The new Board has people with significant expertise. Mr Chernov has property at Taggert.

Jo Cavill is a former Ambulance Victoria board member.

● Yolanta Green ■ Sad to hear of the news last week that former Yea resident, Yolanta Green, passed away in Melbourne at the age of 68.

This followed a long battle with cancer.

Yolanta and husband Evan Green lived in the Ti Tree Creek Rd area from the late 1980s.

The pair were big in Melbourne radio, hosting 3AW'sEscape program on Saturdays.

Evan was also known for his Bathurst TV hosting, and as author of a number of books (all originally hand-written).

Yolanta (Novak) came to Victoria from hosting radio programs at 2GO Gosford.

The couple's daughter, Ellia Green, is anAustralian/Fijian rugby league champion.

Other services include a dietitian, early childhood programs, exercise programs and a hearing clinic.

From Our Files - 30 Years Ago August 1988

Gunfire at F’dale ■ A Northcote man started shooting at wild ducks on a Flowerdale farm dam, Magistrate Lionel Winton-Smith was told. The man said there were no signs saying that there shooting could not take place. The Magistrate said he was prepared to find that the gunfire had taken place out of “erroneous” belief. He imposed a $75 fine.

Dom, Apex chief ■ Dominic McCarthy was installed as President of the Apex Club of Yea at a changeover dinner held at the Molesworth Hotel in 1988. Guests included retiring Shire President Cr David Lawson, Les and Wendy Hall from Rotary, Rod and Joan Canning from lions, and Howard Purcell (life member).

Late night drive

Goodbye Johnnie ● Kerryn Rishworth ■ The former Commonwealth/State Savings Bank building in Yea is on the market.

Kerryn Rishworth from the Yea office of Landmark Harcourts is handling the sale.

Details of the building are listed in Landmark’s back-page ad.

Website rescue ■ Hackers attacked the website of The Local Paper’s sister publication, the Melbourne Observer, last week.

Tony White, of Your Computer Services, Yea, worked well after midnight to help us restore services for readers and advertisers.

Thanks Tony, topclass local service.

Down on the farm at Murrindindi

■ Yea locals mourned the passing, Gilbert Roy (John) Lawrance. He was the eldest son of Gilbert Scott Lawrance and Ann McKenzie Johnson Lawrance, a wellknown Western District pioneering family from Coleraine. He was brother of Peter (killed in New Guinea in 1943), Robert (Ghin Ghin) and David (Killingworth).

6-5 vote ■ Cr Don Lawson became Chairman of Yea Council’s Administrative and Finance Committe by a close 6-5 vote. We reported that our ‘insider’ at the closed-door meeting said that Cr Bruce Kindred almost had the numbers.

It was a busy time for Cr Lawson. He was listed as authorising printed political material for the Liberal Central Highlands candidate Geoff Craige

10th straight win ■ Yea Reserves enjoyed their 10th straight win , thus qualifying for the Second SemiFinal against Girgarre at Tallygaroopna.

The third tier of the Yea FC - the Under 17s - played in an Elimination Final at Murchison. Yea was defeated 21.17 to 2.0.

“Some officials including Mark Quinlan (coach), Geoff and Daphne Osborn (timekeeper), John Peacock, John Quinlan and others deserve a word for bringing the team at least into the five,” wrote Tom Dignam.

Old Paradians trial ■ Four members of the old Pardains Athletic Club competed in the weekend trials for the Victorian Team for the Pacific Schools Games to be held in Sydney, reported Michael McLaughlin.

Dindi pokies policy ■ There is only one venue for electronic gaming machines in Murrindindi Shire.

The Rubicon Hotel at Thornton has permits for 25 machines, and customers feed $1.5 million through the slots each year.

Murrindindi Council will vote at tonight’s meeting (Wed., Aug. 22) on a Planning Scheme Amendment which would formalise guidelines around the installation and use of electronic gaming machines in the Shire.

General Manager Infrastructure and Development for Murrindindi Shire Council, Stuart McConnell, said the proposed amendment seeks to ensure social, economic and cultural harm from gaming is minimised.

"By putting formal guidelines into the Planning Scheme, Council is creating a process for our land use planners to manage development applications relating to gaming," Mr McConnell said.

"The proposed Amendment would permit new gaming machines to be located on sites that are considered 'separated' from shopping centres and community facilities where a high number of people regularly carry out their daily activities.

"The Amendment aims to minimise harm by

discouraging the installation of gaming machines in areas where other types of entertainment and recreation facilities are limited.

“This is particularly important in municipalities like Murrindindi Shire, where much of our population is spread out across a large area.

"Council is committed to supporting recreation and entertainment opportunities that encourage community participation and connection.

“This focus comes from the feedback we received from the community during the 'Have Your Say' campaign,” Mr McConnell added.

War on wasps ■ Queen European Wasps will soon start making an appearance to search for food and nests before they begin their breeding cycle.

It is important if a queen wasp is seen that it is destroyed, as this is the source from which so many other wasps are produced, and targeting the Queen certainly reduces overall numbers.

Murrindindi Shire Council is asking for expressions of interest from community to determine if there are any community members out there who may be interested in being trained on how to destroy wasp nests and so may assist in the community in destroying these nests when and if they come across them.

From Our 1918 Files

Farmers union

■ Mr. Hart, chief organlser of the (Victorian Farmers Union), visited Alexandra on Monday last;. but owing to lack of attendance on part of those who had b'een circularised the meetiiig had to be abandoned.

To ask farmers to attend a lecture in Alexandra at 3 p.m. and at such short notice was ridiculous

Poultry Show

■ The second annual show was held in the (Eltham) Rechabite Hall on Saturday after nlodn last, and for weather, attendance, quality of birds and entries was an improvement on last year. Mr Rentoul (Government expert) and Mr Bradley were the judges, and spoke very encouragingly of the efforts of the Eltham bird fanciers. There were some of the birds class enough to be shown anywhere with ta little knowledge in getting them fit.

Alex. elections

■ Yesterday the annual election of three councillors was held. The result was as follows: LADE ..................................................... 842 FINDLAY ................................................ 768 ROWAN ................................................. 502 SAUNDERS ........................................... 486 The first three were elected.

Tallarook Soldiers

■ We have been requested to ac knowledge on behalf of the Tallarook Soldiers' Reception Committee, the following donations :— A mount previously acknowledged, £52 10s 6d ; Mr G. Parker, Sugarloaf Creek, £1 ; Mrs Price £1 1s ; Mr H. Winnell £1 1s ; McKenzie Bros., Worrough, £10 10s. Total £62 2s 6d J. H. Jones, Hon. Sec.

Yea Police Court

■ At the Yea Police Court last week several parents were fined £2 for not having vaccine injected into their children. This seems an unjustly heavy impost upon "conscientious objectors." City offenders of this kind often get off with a ten shilling fine.

In Seymour £1 is demanded for the privilege of exempting our children from innoculation. The compulsory vaccination law as it stands at present is a blot on the Statute books of the State, but the variety of penalties administered put it outside the realms of justice.

Seymour Shooting

■ A number of sparrow sweeps and a clay bird sweep were shot-off at the local Gun Club's ground on Saturday.

Some tip-top shooting was witnessed, and C. McKenzie's performance qualifies him to represent the club in the Goulburn Valley championship.

Annual meeting

■ Yea and Mansfield Dairy Company. The 27th annual meeting of the above company was held in the Shire hall on Saturday afternoon last, when the directors' report and balance sheet was read, confirmed and adopted.

Cr, J. Quinlan, J.P., chairman of directors, occupied the chair.

Red flag flies

■ The members of the local branch of the Labor League take exception to the action of the Shire Council in commenting adversely on the fly ing of the Red Flag.

Domestic hints

■ Try baking tripe in the oven. Stuff it with a sage-and-onion stuffing, roll in greased paper, bake in the oven till cooked, and serve with a green vegetable and apple sauce. It It de licious.

Sports Roundup 1988 premiership reunion at Alex.

Local Briefs Bond moves on ■ After five years as Murrindindi Shire Council’s Manager of Business Services, Andrew Bond has decided to relocate with his young family to Melbourne.

“Andrew will shortly be taking up his new role with the Victorian Ombudsman’s Office as the Head of Finance and Procurement,” Shire CEO Craig Lloyd told The Local Paper.

W’sea Lodge night

● John Tossol. Photos: Lisa Wallace ■ The Alexandra Football/Netball Club hosted a successful and enjoyable reunion of the 1988 Tungamah Football League senior football premiership won at Benalla.

The function was organised by Lisa and John Wallace, Mandy and John Westwood and other helpers and attracted teammates and committeemen from West Australia, South Australia, Queensland and other faraway places for a get together.

The Club social rooms were packed after the game and at a dinner where 1988 President Wayne Miller and Coach John Tossol outlined the recruiting and plans culminating in one of Alexandra Football-Netball Club's finest days.

The 1988 season did not start as planned, being on the bottom, winless after the first four rounds, Alex then proceeded to lose only one further game that year, the Second Semi Final to Shepparton East.

After a melee before the first bounce, Alex found themselves outplayed in the first half and were 34 points down at half-time but in a great third quarter Alex came back to trail by only three points at three quarter time, continuing their efforts in the last quarter to go on and win the Premiership by six goals.

Current President Ray then read out a list of John Tossol's achievements whilst a player and coach including two senior Tungamah League Best and Fairest Lawless Medals, now mentoring and coaching under age football at the Club over the last 10 or so years before awarding John with Life Membership of the Alexandra Football/Netball Club.

After John's surprise and gracious reply, the evening continued with a CD of the game and old friendships rekindled.

Bold plan from mills ■ A group of six sawmillers have announced a bold plan to transition the timber industry.

The plan seeks to remove Victoria's reliance on native forests.

The millers propose to immediately abolish clear-fell logging of native forest coups larger than 20 hectares.

Their plan is to remove Victoria's reliance on native forests by transitioning to plantation supply by 2040.

Frustrated by State Government stalling and inaction, a group of six sawmillers, known as the 'G6', tthis week released an Eight Point Plan to assist the $7.3 billion industry's transition to a more secure and sustainable future.

The Plan, outlined in an Open Letter to the Premier of Victoria, also seeks to immediately abolish clear-fell logging of native forest coups larger than 20 hectares.

A spokesman for the group said the Government must seriously consider an industry-bridging plan or risk condemning regional sawmills to extinction.

"We are not going to stand by while the Government sleepwalks into the destruction of sustainable timber industry jobs, viable regional businesses and the hollowing-out of the communities that depend on it," the spokesman said.

"To do this we need a willing and committed government that fully supports a sound forest policy that 'bridges the gap' between where we are today and where we need to be.

"We are calling on the Andrews Government to implement this Plan for the sake of jobs, communities and families.

"This Plan comes from people who live in, work in and care about our forests.

"The G6's plan is to remove Victoria's reliance on native forests by transitioning to plantation supply by 2040, and immediately abolish clear-fell logging of native forest coups larger than 20 hectares.

"The uncertainty needs to stop. Without the Timber Release Plan , harvesting and haulage contractors won't be able to start work.

This will not only impact contractors and their families but the flow-on effect will mean our mills won't be adequately resourced and we won't be able to keep our businesses operating," the spokesman said.

The G6's plan calls on the Andrews Government to immediatefy: ■ Invest in the modernisation of mills to enable the better use of available resources and minimise waste ■ Invest in State-owned plantations ■ Revegetate unproductive land in public and private hands ■ Legislate Timber Supply Agreements to ensure immediate and long-term investment, certainty and sustainability in the sector ■ Provide assistance packages for worker reskilling and relocation ■ Provide exit packages for businesses handing back TSAs and contractors

■ The ‘Real Paul Hogan’ will entertain at a ladies’ night being held by the Whittlesea Masonic Lodge from 7.30pm on Wednesday, October 3.

A two-course buffet dinner will be provided by Ken’s Catering, Broadford.

The event will be held at the Whittlesea Masonic Centre, Beech St. Cost is $30 per person, with beer, wine and soft drionks supplied. All ladies receive a small gift.

Contact: Cheryl Manicolo, 9715 1420.

■ Adopt Forest Stewardship Council standards to improve the industry's social licence to operate, including putting a ban on the export of unprocessed saw-logs ■ Safeguard communities from bushfires by maintaining, not weakening, the capacity and capability of timber industry people, equipment and programs in high-risk areas "As a principle we need to be doing 'more with less' as timber supply continues to contract in this State.

"We need urgent action to make Victoria the 'Plantation State' of Australia," the spokesman said.

"This means getting 'fair dinkum' about plantation policies and establishing and expanding plantations as the primary source of timber supply. This means urgently getting on with 'on-theground' action by getting seedlings into the ground.

"It also means reducing the industry's dependence on native supplies. We need surety from the government that funds will be available to the industry so that we can invest in new equipment to accommodate for both native and plantation supplies.

"We are asking the Andrews Government to offer exit packages for businesses that choose to hand back their TSAs and provide assistance for contractors that may be impacted by business exits.

"And, we implore the government to move away from a future looking more and more like the 'Heyfield model', where jobs, resources and the milling of timber are concentrated in one area.

"The timber industry must be 'decentralised' to support and attract jobs across this great State," the spokesperson concluded," the spokesman said.

The Plan to transition Victoria's timber industry to a sustainable future comes after a petition of more than 2000 signatures was tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, August 7.

Signatories to the petition called on the Andrews Government to safeguard jobs in more than 20 regional communities. The Andrews Government is yet to respond.

The Victorian timber industry employs around 20,000 people in Victoria in both regional and metropolitan businesses.

Approximately 40,000-50,000 additional jobs are supported by the industry through flow-on economic activity, including almost 10,000 people who make timber furniture, cabinetry and who are employed in joinery manufacture.

Townships which have an economic interest in the long-term viability of Victoria's timber industry include: Benalla, Murrindindi, Yea, Yarra Glen, Healesville, Noojee, Neerim, Moe, Pakenham, Drouin, Narbethong, Mt Evelyn, Wesburn, Warburton, Bruthen, Lakes Entrance, Bairnsdale, Alexandra, Sarsfield and Shepparton.

- Contributed

■ St.Luke's Anglican Church's Op Shop in Yea is supporting drought relief by donating the money from all sales on Friday August 31, Saturday September 1 and Sunday September 2.

There will also be a donation box on the front counter in the shop.

All money will be sent to the Anglican Diocese of Armidale, NSW, for distribution to farmers and local communities affected by drought.

A report will be received in due course as to where the money was disbursed.

Councils lose $17m ■ Rob Mitchell, MHR for McEwen, says that a Federal Government freeze on Financial Assistance Grants locally has totalled more than $17 million.

“For councils like Mitchell Shire, Nillumbik Shire, Whittlesea, Hume and the Macedon Ranges Shire, the freeze had a devastating impact and saw a collective $17,046,221 lost to these councils,” Mr Mitchell said.

“During the freeze, our Councils across the growing North of Victoria were forced to impose savings, take on debt or ask ratepayers to contribute more,” Mr Mitchell said.

“Labor knows that Financial Assistance Grants funding is the bedrock of local councils financial capacity.

“Around $50 billion in Financial Assistance Grants has been provided by the Commonwealth to Local Government since the Whitlam Government introduced these in 1974–75.

“This program acknowledged the important contribution of local government to our civic life: a contribution that is not equally matched by your ability to raise revenue.

Shadow Minister for Local Government, Stephen Jones, said that having cut nearly a billion dollars in funding to local councils, it is astounding that the Coalition is now congratulating itself for funding to councils through the Financial Assistance Grants scheme.

Grants in W’sea ■ The City of Whittlesea Community Development Grants Program provides grants of up to $5000 to local groups and organisations for activities that will benefit local residents.

Applications close on October 2. Successful applicants will be announced in December . Projects will commence in January.

The Local Paper is the largest-circulating local newspaper in Murrindindi with a printrun of 3675 copies. Other publications have sales of 1534 and 547 copies.

■ Mother Eden Nicholls, the St Luke’s Yea Parish Priest, re-dedicated two restored stained glass windows on Sunday, August 5.

The windows are the first stage in the 150th anniversary restoration appeal for the church.

Two windows in the church were classed as in critical need, and these have been restored and replaced back in the church by Honeysuckle Stained Glass, Bendigo.

St Luke's stained glass windows are of important local heritage significance, as the E.G. (George) Taylor Memorial Window was made

by Ferguson & Urie, and is believed to be the earliest piece of stained glass in Yea. The other recently restored window is the James Alfred and Amy Selina Wild Memorial Window, which was made by Brooks, Robinson & Co. Continued on Page 67

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.

MARKETING FEATURE

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood

WeHo evening with Mick Fleetwood

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

Out and About

Mick’s photo choices

Start of credit cards

■ Before launching into a 50-plus city North American tour with his legendary, Grammy Award winning band Fleetwood Mac, drummer and founding member of the group Mick Fleetwood hosted a special night of music photography and gourmet food and drink at the Morrison Hotel Gallery at the legendary Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood.

Mick personally curated a special collection of music photography, which is displayed poolside at the Sunset Marquis, just a few blocks away from the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites.

● Pictured at the event were The West Hollywood City Manager Paul Arevalo, Ramada Managing Director Alan Johnson and the West Hollywood Mayor John Heilman.

■ Initially, American Express was a freight shipper as a competitor to the U.S. Postal Service in New York during the 1850s.

It specialised in delivering money orders and traveler's checks (which they invented in 1891). Two of their founders, Wells and Fargo, later moved to California.

■ The inventor of the first bank-issued credit card was John Briggs, a banker from the Flatbush National Bank of New York.

Introduced in 1946, the card was called "Charge-It." The catch was that a user had to have an account at Briggs’ bank and purchases could be made only locally.

Technically, it was actually a charge card, because the bill had to be paid in full at the end of each month.

■ In the 1950s, Diners Club Card became the first company to offer a credit card that could be used in more than one store.

Although the credit card was accepted at just 14 restaurants in New York and was issued to just 200 people, within in a year of its introduction, more than 20,000 people were using it.

■ In the early to mid 1900s, oil companies and department stores began issuing their own propriety cards, but cards could only be used at that particular store.

While modern cards are used mainly for convenience, these early cards were meant to develop store loyalty and to improve customer service.

The drawback was that people needed to bring dozens of different cards for a day of shopping.

■ Some 13.5 percent of the US population 44 million is foreign born, the highest level ever, and many are not proficient in English, choosing to speak Spanish at home instead.

A report from the Migration Policy Institute found that 22 per cent of the US population does not speak English at home.

The share was highest in Nevada at 31 percent and Florida at 29 percent.

The report revealed a new trend in migration to the US where immigrants are dispersed throughout the nation instead of clustering in a few states and cities.

For example, while the number of immigrants in the last eight years increased 9 percent, the foreign born population surged 15 percent or more in 15 states.

The report said those states are: North Dakota, West Virginia, South Dakota, Delaware, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Indiana, Florida, Nevada, Washington, Iowa, and Maryland.

First Amendment ■ According to the Freedom Forum Institute's annual "State of the First Amendment" (SOFA) survey, it looks like a shocking number of Americans are unfamiliar with their First Amendment rights.

Of the more than 1000 people surveyed in May and June of this year, only one person was able to name all five First Amendment rights. A whopping 40 percent, however, couldn't name any.

Among those who could name one or a few, the right to freedom of speech was the most commonly remembered, with 56 per cent of respondents being able to list it.

The other rights didn't fare so well, however, with just 15 percent of respondents naming freedom of religion, 13 percent naming freedom of the press, 12 per cent naming freedom of peaceful assembly, and a measly 2 per cent naming the freedom to petition the government.

Labour problems

■ A record percentage of small firms have unfilled jobs, the July jobs report by the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) shows.

"The July jobs report shows the magnitude of small businesses that are growing and hiring at record levels, creating new jobs and opportunities for the workforce, and offering employees higher compensation," NFIB President and CEO Juanita D. Duggan said, announcing the results.

Business owners consider the current labor shortage their greatest problem, the report says.

"Let's be honest, anyone who can fog a mirror, and even some who can't, are already working," said an anonymous employment expert.

‘Horrible divorce’

■ Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were considered the perfect couple on television but the real-life marriage of the two stars behind I Love Lucy was far from a comedy.

Ball and Arnaz appeared in the beloved sitcom, which aired from 1951 until 1957, as well as The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour from 1957 until 1960, when the duo finally called it quits after 20 years of marriage.

Their daughter, Lucie Arnaz, recently told Closer Weekly she witnessed their arguments when cameras stopped. " They were fighting all the time," said the 67-year-old. "Their divorce was horrible. And then there was the alcoholism. I had preferred those things had never been there. We didn't have any abuse, but we did go through some pretty hard stuff and that's why my parents didn't stay together.

Lady Ga Ga in Vegas

■ Lady Gaga's Las Vegas residency will launch December 28 at Park Theater at the new Park MGM resort.

The pop star will perform 27 shows at the Park Theater over the course of 2019, with the run wrapping November 8.

The residency will comprise two different shows, the majority of which will be Lady Gaga Enigma, which is billed as "a brand-new odyssey of her pop hits built as an experience unlike any other."

Lady Gaga will also perform several Jazz and Piano shows, which will feature "stripped-down versions of her hits as well as music from the Great American Songbook.

■ In the US more women than men are tattooed (23 per cent vs. 19 per cent), according to a 2012 survey.

■ A 2006 survey revealed that 36 per cent of those ages 1825 and 40 per cent of those ages 26-40 have at least one tattoo.

■ The Latin word for "tattoo" is stigma.

The Whittlesea Story: Part 18

Early days of Whittlesea Shire Courtesy of the City of Whittlesea.

From ‘The Plenty’

by J.W. Payne, 1975.

■ With the commencement of the Small Holdings scheme at Bundoora, the focus of community life shifted from Janefield which ceased to function as a village.

The Janefield Toll had ceased in 1870, and the old Denominational School and the Plough Inn closed in 1876.

Only the Presbyterian Church and the Findon Kennels were still in use in the village.

The Bundoora Small Holdings settlement served by Settlement Lane was not really successful.

The same areas were mostly combined into farms of sufficient size to provide a living and the surplus houses and sheds were removed elsewhere.

The Norris Bank School No 3618, opened on May 25, 1909, with Wilhelmina Sleeman as mistress and attendance fluctuated as settlers came and went.

Changes came to Mill Park: Septimus Miller, who was VRC Chairman in his time, owned the Redleap stables, and his brother Albert built herself other stables for his string of horses ...

In time Albert bought out most of his brothers and sisters interests in Mill Park and started to build a home which was to be a replica of Glamis Castle.

But he never finished it and the grandiose scheme remained on paper for a small section.

In 1930, Hubert Miller, one of Henry Miller’s grandsons, and Master of the Findon Hunt Club was killed in a fall on the hunting field.

Only a short while before he had suggested that the Findon Hounds transfer from the kennels on the Plenty Road to the Redleap Stables.

In 1939 before this change could be effected, the property was sold to Senator McLaughlin.

The Senator’s wife, aware of her limited life expectancy, considered the castle commenced by Albert Miller too large, and a smaller brick home was erected using the bluestone of the castle for foundations.

On McLaughlin’s death, Mill Park passed to his nephews who, in recent years, have disposed of the property to Temperance and General Life Assurance Co. Ltd, who intended (1970s) to subdivide its spreading fields into housing sites.

Two memories only of Janefield remain. The Presbyterian Church is still referred to as ‘the Janefield Church’ and between the Plenty Road and River is a complex of buildings designed originally as a colony for epileptics and now serving as a home for mentally retarded children under the title of the ‘Janefield Colony’.

KeelbundooraThomastown ■ The area surveyed under the direction of Robert Hoddle and named as the Parish of Keelbundoora, was initially Campbell land.

James David Lyon (‘Lion’) Campbell gave his name to the western portion, Campbellfield.

On his death in 1844, Charles Campbell took up the area.

Richard Clinnick was the first postmaster and it cost 1s to send a letter to Melbourne.

Meanwhile the German settlers had erected a school. Gottlieb Renner opened the Mecklenburg School in November 1856 and Johann Stanger continued after him until its closure in January 1864.

Inspector Geary who visited the area in 1858 made observations on both schools.

Of Thomastown No 631, Geary noted ‘A large wooden building, iron roof, floored, 28ft x 26ft x 14ft to eaves ... 39 on roll, 29 present.

‘Edward Perry, a satisfactory teacher and his wife, Barbara, sewing mistress’.

Mecklenburg concerned him greatly: “The master (Gottlieb Renner) knows no language but German.

The German Bible is the reading book, German grammar, history and writing are also taught.

“I am of the opinion that in as much as the children in this school will eventuaslly be thrown among British people it is highly desirable that they should be taught the English language - and if schools of this description are permitted and subsidised by the State, we may expect to have French, Spanish, even Chinese schools, each claiming aid from the Government and perpetuating its own particular language.

“A teacher understanding both German and English should be at once provided.”

Edward Perry was still headmaster at Thomastown when the education Department, in 1874 bought the eastern half of the Wesleyan land.

The title to the purchase showed it faced Darebin Creek Road with Robert Goodman and Alred Hurlstone holding adjacent land.

Provision was made for right of way through the school ground to the cemetery at the rear (funerals continued until 1955), and the sale was subject to the right of the vendor to use the building now upon the propery every Sabbath day for the celebration of Divine Workshop therein, until the completion of the purchase.

Two arrivals entered Thomastown life at this period. The first was John P. Morgan J.P., an educated beachelor, almost a recluse.

He rented 2500 acres of land between Thomastown and Epping from the Darebin to the Merri Creek.

The milk from his 320 cows was carted directly to the several dairies which he owned in the northern suburbs.

His farm employing 40 men was noted as one of the largest dairy farms in the state.

In latter years he served on the Darebin Shire Council, including one term as President.

The second was Peter McCoy, for many years a councillor in the Shire of Darebin and President on five occasions.

He purchased the timber Belmont Hotel and adjacent farm from Michael Larmer in 1874.

The farm produced notable crops of oaten hay, and as a sideline he utilised an earlier version of the Belmont Hotel as a boiling-down works for horses, cattle and sheep. ● 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: LAST FLAG FLYING: Cast: Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne.

Genr e: Comedy/War/Drama.

Year: 2017.

Rating: MA15+ Length: 125 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Verdict: Three decades after they served together in the Vietnam war, a former Navy Corpsman re-unites with two of his old buddies to take his son home, a young Marine killed in the Iraq War, for burial, as opposed to Arlington cemetery.

Despite the serious subject matter, this road-trip is in fact a wonderfully light-hearted, funny and profoundly moving journey woven together by an intelligent screenplay by Richard Linklater and author Darryl Ponicsan, along with respectful, witty, gentle, touching and well balanced performances throughout by Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne.

A literary sequel to the searing multi-Oscar nominated "The Last Detail" based on the book by Darryl Ponicsan, and made into the now classic film starring Jack Nicholson, Otis Young and Randy Quaid in 1973, and directed by the late Hal Ashby, for this cinematic follow-up the names have been changed, however, this second journey intentionally "stands alone" on its own emotion charged merits.

Steve Carell, as the grieving father, gives another superbly nuanced performance, in-between the comic, sometimes outrageous, yet respectful and supportive performances of his two war buddies, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne.

Nicely paced and photographed by cinematographer Shane F. Kelly, "Last Flag Flying" is not as course, brash or biting a social satire as its "spiritual" 1973 forerunner "The Last Detail," but is a strong, sombre, fresh, poignant, entertaining and thought provoking commentary of all wars, and an equally grounded portrait of loss, disillusionment, alienation, and the power of friendship.

FILM: LIFE OF THE PARTY: Cast: Melissa McCarthy, Matt Walsh, Molly Gordon.

Genre: Comedy.

Year: 2018.

Rating: M. Length: 105 Minutes.

Stars: ** Verdict: After her husband abruptly asks for a divorce, a middleaged mother returns to college where her daughter is enrolled in order to complete her degree.

Written by Melissa McCarthy and husband Ben Falcone, and starring Melissa McCarthy and Directed by Ben Falcone, this well meaning comedy of Mother and Daughter with loads of 'Girl-Power' is simply put, a bland and uninspiring rehash of the 1986 laugh-outloud comedy classic "Back To School" starring Rodney Dangerfield.

Devoid of any emotional grip, character or genuine laughs, this is far removed from previous Melissa McCarthy outings as "Spy," "Bridesmaids," "Heat," "St. Vincent" (opposite Bill Murray) and even the uneven "Ghostbusters," "Life of the Party" flounders on the overdependence of its star power, a weak screenplay and unevenly half-hearted formulaic execution.

Nonetheless, there's no doubt that McCarthy does have an undeniable lovable and mischievous charm and infectious screen presence, and this is the films only saving grace, so in future, maybe she should leave the writing and directing to the professionals, and leave the hubby at home.

FILM: AVENGERS - INFINITY WAR: Cast: Karen Gillan, Tom Holland, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Josh Brolin, Robert Downey Jr, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pratt, Chadwick Boseman, Vin Diesel, Mark Ruffalo, Benicio Del Toro, Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow.

Genr e: Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi. Year: 2018.

Rating: M. Length: 156 Minutes.

Stars: ***½ Verdict: For the Avengers a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos, a tyrant of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artefacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality, and everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment, as the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.

The first of two parts, and a decade in coming, Marvel super-heroes from Iron Man, Thor, Black Panther, Captain America, The Hulk to Dr. Strange, Black Panther and the Guardians of the Galaxy, and more, fill the screen in this one science fiction blockbuster of unrelenting and seemingly never-ending thrills, spills, action and adventure across the universe, but here, at nearly two-and-a-half-hours in length, too much is not necessarily a good thing, as the constant bombardment of punch-ups, pyrotechnics and destruction become mind-numbingly repetitious.

Rated M ... and not the best in the Marvel series, nonetheless, this is brimming with laugh-out-loud humour, and the extraordinary allstar-cast and eye-popping special effects are all at the top of their game.

Everyone is having fun, most notably Robert Downey, Jr. Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Cumberbatch, and the end result is a big, noisy, colourful, loud, exciting and for most part, though not all-together satisfying, a rewarding super-hero experience for Marvel fans and the pop culture generation that carries an inner innocence like the Saturday matinee serials of the past.

Rourke’s Reviews Mirai ■ (PG). 98 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas August 23.

Animation director Mamoru Hosoda, who has built up an outstanding body of work since his breakthrough film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time in 2006 (after working on the excellent anime series Samurai Champloo), delivers the goods again, blending delicate family drama with the fantastic and magical. Kun (voiced by 18 year-old Moka Kamishiraishi), is an only child who has enjoyed the devoted attention of his parents (Gen Hoshino and Kumiko Aso) for all of his four years.

This all changes when newborn sister Mirai arrives on the scene.

With mum and dad having to concentrate a lot of their time on the baby, with the former going back to work being an added shock to his daily routine, Kun begins to act up, showing growing disrespect towards both his parents and Mirai.

Just when Kun thinks things can't get any more chaotic, he is suddenly visited by the future teenage version of his baby sister (Haru Kuroki), who sets the young boy on a journey to discover just how important family is, and how lost he would be without their love and support.

Hosoda regularly explores the themes of family, responsibility and identity, and he does so again with his usual skill, ensuring his characters remain real even when elements around them cross over into the surreal (the film is reminiscent of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time).

With so many Hollywood efforts relying heavily on frenetic energy and generic one-liners, it's great to see an animated film that trusts its audience, daring to put character development and interplay frontand-centre.

Like the best Japan has to offer, the hand-drawn animation is superb, as is the sound design, and Hosoda triumphs once more as he shows genuine care and affection for the people that fill his gorgeous landscapes.

RATING - ****

Book Club ■ (M). 103 minutes. Opens in cinemas August 23.

With a cast to die for, this amiable comedy never once reaches its full potential, with the film-makers unable to give the seasoned performers material good enough for them to really sink their teeth into.

The story centres on lifelong friends Diane (Diane Keaton), Vivian (Jane Fonda, barely recognisable due to extensive plastic surgery), Sharon (Candice Bergen) and Carol (Mary Steenburgen), who still get together each month for the title meeting.

All have various viewpoints about where romance fits in at this stage of their lives, so Vivian decides to provide suitable 'stimulation' by nominating the trashy Fifty Shades Of Grey (in what is a shameless plug) as the group's next reading project.

The book certainly has the de-

complications. Co-writer/director Bill Holderman (who penned the equally artificial A Walk In The Woods), deals in cliches and stereotypes, never making any of these characters feel like real people, and his directorial debut has quite a TV sitcom look and feel.

While the script is beneath them, almost everyone in the cast rises above it, doing so much more for the film than what it does for them.

The main four play off each other effortlessly, and it is a perfect reminder of how terrific Bergen's comic delivery is.

Others in the incredible cast include Andy Garcia (who is wonderfully, charmingly relaxed), Don Johnson, Craig T. Nelson, Richard Dreyfuss, Wallace Shawn, and Ed Begley Jr. Only Alicia Silverstone and Katie Aselton, as Diane's irritating daughters, are defeated by their one-note roles.

There are also some nice references to the main actors' previous movie incarnations, particularly Fonda and Steenburgen.

If only Holderman put more effort in to the script and direction, this could have been something to truly embrace and savour. Any enjoyment you get from Book Club is solely due to the skills of its sublime cast.

RATING - ***

Blues Brothers ■ (M) (1980). 133 / 148 minutes.

Available now on Blu-ray and DVD. With the passing of music legend Aretha Franklin on Thursday, August 16, aged 76, I hope everyone has been watching this enduring classic out of respect, a film which continues to bring joy to the world 38 years after its original release.

There mustn't be too many people left out there who don't know the story, but in case you are one of the very few who have yet to experience this exuberant, large-scale musical comedy, it centres around two brothers, Jake and Elwood Blues (John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd), who try to get their famous band back together when the orphanage they grew up in is about to be closed down.

The two figure that the band will play a gig, raise some quick money, which will then be used to keep the place going.

The plan doesn't go smoothly, with the pair getting involved in numerous incidents that spiral out of control, and are eventually chased by rival bands, ex-girlfriends, and what seems like the entire Chicago Police Force.

A strong supporting cast is headed by Carrie Fisher and John Candy, and there is an amusing cameo by director Steven Spielberg.

The notable music guests include Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, Buddy Joe Hooker, James Brown, and of course the members that make up the Blue Brothers Band.

It's a memorable sequence, one of many in a film that will be remembered for years to come, just like the legendary entertainer herself.

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 will never forget a wet May morning in 1992 when I went to see world famous female impersonator Danny La Rue in a concert at the Melbourne Town Hall.

I arrived late and caught the last 20 minutes of the show which also featured Lennie Holmes, who became a dear friend of mine in later years.

I had my tape recorder with me in the hope of getting an interview with Danny.

I had spoken to the promoter earlier and was told "Come backstage and let's see what happens."

I was lucky to sit down with Danny in his dressing room between shows and record a radio interview.

I noticed that he had a small statue of the Virgin Mary on his make up table.

He told me that he carried the statue with him all over the world and said a little prayer before every show.

It was the day that Marlene Dietrich passed away and Danny wanted to pay tribute to his friend on radio.

Danny La Rue was born Daniel Patrick Carroll in County Cork, Ireland, in 1927.

He served in the Royal Navy and then became a very popular "comic female impersonator" in stage productions, film and television.

He made his West End debut in a revue at the tiny Irving Theatre.

Danny became a phenomenal success and worked in pantomimes playing "The Dame" with

Danny La Rue

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM

characters such as Queen Passionella, Queen Daniella and the "Very Merry" Widow Twankey. His shows packed out many venues, which included the London Palladium.

His comedy film Our Miss Fred made in 1972 was recently shown on Australian television.

Danny La Rue appeared onstage in more than 30 Royal Performances and three Royal Command Performances.

He opened his own nightclub in Hanover Square in 1964, attracting celebrities such as Judy Garland, Shirley MacLaine, Shirley Bassey, Noel Coward, Zsa Zsa Gabor and his dear friend Marlene Dietrich.

Danny created history in 1982 by becoming

the first man to play ‘Dolly Levi’ in a very successful production of the stage musical Hello Dolly.

He worked mainly in the UK but has also toured Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Middle East, New Zealand and Australia.

He was a friend of my cousin Diana Trask.

Danny La Rue was created a member of the Order of the British Empire in 2002 for his work with AIDS charities.

One of his favourite sayings was, "I've made millions and lost millions but I'm still here."

Danny did not enjoy the best of health in his later years.

One of his last onstage appearances was in a theatrical biography show on his life where he sang and was interviewed by Jerry Lane at Benidorm Palace in Spain.

Sadly, Danny La Rue passed away in 2009 at the age of 81.

It was an honour to talk to Danny La Rue face to face on that rainy day in 1992. My favourite Danny La Rue song is On Mother Kelly's Doorstep.

■ The changing of the guard within Myer management has seen a staggering dollar difference in how much Myer were prepared to fork out for a model to be their brand ambassador .

For years Jennifer Hawkins has featured in Myer ads, fashion parades and the like -all for $1.3 million a year.

Along came new blood at the cash strapped Myer who saw better value in a younger model Elyse Knowles who we understand is being paid $150,000.

To complicate matters both models are handled by same talent agent and Elyse Knowles is reportedly taking action against the agent claiming he is not entitled to any commission because Elyse negotiated the Myer deal all on her own .

It's a bigger place than we realise

Country Crossroads

By Rob Foenander info@countrycrossroads com.au

Destiny, number 1

■ Yinnar band Destiny has reached the top of the Australian Country Tracks chart with their song Put On AGood Show.

The hard working group have also been nominated for Australian Independent Group/Duo of the Year in the upcoming annual Mildura Country Music Awards.

Other Victorians nominated include Kinglake husband and wife team Carter & Carter and Melbourne duo The Long & Short Of It.y Appeal.

Across Time

■ Australia's most prestigious 70's soul/ R&B group, Stylus are back in style with new recordings and a show at the Memo St Kilda.

The concert Across Time will feature three original Stylus members - vocalist/ songwriter Peter Cupples, pianist/ keyboardist Sam McNally and guitar wizard Ronnie Peers performing with Melbourne's Gerry Pantazis on drums and Chicago- born Doug Williams (an Aussie for many years now) playing bass and lead vocals.

Memo Music Hall ,Sat ,. Sept. 8. Tickets at Memo.

Jamboree ■ The annual Guildford Banjo Jamboree is scheduled for September 21-23. The festival is a gathering of musicians and music lovers in the small country town of Guildford, in Central Victoria. Each year funds raised are donated back to local organisations that assist the jamboree, including theCFA. banjojamboree.org

■ You'd have to seriously have your head buried in the Great Sandy Desert not to realise that Western Australia is a big place.

Yet I do think that we underestimate its size.

Hence, for instance, we have a look at a map of the state's southwest corner and assume that the Margaret River and Great Southern regions are cheek by jowl.

Yet the towns of Margaret River and Great Southern's Mount Barker are more than a couple of hundred kilometres apart, close to 300 clicks if you're talking about driving distance.

Increase that by at least 100 kilometres if you're talking Margaret River and Albany.

We're not dealing with a hopstep-and-jump.

I suppose that the situation is exacerbated by the fact that seminal researcher John Gladstones tended to talk about both the two areas when he wrote many years ago about where the future of Western Australian winemaking lay.

But the two regions are different, with much of Great Southern in the path of bitterly cold winds from the Antarctic, while Margaret River's climate is ameliorated by the relatively warm waters of the southern Indian Ocean.

Windows Decidicated - Continued From Page 21 In some ways, the stained glass windows in St.Luke's represent the history of the development of stained glass in regional Victoria, with three of Melbourne's early and main stained glass companies having made several of our windows (Ferguson & Urie, Mathieson & Gibson, and Brooks, Robinson & Co).

Under the guidance of experienced heritage consultants and church restoration architects Lovell Chen, and of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), a staged restoration plan has been approved. With the first stage now completed, we are working on stage two which is the replacement of the roof, fascias and guttering etc.

Raffle caused Yea Minister to quit ■ A raffle caused Yea Presbyterian Church minister, Rev. F.E. Yeaman, to resign his position, the Yea newspaper reported in January 1907: We have received the December number of the Messenger, the organ of the Presbyterian Church, containing a report of the business of the last meeting of the Goulburn Valley Pres bytery.

The report states : The Presbytery of Goulburn Valley met at Seymour on Thursdy, 6th inst. Several hours were spent in interpreting the laws of the church relating to the functions and work of sessions, and applying them to the case of Seymour.

Matters were, however, finally settled in a manner satisiactory to all parties, and the Presbytery were thanked hy one of the elders, on behalf of himself and fellow elders The resignation of his charge atYea by the Rev F. E. Yeaman,was then taken up, and the Presbytery received the report of the Rev. G. Jones, appointed to investigate the circumstances surrounding the resignation by Rev. F. E.Yearnan of the Yea charge.

The resignation, which lay on the table since 14th ult.. had been tendered be cause of raffling at the church bazaar, carried out against the law. of the church, the wishes of the minister and the resolution of the Board of Management.

M r Jones reported that he met with the Yea people on November 29, that Messrs Dunlop and Black were appointed to appear for the congregation at the Presbytery, and submit a resolution, to the effect that the congregation "regretted exceedingly the mode of raising money, and promised never to resort to such practice in the future, but thought the resignation precipitate."

Mr Dunlop and Mr Black, in supporting, presented a petition signed by 137 members, declaring "loyalty to the wishes of the minister and Presbytery in reference to church entertainments," and praying the Presbytery to use every means to secure the withdrawal of Mr Yeaman's resignation.

They pointed out that the raffle was held by a small minority, and that the session and managers had decreed against it.

On the motion of the Revs.

Erskine and Darroch, the Presbytery resolved that " they highly commend Mr Yeaman for the stand taken by him, expressed their satisfaction at the changed attitude of the congregation, and in view of the same, urge MrYeaman to withdraw his resignation."

Mr Yeaman thanked the Presbytery for their kind advice, but held to his resignation, on the grounds that the feeling raised by the matter would continue to the detriment of his further work, and he could not conscientiously use the money raised by the raffle, and no provision had been made for assigning it to other than church purposes, and finally, that, were he now to withdraw, the general public would misunderstand the situation, anid view his action as "a weakcompromise, His resignlation was accepted with the greatest regret, all present" testifying to the good" work done in his brief ministry; and thepastoral tie having been dissolved as from the 16th, theRev. G. Jones, of Broadford, was made Interim-Moderator of the

“Would it not it have been better to have faked up these fantastical arguments before I left the district ?

“Better still for the small minority who flaunted the wishes of the Church, people, and minister, and represented by the trio of correspondents to show the wisdom and grace of gentle people by acknowledging their wrong and taking a back seat for the future in Church affairs,” said the churchman. ★ H. Bannerman, described in the January 24 issue of the Yea newspaper as ‘late Church Secretary’ wrote again: “Sir-It must be great fun for the outside public to read the Kilkenny cat-like fight hat is going on among the Presbyterians of Yea over the disposal of a few gifts among them; and the late minister, unlike a wise man, is coming forward with his sarcastic letters blaming the two principals of the Board of Management for rafling. “ I would rather not enter the list of writers against any clergyman, but his insinuation is evidently pointed at myself as one of the two, andon that account l ask you give me space to say-if I am the object of his sneer about gentle or Plebeian blood-that I did nothing but what I would do again.

“Look at the consolidated revenue of Victoria or any other country, and imagine the million of unclean money that goes into it to come out again to help in countless other ways.

“Look at the Apostle Peter when he was hungry and praying on the house-top. A dainty dish was sent down to him from heaven, with the invitation, " Arise, Peter, help yourself to the best that is there."

“Peter was horrified, after no doubt rubbing his eyes, to see the uncanny mixture and he said, "Not if I know it. Smells too much of a Presbyterian Fair for my gentile family and appetite."

What did the voice from heaven say. What I call clean, dare you call it unclean. The canting hypocrisy on the part of a few is just straining at a knat and swallowing the whole camel unslubbered.

“1 can in your next issue, Mr Editor, if need be, produce the signatures of more than three-quarters of the Board of Management to say that they approved of any raffling that was done.

“I have in my pocket the Attorney General's permission, which is a direct snub to Mr Yeaman and his Reboboam advisers.

“I have received a letter from the Clerk of Presbytery, stating hat that honourable court said : Neither do we condemn you - sin no more. Do with the proceeds of the fair what you think is best.

“What more remains to be said but drop stupid and vain correspondence. To the people I would say: Stick to your Church-to Mr Yeaman I would say: Do more in your new charge for your money han you did at Yea, and never run away without giving your friends a chance of saying good luck. This letter is a miixture but you, Sir, can lick it into shape.”

Presentation to soldiers at Limestone ■ “The Limestone Hall was crowded to overflowing on Wednesday night of last week, there being nearly as many outside the building as inside,” reported the Yea local newspaper on March 18, 1920.

The road was lined with vehicles of every description, including 14 motors, some of the latter having made a double trip, so great was the demand for conveyanoes in Yea, and the large yard adjoining Mr Jas. McKenzie’s residence was also packed with vehicles, all parts of the surrounding district being represented in the vast assemblage, which had gathered together to do honor to the Limestone lads who had taken part in the war.

Amongst those present were the president of the shire (Lieut. R. S. McAlpin), Councillors Major Purcell, Quinlan, McLure, Bacon, Lawrance and Williamson, and the Rev. Father Willis and the Rev. G. Martin.

Apologies were received for Councillors McLeish and Drysdale, the former being absent from the district, and the latter having met with an accident.

An apology was also made for the absence of the Rev. G. Brammell.

The inside of the building was lavishly decorated, the ceilings and walls being one mass of gum leaves, with streamers and large designs of bright colors, each representing the colors of the battalion to which the lads belonged.

Additional effect was given by two large flags artistically draped at the back of the platform, on which sat eight of the returned Limestone lads, with their comrade, Lieut.

McAlpin, president of the shire, who acted as chairman.

The occasion was the presentation of gold medals from the residents of Limestone to the Limestone lads, of whom they are justly proud, as although the populition of Limestone is small its quota numbered eleven, and on every opportune occasion they have shown their gratification in a practical way and have borne the burden on their own shoulders.

Public welcomes on lines similar to that of Wednesday night have been accorded each lad on his return, an Honor avenue has been planted, one tree being dedicated to each soldier, an Honor Board has been erected in the Cheviot State School (which was unveiled yesterday), and gold medals have been presented to the lads or their relatives, which constitutes a record of which Limestone may well be proud.

It is also convincing proof that the LimestoneWelcome Home Committee is composed of live, hard working men and women.

As Wednesday's night's -proceeding was looked upon as the final and crowning effort of their labours, prior to the unveiling of the Honor Board to perpetuate the memory of the lads who had responded to the call from the Mother land, the committee, assisted by the ladies, did their utmost to make the evening a memorable one in the lives of the lads whom they desired to honor, and neither money nor labour was spared to attain the desired result.

Local History

Heritage buildings in Alexandra ■ The township of Alexandra began as a mining camp. Gold was discovered in 1866 and 1867 and the settlement sprang up nearby.

The Murrindindi Shire Heritage Study notes: The settlement was first known as the Red Gate Diggings, named after a gate in a fence south of the Ultima Thule Creek - one of the boundaries of the Mount Pleasant A and B pastoral runs.

Part of Grant Street runs close to the site that followed the original miners' track through the gate in the fence between the Mount Pleasant and Eglinton Runs and on to the diggings further afield.

It was also called McKenzie's Diggings, after Donald McKenzie, the squatter of Mount Pleasant 'A' pastoral run.

In 1867 the District Surveyor, John Downey, intended to call the town Eglinton, after the nearby pastoral run, but instead it was named in honour of 'The Rose of Denmark', Princess Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julie (1844-1925), wife of Albert, Prince of Wales.

The Shire of Alexandra was formed in 1869 and existed until Council amalgamations of 1994 combined it with the Shire of Yea and parts of the Shires of Eltham to form Murrindindi Shire.

Dove Cottage is believed to occupy the site of one of the many miners' cottages and shacks which sprang up along the Ultima Thule Creek during the mining boom.

While the exact date of construction is not known, it is estimated the cottage was built c.1890.

The oldest visible section of the cottage is a wall of split palings at the rear.

The chimney bricks were handmade at the local kilns and the maker's fingerprints are still clearly visible.

The earliest documented occupier of Dove Cottage was Mrs Gertrude Morris who lived in the cottage from 1926-39.

Mrs Morris ran a laundry service for the local hospital, hotels and some of the surrounding farmers.

The original laundry building remains at the rear of the cottage, although the copper and troughs have disappeared.

The cottage was also rented for a time by Mr Joe and Mrs Jean Norris.

The last tenant in the property, Mrs Sarah Dove, had moved to Alexandra from Upper Rubicon after her home was burnt in the devastating 1939 Black Friday bushfires.

Sarah was the widow of Charles Robert Dove; they had married in 1925.

Charles died in 1938. She remained in the cottage from 1940-83.

It is not clear if the cottage was known as Dove Cottage while Sarah Dove was resident or once she left the cottage.

After her departure the cottage remained empty and was neglected.

In 1987 a public meeting in appointed a Dove Cottage Advisory Committee; later, the DCE Historic Buildings Branch decided the cottage should be retained as an important feature of Leckie Park, and as an historic reminder of the goldmining era.

In November 1990 a 'Friends of Dove Cottage' group raised money and carried out renovations.

The building is currently used as a Scout and Girl Guides Hall and in the 1980s it was used as the local Blue Light disco.

was dangerous in attack, finishing with four goals.

Ash Walsh did a great job locking down on Brookers prime mover Damien Volta after the midfielder won plenty of the football in the first term, while Harrison Jarvie and Riley Aldous battled hard.

It was a disappointing finish to the year for the Tigers, who lost their final six games after a promising start to the season.

well and they didn't disappoint, scoring 27 goals to 1 in the first quarter and going on with a solid hit out after that to win 81-17. The coach was able to make changes through all areas of the court, mixing up combinations and rotating the bench.

Home and Away Wrap Up - B-Grade finished second, two games shy of leaders Seville (undefeated) and six games clear of the third placed side.

This indicates that Seville and Yea have been by far the best two teams of the season, Yea losing just two games, both to Seville.

With the final placings of the final five still to be decided next week, Yea will have to wait to see who awaits them on Qualifying Final day on September 2.

The Tigers have been a formidable line up all season and took it up to Seville in both their losses. The finals showdowns should be rippers.

C-GRADE C-Grade finished off the season with a solid win over fifth placed Gembrook. The Tigers had a good start to the game and that held them in good stead for the remainder of the match, Gembrook putting up a tough contest especially in the second half.

The Tigers were outscored in a slightly disappointing last quarter but still came out victors by 14 goals.

Home and Away Wrap Up - C-Grade were the slowest of all the Yea teams to find their mojo, dropping two of their first four games, to sit in fourth position after Round 4.

In Round 5 they knocked off the previously undefeated Kinglake by a considerable margin and the team haven't looked back since, winning every game for the remainder of the season, handing Alexandra their only defeat of the year in round 10 and then demolishing arch rival Seville a few weeks later.

These results saw the C-Grade team take top spot a few weeks back and they should hold on to that after the bye next week (Alexandra need to defeat Kinglake by 30+ goals to replace them).

Top placing will earn them the first week of finals off and they will then face Seville or Alexandra semi final weekend.

D-GRADE Second placed Yea took on the ladder leaders Gembrook, Yea unable to steal first position even if they were to win.

The Tigers were gallant all game, within two goals at half-time and falling short by three by the end of the game.

The team took a lot of confidence from this result and with neutral umpires come finals time, the result could easily be reversed.

Home and Away Wrap Up - The D-Grade side have been impressive all season, winning nine games and falling short in five games that could have gone either way.

They have been well led with a great mix of experienced players and an abundance of young and enthusiastic girls, three straight up from juniors.

Due to their narrow loss they have fallen to third spot and depending on results next week will either finish second or third, either way they have secured a double chance in the finals and will face off with Yarra Glen in the Qualifying Final on September 2.

RESERVES

Yea 2.2 (14) defeated by Gembrook Cockatoo 8.6 (54) Despite suffering a 40-point defeat at the hands of Gembrook -Cockatoo in their final home and away game of the season, Yea will play finals in 2018.

The Tigers started slowly, and the visitors took advantage of their opportunities, jumping out to a 17-point lead after a comprehensive three-goal-to-one opening quarter.

However, the rain kicked in and scoring become more difficult as the match wore on, with each side adding just one goal apiece in the second term and zero in the third.

The Brookers led by 22 points at the final change and looked in no danger of relenting, making a sure thing of the result with four goals to one to close out the contest.

Eddie Neilson led the way for the Tigers in a tough day at the office, Darcy Pell competed well in the ruck and Julian Mahon was excellent in conditions made for him.

Jaryed Garlick found plenty of the football and Ian Porter's physical pressure was a feature, while Dean Clue worked hard in an undersiege defence.

Yea will receive four points for the bye this week and if top-of-the-table Yarra Junction beat third-placed Yarra Glen, the Tigers will move into third spot for the double chance.

Goalkickers: N. Charles, J. Keyte.

Best Players: E. Neilson, J. Garlick, J. Mahon, I. Porter, D. Pell, D. Clue.

NETBALL

The Tigers played their last home and away game for the season on Saturday. Yea have the bye next week and then start their finals campaigns on Sunday September 2.

A-GRADE Last time these two teams met, Yea recorded over 100 goals to Gembrook's 6. The Tigers didn't record the tonne this time around but still came up trumps easily 89-8.

The game was played in all conditions, sunshine, rain and hail, but this didn't upset Yea's game too much, just slowed it a touch when the weather was at its toughest.

Like B-Grade, Yea were able to rotate their bench all game and alternate many positions, using four different goalers and four different defenders over the course of the game. Great victory to finish off the season and to celebrate Chelseas’ 150th game.

Home and Away Wrap Up - Yea looked hot favourites early in the season until Kinglake upset the Tigers by 1 goal in Round 5.

The round 14 rematch was eagerly anticipated by all, but Kinglake had the upper hand in the second half and won by nine goals.

Yea looked set to finish off the season in second position but Seville knocked off the Lakers yesterday which gave Yea first position, a position they can't lose now.

Therefore A-Grade will rest the first week of the finals and then most likely face Kinglake in the First Semi-Final, what a game it will be.

Yea 89 def Gembrook 8 Goals: N Watts 53, M Martinov 20, R Hickey 11, C Spagnolo 5.

CHELSEA SPAGNOLO’S 150TH GAME

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

■ Congratulations to Chelsea Spagnolo who notched up her 150th game for the Tigers on Saturday in A-Grade’s big win over Gembrook.

Chelsea has been a much loved team mate and club person at Yea for all 150 games, her first in 2010 in the B-Grade side, at just 14 years old.

Her enormous talent was evident and just one season later she was elevated to the A-Grade side and has been an integral part of the side since.

The majority of her earlier years, both juniors and seniors were spent in the goal ring, a consistent and beautiful shooting style the highlight of her game.

In the last couple of seasons her coaches have rotated her through the mid court more and more and she has adapted to the change with ease. A great driving attacker and a strong and hard working defender.

Chelsea has been a grand final player twice for the Tigers, coming off second on both occasions.

This year the A-Grade side is one of the favourites for the premiership and it will give so many players and spectators an absolute thrill if Chelsea has a premiership medal put around her neck.

But win, lose or draw, Chelsea always shows great sportsmanship, a real credit to her proud parents Mick and Sue, and perhaps her greatest supporter, her late Grandmother Bev, who sadly passed earlier in the season.

Chelsea is humble, hard working, supportive and encouraging of all those around her, from D-Grade through to A-Grade.

She is always the first to offer a hand in all areas of the club and always first to put others before herself.

The Yea Football Netball Club is lucky to have you Chelsea and we all congratulate you on this milestone.

port staff for their commitment and perseverance.

RESERVES The Reserves are out of contention to play Finals for the first time in recent years and faced top side Yarra Junction who have improved remarkably from last year.

The first quarter was an even contest in the conditions and Alexandra actually held a narrow lead at the first change but were kept goalless at the hill end in the second quarter whilst the Eagles added two goals.

Alexandra again won the third quarter but had not made much headway into the lead that the visitors held.

The Alex defence led by Chase Pearce did the job in the last quarter limiting Yarra Junction to a solitary goal but Alex could not go forward with any authority and again were unable to kick a goal at the top end, Yarra Junction 6.13 (49) to Alex 4.5 (29).

Best players included Lachlan Platt in his best game so far, Chase Pearce, Will Ingram, Travis Carter, Justin Leary and Jarrod Williamson.

SENIORS The Seniors, in fifth spot a game clear of Powelltown and Yea, took on the third placed Eagles and needed the win to stay in the five, began to the town end but it was the visitors who kicked the first goal.

Because of the conditions play was particularly scrambly with umpire Trevor Biffin and his colleagues opting for numerous ball ups.

Steven Steiner was relishing the conditions and gave Brayden Norris a chance but his long kick was off-line.

The Eagles got a second goal before Joe Daniel marked well and kicked Alexandra's first goal.

A free and 50 metre penalty assisted Matt Steiner to the next goal and Alexandra's pressure was causing some turnovers.

Will Goonan took a fine intercept mark to defend well but the Eagles again forwarded for a goal. Scott Heveren, after returning from an overseas trip, played forward and saw his kick to a vacant goal line touched at the last second.

Also returning to the team was ruckman Jacob Brereton who only touched down early Saturday morning from an overseas holiday and was included as a late replacement as Alex went to the first break six points down.

Alex had the ball forward for some time early but as often happens, the opposition finally gets forward and goals.

Brandon Kapakoulakis was in great form in the slippery conditions and with Ben Cooper and Michael Coombs, won a centre clearance for Matt Steiner to goal soon followed by another to brother Steve as a couple of Junction players became a little undisciplined and gave away a 50 metre penalty.

Alex were still well in the game, trailing by only 4 points as players returned from the warmth of the change rooms for the third quarter.

Yarra Junction soon extended the margin although either side was unable to take control and play was basically between the arcs.

Pat Ferguson in defence for Alex did well as did Conor Heaslip and the Goonan twins Will and Jack.

Cooper goaled for Alex at the half way mark which was to be the last third quarter goal although the visitors let Alex off the hook with many

The last quarter followed a similar pattern with only one goal each (Kapakoulakis for Alex) and five further behinds to Yarra Junction to give them a comfortable 21-point win in a low scoring, low standard game in wet conditions, 7.19 (61) to Alex 6.4 (40).

Alex must now win at Kinglake next Saturday to lock in fifth place and a trip to either Healesville or Woori Yallock for an Elimination Final on Sunday, September 2.

ALEXANDRA FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT SATURDAY The AFLYarra Ranges League Round 17 of the 2018 season last Saturday saw the Rebels return to Rebel Park after two weeks on the road, to host Yarra Junction in two games of football and four games of netball, the Under 18s hosting Healesville.

The Showgrounds oval was in great condition but wet on top after overnight and morning rain, the weather good, bad and then good again as the sun interrupted the cold rain.

The Club welcomed all Life Members for the day in appreciation of their commitment to the Club, we celebrated Ladies Day as we acknowledge the efforts of all women that volunteer their time to make the Club run smoothly and efficiently, we hosted the Glencoe Group staff for their end of season get together, and the Club also welcomed everyone involved in the 1988 senior football Premiership for their 30year reunion.

UNDER 18 The Under 18s took on the second placed Healesville who had also beaten top of the ladder Mt Evelyn a couple of weeks ago with the Rebels to see what improvement has been made since the start of the season.

The visitors made good use of the ball in the first quarter to kick four unanswered goals but then got on top in the second quarter to kick seven goals to one to hold a handy lead at halftime.

The second half was a tight contest as the Rebels continued to tackle and force some turnovers, the visitors adding three goals to one in the third quarter with the last quarter also relatively even, Healesville taking the win 18.12 (120) to 4.6 (30).

Well done to all the players, coach and sup-

THORNTON-EILDON DISTRICT FOOTBALLNETBALL CLUB REPORT

■ Saturday saw Thornton travel to Yarra Glen for the last away game of the 2018 season, coming up against the second placed on the ladder Yarra Glen.

Things were never going to be easy and after a hard season for the Boners on the scoreboard, it would be easy to think that the boys would not turn up.

Both the Seniors and Reserves gave what ever they had in the tank but it was no match for Yarra Glen who were far stronger controlling the game in every area for every quarter.

Despite the score board the Yarra Glen crowd clapped the Boners off and the Boners continued to yet again field two sides each week for the 2018 season which in itself is a remarkable effort by everyone involved in the club.

It’s always darkest before the dawn, heads up lads good things will come for 2019.

This week we play our final game of 2018 at Boner Park; we encourage all our supporters to get along and watch the lads for the final time of this season.

C-GRADE NETBALL C-Grade took to the court again with personal improvement in mind and WOW did it show through.

Special mention to our midcourters and Paige's new netball shoes, which ensured passages of play successfully reached our goal circle time and time again.

Centre passes were contested and won with strength we've been begging for all season thanks to Maggie and Jo. Trademark defence was strong once again and the pressure in the ring with Mel and Maggie reaped rewards multiple times, and goals shot

by Jayne and Sandra brought the scoreline to its final place.

This team played a blinder and is definitely setting a tone tough to match through to the end of the season.

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT

Once again the persistence and commitment is commended and we look forward to seeing what game we can build from this year. So proud.

B-GRADE NETBALL The big guns were brought in for our B-Grade game, and by watching this game anyone could see this was looking something like our dream team.

With the return of a few ex-Bonettes for celebrity appearances, Yarra Glen were forced to work hard for their goals.

The third quarter saw Yarra Glen bring up the pace, but our B-Grade side matched and raised it. We grabbed intercepts, forced errors and brought the roast to the table, resulting in awesome passages of play and fantastic goals

by Rosie, Lauren and Dakota.

Once again our Thornton defence and midcourters played their hardest, gritting their teeth to the final horn - Heather and Maddie turning over ball after ball in Yarra Glen's circle.

With the scoreline irrelevant once more, we congratulate our B-Graders on their tenacity, commitment and versatility, and look forward to what our 2019 will bring.

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL The TEFNC women’s football team travelled down to the beautiful Dandenongs again for the third time this season and their last game for the year to take on Upwey who are about to embark on their first finals series after a very consistent season .

Our girls who were warming up before the game in fine style were looking very ready and determined to put their best foot forward and finish on high note leaving no stone unturned.

The first quarter was played at break neck speed with both clubs going in hard with Upwey kicking three goals for the qtr tefnc nil but that was not a true indication of how close it was and as the cold weather kicked in and kicks were getting harder to get the girls were making sure Upwey fought for every kick as Upwey kicked 3 goals and led 6 goals to nil at half-time.

After the long break and the weather getting colder our girls were getting stronger and stron-

ger and were not giving up after playing with only 16 players for the first 3qtrs and really showing why this team of girls have improved so much as the season has gone on allowing Upwey to score only 2 goals going in at 3/4 time, 8 goals to nil.

With the last quarterr about to begin it was surely expected that the Thornton girls had given their all, and it was about to open for Upwey.

But no it actually opened for Thornton as the girls rallied with only 15 girls on the field as they kicked 1 goal 1 for the quarter, held the ball in the forward line for all of last quarter, and held Upwey goalless.

A fantastic way for the girls to finish off the season after many training sessions and hard work put in by all the girls who represented the tefnc women’s team this year.

A special thanks also to all the people who made the women’s team happen this year round after round and our sponsor support which has not gone unnoticed.

Last but not least to all the girls who had the courage to take the field for TEDFNC women’s football team in 2018, a big thankyou and we look forward to fielding another team in 2019.

group of shooters got to gather to discuss how they might use the Shooting Sports Facility grants program to have all clubs using electronic targets.

The vision included the fact that for big shoots clubs would share targets so that for Club event where two targets would be adequate the sharing of targets would mean that four or more targets could be made available to allow big shoots to run with the same efficacy.

Karramomus, Katandra and Wodonga are the only ranges in the North East region with access to 900 or 1000 yard ranges with “first Class targets", on Saturday Karramomus and Katandra shared their “first class” long range targets.

The shoot also marked the occasion of using the full facilities of the range for the first time for some time as extensive renovations have been undertaken during the last two years by the Katandra Club, led by Peter O’Dwyer, as part of the move to electronic targets.

The target system ran flawlessly and ensured the shoot was completed in good time.

Saturday can only be described as mixed weather. The icy blast from the south brought squalls around Mt Major that sent the shooters scurrying for shelter in gazebos erected for the day.

The chopping and changing of the weather, not just the wind but the light and the temperature really tested the resolve of the shooters was well as their skills.

ECDRA Captain Marty Kelly said he was exhausted at the end of the day has and his coaching team tried to keep on top of the conditions.

The placings were not really clear until well after the final stage when handicaps and class adjustments were made and then the results were double, no triple checked with only 6 points separating the top four teams.

Clearly the 2018 Chase Hayes is going to be one off the closest contested pennants for a long time.

Next Saturday it is round two with two stages over 900 yards at the Katandra range.

Special thanks are extended to the Katandra Club for the use of their range and for the excellent work they have completed to make their range first class.

For the ECDRA shooters the off-rifle scores show that top shot was also a closely contested issue Marty Kelly coming out first with 59.6, 58.2 =117.8 from Graeme Kerr 57.1, 59.4 = 116.5, then David Wallace 58.3, 56.2 = 114.5, Neal Hambridge 53.1, 58.2 = 111.3, Paul Watkins 55.3, 54.1 = 109.4, Geoff James 54.3, 54.3 = 108.6 and Norm Linehan 42, 54.2 = 96.2.

Missing from the team was Brian Houlihan who was shooting small bore at Shepparton and he also had the privilege of shooting on Electronic targets for the first time at Shepparton.

Brian said he was glad he was at Shepparton as the range is not quite as exposed as the Katandra range but the cold wind still found its way across the range.

Brian said he was shooting .22 bench rest style over 50m where the shooter has 54 minutes to complete 60 shots.

The wind swirled around the range and proved to be quite tricky and Brian was up to the task winning third place in B-Grade and ninth place over all in a field of 36 shooters.

Brian hoped to go on to Numurkah on Sunday for their prize shoot, more results from this shoot in next weeks story.

ECDRA shooters are reminded that next week it is back to Katandra for round two of the Chase Hayes being two stages at 900 yards, we both wish the local ECDRA team well and wish for conditions not to be so bleak and cold next week.

EAST CENTRAL DISTRICT RIFLE ASSOCIATION REPORT ■ What a day, what a win for our local East Central District Rifle Association team as they took out the first round of the Chase Hayes Long Range Pennant by two points last Saturday.

It is the fulfilment of a vision developed five years ago at the Railway Hotel in Euroa when a

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 depreciable items and any capital building write off deductions that may apply and then return to the office to calculate and process the report.
