelist Jonathan Coleman has for the past year undergone treatment for cancer.

We're happy to report he has responded successfully to treatment, and all is looking good. Jono is back to his bubbling best.

Who does Denis think he is?

■ We could be way off the mark but we have our suspicions about the recent holiday of presenter/entertainer Denis Walter.

Denis says he is sworn to secrecy but we reckon it could be a filming exercise of another episode of SBS Who Do You Think You Are? We do know he visited the UK to possibly research some hereditary facts on relatives. Keep watching your TV guides.

Getting out of the comfort zone ■ John Rozentals finds delight in the search for grape varieties different to the norm.

Topper's Mountain proprietor Mark Kirkby was obviously a fan of the slightly unusual when he selected varieties to plant in this highaltitude vineyard in New England, not all that far from the Queensland border.

His contract winemaker Mike Hayes, equally obviously, applauded Kirkby's approach.

Tannat is a red variety that appears in a few Australian vineyards and I'd heard of that one, but petit manseng was a new one on me, though it turns out that it appears in a few other Australian vineyards, too.

It's apparently an underrated white grape variety native to the Jurancon and Pacherenc du VicBilh areas in south-west France.

Its abnormally thick skin allows quite extraordinary accumulation of sugar without encouraging botrytis development in quite shrivelled berries, and in that corner of France petit manseng is normally used to produce naturally quite sweet white wines.

These wines apparently possess quite a distinctive character of stonefruit, citrus and sweet spice.

I did find some quite refreshing citrus character in the Topper's Mountain 2016 Wild-Ferment Petit Manseng (about $35) but otherwise it seemed to bear no relationship to these wines from south-

Parking in clearways and disabled bays

TILING

In the past few weeks, Murrindindi Shire Council's Community Safety team have been monitoring school crossings and parking bays around the municipality.

A number of people have been stopping in marked clearways and bus parking areas during school pick-ups and drop-offs. Stopping in these areas is potentially dangerous to both the parents and children in the illegally-stopped cars as well as the children on the buses. It is really important to remember when the 'school crossing' signs are out that you must obey any clearway signs displayed.

From 1 August 2018, Murrindindi Shire Council will be issuing fines to those stopped in clearways illegally. The fine amount is currently $159.

A number of people have also been parking in disabled bays across the Shire without displaying a valid disabled parking permit. If you have a disabled parking permit, please ensure it is displayed on your windscreen. Those found to be illegally using a disabled bay are liable for a fine of up to $159.

Between now and 1 September 2018, disabled parking bay offences will attract an official warning notice. From 1 September 2018, fines will be issued for these offences.

It's important that we remember to consider road safety around school crossings and be mindful of parking appropriately.

Local History

Breakaway bridge at Acheron ■ Bridges over the many rivers, creeks and streams running throughout Murrindindi Shire were vital for transporting travellers from one end of the shire to the other, says the Heritage Study completed in 2011 and 2014: Crossing the rivers began with barges and punts, and developed according to the available technology and finances often sought from the Colonial, later State Governments.

Alexandra and Yea, first designated Road Districts in 1868, progressed to Shire Council status in 1869 and 1873, respectively.

This change of status allowed the Shires to tender for, and construct, roads and bridges in their locality.

The Melbourne Road passing through Acheron and Taggerty dates from around 1870 when the area was surveyed.

A timber bridge over the Goulburn River at Acheron was built in c.1877 on land donated by Thomas Connelly.

Later, a single lane bridge was built. As the river widened, the bridge was extended and remodelled.

This bridge was swept away shortly after the First World War, c.1918, following several wet seasons.

Attempts were made to divert to original course of the river because of the many floods, caused by torrential rain in the headwaters.

The area became known as the Goulburn Breakaway.

Historian of the Taggerty Primary School, Peter Kerr, wrote that the remains of the timber bridge are still on the bed and banks of the river downstream of the existing bridge which was built to replace it.

The single-lane bridge, replacing the original, was built c.1920 by the Country Roads Board.

Handwritten notes on the reverse of photographs indicate that the bridge had five spans added on the south side c.1932 when the river shifted course approximately 150 feet.

The c1920 section of the bridge served for 12 years with only minor repairs.

Timber for the bridge came from the Dobson and Rennie families who lived nearby.

The term 'breakaway' describes the movement in the river, and the portion of the river that broke away during the floods of the early twentieth century.

The Breakaway Bridge crosses the Goulburn River where Hobans Road and Breakaway Road meet at the boundary between the localities of Acheron and Alexandra.

It is a timber pile and stringer bridge, with raker piles, cross braces and corbels.

Its structure is similar to that of the Country Roads Board's standard timber bridge introduced in the early 1920s.

A 1932 extension to the bridge after the 'Breakaway' was constructed in the same way.

It comprises the five spans on the south (Acheron) side. In all the bridge has nine spans and is 67.5 metres long (the individual spans measure 7.8, 8.3, 7.7, 7.3, 7.7, 8.7, 6.5, 6.6, and 6.9 metres).

It is a single-lane bridge with cross decking, timber kerbs and two strips of running boards.

Running boards were phased out in 1930 by the Country Roads Board,

■ Murrindindi Shire Council undertook works on the Breakaway Bridge and road in recent years.

In 2013, the Council repaired and refurbished the bridge over the Goulburn River.

The bridge was closed for some months so that strengthening and refurbishment could take place.

The handrail was made of timber wood again, as it was originally. Heavier loads - the fire truck, ambulances, school buses, were allowed.

Local History

The Parade: surveyed by Pinniger ■ The Parade precinct at Yea was laid out in 1855 as part of the survey of the township by Thos. Pinniger.

According to the Murrindindi Shire Heritage Study (2011-14), historic development of this precinct reflects its proximity to the town centre and to the railway station: It illustrates the development of Yea in the late 19th and early 20th centuries after the opening of the railway line.

The township was surveyed by Pinniger, and laid out in 1855 with the first land sale in 1856.

It was known as Muddy Creek until 1878 when it was formally renamed after Colonel Lacy Yea who was killed in the Crimean War. The Church of England erected in 1868 when the population of Yea was 250.

The railway had arrived in 1883, with an extension to Molesworth in 1889, chiefly for timber transport to Melbourne.

The reason for the distinctive layout of The Parade is unknown - the township of Yea was otherwise laid out on a typical grid pattern, with some concessions made to the location of existing tracks and physical features.

However, the location of the subdivision on the highest point in town and its distinctive layout with parallel streets (Raglan and Lyons Streets) incorporating a crescent (The SemiCircle) at the northern end recalls British town planning practices of the 19th century and is reminiscent of Henry Foot's c.1840s plan for the Brighton Estate and Clement Hodgkinson's c.1854 layout for St Vincent Place and surrounding streets in South Melbourne.

The 1855 plan for The Parade was not fully realised - a continuation of The Parade to a circular feature at the southern end, which a notation on plan indicates was to be reserved for an 'Episcopal' (Anglican) building did not eventuate (the Anglican church was built on another site .

The integrity of the layout was also disrupted somewhat by the later intervention of the Mansfield railway through the top of The Semi-Circle.

The lots on either side of The Parade were originally about one acre in area and extended all the way through to the parallel side streets.

Later subdivision has reduced the size of most the lots - typically the rear portion was excised to create separate lots with frontage to the side streets and/or the part of the lot with a frontage to The Parade was subdivided down the middle to create two lots.

Examination of some (but not all titles) indicates that many lots were not sold until the 1870s, and others as late as the 1890s.

Development appears to have commenced in the late 1880s and was associated with the significant growth of Yea in the late 19th and early 20th centuries after the opening of the railway in 1883.

Allotments 2 and 3 in the subdivision were acquired by the Catholic Church and the first Sacred Heart church, a timber building, was constructed in 1890.

A brick presbytery was built soon after. In 1902 the church was replaced by more substantial brick church.

The exact dates of the houses in the precinct are not known as this is

Landmark property ■ At the northern end of the precinct is the Catholic Church and Presbytery (No 9).

The Sacred Heart Church of 1902 is a red brick, gothic revival building with a slate roof with terracotta cresting.

Features include stained glass windows, gablet roof vents, decorative door hinges and a bluestone plinth and buttresses.

The siting of the church and presbytery in a prominent location give them landmark qualities, says the Murrindindi Shire Heritage Study.

■ A win for the girls against Belgrave at Yea but they certainly didn’t make it easy for us.

The girls still had to fight hard. Shayla Perry played a brilliant match from the first bounce and kicked the opening goal and continued to do so for the entire game.

Outstanding efforts throughout the match from Vanessa James, including some great tackles, rewarded by some free kicks. Brilliant mark in the middle of a pack by Lily Undie.

Great work from Cassy Wilsmore in the ruck.

Fantastic marking from Asha Close aswell as some great kicks including a goal in the second quarter. Kira Bradley ran and tackled hard throughout the match.

YEA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT SENIORS Kinglake 12.12 (84) defeated Yea 10.11 (71) Yea missed a golden opportunity to solidify their finals prospects, falling 13 points short against a Kinglake side that simply came to play.

The Tigers trailed by close to seven goals throughout the contest but rallied in the last quarter to trim the margin to less than 10 points, but the hosts held on for a deserved victory.

The Lakers had the wind in the opening term and were well on top, peppering the goals to open up a decisive 22-point advantage at the first break.

Yea failed to make the most of their time going to the scoring end, managing just two goals to four, which blew the buffer out to 33 points at half time.

The Tigers pegged back the ascendancy to an even five goals heading into the last term and despite booting 3.5 to 1.0, it wasn't enough to claim the four points.

Harrison Jarvie was outstanding in a tireless effort through the midfield, well supported by Adrian McCarthy and Jack Salau, while Daniel Evans was finding plenty of the footy before he left the field after a head knock in the last quarter.

Michael Curcio (three goals) lifted in the second half with a superb aerial performance, Ash Walsh chipped in with two majors and Riley Aldous was excellent late in the contest.

The Tigers now must knock off Yarra Glen at home this week to keep their finals hopes alive.

Kinglake 5.4 (34) defeated byYea 12.13 (85) Yea has continued its march towards finals action with a comprehensive 51-point victory over rivals Kinglake on the road.

The Tigers were never really threatened, keeping the Lakers goalless in the first quarter while slamming on three of their own to lead by 22 points at the opening break.

The home side hit back in the second with a more competitive brand of footy, but Yea were equal to the task, leaving the visitors with a fourgoal buffer at the major change.

The result was determined in a four goal to one third term and while the last quarter wasn't exactly thrilling, the Tigers got what they came here.

Nick Charles was superb with a five-goal haul, Darcy Pell dominated in the ruck and in the air around the ground, and Julian Mahon was a welcome return to the side with his hardness.

Cameron Evans (one goal) used the ball well in his first game back from a hamstring injury and Ben Middleton continued his great run of

NETBALL

A-GRADE This game was eagerly anticipated by both players and spectators after Kinglake's one-goal victory last time around.

Yea went in without two key players (Megan and Sam) but were still well matched for the game.

The pressure on both teams was evident in the first 10 minutes with both teams applying plenty of pressure and scoring was hard to come by.

As the quarter progressed the game opened up and Kinglake took the advantage, scoring the last few goals of the quarter to lead 13-10.

It was goal for goal in the first five minutes of the second quarter and then the Tigers really stepped up their game.

Full court defensive pressure and more controlled used of the ball gave the Tigers some real momentum and within five minutes they were out to a five-goal lead.

Kinglake settled with late goals to reduce the margin to two goals and set up a ripper second half.

Unfortunately the second half belonged to Kinglake. The Lakers took control of the game mid way through the third quarter and never looked back. Yea felt the pressure and lost their way for a short time, but it was enough time for a strong team like Kinglake to really do damage on the scoreboard with quick feeds into ring, putting the defenders out of play and precision shooting.

A nine-goal margin was doable for the Tigers in the last quarter but Kinglake’s ball use remained strong and both teams scored 11 goals for the quarter, keeping the nine-goal margin in Kinglake's favour.

Kinglake 54 def Yea 45 Goals: M. Martinov 27, N. Watts 18 Best: N. Watts, R. Hickey, G. Duncan B-GRADE B-Grade bounced back to the winners list with a comprehensive win over Kinglake.

Yea set up the victory with an outstanding first quarter, posting 21 goals to 12. Meg was a superb target at GS and she shot 18 of these goals in a dominant performance.

Yea’s dominance in defence was evident in the second quarter. Sophie Stares made a welcome return to the court at GK and alongside Lauren, they followed the coaching instructions at quarter time to protect the post, both girls reading the play beautifully to pick off many incoming balls.

Tara had a brilliant second quarter controlling the goal third for the Tigers, her movement and ball skills setting up numerous scoring opportunities.

Kate took over from Tara at WA in the second half and continued on exactly as Tara had, great movement and passing in the goal ring.

Yea’s other wing player, Regi, was fantastic in the second half, her work along the transverse line with Lauren pressured Kinglake into many errors, both girls pouncing on any loose ball.

By ¾-time the Tigers were 28 goals ahead and had no plans on stopping.

Sophie Watts would have been forgiven for slowing up in the C position after an outstanding running game for the first three quarters, but she just got better. Her attack on the ball, her drives to space and her defensive game was unbelievable and her ability to just keep running for her team was fantastic.

C-GRADE The C-Grade Tigers wanted to continue on with their great form from the week before and make their mark on this game from the first whistle and they succeeded tripling the Lakers score in the first.

Excellent ball movement into the ring and unanswered defensive pressure saw the second be more of the same. Yea up by 14 at half-time.

With the momentum the Tigers way Head Coach Melissa Martinov was able to make positional changes in all thirds which highlights the versatilty of this group and the adaptability of the individual players.

The last quarter saw some of the best passages of play in and around the ring by the Yea goalers and mid courters of the season and the defensive pressure of the defending end made scoring difficult for the Lakers.

This team is gelling together as a real unit and a force to reckon with at the right time of the season. 41 to 24, Yea the winners by 17.

D-GRADE Last time Yea met Kinglake the Tigers were the winners 27 to 8 and they knew it wouldn't be as easy this round missing their pivotal goaler Hannah Broderick with an ankle injury but after the disappointing game last week against Alexandra the D girls wanted to redeem themselves.

The game was played indoors which was a first for the season for the Yea girls and they took a little bit to adjust.

It was a fairly even for the quarter with both teams trying to figure each other out to gain the advantage. It was the Lakers by one point at the break.

The second was all Tigers with fantastic defensive pressure and good ball movement.

Kinglake was only able to score two goals to Yea’s 10.

The third was a real battle with both teams having equal ball time but because of the turnovers neither team was able to score easily with Yea winning the quarter by 2.

Up by 9 going into the fourth the D's knew they had to put their stamp on the game but the Lakers weren't going to go down without a fight.

Teagan Britton came off in the last due to a suspected thumb injury which allowed Ebony Edge to move from WD to GD and bring Trudy Birchall on into WD. Ebony was able to match up well on her more experienced opponent and Trudy didn't miss a beat and combined well with Jilly Hargreaves to bring the ball out of defence.

Kate Broadway in WA executed her directions perfectly and had the best game she has had in that position all season. Stacey Murray and Kristy Schaeffer connected well and shared the goaling workload. Caitlyn Broderick was tough and determined in C as always and was the conduit in bringing the ball out of defence or into attack. With a seven-goal quarter Yea were the victors, 28 to 16.

The weather didn’t deter the boys who gave it 100 per cent throughout the game. A strong Alexandra side took the win on their home ground.

It’s been a great season watching the boys grow and develop as a team. Despite not making the finals, the boys should be super proud of their effort finishing fifth on the ladder. The countdown for 2019 starts now.

Kinglake 12.12 (85) d Yea 10.11 (71) The boys have made a habit this year of starting games well and this match was no different with the boys having nine shots on goal but being a little wasteful only kicking four goals.

They were defensively strong all over the ground and kept Yea to only one goal.

The next quarter the boys were great again putting on another four goals and keeping Yea to two goals to take a healthy lead going into the half-time break.

Although we had good patches in the third we allowed Yea to kick four goals but we still took a 30-point lead into three-quarter time.

We prepared for Yea to come hard in the last quarter and they did getting a run on kicking a few goals to put them only eight points behind but to our credit we didn’t panic and held on to take a really well deserved 13-point win.

After having some close competitive efforts against strong sides in the middle of the year and falling short it was great to the see boys get reward for effort and put on a great show for all the past players who came to watch. Jack Hamilton, Josh Nixon and Matt Quinton all were fantastic in the win.

THORNTON-EILDON FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB REPORT ■ TEFDNC hosted Gembrook and Croydon North Women’s team lastweekend. It was a beautiful sunny day for all games scheduled.

It was fantastic to see so many supporters stick around and support our club, which is vital to support our players to be able to move forwards and grow our club into the future.

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL

First up for the day saw an early start for our Women’s Football team. South Croydon have been a tough opponent all year and quick which caught our girls napping during the first half.

A score was hard to come by but Croydon were far too clean with their disposals and got their rewards for good team play.

To our girls credit again which has been proven all year, they came out in the third quarter and applied the pressure to Croydon to halt the scoring.

Once again in the last quarter the girls kept playing out the game in true Thornton spirit but a loss unfortunately was the result today.

It was good learning experience for our girls on many fronts and I'm sure they are already looking forward to a better showing next week again at their home ground.

As per usual, girls improvement is our team’s mantra, and the club’s overall goal to look forward to next year knowing some foundations have been laid this year.

Team members such as Alexia Tash Tanika Lucy Emma Tanner and Cass prove the depth of improvement has been substantial and will assist our club in developing of women footballers in the future. Well done girls.

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

The outstanding shoot of the finals was David Black’s 150.26 only 0.4 off a perfect score.

The ECDRA shoot was at Violet Town and it was a three range (300, 500 and 600 yard) shoot for club championship points.

The weather was just out of the box, a beautiful winters day with bright clear light and of course that fickle Violet Town wind.

The full impact of the wind was seen in the fact that there were very few possible 60 points with Graeme Kerr 60.5, fresh off the plane from a family holiday in Europe and Marty Kelly 60.4 the only 60’s shot, Graeme taking top range score by 0.1.

Top shot for the day goes to, the ever consistent, Rosco Davis with a score of 267.10.

Other scores were: Graeme Kerr 263.70,

Geoff James 262.90, Marty Kelly 254.40, Brian Houlihan 248.60, Terry Gee 248.10, Neal Hambridge 243.10 and Richard Godden 204.30.

Note all score corrected using the MCSI to allow direct comparison between different shooting classes.

It was a special privilege to welcome visitor Brian McKenna who shot in the target rifle class with scores of 48.2 and 46.1.

New week shooting will be focused on the Goulburn ValleyDRA Prize shoot on Saturday and the Karramomus picnic shoot on Sunday.

Shooters please check the ECDRA web site calendar for the latest news as some who are not attending the prize shoot may be shooting at Violet Town.

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.
