This Week’s Question: I get pop ups telling me my PC or laptop has problems and I should call a number. Should I? Under no circumstances should you call any number or even open a chat window that you did not initiate! All too often we have customers telling us stories of how they were conned out of money or their details. It is easier to reverse a ‘No’ than fix a bad ‘ Yes’.

Cindy Health

■ KRISTIN MICHAELS, who last year proposed a management merger of Yea and Seymour Hospitals, has left the local Hospital Board.

She has been replaced as Yea and District Memorial Hospital Chairman by Ian Marshman. A number of new Board appointments have been made.

Leaving the Board are Kristin Michaels, Karl Anderson, Greg Chivers and Lyn Southurst.

The newly-constituted Board had its first meeting on Monday, July 30.

The Board now comprises Ian Marshman (Chair), Gary Pollard (Deputy Chair), Kirstie Fotheringham, Dr Sarah Anderson, Kerry Stubbings, Del Leslie and Cindy Heath.

Lorina Gray, Director of Nursing/Manager at the Yea Hospital, on Friday (Aug. 10) issued a news release with details of the new make-up of the Board.

Outgoing Chair, Kristin Michaels, was in the local headlines in May last year when she foreshadowed a possible merger between Yea and Seymour Hospitals, subject to due diligence.

Kristin Michaels Ms Michaels had indicated that the due diligence study was to have been completed by September last year.

The Local Paper has made ongoing requests for news of the possible merger, without reply being received by Ms Michaels’s Board.

Yea woman Jenny Keast (nee Purvis) last year resigned her membership of the Yea Hospital Board over the planned merger issue.

Ms Michaels has already removed reference to the Yea Hospital Board role from her current online professional biography. ● Meet the new Yea Hospital Board, see Page 10

■ Flowerdale Hotel is jumping on the hay wagon to help Aussie farmers in trouble. Customers who order a parma from the hotel’s specials board in August, will see $5 donated from every parma sold to drought-affected farmers.

Roo concerns ■ “Landholders are fearful that Daniel Andrews plans to put a stop to the kangaroo pet food scheme if he gets back into government,” said Euroa MLA Steph ryan.

“Landholders won’t be the only ones to lose, with jobs at pet food processors at Seymour and Stanhope also on the line.

“If Labor supported the kangaroo pet food program, they would have made it ongoing when it first expired in March this year, instead of just extending it past this year’s election.”

Ms Ryan said concerns about the explosion in kangaroo numbers across the region were growing as seasonal conditions worsened.

Wellbeing event ■ The Whittlesea Library, Whittlesea Community House and DPV Health are hosting a free afternoon for women to come along and learn about, experience and enjoy lots of things that can contribute to their wellbeing.

There will be stalls, demonstrations and lots to try including: Qigong, Pilates, Head and Shoulder massages, Meditation, Blood Pressure check, Aromatherapy, Reiki, Women's Health Information, Healthy smoothies, DIY with Bunnings and a CWA afternoon tea.

The session will be held from 1pm-3pm on Friday, September 7 at the Whittlesea Community Activity Centre.

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

Ministry of Coffee now in LA ■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.

Out and About

Aussies show how to make coffee

■ Ministry of Coffee, located on Glendon Avenue in Westwood Village, has all-day breakfast and lunch.

Manager Nicole Rodrigues said she thinks MOC is different from other coffee shops in Westwood because it roasts its coffee in-house and provides a full food menu.

As opposed to shops like Starbucks, where people often get their drinks to go, MOC allows patrons to sit and order food from their kitchen.

This is the store's first location in the US; other locations include Sydney and Istanbul, Turkey.

Rodrigues said MOC's owners chose to open in Westwood because they wanted to serve both the UCLA community and other local residents.

The Westwood location is currently importing its coffee beans from roasting facilities at MOC's headquarters in Sydney, Australia.

The idea for Ministry of Coffee is to offer a mostly Australian cafe experience complete with flat whites, morning egg sandwiches alongside some Turkish treats.

There will be lots of lamb merguez sausage around, plus pancakes, a za'atar-roasted chicken salad sandwich, and Vegemite toast.

Chef Luke Reyes is in as the overall development lead for the company's entire North American restaurant operations.

Of course, this is far from the first Australian breakfast and coffee operator to come to LosAngeles. Bondi Harvest has the aesthetic nailed out in Santa Monica, while Paramount Coffee Project has been a colorful entrant into that same genre for a couple of years now.

The sunny new Great White in Venice also follows the Australian coffee trend, while Little Ripper Coffee in Glassell Park makes for a more simplified mostly grab-and-go spot.

Bowie’s first recording

● Pictured trying out the newest Australian coffee experience at the Ministry of Coffee in Westwood Village is international film director Rod Hardy with Managing Director of Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites, Alan Johnson.

Schneider Still Can't Pay

50 mil. visitors ■ Tourism is a major contributor to the economy of Los Angeles County. Set to draw 50 million visitors a year to Los Angeles County. The figures have risen from 42.2 million visitors that jumped last year to 45.6 million and this year the goal is 50 million visitors which would generate $1.7 billion in taxes and support 528,000 jobs.

Viper Room sold ■ It's all happening on Sunset Boulevard just blocks away from the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Eateries and hotels with a few live music venues make up the magic of Sunset Boulevard.

Sadly the music venues are disappearing.

The latest one to fall to the developers charge is the legendary Viper Room, 8852 Sunset Boulevard.

Four Sunset Strip properties including one in which The Viper Room nightclub and rock music venue is a tenant have been sold for $80 million.

The Viper Room originally was a jazz club called the melody Room and was frequented by customers that included Bugsy Siegel and Mickey Cohen.

It eventually was rebranded and opened as The Viper Room in 1993, the same year actor River Phoenix suffered a fatal drug overdose at the club on Halloween morning.

The Viper Room was once partly owned by actor Johnny Depp and became a hangout of Hollywood stars.

■ It's a voice that would go on to become one of the most famous and distinctive in rock history. David Bowie's firstever lead vocal recorded in a studio in 1963 - when he was just 16 years old - has been rediscovered by chance, stashed in an old bread basket.

In the only known recording of his first lead vocal session with his first band, The Konrads, Bowie can be heard singing I Never Dreamed. The demo is now expected to fetch £10,000 at auction.

Konrads drummer and manager David Hadfield, who said he found it when moving home, rediscovered the tape. The tape was hidden in an old breadbasket along with booking forms, photographs, promotional sketches, letters and bills, in a loft above the garage. Hadfield recalled: "We had decided that we would do a couple of guitar instrumentals and one original song. I chose I Never Dreamed as it was the strongest; the other two were a bit weak. I also decided that David was the best person to sing it and give the right interpretation.

So this became the very first recording of David Jones singing 55 years ago." Jones would go on to change his surname toBowie to avoid confusion with aDavy Jones of The Monkees.

First-ever parking meter

● David Cassidy

■ Carl C. Magee in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma invented the parking meter in 1935.

The first meter was installed there later that year, guaranteeing drivers a parking space for an amount of purchased time.

Used until the 1980s, Magee's original design had a coin acceptor, a dial, and a visible flag indicating the expiration of paid time.

Reverend C.H. North was the first person in the US to get a parking ticket because of an expired meter.

David Cassidy’s money ■ David Cassidy's son Beau is set to inherit a lot more money than expected; up to $1.68 million more. The Partridge Family star's estate was originally estimated to be worth around $150,000 in assets, there were concerns that after paying off all of his debts, which totaled $186,840, there wouldn't be much left.

However, the estate reportedly now claims that after Cassidy's debts are paid off, it would be left with assets and cash with a value of approximately $230,000.

www.gavinwood.us

■ After being released from jail early, former Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider has asked the court to restore his original jail sentence for unpaid spousal support in June.

Schneider was sentenced to three days behind bars after he failed to pay his ex-wife, Elvira ‘Elly’ Schneider, more than $150,000 of alimony that he owed her. But the actor barely had to serve his three-day jail time. Schneider was released from jail on the same day as his booking due to the facility's overcrowding. But the 58-year-old actor recently revealed that he is "leveraged to the max" when it comes to money admitting to being bogged down by loans and said that he would "unlikely" be able to comply with the court's conditions to pay his wife the amount of money she is owed. So, instead, the actor asked the court to let him serve his full sentence.

Rich man Jeff Bezos ■ The Amazon.com Inc. founder's net worth broke $150 billion in New York on Monday morning, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

That's about $55 billion more than Microsoft Corp. cofounder Bill Gates, the world's second-richest person.

Bezos, 54, has now topped Gates in inflation-adjusted terms.

The $100 billion mark that Gates hit briefly in 1999 at the height of the dot-com boom would be worth about $149 billion in today's dollars.

That makes the Amazon chief executive officer richer than anyone else on earth since at least 1982, when Forbes published its inaugural wealth ranking.

Jeff Bezos Facts: 1. Bezos makes more money in one minute than the average millennial makes in a year.

2. Bezos has more than four times as much money as his alma mater, Princeton University.

3. He's one of the top 25 largest landowners in America.

4. He's building the biggest home in Washington, DC (aside from The White House).

5. He may be 'the first 12-digit man,' but his net worth could go even higher.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs FILM: THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY: Cast: Lily James, Jessica Brown Findlay, Matthew Goode, Penelope Wilton, Tom Courtenay, Michiel Huisman.

Genre: Drama/History/Mystery/Romance.

Year: 2018.

Rating: M. Length: 124 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: A writer forms an unexpected bond with the residents of Guernsey Island in the aftermath of World War II, when she decides to write a book about their experiences under Nazi occupation during the war.

A beautifully realized screen adaptation of the popular novel of the same name by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, Lily James (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!) gives a superb performance as the young war scarred writer who is soon gripped by both enchanting beauty and unexpected horror as she attempts to unravel a mystery among the curiously quirky locals of Guernsey.

The supporting cast that includes Michiel Huisman as the young farmer with a dark past, Jessica Brown Findlay as the mysterious Elizabeth and Matthew Goode as the publisher all excel, however, it is screen veteran Tom Courtenay, and most notably, Penelope Wilton as the widow drowning in the grief of two world wars, who carry the emotionally scarred and silent weight of both past and present with searing intensity and unwavering conviction.

Filmed with striking beauty, finely paced and brimming with superbly realized period detail, costume and production design, only in its final moments does it begin to falter with a seemingly hasty and all too rounded conclusion.

Nonetheless, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994), "Donnie Brasco" (1997) and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (2005) Director Mike Newell has ultimately created, an enthralling, intelligent, respectful and poignant historical-mystery-romantic-drama that draws you in on its hypnotic tide and envelops you with richly defined characters and gripping historical events, all surrounded by breathtaking beauty, and infused with a dark underlying charm and rich emblematic ambiguity that won't let go.

FILM: GREASE - 40th Anniversary: Cast: John Travolta, Olivia Newton John, Stockard Channing, Eve Arden, Frankie Avalon, Edd Byrnes, Joan Blondell, Sid Caesar, Jeff Conaway.

Genre: Musical/Romance.

Year: 1978.

Rating: PG. Length: 110 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: A musical about teens in love in the 50's! - it's California 1959 and greaser Danny and Australian Sandy are in love, they spend time at the beach, and when they go back to school, but what neither of them knows is that they both now attend Rydell High.

Now Danny's the leader of the T-Birds, a group of black leather jacket-wearing greasers, while Sandy hangs with the Pink Ladies, and when they clash at a Rydell school rally, Danny isn't the same Danny from the beach, so they try to be like each other, but will they be able to rekindle their romance?

Energetic and highly infectious 1950s nostalgic song-fest brimming with hit songs and perfect movie-star power is about as much fun movie-going can get, and then some, and 40 years later it has lost none of its bounce and toe-tapping steps, along with sprightly humour filled with joyous innuendo and satire.

John Travolta and Olivia Newton John are perfectly cast as the star crossed lover birds, and the stellar supporting cast that includes Stockard Channing, Jeff Conaway, and veterans Eve Arden, Frankie Avalon, Edd Byrnes, Joan Blondell and Sid Caesar match them frame-by-frame right up to the rousing finale.

Primarily a contemporary fantasy about a 1950's teen-age musical, from the opening animated titles and title song written by Barry Gibb and sung by Frankie Valli you are hooked, all brought together beautifully by outstanding period detail, set and costume design.

An imaginative, funny, upbeat, poignant, high spirited fantasy about 1950s teenage life is as far removed from reality as it gets, but there lies its unique and undeniable charm, an old-fashioned and sentimental journey of old-school Hollywood filmmaking and storytelling through music that resonates from generation to generation, and will continue to do so for generations to come!

FILM: CROOKED HOUSE: Genre: Crime/Mystery/Drama.

Cast: Max Irons, Glenn Close, Terence Stamp, Gillian Anderson.

Year: 2017.

Rating: M. Length: 115 Minutes .

Stars: **½ Verdict: In this Agatha Christie's tale, a spy-turned-private-detective is lured by his former lover to catch her grandfather's murderer before Scotland Yard exposes dark family secrets.

Like all Agatha Christie offerings the element of theatricality is high as the driving force, however, this lesser known tale from the Dame of murder and mystery offers plenty of the traditional twists and turns to relish, however, it comes not without its creaky flaws and lack of much needed wit or cynicism and characters depicted in more as a caricature from beneath the surface where the bodies are buried than from above it.

On the bright side, the stellar cast is an enticing one and they provide delightful moments of aristocratic eccentricity, most notably an almost unrecognizable and delightfully quirky Gillian Anderson, and screen veteran Terence Stamp as the Chief Inspector.

All told, high production values suffer at the hands of poor direction

by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, who previously gave us the superbly powerful and haunting, "Sarah's Key" in 2010, and even though it does not break any new ground, there's enough here between the dead and the living to keep you entertained and guessing right up to the end, but only just.

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.

■ I can remember going to the dances at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Hawthorn in the late 50s and seeing singers like Dorothy Baker and Frankie Davidson.

I was fascinated by Frankie, he had a nice crooning voice and was able to work comedy into his performances.

Many readers would also remember him singing at the Hawthorn Town Hall dances on a Saturday night.

Frankie was born in Melbourne in 1934 and always wanted be an entertainer.

In his teenage years he was studying to be a metallurgist and was named "Victoria's Apprentice of the Year".

Thank goodness he chose to pursue his career as an entertainer. Frankie began singing at various dances, clubs and coffee lounges.

In July 1956 Frankie was in a recording studio to record his take on the Bill Haley song Rock A Beatin' Boogie with Max Bostock and the Ziegfeld Palais Orchestra.

He made regular singing appearances on the new medium of television in shows such as Bandstand, The Evie Hayes Show and Six O'Clock Rock.

Frankie co-hosted Two's Company with Heather Horwood on ABC Television.

In 1962 Frankie Davidson had a No 1 hit song with Have You Ever Been to See Kings Cross?

In 1963 Frankie was the outright winner in

Public hoodwinked with popularity of sauvignon blanc ■ It disturbs me quite profoundly when I see a couple of bays of bottleshop shelving devoted to sauvignon blanc, and riesling downgraded to a miscellaneous classification of 'other white varieties'.

Similarly when restaurant wine lists are dominated by a dozen savvies and rieslings are lucky to be mentioned.

Hey, we're talking here about one of the world's great white varieties, something that in any pecking order should sit alongside chardonnay and perhaps semillon.

James Halliday, perhaps THE guru of Australian wine commentators, got it right at a tasting of past vintages of Tim Adams rieslings a few years back when he commented about how outstanding and fresh they all seemed, and expressed his dismay at how highly rated sauvignon blanc was in our marketplace.

Of course, those in charge of organising the shelf space and the wine lists will plead that they're just reflecting public tastes and demand.

All I can respond with is that the public is obviously easily hoodwinked.

I guess that one of the things drinkers are reacting to is the ease with which they can pick the grape variety that they have in the glass when they're drinking sauvignon blanc.

And I'll give them that, even if often the wine is made from underripe, overcropped fruit.

Kellock Lodge

Local Briefs Egg farm research

● From Page 9

Hats off to Larry

■ Pheasant Creek egg farmer Philip Szepe and his family, which own Kinross Farms, are involved with a new research project aimed at revealing what Australians think about their industry.

Australian Eggs, an industry-owned research organisation has invested in the project that is being undertaken by the CSIRO. Philip’s family commenced egg farming in 1966 and he is the second generation to run the business, with a third generation currently attending university.

■ A vote of thanks to Larry Fallon, for his work in negotiating the community buyback of Kellock Lodge from the Diocese of Wangaratta, was heartily supported at Monday’s public meeting. The meeting also thanked outgoing Kellock Lodge Board members.

No apologies

■ A proposal that fractured relationships be rebuilt was lost at Monday’s Kellock Lodge public meeting.

It was unsuccessfully moved that a committee be formed of two local representatives and two Friends of Kellock Lodge members, to re-affirm community values, and facilitate any apologies that might be needed after the recent community debates over the future of Kellock Lodge.

Part of the motion looked towards rebuilding the reputation of St John’s Anglican Church, Alexandra. The motion was defeated.

● Janet Morton and Melissa Cashmore featured on WIN News on Monday night, with coverage of the Flanny For A Farmer in Alexandra.

Also appearing on TV was Vicky Draper of Alexandra Primary School.

Local People

Ready, set, go!

New Board

■ A new Kellock Lodge Board of Management could be sitting as early as this week.

It is expected that Larry Fallon will be Chairman, taking over that role from John Sharwood.

The Bishop of Wangaratta, the Rev. John Parkes, or his nominee, is expected to sit on the Board until the ‘sale’ of the bed licences is completed.

After that time, it is expected that the Bishop (or nominee) will retire from the Board, and that the connection with the Anglican Diocese/St John’s Wangaratta will not continue.

F’book lights up

■ Social media lit up after Monday’s public meeting with messages of elation, and congratulations, especially towards organiser Larry Fallon.

But John Hunter, husband of outgoing Kellock Lodge Board member of Ann Hunter (a supporter of Bishop John Parkes’s proposal), fired some sour shots at local residents.

Bette Boote said of the $3.5 million buyback by the Alexandra community, and with the return gifting of the Kellock Lodge by the Church: “How very bl** dy generous of them not !”

John Hunter replied: “A comment that only shows how ignorant and misled you have been.”

Andrew Edwards said: “Good deal for the church given their zero investment.”

John Hunter: “This comment shows how ignorant and misled the community has been.

Hopefully people might seek the real facts now.”

Dianne Cameron said: “The church get what the bishop wanted but Kellock gets rid of the church. Well done to each and every person who did their bit to help this happen.”

John Hunter said: “You still don't get it Dianne! Hopefully the truth will come out eventually as to how you have been misled.”

Approval step ■ A Victorian churchman says that the Wangaratta Diocese’s disposal of the Kellock Lodge bed licences for $3.5 million to a new Alexandra not-for-profit entity, will need to be ratified by the Archbishop-in-Council in Melbourne. “This should be a formality.”

Previously Archbishop Philip Freier did not wish to become involved in the Kellock Lodge dispute, but he offered his services as a moderator, if all parties wished it.

‘Creedence’ show ■ Beaufort Manor, Yea, will be the venue for a Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute fr5om 7pm on Saturday, September 22.

Tommy Smith will appear as Tom Fogerty, and Laine ‘Doc’ Smith will play ‘John Fogerty. Tickets are on sale at $30 per person, with drinks available at bar prices. Supper will be provided.

No comment yet ■ The new board of the Yea and District Memorial Hospital is not in a position to comment on the proposed merger with Seymour Health, but expects to be able to do so in the relatively near future.

When that occurs a Board spokesman said it will ensure that they communicate properly with The Local Paper and other local media. ● Luke Miller, Ivy Lanigan, Mrs Brown, Tiarnee Creed, Velvet Fontana and Judd Hargreaves show off their work at Sacred Heart School, Yea. ■ Ready, Set, Go - a program for kinder chil- facilitated by teacher, Suzanne Brown. dren in preparation for school next year - has The focus is on preparing the children for started at Sacred Heart Primary School, Yea.

Seymour Cup axed ■ Racing Victoria has cancelled the running of the 2018 Seymour Cup, reports the Seymour Telegraph.

RV said Seymour’s four race meetings between August and October would be transferred to allow additional time for the track to improve following ongoing investigations into its performance.

The October 21 cup meeting will now be run at Cranbourne and will retain a listed $200,000 1600 m event as its headline. But it will not carry the title of the Seymour Cup, reports The Telegraph.

Dead platypus

■ A platypus has been found dead in a killer opera house net, on the banks of the Yea River.

Forest and Wildlife Officers are continuing to fight a battle against the number of people still using these restricted nets in Victorian waterways. These nets are a death trap for native animals such as platypuses and turtles.

It's illegal to use or possess opera house nets, without authorisation, in all Victorian public waterways. From July 1 next year the ban will be extended to include private waters.

If you have information or have observed instances where platypuses have drowned in these nets, please contact Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000 or the Customer Service Centre on 136 186.

Dog stolen ■ A border collie in the care of Murrindind Shire Council, and receiving ongoing medical treatment, was stolen from the Yea Pound this weekend.

Council officers attended the pound on Monday morning to check up on the dog, only to find that she had been taken and someone had damaged the pound in the process.

YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT SENIORS Powelltown 14.10 (94) defeated Yea 11.12 (78) Yea's finals hopes are hanging by a thread following disappointing 16-point loss to Powelltown in heavy conditions on the road.

In an eerily similar match to the Tigers’ defeat at the hands of Kinglake two weeks ago, Yea failed to fire a shot early and despite winning the inside 50 count in the first term, were held goalless as Powelltown slotted three of their own.

The second term saw the visitors hit the scoreboard with two majors, but the Demons were up for the challenge, piling on five goals to take a commanding 37-point buffer into the half time break.

Four goals apiece in the third quarter left the Tigers in a vulnerable position at the final change and despite slamming on 5.5 to 22 in the last term, the damage had been done.

Riley Aldous and Harrison Jarvie worked tirelessly through the middle of the ground in a taxing contest, while Ash Walsh and Daniel Evans offered plenty of drive from defence.

Aidan McSpeerin was solid in the back half in his return from a hamstring injury, Adrian McCarthy won a stack of the ball and Patrick Evans booted five goals.

Although Yea had a long list of players injured or unavailable on the weekend, it was still a bitter pill to swallow after accounting for Powelltown comfortably earlier in the season.

Yea will need to knock off Gembrook-Cockatoo in their final match of the home and away season this Saturday and rely on results from Alexandra's games to fall their way.

Goalkickers: P. Evans 5, H. Jarvie, J. Carroll, B. Clements, A. McCarthy, R. Aldous, M. Curcio Best Players: R. Aldous, H. Jarvie, A. McSpeerin, P. Evans, A. McCarthy, A. Walsh.

RESERVES

Powelltown 7.4 (46) defeated by Yea 8.6 (54) It wasn't pretty and it wasn't easy but Yea did enough to come away with the four points, hanging on against a determined Powelltown outfit to win by eight points.

In sloppy conditions, it was always going to be hard work and after an opening term that saw the ball move quickly from end to end, the Tigers led by the slimmest of margins.

A three-goal-to-two second term saw the visitors stretch their lead to a solitary major, before Yea turned it on in the premiership quarter to take a 25-point buffer into the final break.

However, the Demons weren't done and came storming home, booting the only three goals of the quarter but ultimately falling short to hand the Tigers their 11th win of the season.

Eddie Neilson was outstanding in the midfield, Ian Porter relished the wet weather with a bruising performance and Emerson Daines put together a strong effort for the third consecutive week.

NETBALL

Yea made the long trip to Powelltown on Saturday in wet and cold conditions. The trip home was made easier with the netballers all recording wins, the fifth time this season that all four sides have won on the day.

D-GRADE D-Grade started the day in the toughest conditions, a very wet surface and constant rain all throughout the game.

YEA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT After last week’s loss, and missing a couple of players, this side could have been forgiven for having a hard day but the girls handled the conditions really well and combined as a team to produce a good four-quarter performance.

Em Watts made her post baby comeback to help out the team this week in goals and her team mates and coaches were full of praise of her performance afterwards. Yea led the whole game and finished it well to record a confidence boosting win 16-8.

C-GRADE C-Grade had a tough battle against Powelly, really having to fight their way back into the game after half time.

After taking a three-goal lead into quarter time, the Tigers had a disastrous second quarter. Powelltown were the much better team and restricted Yea to just three goals for the quarter whilst they scored much more freely to reverse that margin to their advantage at half-time.

The Tigers scrapped their way through the third quarter and improved as the second half progressed, outscoring the home team 19-10 to take out a hard fought six-goal victory.

Whilst the girls won't be impressed with their performance they can take comfort knowing that they fought their way out of it and still came away with the victory.

B-GRADE B-Grade were lucky enough to perhaps have the best conditions of the day, the court still slightly slippery but the sun making a welcome appearance during the game.

Powelltown proved hard to shake in the first half of the game and Yea really had to work hard to score. The Tigers intensity lifted late in the half and their attack to the ball and full court defensive efforts resulted in them capitalising on both teams centre passes and pushing out to a handy 10-goal lead at half-time.

The third quarter was evenly scored but it was the last quarter when the Tigers ran away with the game. Powelltown were kept goalless until late in the quarter, only managing 3 to the Tigers 14 for the quarter. Yea winners by 21 goals.

A-GRADE A-Grade produced another good win, the four points put in the bank by half time, after a 19 to 3 second quarter.

Both teams took their time to settle in the first quarter, the conditions still quite slippery and the rain starting to fall again.

Yea always had the edge but with only a 4 goal lead at the first break they really had to put their foot down. That outstanding second quarter put a 17-goal gap between the sides at half time and Yea were able to control the game and momentum to continue on with a solid second half, winning 60-31.

Yea were able to make multiple changes throughout their midcourt and defensive circle during the game, with no disruption to the quality of the team's play, which will be a real key to their success during the upcoming finals series.

Next weeked Yea hosts Gembrook in our final home and away match for the season. The girls would love to finish the season off with 4 wins on our home court and look forward to the challenge.

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT SATURDAY

■ The AFLYarra Ranges League Round 16 of the 2018 season last Saturday saw the Rebels travel to Gembrook for two games of football and four games of netball, whilst Emerald who were to host the Rebels Under 18s were unable to field a team and gave a forfeit.

RESERVES The Reserves, with seven changes, challenged second placed Gembrook-Cockatoo and needed a win to keep their slim Finals chances alive and started the game well, matching it with the local side in the wet, slippery conditions.

Daniel Roper and young Jake Keath were doing well in the ruck and Michael Miller and Phil Heveren were providing a target up forward.

Second quarter goals to Miller and Corey Jack allowed the Rebels to go to half-time with a narrow three-point lead.

After half-time as conditions improved the home side was more effective up forward and despite the efforts of Sam Kidd and Chase Pearce in defence, went to a 17-point lead at the last change.

The last quarter followed a similar pattern as although Alex had their share of the ball in the midfield they could not make any impression on the scoreboard, Gembrook 7.10 (52) to Alex 3.7 (25).

Awards: Caltex $25 fuel card - Daniel Roper, Alex Sportspower $20 award - Jake Keath, Grant St Grocer $20 meal - Travis Carter, JAMMM Catering $20 meal - Sam Kidd, Buxton Hotel $20 meal - Chase Pearce.

SENIORS The Seniors, in fifth place took on fourth placed Gembrook and made three changes with Tom Halligan, Conor Heaslip and Jonathan Noy coming in to replace Jedd Hamill, Sam Kidd and Ben Woollard.

The weather on top of the hill varied from heavy rain and hail to sunshine as the game unfolded whilst the ground was in good condition.

Alexandra was first to score with a behind at the northern end before Gembrook forwarded but Alexandra was able to clear to Brayden Norris whose long shot added a second behind.

The home side kicked the first goal of the game as heavy rain began to fall and the Alex defence was now under pressure as Steve Steiner and Brandon Kapakoulakis cleared temporarily.

The rain passed but a defensive kick missed its intended target and allowed an easy Gembrook goal as the Brookers were now getting on top and found targets in scoring positions to kick consecutive goals.

The ball was spending 80 per cent of the time in the Alexandra defensive area and it looked a long day in store for the visitors with Lee Ragg also off with a shoulder injury as Alex started the second quarter.

Alex won a free within kicking distance but messed up the opportunity as Alex was tackling strongly and Steve Steiner won a free kick and found Norris within scoring distance but again only a behind.

Former North Melbourne defender Michael Firrito was using the bell well by hand to bring Gembrook teammates into the game and they kicked the first goal of the quarter but finally Alex goaled after Joe Daniel marked strongly and Ben Cooper finished well.

The Alex defence still had plenty to do but the Rebels were much more competitive and Nick Waugh's goal reduced the margin at half-time.

Gembrook started well after the main break with a couple of goals but Alex was just as committed and was rewarded with goals to Joe Daniel and Matt Steiner.

Conor Heaslip and Jake Steyger defended well for Alex and Norris also found the target as the Rebels matched the home side everywhere but on the scoreboard.

Having fought back over the middle quarters

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

but not making any great inroads into the margin, Alex could have resigned themselves to a 10-goal plus loss but they continued to work hard and with four last quarter goals matched it with the home side as the final margin was as it was at quarter time, final scores Alex 9.7 (61) to Gembrook 14.16 (100).

Best players included Joe Daniel (3 goals) who has proved a good pick-up mid-season with his marking up forward a feature, Ben Cooper and Michael Coombs continue to win the hard contests in close whilst Jake Steyger who had to do the bulk of the ruck work after quarter time, Jack Goonan, Conor Heaslip and Tom Rouget. Alexandra's chance of playing in the finals is still is in their own hands - win the next two games and they finish fifth.

Under 11s Netball Alexandra 9 defeated by Seymour 11 The Rebels lost twice during the home and away season to Seymour who have shown themselves to be one of the top sides but the continued improvement in the players has reduced the margin each time they have played, this time only losing by 2 in the Preliminary Final.

Well done to coach Penny Van Lierop, all the players and their families on a great season.

Under 13s Netball Alexandra 33 defeated Tabilk 18 The Rebels lost both games to Tabilk during the home and away season but played great netball to turn those results around in the Preliminary Final and now progress to the Grand Final to take on Euroa at Kings Park in Seymour on Sunday.

Again, Euroa has had the edge during the season but as we have seen, Finals are a new season and so the Rebels look forward to the challenge. Good luck to coaches Mandy and Shona Gesler and all the players.

A very big thank you to the above award sponsors for their continued support of our junior footballers and netballers in 2018. All Grand Finals will be played at Kings Park in Seymour on Sunday (Aug. 19).

The Junior Presentation function for all four

Alexandra Football-Netball Club football and three netball teams will be held on Friday, August 31 at the Club rooms with a 5.30 pm for a 6pm start, free entry and everyone is welcome.

- Ray Steyger

The lead up shoot “the Duncan” was a lot of fun as well as being frustrating as Marty could not shoot a 60 throughout the entire match. His consistency and close attention to detail paid off with a third place in the grand aggregate.

It was then onto the three days of the Queens over the same ranges. Marty said the notebook was full and his confidence was high until the first stage. Yes, the "washing machine” was back with a vengeance.

More notes and an exhausting three days as Marty and his 180 fellow competitors struggled to master the conditions trying to make sense of the washing machine.

It was a tough shoot and the absolute highlight being the top score at 800 yards. Marty said it was the biggest shoot he had contested so far and to be part of 181 shooters on 30 electronic targets on the Commonwealth Games Range was a very special experience, one that cannot be replicated easily.

The fellowship of the others was very positive and at all times helpful as everyone tried to master the conditions in their own way. Marty said in such a big field a place on the podium was highly prized and to win a range was just so good.

Marty said things might have ben a bit better if had not shot beautiful pinhole centre on his neighbours target on the second round at 800 yards loosing six points in one shot.

Even so he would have come fourth at the second 800 and gained one place in the grand aggregate.

Marty said it was well worth the long drive if only to see 30 electronic targets in use at a

major prize shoot. The target system is the same used by the ECDRA at Violet Town, they worked with super efficiency all week with results posted before the shooter had left the mound.

Marty finished fourth overall for the Duncan and Queens so the miss at 800 yards cost him a podium finish.

Meanwhile back at Violet Town, Peter Daldy and Brian Houlihan managed to squeeze in a practice shoot on Thursday, Peter shooting target rifle and Brian F Standard at 500 yards the results were: Peter Daldy, Target Rifle maximum score per stage 50.10 the results were 50.5, 45.2, 46.2, 46.2 = 187.11 out of 200.40. Brian Houlihan with a maximum score of 60.10 per stage; 56.3, 49.2, 56.3 =161.8 out of 180.30.

As we know Friday started well but the forecast for Saturday was far from encouraging and late Friday night the planned first round of the Chase Hayes long range pennant at Katandra was postponed to Saturday August 18 starting at noon or before if shooters can make it.

This means there will be no shooting at Violet Town this Saturday and shooters are reminded to check the calendar on the ECDRA web site at ECDRA.com.au for the latest news of shoots especially to see if there will be a shoot on Wednesday.

- Robert Chaffe

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT ■ Marty Kelly won a gold medal at the 800 yard range during the Queensland Rifle Association”s Queens Prize shoot held on the Belmont range over the past week.

The Queens competition is in two parts a two day shoot as a lead up called the Duncan and then a three day shoot for the Queens prize.

Marty was far from home in more ways than one, the heavy sub tropical air took some adjusting to as the flags did not respond to the wind as they do "down south”.

Marty said you were going along fine and then the “washing machine struck”. Washing Machine?

Marty said that was what the wind was like it started from nowhere and swirled around the range like clothes in a top loading washing machine.

Then it would just as quickly stop but with a totally different set of adjustments required by the shooter.

It was not much fun but the notebook full of jotting showed that Marty not only recorded all his adjustments he had noted down all the things he learnt about the Belmont conditions.

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.
